[QUOTE=Blitzkreig;20410395]Well once we do take over the country we will need defenses. We should start off with efficient and proven defenses. Considering we would not be able to afford originally the most modern missile defense systems and what not. We should start with German Flack 32 "88" guns which can do just about anything, artillery, anti-tank, and anti-air. Some form of anti-air such as anti-aircraft missile systems around military bases and government areas. Checkpoints for our borders etc. Once we build up more economy we can retrofit with more modern defense systems. To start also our standard infantry weapon could be the AK-47 which is cheap and reliable.[/QUOTE]
Sounds good :jihad:

Also, I'm going head to bed, given that it is 12:30 here, and I have my first class at 8. G'night Grand Cabinet. No coups, now!

Use some sort of AK-47 variant instead. Probably even more reliable.

Well we could also use coins if the area is rich in metals that would be suitable. I shall return later for I need to get some shuteye to attend my place of education tomorrow if we are not snowed out again.

Missiles are actually pretty cheep considering the rest of the costs we would have... A French Exocet goes for about 200,000 USD. The french would probably sell them to us too. Though those are only Anti-Ship missiles, I'm sure other missiles that could do damage can't be that much more expensive.

And once we get it up and running, Microwave death rays are where it's at. it'll also impose a constant terror upon invading forces who'll be wondering if some stealth-UAV isn't robbing them of sperm count.
note: all my ideas of techno-nonsense are based off technology that's in development and will be readily available by the end of the 2010's
Also: railguns
And i'd rather be called Minister of Science and Death-ray development

And yes.
Use any futuristic methods of warfare you can.
This will fucking scare this shit out of them.
You must remember we cannot come off as a hostile body from the start. No country would like us or even consider us a country and we would eventually die. You have to first have peaceful intentions, make the place look like a Utopia, make the designated waters an ecological reserve, send out humanitarian missions to crappy nearby countries. Once your granted Sovereignty then you can start a large scale buildup of Military, and Weapons R&D.
Without Sovereignty you are nothing but a floating target full of terrorists.
[QUOTE=Emperor Scorpious II;20409908]Stuff about flood protection[/QUOTE]
Suggestion:
I was thinking of architecture styled with very tall curbs around the roads. Many paths at the side of roads would have small grooves cut sloping down to let rainwater run down into the roads and then into large canals running through the city
The canals would have a good effect on flood prevention but the best protection would be building well above sea level.
We could also get a power supply if these canals and rivers are strong enough.
Military-wise
If the city's ever attacked by an enemy, close the floodgates and flood the lower levels of the city, turning us into Concrete Venice
(I based this off something I read about a German city in World War II, don't remember the name but it was designed to be a fortress that could be flooded to trap the enemy inside)
Civilian safety if the floods do happen
Make the roofs as airtight as possible and give the indoor ceiling a design that's like a bunch of small domes. Those domes will act as air pockets allowing civilians to breathe for a time
Hm, I though about making the city like...
A giant cement base, and in the cement we introduce pillars, then build the city on the pillars, make stairs,make small [] holes on the edges of the city and we're flood free.

This sounds like a good idea, although it seems more based off or Amsterdam's use of flooding the levies in the war against King Louis XIV in the 1600s.
Architectural wise, I've always liked the Hellenistic buildings of the Greco-Roman world, with great overbearing pillars creating an "awe" affect on tourists.
Also, I would like to have marble and bronze sculptures, if it's financially feasible. Sculpture is an art form I feel has died out, and needs to have a renaissance.
I would love to be a high ranking military official. Willing to serve the country through the darkest of days.

We'd have to fund research into effective Jump packs for our military and dominate local nations.
