What was said has been said today, we all had our discussions, opinions out there, etc. We all talked about this enough in the thread and now it would be best to get the train back on the rails instead of leave it on its side next to the tracks.
We have a Steam group for discussions. Take it there please because there's been enough discussing in here for today.

I feel bad for anyone who ends up as OP.
Running my own threads given me a lot of insight to what the job takes and considering how much bigger this thread is I can imagine the volume of pissing and moaning the op has to deal with on a regular basis.

In the past few days, the Kuril mvd division has been ramping up operations across the country, in an effort to remove any terrorist threat.
Any civilians with any information on possible threats, no matter how far-fetched, is encouraged to come forward with any information that could help.[/quote]
Generally I think we need to be more open to new people. Seeing some new faces in here would really freshen things up.

Be constructive
You would really benefit from using some higher quality models, but the camouflage pattern and insignias look fine.
The Cold War US military guys or even the Vietnam era US military models might work. With the right combination of bodygroups they can be made to look similar to what you've got right now, just much better quality.

Yeah dude but I don't know why I love these models
I liked those models too many years ago, but they're just so low-quality compared to the alternatives these days. Newer models look better and are a lot easier to pose.
At the end of the day, it's your choice. I'm just suggesting some alternative models that would improve the quality without changing the look of your faction too much.

Those are some pretty nice models, they remind me of some of the Scandinavian countries after WW2

The Platine Commonwealth (it's full name being the Commonwealth of Platine Provinces), is a South American semi-presidentialist Confederacy. They have a Chaotic Neutral allignment.
The Commonwealth shares a lot of it's history with Argentina and the Viceroyalty of the Rio de La Plata (both countries' predecessor), since both used to be united in a single nation, the roots of it's independence arose however from the Platine War, between Brazil and Argentina, which ended in 1851 with Brazilian victory. Even though the rebel provinces of Corrientes and Entre Rios helped Brazil win the war, the disagreements between Buenos Aires and the governments of those regions already created a slight sense of nationalism, which was kind of suffocated by the victory. Things changed however after the Paraguayan War (1864-70), even though the alliance composed of Brazil, Argentina and Uruguay emerged victorious, the provinces that now form the Commonwealth were extensively damaged by the war and were the ones that contributed most Argentine fighters, yet little was made to compensate their efforts; this was the greatest reason that led the region's nationalist movement gain strenght, followed by other incidents for the years to come.
In 1877, a separatist revolt exploded in the modern Commonwealth region, it was suffocated by the Argentine government, with Brazilian support, despite it's efforts. In 1891, however, the Brazilian Emperor falls and a republic is proclamated, whose first years were known for economic crisis, inflation and political instability; taking advantage that one of Argentina's strongest partners was in bad shape, a second revolt occurs in early 1892, this time succesfull and the country's independence is declarated in the city of Corrientes. Seeing interest in this situation, the United Kingdom supports the separatists, which emerged victorious in late November of 1893.
The first years of the new country were rough, although the victory over Argentina, it was in debt with Britain, the first Platine governments decided to take advantage of their privilieged geografical position, ideal for commerce, and decided to use it to it's max potential, focusing to turn the country into a commercial and industrial power house. By the mid 20th century, the Commonwealth was almost fully industrialized, slightly overcoming Brazil in the 1940's, especially because of the Commonwealth's rather pacifist policy, keeping them out of both WW1 and 2, as well as being a huge trade partner with multiple South American nations, the country also had a good deal of investments from the Americans during the Cold War era, with time the country got richer, population grew exponentially, individual liberties grew even more, but it's military, remained dated, as the country wished to avoid more conflicts with it's neighbours, especially one of the motives being the importance to their economy of trade agreements and routes estabilished.
Things started to change in the 70s though, the country's economy started to have a downturn and get worse, which only got even worse because of the 1973 Oil Crisis. The fear of a crisis, and even more of a revolution, led the rise to the post of Prime Minister of a said centre-left candidate, Rosario. Promising to overcome the current problems of the country, he started a series of populist policies, which granted him HUGE popular support, thus allowing him to be Prime Minister for a few more years; during the first years, his results were turning out good, but as time passed, debt, corruption, state inneficiency and other problems came, Rosario though, owning a great speech ability, managed to keep the masses at his side and took a more extremist approach, accusing as traitors of the people those who wished his fall. This divided the nation between those who supported or not the government, causing instability and violence.
Ever since the 70s, the Commonwealth has been taking hits after hits, the last one being the 2008 Economic Crisis, however, just like in the past, the country has been showing signs of growth once more and they might overcome their current state, as a Center-Left and Center-Right coalition is dominant in the Provincial and Federal governments. However, they've been growing very aware and rather scared of the ongoing events throughout the world, leading a wing of the government to defend it's time for the Commonwealth to abandon it's pacifist approaches and get more aggresive, as according to them, that led the country's survival to be very dependent on others' good will. They say that if the Commonwealth wishes to reach the 1st World, they need to arm themselves in order to guarantee their independence. They're allied with the Xin Syndicate.

2 Platine soldiers pose for a photo. They were patrolling the city of Corrientes in order to ensure safety during the voting for the Parliament. The Commonwealth's Defense budget has been for many years one of the lowest of all of South America, thus leading it's armed forces to be very dated. It's investments in the military however been increasing as the country's economy shows good signs of recovery.

Stay outta Boliveria son, the Boliverian government has a hard stance on no fraternization with PMC's except for contracts for wetwork. But being a contractor for the Boliverian government isn't all it's cracked up to be. If you fuck up it's your necks on the line. And contractors being executed by the military and private interests to keep every all hush hush if word gets out isn't entirely unheard of.
