Talk:Tasnica Republic

HONKA HONKA!!--Scen 23:18, 6 September 2006 (CDT)

At the end (space colonies) i was very tired.

Will do people and probably history tomorrow. But sleep. Precious sleep now.--Celiose 04:26, 7 September 2006 (CDT)

I could swear Merge II was an inhabited earthlike planet in a twin system. Maybe you meant Merge III? --Xstryker 07:33, 7 September 2006 (CDT)

I will need to check--Matt and I discussed it and figure dit out (this is the colony Earthblade Mercenaries was hired from). Also, I would like everyone to note I decided NOT to retcon Tasnica into a nation that was conquered by Foo in the KMT War, as my first NP on the wiki originally stated.--Celiose 14:21, 7 September 2006 (CDT)

Merge I and II are the earth-like worlds. If Travis is referencing Herbert, it was on Merge IV. --Scen 14:42, 7 September 2006 (CDT)

I think --Scen 14:42, 7 September 2006 (CDT)

My mistake, I will fix it. It was at the tale end of a very long night and my old notes from 1999 listing all the colonies I was pretty sure were wrong but I was too tired to correct that. --Celiose 15:41, 7 September 2006 (CDT)

Behold, the largest article on the wiki.--Celiose 19:29, 7 September 2006 (CDT)

So, we had great fun over in the Stacia Apelbaum thread, and at 5 am this is all I can think about, so I'll throw it out there:

Which real-life or historical empire does the Tasnica Republic most resemble?

I have good arguments for a number of contenders but I'm interested to see what other people think.--Celiose 04:02, 8 September 2006 (CDT)

• British Empire in the 1950's. --Xstryker 08:18, 8 September 2006 (CDT)

Vast empire undergoing reforms into a welfare state as it is slowly eclipsed in prominence by a cold war between communism and anticommunism? Not bad, Adam. Especially since thinking of the earlier Tasnica Republic its easy to dry a paralell with the earlier British empire, with its far-flung territories, economic motivation, and prominence of corporations with private armies (East India Company and DeBeers). Rhodes Palmerston, after all, gets his name from the British Prime Minister Lord Palmerston and the British Imperialist Cecil Rhodes, who conquered most of Africa. The fact that I recently decided to revisit Kakkara in the mold of the Australian outback is just a funny coincidence. In light of Tasnica's libertarian social values, another good case could be made for the Netherlands if the Netherlands were actually an empire. --Celiose 17:54, 8 September 2006 (CDT)
