>>32042767>>32043022If I may weigh in.
I think that for this to happen, we might need a group of leading figures to rise up in the holonations. Figures who are able to rally politicians and civilians on their side. There could be a singular leading figure around whom these leading figures gather, perhaps some Prince of the HLGG empire or something. Shall call them the Warmaster from now on for obvious reasons.
Ideally the Warmaster would be a neutral party, and as there was an idea about the HLGG being used as a place for which any holo thread could write for, HLGG could work as their place of origin. Nasfaqg is another option due to our decentralized nature, as then we could have a villain rise up here without having to vilify an entire nation, but I dont think nasfaqg would be the optimal place of origin for THE Warmaster, as he should come from a fully holo-leaning nation.
/#/ is problematic because they have no rep. I'd like to avoid having to vilify repless nations.
With nasfaqg specifically, since we are built to be a very decentralized nation where the rich can become what are essentially independent microstates, we could serve as a source of instigating characters and events where no single nation has to be made an evil force.
I dont really like nasfaqg in general being seen as a villain of the setting
because I just want to trade and be friends desu, and I dont think I can handle the heat yet at least, but I'm completely fine if some of the companies and microstates within nasfaqg are seen as such. I dont think this is a plothole since the republic itself treats them as mostly independent, and would actually ally themselves with a foreign power against a nasfaqg company if the latter is seen as having done something that would be considered criminal within the republic, or if their actions threaten the sanctity of global trade.
Also, there might not be need for entire nations to join (unless they want to). We could have the war be like the crusades where a sizable portion of the fighting force are volunteers (likely extremist religious orders) from all across Ailivia and holo-leaning nations. Since there are a lot of holo-leaning nations, building up the fighting force like this would also make the battlefield a lot more even, as then we wouldn't see the national forces take (direct) part in the conflict, unless ofc, a specific nation wants that.
As for nasfaqg participation, I was actually planning on writing a civil war
or a number of civil wars between the "status quo" of the Serene Republic and a force of anti-republic rebels and schizos led by a powerful figure who claims to be a Tako and is possibly a catalognaut, happening at around the 1130s.
This could be tied in with the plans of a niji-holo war, where nasfaqg would participate indirectly with someone on the Inanist (as I shall call them) side cooperating with the Warmaster, whilst the "status quo" side wants to stay openly neutral
but still sell weapons and mercenaries to both sides.Naturally, the Serene Republic itself, as in, the Dev council and Lady Honk, would remain neutral as they are not in the least interested in earthly wars.
Whatever happens, I think it leads to some level of a civil war in nasfaqg, as there would be companies who would want to cooperate with the crusaders, and those who would look towards the east in hopes of profiting from helping the nijis defend their lands.
I dont know, just some thoughts.
