Favorite Nation of 2300?
- Thread starter Murph
- Start date
I set up the Far Eastern Republic in my IM2.3KU as a sort of cult-of-personality state not unlike modern Turkmenistan or Kazakstan, where the whole country was run at the whim - and for the benefit - of the ruling family.
The self-styled "Uncle Vlad of Vladivostok" This allowed for some occasional comic relief of his Secret Service pursuing some harebrained attempt at world domination. The FER's Interstellar Navy (a single 2240s vintage freighter with a single laser) actually was the first to intercept (and was, of course, destroyed by) the single Kafer fighter to reach the Earth system during the Kafer War.
This act of heroism is depicted on giant propoganda posters throughout the FER.

2300 in the FER would be fun! Great PC interaction with the Japanese. I would have the FER locals absolutely hate their friends from across the sea of Japan (A hold over from the Twilight war perhaps or even the Russian civil war of 1917-1921 when the Japanese occupied Vladivostok!!)
I did, and thank you. The only real problem I have is the use of Spanish names. My wife's family is Hispanic, and so I am somewhat familiar with the culture, and while her mother does not speak much english, all the kids were made to be completely proficient in english. But its a very minor quibble. You guys did an excellent job.
Another small quibble is the lack of the "traditional" regiments- 141st, 142nd, 143rd, 144th Infantry regiments.
In case you hadn't seen it

TANSTAAFL-Definitely the best nation in 2300AD!
The nation named after one of Heinlein's favorite notions.
Also on the front lines against the Kaefer (BEMs!)

I would hope that the 2300 TANSTAAFL doesn't retain Heinlein's obsession with polyamory or his pregnancy fetish.

I also vote for TANSTAAFL on principle. However, I'd whole lot more sympathetic if the writers tried to make it an honest experiement in libertarianism rather than a den of corruption.
But those are my political biases talking...
