Would it be possible to get my nation analyzed? Just as a few things notable;Relations between IUCC and Urcea are ice cold, with no signs of warming at all. We have a massive military. There's an ongoing conflict in southeast IUCC. And of course, colonies.

kuhlfros Kuhlfros resides in the north eastern portion of central Ixnay due to its location it has access to the Northern Ixnay ocean and the Coscivian strait. It also has access to the strait of Odoneru strait via a large inland strait however this access could be restricted by neighboring countries that also share this waterway. Its sea access to the other previously mentioned bodies of water could be contested by neighboring states however we do not believe they could be completely restricted do to the sheer size of the bodies of water and the amount of maritime assets that would be required to lock down every sea lane. With the exception of the desolation islands your neighbors are all bigger than you and the largest shared border being with Lacus Magni who is about 4 times your size however, at this point in time we have not noticed any acts of aggression coming from this country and do not have reason to suspect that they will attempt to do so in the future but we do suspect that if provoked they will do what is necessary to protect the territorial integrity of the nation including their overseas holdings. Your neighbor to the west is Kistan who maintains a population about 1 billion people larger than you however, while there economy is growing it is not as economically powerful are the united states of kuhlfros and this leads us to believe that they would maintain a smaller military. We are unaware at this time of any potential threat to the united states of Kuhlfros from the Imperial Republic however we would note that in the event of war they would be able to impede access to the Odoneru strait We would note however that they do maintain trade ties with both Absurrania and the Sovietyeto which we do believe you have levied sanctions against. It would be wise to consider the implications of trade with this nation if you do not wish Kuhlfros monies from inadvertently moving to those countries until sanctions are lifted. You share a common water way with the second largest economy in Ixnay the Federal republic of Urcea and believe that because of this the trade that flows through to the federal republic would also give a boost to the economy of Kulfros as a fringe benefit in peacetime However do to the ongoing civil war between the monarchist factions and the federal republic at this time we believe your access to the strait of Odoneru would be greatly impacted if not completely impeded. It may be worth choosing a side to support in the Urcean civil war in the hopes that it could end hostilities quickly due to the fact that armed conflict has already commenced we do not see a peaceful resolution to be viable. Should Kuhlfros desire to stay out of the civil war it may be possible to negotiate with both the empire of Urcea and the federal republic to ensure open water ways however that would carry risk of life and limb to your diplomatic corps and due to the nature of war would still carry risk to trade vessels attempting to navigate the waterways. At this time we currently do not suspect a military threat from any of your neighbors we would point out that you do share a common water way with ungoverned land to your west and as we pointed out in the Eorlingan assessment that brings up the issues of lawlessness and piracy that could possibly effect the trade and good order within the country. It should also note that with the recent collapse of the Valariyan government your north eastern sea lane is now under threat from the lawlessness and anarchy of a failed state. Speaking of failed states you also share a common waterway with the failed state of Arcerion. However. The Imperial Kingdom of Pauldustllah and the United Federation of Prizyesta are currently conducting military operations in the failed state in an attempt to restore order and as the Territory is currently under the dominion of the Imperial Kingdom trade vessels operating in the Kingdoms territorial waterways are afforded protection by the Imperial Navy and would be allowed to travel unmolested. As for your military and the threats it may face you face the possibility of both having a land invasion or an amphibious assault from any direction. Should you maintain a small military we would recommend that they maintain absolute expeditionary capacity and emphasize speed and rapid deployment should you find yourself out numbered in an invasion the rapid deployment of your forces would allow you to gain localized superiority by concentrating your forces quicker than your enemy, we would maintain strong costal defenses in the south as we do not believe it worth the effort to station large number of warships in the channel as it would be detrimental to the naval assets in the area. However a force consisting of littoral vessels such as monitors backed by shore stations and air craft would provide a good defensive posture. Kuhlfros has stated that it maintains forces abroad but, at this time I am unsure as to where they may be stationed however if you maintain forces overseas you will need the logistics structure to support it when doing so bear in mind a force of 16,000 United States Marines requires one 50,000 ton multi-good ship to support it for 30 days and those are light troops. You will need a large array of supply ships to support operations abroad and will have to ensure they are scheduled appropriately we believe that a foreign policy that promotes the unmolested flow of trade and the stability of the nations around you would be a good start as both policies would improve quality of life and provide a more secure environment. |

Malayssi Malayssi in an island nation that rests in the western area of Ixnay known as Audonia and is in a prime location for unrestricted access to the sea lanes in the Coscivian Sea and the strait of Odoneru. Despite having the largest population compared to your immediate neighbors of Luxew and Aerolah. Malaysii appears to contain less land mass that your neighbors which could explain your expansionistic tendencies with your recent invasion and conquest of Bahdann being a prime example. Your countries proximity to neighboring islands and your expansionist policies increases the likely hood of armed conflict however as we have not seen any major warfare in that area of the region our best guess is that should you be on unfriendly terms with your neighbors to your south that and conflict that would arise would be a limited military engagement followed by increased tensions, military buildup, followed by another limited engagement. Do to the way your nation is laid out and the distance between your many islands a strong navy is not only a good idea it is absolutely necessary for your survival. However while necessary if you believe you can maintain air superiority within the territorial domain of Malayssi a strong airlift capacity to move military equipment and soldiers could be used. Not to substitute your sea lift capacity but to augment it. We also suspect that due to your geography that the equipment used by your ground combat element is more than likely emphasizes speed and firepower over armor this is because heavier armor impedes your ability to rapidly deploy it by air. It is probably also smaller so you can fit more of them on troop transports. We suspect that your land doctrine is designed around short high intensity combat which would appear to work wonderfully in that area of the region however you may run into problems should you attempt to make landfall in one of the large continents in the region or globally. The advantage your geography gives you is this. Should you come into conflict with a country to you south you have the ability to impede sea access to the rest of Ixnay although you would not be able to cut it off completely you could forces your enemies to move shipping lanes further south through the great pelian sea which would mean a greater transport time which would increase the cost of moving goods and could adversely affect the economies of your southern nations. On the flip side should you find yourself in conflict with Cyllea they could impede your access to the east. Looking at your military man power it is my personal opinion that the allocation of your forces are mostly in balance although should you find yourself lacking transport capacity a rebalance with a large sea lift capacity or air transport capacity would not be looked at as strange by anyone. Should you find yourself in a budgetary bind in regards to your defense budget we would not recommend cutting funds to your education budget as a more educated citizenry is necessary in order to more effectively operate sensitive military equipment. By all appearances you do not seem to face any internal threats which would explain why your law and order budget is not your main focus and your border security seems to be performed by your armed forces. Your biggest military threat would probably be the GSE who seems to have economic and military parity the fact that you have fought before in your history leads us to suspect that you will clash again in the future. |

Eorlingan empire The Eorlingan empire resides in a strategic location in the greater Ixnay region sitting on the southern entrance to the darklands strait and the western entrance to the Coscivian sea which provides access not only to the Dark lands strait but to the strait of Odoneru (although frankly Pauldustllah considers both straits to be the same body of water) This would allow the Eorlingan empire entrance in the international stage despite is relatively small population in relation to the larger economies across Ixnay. You currently do not share a border with anybody and your nearest land neighbor is Kauvara. With the land in between being under no national jurisdiction, while not knowing much about the wild land in between it is known that Kauvara has had internal problems not coming from the populace, but something called the beast wars which may or may not spill over into the ungoverned areas in the dark lands. While I am not sure if such things would affect the Eorlingan empire in anyway, you can be sure that ungoverned areas breed criminal activity I am willing to bet that due to the proximity of ungoverned lands to two major shipping lanes that there would be pirate havens with in proximity to the territorial waters of the erolingan empire. The empire has two possible ways to be invaded an amphibious assault directly onto the Eorlingian empire and an amphibious assault into the ungoverned areas around the empire followed by a push into the northern borders by land. Either way your enemies will come from the sea even if the send paratroopers, the planes required to carry them will need to be flown into an air strip within range which would require a maritime operation to seize it. It would make sense to maintain a strong police force to provide internal security do to your proximity to potentially dangerous areas. When it comes to defense I believe you have expressed your desire to remain neutral so a large expeditionary force would be unnecessary and even wasteful. So an army trained and equipped to defend the homeland would not be a bad move on your part however the being said a strong navy that has expeditionary capabilities would be a good idea if you wanted to adopt a strategy to destroy a potential aggressor before they reach the shores of your nation. If you really dont want that a capable brown water fleet would suffice but I would then recommend a strong coast guard to patrol sea lanes and clear out dens of riffraff in the ungoverned areas. Your strategic planners would probably evenly spread out your military bases and forces but if a threat exists to your north you would begin to see swelling numbers of troops garrisoned in that region of your country. That said your location on the map would mean you probably be big time into maritime trade and also you would be in the flight path of Kauvaras silc road so your foreign policy would probably have a lot to do with trade and maritime security do to your unimpeded access to the sea. |

Sakatia Now my analysis of Sakatia. You are an island nation, You do not share a border with any hostile nation (unless you count Poseidon) So the resoning for you having a smaller land force makes alot of sense it makes even more sense when you consider the fact that 43% of your government budget goes to law and order, the size of your police force means you do not need a large standing army to maintain internal security. However you maintain an even smaller navy which confuses me. I am not sure what the mission statement is for each branch of your armed forces. If you army mission is mearly just to defend the homeland that makes sense If your navies is the same then I would be befuddled. Here is why, since you are an island nation if you just wanted to have a strong enough navy to defend yourself that would make sence however, you hold territory in the north Ixnay ocean. you will need a navy large enough to keep the sea lanes open between your homeland and it's overseas territories. It may be a good idea to havy your navy keep the sea lanes open anyway since any imports you have come by sea as do your exports. while we are on the subject of sea lanes it's a good idea to take note that while I am not sure what Sakitas relationships are with any of it's nehibors to the west. the eastern sea lanes run close to the Sovietyeto and Absurrania. Which you are not on the best terms with ICly and the sea lanes to the north you will more than liekly encounter Cyllea who while Am not sure if they joined Sovietyetos Pact of steel they were in the last alliance with the soviet and Absurrania and if i were to guess are more than likely still on friendly terms with them. I could probably also hazzard a guess at where your military planners station your land forces around your island. looking at you location in Ixnay I can see some foreign policy options that may be beneficial to you. having cool relations with both absurrania and sovietyeto may not be the route I would recomend but, since that is where things stand right now you still have plenty of options for finding ways to keep the sea lanes open. As for your armed forces I would personally recomend that you make yoru navy your largest service based on what I have just said. If you want to have a more expiditionary force I would also recomend increasing the size of your marines or naval infantry(whatever you call them). |

Absurrania I can see why Absurrania has a large standing army. It's easy to figure out that reasoning behind it by looking at the Map of Ixnay. For starters to his north, Is Pauldustllah a nation that whos population is roughly 7 times his size and lately relations have cooled due to the Aperonian situation. speaking of which Aperonia is another reason why a large defense force was needed. sine the nation CTEd recently which I consider icly as a government collapse and decent into anarchy. a large defense force would be nessesary to maintain order to keep the violence from spilling oveer into Absurrania. Absurrania also shares a border with Annihilli wastes, which to be quite honest I am not sure the story behind it however looking at this (http://w11.zetaboards.com/Ixnay/topic/10039507/1/#new) tells me it is similiar to the situation in Aperonia. He also shares a border with the Talion Union, which is currently undergoing a civil war. So Absurranias eastern border rests up against a wall of anarchy. That is reason enough to maintain a medium sized standing army with a large pool of reserves. If I were to hazzard a guess at where his department of defense built bases and deployed the bulk of his active military strenght is stationed at, it would be to the east. Also to his east lies the Sovietyeto. While by all accounts both countries seem to be on friendly terms keep in mind Sovietyeto is almost 4 times(3.733) his size in population, If the two were ever to engage in armed conflict with eachother Absurrania would need a big enough active duty force to at least stall an invasion long enough to have a large pool of reserves called upp to expell an invading force. Also looking at his location in Ixnay I could hazzard a guess at what may drive his foreign policy and it also explains why he would seek good relation with both Pauldustllah and the Sovietyeto. seeing as how we are the only two stable governments that share a land border with him. If you take the time to look up the goverment spending break down of both Pauldustllah and Absurrania you will notice that he and I share a similar allocation of tax dollars to defense and law an order while we may have both arrived at that with oter oocreasoning in mind the map and IC geopolitical events provides a very good reasoning for it. |

The Imperial Union of Cyllea and of Constantinalia Is an island nation located in the North West portion of central Ixnay and is a land mass that helps form the strait of Odoneru and the Audonian strait. And has direct access onto the Coscivian Sea. Due to its location it has direct access to the main sea trade arteries within the region and would help explain its economic prosperity over the years due to its location and ease of access would make this country a historical target for foreign invaders and commerce raiders. It is our opinion that this would lead to an increased security budget both with internal security forces and military power. We believe that because of the historical need for a large defense force warrior culture became an important aspect of the cultural identity of the Imperial Union. Due to its proximity to major economic Rivals sets the Imperial union up for conflict both militarily and economically with its east (Urcea) and North east (Kirav) being both larger in population and sheer economic Size we suspect the Imperial union to equate it’s military strength as necessary for its survival as opposed to one of Imperialistic ambitions. Although the Imperial Union maintains colonial possessions we do not believe this was due to an expansionary mind set. Due to the fact that both Kirav and Urcea have colonial possession directly to the south of the Imperial union which could be used as a staging point we believe that the Union took possession of territory as a buffer state to intercept aggressors and views both Kirav and Urcea as a major threat to the Survival of the Union. Due to this sensitive geopolitical situation we suspect that the bulk of its land forces are staged in a manner to size the Landder territories at the outset of hostilities while it’s navy would destroy enemy assets in the sea of odoneru; because the Imperial Union holds overseas possession we strongly believe that Imperial Unions military has developed comprehensive expeditionary capacity and is able to perform long distance operations as required however it’s home territory is a series of Islands which leads us to believe that they devote some resources to a home fleets that provides littoral warfare capability. We suspect that the foreign policy of the Imperial union will become increasingly belligerent especially in regards to Urcea as we believe that the Imperial Union may view the Urceans as foreign invaders and therefore the Union will attempt to gain economic and military parity. While we do believe that armed conflict between the Imperial Union and the federal Republic will happen we do not believe it will occur in in the near future due to the Urcean civil war. After the civil war has been decided we believe we will see increased reports of belligerence within the Strait of Odoneru which could adversely affect third party states that use the strait as an important trade route. A state who wishes to conduct dialogue with the Imperial union in the near future would probably consider making some sort of non-maritime interference agreement with the union to ensure unmolested passage in the event of conflict with the urceans.
