The Royal Family, A question

Am I the only one who thought that the map of China after annexing Laos looked...strange.

...like a penis?

I have a hard time finding Laos on a map. I don't give a damn about whether or not he restores the monarchy. I don't care about him now and won't care about him later.

It's China that should be saber-rattling. After all, pretty much every country in that area is China's puppet (obviously exclusion: Thailand).

Oh, I think I took his question in a different light. I took it as a "so who throughout the world should I be watching out for to cause problems." as opposed to what you indicate was his own self interest and him asking "so who should i watch out for, who will cause problems for ME."

In that latter case, you have it right. But in the grand scheme of things case....I'd say I still have it right

I know I am still considering that route too

So when am I getting invited to this party?

I, personally, think you should whore out to the highest bidder

And if we use the pirates of the carribbean logic, I have the most ships, the biggest economy, and the largest government spending

Hmmmm....an American Puppet surrounded by the mighty dragon and all of its puppets, that certainly wouldn't present any issues whatsoever!

Yeah, but not everyone likes chain smokers with snooty attitudes. And if you get too many women, China might invade for that too


Iran, on the other hand, offers lessons in defense against the evil oppresive regimes of the Great and Little Satans, as well as controlling islands claimed by others with greater military power.

We are always happy to export the Great Revolution, and if you simply convert your people to Islam and govern according to Sharia, we will be happy to accept you as brothers in arms and provide you with all the ballistic missiles and cheap unlicensed copies of obsolete equipments that your hearts desire.


And our women are better

Alright, since everyone's apparently trying to exploit the new guy, I'll say this: Russian patronage -- military arms, technical advisers, trainers, and so forth -- does not come with political or economic strings. You can choose between Western hegemony, independent floundering, Chinese vassalage, or Russian indifference.

I gotta say that's the most tempting offer so far


although....Persian women

No pun intended with the little veil face either

Ok guys the question has been answered.
