>Government: Is a Federation of States and is also classified as a Republic because the people have a decent say about what direction their country goes because they elect reps from each state. Each state has 10 reps and the size of the state doesn't matter nor does the population of the state. The President(or person that fills that role) can vote if there is a tie seeing as there is 60 reps, an even number 10 from each of the 6 states.

>Mitary:
New Texas’ military is very large and is mostly made up of reserves and national guards. Every male citizen between the ages of 18 and 35 are in the New Texas reserves, while every high school graduate must serve 3 years in active duty in the new Texas military.

The Military is split in three main branches:

-The New Texan Navy
Which includes both spaceships and watergoing ships. New Texas does not have an extensive space program, and what they do have is military oriented and is in the New Texan Navy. There are 10 ranks in the Seaman’s Brigade and 6 ranks in the Navel Officers brigade.

-The New Texan Army
Which Includes all land vehicles and troops. Each soldier is issued a rifle *i can’t remeber the name of* and a side arm. The soldier’s side arm depends on his rank. There are 10 ranks in the regular military and 5 ranks in the officer’s brigade.

-The New Texan Special Brigade
This is the elite of New Texas Military. This branch also includes Border Security, Government Police(secret service), and the Investigations Branch(FBI), as well as the Counter Intelligance Brigade(CIA). It should be noted here that all police in anew texas is military, under the Special Brigade.

>The Economy is .... well I need some help here.

>Technology: The RNT is very Agriculturally Advanced, with the best Tractors/Combines, etc. Plus, Semi-Advanced Military, with highly trained, efficient Fighting men. More advanced in the Infantry, not much in the Air Force or Navy(though there is a small navy and Air Force)
The two techs I picked were better defense forces and ugh I can’t remember.

>Advantages: Smallish Area to defend, lots of Ag potential, and Solid Education
>Disadvantages: Often low approval rating of Government/President because of high regulation, not the best infrastructure because of focus on Military and Ag

His Imperial Majesty Peter I, Emperor of Venus, Pirate King of Libertatia, Defender of the One True Faith, Lord Marshall of the Outer Reaches, Protector of the Free City of Mar del Plata, Prince of Pacifica, etc, wishes to inform the government of New Texas as to the existence of the Empire of Venus. The Empire of Venus is the largest polity in the solar system, measured by land area, and rules over a unified planet Venus through a network of vassals tightly bound to the central empire. The Venusian race is heavily genetically modified, and the culture is highly religious. Despite the prominence of the militia in social life, the Venusian Empire is the sole major power in the solar system today without a standing army.

Now that you have been informed about us, the Venusian Empire inquires as to the precise nature of your government - New Texas claims to be both a righteous monarchy, as well as a Communist Republic, whereas it is the opinion of the Empire that the two designations are ideologically irreconcilable. The Empire intends to withhold official recognition until this fact of government form has been established, it being the policy of the Empire of Venus to not recognize illegitimate communist regimes. Reception will be warmer to a monarchy.

The Venusian Trade and Export Authority will, nevertheless, be given the authority to open limited commercial relations. As the premier arms dealers in the known universe, their services are of great value and they don't have any qualms about selling arms to any willing buyer.

Welcome to you from the PCG (Phoenix Corporate Group).

We're dispatching to you one of our Master Tellers to serve as Ambassador to your nation (Tellers are the wise-men of our culture, the product of a school of thought called The Craft). He will arrive with a selection of our culturally significant texts and artworks for your national archives. We also welcome your own Ambassadors to both PCG Terra and Mars.

An industrial nation (Asteroid Mining and Construction are the backbone of our economy, with Media, Tourism and Agriculture among our other contributors), we're largely socialist in our execution (eg, we're very proud of our Universal Healthcare, which is free to all within the corporation), and we have a long tradition of humanitarian aid work through The Darius Initiative (our equivalent of MSF/doctors without borders).

At this point, the Corporation is over 600 years old and is responsible for the administration of government within 8 regions over 2 planets - PCG Mars contains the home regions of Frasta, Tigris Planus, Langale Province, Elostil & Firne, while PCG Terra contains the regions of Colombia, Ecuador & Peru, in South America.

Our government is democratically elected, but those rising to membership of the governing body (our board of directors) are essentially lifetime appointments.

You should be made aware that the FUN (Federation of United Nations) has a Samaritan Fund, from which, 1 trn cc (1,000,000,000,000 cc) has been made available to you.

These funds are intended to help you tackle your most pressing social and economic concerns. They are a grant, not a loan, so you won't have to repay them.

The money comes with just one provision - it cannot be used to purchase (or fund the development of) military hardware.

Let us know if we can be of any further help to you.

In peace and plenty, for all.

Uriel ap Idris,

11th President of the Corporation and member of the governing body.

Emperor Peter I,

Greetings from the United Communist Republic of New Texas.

It is my understanding that you do NOT have a standing army(besides various militias) and you are the sole controller of the Planet Venus. That is indeed a very impressive feat.

The Republic of New Texas is controlled by me, President Willard Joshua Jones, the very first president of New Texas. I was elected out of the New Texas Parliament. New Texas only recently unified, and the parliament has chosen me to lead this newly formed republic. Though I have almost unlimited power, I am very just and fair to my people. The parliament is elected from the people, by the people of New Texas.

The official religion of The Republic of New Texas is “New Baptist Christianity”, a new form of the old Baptist religion of the United States of America. The entire Republic is very religious, and besides a few factions of old Catholic Faith the majority is New Baptist.

As to the offer of arms, our Infantry is extremely advanced, but we don’t have the best and newest weapons. Make no mistake, we could hold our own, however, we have not yet invested much into Weapons. We would be willing to trade food supplies, as we have an abundance of crops and food recourses. The Republic of New Texas is very open to trade.

Most Respectfully,
President Willard Joshua Jones,
Ruler of the Republic of New Texas

Greetings Texans

The ArchChief sends his regards. We are a state in Mobius: the illustrious defenders of Earth. The great green giant. And the best neighbor you could want. The giant shield in the sky is ours. You shall have no fear of invasion by hostile aliens while it stands!

As an Earth-based nation you are hereby invited to the League of Cairo. It is a league of Earth-based nations. You get a vote in its congress with no commitment required, so feel free to express your voice.

We have cleared space in the Mobian portion of Cairo for a Texan embassy. We can exchange it for a similar piece of land in your capital, if you would like.

Welcome children of Earth.

President Uriel ap Idris,

Your amassadors are most welcome in the Republic of New Texas. The Republic is currently constructing a new Embassy to house any and all ambassadors from foreign countries. A plot of land has been allotted that is yours in New Houston.

As far as the currency you have offered the Republic, we will gladly accept your gift and we intend to use it for the purposes you have described. The 1,000,000,000,000 cc will be added to our Treasury.

And ArchChief of Mobia,

Your ambassadors are welcome as well. A plot of land has been set aside in our Capital City of New Houston for your ambassadors. We will gladly accept your protection from Extra Terrestrial invasion and what not, as we do not have a space program at all.

Please, gentlemen,
Let me know if there is anything I can do for you.

Thankfully,
President Jones

The Khan Republic welcomes New Texas to the global stage. The Khan Republic would like to open communications through an Embassy with New Texas.

Meanwhile the Democratic Union of Asterian States a military communist nation wishes to send an embassy to the fellow communist nation of New Texas. However the Republic of Asteria - RAKU Aligned forces ask that you do not recognize the usurpers of Asterian leadership. It will be met with consequences when they regain power over what is righteously theirs. The Republic-RAKU aligned forces are willing to send a delegation as well but only if you agree not to recognize the Democratic Union of Asterian States.

[Subotai45]

So are you or are you not a communist regime? You're also a highly religious nation, yet the two seem contradictory.

(Christian Socialists are a thing. The guy who wrote the Pledge of Allegiance was one. Not sure if that was what Willie was going for tho)

Thank you for your warm greetings. As with other peaceful nations and world powers, some ground will be given to you for an embassy here, in our capital New Houston.

The governemnt of the Republic of New Texas formally recognizes the Democratic Union of Asterian States and is willing to support the Demacratic Union in any way as much as we can, such as food supplies and munitions(for weapons developed before 2100).

As for the Republic of Asteria and other RAKU aligned nations, we will readily accept delegations and do not wish to cause any negative reputcutions. Please accept the embassy we are preparing for your delagates.
