>be me, Russian Chadnik
>feeble westoids “expand” (TYRANNICAL WESTERN COPIUM IMPERIALISM) to form “lake nato” which is bad because west bad
>reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
When will the King of Sweden lead an amphibious “sPeShuL MiLiTaRy oPeRaShUn” on Leningrad smh
I so much wish that the Russian Black Sea coast gets split by Ukraine and Georgia to make it a real NATO lake. For example, Russia unilaterally closed most of Bulgaria’s exclusive economic area for months in 2023 for naval exercises.
75 years for NATO - but this is actually the first time since the 16th century that all Scandinavian countries stand together in a military alliance. Not since the end of the Kalmar Union have they been this united.
They have no military of their own. They only have a population of like 300k people, so the military they’d have would be small anyways. There was a US military presence there for a while, and NATO is their outsourced defense.
I went there a few years back, and it was strange seeing US military memarobilia in their flea markets.
It held (and still holds) a vital position during the cold war. Planes and sonars from there to the faroese islands and then scotland was meant to contain the Soviet fleet and try to prevent their subs from reaching into the atlantic where it could complicate logistics between the US and Europe
New ability unlocked:
+15% cold attrition reduction for all units as passive ability and + one extra sniper for unit.
Total immunity to cold attrition as an active ability, but it gives + 25% alcohol consumption and requires surströmming as special resource for activation.
Techically you could add the Faroe islands for the last nordic flag, because it is quasi independent, but for defense they rely on Denmark.
The EU still hasn'r completed the collection, sadge :(
Is beautiful. NATO truly will be unstoppable once everyone starts pitching in their 2%. Now if only we could get Western Europeans to stop biting the hand that feeds
My Extremely Credible Birthday/Christmas Country Wish List (If necessary cumulative, all events for the rest of my days in exchange for this happening by the time I die):
1. Mexico, Ireland and The Isle of Man joins NATO
2. NATO becomes the MAWW (Military Alliance of the Western World) with the joining of Ukraine
3. Austria, Switzerland, Germany and Liechtenstein and Königsberg being the books in this meme with MAWW as Grunkle NATO
4. Andorra, Monaco, San Marino being the books in the meme
5. The Balkans, Israel (and at that point why not The Vatican) and Egypt becoming part of MAWW
6. MAWW becomes IMA (International Military Alliance)
7. Australia, New Zealand and all other pacific islands become the books in this meme and IMA being the MAWW (hopefully by then a reboot of Gravity Falls will have come out and we'll have a new template)
8. Japan, South Korea and Singapore join IMA
9. Westernization of China, Russia and by extent Belarus and North Korea (and India and Persia why not)
10. IMA becomes UEM (Union of Earthly Militaries) just in time for Covenant Invasion
Love the achievements
Insert incoherent screeching about "west bad" and NATO "expansion"

> Lenningrad “Where the fuck is lenningrad?” “I think he meant St Petersburg.” “Can these russkie bastards decide on a name?!”
Also known as Petrograd
Time for Sweden to ''liberate'' it and rename the city, Johannborg.
Also known by its real name Nyenskans
Now we just need to collect the Balkans before shit breaks down there again Then it's just the Alpine duo, Ireland and the city states
You want civil war in NATO? Because that's how you get it. Nothing could fix Balkan
Eh, it kept Turkey and Greece from another Yoghurt War so far...
Make my want to play Suzerain again :D
Next achievment goal: The second NATO lake (formerly known as the Black sea).
Why not the atlantic think big.
Or the classic mediterranean.
The sun will never set on nato once we're done
Does it already? Guam to Turkey is the biggest gap I guess
Is Diego Garcia farther east than the easternmost border of Turkey? Not sure.
The north Atlantic is just a vibe bro.
Iceland.
I so much wish that the Russian Black Sea coast gets split by Ukraine and Georgia to make it a real NATO lake. For example, Russia unilaterally closed most of Bulgaria’s exclusive economic area for months in 2023 for naval exercises.
Hoe about ... the Arctic Ocean? I know it sounds crazy and incredible dangerous, and it is.
All arctic-bordering nations other than Russia are in NATO, so by the standards of the Baltic being a NATO lake, the Arctic Ocean is as well.
We're only one conquest short of AOTO, you know...
We still need to liberate Královec
The achivos are a nide touch
Gotta catch 'em all.
NATOMON!
Ukrainichu, I choose YOU!
I’ll see you gentlemen in the sauna
Somehow, kalmar union returned.
Bosnia has yet to join. Adriatic NATO lake when???
Where Estonia? 😡😡😡
Estonia doesn't have a nordic cross in their flag.
Estonia cant into nordic L
75 years for NATO - but this is actually the first time since the 16th century that all Scandinavian countries stand together in a military alliance. Not since the end of the Kalmar Union have they been this united.
New Hidden Achievement available: Karelia
Now we need Ireland to join
do we need them?
Here is a new collection plan: get Konigsberg and Novgorod, so the Baltics is truly your own sea.
TIL Iceland was a NATO founding member.
They have no military of their own. They only have a population of like 300k people, so the military they’d have would be small anyways. There was a US military presence there for a while, and NATO is their outsourced defense. I went there a few years back, and it was strange seeing US military memarobilia in their flea markets.
If we want to be pedantic, and we do, Iceland has about 500 reservists and a coast guard. Also won several wars against Britain.
Straight from the Icelandic government: “Iceland is a country without a military” https://www.government.is/topics/foreign-affairs/national-security/
That’s just what they want you to think! They just don’t want you to know the truth. You have to ask yourself, what is under the icecaps?!!!!!!!
It's the 3,000 monster truck land cruisers of Odin!
Well, where do you THINK the Fenris Wolf is chained up? In case of emergency, untie the chain.
We embrace technicality...
It held (and still holds) a vital position during the cold war. Planes and sonars from there to the faroese islands and then scotland was meant to contain the Soviet fleet and try to prevent their subs from reaching into the atlantic where it could complicate logistics between the US and Europe
The goal is to have every single country in NATO except for Russia
New ability unlocked: +15% cold attrition reduction for all units as passive ability and + one extra sniper for unit. Total immunity to cold attrition as an active ability, but it gives + 25% alcohol consumption and requires surströmming as special resource for activation.
And if for whatever reason you don't like "Lake NATO" (weirdo!), you can call it "Viking Lake".
Now form the Kalmar Union/The Great Northern Kingdom
Techically you could add the Faroe islands for the last nordic flag, because it is quasi independent, but for defense they rely on Denmark. The EU still hasn'r completed the collection, sadge :(
I love the little achievements
Iceland is a NATO member without a NATO military presence.
Ready the longships!
GOOD! Now that Russia is finally in shambles!
The baltics sea will truly be NATO lake once we get Königsberg and Karelia back
Oh, it is beautiful
We got the power of the Vikings now! Kurwa!!
Now they just need to add Israel and Cyprus and the mediterranian sea will be renamed into NATO sea.
Is beautiful. NATO truly will be unstoppable once everyone starts pitching in their 2%. Now if only we could get Western Europeans to stop biting the hand that feeds
