Also in multiple Orson Scott Card books if I remember correctly, something about wars being fought by drones in space by the time of the initial alien invasion in the prequel books that were written (I know he sucks yadda yadda I loved his books as a kid)

Seemed like an absurdly healthy economy relative to it's size, a post Soviet economy that wasn't forced to find one extractive industry to make it's thing. First guess was Russia because I figured maybe the numbers were really low due to embargo, but that was way off. Just ended up hopping through the less annihilated post Soviet economies (Belorussia, Lithuania, Latvia).
Also, yeah, I totally think broadcasting equipment is internet shit.
Holy shit it can't be the same guy

Post socialist country due to the advanced capacity for electricity production and fleshed out but tiny industries and one giant extractive industry. Guessed Croatia first because wine + I vaguely remember something about a power issue happening in a Croatian power plant that made UK kettles go off at the wrong time. Ah well, anyway, it ended up being Montenegro.
No, the reason it's relevant is because white people still benefit overwhelmingly from the colonization that still happens. In addition, racism towards white people isn't possible in imperial core nations because they are overwhelmingly white supremacist. Bigotry can in specific cases happen against white people but racism requires the backing of culture at large, bigotry is individualized while racism is systematic.

idk, broadcast equipment and stones made me think about the Galapagos and Easter Island but apparently in Joe Biden's America Ecuador and Chile respectively control them. So, idk, I tried Mauritarus, and honestly just kinda winged it from there. I figured it was by fiji cause of the large stones but I just didn't know what was and wasn't an independent country.
Yeah but we as socialists aren't here for the best morals; if a troop wants to jump on a grenade and save ten people that's fantastic and should be celebrated: but my experience tells me that people like that may as well be science fiction.

From the combination of oil and tobacco this was clearly an island nation off the Venezuelan or Guyanaen Coast; tried Grenada (¯\_(ツ)_/¯ ) and then Curacao and Aruba
Yeah, socialist hopes for getting the military on your side have only been successful when the material conditions were overwhelmingly terrible. If a troop or a vet tries to use their status as a troop or vet to make a point beyond possible tactics, if they try to excuse in any way being a stooge for the US Empire, they're not helpful or useful.
I know this maybe isn't "tactical", but if you were a troop you are irredeemable for your direct role in US Empire and will be going to hell unless you make an effort to genuinely try and help tear it back down. We won't be winning any troops on our side, might as well venerate the ones who care enough to help anyway.
Edit: This is however what I've gathered personally over time, I've not found any convincing literature that supports that troops or vets may help as a force for socialist revolution in the imperial core, and I'll happily be convinced with evidence or a properly backed piece of theory.
Damn! I wonder why the majority of US Vets are fucked up selfish people who don't care about hurting those around them.
Why does he look like he installed the ugliest Fallout New Vegas Character Overhaul mod only for himself. Why's he look like that.
