      The North Island and South Island have negotiated a tense ceasefire and formed a united front after agreeing that the inter-Kiwi conflict is a less pressing matter than the end of Australian oppression

    If you’re facing a one-front war, you have justification for your defense. If you’re facing a two-front war, either you started some shit or you got tag-teamed by your neighbors, so a toss up whether or not you deserved it.

    If you’re facing a seven-front war, it is totally and unequivocally your fault. There has never been a country minding its own business that gets dogpiled to that degree in the modern era.

    (In order) Indonesia, Malaysia, Brunei, Papua New Guinea, Micronesia (or maybe more specifically the Soloman Islands), Fiji and the cherry on top of this shit sundae New Zealand. Half of these are Muslim majority countries. IMAGINE

    I notice Singapore is excluded which is fucking hilarious considering that it’s the only country in this region that has an actual history of espionage against Australia.

      I’m trying to imagine a scenario where Norway would be in a seven-ish-front war, but the only scenarios I can imagine are:

      Scenario 1: Norway becomes a socialist state, and so we basically just get Operation Urgent Fury 2, and there’s not much more to say about it.

      Scenario 2: There is an absolutely bizarre situation involving a three-way dispute of Orkney going hot, a fascist Sweden going irredentist, and a fascist Finland trying to establish a Turanist Co-Prosperity Sphere, and then other countries join in a “Scramble for Norway” in a “first as tragedy, then as farce” sort of way, using justifications like “peacekeeping” or “protecting their citizens abroad” or whatever else — the imperial core essentially cannibalizing itself as the periphery successfully resists the core’s parasitism.

      Scenario 3: The Second World War ended with the Nazis somehow negotiating with the Western powers to remain in power in Germany, Denmark, and Norway as a bulwark against the spread of communism. Nazi rule would inevitably collapse in Germany and Denmark at most a few decades later, leaving Norway as basically the German Nazis’ Taiwan. When the “Greater German Reich” then inevitably goes rogue again, we basically just see a tragedy-then-farce sorta-repeat of WWII as it actually happened, except this time Berlin is substituted for Nordstern City.

      Edit: Well, really, nothing says Norway couldn’t become a bizarrely expansionist rogue state without being a rump of Nazi Germany. I feel like this wouldn’t be any more farfetched than imagining this happening to Sweden and Finland.

    MY country? I can’t afford a house and none of my politicians would rather I stay alive. I’d help translate English for the invaders and teach them grappling if they need it. At this point you’d get a stronger reaction if you told me 7 countries were out to attack the strawhat pirates.

    The last time my country got attacked on multiple fronts they officially called it the German Greater Reich, so the Israel comparison is not as hard to imagine as you might think…
