[QUOTE="marcoasalazarm, post: 6456444, member: 26698"] OK, been thinking of some stuff, then... bit indecisive about a detail to add to the setting. Don't know whether to add a civil war (or potential for civil war) to Costa Rica or not. Well, *second* civil war. To elaborate: Costa Rica is a neutral country, and one of the things that allows us to be neutral is a big "nothing important here" sign. We don't have resources worth fighting for like oil, we are not on a strategically important position to be worthy of invasion (we are connecting both sides of the American continent, but would be better to invade Nicaragua or Panama), we don't export anything more important than Intel chips, coffee and such (well, there is my idea of having us be suppliers of some tech for the Starfleet ships, but if you really wanted to deal a blow to Starfleet, it would be best to attack San Francisco or Detroit or Mars). But there is the fact that on The Line, we have the Ninja village of Konohagakure on one of our provinces. And Konohagakure holds ninja that are living weapons of mass destruction (such as, well, most canon Narutos by now). So anybody holding a beef with Konoha would invade Costa Rica to attack the village, and most probably would need to unleash weapons of mass destruction if they are to make damn sure that they are dead. And of course giving citizenship to a veritable army of Narutos/Sasukes/Ninja means that CR *could* be potentially violating its agreements of neutrality. So the government is, understandably, quite nervous about this. And on their collective nervousness about this, they are envisioning ways to "fix" this, the top two possibilities being either ask Konoha to pull stakes and leave or make the entire province of Guanacaste (where Konoha is located) secede and make it purely Ninja territory. Goes without saying that neither option is one that the rest of the citizens of the country are looking up to. So am on the line about this. And I kinda need help, folks. [/QUOTE]
