Coups in the other Countries

[Culise]

Wot the hell are you talking about? I want some of those pills you must be taking.

He's saying that the thread is going off-topic, and also including himself as part of the reason for that. His perfectly purple prose proves itself far from perspicuous, and indeed, perhaps the person should perservere in paring back his more pretentous palaver in order to parse in accordance with a more pithy protocol.

Any~ways, getting back to the discussion at hand, I agree that if a nation that has as a satellite or is a satellite of another nation undergoes a violent revolution, it should break that satellite status and give the mother nation a CB to restore that satellite status and impose a new or the preexisting government as well. This would reflect matters like the aforementioned Mongolia (where the CB succeeded), Finland (where the CB wasn't acted on despite the threat), and a theoretical British restoration should a dominion go wayward. I think it could also contrast with things like the Soviet wars for Poland or Ukraine in this era, which would fall under independence movements, the former succeeding in gaining independence and the latter failing. I'm not certain that a restoration of a dominion status is necessarily called for, though, should it be a dominion link that is broken in this manner. If a military intervention is necessary into the dominion's internal affairs by the mother nation, then the mother nation is unlikely to simply allow a simple return to the original status, especially if it was a democratically elected radical government that triggered the revolution in the first place. In that case, I think a satellite status is better than imposing dominionship, which doesn't seem like it could even be definitionally classed as imposition since it's almost by definition a granted right of local and limited self-rule.

Actually, regarding the CB, that could give rise to a difference between dominion and satellite relationships. A satellite simply breaks free and only the mother country gains a subjugation CB, but if a dominion relationship is broken by the mother nation undergoing a revolution, the dominion also could get a government restoration CB on the mother nation. So, if Britain went Red and forced the royals out, Canada could invade the Isles for Queen and Country if they have the military to allow it.

What possible point is there in playing to the ear of an audience incapable of appreciating the sublime difference between the velar and the bilabial plosive?

Better to confuse and confound in the cause of Learning, than to succumb to the sickening ascent of globish.

Phonology and Prosody Paramount!

Continuing on coups and killings, it seems essential that those who wish to inflict such things must themselves be willing to accept their returning upon the user. In a word, while causing chaos in a minor nation might bring amusement, it is no little annoyance to have such change brought back upon the self. It may be that Paradox has simply chosen the better part of entertainment, and has sacrificed a little amusement to prevent a greater annoyance.

On the third paw, immersion is an oft mentioned goal of players, and it may be that many would willing submit to the sort of regime change that they would themselves inflict without a word expressed against it.
