Ok firstly I would like to apologise. I am not supposed to be here in the first place. I am supposed to be studying for my exams, but this is my free-time rn, and I felt like the bulletin of Cruzeiro had the potential, so I decided to write this long a*s essay as a response.

I read through the whole bulletin, and what I conclude upto is that you are correct. 
But, what is the solution? What if sedrosia has WW1 level weapons? I don't think so then it would be as ridiculous as it sounds like. 
What this rp has come up to be to be honest is on a d*ck measuring contest where people compete on 'how big my ego and my arrogance can be and how capable am I in order to bully and harass others'.

If you wonder if I could provide any solution, it would be simple:
Go the JI and the Legion way. Design your own weapons, contribute something meaningful to this community with your artwork.

And I agree most are not good artists in this matter, so I have a solution for that too:
Nationalism. 
Know why feudal lords don't hold the same status today, spending all day praising themselves as rulers of the world? 
Nationalism. 
Know which system can hold monarchies, dictators, autocrats, despots and the corrupt accountable for their crimes? 
Nationalism.
Know which system is the currently the most successful way of running and uniting a country? 
Nationalism. 
What do I mean by nationalism here? I exactly mean what happened in Europe hundreds of years ago.

German Nationalists at 1848

People from different communities (here in rp, different small nations) found a common goal to unite upon and laid foundation for nation states. It gave away the power of feudal lords, here the arrogant mfs who refuse to accept realism and brought a new era of cultural revolution in not only the European continent but also all around the world.

Nationalism can bring you the sharpest minds together. One can excel in military, one can excel in administration, one can excel in infrastructure and one can excel in scientific progress. Together, they can contribute a lot for a common goal.

Ernst Renan

I would like to quote Ernst Renan, a French philosopher who delivered a speech on the university of Sorbonne in 1882. 

"A nation is a culmination of a long past of endeavours, sacrifice and devotion. A heroic past, great men, glory, that is the social capital upon which one bases a national idea (it applies here, where a nation-state would keep the world balanced).
To have common glories in the past, to have common will in the present, to have performed great deeds together, to wish to perform still more, these are the essential conditions of being a people (Here it could apply again, in the case of common goals. Many nations can work together and bring an era of cultural progress, an artistic renaissance, which contributes some meaningful and long-lasting legacy for our community, just like In-game rp which has a dedicated art, memes, even a music group if I am not wrong. It also means that a more peaceful, understanding, diplomatic and an intelligent group is made, which won't take decisions quickly and lead to issues like skill issue war).
A nation is therefore a large-scale solidarity ... It's existence is a daily plebiscite ... A province of its inhabitants; if anyone has the right to be consulted, is the inhabitant. (here it could apply to constant checks and balances between nations. A nation-state would essentially be more consultative and welcoming of opinions).
A nation never has any real interest in annexing or holding on to a nation against its will. The existence of nations is a good thing, a necessity even. Their existence is a guarantee of liberty, which would be lost if the world had only one law and one master (pretty self explanatory)."

Is it just a coincidence that Germany in rp, despite its very influential players are not making headlines for some really ridiculous content? Is it just a coincidence that us, India, are not involved in any of the unrealistic roleplay? Probably it is just slight inactivity but we are doing much better than the sh*tshow that the roleplay has become.

I, Zullimanistan and Winners, to be frank, were never destined to be reunited, if not a random idea of forming a nation-state. Today, despite our differences, we are good friends and can stand united on any injustice done against one of us. 

Nation-state can lead to immature diplomats take a backfoot and focus on something more beneficial, and mature diplomats to take on the task of forging and maintaining relations with nations around the world. Nation-State can also lead to actual military-experts and enthusiasts take the show and maintain the armies of the particular nation. They can also keep a more intelligent and fact-based check on other nation's military strength.

Nation-state can finally lead a person to be what they want. Personally, I have little knowledge about military. I have no interest in that in fact. It is no coincidence I posted a mobilization of 10 million troops twice. I just have no freaking idea on how militaries work. However, I can draw, I can research on places and present them or I can be a person who can sometimes mediate things for example. This provides me much more scope to focus on, and also keeps me on par with what I like, so that I can dedicate more to that.

No nation is ran by one man. The ones that were, most didn't survive after the French Revolution. Modern nations, despite giving rise to dictators are generally either ran by a party, a democratically elected cabinet, an oligarchy or many other forms where different people are consulted upon before taking a proper stance.

Hence I would like to end my bulletin. Feel free to comment and share your opinion too.

Even monarchies rule with a cabinet. No nation runs like rp nations do.

Ig you misunderstood me. I am not speaking about a rp parliament. I am speaking about forming unions with other people who can help you keep a check and balance power among yourselves, and also help one co-operate on things they actually like.

I think the one big takeaway from this thing is that peopIe need to stop treating rp Iike its something you direct, rather that its something you use your power and foresight to bet on

What I mean by that is that other rpers, and past events are determining the state of the world, your mood can't always be the one driving factor of your nation, and your decisions aren't pushing rp forward, time is

 

Ex: You getting blockaded

You may want to make up excuse after excuse for how your allies got supplies into your country, but you kinda have to suck it up and accept the negative effects of the blockade

 

And gosh, I might be starting something just for the sake of it, but legio is real silent now that it seems everyone agrees to this

Surprised I haven't seen him lecturing us about "muh rp policing"

 

Realistic RP Starts with acknowledging that You don't have full control of the world, which is frustrating, but necessary

Mexico, I meant uniting with other nations to form an union. Check our bulletin for union of India to get a reference.

India is made up currently of eight different small nations, that is me, Pandya, winners, zullimanistan, Bengal, greater Indian republic, barakistan and Jangurupureri. We technically are different nations, but we united into a single nation in rp for common interests.
