You know, I've been wanting to do some lore/rp recently, and so I feel like this would be fun:
What are your countries top 3 strengths and weaknesses??

Strengths:
1- Geography; Since Mallissa is surrounded by the Arabian Desert to the north, Sinai desert to the west and Zagros mountain chain to both north and east, it's extremely hard for any neighbouring countries to invade through the land.
2- Natural Resources; The country's vast oil reserves have supplied enough foreign currency flow to the nation to create a stable currency and an extensive welfare programme.
3-- Large Population; The country is able to sustain a very large population thanks to many irrigation canals and desalination plants constructed thanks to the oil revenue. This has helped to form a modern and well-equipped massive army. Mandatory military conscription has recently been abolished.

Weaknesses:
1- Geography; The nation has to heavily rely on Tigris–Euphrates river system and desalination plants to feed its population. A terrorist attack aiming to destroy the desalination plants or in any way pollute these vital rivers can have a catastrophic effect on the Mesopotamian region, which makes up over 60% of the total population.
2- Seperatist Movements; The nation has been suffering an existencial crisis as there is not a strong united Mallissan identity. The terribly-designed state borders are not helping either, fuelling the ongoing Assyrian Rebel movements in the northern regions.
3- Economic Diversity; Mallissa is suffering a case of Dutch Disease, as the nation suffers to diversify its economy and mostly relies on oil and tourism industries. Steps have been taken in recent years to develop Banking and Arms manufacturing industries.

Anyone wanna get involved in an RP? I have some ideas and was wondering if anyone wanted to join in. We will probably keep the rp on the RMB, probably.

I'd love to join. There hasn't really been one in a while now.
