When did you last have an Expansion? Kaljurand civil war (1574), if that counts, then only in a different planet.
When was the Expanding Country's last military conflict? 1550s (short-lived Hoinomese civil war...more like a bloody counterrevolution actually)
Why do you seek to expand? My original idea was creating some havoc in Hoinom, but I feel that would be likely ignored turned into a national story (which is not bad, but similar what I’m being done with my other nations for a while). Involving Tieguo and turning some kind of *negative expasion* would probably involve others more actively, and I had some ideas for stories for a nation like Tieguo could play in a more unstable East Ostara.

Campaign Plot
-In the recent years, political tensions and instability has increased in Hoinom, with several ethnic armed group appearing in distant provinces.
-There would be likely some kind of drought or flood in Hoinom, the government will manage it badly and thousands and thousands will likely die.
-Things turn bad.
-Meanwhile, there are important political changes in Tieguo.
-There is some kind of revolt, further violence and chaos.
-Tensions between Hoinom and Tieguo will increase.
-It is likely to turn into a military conflict between Hoinom government and no-state actors.
-Tieguo will intervene more actively at some point.
-Others may be involved. Tieguo will try to impose its interests in the country, creating friendly states in the nearby region.

Hoinom factions will be:
-The Empress’ clique (Takahito may die, though)
-Current ultra-conservative government.
-Hoinomese Armed Forces and more reactionary groups.
-Ethnic armed groups in Hoinom (Bhmer and Nhmong)
-Hoinomese socialists and communists
-Hoinomese nationalists

Potential for Other Player Involvement
Anyone in East Ostara (or anywhere) who is interested I guess.
Some volunteers could play with some Hoinom factions (or minor characters), if they wish.

How your country may evolve from success
If we understand succes as return to the status quo (Hoinom won’t expand its borders)  there won’t be big changes regionally but Hôinôm will likely experience important political changes, either becoming more democratic-like or more authoritarian. And Tieguo will go back to sleep a guess.

How your country may evolve from defeat
If Hoinom is defeated and Tieguo achieves at least part of its objectives, the East Ostara will be likely involved in some kind of regional mess for a decade or so, turning Hoinom in some kind of frozen conflict. And I may keep playing with Tieguo, if the dear Directorate allows it (or if I don't run out of ideas again).

You may RP Tieguo, and don't forget to start an OOC thread.
