Imposing a Government in the Middle East.

O.K there's no decent threads in here anymore, so I left for a bit, but I'm going to see if there's life here yet.

This is the situation, it's the aftermath of the middle east, there are areas where there is no democracy/government. You and 10 friends/comrades/associates/minions have a budget of 2 million USD. Your objective is to set up a profitable, secure and working government in either barren or hostile territory. You have to be realistic and bear in mind that Russia/America may help/attack you due to oil, firearms and if you set up a government more communist or democratic. There is no working money system in the middle east, you have to buy your shit on the black market or travel over to Europe. Oh to add that fact, you're infidel scum, the Arabs hate you, the Persians hate you, the Jews hate you.

I don't think they will just hand over the shit, and i probably should of been more specific, like setting it up. Also, we're not living in happygowirly land, people hate, are intolerable etc. What I'd do is only accept people into the community who are extremely intelligent/knowledgable. world will get round that it's a good scientific community and it should thrive.

I'd set up three houses, each with living quarters and seperate purposes, one would be a storage facility, which shall store weapons, ammunition and oil, another will be a mix between a lab and a 3 bedroomed hospital (for the moment), the last house will be storage for food and more of a communal house. I'd wall up the immediate area, may employ 4 soldiers, one with rpg, one sniper, one private/medic and one officer/engineer. I'd get 3 of my friends to farm hemp, tobacco and other spices, which shall be a viable source of income, 3 others will work on food so we can become self-sufficient. 2 others shal work in the lab and as butchers/cooks. The last 2 shall work on governing/foreign affiars, basically the more political aspect of keeping everything a-okay and employing foreigners.

That's the first stage, then i would set up a simple militia with an APC and i will sell off certain things, try and govern surrounding area, expand and make deals with both USA and Russia behind each others backs. I would make sure everything is extremly sufficient so I can thrive and become an example, lots of fed up russian citizens may join.
