If I was an extra dimensional traveler, I wouldn't pick anybody.
I'd just grab a starship and hold cities hostage or something like that. Earth isn't really that defended from Multiversal threats.

Only if they can get past your shields with a virtual version of the common cold.

I'd pick Spain. Call the army the "Inquisition". Go straight for Portugal, stop for 20 years, then go for France.
Nobody would suspect a thing.

Any starship worth the name can take whatever shit modern Earth would throw at it. Our big stuff might be capable of penetrating the hull, but nothing would be able to scratch the Deflecter Shields. And if it did do any damage to the shields, you start shooting at the planet.

S-someone else who's a fan of the X series?
Where have you been?! =P
@~hypothetical invasion~:
China probably isn't that great a choice - for one thing, it is just as reliant on imports as others are on its' exports. Secondly, it lacks a blue-water navy (though it is developing one) - it possesses only one carrier (converted from an aging Russian design, natch), making any seaborne movement of forces dangerous. Thirdly, it has another large nuclear state on its' doorstep - Russia - which could deploy its' nuclear weapons in a tactical role, which would invalidate any human wave tactics (not to mention the difficulties caused to any Chinese war effort if such devices were used in a strategic role). It may also make use of the chemical weapon stockpiles that have not been destroyed yet. It is difficult to comment on the PRC's air forces. Finally, any landborne invasion would be dogged by a long (and vulnerable) supply chain that could be disrupted.
Of course, any nation would be unable to conquer the world, possibly even with assistance, considering both the logistical and military issues. But this line of conversation isn't going anywhere fast.
@civilians:
Nope, I'm pretty sure it's wiser to put them in safe places.
Writing up a post soon.

If anything it'd have to be multiple nations banding together to rule the world.

And gotta do something to the nukes beforehand unless they asplode everything when you start.

Tech to deactivate the nukes. Human wave tactics, go. Hey, if you had China's first action be 'GO NORTH', you'd probably be in a scary position for everyone else. :3

It doesn't invalidate my other points. You also can't very well "deactivate" chemical weapons, and binary versions can bypass gas masks. Secondly, ballistic missiles use MIRVs and decoys, which would overwhelm even modern active defence systems. Missile silos are also hardened, and it would be too difficult to detect SLBMs.
But I will leave it here - it has little to nothing to do with the RP.

Or, y'know, hit them hard with your fast rollerbladin' mechs. It worked for those British people.

Who said modern tech? We're an extradimensional force picking a country to go conquer the earth with. XD
Nah, if you can get them, get the Knightmare Frames from the end of the series.

Meh, world conquest is just a goal for power hungry madmen anyways. The kind of people who don't realise how much hassle running everything would be. Honestly, it's far more trouble than it's worth.
Just blow it to bits and be done with it! ^___^

Or use Damocles and threaten to obliterate everyone from an orbital sphere-of-doom platform.

I'll be posting a wander in, in about an hour. Hopefully I'm not a complete failure, no pressure.

Vita really needs someone to calm her down, or else she's probably going to rush off and get lost.
Or possibly find them and beat them up, but since they might have mecha now that's not entirely as safe as it was.

Have Vita steal their mecha.
There is no way this can go horribly wrong. >.>

Pffft.
That would probably end with Vita demolishing the mecha accidentally somehow.
Because Vita would be a terrible pilot.

Again, Vyce Frontiers might lack mecha and will just have guns that envy TSAB's magic.

Hey, Strigon? Mind if I ask why Murray's attack was ignored for days, but it took ten minutes to post a response to Kuuga?

Due to someone's request, I decided not to bring in Kuuga and edited the post. I request you guys do the same.

Well, we can just say his battery ran down, so don't worry about it, Stri.

Arrgh damn my overreaction Sorry for making a scene. I think I could make it work with or without Godai. Though I'm on phone now so no big posting yet.
