We could combine the two?

Something happened in the nation whose land this was originally (blue). Could be a civil war (reds???) or some other tragedy that drastically weakened and destabilized it.

Then one nation (grey) invades to take advantage of the resources because of the weakened state of the nation, and another nation (green) intervenes in order to protect blue's sovereignty.

You've got ideology leading the greens in, resources leading the greys in, their own land is why the blues are there, and the reds are there for a similar reason to the blues.

But isn't that making the Greys the bad guys?, maybe the Greys wanted to bring stability to the country of the Blues by annexing, yet the Greens saw this as an agression to the sovereignety of the Blues, and decided to intervene.
Maybe there could be a Blue faction that sprung up and wants the Greys out because they want to take away the independence of the nation and will also drive the Greens away, because they'd be too indebted with them after the end of the war.

Wow, all those colors are reminding me of Army Men

I think both nations should be good or evil. The scenario I like the best is some sort of catastrophe happening in one country (Blue as said above?) and Green and Grey taking advantage of the situation and invading, not knowing their rivals did the same; deep in Blue territory, they meet each another, but it's already too late to withdraw..

No, it's doesn't really make the Greys evil, it makes them a rapidly growing society that is all too quickly coming to the point where the resources they have won't support their own population.

The Blues, the ruling majority faction of their nation, are having difficulties supporting their population, because of the same reason as the Grey's are, so they are forcing rationing upon their people, afraid of civil unrest, they begin ramping up their military and police spending.

The Reds, the conglomerate of minority factions within the same nation as the Blues, feel this increase of control is oppressive, and revolt.

The Grey's see what happens between the Blues and the Reds, and take it as a sign of what is to come if they don't get their acts together. They invade the collapsed Blue nation, and begin taking what they need for survival.

The Greens, being opposed to the ideologies of the Grey's, invade Blue/Red to halt what they see as imperialism on the part of the Grey's.

The Blue's, fearing Green is supporting the Reds, begin attacking Green forces. They are also attacked though by the Grey's, who see them as a threat to their occupation

The Reds, fearing that the Grey's and Greens are going to take control of the nation, and oppress them just as they believe the Blues had, attack the invaders.

No one's really evil, and everyone's is quite at fault for what is happening their, which nation is the best is really just a matter of perspective.

Alright, that seems like a pretty good idea to me, we got a reason for the war and the start of it, next comes what happens in the game I guess.

Ill just leave this here.

HHHOOOO-AAAAAHHHHHH

I think this idea is great! Good job!

Although, personally I think the Blues need to fleshed out a bit now. Gameplay already contains everything thats going to happen, so we don't need to work on that.

I think the Blues should be a Imperialistic Nation, having conquered much before in older times. However, the Blues began to see some error in their expansionist ways, and began to work towards more Liberal and Peaceful manners of dealing with things. But, they stil refused to release any nations they had conquered years ago. One nation, known as the Reds due to a lot of their culture and history being erased when the far more aggressive Blues came in for them, was enraged at this. Blue eventually fell into a Depression, and many suffered. However, the Reds, due to living in a generally worse state then the Blues, thought this was a ploy to futher send them into poverty, took to protests. The Blues not having any other way to react, had to break out military force. One thing led to another, and a full blown civil war started.

This is my idea, any other suggestions or changes to this are welcome!

It's glorious.

Just a little revision:
Instead of an accusation of conspiracy, it's just discontent amongst the Red population, that turns into riots because of the drop in quality of living from the depression.

Yes, that sounds quite good! I think we should wait to see what others think first.
