Player Events

 * Boer Free State: Massive popular underground movements begin operation, their purpose is to overthrow the imperialist government, and too make a free nation, a secular non-imperialist one They begin assassinating leaders, they also blow up the government buildings.
 * What does that even mean?
 * I don't think you even have an imperialist government. ~Edgemod
 * No, no, they view the government as imperialist but it isn't.
 * Japan: Mil and eco. Tokyo is capital. The army consists of 150,000 men currently, and laws are passed to increase that number.
 * The United States of America: The United States begins a massive naval expansion program, seeking to convert the current Green-Water Navy into a "Great White Fleet". Theodore Roosevelt remains incumbent in office, and continues his process of  "Gun Barrel Diplomacy" in the Americas. Nations such as Brazil and Colombia are watched closely, fearing that they could rise to oppose the United States. The Navy orders two new Dreadnoughts for the Pacific fleet and three for the Atlantic, bringing the total number of Dreadnoughts up to six in the Pacific and nine in the Atlantic. Three destroyers are also ordered. The land based military stands at a modest 200,000 men, not including 50,000 marines. Low level violence against Native Americans continues, though many have been wiped out. Industry continues to be developed in the East, mostly New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Michigan. The spread of industry is limited in the south and west, though the California area looks to become a promising center of industry. Farming continues in the South and the West. Northern California and the Great Plains grow the majority of the nations food. Naval bases and Shipyards are developed in Cuba and California. Railroad expansion continues as well. the state of Texas rebuilds following the hurricane. (MILITARY TURN)
 * Philippines: The territory under control of the US, is placed under military occupation. An additional force of 10,000 Marines are sent in to stabilize the territory. Combined with an active military force of 40,000, the US seeks to reclaim Manila. (Eco turn)
 * Puerto Rico: The Territory is firmly under US grasp. Much like the Philippines, Literacy and health improve in the territory. The US continues to use the island as a strategic location, serving as a useful base in the Atlantic. Industry is improved as well. A small military force of 10,000 remains active on the island (Industry Turn)
 * American Pacific: The sparsely populated territory continues to grow under the US. The Area serves as a strategic location for the US military and economic presence in the Pacific. They serve as a refueling station for the American Navy. A military presence of 5000 men remains in the area, (Infrastructure Turn)
 * Republic of Hawaii (Protectorate of the US): The small nation remains under military occupation by the US. Pro-US Sentiment is currently high. Shipyards and naval bases are constructed. (MILITARY TURN).
 * China: After years of being under the control of other nations, with The Middle Kingdom falling piece by the day, The Yellow Phoenix movement launches a coup against the emperor. The coup works, and China is now on the path to greatness. High Marshal Gang is named the leader of China, and he requests an alliance with Japan, to form the Pan-Asia Alliance, as a means of liberating Asia from the European invaders. We state our support for the Filipino Rebels. We begin recruiting men for the military, and build railways to link China together. We begin planning the conquest of Tibet.


 * ​ You should probably deal with the foreign occupations first
 * Italy: The country is shocked and in morning after the assassination of King Umberto I, and King Emmanuel III ascends to the throne. Some of the king's first edicts are implemented to help bridge the income disparity between Northern and Southern Italy, mainly by creating centers of industry in Sicily, improving infrastructure and education, and adding a new progressive tax bracket. The navy is built up considerably and the new king tries to rally Italian nationalists to help boost the military, which proves moderately succesful.
 * Libya: Further policies are implemented to attract Italian migrants, and many Italian language schools begin opening up in major cities, such as Tunis, Tobruk and Tripoli. Plans begin to be made to reconstruct much of Leptis Magna and artificially recreate the city, but due to the costs and complexities of the project it still just remains in planning. Many orchards are created to try to stimulate economic growth and the search for oil begins.
 * Somalia: Policies are implemented to try to bring more Ethiopian Christians into the West of the country, while also bringing in Italians on the East Coast. Several military ports are built and a large railway project begins to undergo construction. An Italian-speaking university is built.
 * Djibouti: Italian immigration is encouraged, and it proves more successful than in Somalia. The region becomes a gambling hub for rich Europeans and Middle-Easterners, thus attracting a fruitful amount of business and income. An Italian-speaking unviersity is built.
 * Ethiopia: Ethiopians enjoy a level of autonomy, including ther own gendarmaries. Farming is encouraged so that it can then be exported to other parts of the Empire; these crops are mainly food crops. Many rich Ethiopians begin buying land in West Somalia. Several Amharic and Italian speaking universities are built.
 * Gujarat: The government continues a policy favoring Muslims over Hindus, in order to divide and appease. Cash crops are grown intensively, mainly cotton. Several military ports are built and the region is reinforced with more Italian gendarmarie, as well as other colonial battalions from Africa, which are mainly made up of Muslims.
 * Italian Diplomacy: We seek closer relations with Spain and Germany.
 * Sikh Empire: Maharaja Balarama Singh continues to be the Maharaja (High King) of the Sikh Empire, aided by Wazir Kanishka Chaudhuri. The nations' geographical region next to the Himalaya mountains means that mining is a large industry in the Northern regions. We try to establish trade with Afghanistan. Maharaja Balarama Singh in a speech says that the Wazir will no longer be appointed by the Maharaja but will be democratically elected, and a Parliament is established, it is called the Sasada, after the Punjabi word for 'Parliament', this means an vert important step for Democracy in the Sikh Empire. Farms are build near rivers which boosts the economy, and more Sikh, Jain, and Hindu temples are built in major cities like Lahore.
 * Your military is crap, you can't control Afghanistan nor Afghani Sikhs, and keep in mind that Afghanistan's sovereignty was generally in Britain's interest at this time.
 * Well then you should cross out "After massive tensions with Afghanistan" because it does not make sense with the meaning "After massive tensions with Afghanistan,. Maharaja" because it is not a meaning. Also in response to 'you can't control Afghanistan' then why was this not crossed out in Almost 2: "Britannia: we improve the military and economy. Military training exercises are requested with Germany, Japan and Scandinavia. To commemorate the succession of Pope Pius X to the Papal throne a wish for a royal mass is sent to all Catholic nations. As a present to the king he has bought ten airplanes. The people of Britannia mourn with Serbia. A French man Louis Nasre has been captured after stealing various items from the homes of nobles and is to be put to death does France vouch for him?". See that last part?.
 * Russian Empire: We continue to build up our military, with currently numbers 1,200,000 men, with about 200,000 of them on active duty. by next year, we expect to add at least 80,000 men, as well as tank support. in order to upgrade our navy, we begin construction on several battleships and destroyers, due to be completed in 1902. Our economy continues to improve noticeably, with thousands of jobs created by our growing railroad industry.  Wanting to improve relations with other nations, We offer an alliance with the United States of America, and a Non-aggression pact with Japan. 
 * Colombia: Colombian Government looks for a change of neutrality. Meanwhile, the buildings is set to be built up in Bogota. Army is well restricted and troops in work. The industry and economy will prove. The talks in building a museum will decide the Government for option.
 * France builds its economy and military.
 * German Empire: We scream with excitement as the first Zeppelin cruises over the country with great honor. We invest in this and begin future productions as well as creating more of these. We request an alliance with Spain, Italy, Austria-Hungary, and Sweden. We hope to improve trade relations with the USA and France. (Mil. Turn) We build up military and now have an entire army of three million due to rapid expansion. Wilhelm II improves education and industry laws. The infrastructure as a whole is great and we are leading in technological advances. We look into lethal gases to create for our military and develop new armoured cars.
 * Southwest Africa: Mining is the main focus of the colony and we become very rich due to this.
 * South Central Africa: Now serving as an African military state, German South Central Africa carries out operations and military training as well as a resource mining area.
 * Tanzania: Economy Improves. The governing power rules with well established methods to keep the colony successful and without disagreement.
 * Gabon: Jungles are becoming a problem for getting resources and transportation as well as disease of animals in the jungles spreading to the people. German immigration here halts a great lot.
 * Asia and Oceania territories: Eco. improves.
 * The population of Germany in 1900 was 56 million. There's no way in hell that 5% of your population is in the military.
 * ​Italian Diplomacy: We accept the alliance offer.
 * Austria-Hungarian Diplomacy: We decline due to tensions with Italy.
 * Siam: Siam builds up its military and improves infrastructure. More Buddhist temples are built.
 * Austria-Hungary: We continue to build up our military, hopefully recruiting more as the year progresses. We begin construction on a few battleships. Our economy continues to improve noticeably, with thousands of jobs created by our growing railroad industry. Wanting to improve relations with other nations. We try to start to ease tensions with all the ethnic groups of the empire. Slowly but surely, we improve the Austria-Hungarian economy at a slow rate.

I don't think the last sentence works, you cant control other nations like that. If im wrong, another mod can retcon this Minor disputes, I do mean.
 * Siam: Siam builds up its military and improves infrastructure. More Buddhist temples are built. 
 * China, led by High Marshal Gang, proposes the formation of the Pan-Asia Alliance between ourselves, Japan and Siam, so as to defend against foreign aggressors. We announce that we will form an alliance with the first European nation to give up their Chinese possessions to us. Military build up continues, with troops being trained by the day, with the ultimate goal of creating an army of over 500,000 men. We request a trade agreement with the USA, Britain and France.\
 * Russian Empire: so far our efforts to build up our military have been successful, with about 120,000 men joining, 40,000 more than planned. We continue to work on our ships, ordering six more destroyers, in addition to what has already been planned. New Weapons are developed, notably the GTZ-25 bolt action rifle. Jobs in the railroad industry are continually expanding, with nearly 3,500 miles of railroad added, mostly in western Russia. Wanting to improve our international relations, we ask for an alliance with Italy, and a non-aggression pact with Japan and Siam.
 * ​Italian Diplomacy: We would agree only to a defensive alliance.
 * Japanese Dip: Accepted.
 * Siamese Diplomacy: Siam accepts the Russian offer of a non-aggression pact.
 * Japanese Dip: We offer Russia to join us in the invasion of China.
 * The United States of America: The United States begins a massive naval expansion program, seeking to convert the current Green-Water Navy into a "Great White Fleet". Theodore Roosevelt remains incumbent in office, and continues his process of  "Gun Barrel Diplomacy" in the Americas. Nations such as Brazil and Colombia are watched closely, fearing that they could rise to oppose the United States. The Navy orders two new dreadnoughts for the Pacific fleet and three for the Atlantic, bringing the total number of Dreadnoughts up to six in the Pacific and 9 in the Atlantic. Three destroyers are also ordered. The land based military stands at a modest 200,000 men, not including 50,000 marines. Low level violence against Native Americans continues, though many have been wiped out. Industry continues to be developed in the East, mostly New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Michigan. The spread of industry is limited in the south and west, though the California area looks to become a promising center of industry. Farming continues in the South and the West. Northern California and the Great Plains grow the majority of the nations food. Naval bases and Shipyards are developed in Cuba and California. Railroad expansion continues as well. the state of Texas rebuilds following the hurricane. The Federal government remains inactive during the Panic, allowing it to resolve itself. Relations with China are cut following the collapse of the old government and support of the Filipino rebels. (Eco TURN)
 * Philippines: The US pushes into the Philippines. (Military turn)
 * Puerto Rico: The Territory is firmly under US grasp. Much like the Philippines, Literacy and health improve in the territory. The US continues to use the island as a strategic location, serving as a useful base in the Atlantic. Industry is improved as well. A small military force of 10,000 remains active on the island. (InfraTurn)
 * American Pacific: The sparsely populated territory continues to grow under the US. The Area serves as a strategic location for the US military and economic presence in the Pacific. The area serves as a refueling station for the American Navy. A military presence of 5000 men remains in the area. (Military Turn)
 * Republic of Hawaii (Protectorate of the US): The small nation remains under military occupation by the US. Pro-US Sentiment is currently high. Shipyards and naval bases are constructed. (Economy TURN)
 * Italy: Diffusion of wealth continues, which results in popular support for the king, mainly among the Southerners and the poor. Centers of industry are upgraded and corporate taxes are lowered, but the minimum wage is raised, this results in stable rates of labor and higher standard of living. Salaries for members of the navy and army are increased marginally to increase enrollment. The military focuses mainly on building up the navy, and ship construction is set at an annual of two dreadnoughts, three destroyers, and three cruisers. Construction also begins of a large defensive line in the north of the country, right where the peninsula begins, the belief being that as long as that line is held a land invasion of Italy proper would be impossible. We begin looking into the mildly-successful Zeppelin flying ships.
 * Libya: Italianization of the Libyan peopel continues. The government institutes a new policy in the south, granting more autonomy to the Berber people, further simplifying administration and appeasing the minority. Several factories open as King Emmanuel plans to incorporate Libya into a contributing de jure part of Italy.
 * Somalia: Christianization continues and the Somali people begin being squeezed from the East by Italians and from the West by Ethiopian Christians. Acquisition of Somali land  becomes systematic, but insentives are made for Somalis to either work or migrate to Gujarat or become colonial marines. Military installments are built along the coast and a top-of the-line industrial drydock begins being built in Mogadishu. The Trans-Abyssinian Railroad begins connecting to pre-built railways.
 * Djibouti: Italians continue to move to the colony at a higher rate than any other colony south or east of Libya, mainly being members of the upper class. The economy continues to be developed based off of shipping, gambling, and banking. Construction of the Trans-Abyssinian Railroad begins.
 * Ethiopia: The amount of colonial soldiers Ethiopia must contribute is increased. The Italian government gifts the protectorate with a trans-Abyssinian Railroad, which is planned to connect all of the Italian Horn of Africa, and construction begins Addis Adaba to the spider-web out. Incentives continue to be given for Christians to move to Somalia.
 * Gujarat: Cash crops continue to be grown for a very large profit, especially now that it's aided with more cheap labor from Somalia.  Several military installments are built inland and on the coast.
 * Italian Diplomacy: We ask that our German allies share their research regarding Zeppelins.
 * German Dip: We agree to share research. We also ask the Netherlands for their Central American colony in return for eight million pounds.  ' 
 * ​Netherlands (MOD): We decline
 * Austria-Hungary: We continue to build up our military, hopefully recruiting more as the year progresses. We begin construction on a few battleships. Our economy continues to improve noticably, with thousands of jobs created by our growing railroad industry. Wanting to improve relations with other nations. We try to start to ease tensions with all the ethnic groups of the empire. Slowly but surely, we improve the Austria-Hungarian economy at a slow rate. Tensions spark with Germany over the ownership of several lands bordering Austria-Hungary, igniting a neglectable border conflict.
 * It's fine. Border disputes can be started by either side.
 * Thanks dax, i will remember that


 *  British Empire:'  We improve our railroad industry and military technology. With our military population at ten million we start massing 500,000 troops on the Eygptian-Afghanastan Border. '   We also set-up the state of Pacific for Australia, New Zealand and its near neighbours. We offer an alliance with the United States. We increase our presence in the Middle-East. We also try a new incentive of moving Europeans to Australia. We also deploy one million troops to Australia and New Zealand to enforce the law. 50,000 of those troops are going to be taught Aborigine and Maori to help improve relations with the local tribes. We offer a free-trade deal with Germany as well.
 * ​One does not simply have a peacetime standing army of ten-million.
 * One does not simply amass half-a-million troops a misspelled non-existent border.
 * Aborigine is not a language. Also, the vast, vast majority of aborigines are dead.
 * Chinese Dip: China would like the return of the Yangtze valley.
 * Sikh Empire diplomacy: We offer China our new Congreve Rockets, Volley guns and massive trade in secret.
 * China accepts the offer.

Wait,    where did you get that much weaponry?

I developed and bought them from other ones

Not only do only have almost no manufacturing ability, but I think China has far more of this primitive guns than you at this point. '
 * S ikh Empire: Trade continues with Afghanistan. We try to decrease European influence on Asia, as we want to remain independent. We also try to find an alternative to factories. Maharaja Balarama Singh dies, and his son, Pundarik Singh becomes the new Maharaja, he orders more temples to be built in Lahore and other cities . Military is improved  as most of people that are older than 16 sign up for the military, we also put research unto grenades, cannon and artillery, we also widely use cavalry . The Government also seeks closer relations and trade with other nation-states in the Indian sub-continent. More Jain, Hindu and Sikh temples are built, however, Islam is very rare in the country due to widespread Indian religions. In the south-west deserts are growing slowly, therefore the government makes 'lakes' under the deserts, and plants tree seeds over the underground lakes, therefore a green environment grows as many oasis' develop. Many Sikh scientists try to research how the 'Universe' and Earth developed. and many theories develop, one scientist, Akalsharan Mujamdar develops a theory that the beginning of the universe was when it was in a very high density rate and then expanded and that this happened 13 Billion years ago, giving birth to the universe, after that the universe cooled down and formed clouds, Akalsharan Mujamdar tries to make other scientists to support the theory and propose ideas to it, this theory is called the Big Bang Theory. We develop Heavy and Medium Congreve Rockets and Volley guns and test them. Economy is improved thanks to farms and Himalaya mining. 


 * A lot of this is just plain ridiculous.
 * Colombia: The hopes of New York Stock Exchange crashes. Meanwhile, the military starts to build up on its sensitive information on Colombian Government located in capital city Bogota. He thinks the navy is on sight, too. For his exclusive interests to gain up a territory, the rockets will be likely to be delivered . ' 
 * Japan: We invade China with 200,000 men.
 * Russian Diplomacy: In order to aid Japans' invasion of China, we attack China from the north, with 400,000 troops , and send 80 ships to attack from the south China sea, aiding our troops on land.

Guerrilla actions are mounted in the occupied areas, and a formidable defence is made around Beijing, with trenches, artillery and mines being deployed for its defence. Should it fall, Marshal Fong will assume command of China, and move the capital to Shanghai. High Marshal Gang calls upon the United States, Britain and France to honour the open door policy, and stop the fall of China. High Marshal Gang has whatever railways that are available be used to transport the troops. Before Japan can use its navy, High Marshal Gang mounts a massive counter at them, with the aim of driving them back. 150,000 are being used in the attack. Men are conscripted for the army.

' ' Japan: Japanese navy blockades Chinese coast. The land forces are pulled back, and sent to aid the Russian forces(Japanese and Russian forces now fight together, in one algo). After the recent loss general Tokohori Hiriyama is imprisoned. The loss is a setback, but we trust in the Japanese navy, as it is more advanced and stronger than the Chinese navy. The blockade of the major Chinese ports is a great help, as it hinders the Chinese. .' '

'''German Dip: We believe this entire war is BS and the invaders had no reason and are committing a terrible injustice towards Asia. Now I'm not going to get involved with any of this, but this threatens relations and is unfair to the Chinese COMPLETELY. Control of China should never occur and we would like to ask the fighting to stop. This means turning Asia into completely colonies pretty much, and the French are suppose to be a world police and war-ender. Not a greedy empire. Same with British. I can't say for the Japanese but the Russians need to stop. '''

Russian Diplomacy: In answer to the German accusations, we simply ask, why does Germany care? The war does not threaten Germany or its empire.

The spread of industry is limited in the south and west, though the California area looks to become a promising center of industry. Farming continues in the South and the West. Northern California and the Great Plains grow the majority of the nations food. Naval bases and Shipyards are developed in Cuba and California. Railroad expansion continues as well.Development aid pours into Colombia, Venezuela, and the Philippines. With the rise in Labour unions, Roosevelt begins a campaign of trust busting, in an attempt to gain popularity before next years election.

 * Philippines: Following the end of the Filipino war, the US government begins to rebuild and develop the Philippines, increasing literacy and health in the nation. Infrastrcuture is also developed, with more roads being built. (Mil Turn)
 * Puerto Rico: The Territory is firmly under US grasp. Much like the Philippines, Literacy and health improve in the territory. The US continues to use the island as a strategic location, serving as a useful base in the Atlantic. Industry is improved as well. A small military force of 10,000 remains active on the island. (Mil Turn)
 * American Pacific: The sparsely populated territory continues to grow under the US. The Area serves as a strategic location for the US military and economic presence in the Pacific. The area serves as a refueling station for the American Navy. A military presence of 5000 men remains in the area. (EcoTurn)
 * Republic of Hawaii (Protectorate of the US): The small nation remains under military occupation by the US. Pro-US Sentiment is currently high. Shipyards and naval bases are construcuted. (Mil TURN)
 * Great post and all, but could you please cut a few of the reoccurring parts out?
 * The plan was to update it every four years with the new elections.
 * Russian Empire: We continue our push into China, adding 150,000 men to the front line. This measure is successful and we continue to gain ground in China including several major cities. We continue to build rail roads, and have added about 2,000 miles to our railroad. We offer a ten year NAP to Germany provided they do not intervene in our invasion of China
 * Germany agrees to NAP.
 * France builds up its military and economy and invades China again.
 * ​Italy: Several more powers are reinstated to the aristocrats, but it ends there; the king also creates a new branch of the secret service solely to investigating nobles. after success in the expiremental penal colony in Puntland, several more are created in Somalia. A handful of penal colonies are also created in Gujarat, these being for Somali prisoners. The military focuses mainly on building up the navy, and ship construction is increased to an annual of two dreadnoughts, four destroyers, and five cruisers. A new policy is also implemented to draft criminals in time of war. More testing goes into Zeppelins as research into conventional use may be drawing to an end; to hide the tests from other Europeans we create the test sites in Ethiopia.
 * Italian Secret Diplomacy: We suggest an idea to Great Britain, being that Italy and Britain split French East Africa, with Eritrea going to Great Britain and Somaliland going to Italy. We also offer an alliance. We also begin to arm and spread infuence over coastal South African tribedoms.
 * Siam: Siam builds up its military and improves infrastructure. More Buddhist temples are built. A few new harbours continue construction.
 * Austria-Hungary: We continue to build up our military, hopefully recruiting more as the year progresses. We begin construction on a few battleships. Our economy continues to improve noticably, with thousands of jobs created by our growing railroad industry. Wanting to improve relations with other nations. We try to start to ease tensions with all the ethnic groups of the empire. Slowly but surely, we improve the Austria-Hungarian economy at a slow rate. Tensions start to lessen, but alas, continue with Germany over the ownership of several lands bordering Austria-Hungary, resulting in a neglectable border conflict with the Reich.
 * Brazil: We condemn French, Russian and Japanese aggression. We begin influencing Guyana, and many begin to feel that Brazil should reclaim its stolen lands. We request an alliance with the USA. Military development begins, as we try to modenrize our great country. We currently have a standing army of about 130,000 men, and are building artillery pieces as well. We ask Argentina for an alliance, and secretly propose a plan to divide up Bolivia. (Mod response) 
 * ​Argentina: Accepts
 * No. You have no reason to condemn them like that. And also, as a relitivly weak nation, you can not influence a state that is a completely different culture.
 * Yeah, the condemning is extremely meta.
 * Colombia: We thank the US Government for the development aid that this will take a better version of military and economy to help. The Government of Columbia is impressed with it, will make Bogota much bigger into it.
 * The US offers to sell an outdated Dreadnaught to the Colombian Navy.
 * Colombian Diplomacy: We accept the offer for an outdated Dreadnaught to our Colombian Navy.
 * Norway: begins developing and modernizing the military. We begin a naval expansion program to bring our navy up to speed on the current world. Concerned over French control of Southern China, as it has given them more influence in the East Asia, and more power in the world overall, we secretly request an alliance with Germany, and ask for a NAP with Britain. The army currently stands at about 130,000 men. We request to establish a trade agreement with the US concerning our oil.
 * Iceland: naval bases are constructed on Iceland.
 * Greenland: plan are made to make a new port on Greenland.
 * Yeah no. You have no reason to even care about Asia
 * You misunderstand. I am not concerned about Asia, I am concerned about how strong France is now. 
 * That's about okay then. I still recommend you change the wording a little though. 
 * Italian D: We offer a trade deal and an alliance to Norway.
 * Japan: Japan makes a full push to Tianjin, using the navy to blockade the city and using the full force of 250,000 to capture it.
 * German Empire: We try to improve relations to ensure and continue our alliances w/ Italy and Britain.  The new generation of college graduates puts a kickstart into the economy as useful education methods succeed and continue. We ask the Russians to trade goods. We manufacture a new standard german arms collection for each soldier. We finish creating deadly poison gases and begin production. Our military scientists now look into fully-automatic weaponry for frequent use in our military. We call for a secret military meeting with Italy in Berlin. We also let Austria-Hungary know to please stop. We would like to still keep the same borders without annoying disputes every year. We do try to ease this. We build up military now standing at one million. We declare war on the sovereign state of Poland. We begin a full scale invasion of the puny country. With 75,000 troops, 1000 cavalry, and 500 artillery, in the south we invade Lublin and Cracow. The north and central Polish area is invaded with a main force of 200,000 troops, 1500 cavalry, and 700 artillery which we use to invade Warsaw. With artilleries booming on the buildings, horseman riding up with great speed, men from many directions, and a fair amount of armored vehicles, Warsaw and Poland altogether is doomed. To up the battle force, we drop small bombs into the streets below from hot air balloons to scare citizens away to avoid too much death. 
 * To many troops, I'm pretty sure this is implausible.
 * Russian Dip: we agree with the trade deal from Germany.


 * Austria-Hungary: We continue to build up our military, hopefully recruiting more as the year progresses. We begin construction on a few battleships. Our economy continues to improve noticably, with thousands of jobs created by our growing railroad industry. Wanting to improve relations with other nations. We try to start to ease tensions with all the ethnic groups of the empire. Slowly but surely, we improve the Austria-Hungarian economy at a slow rate. Tensions start to lessen, but alas, continue with Germany over the ownership of several lands bordering Austria-Hungary, resulting in a neglectable border conflict with the Reich. As the German invasion of Poland begins, Austria accuses the Reich of unneeded aggression and will declare war on the German Empire in the defence of Poland.

​Americas
 * <span style="color:rgb(37,37,37);font-family:sans-serif;line-height:22.3999996185303px;">Pentecostalism continues to spread qucikly. Many protests are held accusing the government on violating First Amendment Rights. A police office is lynched, and there are no definite leads, but it is believed to be due to Christian sectarian violence regarding Pentecostles.
 * <span style="color:rgb(37,37,37);font-family:sans-serif;line-height:22.3999996185303px;">Alright, what is this event leading to? I can find no OTL precedence for this event, no mention of violent secesion in OTL, yet in this game it seems Pentecostals hate the US. Furthermore, searching for sectarian violence between Christans and Pentecostals led me to Latin America and India, not the US. If you want to argue that somehow violating the first amendment of minorities leod to "many protests" in the US, then look to the crackdown on communism in the US. If this is leading to a secessionist movement then I am calling this out as completely implausable. No widespread, religous based separatist movement could have made grounds during this time. Even the Mormons, who where centered in Utah had a brief flirt with indpedndence that failed without any major battles. 

just because their rights aren't actually being violated doesn't mean they don't perceive them as violated. The rest I agree with, though. ~fires
 * Going farther, I am not violating their first amendment rights, I am stopping a group that promotes violence against the US. The perivious event claimed that "some" more radical preachers promoted secession. That is what they are being cracked down on against. Not religion. So I guess I sorta am, but at the same time the way the event arc was going seems to have put me in a corner. No other secesionist groups, barring the aforementioned Mormons and the Confederates, had/have much support, yet the way this event arc was going implied that I would be facing a violent uprsing in the future.

We send out several expeditions, hoping to find enough oil to reduce dependency on forignimpeortds.

Norway: Having pushed deep into Denmark, we begin establishing supply lines, and begin ferrying more troops to the front lines. With the entry of Britain into the war against the Germans, we request that they aid us in taking back our African colonies from the Italians. Plans are laid to step up a free Danish Kingdom, which will be part of the Scandinavian Union, an alliance of nations with Scandinavian roots. Plans are laid to help the 300,000 British troops sent to help Poland by Taking the port of Danzig, with British aid. The goal of this attack will be to open a land route to Poland through Prussia, and hopefully aid them in driving back the Germans. 100,000 Norwegian troops will take part in the Battle of Danzig, lead by General Augustus Gustav.

Player Events
Norway: Feels that some other gains are in order. Along with our own colonies, Italy will cede Somalia to us. Its Indian possessions will be given to Britain.
 * Italy: As the war is ramped as Austria joins the fray we call and additional 250,000 servicemen from the colonies and begin furious recruitment, and we manage to bring our army up to 5.25 million soldiers. We begin a blockade of Austria in the Adriatic with our more powerful navy, deploying ten dreadnoughts, 15 destroyers, and 20 cruisers to the sea. We send the majority of our force to attack Austrian Croatia, and station a sizeable amount along the Liguria-Veneto Defensive Line to secure the majority of Italy and insure that no enemies can penetrate Italy proper. We react quickly to the devestation in Naples, and to help the displaced we offer free housing in Somalia or Libya, or a slightly costly house in Sicily.
 * Italian Colonies: All colonies lock down in a defensive position, including the ones seized from Norway. We begin a massive oil drilling operation in Libya to fuel the economy and war.
 * 'Italian Diplomacy: 'We offer a deal of separate, white peace with all other nations, of course including a complete return of Norweigen colonies. We also offer to buy American arms (I think I should get a small supply bonus in the algo). We would also like to inform the Russians''' that any intervention in the favor of Italy or its allies would be greatly appreicated should negotiations not work out.
 * mod (fires): I'm fairly sure that 5.25 million since last year is too much. Three million or so seems more reasonable, according to OTL army numbers
 * 5.25 million is within the realm of possibility, as it actually reached similar number during OTL WWI, and that was with fewer nationalistic and colonial military policies. I could probably raise seven million if I began a large draft in the case of a major invasion of Italy, including colonials.
 * Guys, Note how Dax is being smart and forming defensive postions. ~Edge


 * Italian Diplomacy: LOL, no. We'll compensate you financially for some of the damages caused in the colonies and all spent ammunition, but will cede nothing.

Russian Empire: We continue neutrality in the Great War in Europe, however, because of our alliance with Norway, we fell obloged to offer them ssupplys to assitt with the war effort. Fearing german intervention, we have rapidly built up our military, and it now numbers almost two million men. almost 500,000 of these new soldiers take stations along the European border to combat any possible attack. Our navy contiues to be built up, with the modern VIGILANT class of battle ships being introduced. We discover large amounts of oil in siberia and the parliament begins to consider efforts to start to drill this oil. Our econanamy continues to improve, with many more jobs available in the military and teh railroad industry. Colombia: Economy gains up. Military is improving, more troops at the train rooms. Development aid was much further that we needed to our base. (Sorry for short turn)
 * Siam: Siam builds up its military and improves infrastructure. More Buddhist temples are built. A few new harbours continue construction.
 * Norway: Having made sweeping gains against the Germans in Denmark, we begin plans to set up the Danish Republic. Norwegian forces begin planning to attack Hamburg, which is seen as a major port for the Germans.

Austria-Hungary: We continue to build up our military, hopefully recruiting more as the year progresses. We begin construction on a few battleships. Our economy continues to improve noticably, with thousands of jobs created by our growing railroad industry. Wanting to improve relations with other nations. We try to start to ease tensions with all the ethnic groups of the empire. Slowly but surely, we improve the Austria-Hungarian economy at a slow rate. ''' The massive war with Germany and Italy continue, we urge Russian, Dutch, Swedish, Norwegian, and French forces to join the fight against Germany.

'''Dutch: (mod response, fires) we decline, feeling that it would only harm our nation. '''

Swedish:(mod response, fires) we will join I the war next year, however, we offer supplyss and support the meantime.

'''Swedish Response (MOD): We will not join the war. In fact, armaments are sent to the Germans to help combat our Norweigen rivals (BONUS TO ALG ).'''

'''Russian Diplomacy: we politlyy refuse, as we have already stated that we will remain netrall. However, we will contribute supplyss to aid the war effort '''

Germany: We recruit three million troops, defend hamburg with 600,000 and attack Prague and northern Austria with two million and poison gas and one million to beat Norway on its west coast.

Player Events

 * Russian empire: the tsar decides that nothing can be gained by supporting either side of the great war, and withdraws support. However, man feel that russia should fight, so the tsar says he may chose a side next year. Meanwhile, Venagrov defense line begins construction. This line will strechh across the entire gorder between Russia and Europe, and will serve as a determent for any invading force. It is expected to be completed in 1910. We decide to drill oil in Siberia, and begin to start minor drilling operations, mostly as a proof of concept.
 * Norway sets up a series of defences in front of Oslo, dubbed the Oslo Line. They are mainly Trenches, minefields, and barbed wire, arrayed so that they can become a death trap for any Swedish troops so foolish as to attack. 200,000 men are currently in place to defend the line against the Swedish forces, and are backed by artillery. Icelandic and Greenlandic troops are brought in to help stem the enemy advance, bringing the total number of troops fighting for Norway at 500,000.  300,000 men are fighting in Denmark,  and a further 50,000 are being trained for war . Mass conscription is introduced. We request that the Boer Republic join the war against Italy. (Mod response) We request that that Britain send us troops to help defend against the Swedes about 300,000. A million men are drafted for the war. 400,000 will be deployed to fight the Swedes, while the rest will take part in the fight for Denmark. We begin raising Danish troops to help fight for their homeland. Their numbers are 50,000. They Navy begins a bombardment, singling the start of the Battle of Hamburg. With the Russian entire into the war on the sides of the Central Powers, we begin plans for a limited offensive against the Russians in Finland.

With the threat of a German-Swedish counter attack in Denmark, We retreat to Aalborg, with plans to make the area south of it into a death trap. 100,000 men are mounting the defense of Aalborg, and are supported by 50,000 Danish Revolutionaries, with 20,000 more being trained to help Denmark fight for its freedom.
 * ​You should look up the populations of Iceland and Greenland, and Norway too. Norway's population in 1910 war roughtly 2.5million so you literally have a double-digit percentage of your population in an invasion of foreign lands. There is no way your current European army could excede 200,000 at the moment.
 * Boer Republic (MOD): We refuse to join, we have little interest in European affairs.

 * Russian diplomacy: seeking a more diplomatic solution, the emperor offers Japan two provinces of our Chinese territory in exchange for Lapan's neutrality agenst Russia. If you accepted this deal, you could continue to attack against German Shongdong, as long as you did not attack Russia or its vassals.

One million of those troops are sent to seize German assets in North Africa. 1.2 million are sent to reinforce Norwegian troops and Polish troops. The line on the beaches of Germany are holding up and are reinforced with one million troops for the push towards Hamburg this year. We also push towards the former Polish - German Border in Poland. We also land 1.3 million troops on the beaches of Italy Sabaudia, Anzio, Fregene and Sperlonga from the shores of Marseille. We also send an URGENT plea to the United States of America asking that they join they allied side of the Great War. We also send 400,000 troops to Denmark to reinforce Norwegian troops there.' 
 * ​The British army population reached four million at its height. Also, you currently have no means of accessing the Polish-German border or the shores of Italy. Also, Germany has no assets in North Africa.
 * Yes, but in WW1 the British Empire soldiers population was 8,689,467. Look
 * 8.6 served at one time or another, that's different, and one million of those served in the Middle East. Also, you still don't have access to the Baltic of enough Mediterannean access to land in Italy.

Player Events

 * Italy: We pull back many of our troops from Austria-Hungary to begin a land invasion of Southern France.
 * Russian Empire:  we complete the vergetov line, baring our border with germany. we continue our presence in the great war, sending 100,000 aditiknall troops to austria to continue fighting there, and send 250,000 troops to open a new frount fighting Poland.'   '    '   p'  
 * 'Fix this turn, please.
 * Siam: Siam builds up its military and improves infrastructure. More Buddhist temples are built. A few new harbours finish construction.
 * Japan: We accept the Russia offer of the two provinces in exchange for neutrality against Russia(THE RUSSIA-JAPAN ALGO IS NOW LIFTED. JAPAN IS STILL AT WAR WITH GERMANY, HOWEVER). This allows us to focus on German Shandong. With an army force of 250,,,000 men, the emperor leads the army into Shandong, with the goal of taking Linyi and Jinan within two years. We also send a message to Britain, telling them that if they have troops to spare, we could use them in our invasion of Shandong.
 * East China: We help our overlords with the invasion of the Germans, and saw 100,000 troops.
 * Until I see a Russian agreement, it isn't.
 * They were the ones who offered it in the first place.
 * Norway: With 500,000 British troops now in our borders, we have them divided in half, with one-half sent to aid in the defense of Denmark, while the rest aid us in the counter-attack against Sweden. We call upon the Finns to rebel against the oppressive Russian Empire, promising them support. (Mod response) The counterattack against the Swedes opens up with a massive artillery barrage, followed by a massive infantry attack, using over 100,000 Norwegian troops, backed by the 250,000 British troops already fighting with us. We continue to research caterpiller tracks, and begin thinking of ways to use them in military warfare.
 * You don't have enough men for that.
 * Dax said my army is about 200,000 men. I divided it.
 * 200,000 is ~10% of your population. You may have had that to start but it is definitely lower now.
 * Colombia: Bogota Government said the war with Ecuador will begin in two years until more troops joining about 10,000 more and hopes the war will be possible to clear out.

Russian Diplomacy (to Japanese turn): We refuse to turn over our colonies to the Japanese Empire, as the offer was only applicable if they did not attack us.

Japanese Dip: You offered it after we invaded, so that's a really shitty excuse. We don't need the provinces, neutrality is enough


 * Austria-Hungary: We continue to build up our military, hopefully recruiting more as the year progresses. We begin construction on a few battleships. Our economy continues to improve noticably, with thousands of jobs created by our growing railroad industry . Wanting to improve relations with other nations. We try to start to ease tensions with all the ethnic groups of the empire. Slowly but surely, we improve the Austria-Hungarian economy at a slow rate . We continue the war effort, with France, Norway and the UK. We start to concentrate all our forces on Russia,
 * You're in a total war on three fronts, your economy is completely altered by the war that is consuming vast resources which you are also losing.

With Germany out of the picture, we go on the defensive. With peace made with Russia and our alliance with Russia recreated, Meiji gains more popularity among the Japanese. The new agreement about Beijing cements the relationship with the Russians. 
 * ​East China: Mil and eco. Preparations are made to annex Shandong.
 * STG: Stuff happens, Germans kicked out.

All the British troops in our borders are sent to fight the Swedes, meaning Sweden is now facing over 590,000 Allied troops, with 90,000 being Norwegian, the rest are British. We mount a defense of Oslo.
 * Not logistically possible.
 * Colombia: Plans in the army, the troops looks to set to attack Ecuador, as it's potentially confirmed by the leader of the Colombian Army. More troops doing a legacy training in the rooms. For economy, it changes frequently good. More to come.

 * Siam: Siam builds up its military and improves infrastructure. More Buddhist temples are built.
 * Norway: feeling that the war has gone on for long enough, we request that a peace conference be organized in Philadelphia to end the Great War. (Mod response for NPCS) In the meantime, the defense of Oslo continues, with more troops being slowly feed in. We propose a bold plan to knock the Russian War Machine off balance to Britain: an attack upon St. Petersburg, which, if it falls, will throw the Russians into chaos. We deploy a new weapon, a sort of war-tractor, using caterpiller tracks. It has twin machine guns, armoured plating and a crew of five. Ten of them are used in the defense of Oslo. Meanwhile, in Denmark, the 50,000 Norwegian and 50,000 Danish troops continue the defensive campaign. Our spies meet with Vladimir Lenin, and encourage him to mount a revolution, promising support for the revolutionaries in making a socialist state so long as they agree to allow Finland's independence.

 * Already started.
 * But nobody really made the proposal. 
 * Don't uncross things, FFS. You're not a mod and you don't have permission to uncross. You've done this many times before, so just learn it. Also, I made the proposal last year, only with a different name.

Russian Empire:''' We halt our offensive in Austria-Hungary and hope other nations will stop fighting as well. '''We ask all nations involved in the great war for an armistic, starting next year.. Meanwhile, our economy improves slightly, the war industry continuing to provide jobs. German Dip: We would like an armistice. Our terms are that we keep our Polish territories, let Denmark be an independent state, get NAP's with everybody, keep our colonies except for Shandong, and pay HUGE amounts of money for the war. HUGE as long as we keep our colonies and Polishland. And France, YOU ARE NOT GETTING THE RHINELAND IN YOUR TREATY. Not trying to sound too pushy but IRL Germany would never do that. Britain and France should not gain much land, other than Shandong. '''We think that this is fair, especially since we didn't intervene in China.
 * Atrocious post is atrocious.

Norway rejects all but the Denmark point of the treaty. Considering how badly Germany has done, and how much suffering they have caused by starting this war, they must pay!
