Dawn of Russians

OOC: If we are outvoted I really dont want to go through a civil war. I had enough of that in the America thread.

We need: Courthouses, markets, grocers, banks and the like in all our buildings. And time for dem cottages
 
Yay! One more no!
 
Wow, my PM worked. Thanks Tigranes!
 
OOC: 1 - There is always another way to fix a problem. Having a constitutional monarch is not going to ruin our economy

2 - On the Gaming Politics of Roleplayer - Metagamer, I lean hard to the left towards Roleplayer. A RL leader wouldn't have a giant sheet of stats saying this Government causes this and that. He would take a political action that might lead to ruin or glory.

Agreed :D I'm in it to be it.

I won't make any civil war of this style. Anarchy periods last already about 4 to 5 years, so they represent civil wars well.

Why are we having elections?? The referendum isn't over!
Duma will exist in either case and we need parties to participate in Duma elections.

I won't use worldbuilder. Monarchy will slow down development by at least 50%. I hope you included this information in the PMs you sent.

3 hours left aproximately.

I won't use worldbuilder.
Dude, do you think I'm a cheater or something?! All I said was that there are other ways to fix problems and somehow you came to the absurd conclusion that I meant you should cheat! I'm highly offended! :gripe:
 
Long live the tsar!
 
Long live the Tsar! Looks like I don't have to use the Exile speech I made when the vote was tied.
 
Satisfied with his victory, Alexios passed away peacefully in the Spring of 1787. His Great-grandson, Manuel, has succeeded him.

I prefer too a clear result. What would happen in case there was a tie? President Lvov might had asserted his "presidentail authority" to "decide" the result, leading Duma and Russia into chaos. I would never accept that of course. We avoided the worst scenario, anarchy.

Satisfied with his victory, Alexios passed away peacefully in the Spring of 1787. His Great-grandson, Manuel, has succeeded him.

Excelent man. He leaded the least popular faction to victory. Well done.

EDIT, OCC: Nikolas II allowd the function of Duma, but this scenario is de-facto completely alt-hist. Please form parties, I will give you options if needed, but I prefer you to create and maintain the parties. After all it's the only way to participate from now on.
 

Republican revolution is one of the most complex and turbulent periods of Russian history. Catherine retired from the throne in 1786, letting the formation of Duma and giving power to the Russian republic.


However, most grafs reacted violently on this retirement. Alexander and Nikolas II claimed the throne. Alexander wanted to destroy Duma, while Nikolas supported it. Russia split in three parts. Russian Republic controlled Sankt-Peterburg and Moskva. South Russia supported Nikolas II, while the rest grafs supported Alexander. Graf of Kiev tried to stay neutral.

In 1790AD pro-Duma forces decided to unite against Alexander and conquered his territories. Duma decided to conduct a referendum on monarchy. The referendum decided to keep monarchy, so Nikolas was crowned tsar. Nikolas in cooperation with Duma wrote the first Russian constitution and signed it.


Kingdom of two Sicilies redeclared its indepedence from france. France was unstable too. However, Russia was at peace with everyone, while France was at war with the powerful Germans.


Vietnam requested the protection of Germany. Now Russia was landlocked between two German territories.


The world was at war. Germans and their allies fought France and their vassals. Mughals were at war with Britain and Iran.


King of two Sicilies declared war on Russia. He wanted to "liberate Italy"! Roman battalions were laughing at this statement, but it had been ordered not to annex more territories by Catherine.


Derbendians took advantage of the civil war and conducted their own revolution. they failed.


Although all factions agreed to separate church and state the patriarchate of Mukden continued to create administrations under orthodoxy in Alaska.


Nikolas not only accepted the secularist movement, he adopted it. He ordered Ivan Starov to build a religious monument in Constantinopel as magnificent as hagia Sopphia. He hpoed the Blue Mosque in Constantinopel would mean the end of religious conflicts in Russia once and for all.


Constantinopelians were pleased with this movement.


In 1792 elections were announced. However, participation was still too low.
