Imperium Offtopicum IV: Third's the Charm?

Taniciusfox said:

Due to related heritage - as the Marian Federation traces its roots back to Rome, totally not for propaganda purposes - the President of the Federation, in his role as head of state, would like to propose a free trade agreement with the Byzantines, who are also the only other civilized state - currently - on the Mediterranean.

As the successors of Rome and the two current states on the Mediterranean to emerge from the global anarchy, it is important that at least trading relations be established.

The coastguard is mixed in with the navy, as are police ships (many of which are needed to help patrol the busy traffic of the Baltic)

I want lime.

Lime is already taken, so I gave you a sea green.

OOC: Tanicus, there is a Greek country, you know.

IC:

President Omega was looking at some papers, nothing that serious. It seemed like just an average work day, when an aide barged into the room, screaming "PRESIDENT OMEEEEEEEEEEEGA!!!". This easily startled the president, accidentally dropping the papers, which were basic drills in case Boston was about to be air raided or nuked, any part of the alliance was going to be nuked besides Boston, invasions by Québec, invasions by the CSA, any invasions by sea, wide outbreak of a incurable, fatal disease, zombie apocalypse, alien invasion, the general. Omega quickly looked up and asked, "What"? The aide said, "We lost contact with the /entire/ alliance, execpt for Massachusetts".

This was extremely alarming to the president. "The entire Alliance?", he thought to himself in disbelief. Omega then quickly asked, "What happened"? The aide just sighed, looked down, and said "I don't know, but it must be big, like a extremely well-placed terrorist takeover". This thought almost strangled his sanity. He wasn't a Massachusetts native, oh no. He was from the state of New York. "My family...", he muttered. "My friends... my... prized video game collection". The aide then said, "Well, you brought your games and consoles with you when you were sworn in as president, but I can't help you with the others". Omega's sadness then turned into rage. "We MUST get the Massachusetts Regulars to visit every state, and find out why they suddenly went missing. We'll start with New York, but I'm going to tell Congress it's for NYC and the resulting economics".

Later, when the president gave out a speech telling everyone the states went missing, Congress immediately went into session on what to do. In a record of 5 minutes, Congress unanimously agreed to send the Massachusetts Regulars to New York, and all other states required.

  السماح للحكم العرب​

• Economy/Industry: The Arab League boasts a large tourism industry because of the traditional Hajj to Mecca. Even though our state does not enclose Mecca, many tourists seek Riyadh as a resting place. Tourism makes up the largest part of our economy, but the oil industry gives us most of our money.

• Social Policy: We will persecute any non-Muslims or anyone who promotes any non-Islamic ideas or opposes the King or questions his wishes in any way.
• Foreign Policy: Largely aggressive towards anti-Muslim states. But, if you are a liberal religious society, we will trade with you regularly.
• Army: We have a powerful, aggressive, technologically advanced army.
• Air Force: We have an uncontrollable air force. We deeply apologize if a suicide bomber attacks a large monument of yours.
• Navy: We have a small navy.

Flag to come later.

Alright, first official map update! See the front page for details.

I tweaked a few of the colours so they wouldn't be too mistakable. To keep "official" records clean, I linked each nation with the first bio page I came across so you only need to modify a single post. If I overlooked anyone, give me the link to the page. "Capital" refers to both the stated capital city and its home province (in brackets), unless no city is stated or it is its own territory.

Players may now begin expanding into other territories. I, for example, will move into the surrounding Kyiv Oblast.

The German Republic expands into the City of Berlin. Soon after, Berlin has been made into the offical capital.

I claim this province in the name of the Empire!

Nice job, Thorvald, however for my capital I put Pristina, not Kosovo. Kosovo is the name of my country.

Hey, it's my country!
But, we would like to try to quench the terrorism and organize a more stable air force.

We will try and enforce security with numerous scans for the shifty-looking. If a bomber is approaching your territory, please try to shoot him down. We will take no offense.

Okay I need a name. Alaska just wont do. I am now Alliance of Tactical Tenacious Amerites a Country Konnected (ATTACK for short)

EDIT: Few questions. Have we started? Are there turns or is it basically played in real time? How far can you expand in one turn or how long does it take to get a new territory?

EDIT2: Oh, I see we started and I capture the NW most province of Canada, more if I am allowed.
