@Lizard: The Confederate-California border should be on the Rio Grande. Excellent update, as always. What's the news on the wiki?

I'm sorry Dread. Care to draw it for me? I can have it go to the Rio Grande, but that eventually ends.. so where does the rest of the border connect at? Sorry to be pain, I just used your map (or at least I think I did 
) from the other page.

I'll make it. Plus, I've realized the Texas I drew sucks, but I know how to fix that too. I'll have it up in about 5 minutes.

I just saved you a lot of pain, hardship and blood and toils and sweat (or something). Under different circumstances I'd tell you to get down on your **********ing knees and thank me, I'll just say you're welcome and take a few of your women back with me.
P.S. the guys down at Foreign Affairs can kiss my ass.

Thanks Dreadnought! Fixed!
Oh, Forrest gave De Vries a run for his money. The only reason I had to give it to De Vries was because he's been more prominent for two turns. Not just the one.

Lol, in all fairness though, you put up some really good competition. I read all of your speeches while listening to Dixie. I felt it.

Prime Minister's Address to the Public
<Announcer> Citizens of Her Majesty's Empire, I now present to you your Prime Minister, Christofoor De Vries, fresh from his state visit to The Ukraine.
<De Vries> Thank you, thank you, you're a fantastic audience. I appreciate the applause, I consider it my life's soundtrack. Yes, even you, fat guy in the back. Everyone sees you. Jesus, lose some weight you pig. We're trying to make the Mongol commies out on the steppes look bad, not us. Come on, twenty pounds, it's not hard.
<De Vries> Alright, enough of me talking about you. Let's talk about me, that's exciting right? Of course it is. Game time! Do you know what this is, this in my hand? No? You all lose. Every one of you. I win, but that's not special. I always win. I'm Christofoor *********ing De Vries. Well because I'm such a nice guy I'll tell you, it's a statue. Know why I got this statue? The Danes gave it to me. Because I took the war between them in the Germans, you following me? I took their war. I turned it into peace. I am a peacemaker. One and only, folks. You leave here tonight, you go to bed knowing your Prime Minister got another statue to add to his collection. Collection of several thousand. More statues than you, more statues than your mother, more statues than those dirty commie heads of state get in a lifetime. In fact, I consider this a statue arms race. Come on you horse-lovers, come and get it.
<De Vries> You know what they get statues for over there? Come on, I'll let you guess.
<Crowd> We don't know, Prime Minister De Vries!
<De Vries> Hahahaha, but no seriously, of course you don't. We don't pay you to run this country, you just vote. For me! You vote for me, or else you wouldn't be here. And if you didn't, then you damn well better in the next election, or the commies'll get you. But seriously, they get statues for seeing whose horse can crap gold. No poor fellow has ever won a statue in the entirety of their history. Sad place, sad people. Moving on! When I was in The Ukraine, I had the pleasure of meeting with their President. Let me tell you, that guy, he is secretive. Aren't you glad I'm not? Why, I'll gladly tell you just about anything, right here, right now. How many mistresses do I have? Well, last year it was twenty, right now it's thirty. That's right, boys, watch your wives.
<The crowd is hit with a wave of nervous laughter>
<De Vries> Anywho, I'd tell you his name, but then they'd try to kill me. And I'd just end up having to clean the blood of their expertly-trained assassins off of my walls, and that's really a pain in the rear. Also I'm pretty certain it would set back negotiations a bit. We went hunting!
<De Vries> It's just about time for us to wrap up here, I know, I know, parting is sorrow and stuff. Not to worry, I'll be back. I won't be leaving you any time soon, citizens of the Empire. So long as you stay vigilant against communism! Remember, only you can prevent the Red Menace from stealing over this great nation and eating your children like a terrible, dark Marxist god. Well, you, with a little help from me. Scratch that, a lot of help, in fact I think we'll settle for recognizing that I do most of the work. You know, this really is an unhealthy relationship, we ought to see a counselor. Just because I like to throw you guys a bone every once and a while, the Freedom Guard of the Netherlands should keep up the good work. Yeah, you guys go. Whoever you are. God save the Empress!

Nebraska Applies For Statehood!
As a direct result of the Columbus Accords, Nebraska has applied for the right to be legally and politically considered a state in the Confederacy.
This motion was announced after a three day meeting in the territorial capital of North Platte, where prominent Nebraskan lawmakers and politicians gathered to organize a formal application for statehood.
Legally, the territory of Nebraska has possessed the right to pass its own laws independent of Kansas jurisdiction, a system that was first adapted in 1908. However, the territory still must abide by the governor of Kansas on certain executive decisions, and the territory does not use its own electoral college for national elections.
After the War for Southern Independence, Nebraska was grouped into the large "Territory of the West" which later was added to the state of Kansas. The difficulty in the assignment of statehood for this region was the political scene after independence. The western territories, with Kansas as the exception, were not states when the War first began, and thus did not, in the traditional sense, secede from the Union.
With the new annexation of vast western territories, the "western question" of Nebraska statehood has finally reached its climax. The governor of Kansas, Christian Crawford, denies the request by Nebraska for statehood, stating that the territory is bound to the state of Kansas.
President James Monroe Forrest, when asked to comment, stated, "The application for Statehood by Nebraska is legitimate and legal. On the other hand, being a section of Kansas, the executive orders of the governor of Kansas must also be respected. On that note, however, I must also state that the will of the people should also be heard."
The President's statement concerning the "will of the people" refers to two statewide polls, issued at the end of last week:
In the Nebraska Territory, more than two thirds of the population would like to see immediate statehood achieved, while less than 20% wish to remain a part of Kansas.
In the area of Kansas proper, the southern section of the large area, approximately 45% of the population do not mind the statehood application of Nebraska, while less than 30% would feel disappointed of Nebraska became a state.
There exist several lifestyle, political, and economic differences between Nebraska and Kansas, which explains why the majority of the population wish to see a seperation occur.
Already, people in Nebraska and Kansas alike are calling Governor Crawford's veto as a political game, claiming that he wishes for the electoral votes of the entire region to remain consolidated for the Democratic Party.
In addition to Nebraska, the far northern territory of Cheyenne is also expected to apply for statehood later this week.

(OCC: Is this how you treat all new NES player’s Kara? I am extremely disappointed in your actions in this game so far. Your actions reek of cheapness and unfair play. I get that this is a strategic game that involves a lot of war. I get that surprise attacks are part of the game. But I can’t escape that feeling that you are gaming the system to get yourself an unfair advantage.
To be clear I am not protesting your actions, but rather the way you went about doing them.
First, you quit California after the first update when you were attacked. Ok, I get that you have outside commitments and a busy schedule, but I can’t escape the thought that you fled because things weren’t going your way. Furthermore, I was one of the players that was coming to California’s defense and actively helping in protecting California from Texas’ aggressions. I would still be doing that but for Texas’ implosion last turn.
When you decided to return to the game only a few days later (without a single update happening in-between, by the way) you joined as Bolivia. 15 minutes before the deadline for orders. You posted some back history, including some interesting bits about past conflicts with other nations (Ecuador not included). All well and good. Welcome back to the game.
Then, hours before the update was to be published, you issue me an ultimatum that I have no ability to respond to (orders already sent, remember) and to make matters worse, you revoke that ultimatum under the pretense that I didn’t respond in time. IN THE SAME POST!
You completely ignore my history and the reasons I am at war with Peru (NPC by the way) and issue a silly proclamation that I am sure not to accept. I am given no warning. No idea that I even have a player in the region that may have a stake in Peru, and no possibility to even negotiate or change my plans to reflect this new update. You just waltz right in at a precarious point in my war with Peru and totally tip the scales.
This to a player who was willing to protect you as California. A player that had not interfered with any other player. And to top it all off, a player who is currently playing his first NES.
To make matters worse, you delete every past post you have concerning your history of Bolivia. How am I supposed to respond to that? How am I supposed to take your history and use it to craft my response? The answer is I can’t, and it was an intentional act by you to make it more difficult to counter your actions. A very cheap and unfair act.
I sincerely hope this is not normal behavior for NESes. If it is, I am seriously considering not playing any more games. But don’t worry about this game. Unlike you and California I will stick this one out to the bitter end. One way or another, Ecuador will prevail and Bolivia will not, or I will go down in flames.

I hope you rot in hell. Your intervention in this matter between Ecuador and Peru is out of line, and is only serving to escalate this conflict. Ecuador will not stop until Peru and Bolivia have been defeated.
