A Brave New World Part 2

[Milarqui]

How far seem to be those times, when I took control of you. It was the year 1901, and things seemed to be fairly easy then.

Then came the many things that would shake us: the World Economic Crash, the war against France and Russia, the appearance of the first movies... I happily joined the European Alliance of Nations (of which I wrote its charter) so that we could work together in our attempt to bring peace to the world. How naïve I was! We should have known that, in this world, certain people are way too war-like to remain in peace.

I celebrated the successes of the best Danish football teams in the European Football Cup. I was happy to see how people liked my best idea, the famed Olympic Games, as it took hold of everyone. Many medals the Danish athletes won in such great events, to the joy of the Danish people. The creation of the Shark Submarines, even though they were built only on small quantities, was our best stroke in the military field.

Other ideas were not as good. The Malling-Hansen Prizes, an attempt to reward those people that worked in the name of science and peace, did not work as well as I had hoped. Our nation was also besieged by ingrates, demanding a mile with their rude manners when I would have been willing to give them two if they had approached me with more diplomacy. The Icelandic people certainly learnt what their rudeness brought to them, and although it might have given us an ally if we hadn't, it was certainly better to leave them to ponder whether it had been an idea to leave the Empire.

In our last years, after the loss of much of the Empire, we were reduced to a couple of islands, Greenland and Nijeria, in which ungratefulness also paved the way when some misguided Nijerians, thinking they were going to be rewarded for it, started to fight those that had been protecting them with their lives. They certainly weren't willing to compromise on a diplomatic way: they behaved like a spoiled child, always demanding something of his caring parents, when they had been doing their best to give him a good life and education. Those Nijerians, paid by the French, will now probably see how their betrayal of their parent will turn them into the slaves of what they thought would be their friends.

And now, 45 years after I started in this game with you, I had to left you, as I knew that our cause for peace, justice and freedom was lost to the evil of the French. However, I really enjoyed that time next to you, and truly hope that, in the future, we might be able to encounter each other again, as old friends, and join once more in this wonderful game named A Brave New World 2.

All hail the Danish Empire!
Al haglvejr den Dansk Empirisk!

Farewell, my friend. And may God have mercy on you.

END.

That's my farewell to the nation I've played for 44 turns. I'm certainly going to miss them, as it was certainly a bit of me after so much work and input put in them, and I can't say I will regret the choices taken at some points in its life.

Now, I hope that my work with Venezuela will not end as badly as the Danish Empire has. (And now, jokes in Spanish!)

OOC: Now, Crezth, you have to recognise that the Danish resistance in Nijeria was a great thorn in your a**e. We certainly resisted against all odds for many years, and in the end you had to resort to paying anti-Danish rebels.

 

[Lord_Iggy]

I find it really ironic that the much-lauded 'new approach' to Socialism is what Serge Sauvage has been saying for the last two decades.

 

[bestshot9]

OOC: Since its obvious I'm not supposed to succeed in this NES then I state the following:

IC:

To: The People of Finland, Norway
From: The Empire of Sweden

If Finland and Norway so desire to separate from the nation that has taken care of them for so long, then a vote will be held within the regions to decide if they are to leave the empire or not.

OOC: Let the failure of Sweden continue, next update: 0 stability, what fun!

No one listens to Serge Sauvage.

To: Chile
From: SUSA

Your abuses of the Chilean people will not continue. We will see to that.

To: The World
From: SUSA

We stand behind the consensus reached at the First International Congress of Socialist Parties. In a choice between democracy and Capitalist tyranny (here's looking at you, Lisists), we will choose democracy and achieve Socialist revolution through constitutional means, without destroying democratic institutions. And as the first act under this assumption, we ask that economic sanctions be placed upon Chile until we receive a promise that fair democratic elections shall be held in the nation.

To: Republic of China
From: SUSA

The SUSA apologizes for our involvement in your long and bloody civil war. Prestes and the new leadership of the SUSA sees now that the Communists had a poor means of achieving Socialist ends. We hope that new relations can be established between our nations.

However, we hope that the Republic of China legalizes the Socialist Party. We won't speak for the Communists, but we can assure you that the Chinese Socialist Party has no ends that would harm the Republic. They will respect the Chinese constitution.

EDIT: I don't know whether the Socialist Party was made illegal in China along with the Communist Party. If they are still legal, then never mind.

 

[Lord_Iggy]

Maybe so.

 

[DarthNader]

To: New Jersey
From: Pennsylvania

We find your recent actions against our shipping a blatant act of agression. Your tales about piracy are only silly little lies that you have devised in order to illegaly interupt our shipping, in disregard to the treay you yourself signed only last year. Continued acts of needless agression against Pennsylvanian shiiping will be interpreted as an act of war against our nation.

From: The Democratic Republic of New Jersey
To: Pennsylvania

What you call silly little lies was in fact an international incident where a separatist group in New England secured a large amount of modern, military-grade weaponry from the French Republic destined for the New Jerseyan military. We hope you quickly grasp the severity of such a breach in national security.

Your ships were in New Jerseyan waters and did not have the authorization to be in our waters. They were checked for pirates and pirated goods, as were many other ships from many other nations, and since they did not have the proper papers, were escorted out of our waters. Nothing was taken, no harm was done, and the only "grievance" you Quakers have is that we slowed down your ships so that they arrived in port about an hour later than expected.

Again, we have no problem with your ships traversing our waters as long as it is done legally. We are awaiting a request from Quaker shipping companies so that we may allow access to our waters. If you want to avoid this process, and avoid any further inconveniences, feel free to use the Virginian half of the bay. Its not any different than ours other than the coast is to the west rather than the east.

OOC: Just to let you know...if you declare war, I'll mine the Delaware River again.

 

[Crezth]

Maybe so.

If it's any consolation I think Serge Sauvage is a real cool cat.

OOC: Well, Milarqui, it did bother me that Nijeria wouldn't go down easily. Then again I expected it. But now the world will think twice before crossing France.

 

[DarthNader]

OOC: New Jersey worships her French creator!

 

[tuxedohamm]

Arabistan welcomes the news that Iraq is now fully independent of Virginian influence. We have no ill feelings towards Virginia, but we felt that Iraq should be left to the Iraqis.

 

[Warman17]

Jesus Christ, how does the death of a man who was throne out of office in disgrace two years ago cause everyone to go crazy? I can understand 1 or 2 stability loss, but 6!?

 

[Anonymoose]

It is a little fishy. I lost 2 EP, too. At this rate, I won't even be able to feed the poor bastards in Turkey. They'll have to consume more sand!
IC: Turkey is requesting relief in the form of clean water and perhaps rice. Any assistance to this fledgling democracy would be appreciated, and would ensure no communist sympathies arise.

Florida will gladly send food and supplies to Turkey.

Wow, I didn't know that New Holland was SO powerful that they own North American Northern islands. It's petty, I know, but should those islands REALLY belong to New Holland?

No one cares enough about a bunch of polar bears and eskimos to do much about it .

I know. It's just...odd. I can be picky like that.

From: The Supervisor

Did I send my orders too late last time? I have money banked and my stability did not change. My stability should still be higher because it dropped 3 points with no explanation last turn in what you said was a mistake.

 

[bombshoo]

From: SUSA

To: SUSA
From: China

The Republic of China thanks the people of SUSA for this heartfelt apology. We are glad to see the idea of "violent revolution" has finally come to end before it had the chance to destroy any more lives. We plan to finally open an embassy in Rio de Janeiro next year and we welcome the government of SUSA to open embassy in Lanzhou.

OOC: I also never did outlaw the Socialist Party because it was simply unneeded. Far left ideologies were very unpopular following the Civil War.

 

[Lord_Iggy]

OOC: I'd imagine that they'd be de facto part of the Inuit nation already established further to the west... Baffin Island is one of the heartlands of Inuit culture.

From: The Republic of China

We would like to invite you all to join a new alliance. Pacific Economic Development Organization or "PEDO" The Asian-Pacific Agreement for Cooperation and Security or "APACS". The goals of the new alliance are to be collective security in the face of the evils of foreign Imperialism and Communism as well as mutual assistance among members for the purposes of encouraging economic and technological growth.

If any other nation in the Asian or Pacific regions of the world would like to consider joining this organization please have your leaders consult with the Chinese ambassador or consul in your country. (PM me).

From: The Republic of China

The creation of almost a dozen new nations in the Pacific area and the reorganization of many more has the potentiality to lead to chaos. The Republic of China therefore would like to invite the following nations to The 1947 Pacific Trade Conference in Shanghai for the purposes of reorganizing Trans-Pacific trade, reestablishing official territorial waters, and deciding upon the future division and distribution of marine resources. The overall goal of the conference is to facilitate economic growth in the region and allow the many new and reorganized nations to establish official economic relations all in a single group setting. (OOC: I don't need a confirmation or RSVP from players or anything. This isn't that big a deal. It is like Florida's agriculture conference).
