We are interested in a similar deal with your nation. We will pay you $80 for you to set up 10 branches within our nation and we will also reduce trading restrictions, setting trade to "2".

Russia is confirming this deal.

@tani: I presume being in Australia I can submit orders up to 11:59pm on the 29th (8:59am, 29th EST) rather than having the cut-off come unexpectedly in the day

I'll be busy most of the 28th due to Thanksgiving, so sure.

Now then. If there are no more objections, Zulu is declaring war on the Cape Commonwealth, though we urge them to surrender before their incredibly inferior and completely unaided army is destroyed.

The Cape's Foreign Minister seemed to have suffered a sort of demonic possession (likely the result of the heathen Zulu attempting to possess him to force a surrender), but he was able to resist enough to get out this statement:

"Come on at me, bro, I'm a Boer, yo, come on at me bro!"

The approximate translation of this remark is, "We shall not surrender to Zulu tyranny."

Fortschritte agrees. Perhaps an international convention to discuss this topic is warranted.

For once we can agree with you. War is a necessary evil, but surely there must be ways to limit HOW evil it must be.

Fortschritte agrees. Perhaps an international convention to discuss this topic is warranted.

Zulu thinks a short war is significantly less terrible than allowing an oppressive, imperialist, racist regime to continue about its business.

Liberum Solis is announcing the Forum of Liberum Solis, a new center of government for the alliance designed to centralize the governments and militaries of member nations and still allow input from the constituents of the alliance.

To: Members of the Progressive League

To ensure the progress of all our nations, we would like to propose the following to add on to the terms of the League.

• The Defensive Alliance is to be upgraded to Full Alliance.
• The militaries of all nations involved are to be centralized under the most advanced military in the alliance, the most advanced military having their officers fulfill key roles in the broad League military might. (The militaries of all members are controlled by the power with the most advanced military technology.)

I meant defining what is and is not legal in war.

That sounds reasonable.

The City of Reason has signed a free trade agreement with India.

 

[Thorvald of Lym]

We wonder if you would like to lift trade barriers.

We are also willing to offer Free Trade Agreements to Egypt, India, & the City of Reason

I am not pestering. The Order lock should have been wednesday, however was pushed back for Thanksgiving and everything. I was simply wondering if it was going to end up keeping to the estimated schedule of being completed on Sunday or not, now that the delays can be taken into account.

 

[Tani Coyote]

15 of 25 player orders are complete, if that means anything. Those are the most intensive part to do since there's no copy/paste involved.

==Operation: Cape Crusader==

The Zulu invade the Cape with the intent of establishing majority rule. Their fighters engage the Cape’s in a strategic duel for air superiority. In this duel, the Zulu emerge superior, albeit narrowly. Each side loses 1 of its air wings, though the Cape forces are battered enough that Zulu bombers have free reign of the skies.

All 3 Cape Tank divisions are utterly destroyed, as is one of its Infantry divisions. The artillery fire from the Cape is somewhat lackluster, though it does destroy a Zulu tank division. The Zulu forces triumph, destroying 2 of the Cape Infantry and losing one of their own Tanks. They occupy 7 of the 9 provinces of the Commonwealth. The merciful nature of the Zulu and their open declaration fortunately prevents many civilian casualties. The damage is primarily economic, with many acres of farmland destroyed via combat or self-sabotage by the Boers.

The Cape is placed under blockade, only a single port maintaining open trade with the world.

Losses:
-13000 Cape soldiers (1 Fighter, 3 Infantry, 3 Tanks)
-5100 Zulu soldiers (1 Fighter, 2 Tanks)
-6000 Cape civilians
