Capto Iugulum: 1920 - 1939

The new manpower comes from a revised formula, which I believe is a bit more realistic than the formula I had before, hence why it's lower almost everywhere. Also, I recently acquired a more accurate collection and idea of global manpower, therefore a lot was adjusted across the board (calculating also for immigration and emigration in the world). In the specific case outlined, Germany's population is higher because it has a more accurate representation of the population of Austria, which was neglected last time I did a proper calculation.

Elite units are gone because I hate them. Special forces are now reflected by Doctrines which have a higher training stat. Armies with higher training are assumed to be able to conduct more elaborate or covert operations with small units. Armies with lower training are far more likely to fail in said elaborate or covert operations.

@Azale: Yes, but only 34 of them were states, which are what the stars marked. Therefore a 34 star flag.

It's advantageous for me politically to insinuate that the territories and military fiefdoms are the same as states, as far as being part of the insepperable integrity of the nation-state :p
 
The Confederation would like to, since this is a new thread, recount its diplomatic commitments, and post three treaties that may be useful for us to refer to in future. In particular:

We have alliances with both Scandinavian factions.

We are also a member state of the Rhine-Rhone Pact, the current membership of which also contains Occitania, the Netherlands, Sardinia and Spain:

Rhine-Rhone Pact

The Franco-Burgundian Confederation, the Kingdom of Occitania, and the Republic of the United Netherlands, in the spirit of friendship and cooperation, agree the following terms are binding among them, January 1, 1917:

1. In case of attack by any European power on any signatory, all other signatories will declare war on the attacker.

2. The signatories will discuss their actions which may raise international tension, and if a signatory deems military action necessary through discussion, the other signatories may act jointly with them at their discretion.

3. All water, land, or air based vehicles designed by any of the signatories will be shared among the others. All trading of designs outside the pact will require agreement and/or inclusion of the whole pact.

4. If any signatory wishes to discontinue their adherence to these binding articles, they must give two years notice to the other signatories of such an intention.

Signed by the plenipotentiaries of the Parliament of the Franco-Burgundian Confederation

This additional treaty also theoretically continues to be in force:

Treaty of Valencia

Spain and the Confederation agree to a defensive alliance, to declare war on anyone who should invade either nation's territory under any pretext whatsoever, or anyone who should march into either nation's territory to aid rebels or dissidents within either nation's territory.

Signed by the Plenipotentiaries of the Franco-Burgundian Confederation

We have the following treaty with the United Kingdom:

Cherbourg Accords

The Franco-Burgundian Confederation and the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland have agreed to certain terms:

1. Neither party will declare war on the other within a space of six years (lasting until 1920), except in case of a declaration of war by either party on a bound ally or protectorate of the other where the binding agreement or proclamation antedates these Accords, and before any such declaration the parties agree to meet and negotiate on the subject in good faith;

2. Trade will be encouraged between the Confederation and the United Kingdom in both parties will act to allow the easier export of coal from the Confederation to the United Kingdom and of oriental produce from the United Kingdom to the Confederation;

3. The United Kingdom will allow the Confederation general unlimited naval access, for warlike or peaceful purposes, to ports and facilities between Rangoon and Formosa, and the United Kingdom will give provisional permission for army divisions to accompany any naval forces except where there is reason not to;

4. This agreement will be renewed in six years unless either party positively has a complaint against the other.

Signed by the plenipotentiaries of the Parliament of the Confederation

We also have a non-aggression pact along the same lines with Brazil,

on the same terms as on the Cherbourg Accords with regard to allies, &c. (1. Neither party will declare war on the other within a space of six years (lasting until 1920), except in case of a declaration of war by either party on a bound ally or protectorate of the other where the binding agreement or proclamation antedates these Accords, and before any such declaration the parties agree to meet and negotiate on the subject in good faith; ), but we will point out that we count under these terms our obligations as a member of the LCN, i.e. to preserve Europe from undue external intervention, and our newly established intention to protect the Federal Government of the USA. If a dispute arises there we will, of course, negotiate in good faith.

We are also a member-state of the League of Continental Nations, of which the other full members are the Netherlands, Portugal, Germany, Italy, Occitania, the Papal States, Corsica, Serbia, Denmark, Brittany, Hungary, Romania, Bulgaria, Croatia, Cechy-Morava, and Spain:

THE LEAGUE OF CONTINENTAL NATIONS

CHARTER

With the following aims, namely to institute and preserve ETERNAL PEACE on the European Continent, to exclude from continental affairs ALL WHO WOULD INTERFERE with rightfully continental matters, and furthermore to develop and improve HUMANITARIAN DEVELOPMENT within Continental Europe, and to RESOLVE PEACEFULLY whatsoever disputes may arise in the future, the undersigned FOUNDING MEMBERS, namely the Franco-Burgundian Confederation, the Empire of Scandinavia, the Kingdom of Brandenburg, the Kingdom of Austria, the Russian Empire, the Empire of Spain, the Republic of the Netherlands, the Commonwealth of Flanders, and the Italian Republic, whether they be themselves NEUTRAL or whether they be ALLIED, but in no cases whatsoever being at enmity with each other, agree that in the YEAR OF OUR LORD 1908, THE FOLLOWING TERMS SHALL BE HELD INVIOLATE HENCEFORTH:

1) All the below listed nations, as legal and legitimate INDEPENDENT CONTINENTAL EUROPEAN STATES, are hereby invited also to join this League, and may do so by appending their signature also to this charter.

The Papal States
Portugal
Brittany
The Roman Empire
Denmark
Hungary
Romania
Occitania
Pomerania
Sardinia
Serbia as legitimately constituted under the Treaty of Odessa

2) If the United Kingdom of Great Britain is willing to demonstrate their commitment to lasting European peace by sumbitting the full resolution of the Italian question to the League's fair and peaceable arbitration, the United Kingdom is also invited to join the League. If the United Kingdom chooses to decline participation, the League will debate the matter in any case and decide on appropriate action in coming years under Term 6 and 7 of this Charter.

3) The nations that join this League shall meet in a GENERAL ASSEMBLY in a suitable place to be chosen later by mutual agreement.

4) The nations that join this League shall agree to work towards and uphold certain basic humanitarian principles, to be determined at future discussions; there shall be a Slavery Commission, a Commission for Refugees, and an International Court of Justice to arbitrate disputes, and the members shall assist the preexisting International Health Organisation and Calais Convention as long as Flanders in the League in the interests of HUMANITY and UNIVERSAL CONTINENTAL PEACE.

5) The nations that join this League shall agree to resolve all newfound territorial or other disputes through the arbitration of the other members of the League, or through private discussions, or through mutual agreement to refer the case to the International Court of Justice, and not through the use of violence. Until any given dispute is resolved by mutual consent, the disputants shall respect each other's territory as it stood prior to the dispute.

6) The nations that join this League shall agree that, in the case of intervention by any non-member in Continental European affairs, the League shall be entitled to vote to undertake action against the unwanted breach of the generally accepted European Peace.

7) Any member of the League who does not wish to violate his neutrality by participating in such an action as described in Term 6 will not be required to assist, and any associated declaration of war will be undertaken only by the members who choose to contribute troops to the action. Therefore no neutral nation will in any way break its neutrality by joining in this neutral League.

8) The League shall supplement, and not replace, existing alliances between the states of Europe, and existing alliances will still hold sway in all matters outside Continental Europe.

Signed by the Plenipotentiaries of the Franco-Burgundian Confederation
 
I don't know if it was deliberate or you just missed it, but Denmark's army name is the Hæren and the navy's formal name is the Soværnet.

If you're going to write some army names in the native languages, you might as well do it for all the ones provided. :p

According to the terms of the Cherbourg Accords, our agreements are up for presumed renewal this year (1920). We, having nothing but the strongest friendship with you and having no complaints, are willing to renew them. Are you also willing?

From the Confederation


Given recent developments, we are not entirely sure whether or not you consider our alliance still in force. We would appreciate a direct clarification of this.

This is really embarrassing, but how do you PM? I don't know which nation to pick, and wanted to PM EQ.
 
You can't send or receive PMs until you've been a member for five days (just to prove you're not a bot :p).
 
@Arrow Gamer: No worries in leiu of PM, just answer the following questions here and we'll see what I can recommend:

1. Would you prefer a Western style culture or something more unusual or exotic?

2. Are you looking for militarism and warfare, a easy-going builder nation, or something in between?

3. Do you want something with major diplomatic relevance, isolated from other players, or something in between?
 
I want a nation that is peaceful but has weight in diplomacy. I want to not go to war, and I would preferably have a large navy. Anywhere in the world is fine, except for China.

We have nothing but respect for the Confederation after recent actions in Europe and abroad, thus Brazil accepts renewal under the same conditions as before.
 
Germany is here, acknowledges our membership in the LEAGUE OF CONTINENTAL NATIONS, and our alliance with Italy and Japan, along with our new alliance with Scandinavia.

We are also willing, and look forward to six more years of friendly relations with the Confederation [OOC: is FBC an acceptable acronym?].

OOC: @azale: EQ is right, that many of the regions I are (or were) military districts. Glad to see you keeping the flame burning, though! :goodjob:
 
Peru reporting in. (I've set my account on a temporary vacation and will be replying to any PMs when I get back.)

EQ: Love Peru's new stats (lots of new manpower I see), but the special forces haven't been removed for an increase in army quality. Also, the Galapagos islands are not Peruvian-colord on the map.
 
Pontus is here.
