Capto Iugulum

[m.t.cicero]

@EQ, are current nations allowed to alter their own flags? I changed Flanders' slightly, but only in order to make the three vertical bands equal:

Spoiler :

 

[SouthernKing]

To: The "Roman Empire"
From: The Pontic Republic

After further consideration, we will accept your offer.
However, we firmly believe that the future of the former Roman Empire can only be determined through a peaceful conference of those countries involved, and once the Turkish rebels are dealt with, we will begin efforts to make this happen.

 

[Grandkhan]

To: The Pontic Republic
From: Spain

Spain must once again demand that you pull out of Turkey. You have purchased this territory from a nation that illegally annexed and independent state. Withdraw from the territories of Turkey, or suffer our wrath.

 

[Nailix]

To: The Confederation
From: Italy

It has come to our attention that we may have acted to eagerly in finding new friends by signing a defensive pact with your nation. We are, at this point in time, retracting our defensive pact with your nation.

 

[Nuka-sama]

The Kingdom of Brandenburg extends to the Kingdom of Italy an offer to join a full alliance with the nations of Brandenburg and Austria

 

[Nailix]

To: Brandenburg
CC: Austria
From: Italy

For your aid in uniting Italy and supporting us in our war, we accept an alliance with your two nations.

 

[Muurya]

OOC: Nailix's last option for Italy's flag is exquisite imho as well. And thanks for the heads up on Rome Spryllino (didn't see it before now).

 

[Lord_Iggy]

OOC: I thought that we'd said that the Fleur de Lis didn't make sense in this timeline as an Italian symbol.

 

[Nailix]

OOC: EQ had the Naples flag the one that had the Fleur-de-Lis on it so it makes sense

 

[Muurya]

OOC: Iggy: I didn't notice that, but anyway I was just saying it was exquisite, not historically correct.
Nailix: It is? That's nice.

 

[SouthernKing]

To: Spain
From: The Pontic Republic

How exactly was Kurdistan's annexation of Turkey illegal? It has been accepted by the international community, and now even the government in Athens recognizes western Turkey as Pontic land. Any attack by Spain will do nothing but destabilize a region that is not in the best of situations to begin with.
If anything, we are doing Spain a favor by taking the land from the country who "illegally" annexed it. If you had wanted to do anything you could have done it when Kurdistan owned the land. We are not backing out of our rightfully gained territory.

 

[Luckymoose]

TO: Italy
FROM: Brazil

If you share our designs with the traitor Germans you will be considered an enemy of the UK-Brazilian alliance. We are disappointed that the Italian state allied with turncoats such as the Germans after years of British and Brazilian support for the Neapolitan effort.

 

[TheLizardKing]

From: Austria, on behalf of the GEL
To: The Italian Kingdom

This is delightful to hear. We will insure that you remain happy and independent from outside influences. Feel free to contact us more privately, should you have any matters that need attending.

OOC: Don't worry about Brazil. It's a mid-sized doggy, that barks like a bigger one.

 

[Luckymoose]

OOC: Don't worry about Brazil. It's a mid-sized doggy, that barks like a bigger one.

OOC: A doggy that is 20x larger than Austria with arguably objectively the world's best navy.

 

[Jehoshua]

OOC: A doggy that is 20x larger than Austria with arguably objectively the world's best navy.

OOC: worth nought considering the mediterranean (depending on Spanish/Sardinian whims) is a one way lake. That said, I suppose if Naples does decide to consumate its allegiance with the german states with tech dissemination it would simply show that you had poor judgement in your choice of ally at the time you decided to support Naples, water under the bridge now I suppose.

 

[TheLizardKing]

OOC: Yet my army is over twice the size of yours, the quality is higher, I have almost twice as much money as you, and my nation isn't in South America. But everything is subjective.

OOC: Nothing is ever just water under the bridge with Brazil. Besides, I can easily defeat the Spanish and Sardine fleets and make it a Brazilian lake. Also, I'm tired of all the OOC actions by European nations, this being a new one.

OOC: Yet my army is over twice the size of yours, the quality is higher, I have almost twice as much money as you, and my nation isn't in South America. But everything is subjective.

OOC: Army size means less than you think. Brazil's economy will surpass yours at current growth rates, not to mention that I have more spendable EP based on reparations alone.

 

[spryllino]

OOC: You couldn't defeat the Spanish and Sardinian fleets; Brazil's economy might surpass Austria's in three decades at current growth rates, perhaps?; you have 100EP per turn in reparations from Spain between all the allies, whereas Austria has at least 100EP more than you alone in income; Brandenburg has all the useful naval technology that Naples has; and it's not remotely OOC for a newly formed state not to adopt the same foreign policy as its predecessor.

OOC: The foreign policy of Naples was pro-Brazil. Or do you not remember why I sent a fleet to Naples and was attacked by Sardinia? Also, no Brandenburg does not have all the designs that Italy has. Italy recently received our new destroyer and immediately signed alliance with the traitor Germans. So IC Brazil has every reason to be pissed off. That whole Buzatto thing was to protect Naples from Spain and Sardinia in the first place. :3

At current growth rates which are nearing +20 EP a turn, Brazil would surpass Austria within the decade. :3

I defeated them before, I can do it again. :3

 

[spryllino]

OOC: I think the sums it up.
