I want to play as Greece ! :cry:

Can I at least change the flag. The current flag sucks
 
Well I suppose you can change the flag, old one was never set in stone, and after researching the symbology behind your proposed flag, I suppose it's not entirely unacceptable if you don't dig too deep into it.

Ok. I have edited my post. Is the name ''Hellenic Pontus'' acceptable?

Domínio da Angola


National Background: Annexed into the Brazilian Empire with the humiliating defeat of the Continental Powers in The Great War, Angola was soon given independence as a Dominion of the Realm. Under the new constitution the basic institutions of Brazil were instilled in Angolan society (universal suffrage, elected government, etc). Angola now sits as an integral part of the Empire, separate in name, but whole in spirit, an appendage of Brazilian Empire.

National Flag

The Dutch Tri-Color was removed as the National Flag of the Country following its Unification with its southern neighbor, The Commonwealth of Flanders. The new flag holds icons from both countries. The right-side of the flag holds the Traditional Orange, White, and Blue Dutch Tricolor. While the Left-side contains black, with the Flemish Lion on top.

National Backgrounds
The Republic of The Netherlands underwent much change in the last 20 years of the 20th Century, it emerged in the year 1900 as a much diminished European Power, despite this the Dutch Republican Navy remained one of the best navies in Europe, if not in the world. In 1904 the peaceful Republic was thrusted into the deadliest war that the world has yet seen, The Great War. Along with its Danish, and French-Burgundian Allies the Netherlands battled its British, Brandenburger, and Brazilian enemies, until 1906 when a peace was signed, The peace was a complete disaster for the Netherlands and the nation was forced to turn over its longtime West Indies Islands, along with its Chinese Colonies. The following year the Dutch people elected The Socialist Party, the second nation in the world to do so. The nation withdrew in isolation, and severed all its alliances while it did that it continued to grow closer and closer to Flanders, its Southern Neighbor, and Dutch Brethren. After the Great War came to an official close with Russia's annexation of Poland, The Republic of The Netherlands was one of the Founders of The League of Continental Nations, the brainchild of The Franco-Burgundian Confederation. The League vowed to assure that another European war would never occur. In its first assembly the League voted Flanders as its Chairman, and the Dutch city of Antwerpen as The Headquarters of the League. The next decade passed by relatively quietly for the Dutch Republic until 1916, when a unification referendum, set up and monitored by Dutch, and Flemish officials was approved by The Flemish and Dutch citizens. The following year the United Republic of The Netherlands was announced and in 1918 the newly unified country held its first elections. The newly unified country began to be tested almost immediately, when the Spanish Civil War broke out the Dutch Republic, along with its French-Burgundian Allies recognized The Republican Faction as legitimate, and pledged to protect Spanish Liberty. The German Empire, an ally of The Empire of Spain did not approve such an action, and war between The Netherlands, The Franco-Burgundian Confederation, The Kingdom of Occitania and Germany broke out. The Dutch army, with French helped broke through the German lines, while The Spanish Republicans secured an overwhelming victory. A year later a white peace was signed and a new election planned, which the Spanish Republicans won.

Why didn't the Japanese turn the Galapagos Islands back over to Peru? Is their military base still there? If so, WAR.
 
OOC: Huh, never noticed it changed colors in the first place, since it was a timed lease and I still had five brigades on it.

Chill Lucky. I left the islands in my orders.

I wouldn't use diplomacy. If I get a nuclear weapon I plan on using it before anyone knows I have it.
 
Islamic Kingdom of Persia

Background:Persia was an ascendant empire in 1852 after their conquest of the Durrani Empire and a large swathe of the Khazak Khanate. The Persian army remained one of the best in the region, and it would be sorely put to the test with the Caliph's invasion in 1855. The Persian army managed to acquit itself fairly well against a much larger conscripted army and the economic force behind it. The Persians were even able to temporarily invest and occupy Baghdad and Basra before being driven out in 1858. The war came to a complete end in 1860, and Persia was by far the more exhausted of the two, still managing to achieve a return to the pre-war status quo in diplomatic talks. Persia was so taxed by the war, however, that they were unable to participate when a large European coalition brought down the Caliph and his armies. The young Nasar al-din learned from this, however, and watched as the Caliphate failed to protect Islam's holy places from the European occupation and attack. Nasar spent much of his reign securing control over the clergy and government, emphasizing the superiority of the Shia sect and a religious government. Near the end of his life in 1889, Nasar led a new invasion of the fledgling Arabian Empire, hoping to extend Shia control further into Arabia. The invasion was a monstrous failure, and Nasar would die the following year with nothing to show for his gamble. The new ruler, Nadir al-Din has proven to be a little more conservative with his goals, modernizing his army once more and waiting for a new chance to strike for glory and power.

We extend our hearty congratulations and immediate recognition. You have achieved something great for the freedom of the American negro, and for the Revolution of the Proletariat. We hope to establish an embassy immediately, and formalize relations with your state, so as to continue our mutually-beneficent relationship of compromise, cooperation and friendship, as we are all brothers in the glorious struggle of the Revolution of the Proletariat. Lange leve Revolutionen, colleagues!

@EQ, I believe it was us, Scandinavia, that established the Crimson Guard elite unit and not Ivan :p
 
EQ: Thanks for the update and background's on the way!

To: Argentina
From: Peru's Conservative Government

Though we were victorious in our election we wish to congratulate Argentina on it's unparalleled economic surge, in particular its success in the movie industry. We have also come to the belated but obvious conclusion that since Argentina has always been honest with us before, and given Brazil's reputation (though we had not experienced it ourselves previously), that Brazil's statement of Argentinian plans to invade Peru were likely a fabrication. As such we apologize for our prior suspicion.
Furthermore we are pleased to note that while the main content of our talks as of two years ago on economic matters did not come to fruition the backdoor option we mentioned has seen some progress as Peru managed to lower tariffs to Colombia (and vice versa) by two thirds in the year of 1917 (we thought substantial trade was already in place between Argentina and Colombia (and fortunately substantial trade now does appear to have arisen between Argentina and Colombia)), in the hope that this might serve to reinforce indirect economic trade in preperation for a gradual normalization of tariff relations.

Awesome.

Lord José Curtidor as a ruler name is cool.

Only problem is the lack of the last ruling party... And wouldn't party of Order be the moderates in Angola? I would think the liberals are a bit more extreme RL left wingers...

Lord Curtidor was a local man that became Prime Minister. Lord is just an honorable gift to all PMs. EQ said I could rename things. The Party of Order is Liberal in Brazil and Angola. Liberal does not mean extreme in any sense. Those extreme people may vote for the Party of Order (which is fairly socialist in truth, as it was in Brazil), but they don't have an entire wing of government to themselves.

With the current ruling party being the Party of Order, ruling with a small African Party and empire party together forming a majority. The Commercial development party lost last elections but are still there, thought most likely they will dissipate eventually.
Brazilian-like parties are growing over the commercial development party size and the African party is closely associated with the party of order, but attempts to remain free of it for the ideal of a black party.

Party of Order 43%
African Party 2%
Empire Party 11%

I hope that African party is not some kind of independence or nationalistic party. Those are illegal.

They are liberals. Just wish for some black voice in the government (I assume that while suffrage exists, blacks tend to not care about the country... They have been nonexistent as a voice until rather lately).
