Okay then, jeps is the new Italy. And I was kind of hoping that we'd at least last a few years before having to deal with replacements.
My thought exactly.

SuperMath, do you mind if I do stories to pass the time?
This being the Never Ending Stories forum, I think you can get away with it.

Just checking.
Denmark
Fredrick, self-named "The Great", Governor and General of Denmark, and heir to the newly constituted Duchy of Prussia, sighed.
The trouble was all the paperwork- he was in Denmark because of his (percieved) loyalty and lack of conscience, not his ability. Unlike the other candidates, he would willingly order soldiers to fire at civilians.
"Become a Governor, they said. Rule a kingdom, they said." he muttered to himself half-jokingly. Really, he knew it was his own fault he was here- he'd thought Denmark would give him an informal power base. But the army, he quickly discovered, was loyal to the Kaiser- he could never hold true power here.
Isolated from the true centre of power in Berlin, he mediated on events. How things had gotten this way...

The First Holstein War
Late in 1899, the Russians had exploited claims as protector of the Orthodox people of the Balkans (a hangover from Ottoman days) to invade Romania. The Triple Entente did not want to support Russian power in the Balkans, so the Treaty of Paris had disbanded it and it's counterpart, the Triple Alliance.
The primary reason for this treaty, in reterospect, was the French desire to seize Spanish Morroco. Under the assumption that Britain would permit it for fear of disbanding the Entente, the French government had plotted for some time to invade. The British were not willing to accept this, but knew as long as the Triple Alliance existed they had little choice.

Okay, so I'm going to say that I was completely surprised by what happened and that I am pretty sure that this turn totally invalidates everything I thought I knew about 1900 or Diplomacy in general. I mean...lolwut?
I recommend attacking Turkey.
Um, what do you mean?
Can someone else handle this question? I don't feel like answering this.
