Imperium Offtopicum II: Chronological Order is For Chumps!

[Tani Coyote]

GM Announcement:

As soon as I update. That's in about 3-6 hours. I want the first turn to last 24 hours so we can pick up all stragglers... so far there's such a large showing, however, that I might as well start in 2 and a half hours once it reaches midnight here.

Also, random note: time in-game flows independently from updates.

 

[Mad Man]

Oranje areas of future expansion in yellow

Alefurya desires the following:

In gray, areas that are considered integral to the nation.

In red, areas that Alefurya aims for, but will compromise on.

Furthermore, Alefurya obviously wants the isolated micro-provinces within its borders.

is there any way you could do with out Luxembourg?

 

[Tee Kay]

The Leventine Republic seeks a trade agreement with any nation willing to sign.

 

[Mathalamus]

The Leventine Republic seeks a trade agreement with any nation willing to sign.

the Byzantine Republic signs the agreement.

 

[Mad Man]

The Leventine Republic seeks a trade agreement with any nation willing to sign.

The Oranje Federation would live to have a trade agreement

 

[Tee Kay]

To both the Byzantines and the Oranjes, of course!

From now on when a nation signs a trade agreement with TLR it becomes active immediately unless I say otherwise.

 

[Reiser]

@ Reiser well... I'd really like all of Italy.... But if you don't want to change I guess it's okay (If you want to that'd be awesome)

You'll have to pry it from our cold, dead hands
Maybe I could move to Western Africa...I'll think about it.

 

[Tani Coyote]

Maybe I could move to Western Africa...I'll think about it.

As I haven't updated, you can't turn over anything just yet since you don't own it.

For the Imperial Rome > Angevins, the Angevins just formed somewhere else and Zelet claimed the lands made empty by them. If you moved this turn AND could turn your territories over, Zelet would have 20 territories. Not exactly anti-gamebreaking friendly...

 

[W|M]

The Leventine Republic seeks a trade agreement with any nation willing to sign.

The Footballing Republic of Brasilinho signs .

GM Announcement:

Rather than wait the full 24 hours, I'd say we have more than enough people to move on to the next turn. I'll give it about an hour before I update, and then the game can actually begin.

 

[Tee Kay]

Alright, I've just noticed this rule

Territories 4 pixels or smaller cost only half a point to claim.

So, here are my new claims (territories in lighter green are those costing 1/2 points)

 

[Tani Coyote]

Map Update

Turn 2 has now started. You may claim territories equal to SEVEN points.

---

Alefurya's claims - in red - for this turn:

Full territories (5)

1. Tyrol
2. Salzburg
3. North Rhine-Westphalia
4. Rhineland-Palatinate
5. Baden-Wurttemberg

Half territories (2)

1. Berlin
2. Hamburg
3. Liechtenstein
4. Vorarlberg(Westernmost Austria)

Diplomatic News:

Alefurya also would like to agree to the trade agreement with the Levantine Republic. May this proposal allow us both to prosper.

 

[GenMarshall]

The Conneticut Valley Republic claims the Ontario and Quebec

 

[Double A]

I claim Adrianople! HA!

More to come later.

Here:

The pink one is optional if I need 2 points for the Baleares.

 

[Arakhor]

The Angevin Empire welcomes all legal and moral trade with the Levantine Republic.

The light purple areas are my claims this turn and the pink areas are my Sphere of Influence. We are happy to discuss all other colonisation topics.

 

[Virote_Considon]

Curses! I missed the crucial first turn, and thus only get 7 territories! :grr:

Well, anyway, I am:

Name: Persia

Color: Sea Green

Current Ruler: Shah Virotaxes

Capital: Persepolis

Government: Absolute Monarchy in theory, headed by the Shah. In practice, an Oligarchy headed by the Shah's five Advisors of the State. The upper class (called the Arya) and the army (predominantly the Imperial Immortals) are also dominant in the state. The lower classes have almost no say.

Style: Very aggressive. Persia believes in claiming what is rightfully hers. Diplomacy is obviously preferred, but war isn't off the table.

Social policy: Fairly conservative, with Zoroastrianism (the religion of the Arya, the royalty and the Immortals), Islam (the religion of the lower classes) and Baha'i-ism (the religion of the middle classes) all exerting significant influence among their classes.

Economic policy: Capitalist. It's what the Arya want, so it's what the Arya get.

Political Rights: Although the lower classes have almost no say in government, their rights are respected. Freedom of speech and expression are highly guarded, for example.

Economy: $335.7 billion (nomina), $876 billion (PPP) (stats just copied from the Iranian economy wiki page )

Military: 10,000 "Immortal" guards, 50,000 regular Iranian troops, when other areas are expanded into, they will have their own divisions.

The map:

Alefurya also would like to agree to the trade agreement with the Levantine Republic. May this proposal allow us both to prosper.

The Levantine Republic will not sign until Taniciusfox recognizes our claim to Amman (post 91. You seemed to have missed it. And don't tell me that it's over the claim limit - I'm very sure it isn't).

And now my seven territories for today (in light sea-green).

 

[Tani Coyote]

Very well, done.

 

[Tee Kay]

The Republic only needs to claim the four northern Syrian provinces and expansion in the core area will be completed. However, we do not rule out claiming overseas territories in the near future.

 

[Lighthearter]

The Empire of Virginia claims Illinois, Michigan and Missouri. Oh and DC if it's a territory, because we have that extra point . . . .

The Empire refuses to accept the Levantine Republic's trade agreement, as all your lands & goods belong to us anyway.

The Empire refuses to acknowledge the Connecticut Valley Republic's claim on Ontario.
