Imperium Offtopicum II: Chronological Order is For Chumps!

[Tani Coyote]

The Manchu government opens the Kyoto Convention with this proposed post-bellum map.

We also announce that peace has been secured between the Manchu regime and the Angevin and Byzantine states.

Alefurya will secure 2/3 of Korea and the region around Kyoto.
TUNIC will secure a large chunk of the Chinese coastline, as well as the remainder of Korea.
The Dutch will secure everything from Taiwan to the Southern Japanese coastline.

As one may notice, many of the territories are piles of rubble. This is because no contest will be held over the rightful owner of each territory; gray is rightfully-Manchu, red rightfully-Italian, and black rightfully-Alefuryan.

This is why the Manchu regime is willing to sign a special treaty with all the belligerents, the Sphere of Influence Security Pact. As part of this limited mutual defense treaty, we will guarantee eachother's sphere of influences against intrusion.

In the Age of Opportunism, it is ever more important to keep third parties out of our rightful lands. It will also foster better Sino-European relations.

 

[Mathalamus]

Byzantium will grudgingly and with significant opposition respect the sphere of influence.

i only respect it because i don't have time for another war, and i woudl be going against half the world.

 

[Reiser]

The government of Italy/TUNIC accepts the white peace, proposed map and sphere-of- influence treaty at the Kyoto Conference.

EDIT: Also, should we wish to discuss who is the Secretary-General of the EEC, as Arakhor assumes it's his?

 

[Arakhor]

The Angevin ambassador congratulates the Byzantine ambassador for realising the political realities of the moment.

 

[Mathalamus]

ambassador? you realize that all diplomacy is done by the Emperor and an adviser?

 

[Arakhor]

Is that what the advisers tell the Emperor? I can't think of any conceivable way that the entire Byzantine Foreign Office is the Emperor and one adviser.

 

[Mathalamus]

well there are embassies and consulates in many countries to handle some stuff there. i just handle real actual international diplomacy.

and it makes things nicely centralized. I like centralization.

Byzantine news

Constantinople has being re founded. its population is quite large for a city that was just built. 1 million people. despite its small size its already the Republic's premier source of production, research and economy. " wait, your saying Constantinople, a city founded barely 6 months ago is already the Republics most powerful city? uh-oh, I think i did something wrong." the Emperor is later seen fumbling with papers finding out what he did wrong.

and, since several people beat me over the head that a Republic with an Emperor isn't a Republic at all, we hereby proclaim the Byzantine Empire. please update the page with that info.

 

[Arakhor]

It's just a shame that the Byzantine Emperor has no diplomatic training then, isn't it?

 

[Mathalamus]

meh. can i help it if i based my diplomacy skills of an ancient game called civilization 4 and 5? personally im amazed its still around.

 

[Mad Man]

The Dutch Republic accepts the peace agreement with the Manchu Empire.

 

[Arakhor]

Whatever happened to the Dutch royal family, incidentally? I think we're down to just two monarchies in Europe - the sane one and the, uh, excitable one.

 

[Mathalamus]

so i seem to be a few years behind in maturity. so what?

 

[Arakhor]

I'm jesting with you

Make that three - the Alefuryans still have a Kaiser, I expect.

 

[W|M]

Actually, 'Kaiser' means Caesar and is an Emperor. In German, King is 'König'

Alefuryan News

The Eurasian War is officially over; the Alefuryan ambassador was the last to sign the treaty after confirmation from Kaiser Maximilian. With this last transfer, the world shall no longer hear the deadly music of missile interchange or gunfire. At least not on the scale this war has had:.

This fatal dance of regimes across the world has claimed 1.14667 billion lives. This is more than twice as much as the previous deadliest conflict, the Dutch-Korean War.

Kaiser Maximilian is commissioning war memorials to civilians and soldiers, enemy and friendly alike. He is also scheduling a national day of prayer for people of any faith willing to participate. The prayer day is meant to thank whatever divinity one wishes for the good fortune of Berlin being spared, not to mention the war coming to a much less costly end than if it had continued.

Alefurya puts its full effort toward claiming all territories in its Asian sphere of influence.

 

[Arakhor]

Actually, 'Kaiser' means Caesar and is an Emperor. In German, King is 'König'

Which doesn't change the fact that the Alefuryans have a monarch as their head of state.

 

[Mathalamus]

this is the president speaking.

"ok, first of all, the Byzantine Emperor took a day off to play civilization 5. despite the fact that in the real world, its not out yet. and its nearly 6 AM.

Byzantine Memorial
second, we are organizing a week long prayer for those who has died in the war, the prayer will happen in Constantinople and Cairo, both that were destroyed in the two nukes Russia gave us. there will be a permanent memorial, where the hagia sofia once stood, and one in Cairo where its biggest mosque once stood.

even the Emperor himself took part in the memorial services. the people noted that he seemed a little... resigned. they assumed 76 million dead people in his mind will do that, since he entered the war on his own accord.

Egyptian Independence
the people of Egypt wants independence from Byzantium in 6 months, saying "Byzantium is a great country to live in, but frankly, we do not feel 100% safe with Byzantium, their Alliance with the EEC is not advantageous with our people."

Levantine independence
the people of Israel, Gaza, West bank, Jordan and Syria Requests Independence as the 'Levant Republic'. "Byzantium is a great country, and we are happy that they have modernized the levant, but we feel that by being independent, we will be safer in this war torn world.

the Byzantine Emperor, the senate, the president and the people of Byzantium has voted to allow their independence.

since Egypt and the Levant was granted independence peacefully, both these nations have a very positive attitude of Byzantium.

 

[Arakhor]

You have a president and an emperor? Who's the actual head of state?

 

[Mathalamus]

well... ok this is really confusing. i believe i wasn't consistent with how the Government operates. lets just wipe that and start over. its high time for it anyway.

 

[W|M]

I think the Emperor is Head of State and the President is Head of Government.
