Imperium Offtopicum XI

[Sonereal]

I don't think people understand the claiming system.

When you send an army to claim a territory, you also need another POINT to do so. So, it costs one point for the army, one point for that army to expand.

This means there should NOT be more than 25 claims this turn from anyone.

Edit: Forgot to count trade. There CAN be more than 25 claims. Just make sure you leave points on the side for each army you're using to expand.

 

[Robert Can't]

50 to armies
26 to navies
50 to occupy provinces

Mali will accept a Spanish presence in North Africa not larger that the yellow part on the following map. Spanish presence in Central Africa is to be negotiated, as is possible Arabian colonisation.

Robert is displeased

 

[mythmonster2]

I have edited my orders to fix them with regards to the point system.

 

[Sonereal]

57 into Armies
22 into Navies
28 into expanding expansion along the border
18 into naval expansion

Spoiler :

Note: We are still in the mood for trade treaties and NAPs.

 

[McWinniage]

The Republic extends trade agreements to any nation that is not Nazi Germany. The Dutch Republic also extends Non-Aggression Pacts to Dai Viet and the Neo-Chola Empire. It is the DRI's wish that the nations of the East Indies can prosper together.

50 into navies

Excerpt taken from the Jakarta Telegraaf
"...The Republic not only saw great growth in her colonies on the Philippines, which was admitted as an official province earlier this week, but also in her holding in Taiwan and Australia. Homesteaders have been flooding into the previously unowned territories after the Prime Minister announced his incentive plan for potential settlers who set up shop in the new colonies. It was also announced by the States-General that the Republic had indeed sent out diplomats to various places around the world in hopes of acquiring trade agreements, confirming the suspicions of many that the Republic was looking to set up embassies around the world. The Prime Minister was also spotted in the Neo-Chola and Dai Viet capitals, although the intentions of these meetings are currently unknown..."

Trade agreement as per the standard of other NAP+Trade Treaties accepted.

We're willing to sign a trade agreement. You don't plan on expanding into New Zealand, do you?

RE: New Zealand

We have seen your claims to New Zealand, and have no issue with you expanding there. We hope that you do not have similar ambitions for Australia, however.

None whatsoever. Shall we agree to respect one another's future territorial designs? Furthermore, we dare say that the Pacific could benefit from an alliance between our nations. Under our guidance, its peoples could be safer and more prosperous than they would be under any other powers with ambitions there.

The Kalmar Union has already set its sights on the island of Australia and surrounding Pacific territory. We suggest that the 'DRI' voids its claims to the region.

RNG: Governent Policies for the Turn are:
Plutocratic/Socialism/Closed Borders/Fixed Exchange Rates/Credits/Cosmopolitanism

We are all part of the human nation, and it is the responsibility of all governments everywhere to recognize this fact & work to bring our disparate peoples together.

Except when it comes to trade; the states of the world have 48 hours to get their merchants out of Milan before we shoot them where they stand.

Workers of the world: Now is the time to rise up against your oppressors! Strike down the filthy capitalist system & create a workers' paradise led by the former Capitalists, because hey- they were rich for a reason, they obviously know to runs things, right?

Edit: Since you're scrapping the 1 point per province thing, spend my remaining points to claim as much of Africa as possible in addition to the above claims.

Edit: Yeah, I redid my orders manually, disregard the above edit.

From: Y Wladfa

Pardon our intrusion, dear Scandinavians, but as a party also interested in this region, we have to point out that you never stated any intents on Australian territory in any previous published communiques, and that your nation is on the other side of the planet. The Dutch Republic of Indonesia has a much more solid and reasonable claim on this land, and we would like it if you didn't bully your way into the South Pacific.

The Republic agrees wholeheartedly with the proposed notion.

This is a ridiculous statement. The Republic's very capital is situated not a few hundred miles from Australia. We would deem it a threat to our national security if a nation half-way across the world started colonizing land right outside our doorstep. We kindly ask the Kalmar Union to pursue territorial holdings elsewhere. Perhaps closer to your own land?

The Republic agrees wholeheartedly with the proposed notion.

From: Y Wladfa

Prime Minister Owain has been authorized to sign a treaty of friendship and cooperation should your government consent.

 

[Ailedhoo]

I have 50 points.

I will be recruiting 20 armies and 9 navies with the use of 29 points.

Set 11 of the armies with 11 points for 11 land claiments.

Set 9 of the armies to be carried by 9 navies with 9 points for 9 sea claims.

As for my 80 income: I will set 27 into navies and 27 into armies. 26 navies will be used to carry 26 armies to make claims that are powered by 26 income.

Claims below:

 

[Tee Kay]

United Kingdom of Arabia

Income: 130

-18 armies
-47 navies
-18 land claims
-47 overseas claims

Claims:

Can I also please have a list of countries I have trade treaties with?

 

[W|M]

15 land. 50 navy.

Neo-Chola Empire. 130 income. 15 into armies, 15 into contiguous land claims, 50 into navy, 50 into overseas claims.

 

[mythmonster2]

west india man, you need one army, one navy, and one point for overseas claims, unless I am mistaken. You don't have enough armies for those claims.

 

[JohannaK]

United Kingdom of Arabia

Income: 130

-18 armies
-47 navies
-18 land claims
-47 overseas claims

You need armies for overseas claiming too.

Citizens of the Federación Democraticá Latina!

I am pleased to declare that our efforts to bring more into our great democratic union are to go well!

Florida will accept our invitation. The Mexican land we are to bring under our democratic federation will be of joy! As for our lands added south… going well! Such visions will be a good sign of not just the Federación Democraticá Latina but of all democracy loving peoples in the world!

I have a industrial vision! To further aid in the development of the Federación Democraticá Latina’s capital Esperanza Manantial I have set forth an offer to the world: I wish to set a World Fruit Conference in our glorious capital of Esperanza Manantial! This conference will invite all leaders to talk on the fruit markets, especially on pricing, worker rights and on why the world should buy our bananas! This will aid our fruit farmers and allow additional infrastructure in the metropolis of tomorrow that is Esperanza Manantial!

Glory to the Federación Democraticá Latina as we enter a new age!
