In the Beginning Was Napoleon: Game Thread

Idealist words from a thug who suspended elections for years out of fear of a plebiscite of his own people and resorts to unprovoked and massive violence to cement his power rather than attempt diplomacy, as his power flows exclusively from the barrel of a gun rather than any true moral or legal authority. I trust the deaths of tens of thousands of Polish lives that this was obviously and inevitably going to result in is your desired result.

My apologies for the murder of a kind diplomat. Poland will now be trying democracy, and 1920 will be its first national election. Now, we will give money to France, Germany, and Britain in order for A: an alliance, and B: Polish self-determination.

The only chains Poland is under are the ones you yourself have shackled it with. If you wish to transition back to a true republic, where the people are free to elect their own representatives without a man with a gun holding the ballot box, then we will happily assist you in this endeavor. First though you will need to negotiate reparations with France for the murder of their diplomat, likely including the extradition of the murderers. Negotiations cannot commence with people who casually murder diplomatic personel.

Alright, deal! (just the privates though). Maybe Britain and Poland can share freedom in the sun together (also I would request that your colonies could hold elections for independence).
 
The first democratic elections will be held in November 1920. Here are the parties running:
Liberal Party
Socialist Party
Monarchist Party
Libertarian Party
Chaos Party
The Other Socialist Party
Polish Party
Apolitical Party
Barbecue Party

Upon hearing of the horrific state sanctioned murder of French diplomat Louis Bergouis by Polish officials, I have formally recalled all Italian diplomatic personnel from the Polish Republic. If any Italian diplomatic staff are harmed, delayed or prevented from leaving Poland it will be considered a declaration of war against the Italian Empire.

No matter the nature of the dispute, arbitrary execution of foreign diplomats is completely unacceptable in the rightful conduct of international affairs.

Don't worry, we'll let you go by. Could you respect the self-determination of Poland? If not then I'm sorry (those diplomatic staff will not come home if you do not respect Polish freedom). :deal:

Man, I liked Mario better. :shifty:

Italy respects the self-determination of all nations in good standing with the Western Commission. However, self-determination does not mean freedom from consequences. We will not condone blatant violations of international laws and norms.

Our diplomats will be coming home now, unobstructed by Polish authorities.

BLATANT VIOLATIONS?! They were foreign aggressors!

Recent News: Boris Kudrezowitsch, a Polish diplomat, mysteriously dies in Venice. He was found with two bullet shots in his face and chest. People say that it was either his wife (who was in Krakow at the time), Polish agents or the Italian military.

In Boris' journal was a peace deal with Italy. This concludes that either Italy or Poland must have caused this murder. Polish president Janos Kazowski blames it on Italian military officers.

We have reason to believe that Polish Diplomat Boris Kudrezowitsch was assassinated by Polish intelligence in order to provoke a diplomatic incident between our countries.

In light of Poland’s utter disregard for the lives of its diplomatic staff, we will be conducting a thorough investigation into the incident and we will offer asylum and a generous relocation package to any Polish diplomatic staff who are willing to cooperate with our investigation.

Really? Then why do the papers (possibly Polish propaganda :shifty:) say that the Italians were the murderers?

If any diplomatic staff cooperates, they will die. Maybe their families too.

Germany, Hungary, alliance?

I know I may have killed a bit too many diplomats for a secret reason (only Britain and I know currently), so... (comes with a partition of Czechia if at least 2 members want to do so). I may join the Western Commission again if it ends up to that point.

Also sorry Crezth if I caused this game to go chaotic.

At the present moment, in terms of foreign policy, we can commit to nothing but the continued territorial integrity of our good friends in the Czech Republic from would-be aggressors. This would, of course, also include Poland's indignant claim to Zaolzhie, which, for the sake of peace, it would be best to drop at the present circumstances.

RECENT NEWS: Poland decides to cede Zaolzhie to the Czech Republic! This coincides with the soldiers who killed Louis Bergouis being BURIED ALIVE alongside 2 Polish diplomats.

(Currently, we are at 7 kills, should we continue or stop?)
 
It is somewhat impossible to cede something that isn't belonging to your nation, but we thank you for this peculiar, but, likely good-faith act.
 
Please act in a responsible way and stop shaking the pillars of geopolitical stability. Thank you.

Fine. I propose that we should create a Central European Bloc, with Hungary, Poland, Germany, Ukraine, Austria, Yugoslavia and Czechia as its founding members. Maybe Italy too, but I don't trust them.
 
Italy, would you accept an offer for alliance?

Hungary declines this being a party to this bloc along with any present new alliance offers. We are in the middle of reforming our government.
