IOT XV: Clanking of the Swords

[Ailedhoo]

I have taken the liberty of making a wiki page for this game.

yon snip

We are going to have a little talk about you claiming in Germany.

 

[Ailedhoo]

The Imperium will support the stronger side; who ever comes at top of any border conflict around the Rhine will have our backing.

On the other hand we will not mind if a peaceful solution is founded and will be willing to sent our Imperial Chancellor to serve as a mediator.

 

[Civ'ed]

Lore time!

Spoiler :

me and RS have been talking about the issue of socialism, communism and fascism on chat. Here's what we came up with:

1. Marx dies in a duel in 1836
2. Engels does not do much with communism but leads the westphalian seccessionist movement (this also explains why I don't own westphalia)
3. Instead, Mikhail Bakunin comes up with anarcho-communism, and this replaces marxism
4. meanwhile on the fascist front Italy clearly isn't fascist, so it's not called fascism
5. instead Vaterlandism (placeholder name) is created in Austria. EDIT: Vaterlandism replaced by Dolvusism after complaints the name was silly
6. Hitler either joins an art school (ailed's idea) or dies in WWI in the Bavarian army (my idea)
7. Leninism becomes Jugasvilism and Trotskyism refers to the Mensheviks
8. sometime in the 19th century Paul Lafargue splits with Bakunin and creates something closer to Marxism (Lafargueism)¨
9. The Bakuninist Manifesto is written 21/2/58 and is inspired by the Prussian Revolution of 1848
10. Austria federalizes in 1848 following the Czech Revolution
11. Stalinism is now Zhukovism

Hmm I am going to need to co-operate on the lore for my state's ideology and with Rome especially due to the Roman images in my Imperium. Also my fellow American powers need to do a debate, especially on issue of the Panama Canal.

Panama could have been a Roman colony acquired in the 1870's which later declared independence. That explains the Roman images.

Timeline:

1820s: War of Independence of Brasil - The Portuguese manage to hold the north of the country and most of the interior.

1824: The Confederaçao do Equador succeeds in seceding from Brazil, only to fall in Portuguese hands. This will eventually lead to the independence of the rest of Brazil from Portugal as the area will be a major focus of unrest and insurgence.

1850s: The instability in Uruguay leads to repeated interventions by Brazil to preserve its interests in the country, which becomes de facto a militarily occupied state of Brazil, after a diplomatic solution is agreed to with Britain, which grants Brazil the support of Britain in territorial conflicts concerning Uruguay as long as Montevideo remains a free port.

1889: After a military uprising, the Republic of Brazil is proclaimed. Pedro II puts up resistance and manages to contain the rebels to the state of São Paulo.

1890-91: The Brazilian Civil War rages as the Republic of Brazil becomes the Republic of São Paulo. In 1891, Pedro II dies. The old Empire of Brazil has become a Republic.

1890s: War of Independence of Uruguay, in which Uruguay is finally incorporated to the Republic of São Paulo with a special status. In 1900, peace is signed and a new Constitution extends the special status to all states in the Republic. The Republic has become the Confederação Paulista.

The original time line had Panama declared its independence in 1821. I am considering around the 1820s to be the time as normal for the Panama to be independent, with the Imperium being born in the 20th century. That and it would not be difficult for a former Spanish colony to proclaim itself as a legacy of Rome...

 

[Civ'ed]

Of course, Roman conservatives fleeing Italy might also help.

Evil pretender, Rome already exists and follows it's Ancient Republican tradition.

We follow the glory of Caesar's successors. We continue Rome's imperial destiny. Panama is hence forth the third or fourth Rome.

Edit: Nevermind

Wrong. There is only one Rome, and it is our capital. Do you have Rome as your capital? No. We do. Do you follow the Republican Government of Ancient Rome? No. We do. So, we are the only real Romans and you are pretenders who want to steal our glory.

Guys. Please don't. The game hasn't even started yet.

Political Parties of Rome:

Social Republicans​

Led by Giacinto Menotti Serrati, the Social Republicans are left-wing. They support more money to be given to education and infrastructure and support isolationism. They want to focus on developing the economy.

- Giacinto Menotti Serrati

National Republicans:​

Led by Roberto Nanni, they are right-wing. They support more money to be given in the development of a strong army and the creation of large industries in the country. In foreign policy, they support foreign investment and want to takeover the other Italic States.

- Roberto Nanni​

Usually, whenever every six months Consuls are elected, since they must be from opposing parties, almost always Serrati and Nanni are appointed as Consuls.

The Austrian Empire:

(capital is the north-leftmost province, to be more specific, on Vienna)​

Government: Constitutional Monarchy.

Religion: The official religion is Roman Catholicism, but there are many orthodox and muslim minorities in the balkanic areas.

History:
At the 1840s, a large balkanic revolt occured. The austrian empire could hardly keep it's eastern part from splitting and lost the carpathian basin. But the rebels in the southern balkans were defeated and the austrian empire mananged to keep much of it's influence in that area. Despite this, the austrian empire mananged industrialize in the 1860s, which led to eventually defeat the prussians in a war, allowing them to restore much of the agricultural output lost in the balkanic rebellion.

However, the Hasburg monarchy eventually had to drop it's iron fist on the territories it still held, and allowed a certain amount of constitutional developement in where the nobles would restrict the power of the king and in addition, due to the petitions of nationalist parties, had to federalize in 1849. By the 1900s, the economy was very solid, though not enough to be considered an economic power save on the Balkans, where Austria dominates economically. In addition, Austria has developed trade relations with the CAR (if you don't believe me, see my profile as well as GreekAnalyzer's) in where Austria will give the CAR food in exchange for oil.

But eventually all good things had to come to an end. Austria suffered two wars in the 20th century. Austria fought against Russia in 1914, and thanks to the poor industrialization of Russia, they mananged to crush them but did not venture far into russian territory, for they feared that they would end up like Napoleon. 30 years later, Austria went into war with the Prussian Reich. They were crushed by the germans and had to move their capital to Zagreb but they mananged to keep on fighting until the end of the war. By the time the war ended, the one place Austria held was modern-day Croatia. After the peace treaty, which gave them their former territories, the once-modern city of Vienna was in ruins and had to be rebuilt. With the help of the still-friendly CAR, they rebuilt most of the city by 1950 and once again it's a very modern place. However, the bitterness with the germans still remains.

Noble party (wants to keep the parlament to nobles only) (50% of support)
Liberals (want to further reform the government) (30%)
Socialists (want to improve the condition of the people) (15%)
Doulvinists (want to roll back the constitutional changes and recover the former territories of Austria) (5%)
