how quaint
 
The Percentages given by the calculator are for each province you try to colonise or your over all chance?

The former.

"Targets" refer to the number of provinces you attempt to colonise in one turn. The territorial strength is the strength of one of the provinces.
 
ooc: could you repost a link to the colonisation calculator, (or put it in the social group)? The one I get from your link only brings up the espionage calculator for me, unless of course, as usual, I am missing something obvious in plain sight.
 
ooc: Ah yes, I had the wrong format of excel so i couldn't see the fact there was another page.
 
Blargh. So, no expeditionary force to Istanbul. poor d00dz, I thought it could provide some training to my fleet... :mischief:
 
Turkey, Bosnia and Muscowy have declared war on Istanbul
The Caliphate of Hejaz has declared war on Turkey
Bosnia has declared war on the Caliphate

New declarations of war are now closed.

Response declarations by allies and defence partners of participants can still take place in the next 48 hours.
 
Rule Changes

Colonising no longer costs IC
You can colonise even without 5% cultural share
You are now limited to colonising a maximum of five provinces per turn

Right in the update. :P
 
The Imperial Declaration of Greater Indian Protection of 1815

Being on the Indian subcontinent, populated by Indians, and ruled by Indian-born rulers, the following navy blue territories are hereby under the protection the Emperor of Vijayanagara. The green territories are also under the protection of the Emperor, but are also under the claim and protection of the Gentleman's Council of Port Hadley, and those claims are respected by the Emperor.
Any attempts to breach these claims will not be taken lightly by the Emperor.
India is for nations who are willing and able to protect the rights of the Indian people above all else, not imperialist foreigners.

The Second French Empire hereby declares war upon Bosnia and Anatolia for the severe crime and mistake of invading our ally in Istanbul for no apparent reason other than a lust for territory.
 
I'm updating the embassy directory, and it seems that Nunavut, Tibet, and Czechoslovakia lack embassies at the present time.
 
No apparent reason? He's holding our Slavic brothers (Bulgars) in bondage I hereby declare we wish to liberate them and unite them with there Slavic brothers.

Minister for Trade Report to Parliament

The Minister for Trade is pleased to report that the Free-Trading environment setup by the Parliament of Sweden for the Scandinavian Union has been very successful. Advertising our trade goods in the various letters to embassies have worked.

The Ports

The Ports of Bergen, Oslo, Copenhagen, Stockholm, Malmo and Gothenburg are all flourishing with this new trade.

The Trading Partners

The new trading partners; Nuovo Milan, British, Kongola, Singapore, Istanbul, Chinese, U.N.S.A., Prussia, Venediciya, Wagadou, Muscovy, Portugal, Turks, Hedjaz, Yugoslav, Vijayanagara, Pyrenees, Gonder, Korea are all free to send their ships to our ports, so long as they are flying their respective nation’s flags. The Papal States is the only nation that has rejected our trade goods, so its ships are not permitted to land at our ports.

UPDATE: France has now also rejected our trading goods.

Exports

Norway’s Wood, Sweden’s Iron Ore and Copper and Danish Fish have all being well received in many nations of the world. The landowners of Norway and Sweden, who are mainly Monarchists, are making large fortunes from these exports of wood, iron ore and copper. The Danish fishermen, who are mainly Lantmannas, are also doing very well. There seems to be lots of work available for woodsmen, miners and fishermen, many of whom are Democrats are pleased with the increased work available and wages offered.

Imports

The letters to the various embassies have in most cases being reciprocated with offers of additional imports. The merchants, who are mainly Republicans, are doing very well with having new goods to sell to the people. These goods include; Rubber, Tropical Fruits, Tropical Fish, Tea, Opium, Cotton cloth, Furs, Whale Oil, Coffee, Bananas, Gold, Ivory, Salt, Oranges, Wool,Pottery, Silk and many unspecified new goods.

Summary

The increased trade in goods has brought prosperity to all sectors of society (Monarchists, Democrats, Republicans and even the Lantmannas) and the people are feeling very happy, even though they still harbour slight concerns about the effects of war in other nations may have on them. They hope the Scandinavian Union's Neutrality position will avoid war here.
