As for stating everything out loud, I said nothing that would not be readily observable to someone thinking about my actions in-depth. It obviously hurts Britain, even if just a little bit, as well as the other European powers and America who have stakes in the Chinese economy. My main hope would be that people had already thought that much about everything; if not, well, I suppose I can hope at least a few will remain in character and not exploit information they don't necessarily know in game.

Anyways, let us stop bickering about the falsity of my decision. It is already made, we will see if it was a good one or a bad one after the next few updates.

Pointless bickering? I'm making people aware of facts stated in such a way as they will take actions I consider advantagious to my side. If you want I could have go IC and put it as an politician writing an Op-Ed piece in the FT. Plus having you say it makes it far more convincing to say...America than me telling them directly , especially as they may not have thought about it in depth.

You can consider it however you want. For me it is fairly pointless. Besides, what are Britain and America going to be able to do to the Prussian Union? We are fairly well placed so that you would have to go through the narrow gap at the Baltic or have France as an ally to attack mainland Prussia. At the moment, Prussia wishes nothing more than to be left alone and be allowed to continue trading with its neighbors and, possibly, repairing relations with France and Russia. Really.

EDIT: And, know that I have thought about it, I feel like pointing this out to anyone who might be listening such as, in your example, America. The Prussian Union has deliberately signed treaties that only obligate it to come to others aid in a war in which they are not the aggressor. As such, the Empire of Japan will not drag the Prussian Union into any wars that another nation does not start. No Pearl Harbor will make the Prussians declare war on the United States of America.

Stand aside when France and Russia crush you like a bug ? Russia wanting poland and control of the baltic, and France wishing to remove a strong independent actor from central Europe...

A decent answer. We will see what happens.

To: Switzerland
From: Bavaria

That works for us, as long as the mod gives it a thumbs-up.

EDIT: Ignore, kthxbai

EDIT2: Found something meaningful to put here.

To Quebec
From Mexico

As part of the North American Joint Research Group, could you provide your 2 IC of private enterprise as funding for our research into Improved Electrical Understanding? Mexico finds itself unable to build shiny new battleships and finish this tech in 1908.

Actually, looking at the nation backgrounds and some talk I have been having with Russia, there are two things wrong with that statement:

1) In this time line, Russia and France are not allied.

2) Russia's adversity towards Prussia may change soon.

That being said, I think my position is fairly secure. And, like I said, Prussia does not wish to go to war with anyone at the moment.

I'll love to take a problem child.

Qing China for me please.

Luckymoose, could you just tell me china's current diplomatic situation?

 

[D'Artagnan59]

Welcome aboard, Warman!

I'm America.

Not very stable, but not impossibly far from salvation. Increasing Japanese domination in various markets throughout China. Small but growing rival political factions. Like say small socialist movements and so forth. Pretty much a slowly dieing nation.

To Vietnam
From Empire of Japan

We propose we combine our research on the Internal Combustion Engine.

 

[carmen510]

@Lucky: Is the tech-sharing/combined research effort fine with you?

 

[Luckymoose]

@Lucky: Is the tech-sharing/combined research effort fine with you?

It always has been.

 

[carmen510]

Thanks for telling me that.

Orders to come soon, because I have very little other interest in world affairs.

 

[carmen510]

Orders sent.

We have already spoken to the United States, and this can and will be done.

Au révoir,

Prémier Ministre Martine Guillmette

sp1023: That still doesn't change anything. It takes time to increase IC, and Lucky is the one who increases IC, not you.

I was asking him!

To the Kingdom of Italy:
From the Hellenic Republic:

We propose a trade, across the Mediterranean, which will profit us both.
