Oi! I said the islands that had full regions, meaning the stuff that Katterland wants.

Screw it I'll just make my own map.

OOC: let's see of it is picked up now...

Oz announces that it wants peace!

Let there be no more fighting in Australia.

- Katter may keep the lands of Oz that it currently hold, even though they received them through and agreement they broke.
- Oz will renounce all claims on any lands in Australia with the exception of those it currently holds.

To Hungary
I politely ask you to to stay out of the Italian peninsula. I would also like to talk to you about buying the province or trading a claim for the province you already have there.

USSR

The USSR would like to propose a free trade agreement between the USSR and the Sultanate of Anatolia.

 

[Tani Coyote]

I suspect my reaction on the Italo-Hungarian Affair is approximately akin to the last panel here.

On that note, sending out VMs for orders due now.

Orders still needed for:

Caribbean
China (Empire)
East Russia
London
Partitionania
Rome
Sahara
Somalia

League of the Just

We need to set a time and day.

This will be fun...

I will send in orders within...6-12 hours of a response from Hungary, most likely.

On the Anatomy of Major NPCs

A "major" NPC is a player country that has been abandoned. Akin to the corporate city-states, they have a mixture of major human players and the tiny NPCs' features.

Control:

Unlike minor NPCs, they are controlled and personified by the GM.

Diplomacy:

Each NPC will have its own personality that it uses to decide what it does; the personality is primarily based on the retiring human players's sentiments.

Espionage:

Major NPCs -do not- conduct espionage except against minor powers, though they will conduct espionage against major powers if they are at war (or are pretty close).

Weaknesses:

After a player's departure, the country splinters into civil war, which the government has the favorable side in, but it nonetheless sets the country back a few turns.

Planned personalities:

Australian Victoria

Social conservative, fiscal moderate, anti-internationalist

Government: Nominal constitutional monarchy (increasingly absolute)

The Formati Empire saw increasing loss of sovereignty to Katterland, and in the wake of Oz's apparent defeat, they declared vassalisation so as to hold off Katter aggression. However, the ascension of the Formatics to another realm has left a deep void in the country. The new government has become increasingly authoritarian, seeking to empower the Catholic Church in the region, and passing more and more measures that harm the country for Katterland's gain. There was a brief civil war, with Catholics and Redeemers (those who pray for the return of the Formatic forces) supporting the government, and Protestants and post-Formatics (those who declare Formatter policy null and void) opposing it. The war ended with a Monarchist victory.

Cold towards: Bengal, Swahili
Warm towards: Katterland, London

Bengal

Social liberal, fiscal moderate, interventionist/regionalist

Government: Presidential Democratic Republic

Bengal was formed in the turmoil-ridden region of Bangladesh. Constant civil wars tore the country apart, not to mention persistent flooding. Hasty truces to try and prevent tsunami damage sowed the seeds of unification, and after more bloody conflict, the area was unified. Remembering its suffering, Bengal advances human rights and UN intervention the world over to support those rights. Bengal is not afraid to talk tough, however, having a powerful navy and army, and has announced its intent to control the Bay that bears its name.

Cold towards: London, Katterland
Warm towards: Union of China, Swahili

Catalonia

Social moderate, fiscal left, pragmatic

Government: Constitutional Monarchy

Catalonia is a balanced state, careful not to push itself into any particular extreme. They nonetheless usually follow the iniatives of the Guild of Calamitous Intent, their allies. This has made them part of the States' Rights camp by policy, if not by ideology.

Cold towards: None
Warm towards: London, Angola, Rome

Louisiana

Social libertarian, fiscal conservative, isolationist

Government: Presidential Republic

Louisiana follows the teachings of Libertarian thinkers such as Ayn Rand and Ron Paul. They are staunchly isolationist, which is probably the only reason they haven't married Somalia. They nonetheless work to undermine UN power at every turn and corner in defense of national sovereignty.

Cold towards: None
Warm towards: Somalia (While it approves of Somalia's system, it is wary of any binding alliance)

Prussia

Socially liberal, fiscal conservative, regionalist (only cares about Europe)

Government: Parliamentary Republic

Having arisen from a mixture of numerous ethnic groups integrated under the "Prussian" label, Prussia is akin to settler societies like Canada, Australia or the USA, having used its melting pot status to become fairly diverse and multicultural as a contrast to its peers. This has given it social liberalism, but the old elites have helped to entrench fiscal moderation. Prussian foreign policy is marked by realpolitik, true to form, and they only care about things that interest Europe directly.

With the end of its civil war, leftism has fallen out of favor in economic circles, making it staunchly conservative despite its alliance with the USSR.

Cold towards: Partitionania
Warm towards: USSR

 

[Red_Spy]

Wouldn't Prussia be cold to Partitionania due to the two states' arguments in the past and the claims Partitionania says it holds over the region? And it would be warm to the USSR considering they are allies.

Also, orders coming later.

Well if you want an enemy for yourself, happily obliged! Stats edited.

The Sultanate's First Steps in the Wider World​

The new election in the Sultanate of Anatolia's Senate has put the old Royalist party out power and replaced them with the Wadf party. The Wadf party has ended much of the Royalist's policies of isolationism and have worked with the Sultan to establish ties with other countries.

Recently the prime minister has signed a free trade agreement with the USSR with much applause from the many merchants of the city-states. Already many fine Turkish goods are making their ways to the USSR. The increase in demand for many Turkish goods has caused an increase in the industry of many city states and Samsun in particular as the producers try to keep up with the demand of their goods in new markets.

Like-wise many of the bazaars in Anatolia are now filled with foreign goods attracting the attention of the citizens. The cockroach specialty of the russians are selling particularly well after initial hesitation from many people towards them. They are particularly popular among the youth who were often the first to try it in their city on dares from their friends.

Recently the Senate has passed the Sultan's decision to join the Mediterranean alliance with Rome and Crusaders. The sultan announces that he hopes to continue to cooperate with our neighbors and keep the peace.

Another move by Senate was to send diplomats to Katterland and Rome with the intent of working out more free trade agreements.

I sence problems with having major NPCs...

I suggest we have a UN resolution set up on whether to have major NPCs or not.

New Port City, Earth

With the rest of the world involving themselves in the partition of Earth. Establishing what Coruscanti political commentators refer as "Spheres of Interests" to differentiate the misused term, "Spheres of Influence". The Republic has been keeping with it's own affairs in expanding it's own sphere of interest on the Japanese archipelago and South Korea. With Kintobor situated on Shikoku islands, the Republic placed the Island as an economic free zone. In the South Korean peninsula, a small flotilla lead by a guided missile cruiser Dawnstar, established a beachhead to facilitate expansion into the southern portion of the peninsula. Back in the main island, the Republic continues to expand.

With word of expanding and merging alliances. The Republic has taken a cautious approach and taken upon itself to remain non-aligned with an exception of potential defensive packs with her neighbors in the future.

Back in Republic Space, there has been a debate to hold the Galactic's Fair on Earth. Many cite that Earth's reputation for being a den of hostility as a concern for hosting the fair on Earth. Representative Samantha Holt has been in the process of a compromise to host a fair in the form of the World's Fair of centuries past.

Major NPCs do not exist within the scope of the IC game, so no resolutions on them.

Never mind my ability to control the rulesets entirely...

Major NPCs are meant to be taken care of until a player comes in to assume control. Instead of attempting to dispose of them, the politically savvy move is to get one of your buddies to come in and play as them.

Abandoned nations should be dissolved, not turned into NPCs.
