Multipolarity III - Game Thread

OOC: I knew it! The Throne of St Peter is a super-secret Catholic mind control device! You devious papists.

OCC: Actually it's a super secret Lizard mind control device. :p
 
OOC: Naturally I was referring to the Vatican and all that entails. Also Il Papa refuses to confirm or deny posession of advanced technology from before the technological degradation of the stupid ages of the 23rd century.

OCC: I love how we've been able to mutate an OCC conversation to a OCC and IC conversation at the same time.
 
OOC: Save that its totally ooc, and rather a commentary.

And on a completely unrelated note, post-conquest of the middle east Il papa is going to have to retrofit/construct churches there with photocatalytic air purifiers calibrated with a nanostructured gold catalyst suitable to the climactic conditions. Which is to say bring the stained glass window to the middle east with all associated expenses. So much for Pope Palpatine III to think about no? :p
 
FEAR Retreat from Poland

Holding open elections overseen by officials from Costa Rica and Tropico, all the provinces Russia occupied from Poland were asked whether they wished to continue on as part of the FEAR or be granted independence. While 4 provinces swung to the Russian side, 15 Polish provinces decisively voted for independence.

In accordance with this policy, most FEAR soldiers have retreated from the region, while some remain behind to serve as security forces until the new Federal Republic of Poland has its own.

The Stoyanovich government has set up a clear division of authority between itself, the new Republic, and Old Poland.

FEAR:

-Is responsible for the foreign policy of East Poland
-Must protect East Poland from any threats as a corollary to the prior condition.
-Shall enjoy privileged trade status in East Poland

Poland proper:

-Shall have its head of state also serve as the head of state of East Poland.
-Shall have all its laws apply to East Poland.
-Shall have a single market with East Poland.

East Poland:

-Shall have the ability to manage its own security and economy, with an economy and military separate from both FEAR and Old Poland’s.
-Shall, being in a democratic personal union of sorts with West Poland, have the right to pass its own laws provided they do not invalidate those of the other Polish government.
-Shall at any time be able to able to peacefully integrate with FEAR via provincial referenda, whether in whole or in part

Grigor apologises for the transgressions of the prior regime, and has announced his intent to use reparations to build up East Poland’s woeful economy.

Traitors! We protect the populace and this is how they reward us?!

We will consider the introducion of making demonstrations punishable by labour camp or death. In the mean time we will ensure that our ecomony will be set on track.

As for the riots: these must have been the result of foreign agents! The Emperor will be advised whether or not to increase the profiling of citizens, especilly immigrants so we can search for spies.

Excellent! Glory to the light of the Imperium of Man gives to the world!

something tells me you aren't taking the decline of your nation too well. disband most of your military, and focus on improving your economy.
 
Coup in Mozambique – Lucifer has been replaced by pro-Guinea Gabriel. However, another coup restores a pro-Namib Lucifer. Civil war ensues.

The coup of Gabriel is an illegal attempt to take over by force power in an independent and allied to Namibia state.

For those reasons, the Namibian military shall help the legal government of Mozambique to crush the rebels and end the civil war.

We also urge Guinea not to try to help the rebels, because their actions are illegal and will damage the good relations between our two nations..
 
Lord Terios announces his retirement; his fleets have been distributed between the NGOs. They are now the source of any and all piracy.

Turn XII (2511)

Map

Stats

Summary

At 11.059 trillion GDP to 9.587 GDP, ARMS has displaced the HITSGDP as the world’s most potent economic force. It is attributed to the destruction of numerous HITSGDP governments in the past year, and the growing economic power of Russia and its allies as they monopolise raw materials markets.

In a surprise invasion, the Papacy, with assistance from Aden, Sinai and Byzantium, has all but destroyed the Spammer homeland, with Manx seizing control of Egypt in a coup and Aden using the opportunity to acquire Oman, Iran, and Kurdistan as new, extremely-dependent clients. The Crusade has found a new home in Canada, after many citizens voted to turn the land over to the Spammers; regardless there have been hints of nuclear tension between the Papacy and the Spamaltese government, and PATO has shown concern of the war spreading to North America.

ARMS now rules over Southwest Asia. With the return of the despotic Marius to Tibet, Afghanistan is the last free nation in Southwest Asia not ruled by some tyrant, surrounded by dictatorial regimes and their allies. Afghanistan has the support of Guinea, which also is the backer of the Redstone regime in Sri Lanka, another Asian nation that is surrounded on all sides by ARMS or hardline governments.

Tropico continues to lead the world in industrialization and goods quality, and its space program is reputed to be superior to all rivals. While all major powers have space programs of their own, Tropico stands out by far as the economic power, its only main weakness being very poor domestic resource production.

With Mozambique split between Namib and Guinese factions, it is suspected that the two countries could face a Cold War in the near future as they battle for control of southern Africa; Guinea seized control of Namib client Chad some time ago, but this is a direct confrontation.

Border Disputes

New Zealand-Papacy: 2

Crickets. No not the sport. This likely won’t resolve itself short of a war.

Events

Several occupation zones have ceased to exist.

Riots in Manx over persistent poor economic policy. Many investors have withdrawn their funds from the country, causing a large stock market fall.

With fear over pending war, investors have become less eager to put money into Namibia and Manx. The focus has instead shifted to New Zealand, with a relatively low rate and very low inflation, as well as continued neutrality and security.

Energy prices have begun to rise again after a mass buying of the resources

Consumer consensus has shifted towards interventionism, with populations the world over now accepting 30% as a reasonable net tax rate.

Many Japanese men and women have contributed funds, manpower and their own careers to try and expand the Japanese navy, so as to keep up with New Zealand in the arms race.

Uprisings

Every turn occupation damage is dealt to an occupier; 1 army per 5 provinces, and 0.05 Industry per province. This is default; actual triggered rebellions can intensify the effects.

Aden – 1 army, 0.2 Industry.
Byzantium – 2 armies, 0.5 Industry.
Papal States – 2 armies, 0.55 Industry.
Russia – 1 army, 0.15 Industry.
Sinai – 1 army, 0.3 Industry.
UKGB - 1 army, 0.25 Industry.

Union of Nations

The UN has seen two internationalist measures by the Spammers’ Crusade in an attempt to strengthen the UN thwarted, surprisingly enough with Guinea’s aid on both counts. With ARMS forces holding the deputy positions for the next four years, it is expected the UN will produce nothing of note.

For 2510-2514, the General Secretary is Costa Rica.

Being elected as general Secretary grants 100 influence points. Deputies earn 25 points per term.

Deputies

2510: Indonesia / Spammers
2511: Aden / Solitude
2512: Guinea / Aden
2513: Aden / Solitude
2514: Guinea / Sinai
 
You know... that is a nice area that Byzantium controls. i would prefer the current arrangement.

also.. um... i destroyed my own economy. god damn it. then again, i suspected that would happen since only one Byzantine army was actually destroyed. i thought id lose most of them.

Emperor Andreas I will resolve the Economic crisis as soon as possible. this means cutting the military down to size.
 
Well as it stands there's no economic cost to keeping an army. Cutting it back would give a few raw materials but otherwise serve no benefit.

Buuuuut, having it so excessive militarisation carries economic penalties probably would be a good, quick mechanic to implement. Thanks for the idea Math!

um. oops. sorry guys. better disband some of your military before Tani here implements my oh so wise idea.

anyway, if its not the military, then what is causing the Economic drain?
 
The Return of Romney


Link to video.

In news across Russia... a massive bright flash was seen, many have speculated it to be a meteor of sorts. Well, they are wrong. You thought it was a meteor? It was actually a return vessel!

The reaction of the average Russian citizen:


Link to video.

The return craft landed.. over Russia, the protective covering having shattered into many pieces. Who emerged from the wreckage? Could anyone have survived such an intense re-entry?

I'm back, comrades!
 
Math, you've been away for far too long.

PF's well-known for his ability to make the most profit within the framework of the rules.

Ergo, this should be fun now that he's ruling one of the strongest countries on Earth.

===

As for the militarisation penalty. Going over 2% of your population in military units (both navies and armies are counted as one for the purposes of the equation) will begin to incur economic penalties. To the tune of an extra 1% inflation per turn per 1% over 2.

As it stands:

How 'bout instead of butchering everyone you see, we the suzerains try to settle this dispute peacefully?
 
OOC: PF, at least make sure he gets elected in RP. that way you can respect the recent developments their.

IC: I dont know what to say about what just happened.
 
oh wait. its 2% of the population, not 100%.

anyway, i still need to know what caused the collapse of the GDP.
 
How 'bout instead of butchering everyone you see, we the suzerains try to settle this dispute peacefully?

Ok, but first I will tell you that:

1) I will not accept Mozambique to be divided.

2) I will not accept Mozambique to be ally of anyone but Namibia.
