Multipolarity III - Game Thread

[GhostWriter16]

For anyone who doesn't want to deal with the numbers of resources, I am offering automation of resource allocation.

Automate.

Due to the delay in response from Cascadia, the House and Senate of Canada convened today, and David Baker has signed a bill known as the Resolution to reunite Canada.

The resolution has declared Canada to officially claim all territories in the old country known as "Canada", including those currently under Cascadian occupation. It has begun the ticking clock, and is giving Cascadia 72 hours (Real time) to either accept our offer for the Canadian territories, or otherwise counter. If they fail to respond, we will immediately impose sanctions and will ask the UN for permission to utilize military force.

 

[Patchy]

Automate please.

Annnd a preview of next turn's setup.

As you can see, the doors to open land areas are closing rapidly.

 

[Patchy]

This can only end well...

 

[Tani Coyote]

This isn't touching upon how eventually, supply of resources will be finite but demand will keep rising each turn exponentially. Fun times loom ahead.

OC: Say... is the isle I am claiming in the Med on the claim map? The one that is on the coast of Turkey? I cannot see it well.

IC:

The Imperium declares that Newfoundland is part of the Manx Empire, which Canada must respect. We also issue that Cascadia may disprove our observations of them as "weak" by resisting the demands of Canada. Let the strongest state prove to be in control of Canada but if one thinks Newfoundland should "rejoin" Canada via force... our Imperium will have right to annex your countries.

Rhodes was claimed by the Manx Imperium, yes.

Good.

Now the Emperor has his Med palace to construct, plus navy base.

 

[JohannaK]

Good, I'm already planning my expansion for the next turn. Nobody dare touch Karafuto or Hokkaido. For your best interest.

To Shimazu Satake

I am eager to see our trade links are stronger. I will to enshrine a trade deal with you involving the dealing of steel to your land. Our steel can be set to aid your industry, along our oil and uranium. In return we can do with food stock and other goods from your land, especilly electronic goods. We are even willing to trade in force labour if you desire. Our labour camps can either accept more workers or we can empty a camp or two by deporting the workers to your service if you desire.

Consider this for the trade wealth of our powers.

Gilmore Flanagon.

We are in no need of Nanban manpower. Which, on top of that, we infer its working conditions would fall in the category of slavery, which we greatly despise. We are only in need of iron ore. Steel production is our specialty, and as you may be aware, Japanese steel is of the finest quality.

In that case we will ship iron ore to your land in return for electronic goods. We can also trade wool for rice.

I would most appreciate a mere negotiated reduction of tariffs between our two nations. All Manx vessels will conduct trade trough the port of Okinawa, and will not be allowed to proceed into the Home Islands unless official permission is officially issued to an individual vessel. We warn you beforehand that only diplomatic missions will be issued such a permission, that the permission will be strictly to arrive to Kagoshima and Osaka and that the delegation will have to wait for its permit in the port of Okinawa unless it wants to be sunk by the Japanese Navy.

Understood. Our mining and shipping companies will be breifed on this.

May our nations grow in power!

As Manx has claimed NewFoundland, we would also like to enter negotiations with them in order to peacefully purchase both the territory and a guarantee that they will not expand further in Canada.

We offer 10 gold.

Never trust capitalist imperialists. We warn Canada that Manx will try to destroy.

To the Canadian goverment

You offer 10 gold for a important land for Manx industry?

Emperor Gilmore has laughed so hard observing yoru request that the Bishop of Peel had to come in to get him calm again. I am afraid Newfoundland belongs to the Imperim. We refuse to sell it. Its industrial importance for oil, ore and gas will aid fuel our ecomony. You will find oil and gas in other parts of Canada. You need not have Newfoundland which now is under the sovereign control of the Emperor, who by Divine Right has the right to make the Imperium of Man strong.

We suggest you seek not war with us, for that would lead us to conclude that your nation deserves to be fully annexed by the Imperium. Instead I suggest you note Newfoundland as Manx. We claimed it last year and this year it is serving our industry. Remember that we are using the ore to forge iron to make steel to send to you via the trade agreement we made with your nation. It is to your benefit that you keep in the Imperium good books... unless you want the Pope to join in our call to arms to commence the punishment of that which stole from what rightfully belongs to us via our grand culture. Consider hence that you should remain in peace. The Imperium would find it cruel to have to deal with your pre-developed nation. Our industrial trade will provide the charity to your country.

Heed wisdom and now that Newfoundland is Manx.

Baron Lonan Nelson of Rushan, Cheif Imperial Advisor to Emperor Gilmore Flanagon of Mann.

We would prefer a peaceful solution to war. We are more focused on Cascadia, who holds a far larger stake of Canadian intrafrature, and we would rather not have to fight with them either. This is also not for oil or gas. This is in order to unite the Canadian people under the Republic.

Would you perhaps consider accepting a larger sum? Would you trade Newfoundland for a larger price?

Namibia warned Canada. The Imperialists are not to be trusted.

Could we obtain your support for our Canadian claims? Even if you do not commit any resources, international support alone is deeply appreciated.

We do not think the nation of Canada is an unreasonable claim. It is an area of land containing about 7 million people. That's 1/1000th of the world population, and a people with a common cultural identity. With the exception of a few Quebec secessionists, the Canadian people want to remain together.

Canada is currently in a rough position, pinned against Manx on the right and Cascadia on the left. We'd like to make peaceful negotiations with at least one, if not both, of those hostile powers, even if we have to pay a higher price than we would like.

Cascadia should note that if they do not pull out of Canada, we will begin claiming territories in the Central United States and block their expansion. They should think well before continuing to occupy our land, lest we occupy there's and begin clashing for claims.

Newfoundland is far tougher, but it should be far simpler for the international community. Manx has no valid claim to it, they are a foreign power that is located in Europe and so has no rightful claim to North American resources. That we do not attack them on the spot is an act of mercy.

We repeal all trade agreements with Manx, and refuse to trade with them at all, until the NewFoundland situation is resolved. We request international support that Canadians, rather than a foreign power, should control NewFoundland.
