Solitude University

Far from the high flung tensions in the Solitude White House and the Pentagon, University has been busy with two ongoing projects. The First, under the supervision of Dr. Kline, has been under way working on a Fusion Reactor. "We just need to generate enough heat to kick start the fusion reaction." The doctor turned to his assistant "Any word on the deuterium and tritium processing?"

"We've just received a shipment from the University of New York."

"Excellent. We'll start the test momentarily."

The deuterium and tritium were injected into the fusion coils of the reactor. With a flip of a switch, a quick whiff of O-Zone, a slight hum from the reactor itself. The scientists walked to the observation window, a thick pane of glass, to see the inside of the tube go from dark to an instantaneous orange glow. Dr. Kline turned to one of his assistants "What are the readings?"

"Were achieving fusion reaction. I'm detecting trace amounts of Helium-4 being generated from the reaction."

"Power levels at 2000Mw, 4000, 9000, 9500Mv!"

Dr. Kline rubs his chin and smiles with approval "Excellent, most excellent.". The Doctor continues to observe the fusion experimentation being conducted.

Oh, it just occurred to me. The Ottomans were nuked as well. So. Yes. Have at it. A rump state has been put in charge of Istanbul and some surrounding areas.

Basileus Matthew I is entertaining all offers.

Wait, is that another major NPC? Shouldn't you just break them into pieces like you said? :mischief:

Jehoshua · Dec 9, 2012

ooc: no its a minor npc, since most turkish land got depopulated due to an oubreak of a virulent strand of the rat plague to which turks were particularly susceptible, leaving a resurgent Byzantium to pick up the pieces in a few areas around Constantinople as a rump state, at tani himself said.

Incidentally this particular ditty was the last known expression of turkish culture before its extirpation. Filli Noctus can add it to his lodge thingy.

Tani Coyote · Dec 9, 2012

Indeed. The new land.

Matthew I [Byzantium]:

All trade heading through Constantinople is to be searched for settlers or regiments. We have also inherited the late Ottoman fleet, and will be using it to blockade the entirety of the Turkish coast. Proceed at your own risk.

===GM Remarks==

Also I just realised Veldin Germany should technically be a Papal client. Fixed.

Sorry about that, Sam and Jehoshua.

Japan disapproves of Canadian and Manx behaviours, but we consider it not a matter of our concern, and thus we will not intervene.

On another note, Japan disapproves of Romnesia's techniques to avoid others from claiming a land that isn't even theirs. We wholeheartedly request that the blockade be lifted, in the name of international law since Romnesia has no jurisdiction outside of its national waters, which most obviously do NOT comprise even half of the blockaded coast.

We would like to ask Hyontou for a mutual reduction of tariffs. Manchuria is rich in metals rare and common alike, and we would very much appreciate it if we could arrive to a mutual agreement of free trade.

NinjaCow64 · Dec 9, 2012

Due to negociations between our respective governments, the Spammer's Crusade and the Imperium of Man will resume trading and our embargo has been lifted.

The Imperial Army of Japan is advancing towards the last enemy positions. Clan Mogami still resists in Uden Province, and anti-unionist elements have taken the Kitaezo as their last reduct after losing most of Hokkaido.

Japan has taken Karafuto to cut supplies and materials that were reaching the rebel daimyos and factions, but our navy will be patrolling the areas around these regions to ensure that the enemy has no naval capabilities and that no more supplies can reach them. The sea zones marked in the following map are NOT blockades, but war zones, so we advise that ships avoid entering them. We would also like to point out that they are legitimate Japanese waters, but that are currently occupied by the last remnants of rebel factions.

The Imperium is pleased to declare it is releashing the notes of the meeting between the Imperium and Spamming Empire. Note that reforms on issues of spamming in the Empire of Man is being set forth. Observe but note thought that this is rough.

Papal Proposal on the German Question

-

Noting the current warfare between German brothers in the State of Germany, the Holy See has after discussions with Poland agreed to promote a ceasefire between the two sides in order to curb the senseless bloodshed. We would as such urge both german sides to agree to this in the interests of peace in Europe, and preventing the expansion of this conflict to a broader theatre.

After some time has passed in this ceasefire it is possible that an accomadation, with some compromises, can be made if both Germanies are willing that addresses the needs of both parties. The Holy See would consider that the partitioning of Germany into two separate states with some territorial transfer to ensure relative parity and access to the ocean for both sides is the best option. This has the support of both the Holy See and Poland and would ensure that the interests of both sides are catered for and that both states are able to engage in peaceful expansion abroad, rather than self-harming internicine warfare at home.

Regardless of either sides opinion on this latter proposal though, we would urge both Germanies to cease the conflict and accept a cease-fire arrangement, to enable dialogue to resolve this conflict, and ensure that many german lives are saved in this conflict of brothers.

Mitt Romney: A Public Announcement

"Greetings, friends. I have an announcement. As it is publicly known, the Republic of Romney wishes to strengthen itself through nonviolence and peaceful relations. As such, we have built up a large framework of friends and allies throughout the world.

I proudly announce the clients we will be purchasing in the coming year.

If a nation feels that they wish to acquire one of the above clients as well, the Romney Republic will be happy to drop out of the 'competition' in return for a small fee.

Thank you, and God Bless!"

We ask you politely to refrain from making Finland your client.

Blargian Germany:

Muy bonito! I can get back to embezzling public funds for my yacht!

The one true Germany accepts this agreement of course.

Veldin Germany:

!@$%^&*

Well three against one. I don't have a choice, do I? Veldin Germany, that elected by the People, accepts a ceasefire, and will for PR purposes refuse to call this a partition.

This ain't over, Drek. You can bet yourself we're going to find an "agreement."

Blargian Germany:

*Whrrrr!*

I'm sorry what? I can't hear you over all these welders putting together my new kilometer long super yacht!

Veldin Germany:

Sigh.

The Third Polish Union applauds the Germanic nations for their agreement.

I'll take that as an invitation then...

I saw a little hole in the Balkans, it would be real shame if something were to suddenly spring up right there...

New Sarajevan Bosnia

The once mighty city of the Balkans fell into disrepair and criminal anarchy under the influence of the Socialist Republic of Sarajevo. The city itself - though the greatest metropolis of the word stretching out thousands of meters above the ground - began to lose itself, the connection between the Government of Tier 42 and the slums of Tiers 1-3 was completely lost. Many officials didn't even know that there were slums down their. Most didn't know anything other than the few Tiers that they occupied and commuted to. So it came as no surprise when crime lord Srećko Adamić used the power and influence he had been amassing to assume control of the Sarajevan Government. Well, it did come as a surprise to those dwellers of the upper tiers... Srećko then reestablished the government so that all power flowed to him rather than to the Mad Prime Minister - Gavrilovich. However the misty city still seems as disorganised and nightmarish as it always had. Some wonder if Srećko really does hold power, or weather it is still Gavrilovich, or if Srećko too has gone mad.
Either way the regime change did little to change the fact that the Sarajevan Metropolis still lives up to its name:
The Nightmarish City of the Mad.

The City:

Sarajevo Metropolis is a sprawling expanse both outwards and upwards. Slowly as it got higher and higher more and more social stratification happened which lead to the formation of coherent tiers across the city as construction continued upwards. Each of these tiers was like a separate city built on top of the last much like a Wedding Cake or Towers of Hanoi. This increased Social Stratification and because of the heavily Socialist Government that was in control the majority of the upper tiers came to be occupied with clerks and other government workers. Left at the bottom were the poor and the criminals with new migrants joining them every day. The city was top heavy and as the population exploded it became increasingly bureaucratic and inefficient.
Then, some time during the 2060s Gavrilo Gavrilovich was elected into power as the Prime Minister of the Socialist Republic Of Sarajevo. His election promises included a complete reworking of the legal and Bureaucratic systems that were so crippling to society. It is said in the old legends of Sarajevo that at this point he tried to fulfill those promises, he tried to change everything. It's said that he tried to understand the system. No one understood the system.
This is when most stories say he went mad. Others say that he always was. But one thing for certain was that suddenly he was quit obviously insane. But something had changed in the city. By this point it had built so high up that it extended into the clouds - which were rendered continuous due to the permanent pollution and smog. But after Gavrilovich came into power there was no more building upwards - His office sat on the highest tier, Tier 48, and there has never been any further construction. This was the first noticeable part of the change, but soon it became evident, from the increased strain on asylums, that there was another change going on that was more profound and had an distinct impact on the mental health of the Sarajevans. Over the next 400 years this pattern continued, in 2255 all communication from Sarajevo ended to other nations the smog becoming too thick around the upper tiers to be penetrated. In 2232 the Big Five issued a decree of not allowing anyone in or out of the Greater Sarajevo area (this was promoted by the fact that the only people who came out of Sarajevo were lunatics - their sanity all but gone). For centuries the city rolled in its maddened obscurity, a nightmarish blemish, towering kilometers into the sky, on the face of the Earth.

In 2502 Srećko's revolution ended the obscurity. Sarajevo began to expand outwards into the surrounding areas, ruling over them with warlords on the payroll of Srećko. Yet as the influence of the monumental city continues to grow so does its malign influence on the human psychology. The Nightmarish City of the Mad continues to grow.

Some say he still writes notes, in purple ink on light blue soft paper, they say he signs it only with GG, that say the paper is so soft... So, so soft... Blue and soft...

Welcome to My City!

Link to video.

Government: Anarchic
Currency: Sarajevan Euro (archaic currency from times gone by)
Economic Policy: 10
Social Policy: 10
Both of which are maintained through the nightmarish society of Sarajevo, officially there are no laws anymore other than the law of the Adamić crime family yet still the malign influence that is supposedly rooted with the still alive Gavrilovich sitting on tier 48 seems to have a paralyzing grip on the economy and society of Sarajevo.
