Multipolarity III - Game Thread

[Jehoshua]

As the Holy See noted, it is not racism since demons are simply fallen angels, since the Holy See is self evidently not racist against the angelic orders there is no racism involved.

We thank you for your support for the rights of sentient's everywhere. Just because one does not have a mortal transient soul is no reason for hate. We have a dream, where one day a sentient will not be judged on his nature, but on his actions.

On the topic of specism we would like to know if you would be willing to find homes for kittens rescued from the continued kitten poker cartels that spring up in our empire. They keep going missing when placed within our own.

With your Switzerlandization stance we are happy to continue trading with your nation.

Cathisis: I would definately take those delightful Kittens in. YES! YES!!!

Invitations extended to both the Imperium and Spammers. Specify who you will be sending.

Papacy invitation revoked then.

Cathisis, Kenji and Yoshi Bovine.

Cathisis: But they're not fallen angels! What proof do you have that they are?

Spoiler :

Japanese is always a pain, especially the honorifics. Here especially, as you have to take into account both the rank difference and the familial relations. Suruge would obviously use "sama" for both of the others, but from there it gets worse. I guess that Inomasa could address Shimazu as "sama". That's perfectly valid, unless you want to really take into account the amount of respect held for the Shōgun, in which case you might want to use "ue". But the fact that the Shōgun isn't technically royalty makes it even more annoying. As for Shimazu to Inomasa, "sama" shows a little too much respect towards him, though they are family members. I suggest "san", though that might be too disrespectful. I dunno, there isn't much in between those two, apart from "dono", which is just plain not right.

Yeah, so that's why I decided to use only sama and san and be done with it, I don't actually know Japanese so I tried to keep it simple.

Since it's not in the update.

Three post-major power states are available for clientage. They had industrial economies, if not as strong as majors', larger, better armies, and are overall stronger. They cost more, however.

Cascadia - 26 gold
Shanghai - 24 gold
Byzantium - 21 gold

Purchasing these states will yield many navies to their suzerain's cause, and as such, I suggest you gun for at least one.

I'm going to buy them all. I'm quite serious too.
Thank goodness I haven't submitted orders

Studies say it's going to be a bloody fight for all those clients.

 

[Tani Coyote]

Economists have published some economic data to see trends:

Industry

2500 - 28
2501 - 46.88 (64% increase)
2502 - 104.31 (126% increase; 104 energy and 208 raw materials necessary)

70.3 energy is necessary to keep world militaries fueled, and 46.1 energy to keep the world fed.

Energy Production

2500 - 183
2501 - 312 (41% increase)
2502 - 508 (62% increase)

Raw Material Production

2500 - 277
2501 - 458 (65% increase)
2502 - 650 (42% increase)

The world already consumes 220 of its 508 energy units, and 208 of its 650 raw material units. The rate of factory growth far outpaces resource availability, and within a few years, it is expected that the abundance this generation has enjoyed will come to a screeching halt.

The streets of Peel were light in darkness during the funeral of Gilmore Flanagon, the Emperor that sunk. Peel, which had grown from a town that only had city status because of a cathedral, had become the playground of imperial power, towers high serving for housing, commerce, civil service and other services of the Empire of Man. The great cathedral was the centre of attention these days as a service had been held there. Even though Gilmore was excommunicated it was felt that a prey had to be given in feeling of mercy. Then the long march out of the (small) city, to a once quarry turned into museum for the Emperors of Man. Gilmore, having his body like John Flanagon before him not being present, would have a memorial set instead, although as mighty as the tall obelix of Emperor John. There, a dark bloc was raised, with the status of an imperial eagle deployed on it to reflect Gilmore’s imperial claimants for the Imperium of Man. On it read the words:

In memory of Emperor Gilmore Flanagon, son of Emperor William, brother of Emperor Phillip, father of Emperor Magnus and student to the teachings of Emperor Ulman.

May his name be remembered through history as a man who bought the Imperium of Man from the British Isle to claim a place in the Sun.

May God judge him with earnest wisdom.

May his elder son and his children lead us to victory.

By Divine Right we will stand tall!

Magnus Flanagon then stood in front of the memorial, reporters ready to record his voice for the news. Magnus spoke:

“I… have sorrow this day. Gilmore leaded me not just to this world but also to be ruler of a empire that reaches out into the world. I am grateful for that. As for his acts against the Pope… I am to work to continue the service of not making the mistakes of Gilmore. I am Magnus: student of the Baron of Rushan who I hope we find soon. When the time for me to rule with full power comes… I, with the aid of my twin Denel and other siblings, will do my best to enforce order in the Imperium, secure our empire’s prestige and ensure the piety of our flock is ever shining. There will be no mistake: while I am serve, I too serve the peoples of the Imperium. Glory be to God and the Imperium of Man which be set in the Lord’s desire!”

And so Magnus walked off. Sorrow would be that day. In a weeks’ time there be joy with the official crowning of Magnus by the Pope.

It should hopefully be a happy event.

Cathisis: Oi! Stay out of the Middle East! Byzantium is waaaaay too close for comfort for you to have!

The Big Five announce they will be giving Romney a run for his money.

 

[Ailedhoo]

The Imperium declares it will aim for one of the three. We suggest one heeds that as we place as much influence as possible into the deal!

 

[JohannaK]

We strongly advise Romney to refrain from further expanding his influence in China.

[A subtly different PM Image]

The UKNZ finds it interesting that the first of these images blacks out the names of the recipients, whilst the second does not. Is this deliberate, or are they completely seperate images? It seems that it would be far easier to use the image again rather than upload a new one, unless one had a reason for revealing these particular names...

We can also confirm that the second image is indeed genuine, and a copy exists in our diplomatic records.
