Multipolarity III - Game Thread

In that case, we accept.

 

[GenMarshall]

Tani, can you PM me my stats?

Can I get my stats please?

This...

...I never gotten my secret stats when I asked for them in my orders PM.

 

[Tyo]

That may be because GMs dont check order PMs until it comes to doing the update. I know this by experience.

 

[Tani Coyote]

Indeedy. I don't usually address questions/requests in orders PMs before update time. It's best to send such requests separately to get them prior to update.

 

[Tani Coyote]

Orders lock in 20 hours.

Kazakhstan and Canada are due for termination and relegation to minor status unless Red Spy and Dommy get orders in.

That's just plain irresponsible.


Guinea's cabinet ministers, the Leader's fellow, as-yet unassigned officers, and a handful of civilians who in the largely unsettled post-civil-war atmosphere had accidentally wandered into the building, were gathered around a small table, where Hitler was poring over a map of the world, the game stats, and the MP3 ruleset. Sighing defeatedly, he leaned back in his chair. "Well, I can't make heads or tails of this <redacted>. I mean, seriously: Iceland??" He gestured to the map. "How that <redacted> did they justify Iceland?

"Anyway," he turned to Krebs, "Did you find out what's the deal with this supposed occupation by the Manx?"

The general leaned in, pointing to Greenland. The Leader stared in disbelief. "It was conquered toward the beginning of the game," he explained; "Evidently that front closed long before we got involved."

"What the <redacted> <redacted> was he doing all the way up there?" he asked nobody in particular. "Well, whatever. If it's on the stats I guess it's technically still our responsibility. Someone get it sorted out. Next order of business... oh right, health and welfare."

The gathering shuffled about, and a bald man with a sad-yet-determined expression approached the table. "Schenck," Hitler nodded, "What's your verdict?"

"Catastrophic," he said plainly. "Even the hospitals that aren't shot up suffer brownouts and shortages on a near-daily basis. Health care was underfunded at the best of times, and surviving services are overtaxed; an epidemic could shut down the country."

"We could muster the material supplies," Speer put in, "It's more a problem of shipping them out. National infrastructure is a wreck."

The Leader scanned the stats sheet again. "Budget's not hurting... Hell, we could probably afford the reconstruction plan for this year and still have enough left for that aid package."

"Assuming we set aside the reconstitution of the army," interjected Keitel.

"<redacted>, the army," Hitler rolled his eyes. "Don't even get me started on the army." A silence followed; a number of the German officers leaned forward, faces expectant. "No, I have not sorted out the chain of command; yes, I will let you know when I've finished; no, I'm not gonna drop any hints now. If you're only hanging around here for that, then piss off; it's no wonder I can't breathe."

Half of the staffers exited dejectedly.



Guinea proposes summit for currency review

NCHEKWUBE: In response to continuing economic recession in the wake of the salvo of trade sanctions imposed on the former state of Romnesia, the new government of Guinea is inviting its economic partners to a diplomatic round-table to develop a concerted action plan to revitalize the economy.

The proposal is the government's first formal public overture to the NSRA's ex-allies since consolidating its power following the end of the civil war earlier this year. Observers believe that in addition to addressing the postwar economic slump, the conference is an attempt by the new government to reinforce the diplomatic ties it inherited during the takeover.

The announcement, made yesterday, is not based on any known prior consultation, and the agenda of the meeting, which the Ministry of Trade describes as "currently [...] a preliminary gauge of interest", has not been specified. Observers strongly predict that based on prior government statements, it intends to investigate whether to replace the ailing U.S. Dollar with a new common currency.

Thus far, the countries of interest have yet to respond.



To the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Imperium of Man
From the Ministry of External Affairs, Guinea

Salutations from the united nations of Guinea. As the successor government to the Romney Republic and National Socialist Regime of Africa, we have recently gained information that during previous hostilities between Romnesia and the Imperium of Man, Manx forces achieved military occupation of Romnesian territory. Although the conflict has since ended, either through formal treaty or mutual disinterest, the fate of the occupied territory was not resolved. As the successor government, the Guinea Liberation Front has inherited statutory responsibility for this issue, and wishes to begin formal negotiations for a mutually agreeable resolution to the ongoing dispute.

Cordially yours,

Walther Hewel
Minister of External Affairs

The Spammer's Crusade moves to remove Guinea off the HITSGDP no trading list. From recent reports inside the country, they seem to want to rebuild rather than destroy. There is no reason to blame them for the awfulness that happened during the past two regiemes.

 

[Tani Coyote]

Indonesia is fully in favor of overturning the embargo against Guinea.

Hyontou, also, due to lack of opposition to its entry, is to be counted as part of the HITSGDP from now on.

To: the HITSGDP
From: The Papal States

-

The Holy See, with regards to overturning the embargo against Chile, opposes, pending some sort of recompense for the atroctity perpetrated against papal state civilians, who were murdered by its predecessor (of which Guinea is legal successor of) as they were engaged in peacefully settling an outpost on the West African Coast in the interests of providing a haven for those persecuted by Gaydolf Hitlers regime. Guinea can hardly be said to be any different from its predecessors in nature if it has no concept of the demands of justice, it must show it is different through its actions, not through words that could well be hollow.

The cession of that same province being settled or some other satisfactory recompense in addition to appropriate justice against the remaining perpetrators would convince us to change our mind on this matter, and incidentally establish in the mind of the Holy See that there is no longer a cassus belli to be held against the state of Guinea due to the advent of genuine change.

To Guinea
CC: The Manx
From: The Holy See

As the suzerain of the Imperium of Mann at the present time, the Holy See is ultimately responsible for defending the interests of the Manx as per the treaty of clientage established between the two nations. As such any diplomatic enquiries regarding the Manx are to be sent to the Holy See, which will discuss the pertinent issues with the Manx in order to ascertain their position, before negotiations between the Holy See and Guinea begin based upon that position with the Holy See acting acting as advocate for the Manx position.

Ergo, the Holy See asks that the State of Guinea submits its request via appropriate channels.

To His Holiness.

Although I am classed as your client let me remind you that I am a ruler of a sovereign state and that the kings of old interacting with each other instead of relying on the Papal States to speak for them. As such I am starting to consider that the clienting might have been... a questionable move. As much I have a revisionist suggestion: the Imperium will conduct full on foreign interaction. The purpose of the clienting was as a emergency defence messure but we are confident we can convert now to set a simple defence pact.

Consider well.

To Hitler of Guinea.

We will heed your considerations. The crimes of Romney where the crimes of Romney. We will seek diplomatic talk, especilly on issue of ecomonic trade. I will set Thomas Abelson, my Cheif Imperial Advisor, to your land. No need to speak to the Pope on the issue. We are a soveriegn power.

Glory to God and the Imperium!

==Gerudo Revolution==

The Gerudo government under Supreme Dark Divine Lord King of Evil Ganondorf Dragmire has returned to power after a brief ousting by a group known as the REDSPYA. Business as usual, though the routine purging of ex-officials has caused an economic crash.

==Ousting of Canadian government==

In recent elections the Canadian PM and his Cabinet have been thrown out of power by the invigorated Dove Coalition, which understands the war will not end any time soon. Constant war has left the country with an economy that is half the average GDP for a major power and 1/3 the HDI. Understanding the Cascadians will never accept peace with Canada when they still have so much to gain and fearing Canada may attempt to annex sovereign Cascadian territory, the new government has written off the old territories.

As such, the Canadian War has ended with Cascadian victory. Canada now lies broken and eager to rebuild after constant military campaigns against Romnesia and later Cascadia.

==Ancient Agricultural Processes Discovered==

Discoveries by a team of scientists and archaeologists from a variety of backgrounds have uncovered old processes such as nitrate fixing. The food yield per energy is so enormous now that vertical farms' consumption of energy is negligible. It is believed this will relieve pressure on industries the world over.

To The Imperium of Mann
CC: Guinea
From: The Holy See

-

Understanding that the article of the treaty with regards to "defending the interests of the Imperium of Mann" can be interpreted multiple ways, The Holy See shall not protest the Imperium engaging in an independent dialogue with Guinea without our direct involvement. The Holy See has always defended the sovereign rights of nations, and as such accepts the imperiums wish that we refrain from advocating for its position on the matter within a united Catholic front.

We note to Guinea as well that the Imperium of Mann retains, despite any misunderstanding regarding Papal intentions and positions in this matter on the Imperiums behalf, our full support in the event of hostility between it and foreign powers. As to the treaty itself, any change in the treaty would have to be agreed upon bilaterally.

ooc: I think you're misinterpreting what I intended. I was basically asking Guinea to message Il Papa as well in order that a defence of the manx position could be engaged in by the Papal States could proceed in collaboration with the Imperium. This being through the paradigm that you'd tell me what you want, and the Papal States would advocate for that using its diplomatic weight on your behalf.

That said the issue doesn't really concern me, so Im happy if you want to do it by yourself with the parameters of "defending manx interests" being recalibrated to one of "paternal oversight" to one more along the lines of parrallel advocacy.

Seeking Papal aid when it is convienent and rescinding it when it is not is not how things work.

Also, you are not a sovereign nation, you are a client state to the Papacy.

This isn't really the place to advertise this.
