Multipolarity IV Game Thread

[arya126]

but... you are in Siberia. the only ocean you have access to is in the arctic sea, and you don't control any large cities up there.

it would make more sense for the Army doing all that.

I hope Bosnia annexes you. Stay on your side of the world you annoying Cyprian twerp. If you wish to tell us how to run our country, then I am afraid you must invade and occupy us first, otherwise you are merely running your mouth. Our navy is held in great esteem in our country and we will not see it insulted like this, nor will we see the army of all things given such an honor!

 

[Mosher]

With approval from the Golden Master, the Golden Horde is hereby requesting admission into EREI with Germany and Britain. Geographically a small portion of the Horde lies within Europe, and so the name is of no concern.

The Golden Horde is also issuing an embargo against Azerbaijan until it removes its fat, slimy tentacles from Rajputana, Afghanistan, and Mongolia.

===

Britain accepts the Golden Horde's admission into EREI and presumes Germany will also have no quarrels.

Britain also repeats its offer of joining the Initiative to Iceland and Arstotzka.

What's the EREI again?

jeez who pissed in your coffee Grand Admiral? I'm using logic, as we Cypriots always do... there was no offense intended. and we are offended that you think we meant offense.

maybe you forgot to tell us that northern Siberia is already heavily settled, and would therefore support a large navy? we don't keep track of everything.

We didn't realize we had to explain our every move to a OPM that has no place in our affairs. Now, please, leave us alone.

Antioch, we humbly ask you to keep a tighter leash on your friend. We are unsure of the exact relationship between you whether it be protectorate or otherwise, however if Cyprus refuses to stop bandying meaningless and irritating words with us, we will be forced to consider aiding the Bosnian war effort.

Well to be entirely fair the Arctic Sea is a pretty bad naval base no matter how you land it.

For Sonic's sake can anybody open this thread without deciding how unlikely my nation is? Should I begin counting off the other dozen unrealistic things that are in this world, such as a nation full of foxes, the combat and casualty system, the magical airlift of 75K men into Sweden, or maybe how unborn babies contribute to public opinion? Or how syndicalism and all other forms of socialism and communism would never see this much success in the real world?

If you can play as a successful syndicalist nation, then I can darn well play as a naval power on the Arctic sea.

 

[Mathalamus]

Cyprus Apologizes to Siberia for basically questioning the core policies of the nation. this is 2222, not 2013, so obviously the ice caps would have already melted and you can use the ports year-round, not to mention that 200 years is ample time to settle the area, upon the loss of every other warm water port.

so its Completely possible that Siberia can be a naval oriented state.

 

[Double A]

I give them death. Lots and lots of death.

Mostly because I'm not eager to rip my hair out over different slave mechanics.

I suppose one could set their rate to 0 as slaves/POWs/servants all generate a flat bonus that doesn't depend on work rate.

Totally RPing that as their contract ending.

Speaking as a magical floating head, your nation is extremely silly.

 

[Tani Coyote]

As promised, the Horde gets a massive influx of IP to make up for the loss of Siberia.

What's the EREI again?

The European Research and Energy Initiative; it's a joint research program that pools the research efforts of European countries in pursuit of nuclear power. So far the Horde, Britain and Germany are members of it; Britain would love for Iceland to join the program.

successful syndicalist nation

I'm just going to say there has never been a syndicalist nation that wasn't crushed after a short period, never mind cooperatives are the same as the current system of shareholders, just with every person in a company being a shareholder instead of a shapeless mass of investors.

However, this is not Off-Topic, so let's try and avoid making the thread political... (I may be open to discussing such things in a separate thread however)

Siberia will be under your control at the beginning of next turn.

 

[Jehoshua]

I have had a change of heart. I have discovered being an NGO is extremely boring, and so I am taking over Siberia.

Coup turns it into a 'Admiralty Republic'. That is, a Republic with the Admiralty acting as the executive branch of government and the navy naturally as the dominant branch of the military because of it. Led by Vladimir De Nil, Grand Admiral of the Republic.

The Margayana Buddhist State of Siberia, despite its change of leadership and unfortunate decision to politically separate itself from the most benevolent overlordship of the Golden Master, is a brother to the Golden Horde.

Henceforth we propose unto you Perpetual Alliance, Non-Aggression and Friendship everlasting that our communion under the Faith may yet continue, albeit that Siberia would remain merely under the spiritual guidance of the reincarnate Golden Master and not under his temporal reign.

ooc: tasty IP

 

[Tani Coyote]

Don't worry Jeho, the massive amount of points that you'll have next turn will make up for this setback.

We hold no ill will towards the Golden Horde, and as most of our population already follows the ways of the Golden Master we have no reason to try and oppress the masses by denying them the chance to be a part of your flock.

As we hold no ill will towards the Golden Horde, we are overjoyed to know that the Horde understands our wish to move out from under their shadow and make our own name as a great power. Let this Perpetual Alliance, Non-Aggression and Friendship everlasting be for eternity, to be truly everlasting and in perpetuity!

 

[NinjaCow64]

OOC: Wait, AA, are you saying that on the contract end that they die or that they just go off somewhere with massive amounts of cash, buy their own island and retire? Because I would be fine with the latter.

 

[Jehoshua]

The Golden Master is pleased to receive the tribute of his Siberian faithful.

Likewise he specifically would like to affirm that any "Associates" of Azerbaijan that wilfully reject that nations influence and cast out their pernicious agents shall immediately cease to be embargoed by the Golden Horde. The Master is a generous god and has no ill will to those who are under the shackles of that nation which has so insulted his divinity by intruding into his domain.

 

[NinjaCow64]

OOC: Assuming AA doesn't kill his indentured servants upon the end of their contract...

IC: Spartacus and UN investigators have inspected the laws and the work areas of indentured servants of the Magocracy of Antioch and we have determined that they do not meet our definition of slavery nor are they treated abhorrently. As such we are lifting the embargo of Antioch, Egypt and Ionia, Oman is still embargoed because they are still slaving scum. We formally apologise to the governments of Antioch, Egypt and Ionia and we request that the Suez canal can be reopened and we also hope that we can normalise relations with your three countries. A new embargo list will be posted soon.

In other news we would like to announce that, thanks to the knowledge of scientists from the late state of the Jakarta Court, we now have the capability to create nukes. We will be constructing one nuke this year...and then promptly dismantling it so as to work out ways to counter the nukes and then will share this technology with the rest of INDI.

@Java: On the note of INDI, we would like to ask you to join INDI. We would also like to sign an exculisive investment agreement with you.

OOC: Why do I only have 100 influence in Java? I certainly invested a lot more than that worth of influence vouchers last turn...

The 501st Legion is now guaranteeing the independence of the Empire of Azerbaijan vis-à-vis the Golden Horde.

I mean it's not THAT much money but I sure as hell don't kill them. It's basically the same system the Asari have on Ilium.

 

[arya126]

Siberia would like to reaffirm that its embargo against Azerbaijan does not change upon change of government.

[Tani Coyote]

The feared inundation of candidates has not come to pass.

Union General Secretary Candidates

Country of Origin: 501st Legion
Platform: The establishment of harsher & more binding punishments for those who start Wars of Aggression; promotion of free trade; in the event a seat on the ICJ needs to be filled while he is in office, he shall do his job as General Secretary & actually fill it.

Country of Origin: Germany
Platform: The UN should act as a peacekeeping organazation, not as a world government. I will try to resolve international conflicts. I will also try to encourage international trade.

Country of Origin: Red Destiny base near the North Pole
Platform: To actually govern instead of sitting back and watching the world collapse in on itself. To watch is to watch, yet the UN of this time period needs to take a larger role. To accomplish this he shall see that this council that appoints judges is no longer needed by appointing them himself, as well as bringing to justice groups that create undue violence such as Spartacus. He will support the creation of UN groups such as an espionage agency meant to investigate acts of espionage against legitimate nations, as well as a UN nuclear arsenal to discourage the launching of nuclear weapons.

Country of origin: Cyprus
Platform: the UN should be Disbanded, and replaced with a completely different international Governing body, one that is stronger, and based on the income of the citizens around the world, not the nations themselves. that woudl basically mean the UN can take actions without interfering with the nations.

Country of Origin: New England (Goon)

Platform: this moleman wishes to stand on a platform of anti-slavery, anti-aggressive war, pro-co-operation, promotion of fair trade (to ensure producers are not ripped off), promotion of the rights of minorities and crusading against specism. Oohl also calls for a special attention to refugees and to the suffering in civil conflict; a special body may need to be set up to help diplomacy between the sides of a civil conflict to allow for peace talks to be easier. Oohl will also wish to debate on ensuring a balance between a powerful UN and sovereignty for nations; NGOs will also have to be accounted for the populace they employee, all in effort to increase the voice of the people of the world so that justice can be maintained. Finally Oohl wants to introduce the Global Games so that nations can compete with each other peacefully, with the prestige of sport (both physical like swimming plus athletics and mentally like chess) to help the people of the world stand greater then ever. Overall Craig Oohl will be the first ever moleman to become a secretary... if you vote him in!

Country of Origin: CSI
Platform: Stronger UN, more later.

Voting may now proceed!
