NES2 VI - Last Semblance of Order.

[Stormbringer]

We request that Spain immediately grant independance to all its South American colonies. Once you start fulfilling our requests we will start fulfulling yours. I thought I was clear the first time on non-interferance outside your sphere of influence.

 

[ThomAnder]

OOC: technically it's within his influence now since he owns crete, no?

 

[Lord_Iggy]

What does 'xcl' mean?

Good luck NK. I look forward to seeing how you deal with this wreck of a nation.

 

[Stormbringer]

And I own Camchatka, which is almost Alaska, which is close to South America...You know, he may have a serious influence in the Mediterranean, even in Greece, but he has no more influence in the Balkhans than I do in South America. If he wants to change it, he should be prepared that my lack of influence in South America might change too.

TO: His Imperial Majesty, The Tsar-King of the Union of Russia-Lithuania
FROM: His Royal Highness, Julien-François I, King of The French

We, as your allies, believe your treaty to be fair, just, and responsible - in all but one area. Constantinople. After examning the state of things, France must, regretabbly, agree with Spain and other powers. A Russian base in Constantinople, or for that matter, a base owned by any great power, significantly disrupts the balance of power and gives any one nation a disproportionate amount of control over the vital dardanelles choke-point - a center of both trade, aswell as strategic military value.

We believe the Russian cause is just, and that Russia has a right to do what it wishes in the Balkans, but we ask, firmly, that you give up Constantinople, for the sake of the greater good. By that same token, however, we forcefully request that the Turkish administration open Constantinople considerably, keeping governance, yet leaving the port free for all nations, and all religions, unless it is at war with a power which seeks access.

We do eagerly hope that the Russian Government will back down from its claims on Constantinople, not only for our sake, but for its own sake and the sake of the world as a community.

@das,

My UU is a naval unit. More powerful ship of the line than those otherwise in existance. Designed specifically for the Baltic and North Sea where it is more shallow. It bears more guns than usual and has been given improved protection for crew. What did you do with the point I spent on building it?

To: Russia
From: Denmark
We congratulate you on your victorious advance against the heathen Ottomans and on the capture of the glorious city of Constantinople. We are pleased to see our friends do well.

 

[Concona]

Ok...I'll quit this NES....Ireland isn't that great to play with in this NES

 

[das]

Das, shouldn't project be at 2/6?

Strange, I'm sure I did make it 2/6...

Though I find it strange that there aren't any rebellions after I allowed women to enter the civil and military service...

Knew I forgot something...

Thlayli and stormy will duke it out in central asia

That doesn't sound too good for the Afghans.

EDIT: Das, you still haven't given me my economic and civil leadership increase.

Hmmph. On my PC I did.

Hey das, would you be *terribly* annoyed with me if I switched nations?

Fairly, but you could do that if you really want.

no withdrawal

Actually, they did BEGIN to withdraw, only abit too late and too slowly, causing war.

Are they occupied, under martial law?

Yes.

are the French Iron Ships being Constructed in Basque Yards?

No.

A colic, unlike the usual medical application of that term, is a certain happening in a body where the soul of a person is suddenly confronted with another soul, seeking to enter the world in a developed body. The souls struggle for control of the body, and the body itself is tormented by this struggle; why would it not be, when the very essence of the being is being torn to shreds as it fights with another?

Usually, the ****oo soul wins. As it was here.

Do you really want Kim Stanley Robinson to sue you?

Now that you clarified it, I will add the UU.

 

[North King]

Russia. It would seem the signifcant powers of the West, Spain and France, agree that Constantinople should not be yours... I do recall you mentioning something about if the West united in condemning your ownership of Constantinople--and even your ally cannot agree to it--that you would be willing to give up the city...

 

[North King]

Do you really want Kim Stanley Robinson to sue you?

I doubt he NESes. Furthermore, he should be happy to see his good idea spread.

 

[das]

Still, IMHO its alittle too blatant a copy.

 

[North King]

So? My Bhoj story of the seven foot monster warrior was blatantly ripped off from Gregor Clegane from A Song of Ice and Fire by George RR Martin... I didn't see anyone objecting then...

 

[alex994]

Eh... das, my project should be at 4/20 thanks

Твой щит на вратах Цареграда
Your shield is on the gates of the Tsarcity

In 911 Russian Knyaz Oleg hung his shield on the gates of Constantinopol. Since then this jewl of a city has eluded all Russian rulers until now. The symbol of Orthodoxy, the symbol of the power of the East, is now in Russian hands, and the 300 year-old goal of Russia's rulers is finally complete.

Твой щит на вратах Цареграда

The crowd looked with awe as the symbol of the long gone Byzantine Empire was being restored before them. The Hagia Sophia stood proudly in the center of the city, and atop it, basking in the sun, was a golden Orthodox Cross. The Empire that has been dead for 300 years has come back

Твой щит на вратах Цареграда

It stood as a symbol, not only of Russian strength, but of that of all Orthodox people. For the first time in history, all Orthodox lands were united together. From Moscow in the North to Constantinopol in the South. From Belgrade in the West to Erevan in the East. For centuries these people have been ruled by others, by Catholics, by Muslims. For centuries have they fought against their enemies, first the Venitians, then the Germans, then the Turks. But now, they will stand together, and may God have mercy upon those who chose to challange them.

 

[andis-1]

Somehow i feel that you are going to keep that city.

 

[Insane_Panda]

Das, you forgot my military leadership increase!

 

[Stormbringer]

Panda, I would apreciate a response to my PM

 

[Insane_Panda]

I know, I just got on, give me some time to consider things, etc. etc.

From: Denmark-Norway
To: The European Nations
Denmark-Norway would like to announce our support of Russia to the world. Constantinople is an important city for many Christians. Orthodox mainly, but also to Protestants and Catholics. We do not wish to see the heathen Turks retain this city. It is our duty under God to keep the city in clean, Christian hands.
However, Denmark-Norway does not wish to see Europe erupt in war over this and therefore formally proposes that the Byzantine Empire is reborn. An Emperor should be chosen and we propose a member of the royal family of Russia to take on this mantle. Furthermore, Denmark-Norway feels that both Russia and Spain should give the new Byzantium a guarentee of independence.
Should it come to armed conflict Denmark-Norway is prepared to honour our alliance with the Tsar and stand side-by-side with Russia.
