The Romans are weak... falling... their capital is taken, their Legions are at war....
And their lands are ripe for the taking.
The Principality of Greater Wallachia declares war on the Roman Empire.
The RMK are not called to war, but if they want, they may join forces with us.
Battle orders sent through PM.

OOC: This would be a PERFECT time for Romans to spontaneously develop nuclear weapons so lulz could ensue.

Riccio has upped its refugee commitments, with camps stretching from Libya to the Adriatic coastline to Crete and all the way to India. While all refugees are welcome and provided the subsistence necessary to survive, Riccio is of course interested in providing skilled laborers with tasks for the duration of the war so as to ensure a more adequate living.
Cultural exchange is notable in the camps as well, with children being taught Greek, Latin and Italian to help cement ties between the Riccese and Roman Empires' citizens. Bilingual refugees are sure to find wonderful employment opportunities for assisting this process, naturally.

O yes... with the one eastern coastal Russian province we will make considerations on this.
Considering that such a deal would allow our co-operation on the Roman issue we would consider selling it for 7EP instead of 10EP.
We can further reduce to 3EP if you agree to allow a mass Taoist missionary effort in Russia, with our Outer Speeches set to your courts in hope of allowing compassion to be shared between the Chinese and Russians.
We must learn to be close as friends.

Holy Rome shall remain neutral in the current conflict between the FRCN and Britain on one side and the Constantinopolitan Roman Empire on the other. We shall facilitate methods of temporary residence for refugees on both parts via the Strait of Kales for the former and the gate of Adelsburg for the latter.

American-Conquest of Ethiopia and Glorious Conquest of West Ethiopia
The USA went full out against Ethiopia this year, conquering vast swathes of the crumbling country while the Glorious Corp, in the west, managed to snag some territory of its own. Ethiopia will surely fall next year, but with the country divided, it will be up to the Glory Corp and USA to come to terms on how the annexation will go down.
The first shots of this year weren't in India or Turkey or Greece, but rather, the southern Egyptian border. American forces poured across the border in record numbers, marking the USA's first real war since the dreadful War of 1823.
But to say that the campaign was a failure would be putting it lightly. It was a dismal failure on a scale not seen since Urun's ill-fated campaign just a few years ago.
-25 USA Armies
-4 Egyptian Armies

American-FRCN fleets also are blockading, which brings me to my next point.

American invasions of Libya and Persia blocked. Rio Grande invasion of Greece continues. FRCN blockade is maintained.
Now taking into account the invasions, the death toll increases to...

-20 Rio Grande Armies
-12 FRCN Armies
-53 Roman Armies

Leadership gained in battles is doubled.
Leadership is no longer used in battles. Leadership is used to increase Army or Naval Tradition, which works like military tech. Army Tradition can’t be traded, LP can.
Existing LP has been converted into Tradition based on preexisting power ranking as well.
Army and Naval Tradition both factor into rankings now.
AUTOMATED LP MARKET
You can automatically buy and sell LP now for 26 EP each. Like armies and fleets, you can not use LP until the next turn. Check this section every turn, as the price can and will change every turn.
If you do not have a capital, you cannot buy LP.
GLOBAL ECONOMIC NEWS
Two countries had an economic boom this turn. When a country is randomly selected for an economic boom or bust, further RNG rolls are determined who is affected. Having a trade agreement or free trade agreement increases the chance of being affected.
After initial affected countries are determined, more rolls are determined who they affect, and so on. A country won’t “infect” twice. Riccio, for instance, has so many agreements that it was hit affected once in its own economic boom, and three times in China’s boom. However, once the “those affected by Riccio” roll is done, it isn’t done again to prevent endless rebounding.
For this turn, anybody with just normal trade relations weren’t affected because I wanted to see how it would go with just trade agreements/FTAs. In the future, anybody who has normal trade relations and above will have a chance to be tapped.
Economic downturns work the same way and can be equally dramatic. (10)
GREAT WAR IN EFFECT
REVOLTS
The Republic of Indiana has risen up against the Unitary State of America!
The Caliphate of Libya (again) has risen up against the Eyalet of Egypt!
The Sultanate of Borneo has risen up against the FRCN!
If you want to claim one of these rebels as a client (and therefore control their orders) post so in thread. Highest ranked country that is at war with the rebel’s enemy gets control.
GLOBAL AFFAIRS
Every country now has a new trait listed on the stat sheet depending on its power relative to others. NPCs have been to various spheres depending on a player’s rank. Sphered countries can be traded. The only way to remove a country from a sphere is if the sphere holder gives it up.
The ranks are
Insignificant(<-2)
Minor (-1-0)
Regional (z-score 0-1)
Great (1-2)
Superpower (2-3, not extremely likely)
Hyperpower (>3, gamebreaking)
But since these things are based on a z-score, don’t get too bent out of shape. Some countries have inflated scores due to having a large bank (which only count for little), for example. Manufactories also weigh more in the calculation than provinces (because they weigh more in trade than provinces). An army weighs more than a province or manufactory. A fleet weighs the most.

COMMENTARY
The Great War has, quite predictably, caused quite a stir in the cosmic order of things. The Roman Empire, winning many victories but also suffering many defeats, especially on the high seas, has suffered a devastating setback this year culminating in defeats on the fronts with Wallachia and Russia. In Greece, the Republic of the Rio Grande was repulsed and in India, the Romans made great gains, with the theater being the only scene of visible success.
The Unitary State of America entered the Great War and was defeated in every possible war, from the botched invasion of Egypt through occupied Ethiopia to the defeated armadas that attempted to land troops in Libya and Persia. The USA’s entry into the war has caused a chaining situation, with Ethiopia and the Glory Corp being dragged into the war on one side or the other.
The Holy Roman Empire, too, has fallen on hard times thanks to mismanagement.
As the world enters another year of massive war, many are questioning whether the war is worth the massive loss of life.
Final GM Notes
Do NOT post “trade agreements with all” or “accept all” at all in this thread ever. If you sign trade agreements or free trade agreements, you must put that in your orders and you must list every country you are signing with. You also must mention all alliances you are joining, defensive pacts being signed, non-aggression treaties, and embargoes in your orders.

Riccio openly states on the behalf of its friends in the Glory Corps that the Glory invasion is entirely against Ethiopia, and that no hostilities will be pursued against Rome. Riccio clarifies this due to analysts grouping the Glories in with the anti-Roman forces.

In retrospect, I will go back and spin the American Conquest of Ethiopia out of the Great War since Ethiopia is inactive anyway.

Riccio, fearing the militarism of the world, must regretfully refrain from publishing its spending activities publicly. It vows on its honor that no conflicts shall be started by it or its close allies, Birmingham, New Venice, or Castile.
===Diplomacy===
Riccio and the Glory Corps have signed a non-aggression pact with the United States; it asks that the United States confirm this.
