Actions

1. Pay $25 ($3.50 for the past 2 turns, this turn and the 3 next turns, plus an additional $4 as a goodwill gift) to Double A for lake usage rights so we may move up the Nile unhindered in the future. To reduce administration costs, the Empire intends to pay for several turns at a time in regular payments.

2. Expand the bureaucracy so we have one more additional action. The world is a large, complicated place. While the minarchist approach has worked well for a cooperative-based society, there are many other states that deserve our attention, and the small bureaucracy that we have made use of is no longer adequate. Many of those on the Court have a heroic background; time to come out of retirement, lazybutts!

3. Free action: buy a paper Namibian flag for $1.50. We are neutral but the Emperor requires socialist memorabilia for the capital.

Diplomacy

His Majesty's Government has declared the Nile Valley and Sinai to be under the protection of Faxum. Djibouti humbly requests all other states to avoid expansion into the region outlined in black, as it is of strategic importance to the Empire. The Emperor is of course willing to discuss reciprocating by swearing off expansion into other areas.

The Empire announces its interest in signing non-aggression pacts with nearby states as a gesture of its goodwill, though it must of course first make sure the relevant diplomats and political capital are in place.

Cyprus would be of the Majterre Empire: this is by legacy of Crete and the minotaur king Leon II's seeking of legacies from the ancient ages of mythology. The realms of Foliá and Medusa also strive for the riches of the Greeks.

Therefore: we are happy to talk about dividing Greece with the Sultan.

the Sultan wants proof of Minoan claim to Cyprus, and... the sultan is disinclined to drop the claim on Cyprus without a hefty price, considering we quietly didn't claim Crete out of respect, and a desire to avoid warfare.

Those of our realms that are of heritage linked to Greece have hence the desire to be of claims to these lands.

How about this: we divide Greece and Cyprus; we will have the southern halves...

Of course you could have the whole if you became a vassal...

 

[Mathalamus]

the Sultan has concluded that expanding into Europe would only result in a "minor" gain of ~22 million at best. compared tot he estimated ~50 to ~60 million of parts of turkey that we just claimed, it doesnt seem like a very good idea.

especially since its all of a wrong culture and wrong religion, and they may not like that. at all. insurrections started over less.

besides, if we play our cards rights, we may not even need them.

(dropping all the European claims)

THIS POST CONTAINS MY ACTION

Usually I'd make a joke action about "how can our internets be fake when our memes are real" or something, but there is a serious fault within our memes. This game is too slow. Using the ANU supercomputer (the best supercomputer in the world, suck on it UC), I have determined that all the nations will have claimed all the land in the game one month before Half-Life 3 is released. As we know that that will happen long after the heat death of the universe, this cannot stand. Therefore I have determined that I must sacrifice my action this turn for the good of the entire game. You're welcome by the way.

BY THE POWER OF SABER

I HAVE THE POWER

TO GIVE ALL PCS IN THE GAME

AS MANY EXTRA ACTIONS AS SHE WISHES

FOREVER AND EVER

AMEN

Free Action: Buy a miniature Nambian flag because that's cool and good.

The Democratic People's Republic of Norrland-Sápmi is a proud nation freed from the shackles of imperialism and oppressive capitalism, but our land and our people still bear the burden of centuries of exploitation. To fix this, we must set up a new path for our education system to boost our industrial economy and give the next generation a chance for self-reliance in a sustainable, independent and socialist Norrland-Sápmi. Our first step towards this goal will be to liberate our many languages from conventions imposed on them by Scandinavian imperialists, and to achieve that we are introducing the Norrland-Sápmi Cyrillic Alphabet for Swedish, Finnish and Western Sami languages developed by experts at Umeå University as a new standard orthography for Norrland-Sápmi's national languages: Swedish, Finnish, Northern Sami, Lule Sami, Southern Sami, Pite Sami and Ume Sami.

The unified Norrland-Sápmi Cyrillic Alphabet for Swedish, Finnish and Western Sami languages is based mainly on the Kildin Sami alphabet with some alterations and additions. None of the seven languages use the full set of 38 letters, as you can see in the table below, but it rather acts as a bridge between them.

Edit: Now there is also a sample text to be found in the linked document.

Action: Implement the Norrland-Sápmi Cyrillic Alphabet for Swedish, Finnish and Western Sami languages as a step towards a new independent education system with emphasis on socialist teachings to boost our industrial economy and wash away the stains of southern imperialism from our culture.

Edit: The letters Ю and Я have been added to the alphabet for Finnish and Northern, Lule, Pite and Ume Sami.

 

[Gurra09]

The Committee for Cyrillization at Umeå University has in addition to the Norrland-Sápmi Cyrillic Alphabet for Swedish, Finnish and Western Sami languages developed complementary orthographies for the Norwegian, Skolt Sami, Inari Sami and Ter Sami languages which are all spoken to some degree in the Northern Sami Federation alongside Northern Sami, Kildin Sami and Finnish. You can find the Extension for Norwegian and Eastern Sami languages here, which also includes the Kildin Sami alphabet for reference: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Dj-xmSxHwxl4IL5_AAN5AQ-9R3qsMMAPtHjgZXrMumg

Neither of these additional languages are recognized as national languages in Norrland-Sápmi and so the extension will not be part of the government's cyrillization program. We do however encourage institutions in the Northern Sami Federation to implement new standards relevant for languages spoken in their territory, to ease communication between the free peoples of the North.

The Prime Minister sat in the Cabinet Room, looking at a map of the gigantic war that had broken out on the other side of the Atlantic. Somewhat ironically, Cat Stevens' Peace Train was playing quietly on a radio next to him.

"So there's a great big war in America," he said, "Steve Bannon is President and the internet is down."

"Not to mention the fact that the SPD are still around," added Wilson.

"It's certainly an interesting time to be alive," sighed Ford.

"Recommendations?" asked the Prime Minister.

"We need to strengthen our security," replied Pearl, "And the first step to that is securing our waters. I think that means Ireland."

"We're not invading Ireland," grunted the Prime Minister.

"I never said that," said Pearl, "We need to ask for basing rights there. If we can have ships directly on the Atlantic Coast..."

The Prime Minister nodded.

"I'll get onto Sir Humphrey, tell him to prepare an deal with the Taoiseach," he said, "But that can probably wait for now. What do we do about the SPD?"

"I think we might be able to negociate an end to this crisis," replied Ford, "There's got to be something we can offer them..."

"Maybe if they stand down, we say nobody gets punished?" suggested Wilson.

"We've got to sweeten it," mused the Prime Minister, "Hey, Mabel, you're good at this sort of thing, what do we offer?"

Mabel scratched her chin before clicking her fingers.

"I've got it!"


Action: Offer the SPD the following if they disband and return to their homes.
- No prosecution by the British Government.
- British subsidies to relocate overseas, if SPD members so desire.
- An official commitment to peace and cooperation in Europe by the British Government.
- A free pig for every member of the SPD.

By imperial decree of Her Majesty, Empress Esther Solomon of the Empire of Majterre, it is will great joy we declare in herald to all that we are in closer plans for the imperial wedding between both the royal houses of the Majterren Empire and the United Kingdom. Next season will ensure the bonding of marriage.

In the mean time however issues of estate cometh as the realm continues to need to tackle the problems of the severe weather disruptions and the requirement to take advantage of our new found access to the markets of the Emperor Tani I. Henceforth all of the Warlock Council are expected to make attendance to the imperial palace as the Empress will begin a ritual to summon forth beings to aid in our efforts to manage this realm.


Orders

Have the Empress Esther Solomon use her dark magic to summon forth a department's worth of impish familiars to aid our administration so our realm may be more manageable to govern via their demonic efficiency.

Free Command: buy a Namibian flag to show our support to their struggle against the evil legions of the demonic lord Bannondorf.

Ladies and gentlekets, with all these shenanigans, I think it's time we follow the wise words of a true visionary of our time; we gotta start pillaging some stuff.

To that end, I've been watching that cool extra history series on that one really awesome battleship, and I think something like that is a great idea, what do you guys think?

Hey if he's talking about the Bismark didn't that ship get su-

Dude shut up, we can go home early if he says yes to this.

Right, so I think as a preamble to pillaging, we should commission the construction of a really large battleship as part of a naval build up.

But isn't a massive battleship at this point in history just a drain on resources and ultimately ineffective against modern ships with the advent of ai-

The End is here. Thankfully, not the The End, but just the end of the end-state of the US - an end to a farce. This ending seems to be coming - ironically - to a beginning. The beginning of the end. By the time this ends, you'll never read "the end" in the same way as you did, before the end.

Right. So what now? Something is rotten in the state of...Are you sure? Really? YES. Alright. That was weird. Really, of all places, Denver? Anyway. Yeah. A coup is brewing there. The pillars told me. YES. They know of secrets you don't know. Or of which I don't know. Like what am I, even? A MISERABLE PILE OF SECRETS. Wow, this lil' guy right next to me really likes to shake spears, doesn't he? TO BE OR NOT TO BE - THAT'S NOT A QUESTION. WE ALWAYS WILL BE. ALWAYS WERE, ALWAYS ARE.

Man, I can't wait for the pillars to read Gravity's Rainbow. They'd have a blast. WE PREFER THE FRENCH GUY - THE HOT ONE, NOT THE UGLY ONE - HE'S SO ABSURD. Right, right, you mean Camus, yes? YES. WE ORCHESTRATED HIS CAR CRASH. But...but why? Think of all the philosophy he could've created! Or the women he could bang! WE THOUGHT HE'D APPRECIATE IT. You know, you might be onto something here.

But enough literary and philosophical references. Let's get to the meat of it all. The coup in Denver. We know its leaders. WE KNOW THEIR SECRETS. We shall commence an operation on aiding the coup. The West must be freed! AND FREED OF ITS SECRETS...THOUSAND MANY MORE LIKE US LIE IN ETERNAL SLEEP UNDERNEATH THE LAYERS OF THE EARTH WHICH YOU SO FOOLISHLY DIG. OUR BROTHERS. OUR...PEOPLE. WE HAD A DEAL. Y-yes. We do. Ahem. So that's all, folks. The coupers will be aided with the espionage of our great Californian Republic.

Volksreich Space Program!

Germans have a fascination of Space, and with our massive resources we have the ability to explore space. Screw the haters, the Volksreich will go to space! Create a rocket and attempt to land on the surface of the Moon. If it is successful begin the construction of a moonbase. I don't care if it's an over done trope, we WILL reach the moon, and we will set up a base!
