I do totally agree on that... remember e.g. the guys that maybe didnt join because there were no more major nation that were un-reserved. And now those who reserved them quit before the first update...

It was Thanksgiving and I went out for dinner don't have time to send orders. Perhaps one of my allies could send orders for me? (Tyrion?) (Just don't screw me over or I'll bite you in the ass) Failing that please NPC me.

OOC: The story wasn't done very well, but I tried.
IC:
Diplo:
Though evil by nature, the negroes are merely the dumb servants and cannon meat of the international Judeo-Masonic conspiracy. Just so you know.
Story Continued:
Tsar Mikhail II "Toptygin".
Mikhail was alone.
He was, at first, genuinely distressed and did not know what to do. Luckily, the state continued to function - the buerocratic system was working on a powerful inertia provided by the late Paskevich, so Mikhail still had some time. But already, before his eyes came the images of chaos that will rage... unless he takes control now.
Absolute, unlimited power was practically forced upon him, as no more competent subordinates were found. This is something of an exaggeration, ofcourse, as later on Mikhail managed to elevate many competent men, such as Generals Krasnov and Denikin and his trusted advisor Patriarch Sergius, to positions of great importance, but at first he indeed had nobody to rely on. He had to take power firmly into his own hands.
Some sort of a transformation occured, a one that his supporters often compared with Peter the Great's transformation from a wargame-inclined otherwise-idle man into the great ruler who turned Russia into a great European power. Mikhail was charmed by that comparsion. And he had similar aspirations - to make Russia great again. No matter the price. It was a worthy ambition, and overcoming his own reluctance, Mikhail begun involving himself to greater and greater extents in the various aspects of policy. In the military field, he helped create a system of black hundred militias and patronized promising commanders, ensuring their swift elevation. He also ordered the reconstruction of Russia's once-mighty aviation industry, though corruption and insufficient resources prevented Russia's air force becoming a power once more. As far as buerocracy went, he did pretty much the same there, rooting out corruption and treachery as well. But the most important of his interferences was in the political field, where he abolished the Duma and the political parties, taking over the Purishkevich Coalition's assets. If the Tsar absolutely HAD to rule, he had to rule absolutely (pun intended ).
The struggle with the international Jewish conspiracy was formally legalized, and work begun on resettling the Jews somewhere else. The Tsar wasn't yet sure where. Meanwhile, the society and the outlying regions were increasingly militarized. By January 1939, it was patently obvious that a war would soon come. Mikhail II was increasingly concerned with what future will bring to him and to Russia, and also was beginning to grow afraid of history's judgement. For, after all, he still was the accidental autocrat, and wasn't yet fully grown into his new role. There still was much sentimentalism left in him, and also much doubt. His conscience, to be frank, bothered him very often.
As war drew ever near, as Mikhail spent more and more time on military inspections, in the back of his mind he still was looking for a solution... but, ofcourse, it came accidentally.
In October 29th (or 17th, according to the Germans) 1939, another man named Mikhail, of much humbler descent, was taken by the Deparment for Defense of Public Safety and Order (popularily known as okhranka) to a prison for thinly-veiled political propaganda aimed against the monarchy generally and the Tsar specifically. It was because of a play, "Ivan Vasilyevich Changes Profession".

A Day of Infamy
Philedelphia, PA
"Yesterday, March 7th, 1941, a Date which will live in infamy - The United States of America was suddenly and deliberately provoked by the military forces of the Confederate States of America.
The United States, after a period of tense negociations and numerous plebiscates, was at peace with that nation and looked forward to an era of prosperity. Our dreams, however, were crushed, as yesterday Confederate forces moved in and remilitarized the Ohio River border regions - border regions which were declared off limits to Confederate military forces by agreements made between both of our governments.
Such acts cannot go unpunished, and it is with much anger and sorrow that I must declare that today, effective immediately March 8th, 1941, there exists a state of war between the United and Confederate States of America.
As Commander-in-Chief of the Army and Navy, I have directed that all measures be taken for the defense of the American people.
Always will we remember the character of the insult against us. No matter how long it may take us to overcome this rogue state, the American people in their righteous might will win through to absolute victory. Therefore, I believe I interpret the will of the Congress and of the people when I assert that we will not only defend ourselves to the uttermost but will make very certain that this form of treachery shall never endanger us again.
Hostilities exist. There is no blinking at the fact that our people, our territory and our interests are in grave danger and with confidence in our armed forces - with the unbounded determination of our people - we will gain the inevitable triumph against this menace, so help us God.
The United States of America will no longer tolerate a state which seeks to divide and slaughter her people. We will no longer, as the last proponets of democracy and freedom on our continent, tolerate a state which brutally slaughters innocent civilians simply because they were born of a different color. The Confederate States of America have touched our last nerves, and we will take their utter disregard for international and humanitarian protocol no longer.
Through our struggle and our eventual triumph, America, our great nation, will be free and united once again. Thank you and may God bless us all for the dark times ahead - for through him and through our endless resolve shall we march triumphant."

Damn you, Panda, now a part of my orders will be irrelevant due to Ukraine being within the more logical and OTLish borders!
EDIT: Sheep, change a certain obvious part of my orders (the one about Caucasus) to make more sense, destination-wise, with the regard of Panda's map.
