Check my two navies killing your trade ships.

Have my trade deals been canceled or something? I'm sure three trade deals with powers pumping 187, 185, and 174 would give me more than 47..?

If that is true then how is Abyssinia trading with me?

I've no clue.

I'm frankly still wondering how you are making more trade income than me while blockaded.

 

[Double A]

Maybe Tanny auto'd the transfer of your money to me.

Persia
115 total

50 into industry
65 into fleets((13 fleets))

 

[Tyo]

Oh, that explains why you have an asston of money.

But it still doesn't explain why Gem is making 60. He can only trade with Yoshi.

Edit: My trade with Nigeria isn't listed.

Stop changing your bloody post!

You only collect 50% of all your trade partners' base income + your base income.

Rome - 46
Angola - 56
Denmark - 64
Greece - 40
Germany - 55
Partitionania - 58
501st Legion - 58
Persia - 55
One Vision - 58
Japan - 47
Prelate Order - 60
Jerusalem - 49
Ahasira - 56
France - 62
Demon Realm - 64
Britain - 53
Siberia - 61
Brasilao - 63
USSR - 65
Nigeria - 62
Tibet - 60
Abyssinia - 62

Jerusalem - Prelate Order, USSR (49 + 60 + 65 = 174; 176/2 = 87. 87 - 40 = 47)

Oh, that explains why you have an asston of money.

But it still doesn't explain why Gem is making 60. He can only trade with Yoshi.

Persia + Demon Realm = 55 + 64 = 119. 119/2 = 60. Your income will be more than his next turn, when you aren't paying tribute.

My trade with Nigeria isn't listed.

Fixed. 31 added to your income.

News of the World

Western Europe and the Mediterranean

Germany has publicly unveiled its new superweapon, the aptly-named "Province Buster." While states such as One Vision have publicly announced testing of such weapons, only Germany has so far showed that it has actually built them. Already, anxiety over such weapons has become widespread, with fears they could shift the balance of power in favor of those who have them. Indeed, many fear that the Cold War mentioned in the few remaining texts could repeat itself, with all major powers racing to outdo the other's power of obliteration.

So far, the German government has declined to comment, but it is believed the arsenal, small but growing, exists for deterrence. It is small enough that other powers could counter it, ensuring MAD.

In Africa, the people of Tunisia and Malta have thrown off the chains of Roman and Greek rule, respectively. Rome and Greece, while at war, now face a common enemy in a three-way struggle. Together, the small collective of rebels have declared the "Republic of Carthage."

The Carthaginians state they will not bow to Greece or Rome, while Greece has declared that it will rain "hellfire" down upon the Punics. How this will be done, given the war in Italy, will remain to be seen.

So far, the Roman Consuls have been unavailable for comment.

Middle East

While Greece de facto or de jure ends its conflicts in the Middle East, events continue to heat up between Jerusalem and Persia. Jerusalem has blockaded Persia, severing much of its trade network, and unless the blockade is broken soon, Persia will soon end up with a massive disadvantage.

Already, armies remain poised to strike at eachother, a wall of fortifications on either side preventing any real advances. The war will be decided in the air and the sea, from what can be seen.

Eastern Europe

Day 131, 4 PC

All over the former Russia, riots have broken out. Most notably, rebels have begun seizing power in and around the Voronezh and Nizhniy Novgorod areas. The "Russian Winter" has even begun spilling into Siberia, where a fortress was seized by the rebels. The rebels have also taken forts in Voronezh and Novgorod's sovereign territories, thus putting three valuable government fortifications under each rebel's rule.

Day 147

The government of Novgorod, in desperation, has ordered an assault against the rebel positions.

Day 150

Novgorod's government has seen its security forces destroyed! Rebels triumphantly marched into Nizhniy Novgorod's government district today, unopposed and to cheers.

Nizhniy Novgorod, prior to this revolution, was a monarchial state where whoever had the money, had the power. The central government was rather weak, with the state operating on a right-libertarian basis - virtually no government interference in the economy and extensive social freedoms. The state was run like a business, opportunist. While many citizens were Shi'ites, most were tolerant of other faiths.

This has changed. The new government, while opportunist, is a democratic Republic, with many powers vested in the federal level. Government interference in the economy has drastically increased, with many businesses split up or taken over by the state - the old oligarchs have all been sent to prison, as well, if they haven't fled the country. The monarchy has been abolished and all its property confiscated and redistributed to the citizens.

But what of Voronezh, the other state troubled by rebel worries? The government is a secular regime... some would say, too secular. The majority-Shi'ite state has been largely placated with the massive welfare spending of the government, but are displeased with how little authority the central government has. The localities run practically everything, and in recent years, more cuts to social spending and increased regulation of faith have pushed the populace to the brink.

Voronezh lost much of its army in an offensive, and in the ensuing chaos, rebels took back what they had lost.

Making matters worse, the new government of Novgorod's first move was to "export" their revolution, and they assisted in destroying the government of Voronezh as well. Officially, the state of Novgorod cites Voronezh's inability to protect its people from state governments as reason for intervention. Muslim brethren, after all, make it indefensible to simply remain idle. 2 provinces of Voronezh's have been occupied.

While Voronezh has condemned the attack, Novgorod insists that it couldn't have "invaded" Voronezh, as Voronezh isn't a country, but a patchwork of princes operating under a single label.

Petrograd, meanwhile, has guaranteed the independence of the Novgorodians, believing that its actions, provided they are for the benefit of Voronezh's people, are correct. Bloodshed has been minimal, as many soldiers have surrendered, and most casualties in the "war" so far are on the hands of Voronezh's state governments, which have murdered hundreds of protesters.

I STILL Haven't gotten a response on how this happened. I never signed such a thing.

I believe the 501st Legion offered you a trade agreement, and you never responded.

Unless a trade offer is explicitly declined, I mark it as accepted.

I don't get why you're against trade so much anyway, considering the juggernaut about to come down on you.

In my defense, I was still waiting for the video to load, so I couldn't tell what the song was about for 40 minutes. Stupid holiday gremlins.

Declare war on and attack Siberia

 

[Mosher]

The Angolan Prime Minister has released a statement, declaring that Angola will be interested in the future independence of the Republic of Carthage, and advise any belligerent nations to quickly make peace with them, or at least not make any offensive moves.

If any attacks are made against the Republic of Carthage, Angola will be forced to use its currently-being-produced Province Busters against the belligerent nation in question, and forces will be landed at the first opportunity in the belligerent's land.

The Prime Minister hopes that peace can be attained and that the Republic of Carthage can become a secure, prosperous, and sovereign nation.

 

[Double A]

Stay out of my goddamn affairs, Angola. This is the second time you've unprecedentedly threatened me, whether directly or indirectly. Third if I take into account the rebellion you tried to start, and I am. Take your insane vendetta elsewhere.

 

[Mosher]

Angola considers everything in Africa part of its affairs; though we are mostly interested in sub-Sahara, we are also interested in the ability for smaller states in the north to flourish economically and have independent, democratically elected leaders.

 

[Double A]

Malta isn't in Africa. The Caucasus isn't in Africa. The Peloponnesus isn't in Africa.

 

[Tani Coyote]

As a comment from the peanut gallery:

It looks like Rome might not be curbstomped after all... if Angola enters as an ally of convenience, that would actually put them right about even with the Greeks and French... provided they could last long enough until the Angolans arrive, anyway.

 

[Mosher]

Carthage is in North Africa, who we are interested in.
