A little background:
The world has just overcome the first world war it has seen. France, the greatest power, with China, Britain and New Zealand (Grand Entente Alliance) was pitted up against Egypt, Italy, Russia, Teutonic Order, Japan, Sahara, and the African Union (ACE) along with USSA. I urge you to read:
For the maps, go to the NES itself. The first update of war is on page 82. The war ends with update 61 on page 89. Happy reading.
Basically you got the very industrialized countries (in this order: France, Britain, USSA, Egypt, Pacifica), the ones between (Sumer, Russia, Spain, Sinhala, Morocco, Canada), and then the rest.
Newly established countries (Canada was established not in stJNES4, but in this NES it was part of the treaty, retains close ties with Britain. Other ones: Uruguay, Brazil, and Panama) are in the phase of consolidating their country, and are susceptable to revolutions/civil wars. Beware.
The Sioux are occupying northern parts of Mexico because of a war in the past. They havn't withdrawn. Denmark has already invaded Victoria island to get them to withdraw. Ozeania (Mexico's protector) is also pressuring the Sioux to withdraw.
There is also a small scale rebellion in Pacifica by Mongolians who want to re-establish Mongolia.
Any questions about your nation should be asked on the thread, so everyone can read and get familiar with the world. I will try and talk historically in updates.
Btw, those update lengths are what you should expect from this NES as well. I also hope to update every 3 days. But don’t hold your breath.
The world has just overcome the first world war it has seen. France, the greatest power, with China, Britain and New Zealand (Grand Entente Alliance) was pitted up against Egypt, Italy, Russia, Teutonic Order, Japan, Sahara, and the African Union (ACE) along with USSA. I urge you to read:
Spoiler :
The French fleet, the major competitor in the war against ACE, has been split up into three groups. An elite class of ironclads have been sent to Japan, and a Mediterranean fleet has been assembled. Of that Mediterranean fleet, half will bombard and land troops in Italy, while the rest will be in Egypt.
Upon reaching the Mediterranean Sea, the French navy met the combined navies of Egypt and Italy, which were less trained and equipped, and also less in number then the French fleet. A fierce battle broke out near the Gulf of Lyons against the Egyptians, and another battle against the Italians near Sardinia. Both were victorious for the French, who did loose many ships, but not anywhere compared to the Egyptian and Italian losses. The remaining fleets of the two returned home to hide in ports.
Continuing on, the French were attacked from the rear with the whole of the Russian navy. One man died of laughter, and one ship sunk from an earlier battle as the Classical Age Russian fleet was sunk.
French fleet continued on to Egypt, where at the mouth of the Nile in the rich fertile heartland of Egypt, French troops landed following a heavy French bombardment. Ironclads were able to drop huge stores of iron and other metal blocks, as well as a lot of dirt in the mouth of the Nile. While the attempt to flood was mostly unsuccessful, it did overflow a few northern canals for now. Meanwhile, the French invasion consisted of 937,500 men, a pinch against the 1,375,000 Egyptian men defending their country. However more the Egyptians had, the French had the fact of a bombardment from behind, as well as machine guns that fortified a front.
Meanwhile, Egyptian troops struck at French Nigeria with 687,500 men, against only tens of thousands. The Nigerian colonial army is able to hold the Egyptians at bay in the dense jungle, though not for long. The Moroccans invade French Carthage, though the resistance is tough in the desert against the fortified French, though the French are loosing numbers that can not be replaced. In the jungles the Saharans are finding resistance in the villages and cities that dot the land, not much French military resistance though. Movement is slow in the jungle.
Finally, the Italians and Teutons both launch invasions of France proper. At the same time, the French were invading Italy itself. However, there were more French soldiers, and the French were better equipped, and soon pushed the Italians into war on their own turf, where Egyptians were also fought against. However, in the east, the Teutonic Order has launched a huge invasion of a virtually undefended French border. They quickly make haste, taking the Low countries, and almost taking Paris before France's gaurdian angel comes. British troops show up in Paris, and are able to push the Teutons back some considerable land.
Meanwhile, on the east side of the world, Japanese ships were snuck attacked by French ironclads that devastated the Japanese fleet and forces on the mainland of China. Chinese forces then pushed the Japanese almost out of China, the Japanese are forced with limited ammunition and food supplies. Beijing was liberated.
Update Fifty-Eight 1829ad.
Sumer has completed the first Middle Eastern ironclads, based mostly off of French designs; these ironclads are now the strongest in the world, mounting three gun turrets and state-of-the-art armor and engine.
The last of the Japanese soldiers evacuate China and head home to Japan. This war has been very costly on the new nation, and the losses will forever lie on the Japanese minds. The economic stress alone is now taking a hold of the Japanese economy.
Pacifican shipyards, after the decline of the Japanese naval power, have boomed to an unexpected high! The largest in east Asia, the Pacificans are able to pump out as much production as about 75% of French ports, the second highest in the world! Immediately they are put to Ironclad/Longboat production.
The largest draft the world has ever seen has happened in both the major warring countries of France and Egypt. Egypt gathers close to two million conscript soldiers from the far reaches of the desert and Nile, while France is able to muster a gigantic four million men from throughout the world.
French troops push hard, over 800,000 French men pushed up the Nile, with full support of over a quarter of the French navy. The half a million Egyptians, however, had the advantage of fighting on their turf, knowing every trail and every fort, as well as every bend of the Nile. However, it was not enough to stop the French. Breaking the lines, the French advanced as far as Cairo, capturing the major port, but then something miraculous happened. Egyptian citizens, meaning men, women and children of all ages filled the trenches outside Cairo to defend their beloved Thebes. This stopped the French advance, and so the first stalemate in Egypt has occurred. Even with the arrival of Moroccan and Saharan forces, the Egyptians were not able to take back Cairo.
Before another stalemate occurred, French troops landed in Carthage and were able to take back some limited land. However, the Moroccan numbers were able to set up a front that is now holding the French advance.
French navy has entered the Nile on one sole purpose – the destruction of the Egyptian economy. And while most of the Lower Nile belongs to France (the most productive part), the Upper Nile still contains vital farms for Egyptian armies. Steaming south, the Ironclads are already held up in Thebes where huge ground defenses have been mounted to keep out the ironclads. The battles continue to this day.
The Suez Canal, being very closely guarded by most of the Egyptian army, is attacked by French Ironclads. The canal is successfully defended by the massive amount of cannons and other ground defensive units that were able to keep the ironclads out. However, the blockade of the Canal has had it’s effect on the Egyptian economy.
French Nigeria falls to the assault of Egypt, Sahara and, later on, the African Union, mostly due to the fact that France did not send any more soldiers to back up the militia.
French Seychelles and Maldives are first blockaded from supplies by the Arabians, and then out-right invaded. The battles were successful for Arabia, loosing hardly anything to the starved French militia.
USSA troops reach the Hudson Bay after a surprise attack on British forces in Canada. Close to a million men charged into Canada. However, the British forces were held up in the eastern major cities, where the USSA hasn’t even touched yet, and vital ports will be able to receive supplies and reinforcements next turn.
Seeing the obvious easiness of the mission, USSA troops launch an island-hopping campaign against the French in the Caribbean. Capturing the Bahamas and the Lesser Antilles quite quickly, the USSA were held up in Cuba and Haiti. Every attempt at invasion in Haiti were repulsed by French soldiers, as well as Havana in Cuba.
Russian troops dive into French Brazil, taking lots of land quickly and without a fight yet. However, there is rumor that a huge French militia build up is more inland, and frightens many Russian army personnel
French forces in Italy were replaced with British ones who held the lines with newly modeled machine guns that have a higher RPM then any gun in the world, double. The poorly trained, fed, and equipped Italian troops are at Britain’s mercy. Finally the British push forward and gain some more land in Italy. .
Against the orderless Teutonic Order, the French were able to take some land, but not much. The Teutonic Order soldiers outnumber the French almost 3 to one, but superior weapons and training on the French side even it out.
Ozeanian troops land in Madagascar! Fully unaware of this attack, and without a navy, Africa quickly looses Madagascar to Ozeania in a obvious attack against ACE.
Three new technology outbreaks in the world of 1830! In the French super port of Paris, a new ship is designed that is named the Dreadnaught. Estimated to be as powerful as 5 ironclads, these dreadnaughts were soon set in full production, and already three are made.
In Seoul, Pacifica, militarists were able to conjure up the way to make long-range artillery! Immediately all of the old fashioned cannons are replaced with this wondrous artillery that can shoot 20x further then the old cannons.
In Teutonic Order and Haifa, Sumer, simultaneously these nations have developed a way to make poisonous gas and equip it with the Pacifican artillery. However, two things go wrong. One, the Pacifican artillery technology is still solely Pacifican; no other nation knows how to work it. And two, the technologies slipped out in the Teutonic Order where Russia got a hold of it, and then France, and then the world (not willingly).
Japan is invaded! Using their newly developed military arsenal, the Pacificans invade the Islands of Japan in three places! Half of the Japanese fleet is destroyed again as the Pacificans gear up for the invasion. Landing in Hokkaido first, the Pacificans easily gain the whole island as most of the Japanese were on Honshu. It was not so successfully done on the other islands, though. The Japanese were able to hold the invasion on both Honshu and Kyushu, where huge casualties on both sides lead to a stalemate. However, Pacifican casualties are almost triple that of Japanese losses.
Northern Senegal, the first colony of the Russian Federation, was sold to the Saharan Republic.
France holds lines in Egypt through the introduction of the dreadnaughts into the area, as well as most of the ironclad fleet in the Nile to defend the front from Egypt. However, Egyptian and Moroccan forces have been able to recapture Alexandria, and Egyptian and Saharan forces push France out of the Suez. French Carthage falls.
French Mexico is attacked by the USSA, where the red army makes considerable gain in the highly industrious lands, as well as witness the surrender of Havana and Jamaica to USSA forces. However, they fair worse in Canada. With the arrival of near two million British men, the USSA are outnumbered four to one, and have the other penalties of inferior technology as well as training. The British navy is also able to help bombard coast fortresses they encounter, enabling the British army to squeeze around the fortifications. Also, the USSA armies are hit from behind as the British Canadian colonial army advance from the west.
In Europe, the French have been able to overrun the Teutonic forces once again as their leader seems to neglect the front. The French are now fighting at the Teutonic Order border.
British make considerable ground against the Italians as more conscripts are thrown at the British and are gunned down. British also have incorporated many conscripts who make up the rear in keep supplies running and filling in for any gaps. After long fighting, the British are able to capture Rome! Luckily, the Italian government was already evacuated to the Teutonic Order. The navy also helped in taking the capital.
The Russians in South America take more land as the French continue to neglect the colony. Thanks to rail disruptions by French and British spies, Russian reinforcements were stalled and were not able to reach the French front this turn.
Arabian ships are destroyed near Madagascar where the Ozeanians set up defensive procedures.
Update Sixty 1831ad.
ACE allied spy networks have confirmed huge amounts of salt being stockpiled somewhere in France, but it is not known what the salt is for.
All of French eastern Brazil has fallen to Russian armies as the colonial militiamen retreat to the mountains in the west. Fortifications are noted to being built, and the Brazilians have declared their independence from France (due to lack to support) and has pledged their allegiance to the Brazilian country.
Russian armies sweep into British Greenland, taking the most fertile lands first, and the most populated areas (though not saying much). The British colonial force there is expected to rise due to the resistance to the Russians, and already guerilla operations are under way in the occupied territory to rid the land of the Russians.
Sumerian ports have reached the same level as French ports in Mexico and France. They are able to handle the largest payloads and are the most efficient ports in the world. Due to this, the ironclads being produced have more then doubled in rate.
The Pacificans have created their own form of a Dreadnaught that they call a “Destroyer”. These ships have mounted artillery, modified for mounting on a ship, and are much larger in size. However, due to the largeness and weight, the Destroyers cost much more then the dreadnaughts, and take a lot longer to build, especially in the run-down ports of Pacifica.
In the war on Japan, the Pacificans have made advances, but the losses are tallying up as the Japanese play an effective guerilla war, and the Pacifican artillery is unable to attack since there are no large fronts. Also, a new force has entered the islands from the other side, and is soon recognized as Vietnamese. They make tons of advances against almost nothing. However, the whole population of Japan has rallied before the country, and a new-armed force is soon on the way.
The British fleet has sunk the whole of the USSA navy very easily. But that is not all. The British navy has also begun a full-scale bombardment of the coast of USSA, with major ports like New York and Boston, as well as Miami are now all in rubble, crippling the shipbuilding capability of the USSA. And to add fuel to the fire, the British have landed a small force in Halifax, taking the peninsula and the capital. Laving the lands mostly defenseless, British forces reoccupied Canada.
USSA makes huge strides in Mexico against the non-existent front, but things are soon to change. Mexico has proclaimed itself independent from France, and has begun to mobilize a new army that will fight out the invaders.
The French are pushed back in Egypt because of less and less reinforcements are arriving.
Huge forts have been constructed on the French-Teutonic border, on the French side. These lines of forts, known as the Maginot Line, are huge in numbers and consist of new artillery developed, trenches and tunnels, and machine guns. They are able to successfully hold the Russian and Teutonic advance, especially when equipped with the huge numbers of soldiers that are.
Italy has been fully taken over by British forces! The island fortress of Sicily is all that remains with most of the Italian army there, ready to defend from any kind of invasion the British may have.
After pulling what resources they had to their only industrial port of Oakland, the Sioux are able to commission their first ironclad, thought it is of poor quality and of inferior technology to those of the super ironclads of France, Sumer and Pacifica.
Liberia is given independence.
Taking their only chance, the Saharan republic invades the weak country of Liberia after given independence from Russia. The troops easily overrun the small-unorganized militia and take the whole country.
France and ACE have finally made peace. More then half of the ironclad fleet of France is given to Britain in a signature of friendship and pact. Half a million men are decommissioned as well as the whole of the army is immobilized. France is now deep in foreign debt as well, as economic levels were paid to four nations, France dips into depression. Many starve to death. This is all under the Treaty of Versailles.
Brazil continues to invade the Russian-held lands of French Brazil, under the reason that the land rightfully belongs to the people who inhabit it.
To show how much resources and work the destroyers take, all 15 elite ironclads of Sumer were only able to build two destroyers. And even when the greatest port in the world, Haifa, was put to the task to build a destroyer, it could only build on in this year.
The Dark Shroud has appeared to have disbanded, as the Sumerians and Sinhalese were unable to locate any.
A few hard-core Mongolians decide to lead a revolt of the pre-occupied Mongolia. A few elitists proclaim the boundaries of Mongolia.
The war in Japan is starting to come to an end as Edo is captured and most of the mainland island is taken. Though the guerilla warfare is doing great numbers on the Pacifican military, it is not slowing the advance.
Britain and USSA make peace. Britain has begun to set up a government in Italy, while many of the army held up in Sicily decides to agree to put down arms, those still there are being pounded by the British navy.
The new Socialist government of Panama has taken the French lands of Panama.
Upon reaching the Mediterranean Sea, the French navy met the combined navies of Egypt and Italy, which were less trained and equipped, and also less in number then the French fleet. A fierce battle broke out near the Gulf of Lyons against the Egyptians, and another battle against the Italians near Sardinia.

Any questions about your nation should be asked on the thread, so everyone can read and get familiar with the world. I will try and talk historically in updates.
Btw, those update lengths are what you should expect from this NES as well. I also hope to update every 3 days. But don’t hold your breath.
