Well, I've been wanting to send orders, but Sheep hasn't been on and I'm not sure what to do. I guess I'll have to send what if orders too.

Looking forward to getting started. Have several ideas already.
Nordterre
What is the history of this region? Who had it before the French, how did it get French and how long have they been in possesion of it? How is the demographics for it regarding population, ethnicity, resources?
Also, Union of Scandinavia, what is their history? (just briefly).
---
Diplomacy. I take it a lot of diplomacy is kept to PM's or MSN (and the like). Is this correct? Mainly for hidden agendas between nations compared to what I can see in the open.
---
Trade routes. A little confusion. I take it you can have one route for every two eco levels you have, correct? I'm asking because it could be interpreted as it costs you two levels to open a route.
---
Kamilian, yeah, nice country though it get's more snow than I'm used to seeing and lower temperatures. On the positive side there is rarely any winds though and I'm quite used to heavy winds.

You better not be plotting the betrayal and partition of France, Panda.

Regeneration In Process
In the ancient days, Vikings from there attacked Scotland (which has evolved into what is now Britain). The Scotts retaliated and captured that coast to stomp the Vikings out, and succeeded. Then at some point during the chaos of the Religious-Republican Revolutions (last millenium BC) France conquered it, and it was French ever since.
Not sure about the rest...

Diplomacy - secret diplomacy is conducted through AIM, YIM, MSN messengers, or through PMs. Open diplomacy, however, is conducted on the thread.
Trade - your second interpretation is the correct one: to open a trade route you must ask the country you want to trade with, and if they agree, pay 2 economies to open that route.

"To the shores of sacred Nile..." - hummed the young, but middle-aged-looking man in glasses, as he studied the expert photographies of the ancient Dutch runes. He was doing this for the eleventh day now, and he read it many times before, but still, there was no clue. Finally, shaking his head, he put them back into the envelope.
Still no lead. Still nothing. The past refused to speak, to reveal more of its secrets. The ancient Kuyper ruler was called Jehannus deKuyper, and his subjects were also reffered to as the Kuyper, and they fought a great war with the "walhas". Gauls, apparently. No mention of the French at all - almost definitely, Gauls WERE among their ancestors... but those ancient Gauls, from all that was known about them (mostly from Roman and Spanish sources), spoke a different language. The Frankish Theory, that he was advancing, still needed more serious foundation than that and some vague mention of some Scottish writings about a "France" in the 5th milennium Before Christ...
Where was the truth, damnit?!
Sighing, he looked at the ****oo clock. He still had... two hours. Then - to Spain. The man remembered reading, in the newspapers, that a war was likely to come. And... France wasn't in the best shape for it, no matter what. Hopefully, though, Spain will be out of it (though as a patriot he would've preffered Spain as a French ally) and things will go well there.

Joseph Clebert was born in February 19th, 1808, in the city of Paris, though both his parents were from Coblence. Those were great days to live in, for a Frenchman. After many years - nay, decades, or even centuries! - of struggle, the Franco Republic-Empire has finally crushed the Swiss, and access to the Mediterranean Sea, combined with the coming Industrial Revolution and the friendly links with a fellow egalitarian Republic, in Britain, have ushered an era of prosperity. Even the comparatively-poor bourgeois, such as the Cleberts, managed to, with a combination of luck and skill, make quite a living.
The Cleberts were a very patriotic, if humble and insignificant, family. One ancient, if perhaps of apocryphal connection to Joseph's family, Clebert was St. Simeon, the great Christian theologist who helped spread the Grand Enlightenment in the 8th century BC, just before the Kuyper Federation fell to a popular revolt; he was martyred for his republican and christian views, and this incited the first rebellions; his mother Marie, a pious woman, constantly stressed that indeed that Clebert was a distant, but still relative, to them. Cleberts were there, his father Henri told him at every occasion, when Jehannus IX was overthrown, and when the perverse, child-eating, pagan Kuyper ruling elite was overthrown by the French, who finally took power into their own hands. The Cleberts were amongst the army of liberation that killed the Kuypers off for their sins! The Cleberts, added his father, his eyes flashing with fanaticism, voted for neutrality when neutrality was the Only Possible Course for the Young Franco Republic, and made sure that those cowards who, for the sake of their petty "glory", seeked to drag France into senseless wars, knew: if they dare vote against it, they will face the People's Righteous Anger! The Cleberts were there in the psuh to build the fleet! The Cleberts elected Charles d'Anarchie! The Cleberts, remember this my son, fought in Carthage and in Florida! The Cleberts voted, when the vile Swiss and their Egyptian overlords seeked to conquer France, for WAR!!! The Cleberts were there when the Egyptian Armade threatened the very freedom of the European people, they were there when that Armade faced its ignomous defeat! The Cleberts were patriots to a man and if only all Frenchmen were such patriots, why, France would be... even greater than it is now!
Young Joseph Clebert listened to all these stories wide-eyed, and was filled with pride and with patriotism, and also with a deep interest in history - both of his family and of France. His father encouraged this, until he had heard from Joseph's school mates that he intended to become a historian rather than continue his father's business. They had a Very Serious Talk on the Matters of Patriotism, Duty and Family, and 13-years old Joseph Clebert stunned his father by telling him about his grand plan. He wanted to make all the Frenchmen as patriotic, as hard-working as the Cleberts, and the best way to do this was through writing books (after all, literacy rates in France were very high), and besides, the people must know more about those great events the Cleberts and other such patriotic men and women participated in. His father realized what he has done and shook his head, but finally conceded, and promised to let him eventually go to the Versailles History College. His mother, who wanted her son to become famous, was only too glad about her son's decision, sincerely believing that he will become a famous, authoritative historian about whom future generations will be taught.
But he still had school ahead of himself. 3 more years of school, according to the education standards of the day. History flew by - the first (and the last) Angle-descent, Carthage-born president came to power in France, Chris Howard; he promised egalitarian reforms and reassertion of . The Cleberts, naturally, voted for him. Ultranationalism, ultrapatriotism - which, perhaps, is the one and same - filled France, filled the French people, filled Joseph Clebert. France was united! France was great! And already then, with the rest of the progressive youth, Joseph Clebert has realized this simple fact: France was threatened. Enemies were plotting against it. That was why anti-government propaganda was spreading in spite of the volunteer youth organizations that hunted for the pamphlets and burned them down. That was why Brazil was up in arms. That was why Egypt, the archenemy of all things French, was searching for allies.
Came the year of 1824. Joseph Clebert was on the brink of entering the Versailles History College. His father was on the brink of marasm. A man he once seen as young but didn't quite remember was on the western brink of the Nile River, studying the Pharaoh Sheep LXI Square with his binoculars, watching the Pharaoh's carriage move back and forth as the day went by, and making notes, and shaking off his last doubts, and then going to his Memphisian suburb home to practice with his sniper rifle.
The world was on the brink of a war. A great war. The world wouldn't end yet, the seven seals would not be removed yet, Antichrist would not yet come. But it would end one era, one empire and millions of lives. And many more lives will be changed, including that of Joseph Clebert.
To be continued...

Update Four: 1837 A.D.
Tens of thousands of revolting Mongols are deported to labor camps in the coldest reaches of Pacifica, where they endure extreme temperatures and treatment. Thousands have died, and some nations of the world call for international inspectors to survey the camps and see that the prisoners are treated humanly. So far, Pacifican officials have denied access by Saharan, Vietnamese, Danish, and Teutonic inspectors. Rebellion continues, as well, funded by underground organizations rumored to have routes in both Russia and China.
Sioux conscripts are sent back to civilian life, and help rebuild the cities destroyed by the retreating Ozeanians (+ confidence).
The Egyptian economy is further bolstered with the opening of three more trade routes with other powerful economies, including China and the Teutonic Order. The dinari is growing even more stronger per Sinhalese rupee as the economy is expanded throughout the world. Now the dinari is worth nearly .98 rupee, the strongest it has ever been. And it only looks to get stronger as the rupee continues to decline and become less and less influential.
International investment in France has helped build the economy back up, most notable from China. Though the economy increases dramatically (+ economy), it has put a larger portion of the French economy out of French hands.
In formal elections, the Socialist Republicans in charge of Panama were not re-elected, and instead the government fell under control of communist sympathizers. This has prompted the invasion of Mexico, with the Mexican navy blocking the Panama canal and costing millions to other nations (- Panama economy, - USSA economy, - Egyptian economy, - Brazil economy, - Sioux economy). The Mexican army fairs fairly bad as they invade from the north, as the Panamanians hold out in jungle strongholds and control key locations in the south (-5,000 Mexicans, -3,000 Panamanians). USSA has imposed heavy taxes on Mexican vessels traveling through its territorial waters, but has had little impact on overall Mexican trade.
Ozeania withdraws from Mexico, clogging western ports and damaging some of them.
France adopts a new currency, the ruidor, which equals five of the old francs. So far, nothing much has happened to France because of this, mostly due to the fact that the franc is still in use.
London is assaulted by dozens of bands of terrorists, with financial districts, ports, and factories going up in flames from stockpiled weapons. The attacks have killed almost 3,000 civilians, and has caused financial panic within the UK (-economy). Terrorists from Madagascar are blamed by both French and British intelligence services.
As occupation of Quebec is upped to 125,000, anti-Russian sentiment continues to rise. Rebellion in the lower regions, the more communist ones, has prompted the Russian general in charge of forces there to institute emergency powers into himself and has dissolved the newly-elected, 68% communist Quebecois parliament.
A large naval buildup of both French and British ships takes place in Marseilles.
