Empires & Revolutions VI: Because Original Names Are Overrated - Games

Map: [t]http://filesmelt.com/dl/19013.png[/t] 1. Send Personal messages with the nation you wish to choose. If possible read a bit about that country that you have picked and what it did in a few years preceding 1900. 2. After you have picked your nation, you can send in turns, which take the form of: Military affairs: (Organisation, running, wars, reforms, etc) Diplomacy and external affairs: (Deals with other nations, trade, diplomatic bullshit, espionage) Economic affairs: (Economic reforms, things to focus in, budget, etc. Note that government intervention in economics is very small at the start.) Internal politics and affairs: (Politics, censorship, elections, social and political reforms, propaganda, etc) After this I will take in all the turns for processing and then make the next turn. 3. There is also an option for those who wish to be different, revolutionaries. You use the same country and turn format, but do it as the head of a underground revolutionary party. Your goal is to overthrow the regime and establish yourself as head of state, where you can then run things according to your will. (Depending on certain conditions, a civil war may happen. The revolutionaries can be funded by foreign players, and will grow in strength depending how incapable or capable the heads of state and parties are. A weak ruler and a strong party ruler will see a revolution occur. There may be only one such party for each country though. But another can appear once that party is eliminated or becomes the new state. 4. The map will be edited to reflect territory changes. I will try to edit things to match changing conditions as I go along. But the general idea is you either run a country, or work as a party to bring it down. Interact and all. Technologies, inventions, cultural movements and ideas will be partly affected by the player, but for the most part controlled by myself. Remember to send PM's with your countries name (Or Revolutionary party with country it is in) and the game turn and date. [B]THERE IS A TWO EDIT LIMIT, I DO NOT WANT A REPEAT OF SEED EATER'S MASS EDITS [/B] Let's get started.

Who here wants to join my quest to prevent WW1?

It is to signify that the Ottomans are still a world power. The Palestinians are confused as to why the Ottomans chose their lands to march a shitload of horses through. -Artillery unites are set up along the borders of Arabia. This angers the Arabians greatly. Small skirmishes break out. -Importation of machine guns from the United States begins. -The Ottomans ask for an alliance with the Persians. In light of recent events with the Arabians the Persians refuse. -North African workers are ordered to begin mining for coal and lead. -Upper class taxes are raised slighty. This causes minor dissent among the upper class but not enough to be worried over. -A search for copper begins with nothing major found yet. The metallurgy industry remains the same. -The Turkish Worker's Party is established. It is a socialist party. The lower class people seem to like it but the middle and upper classes aren't big fans of it. As of now it poses no threat. -The people all agree that they would like to see Arabia be a part of the Empire again.

Relations improve significantly between these nations. -Attempts to improve relations with Mexico fail but most other spanish speaking nations like Spain. -Funding of Pro-Spanish Advocacy Groups begins. -Taxes are cut across the board. This pleases most of the population but the government income is lowered significantly. This is only a temporary effect though, soon income will increase again.

Large amounts of wood are exported. This helps bring the economic back up somewhat. -Oil refineries are built in the Caucasus region. This also helps improve the economy somewhat. -An attempt to change the government type is put to a stop quickly by the Czar. It'll have to be slower than that.

It is agreed that training could be improved. -A request for an alliance with Russia is made. It is declined. -A non-aggression pact is signed with the Ottoman Empire. -Greece agrees to a non-aggression pact.
