I think the game is on its last legs.
I think one more turn would do us all good, and then I will declare the end. Nobody seems interested anymore, and I am practically forcing some people to play.[/QUOTE]

I'm developing a Military-Industrial Complex, aren't I.
I am thinking of the next RP I will host to be set from 1960 to 1980.
It would have 2 turns a year, for a total of 40.
I will go out by forming a new nation

-Battle of Swally: Forces of the British East India Company and Portugal engage off the coast of India, resulting in a British victory.

[b]Lusoamericania - Mountainwatcher[/b]
-The new country is constantly touted as a place free from Spanish oppression, and slowly, the people within Lusoamericania come round to the idea that its better being under a Protestant who was Portuguese than a Catholic who was Spanish.
-20 men are sent to the French colony with pigs and a Spanish captive painted with the Spanish flag. The pigs are slaughtered and a small feast ensues with the eating of the pigs flesh. Rather than butcher the Spanish man, they merely beat him up. Butchering a human seems too barbaric for these people.
-The new country begins to request aid from the French, who help in the war against Spain.
-The navy attacks Cuban shipping, and tries to reinforce their position in central America.
-The Portuguese are unable to retake the forts, and eventually the Spanish manage to take every fort and town in central America by 1612.

-Twelve Years' Truce: The Netherlands and Spain agree to a 12-year ceasefire (1609–1621) in the Eighty Years' War.
-Spain recognizes Dutch independence.
-Due to the lack of money to continue wars, the hostility of French, Lusoamericania, the Netherlands and the possibility of revolts in Portugal, Spain is forced to sign a peace treaty with Lusoamericania.
-The treaty formally recognises the independence of the new kingdom.

[b][i]The Europa Trade Conglomerate – Canuhearme[/i][/b]
-The colony continues to expand the military, navy and armament industries, and by 1612, the colony abroad is being run much in the same manner as a coherent nation of some kind.
-Piracy ravages the Caribbean colonies, but the company manages to secure central America as they are able to easily defeat Portuguese reinforcements that arrive.
-Nonetheless, the motherland cannot afford such a costly war, and a peace treaty is eventually signed. The company however still keeps their lands they gained in the war.
-Agriculture and industry, with the war finally over, begins to kick off with the return of cheap and plentiful labour, perfect for helping in the fields.
