In an effort to increase technological advancement and improve communications between nations, Ruthenia proposes a political organization dedicated to research and sharing technology for the good of mankind.

Ruthenia begins looking Westward for colonization.

While mining for metals to produce weapons for Mipoli with, miners in the rocky hills south of Aleshty stumble upon a decent deposit of gold, causing a slight boost in Ruthenia's treasury.

President Dubicki proposes the small treasury boost go towards science and research related to Geology and Mining, seeing great potential in the rough mountains that once were considered almost useless.

Oh.  My bad.  I misunderstood.

It is alright.
As for the telegram network, we propose a route from Romekate to Ruthenia, assuming that Romekate is part of the Telegram network.

3.  Don't you mean import?  You're not exactly a luscious jungle of fertility over there.

True, however we do have small patches here and there where those can be grown. We are looking to exchange resources that are more on the luxury side that you wouldn't consume alone, for more practical things like food that doesn't grow here.

Seeing how you are in heavy lack of resources, we simply wish for Carbines and Rifles. In return, we will give you Tea, Wheat and horses.

Mipoli is interested in starting trade with Ruthenia

What does Mipoli wish to Trade?
Ruthenia suggests that a percentage of trading profits go towards building a railway through the badlands between Mipoli and Ruthenia if they are to become longtime trading partners, in an effort to make the long distance less of an issue.

Hey, Snow.  I'm really happy that you are interested in joining, and I would like to accept, but cannot as the application stands.  Add me on Steam so that I can talk about it later.  I am heading home and have about 25 miles of California highway to go.

romek-inen started with nothing but desert and desert mountains

and a volcano

but they weren't that big, they had to conquer an entire foreign nation plus cut another one in half and then build up the land between the three realms in order to grow into new romekate

i'd feel cheated if someone can just join and say "im this big now k"

I see. Well, I basically have just desert and desert mountains too from what I see, however if I need to cut back on size I will do so. Basically my logic was:
"Okay, the nations over at the coast and more developed and fertile areas are smaller, and the more inland, less fertile ones are larger. If I put my country say, here, then it will be challenging terrain with little farmland, and the size shouldn't be an issue due to roughness of terrain and development."

I don't mean to be pushy or anything; This is my first time playing something like this. I'm totally cool with shrinking or negotiating or whatever. Besides, pissing off new neighbors =/= a good idea for running a country.

also that's a really big starting size just saying

Well, I see it under agriculture and terrain, most of that land is unfarmable and mountainous, E.G. like Japan IRL.

For example, if you look at Russia on a map, it seems enormous, however its actual population is just above Japan and far, far below the U.S.

Also to mention, this is my first time doing any sort of Geopolitical/Risk style game on a forum, so any advice or warnings would be appreciated.
