His name is not important. What is important is what he's going to do. He just loving hates Romek-inen, and these Romek worms feasting on its carcass. His whole life is just cold, bitter hatred. And he always wanted to die violently. This is the time of vengeance, and no life is worth saving. And he will put in the grave as many as he can. It's time for him to kill, and it's time for him to die.

Oh yeah to specify I want my capitol to touch the ocean along with 1 other major city if it's not too late

[CypherX]

They don't need to.  That's their choice, however, there should be a reason behind using cutting-edge technology.  Do you think it should be taken for granted?  Once a nation creates rockets, and now everyone has rockets?  I'm confused what you're trying to argue.

for the sake of the thread i'm just going to PM you

[Juncoph]

Be busy and on the west coast.  That's how.

Oh yeah to specify I want my capitol to touch the ocean along with 1 other major city if it's not too late

Thanks, it should be up now.


Everything else serious kinda processed well because, well, I don't really see much to moderate, except...

Where is Avalonia's large source of raw materials coming from?


Arcon goes ahead and annexes the land to the east, as the native representatives allow this action, hearing of the Anglish expansion.  A small occupation force fills the region.  Land speculators enter the land and strike up contracts with the natives.

[CypherX]

The nobles of Kyrev, in constant conflict, have started to become a thorn in the side of Kyrevan politics, internal and external. Unlike his father, Friedrich Wilhelm II lacks the supreme power of moderation and is unable to put an end to the bickering. His Chancellor seems to be having even less success, his general temperament not helping.

A drought sweeps through eastern Kyrev. Irrigation has helped, but only very minorly.

[SWAT One]

Arcon looks over at Kyrev and goes "Oh stuff."

[grunterdb1951]

Glances down to Kyrev, before going back to more steady expansions.

Also, cause I think Swat mentioned it, the chairmen still have rather prominent places in office, so the rifle deal would probably still be valid.

[CypherX]

Three coalitions have begun to identify themselves in the shouting fests in Parliament. Firstly, the nobles and industrialists under Duke Leopold the Elder, of Bärnau, represent the majority industrial interests of Kyrev. Secondly, the nobles under Prinz Eugen II, of Bresden, as well as 2/3s of Kyrev's generals represent the main military interests of Kyrev, though the Chief of Staff and the Minister of War are conspicuously absent from this party, choosing to remain loyal to the Kaiser. Lastly, the nobles under Duke Maximilian IV represent the river trade and colonization interests of Kyrev.

However, nearly a quarter of Kyrev's nobles and respective territories remain unaligned, as well as a large portion of the military and most of the area surrounding Königsberg. Indeed, many noble and commoner owned farms are strictly neutral, as well as all territory west of Trier. They prefer to bicker independently, or rarely not at all.

The Kaiser and the Chancellor remain helpless to stop the conflict for more than a few minutes at a time.

[Plethora]

Where is Avalonia's large source of raw materials coming from?

Wherever will sell them.  Th profit margin on raw materials is good in Avalonia, as there's plenty of demand from industry and, for the most part, not enough local supply to meet it, encouraging merchants to go somewhat far afield for them.

Avalonian companies begin to establish greater presences in the small, less developed nations of the region, like Izlandia, Saccren, and Milhamiah.  Trade with Conservatia is on the upswing, and a delegation is sent to Romekate to discern its openness to foreign merchants, namely Avalonia and the NCO.

Milhamiah

no go away
this is my protectorate

the Serisian government provides subsidies for Serisian and Milhamian companies in a protectionist economic policy.


Some poles with wires are set up between Karu and Sentrilli as a part of a government project.

Propeller propulsion becomes the preferred system over the paddle system due to the higher output of the propeller system, proven through several trials and demonstrations to the Serisian Strategic Naval Research Institute. Ships from the 1837 block and onward will use the propeller instead of the paddle wheel.
