Nation Forge — Iron Desert [1863] — Beware the Ides of March

[mattsos]

There was a delegate sent to Arcon for the naval conference and it is no doubt he heard rumours about the war as he went from city to city.

don't think this matters now, since it's over

Milhamiah concludes it's surrender.
if it gets vassalized i'm going to be leaving

[Neventii]

Increased water supply has allowed for artifical lakes. We begin creating plantations. Population increase by 4%. All new crops have a significantly lower collection than bread or steel with 2%.

[CypherX]

The previous demands stand.

agree
leaving, bye

Alright guys.  If you don't cause too much of a ruckus, I can promise aI will have some resource maps done tonight.


Arconian farmers, after working to cultivate existing crops, as well as to gather information on what crops and agricultural practices are ideal for Arcon, form an assembly to help further agricultural practices.  Sir Edward Guilles, an experienced manager of large farms, is elected to be the chairman of the board.  The group has submitted an application to Parliament, so that the group might be funded in part by the government.

The Southeast Acquisition of 1823, although granting more land to Arcon, has upset indigenous peoples.  These peoples are granted the right to keep their land, with the conditions that they follow recent and ongoing directions taken by agricultural projects, and that 10% of their land can be subject to conversion.  Should they agree, Arcon offers them complete tax exemption for 6 years, and full citizenship upon completion of this term.

The Southeast Acquisition also has given it access to the river, which Arconian settlers have dubbed the Auligne River.  The river's size allows for shipments to easily travel most of its length with relative ease.  However, with the rise in demand for efficient river travel, steamboats begin to be more common.

The small port town of Côte Verte, located at the mouth of the Auligne River, expands as trade increases.  Vagabonds from throughout the area begin to find work there as industry begins to move in.

leaving, bye

Bruh.

A small force sails to Wienburg and raises up the general negotiation flag.  Prince Önecht Jaema III proposes an alliance and trade route between our two great nations.

Also please moderate the actions taken in my previous post, please.

fine, i was pretty angry at the fact that cypher wouldn't answer why washk needs a loving trade port about 350 miles away from their homelands it makes NO SENSE

[TristanLuigi]

Bruh.

Derp.
Yes, agreed.

The natives accept the deal, although many Arconians feel that these (in their opinion) savages shouldn't be given the same rights as themselves.

Take a chill pill or 20 - having a foreign trade port isn't really that uncommon. See, for instance, the British port of Gibraltar, or Portuguese ports in Africa.

Two ships arrive at Nazgar and open trade negotiations, offering their best produce first and foremost; Firearms, field artillery, gunpowder and sabres, and offering some luxuries and fish. One other arrives at Wienburg. The same trading goods are offered, and maps are requested from each so they have better understandings of the region.

[Nizza Deutchsen Man]

I be offering trade to all coastal nations of the world.



I doubt ill find anything but how about we have the Northern Fleet go around the north-west corner of the map and look for any possible landmasses.

just cuz you know, we need maps of the entire world as we know it.

it was not just this
let's go back to the beginning

Milhamian messengers and diplomats come to Kyrev's door with a request for a trading route, to jumpstart their relations.

soon after:

Kyrev closes its ports to Milhamiah.

(Nation post update coming soon, swat)

i don't know why perhaps we'll never know, but this is how it turned out. my best guess is that kyrev realized it's covert alliances were much stronger than my lake nation's and decided that he wanted to threaten me until he got what he wanted.

also expand southbound to the river that is just north of slavanaya, i want to have walshk create a border-lands inbetween vlast and valb

[TristanLuigi]

Sorry, there were a lot of posts I had to read through quickly to catch up on wars, so I didn't notice much pertaining to me.

This gracious donation is accepted warmly, and the maps are drawn up and given.

I'm aware of the hostilities and their cause, I'm simply stating that control over a distant port isn't entirely unjustified.
