The United Amerigo Republic

 

Trade Hubs are constructed throughout the State as business shows hope of thriving, as an added suggestion and similar economical risk the State begins constructing a National Stock Exchange ((3 Pages))

 

In the Senate a heavy debate continues on.

 

"We need to Expand! More resources and land for the people of the State!"

"That's preposterous..We are perfectly capable of handling the lands we now have."

"Then let it come to vote..."

 

Several days later, the Senate votes are tallied as the Majority vote is for Expansion. The Islands to the West of the UAR would be perfect for a new naval base and civilian settlement for new resources and land. ((MOD))

With the construction of National Recruitment Centers throughout the country. 100.000 young men enlist for the training programmes in Gascogne. With a 300.000 large military the State strengthens security around the eastern border in Montepellier and Bourbon. The incumbent premier was pleased, but wished for an even larger military for future operations.

 

 

A proposal is made to Windsoria, in exchange of a quarter of Evropa's naval assets Windsoria delivers 50.000 soldiers to increase the infantry amounts. They are promised to be used for Central Concordat expeditions and internal security. Meanwhile, the State requests a loan of 25.000 from Windsoria to develop new technology for the Concordat.

 

 

A delegation is send to communicate with Duke Logar as a negotiation plan is drafted. The ability to consolidate their presence in the eastern continent was an appealing idea,  which was embraced warmly.

The Empire of Oceanus

 

 

The Empire had accepted all trade agreements that had been offered to allow for more free trade, concerning the Republic of Andor they agreed that a connecting railway between the two nations and offered to help develop the canal to join the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans and easy commerce through the continent rather than going around it. The Empire was planning on becoming a champion of commerce in its area of the world, however they needed to fully expand across their area of the continent. However it takes a turn, they would move to expand up the coast in order to encircle the desert without risking losing the coastland to foreign colonization. 

 

New expansion marked outside of old borders (( Mod approval ))

 

As mentioned before the Empire was putting effort into desert exploration and attempting to find evidence of mineral wealth in the desert making expansion into it viable and profitable for the nation. The Empire encouraged Private Enterprise to invest in desert exploration to see if they can find mineral wealth or perhaps ruins from a lost civilization. If they can find evidence of vast mineral wealth in the desert it could make the Empire the leader in the mining industry.

 

The Navy of the Empire although modern and somewhat powerful was small compared to many of its peers, consisting of fifteen ships of assorted classes. There wasn't much the Empire could do right now in terms of expansion in its naval capacity but it would have its fleet patrol its East Coast with vigilance. Trade was important and it needed to be protected by ships and a navy capable of doing so.

The Noctem Republic 

 

The messenger from the Remnants is sent back to tell the African Remnants  that they would gladly accept a meeting with the leader, on the condition that they came to Alguers, the capital city of Noctem. 

 

With trade being a very important aspect within Noctem, the small navy of the Republic is set to watch the coast of the city doing daily patrols that reach 15 miles outside of the coast. 

 

With trading coming in from Oceanus and Africa, Hasas smiles as the food shortages will not be a problem for now however, plans are in the works to figure out some irrigation methods for the desert.

Once again, all inventions are good to go. 

I would also like to make it official that you can invent TWO projects at a time but remember you only have 5 mil inventions over the course of the game, so be wise in how you use them.

I will be making an event post and my own nation post later tonight.

Republic of Andor

 

((Mod ruling hizzle))

 

The Queen's expedition to the southern most isle of the three chain was a complete success. The island was inhabited only with locals, who allowed Andor to set up a trading post. Eventually full control of the island would be complete. With the eight thousand RPA (Republican People's Army) coming to stiffen defenses, the outcast was good. Unfortunately for Andor, the same smooth operation on the northernmost island worked for Kuanesh. The two nations easily grabbed the island closest to them. However, the Queen ordered her troops to take the middle island too. Not knowing it was a Kuanesh war goal, the two forces would meet at the middle island. In an awkward standoff, Andoran zeppelins float up to a safe distance from any guns. Waiting to see what would happen, the two different detachments face eachother.

 

The Kuanesh trying to expand into the Pacific would hear harrowing reports of pirates in the pacific. They could chose to not believe it and keep going, or stay off.

 

``

 

The Republic was world renown for it's garish parties and hungry appetites for pleasure. Many would refer to a promiscuous women as "As fickle as an adorman." The republicans did not care though, they enjoyed life too much. Using Kaf, which is a pungent herb as a drug. It could be distilled into tea or burned for it's aroma and effects. This trade helped Andorans, but also helped blow off steam. 

 

With all this back round knowledge, the Emperor of Oceanis is invited to the republic's capital of Caemelyn for a huge celebration. They would commemorate the Queen's nameday, the building of the canal, and closer relations with Oceanis. The celebrations would be wild and last a week. A racing zeppelin with a heavy escort is dispatched to pick up the Emperor. The Queen also hopes to meet him face to face, to judge his character....

 

National trade hubs have been finished, and with it money begins to flow more easily. The Bull's adaptable battle zeppelins are also nearing completion. The Canal will take another year, but the revenues from it will be on par with a national trade hub. Oceanis engineers are brought in, as the two nations co build the canal. It is made clear however that the canal belongs to the Republic. Oceanis however will receive a yearly royalty from the canal's taxes. They can also trade through it tax free and use it for any military movement. 

 

The Queen's Dragoons receive a total overhaul. Four thousand recruits are added to their numbers. They are the best troops in the Republic, though it's entire army is notoriously small. They don't need numbers to win however, not when they have skills, technology, and trained officers on their side.

MODERATOR EVENT

 

As the soldiers and navy of the Gallipigos swarm over the Central Pacific Islands, they encounter a number of primitive islanders on the outlying islands in the chain. Many are armed with nothing more than stone or shell-tipped spears and thatched shields, certainly no match for the modern infantry and naval guns; however, they present them with gifts of fruit and beads as they land on the island, seeming rather unhostile and welcoming towards the explorers...

 

However, they find something completely unexpected upon landing upon the beach head of the main island:

A medieval society of islanders, armed with iron armor, swords, lances, horses, and the likes. They speak a strange language unlike any they've heard before, and appear to worship a series of primitive island gods representing the seasons, the sun, and the moon.

 

You find a group of them fishing peaceably. Upon finding out that they speak a very rough dialect of Amerigo English, the translator manages to convince the fishing party to take the expedition to their city.

 

 

A delegation waving the flag of their tiny island kingdom comes out to meet the exploring party, greeting them in a very hard to understand dialect of the English language:

 

"Wulcome. Who yoo, und where come frumi?"

[craotor 617]

Duke Logar walked the streets of the middle levels of his mountain city, it was a rare occasion for the people of the lower levels, commoners usually never witnessed the Duke so up and close and now he was visiting their homes! It had been only a few years since Logar took up the throne of Fenris but he was already regarded as a great leader who truly cared for his people and more importantly for order. This was not to say he was loved by all, there was always rumors about lowborn scum who lived deep in the mountains who seeked to overthrow the Duke and establish a more “democratic” government, but this was the talk of madmen. It was generally regarded by the people of Fenris that the social order and the ducal laws where the only thing preventing their civilisation from complete collapse. It matter not, this subversion was already being investigated by Baron Heinrik the spymaster. Today was a day of celebration and not to worry the minds of the common folk.

 

Baron Jacques, Baron Heinrik and the Steward Louis accompanied the Duke as he made his way down the dimly lit street. The steward began to speak about the newly claimed land: “Your excellency, the most noble Sanguine reports that he has arrived safely with your troops, there seems to be no one there to challenge your claim. And about the land, it is composed primarily out of forest which will be useful to build the settlement, the land could also be used for farming if need be. All in all it seems like a good addition to your realm. Shall I give the order to transfer some of the common folk to the land in order to begin the construction of a settlement?” To this the Duke simply noded in approval, the steward bowed and went on his way.

 

The Duke waved at the people staring at his parade, although it was rare for the Duke to visit the lower levels of Tourhai tradition dictates that he must walk with an escort of no more than 70 of his personal guard and that all of his courtiers should follow him. The result was that the street of the new district was filled with noise and people. Baron Jacques seemed to ignore this as he began to talk to the Duke “Sire, I have also received word from the noble Sanguine and he has helped me devise of a very interesting innovation. The Knights of Fenris have always used steel plate armor to protect themselves during war but alas with the invention of gunpowder and the rifle armor seems to have become a thing of the past, except I believe I have found a way to bring it back. This will once more grant protection to your loyal knights while also conserving their speed. I request your permission to allow me to continue my studies.” The Duke was obviously intrigued by this so he granted his approval and the tiny scientist quickly ran off.

 

Finally the Duke and what was left of his council had arrived at their destination. A grand hub of trade and commerce extended itself in front of him, warehouses from dozens of different companies and dozens of new banks filled this newly built district. The royal treasury would fill very quickly. Baron Heinrik the spymaster stood next to the Duke and smiled “Sire it is magnificent, our economy shall surely flourish. But alas that is now what I wish to report to you. Count Russ has come in contact with the Evropean Commonwealth, negotiations will begin shortly. Besides this I will be launching an operations to try and find any hidden agitators. Today is a day of glory to the Duchy.”  Duke Logar smiled and thought the same.

Invention Type (Military/Civilian/Etc):Military (Pok Aproved)

Invention Name: Knights Armor Mk1

Inventor: Baron Jacques and tested by the noble Sanguine

Description (At least a DETAILED paragraph):  Body armor made of an alloy of steel and carbon plates. Two plates covered the front area and one plate on the lower back protected the kidneys and other vital organs. The armor doesn't severely impede the mobility of the soldier and are reasonably comfortable to wear although it does reduce agility somewhat. Although the first models are not 100% bulletproof there have been successes at defending against shrapnel and light caliber bullets.

The Republic of Kuanesh

 

 

The Island of Katatung

 

The dragoon are first to to middle island in the archipelago, but not by much. The 100 men make first contact with Kuanese marines near the center of the island, where they are setting up camp. Of course the nations had had dealings before, but never had they been forced to military action.
 
There are 5,000 marines on the island, but the Andorians may not guess that they are outnumbered. Five warships are visible from high ground floating offshore, along with a few transports. Once these are sighted, it isn't long before a platoon of Kuanese crests a nearby hill, and approaches.
 
The Kuanese explain their presence and question the Andorians on their own intentions. They are slightly hostile, but when the Andorians reveal that they have occupied the southernmost island, the Kuanese nod and leave, saying that they will continue the discussion in the morning.
 
But it was not to be.
 

 
The response when the report is radioed back to Javakta is swift: the intruders are to be removed immediately. As night falls, the marines quietly surround the dragoon's camp, and open fire from all directions. Offshore, the Kuanese warships train their guns to the sky, prepared to open fire at any zeppelins which attempt to descend.
 

 
Outnumbered 50 to one, there is little hope for the Andorian expedition, and the Kuanese demand surrender. Meanwhile, an additional 10,000 marines are deployed from the core islands with 25 warships, and begin to sail toward the southernmost island along the Oceanic coast. Their mission is to destroy any naval forces there, blockade the island to starve the soldiers there of supplies, and if they have a clear advantage, to take it by force.
 
The same day, a missive is sent to the Andorian queen, declaring that the Republic of Kuanesh will allow no eastern incursions into the Pacific, and offering a sum of 1,000 Rupiahs if they will immediately withdraw their troops and acknowledge Kuanese dominance in said region.
 
In the central Pacific, the expeditionary force's reports are good. The natives seem harmless, and small colonies are established on the outer islands. The largest island seems to contain a high-functioning society, but they too are determined to pose no threat. The marines therefore offer the kingdom an alliance and protection, and ask to set up an embassy on their land.
 
Back on Kuanesh, the Aji commissions the construction of a major shipyard in the city of Lakara, on the opposite side of the capital island. Expected to consume most of the treasury, it will nevertheless ensure Kuanesh's naval superiority. (-100,000 Rupiahs)

Hold off on that canal dirty, I'll post the costs and benefits of building it when trade mechanics come out. It won't be cheap.

 

Waelicia

 

"I think I tried to tell them something similar when I got here," says the man with a wink. "They won't listen," He adds as he turns to the larger man and begins to speak in the gibberish language. Slowly, the man seems to grow angrier and angrier, until he bursts out shouting, gesticulating wildly at the British, before turning around and mounting his horse.

 

The clearly-British man then looks back, his expression one of pity. "He says you have half an hour to leave. If it's not too much trouble...try talking to them again after they know what you can do. I'd rather like to see Lauria again..."

 

With that the Waelicians ride up the path again, and moments later, cannons begin to be wheeled out at the top of the cliffs. Technologically superior as the British are, their positioning is frankly atrocious, and the first rounds of shrapnel shot inflict dozens of casualties on the beachhead. The Waelicians seem to consider this deadly salvo to be a "warning shot," and no further attacks come.  It would be advisable to to either withdraw or take higher ground very quickly.

Kingdom of Eeyerland

 

Eeyerland was thriving. Admittedly, it's cities were rather medium sized, and not very breathtaking. But to the Eeyerish they were beautiful, they were home - and nothing is more beautiful than home. The towns are very early 20th century, with early automobiles being common place, paved roads, and a dim layer of smog resting in the sky. The most notable feature of all the cities however was the interconnecting tram lines, electric carts whizzing up and down streets.

 

 

As much as he loved his country, King Aelf IV wanted to see it improve under his reign. He employed scientists into his council, from domestic and military focuses. He also did this with building planners, from all across the country. After several meetings over the course of a month, they decided what would be the best ideas to pursue. A national trade hub would be erected in Kildere, bringing an economic surge to the village, and the entire nation. With it's almost dead-center position on the island, it seems like the ideal place for traders across Eeyerland to flock to. With the country's dead-certainty on self reliance when it came to food, it definitely seemed necessary too. (-25,000 Potats)

 

 

 

The second decree that was passed is the militarization of aircraft. Biplanes were already heavily used in the civilian and agricultural world, mainly as cropdusters. However, military engineer Eoghan McDonnell saw the potential for the army to boast a large air force, to which he said would be capable of engaging ground, naval and other air units. Thrilled by this idea, King Aelf IV quickly agreed, and funded the project.

 

Invention Type (Military/Civilian/Etc): Military
Invention Name: Pot Felter-109
Inventor: Eoghan McDonnell
Description (At least a DETAILED paragraph): The PF-109 would be the best omni-purpose fighter plane in the known world, so Eoghan believed. Fitted with a revolutionary engine, the closed-canopy monoplane would be able to take the pilot miles in the air, and carry them for hundreds of miles and back before needing to recharge. It would carry a state-of-the-art customisable armament of heavy machine guns and under the fuselage, bombs or even torpedoes. This fighter would be the main vehicle in Eoghan's dream airforce for Eeyerland, the Skeyerfelters.

To accompany this seemingly revolutionary machine, is another aviation based invention, designed to detect any aircraft or naval assets around the island.

 

Invention Type (Military/Civilian/Etc): Military

Invention Name: Radar
Inventor: Paddie McRadar (kek)
Description (At least a DETAILED paragraph): Radar is an object-detection system that uses radio waves to determine the range, altitude, direction, or speed of objects. It can be used to detect aircraft or ships from up to 300 miles away. It does so using a Chain Home system, in which large radio dishes 'floodlight' a large area ahead of it. If something larger than a bird enters the space, it reflects the radio waves, which then determines it's position on a small screen. From here, the radar operator reports the position to airfields and ships.
