Pureimp10 5178 Share Posted August 17, 2018 ((spoke to hanrahan via discord on my phone previously, did not have access to a computer to post my application until now, sorry for any confusion)) Nation: Russian Empire Leader’s History (Research your Monarch!) : Alexander had only ruled for a short four years since his father's assassination. An autocrat at heart, he believed with his entire being that the monarch was the state, and that the monarch's power should not be limited by advisors or other obstacles. This was why he had cancelled his father's original decree regarding advisory commissions. While he loved his father, he disagreed with a majority of his father's politics. While his father had been steering the country in a more liberal direction, Alexander believed in remaining true to Russian Orthodoxy, Nationality, and Autocracy. It was his hope to restore Russia to its former glory under the Empress Catherine or the Emperor Peter. Nation’s Recent History: The Empire's defeat in the Crimean war was nearly thirty years ago, but its effects still resonated to this day. Russia had seen how quick foreign powers were to intervene in their wars, and knew that allies would be needed in order to counteract the other great powers of the West. It was with this in mind that the League of Three Emperors had been formed, and it was Russia's intention to stay in it as long as possible. Despite occasional disputes with the Austrians over influence in the Balkans, the two German powers were an excellent buffer against the West, and a good fail-safe should there be another repeat of the 1850s. Now, with a new Emperor on the throne, Russia's primary goals were to build more warm water ports and railroads, and continue the industrialization of the nation.

The_Mad_Skylord 28 Share Posted August 17, 2018 In light of the recent revelations regarding a lack of literacy in these parts (as my reservation was clearly not understood to be a reservation), I shall reserve Austria-Hungary. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
