“The Argentine Republic is a mighty nation, to be sure. Boasting one of the largest food exporting economies in the entire world, its’ neutrality in the Great War has allowed us to become one of the wealthiest countries in the entire world. Tragically, much of rural and lower-class Argentina will never see any benefit from this wealth, as most of it goes to the upper class, the wealthy. I denounce this, and, as your president, will continue to seek reform and reconciliation that allows for every Argentine man to achieve greatness, regardless of his status.”
Excerpt from the speech of President Yrigoyen, Aug. 15. 1916

Things indeed were going well for the nation. But there was still much work to be done. Just over 9 months into his reign of doing nothing much, biding his time, and solidifying his power and popularity, President Yrigoyen is ready to initiate his agenda. Firstly, he picks up his phone, prodding the dial for a few moments. It rings once, before a line on the other end picks up.
“Comenzar la operación Nécora.”
“Sí, señor Presidente.”

3 days later, the presidential cabinet had convened. Sitting in a wide office in the Casa Rojada, they sat with folded arms, listening to one General Enrique Mosconi receive orders from the President. Oil interests in the country need development, and rather than allow it to fall into the hands of the wealthy, it should be assured that the benefit from petroleum goes to the people. A state-run oil company is established, the YPF, with an 8 million peso startup grant, after which it is to be self dependent. General Mosconi is to be the head of this new department. This was a truly revolutionary project: the first state-run company in the entire world, the first realization of a growing socialist nation.

3 days after that, the president makes a major political move by publically meeting with leaders from the 2 major trade unions in Argentina: the Federación Obrera Regional Argentina IX and the FORA V, promising that the government will work more closely with the unions to build socialism and a united front against imperialism, and calling for mutual aid to protect workers rights. Once nicknamed “el poludo” (the hairy armadillo) for his his introverted character and aversion to public appearances, the president is overcoming this to deliver a major speech right after, calling for the remilitarization of Argentina, citing a growing imperialist threat domestically and worldwide, and the need more than ever to protect and arm the global proletariat to bring about democratic change and world peace. 

Elsewhere, the growing socialist ideals are leading to some troubles. Beyond just some of the ultra wealthy clutching at their pearls, there is fear that the radical socialism spreading through the country might be becoming too radical. The most notable evidence of this is a new, increasingly popular youth movement. Juventud was Radical formed by anarchist students at the University of Buenos Aires, organizing strikes against perceived bourgeois and elitist policies. The movement is gaining smaller chapters in other cities, becoming a hotspot for anarchist and communist social activism.

Finally, at the behest of some prominent expatriate French Argentines as well as socialist groups, not least among them the Juventud Radical, the President agrees to arm and train volunteer soldiers, as many as will volunteer, to go to Caucasia, Sweden, and France, and aid them in their revolutionary struggle against imperialism. Additionally, Argentina will lend significant aid to other countries. Frozen beef, cereals, wheat, and other food exports are sent to Caucasia, France, and Sweden, and China to aid them in revolutionary struggle. Perhaps even more important, a shipment of 35,000 wool coats (10,000 to Caucasia and Sweden, 15,000 to China) is sent to Caucasia, China, and Sweden to help them against the bitter cold.

Actions:

• Juventud Radical formed by anarchist students at the University of Buenos Aires, organizing strikes against perceived bourgeois and elitist policies. The movement gains smaller chapters in other cities, becoming a hotspot for anarchist and communist social activism.

• President Yrigoyen publically meets with delegates from the 2 major trade unions to solidify ties between labor and the government

• The Argentine Re-Armament begins, the Argentine army seeks new volunteers and begins training and equipping new troops as well as re-equipping old ones and mobilizing for war. Factories begin to pump out new guns and ships, especially the new Destroyer type ship.

• The Argentine air force, in a pitiful state of affairs, is getting rehauled by new leadership. New planes are to be constructed, existing ones repaired, new air corps trained, etc.

• President Yrigoyen appoints General Enrique Mosconi, a loyal general and close friend, to be the head of the newly created YPF. 

• Operation Nécora begins.

Nation of Choice (and why?); Argentina

Nation’s historical background leading up to 1912 (Would like a paragraph + here giving a full account of your nation's state at the moment. Particularly important if you want to apply for one of the Greater Powers);

Argentina is a freshly socialist country, having only just won over the country after decades of conservative rule, under the leadership of Hipólito Yrigoyen and his Radical Civic Union. Known to many as “el padre de los pobres” (the father of the poor). An outspoken socialist and reformist, he is leading a sweeping set of social reforms aimed at repairing wealth inequality, voting rights, and university reform. There is staunch opposition to his rule from the wealthy, though he is loved and adored by the middle class. Recent Argentine history has been marked by a period of major economic growth, and Yrigoyen’s regime seems to be making no change to that trend. Argentina is one of the world’s top food exporters, making it in return one of the wealthiest countries in the entire world; its’ neutrality in the Great War allowed this wealth to grow even larger. it has a substantial military and a powerful navy, and the new government’s industrialization policies are ensuring that Argentina will remain a powerful, wealthy, and modern country for decades to come.

"Honestly pathetic," says Robert, reading over the document "A weak attempt to circumvent the consequences of their heathen barbarism. The Crown of Norland relinquishes their own religion only because it condemns them. Not because they care for Humanity or the grace of God. They don't even have the decency to take back the mantle of Canonism, now they're just atheist heathens."

"Damn, that's nicely written."

Robet Caius grimaces, reading over the final missives "How many must die before the heathens repent their ways.."

"Wisely said.." murmurs Elias, concerned.

god, this makes me so wet, i love you

"hey wanna convert to Canonism now" says Elias Colborn

an old man remembers violently murdering Romanos over the course of an honor duel, after which Romanos magically came back to life. He shrugs, content in the knowledge that at least the vile undead was truly gone this time.

"Mere attempt to salvage whatever dignity they have left... To only go to ruin it once again with these crazed statements to the one and true King Canonius."

"The 'one and true king' who murdered churchmen and a boy of 14? In cold blood he slaughtered the Emperor who was only a child, took the throne for himself and then, after promising explicitly not to do so, attacked and murdered several churchmen? And yet somehow the rightful rulers of the Empire who are attempting to reign in the chaos of a bloodthirsty lunatic and restore order and peace to the lands are 'crazed?' How disgustingly pitiful." Says Elias, a staunch Imperial loyalist.

What. Medasculors were treated as guns and failed maxgemini. If you want gun roleplay I suggest a rp Mount and Blade Napoleonic wars server. Guns on a minecraft medieval fantasy server would not work and haven't worked.

Medasculors. Weren't. Guns. Say it with me slowly, see if you understand. Medasculors were gun-shaped magic staffs, not guns. They did not have any firing mechanism nor were they actual firearms. They were literally sticks shaped like rifles, not guns. In fact, you could manually go out, chop down a tree, get a branch, and rp turning your branch into a gun shape and you would have something that is the exact same thing as a medasculor, and you could call it a ******* medasculor too because why the **** not. Medasculors are not guns.

Magic pistols didn't work and they were more limited than this. Guns will not work. Look at the precedent before suggesting things like this. It hasn't worked nor will it work, no matter of how much good and in depth writing and lore there is.

Magic didn't work because they were stupid magic bullshit, not because they were guns. There is no precedent for guns, we have never, ever had real guns before. Medasculors are not a valid precedent or comparison, they aren't guns. There's no reason to expect it wouldn't work. The only precedent we do have is cannons, which were perfectly fine working siege engines.

I'm not completely sure if people will actually roleplay it the way how perfect it'd be. People will shoot you and expect you to die with a single shoot, even if it's close or long range. Best way to find out tbh would be trial lore, but i'm still unsure even about the trial part. People don't powergame any less than mages do because both of them are people (not trying to sound like a sjw)

You aren't comprehending what I'm saying. People can powergame with the potential guns but they can also powergame with literally any other weapon in the game, to no worse an extent. You are right, people could shoot you and expect you to die in a single shot. People can also shoot you with a crossbow and expect you to die in a single shot. Or slash you with a sword and expect you to die instantly. While it is possible to powergame with these potential guns, you cannot powergame any more than with any other weapon. It is not worse or easier to powergame with or more powergamey than anything else.
