  1. The French Republic France, with keyholdings already in Northern Africa the French interest in Africa existed long before the 1880s push for territory in the continent The French presence in Africa dates to the 17th century, but the main period of colonial expansion came in the 19th century with the invasion of Ottoman Algiers in 1830. Since then France has established small holdings in Africa. France rebuilt a new empire mostly after 1850, concentrating chiefly in Africa as well as Indochina and the South Pacific. Republicans, at first hostile to empire, only became supportive when Germany after 1880 started to build its own colonial empire. As it developed, the new French empire took on roles of trade with the motherland, supplying raw materials and purchasing manufactured items. Rebuilding an empire rebuilt French prestige, especially regarding international power and spreading the French language and the Catholic religion. Charles de Freycinet was a French statesman and four times Prime Minister during the Third Republic and member of the Republican Union. He entered the Senate in 1876 as a follower of Gambetta, and in December 1877 became Minister of Public Works in the cabinet of Jules Armand Stanislaus Dufaure. He passed a great scheme for the gradual acquisition of the railways by the state and the construction of new lines at a cost of three milliards, and for the development of the canal system at a further cost of one milliard. He retained his post in the ministry of William Henry Waddington, whom he succeeded in December 1879 as Prime Minister and Minister for Foreign Affairs. He passed an amnesty for the Communards, but in attempting to steer a middle course (between the Catholics and the anti-clericalists) on the question of the religious associations, he lost Gambetta's support, and resigned in September 1880. discord; mcginty85
  2. The Duchy of Morass The King is dead! Long live the King! Silence befell the jolly Great hall when Lord Harcourt opened the letter from the Capitol discovering the death of the King, an old friend died in the prime of life. A coldness filled the air as the joy vanquished the room, Lord Harcourt turned to his Marshal to ready his retinue for a journey to Klagenfurt at the express invitation of his majesty the King. After many days of travel older Duke finally makes his way to the city, flying the banners of his house, the Golden lion on a field of white above him, Long had he kept away from the Capitol concerned with the affairs of his own state, and the production of iron mining to supply the realm. Lord Carlisle would swiftly make his way to the throne room of the King to pay homage, and express his deepest condolences to the death of his father, and to the Queen regent, for the passing of her beloved husband. Oath of Fealty “I, Carisle of the House Harcourt, Duke of Morass and Count of Corwen do swear by God to remain faithful to his Highness King Thomas II, King of all Klagenfurt, To guide and advise him for as long as my heart beats. My sword is yours as well as my honour from this day until my last.” The Duke would rise thereafter to mingle with the other Lords of the realm who have come to pay Homage to the new King. In other Affairs The Duke would write to his council to open further mines and expeditions to improve the wealth generation in the region, as well as getting more peasants working Drills are to begin for the Morass retinue left in Corwen to begin improving and honing their skill to rival the best in the land A new statue is asked to be commissioned in Corwen Town Square as a memorial to the late King.
  3. The Duchy of Albion Dark Purple Population 90 000 Couple(40s), up to 6 children Levy 5 000 Militia 2 000 Archers 1 000 Knights Albion like most lands have been fought over for centuries by petty lords squabbling over the right to rule the roaming hills of Albion. Seat of house Harcourt, Albions rich mineral stricken lands feed the wealth of armour and gold for the realm, acres of forest for timber mills have sustained the Duchy since the time of its creation in the 11th century. Although not the oldest of the lands that make up the proud kingdom of Klagenfurt Albion is still one for tradition and edicate with some of the most strongest castles dotting the landscape of the duchy, with Corwen sitting atop. The Harcourts rise to power was one of unconventional standings, betraying their former liege lords the House of Trevelyon for the invading armies of Klagenfurt. For their loyalty to the crown were bestowed the title of Duke of the Duchy of Albion. Since that day House Harcourt has worked for the betterment of the realm, acting as advisors and guardians of the Marshes of the East. Throughout the Harcourt administration of the duchy of Albion, economic success and failure has been part and parcel of ruling lands surrounded by forests, marshes and mystery. With much of the thick forest and marsh lands unoccupied and unmapped Duke William Harcourt II ‘The Wise’ spent many years searching the wilds and taming the tribes that inhabit the darkest parts of the Marsh lands to heel, under the banner of the Kings of Klagenfurt. Corwen Corwen, one of the oldest and grandest cities east of the river Selle this once Capital is home to the Silver shrine and the Grand Temples of old. Corwen is situated in the heart of Albion, with a natural bog as a defense of the great city. with a great wealth found in mining and fishing industries selling what they can to the capital and the rich western lands. Corwen is built upon two hills with the setting sun nestled between the mounds. Corwens solid stone walls make for a tough enemy in the event of a siege, with no army in history breaching the walls of the city. Carlisle Harcourt ( ‘The Mule of the East’) AGE; 49 Carlisle Harcourt 7th lord of Corwen and protector of the duchy of Albion, nicknames the Mule in his youth due to his intelligence, sure-footedness, toughness, endurance, disposition, and natural cautiousness. Carlisle has always been a tactician and a man of politics. Although rarely in the capital, Carlisle as the oldest of all the higher nobility in Klagenfurt he has taken it upon himself to use this opportunity to further his family's interests acting as an advisor to the young King, offering his many years of leadership and staunch support of the Crown as his bargaining chip back to the forefront of the realms politics. Although older than any of the other Lords, Lord Harcourt is no easy foe and is patient and ruthless to the very end.
  4. The Ottoman Empire Strong Roots The year 1684, the Ottoman Empire seems to enjoy a resurgence in her wealth and stability under the watchful eye of the Grand Vizier.

  7. Application House Name: Tarly Holdings: Hornhill Lord: Randyll Tarly Who do they bend the knee to?: House Tyrell Lord’s of the Reach Religion: Faith of the Seven Brief History (1-2 Paragraphs): House Tarly, one of the oldest and strongest vassals sworn to house Tyrell. Unlike other houses of old the Tarlys bred soldiers, not Kings claiming no ancestral crown for themselves, as they are a house that is loyal to a fault. Randyll Tarly is a prominent and well respected battle commander who served the crown on numerous occasions, leading the armies during Robert's Rebellion to give him his first and only defeat. House Tarly's militant traditions play into this role of breeding commanders, with Savage Sam, slaying the Vulture King in open rebellion against the crown with the ancestral sword of their family. Heartsbane. Although swearing allegiance to Renly House Tarly refused to swear fealty to Stannis upon the death of his King, slaying many Florent men in fear they would join Stannis’ cause. House Tarlys words are “First in Battle” this couldn't be truer for any House. Their fierce loyalty and knowledge of their place shows the Tarlys to be a trusted ally to any who seek them. However if opposing them, risk an enemy who would go to the ends of time to win. Discord: already have it
  8. Italy soldiers are deployed to Madagascar on transports flanked by 2 pre dreadnaught battleships the troops count at 150,000 men taking full advantage of the chaos insured by the French and the state of rebellion the Madagascar people were in. With Italians offering clear and decisive and firm leadership. The troops plan to land in mahajanga and march towards the capital Antananarivo. The Blackshirt march on Rome a show of force my fascists calling for a strong Italian voice on the issues facing the world around them, not to coware up and sit in silence as the world burns! The march is to end outside the Palace of King Emmanuel where a speech is scheduled by the king himself. On a balcony come 3 pm on the 3rd of the month where he calls for unity in the fight against the left and Marxism which has plagued this world. As well as the threat of our neighbors who seek to strike fear and strength in our spheres of influence. This claim calls from the King who claims “The right can’t be divided as the left grows!” this threat of our neighbors cannot be seen more prevalent in the Australians based in Corsica! An island which rightfully belongs to this great nation has been stolen by French pretenders will we fight for it? Yes, we shall! Italy will become a nation United once more under one right-wing government. And if that is not achieved I King Emmanuel third of my name will seize control of the government until one is fit for office to unite the people! Declared the king. A naval blockade of Corsica begins with the plan to starve out the Austrian soldiers on the island and seize the island for Italy while France continues in her civil war unable to stop this. Italy vows neutrality in any Balkan conflict offering to be an independent intermediary to resolve the conflicts between Greece Serbia and the noble Ottoman Empire. Actions - 150,000 troops sent to Madagascar to seize the rebellious colony from the French - Blackshirts march on Rome a show of force to the people that they won't stop til strong leadership is in play. Marching to the Kings Palace where he calls for a coalition and unification of the right-wing to fight our old enemies and new enemies making reference to the Austrians and socialism. - A naval blockade of Corsica - Italy vows neutrality in any conflict in the Balkans
  9. Italy THE RED MENACE As communism continues to strange the nations of the world Italy with the support of her King and many other nationalists who the King in recent months has continued to rally around him has called for direction intervention to stop the threat of a red scare in Italy by exerting her influence on a more global scale, as to be perceived as the new power she is. Military support is offered to all countries fighting a socialist uprising including Sweden, France and the Russian Union. Mussolini in a rally of nationalists in Rome called it “The greatest threat to the security and safety of everyday God fearing Italians is the threat of the Godless Socialist threat! Who seek to do nothing but suffocate our freedom and our nationalist spirit!” Mussolini and leading nationalists in the fascist party call for the formation of a Blackshirt movement of loyal and capable Italians willing to lay down their lives for King and country. Made up mostly of ex-military personnel. fascists in government call a vote of no confidence in the aging Prime Minister claiming him to no longer be fit for office! Demanding an election be called. Rallying support from ex military and patriots from around Italy who feel italy could've done better than a desert! industry is continually invested and opted for by the government calling it “best for business” to continue shopping! This is hoped to restart civilian economy once more and invite investment and opportunity in italy, encouraged by the economic policies laid down prewar. The government expands a military order and asks for a build up of new fighter planes and bombers to be used and produced on a massive scale. With over 500 planes ordered over a 3 year period, by putting to work as many people in the industry business, and hoping to expand already established businesses to grow into the rural south. Actions Military support is offered o Sweden and Russia to fight their civil wars, while a lend lease agreement is offered to the 3rd Republic, to fight the communist threat. As not signing up to the Vichy conference Italy is under no legal obligation to follow it. Fascists stir up the people in an anti socialist fever to call for the formation of a Blackshirt militia to help in the fight against socialism at home, with leading figures such as the King, Mussolini and D’Annunzio all pushing for this Fascists call a vote of no confidence in the aging Prime Minister claiming he is no longer fit for office and Italy's Mutilated Victory is a sentiment to this, calling out the old Giolitti in only really gaining Italy a desert and a canal. Military order of a combined total of 500 fighter and bombers for the growing Italian Air Force within a 3 year timeframe Further investment and push is put on industry and trying to tackle unemployment and growing the economy post war.

  12. Kingdom of Italy Actions The Treaty of Rome is signed between the countries of Italy and the Netherlands over the sale of Eritrea to the Dutch, in return for support on later ventures. Italy formally reaffirms her commitment to the Central Powers in signing a new comprehensive agreement which would see Italy gain new colonies and the return of her cores held by Austria Hungary such as Dalmatia and key ports in the Adriatic. With the gaining of these new colonies, it is hoped to raise the nationalist opinion and gain support in a move to solidifying stronger government, with many in the press suggesting it was nationalist pressure which put on the government to take the deal, to increase Italian prestige at home and abroad to be a country to be feared and respected! The Italian government take up the Serbian offer to help in the reform and revitalisation of their army in whatever way they can New legislation is passed from the Chambers with the rise of nationalism, the plan i to play to the nationalist feeling by instituting a new ceremonial uniform for the officer class of the army, being reminiscent to the old armour of the Roman Empire. Italy would ask for German and Austrian help in the revitalisation of the industry of Italy to make her a global competitor. The government would like a poll to be done, in the run up to the election next year to see where they sit in terms of votes, as fearing the giving of universal rights to all her citizens last year could have a detrimental impact to the elite rule. Wanting to know if the Liberals still maintain control over the state, or if their push of nationalism has gone too far to allow extremists to gain a foothold. One newspaper writes that “Giolitti has finally lost it! is he a liberal, socialist, elite or nationalist? His policies fall few and short between, clarity or he must go!” In Giolitti's latest conference on how to tackle the rising problems of the national question and the growth of income inequality.

  16. Application Discord Name; mcginty85 Nation of Choice (and why?); Italy, because I like learning about eh collapse and fragility of the Liberal State in school, and how it was unable to cope with the pressures of nationalism. 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); Italy was founded in 1861 after King Emmanuel I of Piedmont united Italy under his family. During this time Italy struggled to be seen as a 'Great Power in Europe due to their failed attempts in colonising Africa due to pressures from France in the 1800s. Pushing the Italians for closer relations to Germany, leading to the signing of the Triple Alliance in 1882, despite Italian hatred towards the Austrians who refused to allow for the full return of Italian speaking lands to them. However despite Italy signing the Triple Alliance they were never a true ally for Germany, often trying to maintain good relations with both the Germans, Britain and France. Trying to use this leverage to let the Great Powers of the world let Italy gain colonies in Africa to boost her prestige as a global power. At the moment the Italian State is fragile with a government never lasting more than 2 years, and coalitions of liberal 'independents' often occurred with Italy having more than 30 Prime Ministers in the period of Britain having 7. The rise in nationalism and the left also affected the scales of power in Italy. Nation’s Government Type and Leader/Party; A theoretical constitutional monarchy, exec power lay with the Monarch but used ministers to execute these prerogatives. 2 Houses, the upper Senate and the lower chamber of Deputies. Leader; Giovanni Giolitti, of the Liberal Union Any special characters you made and want to introduce?; No Nation’s relative army/navy statistics (If you can’t find any pm me); Army 5 Million (1915 figure) Navy; 16 Battleships 23 Cruisers 39 Destroyers Did you read all the information?; Yes Suggestions or feedback?; No
  17. The Kingdom of Sweden. On the Rise. After prolonged period of international defeat and disgrace, Sweden's interior focus since the events of the great northern War has allowed for the economy to grow slowly under the leadership of King Frederick I. The parliament of Sweden, the Riksdag has set forth the agenda for Sweden at the turn of the century. Which was to be read at the Kings opening Statements for the year. The Swedish Government will in the interests of her people will strike forth new plans to make Sweden a renewed nation at the centre of European affairs. To build a strong Navy, and have uncontested control over the Baltic sea. To seek strong alliances to further Sweden's position to grow her economy and infrastructure. Increase Swedish presence through intercontinental trade, with partners in the East India Trading Company. At the speech the elderly king would stand and state. “This nation. Is one steeped in great history and culture. From the vikings of old, to the Imperial armies of the 17th century. But yet Sweden - remains strong, we shall rise and we shall be victorious.” International Affairs Sweden makes offers to the East India Trade Company to open trade in Stockholm to use for all Northern European trade. Which would bring investment and trade to the capital. Swedish Ambassadors are sent to Prussia and the Dutch Republic to discuss future dialogue and growing of relations Military Straight after the King's address in January of 1750. The King and Riksdag commissions shipbuilders throughout the major shipyards in Sweden; 5, 50 gun ship of the lines 5 Frigates New military strategies are put in place to attempt to modernise the aging tactics of the swedish military. A new musket is commissioned by the government to be tested in small numbers by several regiments of the army. Plans are made to attempt to create a flagship for the Swedish navy. The largest the world has ever seen. Internal Road improvements are planned to make access to Stockholm easier for the near towns and villages. “ All roads lead to Stockholm” Increased investment into the lumber and mining companies of Sweden this is to help in the increased investment into sailing. The University of Stockholm is founded on the 13th March 1750 this was to draw academic talent to the capital and create a rich enlightenment period in Sweden. Increased investment into the economy to boost it for competitive trade is planned to take place over a targeted 5 year plan. Heavy investment is put into the gunsmith and mining industries to sell swedish made weapons abroad.

  19. Britain Syria With the Romans marching into Syria, just after signing a treaty of joining the commonwealth of the British Empire, Britain makes good on her pledge to her new ally and stands stedfast by British tradition. Great Britain gives the Romans til the end of the month to remove her troops from foreign soil and if she fails to do so will risk open war with the British Empire and her allies. Attlee claims it to be “ A cruel and corrupt tactics of intimidation” The American Civil War Although Downing Street doesn’t claim a side in the civil war due to uneasy relations with the American government he does state this in front of a small press pool. “To all those in the United States who hear me now, dont go gentle into the dark, but strive and fight for the light, and a peaceful resolution!” While also commenting on how Democratic states now more than ever must listen to what the people ask of their leaders and who they elect win or lose. International Britain have been in secret talks with the portuguese over issues of future dealings with neighbouring nations. Attlee government would begin to reopen her embassies in Japan and HRD while avoiding the US for the mean time due to the violence ensuing the land. Attlee would denounce the apartheid regime in South Africa calling it a backward and pre enlightenment form of governance, an almost return to the bad old days of the slave classes. Britain would reach out to democratic bulgaria and Romania to enter into a trade deal and improve on their economies and helping strengthen british trade relations. Internal Plans are laid down to improve commercial produce and to reduce spending on military industry focusing on making Britain the centre of high quality produce A large new project is placed into Belfast Harland and Wolff with plans to build the largest cruise liner in the known world wanting to revitalise the Titanic era of ship building. A continued investment is put into the commercial airlines wanting to make Britain a must see destination for all tourists. By letting large numbers of their planes to foreign airports in return for pushing tourism on the British Isles.
  20. Britain The German Question, and the fate of Europe British officials write to ALL leaders of European nations to meet in a conference in London to discuss the way forward for European dealings with the militantist threat. Attlee claims it to be “The biggest question of the decade!” There is plans to discuss joint European efforts to deal with and counter any efforts to undermine the efforts of the west to prolong peace and end further escalation of rearmament and violence in foreign affairs. Dawn of a New Age Attlee would stand from his dispatch box as many prime ministers have done before him, but unlike the rest Attlee promises a ‘New Era’ for British Politics. “We must stand in the dark to find the light. By God we have found it!” claimed attlee to a reporter when asked about his new policy to colonialism. In the modern time. Attlees new policy was complete insanity with a hint of genius as some in his party claim when he unveiled plans of a period of slow integration of the colonies to join as equal partners rather than master and servant. This was claimed atop of Attlees new plan to invest heavily in the colonies to grow their economies rather than abusing them a policy followed similarly by Macmillan to a lesser degree. Home Affairs Attlee claims to the people at a speech in Cardiff to a workers Union “ A real living wage is on the rise!” plans to increase the minimum wage by 5% is implemented. Claiming “Honest work for honest pay!” Investment in a new jet powered aircraft is put forward to the military leaders and aviation experts of Britain to use they're rocketry science to build a new class of aircrafts to compete with U.S and Japanese classes. As Well as investment in workers investment in workplace is also hailed with plans to end unemployment in Britain by mid 1950’s by offering men jobs in industry building planes cars and other machinery to help the british economy continue to boom! Building over 200 new factories throughout the nation in key pockets of unemployment. Again Attlee puts forward a welfare state plan amended to better satisfy his party and his liberal allies. Foreign Affairs British government reaches out to the spanish royal family in hiding offering asylum in Britain as well as a marriage proposal to the heir apparent Princess Elizabeth Windsor British Ambassadors in the USA, Japan, Italy and Brazil would all be recalled back home in due haste at the discovery of signing a communist nation to their alliance calling it “ A total abandonment of principle and character. A power grab! Dealing with communists are one thing an alliance is another!” claims Attlee to the global press in an attempt to sway global opinion in his favour. Attlee would ask to hold a meeting with the Sobeski Pact as well as Mexico and Argentine governments respectively on a number of issues
  21. Britain Labour Wins The Day A Labour coalition government under the leadership of Atlee has formed with the liberals, On the promise of Peace, A restoration of dying relations and an end to the rise of militantism. With Atlee speaking to a local newspaper claiming that; “This government is new and dynamic, unafraid of hanging up her sword after a proud tenure as world police, if that is how global politics dictates. This is why I would like to formally lay out an apology to the American government for the failures of my predecessor for destroying friendly relations, with the hopes of restoring these relations in future months and years!” INTERNATIONAL Atlee would release a statement to militant leaders in Syria, to lay down their arms and come to the table to discuss the future of the nation! Atlee would stand from his dispatch box finally on the prime ministerial side of the chamber. Claiming in tune with the American and French governments, to a lesser degree. Claiming “When liberty is in jeopardy Britain will always do her duty, no matter the odds. For peace must be achieved through pen to paper not guns and bullets. A new trade deal is signed between Britain and Japan with the japanese buying british steel to make it more competitive to the germans. HOME AFFAIRS Atlee when first becoming PM made it his policy to have a welfare state established within the existence of this government! A chief priority with plans already being made to make the health service free on demand. A renewed investment put into british steel to continue to compete with the growing german competition Atlee would ask for a reduction in military spending to put towards his new welfare policies. To make Britain a country for all men, not just the rich. However investment is put into rockets and satellite technology to help with the European space program
  22. Britain The British Way With the rise of tensions within democracy itself MacMillan takes a step back, claiming that his unfettered approach to making the British Empire safe and secure had failed. With MacMillan standing at the dispatch box in the commons claiming that; “This house, since taking office 7 years ago has given me the great honour of leading our fine nation. However, I do believe in my capacity I have done everything I could to defend our island home from the threats of enemies, but I have ultimately failed. With Britain now in the centre of two potential superpowers that would wipe our isle from existence at the push of a button. However! Despite these failings I have left our economy in the best state its been in for 100 years! So I must bow out in that good old fashioned british way, with pride and a faultless grace.” MacMillan claims he will then step down at the next election. To make way for new leadership. With the hope the ‘European Dream’ lives on. The Empire Similar to French policy the British government do not want to neglect their colonies in Africa and abroad. Claiming there to be plans to make their colonies reach the industrial revolution within 10 years! “A revolution is coming, but not in death nor failed glory but through machines and work!” Military Advanced research is placed in upgrading al 3 branches of the military, to make them remain up to date with advancing technologies. Designs are made for a new assault rifle, to be used as the new default weapon of the military. The Royal navy moves to the mediterranean to help in French efforts, wanting to prevent the spanish build up of troops on the French border.
  23. Britain International Britain asks for a joint meeting of the commonwealth to discuss a joint foreign policy position on the evolving diplomatic relations with numerous nation states. The British government would demilitarise her colonies with the words of assurance from the U.S President stating “Despite the differences of the old world and new I’m glad borders can be secure for both our nations.” The British government offers universal european cooperation they therefore reach out to the Portuguese, Nordic nations and even the sobeski pact to join the Entente Home affairs MacMillan claims before the house that an impromptu election is not necessary it would cause unnecessary turbulence in this critical time, with the labour party out to seek power rather than govern!!” British industry is pushed towards improving work environment and increasing work conditions for all workers to increase productivity Plans are made to increase the budget for the health service to increase life expectancy Plans are laid down with this new rocketry technology the Prime Minister meets with experts to see the possibility of Britain entering the space race, or if its unaffordable A 5 year conscription law is passed in Britain for all 17-30 year olds. To be trained a s reserves.

  25. Britain International Britain offers the countries of Europe to enter into an Economic Union of states, to ensure European co-operation and economic prosperity. Britain also reaches out to the Commonwealth nations to discuss a comprehensive trade deal that would show great investment and increase of business for the others. Britain Announces a CEASEFIRE with the USSR in Bulgaria at the steps of Westminster, claiming that an Accord had been reached between the two powers over the Bulgarian crisis. With British troops expected to withdraw within 6 months.
