On the Brink of War (OOC/AH/Dieselpunk/Open)

[Garwall]

Hows my Italy app looking? Need to flesh out the history a bit, and some other details. Lemme know if I'm going too overboard with my tech level with my military equipment. I was hoping to go for a more conventional approach to dieselpunk, using large tank-based armies rather than mechs and such.

[Sanabel]

My dieselpunk is similar.

Mostly tanks in the north, but mostly motorized cavalry in the south because the desert makes anything else difficult.

Looks good, cept Eritrea and Somalia are part of Ethiopia due to a bigger defeat in the Italo-Ethiopian War.

Bonjour, Maghreb

Salaam, France.

You'd best not try and reinvade. Especially if I join the central powers.

[Lyannesia]

Bonjour, Maghreb

Salaam, France.

We want to trade stuff with you, what do you say?


Provided I am accepted, of course.

[Sanabel]

Provided I am accepted, of course.

Sure.

But we don't trust you yet, not quite.

I'm losing all East Africa? That's tough to swallow. I'm also assuming the Dodecanese are not Italian, based on no Italy-Ottoman conflict. Hmm. I suppose the French territories are recompense however. What's the status on Austria? I'm not sure they would survive the post-war fully intact from nationalist tension (especially if they absorbed even more slavs from the war)

We still lay claim on the Joint Protectorate of Morocco. But we can find a settlement to appease everyone.

They either made a ton of reforms and somehow kept the Empire together, or the more likely case is that they just collapsed on itself and a bloody civil war ensued - I didn't mention really what happened to A-H, and I left most of the post-war history in the OP intentionally vague because I didn't want to limit the possibilities.

I would like to, but some dude reserved and made an app for Occitania before you; I didn't accept it yet, but I think an Occitania would make France too weak and I would like them to stand a chance against the Central Powers, so I'll probably have to decline the Occitan player Should've pointed it out before he made his app...so, accepted, post in the archive please

I am always open to having annoying minorities fighting guerilla wars. I think, if he/she wants, he/she could apply for a revel organization.

I agree, keep France united for balance's sake, and spread out the player apps so we can fill in Europe a little more.

Buuuut

I can't remember if OP said I own it or not now. I know we agreed I own Spanish morocco, and that they held a referendum in Morocco with overwhelming support of joining Maghreb.

I thought you owned this. Since Spanish Morocco is just a strip of land with Tangiers as capital, but I won't complain if I keep French Morocco

Yeah, I know.

I thought I owned both that and French Morocco, as you thought. I thought I did. I can clarify in my history if need be.

You can keep both Morroco's, but France will keep laying a claim to the Protectorate. You could say you simply seized it in the turmoil in France.

Sounds good.

Will change that when I return.

[Garwall]

In response to Austria Hungary's situation, if we do not get an applicant soon I think I'll expand my control to an occupation of Fiume and its surrounding territory and Dalmatia. It would only make sense that Italy, facing only limited resistance from the French in this timeline as Germany crushed the majority of their armed forces, would want to seize those territories they held irridentist claims on in A-H assuming an Austrian collapse.

EDIT: I also see we lack a map. I can work on one if you haven't begun yet, and add in some of the major nations if you can provide a list of states and their territories.

Culture:

https://www.h-net.org/reviews/showrev.php?id=11787

Religion: Free Worship, but mainly protestant with the Church and State heavily separated.
Army: Deislpunk, highly advanced. Here are uniforms.
-1,500,000 Active
-4,000,000 Reserve
-The German Army has the most advanced Deislpunk technology in the world. With the most advanced armored mechs, the Walker, and even advanced systems like the Hoversuit and the infamous Walking Cannons.
Navy:
-Deislpunk
-7 Aircraft Carriers (2 in construction)
-136 U-Boats
-Ya know, other ships too
Air Force: Highly advanced Air Force, the most powerful in the world. The German Luftwaffe has the largest, most powerful air fleet in the world, twice as powerful as Britain. German Planes are the most advanced and powerful in the world
Economic Strength: Extremely wealthy, from the victory during the Great War and it's aftermath. The German Economy relies heavily on it's ability to manufacture and transport goods, and the most powerful businesses are mainly arms manufacturing, that are closely monitored by the state. Germany's vast allies and extreme economic capabilities give Germany the most powerful economy on Earth
Infrastructure: Very good and up to date. Do to the advancement of Deisl technology, many people travel by air in giant blimps or air buses, but the German Rail System is still vital to it's economy. Advanced cars are used on the streets, but any long-distance travel is done by the air, making German infrastructure highly successful.
Scientific Research and Development: Very well-funded scientific team, nearing completion of Jet Engines and is a good ways along in the Nuclear Program,which has already mastered atomic fission, which has greatly helped the advancement of Deislpunk Technology. "Deisltech" as the Germans call it, is always being advanced, therefor it is the most up to date in the world.
Primary Goals: Ensure the sovereignty of the German Empire and her people; destroy anyone who threatens Germany
History: It's all in the OP
RP Example: Pfft man
1337 - Do not remove it. This is so me and other Co-Op(s) are able to find your apps easily.

Add the client states I mentioned over TG and lower your U-boats to maybe around 100 (at the very most, 900 is too OP) and you're accepted Once those changes are done, please post in the Archive.
