Wars of Man:1914:The War To End All Wars (OOC, OPEN)

[Spironia]

The year is 1914. Empires expand and decrease. German-Anglo relations go hot as the two nations challenge the other with its industrial and military might. Minorities in the Austro-Hungarian empire demands independence. Japan had grown into a superpower while Russia is humiliated and is a laughingstock of Europe. France demands the return of its lost provinces, and Germany refuses. The powder keg is about to blow up into one of the most destructive wars of European history; question is, when?

Form of Government: Socialist Presidential Federal Republic
Ideology: Classical Marxism
Head of State: Upton Sinclair
Head of Government: Upton Sinclair
History: Economic problems following the civil war erupted after armed rebellion by the lower classes, the rebellion ending 1 year later, with the army officially putting them down. But this rebellion caused the Republican Party, Southern Democrat, Populist and many other small political entities join together in favor of the Working class, forming the American Peoples Party, a Socialist group dedicated to improving the Working classes situation. These reforms came fast, The Factory Funds bill reopening nearly 1,000 closing factories and jump starting them, the Minimum Wage bill, which began paying the Workers $4.00 an hour, as well as increasing safety to levels revered throughout the world. These reforms made the US rise up to an unmatched economic power. Four 5 year plans were passed, increasing American manufacturing and moving the US into a mainly industrial nation, with the Government controlling all commercial farming, 40% of Manufacturing and the resources with which to produce. Under these reforms the economy thrived, and with it, the Military did as well, budgets passed raised the standing army to 250,000, the Air Corps was created and the Naval bill, ordering the creation of several fleets to protect American shipping, we're passed.

Head of State: Emperor Jaques-Napoleon IV
Head of Government: Crown-Prince Louis-Napoleon V
History: The French Republic witnessed harsh times in 1890, as they were preparing to boost industry to expand the army to conquer the rest of Africa. With this, Emperor Jaques-Napoleon IV formed a resistance of 4,000,000 men, which would later be known as "Première Armée rouge de Napoléon", as these soldiers wore red and were brutal. In 1894, they formed the biggest party in France, known as "Napoleon's Monarchy of France", which gained 10 Million members, 6 Million of which being in the African colonies, and went against "The French Republican Party", which had 7 Million members, and "The Communist-Extremist Party of Marx" which had 4 Million members. As Napoleon's party grew, so did the Empire. With many members young, with some old, he was quite unique from other members, as he was 21 when he gained this popularity. Anyways, in 1890, the Première Armée rouge de Napoléon invaded the ottoman Empire, taking Syria, Lebanon, and Israel. When the army came back, they took the government, jailed them, and took power. Jaques had a kid the following year, Crown Prince Louis-Napoleon V who soon became the head of "Sénat du peuple français , colonies , les territoires, et l'Empire lui-même" which was the Senate of Jaques. In 1910, with a population of 70,500,290, the royal family became a draft known as "Le projet de la Somme de la famille royale Napoléon", which was to produce a army of 1 Million on continent it had its reach on. The African colony sent a army of "French Legionaries", and it was a force of 500,000 (200,000 armed with modern equipment, 300,000 armed with Muskets and breechloaders). After the French Legionaries arrived, it joined the French Red Army, and invaded Spain, Switzerland, and Belgium. The Force was of 2,000,000, and it was known as "Napoléon conquête du nouvel empire français". It began in November 14, the birth of Louis, and ended August 23, 1913. The army was destroyed, and was merely a force of 400,000 men. The Population of the new Empire now, after the 1914 census, was 87,500,300.

Head of Government:King Agata Erland
History: when the new world was discovered in 1492, the kingdom of Sweden decided to join in on the fun and was one of the first countries to begin the colonization of South America. Suriname was annexed into the kingdom in 1497. It then decided on going more central, and annexed Trinidad and Belize in 1503. While it was sailing by the east coast, which was vast and quickly being colonized by the British empire, it ran into what is known as Greenland. It was quick to seize the massive landmass and was successful in annexing it by 1509. After that, it managed to purchase New Brunswick and Newfoundland from Britain. This gave the Kingdom of Sweden almost complete and unmatched domination of the northwest passage. Then in 1512 the King (King Leonard) passed, but not before declaring the halt of Swedish expansion in the new world. This didn't stop the next King (King Alfonso) from expanding its empire elsewhere. His first target was Norway and Denmark. Both were defeated and annexed by 1523. In 1537 he sent an expedition to Asia and landed in what is today known as Sri Lanka. The expedition hurried back, and he was able to colonize the island before the British. From there he sent a larger expedition to what is now Brunei and annexed it in 1539. Then in 1543 it purchased Hong Kong from Britain to be able to trade easier with china during the opium wars. On the eve of December 25th, 1556 the King was assassinated. The killer was never found, however it was speculated it was his brother who there shortly after seized power. He proclaimed himself Emperor and renamed the kingdom to the empire of Scandinavia. From 1556-1573 the self proclaimed emperor Kiro (the bro) and the self proclaimed King John XIV battled for control with emperor domination. In 1573 King John XIV was successfully executed for treason. Emperor Kiro quickly expanded into Oceania and colonized New Zealand in 1576. The empire of Scandinavia sat dormant for 25 years until in 1601 it began colonizing the Middle East. Yemen was its first when it was annexed in 1603. Then in 1605 Finland and the empire went to war over a little border dispute. However, the then King Carl III didn't just stop at the broader dispute, he annexed the whole of Finland in 1612. Then the empire lie silent for another 38 years. The empire then began colonization of Africa in 1650 and the first African colony was Liberia, now a part of Swedish northwest Africa. In 1657 Benin and Sierra Leone were annexed into the empire. When the other European powers began invading the Congos, Scandinavia was quick to seize Gabon. The nation then went under political turmoil until 1709 when the Nordic Empire was proclaimed by King John VIII. The NE was able to hold the lands ever since. In 1773 Estonia applied to be a part of the empire in exchange for autonomy. The empire was quick to accept. This have the empire a very powerful dominance in the Baltic Sea. When the American war for independence broke out, the empire supported the Americans and fought several battle with Britain. The empire, unfortunately, lost Iceland and Denmark in the process to Britain. However in 1807 Britain sold the lands back in exchange for a 20 year peace treaty. However, the peace continued and still continues to this day between the British and the Nordics.
