Ioraqus at War (OOC/Region RP)

[SECP]

This war, and I use the term war loosely, is....'Different', compared to the wars you would hear about when you we're a child. It seems everyone whats to kill each other, but no one knows why. Now a days blood flows as much as any river, and no one seems to care. This 'war', this 'Great Atrocity', this 'New life' has consumed everyone in Ioraqus. They say this will be the last of it's kind! The war that will end all wars!....Well we are definitely paying for it in blood.

territorial disputes, political differences etc.
they should be the reason for the war

[Augusticinia]

Some basic info about Augusticinia around the time of First Ioraqus War

Colonies: Augusticinia at the time had a colony on the continent SE of Augusticinia, The continent South of Delearum, and possibly a small colony on the Southernmost Continent

Capital: Munich

Government: Federal Republic

Emperor: Thomas Reeves

Population: 64 Million (Excluding Colonies)

Armed Forces: After the decline of the Augusticinian Military in the 1860's it has slowly been rebuilt. The Army mainly consists of Infantry stationed in Augusticinia's colonies and the Eastern Mountains of Augusticinia. The Augusticinian army also consists of Cavalry, Artillery, and a few tanks (which will be used later in the war). The Augusticinian Navy is the most powerful force of Augusticinia's Military. Augusticinia's Navy mainly consists of Gunboats and Frigates but also Minesweepers, Submarines, and Destroyers. The Augusticinian Air Force consists of 2 Bombers and 3 Fighter Aircraft for escorting. The Augusticinian Marines are a part of the Navy.
Important Figures of the Augusticinian Armed Forces: Senior Captain Donovan Lund (Augusticinian Land Forces on the Western Peninsula) | Colonel of Artillery Leonide Forestier (Augusticinian Land Forces in the North) | Grand Marshall Edgar Blumstein (Augusticinian Land Forces in the East) | Field Marshal Ernst Kikkert (Augusticinian Land Forces in the South) | Supreme Commandant of Colonial Land Forces Nikodemos Plesko (Augusticinian Land Forces in the Colonies) | Admiral Theodore Boer (Colonial Naval Fleets) | Naval Officer Wolfgang Hummel (Augusticinian Home Water Fleets) | Captain Wilhelm Celeen (Augusticinian Foreign Water Fleets) | Colonel Kazimir Toseli (Augusticinian Air Force) | Captain Michael Pfenning (Augusticinian Marine Forces)

[Novaya Equestria]

Please change that typo in the title. I only see OCC instead of OOC.

[Sangaku]

Sangaku around this time period was quite different to it's modern counterpart.
The more significant changes are:

Population: 51 million

Prime Minister: Soichiro Takada
Emperor: Hayato Mamamoto

Armed Forces: As technology developed Sangaku was able to scale back it's armed forces but still retain effectiveness, as such Sangaku's military will be larger in this time period. 210,000 personnel, 140 warships (Mostly cruisers and battleships), 320 aircraft (early biplanes)

Politics and foreign affairs: During this time period Sangaku had a more militant approach to foreign affairs and was seeking expansion. They would have been looking to take over any land they thought they could get away with without international backlash

[Kautharr]

Please change that typo in the title. I only see OCC instead of OOC.

OCC and OOC are synonymous, some people use OOC some use OCC

[Newmist Union]

Capital: "City nr 1"

Government: Democratic Republic

Prime Speaker: Toentt Rovalia

Population: 82 Million

Politics: Collectivists, internationalists, highly leftist.

Armed Forces: Mainly consistent of hordes of conscripts, with armor support and plenty of artillery. Their ground forces, is what the Union Military prides itself with. Their air-force, mostly currently consists of transport zeppelins, made to transport ground forces long distances over friendly territory. Their navy, consists of large cruisers, patrolling the cost line, defending the harbor cities, and the union's trade and fishing routes.

[Zeelerfeld]

So around the time of the war Zeelerfeld declared independence from Augusticinia (Zeelerfeld Independence War 1902 - 1914).

So maybe we should all agree on a specific year.

[Augusticinia]

So around the time of the war Zeelerfeld declared independence from Augusticinia (Zeelerfeld Independence War 1902 - 1914).

So maybe we should all agree on a specific year.

I think it would be interesting if the Zeelerfeld Independence war was at a stalemate right before the 1st Ioraqus War then once WW1 started Augusticinia withdrew its efforts in Zeelerfeld to fight in the war. Or the Zeelerfeld front could be part of the 1st Ioraqus War.

[Kautharr]

Like I said in the RMB, part of this war could be the Kauthan conquest of a group of islands south of Kauthar belonging to Augusticinia.

[Zeelerfeld]

Yep as Zeelerfeld's armies would only be maybe colonial troop or militia. We could also have a plant creating (early) planes.

[Augusticinia]

Political Situation of Augusticinia: Centrist, Pro-Democracy and Liberty, Pro-Industrialization, Pro-Trade

Possible Augusticinian Relations before the War: (None of this is official)

Kauthar: Conflicts in the Kotona Islands (The Small Islands South of Kauthar) and arguments over Trading Routes have increased. Augusticinian Companies have moved into the Kotona Islands, excavating their resources against the will of the Natives and Kauthar. Also Augusticinia has began to close the ports to the ships of Kauthar increasing tensions between the two nations.
Possible Relation during War: Enemy

Sangaku: N/A (Possible Enemy due to conquests, but Possible ally due to trade relations)

Newmist Union: N/A (Possible Enemy due to ideology, Possible ally due to trade relations)

Zeelerfeld: Before the War starts the Zeelerfeld Independence War will be ongoing. But after a peace treaty is signed relations will soon begin to get better as the war progresses.
Possible Relation during War: Neutral or Enemy -> Neutral

Cadiak: N/A

SECP: N/A

Kresova: N/A

Dealarum: N/A

[SECP]

I'm planning for SECP to be modeled after America per WW2.
SECP used to be one of the worlds largest good manufactures in Ioraqus. But sadly we have recently entered into an economic slump, due to recent inflation of the nation's currency along with other mixtures of bad up-comings. When this happens almost all of SECP's factory's are closed and thousands are out of a job. I'm planing for when the war kicks off nations will need weapons of war and thanks to SECP's large (and empty) manufacturing capability, people may look towards us to help give them that extra "push" for victory.

Sounds like a good plan right?

Sounds like a great scenario! BTW will you be neutral then?

Neutral, until I get forced in

[Kautharr]

I think we should begin a draft IC first. We need a main front, preferably on the big continent Augusticinia is on, 2 alliances (one nationalist/monarchist/imperialist and one for democratic nations).

So here is a summary of all the conflicts.

The Main Front - Location: ???
Augusticinian-Kauthan Naval War
Zeelerfeld Independence War (Dies down as Zeelerfeld becomes independent)

And more to be added.

Also for the Kauthan-Augusticinian Naval War I'll need someone to help me in that since Kauthar didn't have an army like it does today back then.

[SECP]

So are we going to use traditional weapons? Like in real life OR are we going to be "different"....
Like steampunk and Mechs?

[Newmist Union]

I honestly think we should not stray "too far" from actual tech. But if there can be made a proper chase for it, I would not see much of an issue with inventing new stuff. As long as it is in the same area of technology, as well as how effective it is as a tool of war as its real life counter part.
For example a "diesel powered walker" being as useful as a light weight tank.

[Sangaku]

Sangaku could possibly launch skirmishes of the Eastern peninsula of vouterlund as a land grab. It probably wouldn't be the most intense offensive, since Sangaku would be worried about other nations getting involved.

[Newmist Union]

Newmist would probably focus on land expansion... Probably concour lands to the south and west, and establish trade routes to the west to gain access to possible trade routes to potential partners in the east (you know... round earth and all)... And in terms of wars... that really depends on how much our red neighbors acts, and how radical the next prime speakers elected will be.

[SECP]

Wait!
What year did we agree on?
Is this going to be around the RL WW1 time period or are moving it around a few years?
....The answer may change may nation and the way I act during this RP.

[Kautharr]

....The answer may change may nation and the way I act during this RP.

I'd say 1913 or early 1914, since that's around the time Zeelerfeld gained independence and he said something about tensions between Zeelerfeld rebels and Augusticinia dying down due to the war.

Ha
In that case I'm not SECP.... I'm still the Romunee Empire and in this time period I'm at the peak of my final (and largest) industrial revolution.
In this case, not only can I be a mass supplier of weapons I can also be a warmonger

[Kautharr]

I believe we should start an IC soon, we can do a build-up of sorts to the war, and then have a root cause to the conflict.
If we start in 1912 we can have the Zeelerfeld Independence War.

[Newmist Union]

I think it would also be easy to get our two nations at odds with one another. Because the Newmist Union will focus heavily on expansion. And if your nation is in the way, it will be likely political debates will happen, where more radical political figures would be for trying to invade your lands, to take your resources, and in the Newmistian view, "liberate your people".
