Those glorious days (AWRP) OOC, Semi-Closed

[Ruridova]

Aaand I've invited France to the Reykjavik Conference, meaning it might be one of my allies(something that Lithuania's player is also considering), meaning that if you try to fuck the French over, you have to deal with all of us...

You could just as easily invite Belgium. Technically, if we're both allies, he can't attack me.

I also mentioned in IC that you're "under consideration"; we're thinking about it due to that whole "Leopold II and Congo Free State" thing.

I was actually just asking if he was going to be her lover. But, if that's still a 'no', I suppose old King Albert of Belgium can step in to 'fill the role', so to speak.

Sounds awesome. The Princess has no husband and her father was breathing down her neck for one...

BELGIAN-JAPANESE ROYAL MARRIAAAAAAAAAGE?

That would also result in an alliance between Scandinavia and Belgium via Japan.

Oh man, if war breaks out we'll have Germany-Austria-Serbia-Byzantium-Poland-Confederacy versus Britain-Belgium-America-France-Japan-Scandinavia-Russia with China and South America neutral....


SCANDINAVIA SUPPORTS A BELGIAN-JAPANESE ROYAL MARRAIGE.

Then get involved in something.

Im just about ready to embargo you, considering all the anti totalitarianist slander and talks of an anti totalitarianism alliance, but you haven't pushed me that far yet. When you do, that'll get something started.

Prepare to embargo a large amount of the world as well, then.

That would be hilarious.

Yeah, and we can justify it if Belgium shows up at the Reykjavik Conference.

Belgium is invited.

[The Huskar Social Union]

Wait, what exactly is going on, im confused here.

[The Nuclear Fist]

Belgium is invited.

Can I have a link?

[Ruridova]

Wait, what exactly is going on, im confused here.

Belgium, France, Russia, America, and Lithuania are invited to Reykjavik in addition to Japan and Britain, which have already accepted, and Scandinavia, which is hosting;
Belgium and Japan may have a royal marraige.
Austria wants to lead an embargo against Scandinavia.

Belgium is invited.

Can I have a link?

Haven't started a seperate thread for the Conference yet, I'm waiting for Uni and Prib's talks to finish, as well as possibly the talks between President Andrejsonn of Scandinavia and American President Roosevelt and between Andrejsonn and the Lithuanian royals coming to Kobenhavn.

I said if you keep going on about the anti totalitarianism thing and show sufficent hostility to the Kaiserreich then there's a good possibly of an embargo.

We'll keep up the anti-totalitarianism; we'll prepare for possible retribution for it, as well.

I want you to keep in mind that the Congo Free State and the Guatemalan Free State are both lorded over by totalitarian Lord-Governors who still unofficially practice slavery.

You're an ally. The government will conveniently ignore you, and refuse to pay attention to those who tell us to pay attention to you.

Austria has slavery aswell, but it's dying in the face of industrial might and human rights. So we freed most of them and kept only 100,000 for dangerous back breaking labor.

Yes, but since we're not allies or even on vaguely freindly relations and Belgium is, we'll care about yours and not his.

[Ruridova]

Scandinavia doesn't have slavery anymore.

Britain will be upset over the slaves, regardless of who is using them, but im setting up a war in Egypt to keep me occupied for a while so meh, austria can do what it wants, unless it pisses off an ally then embargo.

[The Nuclear Fist]

Perfect. I plan on having the Congo Free State rise in a very small rebellion, kill the Lord-Governor, and declare independence. It will then try to bring the crimes of the Belgian Congo to light, and plead for international help.

And then the Belgians will bring down the full might, via a massacre of the newly formed Congo parliament and brutal repression of the colony.

Scandinavia is a liberal democracy, but it can be pretty cynical and nasty sometimes.

We'll just casually mention trade relations with Belgium which will include their colonies and offhandly state their dependence on slaves and their alliance with Scandinavia.

[Unicario]

Japan practices unofficial slavery in some parts of Manchukuo and Korea. The factories near major cities are modern, but the further you go into the uncivilized areas of Manchukuo or Korea, the worse the labour laws get.

Ahhhh, Japan I am disappoint.

And Andrejsonn and Ros will ignore you.

They'll ignore that too, unless Manchuko or Korea try to gain independence and pleade for international help, for the reason shown below.

Problem is that then Scandinavia will have to pay attention and if they don't do anything then chances are widespread riots will erupt, resulting in a Scandinavian Spring, so to speak.

The Congo Free State is lorded over by a Lord-Governor, who is always a white Belgian. Factories are run by wealthy locals, and manned by people who work for almost nothing. Mines are the same, except manned by slaves. All resources gathered are manned by slaves. Guatemala is primarily agricultural, so it is lorded over by a white Belgian Lord-Governor, with fields, plantations, and the few coal mines manned by slaves. It also has a bit of crude oil, although I am not sure if that should be discovered yet.

Commenting on the irony. Japan only practices such brutal industrial policies because otherwise, they wouldn't produce enough to stay sufficient. Japan isn't exactly a sprawling resource-field. We're cut short on tons of stuff like for example, Oil, Rubber, Coal, etcetera.

Lucky for you, because I picked the countries that have no resources. The only way for me to get anything is if I send gunboats to India and take over a resource-rich colonial area (THERE'S TONS TO TAKE...)

[Ruridova]

So, yeah, @Uni and tNF: If there are any revolutionaries in your territory who get widespread international notice and plead for international help, because if I don't then I'll have the Scandinavian Spring.

We'll be happy to set up a coal deal with you. We produce a good chunk of the black stuff.

I don't plan for the rebellions to spread. the Manchurians are happy to be under Japan's yolk compare to the Han government, and the Koreans are being/will be surpressed by Tojo's elite police guards (Japan's WW1-era SS/Gestapo.)

If I can avoid a war for a little while, I plan on having Belgium take a very small bit of India as a colony. Oh, and this political marriage will allow for more resource trading between our two nations.
