[Kherkov]

Moralia still seems to think he can control Hal's men. Good thing we didn't give him France.

damn that mind control device could go on the market for millions.

[Moriala]

I just edited those posts. So why did you just start talking about it?

[Carbarosia]

Debating African expansion... hm.

[Kaamnaayein]

Hey Kaamnaayein, I assume that since I changed my land claims to reflect your wishes that you can pay me back by not attacking any of my former claims?

Of course.

[Glasgia]

The Dubroja Khanate as mentioned in my message. I understand Dubroja is further north, but as this is Alt-History I thought the Dubroja Tatars could've migrated further south and mixed with the Bulgars (Volga Tatars), before creating a small Khanate. Really all just made up to give me a claim on the provinces which I'll take as trading ports.

To all Europeans, and some non-Europeans if they feel like it, please reply to my treaty proposal. Prussia, that goes for you too with the alliance offer.

I need to do some diplomatic work but how does your nation feel about the Greater French Empire?

We are neutral on the conflict between the monarchy and republic, see both as potential allies. We ourselves being a monarchy, many of the nobles are inclined to support your side, but the Khaganate is traditionally quite liberal and upholds many of the ideas that the revolution was based upon.

((That's my IC answer. My nation doesn't seem to have been involved much with yours, so I'll try and trade with as many as possible.))

[Halleon]

Are you just wanting trade or both trade and a alliance? To be honest not really sure what this French Revolution is based on since the same events didn't lead up to it like the actual French Revolution in History. Still a Absolute Monarchy but reforms have been made kinda need to go into detail about those reforms.

Well, just hoping for another signature to the treaty for the moment. Maybe we can discuss further later.

[Halleon]

I might agree to that treaty seems like a good ideal and trade is always a good thing.

Mind if I reserve Transdanubia (Austria-Hungary)?

[Glasgia]

I think there are plans to divide the rest of the Balkans between a few nations, but if you get in quick and make alliances to protect yourself then you should be fine.

[Britcan]

Mind if I reserve Transdanubia (Austria-Hungary)?

Some of it has already been taken but you are welcome to the rest of it.

Nation Name: United Kingdom of Transdanubia
[b]National Flag:

Claims: What's left of the Balkans, Hungary, Austria and Slovakia.
[b]Form of Government: Absolute Monarchy
Head of State: King Cézár I Hunyadi
Capital City: Budapest
Population: 5,000,000
Military Size: 250,000
Military Type: Thanks to the Hunyadi Dynasty the United Kingdom of Transdanubia was able to maintain a modern, professional army based on the innovations of King Matthias I, Black Army in the 15th century. And hence is well equipped and maintained to defend the realm.
Naval Strength: Weak, due to the loss of the Kingdoms Adriatic holdings it now relies on its Bulgarian ports and thus its military presence at sea is near nonexistent.
Economic Strength: Fortunately the realm rests along key trading routes in the Balkans. To add the realm enjoys many resources from mines in Slovakia, livestock on the Hungarian steppe, timber in Serbia and the vast industrial facilities of Vienna and Budapest to add.
Land Routes: While the interior of the country (Austria-Hungary) are well linked sadly due to the erratic structure if the realms borders the outer reaches are far less well maintained though thanks to the Danube manage to make up for this.
Sea Routes: Sadly the loss of our Croatian holdings cost the realm greatly though it does enjoy sea trade via its ports in Bulgaria and the Danube river to add.
Primary Goals: Expand Transdanubian borders, create a series if alliances to protect her frontiers, deal with the issue of sea trade [/b]
History: Once known as the Kingdom of Hungary, the United Kingdom of Transdanubia came into existence with the survival of the Hunyadi Dynasty through the birth and survival of Matthias I Hunyadi's only legitimate son, Marcus I Hunyadi. Inheriting his fathers vast empire at the tender age of 17 the young Prince however faced many rivals, the Havsburgs, the Italians and most importantly the Turks. And because of this his reign from 14 90-1531 was troubled by foreign invasions and political intrigues within his own country. nonethless he managed to for the most part to hold the realm together and ultimately on his death in 1531 transfer the crown to his son Stefan V.

Stefan like his father inherited the throne young and faced many foes eager to destroy the realm. Though an amiable man he nonetheless relied on his bastard brother Andrew to handle the realm while he acted as a mere figurehead. And because of this his court became further troubled as shown by the Bathory and Nadasy Rebellions of 1537 and 1540 respectively. These rebellions came to fruition do to Andrews demands for heightened taxes on the nobility and the need for further troops to help the Spartans hold back the Turks in Bulgaria. Which were taken from the nobles and thus cost them huge fortunes. Ultimately though it was only due to the skill of Andrew that the realm was restored to peace.

Nonetheless these rebellions significantly weakened the realm and at the twilight of Stefan's reign granted the Italians and Turks their opportunity. In a rapid invasion they conquered huge swaths of Hungarian territory. And desperate to protect the realm Andrew signed a peace treaty with the Italians leaving the Adriatic provinces to them while he took his army east to force back the Turks with the Spartans. A move which gained the Hungarians territory in Bulgaria, Serbia and so on. However it nonetheless also created a rival, Sparta.

The Spartans to had carved themselves out massive territories in the north. And thus caused concern in the Hungarian court. But these concerns where not addressed as King Stefan V was dead and the realm plunged into a hundred and thirteen years of chaos. This was caused by the ascension of King Janos II who died of the plague leaving no heir but his sister Maria. Which in turn caused great distress in the capital as Maria refused to carry on the dynasty by marrying her cousin by Andrew, Károly. And because of this Andrew determined to protect his families hold on the throne won a papal bull legitimizing him and granting him a claim to the throne something which Maria and her supporters, the Nadasy's, Bathory's and Zápolya's refused to acknowledge and thus seized and executed Andrew under false crimes in 1549.

In turn this spawned the War of the Ravens or the Hundred Thirteen Years War between the rival factions of the Hunyadi Dynasty, Maria and her heirs by her husband, John III Zápolya and Andrew's heirs. The war would draw in numerous players and ultimately left Hungary in shambles as Kings and Queens rose and fell at will. Ultimately though in 1662 the Andrewites (Andrews heirs) prevailed and installed King Károly II as King of a near broken realm.

Often referred to as Károly the Saviour, he worked without end throughout his reign to restore the realm to shape and ultimately reformed Hungary's rump state of a kingdom into the United Kingdom of Transdanubia with the Act of Union. And ever since the Hunyadi's have rebuilt the realm. And now under the young and intelligent King Cézár I it appears the realm again is once more in momentum.

I already accepted it... it's my second-to-last post on Page 1 of the IC thread.

[The Blazing Aura]

How long do people reckon it would take to conquer one of the NPC kingdoms? I just want to sort this out so we don't conquer the same sized areas with different time scales.

Can we make that completely non-existant? I'm going to RP taking those Bulgarian ports tomorrow and have announced plans to ICly.

[Carbarosia]

I might agree to that treaty seems like a good ideal and trade is always a good thing.

On page one I made a message to everyone about a trade pact if you don't mind viewing it.

Hmmm I suppose. Though I could sell you those territories in the IC....

Yeah I will take a look sorry I haven't already answered it.
