[The Grand Republic of Hannover]

Does anyone know when Allen will go online?

[The Nation of Hay]

Does anyone know when Allen will go online?

I know he's in Australia (Melbourne, I think), but I don't know about his schedule.

[Alleniana]

I don't think you realize how many colonial militia I mean.

Indonesia. Ceylon. Southern Africa.

Many. And I even have reasons for them to be fighting. Just you wait.

Also, Krijgershel. AKA Commandos.

And Air force for recon.



War. Get ready to rally to the defence of Nieuw Nederland.

Shit, already? Against who? I haven't been keeping up with the IC so well lately.

Also, is there anyone/anything that needs an Australiën response?

Did you see the cyclone on pg 3?

Nation Name: Udin Caliphate
Symbols: Crescent and Star
Population: 40 million
Location/Claims: The territory in central Africa between the Iberian Republic, Scandinavian Empire, and the Dutch Republic (Terribly sorry I didn't do a map, my computer isn't cooperating with me).
Capital City: Kinshasa
Government Type: Caliphate
Ideology: Fundamentalism
Leader/s: Caliph Ibrahim ibn Omar al-Salah Udin
Economy: Main exports are rubber, textiles, pelts, lumber and jewels. Main imports are metals, manufactured goods and armaments. There is free trade with nations controlled by dhimmis (People of the Book/Jews, Christians and Muslims), while tariffs are placed on non-dhimmi nations.
Infrastructure: Due to several short-sighted policies of the previous ruler, roads are dangerous and in disrepair, however, Caliph Ibrahim is busy restoring them. There are few railways, though a single large one runs north to south, splitting the nation in two.
Army: Standing army of 200,000 (.05%), however, in times of war, an army as large as 1,200,000 (3%) can be risen. The army is divided into two different sectors: Mujahideen, the religious element and the regular, secular army.
Navy: The Caliphate is landlocked and possesses no navy.
Goals: Teaching the word and message of the Prophet Mohammad to the peoples around us, by word or sword.
Technology: The Caliphate is slightly behind most European countries due to isolationist policies of Caliph Omar. Caliph Ibrahim has opened up more to the world.
History: Centuries in the past, missionaries from the Ummayad Caliphate traveled south to the Congo preaching the message of Islam to the peoples. Most of their audience converted. When the Belgians came, a great war was fought and in the end, the Belgians were no match for the fanatical Mujahideen defending their home. The leader of the Mujahideen, a man named Mehmed ibn Masoud al-Haqqani was named Caliph of the Congo by the elders of the tribes. The Haqqani dynasty began in the Congo. Due to the value of rubber, the economy blossomed and as the Caliphate grew, as did the egos of the Haqqanis. The Caliphate grew more authoritarian as the years went on. Eventually, a man by the name of Hamud ibn Kalari al-Udin spoke out against the Haqqanis and began travelling the country, raising the commonfolk into a professional army. The Great Jungle War commenced as Udin's army fought against the Haqqanis' Mujahideen. Ultimately, the Haqqanis were defeated and the survivors of their family fled north, away from the Congo and history. The Udin Dynasty took the helm of the Caliphate. Their reign was a peaceful one, until Omar ibn Salah al-Udin came to power. He neglected the nation and allowed the Caliphate to fall to ruin. He was poisoned by an adviser at a meal and his son Ibrahim came to power in 1900. Thus begins this RP.

No map is no prob; the space you claim is ridiculously well defined

App's fine, except for pop; for example, France (me) has only about 40 mil in their homeland, and it's been defined as some of their most fertile and hospitable land in Europe, so lowering of that might be in order. Apart from that, good.

Hmm Okay. It's called something different, though.

New York - Nieuw Amsterdam
Albany - Nieuw Utrecht
New Haven - Nieuw Antwerp
Allentown - Willemstad
Erie Canal - Stadtholder Kanaal
Pittsfield - Oranjestad

Probably will be more coming.



Sure, but 'tis fine.

They don't realize what they've gotten themselves into.

Australie and Siam will be aiding me, for sure, and I'm sure the French would love to reclaim the rest of Quebec. And Iberia must really want Cuba , Puerto Rico and Florida back.

The Old World is coming for the New.

I realize quite well. Australie and Siam are quite far away, the French dropped out so that Allen could be more unbiased, and Iberia is a real threat. By the time aid from the east arrives, most of the fighting would be finished.

I haven't dropped, just considering it.

Nation Name: Constitutional Monarchy of the Colombo-Peruvian Empire (Kingdom of Colombia-Peru)
Symbols: Flag and Coat of Arms
Population: 12,845,000 (as of 1900)
Location/Claims: Gran Colombia and Peru.
Capital City: Bogota
Government Type: Constitutional Monarchy
Ideology: Liberty, Order, Capitalism with South American characteristics, Diplomacy.
Leader/s: Mario A. Sanz
Economy: The country's economy has experienced rapid growth since the application of new economic and social reforms in 1870. The Banking and Currency reforms truly, positively impacted the country since it brought investments to the economy and confidence in its stability. Industries have flourished in the Andes, Pacifico, and Caribe regions- arms factories, food processing plants, cash-crops processing plants, iron-ore factories, and cotton mills have sprung up throughout these regions. In other regions, industries have grown but more concentrated in certain spots (especially in regional-capital cities). In the other regions of the country, industry has been focused in major cities as well as strategic places. The country overall is considered as semi-industrialized in World standards, however economists highlight the rapid industrialization and the high growth rate, and predict a future full of opportunity for the country.

Thanks to new technologies and past experiences, this country has become one of the major producers, in the region, of agricultural resources as well as cash crops. This has given Colombia a strategic position in the global markets. The food output has set the basis for a demographic boom in the country. Cash crops have given Colombia a solid source of income to power its growth (along with the industries). And minerals in the country have given the energy and resources needed to continue its industrial expansion. With the discovery of vasts amounts of coal, the country became not only the energy source of its own industries, but also to many others around the world (bringing wealth and prestige to the country).

Infrastructure: The country's infrastructure is very developed in the industrial zones, but it isn't as advanced in other areas. One of the greatest achievements of the government was to be able to communicate all the regions of the country with railroads- creating an essential link which has kept all the territories under direct communication from the central government. The road system of the country is also very developed, but only in the industrial regions of the country; in other underdeveloped regions, infrastructure dates back 30-40 years.

Army: 135,000 Active (45,000 Reserve).

The Colombian Army rapidly modernized after the treaties signed with Austria, Prussia, and the Ottoman Empire. European tactics were brought to the country and adapted to the environment. The modernization of the armament also came about thanks to the purchase of arms from Austria, Great Britain, Egypt, and Bavaria. Currently, the Military Academy works intensively to develop unique tactics based on the factors of weather, geography, and vegetation of the country.

Navy: 50,000 Active (15,000 Reserves).

The Colombian Navy rapidly modernized along with the army. The Navy brought tactics from Austria and the Ottoman Empire and adapted them to the environment and factors of the country's seas. With the increment in trade, the government placed more attention on the modernization of the Navy's arsenal. Purchases from Austria, the Ottoman Empire, and Britain helped Colombia established a solid navy.

Goals: "Diplomacy is the solution" -> Colombia's interests will be to pursuit trade, investment, and good relations with other countries.

History: After the successful independence from Spain, Colombia began working towards building a stable, healthy society. However, the country suffered a temporal break up and Colombia lost Venezuela and Ecuador in the process. During the 1870's Colombia was able to conquer back Venezuela and Ecuador- the opportunity rose after the harsh economic conditions and inefficiency of those governments settled in the minds of the people. Mr. Sanz, the President at the time, established a Constitutional Monarchy (with the approval of a referendum) in order to bring more stability to the central government. Thanks to the successful recovery of all of its territories and the successful establishment of economic reforms in 1870, Colombia was able to gain an influential role in South America. This helped Colombia become closer to Peru, which was suffering political instability at the time. After a successful conservative revolution in Peru, the country set up a Monarchy. A diplomatic marriage between Sanz and the Queen of Peru created a dual monarchy that united Peru and the Gran Colombia. From 1872 to 1874, both countries were united through the diplomatic marriage (with both countries having different constitutions), however after Sanz fell deeply sick (and almost dies) prominent politicians saw the weakness of such political union. In 1875, both countries were joined politically through a treaty negotiated by both governments- the treaty called for the creation of a single constitution and government. At the end of 1875, both territories approved through a referendum the Constitution which effectively replaced a Dual-Monarchy with a single monarchy and a single government.

Part of the history of the country is based on the 1870 RP in which I RP with Colombia as well.

Good, good. FIne for me. 1870

Add Commonwealth of Australië to the Entente... but can we rename it to something else?

He has to join. He has no choice.

And probably Siam.

Yeah, why the Entente? None of us speak French

And no, I don't have a choice. But Australiërs might get pissed if the war drags on for any longer than a few months.

FRENCH YAY

If he wins, they should be like: "Man, shit. Why are we fighting for these guys anyway?" If he loses: "They just lead our brothers to their deaths!"
Either way. A revolt.

Yes indeed. I would like to see revolutions in colonies all around the world. That'd be nice :3

WATCH DA IC
*cackles evilly*

Does anyone know when Allen will go online?

I know he's in Australia (Melbourne, I think), but I don't know about his schedule.

Now. I am everyone, everywhere.

I am a part of you, little mortal. A blemish on your fragile little psyche.

Alright, wtf is Calt doing? I shall set some hard and fast numerical rules:

ON TROOP NUMBERS:
No more than 5% of your homeland pop may be in your army (yes, it will ruin the economy, but you might not care if you're, say, getting invaded by Hitler or something)
No more than 2% pop of colonies who are your culture may be in armies (I will make exceptions; those being decentralized and totally Dutchified Australie, for example)
No more than 1% pop of colonies who are not your culture may be in armies (you are, however, allowed to ship troops in from elsewhere)
No more than 1% of your pop may be fighting relatively far from their homeland/supply base

[The Nation of Hay]

What do you mean by colonies being or not being your culture?

[Emilio Aguinaldo]

The Dtch have 300k from homeland and 600k from colonies, then they have 80k from Australia. Almost 1 mil according to al numbers.

[Reatra]

Hola again!

[Alleniana]

What do you mean by colonies being or not being your culture?

Ask me if in doubt. Algeria is not French culture, Egypt is not Italian culture, but Australie is Dutch culture, while I'd say about half of South Africa is Dutch Culture (the south half), Sri Lanka & Indonesia are not, etc. etc. etc.

Ramastan would be Siam culture, Somalia is not Chinese, Oman is not Chinese, Morocco is not Iberian, New Amsterdam is Dutch, Lesser Antilles are French, Cuba & Puerto Rice are American. I will give a judgement on all of the confusing ones.

Obviously, not hard and fast. Australia may raise up to 5% if their economy supports it, China may not raise any from Somalia & Oman (because ongoing revolt), Ramastan may have, say, about 4%, ya know.

The Dtch have 300k from homeland and 600k from colonies, then they have 80k from Australia. Almost 1 mil according to al numbers.

That's... not right

[Reatra]

Yes, they're calming down a bit now though. We are giving the rich the right to vote on Emperor-picked governor candidates that are native to the country. Though they don't know that they're Emperor-picked. Like the Romans said, if you give them bread and games, they won't revolt. I'm making sure food gets to them too.

[Emilio Aguinaldo]

How is South Africa Dutch? OTL Do we see South Africans strutting around being british? Likewise to India.

[Reatra]

Well, South Africa being British isn't true, but definitely not native African? Totally.

[Emilio Aguinaldo]

Well, South Africa being British isn't true, but definitely not native African? Totally.

Well, if South Africa is Dutch ITTL then I'm the pope.

[Axonic]

Well, South Africa being British isn't true, but definitely not native African? Totally.

Well, if South Africa is Dutch ITTL then I'm the pope.

Then I'm the Anti-Pope!

[The Nation of Hay]

This is just militia btw. Don't forgot their 400,000 trained soldiers

[Emilio Aguinaldo]

I calculated it. The Dutch can have 497,600 from Dutchlands 492000 from colonies and 24834 from the bastardized New York. One can increase the one from bastardized new york to 130,000 because they're defending their home lands.

Though they don't know that they're Emperor-picked. Like the Romans said, if you give them bread and games, they won't revolt. I'm making sure food gets to them too.

Can you gimme some stats? How many troops, how many ships, how high the taxes are, how they're ruled, religious freedom, etc.

[Emilio Aguinaldo]

To Hannover, I may not be a superpower, but I'm a continental power.
Also, I did the math in my maximum number of troops if I get invaded. 1,150,000 men.

[Reatra]

Really, we don't care, as long as they don't revolt and give us their resources to fuel our industries and a small tax, just enough to cover the cost of actually having them, then they can do whatever.
