Airships and Landboats [OOC]

Still, deciding the outcome of a battle without the other person's consent is not cool, even with overwhelming forces.

Indeed.

For some reason, I feel like engaging Russia in a war. Nothing to do with Poland-Germany, but perhaps to regain the Baltic states, Karelia, and Murmansk. I believe we may be the only nation capable of invading Russia in the dead of winter, so I have that going for me, which is nice.

Scandinavia, allies? I want to attack Russia as well.

Sure, sounds good. Nothing formal or discussed ICly though, as I do not want to tip Russia off that he may be facing some trouble in Europe. One of us will attack and the other will attack soon after they hear about it, mainly because Russia will respond to the first and and be left disadvantaged by the second one attacking. Just, don't be like a real-life Austria-Hungry and be absolutely terrible and I have to bail you out and such.

In light of this, I think I will make peace with Germania. The armies attacking Russia would be dangerously close to me. I will propose a treaty with the Germanians on the IC soon and reposition the Polish army.

Yeah, and I don't think you're in too much of a position to downtalk to Germany, man. However, I do believe you can force some diplomacy by saber rattling with the Germans for use of their port facilities and railroads in East Prussia. This will give you better access to international trade and the like, which is awesome.

It wouldn't exactly be downtalking. More of acknowledging their rule of the former Western provimces. I have enough coastline for 1 port city, but I can negotiate with the USSR for some or their ports, you will remember my alliance with them. When next we meet, it will be on the field of battle my friend. ( )

They are socialist pig dogs, their mother is satan, and father is the vile wretched of the human race. They joined in their sins against GAWD.

But seriously though, I believe they may support each other, but I'm not entirely sure. Canada and Poland are also in the mix, but those are easily handled elsewhere. However, I'm not sure the Far East will play too much of a factor in victory.

Indeed, battle is in our blood. We wish to maintain the balance of power, but at the same time, which to expand our own and regain lost land, putting at odds with the Red Behemoth. However, war is simply the failure of diplomacy.

Super-weapon Name: Uranium incendiaries
Picture: N/A
Description: There is little Uranium can do when it you lack the knowledge to make nuclear weapons or power plants, but there is much it can do when you have the knowledge to grind it up into dust. Uranium is pyrophoric, meaning that it is easily ignited at room temperature when it has a certain surface area. This is the strength of uranium incendiaries; spontaneous ignition upon exposure to air and room temperature. A uranium incendiary is an explosive device, either a grenade or a cannon shell, that uses uranium's pyrophoric properties to destroy the enemy. In the grenade variant, a vacuum-sealed casing is filled with uranium powder and given a small charge. When detonated, the charge breaks the seal and ignites the uranium, creating a devastating area of effect of ten meters. Uranium incendiary shells work differently; instead, a slug is propelled at a velocity where the slug is pulverized, resulting in-you guessed it-a devastating explosion. Such shells are used primarily by the battleships and aerovessels, including the mighty Kamikaze.
Power Source: Uranium

That is perhaps the most expensive explosive device you could have. Alkaline metals would be in far more abundance and cheaper to produce, like Lithium, and produce just as much fire and explosion.

But do they have the mass to punch through something? Considering they weigh anywhere from a fifth as much as uranium or lead to a tenth... Probably not.

Nation Name: United Brittonic Republic
Flag: See current
Coat of Arms/Seal: wip
Other Symbols: wip
Population: ~4 million (unsure of the evolution of population growth in steampunk world)
Location/Claims: UK Ireland Belgium Netherlands
Capital City: London
Government Type: Republic
Ideologies: Capitalism, Liberalism, globalization, free trade
Leader/s: Parliament with 100 representatives, Parliamentary Speaker Darien Shield
Main Imports: Lumber, precious stones, foreign natural luxury resources (like gum, tobacco etc)
Main Exports: Heavy machinery, Coal, Steel
Economy: Very robust and industrialized, well put together. Massive trade fleets and extreme global interests for trade.
Infrastructure: Well maintained, rail lines and Airship routes criss-cross the nation.
Army: Comparatively small, mostly placed on coastal watch and defense, Landship divisions are dropped in favor of infantry equipment and artillery. Most infantry are national guard-equivalent peacekeepers.
Navy: Most well equipped and funded branch of the United Republic, old wooden vessels are on the way out in nfavor of steam-propelled ironclads. Trade fleets are vast and far-reaching.
Aerial Fleet: Very advanced, however few in number as they require more maintenance and overhauls than most. Civilian fleet is very oriented to maximum load bearing capacity, therefore generally larger. Steam-propelled heavier-than-air aircraft are being experimented with.
Goals: Create diverse trade routes on global scale, resolve conflicts as they appear to maintain global stability. Ultimately become the largest economic power.
History: The United Kingdom of Britain and Scotland was a rising star by the early 1500s, and the recent developments in industrial technology really helped it take off as a power. The rise in militarization of the new British Empire created a tense relationship with the Low Countries across the channel. This tension built up until it snapped in the year 1561, where a war broke out between the two, the traditionalist views of Britain clashed violently with the more liberal Low Countries. This war built up an industrial capacity of both nations, causing massive casualties and sparking scientific advancement. The war culminated in British landing in Amsterdam in 1573, the blitz of airships accompanied by a large naval fleet devastating the capitol.

With the decisive loss of their capitol, the Low Countries signed their submission to the crown of Britain. This proved to be fatal to the Kingdom however. As the technologies were shared between the two and trade became the common language of the nation, new ideas perforated the once ironclad superiority of monarchy. Injustices began being pointed out, and political debate swelled. Propagated by faster spread of news, the Kingdom was faced with either reform or revolution, and they chose the latter. The monarchy became a republic, the monarchical line given a seat in the new Parliament.

Under republic rule, trade began swelling, backed up by new technologies being sponsored by the Republic government. This new trade and technological surge created a rise in capitalism, companies replacing craftworkers and guilds of old. The Republic has set their considerable economic power to the global stage, working towards uniting the world under a banner of free trade and free men.

But do they have the mass to punch through something? Considering they weigh anywhere from a fifth as much as uranium or lead to a tenth... Probably not.

There's just so many things wrong with it. Uranium is hard to come by first of all, and mining it would be uneconomical since it is only used for weaponry. It would not be able to be made into bullets or the like due to the scarcity of the metal, and is overall just a terrible idea, not mention the radiation effects of it.

Lithium is more abundantly found and thus would be a better incendiary device, but since you are so keen on making incinderary rounds of ammunition, Potassium would have the mass. However, these would be fucked in water and oxidize in air. So, this means uranium would not be able to be exposed as artillery shells or ammunition, and only in dry conditions can Alkali metals be used.

There's some chemistry you're not understanding too much here...The vacuum-sealed variants would work in theory, but will be incredibly delicate as too much handling and movement will cause the container to fail and explode.
