I suggest we keep it as 1875, or whatever. Names only sound stupid when they are new, and any old, commonly used name becomes good sounding.


I definitely agree. I like our title. It is simple and lets everyone know what we are doing. :)

And in reference to the series as a whole, we'll say 1870.

True, but I had understood that the title doesn't change with the advancement of time?
But well, 1875 or 1870, it still holds the idea either way :P

Era of Darkness; dafuq, we're golden aging, bra!
East Vs West; that's been a surprisingly underused theme so far in the RP; there has been rather little racial intolerance, and not a great deal of extra colonisation.
Imperial Ambitions; ehh, could work, but somewhat generic, and as we move into the age of revolutions, less appropriate
Ballad of Death; hmm... sorta, but just too dark for me, at least
Empire or Bust; see IA

Keep droning on about how Bosnia will only breed Serbian and Slavic contempt, and that Romania has ludicrously rich mineral deposits, namely gold.

Then again, Austria could see itself on top if it only asked for mining rights and the opening of factories, which was Brissia's modus operandi for most of 1870.

*Pokes head in*

Oh hey, what are we talking about guys?


How to keep Slavs allies and at the same time carve a slice from the Thanksgiving feast.

I saw info about it on various pages, but not a wikipedia dedicated specifically about the trip.

Thoughts on what to do with Bolivia; puppet Republic of Bolivia, or puppet Republic of Gran Chaco and Mamoré, or puppet Republic of Gran Chaco and puppet Republic of Mamoré, or no puppet, just reparations, or genocide and no puppet, or full-retard annex, or partition among nearbies?

And so he spoke, and so he spoke,
that lord of Castamere,
But now the rains weep o'er his hall,
with no one there to hear.
Yes now the rains weep o'er his hall,
and not a soul to hear.

Puppet and mining rights. Cheaper, and gives you the mines you need.

2 or 1 puppet, and retain Bolivian nationalism, or create a new nationalism?
Also, def. puppet would include mining rights; it'll be nationalized, except nationalized for Chile rather than themselves.
