1905 AH RP: The Aftermath of a Great War (OOC/Open)

[The New Sea Territory]

So what are the sides in this new war?

[The New Sea Territory]

Hey everybody, just got a big post up. I have to go out of town, and I'll try to post, but if I don't post as often, just assume that Serbia is still in general shootouts between the PRA and Red Army. Bolkania, I'd ask that you wait for me before doing anything major. I'm gonna be at the beach for a week...again, I'll try to at least post once or twice.

Ew.. I just realized the Serbian rebels are communistic. Oh God, you can forget ever getting my support! Zvezda Srbija, nikad Communista Jugoslavija.

Not all the Serbian rebels are communists. There are three factions...the socialists (which are nearly dead), the nationalists (want a Serbian monarchy and "Greater Serbia"), and the communist Red Army.

Ah, the good old Chetniks are still around, this is good!

Currently, their getting beat back by the communists and are losing public support, but with some supplies and luck, they could beat the Reds.

Well, my newest post is up involving Italy and Serbo-Bulgaria!

Couple points I'd like to make, to be clear.

1. The communists only control southern Serbia. Kragujevac and everything south of it, with the exception of Nis.

2. Novi Sad is a Hungarian territory, and has been for a while, I think. So, you could be a Serb but not really from Serbia. Vojvodina isn't technically Serbia, and hasn't been any time recently.

3. The PRS, while currently doesn't have a constitution, is going to separate church and state, and declare secular government and freedom of religion. (Just a political move...to try to at least gain some credibility from neighbors.

Nobody is talking to Germany.

Invade France, you'll make friends who will then talk to you. Problem solved.

Vojovdina is still Serbia, as it's a Serbian populated region.

I thought there is it's own ethnic group? Oh well...

It hasn't truly been under Serbian rule since before the ottomans, I guess.

[The New Sea Territory]

Name of your Rebel Group: Romanian Liberation Front
Country that you are rebelling in: The Hungarian Empire
Base of Operations: Banat, Transylvania, the Hungarian Empire
Number of Followers/Members:
Combatants- 5,000
Non-Combatants- 7,000
Why you are rebelling: The Romanian Liberation Front fights to gain gain Veca Rumunija, the ideological name for a greater Romania. The RLF is also rebelling against years of aggressive assimilation efforts and genocide attempts by the Hungarians to get rid of the majority Romanian presence in the area.
Popular support: The Romanian Liberation Front enjoys significant popular support from the majority Romanian populace in Transylvania and Central Romania, as well as in Vojvodina where Serbs loyal to the Queen of Romania are , and in the Kingdom of Rumunija (Romania proper).
Quality of Weapons, from 1 to 10: 6 (7-7.5 when Romanian aid gets through)
Short history of your Group: The Romanian Liberation Front was founded by the young nationalist/monarchist Alexandru Vladimirescu in 1903 as a political movement for a Romanian annexation of the territory, but the RLF quickly gained many popular supporters as the Romanian government sputtered about in chaos, and armed insurrection began in early 1905. The movement is now significant enough to pose a problem for the Hungarians and Hungarian Empire in the region.

You wanna ally with the nationalists in Serbia?

[The New Sea Territory]

The hardest difficulty in Wolfenstein: The New Order I über, and Über concrete is the stuff 1960s German use to build buildings

Wow.

Almost beat that game. I'm fighting deathshead on the last level now.

[The New Sea Territory]

Almost beat that game. I'm fighting deathshead on the last level now.

Well, things should be easier for the rebels now that I have invaded Bulgaria.

Oh, cool. The communists will launch attacks on Nis then.

[The New Sea Territory]

You should go ahead and invade all of Bulgaria and take it over. Then fund the nationalists. Beat the commies, and annex Serbia.

[The New Sea Territory]

Hey...I gotta drop out here. If nothing has happened in Serbia yet, say the Communists win, defeat the Nationalists in Serbia and drive them into neighboring Hungarian territory. The socialists retreat to Bulgaria and disassemble their army.

Marsisian, this is your friendly neighbourhood devil's advocate Seljuq Kyiv informing you of the ASB-ness of this TL, which I will be happy to explain by TG if it is requested. I am deeply heartbroken that Germany is taken, having missed my chance to try out a new Wilhelm II. I hear the Netherlands are taken? And what, pray tell, is the POD, 1878?

Nation Name: The Kingdom of Belgium and its Possessions
Symbols: Flag, Coat of Arms
Population: 7,238,600
Location/Claims: Belgium, the Philippines, the Mouth of the Congo past Kinshasa-Brazzaville and up to the Kwango, South Africa
Capital City: Brussels
Government Type: Federal parliamentary constitutional monarchy
Ideology: Liberalism, pillarisation, imperialism
Leader/s: Leopold II, King of the Belgians and their Subjects
Economy: Main exports: Rubber, ivory, spices, coal, iron, zinc, wool, glass; mercantilism vs free trade: Free trade baby; tariffs/duties: Free trade baby; customs strictness: Free trade baby; currency: Francs; embargoes: None atm; strength: Free trade baby etc.
Infrastructure: Very developed.
Army: 57,908
Navy: Probably 10 ironclads, most of it centered around the Philippines. Other ships, green water and brown water navy, scattered throughout Leopold's demesne.
Air Force: Two vessels, British imports.
Technology: 8/10 in the metropole, dreadful in the colonies.
Goals: Industrialisation, imperialisation.
History: Leopold II took the leap to seize colonies during a prolonged Third Carlist War and its aftermath; as a result, Belgium now possesses the Philippines and is introduced to the rubber trade. Seeing the potential, the Congo is explored, but it doesn't get too far due to the terrain. Otherwise, they developed their colonies for cash crops such as rubber, and hunted for ivory, whilst the Eastern Question was answered. The result was a Britain that left the world stage with its colonies departed; Belgium made a deal with Britain to safeguard South Africa until such a time when Britain might be able to reclaim it, not so different from the Anglo-Dutch Treaty during the Napoleonic War.
RP Sample: Verily, none other than Seljuq Kyiv, Lord Chancellor of 1870, Sovereign Protector of 1875 and thy Humble Jester of Many-Wits.

Well good luck handling those Filipino rebels that will pop up.

I've gotta hand it to you, I nearly perished the thought.

Hon hon hon hon. Bad history joke.

[The SFSR]

-snip-

Well good luck handling those Filipino rebels that will pop up.

Edit: For the Poland issue. Wroclaw is in the German Empire not A-H.

Or something more direct, it's hard to rebel if you ain't got no hands.

Hon hon.

[The SFSR]

Wait, if that dude can play Hesse-Kassel, can I theoretically play the Konigreich Preussen?

[The SFSR]

Germany applied last night, after the map was last updated. He needs to add a unified Iberia to the map along with the Germans, who ate the Netherlands and Northern Switzerland.

I know France is not taken, while it is on the map, and that is a hugely important to the entirety of the RP, and of course the Papacy. Perhaps if you have a good RP background you could consider applying for that?

Otherwise most of Europe has been claimed by now. All that is left is really well um nothing I think, other than France and Luxembourg, which I can imagine the Belgians or Germans will peruse. the western half of South America is currently unclaimed however historical Pan Columbia is being attacked by Guatemala. We do not have a Mexico, but they were eaten to a degree by both the CSA and Guatemala. Canada is mainly entirely an American puppet and is being invaded by the Nords. No Australia/New Zealand or China. China would be important at the time as well.

Also SFPRS (sorry if I got that wrong, editing is sometimes, mainly, awful): I think he is a rebel group within Germany. Which, as the Polish rebels were, given autonomy by the Russians. But, for him to start off he has to be a rebel group I think.

Hmm, it's at a great toss between France and Belgium. I really like both, but I like that I have a plan for the second, whereas I'm just gonna go in without any idea on what to do for the second. At the same time, I like doing the soft power plus gunboat diplomacy thing great powers like France are able to do, and it helps that I have the second largest navy and a bone to pick with Germany.

Tough call. I'll try apping for France as well and see what Mars thinks.

Thank you for the update, I think I found an outdated version of Germany's app. For now, I'm not interested in playing France or the Papacy, so I hereby withdraw my app. I do find it highly remarkable, though, that Germany was able and allowed to annex the Netherlands and parts of Switzerland (which has its independence guaranteed by a lot of European nations) just like that - but if the player was allowed to do so by the OP, there's nothing to do about that. Good luck with this rp!

Well there is the issue of almost all the other European powers being devastated by war except Germany. You could still be a Dutch rebel group fighting for its independence which would likely gather backing from most of Europe or you could perhaps just negotiate with the player who has Germany here and see if he will release it and you can just play it instead.

Yeah, I'm still finding Germany's story ASB to be honest.

[The SFSR]

Well I am an experienced player on an alt. He knows who Seljuq Kyiv is.

Nation Name: The Second French Empire
Symbols: The Tricolour
Population: 135,000,000
Location/Claims: Second French Empire as of 1870, plus the Chinese concessions, Indochina, Djibouti, Madagascar, probably some of Brazzaville Congo. Most importantly Mexico and France.
Capital City: Paris
Government Type: Constitutional Monarchy
Ideology: Monarchism, Imperialism,
Leader/s: Emperor Napoleon IV
Economy: The French economy is mostly Capitalist, with some Socialist aspects of the economy put on due to pressure from the revolutionaries in 1871. Due to the now non-existent Revolutionary threat, the Socialist elements have been downsized a bit.
Infrastructure: The Infrastructure of the French Empire is just like any other Western nation, a few commercial airlines on small, relatively nimble planes, a lot of railroads, and some roads in use in the countryside to connect rural villages.
Army: The French Army, numbering some 510,000 men, is all around the Empire, and extremely a professional force to be reckoned with due to the Army being an all-volunteer force. In times of war, conscription can be applied as usual.
Navy: The French Navy is a force of 100,000 men second-only to the Royal Navy of Great Britain. The shipyards of the nation churn out naval ships at a normal rate. A sizable number of them are deployed in the Colonies of French China, Gabon, and French Indochina.
Air Force: Due to the French Imperial leadership focusing mainly on the Army and Navy, the Air Force is usually neglected, but recent times have stirred up an interest in aerial warfare and bombing, so it's been funded in a lot more. There are 10,000 troops in the Air Force with about 50 Zeppelins.
Goals: Usurp Britain's hegemony over the seas.
History: After 1871, the French Empire had many problems. Socialist Revolutionaries were rising in Paris, they lost Alsace and Lorraine to the Germans, and the Empire paled in comparison to the British. But not all hope was lost.

For a time, there was a nominal regency in the Prince Beyond the Sea's name under the Orleanists, but France's loyalties swayed where the wind blew. The age of the Orleanist was short, and while prosperous and peaceful, would not last. In the mean time, the nation took to recouping its losses through colonial landgrabs, especially in the Far East, but most importantly in Africa, where it began setting up outposts, slowly at first, of course, and not quite extensive, not yet.

Then in 1878, terror struck across the Pacific. The Confederacy seceded, once again, from the Union, thus diverting all of Uncle Sam's attention from its defense of the Monroe Doctrine. There remained the flimsy casus belli of outstanding debts that Mexico simply could not repay. Napoleon IV saw his chance to reenter the world stage, and did. With support from Habsburg Austria (who had supported the last adventure with terrible results), and loyalist volunteers from France and Britain (Nappy's chosen location of exile), an expedition gave rise to the Third Mexican Intervention, the only successful one at that.

Thus was ushered in a new age of a French presence in North America, where an independent Emperor Napoleon I of Mexico saw his political skills honed, lying in wait for the chance to return to his motherland and take his lawful throne. There was also the reestablishment of cordial ties with old friends, once severed by an impertinent lord father.

Then, the First Great War started, it took its course, with early victories for the Triple Powers, but then late victories for the Dual Alliance. The country's military was devastated in the war, but no infrastructure and civilians died due to the war not being on their land.

So did the Bonapartist Restoration come into full swing. Upon France's defeat in the Great War, crowds, nay, mobs gathered throughout the streets of Paris and other cities in France in protest and full-on riot. This weak king had betrayed them, had handed over the gates of Jerusalem to Orthodox heathens. Riots turned dreadfully violent, and soon the masses assembled before Versailles itself, seeking the head of the Regent-King. In the end, the Orleanist regime abdicated peacefully, and a returning Napoleon was crowned triumphant in Paris. There was much rejoicing.

Now is the winter of our discontent, made glorious summer by this son of York.

First post coming up.

[The SFSR]

Hey, Commie guy playing France, I didn't make any threats. Just letting you know that. Well, not openly and officially, anyway.

It was a veiled threat, and was seen as such ICly. It was pretty obvious and while it may have been directed to Austria, the same letter was sent to France. It's all a prestige game, ya know.

[The SFSR]

Anyone want to fund some Irish rebels?

I will finally begin funding you starting January 31st. I will get the letter about your Rebellion on the 26th, and the Czar will personally fund them (800 Thousand Rubels okay to start?)

Telegrams, gurl!

[The SFSR]

Mars, the entire Nunavut region has fallen to Imperial Nordic rule.

That will be in the next update

Remove Belgium from the map and include French claims in Mexico.
