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

[The SFSR]

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

These lands will be Italian once more [1], the question is, will they return [peacefully, or through other means] [2]? Italia shall rise, friends. But will you be it's friend, or it's foe [3]? [...] Enough blood has been spilled already.[4]

The way the French government might read it:

[1] Regardless of what our respective Governments or the inhabitants of those regions say, do, or want.
[2] You are basically declaring an ultimatum. A peaceful cession now or armed conflict some other time.
[3] Implying that if we do not agree to your demands, we will become your foes.
[4] And more (specifically French/Austrian) shall be spilled if we refuse.

[The SFSR]

Tat map is extremely inaccurate and is of modern Europe.

Well, for a big part, it looks very accurate. And entire peoples don't tend to walk around that much in hundred years.

Linguistic map, meaning languages, which does not always correspond with ethnic maps.

Plus, there was the whole deal with Prussia and Poland after World War 2, so I imagine the composition there has changed greatly.

[The SFSR]

Telegrams, gurl!

What about them?

They have been invented.

[The SFSR]

Isn't the French rule in Mexico going to be very unstable?

Nappy's on good terms with the Catholic majority, it is just the Liberals that he has to fear.

[The SFSR]

They have been invented.

Maybe they want to be safe.

But from the Russian Embassy to the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs? Surely tapping those wires would be a death wish on Westminister?

By the way, I hope you received my letter regarding a supply drop-off.

[The SFSR]

Expect a post soon.

[The SFSR]

Marsisisan, will need some backstory on dem Socialists that I have. Are they remnants of the Paris Commune? Did the Paris Commune suffer brutal reprisals as per real life?

Fret not, child; maintain the passivity of thine bosoms. A post shall rise forth upon the morrow.

Uh... Did Italy just conquer 3,418,400 km² in a single post?

[The SFSR]

Uh... Did Italy just conquer 3,418,400 km² in a single post?

I think so, anyways Poland has more important things to worry about like our civil war that just erupted

Uh... Did Italy just conquer 3,418,400 km² in a single post?

Yes and in horrible detail that made them sound like a narrow minded, non-traditionalist people nonetheless.

Right, calling shenanigans of the godmod order. I don't even have to cite Italy's performance in the Italo-Turkish War.

[The SFSR]

Yeah, or their later invasion of Ethiopia which they repetitively saw lags in their invasion and even reclaiming of land by men with spears. But lets not forget their WW2 middle East Campaign. They had good tanks, the natives had fucking horsemen with bows an arrows and what do you know, Italy lost. You can keep going back in Italy's history and trace it to late Rome when their failure to get shit done in the battlefield cost them an extensive Empire full of superior units and regional militias. I loved the Bolognian-Pisan war over a pot which took place in the late middle-ages. Three men die before Pisa gives back the pot.

Regardless of their offensive capabilities, you simply cannot capture 3,418,400 km² in one post.

[The SFSR]

Who knows, the Italian military might be good in this RP

Good enough to annex a nation roughly the size of the European Union in a single post, no doubt.

I doubt that.

Because that's clearly what happened.

Once again calling shenanigans of the godmod order. Make your call, OP.

[The SFSR]

I suppose he has to make more posts to get the Sudan and Egypt

Or just one long post spanning several days.

DAYS?

[The SFSR]

I know my post was OP, but I was tired and I didn't want to wake up in the morning to see my future conquests being conquered, so sue me (please don't).

Wait, how did Albania go through the Suez? I took it before his colonists left. Dude didn't even ask first. Rude.

1. When was this?
2. Under international treaty, the Suez Canal may be used "in time of war as in time of peace, by every vessel of commerce or of war, without distinction of flag."

Actually, passage through the Suez Canal is up to the prerogative of the company that owns it, the Universal Suez Company. Which happens to be French.

[The SFSR]

Perhaps we should have an international convention on what to do with the canal? You could all meet in Geneva. Could be the first thing in he conference thread.

Except no, the Canal belongs to a French company.

EDIT: Requesting map edits to show my control of French Indochina (as per my app), as well as my new acquisitions in the South Pacific.

[The SFSR]

Dangelia is just jealous because Albania cannot into cute viral Prosecutor General.

And Italian Switzerland shall be invaded. Because Greater Italy.

The Dutch would put you under embargo for that. We don't like neutrality violations .

What about Luxembourg?

[The SFSR]

What about Luxembourg?

Yeah, those too, probably . I don't think the Italians will be too spooked by the idea of a Luxembourgian embargo, though.

No, I mean Luxembourg had its independence and its neutrality guaranteed twice iirc. Yet the Netherlands still holds it.

EDIT: I really commend how the OP is letting supreme godmod slide.

[The SFSR]

Actually, France. Egypt collapsed into tribes. The player was kicked from the RP. So it's like he was never here really.

That makes zero sense. You're basically saying that if nobody played Britain, the Picts would rule in Scotland.

Please read up on Egyptian history from Muhammad Ali Pasha and the Oriental Crisis onwards. I would cite the Ottomans, the Mamlukes, the Ayyubids, the Fatimids, hell the ancient dynasties, to prove that such an existence is impossible. But hey, so is Russia overrunning the Ottoman Empire and keeping it for several years.

Except no, the Canal belongs to a French company.

EDIT: Requesting map edits to show my control of French Indochina (as per my app), as well as my new acquisitions in the South Pacific.

Except no, the Canal belongs to Italy since I fucking conquered it. That French company and whatever dealings it had with Egypt, are now null and void.

And please specify where in the South Pacific.

Uh, no. While you physically control Egypt up to Sinai, the Canal belongs to the Universal Suez Company, and that belongs to its shareholders. This is regardless of the current occupant of Egypt up to Sinai (see: Egypt, which was a major shareholder of the canal; Britain, which bought Egypt's shares; Italy, which owned some shares).

Therefore, even if you, to quote, "fucking conquered" Egypt and the Sudan (which could not have happened in one post), the Canal belongs to the shareholders of said company. What you are suggesting amounts to the theft of the property of French citizens, which is in itself an act of war.

As mentioned in my IC post. Which are the territories marked 11, 13, and 14.

It's more of a vacation than permanent. If war is gonna break out between France and Italy I have no choice but to run away really.

There won't be a war, because France is being dumb.

Seriously, any agreements he had with Egypt (which by the way, he had none) are now null and void considering the nation collapsed into anarchy. We're restoring order to a nation with no government. Any agreements with the former government are no longer valid. And he never even had any agreements anyway.

Besides, to move it is like saying you know you won't succeed in a peace conference (which won't happen, because it can't happen, because it's not necessary). Also, I doubt the French would attack the Holy See.

Hur hur.

On government, refer to the history of Egypt from Muhammad Ali Pasha and the Oriental Crisis onwards. But whatever gets you off.

[The SFSR]

Also, Vic, I kept Slovenia, but I'll sell it to you later.

You still have part of Slovenia.

I like how we said the scramble for africa isn't happening, but people seem to still be colonizing it. It doesn't really matter, I just find it interesting. Seems pretty realistic that the European powers would colonize it, even if this is AH.

African clay is good for colonizing.

That makes zero sense. You're basically saying that if nobody played Britain, the Picts would rule in Scotland.

And that government was deposed before we invaded, not to mention, you'd also have to declare war on Hungary. And I can probably get Albania in on it as we're allies.

Btw, you can't own Falklands and South Georgia, the Peru guy already has them.

As far as I am aware treaties extend to a government and its successors. Hungary can't have overseas possessions if it doesn't have sea access. I've mentioned this to Marsisian repeatedly in the past. Eh, Albania rocks.

Noted. Have edited to Cape Town.

[The SFSR]

Send your navy to Europe and I excommunicate you from the Catholic Church and send your entire country into a civil war. Take this as your only warning. Peace will be kept within Europe.

Well then I will float around Europe then.

France/Mexico and its Trans-Atlantic Navy would like to have a word with you.

[The SFSR]

Is Peru really gonna try and invade Europe?

Seems like it. I wish him luck.

Except Hungary can because he has access to my ports.

And there is no government or successor, so the treaty wouldn't extend to anything, because it has nothing to extend to.

How does he maintain a navy in this fashion?

Again, see Egyptian history from 1848 onwards (or from 3150 BC onwards) to see why this is implausible.

Both points are implausible due to me having a coastline in Slovenia..

adjective
(of an argument or statement) not seeming reasonable or probable; failing to convince.
"this is a blatantly implausible claim"

Is it in the map?

The second's a non sequitur, though.

[The SFSR]

Germany c:

Germany, yeah.

Damn, I wanted to play Germany since day one
