I reserved Borneo and Java as independent/unclaimed in my app.

No, you said those were areas of future expansion. Big difference. Besides, as far as I know, you can't reserve another nation when you're already playing as one.

[The Victorian Empire]

Just let it stay.

Well then in that case, he's going to have to color Persia Gray too, because that's another Vassal...

Dude, you said it was a sphere of influence. Make up your damn mind!

[The Victorian Empire]

Austria, what is wrong with Florence? Why Venice? What do you have against Florence? And why do you prefer Venice? What are you planning? Whatever it is, it won't work.

No, you said those were areas of future expansion. Big difference. Besides, as far as I know, you can't reserve another nation when you're already playing as one.

Yes, I explicitly reserved them for future expansion. They are part of my nation, I just decided to RP their acquisition.

That's not how it works.

[The Victorian Empire]

Austria, what is wrong with Florence? Why Venice? What do you have against Florence? And why do you prefer Venice? What are you planning? Whatever it is, it won't work.



That's not how it works.

I choose Venice because the pope wanted it and Franz Joseph likes Venice

The who wanted the what now? When did the Pope choose to be a part of this meeting?

[The Victorian Empire]

The who wanted the what now? When did the Pope choose to be a part of this meeting?

Check the second etter I sent to Franzie. A meeting in Venice was my suggestion, and I was going to inform you and your government of the idea after I got a response from Franzie. That way if he rejected the idea the Italians would not be all 'OH MY GOD KILL THE WITCH HE REFUSES TO MEET US" and the Pope would not have been the cause of the next war.

BUT WHAT'S WRONG WITH FLORENCE!?

[The Victorian Empire]

BUT WHAT'S WRONG WITH FLORENCE!?

Nothing, I just suggested Venice because it is pretty and closer to A-H. Remember I am also unaware of your plan to hold conference in Florence, as you never informed HH via mail.

I didn't realize I needed to tell the Pope everything I do.

How about Palermo?

What's so special about Palermo?

How about Palermo?

Too far from A-H. The Emperor probably doesn't trust the Italians to not you know kill him. I wouldn't if I were him. The closer to A-H the more likely his government would approve.

What? I would never stoop so low as to kill a visiting dignitary. That's just unsporty.

Too far from A-H. The Emperor probably doesn't trust the Italians to not you know kill him. I wouldn't if I were him. The closer to A-H the more likely his government would approve.

Killing him would allow Franz Ferdinand to reform the A-H into the United States of Greater Austria or something similar but yes little Franz doesn't trust the Italians. Not after what they did during the great war.

You do realize it's under new leadership, right?

[The Victorian Empire]

Wait how did Italy gain control of Corsica and Malta?

They were invaded.

[The Victorian Empire]

They were invaded.

But the RN would crush your navy and retake the islands while the French would crush your ground forces and retake it. Italy would be in no state to wage war against the far larger French and British Empires after the great war.

Well fuck, I don't know, Mars never said he owned Corsica when he was France, so I took it. Britain also said he didn't own Malta, so I took it as well. Let's just say they were independent when I invaded?

[The Victorian Empire]

Anyone wanna be a Co-OP plox

Sure, why not.

[The Victorian Empire]

Well Malta would have been of no use to England as they never had Egypt. It was mainly used a stop in between Egypt and England. It could have easily been sold to the Italians as it has no use to the British, especially since the Great War ended.

Corsica is another story.

Edit: Maybe as part of the Treaty with Russia France had to release Corsica as a sovereign state? Especially since France made peace early, it make sense they would have to make some concessions.

This could all be very plausible.

[The Victorian Empire]

This could all be very plausible.

And I doubt Italy would have to invade independent Corsica as it is ethnically Italian. They probably would have willingly joined Italy. And while it seems minor, Napoleon I was from Corsica, so it would be a massive insult to the French if it was released.

^This. I could've launched a simple coup d'etat and taken the island with the snap of my fingers.

[The Victorian Empire]

So... uh.. anyone gonna buy Sniper Elite 3 and Wolfenstein? I know I am.

im so excited for wolfenstein im gonna get it for XB1

The XBone blows. Xbox 360 is far better.

[The Victorian Empire]

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

[The Victorian Empire]

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

Why you telling him? I do the map.

Hey guys, I won't force you to do this, but I HIGHLY HIGHLY HIGHLY advise that you put a date on every post you make.

NEIN

That will be in the next update

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

No, Belgium is an NPC now.

That will be there too.

Sehr gut. Danke.

EDIT: Also found a linguistic map of Europe. Could be useful.

http://img1.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb2007 ... legend.png

I have doubts of the accuracy of this map.

Tat map is extremely inaccurate and is of modern Europe.

Well, I found this ethnic map from the 1900s.

Okay, that one I know is bullshit.

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.

Nag, nag, nag.

Btw Ep, South Tyrol was technically/totally Italian once. Or 5 times.

The Romans are technically not Italians and the Lombards where closer to Germans than Italians, the goths where Germanic and South Tyrol has been Austrian for hundreds of years. South Tyrol is also a majority German speaking and cultural area.

The Romans are technically Italians, because they are. You think the Italian people just popped up out of nowhere following the Roman Empire's demise?

[The Victorian Empire]

No they are not. The Italian culture and language evolved out of Latin and a combination of Roman and Germanic culture. Just because the Romans came from the Italian peninsula doesn't mean they where Italians. Romans where by the specific talk anyone who was a citizen in the Roman Empire. Several Roman Emperor weren't even from the Italian peninsula but where still considered Roman. The classification of Roman was therefor very varied at the height of the Roman Empire.

Alright, fine, Mr. Technical, the Italic Romans were Italian. Better?

[The Victorian Empire]

Alright, fine, Mr. Technical, the Italic Romans were Italian. Better?

Italic is anything Latin. Italian Romans were Italian, Italian anything is Italian.

I meant the Italic peoples.

[The Victorian Empire]

I'm sure you know this but almost all the Catholics here are Maronite.

The Romans have yet to arrive. I am sending them in droves to the new city of Saint David's. Hopefully this will please the local populace as the plan is to not disturb them.

They'll come when I send 'em.

[The Victorian Empire]

They'll come when I send 'em.

I meant Roman Catholics.

Oh, I thought you meant the Italian garrisons sent to protect the Holy Land. Nvm then.

[The Victorian Empire]

Couldn't tell you. If those regions were still ruled by Khans in 1870 you can assume.

There is the nations of Khiva and Bhikkara in RL, and those were ruled by khans, I think.

You mean Khiva and Bukhara? And yes, they were ruled by Khans.

[The Victorian Empire]

Greece, if you think you can take Corfu from me, you're going to be in for one hell of a disappointment.

[The Victorian Empire]

I truly do wonder who will fire the first shot in our first war, and I have a strong feeling it will be Italy, or be shot at Italy.

On a side note, Mars. I have been checking in on other RPs and noticed some of them have a conference thread as to not interfere with the IC one. That could be of use as I foresee plenty of those incoming.

I'll probably start the first war, or someone will probably start the first war with me. It seems everybody just wants to cock-block Italy. Guess I should call in cousin Tony. He'll make them an offer they should not refuse.

[The Victorian Empire]

Mars sorry to bother you but The Nordic Empire now controls all of the Northern Provinces of Canada




So Nunavut, Yukon and Northwest Provinces are all MINE

Why would anyone want to conquer Canada? It's just... emptiness.
