Poland, you gonna have some very mad noble families.

The country should disintegrate into civil war in a month or two. That'll be interesting.

@ Hannover: Indeed; I'll be making Mysore Rockets, the first metal tube weapons, in about twenty OTL. With combined research and any further impetus, that time might be shortened.

I doubt it, many of Polands nobles lived in Krakow Krakau, which is in Russia Prussia.

I have no life
Yellow = Catholicism
Purple = Protestantism
Orange = Eastern Orthodox
Green = Islam
The Darkest Red = Animism (I know the Americas would be vastly this, atleast North, but I frankly couldn't be fucked )
Other Red = Hinduism
Blue = Buddhism

Prussia (as in de jure Prussia) is Lutheran, Kuba and Reichhafen are Catholic (well, it's basically half and half at this point in time). Florida and everything below sort of Georgia is also Catholic.

[Liecthenbourg]

Oh but there are Orthodox People there, I'd have just assumed there would be more Animistic peoples.
I'll change it if you want.

These provinces should be Orthodox.

Thanks Liech!

You coloured in some that aren't even yours.

[Caltarania]

So, those 500,000 troops.

I hope they're used against Prussia. Then I can have Frederick say:

"We have to cripple their production; Scorched Earth tactics. Burn every farm in their petty Commonwealth."

Oh, and I think I can use this attack on the nobility to my advantage.

(Hint: A House Divided Cannot Stand)

Also, Saxony is pretty pro Prussian considering they are Saxons. Silesia, Krakow and elements of Prussia and Lithuania would be the only real support the PLC has in Prussia. Bohemia is eh, but they'd either prefer more autonomy or total independence rather than joining the Commonwealth. Courland was also never Polish-Lithuanian ITTL, just so you know.

Oh yeah, oops.
Disregard those.

I'll have a map up again later, maybe.

So, though it's not written yet, I think I'll use this as my anthem...

Totally not because it is based on the best anthem ever...

Mhm.

My main problem is that 90% of the German and Prussian anthems haven't been written yet xD

Cool!
The Chinese had impressive knowledge in regards to gunpowder, maybe the rockets could even become more accurate.

Also, we could extend this to cannons, sword-making techniques, etc. if you want.

Yeah, totally got it. Not following the ETW TL. I'm gonna a different path with the same end.

My anthem shouldn't exist yet.
It does though.

I like your optimism. But, just so you know, I plan to use to fear to instigated against the nobility to offer them support and arms in exchange for fealty to Prussia. I should be able to get at least 10% of the Polish nobles to adhere to such terms, methinks.

[Caltarania]

I think I'll have the anthem I said as the Royal Anthem, and then have a separate national one.

By the way that A-H one was really good xD

Austria-Hungary had a pretty awesome anthem.
It makes me want to RP A-H simply for that reason

Hmm. As for my nat. anthem, I think maybe Ode to Joy? It was written around this time anyway, so.

Okay, the 10% is yours.. if they can leave Poland...

I'd suppose so.
I'm trying to find a replacement for "Kimigayo" but I don't think "We're All Asian" by Rucka Rucka Ali would cover it.

I don't plan on having them leave.

I plan on using them to gather intelligence and in general destroy you from the inside. And then, should we succeed, I plan on having them be the new nobles of the land we conquer. Whomever is most useful can be the Prince of the Polen (or maybe Ost-Land? Don't know name yet) Reichsprovinz.

I still remember when he visited Ankh Mauta.

I'm not sure if I was there for that, but still, pretty fucking cool.

Alright if we're going 6 months per page I suggest we start posting about stuff that isn't happening in early January.

This should be fun but I'm sorta getting this world war vibe from the situation regarding Poland. Certainly you two realize that the combined forces of Italy,the Bourbons and Austro-Germany would sweep the floor with you so fast you couldn't even say "Treaty of Versailles" (of course with this being the 18th century and the size of such size being on par, if not larger than WWI it would only be fair to assume that the terms of a surrender would be about 20x more crippling than the actual treaty of Versailles).

Just some food for thought before we advance.

I'm having way too much fun with this post.

Well, we'll see.

Juth ffthop quackin' already, Daffy?

World War, just call it "Frederick's War", a war he will lose. Right, Daffy?

It doesn't make any sense for them to get involved, though.

This is one of my biggest hatreds of NS RPing; dogpiling. If this were the real world, none of those nations would want to even get involved in Poland. The Bourbons risk having some of their most fertile lands in France being ravaged by the Prussian army, Austro-Germany risks loosing the support of Pro-Prussians in it's nation (which, I'd imagine, would be a large amount of people) and Venice just doesn't have any reason to go to war. The only thing I can think of is if they were to claim that they're fighting for the faith, which even then is incorrect considering that Prussia is basically secular, but is Lutheran, and Russia is Orthodox. While they could claim to be fighting heretics, they risk having social unrest in Lutheran/Calvinist areas (of which, by the way, there are everywhere).

There is a reason why, IOTL, Poland-Lithuania was eaten by Prussia, Russia and Austria. That reason is, and I'm oversimplifying a bit but eh, governments don't jump for the chance to go to war unless it benefits them. War with two of the most powerful nations in Europe doesn't benefit anyone.

Just some "food for thought" before we advance.
