New Imperialism - AH RP v 2.1 [OOC, Signup]

[Caltarania]

That's largely because almost everyone involved in making the blocs has vanished lol. We really do need to replace the GPs. I could switch, but I'd rather not abandon the DK yet.

Yeah, DK is important enough that even switching to a GP isn't a huge plus. If you want to, though (as in you find some other GP more interesting) I'd encourage you to go for it.

I'll TG some potential joinants (i.e. Mish, G-Tech) and see if they might be interested in taking some GP up.
edit: @Calt pls those posts are ment 2b july or early earle auguste not septembre

Why, I cba to date them back, it means I have to edit the whole mindset of the thing and shit.

Basically, pertaining to the NGC.

They are allied to the Russians and the Franks. They are forming a Franko-Germanic Bloc at the Berlin Conference in September (which is like soon or now ICly) where the Dual Kingdom of Catalonia and Naples will be joining the bloc and hammering out a treaty of Egypt with the North Germans (Egypt is the NGC's Protectorate, there was a war that we started against Egypt and we sorta occupy all of the Egyptian Libyan lands and the entire coastline to Alexandria still). That's all I can think of off the top of my head pertaining to the NGC.

Hmm, Bohemia seems like a good blocking state...

Ah, alright, thanks. I'll put AA on the roster again then.
edit: everybody, please note that the post I'm about to do is quite backdated. The current date is sometime in late July or early August (not September)

So, no real GPs needed?

Prag. Seriously has everyone forgotten about de Bohmens or is Adel still active?

It's a Polish-dominated Slav union state, so not Ruthenian I guess.

Basically a PLC?

baltics pls no qq

russia will crush you even more than i will

comment: current era's technology are insufficient to extract siberian oil tbh and there's not much demand for it.

Mhm. Literally like 95% of Russia's oil came from the Baku oil fields by like 1905 or some shit, and Russia doesn't control those ITTL.

sauce; Tsarist Russia course in History AS.

So what happened in those 8 new pages?

Hey Calt, you seem like a freedom loving fella, perhaps any support to poor freedom loving Baltic freedom fighters?

Hello. I am here to fuck up a certain Slavic state.

Sorry, but Ruthenia is the Commonwealth's ally. We don't do that backstabbing shit, here.

Hello. I am here to fuck up a certain Slavic state.

Sorry, but Ruthenia is like one of the Commonwealth's only reliable ally.

Oh...
Well I wasn't planning to support you too.
Not that I can, but hey, a man can dream.

Sorry, but Ruthenia is a strong nation, and the Commonwealth needs it to stay strong so that it can fend off the coming German offensive.

If you want, though, the Commonwealth can provide the navy to transport your people to some unclaimed (by Europans) land in Africa which they can use to start a Boer-esque state?

Nah, I'll play like a Mafia Don. I want peace not because I do not want bloodshed, I want peace because I want to earn more money...and to spy on you guys.

Well, then I guess our goals aren't as cordial as I thought. Go have fun drinking tea in your good old Commonwealth.

Also, lolno. I want to do this on the hardest difficulty possible.

Covert operation support maybe? We have a nice warm water port (actually quite a few of them) for you to use if you free us...

If you two want, the Commonwealth could mediate an agreement before it erupts into war and shite.

Also I feel like we should actually make our alliance a thing ICly.

TBH what with Ruthenia being a democracy and all and Lithuania having been part of the country for longer than the country's namesake, I don't think the Baltics are likely to leave- if they do leave, it'll probably be an amicable separation of Livonia instead of a war.

The latter would probably be a good idea.

[Vredlandia]

Getting involved now, duckers! Thanks to Al for reserving NGC for me.

Eyy Vred <3

Meh, I meant like granting the Baltics responsible government under the Ruthenian one and shit, but kay.

Yis. Assuming Bohemia still has a player, I feel like we should make friendermens with them, what with Germany and France seeming to be thinking of cementing an alliance.

We aren't planning a war. We're smarter than that.

For now...

Incidentally, @Finland, FYI Lithuania is a Kingdom within the Empire, not a province. I'm sorry if that wasn't clear.

Yeah, it wasn't really clear. Your app says it has a Prime Minister.
Granted, kingdoms do have prime ministers, but so do non-kingdoms.

[Mishmahig]

I guess I'll attempt a Scandinavia.

Who played it?

Krys, I believe. You will have an Aland crisis to boot.

Anyway, currently the movement will be very passive, more of just a political organization fighting for Baltic cultural rights and shit. Not something very threatening - we might just be a political party. But once a really devastating war comes about...

Such a war has been quite long overdue, it's likely to happen soon.

Europe's Grande Concert has sung it's song for many a decade, yet I fear that the beat of Prussian drums to the sound of French pipes will be it's downfall.

Good, I won't have to wait long.

I fear that the war will not be all that you pray for it to be. The future of Europe will be forged in fire and blood.
