But of course. And, after all, nobody's forgotten the Charcan Goat, or even the Mirkan Army.

There's none left to do though Suez is build, Panama is built... the sad truth is that there's no more continents to split. D:

SPLIT ASIA

HIMALAYAN CANAL

Thai Canal maybe?

Did they?

They will rather. Brazil is hiring the Pinkerton force to send raids disguised as rebels to New Lorraine.

Yeah, this is why I think I'll not pick New Lorraine.
I'm thinking of a revolution in the MCA turning it back into a republic. Thoughts?

[Mishmahig]

Hrm.

I'd rather that they fall in love, the dowager Empress forbidding the marriage in favor of the German prince, Princess Christine leading a palace coup to depose the dowager Empress and allow her coronation on her own terms.

Then she realizes that a marriage with the Mongol prince is not what her nation needs, so she either bids him farewell or keeps him on as a not-so-secret consort until she can find a suitable husband. Then she puts her hair up in a bun, dons sensible but scandalous trousers, hops on a horse, and leads the nation to war.

Lmao that'd be hilarious

You just made my day Mish

It shall happen! All hail Empress Christine II, Scourge of Finland, Savior of Slesvig-Holstein, Vanquisher of the Hunnic Hordes, Wearer of Scandalous Trousers, Possessor of the Hair Bun of Butt-Kicking! All hail!

I just read this, and cannot tell for the life of me where it's from (though Mulan is a primary suspect)

"I would rather be a beggar and single than a queen and married."

"I know I have the body of a weak and feeble woman, but I have the heart and stomach of a king, and of a king of England too."

"Though the sex to which I belong is considered weak you will nevertheless find me a rock that bends to no wind."

"I have the heart of a man, not a woman, and I am not afraid of anything."

--Queen Elizabeth I, Butt-kicker Extraordinaire

Previous me is offended.

Just for you, I'll build the Aavasaksa Bridge, so you can get over it, heheheheheh. The joke is too good. <3

And so I can move troops into Finland easily. Time to go hunt for Ruthenian support...

[Bujahla]

Oh you can hire the CC to do it btw. They have an agency with men in Colombia.

Oh nice. That works much better considering that Pinkerton was an American company and, well, the US does not exist in this AH. Should I send you a letter or can I just write that I hire your company's services?

Who founded Pinkerton?

Allan Pinkerton

Write you hired.

I'll split Europe, Riga/Warsaw/Genoa Canal.
IT'S ABSOLUTELY GENIUS

Rio - La Paz - Lima.

Technically Panama only splits North America. And you could also build a McMurdo - Amundsen-Scott - Sanae IV, splitting Antarctica.

[Kryskov]

kk thnx

guns for cotton?

Well, big guns for cotton. If you could invest in our small arms industry, and gib resource, then that'd make us a little less dependent on foreign arms.

These do not split continents but are still possibilities:

Is that your RL name?
If so, why not make them a royal house that's married in, or some other non-royal prominent?

My last name is Blair, Actually.

Alright, cool. Am I free to decide the number of people used or is there a limit?

Sounds pretty cool. A pity it wasn't built yet.

I agree.

Another canal is this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canal_du_Midi#Introduction

It would be interesting to see if there is a serious expansion and improvement of the canal to allow bigger cargo ships in and out. That would surely change the geopolitics in the Mediterranean.

There's also another canal idea, one that splits Mexico in half. I don't remember the name but it has a wikipedia page and all :b

Oh yea, that too. I think it is this one: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isthmus_of ... epec_Route

There might be another one though

[Aldelxane]

All these canals sound great, but do/did countries in 1881 have the technology to build canals that long?
