Midnight in Moscow, Mk. III(OOC/Applications) (OPEN)

[Lingria]

Well I can supply you with Sugar, Nickel, Hard Liquor and Rolled Tobacco.

Cool! Can Britain also invest in Cuba?

My bad for missing this
Sure! We could use foreign companies! (American companies everywhere ;-;)
Also if a war breaks out you can station Soldiers or Ships in our harbors to prevent disasters.

@Alsheb: I don't know if you're aware, but the Russian Empire is dead.

And the White Forces aren't fighting for the Tsar or for the Russian Empire or that kind of nonsense; the White Forces are fighting against the bolsheviks.

The White Russians were the successors of the Empire. They unite the most conservative and reactionary parts of Russian society. They may not call themselves the Empire anymore, but for a Socialist such as Sheikh that doesn't really matter.

Would anyone be angry if Columbia had the first Air Craft Carrier?

[Senkaku]

I'm starting to see a very Orwellian future for this IC world...


China, Russia, and Japan form a fascist bloc, controlling much of Asia, while Europe and its colonies go socialist or soft-communist, and Columbia eats the Western hemisphere to turn into Oceania.

This should be good.

I need to update the roster.

Or how about you read the OP? That'd be great, too.

Khmer will into turn Asia into liberal democracy.

I should have reviewed your app more carefully. Khmer is supposed to be a collapsing mess of factions barely held together and about to be carved up by Europe.

Senkaku, Do you mind if I use your application code for another Rp that I'm creating?

No, go ahead.

?
I always read the top post, I read it again as requested but I haven't really noticed anything that I didn't see before. Could you kindly point out what I missed/misunderstood?
Edit: 42 is that what you mean? I had to add 42 or is it something else?

Well, you missed the entire roster and the map. So I have doubts you actually read it.

Because "Myanmar" doesn't exist.

Isn't Kurdistan only mildly socialist?

Would anyone be angry if Columbia had the first Air Craft Carrier?

The 1903 advent of heavier-than-air fixed-wing aircraft was closely followed in 1910 by the first experimental take-off of an airplane, made from the deck of a United States Navy vessel (cruiser USS Birmingham), and the first experimental landings were conducted in 1911. On 9 May 1912 the first airplane take-off from a ship underway was made from the deck of the British Royal Navy's HMS Hibernia. Seaplane tender support ships came next, with the French Foudre of 1911. In September 1914 the Imperial Japanese Navy Wakamiya conducted the world's first successful ship-launched air raid: on 6 September 1914 a Farman aircraft launched by Wakamiya attacked the Austro-Hungarian cruiser Kaiserin Elisabeth and the German gunboat Jaguar in Kiaochow Bay off Tsingtao; neither was hit.
The 'first' Aircraft Carrier was technically American.
The first aircraft carrier that we imagine today was the British HMS Argus (I49). I don't mind the Americans having Aircraft Carriers as every major power in the 1930's had one. However I would limit their uses as they were still experimental

Milder than the Soviets, yes. But more Socialist than it was in the last version of the IC.
Plus, even for a "milder Socialist" such as Sheikh the choice between the Bolsheviks or the Whites isn't exactly a difficult one. Especially if those Whites occupy Armenia.

My plan is to get 120,000 men there, to end the war and begin rebuilding. Then I'm going to invest heavily in Russian markets and move industry here, as well as fund rebuilding

tbh we'd probably comply to strong demands for Armenian independence as we are about to do for the Turks'.

already impossibru

also, people saying Germoney should stay capitalist for balance

china isn't falling apart
the Whites are winning
columbards are actually doing stuff

the socialists are at a massive disadvantage

That's exactly my point. I mean if we look at the traditional Great Powers [+ China]:

Capitalist: Columbia, the UK, Germany, China, Japan, Austria [Hue].
Socialist: France, Italy
Civil War: Russia [Whites be winning, though]

China is apparently going to break off into quasi-fascism, possibily accompanied by Japan and Russia.

Would make an interesting set of 'Axis' powers. If Germany goes commie then it should be 3 v 3 v 3 in terms of GPs which would be fairly interesting.

Considering that Lunas is about to raise nine out of every ten minorities against me in the next few weeks, I doubt that I will be 'winning' for much longer.

Also, I doubt think we're 'winning' (although we're certainly in a better position than we were before the offensive). The Red Army by itself (even without minority or other support) has more men than the White army and the theoretical expeditionary forces all together. And it's not like the Whites lost 20 men and a tachanka in the Trans-Ural and Arkhangelsk Offensives.

Not 120,000?


Think about what other powers are sending (besides Hannover, who I'm going to kneecap if he proceeds with this LSD-fueled fantasy about 75,000 British soldiers going anywhere right now). Japan is close and directly affected and has limited logistical issues, they sent like 20,000 I believe. China has offered to send a lot, but they haven't done anything yet and any soldiers they did send might not even make it to the front (and if they did they'd be useless as fuck, probably). Britain should probably be capped at 5-10,000, because of logistical issues and public war weariness. You have even bigger logistical issues, so I'd say maybe 10,000 men. They'd probably have to be sent to Vladivostok rather than Archangelsk as well because of increased issues with feeding them, clothing them, etc. Vladivostok will just be easier.

Yes, and yet Columbard and other foreign support is essentially dooming not just the Reds in Russia but in France as well.

I'm completely for Germany becoming communist, don't mistake me.

Just not while the Russian Civil War rages on because muh german expeditionary force
