With Fire and Steel - AH RP (OOC/OPEN)

[Caltarania]

I doubt the ability of Korea to mobilize a 2 million strong army without literally destroying their nation.

Korea+Japan.

I am aware; I still doubt the ability of it to mobilize an army as large as China's.

[Aden Protectorate]

confucianism doesn't mix with a modern military

or being relevant : ))))

Have you heard of the Imperial Acquisition Exams? Or the early Ming Dynasty?

lulz

Both are archaic institutions unable to modernize to be relevant in the 18th century.

[Kisinger]

I think we can conclude that.

Sweden get's Western Pomerania, Wismar, and the Prince-Bishoprics of Bremen and Verden, as well as East Luxembourg

France get's the city of Pignerol, West Luxembourg, and the Bishopric of Metz.

England for applying within 28 days a golden clock.

And that Korea is entirely irrelevant....

Vamos a ver.

The temptation to fight Mughal decline is strong.

[Sabara]

Both are archaic institutions unable to modernize to be relevant in the 18th century.

Archaic institutions that facilitated the most powerful empire on earth for an upwards of five centuries? I highly doubt that. Europe only began to pull ahead of East Asia in terms of technology around the late 17th century; using Chinese stuff. We'll see who's more adaptive.

They were still highly relevant, seeing as how a majority of the worlds population was governed by some form of that kind of government.
