The Dogs of War [OOC|Open]

[Elepis]

Belgium is literally just Flanders.

I think Ethiopia is taken by the Italy player, however there was some disagreement over his colonies so it may yet be open. Belgium is very open though

Thanks, Elepis. I think I'll set up Belgium's app tomorrow.

If France has Wallonia, how about Netherlands plus Flanders?

Japan, Columbia and the UK could form the Grand Undecided Who To Back Alliance and have everyone beg for our help.

That would be interesting.

You know I like the idea of establishing the Siberian Territory...

Ethnicity: Many. English, Scottish, Irish, Welsh, Many, many native ethnicities

Brief Description of your Economy: The UK's economy is one of the largest in the world, with a powerful industrial base in the home islands fed by raw materials from the Dominions, and the largest single merchant fleet of any nation.
Goals:
-Keep the UK as far away from *look of disgust* Continental affairs.
-Give anyone who tries to take our colonies a damn good hiding.
-Drink all the tea
History: History diverges in late 1909, where rather than returning to Egypt, Kitchener returns to London. He arrived in the wake of the 1910 General Election, which left a weak Liberal-Irish Nationalist coalition in charge of the country.

Kitchener joined the Liberal Party, and successfully ousted H.H Asquith in a leadership election with the backing of Lloyd George and Winston Churchill (the so-called Liberal Triumvirate) before winning the election on a platform of Irish Home Rule along the lines of the Dominions and the reduction in power of the House of Lords led to a narrow Liberal majority.

The Irish Home Rule Act was passed in 1912, shortly after the 1911 Parliament Act, before the Kitchener Doctrine was introduced in 1913, stating that 'the Royal Navy must be able to simultaneously engage and defeat the strongest naval powers on every continent' and that the British Army's purpose was 'the defence of the Empire on land, with the navy as our main implement of power projection'.

Military Info
Army:
Imperial Japanese Army: 1,200,000. Well equipped, well trained, well led and well motivated. Almost without a doubt the most effective land army in Asia. It is a veteran three major international conflicts, the Sino-Japanese War, the Boxer Rebellion and Russo-Japanese War. In all three of these conflicts (apart from perhaps the Boxers) the IJA/IJN took on and defeated much larger countries, China and Russia respectively.
Navy:
Imperial Japanese Navy (Like the Army, it is modeled on European forces and is the largest and most effective in Asia, winning stunning victories in both the Sin-Japanese war and the Russo-Japanese War, most notably at Tushima):
-Dreadnoughts: 6
-Pre-dreadnought battleships: 18
-Armoured cruisers: 12
-Protected cruisers: 24
-Light/scout cruisers: 3
-Destroyers: 50
-Submarines: 27
-30 Torpedo boats

Other Info
Brief Description of your Economy: Japan emerged from the Tokugawa-Meiji transition as the first Asian industrialized nation. From the onset, the Meiji rulers embraced the concept of a market economy and adopted British and North American forms of free enterprise capitalism. Rapid growth and structural change characterized Japan's two periods of economic development after 1868. Initially, the economy grew only moderately and relied heavily on traditional Japanese agriculture to finance modern industrial infrastructure. By the time the Russo-Japanese War began in 1904, 65% of employment and 38% of the gross domestic product (GDP) were still based on agriculture, but modern industry had begun to expand substantially. Know, manufacturing and mining amounted to 34% of GDP, compared with 20% for all of agriculture. Transportation and communications developed to sustain heavy industrial development.

From 1894, Japan built an extensive empire that included Taiwan, Korea, and parts of northern China. The Japanese regarded this sphere of influence as a political and economic necessity, which prevented foreign states from strangling Japan by blocking its access to raw materials and crucial sea-lanes. Japan's large military force was regarded as essential to the empire's defense and prosperity by obtaining natural resources that the Japanese islands lacked.
Goals:
Build good relations with Britain and America, get stable relations with Russia
Acquire Resources
Halt Chinese "modernization"
Keep China fractured and weak
Acquire Manchuria
Become arbiter of the East Pacific
History:
really the same as RL Japan, however, after the Sino-Japanese War, Japan demands slightly larger reparations from China. These amount to control over the cities of Suzhou near Shanghai and ports on the Shandong and Dailan peninsulas. After the Boxer Rebellion, Japan refuses to withdraw its troops from Beijing until China sign over the entirety of Shandong and Dailan over to the Empire.

Military numbers were educated guesses (from others Apps and later wars), history is a bit small but there are only really two changes.

They don't have Flanders per say so you might want to add it to your app (along with the Belgian Congo perhaps?)

I meant the peninsular itself, not the province.

[The Kingdom of Glitter]

I am going to do us a favor and add the USC, UK, Hungary, and Brazil to the map since I know the claims are okayed and there are no conflicts.

Mind you, I knew nothing of how to map Brazil on the Vicky Map so it may be slightly incorrect across some borders.
