The Bonaparte Absence (AH RP/Reboot/OOC)

[The Greater Dutch Republic]

Arvenia, you do realize that the word fracker wasn't used as a prejorative until the 1960s, right?

He doesn't. Arvenia doesn't give a damn about history. He posts based on his own wacky ideas. Like having a black-dominated white-enslaving island empire that for some reason intentionally pokes world powers with a stick and expects nothing had to happen. AND in 1836, for that matter.

Military Size:
-Army:
3 regiments of grenadiers
15 line regiments (8 reserve)
3 light infantry regiments
3 light cavalry regiments
-Navy:
None
-Elite Forces:
2 regiments of Saxon Jaegers
Military Description: (ie, quality of equipment, doctrine, etc.)
Saxony has a rich military and cultural history, and so it weathered the storms of revolution and battle, though not without some harsh lessons. Its position in the middle of Germany between expansionist Bavaria, militarily powerful Prussia, and the mighty Austrian Empire, has led its leaders to focus more on defense, using various natural formations and heavily armed defenses to keep safe the Saxon heartlands.

The Saxon military has remained up to date, and it is well-drilled, well-trained, and well-led, but the small Saxon population has made it hard for them to maintain a large army without sacrificing their economy.
Strengths and Weaknesses: (What is your military good at, and what is it bad at?)
Strengths:
Well-trained
Disciplined
Strong Defensive strategies

Weaknesses:
Low population
Limited offensive capabilities

Short Description of Your Nation's Economy:
Saxony relies on local production and trade to maintain the growth of the state.
Short Description of Your Nation's Government:
The Government is run like its compatriots with an absolute ruler and a Cabinet of Ministers.
Short History of the last 40 years:
Prussia's withdrawal into isolationism opened a vacuum which the Saxons attempted to fill. This led to their expansion into the smaller states of the Holy Roman Empire, in an effort to help secure themselves. This spurred growth in the Saxon heartlands and has helped maintain Dresden as a center of learning and culture in central Germany, as well as made Saxony into one of the most powerful German states.
Population of entire empire: 4,500,000

I think someone reserved Saxony and you are claiming too much land. You may also want to wait to make a map as I am Hanover and my territory has yet to be represented (Accepted a few days ago & you claimed parts of my south)

I think someone reserved Saxony and you are claiming too much land. You may also want to wait to make a map as I am Hanover and my territory has yet to be represented (Accepted a few days ago & you claimed parts of my south)

I was told yesterday that Saxony was open. I will change my land claim though, once the map is updated. How about we be friends, if I can get this accepted. It's a dangerous world out there, with all those Bavarians and Prussians and whatnot.

Hmm....if you help me take out Denmark, I'll invite you to the Free Germanic Congress and the rest

Map is updated. Also, what sort of help do you need? I can send some men, perhaps, but I need to keep prepared.

Austria, I would love to be friends with you, As the warmongering Bavarians seem intent on attacking our fellow states.

[Auchterland]

I'm thinking about applying as either Sardinia or Genoa and would like to hear suggestions. Also, what's up with Milan and Parma? It's not marked as ruled by Austria in the map, although I thought it would be.

[Gadrana-Eshil]

I'm going to be attacking Haiti in a bit ^_^ I just need to finish writing this post. I've been working on it for a few days x3 Little by little.

[The Greater Dutch Republic]

Grothmovia, I'm joining the Free Germanic Congress. Austria wants your land, too. You're better off joining Hanover and myself in the FGC than that crumbling mess of a nation called the HRE.

Hmm.... I suppose I should hedge my bets. This is still a Congress we're talking about, right? I won't become a vassal/protectorate of some larger nation, correct?

Correct - every nation gets a vote in decisions and you, Prussia, and I would get veto power

[Democratic Peoples republic of Kelvinsi]

I am invading Wurttemberg, two posts from now.

[The Greater Dutch Republic]

Yeah, Grothmogia, it's like the UN, but more centralized. The three of us would be like the Security Council, with the power to veto decisions made by lower nations, AKA every other state in the Congress. It would be a military and economic alliance as well, and although it's not settled, I'd like for common military exercises and cooperation in war, and the elimination of trade tariffs between our nations.
@Kelvinsi, I'm inviting Württemburg and Baden to the Free Germanic Congress. So, you invade them, you invade us. I INVITE you to try.

Excellent. I am sure the Saxon people would welcome the opening of additional markets, and my military wouldn't mind some support against those who would seek to tear apart their nation.

[Gadrana-Eshil]

Can someone update the map with new land belonging to the Portuguese added in Mozambique, Angola, Guinea Bissau, Mauritania, & Madagascar?

When are you going to make this post?

[Gadrana-Eshil]

I hope that there is going to be a sequel to this, and that it continues well into modern times ^_^ We should do a time skip, whenever it starts to stagnate, if it does stagnate.

[Democratic Peoples republic of Kelvinsi]

How does time progression work?

[Gadrana-Eshil]

How does time progression work?

I keep on asking that, but no one ever answers >_> It's super important to the development of my nation, and economy x3

[Gadrana-Eshil]

I have 11 sections left to complete for my next post, and I'm completing 2-3 a day :c

[Federal States of Xathuecia]

Okay so @Prussia and @Saxony - should the Congress be something discussed at the meeting or should the meeting should be the finalizer of it?

[The Greater Dutch Republic]

No time. If we wait to discuss it, it could be too late. We've already discussed I in OOC, so just quickly sum up the meeting and say everyone signed it and announce the creation. Württemburg and Baden are there as well, so don't forget them.

I'll same some amendments were made and I'll write up the Charter (expect it later today around 7:00 PM EST)

It's becoming so hard to write my post, I'm beginning to think Ragusa was a poor choice.

Especially since I'm basically just reverting changes I made in my app...

[Federal States of Xathuecia]

Mr. OP, could you update the map when you get the chance?

If I decide on re-apping, what should I play?
