Blood and Iron [OOC/ALT-HISTORY/OPEN/REBOOT]

[Newne Carriebean7]

they eventually moved back into the house when the other 10 friends he was hanging out with all tried tobacco and got dragged back by uncle sam into the house.

And momma Mexico decides to get chummy with either Texas's twin brother/new squeez, California.

Speaking of, I'm wondering if Salvador should demonstrate how energetically danger-seeking he is..

By jumping the border and spending a few days incognito in California, with his brother.

and Texas then gets his guns out and blows the heck out of Mexico who is cheating on California with the United Kingdom.

Wait...how did you know my plan to hitch Salvador with a Catholic Dutch Duchess?

That sounds like fun.

Also, behold: the two prizes of the Red Star Line, California's premier shipping company: the sister ships CRS Golden Republic, and CRS Grizzly, where CRS stands for "California Republic Steamer".

Also, where does one find Catholic Dutch, much less a Catholic member of the nobility in either Benelux or Great Britain? Ireland, maybe.

...My Dutch grandmum's Catholic, and Belgium has a high Catholic majority. Also, Irishwomen are bomb.

Meanwhile, California's that one kid who is trying to be friends with everyone by being friends with no one, and at the same time trying to live in the same house as her Mormon cousin and the Navajo guy who was living there when they moved in.

Mexico's still probably floating around in the background, being like "Be friends plz?"

Yes, but Cali's forcing it to be platonic. Navajo only talks to other Native American guys, and Deseret is sort of impossible to figure out.

All right, I'm cool with that.

I may try to fund some crazy Mormons with guns if they would want to take up arms agaisnt the state, i'd just need to swap out the labels to say "made in Mexico" and then point the blame at the taco eaters... if that fails, there's always conquest.

I have the first and only Presidential debate complete, now I just need to figure out how to get 200 pounds of butter up the Mississippi river to be turned into presidential campaign buttons,suggestions?

nope, butter. we're going to try to sell that to either tribes, or just use it as a Delicious weapon when we bombard the native tribes with it!
also, I'm having a bit of a brain fart, what else could the Louisianans do to attack me?

Yey. First shipment of copper's free.

[Auchterland]

Then there is Brazil who seems to be Mexico's old crush that it has forgotten about. D:
hi, I'm still here.
I'm going to post stuff... soon-ish? I think.

Thank's we'll make bullets to take over Hispanola and Puerto Rico. You'll get some sugar and tobacco.

Texas's views on
Texas: WE LOVE OURSELVES
Georgia: we can work something out, you give us Louisiana, I promise you Arkans-wait what, you don't want it? more for me!

[The Valyria Empire]

Byzantium is not the HRE on stereoids. Everyone knows that the Holy Roman Empire was neither Holy, nor Roman, nor an Empire.

Thank you Voltaire.

[Holoska]

That was...an...interesting debate.

[Kerbodine]

Superior: not very superior, are we?

Woaaaah there buddy, I might take that personally ;D

[Kerbodine]

Hell, I was planning on doing this anyway, but a tad more boring:

Superior's Official Views On:
Texas: They're... Texas. Remind us why we have a border again? Keep buyin' our steel.
Georgia: They're... Georgia. Weird Latin cult. They stay to themselves, can't blame 'em.
Canada: Northern neighbors, think we're on reasonable terms. Competitors in the lumber industry.
California: Competitors in terms of copper, but hell, if they keep buying our steel, can't complain.
Japan: We have had minimal interactions with Asia, and most of our impressions are leftover from the United States.
China: See Japan.
Russia: Seems nice enough to me.
Superior: MITTELLAND ÜBER ALLES!
Anglo-Dutch: We rely on them for international trade (they control our route to the ocean); though competitors economically, I think we can stay friends.
Brazil: Minimal interaction.
Polynesia: Aren't those the little Pacific islands??
Germany: Unsere Brüder. Das Vaterland. We ought to build diplomatic relations. Our embassies should be expanded.
France: Socialism is contrary to our individualist and conservative beliefs.
Iberia: Hey, our steel is cheap.
Mughals: Hey, our steel is cheap.
Maurania: Hey, our steel is a steal. (Heh.)
New England: Unfriendly and destabilized socialists to our East.
Byzantium: Come out of the Dark Ages (and buy our steel).
Ethiopia: An interesting little country that we'll be keeping a close eye on.
Mexico: A threat a ways away from us... Should keep the Texans in check, which is a good thing.

[Auchterland]

Brazil: country that speaks weird langauge

Just as a reminder, in this timeline we speak dutch.

Mexico's official views of the world (thus far...)

Texas: The land of stereotypical gringos, we don't mess with them, they don't mess with us. We just spend most of our days glaring daggers at each other on our respective sides of the Rio Grande
Georgia: I've had it up to here with these motherfucking creepy cultist pirates, raiding my motherfucking convoys en route to Europe!
Canada: Where our trees come from. That's it. Not much formal relations.
California: The trustworthy gringos, good pals. They want to be neutral due to economic reasons, and I respect that.
Japan: I think they're doing okay...but not much news floats this far south from the Orient.
China: See Japan
Russia: Last I heard, they were in Alaska, or were they in...? Anyway, not much is known about them.
Superior: I BUY MOST OF MY STEEL FROM YOU ANYWAY! NO! MEXICO WILL NOT RELY UPON YOU! STAHP!
Ango-Dutch: Pretty okay, we trade with them. Maybe bros if Salvador marries into their families?
Brazil: Our estranged bro in the south, I'll get to you later.
Polynesia: Wait...why are those islands important?
Germany: Our old ruler comes from that neck of the woods. They're pretty nice...
France: Nothing good ever comes from France...
Iberia: Love hate relationship. We're of Spanish descent, but we wish for the independence of all entities west of the Atlantic.
Mughals: Oh, the Hindustanis? I guess they're okay, we compare Spices every blue moon.
Mauritania: Sandy senile old men who think the crusaders are going on. I think they're Coptic...?
New England: *Disappointed Sigh*
