One paragraph history of your nation: (from 1893 onwards, not required if nothing has changed from RL): After Yerkes and Tesla teamed up, the American economy boomed. The US was producing revolutionary technology; the government started funding businesses and science at tenfold. However, the US made many losses in World War One, when it's defense expenditure went up a lot, and so they couldn't fund tech anymore. Then came the Great Depression. The USA has since been trying desperately, but futilely, to rebuild the booming economy it once was, ignoring Tesla's company completely.
Government Form: Democracy
Army Size: Huge
Army Description: Very advanced tech and weaponry
Navy Size: Big
Air Force: Average
Territory of country: USA, some Caribbean islands

Accepted for now, but I'd like more detail on the Army. How huge what tech do you have etc.

So with my next post I want to address this stolen object, but I also want to do some more. I think it's gonna be militarising but I just don't know.

Sure thing. So stolen things + military.

Yah but then if I militarise, even secretly like what am I gonna do then. Perhaps I'll do a Japanese baseball game and then some people can just talk about stuff, you know what they ink about the state of the world and everything.

Well, there are a lot of things to do. You could do some diplomacy or industrialize parts of China that are backwards.

Or develop some of your statestmen or generals as characters.

I'm planning for my next post to be about what Edison's been creating in his spare time. And his plan. Or, I could make the post about his hitman who's going to steal the weapon from the Scandinavian thugs.

...lots of interesting things happened in the IC, I see. Is an experimental weapon being stolen from one criminal gang to another really that big of an event to react to? Politicians must be getting really bored.

I actually intend on making that artifact something of a running joke in this RP. It's still in the Shanghai International Settlement, so searching for it in Copenhagen is going to be fruitless. Sven and Johanna are very much Shanghai criminals, not government agents. They're not going to bring the evidence of their crime to Scandinavia through three layers of heavy customs.

But now that the owners are dead, sooner or later somebody will steal it from its dead owners. Then somebody else can steal it from them. So it goes.

I'll finish writing it today, hopefully. Then find a few images on the internet to illustrate it. Dieselpunk is a fascinating aesthetic.

But sooner or later somebody should steal it from its current owners. Then somebody else can steal it from them. So it goes.

I think Edison's man killed someone in Scandinavia and everyone thinks that weapon is super important.

It's an American experimental weapon, so I suppose it's up to the US player to say (or not say) that the weapon is super important.

If I'm not too late to the party, I think I might like to join. I intend to try and read back through everything, but can I please get a summary of events?

Nothing of significance really happened in the IC thread so far. The only real event is this mess over Shanghai, where an experimental American weapon got stolen again and for some inexplicable reason everybody thinks it's super important.

We have a lot of big countries still open, so I think you should still be able to join.

Promised military IC post is up.

When it comes to the quality-quantity dichotomy, Scandinavia leans way, waaaaaaaay over on the side of quality. The first true army of the dieselpunk age.

Aerial assault!

You forgot your flag. I believe it's this . And also, in your last line you probably wanted to say "1930 German borders" Accepted.

All fixed

Oh well.

Basically, pre-WW1 Austria, Croatia, and Bosnia.
