1810 Age of Imperialism, Empires and Expansion OOC [OPEN]

[Hothnia]

So anyone wanna team up on the Kebab? I wanna take Turkey or at least the Northern and Western parts and Iraq.

Britain is going there and taking the Nile River Delta, Alexandria, and Sinai for the sake of "spreading Christianity".

Doesn't sound very British, but okay.

I would, but I wanna puppet the Armenians.

But that’s my land.... I reserved Russian Empire lands and that’s apart of it.

[Nuverikstan]

But that’s my land.... I reserved Russian Empire lands and that’s apart of it.

There are Armenians in Turkey too, you know. Those are the ones I want to puppet.

[Chewion]

Yeah. My thing is I want control of the Bosporus Straight and at least Northern Turkey plus Iraq and maybe Syria too.

[Nuverikstan]

Yeah. My thing is I want control of the Bosporus Straight and at least Northern Turkey plus Iraq and maybe Syria too.

Haha, funny. Bosporus is mine sir. I'm going to reunite Greece with Constantinople.

[Chewion]

Yeah. My thing is I want control of the Bosporus Straight and at least Northern Turkey plus Iraq and maybe Syria too.

Haha, funny. Bosporus is mine sir. I'm going to reunite Greece with Constantinople.

Russia might suck but I think I’d still beat you. I just want control of the straight. The land not on the Straight I have no care fore really. You can have Constantinople.

[Nuverikstan]

Haha, funny. Bosporus is mine sir. I'm going to reunite Greece with Constantinople.

Russia might suck but I think I’d still beat you. I just want control of the straight. The land not on the Straight I have no care fore really. You can have Constantinople.

Fine, we split the straight? West side goes to Greece, east goes to you?

That works. And then I’ll take along the Northern coast and Eastern Turkey and Greece gets Constantinople and the rest of the East not along the coast. But I also definitely want me some Iraq and Syria. Much oil. Much Warm water ports.

This sounds good to me. Considering that I have no plans for either Iraq or Syria, you go for it. However, Britain may fight you for it.

[The Williams Empire]

Nation name: United States of Italy

National Ideology: Ultranationalist

Nation's Leader(s): Trey Williams

National Government Type: Benevolent Dictatorship

National history: As Napoleon's reign began to fail, other national monarchs he had installed tried to keep their thrones by feeding those nationalistic sentiments, setting the stage for the revolutions to come. Among these monarchs were the viceroy of Italy, Eugène de Beauharnais, who tried to get Austrian approval for his succession to the Kingdom of Italy, and Trey Williams, who called for Italian patriots' help for the unification of Italy under his rule. This lead to the Italian Civil War which ended with a military victory for the government but a political and social victory for the nationalist. This caused the "Government Reformation" and after two years of protests and internal conflicts within the government, Trey Williams was elected to lead the new nationalist Italy.

Everything is good, except your infantry's guns. Besides the fact that rifles are not used on a large scale yet, the minie ball hasn't been invented yet. If you want a small group of your infantry to use a period rifle, that would be fine. But in general, they will need to use some kind of musket. Otherwise, accepted!

[Da Klan]

Nation name: The Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth

National Ideology: Christian nationalist constitutional monarchy.

Nation's Leader(s): King of Poland and Grand Duke of Lithuania Hugo Cyrus, first of his name.

National Government Type: Constitutional monarchy

National history: Following the Battle of Vienna in 1683, the Polish Lithuanian Commonwealth dedicated itself to ensuring the security of Christendom in Europe from foreign aggressors. Viewing the Ottomans as a threat, the Polish focused more on their military and industries, realizing that the Muslims had the ability to strike at any moment. The moment to test their dedication to European Christendom came during the Hungarian invasion of Bosnia and Serbia. Seeing their fellow Christian allies in need, the Polish Lithuanian Commonwealth helped free those regions. However, many had agreed that this was not enough. Following the liberation of Bosnia and Serbia, the King declared the Islamic nations to be "the roadblock on the road of Christian prosperity", and launched an invasion into the Crimean Khanate, severely weakening the Ottomans in the Black Sea. During the late 1740s, the Polish Lithuanian Commonwealth experienced levels of disunity and small scale revolts, which led to the Krakow Accords of 1748. The Krakow Accords increased Polish nationalism as well as promoted Polish hegemony. The law was heavily enforced up until the late 1700s, as it seemed that the population was naturally drifting towards Polish culture. Polish -Lithuania is interested in gaining some colonies, and it is common to see Polish missionaries in Africa, South, and East Asia.

Language: Polish, Lithuanian, and Latin. Polish is spoken by everyone in the country, with Latin being a language of the courts, and Lithuanian a recognized minority language.

National Religion: Catholicism

National Race/Culture/Identity: Polish identity is strong, with the minorities assimilating well and with schools mandating that all students must learn and speak only Polish.

I feel like I need to add something for some reason....

[Allkoff]

Yay Polands app is in!

[Hothnia]

Fine, we split the straight? West side goes to Greece, east goes to you?

That works. And then I’ll take along the Northern coast and Eastern Turkey and Greece gets Constantinople and the rest of the East not along the coast. But I also definitely want me some Iraq and Syria. Much oil. Much Warm water ports.

That's right. I'll fight you for it. I'd like my war gains to be all of Eastern Egypt, all the way to Alexandria, the Sinai Peninsula, Jordan, and Western Iraq. I have no feelings for Syria.

Britain has zero reason to want it.... I’m even leaving Israel and Jordan opened.
