Earth: Empire (FT, v2.0)

[Of The Arch ilands]

@Nicky

Interested in forming a Joint Mission to go see the Empress in Battered Dragon? Hong Kong is only a 60 kilo drive up from Macau and Portugal and England are ancient allies.

America will be attending this also (Been talking to Ming and i want to use it to open Trade agreements with China) so expect America to be putting there 2 cents worth into this meeting As America and portugal are essentially unoffical allies at this point and America would like to improve relations with britain lol i think this would be a good idea. (Britian may even get a better deal on the trade agreement we made.)

[Saudi States]

Replied Byzantium. I will soon be finished with my internal conquest and begin to move around the Peninsula.

Also England, we need to discuss the disputed territories in my Southern lands.

[Tristaniano]

An IRC?

[Xin Ming]

I would be careful throwing 'Cousin' around like that, OMG. The Chinese take Family VERY seriously.

As if the Chinese actually matter besides being used as opium importers.

Ziiiiiiiiing.

[Azaranthia]

It's a term of respect, XM. The monarchs/rulers in EE call each other cousin as an idea of that we're family, equal to each other. He is being respectful when he says that. Course, if this is still against some social more in China, then continue on by all means.

[Great Solar Japan]

I'm a little lost as to what to do on the Reaper thread, since my whole plan was for the Japanese to blindly attack the Roman 'invaders' without even realising the Rethast threat existed until the last minute. But first of all, the Romans were actually nice to Japan, and now they're leaving, so I don't see what I'm supposed to do next. You can disregard my previous posts; I'm just going to pull out of the thread.

[Empire Netherlands]

I leave for a day and suddenly there are 3 pages of posts.....

Switz

Don't forget the Netherlands as a trading nation (sucks that I don't still have the stock market but ok) If you need something shipped or built you can go to the Netherlands (seeing as the airspace over Mercury is full of Shipyards).

Saudi Arabia

Just confirming that you remember my troops I am letting you use. Also please don't join Britain or Russia, join the Netherlands and the Cytherian alliance well look after you

Persia

If you want I can send you some assistance to help you secure your country like I am to Saudi Arabia. Of course you could just see me as a third power trying to cut Peria up (I am not admitting to anything )

Nations in Eden.

I haven't really been able to look at the thread because my internet keeps getting screwed over when I look at Manifest Destiny so I would like to know if anyone has messed with my moon and mining asteroids.

Cool, will do

[Tristaniano]

Well, monetary support would be greatly appreciated by the Shah...Not actual Dutch in his country.

It would be considered a disrespect even if it wasn't meant as one; I'm going on archetypes and history; not trying to throw a wrench in everything that OMG does. ;D

The Chinese would understandably be offended, even if no ill will is meant, and indeed it is meant as a compliment. They do indeed take family very seriously, as it was their base model for civilisation. Although I have no idea how they maintain their differances with all the Lee's and the Lings and other monosyllabic names.

Indeed! and highly agreed @ maintaining differences

Nicky sees the Chinese empress as wanting to be treated as an equal, therefore addressing her as 'cousin' is a way of treating her as an equal. Given that the term 'my lady' is actually rather insulting when addressed to a social equal in higher circles, and 'empress' is rather impersonal.
It's basically the only way for royalty to talk to each other short of calling each other by nick-names >_>
Tempting to start calling the Chinese Empress Xiaoy. <_<

[Persia1090]

Hey OMG, you probably accidentally looked over my post but I asked if you would rather have a thread or a letter between Persia and Russia. The Shah wants Russia's help but...it also wants Russia out of Persia.

[OMGeverynameistaken]

I'll reply in a bit. Like I said, I can't be on for long enough to write posts very often.

Either way, good luck getting the Russians out of Persia while the Brits are still there.

[Persia1090]

Oh no. I haven't posted the thread yet, I was wondering which you would prefer, a letter or a meeting between diplomats.

[Saudi States]

Yeah Dutch, I confirm I have your troops. I've got yours, Savoys, and a British officer in my Foreign Legion, soon to be complemented with Byzantine troops.

Edit: UK, I dunno if you didn't notice it before but we should start a diplomacy thread to discuss our disputed territory (At least I think it is)

[Tristaniano]

I want to negotiate with both Britain and Russia to get them off of Persia lands.

I know it doesn't follow the previous borders perfectly or have labels, and I still have to get around to dividing up India. That said, this map does have a higher resolution and could be used to better determine who controls what.

[EE Texas]

Praise Jebus, my state looks like itself again. That's really sweet, Bavin.

While FSA is working on finishing his Texaspost, would anyone like to run a thread concerning how Texas has supplied itself with weapons? This could be anything from European nations (looking at you, Cythereans) clandestinely shipping guns into the state in an effort to tip the balance against America (or prolong the conflict for its own sake), to criminal groups supplying stolen rifles and other equipment for cold, hard cash.

While it is higher resolution, and I don't mean to be rude here or anything, it's also wrong.

Yeah I know.

Whenever I get some free time, I'll start refining it.

[EE Texas]

Yeah, seriously. I mean, it says Texas is part of the FS. What's that about, dude?

<_< Tbtechnical. I should be putting "Your Superior" in every single letter.

[Gratislavia]

OMG: In an effort to bring my own creativity to E.E. and out of personal desires i would like to seek your approval upon matters of renaming the Magyar empire the Greater Germanic Empire of Austria, also i am probably going to make a puppet
