I don't think so; historical TWI nations.

The Imperialist Powers VS. everyone else.

Historically I can support both sides

My country is based very loosely off a former British colony and would probably still be a colony at this point. Does anyone here want to colonize me? You don't have to be British.

When Dibeg was here.

Look foward to seeing it

How about we play this out kinda like WW2, where they win a lot of early victories, but then deteriorate through continued bombing and manpower shortage and through a 3 different front war. Like they get too land hungry?

Basically my plan.

Stage 1: Unrighteous Indignation
http://i.imgur.com/5Wi2N6Y.png

Havenburgh begins to seize small islands around it, and annexes the small cluster of islands north west of them.

Linaviar, fearful of the new conquests and the The United Empire party's rhetoric, declares that they will not tolerate any more annexations.

Havenburgh invades Linaviar, remving the threat to their expansion. Linaviar's military fights back, but they are driven back to the capital, and the government surrenders. The army of Linaviar retreats to their ally Shanowinn.

Meanwhile, Forza (Oglassa), an ally of Havenburgh, annexes and launches a blitz attack down through the island chain south of it. They then sweep west, invading whatever that island is called. Morrowind comes to the rescue of it's allies, but is driven back to the ID.

I just said that the nation was a monarchy.
Also, it was called Forza then.

That seems like a good start, so by the end of the first stage Havenburgh will have Linaviar's land and Oglassa will have all the land up to the ID?
