Dunno. People are free to steal it if they want though.

Do so. There isn't many good historical rps around.

School is starting in about a week for me though, and I'm not even sure if I could run NI2 with that sort of schedule (in large part because I've forgotten precisely how busy school leaves me ) With a constructed world of this level of detail, in any case, would probably annoy people no end, others because stuff they want to do keeps getting denied by the AH's reality, and me because I have to constantly police for that. I think it might be better staying as an idea, unless ways around that are found.

Inheritance would have been bork'd by other nobles not wanting [insert inheriting family here] to become more powerful and the existence of the Dutch/Italian republics, and also the Papacy and perfidious Albion.

Idk whats going on but I wanna be Japan xD.

Hmm... I've got many ideas floating around currently, one of which is Napoleon not dying of stomach cancer in 1921 and the plan to spring him to South America to start revolutionary wars there succeeding. What does this thread think of the possibility of him potentially creating a great power in South America? He might receive foreign support but I'm not yet sure exactly from whom.

He'd probably die in the 1840s, I'm thinking.

Paraguay had a Napoleon-like leader, in the sense of one emphasising self-sufficiency and centralisation.

Didn't really end well, tho.

I see.

The idea is for them to stage a coup in one of the ex-colonies in the instability following independence, sometime quite soon after arriving; that would give Napoleon a good foothold and also the soldiers he needs to start the wars.

Welp, I'm going to develop this a little more in-depth.

I don't think the Creoles would take kindly to being lead by a Frenchman.

They would follow him in the name of our Lord and Saviour, though.

There is potential for something like that, I suppose. Or at least, I could see him using that when he needs them to follow him initially - the ex-colonies are all very Catholic, after all.

So your going to try and eat east and Southeast Asia in the name of the emperor?

That did happen, but they overcame it. Aviz tried to stronkoff, it failed, while England was having stupid War of the Roses, Germany was too disunited, Habsburg were busy fighting Ottomans for their very existence. Dutch republics never existed due to strong Burgundy (not strong enough to beat France though) and the Italian republics pulled Italian Wars shit which made them easy prey. Papacy was weak in a way lucky for the Bayonne, and Englandies was continuously weak due to Ireland, Roses, Civil War and colony shit. Well, weak compared to Franco-Spain. Its colonies made it rich, but no number of colonies can give you enough manpower to beat the BBB.

This has the potential to turn into a shitfest. Not saying it will, but troubling potential exists...

"Completely pulling out of Iraq"- are you thinking of the same U.S. that I'm thinking of?
Edit: IMO the U.S. under Hillary Clinton pulling out of Iraq and letting ISIS win is implausible, given her position on the matter.

Hillary is known for being a lot more "blue dog" when it comes to foreign policy, so the chances of that are slim (as Adel has pointed out).

Now, I hate this woman more than anything but, perhaps have Elizabeth Warren win. The Democrats, for some reason, have already launched a campaign to get her to run for president, and if she won she would perhaps be the one willing to pull out if Iraq, given her stereotypical blue stances on things.

Desire to eliminate ISIS seems to be pretty ubiquitous.

Oh wait, I forgot that since Obama started the fight against ISIS the Democrats are okay with something they used to oppose.

That, and that public opinion is very, very, VERY against ISIS, and it's most likely political suicide on the part of any political leader to abandon Iraq at this point.
Edit: And probably will remain so for the foreseeable future.

ISIS has managed to piss so many people off it's almost funny.

But that is what is so sad, the parties don't actually stick to their beliefs anymore, just what is going to get them the most votes or most donations. Sort of a shame really.

Granted, when the voters support something, the elected officials probably should as well. But it would be nice if that applied to more than just terrorism.

I think that in a republic, it's more important that the electorate gets its way then that elected officials tow the party line. However, I think it'd be nice if donations didn't sway politicians do much... It would be nice IMO if that changeable attitude in politicians applied to more than terrorism, in many cases.
