1955: The lonely Peace ( Alt, Open, OOC )

[The Imperial Warglorian Empire]

Actually, it's more like he'd be a good liaison if Germany and the Empire ever established ties, since he was one of the only Germans who actually treated the Norwegians decently (not to mention how almost no war crimes occurred during the invasion under his command and little unnecessary brutality happened)

Quote: ".....the military forces commanded by Falkenhorst, which aimed to reach an understanding with the Norwegian people and were under orders by Falkenhorst to treat Norwegians with courtesy"

Unlike many other Germans such as the administrator of Reichskommissariat Norwegen Josef Terboven

Quote: "Terboven behaved in the same petty and ruthless way he did as governor of the Rheinprovinz, and was widely disliked, not only by the Norwegians, but also by many Germans"

However, any Danish and Norwegian Resistance members who filtered into government would not like him: he carried out the Commando Order which suspended the Laws of War protecting those resistance fighters and their allies. If you think it would work, I'm not against establishing relations with Scandinavia, but I merely expect that views held by the population of Falkenhorst are mixed.

Edit: although, I would appreciate opening diplomatic ties with someone, especially as the Civil War dies down and Germany returns to the international stage

Probably, we'll see how that goes

We could potentially supply troops and humanitarian aid to Germany if you require it

Mmm, relations may be a bit tense over Schleswig-Holstein, I imagine that Scandinavia would want that territory, and Germany would not want to become indebted to Scandinavia whilst that claim existed...

Yeah probably, we could negotiate later once things cool down

Not sure if people are waiting for someone to break the second page-barrier, or if interest is dwindling; so I posted. Will edit with message for Scandinavia and Italy, but for the interim i'll put up summaries so that those people can craft responses.

Message to you will ask for resumption of trade relations and the establishment of embassies. It will also ask for you to nominate your preferred person to act as germany's first ambassador to Scandinavia (you said you wanted Falkenhorst so this is your chance to ask for him), the message will probably also ask for the negotiation of a trade agreement

Message to you will ask for the resumption of trade relations and the establishment of embassies. It will also ask for the Italian Army to set up a land blockade on your SS border and ensure no material or people go through the border.

Oh, I missed that. Argentina then.

[Nea Byzantia]

I think my next post will focus more on the situation in Bulgaria...as I've neglected that region. Maybe starting with the Battle near the Rhodope Mts with the Serbian AIC... should be an interesting engagement.

[Nea Byzantia]

I know there's nothing super meta or political to my post, but I was bored, and I wrote it in the spur of the moment, and figured writing about a combat situation would be fun. I apologize for the poor quality. Let me know what you think? And I'm curious to see what Kandic does.

[Greater Liverpool]

Sorry for not posting I have been busy with work and Uni will try to get a post out on Thursday about potential involvement in the Balkans

[Joohan]

It's alright man

Flag:

Economic prosperity on a scale of 1 to 5:4
Agrarian or industrialized state:Mostly Agrarian although starting to industrialize heavily
Role of Women in society :After the monarchist Revolution women were given incredibly increased rights to the point of full primogeniture being implemented into the royal family(If a child is born female and is first born she is the heir regardless of younger male brothers) recently the air force and the army have accepted voluntary work from women.

A general run down of your equipment ( as well as anything of note ): 
Portugal's equipment is often based on foreign manufacturer's designs however most of the equipment Is made in Portugal,The nation also lacks a very modern tank Force but has a nigh fanatical obsession with keeping its air force up to date,having already begun development of the first Portuguese made jet fighter and with plans for an aircraft carrier under review. All in all Portugal has no different equipment from any other nation on the planet,showing no great innovation but being effective when used right.

Enemies?:Portugal lacks many enemies but if animosity and general dislike can be considered then any fascist or Communist nation,having suffered from both in the last 50 years Portugal is now firmly set on their new,monarchist,path.

Nation's history:The History of Portugal stays more or less the same until 1944,seeing their ally in the British empire so utterly defeated the Prime minister of Portugal Antonio de Oliveira Salazar would begin negotiations with foreign powers to use Portugal as a landing ground for anti-German soldiers. However as this proposal reached the military command it quite quickly became clear to them that they would simply end up as yet another puppet state to the German Reich,one of the many disgruntled and dis-agreeing generals would immediately leak this information to the public and even with the heavy censorship of the State this would reach the socialist and communist revolutionaries that had planned to overtake the Portuguese Government as far back as 1930,the following July a coup d'etat would occur,putting the Portuguese communists in power.
This would be the worst time for such a thing to happen,the collapse of the world economy during the closing years of the war would collapse the national economy,not helped by the sudden influx of nearly 4 million refuges into what looked like the last 'stable' nation in Europe. The Communist government would not last long and with support from the Famous general,Humberto Delgado and many other nationalist and conservative individuals.by 1948 the Monarchy was re-established and elections were run,Delgado would go against know Salazar sympathizer Americo Thomaz and win a landslide election victory for the liberal party of Portugal,establishing himself as prime minister. As the Empires of Europe collapsed Portugal's new administration would take it up to themselves to take whatever they could from it,Annexing Gibraltar,Ceuta and the canaries in what they called 'protection of allied assets' to defend their new possessions the navy would be improved on and the air force would quickly expand. Economic Reforms would soon follow,trying to lessen the impact of the Depression,a later Social campaign would encourage the rich and wealthy to donate to those in need,Industrialization of the mostly agrarian economy of Portugal would also start,hoping to increase the quantity of available jobs as many of the refuges that had fled to Portugal were now living under the care of a government that could not afford to feed,clothe or house them.
Agitations would come to a peak in 1951 where it seemed that Angola and Mozambique, the 2 largest colonies of Portugal would fight for their independence,however most less radical groups would be appeased by the Declaration of Unification in April 23 in which the United kingdom of Portugal,Mozambique and Angola would be declared,giving the 2 colonies increased autonomy. A new constitution would be signed in July 7th 1953 and be received with praise,as of now,Portugal has greatly stabilized it's economy and Political situation,the possibility for Portugal to become a large regional powerhouse increases with each passing day.
