Look Out, Sir! Revised (Map Game)



General
The year is 1912, before World War I. Can you change world history forever? You can certainly try.

The Old Game
The original Look Out, Sir! was based in an alternative World War 2, in which Italy had took the Balkans, and North Africa by themselves. This lead to Germany's men being stockpiled for Operation: Barbarossa, and quickly defeating the Soviets. The Japanese also won Midway, keeping their fleet intact.

The game began fine, but a war in South America resulted in multiple countries from around the world fighting for Brazil. The USA (somehow) kept losing all battles in the Pacific, and had rebellions popping up everywhere. The inactivity of some players and implausibility of others made the game unplayable, and died about a week in.

Rules

 * 1) No implausibility. Ask mods what is plausible and what is not.
 * 2)  Each turn is a half year.
 * 3) Turns begin at UTC 00:00
 * 4) Don't edit past posts without permission from a moderator.
 * 5)  Resistance in countries will be determined with Random.org. A person must roll between 1-10. A 5 or less results in revolts, and a 10 or more results in no revolts. I want to stress this rule as it was completely ignored last game.
 * 6)  You may only control one nation, but may release nations as puppet states.
 * 7) Puppets act as allies, and must help the nation they are a puppet of at all times.
 * 8) Moderators have to ability to do plausible, and fair events for any and every country.
 * 9) Moderators decide what technology countries can research. This depends on the country's current economical state in game, and technological state in game and in our timeline.
 * 10)  You can not switch countries unless yours has been annexed.
 * 11) The game ends in the current year.
 * 12) New players can start the year they joined.
 * 13)  A page for your nation is strongly recommended. Be sure to include military strength and population count.
 * 14) Moderators determine what is plausible and what is not.
 * 15) Moderators designated as mapmakers are the only ones allowed to edit the map.
 * 16) Maps will be made when requested.
 * 17)  A nation historically with one side will stay with that side until they choose to leave by the minimum year of 1943. Leaders cannot leave. Example: Italy can leave the Axis beginning in 1943, but Germany may not. If one side is defeated, the winning side will determine the outcome of the defeated side.
 * 18) Colonial empires of nations conquered will become apart of the country who conquered the home country. Example: France conquers Netherlands, Dutch colonies become apart of France.
 * 19)  Nations classified as 'major power's' cannot be taken without a vote from the moderator staff whether or not a player can take it. Moderators are an exception to this rule.
 * 20)  You can only build up two of these things at a time: infrastructure, military, economy.

1914
Charles Lindbergh flies the first airplane flight across the Atlantic, as nations are finding interest in planes for warfare.

'''With racism rising in the southern parts of the USA, smaller groups of civil rights groups appear in the northern areas, disgusted by the intolerance towards the African-American ethnic group. Although numerous, they do not achieve much. '''

More Mod Events...


 * Argentina We improve northern and central infrastructure slightly. We hold a urban literacy campaign. In 1914, Argentina's economy was based on agricultural exports, mainly of grain and beef. Sheep and cattle are adored as a commodity and we expand ranches. Grain is also expanded slightly. We say we don't want to get involved in any non-Latin American wars and go neutral about the European rivalry.


 * Brazil: We ask the Ottomans for a alliance since they have most of the world's oil. We also ask Italy for an alliance since they control most of the trade in the Med sea. Lastly we ask Russia for an alliance. Our nation increases out military and navy. Also we upgrade our ports. Timber and Agriculture are our top industries. The border control increases its troops on our southern border, just in case something happens. We look up to the three nations above us, we want their land.


 * Ottoman Empire Dip: We decline the alliance with Brazil because an alliance with Russia will deeply oppose the Ottoman views.
 * Ottoman Empire: We decide that we should drill for oil in the coast of the Arabian Sea. The Sultan announces that if we would like to extend our sphere of influence to Northern Africa, we will have to get them to oppose their current occupiers. The Sultan also says that any rebellions on the Arabian Peninsula are unacceptable, and will be punished. We offer a defence pact to the German Empire, as we both have similar interests in economic and diplomatic views.
 * German Dip: We accept the defence pact.
 * Brazilian Dip: I was looking for a trade alliance.
 * OE Dip We agree.
 * United States of America: We begin building ships fro the navy, but the army is not improved much, but new rifles are issued. We declare neutrality in any overseas crisis, and begin building housing for many people in the nation. Jim crow laws continue in the South, and many southern whites feel that blacks are inferior to whites. In the North, however, there is much sympathy for the blacks. Charles Lindbergh is praised as a hero by the US citizens, and debate begins over which new state should be made: Alaska or Puerto Rico. People begin moving east into California and other areas.
 * Venezuela:  The white/pardos social divide is still in place, and little effort is made to improve the poverty and illiteracy of the nation. General and President Juan Vicente Gómez focuses instead on exploiting the country's resources for his friends, family and business partners. We begin to use the widespread telegraphic system in Venezuela to curtail the possibility of caudillo uprisings. Oil exploration projects that began in 1907/08 continue, with small wells popping up in few locations, but no major discoveries are made.
 * Russia: It is decided to invest more into the Navy, to match those of German and Great Britain.
 * Austria-Hungary: We work on our infrastructure, especially in Bosnia and Croatia. Multiple Catholic churches are built in Bosnia. The nation invests in the wood industry and fishing industry in the coastal regions, thus working on the economy.
 * Great Britain: As tensions in Europe rise, we begin to look elsewhere for alliances. The US is offered a NAP, and Brazil, China and Argentina are offered full alliances. We encourage the other Entente nations to do the same (France and Russia). Military and infrastructure are built up, with particular focus on our navy. We call upon the Irish rebels to the negotiation table, should they come, the are granted a final offer of Domain of the Empire. We call France and Russia to the negotiation table about what to do in the event of war with Germany. In a separate meeting, we ask Japan what to do about Germany's Pacific colonies. As tensions run high in Ireland, the Royal army moves in to occupy Belfast and Dublin. Fearing that Britain's attention is too far spread, the King enters talks to help alleviate this issue.
 * British Raj: As a push for greater self rule continues. The British construct naval bases in Southern India to deal with piracy. The military is improved and trade is increased, allowing for a larger economic development in the coming age. The training of irregulars/recruits begins.
 * Australia (all colonies on the island):  Naval bases are constructed in the north in the event of war with Germany. Infrastructure improves.
 * New Zealand: Naval bases are constructed on the northern islands in case of war with Germany.
 * Bhutan and Nepal: Military/economy improve.
 * South Africa: Construction of new buildings improves the infrastructure. An army of 80,000 are stationed in case of rebellion. Military improves.
 * North and South Rhodesia: Military and economy improve.
 * Domain of Canada, Belize and other North American Colonies (Canada is still open if one desires): Away from many of the tensions of Europe and the Pacific, these colonies improve infrastructure and economy, increasing trade across the empire.
 * Newfoundland: Serving as the gateway for British North American trade, The UK constructs military bases to protect British economic interests. Economy improves, as foreign and domestic  trade is common in these ports.
 * Gold Coast and Sierra Leone: Military/economy improve.
 * Nigeria; Military and infrastructure improve. Military bases are constructed along the border with German Cameroon.
 * Kenya and Uganda: Military and infrastructure improve. Military bases are built along the German Colonial border.
 * Sudan and Somaliland: Military and economy improve.
 * Hong Kong: Military and economy improve. Naval bases are constructed to protect British Interests.
 * British Oman, Kuwait, and Qatar: Military and economy improve.
 * Argentine D: We politely refuse the alliance and stay neutral, but the British are offered 20% cheaper than normal beef if they agree to invest in some new meat processing works in the provinces of Chubut and Santa Fe. We offer an NAP to Brazil, Bolivia, the USA and the British until Europe calms down again.
 * British Dip: We accept the NAP, but will only accept the beef offer if this is a deal exclusive to Britain.
 * Argentine D: Agreed.
 * Liberia was an American client state, not a British Colony in 1914.
 * My bad, meant for that to say Sierra Leone.


 * Siamese D.: We request to purchase the Shan states so that we can be reunited with our countrymen.
 * British Dip: the King politely declines this offer but is willing to reconsider this offer in the future. The British do ask for an alliance and offer to aid in Naval development if the alliance is accepted.
 * Siam agrees.


 * Siam: The King, perceived as too foreign-influenced and weak, loses control of the government as a party of reactionary army officers seizes control. They order elections, write a constitution, and create a legislature, resulting in the election of the newly formed Social Democratic Party. The king remains as a figurehead. Siam begins to aggressively modernize its economy, constructing industry and transportation routes to increase the country's economic capacity. The country modernizes quickly, following the policies of the post-Meiji Japanese government to become a modern, industrialized economy. As a result, industrial capacity triples. With its new wealth, Siam requests to purchase the rebellious and poor colony of Laos from France. Mods?
 * Completely plausible, as France had trouble controlling Indochina, and wasn't really in the best economic state at this time. I'd like for a second mod opinion. SwankyJ (talk) 22:28, April 15, 2014 (UTC)
 * Too much land I think, but if the war starts I think France would want to sell it.
 * Laos was really poor; it only produced 1% of Indochina's exports. In 1910 I think there were only 600 French in the country. Krasnoyarsk (talk) 22:45, April 15, 2014 (UTC)
 * They won't give it up until they need some money in the Great War. Hasn't started yet, pretty soon. 

'''It was mostly humid jungle with only a few roads and towns. It was very under-developed back then. Whipsnade (talk) 00:14, April 16, 2014 (UTC)'''
 * Germany: We continue to produce more naval ships to match the Royal Navy of Britain. The army continues to expand.

1914.5
WONT BE HERE BY 1:00 UTC PUTTING UP EVENTS AND MY MOVE

''' The Tampico Affair occurs. The United States occupies Veracruz. Mexico cuts diplomatic relations with the United States due to the Ypiranga Incident  and the Tampico Affair. The Mexican Revolution begins shortly afterward. '''

''' The Home Rule Act of 1914 is presented to the British Parliament. '''

''' Franz Ferdinand, Archduke of Austria and his wife Sophie are assassinated in Sarajevo by young Serbian nationalist Gavrilo Princip. '''

' The RMS Empress of Ireland'' sinks. It is the largest Canadian maritime accident in peacetime with over 1000 lost. '''

'''For the record, please look on Wikipedia for major events. Some events may be implausible due to in-game reasons so make sure to check the game if there is anything regarding it. Thank you. Blocky858 (talk) 02:30, April 16, 2014 (UTC)'''

'''Thinking about it, I haven't stated that Franz goes to Sarajevo. How could he be assassinated then? Sky Green 24 10:47, April 16, 2014 (UTC)'''

Exactly my point ^ Blocky858 (talk) 22:52, April 16, 2014 (UTC)
 * Ottoman Empire We continue to build our military and our economy. The sultan finds interest in planes for warfare and messaging. So he contacts British and German plane building company's for parts. We send troops to the the colonial rebellions to defeat them and to keep them under control. SECRET: We ask AH and Germany for an alliance.
 * ​German Dip: We agree to the alliance.
 * Austria Hungary Dip: We also agree.
 * Argentina: The OTL 1912 political- Law 8871, known as the "Sáenz Peña Law", comes in to force in 1914. It reforms the Argentine electoral system, making the vote secret, universal and compulsory for males over 18; so effectively ended fraudulent rule of the nation's oligarchy. The cut price beef deal with the British is honored.They are too upgraded our few meat processing units in Chubut, Santa Fe and Entre Ríos Provinces as part of the deal. Tucumán Province's roads are improved slightly. Argentina is concerned over any future break down of commerce or any raids on its beef and wheat industries.The year long work starts on four lesser sloops of war and two monitors to patrol our coastline for the time being. Long term neutrality is to be maintained. They are based on plans akin to -

 * http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USS_Mohican_(1883)
 * http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hu%C3%A1scar_(ship)
 * http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HMVS_Cerberus
 * United States of America: We continue to maintain neutrality, and attempt to find a peaceful solution to the Ypiranga Incident. Naval expansion continues, and we build two new capital ships, the USS Michigan and USS Jefferson. Both are deployed for the Atlantic, and we begin being more open about trade. Immigration from other nations sees the Ku Klux Klan begin gaining support in the South, and mounting raids upon immigrants in the US. The federal government tries to keep the peace, but it is half hearted. We begin a rescue operation for the passengers of the RMS Empress of Ireland, and search for survivors. Many come to the US, where we begin providing homes for them until Britain can supply proper aid.
 * Austria-Hungary: We work on our military and economy.
 * Venezuela: We offer our full sympathies and respects to the victims of the RMS Empress of Ireland sinkage and the attack on the Austro-Hungarian Archduke. Our President would be happy to attend Ferdinand's funeral representing Venezuela. An economic plan is written up to cancel all outstanding Venezuelan international debts, we plan to reach this goal by 1918. Meanwhile, the economy improves slowly but surely thanks to new literacy programs across the country. However, we are untrusting of labour unions, and we prohibit companies from building oil refineries on Venezuelan soil. Companies begin to favour the nearby Dutch islands of Aruba and Curaçao for oil exploration as a result.
 * Argentine D: We offer our full sympathies and respects to the victims of the RMS Empress of Ireland sinking. 
 * Siam: The economy continues to modernize as the country industrializes. Economic reforms include a unified modern currency, banking, commercial and tax laws, stock exchanges, and a communications network. The new Bank of Siam stabiizes the economy and provides loans and the money for the continuation of a massive industrial expansion. Manufactured goods production increases, including weapons and military goods. Siam begins to produce modern rifles and guns based on foreign models, although they are still inferior in many cases. A modern education system is put in place using the government's new tax resources for all young people, while thousands of students are sent overseas to learn new skills.
 * Brazil: We start to make our own version of what we think a tank looks like. Venceslau Bras accepts the trade agreement with the Ottomans. We give the Ottomans timber and food and in return they give us oil. Our navy starts to build ships. With an assassination happening in Serbia, we increase our military just in case something happens. Weapons are being mass produced in our factories. We send medical aid and weapons to Austria-Hungary, after what happened to their leader.


 * Great Britain:  Military     is built up, along with infrastructure. in light of the recent assassination and fearing a war between the major powers of Europe, call for a meeting in London or, if permitted, Brussels to discuss the issues of a war between major powers. With careful deliberation, the Irish state is granted dominion within the empire. Naval build up remains a chief concern of the empire, though the Navy remains the strongest in the world, rivaled closely by Germany.
 * British Raj:  Economy and infrastructure are built up.
 * Domain of Canada: Economy and infrastructure are built up.
 * Newfoundland: Economy and military are built up. Naval bases are constructed.
 * Gold Coast and Sierra Leone: Economy and infrastructure are built up.
 * Nigeria: Military bases are constructed throughout the nation in case of German attack. Economy is built up.
 * Egypt: Work on Military and economy begins.
 * Sudan: Economy and infrastructure improve.
 * Kenya and Uganda: Military bases are constructed in case of German attack.
 * South Africa: Military and economy are built up.
 * North and South Rhodesia: Economy and infrastructure are built up.
 * Boherlands: Economy and infrastructure are built up.
 * Oman: Military and economy are built up.
 * Kuwait: Military and infrastructure are built up.
 * Qatar: Military and infrastructure are built up.
 * Hong Kong:  Military and economy are built up.
 * Bhutan and Nepal: Economy and infrastructure are developed (MASSIVE CHANGE HERE.)
 * Australia: Military and infrastructure are built up. Naval bases are constructed to protect the colony.
 * New Zealand: Same as above.
 * Bahamas: Economy and infrastructure are built up
 * Belize and other Caribbean colonies: Infrastructure and economy are built up.
 * Guyana: Economy and military are built up.
 * France: The military is rapidly modernised, and a new, camouflaged uniform is designed. We begin training exercises, and following a test in which we fire a huge barrage of shells at trenches, and are disheartened to discover that nothing happens to the trench. We also recognise that should it come to war, we will need the women to take a pivotal role in factory work, so begin training them in special classes. A new tactic is thought up to use artillery better: the rolling barrage. We decide to send a diplomat to London to discuss fears of war.
 * Germany: With war near in Europe, we look back on old ideas submitted to the War Ministry to see if there was anything that could be of use in a war. We review the idea for an armored, light, three man vehicle with a revolving turret, submitted by Gunther Burstyn in 1911. We approve it, and start making plans to build it. We continue building new naval ships, wishing to have a fleet equal to or greater than the Royal Navy. We start conscripting more men for the army, as it seems war is imminent.
 * British Dip: We request you attend a meeting in London in hopes to calm tensions
 * German Dip: We accept to come to London.

The Autonomous City of Buenos Aires, Buenos Aires province and Tucumán province's roads are improved slightly. The port of La Boca on the Matanza River is upgraded slightly. Beef production goes up due to the new processing plants. Buenos Aires province strategic infrastructure such as armament stores, sewers, food processing plants, railways and telegraph lines are upgraded notably. Low level copper prospecting occurs in San Juan Province. A pilot-less hot air balloon is launched across the coast near La Boca port, wafts over our two brand new Rivadavia class battleships and is blasted out of the skies with navel cannon fire. 12 out of 15 allotted shells expended, but number 12 did hit it. We were concerned that airplanes and hot air balloons might be weaponized by the Europeans and/or the USA in a future conflict. We watch the Mexican civil war with concern. Experts are fascinated by the new image of Pluto.
 * Argentine Diplomacy: We invite the British in to financing a new railway that links Buenos Aires Docks to the city of Buenos Aires. As payment, we will let British merchant ships use both it and the dock as they please, without customs payment, mooring fees, tariffs and so on. A 20% cheaper than normal leather and sheepskin deal is also offers exclusivity to the British. A non-aggression pact is offered to Uruguay, Bolivia and Brazil. Mods decide for NPC Uruguay and Bolivia.
 * Serbia: We build up our military and begin to build fortifications on the border with Austria-Hungary.
 * Austria-Hungary: Due to pressure issued by the Croatian province, a reformation of Austria-Hungary is debated. The government is proposed to create a federalized nation, allowing equal rights to all citizens This federal idea is highly supported by the numerous Slavic ethnicities. Due to earlier acts of our neighbours, we raise funds going to the military and improve the infrastructure in regions such as Vojvodina and Bosnia.
 * Venezuela: The economy continues to improve, with literacy programs ongoing and unemployment falling as the state explores how to use and benefit from the large petroleum deposits of the nation, however companies and foreign investors are still rejected in favour of the President's family and friends. Malaria is the greatest killer in Venezuela, and with living conditions not improving much, we begin to research treatments. Community participation and health education strategies promoting awareness of malaria (as well as increased availability of mosquito nets) also occurs, and we call on other nations with malaria and mosquito problems to help in finding effective treatment and cure methods. The navy is slightly improved as we are disturbed by the ongoing conflicts in Mexico.
 * Ottoman Empire: We build up our military. The Sultan says that we will contain the plague, saying that we will kill them with our chemical weapons program. SECRET: ' We ask Venezuela if they would like to join the central powers.

Sorry was in a rush


 * Brazil:  With Venezuela join the central powers, we join them and do the same . The first prototype of the Brazilian tanks are built. We call it the AF-016. Our navy continues to to build more ships in mass production. We continue to give more medical aid and weapons to Austria-Hungary. We make Serbia an enemy of our nation. More jobs are being created in our factories with the mass production of military stuff being made. We increase education and encourage people to get an education. Equal rights are given to all people of the country.

'''Implausible. Ottoman-Brazil relations were kinda rough.'''

For the record, Venezuela hasn't joined the Central Powers.

You don't have the industrial capability to build tanks that quickly, or design them.
 * British Empire: We request that the Ottoman Empire, Russia and Austria-Hungary attend the Conference of London, set to take place late this year. Military and navy are built up to keep ahead of Germany. Economy improves as well.

 * Nigeria: Military and infrastructure improve.
 * North and South Rhodesia: Economy and infrastructure improve.
 * Boherland: Same as above.
 * Gibraltar: Military and economy improve.
 * Oman, Kuwait and Qatar: Military and economy improve in all three.


 * Argentine Diplomacy: We invite the British in to financing a new railway that links Buenos Aires Docks to the city of Buenos Aires. As payment, we will let British merchant ships use both it and the dock as they please, without customs payment, mooring fees, tariffs and so on. A 20% cheaper than normal leather and sheep skin deal is also offers exclusivity to the British. A non-aggression pact is offered to Uruguay, Bolivia and Brazil. Mods decide for NPC Uruguay and Bolivia.
 * Accepted.
 * Germany: We produce a prototype of the so called 'tank' idea. The tank is a one-ton, four wheel track, rectangular vehicle, with a single rotating turret. The gun is more or less a 20mm cannon. The crew is four: a driver, gunner, loader, and co-driver. It has a top speed of 60 kph, similar to some cars. The armor is thin at 15 mm. It is named the GAT-01. We begin producing more airplanes, balloons and Zeppelins for the Imperial German Flying Corps. We continue to produce naval ships and continue to conscript.
 * United States: We remain neutral but we are building up our military. We send aid to people recovering from the Lassen Peak eruption in California.
 * Siam: Institutes conscription, expanding the military and creating a large pool of reservists. Siam begins putting aside a portion of its revenue into an emergency fund to prepare for large expenditure in the future. The army is equipped with modern rifles, machine guns and artillery modeled after foreign weapons. The government also lays down several hundred new transports and dozens of destroyers.

player events
 * Argentina: We also begin to research malaria treatments. Community participation and health education strategies promoting awareness of malaria and make the increased availability of mosquito nets in the malaria hit northern provinces of Formosa, Jujuy, Misiones and Salta. We have a whale of a time using Southern Right Whales to make industrial grade soap with. Low level copper prospecting occurs in San Juan Province and Chubut Province. A low level oil drilling operation of our own occurs at Comodoro Rivadavia and looks promising. We start building a final ship base on the ARA Almirante Brown (1880) and four whalers of our own. Malargüe town, the home of Argentine garlic has its roads slightly upgraded, as does the town of Comodoro Rivadavia. The army is equipped with modern rifles, machine guns and artillery modeled after foreign weapons. We regret to hear about the tram crash and ferry sinking in the USA.


 * Argentine diplomacy:
 * 1) We offer the USA the rights to prospect for and set up two oil wells at Comodoro Rivadavia in Chubut Province. In payment Argentina would like five America Steamwhalers similar this Canadian model.
 * 2) The British are offered 10% price cut lamb supply in exchange for five America Steamwhalers similar this Canadian model.
 * 3) The French are offered 10% cut price garlic and potatoes in exchange for some technical help on our Andean Mountain roads.


 * United States Diplomacy: We accept the trade offer to set up two oil wells in exchange for five steamwhalers


 * Ottoman Empire: Roads and water wells are upgraded in western Anatolia, Damascus and Baghdad. Whilst due to the ATL fact there is no ATL war, and so no OTL/ATL mass call up, which now never lead to the [siege of the ethnically Arminian and anti-war city of Van]; ethnic tensions still traditionally bubble with ethnic Armenians, Arabs, Greeks and Kurds. The idea of giving the remote and rebellious Mutawakkilite Kingdom of Yemen and the Kurdish rebels of Diyarbekir Vilayet and Mosul city a small piece of local religious and trade authority is mooted. The hostile Saudi Sultanate of Nejd is to be watched closely. The army is equipped with modern rifles, machine guns and artillery modeled after foreign weapons. We attend the London Conference.


 * *Ottoman Diplomacy: A mutual protection treaty like the OTL the is offered To Bulgaria and also the friendly Rashidi Emirate of Ha'il. An Ottoman olive oil for Bulgarian sheep produce trade deal is offered. Mods to decide player-less NPC Bulgarian and Rashidi response.

In OTL the Rashidi Emirate of Ha'il was pro-Ottoman since it was fiercely anti-Saudi Najd and waned a fellow Muslim allies to help defeat the Saudis.
 * Spain: After hearing of a possible new strain of influenza possibly developing within its borders, the Spanish Government moves to quarantine the sick, even if they only have the common cold, for anyone could carry the flu and not know it, then unknowingly pass it on. Development of malaria treatments also begin, especially in advance of a secret plan to retake their old Caribbean colonies, especially Cuba. They know if they are to be victorious, Spain must develop aircraft. After looking over the country's industry, the decision is made to convert the entire rail network to standard gauge in order to be able to connect with the rest of the European rail network. The factories also receive new technology, with an emphasis on mass production and safety. Fearing an attack from France to be inevitable after an unconfirmed report of French spies getting wind of the Caribbean Stratagem, Spain requests an alliance with Germany.
 * North Morocco: Additional troops and ships are sent to fortify against a possible strike by a local anti-Spanish warlord.
 * German Dip: We accept the alliance.
 * Siam: Siam continues to expand its military. many of the ships laid down last year are completed, giving Siam lots of short-range transports and some destroyers. Two cruisers are put under construction. The reserves keep training, expanding Siam's pool of prospective soldiers, while about a quarter of the government's budget is put into the emergency fund. Siam looks on the repression of its ethnic brethren in the Dutch colonies in Indonesia with dislike, especially the massacres and repression in the Acehnese Sultanate. Worried of suffering the same thing, Siam decides to act preemptively and launches a surprise attack on Dutch Borneo, using its transports to rush its troops across the straits before the stronger Dutch fleet can respond. It sends about 20,000 men to scout the Dutch positions before attacking out of the jungle. The Dutch, restricted mainly to the coastal strip, are taken by surprise. Helped by local Malays and Sea Dayak pirates, Siamese troops rout the unprepared Dutch in a battle at Pontianak, taking the city, and force the retreat or surrender of the surviving Dutch, who are treated humanely (although some are executed by vengeful headhunters). Siam sends an expedition to explore Marie Byrd Land in Antarctica.
 * British Dip: We wish to confirm our alliance.
 * Venezuela: The Bolivar Coastal Field is discovered, 35 miles long and estimated to be the largest oil field in South America. In response, the government begins to offer concessions to Venezuelan businesses allowing them to drill for oil although taxes are heavy and labor unions heavily regulated. The fight against malaria continues but with no significant breakthroughs, although rates of infection are noticeably in decline thanks to the ongoing awareness programs and mosquito net rollouts. We thank Argentina for their help in researching a treatment.
 * Siamese D: Offers Venezuela a trade pact.
 * Venezuelan D: We accept this offer.
 * British Dip: WE offer and alliance and in exchange we will acknowledge Venezuela's claim to the WESTERN HALF of Guyana.
 * Brazil:  Since our first tank prototype was a success we build more in our factories. We ask to join the side of the central powers. In the Amazon rain forest, we drill for oil. A new program is made for flying and the making of airplanes. The first prototype plane is being built. More ships are being made for our navy. The military drafts more troops for our boarder control team. More people are getting an education in technology. Just in case we get hit with malaria, You already have it , we also begin to research malaria treatments. Community participation and health education strategies promoting awareness of malaria and make the increased availability of mosquito nets.With the Military of Argentina equipping themselves with modern rifles, machine guns and artillery modeled after foreign weapons, we do the same. We now watch Argentina very carefully. We make prototype versions of the rifle, machine guns and other weapons.
 * Again, no industrial capability to do something massive like that. Also, Brazil isn't able to get such a massive boost in college education, especially technological areas. And making treatment against malaria "just in case" is pretty asb. 
 * Brazil today is now about 40% major risk and 60% minor risk of malaria . He has a reason to use malaria nets, but it would be a lot more prevalent back in 1915. A full health campaign is needed, not just an odd bit 'just in case'. 
 * Argentine D: We put forward plans for Argentina, Brazil, Uruguay and Chile to form an economic and trading block in the agricultural sector. The block would try and get the best deals for local exporters off of European importers and start undercutting non-member rivals with cheaper exports from member states..
 * Venezuelan D: We are disappointed that we have been excluded from this plan, which we believe would pave the way for closer integration between the countries of Latin America and help us to avoid tensions and conflict akin to that of Europe.
 * Argentine D: Venezuela can join if they wish to.
 * German Dip: We accept Brazil into the Central Powers.
 * Venezuelan D: Venezuela joins the South American trade bloc.
 * Germany: With the GAT-01 being mildly successful in military tests, specifically reconnaissance and anti-infantry, we decide to begin production of 100 models. We keep making new ships and planes for the armed forces. We also keep conscripting. We begin testing new rifles and machine guns for use. We send two bomber Zeppelins over the Netherlands and Belgium. We begin to mobilize our armies. We begin developing the military and economy. The 65th Infantry regiment marches from Cologne into east Liege, occupying the German-speaking communities. The action is confirmed to be an actual order given by the General staff. They say they wish to protect the ethnic German population.
 * British Dip: We ask that you remove soldiers from Belgium, a historically neutral nation
 * Argentine D: We ask for a formal alliance and a trade deal with with Venezuela,France, USA and/or the British. We reassure Brazil we do not want to cause them harm.
 * British Dip: Accepted.
 * United States Diplomacy: We accept the formal alliance with Argentina.
 * Venezuelan D: We agree to the alliance and trade deal. Amidst the revolution in Mexico, conflict in the West Indies, and Belgium fiasco we propose joint military training exercises between our newly allied nations. We also assume the UK will respect our territorial claims in Western Guyana as part of this alliance.
 * British Empire: We seek to confirm alliances with Japan.
 * ​Great Britain: We are displeased with the current war, as we believe that it violates the neutrality of Belgium. Military and economy are built up. The Royal Navy is mobilized, ready to defend Great Britain if needed. The Conference of London is postponed indefinitely due to the ongoing war in Belgium. Soldiers are stationed on the island in case of war.
 * British Raj: Military and infrastructure are built up. Royal Navy is placed on high alert.

 * United States: We continue to be neutral in the Great War . We are improving the infrastructure of roads and rails especially in the urban cities. We continue to build up our military in the event that the United States were to get involved in the Great War.
 * British Secret Dip: If war breaks out between Britain and Germany, we ask that the US side with the British and in exchange we will allow you to take Germany's former African Colonies, with the exception of Cameroon.

The town is agriculture the center of production of seed potatoes, along with minor crops such as alfalfa, onion and garlic. Oil exploration starts on a small way and the firm YPF is found the work. Uranium ore is found, but is considered not worth mining, since all it’s good for is things like glow in the dark signing night-visible watches . The international borders of Misiones, Entre Ríos, Corrientes and Formosa provinces are fortified with a four-foot tall earth berm wall, a few guns and loads of barbed wire. Buenos Aires port is upgraded and linked to Buenos Aires city by a light railway. Telegraph lines are improved nation wide. Sheep farming out numbers manpower so we call upon any hopeful British, Americans, Canadians, Mexicans, Serbs and Italians to migrate here to work on our new ranches in Santa Cruz and Cubbet Provinces. We compare our two Rivadavia class battleships with Brazil’s two Minas Geraes class battleships and are pleased with our designs. A small copper-mine opens in Cubbet Province.
 * Argentine D: We reassure Brazil we do not want to cause them harm. We put forward plans for Costa Rica, Colombia, Peru, Paraguay, Argentina, Brazil, Ecuador, Uruguay and Chile to form an economic and trading bloc with Argentina and Venezuela in the agricultural sector.

Concessions are offered to Siamese and Argentinian companies looking to use the Bolivar Coastal Field for oil. We continue literacy programs in urban areas, helping to drive up employment and the economy with the oil companies. Malaria awareness programs and research into treatments continues.
 * Venezuelan D: We ask that our country, the USA, the UK, France and Argentina perform joint military exercises in the very near future. The occupations of Belgium, Bolivia and Paraguay are common threats to the peace and security of our nations and we must prepare for the worst.

 * Argentina: The Radical Party Hipólito Yrigoyen wins the election. He makes historic OTL/ATL improvements in factory conditions, regulation of working hours, compulsory pensions, and the introduction of a universally accessible public education system. The ruling elite think he’s a fool, but the public love him. Argentina starts pushing the social envelope slowly to the dismay of its neighbors.

The Dutch rase 10,000 men and send them to defend the Dutch East Indies.
 * Russia: The economy is expanded. Austria-Hungary is asked to transfer the regions of East and West Galicia to Russia.
 * Federal States of Greater Austria (FSGA): Rejected, due to recent federalization of the region and increased autonomy.
 * Spain: With standardization of the railways well underway, a review of necessary industries is undertaken for any future total war situations due to the deteriorating stability of Europe. Meanwhile, the sick are lined up and shot to prevent the spread of influenza. Although the move is met with great disdain, King Alfonso XIII gives this statement in a national speech: "Would you rather have 100 or so people killed to prevent the spread of flu, or witness the deaths of millions of people worldwide because of US?" The Purge of the Sick is over in a few hours, and many Spanish scientists are put to work to create flu treatments, including the invention of a new treatment known as vaccine, to be injected into a vein with a syringe. On the military front, Spain opens up the first of many facilities known as war factories, disguised as steel mills. These factories are to develop vehicles and weapons, and build them as well. We request copies of the plans for the GAT-01 from our German allies. We will pay generously for them.
 * North Morocco: An uprising by the natives led by an anti-Spain warlord is crushed with little resistance. In response, Spain reinstates the Conquistadors as a military police unit for its colonial possessions.
 * Spanish Sahara: Troops are sent in response to a small threat coming from a tribe seeking to drive out the "Spanish warlords". It fails, and the entire tribal village near the capital of Spanish Sahara is burned to the ground by Conquistadors, reminiscent of the conquests in the Americas.
 * France declares war on Spain.
 * Germany: We decide to support Bulgaria. We are against the Austro-Hungarians handing over Galicia to the Russians. The GAT-01s arrive in Belgium, and with the 65th Regiment, take the whole region of Liege. (Roll of Two for revoltings) As the new tanks speed into the city of Liege flying the German Empire's flags, a large crowd gathers in the way of the tanks. They throw fruits, vegetables, rocks, sand, dirt, and anything else they can find at the tanks. The tanks are mildly damaged. A Belgian man of French descent climbs onto one of the tanks, opening it up and throwing rocks at the crew inside. A crew member takes a pistol and shoots the man in the stomach, causing him to fall off the tank, clenching his stomach. The crowd is outraged, and begins to climb over the tanks. The tank crews begin firing the 20mm cannon, as well as running over some civilians. As the infantry arrive from both the Belgian and German armies, both sides fight it out. The Germans win a major victory here, taking minor losses. The Belgians lose most of their forces and retreat. The city of Liege is then burned to the ground because of the resistance it caused. The Treaty of Aachen is proposed.
 * Despite all of the war crimes and atrocities committed by the evil regime of Wilhelm II of Germany, Albert I reluctantly accepts the peace proposal, reassuring his citizens that the Germans will get what is coming to them. (Rex - As mod)
 * French President Raymond Poincare strongly condemns the German aggression, as exemplified by the destruction of Liege, in blatant disregard for the Geneva Conventions, which relate to treatment of civilians and the peaceful non-combatants, especially sick and wounded. Poincare calls for the leading German general to be tried at Brussels by a court composed of British, French, Dutch, Belgian, and German judges (one from each nation).
 * German Dip: We accept to send a judge, and the General in question, Lieutenant General Karl Dieffenbach.
 * St._Chamond.jpge begins to seriously prepare itself for mounting tensions. We begin to work to make the Entente Powers an official organization with the purpose of maintaining democratic practices throughout Europe and the world, as well as preserving the current balance of power and promoting self-determination. We invite the United Kingdom, Italy, and Russia to join as leading states of the Alliance. We also open the alliance up to the United States (as an active observer member), and any other Latin American nations. Serbia and Romania are also offered entrance to this alliance. France itself works to develop the military, with the entire army wearing camouflaged field uniforms and practicing artillery combat. Meanwhile, Colonel Estienne, an influential military strategist, proposes a series of border protections along the Franco-German border (modeled after the OTL Maginot Line). Additionally, Estienne convinces Commander Joffre to order creation of tanks to rival the German models, and car companies Renault and Peugeot quickly rise to the challenge. Renault introduces the St. Arois Mach 1, and Peugeot introduces the Leopard Mach 1. Finally, Poincare invites Belgium to join France as an autonomous region, which would still maintain its current government but receive French (and therefore Russian and British) protection. A similar offer is made to the Netherlands and Luxembourg. At the end of the year, French spies report that the Spanish intend to expand aggressively and Poincare orders an invasion of Spain, putting the newly trained army to use.
 * Throughout the French colonial empire, the provinces are prepared for potential war. As war seems ever closer, the navy continues to improve and begins to drill for blockades and seizures of the colonies of other nations, which will probably take place in a first-come, first-serve basis. Tunisia is annexed into Algiers. Meanwhile, as the war against Spain begins, the French North African army attacks Morocco and Western Sahara.
 * Wait, Italy? Weren't they on the side of the Central forces at the beginning?
 * Ottoman D: We don't see what the problem is about, Spain only treated their colonial rebels as they deserve. Anti-colonial rebels are sh*t in our view. The Arab rebels in our nation are lucky we only cut their noses of this time! (The Ottomans were naturally intolerant of rebels).
 * British Dip: Accepted.
 * Federal States of Greater Austria (FSGA): The Government finally puts into action the federal plan, after a two-year preparation. This grants non-Austrian and non-Hungarian ethnicities larger autonomy in their respective regions. This increases the support of the numerous ethnicities towards the newly re-organized nation. Partially autonomous governments focus on infrastructure. The nation as a whole begins funding the adaptation of the German tanks to the Greater Austrian terrain and the Greater Austrian needs. Although Federal states will have rights to pass laws unique to their respective federal state, a new constitution is being written that will be valid in the whole nation.
 * Brazil: We start to drill on the coast of our nation for oil. Our scientists continue to work on a cure for malaria. With the growing tensions in Europe we send supplies to our allies of the Central Powers. With our flying program becoming a hit, one person builds a prototype plane to fly himself. He flies for ten minutes at the speed of 25 mph at 200 feet in the air. Our military increases with the production of weapons being made. Our navy continues to build more ships. We send troops into Bolivia and Paraguay to influence them in the Brazilian way. With France declaring war on Spain we support Spain in the war. We declare war on the Republic Of Arauca. (mods can you please make an algo for this war) We tell Venezuela to watch out for this man and we will help you capture him.
 * The Brazil conquers the Republic Of Arauca.
 * British Empire: War is declared on Spain. The Royal Navy Blockades the Nation.
 * ​Great Britain: With rising tensions in Europe continuing, we begin to develop tanks. Military and economy improve. In response to the Easter Uprising in Ireland, military presence in Ireland increases. Despite this, a referendum will be held late next year to see if Ireland wishes to remain a domain of the empire or become an autonomous country. The largely protestant areas in the North will likely be against this while the Catholic majority will favor it.
 * British Raj: Military and economy improve.
 * Gibraltar: Military and economy improve.
 * Domain of Canada: Economy and infrastructure improve.
 * Newfoundland: Same as above.
 * Guyana: Same as above.
 * Australia: Same as above.
 * New Zealand: Same as above.
 * Egypt: Military and economy improve.
 * Sudan: Military and infrastructure improve.
 * Somalia: Economy and infrastructure improve.
 * Nigeria: Economy and military improve.
 * Uganda: Same as above.
 * Kenya: Same as above.
 * OTHERS WILL BE ADDED LATER HOPEFULLY.
 * I'm doing the Algos. Whipsnade (talk) 14:55, April 20, 2014 (UTC)
 * Please state actual troop numbers in future wars.
 * I would like help by the other mods. Some one else can do mod events and turn the year, I just did it because no one else did. 
 * Ottoman D: It is sad to see Moslem Berber die, but that is a sad fact of colonial rule under Christians. We don't see what the military-political problem is about, Spain only treated their colonial rebels as they deserved. Anti-colonial rebels are sh*t in our view. The Arab rebels in are nation are lucky we only cut their noses of this time! (The Ottomans were naturally intolerant of rebels).
 * Argentina D: We are upset to see Spain invaded and condemn it. All refugees from Spain can come to Patagonia and upgrade our nation's farms. We require 100,000 to fill the labour shortages in the region. Humanitarian aid is sent to Spain.
 * Siam: Declares war on Spain and sends 40,000 troops (mainly newly recruited from Borneo) to assist its British ally.  In the meantime, Borneo is integrated into the nation at large. Infrastructure, especially transport networks and health services, is greatly expanded, gaining the respect of the once-oppressed Bornean populace.  Transport expands throughout the country, enabling improved military movement and expanding the economy. Siam proposes the Treaty of Djakarta to the Netherlands to end the war. (Mods?) In the meantime, Siam invades the Celebes to pressure the Dutch, first scouting and then running troops across the straits from Borneo into the trackless interior. Once there, they assemble and take the Dutch by surprise in a mirror of the Borneo offensive, accompanied by thousands of Sulawesi tribesmen, remembering the Dutch campaigns of 1905-6.
 * Sulawesi (Celebes) falls. Andalusia falls, but Seville holds out. Seville had a population of 210,000, thus needs a separate Algo. Wallonia falls after some fighting. Vlaams falls, but Antwerp holds out. Antwerp had a population of ~300,000, thus needs a separate Algo. Mods, is this right?

Poland's a snout?

1917


'''During the drafting of the new FSGA Constitution in Vienna, a major bombing, blamed on the Serbian Black Hand kills the leaders of all regions of Austria. Among the few survivors is Stjepan Radić, Croat politician.'''

As a result, the FGSA devolves into Civil War, with the declarations of independence of the following nations being issued: Slovenia, Croatia, Transylvania, Bohemia, Slovakia, West and East Galicia.

'''If it was Black Hand, it's ASB since Black Hand disbanded in 1916, and most leaders were arrested by this time. If it wasn't, I doubt any other organization could infilitrate the signing of the constitution, and then blow up a bomb (which would be an unlikely scenario), kill everyone important in the room (an even less likely scenario), and then cause all the A-H states to rise up in revolt. In short, this is my nearly final stance on this issue. Do  NOT  delete this. Blocky858 (talk) 05:09, April 21, 2014 (UTC)'''

''' Elsewhere in Europe, the leaders of the Low Countries accept joining the French Republic as autonomous regions. The unpopular Spanish king is forced to accept new powers by the Parliament, which urges the King to accept the Treaty of Le Havre, which would end conflict between all nations invading Spain.'''

''' After the French assume control over all former Belgian and Dutch colonies, the Siamese decide to leave Sulawesi rather than risk French colonial aggression in a difficult decision. '''

'''It's ASB to have three sovereign nations, plus their colonies, agree to all give up everything and become a part of France. I also told you if it WAS more like a mutual protection agreement, to NOT include them on the map, and you mustn't do ANY action with them. You have until the next turn to remodel the map and do whatever shit you need to do. ALSO, I said as well that you can't force a player country to sign a treaty. Until the Spanish player signs the treaty himself, I don't want you interacting with the regions unless it's an occupational interaction. I also don't want you to add it to the map. If you MUST put it on the map, include the disputed lines. Do  NOT  delete this either. Blocky858 (talk) 05:09, April 21, 2014 (UTC)'''

'Lieutenant General Karl Dieffenbach is tried and sentenced to death by a vote of 4-1 (with the German judge ruling not guilty'') for his role in the Rape of Liege. News of this event spreads to the US, where the anti-Germans are extremely distraught.'''

 * Argentina: A supply of 1000 free potatoes and ten tons of wheat are sent to Spain. Comodoro Rivadavia in Chubut Province is prospected for oil by YPF and four wells are drilled. A minor copper mine opens in Mendoza region at Malargüe. A few prototype aircraft are made. Several steam trains are made. Immigrant laboures requested from Spain, Italy, Serbia, Mexico, Britain, USA and Portugal due to labour shortages in Patagonia. Road and ranch upgrades occur in Rivadavia, Jujuy, and Salta. People of mixed White/Native Argentine Indians are given equal rights to Whites. We offer a trade deal to the Ottoman Empier, Colombia, Venezuela, Costa Rica, Nicaragua, Cuba, China, Japan, Siam and Peru.
 * User quits the game saying it's ASB and gives Argentina to Satern 120. Whipsnade (talk) 01:04, April 21, 2014 (UTC)


 * Ottoman Empire: The Ottoman Empire gives the remote Mutawakkilite Kingdom of Yemen and the Emirate of Asir independence. Kurdish rebels of Diyarbakir Vilayet and Mosul city are warned to back-down or face assault, but as a concession the Kurdish language is legalized in that Vilayet. An alliance akin to the OTL Ottoman German Alliance is offered to Germany. Relations are strengthened with Ha’il and Bulgaria. A sloop of war based on the HMS Espiegle. Several steam trains are made and a passenger ship based on the SS Henry Chisholm are laid down. A few prototype aircraft are made. and a universally accessible public education system is introduced in Anatolia, Damascus and Eastern Thrace. The Ottomans agree to the trade deal. We invade the Russian occupied Persia to hope and set them free.
 * Satern 120 will be returning today, so he gets the Ottomans back.


 * OE Dip: We declare war on Russia, as they are busy with the Communists and the in the Caucasus, hoping that the rebellions will become our ally.


 * Italy, excited by the collapse of its longtime regional rival but ally due to practicality, decides that a break with the German and Austro-Hungarian states is in order. This is only made stronger by the desire of the current Italian monarch to increase relations with France, which is quickly becoming one of the main superpowers. As such, Italy applies for alliances with Russia, France and Great Britain.  Italy also mobilizes its military to seize Slovenia, which is quickly annexed. Relations with Croatia are improved.
 * Sorry to inform you, but A-H didn't fall apart. 
 * France, under President Poincare, continues to develop itself as a large-scale world power. The airplane and tank industries continue to receive even greater widespread support, and therefore investments. Renault and Peugeot continue to be major European automotive and tank manufacturers as the Leopard Mach 2 is introduced as a great success for Peugeot. Joffre continues to develop the Estienne Line (OTL Maginot Line) after finishing his combat in Spain.  With the end of the Spanish War, Aragon and Navarre is improved to be brought up to French standards. Public education in that region begins to focus on assimiliating the two cultures as much as possible, with education in Catalan and French.


 * The French Colonial Empire is reorganized into six Regional Directorates (North, Central, Eastern Africa; Americas; Indies; China). Each directorate is now in charge of its own respective region and reports to the President in Paris.  Suriname and Guyana are merged into Greater Guyana,  and all islands in the American Directorate are merged into the Greater Antilles. Meanwhile, the rebellions are crushed with relative ease by the Kepi Blancs.
 * Spanish Dip: We demand to know the rationale behind France attacking us.


 * Serbia: Due to events in Russia we ban all Communist and Marxist political organizations though Communist and Marxist politicians can still run as Independents. We also grant Kosovo limited political and cultural autonomy.
 * Spain: Feeling more threatened than ever, Spain sends its Conquistadors to all of its colonial possessions to conscript the natives into military service. A national draft is also initiated, and troops and cannons are stationed along the border with Portugal. New forts begin construction on the French border to dissuade further invasions. We are still waiting on the GAT-01 tank plans fro Germany.
 * Brazilian Dip: We send ships to help you against France. Would you like to be in an alliance with us.
 * Spanish Dip: We accept.
 * Germany: With the French becoming stronger, and with their implementations of tanks as well, we develop the FTDV-17v, after many prototypes. It's a tracked, sixteen wheeled vehicle. It has a single rotating turret, equipped with a 57mm Anti-Tank gun, it is rhomboid shaped, and has a top speed of 20 kph. It also has a hull thickness of roughly 30mm. Another GAT vehicle is also made after two failed prototypes. The GAT-03t is its name. It's a now twelve wheeled tracked vehicle. Its 20mm cannon has been upgraded to a 30mm cannon, plus an MG-08 mounted in the turret. It's been put as a trapezoid shape, instead of the square shape of before. It has armor of 20mm thickness, and a top speed of 45kph. The FTDV-17v is manned by a six man crew: a driver, co-driver, first loader, second loader, commander, gunner. The GAT-03t has a driver, co-driver, loader, gunner. A batch of 100 of each vehicle is manufactured. They are put into the 1st Imperial Anti-Panzer Regiment, and the 2nd Imperial Panzer Regiment. Meanwhile, we threaten France to stop attacking Spain. The two Zeppelins in the Low Countries fly over northern France. We also give Spain the GAT-01 tank plans.
 * Spanish Dip: Thank you.
 * Siam:  Although uncertain as to the precise status of the Dutch East Indies following the accession of the Netherlands to France, Siam launches a final offensive against the Dutch. While the Siamese fllet decoys its Dutch counterpart toward Sumatra, Siamese troops land in North Molucca, clearing a path toward lightly held, poor Dutch New Guinea. Siamese troops land there as well, pushing east with the support of the brutalized New Guineans. These troops are under strict orders to avoid French troops, as Siam does not want a war with France. Meanwhile, Siam reorganizes its new territories into the Triple Alliance (essentially a loose federation), composed of the Monarchy of Siam, the Dayak Republic (Borneo), and the United Principlaities of the Celebes and Molucca (or Celebs-Molucca for short). Infrastructure improves across the nation, especially in the newly-occupied territories, improving health and transport services. The navy expands also, laying down a battleship and several cruisers to bolster its navy.  It also re-inforces its new territories with fresh troops and urges the Dutch/French to accept the Treaty of Djakarta
 * Brazil: We continue to drill for oil on our coast. Our scientists continue to work on a cure for malaria. With the growing tensions in Europe we send supplies to our allies of the Central Powers. Our military increases with the production of weapons being made. Our navy continues to build more ships. We send troops into Bolivia and Paraguay to influence them in the Brazilian way. With France fighting Spain we help Spain in the war and declare war on France. We send ships to Spain to refuel and help them against France. We win the war against the Republic of Arauca. The airplane and tank industries continue to receive even greater widespread support, and therefore investments.
 * Federal States of Greater Austria (FSGA): The new constitution is signed by the all provincial governments. We modify the GAT-01 Tank's blueprints, adapting it. The tank is now a seven ton, eight wheel track, rectangular vehicle, with a single rotating turret. The gun is a 40mm cannon. The crew is four: a driver, gunner, loader, and co-driver. It has a top speed of 27 kph. The armor is still 15 mm. It is named Leichtmotorgeschütz AA-01. Another, lighter version is drawn up. with a 3.2 ton weight, six wheel track, rectangular with a rotating turret. The gun is a 25mm cannon. The crew is smaller, without a co-driver and has a top speed of 35 kph. The armor is smaller, a mere 9mm thick. It is called Leichtmotorgeschütz AB-01. Both blueprints are drawn up and prototypes are created. The preparations improve the economy. We also ask Germany for the blueprints of their new vehicles, and we will of course give them our blueprints in order to improve them.
 * Portugal: The Portuguese military sees an increased rate of development, as a brand new structural defense program is introduced to protect the borders of Portugal and its foreign territory.
 * Venezuela: Humberto Gómez is arrested and deported to Columbia to be dealt with by Columbian authorities. The navy and army are improved while employment and the economy continue to grow. We finish repaying outstanding national debt from before 1908.
 * British Empire: Great Britain and all colonies improve military and infrastructure. (Sorry for short post, I am busy today.)
 * Russia: The military is mobilized to put down the revolutionaries.

 The Ukrainian War of Independence starts 

NOTE: All mod event revolutions need algos.
 * Brazil: We continue to drill for oil on our coast. Our scientists continue to work on a cure for malaria. With the growing tensions in Europe we send supplies to our allies of the Central Powers. Our military increases with the production of weapons being made. Our navy continues to build more ships. We send troops into Bolivia and Paraguay to influence them in the Brazilian way. With France fighting Spain we help Spain in the war. We send ships to Spain to refuel and help them against France. We win the war against the Republic of Arauca. The airplane and tank industries continue to receive even greater widespread support, and therefore, investments. We start to farm more and more due to our population increasing very quickly. A population boom is starting up.
 * FSGA (Federal States of Greater Austria): Production of the new tanks is set. We improve the infrastructure heavily, especially in Bosnia.
 * Ottoman Empire: we send naval support to the Crimean peninsula to help the Ukrainians. Our military and economy improve. The sultan says to limit the use of chemical weapons and to only use them in freight. (Sorry, couldn't post sooner)
 * Spain: Production of the GAT-01 tank begins in the war factories. Some of the tanks have their 20mm cannons replaced with Gatling guns to allow for better suppression tactics and anti-air capabilities. Many howitzers are retired and melted down to be used in the new tanks. Meanwhile, construction of forts along the French border continues, with the first forts being opened and manned, with several of the now-obsolete howitzers being stationed there permanently. Now in a stable position and with backing from Germany and Brazil, Spain feels a bit safer, but is still nervous about the rising tensions in the rest of Europe. Troops are withdrawn from the Portugese border to avoid inflaming the situation. Many of these troops are sent to Brazil and Germany to help reinforce their armies.
 * Argentina: Political support is offered to Spain and some primitive civil aircraft are made. As the Patagonian sheep industry grows, Immigrants from Europe cause a population boom as in OTL, 2.5% population growth 1917.5-1918.5. Many 20mm cannons, Gatling guns and howitzers are made.
 * Triple Alliance: The Alliance refreshes and resupplies its spread-out military. As a result, the military are able to deepen their control over the Moluccas. The first native troops are recruited in Siamese conquests, resulting in the expansion of the military. The battleships and cruisers are aborted and replaced with dozens of submarines, which are more within the capabilites of the country's technicians. Support, including training, is sent to Sulu. France and the Dutch are urged to accept the Treaty proposed by Siam.
 * Serbia:  Inspired by the events in Russia, Communist riots begin in several cities, including in Belgrade. the Government of Serbia declares martial Law.  Independence riots also happen in Kosovo.
 * Germany: We begin construction of the Hindenburg line. Meanwhile, the GAT-03ts and the FTDV-17vs are ordered for 1000 models. The GAT-01s are upgraded with some more plated armor, as well as an upgraded 25mm cannon, with a machine gun. The Hindenburg line shall stretch from the German-Swiss border, to the German-Dutch border. It shall be fitted with multiple bunkers, machine guns, artillery pieces, and cannons. The II Corps is assigned to man it, with roughly 44,000 men. The 1st Imperial Panzer Regiment, 2nd Imperial Panzer Regiment, 3rd Imperial Panzer Regiment, 4th Imperial Panzer Regiment, 1st Imperial Anti-Panzer Regiment, and the 2nd Imperial Anti-Panzer Regiments are stationed there as well. This is overall 600 tanks, 100 GAT-01s, 300 GAT-03ts, and 200 FTDV-17vs. This makes up the 1st Panzer Division. A German Expeditionary Force is created out of the XVI Corps, commanded by Lieutenant General Adolf Wild von Hohenborn. It comprises around 44,000 men. With him, he also brings 400 aircraft, and 200 GAT-03ts, and 100 FTDV-17vs. These are the multiple airwings, and the 5th & 6th Imperial Panzer Regiments, with the 3rd Imperial Anti-Panzer Regiment respectively. It sails down from Danzig to Barcelona, participating in fighting the French invaders.

The War is over.

Plus, you need an algorithm to prove you won.

Algo is on the talk page for the war I won, but I forgot that I already won and wrote that, sorry.


 * British Empire: All domains and colonies improve military and infrastructure. 


 * Ottoman Empire: Due to the rebellions in Russia, we try to influence them and help them gain independence. So, the Sultan commands an invasion to support the Georgian and Azeri rebels. We continue our support for Ukraine,as we send them more supplies. We ask Russia to give all nations that want independence, or occupied. 
 * Triple Alliance: The Triple Alliance improves its military. New artillery and rifles are sent to garrison troops and utilized to arm the new troops. More submarines are constructed. Fortifications are constructed throughout the alliance, especially in the Moluccas and Borneo. With the bolstered navy, Siamese submarines begin sinking all Dutch merchant shipping entering the remains of the Dutch East Indies. This begins to push the Dutch toward collapse.
 * FSGA: Mil and eco turn (too lazy to write it).
 * Spain: With additional troops and support from Germany and Brazil, Spain begins locking down its borders against the French, who by now are snarling like angry dogs at the door. The previous war with France and Britain, which ended with the Treaty of Le Havre that stripped Spain of its colonial possessions, has left a bitter taste in Spain's mouth and is pushing it closer and closer to snapping, never mind the fact that France and Britain attacked unprovoked. For now, the Caribbean Strategem is shelved due to more pressing matters in Europe. Spain demands the Treaty of Le Havre annulled and all of its colonial possessions back, or it will do something rash - very rash. Like invade, annex and lock down the shipping lanes in and out of Portugal. Spanish scientists, meanwhile, are hard at work researching warplanes, bombs, submarines, Zeppelins, and automatic rifles. During testing of mounting machine guns on biplanes, the bullets tear through the propellors, causing the plane to crash and the pilot to die. Spanish scientists eventually come up with the synchronization gear, which stops the propellor from spinning until the bullets have passed safely. Using the plans for the GAT-01 (I just learned the reference, nice one), several new tank models are created, including the S1 Isabella (replaces the 20mm gun with a howitzer), K1 Alvarez (replaces the bullets with grenades), P1 Brasiliano (two gatling guns that can be turned skyward to shoot down aircraft), and the G1 Cuba (replaces the 20mm gun with a pair of 15mm guns). Experimenting with rocketry using Chinese knowledge reveals that rockets can be used as deadly weapons. Expecting France to field tanks when tensions in Europe finally explode, Spain reverse engineers the old Chinese plans to create rockets made for war and not for fireworks or messaging. These rockets are expected be launched from steel tubes with a firing mechanism similar to a flint to light a very short fuse on the rocket to fire it off. The initial rockets aren't expected to be accurate, and therefore, will have to rely on a term that Spanish strategists came up with known as "splash damage" to cause damage to infantry columns. Tanks are likely to be large targests, so accuracy won't be much of a concern. On the health front, the influenza treatments are coming along with great success. The railways are now all standard gauge and freight is being exchanged with the French railway network. Spain begins shipping the tank prototypes to Germany for evaluation and also offers the models for foreign nations at very generous prices; marketers are very careful to add a clause stating that the tank will not be sold to France or Britain due to the unprovoked war.
 * Germany: We put Operation: White Horse into effect. Our armies roll across the Low Countries after a series of bombings, and artillery bombardment. The faster GAT-01s do well on roads and in urban environments, but are horrid in the bombed, and shelled fields. The GAT-03ts do well on roads and in cities as well, and are also better in rural environments. The FTDV-17vs are worse in urban environments, while doing very well in rural areas. The Hindenburg line is completed, and the troops roll into their positions on the French border. Our expeditionary forces beat the French out of Spain, and await on the southern French border. The war in the Low Countries is won, and we propose the Treaty of Antwerp.
 * Spanish Dip: Dude, the war's been over for a few turns now but it's a pleasant thought, and we appreciate any and all help in getting our armies ready to defend and eventually attack.
 * OE dip: We extend an offer for Spain to join the Central Powers, as they have been attacked by pro-allied forces.
 * Triple Alliance Dip.: We request that Germany, which now possesses the Dutch colonies, recognize our conrol over Borneo, the Celebes and Moluccas, and New Guinea.
 * Spanish Dip: We accept the invitation to join the Central Powers.
 * Russia: with so many nations revolting, our allies are requested to intervene on our behalf. Troops are moved into the Baltic nations to put down the rebellions, while more are allocated to out down the Ukrainians. The Finns are asked to negotiate for a treaty.

1918.5
''' Nova Aquila is discovered. '''

''' The Spanish Flu becomes a pandemic, over 30 million are killed. '''

''' German troops take over the Low Countries. '''

''' Revolts continue in Russia, while new ones occur in Austria-Hungary, and the Siam-controlled Dutch East Indies. '''

There is no Austria-Hungary, it's Federal States of Greater Austria.


 * Colombia: The populace is pleased with the new president Marco FIdel Suarez, establishing a Colombian nationalism not seen in a long time. We declare neutral in all European affairs.  Many in the country fear the Lucophone Brazilians after their sending of troops into the countries of Bolivia and Paraguay. This fear is further increased with propaganda spread throughout the nation, and many wish to become larger and stronger.


 * Germany: We continue to produce tanks and conscript men. The military is improved. We send more troops to the French border. With the Baltic States rising up, we send troops into their territories. We ask for help from Russia and Austria-Hungary to defeat them.
 * FSGA diplomacy: We send 10,000 troops to assist the Germans.
 * Russian Dip: We agree and thank Germany for the intervention.


 * Spain: Despite its best efforts, the influenza still somehow managed to spread and cause mass death. Vaccine development intensifies. On the military front, Spain is now a member of the Central Powers after France's brief war of aggression. Old tensions dating back to the 1500s are renewed, and Spain ramps up its defenses along the French border and deploys several of the new tanks, hoping to deter France from further invasion. King Alfonso VIII publicly denounces French president Raymond Poincare, accusing him of waging a war of aggression on Spain just because they didn't agree with how Spain was dealing with the natives in Africa, when France is very much guilty of the same thing. He also publicly sets fire to the copy of the Treaty of Le Havre sent to Madrid and declares that France, Britain and all of their allies will "crumble in the face of the German war machine". In the same speech, he praises Kaiser Wilhelm II's efforts in the Low Contries for preventing the Low Countries from being influenced by the French and British barbarians before they could strike. He also gives thanks to Brazil, Argentina and the Ottoman Empire for their support during their time of need, and sends aide and supplies to these countries as well as a gesture of goodwill. Alfonso ends the speech by burning pictures of Poincare and King George V, and also sends a stern warning to allies of France and Britain, and to the United States saying that "invading Spain would be a fatal mistake". Shortly after the speech, many, many young Spanish men enlist in the army, empowered by the words of their king. The first aircraft also take to the air to scout along the French border and fill gaps in areas where forts have yet to be constructed. Major urban development begins in Madrid, and the standard of living throughout the country begins to improve.
 * British Dip: Well, we are shocked by this unusual political manner. We tell Spain that we were simply aiding our ally in war and that we have no intentions of acting aggressively.
 * British Imperial Comminwealth: With Great Britain leading the reforms, the British Empire is re-modeled into the British Imperial Commonwealth, with Great Britain, the Domain of Canada, the Domain of Australia, and the Domain of New Zealand as the founding states. We offer aid to Spain to combat the influenza to hopefully repair relations between our nations. As part of these reforms, various territories are merged. Rhodesia is formed from North and South Rhodesia. Newfoundland and Gibraltar are merged with Great Britain and lastly, we offer to sell the Shan State (part of Burma) to Siam.  The Conscription Act of 1918 is passed in the Commonwealth, giving the government the authority to conscript troops from across the Commonwealth. We estimate that we could conscript nearly nine million men from across the Commonwealth.
 * ​Great Britan (Member state of the British Imperial Commonwealth) : Military and economy improve. Construction and testing of tanks and planes for the military continues. We begin to stockpile supplies in the event of war. Navy is improved in particular. Our navy remains the strongest on the planet, followed closely by the German Empire.)
 * ​British Raj: Military and infrastructure improve, with planes and tanks being tested for military purposes. Plans to convert the Raj into a domain begin.
 * Domain of Canada (Member state of the British Imperial Commonwealth): Economy and infrastructure are built up. We continue to export supplies to Great Britain.
 * Domain of Australia (Member state of the British Imperial Commonwealth): Economy and infrastructure improve. We send extra supplies to Great Britain to aid in the stockpiling process.
 * Domain of New Zealand (Member state of the British Imperial Commonwealth): Same as above.
 * Egpyt: MIlitary and economy improve.
 * Sudan: Economy and infrastructure improve.
 * Nigeria: Military and economy improve. Plans to convert the colony of Nigeria into a Domain begins.
 * Uganda: Military and economy improve.

 * Guyana: Same as above.
 * Sierra Leone: Same as above.
 * Belize: Same as above.
 * Jamacia: Same as above.
 * Virgin Islands: Same as above.
 * Federal States of Greater Austria: With revolts appearing in the nation, Franz Ferdinand decides that the problem has to be solved. After noticing where the centre of these revolts are, mass migrations are issued in order to separate different ethnicities in multi-ethnic regions, primarily Croat, Bosniak and Serbian regions. Die Ethnitzitätrechte are issued, giving all ethnicities the same rights, although banning ethnic-based organizations not previously approved by the central government in Austria. During a meeting of the highest officials from each regional government in the central government's building, Franz Ferdinand himself holds a speech: "Sicherlich, wir sind nicht alle Österreicher, aber wir sind alle Bewohner der Bundesländer von Groß-Österreich. Deshalb, sollten wir alle versuchen zusammen friedlich zu leben. Nicht für Macht, aber für uns selbst, und für unsere Kinder!". This segment is considered to be one of the most important parts of the whole speech, although the speech itself was concluded with a long applause from a supermajority of the attendees. News about this moralizing speech spread through the country quickly, causing the people to rejoice. In order to show that it was not just empty words, Franz Ferdinand issues increased funds towards the work on roads and spread of industry in all regions of his nation.
 * Venezueala: The army is improved, borders are made more secure, and the economy continues to be on the up. Malaria deaths have dropped 31% since the start of our malaria awareness and combat campaigns. We ask Colombia for a defense pact, where we will both defend each other in the event of an attack by Brazil.
 * Triple Alliance: The Siamese-led Triple Alliance expands the military, especially the navy, in order to defend its expanded conquests. Many subs are built, giving the Alliance increased control over the Seas around Borneo and Molucca. Furthermore, infrastructure in these areas expands, especially roads. Siam agrees to purchase North Burma. Siam is surprised by the revolts, given that it has reorganized the conquests in order to give previously autocratically-ruled peoples democratic representation and infrastructure. Siamese troops concentrate on consolidating control over Boreno, where local Dayaks are paid to help put down the Malay-led revolts. All ethnic Malays are expelled from Borneo, to the applause of the native population who had been treated as third-class citizens (after the Dutch and Malays) for years. In the Moluccas and the Celebes, local troops loyal to the government help put down the revolts, while the message that democracy and equality have come (not strictly true, as Siam's larger population still allows it to control the Alliance's direction) is spread.
 * Brazil: We continue to drill for oil on our coast. Our scientists continue to work on a cure for malaria. With the growing tensions in Europe we send supplies to our allies of the Central Powers. Our military increases with the production of weapons being made. Our navy continues to build more ships. We send troops into Bolivia and Paraguay to influence them in the Brazilian way. The airplane and tank industries continue to receive even greater widespread support, and therefore investments. We continue to farm more and more due to our population increasing very quickly. A population boom is continuing to happen. Some of the Spanish troops that withdraw from the Portuguese border to avoid inflaming the situation come to Brazil and join our military. We send medical aid to Spain, do to the fact of the Spanish flu starting up.

Scotland was rioting at this point, very different from revolting.

''' Ethnic Germans begin revolting against the Austrian government in the Czech area. '''

'''Ethnic Germans live in Austrian Bohemia, which is a semi-autonomous part, so they wouldn't be under any Czech jurisdiction, which really lessens their chance of revolting in Czech areas. -Sky'''

I meant that the ethnic Germans are currently in the country we call the Czech Republic today, why I called it the 'Czech area'.

''' Mussolini founds the Fascist movement in Italy. '''

 * Spain: With medical support coming in from Britain and Brazil, the flu begins to slowly but surely lose its grasp on the population. A formal apology is sent to Britain regarding its aggressive stance regarding its role in France's war of aggression, but still refuses to sign the Treaty of Le Havre, calling it "France's best opportunity to soften up Spain for invasion and annexation". Troops are sent to the Northern Portugal border to ensure the revolution does not spill over into Spain. On the economic front, ships carrying drilling equipment are sent to Brazil to assist in oil drilling. Meanwhile, the second phase of fort construction begins along the French border. Nearby, the airbases of the Spanish Royal Air Force begin construction. Spain also begins building airships for commerce. The Spanish Government nationalizes the shipping companies and creates Spanish Royal Lines, commissioning a fleet of new ocean liners for several routes out of Malaga to Frankfurt, Southampton (serving as a feeder for Cunard), and Rio de Janiero.
 * Brazilian Dip: We will back you up if France attacks you.
 * FSGA: Transylvania is sold to the Romanians for 1,750,000 (One million and seven hundred fifty thousand) krones and a military pact that obliges Romania to send at least 50,000 soldiers to aid the Federal States of Greater Austria in any battle for the next decade. The economy and military are developed to prepare for such possibilities.
 * Brazil: We continue to drill for oil on our coast. Our scientists continue to work on a cure for malaria. With the growing tensions in Europe we send supplies to our allies of the Central Powers. Our military increases with the production of weapons being made. Our navy continues to build more ships. We send troops into Bolivia and Paraguay to influence them in the Brazilian way. The airplane and tank industries continue to receive even greater widespread support, and therefore investments. We continue to farm more and more due to our population increasing very quickly. A population boom is continuing to happen. Some of the Spanish troops that withdraw from the Portuguese border to avoid inflaming the situation come to Brazil and join our military. We send medical aid to Spain, due to the fact of the Spanish flu is still going around in Spain. We also go to Britain saying that if France attacks Spain we will declare war of France.
 * British Dip: We will push for a peacful solution.
 * Ottoman Empire We colonize the rest of the Arabian peninsula (compare the Arabian peninsula to a shade of color to older maps of the similar type, the uncolonized lands are the same color) as we declare war on the Fascists of Italy. We think they are hiding in the Italian colony of Libya, as we invade the western part of the country. SECRET: we are awaiting when we can declare war on France, as we send 10,000 troops to Spain. 
 * Triple Alliance: The navy and the infrastructure continue to expand. More submarines are constructed to give the navy expanded control over the coasts of the Alliance. Harbours and roads are built in the underdeveloped territories taken from the Dutch, increasing these regions' connections to the rest of the world and thus their loyalty.
 * British Imperial Commonwealth: In order to ease the situation, we ask that Spain and France return to the negotiation table and we ask that France be more lenient with Spain.
 * ​Great Britain: Military and infrastructure are built up. We send further aid to Spain and Siam, deepening ties with these nations. As RIOTS continue in Glasgow, we mobilize the police force in the area. Meanwhile, we work on repairing the naval damage done in recent years.
 * Domain of India: Military and economy improve. As adminstration proves more difficult, it seems the British may split the domain of India into several smaller domains.
 * Domain of Kenya: Military and economy improve.
 * Domain of Nigeria: Economy and infrastructure improve.
 * Domain of South Africa: Economy and infrastructure improve.
 * Domain of Hong Kong: Same as above.
 * Domain of Canada: Same as above.

 * Germany We develop military. We prepare to invade France and Italy.
 * British Dip: We offer to aid in the invasion of Italy in exchange for Italian Libya.
 * German Dip: We agree to give Britain Libya.
 * Russia: We expand our military.

 * OE: We are majorly improving our chemical weapons program. We invade the island of Sicily for a base in the Mediterranean in the Great War. (Sorry for the short turn)
 * Brazil: We continue to drill for oil on our coast. Our scientists continue to work on a cure for malaria. With the growing tensions in Europe we send supplies to our allies of the Central Powers.

A population boom is continuing to happen. Some of the Spanish troops that withdraw from the Portuguese border to avoid inflaming the situation come to Brazil and join our military. We send medical aid to Spain, due to the fact of the Spanish flu is still going around in Spain. We tell Britian that we do not want to have a problem with you and we only want to help out our allie.
