Principia Moderni Treaty
From Emperor Pimpisara II of Hanthawaddy and its posessions to King of Sweden:

The current engagement our countries are in is coming to a halt and Hanthawaddy wishes to engage in a fair treaty. Hanthawaddy has captured most of Norway and Iceland, and it does not appear as if Sweden could regain those territories by fighting, so we wish that the territories be returned to Sweden through peace. The territories shown in red, Hanthawaddy wishes to keep. This includes Iceland and Finnmark as far as the Reisa River. Hanthawaddy will ensure that the traditional way of life of the areas are kept, and Sweden will have a say in how they are managed. Hanthawaddy will renounce claim over the area shown in green on the following conditions:


 * 1) Sweden allows Mons to settle islands off the west Norwegian coast, although the immigration is not to exceed 1,000 per year.
 * 2) Sweden favours Mon products in Swedish ports, allowing Hanthawaddy to account for 30% of the spice trade, and giving Mons living in Sweden privileges equal to those of locals.
 * 3) Sweden promises not to incite further violence in the territories of Toeh Ngoa Nyoing, and as a sign that the promise will be kept, Sweden presents three of its finest whales to Hanthawaddy each year via the port of Purongcham. Detectivekenny (Info; Talk)  19:09, July 31, 2011 (UTC)

American Empire
Greetings,

I was looking at your Imperialist America thing and would like to ask if I could be your other implausibility detector/grammar nazi as I am very OCD and great at both.

Sincerely,

PrinceofPrussia

Sure as long as you take a country and quickly!!

All the players are dividing up the big nonplayer nations and devouring them. But China is still open.

Yeah, I'll take China.

Mabe something could happen where the old Qing governement is pushed firther inland but never disapears like Taiwan(Republic of China) and what we currently call China(People's Republic of China or PRC)-2 chinas could exist-Qing China and Han China if the allies win, and Han china could be open to another player? I will propose a map later today. Qing China could stay its player but with a government-in-exile and mabe Han China could become a new nation? thoughts(respond on my talk page with the same headline please)

Hey, I was not here and I left Bobulgee in charge of the USA, and yet he did nothing, and you cant use your mod powers to win the war, I didnt do that, I am creating a second map game that currently is before the war, my country couldnt have been taken that quickly, its not right. DeanSims 19:00, August 22, 2011 (UTC)

I didn't use my mod powers to win at all. I merely blocked implausability from Russia, China and Austria. China at one point stated they were marching from the Urals to Oslo in one year!!!! I admit Bobulgee didn't take care of your country properly but your side was against Japan, Russia, France, Britain, Prussia and the Muslim Caliphate. We just hit one country at a time on all sides. Austria first, then China and finally the US. Scandinator 21:38, August 22, 2011 (UTC)

Axis vs Allies Revised

 * United Kingdom: The British declare war on the Soviet Union and Poland, and 200,000 thousand troops are sent to help Finland while the British Navy begins attacking ALL Soviet ships and much of its coastline cities. The UK response to the Soiets is that yes you were on the defensive, but how many other nations were on the defensive that you conquered, it is time to teach you communist scum what you deserve. Britain withfraws all penalties from Germany due to the Treaty of Versailes and other treaies thereafter, Germany is given the green light to fully mobilize its entire armed forces and navy to attack Poland asnd the USSR, of which all of European Poland and Russia will be ceded to it, the Baltic States, and Finland. The British Army invades the Soviet Union through Persia, and the army, numbering 200,000 men, begins to destroy the Soviet countryside and cities, hoping that Germany will launch an attack soon though Poland, draining more Soviet-Polish troops to another front.
 * You and I are now allies, I hope you will allow me to use your naval and air bases so I can attack Russia.

From Poland
From Corvin Szabolcs, aka Lech II, King of Poland to the King of Sweden

The engagement between Venice and Hungary is ending, but other is about to begin.I see that you are trying to take over Poland, and i have a offer to make to you.Before the war, you were an ally of Hungary.However, a Civil war (or war of succession, since the objective is simply overthrow him and replace him with me or the crown prince) looks like its about to happen in Hungary.The king is against the already-signed peace treaty between Venice and Hungary and this war proved itself as a disaster, and any more year of fighting would exhaust the remainder of the Hungarian army, and it would end in defeat, since he is terrible with tactics and a somewhat incompetent ruler.Since Hungary will declare war on you anyway, Poland proposes a alliance in trade for your help in overthrow the king of Hungary.Your army can use the Polish cities as a base.However, you won't be allowed any territorial gains on Hungary, but you can make Prussia (a only nominal part of our territory, since it is rebelling against the Polish crown)a vassal state, or part of your territory.--Collie Kaltenbrunner 11:24, September 10, 2011 (UTC)


 * Yes, but the alliance only will be resumed after Béla (the current king of Hungary) is overthrown, and the new king (not defined yet. but will be either Szabolcs or the crown prince András) is crowned, because he (Béla) will be at war with you.i suggest that you move your troops (secretly) in the end of 1653 and start to attack in 1654.--Collie Kaltenbrunner 12:13, September 10, 2011 (UTC)

Shanghai
Even if that were the case it wouldn't help. Between the massive population of the city and the flames, nothing is going to exist within probably 50 miles of the destroyed city. A slightly off airburst would take out the entire city anyways, too. Lordganon 15:13, September 14, 2011 (UTC)

Nope. Fires, Debris, and Radiation, with refugees worse than anywhere on earth. No survivors.

There is a strike recorded near Ningbo. Have a look at the China page. Not sure what it is, but I assume a naval base.

Not only would Hangzhou get a ton of radiation, but near as I can tell, it would get overwhelmed by refugees, given its proximity to strikes, and get raided by the Dragons, or those fleeing them. Unlikely that there's any real number of survivors.

Have a look at the China map on that article. It'd be your best bet to find anywhere you could manage something.

Lordganon 22:24, September 14, 2011 (UTC)

The area is regularly ravaged by the Dragons, various refugees and warlords, covered in radiation, and suffering from the impacts of three separate strikes. You're still talking about the area around Shanghai, where a nation, or even any large number of survivors, is just impossible.

Look at the map on http://althistory.wikia.com/wiki/China_(1983%3A_Doomsday) and think about it.

Lordganon 07:00, September 15, 2011 (UTC)

Radiation does not only go in one direction - sure, it is concentrated in one, but it goes everywhere. You're also completely ignoring strikes that will land radiation right smack on that area.

You have completely failed to get my point about the refugees, fires, warlords, starvation, and above all, the Dragons. All four factors mean that millions die.

Again, have a look at the map on the China page. Have a good, hard look at that area. It is too close to those strike zones, and is right in the path of radiation from the strikes on the Southern Coast. Within a year, combined with the other factors, you are looking at more than 95% dead, probably closer to 99%. Hangzhou would be almost entirely depopulated, far worse than the rest of the region. There is no chance of a state existing there.

With major cities, especially ones the size of Shanghai, you need to remember that a massive death zone surrounds them. The blast will level most of the city, and the fires will take care of the rest within hours. Those who survive flee, causing others to flee as they find them. It is a cycle that lasts for weeks, until enough die off to live. The figures from that are never pretty.

Lordganon 09:35, September 15, 2011 (UTC)

About the only area left on the map that another Chinese state could possibly work in is somewhere along the border between Guangxi and Guizhou. The radiation from the strikes on the capitals of those two provinces, as well as the city of Hanoi in Vietnam, would miss almost entirely.

Lordganon 09:44, September 15, 2011 (UTC)

You are still failing to get the point. The radiation is largely irrelevant.

The radiation would be unaffected by that storm, btw. Have a look at the maps. It did not get anywhere near the area in question until the 28th or so, when it was largely burned out, and when it did, the radiation had already set in or had yet to arrive in force.

It is too close to Shanghai, and the other blasts. All there is to it. I have now even gone out of my way to supply you with a location that works 100%.

Lordganon 10:28, September 15, 2011 (UTC)

"New China" doesn't really make much sense. They are still in China, after all. Guangxi is a Autonomous Region for the Zhuang people, it would probably be best to play that card for the name, identity, etc. of the state.

"Most" is definitely out, too. As would any control over parts of Hunan. Some influence outside of their area of control, as virtually all the Chinese states have, would work as going into parts - not most - of the three provinces, but the core territory would need to be along that border.

Lordganon 13:47, September 15, 2011 (UTC)

Probably, it would remain Guangxi. The state would still have a large Chinese population, have to think of them too.

A probable capital, btw, would be Hechi.

Dear Sweden. We have been watching the rapid Russian expansion and are incredibily concerned. We send an offer to join arms in the period between 1673 to 1682 where we will reveal ourselves. We are a current ally of yours as well. Sweden has the chance to gain huge advantages in land. We are also approaching the nations of Vietnam, Joeson, China (to hit Russia in the east) and Venice and Naples (to help you block Hungary, France and Anglo-Germany if they get involved). You have a vast territory open for possible expansion if you take this deal. Respond on this talk page if you are interested.

Ya, I'm confused, what are the trade routes you "missed" that gained Sweden a 10 point boost in stability? and you are only supposed to count stability every 5 years! not every Turn! So I am resetting the Stability things to their prior positions of 40 and 35 becasue for some reason Sweden ended up with more trade routes than Russia which I find very bizzareLxCaucassus 17:49, October 30, 2011 (UTC)

Hungary has 8 trade routes. There are land routes between Hungary and the following, Venice, AGC, Russia (via Lithuania), Russia (via Caucasians), Venice (Crusader States). Sea routes arrive at Naples, Tunisia and Libya.

Also the stabilty bonus for algorythms are calculated on an Excel spreadsheet EVERY year. I upload the full set of data every 5 as it takes a while. However I will input the current data into the algorythms.Scandinator

yes and they only take effect every 5 years when they are updated, so it doesnt change every year! you seem to change it whenever it is conveniant. Change it in 1705, then 1710 and so on, keep calculating it but it only takes effect on the 5th year, not whenever! and please define Russia's Trade routes pleaseLxCaucassus 21:07, October 30, 2011 (UTC)

Sorry if the last post is bit naggy and if it offended you a bit I didnt mean it but this is what I mean by trade routes: Russia has more than 9 trade routes and i find it strange that sweden has more(no offense), but on my own I could find these for Russia: Russia-Sweden(most probably very closed), Silk road, Russia-china trade, Russia-manchuria, Russia-Turik states, Russia-Kazakhstan, Russia-AGC/rest of europe, Crimea-Rest of europe ,Northeast passage, Oceania-Russia(via pacific), Russia-India(via pacific ocean), Africa-Russia, Canada/Novorossiya-Russia/Lithuania, North America-Africa, Novorossiya-Itsahagi/orthagi, India-Africa,Kazakhstan-India/Persia and so on…that’s more than 9 routes, 15 at least.If I tried I could think of some more.LxCaucassus 21:19, October 30, 2011 (UTC)

Nice Destroyer of worlds title BTW(im not being sarcastic, truely)LxCaucassus 22:21, October 30, 2011 (UTC)

Russia has 9 trade routes. there are 3 land routes with China, two with Hungary, two with Persia, one with each of the AGC and Hanthawaddians. Trade only occurs between player nations as NPN's are in isolation. Sweden has more due to the strategic economic positions of Scotland, Libya and the Netherlands. The Dutch were essentially the Venice of Northern Europe and with Libya opens many routes across Continental Europe and the Med. Sweden proper has only 5 trade routes with 3 from the Scots and Netherlands each and 4 from Libya.Scandinator

You are still forgetting about sea trade, you cant get to scotland without using a boat, you are only counting land routes you shouldnt count Scotland at all(except one with AGC), and who forgot about trade with Itsahagi? even if they are not in play they are still "Player nations" and if you are not counting sea trade LxCaucassus 11:08, October 31, 2011 (UTC)

you forgot about the Northeast passage, and by you logic of by country you should only have one trade route with each nation so your logic on that is bogus. I have 2 trade routes with Hanthawaddy(the colony and the northeast passage). I also trade alot with Itsahagi via Orthagi and the orthagians are basicaly dependant on trade with Russia for their economy, thats 3 routes right there that you "missed"LxCaucassus 13:30, October 31, 2011 (UTC)

"Soviet Union denies Baltikan offer to conquer China, since most of the chinese leaders are communists. Soviet Union secretely shows China the plan, offered by Baltika." Doctor261 12:06, November 10, 2011 (UTC)

Allies vs Axis Revised
"*Soviet representative arrives to your Chinese office.*"

"Dear ruler of China. I have brung you bad news. Baltika and some other countries are onto you, but I am here to defend your rights. Here is the plan *shows the plan*. It was offered by Baltika to split Japan and China into several parts. They offered this to me, but this just seems stupid. And since we have very similar ideologies, I will do everything to defend chinese and your rights.

And a little sidenote. Please keep this meeting as a secret. We don't want anyone to know about it, do we?"

"*Soviet representative awaits for Chinese leader's decision*"

Stability
One problem I have with the system is that most countries shouldn't have an "effective tax system." That means bureaucracy, with specifically appointed government workers sent to every village, field, and town, to collect a uniform value of taxes. This also implies strict punishment on tax enforcement among other things, and should be money and not crops. Just to avoid excessive controversy, I'm going to limit "effective" taxation to after industrialization stage 3 and only for highly centralized states. If I draw the line anywhere else then it would be too controversial. What do you think?

How is the map going? Detectivekenny (Info; Talk) 01:25, November 11, 2011 (UTC)

More problems I have:

1) War won in less than 5 years/Wars lasting five years: we don't really have any way of determining how long a war will last. Now that I think of it, winning wars should have 0 points, and lost wars should have 500*percent lost.  The reason you are fighting a war is to achieve a certain ends, and it has nothing to do with stability.  However, you might gain trade routes or other valuable commodities.

2) In general, people's stabilities are just getting bigger and bigger with no end in sight. We need to set a cap, or if you're up to it a curve, like maybe the logarithmic curve.

3) We should also differentiate not posting versus a non-improvement turn. The policy since the beginning of the game has been that not posting implies "minor economic improvement."  Thus, not posting can stay at -20, but expansion, military, etc. is usually very costly and should be at -50 per turn.  Posts that include large amounts of colonial expansion but nothing else will also be -20. Detectivekenny (Info; Talk)  19:21, November 11, 2011 (UTC)

Principia Moderni Swedish Civil War
Hey, I was wondering, what if we did a civil war between the Nobles and the Swedish King Karl XI? Mabe have the Danish military as a whole and some Swedish units pledge allegiance to Karl and then the others keep their allegiance to the Nobles? Russia will back Karl as, even if Russian Tsar Peter Has a grudge with Karl due to the previous war and Finland, Peter Despises the Nobles more. how about it, starting the Swedish civil war?-Lx (leave me a message) 22:54, November 12, 2011 (UTC)

RE
But they would have lots of stuff that they would need to buy from Naples to set up their new nation. They might go into debt for it, but they need to support themselves. But in any case, it would be easy just to say it was blocked, as they can't get through the Danish straights.

How does Sweden control all the Baltic? Anglo-Germany and Russia and Finland all possess Baltic Ports. Together, they could probably at least hold a trade route within the Baltic, even if Sweden could stop up the Danish straights.

The picture is from the video game folklore, and it is really cool. LurkerLordB 16:42, November 13, 2011 (UTC)

Response
It is very obvious that you are not being neutral with regards to anything on that blasted game that your nation is involved in. You may not think so, but it is obviously the case.

Simply put, your actions and behavior have violated the wikia rules on several occasions. I have warned you, repeatedly, to quit. You have not done so. The extent I have been lenient with you is unprecedented, simply because of your age, and that you think you are doing your "job." As stated before, one more step over the line and you will get a vacation - such behavior will no longer be tolerated. Kenny has had to tell you such things, too.

You are harassing and bullying the users of that game, and I am tired of it. Of that there is absolutely no question.

Those who consider themselves free of "bias" are almost never actually so. This is a proven fact.

If ending trouble on this site means losing a "valued contributor" then so be it.

Lordganon 00:29, November 14, 2011 (UTC)

I read what you said to LG too Scandinator. Although I do not regret what I stated (the accusations of bias themselves) I do apoligize if I phrased something in a manner far more harsh than it should have been (as I fear may have been the case). LurkerLordB 01:13, November 14, 2011 (UTC)

All I'm going to say is if we're going to start a huge Wikia-wide controversy, let's at least clear everything up with stability. While Scandinator was probably not completely objective with his stability and algorithms, it is also true that he likely tailored his own country specifically to meet the needs of the algorithm. It is probable that his own actions for his country represent his ideas of stability. So in a sense it is not bias, but appears as so. I'm going to review the stability algorithm once this is over.

@Scandinator, you're not innocent… You probably should not have invaded Finland, and there may be eventual consequences. But overall this thing is a huge headache… so let's not start a controversy. @LG I can handle the conflict as it is on the game, feel free to interject, but we can deal with "harassing and bullying" once this chaos is over with.

Fix Stability
You might have missed this, but I did not add that thing saying that we would just be using the stability curve until the algorithm was fixed on a whim Detectivekenny, under the Finnish, war, stated " The stability curve is 100% objective, so for now we're going to use it, until we can get an objective stability system." That means until you can get the stability thing to be objective, we will use the curve. Since it wasn't objective when he posted that (or else he wouldn't have done so) and since it hasn't been modified in any way since then, it is therefore still not objective. I think some ideas to make it more objective might be to remove the soil quality thing, since that doesn't seem like there is any direct scale to say "this place has good soil, this doesn't" and also maybe define the size thing as well. LurkerLordB 00:51, November 19, 2011 (UTC)

Incas
I don't think you noticed, but I posted that I wanted a small bit of the Incan Empire as well. Since China's main purpose is to get Argentina, I took a part of OTL Chile that was in the south. Also, I thought it a bit unfair for China not to have a pathway to the Atlantic, so I decided to give them a small amount of Swedish Territory in the south and give Sweden a tiny amount of chinese in the north.LurkerLordB 14:50, November 22, 2011 (UTC)

I haven't made the map yet, but my strategy is to take over the entire empire. The plan is to take the area around Cuzco. Since the area is hard to invade, we'll just have to starve the city. At any rate, I was hoping to have borders with some of the black areas, but I am not entirely unhappy with the map Lurker proposed. CrimsonAssassin 00:41, November 23, 2011 (UTC)

Personally, I think it would look the best to just give China all of of the Argentine part except the French area, and give Naples the Part right above the "L" bend, and then give Sweden the northern part around Cuzco, but I figured that Sweden wanted a pathway from the Pacific to atlantic LurkerLordB 02:59, November 23, 2011 (UTC)

West Africa
It would be unrealistic for the borders to have remained the same for so long and then to suddenly change all at once. It would be more realistic for them to have changed during the course of the game. What is concerning me, however, is your constant use of the phrase "leave it to me" in this situation. Every time this is brought up, you say the same thing again and again. This seems to show that you don't want anyone else's imput on what you do (other than Kenny's mandatory imput). Scandinator, it seems unfair for you to just take over what was my idea and not allow any of my ideas or Lx's ideas in. However, just recently you did begin to talk about it on the talk page after I made my remarks there, which I appreciate, but it did seem before as if you wanted to just take over the whole idea, having us all leave it to you, and then just do what you pleased.

Second Swedish Civil War/ War of Swedish Sucession
I would definitely not want to be in your place right now. It's just shameful that our fellow users have plans to divide Sweden amongst themselves while you are still playing. And while I will not get directly involved in your civil war, let me assure you that you have a near-infinite amount of Vietnamese volunteers to help you defeat the warring factions. Would you be able to accept a Swedish Republic? It would be free of undue Vietnamese influence, which is more than I can say about the rest of the players involved.

Scotland
You cannot retake Scotland! That was the agreement, that Scotland would remain totally independent. Remember, you can't do anything now without Galaguerra's approval, as he now controls your government, and his king, who is also king of Sweden, pledged to allow Scotland to remain independent. Furthermore, the Scots are not going to rejoice to be dominated again, they just fought a war for independence. This would be like The American Congress voting to rejoin Britain, totally ASB. That's why I am striking your post down, because it is totally implausible.

This is just like when you abused your moderator powers to attempt to get Prussia to break away from another player nation right after you lost it by a treaty, or when you defied a moderator action to attempt to gain Finland back after being punished by losing it. You need to accept the fact that Sweden will sometimes lose territory, and you need to respect the agreements we reach on the talk page. It's no fun playing the game with someone who just ignores all of our agreements whenever they cause his nation to lose territory. If Sweden just keeps conquering land after land and never loses, it will end up like what you did on Imperial Europe 2. LurkerLordB 22:28, December 18, 2011 (UTC)

Taiwan-Guangxi Relations
What communist nation is this in particular, one thats already made or one that your planning to make? If its based out of Jiangxi or Fujian, especially Fujian, I would have to say that maybe you should look for another area for your nation as canon. Canon dictates that this was pretty much a disaster area and was under some pretty uncivilized regimes. If its a state based further inland in southern China or another SouthEast Asian state I'm interested in your proposal and working with you but Taiwan would definitely be hostile, maybe not physically but this "expedition" would likely get a staredown from the Taiwanese. They claim all of China sans Tibet already, but southern China is definitely their backyard even outside their official borders.

Nevertheless I'd be interested to hear your ideas and please contact me. I will be posting this on both your talkpage and mine but I'd prefer if we talked in this one. Arstar 04:37, January 5, 2012 (UTC)

Sure, lets discuss it on my page.

LG recommended the location to me. I have started work on my Guangxi article. It is near Yunan and claims five of the Chinese provinces; Gunagxi, Guangdong, Hunan, Guizhou and Sichuan. Its communist but moving away from that, when the supreme leader dies the state will become a technocracy. I have loose control over half of Guangxi and Guizhou and part of Hunan.Scandinator

For the record, Scan, Kenny has no say in Macau's affairs. Lordganon 07:35, January 5, 2012 (UTC)

It's Arstar's article. If he's not around, talk to me about it. Lordganon 08:12, January 5, 2012 (UTC)

Thanks LG for offering to help. To Scan, I would size it down quite a bit. Don't build nations by provinces but rather by the towns you are going to have rule the rest. If you could make a map that would be great. Meanwhile I think that all of the Chinese nation editors (including you) should get together to discuss the future of the region since progress on it has been slow moving after 1983DD's recession around January '11. All I'm going to say is that In terms of my two nations in the area "Imperial China" and Taiwanese China" I think that Taiwanese China might get all land-claimy but the Imperialist China might form an uneasy alliance with Guangxi so long as they are anti-Soviet. Arstar 20:45, January 6, 2012 (UTC)

Considering I created the nation, and Yank and Arstar built a basic frame article, then Kenny wrote 90% of the content, I think its unfair to say he has no say in the article considering both I and Yank support Kenny.Oerwinde 00:49, January 8, 2012 (UTC)

Re:Doomsday Tibet and Yunan relations with Guangxi
Well, I believe that they would not be hostile to them, as they do conduct trade with Nanchung and the Dragon State, so having a fellow communist government next to them wouldn't hurt. They'd probably try and convince them to join their "War with the USSR", though.--Vladivostok 09:18, January 5, 2012 (UTC)

Well, I thought I was done with 1983: Doomsday… I have only a narrow band that Arstarpool allowed me to edit within Macau, so you would have to ask him, if he is even active…  But as self-proclaimed Chief of South Chinese exploration, I will take an educated guess. Macau is willing to create relations with the nation, as Macau can provide valuable outlets for trade in return for raw materials and food. The politics would be very interesting, though, given the diverse parties. I leave you to be creative, just don't stray too far off the article.

Why are you so possessive of the moderator events?
Scandinator, I am recently becoming upset with your behavior once again, but I don't want to start anymore fights, so I want to resolve this peacefully for once. First off, you are not in charge of the moderator events in Principia Moderni, you have no more authority over them than any other moderator. Yet you appear to be very possessive over the moderator events that occur in the game. First, you have now twice changed my posts, without even giving any reason for or even mentioning it beneath it, which should be a common courtesy''. ''Furthermore, you now have recently begun adding them hours in advance to make sure you get to add them first. I'm tired of you doing the vast majority off the moderator events and controlling all of them, and now you control stability and industrialization and the algorithm as well, you just control too much, it seems like you are in charge off everything. That's why you get into so many disputes with other players, it's because anything anyone does is somehow connected to you Can't you please let some other moderators do some things? And at least leave a comment when you change other moderator's posts so it doesn't look like you're doing it for no reason? LurkerLordB 22:03, January 13, 2012 (UTC)

Also, the reason Prussia would be seperate would be for cultural reasons. Mazovia was never part of Anglo-Germany, they would have recieved no English culture like the rest of Germany, and any cultural changes that occured Anglo-Germany wide would be lost. Furthermore, the northern part was ruled by Japan for more than a century. Massive Japanese cultural diffusion would have occured, including that entire region being heavily Schmittist. Many other aspects of Japanese culture would have been absorbed as well. Furthermore,  after Japan lost control, Sweden took over, so they then may have absorbed a small amount of Swedish culture from that brief period (not enough to give them any loyalty to Sweden after so many years though). Finally, Anglo-Germany did take over, but by then Prussia would culturally be no closer to the rest of Germany than the Czechs and Swiss would be, perhaps even less so due to the extremely foreign nature of Japanese culture. Neither the Czechs nor the Swiss would be able to control parts of Germany that are not dominated by their culture, especially if the German parts of their nations outnumbered the Czech/Swiss parts. Your current situation has Prussia controlling an area which outnumbers it, yet possesses a culture with vast religious, cultural, and perhaps even language differences (as Prussian may now be a combo of Japanese and German). They would be unable to control that territory, and it would break away and join either Brandenburg or Saxony.

Plus, Brandenburg was Zagoria's nation. If he did come back post break-up, it seems that it would at least be nice to give the nation he controls a seaport so that he isn't totally surrounded and landlocked. Furthermore, having a superlong, skinny Prussia like that just looks ugly in shape. Why would they have that tiny length to the Atlantic Ocean? I can see how you, not considering cultural differences, would have them take over north Brandenburg, but why that narrow strip to the Atlantic? It just seems strange, and it would make more sense for the unique Prussian culture to break away to form their own nation of just them, just like the unique Czech and Swiss cultures did when they broke away. Imagine the Swiss controlling all of Austria and Bavaria. It just doesn't work. LurkerLordB 05:00, January 14, 2012 (UTC)

Stability List
I know you said you had trouble with the table formatting (with the visual mode edtting of tables half-broken and the source mode really complicated, I can see why) so you said you weren't going to post the stabilities of the nations, however, this makes it hard to estimate whether or not it is feasible to enter a war, or whether or not your nation is about to collapse into revolts. You don't have to do a table, you can just make something like: Example: Or, you could put them on some other site, but it's invonvenient to be inable to make our own algorithms. I'll even make a table if you want me too and give me the numbers. LurkerLordB 22:34, January 17, 2012 (UTC)

Say, what would my stability be in 1801, assuming that every year until then I build up my military and industrialize more due to having to increase production for the buildup and have no more expansion?

About Finland and Kola
The new Emperor of France and King of Sweden, August I Harold, asks the Chancellors of Sweden and its colonies for a confirmation of their loyalty. He also questions how will a war with Kola benefit the Parliament and the Crown? He also says that, if the war is fought and Finland is conquest, it must remain as a independent state under the Emperor (who will be Grand Prince), as Sweden. --Galaguerra1 22:48, January 18, 2012 (UTC)

Ok, I thought so and I diceded I will support you in your campaign to conquest Kola and Finland, but you msut support the campaign of Burgundy to conquest Lombardy and let me conquest Wales for myself. --Galaguerra1 19:39, January 20, 2012 (UTC)

Say, how long is Sweden going to remain under the rule of the French King? For it will take some planning as to who gets what new territory gained. LurkerLordB 22:20, January 20, 2012 (UTC)

If Sweden&France will promise to help Naples in the war against Malaysia and not get any territory, Naples will help them in this war with no plans to get territory (or, you can give me something in this war and I'll give you something in mine, but I prefer the first offer). Anyways, we should not help Poland in their war, and then wait right afterwards for Russia to beat them, then when Russia has the lowest stability due to the war draining their CSS and their expansion penalty, we attack them at their weakest & take them out. Helping Poland is a lost cause. LurkerLordB (Talk) 02:58, January 23, 2012 (UTC)

Naples, my 2 vassals, and Israel will all join in the war to help Sweden, that give you +9. My main goal is to take out the Malays. Getting more of the Dravidan-speaking parts of Swedish India would be good too, but getting help with Malaysia is more important. LurkerLordB (Talk) 03:46, January 23, 2012 (UTC)

Puppet States on Principia Moderni
Hey, can I get a reason why you think the current system is superior to any of my alternatives? Because the current systesm is really unfair, a user with 1 vassal state is penalized as much as a user with 2+3 puppets. Every other factor into war, good or bad (expansion, military buildup, amount of allies, etc.) all depends on how much of the factor there is or has been. The vassal/puppet state negative is the only thing which has absoutely no change based on amount. Plus it is open to abuse. I don't really care what alternative there is, but why is there such a big support for not changing the system? I don't get it. LurkerLordB (Talk) 01:24, January 29, 2012 (UTC) I don't see why 2 would be so dificult to implement, just for the war (not for the purposes of nation collapse or whatever) subtract the number of vassals/puppets from the total score they get from stability. Or, even better, just not put it with stability at all and have a seperate line in the algorithm for "number of vassals (-1 for each vassal)" which the number would be put (it would have the same effect, and probably be easier to keep track of). Would that change be enough? LurkerLordB (Talk) 02:03, January 29, 2012 (UTC)
 * 1) Good Point, I hadn't really liked this one after thinking about it.
 * 2) Each puppet adds +2 on military, this subtracts -1 for each puppet. So basically what this does is halve the benefit you get from the puppets.  So I don't see why it would be equating to instantly losing, unless you got so many you had less than 1 stability, and since that would be like 20 puppets, that's the problem I'm trying to fix.
 * 3) The point would be to make people make less puppet nations, so if they wanted territory from the black portion they would have to not have as many puppet states.
 * 4) I agree it is probably unrealistic, it was just a prior way to manage large numbers of puppets so I thought I'd include it.
 * 5) THe one I'm trying to delete.

Oh, sorry. I did not know that. Sure, you can take it. Enclavehunter 15:11, February 1, 2012 (UTC)

Yes, I noticed he had let you - but quite frankly, despite your declared intentions, you never adopted the page - he did - so you had nothing to stand on.

Anyhoo....

Yes, I'm aware how large they are - cities in the Americas are the same way. Though the only one of the three that would have much of anything left is Sydney. The other two really aren't that big.

Something in the 400kt range is probably good for all three cities - but don't mention any specific sizes like that. Heck, from what I can remember, the Soviets really didn't have many, if any, that size.

A blast that size would probably eliminate an area about 7-10km on all sides, nearly outright.

There are a few factors you're missing, mind.

First, strikes like that set fires. Tons of them. Much of the remaining city would be burned out. Have a look at maps from Hiroshima and Nagasaki for more on this. This will be made worse by a lack of power, and water, to fight them. Even bringing in outside help will only do so much - they are really going to have to burn themselves out, mostly.

Each strike actually causes EMP damage, though localized. Most of the power, and other wired things, in areas directly adjoining the blast zones are going to be damaged, if not down.

Fallout lasts for weeks, not only one day. And the blasts themselves will screw around with the winds a little, too. Add to that that most fallout is actually deposited by higher altitude winds - at most, you'll be able to find out the surface ones. Plus, there will be large areas on the surface that are radiated through the blast, too.

Far as I can tell, in Perth and Sydney, the wind will blow the majority to sea. Melbourne, it will largely go to the sea too, though areas inland and to its northeast will be effected. Either way, bet on the vast majority of fallout going whichever way the winds normally blow.

Add the impact of people fleeing, too.

Towns like you're talking about just aren't possible, all things told. In addition to the 7-10km, add about the same for the fires and general chaos, though this will vary greatly depending on the territory. Most of the urban areas will burn, even if beyond this, though that is not 100%. And, downwind, you'd have irradiated land that would extend this even further.

For instance, of the two satellite cities you quote, only one would be at real risk of burning, etc. From what I can see, Sutherland is separated from the rest of the urban area, except for a bridge - it would escape the fires, by and large. However Blacktown, while further away, is connected through an urban environment, and thus far more vulnerable to all of these factors.

Lordganon 15:56, February 3, 2012 (UTC)

You've got to remember, though, Scan, that we're talking about 1983, not the present. Roads like that are a fairly new convention.

Doubtful that they would stop the fires, if they'd been built, which as I said, I doubt. Slow down, yes - but not stop, by any means.

Spared the radiation, maybe. But the winds will do nothing to the fires, all things told.

Scan, you're talking about three massive hits to the infrastructure. The entire water system in these areas is going to be more or less gone. You see, fire equipment needs water pressure in the pipes to function. This pressure is going to be largely non-existent in the days after DD, especially closer to the blast zones.

Add to that, the thing that would suffer most from EMP damage is actually the power lines. They will get shorted out far further than any other damage occurs. For instance, during Soviet atmospheric testing in Siberia, EMP damage to electronics only happened inside a certain radius. Yet, power lines got shorted out by current from the blast passing through them in Central Asia.

Now, I'm not saying it'd be remotely that bad, here. But there's going to be damage from that, though by no means even at all, for pretty well the 30-50km radius you describe.

Basically, the few surviving areas of Perth - it's actually small enough so this won't be much of anything - will avoid the fallout, but get the fires. Yes, people will survive. But almost no buildings will remain very habitable.

My estimates for Sydney would have an absolute blast radius - i.e. pretty well nothing left - of about 10km from where the bomb hit. This would remain entirely impassible today. Depending on terrain and surviving infrastructure, the fires will go anywhere from 5-20km beyond that. My guess, the flames will get stopped before Blacktown, but not by much. The evacuation zones around there would more than likely include that particular one.

About the closest I can see them letting people stay are the towns of St. Marys, Prestons, and Sutherland (along with the little towns around them)

And, remember that the ANZC article even talks about these areas being more or less abandoned, with new cities being built to both replace them and house the survivors/evacuees.

Sorry for taking so long to respond, was a massive amount of edits to go through, comment on, etc. and was busy last night and yesterday afternoon, lol.

You can find the simulator we use around here at this location.] Fair warning: There are limits on what it can do, and what it shows, which are in sections below the simulator itself, that you need to read first. Last thing I want is another argument with someone over that stuff.

At most, they would have an hour to get to a shelter before the blast - and given all things, probably more like 10-30 mins. You'd be lucky to get a thousand in there, quite frankly, before it hit. And after it hit.... well, there's one aspect of those things most people miss: if there's a direct hit, they are pretty useless. Not only that, but they have to survive until help arrives, and be able to get out - both of which are far harder than you'd think. Add to that that it appears to be right under the region where I'd expect ground zero to be - they're gone.

Looking at a map of that road, in the west it will definitely mark some sort of boundary in some spots - it's about as far as I figure the fires would get, and not even that far in some spots. There's places that it look like it would cross over, too - wooded areas on either side, etc. that would catch from embers, which would be a worry all over, quite frankly. Same goes for any spot it can go over or under (bridges, etc.) In the east, the blast radius itself would go over the road, and the fires spread beyond.

Sydney, and most of its suburbs, would be destroyed. The southernmost, and westernmost of them would have a chance. But the rest, pretty well gone. The government would have evacuated the remaining ones for a couple of weeks, too, minimum. I also expect that this blast would be larger than the other two, as well, given that the city is so much larger.

Melbourne, definitely gone.

Well, the simulator's blast site in Perth - nothing to do with the city, the sites are pretty arbitrary in it, so remember that too - is northeast of where it would have probably went off. Likely, it would have been aimed for the harbor regions, causing waves that make its effects worse. As noted, it's northern areas and suburbs are pretty well gone. To the south.... well, the suburbs are going to get burned out, by and large. Really, 95% in this context... you may as well say 100%, because the answer's basically the same. By my guess, in the region you're not going to see any settlements closer than Rockingham.

Lordganon 02:25, February 6, 2012 (UTC)

Well, that'd be assuming that they really got any warning. I can tell you right now that they didn't. And that such things never work as they are planned. 15m down would still be a risk from the ground burst, quite honestly, given the location.

You're missing, however, one of the things I said: that would be more or less ground zero for the blast. The entrances would be blocked off, likely fused shut. Whatever's above, severely irradiated. Even if the entrance is, by some miracle, still unblocked, they'd never be able to leave without dying - and even if they could not die nearly instantly, they'd never get out of the radiated zone. Nor would anyone be able, even in suits, to get to them. Radiation would get them even if they stayed put, too.

It's the biggest problem with such shelters, really. While good in theory.... ones in hit cities like that, if under where ground zero is likely to be, will just kill anyone inside. All that will happen is it takes longer. Those ones are only any real use for actual fallout, not the blasts themselves. It's kinda like that "duck and cover" bit - useless in a blast, good for some of the aftereffects.

There's still enough population to have the states. Moreover, canon has said for a long time that they all still exist.

Lordganon 09:37, February 6, 2012 (UTC)

More so, I'd say the subway station(s) would be fused shut in some form like that, and blocked off with debris besides. Of course, getting into the last little bits of the stations would be lethal, but that's ignoring that aspect.

That area of Sydney is going to be irradiated, even too much for access with suits, for a few decades still. Their story will be a long time coming, I'm afraid.

You can't control other players' nations!
Toeh Ngoa Nyoing and Iceland are both nations controlled by Hanthawaddy, thus they are player nations. Stating that they agree to join with your nation is controlling another player nation to an unnacceptable extent.

Hey there, this is Prussia. I was going to declare war on Brandenburg in hopes of expanding my nation as well as attempting to remove the threat that the current King of Brandenburg currently holds on Central Europe.

Your hypocritical actions towards RWG
You attacked RWG for expanding without the algorithm and for having strange religious combinations in his nation. However, Sweden is by far the worst offender of these two cases in the whole game. Sweden has expanded and vassalized nations without the algorithm numerous times, many without even a few years of build up prior to the vassalization: In addition, for almost all of these nations, there was no civil disarray, and there was precious little in-game build up. RWG only expanded through vassalizing portions (not even the entirety) of nations which had been plunged into civil war for years. He devoted turns and turns in the game to sending aid to these nations. He then devoted turns and turns after he gained them to incorporating them further into his nation (while Sweden just gained the territory then never said anything else). His expansion was much more reasonable than your own. Furthermore, Sweden rules over a hodgepodge of religious minorities as well In conclusion, you have done much, much more annexation and vassalization without the algorithm than RandomWriterGuy has. Sweden has been gobbling up territory this entire game without having one algorithm except for when dealing with player nations. Your religious differences are almost as intense as his as well. You possess no right to start numerous moderator revolts against him, for such actions are nothing short of hypocritical. I hope you can see how RWG has done nothing that you haven't done a hundredfold. Note that I am not stating that I am totally innocent of having strange religious occurences and strange vassalizations, just that you have the greatest extent of such things so it makes no sense for you to attack RWG for it.

The only places where he expanded without the algorithm were in East Yemen and north Brunei. He tried to expand without the algorithm in India, but we made him use the algorithm. He hasn't actually done anything in the UAA areas yet. They are far away, so that is why Collie has them the lighter color on the map, they are puppet states so he'll get -2 on algorithms for them.

Christianity and Islam are converting religions. They believe that their path is the only existing path to heaven and that their goal must be to convert as many people as they can. That is why they convert and destroy so many older belief systems and religions. Buddhists (at least historically) sent missionaries for converts, but Buddhism would merge with the old beliefs and not just replace them. With the exception of the Hare Krishnas, most Hindus do not really convertLurkerLordB (Talk) 12:23, February 29, 2012 (UTC)

Really, Persia hasn't gained that much territory without the algorythm. North Brunei only is about the size of Wales, and East Yemen, being mostly desert, probably has the same number of people living in it. The UAA is a thing of the past, Adal is really the only former state in which he has a chance of stabilizing (through siding with the Christian faction there). LurkerLordB (Talk) 23:03, February 29, 2012 (UTC)

Lurk is right about everything. I mean LOOK AT THAT LIST: I didn't even vasslaize that much nations! Also, anyone attacking Persia (unless they're pretty close) will still have a hard time trying to invade me. I mean, I'M NOT TRYING TO INVADE! Vassalization is a peaceful process. I haven't declared war (but onyl joined wars) on anyone, and YOU SAID THAT I HAVE A LOW STABILITY SCORE.

My country has religious fredom. YOU CANNOT SAY THAT I DON'T.

Also, any nation can be vassalized regardless of distance, though the bigger the distance, the longer the vassalization process takes.

If this is some sort of vendetta aginst me, you're going to confess! If I feel bullied from trying to play this game, then SHAME ON YOU. RandomWriterGuy 23:18, February 29, 2012 (UTC)

"You may have vassal states subordinate to your nation, but contiguous to your nation. They are ruled by your first nation's government, but are allowed to keep their own interests. You may have up to two vassal states, and they are in the category of colonies. Size rules do not apply, nor do limits on the number of total colonies, except within plausibility." From the rules page, this means that vassalizing Brunei and Yemen or the UAA is illegal for Persia. Scandinator ( talk ) 05:13, March 1, 2012 (UTC)

Yemen and Brunei are currently being counted as puppet states, hence their color on the map. Anyways, it would be a lot easier to demonstrate why Persia's stability was so low if we had a table... (Hint hint) LurkerLordB (Talk) 12:06, March 1, 2012 (UTC)
 * Vendettas require numerous incidents over time, this is nothing like what Kunarian did to Yank or something like that. You do have a low stability score, on account of your government being really old and you having expanded quite a bit. LurkerLordB (Talk) 23:31, February 29, 2012 (UTC)

I wasn't even trying to expand by war! I was trying to expand peacefully! WHy does that have a toll in my stability?! You didn;t have to face this, and yet you have so many vassals! RandomWriterGuy 01:34, March 2, 2012 (UTC)

The real reason your stability is low is that it has been 150+ years since you last had a government change. Having a government change would allow your stability to start increasing again, and erase expansion prior to the government change. Scandinator doesn't have to face that because his government changes have erased some of the expansion toll. All of yours since you first started playing have been compounded together. LurkerLordB (Talk) 01:37, March 2, 2012 (UTC)

You may not take the Toeh Ngoa Nyoing region without my permission. But I will make a deal with you.

I need the ABC islands, and the territory as far east as OTL Carabobo province. But seriously, I never said you could take the country without my pemission.

Australia
Hi, Scan, I just wanted to offer a few words of encouragement. It took guts to challenge the established story line on Australia and the resulting ANZC of 1983DD. I did a check on PM Hawkes and September 26th. It is certain that he was indeed in Perth on the 27th (OTL) watching the pre-breakfast coverage of the race of the America's Cup (the sudden death race having been made necessary on the 23rd local time). It is logical to assume that he had been there on holiday, but he is on record as being in Perth that morning. Would he have flown there just to watch the scheduled race on television? He probably flew in the week before, being on vacation like the rest of parliament. This information is crucial and will mean a bit of rewriting, to say the least.

Since Parliament was not sitting, and state assemblymen were not in session then even if the PM had flown on holiday on Monday (OTL), he would have arrived sometime mid-day after the bombs fell in TTL. Assuming he was in route, things would be a lot different even then. In the chaos (assuming for a moment that most of Parliament did not go home on holiday) getting things in order would be a monumental task for the Hawke government -- almost as chaotic as what Bush was facing at the same time. As I write this, I am sure you are working on your defense of your challenge. I will leave you to it, then, and wish you well. SouthWriter 21:23, March 30, 2012 (UTC)

Hi again, Scan. I answered your response to the above over at my talk page (it's a lot simpler for me to keep up). However, I think I will use this space to once again offer you encouragement. I see that Ganon is accusing you of having a bad attitude for just disagreeing with him. He reads your emphasis of words like "major" and "feasibility" as violating some rule about "tone and attitude." I don't see it that way, but I too have been accused of such, and worse. It may be that we cannot notice attitude problems when we have them, but one would think that goes both ways, huh?

At risk that Ganon is reading this, I will say this anyway. He is as capable of making "bad assumptions" as any of us. His degree in history gives him an edge, of course, but his assumptions are just as fallible as any of ours. You will have to back your statements when making claims or they will be batted down as foolishness. With Ganon, his authority stands on its own, but if you want to challenge what has been accepted, you need to have a strong case going in. "Likely" does not get very far in this genre. Sure, the battle cry coming from Ganon has been "when in doubt, nuke it" and its corollary, "if in doubt, they're dead,' but when it messes with canon material, you cannot kill off folk that easily. I found out a few months ago that one of my favorite characters was most probably not safe on Doomsday. I could have "saved" him, but only one of his possible locations was safe. If I had saved him, he would not have been in a place that would have lead to where he was placed, so he's gone.

That being said, it can be stated with some surety that governors would be living in their mansions and those mansions are near the center of the capital cities. Would they be home or at the capital buildings? They might surely escape more easily than the general public. The same goes for the PM and the GG, they would get warnings and get out of town if they could. However, they may not have had more than about 30 minutes warning. What can be stated, though, is that the government would be scattered. This is going to mean some major changes in the story as Brian has built it up at the main "Commonwealth of Australia and New Zealand" page. If the bulk of the leadership can be saved, then I'd say save them. The story, though, will have to get them back to the capital. The storming of the Soviet Embassy there will be a continent away for many of the politicians when this happens. This far along, the less you change, the better. This is what has been established as QSS and QAA. Without really good, even ironclad, evidence, it is better not to change what is written. And the reasons for changing assumptions should be just about as good.

What has been written in this case was probably written on bad assumptions. No thought to spring break was made, for sure, and the coincidence of the America's cup was not dealt with at all. These are big problems, and need to be dealt with. But a total remaking of Australia is probably out of the question. --SouthWriter 03:18, March 31, 2012 (UTC)


 * I think the issue you raised is very interesting and I look forward to seeing what you find. We should always keep an open mind about adjusting or changing canon when it can be shown it is based on inaccurate information or flawed assumptions. That said, I have a suggestion if you have not already pursued it. Go to the library and look at copies of newspapers from September 24-27, 1983 for Perth, Sydney, Melbourne, and Canberra. Likely they would be on microfilm. This should help to plot or narrow down movements of people. I have done the same thing using newspaper archives online and at the Library of Congress in DC near where I live. It can be tedious research but very helpful in working on a article or supporting your thoughts. Good luck.--Fxgentleman 15:32, April 1, 2012 (UTC)

First, I apologise for indenting your comment without your permission, Fx. It makes it easier for me to follow the change in speakers in the string. Microfilm is a pain for most of us, for sure. Microfiche, where available is quite preferred. You are blessed to have access to the Library of Congress, and I, for one, l appreciate your due diligence in research. This is what it's going to take, though, to combat the notion that QSS is sacred. This is especially true since we have established the concept of "canon." In religious circles that is the ultimate in sacred material, and it seems that it is in the DD time line as well. "Heretics" are never welcome when the "gods" have spoken. I speak only partly in jest, but with the consensus of editors, this is the way that the collaborative effort of 1983DD works.

Right after I began editing I conceded that the accepted material seemed "wrong" in places, but I decided that I could work around almost anything in the interest of a good story. I have since tried hard to see things from new editors' points of reference giving preference, as I think about it, to those editors that live in the area being discussed. I even assumed wrongly, in the beginning, that 1983DD was mostly the work of Australians and South Americans. It just made sense to me. I know of two Brits who have contributed heavily to their home region, and Canadians that have dealt well with their nation. There are several South Americans as well, but you are the first Australian to offer your thoughts. I am sure that your knowledge will be quite valuable as we keep this time line alive.

Anyway, to my point, I concur with Fx. We cannot depend on "deals" to fix the time line. If you think Hawke was killed, you have to have him in the path of the bomb or its resulting fire storm by verifiable data. We know where he was on the morning after in OTL, so a schedule of his events on Monday the 26th is crucial. And then, you need to know what early warning he would have that missiles were coming toward Perth. Your research, so far, looks better than what the defender of canon has provided. If you have not contacted Brian yet, he is the caretaker of the ANZC and also a member of the "Brass." Another member of the Brass that worked on it is Ben. Both are open to suggestions and change when necessary. --SouthWriter 03:50, April 2, 2012 (UTC)

Hi, Scan. I'm following closely, but don't want to 'butt in' on the main talk page. Your discussion about advance warning has had me wondering what kind of warning would Hawke have had anyway. Reagan had NORAD, but nothing like that exists for Australia. Here is a discussion in 2003 about whether Australia needed one. They figured even then that a nuclear attack (from China, not the USSR) was unlikely.

The only warning Australians would have had was general news reports coming in from the northern hemisphere. Unless there are tracking stations in the Philippines (likely taken out by attacks on that country, but check) warned them, the tracking station at Nurrungar in South Australia and the Pine Gap facility in Northern Territory are both too far south to take note of an incoming ICBM in to make a difference. If the cities were hit in separate waves, then there would be a general evacuation after the first strike. However, the articles as written state the times assuming a near similtaneous strike.

The Dongara stations northwest of Perth are only about 400 kilometers away. They would surely catch the incoming missile in their scans, but from how far out? Would there be satellite information available in 1983? These stations were available for the Soviet Space Station, but were they able to see over the horizon? And if so, by how much? These questions are necessary to determine how much of a warning officials had. We included the targets because they were on a cold-war era map of possible strikes, so it is possible that just international calls from the US and Britain may have been all that are needed. The picture might not be as bad as you are portraying it, but this information -- one way or the other -- might help. SouthWriter 21:42, April 5, 2012 (UTC)

Hey Scan! I would like to ask you whether it is possible for you to give me the stability of Bharat and/or help fill out the algorithim of the Bharati-Spaniard Colonial War. The war is only over the colonies in Australia, and if Sweden can send in the maximum amount of help you can get, the Spaniard colony next to Nipponese Australia will become yours.

Also, here is a map of how the area which would mostly be OTL Germany should be split up between Prussia and Sweden. FP was going to put this on your talkpage to discuss it with you but I guess he never got round to it. Any discussions about this should be with him, Im just informing you about how it was planned to turn out.

To Sweden on PM
From the Kingdom of Dravidia: We are worried by the constant French aggression. The French, unprovoked, have declared war on Vietnam for the sole purpose of conquest. The French advocate against capitalism. Furthermore, Sweden itself is at threat, as the French are trying to force Sweden to grant Finland independence and trading rights, by force if necessary. We must stop the French. They have destroyed Naples. They have destroyed the former Hungarian colony in the Americas. If Vietnam falls, they will be unstoppable. Please, Swedes, aid the Vietnamese.

I'm sorry for Manofsteele, and the polite thing to do would be for Imperium Guy not the attack the Spanish colony, but you can't make up a rule saying that people can't be attacked while they are gone.

Re-establishing Relations
I would just like to start off with an overdue Sorry for invading Spain's colony (I would message MofS but it seems like you can directly tell him). It was not chivalious but I really needed to have a bit of free space in Australia to expand and well taking over his colony was the only way I'm afraid. But now to the message from the parliament of Bharat:

"We would like to re-establish our wounded relations and would like to apologize on behalf of the former maharaja on his actions. We think that we can build good relations between our two prosperous countries and increase trading as well as the sharing of tech (my steam engine is still there, although we might update it before giving you blueprints).

However, we are able to inform you that we will be able to aid your war efforts in the Americas (and in the main war effort if you want) if you could support our invasion of the Russian colony in South America (ironic that Bharat is invading the same colony that they used as a springboad to launch their campaign in Onguayal). This will mean that we will cut all influence of Russia in South America and possibly NW North America."

What do you think? :/ Imperium Guy 18:00, April 20, 2012 (UTC)

Oh, you did it for the client states! BTW, whose facination are you taking about, mine or Doc's? I think Doc means to unite all the colonies in a Federation, probably post-WWII. I for one would also not give up my colonies. If you were asking me about my fasination, well it was because that it was the first landmass where I established my colonies!

The Help you offered
If you really want to help, tell me two things: 1) Do you play Europa Universalis 3? 2) Did you play it before? Doctor261 ''' (Talk to Doctor261) 17:27, April 21, 2012 (UTC)

Also, check out the offers by NPC nations. You've got plenty of alliance offers. I've simulated the situation in Europa Universalis, and that's exactly the alliance requests I received. Doctor261 ''' (Talk to Doctor261) 18:53, April 21, 2012 (UTC)

I suggest getting EU3:Chronicles, since it has better gameplay and graphics and possibilities. Also, while you don't have it yet, you could do one little thing: You will have to sync the relations between nations. Like, if I put in Aragon page that its relation with France is 65, then you go to France page and change the relation with Aragon to 65. Could you do it? :) Doctor261 ''' (Talk to Doctor261) 04:01, April 22, 2012 (UTC)

It doesn't look great. It IS great. Also, it's really easy to learn, but is even more easier if you played other Paradox games(AKA Victoria II which you have played already), which include Hearts of Iron 3, 2, 1 ; EU1 EU2 etc. Doctor261 ''' (Talk to Doctor261) 04:49, April 22, 2012 (UTC)

Nah. I want to keep it like this actually. If we would make a new page, we would also have to update it frequently too, which means updating Nation Page, that page, and Main page - if you know what I'm talking about. And I also think it looks more professional and clean this way. Doctor261 ''' (Talk to Doctor261) 04:56, April 22, 2012 (UTC)

I'm not really sure now, if we really need that treasury system, where everything has specific cost. I think we should change incomes from numbers to High, Medium and Low, to see how many soldiers can they recruit and how many can they maintain. What do you think?

Sweden break-up in Principia Moderni
Sweden is really big in this game, and they rule over a lot of different nations. So, suffice to say, they will not stay a single, united nation forever (neither will many other nations in the game). So, I was wondering if you had a plan to lose some territories in the future? I was thinking about some stipulations this would have. So, by region: If you have a plan to grant some of these areas independence, you can just tell me (don't make it ridiculous though, like keeping them until the very last turn of the game). If you want to dispute these observations I've made above, message me too. LurkerLordB (Talk) 00:33, April 23, 2012 (UTC)
 * Sweden obviously wouldn't break away from itself, lol.
 * Norway and Denmark are so similar to Sweden, and have been under Swedish control of so long, it would actually be somewhat implausible for them to have micronationalist movements and try to break away.
 * The former Japanese colony which is right next to Denmark is so small semi-autonomy would probably be enough to appease it.
 * England and the German territory, however, would not be so easily stopped. Both are of a different branch of the Germanic languages, both have not been under Swedish rule for that long, and, furthermore, both have a glorious Anglo-German history to look back on and be inspired by, so they are unlikely to stay with Sweden to the end of time. Since they both also have fairly large populations (probably about the population of the OTL parts of Swedish Sweden itself), they would be unlikely to be reduced to semi-autonomy or another arrangement. Perhaps a commonwealth-type thing, or close, formal alliance, but with their own governments, would be most plausible.
 * The Saami areas have so few people, they wouldn't stand on their own. They haven't broken away in OTL, and they've been better treated in PM
 * The former Hanthawaddian colony on the north is between you and Detectivekenny.
 * Finland you have covered already
 * Flanders is most likely to break away. They have a very different religion, some Japanese and French influence lingering, again speak a different sort of Germanic language, and have not been under Swedish rule for that long

OK, good, then I don't have to worry. :) LurkerLordB (Talk) 01:16, April 23, 2012 (UTC)

Mod page is what I think ruins the actual view of the map game. Just me knowing who is a mod is enough. I don't want people to focus on taking over mod spots rather than playing their nation roles.

I have already invaded the colony! :/ But I think I might be able to drag a few nations into this war. I have a bit of influence in Nippon and Brunei, but the other nations might be a bit harder to drag into the war. Korea would only be dragged in if we could promise it (Russian) Manchuria and Vietnam, I don't know how. Persia wants Kazakistan but the country is not completely stable.

Guangxi News
Scan, both these guys are the PRC are known. The thought that they wouldn't know anything about the other, especially a rough location, is ludicrous.

Why on earth would they need info to go through Macaunese reps? Again, international access is something Guangxi has on its own. They can do their own announcements.

And, there's no way that they, as a landlocked state, could send ships anywhere. They have no ports or land borders with anyone, and the Pearl River isn't passable to the ocean.

You need to do some edits, methinks.

Lordganon 03:31, April 27, 2012 (UTC)

Doesn't really matter if they're the only ones that they have "significant" relations with. Still makes absolutely no sense, and is not plausible.

Hauling boats overland? Sketchy, at best - and something that wouldn't work. Boats designed for inland water don't work on oceans, at all. They'd be reps going to Macau, and then in their ships from there.

Apologies for forgetting about the other note. Area would get fallout really bad - very unlikely a state could possibly exist. Too close to raiders and such places, in my opinion, too.

Still have to say that you're not going to find many, if you find any at all - which I doubt - home locations in Australia.

And the answer to Italy and Egypt is, at this time, no.

Lordganon 06:29, April 27, 2012 (UTC)

That's exactly why we should close all other map games and play Principia Moderni. Doctor261 ''' (Talk to Doctor261) 09:23, April 27, 2012 (UTC)

Fair warning, Scan - any more expansion would be pretty well impossible for Guangxi at this time. Lordganon 06:12, June 15, 2012 (UTC)

Even adding influence is too much, Scan. You just doubled the effective size with this invasion, after all. Nor is it going to poaching off another, stronger, state like that. Lordganon 11:45, June 15, 2012 (UTC)

Better, but what I'm saying is that any such expansion is really not possible for a while. As I said, you've just doubled the size. That's a lot of space to digest and colonize. Lordganon 08:06, June 16, 2012 (UTC)

I'm sorry for him, but you just can't be gone for three weeks like he is. His nation is going to have to break up soon.

Please don't quit, that would be very stupid and I need a strong Sweden in my plan for Asian dominance. If you quit, it will also give Russia an upper hand in world affairs and that would be disasterous. If even this doesn't convince you, then I don't know what will. However, if you don't return could you atleast let Onguayal and Fjordlaand merge and become like so on a map? This will help Bharat stop Russia to some extent in the Americas. :( Imperium Guy 13:28, May 6, 2012 (UTC)


 * ...Imperium Guy, if you look at the map, you'll see that Russia doesn't own any territory on South America, and they have no interest in doing so, so I don't see how that would limit them in any way. In any case, Fjordlaand is an independent nation, and it would never submit to losing its independence without a war. LurkerLordB (Talk) 15:06, May 6, 2012 (UTC)

 * Sweden no longer exists. Fjordlaand is independent from any other nation, Scandinator no longer controls it as he has quit the game. LurkerLordB (Talk) 16:14, May 6, 2012 (UTC)

Greetings from the NPRC
That's alright. I put on the NPRC's article that contact between the NPRC and Guangxi on June 20th, 2012. 2000 wouldn't have worked, as the government of the NPRC was isolationist. Would a date ranging from 2004-2012 work?

What industrial supplies would be available? The NPRC has a fair amount of rice and wheat, so food isn't really needed. However, the NPRC has access to significant amounts of water, Borax, cotton, tea, copper, iron, garnet, gold, and clean windpower. Do any of those interest you?

How exactly would the NPRC join? Or does 1983 have a page explaining that?

Canuck2012 01:43, June 25, 2012 (UTC)Canuck2012

What materials do you need the most? The NPRC needs machinery and newer weapons, so we are willing to trade for those items.

Mayan Doomsday
I've moved the Australian discussion to the talk page of that article, where you should have put it.

As for the rest....

Yes, I do use facebook.

...You do realize that the concept of "Mayan end date prophecies" is entirely fake, right? They do not exist.

If Iran blocked the strait, the whole world would force them back within days. The fuel going through there is just a touch too important. Heck, there's even US naval groups devoted to the area which would kill it off within hours if they tried.

Israel would not launch a "first strike" on Iran, especially for that reason, as it wouldn't effect them.

Even otl the Arabs are not able to invade Israel because of the Arab Spring, alongside, of course, the normal factors. If it was going worse in an atl, why on earth would they be able to do it? Simple answer is that they would not be able to.

Besides that, the simple fact is that the Israelis, even without using their nukes, are more powerful than those states combined.

Hezbollah, btw, is militarily insignificant.

Why would they randomly target Lebanon? That makes no sense.

Russia would not nuke in defense of Syria.

NATO would not fire in defense of Israel like that. Even more so, however, they would not fire on China randomly like that.

Basically, such a timeline wouldn't be possible.

As for help shaping it, the answer is no. Too many other things to do already. Advice, sure. But active help, no.

Lordganon 21:23, June 28, 2012 (UTC)

I realize the Mayan end date prophecies are fake but an article about it would be pretty good.

Ok, I'll flesh out the POD and other events to make them more realistic closer to the date as I am currently rather busy studying for the University Entrance exams. Scandinator (talk) 23:08, June 28, 2012 (UTC)

Well there's been a million prophcies about the end of the world and there will be a million more. None are going to come true though.

Scandinator (talk) 07:08, June 30, 2012 (UTC)

PMII Dynastic Union
I was just going to go off of Principia Moderni, where we just had dynastic union, even though some nations dominated (like Russia dominated Lithuania in their union, even though they were officially equal). Though you do make a good point, so if the union was really unequal, I suppose you could change the weaker to a vassal. We should go to the rules and think of some rule differentiating equal unions with unequal ones. Any idea how to make a solid rule in the game?

Apocalypse 2012
Well, first off, I can't give you an answer like that off the bat. I studied nuclear physics- that mostly stuff like fusion, nuclear energy. I know enough to tell you that NO nuke is going to take 335 years to be not dangerous, but then that's just common sense. Look at Hiroshime, Nagasaki- both now thriving cities. Of course, some of that comes from my personal knowledge, but I have to clarify- is that fission or fusion, what time is it from, and what is the environment? Spillage will be concentrated in an area surrounded by mountains, for instance, but will blow everywhere in a city on a plain...

As for A-2012, is that a map game or a timeline? Either way, the world is going to be far too chaotic for any real countries. The Royal Guns (talk) 13:16, July 10, 2012 (UTC)

Principia Moderni II Map
It is not the timing of the map that concerns me, as long as it gets done like you said about a week or so before the game begins (really as long as it is several days before the start) it should be fine. My primary concern is the sign-up list, as I don't want someone to sign-up for something for months only to discovery, a couple days before the game, that their nation is nonexistant or very different from what had originally been presented. Would any changes alter this list? If so, the list should be altered ASAP.

Also, is South East Asia accurate? Because I had found some good maps for that region, and spent a lot of time recently on correcting it. LurkerLordB (Talk) 16:40, July 10, 2012 (UTC)

Naples doesn't exist on the current map, it's part of the Kingdom of Aragon. For Venice, I used this map, and if the Venetian year range encompassed 1450, it was marked off from the bordering nations. The territories that Venice rules in the Adriatic and Greece are not marked, but when they get a color, they will be shown to be Venetian.

The Majapahits I only showed their core territory (from this map), not the vassals. Sunda if anything was smaller than it is on the map, they only directly ruled the west half of their current territory, with the rest being more under their influence. All the maps I can find of the Ternate Sultanate show it controlling the territory on the map, and the only mention of it ruling more is that it was bigger in the late sixteenth century. Atjeh I couldn't find any maps of in 1450, so I used a 1500 map of it because the only other one was in 1600. The Malaccan Sultanate if anything controls less of Sumutra than it could. Brunei is if anything smaller than it currently is on the map. So I don't know what Indonesian states are too small.

All of the southeast asian nations I have their existed in 1450, though their borders may be different. If I didn't mention it, then I assume you are correct. LurkerLordB (Talk) 13:46, July 11, 2012 (UTC)

The current kindom of Arakan, under the rulership of the Mrauk-U city, was founded in 1430 and lasted until 1785. Ava was founded in 1364 and didn't fall until 1555. Hanthawaddy was founded in 1287 and did not fall until 1552. The Shan States lasted from 1215 to 1557. Lanna lasted from 1292 to 1775. The Sutiya kingdom lasted until 1673.

Our Unique Situation...
Hello, I believe that this is my first time speaking to you.

Now I noticed your plans as Venice in PMII. I don't know if you know ours, but it is to unify the Holy Roman Empire, which includes all of Italy, as we see it. Since you want to unify Italy as well, perhaps you could join the HRE, and we conquer Italy together. Then, you not only get what you want, you will also be part of a powerful nation that can pursue your interests.

In case you are worried about balance and power and everything, each player nation will get a say in what the nation does as a whole. So don't worry, you will be represented.

Well, what do you think? Interested?

If you have any doubts, don't be afraid to ask.

PMII Map
Being my nosy self, I did know that and as a matter of fact, I knew that was a mistake! Even OTL's states of Brandenburg has no coastline!

Also, join us in PMII in the new Holy Roman Empire. We'll leave the job of keeping Italy under control to you, as they would be less likely to rebel under an Italian master and not a German one.

Also we planned to keep the Ottomans down and leave them alone. After we consolidate the Empire then you can beat the shit out of them.

And you can have Genoa and Lubeck.

Also, Aragon owns OTL Two Sicilies, so after we/you defeat them in Italy, we can go after the rest of Spain!

What do you say?

Syngraféas Enallaktikí̱ Istoría, Dic mihi lingua Anglorum. 23:55, July 25, 2012 (UTC)

Also, we plan to conquer the Indian Subcontinent! Mwahahahaahahahahahaa!

Like I said, give it some time.

Also, Naples/Sicily is part of the Kingdom of Aragon, the most powerful nation in the Spanish Peninsula. Once that goes down, we can go after the rest. And we could even corner France if we tried!

I plan for a super expansionist imperialist Holy Roman Empire until the Mid 1700s! Mwhahahahaaha!

Also, for my color, I'd like ultramarine. The code is #120A8F. If you can't get that, I'll take regular #0000FF blue.

Ok, I'll wait. But a couple of colonies of mine might spring up in Ireland. I just mainly want SE Asia to be influenced by me. :D Imp (Say Hi?!) 13:37, July 26, 2012 (UTC)

My main concern is that some of those maps are rather complicated, like the French one and the Ireland one. I was hoping to have a labelled version of the map, and that might require (insets? I think that's the word, where it shows part of the map larger). If the states are really small, it might just be better to have them the "fragmented" color (which isn't just for civil disarray, in case you missed it) instead of having a lot of tiny states on the map. For the borders, I was hoping to keep the borders the dark grey color, except for maybe the HRE one since I didn't know how to portray it (I have the borders between states of the HRE only being 1 pixel in width, in order to show that they are more connected)

Anyways, for the colors, a red bright blue or red would be good for Scotland. I'd prefer that no one have the exact same color as they did in the last game, but if they want to have it, that's fine. LurkerLordB (Talk) 13:49, July 26, 2012 (UTC)

Your idea of limited exploration is good, but needs some modification.

For the contact between continents, I don't think that you meant to say that they did not know of east asia until the mid sixteenth century, as they had vague knowledge of each other, they just didn't maintain contact enough to have any alliances. I like your regions idea. I was thinking of limiting the rounding of the south of Africa like limiting the Americas.

Your colonization idea is good, but I think that it is not a good idea to restrict the first colonies to the Caribbean. I would say any of the Caribbean as well as the entire Atlantic coast for the Europeans. Especially Norway, as they already owned Iceland, going from there to Greenland (which they knew existed) and from there to the mainland of North America in Canada (which they had already done) seems much more reasonable than sailing all the way to the Caribbean. Scotland would find that way easier too I think, if they were allied to the Norweigans. LurkerLordB (Talk) 02:18, July 27, 2012 (UTC)

Venice
I believe you are Venice in PMII. So Scraw and i(Brandenburg and Aragon respectively) have formulated a plan.

And then y'all will help me conquer Iberia and maybe later, France.AP (talk) 00:51, July 28, 2012 (UTC)

BTW Aragon would like to be a bright red or something like that.

Those states in the Holy Roman Mess can just be classified as "Small German states" on the sign-ups. As for Ragusa, you might want to ask him if he is sure he wants to play such a tiny city-state. If he still does, I think he should just be given 1 pixel, but told he has less. LurkerLordB (Talk) 19:18, August 11, 2012 (UTC)

The "Fragmented" state on the algorithm makes it so they can't gain territory through wars, but their end score is multiplied by 1.5, so it would actually make the HRE stronger, not weaker.

I really had wanted a labelled map, as there is great confusion in the current game of people not knowing what NPC nation is what. Also, I don't want the Europe sign-ups to have like 100 names just under the Holy Roman Empire grouping. LurkerLordB (Talk) 02:29, August 12, 2012 (UTC)

Okay, in your Europe map, there are some border issues.such as: The only difference as that the Portuguese hadn't reached the area, and Sitawaka didn't exist in 1450.
 * The southern Aragonese-Castillian border around Murcia is a bit too thin, and the extent of Navarra sound a bit bigger.Apparently, Navarra includes Biscay, which in 1450 was already integrated to Castille. link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Corona_de_Castilla_1400_en.svg
 * I think that the Teutonic-Polish border is too much like a straight line.
 * The Hungarian border with Austria was rounder on the Hungarian side, not the Austrian.the same for their Bohemian border.
 * If it was you who made the captions, the name of the Kingdom bordering Wallachia is called Moldavia.Moldova(that's how it is on the European map) is how they called themselves, and the present-day country.Novgorod also is spelled wrong.I also thought that that Khanate north of the Timurids was called Chagatai.
 * The Faroe islands were already part of Norway, and thus, the Kalmar union, during this time.in the map, thay apparently are unsettled.
 * There is something akin to a square of pixels in the middle of Naples for some reason.
 * Wasn't the Patrimony of St. Peter part of the Papal States?
 * There is a grey state bordering the Inca, and there's nothing indicating who they are, though i suspect that they must be the Chimu.
 * Ife is too far away from the city of Ife itself.Benin is too big, particularly in a a northern direction.Oyo is a bit more south than it actually was.
 * Songhai and Mali look a bit wrong, but i don't know their borders in 1450, as the maps that i saw are from circa 1350, not 1450.
 * I wouldn't consider the Jaffna Sinhalese.i would try to redo their (the Sri Lankan states') borders myself, but then, i would need a map that zoomed on Sri Lanka specifically.there is a map on 1520: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Sri_Lanka_geopolitics,_1520s.png

Hey, Scandinator. I've noticed you changed the name of the Papal States to the "" on the PMII map.

You've done a great job with the map, and you probably noticed that I made you a mapmaker and brought back your old position of disaster moderator.

Perhaps, instead of just saying "you can't play as them", we should make some sort of system so people just couldn't come out of civil disarray in one turn. Like saying that to go from tribe to city-states, you have to work on it for 20 years, from city-states or civil disarray you have to work for 10 years to get a small section (maybe the size of Belgium) to stabilize as one nation, and another 5-15 years to stabilize the rest, depending on how large it is?

Hey Scan. I know you're the map making man, so I have some questions.

As you probably know, I'm Brandenburg. Being landlocked, I took some territory (not sure how much yet) from the Teutonics. Later I'll go after them when I'm stronger, but right now, I have a coastline, and that's mot important. Now then, I seek somewhere to expand. An island chain, or some tribal area or something. I was think near OTL's Cote d'Ivore. Plausible? Y/N? Anywho, I know as a European nation, there's not many places to go. I mean, the East has all this space and craploads of islands, so I'm just looking for somewhere I can set up a naval base or a launching pad to victory! I'm going to work on my navy a lot because my conquests (if any, probably many) will mostly be naval war. Blockading, sieging, etc etc etc.

PM II Papal War?
As a member of the HRE I must side with the Empire, though I must say it is odd, what exactly is going on, on the HRE page it said something about attacking Genoa, isn't that HRE territiory? Forgive me for my ignorance my primary field of study was WWII and Post WWII/Cold War. I am not very familiar with the early rennassiance. What exactly is going on? As Bavaria, I am a very religous nation, attack the very seat of my religion is unsettling to say the least, also what about the upcoming Caliphate? Also, I was under the impression that Venice may join the HRE and that we were favourably alligned to the Pope. Is that not so?These are not the droids you are looking for. 05:59, September 8, 2012 (UTC)

What happened was that the HRE did not want its main source of trade to be attacked. Therefore, we had this whole ordeal. We will not attack first until someone attacks us. That is how it goes. Venice attacking Genoa would generally be seen as a reason why it should not join the HRE.

No one is attacking Genoa, Milan is simply going to gain substantial control over it.

Reset of Talks
Alright, look. We got off on the wrong foot. So let us try again.

I thought that your future attack on Genoa was an indication that you had no intention of joining the HRE. AS such, I created precautions. Now that Milan wants to do the same thing, I will have to compromise.

So here is what I propose: Please let me know if these terms are acceptable, and let me know what is not. Thank you for your aid.
 * Venice and the Byzantine Empire join the Holy Roman Empire as full states in two to five years, or when the War of Imperial Succession is over.
 * They will both have full rights as states.
 * Under the Unification Treay on the HRE page, you will abide by its laws, and so will I. Please put forward any issues you might have. 
 * You will have a near-complete monopoly of HRE trade. If anyone external tries to stop you, you will have the might of the HRE to back you. For practical and economic reasons, I cannot let you have all of the trade, but your only competitors in the Empire will be the remains of the Hanseatic League, what's left of Genoa, and the other Italian states.

respectfully, what is going on with the mod events. Savoy leaving the HRE with several other states because of the Unification Treaty is absolutely implausable.

It is against the treaty to attack a neighboring nation with the exeption of Pomerania and Wurttemberg, as both aqisistions ocuured before the signing of the Treaty. Please help us, here, I do not know if you are in charge of this event or not, but it simply cannot happen.

That map is no longer valid, it was an old plan. Also bavaria is done all we wanted was traditional Bavaria with the otl state of Baden Wurttemberg. The other nations were agreed upon BEFORE the treaty, expansion is thus limited by treaty. I cannot speak for Milan and Brandenburg, but I know that Bavaria is done with expansion. I understand your concern, that is why we have developed a supreme court and ae working on a fair constitution. I determined that the current way is too authoritarian and the others agreed. I implore you to just observe and maybe add your own valuable input. the Swiss have been heavily reprimanded and we are considering allowing savoy to seize the Swiss.

Crimea in PMII
I have a proposal for the Crimea in PMII once this war with Savoy blows over.

Let me know if you are interested in hearing what I have to say.

Monster Pumpkin (talk) 03:18, September 18, 2012 (UTC)

After this war with Savoy ends, we hit the Crimean Khanate together. You get the Crimea and most of the Azov Coast, and I get the large steppe areas. You get what you want (I hope), and I get what I want. We both win, right?

Also, about the unification treaty, Venice would not be vassalised at all, as it is a player nation and one of the strongest. The map you are referring to is either before you joined or before we knew you were into joining the empire.

Really the vasslisation here is just to get those states to sign the treaty and to satisfy the feeling of conquest without actually doing so.

Also, the empire is not going to be based on Austria. That is why a new capital is being created, out of Austrian (or anyone's) reach. The monarchy is as it always was, elected. Play your moves right and one day a Venetian may be on the throne.

Please just consider this before doing anything rash. I don't want another huge misunderstanding.

The Savoy question
Well according to the ruling by the Court Savoy is guilty. If you read what I posted, I beleive that Savoy should be re-addmitted and that the Swiss should be punished. What is Venice's idea? I want Bavaria to work with Venice and plan to strengthen our alliance, if you have any reasonable suggestions, I am certainly all ears. Also England looks for war with England. I have chosen to stay nuetral because of the lack of ability to send supplies and this thrice blasted Civil War. We would like Venice to take a more active part in Court proceedings and negotiations. Andr3w777 (talk) 16:52, September 21, 2012 (UTC)

Hey, are you still up for that invasion of the Crimea this turn?

Monster Pumpkin (talk) 17:02, September 22, 2012 (UTC)

Could you attack them then? Since you are smashing the Ottomans right now, I am sure that some troops is not to much to ask.

Thanks, Monster Pumpkin (talk) 02:19, September 24, 2012 (UTC)

Japan PMII
Thanks. ^_^ I made it in create.swf. If you want, I could make one for your Venice page if you want.

Anyway, I'll be willing to help out on your international history page once its established.

As for the Sengoku, I've been planning it out (Mwahaha :] ). I'm planning to have the Satomi clan become the new controller of Japan. Other factions will include Satake, Fujiwara, Takeda, Miyoshi, Suzuki, Yamana, and some others (Toyotomi is also included but they will gain power after last member of Satomi clan dies in ~1630s; similar to like how OTL Tokugawa was after Toyotomi Hideyoshi). I'll make a map of their areas control and such sometimes soon as well. I'm originally planning to start said Era around the ~1520s (~1525) if it's fine.

As for Dejima, it wasn't built until 1634. You can however feel free to stay on OTL for a while until Dejima is built. Then you can use both places (or either one of them) if you like.

I plan of having Japan become bit more friendly and bit more open to foreigners (with little restrictions, but don't worry, it shouldn't affect anything much). -Kogasa 2012年9月26日 03:15:36 (JST)

That can be arranged. I could always take the map of nations from the PMII map and remove everything that borders it and then I can work from there (though for Japan, I will instead have Satori or Koishi represent it, though a map of Japan will also be present in a international comic along with them). Either way I'll help out with international comics, just tell me what's needed and I'll do my best. ^^

I'll be the Satomi clan. At start, they will hold Shikoku, OTL Yamaguchi, Hiroshima, and Okayama Prefectures and go from there. Could I also mention the other clans sometimes, so I could update on how they are doing and stuff?

You can have one of the islands from the OTL. :] -Kogasa 2012年9月26日 19:46:26 (JST)

No problem, and good luck with your exams. Can nations have hats though? If allowed, maybe I'll have Japan wear Koishi's hat or have Reimu's hair ribbons instead (sorry, in case your wondering I'm a huge Touhou fan, and I'd like to have something at least tiny bit related to it, if okay; if not I understand, I can fine with whatever decision comes to be).

The island sounds nice, thanks. :] They did, but I reordered the map and move clans around a bit. Figured that lot would have changed and all. I made a map (seen right) showing all the reordering of the clans (and the map is the otl Prefectures of Japan, was easiest to edit and was originally in png). And I'll think I'll just leave it up to the mod events instead for the other clans. Any strategies you suggest to ensure a possible way for the Satomi clan to be able to unite Japan? -Kogasa 2012年9月26日 22:32:37 (JST)

Deal. :D

And Touhou, is mainly a dōjin game series (meaning made for fun then profit) focused on bullet hell shooters (danmaku). It's basically you choose either Reimu or Marisa (in some games you can choose more than two) and you go up against Youkai and bosses, and the games follows a story line. This wiki can help you understand what it's about (whenever you have the time, though).

Fair enough. :D I'm prepared to deal with the tough times and all as well. -Kogasa 2012年9月26日 23:05:00 (JST)

Naples
Hi, I was just wondering if you would prefer me not to engage in trade agreements and the like with Naples, because I think that Naples is in your sphere of influence, and I find agreements with Venice & vassals more important than Naples.

Hello, using a theme that is already open about me I would diplomatically solve the question of the Balkans. Venice is a great power (and also a major trading partner of Naples) and one of his vassals the Byzantine Empire has a great desire for expansion, your union with Epirus is a fact and there is no way to interfere there I do not wish to interfere, but otherwise serbia can not belong to your sphere of influence, your vassal would be bigger than you. The kingdom of Naples want expand into this realm, without interfering with your policy to the south and east of the Balkans ... In this war that comes between HRE and the Caliphate, the best thing for you would be to expand the Byzantine Empire to the east and recover the territories of the Ottomans. Epirus I think it's yours, in the same way that Albania can be incorporated into your empire I do not know whether or not easily, that's something we might see in the coming shifts. What do you say? Quiari (talk) 15:40, October 4, 2012 (UTC)

Look, I understand your position and your intentions. I have no intention to challenge the supremacy of the eastern Mediterranean. I do not want to interfere with your interests, and I think it right to try to restore the Byzantine Empire and hopefully another player can come and take those reins. In black sea you have your territory and I have no problems with you. At this time I have left Serbia: is what you have been claiming all along. I reject the Caliphate and want to join the Holy Roman Empire (still waiting to accept me ...) you propose that I withdraw the Adriatic, but you have to understand that I've spent many turns here. I pledge before the HRE to protect the interests of Byzantium and the interest of the Empire. No territory of them is in danger, as proof of this, I have given Serbia. If you say you do not want those territories to Venice but to Byzantium then you should not see a problem. After the defeat of the Caliphate would please me very much to see the distribution of North Africa, you offer me Tunisia, Libya or Algeria, but until we get to that, not only I will seek those territories. I'm proposing a status quo, you have your area of influence, you get the territories you wanted, I promise not to interfere in the eastern Mediterranean, or black sea, nor in the Byzantine Empire, or any other matter have those places (unless you specify more than one) and you then simply do the equivalent. I remain in the land where I am and I seek my own zones and enclaves, without harming you. No wars between our, Christian nations, only prosperity. If necessary it can be pronounced HRE and the vote ended a dispute that may arise, always in search of peace, justice and balance of powers. Quiari (talk) 19:55, October 10, 2012 (UTC)

Monster Pumpkin (talk) 04:03, October 6, 2012 (UTC)

It would be difficult, as originally, i would be using Ceuta to get a foothold on Morocco.(if it wasn't for that event in 1466, i would probabaly have gone to war with them, maybe before Castille).anyway, as i now ain't planning in taking Morocco, i accept this offer.--Collie Kaltenbrunner (talk) 06:11, October 6, 2012 (UTC)

Hey Scandinator. First, remember the mods said that another war and we would have peasant revolutions, second, Naples wants to join the Empire, and I'm going to support this. I don't think he wants to go to war against you, so maybe you should try first to negotiate, If we talk to him maybe he will leave the Balearics and make a deal with you about the Balkans. I know he does not want war with us, so maybe we should try to negotiate. Okay, about North Italy the thing that really bothered me was that I was there before, and basically turn ALL those nations against me just a few years after I gave to you most Genoan possessions (I could not give you anything, but I did) and still you acted so hostile with me after that. And it wasn't your only direction to expand, for God's sake Venice is 60.000px while Milan is the half of that, just look Croatia is the same size than I (plus your other 7 vassals). you're just too expansionist near me, and I see that as a hostile attitude Bauglir Stormageddon, Dark Lord of All (talk) 20:06, October 6, 2012 (UTC)

Your Problem...
Unfortunatly I cannot say whose side I am on at this moment. I can assure you that I will be watching the situation, and act accordingly. I might even create simulations for both possibilities, but as of now I am on no side.

This infighting is going to make the Caliphate's job much easier.

Monster Pumpkin (talk) 22:23, October 7, 2012 (UTC)

Bavaria will remain neutral for right now. I am worried that Lurk will bring the hammer onto the HRE with all of this infighting and war. If things go progressively worse then I will probably side with you. Also could Venice loan the Imperial Trade Fleet some barques? I know we are more or less competing but perhaps we can come to a deal?Andr3w777 (talk) 03:01, October 8, 2012 (UTC)

That seems exceptable, we will allow Venice to do what it does best. Also please see the High Imperial Court page, I have posted something in regards to Naples.Andr3w777 (talk) 03:28, October 8, 2012 (UTC)

Thanks. I think we need to take a second look at the Naples situation. I accidentally over read that the caliphate is planning on attacking us either after the war or during the war with Naples. Should we continue. I'd there a peaceful way around this? I am not entirely convinced that we can defeat the caliphate in a weakened state. What do you think, also what do you think mp would say.Andr3w777 (talk) 14:38, October 8, 2012 (UTC)

You got yourself a deal, brother. You grab your vassals and I grab mine, and we'll roll our tanks into Naples in no time! If we get a large victory (which I am sure of), can Aragon get most of the land as revenge for the split about 40 years ago? Thanks, and you're welcome. Hasta la vista, baby.

SECRET DIPLOMACY- META GAMERS WILL BE SHOT!!!
If I support a full on war with Naples. Can I have the Eastern Coast of Naples or equivilant? It will be for the use of the Imperial Trade Fleet, which will not hinder Venice, and the formation of a small to mid size Navy so i can colonize in the future. I am the only landlocked Elector in the HRE and need room to expand outside. I ask you to please consider my proposal. You get back Serbia and maybe Croatia, Brandenburg gets its revenge, and Bavaria gets a needed port. Everyone is happy.Andr3w777 (talk) 23:06, October 8, 2012 (UTC)

Hehe, now whos being hard on a new player?

No worries. It's not in Russia's interest to see the Caliphate take advantage of this situation, so If they attack they'll still lose.

But if they attack aftrerwards, just a warning... Russia may not be able to support you. We have our own plans, after all. I recommend you solve this diplomatically, before the HRE gets split up, because if the Caliphate attacks then, you're going to hell in a handbasket.

Map Game Wiki
I've been thinking about this idea for a long time.

Basically, it would have four advantages:

A) Map Games would not be restricted to althistory.

B) The reputation of this wiki wouldn't be so downgraded by them a-holes on AH.com.

C) It would have the effect of less clutter on this wiki.

D) It could have rules specifically designed for Map Games, including rules about defunct ones, etc.

What do you think?

The Royal Guns (talk) 19:52, October 21, 2012 (UTC)

Not really. Unless you have a really slow computer, the transition between the two sites takes just a couple of seconds. Also, it actually makes it easier to organize. You edit althists on the wiki and map games on the other.

Well the Caliphate won by 1% which is equivalent to 595 pixels of territory from the HRE and their allies as winning for this war. We can take our 595 pixels from anywhere.

As long as it isnt a full scale invasion, I should see why not, I cant give troops or anything because of my oath to stay out of conflicts unless provoked. But I could support Venice in annexation, maybe send supplies, money etc. As for moving the centre for operations. The main HQ is currently in Nuremberg, while the Imperial Trade Fleet is based in Genoa, I could move the Fleet into Venitian hands as long as Bavaria is secured the use of the Fleet for future military and or colonial quests. I would ultimately prefer that all of you accept a sort of dividing line as to balance power. I suggest that all of the Italian states meet either on my page or a custom page to air out their problems with each other. I am hoping that we can end this rivalry, since I am not Italian, but Southern German, I am close enough culturally to understand the issues, yet also distant enough to be a fair mediator. I really think that is what is needed. In the mean time, I will support Venetian annexation of Firenze.Andr3w777 (talk) 11:58, November 1, 2012 (UTC)

Hey Scan, i'll get to the point. In-game i believe i asked you if Venice would like an alliance with Scandinavia due to our already great relations with trade and whatnot. Please respond. AP (talk) 08:26, November 4, 2012 (UTC)

I will talk with Naples and the Pope and tell you if we accept, I can't decide by my own. Maybe we are going to ask you something else. Maybe we are going to the Court, but not as hostile as in the start of this problem, just to satisfy our own ambitions.

Another unrelated matter, I'm not going for Antillia, but Naples is, so it would be good if you two join efforts to establish more Italian power in the New World, but it's up to you two. Bauglir Stormageddon, Dark Lord of All (talk) 03:31, November 5, 2012 (UTC)

PMII Sengoku
Hello. Seeing as the Sengoku is around the corner (it'll start around 1525), will you be using my clan map as a base to know which clans are where? Or do you have a bit of an alternate map showing the start of the clans a bit different. -Kogasa 2012年11月06日 22:03:31 (JST)

Hey Scan. Venice is invited to discuss colonial division of Antillia with the rest of colonial Europe.

Hey Scan, did you discover Hindustan yet? If so, then I will be needing your help to twart an imminent invasion by the Cahpilate. If you can, could you get more HRE countries involved in the defense of Hindustan and Ethiopia? I know this seems a hell of a lot self-centred, but if we fall, then the Cahpilate will have enough power to launch another strike into Europe, and no one will be able to stop them. I will also try to buffer up an Asian alliance to stop them in their tracks, but if I fail and I get no help, then I don't think the Europeans are going to be very safe anymore. In the very least, if nations atleast agree to defend us, then the Cahpilate will not go in for another war as it would soon turn very costly and problematic. Thank you.

Religous Reform
Since the Reformation started in Bavaria, I do eventually have plans to have a Kappelian state, it wont be for a while I rather like it being a an open state(meaning all religions tolerated but only Catholicism aknowledged) If it were to happen, I know Venexia is stuanchly Catholic and threatened sucession from the Empire. Bavaria would have to leave too, and that could cause major headaches, I do not want you as an enemy so I ask this favour. If the worst happens(rest assured it will not until at least after the fall of the Caliphate) Then Bavaria would like to retain Venexia as an ally, I know the ideologies are different and it will put quite a strain on relations at least initially, but ultimately the nation would be the same, there will still be catholics. Might I had that majority of Kappelianism acted without violence, yet the Church has brutally killed hundereds of thousands for being different. That is my real concern if the Church will be that heavy handed while also preaching Christ, then Bavaria will have none of it. It smacks of hypocrisy and I think the blame lies squarely with the Church itself. Kappel didn't found a new religion, he wanted to fix what is broken in Catholicism. Simple. Bavaria is and will continue to be a peaceful nation. We will not accept the type of heavy handed violence that has thus occured, even if the Pope is from Bavaria.Andr3w777 (talk) 15:48, November 19, 2012 (UTC)

2.	Munich- 3rd largest city by population, major partner in weapons and aerospace design as well as major automobile centre, home base of BMW and Mercedes, 2 car companies heavily invested in aerospace.

3.	Cologne

Nuclear Silos

1.	Plokštinė missile base-Lithuania former Soviet site repurposed by NATO

2.	Peenemunde rebuilt silo area off the former and now defunct Peenemunde research facility. Military Bases

1.	NATO Air Base Geilenkirchen It is the Main Operating Base of the NATO E-3A Component, one of two operational elements of the NATO Airborne Early Warning & Control Force. Will be the first target for any purpose as it is the center of the NATO strategic command in Europe and Part I of two in the early defense system!!!

2.     USAG Wiesbaden Army Airfield

3.	Katterbach Kaserne, Former Luftwaffe base, now owned by NATO for defensive purposes

4.	Kaiserslautern Military Community (KMC) consists of Ramstein AFB, Landstuhl Army Hospital, and the US Army base in Baumholder (Smith Barracks) It is the largest U.S Army installation in Germany and a definite target Naval Bases

1.	Hamburg

2.	Wilhelmshaven-Germany’s only deep water port and largest port in Germany, houses majority of the navy as well as being an strong economic area due to large tanker ships, it is the only port to service tankers in Central Europe besides Rotterdam.

3.	Kiel, Germany large naval/military base used jointly by Germany and NATO, also an EU port of harbor.

Colombia and Latin America
I mostly did this in the assumption that there's only those two naval bases, and that the army might not be taken into consideration because it would just destroy itself against Venezuela in a land war (in the east); destroying Ecuador with Peru (in the south) and just become a provincial army/collapse in the north. I also didn't add any cities that did not have military or export/import centres since there would just be no reason killing people for nothing. Fed (talk) 01:11, November 23, 2012 (UTC) I'd also be glad to establish all the survivor states in Latin America (and elswhere ;)) than I can. Also, I'll be expanding the list over in my User:Fedelede/Sandbox, so watch out for updates! :P Fed (talk) 01:11, November 23, 2012 (UTC)
 * Yeah, sure, I'd love to help. A few targets in Colombia (and as much as it hurts me to doom some of my favourite Colombian cities), might be:
 * Bogotá (the capital, I'm not sure if it has a military base but it is the capital and a rather big city. I'm not sure it would be hit but it might).
 * Cartagena (there is a naval base over, so I'm pretty sure that might be hit, unfortunately).
 * Barranquilla (for an economic strike, since it is the main port of entry for everything in the Atlantic)
 * Malambo, near Barranquilla (there is an air base over, I believe)
 * Palanquero, in Cundinamarca (there's an important US base there)
 * Rionegro, near Medellín (smaller air base there)
 * Cali, Valle del Cauca (air base there)
 * Tolemaida, in Tolima (air base again)
 * Apiay, near Villavicencio (another air base)
 * Melgar, Tolima (air base)
 * Tres Esquinas, Caquetá (the last air base)
 * Buenaventura, Valle (export/import centre)
 * maybe the military base at San Andrés, or that might be taken over by Nicaragua or by a provincial government.
 * Bahía Malaga, near Buenaventura I believe (naval base)

Oh, I can do that too. West Point, for one, would be attacked, as well as the Pentagon and several other important military forts and headquarters. Fegelein! Fegelein! Fegelein! 02:57, November 23, 2012 (UTC)

RE: NATO/US Bases
Okay. So I've been doing my "research" and here's what I've got: There's dozens of others both in the US and across the world. But these are the main ones I would strike if I was Russian Administrator. I'll add more to my sandbox. Enclavehunter (talk) 03:43, November 23, 2012 (UTC)
 * Norfolk - heavy US Naval Presence, shipyard for Nimitz-class carriers, and current construction site of the new Gerald R. Ford carrier.
 * Philadelphia - Philadelphia Naval Yard: not really an active yard, but would most likely be reactivated to continue a war with Russia. Most likely be destroyed in the blasts on Philly.
 * Pentagon - Department of Defense, Headquarters of the Navy.
 * Washington, D.C. - Washington Naval Shipyard: As for the Philly Yard, not very active, and would be used to continue war with Russia. Most likely destroyed in the blasts on Washington, D.C.
 * San Diego - same as Norfolk: heavy naval presence, Naval Base Coronado and San Diego are major bases in the region, as well as NB Coronado being the largest naval presence on the West Coast.
 * Pearl Harbor - headquarters of the Pacific Fleet, large naval complex
 * CFA Yokosuka - headquarters of the U.S. 7th Fleet and pernament-station of the USS George Washington, a supercarrier.

Fegelein! Fegelein! Fegelein! 18:23, November 24, 2012 (UTC)

India & Pakistan
Well, I see Scraw has given you links for US targets already, but I can give you the cities to be targeted in these nations. Unlike in 83DD, with the recent development of Agni 5 missiles to India, we're talking an effective range easily smashing through the Chinese East Coast, and perhaps the American West Coast.

If so, by the way, the immediate death toll would be over 3 billlion. later, another at least 600 million dead in the next few days. By the times things stablize- the to point, say of 83DD in 2000 (here this would be around 2025), no more than 300 million humans alive. Most in the continent of Africa, which would also be untouched- though South America, would not. Europe, depending on France's actions, will either be a complete wasteland, or only a partial one. Switzerland survives, regardless; ditto Scandanavia. Asia will be a complete wasteland. North America will, again, be a wasteland. What exactly are we writing about here?

And in answer to your fallout question; nowadays, nukes are far more advanced than 30 years ago. Very little fallout will occur, except in the places actually hit- and that won't really matter, everyone there will be dead. Apart from that, some fallout will occur from the larger nukes. Tactical nuclear strikes, of under the megaton range, will destroy more than they irradiate.

I have given you some cities; there are many ohters; but I'll have to research more. The major targets for Pakistan (Islamabad, Karachi, Lahore) are all there. Pune, Lucknow, Banglore, Hyderabad, Chennai, and several others are not there; nor are any military bases; I will add those later.? The Royal Guns (talk) 14:25, November 25, 2012 (UTC)
 * Cities:? 
 * New Delhi-? Population: 13.5 million. 5-7 nuclear weapons, 150- 500 KT. Possibly, if America is launching weapons on India, it would also stary into the early megaton range. Launched by China, Pakistan, possibly America. IF this is about Iran, China will not be on that list; in that case, it will probably be China, RUssia, India on one side and NATO on the other; France abstaining, as it has superlative relations with India and good relations wil the other two.?
 * Islamabad-? Population: 1.1 million. 1-2 nuclear weapons, 150 KT. Presumably launched by India. In addition, all Pakistani weapons will be launched against India.
 * Kolkata:? Population: 14.5 million. 6-8 nuclear weapons, 2-3 of 1 megaton and over, the rest 150- 500 KT.
 * Mumbai:? Population: 20.7 million. 8-9 nuclear weapons, 3-4 1 megaton and over, remainder 150- 500 KT.
 * Karachi:? Population: 13 million. 4-5 nuclear weapons. none over 1 megaton, unless China is not an Indian target. Then, perhaps one over 1 megaton.?
 * Lahore:? Population: 11 million. No nuclear weapons will be launched aginst this, except for minor tactical nukes launched by Pakistan to prevent Indian ground forces from capturing it. Post Apocalypse, this will probably be the world's largest city- assuming fallout doesn't destroy it.

Also, Scan, I need much more info. What is the situation? Why are they atacking each other? Who is on who's side? What sides ARE there?? The Royal Guns (talk) 15:02, November 25, 2012 (UTC)

Oh, ok. Well, I'm just saying, there are a lot of fallacies in the world in that statement, just saying. Israel wouldn't nuke pakistan, they don't have enimity with them.

If I may suggest a better scenario....

Iran, due to the radical Arab spring, recieves more support in the region for it's nuclear program, doing the first nuclear test on December 19th. This is in the middle of yet another Israeli attack on the Gaza strip, and with tensions already high, there is an accidental skirmish between Israeli and Jordan troops on December 20th.

The war has started. Lebanon's governmnt is overthrown by Hezb-Allah in a fast coup, and they declare war, swiftly followed by a radicalized Egypt and Syria. Libya, also ruled by a radical government, also declares war, as does Saddam Hussein, as the 2nd Gulf war never occured (no reason to, if Al Gore was president). Saudi Arabia provides support. Turkey and Iran refrain, Turkey because it is secular, and Iran because it wants it;s nuclear program accepted. Regardless, all of these countries except Turkey is nuked, and Turkey is badly hit by fallout.

With Israel's stockpile absolutely depleted, Iran then launches it's stockpile at Israel, as does Saudi Arabia (Saudi Arabia will have some, as If Iran has a bomb, they will ask Pakistan to build one to protect from Iran, and Pakistan will gladly agree).

America, in retaliation to the strike, nukes Iran on December 21st. India, China, and Russia immediately go up in arms, and Pakistan, incited by the attacks, launches a pre-emptive attack on India, leading India to retaliate. America counter attacks, as Pakistan is a closer ally, so Russia nukes them, while China takes advantage of the situation and hits targets in the South China Sea, America, NATO, as well as India. India, it's stockpile ready, launches a series of sea and missile borne strikes that hit China and America. France refuses to be involved, as it sees America as attacking nations that merely defended themselves, and though they do not launch strikes against America, they launch tactical strikes against American Carrier Groups, while the Indian ones (they have three) hit LA, Sna Francisco, San Diego, etc. Most of these targets have already been hit by Russia or China. In response to the hits on American Carrier Groups, America escalates, and the rest of NATO launch strikes on France, India, China, and Russia, with the exception of Britain. As a result, Britain is nuked by both sides, it;s position unclear. Britain then launches it's stockpile in a broad pattern, hitting every one.

Long Prognosis: Every single continent has recieved strikes, except Antarctica and Africa. South America is, overall, in the best shape, but has suffered strikes in NATO naval bases. Europe is now a wasteland, and only Switzerland and the Nordic countries can be expected to survive. In Russia, much of Siberia survives; in China, much of Tibet survives; In India, nothing is left; Pakistan has been blanket nuked off the map, as has Israel; France has completely shattered, as has Ireland and Britain; America is a radioactive wreck; In Canada, the North has survived, nothing else; The Middle East barely exists any more; the nuclear strikes have all but wiped out the Huang He- Yangtze, the Tigris-Euphrates, the Inus- Ganges, and the Nile. In short, none of the nirthplaces of civilization nor their current cradles exist.

Short Prognosis: Africa, Oceania, and South America remain. Africa will collapse, and South America and Oceania will be the last two serious nation left on Earth.

A2012
Well, actually, there are several flaws in my argument, but there are several more in yours. A) Israel is perfectly capable of defending itself against it's neighbors, and has proved this multiple times. It would not launch nuclear strikes, especially as they would be the only ones being provided with military aid, and all the countries providing them with aid would lean on them NOT to nuke their enemies. The only reason Israel would launch a nuclear strike would be against another nuclear armed state. B) Israel would under no circumstances attack Pakistan. All that would do is antagonize America, a close Pakistani ally. Pakistan has no animosity to Israel, they are WAY too far away for that. And, they would not be affected by the Arab Spring, because India would launch ground assaults as soon as this occurred, if nothing else to stabilize the country. Musharraf was pro-India in many ways, they don't want him being replaced by a radical- and neither do America or CHina. C) Things are not as clear cut as during the Cold War. France, while a staunch US ally, could not survive without Russia, China, and India, and in addition would see America as launching unprovoked strikes. D) Due to the Arab Spring, Iran would not have sanctions, as the West would be focused on all the radical idiots running around with AK-47s, not the stable guys with the nukes. As a result, Iran gets a small nuclear stockpile- AT WHICH POINT, Saudi Arabia would demand some from Pakistan, to protect themselves from Iran. Pakistan would happily agree. E) The Commonwealth provides nearly a tenth of UK economic force, according to the economist Bagehot article just last Friday. And most of that comes from India. Not to mention that this is the only market with room for growth, something completely not affected by the Arab Spring because no country affected by the spring provides any serious amount of economic power to the Commonwealth; thus. F) India wouldn't launch nukes against a potential ally in China, who, if the war was about Iran, would be on their side. G) No, I'm not assuming anything about the Agni 6- I'm assuming that they'll use their 3 Carrier groups to nuke America. The Royal Guns (talk) 00:40, November 28, 2012 (UTC)

Before I make my proposal, I need to ask something. How good are relations between you and Naples?AP (talk) 04:19, December 4, 2012 (UTC)

META-GAMERS WILL BE EXECUTED

Good. Hear me out on this, it sounds far-off but is rather attainable. I propose an attack on Naples, simply put. They are a thorn in my side for later plans and I imagine they are a much bigger thorn in yours. We could conspire with Bosnia and Serbia, assuring them independence from the Neapolitans if they aid us. The incan Empire and Granada are apparently their vassals, we could convince Granada to do the same as Bosnia or Montenegro since Naples has been apparently occupying them for years(without an algorithm, I dont know who let it slide). If we win, we could transfer the vassalage of the Incan Empire to us, Granada will be independent(or maybe one of our vassals), Bosnia-Montenegro or Serbia whatever will be independent, we can split their colonies, and you can take their land on the peninsula. That is what'll happen if we achieve more than 33%. If we don't maybe we can achieve one or two and then knock them out in another war later on. To not make it simply a war of land-grabbing, we could begin to fund rebels in Bosnia/Granada/Serbia/Montenegro and after a few years of being funded, they finally revolt-- that is where we come in. We can forge a wartime alliance with them and hopefully go on to defeat Naples. Everything is subject to revision. This will be planned out thoroughly to prevent a defeat; since you are a trading nation, many nations will support you and I have my connections as well. Let me know.AP (talk) 07:25, December 4, 2012 (UTC)

Great so we'll figure the logistics later but for a few turns, we'll be funding rebels in Bosnia, Serbia, Montenegro, and Granada.AP (talk) 04:15, December 5, 2012 (UTC)

Are you still going to create the map for Islands (Map Game)? Could you please make it so we can start? 77topaz (talk) 23:04, December 5, 2012 (UTC)

Since it starts in a similar period, the PMII system would be useful. The non-explored areas would be black(ed). The NP-islands would be the grey colour that non-player countries have in PMII, since a player can still join and take one of them. 77topaz (talk) 19:30, December 6, 2012 (UTC)

A2012 Question?
Hey Scan. I was wondering if Apocalypse: 2012 is still a go?

Not to sound rude or anything, but is it still planned to continue as a community timeline or is it on hold? Enclavehunter (talk) 01:46, December 6, 2012 (UTC)

Ah. No rush. I also have few suggestions about the TL, to hopefully make it less ASB than many expect it to be. Enclavehunter (talk) 14:57, December 6, 2012 (UTC)

Due to the current tensions between Israel and Palestine, the Syrian Civil War and threat of chemical weapons usage, North Korea and its continous missile testing, Iran and its nuclear program, and the tensions between China and Japan over the uninhabitated Senkaku Islands; I believe that these could be the start of nuclear war, if written the right way.

I believe that North Korea would be the iginiter of a nuclear war. In OTL, the ROKS Cheonan was sunk by a North Korea midget submarine in 2010, which increased tensions between North and South Korea. Following the sinking, the South Korean island of Yeonpyeong was bombarded in November of 2010 by North Korean artillery, which resulted in the death of 2 South Korean marines and two civilians were killed by the bombardment. In 2012, the satellite rocket launch, although it was failure, caused tensions.

So what if in ATL, the two military attacks and the "satellite" launch in April of 2012 by North Korea sparked the Second Korean War The United States and Japan immeaditly declared war on North Korea, while China and Russia came to support the North Koreans.

During the long and bloody war, a single nuclear missile in September of 2012 was launched from North Korea, with the support of China and Russia, towards Hawaii. Although the missile was shot down by a squadron of fighter jets from Pearl Harbor, the United States retaliated, and launched a single nuclear weapon against Pyongyang, destroying the capital city. However, the Russians and Chinese retaliated against the United States, launching both nuclear and coventional weapons against the United States, South Korea, Japan, Taiwan, and other major allies in Europe and Asia. The United States retalliated, launching its nuclear and coventional weapons against China, the remainder of North Korea, and Russia. Pakistan immeaditly, being a major non-NATO ally to the United States, launched its arsenal against India, while the Indians retaliated and used nuclear weapons against Pakistan, followed by a ground offensive. Israel revealed its arsenal and launched nukes at Syria and Iran, who retaliated and launched chemical and coventional missiles at Israel which most were immeaditly shot down by the "Iron Dome" system, which although new, constructed in 2011, proved useful at intercepting and destroying a majority of the missiles headed to Israel. Cuba was struck by two nuclear weapons, Venezuela (being anti-American) was struck by two nuclear devices, while Colombia (being a pro-US ally) was struck by a single nuclear device at the capital. The United Kingdom launched a nuclear strike against Buenas Aries, due to Argentina's claim over the Falkland Islands, and devestated nearby Uruguay with fallout. Besides the four strikes across South America, South America pratically survived the apocalypse, at the cost of Colombia, Venezuela, Argentina. In Oceania, only the three major cities: Sydney, Melbourne, and Perth (as in 83DD) were struck by nuclear weapons.

In the aftermath, North America is in chaos; Europe, the UK, and the Middle East was a desolate region. The Indian Subcontinent and Asia were devestated, but not completly in chaos. Africa managed to survive the nuclear fire, but soon collasped into chaos with the lack of international trade. In total, South America, Africa, and Oceania far much better than Asia, North America, and Asia. Enclavehunter (talk) 23:18, December 6, 2012 (UTC)

Interesting. However, if every country is pounded into a glass, there would be less room to develope a country. Not to go against your idea, but I think that the nuclear targets should be limited to the major cities and capitals, major military bases, and the missile silos. Following the exchange of nuclear weapons, the warring nations could launch conventional weapons against each other, targeting dams, surviving bridges, decomissioned or non-important military bases, and even oil rigs. Due to the recent signing of a START treaty, there are only 1,338 missiles held by the United Stats and Russia, as well as 3,356 nuclear devices, and 1,914 non-deployed launchers, SLBM's, and deployed and non-deployed bombers. Due to this, only 1,338 missiles could be launched on the ready, with another 1,914 missiles having to be transported to silors or mobile missiles, armed, and launched. By then, nearly all major missile fields are leveled, mobile launchers are either crippled by an EMP, or destroyed. Accounting for the unknown number of Israel's missiles and China has under 240 nuclear devices, while the United Kingdom and France has a total of 523. In total, only 2101 nuclear warheads could be launched, and a large possibility of others, but most would be destroyed on the strikes on missile fields, silos, as well most mobile missile launchers being crippled by EMP. In general, the possibilty of nuking pratically everything is impossible. Enclavehunter (talk) 00:50, December 7, 2012 (UTC)

If pratically every region is nuked. How could nations developed? Enclavehunter (talk) 06:34, December 8, 2012 (UTC)

^^ Problem with the above is that China and Russia would not support any such thing. Both rely on the US too much to want that. The US has to be the one to attack, and anyway that's more plausible, looking at the historical record.

Also, around 2,000 nukes is still enough to hit every major city on Earth. Especially since nukes are so powerful nowadays that you need just 3 nukes to wipe out the entire Greater New York Metropolitan area. That's it. 2,000 is more than enough. Especially since most countries have not deactivated their fail- deadlies, so all of those also get launched.

Scan, the only thing you're writing about here is heaps of radioactive slag.

The Royal Guns (talk) 15:34, December 8, 2012 (UTC)

Okay, that's good. :) 77topaz (talk) 19:39, December 9, 2012 (UTC)

Willco. That said, Scan, I'm not sure a 20-30% failrate is possible. Most missile defense systems are woefully inadequate with modern missiles, because since the Cold War neither side has really built any. Closer to a 15%, or 20% tops, really. Just saying.

About weather, by the way, seeing as there is a 10 year difference, I should also really screw with the data a little- chaos theory and all that. Weather changes.

And finally, military satellites will ensure that most targets won't be hit  by more than 2- 3 nations, depending on strike patterns.

Ok, so overall summary- basically, I see free for all going on here. India can hit US west coast- thanks to their 3 aircraft carrier groups, according to the Economist.

Next, what's the final launch reason? Why are the nukes flying?

Also, we've got 2101 nukes in the air, and assuming hidden silos, etc, maybe another 3,000 get up later. I need a complete sites hit list, can you give me one- and a complete list of belligerants- before you go, please.

Any nations getting major support from China/India/Russia/America/UK also gets nuked, by the way. And due to the Indian and Chinese battle groups in the Gulf of Aden, Somalia might get pasted a bit, too. Just saying.

Need to know all this, but then I can get you a complete list of fallout patterns etc. The more specific, the better the info will be.

The Royal Guns (talk) 23:03, December 9, 2012 (UTC)

Let's all convene on the talkpage to discuss this? The Royal Guns (talk) 21:13, December 10, 2012 (UTC)

Dutch/Flemish nations in Apocalypse: 2012
Thanks for the offer, but as you can see from my recent activity on the Wiki and the amount of unfinished timelines/articles on my user page, I am rather busy with IRL affairs. School, work and other things leave me with very little free time to contribute. You might want to ask the other Dutch guy, Villa Cruoninga, for a collaboration, although he seems to be rather inactive as well. --XterrorX (talk) 00:57, December 10, 2012 (UTC)

Re: 2012
Sure! I already have a base plan of a Britain from a future hist I was writing (nuke war 2050, written in 2100) if I mod this but keep similar base it might work quite well. I know Britain. I may struggle to work on it in 2014, major things happening. Till then though...

Major nations that may arise.
It seems to me that (at least in the south of England/ Wales) only two major nations of note might arise. One in Cornwall (maybe centered around the Eden project) and one in/around here with this helping matter. It is possible that people in Shropshire etc. may flee west into the Welsh mountains and eventuly found somewhere if they had warning. That's what I've come up with so far. David Rain (Sometimes...) (talk)

So far...
I have put two ideas in my sandbox (link on my profile page). One is a Cornish Republic that claims all of Cornwall but only holds St. Austell, the Eden project and a small bit more (though it is the best resourced of all Cornish (and indeed South West England) nations and so likely to expand.

The other is the constitutional Kingdom of the Scilly Isles. It only claims the Scillies and is doing quite well by 2013, having not been struck at all.

The currency of both these places is barter.

The major problem with these nations is fallout. If the wind is from the North East the get clobbered (Bristol, Cardiff,Swansea). As such I will wait till weather data is available before making final decisions on these, and other, nations.

It would also help if you could tell me how many nukes are heading for Britain. I want to know how many I can play with to prioritise hits.

Thank you

UK 2012 hit sites.
First of all: many apologies. I thought I was responsible for the nukes aimed at the UK not just the aftermath. Places I added (going from memory may have missed some):

Cheltenham has GCHQ the intelligence hub of the UK

Milton Keynes is a massive population center.

As is Swansea. If Cardiff is hit then Swansea should be (though a smaller device).

Helston is home to a major military base

High Wickham is home to NATO HQ in the UK

The others are all major military bases.

PMII WAR
Hey I know we are now at war. But let me be clear, i want to be an independent nations, I feel the HRE is breaking the rules it founded on, I should know, I was a founding member, under the constitution and the treaty, I am allowed to leave the HRE at any time, for any reason. You dont have a dog in this fight. I ask you to please reconsider your stance. I merely want to be free to expand my nation as I choose, do what I want, which I cant under the current regieme. Me and Scraw have a sort of plan to destroy the current HRE and rebuld it, instead of having all these loose nations, we gobble up all the little ones, letting Bavaria, Brandenburg, and Venice control a much tighter organised nation. are bone is not with being Imperial, but having little say in decisions and suchAndr3w777 (talk) 18:18, January 1, 2013 (UTC)

Sounds like a good back-up plan, but I think it should be totally retconned. Sine is a notorious metagamer and should not have his way.AP (talk) 03:22, January 14, 2013 (UTC)

So that means my algorithm score increases by 50%? If so, that does sound fair, and then I can just conquer them anyway. Ill accept, but can I declare war on Greece now?(DeanSims: Talk) 12:20, January 15, 2013 (UTC)

Sweet, and yes, you can have that weird penninsula that makes up southern Greece in return for a full military alliance. (DeanSims: Talk) 15:40, January 15, 2013 (UTC)

I could use a map yes please, also it does sound fair, and I didnt realize I had a 1.5 multiplyer already, so it would be increased to 3.0 multiplyer right? 2.0 sounds fair too. (DeanSims: Talk) 19:18, January 15, 2013 (UTC)

A2012: Strikes List
Hey Scan.

I was wondering if you could give me an estimate of when the Strike List for Apocalypse:2012 would be finished?

No rush, regards - Enclavehunter (talk)

I went to ask you this, as you are a mod, and i need an second opnion about this, as i've asked Lurker already but i don't think he'll answer:

As you might know Castille's player is inactive in all but name.he is still is up on the player list and has an color on the map.This is the first time that an situation like this happens.the last situation remotely like this (Great Mediterranean war) didn't had the player absent for so long.The question is whether i should treat Castille like a player nation, like he technically is, and he receives no bonus, or treat him as NPC, like he should have been declared by the time in which he spent absent, and he receives a bonus.--Collie Kaltenbrunner (talk) 06:51, January 16, 2013 (UTC)

I'm sorry, but i didn't understood the logic.for me to form Iberia, i would have to conquer over 33% of Castille, so they shouldn't receive a bonus, which would mean that they would have a player.--Collie Kaltenbrunner (talk) 07:33, January 16, 2013 (UTC)

So, i should treat him as an NPC, due to his prolonged absence or treat him as an player, considering that his name is still on the list?--Collie Kaltenbrunner (talk) 08:05, January 16, 2013 (UTC)

Deepnds.what are the requirements?i need to know most of them, not some.i might accept without being able to doing something not mntioned.--Collie Kaltenbrunner (talk) 08:05, January 16, 2013 (UTC)

Well, since i already do some, or most of the things you talked about, but in a smaller scale, i think that i can do it.--Collie Kaltenbrunner (talk) 11:40, January 16, 2013 (UTC)

Ah, and you still didn't answer my question about Castille.--Collie Kaltenbrunner (talk) 11:40, January 16, 2013 (UTC)

So i should disregard the part where you told me to form Iberia?--Collie Kaltenbrunner (talk) 15:46, January 16, 2013 (UTC)

Proposition

I have a mutually benificial proposistion for Venice and Bavaria. When the HRE implodes, I would like Venice's help in attacking and conquering Bohemia/ Hungary,furthermore I have plans for a further expansion perhaps in Austria. As Bavaria is now a free nation, and once the HRE is no more, then it will be fair game for all nations, I'd like our two nations to dominate the South of Europe while Brandenburg deals with the North. We can work out the details later.Andr3w777 (talk) 19:39, January 17, 2013 (UTC)
