@Otak Empire, and NERV.

I am willing to facilitate trade between you and European countries.
In order to trade well, we'll have to build a railroad from Aeriya to the Otak empire. This railroad will benefit us all, which is why we should all invest resources and workers into it.

Okay then, but keep in mind this'll probably take a LONG time, like my telegraph network. Fridge, if you'll help us build it that'll be awesome since Aeriya's central location is pretty awesome tradewise.
Now we just need to get Italy on board and the Axis Powers will be complete

I agree with this on the place names

As for an Alliance, regard that I'm only discussing a European Union, not specifically a veterans union which may trigger "sudden communist side effects" like last time.

The European Union will only be available to Europe (Myself, Cale, Vlad and the NPC's) so sorry Madcat, Fridge and Iran. Non-European nations can still be allied with us, but only on separate terms. You can't be in our private club

If our nations expand out of Europe and other players come closer, maybe I'll see the need to expand the union to include more than just Europe

@People boasting massive technological and societal breakthroughs already

You can't say you have these advantages already when you don't even know if they succeeded in the next turn

That's cool brah, as long as you get Britain to accept the Euro this time. Damn Britain and their Pound Sterling…

Too late to join, now?

Probably. I don't think there are any more good spots for another nation, unless its on Australia, Argentina, Middle Africa or northeast Eurasia.

Sastrei is open to friendly relations with its neighbors and is willing to lend its fair share of supplies to create this hub in the middle of the old Great Plains .

@Eggman Empire; be my pal pls

@BSoD
That's perfectly fine. I chose this starting location for a reason. I'm not in immediate need of anyone's assistance.

So, here are my current objectives for the world, they'll probably take 5ever but I'll list them anyway:
1. Create a railroad to Aeriya with Fridge and Iran's help, thus bridging the gap between Europe and Aisia
2. Connect Eurasia with a telegraph network, which will hopefully be funded when each Eurasian nation builds an economy other than scavenging.
3. Make peace with the Wastelands to connect the hemispheres
4. Encourage the recreation of the United Nations so that nobody will have wars fowling up their shizzle.
5. Make an alliance with Italy to recreate the Axis Powers
Am I really trying to recreate the Axis Powers fore the sole reason of being a Hetalia fanboy? BITCH I MIGHT BE.

When I actually make contact with you all, I'm fully open to negotiations. But I fear that that won't be for a while.

@Falcon you can ally with Marmotia.

Yeah Falcon, you can ally with me. I am making a first world empire out of the third-world continent Africa. Just PM me about updates and moves.

I'm making a World Association of Viriculture.
Who would like to have some outposts of the association in their country?

I am in like Flynn. Whatever that means.

@Iran: This is an agreeable choice of action. We shall wait until the first turn before setting anything in stone.

@Iran I think we need to develop economies and structured society first.

Has everyone taken their turn yet?

yes.

@Iran I just realized…
How are you going to get to Not Soviet Russia to start diplomatic treaties w/o getting radiation poisoning?

Hmm, looks like things are progressing slightly faster than I hoped.

@Iran, in order to quell riots, how about you ONLY castrate morons rather than force mating, so you have a diverse but serperior gene pool. And how about you enslave eunuchs so you have a cheap workforce? But I don't recommend conscripting them, they already hate you for taking their reproductive anatomy. The worst thing you can do is give them a weapon.

@Fridge Nice call with the mock elections, at least until you support public education. Also, that radio set would have nice data if you let me send someone to examine it, to speed up my telegraph development.

How? Your people don't know what electricity is.

Well, examining the radio might give them an idea. Besides, there's a reason I chose the telegraph; it's the simplest form of instantaneous communication. They even invented it before the generator (as we know it.)

Sorry for the double post, but I'm making Otak into a corpocracy, so when we rebuild the world's economy don't take it as an agressive action if one of my corpos sets up a buisiness in your nation.

@iran did some traumatic thing in your childhood with twins lead you to test on them? Srsly, what's your deal with them?

But they knew what gravity and electricity was how putting plants in dirt makes them grow your people don't.

Maybe Iran is a really big fan of Josef Mengele.

@Cale Good point, but I'm certain the people know at least basic stuff. I will look into educating my citizens, though.
@Carnotaur shoosh, there's some serious science going on. It's probably just selective breeding through fertility, after all tons of kids must be stillborn, so studyin what makes a woman fertile will be the key to rebuilding population.

@crona ok.. I guess. I mean this is the week after tomorrow

Hey Fridge, if you come by any silk can you export some to me?

Hey, weasel, If you give me some oil and coal, I can set up a telephone line between our two nations.

Sure Carno, but please return any left over resources because I need that for my techs.

When's the next refresh?

I think you guys need to stop asking every 5 seconds when the next turn will be

Three hour intervals. Not five minutes since 1965.

Maybe a turn every 5 seconds?

Nah, but seriously, do the turns happen on time intervals (1/day), or do they happen once everybody has decided on their move?

They usually happen once a day.

Towards the beginning yes but as the game progresses and gets more complex, it will typically take Syndic more time. You just have to be patient.

@Cale

Your people don’t know what electricity is.

I was under the impression that our cultures do have some vague idea. While much of the electrical infrastructure is destroyed. History may not be and we know that such a thing exists.

If we can easily scavenge enough of our past to make working firearms, then we can scavenge the parts for electrical components as well.

All I know is that the OP says "little to no technological insight".

@turn time table questions:
Once a day if I can manage it. With this many players, it may take a little longer for some turns. Expect them once every other day, although whenever I can I will update as soon as possible.

@technology questions:
Your people do have the ability to use some old world techs, but they certainly do not know how to duplicate them, and might even consider them magical. They have a vague idea of how they work, which is why new technologies only take a few months/years instead of a few centuries to develop.

my location is rather tactically advantageous.
