^Above posters are the reason every turn is late

EDIT: That is the last two posters on the last page (.-.)

Because this game is the only thing occupying Syndics time right? But if he is waiting for someone, it isn't me because when that 24 hours was up, he posted straight away whether I was ready or not

And for the record, my turn is in.

Yes. Syndic does not eat, sleep, or talk to people. He sits in his house waiting for your PM and quietly crying to himself.

Meh, its fine for me i guess. I'm still a 1st world country with one of the most developed infrastructures, high resource production, and lots of room to breathe at the moment. As long as you or konigsberg doesnt plan on invading soon i think ill be fine.

It's possible he has to edit the map* this turn, which is always a reason to delay thing.

*By which I mean, terrain, land, etc.

You don't say.

You know what I mean. Like deleting continents because he doesn't like your face.

RIP Space Australia

Sorry for the delay. I am very sick today, and have had some weird kind of insomnia for the past few days. The hours during which I am not-tired and attentive enough to write anything are few and far between. I'm not sure when I will snap out of whatever this is, so please be patient. The next turn is in progress and will be finished soon, I hope.

@Syndiquil

On behalf of The Wastelands, I hope you get better.
I wouldn't want mein Fuhrer to fall ill…

@Syndic

Syserror also sends you their best wishes and condolences. Get well soon.

Insomnia is bad. It can be hard to rest when sick, but if you are sick then you need sleep. Have you tried knockout-pills?

@Syndiquil

I suppose it would be redundant for me to wish you good health on behalf of the Eggman Empire, but seeing as I am the sole ruler of the Empire, I suppose anything I do publicly is automatically official Empire business.

Get well soon, and try to catch some shut-eye. Maybe try some of those pills BSoD mentioned. Please don't worry so much about the NatRP until you've recovered from your illness.

I've been having some insomnia-related issues as well. Syndic we very well may be soul-brothers.

Don't worry Syndic. Remember that time I ran Meme Jeopardy! and I went away for a few hours, so Alex took over (without me asking or needing him to, but who's counting)? Well, you're in luck!

Map

Info: The map really says it all. Good game folks!

No need to thank me, Syndic; get some rest.

@Brucker
Is that all you got?

@Brucker

Where's the boats?

ALL YOUR BOATS ARE BELONG TO US.

I still blame BSoD. Contagious bastard.

If you build three bridges, do they call you 'Connor, builder of bridges'? Nay!

If you raise three sons, do they call you 'Connor, raiser of sons'? Nay!

But if you spread one plague on NatRP…

Conner, Lord of the Plague. First (and hopefully last) of his name.

Sorry again for the long delay on this turn. I will be trying to make turns daily once again. Thanks for your patience.

Kickassia
Captain Douglas J Falcon
Government: Theocratic Socialist Stratocracy
Military: Basic, Total Conscription
Economy: Basic, Total War
Tech: Imperial Age ==> Industrial Age
-Marmota's military capacity collapses entirely as Kickassia's relentless assault surges inland. Only mountain fortifications around the capital remain as a serious threat.
-Negotiations with the Republican rebels fails to produce any results. Top Brass suggests that the only viable alternative is extermination of the armed masses.
-Weapons and ammunition surges into the north, and the rebels make an attack. Their muskets are Marmotan in design.
-Conscription age is raised to forty. Only industries necessary for fueling the military machine remain standing as the entire workforce is geared towards warfare. High ranking military officials twist laws and arms to get direct control of such industries.
-Trade sanctions are imposed upon Vascony and Cattonia. Imports cease, immediately causing the collapse of a number of vital consumer industries. There are riots in the capital, and massive rationing becomes necessary to keep the war machine afloat.
-A coup occurs when the theocracy attempts to divert some funding away from military expenditures. The Generals seize the High Temple and declare themselves priests of the highest order, transforming the state into a military dictatorship.
-Neighboring city states are invaded. This and other notable military developments have become known across Africa, and a number of independent cities are organizing with the rebels.
-The coast guard is placed on high alert.

Angmar

-Albania is seized with the greatest of force.
-New automobile industries are subsidized and turned towards warfare; civilian vehicles are plated with armor and sent into Albania with the troops.

Otak Empire
Sir Crona Orunitia Equire
Government: Corporate Republic
Military: Average

Sagarmatha
Brucker
Government: Anarcho-communist People's Republic
Military: Average
Economy: Good
Tech: Imperial Age ==> Industrial Age
-The "New Bangladesh Prefecture" is given lax laws regarding capitalism and currency in order to encourage growth in the region. Banks are allowed to open, under the condition that the use of currency does not spread to other regions in Sagarmatha. As a result of Neo-Buddhist and communist aversion to such behavior, only foreigners (mainly Hindu Indians) become employed by banks.
-Eastern militias are allowed to deliver weapons and supplies to Chinese communists. As a result of the weapons shipments, the communists claim their victory. Unfortunately, a charismatic despot quickly comes to power, crushing any hopes that the city would join the Sagarmathan community.
-Governing groups are encouraged to include students in order to transform the committees into classrooms, and neutral monks to keep greed and self interest at a low. A number of these meetings now take place exclusively at The Mill House.

-The fleet embarks for Mozambique, and successfully establishes a base in exile there. Lacking manpower to operate, they fuel the Kickassian rebels with military supplies, forming a strong alliance.
-The capital is surrounded, and the last vestiges of military forces on Madagascar are either pinned down in mountain forts or scrambling north to catch the last boats off the island.
-A policy of guerrilla warfare is called for on the mainland.

>Many of you have included boat-related developments in your turns
>I am proud

Holy crap; I am Not feeling threatened by Russia.

>Space Germans

Edit: My Space Germans from the first game.

You reap what you sow, I see, force answers force, war breeds war and death only brings death. The cycle must be broken somehow.

You know I've been reading this to myself for days now and I still have no idea what you're talking about. Gangnangmarshmallow isn't anywhere near you.

>mfw the country that doesn't have money is more economically advanced then Vascony, the only country with a central bank and stock market

@MDFification:

Thanks, you don't need money to have an economy, although I'll freely admit that it helps.

@Eggman Empire and Leninland
Would either of you be willing to start trading with Cattonia?

Leninland would be happy to establish trade with Cattonia

Yo Syserror. Wanna be friends?

@404

Sure why not. I'll just be taking Kazakhstan if you don't mind

@Vlad

I don't like this new C.B.R nation, they remind me of an extremely terminal cancer.

And apparently it is populated by Germans from space. Definitely a threat to European security.

I think they want Germany back, so you better be careful

@anybody calling CBR German
Charlie Brooker's Reich is the remnant political faction of Britain, which ended up gaining control over the entirety of the moon, which does of course include any German colonists there. However, the Reich is British in origin, and thus aren't likely to bother themselves with Germany first.

I was going to point this out, because I have no idea where everyone was getting German from.

I'm guessing the word "Reich" has automatic mental connections to Germany for a lot of people; it does for me.

Still, I'd be wary of them. They'll be coming back to earth with pre-apocalypse technology.

I'd like to open trade connections with Sagamartha and NSR if possible.

@Cattonia: On behalf of the Eggman Empire, I accept your trading proposal.

Funny, I could have sworn I responded to BSoD's post…

Sagarmatha is happy trade with any peaceful neighbor, and is even understanding of the fact that Europeans may have difficulty spelling our name. I suppose if it's too difficult to manage, we could be referred to as the Everest Republic seeing as you never bothered to refer to former nations like Nippon, Daehan Minguk, or Zhōngguó by their real names.

Anyway, a three-way trade agreement between Sagarmatha, Syserror and NSR would surely be good for all, and we might even consider joining forces to deal with the Aeriya problem.

Yeah… About that.
When I was reading a turn it said you were talking with SLAVE. They're pretty huge, and I don't screw around with my neighbors.

If that's what you mean then I'm going to tell you that I will establish relations with S.L.A.V.E. at my earliest convenience.

>Establishing relations with SLAVE when you could be establishing relations with the Vascon master race

@Brucker

Fantastic. I took Kazakhstan in the hopes that we can make a trade passageway connecting the east with the west. A new silk road in a way.

This should prove vital to our economies, particularly yours since you will be the middleman in Euro-china commerce.

I'm extending trade to you in this upcoming turn

Says the guy not trading with his rich neighbors.

Sure! No silk, though; we are Buddhists.

@404 user not soviet russia:

Are you following all this?

Yes, yes. New silk road, British space nazis, Vascon master-race, finally stopped talking about boats.

Speaking of British spess nazis. I am aware waging war requires a vast amount of food and natural resources. Something i have greater access to than any other country in the Eurasian/European region, and would gladly trade away to fuel the war front.

I'd rather not have to deal with the C.B.R directly but backing Konigsberg and her allies with resources, is the next best thing to actual combat and is mutually beneficial for the entire European economy.

@404

Just ensure to specify trade with me this turn and your supplies will get here

How's trading with your rich neighbours going?

You underestimate my hatred for the Italians.
