So we have an agreement?

For those who want this map, it can be downloaded here
.
Russian Fedora has been bugging me to get it for him, so I'm releasing my map to the public. You will need Paint.Net to edit the map, as it is a PDN file with layers and such. Also, I have taken the liberty to draw borders on the map for modern role-plays (like what the OP in this thread was). The base for the map was Hearts of Iron 3's map, which is very deformed from IRL. This means that certain areas such as Columbia, Nepal, and the Balkans are going to be skewed and messed up. I did my best to draw in the borders as realistically as I could.

A little late, but thank you Syndic for super explaining this world to us!

>Wake up
>log on to kym
>See that Bythian wasn't blown up by HAZE.

Yes, Josh, we have an agreement.
& I'd love to GM a roleplay of this variety, but I'm terrible at photo editing ( as you've seen by my flags and treaty proposals) XD So I'll download la map and save it for when I acquire said skills.

For people who want to make their own RPs, I would suggest using a completely new map to break up the monotony.

Deisa would accept these conditions as long as all hostilities stop against civilian targets of Deisa; particularly, cease fire and re opening of trade routes with the Sweetiebellion nations and the options of joining it at a later date.

Regards,
Deisa

Just got Back from mexico, did I get booted?

Muchas gracias senor

I no speaky the Español, but you're welcome! I'm Sicilian and it's always killed me that the in- game Sicily was divided, so I figured with all the land cessions going on, I'd unite the island by giving it to a nation that has earned my trust and respect.

Just got my turn in and am willing to sue for peace. As a sign of good faith I'm withdrawing from mainland Sweetiopia.

As the biggest economy in the game I'm seeking mutually beneficial trade agreements with all nations, including Lakota, who I'm willing to talk with regarding a mutually agreed border.

Pm if interested

Notes
-Factions (Fascist, Communist, Absolute Monarchy, or Democracy) are now displayed on the map by different fonts (Deutsch Gothic, Kremlin, Lucidia Blackletter, Courier New) respectively.
-Technology may no longer be imported through trade, as we have reached the stage where most techs are going to be highly guarded state secrets.
-Spy actions may now be made at one action per turn. You may sabotage projects, steal technological gains, incite rebellions in weak areas, gain valuable military espionage to plan an attack, etc.

Global Events
-Peace! Giozzario surrenders after Rivãlsò Anòro commits suicide, and cedes vast amounts of territory. Hephaestus also bows out of the war with Yudea and many other small Asian nations they had invaded. These two defeats of previously invincible world powers has shown the civilian populace of the world that the global superpowers are not as great as they had seemed, and it has sparked off a wave of riots and rebellions for people demanding sovereignty and better treatment.
-Postwar economic production is booming as the soldiers come home to their farms and factories and military production drops. While West Africa, Central North America, and Northeastern Asia were devastated by the war, other nations such as the United States and Equestria remained largely unaffected and were able to tap into their neutrality to preserve economic might. Stock markets around the world are soaring, promoting a seemingly endless buy-invest-profit cycle of growth.

Great job, Giozzario! Kill me and Gueyllano, then make peace. This is why I want to be in round 3. :)

Okay, so I got my techs back.

I didn't know you wanted to do another round! I thought we were ending it after the essay!
I sent my turn! Please, don't kick me!!

.
Sahara
A desert wasteland populated by migratory tribes of Berbers and nomadic peoples. The Sahara acts a little more than a hindrance to trade and movement, and its sandy expanse is not worth much for those who own it.
.
Sahel
This sub-Saharan grassland marks the end of the desert and the start of fertile ground. It is good for farming and hunting, and provides a large amount of food for Tita. This region is almost entirely rural.
.
Tita
The ancient homeland of the Titans and Xanthosans, racial and ethnic brothers of West Africa. This region is fairly forested with jungle plants and is the world's number one producer of gold. Exotic wildlife and ancient cities provide great tourist atractions, although many of these ancient landmarks were leveled in the recent war. This region is very well developed and contains over 90% of Tita's industrial base.
.
Congo
A dense and thick jungle covers the Congo in central south Africa. There is very little infrastructure to speak of aside from major rail lines built specifically for trade during the naval blockades of the last war. This region is famous for its lumber export and exotic furs.
.
The Cape
The southernmost region in Sweetietopia contains the least densely populated region in Africa, and makes up the majority Sweetietopia's farming community. This rural region provides grains, cattle, and fruit.
.
Calaxnar
One of the most densely populated regions in Africa, Madagascar and the coastline directly across it make up the ancient Calaxnan homeland of modern Sweetietopia. Having been long since clear cut of the jungles there, these regions produce large quantities of farming products, livestock, and factory goods, and make up the industrial base of the nation.
.
Somalia
Rural like the cape, Somalia is not worth much to its controller aside from access to and control over the Red Sea. Somalia's primary economic boon is trading and acting as a middle man between the far east and the Mediterranean.
.
Deisa
Similar to Somalia, this region monopolizes on the lucrative buy-and-sell commercial model. In addition, due to the factories located there, Deisa is able to manufacture a good number of various industrial goods, making it a strong trading centre for taking raw materials from the east and selling finished products to the west. Being that this region is and has been Deisa's homeland and contains the oldest continual settlements in the world, Deisa is a popular tourist attraction for explorers and vacationers alike. The people of Deisa are extremely patriotic and extremely devout to their ancient faith.
.
The last part of these will come tomorrow or the day after.

I said the game ends on turn 18, not 16. Why on earth would you think otherwise?
.
And regarding this, I have extended the end turn to 20, and this may be subject to change depending entirely upon what situation we are at when we get there.

Well, this was a misunderstanding. Do you mind if I keep going, in that case?

@EP73… I'm sorry! It wasn't kill you guys then make peace, my nation was cornered into peace by the advancing Sweetiebellion. But, I will happily become your ally next time!
.
Also, I want to take back Texas by invasion, but I'm afraid to do that without the Sweetiebellion's "consent" (for lack of a better word). I don't want you thinking that I'm going back on a war-mongering streak, I'd just be taking back my colony, but I won't instigate any more violence until I know it will be contained to Giozzario and Texas. Syndic, could you let me know what their military quality/ size is, so I don't bite off more than I can chew?
.
I desperately need to rebuild my economy. Oil and national exports can only amount to anything if we have trade partners, so The People's Republic of Giozzario asks that we expand our trade network, and that other nations continue to trust trade with the new Giozzario.
.
A word from Rivãlsò Scarpònè II, I am seeking for refuge in a Zçùlan nation willing to accept me. I fear for my life in the city that my position once ruled. Specifically, I would be grateful if Borgia accepted me, as a nation with a high number of Giozzi Catholic Zçùlanists. I am merely a messenger to Zçùla, yet the Giozzi government wants me dead.
Oh and I love your essay Syndic :3

Tita/Sweetopia:
How do you want to do this? I'll withdraw from Madagascar and call off the blockade if you withdraw from Libya

Quick question, I was the first country to discover electricity and the railway, so why is it listed under everybody's econ section, but not mine?

I looked back and I cannot find a place where it is listed under your techs. You sure you invented it first? Or at all?

Turn 12, it said that I invented Electricity, way back in the colonial age. And I'm pretty sure I imported the railway before the war, but I could be wrong.
EDIT: And I know that tech importation isn't allowed anymore, but the Railway is an old tech, so could I import it, in the case I haven't already, in order for me to continue to invent "new" things?

I discovered electricity in turn 13, started exporting tobacco in turn 11, and according to your essay, have railways in my occupied land. Yet none of them are labeled next to my econ.

Technically everyone should have railways and electricity at this point, thus making it a redundant technology. I do recall thinking this when I was making the turn, giving people atomic research and computers without electricity. I will fix these things with tomorrow's turn by removing the technologies railway and electricity from all the lists. Thanks for bringing that to my attention.
.
Also, @Vulcan, no I will not allow you back in. I honestly considered kicking you a while ago for snapping at Vlad like you did, but I am pretty laid back sometimes and let it slide. Then you missed the turn, and sent in five words for tomorrow's turn in your PM. Five words. I am drawing the line here.

Okay, thanks Syndic.
.
Now for an official message from the Socialist Assembly of Giozzario.

Giozzario, as well as the other Communist nations of the Earth, have banded together in the wake of the recent world affairs, and have formed a Comintern alliance known as красный друзья, krasnyĭ druzʹya, or, in English, Red Friends. This new alliance consists of Giozzario, Yudea, Cuba, Bangladesh, Burma, Vietnam, Australia, Cambodia, and Malaysia.
.
As the strongest (and only player controlled) nation in красный друзья, Giozzario will be it's voice and hold the presidency of the organization. Our first goal is to ask Hephaestus to withdraw from Australia and the Caribbean islands, so that proper Socialist governments may solidify their rule. Our secondary goal is to claim Kayin for Burma.
.
This is not a violent, and/or expansionist alliance such as my former one, HAZE, but is merely meant to improve relations between communist nations and provide a buffer force in the case one of the member nations are attacked.
.
This is not a mutually exclusive union, and Giozzario is NOT closed to joining other alliances. We hope to ally ourselves with other nations willing to protect Giozzi sovereignty in exchange for our military and monetary support.

I see how it is.

Just don't screw anything up with my people.

Commie Scum….

Me and Shock Value just aren't going to get along in this game at all, are we? lol
At least I'm off your lawn and not spreading my religion anymore. xD

Deisa is happy to announce that we, the nation of Deisa, has become allies with the nation of Sweetieopia and the Sweetiebellion.

May we prosper in times of peace.

Really? This game ends in two more turn, pending more?
It seems like there's so much that can happen. It's just so damn addictive. <3
Nothing beats waking up, making a cup of tea, having a smoke and checking over this thread before work.

I really want to steal this and do it on one of my other forums.

I swear, somewhere in this thread, I posted the PDN file for the map, and now I can't find it. Did a mod remove the post cuz it had a download link in it or something? I had no idea that was against the rules.
.
Ehm, anyway, if you want the map just PM me. You will have to learn how to use Paint.Net to use it, tho.

It's on the second post on this page :P

Well, I didn't want to STEAL it, so much as use the idea of a ruling a nation with others. I probably wouldn't use a global map, maybe not even a real map. Maybe some fantasy world.

By the way. How in god's name did Japan become Equestria, and The Caribbean become Atlantis?

The OP does not at all describe the game we are currently playing. We are on game two, in which everyone started out as a stone age tribe and migrated about to build their own culture and nations from scratch.
.
And then the map is all messed up (Atlantis, California, Australia, and the British isles) cuz I was feeling unappreciated that nobody was even looking at what I posted, so I mixed things up a bit to get their attention.

So, uh, you're welcome… I think… I'm not sure what that^'s supposed to mean. xD
I have a great memory, so if you need to find something on this thread, I can probably help you.

Its called a facepalm.
.
"The action conveys a message of dismay and is often a reaction toward someone’s momentary lapse of logic, judgement, or memory. This reaction may be directed toward another person or be self-deprecating."

Ah yes, I know what a facepalm is… I've just never seen one like that. I couldn't tell if he was praying or what, lol.

Statement from Hephaestus

Withdrawing from Australia OR Cuba would be a sign of weakness on my part. Think taking out a small nation is easy? Think again, because small nations typically have larger friends (For example YOU). Red "Friends" can keep all their members except Australia and Cuba due to these two being Colonies that I will soon own.

I won't attack you, and you won't attack me. Deal? But IF you decide to attack me I wish to remind you that we are the only Nuclear Power on the face of the Earth with access to atom bombs.

Well, the whole thing wasn't even my idea…
But, yes, we still have a valid non- aggression pact, so relax about me attacking you. I, will, however, send military aid to my allies in the form of economic and technological help. We just want Cuban and Australian independence, though Giozzario is not ready to enter another war.
Lastly, by next turn, I will have nukes, as a nuclear reactor is already built in Giozzario. I'm guessing if there's going to be a cold war, it'll be between us.

If it does come to that I hope we'll have more control than Russian Fedora and can resist the urge to nuke everything.

I can agree with you about that.

We need to set down some Hephaestus-Red Friends agreements due to the fact that we're right next to each other.

A. Non-Aggression Pact

B. Hephaestus gets Australia and Cuba, but will not invade any other Red Friends countries

C. No Cold Wars. You all know what happened last time we had one.

Note: I'll be calling your alliance/pact Red Friends because I don't feel like copy+pasting all that Cyrillic whenever I want to refer to your alliance.

A. I'm okay with no wars for now, so I agree, unless we happen to just get really mad at you. Also, remember, Yudea is a Red Friend too, so don't think we'll be able to easily take down later.

B. I'm not ready to settle for this. I want at least one of them to have independence. If you want to keep us from embargoing you, pick one to annex, and one to join us. I don't care which you pick.

C. Cold Wars are inevitable. When two or more rival powers have access to nukes, they are natural. There will always be tension and temptation to send your enemies to hell using atomic bombs once you have them lol.

New Borgian flag:

You can keep Cuba. We've made too much progress in Australia to give up now.
