I will get this thing rolling by pointing out that I do not have the option to pass a Corporate Subsidy Act or the Trade Union Regulation Act. They do not appear either in the economic list or under those "recently passed".

It isn't and Brazil isn't under any sort of threat. There is an absence of any international tensions and everyone is focussed on internal development. |

On Belgium: What we have here is not quite a failure to communicate, but a misunderstanding of what nations can do and the level of roleplaying/historical veracity involved. This is an OOC matter not needing any IC response. Belgium is a small neutral country that cannot invade any other nations due to practical reasons and can't ally with other nations for basic IC reasons. The bigger issue behind these actions is youth and inexperience. These aren't actions being taken to get a malign advantage; inexperience is not ill will. This then plays into the various levels of historical knowledge and roleplaying. The experience gap between the older hands and the newer chums is coming across as very large. I'm not getting into the forum based roleplaying side of this game for two reasons - firstly, that I don't want to do that sort of thing again and secondly that I want to avoid ending up in the spiral trap of writing up more detail out of perfectionism and setting aside my own writing. Others like Germany, the USA and Japan are going great guns and well done for it. The good thing about this more light-hearted game is that it isn't for sheep stations. |

It would nice if players would read through a Wikipedia page, at least, in order to gain awareness of their situation for the period. |

I'd second that idea. Countries don't get threatened by anonymous letters in this era. |

My position on it is very clear: there are no practical limitations on player actions. I will not discount the possibility of GM intervention in the future, but it would take a very, very extreme case -- something like a person joining and launching wars against everybody just to mess up the game. This is a lighthearted game. It is not WE where we can appeal for a decision on what is or is not plausible. HOWEVER... this does not mean historicity is thrown out the window. Rather, it means that ahistorical or ASB actions will be addressed IC, not with the GM hammer. Putting the two matters together, Myles can attempt to sign an alliance if he wants, and JBK is perfectly within his rights to object to it and make a diplomatic case out of it. Neither of them is in the wrong OOC. It is a case of clashing interests that will be resolved through IC means one way or another. |

The issue isn't a Franco-Belgian alliance, which has been thrown to the salt mines, as much as Belgium not really having anything to gain from any alliance and a world to lose. Brazil doesn't give them anything meaningful and joining the side of either France or Germany isn't good for national health. It is not so much ahistorical but irrational. A little background history and thorough thinking is what I'd recommend. |

That is the type of thing that gets the full green light in this game, being within the purview of the player. |

I consider it more of a bright spirit of enthusiasm. |

However, bright enthusiasm is not the same as getting into a war with the world's superpower by treading in their backyard. |

Also, if we could get more meat exporting countries on the market, that would be swell. (I mean AI nations, for the record) |

You know, I produce meat, and have a Huge Surplus(+10,000 Units per turn huge), and would be glad to export for COLD HARD MACHINERY.

That is still a lot. What did you have on sale? I may have to take notes. I could potentially supply machinery for export. Edited by Great Britain, Dec 19 2015, 10:25 AM.

It was a result of putting up 50,000 steel, some machinery, petroleum, and untold tens of thousands of meat. Being the workshop of the world has its advantages. |

I produce 4,000 units of excess machinery per turn and could use some meat. Feel free to send a trade. |

I hit a very unfortunate barrier, I can't purchase schools due to negative literacy growth. I think it is outpacing the rate in which young people are joining the work force. |

Pass educational reform / wait for the population to grow somewhat. It eventually reaches an inflection point. |
