Fellers, good job. You've just pointed out why democracies don't work and have possibly turned a nice, enjoyable forum into a long arduous pathway to a hell where everyone keeps whining with a high pitched voice. If I may add my five cents here, I can tell you that over half of the forums I have been in have fallen inactive after someone uses the sentence "Okay, I've had enough of this." Agitation, whining, flaming and pressuring other RPers will not work in any form or way to finish this discussion. Regarding the British Empire: Everything that should be said about the British Empire has been said already. It's weak because it's so huge. If you necessarily want him to become a small state, be my guest. Knowing Vex he will use the bonkers British army to utterly annihilate you since he then can spare the manpower and equipment to do so. He's spread thin and can't be any sort of threat to you except for maybe the diplomatic sense of being an old and respected Empire. That's pretty much the only thing going for him, unless you take into consideration the superiority over international trade routes, which apparently in this RP don't mean scrap because everyone has every resource readily available in the exact quantities they will ever need it. There is no need for trade, ergo no reason for trade-related treaties, which leads us to the conclusion to expect a very, very long Cold War between at least eight too-big-for-their-own-good superpowers. Regarding Germany: Canada, he just wants some white lines inside his territory. He's being a dick about it, sure, but so are you. All he's asking is for some white lines. To be honest, fellers, if you want to destroy this forum before it has even one single IC post, feel free to go ahead. I won't stop you. I have better things to do than watch another forum go down in the middle of all the OOC infighting. Just send me a message when you're through with the flaming and ignorance towards each others and are ready to really get this forum started. |

We're good now I think. My apologies for the public outburst. If no one else has any qualms about their own territory, let's turn our attention to other things. The Middle East will soon find itself occupied once Egypt gets here, and the issues with Romania have been resolved (so I will put it on the map). Now. The economic system I hear is in need of our attention. I saw we turn to that. Perhaps we can even start some RPing some events and the like. |

Howdy. Egypt here. Finally. I hereby claim Egypt, Sudan, Ethiopia, Libya, Tunisia, Sudan, Somalia, (plus all the tiny states in between them and the ocean, such as Eritea, Djibouti), as well as Saudi Arabia, Yemen, Oman, Turkey (as far as Istanbul), (plus all the tiny nations such as Qatar and Kuwait), Iraq, Iran, and Suez, (as far as the border with Israel and whatnot, which remain property of Great Britain) A few of these tiny regions will be folded into larger regions, because having 20 states the size of tennis courts is just silly Any problems with this? |

First of all, Suez (which is supposed to come together with the Sinai Peninsula if I am not mistaken) and Palestine are British colonies. Second, is it just me or are you asking for a wee bit much of a territory? |

Again, Germany, I'd appreciate it if you didn't keep speaking up like this. It's only aggravating the forum administrators, and I understand they much prefer to speak directly with me regarding British Imperial territories. Your loyalty and dedication is appreciated, but entirely misdirected in this instance. I hope you will in future communicate your concerns with me privately, rather than continue to annoy and irritate everybody else here by leaping to dispute certain things. On the matter itself- I have no problem with the claims, with the sole exception of Suez. Suez must remain un-nationalized and in the hands of British and French corporate interests. If you wish to late nationalize it, I would be more than happy to roleplay the subsequent invasion and battle for control of this crucial waterway. But to start with it already claimed by Egypt is just silly, in my opinion. I'm a little uneasy about your vast and sudden seizure of so much territory, and if its not too much trouble I wouldn't mind if Turkey, Iran, Saudi Arabia, Oman and Sudan/Somalia were all 'disputed' territories- either with us, with 'France' or with the locals themselves. I'm sure Ataturk would have something to say about a sudden, vast Egyptian annexation of Turkey, for example. Otherwise, I see no vast problems with this starting arrangement, none that can't be resolved through roleplay at anyrate. ![]() |

Can I inquire about the status of Sudan, in specific? It was an Anglo-Egyptian condominium and of neither state's complete de jure possession. |

I would suggest that Libya, Tunisia, and the African Horn (Ethopia, Somalia, and the "lesser" counteries) be left for open in the event we pull in either a French or an Italian player (hopefully both), both of whom have particularly heavy investments in those territories (and in the politics, economy, and overall history of the timeline we're RPing). Everything else sits perfectly well with me, since I'm aiming for everyone to have fairly large amounts of territory relative to what they're trying to RP. Just to make clear, I've defined the current "British Suez/Palestine Zone" as containing all of the Sinai, the Suez Canal up to about a mile or so on to the west side of the canal, and all of Israel/Palestine. So do please let me know how specifically you wish to divvy this particular plot of land up. |

Regarding Australian land claims. Britain I would like the north of Borneo if at all possible, I'm not demanding just asking. Secondly Canada If its not too much to ask, on the final map build if you could split Australia mainland into two pieces. Just a line straight down the middle and I'll call them East, and West Australia. Thanks Regarding other nations with large continuous land masses. I think It would be best to divide those masses into manageable chucks. For example Canada you can divide into historical provinces, and maybe combine all the Easterly provinces into Quebec or something. Same thing For Britain, If you can combine some of the smaller countries or territories you posses to easy the economic calculation process, and to even out the playing field. This way when Canada calculates his resource production he can receive 10000 or 20000 tonnes a piece from 6 or 7 provinces rather than 20000 tonnes from all of Canada. It just makes more sense this way I think. |

If it makes it easier for the economic system, you got it. Once everything has been settled, I'll go ahead and update the map. |

Okay, I'm going to go ahead and start work on the finalized version of the map (since I haven't seen anything else pertaining to the subject in a couple weeks). So, if you've got anything really important you want, let me know now so I can take care of it. |
