Since we seem to come to an agreement I won't go to much into it, but the only problem with your suggestion is that I will have no control what so ever with you keeping your word. That I would have if I had Kuwait

Wait, keeping my word on what exactly? What could I have done to the railroad from Kuwait that I couldn't do from Baghdad or even Mosul?

Your analysis of my military situation don't scare me

Er, that's about what I expected you to have.

I think you mean Mesopotamian.

This month peace came back to the civilized world. The German and the British Empire could finally settle with the proposed peace plan.

Therefore all British Warships has been ordered back to its home ports. All weapons has been put down and all military operiations has been canceled. The Middle Eastern artillery divisions has set their eyes elsewere. Destination Damascus and Cairo

The trade embargo was lifted, and the long awaited German beer was even alowed again around the kingdom. This was met with so much joy that Eivind announced this day to be 'the German Beer Day'. He, together with aprooval from the Parliment, made it illegal not to be 'drunk like a German' on this day. When Russia signs this peace agreement we probably will have to make a 'Vodka day' or something, and 'Champagne day' for the French

This peace agrement also ment the end of British military actions against the Russians ans the French. We hope that this will once again bring peace to the civilized world and for all of us to live in harmony

To celebrate this new peace agreement some crazy British generals went down to the uncivilized world and invaded Spain. All Spanish cities secured.

That's a little presumptuous, don't you think? We haven't heard anything from France or Russia yet!

I've heard from both Russia and France. Not that they for sure will sign, but Russia sent some positive impulses.

Thanks? Actually I have mobilized down there for a while now...

Just saying good work on taking it all in one turn, before anyone can say a word. Sounds familiar.

Emu asked me to make a new map:

[JamesJKirk]

I'm still doing a little bit of negotiating before I post my turn, but first I wanted to float a little proposal by that may help prevent what happened in the run-up to this war.

While it's good that the war's caused us to be more vocal with claims to cities that we consider to be vital to ourselves, I'm still concerned about how viable these claims will always be. As I said before, I could just claim Timbuctu to stop someone else from getting it, when there's no way I could back up my claim.
So, why don't we have "sunset provisions" to all territorial claims? All claims could be valid for say, a year, after they're made, but after that point, the claim's relenquished and the city goes to whoever gets there first. This would stop outrageous claims, and give the claimant an incentive to occupy the place with haste and not to overextend themself.

What do you all think?

France, feels its threaten from South and North
And wishes that the British allow french ships pass the suez canal and also that France is allowed to invade Bangkok/China
+ thoose nice 500 golds

[Dr. Nick]

Japan will not tolerate any European encroachment in China. It is our lebensraum, as determined by our Sun Goddess Amaterasu.

I'll send the gold over right away, and you will of course be allowed through the Suez Canal.

I think the Americans made a claim for Bankok?

Sounds like a reasonable suggestion. I can agree to that.

[Dr. Nick]

We will not allow any European encroachment (or American) in China.

[Darius871]

Personally I'm not too sure about sunset provisions, because we are very likely to more have irreconcilable disagreements over them.

I think each of us should define what are our ironclad and self-evident spheres of influence are (central Asia and Manchuria to Russia, northern China to Japan, Iraq and Turkey to Germany, the Americas to the U.S., etc.), and have everything not specifically in these spheres be first come, first serve.

Apparently not, ask the Spanish.
