A new NES

[civman2000]

Let's get this started before it dies.

In Kentucky and the newly created state of Houston, citizens riot in protest of Union rule. At least 24 blacks have been lynched and 35 whites killed by police.

In the CSA, the Radical Liberal party is gaining ground on the longtime ruling Whig party. However, a new right wing part called the Freedom Party is also strong. However, it still looks like the Whigs will win the upcoming election.

To start off yeah this is based on the Turtledove Series - American Empire. If anyone hasn't read this it is possibly the greatest series of books I have read. The newest book out in Australia, Blood and Iron takes place when this NES is suppoed to start just after ww1 with the CSA and its allies defeated, Canada occupied.

For Civaman any discrepincies on the nature of the book and the playing map is to make most nations have a fighting chance. And in the cse of Britain they never lost their colonies in the novel they only lost the Sandwich Islands (Hawaii), Ireland and Canada.

Okay I agree lets start this before it dies

Considering Civman took the North American people off me I have decide to be Japan. . I reckon Civman that you could do well being the USA for the time being too, until someone else wants it.

The Japanese government although on the Entente side and therfore a loser lost nothing had to pay little in way of reperations. In an attempt to bring peace and Asian rule to China the Japanese army ammasses their troops along the Chinese border.

TO THE CSA We are doing this to ensure that the freedoms we fought for during the Great War do not dissapear now that peace has been made.

TO THE USA If you deign to attack us while we secure the Asain people form futher European imperlism we will decide not to continue with the peace that is so fragile at the moment. Remember you have you hands full in Canada, in Ireland, in The Sandwich Islands and in those states you took form the CSA. You have been warned.

TO THE REST OF THE WORLD We only seek to ensure our survival and that of the Asian people. Do not be alarmed at this as we will not attack a sturdy friend or surpporter and will not intiate any hostility that isn't in our aim to create the Great Asian Co-Prosperity Zone.

NEWSFLASH:

Today a rather unexpected thing happened in the British Parliament. A lesser-known young MP, JDD or Perth, was made Prime Minister.

Sheep: Oops, sorry . And I'll use your suggestion: Until someone wants to lead the US, I will because I control their people.

Election results in! Wade Hampton V, a Whig, has been elected in the CSA, and Roosevelt has become the first president to be elected 3 times in the US! (ooc: This will give an interesting twist on what happens in the book)

Martial law has been declared in Kentucky and Houston. In the CSA, the Radical Liberals are being attacked by Freedom PArty mobs in the streets. ROosevelt has threatened to move the US army back in if the CSA government is unable to preserve order and does not crack down on the anti-Union fanatics.

The US also demands that the treaty requirements (army is medium-small, navy is small, no airforce) be met withing 36 hours realtime or the CSA will be occupied.

Could we maybe have a little nicer, more organized maps?

[jdd2007]

[please]

The CSA agrees to these demands, but kindly requests a non-agression pact, since are military has been reduced to a very small defencive force.

BTW why does the CSA have such a stupid leader name?

[civman2000]

OOC: You can change it if you want, that's just what the name was in teh book.

In the CSA, teh Freedom Party has begun using their mob/army to harass blacks. Roosevelt reiterates his warning that if teh CSA does not crack down on the Freedom Party the US will be forced to occupy the CSA.

Roosevelt has been assassinated! The Ex-VP and new President Wilson declares that the assassin was Confederate, and moves troops across the border, occupying the states of Virginia (including the capital Richmond) and N. Carolina! However, Congress is dominated by a coalition of Socialists and Republicans, who refuse to declare war, say that invading is too hasty and there should be a full investigation (OOC: No one knows but the assassin was actually an insane extremist Socialist). They have passed an emergency resolution halving the military budget allocation (overturning the president's veto) in an attempt to halt the invasion. Congress has also challenged the constitutionality of Wilson's actions and is threatening to impeach him.

OOC: What lands does britain have

England, in a surprising turn of policy, beefs up its military and begins an empire-wide program to turn its economy around. Trading companies are given government surpluses and shipyards begin construction of a new class of steel warship, the Perth.
