    The World 1999 XXII - The Second Rebirth

    Here we go again.

    These are the rules, made by the World 1999 god, Aman:

    <center><table width=80%><tr><td><font color=000080 face="Verdana" size=2><font size="1">quote:
    <img src="/images/blue1.gif" width=100% height=1>
    </font>1) You can take 1 large country (eg China, Russia, Brazil etc) or 2 medium countries (eg Britain, France, Iraq etc) or 4 small countries (eg Ireland, New Zealand, Portugal etc) though this may be decided on a case-by-case basis.
    2) Time: 1 day(real time) = 2 weeks(story time)
    3) Battles are to be resolved either by consensus between the players after both sides have had a chance to respond.
    4) Technology is as it is today (this is taking place NOW in 2000, ex-nay the titles )

    All story threaders are encouraged to join this story and to post as frequently as they can to make it fun.

    With the formalities over, let us begin.

    Pick a nation and join the World 1999!

    I claim France and the Lowlands as the French Republic.

    - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

    Elections are over. Jauques Chirac had lost his place as President. There is a new President, President Jean-Paul Luc. He will make France greater than ever before. With the recent annexation of the Lowlands, French is being introduced into Holland. Soon all of the French Republic shall be Francophone (French Speaking). President Jean-Paul Luc made a speech:

    </font>Citizens of France,
    France has gone through a downfall in the Twentith Century. Germany has invaded our great nation twice and succeded once. But that shall not happen again! We shall become the best nation in Europe, with the best economy. Citizens, we shall make a Third Empire! Viva la France!
    <img src="/images/blue1.gif" width=100% height=1></font></td></tr></table></center>

    People in the backround are cheering for the new President. Ex-President Jauqes Chirac slumped over his couch at his home at Paris.

      I will take Germany, Denmark, Austria and the Czech Republic.

      With a series of conservative triumphs across central Europe, Germany once more emerged onto the world stage. Soon Germany would seek out its place in the sun as a world power.

      Name: The Federal Republic of Greater Germany
      Government: Federal Republic
      Leader: Wilhelm Groener

      EDIT: Switched from Netherlands to Denmark in claim.

        I'll take the US of A.
        --------------

        President Bolo J. Tarmagin sat in the Oval Office contemplating the future. He knew that the United States would remain the world's superpower for decades to come but something bothered him. During his child hood he had been a firm believer in Manifest Destiny and he believed the United States should be the only nation on the North American continent, no Canada, and no Mexico. But that would be stupid, Mexico is too poor, Canada is where the future lay, massive resources, lots of fresh water. Yes Canada would be indeed the target, diplomatically if possible but violence if necessary.

          For there is [another] kind of violence, slower but just as deadly, destructive as the shot or the bomb in the night. This is the violence of institutions -- indifference, inaction, and decay. This is the violence that afflicts the poor, that poisons relations between men because their skin has different colors. - Bobby Kennedy (Mindless Menance of Violence)

            The plebiscite was over, and a new nation had been created. The citizens of Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia, and Belarus had voted to join their nations together into a single country, the United Baltic States. Six months earlier, Portland Trailblazers basketball player and Lithuanian nationalist Arvydas Sabonis had returned to his homeland to lead the campaign for unification between the four countries. His unexpectedly brilliant political leadership resulted in a victory in last week's plebiscite. Elections for Prime Minister of the new nation will be held as soon as possible, and it is expected that Sabonis may be one of the leading candidates.

                Gian, please don't split up countries. The entire point of this thread was so that it would parallel at least a bit of the real world. If you want China, take it all (And YES! I am mad since I had it last time! :mad or if you want Korea, take it, either one.

                If you don't want China, I'll take it. Otherwise, I would like to claim Great Britain and Ireland? That might not be too realistic, but it's just a first claim right? Hell, Sahib claimed Germany and Vietnam the first time out, so this isn't too much worse.

                    Sorry Bearcat, I claimed Italy first.
                    Mao: Sahid didn't claim Vietnam/Germany as one country, he was just going to run both at the same time.

                    I'll wait one mroe day for claims before I start storywriting.

                      Mao, whicever one you take (China, or the UK), I'll take the other, so if you would please decide.

                      If it does, then Coach says, "Good job number eight."

                        I take Poland, Ukraine, and Slovakia

                        The presidents Aleksander Kwasniewski (Pol), Leonid Kuczma (Ukr), and Rudolf Schuster (Slo) had met in Warsaw and signed the document which creates the Slav Confederation.

                        The head of Slav Confederate will be president which will be elected for 4 years by the nations of Ukraine, Slovakia, and Poland. There would not be the Confederate Parliament, but the seperate parliaments which will be approve the decisions of President and his gov. President will have the power to change the decisions of national goverments declare war, and will be the head of army. Slav Confederate has Joined Headquaters of 3 armies and will coordinate the moves of Slav Armies.

                        The elections will be made on 25 May of 1999

                          My decision is contingent of what nation Gian takes. If he takes China, then I will take the UK, unfortunately leaving you with nothing. If he doesn't, I will take China and you can have the UK.

                          Hans, oh yes, you're right. But IIRC both entered into a convenient little defensive alliance.

                            Okay, just to make sure that I end up with a nation, here is what will happen.
                            Gian takes China, Mao takes UK, I'll take India
                            Gian takes Korea, Mao will choose, and then I'll take the one left.
