GDNES2 - The Age of War (2nd Thread)

[GeneralTacticus]

SNESA8 is over and done with, however I will let you in on a little secret. I may say somthing but it doesn;t mean it wont be stopped if you are a little creative about the way you do it. Thats what Nesses are all about.

So you decided to anounce you were going to blow the world up but didn't really mean it? And I don't particularly care that it's over and done with; your behaviour there kind of puts the lie to your claim that you don't care about winning.

As for this there is no possible way in the space of a year Germany could emerge from a war with France, trust them well enough,

France, in case you ahdn't noticed, was a defeated nation, and we still had troops occupying the damn place.

Use their navy which was not as big as the Americans, invade America and still call it realistic.

Maybe you should check your stats. Your navy was smaller than mine alone, and it was being dployed in conjunction with the British and Italian ones.

It took you 3 days RL to do all that. Jesus, I wish we had your army in World War Two, Hitler would of been dead by the end of September in 1939 and Poland would of survived.

Yes, if the world's alrgest standing armies had been possessed and deplyoed by the allies in 1939, Hitler would have been crushed quite easily. He wasn't ebcause the Soviets joined the Nazis, the Americans looked the other way, and the British and French were too terrified to actually try to invade Germany while they were busy.

Argentina does not recognize the "American Empire" and has proposed that the US be given independence under a new democratic government to be supervised at first by several other nations.

[Easthaven I]

Brazil agrees with Argentina, but does not want any European power involving itself in the new US government. The Americas will handle it.

[foolish_icarus]

Britain to Brazil:

You've been remarkably deficient in 'handling it' so far, what are you going to do to ensure that the U.S. doesn't do these things again? We would very much prefer not to have to take care of the U.S., we would rather other American nations do it, but only if you are up to the task.

OOC:
I'm sorry to see you go Sheep, but having fun does not mean being able to pull a massive drafting of people so to make you army, navy and air force enlarge 3,4 or even 5 sizes in one turn, and claiming that the people would not protest for being exploited like that.

The Soviet Union was born because of a similar situation, and I thought that in the US it was more appropriate to have some sort of Civil War, or a "Southerner revenge" (since in those years black were still highly discriminated against in the south, and many southerners were still not very happy about being in the Union)

Furthermore, I have advised you, and all the people in this NES, that a too big expansion of the military would have resulted in major revolts.

China went throught it, Russia as well, and it lasted several game years, why should the US be different

@ SKILORD:

EDIT: Welcome back buddy

Sorry for the way I reacted before editing this, but I had not read your PM yet.

I hope you will accept my apologisies.

Apparently I AM a stupid Italian

Sorry

[Thud]

ooc: Giovanni, you're doing a fine job. I think your actions have been perfectly reasonable.

To the World:
France is not involved in this American war, as we are too busy rebuilding our own nation. However, we condemn the recent turn of events that have led the honourable democratic form of government in America to fail.

[SKILORD]

whe you are using similar rules in your NESes, I feel very offended for it, I believe I was very impartial in this NES, but apparently as some people from outside, which left this NES and than want to rejoin said I wasn't I will not try to moderate this anymore, I'll let all military buildups happen in one turn, and even creating a super-neutron bomb in 1927, let's see how much you will like this NES than.

I thought you were still angry at me for dumping Germany in this game a while ago, I meant no criticism to you, I just thought you were angry wityh me because i was being paranoid and overreacting (as I have apologised for on othre threads).

Sorry again, the US is gonna fr3ee Canada from her impriusonment.

[SKILORD]

The United States, no American Empire any longer, sha;ll sign alliance with Cuba.

[Giovanni Wine]

January 1927

To: Britain, India
From: Australia

We surrender, and if the last British offer still stand, we shall accept it.

To: New USA
From: Venezuela

We don't know what are your new plans, but if you decide to still go against the Europeans, we will continue to help you

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

Russian Revolts ended
After the recent speech of the Czar, saying he would allow a constitution, and go further, downsizing the military budget, the programs of the rebels was emptied, and the real Communist rebels were left without popular support.
As such the last Russian soldiers could easily locate and crush the last rebel stronghold in Astana (Kazakistan), and restore peace in Russia

American Revolutionaries takes power
The American Revolutionaries, helped by large chunkes of the military took power, defeating the government troops which were left without orders.
The Chief of the Rebels, a guy nicknamed SKILORD, is now in power in the United States, and the military troops who helped him get into power have pledged full alliance to him.
US - Stats are now as follow:
Economy: Recession (due to revolution, fighting and bad managment of previous government)
Army: Gigantic
Navy: Huge
Air Force: Medium
Government: Weak Democracy

[SKILORD]

The New United States Government has made several decrees.

The Constitution and everything have been abolished, save the Bill of rights, which we'll keep, they are kept for reference in Washington, we will likewise retain the foundation of that Government, the Three seperate branches and the seperation of powers, this is apparently mostly a cosmetic change to herald in the new era. The new Constiturion of the United States is as follows:

We, the people of the New American Republic. We that have overthrown Dictators. We who hold freedom in our blood. We hereby declare that a new Republic will be instituted on our hallowed shores.

1. All Laws Save a flat income tax of 3% and a Nationwide Sales Tax of 7% will be abolished. The First tax will fund all welfare projects, which are apparently small in number, and very limited.

2. The Second tax will fund the Military. We will also begin a few corporations to make money for us.

3. We will hereby abolish all laws to govern the economy except for a single antitrust law, the Rockstead Law, named after the first Cheif Justice of this New Republic.

NEWS:
The Paris government has agreed to join the Federated New Republic of France. Now that the French government is united, France once again takes its place as a world power. The Portugese have been pushed out of mainland France by a revitalized military, but fighting with Portugal continues on the former Spanish border.

From France:
To USA:
You have an interesting new form of government. While we applaud your victory over the Imperialists, we are cautious about the new administration there. All of your old laws have been abolished. Do you intend to restore rule of law with new legislation soon?

[foolish_icarus]

Britain to new U.S. government:

Will you peacefully withdraw from Canada?


Britain to Australian ex-rebels:

We cannot reward your violent rebellious behavior, however, we may be able to come to an arrangement. If in 3 years there is still a significant portion of the population that wishes to be independent, we will cede to these people Northern territories if:

-The new country agrees to all the conditions set forth in the ‘Ireland format’
-You can put forth reasonable and fair sums to purchase all private land there belonging to individuals who wish to move out
-The new country will accept all and any immigrants from elsewhere in the Commonwealth that wish to give up their British Commonwealth status and attain citizenship in your new country.


To India:

The commonwealth thanks you for all you have done to aid in keeping the peace.

[SKILORD]

The new government has already stated it's desire to withdraw from Canada.

[GeneralTacticus]

July 1927

To: British
From: Australian rebels

We can not do anything but to accept your offer.

To: Britain
From: Quebec

We want to be allowed to join the United States, or at least be independent

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

The Last Government forces defeated in the USA
The Last forces still loyal to the government were defeated in the USA, as the troops lead by General Custer, the grandgrandson of the same Custer which was defeated in Little Bighorn (or was it Wounded Knee??... whatever) have entered the city of Corpus Christi, capturing the old president Sheep,while he was trying to escape into Mexico.
Sheep was now broght back to Washington DC, where the new President SKILORD, will have to decide on his fate (OOC: this is an important decision, something too extreme (on one side or the other) might not be welcomed by the people).

German Electonios Update
Here are the results of the German Elections held in the Reichstag:
The Social Democrats seems to have won the elections, however the right-wingers still own the majority of the seats, so it will be a very difficult government for the Socialists, as they will have an hard time getting their bills passed on by the senate, especially since the Christian Democrats and the Conservatives seems to have united in order to prevent the Socialist to do, what in their opinion is, "a too big of a damage".
Here are the results:
Social Democrats: 36% (180 seats)
Conservatives: 31% (155 seats)
Christian Democrats: 16% (80 seats)
Communist: 8% (40 seats)
Nationalists: 6% (30 seats)
Anarchists: 1% (5 seats)
Others: 2% (10 seats)
