Bulgaria recovered its lands on a previous incident on the late 1910's. Sadly, it's not an Ottoman Puppet anymore, xD (Greece is not an Italian vassal either, all because of balance)

OK, thanks for an explanation.

(am I left without any puppets? )

Just Crimea, I gave you annexed Armenia and Northern Persia (as you said you planned to go for that) to compensate. There's still ample room for the Ottomans to expand, although be warned, there's going to be a lot of ethnic strife (same goes for Germany, their current empire is very large, but it's going to be hard to maintain).

Well, I have to deal with this. I see some new states in the Caucasus, so... we'll see.

Btw, what happened to Ottoman port on Morocco Atlantic coast? I suppouse Ottomans would be very keen on keeping it in peace treaty.

By the way Lumine,
I think France would have lost much more colonies after a defeat with Germany, but that's your call.

They did lose virtually everything, they got to keep Algeria and Northern Africa because defeat was not total and the British were able to put pressure to prevent further loss. Who will you play as, by the way?

Update: World building is growing large, so I can adventure we'll have several threads for this (perhaps by continents). Chances are I'll put a NO WAR rule among players for the first few turns so we can balance things out and let the scenario grow.

If the game was being played during the 1880's, I would have said Georges Boulanger, and if it was during the 1930's, François de La Rocque, but there wasn't any "major rightwing fascist populist" during this period of the game. So I think that should be a fictional fascist guy or something like that.

Is it going to be a Republic or a monarchy?

I believe you could have de La Rocque rising to prominence earlier.

Oh yes, this is 20 years after,
So Colonel de la Rocques.

[Lumine]

De La Rocque would be fine with me, he'd be 42 and while young, it's still plausible. I find that better than a fictional character.

[windjammer]

So I will play de La Rocque.

[Kingpoleon]

If some sort of Balkan super-state, along the lines of Hungary, Croatia, and Romania, is created, I could play that.

If you decide to leave the Balkans as the interesting jumble it is, I think I'll take Romania, unless you'd prefer me to pick Italy. I'm perfectly content with either.

There. Did I step on anyone's toes now?

Apologies for that again, Kingpoleon, I didn't quite forsee the interest on the game and the different nations to be quite that high. Romania will be perfectly fine (as currently there won't be a Balkan superstate), you are welcome to choose leader, government system and ideology (China is open as well).

You can blame Snowstalker for that.

I doubt that'd be possible.

Russia now settled, Kerensky-led Provisional Government with young Alexei II as constitutional monarch.

[MASHED POTATOES. VOTE!]

I can't wait to see info about other Russian states!

So we've butterflied away his hemophilia?

Indeed, we did that in the original game if you remember. He was born earlier as well, so he is not the Alexei we know.

[Lumine]

By my count, I still need Japan, Spain, Romania and Italy.

[Lumine]

Except for a few details I've asked Spamage to clarify, Spain is ready as well.

Remember when we've been spreading rumours he was illegitimate, and then I've recognized him as rightful Tsar to annoy Snowstalker?

Those were days.

[NeverAgain]

Lumine, is it still possible to sign up? I just saw this and am REALLY excited to see how this progresses.

Sure, who do you want to play as?

[Lumine]

Japan's being prepared too. Southern Gothic hasn't been online since the 13, so still nothing on Italy.

Well, with "no-war for few first turns" rule, I suppouse we may leave some nations unplayable for a while rather than getting stucked at the very start.

[Kingpoleon]

I sign up as Romania. A semi-constitutional monarchy under Prince Nicholas Hohenzollern-Sigmaringen(https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prince_Nicholas_of_Romania ). Our current Chancellor is Gherman Pantea, as the head of the National Liberals, with Vice Chancellor Traian Popovici's People's Reform Party secures a majority vote.

[Lumine]

Noted! All that's left is Japan (and Dereich is working on it) and Italy, and then I can get to writing the backstory.
