Right, China and Japan in.

I have everything I need, you have 24 hours left starting now for final moves, diplomatic missives and so on. After that, I require full silence from players on PM's and moves, and I can post Turn 2 on Sunday.

[Cranberry]

That'd be all from me for turn 1.

Seven hours left.

Turn closed.

Great work, everyone! I'll be working on the end of turn and Turn 2 as we speak, stay tuned for a few surprises.

I'm a bit confused. It's Chinese Republic of Chinese Empire?

[Lumine]

Empire. Chiang is Imperial Prime Minister.

Ah, I'll reflect that. My apologies.

Guantanamo is a problem in every universe it seems.

[Lumine]

Guantanamo is a problem in every universe it seems.

Of course, it wouldn't be Guantanamo otherwise.

[windjammer]

Great job Lumine!
Are you going to post something else before the beginning of Turn 2 and we can start sending PMs?

[Lumine]

That would be the end of turn 1, and I'm writing the player crisis for turn 2. I'll let you all know in this thread when you can post and send PM's again!

I've been thinking of TTL Ottoman government. We already know that the Pashas are leading component of the regime, but since in TTL Young Turks were continuators of Abdul Hamid's reformist course, I think I can assume that several RL Young Turks are now playing important roles. And, perhaps, some RL founders of Republic, like Kemal or Inonu.

Secondly, given that there is no breakup of the empire, and with all the emphasis on multinationalism, I guess we can assume that several figures from post-Ottoman Arab states getting into the circles of power. Just as, perhaps, some people from Armenia and Azerbaijan, that otherwise would gain the prominence in the USSR.

That would be a fair assumption, yes. You are free to use historical Young Turks if necessary. I'm not going to extend my research to Armenia, Azerbaijan and such other places, but if you have any ideas on people you want to use, do let me know.

Yes, I'm about to do some checking on Arab/Armenian/Azeri figures to use.

Um, come to lovely Crimea, guys. Things are, er, never dull x

[Lumine]

I'm off to watch Game of Thrones and then I have to do an essay for university, can't make any promises on the full turn done today. If it's not completed by night, it will be ready by tomorrow afternoon.

[Lumine]

TURN HAS BEGUN.

Lumine, it hasn't been mentioned, but do I still have this enclave in Morocco? (I don't think the Ottomans would give it up after winning the war).

Of course you have it, it shows up in the map as well.
