Unless I'm mistaken,  there's an East, West and Central Desert/Taiga

Yeah, that's the idea. It makes sense spatially and gives a division between each lane, as well as providing a little more padding before hitting the capitols.

Question: As the Jungle is not described as having a railroad, does that mean one has to be build before the Moksburgians can exploit it's resources, or is that just wishful thinking.

Having already established roads, Moskurg can reasonably establish railroads at the same time they're building mines and oil jacks.

Oh, ok, so we do not own one fourth of the Desert, but one fourth of East Desert. I guess each of the desert/taiga region control one of the three base ressources?

Also, do the expense credits work for one turn, or forever?

For now, I'm assuming the resources are concentrated in the capitol. This is just because the resource loss would be really crippling once even one section of desert or taiga is contested. Expense credits work for one turn only.

Also, are we allowed to brown-nose to the observers?

Certainly, although I haven't got a specific reward set aside. On the same note, you could publish something about how the other nation is terrible and would make a poor addition to the League of Nations.

This is unnecessary. Moskurg already doomed themselves in this regard.

Present the following transcript, actually said by a Moskurgian official, to the British diplomat:

[Our having sex with tigers is] just going to impress them. I mean, this is the english we're talking about, they're not above doing the same thing, just with more placid animals (Like sheep, goats or Arstotzkan women)

Explain that the Moskurgian is just insulting our women and that Arstotzkans don't actually have sex with sheep or any other non-human animal.

Glory to Arstotzka.

Hehehehe.

Can we dig a bay in the plains? After all, one of the reasons that was given was to compensate the lack of rail link in the jungle. :p

[10ebbor10]

I think the GM already said that the plains can be used for naval logistics, but not as a staging area.

Well, not until we develop nuclear weaponry, anyway.

[Sheb]

My point exactly. Maybe we could dig a port. :p

during their stay, british diplomats get to read Arstitzkan newspapers,including articles such as

tsk. such lowly character, those Moskurgs.

see you in 30 years, heh

[andrea]

hey, I am trying to be sort of historically accurate. This was a period in which scientific racism was common, and eugenics talked its way into many governments of the world.

of course, after WWII it will be a quite embarassing point to discuss.... but that is, as you said, 30 years in the future

[tryrar]

Don't forget the illustration!(thanks to sheb for this!)

Fig. 1. The superiority of the Arstotzkan race is self evident from anatomical features. Centuries of coitus wit tigers have left the Moksburger with the typical small cranium and extended jaws of the lower races.

[andrea]

right. revised article

Sheb, you are hired in the propaganda office!

[Iituem]

Filthy Arstotzkan propaganda.  Such claims are refuted in the superior Moskurger, the reading choice for any sensible ambassador!

[andrea]

oh, very nice. I need to improve at layout.

[Andres]

I did a thing. It was meant to be released during the year we were supposed to get out propaganda but I was only half way done when the deadline was up. I finally managed to get around to finishing.

EDIT: For those who are wondering, Arstotzka has such a good economy that that's real topaz the Arstotzkan soldier is proposing with.

[evilcherry]

Do you have anything better than faux Cyrillic and tiger-talk?

[Andres]

Andrei Zhuyev is supposed to have 9 kills in total by now but under Soldiers he's only recorded with 4.

[Taricus]

He probably only got one extra kill in the last year.

That being said, is Arstotzka able to explain why they should join the league, or are they just capable of slinging mud only? Whereas Moskurg is generous and welcoming to the ambassadors of the glorious british empire, even offering tigers for the zoological society in london to put in the zoo.

Also, Moskurg would like to state that Arstotzka is also in league with the communists, supplying the soviets with tanks/torture chambers and are very much communists themselves who abhor a free market and liberalism in it's entirety, executing poor engineers for being unable to complete their evil leaders impossible requests.
