Okay, whenever I get to an actual computer I'll post an action, but this is one nice map. Just to clarify, all of of south america is uncolonized?

Thank you! And yes, South America is just a bunch of tribes and clans. Also, please don't post until I write out the turn 1 stuff

[tntey]

*Plot*
The world cheers in celebration of a new century.  Nothing very eventful happened this turn.  Tensions are at their usual high, people are their usual bigoted selves.  Time for government to step in and exploit the peace.

So, first turn. Post the three acts or things your country wants to do.

[SaberToothTiger]

1. Send colonists to Egipt, particularly the Sinai Peninsula.

2. Send colonists to the eastmost part of South America

3. Enact the "Discovered Land Act".

The act basically states that any person that registers as a colonist is elligible to receive 20 acres of land in the new world. To be able to register as a colonist, you have to live in a colony, work there for two years and swear loyalty to the crown. Any colonist that was with the original expedition shall also receive a monthly pension from the state after they spend twenty years in a colony.

 Shortly after the arrival of Plokhoy Ostrov to this world, the Council held a special meeting to discuss what exactly was going on. By the time the meeting was broken up they had decided on three courses of action.

1. The establishment of a 'Department of Armaments', to be incharge of developing and production of equipment for the nations armed forces. In addition, the department has been ordered to begin development of an airship.

2. The establishment of an armed forces consisting of:
  -The National Guards, incharge of home defense.
  -The Expeditionary Forces, incharge of hitting things elsewhere.
  -And the Exploratory Forces, incharge of, well, exploring. Also hitting things elsewhere.

3. The formation of a new set of communes dedicated to the exploitation of raw resources, primarily strategic resources.

-edit-
 The council, during a second meeting, sends non-agression pacts to: The Commonwealth of New France, The United States of America, Elaed Glew, and The Great Empire.

 They also send ambassitors to these locales, aswell as to Arstotzka, Arqubuzlpan and The United Provinces of Russia.

(Also, the Great Empire? What a name.)

[vkiNm]

With apparently a new century passed and tension looming in the Air, something must be done in Equestria. For the Betterment of her people and in the name of the Goddess Empress.

1. "Strike the Earth!"
Equestria is Fertile, the land is vast and her resources plentiful. It is time that she feeds her hungry people. The government shall provide empty, unused land to large families to move in, with some funding and tools for them to build their homes and ranches and toil their new land, with seeds to plant. Under the direction of the Government, no one in Equestria shall starve!

Oh and that Mountain? Yeah, we probably should start mining it. Some families given pickaxes will do!

2. "And they shall know her name.."
What's the best way in meeting new people? Why, with peaceful hands and friendship, of course. The Equestrian Government shall encourage for small groups of moderately funded volunteers to sail out towards both the Europes and the Americas as missionaries to land wherever fate may take them and take the words of the Goddess Empress with them, so that they may share with the world the beauty of Equestrian Faith and Culture. To build missions where prayers and education can be given to any who wishes for it.

3. "When in Peace.. Prepare for war."
With the endless wisdom of the Goddess Empress, the Equestrian Government are graced by her words. And it's so true! who knows what the other nations across the globe are doing? or what will they do! What can ensure the safety of all of Equestria and her people? Why, good education, of course. Right now, the industry is still being planned, and it will take time before a grand fleet or army could even be made.

But what we can do now is prepare the people for it, Equestria shall send out words that the Country needs a single son or daughter from every family throughout the land for the newly formed 1st Imperial Guard Regiment. Even if we don't have modern equipment to gear them with, uniforms will come in time. Until then, the Officers can start drilling disciplines into them, the priests shall keep them ever loyal and faithful to the Goddess Empress, and the very country will be their training ground where they are taken out by their officers to pave roads, march long hours, repair buildings, help til the fields and generally work for the betterment of the country including picking the cotton and working in cloth workstations to make the uniform for themselves and their fellow.

That should stroke their national pride while help making them become obedient, strong and enduring people, prime and ready for the next phase of training!

Finally, Forenia is under the complete and rightful control of Arstotzka! No longer will progress be held back by the savagery and immorality of the disgusting Moskurg! With all the resources of Forenia and a united people at her side, Arstotzka the world shall bask in the glory of Arstotzka's star! Glory to Arstotzka!

1. Set up a Weapons Engineering Department which will develop weapons, armour, transportation, and other military technologies for use. Their first project will be a machine gun.

2. The Engineering Department will then develop a new cargo ship that's faster, sturdier, and more fuel-efficient than all other cargo ships!

3. The Army - with the help of the Navy and the Department of Information - shall go to South Africa and begin extolling the virtues and gloriousness of Arstotzka, thus bringing the natives into the fold. Any who oppose shall be shot for treason against Arstotzka. Once integration/suppression is complete, resource extraction shall begin.

Glory to Arstotzka.

EDIT: Can we do diplomacy with other players/countries without needing to go through an action?

Yep.

Question #2 on that sorta thing, does it have to be in the tread, or can it be via PM? And if via PM, do you have to get a copy?

[tntey]

Question #2 on that sorta thing, does it have to be in the tread, or can it be via PM? And if via PM, do you have to get a copy?

Either is fine. Speaking of Pm's, next turn after this, you get 1 free pm actions. (Costs a lot of ig resources)

[a1s]

PTW.
(let's see if this one turns out better than the last one)

[micelus]

1. La Armada de Espaņa Unido: for the first time since the days of the Visigoths , the Iberian peninsula stands united. Now, it is time for the world to once again know the glory of Spain. The government orders the construction of several naval goods factories as well as the commission of a modern navy.
2. Unos Rifles por Todos Ciudadanos: Guns are central to the Arqubuzlpano identity and as such it is now law that every citizen (man or woman) has a gun and knows how to use it. Every citizen is ordered to own a rifle and train with it every weekend.
3. The Caribbean Protectorate : The Caribbean has for years been left to stagnate under the rule of tribal chiefs. As dutiful descendents of the greatest conquerors of the Americas, it is up to the Arqubuzlpanian people to rectify this mistake and bring them into the light of modernity. Arqubuzlpan claims the Caribbean as under the patronage of the Arzubuzlpan state and foreign nations are not to interfere. Private citizens are encouraged to travel to the Caribbean and improve the quality of life there, be it through teaching, the establishment of businesses or introducing modern techniques.

Diplomacy: messages are sent to the Elaed Glew government offering a non-aggression pact.

[tntey]

Update is going to be slightly delayed, seeing as I have Model U.N. Tommorow

[Aseaheru]

Just enough time to shoehorn in some non-action related stuff! Namely, diplomatic shenanigans.

The council, during a second meeting, sends non-agression pacts to: The Commonwealth of New France, The United States of America, Elaed Glew, and The Great Empire.

 They also send ambassadors to these locales, aswell as to Arstotzka, Arqubuzlpan and The United Provinces of Russia.


Also, anyone know how to do that thing with BB code that puts a dotted underline under some text that when you have a mouse over it shows additional text? I used to, but cant remember now.

[SaberToothTiger]

Diplomacy: messages are sent to the Elaed Glew government offering a non-aggression pact.

Diplomacy from Elaed Glew: Non-aggresion pact accepted. The Kingdom also offer a deal, in which the two nations will support each other in colonial efforts against the natives and against other empires. Not necessarily military invtervention per-se, but establishing clear spheres of influence for both nations.

1901
Year of imperialism

Spoiler: Elaed Glew (click to show/hide)

Your south American colony faces some struggles against the world Flora and Fauna. The tribes in the area are growing weary of them. Expect !!FUN!! soon.

You african colony is a very fertile place that is near water. The land is fertile, and will end up being easy to farm.

Your colony act makes people happy. The people who hear about it. Very little people utilize it because they can't read the act and can't read the newspapers that detail the act.

Spoiler: Plokhoy Ostrov (click to show/hide)

You create the very popular Department of Armaments! Because of the amount of crazy scientists, it is filled with scientists ready to work! It is funded well, and during research, your scientists have invented a cloth that is tough when layered on top of eachother. It burns slowly, but burns well. The material is expensive to make, but can be useful. 12 layers ontop of eachother (6in) it can almost withstand a standard rifle.

You create the
-The National Guards
-The Expeditionary Forces
-And the Exploratory Forces

They are poorly founded, and aren't filled with many troops. However, the exploratory forces are eager to create colonies.

Communes are created. Raw resources and Finished Resources are gathered and manufactured faster then ever before! However, these communes are very big, and aren't very specialized. Creating only getting and creating the easiest of goods. (Lumber, Food, Copper, Tin, Coal)

The United Provinces of Russia except the ambassador. Many provinces have asked your country to side with them when the country inevitably breaks up. The Commonwealth of France accepts your ambassador. And hopes you can have a great relationship. They also ask you if you want to collaborate with their scientists on secret, scientific projects. The Great Empire accepts your ambassador, and ask you if you want to exchange technologies. (They are offering research on turing fertilizer into bombs) 

Spoiler: Equestria (click to show/hide)

Strike the earth! Large, Large families take up large (200 acres) plots of land. They are growing lots and lots of resources. The mining isn't so great, as it is causing the untrained miners to die.

Missionaries are sent, with dire results. Of the 30 sent, 18 come back. You assume the one's killed were killed by Lynch mobs who don't improve of different religions. The one's that come back said no one was fond of their goddess.

Because of the love of the country, people willingly join the Imperial guard Regiment. They are poorly equipped, and are poorly trained by overworked drill sergeants.

Spoiler: Arstotzka (click to show/hide)

People cheer as the Forenia are stomped out. An Engineering Department is sent up, where testing for a new, easier to handle machine gun is being built. During testing, a backpack design is created. Inside of the backpack is ice. Tubes come out of the backpack and run alongside the machine gun, cooling it down with melted ice water.

While the cargo ship is being created, a more efficient steam boat engine is created, it isn't faster, but it used coal more efficiently. Ten new boats five new boats are made with this design.

You land in what you call madagascar. You take native slaves, and slaughter the rest of the people who don't join you. Many, many people die. (Including your own people) But who cares! They have gold and iron!

Spoiler: Arqubuzlpan (click to show/hide)

Your glorious navy is created! Many people sign up so they can help glorious Arqubuzlpan!

Their is much outrage over the gun law. Many people already own guns and know how to use them, and don't see why they need to pay money to train every weekend. Other's either don't want to buy a rifle or plain just can't afford it. Your prisons fill up with these people.

You claim the caribbean as yours, making The United States of America laugh, hard. Infact, they begin to subject their culture over the caribbean's, and take over parts of the Caribbean. They claim manifest destiny.

Spoiler: NPC's (click to show/hide)

Lots of colony creation.
