best75 is correct. I was confusing the second Balkan war (1913) with 1900, which is our start date. Bulgaria was the strongest until the second Balkan war, where it went to war with the other countries and got Rekt. Serbia became the strongest after that. In 1913 Serbia has 70% as many men I believe. Don't be so rude Napoleon Bonaparte , I already admitted that even a combined Romania-Greece, more men than Serbia, would have less skill than Serbia. The same probably goes for Bulgaria, who had even more men. More reason to combine Romania and Greece haha, R-G would be only the 3 strongest Balkan (2nd at best) eh, rude? Clearly I was talking about history and I had no intention of being rude. I will try to represent my statements more efficiently from now on. So the "misinterpretation" element won't stick to them. "Not you Greece! Not you!" 1. The words are stringed together in a non-positive way. 2. I never even claimed I was the strongest, quite the opposite. @coolguy14, Can I control Romania, since we are starting soon? That acquisition only gives me an even chance against my Balkan rivals, actually a little less. |

1. So? 1.2 Actually no, I said its a balkan country, WHICH IT IS. No Megali necessary. 2. I thought it had something to do with smaller country size, but what do I know. One thing I DO know, is it was the Ottoman's decision to invade every single Balkan country. Its not like we started this squabble. 3.5 REMOVE OTTOMEN. NEVER GORGET! 1) so what? 1.2) Ottoman Empire welcomes a Greece that is not "irredentist". 2) we aren't talking about things that happened 500-600 years ago. NOT MY DECISION. 3.5) remove yunnanistan Crete shall be Ottoman! 1. I responded with so to denote that even if I was arguing from a Megali basis, I see no stigma there. You appear to respond with so, simply to fire back. 1.2) Irredentist for what we owned for 3,000 years, but yeah sure thats true. 2) True, you can change things, its your ottoman. However, I don't think the Ottomans would just convert to Buddhism if you declared it was your wish. Edit: *spreads propaganda so the balkans never forget* 3.5) Oh great, even more territorial claims. Crete is Greek and you know it! REMOVE *Auto corrected* |

I think that the UK can have Belgium. Their relations were so close and that's the whole reason the UK joined. Does anyone disagree with that proposition?

Britain certainly doesn't  Now can everyone please be patient? It's not the end of the world if we start a little late. Besides, no one is stopping you from writing up your turns now and posting them later. |

I've chosen to go ahead and begin the RP. For those of you who were advocating for a later start, fill free to submit your turns later. I will not start a new year until every single person has submitted their turn, unless denoted otherwise in private.
1900 Phase (Year-Long):
Check the original post I wrote a fancy opening. I will submit further event details within the next 30 mins. Please don't submit a turn until those have been posted.

Events leading up to the year 1900:
-Bismarck unified all of Germany and defeated the French in the Franco-Prussian War: French and German relations are stressed.
-Bismarck also made Austria into a dual monarchy with Hungary: AH is struggling to control its own ethnicities as their are so many. German and AH relations should be very close.
-The Balkans have become a very prime target for a colonization after they left there former rulers control. Expanders look to this region for possible annexation.
-Imperialism has reached nearly every region of the globe except East Asia, and countries are eager to expand.
-Japan has just modernized and doesn't want to trade with America...
-America is trying to maintain a fairly strict neutrality policy, and now only supports most War efforts with supplies.
-Planes are in testing stages.
-Newly developed weapons like machine guns and mortars are being used in warfare
-Greco-Turkish War has recently happened so those relations aren't strong either...
I will add more as I discover more. Don't post quite yet. Give me 10 more mins.

^Also correct me if I'm wrong on any of those, because I could be a year off or have used a lousy source.

Also the Boxer Rebellion begins this year, which is the Chinese rebelling against foreign powers. China is an NPC, so turns were not shortened.
Begin turns at your own will.

^Also correct me if I'm wrong on any of those, because I could be a year off or have used a lousy source. Bismarck wasn't directly involved in the Dual Monarchy business, but he had indirect influence. America was actually pretty imperialistic and expansionist at this time. As for Japan, it was at this point working on Westernization and Modernization, and trading. |
