Tension in the Balkans? And no one invited Italy? I am disappointed...I had plans for all of you anyway. Well, just Serbia and Greece.

Could you PM me what plans you had for Serbia so i'm aware?

Hey, since you're my new neighbor, mind if you borrow me your OTO-Melara howizters and aerial bombs?

Italy will obviously support Serbia, ya left wing bastards.

[Wilted Rose]

I'll be happy to. I'm going to carefully tread so I don't get smashed by the vastly superior Prussians/Germans/whatever they call themselves.

Italy's vastly behind in technology compared to Spain and Germany, many sections of the Air force and Army(Minus the Alpini, they are roughly on par) are still below their WW2 counterparts.

So on the subject of Italian weapons... You most likely will want to get German ones instead, because anything that Italy has that is good will not get sold. They need it for themselves, after all.

Serbia rather not buy from the Germans as they have put a giant obstacle in there way of reforming Yugoslavia.

Also Prussia was the name of a North German Country in historical times, so refering to them as Germans is gurd. I also talked to Peppermint and he said Prussia doesnt intend to intervene on part of any other Balkan Countries.

[Wilted Rose]

Oh I know that Prussia was a place and everything, I'm just wondering if German or Prussian is the most widely used term for them.

...Or in the case of Slovenia/Croatia, they had already dreaded of Serbia's reinvasion for some time, so they want to keep the Balkan States separate.

Has anyone roleplayed as the glorious America yet?

[Wilted Rose]

From what I've heard/seen...

All of North America got fucked up somehow.

On the Croatia dude: I don't really know/remember what the history for them was, but they may or may not have been part of Austria for longer than they were IRL. Before we cleaned up the canon, they had actually just recently become independent after Prussia annexed Austria. But I can't seem to remember if we retconned that or not.

Er, yeah. Not since early MCF, though. They were Socialist for a while. Or something.

The lore doesn't seem very clear, though from what I know from the old RP, Croatia should be part of the Greater European Union, and may possibly be involved in the Swiss Debt War with Serbia... though Serbia was a monarchy, not a dictatorship. The Balkan States haven't been built up upon in the former POW RP that much.

I don't even remember this being a thing. Is this from the Sporum era PoW?

That was Prospo, wasn't it?

That one was from the wiki. While in MCF I wasn't part of the PoW RP, I read on it for a while.

[Pepperm1nts]

Most of the stuff in the wiki isn't canon. I honestly can't even recall anything by the name 'Greater European Union'. The only thing remotely close to that, that existed very briefly in the Balkans (and still isn't canon), was some Balkan Union some guy made up and then abandoned.

[Vilageidiotx]

It was Feo's original plan regarding Swiss-Germany. It came into fruition and disappeared virtually at the same time.

The Wiki isn't really reliable for much. We just never could update it as quick as the cannon changed.

Well then, the canon is indeed a bit mixed up.

So can you clarify what happened in the Balkans in PoW?

They have been largely untouched, aside from a rebellion in Greece that freed it from Ottoman control. Serbia participated in the Swiss Debt War, but their support was probably very limited. Aside from that, if we're keeping the canon as it was, which I can't remember, the only noteworthy thing to happen was Croatia/Slovenia getting their independence from Austria after Prussia annexed it and found it was too much trouble trying to also annex Croatia along with it. Because, while Austria joined up without a fight, the same could probably not have been said for the already super nationalistic Croats.

We nuked it and replaced it with the nation-descriptions in the OP.

[Dinh AaronMk]

And Socialism isn't very "new" either in the context of the RP. It'd be more than a hundred years old by now. Communism by a similar margin as well.

Also Serbia breaking from Yugoslavia is sort of backwards... The Serbs sort of ruled Yugoslavia. Its capital was even the Serbian capital.
