Alright, this is a lot to deal with. Sorry if I skip anyone.

[quote]Question; how does a nation gain access to our conscripts? Is that an actual order?[/quote]
You use an order. As I recall, your order was something along the lines of "increase military efficiency through recruitment and better equipment". You need a direct order to start building an army.

[quote]How much time elapses in a turn?[/quote]
One year. It may slow down if this war goes global, but at the moment it is only two combatants and a few other nations looking shifty. No cause for slowing down.

[quote]If Outcast or anyone else has any objections to this (since it was a typo), I understand and will change it back.[/quote]
I'll allow it.

[quote]@Outcast, was the "2" supposed to be removed from the front of my annual income? If so, what precisely is the reasoning?[/quote]
Your nation is under a partial blockade. Just be thankful it isn't a full one. The Union has the same problem.

Will deal with PMs soon.
