[center][[b]Turn 3[/b] -- July, 1899 to September, 1899.][/center]
[center][hider=Great Power Privilege (1899)]
1. [b][color=green]Osladian Empire[/color][/b] - None
2. [b][color=skyblue]Kalpian Republic[/color][/b] - None
3. [b][color=beige]Empire of Tara[/color][/b] - None
4. [b][color=purple]Tyro-Antarian Empire[/color][/b][/hider]

[hider=Rules to Know]
- 1. For your [b]Political Clout[/b] actions to take effect, you must post IC.
- 2. Whomever posts first has precedence. [Example: Nation A declares war on Nation B. Nation C signs Defensive Alliance with Nation B. If Nation A posts first, this means Nation C cannot effectively sign said alliance and be 'called to arms.'
- 3. Once your orders are sent, they cannot be altered or canceled.
- 4. [b]Declaring War[/b] without an [b]Event[/b] or [b]Cassus belli[/b] incurs -2 Stability.][/hider][/center]
[hider=Game Mechanics]
I. [b]Clout[/b]
1. A [b]Turn[/b] represents 3 months (Jan-March, April-June, July-September, October-December)
2. Every [b]Turn[/b] a nation has [b]4 Clout[/b].
3. Clout can be used on the following:
- [b][color=green]Colonization / Imperialization[/color][/b]: Advance your culture in the world.
- [b][color=yellow]Economics[/color][/b]: Strengthen your own industry.
- [b][color=blue]Politics[/color][/b]: Pass laws, appoint ministers, generals, admirals and stabilize the government.
- [b][color=red]Army [or] Navy[/color][/b]: Bolster a section of your armed forces.
- [b][color=gray]Foreign Affairs[/color][/b]: The pen is mightier than the sword.
- [b]Home Front[/b]: Listen to the people, or shut them up.
4. So at the start of a turn, you select where you'd like to spend your political clout.
- If you spend 1 Clout on a single action, you roll 1d6.
- If you spend 2  Clout on a single action, you roll 1d6 and receive a +1 on that roll.
- If you spend 3  Clout on a single action, you roll 1d6, receive +2 you lose 1 Stability.
5. If you get a [b]7[/b] you may choose either a [b]Major Success[/b] or an [b]Innovation[/b].

Results occur on a 1d6. 1 is an abysmal failure and 6 is a resounding success.

6. When you use Clout, give an example of what you're hoping to accomplish. (IE: Foreign Affairs: hope to achieve an alliance with Nation X, or Colonization: Set up a minor colony in Settumu.)

[h2][u][b]September[/b][/u][/h2]
[b][u]September 1st[/u][/b]
The [b][color=yellow]Republic of Itherae[/color][/b] begins a campaign of propaganda against the [b]Tsardom of Karum[/b], citing their expansionist nature and militarization as a threat to "Continental peace." Surrounded on all sides by Great Powers, Karum's saber rattling has since had little effect on anyone but the otherwise placid Seronan politicians to the Southeast. With the Zello-Osladian War raging in the Zellian and Smaragd Sea's, few see the rhetoric of Itheraen President Alexei Georgas. The people however, are united and rally behind him, ushering in huge rallies in Napeze, Diopolis and the Capital.
[[b]Event[/b]: The [b][color=yellow]Republic of Itherae[/color][/b] gains [b]+1 Stability[/b].]

[b][u]September 2nd[/u][/b]
The coronation of Empress Tsirina went on, some say, despite 'The War' that raged less than 500 kilometers to the east. Taking place not in the Palace but at the Golden Pavilion where some of the greatest painters and architects of the Revival lay. While the Osladian Tsar and the Zellonian King were extended invites, both of whom refused, the most important guest, Tsar Pyotr II of Radena, was in attendance. An over the top affair that lasted well into the tonight, the coronation was an exercise in Veletian politics: flash and spectacle. The entire trip home, Pyotr II--speaking Veletian, no less--spoke excitedly of the event, reciting in particular detail every one of his favorite moments.
[[b]Event[/b]: The [b][color=lavender]Veletian Empire[/color][/b] gains [b]+1 Relation[/b] with the [b][color=blue]Tsardom of Radena[/color][/b]]

[b][u]September 3rd[/u][/b]
The [b][color=skyblue]Kalpian Republic[/color][/b] sets up the Department of Military Police. Funded to establish the control of potential dissidents, the DMP employs nearly 5,500 agents across the entire nation with their sights set on controlling the borders to ensure that potential wrongdoers are not granted entrance into the nation.

[b][u]September 4th[/u][/b]
The [b]Tsardom of Karum[/b] submits the [i]Salaz Ultimatum[/i]. A political manifesto requesting that the [b]Principality of Serona[/b] immediately cede it's territories harboring at least 10% Karumi citizens or face immediate war. The Seronan government, hoping to avoid both war and potentially losing a third of its territories, have asked the government of [b][color=skyblue]Kalpia[/color][/b] to arbitrate these demands.

[b][u]September 5th[/u][/b]
The [b][color=green]Osladian Empire[/color][/b] immediately sends a delegation to refute the Kalpian's insistence of Karumi aggression in the area. Given that they were tenuous allies in the [b]Zello-Osladian War[/b], the Kalpians managed to stall Oslad during negotiations in Salaz long enough for the [b]Tsardom of Karum[/b] to send an official declaration of war to the [b]Principality of Serona[/b].

The [b]Karumi War of Aggression[/b] had just started, and both Osladian and Kalpian diplomats left Salaz feeling as if they had accomplished too little.
[[b]Event[/b]: [b][color=skyblue]Kalpian Republic[/color][/b] and [b][color=green]Osladian Empire[/color][/b] suffer [b]-1 Relations[/b]]

[b][u]September 6th[/u][/b]
In Lieubeth, Kalpia, President Reimund Braun addresses a 1,000 men assembly of the Kalpian Republican Navy, hours before they set sail in their war against the [b][color=pink]Kingdom of Zellonia[/color][/b]. He speaks of resistance against oppression, and strength in the face of adversity. "I salute you, brave soldiers of the Republican Navy, for the swift victory you are about to bring."
[[b]Event[/b]: [b][color=skyblue]Kalpian Republican Navy[/color][/b] gains +15% Morale]

[b][u]September 7th[/u][/b]
The [i]KRN Grunewalde[/i], a Kalpian submarine, leaves Karp harbor. Approximately 11 hours later it surfaces 44 nautical miles off the coast of Zeel in the Smaragd Sea and torpedoes the [i]ZRN Danielson[/i], a 12,000-ton merchant freighter carrying spices to Veletia. The survivors are left in the water.

Two hours later the same submarine surfaces, at about dusk, and attacks the [i]ZRN Halloway[/i], a 9,000-ton merchant ship carrying foodstuffs back from Tyro-Redania. She sinks in 44 minutes, with the [i]Grunewalde[/i]'s wake disappearing in the distance.

[[b]Event[/b]: [b][color=pink]Kingdom of Zellonia[/color][/b]'s [b]Army[/b] suffers -1% Morale]

[b][u]September 8th[/u][/b]
While war raged in the Zellian Sea, the [b][color=skyblue]Kalpian Republic[/color][/b] ordered it's first sortie in the neighboring Smaragd Sea on the 8th of September. The [b]1st Kalpian Fleet[/b] under Admiral Walenty Norbert Sobol departed Lieubeth before sunrise with 4 armored cruisers, 5 light cruisers and 10 destroyers. They sallied across the Smaragd Sea and arrived first at the coastal city of Kenlth. For four and a half hours the city endured a nefarious waiting game while the ships sat half a mile off shore.

And did nothing.

They moved later to the coastal metropolis of Jovington, where the firepower of the Kalpian fleet trained their guns on the shipyard there, destroying a destroyer keel that had just been laid. It took over 700 shells from Kalpian guns. With the sun near it's apex, the ships loitered for a while longer--the Kalpian sailors close enough to see the beleaguered citizens of Zellonia, who could do nothing. Then the Kalpian fleet sailed back home to Liubeth.

[b][u]September 9th[/u][/b]
The Veletian Gendarmerie Colonel Edouart Larousse and 160 officers arrive in Xuefeng, Meung after nearly four and a half weeks at sea aboard the ship [i]Lefeuvre[/i]. They are on a diplomatic mission to help the dilapidated and otherwise underfunded and under trained officer corps of the Meung Dominion. The training, expected to take nearly eighteen months is an attempt to increase relations between the Dominion and Violette. The [b][color=lavender]Veletian Empire[/color][/b] hopes to benefit from increased trade relations with Meung in the near future.

The [b][color=blue]Tyro-Redanian Empire[/color][/b] and the [b][color=yellow]Republic of Itherae[/color][/b] sign a Trade Pact agreeing for the former to sell 2,000 tons of chromium a year in exchange for a similar amount of oil.

[b][u]September 11[/u][/b]
The [b][color=darkblue]Tsardom of Radena[/color][/b] sends Maslov Yamelyarovich to the [b][color=lightgreen]Imperium of Hiron[/color][/b] and quickly sorts out a deal for over 10,000 tons of grain and fish in exchange for $10,000,000. For $10,000,000 the Tsardom will supply 10,000 tons for a duration of 5 years, totally over 50,000 tons in duration.

[b][u]September 12th[/u][/b]
The [b]Second Battle of the Zeelian Sea[/b] occurs. With orders to hunt one another down, it was a mere inevitability that the fleets of Zellonia and Oslad were to clash. The 12th of September was sunny, without much a cloud in the sky. Visibility was disgustingly high and it took little time for the two fleets to locate one another. The Zellonians, who had orders to: "[i]launch an attack against the city of across from the Zellic peninsula. Their target once more is any industrial base and shipyards. If/When engaged the fleet shall if possible aim for the larger ships such as pre-dreadnoughts and armored cruisers and submarines. If not engaged continue firing on the city before returning for resupplying,"[/i] first had to maneuver past the less stellar fleet of the Osladian Empire.

While the [i]Persevet[/i] repaired, the [i]Imperator Nikolas II[/i] was helmed by Grushanin, perhaps the singular most important mistake of the war. As a man whom had suffered a rather egregious defeat, he was now shaken--fearful of losing a command he knew didn't belong to him. The Zellonians on the other hand sailed with a full complement. Their coastal defense ships were not suited away from the terrestrially brown waters and only minutes before combat engagements both coastal defense ships [i]ZRN Vile Waves[/i] and [i]ZRN Widow Maker[/i] had their boilers overworked while crossing the Zellian Sea and were effectively immobile, too far out of range to make a difference in the coming engagement.

(Copied from PM orders from [i]LordZell[/i])

The third fleet under Rear Admiral Jefferson Boch consisting of 1 Pre-Dreadnought, 4 Armored Cruisers, 6 Light Cruisers, 5 Destroyers and 9 Costal Defense Ships[/hider]

The Zellonian Fleet, upon spotting the Osladian squadrons in bound, ordered a full turn about in accordance with it's orders: "[i] If engaged the fleet is to retreat back across to the strait where they'll gain covering fight from the artillery. Should thing turn dire the fleet should flee if they can to the closest city of Vorl if not to open waters on course to the Taranese empire.[/i]"

While the Zellonian soldiers were eager to fight--as they outnumbered their Osladian counterparts in quality and firepower--Rear Admiral Jefferson Boch gave the order to turn about north. The [b]Second Battle of the Zeelian Sea[/b] was less the decisive engagement that the Royal Zellonian Navy could have made it and more a pursuing action by the Osladian fleet. For six hours the Osladians pursued a zig-zagging Zellonian fleet: damaging the Zellonian coastal defense ship [i]ZRN Beowolf[/i], striking and putting dead in the water the coastal defense ship [i]ZRN Iron Hand[/i] and sinking outright in a single salvo from the Osladian [i]Imperator Nikolas II[/i] the Zellonian light cruiser [i]ZRN Victory[/i].

The Osladians, with a Zellonian coast in sight, turned away and let the Zellonian 3rd Fleet sulk into harbor.

The [b]Wauwanti War[/b] continues, with a heavy hand of autonomy for Lieutenant Colonel Harvick, who has returned to Argentine in the west, leaving only light garrisons in the East while his soldiers refit and rearm. In his journals, he describes the seven day march back to Argentine as the [i]Walk through the Eleven Hells and More[/i], as they encounter Wauwanti raiders, lack of rations and even mutiny. Over 740 soldiers perish in the walk, and Harvick's battered force of 2,100 (that set out in August with nearly 5,000 men) finally reach Argentine.

A campaign by the [b][color=purple]Tyro-Redanian Empire[/color][/b] begins with the Itheraens in mind. It begs for the collectivism of Empire over Culture, citing that the Itheraens are not a minority but the bread and butter of an intricate web that makes up the Dual Monarchy.

Only four weeks after her coronation, the Empress Tsirine of the [b][color=lavender]Veletian Empire[/color][/b] arrives in Sindao, Veletian Settumu on a humanitarian mission. There, she meets with Governor Droulez, a grizzled war veteran who acts as both Military Administrator of the Veletian National Garrison as well as it's acting political administrator. While there, a native Settumu reporter makes contact with the Empress' guard, who reveals information of a potential scandal. It's revealed in that same week that Governor Droulez has been reallocating funds from the National Garrison into a vicious sex trafficking operation; taking girls from Meung, Hiron and Kikitomi for use as service girls for the soldiery of the National Garrison.

The scandal's publicity is brought to a close with Empress Tsirine leaving without her expected tour of the islands, but it's expected that in the coming weeks the fate of Governor Droulez, currently on house arrest in Sindao, will be delivered. His competence as both an administrator and leader of military men cannot be understated, but many--especially the native Kikitomi--now see him as more villain than hero.
