[hider=Great Power Privilege]
1. [b][color=green]Osladian Empire[/color][/b] - None
2. [b][color=skyblue]Kalpian Republic[/color][/b] - - Increased [b]Stability[/b] by 1. ([i]August, 1899[/i])
3. [b][color=beige]Empire of Tara[/color][/b] - None
4. [b][color=purple]Tyro-Redanian Empire[/color][/b] - Increased [b]Die Roll[/b] of [b]Action[/b] by 1 ([i]October, 1899[/i])
5. [b][color=lavender]Empire of Violette[/color][/b] - Increased [b]Stability[/b] by 1. ([i]October, 1899[/i])[/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.]
- 5. All [b]Actions/Events[/b] are open to interpretation by the GM.[/hider]
[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 receive 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.)

II. [b]Great Power Status[/b]
[list][*]There are [b]5 Great Powers[/b] in [b]The World as We Know It[/b].  [Every 10,000 Active Duty soldiers = 1 Point] + [Number Pre-Dreadnoughts multiplied by 25] + [-1 Point for every $1,000,000 of Debt.] + [1 Point for every 1,000,000 Population] + [Number of Colonies multiplied by 20] + [1 Point for every Infrastructure].

[b][u]Great Powers[/u][/b]
1. [b][color=beige]Empire of Tara[/color][/b] = [Army = 52 Points] + [11 Pre-Dreadnoughts = 275 Points] + [Zero Debt] + [30,890,000 Population = 30 Points] + [5 Colonies = 100 Points] + [85 Infrastructure] = [b]542 Prestige[/b].
2. [b][color=green]Osladian Empire[/color][/b] = [Army = 58 Points] + [2 Pre-Dreadnoughts = 50 Points] + [Zero Debt] + [71,000,000 Population = 71 Points] + [0 Colonies] + [69 Infrastructure] = [b]248 Prestige[/b].
3. [b][color=purple]Tyro-Redanian Empire[/color][/b] = [Army = 38 Points] + [0 Pre-Dreadnoughts = 0 Points] + [Zero Debt] + [91,000,000 Population = 91 Points] + [0 Colonies] + [42 Infrastructure] = [b]360 Points[/b]* (*+189 for [b]Wolfram Prestige[/b]. -1/Month). 
4. [b][color=skyblue]Kalpian Republic[/color][/b] = [Army = 75 Points] + [0 Pre-Dreadnoughts = 0 Points] + [-17 for -$17,400,000] + [64,600,000 Population = 64 Points] + [0 Colonies] + [52 Infrastructure] = [b]174 Points[/b]
[hr]
6. [b][color=lightgreen]Imperium of Hiron[/color][/b] = [Army = 13 Points] + [4 Pre-Dreadnoughts = 100 Points] + [Zero Debt] + [54,600,000 Population = 54 Points] + [0 Colonies] + [77 Infrastructure] = [b]144 Points[/b]* (*[b]Non-Continental[/b] -100)

- May call a [b]Conference[/b] for other nations to attend.
- Increase Stability by 1.
- Increase any die roll by 1 [Before it's rolled]. (Can be used to achieve an [b]Innovation[/b] or [b]Major Success[/b]).
- Increase/Decrease Relations by 1 with a non-Great Power nation.
- [b]Mobilize[/b] or [b]Demobilize[/b] without the use [b]1 Clout[/b].[/list]

III. [b]Designing Weapons of War[/b]

V. [b]Mobilization[/b]
[list][*]There are three stages: [b]Demobilized[/b], [b]Partial Mobilization[/b] and [b]Full Mobilization[/b].
[*][b]1 Political Clout[/b] in [b]Army[/b] must be used to move from [[b]Demobilized[/b]] to either of the two forms of Mobilization as well going from [b]Mobilized[/b] to [b]Demobilized[/b].
[*][b]Demobilized[/b] is a state where your Active Duty and Reservists are at their local garrisons distributed throughout the nation. In this state, you may only control your Active Duty soldiers. You may not give orders to Reservists.
[*][b]Partial Mobilization[/b] calls up your Active Duty soldiers into a coherent force. They receive a bonus to military operations and you may give orders to Reservists.
[*][b]Full Mobilization[/b] calls up your Reservists, turning them into Active Duty soldiers.[/list]
VI. [b]Civilian Industry[/b]

[*]An Industry can only build the units of the category it's in.
[*]Civilian industries are either [b]Private[/b] or [b]Nationalized[/b].
[*][b]Private Industries[/b] generate work based on requirement.
- Every Turn, your Private Industries perform according to the number of the [b]Global Economy Roll[/b].
[*][b]National Industries[/b] generate work when ordered to.
[*][b]Civilian Categories[/b]: [Shipping] [Heavy Industry] [Rail][/list]

[*]An Industry can only build the units of the category it's in.
[*]Armaments industries are either [b]Private[/b] or [b]Nationalized[/b].
[*][b]Private[/b] Companies fulfill Production Orders using [b]Economic Clout[/b]. 
- [color=0054a6][b]Creating a Private Company[/b][/color]: Every turn, roll 1d100 then subtract [b]Global Economy Roll[/b] and 1 for every [b][color=red]-$500,000[/color][/b] debt you have. Once you accumulate 400 points, you may spend [b]1 Clout[/b] to generate a [b]Private Company[/b] based on demand or spend [b]2 Clout[/b] to pick the starting category and Skill 2.
- They receive a +5% Production Bonus based on their Skill. 
- They receive a +/-10% Production Penalty based on the [b]Global Economy Roll[/b].
- When they fulfill an order, there is a 1d20 chance of their skill increasing on a roll of 12+ with [b]Skill[/b] and [b]Global Economy Modifiers[/b]. On a roll of 18-20, a [b]Private[/b] company will add an additional Category to its repertoire.
[*][b]Nationalized[/b] Companies fulfill Production Orders using [b]Economic Clout[/b].
- [b][color=red]Creating a National Company[/color][/b]: Spend $7,500,000. Begins Skill 1. May pick the category.
- They receive 0% Production Bonus based on their Skill.
- They receive +/-5% Production Bonus based on the [b]Global Economy Roll[/b].
- When they fulfill an order, there is a 1d20 chance of their skill increasing on a roll of 16+ with [b]Skill[/b] and [b]Global Economy Modifiers[/b].
- To add an additional category to it's repertoire is [$X0,000,000 with X being the current Skill of the company.]
- To add a Skill level to the company is [X,000,000+$10,000,000 with X being the current Skill of the company.]

[b][u]April 22nd[/u][/b]
[list][*]Funds are set aside in the [b][color=yellow]Republic of Itherae[/color][/b] for a single rail line to be furnished between the cities of Diopolis and the capital. Heavy handed politicians, swooning to garner more funds for the war in Karum eventually strip the legislation of most of it's working power. The railroad is not expected to begin until the fall and completed sometime in the spring of 1901.[/list]
[b][u]April 23rd[/u][/b]
[list][*]In the [b]Karum War[/b], the city of Fetrograd falls. The Itharaen's there were battered but fled after only two weeks of fighting, retreating to well established Seronan lines. On the same day as the fall of Fetrograd, the diplomat Zhilin Pavlovich from the [b][color=maroon]Tsardom of Radena[/color][/b] arrives in Salaz. There, Pavlovich--who spoke fluent Karumi--met with not only Tsar Michel I, but also General of the Karumi Army Pasceuni and Foreign Minister Talnov. "Where the Slads of Oslad will reject you, the Slads of Radena will embrace you," Pavlovich allegedly said. By the end of the day, Pavlovich had effectively negotiated the [b]Karumi-Radenan Pact[/b], signing a non-aggression pact to last until April, 1905.[/list]

[list][*]The [b]Zello-Osladian War[/b] had been a learning experience for the Zellonians and Osladians but especially the Kalpians. While their military prowess was initially lackluster, it was the domestic home front that saw more pronounced challenges. The [b]War at Sea[/b] was one that the Kalpians could not quite manage and found themselves hard at hand to keep their small force overseas well supplied. Minister of Economics Detlev Jost Rapp saw this as his opportunity to push his "A Rail in Every Town" initiative. His legislation was expected to have the support of the National Mirnist Party as well as the Kalpian Democratic Party. They offered the contract to the Kalpian National Rail Company to build a network of rails that would connect Karp, Liubeth, Herja and Tarist.[/list]

[list][*]The [b]Tendo Sea Expedition[/b] begins from the [b][color=beige]Tarantese Empire[/color][/b]. The Imperial Geographical Institute set sail to explore the various--mostly uncharted--isles of the Tendo Sea. The [i]HMS basileis[/i] as well as destroyers [i]HMS Falcom, HMS Hawk, HMS Talisman[/i] and [i]HMS Marksman[/i] all set sail for the far fledged Tendo Sea.

Key members of the expedition team, aside from Captain Lascelles, include Lord Julian Fenton, a renowned polyglot from the University of Vallefay leading the languages staff, Professor Jacques Saint-Emilion, a naturalist from the same interested in any exotic flora and fauna, and Yves Millenau-Taunton, a noted geologist and cartographer on secondement from the Surveyor-General’s office, interested in the inorganic resources of the areas under exploration and the geological nature of the world in general. Aside from the sailors and their own staff, they are accompanied by a 200-man company of Royal Marines, under the command of Major Seb Tourville.

They are expected to arrive in the fall and be finished next year.[/list]

[list][*]The [b]Marnish Offensive[/b] becomes political. King Sven IV of the Marnish Kingdom arrives in Confluence, Violette to hold a conference. There, he implores the great powers of the world--the Veletians, the Tarantese and the Tyro-Redanians to live up to their namesake and move to negotiate a peace and an end to the Zello-Osladian War as it has spilled now across the Marnish borders. "Not only do Zellonian soldiers trample our countryside, but Kalpians now stalk our mountaintops. It is only a matter of time before the Slads too trample upon Marnish lands. Additionally, King Sven IV requests permission from Empress Tsirina if the Marnish Royal Family may be relocated to Confluence until the fighting in Marnland has dissipated.
[*]The second Kalpian convoy makes a delayed run at night, creeping across the channel. With several of it's merchant ships damaged, the Kalpian Navy decides to sends three merchant ships with a pair of destroyers as escorts during the night. They run the gauntlet and make the trip to Xerotith, unloading 9,000 supplies. [/list]

[list][*]The [b]Marnish Offensive[/b] is an indecisive affair. While Kalpians claim a 3.5:1 kill ratio with the Zellonians, they are unable to breakthrough due to the mountainous terrain. Even without the newfound machine guns, the Zellonians fought tenaciously for a war they believed they could still win. April 30th marks the end of the [b]Marnish Offensive[/b]. The [b][color=pink]Zellonian 6th Army[/color][/b], which began the offensive two months prior with 90,000 men has now been reduced to 35,000 men and ceased to exist as an effective fighting force. The soldiers dig in, forming a huge crescent shape from the Osladians in the South, the Kalpians in the West and the expected arrival of Marns in the North. In the South, the front remains mostly quiet, with Osladian and Zellonian soldiers enjoying a quiet respite.

Efforts begin in Vorl by the Zellonian soldiers present to turn Vorl into a self-contained fortress. Barbed wire, embankments, entrenchments and the like are constructed.
