[center][h1]The World Undone[/h1] (1905--)[/center] [hider=Orders] - Posting IC will be immensely beneficial to you as a player. It is, however, not necessary. This is designed so that you can still send in your orders if you are too busy to post, but posting IC will provide a tangible bonus to your DRM (Die Roll Modifier). - Each [b]Turn[/b] represents one In-Game Month. The player will submit [b]3 Orders[/b]. - Each order is then subject to a 1d6 roll. A 6 means a perfect execution and a 1 means a horrible failure. Posting IC gives you a +2 die roll to a single order, or a +1 die roll to all three. [Specified at the end of your IC post.]. This means that more active players are rewarded. - [b]Orders[/b]: * [b][color=yellow]Economic[/color][/b]: An order designed to benefit the nation economically. * [b][color=red]Military[/color][/b]: An order designed to affect your military. * [b][color=green]Diplomacy[/color][/b]: An order designed to conduct diplomacy. * [b][color=blue]Imperialism[/color][/b]: Exploring and developing new lands. * [b][color=purple]Design Contract[/color][/b]: Fill out the following info below [hider=Design Contract] - SCOPE: [Domestic] or [International] - TYPE: [Rifle], [Field Gun], [Machine Gun] - DESIGN SPECIFICATIONS: [As much or as little detail as you see fit.][/hider]* [b][color=gold]Conference[/color][/b]: Used to call a [i]Political[/i] or [i]Military[/i] Conference.

Given their past, the Cydernian government is hesitant to sign any agreement with the same administration that dragged them to war several years earlier. Without any incentive to sign such an agreement, Roderick von Stoltenberg returns home without anything to show for himself. [b]February 22nd[/b] The [b][color=brown]Cadian Royal Army[/color][/b] orders massive war games to begin. Nearly 180,000 men are called from their barracks and ordered to local assembly. Grueling physical training, weapons and equipment training and the like. This is deplored in the [b]Cydernian Star Newspaper[/b] as [i]war mongering[/i], and on-lookers in neighboring Helrox, Itherae and even nearby Tyria are left wondering why a nation might call up many of it's men for "war games."

He is allowed a meeting but rebuffed at anything besides the complete acceptance of two demands. Without the ability to fully comply, Governor Barros departs, returning to the capital and then sending word back to Azmores, to the Empress of the Mullah's requests. His requests are simple: [hider=Demands of Mullah Kahmar Mustafa] 1. The [b][color=blue]Toubrés Empire[/color][/b] will leave Toubrian Serranthia (formerly identified as [i]al-Nuzzar[/i]) and abandon any claim on the territory. 2. The [b][color=blue]Toubrés Empire[/color][/b] will recognize the independence of the [i]Kingdom of al-Nuzzar[/i], with Mullah Kahmar Mustafa as it's lawful monarch.[/hider] [b]February 24th[/b] A day later, Governor Barrios receives word via messenger that the Mullah has requested an [b]International Conference[/b] be held with the Great Powers present to mediate the situation. If Toubrés refuses the "[i]torch of peace[/i]," as Kahmar put it, Kahmar will immediately consider it an act of violence and consider all Toubrian citizens as invaders. Kahmar requests the [b]Helrox Empire[/b], [b]Republic of Paraka[/b] and [b]Tyrian Empire[/b] to mediate the conference. [Invited Nations may decide to [b]Participate[/b] or [b]Abstain[/b] in the Conference. Does not require an action.] [b]February 25th[/b] The [b][color=purple]Empire of Tyrian[/color][/b] orders regulars and reservists drawn up for war games and military exercises. The Cydernians, stuck between two nations that who in a matter of three days have mobilized their entire armies, immediately orders the mobilization of the [b]Cydernian Free Army[/b]. Dignitaries are sent to Cadia and Tyrian requesting that all soldiers be demobilized immediately. Similarly, the dignitary Borus Korusav is sent to the Helrox Empire, who requests the [b]Independence[/b] of Cydernia be guaranteed in exchange for [b]Free Trade[/b] for a period of 24 months. [[b]Empire of Tyria[/b] gains +1 Tensions with [b]Helrox Empire[/b], [b]Republic of Escya, High Kingdom of Itherae[/b] and [b]Cydernian Republic[/b].] [b]February 26th[/b] Bonsi de Calvio returns from the [b][color=beige]Seljuk Empire[/color][/b] to the [b][color=gray]Holy Empire of Vigentino[/color][/b]. While diametrically opposed because of their vastly different religions, the Seljuk Empire--with vast stores of coastal agriculture and deep bauxite and chromium mines is open to negotiations of agriculture, aluminum or chromium in exchange for much needed coal or petrol. [b]February 27th[/b] The [b][color=maroon]Helrox Empire[/color][/b] puts out a domestic government contract for 250,000 of it's native Toshterin K1888 rifles. Local industry decides to pick up this contract, but the Helrox Empire's requirement that it be finished in eighteen months--an average of nearly 14,000 rifles a month is a tall task. Work begins immediately. [b]February 28th[/b] In the [b][color=yellow]Confederation of Hokkan-Shirito[/color][/b], engineers are tasked with improving the reliability of the [u]Type 91 Rifle[/u] under the auspices "[i]..that this improvement can be applied to our current stock of Type 91 Rifles. This improvement can be an additional part, a replacement part, or anything else, so long that the rifle remains practical enough for the common soldier to use, and does not worsen any other aspect of the rifle more than a barely noticeable degree if at all.[/i]" Mechanical engineer Hideki Sakai--Euranian educated and the chief engineer of [b]Qiao Armory[/b]--is baffled. Regardless, he begins work on the design and requests four weeks to create a working prototype.
