[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.

[i]Tyrian state owned rail company Osterreichische Bundesbahnen, founded 1905[/i][/center]
The locomotive firm [u]Osterreichische Bundesbahnen[/u] (Tyrian for [i]State Railroad[/i]) enters it's third consecutive month of operation in the [b][color=purple]Tyrian Empire[/color][/b]. Collectively, the two lines of rail have transported over 11,000 passengers--though with ticket prices at over $100, riding on these locomotive behemoths was reserved for the luxury classes and landed nobility of Tyria. Additionally, they utilized the [u]Wilmus 4-4-2[/u] locomotive, a 1901 Tyrian design that proved to be both reliable and affordable. The [i]Mersburg-Landorf Line[/i] was now starting to gain traction, attracting customers from the thriving capital, through the industrial hub of Landorf and into the sleepy town of Mersburg, which was quickly growing, having a population of 37,000 in 1903 already to a population of 56,000 in March, 1905.

[list][*]14,100 Model M93 Rifles and 90 Syndére LN03 Machine Guns to be processed through [u]Vernay Arms Manufacturing[/u]

[indent]In the [b][color=gray]Holy Empire of Vigentino[/color][/b], the Vigentian High Command begins [i]training[/i] it's officers. There is very little cohesion here. Men who have been experts in logistics are required to re-learn the same lessons to as those who have no idea how to get a bean, bullet or bandage from one place to another. Men who spent their entire lives dedicated to the study of artillery stand around watching a man explain which end of an artillery piece is the dangerous end. "A sincere waste of my time," one junior officer quipped. "Are we going to war with Helrox?" Another asked, on being tasked with the "[i]studying of military tactics, those that have proven effective both with rifles and artillery, as well as in the face of numerically, and technologically, superior enemies.[/i]"

Four of eighteen senior command officials are on leave during these exercises and for reasons unknown are not called back to Vigentino, missing the entirety of the exercises. The training, without a slated end date, continues, many times lessons being relentlessly repeated by the instructors by the end of March.[/indent]

[indent]In the [b][color=olive]Republic of Paraka[/color][/b], Ambassador to Serianeaux Aytan Canamay proposes the signing of a [u]Free Trade Agreement[/u] between the two nation. Initially, the Serianeaux are prepared to sign the document until Ambassador to Paraka Anton Silveau mentions, rather offhandedly to Ambassador Canamay: "Surely you do not believe we will sign an agreement with this.. effort?" On second inspection, Canamay left the meeting with a document that clearly misspelled the Commonwealth's name right on the front of the document.[/indent]
[b]March 14th[/b]
[indent]Foreign Minister of the [b][color=gray]Holy Empire of Vigentino[/color][/b] Bacco Schiavoni contacts the Vigentian noble Flavio Roti to act on Strozza Riccobono's behalf in the [u]Mashir Sultanate[/u]. Returning to the Sultanate alongside Riccobono, they remained there until returning to the Holy Empire with the following request: A [u]Non-Aggression Pact[/u] can be signed for a period of three years, but only if the Empire would supply the Sultanate with $1,000,000 a month for the corresponding three years. Failing that, the obstinate Sultan would sign no agreement.[/indent]

[indent]In the [b][color=brown]Kingdom of Cadia[/color][/b], funding for flight is increased by nearly $12,000,000 on the year--with the Cadians hopeful that a research breakthrough will allot them the same cutting edge study of both the theoretical and practical knowledge that the Escyans and others around the world are similarly discovering.[/indent]
