[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.

[indent]In order to maximize efficiency in trade, military mobilization and infrastructure, railroad tracks in the [b][color=crimson]Helroxi Empire[/color][/b] be placed from the capital of Fregleen to the city of Resoulvt in the East near the Marnish Kingdom the tracks will also connect up minor towns and villages along the way. Another line of Tracks will connect from the Capital of Fregleen to the city of Peytrin in the west along the Tiamese border, the tracks to will also connect up minor towns and villages. Finally a track from Fregleen to the city of Cruslov in the south Dead center between the nations of Vigentino, Melgaria, Cadia and Cydernia the track will connect up minor towns and villages along the way. The project budget for the project is $5,000,000,000. For safety and so production doesn't cease the budget will be $8,000,000,000.

Who was placing these railroad tracks was almost as cause as much confusion as to how much they were going to get paid to place them. The government of the Helrox, already severely in debt--had to print the entirety of the $8,000,000,000 for distribution. Price of a loaf of bread in Flegleen was $0.03. By the end of May it would be nearly $2.00 (or 2.5% of a Helroxi's yearly income).([/indent]

[indent]The government of the [b][color=blue]Empire of Toubrés[/color][/b] put out a request for a design of a bridge that could cross the waters between Toubres and Tara at it's narrowest point, allow for the reliable bearing of an active railway, without warping of breaking, and will not hinder the travel of shipping through the strait. The design request is open to any architects or engineers within Toubres and should include an estimated cost and build time. The deadline for submissions is placed in twelve months time. A conference is planned for the date of the submission deadlines, where all those who submit will be invited to present their designs to their peers, and allow for open discussion and input. From this conference, the top five designs will be selected, both by the judgement of their peers, and by the judgement of Armando Ros, the Minister of Transportation and a keen and accomplished engineer in his own right. The selected designs will then be submitted to the Empress, for her approval or dismissal.[/indent]

[indent]In the [b][color=yellow]Illesian Kingdom[/color][/b], the Marshall Triumvirate approves The [b]Illesian Marshall Training Standards of 1905[/b], with the following text;

[u][b]The Illesian Marshall Training Standards of 1905[/b][/u]
The Illesian Soldier must strive to be the most disciplined, most effective, and most well-trained Soldier of any modern military. In order to do so, the following standards must be met within four months of enlistment or within four months of the passing of these standards, depending on if the Soldier joined after the passing of these Standards or before:

1. Ability to lift at least 120 pounds of weight above the Soldier's head.
2. Ability to carry at least 80 pounds of total gear and equipment on the Soldier's body and march with it for at least six hours while covering at least twenty miles with few breaks for rest.
3. Ability to run three miles unencumbered within thirty minutes.
4. Ability to sprint 300 yards within 70 seconds.
5. Ability to perform ten pull-ups without resting.
6. Ability to perform fifty crunches without resting.
7. Ability to pass a marksmanship course that presents a Soldier with man-sized targets at 200, 300, and 400 yards. Every Soldier gets 50 rounds to use, and there are 20 targets at 200 yards, 20 targets at 300 yards, and 10 targets at 400 yards. To pass, the Soldier must hit at least thirty-five targets. To receive the distinction of 'Marksman' with accompanying ribbon and 10% more pay per month, the Soldier must hit at least forty-two targets. To receive the distinction of 'Eagle' with accompanying ribbon and 30% more pay per month, the Soldier must hit forty-eight targets.
8. Ability to disassemble and reassemble the Soldier's rifle within four minutes, blindfolded.
9. Ability to quickly re-establish chain of command when the Soldier's commanding officer is incapacitated.
10. Ability to stand at attention, in formation, without moving or talking, for at minimum three hours.
11. Ability to understand and execute the orders of the Soldier's commanding officer nearly flawlessly.
12. Ability to identify all ranks within the Illesian Army and respond accordingly.
13. Ability to perform basic live-saving first aid on a fellow Soldier.
14. Ability to properly wear the dress uniform of the Illesian Army.
15. It is unacceptable for a Soldier to be Drunk, Disorderly, Insubordinate, to Assault a Fellow Soldier or Officer, or to perform any other activity deemed unsavory by their commanding officers or the Military as a whole while on duty and ideally while off duty as well.

These Standards are absolute and apply to all Enlisted men in the Illesian Army, regardless of age. Officers are subject to similar though fairly relaxed physical standards due to their typically much greater age, but are held to much higher mental standards. The Marshall Triumvirate orders all Soldiers to meet these standards within four months, or face immediate discharge. It is recommended that a daily course of physical training be adopted effective immediately and indefinitely by all men of the Illesian Army, unless they are engaged in combat operations that see them enduring regular marches and battle.[/indent]

[indent]In the [b][color=purple]Tyrian Empire[/color][/b], the Colonial Department, previously a subdivision of the Ministry for Foreign Affairs is to be elevated by Imperial Decree to a central authority and ministry in it's own right. The new authority, dubbed the Imperial Colonial Office will be relocated to it's own ministry building within the capital of Landorf and will be headed by the Colonial Minister Yannik von Schonfeld. This new government agency is to be tasked with the administration of future Tyrian overseas territories. 

The Imperial Colonial Office will be granted a budget of $5,000,000 Krones. With part of this budget they are to fund the Anderle Expedition whom have been tasked with exploring and mapping out any regions currently unclaimed by any nation on the east Serranthian coastline. So called the Anderle Expedition because of Eckart Anderle, an official from the Colonial Office who is to be attached to the expedition and whose primary task is to oversee the establishment of positive relations with any natives they might come across. To guide and lead the expedition the Office will put out an offer to hire the services of a Euranian or Serranthian explorer willing to accept provided they are of not-inconsiderable expertise and prestige in the exploratory line of work.[/indent]
