[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][color=yellow]Economic[/color][/b]: An order designed to benefit the nation economically.

[b][h3]July 10th[/h3][/b][indent]The second riots protesting the [b]Illesian Intervention in Toubrian Serranthia[/b] begin in the [b][color=lightblue]Toubrés Empire[/color][/b]. Marches were held in outlying towns. Business owners of merchant shipping and grain farmers came from Toubrian Serranthia to protest. "Illesian soldiers killed twelve of my employees, and two of my friends" one merchantman reportedly said. Initial reports from the Colonial Office report an estimated loss of $47,000,000 in loss revenues from the colony in the remainder of the fiscal year.

Having fallen under control of a local tribal warlord has opened an opportunity for a Euranian power to send a "peacekeeping" mission, along with supplies in a bid to wrest control of the city.

"[i]For nations that were for peace at the Toubrian Conference, it's appauling to see the Toubrian Empire allow a bypass by it's partner the Illesian Kingdom which allowed the slaughtering of thousands of innocents in the Serranthia. The Taran Empire stands for peace aswell as protecting the innocent, further military operations in the Serranthia will result in a mobilization of naval and army forces in the Tarantine Serranthia. We stand with the Kingdom of Etelia, and we too also open our borders to those who seek shelter and safety from the Toubrian Menance.[/i]"

On the same day, the government of the [b][color=green]Kingdom of Etelia[/color][/b] announced that Tara had signed and finalized a five year agreement to a defensive military alliance, promising an immediate declaration of war in case of attack of "local belligerents" as well as a clause for the termination of the alliance if either nation moved to closer relations with the Illo-Toubrian Alliance.[/indent][b][h3]July 13th[/h3][/b][indent]In the [b][color=crimson]Helrox Empire[/color][/b], [i]Kaiser Directive #1[/i] is issued, immediately calling for the conscription of 200,000 men to be arranged in to ten new conscript divisions. An arrangement of $4,000,000 was made as a "signing bonus," which was $20 per conscript--or $500 in 2016 dollars--to be given to every man who willingly signed up. Given that the Helroxi government was without any funds, these $4,000,000 had to be printed in new currency.

Starvation in the Western Hinterlands as well as in the Sladic Southeast are becoming prominent. Inflation, nearing 11.75% means that a loaf of bread was now 12 Hel, or $328 in 2016 dollars. Within eight weeks, the first Kaiser Directive was estimated to be completed with some basic training for the soldiers.[/indent][b][h3]July 14th[/h3][/b][indent]"Three Ronasatto-class Destroyers are sent out by the Toubrian navy. With the supplies to last the crew eight months and accompanied by some of the finest Toubrian cartographers, they are given the mission to scout the coastline, do their best to map the area and interact and greet with the natives, and then return to Toubres with their reports no later than four months after leaving Toubres.  The first Destroyer, [i]NMI[/i] (Navio da Marinha dos Impérios) [i]Leão[/i], is given orders to sail along the coast of Serranthia, beginning along the coast of Toubrian Serranthia before continuing West.

The [b]LA Type-2[/b] weighed in at 61 long tons with a complement of 7 with two fore facing torpedo tubes.

These vessels remained secret until July 15th, when news broke of the [i]Newsita Nationale[/i] paper, a fiercely anti-jingoist paper that deployed militarism and aggression. While deploring the weapons, international observers were reportedly impressed. However, given that the navy budget had just been increased tenfold in service to the deployment of three major battleships, those few naval officers who saw the use of these submersible weapons were however fraught to learn their voices were not heard in military circles. The [b]Fleet Faction Rivalry[/b] that began between the [i]Big Gun Officers[/i] and the [i]Submersible Corps[/i] (impromptu names that were never officially recognized) was now on.
