I'm taking bids. Right now Russia is leading the bidding, so better hurry up.

Russia, huh? What does Russia want with Panama Canal?

Also, what would I have to bid to take it at this point?

The Third Republic never had a constitution, just a group of laws establishing the branches of government. It may be technically a new republic, but I say it's just writing down a list of laws for the current government. I wanted to do it because reading up on the Third Republic showed me that it couldn't keep a PM to save its life. The President was more sort of a ceremonial role, elected by the legislatures. The PM was the head of government, but the system was so unstable that government's were constantly being reformed and reformed again. I want to make it more like the Fifth Republic, the President is elected by the people and is commander-in-chief of French armed forces and handles diplomacy while the PM is appointed by the President and handles the cabinet and domestic affairs. I understand that the the PM and President were weak under the Third Republic was for a reason, the last president elected by the French people pulled a coup and had himself declared Napoleon III, and the Second Republic became the Second Empire.

Ah, okay. Seems realistic, though it shall be interesting to see how your orders go through...

Say... Whatcha gonna do with that big fat rights to the Panama Canal?

I hear the German empire would make a lovely ally;)

SOUND THE MONROE DOCTRINE ALARM. ALERT. BREACH IN DOCTRINE.

@Orders, In the chat Dutch and Stein were saying to send non-Euro orders to Dutch, but I'd like confirmation of that. Also, I do believe all war orders go to Stein. But again. Confirmation required.

EDIT: @Byrd, I would assume a new constitution would indeed make it the Fourth Republic, but that's my opinion. Why are you wanting of new constitution?

@Pasta, brief response.

@Everyone else, we are obviously plotting a conspiracy

So... When does WW1 Start?

How exactly is the Boxer Rebellion going to be simulated in this game, as well as foreign spheres of influence within China?

That's a good question actually. Very very important...

Also, how do elections work?

*Shrugs* It makes sense ICly. Damn racism. That said..responded.

Responded. I'm going to push on this point, I hope you know. But it isn't personal.

France has the rights to it, but huge massive civil war makes it unattractive, plus there is a reason they had the US but the rights. Best advice: Sell the rights back to Panama for money.

@Pasta, you won't like it, I'm afraid.
