World at War: 1914

World War I (WWI or WW1 or World War One), also known as the First World War or the Great War, was a global war centred in Europe that began on 28 July 1914 and lasted until 11 November 1918. More than 9 million combatants and 7 million civilians died as a result of the war, a casualty rate exacerbated by the belligerents' technological and industrial sophistication, and tactical stalemate. It was one of the deadliest conflicts in history, paving the way for major political changes, including revolutions in many of the nations involved.

The war drew in all the world's economic great powers, which were assembled in two opposing alliances: the Allies (based on the Triple Entente of the United Kingdom, France and the Russian Empire) and the Central Powers of Germany and Austria-Hungary. Although Italy had also been a member of the Triple Alliance alongside Germany and Austria-Hungary, it did not join the Central Powers, as Austria-Hungary had taken the offensive against the terms of the alliance. These alliances were reorganised and expanded as more nations entered the war: Italy, Japan and the United States joined the Allies, and the Ottoman Empire and Bulgaria the Central Powers. Ultimately, more than 70 million military personnel, including 60 million Europeans, were mobilised in one of the largest wars in history.

The immediate trigger for war was the 28 June 1914 assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria, heir to the throne of Austria-Hungary, by Yugoslav nationalist Gavrilo Princip in Sarajevo. This set off a diplomatic crisis when Austria-Hungary delivered an ultimatum to the Kingdom of Serbia, and international alliances formed over the previous decades were invoked. Within weeks, the major powers were at war and the conflict soon spread around the world.

The date is July 28th, 1914 and the first great war has begun. The Archduke of Austro-Hungary is dead, and Europe is in Chaos. No one is safe from the madness, from the Americas to Africa this war will be fought, and the end is nowhere in sight. It is up to you, the player to decide, do you support the allies, the central powers, or do you want to try and be neutral. You are the leader, you are the king. (Note the countries that joined the war later on, such as the USA, are neutral)

The way this game is going to be played should be fairly simple. You, the player, send your orders to me. I shall roll a 2 die, if the number is on the top half 7-12, your thing succeeds, 7 being a small success and 12 being smashing, if it is 0-6, your order fails, 0 being an epic fail and 6 being a small fail that you can recover from next turn. Each round of orders will be the span of 1 year. I know what you are thinking, this is way to much time, but there are these things called war orders. A war order is a daily order that you post daily. You can only do them while a war is going on (Note, if this gets popular it will last longer then WW1, my goal is to go to at least WW2 or later), and it involves moving troops from place to place, or anything.

Nations and there rankings:
So I like to play Victoria 2, so yeah. This game will have 2 measures of ranking, The Great Powers, these are the top 8 nations overall, and the Secondary powers, the 9-16 ranking.

Orders work as thus:
A turn starts every 4 days, so that means the game will go by a bit faster.
Orders are sent to the GM via private message with the title formatted as; 'WaW 1914 - Nation Name - Year'. Example (and this is a heavily simplified version):

WaW - Japan - 1914
Order One (The Main Goal): Try to improve the economy by increasing the tax.
Order Two: Increase the amount of meat produced by building more slaughterhouses.
Order Three: Build more factories in the larger cities so that the economy can be improved.
Order Four: Build a school in Tokyo to increase the amount of educated people.

Great Powers get: 1 Main goal and 3 other orders but get more money growth and more influence.
Secondary Powers get: 2 Main Goals and 2 other Orders but get less money growth and Influence then Great powers.
The Rest get: 3 Main Goals and 1 Other orders but get less money growth and influence overall

Main goals amp up the chance of orders being successful. They make 7-12 to 5-12, so if you role 5 to 12, it works.

National Stats

National Statistics, also called "Stats", are the main thing that keeps World at War: 1914 moving along. How to use them are below.

Rules

1) Remain civilised at all times.
2) I leave people behind, if you don't send in your orders, you must catch up.
3) Keep things realistic. I understand that it is unlikely that we will be following the OTL to the exact, but still, we don't need Ebola Nukes
4) Don't be afraid of losing a war.
5) Be as harsh as you want with War settlements Fascism is fun and is superior.
6) Yolosweg420BlazeIt
7) Start Wars all you want, it is always your opponents fault, for both sides. You both caused it.
8) All treaties/alliances made secretly MUST be sent to me also. Don't worry, I don't bite.
9) No editing IC posts except to correct grammatical errors.
10) Wars can only end with a mutually agreed upon Peace Treaty. This includes if a nation is wiped out completely.
11) Declarations of War are final, and cannot be taken back. Only a Peace Treaty may resolve the conflict, even if no fighting occurs.
12) All Mobilization by countries must be announced 12 hours before the next turn
13) All IC posts must include either your nation's flag.
14) If you are gone for 6 turns, you are kicked out, unless you give why.
15) I am not infallible. In fact, I fail a lot. If you have to say something, feel free to ask, but don't get whiny (I'm looking at you Dinh), with me.
16) You list the nations you want in a top 3 format.
17) My word is the final word, like just right now, FINAL!

I'd like to clarify that the IAM is not a corporation. I believe the most appropriate term would probably be a partnership. Regardless, the point of the mater is that the company itself is privately owned.

ah ok.

Bobby sat in his office, staring out the window, when Boudreaux, his Diplomatic adviser, walked in.
"What is it Boudreaux" Bobby Jindal II asked.
"Great King, the EC has sent us a request for a meeting in Paris" Boudreaux states.
"Show me the letter Boudreaux".
Boudreaux went back and got the letter, bringing it to Bobby for his eyes to see.
"Well, send him a letter saying I accept" the King states.

For the EC

We, the Great Kingdom of the Louisiana, accept your offer for a world meeting, we do not know what others will say, but we do know we shall be there.

Name: MOTH, originally, but the meaning of the name was lost when the founder got into a fight with his wife, so it's MOTH just without the words actually known.Number of Members: 157,390 personnel.Type of Group: PMC/ Paramilitary/ ProgressivistsCause: Earn money, stay powerful, don't be well known to the world at largeLocation: Scattered compounds throughout Brazil, multiple islands off the coast of different countries that are purchased under different names, with hideouts in various major cities across the worldHistory: Founded shortly after the M1 Garand was designed [for they who helped design it] and simply branched off as members of the US defense and research agencies, figuring they could make more money on their own. They called in like-minded people from various organizations in the US and across the world, and simply began expanding and getting hired out, primarily by agencies like the CIA and the KGB to do things that they didn't necessarily didn't want to be caught doing- private military contractors with trained agents can carry out missions as an independent party, and can't get a nation blamed for something. Safer for them, maybe more expensive, but also helps with keeping relations with other places without jeopardizing it. After that, they just kept on going, pulling in serious money from Russia and other communist countries, while feeding off of first-world democratic countries with well-placed agents to get the latest technology. Occasionally, they'll topple a government who owes them a government, more often by supplying a rebellion or somesuch.Leaders Name: General Dmitry Sharkovosky
