This year I've managed to work through depression and actually get some posts out. Even though it's only a little, progress feels nice.

I always knew, deep in my kokoro, that I was a big baka. I, of course, place the blame on kami-sama for not giving me a good senpai.

There's a reason I didn't fully integrate them! lol
@Dinh AaronMk, I am sure that he can deal with it since he (somehow) managed to get back all of his colonies in the Atlantic.


It's not really "getting back" if they never lost them. The Atlantic is reasonably close enough for them to have retained control after the war, even if it was loose control.

Assuming the UK remains a principal naval power in the world, which of my current possessions, all of which are islands in the middle of oceans I might add, do you think I couldn't have retained?


Anything East of Africa, generally. Pacific holdings would've either been eaten by a country like Japan, or fallen under the protection of Australia/New Zealand when Britain was unable to. Then anything in the Indian Ocean would have probably been taken by (whatever came of India) or East African breakaway colonies, like Tanganyika or even South Africa.

Anything in the Atlantic should be fair game, with maybe the exception of the Falkland Islands, which could have been gobbled by/sold to Argentina.

In my opinion as a former Britain player in this RP. :P
@Dinh AaronMk@Vilageidiotx
Within this setting how much colonial territory might the UK have realistically retained assuming she was abit more reactionary in trying to keep together the Empire?


Not one of the ones you tagged, but seeing as the French kept their Caribbean, it's realistic that you would keep yours, too.
Here is an idea for whoever takes it first: Yugoslavia.


Romania would be a good one. They're the non-Austrian power down there. Otherwise- The Turks.

And if I just have the Central America territories, then I would get fucked by Mexico and Colombia. My claims are designed to give them pause before they decide to attack since I would be fairly powerful. Central America isn't like the United States or Europe. It doesn't have a strong economy since they have to be centered around agricultural products. Unlike the northern part of South America, they have a ton of oil. And oil produces way more money than food. That is the reason why I have taken lands from Colombia and Venezuela since it's where most of the oil is located.

If I have decided to stay in Central America, then I would be in a weak state. And that would give Mexico and/or Colombia reason to attack and take land.


And now that you've taken land, it gives Mexico, Columbia, Britain, and whoever else wants a slice of that Central American pie a reason to work together to bring you down. Not to mention rebels occupy more than half your claims, most of the infrastructure for getting that oil would've been damaged in your initial invasions, aaaand there's no way rebels would let you peacefully collect it. Central America has occupied the territories for less than ten years. Their control of the state is going to be weak, at best.

Basically, taking all that land fucks you over more than just taking Central America proper ever would.

Oy, oy, get out of my region comrade. You've already got Poland and Lithuania, but you can't stick your fingers in every pie you find~


I mean, hey. The Kaiser has a claim on the Russian crown. I could just assert German power in Russia via that. But supporting a government run by one of his cousins seems like a better way to go about it. Hell, even his wife has a claim on the throne.

Edit: And, you know. Sticking fingers in other people's pie is kind of what the Germans have a history of doing.
Yeah, that's what I was thinking. Can't write an app yet but I'll probably do something centered around one of those two areas. I was just asking in case there was something established in canon. When I joined PoW back in the day Russia already had some established states so I was wondering if any remnant of that lore is being kept.


Also, if you go for a government in St. Petersburg, we can roll with saying it's funded/supported by the Germans as the "true" Russian government. Don't really have the reach if you go for a Moscow-based one though.

@The Spectre
I think that, by the fifties, the British would be well off enough to retaliate in force to any attempt at their Caribbean territories.
