@Shyri What year did Tangyanika secede from Germany? Just so I can coordinate my history as the SAR

@BingTheWing

In my history, I only alluded to it being shortly after the end of the war, when Germany couldn't sail South to restore order. No specific date was given.

@Pepperm1nts

Googer has been an elusive figure only sighted from a distance. Unless there's something Feo hasn't told me.

@Dinh AaronMk

You know me and Googer. The chummiest of chums. Keepin' secrets from the rest of y'all.

(Butreallytho I just colored it since it's reserved for him)

<Snipped quote by jorcool>

The shaded Russian states are for clarity, only the colored ones are claimed, so Kazakhstan is open

Make plenty of borat references

@Vilageidiotx

Also, Moscow and Novgorod should be open too. I just colored all 3 in while Hug was deciding which one to play.

I present to you all the madness that is Russia.

Use stripes for unincorporated puppet states goddamn it

Germany looks hideous

@Pepperm1nts

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.

@The Spectre

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?

@Lone Wanderer

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?

@Lone Wanderer

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.

@Pepperm1nts

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.

@The Spectre

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~

@Mihndar

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.

Precipice of War - The Big Leagues of NRP (Only generous tippers need apply)

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.

@Pepperm1nts

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.
