OOC: Gotta make a stupid note again

Prussia is presently unwilling to ally with the United States but will make a mutual defense treaty with Russia contingent on Russia and the Ottomans signing a 10 year non-aggression pact. It justifies this condition by expressing Prussian desire to prevent American chaos spreading through Europe to Asia and engulfing the entire planet. Prussia will attend the conference in Constantinople.
What I mean is, Britain is going to piss off a whole lot of neutral states by shutting down trade.
According to the Maritime History of the US page, the US merchant navy is the largest in the world this very year. While I couldn't find a source to verify, there were several sourced quotes about the ridiculous number of ships built in the 1850s, so I am inclined to believe it.
And have you figured out what everyone else is doing?

That's beside the point. You and you prove it by . Regardless of who or what you are, you have an opinion, you engage in conversation, and so on.There is no evidence of the of any kind of deity. Therefore, it does not exist.That's as brutally simple as I can put it for you.


I didn't ask for proof of my existence, I asked for proof of my humanity. Try again.
Who has yet to send orders?
A massive contingent of the British Navy is in the East due to the only recently completed Second Opium War. 173 ships as of October, 1860.
3000 troops in Australia, only one regiment, from "List of British Regiments in Australia" Wikipedia page. Working on navy now. The soldiers add up to 94,000, so let's call it a nice, even hundred thousand colonial troops? There are too many colonies that are obscure to do a better count.
Found it! On the British Raj Wikipedia page, 84,000 British troops in India this very year.
3000 Brits in South Africa on the onset of the Boer war. I would imagine the majority of the British troops are in India considering the enormous revolt that just happened four years earlier. Working on finding numbers for that. I will assume the Indian Army, composed of natives, counts more as reserves than regulars, otherwise Britain would only have a few thousand troops at home and the Indian army wasn't close to British regular standards.
