@Polybius It costs 1 action to enact a national decision. There may or may not be additional costs specifically mentioned in each national decision.
I don't know that the turn time table affects roleplaying at all. You can post IC as much as you want every turn, so nothing is being restricted at all.
March 15th A delegate sent by the Empire of Vornehm request a trade agreement with the Marnish Kingdom is rejected on the grounds that the Vornehm only ever visit the Norstran nations looking to make a coin.
March 21st While they offer their discontent, workers in the Kingdom of Azreka are forced to repave a road between Livonia and Ordomil in the Dallin Kingdom.

April 2nd Cato, the known as the Tyrant, publishes his memoirs. It's first line: Glory is fleeting and without victory I will soon be forgotten. Copies begin appearing all over the Continent, as far west as Gilbradia and south as the Lavarattian states, and as far east as the Tsardom's most illiterate provinces. Since his defeat, Cato has been held prisoner in the isolated town of Austurby, Aontas.
April 3rd Six months after the end of the War, the Concordat in Agreement of the Congress of Nations is officially ratified by the governments of Empire of Gilbradia, Osladian Empire, Empire of Vornehm, United Territories of Civitas and the Kingdom of Azreka.

April 17th Without ships assigned to escort them in along the Veldlandic coast, two merchantmen of the Gilbradian Merchant Fleet are stopped by local smugglers, their goods seized and their ships sunk. The goods were mixed glassworks en route to the Veldlands. While seemingly minor, the Veldlandic government requests to be reimbursed for the paid goods, while the Gilbradian Merchant Marine requests an inquiry as to why the Veldlandic fleet was not performing coastal patrols to halt piracy on their shores. - [Combined worth of goods lost was 3 Economic Rating, subtracted from Veldlandic treasury.] - [-1 Relations with Gilbradia if no money is reimbursed.]

JULY
July 1st The Diet of Palovia meets in Morintia, Zeelian Empire. Palovia, a former kingdom of some repute during the 12th to 16th centuries has long been under the heel of the Vornehm and Zeelians. The Diet meets in an open forum, and the Zeelian government has yet to comment on it's legality.
Hang on... Taking the mantle of Former nation of the Tyrant why are people deciding for me what happens to him? Unless the gm specifically stated where he is, I believe that is down to me
For the same reason that France did not decide the fate of Napoleon. He was put in Auturby, Aontas due to it's geographical isolation from civilization.
Can I be reminded what the date for the change of turn is? I want to see my colonies before I decide actions...if that isn't possible for this turn please let me know. @Theodorable
After Veldland and the last Batifegala Empire posts.
I'm starting work on the colonies now. They'll be finished before you make your Turn 2 actions. But, you haven't made your Turn 1 actions yet have you? So in this case, no you won't see your colonies before you decide your actions, but if you PM I'll give you their general location in the world. You've quite a few!
Civitan North Serranthia, Ft. Malcolm pictured, the largest fortress in the world, 1815
This is fine this time, but next time please show the calculations & price. I don't have the inclination to calculate the cost of everyone's actions every single turn. The formula is:
[Army Size (Soldiers + Cavalry + Elites) / 1,000] = Economic Cost to increase Preparation by 8%. (Taken from the Mechanics page).
NOTE: Sometimes I will intermittently post an event or action, but it doesn't necessarily mean the turn has advanced. Just an FYI. Great starting posts. Lots of things already happening.
Tomorrow are National Decisions, then I'll flesh out Serranthia (Africa), Mateen (South America) and Faresia (Asia)! Sorry for the delays.
