As a founding member of the Internatonal Olympics Committee, the United States of America is proud to participate in the 1900 Paris Olympics. May these games represent all the best that humanity has to offer!
 
The Kingdom of Serbia would like to participate in the Olympic Games, if such a thing can be arranged.
 
OOC: Uh...when should we send in our orders? Just wondering.
 
The Austro-Hungarian Empire would be glad to attend the Olympics of this year.
 
OOC: Uh...when should we send in our orders? Just wondering.
OOC: With no stats not for a bit longer I would believe.

The Qing does not wish to attend these 'Olympic Games'. There are far more pressing matters for the Imperial Court to concern itself with.

Empress Dowager Cixi wishes that the Russian Tsar be aware that any hostility towards Europeans is only a consequence of the hostility with which the Chinese people have been treated by some Europeans. Order is well established within the empire, and there is no need to such belligerent words.

OOC: 100$, meaning 100 in-game money, right? Or something? This currency thing is all rather confusing.

With both the treaties of Sofia and Belgrade signed, the Russia Empire shows that it's the only protector of Slavs in the world. Never again will the Slav nations be threatened by alien foreign powers that don't share our culture, our religion, our way of life! Never again will we bow before them; never again endure their oppression; never again endure their tyranny. They have claimed by force, what they can't claim by right. We the Slav people will be fighting as one hand, one heart, one soul.

This is why the Russian Empire ask other Slav nations to join our alliance, for an alliance with Russia, is an alliance blessed by God himself!

By the grace of God all mighty, our Czar Nicholas II has been placed to be Protector of all Slavs. Our people has been for long persecuted and exterminated, forced to convert into heretic religions or be executed. This, has come to an end. The Russian Empire will not tolerate any more aggression towards our smaller brothers and cousins. We know that any nation would act in the same way if they were in our position, facing the things we have to deal with.

We hope France don't get us wrong, we want peace, as any other nation. But we won't tolerate any act of aggression towards any Slav people. For is our duty, as the greatest Slav power in the planet, to safeguard the rest of the Slavs.
 
I'm facepalming at having completely missed this thread.

Anyway, good luck to all participators! :D
 
OOC: Fry has some problems RL. He has put a lot of stuff on hold because of this. I'm sure he will update both games when he is ready.
 
January - December 1899


Europe


Western Europe is mostly stable, with the German Empire slowly chugging along, producing goods, while the nations of France and Britain maintain a watchful eye. Slowly, a thin line can be seen in Europe, where two sides are forming, all fueled by the recent upswing of Nationalism and Imperialism, the Nationalism Part was effecting the Balkans particularity hard, as the Austro-Hungarian Empire and the Ottoman Empire show signs of weaknesses.

The Russian Empire announces that it will begin to move towards trying to incorporate Finland into a full union with the Russian Empire, which is met by some discontent. The people of Russia are underfed, overworked, and starting to get angry.

North America


In North America, the island nation of Cuba, under the protection of the Colossus the United States of America, comes into existence as per the Treaty of Paris, which formally ended the recent Spanish-American War. President McKinley has pledged to protect this new nation, as well as fully control the new insular areas of Puerto Rico and the Philippines.

South America


Members of the Brazilian Elite express their distaste with the idea or notion of a return to the monarchy. Their pockets are far too well being fattened for that to happen.

Africa


In South Africa, the Second Boer War breaks out between the tiny Boer Republics and the United Kingdom. A few battles provide to be disastrous for the Boer forces.

Oceania/Pacific


In Australia, delegates meet to discuss the possibility of a new Confederation of Australia, similar to the one currently used in Canada.

The Empress Dowager hereby reaffirms that Tibet is under the sovereignty of the Qing Dynasty and that the lands of Tibet are seen as integral to the Empire of China. Nations wishing to deal with the territory of Tibet should do so through the Imperial Court in Beijing.

The Imperial Court welcomes all nations to do to equitable business with the Empire of China.
