The war that grips Europe is a war that has the ability to change the course of history. Never before has such a magnitude of men and weapons been arrayed across such a staggeringly large continuous front. The fate of nations hang in the balance, and the fate of the world and the ideologies we stand by will be shattered. This is surely the war to end all wars. Europe, your darkest hours are upon you, tread carefully.
Unless the war includes our allies, the United Kingdom, the Empire of Brazil will remain neutral in the conflict across the Atlantic. We will continue to trade and supply food and industrial goods to both sides as we hope to help support the populace and ease their suffering. Until this government notifies you otherwise this is our official declaration of Neutrality.
However, to our southern neighbors in the Republic of La Plata. We ask that you cease your current calls for Brazilian blood, and crusades against the Empire of Brazil. There is no need for for the atrocious remarks made against our state, and it should be known that we will not allow you to drag our nations reputation through the dirt. This is a call for negotiations to be led in a third-party nation to reduce the current tensions between our state.
Should The Republic of La Plata take any hostile action, let it be known that I, Empress Isabel I, will go to any length to protect my people.

Despite a general antiwar attitude in the United Kingdom, but due to the recent tensions in Europe, Parliament rams through a series of measures designed to strengthen the British Army.

The Spanish government, fearing invasion by foreign powers, considerably fortifies key coastal zones, constructing large batteries and fortifications to hinder landings and bombard close-going hostile ships.

The Spanish Royal Armada and part of the main German battle fleet clashed in the Western Mediterranean following the declaration that they would not permit the Spanish fleet to engage in hostilities under any circumstance. However, the Spanish thought differently, steamed out of port and engaged the German Fleet in battle. The engagement lasted for about two hours with the German fleet forcing the Spanish fleet back into harbor, but only with losses.

A French recruitment poster
Their business is war, and they do their business, said Kipling. France is indeed a military-minded nation, and as soon as mobilization began, the French people was quickly and efficiently organized in local brigades and divisions and then sent to the battlefield. More than two million men were sent to the battlefields, as conscripts were drafted and other more enthusiastic soldiers were directly incorporated in the regular army. French economy took a hit, but it’s able to withstand such damage. A huge proportion the male population was enlisted in a very short time, and this took the Italians by surprise.

This war had been prepared in secret by French military thinkers last year, and they have devised daring tactics for mountain warfare, that were soon spread to every corp. Delaying fire and false bayonet assault are to fix and occupy the enemy, when mountain regiments – that have been added to every corps – flank the enemy and raid their fortifications and artillery. The infantry, queen of battles, charges at that time, and takes advantage of the confusion. This has been pretty useful for the French army in the Alps, and might very well open the way to the Po Valley for French arms.

French troops charging fortified Italian Positions
The French invasion of Italy progressed well, at least initially. French forces marched confidently, and, utilizing mountain passes, were able to advance largely without incident. Their ideal march to victory soon came to an abrupt halt, as the thunder of artillery and the following explosions sent the proud French forces to take cover. Few had seen these weapons in major combat before, and so the sheer firepower both sides possessed were staggering. The Italians soon prepared a counter offensive, and as the disorganized French forces staggered to take up positions, they were met with another battery of artillery fire followed by a charge of the Italian forces. The French had underestimated the Italians, who felt they were fighting for the continued existence of their people and country, and soon the battle lines had been pushed back to France itself. The ensuing offensive by the French was extremely costly, though it managed to penetrate back into Italy by two and a half miles. A final attack by the Italians led the French to break, and when the frontline finally stabilized late in the year, it was five miles into France. The shock felt by the French High Command was incredible, as they could not believe the inferior Italian forces would be able to take land within France itself.

Italian troops retreating into Libya
As the Franco-Italian War raged in the Alps, fire blossomed on the opposite side of the Mediterranean as well. The French Foreign Legion began its advance early in the year, and met little resistance. By October, the French had taken Tunis and had begun to slow their offensive. The lack of Italian attacks masked the true strength of their defensive positions, and the Italian colonial forces were quick to make use of guerilla tactics. Their raids and harassment of the French supply lines greatly undermined the French position in Tunis, and prevented further French advance. Thinking they had the French forces starved and without ammunition, the Italians followed this up with a general counter offensive across the battle lines to retake Tunis and seize the momentum. They quickly realized they were sadly mistaken, as the French control of the Mediterranean sea lanes had allowed them to resupply the Legion. The ensuing battle was miniscule by the standards set back in Europe, but the Foreign Legion once again proved its worth as it soundly beat off the Italians, sending them into a general retreat and securing the French position in Tunis.

The most decisive victory of the war thus far came during the battle of the Strait of Sicily. The Italian Naval Command had ordered its forces to lure the French Imperial Navy into a trap to take advantage of their local knowledge and avoid the superior French firepower. This directly opposed the French Naval Command’s decision to seek a decisive engagement to ensure the French would have naval supremacy in the area for supplying and supporting their land forces. Things quickly went awry for the Italians when the Republican Navy began skirmishing with the French Mediterranean Fleet, and began retreating to avoid the thunderous cannons by the superior French cannons. This led to the Italians fleeting right into the Strait of Sicily. After some incredible naval combat, which showcased the terrifying new weapons that man had invented since the last major European wars, the French were able force the Italians into port. This victory was not without heavy losses, as even the Italian guns, though smaller than the French, were powerful enough to create massive explosions and kill many. Some observers wondered if the conflict in the all important straight would draw the ire of the powerful Royal Navy.

Once more, Queen Wilhelmina began to tour the nation, in the hope that her royal presence would settle the political differences between Netherlanders and unite them behind her throne. This was mildly successful, as if people for the rural areas were delighted to see and hear her, her autocratic tendencies only provoked more unrest than anything else in the numerous urban slums of the Netherlands. Among the population of the poor suburbs of Holland and Groeningen support for the socialist SDAP has risen in the last few years, and speeches from the queen, even if her goodwill is widely recognized, do not compensate for the anger at the government. The elections of 1905 promise to be interesting, and who knows what could happen if the SDAP became the first party, as its anarchist tendencies don’t mingle well with hereditary monarchy. The whole country is waiting for them, and political action is scarce during 1904, as the government refuses to do anything that could compromise further its position.

The Queen’s Speech
Switzerland and the Netherlands are nations easy to compare, at first sight. They are both neutral nations, with small but inventive populations. They are also both considered to be rich, but here’s the trouble. Netherlanders are much richer than Swiss citizens, and this was a fact that the Dutch government forgot. The Helvetico-Dutch Development Bank was a good idea at first. But a bank established in Switzerland, and supposed to fund development, would grant loans to local businesses, much more than to far-away well-established businesses in the Netherlands. Once more, the sheer size of the project when compared to the relatively small Swiss economy lead to wastes, but this investment, coupled to the banking boom of the last few years benefited the Confederation much more than the Batavian state. The medical facility of Rotterdam was seen with doubt in the Netherlands, as the port city had never been famous for that line of work. Moreover, establishing centers pushing for clinic development next to chemicals industry can be considered as a bold move. In the first year, the sole development there was that Eindhoven’s works were spread to Switzerland and that the facility was built. Future developments are expected to bring more benefits to the Netherlands.

Austrian identity isn’t deep among many people, and even if nationalism is far from erased within the borders of the Habsburg domains, a feeling of community is very well present and can’t be denied. Transylvanian Romanians are among the most ‘Austrian’ of the nebula, as the impoverished dictatorship that is Rhomania isn’t quite as appealing as Vienna for them. A recent declaration made by various intellectuals read that Transylvanians are Romanian-speaking Austrians, and certainly not Rhomanians, must to the displeasure of Carol of Rhomania. However, to Russian diplomats, they are all the same, non-Slavic fool the lot of them said the Russian ambassador to Rhomania. Partenie Cosma is one of the main advocates of this Transylvanization policy, and saw the treaty of Varna as an attack against his nation, Transylvania, and against his country, Austria. Along with Mile Starsevic, a preeminent Croatian nationalist, they devised a scheme to destroy the treaty. Russian equipment would arrive massively at the Russo-Rhomanian border, and afterwards Rhomanian trains were to ship it to Serbia-Bulgaria. Transylvanians substituted themselves to the ones who were supposed to run the convoy, which ended up in Cluj-Napoca. The military advisers, who had arrived a few weeks earlier, departed from the country, as they had nothing left to teach with. Parts of the equipment, the heaviest pieces mostly, were given to the Austrian military when rifles, mortars and other small weapons were kept by local militias and para-military groups. Carol of Rhomania was furious, and decided that the rest of the funds Russia was to provide to Rhomania and Serbia-Bulgaria would be confiscated by Rhomania, in exchange for a steady electricity supply. Rhomanian experts and electricity are ready to flow in Serbia-Bulgaria and Russia, and this should benefit the three nations greatly. The money confiscated by Rhomania has been used to build Carolova, a city where the Rhomanian people would be able to freely worship Carol I, where a museum dedicated to him was created too. In Serbia-Bulgaria, this was taken as a betrayal, and many began to wonder if the Commonwealth could survive, as it seems to get increasingly isolated… [-2 Public Opinion to Serbia-Bulgaria, +10 Prestige to Rhomania, - $120,000,000 to Russia, +7% Equipment to Austria, Lower costs for the next 2 Infrastructure Levels for Russia and Serbia-Bulgaria]

Schools are also to organize visits there on a regular basis. Older children didn’t particularly enjoy the tour, but undoubtedly this will have an impact on younger children and on the country given a decade. Liberal intellectuals are starting to protests against the increasing authoritarianism of the regime, and Carol will face troubles with the parents before the children get to support him in earnest.

A great survey of Rhomanian railroads was conducted, so as to prioritize railways for military purposes and to speed up the mobilization process. Special lines were created in case of mobilization, and mock mobilizations were launched to ensure that the state would stay ready in hour of need. These exercises and the mobilization schemes helped Rhomania, and it ended up with one of the most efficient mobilization systems in the world. Prioritizing military convoys over civilian ones comes at a price, though and the state had to compensate private companies for the losses it created..

The repeated failures have postponed these plans, and for the time being, the Serbo-Bulgarian army stays of a limited size.

The Albanian nationalist surge that followed the Byzantine attack was a unique fact in the history of modern Albania and Zog I and his government quickly tried to capitalize on it. They tried to emphasize on Albanian identity and on the need to act as a community against the many enemies of the nation. The objective was to slowly erase clan and religious barriers so as to reduce corruption and mostly to show a common front against the adversaries of Albania. However, centuries of clanism aren’t erased just like that, and as soon as the Byzantines had demobilized and that the threat of war had disappeared, old habits came back. The effects of the invasion are still felt, and nationalism mustn’t be ignored when assessing the political situation of the country, but the government and the administration are still very widely ruled by clan relations and feuds. The relative impunity of the Byzantine Empire didn’t improve the situation, as many arch-nationalists are now angered at the weak answer their government offered to the Greeks, even if the situation was very dire. [-$500,000 to Albania]
Now that men were back home, and that the emergency was no longer around the Albanian state began to develop its own programs, as the crisis has shown that a strong state is needed to defend Albania. Even if the program that was supposed to bring Albanian closer together failed, the second one, supposed to bring literacy and knowledge to the masses, to make the Albanian economy stronger and mostly because education is seen by Zog’s advisors as a way to promote unity and obedience, just like in Rhomania. The enthusiastic teachers sent in far-away villages quickly establish schools and such efforts will have to be pursued for many years, if Albania is to have an operational education system. The first effects will be felt in a few years, but it’s long and hard way towards a modern country that Albania is undertaking. [+8% Literacy Rate in 2 Turns, -$882,305 to Albania]

The treaty of Fier proved to disappoint for all parties, save Britain. The Byzantines had hoped for a swift victory but successful delaying tactics and mountains have sufficed to slow them down long enough for London to intervene. The possibility that the Royal Navy would bomb Athens in case of a reprisal of hostilities was enough to persuade the Hellenic forces to pull back and this treaty was the end of their projects in Albania. Albania itself sought to annex North Epirus and other demographically Albanians areas but didn’t receive the expected British support. A shaky peace was established and Byzantium felt humiliated when it had to pay reparations to Albania. The sum wasn’t that high in comparison with the Byzantine military budget but is consequences were important. The Nationalist Party could no longer brag about annexing Albania and lost much credit among the population. The ongoing economic crisis only deepened the rift between the politicians and the people. Albania on the other hand, even if it was struggling with clan influence, was able to count on British support and the after war was easier in the little country, since most of the rebuilding work was over in 1903 and demobilization proceeded swiftly.

As the economic front proved to be getting worse each day in Byzantion, the Emperor tried to react. He didn’t seek to fight against his government, as he knew that intervening against the hawkish Nationalist Party would be very dangerous for his position. So an economic action was impossible. He then cut a deal with Patriarch Joachim III and agreed to support the Patriarchate’s ambition in Asia in exchange for immediate support for the monarchy in the Empire, to ensure that even a worsening economic crisis wouldn’t endanger his God-given position. This could have worked, if only it had happened a few years earlier. The humiliation in Albania, that the government tried to make disappear with the stunning Byzantine Olympic successes, was fresh in every Greek’s mind and vague promises from the Emperor couldn’t make them forget it, neither could it make them less hungry. The people did rally around the Church however, and many local priests, with the support of the relevant hierarchy, began advocating for a continuation of the wars against the Ottomans. The clergy’s plan is to unite the people against a common foe and to make news about the economic downturn less present, in comparison with the possibility of war. At the end of the year, the population did support the Emperor, but indirectly, through the Orthodox patriarch. [-$1,409,781,

The Byzantines demobilized in early 1904, since the British military presence in Albania had thwarted their plans and most importantly because the national economy was about to crumble. The campaign had been relatively short and there were few casualties, which lead to a relatively quick improvement of the situation. This wasn’t enough to compensate for the recent losses and the crisis kept raging in the country, threatening to spread to other countries. The oversized Byzantine professional military was now entirely deployed, soldiers and sailors alike, and this weighed heavily on the state’s finances. The National party in an unexpected move decided to slightly lower a few taxes so as to avoid recession and didn’t make cuts on governmental finances so as not to deepen the crisis. Foreign investment was difficult to find in Byzantium, as it was hostile towards all European Powers save Italy, France and Austria. Italy and France at war, Austrian investors are the one who intervened in Byzantion, trying to take advantage of the situation to ask for lower wages and using the Munich-Constantinople railway and their preferential tariffs. The situation seemed to slowly stabilize, if not for the deepening debt of the Byzantine state. [Byzantium Demobilized, Byzantine Economy set to Recovery, Tariffs at 35%, Corporate Tax at 15%]
Preliminary study for the Air Dromon
These mildly good news, and the thought that bankruptcy was avoided led the nationalist government to even more expenditures. Military spending seems to be a trend in recent Byzantine policies and this time, since Byzantium ruled the Eastern Mediterranean and fielded an impressive army, the Emperor ordered for Byzantium to rule the skies too. The progress made in the USA and in Germany didn’t go unnoticed and the Byzantines wanted to try both Zeppelins and airplanes. Officially, those expenses were supposed to be the last but many journalists expected that Byzantine generals had grown accustomed to getting new toys and that they would start asking for more. This analysis was wrong, as the Byzantine generals tried not to make waves in late 1904 and were generally absent from the political scene, a rare sight. The summarized idea was to try both fields, airplanes and Zeppelins, and to adopt the one that would be most appropriate for Byzantium. As Byzantine engineers weren’t numerous enough for such a massive project, that was to get 200.000.000$ from the state, many artists were engaged for the designs too. Enthralled by the glorious Byzantine past, they wanted to combine modern technology with proven techniques. After a few heated discussions, the project of the “Air Dromon”, that was to act as a flame-throwing air vessel was officially launched. In the meantime, the airplane project continued slowly kept going, and the Wright Brothers’ model was copied. However, without the original plans, the engineers didn’t manage to equilibrate engine power and engine weight. This small error was never rectified, as the dromon project soon took more importance. On a sunny Sunday of September, the Emperor, most parliamentarians and many other Hellenes attended to the first public flight of the two creations. The airplane was a disappointment, as it never got to leave the ground. The dromon was much more expected and it took off without major troubles. The crowd began chanting and asked for a demonstration of the fire that would rain down on the Turks, according to nationalist newspapers. The captain ceded to pressure and launched the untested mechanism, that fired straight and impressed the curious who had attended to the ceremony. Flame throwing is always dangerous, more so on an inflaming vessel. The air balloons, unprotected, quickly ignited and the dromon exploded above the crowd. The catastrophe was nearly as damaging as the one Germany had suffered a few years before. Its aftereffects have still to be felt entirely. The costs are really high too – some even said that they were the only thing that skyrocketed that day -, since, if the program had been successful, Byzantium would have really dominated the skies.

The new Ottoman capital building
Busra, even with its centuries-old history and its past as Ottoman capital, has always been seen as the capital of the humiliation, where the Ottoman government was forced to retreat to after its crushing defeat against the Russo-Greek forces. The old dream to regain Constantinople seems to be slowly fading away, as decades have passed and Greek control on the city still holds. Adana has been made the new capital of the Ottoman government, to celebrate the new Empire, less concerned about its past and whose goal is to improve the life of all Muslims – and of other Ottoman subjects too -, not imperialism. A new palace was constructed there, and as soon as governmental services were moved, economic life began to thrive like never before. Busra didn’t really suffer from the loss of status, but Adana heavily benefited from. The population nearly doubled, and new businesses were opened all over the city. Always wary of a Greek attack, the expansion of the harbor was coupled to a massive expansion of the fortifications, Adana would be a huge thorn in any invader’s side. The construction of both civilian and military facilities at the same time was a blunder for the Ottomans, and the bill of the defenses of Adana very soon began to be raise, and ended up an extremely costly affair. On top of that, the Ottoman Army received new weapons from the Germans, who funded the change of capital, and trainers to help them use the Mausers. The loss of weapons was felt in Germany, as these old rifles were still in service, but tests conducted by the German military mission are conclusive and the new 1901 model can easily be adapted to desert fighting. The new German embassy in Adana is magnificent, created by the famous Austrian artist Joseph Hoffman, and the international reception for such a daring project is good. German-Ottoman cooperation seems to be greatly beneficial for the Turks, but a reliable ally in the Middle East pleases the Germans too. However, the ever-increasing crisis between Byzantium and the Ottomans could prove to be the end of it.

A new heavy artillery gun design for emplacement on the Bosporus
The Ottoman fortification effort is continued for one more year, as the Imperial cabinet members decided that the current defenses were too passive and only able to repel enemy attacks. Fear of a Western attack is well felt in the Ottoman psyche and installing huge fortifications seems to many people like the best dissuasion and like a good way to keep peace. The new Ottoman project encompasses the installation of huge cannons next to the existing fortifications, so as to be able to both defend the coasts and to sink enemy boats covering the troops that would land. Moreover, these guns in the Bosporus would make the Ottomans able to shell Constantinople any time. Defense schemes are drafted all year long, positions for the guns are studied and preliminary negotiations with W.G. Armstrong but the size of the order, made the British industrialists ask their government for permission before the guns could be delivered. Should Britain disagree, Krupp has shown interest too. The Byzantines are alarmed, because they expect the Ottomans to install guns in front of Constantinople, and because it could nullify their maritime superiority. The Byzantine High Command is currently investigating the matter, but without a clear response, some officers might be tempted to take the issue in their own hands… [-$2,500,000 to the Ottoman Empire, needs British or Ottoman acceptance]
The Baghdad Railway project proved to be far more successful with construction beginning connecting the new capital of Adana to Ankara in Central Turkey. The new rail line came in on-time and under budget, but there still remains a lot of work to be done. On top of that, the Ottoman bureaucracy proved to be very helpful and provided much aid to the German geologist and engineers and dealt with the contracts of local workers. They devised the last details of the plans of the railroads, and managed to combine economic usefulness for the Empire with efficiency, as the railroads would be used to greatly improve Ottoman infrastructure without slowing down the construction. The final plans and the outline done, the process should continue smoothly, as troubles ahead are already being dealt with.

Asia
1904 was a large year for Persia. In regards to its own economy, Shah Mozzafar-al-Din ordered that tax incentives be given to entrepreneurs and investors in order to spur economic growth and to encourage both investment and construction of infrastructure by those men. While the turnout of investments was not as the Shah and his advisers had hoped, it was still to be, in the long run, very beneficial for the Shah and his Sublime State. A railroad was laid along the coast of the Persian Gulf, then running north to Tehran, spurring some interregional trade and travel between the many villages, towns, and cities of Persia.

The Shah's next grand project for the year, however, was much bigger (and more successful): he went about on a campaign of ridding his government of corruption, of streamlining it, and making it as efficient as possible. Local officials that took bribes from outlaws and from other government officials were quickly removed and imprisoned – some even executed, if their crimes were severe enough – and they were replaced with loyal, honest, and hardworking individuals that were willing to work for the betterment of the State and for the Shah. Many hailed this as a great victory and a large step forward for Persia.

Men of the Guangxi Army on occupation duty
In Guangxi, President Sun Yat-sen and his Vice President tour what was once the lands of Xibei San Ma in an attempt to drum up republican support in the region, making many speeches and appearances in order to promote Guangxi's republican and democratic ideals. Though they are largely successful, some native villagers and townspeople support the Qing and their Emperor over Guangxi and its President. It is revealed that Qing funds were being used to promote Qing ideals in the region and possibly many other anti-Guangxi activities – in that regard, the rebels in the region fighting the Guangxi occupation were found to have somehow acquired Qing-made weapons. Though many of the rebels were rooted out, resistance still existed, and Guangxi casualties were much higher than they wished them to be.

Next, to further raise public support, Sun Yat-sen ordered celebrations in anniversary of the fall of the Taiping, to celebrate the equality and democracy that the government supports, as well as the equality that the Taiping wished to enforce. This goes moderately well, as in many major cities support increases for the President and his government.

The Guangxu Emperor of the Qing Empire
Meanwhile in the Qing state, corporations were developed – a mixture of being public and private – that would receive favorably high loans at low interest from the government. However, in return, 33% of that business's profits would have to be handed over to the government. Despite raking in a lot more profit, this hurts the government's standing – as well as the standing of the Emperor – among the small bourgeoisie elite.
[Many industrialists dissatisfied, Corporate Tax set to 33%]
Even further related to the treasury and finances of the Empire, the Emperor ordered that excise taxes be raised to 25% and for sales taxes to be raised to 10%. He justified these raises in national taxes as the government's need to support itself economically, and for the whole nation to become independent, rather than having to rely on massive loans from Western European banks. Support quickly rises for the new tax increases and support for the government quickly rose in the Empire's urban centers.

The Korean Emperor Gojong, realizing the importance of national defense and the defense of the Korean people in general, supported further production of weapons to arm the Korean Army with. The factories that could produced the weapons that the Emperor demanded, and almost too much ammunition to count.

The Emperor's next step was to order the lowering of Korean corporate tax rates down to seven percent. Though his intentions were to allow companies and corporations room to grow and expand under lower taxes, this somewhat backfired. The sudden and massive tax cuts resulted in nearly no companies paying their own taxes themselves, causing a bit of a problem for the imperial government.

Emperor Meiji orders the establishment of the Japanese Institute of Aerial Research, which he hoped would make Japan as technologically innovative as Germany was, what with their advanced airship designs in the recent years.

Emperor Meiji of Japan, the mastermind behind the economic reforms of 1904
Meiji's next order for improving the Japanese Empire in 1904 was a demand for more state investment in national infrastructure projects. Large and weaving railroad tracks, cutting through the sides of mountains and hills and weaving along the Japanese coastline, are set to be completed in the coming months, much to the Emperor's gratification. Even further, moderate tax breaks are given to Japanese businesses to attempt to promote growth, and the result is very beneficial to both the Japanese government's coffers and for the business owners themselves. The colonial administrations of the Empire even set about ridding their government structures of corruption and streamlining the bureaucracy, which was resounding success.

One of the rebels about to be executed
However, a disaster occurs when the Army sets out to demonstrate the effectiveness of the Type 36 in army maneuvers. With the Crown Prince himself visiting to boost the morale of the marching and drilling troops, disaster struck when several armed soldiers, believed now to be anarchists dissatisfied with Emperor Meiji's reign, began opening fire on their fellow men. The group of several dozen dissidents quickly cut down the Imperial Guard of the Crown Prince and shot him in the leg, before themselves being captured or killed. Though the surviving rebels were summarily executed by vengeful Imperial Army soldiers, the Crown Prince was wounded – though not severely – and provided for the Empire a rather embarrassing blow to national prestige.

To be christened as the USS South Carolina, she was built in record time with comparatively minimal funds. However, the ship required lengthy testing, which pushed her commissioning date back a bit.

No one would ever have expected the Republic of La Plata, previously deemed a very stable nation, to experience the events that would follow in the year of 1905. High growth rates and immigration, coupled to a decent quality of life in the nation, amounted to some of the factors behind the stability of the republic. Some men, however, were keen on seeing radical change on the Republic, for better or worse.
It all started when Yrigoyen, using the pretext of better positioning the troops to defend from the threat that Brazil posed, started to move soldiers across the country, armies were sent to the surrounding regions of cities like Buenos Aires and Montevideo. A nationalistic fervor ensued. Nationalists, both from the senate and the cities, started to parade through the streets in favour of the regime that they opposed only some days ago, for a while it seemed that they now formed the largest supporters of Yrigoyen. However, there was a detail that many did not notice due to the nationalistic fervor that ensued: Most of the divisions placed close to the most important cities of the Republic were supporters of Yrigoyen's policies and the UCR while the officers and soldiers that were known to oppose the policies of the president were sent to the northern border or sparsely populated regions, where they would not receive access to communication to the Nationalist-dominated military high command.
When the Army's high command did notice this it was too late: They were surrounded on all sides by the supporters of Yrigoyen, effectively held ransom on their own fortress that before these events was responsible for providing them with a base of power. Communication to their supporters was cut and there were no hopes of opposing anything that the president would try to do, the army had played on the hands of the president. Meanwhile, in the senate, even the most vocal opponent of Yrigoyen, senator Garcia Lopez, supported the actions of Yrigoyen, that were masked by a nationalistic fervor and hatred against Brazil.
Taking advantage of this Yrigoyen sought to solidify his power base and mobilize the supporters of the UCR for the events that would come. Batlle y Ordóñez was sent to the province of Banda Oriental, Uruguay, with this objective. The vice-president quickly started to send messages to the supporters of the Unión Cívica Radical, soldiers and common men alike started to follow his speeches and promises, soon the province was completely under the control of Yrigoyen's supporters and this started to raise the alarm of some members of the nationalist party, with some senators starting to question the actions taken by the president's party. These men, however, were silenced by no one other than Lopez, who hoped that if left unopposed Yrigoyen would pursue the prospect of total war against Brazil, even if at the cost of a state of national emergency being declared or concessions given by the opposition.
It was at this time that the storm stuck. Hoping to gain complete support of the army, Yrigoyen had ordered for pamphlets to be handed to every soldiers that expressed some kind of support for his policies. This would backfire when some of those papers fell on the hands of the wrong men... The uproar that followed this was massive. The news that Yrigoyen planned to attempt what looked like a coup quickly spread to the supporters of the Nationalistic party. Clearly angered by these news, Lopez was nowhere and was thought to be gathering support among para-military and nationalistic groups.
Yrigoyen realized that he would have to be quick if he were to suceed at his plans. On the first day of July he declared a state of national emergency and launched a coup against the national congress, abolishing it altogether and giving himself unlimited powers, backed by a combined group of militia and soldiers who supported Yrigoyen's promised reforms. Soon the armory of Buenos Aires was opened by the forces of Yrigoyen, or Yrigonists as they would come to be called, and a popular militia was formed. Soon the more experienced officers and soldiers of the army started to receive the basic training needed to fight, if needed, and the city of Buenos Aires received a new set of fortifications. The navy supported Yrigoyen and was important for his messages to be spread to Banda Oriental and other regions near the coasts or the rivers, it seemed that the coup would be a success and soon the president would be able to start his reforms.
Then Garcia Lopez and his men struck. A message appeared on the desk of the president and soon it became clear that all the Nationalist groups and parties had mobilized and radicalized, now calling themselves the "Fasces de Argentina", a group that sought to destroy the unstable regime that had allowed Yrigoyen to gain the power and on its place to create a militaristic and unitary state, backed by a strong and totalitarian leader, who would create the needed atmosphere for the eventual destruction of the Brazilian Empire. That new group was at first ignored by the most prominent supporters of Yrigoyen but it soon became clear that they presented a clear threat to his reforms, the Fasces had mobilized a rather large contingent of men, both from their supporters in the army and the populace, and would not cease their march on Buenos Aires until Yrigoyen surrended, was defeated or... destroyed them. Lopez rejected any calls for a compromise and soon president Yrigoyen had to organize his militia.
At the end of the year it was clear: La Plata was a divided nation and its weakened state left it prone to intervention by foreign powers... including the Empire of Brazil.

The Brazilian government starts the year with the construction of several railroads that will connect major industrial centers to resource-producing regions or, in Amazon, the constuction of more ports on the river.

Emboldened by the success of the new railroads, the government wastes no time in lavishly spending much of the year's budget on the infrastructure of their cities. An excess of phone lines is seen built through the cities, much money is given to the men in charge of public transportation, and many engineers are hired to bring sanitation to many major cities. While this may help the cities, the amount of money given to the men in charge is so much that they just keep what is left over to themselves. [+1 infrastructure to Brazil; -$43,000,000 to Brazil]
The government gives orders to the bureaucracy to streamline the amount of regulations and oversight on the establishment of businesses in the country, in hopes of attracting investors through liberalization. The bureaucrat in charge of it, however, has a rather perverted vision of liberalization and simply switches a word for a fancier one in the books, but does include a line about every bureaucrat needing to have a personal prostitute instead of secretaries. For some reason this seems to benefit the Brazilian economy. [+0.01% growth to Goods & Services sector]
The Brazilian government, in a rather embarrassing blunder, ordered the construction of a naval yard in the city of São Paulo. This city, despite being a big industrial center, is landlocked and as such was not a suitable location to the yard.

After that the naval yard was built in the city of Santos, even if it was not as grand as originally planned. [+1 Naval Level in 3 turns; -$42,967,153]

Alright, I thank everyone for the very enjoyable game, but I shall be leaving the forums for the next seven weeks and therefore must resign my position as Carlist Spain.
To my successor, I left you with a big army, now go do good with it!
To my successor, I left you with a big army, now go do good with it!
People of Japan, you have no doubt heard of the recent tragedy befalling my son, Crown Prince Yoshihito. This unwarranted attack by savage Anarchists saddens me, not only for my son's health, but for the safety of all loyal Japanese. On my honor, measures shall be taken to prevent and neutralize any possibility for the invasion of both public and private safety. As for any concerns on the Crown Prince may be dismissed, for he possesses great strength, and will recover soon.
On a far glorious topic, the Japanese Institute of Aerial Research proceeds at a roaring pace, showing the inherent brilliance of Japanese scientists. Already we have developed a functional model, inspired by the German von Zeppelin, and modified by our top designers. Further research will be fully supported by the Imperial Government, for we shall soar the skies, joining the other Aerial pioneers in this race. My best wishes to our fellow sky-fliers, such as von Zeppelin and the Wright Brothers.
As I suspect much variation to arise, I hereby proclaim the current class of Japanese Zeppelins as the Orientosutā, or Orient Star. May it shine bright above, illuminating our people in the warmth of progress.
- His Imperial Majesty, Emperor Meiji

This has truly been a glorious year for the Sublime State! The Shah and his Children, the noble and loyal citizens of the Mighty Persian Empire, are surely blessed by Allah! Those foul and contemptible curs who would steal not only steal from their fellows, but from their sovereign lord, is truly despicable; that they have been removed from any position of power will certainly bring greater wealth, order, and freedom to the people of the Ancient and Sublime State! His Imperial Majesty swears to the People and to the Prophet Muhammad, Blessed Be His Name, that this policy of fighting corruption will continue to bring integrity and strength to the Sublime State!
Furthermore, the great boon to Persian industry will be felt for generations! His Imperial Majesty, in his great justice and generosity, has seen fit to gift money from his own fortune for the betterment of his people; this great increase in wealth and power for the Sublime State shall forever ensure that the Shah's Children will forever be provided for.
Lastly, and most proudly, His Most Imperial, Regal, Supreme, and Virtuous Majesty, Lord of all he Surveys, Mozaffar ad-Din Shah Qajar, Shahanshah of the Sublime and Eternal State of Persia, Jewel of the Orient announces that later this year, a convention will be held in Tehran, the most noble and imperial city of the mightiest Empire to bless the Earth, attended by the wisest and most learnt men in the Sublime State, about the establishment of a Constitution that will forever defend the rights and power of the noble and honourable Persian citizens. His Imperial Majesty, the greatest lover of liberty and peace in the cosmos, assures to his People, His Children!, that this esteemed document, surely inspired and blessed by Allah, will enshrine to the world the inalienable rights guaranteed by the Shah, Nature, and Allah, to the Persia and her blessed People.
May the Glorious and Most Sublime State forever stand as the Bastion of Liberty, Progress, Order, and Righteousness!
~ His Most Imperial, Regal, Supreme, and Virtuous Majesty, Lord of all he Surveys, Mozaffar ad-Din Shah Qajar, Shahanshah of the Sublime and Eternal State of Persia, Jewel of the Orient

The Confoederatio Helvetica is happy and proud by the recent IOC announcement that the cities of Zurich and St. Moritz will be hosting the next Olympic Games. We thank both the IOC and the different nations all across the World that gave us support, and also congratulate our compatriot Adolf Deucher for the grat job he has done as Chairman of the Olympic bid committee; hopefully he will keep on with the good work and show the World that choosing Zurich-St. mortiz was a great idea. Also, we would also like to recognize the nice job done by the contendant cities of Belgrade, Vienna and Berlin; they have been noble rivals, and it is an honor to win against such rivals.
We are also glad by the development of the Treaty of Rotterdam, that has allowed the creation of a joint research center with the Ducth Government and will serve as a platform for the growth of both nations, and Helvetico-Dutch Development Bank (HDDB) will also serve as a spearhead of our future cooperation, as we are sure we both will keep investing and developing our own economies.
The current war in the South saddens us, and we beg both parts to end their differences and start negotiations in order to bring peace to their lands; should they want to, all Swiss cities would be glad to host a Peace Conference to solve their differences. Anyways, we will keep treating wounded men from any nationality, but we hope that will only be a temporary necessity.
Walter Hausser, President of the Confoederatio Helvetica.
Although I deplore the failure of the Treaty of Guadalajara, I would like to announce that, I would still like to continue and cooperate with foreign nations, to promote peace, and to forward the lives of all people. Therefore, I am going to leave for Austria to sign a treaty that will rectify the mistakes in the Treaty of Guadalajara, and to spur cooperation between all peoples.

His Most Imperial, Regal, Supreme, and Virtuous Majesty, Lord of all he Surveys, Mozaffar ad-Din Shah Qajar, Shahanshah of the Sublime and Eternal State of Persia, Jewel of the Orient has recently received news of these "human zoos" in the Belgian Congo; His Imperial Majesty has never been so disgusted in his entire life! How is it possible that a liberal, western nation, at home free and productive, be so horrifically backwards and tyrannical, even in that Heart of Darkness? His Imperial Majesty calls not only upon the Noble King of Belgium, but all the esteemed crowned heads of Europe, all colonial powers!, to cease these inhumane and cruel travesties! Bring civilisation and order to your possessions, not slavery and exploitation!

The Kingdom of the Netherlands is extremely horrified and disappointed about this dreadful and horrendous “Zoo” opened in Belgium. We urge that the Belgians come to their senses and close it down immediately, and arrange a return for the poor people back to their homes. The age of slavery is over and this and other crimes committed against the natives of Congo can’t be tolerated by the international community. The Kingdom of the Netherlands hopes that this atrocity won’t affect our cordial mutual relations with the Kingdom of Belgium and thus, if they wish to see our relations unaffected, they should comply.
~ Her Royal Majesty Wilhelmina, Queen of the Netherlands, Princess of Orange-Nassau
Royaume de Belgique
The horrific actions taken against the Congolese people is an embarrassment to all of Belgium. I, Leopold II, King of Belgium, hereby apologize for the atrocious actions of the newly formed zoo in Tervuren. The zoo has been closed and as of now is being converted into a conventional zoo, one which it should have been to begin with. Those who were brought from their home in the Congo are to be returned home immediately with reparations to be paid for any damages done due to the actions of our people. I would like to take this moment to assure the rest of the world that such an action shall never take place again, as we value the lives of the Congolese people and recognize the actions taken as crimes against humanity itself.
We would also like to extend our condolences to the families of those who have died in the ongoing war between the French Empire and Italian Republic. One again, the Kingdom of Belgium urges that both of these parties cease this violence and let diplomacy resume. Should both parties agree, we would be more than happy to hold peace talks in Brussels in order to secure a lasting peace between all nations involved.
- King Leopold II, King of the Belgians
