((A few questions:
1. How is the core situation in America? I mean, would be possible to have an USA rebellion in the UK, or an Argentinian in Byzantium or Australian in France...?
2. Could you upload the cultures map and the regional map of Germany? (and the infrastructure or economics, in case they have any interest)
3. The party caucus are already opened? Because no one is saying anything but I understood that this Saturday we will have the results of elections and should give our candidates before that...
4. What is the meaning of the light orange color in the diplomacy map? Truce?
5. Is there any alliance in the world that we should know of?
6. I cannot recognize the flag of all our sphere...))
Germany must recover what is German, even if that means an increase of our army than in a normal situation we, the liberals, would not support. And the first step for doing this is an improvement of our economy so we can defeat our enemies.
I will post the maps you requested here in a moment. To answer your other questions:
1. The USA has only one core -- on the part of Newfoundland they keep. No Australia that I could see. However, I got a CTD when I clicked on Release Nations for the UK, so I can't promise that.
2. The economic data is, at this point, non-existent. I'll give you the other maps here in a little bit -- we're supposed to get a new version of the converter soon, at which point I'll reconvert.
3. Party caucus is not, officially, started. I wanted to give at least a week of lead time for new players before we start choosing candidates for the various parties. However, since we're not going to have the built-in delay I had originally counted on, that's a tough question. How, precisely, you choose your Chancellor candidates among your parties is your business -- I won't interfere, as long as the term limits are strictly observed. Let's see where we're at on Thursday, for example; if we get a flood of new players, I'll push the official election back a few days. For now, if you have clear candidates in mind, go ahead and share them, but they are subject to change until Saturday.
4. An orange country is one we have a CB on. (Yeah, UK owns part of the Baltic).
5. The GPs won't ally until I unpause; that's a little too big a question to answer in a general way.
6. Sphere: Astrakhan, Bosnia-Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Krakow, Morea, Ragusa, Siebenbürgen.
((I would be, but my character is an emigrant from France and thus not eligible for the Chancellery.))
It is theoretically possible for both houses to pass a law making that okay, FWIW. (It would be considered a constitutional amendment.)
((To be honest, I am, but I am also in some ministries.
This is my first Interactive AAR; by other way, Vicky 2 is the PI game where I have more experience.
I would like to start deciding between us the system to chose our candidates, if they would be our candidates to minister in case of losing elections, the politics of the party about main things (if they would be decided between all the members of the party or only those of the affected house...) and any other thing that you consider
A question for
Avindian: In real life dates, could you tell us (aprox.) what time will the first period consist? I mean, something like "it would be more or less from 22-12-2013 to 15-01-2014"))
I have no idea. I'll have to allow for some time for people to get back to me on decisions. It depends on the engine -- it could take a week, it could take a month, to play one year. I'm just not sure.
((Say for example I become Chancellor. Could I name 'my son' as the other Minister position.
Also what happens if a character who is playing as Chancellor, 'dies' while in office?
Finally, what do you mean by the Chancellor gets to name the ministers "bearing in mind party guidelines"? Is this in reference to the position needing either an Assembly or Conclave person?))
EtzelHoveri: yes, but he also makes reference to the results of elections. Lets say that there are 10 ministries and the election finish 20% AL, 30% L, 40% C and 10% R, then the chancelor will be C 1 minister will be R, 2 AL, 3 L and 3 C. The chancelor then can chose whoever he wants based on this but he cannot make a conpletely conservative government.
varetta answered your third question. For the first two, the proper procedure in case a Chancellor dies in office would be early elections. However, this could also be changed via constititutional amendment.
