Done, done, done, and they are because this is world war one, not two.

Interesting. I was not aware of any break in the Savoyard Italian monarchy between Italy's unification in 1861 and the civil war in 1945-1946. I mean, just because he had around the nominal authority as King George V doesn't mean that King Victor Emmanuel III didn't exist. Well, technically, he had more actual authority than the British king; it's the Italian king who overrode the Chamber of Deputies's attempt at forcing the Prime Minister's resignation and backed Prime Minister Salandra's push for war.
 
I still want the Petrograd Soviet.

Have you ever wondered why the Ottoman's symbol is a red crescent? :)

This prompts the question, can we control/influence government type changes in our own country? For instance, France wants to go commie, so it starts making martyrs out of the French Commies so that they gain support and eventually overthrow the Republic?

Actually I think I am mistaken. I'll correct it.

Can I play as Serbia?

Serbia has been defeated by this time.
 
Dont worry, Soviet revolution is pretty much inevitable unless the Republic leaves the war.

Sebia is defeated yeah, but cant I just play the government in exile until the war is over? I still would have some troops knocking around to fight with.
 
*sigh*

If no one else pulls for Russia, I'll take the Provisional Government over Romania, so Suirantes can take on the Petrograd Soviet. It's not my first preference, but it's not like I could do worse than they did historically.

EDIT: Actually, it's probably pretty much inevitable even if they do leave the war. All the Bolshies need to do is start decrying the backstabbers and traitors in the Duma who signed away Poland and Russian territories if the Provisional Government signs peace, while demanding economic reform and so forth. Classic Morton's Fork.
 
Thank you very much, now I can stage the glorious revolution!

Ok, but you'll have economic level 0 and will only be able to do what your allies say.

Alright, but you'll be sharing China with the Beiyang Government. No time travel ether.

Yeah I was expecting to be :) That's fair, just thought it'd simplify things.
 
The Petrograd Soviet is a dictatorship of the proletariat right now, DO NOT CALL IT A MILITARY DICTATORSHIP!
Do you mean a dictatorship of the proletariat in "Socialist Dictatorship"?
I like the fact that Russia right now has 4% public support, people are surely happy there. :p

What, even the bloody Soviet rabble is considered to be as good as my crack Janissaries? I'm the Sick Man of Europe, but not that much...

OOC: The Janissaries were disbanded in 1826.
 
OOC: If it makes you feel any better, the US and Italy both are rated higher than France.

And believe me, Ottoman troops were pretty hard up. Like the Russians, a severe shortage of shoes, ammo, rifles, intelligent leadership, etc...
 
OOC: Hey, a government in exile has a greater army value than me. They are some tough bureaucracy.
