We in the Kingdom of Serbia welcome the movements and plans towards the creation of a new European peace by the diplomatic and peaceful resolution of the two conflicts that have emerged here, on our sceptred continent. We support the British meditation of the brewing conflict between our friends in Greece and Armenia, and the Turkish Free State, and we pray that some resolution may be found. Likewise we support the meditation of the European war by the Netherlands, and we whole-heartedly approve of the Troelstra plan that Queen Wilhelmina's Government has submitted to the nations of Europe. However, if we may, Serbia would like to propose an additional term to the Troelstra plan.

The Trolestra Plan's commitment to national self-determination, should, in our opinion, be extended to more of the nationalities and peoples involved in the issue and conflict at hand. While the Italians of South Tyrol and the Austrians are offered a opportunity at their freedom and independence, the Solvenes, Serbs and Croats of Solvenia are not. Although Serbia is not involved in the conflict, we as the protector of the South Slavs and their nations are interested in the security and freedom of Solvenia, itself a South Slav state. Thus we submit to the Dutch our additional term to the Troelstra plan.


A local plebiscite shall be held in the Solvene region of Austria, known as Solvenia, determining whether this region shall remain in Austria (or the German Empire), become an independent nation, or enter into a union with the Kingdom of Serbia.​

We hope that the Kingdom of the Netherlands, and the other signatories and interested parties in the Troelstra plan, consider our amendment and incoporate it fully into the plan.

The Buffdate was done to bring nations closer to their Historical Norms. Only one nation was wildly OP, and that was Switzerland. The United States was used as the baseline, and all nations were brought to close their historical norms. Anymore talk of "USA OP" will result in severe punishment because I am sick and tired of it. The size of the economies are more or less historical.
 
OOC: I never thought that anyone was OP, I just thought it historical norms
 
OOC: I don't like games getting interfered with by the game master. I don't like people who have derped around for 15 years and ran their nations into the ground suddenly getting a lot of stuff just because "history". I don't see the point in any of these buffs or deductions - so far the game has followed equal rules for everyone, but now suddenly some players can get shit just because the nation they played did well OTL.
 
OOC: The Buffdate kinda makes no sense imo.... France getting buffed even though it was in lots of years of civil war? Russia getting buffed even though it went into a massively devastating ww1? Germany getting an Industry buff even though it also fought this massive war? Italy getting a buff even though it fought a lost war in Albania it didn't otl and also becoming a dictatorship which lowers Industrial growth? Random stability for everybody? Barzil getting boosted even though it had a Restoration struggle?
Most of these nations being under OTL strength has a REASON a REASON in game, and thus the buffdate seems kind of unreasonable.

Wait, didn't this world just go through 15 years of unhistory? Including several devastating wars and civil wars?

Also, wasn't a lot of the world in 1915 involved in WW1, and thus not at a good benchmark?
 
No. That is incorrect. The reason why I did that update was because of the stats being off in the first place. I did not take time to fully flesh out the stats when 1900 started, so this is fixing it. If you took the time to check, you would see that the "bad" nations that got a buff, got less of a buff that the "good" nations got. In essence, the ratio between the nations is the same, all it did was to bring them closer to the United States in terms of power. France is still a horrible, horrible nation. Germany is still just as strong. All I did was raise up the base line, not give random good things to bad countries, the bar was simply raised.

The proclamation of The United Undivided Provinces and States of Canada


For too long has Canada suffered under the yolk of an imbecile prime minister, who had no idea how to run this nation. His decisions to expand the economic base and ignore the military have clearly backfired right into the face of every hard working Canadian. Our lands are plagued with US-owned industry, and communism is knocking on our door. We have forsaken God, we have forsaken our purpose and we have forsaken our pride. The Canadians have for many years been enslaved by the Imperialists of London, and still we have received nothing in return for our loyalty and service. Whilst our neighbours have seen magnificent expansions of industry, our growth is hampered by old ideas and the fact that we are part of a failing Empire. Well, no longer!

To combat the threats of stagnation, socialism and Canada becoming something meaningful on the global stage, not just a funny hat for America, we must declare one true leader for our nation. One leader who will end the reign of the old and weak monarchy and who will initiate the new Free State!

I hereby nationalize all the railways in Canada and declare the military to be on full alert. I also nationalize all industry of Canada. Any dissenters will be shot. Any counter-revolutionary actions will be punishable by death. Any mention of growth caps will be punished by flogging and perhaps beheading. Please remain in your homes. All hockey matches will go on as scheduled.

Supreme Canadian President and Leader, Robert Borden.​
 
Shynka removed from the game. Canada is now open.

Deadline for orders are December 20th, at 11:59 PM EST (4:59 GMT)

The Republic of Armenia would like to express anger at the delegation from the Republic of Iraq for storming out of the London Peace Talks. Such behavior is unbecoming of a civilized republic, and not conducive to peace. Additionally, we express our solid support for the Kingdom of Syria against the expansionist imperialist invasion by Iraq. If they do not come to the peace table in 24 hours from now, I will order the mobilization of the Armenian military. We will defend our friends in Syria if the Iraqis do not come to the table.

On a better note, peace talks with our neighbor the Republic of Turkey seem to be making significant progress, and a final peace proposal, suggested by our proud republic, is being worked on. The amiable ambassador from Turkey has already expressed positive inclinations towards such a deal. The details, once they have been finalized, will be made public. I would like to personally express the hope for a peaceful and stable Middle East in the future.

Finally, I would like to announce the Republic of Armenia is having a final constitutional convention. This will create a final, stable system of government with a bill of rights that extends citizenship and freedom to all of Armenia. We will also be adopting universal suffrage for those above the age of 18, as our friends in Spain have done. The days of institutionalized racism have ended. The days of inclusive progress have come.

The Kingdom of Iraq hopes that Armenia will accept not intervening as long as Iraq only annexes the Kurdish areas of the Kingdom of SYria.

The Republic of Armenia will not intervene only if the Republic of Iraq formally issues a guarantee to only annex lands necessary for the protection of the Kurdish population.

The Empire of Great Wu

The Empire of Great Wu, holding the ever Holy Mandate of Heaven, comes before the nations of the world today, to lobby this first Diplomatic Message of many which evaluates China's stance towards the rest of the world. To start, we would like to ask each Western Nation to grant the Empire of Great Wu, holder of the ever Holy Mandate of Heaven, a blank slate in terms of Diplomatic Communications, and to ignore the grievous insults towards the West made by the former Qing Government of China.

It is here that I, Emperor Ha of the Empire of Great Wu, declare that the path forward for China is not to shun and expel the west, but to open up to it! To embrace it! This is different from China's earlier policies of letting Westerners influence and take control of areas inside China itself. It is with this, that we proclaim that the areas of Manchuria, Qingdao, Tianjin, Hong Kong, Zhoushan Archipelago, and Macao are part of the greater Chinese Nation, but currently administered by other powers. To this, we have no problem. We accept that these areas were gained lawfully, and will not attempt to challenge their Sovereignty. However, what we will do is ask Western Nations to return these, and will work towards having them returned to the Empire of Great Wu.

With the Declaration of Western Relations finished, we must move to talk about something far more important for the Empire of Great Wu. The past few years of the Qing Government have showed the horrors of what an Autocratic, Despotic, and Insane Ruler can do to a nation. It is time this has stopped. No do I wish to see the Empire of Great Wu descend into chaos of several local Warlords vying for power over their own despotic Kingdoms. This shall be no more! The Empire of the Great Wu, holder of the Mandate of Heaven, shall no longer claim that the Emperor himself holds the Mandate of Heaven, as he does not! Yes, people of China, and people of the World! The Mandate of Heaven instead is invested within the Empire of Great Wu, directed at its Government! With this new revelation, the Empire of Great Wu will be drafting a Constitution based upon this Principle, that a Government, not an Emperor holds the Mandate of Heaven. Another problem has been that the old Qing Court was a corrupt set of officials, picked by none other than the Qing Emperor! I, unlike previous rulers of China, understand and believe that the Chinese Man, the Chinese Woman, the Chinese People can pick their own officials! In this Constitution, it will be enshrined that a Government, holder of the Mandate of Heaven, shall govern over the Great Wu for centuries to come. It will be a period of Peace and Stability for the Empire of Great Wu, and for all of China, and for all of the World. This Constitution, which has been some time in the making, will be enshrined with the ideals of Western Nations, which have flourished while China has stagnated and fell behind. We shall embrace Western Government, and mold it to the Chinese Way of life, to ensure the Rights an Freedoms of every Chinese Man, Woman, and Child!

To my fellow Chinese, and to my fellow Citizens of Earth, do I proclaim and present, the Constitution of the Empire of Great Wu! It has been drafted in Beijing, in the ruins of the old city, in a small building, by some of China's Greatest Thinkers and Minds, well versed in Chinese History and the History of the Western Nations.
