I hope this war will result in civil chaos, revolution, and a communist uprising to shatter the last remnant of the feudal heritage left in Europe! 
Well, I guess wars on the eastern front are always the most brutal by the looks of things...

"Traitor!" shouted Theodora, "Guards! We have a communist sympathizer in the Senate! Arrest him if he does not repent immediately for his transgression against the Empire!"
((I don't think he even has a character.))
Nestorius was reading a book about the Severan dynasty that ruled the Empire back in the late 2nd/early 3rd century. He motioned Hairini to come over and look at something in the book. She approached and saw him pointing at a section of text discussing the Constitutio Antoniniana. She was surprised by the information.

Nope, not a character. Just a reader who will, on occasion, post a comment to a friendly and loyal reader of my AARs!

103. The Time of Troubles - Senate Responses
103. The Time of Troubles - January-February 1911
17 February 1911
Senators,
On 23 January, Iraq agreed to Our demands.
But this good news was countered by the dire news from the Pannonian front. The legions, already weakened from their previous fights, were being severely battered by the Aquitaine forces and their poison gas attacks. We saw no other option to but to agree to the status quo and form a peace.
Of course, the legions were immediately attacked in the same location by a Polish army. But by the 10th of February, they had completely defeated that army the same way they had beaten the German one.
Fortunately On 5 February, the battle of Tulcea was decisively won, clearing the Bulgarian front. IV. Legio and XXIV. Legio immediately marched to free Moldavia from German control. But when they spotted a Polish army in the area, they immediately returned to their former defensive line.
We were not surprised to learn that during these perilous times, contact had been lost with the latest expedition to the South Pole. Nevertheless, We furnished a third expedition, if only to point to it as an example of the Imperial Spirit.
In other news, the humanities department at the University of Constantinople has announced a new major: political science. Students will learn the theory and practice of political systems.
And the school of business has become a proponent of what they are calling “human resource development”. It seems to be common kindness dressed up in a way to appeal to businessmen who only see their workers as a resource to be exploited. As strange as that approach is, We are pleased by anything that causes Our workers to be better treated.
In western Europe, Burgundy has made peace with both France and Aquitaine.
There were no newspapers considered worthy of the archives this month.

"This is terrible news. All those nations not seen for many centuries have returned to bedevil Europe, sneering at the Pax Romana. Disgusting!"
Bah, our Empire is so weaken and rotten from within, that two nations now have declared independence. We must move quickly to destroy them and purge the impure elements. We are the Roman Empire without Rome!

((Idhrendur, would it be okay if we spare some of the rebel countries for more challenge in Hearts of Iron? If we do manage to defeat all of the rebels and Russia then I fear that "World War II" might be a bit too underwhelming for the Empire.))
((At the very least, he has made white peace with some of the rebels so it is impossible for him to defeat all of them, technically.))
((But currently there's nothing stopping us from DOWing and killing them once the truce expires and we are in a better position to do so.))
((By World War II, maybe India and UTA will hate us so I see no reason to keep the rebel nations alive))
((But I don't think that a unified Empire would have trouble fighting either of them, though the UTA's location in the Americas might cause some difficulties. Unless they allied with Russia and/or Ming though.))
(( Again, you assume competence at my part. I'm seriously considering trying to rope someone into multiplayer dual-controlling things with me when I get the the HoI phase. Though scheduling that would be sooo rough.
As well, with how I'd like the story to go, the important thing in HoI is for the Empire to be victorious.
All that said, I am considering something of the sort. Maybe a push to regain all the lost territories is what brings the world to war or something. Fortunately, I've got some time to decide. ))

((Maybe railroad the Empire into losing this war and have the rebel states become members of Russia/Germany's spheres of influence. Then the Empire might go fascist a la Mussolini and then try to get revenge by destroying the rebels and their Russian backers. Or if you really want to win, at least give buffs to the Empire's enemies so that it doesn't steamroll them within a year.))(( Again, you assume competence at my part.

((If we're still expected to roleplay within the Empire, I'd rather we weren't fascist, if it's all the same to you.))
((Yeah, we take back the lands that rebelled but experience major nationalist problems, rebellions, and revolutions until the outbreak of World War II where the countries of the world team up to stop the "corrupt, imperialistic, warmongering" Romans. The fascists get massive mobilization and supply boosts, the communists get massive morale boosts, the others get... boosts. World vs Rome. Seems fair. ))
