I think not Councillor, unless you count Transylvania as part of Hungary. ((1.7mil at the beginning of the game.)) The precise figure doesn't matter much - a unified Romanian state would be enormous, simply put.
Exactly, all I am pointing out is the hypocrisy of your position on this issue.
Hungary was also enormous indeed, yet I saw it as a necessity to avoid the carnage we have endured. As for hipocrisy, I don't believe the radicals have done any better recently.
((Each state gets a number of electoral college votes based on its population in the latest census. Whoever wins in that state gets those votes. It's based on the American system))
Oh? How have we been hypocritical? Oh, so Hungary is a necessity but Romania is not? How interesting, I wonder how that will play out with the Romanian people. <Begins sketching posters decrying Papp as anti-Romanian>
Do you really need me to tell you ? Does Silesia ring any bells ? Or perhaps Vogel would care to explain why equality stops being worth defending when it would bring the Austrians to the level of others ? Or how the radicals claim to be defending the workers when everything they do seems to only aim to put them out of a job ?
Actually, a reunited Croatia would only have around a million citizens, I am told. And the fact that the Romanian state would be the least industrialized does not quell my fears in the slightest.
See into the future ? I'm only looking at what has been proposed, Deputy. As for radical chaos, how about the Vienna riots ? Or the recent coup, provoked by your colleague's obstruction and led by one of your sympathizers ?
Dangerous is too strong a word. Ill-advised perhaps. I don't think lumping together states with different histories and, no offense, the worst economies in our Federation is necessarily a good idea, that's all.
I would like to send my condolences to the people of Venice for the passing of the Doge. While I may not have agreed with his policies, or his positions, or a lot of things he has done, but I still send my best wishes to his family and his suppoters.
In case you've forgotten, the coup was caused because of your party's Minister of War and the coalition. Don't try to pin on the Radicals what we had nothing to do with. The Vienna riots were caused by actions out of the control of the Radical Party. Or have you forgotten the actions of the Venetians? What we have proposed is to help the working and middle classes, the actual engines of the economy. Your "job-creating" capitalists build and manage the factories, but they're not the ones who run the machines or buy the goods.
To answer both of you, I believe that there should be a disbursement of Federal infrastructure, industrial, social, etc. funds to the new states from the Ottoman Empire. They have often been left in a state of neglect by the Turks, and have not had the benefits of Federal spending or markets, and should be compensated for that, both as a matter of principle and to help them to catch up with the rest of the Federation. This should involve a mix of Urban and Rural spending, through railways for better access to markets, to machinery subsidies, industrial development, etc.
