Chapter Twenty Seven
The World at Large, 1900
The World at Large, 1900
Here is the state of the world, 1900! Included will be enormous, continent sized overviews, and smaller looks at interesting spots...
This is Europe. The enormous Russian Empire is on the back-bounce after a 4th Crimean war, in which they won bacak part of Persia and Siberia. (In game terms, they were at war and I didn't even notice, that is why I didn't include anything about it in the last update...) We can also see that Germany, mainly due to the French-Irish alliance, failed to form, and the France now dominates Italy in the Medditeranian. Switzerland has been beligerant too, making them ranked the 7th greatist world power with their miniature Empire. Greece has gotten quite a licking from the Ottomans too...
This is Asia. China has essentially been dismembered by Britain and China, while France has remained weak with lots of in-fighting in Indochina and the newly acquired Irish Guinea.
This is Africa. Where, we can see, the Americans in the East, the Irish in the West, the Spanish in the North, and the Anglo-Portugeese in the South continue their expansion into the dark continent.
This is South America. Nothing much to report, just that Chile and Peru have gotten into a few spats, with Peru winning most...
This is North America. As we can see, a resurgent Mexico has, ith French help, taken back part of North America from the US, and Texas lies independent in the middle. The Great White North remains unchanged, as does Irish Newfoundland, since 1873. American interventionism under President Roosevelt, first elected in 1889, can be seen in Cuba, south Mexico, and Central America.
This is a close-up of Italy, which is a pure mess. If any major European war erupts, this is sure to be the powderkeg that does it... (hint hint)
Germany is disunited under squabbling dutchies under Prussian or Austrian domination. Sometimes, the domination is shared and tensions rise. Equally as dangerous as Italy...
The lowlands. Irish owned Goningen and French owned Middleburg comprise of the last vestiges of the great war in the lowlands...
This is an image of the Irish Empire, stretching from a small, under-populated island in North North North North North America, to the tropics of the Cameroon...
The results of a fifteen year survey. It appears that the Irish are, as a whole, mostly concerned about Jingoism abroad, and Laissez Faire at home...
Yeah, that's pretty screwed up. Russia is terrifying, and so is Britain. And Switzerland? Wah?
Your world went off the rails fast. Even Mexico avoided getting stomped, which is pretty impressive.

@Griffen.Gen- Yup. One time, I played a game as Belgium and France ended up invading Britain, successfully too... Vicky is a great game, but every once and a while she has a little bit of a spaz out...
@phargle- Yah, Russia and Britain are like the US and USSR of the cold war, except that it's turned hot on four occasions. Right now it's Britain 3-Russia 1. Yeah, I was suprised to see Mexico do so well. i remember they were quite shrunk in the 1850s, but the American civil war of 1864, and 1869-1873, and French interference, which has lasted 40 years and is still ongoing, Mexico has been able to be stable and bounce back somewhat...

Wow, I've never seen Italy that messed up. And I've never seen an expansionist Switzerland. What's gotten into them? Anyway, nice.
And I just love the giant Russia has become. Hope she's going to knock down the British in Asia a notch or two.

Yup, double yup!
Thanks...Well, Russia lost three straight Crimean Wars, but won the msot recent one. Perhaps this fortells the changing of the winds?
The world is surely different!
No nationalism in central europe?
But when it comes, then the whole continent explodes.

Yup, strange, eh? Yeah, I don't doubt it...
Funny story there, all that is American, but France and America are in a colonial war right now and France is kicking butt, i.e. they control but don't own (yet) Eastern Africa...
I have to ask, DK, what do you do for a living?
full time student, as you can see in my profile "Job? Where can I download that patch?!?!?!" :rofl:
Very interesting to see what's going on around the globe. That is one seriously messed up Italian peninsula! Thanks for accomodating the request! It really helps to understand the context of your moves as Ireland to see what's going on internationally. Keep up the great work!
Yeah! Sure, anytime. I don't mid, and actually I prefer, people to request things from me. It makes my job easier deciding on what the update should be about!
Thanks!
Yup!
Ask, and you shall recieve:
The north italians are capitalists. Really, it's just a guy named Vinnie who does "a little bit of this, a little bit of that..."
:rofl::rofl:
I've been following this one, and I have to say, great job! I hope you take this into HOI2, I'd love to see the Irish conquering Europe.
Thanks, my attempts at humor are poor, bawdy and often in bad taste, but every once and a while...
Yeah, within 10 years of annexing it, it went from 100% Dutch to 80% Irish-English...
Thank you so much! Well, no promises from me. I have no idea how to do that or even where to begin. So, even if I do, you'd have to bear with me for a while...
Groningen could be the irish version of North Ireland in the future:rofl::rofl::rofl:
