Bolivian-Peru War- : Bolivia

Bolivia, a nation landlocked, a nation surrounded by its Spanish brethren. But as tensions over trade-rights rise, the Blovians want their share in power. But rights to lands in Peru led to a brake down in negotations. What will you do?

A. The land must be ours! We will take it by force.
-1 stability
-25 D
Caius Bellus on three territories leading to Ocean
5 Infantr in capital
2 cav
-150 relations with Peru

B. We must not go to war, protect our boys, we have no need for the lands.

+2 stability
+25 D
+100 relations with Peru

Sorry to probably shoot something down, but what does that have anything to do with Bolivar? does Bolivia have a zombie problem?

"Get the shotgun, here comes that damned Bolivar again!"
"Remember to shoot between the eyes"
"BRAINS!!!!!!!!"
*POW!*
"BLAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH"

Hmm IIRC Bolivia is named after Bolivar.
Btw Bolivia lost their coast in the 19th century. Not remember then.

 

[Jayavarman]

Bolivia lost their small outlet to sea to Peru because it contained large quantity of a valuable mineral (phosphates?).
What is the current situation between Latin American nations? Maybe we can have them in a large war in the scenario?

 

[Kyran]

I knew Bolivia was named after Bolivar but why call it his revenge, did he have a revenge fantasy about invading Peruvian land?

Maybe it is better to call it Bolivia`s revange?

 

[Kyran]

Thats what i think.

 

[Estonianzulu]

wow, just came up with a name out of no where, atleast it drew attention to this area of the world

The reason I called it Bolivar's revenge was because Bolivar created the nation of Bolivia as a free and strong state out of Spanish control. The nation then went on to be stomped apon and lost its link to the ocean. So this would be sort of a remembrance of Bolivar.

But if it makes it look like zombies I will fix it.

The reason I did this was I thought that South American nations would need some sort of events to spur on action down there, otherwise it will be rather dull for nations like Boliva, who cant expand easily as they are surrounded, and have no ports.

It was sort of a test event, and from there I can change it completely into something else if need be.

Ok, ill have a second go

Here is one I came up with while reading the history of Argentina.

Economic hard times have gone from bad, to worse. Now three major parties stand on the verge of either ruling Argentina and taking power. A right-wing para-military organization headed by General Diego Matzkin is calling for a new Junta, to take power and end the collapse of the economy. Many big businesses support this, seeing a dictatorship as a way for power. On the other side, a Communist revolutionary army has arrisen in strength, its many members lie in the working class. A third group hold to the current democracy, and want to keep the government as it is, but faces threats from both the reactionaries and revolutionaries.

Who will you support?

A. Diego Matzkin, the reactionaries can get us out of this slump.
-2 Stab
Revolt in xxx province
Revolt in xxx province
+3 revolt risk in xxx,xxx,xxx provinces
+150 d.
+5 Authoritarian
+5 Offensive
15 Infantry in cap
10 cav in cap
5 art in cap
5 galleys
3 battle ships

B. Support the Communist Revolutionaries. Extreme messures must be taken
-1 stab
Revolt in xxx province
Revolt in xxx province
+2 revolt risk in xxx, xxx province
+100 D.
-5 Authoritarian
-5 infantry
-3 cav
+1 tax value in xxx,xxx province.

C. Keep our government, the problem will solve itself.

+5 revolt risk in xxx, xxx, xxx, xxx,xxx,xxx provinces
-50 eco
+ 1 tax value in xxx, xxx, xxx,xxx province.
(And if you can) end all current loans.


how's that?

 

[Jayavarman]

Change of gov't would bring massive loss of stability. Maybe -5
Revoltrisk whould be higher. Wouldn't you be mad if you lost your democratic rights?
Need to tone down domestic changes. What is authoritarian?
Why does change of governent bring military units?

Simon Bolivar is the "liberator" of most of the Latin American countries. He is the national hero of the most countries in the world. His body lays in I forget Colombia or Venezuela.

Its ok, just i thought maybe there was a story like Motezuma's revenge Some kind of curse.

Authoritarian, I dont know... must have not been thinking.

The change in military comes with the government.

Dictatorships are usualy inclined to strong militaries.

 

[Jayavarman]

They could have strong military but appearing out of nowehere?

 

[Gathenhielm]

You must have one positiv effect with fascism

 

[Estonianzulu]

Its to symbolize the paramilitary troops joining the military (like Hitler's brownshirts, or Musollini's redshirts joining the actual military)

Regarding the Bolivia event suggested.........
Bolivia lost its coast to Chile and not to Peru, so if it were to go to war, it would be more likely to attack Chile. Also in the 1930's Bolivia lost a devastaint war to Paraguay, in which it lost the entire Chaco region. Still to this day Bolivia is angry at these two countries.

 

[unmerged(8027)]

Here is a suggestion for some sort of event regarding Cocaine, that could be for Peru, Bolivia and Colombia.
SOmething like.....
International pressures have demanded that we put a halt of the practice of growing cocaine.
if yes
+50 relations with all countries
Tax rates are lowered in all provinces
if no......
-50 relations
+500 gold form all the happy coca farmers

 

[Estonianzulu]

Chile's only connected province is its capital so it cant gain that.
