The Empire of Siam was the last bastion of indochina to remain independent of foreign interests. Invading british malaya and the burmese shan states, they were able to absorb cochinchina and cambodia into their empire through purchase and military might. However all is not secure in siam, Yunnan to the north still controls most of Laos and Annam, and would not hesitate to move into siam proper! That is if the cantonese guanxi do not push through them first and think about trying to take us! Not to mention india and indonesia would not hesitate to move into the former british possessions. Siam stands between great powers, however her front lines are well defined, and a smart general can exploit them. It may be possible to have siam fight a many-fronted war, but the empire needs a steadfast leader.
Greater Korea has managed to stay independent of Japanese invaders and even push her back to the primorsk lands. But that is not to say Japan is the only enemy of Korea. Mongolia is mighty and shows itself thus, they may seek to claim the empire they never created. Japan stews on its islands, waiting for an opportunity to expand into asia, and Korea stands directly in the way. Peoples china sits and screams maniacal political views at us, but Korea would be naive to expect the bite to be any less as sharp as the bark. Korea will prevail though, the balance of Ying and Yang brings forward a Greater Korea, and one that will only continue to be as great!
The Nigerian Empire sits in what would look like an unimportant position, only barely brisking the borders of countries that would concentrate their efforts elsewhere. And that is the best position it could ever be in! To strike at the underbelly of the North African Alliance, or Egypt while they are off fighting distant wars would lead to devastating victories for Nigerian expansion. Ethiopia may mount a defense, but there Nigerian bravery can prevail. The Liberians lock horns, but their talk is cheap, and Nigerian arms are more than matched for petty slaves, let them come if they dare. The Kongolese sit in their jungle hideaways and would not dare to show face to face! Nigeria is too mighty for any too take notice, and Nigeria will take this notice to them at the end of the gun!
Persia has always been a land of great civilisation and expansion. Alexander may have defeated a persia long ago, but the new persia is new and should be dominants of the middle east. Persia has laid its independence for hundreds of years, and in that time not much has changed. But now is the time for change, new weapons, new ideals, new warfare, now is the time for a new persian empire! The ottomans to the west are a dwindling empire, a sign of the old order and their time has long expired. Turkmenistan looks to show its muscles, but muscles are nothing in the face of persian guns! Afghanistan speaks as if they were the greeks themselves, well then perhaps its time for a true revenge. And the Saud's across the red sea are weak enough prizes. The Persian empire had left its mark on the ancient world, and now it will leave the new world scorched!
Romania is a nation. Those words in themselves bring joy to the small republic, after centuries of hungarian, russian and ottoman oppression, being a free independent nation would almost seem enough for the small republic. If only that were true. There are still romanians left under foreign rule, and romania can never be in a position to be invaded again. The Ukraine to the north stands steadfast, but is nowhere near invincible. The Austro-Hungarian empire holds our true romanians that must be liberated! The Yugoslavians pathetic dreams for a pan-slavic state may bring them in contention with us, and must be culled. The ottomans and greeks both see themselves as rulers of bulgaria, but will never take hold of the sovereignty of Romania. Independent Romania will stay that way, and be forever great.
Yugoslavia is a dream of what could be. That is, a state for all slavs to be united under one banner, and one leader! Unfortunately many have stood in the way of our rightful progress! Greece sits beneath and seeks to annex more rightful slavic lands. Romania sits to the east and despises Yugoslavias existance. Italy looks on and drools at the dalmatian coastline. But the largest purveyor of filth is austria-hungary. They sit on croatia and slovenia and mock Yugoslavian claims. If it weren't for the trade guilds power they would have tried to take all slavs completely. Let them come, Yugoslavia will show them the true meaning of slavic pride, and take all lands rightly belonging to her
