O'Brian did well to win the election again, but can he compete with others to build an Empire? Ireland's fate hangs in his hands, though i reckon the Bonapartes are coming to a close.

Colonies? Islands only, I hope! Madagascar, Ceylon, Cuba, Iceland, Sicily, England-Scotland and other uncivilized lands would be my suggestion.
Where did you find the image with the title "Clashes between Government and rebel forces, Tipperary July 1847"? Those odd hats look vaguely familiar...

Growing pains, I'd imagine. Though a nifty little Irish empire across the waves would be fun to watch.
Where to expand is the question: an Irish Empire in Borneo would be no bad thing. Precious metals, sulphur, coffee and iron - a fine outlet for the huddled Irish masses. You'll have to be sharpish though, as the Dutch have a nasty habit of expanding there quickly, and the British sweep up anything they leave behind.
Very interesting story. Will be following!
Can we perhaps be blessed with some more screenies?

Too many Irish AAR's die out (which sucks because I love them so much). I will be following.
I would like to reiterate my desire for republicanism, and to say that republican colonial empires are cooler than monarchial ones.

Long live the monarchy!
Boourns at ComradeOm's anti Tory anti Monarchist pro Connolly Republic!
I fell behind in the reading, RossN, but I've managed to catch up tonight. You never dissapoint.
Hmmm I'm surprised that the Tories (whose members must have been profiting greatly from the export of food to Britain) who take such radical action to actually help the peasantry. But yay for the malcontents! It looks like O'Brien's response has pre-empted Joseph Chamberlain by half a century

Well, RossN has done a good job. His response leaves me wanting the next update as soon as possible.
Heh, reminds of when I had to decipher a late 17th century letter in my uni history class. It was adressed to Swedish King Charles XI, written by a priest in a parish which was suffering from famine, and went along the lines of: "Oh Glorious Majesty, Appointed by God! We, your ever-loyal subjects, are starving to death. We don't want to bother you, but it would be terribly nice of you if you were to do something about it. Please don't kill us for asking."Hardstuff said:Surprising? Stop reading Marx and you won't be.

why would we ever want to do that?
