Imperialis (Turn 9: Spring, Anno Domini 1704)

[CFan]

(Click for Larger View)

Imperialis is a nation builder, taking place in a (roughly) historically-accurate Earth, during the Early Modern Period (circa 1700-1800). Players take control of contemporary nations, and set out to ensure their nation's supremacy in the world through military force, diplomacy, espionage, and economics. The game will be heavily focused on exploration, economics, politics, religion, the founding of colonies, and ultimately, conquest.

Due to the small playerbase, I'm only allowing players to take control of major factions.

On Turns and Actions:

Each player will be able to make 5 actions during Spring turns, and 4 actions during Autumn turns.

All actions must be submitted in list format to me via Private Message. In addition, a post must be made in the thread containing the name of your nation, and the dice rolls for your actions. You're allowed to list your actions within your thread post, though they must still be submitted to me via PM. Standard actions are carried out using d100 dice rolls. The commands for dice rolls are:

Code:

[roll=d100]5[/roll]

or

Code:

[roll=d100]4[/roll]

(note: add quotation marks (" ") around d100 to ensure that the dice rolls work properly)


On Espionage and Covert Actions:

Players are allowed to make covert actions throughout the course of the game.
To make a covert action, you must specify (within your actions PM) which actions are covert. If you choose to post actions publicly in the thread, and are making any covert actions, you're allowed to list a different action in your thread post than the covert action you submit to me via PM. The action submitted via PM will be considered as the action you are attempting to make, with the posted action being considered as the action you are attempting to disguise it as.
Whether or not your covert actions are detected will mostly be a direct result of your dice roll, though there may be contextual modifiers.

Recent Developments:

• Saxon flute-maker Johann Cristoph Denner develops the clarinet, as a modification of the chalumeau.
  
• Venetian craftsman Bartolomeo Cristofori constructs the first known piano, in Tuscany, as part of his work for Prince Ferdinando de Medici.
  
• The Prussian Academy of Sciences is founded with Gottfried Leibniz as president.
  
• Much of Protestant Western Europe adopts the Gregorian calendar.
  
• Russia begins numbering its calendar from the birth of Christ (Anno Domini) instead of since the Creation (Anno Mundi).
  
• An English translation of the novel Don Quixote, "translated from the original by many hands and published by Peter Motteux", begins publication in London.
  
• Carlos II, the current Habsburg ruler in Spain, designates Philip of Anjou, a grandson of Louis XIV, as the successor to the Spanish throne. Philip of Anjou inheriting Spain and its possessions would end Habsburg rule in Spain, and create a dynastic union between Spain and France, and drastically tip the balance of power in Europe in favor of France.
  
• Joseph I, Holy Roman Emperor and Archduke of Austria, rejects the designation of Philip of Anjou to succeed Carlos II in Spain, and nominates a Habsburg candidate, Charles III, to inherit Spain and its possessions. Charles III inheriting Spain and its possessions would continue Habsburg rule in Spain, and maintain the dynastic union between Spain and Austria, and solidify the balance of power in Europe in favor of Austria.

1) Train militia's in the colonies. Obviously, disorder and unrest are terrible for the local people, the local governance and profit. To that end we shall hit multiple birds with one stone, as it were. We take the unruly populous and teach them the proper way of doing things.
2) Send orders to representatives abroad.
3) Offer pardons to any and all pirates who roam the Caribbean, provided that they become loyal Dutch citizens. Experienced sailors are hard to come by, most of all those who know the waters like the back of their hands.
3) Start construction of the Michiel de Ruyter Naval Accademy. In the entire republic we need capable naval captains and officers.
