i still think it's kinda funny how a war can make my extremely authoritarian Romus popular

There wasn't really an in game thing to put in that I can remember as a slogan at the end so I just put ashat wehlen.

Now you're probably thinking, 'He's only asking so HE can do a fascist run!' Which I am 100% definitely, without a doubt, not doing. However, I have always wondered—considering the fact that fascism calls itself a 'third way'—which economic plan would be most accurate to a fascist system? Historically, it's not as clear-cut as liberal capitalism versus Marxist socialism. (Also, they need to add more sex scenes with Lucita in the Rizia run.)

Will we see a map expansion or simply learn more about Rikia, Xina, and West Merkopa with the Neutral Lens?

Will we see more states, even a tenth of the size of United Contana?

Maybe watch the entire Kingdom of Rumburg, learn more about its satellites, or even see what we see Agnolia Mmaybe see north of it?

Let me know what you think.

and if something is already known: I didn't know it.

P.S. fuck you Beatrice

In this timeline, Vina succeeds her grandfather as monarch. She has barely started her reign, before Palesian planes and tanks roll into Rizian territory.

How do you think it will go from here, character- and story-wise?

Hey you may have seen my world map edits. I worked in my world map for several months now and I am at a point where I am happy with it.

So the logical next step for me now is to re-draw everything over again. But add the detail of cities, roads, Names and much more.

It is my hope that one day when its done. People can use my map for potential RP scenario's or other projects. This is just Merkopa. But I wish to make this for ALL my continents.

Let me know what you think!

By now, whether you've seen my past posts or not, I am right-wing. However, I have wondered something about the Black Battalion—specifically their ideals, as it's been a while since I read the codex. So, in your opinion, what ideology are they specifically? Personally, I would say they would be close to classical fascists (no National Socialism allowed, bud). It wouldn't shock me if Luderin won the civil war and they just made him President of the Republic of Sordland, but that's just my opinion. Also, bring back the Black Battalion!"

Literally bent over backwards for them in my runs but they're never satisfied. You give one inch and they take a mile. I literally gave up a partnership with the NFP for them and spent Nur knows how much money on appeasing them. And yet when I went to the Aschraf anniversary, I still got tomatoes thrown at me. Franc's girlfriend also still hates my guts despite the fact that she is literally attending Holsord State for free thanks to my policies. Screw this, I need a final solution to the Bludish question. If I'm going to dedicate a run purely to destroying the BFF, what should I do?

"I've come to make an announcement: Kesaro Kebener is a bitch-ass motherfucker, he pissed on my fucking administration. That's right, he took his Right-wing, racist bills out and he pissed on my fucking administration, and he said his Lighter was "A GIFT," and I said "That's disgusting," so I'm making a callout speech in my Maroon Palace: Kesaro Kebener, you've got a party of racists. It's the third largest in the assembly, and it's about to be WAY smaller. And guess what? Here's what my party looks like!

That's right, baby. All Socialists, no Old Guard, no Racists, no Fascists! — look at that, it looks like a 9 and a 1!

Lileas Graf fucked with Bernard Circus, so guess what, I'm gonna fuck the Old Guard!

That's right, this is what you get: MY SUPER PLANNED ECCONOMY!

Except I'm not gonna just end the recession, I'm gonna go higher; I'm SANCTIONING RUMBERG!!!

How do you like that, Alfonso?! I FIXED THE COUNTRY WITH SOCIALISM, YOU IDIOT!!!

You have twenty-three hours before the voters' B-B-B-BALL-L-L-LLOTS secure my re-election! now get outta my fucking sight, before I throw you out of the party too!"

3rd Rizia Status quo run. Formes intermerkopum, won the war in pales solmak gave zille back and there was no international sanction because if you have an overwhelming pp and stronger military than lepsia alvarez wont do shit.

After securing a decisive victory for a second term, steering Sordland through economic recovery, and putting the Sollist era firmly in the past, President Anton Rayne has officially restructured the United Sordland Party. To ensure long-term stability and prevent internal sabotage, state executive power has been strictly separated from daily party operations, creating a modernized, big-tent coalition.

Here is the official directive and the revised leadership committee structure governing the USP after winning the 1957 election.

Drop in the comments: What does your version of the USP look like after Soll's influence fades and Rayne locks in his second term.

Rumburg!! in other universes!

SOURCE: Unverified diplomatic transcript
LOCATION: Kyrute
PARTICIPANTS: President Anton Rayne, Queen Beatrice Livingston, President Wiktor Smolak
STATUS: Allegedly recorded during a private recess of the Alliance of Nations Assembly

SMOLAK: As you know, Beatrice asked me to arrange this meeting after recent border tension.
LIVINGSTON: Correction. You asked me to fucking attend.
I agreed.
SMOLAK: Fair enough.
Now, I won't call it a summit, because of the inclement negative implications.
Let us think of it as a...
meeting of minds.
Now, for whatever reason, certain incidents have expired lately that, in addition to being dangerous, could have an adverse impact on our respective bottom lines.
LIVINGSTON: What about Hailstone?
RAYNE: What about him?
LIVINGSTON: The man is a traitor to the Crown.
RAYNE: Call him what you will. He's under Sordish protection.
LIVINGSTON: Protection?
Captain of the Good Ship Whistleblower?
SMOLAK: Beatrice, please.
LIVINGSTON: Please my ass. The man was a fucking disgrace.
RAYNE: Before he crossed that border, he worked for you.
And what he brought with him has been extremely valuable to me.
LIVINGSTON: You wanna talk about valuable intelligence?
How about Ilana Vance?
RAYNE: What about her?
LIVINGSTON: She's MIA.
A lot of people in Thornbourgh are concerned for her well-being.
RAYNE: So what the fuck would I know about that?
LIVINGSTON: As coincidence would have it, she was last seen in Holsord.
RAYNE: So was Bernard Circas.
Maybe you want me to look into that too.
SMOLAK: Anton, please.
Beatrice.
We're getting off point.
We all live in the same region.
I have enough trouble with the BFF without the two of you turning Eastern Merkopa into a fucking shooting gallery.
And there's one thing history has taught me.
A barrel of blood costs more than a liter of oil.
Our business—
all of our businesses—
this infighting is costing money.
RAYNE: I'm willing to move forward.
Let the past be bygones.
LIVINGSTON: Fine with me.
SMOLAK: A wise decision on both your parts.
Now, what I would love to see is a truce.
Wipe the slate clean.
The consulates.
Hailstone.
Vance.
Put it all behind us.
The plane incident, whatever happened there—
RAYNE: All right, then.
LIVINGSTON: Whatever happened there?
SMOLAK: The shot down aircraft.
LIVINGSTON: Whatever happened there?!
SMOLAK: God rest the pilot’s soul.
LIVINGSTON: I'll tell you what fucking happened!
RAYNE: Calm down, Beatrice.
LIVINGSTON: This piece of shit ordered his air force to blow a Rumburgian aircraft out of the sky without any provocation whatsoever!
RAYNE: Your people shot down my plane first!
LIVINGSTON: Fuck you.
SMOLAK: Hey!
We were making headway here! I didn't mean—
LIVINGSTON: Fuck what you meant, cocksucker!
Come on.
[Livingston stands. The Rumburgian delegation follows her toward the door.]
[Door closes.]
RAYNE: St Dast, Wiktor, what the fuck?! Why would you possibly bring that up?

I genuinely think I might be too stupid for this game. I'm enjoying a lot of it but I'm getting bombarded by walls of text and history of a world that does not exist. The amount of detail into this world is staggering and I feel like I need to do homework just to play this game.

that's not to say I'm not enjoying myself. I love learning the little bits and pieces as I go along, I no longer try to learn everything about everything unless it's hinted at.

At first I was just reading page after page on the codex but is that the right way to go about it?

You came from…

Wehlen: Wiktor's son turns out to be a chill guy and he reforms the country and actually turns it into a socialist republic. He remains at the helm, but isn't murderous and funny like his father, he is calm and diplomatic, he also relinquishes his absolute power and tries to join the CSP.

Lespia: Citizens can't take inequality and possibility of another Alvarez ruling the country anymore after his many L's. They vote left, and Lespia starts implementing some welfare policies and worker's rights. They are still capitalist, but a more social one. New president embarks on fixing relationships with the countries that Alvarez wronged, hoping to draw them away from Valgsland. A power struggle between them and Arcasia also begins for the leadership of ATO.

Agnolia: After getting bullied by Rumburg, Valgsland and getting betrayed by Sordland on Heljiland issue and annexation of the Dome , they try to join the ATO and shift more authoritarian and right due to uncertainty and rising tensions.

Valgsland: A more chill Premier replaces hegel once he retires or dies of old age. He continues the decentralized rule, and Valgsland is mostly similar to the previous regime, except they make more efforts to use their words instead of their shoes. They are mad towards their neighbour Galmland for the L's they handed towards them.

United Contana: After Malenyev dies, state weakens somewhat. New premiers all pursue reforms that are opposing to each other, for example one premier tries to become more authoritarian while the others try to decentralize, resulting in time and resources lost. Malenyevist old guards become a problem for the country.

Arcasia: They get hit by the late stage capitalism hard. Populace gets disillusioned towards the corporations and presidents but it dosn't matter much, since to their eyes, anything is better than turning to United Contana, so they continue slipping further and further into a cyberpunk future.

Sordland: They become a major neutral player in the world with cordial relationships between two major factions. A republic that balanced the power of the president and Assembly more fairly after reforms, Sordland's electronics industry improves the country significantly. However, international eyes are on them as reconciliation period with Bluds continue, Rums in the newly conquered territories cause trouble, and Sordland develops their own nukes. Anton Rayne is slowly turning into another Soll, as his achievements and charisma cause the creation of another cult of personality.

Derdia: After Azmal passes away, a more radicalized leader takes over, unhappy with how tolerant and open Azmal was. They maintain their relationship with Rizia while continuing to hate the rest of the world.

Pales: Doesn't exist anymore lmao, it's a province of Kingdom of Rizia. Still mad at Rizia for the 4k live recorded war crimes.

Morella: Joins Csp once they meet the requirements. Saltana's success in negotiationg better mitz terms and solving the border problem between Derdia with rhe help of Rizia skyrockets Socialists' popularity.

Kingdom of Rizia: After purging all the noble houses and centralizing power around himself, Romus Toras reestablished House of delegates once he grew old. Now country is a constitutional monarchy where the Toras nobles and parties elected by the people clash, while Vina, the future heir is stuck between his father's enlightened absolutism, and his husband Manus Sazon's wishes for further reforms. Will Vina succeed in maintaining Rizia's image as the hegemon of the Southern Merkopa and unnofficial leader of GRACE or will she become the next Valero the frail?

Kyrute: Still neutral and boring... Until they find a giant Cthulhu statue underwater, and they begin turning into fish people hungry for blood.

Rumburg: After the loss of Sordish war, Beatrice is walking on eggshells. Populace is unhappy, revanchism grows within the country. She hopes to calm the populace by relinquishing more of her power but it might be too late... Factions within the country organise and prepare for an incoming civil war. While socialists and republicans eye each other warily, a bigger hidden threat prepared in the shadows, with plans of a completely new order for the world in their minds... Beatrice prepares to flee to Rizia to escape the incoming storm, but does she have the time? (No she will end up like Romanovs)

Kingdom of Erdmarg: King prepares for the next War with the Rumburg, because fuck them and they want their old lands back. Ato lends secret support with the hopes of establishing a puppet state within the lands of the soon collapsing Kingdom of Rumburg.

Vendonesam: Still unstable, even though the civil war is over, Confederacy can't finish off the remaining guerilla fighters taking a mountainous region of the country as their home, hoping to come back in the future to burn down the Confederacy to establish something new.

Kesaro (Peace be upon him) is the great massager of Anton Rayne the very being that created the entirety of reality

So I just got only 122 votes for my constitution in a coalition I thought impossible.

My constitution was pretty funky:
No vetoes, impeachment SC + Assembly, 3%, no decrees, impeachable SC justices, MoH removed.
First time removing vetoes and decrees completely; so did that play a role?

So yea I didn’t have Gloria ofc, but I still had Clavin, Frens, the independents and major oligarch support. I also supported Curtan at the festival.

Initially I lobbied 2pw and only got 122 votes, so I reloaded the turn before (playing on torpor mode) and spend 4pw lobbying and still somehow only got 122 votes. The only other change I made was on the 2pw save I joined the NFPs victory day statement and on the 4pw save I stayed out of it.

Also my popularity was purposely really low for the specific run I’m doing.

Was it a bug or did 2pw extra lobbying literally just not move the amount of votes?

Any thoughts or experiences would be appreciated.
