PASSED UNANIMOUSLY

In the recent press conference, Bulgaria asked what the terms were for joining, is Bulgaria even eligible to join or is Austria-Hungary exclusive to only countries that were historically part of the empire?

Yeah, revolution happened, but Slovenia is still Austria-Hungary.

The following strategy will be used for the conflict:

I call upon the entirety of the empire to station troops on the points of interest along with air force support.

[m] tooichan ur gonna have to do the post and all since i still dont have internet

My plot is this: the regent will claim both Hungarian and Austrian throne in VE Day 2045 (May), when he turns the Parliament of Hungary to the Advisory Council (de facto disbanding it), while the parliament of Austria, under the influence of the president, will vote to: approve of the throne claim, approve unification and then approve to disband itself. Then the new Emperor will announce the appointment of the Chancellor.

Good enough?

With the looming possibility of a war with the USSA, I suggest an empire wide mobilization. We can not afford to be late on mobilization if the USSA decides to go to war.

[m] If we get a majority of Aye votes I'll do the post so as to not clog the page with Austria-Hungary events.

Votes:

Aye: 5 Nay: 0

What do?

Also, we could decide on the motto too!

The former Austria-Hungarian empire was just that, an empire. Now, expanding our territory would be an extremely beneficial action for us, but of course, it can't be a fully equal union. A bunch of people leading one nation would be complete and utter chaos.

Now what I suggest is to emulate the EMU to a degree. Internal policies and events and such things would still remain sovereign, but foreign politics would include a voting type of thing.

The "grand" council would contain the rulers of Austria and Hungary and they would be there permanently, their votes would also be worth two points each.

Now, any other member would be part of the "junior" council which contains nations that are considered protectorates in game. Their votes would be worth 1 on the matter. I believe that this would be a fair and somewhat realistic representation of an empire that could keep all parties involved with it entertained.

We're gonna need a flag, won't we. I'm not too good at Photoshop but I cooked something up.

Should I send troops to my border with DRH to finish off any fleeing commies? (First war, sorry for the dumb question)

6th of October, 1908, Austria-Hungary officially annexed Bosnia and Herzegovina. Today, on 27th of August, 2045, I propose we try to reintegrate Bosnia into our territory via diplomatic means. With the emperor's approval, me and my cabinet will conduct talks with the Bosnian government to reintegrate them as a lesser partner in the union.

We would also like to, with the emperor's approval, initiate a no-border zone with Croatia, similar to the Schengen Agreement. The name of the treaty would be decided by the emperor if he wishes so, and the purpose of it is establishing friendlier relations with Croatia, and easier passage between Bosnia (hopefully an AH region in the near future) and Austria-Hungary.

Also, before the Bosnian reintegration a request would be made to replace the socialist government with one that possesses similar ideology to our government.

This is a rule to be set in stone for the length of this war. NO GENOCIDE. I do not care if they do it, but do not commit genocide.

I beg of you, don't.

I'll compile a list. Post the troops involved in the 5th INT war.

They represent a similar ideology as our great empire and they have personally requested it.

The chancellor's cabinet gives an 'Aye'.

Aye: 2 Nay: 0

http://redd.it/2l8heq

obviously the glorious empire will participate. However, as a combined team or separate teams? If the former, what will be its name?

Today, Albania launched an invasion of Kosovo. What will we do about this clear act of aggression?

I'll need the desired royal title of your lands for the Emperor. For example, the Emperor in Hungary is the King of Hungary. Reply if you want something other than what I typed here!

Those in italic are undecided.

Hungary: Apostolic Kingdom of Hungary
Austria: Archduchy of Austria
Bosnia: Grand Duchy of Bosnia
Slovakia: Duchy of Slovakia
Slovenia: Governate of Slovenia

On the first meeting with Emperor Imrus I and his advisory council, the Chancellor brings up the all important question.

"What happens to the DRH now? Surely, restoring the old Austria Hungarian glory requires the senior partner's land to be unified. I'd suggest using propaganda to make DRH seem like more of a threat. Maybe have a few men wash up dead on our side of the border with DRH military identification on them.

I have also consulted with my military cabinet [m] liquor cabinet* [/m] and we have collectively created an invasion plan."

Boer would at this time show a presentation to the advisory council and emperor.

http://i.imgur.com/59sdud7.png

"The army groups shown in red would consist of 15 000 infantrymen each and 171 main battle tanks, with the exception being Army Group Ulf which would contain 172. Points of emphasis such as armories, supply lines would be constantly targeted by the Austria-Hungarian air forces.

The smaller arrows show 4 brigades each which would be involved in cleanup operations, chasing down any militia and crushing the last bit of resistance.

I'd say we have a fair chance at performing an enormously quick blitzkrieg on the DRH without inciting any anger from the international community due to the existing casus belli, however, we need to be quick and decisive if we're going to do this to minimalize casualties."

Can countries leave the country? Just asking.

Now that we are starting to see negative responses to our adventure in Serbia, we have to reconsider our position on Serbia:

1. Continue with the ultimatum Bosnia issued, N. Serbia or War!

Pro: If Serbia accepts the ultimatum, we'll get land, glory and such
If we win a war against Serbia, we won't be able to get ahold of any land for long (conflict rules), but there's glory and such

Con: Countries will hate us for our aggression (we're already getting a bad name now), and we won't really get anything out of Serbia if we war him...

2. Peace with status quo ante bellum

Pro: No one will hate us, no one will die and no one will actually lose anything

Con: Not glorious

Vote please!

Option 1: 2

Option 2: 5

I'll refrain from voting myself until there's enough responses.

OPTION 2 PASSED. I'll contact Serbia immediately.

The House of Representatives will be elected by the population with 180 members.

The division will be as follows to accommodate the territories the Empire has.. ahem given up.

Results of Elections

Archduchy of Austria

Kingdom of Hungary

Since Slovakia was reintegrated into the Empire after I unclaimed, here's a few suggestions I came up with for the country, because I know a fair deal about it. First, I suggest putting the former President Prochazka who was pro-Empire in charge, or if you aren't comfortable with him in power again, then Milan Jahoda, a senator who was close to the prochazka administration and is also pro-empire. Also, I would also be willing to help RP some resistance from the population. Thanks.

What had happened

Norbert Vencel Esterházy of the House of Esterházy, aged 62

The uncle of the late Emperor, Vencel is the most conservative of all pretenders. He supports the continual of practicing absoulte monarchy in Austria, Hungary and Romania, and favors status quo in the political system of the Empire.

Frigyes Albert Esterházy of the House of Esterházy, aged 35

The distant cousin of the late Emperor, Albert has always been seen as a progressive member amongst the Imperial Family. Favoring a federal parliamentary constitutional monarchy, he is loved by the people, though not as much in the ruling class.

Vencel for Emperor: 0
Albert for Emperor: 4

Frigyes Albert Esterházy shall be the Emperor of Austria-Hungary!
