Banana Wars: The Confederate Standard Fruit Company and the US United Fruit Company are competing for control of Central America, as the struggle over who shall continue the Monroe Doctrine endures. So far this struggle remained to be fought through diplomatic channels.

Conflicts: Labor unrest, revolutionary Italian anarchists
Notes: All Americans still remember the loss of nearly half it's territory to the Confederacy, of how the White House has been burned down twice, once by the British (in the War of 1812), and then by the Confederates (during the Civil War). When the Civil War had began, the British were quick to support the Confederacy during the Trent Affair. Soon President Lincoln was forced to recognize Confederate independence after Washington, D.C. was besieged and a US invasion was beaten back from Canada. After such a defeat, Lincoln became the first president to resign. Finally realizing the difficulties of the capital's location, the US constructed a new capital in southern Minnesota, and the US shall never forget these defeats.

Notes: After supporting William Walker against Costa Rica in order to build the Nicaraguan canal, Britain later mettled in America once again, supporting the Confederacy in the War of Southern Independence. The US navy retreated into ports in the face of destruction by British fleets, allowing the Confederates to import weaponry which allowed them to attack and capture Washington, D.C. in a decisive battle with their well supplied armies. By 1889, gold is discovered in Russian Alaska, and so Britain presses her claims on the Alaskan panhandle. The resulting war resulted in the conquest of Alaska and the humiliating destruction of the Russian fleet. The world is now virtually ruled from London. British influence is everywhere, despite having made a few enemies. But will it last?

Credit Income: +19
Notes: Without British support, the Confederacy may not have been able to be successfully secede from the United States. Within months, the Confederates captured Washington D.C. and scattered the Union army. With such disasterous defeats, President Lincoln resigned office and accepted Confederate independence. The new Confederate capitol, Jefferson City, was built in southern Texas. Decades later, the Confederacy is controlled by the entrenched aristocracy, the elections being no more then shams, politicans being chosen through the local political machines. Rule in much of the nation is maintained by a section of the Home Guard, serving as the secret police force. However political protests have led to reforms regarding the humane treatment of slaves, but some reformers still want nothing less then total emancipation. And the feudal economy continues to stagnate industrial development.

Since then, the Heavenly Kingdom has now rebuilt itself from the brutal civil war, but warlords, leading the remenants of the Qing armies, still remain independent from Nanjing. Will the Heavenly Kingdom reunite China? Or fall to colonial subjugation?

78 credits remaining
Starting in 1915 the goal of the game is to accomplish your aims, whatever they may be. You PM your orders to the moderator, based on spending credits in your stats. You can go into debt.
If stats change, and there isn't a news item about it, assume that the world press doesn't know about what happened, or doesn't care. Every several years however, economies of nations will naturally grow.
RL diplomatic alliances do not exist in this game. You make your own.
If you declare war on a nation, you must announce it in the thread. Declaring war for no reason is obviously unpopular. Nations with revanchist sentiments may declare a revenge war (possibly) without popularity dropping. Nations with a war frenzy level of rabid may declare war with impunity. Nations who guarantee the independence of a nation that has been attacked will have their war frenzy level increased.
In order to fight a war, you must deploy units to a front (ie: German-Russian Front).
Military unit maintenance costs are based on available manpower and manpower used. Nations which use a large portion of their available manpower. During wars, manpower is often killed in action, reducing available manpower and increasing maintenance costs. As your nation tires of war, you may also face revolts. Finally, wars between major powers are rarely fought for total conquest.
Whenever there is a war, air superiority is decided first. Whoever gains aerial superiority will receive a bonus in combat. Other bonuses/maluses will be decided ad-hoc based on factors such as trade and etc.
Air units can only conduct operations in either a neighboring nation or the nation they are deployed into, to a reasonable degree. Air units based in Kabul can't obviously bomb Moscow.
Popularity Levels (so you know where you stand) (from lowest to highest): Hated, Very Low, Low, Mediocre, Moderate, Slightly High, Somewhat High, High, Undeniable Trust, God Worship.
War Frenzy Levels (from lowest to highest): Isolationism, Low, Moderate, Somewhat High, High, Rabid

Starting in 1915 the goal of the game is to accomplish your aims, whatever they may be. You PM your orders to the moderator, based on spending credits in your stats. You can go into debt.
If stats change, and there isn't a news item about it, assume that the world press doesn't know about what happened, or doesn't care. Every several years however, economies of nations will naturally grow.
RL diplomatic alliances do not exist in this game. You make your own.
If you declare war on a nation, you must announce it in the thread. Declaring war for no reason is obviously unpopular. Nations with revanchist sentiments may declare a revenge war (possibly) without popularity dropping. Nations with a war frenzy level of rabid may declare war with impunity. Nations who guarantee the independence of a nation that has been attacked will have their war frenzy level increased.
In order to fight a war, you must deploy units to a front (ie: German-Russian Front).
Military unit maintenance costs are based on available manpower and manpower used. Nations which use a large portion of their available manpower. During wars, manpower is often killed in action, reducing available manpower and increasing maintenance costs. As your nation tires of war, you may also face revolts. Finally, wars between major powers are rarely fought for total conquest.
Whenever there is a war, air superiority is decided first. Whoever gains aerial superiority will receive a bonus in combat. Other bonuses/maluses will be decided ad-hoc based on factors such as trade and etc.
Air units can only conduct operations in either a neighboring nation or the nation they are deployed into, to a reasonable degree. Air units based in Kabul can't obviously bomb Moscow.
