Horo the Wise Wolf

Lucas would smile and incline his head towards her as they shook hands. "I am Lucas von Seel, and it too is a pleasure to meet you. It's always nice to talk to some of our more level-headed neighbours, especially given the seeming lack of them these days."

He nodded. "T'was a fine trip, and it seems to have been well-capped off now that I am in this most fantastic of palaces. It truly is a Palace of Kings!"

Private Preußische Marine Thanks to the ever-growing hostilities and tensions in both Europe and the world itself, and the major expansion of Prussian coastline, it was in the year of 2014 that King Wilhelm von Hohenzollern, mighty be his tale, commissioned and sought for a major upgrade to the realm's Navy. In a sense, the creation of just that. Whilst land was favoured in the past, rightfully so, times had changed and it was now necessary to make a concerted effort towards controlling the realm's future at sea too. And thus, it was put down for the creation and the later refinement of the Prussian Navy, a force that would dominate the seas like their land counterparts of yore (and today). What one person referred to as a "frigging awesome plan", the basic lay out was to be twenty-two Eiszapfen-class Frigates, allowing for a flexible force capable of adapting and performing well in any and all circumstances. This also gave room for any kind of later expansion to the force, as further sculpting would be easy.

Schëre coughed slightly when she realised that the threat of an economy treaty was quite real. With it becoming the normal for such things to be tossed around like candy, with zero regard for the actual economic effects of such an agreement, one would have to be wary of such an agreement. Russia, however, could actually provide and be provided for, and there could actually be benefit to such a treaty. "A trade agreement would be a good boost and complement to all of our nations, I do believe. What stipulations specifically would you see being enforced?", she asked.

"Iceland's claim to Denmark are laughable at best, and flagrantly aggressive at worst. We implore them to find a more reasonable path of action rather than attempting to posture on some non-existent claim." - King Wilhelm von Hohenzollern

A most favourable reply would be returned, offering for either a British Representative to come to Prussia and the meeting to be held in Abbot's Palace, or for a Prussian representative to go to Britain.

Schëre bit her lip as she mused to herself. Economic treaties had become something of a norm for friends to sign, whether or not the economic impacts would be good for them. Something of an oversight by the decision makers, most likely, whom needed to be fired. "What kind of goods can the nations of the Eastern Bloc provide? We ourselves largely export metals, cars, machinery... Whilst we import foods, oil/gas, the sorts. Similarly, what would you say the Purchasing Power Parity of your currencies are, compared to our Thaler?" (OOC: Just got with 1 Thaler = 1 GBP)

Meihua'a fans celebrating their first victory on the world stage Classified After the poor possession figures from the first game, the team's coach, Shui Su, has opted to change the team's playing style. Rather than playing the "hit it hard and pray" style, the team will now play a high pressure formation and style, designed to ensure there is always a player hunting down an opponent if they have the ball (and aren't a defender with acres of space). Then, when on the ball, they will play with sharp passes and slowly move up the field as a whole. However, strikers will be told to take the opportunities they can and split defences in two alongside a well-placed through ball.

How do you define a copy and paste job?

Get rid of nukes and give everyone more stuff to build their army with.

Please could you mark the yellow land that's striped red (Mecklenburg-Verpommern, West Pomerania, Greater Poland, and Lubusz), plus Silesia, Lower Silesia, Opole and Kuyavia-Pomerania? Thanks.

The chaos in Mecklenburg-Verpommern slowly came to a halt as the populace got used to driving on the correct side of the road. Hailing the change as "genius" and an "increase to quality of life we sure won't forget!", Prussian Governance was quick to show how great it was. Potential car-related chaos in West Pomerania was minimised thanks to the extra preparations that had been sent alongside the change to driving on the correct side of the road. Teething problems were few, and cars were many.

Teething problems were few, and cars were many. With news of the amazing new Highway Code implemented in the new provinces, the people of Lower Silesia began to approach their integration with almost a childlike glee, rather than concern. Car accidents were many as people began to jump the gun and started to drive on the wrong (but actually right) side of the road, causing chaos province-wide.

Sent to Sverige would be Duke Lucas von Seel, who would take a nondescript Governement Jet to Sverige, before engaging with his Swedish counterparts. OOC: Let's get straight to the meeting, unless you have something to do first :P

"A change is as good as a rest" - Moon Tzu

The populace in Mecklenburg-Verpommern settled in well to the Prussian Governance, but with one glaring issue - because Prussia had a different Highway Code from what the drivers there were used to (most notably, driving on the left), not only were their many car accidents but also a general confusion, as activities there quickly slid to a halt. Now part of Prussia, the troops in West Pomerania to be replaced by the local police forces and constabularies. They marched in their cool formations as they were waved off by the populace as thanks for their efforts to liberate them. Additionally, traffic police and roadside accident facilities were sent in large numbers.

Additionally, traffic police and roadside accident facilities were sent in large numbers. Lower Silesia has entered the stages of its final integration into the Prussian state, with citizens now able to receive Prussian passports and other such rights given to Prussian citizens. The populace of both Lower Silesia and Prussia are treating the former as a full Prussian province now, and it has been, for all intents and purposes, fully integrated.

Pressure Groups push for anti-extraction legislation Citing the Accelerator claims towards Green policies, pressure groups have begun pushing for legislation to limit oil and gas extraction in the nation. Stating that "the availability of oil and gas is a disincentive towards seeking greener power generation", their demands come in the form of limiting the amount that can be extracted in a yearly basis. The Prime Minister, however, strongly rebuked the claims and made it clear that he would not implement such legislation. Saying that such a move would "merely increase the cost of business rather than incentivise green energy", he also alluded to possible subsidies aimed at helping businesses pay for their own energy solutions.

"T'is a shame to have seen Sparta fall. Alas, our time is taken with organising the recently liberated lands we have acquired, and cementing our position in Europe. Given that there seems to be at least one crisis ongoing at a time, vigilance is a must."

Somewhat sated by the journey, the Prince arrived in the Palace of Kings ready to get stuck in with Carthage.

I'll do it in the Community-Approved™ manner next time. Having a change to how annexation works halfway through actually doing was somewhat jarring. I probably should've been a bit more clear on why I was doing it like this - the total population I'm integrating comes to approximately 17.4m people, meaning that it would only been three posts per "region" to annex. To that extent, I have three different two-liners. I just decided to specify each province for a sense of completeness.

Not Public After extensive testing of the security and throughput provided by *Delphi, the following changes have been put into place:All systems designed to receive connections and data have their actual systems centre abstracted, in favour of smaller, distributed systems that were the first checkpoint for incoming data. Not only would these systems be able to service some requests independently (albeit a small amount), but they would provide an extra level of security and balance traffic for the main systems themselves.The extra security provided would largely be in the form of identifying, and thereby only processing, data from trusted sources, to mitigate potential cyber-warfare against the system. Mitigation would largely be provided with Bogon filtering and MAC limiting; Further security would be provided in an independent, offensive suite that would be tasked with targeting and attacking hostile systems believed to be attempting to interfere with Meihua'a systems. Civilian and public parts of Meihua'a internet infrastructure would receive similar upgrades, though with the exclusion of MAC limiting and offensive capabilities.

"You mean to tell me that not a single French Official will speak on this matter, considering its apparent great import to them? If anything, this shows a severe lack of Governance that only gives more reasons for them not to rule the land."

Thanks to the growth in Prussian coastline, Naval supremacy was becoming an active issue and planning area in the Prussian Military (and soon to be Navy). With steps laid down for future ships, alongside expenditure planning, preparations were underway.

West Pomerania is nearing the completion of its integration, following an agreement made between them and Prussian Officials. They were given the same offer as the one self-governing Polish provinces (ten years of autonomy followed by a referendum), but with the added stipulation that they could also hold a referendum after five years to determine their satisfaction with Prussian governance, and re-meet with Officials to determine a new status quo.

"If France wishes for this land to come back to them, then they should act upon it rather than having other European states act as their lackeys. We commend Cisalpina for their initiative in this situation and their actual dedication to treating the once citizens of Snow Haven well."
