[Byrd Man]

<Snipped quote by Vilageidiotx>

PoW is on my list for things to write for next. Depending on how things go I'll probably get to starting a post when I take inventory of things that are happening.

@Dinh AaronMk

Yeah what he said.

[Special passing note I have been busy so don't get angry at me all at once]

[TheEvanCat]

I'm busy defending your ungrateful cunts' freedom.

Jk, I'm doing nothing. Really just trying to set my priorities straight. The moral of this story is that adulting sucks.

[Vilageidiotx]

i posted last so don't look at me

[Byrd Man]

I'm on Spring Break this week and I don't have any school work, nor do I have any other writing obligations outside of this site, so I will do my best to write and post something.

[Dinh AaronMk]

In my defense, I did write last night. Polished off a section, then did some confirmatory research on a thing and then had to proof that section to make sure it's all as it should be.

Hey, could I join this roleplay? I can see that you guys put hard work into this roleplay and it looks exciting (based on the first part of the lore summaries that I read).

Is the Netherlands available to play? I read that they haven't been disturbed, does that mean that they weren't in the Great War? And as for the colonies, did they lose all of them to the different revolution movements that took place after the Great War?

@The Spectre

Netherlands are an option.

However because they're undisturbed doesn't mean they haven't been party to the Great War. So they'd have been party to the war itself or the economic collapse that came after.

As per their empire, it's been pretty well lost. The Dutch colonies Asia side would have been forcefully dissolved by the Japanese in the post-war years.

@Dinh AaronMk

Alright, I take it that they were apart of the Allies during the Great War and suffered like the other nations. I will get together the sheet.

Is there anyone else that's active on here?

[Pepperm1nts]

There are a few active people. OOC isn't too active though, except every now and then when everyone is talkative.

[Dinh AaronMk]

Generally make posts here and someone's bound to pass by.

But not to many people active in Europe. There's Morden whose Britain and Googer as Spain, the leader in Europe. I don't know if any of them have anything going on RL, Googer I feel has an erratic schedule and Byrd only keeps in touch with Morden.

History of the Netherlands (1925-Present)
The Great War that brought terror and horror to the entire world had ended, but at what cost? Europe was devastated for the long war, the Netherlands was thankfully spared from the horrors of the trenches, of heavy bombardments, and tons of dead soldiers. That didn't mean that the war went by unnoticed. The Netherlands was faced with tons of issues that still affects the country to this very day.

At the start of the war, they made it clear that the country wanted to be remain neutral. The surrounding countries respected that wish; but as the war was getting worst, rumors began to surface that Britain planned to invade the country. To ensure that Britain or any other country invades, the Netherlands mobilized their army as two hundred thousand men marched to fortresses like the Waterlinie and the Defense Line of Amsterdam. The navy they started to patrol in the waters of the Dutch East Indies

The German Empire soon invaded Luxembourg and Belgium to invade Northern France. The German General Governorate of Belgium was established by the German Empire as about one million Belgians fled to the Netherlands. The government started on building small camps for refugees all over the Netherlands. Refuge relief was a major financial burden—costing 37 million Guilders.

Then, there were blockades all over the English Channel, the North Sea, and the Atlantic Ocean. As a trading nation, the Netherlands was hit the hardest with the blockades and trade restrictions. Rationing and Bread coupons were introduced after refugees came into the country from Belgium. The allied nations put heavy restrictions on the Netherlands, because they were still trading with the German Empire. They even tried to stop trading between the nations, but their attempts failed.

And their colonies (mainly the Dutch East Indies) were forced to close off trading with Europe and tried to trade in their own region instead. Shortages in the Netherlands rose as cotton, tobacco, tea and pepper were harder to get. Many colonists rose against the government as the war was taking too long to finish. The economy from both the colonies and the mainland suffered until the war ended. The 'Great War' lasted for a long time as it became more pointless.

When the war finally ended in 1925, many people didn't know what was going to happen to the world now. Britain hid from the world, Germany was fighting against their own revolution, France was in ruins, and the powerful Austria-Hungarian Empire fell apart. The Dutch government started trading with the nations, in hopes of putting the broken pieces of Europe back together. However, the East Indies among with the rest of the Dutch colonies had revolted against their ruler.

The East Indies were annexed by the Empire of Japan, crushing all in hopes of regaining control of the colony. Netherlands is in a better position than it was fifty years since the war ended, but they are still fixing their economy. With the war between Spain and the Pan-African Empire going on, the Dutch government is watching the simulation and planning for the future.

@TheEvanCat

Is it too late for Prospo to return?

\Googer I feel has an erratic schedule

@Dinh AaronMk

Some say that, on a summer night when the air is soft, you can hear the footsteps of Googer walking through the meadow whispering silently to himself, and not posting.

Is there anyone else that's active on here?

@The Spectre

They all come home to roost eventually. If they don't Aaron'll panic at some point and try to reboot the thing. Either way, welcome aboard.

[Dinh AaronMk]

Seeing as how the Dutch app is as of yet incomplete...

I'm sorry Vilage, but we're a MLP fan-fiction now.

[TheEvanCat]

To the new guy, our community has reached Pony-tier. It's big enough for at least one person to make MLP fanfiction about it, meaning that it's perfectly healthy and not going anywhere anytime soon.

I do like the Russian Mafiya horse-pony.

[Vilageidiotx]

Some of those ponies have faces that are less equine and more extraterrestrial.

@Vilageidiotx

Welcome to the world of cartoon horse, where sometimes they share physical qualities akin to cats and dogs, and some strange anthropomorphic qualities.
