[OOC] World in Revolution: 1861

Gee, thanks. Maybe I'll play Brittany

Occitania would be more divisive. As of 1860, about 40% of the French population was Occitan speaking. Another almost 10% at the same time spoke neither French nor Occitan natively (Basque, German, Breton, etc).

As of the beginning of the RP, only about half of the French population had the French language as their mother tongue.

Reason for WW1 = France did a sick burn !

That's it! Launch the fleet!!!! Wait, what...? Our fleet can't take any troops? What do you mean?? Oh? What? We'd lose horribly? Dang it. Excuse me while I go cry.

"When in the Course of human events it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation..."

Also...

"Any people, anywhere, being inclined and having the power, have the right to rise up and shake off the existing government, and form a new one that suits them better. This is a most valuable, a most sacred right, a right which we hope and believe is to liberate the world."
-- Abraham Lincoln, 1847

The Declaration of Independence has no legal precedence in the U.S. Constitution. Just FYI.

Nor did it have any precedence under British rule either, to the best of my knowledge...

You're right, Aegon. I am a tyrant. So feel free to just go ahead and stop me.

How much warscore to release Occitania?

@AegonVI and @Byrd Man; you guys are aware that you can conscript more soldiers, right? The ones enlisted last update were just the ones available for that year. I don't expect the both of you to keep fighting with such small armies.

That's why we fought a war over it.

The UK does not recognize the rebels down south as a sovereign nation. Good Luck. ;)

I thought we had to wait until the next update to get more people. Well, fuck it. Let's roll with it.

I'm excited for the mini update...

Dude then Union war machine is primed to tear threw the south. Maybe old Robie Lee has some magic to pull some victories out.

It might work out to follow the original timeline, since the draft act was passed in 1863. Suppose I can do that in the next batch of war orders.

By all means don't follow the original timeline

Dropping out of the roleplay, I was Japan

Busy with other RPS, not to mention not feeling the vibe of this one, sorry!
