I had it cleared with Duck for Kzechverin to be the major supplier in Europe.

Yes, but what with the Pokolgödör mine, Eisenkreis-Kzechverin has all the Blue Coal they could possibly need, and enough to export. The mine goes pretty deep, and thusly is why they are able to access a cache of the mineral equal to that of the Asian region. So, go ahead and keep Indonesia =P I don't want any colonies anyways xD

@Alfhedil

Just to confirm the situation...I have the entire US and all of it's blue coal and I have been told I can manage to match the output of a small Asian country, such as Vietnam or Burma...how do you have so much that you can match Asia when we have been told that Asia dominates this market. It makes no sense to me??? Unless you have been told otherwise :L

EDIT: Also why is everyone talking of war already, lets try and be diplomatic and like real countries here. War is expensive, time consuming and no good for anyone, so it is never a first choice :L

Terra Incognita ( Fantasy Colonial RP )

Jack had been up since before dawn. His men had awoken him when they made their changing of the guard and he had spent the early hours cleaning the muck from his armour and arms before doing his rounds of the defences again. This was his normal morning routine however he did end up getting court at one of the small camps near the watchtower. Whilst a Red Coat hadn't spotted the creature, the local militiamen had informed the company of his sighting almost immediately. Though Jack hadn't heard about it until being woken. It was strange news and would need investigation at some point, however nothing had seemed to come out at them and nobody had been even close to harmed so Jack was satisfied for now, though he would request that the amount of land cleared around the outside of the colony be at least made a quarter bigger. The workload would increase but safety would be improved, plus it would add a large amount of raw lumber to the dwindling stocks of the colony.

As the sun finally started to rise Jack was already waiting at the Circle. His men were stationed around the outside and the daunting form of the soldiers made their protection seem like a blessing as well as a jail sentence. As the bell rang and the colony awoke from their slumber Jack smiled roughly at anybody he passed him a glance. He respected most of them, having left a world they know to one they didn't. However his smiles all faded as he spotted the 'explorer' again. God did he despise that man. But he was on parade and as such kept his gaze and his words to himself. The envoy was a different matter. A pompous prick, if you asked Jack, however the prick also had some wealthy friends in his homeland and a small fortune was being paid into the Red Coats to pay special attention to his highness. Though they were also told not to tell him that. Hopefully the message would be over soon, Jack thought, a new boat was coming in a few weeks and he wanted to have an up to date report and request ready for it's arrival. Which meant scouring through finance and next of kin forms as well.

Name: The United States of America

Territories: The US states, with the last remnants of the Confederation holding certain strongholds and states. However they are already in talks of peace. Also Alaska is yet to be purchased and Hawaii has not joined as a state yet.

Government: A Constitutional Democracy.

Important Characters:
President, Abraham Lincoln
Vice-President, Andrew Johnson
Secretary of State, George Mathews
Secretary of the Treasury, Martin Goldman
Secretary of Defense Charles, Bronto
Attorney General, Jackson Sullam
Secretary if the Interior, Tristan Marks
Secretary of Agriculture, Lucas Phillips
Secretary of Commerce, Mark Anscombe
General of the United States Armed Forces, Ulysses S. Grant
Second General of the United States Armed Forces, William T. Sherman.

Economy: The USA is currently in a period of great transition. Whilst the North is heavily industrialized, with a great number of factories and a big source of cheap labour from immigrants from Ireland and other countries, the South is still quite agrarian and so is still vastly grassland and open fields. Despite this split America still has a great deal of economic power, though the economy is currently set for helping the final stages of the war effort. Whilst deposits of Blue Coal are not as prominent as in Asia, America is so large that they have enough to match the output of many of the smaller Asian nations. Though if the country were to fully industrialise it would need a stable trade partner. Right now the country is fairly isolationist and so exports are down, hopefully that will change with the conclusion of the Civil War. Alongside industry America has large plantations and fields that produce huge amounts of agrarian produce that is exported around the world, with perhaps China being the only other nation that can match this.

Military: The US can field a large army that is rapidly modernising as the great deal of industrialisation allows for the rapid production of arms and armaments. In regards to advanced war machines the US has been stunted in recent years. A split on several key issues has meant that they aren't at the forefront at research and development, with other interests getting in the way, however they are more than able of retaking the mantle of leading power again.

History: The US has always been a powerful nation, since its creation in 1776 the US has grown into an economic and military powerhouse as well as an icon of democracy and freedom. Expansion into the west of the continent as well as wars with Mexico allowed for the acquisition of vast swathes of land as well as a lot of room for population growth. In response to this the administration has spent many years industrialising the open space and expanding cities. With the discovery of Blue Coal these efforts were doubled, as well as this great endeavours were taken to connect the country via railway. However during this expansion the ‘independence fever’ seemed to hit other colonies. With Australia’s declaration of independence in the early 19th century the US was one of the first countries to support them. Boat loads of mass produced weapons, goods and resources were shipped across the Pacific for the Australian people. After Britain finally relinquished their control of the large colony America was, to put it in laymen terms, rolling in the cash. However alongside this time of prosperity there was also an underlying dark side to the US.

The issue of slavery was a hot topic and whilst in certain States it was illegal, in many more it was still legal and the ownership of man was discussed almost daily by every party in congress. In response to this a state of emergency was declared, and using this emergency America’s system of government was changed, to better allow full control of the country. The new system, in basic, was as follows. Each state has a Local Commissary that organises public spending and local disputes within its state. This Commissary is made up of ten elected officials that come to power ever 4 years, any man can be part of the Commissary for as long as they get re-elected. At the same time each state also elects two representatives from the existing Commissary to be representatives at the National Congress, any man can, again, be part of the National Congress for as long as they get re-elected. The Congress is the body that passes bills and deals with the allocation of state funds. Finally every five years a President and Vice-President is elected. A President has complete control over the country and can veto any decision that the Congress makes, however many try not to. The President, under council of the VP, then hand picks a cabinet who have total control over the different departments and arms of the government. Each state also lost the right to determine its own certain laws, creating a much more centralized government.

These changes to the constitution were met with outrage all across the country. Many felt this infringed on their rights that the country was based on. However, whilst the North swallowed this large and sour pill the South was not so easily rolled over. After much discord and unrest the CSA rose up. Just over half the country fought for its right to the old ways, especially their right to own slaves. After a hard fought war America is finally coming to peace again, though the war has halted the great steps it had taken pre-war. With this war, however, people have seen and accepted the boons of a centralized government and so with the conclusion of the Civil war it will be a mission to convince the rest of the US that this is the way forward.
