I did want Nationalist China, but it really depends. You did seem to lay claims to it first.IDK

I couldn't fight a crayfish...or tell you the fact that I do love eating shrimps...

May I suggest the factions Axis, Allied, Comintern (not meant to correspond to doctrines really) and non-aligned?

Countries may change factions, but not without a good reason; a sound defeat e.g. Italy in 1943, or being attacked, e.g. the USA in late 1941, etc.

I am not sure what these groups ought to be. But this would add realism and prevent chaos. Just an idea.

No factions, we can afford to not have these, just allow countries to make their own factions instead. As long as they don’t all combine into one huge one we will be fine.

Perhaps a neutral admin can oversee it.

Now that I think about it I’m probably overreacting… just as long as we don’t have one huge organized major power bloc we should be fine.

I will recreate the Iron Curtain over Europe.

Is @Zaktty even online? I don’t think he’s replied to this thread for a day.

You... YOU MONSTER!

Do you know how much I crave for shrimps?

Once I dreamed about eating those freshly juicy cooked shrimp covered in a little bit of soy sauce in my siesta...

I don't know if I ever tried crayfish before....

IF I REPLY ACCEPTED, THAT MEANS I ACCEPT YOUR APPLICATION< IT DOES NOT MEAN YOU ARE CONFIRMED AS THAT COUNTRY!

Could I get Nationalist China if that's ok?

Maybe Germany, for the memes. I just love steamrolling people

First of all: Thank you especially to @Zaktty for organising and inviting me to this!

I have to say I'm pretty interested in joining this, should be a lot of fun but I can't in next two weeks.

Since I assume the Soviet Union is taken, I should very much like to join as Nationalist China provided that roleplay rather than expediency-at-cost-of-realism competitivity is preferred.

As to suitability, I expect I could do a pretty convincing RP as the Guómíndǎng more so than Sweden. I feel it is far easier to act in-character with a country I am more familiar with the history of.

If this is impossible, I should like the Netherlands but it really depends. I can play either convincingly.

So yeah:

First choice: Nationalist China

Second choice: Netherlands

Third choice: Australia

Two questions though:

(1) Is this meant to be a reenactment of the Second World War, viz. everything happens to the most of our ability, as in the real timeline? or more of an alternate-history?

(2) If the latter, to what extent are we to remain in character or also to be realistic? Italy turning communist on Day Three for example. What is allowed in this regard?

1) No, it is not a WW2 re-enactment, it just starts exactly in 1939 as things at the time exactly were.

2) Changing ideology will be fine, but not as early as Day 3, I will likely decide different amounts of time for different countries, and there won't be fixed factions like in previous roleplays, it will be up to moderators whether they will force anyone onto a team, and that will only be done to stop the game becoming boring quickly.

no offense to Lord Crayfish, but crayfish is tastes really good. Unfortunately, it is not the season right now.

I would like to taste Crayfish one day if that's possible.

I’ll take Australia then. But how the heck am I supposed to fortify an entire coast.

@Zaktty Do we need to be historically accurate or we can just make our own stuff like the Cripps mission and Quit India movement?

Here's the current iteration of my "relations" chart (too big to make as table on the Forum) (feel free to criticise as it's not perfect; the aim is to be as accurate as possible

Notation of relations:

SHM - Shared map, ROW - Right of Way, TRD - Trade embargo, WAR - War. Peace by default.

Notes:

* - China and Tibet have Right of Way relations with several European powers through "treaty ports" or concessions which still applied in 1939. Except in the case of the Soviet Union (see Sino-Soviet Pact) these are unilateral. Similar case in Persia due to the Anglo-Persian Agreement.

† In case of bilateral relations of Poland with UK and France: Anglo-Polish agreement is only formally signed in March but cooperation and alliance negotiations were being made.

†† Although the Rome-Berlin-Tokyo Axis was ratified only in September 1940 a de facto alliance existed. Relations between Germany and both Romania and the Empire of Japan and were already strong since 1938 due to Ribbentrop's policies.

** In case of Tibet and Xinjiang, Chinese suzerainty applies

I think European axis and Japan would not have share map. They didn’t coordinate much, did not truly work together, and kept a lot secret from each other. If they have share map, then Poland and the Allies who actually planned somewhat for a German attack should have it too.

Resolution will be made: Empire of Japan and puppets (Manchukuo) will have ROW only with these powers at least in 1939. Good point.Poland would not have Shared Map with Britain yet if this begins in January, however they would by the end of Day One if it goes as in OT.

Carking the 6th wrote:

Another thing is that Persia should have ROW with the UK, right? As you mentioned the Anglo-Persian agreement, the UK had rights to much of Persian oil and had plenty of influence there, enough to make a combined invasion with the USSR pretty easy.

Thanks you, Persia not getting UK RoW is deliberate. Persia and the UK did not sign an equal treaty but a British hegemony in Persia. Britain had the right to survey and build railroads and invest in it. As you say pressure on Russia was another reason. This is more like the treaties between China and the western powers after the Boxer Rebellion.

Cant wait to reform the glorious USSR and turn it to its former glory- *ahem* i mean, make it more glorious, it has never once dipped in power or strength, always gone up!

Crayfish that that he would let her have it if she wanted, his choice then.

Damn we have to compete but Arta gets Japan with no resistance? RIP

Well… crayfish is not confirmed yet, as Kadeko would still want to contest it, and He said that he’d be willing to let Kadeko have it
