Starts [9/20] Rules: I. No surprise wars, this is an age of justification so use actual casus belli. Like Ethnic, Racial, Lingual, National, Religious (not gonna be as valid), ect. II. Each region has its own interests, and power balance so each region for example: Central Europe, will have a power balance between Prussia, and Austria. So while I will allow you to support sides, should there be a power struggle you are temporarily not able to do stuff in the region until the struggle is over, and essentially if there is a conflict over influence I won't let you intervene. III. The white is areas able to be colonized, so only local powers that have colonial capabilities can colonize the regions. IV. There will be a grace period before war called the "Escalation" when I or @joeremastered give the go ahead for it to end, and for war to begin. V. While I will advice against unorganized colonialism, you are allowed to colonize anywhere you can go in terms of naval range. VI. For colonialism, should your colonies become too big, me or @joeremastered will notify you that you need to organize a puppet or suffer some minor repercussions, and this can lead to severe consequences if ignored. VII. For after conquest you must provide a treaty that is signed by both parties, should the other party never sign, the hosts will say they capitulate should there be no chance of victory. VIII. Regarding revolutionary characters, and parties, you are allowed to do so, but the country you play in is allowed to suppress you, and may or may not execute, or just do away with your character/party all together. IX. To put whatever debate may arise for struggles the hosts can determine themselves whether or not the struggle should be over, we will allow the following: TOTAL VICTORY - Either side unites the given areas in the struggle. STALEMATE - For an example historically Italy was unable to get Tyrol, so we will allow a half done job as long as you unite most of the states. X. I will allow revolution, but the country you are revolting in will cause a slow break up as the revolution progresses.
