You undercut me. My RPs were obvious. It was not obvious that France was up for grabs. I'm just telling it like it is.

If you plan to RP Breizh greatly, then I have much less issue with the expansion, but we'll just have to see where this RP goes.

I have sent PMs to the both of you regarding the Brittany area but I'll make this public as well. Given that someone has request the area to start a new nation, their request takes precedence over your expansion requests and therefore I must deny them.

I'm interested to know who is making this nation. I have a few theories, but if any of them are correct, Europe is going to be much more exciting.

Peeps need to expand. If it wasn't for Leb's Hamburg state, I'd have asked to connect Denmark with the Low countries.

Oh, NRE, I have a request to take the rest of Belgium now that France is off the map.

Why do people need to expand? If people expand then there leaves no room for new players unless people are willing to give up space on the map. Ah Kas are you offering, how nice I'll remember that for future reference :lol: Oh but since we're on the subject, you're nation for your European lands is dead, please revive it ^^

Its back. Now can I have Belgium? :D

And I say we should expand because we will never fill up in Asia or South America or Africa. Only N. America and Europe have any danger of that happening at any given time.

I sent a PM on your request, and I can see you point but at the same time I must argue that it doesn't hurt to have a little wiggle room :P

Huescan military strategy is dependent on heavy fortification of the Pyrenees. Since the French state, and former ally, of Huesca is now defunct, the Huescan High Command would make moves to secure its defensive doctrine.

I would like permission by the mapkeeper to roleplay the expansion above. It is relatively minor, and done simply to ensure that the fortifications and underground complexes Huesca already has are not subject to a new foreign power on the border.

Not that I play anymore, but why was some of my western land randomly taken away?

A new member came and claimed that land, but they're gone now. In fact, I thought that territory was blanked out by now. NRE probably numbered it without looking at the Middle East numbers.

Okay, realizing that whoever was playing Iceland is probably out of the picture, and that we're back to the old system, I would claim it, but then again that seems for a logical place for Lans' eventual Vikings, and I wouldn't want to block new players from it.

That said, Gouvernment Provisoire de France is dead. If Alberto (I think) is unlikely to continue it, then I want to expand into Normandy, perhaps more. Maybe into Paris. I actually do have some legitimacy to it, since I have Cecile.

I recognize it's all at the mapmaker's discretion, of course. I'm in that civil war right now, so I couldn't expand till it was over anyways.

EDIT: Actually, TC's Morbihan is also dead. Everyone know I'd want Breizh (Brittany) more than the rest of what I just said.

Sigmund, Atticus' brother had Iceland.

Ireland has more a claim to Brittany than Normandy, and Paris isn't much further, so you could just try for an expanded Brittany.

Provincial France is the successor state of Tou's republican France. As the successor of republicanism, Porcu would most definitely protest against direct annexation of Paris and the surrounding territory.

What if it were run under a republican system? Cecile would no doubt have great say over what would happen. I don't think she'd lightly let her husband establish imperial rule in France. She'd probably demand socialism in France and hence some sort of legislature.

No doubt there would be a lot of bumping heads between them and others. Both republican and monarchist interests are at stake with Irish actions. Ireland is an odd combination of the two. William may establish imperial rule in Ireland, but not without great influence on the system by Cecile. Essentially, what will happen is less control by lords, more control by the High King, but the people will continue to have say in some form. I don't think I'll keep the parliament, at least not in the current form, but I might make local governments more socialist.

I'll follow developments in the background. You'll know if Stockholm doesn't approve of something.

The Kingdom of Sperry will support Irish expansion into Brittany, as long as certain mutual borders are agreed upon.

We also echo the Romans' sentiments. ( :P )

Venice is too monarchist and republican to take a side when it comes to matters with France. However, the Ireland is a close ally and they'd probably trust them enough to let it go by, as long as it's not for the sole reason of humiliating France.

As both French governments are allies of the British nation, as per the Triple Alliance, Liverpool would be very strongly opposed to any Irish expansion into either government's territory.

Plus, TC's on a one month hiatus ((http://s3.zetaboards.com/nationstates/topic/7350672/1/)), and should be back to RP.

Okay, understood. That being the case, it depends on if Alberto continues his French nation. There's no reason why he shouldn't, but I suppose it just depends on how long he's gone.
