Spoiler:

Fluff;
Hours later, The Emperor leaves the interrogation room, out of breath. "You were right, Advisor, they're useless to us. Execute them and the two guards in there - he escaped and bit them. No questions, just do it." And with that he returns to the Palace.

DM only:

Actions;
- The state of Marshal Law is revoked, but military presence is still required in public places.
- Quarantine is lifted, and trade starts again.

[Harmony Ltd.]

Events :

- An un-publicized meeting is held between government officials of The Republic, members of The Academy, and high-ranking officers of The Republic's armed and police forces. Few are aware of this reunion outside of the higher circles of the government, and its content is only labeled as "office committee" on the participants' agenda.

Economic condition:
The economy has recovered from the paranoia as trade resumes and it's chalked up to a report of three unknown intruders being caught by police forces, however with their deaths and executions it is brushed under the rug as a closed serial killer case.

Action:
Phoenixia reopens it's borders, however it keeps the prison reform it passed as it helped reduce the number of inmates.  Also the undercover military police force reduces a fair chunk of it's operations, however keeps a modest amount as while it didn't catch any of the suspects it did help catch a large number of criminals in city slums. We also reassure the populace by issuing the statement by saying that the mp missions aren't everywhere and that they are on duty in high crime areas to catch criminals, what we don't tell them is that the current number of undercover missions isn't even close to the number of missions during the crisis.

Also Phoenixia uses the telegraph combined with the steam engine to not only ship trade faster, but uses the telegraph to communicate with our colonies.

Events :

- After a few years of research sped by the discovery of Zebra Alchemy, a way to cheaply produce steel is found by a team of the Academy, working on funds given by private entrepreneurs. The Republic discover the Bessemer Process.

Actions :

- The Republic offer to the nascent Steel Industry the same attention it offered to the Textile Industry, by offering credit at low rates.

Events :

- The private industry from The Republic now require Coal and Iron. As The Republic doesn't seem to be interested in exploiting the mineral resources of its expanding territories at this time, private entrepreneurs are turning their eyes beyond its borders, seeking to import foreign resources. => The price of steel in the Republic is now lower, with steel produced in larger quantities than previously, but the price is still high and quantities still relatively limited.

[Okay I'll allow it. It's been a while since I've listed a technological advancement and I was going to do that one anyhow]
Also technological advancement:
The sewing machine[the sewing machine came about before the bessemer process]

Economic condition:
The new steel is stronger than most metals used. As a result economic boom.


Actions:
Phoenixia immediately offers the republic trade their coal and iron for the new steel. Also Phoenixia expands mining into their two colonies since their homeland has been mined to the point the cost of materials mined is not worth it anymore in a effort to prevent a potential recession.

[Harmony Ltd.]

Trade & Diplomacy :

- The Republic accept to re-export to Phoenixia half the Steel produced through the raw materials (Iron, Coal) exported to The Republic, free of additional charges (excluding the cost of transportation, at the charge of Phoenixia), if The Republic is allowed to keep the other half of the steel produced to fuel its own economic expansion.

-Deal, also we send a envoy to personally sign it and believe that this new trade will benefit The Republic and Phoenixia. The envoy partially consists of business ponies to convince them to further of the potential profit gains they may receive from the new trade and to convince to invest further in the trade.

[Harmony Ltd.]

Trade & Diplomacy :

- The Republic propose to Phoenixia to trade food for more mineral resources (copper, silver, gold, etc...)

Agreed, but only a stable amount to so that neither of us go hungry or that prices accidentally spike.

Events :

- With the greater availability of steel, new steam-boilers can now operate at higher pressures and temperature than previous generations, and can be more efficient than previously per unit of mass.
- The greater availability of steel render possible the creation of railroads able to support a greater weight without breaking than the previous iron railroads.
- Following the two previous point, steam locomotives start being produced in The Republic. They currently run on a mix of normal Wood and Alchemically Treated Wood.
- There is economical pressure to find a more economical and less labor-intensive way to produce Alchemically Treated Wood or fuel of similar properties.


Action :

- The Republic create a state-owned company tasked to create and operate railroads linking the major cities and settlements of The Republic together.

[Harmony Ltd.]

Actions :

- The Republic sends explorers to C1 and C2. Mission focus : map territories resources.
- The Republic tries to strengthen its ties with the local governments of E4, F4 and G4, with the intention of signing economic and defense treaties.

[rolls]

Spoiler:

=> E4, F4 and G4 are successfully influenced toward a closer economic and military cooperation with The Republic

[Harmony Ltd.]

before I forget...

Trade & Diplomacy :

- The Republic wishes to open an Embassy in Phoenixia's Capital.


[going off for the night]

[We should let Scyto make a turn before proceeding cause it's been a while and let Scyto make a couple actions to make up for how we're kind of getting ahead]

[Harmony Ltd.]

[yeah, I made a number of "turns" without waiting for him, it's true. I suggest he tries to insert his turns between mines, if he want to]

[Scyto Harmony]

- R'Shalok begins colonizing E5.
- The Republic exchange is called off due to 'Internal Affairs' and the Republican's are sent home.

[cb5]

[I'll just make one more turn for the night]
Action:
Realizing the importance of the new steam locomotive Phoenixia shows off a proof of concept trackless steam carriage to the world and the companies begin to trade portions of their ownership internationally.  While it will be several decades until this machine becomes possible to be actually used[bit of history, there was investment when cars were first made to make a steam car, but it never went anywhere cause if the cooling pipes were damaged it would explode and kill everyone inside thus cars won't come about in the game until the internal combustion engine], it does give the world a look into the future and a chance for massive returns on individuals who buy a part of the mass transportation company.

[Also Plasticcube wants to join, what areas does everyone control so plastic doesn't accidentally chose somewhere already occupied. Let him make a country and such.
Plastic the technological level right now is around the 1850's, we just added in the railroad]

[Harmony Ltd.]

[I'm disclosing my next move, but I'll the other accomplish their actual "turn" before activating what I say below : their turns will happen between the surprise attack and what I say here]

Actions :

- The Republic invoke the defense agreements signed with G4 to move an important contingent of Navy and Army elements in the territory, justifying its action as an intervention against pirate forces infesting the territory.

[I don't think there's much for R'Shalok to do right now. Cb, you should probably add a Grid image showing which spots are taken, it's hard to keep track of what is and isn't open.]

[cb5]

[Oh. Yeah this is kind of getting hard to keep track of. I have to go somewhere in a little bit, but i'll make a grid. If everyone will list their country's land.

Right now Phoenixia controls D4, D3, and C4.

Also whatever happened to scienza?]
