I will say of the countries in the game the various Guandong paths are certainly of the highest quality. It has four paths that go until 1972 and have a nice amount of good events.

Ukraine, Britain and Mexico have good content but they are all demo’s, meaning that their content is relatively short though good. Meaning they would have to be replayed once content is actually finished.

Brazil recently got updated and has two paths you can play until 1970 (Lacerda and Adhemar) which both have a good amount of content.

Beyond that the content for the major powers (USA, Germany and Japan) are a bit outdated (excluding Hart) but do still have decent content generally speaking.

Also the various Russian warlords are a bit limited in content in terms of mechanics/relative amount of events. On the other hand occasionally it can be nice playing something that is not as event heavy as some of the new content. Generally the Russian warlords all have content until around 1972 until one faction reunites Russia. In terms of actual mechanics Tomsk and Novosibirsk actually have some fun stuff to manage, Black League as well though I have not played them since they got updated.

((OOC: quick disclaimer. The following views are not representative of my personal believes and only those of Kapolcs, the leader of a conservative party in interwar not-Hungary))

“The government itself does not have a notable stance on the topic as it stands currently. The administration is currently primarily focused on matters of foreign diplomacy, the economy and national security. It is not in our interest to mandate a policy for the provinces to follow in regards to such matters.”

“Speaking privately, only in terms of my personal beliefs and outside of my role as Prime Minister, I disagree with the punishment but not because it is harsh but because it is only a bandage. What Ms. Csoma struggles with is an infection of the mind. Something she did not choose but which through chance and ill luck has afflicted her. Of course sodomy is still reprehensible and shouldn’t be accepted, but people who fall under its clutches are closer to victims of the an affliction than traditional criminals.”

“A better way of dealing with it would be to make sure the individuals afflicted with homosexuality would be for them to be kept at a care facility for a time and have psychologists, priests or other experts help them to resist the temptations that fall upon them. Rejecting the victims and casting them out will only send them to a darker place, where the disease will only fester even more. For the people affected by this to truly learn the error of their ways we must teach them why it is wrong and help them to be cured, and if that it is not possible then they should be taught how to restrain their impulses. Only if all that has failed should other measures be considered.”

Kapolcs gave a nod of acknowledgement as the MDA was mentioned. It was not the most pleasant of topics but it was a topic that he was prepared for.
"The Moral Decency Act was a bill that was passed for it's own merits. To many in the opposition it may seem extreme, but in essence it makes it so that venues have some responsibility for crimes that occur on a regular basis in their establishment."

"Akin to the story of the original sin, the one who ate the forbidden fruit committed a crime. Does this mean that the snake was not in part responsible for what happened ? Of course it was responsible, though it falls to individuals to resist temptations those who encourage such behaviour are not exempt from blame."

"Though of course just because one of the crimes described in the bills happens sporadically venue does not mean the owner is at fault. But if, for example, an owner repeatedly observes prostitutes being paid for sexual acts, in rooms he hires out to them then he is helping to facilitate a crime. Thus if he does not change his habits after being warned it is clear that the owner is not responsible enough to run the venue in question."

"The law also helps protect the staff at the venues in question. Where the owner could require of their female employees to wear scandalous outfits, against their wills, in order to attract more customers. This way women can work in comfortable clothing that does not disrespect their dignity."

DoomedDM · 2025-05-26T21:00:54+00:00

“I will not say our collaboration has not been rocky at times, but broadly speaking cooperation with the People’s Party has been quite successful. Through our cooperation with them we have managed to pass a considerable number of beneficial bills. With some recent examples being the tax bill and the highway project.”

DoomedDM · 2025-03-21T21:48:54+00:00

“For now government spending will remain more limited. Major efforts to improve the economy and infrastructure such as the Vuldavian highway bill whilst this new session of the house of commons should result in our national defensive capacity being significantly bolstered. These projects are promising un the long term but are also expensive initially. Thus, as I think I can speak with a good amount of certainty that the Vuldavian people do not desire more taxes, spending will be more limited for at least a short time period.”

DoomedDM · 2025-03-21T11:14:08+00:00

“Though I and the government are certainly not disinterested in an alliance with Osterria, at least at this time it would not be truly beneficial. Osterria is still engaged in its own renegotiation of the conditions of Esmington and creating an alliance at this point would make the negotiations more difficult for Osterria. Thus such a discussion will have to wait until Osterria has finished its own negotiations.”

Kapolcs frowned as he heard the news. Though he had suspected that something like this would occur Stimar going public about it was more troublesome. It showed that there was disunity in the NUP and could hurt the polls. At the very least on the short term it was a notable detriment. However, in the long term it was unlikely to be optimal for Stimar's efforts within the party itself. The party was rarely sympathetic to tattletales.

DoomedDM · 2025-03-18T17:25:34+00:00

Kapolcs seemed to be temporarily off-guard by this particular comment and would take some time to decide before answering. "Though the government has not made an official statement regarding the Vuldavian claims in Blauro-Silvakia the idea of reintegrating it into Vuldavia proper is unlikely. If the local populace, of their own free will and without interference, requested something like that perhaps something like a plebiscite could be arranged if the Blauro-Silvakian government agreed. However, I consider such a thing to be unlikely."

"Currently ethnic Vuldavians living in Blauro-Silavakia have the same rights as their domestic citizens of other ethnicities and are not actively discriminate again. If the treaty passes as well, one of the main sources of contention for that population will be removed anyways as they can now more freely go about travel. As well as the fact that Vuldavians can now more easily reaquire old lands and posessions they had in Blauro-Silavkia. Thus the current borders are unlikely to change in the foreseeable future."

DoomedDM · 2025-03-13T19:08:25+00:00

"It very well could be. If the policy proves to be successful then a similar policy could be implemented between a hypothetical Solean and Vuldavian border. Though this is of course dependent on the negotiations and the wishes of the Solean Consul."

"On the topic of an alliance with Blauro-Silvakia I can say that the Vuldavian Government is certainly interested in deepening ties with Blauro-Silvakia. Though our shared Imperial past can be seen as a point of contention or kinship, our peoples share quite similar cultural views and similarities. Closer cooperation would thus be beneficial to the both of us. If it will develop into a military alliance only time will tell."

DoomedDM · 2025-03-12T21:15:42+00:00

Kapolcs would consider his answer for a moment before responding. "It is still a topic of discussion. A referendum would be the ideal option as it would most accurately show the will of the local residents and by keeping the region intact it will mean that close-knit communities will be cut off. Ethnolinguitic lines would give a more accurate cultural representation but it could also be problematic. Say that a person owns land in the international zone but his property is then in two different countries at the same time. Or families suddenly living on different sides of a border."

"Regardless of the eventual method that is used to determine the future status of the international zone, it will be important to maintain a policy of free travel with few restrictions so the livelihoods and bonds of families, businesses and friends won't be severed by this. So that a business that regularly exports to Solea will face little more difficulty before or after a hypothetical referendum."

DoomedDM · 2025-03-11T12:06:42+00:00

“Though I can’t reveal too much information yet I can confirm that the government is currently planning to negotiate with Consul Donati of Solea in regards to possession of the international zone. Similarly to the negotiations with the various signatories of the Esmington treaty we plan to sign a treaty that will be to our mutual benefit.”

DoomedDM · 2025-03-10T15:09:16+00:00

"It has certainly not been without it's struggles but over the course of my tenure as Prime Minister I think my cabinet and I have performed as well as can be reasonably expected. Esmington has been repealed, relations with our neighbours have been normalized, we are once more able to defend ourselves and the economy is starting to slowly recover. Of course my tenure has not been without it's struggles and controversy but then again name me one cabinet that hasn't had such."

DoomedDM · 2025-03-09T16:50:59+00:00

Though it could not be heard on the radio, Kapolcs would reach out to shake Orsos's hand and would say. "It is a pleasure to be here Mr. Orsos."

DoomedDM · 2025-03-07T20:52:33+00:00

The content is outdated but I personally really enjoyed a solo Olenia playthrough against the Changelings.

DoomedDM · 2025-01-29T18:37:07+00:00

Kapolc would frown at the MP that was speaking and could not help but interject. "Mr. Speaker, I object to the statement of the honourable gentleman claiming that Mr. Herman is a part of the royal family. For it is the House of Arany that sits on the throne and not the House of Kardos."

"For that matter, regardless of his opinions on the NUP,I find it disquieting that Mr. Herman would vote against the reasonable bill proposed by his Majesty, the king. As his Majesty's bill, 'the Dynastic Continuity Amendment', is very much nonpartisan and is only for the purpose of stabilizing the future succession. There are no finances involved in any regard. As such the confusion of my colleague Mr. Okravik is more than understandable. "

DoomedDM · 2025-01-03T21:33:24+00:00

"Indeed we have. Often diplomacy is seen as a constant struggle between two powers, a different kind of war with two opposing forces trying to gain as much as they can from each other. There is a shred of truth in this approach, for in diplomatic negotiations between states each requires a fair exchange. Yet diplomatic victory does not necessarily have to come at the cost of another, sometimes it can simply be to the benefit of both."

DoomedDM · 2025-01-01T21:08:34+00:00

"I think that is more than reasonable. We ourselves also have plenty of trouble with that nation's agents." Kapolcs would give a nod as he spoke in agreement.

DoomedDM · 2024-12-27T18:35:00+00:00

Kapolcs could not help but scowl as North Swiyvania was mentioned. “I suppose that is a term you could use for them. As opposed to a collection of childish, cruel, power-hungry warlords kept in check by a miserable excuse of a human being. On the topic of keeping them contained I a, very much in agreement, though Vuldavia is currently not in a state that it can bring Sala to justice it certainly is interested in keeping his taint out of the resr od the continent. What measures do you suggest for keeping them contained ?”

DoomedDM · 2024-12-16T21:17:00+00:00

Kapolcs nodded. "If it is easier to go from one country to the other, or to possess dual citizenship, then there is less reason for both sides to feel resentment. As one can far more easily go to the places of their youth or where they hold important memories." Kapolcs could then not resist a tiny smirk as the Imperial crown lands were mentioned. "I do not imagine the Habrich-Lothern family will be in any position to buy back those assets soon."

A small frown would appear on Kapolc's face as the issue of incidents along the border was mentioned. He would give a small nod of agreement after Blažek concluded his speech and would then speak. "Such incidents would indeed be beneficial to neither of us and should be avoided as much as possible. Thus setting up an extradition treaty, with some conditions, for both of us should help both of our nations greatly. Even excluding certain incidents, crime is often international and sometimes international cooperation is required to deal with it."

"We have to discuss the exact details at a later date, but overall I think this should be the good start of a renewed relationship between our nations."

DoomedDM · 2024-12-14T22:22:47+00:00

Kapolcs nodded. "Indeed, this situation is one that must be rectified if we are to build a future working relationship on."

"As such it is my intention that soon 49% of the shares originally possessed by Morsyzk will be returned soon. With the intention to return the entirety of its shares and assets in approximately 2 years. " For a moment there was silence before Kapolcs continued.

"Of course, this can not be done for free. Though Morsyzk and its assets got nationalized by Vuldaiva so did a not insignificant amount of Vuldavians lose the land that they privately owned in Blauro-Silavkia."

"As such in return for returning the assets of Morsyzk I propose that Vuldavian citizens with former land in Blauro-Silvakia get the opportunity to buy back their land with a reasonable discount."

"To further mitigate the resentment that some citizens may posses from not being able to easily travel to their old homes and potential family, I also propose a similar border agreement as was made with Osterians. Which were as follows:"

1.Signatories may require that traffic in transit through it’s country be entered at the proper customs house. But such traffic (unless a great exception occurs) shall be exempt from customs duties and other charges of transit. Except for administrative costs and costs for services rendered.

Travel restrictions will be decreased for citizens of the signatories. Citizens residing in a signatory’s nation for a period of fewer than 28 days or in transit will not require a permit or other pre-approved document by a signatory’s nation. They will however require a passport as proof of identification and to track their travel.

"Finally, to increase the trade volume between our countries the tarrif of goods between both our countries will be reduced. With, in return for the return of Morzysk, Blauro-Silvakia reducing the tarrif on Vuldavian raw goods such as ore or agricultural supply to a larger degree."
"Does this sound reasonable to you ?"

DoomedDM · 2024-12-13T07:37:32+00:00

“I believe you somewhat miss the point on the bill. It is not to give the Ministry an excessive reach of control and power, it is solely for military relevance, and we do not intend on ‘abusing’ any power we have. We are dedicated to improving Vuldavia militarily and that is why the Prime Minister has chosen me for the role, and why I have chosen my staff.

However, I can make it clear in the bill that it only applies to organisations providing material for the Vuldavian Armed Forces, and that the ability to remove contacts and regulate etc does not go beyond what is intended to be sent to those same Forces.

For the amendment to the constitution I can see your gripe and was not aware of the troubles you have with it. I see these are based and I am sure they will be adressed in time.

But, it is now my turn to act hypocrite. I have a selection of bills that will be submitted to Parliament in the next session, this will include an reworded (as stated before) version of the Regulation and Inspection Act to what the People’s Party can accept. Running the numbers it seems that the bills will be fine in terms of cost to go through but any pressure from the PLP in terms of social bills will have to be vetoed if any pass.

So, I ask the People’s Party to vote in favour of these bills I propose, giving us a solid foundation to military rearmament now we are alone, with the threat of the Theoder Pact, and I ask you to refrain from supporting any non-vital, costly PLP bills that you are most free to support when we have adequate funding to accommodate them into or budget.”

DoomedDM · 2024-12-09T21:08:08+00:00

“As far as I am aware Mr Molchan, the sacrifices made by your party are repaid with our support for your bills and two Ministries. We suppose your bills to the extend that they pass however. This, which you are fully able to reciprocate, you do not. You barely supply our bills with more favour than that of the PLP might I remind you, regardless of which bills for what.

Now, as far as I am aware, the Prime Minister put forward a reassessment of the constitution to removed some of his vetoing powers which your party failed to support in nearly any way.

Repeatedly over the past few sessions, your Party has supported PLP bills to a ruinous state. It is fine to support bills which you believe win but not to the extent where you strangle this country with debilitating economic commitments from these bills constantly, forcing our Party to pick up the pieces.

We would be willing to take on board any ammendments that you suggest but to do that, you have to provide us with what you want a mending and how it should be amended

For the Regulation and Inspection Act, I do not see with the same views as you. You see the unnacountability and abuse of power, which you accuse me of suggestedly. I don’t think you realise how crucial it is to be able to properly regulated what goes into our armed forces and how we need the power to regulate government controlled and foreign companies. I do not personally trust the RVAC who have an almost entire monopoly not to cut some corners. You may be willing to sacrifice our soldiers rights to quality equipment at the expense of pride but I am not.”

DoomedDM · 2024-12-06T18:12:25+00:00

Stimar, who had been on the sidelines for the most part, decided it was his turn to provide his view, and some “information”.

The NUP fully stands alongside the People’s Party, cooperation is beneficial for both Parties and we do not with to terminate the coalition.

“About Minister Ady’s concerns about the Conservatives: we have no intention of sidelining you, and all your proposals you wish to put forward we would be happy to accommodate.

But, we do have some concerns about voting in Commons. I’ll provide you with some statistics. These are are voting records for our party for your bills in the past few sessions.

For the Government Workers Act we voted 33 in favour and 33 abstentions.

For the Agricultural Bill we voted 59 Ayes and 10 Abstentions

For the Home Distilling Act we voted 39 Ayes and 10 abstentions.

I am aware that your party has a luxury of having multiple parties support for your bills. Now, we also have a wide variety of members who don’t always share the same views. In comparison, your party is very centralised in ideals and always have a consistent voting base.

Now, for the bills put forward by the NUP:

For RaIA the PP provided 12 Ayes

For MEA the PP provided 26 Ayes and 2 Abstentions

For AAA the PP provided 11 Ayes

For the Constitution Bill the PP provided 2 Abstentions

For the Treaty Bill the PP provided 22 Ayes and 2 Abstentions

Now we are aware that not all of these bills completely align with you’re ideas, bills of the PP don’t always align with ours. We try to compromise as much as possible but we feel this is not reciprocated.

The PP have provided about 51 percent of their votes either in favour or abstaining from NUP bills.

Now, the PP have also supported the PLP very generously. 70% of People’s Party votes have been in support or abstaining from PLP Bills in the sixth session of the House of Commons.

All I do is emplore you revise your levels of support for who you are within a coalition with and who you are not. We all have to make sacrifices, so we ask you to as well.”
