Here it is, Part 15. I would like to know what you all think about the reforms, as I think they will be much more debatable than the peace terms... --- The great Vienna Imperial Reform Conference kicked off in the summer of 1743, with the Electors and other power-players of the Empire...

I have the UK edition of Leviathan, and hope to get the UK edition of behemoth too so that the covers match. I hope I wont have to wait much longer.

Filiberto comes across as some kind of opportunist with ulterior motives. I mean, its OK when hes singing and dancing, but then he tries to get support in more serious magazines, and then runs for election? I smell a royalist plot! :D

Ah, well keep tuned for all the reforms, complete with nice colourful diagram showing exactly who voted for what! ;) Youre right, I didnt know about this. Well, Im just as clueless as you all, what do you suggest should happen? Wikipedia, or the English one at least, doesnt give any reasons...

About the whole Union Jack debate, it really is quite an ingenious piece of work. I did draw up a Great Britain, Netherlands, and Ireland Flag but after lots of thinking and what I thought was clever reasoning it turned out rather similar to the OTL Jack because of the white and blue in the...

Part 14. I am also happy to announce that I will return to the format of two posts per week, as now the posts get more detailed and action is spread out over more of them. --- When Frederick had had his due rest, his wife conveniently gave birth, not to one child but to twins. The twins...

Isnt the Trojan War 20% history and 80% myth? I mean, Im sure theres a bit of historical background, but the whole Illiad thing is definately a legend. We are talking about that war here, right?

I thought that if Rogers reforms would extend to his Levant possessions, both Southern Italy and the Outremer would become one state, so therefore remain as one chunk inherited by Roger III. Or am I mistaken?

I think he could possibly consolidate both Southern Italy and the Outremer, depending on when he does it. But my question is whether he could include all these territories into his great reforms and create a stable long term state that can establish the Levant as a stable christian base for...

So, lets say Roger manages to pocket Jerusalem as well as Antioch, giving him also overlordship of Tripoli. He might go off to the Crusader states to consolidate his power there, and then probably include his Outremer conquests in his great reforms and centralising laws, forming one big state in...

Very interesting, very interesting indeed. So Italy plays neutral and cordial to both sides, gaining concessions from both sides too, and also this Moses affair also seems...interesting, in the Chinese sense. I wonder when Italy actually will join the war...

They would probably annex Constantinople and environs, but set it up as a de facto puppet state. As for the Balkans and Armenia, might Russia, after having completed its reforms, go forth to incorporate them all and (though they would need Croatia, Slovenia, Bohemia and Slovakia) unite all the...
