What German duchess? I am speaking about an empress that could take a stand against an European alliance that aimed to prevent her from taking over the throne (and waged a war to do so) as all those worthless treaties determined.

After she succeeded in getting her rights through, she proved to be one of the most progressive rulers Europe had back then in those days.



A woman that manages to rule an empire, and get more than a dozen childrens in the meanwhile needs quite some strength I guess.

Well I only sought to imply that Austria is just a duchy of Germany (which it is) lol.

I see you are getting serious though, talking about Maria Theresa of Austria, and I'm not going to actually diminish that person in jest. I just stick to more general insults and inflammatory remarks.

I thought that our own DuBois was playing? I still have little doubt that we will soon fill that last role.

How are we determining who runs what country? Are we going to draw lots?

WEB said he "doesn't have time" which we all know is a lie! We can play with 6 if we need to. We'll just eliminate Italy or Austria.

To determine teams I will post a list of countries and numbers randomly on the internet somewhere (somewhere that has a date and time), then have you all pick a number, then after everyone has chosen I'll give you the link to show you the list. That prevents me from favoring anyone.

How about we'll give everyone 24 hours from now and if no one else is interested we'll begin with 6 players. If so, we'll make Austria and Italy interchangeable so whoever picks that number can choose if they want Austria or Italy.

OK AWESOME. Here is the lineup then:

The Players:
1. USViking
2. Caltex
3. Slartibartfas
4. Billybones468
5. Troianii
6. africanhope
7. iTaliAN_ICe


NEXT. Each Player needs to send me a PM picking a number between 0 and 1000.

I have randomly re-ordered and listed the countries and posted them somewhere on the internet. We'll take the numbers you pick and order them from highest to lowest and this will determine the country you get.
