Europa Omega

You tell Joe that.

The new province of Russtica is now created. 

Belgium and Luxembourg agree to the meeting and are listening to hear your suggestions.

You spent one hutspot on it, and figure out that Neptune is really just the Roman name for Poseidon, and that they're both gods of the sea.


The winery costs 2 tons of your Better Wine.

You're able to finish off Nuclear power with about 3 tons of your better wine. This increases effectiveness by 1 ton.

You recieve word that Finland wants to establish diplomatic relations with you.



((Whoops))

You build two more factories.


As your first underwater city is introduced, Hiva, many people are starting to turn their attention to Easter Island. It appears everyone is starting to pay a lot more attention to what you're doing. The installation takes about 5 Umu.

Soon after Finland wants to establish diplomatic relations with you.

The team you have created heads for Hawaii, but a boat from the United States stops you from entering and asks what you're planning to do.

Considering You're spending 55 Umu's on this Temple, this temple becomes a great place of spectacle around the world. It rivals the Palace of Versaille in its grandeur. Tourists actually come mostly to see it.


It's hard to improve much other than their efficiency. It's more efficient, and may be able to support more people.


The Animal Style Burger becomes more popular worldwide. America seems pleased.

You send offers to both newly independent countries.

You haven't actually got 10 new and Improved Finnballs, but you've got 8 new and Improved Finnballs, which are worth 2x as much as a regular Lihapullat. These new and improved finnballs, plus 2 regular finnballs, are able to give you the 10 you need. The improvements in hydropower allow for cleaner and more efficent production of the new finnballs, increasing production by 1.

The exact numbers aren't exactly clear on how many nukes are being created, but it seems like Brazil is currently attempting to militarize their borders.


You are now the leader of Greece. You start out with 10 tons of Gyros. You can spend these on really anything you can think of: Military, Scientific Advances, anything. You can make a significant advance with 10 of your resource.


Because all of it is getting shipped, you have to send all of your Lunar Potatoes over there to help. Thankfully you can get them over there on the same turn because the moon is closer.

The system is a little rough, but it works. Marcus seems appreciative.

Despite this, something looms over the horizon. One cosmonaut who chose to investigate said he could have sworn he heard something before he lost sight of it.




You, after clearing up some misconceptions with Danny, conclude with the offer still being there, although no agreement has been made.

While it seems to have been slightly effective, it doesn't seem as effective as it was with Austria and Switzerland. That's odd, and some plot may be going on that you're unaware of.

The Vaduz Cathedral of Joe costs around 10 Ribel, and is generally grand and allows for a great hub for people to meet and pray to you. You feel your powers increase.

---

I can only assume you want to create factories. Factories create resources every turn. I just want to make sure this is what you want to do.

God-Emperor Golderino of Finland

Economy:
Zzz... nothing happens here, yet.

Diplomacy:

Send IMA invitations to Austria (schnitzel) and Hungary (goulash and other delicious foods).


Technology:

Invest my 4 remaining regular Finnballs and 6 of the Improved Finnballs into researching missile defense systems. In other words, let's develop the ability to shoot down those damned nukes... this is for our sake first, just to be safe, but if it goes well, we'll start supplying others too.

Intelligence:


Instruct the Supo to get in contact with the intelligence agencies of Brazil's neighbors. Offer to stay in contact and exchange information, and affirm our support for them. Prioritize Argentina (probably the most powerful not-Brazil) as well as Colombia (also powerful, previously threatened by aggression.)

Military:

Two Finnballs into free ski training for any adults who want to take them. Anything we can do to keep those numbers filling up. Also instruct the ~2000 we have currently to form into two Battalions and start performing real exercises in the mountains. May as well train, you never know when ski infantry might be useful! 

Danny, Grand-Master of the Netherlands.

I order the construction of a nuclear powerplant in Russtica, using the plans the Russians have given us.

At the meeting with Belgium and Luxembourg I make to remember the names and faces of all the politicians that seem like they can't be convinced to accept the alliance.

I let Joe know I'll gladly accept his offer of having a hutspot factory in Liechtenstein

God-King of Tasmania

First, establish diplomatic communications with Finland, starting with sending a bottle of the better wine in return for what I presume was an ikea meatball.

Second, spend some wine building yet another winery>

Thirdly, spend a small amount of wine, if possible, researching nuclear fusion.

God-Emperor Joe of Liechtenstein:
> Focus my spies on uncovering what sort of plot is going on behind the scenes in Germany.

> Also try to drum up political unrest in Germany based on its leaders strange actions lately.

> Confirm with Danny that he accepts my part of the deal to build a Church of the Netherlands in exchange for his factory. If he agrees then the deal is sealed and we can begin construction.

> Also build such Churches in Austria and Switzerland.

Your build your first factory at no cost, and it produces 2 tons of Gyros on its first turn. Any additional ones after this will cost 4 tons of your resource.


I forgot to tell you that last turn the cost of research was lowered by a quarter the last turn. Apologies on my part.

Austria seems almost a little too excited to join. Something seems a little off. Hungary seems normal when it joins.

The new Missile system is created. It may not be as advanced as America's since it appears they've thrown their entire stockpile into it, yours seems efficient enough to keep some nukes at bay.

While Argentina and Columbia are willing to offer what little information they have, Venezuela approaches you more directly as they feel directly threatened.

The free skii training does help advertise the Skii infantry, and more people start joining. The battalions are mostly practicing how to actually battle while on Skii's, as that's honestly a little difficult.

Also, Easter Island has accepted your request. You two are now free to converse. Similarly, Tasmania has also accepted your request, and you get a bottle of wine from one of their Wineries.

You are now free to do some diplomatic conversation with Finland's leader.

The Boat lets your team through after briefly checking their passports.

Make-Make stops you from sacrificing as he says that your additions to his temple already have satisfied him. He says that the stones are ancient and powerful, but are scattered across the world. You'll need to cross borders into all sorts of countries to find them. He'll be able to help, but he warns that there are powerful entities that you will have to deal with on your own.

It appears some people, despite being pleased with the industry, still want the Island to not be completely overrun by factories.

You hear back from your treasure-hunting team. They have both some good news and some bad news. The bad news is that they didn't find any gemstones in the rainforest so far, but the good news is that they have found something unusual in the rainforest.

They say they found a large froglike creature sitting at what appears to be a merchant's stand, with various recipes and sauces on display. He said his name was "Jacob". They said he seemed to be trying to sell them some, but they wanted to get confirmation of what you would like to do about Jacob.

You build 3 new yam farms on the two new islands and the underwater city. These each produce 2 each, enough to support themselves. You're able to improve Yam farming techniques so it produces an extra ton per turn, which you can sell with no problems. Every turn you produce 1 kilomoney from selling these yams.

The creation of the new Nuclear Powerplant costs you 5 Hutspot and increases production by 1 ton.

The ones that seem reluctant to accept the alliance are the ones that haven't paid off, or that are questioning why this alliance seemed to suddenly happen.

You let Joe know that.


Unfortunately, there isn't much stuff you can make improvised weapons out of on Mars. Through the Vodka they make an improvised series of spears, axes, and what weapons were brought with them. One guy thought to actually bring a Gun. They called him foolish, but now they're thanking him.

You do! With 5 supervodka, you are able to create a new sort of tech with which you can make a weirdly large amount of space in a small area through space-time warping. 

You also receive word that several American Shuttles have been approaching and leaving the moon, suggesting a Moon base is there.

You also gain 6 Martian Vodka. At the end of the turn you have 5.6 Supervodka, 6 Martian Vodka, 2 Kotlets, and 5 tons of leftover bread.


Your gift is sent. Or is it a trade? Anyway, you're able to communicate together.

You build another winery. Look at all this wine, you produce another two tons on the first turn it's open.

For 3 of your better wine you found a facility to research Nuclear Fusion and other such things. This'll make it generally more efficent to research this sort of thing in the future.


With your 10 tons you are able to form a defensive police force that uses a new and improved Kung Fu fighting style. This will surely protect them from any ragtag hooligans.


After researching some of the recent behaviours, you notice that a sort of counter mind control agent is in the foods made in Germany. It appears that the German President is working against you.

People already seem slightly uneasy about the President's actions, but you're able to turn that up to concern about his generally reclusive lifestyle.

The deal is agreed upon. Now both of you have to uphold your sides of the bargain.

You begin construction upon some churches in Austria and Switzerland for 5 Ribel a pop. They're less grand, but they get the job done.


After setting some penguins to the task, paying them in fish, they discover a new and interesting way to improve on fish: Cook them! Cooked fish will most likely be twice as effective and more digestible. This research costs 1 ton of fish because the Penguins were a little greedy.

Danny, Grand-Master of the Netherlands.

I send a list with the names of half the naysayers as well as some less influential Dutch politicians and a few Belgium and Luxembourg ones who actually agreed to the alliance to international assassins and tell them that while I don't care if the murders look like an accident or not I don't want them anyone to be able to trace them to me.

I then spend 2 tons on the Church requested by Joe

God-Emperor Joe of Liechtenstein:

> Construct the hutspot factory as per the agreement with Danny.

> Invest in research to try to get past Germany's counter mind control agent.

> Have my spies look into finding out how much information the German government has about what I'm doing.

> Send a few spies to investigate the castle in the sea where the Italian-American man has taken up residence. Play it safe as to not get caught.

God-king of Tasmania

First, attempt to build yet another winery. Let the wine flow.

Second, attempt to get a counter-espionage team going to protect the future secrets of working nuclear fusion, if we ever get there.

Third, attempt to find a country that will trade wine for popcorn in order to give me something to eat while watching someone approach the sea castle.

Great Leader of China:

Spend up to 10 tons of Peking Duck on investigating power sources available. Everything from coal and nuclear to hydro and geothermal is to be studied. Any left over Peking Duck to be spent on exploiting those power sources.
The People shall have Electricity.

The Great Leader has looked across the borders of China and wishes to graciously share 4 tons of Peking Duck along with some Super-Rice and Super-Pancakes with Mongolia, North/South Korea and Japan.

You generally improve the quality of all your conventional weapons. A team of properly boozed up scientists have come up with a working prototype for a new kind of bomb utilizing this space-time warping technology, which basically means they stuff as much stuff into a tiny area as possible and drop it somewhere, breaking the system and releasing all the materials.

Your support allows for a generally better trained Russian military. The kotlets spent improve production efficiency, allowing for an additional 1 ton being produced every turn.

Your bread is donated to various homeless shelters and such.

You receive word from your men on Mars that "Curiosity appears to be approaching the base" and that "everyone is starting to get a little worried".


Most of the nay-sayers have been assassinated. The assassins charge you 2 hutspot for it. While nobody is tracing it back to you, most people agree that a lot of politicians suddenly dropping like flies is a little suspicious. Thankfully as your meetings have been mostly covert nobody really suspects you.

You build the church as requested. It's generally humbler than the ones that Joe seems to be building for himself, but it's a decent church.


Jacob chuckles and says "You mean those artifacts? I presume you found one, well they're pretty tricky to get and they're not gonna be cheap either. As far as I'm aware, some of them were thrown into space a long time ago. I doubt any of them are here, though. Eh, but you want some BBQ Sauce? It'll improve your efficiency a bit depending on how well it fits with your resource.". As far as you can tell he's being truthful.

The factories are made smaller and more efficient within the small spaces so they produce the same amount of stuff. This frees up a lot of space previously occupied by the Factories.

After researching the combat Magic, you are able to assemble a small force of individuals who are currently training in this magic. They'll probably be useful later on.


You construct a Hutspot Factory per your agreement.

The counter mind control agent is difficult to get around, as both pieces are extremely experimental tech. The main solution that your researchers have been able to come up with is ""Make a more powerful mind control agent", although that's a little harder to do. They're currently working on it with a funding of about 5 Hutspot, and may have it finished by the end of the next turn.

While you have no direct spies in government, you can discern that they know that you are attempting to mind control the German population, and the President may have told them about the meeting in which you puppeted Austria and Switzerland.

As your spies enter the castle and quickly leave it to prevent from being caught, they find out some information on the Italian-American man who is now living there. His name appears to be Mario Rodriguez, and was born in Brooklyn, New York in 1962. He appears to have mysteriously dissappeared around the early 80's, with nobody having heard from him in decades until now.


As you set down a team to start looking for good places to start mining and generally find some interesting shit in the rainforests, you hear back from them pretty soon.

They say that they've found an odd temple with a strange looking artifact inside it
