Grosse Nachrichten

Earlier today Grosse Reich signed a treaty regarding a military alliance with the powerful nation of The Hole Empire of Verenberg.

Kaiser Konrad von Mannstein from Verenberg and Reichskanzler Wilhelm Liebknecht from Grosse Reich both were proud of the new alliance between the two countries.

"It's with both proud and a bit of relief that we signed this alliance earlier today. We're a very small nation compared to others, and together with a larger nation such as Verenberg our possibilities to defend ourselves quadruple many times. We're now looking forward to a new era for Grosse Reich." said Reichskanzler Wilhelm Liebknecht in a speech to the nation today.

Isn`t your government a bit small? I think you should add some more ministers or advisors. That would give your nation a lot more character.

Isn`t your government a bit small? I think you should add some more ministers or advisors. That would give your nation a lot more character.
OOC:

OK, that's a good idea (Cebumopolis and Zaheran). I've added the following ministers now:

Gesundheitsminister (Health): Ottfried Hennig
Justizminister (Justice): Ludwig-Holger Pfahls
Umweltminister (Environment): Agnes Hürland-Büning
Familieminister (Family affairs): Rupert Scholz
Inneresminister (Internal affairs): Günter Ermisch
Handwerkminister (Trade): Rudolf Scharping
Industrieminister (Industry): Kurt Schumacher
Tourismminister: Erich Ollenhauer
Minister für besondere Aufgaben (Special tasks): Johann Baptist von Schweitzer

And I think I need help from someone with the structure of my military. I'm not good at that... All I know by now is that I'm having 2% of the population enlisted in the military forces (140,000 atm). But I don't have a clue of what they are, or what they are having for kind of equipment (planes, tanks, ships and that stuff). I want to have three arms (Army, Air force and Navy), and the Air Force should be prioritized to start with. The navy should only defend the coastline, no bluewaternavy. And think of RL Germany for a basic layout of the geography.

(I also added some economical information to the fact book.)

Well, one german-style thing thats suits the Air Force is zeppelins(airships).
And theres probably lots of cool german-style aircraft.

Grosse Nachrichten

Thanks to the alliance with The Holy Empire of Verenberg Grosse Reich now has another ally!

Leon Krell, Warmarshal of the Protectorate of Lyras, said to Friedbert Pflüger, Auswärtigesminister in Grosse Reich, that Any ally of the Kaiser of Verenberg is an ally of ours..

We have not been able to get in touch with Reichskanzler Wilhelm Liebknecht for a comment yet, but a source at Das Auswärtige Amt has confirmed the alliance.

OOC: Doesn't anyone have a suggestion regarding a new region for Grosse Reich? (See post # 4)

Grosse Nachrichten

We're proud to announce the third foreign embassy in Berlin Stadt: The Protectorate of Lyras has opened up their embassy on Auslandstrasse.

As a side note we can tell you that Reichskanzler Wilhelm Liebknecht is in negotiations with The New Prussian Empire (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=525256) about Grosse Reich's application for membership in the alliance. Further details are unknown at the moment.

OOC: I've updated the post about the Defense.

If it looks totally weird, please let me know (I'm no pro in this area).

Grosse Nachrichten

Today Reichskanzler Wilhelm Liebknecht confirmed that Grosse Reich now is a part of the alliance The New Prussian Empire. NPE is but a military alliance also an economic alliance.

This will probably boost the economy in Grosse Reich, and the budget for the defense will increase with at least 25%.

Some laws in Grosse Reich have been changed to reflect the standard in NPE. I.e. are communist parties now banned, and the Reichsheer (as well as the other arms) are now allowed to operate in foreign countries without a state of war is declared upon that country.

To reflect the change in the politics regarding defense and foreign affairs the NPE-sign was added to the flag of Grosse Reich.
