Hey Lachenburg, I'm glad to see you got your factbook up. Our main thread is down but we're hoping for it to be open by tonight. If it isn't I will open a second thread and I will telegram it to you. We've just begun RP and I'll give you your IP shortly. Once again, good to see you finished your factbook but in the future please try to be more active on the thread.

EDIT: You can't have railroad before the game starts, you build it during the game (you do however get one railway, roughly the same length as France's real life borders are wide), also, please include a portion on religions in your empire and note whether or not slavery is legal. Also your standing army can comprise only 1 to 2 % of your total pop. and your reserves can be from 1 - 5 %, the larger the percentage the more drain on your economy. If you make military service compulsory it can be 6-8% but this nearly cripples your finnaces.
