Welcome to 1914. In Europe, great powers compete; in East Asia, the Beiyang government is collapsing, and Japan, victorious in the Russo-Japanese War, is expanding its influence. In the Americas, the emerging power of the United States grows through massive industrialization. German Empire Spirit of Prussia Leader: Wilhelm II The German Empire was founded in 1871. For the past 40 years, we have developed our nation, increased our military strength, and built a colonial empire. However, tension hangs over Europe, and conflict with Russia deepens by the day. Austro-Hungarian Empire Indivisible and Inseparable Leader: Franz Joseph I Austria-Hungary is a massive empire ruling over Austria, Hungary, Czechia, Slovakia, Galicia, Lodomeria, Transylvania, South Tyrol, Istria, Croatia, and Bosnia. However, the poison of nationalism is seeping in. French Third Republic Liberty, Equality, Fraternity Leader: Raymond Poincaré France has established a powerful state by occupying Africa. However, relations with Germany remain poor, and politics are more divided than in any other country. United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland God Save the King Leader: George V Britain is still winning the naval race against Germany, and the Empire remains strong. However, the Irish are fighting for independence, and His Majesty's health is failing. Russian Empire God is with us Leader: Nicholas II The situation in the Russian Empire is dire. The Duma seeks only its own interests, Bolshevik revolutionaries prepare for revolution, and our country is still in the early stages of industrialization. Kingdom of Italy Inflexible Military Leader: Victor Emmanuel III Italy is in a precarious position. It has been less than 100 years since unification, industrialization is late, there are few colonies, and the military is weak. It seems it will take much time for Italy to become strong. United States of America Home of the Brave Leader: Woodrow Wilson Tensions rise in Europe. The relationship between Austria and Serbia is spiraling toward the worst-case scenario. Perhaps we can use this to our advantage and grow. Empire of Japan Taisho Democracy Leader: Emperor Taisho Whatever happens in Europe is none of our concern. We only need to develop our own nation. However, due to the Anglo-Japanese Alliance, we may have to intervene. Beiyang Government of the Republic of China Corrupt Government Leader: Yuan Shikai China remains in chaos. Mongolia, Uriankhai, and Tibet are effectively independent, President Yuan Shikai is attempting to ascend the throne as Emperor, and the Kuomintang is planning a rebellion in the south.
