I've been looking through the boards and have come up with some information regarding the USA's relations with some of the player nations. If any of you have more to add, please do so. BTW, just who does control the Marianas? I know I have Guam, but who owns the rest now? I've seen posts that indicate that the US also owns Puerto Rico, but I'm not certain.

United Kingdom: Generally friendly, but tempered by anti-imperialist sentiments in US.

Atlantis: Positive relationship, trade relations good, common distrust of Iberia

Denmark: Friendly Neutral

France: Friendly Neutral

Russia: Friendly Neutral

Germany: Neutral, though many Americans fell prey to U-boats during WW1. Still, there is a strong belief that Versailles was too harsh and the other European powers had a role to play in causing the war.

Greece: Very Positive,

Nordmark: Friendly Neutral

Iberia: Neutral to mildly hostile. No active hostility, but “we’re not sending them Christmas Cards either!” Leftover baggage from the war of 1898 and Iberia’s holdings in “Our Hemisphere”.

South Africa: Friendly

India: Good, both anti-colonial though SATSUMA is a concern since it means India could become an enemy in a war with Japan.

Japan: Unfriendly but not openly hostile. Concern over SATSUMA and Japanese expansionism towards East Indies. They probably have concern over our fortification of Wake Island. The Immigration Act of 1924 is a major sore point, combined with racial hostility in the Western US and Hawaii towards Japanese and Asians.


Philippines: Neutral, but growing more concerned since SATSUMA and possibility of expansionism.

I would beleive the Chileans would have a nuetral to friendly relationship with the United States as Chile was the least "anti-european" of the South American nations, and an independant nation within the Western Hemisphere. Chile, while friendly to most European nations, would probably still be a little wary or short with Iberia, and that could be at least an issue of common ground with the United States. Chile has made it clear that their new armored cruiser designs are designed with El Cid in mind.

Also the Chileans in wesworld are more involved in trade at sea and the concept of "free trade" which the United States holds in high reguard.

Seems reasonable to me.

You'll also need to figure out positions on Italy and the Netherlands.

Since when is trying to win a Mexican cruiser contract expansionism? *whistling innocently*

Our Foreign Minister beating up on your ambassador didn't help either, I'm sure.


Puerto Rico is still Iberian (along with Cuba, Hispanola, and all of Central America).


As for the Marianas...Guam is American, and I believe the rest all belongs to Walter's Japan. ^_^

Actually I nicked Guam since the US was originally a non player nation. Since the US is now a player nation, I will correct that (unless you have other thoughts).

Japan: Unfriendly but not openly hostile.

Well, what do you expect when a nation forces another nation to open their ports for trade at gunpoint? Japan was an isolated nation until Commodore Perry came with his black ships in 1853-1854.

Hmmm...I guess you could keep Guam. Saves me the cost of developing it as a base.

One wonders how the Phillipines manages to maintain diplomatic relations even with its own allies with incidents like that going on.

It's heavy competition for the world-famous Moscow Circus.

Japan and India have tough ambassadors.
