King and Country - Gameplay Thread (Old)

[Continential]

-King Frederick, you have had quite a successful reign, but you are now old and it is unclear how much longer you will have. You have established an absolute monarchy in Denmark and abolished the old elective system. Your centralizing father, the great King Christian, would be proud. What domestic policies will you oversee in what many expect to be the last years of your reign?

We will do a free land in North America and Greenland which will attract peasants and farmers who will colonize Greenland and Newfoundland and will have 18-23 either settle in the New World or join the Military for 4 years.   

-In the realm of foreign policy, Sweden remains the main enemy. Their capture of Scania in the Second Northern War is still bitterly resented, and many Danes wish to reconquer the area. Rivalry over the Baltic trade also remains a point of great contention with the Swedes. Additionally, you assisted the Dutch against the English in their recent naval war, so perhaps there is a potential alliance in the making. What course will you follow in foreign policy?

We will send Diplomats to Prussia to form a alliance so if the Swedish declare the war or we declare war on Sweden, we can get Scania, and they can get Pomerania and can blockade the other side of the Baltic Sea.

-While still officially claimed by the Kingdom, Greenland is by now under the control of native tribes. The Old Norse settlements faded away centuries ago, and the island hasn’t been touched since Christian IV expeditions there in the early years of the century. Will you attempt to recolonize Greenland, or will you leave it to the natives?

We will attempt to recolonize Greenland and colonize Newfoundland and we will encourage some of our farmers to settle in Newfoundland in the New World.

-King Christian, you have just been crowned as the new King of Denmark-Norway. Now, you have a chance to continue your father’s work of centralizing the realm. Free land has meanwhile been offered by your realm in Greenland and Newfoundland, though the latter has failed to attract many settlers. In foreign policy, many still demand that Scania be retaken, but attempting to expand in this tension-laden period may not be wise. Others maintain that Denmark needs to play a larger role in international affairs, taking sides in the disputes over the disputes in Spain and the Empire. What policies will you pursue to inaugurate your new reign?

We will encourage fishermen to go to Newfoundland as there is an abundance of fish in Newfoundland and we will offer people if they go to Newfoundland, supplies to start farms or be a fisherman.

The Kingdom of Denmark-Norway will build 15 more ships and will send 2 ships to colonize the Gold Coast in Africa (It did happen in OTL https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Danish_Gold_Coast) and also encourage settlers in Newfoundland and Greenland, and the Gold Coast and will invest into the slave trade in Europe and North America.
