Sultan of the Seas (An HPM Sulu AAR)
Previous part:
WE'RE IN THE MONEY NOW LADS
Aceh offers us an alliance, as a fellow Malay sultanate. We accept, confident that they will eventually realise they have no real reason to be independent and that they will eventually choose to join the greater Malaysian empire.
The Japanese decide that we're valuable, and the Germans don't bother disputing that.
A completely nonconspicuous fleet sails around the Philippines to discover a massive Spanish army in the north, and no other garrisons.
A completely nonconspicuous attempt at justifying a conquest of the Philippines is discovered.
The Spanish army is trapped in Jolo, which is now probably worthless considering our capital sits in Kuala Lumpur.
The Sultan chuckles.
The Sultan chuckles.
The Dutch attempt to conquer some more stuff, and once again get opposed.
A very, very quick war between Germany and Spain breaks out and ends within basically a week.
The Spanish think they're winning. HA!
HA!
HA!
HA! Also they're a republic now. How would you EVER let your government end up as a republic? The Spanish are clearly unfit to rule even their own territory, let alone the Philippines.
The world does not actually accept this as justification, and for some reason neither do the diplomats the Sultan is training to go sign a peace. They inform him that "Malaysia is not doing well enough" in the war to demand anything more, despite us having viciously trapped a huge amount of the Spanish army.

We get reunsphered by Japan.
The Germans decide to pay the Brits back for that one attack. We agree to aid our allies, of course.
The war is over in months. The German one, that is. The Spanish one has been going for seven years now.
Damned Spaniards. They get all the money they do and they decide to waste it on building forts in the Philippines, specifically to make it that much more difficult to take them down.

And the Burmese, impressed by our everything and noticing we are both influenced by Japan, decides to extend a friendly diplomatic hand against the Siamese. We accept.
Oh.
Huh.
Apparently Jolo was not nearly as unimportant as we thought.

If we collapse, the fascists win. If we don't... the fascists still win.
The bastards truly have us outplayed.

well I guess we're not beating these guys in time. Say hello to our new Supreme Leader, Idris Muadzam, everybody.
The Spanish finally realise they're losing and offer us peace. Now is our chance to rack up more of a beating against them to claim more of our rightful islands.
The Germans join us.
GOOD LUCK SURVIVING NOW SPAIN HAHAHAHAHA
GOOD LUCK SURVIVING NOW SPAIN HAHAHAHAHA
god damn it.
As expected, Idris Muadzam takes control of the Federation, now renamed to simply "Malaysia".
Muadzam's first act as the Supreme Leader of Malaysia is to retract the country's signing of the Geneva Convention.
His second act is to order everyone deemed "not Malaysian enough" to be taken out. To camps, of course. Where they will be taken out. In general this time.

The Dutch have had some more rebel problems, and it's time to scoop up the mess. For the glory of Malaysia!
Kutai falls quickly.
The Philippines begin secession from Spain. Muadzam wastes no time in drawing up invasion plans.
SECOND NATIONAL FOCUS UNLOCKED.
And it only took over 70 years.
And it only took over 70 years.
A more culturally pure Malaysia is sought.
damn it
Luzon secedes from Spain as well.
We end up in the sphere of Japan. Again.
ROUND TWO HERE WE GO
Their pathetic attempt at an army is crushed while attempting to invade our land.
FUCK OFF AMERICA
NO, DAMN IT! THIS IS OUR LAND. GET BACK TO PROTECTING SMALL, IRRELEVANT NATIONS AND POINTLESSLY INTERFERING IN...
...oh...
Still, we're not giving up.
...oh...

hahahhaah fuck yuo amerikkka
Malaysia > USA
It is at this point that I will note that our population has tripled from these two regions alone.

Spain breaks again once more.
We've managed to get friendly enough with the states in the region to convince them to kneel to us. Malaysia is best Aysia... that worked better in my head. Anyway, they all agree, and most agree to form a union as a sort of post-Dutch thing.
And thus, Indonesia is born.
With it, Muadzam changes his order to include anyone who isn't Indonesian enough in the camps. We just got Java, and we probably should not kill it off considering it's one of our main population centres.
