Bah, that's only something made up by parents to keep their children from having a bunch of wild animals as pets

What use do you have for Alsace? In about 70 years you will have lost it to the Germans anyway.
Look at it this way: Alsace is a puny little country on the Rhine that's not good for much and certainly isn't militarily potent in any way shape or form. Alsace is, however, German-friendly and would make a perfect neutral buffer zone against Austria and Prussia, who would be stupid to invade their allies. You get a free buffer zone, we get independence. Everybody wins.

austrians own Belgium too, not a very good buffer state

A German-sympathizing, Monarchist buffer state? That's less an invasion deterrent and more a toll-free highway lol

[Dan the Man]

Would you rather have one door open and one door closed or both doors open? Besides, I'd still be keeping Prussia out. If you think the Austrians are going to just let them waltz into Belgium (there's a WWI joke in there somewhere) you've got another thing coming.

Treaties, my dear boy. Just because they're my friends doesn't mean I have to let them walk through to rape and pillage poor France.

So close... SO close...

At this point, I think that if de Molay can't get you guys to agree on something, he may end up committing suicide out of frustration.

"Let's make an army for defense!"

"NO! IT HAS TO BE FOR CONQUEST!"

"If we try to conquer, we will die, let's keep it for defense."

"Okay then, let's spend about 60% of our entire income on three armies!"

"WTF MAN! Get those elite units outta there!"

"I don't want you guys to put an army in Alsace, that makes me mad."

"Dude the Prussians aren't about to play nice with you just because you're... Okay... I give up."

Really regretting making a nationalist party now.
Couldn't you put it slightly to the West of Alsace? Would it really matter? And, again, a German-friendly nation that is at the very least neutral towards you is a perfect buffer zone. We don't let the Prussians through, which forces the Prussians to either leave you alone or invade us to get to you, which would piss everybody else in the world off. Does the Schlieffen Plan ring any bells?

You could always let me pull a gun on you and end the character right there.

That might cause some commotion though.

No comment on the actual meat and potatoes of the post?

I propose a military be made, Perry wants us to go all "ape-" on Europe without a strong army, any navy or a good economy. I rebuke him, he continues to argue, saying there should be no French navy (lol) and we should just let Great Britain blockade us. I tell him why that's a bad idea and my character gets ticked, brandishing a sword from across the room, so Perry pulls a gun on my guy.

Vive le France.

[Dan the Man]

Fred, you're not even in this.

[Dave Strider]

And suddenly

British

British everywhere
