Gran Corazon: The Ally Sim

You are Simon Bolivar, El Libertador. You have freed Ecuador, Panama, Bolivia and Venezuela from the Spanish. Now you want to convince them to join your nation Gran Colombia! You must convince the delegates of each country to join. You must convince one of the freed countries to join, surely more will follow after! [[next-> Bolivia]] (set: $Bolivia to 10) (set: $Ecuador to 10) (set: $Panama to 10) (set: $Venezuela to 10)

You have arrived in Bolivia, the early morning dew still sitting on the plants in the Garden. The Delegate, Juan, has invited you over for coffee. Two small white porcelain cups are sitting on the table. The table is larger than necessary, but simple. Everything has been done to ensure your enjoyment, however, with fresh cut flowers on the table and servants waiting on any order you might give them. Finally [[Juan]] arrives and he greets you like an old friend. After all, you helped them write their Constitution. “My dear friend Simón! What brings you here?” You greet him with equal enthusiasm: “Juan, my old companion, I am here to talk about the state of our countries! I wish for you to join Gran Colombia. To have us all united in one grand Nation.” Juan nodded, a determined look replacing his smile “I am intruiged, but tell me what would be your priority for funding if we do join? You understand I must protect the interest of my country” You show your plans, you wish to: (link: "Invest into Agriculture")[\ (set: $Bolivia to it + 0) (set: $Ecuador to it - 5) (set: $Panama to it + 0) (set: $Venezuela to it + 5)\ (go-to: "chap 1")\ ] (link: "Invest into Textile production")[\ (set: $Bolivia to it - 5) (set: $Ecuador to it + 5) (set: $Panama to it + 0) (set: $Venezuela to it + 0)\ (go-to: "chap 1")\ ] (link: "Invest into Culture")[\ (set: $Bolivia to it + 5) (set: $Ecuador to it +0) (set: $Panama to it + 0) (set: $Venezuela to it - 5)\ (go-to: "chap 1")\ ] (link: "Invest into Naval Trade")[\ (set: $Bolivia to it - 5) (set: $Ecuador to it + 0) (set: $Panama to it + 5) (set: $Venezuela to it + 0)\ (go-to: "chap 1")\ ]

Juan smiles, although the emotions behind the smile are hard to tell. You hope you said the right thing to convince your old friend. "Very well, enough about business! Let's catch up like old times" he eventually responded, a lot more vague than you had anticipated. The two of you chatted and drank well into darkness. Now you walk through the empty streets of Sucre under the twinkling stars. Your goal of freeing South America finally completed, now you are here wondering if you could keep Gran Colombia together. A federation of nations won't work here like in the United States. You wish to get a centralized government. You need only to convince one more! You hope that will shift the vote from the federalist and convince Gran Colombia to stay together under your vision. You hope you said the right thing to Juan today... [[next->chap1.2]]

“I knew you wouldn’t disappoint!” Juan lets out a loud belly laugh in triumph. This is exactly what Bolivia needed as a new state, to help them thrive and prosper. “We will discuss the details at the conference!” You smile pleasantly and agree to go over the details once more when the conference of Ocaña will take place. [[Go to Ocaña->Bolivia Chapter 2]]

Today is the day, you head Juan's advice. Despite the two of you not seeing eye to eye, an old friend wouldn't lie to you. Your mission is clear: You must convince Venezuela to become your ally in today's vote! You have a basket with you as you arrive at Caracas. It's still hot as you had your servants prepare them fresh in the morning. Nothing gets the goodwill going than some good food or drink, in your opinion. You brought with you: (link: "Ropa Vieja")[\ (set: $Bolivia to it +0) (set: $Ecuador to it - 5) (set: $Panama to it + 5) (set: $Venezuela to it + 0)\ (go-to: "Food PanamaB")\ ] (link: "Maduros")[\ (set: $Bolivia to it +0) (set: $Ecuador to it +5) (set: $Panama to it - 5) (set: $Venezuela to it +0\ (go-to: "Food EcuadorB")\ ] (link: "Salteñas")[\ (set: $Bolivia to it +5) (set: $Ecuador to it - 0) (set: $Panama to it + 0) (set: $Venezuela to it + 5)\ (go-to: "Food BoliviaB")\ ] (link:"Arepas")[\ (set: $Bolivia to it -5) (set: $Ecuador to it +0) (set: $Panama to it +0) (set: $Venezuela to it + 5)\ (go-to: "Food VenezuelaV")\ ]

Today is the day, you head Juan's advice. Your old friend wanted to hash out the final details before today's vote. You just had to set themood right to convince him.

Nothing gets the goodwill going than some good food or drink, in your opinion. You brought with you: (link: "Ropa Vieja")[\ (set: $Bolivia to it +0) (set: $Ecuador to it - 5) (set: $Panama to it + 5) (set: $Venezuela to it + 0)\ (go-to: "NEB")\ ] (link: "Maduros")[\ (set: $Bolivia to it +0) (set: $Ecuador to it +5) (set: $Panama to it - 5) (set: $Venezuela to it +0\ (go-to: "NEB")\ ] (link: "Salteñas")[\ (set: $Bolivia to it +5) (set: $Ecuador to it - 0) (set: $Panama to it + 0) (set: $Venezuela to it + 5)\ (go-to: "Food BoliviaB")\ ] (link:"Arepas")[\ (set: $Bolivia to it -5) (set: $Ecuador to it +0) (set: $Panama to it +0) (set: $Venezuela to it + 5)\ (go-to: "NEB")\ ]

Today is the day, you head Juan's advice. Despite the two of you not seeing eye to eye, an old friend wouldn't lie to you. Your mission is clear:Convince Panama to vote with you.

Nothing gets the goodwill going than some good food or drink, in your opinion.

You approach the Delegate of Panama, Pablo. Not an old friend, however, it is a familiar face and a friendly one, so it seems.

There is visible disappointment among the delegates of Bolivia and Juan when you reveal your basket. The food you present is not quite typical for them, sure it is good food.

Juan, a tall, slender man in his 30's. He has curly black hair and a moustache that was prestinely groomed. This attention for detail could be seen elsewhere in his clothes: he was wearing a red waistcoat with detailed stitchings of flowers on the lapels in yellow thread, a blue scarf wrapped around his neck. He looked like a dapper and righteous man. You had great fondness for Juan and Bolivia.
