Y'know if you try make up an excuse to invade Achia (like set Achia up to attack civilians the South Empire), I think people will not be as threatened as if you just invade in a opportunistic way. Nobody may believe it, but it will at least keep the anti-war people in your land in check.
It is certainly possible invading Achia in my opinion. But using your army and charging inward is a dumb idea. I would use your navy to capture their capital. Most land that would be usable for commercial purposes would be on the coast. Throttling their administration and their commercial capabilities should be enough for a surrender.
But at least inland, I would not confront their armies. The chances are if they have secured their independence this long, they will have fortification in the mountains. 2 of their major cities I think are up in the highlands on plateaus I imagine.
Their armies are likely to be operating their along with any industries that deals with raw materials.
Octitania will likely do nothing about it, but they certainly won't approve of the invasion. If an ultraconservative mood came from the constitutional convention, they are likely to withdraw from the alliance and could be a precursor to a war between the two nations in the late 1500's and early 1600's
But I do not know how the convention will go and I would like to get it done soon so I know how the Empire is organized or if it will even be an Empire.
With that said, the invasion of Achia should for an interesting RP. And I curious to see the battle plans in the future.

Charging Inward might be a decent enough idea if done right, if Ark just takes the coasts then well...commerce won't matter as the inland groups take to guerilla warfare to keep Ark's tooks relatively stuck at the borders and coasts....chargeeeee into the mountains my boy.....that is what I say o/ or just bomb the shit out the entire country then carefully step over the remains....
EDIT:
Singan won't likely comment as long as Ark is being well.....non-chemically-genocidally-evilly-bad during the war....if foreign powers start getting involved...Singan might look towards its direction once again and reevaluate the situation.

Taking a second look at the map. Yeah, the geography will be an issue, but I could maintain control over the majority of the country if I attack the coast and the east, but I'd considering Arkiania has similar geography one could assume the Arkiania's forces would be familiar in fighting in the type of climate and terrain.

Angiris is not in any position to really do anything about Arkiania's plans with Achia. though I can't imagine it'd be too happy about it.

In chat Rommy gave the idea that I can attack the mountains first and I can force them to the shores which would then prevent me from getting into a prolonged war in the mountains.

I never really thought about what was in Arkainia. Is it really worth invading this small Duchy just for... imperialism? Regardless, persuading them in the mountains straight away seems like a solid strategy, but I think it will not be cheap to invade Arkainia both fiscally and manpower wise. Just do not turn the invasion into a Winter War.
I took a look at what could be happening in Octitania. It really depends on what the Consititution looks like (which I do not know yet). But if a republican model is in place in Octitania, then they will be difficult to cooperate with, they might impose sanctions.
Because of the civil war, Arkainian-Octitanian relations are fragile when most of the administration can benefit from a republic. So tread carefully how you approach this to Octitania. Because you might have to in the future. That is all I can say right now because I do not know about the Constitution yet.
