Rise of the South (Map Game)

Welcome to Rise of the South, a map game about the rise of the Confederate States of America during the American Civil War.

On the date of April 2, 1865, Lieutenant General Nelson Appleton Miles of the Union launched an attempt to capture the Sutherland Station of Dinwiddle County, Virginia to cut off the supplies lines of General Robert E. Lee of the Confederate States of America. In the end Lieutenant General Miles assault to capture the station has failed, suffering more than 4000 casualties and failing his objective to take the station.

Following the unsuccessful attack to cut off General Lee's supply lines, General Ulysses S. Grant has still initiated the third assault to capture the town of Petersburg, Virginia in the Third Battle of Petersburg. When the battle started, Union troops failed to capture to Fort Mahone, suffering extreme casualties including the destruction of the IX Corps, and the death of commander Major General John Grubb Parke. As the IX Corps fail to take Fort Mahone, General Ulysses S. Grant tries one last attempt to take the strategic position, which ends in catastrophe, following the death of more than 9000 Union soldiers and also the death of Ulysses S. Grant.

After the Third Battle of Petersburg, Union troops were forced to fall back across the Potomac River, allowing Confederate troops commanded by General Robert E. Lee to retake land that was occupied by Union forces. Following the death of Ulysses S. Grant, Union troops have been heavily demoralized and war wearied.

As of 1872 the war has ended with the Confederate States of America remaining independent in peace with its rival to the north.

Nations
If nation has (X) written next to it please read the "Picking a Primary Nation" section on the rules page.

Everybody is obliged to start making their nation page.

Keep in mind players who want to play as colonies of a greater nation can kick the current player out of that spot if the current player is also playing as the main state.
 * Example: If I want to play as Cuba which belongs to Spain, and the player of Spain is currently signed up as Cuba you can sign yourself up as Cuba. This also goes for vassals and puppet states.

1872
'Yohannes IV is crowned Emperor of Ethiopia in Axum, the first ruler crowned in that city in over 500 years. '

Rex, the most famous parade on Mardi Gras, parades for the first time in New Orleans for Grand Duke Alexei Mikhailovich of Russia.

'Execution of the Filipino priests Jose Burgos, Mariano Gomez, and Jacinto Zamora, collectively known as Gomburza, in Bagumbayan Fields, Manila, Philippines by the authorities of New Spain on charges of subversion arising from the 1872 Cavite mutiny. '

An earthquake with an estimated magnitude of 7.2 strikes Lone Pine, California.

Russia: Autonomy of the Duchy of Finland and the Kingdom of Poland continue to increase. The large majority of peasants in the Russian Empire, starts a large spread of curiosity throughout the government. Many government officials believe that an uprising could occur throughout the majority of the population because of this. Due to this we increase tax spending on attempting to increase the wealth of the peasant class. We ask to start a military alliance between the two nations of Austria-Hungary and the German Empire called the League of Three Emperors in order to ensure the security between our nations. Our army score 0.50 to 2.50. Military vessels continue to be docked in the United States of America, as well as our territory of Alaska.

Empire of Brazil: The Emperor of Brazil, Emperor Dom Pedro II fresh off of many successes such as the victory of the Paraguayan War, begins to encourage a distinct increase in Industrial Capability, as well as expansion of Agriculture. He encourages expanded agriculture in Coffee production, as well as allowing the previously expanding rubber industry to continue with its huge growth and profit over the years allowing the Empire to secure a larger portion of the rubber trade towards Europe and North America. Along with this Dom Pedro II meets with advisors who agree that Railroads currently throughout the country must be expanded incrementally and at a decent pace to help the expansion of many industries. The Navy and Civilian builders also begins looking towards better and more efficient steam propulsion on ships looking towards building steam barges to help transport goods from the Interior provinces and farms. The State of Acre which officially Bolivian is continually settled by Brazilians with the rubber production taking total control of the area and Brazil's hold over the area is even more solid than Bolivian hold. A Brazilian trade ship lands in OTL Gabon establishing a small grouping of trade posts.

The Empire also begins a notable program of holding its Military at its current numbers intent of creating a strong internationally respected nation. 250,000 troops are left in the military with their training expected to be expanded to help with more climates and a better understanding of tactics. The Imperial navy, however, begins the more notable expansion working on establishing the ability to fight outside the coastal waters of the Empire. Many blue water capable ships are constructed at the order of the Minister of the Navy with Broadside Ironclads being developed with help from US, and British advisors. However, the possibility of developing a new system is considered with the revolving turret system of the USS Monitor considered. The main idea behind this was to have the largest ships in the navy (such as battleships or other heavy ships of the type) mounted with a Breech loading naval cannon of at leach 12 inches and a .45 caliber However, more designs and guns are being considered in order to develop a truly unique ship that shows off Brazilian rising power and prestige. Along with this the search for a new service rifle for the Army begins and the clash begins for domestic development or Foreign purchase. The army training allow for an increase in our Army score to 1.5.

The Emperor personally greets many of the many European Immigrants that arrive in Rio de Janeiro as with Brazil growing international recognition almost 40,000 European immigrants arrive. The population of the Empire grows to about 10.15 million as population growth continues as well. The Emperor also in collusion with the Parliament and the Judicial system agree on a modification to the Lines of Succession to the Throne of the Empire with the most directly blood related Male Heir to the Brazilian throne put at the top of the line to take the throne. This allows any male child that the Emperors daughters have (in which the first daughter's male child will take precedence of the the younger sister), if no sons are alive or able to take the throne, to become next in line of succession and recieve the Royal education program. This is done as it is known that the emperor's daughters - especially the one currently in line for succession - is vastly unpopular and deemed by many of the middle class and nobility as unfit to claim the throne to the empire. The Emperor alongside this encourages his daughter to start a family and have a male child so that a new heir apparent to the Brazilian throne is born and the Monarchial line can continue. The Emperor being revitalized by his decision to allow this type of thing to happen takes a more active stance in the empire politics running more things and getting effective legislation passed. The Emperor with direct support from parliament seeking larger international recognition sends multiple envoys to the United States, Mexico, Great Britain, Germany, and attempts to re-establish diplomatic ties with Portugal.

'''Dom Pedro II, however, remembers his ancestral ties and strengthens his claim to the succession of the Portuguese throne citing his direct relation to kings of Portugal, and with a more direct bloodline to previous kings. Dom Pedro II officially lays total claim to the throne of Portugal and her colonies by rights of succession.'''


 * Empire of Brazil D: We request more involved and expanded trade of agricultural and industrial goods to Europe. With rubber and coffee currently being some of the prime and highly desired exports. The same offer is extended to the United States and Mexico.
 * United States D: We recognize the Empire of Brazil and accept their trade offer. We also offer the Empire of Brazil and alliance.
 * Empire of Brazil Dip: We agree to the alliance and ask for assistance in the Naval department as well as weapons for the Army.
 * United States Dip: We agree in the assistance in Naval department and supply the Imperial Army with extra weapons from the American Civil War.
 * Great British Dip: We recognise the Empire of Brazil, accept the Trade offer, and request an alliance. We also send several shipbuilders to the Empire, to aid them in construction of Warships.
 * Empire of Brazil Dip: We agree to both the trade offer, and alliance and immediately devote the shipbuilders to naval buildup such as building ironclad warships.
 * Swiss Diplomacy: We offer to trade Brazil the Vetteri Bolt Action Rifle for artillery pieces.
 * Japanese D: asks for an alliance
 * Spain D: We ask for a non-aggression pact.
 * Brazil Dip: Only on the condition Spain Recognizes Brazils claim to the Throne of Portugal, and all her colonies and territories.
 * Britain: Recognises Brazil's claim to the throne of Portugal.
 * The British-Portuguese Alliance really can't break... it is the oldest ongoing alliance in the world's history, from the 1300s. What can happen is if Britain simply states that they support Emp. Pedro's right to ascension of the Portuguese throne.

Joseon: The army is built up and its score is improved by 0.25. Meanwhile, King Gojong announces his assumption of direct royal rule. Heungseon Daewongun is forced to retire and soon Queen Min gains complete control over the court.

Portugal: We agree to the alliance with Austria as a popular revolution spreads the nation installing Amedo of Asota to the throne. That also means we will be a Vassal of Spain to avoid influence from Brazil.
 * That is extremely implausible.. can I get a mod on this?? Really. Portugal wouldve never been Spains vassal at this point especially when the Portuguese colonial empire was larger than Spain's at the time not to mention the Portuguese monarchy wouldn't be overthrown like this without a large civil war. &#35;LivinLikeFeudal (talk)

'''That wasn't my crossout. That was mscoree's ... once again I'm asking the mods to please handle this and let oct know that I didn't cross that turn out and that a moderator did. Could we also restore the crossout? &#35;LivinLikeFeudal (talk)'''

'''I have recrossed out Portugal's turn. Currently Edboy452 is looking in to whether or not Ratc needs a ban. Octavian - don't undo moderator decisions like that again. Mscoree (talk) 00:57, September 21, 2013 (UTC)'''

Ratc won't be banned, but if he does this again he will be permanently banned. User:Edboy452    (talk) 00:54, September 21, 2013 (UTC)

Spain: We outlaw excutions. We also ask to ally with the Ottomans, USA, Portugal, and Japan. We send a fleet of men to OTL Equatorial Guinea to set a new city and colony New Barcelona and New Catalonia. We create a new defense pact called the MDC. To join the MDC there are three requirements. Italy, Portugal and Greece are invited.
 * 1) The King of Spain will be given the title Emperor of the Meerttrian
 * 2) Acceptance of human rights.
 * 3) Approval from the council of Nations.

Japanese D: accepts.

Ottoman Empire: Accepts the Alliance on the Conditions of a Mutual Defensive pact.

United States of America: With the American Civil War over we start reconstruct heavily damaged towns and farms near the Union-Confederate border including Lone Pine, California. We set up a defensive line along the Union-Confederate border as well with 5000 troops in total. With the war over we increase our industrial capicity  expand our agritculture. Because of this we upgrade our industry by 0.50.  We produce steam ships in order to control trade and population movement along the Missippi River and we continue expansion of the Trans-Continental Railroad in order to control trade and population movement across land. Meanwhile, the government discusses slave rights. With an alliance secured with Brazil, we offer an alliance to Mexico, hoping to form the Pan-American Coalition (PAC).
 * United States of America: Because of our shared culture and language we offer the United Kingdom an alliance as well as France, hoping to form the Trans-Atlantic Coalition (TAC).


 * British Diplomacy: Accept the alliance.
 * Empire of Brazil dip: We also support this looking to get economic solidarity and Security with the US and with Mexico being part of Central america and in fact a very well to do stopping place for trade between the US, Mexico, and Brazil. We encourage Mexico to drop any long standing issues or grudges against the United States in order to form a militarily and economically sound alliance between the Brazil, the US, and Mexico. The Empire of Brazil desperately wishes Mexico to join this military and economic coalition to allow for a quicker, but also more structured approach to economic growth while the american nations come into their own. With this we wish the Mexicans to consider the offer, and once again foster good relations between the US, with Brazil acting as the middle man to prevent any further issues and expedite the process of Pan American peace and cooperation.

Italy: We begin building up our army which adds 0.25 to the army score. As of 1872 King Victor Emmanuel II has ruled for two years but, a democratic movement is rising around the young nation. The Emmanuel II wants Italy to become a colonial empire
 * Swiss Diplomacy: We request to purchase a thin strip of land so we can construct a port city.
 * Spain D: We ask for an alliance.

Germany: With the German constitution adopted by the Reichstag less than one year ago, the foundations for the new parliament are in place. Universal male suffrage allows for many diverse political views to be expressed in the new parliament. We begin a rapid expansion of industry to catch up to other European powers. The steel giant Krupp continues to grow to become one of the largest steel manufacturers in Europe, improving our national economy, thanks in large part to the protection from American and British competition afforded by tariffs and cartels. Coal plants are expanded to locally power our nation. Important mines along the valleys of the rivers Ruhr, Inde, and Wurm are modernized to be safer and more efficient. Numerous small industrial centres begin to spring up, focusing on ironworks using local coal. Our iron and steel works begin buying mines, and erecting coking ovens to supply their own requirements in coke and gas. These integrated coal-iron firms ("Huettenzechen") became numerous with the growth of the industrial sector. The average output of a mine in 1850 was about 8,500 short tons; its employment about 64. We hope to grow these numbers, drastically increasing our output. Total Ruhr coal output rose from 2.0 million short tons in 1850, and is expected to rise to 22 by 1880.The miners in the Ruhr region are divided by ethnicity with Germans and Poles, and religion with Protestants and Catholics, splitting the miners into several unions, with an affiliation to different political parties. Mobility in and out of the mining camps to nearby industrial areas is high. German banks begin to play a central roles in financing German industry. Different banks form cartels in different industries, and Cartel contracts become accepted as legal and binding by German courts, although illegal in Britain and the United States. The process of cartelization begins slowly, but the cartel movement is expected to rise. The government plays a powerful role in the industrialization of the German Empire, during a period known as the Second Industrial Revolution. We supported not only heavy industry but also crafts and trades, to maintain prosperity in all parts of the empire. Local procedures are put in place, so even where the national government does not act, the highly autonomous regional and local governments are expected to support their own industries. Each state is expected to be as self-sufficient as possible. Railroads become crucial in the transfer of German goods across Europe, and modern engines begin to replace outdated models in our nation. Bismarck’s new tariffs on imported grain and the introduction of the sugar beet as a main crop helps to grow agricultural yield. Farmers begin to abandon traditional, inefficient practices, adapting modern farming practices, such as the use of new fertilizers and tools. The knowledge and tools gained from the intensive farming of sugar and other root crops helps to quickly elevate Germany to one of the most efficient agricultural producers in Europe. With the economic push toward industrialization and urbanization, heavy industry (coal and steel especially) become important in the Ruhr, and manufacturing growing in the cities, the Ruhr, and Silesia. Based on its leadership in chemical research in the universities and industrial laboratories, we begin to become dominant in the world's chemical industry. Big businesses such as BASF and Bayer led the way in their production and distribution of artificial dyes and pharmaceuticals during the Wilhelmine era, leading to the German monopolisation of the global chemicals market. A nation wide currency is planned to be introduced known as the German Goldmark, which will eventually replace the Vereinsthaler, South German Gulden, Bremen Thaler, Hamburg Mark, French Franc, and other local currencies, beginning new economic unity. The German Army is expanded with the goal of using ground and sea assets to protect the German Empire, and its interests. The armies of the former German Confederacy states are placed under the control of Prussia, while the contingents of the Bavarian, Saxon and Württemberg kingdoms remain semi-autonomous. The term "German Army" begins to be used in various legal documents such as the Military Penal Code, but otherwise the Prussian, Bavarian, Saxon and Württemberg armies maintain distinct identities, under the command of Chief of the German General Staff Helmuth von Moltke. The expansion of our army increases our score by 0.50. Supreme command of the navy is vested in the emperor, but its first appointed chief is Infantry General Albrecht von Stosch. Kiel on the Baltic Sea and Wilhelmshaven on the North Sea become the Navy's principal naval bases. The former Navy Ministry becomes the Imperial Admiralty on 1 February 1872. Initially the main task of the new Imperial Navy is to ensure coastal protection. The Imperial Navy's tasks are then to prevent any invasion force from landing and to protect coastal towns from possible bombardment. We open a German Imperial Naval Academy at Kiel for training officers, followed in May by the creation of a 'Machine Engineer Corps', and we plan to create a 'Medical Corps' by early 1873. We begin a ten year program to institute the modernise of the fleet. Our new plan calls for the creation of eight armoured frigates, six armoured corvettes, twenty light corvettes, seven monitors, two floating batteries, six avisos, eighteen gunboats and twenty-eight torpedo boats, at an estimated cost of 220 million gold marks. The building plan is approved by the Reichstag, which controlls the allocation of funds, although one-quarter of the money came from French war reparations, allowing the modernization of our fleet to begin. We also hope to begin the colonization of Africa, although we first wish to expand our naval capabilities. '''We accept the offer from Russia to form the League of the Three Emperors, as long as Austria-Hungary accepts. We also ask for a trade agreement and an alliance with Italy, Switzerland, the Netherlands, Belgium, Denmark, and Sweden.'''

France: A year after defeat of the Second French Empire by the Prussians, the shift to the French Third Republic is still heavy. Many still support a monarch who currently would be Henry V, but only if he was limited by a constitution. Henry V, however, refuses the throne because of this, and the use of the tricolor flag as he wishes to be an absolute monarch like his grandfather before him. Despite this, support still stays for a monarch, and the people wait for his childless death as Phillip VII has been recognized as his most possible heir. While waiting for the death of Henry V, and the succession by Phillip VII, the republic government currently serves only as a regency council due to Henry V's refusal to the throne. While they rule, the status quo is maintained in all French politics, save for their recent policy of inflating the French Franc by moving it over to a pure gold standard to halt the increasing deflation. We upgrade our military through an increase in arms shipments to colonial armies, and upgrade our army by 0.50.


 * French Equatoral Africa: Through continental French shipments, the colonial armies become better armed and uniformed, in order to enforce French law and assimilation upon the native populations. The colonial government begins to "hand out" assimilation rights, which actually require a renouncement of current land holdings, allowing for the colonial government to take hold of lands, and "civilize" the natives.
 * French Dahomey: Continental French shipments allow  for the small colonial army to become better armed and uniformed in the wake of recent Dahomey Kingdom raids, which sets much of the coastal colony on edge for a possible war to break out between the formally friendly colony and nation.
 * New Caledonia: Continental French shipments allow for the small colonial police force to become better armed and uniformed in the wake of recent waves of european immigration from the discovery of nickel in 1864. Since then, colonial population has been ever increasing, and native population slowly decreasing, although tensions are very high.
 * French Senegal: Continental French shipments allow for the colonies armies to become better armed and uniformed. The doctrine of missionary work and abolitionism is still promoted as preparations for another war with the remaining Sengali chiefdoms begins in order to curtail their slave trade and end their pagan practices, as well as gain access to numerous mining ventures.
 * French Indochina: Continental French shipments allow for the large colonial armies to become better armed and uniformed. Soldiers are stationed near the Sino-Indochinese border as support for expansion of the French colonial provinces and catholic faith is advocated for by the governor of the colony.
 * French Guiana: Continental French shipments allow for the larger colonial armies to become better armed and unformed. Guard presence is increase as more prisoners are sent to the colony. Recently, however, focus has shifted for its governer from focus on the penal aspects of the country, to the discoveries of gold in 1854, as some immigrants from France come, hoping to become very wealthy in gold trade.


 * Swiss Diplomacy: We request to purchase a thin strip of land so we can construct a port city.

Switzerland: The army begins to construct border fortifications with all nations. Designs for Artillery are made and a factory is retooled to produce some small artillery pieces. The volley guns are deployed to the Swiss-French border due to some instability. The government begins to improve agriculture by subsidizing farmers.

The border fortifications include guard towers, artillery walls, spikes to slow infantry, armed troops, and the volley guns. The fortifications are built at mountain passes to eliminate enemy troops need be.

Army increases score by 0.25 due to the complete deployment of the Vetteri Bolt Action Rifle and the fortifications.

We request that all nations recognize our neutrality as of right now.
 * Britain: Recognise Neutralty.
 * Ottoman Empire: Recognize Neutrality
 * Japan: Recognizes Neutrality

United Kingdoms of Sweden and Norway: We begin to spread large amount of enfluence to Norway to convince the people to stay within the Union. Some of our best education and technologies are being sent to Norway to help out relations along with lots of money given to their economy to try to balance both Sweden's and Norway's economical status. We begin developing large factories to produce artillery and rifles. We try to improve our relation with Russia.

Denmark: We have begun to start a system of government that outdates any previous kind of power in Denmark, we now have 200 people in the higher ranks and 10 people of this number represent Denmark and its Territories to the people and the world. We also have a new way to decide what is best for the country, if something has been put forward to the 200 officials then they write a report on the topic and hand them out to all citizens over the age of 24 who are capable of supporting themselves, then each citizen of this description votes to either allow the motion or deny the motion. And to make sure that nothing happens simply because 1 person tipped the scales either way, at least 75% has to agree to the proposal for it to be allowed. This way we know that the people are getting what is right for them and not what someone thinks is right for them.

Netherlands: More expeditions in the Dutch Indies are held to fond new spices and/or to find good agricultural grounds there. We officialy recognize the CSA and Brazil. A woman named Aletta Jacobs is the first woman to finish university and she becomes a doctor. With this, the first 'feministic wave' kicked off. The par;ement, jealous about Belgium's industry, begins a large industrial project with plans of dozens of factories. With this, our economic scores upgrade to 1.25.

UK: Economy improved. Military improved. Relations with Brazil strengthen. Shipbuilders begin to design Metal Warships. We offer to sell artillery to Switzerland. Industry Score Upgrades to 2.25 to deal with the Shipbuilders requests for Metal, and factories spring up everywhere, increasing the employment opportunities. The idea of an Imperial Federation is proposed, and begins to gain popularity.
 * Swiss Diplomacy: We offer to trade for 30 Armstrong Breech Loading 12 pounder 8 cwt for 30,000 Vetteri Bolt Action rifles.
 * UK D: OK
 * Japanese D: offers an alliance.
 * UK D: Accepts.
 * USA D:  We ask for an alliance with the United Kingdom because of our shared history and culture. We offer France an alliance as well, hoping to form the Trans-Atlantic Alliance.

It's implausible to even have an alliance with Great Britain at this time without making large political maneuvers and possibly starting protests within your own nation.

Japan: After the political reforms removing the samurai, and giving more power to himself (Meji), a few samurai rebellions pop up. These are easilly '''supressed. Trade with the west begins to open up, and an alliance with the UK, Brazil, And France is asked for. We also ask for western countries to trade with us up to date military technologies.''' Industries pop up across the country, and a main railroad between the islands of Honshu and Kyushu. The military increases rapidly, with all healthy men after age 21 to serve for 5 years, although implementing thids is suspected to take some time, and then can opt to join the work force or continue in the military. The army score increases to 1.25.

Brazil Dip: We agree to trade, and a purely DEFENSIVE alliance.

Mexico: With recent develpoments across the world Mexico begins to try to not fall behind in the world, using the United States as a model to look at to how a country should run. With tensions seeming to come between the USA and CSA, Mexico begins moving a majority of its defense force to it's northern border, we i ncrease our Army by 0.5 0. Mexico begins to look for nations willing to trade for its many resources that cover the land.

US D: We accept a trade offer with Mexico and ask Mexico for an alliance with us and Brazil in order to form the Pan-American Coalition.

Austria-Hungary: We accept the offer from Russia and Germany to create the League of the Three Emperors. We also begin upgrading our military, increasing our score by 0.50. Railroads from the west begin to spread to cover much of the empire, increasing mobility across our nation.

Ottoman Empire: Sutlan Abdulaziz continues the Manzipat era of "Reorganization". We spread "Ottomanism," a pan-national movement that can be spread amongst all people of the Empire. We allow non-Turks more and more freedoms, especially of self-government. The Ottoman government, along with the Sultan, encourage secularization. Attempts to influence Persia, Morocco and the Saudi continue, with mild success. The millet system continues with suprising progress.''' We grow our army by 0.50. We propose an alliance with Britain, and an alliance with France in exchange for their lands in Algeria (or thereabouts). Finally, we also raise a new tax for non-Ottoman goods passing through the Bosphorus, and an additional tax for the Dardanelles. '''

CSA: We build our industry by 0.50. We begin to rebuild the country and restore internal trade. We offer an allaince to France and Mexico.

1873
A military alliance has been formed between the nations of Austria-Hungary, Germany and Russia now known as the League of Three Emperors.

'''Military buildup across the French-Swiss border has brought serious concern on French leaders, questioning Switzerland's neutrality in the world, as promised in the Congress of Vienna. People start protesting this unnecessary military buildup.'''

'''Leaders of the Ottoman Empire are concerned about the newly established alliance with the German Empire, the Russian Empire and Austria-Hungary. Some politicians feel the need to start a coalition against this uprising threat.'''

'''Sorry I wasn't able to post the mod event today guys. I had to do something before the mod event had to be posted and just arrived back home. I tried to contact Mscoree but he never replied.'''

United States of America: Industrial build up, agricultural expansion, rebuildment of damaged towns/farms, production of steam ships, and construction of the Transcontinental railroad, the defenisve (Lincoln) line on the Union-Confederate border, and cooperation with the Empire of Brazil all continue. Now that the American Civil War is over we pledge to sign the Freedom Pact with the Empire of Brazil in order to gradually phase out slavery.
 * Swiss Diplomacy: We request to purchase ten river patrol boats/gunboats.

Empire of Brazil: The Empire continues its expansive program into Industrial expansion, and cash crop agriculture, developing coffee and rubber plantations. However, the government under the encouragement of Emperor Dom Pedro II asks these farms and plantations to be legitimate businesses with employees rather than slaves. The Emperor also in order to prevent mass anger from the nobility agrees that every man who frees his slaves will be paid a sum for the amount of slaves owned in a gradual program to phase out slavery. This is done to prevent the nobility from being angered by the mass freedom of slaves. However, some softer hearted nobles agree that any farms or plantations they own will be converted for a wage based business model and their slaves are freed immediately. The Emperor signs legislation put forward by Parliament that officially ends Brazil's involvement in the slave trade as well as the slaver ships being used to transport along with this Brazil signs the Freedom pact with the United States agreeing to gradually phase out Slavery. whatever african slaves who want to return to Africa which ends up being quite a sizeable number. Along with this the slaver ships are converted willingly into major trade vessels as the rubber, coffee and crop industries take off and more ships are needed for the trade to the US Great Britain and other trade partners. A small Brazilian fleet of 12 warships accompanies trade ships to europe and make their first appearance off the coast of Brazil on their way to Gibraltar. With the sudden intervention of the British the Fleet of 12 ships as well as groups of trade ships with hired guards aboard manage to bring together a force of about 5000 (including mercenaries) to make a landing in Portugal after the British make their assault. '''We officially declare war on the Portuguese monarchy which with the illegal successor we declare their monarchy defunct and ours the rightful rulers of Portugual, the Algarves and all her colonies. '''

Casus Belli: Political Blunder (-2) Objective: War of Unification (0)

With the Empire's economy expanding and with assistance from both the US and the British Empire the Empire of Brazil continues Naval construction and development continuing its work towards the breech-loading cannon for its new capital ship class which is still currently being designed. The Turret design is also continually worked on with some setbacks coming from the how the turret turns and how to load it inside the turret. The Weaponry which we Buy from the United States is used to gradually phase out some of our more outdated weaponry. Along with the the Imperial army marches forward with expansion of its influence and power conducting raids against criminals among other people throughout the amazons who wish to operate independantly of the country. These men, however, are few and far between. With this, the Brazilian army also trains itself in Amphibious landings. '''The better equipment and advanced training increases our army score by 0.50. '''With Portugal declaring an illegal heir and British intervention over this, the Brazilian armed forces begin to appropriate Brazilian owned ships and pay the owners for their use. Large top of the line ships such as slaver ships are used as Capital ships due to their size. while smaller ships are declared frigates, torpedo boats among other things. This brings in 18 ships and about eight more from the navy proper are brought in placing ship numbers at 26 ships. Troops ships are also used to transport thousands of Troops across the Atlantic to Portugal with the total original number of troops sent to be at almost 10,000 soldiers of the Imperial army. They depart and are expected to arrive for occupation or war duty immediately in a few months. A general officer is appointed to the army and is sent with the army.

With increased immigration and population growth the Empire Brazil Reaches a population of just over 11 million. The Empire uses its rising status to begin advertising itself for immigration on the world stage. With the increased economic output and influence, as well as the British Empires recognition of Brazilian claim to the throne of Portugal, the Emperor Dom Pedro II continues strengthening his claim to the throne subversively delivering propaganda to the Portuguese people claiming that their current period of decline is because of their inept leadership. The Emperor Dom Pedro II even with his dislike of being the Emperor decides that his work must take precedence over his interests at least until a Suitable heir can take his place, He Even talks with his trusted advisors that while he does not enjoy being the monarch he does a good job and must recognize that he mut serve the people over himself. The Emperor continues to encourage his daughter to have a child but she remains unable to concieve. Dom Pedro also begins strengthening relations with her daughters husband, Gaston the Count of Eu taking him personally on a hunting trip wishing to discuss many things about the future of the country especially the education of their future son and his inheritance of the throne. The trading post in OTL Gabon expands into a true Trading colony with a population of about 100.


 * Empire of Brazil Dip: We ask Portugal to recognize House Braganza of Brazil as the legitimate successor to the Portuguese throne. We also ask the nations of the United States, Mexico, and France to recognize our claims to the throne of Portugal.
 * Spain D: We regonize the claim, but only if Brazil does NOT vassalize.
 * Brazil D: We plan to integrate Portugal and her colonies into the empire proper not as vassals.

Joseon: The infrastructure is improved. Some Confucian, Buddhist and Taoist Temples are built.

Russia: Autonomy of the Duchy of Finland and the Kingdom of Poland continue. Alexander II addresses the nation about the newly formed alliance with the German Empire and Austria-Hungary. Railroad tracks are excessively placed across the nation, mainly funded by the rich class and high end private companies. Tax cuts are made on the peasant class of the population and taxes increase for the rich in order to maintain a steady economy and lower the chances of a civil uprising. Miners in Alaska have struck gold deposits across the territory, bringing riches to the nation. Military score increases by 0.50. Our military vessels continue to be docked at the United States of America and Portugal.
 * Portuguese Diplomacy: We ask for the Russian, Austria-Hungraian and German people's to accept us into the League of Three Emperors and request that you recognize Alfonso Salazo of Braganza 's claim to the throne. We also ask for a Free Trade Agreement between Russia and Portugal to stimulate our economies.
 * Brazil Dip: We would like to remind Russia that Portugal is allied to Russias enemy by proxy, and the Portugal has prefferred the british multiple times over the Russians when it came to wars and prevented russian ships from docking.
 * Russian Diplomacy: We decline the allowance of Portugal joining the League of Three Emperors due to their non loyal acts and not allowing us to dock ships during our wars with the British.
 * Swiss Diplomacy: We request to purchase 45 mountain artillery pieces for a price named by the Russians.

Switzerland: We continue to remain internationally neutral, and inform France that all of the emplacements are for defense. The military begins to fortify the borders with the German Empire and Austria-Hungary. We offer to send 2000 troops to defend Liechtenstein.

The government begins to fund the design of a new artillery piece. It is a breech loading 120mm cannon. Also, a new rifle is under design. Many Swiss approve of the fortifications, but want to remain neutral. Due to the fortifications out army increases by 0.25.

'''Ed, Liechtenstien had no military, and relied on Switzerland for defense b/c they were both neutral. I am NOT annexing him. Daeseunglim (talk) 03:12, September 22, 2013 (UTC)'''

Netherlands: Industrialation progam continues and military also begins to build up just for defence.

Qing Dynasty: In January, there was a giant fire in the Forbidden City. The fire started in the imperial garden and quickly spread throughout the entire complex. Although Emperor Tongzhi escaped in relative safety, Empress Dowager Cixi was dead, as are 8700 eunuchs and concubines. The fire spread through Beijing City, destroying large amounts of housing and killing another 20,000, including many officials. Hence, Tongzhi was forced to move to Nanking and reside in the Forbidden City of Nanjing, while Beijing was rebuilt. There, he associated himself with many foreign merchants, who resided in nearby Shanghai. Moreover, to rebuild Beijing, he was forced to ask for a loan from HSBC, Standard Chartered and Barclays Bank. The Emperor also began using more open-minded officials, who are from the sea-faring provinces of the Yangtze River, rather than nobility, who hadn't moved from their Northern Chinese homes. These western-minded officials, coupled with the need to improve industrial output to repay the debt forced Tongzhi to begin a series of social reforms. First, he stripped nobility of their land rights and leased it to peasants. However, the peasants have to give a higher tax to the government for their own land. Moreover, he began the planting of cash crops in the traditional less-arable regions. First, Sinkiang became a planting region of grapes, which are turned into wine for trade with foreign nations. In the wetter parts of China, sugarcane and coffee are being planted. More laws were passed, including the first ever Chinese law that allowed private ownership. This made peasants work harder, since before that, all land belonged to the emperor and there was no motivation for work. In June, to promote more artisans and merchants to increase social wealth, Tongzhi officially used the ranking Shi-Shang-Gong-Nong (Official - Merchant-Artisan-Farmer) rather than Shi-Nong-Gong-Shan (Official-Farmer-Artisan-Merchant). We improve our economy score by 0.25, after we received 10% more than the taxes last year in August. We begin reforming our military and we build an arsenal in Beijing, Nanjing and Guanzhou. We also begin work on a railroad from Harbin to Guanzhou and we begin asking foreign companies to assist us.

Japan: The trade agreement with Brazil helps in westernizing the country, but they need more. ''' A trade agreement to Britain and France  is asked for again. '''The military is improving, with gun industries creating better weaponry then previously owned. The general public is kept happy with there mopre modernized lifestile, and aa sence of nationalism sweeps through the country. The plan for all healthy men to serve five years is implemented in a few cities such as kyoto and tokyo at first because the process of modernizing and having a strong industry isn't nearly completed and Japan is still behind the west. Navy improves by 0.50.
 * French Diplomacy (My Bad): We accept the trade agreement.

Portugal: We decide to start building up on military and spend on military forces, '''upgrading our military by 0.50. '''A Portuguese scientist successfully discovers penincillin by accident after a little attempt to experiment with bacterium. We begin to use this to our knowledge to develop vaccines for smallpox, ebola and polio. We also begin a massive spending on infrastructure to industrialize the country. We decide to name a successor known as Alfonso Salazo of Braganza as the successor to the throne and refuse the Brazilian claim to our throne.
 * Brazilian Dip: We demand one more time that Portugal recognize Dom Pedro II as the legitimate successor to the claim of the Portuguese throne or it will mean a war of succession that most know Brazil will win as the power of Portugal has waned considerably.
 * Spain D: We ask that Portugal join the MDC and we ask to buy part of North Angola
 * Portuguese Diplomacy: We are not going to be vassalized by our own colony so we refuse to recognize the new successor. However, we will give you the penicillin discovery.
 * Pretty sure spain buying any Portuguese colonies is grossly implausible. &#35;LivinLikeFeudal (talk)
 * You are not allowed to randomly invent Penicillin. Smallpox was already vaccinated for. Ebola was discovered in 1976, Polio was first vaccinated in 1952. Ed, can you deal with it? Mafia (talk) 18:50, September 22, 2013 (UTC)

Denmark: We have started our factories making cannons and will make an estimated 10,000 for sale to other countries such as England, Spain, Portugal and any other nations or empires in Europe willing to form a trade alliance with us. We have also started building a wall that will separate a section of ocean in Iceland and we will run a system of pipes to heat the section of ocean with the natural hot water springs located on the island. Anyone wanting to go on a holiday in any Country is allowed to use this area when it is finished, we estimate completion in one year.

France: The population awaits the death of the current French monarch as the republic government still rules in his self-imposed abscence. The policy of inflating the French Franc continues to counter increasing deflation. Another policy is establish, which allows employees to take over a former bosses business if they fled France, or any city, in the wake of the Franco-Prussian War. In order to protect more colonial shipments, both in arms and non-military supplies, we upgrade our navy by 0.50 through several reforms aimed at increasing the amount of ships in service, and better training for sailors, rather than just "on the job" war training.


 * French Equatoral Africa: Through continental French shipments, the colonial armies become better armed and uniformed, in order to enforce French law and assimilation upon the native populations. The colonial government begins to "hand out" assimilation rights, which actually require a renouncement of current land holdings, allowing for the colonial government to take hold of lands, and "civilize" the natives.

 * French Indochina: Continental French shipments allow for the large colonial armies to become better armed and uniformed. Soldiers are stationed near the Sino-Indochinese border as support for expansion of the French colonial provinces and catholic faith is advocated for by the governor of the colony.
 * French Guiana: Continental French shipments allow for the larger colonial armies to become better armed and unformed. Guard presence is increase as more prisoners are sent to the colony. More French immigants arrive to the colony, prompting the governor to expand the city of Cayenne to account for more ships coming to French Guiana.

Spain: We upgrade our navy by 0.25. Article I: Every black family shall only be allowed one child.
 * Swiss Diplomacy: We again request to purchase a 25 mile wide strip of land to the ocean in order to construct a port city. We offer 12 million Swiss Francs and 30,000 Vetteri rifles.
 * French Diplomacy: The regency council refuses this purchase, saying that Swiss military buildup and wanton requests to other nations do not aid our decision to their favor.
 * Brazilian Dip: We ask for trade with the nation of France hoping to sell rubber, coffee and mutiple agricultural goods to France.
 * French Diplomacy: We decline the trade agreement due to their current war, as the regency council wishes not to be too involved in one side or the other while the war continues.
 * Cuba: Cuba begins construction on a large Spanish navy.
 * New Catolnia: New Barcelona grows as 10,000 Spanish citzens are recruited to move to New Barcelona with each newcomer being payed 10,000 USD. SECRET: The governor, against the wishes of the people and the Spanish government, begins a top secret move that no one knows about. The move is to install a racist society. He establishes a secret police that gives out a secret constitution to the blacks.

Article II: If a Spainiard wants it he gets it.

Article III: Blacks must have a pass to live in New Catolinia.

Article IV: This only applies to people in the claimed grounds of New Catolinia (OTL Equtorial Guinies).

Britain: As Portugal makes an unlawful heir, we declare war. We land a huge force of troops at Gibraltar, and march them across Spanish Land to Portugal. We launch an assault on Lisbon. Casus Belli: Political Blunder, Objective: Free People

 * US D: We send military and medical supplies to aid the British Invasion of Lisbon.
 * Swiss Diplomacy: We request that all sides back out, and offer to host peace talks rather than a war be fought.
 * Spainish D: We blockade Gibrater to stop the Brittish from attacking. Multiple Brittish men are held captive for illigale entrace. We sendsupplies to the porugesse.
 * Switzerland Diplomacy: We protest the war, and again request peace and offer to host talks.
 * British Diplomacy: Following the Spanish unlawful ATTEMPT to arrest our army (How would you go about arresting an army Oct?), we declare war on them also. After the Spanish Blockade Gibraltar, we declare war.

Austria-Hungary: We accept the offer from Russia and Germany to create the League of the Three Emperors. We also begin upgrading our military, increasing our score by 0.50. Railroads from the west begin to spread to cover much of the empire, increasing mobility across our nation. Over the last few decades private interests have conducted almost all rail construction. The northern and western parts of the nation have gained about 7,952 km (4,941 mi) of track, and Hungary has built almost 5,839 km (3,628 mi) of track. Many cities and towns join the railway system and the existing rail networks gain several connections and interconnections. Widespread rail transportation begins to become common, and also the integration of transportation systems in the area. We increase our army score by 0.50.

Germany: With the German constitution adopted by the Reichstag less than one year ago, the foundations for the new parliament are in place. Universal male suffrage allows for many diverse political views to be expressed in the new parliament. We begin a rapid expansion of industry to catch up to other European powers. The steel giant Krupp continues to grow to become one of the largest steel manufacturers in Europe, improving our national economy, thanks in large part to the protection from American and British competition afforded by tariffs and cartels. Coal plants are expanded to locally power our nation. Important mines along the valleys of the rivers Ruhr, Inde, and Wurm are modernized to be safer and more efficient. Numerous small industrial centres begin to spring up, focusing on ironworks using local coal. Our iron and steel works begin buying mines, and erecting coking ovens to supply their own requirements in coke and gas. These integrated coal-iron firms ("Huettenzechen") became numerous with the growth of the industrial sector. The average output of a mine in 1850 was about 8,500 short tons; its employment about 64. We hope to grow these numbers, drastically increasing our output. Total Ruhr coal output rose from 2.0 million short tons in 1850, and is expected to rise to 22 by 1880.The miners in the Ruhr region are divided by ethnicity with Germans and Poles, and religion with Protestants and Catholics, splitting the miners into several unions, with an affiliation to different political parties. Mobility in and out of the mining camps to nearby industrial areas is high. German banks begin to play a central roles in financing German industry. Different banks form cartels in different industries, and Cartel contracts become accepted as legal and binding by German courts, although illegal in Britain and the United States. The process of cartelization begins slowly, but the cartel movement is expected to rise. The government plays a powerful role in the industrialization of the German Empire, during a period known as the Second Industrial Revolution. We supported not only heavy industry but also crafts and trades, to maintain prosperity in all parts of the empire. Local procedures are put in place, so even where the national government does not act, the highly autonomous regional and local governments are expected to support their own industries. Each state is expected to be as self-sufficient as possible. Railroads become crucial in the transfer of German goods across Europe, and modern engines begin to replace outdated models in our nation. Bismarck’s new tariffs on imported grain and the introduction of the sugar beet as a main crop helps to grow agricultural yield. Farmers begin to abandon traditional, inefficient practices, adapting modern farming practices, such as the use of new fertilizers and tools. The knowledge and tools gained from the intensive farming of sugar and other root crops helps to quickly elevate Germany to one of the most efficient agricultural producers in Europe. With the economic push toward industrialization and urbanization, heavy industry (coal and steel especially) become important in the Ruhr, and manufacturing growing in the cities, the Ruhr, and Silesia. Based on its leadership in chemical research in the universities and industrial laboratories, we begin to become dominant in the world's chemical industry. Big businesses such as BASF and Bayer led the way in their production and distribution of artificial dyes and pharmaceuticals during the Wilhelmine era, leading to the German monopolisation of the global chemicals market. A nation wide currency is planned to be introduced known as the German Goldmark, which will eventually replace the Vereinsthaler, South German Gulden, Bremen Thaler, Hamburg Mark, French Franc, and other local currencies, beginning new economic unity. The German Army is expanded with the goal of using ground and sea assets to protect the German Empire, and its interests. The armies of the former German Confederacy states are placed under the control of Prussia, while the contingents of the Bavarian, Saxon and Württemberg kingdoms remain semi-autonomous. The term "German Army" begins to be used in various legal documents such as the Military Penal Code, but otherwise the Prussian, Bavarian, Saxon and Württemberg armies maintain distinct identities, under the command of Chief of the German General Staff Helmuth von Moltke. Supreme command of the navy is vested in the emperor, but its first appointed chief is Infantry General Albrecht von Stosch. Kiel on the Baltic Sea and Wilhelmshaven on the North Sea become the Navy's principal naval bases. Initially the main task of the new Imperial Navy is to ensure coastal protection. The Imperial Navy's tasks are then to prevent any invasion force from landing and to protect coastal towns from possible bombardment. We open a German Imperial Naval Academy at Kiel for training officers, followed in May by the creation of a 'Machine Engineer Corps', and we plan to create a 'Medical Corps' by early 1873. We begin a ten year program to institute the modernise of the fleet. Our new plan calls for the creation of eight armoured frigates, six armoured corvettes, twenty light corvettes, seven monitors, two floating batteries, six avisos, eighteen gunboats and twenty-eight torpedo boats, at an estimated cost of 220 million gold marks. The building plan is approved by the Reichstag, which controlls the allocation of funds, although one-quarter of the money came from French war reparations, allowing the modernization of our fleet to begin. We also hope to begin the colonization of Africa, although we first wish to expand our naval capabilities. We are glad the League of the Three Emperors is now in place.. We also ask for a trade agreement and an alliance with Italy, Switzerland, the Netherlands, Belgium, Denmark, and Sweden. We upgrade our army score by 0.50.

CSA: We build our indsutry by 0.5. We begin to rebuild the country and restore internal trade. We offer an allaince to France and Mexico. Virginia is the first state to pass an Emancipation Law, making every child born after January 1st, 1874 free of chains.

1874
British troops in Gibraltor are currently suffering supply shortages due to the Spanish blockade of the small territory.

'''What? Are you genuinely saying that the Spanish could blockade Gibraltar? They couldn't. Not even slightly.'''

'''Russian miners in Alaska have found gold within the rural territory. Leaders of Russia are feeling less obliged to sell this piece of land and protect it against other nations. '''

Due to a fire in China in the Forbidden City, more than 20,000 lives were lost.

'''German and Austrian leaders begin to feel threatened due to Switzerlands unnecesary build up on the border. Political cabinets of the German Empire and Austria-Hungary urge their leaders to send troops to counteract any possible invasion from the small nation.'''

'''Many Serbs in Herzegovinia begin to riot against their Ottoman rulers. Resistance groups have risen up, many smuggling weapons.'''

Upgrading has now changed to 0.25 by every other turn.

Mexico: We respond to the US' offer to join the Pan-American Coalition and we accpet their offer, we hope that this will bring future prosperity to Mexico. We increase our industry by 0.25.

United States of America D: We are happy that Mexico has joined the Pan-American Coaltition and we seek to have years of cooperation and developement between Mexico, Brazil, and the United States, We send left over weapons from the civil war and open up trade with Mexico.

Qing Dynasty D: We ask to purchase 3 cruisers.

Joseon: The infrastructure is improved. Some more Confucian, Buddhist, and Taoist Temples are built.

Qing Dynasty: We ask for a military base in Hwaseong and a navy base in Incheon.

Switzerland: We continue to construct reinforcements, but withdrawal the troops back into the nation. We leave 1,500 troops at the French-Switzerland border (Down from 23,000); 6000 troops on the German-Switzerland border (Down from 40,000); 1000 on the Italian-Swiss border (Down from 7000); and 5000 at the Austria-Hungary border (Down from 21,000; including 2000 in Liechtenstein).

Empire of Brazil: The Emperor Dom Pedro II while continually dreading his role as emperor continues his war against the Kingdom on Portugal intent on leaving the Empire strong and seeing the Monarchy continue. Realizing this He makes a speech to his people declaring his intent to see his monarchy continue with his future grandson and shows that taking Portugal and her colonies will be extremely beneficial. With this The people agree and show a national resolve not seen since the nations independance all those years ago. The Economy continues to increase with rubber exports increasing exponentially with Brazil maintaining almost a direct monopoly over the export of rubber worldwide as the Amazon is one of the few places Naturally occuring rubber can be cultivated which is used in many things relating to industry which is co-incidentally exported to the US and Great Britain primarily allowing the reaping of huge profit. More Brazilian settlers arrive in Acre, which continues to fall heavily under Brazilian settlement and control. The rubber industry now dominant in Brazil and the Railroad system being contructed, allows for cheap rubber to be sold in Brazilm with Brazilian Industry profiting exponentially as the expansion is made much easier by this. Some Iron Companies become more involved in Steel production but their direct sale to the navy is allowing for the easier construction of Ironclad warships of the Brazilian navy. The Population of Brazil reaches 11.2 million.

With the War in Portugal continuing and Great Britain's attack yet to come, the Brazilian armed forces pay/recruit 5000 more mercenaries from multiple countries preparing for a massive attack on the City of Porta. With this the Brazilian navy bolstered by Reinforcements from the homeland bring the navy around Portugal to a grand total of 38 warships. The 20,000 troops are used in a mass amphibious invasion of Porta with the navy running interference to prevent the Portuguese from harassing the invasion forces. Almost 20 ships are used to support the Assault on Porta directly with some support from the United States and the British Empire. With this assault across the sea the navy acquires another ten warships only half of which are ironclads, to be sent on an escort mission with another 5000 troops to re-inforce the other forces of Brazil moving on Portugal currently. (Algo complete) With the City of Porto secured and much of the northern areas of Portugal secured along with it due to the relatively small numbers of the Portuguese armed forces. A front is set up to push from Northern Portugal to Southern Portugal. The people of Porto and the northern parts of the country are treated well with food and supplies provided to them and people allowed generally free movement throughout the city with little questioning. as the Soldiers are only interested in keeping the peace rather than oppressing the people. Multiple Portuguese ships are seized in the port and appropriated for the Brazilian navy as well.

The Empire also continues its expansion in Gabon with profitable trade occuring between Brazil and the natives and some soldiers preventing Slave traders from taking slaves. This increased trade and work to prevent the slaving increases the prestige of the Brazilians in the area. Along with the increase in the Brazilian colony, the Empire begins preparing an exploratory expedition throughout Gabon expected to take place in 1876. The Brazilian colony becomes the temporary home to 2000 mobolized soldiers of the Navy and Army from Brazil proper intent on going to the Portuguese trading outposts/minor colonies in Africa. The Empire continually phases out its usage of slavery with many moderate and lower end echelons of slave owners now paid off. '''Brazilian Soldiers escort the French explorers in the Amazon for their own safety, and to prevent them from taking anything they shouldnt be from the forest. It is not an option for the party'''


 * US D: We send supplies, 5000 soldiers, and 15 warships to aid the Brazilian invasion of Portugal.

Italy: We declare our neutrality in the current european diplomatic crisis we also begin building up our navy by 0.25 our goverment also states that it's open to any trade with anyone.

United States of America: Industrial build up, agricultural expansion, rebuilding of damaged towns/farms, production of steam ships, and construction of the Transcontinental railroad, the build up of the Lincoln line on the Union-Confederate border, and economic, military, and anti-slavery cooperation with the Empire of Brazil and Mexico all continue. '''With the recent acquisition of 21 million dollars we invest it all in industry and thus increase our industrial score by 0.25. '''
 * Swiss Diplomacy: We request to purchase a strip of land to construct a port. We offer to pay 30 million Swiss Francs and 29,000 Vetteri Bolt Action Rifles.
 * Italian D: Very well we accept this offer.
 * Swiss Diplomacy: We thank the Italians for accepting the purchase. Since both our nations are neutral, we offer a neutrality pact to supply one another if the other is invaded.
 * Italian D: We accept and hope that this will help both nations.
 * Swiss Diplomacy: We request to purchase the USS Catskills (1862), the USS Wyendotta (1864), and the USS Nantucket (1862) for 21 million US Dollars.
 * American Diplomacy: We accept the Swiss offer.

France: The popularity of a constitutional monarchy begins to wane as time goes on and the current French monarch has yet to die. As such, the inability of the French Regency government to effectively rule for any extended period of time leads to the creation of the '''French Third Republic. '''Three acts are quickly passed through the council, establishing a senate, the organization of the government as a whole, and the relationship between governments. At its apex was a  President of the Republic. A two-chamber parliament. featuring a directly elected Chamber of Deputies  and an indirectly elected Senate  is created, along with a ministry under the "President of the Council", who is nominally answerable to both the President of the Republic and parliament. Patrice de Mac-Mahon is appointed President of the Republic, and Jules Simon is appointed to Prime Minister of the French Parliament. In order to secure support from the people in the new republican government, railroads and schools become a top priority for construction, especially in the lacking rural areas of France. Plans for military reforms are to take place within the next year. More opportunities are given for colonists to travel, the government encouraging immigration to the colonies, for missionaries and businessmen alike by offering to pay for a quarter of their travel fees. Denmark: We will accept the trade alliance offered by Germany and as an act of good faith we send a wagon of supplies containing; Steel, Flour, Gunpowder, Leather and, if they need any help, 300 soldiers to help ease the tension between Germany and Switzerland. We hope that this trade alliance will benefit both of our countries in the present and the future. Qing Dynasty: The rebuild of the forbidden city continues as the major gates were finished. The emperor added new designs, where he wanted an imperial museum and a western-themed Building for foreign-treaties to be signed in. He also asked to build another department, The Department of Westernization. The nobles finally move to Nanking, although they have fell out of favour to the western-minded officials. We begin dispatching teams of 100 people, taught English from Jesuits, to Britain, France, Prussia, Italy, Spain, United States of America, Austro-Hungary and Russia to learn Western Customs. Tongzhi Emperor makes a speech to the people, declaring his intent to let China to reemerge as a nation more powerful than any European nations and one that can defend itself against all wars against Europe. He also begin promoting legalism, which promoted change in contrast to the stagnating Confucianism. The economy continues expanding as the country makes its first rubber, coffee and wine exports. We begin planting rubber in Southern China for export and industrial uses. As the number of merchants and skilled artisans increase, we begin approaching British train-rail companies for the construction of a trans-Chinese railroad.
 * French Equatoral Africa: Through continental French shipments, the colonial armies become better armed and uniformed, in order to enforce French law and assimilation upon the native populations. The colonial government begins to "hand out" assimilation rights, which actually require a renouncement of current land holdings, allowing for the colonial government to take hold of lands, and "civilize" the natives.
 * French Dahomey: Continental French shipments allow  for the small colonial army to become better armed and uniformed in the wake of recent Dahomey Kingdom raids, which sets much of the coastal colony on edge for a possible war to break out between the formally friendly colony and nation.
 * New Caledonia: Continental French shipments allow for the small colonial police force to become better armed and uniformed in the wake of recent waves of european immigration from the discovery of nickel in 1864. Since then, colonial population has been ever increasing, and native population slowly decreasing, although tensions are very high.
 * French Senegal: Continental French shipments allow for the colonies armies to become better armed and uniformed. The doctrine of missionary work and abolitionism is still promoted as preparations for another war with the remaining Sengali chiefdoms begins in order to curtail their slave trade and end their pagan practices, as well as gain access to numerous mining ventures.
 * French Indochina: Continental French shipments allow for the large colonial armies to become better armed and uniformed. Soldiers are stationed near the Sino-Indochinese border as support for expansion of the French colonial provinces and catholic faith is advocated for by the governor of the colony.
 * French Guiana: Continental French shipments allow for the larger colonial armies to become better armed and unformed. Guard presence is increase as more prisoners are sent to the colony. More French immigants arrive to the colony, prompting the governor to expand the city of Cayenne to account for more ships coming to French Guiana. Several French explorers are sent into the Amazon to document the various wildlife and plants, and are instructed to bring back both animals (Dead or alive), and plants and their seeds.
 * French Diplomacy (Needs Mod Reponse): In order  to allieviate Egyptian financial troubles (Which held a debt of over 45,000,000 pounds sterling before the game began), we offer to purchase all 176,602 Egyptian shares in the Suez Canal for 25,000,000 pounds sterling.
 * Swiss Diplomacy: We are fortifying our borders against foreign invasion, and will not violate other nations sovergnty. We request a non-aggression pact with Denmark.

To modernize Chinese thinking, Tongzhi promoted legalism as opposed to Confucianism and gives a law to change 50% of the schools in China to teach science, mechanics and for richer schools, a foreign language. The Emperor orders an entire ship full of books on Western thinking to educate the court. The Emperor also commissioned the contruction of the University of Beijing, the first Westernized University in China.

We begin modernizing our military and we start by buying a cargo of 100 rifles from Prussian Arms Dealers. Then, our entire imperial science association was devoted on studying the rifles to reproduce them. Meanwhile, we have mastered the art of constructing muskets. The Department of Military commissioned three arms factory making ammunition in Tiangjing, Guanzhou and Wuhan. We also contruct naval bases in Tamsui, Shanghai, Shengzhen and Qingdao. We begin developing naval ships as we send iron and coal from Shangxxi to Shangdong, where they are built into tiny battleships. We begin studying the ways to build a battleship and we plan to reverse engineer bought battleships, dreadnoghts and cruisers. We begin to send 30 students every year to foreign nations to educate them. Our army begin promoting professionalism as we begin firing criminals banded into armies and begin offering a salary for military work. We hope to reach an army of 600,000 by 1876 and 1,000,000 by 1885. We begin to have large amounts of drills in the military and those who fail will be kicked out. We begin projecting our military power throughout our sub-states and we begin to build a province militia.

Learning about the colonization progress of European powers, Tongzhi also would like to establish Chinese colonies and he set his eyes on the Great Lakes region of Africa.

Battleships, dreadnoughts, and cruisers weren't really made until the near end of the Victorian Era.

CSA: We build our indsutry by 0.25. We continue to rebuild the country and restore internal trade. We offer an allaince to France and Mexico. North Carolina passes an Emacnipation Bill similiar to Virginias. The first free black is born in Virginia.

With the officials in Qing questioning the modernization, and the preaching of legalism over Confucianism, Meji sees this as a golden opportunity. Secretly men are sent over there to organize these people wishing to go back to the ways of the old empire, in hopes of causing a revolution. This is popular among peasants and officials disagreeing with  westernization. Arms given to us from the west are given to these revolutionaries. More ships and men are stationed in the east china sea. Reforms continue,  giving more power to Meji.

Empire of Brazil: With the Success in Portugal the Emperor is delighted to hear that his daughter has had a son establishing direct line to the Brazilian Throne. He gives a speech which in fact highlights the many accomplishments of the empire as of late including the securing of Portugal and its throne now very close to being tied with Brazil's. The Emperor also tells his people with delight that the Brazilian throne can continue as his Grandson recently born inherits the title to the throne to be assumed when he is considered of Age. With this the People of Brazil are delighted and with the recent successes of the Empire the economy begins to increase. rubber, coffee, rice, wheat, and beef exports continue their expansion with profit being pulled in heavily. The Railroad system is continued with rubber plantations now being linked into the network of railways which allows from their quick transportation towards the coast for export. '''This increase in exports increases our economy by 0.25. '''The population of the Empire of Brazil reaches 11.9 million with population growth continueing to expand.

Following the Battle of Porta and securing Northern Portugal and with the British securing Lisbon the Brazilian armed forces land another 30,000 troops in Lisbon taking control of the city along with the British and deploying all throughout Central and Southern Portugal allowing for the full occupation of the country. Any surviving rebels in the Country are kept fully isolated with Brazilian forces putting them down whenever possible. The Occupation of Portugal is undertaken with near 45,000 soldiers of the Brazilian armed forces with the 5000 US soldiers left in Porta for light duty and transportation home whenever requested by their government. The people are treated relatively nicely and trade within Portugal is monitored highly but isnt heavily restricted allowing people to move around preventing the look that an aggressive dictatorship has taken control of their country. However, in ports and military areas equipment such as cannons, rifles and even full scale warships are seized by the Brazilian military for use by their own forces, to cut down the costs on supplies. Trader ships are finally allowed to leave with large payments made out to them to make up for the loss of profit from the distraction from their trade missions. Brazil, however, still limits civilian travel between Brazil and Portugal still saying its dangerous. Along with the Occupation of Portugal all of her colonies are occupied as well with 2000 troops sent to Angola and Mozambique respectively, with about 500 troops for Goa, East Timor respectively. The Occupation of Portugal has commenced.

The Colony of Gabon continues to expand with about 600 Brazilian nationals living there full time. The colony does begin to expand to include some African peoples who were saved from slavers. The Slave program in Brazil is slowly paid off as well with more slaves being released into their freedom with the possibly of all the slaves being freed by 1880. The Brazilian armed forces especially the navy continues its research into the Turret Main and Secondary battery systems. More ships are built specificially ironclads.

Denmark: After several years of having a small defence force in our country we decide to start increasing our number of soldiers from 1000 to 10,000. This will be a Defence force only but in times of strife for either us or our allies it will become a small army. We are also making a police force that will have access to flintlock pistols and will take the soldiers job of guarding the streets. This will result in less crime while the bulk of the defence force is away. We have started building a building in Copenhagen, this building will be a large Diplomacy building containing all the current alliances and treaties in the world and it will be constantly updated.

Switzerland: We begin to construct a port on the recently purchased territory in Italy. Much of the plains and flat land in Switzerland is used for farming. We continue to design the new artillery piece, and plan to construct 3 more ironclads from the US designs.

The army continues to withdraw from the borders of the surrounding nations, and fortifications continue to be built, with forts and defenses starting to be constructed in the Alps as a secondary defense. Underground bunkers are constructed along with hidden artillery spots, and areas for snipers.

Italy: The Democratic movement rises within the country which makes minor protests begin. We also begin to build a port in the South Eastern part of the mainland. A few ships are secretly sent out to colonize parts of  Western Africa for our nation of Italy.

Spain: A new program called revive de armada begins. Navy Upgraded By 0.25
 * Cuba: 5 New ironclads run out, and countless more are being made.
 * New Catalonia The official size of the colony reaches 15,000. The corrupt governor Cèsar secretly creates a fake terrorist attack where his secret police kill 12 civilians blaming it on the Fang ethnic group. The Spanish send troops to help.

'''There is no way you can build that many ironclads in about a year. Give it about three years just for one at this time period.'''

Furthermore, self-destruction of your nation is prohibited and against the rules, also a colony cannot just immediately have a large population in only three years. User:Edboy452    (talk) 23:39, September 23, 2013 (UTC)

United States of America: As a direct result of of the 21 million USD investment into industry there is a huge industrial boom across the nation with a sudden surge of coal, iron, and steel factories in the nation. Because of all these new factories there are new jobs in which people can work and with this money people spend on food, drink and shelter. Because of more people buying food farmers are more successful and thus further expand their farms in order to feed more people and get more money. The construction of the transcontinental railroad is in its final stages and should be complete by next year. Economic, military, and freedom cooperation with Mexico and Brazil continue. We congradulate the Empire of Brazil's success over Portugal as it is the first time ever a former colony came back and took over the main state of the empire and we also thank the British for their cooperation. As such American and British relations increase postively.
 * Sweden-Norway: We ask for a trade agreement to better strengthen our realtions and to better each nations economy.

Russia: Gold miners in Alaska continue to extract gold out of large deposits within the Earth in the territory. With this large amount of profit made from this raw material, large military expansion has started, with the priorities of researching new weapons, ships, and equipment. Dry docks have been ordered to construct three large armored cruisers of the General-Admiral class which will complete in about five years. Other ships that are currently on order are about ten screw corvettes that are going to range in different classes (Not ten of each class). Due to the naval build up our navy score increases by 0.25. Our leader asks the Empire of Brazil whether are ships are still allowed to dock at Portugal or not to prevent political schisms.


 * Empire of Brazil Dip: We respond that we are waiting for the situation to calm down. However, we do wish to establish relations in the near future with Russia for trade, and co-operation.
 * Russian Diplomacy: We will accept a trade agreement and a non-aggression pact.
 * Sweden-Norway Diplomacy:  We ask to be able to join the Russian, German, Austrian alliance in hope that it will benifit the nations of central and eastern Europe. We also ask for a trade agreement to better strengthen our relations. We state now that we will not be asking for the Finnish region back off of the Russian Empire and we hope to support Europes major nations.
 * Russian Empire Diplomacy: Your nation is not led by an emperor. (Hence the name the League of Three Emperors, the name of the alliance).

It would be implausible for the United Kingdoms of Sweden and Norway to even join an alliance with the Russian Empire without making large political movements since the Russian Empire conquered large parts of Sweden in the 1700s and early 1800s. User:Edboy452    (talk) 19:47, September 24, 2013 (UTC)

United Kingdoms of Sweden and Norway: We make it once again a high priority to protect and make the people of the Norwegien region feel as if they are part of a strong unification between Sweden and Norway. We give lots more educational and economical advantages to the Norwegien peoples including military support by our navy. Farms and mining areas are being established across our nation. We begin urther development of naval yards including trade yards. We announce that we support the United States not the confederate states by offering a trade agreement.

France: The current French Patrice de Mac-Mahon, a monarchist who favors putting the French kings back onto the throne, makes one final attempt to revive the monarchy in the wake of the Republic. He dismisses President of the Republic, Jules Simon, replaces him with Monarchist leader Duc de Broglie. He then dissolves the Parliament and sets up for national elections in October to decide whether or not a monarchy will be established or not. His plan backfires, and he is accused of a ''constitutional coup d'etat. ''Due to his sudden upopularity from his actions, the Opportunist Republican party becomes the majority in the parliament after the October elections lead to Opportunist Republican majority. He remains President of the Republic, however, but current debates rage whether or not to firmly limit the power of the President. With the Opportunist Republicans in power, they quickly begin work to establish themselves and the Third Republic, passing the Jules Ferry Laws, which allow for free, mandatory, and secular education. Railroads and new public schools continue to be a priority for the French government. Reforms in the military are delayed by one year for the recent political controversies, but '''our economy upgrades by 0.25 from increased profit and travel to our colonies.

 * French Equatoral Africa: Through continental French shipments, the colonial armies become better armed and uniformed, in order to enforce French law and assimilation upon the native populations. The colonial government begins to "hand out" assimilation rights, which actually require a renouncement of current land holdings, allowing for the colonial government to take hold of lands, and "civilize" the natives. The colony begins expansion to the south, beginning with missionary work, then French colonial volunteers.
 * French Dahomey: The French 12th Foreign Legion is established in French Dahomey and the 19th Army Corp sends more soldiers to French Dahomey, in order to protect the colonists against the increasingly aggressive Dahomey Kingdoms. 
 * New Caledonia: Continental French shipments allow for the small colonial police force to become better armed and uniformed in the wake of recent waves of european immigration from the discovery of nickel in 1864. Since then, colonial population has been ever increasing, and native population slowly decreasing, although tensions are very high.
 * French Senegal: Continental French shipments allow for the colonies armies to become better armed and uniformed. The doctrine of missionary work and abolitionism is still promoted as preparations for another war with the remaining Sengali chiefdoms begins in order to curtail their slave trade and end their pagan practices, as well as gain access to numerous mining ventures.
 * French Indochina: Continental French shipments allow for the large colonial armies to become better armed and uniformed. Soldiers are stationed near the Sino-Indochinese border as support for expansion of the French colonial provinces and catholic faith is advocated for by the governor of the colony.
 * French Guiana: Continental French shipments allow for the larger colonial armies to become better armed and unformed. Guard presence is increase as more prisoners are sent to the colony. More French immigants arrive to the colony, prompting the governor to expand the city of Cayenne to account for more ships coming to French Guiana. Out of the thirty-five French explorers that went on the expedition, fifteen died in the whole expedition. They return to French Guiana, and travel back to France, with about three thousand different plant seeds, two-hundred and fifty of these being the Amazonian Hevea rubber tree, and one hundred of these being the Cinchona Officinalis tree.\

''That is like me getting an armed patrol for every explorer of the Sahara Desert. Also, I don't believe the expeditioners made public their venture. Also, you posted the "Armed Guards" for my expedition team AFTER I made my turn, which was after your turn. You can't try to adapt your turn willy-nilly. If you could, what's the use of having new turns? Eiplec - ಠ_ಠ (talk) 22:05, September 24, 2013 (UTC)'' Qing Dynasty: The rebuild of the forbidden city continues as the major palace was finished. The government begin collecting Chinese art and sculptures for the museum while Lee Hong Zhnag became the head of the newly formed Department of Westernization. To counter against the questioning politicians, we show them how our taxes have risen and that we have replenished the royal coffers. More importantly, we have increased in our military skill and have made Westerners willing to talk with us. We learnt more from European powers, especially the economical fruit of capitalism from Great Britain. Thus, we raise our economy score by 0.25. Tongzhi Emperor makes another speech to the people, declaring his intentrekindle legalism in China and allow China to turn into a powerful nations with a strong law binding its people. He talked about the promised glory of wealth of the future China and sowed the seeds of hope into the people. The economy continues expanding as the country makes its first rubber, coffee and wine exports. We begin selling more cash crops as it replenished our royal coffers and allowed more people to not die of hunger. We ask Great Britain to support us in building a trans-China railroad.
 * French Diplomacy (Needs Mod Reponse): In order  to allieviate Egyptian financial troubles (Which held a debt of over 45,000,000 pounds sterling before the game began), we offer to purchase all 176,602 Egyptian shares in the Suez Canal for 25,000,000 pounds sterling.

To modernize Chinese thinking, Tongzhi promoted legalism as opposed to Confucianism and gives a law to change 50% of the schools in China to teach science, mechanics and for richer schools, a foreign language. He ordered the reorganization and translation of Wesern science books and replaced Doctrine of Men by Han Fei Zhi, a legalist classic. To counter the people against legalism, we wrote new laws against corrption and it satisfied the peasants, who were angry about wide-spread corruption.

We begin modernizing our military and we start by buying a cargo of 100 rifles from Prussian Arms Dealers. TWe continue learning how to reproduce muskets. Much more naval bases, ammunition factories, arms factories and arsenals are built in major cities and major ports. We begin developing naval ships as we send iron and coal from Shangxxi to Shangdong, where they are built into tiny battleships. We continue studying the ways to build iron steamboats. Students are sent to foreign nations, where their main goal is to study mechanics and the sciences. Our volunteer army has reached 200,000 men and it is steadily increasing every month. We hope to reach an army of 600,000 by 1876 and 1,000,000 by 1885. We begin to have large amounts of drills in the military and those who fail will be kicked out. We begin projecting our military power throughout our sub-states and we begin to build a province militia. To counter the Japanese movement of troops into East China Sea, we ask Joseon if we can establish a naval base of Jeju Island. We also establish larger naval fleets in Shanghai and Taipei and have routine drills on the East China Sea.

Learning about the colonization progress of European powers, Tongzhi also would like to establish Chinese colonies and he set his eyes on the Great Lakes region of Africa. We begin organizing colonizers, promising free land.

Netherlands: More factories are build and due to the recent military buildup, we ugrade it with 0.25. More of Indonesia is colonized and more expedition are sent out.

Japan: Secret funding of the peasants movement in the Qing Dynasty continues, the group being popular among the poor, minorities, and people opposing the legalism over Confucianism stance. They fund nonviolent protests around the nation, while secretly stockpiling of guns. The buildup along the East China Sea continues, but China is reassured that this is only for defense purposes. Meji is scared of the bases put in Japan and sees it as a threat to national security. The military continues to grow and guns and other weaponry continue to be bought from western dealers. The economy continues to improve.

Joseon: The infrastructure is improved. Some more Confucian, Buddhist and Taoist temples are built.

Italy:  The king dies from a disease. However, the Democratic movement grows so much that a Democratic election is held instead of choosing the king's eldest son.

Empire of Brazil: With the war in Portugal over, and the occupation going about smoothly of Portugal proper and all her former colonies, The Empire begins to invest in increased trade between Brazilian business, and Portuguese business, using the trade expertise and finesse of the Portuguese former trade empire, and Brazils rising industrial strength a large inter-imperial network is set up bringing in large profit to Brazil as well as the wealth of Brazil being allowed to semi flood to Portugal, and the Empires new colonies. The Empire begins to encourage increased settlement of all population types to the colonies intent on turning formerly small population colonies such as Angola and Mozambique into a Paradise in Africa. The mass exodus of former slaves in Brazil particularly move to these areas intent on creating a new life for themselves. The government also begins a Quota of at least 10,000 people per year moving to the colonies intent on securing population growth throughout. The Former nation of Portugal in general is treated well with full civil liberties and a new constitution is drafted and put in place within months copying the Brazilian constitution highly, and establishing Portugal inside the Empire. The new investment into Portugal begins putting Portugal on track for reliance on Brazil of raw Materials in order to expand. However, this is seen as okay as Portugal is a set stopping point for many of the trade items from Asia before their eventual transport to Brazil. The rubber trade also continues to expand with seeds being escorted to Angola, Mozambique, and East Timor, respectively intent on increasing the growth of rubber. The transport of rubber, coffee and other agricultural and export products is made more efficient with more and more railroad systems beginning to link up to agricultural areas. The Brazilian population with the inclusion of Portugal and normal population growth reaches a population of 17.3 million people. The Emperor also begins trying to establish legislation to make Former slaves now free men recognized citizens of the empire with the same rights. These same rights are established in Portugal, and all the new Colonies of Brazil.

The Brazilian military in order to cope with 45,000 troops in Europe increases to a Solid 300,000 to make up for some of the numbers. The Navy of Brazil is continually improved with 2 more Ironclad ships coming out of the dry docks. The possibility of a Turret system is continually researched with the first design for a ship laid out and its possibility of being constructed by 1880. The Brazilian army also continues searching for a new service rifle Looking to Buy a Service rifle from another nation as well as rights to produce a Brazilian Version. Previous research done towards refining Guncotton ( a propellant for guns) is done in order to make a more powerful, and less smoky gun propellant. The Reasearch begins rather broadly as the Brazilian empire has not experimented heavily in refining or working with this kind of thing before.

With the acquisition of Colonies the Brazilian government especially encourages immigration to Gabon with the colony growing for almost 500 to 2500 over the year with even more growth expected in the coming years. The Brazilian government with Portugal once a strong sovereign nation wrestles with what to consider the nation and for now considers it a Limbo Area, with the Parliament wanting to wait a few years for the area to be economically viable and stable enough to be made a Dominion of the empire. However, the Rule of Dom Pedro II as monarch in Portugal is starting to be widely respected by people due to the way Portugal has been treated, and how many people were even allowed to continue their every day lives while the conflict was going on. Brazil also heavily invests in Rebuilding Lisbon and Porta repairing a lot of the damage quickly and expediently to help earn the trust of the people. Families separated by the Previous Brazilian war of independance are finally allowed to reunite for the first time in years. '''Multiple trading posts are founded up and down West Africa from Gabon to Angola looking to secure more legitimate trade from the sub-saharan region of Africa. (Gabon, Equatorial Guinea, and Congo)'''. United States of America: The industrial boom last year was a great one. However, such huge booms open up the chance for industry to crash immediately after and therefore we invest in stabalizing the economy. This causes our industrial score to go up by '''0.25 and we finally reach an industrial score of 2.0. '''The transcontinental railroad is finally completed. This allows for greater movement of goods and people across the nation. Everyone who has worked on such a feat is thanked and is greatly appreciated for their hard work and effort. Cooperation with Mexico and the Empire of Brazil continue. With the war in Portugal officially over we recall our troops back.
 * Portugal: Portugal now under control of Brazil and now with their investment and trade begins a program of reviatlization using its new trade with Brazil and lack of a military budget to finance increased business leading to economic expansion. However, some police forces are trained by the Brazilian army to help maintain public order.
 * Goa: The colony of Goa continues its trade of spices and other things from India and some seeds for rubber trees are planted intent on turning Goa into a cash crop colony. Brazilian forces reach about 500 here recruited from locals and trained heavily. The officers are a mix of Brazilians, and Indians. The Portuguese men which have surrendered are allowed to go to where their families live without having to pay.
 * Macau: Macau continues to funnel trade from China but now by default it Fronts to the Empire of Brazil beginning to increase the Asian base of trade to Brazil.
 * East Timor: The economy is continually based around cash crops with coffee being a huge export as well as rubber trees beng planted for better cultivation.
 * Angola: Angola continues its economic production of gold, spices, diamonds, with plantation economy coming on the rise with agricultural products coming into play. Rubber trees are planted in Angola to help expand Brazil's growing rubber industries. The immigration from Brazil and Portugal continue to expand the colony quite a bit pushing territorial control farther inland. Slave and Exploitation based labor are phased out with legitimate industries being made out of them with fair wages being a staple. This actually establishes better output at the people are less inclined to hate their new leaders due to the new economic policy.
 * Mozambique: The Colony of Mozambique continues its cash crop and plantation economy substituting Native exploitation with true and fair wages which in turn help the impoverished gain a better life foothold but in doing so actually give the Plantations increased output.
 * Gabon: The Colony of Gabon expands to 2500 and is considered a true colony of the Brazilian empire with growing influence in the Gabon Area due to the prevention of Slavers, and the growing respect by Africans to the Brazilian settlers.

Italian D: We see this as an act of war but hesitate to declare war on Spain.

If Spain refuses to accept these demands Italy will declare war upon them. United Kingdoms of Sweden and Norway: We increase our focus on developing farmland for our nations economy. We continue to strengthen trade ports and we develop larger roads for quicker travel and trade time. We also develop some more logging camps. We are now reseacrhing into the development of quicker mining and rescource gathering techniques. We also do some small research in Svalbard including geographical research. We continue development of modern naval ships and we complete a destroyer. We upgrade our navy by 0.25.

Russia: Due to the instability of Western Europe and Spain's unnecessary course of actions against Italy, our nation's leader Alexander II requests to meet with leaders of the League of Three Emperors, Italy, and Switzerland to create a coalition against Spain's random aggressiveness. Gold from Alaska continues to draw in large profit, allowing our nation to research into large military projects. Construction of large armored cruisers continue, as well as the development of them. Focus on the peasant class of the Russian Empire continues to prevent future revolts and uprisings. We invite the Empire of Japan into the League of Three Emperors and ask for the votes of the German Empire and Austria-Hungary to decide whether they're granted permission to join the organization.

'''Japanese Dip: We are happy about this invitation and hopee we are welcomed in by the othher two nations. we will hopefully be able to benifit eachother'''

Mexico: We continue to try to catch up with the rest of the world to hopefully become an economic power house, we increase our industry by 0.25.

Switzerland: We protest the Spanish patrolling of Italian waters. The navy deploys the ironclads to defend the maritime border. Some Swiss want the nation to ally with three major powers, but the majority prefer neutrality.

Fortifications continue to be built and the army upgrades by 0.25 due to these defenses.

Greece: Seeing the events on the Balkans it secretly asks the leadership of Britain, France and Russia to aid in releasing the Balkans under one banner, a Neo byzantine banner and a Balkan banner, yet in this moment the government of the Greek monarchy begins opening up towards a democratic government allowing several institutions made to interact with the Hellenic peoples, the government asks the French and british to allow the creation of a greek colonial empire in africa, and it would ask to where may the Greeks be allowed to settle and to pacify and civilize within africa.


 * Empire of Brazil Dip: We recommend northwestern Africa above Gabon.


 * Spainish D: Above Gabon is the Spainish colony of New Catalonia.
 * French Diplomacy: We recommend that a conference be created and attended by all European nations that are currently colonizing, or have intents to colonize in the near future, in order to avoid wars over colonial possessions.

Denmark: We are half way finished the Diplomacy Building in Copenhagen, this will contain the current records of all World Treaties, Alliances and Trade Agreements and will be open for the public to use and see what is going on in the worlds current affairs. A man named   Wilhelm Hellesen has been working on a way to make batteries easier to transport by putting wheat flour in battery electrolyte. He is only scratching the surface of this new idea but he beleives it will be a huge success.

France: With President Jules Grevy in power, the Opportunist Republicans control the entire government of France. Their control leads to more liberalization laws, including the additional laws attached to the Jules Ferry Laws, allowing for increased freedom of speech and freedom of the press that was more controlled and abscent in the previous Monarchial Empires. Railroads and public schools continue their construction in both urban and rural French areas. The reforms to the military begin, mainly under the War Minister Georges Ernest Boulanger, who starts his reforms with a more morallic one by allowing soldiers to grow beards, with actually military uniforms planned for the next year. Alfred Dreyfus continues training in Paris.
 * French Equatoral Africa: Through continental French shipments, the colonial armies become better armed and uniformed, in order to enforce French law and assimilation upon the native populations.

 * French Guiana: Continental French shipments allow for the larger colonial armies to become better armed and unformed. Guard presence is increase as more prisoners are sent to the colony. More French immigants arrive to the colony, prompting the governor to expand the city of Cayenne to account for more ships coming to French Guiana. The plant seeds that were retrieved from the Amazon are sent back to the Jardin des Plantes, the botanical garden of the French Republic. There, trees such as the Hevea Brasiliensis (Para rubber tree), and Cinchona Officinalis tree (Quinine bark tree) are planted to have them germinate outside of the Amazonian Rainforest.

Qing Dynasty: The Forbidden city is completely rebuild and the emperor moved back with the modernizing officials. We continue our influence of the conservative officials and begin to use examples from the Han and Tang Dynasty of how adapting foreign technology and culture allowed China to become more powerful. Emperor Tongzhi begin to go on a tour around China to convince people to adapt to Western technologies. We learned more from European powers, especially the economical fruit of capitalism from Great Britain. we begin our train rail construction and begin working on one from Tiangjing to Beijing. The economy continues expanding as the country makes its first rubber, coffee and wine exports. We begin selling more cash crops as it replenished our royal coffers and allowed more people to not die of hunger. We learn more about building railroads.
 * French Diplomacy (Needs Mod Reponse): In order  to allieviate Egyptian financial troubles (Which held a debt of over 45,000,000 pounds sterling before the game began), we offer to purchase all 176,602 Egyptian shares in the Suez Canal for 35,000,000 pounds sterling.
 * French Diplomacy (Needs Mod Response): We send a diplomat to the Dahomey Kingdoms, offering semi-autonomy under French Rule in Africa.

To modernize Chinese thinking, Tongzhi promoted legalism as opposed to Confucianism and gives a law to change 50% of the schools in China to teach science, mechanics and for richer schools, a foreign language. He ordered the reorganization and translation of Wesern science books and replaced Doctrine of Men by Han Fei Zhi, a legalist classic. To counter the people against legalism, we wrote new laws against corrption and it satisfied the peasants, who were angry about wide-spread corruption. We also begin to have a parliament and we feel that we should construct a constitutional monarchy to satisfy the people's desire for their own say in the government, despite their education. This idea is loved by many, especially those who got a bad score in the Imperial exam.

We begin modernizing our military and we start by buying a cargo of 100 rifles from Prussian Arms Dealers. We learn how to reproduce rifles and the first rifle factory is bild in Wuhan. Much more naval bases, ammunition factories, arms factories and arsenals are built in major cities and major ports. More navies are sent on patrol in the East China Sea. We begin developing naval ships as we send iron and coal from Shangxxi to Shangdong, where they are built into tiny battleships. We continue studying the ways to build iron steamboats. Students are sent to foreign nations, where their main goal is to study mechanics and the sciences. Our volunteer army has reached 400,000 men and it is steadily increasing every month. We hope to reach an army of 600,000 by 1878 and 1,000,000 by 1885. We begin to have large amounts of drills in the military and those who fail will be kicked out. We begin projecting our military power throughout our sub-states and we begin to build a province militia. To counter the Japanese movement of troops into East China Sea, we ask Joseon if we can establish a naval base of Jeju Island. We also establish larger naval fleets in Shanghai and Taipei and have routine drills on the East China Sea.

Learning about the colonization progress of European powers, Tongzhi also would like to establish Chinese colonies and he set his eyes on the Great Lakes region of Africa. We build our first colony, after sailing there with a fleet of 50 ships, in OTL Zanzibar. The settlement constructed there was called Ya Fei Dao, which meant African Island

British Empire: We send troops north to aid in the crushing of the last of the resistance. Skirmishes with the Spanish in the South Continue, but after our decisive victory, they lack the strength to face us. We complete another of the Cruisers. Furious with the Spanish arrogance at blockading another nation, and already at war with them, we send the fleet out from Malta, forcing the Spanish out of Italian waters. Two ironclads are completed, with another five on the way. Army is upgraded by 0.25 We also send troops from Gibraltar to aid Morocco, and the fleet to keep the Spanish Forces away whilst we deal with whatever forces they already have there.

Germany: With the German constitution adopted by the Reichstag less than one year ago, the foundations for the new parliament are in place. Universal male suffrage allows for many diverse political views to be expressed in the new parliament. We begin a rapid expansion of industry to catch up to other European powers. The steel giant Krupp continues to grow to become one of the largest steel manufacturers in Europe, improving our national economy, thanks in large part to the protection from American and British competition afforded by tariffs and cartels. Coal plants are expanded to locally power our nation. Important mines along the valleys of the rivers Ruhr, Inde, and Wurm are modernized to be safer and more efficient. Numerous small industrial centres begin to spring up, focusing on ironworks using local coal. Our iron and steel works begin buying mines, and erecting coking ovens to supply their own requirements in coke and gas. These integrated coal-iron firms ("Huettenzechen") became numerous with the growth of the industrial sector. The average output of a mine in 1850 was about 8,500 short tons; its employment about 64. We hope to grow these numbers, drastically increasing our output. Total Ruhr coal output rose from 2.0 million short tons in 1850, and is expected to rise to 22 by 1880.The miners in the Ruhr region are divided by ethnicity with Germans and Poles, and religion with Protestants and Catholics, splitting the miners into several unions, with an affiliation to different political parties. Mobility in and out of the mining camps to nearby industrial areas is high. German banks begin to play a central roles in financing German industry. Different banks form cartels in different industries, and Cartel contracts become accepted as legal and binding by German courts, although illegal in Britain and the United States. The process of cartelization begins slowly, but the cartel movement is expected to rise. The government plays a powerful role in the industrialization of the German Empire, during a period known as the Second Industrial Revolution. We supported not only heavy industry but also crafts and trades, to maintain prosperity in all parts of the empire. Local procedures are put in place, so even where the national government does not act, the highly autonomous regional and local governments are expected to support their own industries. Each state is expected to be as self-sufficient as possible. Railroads become crucial in the transfer of German goods across Europe, and modern engines begin to replace outdated models in our nation. Bismarck’s new tariffs on imported grain and the introduction of the sugar beet as a main crop helps to grow agricultural yield. Farmers begin to abandon traditional, inefficient practices, adapting modern farming practices, such as the use of new fertilizers and tools. The knowledge and tools gained from the intensive farming of sugar and other root crops helps to quickly elevate Germany to one of the most efficient agricultural producers in Europe. With the economic push toward industrialization and urbanization, heavy industry (coal and steel especially) become important in the Ruhr, and manufacturing growing in the cities, the Ruhr, and Silesia. Based on its leadership in chemical research in the universities and industrial laboratories, we begin to become dominant in the world's chemical industry. Big businesses such as BASF and Bayer led the way in their production and distribution of artificial dyes and pharmaceuticals during the Wilhelmine era, leading to the German monopolisation of the global chemicals market. The nation wide currency that has been planned for several months, known as the German Goldmark, is accepted as the national currency, replacing the Vereinsthaler, South German Gulden, Bremen Thaler, Hamburg Mark, French Franc, and other local currencies, beginning new economic unity. Our military continues to be expanded, upgrading our army score by 0.25. The armies of the former German Confederacy states are placed under the control of Prussia, while the contingents of the Bavarian, Saxon and Württemberg kingdoms remain semi-autonomous. The term "German Army" begins to be used in various legal documents such as the Military Penal Code, but otherwise the Prussian, Bavarian, Saxon and Württemberg armies maintain distinct identities, under the command of Chief of the German General Staff Helmuth von Moltke. Supreme command of the navy is vested in the emperor, but its first appointed chief is Infantry General Albrecht von Stosch. Kiel on the Baltic Sea and Wilhelmshaven on the North Sea become the Navy's principal naval bases. Initially the main task of the new Imperial Navy is to ensure coastal protection. The Imperial Navy's tasks are then to prevent any invasion force from landing and to protect coastal towns from possible bombardment. We open a German Imperial Naval Academy at Kiel for training officers, followed in May by the creation of a 'Machine Engineer Corps', and we plan to create a 'Medical Corps' by early 1873. We begin a ten year program to institute the modernise of the fleet. Our new plan calls for the creation of eight armoured frigates, six armoured corvettes, twenty light corvettes, seven monitors, two floating batteries, six avisos, eighteen gunboats and twenty-eight torpedo boats, at an estimated cost of 220 million gold marks. The building plan is approved by the Reichstag, which controls the allocation of funds, although one-quarter of the money came from French war reparations, allowing the modernization of our fleet to begin. We also hope to begin the colonization of Africa, although we first wish to expand our naval capabilities. We plan to hire the famed explorer Henry Morton Stanley upon arrival home from Africa to explore land for us. In the meantime we send a small naval expedition to chart the area north of British South Africa, making contact with the Herero and Khoisan People. Expeditions are also launched into the African Cameroon delta and the mainland coast across from Zanzibar, with a few thousand people and soldiers planning to settle the areas. We agree to allow Japan to join the League of Three Emperors.

Ottoman forces have turned the tide on the Herzegovina rebellion although Ottoman forces have taken many losses.

'''British troops begin to easily take out a large portion of Spain's present military within the nation with ease. Many citizens support the British due to the current leader's acts.'''

Conservatives in the Qing Dynasty have started to rise up again in small numbers, protesting against modernization of the nation.

With the approval of the Russian and German Empire and the abstaining decision of Austria-Hungary, Japan has been allowed to join the League of Three Emperors, now called the League of Four Emperors.

Denmark: The Diplomacy Building is complete and is now opwen to the genereal public. Several schools have already boooked in excursions and a few of the government representatives are taking a huge interest to see that the records are correct. This Building is in no way a means to check any violatin of treaties it is simply a building where people can learn and discover. We are still waiting for a reply from Sweden as to wether they will attend the conference of ending the bad blood and join together in a trade alliance. Constuction has bugun of a large naval dock in Esbjerg and is estimated to take around 3 years to complete.

Empire of Brazil: The empire continues its new policy of Plurocontinentalism and begins adopting a new social stigma which turns heavily away from the previous views on Africans and other peoples of non european decent, which is intended to allow heavy and peaceful coexistance of people throughout the empire. The Population now with Portugals addition and growth reaches 18.3 million based on population growth and immigration and now including former slaves and african nationals with the total population estimated just above 19 million. The economy continues to expand with the rubber trade continueing to advance along with other agricultural products. The Industry with cheap rubber and domestically produced materials allows for large scale expansion which leads to the Brazilian armed forces considering producing their own rifle rather than buying foreign as nobody has made any offers. The Brazilian armed forces begin considering a new system that uses a bolt action. however the Issue of Corrosion is still unable to be fixed as black powder causes a lot of grit and residue. The research into a smokeless and more efficient gun propellant is continued with Gun cloth, with the issues being narrowed down and certain chemicles being used to try and work with this. The Increase in industry and economy expansion upgrade the industry score by 0.25.

The Brazilian military makes another push towards modernization buying more repeaters from the US military to bolster the armament of the army. The Navy also continues expansion with another ironclad and several wooden ships coming off the line. The first Turret based ship is continually built, but it is done slowly to prevent mistakes and allow for a top notch protoype. The Military recruits its first loyal Portuguese soldiers equaling about 5000 with the mercenaries finally paid off and sent home to their respective countries. The Brazilian armed forces continue to prevent illegal slavers around all their colonies gaining prestige and respect of their new colonists.

The Brazilian economy continues to advance with Colonial trade and economics now helping push the economy forward. The push towards turning the colonies and their plantations and specific industries into businesses continue. The Brazilian trade posts continue to be set up across Western Africa using the new prestige and wealth to set up across the area managing to establish a near unbroken sea trade system from Gabon to Angola. Brazil continues to invest heavily in all her colonies expanding their territorial area and population with almost 17,000 recorded immigrants to the colonies. Two trading posts begin to advance in their growth (Cameroon, and Equatorial Guinea). Brazil declares from Angola, to Equatorial Guinea and Cameroon a sphere of Brazilian colonial interests and request other nations to remain out of the area due to the large presence of Brazilian interest.

We have recieved further intellegence that the current Spanish colonies are in horrible condition and that half of the people in the colonies don't even get basic needs. Many wonder why is Spain invading another nation when it can't even support its own colonies decently. Because of this there is public outcry of Spain's action and the majority believe that it is the United States of America obligation to put Spain's colonies under our control because we are stable and modern. Thus we declare war on Spain (Casus Belli: Political Blunder (-2) Objective: Annex Territory: +1) We send 5,000 troops to invade Cuba and send 5,000 troops to attack the Philippines. We ask permission from the Empire of Brazil to use Macau as a naval base for the invasion of the Phillippines.
 * Portugal: Portugal now under control of Brazil and now with their investment and trade begins a program of reviatlization using its new trade with Brazil and lack of a military budget to finance increased business leading to economic expansion. However, some police forces are trained by the Brazilian army to help maintain public order. Portuguese troops are officially added to the Brazilian armed forces with 5000 loyal Portuguese troops relieving the 5000 hired mercenaries. Portugals steps towards becomming a Brazilian Dominion continue if all continues on schedule.
 * Goa: The colony of Goa continues its trade of spices and other things from India and some seeds for rubber trees are planted intent on turning Goa into a cash crop colony. Brazilian forces reach about 500 here recruited from locals and trained heavily. The officers are a mix of Brazilians, and Indians. The Portuguese men which have surrendered are allowed to go to where their families live without having to pay.
 * Macau: Macau continues to funnel trade from China but now by default it Fronts to the Empire of Brazil beginning to increase the Asian base of Trade to Brazil.
 * East Timor: The economy is continually based around cash crops with coffee being a huge export as well as rubber trees beng planted for better cultivation.
 * Angola: Angola continues its economic production of gold, spices, diamonds, with plantation economy coming on the rise with agricultural products coming into play. Rubber trees are planted in Angola to help expand Brazil's growing rubber industries. The immigration from Brazil and Portugal continue to expand the colony quite a bit pushing territorial control farther inland. Slave and Exploitation based labor are phased out with legitimate industries being made out of them with fair wages being a staple. This actually establishes better output at the people are less inclined to hate their new leaders due to the new economic policy. Angola begins to expand inland a bit and manages to establish a rudimentary trade road up the West African coast to trading posts just north of Angola, and with expansion up too Gabon and Equatorial Guinea expected.
 * Mozambique: The Colony of Mozambique continues its cash crop and plantation economy substituting Native exploitation with true and fair wages which in turn help the impoverished gain a better life foothold but in doing so actually give the Plantations increased output.
 * Gabon: The Colony of Gabon expands to 3500 and is considered a true colony of the Brazilian empire with growing influence in the Gabon Area due to the prevention of Slavers, and the growing respect by Africans to the Brazilian settlers. The Colony now with about 1000 Brazilian troops expands up and down the coast simultaneously in attempts to prevent slaving but also in expanding the plantation ability of the colony.

 * USA D: We thank Brazil for allowing our forces to use Macau as a base.

Belgium: We ask for trade agreement with England. We ask Great Britain and USA to sell us weapons and guns to defend ourselves. We begin to improve our economy and build factories, therefore increasing economy score by 0.25.

Switzerland: We begin to construct a port city. The navy ships upgrade the navy by 0.25. The government continues to fund the national redoubt. We offer a non-aggression pact with the League of Four Empires.

Ottoman Empire: Ottoman forces are busy in the Balkans, attempting to calm Bosnians and Serbs. Large monetary and financial offers are made to Serbs who will willingly put aside their arms, including tracts of land in the African frontiers. The acceptance of a number of Serbs leads to the growth of the Ottoman empire into the southern tips of Arabia and into the deserts of Africa. Sutlan Abdulaziz continues the Manzipat era of "Reorganization". We spread "Ottomanism," a pan-national movement that can be spread amongst all people of the Empire. We allow non-Turks more and more freedoms, especially of self-government. The Ottoman government, along with the Sultan, encourage secularization. Attempts to influence Persia, Morocco, and the Saudi continue, with mild success. The millet system continues with suprising progress.''' We grow our Navy by 0.25. We begin a lengthy process of drafting an alliance, inteded to include the Ottomans, Britain, France, Brazil/Portugal, the United States, and China. See: Grand International Alliance. In the meanwhile, each of these states are offred an alliance. Finally, we also raise the recent tax for non-Ottoman goods passing through the Bosphorus, and an additional tax for the Dardanelles. These taxes are meant to pay for the troops in Bosnia. '''


 * Empire of Brazil: The Empire of Brazil (not Portugal they are currently a territory/future dominion) will consider this alliance but it must be run through our parliament and the other social, military, and economic implications must be considered.

France: Railroads and public schools continue their construction in both urban and rural French areas. The reforms for the military continue under the watch of War Minister Ernest Boulanger, who's popularity also begins to rise, '''expanding our military by 0.25. Alfred Dreyfus continues training in Paris. '''The Parliament, in an attempt to take support away from the monarchy, break up and sell the French Crown Jewels. '''Paul Vieille begins working on his version of smokeless powder, basing it off previous Prussian and Austrian powders, and works to improve them.

'''The seeds planted in the Jardin des Plantes germinate. '''However, out of the three thousand seeds, only two hundred of them germinate. The germinated trees, mainly the Para rubber tree and Quinine bark tree are sent into various French colonies, sich as French Equatorial Africa, French Guiana, and French Indochina for their cultivation and use for France.
 * French Equatoral Africa: Through continental French shipments, the colonial armies become better armed and uniformed, in order to enforce French law and assimilation upon the native populations. The colonial government begins to "hand out" assimilation rights, which actually require a renouncement of current land holdings, allowing for the colonial government to take hold of lands, and "civilize" the natives. The colony begins expansion to the south, beginning with missionary work, then French colonial volunteers.
 * French Dahomey: The French 12th Foreign Legion is established in French Dahomey and the 19th Army Corp sends more soldiers to French Dahomey, in order to protect the colonists against the increasingly aggressive Dahomey Kingdoms. 
 * New Caledonia: Continental French shipments allow for the small colonial police force to become better armed and uniformed in the wake of recent waves of european immigration from the discovery of nickel in 1864. Since then, colonial population has been ever increasing, and native population slowly decreasing, although tensions are very high.
 * French Senegal: Continental French shipments allow for the colonies armies to become better armed and uniformed. The doctrine of missionary work and abolitionism is still promoted as preparations for another war with the remaining Sengali chiefdoms begins in order to curtail their slave trade and end their pagan practices, as well as gain access to numerous mining ventures.
 * French Indochina: Continental French shipments allow for the large colonial armies to become better armed and uniformed. Soldiers are stationed near the Sino-Indochinese border as support for expansion of the French colonial provinces and catholic faith is advocated for by the governor of the colony. French missionaries are sent into Vietnam and Cambodia to promote Christianity in Asia.
 * French Guiana: Continental French shipments allow for the larger colonial armies to become better armed and unformed. Guard presence is increase as more prisoners are sent to the colony. More French immigrants arrive to the colony, prompting the governor to expand the city of Cayenne to account for more ships coming to French Guiana. 

Qing Dynasty: We continue our Westernization and we begin exerting influence. We continue our influence of the conservative officials and begin to use examples from the Han and Tang Dynasty of how adapting foreign technology and culture allowed China to become more powerful. We ask the conservatives why are they protesting of, since the modernization movement has allowed China to become a stronger country. Emperor Tongzhi first arrived in Nanking, where he spoke to turn Nanking into a "London of the East" and turn Nanking into a metropolis able to fuel China's great industrial need. We learned more from European powers, especially the economical fruit of capitalism from Great Britain. we begin our train rail construction and finish the one from Tiangjing to Beijing. The economy continues expanding as the country makes its first rubber, coffee and wine exports. We send a small team of explorers to Amazon for "Scientific study", although there main goal is to collect plant seeds to produce more cash crops. We begin selling more cash crops as it replenished our royal coffers and allowed more people to not die of hunger. We
 * French Diplomacy (Needs Mod Reponse): In order  to alleviate Egyptian financial troubles (which held a debt of over 45,000,000 pounds sterling before the game began), we offer to purchase all 176,602 Egyptian shares in the Suez Canal for 35,000,000 pounds sterling.
 * French Diplomacy (Needs Mod Response): We send a diplomat to the Dahomey Kingdoms, offering semi-autonomy under French Rule in Africa.

To modernize Chinese thinking, Tongzhi promoted legalism as opposed to Confucianism and gives a law to change 50% of the schools in China to teach science, mechanics and for richer schools, a foreign language. Tongzhi also set a 0.5% property tax, which is used to construct a system of compulsory education. All Chinese children would have to have an education from the age of six to 12 of science, Chinese, math and the arts. There will also be voluntry high school education and those who are rich and extremely intelligne may go to the completed University of Beijing. The University of Beijing is now open, teaching Chinese, math, mechanical science, physics, history and art. The first Chinese science book is written and it consolidated all European scientific thought from 1600-1850 in a hefty 200 page text book. The book is then named Kei Jin (The Classic of Science) and replaced the boook of documents. The government also began the writing of the New Shi Jin of Chinese History from Xia to Qing. To counter the people against legalism, we wrote new laws against corrption and it satisfied the peasants, who were angry about wide-spread corruption. We also begin catching and punishing corrupt officials. We also begin to have a parliament and we feel that we should construct a constitutional monarchy to satisfy the people's desire for their own say in the government, despite their education. This idea is loved by many, especially those who got a bad score in the Imperial exam.We continue constucitng a parliament.

We begin modernizing our military and we start by buying a cargo of 100 rifles from Prussian Arms Dealers. We learn how to reproduce rifles and the first rifle factory is bild in Wuhan. Much more naval bases, ammunition factories, arms factories and arsenals are built in major cities and major ports. More navies are sent on patrol in the East China Sea. We begin developing naval ships as we send iron and coal from Shangxxi to Shangdong, where they are built into tiny battleships. Our soldiers begin receiving rifles and swords and axes are taken away to modernize the military. Hence, we raise our army score by 0.25. We continue studying the ways to build iron steamboats. We build our first iron steamboat in Shanghai. Students are sent to foreign nations, where their main goal is to study mechanics and the sciences. Our volunteer army has reached 600,000 men and it is steadily increasing every month. We hope to reach an army of 1,000,000 by 1885. We continue to have large amounts of drills in the military and those who fail will be kicked out. We begin sending more soldiers to Jeju Island as we have a routine patrol in the East China Sea. We send many of our soldiers to Manchuria to secure it from soem Japanese influence. We begin to influence Kyushu.

Ya Fei Dao expands and the settlers begin to establish some smaller settlement on the coast to get resources, while Ya Fei Dao is used as a defensive settlement.


 * Chinese D to United Kingdom, United States and France: To combat this new League of Four Emperors I suggest that we should have an alliance of United Kingdom, France, United States and China named the Quadruple Alliance

Switzerland: Construction of border defenses continue, and some government officials propose constructing an Alpine Defensive Line to act as a stronghold. The government orders SIG to begin production of the new artillery piece, with a breech loading system. 16 are produced and put into 4 field artillery units. 2 small single gun river monitors are produced to patrol the Swiss lakes.

Russia: Gold continues to be mined out of Alaska at exponential rates. Petrologist have also struck oil, benefiting the nation with large quantities of petroleum to run the industry. With the middle-class growing due to the aid of the government, many have started creating local businesses, benefiting the economy. Dry-Docks have finally finished constructing three large armored cruisers of the General-Admiral Class, as well as six Screw Corvettes over the past couple years. We would like to address that the League of Four Emperors is not a threat to the world, and we suggest that a peace council should be in commission, with the objective to ensure that war does not occur between two large entities that will destroy the global economy, and kill millions. If Switzerland will allow it, and with the consent of the Grand International Alliance, we would like to jointly construct and fund a councilor building to appease both sides and prevent a large diplomatic divide between our large borders. The building will be constructed in Geneva. We offer Germany, Austria-Hungary, and the Empire of Japan the proposal of joint military production of our nations most efficient equipment. This will benefit our economies as well as ensure effecient collective security between our nations. We upgrade our navy by 0.25.


 * Swiss Diplomacy: We accept the request, and ask for Russian help to improve our rail lines and bridges. We request that no foreign troops are stationed at the building, the Swiss will guard it.
 * Russian Diplomacy: We will help in partially funding the construction of bridges and railroads for the next five years, and that it is alright if Switzerland guards the building.

'''Rebels in Herzegovinia have been defeated by the large Ottoman military, however the Ottoman's have taken massive casualties. More than 300,000 are dead both civilian and military. '''

'''With the creation of two massive alliances, a large diplomatic rapture occurs, between the nations of the League of Four Emperors and the Grand International Alliance. States within the Balkans that have been once a part of the Ottoman Empire have started to side toward the League of Four Emperors for protection from the Ottoman Empire and their new allies. Romania and Serbia have been considered defensive allies of the League, with Greece currently having governmental disputes.'''

United States of America: With the formation of of the Grand International Alliance inorder to counter the League of Four Emperors we feel that a world war is coming soon and thus we build up the Lincoln Line. The Lincoln Line consists of ten thousand troops and moderate fortifications. A four stage army training/fort building program shall take place over the next four to eight years. The first stage of the of the army training begins with basic training and '''thus army score goes up by 0.25. We demand that Spain surrenders Cuba and the '''Philippines.

Empire of Brazil: The Empire officially recognizes dominion government in Portugal with the head of local goings on a prime minister/governor of the territory/dominion but the de facto head of state remains Emperor Dom Pedro II. However the current governor/Prime Minster is in fact a Brazilian minister jointly considered and appointed by the Emperor, parliament, and Emperors ministers. Along with this Portugal closely watched and Pro Plurocontinental propaganda is put in place pointing out the mass increase in trade, as well as better standard of living as part of Brazils empire. The same propaganda is put in all of the Colonies as well. The Empire and its parliament seeing the increased productivity from the freeing of the slaves, and more business and industry oriented officially supports only previously a public ideology of non-racism, equality, and non superiority allowing for previously opressed peoples to achieve in some cases the same status's as whites in the Brazilian society. The Brazilians also semi-adopt Portuguese colonial policy in which colonists are not discouraged from intermarrying with the natives. The Emperor also officially begins the personal education of Prince Pedro De Alcântara aiming to educate him well right from the beginning so he make take the throne from Dom Pedro II in the near future. Interacting with his Grandson greatly envigorates the Emperor with him showing signs of increased happiness and vitality as well as less disdain for the monarchy. '''With rubber plantations dotting the take of Acre, Brazil continues to administer the areas much like a Brazilian state and begins working around the Bolivian government in the area. '''Using our previous alliance in the Paraguayan war the Empire of Brazil begins to promote a better relationship with Argentina exploiting our already busy trade relationship. The empire makes it extremely illegal to take seeds among other things from the amazon and all foreigners with intent to go are either given an Escort and if they refuse are completely turned away.

The Military continues its research into smokeless powder showing signs of a breakthrough as a new type of mostly smokeless gunpowder is developed, however its need to be refined into a more well to do and efficient product is undertaken. With the development of the powder by itself Brazil continues its development of a bolt action rifle intent on using the new powder and new rifle to outfit its armed forces in a more modern fashion. The Turret ship under construction is continued and one of its turrets is tested to work. The ship continues its slow but very careful and deliberate construction. The Brazilian military sells military equipment to its new dominion of Portugal intent on keeping control of the dominion through trade and total monopoly of its Arms industry. However the Propoganda appears to be working as the cultural ties and notable economic improvement seems to be working and people are generally positive of Brazils role in portugal. The Empire of Brazil elevates another Regionary General in Brazil.
 * Argentinian Diplomacy: We would like to ask for a commercial alliance with the Empire of Brazil.

The Brazilian economy continues to advance with Colonial trade and economics now helping push the economy forward. The push towards turning the colonies and their plantations and specific industries into businesses continue. The Brazilian trade posts continue to be set up across Western Africa using the new prestige and wealth to set up across the area managing to establish a near unbroken sea trade system from Gabon to Angola. Brazil continues to invest heavily in all her colonies expanding their territorial area and population with almost 17,000 recorded immigrants to the colonies. Two trading posts begin to advance in their growth (Cameroon, and Equatorial Guinea). '''Brazil declares from Angola, to Equatorial Guinea and Cameroon a sphere of Brazilian colonial interests and request other nations to remain out of the area due to the large presence of Brazilian interest. '''Brazilian Trade posts now dot the coasts of West Africa from the Colony in Cameroon, to Angola preventing any other major colonizers from getting a foothold in the Area. Nigeria however is left out of Brazils current colonization policy. '''Brazil begins subversively sending propaganda to Venezuela. ''' The population of Brazil grows by almost a full one million people over the past year with the increased population growth in Brazil, Portugal and the colonies bringing the empire to about 20.5 million people.
 * Dominion of Portugal: Portugal now seeing the benefits of Brazils role in Portugal develops a small armed force of About 20,000 under the control ofd the Dominions local leader, and under the full control of the Emperor of Brazil. The Dominion also uses its economic and trade standing to help out its economy and for the first time in decades has intermarriages with people from Brazil such as businessmen and even some of the Brazilian Soldiers stationed in the Dominion. The military increase increases our army score by 0.25.
 * Goa: The colony of Goa continues its trade of spices and other things from India and some seeds for rubber trees are planted intent on turning Goa into a cash crop colony. Brazilian forces reach about 500 here recruited from locals and trained heavily. The officers are a mix of Brazilians, and Indians.

Slave and Exploitation based labor are phased out with legitimate industries being made out of them with fair wages being a staple. This actually establishes better output at the people are less inclined to hate their new leaders due to the new economic policy. Angola begins to expand inland a bit and manages to establish a rudimentary trade road up the West African coast to trading posts just north of Angola, and with expansion up too Gabon and Equatorial Guinea continued and areas paved for a road all the way up to the trade colony in Cameroon. Propoganda from Brazil is diffused through the colony and some of the first Brazilian-African marriages are held.

The colony also begins to include hundreds of Africans seeking work from the Brazilian industries and plantations developing in the area.
 * Cameroon: The Cameroon colony established a few years ago reaches a population of 300 which is a mix of Portuguese and Brazilian lower classes looking for a new life.

United Kingdoms of Sweden and Norway: After years of spreading enfluence to Norway, our bond between our two nations is slightly stronger and we continue to give the people of Norway economical, technological and educational benifits to continue to strengthen our bond. The researh into mining technology goes bad after a new system called the armed drill expodes killing many of its users. We continue to find a safer and more efficiant option for mining.

Industry score increased by 0.25.

Qing Dynasty: We continue our Westernization and we begin exerting influence. We continue our influence of the conservative officials and begin to use examples from the Han and Tang Dynasty of how adapting foreign technology and culture allowed China to become more powerful. Tongzhi speaks in front of the conservatives, saying their actions may lead to a third Opium War and that they are destroying China rather than helping China. He then says that Confucianism has its perks, but then associate them with slavery and Chinese racial degradation. We learned more from European powers, especially the economical fruit of capitalism from Great Britain. we begin our train rail construction and finish the one from Tiangjing to Beijing. The economy continues expanding as the country makes its first rubber, coffee and wine exports. After taking a few rubber seeds, we bring them back to China and plant them in Yunnan. We begin selling more cash crops as it replenished our royal coffers and allowed more people to not die of hunger. We begin sending groups of 10,000 soldiers in major coastal cities and places where ships are burned. The soldiers, who goes to Shanghai, Nanking, Wuhan, Xiamen, Guanzhou, Ningbo, Qingdao and Tiangjing, arrests and jails the radical ship-burnign conservatives.

To modernize Chinese thinking, Tongzhi promoted legalism as opposed to Confucianism and gives a law to change 50% of the schools in China to teach science, mechanics and for richer schools, a foreign language. Shin Shi Jin is finished and replaced Spring and Autumn in the 5 Classics. To counter the people against legalism, we wrote new laws against corrption and it satisfied the peasants, who were angry about wide-spread corruption. We also begin catching and punishing corrupt officials. We finished our parliament and two houses are built. The upper house, from the nobility and officials and the lower house from representatives of every million Chinese people. We begin trying to hold

We begin modernizing our military and we start by buying a cargo of 100 rifles from Prussian Arms Dealers. We learn how to reproduce rifles and the first rifle factory is bild in Wuhan. Much more naval bases, ammunition factories, arms factories and arsenals are built in major cities and major ports. More navies are sent on patrol in the East China Sea. We begin developing naval ships as we send iron and coal from Shangxxi to Shangdong, where they are built into tiny battleships. Our soldiers begin receiving rifles and swords and axes are taken away to modernize the military. Hence, we raise our army score by 0.25. We continue studying the ways to build iron steamboats. We build our first iron steamboat in Shanghai. Students are sent to foreign nations, where their main goal is to study mechanics and the sciences. Our volunteer army has reached 600,000 men and it is steadily increasing every month. We hope to reach an army of 1,000,000 by 1885. We continue to have large amounts of drills in the military and those who fail will be kicked out. We begin sending more soldiers to Jeju Island as we have a routine patrol in the East China Sea. We send many of our soldiers to Manchuria to secure it from soem Japanese influence.

 * French Equatorial Africa: Through continental French shipments, the colonial armies become better armed and uniformed, in order to enforce French law and assimilation upon the native populations. The colonial government begins to "hand out" assimilation rights, which actually require a renouncement of current land holdings, allowing for the colonial government to take hold of lands, and "civilize" the natives. The colony begins expansion to the south, beginning with missionary work, then French colonial volunteers. The plants sent to the colony begin cultivation in various farms.

Empire of Brazil:  The Empire continues to push its research into smokeless powder making a major breakthrough with the help of the French. The first true amounts of smokeless powder are produced but the formula is currently kept a secret by the Brazilian and by extension French Scientists and industries. The Bolt action rifle that was previously under development is tested with great success and is named the 1879 Afonso Rifle after the small company which developed it. Afonso Arms Industries. While a small and relatively new business its success with its new rifle sees its business expand almost ten-fold with orders flooding in from the Brazilian military. The Rifle uses a cartridge to allow for multiple rounds loaded in the gun and a  8mm round. The Brazilian navy also continues its slow and deliberate construction of its Turret ship expected to be finished the next year and launched for extreme testing. The Brazilian empires population reaches about 21.4 million with European immigration to the nation fueling a cultural melting pot as the ideologies of racism among other things is continually phased out in favor of equality. Industries continue to expand with rubber continuing to dominate the Brazilian market but with an increasing shift towards beef, food products and industrial production of certain goods comming to a front. The Cultural mixing of the colonies is encouraged more as well with more intermarriages occuring.

Brazil begins to Actively Patrol its sea trade routes continueing its build up of Iron-clad and steam ships of the line to begin full competition with other seagoing powers and with the major premise of securing its own sea trade routes. The Brazilian navy demonstrates its new abilities on daring and powerful shows of force against moderate pirate enclaves in Central West, and Southwestern Africa. The Brazilian Army also begins a larger program of Colonial Recruitment for militaries intent on Turning Angola and Mozambique into some of the military and economic powerhouses of the Empire by also encouraging population growth. The Monarchy begins considering adding the African populations of Mozambique and Angola to the Empires actualy population statistics with new legislature bringing more equality to the Peoples of the colonies as well as the homeland. The Anti Racism and Pro Equality movement continues to push foreward with more minds being changed by the day as the Empires new prosperity begins to show that equality and legitimate business can be supremely beneficial to the empire rather than blatant racism and subjugation.

The Brazilian economy continues to advance with Colonial trade and economics now helping push the economy forward. The push towards turning the colonies and their plantations and specific industries into businesses continue. The Brazilian trade posts continue to be set up across Western Africa using the new prestige and wealth to set up across the area managing to establish a near unbroken sea trade system from Gabon to Angola. Brazil continues to invest heavily in all her colonies expanding their territorial area and population with almost 15,000 recorded immigrants to the colonies. The rubber trees planted in multiple colonies begin to grow heavily with their expected harvesting date in the next couple years. Two trading posts begin to advance in their growth (Cameroon, and Equatorial Guinea). ''' Brazil declares from Angola, to Equatorial Guinea and Cameroon a sphere of Brazilian colonial interests and request other nations to remain out of the area due to the large presence of Brazilian interest. '''Brazilian Trade posts now dot the coasts of West Africa from the Colony in Cameroon, to Angola preventing any other major colonizers from getting a foothold in the Area. Nigeria however is left out of Brazil's current colonization policy. '''Brazil begins subversively sending propaganda to Venezuela. ''' The Population of Brazil Grows by almost a full one million people over the past year with the increased population growth in Brazil, Portugal and the colonies bringing the empire to about 20.5 million people. This increases our economy by 0.25.
 * Dominion of Portugal: Portugal now seeing the benefits of Brazils role in Portugal develops a small armed force of About 20,000 under the control of the Dominions local leader, and under the full control of the Emperor of Brazil. The Dominion also uses its economic and trade standing to help out its economy and for the first time in decades has intermarriages with people from Brazil such as businessmen and even some of the Brazilian soldiers stationed in the Dominion.
 * Goa: The colony of Goa continues its trade of spices and other things from India and some seeds for rubber trees are planted intent on turning Goa into a cash crop colony. The rubber industry begins to take off as Trees more near to their ripe age are harvested in Goa and money starting to flow into the colony.
 * Macau: Macau continues to funnel trade from China but now by default it Fronts to the Empire of Brazil beginning to increase the Asian base of Trade to Brazil.
 * East Timor: The economy is continually based around cash crops with coffee being a huge export as well as rubber trees beng planted for better cultivation. Rubber begins to develop more with plantations for it beginning to take precedence over others.

Rubber is also heavily predicted to be a big grower in Angola, with the plantation economics beginning to gear towards the inclusion of rubber. The Colony begins to help other colonial expansion securing much of the West African coast for Brazil and her colonial interests.

The Population also begins to include about 400 African natives that wish to profit from the trade the Brazilian empire is bringing. The Colony also helps in the West African monopolization by Brazil helping secure the Trade and colony rights from Cameroon, to Angola.
 * Swiss Secret Diplomacy: We offer to trade designs for our volley guns, artillery pieces, and rifles to make sniper rifles for the recipe for smokeless gunpowder.

Spain:  Colonial ships are sent to Cameroon and Niger claiming them for Spain. Refusing to surrender many people move to new Catalonia which is now up to 20,000! 2 small teams of men invade Cuba spreading Spanish influence and aid.

Joseon: The infrastructure is improved. Some more Confucian, Buddhist and Taoist temples are built.

Colombia: Movement towards the Catholic Church continues, much to the dismay of the Colombian Conservatives. The military improves in case of another civil war. Colombia offers trade pacts with the CSA, as the nation is very politically aligned to the southern nation. The infrastructure improves, aiding the economy as well.
 * Empire of Brazil Dip: We wish to establish larger scale diplomatic relations and extend a Trade Agreement to the nation of Colombia in an attempt to better the Relations with out Northern Neighbor.

Argentina: Minister Victorino de la Plaza suddenly dies of an Heart Attack, so Avellaneda selects a new unknown (yet extremely smart) figure named "Jose Luis Charpentier" as his Economy Minister, in no more than Two months he while continuing Plaza's measures includes a small industrialization program (currently concentrated in Buenos Aires) destined to supply the neighboring countries while improving the local consuming. European Immigration continues heavily while the conquest and colonization of the Patagonian and Chaco regions improve the productive space available; under this new economic ministry, Argentina adopts a more active commercial politics instead of receding to the previous Agro-Exporter system, situation possible thaks to the fact that Europe is currently at war and they keep needing resources, while Asia and America requires more manufactures, situation that Argentina will take advantage of. a new commercial fleet is put into production, impulsed by the State and mostly paid by local burguesois and Landlords (sweet-talked into by minister Charpentier). Population reached 7.1 millions, with this our Economy increases by 0.25. Finally taking advantage of th U.K. Being busy in spain we send an small fleet with two brigades and a colony (mostly Spaniards and Italians Immigrants and people from the Southern Buenos Aires) succesfully retaking the Falkland Islands, renaming them once more, "Las Islas Malvinas".
 * Empire of Brazil Dip: We dont support this action and ask Argentina to pull out of the Falklands due to their status as a British Colony, and the British Empire being an ally of the Empire of Brazil we cannot condone this whatsoever.
 * Ottoman Empire Dip: As an ally of the British Empire, and a nation with the best interest of global security foremost in the minds of our Sultan and his Viziers, the Ottoman Empire hereby condemns the Argentians for a blatant violation of recognized borders. We demand their immeadiate withdrawal and compensation to the British Empire.
 * Switzerland: We protest and condemn the invasion and request that Argentina withdrawal.

Belgium: We continue to build an army and ask France and Britain to sell weapons to us. We also ask for an military and economic alliance with Britain and France.

Switzerland: The government continues to construct the Alpine Defensive Line. The army constructs 12 more artillery pieces. The navy launches two ironclads and four lake gunboats. The navy upgrades by 0.25. Many Swiss desire to remain outside of any government organization. The government lowers taxes and opens a bank. The port city is still under construction to be finished by 1884.

Denmark: With the Construction of the naval dock in Esbjerg expected to be finished in another year we are beggining to gather people and resources to make a small combat worthy battleship. the expected time for the development stage is two years and will begin immediately. The construction time will be decided once the designs are all complete and have been approved. A factory wesat of Copenhagen is now devoted to the production of medium rtange artillery weapons and will start mass producing them once a system is set up to export them to any country wanting to purchase them.

Ottoman Empire: The Ottoman Emperor, along with his current Grand Vizier, decides that the culmination of Tanzimat is to begin next year. This, he announces, will be the Ottoman's new period of "Westernification," where all new Western technologies will be adopted into the Ottoman empire. In order to prepare for the "Westernification" the Sultan orders new internal divisions to be made up, with each division being equally autonomous and free. Abdulaziz calls this "The uttermost interpretation of the millet - individual states in which the imperial presence is no longer a constant threat but a unifying factor which will be used to maintain the overall protection from nearby states." Even as crazy is the creation of 3 Grand Vizier positions, to be elected by the Ottoman citizens. Each Vizier will represent one of the three millets, and one Vizier will be the Chief Vizier, to report to the Emperor. Industry increases by 0.5. The following new states are created:
 * Blue_Turkey.jpgSultante of Turkey: Formed out of the most Ottoman lands, this is considered to be the "Ottoman heartland." Constantinople is officially renamed Istanbul, as part of the Tanzimat reforms. Turks begin to investigate science and the arts, and they are probably the most happy of Ottoman citizens. Some feel that the creation of other Sultanates have diminished the Turkic role in government, but only a few rabble really are upset at this.
 * Flag_of_Kingdom_of_Syria_%281920-03-08_to_1920-07-24%29.svgSultanate of Syria: Syria is generally happy at the division of states, and Syrians feel that their people are now equal to the Turks. This leads to a positive feeling of multi-nationalism, where ethnic Turks and ethnic Syrians are considered equals in society. This leads to an economic growth in Damascus, which is quickly growing in importance as the newly chosen capital of the sultante.
 * Flag_of_Baghdad_%28No_Napoleon%29.svgSultanate of Baghdad: Baghhdadis, also frequently called Iraqis enjoy the same priveleges as Turks living in Baghdad. Kurds, which were relatively well protected since they were Turkic often move into Turkey proper. This allows more, valuable, land to become available to the Iraqis, and their economy begins to be agricultural, although the sciences are still important in the inner-city of Baghdad.
 * Flag_of_Palestine.pngMost Holy Levantine Protectorate: The Levant, as it is commonly called, is under the direct authority of the Grand Vizier, who is now to be elected every eight years. This democratic system is viewed even more fairly when put into the perspective that the Levant, as a protectorate, follows the Jewish, Christian, and Muslim millets. All three religious groups get their own Vizier, as a result, and there are now 3 Grand Viziers.
 * Drapeau_de_la_R%C3%A9publique_Arabe_Islamique_%28Union_tuniso-libyenne%29.svgCaliphal Lands of Mecca and Medina: Medina and Mecca are both directly under the command of the Caliph, who is also the Emperor. Medina is still the most powerful city economically, but Mecca begins to grow in importance as wealthy Arabians set up tourist industries to cash in on the hajjis.
 * 200px-Flag_of_Egypt.svg.pngSemi-Autonomous Egyptian Kingdom: After a troubling period of debt, the Egyptian Kingdom is more or less fiscally sound, thanks to the French. This new fical policy is helpful, and cities along the Suez gain loads of business. A discussion is taken up by the King with his local viziers to discuss the benefits of a buy-in on the Canal, and a potential tarriff, modeling after the Bosporus tarriff.
 * Egypt sold every share they had in the Suez Canal. They have no control over it, other than having it in their nation. Also, their debt is still very high because no-one paid the full million pounds sterling debt they held years ago. Eiplec - ಠ_ಠ (talk) 13:22, September 28, 2013 (UTC)
 * 200px-Flag_of_Tunisia_svg.pngBarbary States of Tunis and Tripoli: Tunis and Tripoli, long past their pirating days, are now engaged in a relative "Berber competition" to see who can gain a greater market share of the south Mediterranean. Our big trading partners are the Italians, French and Spaniards.
 * Civil_Flag_of_Serbia.svgPrincipality of Serbia: Serbians, along with their Balkan counterparts, like the Bosnians, are probably the most happy about the new arrangement. Talks of rebellion had been brewing in the Serbian provinces prior to the division, but the people were shocked to find great autonomy. Loyalty to the Ottomans, especially the new Christian Vizier, soars.
 * Flag_of_the_United_Principalities_of_Romania_(1862_-_1866).svgPrincipiality of Romania: Similar to what has happened in Serbia, Romanians are now extremely grateful of the reforms, and can't wait to see what Abdulaziz has in store for the near future. The new Prince of Bucharest declares "Let Romania, Bulgaria, Serbia, and all of our brother Ottomans prosper for another 500 years!"
 * Bulgarian_Flag_%28WHF%29.pngPrincipiality of Bulgaria: Bulgarians, who are probably more integrated, due to proximity, to the Turks, aren't as grateful towards the Emperor, because they consider the action to have improved the Bulgarian condition little - they did well under the central empire. Nonetheless, the exodus of Turks into Turkey leads to a new era of self-government for the Bulgars.

Anything regarding propaganda about your people will be considered your government views, as the Ottoman Empire is on the verge of losing its territories during this time period. User:Edboy452    (talk) 05:13, September 28, 2013 (UTC)

'''Is what you are saying is that all the statements of "grateful towards the Emperor" are not applicable? Because I, for one, think this new system is much better for the Europeans. The Chief of Government is a Christian! This is a HUUGE step forwards! This is unfathomable, really. I should think gratitude is in order.'''

'''And no, this isn't ASB. Abdulaziz I was a mastermind behind the millet, and this policy is just an extension of the millet. In OTL he was assasainated. In this ATL, he still lives! That was a large cause behind the Serbian revolts, his successors, Murad V and Abdul Hamid II. Without these two tyrants (and their Viziers), the Empire could've held on for a few more years.''' 05:46, September 28, 2013 (UTC)

Qing Dynasty: We continue our Westernization and we begin exerting influence. We begin utilizing our military to crush the protests and we also send out government pamphlets for people to move into Tibet. "A province of old traditions and never-changing life. Wake up everyday by the rooster and depend your life on the weather. No trade would be needed, since you are only allowed to provide yourself with whatever you need. New technology will be looked down upon and prepare to work manually no matter what." was written on the pamphlet, which satisfied the conservatives and they begin to move into Tibet. However, we disguise some of our soldiers as bandits and attack the immigrants along the way. Also, we begin periodically "forgetting" rice shipments to Tibet to starve the conservatives out. We learned more from European powers, especially the economical fruit of capitalism from Great Britain. we begin our train rail construction and finish the one from Tiangjing to Beijing. The economy continues expanding as the country makes its first rubber, coffee and wine exports. After taking a few rubber seeds, we bring them back to China and plant them in Yunnan. We begin selling more cash crops as it replenished our royal coffers and allowed more people to not die of hunger. We continue capturing the conservatives although releasing them if they agreed to move to ultra-conservative Tibet.

To modernize Chinese thinking, Tongzhi promoted legalism as opposed to Confucianism and gives a law to change 50% of the schools in China to teach science, mechanics and for richer schools, a foreign language. Shin Shi Jin is finished and replaced Spring and Autumn in the 5 Classics. To counter the people against legalism, we wrote new laws against corrption and it satisfied the peasants, who were angry about wide-spread corruption. We also begin catching and punishing corrupt officials. We finished our parliament and two houses are built. Our first election is held and 400 representatives are chosen. We begin slowing our modernization as a direct result of the parliament.

We begin modernizing our military. We ask Britain to buy 100 rifles. Much more naval bases, ammunition factories, arms factories and arsenals are built in major cities and major ports. More navies are sent on patrol in the East China Sea. We begin developing naval ships as we send iron and coal from Shangxxi to Shangdong, where they are built into tiny battleships. Our soldiers begin receiving rifles and swords and axes are taken away to modernize the military. We continue studying the ways to build iron steamboats. We build our first iron steamboat in Shanghai. Students are sent to foreign nations, where their main goal is to study mechanics and the sciences. Our volunteer army has reached 900,000 men and it is steadily increasing every month. We hope to reach an army of 1,000,000 by 1880. We continue to have large amounts of drills in the military and those who fail will be kicked out. We send many of our soldiers to Manchuria to secure it from soem Japanese influence. We stop influencing Kyushu.

Ya Fei Dao continues its expansion.

 France: Railroads and public schools continue their construction in both urban and rural French areas. The reforms to the military end for this year, and the current War Minister begins to look towards increasing hostility in both Africa and Asia. '''After being in Brazil, and the smokeless powder being a success, we begin to work on a new rifle that will be able to effectively use the new smokeless powder. The recent development of the smokeless powder still allows our army to upgrade by 0.25 '''because of its several other military applications rather than just rifle powder. We await the results of our plants sent to our colonies in order to grow our economy even further, and allow quicker colonization of Africa. We continue to increase our influence in Egypt.


 * French Equatorial Africa: Through continental French shipments, the colonial armies become better armed and uniformed, in order to enforce French law and assimilation upon the native populations. The colonial government begins to "hand out" assimilation rights, which actually require a renouncement of current land holdings, allowing for the colonial government to take hold of lands, and "civilize" the natives. The colony begins expansion to the south, beginning with missionary work, then French colonial volunteers. The plants sent to the colony continue cultivation in various farms.
 * French Dahomey: The French 12th Foreign Legion is established in French Dahomey and the 19th Army Corp sends more soldiers to French Dahomey, in order to protect the colonists against the increasingly aggressive Dahomey Kingdoms.
 * New Caledonia: Continental French shipments allow for the small colonial police force to become better armed and uniformed in the wake of recent waves of european immigration from the discovery of nickel in 1864. Since then, colonial population has been ever increasing, and native population slowly decreasing, although tensions are very high.
 * French Senegal: Continental French shipments allow for the colonies armies to become better armed and uniformed. The doctrine of missionary work and abolitionism is still promoted as preparations for another war with the remaining Sengali chiefdoms begins in order to curtail their slave trade and end their pagan practices, as well as gain access to numerous mining ventures.
 * French Indochina: Continental French shipments allow for the large colonial armies to become better armed and uniformed. Soldiers are stationed near the Sino-Indochinese border as support for expansion of the French colonial provinces and catholic faith is advocated for by the governor of the colony. French missionaries are sent into Vietnam and Cambodia to promote Christianity in Asia. The plants sent to the colony continue cultivation in various farms.
 * French Guiana: Continental French shipments allow for the larger colonial armies to become better armed and unformed. Guard presence is increase as more prisoners are sent to the colony. More French immigrants arrive to the colony, prompting the governor to expand the city of Cayenne to account for more ships coming to French Guiana. The plants sent to the colony continue cultivation in various farms.
 * ​French Diplomacy: We send various diplomacys to Great Britain, Belguim, and the Netherlands, requesting they send delegates to Paris to discuss alliances, trade agreements, and colonization.

Germany: We begin a rapid expansion of industry to catch up to other European powers. The steel giant Krupp continues to grow to become one of the largest steel manufacturers in Europe, improving our national economy, thanks in large part to the protection from American and British competition afforded by tariffs and cartels. Coal plants are expanded to locally power our nation. Important mines along the valleys of the rivers Ruhr, Inde, and Wurm are modernized to be safer and more efficient. Numerous small industrial centres begin to spring up, focusing on ironworks using local coal. Our iron and steel works begin buying mines, and erecting coking ovens to supply their own requirements in coke and gas. These integrated coal-iron firms ("Huettenzechen") became numerous with the growth of the industrial sector. The average output of a mine in 1850 was about 8,500 short tons; its employment about 64. We hope to grow these numbers, drastically increasing our output. Total Ruhr coal output rose from 2.0 million short tons in 1850, and is expected to rise to 22 by 1880.The miners in the Ruhr region are divided by ethnicity with Germans and Poles, and religion with Protestants and Catholics, splitting the miners into several unions, with an affiliation to different political parties. Mobility in and out of the mining camps to nearby industrial areas is high. German banks begin to play a central roles in financing German industry. Different banks form cartels in different industries, and Cartel contracts become accepted as legal and binding by German courts, although illegal in Britain and the United States. The process of cartelization begins slowly, but the cartel movement is expected to rise. The government plays a powerful role in the industrialization of the German Empire, during a period known as the Second Industrial Revolution. We supported not only heavy industry but also crafts and trades, to maintain prosperity in all parts of the empire. Local procedures are put in place, so even where the national government does not act, the highly autonomous regional and local governments are expected to support their own industries. Each state is expected to be as self-sufficient as possible. Railroads become crucial in the transfer of German goods across Europe, and modern engines begin to replace outdated models in our nation. Bismarck’s new tariffs on imported grain and the introduction of the sugar beet as a main crop helps to grow agricultural yield. Farmers begin to abandon traditional, inefficient practices, adapting modern farming practices, such as the use of new fertilizers and tools. The knowledge and tools gained from the intensive farming of sugar and other root crops helps to quickly elevate Germany to one of the most efficient agricultural producers in Europe. With the economic push toward industrialization and urbanization, heavy industry (coal and steel especially) become important in the Ruhr, and manufacturing growing in the cities, the Ruhr, and Silesia. Based on its leadership in chemical research in the universities and industrial laboratories, we begin to become dominant in the world's chemical industry. Big businesses such as BASF and Bayer led the way in their production and distribution of artificial dyes and pharmaceuticals during the Wilhelmine era, leading to the German monopolisation of the global chemicals market. Our military continues to be expanded, upgrading our army score by 0.25. We hire the famed explorer Henry Morton Stanley to explore land for us. He begins an expedition into the Congo. We negotiate a trade agreement with the Herero and Khoisan People, claiming the Namibian coast for Germany. Expeditions are also launched into the African Cameroon delta and the mainland coast across from Zanzibar, with a few thousand people and soldiers have begun to settle the areas. Expeditions are also sent to German New Guinea and Samoa. Stanley's settlement becomes known as Fredrickville.
 * Russian Diplomacy: We offer Germany, Austria-Hungary, and the Empire of Japan the proposal of joint military production of our nations most efficient equipment. This will benefit our economies as well as ensure effecient collective security between our nations.

United States of America: Stage One of military build up and fort construction continues on the Union-Confederate border and occupation of Manila and Havanna continue. Hayes is nearing his end of his second term and thus the elections begin with the main issue being how to deal with the Confederates and the secondary issue is how to deal with world politics. Democratic canidate William S. Hancock (A Gettysburg General) supports military build up against the Confederates and less involvement in world politics while James A Garfield supports more cooperation with the Confederates and more involvement in world politics.

Russia: Mining of gold and oil continues in Alaska at exponential rates, bringing a couple thousand barrels of oil each day. Taxes begin to lower on the peasant class of the population in attempts to bring down future civil unrest. Our navy score increases by 0.25. Alexander Andronikashvili continues to be trained.

Greece: The Military and navy is built up, It asks an alliance with Britain, France, Brazil and the Russians, and the colonial settlements in Nigeria and Tanzania continue growing, a small outpost is made in Patagonia called Nea Athina begins a taxation policy to avoid the bankrupcy of the nation and the creation of a military politic to avoid civil war, as well as an aperture to the people of greece by the establishment of a senate Military is increased by 0.25

1880
'''Mod event will be added later. I'm currently a little busy today.''' User:Edboy452    (talk) 19:46, September 28, 2013 (UTC)

Japan: Navy score increases by 0.25. more boats are sent to patrol the waters. The rebels in the qing continue to be funded. With chinas cololny in Africa, Japan decides to start a colony in OTL Somalila. People and food and other necessities are gathered, and they are expected to set sail in 1881

Empire of Brazil: The construction of the 1879 Afonso Rifle continues with outfitting of the military with this weaponry continuing. Brazils First Turret Ship named the Dom Pedro II is launched and it is named a top notch ship of the line, its plans however begin to be adapted as the Ship begins its tests. The Ships designs however are adapted with new developing propulsion technology and the possibility of Using Steel on a warship considered the designs begin to be Adapted with the first of the class to be finished by 1885-1887. The Empire also uses its ever increasing funds and trade between multiple nations particularly Great Britain, Mexico, and the US to bolster its Armed forces adding almost 50,000 soldiers to the military. These Troops are deployed in Eastern Brazil near Bolivia.

The Railroad expansion programs successfuly reach many more rubber, coffee and sugar plantations adding to the efficiency to the separate industries inent on maintaining the large practices and businesses in Brazil through increased and better ability of transport and better ability to take the products to ports and other countries for trade. The Empire also reasserts its control over the Amazon deploying police, and reservists throughout camps and bases throughout the edges of the forest and going as far as to establish bases in the northern sections of the forest in order to help watch and fully secure the borders of Brazil. The Empire also begins developing a Coastal Road/Highway system but allows for separate State economies to handle it and the Government just dole out certain portions of funding to each state involved. The Education of the Emperors grandson continues with a Structured Regency beginning to be developed for him if Dem Pedro II dies before his Grandson is of age to take the throne. The Education program is continued for him and he is given several high class tutors from Great Britain to begin Teaching him the mechanics of running a large spanning empire, A tutor from Brazils Own Foreign ministry to help him learn some of the arts of diplomacy and peace. A tutor from the United States to teach begin teaching him how to run a successful and highly increasing economy. And the Empire himself teaches him about population control, Appeasement, and management. At this young age only very easy to grasp and basic concepts are covered. The Emperor also takes much time along with the boys to teach him many things about the world and valuable life skills.

The Brazilian economy continues to advance with Colonial trade and economics now helping push the economy forward. The push towards turning the colonies and their plantations and specific industries into businesses continue. The Brazilian trade posts continue to be set up across Western Africa using the new prestige and wealth to set up across the area managing to establish a near unbroken sea trade system from Gabon to Angola. The Government also highly encourages expansion of the colonies into the African Interior intent on securing much of the African Interior to prevent more ruthless colonial empire from securing the areas. The rubber trees planted in multiple colonies begin to grow heavily with their expected harvesting date in the next couple years.  Brazilian Trade posts now dot the coasts of West Africa from the Colony in Cameroon, to Angola preventing any other major colonizers from getting a foothold in the Area. Nigeria however is left out of Brazil's current colonization policy. '''Brazil begins subversively sending propaganda to Venezuela. ''' The population of the Empire grows to about 22 million with the consideration of Adding other colonial African population to the numbers to truly include the policies in all aspects of the empire. Brazil seeing the active role colonists are taking begins to sectionalize investment into the colonies attempting at working at domestic improvement as well. New immigrants as well as previous slaves are used to either start new plantations, or hired as wage labor for plantations as well as industry intent on securing positions for an advancing economy. Belgium: We agree to Germany's trade agreement and join Switzerland's defense pact. We also ask for an alliance with Great Britain. The people of Belgium see Britain, France, and Spain's several colonies and want a colony too. Some brave men and women have even volunteered to go to the colony if they were formed. King Leopold II, too, wants a colony of Belgium's and looks to the Congo Free State in Africa. The king builds the army and increases the economical factory production.
 * Dominion of Portugal: Portugal now seeing the benefits of Brazils role in Portugal develops a small armed force of About 20,000 under the control of the Dominions local leader, and under the full control of the Emperor of Brazil. The Dominion also uses its economic and trade standing to help out its economy and for the first time in decades has intermarriages with people from Brazil such as businessmen and even some of the Brazilian soldiers stationed in the Dominion. The Portuguese with direct involvement by jointly owned businesses in Portugal and Brazil begin industrialization of Portugal intent on making Portugal more of a member of the Empire. Portuguese and Brazilians continue Cultural integration in the country intent on mixing the populations of the countries to a degree. However the every increasing growth of the Brazilian population definately keeps Portugals growth and importance in check. The Portuguese with their economic improvement and their status within the Empire continue to look Favorably at Brazil the population seeing the notable improvement of their country following integration into the Brazilian empire. This increases our economy by 0.25.
 * Goa: The colony of Goa continues its trade of spices and other things from India and some seeds for rubber trees are planted intent on turning Goa into a cash crop colony. The rubber industry begins to take off as trees more near to their ripe age are harvested in Goa and money starting to flow into the colony.
 * Macau: Macau continues to funnel trade from China but now by default it Fronts to the Empire of Brazil beginning to increase the Asian base of Trade to Brazil.
 * East Timor: The economy is continually based around cash crops with coffee being a huge export as well as rubber trees beng planted for better cultivation. Rubber begins to develop more with plantations for it beginning to take precedence over others.
 * Angola: Angola continues its economic production of gold, spices, diamonds, with plantation economy coming on the rise with agricultural products coming into play. Rubber trees are planted in Angola to help expand Brazil's growing rubber industries. The immigration from Brazil and Portugal continue to expand the colony quite a bit pushing territorial control farther inland. Slave and Exploitation based labor are phased out with legitimate industries being made out of them with fair wages being a staple. This actually establishes better output at the people are less inclined to hate their new leaders due to the new economic policy. Angola begins to expand inland a bit and manages to establish a rudimentary trade road up the West African coast to trading posts just north of Angola, and with expansion up too Gabon and Equatorial Guinea continued and areas paved for a road all the way up to the trade colony in Cameroon. Propoganda from Brazil is diffused through the colony and some of the first Brazilian-African marriages are held. Rubber is also heavily predicted to be a big grower in Angola, with the plantation economics beginning to gear towards the inclusion of rubber. The Colony begins to help other colonial expansion securing much of the West African coast for Brazil and her colonial interests. The Expansion into the Interior continues with Brazilian funding and Investment through trade allowing for full scale securing of the Interior.
 * Mozambique: The Colony of Mozambique continues its cash crop and plantation economy substituting Native exploitation with true and fair wages which in turn help the impoverished gain a better life foothold but in doing so actually give the Plantations increased output. The Expansion into the Interior begins with more settlers escorted by members of the military staking claims further into Mozambique aimed at securing more resources. The Colonial population continues to look more favorable towards Brazil and the status of Brazils investment into the colonies.
 * Gabon: The Colony of Gabon expands to 7000 and is considered a true colony of the Brazilian empire with growing influence in the Gabon and Cameroon Areas due to the prevention of Slavers, and the growing respect by Africans to the Brazilian settlers. The Colony now with about 1000 Brazilian troops expands up and down the coast simultaneously in attempts to prevent slaving but also in expanding the plantation ability of the colony. The colony also begins to include hundreds of Africans seeking work from the Brazilian industries and plantations developing in the area. The colonial jurisdiction of Gabon is extended to include colonies around it greating the Greater Gabon Colonial Jurisdiction. Which masterminds the securing of more internal Territory aiming to gain a large foothold in the interior over the next few years.
 * Cameroon: The Cameroon colony established a few years ago reaches a population of 1200 which is a mix of Portuguese and Brazilian lower classes looking for a new life. The Population also begins to include about 700 African natives that wish to profit from the trade the Brazilian empire is bringing. The Colony also helps in the West African monopolization by Brazil helping secure the Trade and colony rights from Cameroon, to Angola. The colony with its expanded territory as well begins bringing in more natives as securing the Interior becomes a prime directive of many of the incomming settlers from Brazil and Portugal.
 * Brazil Dip: We offer a Trade Agreement to the German empire in order to fuel their aggressive industrial growth.

Trade between the two nations have increased and the use of the Swedish language in Norway has grown. We continue research into technologies for mining and we have come up with a nw method after 3 years of research. It is called the Asalando drill. It is a much more efficiant way of mining and has so far not caused any deaths. It has increased tunneling times by 20% and the machine is mass produced to all tunnel mines in Sweden and Norway. '''Any nation who wants the buy the Asalando drill can do so. '''We also finish a few smaller battle vessels capable of protecting our shores. We increase our trade output.

 * Argentina Diplomacy: we are interested in buying your nation, a gun park and several new rifles, as well as at least one or two Battleship you have to dispose to improve our outdated armed forces.

Qing Dynasty: We continue our Westernization and we begin exerting influence. We begin utilizing our military to crush the protests and we also send out government pamphlets for people to move into Tibet. At least 5 million conservatives have died due to the Great Immigration and we decide to begin somethings slightly more brutal. We begin to dress at least 60,000 soldiers as bandits and raid Yaan, Aba, and Deqing, areas where immigrants pass thorugh. Then, another 20,000 soldier will show out and the bandit-soldiers will escape. Then they will change their clothing and say the bandits are defeated and tell the immigrants to calm down. Another 3 million immigrants were murdered this way. We begin sending more legalist propaganda and says that conservatism will need to destruction of Qing. We ask them to stop their destruction of government buildings and wait patiently to see how modernization has done China much good. We learned more from European powers, especially the economical fruit of capitalism from Great Britain. we begin our train rail construction and begin one from Beijing to Guanzhou. The economy continues expanding as the country makes its first rubber, coffee and wine exports. We begin selling more cash crops as it replenished our royal coffers and allowed more people to not die of hunger. We continue capturing the conservatives although releasing them if they agreed to move to ultra-conservative Tibet.

To modernize Chinese thinking, Tongzhi promoted legalism as opposed to Confucianism and gives a law to change 50% of the schools in China to teach science, mechanics and for richer schools, a foreign language. Shin Shi Jin is finished and replaced Spring and Autumn in the 5 Classics. To counter the people against legalism, we wrote new laws against corrption and it satisfied the peasants, who were angry about wide-spread corruption. We also begin catching and punishing corrupt officials. We finished our parliament and two houses are built. We begin slowing down modernization, although we sped up education and made schooling compusory under a fine of 200 taels of silver. We begin starting a paper currency and turn our economy into gold-based.

We begin modernizing our military. We ask to buy 100 rifles from Belgium. Much more naval bases, ammunition factories, arms factories and arsenals are built in major cities and major ports. More navies are sent on patrol in the East China Sea. We begin developing naval ships as we send iron and coal from Shangxxi to Shangdong, where they are built into tiny battleships. Our soldiers begin receiving rifles and swords and axes are taken away to modernize the military. We continue studying the ways to build iron steamboats. We build our first iron steamboat in Shanghai. Students are sent to foreign nations, where their main goal is to study mechanics and the sciences.

Switzerland: The infrastructure score upgrades by .025 due to more roads and rail lines being built. The port city continues to be worked on, and is going to be commissioned in 1882. The Swiss government finishes up the Swiss Redoubt.

Ottoman Empire: After last year's amazingly shocking information about the "Westernification," and Abdulaziz's efforts to maintain his empire by giving his people more liberty and promising them greater freedoms and protection from foreign powers. The Emperor reminds his European subjects that if they were to seek independence, the Austrians or Russians would easily dismantle their freedoms, and assures his people that the liberties that they are receiving from the Ottomans is greater than what they can receive from anybody else. The Muslim Grand Vizier begins to spread propaganda very discreetly throughout the empire. The new Grand Vizier system kicks off this year, with the first notable elections in Ottoman history taking place. A large turnout appears, and from the viewpoint of many of the emperor's courtiers, they believe he is trying to eliminate the Emperor to be only a figurehead, with the real power in the hands of the people. In order to achieve this, he encourages his autonomous regions to create their own local Parliaments, and says a national parliament will be organized next year. The Chief Grand Vizier has called for a census to be had this year. The autonomous regions do the following:
 * Blue_Turkey.jpgSultante of Turkey: Turkey continues to be a sight of massive industrialization, with factories sprouting in every major city, and with agriculture rising vastly due to the new techniques brought about by industrialization. With all of the growth, the population rises to a staggering 20 million, mostly Turks, with a small minority of Armenians and Greeks.
 * Flag_of_Kingdom_of_Syria_%281920-03-08_to_1920-07-24%29.svgSultanate of Syria: Syria is also undergoing many of the important industrializations as Turkey, with factories sprouting in Damascus and Aleppo, and farms growing around oases. New technology also allows farming to be done with less water. All of this is causing a baby-boom, and the population reaches 5 million. Damascus is becoming extremely important in the region for trade.
 * Flag_of_Baghdad_%28No_Napoleon%29.svgSultanate of Baghdad: Baghhdadis, now almost always called Iraqis enjoy the same priveleges as Turks living in Baghdad. Kurds, which were relatively well protected since they were Turkic often move into Turkey proper. This allows more, valuable, land to become available to the Iraqis, and their economy begins to be agricultural, although the sciences are still important in the inner-city of Baghdad. The population is 6 million, and is ever-growing due to the prevalence of new technology.
 * Flag_of_Palestine.pngMost Holy Levantine Protectorate: The Levant, The importance of the Holy Land is continuing, and the Grand Viziers personally lead Jerusalem. Elections go over extremely well, and Christians, Jews, and Muslims are all happy. The Levant has a population of about 1 million, which is some-what stagnant, since the major industries are small in comparasion to those around them.
 * Drapeau_de_la_R%C3%A9publique_Arabe_Islamique_%28Union_tuniso-libyenne%29.svgCaliphal Lands of Mecca and Medina: Medina and Mecca are both directly under the command of the Caliph, who is also the Emperor. Medina is still the most powerful city economically, but Mecca begins to grow in importance as wealthy Arabians set up tourist industries to cash in on the hajjis. The population, which is growing rapidly to 3 million, and forces the continuation of expansion into Yemen, and the populace has reached Aden.
 * 200px-Flag_of_Egypt.svg.pngSemi-Autonomous Egyptian Kingdom: After a troubling period of debt, the Egyptian Kingdom is more or less fiscally sound, thanks to the French. This new fical policy is helpful, and cities along the Suez gain loads of business. Cairo and Alexandria continue to be major cities that play a huge role in Egypt. The king continues the expansion southwards, and now we share a large border with Ethiopia. Industry and agriculture are doing really well, and a baby boom is entered. This spurs the population to 12 million, and also helps to reduce the debt by the creation of new jobs.
 * 200px-Flag_of_Tunisia_svg.pngBarbary States of Tunis and Tripoli: By trading with the Italians, Spaniards, French, and Swiss, the Berbr competition is heating up. Large amounts of pressure are placed on Algiers, their fellow Barbary nation, to take up pan-Barbarism, a movement for unification of all north African states. The population reaches about 5 million, as food production and industrial production grow in the main cities.
 * Civil_Flag_of_Serbia.svgPrincipality of Serbia: Serbians, along with their Balkan counterparts, like the Bosnians, are probably the most happy about the new arrangement. Talks of rebellion had been brewing in the Serbian provinces prior to the division, but the people were shocked to find great autonomy. Loyalty to the Ottomans, especially the new Christian Vizier, soars. In large cities like Sarajevo and Belgrade, people begin to urbanize, and industry starts to grow along. This is carefully managed, however, by the Vizier. Population has reached 4 million.
 * Flag_of_the_United_Principalities_of_Romania_(1862_-_1866).svgPrincipiality of Romania: Similar to what has happened in Serbia, Romanians are now extremely grateful of the reforms, and are appreciative of the "Westernification" which allows them to be competitive in the Austrian and Russian markets. Rural people move into cities like Bucharest, and industry begins to grow by large amounts due to the "Westernificiation". Population hits 5 million.
 * Bulgarian_Flag_%28WHF%29.pngPrincipiality of Bulgaria: Bulgaria, which is already the most advanced, and most Turkish, of Ottoman Europe, continues to advance, although less gains are made here than in the other regions, because more infrastructure existed beforhand. Nonetheless, farming techniques and industrial manufacturing in Sofia continue to grow, and the economy grows powerful off of the Black Sea. With the ongoing baby-boom, the population of Bulgaria has reached 4 million.
 * In total, the population of the Ottoman Empire is 70 million . We ask to become an associated member of the PAC (see Talk Page). We ask Great Britain and France for a 3 way, mutual defense, military alliance, called the Euro-Asian Coalition. We also ask the NPC Saudi Kingdom to become an autonomous region of the Empire, and benefit from it growth in industrialization.

In OTL the Ottoman Empire at this time only had a population of around 30,000,000.

France: Railroads and public schools continue their construction in both urban and rural French areas. The reforms to the military end for this year, and the current War Minister begins to look towards increasing hostility in both Africa and Asia. After being in Brazil, and the smokeless powder being a success, we continue to work on a new rifle that will be able to effectively use the new smokeless powder because of its several other military applications rather than just rifle powder. We await the results of our plants sent to our colonies in order to grow our economy even further, and allow quicker colonization of Africa. We continue to increase our influence in Egypt. United States of America: William S. Hancock wins the election by a slim majority and thus the military development program on the Union-Confederate border continues and thus Stage 2 of the military program, defensive training, begins. '''This increanses our army score by 0.25. '''President Hancock also writes up the Treaty of Havana, which shall officially bring Cuba and the Philippines into American hands. Since Hancock one by a slim margin, however, there is devision in Congress regarding the Confederacy. It was eventually decided that there should be temparory peace with the CSA. As such a 5 to 10 year Non-aggression pact is offered to the CSA.
 * French Equatorial Africa: Through continental French shipments, the colonial armies become better armed and uniformed, in order to enforce French law and assimilation upon the native populations. The colonial government begins to "hand out" assimilation rights, which actually require a renouncement of current land holdings, allowing for the colonial government to take hold of lands, and "civilize" the natives. The colony begins expansion to the south, beginning with missionary work, then French colonial volunteers. The plants sent to the colony continue cultivation in plantations now.
 * French Dahomey: The French 12th Foreign Legion is established in French Dahomey and the 19th Army Corp sends more soldiers to French Dahomey, in order to protect the colonists against the increasingly aggressive Dahomey Kingdoms.
 * New Caledonia: Continental French shipments allow for the small colonial police force to become better armed and uniformed in the wake of recent waves of european immigration from the discovery of nickel in 1864. Since then, colonial population has been ever increasing, and native population slowly decreasing, although tensions are very high.
 * French Senegal: Continental French shipments allow for the colonies armies to become better armed and uniformed. The doctrine of missionary work and abolitionism is still promoted as preparations for another war with the remaining Sengali chiefdoms begins in order to curtail their slave trade and end their pagan practices, as well as gain access to numerous mining ventures.
 * French Indochina: Continental French shipments allow for the large colonial armies to become better armed and uniformed. Soldiers are stationed near the Sino-Indochinese border as support for expansion of the French colonial provinces and catholic faith is advocated for by the governor of the colony. French missionaries are sent into Vietnam and Cambodia to promote Christianity in Asia. The plants sent to the colony continue cultivation in plantations now
 * French Guiana: Continental French shipments allow for the larger colonial armies to become better armed and unformed. Guard presence is increase as more prisoners are sent to the colony. More French immigrants arrive to the colony, prompting the governor to expand the city of Cayenne to account for more ships coming to French Guiana. The plants sent to the colony continue cultivation plantations now.

'''Nations within the Balkans under Ottoman Rule begin to protest for complete independence, with many nationalist groups rising across the Serbia, Romania, Bulgaria, and Bosnia and Herzegovina. '''

'''British troops within Spain begin to easily travel across the nation without pause. '''

Sorry I wasn't able to post better mod events guys, I'm currently busy trying to fix something in my house. User:Edboy452    (talk) 19:39, September 29, 2013 (UTC)

'''The Revolts are a bit crazy in the Ottomans. The Prime Minister (Grand Vizier) is a Christian, who is presumably from the Balkans. Also, the Bulgarians and Romanians aren't really so much Balkan as the others. Finally, the people have a great deal of autonomy. We don't even tax them on the federal level, we just provide protection. Therefore, you must provide some form of reasoning because I do not know why a people would rebel simply for the lolz. '''

'''Yeah can we stop with the severe targeting of the Ottomans. its getting kind of ridiculous especially when hes making decent efforts to Improve things &#35;LivinLikeFeudal (talk)'''

'''It's one Islamo-Turkish Sultan over Christian Serbians the conflict is ever present. Eiplec - ಠ_ಠ (talk) 23:49, September 29, 2013 (UTC)'''

No, there is a Turkish Emperor, but he is officially just a figurehead this turn.

'''Here  is why Serbia is protesting, be happy they are still under your rule right now, as they should already be completely independent in 1833. Here is why Bulgaria is protesting, and the lack of taxes on them, actually should lead to an Ottoman state bankruptcy, which in turn, does not bode well for any empire. Here is why Romania is Protesting. Eiplec - ಠ_ಠ (talk) 12:47, September 30, 2013 (UTC)'''

Japan: The military continues upgrade. A small population boom occurs. enough people are signed up, and the first 4 ships set sail for what they want is OTL Merca. After a good 6 months of sailing, they land near OTL Kismaayo. Out of the about 200(is this a plausible number?) people who sailes, 35 died. They begin constructing a small village and starting farms to live. They begin to trade with the local people. Funding of the rebels in the qing continues. Army score is increased by 0.25.

Joseon: The infrastructure is improved. Some more Confucian, Buddhist and Taoist temples are built. The army is built up and its score is increased by 0.25.
 * Argentinian Diplomacy: We would like to sign a Trading Treaty with your Sovereign Nation.
 * Joseon Diplomacy: King Gojong accept Argentina's trading agreement offer.

Empire of Brazil: The Brazilian Emperor once again starts becomming dissallusioned with the Monarchy only taking active role in some of the larger goings ons of the empire allowing the many programs he has enacted and ministers to handle many of the situations that arise. The Emperor for the most part  takes exclusive interest in his Grandson, continuing to teach him about running an empire and takes his 5th birthday to go hunting and teach him of the outdoors with his father as well. The Development of a weak Regency to take place of the Emperor in case of his death is to take the place of the Grandson Pedro, until he can take the throne of the Empire. A Failsafe is built into the Regency that if the Regency attempts to seize power than some of the Emperors most trusted generals and advisors would dissolve the regency and run the country until the Emperor came of Age. However with the many advisors many believe that the Emperor could take the mantle as early as the age of 16 with close advisors.

The Railroad expansion programs successfuly reach many more rubber, coffee and sugar plantations adding to the efficiency to the separate industries inent on maintaining the large practices and businesses in Brazil through increased and better ability of transport and better ability to take the products to ports and other countries for trade. The Empire also reasserts its control over the Amazon deploying police, and reservists throughout camps and bases throughout the edges of the forest and going as far as to establish bases in the northern sections of the forest in order to help watch and fully secure the borders of Brazil. The Empire also begins developing a Coastal Road/Highway system but allows for separate State economies to handle it and the Government just dole out certain portions of funding to each state involved. The Education of the Emperors grandson continues with a Structured Regency beginning to be developed for him if Dem Pedro II dies before his Grandson is of age to take the throne. The Education program is continued for him and he is given several high class tutors from Great Britain to begin Teaching him the mechanics of running a large spanning empire, A tutor from Brazils Own Foreign ministry to help him learn some of the arts of diplomacy and peace. A tutor from the United States to teach begin teaching him how to run a successful and highly increasing economy. And the Empire himself teaches him about population control, Appeasement, and management. At this young age only very easy to grasp and basic concepts are covered. The Emperor also takes much time along with the boy to teach him many things about the world and valuable life skills.

The Brazilian economy continues to advance with Colonial trade and economics now helping push the economy forward. The push towards turning the colonies and their plantations and specific industries into businesses continue. The Brazilian trade posts continue to be set up across Western Africa using the new prestige and wealth to set up across the area managing to establish a near unbroken sea trade system from Gabon to Angola. The Government also highly encourages expansion of the colonies into the African Interior intent on securing much of the African Interior to prevent more ruthless colonial empire from securing the areas. The rubber trees planted in multiple colonies begin to grow heavily with their expected harvesting date in the next couple years.  Brazilian Trade posts now dot the coasts of West Africa from the Colony in Cameroon, to Angola preventing any other major colonizers from getting a foothold in the Area. Nigeria however is left out of Brazil's current colonization policy. '''Brazil begins subversively sending propaganda to Venezuela. ''' The population of the Empire grows to about 22.9 million with the consideration of Adding other colonial African population to the numbers to truly include the policies in all aspects of the empire. Brazil seeing the active role colonists are taking begins to sectionalize investment into the colonies attempting at working at domestic improvement as well. New immigrants as well as previous slaves are used to either start new plantations, or hired as wage labor for plantations as well as industry intent on securing positions for an advancing economy. The Push or Brazilian peoples in Congo continues with legitimate settlements springing up throughout the central area. Italy: 100 people are sent to the colony in West Africa, supplies were also sent. A second town is being                       started. Meanwhile back in Italy the Democratic Movement is not as strong as it use to be. However the citizens of Italy are given a few more rights.
 * Dominion of Portugal: Portugal now seeing the benefits of Brazils role in Portugal develops a small armed force of About 20,000 under the control of the Dominions local leader, and under the full control of the Emperor of Brazil. The Dominion also uses its economic and trade standing to help out its economy and for the first time in decades has intermarriages with people from Brazil such as businessmen and even some of the Brazilian soldiers stationed in the Dominion. The Portuguese with direct involvement by jointly owned businesses in Portugal and Brazil begin industrialization of Portugal intent on making Portugal more of a member of the Empire. Portuguese and Brazilians continue Cultural integration in the country intent on mixing the populations of the countries to a degree. However the every increasing growth of the Brazilian population definately keeps Portugals growth and importance in check. The Portuguese with their economic improvement and their status within the Empire continue to look Favorably at Brazil the population seeing the notable improvement of their country following integration into the Brazilian empire.  This increases out economy by 0..25
 * Goa: The colony of Goa continues its trade of spices and other things from India and some seeds for rubber trees are planted intent on turning Goa into a cash crop colony. The rubber industry begins to take off as Trees more near to their ripe age are harvested in Goa and money starting to flow into the colony.
 * Macau: Macau continues to funnel trade from China but now by default it Fronts to the Empire of Brazil beginning to increase the Asian base of Trade to Brazil.
 * East Timor: The economy is continually based around cash crops with coffee being a huge export as well as rubber trees beng planted for better cultivation. Rubber begins to develop more with plantations for it beginning to take precedence over others. Some Settlers from East Timor move to New Guinea establishing a small trading outpost.
 * Angola: Angola continues its economic production of gold, spices, diamonds, with plantation economy coming on the rise with agricultural products coming into play. Rubber trees are planted in Angola to help expand Brazil's growing rubber industries. The immigration from Brazil and Portugal continue to expand the colony quite a bit pushing territorial control farther inland. Slave and Exploitation based labor are phased out with legitimate industries being made out of them with fair wages being a staple. This actually establishes better output at the people are less inclined to hate their new leaders due to the new economic policy. Angola begins to expand inland a bit and manages to establish a rudimentary trade road up the West African coast to trading posts just north of Angola, and with expansion up too Gabon and Equatorial Guinea continued and areas paved for a road all the way up to the trade colony in Cameroon. Propoganda from Brazil is diffused through the colony and some of the first Brazilian-African marriages are held. Rubber is also heavily predicted to be a big grower in Angola, with the plantation economics beginning to gear towards the inclusion of rubber. The Colony begins to help other colonial expansion securing much of the West African coast for Brazil and her colonial interests. The Expansion into the Interior continues with Brazilian funding and Investment through trade allowing for full scale securing of the Interior.
 * Mozambique: The Colony of Mozambique continues its cash crop and plantation economy substituting Native exploitation with true and fair wages which in turn help the impoverished gain a better life foothold but in doing so actually give the Plantations increased output. The Expansion into the Interior begins with more settlers escorted by members of the military staking claims further into Mozambique aimed at securing more resources. The Colonial population continues to look more favorable towards Brazil and the status of Brazils investment into the colonies. The possibility of a Trans-African Railroad is brought up going from Angola to Mozambique in an attempt to allow for more connections throgh the colonies.
 * Gabon: The Colony of Gabon expands to 7000 and is considered a true colony of the Brazilian empire with growing influence in the Gabon and Cameroon Areas due to the prevention of Slavers, and the growing respect by Africans to the Brazilian settlers. The Colony now with about 1000 Brazilian troops expands up and down the coast simultaneously in attempts to prevent slaving but also in expanding the plantation ability of the colony. The colony also begins to include hundreds of Africans seeking work from the Brazilian industries and plantations developing in the area. The colonial jurisdiction of Gabon is extended to include colonies around it greating the Greater Gabon Colonial Jurisdiction. Which masterminds the securing of more internal Territory aiming to gain a large foothold in the interior over the next few years. expansion into the interior continues.
 * Cameroon: The Cameroon colony established a few years ago reaches a population of 2000 which is a mix of Portuguese and Brazilian lower classes looking for a new life. The Colony also helps in the West African monopolization by Brazil helping secure the Trade and colony rights from Cameroon, to Angola. The colony with its expanded territory as well begins bringing in more natives as securing the Interior becomes a prime directive of many of the incomming settlers from Brazil and Portugal.


 * Italian Dimplomacy to Spain: Unfortunately we can not help  your nation fight against your                                     Britsh invaders due to fact that the UK is the strongest nation in the world. We are a neutral country. But we do wish you the best of luck.

Belgium: We quickly begin to rapidly boost our economy by building factories and businesses to industrialize. We increase our economy by 0.25.
 * French Diplomacy: We request a trade agreement and an alliance between our nations.

Switzerland: The port city is almost complete. The government begins to plan an emergency contingency in the case of an invasion. A non-aggression pact is offered to Belgium. 18 more artillery pieces are built and sent to fortify the coast until permanent structures are constructed.
 * Belgium Dip:  We agree to the non aggression pact.

Colombia: The military and economy is increased. The Brazillian offers are accepted. The infrastructure of the nation improves as more jobs are created. The offer for trade deals to the CSA still stands.
 * French Diplomacy: We request to construct a canal between the Pacific and Atlantic oceans through a strip of land in Panama, which will be surveyed and then dug out by the architect of the Suez Canal, Ferdinand de Lesseps.
 * Argentinian Diplomacy: We would like to sign a Trading Treaty with your Sovereign Nation.
 * Colombian Diplomacy: Accepted, but we want a 15% cut of all goods travelling through this canal you propose. The Argentinian deal is also accepted.
 * French Diplomacy: The conditions are accepted, and Ferdinand de Lesseps will travel to the land in Panama to survey very soon.
 * CSA: We accept graciously.

Ottoman Empire: So far, by giving an increased amount of freedom to the semi-independent states, by promoting "Westernification" which includes a great economic boost to the Empire, and by implementing three, millet based, Grand Viziers, the Ottoman Emperor is widely loved by the populace of the Empire. He notes that "there are some who wish to seize all of the power for themselves and ignore the benefits of our relationship." The Christian Vizier appeals to the Roman Catholic Pope, who holds massive influence in the Chritstian regions, urging him to recognize the importance on Christianity in the Ottoman Empire, and the growth of the faith under the current Sultan. The Parliament of the Empire is officially introduced this year, and politcal parties begin to form, suprisingly not based around religious affiliation but by political ideology of Labour vs Conservative vs Liberal (similar to the UK at the time). A few nationalistic parties are also formed, but are normally under 5% and forced to be in a coalition with the smallest of the "Big Three" - the Labour party. The Parliament is considered a large success. The military grows. (Note: All posts will now only include nations that have an interesting role to play in the current year's affairs) The autonomous regions do the following: Chinese D: We ask to buy 100 rifles and rifle blue prints.
 * Drapeau_de_la_R%C3%A9publique_Arabe_Islamique_%28Union_tuniso-libyenne%29.svgCaliphal Lands of Mecca and Medina: Expansion into Yemen continues.
 * 200px-Flag_of_Egypt.svg.pngSemi-Autonomous Egyptian Kingdom: Expansion into Egypt continues.
 * Civil_Flag_of_Serbia.svgPrincipality of Serbia:  The Prince of Serbia, under large, yet hidden, pressure from the Christian Vizier announces his intentions to remain in the Empire. He also calls Independantists "a small fragment of those who are not economically sound enough to maintain themselves - let alone our nation!"
 * Flag_of_the_United_Principalities_of_Romania_(1862_-_1866).svgPrincipiality of Romania: Similar to what has happened in Serbia, Romanians are now extremely grateful of the reforms, and are appreciative of the "Westernification" which allows them to be competitive in the Austrian and Russian markets. The Prince also calls Independantists "the lower-crust of our society."
 * Bulgarian_Flag_%28WHF%29.pngPrincipiality of Bulgaria: Bulgaria, which is already the most advanced, and most Turkish, of Ottoman Europe, continues to advance. The baby-boom continues. Indepence movements are almost non-existant in the most fortunate - and appreciative - of Ottoman Europe.
 * I will not be able to post on Monday or Tuesday. Please, do not disband my empire. Thanks.

Belgium: We tell the Chinese that we agree to sell rifles as long as China agrees out trade agreement and non-aggression pact.

Denmark: The design for the small battleship is finished and we have begun construction. This new class of ship will be called "Voyager". We are only making 1 to start with and if that is successful we will make another 4 in the following years. The numbers of our military force have increased past the expected amount by a subtantial amount and is expected to exceed numbers of 60,000. More jobs in agriculture are created to cater for this increase ofsoldiers. further research is being put into the dry cell and is showing good signs of working.
 * French Diplomacy: We wish to begin trade relations with the Kingdom of Denmark.

United Kingdoms of Sweden and Norway: The Asalando drill is mass produced. Mining increases a lot due to this. We finish off a medium sized battle vessel and we contiinue to strengthen ties between Swedes and Norse peoples. We begin development of some artillary weapons and other weapons that can be used on our naval vessels. We increase our medical reseach into unknown deseases. We expand our geographical research in Svalbard as we look into ice structure to tell the past. Many thing discovered show a longer history than expected which drives many scientists across our nation to research into Earths history. Belgian Dip: We to buy some weapons and cannons for our army and fleet to defend ourselves. We also declare that we will be neutral in all wars for the next 30 years. Lastly, we look to Rwanda to make a colony. If any other country if already is or wants to colonize Rwanda too, please let us know.
 * Sweden-Norway Diplomacy: We invite international scientists to Svalbard.
 * Belgian Diplomacy: We send a team of 50 of our best scientists over. We also ask for an trade agreement with Sweden-Norway.
 * French Diplomacy: We wish to begin trade relations with the Kingdom of Sweden-Norway.
 * Chinese Dip: We send our expert scientists, who attempt to steal rifle secrets from Sweden and Norway

France: The railroads and public schools continue their construction in both urban and rural French areas. In order to further our industrial output and the rights of industrial workers in France, '''a series of labor reforms are paraded under the Waldeck-Rousseau Acts, named after the French Republican  Pierre Waldeck-Rousseau who is currently the largest advocate for reforms. ''' The first part of the act lifts the ban on trade unions within France to allow for a more organized workforce which allows for greater employment and industrial growth. The second part of the reforms creates the ''Inspection du travail (Labor inspection board). ''The board consists of  establishing a body of 15 divisionary inspectors, and several departmental inspectors, who are in charge of surveying of employement in the workplace and trade unions within firms. '''These reforms increase our industrial ability by 0.25. Work continues on the French rifle designed for smokeless powder, and we continue to influence Egypt.''' Qing Dynasty: We continue our Westernization and we begin exerting influence. We begin utilizing our military to crush the protests and we also send out government pamphlets for people to move into Tibet. Conservatives begin to quell down, since going back to the old ways has resulted in millions of deaths. We learned more from European powers, especially the economical fruit of capitalism from Great Britain. we begin our train rail construction and begin one from Beijing to Guanzhou. The economy continues expanding as the country makes its first rubber, coffee and wine exports. We begin selling more cash crops as it replenished our royal coffers and allowed more people to not die of hunger. We begin experiencing a baby-boom due to the modernization and the abundance of food.
 * French Equatorial Africa: Through continental French shipments, the colonial armies become better armed and uniformed, in order to enforce French law and assimilation upon the native populations. The colonial government begins to "hand out" assimilation rights, which actually require a renouncement of current land holdings, allowing for the colonial government to take hold of lands, and "civilize" the natives. The colony begins expansion to the south, beginning with missionary work, then French colonial volunteers. The plants sent to the colony continue cultivation in plantations now. Missionaries are now also sent into Ottoman Tunisnia.
 * French Dahomey: The French 12th Foreign Legion is established in French Dahomey and the 19th Army Corp sends more soldiers to French Dahomey, in order to protect the colonists against the increasingly aggressive Dahomey Kingdoms. French Missionaries are sent into the Dahomey Kingdoms.
 * New Caledonia: Continental French shipments allow for the small colonial police force to become better armed and uniformed in the wake of recent waves of european immigration from the discovery of nickel in 1864. Since then, colonial population has been ever increasing, and native population slowly decreasing, although tensions are very high.
 * French Senegal: Continental French shipments allow for the colonies armies to become better armed and uniformed. The doctrine of missionary work and abolitionism is still promoted as preparations for another war with the remaining Sengali chiefdoms begins in order to curtail their slave trade and end their pagan practices, as well as gain access to numerous mining ventures.  French Missionaries are sent into the Senegal chiefdoms.
 * French Indochina: Continental French shipments allow for the large colonial armies to become better armed and uniformed. Soldiers are stationed near the Sino-Indochinese border as support for expansion of the French colonial provinces and catholic faith is advocated for by the governor of the colony. French missionaries are sent into Vietnam and Cambodia to promote Christianity in Asia. The plants sent to the colony continue cultivation in plantations now
 * French Guiana: Continental French shipments allow for the larger colonial armies to become better armed and unformed. Guard presence is increase as more prisoners are sent to the colony. More French immigrants arrive to the colony, prompting the governor to expand the city of Cayenne to account for more ships coming to French Guiana. The plants sent to the colony continue cultivation plantations now.
 * Argentinian Diplomacy: We would like to sign a Trading Treaty with your Sovereign nation.
 * French Diplomacy: We accept and sign a trade treaty with Argentina.

To modernize Chinese thinking, Tongzhi promoted legalism as opposed to Confucianism and gives a law to change 50% of the schools in China to teach science, mechanics and for richer schools, a foreign language. Shin Shi Jin is finished and replaced Spring and Autumn in the 5 Classics. To counter the people against legalism, we wrote new laws against corrption and it satisfied the peasants, who were angry about wide-spread corruption. We also begin catching and punishing corrupt officials. We finished our parliament and two houses are built. We begin buying silver and slowing putting it out of use. We begin printing money in which 1 Yuan of Chinese Yuan equals to a quarter of a ounce of gold. We begin teaching the new 4 books and 5 classics in our compulsory education. Going to university becomes a trend in the rich and powerful. We send our top scientists to Svalbard where they attempt to learn rifle secrets.

We begin modernizing our military. We ask to buy 100 rifles from Ottoman Empire. Much more naval bases, ammunition factories, arms factories and arsenals are built in major cities and major ports. More navies are sent on patrol in the East China Sea. We begin developing naval ships as we send iron and coal from Shangxxi to Shangdong, where they are built into tiny battleships. Our soldiers begin receiving rifles and swords and axes are taken away to modernize the military. We continue studying the ways to build iron steamboats. We build our first iron steamboat in Shanghai. Students are sent to foreign nations, where their main goal is to study mechanics and the sciences. We begin training our volunteer army vigorously. We continue to have large amounts of drills in the military and those who fail will be kicked out. We send many of our soldiers to Manchuria to secure it from Japanese influence.

We begin enlisting for our second colony.
 * Qingyafeidao: We begin expanding along the coast and we begin founding another city.


 * Argentinian Diplomacy:  Greetings Qing Empire, We would like to sign a Trading Treaty with your Sovereign Nation.

Argentina: Railroads expansion continues, conecting industrial complexes and Main source material producers, with the Main Port in Buenos Aires; The Desert Campaign is finished (complete anexation of the Patagonia territories) a new  Law prohibites the emergence of large landowners in the Pampa, this is disowned by those Aristocrats, however the government remain strong thanks to the increasingly powerful national Bourgeoisie, created mainly thanks to Minister Charpentier and accepted by president Roca. National Mining companies are created by this local burgeoisie and begin exploiting the northern resources. The Internal market (not only consumming but also manufacturing) grows as well as the external, specially thanks to our commercial partners Japan and Belgium and their markets exchanges; because of this our merchant fleet grows to cope the demand, and to protect it we decided to Increase our Military Navy by 0.25. European immigration flux continues, new civilian towns and military bases are founded in Puerto Argentino (Malvina Is.), Ushuaia (Grande Is.), Coihaique and Puerto Montt (crossing the Andes), mainly destined to control the geography area and to improve our trade with the Pacific (railroad are constructed to Pt Montt and Ushuaia).

Germany: We begin a rapid expansion of industry to catch up to other European powers. The steel giant Krupp continues to grow to become one of the largest steel manufacturers in Europe, improving our national economy, thanks in large part to the protection from American and British competition afforded by tariffs and cartels. Coal plants are expanded to locally power our nation. Important mines along the valleys of the rivers Ruhr, Inde, and Wurm are modernized to be safer and more efficient. Numerous small industrial centres begin to spring up, focusing on ironworks using local coal. Our iron and steel works begin buying mines, and erecting coking ovens to supply their own requirements in coke and gas. These integrated coal-iron firms ("Huettenzechen") became numerous with the growth of the industrial sector. The average output of a mine in 1850 was about 8,500 short tons; its employment about 64. We hope to grow these numbers, drastically increasing our output. Total Ruhr coal output rose from 2.0 million short tons in 1850, and is expected to rise to 22 by 1880.The miners in the Ruhr region are divided by ethnicity with Germans and Poles, and religion with Protestants and Catholics, splitting the miners into several unions, with an affiliation to different political parties. Mobility in and out of the mining camps to nearby industrial areas is high. German banks begin to play a central roles in financing German industry. Different banks form cartels in different industries, and Cartel contracts become accepted as legal and binding by German courts, although illegal in Britain and the United States. The process of cartelization begins slowly, but the cartel movement is expected to rise. The government plays a powerful role in the industrialization of the German Empire, during a period known as the Second Industrial Revolution. We supported not only heavy industry but also crafts and trades, to maintain prosperity in all parts of the empire. Local procedures are put in place, so even where the national government does not act, the highly autonomous regional and local governments are expected to support their own industries. Each state is expected to be as self-sufficient as possible. Railroads become crucial in the transfer of German goods across Europe, and modern engines begin to replace outdated models in our nation. Bismarck’s new tariffs on imported grain and the introduction of the sugar beet as a main crop helps to grow agricultural yield. Farmers begin to abandon traditional, inefficient practices, adapting modern farming practices, such as the use of new fertilizers and tools. The knowledge and tools gained from the intensive farming of sugar and other root crops helps to quickly elevate Germany to one of the most efficient agricultural producers in Europe. With the economic push toward industrialization and urbanization, heavy industry (coal and steel especially) become important in the Ruhr, and manufacturing growing in the cities, the Ruhr, and Silesia. Based on its leadership in chemical research in the universities and industrial laboratories, we begin to become dominant in the world's chemical industry. Big businesses such as BASF and Bayer led the way in their production and distribution of artificial dyes and pharmaceuticals during the Wilhelmine era, leading to the German monopolisation of the global chemicals market. Our military continues to be expanded, upgrading our army score by 0.25. Our explorer Henry Morton Stanley continues his trek across central Africa, claiming the area for Germany. He begins an expedition into the Congo. We negotiate a trade agreement with the Herero and Khoisan People, claiming the Namibian coast for Germany. Expeditions are also launched into the African Cameroon delta and the mainland coast across from Zanzibar, with a few thousand people and soldiers have begun to settle the areas. We ask for a trade agreement with the Portuguese/Brazilians to help mutually protect and supply our African colonies. The Kongo colony on the coast expands. Fredrickville expands. Britain: After pushing the Spanish back, we launch an assault on Madrid. Army is upgraded.
 * Brazil Dip: We accept the mutual protection and trade pact on the condition that Congo which we declared for Brazil be left to Brazil considering much of it is currently coming under Brazilian colonial influence. for this we will not counteract or make any colonial moves into Namibia. We also make the point the Brazil laid claim to all of Congo much earlier through our colonization efforts and longer presence and expansion into Congo.
 * German Diplomacy: We propose a meeting in Berlin between all European powers to regulate European colonization and trade (like the OTL one). We believe we have claim over the Congo considering we first began colonizing the Congo River Basin and its tributaries almost a decade ago, and hired the renowned and prestigious explorer, Henry Morton Stanley (who claimed the region in OTL for Belgium) to chart the entire region.


 * Britain: 65.25
 * Spain: 29.2

1882
'The nation of Germany calls all European powers with interests in colonizing Africa to attend the Berlin Conference, to discuss regulations regarding trade, colonization, and territorial changes. '

Germany: We begin a rapid expansion of industry to catch up to other European powers. The steel giant Krupp continues to grow to become one of the largest steel manufacturers in Europe, improving our national economy, thanks in large part to the protection from American and British competition afforded by tariffs and cartels. Coal plants are expanded to locally power our nation. Important mines along the valleys of the rivers Ruhr, Inde, and Wurm are modernized to be safer and more efficient. Numerous small industrial centres begin to spring up, focusing on ironworks using local coal. Our iron and steel works begin buying mines, and erecting coking ovens to supply their own requirements in coke and gas. These integrated coal-iron firms ("Huettenzechen") became numerous with the growth of the industrial sector. The average output of a mine in 1850 was about 8,500 short tons; its employment about 64. We hope to grow these numbers, drastically increasing our output. Total Ruhr coal output rose from 2.0 million short tons in 1850, and is expected to rise to 22 by 1880.The miners in the Ruhr region are divided by ethnicity with Germans and Poles, and religion with Protestants and Catholics, splitting the miners into several unions, with an affiliation to different political parties. Mobility in and out of the mining camps to nearby industrial areas is high. German banks begin to play a central roles in financing German industry. Different banks form cartels in different industries, and Cartel contracts become accepted as legal and binding by German courts, although illegal in Britain and the United States. The process of cartelization begins slowly, but the cartel movement is expected to rise. The government plays a powerful role in the industrialization of the German Empire, during a period known as the Second Industrial Revolution. We supported not only heavy industry but also crafts and trades, to maintain prosperity in all parts of the empire. Local procedures are put in place, so even where the national government does not act, the highly autonomous regional and local governments are expected to support their own industries. Each state is expected to be as self-sufficient as possible. Railroads become crucial in the transfer of German goods across Europe, and modern engines begin to replace outdated models in our nation. Bismarck’s new tariffs on imported grain and the introduction of the sugar beet as a main crop helps to grow agricultural yield. Farmers begin to abandon traditional, inefficient practices, adapting modern farming practices, such as the use of new fertilizers and tools. The knowledge and tools gained from the intensive farming of sugar and other root crops helps to quickly elevate Germany to one of the most efficient agricultural producers in Europe. With the economic push toward industrialization and urbanization, heavy industry (coal and steel especially) become important in the Ruhr, and manufacturing growing in the cities, the Ruhr, and Silesia. Based on its leadership in chemical research in the universities and industrial laboratories, we begin to become dominant in the world's chemical industry. Big businesses such as BASF and Bayer led the way in their production and distribution of artificial dyes and pharmaceuticals during the Wilhelmine era, leading to the German monopolisation of the global chemicals market. Henry Morton Stanley returns from his expedition, carrying detailed maps of the entire Congo and much of the African interior. The settlement of Fredericksville expands, officially becoming the capital of the German Congo. Similar settlements spring up all along the Congo River and some of the southern and eastern Congo. The river is closed to all foreign expeditions until the conclusion of the Berlin Conference, assuming that the free access clause is accepted, stopping all foreign settlement attempts in the Congo from the west. Further treaties are organized with the local natives in the Congo, who are treated relatively fairly.

Empire of Brazil: The Empire continues funding its major Colonial expansion sending a huge amount of funding to the Cameroon Colony intent on expanding it into Nigeria. The Empire also continues funding of Domestic programs finishing up a Coastal Highway system and redirecting the funds to industrial and agricultural development. Brazil's industrial development continues with Iron and Steel industries beginning to take off much more than normal with increased private business and city development pushing forward with the private businesses requisitioning more and more. However, the rubber expansion reaches an economic slump with too much competition driving prices down, too. The Economic Ministry along with some businessmen from the rubber industry and other declining industries work on a more efficient process of trade aimed at hitting many key demographics of business in multiple countries especially new trade with Germany. Increased industrial development in Portugal under Brazilian industries however looks to be the savior for the rubber industry as Portugals Brazilian-fueled expansion continues to bring Portugal into an ever-rising economic boom. The program to recover the rubber industry with the more efficient trade however is expected to take almost three years however but, for the time being its been salvaged.

The Brazilian Armed forces are once again dispered to the colonies with the Brazilian expeditionary force being expanded from 46,000 to 60,000 with 14,000 soldiers and their equipment being added. 4,000 of these men are deployed to the Cameroon-Nigerian colony with the remaining 10,000 deployed to Angola to begin establishing the foundations and other facilities needed to begins construction of the Trans African Railroad. '''The Army group in the Southern Amazonas deploys along the border with Acre preparing for training operations just by the state. Acre itself has become predominantly Brazilian with the population mostly Brazilian rubber plantation owners and their wage workers living in the towns that have sprung up because of the plantations. industry is upgraded by 0.25'''.

Dom Pedro's grandson continues his educational program. The Railroad system connecting a lot of the agriculture and resources back to the main industries and cities is continued as many resources previously unaccessable are made available as various mines for workable metals are developed for Industry. Previous iron foundries are replaced as more modern and efficient ones as new industries begin to take over, with the Industry beginning to catch up fully to nations such as the US. The population of Brazil and her colonies proper due a moderate population boom from more children and more immigration reaches 24.3 million. Brazil with cooperation with its Dominion of Portugal begins considering allowing the expansion of Portugals Dominionary forces but no official report is made.


 * Dominion of Portugal: Portugal now seeing the benefits of Brazils role in Portugal develops a small armed force of About 20,000 under the control of the Dominion's local leader, and under the full control of the Emperor of Brazil. The Dominion also uses its economic and trade standing to help out its economy and for the first time in decades has intermarriages with people from Brazil such as businessmen and even some of the Brazilian soldiers stationed in the Dominion. The Portuguese with direct involvement by jointly owned businesses in Portugal and Brazil begin industrialization of Portugal intent on making Portugal more of a member of the Empire. Portuguese and Brazilians continue Cultural integration in the country intent on mixing the populations of the countries to a degree. However the every increasing growth of the Brazilian population definately keeps Portugals growth and importance in check. The Portuguese with their economic improvement and their status within the Empire continue to look Favorably at Brazil the population seeing the notable improvement of their country following integration into the Brazilian empire. Portuguese immigration between the colonies, and Brazil continues with a huge influx of trade shifting the populations enough to establish a large Brazilian Demographic in Portugal.
 * Goa: The colony of Goa continues its trade of spices and other things from India and some seeds for rubber trees are planted intent on turning Goa into a cash crop colony. The rubber industry begins to take off as Trees more near to their ripe age are harvested in Goa and money starting to flow into the colony.
 * Macau: Macau continues to funnel trade from China but now by default it Fronts to the Empire of Brazil beginning to increase the Asian base of Trade to Brazil.
 * East Timor: The economy is continually based around cash crops with coffee being a huge export as well as rubber trees beng planted for better cultivation. Rubber begins to develop more with plantations for it beginning to take precedence over others. Some Settlers from East Timor move to New Guinea establishing a small trading outpost.
 * Angola: Angola continues its economic production of gold, spices, diamonds, with plantation economy coming on the rise with agricultural products coming into play. Rubber trees are planted in Angola to help expand Brazil's growing rubber industries. The immigration from Brazil and Portugal continue to expand the colony quite a bit pushing territorial control farther inland. Slave and Exploitation based labor are phased out with legitimate industries being made out of them with fair wages being a staple. This actually establishes better output at the people are less inclined to hate their new leaders due to the new economic policy. Angola begins to expand inland a bit and manages to establish a rudimentary trade road up the West African coast to trading posts just north of Angola, and with expansion up too Gabon and Equatorial Guinea continued and areas paved for a road all the way up to the trade colony in Cameroon. Propoganda from Brazil is diffused through the colony and some of the first Brazilian-African marriages are held. Rubber is also heavily predicted to be a big grower in Angola, with the plantation economics beginning to gear towards the inclusion of rubber. The Colony begins to help other colonial expansion securing much of the West African coast for Brazil and her colonial interests. The Expansion into the Interior continues with Brazilian funding and Investment through trade allowing for full scale securing of the Interior with a few more interior areas set up as provinces and expanded towards Zambia.
 * Mozambique: The Colony of Mozambique continues its cash crop and plantation economy substituting Native exploitation with true and fair wages which in turn help the impoverished gain a better life foothold but in doing so actually give the Plantations increased output. The Expansion into the Interior begins with more settlers escorted by members of the military staking claims further into Mozambique aimed at securing more resources. The Colonial population continues to look more favorable towards Brazil and the status of Brazils investment into the colonies. The possibility of a Trans-African Railroad is brought up going from Angola to Mozambique in an attempt to allow for more connections throgh the colonies. The Colonial Expansion continues inland officially establishing Brazilian Imperial Zambia.
 * Zambia: The new colonists pushing into Zambia begin making treaties and agreements with many of the local populace securing more territory both to the North and South minorly with A more major push to be made moving and securing a route to Angola. Local Treaties are signed as well as a colonial push into Brazilian Claimed Zimbawbwe as well. Treaties with local ribes in Burundi and Rwanda are secured.
 * Gabon: The Colony of Gabon expands to 7000 and is considered a true colony of the Brazilian empire with growing influence in the Gabon and Cameroon Areas due to the prevention of Slavers, and the growing respect by Africans to the Brazilian settlers. The Colony now with about 1000 Brazilian troops expands up and down the coast simultaneously in attempts to prevent slaving but also in expanding the plantation ability of the colony. The colony also begins to include hundreds of Africans seeking work from the Brazilian industries and plantations developing in the area. The colonial jurisdiction of Gabon is extended to include colonies around it greating the Greater Gabon Colonial Jurisdiction. Which masterminds the securing of more internal Territory aiming to gain a large foothold in the interior over the next few years. expansion into the interior continues securing another few provinces.
 * Cameroon: The Cameroon colony established a few years ago reaches a population of 4000 which is a mix of Portuguese and Brazilian lower classes looking for a new life. The Colony also helps in the West African Trade by Brazil helping secure the Trade and colony rights from Cameroon, to Angola. The colony with its expanded territory as well begins bringing in more natives as securing the Interior becomes a prime directive of many of the incomming settlers from Brazil and Portugal. Expansion begins into Southern Nigeria securing a few provinces.
 * Granada: With Granada being reformed Almost 10,000 Brazilian troops flood in from Portugal seizing the area and quickly setting up a Transitional Government that will serve until the new Granadian Constitution is written. The Area is rebuilt and any remaining Spanish troops are captured are sent to the British as Prisoners of War. However only the ones who resist are treated this way and many just have their arms confiscated and are left to go home with notes written by the Commander of the New Granadian Garrison. Granada itself is named a Brazilian Territory until rebuilding and integration among other things are completed enough to allow a Dominion Status.

We mobilise some naval vessels in the North Sea to protect our trade link. '''We make it clear to the United Kingdom and Denmark that this is for defencive purposes only. We ask that China stop its aggressive attitude to European nations.''' Qing Dynasty: We continue our Westernization and we begin exerting influence. We begin utilizing our military to crush the protests and we also send out government pamphlets for people to move into Tibet. Conservatives are even more quelled down. we begin our train rail construction and finish the part from Harbin to Beijing. The economy continues expanding as the country makes its first rubber, coffee and wine exports. We begin selling more cash crops as it replenished our royal coffers and allowed more people to not die of hunger. We begin experiencing a baby-boom due to the modernization and the abundance of food.
 * Sweden-Norway Diplomacy: We accept to join the Berlin confrence as an "observer nation" as we do not have any colonies in Africa.
 * Belgium: We thank Sweden-Norway and agree to their alliance.

To modernize Chinese thinking, Tongzhi promoted legalism as opposed to Confucianism and gives a law to change 50% of the schools in China to teach science, mechanics and for richer schools, a foreign language. Shin Shi Jin is finished and replaced Spring and Autumn in the 5 Classics. To counter the people against legalism, we wrote new laws against corrption and it satisfied the peasants, who were angry about wide-spread corruption. We also begin catching and punishing corrupt officials. We finished our parliament and two houses are built. We begin buying silver and slowing putting it out of use. We continue spreading the paper money and changing our country to gold based currency.

More navies are sent on patrol in the East China Sea. We begin developing naval ships as we send iron and coal from Shangxxi to Shangdong, where they are built into tiny battleships. We build our first steamboat, QCS Kanxi. We build our first iron steamboat in Shanghai. Students are sent to foreign nations, where their main goal is to study mechanics and the sciences. We begin training our volunteer army vigorously. We continue to have large amounts of drills in the military and those who fail will be kicked out. We send many of our soldiers to Manchuria to secure it from Japanese influence.

Colonization becomes a national focus, as two colonies are founded in OTL Mombasa and Lindi named Qingfeizhou and Qingyezhou.

'''Zimbawbwe is out of your reach... ou have to go through mozambique.. a Brazilian colony to get to it, and you have no way go through me without my permission to set up colonies.''' ​Britain: Having taken Madrid, and captured the Spanish King, we ask him to surrender unconditionally to the British.

'''UH ed retconned that. GO OCTi (talk)'''

'''I deleted the previous discussion because as the evidence shows, the only thing retconned was the issue between Italy and that was retconned because it was destruction of his nations which isnt allowed. Your blockade of Gibraltar is canon because you did it over Portugal and the war of succession not over Italy. Even if that was retconned, they have yet another reason which is your random invasion of Morocco which in turn brought the US into the conflict who as of right now has total control of Cuba and the Philippines considering that they have about 5,000 troops if not more on each colony as well as the algo remain standing on the talk page and have not been retconned, as well as Every British Algo from Gibraltar to Madrid which have also mysteriously remained standing. Also more evidence is the fact that out of three mods, all of which you have been in chat with for this, have not retconned this yet. Also stop making maps with colonies that are from other peoples nations. such as Brazil and Germany. Both have had colonies in all the areas on your little mini map for 1 year or more and i dont appreciate it as im sure MS doesnt either. Stop trying to weasel your way out of the fact you lost and stop trying to get it retconned. I would also like to bring up the point that Ed makes every mod event. And in half the years the mention Spains ever failing war against Britain as recently as 1881 Thats only last turn. That obviously means this hasnt been retconned. &#35;LivinLikeFeudal (talk) 20:53, October 1, 2013 (UTC)'''

'''Yes, Feudal is correct. The invasion of Spain has not been retconned. Just so we're clear, Spain is unable to colonize at this time and has basically been completely occupied by Great Britain and other nations at this point.'''

'''Empire of Brazil: The Empire continues funding its major Colonial expansion sending a huge amount of funding to Mozambique, and Angola now extremely close to settling enough territory to connect the Colonies through Zambia. '''The Empire itself decides to Abandon the New Guinea trading post at the request of Parliament with funding being diverted to advance the Zambia colony through central Africa. The Parliament funds a new budget which allows for more domestic development using newly acquired funds from increasing trade, and the end of the new Brazilian arms contract. The Industrial sector continues to advance gaining on many of the European nations now beginning to Challenge their industrial dominance. The Population of Brazilian empire reaches 25.5 million attributing large population boom from agriculture booms and the ability for many Brazilian families to support more than 2 children comfortably.

The Military of Brazil continues to modify its previous ship designs attempting to build a ship out of Steel however its extremely unsuccessful.

The side effects of this are more schools for people in their younger years (teenage years) opening up with the intent on increasing the literacy rate of the country. With the Treaty of Madrid in place the empire officially includes Huelva into the Dominion of Portugal as well as the Canary islands, and Spanish equatorial Guinea. Denmark: We understand the necessary defences that Sweden/Norway have put in place and we wont take it as hostile action.

This number is expected to stop rising at around 100,000. A new long range artillery weapon is being designed for large naval vessels and will have an estimated firing range of 7 miles. Navy score increased by .25
 * Dominion of Portugal: Portugal now seeing the benefits of Brazils role in Portugal develops a small armed force of About 20,000 under the control of the Dominions local leader, and under the full control of the Emperor of Brazil.
