Issues/Changes
Messages will stay for 1-2 days and will be deleted after the issue is resolved and the map is fixed.
 * The Dutch took over OTL French Polynessia in 1874
 * Those islands are China's, and a colonization effort of them could mean war with them.
 * No, China only rules the ones on the left side of the map, islands on the right side were not touched, like French Polynesia. Or so I believe
 * The most southern U.S Arabian Colony was colonized by Canada .5 years before.
 * I don't see a turn for that.

1878.0

 * The United States: asks for the help of its allies while US troops begin to slowly stop the Chinese advance. A deal is iffered to Canada, Britain, Russia, and Hind-Burat that they may all divide the USA's colonies between themselves if they declare war on China while Alaska will be split between Russia, Canada, and the United States. The US Navy blockades China's southern coast and attacks. China is asked if a pro-status quo peace treaty could be arranged with a ten year non-agression pact added on as well as a promise never to try and conquer Alaska.
 * American Diplomacy: The USA will agree to peace talks with Hin-Bharat as mediator.
 * IQC Diplomacy: Emperor Liu-Tao has a peace treaty: The US give the IQC Madagascar, US Mexico, California, Oregon, Washington, the territory they got in British Columbia, New England, New York, New Jersey, Delaware, and Maryland. Then there will be peace
 * American Diplomacy: The USA denounces the Chinese offer, and the CSA will be given Kentucky if it joins the fight against the Chinese.
 * IQC Diplomacy: Emperor Liu-Tao has calmed down after nearly being assassinated, and states he will only take US Indonesia and US West Africa (Rivera) and then there can be peace in the world.
 * Italy: Modernization in Italy begins to continue. In order to make Rome a center of European culture once again, universities, schools, colleges, and museums all around Rome. Economic growth begins to rise and the military keeps on expanding and upgrading. New weapons are being manufactured and the army is becoming impressive. It also meets with Germen and French leaders to propose an invasion of Switzerland and divide it among themselves (based on ethnicity). It also sends diplomats to China for alliances.
 * US Diplomacy: Italy is offered an alliance.
 * UK Diplomacy: The UK also offers Italy an alliance.
 * Italy agrees to both countries.
 * IQC Diplomacy: The Imperial Quan Confederacy (China) accepts the alliance, but warns Italy not to trust the US, as the US tried to trade with the IQC while plotting to attack it behind its back.
 * German Empire: A full scale revolt in the occupied French territories broke out, and the army is unable to do anything else for a while. Italy's offer is declined, though Germany says they will not tolerate any attack on Switzerland, due to it providing a buffer between Germany and Italy.
 * The Kingdom of the Netherlands: The Dutch have finally recovered from the Dutch-French war. The Dutch North Antilles is expanded by adding removing Sint Maarten's nation status & adding it to the Dutch North Antilles. The conquered French colonies of Saint Marten & Saint-Barthelemy are added to the Dutch North Antilles too. The nation of Flanders is formed by combining part of Belgium & Dutch France together. Also Dutch Equatorial Guinea & the former French Congo are combined into the colony of Dutch Congo.
 * Dutch Diplomacy: The Dutch announce they are still neutral in this war, but could be convinced to join one side if a good enough offer is made. Otherwise the Netherlands shall remain neutral, and will also offer War loans to countries if credit is needed.
 * US Diplomacy: The Dutch are offered a huge Chinese colony and southern Madagascar if they join in the war as well as 1,000,000 tons of free grain and corn.
 * Dutch Diplomacy: How about just all of Madagascar? Keep the grain, corn & Chinese colony.
 * IQC Diplimacy: If the Dutch aid the Chinese, they will get all of Madagascar, and will give them the equivalent to that much corn in rice instead.
 * Dutch Diplomacy: The Dutch accept the Chinese counter-offer & the Dutch fleet puts Madagascar under a blockade and lands Dutch troops in the west of the island.
 * US Diplomacy: All of Madagascar and fout imes the original offers of corn and grain as well as 5 times as much beans and tobacco as well as 2,000,000 tons of cotton and 17 irncald steam firagtes if the Dutch declare war on China and make peace with the USA.
 * United Kingdom: The United Kingdom reluctantly agrees to take the US and Canada's side (I don't think I was ever in an alliance with China but if I am I apologize.) Speaking on behalf of British Columbia, the UK requests that if the "allies" win the war, that British Columbia will get the southern part of Alaska. Also, the UK offers Russia $1 million for the little strip of land in western Angola (as indicated in the map) for (OTL Botswana). (More to come)
 * If the UK helps the IQC, the IQC will give them back all of British Columbia that the US took
 * BC will be given back to the UK if it is wanted to avoid war.
 * The UK agrees. Do you still need backup or do you wish for the UK to slip out of the war?
 * The UK is still wanted as an ally desperatly by the USA, and BC is given to the UK in hopes of keeping the Anglo-American Alliance as well as 2,000,000 tons of tobacco and cotton.
 * IQC: The IQC forces totally demolish the US fleet attacking them in the South China sea, and then begin to bombard the US west and east coasts with their fleet, crushing the much weaker United States forces easily. They pledge that they will divide the US up among the powers that aid them. They will give away the east coast of the US, and US mexico to powers that aid them.
 * US Diplomacy: The Dutch are offered a huge Chinese colony and southern Madagascar if they join in the war as well as 1,000,000 tons of free grain and corn. Italy is asked to declare war on China and in return a Chinese colony will be given to Italy after the wars end. The USA wants no overseas territories, only a small portion of Alaska as revenge for the Chinese invasion, and if tis allies stay at the USA's side during its time of need, the USA will relent all of its clims to Alaska and northern Madagascar. A naval base is given to all of the United States Allies in Hawaii. Open borders are promised to the US's alllies. The US Pacific Fleet destroys the Chinese fleet attacking the US Coast, but after that US Squadrons are ordered onto a defensive strategy. 30 ironclad steam frigates are enlisted into the US Navy.
 * ' Are you ignoring the algorithm? You are losing massively to the IQC now, you cannot roleplay victories! 
 * Empire of Hind-Bharat: The war on the Ottomans is finally won, with the Russians thanked for the help they gave to Hind-Bharat. More battleships are constructed but focus is finally put back on railroads. The process of the missionaries in Burma continues with great success, with the locals believing what is said. Battleship production slows down and updates are used to design refits for the battleships. Many plans are formulated using ironclads and battleships in a naval battle exercise to see which one works the best.
 * Russian Empire: The Tsar has the messenger who told him about the current situation of the world shot, because he could not believe China and the US are waging world war over a few colonies in Africa and the Phillipines. Russia will stay neutral in this petty conflict. With the Ottoman Empire defeated, it is split up between Greece (All of European Ottoman territory and the island in the Agean Sea), Ethiopia (All African Ottoman territory) and Russia (Asiatic Ottoman territory.) Greece is to be a federal republic, friendly to, but independent of the Russian Empire.
 * All of the Ottoman Empire? That's a little extreme and slightly ASB. Perhaps some of the Saudi Arabian territories but that should be it.
 * I could see Greece breaking away during the war, and Ethiopia maybe gaining Sudan, and Russia getting the Arabian portions, just not the whole thing. Unless he makes it a vassal like Persia, then he could perhaps pull it off. Even then, Ethiopia would be hard pressed to take Libya, as taking more would mean getting more territory than Ethiopia has. For the new map, I will have Arabia joining Russia as a colony, Turkey joining as a vassal of Russia, Iraq joining the Russian vassal of Persia, Egypt/Sudan going to Ethiopia, and Greece being independent, as that is the closest you can get to the Russian post without being unrealistic. It's really nothing but lines dividing the territory, but it will make it more realistic for it to be divided that way
 * I completely agree with this division.
 * I brought up a discussion on the talk page about a possible division. Map makers, please don't edit the borders of the Empire yet until we have a consensus. ChrisL123

1878.5

 * Imperial Quan Confederation: The people of the IQC cheer, for after two years of war, peace has come again. They have gained the US colony of Rivera from the war, which they rename Haozhou, and they take US Indonesia, whose name they keep. All US military bases in Indonesia are kept, and all US citizens are allowed to return to the US if they so choose. Emperor Liu-Tao pledges peace to the US for as long as he lives (unless the US attacks IQC, Japan, Hind-Bharat, or Russia).
 * Italy: A new constitution is made for the country, one modeled after the United States'. The modernization of Italy begins to continue and the economy is developing very quickly. Internal imporvements such as the building and repairing of infrastrucutre, building of public facilities, building of factories, modernization of agriculutre, are occuring all around the country. The army begins to modernize and expand, and have trained troops in Tunisia. It also meets with Russian leader, who propose an invasion of the Ottoman Empire. Russia can have its European portions and the OTL of Turkey. Italy will get the rest.
 * The Ottoman Empire was already invaded. All what is left to take is Libya, so Italy could invade that, but they will need their own war algorithm and whatnot
 * Tripoli was invaded previously by Brazilian troops, who founded there a colony.
 * Canada: Canada still offers their amount for the U.S colonies. The Military continues to improve and grow and the economic outlook has never been better. New Ottawa colony continues to grow and more and more colonists arrive. A new colonistation crew is sent to OTL Venesuala and set up New Toronto, and 1000 colonist arrive in both colonies. An alliance is offered to China to continue peace between Alaska and Canada.
 * Venezuela isn't uz for colonization, it's a real country with a government and cities established for at least 100 years, despite it not having a player. You'll probably need to attack that country to establish a colony there.
 * China accepts the alliance offer. Emperor Liu-Tao hopes for no more war
 * Empire of Brazil: Pedro II, issues the Edict of Rio de Janiero, which establishes that Brazil shall not allow any foreign power to further colonize South America, or they shall face military counter-action. Pedro II asks for the Chilean government to back up their edict, declaring that wanting to keep good relations with the Europeans and the North Americans does not interfere with keeping them from colonizing their continent.


 * Chile: The President Cornelio Saavedra (elected in 1867, in the middle of the war), promulgate a series of politics to favor to the new territories, like reduction of taxes, modernization of the infrastructure, and others things, all with the intention of avoiding the emergence of new rebel groups. Also, with the support from all political spectre, the Liberal-Conservative Fusion (his coalition), the Radical Party, Montt-Varist Party and the Independent Liberals, the President Saavedra expresses the complete support of the government of Chile to the "Edict of Rio de Janeiro", in defense of the sovereignty of South America.
 * Chilean Diplomacy: The chilean Minister of Foreign Affairs and Colonization, Enrique Cood Ross, send to the Empire of Brazil as new ambassador to the Liberal politician Benjamin Vicuña Mackenna. The Chilean government hope the consent of Brazil.
 * Empire of Brazil: The Empire of Brazil accepts Chile's new choice for an ambassador.


 * Japan: improves its infastructure and navy Japans artillery divisons are modernised a trade agreement is sent to Brazil and Italy.
 * Iberian Empire is not happy at all, because Japan did not even answer to their peaceful offer. The preparations for possible war continues, because Franco sees no other option. The main african colony is expanded south.
 * We gave u it free of charge look at the map be happy.
 * Dude. Stop acting like an  idiot  really. This, what we play here, is a  ROLEPLAY . NOTHING, and I repeat - NOTHING, shall be taken personally. If you dont want to roleplay, then leave this map game. Thank you. Doctor261 12:35, November 25, 2011 (UTC)
 * The Netherlands: The Create campaign finishes and Create becomes a Dutch colony. With the two major wars over the Dutch rejoice that peace has returned. The Dutch go back to expanding their colonies, especially their Dutch Congo colony.
 * The United States of America: The USA declares that Madagascar and Nambia-Angola re no longer for sale but Liberia is offered to Canada in return for New Brunswick or Nova Scotia. If Nova Scotia and New Brunswick are given to the USA, Liberia, Angola-Nambia, and Madagascar except for a few naval bases will all be given to Canada in return for those two provinces. Liberia continues to be expande but much faster now due to the flow of colnists being more and more concentratd into the colony of Anglo-Nambia due to Madagascar and Liberia already being settled. Humiliated at the loss to China but thankful for its former enemies graceful terms, the US Army, Navy, and Marine Corps are all epnded up to a total of1.2 million men, and training of these new soldiers begins immediantly.
 * Canada declins curtiously but offers to but offer to buy just LIberia for any sum the U.S wants.
 * US Diplomacy: The USA offers Canada a deal that will put Liberia under Quebec's, the United States, and Canada's cotrol.
 * Quebec is interested in buying a colony
 * US Diplomacy: The USA, knowing that Quebec has always been friendly to the USA, offers Quebec joint control of Liberia so that both countries can send settlers there and both countries have an equal say in Liberia's future.
 * United Kingdom: The UK offers Italy to attack and annex small portions of the chaotic and lawless Ottoman Africa (OTL Libya-Egypt area). The area could either be a or just Italian and British colonies. The British prepare their military to attack the area.
 * Quebec Diplomacy: wants to buy Sir Lanka from UK.
 * Hind Diplomacy: wishes that the British give the colony to the people of Hind-Bharat as where they belong. A trade agreement and money will be offered.
 * IQC Diplomacy: The IQC believes that Hind-Bharat has a greater claim over the island than Quebec does, and it would be easier for them to assimilate.
 * Empire of Hind-Bharat: More battleships are constructed at a slower rate. The process of the missionaries in Burma continues with great success, with the locals believing what is said. Almost all of the population is now completely hindu. Some buddhists don't believe the missionaries and stay Buddhists. Battleship production slows down and updates are used to design refits for the battleships, with the refit planned next year. The organization of mosques, churches and hindu temples are completed. Sunni muslims in the Empire are the next target to coversion, into Shias. This is easier as they will only be needed to change from one form of Islam to another.

1879.0

 * Empire of Brazil: The Imperial Brazilian Armed Forces began a colonial offensive against the Ottomans in Libya, expanding outward from Tripoli, capturing other port cities like Benghazi and Sirte, along with much of the Libyan coastline. But as the Edict of Rio de Janiero takes its political hold, Pedro II holds fast to his protective doctrine, and gives the Canadians a deadline by which to end their colonial expansion into Venezuela.
 * Italy: Italy asks Brazil to let it have a share of the Ottoman Empire since it wants to invade as well. It also asks for an alliance between the two countries and trade agreements. The modernization and expansion of the economy, military, infrastructure, and navy all continue, will a force stationed in Tunisia.
 * Brazilian Diplomacy: The Empire of Brazil will agree to let Italy have any parts of the Ottoman Empire it wants, and their alliance and trade agreements, but only if they will recognize the Brazilian claims in Ottoman Territory (Modern Libyan border).
 * Italy Diplomacy: Italy agrees to this. Other than Tunisia (which it has), it would want the Syrian and Palestinian parts of the Ottoman Empire.
 * Brazilian Diplomacy: The Brazilian government agrees to recognize Italian claims, but only if the Italians can prove they can militarily back their claims up.
 * UK Diplomacy: The UK asks Italy and Brazil to make a pact to annex parts of the Northern Africa Libya-Egypt Ottoman Empire evenly.
 * Brazilian Diplomacy: Brazil agrees.
 * Italy Diplomacy: Italy agrees to the UK Pact, and explained that it wanted Palestine and Syria for religious reasons. (They held important sacred Christian sites and large Christian populations)
 * UK Diplomacy: The UK reluctantly agrees and draws up a (hopefully) final map for the dissolution of the Ottoman Empire. Anatolia, West Thrace and Western Saudi Arabia will remain as the Ottoman Empire, even though it is divided between Italian Syria.
 * Empire of Brazi: The Empire of Brazil's ambassadors point out that they have recently siezed Benghazi and Sirte.
 * Italian Diplomacy: It still asks for Palestine since it is sacred to Christianity.
 * I did give you Palestine. It's on the map. But now the US wants the Ottoman Empire to be fully connected to Western Arabia, so I'm afraid you'll have to have just Africa. But if you feel that you have the smallest colony you could always expand father into Africa. Also, Palestine is mostly Sunni Islam.
 * The Kingdom of the Netherlands: Dutch Congo and Dutch South East Afrika expand as more colonists join these colonies. Oman also expands with Dutch help, closer integration between Oman & the Netherlands is promised by the Sultan of Oman to the Dutch King.


 * Quebec: ask England to name it price for Sir Lanka


 * Chile: The government make a national census, which establish that the chilean population reach to the 3,800,000, including people from the argentinian territories and an new wave of inmigration from countries at wars in Eurasia in the last years. The Minister of War and Navy Belisario Prats establish oficially the obligatory military service for young men of 18 years-old (the army now is the 90,000 soldiers), and order the increase of the navy, which now reach to the 45 ships. In economy, the production levels are good, and the construcrion of new railroads in the new territories began.
 * German Empire: The French Revolt is finally put down, and many of the ringleaders are executed, while those convicted of major crimes are imprisoned for terms between 5-20 years. Germany continues to focus on industry, as Germany is already to late for the colonial race.
 * Iberian Empire: Iberian empire sends their newly stationed philippino troops back to their homeland. State of War is canceled in the streets of Iberian Empire. Iberian Empire declares their neutrality in all current wars of the Earth. They expand their main colony south.
 * Canada: Canada expands it New Ottawa Colony and more and more people move their, mainly Muslims from other parts of Arabia. The military continues to grow and Canada ask Britian is they can annex British Columbia and British Mannitoba for an access point to the Pacific and for Commerence. The econemy continues to grow as more products are sent overseas.
 * US Diplomacy: The USA offers Canada a deal that will put Liberia under Quebec's, the United States, and Canada's control, making it under the three nations control and that Liberia will eventualy become an independant country. Quebec is offered the same deal. The USA also offers a portion of Madagascar to Italy in return for its portion of Syria.
 * United States of America: Nambia-Angloa continues to be colonized and expanded. The Armed Forces and Navy cotinue to be expanded. An alliance is offered to Quebec, Canada, China, and Germany. The US Army now numbers 2.3 million men, of which 1.2 million are fully trained. War factories begin to turn out guns and other weapons, mostly gatling guns and other weaponry. 32 ironclad steam friagtes are produced, giving the USA 67 of these ships. The US Pacific Fleet has only 12 of these ships while the US Atlantic Fleet has 50 and the US Colonial Fleet has 5. Plans for the USA's armed forces are as follow:
 * 1) The US Army will have 5.2 million men
 * 2) the US Pacifc Fleet will have 85 Ironclad Steam Frigates
 * 3) the US Atlantic Fleet will have 90 Ironclad Steam Frigates
 * 4) the US Colonial Fleet will have 46 Ironclad Steam Frigates
 * 5) or a total of 221 Ironclad Steam Frigates
 * IQC: Many in the Imperial Quan Confederation still bear too much ill-will towards the USA to become allies, but they are not opposed to beginning to trade again and become not enemies, and after a few years they may become allies. Meanwhile, many Buddhist missionaries have travelled to Haozhou and have begun to convert many of the natives of that land to their religion. Many other Buddhists begin to travel to the capital of the Hind-Bharat, urging the leaders to not convert all of the Buddhists in Southeast asia, especially areas like Cambodia and Thailand that have more than 90% Buddhist. Many of the Buddhist leaders feel that they must restore their religion and convert more of the inhabitants of the IQC to Buddhism. However, there is conflict between the schools of Buddhism, and many turn to the Emperor to decide which school is the best one for the IQC
 * US Diplomacy: The USA completley agrees to China's dilema, and trade between the two nations is restarted. The Colonial Guard is created to defend the United States Colonies in Africa.
 * Empire of Hind-Bharat: More battleships are constructed at a slower rate. The process of the missionaries in Burma is stopped, with the Chinese Buddists urging the government to stop. Almost all of the population is now completely Hindu, however. Some buddhists don't believe the missionaries and stay Buddhists and they will not be forced to change. Battleship production slows down and updates are used to design refits for the battleships, with refits planned coming into play and ironclads and battleships being refitted. The conversion of the Sunnis starts and people start converting to Shias, with quite a lot of people believing the Shia missionaries.

1879.5
grey territory with blue lines=US Wishes for its help in the war]] US Diplomacy: The USA offers Italy all of Madagascar if Italy gives up Syria and Palestien. Cyprus can stay Italian. The USA establishes three new colonies; two are on the caost of the Persian Gulf while the third is established between the Dutch and dark red colonies on the coast of the Indian Ocean, and thousands begin to immigrate to these new colonies while 10 of the Ironclad Steam Frigates 300,000 troops are sent to the one bordering the Ottoman Empire. The USA asks for Kuwait and part of OTL Iraq. 12 more ships from the Coolonial Fleet an 200,000 more troops are expected to arrive a few weeks before the turns end.
 * United States of America: The US Army reaches 3.7 million men and now has a total of 112 Ironclad Steam Frigates. Nambia-Angola continues to be colonized and expanded and now has a population of 126,000 people and a Colonial Guard of 5,000 men. Liberia's population now totals over 89,000 people and has a Colonial Guard of about 2,000 men. The Armed Forces and Navy continue to be modernized and expanded. The USA experiences a huge baby boom of over 16 million babies from a population of about 52 million people and a total of 3 million immigrants.
 * Italy: Italy brings all the nations of the world involved in the dissolution of the Ottoman Empire to prepare for war. It does its part by building and upgrading the military in all sectors. The modernization and economic growth of the country still continues. It secretly meets with Balkan separatists from the Ottoman Empire, telling them they will support them when war starts.
 * USA Diplomacy: The USA also offers a portion of Madagascar to Italy in return for its portion of Syria.
 * Italian Diplomacy: Unless it takes part in the war against the Ottomans, it refuses.
 * US Diplomacy: The USA will participate in the war.
 * US Diplomacy: The USA wants part of the Ottoman Empire to become the Republic fo Turkey, and Madagascar will be divided between the Ottoman's attackers if they leave a reasonable portion of OTL Turkey independant. The USA will not attack any country in the war on either side unless it is attacked first. The USA wants the following to remain independant as the Republic of Turkey.
 * UK Diplomacy: The UK agrees to let the Republic of Turkey be one connected country, but it is possible for Italy to take Cyprus. Is this the final map we shall have for the Ottoman Empire divisions?
 * Italian Diplomacy: It is not. My claims to Syria, Palestine, and Cyprus are not on there.
 * It was. The US made this new map of a possible interconnected Republic of Turkey. We could take a vote on the talk page as to see which we should have, a connected Republic of Turkey or an Ottoman Empire that has two parts but are divided from each other.
 * I have established three colonies in Arabia and one is near the Ottoman Empire, 300,000 troops are stationed there and 200,000 more will be there a few weeks before the turns end. I would like Kuwait and parts of southern Iraq, or a good portion of uncolonized Arabia. I will have my 500,000 troops help you guys take apart the Ottomans if I get either of my two requests. My current Arabian colnies are along the coast of the Persian Gulf and between the Dutch Oarnge and the dark red colonies on the Indian Oceans Coast DeanSims
 * [[File:US_Wishes_for_help_in_the_war.png|frame|Concentrated dark blue= present US Colony
 * You can establish colonies in Arabia, but they can't grow to be too big at once. Also, Hind-Bharat officially gets Iraq from helping Russia in the war against the Ottoman Empire, but I think you can get Kuwait if your colony is established close enough to it. Also, you can't just get a portion of Arabia since they aren't the country that was attacked and being annexed; you'll have to colonize it, which can't be too quickly since it is a desert country. ChrisL123
 * UK Diplomacy: The UK agrees to the troops to help in the annexation of parts of the Ottoman Empire (but of course you'll have to understand the comment I made above.)
 * US Diplomacy: The USA asks for more of unclimaed Arabia in return for its troops helping in the war, and also asks that the nations of the world think about divided Ottoman Empire. If it is left divided and weak it will be conquered by some other country and some country wont like it and it wil attack that country, resulting in a number of conflicts and revenge wars that will only get bigger when somebodys ally gets dragged in, or in other words, a divided and eak Ottoman Empire left to the whims of other countries will result in a World War, and then more than one country will be conquered and crushed into the dust, it could be 2 or 3 countires, it could be more. A united Republic of Turkey that the nations of the world respect and do not crush out of existance mearly because they can will grow into a strong country and a powerful one that, having been beat down to near death, will try and keep the world peace for as long as it is possible.


 * Chile: New legislative elections took place, and the Liberal-Conservative Fusion maintain the absolute majority in the Senate and Chamber of Deputies. Construction of new ships continues good in the shipyards of Concepción, Punta Arenas, Valdivia, Antofagasta, Valparaíso and Puerto Bulnes (OTL Rio Gallegos). More people from Eurasia arrive to the country. The chilean troops move now to the northern frontier.
 * IQC: The IQC continues to update their military and their industry, becoming much closer to the west in industrialization. The Great Buddhist Awakening continues within the IQC, with many different new Buddhist sects appearing. Which ones will fade away within a couple years and which ones will become large remains to be seen. Some Buddhist missionaries travel to Southeast asia, to attempt to stop the conversion of Buddhists to Hindus.
 * Hind missionary response: The Buddhists aren't conveted, they have formed a new branch of Hinduism, Buddo-Hinduism. They are still Buddhists left and they will not be forced to convert, it is only that most of the populace believes in what is preached. The conversion has also stopped a few months ago.
 * Japan: contiues to modernize and improve the military focusing on teaching the infantry a mixture of diffrent fighting styles several small unclaimed islands in the Indian Ocean are colonized by Japan.
 * Empire of Brazil: The Brazilian Emperor agrees to the division of the Ottoman Empire, and declares the new colony Tripolitania, with Tripoli as its capital. From their bases in Tripoli, Brazilian soldiers move north to colonize the southern Dodecanse Islands.
 * Empire of Hind-Bharat: More battleships are constructed at a slower rate. Some buddhists don't believe the missionaries and stay Buddhists and they will not be forced to change. Battleship production slows down and updates are used to design refits for the battleships, with refits continuing and ironclads and battleships being continously refitted. The conversion of the Sunnis converting and people start converting to Shias, with quite a lot of people believing the Shia missionaries. Hindu missionaries also enter the Western areas. Some conflict arises between the missionaries of the two religions but is nothing major as
 * US Diplomacy: The USA offer's all of the countries this deal, let me keep the rest of the Ottoman Empire as a US Protectorate/Colony until Turkey is strong enough to stand up on its own two feet. And in return, all of my other colonies will be diveded between the countries who invaded and conquered the Ottoman Empire. Ironclad Steam Firgates can be given as well as territory, and all military and naval bases in the colonies come with the ships currently there as well as the guns and ammo. All of the US Colonies are connected by railroads internaly as well as externaly with eachother and other colonies in Africa. the US Colony/Protectorate of Turkey, and all of my colonies will be divided between you.
 * UK Diplomacy: The UK declines the US's offer. It should be a shared protectorate between Russia, Hind-Bharat and possibly Ethiopia, Italy, Brazil and the UK. The US little part in the Ottoman-Arabian area until recently, and should not get to control the country by themselves.
 * Why is the US willing to lose its entire empire to protect one weak nation from being divided in two? It is most bizarre
 * The USA was at destructions door when China showed it mercy, I think the Repbulic of Turkey/Ottoman Empire should be shown the same thing.
 * both are trying to convert Sunnis.
 * The Kingdom of the Netherlands: Oman, Dutch Congo & Dutch South East Afrika expand as a baby doom boom occurs in the Netherlands.
 * LOL, I assume you meant baby boom....
 * Yeah I sure did lol
 * German Empire: Bismarck announces that Germany will follow an isolationist policy in all matters except in Europe itself, and will maintain the current Status-Quo with all means; war if necessary.
 * Canada: Econemy and military grow. The colony of New Ottawa expand east. Also, Canada ask to annex British Columbia, Arctic Islands, and Manitoba in order to improve commerence
 * UK Diplomacy: The UK states that the annexation was not recognized and will be fought for if not returned to the Empire.
 * Canadian Diplomacy:"Canada ASK to annex..."
 * The Tsar will not have the American barbarians lowering the property value of their newly aquired territory, and will fight tooth and nail to keep the US out of the Middle East. Meanwhile, vast amounts of raw resources are shipped to Hind-Baharat in an Ironcld deal.
 * US Diplomacy: The USA thinks that it should be able to keep its Arabian colonies that it slready has, but agrees to no expansion into the Ottoman Empire.

 * Imperial Quan Confederacy: The Imperial Quan Confederacy Colony of Haozhou has been a great success, and some of the surrounding tribes have converted to Buddhism and joined with Haozhou. The only problem is that this has now resulted in the small Iberian colony just to the south of Haozhou being now surrounded by other colonies and unable to expand. The IQC offers $250,000 to its ally Iberia to buy this tiny little colony. Meanwhile, many new branches of Buddhism have appeared. One is a challenge to the Dalai Lama for leadership of the Tibetan Buddhism, one is a more philosophical and less religious form of Buddhism, another attempts to combine Buddhism with Islam, yet another means to make Buddhism more acceptable to Confucians and Daoists, and the last new branch elevates the Buddha to a postion near that of a god.
 * Iberian Empire would agree to sell it for $275'000.
 * The IQC sends the Iberian Empire the money, and then lets all Iberians who do not wish to live in Haozhou return to Iberia, while those that stay in their former colony are treated as fairly as Chinese
 * Iberian Empire: Main African Colony is expanded further south. Franco Hernandez dies from a heart-attack and the throne is taken by Julian Hernandez (a 15 year old king).
 * The Kingdom of the Netherlands: The Boer republics jointly begin the construction of the Trans-Boer Railway to join up all of the Boer Republics (and Zululand too) in Dutch controlled Southern Africa. A major Dutch Colonist by the name of Max De Snaijer sees this railroad being created and sets about created a Dutch Cross-African Railroad from Dutch South East Afrika to Dutch Congo. This causes the expansion of the Dutch Congo & Dutch South East Afrika colonies towards each other.
 * Empire of Brazil: The new general elections in Brazil fill the Chamber of Deputies and Senate with people from the pro-colonization Brazilian National Party, and the office of Prime Minister with one as well. After debating the subject with both houses of the Brazilian General Assembly, Emperor Pedro II sends soldiers to conquer Hispaniola.
 * The United States of America: The USA continues to expand its Arabain colonies and Nambia-Angola. The baby boom continues while the US Army reaches 5.8 milllion men and 220 Ironclad Steam Frigates. Industrialization of the colonies continues while harbors are built in all three of the Arabian colonies. The 500,000 US Troops stationed in the US Arabian Colonies are moved to the Ottoman Border to assist the Britsh and Hind-Barats. Seeing that the USA's aid is not going to be apreciated, the United States withdraws all of its troops from Arabai and prepars for an invasion of Peru. The 3 Arabain Colonies are given to Quebec.
 * YOU DON"T HAVE A ARABIAN COLONY! You going to get killed because expanstion is killing the value of your military.
 * The IQC warns that Brazil and Argentina have vowed to defend Peru and other South American nations from imperialism. They ask why the US would conquer a peaceful nation for no reason. It seems like the US is a brutal and warmongering nation
 * The USA asks what it wil take to allow the USA to take over Peru, as the previous war does not want to be repeated. The USA wants Peru as a state in the Union with equal rights to the rest of the United States, and the USA wants a America of all American cultures, a world of no racism or prejudice because of the color of skin or an individuals ethnicity. The USA asks what Brazil and Argentina want to allow the USA's annexation of Peru.
 * Pedro II states that the Edict of Rio de Janiero holds fast, and that he shall not be bought by the Americans if it means that he shall have to give up his morales. He also likes to point out that Argentina has no say in the matter, and that both sides are probably referring to Brazil's ally Chile, which has historically supported the Edict of Rio de Janiero.
 * Canada pleases the U.S not to invade Peru.
 * The ambassador Vicuña Mackenna declares that The chilean government firmly side with Brazil, and that Edict of Rio Janeiro is clear about any foreign intervention in the region. (NOTE: You confuse to Chile with Argentina?)
 * Emperor Liu-Tao of China remarks that the United States is set to be crushed in the war against Peru as well, if his prediction (aka the algorithm) is correct. Surely, losing two wars within a couple years would be disastrous to the United States, and would result in whoever the current president is losing the election in the second part of this year due to their "democracy". He may be persuaded into giving supplies aid to one of the two sides in this war, if the US or the South American nations offer the IQC enough....


 * Chile: President Saavedra create two new ministry: Education (separating Public Instruction from Justice) and Ministry of Industry and Public Works. The liberal Gregorio Amunátegui Aldunate is named in the first ministry and the conservative Juan de Dios Correa de Saa in the second. While, the expansion of the national military industry continues with force, due to the good levels in economy. More troops are trained each year. The Husares de la Muerte unit trebles his size.
 * Canada: Canada still wishes to annex British Canadian Properties. The military grows and New Ottawa population numbers 3 million and expands excedingly. The military grows to 2 million troops and a Navy is worked on and a metal ship come out once every two days. The Canadians offer Japan an Alliance.
 * Japan: agrees to an alliance with Canada
 * US Diplomacy: Canada is offered an alliance by the USA.
 * We already had one.
 * UK Diplomacy: The UK denies Canada to annex BC and Manitoba, but will sell the British Arctic Islands for $600,000.
 * Canada Diplomacy: Both Manitoba and Artic Islands for $4 MIllion (British Arctic Islands arn't even worth $500,000, I don't know why I am offer you $4 Million for both. At least follow one thing OTL, http://en.wikisource.org/wiki/Adjacent_Territories_Order)
 * UK Diplomacy: The UK has no need for the Arctic Islands, but we can't give up Manitoba; "The reason we have Manitoba as a Dominion because of Canadian surveys (back when Canada didn't have a player. Also, the Adjacent Territories Order only applied to OTL because Canada was still loyal enough to Great Britain to remain a dominion of the UK. You, however, have declared independence and are no longer a dominion of the UK, and the ATO doesn't apply.)
 * Canadian Diplomacy: We are still loyal to the queen (like I said when I declared independence). $5 Million for Both.
 * UK Diplomacy: Hmm. So you are. Okay, I will give you the Arctic Islands for free but we will have to keep Manitoba, and I suppose British Columbia can be a for a year and a half until it is given full access to you, but in return we get Acadia (since it is nowhere near Canadian soil.)
 * Canadian Diplomacy: Deal, but British Colunbia will be automaticly introduced into Canada.
 * United Kingdom: The UK initiates the border changes in the Ottoman Empire, and declares that Syria will have to stay disputed. Thousands of troops are sent to British Egypt to keep the colony from being taken over by either Italy or Ottoman soldiers. Colonization efforts are stopped, but offers $1 million to buy the portion indicated on the map from US Angola. Also, the UK will keep Sri Lanka until further notice.
 * US Diplomacy: The USA offers the Uk a deal giving Britsh Colombia to the United States in return for all of Nambia-Angola, Madagascar, and Liberia plus 5 million World Dollars, which is the USA's currency.
 * UK Diplomacy: The UK declines the US's offer, British Parliament saying, "British Columbia and any other colony in America (as well as Asia) are more valuable than African ones." However the Bechuanaland offer for the portion of Angola (in grey) is still offered.
 * Italy: Italy still disagrees of the US because of religious reasons. The modernization, economic growth, and build-up of the military continues. It also asks France to try to invade Switzerland and divide it amongst themselves.
 * German Empire: Fairly quiet this half-year: nothing of major note happens, except for industrial growth.
 * Japan: modernizes its calvary divisons and continues to colonize unclamied Islands in the Indian Ocean. Japan begins construction on more gunboats and ironclads. A railway is underconstruction connecting most of the major ports and cities of Japanese Veitnam alowing for much faster transport of raw materials and agricultarial goods
