1870 to 1899 (Principia Moderni Map Game)

1870


The southern part of Goa stabilizes, while Timbuktu expands. Meanwhile, the Borgu Empire falls into civil disarray. Two states form on the Borgu area, Borgu, which controls Nikki and the surrounding areas, and Dahomey, which controls Abomey and the surrounding areas.


 * Why is the Caliphate now a grey nation? And how did that little area north of the UJE break away?
 * A mod event in 1868 said that the caliphate was independent, and given that Galaguerra wasn't controlling it, i put it in grey.and that little area is part of the Caliphate, given to them by Greece. is basically a Caliphatean exclave.
 * Oh, no. I had made another moderator event, where I had incorrectly assumed the French still had influence over the Caliphate, and that was Galaguerra's response to my event, so I deleted the event. He is still controlling it, it's just that the French don't have any influence anymore.


 * Neue Brandenburg is somewhat sobered from their defeat in Vietnam, as the period of military victories ends quickly. Troops are withdrawn from Europe, but the nation still expands by 10,000 sq km. Neue Wilhelmsburg expands along the coast by 500 sq km. A census is conducted which shows that more and more people live in the country. The first NBC royal fair is held. The Volkstag passes a bill outlawing child labor completely, and imposing harsh penalties. The socialists remain in control of the government.
 * Persia's New Tehran colony expands 100x100 sq mi west. New Persia expands by 100x100 sq mi south. New Isafan continues to expand by 100x100 sq mi north. They attack Vietnamese colonies in South America to support the French-Russian-Italian Union.


 * Bengal sets up its first major industries in Sylhet, and begins setting up an industrial center in the area, with assistance from the White Elephants. Plans are drafted for a rail line between Chauhhpiu and Sylhet, to supplement sea routes between those two cities as well as with Dhaka and Bakarganj. Songone sets up its own mint, with new Songonese Rubles being printed and distributed and exchanged to replace older European-minted coins. This action was taken in the wake of deflation due to lack of a way to regenerate currency.
 * Finland continues to build up their military, and continue to build and improve some infrastructure and continues industrialisation. Finland also expands Hyvinkää by 400 km, expands Kōshi by 450 km, and expands Käwäshiro by 400 km. Some Finnish politicians again yawn at Sweden's actions, as they could care less. Those same Finnish politicians also yawn at France trying to fight against Sweden and are told there is there just no hope any-more but they still allow them to try, but it won't really work. Meanwhile, Finland continues to promote democracy (in Finland there is little or no socialists because of this). Finland begins to support France less as there is no hope any-more, and begins to support Sweden instead. Also a few Finnish politicians are sick and tired of the socialists and other socialist-like ideologies that are being spread around (and sick and tired of those ideologies in general) but they don't say anything at all and don't show that and they keep those opinions to themselves, to prevent anger from France. Meanwhile, Kanako Björklund (a Democratic, Shintoist female politician) gains more popularity in Finland as the Finns start to get tired of all this war going on. In other news, the Republic of Kazami secretly shows support for Sweden and decides to secretly give them a few military and supplies for help. The Finnish colonies of Kōshi, Käwäshiro, and Hyvinkää also secretly show support for Sweden and secretly gives supplies and stuff to help them. The Finnish colony of Sätōri also shows support for Sweden and sends them a few supplies.
 * The proposal to merge Buda, Pest and Óbuda, proposed in 1862, is approved by the council of nobles. The city formed with the merging of those three is named Budapest. Meanwhile, Rangyóra expands 11500 sq km. The military is updated. Meanwhile, the Budapest-Vác branch continues to be built, while another branch, this time connecting Zeng to Ragusa starts to be built.
 * Unrest continues to grow in the main island and in Labrador. In July, riots happen in Új Kotor.
 * Egypt updates its military.
 * Uruguay expands 5000 sq km.
 * Nippon's Emperor Kōmei dies, and his son ascends to the Chrysanthemum Throne as Emperor Meiji. Shogun Iemochi sees the tide turning against his Mesheryakovist allies, and announces plans for a huge assault against Vietnam and the colonies & vassals of Finland and Sweden. Border skirmishes begin on Luzon island, but it isn't anything major as they are still waiting for supporting armies. The INN is sent to raid the coast lines of these nations/colonies/vassals but the military chiefs think this is a fools move and mobilizes as slowly as possible to do as little damage against Nippon's former allies. Several members of the naval staff board visit the Shuujin penal colony to, to meet up with the exiled politicians and plan a coup against the Shogunate. They plan to get rid of the non-elected Tokugawa shogunate, and make the role of Shogun an elected one (basically a prime minister). The people planning the coup secretly meet up with Swedish, Finnish and Vietnamese officials to get them to support their coup against Shogun Iemochi. Otherwise Shuujin expands inland by (1000*5) 5000 sq km as more people are exiled, and Papua Nipponia expands 2000 sq km into OTL New Britain and the near by islands. This is because the Shogun needs more plantations and timber for war supplies.
 * The Commonwealth of Eetoria and Ngainkeha joins the anti-mesheryakovist side, and sends its fleet to stop Nippon in the East indies and Pacific. Troops are also sent to march through the wilderness to the Nipponese colonies of Papua Nipponia and Shuujin to liberate them from the Shogun. Cartographers also join the armies marching north so they can map out the unexplored areas of Australia.
 * The Emperor, seen as ineffective, is stripped of his rank by the nobles; a first in Qing Chinese history. The new emperor immediately works on improving the interior. Chief among these actions are finally absorbing Changistan into its empire.
 * Persian Diplomacy: It asks China to put a Persian Prince on the throne.
 * Chinese Diplomacy: Only Chinese blood will ever rule China.
 * They put a new emperor on already, the one improving the interior.
 * The Vietnamese and their allies continue fighting against the Franco-Russians.
 * Dravidia continues the war, helping Vietnam. The Dravidian government sends secret messages to the leaders in Bharat who are plotting to put the son of the Maharaja on the throne instead, saying that they will support him.
 * Ricasolia builds up its military, wary of potential colonizers.
 * Israel builds up its military as well, with more Israelis working to make their nation more developed. They trade with their neighbors, but they still almost totally prevent any immigration into Israel, fearful that if their nation became overran by Muslim immigrants they would be absorbed by the caliphate.
 * Istoias has a census, where they find the ethnicity of Istoias to be 42% European (20% Italian, 10% Hungarian, 5% Spanish, 3% French, 2% German, and 2% Dutch) 37% Malasgay (Madagascar Native) and 21% Ethiopian (from the Ethiopian colonization and immigration). The religion of Istoias is 70% Schmittist, 11% Native Religions, 8% Deist, 5% Ethiopian Orthodox, 2% Roman Catholic, and 4% other. The primary language is Italian.
 * Brunei continues to expand their Mauritius colony and infrastructure projects begin in southern Brunei. Factories continue to boom and Brunei proper expands south.
 * Sweden refuses to relinquish the Finnish coast and claims Finland as part of the Swedish Empire, they set up a puppet regime in Finnish territory. The IEC expands west into Alaska with Swedish help and Asgard expands 15250 sq km westwards. The Swedish navy receives a few new ships and Swedish troops are sent to the Baltic Alliance and Finland in case of Russian invasions. The same occurs in Southern Flanders where small skirmishes occur as the Swedish troops move to seize Calais. Arabia seeks to form a union with the Caliphate renaming the new nation the Arabian Caliphate.
 * Nouvelle-Normandie expands 11625 sq km. As Charles-Louis is internationally unpopular, and his methods to maintain the order are nothing but tyrannical, the anarchist party grows, specially those who liked the union with Finland join the party. Henri Rochefort, a Frenchman, and Louis Auguste Blanqui, a Burgundian politician, seem to be the leaders of a formal party if the government doesn't act soon. And Charles does it. They both are sent to the penal centers in Songhay, where they finally meet each other. They're also socialists, but opposed to monarchy, the autocratic government led by a bourgeois person or group of persons, and also opposed to any kind of militarized government. Due to the lack of support in some fronts, Alphonse Henri dies in battle, and Adolphe Thiers, opposed to monarchism and socialism, leads a new faction of the army to conquest Nouvelle-Gascogne. Such colony becomes an independent republic and, though not officially supports the anti-mesheryakovists, fights the mesheryakovist government of France. He's supported by Patrice Mac-Mahon.
 * In Haiti, a massive anti-French rebellion starts, and Achille Murat dies fighting. Haiti declares neutral in the war, though the internal struggle continues. Every single warlord and usurpers wants to crown himself and become Emperor, but the collectivism, mesheryakovism, classism and any kind of socialism are rejected. A provisional Regent Triumvirate is formed by Joseph Marie, a descendant of Spanish emigrants called Manuel Cáceres and some Ignacie Marie (they all are, respectively, José María Cabral, Manuel Altagracia Cáceres and Ignacio María González, presidents of the Dominican Republic).
 * Nouvelle-France start to lose territory and Újfundlandi gets weaker.
 * Nouvelle-Patagonie expands 6000 sq km. The Prince declares his intention to negotiate with the enemies, but the Regent (Charles-Louis) remains not hearing him.
 * Algeria expands 11625 sq km. The union with the Swedish Arabia is accepted. The Arabian Caliphate grows economically and industrially. The Caliph offers a formal alliance to the Shah in order to protect Islam and avoid those "Hindu heretics" to corrupt their people. I Figli di Dio continues growing, fighting the Bharati missionaries and the non-Muslim groups in other countries, but mostly doing criminal actions like selling drugs or prostitution. The Caliph qualifies I Figli di Dio's concept of Islam as a "cruel mocking of our religion, a pseudo-liberal form of corruption. That's what happen when good Muslim people get into the corrupt Christian societies". The UJE annexes the northern territories.
 * Russian Troops are put on high alert on the borders as they wait for an invasion. The Russians Declare the Finns to be independent, and renounce the regime. The Industry in Russia grows as a new concept of trade unions is brought up. many factory owners decide to ban unionists from working. A new way of refining petroleum into gasoline is discovered, although no practical purpose for it has been invented. Troops are called from Siberia to reinforce Swedish boundaries. The new explosive artillery is given its first shot. In Russia, Charles-Louis becomes increasingly unpopular, and is viewed by many people in secret to be attempting to "become Tsar". Allegations and rumors begin spreading around Moscow that Charles-Louis paid the Knight of Russia to kill Paul II, and then killed them to tie up loose ends. The Socialists in Russia and the Liberals are looking at how the image of their ideology and the name of Mehseryakov is being used in ways and being twisted to justify breaking the primary rights of the person. Those who spoke out these thing publicly have been killed mysteriously. The re-emergence of secret societies begins. Operation Suomi, the invasion and liberation of Finland from the "Swedish oppressors" begins, and any Swedish ships using the northeast passage are destroyed (after a warning of-course). Mendeleev publishes his periodic table of elements.
 * Novorossiyan troops come to the aid of the motherland, The Industrialists win the elections and ban Trade Unions.
 * South African army comes to the aid of the Motherland, Socialist party comes to power.
 * Bharat's cities and surrounding areas continue to boom, despite the war. Work on the official "parliamentary building" finishes stage 2, while the construction of stage 3 begins this year. The parliament is looking very beautiful, but it is not being used often as there is nothing major the mahajhapanas can discuss while the maharaja commands the country at war. Yet more factory construction continues, while cotton and ammunition factories continue producing more goods. The mahajhapanas up their game in trying to influence, and send in secretly armed missionaries to get their job done. It continues to fund Hindus trying to convert Muslims in Persia, and this continues to yield some favourable results, even though the Caliphate are trying their best to stop it. The factories produce more ironclads and major steamships and more large fleets are formed with the existing warships and used to help France-Russia in their every battle. Unrest in the Bharati population begins to grow with the largely unpopular war being waged by the Maharaja's troops, and emigration picks up. Plans are continuously made for the Maharaja's deposition, while more cricket games are played. This does two things, it helps formulate the plan for deposing the King while helping to increase the popularity of Cricket. The army is continuously worked on, and they help bring more stability to the newly conquered nation of Onguayal, and most of the country is now under firm stable hands, with only a little area to the south-east unstable.
 * Naya Bharat expands 5000 km inward into the Australian heartlands, continuing to corner off the Persian colony by going round its border. The fishing business continues to grow, and so does farming. More industrial factories are set up and expeditions into the "wild bush" continue.
 * Hindustan expands 5000 km northward and inward. The propaganda campaign ongoing in Bharat is also targeted to the former Spanish colonists, while more industries are set up. The campaign has helped convert almost all of the colonists, Spanish or otherwise, to become Hindu and is planned to stop next year.
 * Onguayal expands 3750 km north-east and takes up land over the Russian colony. They work on their army, and with funding from Bharat start a huge industrialization program to catch up with the European powers. They also focus on stabilizing more of their country and hope to have all areas under their command by next year.

1871
Berlin stabilizes a portion of the chaotic areas of Germany about the size of South Carolina, centered around the city. Note since these factions are already anti-Mesheryakovist I assume they will join this coalition against Shogun Iemochi who is a Mesheryakovist.
 * Dravidia recognizes Nouvell-Gascogne as being independent, and continues the anti-Mesheryakovist war. Cricket has now become the dominant sport of Dravidia. The industry of Dravidia has greatly expanded due to the amount of materials needed to fund the war.
 * Bharat's mahajhapanas ask whether Dravidia could provide military support, knowing that the Davidians already politically support the planned takeover.
 * Dravidia withdraws half of its forces that are helping Vietnam, to prepare to give military aid. The remaining half continue to attack the French. They tell the Vietnamese not to worry, that the withdrawn troops will aid the anti-Mesheryakovists, just in a different front.
 * Sicily continues to help France. However, they are now having to put down anti-Mesheryakovist revolts which are occuring both in Sicily itself and in Tunisia. These revolts are in part due to the traditional Neapolitan reverence of the Vietnamese people and culture due to how much Vietnam helped them over the years. Pahang expands by 200 square kilometers into both of the former Mayan Javan colonies. The Pahangese work of getting the Mayan states on Java to join up with their colony as a puppet states, offering them back their land plus the protection of Sicily.
 * Venice continues to fight to help France. They have no revolts, as they still hate the Vietnamese.
 * Istoias builds up its infrastructure.
 * Finland continues to build up their military, and continue to build and improve some infrastructure and continues industrialisation. Finland also expands Hyvinkää by 400 km, expands Kōshi by 450 km, and expands Käwäshiro by 400 km. The Finnish politicians continue to yawn against everyone's actions and don't care what happens. However overall Finland decide to stay Union in Sweden. Support for France stops, and Finland fully supports Sweden instead now as well. The Republic of Kazami and Finnish colonies of Kōshi, Käwäshiro, Hyvinkää, and Sätōri continue to send aid and support and military to help on Sweden's side. The Republic of Kazami and Finnish colony of Hyvinkää both send military aid to help Commonwealth of Eetoria and Ngainkeha in their wars. Kanako Björklund continues to promote peace and neutrality which is still supported by Finns as the whole wars and stuff get really tiring. However, Kanako Björklund also secretly supports the remaining of Union with Sweden (and is somewhat pro-Swedish), but she doesn't say that at all to the Finns.
 * The Vietnamese and their allies continue fighting against the Franco-Russians. The Vietnamese begin to gleefully fund the Sicilian revolts to weaken the Franco-Russian regime's Sicilian toadies. The Vietnamese send a force to New Naples to liberate them from Persian occupation, and send another force to occupy the Persian South American colony. Vietnamese agents effectively go to town in Venice, as their own hatred of the Venetians causes them to abandon all sense of restraint in the state.
 * Persia's New Tehran colony expands 100x100 sq mi west. New Persia expands by 100x100 sq mi south. New Isafan continues to expand by 100x100 sq mi north. They begin to defend their colonies against the Vietnamese. They attack Nam My as retaliation.
 * Brunei continues the war against France and her allies troops are landed on the Mentawai Islands along the western coast of Sumatra the defenders are taken by surprise and several islands fall. The colony of Mauritus is expanded and Brunei expands as well. industry and infrastructure continue to be improved.
 * The Commonwealth of Eetoria and Ngainkeha reach the Nipponese colonies, and with the help of the anti-Shogun rebels the Nipponese colonies in OTL Australia are freed from Shogun Iemochi's tyrannical rule. The Commonwealth of Eetoria and Ngainkeha, anti-Shogun rebels/revolutionists, Republic of Kazami, Vietnam, New Lithuania, Swedish colonial forces and Finnish colonial forces join up to form the Coalition of the Pacific and invade Nippon's OTL New Guinea territories.
 * Shogun Iemochi is dismayed at the loss of his Australian territories, and decides to invade New Lithuania and Taiwan to make up for the lost resources. Nippon's forces manage to take over all of Luzon island and Taiwan island by the end of the year. The newly conquered territories' factories become part of the Shogun's war machine, manufacturing supplies for the war effort almost non-stop thanks to the use of slave labour. Iemochi also orders the INN on a huge privateering mission and the mission stops just over half of the anti-Mesheryakovist shipping in the Pacific and east indies. However several of the INN's fleets mutiny and join the Coalition of the Pacific causing the Shogun to force Chamoru's navy to fight for Nippon.
 * Chamoru sends its navy to join up with the INN, mostly because they are scared of Nippon crushing their small nation.
 * With the help of the Coalition of the Pacific, the Sultan of Sunda takes control of Sunda and joins the Coalition of the Pacific. The Sultan declares independence for Sunda to, and sends supplies to the Coalition of the Pacific forces, as Sunda doesn't have a large enough military to defend Sunda itself and wage war overseas.
 * The Chinese colony in OTL Mexico expands by 12,000 sq km northwards towards Baja.
 * By May, armed uprisings more organized than the új Kotor riots break out in Nunajnguk and Wabush.by the end of the year, some territory has already been taken, with the territory already taken by the insurgents centered in Nunajnguk already expanding to near Agvituk (OTL Hopedale) although both cities still are isolated from each other. Taking advantage of the revolts, the army at Kangiqsualujjuaq tries to take advantage of the situation, advancing, although the amount of territory taken is limited.
 * The Budapest-Vác branch and the Zeng-Ragusa branches continue to be built, with the Vác-Budapest branch being almost finished, as the distance between both cities is very small, if compared to Zeng and Ragusa. Rangyóra expands 11500 sq km. The military is updated.
 * Egypt updates its military.
 * Uruguay expands 5000 sq km.
 * Bharat's cities and surrounding areas continue to boom, despite the war. Work on the official "parliamentary building" continues at stage 3. Yet more factory construction continues, while cotton and ammunition factories continue producing more goods. The mahajhapanas send in more secretly armed missionaries to get their job done while funding Hindus trying to convert Muslims in Persia. This continues to yield some favourable results, even though the Caliphate are trying their best to stop it. The factories produce more ironclads and major steamships and more large fleets are formed with the existing warships and used to help France-Russia in their every battle, while the fleet plans to join up with Nippon to help its campaign. The Bharati navy and army are still intact but for how long is anyone's guess. Plans are continuously made for the Maharaja's deposition and unrest in the Bharati population continues to grow with the largely unpopular war being waged by the Maharaja's troops, and emigration picks up. The mahajhapanas secretly go round the populace telling them to get ready to depose the maharaja, and support for the mahajhapanas increase. The army is continuously worked on, perhaps this is one of the reasons that they are still loyal to the maharaja, and they help stablize Onguayal completely. The government plan made in 1869 is put into place, and Onguayal become a semi-independent state with Bharati influence and backing.
 * Naya Bharat expands 5000 km inward into the Australian heartlands, continuing to corner off the Persian colony by going round its border. The fishing business continues to grow, and so does farming. More industrial factories are set up and expeditions into the "wild bush" continue.
 * Hindustan expands 5000 km northward and inward. The propaganda campaign ongoing in Hindustan has helped convert almost all of the colonists, Spanish or otherwise and the campaign is stopped. The colony is very diverse ethmologically, with Spanish-origin, Bharati and Dravidian-origin and Persian origin descendents all living in the colony.
 * Onguayal expands 3750 km north-east and takes up more land over the Russian colony. They continue work on their army, expanding it more to keep control of the country. Meanwhile, to provide jobs, many new roads are planned to be constructed and railroads to be laid down and, with funding from Bharat, continue their industrialization program to catch up with the major world powers.
 * Nouvelle-Normandie expands 11625 sq km. The anarchist and liberal sectro are still growing while the mesheryakovist faction suffers defeats in every corner of the world. Blanqui and Rochefort fled from Songhay to Akon, where most of the population speaks French as result of the French immigration in the last centuries. In Akon, Rochefort stays, and quickly his democratic anarchist party grows. Rochefort meanwhile fleds to Algeria, where he works in his back to Burgundy., but this years he stays.
 * Haiti remains neutral, as the Triumvirate is still fighting the usurpers and warlords, plus the incurssion of ocassional Vietnamese or mesheryakovist assaulters. Port-au-Prince and other cities grow and try to recompose their industrial economy. The Tiumvirate asks Ricasolia for help.
 * Nouvelle-France seems to be besieges from all sides. Belcher, who is fighting at újfundlandi against the Ungavans, can't control the masive protests of the population. The inhabitants of Nouvelle-Armagnac, a former Russian colony, where Russian is still the most spoken language, and the people is mostly Russian in ethnicity, try to contact non.anarchist group in Novorossiya and the government of Kanada, trying to convince them to occupy Nouvelle-France.
 * Nouvelle-Patagonie expands 6000 sq km. Malouinas is still loyal to the French, but Maximilien is already looking for a more peaceful and mostly formal war.
 * The Republic of Nouvelle-Gascogne, under the control of Alphonse Thiers and Patrice Mac-Mahon, rejects most attempts to communicate the western and eastern front though the south african sea. The armadas of the republic strike cruely in South Africa, though some groups consider that it isn't a good idea befriend the nations who would take advantage of it to vassalize France. Thiers formally declares his government to be a Provisional Government of France, so he's claiming the entire French empire, including Nouvelle-Gascogne.
 * Algeria expands 11625 sq km. The Caliph accepts Blanqui by now staying in Algeria, and evesn shows some support to his ideas as the current French regime seems to be imperialist and would soon try to reconquest Arabia. As I Figli di Dio promotes a more liberal kind of Islam, the caliphal government is trying to avoid members of the organizations inside the boundaries of the Caliphate. Algeria is, though, a center of black marketing, with some members of I Figli di Fio being the main trading lords.
 * The Israelis send information about I Figli di Fio that they have taken from captured members to the Caliphate. Meanwhile, now that Swedish Arabia is part of the caliphate, the Israelis ask if they can buy the land which was the small strip of land connecting Swedish Arabia to the Mediterranean sea. They will pay handsomely for this small piece of desert.
 * Russian military begins an offensive in Finland, to liberate the regime. Their initial advance quickly takes the Arctic coast and Karelia. Meanwhile, the popularity of Charles-Louis begins to deteriorate rapidly. Industry grows. The first public transit systems, tramways, appear across Russia.
 * Israel expands its military, but it is still neutral in the war.
 * Sweden's army rushes across Finland to stop the Russian invasion. The Swedish parliament uses emergency powers and combines the remaining Finnish territory with Sweden and establishing direct rule over Finland from Stockholm. Sweden's army loses in several minor battles against the Russians and this alerts the nobles that Sweden's army is not what it was. The Swedish navy in the meantime destroys the Russian navy in both the Pacific and the Baltic. Asgardian troops attack the Russian outpost in Alaska with the help of the IEC who convince many neutral tribes that the Russians are bad and must be defeated. This allows the IEC to take over one fifth of the remaining Alaskan territory. Asgard expands 15250 sq km west locking off the Russians. Sweden produces more naval ships and in secret tests develop the Gatling gun. Swedish forces in France seize Calais after a three month seige and move south towards Orleans. Wonderlaand sends all the ships it can to transport Fjordlaand's army to liberate Taiwan and Luzon, they are expected to arrive next year. Swedish Libya calls for independence and joins Swedish Arabia. Together the new Arabian Caliphate pressures Egypt to join them.

1872
Dahomey expands north and west, while Ashanti expands south on the former Borgu-controlled areas. Are OTL Americas still called the Americas in this game? If not I'll change it to the United States of ...
 * Sicily's revolts rise due to Vietnamese funding. The Chancellor Occhiochiuso attempts to control his nation, but he fails to stop revolts in either Sicily or Tunisia.
 * Israel continues to build up its military. They save up more money, and tell the Caliphate that the offer to buy the small piece of desert that was formerly Swedish Arabia's outlet to the Mediterranean still stands.
 * The Caliphate will not sell that land as it is a vital outlet to the nation.
 * Not all of the Caliphate's outlet the the Mediterranean, just the part that had been Swedish. The part that had been French would remain part of the Caliphate
 * Istoias works on stabilizing their nation after the recent expansion, and building infrastructure for it.
 * Ricasolia builds up its military. It sells supplies to France at a discount price, but is still officially neutral in the war as to not antagonize Vietnam.
 * Persia's New Tehran colony expands 100x100 sq mi west. New Persia expands by 100x100 sq mi south. New Isafan continues to expand by 100x100 sq mi north. They attack Vietnam's only South American colony. They ask China for help.
 * Both of you are our allies. We lost one alliance recently. We're not losing another.
 * Persia ask Hindustan for help.
 * Bharat (I'm guessing you mean Bharat, not Hindustan which is a colony) will gladly help the Persians if they could receive the Persian Australian colony. In return, Bharat will send all of its fleet and army to support the invasion.
 * RandomWriterGuy, you do know that Vietnam is already being planned to win this war due to the French collapse? And its a bit implausible to just take a colony without even letting him respond.
 * Persia agrees.
 * The rebels on Labrador take more parts of the territory. By November, the leaders declare the nation independent from France, although no form of government is officially chosen until things stabilize.However, the Newfoundlandian government in Kuujjuaq does not recognize Labrador and claims the nation as part of their territory, although they do not invade it, as this probably would weaken Newfoundland even more, giving way to the French. The Labradorians also don't recognize the government in Kuujjuaq as the successor of the Newfoundlandian state. Meanwhile, Abus (OTL Wabush) is chosen as the capital instead of Új Kotor, by then still controlled by France, but besieged, as it is not susceptible to be invaded by sea, it is far from Ungava, and it is the most populated city out of the littoral. Meanwhile, unrest continues on the main island.
 * The Zeng-Ragusa railway continues to be built. The economy grows, and the military is updated. Meanwhile, Dél-Afrika expands 11500 sq km.
 * Uruguay expands 5000 sq km.
 * Egypt updates its military.
 * China works on rebuilding from the Chinese/Korean War and the Taipeng Rebellion. Meanwhile, the military expands.
 * Finland continues to build up their military, and continue to build and improve some infrastructure and continues industrialisation. Finland also expands Hyvinkää by 400 km, expands Kōshi by 450 km, and expands Käwäshiro by 400 km. The Republic of Kazami and the Finnish colonies of Hyvinkää and Kōshi continue to help Coalition of the Pacific while Käwäshiro continues sending supplies to help Sweden. Lastly, more Shinto shrines are built in Käwäshiro as well.
 * The Coalition of the Pacific takes control of Papua Nipponia, Ringga and Nikoman. This is thanks to more of the INN defecting from the Shogun to joining the coalition. The coalition moves into the Philippines to help the New Lithuanians and Vietnamese push back Nippon. The Coalition also requests help from Brunei.
 * Nippon continues to lose territory to the Coalition of the Pacific and more of the INN defect too, and Nippon loses her naval strength. The Nipponese colony of Korubia and Sokotara both rebel and Nippon loses control of them too. Anti-Tokugawa protests begin in major cities, and these are cracked down harshly; these protesters are forced to work in factories as slave labour as punishment. Shogun Iemochi requests aid from his Mesheryakovist allies before he loses Nippon to the Coalition of the Pacific.
 * Akram Akbar declares himself Sultan of Sokotara, and he sets up a fundamentalist Islamic state with himself as Absolute ruler. Sokotara allies themselves with the Caliphate and offers his Sultanate to join the Caliphate once he dies. Sokotara begins to invade OTL Somalia in a jihad to make it part of the Caliphate.
 * Kyon Tapuri's coup in Korubia is almost bloodless, as most of the colonial government are against Shogun Tokugawa Iemochi's rule. Tapuri declares Nippon's former Korubia colony to be the United States of America, and presents a constitution giving everybody equal rights (that's all ethnicities and sexes).
 * Korea continues to expand their military, after their humiliating defeat in the Sino-Korean War. Also, the industry is built up, and businesses begin to be set up overseas. Several major Korean businesses are set up in Japan, where they take advantage of the chaos to hire cheap laborers to create things more efficiently. Also, after hearing news of the "United States of America", the Emperor decided to formally recognize it as a nation and requests embassies between the nations, as well as an economic alliance as well as a possible military alliance.
 * The Shogun is furious Korea tries to do business with Nippon while recognizing a rebel nation. The Shogun removes all the Korean businesses set up this turn as punishment and tensions between the two nations sky-rockets.
 * Brunei agrees to send aid to and coordinate assaults with the coalition of the Pacific. Brunei continues to successfully attack and annex French islands in their island hopping campaign and expand the assault invading Japanese Andaman. Brunei expands Mauritius.
 * The coalition of the Pacific has already taken control of the Andaman islands, as they are part of the Nipponese colony of Nikoman.
 * Sorry, my bad. Kinda hard to tell what part of Nippon is my friend and what part isn't.
 * Nouvelle-Normandie expands 11625 sq km; the local aristocracy makes deals with the anti-mesheryakovist faction to avoid attacks on their lands, so they can expands the colony and use its resources, and rejoin France as soon as the war is over. Charles-Louis decides to let his son Eugène-Louis, rule the country while he's in the battlefront. Eugène shows himself more tyrannical than his father never was, executing the anarchists and putting France under military rule. His troops, anyway, capture some of the outskirts of Calais and Furanchesou, though the main ares are still under hostile control. The secret police practically has stopped helping Sicily in its criminal problems, and the army hardly care about other countries' revolts. In Akon, Henri Rochefort and his party take down the current government and stabilize the country, and, though some disarray may occur, the new army of Akon stops the French from advancing.
 * Nouvelle-Gascogne expands some 800 sq km. The current government frustrates any attempts of the French secret police to topple them.
 * Haiti continues asking help to Ricasolia to improve its destroyed economy. The opinions of the Triumvirate about what political actions would they implement are divided.
 * Nouvelle-France hardly supports the attack from all directions. Belcher is still fighting in his country, as he seems to be the most popular mesheryakovist ruler. The Russians in Nouvelle-Armagnac still ask Novorossiya and Kanada for help. They start sending supplies to the enemy. The troops abandon újfundlandi to their own.
 * Malouians betrays France joining the opposite side. Nouvelle-Patagonie expands 6000 sq km again.
 * Algeria expands 11625 sq km. Blanqui creates a Liberation Army of France in that colony, but it's still too small. The pact with Sokotara is accepted. The Caliphate grows in economy, and the industrial economy becomes the greatest in all Muslim nations. The Caliph offers again the Shah a dela to fight together the Hindus. He offers the Shah a royal marriage (and eventual union) between his son and a daughter of the Shah.
 * Bharat's cities and surrounding areas continue to boom, despite the war. Work on the official "parliamentary building" continues at stage 3. Factory construction finishes and factories are mainly churning out equipment for the war effort. The mahajhapanas send in more secretly armed missionaries to get their job done while funding Hindus trying to convert Muslims in Persia, continuing to yield more favourable results, even though the Caliphate are trying their best to stop it. By now, a significant percent of eastern Persia is Hindu, while western Persians grow more fundamentalists Islamics. The factories produce more ironclads and major steamships and more large fleets are formed with the existing warships and are sent to Persia to join up with the Persians. Plans are continuously made for the Maharaja's deposition and unrest in the Bharati population continues to grow with the largely unpopular war being waged by the Maharaja's troops, and immigration picks up. The mahajhapanas continue to go round the populace telling them to get ready to depose the maharaja, and support for the mahajhapanas increase. The army is continuously worked on, perhaps this is one of the reasons that they are still loyal to the maharaja.
 * Naya Bharat expands 2500 km inward into the Australian heartlands, continuing to corner off the Persian colony by going round its border. More industrial factories are set up and expeditions into the "wild bush" continue.
 * Hindustan expands 8500 km northward and inward. The population continue to build factories with their bare hands and migration from the main settlements to better farming areas is encouraged.
 * Onguayal expands 3750 km north-east and takes up more land over the Russian colony. They continue work on their army and expand it. New roads begin construction and railroads start to be laid down. With more funding from Bharat, their industrialization program continues to catch up with the major world powers.
 * Dravidia sends as much funding and propaganda they can into Bharat, to support the anti-Maharaja forces. They continue the war against France, with their forces attacking the Persian fleets as they go to fight the Vietnamese.
 * Sweden uses its supreme naval power to its advantage. In a stunning battle, almost the entire French navy is wiped out by the Swedish navy which loses several ships in what will be known as the Battle of the English Channel. Landings by the Swedish army group west on the French coast then quickly seize Brest and Cherbourg opening a new front to relieve pressure on Calais. Sweden's army group south seizes Orleans and proceeds on towards Rheims and Paris. Sweden offers to help the Algerian army to reach France and open another front in the south to help liberate Naples. Sweden's army group north is nowhere as successful with multiple losses and few victories against the Russian army. However the Emperor orders the Gatling gun to be used on the Russian army in the next battle as a last resort against the Russian's superior man and firepower. The Gatling gun is a success in the Battle of Helsinki which forces the Russians to retreat from the city but the Swedish and Finnish armies still sustained heavy losses and are unable to give chase. The IEC expands in Alaska and Asgard expands 15250 sq km west and north cutting of the Russian colony. Minor skirmishes occur along the borders.
 * Fjordlaand initiates a full scale invasion of the sparely populated Onguayal. They also help the Coalition of the Pacific by supplying them with a portion of their army to give the Coalition much needed manpower.
 * The Russians test a new experimental artillery piece. The Second siege of Helsinki is planned, and a free Finnish government is set up in Viipuri. This new shell, designed to explode on impact will be of good use. The Pacific fleet destroys the swedes in the Bering pass, taking advantage of the weather. it later comes as re-enforcements. The black sea fleet is ordered to send reinforcements as well. Operation Suomi turns out great success. Karelia and the kola, as well as much of mainland Finland are liberated. Russian forces come to relieve forces in France. A captured Gatling gun during a siege is reverse-engineered and ordered to be produced. Many industrial factories are ordered to produce ammunition or weaponry. The military is holding out well, and the plan an all-out assault on Helsinki, to take the city and find a foothold. some discontent grows, and with the Tsar Alexander II as well, but wants to wait until the war with Sweden is over to say anything. Aleuts rally as many people as the swedes to their cause, expanding the Alaska Oblast and the Aleutian Confederacy into 1/5 of the remaining Alaskan territory. The Russian Artillery for the first time in recorded history uses indirect fire. The new artillery are used in "multiple guns" form polish 16-17th century designs. The first resemblance of what is now known as modern artillery emerges form a top secret IWD department. mass-produiiton of weapons continues.

1873
The two nations in civil disarray in the area of OTL Nigeria have by now collapsed so much that all semblace of civilization is gone, and they are totally undeveloped (AKA like the black areas of the map). However, this makes the small nations surrounded by the civil disarray capable of doubling their size. Meanwhile, South and North Gao unite. {C}Can I put myself in the active mod section up there since I am back? Thanks.- Pita
 * Sicilian Tybalto Zingarello announces that Mesheryakovism has betrayed the original collectivist principles. He declares himself to be an anarcho-collectivist, and with the help of fellow anarcho-collectivists, he overthrows Chancellor Cambio Occhiochiuso. However, Occhiochiuso escapes to Tunisia, where he declares war upon the anarcho-collectivists. Soon, Zingarello's territory is reduced to the city of Syracuse, due to the anti-Mesheryakovists, funded by the Vietnamese, revolting in the Mesheryakovists' moment of weakness. They form an organization called the Lega di Nazionalista Italiana, or the Italian Nationalist League. The Tunisian part of Sicily is divided between the Mesheryakovists, let by Chancellor Occhiochiuso, I Figli di Dio, and the LNI. La Città funds and supplies all sides. The Sicilian forces withdraw from the war to attempt to restore order in their nation.
 * Venice remains Mesheryakovist, but the LNI gains a few supporters, as do the anarcho-collectivists. The Venetian government begins cracking down on La Città, which has grown to be very powerful. Meanwhile, the Venetians continue helping the French.
 * The Israelis state that if the Caliphate ever changes their mind about the territory sale, the offer will remain. The Israeli military continues to be built up.
 * Persia's New Tehran colony expands 100x100 sq mi west. New Persia expands by 100x100 sq mi south. New Isafan continues to expand by 100x100 sq mi north. They continue defending their American colonies and continue attacking Vietnam's colony. They tell Bharat to attack the main country in the west.
 * Finland continues to build up their military, and continue to build and improve some infrastructure and continues industrialisation. Finland also expands Hyvinkää by 400 km, expands Kōshi by 450 km, and expands Käwäshiro by 400 km. The Republic of Kazami does not recognise the new nation that formed under Chinese Mexico and it's recognised as a part of Nippon, and is still called Korubia by the Republic of Kazami same with the Finnish colonies which call it by its original name as well. Anyway, the Republic of Kazami and Finnish colonies continue to help Sweden and Coalition of the Pacific. Meanwhile a new colony that's on the coastal little squarish-looking area in Africa (in front of the two smaller African nations that are close to said area) is established and is called Moriyää.
 * Where?
 * Could you perhaps say what modern-day nations are there? Because coastal little squarish looking is very vague.
 * It's in the purple circled area on the map I put up. Sorry I couldn't be clear as I tried to find an city around that area but comparing the PM Africa map and the other OTL Africa maps it was hard to tell exactly where it is. Hope this clarify things...
 * Ah, this is near Ngwane and Matabele, just to inform the names.
 * The King of Neue Brandenburg dies in this year, to be replaced by Wilhelm III. He has little interest in ruling, and allows the Volkstag to keep their newfound power. Although unpopular with the people, he leaves the government alone. This leads to the Conservative Party falling apart, with most of its members joining the Royalist Party. After the Socialist overwhelming victory, the Socialists split into several factions over the war. The Mesheryakovist Party remains on the side of socialist unity, supporting alliance with Nippon and Russia-France. They have the support of the military, and remain the largest party, so Neue Brandenburg stays in the war. The Beauharnists, meanwhile, advocate more national interests, and so call for the country to switch sides in the war. The remainder form the Collectivist Party, which advocates a peaceful, democratic revolution. A national cricket side is scheduled to tour Bharat, but remains at home due to the war. Finally, Neue Wilhelmsburg expands by 500 sq km, and the nation itself by 10,000 sq km.
 * Without the French troops to support them, the government in Szent András can't control the unrest. In March, another revolt happens. The insurgents storm the presidential palace, and take the president prisoner. In April, the rebels declare themselves independent from France. By October, a new constitution is made, and a new government is chosen. The form of government is chosen as a parliamentary monarchy. A provisional government, headed by Balázs Kiss, is founded, until the members of the parliament are chosen. Meanwhile, in Ungava, some armies in the border desert to the Labradorian side, and given the small presence of troops outside of Kuujjuaq. The Labradorian government takes those territories, including the abandoned fortress of Kangiqsualujjuaq. The Labradorian government recognizes the independence of the Szent András government, which also claims to be the successor to the Newfoundlandian state. Meanwhile, at Ungava, the capital is changed to Kuujjuarapik due to the fact that Kuujjuaq is too close to the Newfoundlandian border. Meanwhile, a flag is designed for Labrador, containing the colors red, white and green, organized horizontally, in this order, from the top to the bottom (e.g. the OTL flag of Hungary). Meanwhile, in the south central part of the country, with the French troops leaving, the Newfoundland government in Szent András starts to claim those areas.
 * Greece and Hungary recognize the government at Szent-András. Meanwhile, the Zeng-Ragusa railway continues to be built. Meanwhile, to connect the eastern parts of the country, too, a new railway, from Buda to Koloszvár, is planned, and will start to be built in the next year. The military is updated. Dél-Afrika expands 11500 sq km. Meanwhile, separatist movements appear on Serbia.
 * Egypt updates its military.
 * Uruguay expands 5000 sq km.
 * Chamoru decides to defect to the Coalition of the Pacific after a coalition force comes to invade Chamoru. They send supplies to help fight against the Shogun.
 * The Coalition of the Pacific recognises the USA, and requests they join the coalition. The Coalition of the Pacific sees even more of the Nipponese military defecting to join the Coalition. Several Daimyo lords in Nippon also join the Coalition and start rebelling. Thanks to this the Coalition takes control of Satotochi, Taiwan, Chamoru, Nansei islands, Kyushu, Shikoku and part of Honshu. Hyogo prefecture and Osaka bay become the main battle grounds, as the Shogun's hardcore supporters try to stop the Coalition reaching Kyoto.
 * The USA builds up its inferstructure and agrees to joining the Coalition of the Pacific. Supplies are sent to help the war effort against Shogun Iemochi.
 * Shogun Tokugawa Iemochi sends his main armies to fight in Hyogo prefecture to stop the coalition forces. He asks Russia for Gatling guns and the new artillery guns to help turn the tide against the coalition forces, before they seize Kyoto.
 * The Sultanate of Sokotara continues to invade OTL Somalia, and Sultan Akbar fathers a baby girl with one of his concubines. He offers his daughter to marry the Caliph's son so the two nations join in dynastic union once Akbar dies and his possessions pass on to his daughter, and subsequently to the Caliphate. This is mostly just to make the pact more legit and stopping his son's claiming his territory.
 * Brunei begins to wind down the island hopping campaign in the Indian Ocean and consolidates the new territorial holdings. A mini baby boom occures as troops return home for a short leave. Infrastructure and industry are improved. Toward the second half of the year Brunei launches an assault with their revived fleet against Persian Singapore and the Nipponese island south of it to break the enemy control of the Strait of Malacca.
 * That's the Nipponese colony of Ringga which has been taken over by Coalition forces.
 * Coalition forces aid Brunei in the invasion of Persian Singapore, and say Brunei has guaranteed future support from other members of the Coalition of the Pacific if Brunei attacks any other Mesheryakovist nations.
 * The Vietnamese continue fighting against the Franco-Russians and the Nippponese.
 * That colony isn't French anymore. Is an independent republic that is against the current French regime.
 * Korea continues to build up their military, as well as industrialize. Electric lights now are an everyday part of life, as are telegraphs. Railways now crisscross the entire nation, and science and the arts flourish. Several more Universities are founded, with the goal of Korea becoming the economic, cultural and scientific capital of the Asian world.
 * Bharat's cities and surrounding areas continue to boom, despite the war. Bharat, on the maharaja's orders help invade the area the Persians are invading and make good progress before being stopped in a series of battles. They then take over the Persian Australian colony promised to them and merge it with Naya Bharat. Work on the official "parliamentary building" continues at stage 3. In a surprise move, many mahajhapanas attempt a coup of the government with Dravidian and Bharati troops who are against the maharaja. The coup at first seems to be failing as royal guards attempt to stop the coup but towards the end, the troops unders the command of the mahajhapanas manage to overwhelm the guards and storm the palace, capturing the maharaja and deposing him from the throne. They, instead, install his son as the new maharaja, who currently is only five years of age. In his coronation, he assumes the title of "Maharaja of the Bharati, Dravidians and the territories of the empire, and high warrior emperor of Hindustan and Naya Bharat". The mahajhapanas will rule for him until he gets to age. They then break their alliance with France-Russia and ask for to make peace with the Coalition of the Pacific. They also ask Sweden to stop attacking Onguayal as it is now under a fair government and stable and they don't want their hard work to go to waste. Factories continue mainly churning out equipment for the war effort, even though the new government has come to power. The mahajhapanas, now having full control, start to fund pro-Bharati elements in the Persian government hoping to topple over their King. They also send in more secretly armed missionaries and funding Hindus trying to convert Muslims in Persia increases dramatically. More percent of eastern Persia is now Hindu, while western Persians are tried to be influenced as well by the funding of more "liberal" Islam. Some of the army is disbanded as the Bharatis plan to reduce their warring campaigns in the world, and the remainder of the army is given better weapons.
 * Naya Bharat expands 2500 km inward into the Australian heartlands, and merges with the Persian Australian colony. More industrial factories are set up and expeditions into the "wild bush" has given good results. Many aboriginals were met and it was understood that they are a very physically strong people, while their mental abilities are quite weak. The Naya Bharatis plan to send more expeditions to understand them more and how to help the aboriginals so an ally could be made of them.
 * Hindustan expands 8500 km northward and inward. The population continues to build factories with their bare hands and migration from the main settlements to better farming areas is encouraged.
 * Onguayal expands 3750 km north-east and takes up more land over the Russian colony. They continue work on their army and expand it, helping stablize the war front against the Fjordis. The ask to open up dialogue with the Swedes. New roads begin construction and railroads start to be laid down. With more funding from Bharat, their industrialization program continues to catch up with the major world powers.
 * Dravidia puts in the half of the military they had in reserves to travel up north to help the mahajhapanas keep the order in their nation and stop any socialists from seizing control again.
 * Sweden orders the evacuation of Finland and the Baltic Alliance pulling out all troops and important intellectuals and officials. The rest of Finland controlled by Sweden is destroyed with scorched earth tactics to deny the Russians of anything valuable. Sweden's army is on the verge of collapse with the armies in France overextended. Evacuations of Brest and Cherbourg occur and the Swedish army is forced to pull out of Orleans. The almighty Swedish navy is nowhere around to help as it is now in the Indian Ocean where it lays waste to the entire Bharatian navy. Asgard expands 15250 sq km and the IEC expands into Alaska. Sweden desperately seeks to recruit men for their army which is rapidly collapsing due to low morale and collectivist propaganda.
 * Istoias, realizing that Sweden and its vassals has the large Schmittist population of any European nation, sends massive quantities of food and supplies to keep the Swedish army from collapsing
 * Dravida sends word to Sweden that Bharat's government has been toppled, and now they are no longer allies with the Russians, so Sweden should stop attacking them. The Dravidians state that their navy, using the Tamil Arsenal, can control the Indian ocean, and the Swedish navy should help the main Swedish nation against Russia.
 * How can you lay waste to Bharat's entire navy, as we are only focused in the Bharati Ocean while you are overstretched. Instead they would survive and inflict heavy casualties on the Swedes.
 * Nouvelle-Normandie expands 11625 sq km. Charles-Louis dies and, as his son is a tyrant, the revolts grow. Blanqui takes over Burgundy with I Figli di Dio's help. He declares peace with Sweden, giving up any claim in Finland. Trochu, realizing that there's no hope to Eugène's side, withdraws his army from Italy and besiege Paris in Blanqui's name. I Figli di Dio uses its new branches of Burgundy to open other bases in Italy and fight that way La Città and the provisional government in dispute. France is in civil war, mesheryakovists, anarchists and republicans. The last two groups vote to end the union with Russia and the monarchy itself. Akon becomes a French vassal, mroe specifically, of the blanquists. Nouvelle-Gascogne does the same and expands to the coast so when Vietnam takes over the territories of the Swahili nations they have a way to expand. Mac-Mahon joins the Siege of Paris and asks the anti-socialist faction to help them. The French civil war is fought in all fronts, but both Blanqui and Thiers agree to not fight each other by now, as well as asking the rest of the anti-mesheryakovist faction to not attack them.
 * Belcher withdraws from all fronts, closes the borders and declares neutrality.
 * The Haitian Triumvirate sends all the usurpers and warlords to fight in the anti-socialist side in Paris, so Haiti is pretty pacific by this time.
 * Malouinas is declared to be a Republic after the death of the Prince, and joins the blanquist-republican faction in Paris. A nobility system similar to OTL Legion of Honour is created, to honor the Prince's descendants.
 * Algeria expands 11625 sq km. I Figli di Dio grows strong, fighting the Hinduists among the Caliphal secret police. The Caliph asks again a royal marriage to Persia. He also accepts the one with Sokotara.
 * Russian forces manage to capture finland and the retreating army, uniting the rail systems and setting up telegraph lines as they go. The telegraph between Vladivostok and EUropean RUssia is finished. The periodic table of elements is invented by Mendeleev. A new independent Finnish government is set up in the captured areas, and efforts are made to bring supplies in via train. The Last siege of Helsinki lasted for three months and took the lives of over one million people (both sides combined). One of the bloodiest battles to date. Alexander, tired of being repressed and declares to the son of Charles-Louis: we shall see who is emperor, you, or I!" quoting Peter II. Peace is being brokered with Sweden.
 * Your side is losing the war.\
 * I'm pretty sure if you read carefuly, in next year's Swedish post, Russia has captured up until northern Sweden, and we discussed a Russian capture of Scandinavia with Pyrrhic victory, then near decimation in a counter-offensive.

1874
Large protests are held in Prussia and Itsaygahi, as many people feel that their government is inactive and not doing anything.

Ashanti expands south on former Borgu territory.
 * Dravidia, feeling that the Indian Ocean naval front is secure, sends most of its offensive fleet to attack in the Pacific Ocean. The Dravidians attack the Russian South American colony, seizing its port and attempting to launch a landing force into the colony. They seize the coastline, but are unable to fight through the mountains, and thus they are stuck there. A second part of the fleet bombards Vladivostok and other Pacific Russian ports. They also send massive aid to the Coalition of the Pacific, hoping to push Japan out of the war.
 * Istoias continues sending food to Sweden, as they fear a collapse of Sweden could cause chaos in all of northern Europe, Schmittist and otherwise. They sell food for a discount price to all other members of the anti-Mesheryakovists. Istoias has unofficially joined the anti-Mesheryakovist side.
 * La Lega di Nazionalista Italiana, in a massive military push, forces all of the Muslim and Socialist forces out of Tunisia, save for Tunis city, which Occhiochiuso still controls. Meanwhile, they seize all of Sicily, with Tybalto Zingarello fleeing into Italy, and starting anarcho-collectivist revolts there. However, Zingarello's revolts are eclipsed by the massive LNI-supported revolts, which occur throughout the Italian peninsula. Meanwhile, Pahang expands by 600 square kilometers into both former Mayan Javan colonies.
 * Venice, too, suffers from LNI revolts, and is forced to withdraw its forces from helping the French to deal with the revolts.
 * The Vietnamese continue to fight against the Russians, and focus their attention on Europe.
 * Taiwan & the Philippines were liberated last turn, BTW.
 * The Chinese colony in California expands north by 12,000 sq km.
 * Sweden's navy sweeps the Russian and Japanese fleets in a truly amazing battle off the coast of Honshu. The Swedish navy is a crippled remnant of itself but nevertheless managed to sink over 90% of the combined Russo-Japanese fleet. The remaining Swedish ships composing of only 30% of Sweden's original force limp back to Asgard. The northern front in Sweden's European theatre stops the Russian forces in the Battle of Umea after reserves are called and starts to push them back into Finland. In France the Swedish doggedly hold onto Calais. The IEC expands into Alaska and Asgard expands 15,250 sq km westwards. Sweden produces more naval ships and hurridly trains new recruits to combat the Russians.
 * In Neue Brandenburg a political coup takes place, as the Beauharnist Party, the Royalist Party, and the Collectivist Party form a coalition government, and Beauharnist leader Georg Richter becomes Minister-President (now more commonly known as simply President of the Volkstag, or President). These three parties put aside their ideological differences (as the Royalists are anti-socialist) as they are all anti-French. They declare their neutrality and open negotiations with Finland, Sweden, and the Coalition of the Pacific for entering on the other side. The Collectivists and much of the population are opposed to a new war, but the other parties are eager to establish a rapport with possible new allies. The first outright socialist commune is established in the west, known as Gleichheit. Other new cities in the west include Neue Potsdam, Adalhardsburg, and Christiana. The country still expands west by 10,000 sq km.
 * Persia's New Tehran colony expands 100x100 sq mi west. New Persia expands by 100x100 sq mi south. New Isafan continues to expand by 100x100 sq mi north. They continue defending their American colonies and capture Vietnam's South American colony.
 * Szent András' Newfoundland sends a small army to stake its claim on the southern territories.despite this, only half of the territory is actually reached by the end of the year. The rest is only claimed. Meanwhile, in February, the Parliament is put together, and is defined that the Prime-Minister may have up to two consecutive terms. After voting made by the members of the parliament, the Prime-Minister is chosen to be Balázs Kiss. Since Newfoundland was a Republic before the French invasion, and thus has no royal family, the parliament resolves to elect the King among the Parliament members. Eventually, Imre Dzsudzsák is chosen. In November, he is crowned Imre I of Newfoundland. Meanwhile, in Labrador, inspired by Szent András, in June, the form of government of Labrador is defined as a constitutional monarchy. However, since there, as in the Newfoundlandian case, there are no legitimate candidates, the chief of the provisional government, István Kovács, proclaims himself King of Labrador. Meanwhile, more people desert from the Ungavan garrisons.
 * The railways continue to be built. Meanwhile, Magyar Dél-Amerikaban expands 11,500 sq km. The military expands. Meanwhile, the Serbian separatist movement gains supporters. Meanwhile, Queen Amália dies, and is succeeded by her cousin János, later crowned John I.
 * Egypt updates its military.
 * Uruguay expands 5000 sq km.
 * Finland continues to build up their military, and continue to build and improve some infrastructure and continues industrialisation. Finland also expands Hyvinkää by 400 km, expands Kōshi by 450 km, expands Käwäshiro by 400 km, and expands Moriyää by 300 km. The Republic of Kazami and the Finnish colonies (except Moriyää obviously) continues to help Sweden fight off the Russians. Meanwhile, Jaana Onozuka (Finnish paganist and female) declares Shogun on the Russian-controlled area of Finland while Kanako Björklund declares Shogun on the Swedish-controlled area of Finland.
 * As I understand, Russia controls all of Finland, Umea is in Northern Sweden.
 * Your side is losing the war, Lx. Your posts are getting increasingly disconnected from reality. Russia's fortunes should be be falling, not rising. And there's the fact that Russia's main allies of France and Nippon have left the war.
 * Russia's practically fighting the war all by themselves at this point, as Bharat has turned, the former Neapolitan areas are in chaos, France is having a civil war, Japan's government has been overthrown and no new allies are coming. They can't win on their own.
 * Yes, and in Russia, the only victories are happening in Sweden, as it is the only front we were that actively involved in. Nobody has attacked Russia so far other than Sweden and its vassals (which in if you read Scan's post are evacuating rapidly to stop casualties in The Russian advance) there will be not many resources to rely on when the swedish counter-offensive is under way, and we will have to rely on rail links to supply, which will lead to Russian defeat (especially if an attack on the Pacific ensues).
 * Once again I need to refute your Russophilic nonsense. You have no more major backup, and none is likely to come. This frees up the anti-Russian faction to gang up on you. Russia. Is. Doomed . There is no way for Russia to salvage the situation unless they surrender.
 * The Coalition of the Pacific supports the Swedish navy defeat the Russo-Nipponese fleet, thus taking away all of Shogun Iemochi's naval power. This allows the Coalition to blockade the Tokugawa held areas of Nippon, and allows the coalition to take Kyoto, thus wining the battle of Hyogo prefecture. As the Coalition forces march towards Edo, Emperor Meiji announces Imperial support for the Coalition and denounces the rule of the Tokugawa Shogunate. This news spreads quickly throughout Nippon, and many of the Daimyo declare support for the coalition as they have support of the Emperor, the true ruler of Nippon. This eventually leaves Edo as the last remaining Mesheryakovist stronghold. The siege of Edo begins, and lasts for a week, it ends with Shogun Iemochi and his remaining hardcore supporters being assassinated by members of the Shogunate who switched sides, releasing the war was lost. They open up the gates of Edo, and let the coalition forces in. Rather than surrender the rest of the hardcore supporters gather outside Edo castle to commit Seppuku. The Coalition of the Pacific thus take all of Nippon, as the other Daimyo lords recognise the Imperial-backed authority of the coalition's rule. The new Nipponese government recognise the independence of the USA and Sokotara, they also begin to draft a new constitution for Nippon, and plans to attack Russian Siberia are drafted.
 * The majority of the Commonwealth of Eetoria and Ngainkeha's troops return home, with a few staying to help in the invasion of Siberia and rebuilding Nippon. The commonwealth establishes a trade deal with the USA too.
 * The Sultanate of Sokotara continues to invade OTL Somalia
 * Russian Shipyards start producing Ships like wildfires. In this year alone, the war effort and the money put into it doubles the sizes of the White and Black Sea Fleets (although it's still only 60% of Russia's pre-war force). The South Atlantic and Indian Ocean fleets are returned to their bases for fortification, and possible original purposes of protecting trade ships. The South Pacific Fleet is built up (Stationed in New Zealand). The North Atlantic Fleet (Stationed in Novorossiya) is built up and sent to protect the colonies. The White Sea Fleet, mostly made up of Icebreakers, Gets a new suit of Ironclads. Every steel plant is ordered to produce weapons for the war effort, and the government comes up with a new idea, "War Bonds" to raise money. Peace is tried to be brokered, but to no avail, as one of Russia's only real request is Finnish Independence (which Sweden is reluctant to grant). A New Eleciton is Called by the Empreor Himself for next year, and the Emperor Dismisses the parliament to end the MEsheryakovist rule,"they are corrupting the name of a great man and making it into one of the most evil things of the world today" on the subject of the party. Lacking a real Right wing party (other than the radical Industrialist party), the Liberals, a Center-Left party gains many supporters,
 * Brunei breaks through the Persian lines after a long and bloody siege of Singapore. After annexing Singapore Brunei having relized most of their strategic goals begins to bring the troops home and consalidates control over the new territories. Brunei continues to send aid and support to the Coalition of the Pacific. The Mauritius colony is expanded.
 * Nouvelle-Normandie expands 17250 sq km. Trochu and Mac-Mahon topple the government and declare the Republic of France, including the territories of Burgundy (no longer a vassal, but a part of the main nation), Songhay, Nouvelle-Normandie and Nouvelle-Gascogne. Blanqui, Trochu and Thiers form the Triumvirate of the Republic. Mac-Mahon and his soldiers are sent to eliminate any reduct from the socialists in the French territories so close to them. Henri Rochefort, de facto leader of the Republic of Akon (now a French vassal), does his best to avoid I Figli di Dio to take power, though they've already opened bases on Akon and most of the population is Muslim. Eugène flees to his private lands in Haiti.
 * In Haiti, Eugène tries to live as a landlord and get back to the local politics when the bad reputation of the mesheryakovist is gone, but the authorities capture him and take him to the Regent Triumvirate. They are disposed to give him tot he anti-socialist faction if they're disposed themselves to pay for the right of extradition. The life in the islands seems to be better, and many disturbers are actually dead or have joined Belcher and his NewFrench remnant.
 * Nouvelle-France is still closed to the outisde (except for some Russian, Kanadian, Vietnamese and Newfoundlandian ships coming with help of Nouvelle-Aragnac's rebels). This rebels show commercial support to all the factions disputing the former Újfundlandi, so they can grow economiclly to eventually overthrow Belcher's government.
 * Maximilien de Beauharnais dies assassinated by the last mesheryakovists in his contry. Two of his sons also die assassinated by I Figli di Dio's members in a visit to Nouvelle-Patagonie. That colony expands 6000 sq km. The new Republic of Malouinas is in economical crisis and no cadidate is yet elected to be the first President.
 * Algeria expands 11625 sq km. The Caliphate grows industrially and economically. The former swedish arabia territory is designated to be governed by a Visir, as well as Adal. The Sultan of the United JIhadist Emirates also has an advisor visir. A Grand Visir is the responsible to govern the Holy Lands (the main land) and to aproove the candidates to be elected as Visir every four years by the community. The Caliph encourages the Muslim nations in the world to expand and avoid an european monopolization of the colonial power.
 * Bharat's cities and surrounding areas continue to boom, and with the war over morale takes a rise. Retreat from the colony the Persians were invading as they are now neutral again and do not take over the Persian colony in Australia. Work on the official "parliamentary building" continues at stage 3, and despite the war will finish on schedule next year. Factories are re-equipped to churn out steam warships and ironclads to build up its naval fleet, which is now only 30% its strength pre-war. However, the stats impove as by theend of the year the factories manage to get it up to 60% of its pre-war strength. The mahajhapanascontinue funding pro-Bharati elements in the Persian government hoping to topple over their King. They also send in more secretly armed missionaries and funding Hindus trying to convert Muslims in Persia increases dramatically. More percent of eastern Persia is now Hindu, while western Persians are tried to be influenced as well by the funding of more "liberal" Islam. The army is called back from all around the world, except in Soth America and Australia where troop numbers are increased to lessen the surge of un-employed troops. More factory and road construction begins to get the disbanded troops back to work and to help the economy pick up from the war, even though the cities are doing well.
 * Naya Bharat expands 3500 km northward on Persia's Australian colonial border. More industrial factories are set up, and the increased roops are used as worce-force while they have nothing to do, helping them to keep physically fit. The colony's leaders decide to bring in aboriginal volunteers to conduct studies on them to learn more about them and to see if they could help increase their menal strength.
 * Hindustan expands 7500 km northward and inward. The population continue to build factories with their bare hands and migration from the main settlements has increased, helping the colony expand more, and fertile land is farmed.
 * Onguayal expands 4250 km north-east and takes up more land over the Russian colony. They continue work on their army and expand it, helping to man the front front against the Fjordis, which has not seen action for a few months due to the ongoing dialogue between countries. With more funding from Bharat, their industrialization program continues to catch up with the major world powers.

1875


The nation of Itsaygahi, whose government has been inactive for more than three decades, breaks apart along its borders, with each province becoming its own sovereign nation. The Itsaygahi African colony and the two puppet states merge to form Guinea. Wales becomes independent, also ruling over Cornwall and the Isle of Man, and is fiercely independent. Meanwhile, rioters begin to overthrow the Prussian government.further south, Breslau unites the surrounding areas, which correspond to most of Silesia. .
 * La Lega di Nazionalista Italiana seizes control over all of Italy (including Sardinia and Corsica, as well as Tuscany and Lombardy, basically all territory Naples had as vassal or main nation) due to the French withdrawing. ZIngarello flees into France, where he will support the French anarcho-collectivists. Occhiochiuso is arrested and thrown in prison, where the stress of being jailed results in the elderly statesman dying. La Lega di Nazionalista Italiana seizes control of Venice in swift military action, finally uniting all of Italy, plus Tunisia as one nation. They proclaim the Republic of Italy, although its capital is still in Naples. Italy will be a secular republic, so that Waldensians and Catholics can coexist (like Germany in real life). Rome will remain a protected city under the rule of the Pope, however. The newly elected president is named Benvolio Mecacci. Pahang expands by 3000 square kilometers into Borneo. Attempts continue to be made to convince the two remaining Mayan colonies to become puppets of the government of Italian Pahang,
 * Dravidia, confident that the French collapse has wrecked them and that Bharat is now stable, withdraws most of its forces back to Dravidia, save for a small, token amount which continues to help win victories against the Russians. The Dravidians rebuild their withdrawn army to be more modern. As Dravidian forces that were withdrawing from the European front return along the African coast, they stop in the nation of Kongo, in the area approximately where the Congo river opens into the Atlantic Ocean, and establish the colony of Kongo there.
 * Ricasolia, horrified at what is occuring in Itsaygahi, builds up their military.
 * Israel recognizes Italy, and builds up their own military. They tell the Caliphate that their territorial purchase offer still stands, and in fact they have increased the amount the Caliphate will be paid.
 * Istoias continues sending supplies to Sweden. They expand further along the west coast of Madagascar.
 * Korea continues to build up their military, as well as industrialize more. They request Hawaii back from whoever took it from them, as they would like it as a strategic trading post. They are willing to pay good money for it, as well as economic and trade relations.
 * Neue Brandenburg sends troops for the final push against the Russians, putting all soldiers in Europe under the control of the Finnish government. Some are appaled at fighting against fellow socialists, but most are concerned only with national patriotism. Meanwhile, the coalition is reformed as the collectivists leave, becoming the official opposition, replacing the Mesharyakovists. President Georg Richter keeps power because the Beauharnists and the Royalists still have enough power in the Volkstag for a majority. King Wilhelm III lends his support to the coalition. Finally, Neue Wilhelmsburg expands by 500 sq km, and Neue Brandenburg itself by 10,000 sq km.
 * Persia's New Tehran colony expands 100x100 sq mi west. New Persia expands by 100x100 sq mi south. New Isafan continues to expand by 100x100 sq mi north. Persia is forced to drop out of the war between Vietnam and France-Russia. They ask Vietnam to return to peace. Persia will keep Naples' South American colony, but will return its colony to the country.
 * The Szent András' government recognizes Labrador, which does the same to the Szent András' government. Later on the year, Imre tries to arrange a royal marriage for his son, also called Imre, with the daughter of the King of Labrador, and has success on this. A bit later on the year, the self-proclaimed president of Newfoundland (the governor of Ungava who formed a provisional government there) dies, and no successor is elected. Imre takes advantage of the situation, and sends his army to Kuujjuarapik. since after the French left, most of the army who still was there deserted, the Szent András army finds little to no resistance.However, by December, they did not reached Kuujjuarapik, only reaching Akulivik. The winter also slows them down.
 * Hungary continues to update its military. The railways continue to be built, and they try to re-establish relations with Italy. Dél-Afrika expands 11500 sq km. The Serbian separatist movement continues to gain supporters.
 * Egypt updates its military. It annexes two unoccupied islands near the coasts of Arabia and Ethiopia.
 * Uruguay expands 5500 sq km.
 * Sweden refuses to give away their central communications centre in the Pacific but allows Korea to use the Hawaiian ports for free. Sweden pushes the now demoralized and hungry Russian army back though Finland with a string of victories against the poorly supplied Russians. Repair crews quickly follow the main Swedish army rebuilding the Umea-Helsinki coastal railroad. At the end of the year the Swedes retake Helsinki and reclaim Finland for the Swedish crown. The Swedes plan to annex and rebuild war-ravaged Finland unless there is significant international outcry but notify the world that Finland is a war-torn nation with over a third of the population killed in the war. Sweden will also promise to grant Finland independence within 50 years if they annex the nation. Swedish troops, reinforced and reequipped prepare to take the battle into Russia. Meanwhile in the Pacific, the Fjordian armies land in Amur and attack Vladovostok; having trained at the summits of the Andes these soldiers are able to deal with the Russian winters. Smaller scale landings take the Russians by surprise in Alaska while the Swedish navy cuts off all supplies forcing the Alaskans to either starve or surrender. Asgard expands by 15250 sq km north and west while the IEC expands into Alaska. Fjordlaand withdraws from Onaguayal but their military exploits have granted them a significant land expansion northwards allowing them to border Onaguayal. Sweden gives a portion of its gold reserves to Italy to help the nation get started and rebuild. The Swedish shipyards produces more ships allowing the naval group in the Baltic Sea to venture out to attack the Russian fleet in the White Sea.
 * If you annex Finland, does that mean I no longer can play as Finland and I'm to choose another nation to play instead or can I still play Finland...?
 * Korea Response: Korea thanks Sweden for their offer, and Korean merchants immediately begin to "swamp" Hawaii, seeing this as a great opportunity to trade with Chinese Mexico and the Western Seaboard of America. Korean businesses flourish in Hawaii, with many Koreans emigrating there. Also, Korea requests that in a time of war, Korean naval forces may be stationed at Hawaii.
 * You can either play as Finland or a Finnish government in exile or as your colonial empire.
 * Sweden argees to the Korean requests.
 * China offers protection to Itsaygahi. The government is aided by Chinese diplomats, effectively becoming a Chinese vassal. The Chinese state that any attempt to take advantage of Isaygahi or its former vassals will be met with deadly force.
 * Nippon's new constitution comes into effect and the people elect a new national diet and they pick the new cabinet government of Nippon, with as the new Shogun. The new government reorganise the colonial governance, with Nippon's Australian colonial territories being merged into the colony of Gosobudan. Nippon assigns the  as the new penal colony instead of former Shuujin colony. Nippon also seizes France's trading post on on the island of Dejima in Nagasaki bay and offers it on sale to the highest bidder (note Sweden and Finland can't buy it as they already have trading posts in Nippon & when I say its for sale I mean as a trading post).
 * Brunei expands south as dose the Dayak Federation. Many Bruneians immigrate to the new territores and Mauritius expands. The Bruneian Merchants Guild opens up many new trade routes and begins to use faster ships. Brunei begins to rebuild and expand the Dockyards at Singapore to make trade through the Malacca Strait smother.
 * The Vietnamese officially withdraw from the Furansuchou War. The Vietnamese start negotiations with France to return the Vietnamese colony of Furansuchou to France. The Vietnamese officially declare war on the Swahili Kingdoms. The Kenians declare their support as a way to prepare with their own war with Bale.
 * The New Lithuanians expand their New Samogita colony by 38*50 sq km, and expand their New Ruthenia colony by 25*50 sq km. The New Lithuanians continue to expand their industry to repair the damage caused by the war.
 * Nippon never agreed to give New Lithuania its Satotochi colony on OTL Luzon island
 * The Taiwanese restart industrial expansion as a way to rebuild their war-torn country. The New Tainan colony expands to the mainland by 25*50 sq km. The New Taihoku colony expands by 25*50 sq km.
 * The Myanma continue to expand their military to prepare for their war with Pegu.
 * The Scots continue to expand their industry to catch up with their neighbors.
 * Finland continues to build up their military, and continue to build and improve some infrastructure and continues industrialisation. Finland also expands Hyvinkää by 400 km, expands Kōshi by 450 km, expands Käwäshiro by 400 km, and expands Moriyää by 300 km. Jaana Onozuka flees to Kazan and meets up with the older Finnish Confederation in Exile (aka the Finnish government from the Russian-Finnish Union) and joins them in exile. Kanako Björklund becomes new Shogun of Finland, however is unable to really control anything as Finland is torn to shreds. Meanwhile Kaija Tanaka (a female and Shintoist) takes power in Kōshi as governor. Seeing as Finland is completely in ruins, she officially and peacefully declares Kōshi independent, as the Shogunate of Kōshi. Kaija Tanaka establishes herself as Empress and Helmiina Konpaku (female and Finnish Paganist) is appointed Shogun of Kōshi. Soon finding out about it, Kanako Björklund, as well as the Republic of Kazami, recognises the independence of Shogunate of Kōshi, and wishes good luck to them. As the New Empress, Kaija Tanaka asks for an alliance and trade agreement with the Republic of Kazami, Commonwealth of Eetoria and Ngainkeha, and Nippon; Republic of Kazami accepts both the alliance and trade agreement with Shogunate of Kōshi. Lastly, Kanako Björklund allows Sweden to be able to annex Finland.
 * Nippon accepts the alliance and trade deal
 * The Commonwealth of Eetoria and Ngainkeha accept the Shogunate of Kōshi's offer and forms an alliance & trade deal with them. All of the commonwealth's troops have returned home by now, and they are given large plots of land in the frontier territories as part of their war bonus pay. This causes the commonwealth to expand inland, as many of the returning soldiers start up ranches and farms in the frontier. Other soliders sell their land to make a quick buck.
 * Nouvelle-Normandie expands 17250 sq km. The Triumvirate calls for the first elections for a President of the Republic, but the result will be shown the next year as the Triumvirate has a lot of work to do yet. Trochu starts his personal campaign against I Figli di Dio in Songhay. They demand Nippon to give them back the long-held trading posts, with a huge (relatively, being the greatest in the French outposts) French population.
 * Bharat's cities and surrounding areas continue to boom, but a survey is launched to see what living conditions in the cities of Bharat are when rumours fly about of the unhumane conditions of factories. Work on the official "parliamentary building" finishes stage 3, and the parliament is ready for opening. The opening ceremony of the parliament is extravegent and the parliament is opened with a huge celebration. The mahajhapanas now move into the parliament to discuss matters of nation and international interest and the first declaration from parliament is to build more naval ships. Factories churn out steam warships and ironclads to build up its naval fleet and by the end of this year manage to increase it to 85% of the pre-war size. The factories will again be re-equipted but it would now be for more civilian purposes. Work on a top-secret naval project begins, and will be completed in a few years. The mahajhapanas continue funding pro-Bharati elements in the Persian government hoping to topple over their King, while they try to convince the King to go into a dynastic union with them. They also send in more secretly armed missionaries and funding Hindus trying to convert Muslims in Persia increases dramatically. Around half of eastern Persia is now Hindu, while western Persians are start to become slightly less fundamentalist due to influenced from Bharat. The army begins to train using new techniques and the army practices in war games. More factory and road construction continues to get the populace working and to help the economy pick up from the war, even though the cities are doing well.
 * Naya Bharat expands 3500 km northward on Persia's Australian colonial border. Many industrial factories are completed this year, due to the help from disbanded troops. The studies on the aboriginals have proven conclusive and it is found that to strengthen the mental aspect of the aboriginals, they need to be guided from birth. The explorers also realize that the aboriginals are not innoculated to protect them from smallpox and begin innoculation programs. They hope to achive two things, to protect the aboriginal population as well as earn their trust. They also begin to dissuade the leaders of aboriginal tribes not to send teens on the walkabout and have them do another task so that they would not die in so large numbers.
 * Hindustan expands 7000 km northward and inward. The population continue to build factories with their bare hands and migration from the main settlements has increased, helping the colony expand more, and fertile land is farmed. Hindustan also send supporting expiditions alongside the ones sent by Naya Bharat and team up. They focus on helping many tribes come together into small tribal unions and fund these endevours. So far, they have only managed to convince three tribes to merge into one.
 * Onguayal expands 4750 km north-east and takes up more land over the Russian colony. They continue work on their army and expand it, and with the war against them over they patrol the country to keep it stablized. These patrols will overtime be reduced as the country grows stablily and economically. With more funding from Bharat, their industrialization program continues to catch up with the major world powers. The Onguayalis open a dialogue with Manoa to help them avoid the same fate as Onguayal suffered before the Bharatis stablized them. They convice the Manoians to allow Onguayali advisors into their government to lead them in the right direction, and in turn will be funded by the Bharatis to expand their industry so Bharat could get products at cheaper prices than anywhere else and seel it for a profit.
 * Haiti starts a civil war, as the three members of the Triumvirate try to take the power. Some isloquean politicians, seeing that Haiti is in trouble, send help to restore the order.
 * Malouinas sells Nouvelle-Patagonie to the Caliphate as they need to recover form the recent war. They would like to re-establish relations with the anti-mesheryakovist faction's countries.
 * Belcher continues his isolationist politics. In Nouvelle-Armagnac, the first huge rebellion starts.
 * Algeria expands 17250 sq km. The Caliph insists Persia to accept a royal marriage that would obviously benefit both sides. As chaos reign in Itsaygahi, the abandoned I Figli di Dio's branch, now called Tsuginisi Edoda, becomes a powerful organization in the state that is nwo independent on OTL Florida.
 * Persian Response: It agrees.

1876
The last chaotic remnants of the North Swahili Kingdom dissolves, and nothing remains but ruins. UGS is the small state]]Sweden delivers crushing blows to the Russian White and Black Sea fleets destroying both simultaneously whilst ensuring the Swedish fleets received minimal damage. The Swedish army is able to take Vilnius and St Petersburg in two separate battles against the weakened Russian army and with the help of a large bombardment of St Petersburg's defences before the battle and finally offers to negotiate with the Russians and the French. Sweden demands from France, the port of Calais and the surrounding area to increase the ease of use for the English Channel link from Dover; and also that Russia cease all claims to Alaska, the Aleutians and OTL British Colombia and hand over their lands there in return for a payment of 5 million rubles and Franz Josef Land. Meanwhile, the Baltic Alliance wishes to include their Lithuanian breatheren and to do so start to spread nationalist fevour in Lithuania. Asgard expands 15250 sq km west and north and the IEC expands further into Alaska. Sweden starts to build its navy back to its former glory. With the end of the war coming, Sweden turns her attention to the continued raids into Sweden, Hanover and Flemland by bandits from Brandenburg. Emperor Frederick I in a surprise move changes the administrative borders of Sweden and annexes Finland, parts of Flemland, and Hanover into Sweden; combining the remanents of the two states into one new puppet state granting the people larger amounts of autonomy. The new puppet state is called the United States of Germany and in its constitution the USG promises to do whatever it can to unite Germany and bring it to the glory days of the former AGC. They start this by annexing a sliver off Western Brandenburg. The IEC is uped to vassal status due to the demands by the Swedish colonists for closer ties to their mother nation.
 * The Vietnamese continue their war against the South Swahili Kindom, and the veteran Vietnamese soldiers have won quite a few victories against the primarily tribal South Swahili forces. The Vietnamese sell their Furansuchou colony back to France, and they sell their Morocco colony to Scotland. The Kenians have given their support to the Vietnamese, but have limited that support to supplies and volunteers due to cultural connection they have with the South Swahili Kingdom. The Kenians mount an expedition to the former capital of the North Swahili Kingdom, where they recover such important cultural relics such as the King's crown and the throne. These relics are enshrined in Mogadishu's most important museum. The Kenians continue to expand their military to prepare for the upcoming war with Bale.
 * The New Lithuanians continue expanding their industry. The New Lithuanians expand their New Samogita colony by 38*50 sq km. The New Lithuanians expand their New Ruthenia colony by 25*50 sq km.
 * Nippon gave no territory to Vietnam.
 * The Taiwanese continue to expand their industry to repair the damage caused by the war. The Taiwanese expand their New Tainan colony by 25*50 sq km. The Taiwanese expand their New Taihoku colony by 25*50 sq km.
 * The Myanma continue to expand their military to prepare for the upcoming war with Pegu. The Myanma continue expanding their industry to facilitate their military expansion.
 * The Scots continue to expand their industry to catch up with their neighbors. The Scots rename their new colony Nova Scotia, and expand it by 8*50 sq km.
 * Persia's New Tehran colony expands 100x100 sq mi west. New Persia expands by 100x100 sq mi southeast. New Isafan continues to expand by 100x100 sq mi north. They begin the union with Algeria.
 * 2047 colonists, born in Britain, have signed themselves up to colonise and create a new nation in north-western Australia. They ask for Sweden to give them supplies and weapons needed to kill rival natives in the area. In exchange, they would agree to make a formal alliance with Sweden and will share 10% of taxes with them.
 * Sweden will give only supplies and encourage the colonist to find a peaceful route with the natives.
 * Colonists agree and thank Sweden for the supplies. The colonists decided to call themselves Australians, in the name of John Austraman, who has started the movement. Australian colonists buy a small weapons factory in London and begin producing weapons for the possible war against Oceanian natives.
 * The Bharatis are right now helping innoculate aboriginals and are finding peaceful ways on living alongside them. They will be happy to share their research and will also be happy to let Bharati immigrants enter the Australian Kingdom.
 * Australians have decided to accept the Bharatian request of letting immigrants enter the Australian Kingdom. They also offer Bharat a Research Agreement.
 * The Bharatis are happy that the Australians have agreed, and soon a string of colonists begin to set off for the Australian Kingdom. The Bharatis also agree to a Research Agreement as they have made significant progress in understanding the Aboriginals and will gladly share it with the Australians in return for their co-operation.
 * As the last member of Australian Movement leaves, at the end of the year, the weapons factory is sold and the whole community is setting off from London on a fleet of 23 transport ships and 15 defensive frigates and 5 Privateers
 * Bharat, realizing that the colonists are going to be all alone, quickly send out a much larger fleet of transport ships (around 65), accompanied by 45 war steamships and 15 ironclands to intercept the Australian Movement fleet. When they catch up with the Australian fleet, they merge with them and use their superior aggressive power to protect from any pirates who would dare attack the huge fleet containing 168 ships (that is huge).
 * The community thanks the Bharati mercenaries and gifts their leader a big bowl of fruits, gathered in southern Africa. After a short break, they continue the mission and by the end of December, they reach Indian peninsula, where they rest before moving on to Australia. Australians also buy some metal tools from local Bharati merchants.
 * The Bharati leaders gladly accept the fruit and seeing that things have got off to a great start, decide to open up a trading base in the Australian Kingdom to trade with the Kingdom.
 * Nippon after much consideration decides to sell the trading post on the island of Dejima in Nagasaki bay back to France, this is because France used to be a major trading partner of Nippon, and Nippon needs the trade revenue; this coupled with no other nations showing an interest in the trading post. There is however still a lot of public hostility towards France, as a lot of Nipponese blame France for corrupting Shogun Iemochi with their evil western Mesharyakovist ideologies. Nippon continues to rebuild and this includes rebuilding the Nipponese armed forces back to their former glory. Colonial expansion begins once again too, with Papua Nipponia expanding 3,000 sq km in OTL New Britain and those two islands off the coast of OTL New Britain.
 * Finland continues to build up their military, and continue to build and improve some infrastructure and continues industrialisation. Finland also expands Hyvinkää by 400 km, expands Käwäshiro by 450 km, and expands Moriyää by 400 km. Kanako Björklund begins plans on rebuilding Finland. Soon, all Shinto Shrines, and buildings, are being repaired as well as the rail-ways. A few more Shinto Shrines are built in Finnish colonies. Meanwhile in the Republic of Kazami their economy is improved some. An election is held in the Republic of Kazami and soon, Yuuka Järvenpää (Democratic, Female, Shintoist) is elected as Prime Minister of Republic of Kazami.
 * Shogunate of Kōshi continues expanding. Empress Kaija Tanaka orders more buildings be built and more Shinto Shrines are built too. Meanwhile Shogun Helmiina Konpaku establishes Reiuzi as the political capital of Shogunate of Kōshi while Harjavalta is the imperial capital (read: where the Empress lives and rules) of Shogunate of Kōshi. Some more steam-powered ships are built and industrialisation continues. Shogunate of Kōshi's scientists begin research of electrical stuff. A designer creates a flag and coat of arms is also made for the Shogunate of Kōshi as well, and it is accepted by both Empress Kaija Tanaka and Shogun Helmiina Konpaku and makes it official.
 * [[File:Swedish_gains.png|frame|Red is Swedish gains
 * You can't take any territory from this war with the other player's agreement. We agreed to withdraw any territorial claims.
 * Sweden needs Calais as a port for easier connections to England. I originally wanted the Baltic Alliance to include all three East Baltic States. In regards to Alaska; I was there first, your treaty is invalid as Sweden was not invited until the very end where they could no longer influence the decision, I should get the territory.
 * Just let Scand have the territory. Sweden has legitimate claims, and as one of the winners he has a right to some form of compensation. I only agreed to leave empty-handed because my claims were shot down and the losers didn't relly have anything I wanted. Also, I don't think you should use a treaty Sweden didn't really attend as an excuse to deny him his compensation.
 * He also can't just defeat the Black Sea fleet. To get to them, he has to pass through a small passage that leads to teh black sea(they werent mobilized yet), and he would need icebreakers (a tech that Russia only effectively uses). Also, St Petersburg is the capital and most fortified city in Russia, I doubt he would take it that easily. And I thought that after this pseudo-Napoleonic war, everything was to return to status quo ante bellum, wasn't it?
 * Sweden also uses icebreakers effectively. If you simply look at their colonies many are in hard to reach places unless icebreakers are employed. True, Sweden doesn't beat Russia with icebreaking tech but  they sure come damn close. St Petersburg may be fortified but a Russian army that has just had to retreat through Finland in the winter months with poor food supply due to scorched earth would be demoralized added to that is the fact that the entire coalition just fell apart and Russia is the last collectivist nation remaining. Status quo ante bellum was only for the Vietnamese who as Yank said the coalition had nothing Vietnam wanted and all other claims were shot down.
 * I repeat, we agreed to not take territory. I lost on purpose, I don't think I should pay anything for that, as your countries never were in real danger. If you wanna some territory, you should have told me and may be I have accepted, I have no use for that territory, but it is culturally French and an annexation wouldn't work.
 * I did tell you and the English did hold it for quite a while.
 * Sweden cannot take any territory unless Lx agrees. The algorithm was between France and Vietnam, thus, only France could lose any territory
 * Thank you very much... and do you really think that all of Russia's military was in Finland? Russia has trains, much faster transport of supplies and troops within the Russian motherland.
 * The Commonwealth of Eetoria and Ngainkeha are shocked at the treatment of the natives in other parts of OTL Australia. The Commonwealth condemns any mistreatment of the natives, and welcomes any natives into Eetoria to start a new life free from racism. The Eetoria part of the commonwealth expands a lot because of this influx of natives joining Eetorian society. The Ngainkeha part of the commonwealth expands too, but not as much.
 * Bharat tells the Commonwealth that they have dissuaded the minds of the colonists from attacking the natives and they all are safe. They also offer to share research with the Commonwealth about what they find out. All the research done was humane and was done with volunteers.
 * The Commonwealth agrees, and invites Bharat to join the Universities of the Pacific Rim Cooperation Group.
 * Bharat, although not next to the Pacific, agrees as they think this will be a good move (is this for education purposes or alliance purposes, or both?).
 * The Universities of the Pacific Rim Cooperation Group is a group of universities which share research with one another, and help each other in research; so just education purposes.
 * The USA expands southwards, as more plantations are set up and more logging takes place. The USA promotes equality of the races throughout the world, and changes the nation's moto to: "All men born, living, and dying equally". The pan-Panama railway plan is finally finished too, after 38 years of construction, and set backs. Nippon is given free use of the railway as they constructed most of it, and the USA promotes it as the premier way to transport goods from the Atlantic to the Pacific.
 * The Sultanate of Sokotara declares the war in OTL Somalia to be jihad, and this fires up the morale of Sokotaran troops and the expansion quickens.
 * After more months, the Szent András troops reach Kuujjuarapik. after that, the Szent András government annexes Ungava. Meanwhile, Newfoundland works on its economy. They ask Labrador to grant their armies military access.
 * Labrador accepts the Newfoundlandian offer.
 * The Serbian separatist movement grows, and a similar movement, inspired on the Serbian one, appears on Albania. Meanwhile, the Zeng-Ragusa railway continues to be built, along with the Budapest-Kolozkvár one. Meanwhile, in Greece, gas lamps are installed on Trebizond. Magyar Dél-Amerikaban expands 11500 sq km. The military is updated.
 * Egypt updates its military. The economy grows.
 * Uruguay expands 6000 sq km. The industry grows.
 * Bruneian industries grow and cities flourish as the economy improves. Infrastructure is improved focusing on the ports and rail systems. Brunei expands south and the Mauritius colony expands.
 * Akon expands 17250 sq km. Blanqui is elected as the first President of the Republic, and his first actions are in order to recover the country from the long war recently ended. He denies to give Calais to the swedish and asks the neighboor countries to help him to avoid Sweden to take adventadge from the current situation of France.
 * Tha member of the haitian Triumvirate are in civil war. A isloquian politician called Edwin Symonette, from english origins (father of OTL Roland Theodore Symonette) takes control of the government of his country by popular vote. He starts a campaign to set Haiti free from the Triumvirat and other usurpers.
 * Malouinas is now ruled by an oligarchy of conservatives.
 * Belcher dies fighting the rebellion of Nouvelle-Armagnac. The country is declared a monarchy, the Tsardom of Nouvelle-Armagnac, being his tsar elected between the leaders of the rebellion (OTL Lemuel Owen is elected).
 * Algeria expands 17250 sq km. As they Shah has die and the union begins (at least that's what i understood from your response), the caliphal police starts occupating the persian territories. More restrictive politics are taken to avoid the Hinduuist missionaries. I Figli di Dio's branch in Persia becomes a secret police for the Caliphate. The Caliphate supports Sokotara's invasion on Somalia. Tsuginisi Edoda grows and becomes the most powrful organization in OTL Florida.
 * In China, the Dragon Gun, identical to the OTL Gatling Gun, is invented. It is heavily manufactured in the Chinese military, effectively upgrading its military. Meanwhile, China demands that Algeria immediately stops funding Tsuginisi Edoda as the area, as is the former Itsaygahi North American territory, are vassals to the Chinese empire.
 * All of its so fast??? That's a little implausable - maybe one or two of the states but not the entire thing.
 * Sweden invented the Gatling gun a few years previously.
 * The country is the Arabian Caliphate, Algeria is a colony. Also, the criminal organization isn't funded by the Caliphate, as the government left I Figli di Dio to be independent and I Figli di Dio left the itsaygahian branch for consider them weak. Also, many itsaygahian are Muslim, myself and other countries have sent missionaries for many years. I have more historical influence than China.
 * Bharat's survey of conditions is factory is reported. It states that working conditions are very bad in factories and children as young as five are being forced to work. It also states that houses in which the populace live in are jam-packed and more flats need to be built to accommodate more people. With this in mind, laws are passed which prohibit children younger than 12 working and the construction of more schools to send children to educate them. As well as this, contractors begin building buildings higher and higer than ever before to accomadate more people and earn more of a profit.

A huge railroad construction project is started to connect Manoa with Onguayal, but this is overshadowed when Bharati troops arrive on the asking of the government. It becomes clear why, when troops suddenly cross the border into the Russian colony and invade it to capture it for the country.

 * You can't be in a personal union with both countries, it's contradictory.
 * RWG, are you sure that you know what personal union means? Also, Persia would have lost almost as much money in the war as Russia.
 * Why? First of all, why can't I be in a union with more than one country? second of all, I am buying it for just in the few millions zone.
 * Just a royal marriage is not enough to form a personal union. From Wikipedia; "Personal unions can arise for very different reasons, ranging from coincidence (a Princess who is already married to a King becomes queen regnant, and their child inherits the crown of both countries) to virtual annexation (where a personal union sometimes was seen as a means of preventing uprisings). They can also be codified (i.e., the constitutions of the states clearly express that they shall share the same person as head of state) or non-codified, in which case they can easily be broken (e.g., by the death of the monarch when the two states have different succession laws)."
 * Bharat's leader is too young to marry, and they would not join with Arabia. Furthermore, just because they are in dynastic union doesn't mean they are the same nation.

This is due to the growing anti-western sentiment in Nippon, and the growing desire for the west to impersonate the east. The military continues to be reorganised and built, and new military bases are built throughout the empire. The former Shuujin colony also separates itself from Gosobudan colony after a plebiscite showed the Shuujin colonists believed the colonial government in Gosobudan were acting only with the interests of Gosobudan in mind.

 * The USA agrees to a military alliance, and 1,000 troops are sent to Australia. Hardly any migrating citizens join them as land is still abundant in the USA, and most of the citizens don't want to leave their families behind on the other side of the world.
 * Australia sends salutations to USA, and offers them a design of the G2 handgun, which shoots a small pistol arrow (the design of which is also included in the schematics) accurately within a range of 20 meters.

1878
Prussia's government collapses due to the government's inactivity. It is divided into a western, Polish, Hussite portion, which is swayed by the Russian propaganda and wishes to join with the Polish confederation, and an eastern, German, Schmittist portion, which is very independent. Parts of the Brandenburgian chaos which are Polish join with the Polish portion. The Prussian colony that borders Neue Brandenburg, as it is mostly German, asks to join up with it. The rest of the Prussian colonies remain under the independent Prussian government. At the same time, Berlin, which is opposed to the Swedish power in Germany, expands, as does Silesia.

What would be the capital of that Area of Poland? is the city of Gorzow in that area? or Zeleni Gora?

The Beauharnists call an election and win easily, giving them a huge mandate to office. The Mesharyakovists and the Collectivists form a united opposition, with the Royalists becoming less and less powerful as Wilhelm III seems to descend into insanity. The nation sends diplomatic tendrils out to various countries around the world, and asks for more formal re-alliances with Finland, Nippon, France, Bharat, and Russia, in the new global world order. The nation expands west by 10,000 sq km. Finally, Neue Brandenburg sends a touring cricket team to Bharat, and although winning five (it seems likely), they unexpectadely lose one by a single wicket, prompting celebrations in Bharat.
 * Bharat vows revenge, and sends its Australian cricket team to tour (results will come next year). Bharat also accepts the re-alliance. It also suggests Neue Brandenburg to establish 2 colonies as it would expand its influence (I am pretty sure Germany can be re-colonized!!)
 * Finland is now a part of Sweden.
 * I thought Finland's colonies were still semi-independant...In that case, I offer Sweden an alliance (although I will stay neutral in any Russo-Swedish War).
 * Nippon accepts.
 * Persia's New Tehran colony expands 100x100 sq mi west. New Persia expands by 100x100 sq mi east. New Isafan continues to expand by 100x100 sq mi north. The Persians begin researching on Gatling guns, steam engines, revolvers, pictography, and all other stuff nations like China, Russia, France, Sweden, and Vietnam are researching. They ask Baharat to establish a dynastical union with the country. They also tell it that the Caliphate is now part of Persia.


 * The Caliphate didn't said nothing about this. This does not mean that they accepted.
 * What do you not understand about dynastic unions not making the two nations one country? Are you ignoring me? And it is impossible to have multiple dynastic unions at once, especially with Bharat, since their leader is too young to marry.
 * The Caliphate isn't a part of Persia, they're just in a dynastic union. Beside, as I'm the leader of such dynastic union, just I can decide if we enter in another one. You can't unite with Bharat as they're enemies of the Caliphate. Bharat and the Caliphate have been competing about the religion of your country in the last decades, and you didn't even pay atention. You just put "Persia iniciates the union with the Caliphate", so I interpreted your Shah died and the throne was inherited by the Caliph. Then you, who are in union with a fundamentalist Muslim state, and are a fundamentalist Muslim state yourself, tried to starta union with Bharat, a Hinduist state that has been fighting for transform your country into Hinduism. As I'm both Caliph and Shah just I can arrange the royal marriages.
 * To make it honest, the "Caliphate" is referring to as Algeria, the nation who requested the union. I will cancel my union with Bharat as it is now implausible.
 * Algeria is owned by the Arabian caliphate, it's a colony.
 * Sweden helps the IEC expand into Alaska and the UGS into Brandenburg. Sweden continues the reconstruction of Finland and North Sweden. Sweden repairs its navy and expands New Sweden to the northwest by 15250 sq km.
 * Finland continues to build and improve some infrastructure and continues industrialisation. Finland also expands Hyvinkää by 650 km, expands Käwäshiro by 700 km, and expands Moriyää by 650 km. Repairing continues and Shinto shrines are rebuilt as well. The daughter who draws the Suomi-neito dies. Raili Suzuki, who is currently living in the Finnish colony of Hyvinkää, begins to teach her younger daughter, Mikaela Suzuki (born 1859) in drawing the Suomi-neito as well as becoming the new successor of drawing it when Raili Suzuki dies. Meanwhile, Kanako Björklund decides to give Shogunate of Kōshi control of the Republic of Kazami.
 * Shogunate of Kōshi continues expanding and continues building infrastructure and continues industrialisation. Empress Kaija Tanaka accepts Kanako Björklund's request and is now Empress of both the Shogunate of Kōshi and the Republic of Kazami. Though while she does not really control the Republic of Kazami, Empress Kaija Tanaka will be sure to keep it in check. Prime Minister Yuuka Järvenpää of Republic of Kazami itself accepts the switch from a Finnish puppet to a Shogunate of Kōshi puppet. Meanwhile, Shogun Helmiina Konpaku asks Neue Brandenburg for an alliance. The Shogunate of Kōshi's scientists manage to create a light bulb, but it doesn't work really, so they re-try again and continue to research it into it more. Empress Kaija Tanaka also sends a few military and supplies to help Bharat in their war in the French South America Colony.
 * More Itsaygahi states are vassalized by China. To effectively govern the area, China turns Itsaygahi into a large vassal divided by closely knit states. Meanwhile, the Dragon Gun is massively produced in the military. They are attached to swivels and installed on ships.
 * Nippon continues to rebuild its military, and re-arms the military with the latest weaponry like rifles, revolvers, Gatling guns and breech-loading artillery. First rate size, propeller-driven, steel battleships are built which are commissioned into the INN too. Nippon's military is now 90% of pre-war levels, but its now more technologically advanced. Nippon requests trading posts from France & Sweden again. Meanwhile Nippon begins to make its pressence felt in its new Finnish trading post of Uunisaaret, by building lots of Nipponese style buildings and a large harbour too. A Nippoense scientist invents a prototype telephone too, and shows it off at the first world fair in Edo. Otherwise Papua Nipponia expands by (5*1,000) 5,000 sq km into central OTL New Guinea, Gosobudan expands (5*1,000) 5,000 sq km so the two parts of the colony are joined together, and Shuujin expands 1,000 sq km in the Tiwi Islands.
 * The Commonwealth of Eetoria and Ngainkeha expands to the south west
 * The Sultanate of Sokotara's jihad continues in Somalia, and the expansion continues.
 * The USA expands southwards and offers to buy Nippon's old military hardware which is being replaced at the moment.
 * Nippon agrees to sell the old military hardware to the USA, as it saves Nippon simply throwing the hardware away.
 * Sunda builds more mosques in the country to convert more of the populace to Islam, and they also build up their navy scared of the expansion of Italian influence in the area. They offer an alliance to Brunei to protect each other's interests against the expansionist Italians.
 * Brunei agrees to an alliance
 * Korea continues to build up their military, as well as industrialize. Also, the incandescent light bulb, which had been development for some time by the Korean development, is finally released to be public in the First Korean Inventions Fair. Many other inventions are displayed there, such as the rebreather, Serial photomontage, and more. They request to renew the Korean-Russian technology sharing deal, and requests to extend the deal to Nippon.
 * Italy has by now recovered from the war entirely. They expand Pahang another 4000 square kilometers onto Borneo. The Mayan rulers of the puppet states, meanwhile, whose religion has been in a state of flux, with Christianity, Buddhism, and Islam competing, with remnants of the Mayan religion remaining, become Catholic, but of their own rite, called the Mayan rite.
 * In Ricasolia, the new authoritarian government begins the steps of industrialization, as Ricasolia is incredibly far behind the other nations. The Ricasolian people protest this movement, as many are uprooted from their old lives. Ovelli has many of the protestors killed, and remains in power. I'm planning for Ovelli to be like Gaddafi or someone, and be in power for a long time, so don't think I'm trying to start a war.
 * Istoias builds up its infrastructure due to all of their expansion recently. The infrastructure build up is primarily on the western side of the island, as that is where they have been expanding.
 * Israel builds up its military even more. They conduct another census, with the religion of the nation now being 75% Jewish, 15% Syriac Christian, 4% Druze, 2% Muslim, and 4% other. The Israelis raise the price they would pay to the Caliphate to be able to gain some more land to the south.
 * Dravidia expands their Kongo colony by 5600 more square kilometers. Meanwhile, they make a new colony on the OTL Kerguelen Islands (that large unclaimed island in the very south of the Indian Ocean), which they name New Vijayanagara. They start helping the Bharatis send missionaries into Persia.
 * Nouvelle-Normandie is expanded 17250 sq km. Blanqui now puts effort to improve the French industrial economy, specially in the ports. The request of Nippon is accepted, and the French people born in the trading outposts of Japan returns to their homes to keep working in their commercial business.
 * Haiti is still under Isloquian occupation.
 * The NewFrench Creole becomes the official language of the Tsardom of Nouvelle-Armagnac. Is a romance language derived from French with influences from the Russian that eventually created an independent language. It's also influenced by the hHngarian (Újfundlandi), Italian, Venetian (Isloque and Ricasolia) and vietnamese (Vietnam's colonies and Tsardom of Kanada). It uses the Latin alphabet. The new name of the tsardom in NewFrench Creole is Zaravo du Nova-Armannak.
 * Malouias keeps growing economically and industrialy.
 * Algeria and Libia expand 17250 sq km. In Itsaygahi, Asim Asghar Almasi (I changed the name for reasons that can be found in my talkpage) overthrows the current government and declares himself Emir of the Faithful, and Sultan of (Florida? What's the name of that state?).
 * Bharat's factories continue churning out more civilian materials, like clothes and iron and steel to build buildings and other factories while ship production continues at pre-war levels. Work on a top-secret naval project continues, work on the base of the ships finishes while its main guns continue construction. Bharat produces its own version of the Chinese Dragon gun, calling it the Angry Tiger Gun, and begin to produce it while the army continues to train using new techniques and through war games. The Angry Tiger manages to get to the front in Onguayal and dominates the enemy, killing them in the 1000s. As well as this, contractors begin building buildings higher and higer than ever before to accomadate more people and earn more of a profit. The mahajhapanas send in more secretly armed missionaries and fund Hindus trying to convert Muslims in Persia. More factory and road construction continues to get the populace working and to help the economy pick up from the war, even though the cities are doing well. More railroads continue to be laid in the eastern vassals of Bharat, and most railroad projects are almost complete. The war against the French South American colony continues, with all of Bharati vassals and naval fleet.
 * Naya Bharat expands 10750 km toward the interior. More factory construction continues and products are sold to Bharat for a profit. The Naya Bharati cricket team works and trains hard to become the best in the sport and their tour of Hindustan went well, they won 4-1. They then head to Neue Brandenburg to tour the country and hopefully win. More aboriginals are innoculated, and the innoculation programs continue. Naya Bharat continues helping many tribes come together into one state between their colony and the Australian Kingdom, and manage to persuade three tribes to merge with the one major tribe, increasing the total to 17.
 * Hindustan expands 10500 km northward and southward (not in the centre). The population continue to build factories with their bare hands and more fishing boats go out to the sea. They continue helping tribes come together into one state, and two tribes merge with the one major tribe, increasing the total to 20.
 * Onguayal work on their army and expand it, and direct troops against the French forces in their colony. With more funding from Bharat, their industrialization program continues to catch up with the major world powers. The Onguayalis continue the railroad construction project, which is connecting Manoa with Onguayal. The war against the French colony seems to be going very well and with Bharati and Manoan troops they seem to be winning on the front. The troops manage to capture the colonial capital and are heading towards the coast to destroy the remaining bulk of the French army.
 * The Russian Government, Hearing of this new type of Gun developed by Vietnam, Decide to grant anyone who manages to develop a better or equivalent weapon 250,000 rubles. The Weapons race starts, with a new compagny, izhmash, is founded by a former government-employed weaponsmith that is seeking fortune. South Novorossiya expands by 15,000. Russia gives some support to the French, although most money and effort is made to reconstruct devastated areas by war, Alaska expands to encompass one-half of the remaining coastline in a gold rush. An election is scheduled for next year, about ten electoral districts are added in the new part of the Polish Union, bringing the total of Russian Duma representatives to 511.
 * Novorossiya gives limited military aid to the French (so does South Africa), and works on fortifying the Russian North Atlantic Fleet. In the recent elections, the Industrialists lose and the Socialists make a new charter of rights, where the rights to form a labour union are recognized.
 * South Africa works on fortifying the Southern Atlantic-Indian Fleet (The 2nd, 5th, and 6th colonial fleets). Socialists lose to the October Party, a Center-Right Party.

1880
{C}

Minor earthquakes start to shake Sumatra and Java at irregular intervals.

Pegu collapses into civil disorder after the collapse of their government.

Minor revolts occur in Kazakhstan with parts of the population demanding independence while others advocate a union with Persia.

Manoa and the Ge empires expand rapidly with ll three almost doubling in size. As a result the less stable nation of North Ge collapses into civil disorder.

Breslau and Berlin are forced into civil disorder with Brandenburgan raids disrupting public services and the effectiveness of their governments. Berlin is reannexed into Brandenburg.

What's the point of introducing Berlin and Silesia if they are just going to be swallowed up in the chaos again?


 * I agree, those two nations just became organized and are going to have strong support. To me this seems like yet another instance of Scandinator using moderator events to promote his own nation, this time his German confederacy thing.

They doubled in size and have been nations for barely any time. A player nation would be hit by revolts or some loss in territory at this point.


 * All of Ethiopia was stabilized in a single year after being in civil disarray, by you, a century or so ago. Having stabilization of the civil disarray occur at a limited rate is more plausible. The fact that it has remained in chaos for so long is implausible, and the fact that having it in disarray benefits your nation is undeniable. But, if you would prefer that I simply post "all of Germany in civil disarray unites as one nation in one year", I will do that instead.

BTW, Manoa is a vassal of Onguayal. Just saying (because this will make my task of laying down railroads connecting both countries much harder).


 * The Vietnamese continue their war against the South Swahili Kingdom. The new rifles give the Vietnamese soldiers another advantage against the tribal South Swahili forces.
 * The New Lithuanians continue expanding their industry. The New Lithuanians expand their New Samogita colony by 38*50 sq km. The New Lithuanians expand their New Ruthenia colony by 25*50 sq km.
 * The Taiwanese continue to expand their industry to repair the damage caused by the war. The Taiwanese expand their New Tainan colony by 25*50 sq km. The Taiwanese expand their New Taihoku colony by 25*50 sq km.
 * The Myanma continue to expand their military to prepare for the upcoming war with Pegu. The Myanma continue expanding their industry to facilitate their military expansion.
 * The Scots continue to expand their industry to catch up with their neighbors. The Scots rename their new colony Nova Scotia, and expand it by 8*50 sq km.
 * Persia's New Tehran colony expands 100x100 sq m. west. New Persia expands by 100x100 sq mi east. New Isafan continues to expand by 100x100 sq mi north. The Persians continue their research of new military and non-military technologies. They manage to create their models of Gatling guns, revolvers and other stuff other nations have been making. With Caplihate anti-Hindu and now part of a union with Persia, it is forced to cancel any possibilities of a union with Bharat. They ask Russia to give Persia Kazakhstan due to pro-Persian riots there.
 * Italy sells a small portion of land (15 pixels) on the western half of their border with the Helvetic Confederation/Switzerland to the Swiss. In return, the Swiss become a vassal of the Italians. Meanwhile, Italy continues to industrialize. Pahang is not expanded, as it needs to be rebuilt after the earthquake.
 * Dravida expands Kongo by 6000 square kilometers. They send aid to help the Bharatis in their war in South America. They advise the Bharatis to do as they did with the Kongolese and incorporate the Onguayalese beliefs into Hinduism.
 * Bharat sees that this is a good idea and will send missionaries next year to incorporate Onguayalese beliefs into Hinduism.
 * Brunei expands south and upgrades the military
 * Neue Brandenburg accept the Koshi alliance, as well as offering one to Sweden (on the condition that they would stay neutral in a Russo-Swedish conflict). Neue Brandenburg also begins to develop their military technology, especially naval. They ask for a technology exchange with the Nipponese (well, more of a technology-resources exchange). Also, the President orders that all native children be brought to secular state schools, after which they will be able to vote and be full citizens. This angers activists who say this will destroy native culture. Finally, the country expands west by 10,000 sq km.
 * Nippon accepts
 * Australian Kingdom expands east by the coastline 10,000 sq km and 8,000 new citizens arrive from Bharat, with 500 of citizens coming from Britain. The first Christian church is built in New London. While the newly founded town is called "New Australia".
 * Uruguay expands 10,000 sq km. The industry expands.
 * Egypt updates its military.
 * Hungary updates its military. meanwhile, the Zeng-Ragusa and Budapest-Koloszvár continue to be built. Meanwhile, In Greece, gas lamps are installed in Constantinople and Thessalonica. Rangyóra expands 11500 sq km.
 * Newfoundland resumes expansion, expanding 4000 sq km in Ungava. The military is expanded.
 * Labrador expands 4000 sq km south.
 * Nippon accepts the Korean deal, and invites Korea to join the Universities of the Pacific and Indian Oceans Cooperation Group (it's a university partnership for helping one another with research). Nippon thanks France and builds the NewFrench trading post in Marseille, on island. Nippon once again asks Sweden for a trading post. Nippon's military rebuilding programe is nearly over now, with the military at the size of the pre-war military; now is just a modernization program equiping the troops with the latest weapons. The old weapons continue to be sold to the USA to partially finance this project. Nippon's colonies continue to expand too, with Papua Nipponia expands by (5*1,200) 6,000 sq km into central OTL New Guinea, Gosobudan expands (5*1,000) 5,000 sq km and Shuujin expands 800 sq km in the Tiwi Islands.
 * Sweden accepts and grants the Nipponese an island in the Baltic Straits.
 * Nippon builds a trading post on the island of and thanks Sweden.
 * The Commonwealth of Eetoria and Ngainkeha expands inland and they manage to buy some of the new Nipponese weaponry too, which shall be equipped to the most elite troops of the commonwealth's military.
 * The USA expands southwards, and some native tribes fight back against the USA but they are easily defeated. Most of the tribes end up joining the USA as a result of seeing other tribes being defeated.
 * Sokotara's expansion continues in Somalia but Sultan Akram Akbar dies in battle after leading a cavalry charge in the Somalian jihad. As he is now dead, his land passes onto his daughter and sequentially the Caliphate.
 * Some of the older buildings in Sunda are damaged following the earthquakes, and Sunda rebuilds the damaged buildings. The military is updated too.
 * Finland continues to build and improve some infrastructure and continues industrialisation. Finland also expands Hyvinkää by 650 km, expands Käwäshiro by 700 km, and expands Moriyää by 650 km. Repairing continues and Shinto shrines are rebuilt as well. More buildings are built East Asian style, mostly Nipponese anyway.
 * Shogunate of Kōshi continues expanding by 3000 km and continues building infrastructure and continues industrialisation. Empress Kaija Tanaka orders that more ship ports/harbours are built and tested. Some more steam ships are made too. The Shogunate of Kōshi's scientists have finally created a successful light bulb. They begin to find a way on how to put it into good use. With that said, more research is being done. Meanwhile, more Shinto shrines are built along the way. In the Republic of Kazami, harbours are rebuilt as well and improved.
 * A Korean agent in Vietnam bribes a top Vietnamese engineer to come to Korea, where he brings designs and schematics of of the new rifle and other Vietnamese projects. The rifle is not yet mass produced, however it is expected to be in the next year. The military is improved, as well as the industry. They accept the Nipponese offer, and suggest a joint research laboratory/facility in Dokdo.
 * The Vietnamese reveal that they have predicted that the Koreans would do something to that effect, and had provided the "traitor" with counterfeit blueprints that produced absolutely unusable rifles that exploded when used. NOTE: If you really wanted my rifles you should have asked Pita. I would have been happy to oblige you.
 * But this is funner :) Also, is the traitor then a "real" traitor?
 * The "traitor" was only a traitor to the people who bribed an ally's engineer.
 * ?? Sorry I can't understand you, LOL...
 * The "traitor" was a patriot who supplied the spy with fake blueprints that make useless, and dangerous, rifles. Yet again I have to say that you should have tried to obtain the rifles through legal means, rather than pulling this cloak and dagger crap.
 * Ricasolia's dictator Pablo Ovelli by now has firmly established his control over the island, and he continues to force industrialization upon the people there. A few whisper that they are no better off than they were under the Neapolitans, but they are quickly silenced.
 * Israel improves its economy and industrializes further. An interest in history has developed among the Israelis, and steps are made to preserve historic areas, especially in the growing city of Damascus.
 * Istoias expands to cover the entirety of the coast of Madagascar, although they control is very thin. They work on connecting their new territory to their main nation.
 * France and its vassal, the Republic of Akon, prepare to defend against Onguayal's unprovoked and unfair attack, that tries to take adventadge of their vulnerable situation. They ask Russia, Sweden, Fjorlaand and Nippon for help, as they must honour the peacer hardly gotten in the last war. Trochu, meanwhile, travels to Bharat and tells the government that he's disposed to convince his govenrment to sell some territories to give Onguayal a coast, but the Bharati must promise to pay, as France needs money to recover. The anarchist parties start spreading in Germany.
 * Bharat begins diplomatic talks with the French on how to help end the war and stop Onguayal.
 * Edwin Symonette becomes President of Isloque and officially annexes Haiti as an Autonomous Republic in the Caribbean Federation. They also fund some political democrathic groups in the former Itsaygahian state that borders South Novarossiya, trying to convince them to join the federation.
 * Malouinas asks a loan from any country disposed to pay, as they really need to recover. They're disposed to pay high interests.
 * In Novo-Armannak, some NewFrench inventor called Alexander Graham Bell invents the telephone. He sells the invention to the French, and they start spreading its use around the French sphere of influence.
 * Asim Asghar Almasi changes the name fo the state to Sultanate of Seminole. He starts spreading his criminal group, Tsuginisi Edoda, around North America and the Caribbean. He doesn't recognise the Caribbean Federation, as they don't recognise his sultanate. He uses the excuse of "preserving the sovereignity of Haiti, an old ally of our beloved, but sadly gone, Levelled Republic of Itsaygahi". He also offers an alliance to Pablo Ovelli's Ricasolia, and he'll promote his interests and help him if Ovelli does the same for him.
 * Algeria-Libya expands 17250 sq km. The son of the Sultan of the UJE (cunrrently an Emir) asks Israel for the right of the Muslims to go on pilgrimage to Jerusalem and visit the historical important areas such as Damascus. He promises to convince his father and the Caliph-Shah to allow similar rights to the israelis (jwish, christians and others).
 * Sweden helps the UGS expand into Brandenburg and the IEC into Alaska. Sweden produces more ships with its naval production at full blast. A new type of shipyard is built in several cities but no-one knows what these huge warehouses are for. Asgard expands 15250 sq km southwards from its main area.
 * Bharat's factories continue churning out more civilian materials, like clothes and iron and steel to build buildings and other factories while ship production continues at pre-war levels. Work on a top-secret naval project continues and work on its main guns continue. Huge shipyards begin construction in Mumbai, Ahamdabad and other coastal cities while the army size is increased as troops are called up. The army are trained on how to use the Angry Tiger, and become experts by the end of the year. As well as this, contractors continue constructing buildings higher and higer than ever before to accomadate more people and earn more of a profit. The mahajhapanas send in more secretly armed missionaries and fund Hindus trying to convert Muslims in Persia, and the missionaries are told to focus on the border areas and the former Kashmir province. More factory and road construction continues finishes, and the road gets used extensively while the factories start churning out materials. More railroads continue to be laid in the eastern vassals of Bharat, and railroad projects in Orissa (that is what I am calling the former AGC vassal) are complete while they take more time in Bihar (that is what I am calling the vassal in former Hattanwaddy territory). The war against the French South American colony halts to a truce as terms for an armistice are worked out.
 * Naya Bharat expands 10750 km toward the interior. More factory construction continues and products are sold to Bharat for a profit. The Naya Bharati cricket team works and trains hard to become the best in the sport and their tour of Hindustan went well, they won 4-1. The tour of Neue Brandenburg went very well, and the Naya Bharatis turn out to be a lot better than the Bharatis, defeating the Neue Brandenburg team 3-2 in the series. The last match was a real ride as both teams had equal chances to win but it was Naya Bharat who prevailed. More aboriginals are innoculated, and the innoculation programs continue. Naya Bharat continues helping many tribes come together into one state between their colony and the Australian Kingdom, and manage to persuade 5 tribes to merge with the one major tribe, increasing the total to 22.
 * Hindustan expands 10500 km northward and southward (not in the centre). The population continue to build factories with their bare hands and more fishing boats go out to the sea. They continue helping tribes come together into one state, and three tribes merge with the one major tribe, increasing the total to 23.
 * Onguayal work on their army and expand it, and direct troops against the French forces in their colony. With more funding from Bharat, their industrialization program continues to catch up with the major world powers. The Onguayalis continue the railroad construction project, which is connecting Manoa with Onguayal. The war against the French colony has gone very well, but as the French extend the olive palm of diplomacy, the Onguayalis announce a temporary truce as the division of the colony is discussed.
 * Russia sends out anti-Persian-union Propaganda and propaganda that views the Russians as the harbingers of freedom and democracy to the people of Kazakhstan, with the small price of having to support Russia's military at all costs. To prevent an uprising, a proposition to the Khan of Kazakhstan is sent out to create a people's assembly, and to grant them power. He promptly agrees (not much choice here). The Russian military rebuilds and so does the navy.

1881
As the German people rejoice over finally having order in their long-disordered homeland, Berlin expands its control south until it borders Silesia. They then rename their nation Deutschland in order to get more people to join; however, the warlords of central Germany prevent any further Deutschlandian expansion to the west or south.

More earthquakes continue to shake Java and Sumatra and they are increasing in severity though most building suffer no ill effects.


 * There Scandinator, now they've reached the limit they can control and there's room for your Germany. Deutschland isn't going to be vassalized though, as I posted that they didn't like Swedish expansion into Germany


 * Italy improves its military a great deal, by rebuilding the Neapolitan, Venetian, and Genoan arsenals, and modernizing them to their fullest extent. Meanwhile, they begin a plan to sell more land to Switzerland, and the plans will be drawn up soon. Pahang is fully rebuilt, and expands 2000 square kilometers onto Borneo.
 * Dravidia expands Kongo by 7000 square kilometers further into the Kongo nation. Meanwhile, a Dravidan explorer, named Vellodi Barnala, sails up the Congo river, and claims the Congo basin for Dravidia.
 * Israel preserves and restores more historic buildings and areas within its borders. Since both Damascus and Jesusalem are near the borders with Muslim nations, they allow Muslims from the areas which follow the Caliph's branch of Islam to travel to those cities on pilgrimages, although not to immigrate.
 * Istoias incorporates the newly expanded territories further into the nation.
 * The Vietnamese continue their war against the South Swahili Kingdom. The new rifles give the Vietnamese soldiers another advantage against the tribal South Swahili forces.
 * The New Lithuanians continue expanding their industry. The New Lithuanians expand their New Samogita colony by 38*50 sq km. The New Lithuanians expand their New Ruthenia colony by 25*50 sq km.
 * The Taiwanese continue to expand their industry to repair the damage caused by the war. The Taiwanese expand their New Tainan colony by 25*50 sq km. The Taiwanese expand their New Taihoku colony by 25*50 sq km on the mainland.
 * The Myanma continue to expand their military to prepare for the upcoming war with Pegu. The Myanma continue expanding their industry to facilitate their military expansion.
 * The Scots continue to expand their industry to catch up with their neighbors. The Scots rename their new colony Nova Scotia, and expand it by 8*50 sq km.
 * Persia's New Tehran colony expands 1000 sq mi west. New Persia expands by 1000 sq mi east. New Isafan continues to expand by 1000 sq mi. north. The Persians continue their research of new military and non-military technologies. They manage to invent Gatling guns and revolvers, but continue to work on their navy to make it more modern. They establish a new colony at Cabinda, named New Persepolis. It has a current area of 50 sq mi. They continue to request Russia to give Kazakhstan to Persia.
 * If you read other peoples' posts, or even looked at the map, you would find that the entire mouth of the Congo River, and a good deal of land on the other sides, is already part of a Dravidian colony . Furthermore, colonies start at 50 square miles, not 10,000. Furthermore, you cannot expand by three million square miles, which is what 1000*1000 is.
 * We talked about the expansion thing in the talk page.
 * And nothing was decided yet, and your insane idea of trillions of miles of expansion was shot down. Why can't you post your expansion like everyone else and just state the total square miles instead of your way of [number]x[number]? And the maximum size of your colony in its first turn is 50 square miles, 100 is still too much.
 * 5x5 is still too little, you need 50 square miles. Type in the square milage and stop with this [number]x[number] stuff which looks unprofessional and is confusing.
 * Sunda faces religious strife, and many people call for a secular republic to take the place of the Sultan to make the government equal for all the people, rather than just the Muslim majority. A large group of the minority are Hindu, and they ask Bharat for help in staging a coup.
 * Bharat readies the required forces for staging the coup, and sends in spying missionaries to convert the populace to Hinduism as well as spy on the day to day workings of the government and the people.
 * The Caliph-Shah supports the Sultan, and declares that an attempt of Bharat to fund a coup (they don't know directly, but they suspect as Bharat has shown as Hindu-imperialist) it would be a direct aggression against the Umma and the Caliphate itself. Independently, I Figli di DIo and Tsuginisi Edoda, open separated bases on Sunda, and, while Tsuginisi tries to get political importance, obviously not-showing its criminal nature; I Figli di Dio makes disappear the oposers of the Muslim regime. In résumé, I Figli di DIo is aggressive, while Tsuginisi Edoda is passive.
 * Yeah, this is meta-gaming to say that your nation just so happens to suddenly theorize that Bharat is trying to make a coup.
 * Bharat has tried to convert Persia to Hinduism before, and I just supposed that, as there are Hindu unhappy minorities, it would be a possible way that Bharat could use to expand its nation.
 * Bharat sends in more Hindu converters, and unlike Persia, they have much more influence in the area due to Brunei, Nippon and its colonies.

In Akon, the war is harder, as the two bands are equally supported and Rochefort seems to be worried, so he supports I Figli di Dio, as most Akonians are sunna and he considers this faction to be the more liberal between them both, but many anti-anarchists, anti-occupationists (who consider this vassalship to France an occupation) and even trochuists and thiersists, support I Figli di Dio..

Also, Bharat is not friendly, or, more specifically, not with Persia. They've trying to convert your Muslim people to Hinduism and thus... I don't know, I suppose making you a vassal or annex some territory. Do remember the Muslim people? Those who overthrown your christian orthodox government to declare a Muslim fundamentalist one? Also, Imperium, please don't take this as personal, the Onguayal thing is forgotten, but is the Caliphate's duty, as a fundamentalist state, to fight this kinds of movements from Bharat, as is my controlled fundamentalist mafias' duty to... blow buildings up.

The area formerly known as Itsaygahi collapses into civil disorder due to the small nations not being able to stand up without unity, with the exception of the two mississipi states and florida. The Mississipia states expand outward to the west. The Musica Confederation doubles in size.

Itsaygahi already broke apart into a bunch of different countries, what's the point in having it go into civil disarray only like 7 years later?

To prevent the entire area being "united" under another government unless they put in years of work.

China vassalized a few states. Don't know why it didn't show up on the map.

They begin aiding any pro-Persian rebellions in Kazakhstan.
 * I just assumed that Persia was still an absolute monarchy (please, if I'm wrong, correct me), so the Caliph, inheriting the throne, would have the power. I didn't want to assume all the power, but avoid implausible things like trying to be "friendly" with Bharat while you'¡re in union with the Caliphate. They both have been fighting for the religion of the persian people and you havn't even response that. If we'll going to be in union, we need to coordinate the foreign affairs, so your allies and enemies, are my allies and enemies, and vice-versa. And I did ask you, and youa ccepted to be in a union. If you want, I can surrender and sign this turna constitution making Persia an (islamic) constitutional monarchy, so I'd be the Head of State, but you'd have the real power, but I still think is implausible to disobey that order.
 * Just be friendly to Bharat. Be religious tolerant. That's all I want.
 * The Caliphate's mere existance is them being Islamic fundamentalists. Your nation is controlled by Islamic fundamentalists. To be quite honest, the nations in this game are actually fairly implausibly liberal as it is.

Work on a top-secret naval project is about to finish and will be taken out of dry dock next year. The army trains in war games on the Bharati-Persian border and shows off their skills. However, this is not all, and after enough war games the army is told that they are going on a religious liberation war in Persia. They invade the country in seven different armies, and smash through Persian defences, who are taken by storm. The maharaja leads from the front and takes a whole army north to capture his beloved Persian Princess. The Bharatis also ask for help from any nation willing.
 * The Caliph-Shah sends the armies of Arabia, Adal, the UJE and Sokotara to Persia. He tells the Persian rebels that "Now you have saw the unfriendly Bharat is capable of be. Now you must fight for your country, to keep what is legitimately yours." How can this be a "religious liberation"?, if, though you may have converted many, specially in the border, Persia is a fundamentalist state and I have been fighting the conversion with both a secret police and a criminal organization, so the majority would be still Muslim. Also, what Persian Princess? As we're in union, any Persian Princess would be a daughter of the Caliph, and obviously not Hindu.
 * The one that was going to mary the Maharaja when Persia was considering joining in dynastic union with Bharat, the marriage was cancelled when they joined with the Caliphate.
 * Oh, okay. Also, I retreat my objection about how many Persians became Hindus, as RWG hasn't say a thing about it, and, now I'm considering it, I see it's propaganda.
 * It was propaganda, but I did manage to convert quite a bit of the east, while the west just became more fundamentalist. I have also managed to convert the Princess as the is in the east. This Princess was from the previous Shah.
 * Bharat responds by telling the rebels that their cause is noble and soon the might of the Bharati army will be upon our enemies' doorstep.
 * Naya Bharat expands 12750 km toward the interior. More factory construction continues and products are sold to Bharat for a profit. More aboriginals are innoculated, and almost all aboriginals are now innoculated. Naya Bharat continues helping many tribes come together into one state between their colony and the Australian Kingdom, and manage to persuade four tribes to merge with the one major tribe, increasing the total to 32.
 * Hindustan expands 11500 km northward and southward (not in the centre). The population continue to build factories with their bare hands and more fishing boats go out to the sea. They continue helping tribes come together into one state, and three tribes merge with the one major tribe, increasing the total to 35. They continue to innoculate natives and the trading continues.
 * Onguayal work on their army and the Angry Tiger makes its way into the Onguayali army. Onguayal finishes building houses and roads in the newly taken over territories of the South-West. With more funding from Bharat, their industrialization program continues to catch up with the major world powers. The Onguayalis finish the railroad construction project, and now Manoa and Onguayal are both connected. Missionaries manage to do a good job in convincing the Onguayalis and Manoans about Hinduism, and by the end of the year, mass conversions are taking place.
 * Sindu expands 5000 km as huge number of colonizers head to the colony.

1884
Kazahkstan undergoes a full-on revolt from Russia, swearing that they will fight to the death for their independence this time.

Two states, Luba and Lunda, are discovered in OTL Zaire.

You now that Kazakhstan is already effectively independant, right? Russia doesn't care what it does as long as it sends a couple of military divisions when Russia goes to war? right?

Yes, but it is technically a vassal, and the way you put their situation reminds me of OTL Wallachia on the Ottoman era.


 * The Vietnamese seize the Sout Swahili capital of Beira, officially ending the South Swahili War. The Vietnamese officially annex the South Swahili Kingdom.
 * Can anyone tell me how much pixels would be added to my East Africa colony after I annex South Swahili?
 * 6586
 * The New Lithuanians continue expanding their industry. The New Lithuanians expand their New Samogita colony by 38*50 sq km. The New Lithuanians expand their New Ruthenia colony by 25*50 sq km.
 * The Taiwanese continue to expand their industry to repair the damage caused by the war. The Taiwanese expand their New Tainan colony by 25*50 sq km. The Taiwanese expand their New Taihoku colony by 25*50 sq km on the mainland.
 * The Myanma continue to expand their military to prepare for the upcoming war with Pegu. The Myanma continue expanding their industry to facilitate their military expansion.
 * The Scots continue to expand their industry to catch up with their neighbors. The Scots expand their Nova Scotia colony by 8*50 sq km.
 * Italy works on repairing their colony of Pahang, which is in hysteria from the disaster. Strange religions and Swiss_Division.pngical parties form during these desperate years. In the main Italian nation, industrialization and economic improvement occur. They tell the French that they will help them against Rhineland and Westphalia, as well as pay them a generous amount of money, in return for the French selling them parts of Switzerland which were dominated by the Burgundians and are now parts of France.
 * Dravidia launches a full-on attack from Kongo to the south into the nation of Ndongo. They push back the primitive Ndongan forces in the war.
 * Istoias works on incorporating their new territories into the main nation.
 * Australian Empire closes its immigration gates, for the sake of English culture. At the same time, five more primary, two more secondary schools are built. John I of Australian Kingdom married Morta this year. They plan to have a son, who will be successor of the throne, upon death of his father.
 * Persia's New Tehran colony expands 1000 sq mi west. New Persia expands by 1000 sq mi east. New Isafan continues to expand by 1000 sq mi north. New Persepolis expands by 100 sq mi. The Persians continue their research of new military and non-military technologies. Persia agrees to help the Kazakhs under a condition they would agree to enter a union with Persia. The country is now caught up in a religious war between the Caliphate and India. Hindu nationalists in the country begin taking over the capital, forcing the shah to flee. It is possible that Persia is entering into religious disorder.
 * Egypt updates its military. Meanwhile, a boundary dispute with Ethiopia starts over the Dahlak archipelago. Egypt resolves to press the issue, and thus, relations between both countries worsen. Meanwhile, Egypt asks for a alliance with Greece.
 * Greece accepts the offer. Meanwhile, Hungary updates both its military and its navy. The Budapest-Koloszvár railway is finished. Magyar Dél-Amerikaban expands 11500 sq km.
 * Uruguay expands 7000 sq km.
 * Newfoundland expands 5000 sq km.
 * Labrador expands 4000 sq km.
 * Finland continues to build and improve some infrastructure and continues industrialisation. Finland also expands Hyvinkää by 650 km, expands Käwäshiro by 700 km, and expands Moriyää by 650 km. Repairing continues and more new buildings and Shintō shrines are being built. Kanako Björklund, in co-operation with Suomen Rautatiet Ryhmä, begins her plans now on buildning new railways in Finland.


 * Shogunate of Kōshi continues expanding by 3000 km and continues building infrastructure and continues industrialisation. Empress Kaija Tanaka accepts the Nipponese Telephone Company's offer and allows them to to wire up Shogunate of Kōshi for telephone usage. In return Empress Kaija Tanaka pays them up to around 31,905,900 Kōshi Yen (which by the way Kōshi Yen is pegged in par with the Nipponese Yen; also the payment is equivalent to a OTL 300,000 Euro)(also more money can be payed if this isn't enough). Shogun Helmiina Konpaku continues to invest in establishing new harbours. The Street Lights work fine and well in Harjavalta and Reiuzi, and plans to establish more street lights in other towns and cities go. Meanwhile Shogunate of Kōshi's scientists continue to research about telephone stuff and other areas of technology, trying to find new stuff. In the Republic of Kazami, Prime Minister Yuuka Järvenpää continues to improve the economy, and a few steam ships are build specifically to travel across the Shizuha Islands (OTL Maluku Islands) within the Republic of Kazami.
 * The Nipponese Telephone Company finishes wiring up the nation and aceepts the payment (tbh I have no clue what a company would charge for something like this in this world so I'll just go with it :P)
 * Sunda continues to recover from the Krakatoa eruption and Sunda thanks the countries who sent aid to help with the clean up.
 * The Commonwealth of Eetoria and Ngainkeha expands to the south west.
 * The USA expands southwards and modernizes the military.
 * Nippon's colonies continue to expand too, with Papua Nipponia expanding by (5*1,200) 6,000 sq km into central OTL New Guinea, Gosobudan expands (5*1,000) 5,000 sq km and Shuujin expands (800*5) 4,000 sq km. The Nipponese Telephone Company also lays telephone wires along the sea floor so now phone calls can be made to any of the 4 Japanese home islands. Plans to extend the submarine communication lines to Kamochatoka and Okinawa are made.
 * Sweden finishes most of the reconstruction of Finland. However the problem remains that nearly half the population was killed by the war most in the harsh period of Russian occupation. In order to counter the drop in population many people from former Doitsuchou (Japanese colony) migrate to Finland. In turn this increases relations with Prussia. Westphalia and Rhineland are encouraged to join the UGS with Westphalia finally agreeing to a diplomatic union. Rhineland on the other hand strongly refuses due to a large amount of French influence on the nation. The UGS expands further into Brandenburg with Brandenburg almost absorbed. The warlords of Brandenburg flee south into Austria and east into Poland in the face of the strong UGS and Swedish troops. Sweden works on her navy and army. New Sweden expands southward along the coast by 15250 sq km.
 * Um, no, I don't think that you can just control Russia's military like that. Russia has a policy of not killing civilians, Unless they are caught in the crossfires or in the bombardement of cities, you cant just turn around and say that the Russian military killed half of finland, when I am the one that is controlling the Russian army, Russia was fighting for Finnish independance, how much sense will it make to kill half the population that you will liberate? How will that sway them to your favor???
 * The Russian soldiers in their occupation of Finland were unable to provide the Finnish people enough food and supplies to survive. Other Finns were killed on purpose by some Russian soldiers who disobeyed your orders. Others got caught in the crossfire. Others were forced to migrate away from their homes as the frontline moved near and starved on the journey. etc All I'm saying is half a million Finns died in the war.
 * France builds up its military. The government accepts to give the swiss lands, as Blanqui is an antinationalist burgundian. He, however, asks that French be kept as co-official language. He continues his massive propaganda campaign, inciting the parts of Westpahlia that resist to the union to join Rhineland. Rhineland meanwhile becomes a French vassal. The French industry is again what it was before the war, and even better, as the trade is great.
 * The Swiss take the land they have bought, and with Naples they pay the French. They state that French will be an official language.
 * Isloque sends aid to the South Mississipia state, to help it go out fromt he civil disarray.
 * Seminole sends aid to the state directly north of it, and Tsuginisi Edoda is eliminating the oposers of Seminole.
 * Alexander Graham Bell becomes the wealthiest man in Novo-Armannak. The tax policies change, so the rich must pay more than the lower classes.
 * Malouinas keeps working on the industrialization.
 * The Caliphate builds up its military. The Caliph, still styling himself Shah, looks for Egyptian, Armenian and Kazakh help to fight the Hindus who are trying to conquer Persia. He shows the Kazakhs that Persia is no longer a Muslim state, so they should join the Caliphate.
 * Brunei continues to recover from the earthquake and many Survivors immigrate to the African colony. The military is upgraded and expanded. Brunei expandeds south as the economy grows.
 * Bharat's factories continue churning out more civilian materials, like iron and steel to build buildings and other factories while ship production continues at pre-war levels. Bihar, after being vassalized for around 50 years is finally incorporated into Bharat, but the mahajhapanas status does not change. Work on the top-secret naval project finishes and the ships come out of dry dock. In total, ten have been constructed and these ships create a new class, the dreadnought and name the first ship of this class BNS Dreasnought. The army is expanded as more troops are sent to the front. The offensive continues and the maharaja is elated he finally has his Princess, naming her his wife and the ruler of "Free Persia" (Persia under Hindu control and influence). Bharat funds the Hindu rebels trying to take the capital and sends in spies to help.
 * Naya Bharat expands 12,000 km toward the interior. More factory construction continues and products are sold to Bharat for a profit. All aboriginals who are in the range of Naya Bharat are now innoculated, much to the pleasing of the tribal leaders. Naya Bharat continues helping many tribes come together into one state between their colony and the Australian Kingdom, and manage to persuade a record nine tribes to merge with the one major tribe, increasing the total to 41. The tribal state now begins to appear on a map as they have suffecient land under their area to do so.
 * Hindustan expands 12,000 km southward. The population continue to build factories with their bare hands and more fishing boats go out to the sea. They continue helping tribes come together into one state, and ten tribes (also a record for Hindustan) merge with the one major tribe, increasing the total to 45. They continue to innoculate natives and the trading continues with the aboriginal state south-east of Hindustan, which is also large enough to appear on a map.
 * Onguayal work on their army train using the Angry Tiger. With more funding from Bharat, their industrialization program continues to catch up with the major world powers. The Onguayalis send in equipment to help build factories in Manoa. Mass conversions continue in both Manoa and Onguayal as more of the populace is convinced that their religion and Hinduism are one and the same. Onguayal and Manoa both send in troops to help Bharat.
 * Sindu expands 6000 km as more colonizers head to the colony.
 * Korea continues to amp up their military and their industry.
 * (if allowed to continue) Russia, aiding the old Kazakh government drives the rebellious Kazakhs into the SouthEast of the nation with superior firepower with artillery and Gatling guns and Izhmash Dobrinya-20s, and makes them form their own government, that Russia will have nothing to do with. Kazakhs that are sympathetic to Russia and live in the north are annexed into the Russian empire (just to note, I came into Kazakhstan in the first place because of Balkanor during the time where I wanted everything to be as planned with Russia ... so I won't easily give it up). Izhmash designs a new "sniper rifle, this rifle, to increase the energy with which the bullet is released from the cartridge, does not have a magazine, and is bolt-action needing to be reloaded with every shot. an "optical sight", a magnifying utility with crosshairs, is added to the top of the sniper rifle, and a slot is added to a new revisoin of the dobrinya-20 the dobrinya-20.1 which is essentially the same as the other, but with an extra spot on the top of the rifle where a sight improvement can be placed, or a sight adjustment (for distance). The Institute for weapons development, a stetecorp, is officially disbanded by the Liberal Duma. elecitons are called for next year, and ten more seats are added to accomodate the Kazakh annexation, amounting the total ammount of representatives to 521. (Delete another time and I will not try to repost this, and I will respect the decision of the mods, and just copy-paste this into next year then add some stuff about the other parts of Russia protesting."
 * Spain builds up its military and works to improve the economy. The government also works to stop Portugal from splitting. (sorry that I haven't been editing, but I've had computer problems and internet problems, etc.)

1885
{C

Inspired by the Kazahk revolt, many other protests for independence are held by ethnic minorities across Russia, but none get anywhere near revolts. The Kazahks are not fully united behind the revolters. Meanwhile, Morrocco falls into civil disarray as the government implodes.


 * Discussion moved to the talk page
 * The land sale between the French and the Swiss is not on the map.


 * Dravidia manages to quickly crush Ndongo and absorb it into their Kongo colony. New Vijayanagara is expanded by 1000 square kilometers further. A new wave of architecture, art, and clothing design moves through Dravidia, aiming to restore the oldest Indian styles before the Muslims conquered and spread theirs.
 * Bharati citizens begin to get inspired by the religious revival in Dravidia and they start to explore their own styles.
 * Italy expands Pahang by 4000 square kilometers further onto Borneo. The Sumutran parts of Pahang are nearly rebuilt. They help develop Switzerland more, as the Swiss feel left out of all the great events that are occuring.
 * Istoias expands deeper into the island of Madagascar, at the site where the OTL capital of Antananarivo is. They accept immigration still, from anyone fleeing oppression, though Schmittists from various parts of the world make up the largest portion of the immigration by far.
 * The Vietnamese expand their newly enlarged East Africa colony by 76*50 sq km. The Kenians expand their military and industry to prepare for the war with Bale. The Kenians sign agreements with Eithiopia and Sennar, who are afraid of Adal's expansion, to make them vassals of Kenia for their protection once Adal is conquered.
 * Wouldn't they need to at least border Sennar to be a vassal to it? Maybe you should just state that Vietnam will protect them from any threat, and once Bale is defeated then you will border both and be able to vassalize them.
 * The New Lithuanians continue expanding their industry. The New Lithuanians expand their New Samogita colony by 38*50 sq km. The New Lithuanians expand their New Ruthenia colony by 25*50 sq km.
 * The Taiwanese continue to expand their industry to repair the damage caused by the war. The Taiwanese expand their New Tainan colony by 25*50 sq km. The Taiwanese expand their New Taihoku colony by 25*50 sq km on the mainland.
 * The Myanma continue to expand their military to prepare for the upcoming war with Pegu. The Myanma continue expanding their industry to facilitate their military expansion.
 * The Scots continue to expand their industry to catch up with their neighbors. The Scots expand their Nova Scotia colony by 8*50 sq km.
 * Persia's New Tehran colony expands 1000 sq mi west. New Persia expands by 1000 sq mi east. New Isafan continues to expand by 1000 sq mi north. New Persepolis expands by 100 sq mi. The Persians continue their research of new military and non-military technologies. Persia asks Russia to have Kazakhstan to end their troubles. Eastern Persian Hindus and Central Persian Christians begin rebelling against the Shah, driving him from power and ending the short-lived union. They look to Bharat for a new union.
 * Sweden helps the UGS take over the rest of Brandenburg. The death of the Sweden Emperor results in another set of the throne elections. In a twist, the voting is now extended to the public with landowners getting two votes and all other citizens one. The IEC expands into Alaska and New Sweden expands 15250 sq km southwards. Sweden upgrades her military and navy and moves troops close to the Russian border. Sweden declares support for the oppressed Kazakhs and sends them supplies.


 * Marriage in Australian Kingdom occurs later than expected. Australian Kingdom expands by 10,000 sq km. Nothing else of interest happens.
 * Finland continues to build and improve some infrastructure and continues industrialisation. Finland also expands Hyvinkää by 650 km, expands Käwäshiro by 700 km, and expands Moriyää by 650 km. Repairing continues and more new buildings and Shintō shrines are being built. Repairing is now 99% complete. Meanwhile Kanako Björklund encourages Finns to have more families and population growth.
 * Shogunate of Kōshi continues expanding by 3000 km and continues building infrastructure and continues industrialisation. Empress Kaija Tanaka now has a telephone in her Palace so she can now stay in easier contact with the Shogun. Shogun Helmiina Konpaku continues to invest in establishing new harbours, and has a telephone too. The electric light bulbs used in Street Lights work great and now more Street Lights are built in other towns and cities. Meanwhile Shogunate of Kōshi's scientists continue to research other areas of technology, still trying to find new stuff; they have some success. In the Republic of Kazami, Prime Minister Yuuka Järvenpää decides to also go with the Street Light idea and soon some Street Lights begin to appear in the Republic of Kazami's towns and cities.
 * After months, Egypt and Ethiopia resolve to settle the Dahlak issue. On this, Ethiopia recognizes Egypt's ownership of Dahlak in return of a certain sum of money. Egypt tries to buy the island of Massawa on the same negotiations, but without success. Meanwhile, the military is updated. Meanwhile, the industry grows. Meanwhile, they try to stall their decision of whether to support the Caliphate or not, and ask for a alliance with Hungary.
 * Hungary accepts the Egyptian offer. Meanwhile, more street lights are installed in Budapest, and, with the success of the experiment, other cities install some, such as Bécs and Kraków. Meanwhile, construction of a branch of the Budapest-Koloszvár railway, this one going to Debrecen, starts. Another branch is planned to go to Nandórfehervár. Meanwhile, Ezsák-Afrika expands 11500 sq km south and inland.
 * Newfoundland expands 5000 sq km. The economy expands.
 * Uruguay expands 7500 sq km.
 * The Caliph, still styling himself Shah, somehow recognises the central and eastern parts of Persia lost, though there's still operatives bases of both I Figli di Dio and the Caliphate's secret polcie, both working on avoid a total convertion of the population. Still the Caliph refuses to give up his claims on the western Muslim part of Persia, where protest are held by the fundamentalists who want to join the Caliphate and call the Caliph, Shah. The son of the Caliph, Murad, travels to Kazakhstan to serve as ambassador wtih the current provisional government/most powerful warlords of the region. He encourages his father's propaganda, and asks the Kazakhs to recognise the Caliph as their Khan (would that be the correct title?). I Figli di Dio starts to operate in the border to keep Russia's influence out of the country while the negotiations continue. I Figli di DIo is disputed by two faction now: A pro-Caliphate one, and a conservative one (or most likely, liberal, as they want to preserve the liberal ways of the organization). Mnay branches become independent, with both ideologies fighting across the world. The porevious Emir becomes Sultan of the UJE, and he declares the Caliph to be his heir. The Caliph asks for closest relationships and a non-aggression pact to Egypt.
 * Yes, khan is good, and also, the revolters are not unified, and the north is mostly pro-Russia (and where most of the soldiers sent to Russian wars come from). If a state were to be set up, it would be in the south. a map will come soon.
 * Malouinas improves its economy and technology.
 * Isloque continues its propaganda campaign on Mississipia.
 * Seminole continues its own propaganda/military/criminal campaign on the other itsaygahian states. The state right north seems to be just about to join Seminole, as it's the best and safest way to get out form the current crisis, but it doesn't as three states that border it, though have an important pro-seminolian population, have governments who hate the seminole attempts to take them over. They form a league to protect each other from Seminole. As the current conference in colonziation is being held, and Hungary, Bharat and France seem to be expansionist states, the former guinean itsaygahian colony and vassal states accept to become the Free State of New Seminole, with the sultan as its Owner.
 * Novo-Armannak asks for an alliance to Kanada and Vietnam.
 * The Kanadians accept the alliance, and send barrels of the finest Kanadian vodka as a gift to the leader of Novo-Armannak.
 * The Vietnamese accept Novo-Armanak's offed alliance. The Vietnamese give Novo-Armannak their traditional gift of a throne and a set of crown jewels.


 * The anarchist government of France is overthrown by a republican coup. Blanqui kills hmiself. Mac-Mahon is elected President of the Republic by a five years time period. The anarchist government of Akon is also overthrown, with Akon becoming an official colony of France.
 * Russia acts on the protests, noting that the minorities do have the rights to persue their culture, religeon and be educated in their language, as provided by the primary rights of the citizen act(or whatever I called it). The Liberal party wins a majority once more, while the Nationalist party becomes official opp with the Socialists, now divided into the Social Democrats, the Social Revolutionaries, and the nearly-dead Beuharist party, win nearly 110 seats in total, with the nationalist party winning 130 seats, and the liberals with 271 seats (many of these won because of a first-past-the-post system), and other trace parties, like the surprisingly outvoted Polish party with only four seats this time. other trace parties won the remaining five seats. To further quell rebellions and instill Nationalism, the Liberal party issues a second decleration of the rights of the citizen, allowing women, if they own property or have no husband to vote officially (they have been doing so unofficially but nobody really minded as long as they owned land)(they want to stick with the one family one vote, but also want to maintain an individual citizen's right to vote, so by sa). This move is supported by the Russian Orthodox Church. A Suffrage movement starts to appear, proposing equal wages for women in factories that have to work to sustain their families. In this decleration, the right to be a member of a Syndicate(or labour union) is proposed by the Social democrats (the largest of the socialist parties, winning. The Old Prime Minister, Dimitri Solsy Retires, and in his place, Nicolay pavlovich Ignatiev takes his place as President of the Cabinet of Ministers, the title of the position is later changed to simply chancelor of the Russian Senate. Imbedded in the secondary rights of the citizen act, there is a clause that states that if a governate is majoritarily a minority, that governate is given special powers to protect the cultures of the minorities. Darwin publishes the theory of evolution by natural seleciton, withc is now very unpopular. The military starts using hot air balloons for reconnaisance and moves some troops to the Swedish border in response to the Swedes moving troops to the border. Talks are happening with Kazakhs in the south to stop the fighting and murder of innocent civilians caught in the crossfire.
 * Bharat's factories continue churning out more civilian materials, like iron and steel to build buildings and other factories while ship production continues at pre-war levels. Work in Bihar begins to help it reach the same industrialization level as the rest of Bharat. Railroads are constructed and new factory construction begins. As well as this, more of the land is farmed using better farming techinques. More "dreadnought class" ships are released from dry dock, and these take part in blockading Persia and the Caliphate's ports, destrying any ships trying to get in or out. The army is expanded as more troops are sent to the front, with a new version of the Angry Tiger entering mass production. This varient can be carried around by hand and be manned by only two people. The offensive continues and by now Tehran falls to the troops as they are aided by the rebels. The maharaja returns to his palace this year and gets married to his Princess officially. He then takes her to the front where she becomes his top tactical advisor, doing a good job at it. The easternmost part of Persia, where over 90% of the populace is Hindu, is annexed into Bharat proper as it has huge cultural links with Bharat. The remainder of Bharati Persia is made into the Kingdom of Persia.
 * Naya Bharat expands 12,000 km toward the interior. More factory construction continues and products are sold to Bharat for a profit. Naya Bharat continues helping many tribes come together into one state between their colony and the Australian Kingdom, and manage to persuade eight tribes to merge with the one major tribe, increasing the total to 47. The tribal state now also now appears on a map as they have a large enough area to do so. Railroad construction begins in Naya Bharat as the area is big enough to be connected by railroads.
 * Hindustan expands 12,000 km southward. More factories are built and better boats go out to the sea. They continue helping tribes come together into one state, and seven tribes (also a record for Hindustan) merge with the one major tribe, increasing the total to 52. They continue to innoculate natives and the trading continues with the aboriginal state south-east of Hindustan, which grows in area.
 * Onguayal work on their army train using the Angry Tiger. Industrializing continues in Onguayal and Onguayal begins to churn out their own train engines, after help from Bharat. The Onguayalis send in more equipment to help build factories in Manoa. Mass conversions continue in both Manoa and Onguayal and almost half of the populace is now converted. Onguayal expands South East, and manages to border more of Manoa as well as expanding into uncivilized areas.

1886
Inspired by the revolts in Kazakhstan, large populations of Turkic peoples in Western China begin protesting the Chinese rule.
 * Neue Brandenburg sees the death of Wilhelm III, who is replaced by his son King Friedrich I. The President remains in control. The country expands by 10,000 sq km. Finally, Neue Wilhelmsburg expands by 1000 sq km. (Sorry I haven't posted...Just got back from driving 1400 miles for a history day contest just in time for finals...)
 * Persia's New Tehran colony expands 1000 sq mi west. New Persia expands by 1000 sq mi east. New Isafan continues to expand by 1000 sq mi north. New Persepolis expands by 100 sq mi. The Persians make success on their military technologies, catching up with most of Europe. Persia continues asks Russia to have Kazakhstan to end their troubles. They establish a new declaration, establishing a constitutional monarchy, which is a liberal, capitalist secular state, ending centuries of religious rule and opening a new era of freedon. With that, a union with Bharat is declared.
 * Lx, are you even noticing this?!
 * Are you noticing that I am willing to give up the south? I will give up the south, to Persia.
 * Algerian-Persian? Algeria is a colony, it's like the third time I say it to you. Also, the Shah isn't murdered, as the Shah (Caliph) is safe in Riyadh, and the other Shah (Maharaja) is in your side. I tell you, the west of your country is still Muslim, even the center, would I say, so I recommend you to give up that lands to me, as they'll give you more troubles than anything. The same for Kazakhstan, as they wouldn't like to join a country that is under a Hindu regime. The same goes for Yemen. I don't know what the religiosity of the colonies is, probably Vicia, as catholic, would continue at your side, but what about the rest?
 * Look. I'll try to fix everything.
 * Bharat is anti-socialist, so I would make it a capitalist secular state if I were you.
 * Italy sends a large amount of aid to the tiny former Venetian colony of Calora, in South America (it borders Neue Brandenburg). They state that as the successor state to Venice, they have claim over Calora. The Calorans, fearful of the Brandenburgians in the north's expansion, recognize the Italian claim over their land and become a puppet state of Italy.
 * The serbian separatists already have a good number of supporters in Serbia.noticing this, and worried by the revolts on Kazakhstan and China, the government comes to the conclusion that a revolt is almost inevitable, though not imminent.in a attempt to avoid this, they resolve to create a vassal out of Serbia. The Principality of Serbia, as it is named, is created around July, having its capital in Prizren. However, since Serbia has no royal house since the 15th century, the governor of the régió, Aleksandar Milosević, becomes the Prince of Serbia. Meanwhile, the régió of Diocleia is also merged with Serbia. Meanwhile, the Budapest-Debrecen railway continues to be built, while the navy is updated. Ezsák-Afrika expands 13750 sq km.
 * Egypt updates both military and navy, and the industry expands. Meanwhile, they accept the offer of the Caliphate.
 * Uruguay expands 7500 sq km.
 * Newfoundland's economy grows.
 * Australian Kingdom expands 10,000 sq km. John I's of Australia wife is pregnant.
 * Sweden expands its military and help the IEC expand in Alaska. The UGS showers the Austrians, Berliners, Silesians and the Bohemians with propaganda encouraging them to join the UGS and form a united German nation. Swedish propaganda is sent into Prussia encouraging the former province of Sweden to rejoin Sweden and stay with the other former Doitsuchouan states. Prussia seriously considers the offer due to the fact that the nation is surrounded by Russian vassals. New Sweden expands 15250 sq km northwards. Sweden sends an envoy to Taiwan stating if they hand over the BC colony to Sweden, Sweden will hand over the Solomon Islands. Sweden's throne elections end peacefully with no deaths and a Finnish lord is elected as Emperor of Sweden.
 * The Vietnamese declare war on Persia and their allies to support Bharat. The Kenians also take the opportunity to declare war on the Persian alliance. They mainly assist Bharat by invading the Persian ally of Adal.

 * brunei expands the African colony and infrastructre is improved.
 * The USA continues to expand around the native state, with whom they form a trade deal with.
 * Nippon builds its own dreadnought class ships taking ideas from the Bharati dreadnoughts. This is quite cheap though as a lot of the pre-dreadnaught ships are just upgraded to become dreadnought ships by giving them bigger guns and stronger armour. Nippon's colonies continue to expand too, with Papua Nipponia expanding by (5*1,000) 5,000 sq km into central OTL New Guinea, 1,000 sq km into the island half colonized off the north west of New Guinea and Gosobudan expands (5*1,000) 5,000 sq km.

Meanwhile Kanako Björklund continues to encourages Finns to have more families and population growth so to repopulate Finland again back to pre-war numbers and hopefully beyond that as well.
 * Shogunate of Kōshi continues expanding by 4000 km and continues building infrastructure and continues industrialisation. Empress Kaija Tanaka also sides with Bharat and sends military support to help them in the war against Persia. This surprises Shogun Helmiina Konpaku, as she tries to tell Empress Kaija Tanaka that the Shogunate of Kōshi's military is in no way ready to partake in a war let alone send military support to help. Empress Kaija Tanaka tells Helmiina Konpaku to "Yukkuri shite itte ne!" (British translation: Take it easy!) and promises her that she will be sure to make sure to build up Shogunate of Kōshi's military after the support war and put funding in the military as well.

 * Bharat thanks Koshi for its support and begins supplying the troops of Koshi with the Angry Gun and it will help train its army.
 * China works on expanding its military, though the protests in Western China cut things short. China responds by increasing military presence in the cities with protesters just in case. The Emperor states that Western China, while far from Beijing, is still Chinese and enjoys the same freedoms those in Beijing and Eastern China do. Western China has been part of China for upwards of a century and a half, some parts being Chinese since the 1400s.
 * Bharat's factories continue churning out more civilian materials, like iron and steel to build buildings and other factories while ship production continues at pre-war levels. Work in Bihar continues and the local economy receives a huge boost with all the new employment and factory construction. Railroads are constructed and new factory construction begins.

Said so, he wants to submit every Persian regions to vote, so the parts that are still mostly Muslim could join the Caliphate. The Caliph's army marches on Yemen, and, in the capital, they proclaim such realm to be a part of the Caliphate itself. The Caliphate builds up its military.

The Persians make success on their military technologies, catching up with most of Europe. Persia continues asks Russia to have Kazakhstan to end their troubles. Muslim fundamentalists, who make up a majority of the country, take over the newly established government and re-declare their union with the Caliphate. To prevent a crisis with Bharat, they agree to ban discrimination on Hindus.
 * The Vietnamese accept the French offer, and annex Nouvelle-Gascogne into their East African colony. They officially withdraw from the war with Persia, and ask that Bharat seek a peaceful settlement as soon as possible. The Kenians also withdraw from the war, and restart preparations for war with Bale.
 * Persian Diplomacy: We know we are in a big mess and we also appreciate a peace offer too.
 * Bharat also agrees as it has grown tired fighting a war which they have completed all their objectives in.

Also, the year sees a huge increase in the size of the military, as more people dissatisfied with the UGS immigrate to socialist, liberal Neue Brandenburg. A new constitution is agreed which expands Presidential powers. Friedrich I installs light bulbs in the Royal Palace.
 * Swedish diplomats ask Taiwan to sell New Taihoku in return for the Solomon Islands. Sweden begins nickel mining operations in New Caledonia. Sweden bombards Prussia with propaganda to join them and Prussia reluctantly concedes to re-establishing the military alliance and also agreeing to support Sweden in case of war. The UGS signs alliance agreements with Austria and Silesia. Sweden helps the IEC expand into Alaska and Asgard expands southwards by 15250 sq km. Sweden starts to install electric lights in all their main cities. Sweden improves her navy and army. Sweden's new Finnish Emperor calls for tighter relations with Nippon sending a cloak of fine furs to the Nipponese emperor. A Swedish company analyzes the situation in Suez and Nicaragua and calls for ambition plans to build canals that will cut travel times between continents allowing Swedish ships to get to Asia much faster. The company asks China/USA for permission to build the Nicaragua canal and Egypt/the Caliphate for permission to build the Suez canal. All nations will receive 37.5% of the profit of their respective canal each.
 * That isn't a Nipponese colony any more, it got independence a few years back and is the USA. They already got a train system for transporting the goods over land known as the pan-panama railway so they are content at the moment.
 * Sweden asks the USA nicely and shows them the pros and cons of the canal stating they will obtain much more trade if the canal goes through.
 * The Caliphate asks to receive 43.7%. It will remain in 37.5% just if Sweden agrees to help the Caliphate to keep the former Swedish Arabia.
 * The USA have a monopoly over the pan-America transportation business, and as the current rail system forces merchant ships to stay in the US ports for a week or two waiting for cargo to be transported to them from the other side of the railway, meaning that because merchants spend longer in the USA, causing them to to shop at more US business. To build a canal would devastate the economies of the two port cities on either side of the pan-panama railway, and thus the country as a whole as these are two main cities of the USA (Port Atlantica and Port Pacifica respectively, and Port Pacifica is the capital too). So the USA refuses, as they would lose more money than they'd gain.
 * China accepts, but we want 10% on all tariffs and free crossing.
 * China won't get anything since the USA rejected the proposal. The Swedish company waits for the current events in Arabia to unfold.
 * The former Swedish puppet state of Swedish Arabia is sick of the wars the caliphate has pulled them into and seeks to re-establish independence dragging Libya along with it, Fjordlaand supports them in this action.
 * The Caliph uses his influences in the fundamentalist population to destroy most nationalist movements.
 * The population of Swedish Arabia is not very fundamentalist as the Catholics have a significant population and schools taught children to be anti-fundamentalist.
 * How could your schools teach religious tolerance if the Swedish Arabia was in union with the Caliphate? Is like say that the British schools teach that the Falklands are rightfully Argentine. Also, if it's true that many Christians lived in Arabia, then they would never have joined the Caliphate. Any large amounts would be massacred or have fled to Israel.
 * The area was under Swedish rule for much longer than under the Caliphate, the older generations would have continued to teach the younger generations. Also, they could still be a large minority, like 20%, small enough to be overwhelmed and join the Caliphate, but far too much to flee or be massacred. Also, if that is what your Caliphate would do, they appear not to follow the teachings of their own religion
 * The current fundamentalist states don't follow their own religions tightly, as long as they consider to be disobeying is more functional to their interests. This is still implausible to me. I seriously don't think the christian population would be that large, not even during the Swedish owning of the territory. I don't remember you posting about religious conversion or Christian immigration into Arabia. The christian group, when Arabia became independent, also should have been pursued or immigrate, specially if the government was willing to join the Caliphate.
 * Swedish Arabia joined barely 10 years ago... The fundamentalists are hated and very few in the nation and a popular revolt is very hard to crush.
 * Hated, very few? If so, then they should never have emancipated from Sweden nor joined the Caliphate. You're contradicting yourself. Most Muslims should be fundamentalist by this time, and most Arabians should be Muslims by this time, so they would be faithful subjects of the Caliphate. And don't say that the independence thing was because nationalism, because that would be a contradiction, as any nationalism would be from the Muslims not the Swedish Immigrants.
 * Nippon's Emperor Meiji thanks the Swedish for his fine fur cloak and Meiji regularly wears it in the winter times as his over coat. This sparks a demand in the colder northern areas of Nippon for fur overcoats, with trench coats with a fur on the inside becoming the most bought as they use less fur so they are cheaper for the everyday citizen. Nippon's colonies continue to expand too, with Papua Nipponia expanding by (5*2,000) 10,000 sq km into central OTL New Guinea, and Gosobudan expands (5*1,000) 5,000 sq km. Rubber plantations begin to be grown in Papua Nipponia too, after Nipponese traders bought rubber tree seeds from South America. The Nipponese Telephone Company connects telephone lines from Nippon proper to Satotochi, and The Nipponese Telephone Company offers to install Korea, China, Taiwan & New Lithuania their own telephone networks and link them to Nippon.
 * China accepts
 * Taiwan accepts.
 * New Lithuania accepts.
 * The Commonwealth of Eetoria and Ngainkeha expands to the south west.
 * The USA continues to expand around the native state, expanding eastwards. They also hear of the Swedish plans which they refuse as the USA wishes to retain its monopoly on cross-America transportation which it currently has thanks to the pan-Panama railway.
 * Australian Kingdom continues to expand, by expanding 10,000 sq km east. Meanwhile, five new cities are founded. Two military training camps are built in New London. One of them is west of the city, and the other one in the center. On the same year, royal family receives an addition: a son. King gives him a name of Aussie.
 * China will allow the protests as long as they are not violent. The military is stationed in the area just in case the protests turn to riots. Meanwhile, the military is expanded.
 * Finland continues to build and improve some infrastructure and continues industrialisation. Finland also expands Hyvinkää by 650 km, expands Käwäshiro by 700 km, and expands Moriyää by 650 km. Kanako Björklund along with Suomen Rautatiet Ryhmä begins to have more rail-ways built all over Finland.
 * Korea agrees to the Nipponese offer, although Korean ones have set up a network already in Seoul and Daegu. They continue to amp up their military, and their industry is improved.
 * Shogunate of Kōshi continues expanding by 4000 km and continues building infrastructure and continues industrialisation. Support for the war against Persia continues as the Shogunate of Kōshi's military fight alongside with the Bharatis. Empress Kaija Tanaka also gladly accepts Bharat's offer of helping with the training of the Shogunate of Kōshi's military. Shogun Helmiina Konpaku continues funding for more harbours that are being built. A new city, named Yääkumö (near where OTL is) as well. The Republic of Kazami also continues supporting Bharat in their war. Meanwhile construction of Street Lights and now, Telephone wires begin being established and built in cities and towns. Yuuka Järvenpää also establishes a few new harbours as well. More rights for the minority citizens are established in both the Republic of Kazami and Shogunate of Kōshi as well.
 * Bharat's factories continue churning out more civilian materials, like iron and steel to build buildings and other factories while ship production continues at pre-war levels. Work in Bihar continues and the local economy receives booms with all the new employment and factory construction. Railroads are constructed and factory construction continues. More "dreadnought class" ships are released from dry dock, and old ships are also upgraded to reach "dreadnought" status making many obsolete ships valuable again. The army is expanded and trained better before being sent to the front. The offensive continues and dreadnoughts prove their worth when Caliphate ships attack the Bharati navy in a bid to break the blockade. The attack fails miserably and the majority of the offensive fleet is either destroyed or captured. Bharat calls for a diplomatic end as they realise that they cannot take over all of Persia as the Muslims would rebel. Bharat begins to produce its own telephones and begins to lay down telephone lines close to railroads so that there are no major problems in the laying down of telephone lines. Light bulbs also begin to be produced and this year, both the parliament and the palace, are lit up with light bulbs. Bharat is also glad that Koshi accepted the offer for helping train their troops and Bharat begins training them with their own troops.
 * Naya Bharat expands 12,000 km toward the interior. More factory construction continues and products are sold to Bharat for a profit. Naya Bharat continues helping many tribes come together into one state between their colony and the Australian Kingdom, and manage to persuade two tribes to merge with the one major tribe, increasing the total to 49. Railroad construction continues in Naya Bharat while the first telephones are installed in the colony.
 * Hindustan expands 12,000 km southward. More factories are built and better boats go out to the sea. They continue helping tribes come together into one state, and four tribes merge with the one major tribe, increasing the total to 56. They finish inoculating the natives and the aboriginal state grows in area.
 * Onguayal work on their army train using the Angry Tiger. Industrializing continues in Onguayal and Onguayal begins to churn out their own train engines, after help from Bharat. The Onguayalis continue sending equipment to help build factories in Manoa. Mass conversions continue in both Manoa and Onguayal and two thirds of the populace is now converted. Onguayal expands South East, and manages to completely border Manoa.
 * Sindu expands 7000 km inward.
 * Italy makes a proposal to Brunei to give the people of Brunei half of the Bornean part of Pahang in return for the Singapore Islands. Meanwhile, the new puppet of Calora doubles its size moving inland into South America, as they now have the technology to fight the natives. Large amounts of Waldensians immigrate here, resulting in the proportion of Catholics in Italy rising.
 * Dravidia continues aiding Bharat. Meanwhile, the colony of Kongo, now much larger, expands by 8000 square kilometers further into the small nation of Kongo. The Dravidians begin to industrialize and the neo-ancient art and design movement continues. Dravidian forces in Persia note that there are relatively large amounts of the Parsi Zoroastrians fighting for Bharat, and that they are being joined by Persian Zoroastrians who want to live under Bharat, not Arabia, as Bharat and the other Indian states have always been tolerant of them. They also try to convert some Persian Muslims to Zoroastrianism.
 * By Imperial Decree By Alexander II, Russians are all officially given the obligation to obtain a passport or piece of identity at the age of 14. This Imperial Decree has not much opposition, as it would make it easier to make a national census if everyone over the age of 14 already has a passport and is registered by the government/information already inside the passport, making it easier to keep track of numbers. The military and navy are updated with better artillery, and research at Ishmash it done to make a fully automatic Rifle, powered by nothing other than the gas coming from the cartridges. Russian Standard of Living rises, as more Labour Unions are formed, and laws forbid owners to oust workers because of Their relationship to these Unions. South Novorossiya-Novorossiya Rail Track is finishing construction. The Russians Pursue diplomatic Solutions with the Kazakhs, and a decision is reached, allowing for the creation of the State of "Turkmenistan" in the southwest region of the country in 1890, and any citizen of Kazakhstan, if they do not want to be incorporated as Ethnical Guberniyas (which are given the right to chose their governor, or change the name of him to "khan" or "Emir" or whatnot) into the Russian Empire to Migrate freely or immigrate freely until 1892, allowing for 5 years to set up a stable government. IN Prussia, Seeing as if the Swedes take it it will be a threat, Propaganda is sent out to that nation showing Russia as a Benevolent power that gives things to minorities and tries to find compromises, not wanting bloodshed, to counter the Swedish Propaganda about Threats. People begin Preparing Alexander's Son Nicolas for being Tsar after his father's future demise.
 * the Iroquois begin to stabilize the region of Itsahagi directly south of their border.


 * So fast? I've been spreading propaganda there the last three years or more and I haven't taken it. I've claimed it in the Constantinople Confederation, and none has said anything about it.
 * Take a few more years for that. The Iroquois and the Itsaygahian states share very few similarities.
 * Iroquois will Begin to stabilize itsahagi fixed it.,
 * Spain updates its military, and the Naval Expansion project continues apace (It's been running even when I wasn't posting). The government works to upgrade the economy, and sends Spanish troops to retake the colony in Western Australia that Bharat took. Spain begins preparing to invade Morocco (as the Algorithm was never done for the previous invasions, I am starting again) and asks for the help of any interested nations.

1888
The protests continue to escalate in Western China, although they have not yet come to widespread violence. An organization called the Brethren of Turkestan forms, although it is quite small at this point. Meanwhile, smaller micronationalist movements spread through China, in Tibet and Chinese India, and then even begin to creep into the areas south of China. In Russia, Georgian nationalists begin protesting the Russian rule, as to Azers. In the southern half of Armenia, Kurds begin to protest for their independence. In the chaos of the Persian war, ethnic warlords begin to seize control in Persia and in parts of northwest Bharat


 * I am not singling out either Russia or China, they are the closest to Kazakhstan, so the micronationalism would begin there first then spread.


 * I understand, but try to keep the revolts in China to a minimum. I'm planning something big for the end of the dynasty in the early 1900s and I'll have some countries break off at that time.
 * You could say that the revolts were crushed, and then the rebels would slowly build up their strength over the next decade for a second, larger revolt.


 * What I'm doing is being more lax with the protestors, but I am going to make it clear that riots will not be tolerated. If/when this peacefully goes down, there will be a movement to turn China into a Republic. All hell will break loose.


 * Dravidia sends its troops to help the Bharatis against the Spanish attack upon their colony. Meanwhile, Kongo expands by 5000 square kilometers further into the main Kongo nation. Dravidia calls for help from all of its friends and allies against the Spanish, stating that so many Bharatis and Dravidians have immigrated that the land the Spanish want to take is majority Indian now.
 * Italy keeps its offer to Brunei open, to sell them half of the Bornean part of Pahang in return for Singapore. They offer to sell the other half to Russia in return for those small islands to the west of Pahang that Russia owns.
 * Australian Kingdom expands 10,000 sq km east. The local tribes are awarded with boxes of fruits, harvested in the islands of Australia. A huge birthday ceremony is organized for Aussie's first birthday. All villagers and citizens of surrounded New London were invited to state their problems in Australia. After a few days, immigration policy has became open again and new citizens were invited from all over the world. A huge army recruitment is ordered.
 * Bharat hopes that the Kingdom could support it against Spain as Spain have declared war on them. It will be a great chance to build and train a military as well.
 * Persia is forced to agree with a compromise that would end the war once and for all. The country must accept the loss of land, but things could have been worse because bad things are happening now. They begin to declare war on ethnic warlords against those in their homeland.
 * Bharat sends in military support to crush the warlords and asks if the Queen of Persia could get her official residence in Tehran.
 * Sure.
 * Neue Wilhelmsburg expands by 1000 sq km, while Neue Brandenburg itself expands by 10,000 sq km west. A new law is announced that at the death of landed gentry, their heirs have to give up half their land to create self-sustaining communes. The King offers support to Bharat in their war with Persia. Finally, a Nipponese businessman tells the King about the telephone, at which he promptly founds the Royal Neue Brandenburg Telephone Administration (remember, no companies because of socialism).
 * The Koloszvár-Budapest railway continues to be built. The Debrecen-Budapest one also continues to be built, but is almost finished. Meanwhile, Hungary updates its navy, and invites Serbia into a alliance with Greece and Hungary. Serbia accepts. Meanwhile, Ezsák-Afrika expands 13,750 sq km.
 * Uruguay works on it economy and expands 7500 sq km.
 * Newfoundland works on its economy.
 * Egypt updates its navy. The industry expands.
 * Brunei refuses to sell Singapore as it is a vital part of the Bruneian economy and many Bruneians have immigrated to it. Brunei continues to industrializes as factories and cities grow. The African colonies are expanded.
 * Swedish Arabia breaks feww from the caliphate in protest taking Libya with them. Fjordian troops prevent the Caliphate from reattacking. Swedish Arabia requests Swedish protection and Sweden is willing to allow the state to take up position as a puppet of Sweden yet again. Swedish Arabia sends troops to liberate Western Persia from the Caliphate and ensure the survival of Persia; perferably as a vassal of Swedish Arabia which renames itself as just Arabia
 * Okay, this is obviously implausible. Arabia and Fjorlaand, that have nothing in common but have been colonies of the same country, and probably didn't even have diplomatic relations since both independences, allying against the Caliphate, a state that the large Muslim fundamentalist population of Arabia and Libya would support, and, oh, surprise! Sweden is retaking Arabia as puppet, ignoring the fact that they betrayed them before, and now is a liberation war for both Persia and Arabia, the first, an historical ally of Russia, thus, an enemy of Sweden, the second, a former colony that just got independence and now are being led by a minority (according to you large, but still a minority, and a persecued one) to rejoin them. And now you worry about the poor persians (who are happy about being liberated from a Hindu government to join their rightfull Caliph-Shah), and, of course, it will be a vassal of yours. Here, your hunger for territory and vassal, beyond all implausibility or nonsense, comes again.
 * No nation would ever rejoin back as the Puppet state after gaining its independence.
 * Sweden helps the IEC expand into Alaska. The UGS forms a diplomatic union with Czechland and allies with Berlin and Silesia. The actions of Berlin, Czechland and Silesia are explained by the fact that they would perfer Swedish dominance in foreign affairs and military affair as well as a united German state rather than Russian dominance which seems to be a greater possibilty with the threat of war developing . Sweden expands its army and navy. asgard expands southwards by 15250 sq km. Sweden reoffers to Taiwan to sell New Taihoku for the Solomon Islands.
 * This is straight-up ignoring of the moderator event that said the Berlin was opposed to further Swedish expansion into Germany. Specifically Swedish expansion, they would never voluntarily join up with Sweden. First you tried to make your biased moderator events and destroy them, now you are ignoring moderator events to try and get them to join you without an algorithm even.
 * Russia begins to pump more propaganda notmonly into Prussia, to help oppose Swedish Dominanace, Singling out what they did to Finland, Blaming the Massacre of the population on Russia, which they did not commit, and then crack down on any independence movements, when they were granted it free of charge from France, showing Sweden as Hypocritical, and not really preaching that they turn to Russia. They Propose that the Germans Unite to form an Independent Nation. The Russians Recruit a very influential Berliner, Otto Von Bismark, to try to sway public opinion towards the Russian Stance. More Anti-Swedish propaganda Is done in Prussia. Russia is shown to be the "good guy" in them, pointing out the Secondary Rights and Freedoms of the Citizen Act (colloquially called the Minority Rights Act, or MRA), as the pinnacle of freedom, and Showing the Boharist Era as a dark time of the dominance of a Politician, rigging elections to suit his needs and using a name of a man, opposed to the cause, but popular to the people to sell his product to the people, only to have him killed along with the Tsar when he began to oppose him. The Russian Liberals see to show that Russia united is better than a separated one, saying that if anyone separates, thye will crumble to stronger powers, and that Russia Acted as Mediators in the conflict with the old Kazakh Khan, unfortunately killed by some of the Revolters, and his government with the revolutionaries, and incorporating it into the empire, as Ethnical Guberiyas, to Close the leadership gap in that teriotory. The Russians in No way want to incorporate Germany into their empire, but rather Stop Swedish Influence(preferably replacing it with Russian influence, or no outside influence at all). Three proposed Boundries for turkestan are drawn up by the Russian "Mediators" and the Rebels. The First Russian Telephone network gets set up and it quickly grows. Plans to link the exiting pan-Russian telegraph links with telephone lines (for simplicity purposes) begin being in the works, and private networks discuss this with the government. The first link between Moscow Kremlin (The Central Russian (region of Russia) military command is located) and St Petersburg Northern Military command. The military is improved also, with better weapons.
 * Turkmenistan_proposals.png Sweden refutes saying Finland's governor argeed to the annexation due to the Russian led invasion that resulted in 500,000 Finnish deaths. Sweden asks Russia just why and how did 500,000 people die in Finland during the Russian occupation? Sweden has had no independence movements to date from any minorities and any so far have been very small groups merely rabble-rousing. T he United Germanic States is seeking a unified Germany under Swedish protection and already has Czechland and Westphalia on their side. Prussia is asked to recall the period of rapid growth in their history brought on by the Swedish and then the equally rapid period of decline brought on by the harsh Russian treaty which forced the AGC's diminishing power on the Prussians. Prussia is also asked to recall the Swedish support from their independence movement against the AGC and the Swedish volunteers that died on the walls of Berlin trying to free their Prussian brothers.
 * You have no right to control Lx's nation. You have no right to ignore moderator events to facilitate expansion without even an algorithm. And funny that you mention Prussia, where, as I recall, who abused moderator events to try and take them back after you lost them in an algorithm (which was from a war you started when you took territory from the AGC without even using an algorithm. I am sick and tired of your biased moderation, and your implausibility and your intentional ignorance of moderator events. That part about Sweden having no independence movements is going to be untrue very soon.
 * About the fininsh deaths, we were about to ask you the same question(you somehow had this happen, controling what my military did, that I did not agree to, the only way this would happen if you killed most of the dissidents that were supporting Finnish independance). And The Russians had nothing to do with the failure of the Prussian government, and actually tried to stabilize it without causing an international Incident. The parts of Prussia that joined Russia are experiencing a high ammount of economic prosperity after joining the Polsih Confederaiton, and the people more rights and possibilities, with minimum wages, rail links established, and other things like that.

 * The Vietnamese expand their East African colony by 76*50 sq km. The Vietnamese request that the Nipponese help in building a Vietnamese telephone network. The Vietnamese build the first hydroelectric dam on the River. They use this new dam as the catalyst for the development of a comprehensive electrical power grid for Vietnam. The city of Viêng Chăn is the first Vietnamese city to use electrical street lights, as it is the closest to the new electrical dam.

The Nipponese Telephone Company moves into Vietnam to help build a Vietnamese telephone network, connecting it to the Nipponese one via China. The telephone network continues to spread throughout Asia as The Nipponese Telephone Company wins more contracts to build telephone networks in other Asian countries.

 * The Caliphate crushes the Christian rebellion. As the Christian minority inhabits the province right south of Israel, the coast of the previous Swedish Arabia, finally the Caliph-Shah accepts the Israeli offer to buy such land and allow the Jews to take care of the troublesome population. The Caliph offers the governor of Persia to keep his autonomy (this is your chance, RWG, you can take care of the Muslim Persia, but you msut be plausible), though he's still gonna be the Shah, and his word will be stornger in diplomacy and culture. He sends his troops to crush the Persian warlords and take as much land as they can. They still offer the various sovereigns of Kazakhstan to join them and the Caliph would become their Khan. They build up their military.
 * Israel will accept this territory and will let the Caliphate send any Christians and Jews to Israel.

1889
Due to the fact that vast portions of the Finnish population have been killed, yet Russia did not do it even though Sweden blames them, as well as the fact that the micronationalism has spread to Europe, the Finns and the Karelians join forces and carry out a massive revolt against Swedish rule. This results in the United German States declaring its independence from Swedish rule. They are joined by the people of the nation which was once Hanover, in a full-scale revolt against Swedish control in Germany. Prussia announces that they will retain their total independence, but they currently think that it is better to be allied with Russia, as Sweden is having civil war. Meanwhile, the Chinese micronationalism among the Turks has calmed down for now...

A bomb explodes outside the Council of Nobles meetingplace in Copenhagen killing the majority of the nobility in Sweden. The new Emperor was unharmed but is faced with a population hostile to him. Swedish peasants rebel against the Finnish Emperor who loses control of Southern Scandinavia. Compounding that, the runner-up of the throne elections revolts in Denmark taking Northern Germany with him. With communication lines cut the Finnish Emperor is forced to retreat to Stockholm which he holds with an iron grip. Flanders asks for French protection from Danish forces at their border. Denmark manages to secure Southern Scandinavia after the peasant movement falters. England asks Vietnam to join as a client state. Denmark keeps Greenland and Iceland as well as the Arctic Islands north of Canada.

With the collapse of the Swedish state, Sweden's colonies, many with hostile enemies around them, separate from the dying mother nation. Tasmania asks to become a Spanish colony whilst Fjordlaand annexes Wonderlaand east of Fiji. The rest of Wonderlaand goes to Nippon. Thorland joins the nation in Quebec and Asgard asks for Taiwanese/Vietmanese annexation. New Sweden asks to be protected by China. Hawaii returns to Korea.

 * Okay, but I'm still going to have an Empress leading Finland (as Finland has had mostly Female Shoguns and Prime Ministers throughout its existence)

 * Nippon buys the western part of Sweden's Wonderlaand, but the money never reaches the Swedish capital as the revolting peasants capture the cart with the money in it, and this money goes on to fuel the peasant revolt and so they could buy weapons (Needed an in-game reason why Wonderlaand suddenly went to Nippon and buying the colony seemed like a good idea, and the money being stolen by the revolting peasants I thought was a good explanation how the peasants manage to overthrow the Swedish government). Nippon accepts the alliance with Finland and takes back the Swedish trading post in Hirado too, but allows the Swedish traders to continue living in the city. Nippon renames its portion of Wonderland Wandaarando (ワンダーランド) and expands the colony 1000 sq km into the uncolonised bit in the northern most Soloman island.

 * By the end of the year, Thoorland asks for Newfoundlandian protection. The Newfoundlandians then annex them, as it sounds like a great addition to their territory. Thus, some policies are changed soon after.Swedish continues to be the official language in Thoorland, and is added as a second language in the rest of the country, sharing the same status as Nunavimmiutitut on Ungava. The parliament is expanded, and a election is held there to appoint the Thorlaandian representatives to the parliament. The country expands 5000 sq km to connect Labrador and Thoorland.

Electricity now lights Moscow and St Petersburg. A man finds a way to refine Petroleum into gasoline, and a prototype "Internal combustion" Automobile is made using a gasoline engine by a German Named Karl Benz in Russia, that henceforth founds his own company, although this does not go very far at first. The Russian government isinterested in Investing in these "Automobiles" for the royal family. Elections are called for next year. The first political Polls indicate that there is no clear majority, and that the Liberals and the Octobrists are neck-and-neck in the pols at 35% support each, with decimals to diferentiate.

Seminole takes its opportunity to absorb half of both the eastern and central states, though they're not wholly controlled by them, as the remnants of the former anti-Quranist government remain in the north.
 * Bharat's factories continue churning out more civilian materials, like iron and steel to build buildings and other factories while ship production continues at pre-war levels. Work in Bihar finally finishes and its now at par with the rest of Bharat due to the extra focus put on it to help it industrialize. Railroads are constructed and factory construction continues.

 * There is already a colony in San Francisco.
 * China has already claimed all of California, and has done so for more than a hundred years. Also, in fact, you are not allowed to found any new colonies until 1900 due to the 50 year limit. And all land in Borneo has been already taken, you cannot expand new Isafan.

Shogun Aya Tamminen decides to give some of Eastern Sweden autonomy, turning it into the Autonomous Prefecture of Sweden; however upper former Northern Sweden is kept as part of Finland Proper as there is lack of population there. Meanwhile in the Baltic Alliance, Katriin Mägi continues promoting Estonian Paganism; and some Estonians begin converting to it. They also give some of their land back to Russia as well, by request of Empress Yuyuko Seppänen. After that, The Baltic Alliance is renamed into Eesti Vabariik (Republic of Estonia). Lastly, Empress Yuyuko Seppänen asks Russia for an alliance, to hopefully restore Finnish-Russian relations to what it was way before Finland was under Sweden (as in, way back before the Sweden-Finland Union even started).
 * Shogunate of Kōshi continues expanding by 7000 km and continues building infrastructure and continues industrialisation and continues building up military. Empress Kaija Tanaka plans to meet Empress Yuyuko Seppänen of Finland next year for possible future unification of the Finnish colony of Hyvinkää into the Shogunate of Kōshi. Meanwhile Anti-Swedish Sentiment is now noticeable in the Shogunate of Kōshi, as now that Sweden has fallen they finally speak against them out in public without worry. Shogun Helmiina Konpaku is also honest and never liked the Swedes anyway, either. A poll is launched in Republic of Kazami to see what the opinion of Sweden is, during its existance. The results come back and 89% of the Republic of Kazami hated the Swedes, while 9% had no opinions, and the last 2% had some favourable view of Sweden.

The Commonwealth funds pro-commonwealth rebels and the nation expands towards New Spain so a land war can be waged more easily.
 * The USA prepares for war against the native state to the south of them, and begins to annex the nation. (Do I need to do an algorithm for this, or can it just be expansion?)
 * Nippon decides to stay out of the current conflict in Australia but Nippon sends aid to the USA to help them in their war. Papua Nipponia expands too by (5*2,000) 10,000 sq km into central OTL New Guinea, and Gosobudan expands (5*1,000) 5,000 sq km as well. The Nipponese health service is also born, after a new medical tax is brought in; this tax is an optional one but if you pay it you get free health care; whereas if you don't citizens are charged for health care. Most Nipponese citizens opt in for the tax as it makes health care almost 80% cheaper, but some people don't because they don't see themselves always needing health care or simply couldn't afford to be taxed more.

France and Flanders attack Austria to support the USG.
 * Again: Where?
 * Where what? If you're talking about Songhay's expansion, well... it expands in the black areas. If you're talkinga bout what territories I want, the castillian territory in the peninsula.
 * There is no black territory surrounding Songhay except for the one claimed by Oroszlán and the OTL Guinea-Bissau colony.If there is the one east, this is territory east of Akon, not Songhay.
 * AKon is a part of Songhay, as the government became an official colony, but the mapmakers don't fix it.
 * The Castillan territory on what Peninsula?
 * The Republic of Mixxixxipi annexes the state right north of it. Isloque builds up its military

 * The USA continues their war against Muisca, and while the war seems likely to be a US victory, the US highly doubt they could annex Muisca into the USA. The USA draft up a peace treaty and force Muisca to sign. The USA with this treaty annex 7050 sq km of Muisca into the USA, and forces Muisca to pay the USA large war reparations to cover the cost of the US war effort. Muisca is also obliged to use US ports for international trade, which are subject to US tariffs and fees.

 * Denmark continues to expand into OTL Canada by 650 sq km east and west and establishes a seaside trading port in South America. Denmark offers an alliance to Russia and Poland-Lithuania-Belarus again all the meanwhile attempting to get Iceland and the area that was lost to Berlin back. (How can I get this land back? War?) Work begins on a railroad that will span the whole nation and creates the Trans-Denmark Sea Route, that goes from homeland Denmark to Greenland and onwards to OTL Canada, by ships. One of the old King's brothers defeats all the other brothers and secures the throne for himself. The former queen and Crown Prince are exiled. The new King, Harald IV, begins to build up infrastructure, since Denmark is getting weaker as time progresses, orders the construction of more factories since he intends for Denmark to become an industrial powerhouse, and outlaws child labor and gives equal rights to men and women. He also creates a public education system. He also declares war on Iceland to get it back.
 * You are going to need to establish a colony to expand any further into Canada, and I do not think that Denmark has enough colonies to expand that much, even with the bonuses (I think the Swedish gave all of their colonies away when they collapsed). Both of those areas will only be taken back through wars. I'm sorry that your nation is losing territory all over the place, but you did sort of pick a dying empire.
 * Ok, I'll knock off the zeroes. Also, Denmark is already in Canada, if I'm looking at the map correctly. Sweden is divided between Denmark and Finland unless I am correct. I declare war on Iceland. Also, Von did say to me that Denmark was pretty strong around now, so I jumped for it.
 * It's stronger than it was before when Sweden ruled over it, but Denmark now rules over the remains of Sweden, an empire which just imploded, and now micronationalists are appearing all over the empire. It is far from being pretty strong. We ruled that the Canadian islands were the limit of non-colonial expansion for Sweden, and to expand on the mainland would require colonies.
 * France builds up its military. The French will back Denmark in any attempt to retake tha lands stolen by Berlin. Nouvelle-France expands 77,625 sq km.

 * Dravidia expands Kongo by 21,000 square kilometers along the Kongo River. The Dravidians send a great deal of Hindu missionaries into Afghanistan to help the Bharatis. They find that Afghanistan is slowly polarizing, with approximately equal amounts of Hindus and Muslims, both becoming more extreme. They also find that the Sikh minority is fearful for their lives in the case of a religious civil war and needs somewhere to immigrate too. The small Zoroastrian minority joins the others in the Mumbai area.

 * The Commonwealth of Eetoria and Ngainkeha continues expanding inland and the commonwealth's cotton and textile industries are some of the world's largest, thanks to the growing, spinning and distribution of cotton all being done in the commonwealth; and then all the cotton is then being manufactured into textiles in the country too.

The US military is amped up to deal with these Muiscan rioters, in case they turn into revolutionaries or terrorists.
 * Sunda amps up its military as part of its modernization programme.
