2009
Americas: Europe: Africa: Asia:
 * Tensions grow between nations.
 * Finland suffers a recession and people say to sell there oversea lands to other countries.
 * Tensions grow in Dutch Belgium of independence.
 * People in the British Isles are still recovering from the 4th British War between England (supported by oversea powers) vs Scotland and Ireland. England won that war.
 * The Caliphate continues to grow with the current size of it being South Syria, South Iraq, Arabia, Qatar, Yemen, Oman, Egypt, North Sudan, Libya, Tunisia, East Algeria and North Chad. This is considered as the Caliphates height.
 * Most countries on Earth now are fighting the Caliphate.
 * Protests begin in Bangladesh.
 * The Russo-Japanese border conflicts begin with Russia making tiny gains. This damages the relationship between Japan and Russia.

2008
Americas: Europe: Africa: Asia: '''It is ASB for the Pharoes to last 4,000 years. Also, I've been trying to explain in prevoius turns that the Caliphate has been around for a long time because it's height was 2009 so it wouldn't be founded in 2008. Also, Finland owning Australia, can't happen because you haven't said that England was owning it in prevoius turns. Everything else is fine so you won't be getting a warning for an ASB turn.''' ~ AH28
 * Talks about the division of North America among the continental powers break down as representatives misunderstand the Western Canadians' statement that "we'll have Nunavut."
 * Debates over the ownership of the OTL US's many island territories cause the formerly allied Northern Confederacy, Western States and Southern Republic to become more hostile toward each other.
 * La Gran Guerra ends, with the nations of the former Gran Colombia forming into Colombia (which claims all the lands held by the former Gran Colombia and then some), Ecuador, Peru, Guinea and Suriname. One of the former Gran Colombian states is so heavily bankrupted by the conflict that it agrees to allow France to purchase it wholesale, becoming French Guiana.

 * Scotland is able to fight the English to a stall and call for peace talks, with the war officially ending on November 5th. The day will forever be remembered, with many honoring the signing of the treaty with the ever-popular phrase "remember, remember."

 * The Yugoslav Wars end, with the small successor states left behind forced to reconstruct themselves from the ground up from failing economies and war-torn ruins.
