Principia Moderni II (Map Game)

Principia Moderni, or "The Beginning of the Modern" in Late Latin, was a map game beginning in the final days of the Middle Ages in Europe, and the early days of the Ming Dynasty in China -- in 1420 C.E, a turbulent era; in other words, an era of change; an era in which power is cemented. The first game was perhaps the most successful map game on the wiki in terms of length, finishing without dying and plausible expansions. However, it did have its problems, and it is now finished. Thus, this second game has been created. Welcome to Principia Moderni II.

Signups
All nations without names by them may be taken by new players immediately. Nations with normal names by them may not be taken by new players as they are already established main player nations, and cannot be played without permission or a revolt. Bolded names are international unions, with member states indented below. Tribal Names are italicized, and areas which are fragmented by being small states are underlined. Nations in civil disarray or collapsing nations have an attached note. If a player's name has a * besides it, it means that nation is a vassal/former colony that a player is controlling but is willing to let someone else play as if asked. Areas which ** are mod-controlled and players must ask permission to play them.

1540

 * Portugal's PMII1540.pngmic situation improves, and in Brasil, Pará expands 600 sq km, Potengi expands 200 sq km west, and Nhoesembé expands 400 sq km south. Meanwhile, São Vicente expands 650 sq km from São Paulo de Piratininga, and Rio Grande expands 650 sq km south. In Antília, São Tomé expands 500 sq km northwest. Meanwhile, in Portugal, Faro is elevated to city status.
 * The Manchurians expand their New Manchuria colony.
 * Nippon-koku expands more into 霊烏路 (Reiuzi) (Kamchatka). The Satomi Clan build their military up and continue fighting the Kagawa. Also, the Mononobe clan and Rokkaku clan continue building up, and plan to start attacking the Oda clan next year. Meanwhile, 沖縄國 (Okinawa Kingdom) builds up their military. Also, 幽谷 (Kasodani) expands by 100 km and 東海道 (Tōkaidō) expands by 100 km.
 * The Mayan Empire expands northwards along the coast, skirting around the Aztec territory to avoid confrontation. Xaman expands by 20 km.
 * Naples: The King is very happy for the occupation of Granada, and is now a new vassal. The economy is still in development. The army collaborates with the Inca Empire with weapons and training for the army and work together on common goals to conquer. We are waiting for Castille's response!!!
 * Savoy: The Kingdom continues to trade with Africa and strengthens all the factories. The African fleet continues to assist local tribes in exchange for promises of loyalty and further facilities to get products, and in a few years will build the first colony in Africa. We accept part of the Milan position.
 * Bosnia and Serbia: The army continues to grow in size and expand military construction throughout the Grand Duchy. Meanwhile, the fleet is dedicated to fighting pirates that interfere with trade over all the Mediterranean Sea. We ask Byzantium again if they want to join us in a dynastic union, because we are related by royal blood.
 * Inca Empire: Inca Manco II expands his economy. The first colony of the Empire is established on Chiloe, and one expedition helped by the Naples fleet is exploring the southernmost part of the continent in order to establish another colony there.
 * Lakota: The Lakota stop settling the Great Lakes area for now and begin to focus on Infrastructure, Economy, Game and Military. The Lakota's despot Chieftains came together to decide on the good of the people and decided to halt all settling eastward and focus rebuilding the nation. The Elders agree as well.
 * Cyprus records its second year of growth economically. More olives, cheese and wine are exported. The King suddenly dies and Princess Eleftheria becomes heir to the throne. She shall be coronated next year.
 * Ethiopia continues development of its navy, developing plans to construct a long-range vessel in the near future for trips to Europe and Far East Asia.
 * France: Bourbon rule over France weakens, as the Auvergne Army takes down multiple strongholds. Thanks to support from Burgundy and the Papal States, France may be ruled by its proper master within two years.
 * Scandinavia expands its army and navy; they build up their economy and infrastructure, with new roads being built. Nya Sverige grows by 250 sq miles, Nye Norge by 500 sq miles north and west, and the rest is split by ND. Residents in Slesvig-Holsten and Svenska Pommern (Swedish Pomerania) are inspired by the conversions of Altmark and Mecklenburg and the Kappelist population rises slowly but surely. The Saalskap Av Bukten Erik continues its operations. The governor of Slesvig-Holsten (Erik IV, Prince of Finland) deports some Kappelists in his territory to a penal fort used solely for jailing purposes in the Caribbean (island of Hispaniola). King Erik sympathizes with the Dutch and funds them in secret. The actions of Erik IV in Slesvig-Holsten inspire the governor of Svenska Pommern to deport some Kappelists as well, though to a different nearby island (Jamaica). The deportations seem to be working. However, underground Kappelist movements plague Svenska Pommern and Slesvig-Holsten. The Representanhuset of Nya Sverige passes headright grant laws, inspiring many to immigrate to the rich fields of the Bukten Erik region. The Prince of Norway marries the Princess of Muscovy in a grand ceremony in Stockholm. Expeditions return from the Indian Ocean and Africa. Contact is made with Ethiopia.
 * Caliphate Provinces of Candar, Rumelia, Anatolia, and Wallachia: Economic and military buildup continues. The four Provinces begin supporting the reorganization of the Caliphate into the Confederation of Islam. This would allow the Muslim world to stay united for much longer. The four provinces ask the nations of Europe for free trade, and a more pro-west feeling begins to grow, although anger is still felt fully with the backstabbing (UN)Holy Roman Empire. The four provinces begin to be collectively called the Ottoman States/provinces.
 * Brandenburg continues to build is military and economy, so on and so forth. A bishop turns Kappelist and flees Brandenburg. His location is currently unknown. Meanwhile Neu Berlin expands by 1000 sq km.
 * Burgundy:Expansion of the colonies continue: New Antwerp (Continental 750 sq km, Insular 250 sq km), Brasilea, 1000 sq km. Vassalization of Cambray continues, and the aid to the French continues as well.
 * Castilla make the colony of Oro Province expands farther 200 kilometers, while Trinidad and Tobago is fully occupied; Colony of Amazonas Province expands another 300 km, and the establishment in Sao Luis OTL. The army recruit more troops.

1541
''' The Korean Empire collapses into anarchy after the former Emperor dies childless. The former Manchurian territories opt to rejoin the homeland in order to escape the chaos engulfing Korea. The provincial governor of Formosa declares the independence of the Empire of Formosa, seizing the Korean territory in the Philipines. NOTE: This isn't due to any personal feelings towards Korea and Pita. This is because he's evidently become much more interested in Axis Vs Allies than this game. If you can't post at least once during a business week you become inactive.'''

''' Segalenic theology becomes more and more popular in Britanny, and spreads further to Ireland and England and the rest of France. '''

''' A group of bishops gathers together to demand that a holy war begin against the various Protestant theologies sweeping Europe. '''


 * OK, we need to have some religious war going on, everyone is acting far too peaceful in Europe.


 * Portugal's economy somehow continues to improve. Meanwhile in Brasil, Pará expands 450 sq km, Tremembé expands 400 sq km west, while it gains some of the westernmost territory of Ceará on a rearranging of the borders. Bahia expands 45 sq km inland from São Salvador, and São Vicente expands 600 sq km from São Paulo de Piratininga. Meanwhile, the almost abandoned village of Santo André da Borda do Campo is absorbed by São Paulo de Piratininga. Meanwhile, Rio Grande expands 550 sq km south, and in Antília, São Tomé expands 550 sq km northwest. Meanwhile, the attempts to arrange a royal marriage for Dinis end up with an agreement with the Auvergnian France.
 * Brandenburg's secret police discovers the renegade Bishop in Mecklenburg. They bring him back. He is given a trial that seems fair to outsiders, containing three Catholics, three Orthodox and three Kappelists (Catholic actors, really). He is sentenced to death! He is executed by poison intake. Meanwhile, the military continues to build up and Neu Berlin expands 1000 sq km. (Neu Berlin should be massive now, but yet I am still limited to the eastern half of Long Island.)
 * Be realistic, it's been less than 30 years since that colony was founded. You can't own all of New York in that amount of time. Besides, two other countries have colonies in the surrounding area that may or may not have expanded into the area because here, New York does not exist so its boundaries are not set.
 * Either you must not be seeing the map well, or you are looking at the wrong map. Your colony already spans the northern coast of New Jersey in 1540. Please.
 * Nippon-koku expands more into 霊烏路 (Reiuzi) (Kamchatka). The Satomi Clan builds their military up and continues fighting the Kagawa. Also, the Mononobe clan and Rokkaku clans launch an attack against the Oda clan, achieving some minor victories. Meanwhile, 沖縄國 (Okinawa Kingdom) builds up its military. Also, 幽谷 (Kasodani) expands by 100 km and 東海道 (Tōkaidō) expands by 100 km.
 * The United Kingdoms of Bavaria and Thuringia: expands industry. The Bavarina Bankgruppe grows. Talks begin in attempts to ask the free city of Ulm to join Bavaria. If they refuse, Bavaria may attack. Christmas mass has a great turnout despite the Pope's inability to attend. Hopes are that next year he might be available. The King contines to focus on unification tactics while having a panel of religous advisors, comprised of four Catholics and three Kappelists, oversee religious matters. The King is still secretly sympathetic of Kappelist causes but his loyalty to the Empire is stronger and he remains Catholic. Alliance offers are sent to France.
 * The Principality of Baltica becomes independent, sets and renames capital Talinn. Using resources left over from former rule, The Principality starts to immediately work on metalworks and science. Factory constructions begin. Alliance offers to Lx
 * Novgorod works on the metalurgy industry and the icebreaker Bogatyr.
 * The Mayan Empire asks its ally Burgundy to aid in the attack on the Aztecs, so their threat can once and for all be extinguished. In return, the Empire will gift to Burgundy an exclave on the Gulf of Maya (as the Mayans have begun calling it.). Xaman expands 15 km. The army is bulked up in preparation for the invasion.
 * The Aztecs are gone and you have vassalized the Mixtecs.
 * But they're still expanding. Is it just a weaker tribe?
 * The Aztecs were effectively a non-entity in local matters for decades.
 * So, do I still need to go to war or can I just expand right into their territory?
 * About the "enclave" part, it doesn't make sense. An enclave is completely surrounded by another nation's territory. The thing you have is actually an exclave. And, you still need to go to war, as they are a relatively stable nation, according to the map.
 * Okay, thank you.
 * The Manchurians expand their New Manchuria colony.
 * You only just got all that old Manchurian territory back from Korea, don't you think you should wait a little longer until you start taking over Korea itself? I mean all of those Korean dynasties would be fighting to decide who is the next ruler of Korea but they'd rather a Korean than a Manchurian. Manchuria's hold over its newly regained territory will need to be enforced first before moving onto Northern Korea.
 * I'll delay my actions in Korea, but they will happen within a few years.
 * Lakota: The Lakota begin to build up military along with extensive training. The Chiefs and Elders meet again but the topic of the meeting is unknown.
 * Venice continues to build the Venetian Cathedral with construction having begun nearly 50 years ago. The structure towers into the sky and is visible from the Italian mainland and all areas of the lagoon. The chief architect decides to install a beacon in the bell tower for ships at night replacing the old Venetian lighthouse. Nuovo Treviso expands 1000 sq km east and Nuovo Venexia expands 500 sq km in Cuba and 500 sq km northwards on the East Coast.
 * Castilla makes the colony of Oro Province expand farther 200 kilometers, while Trinidad and Tobago is fully occupied (Show on the map). Colony of Amazonas Province expands another 300 km, and also the establishment in Sao Luis OTL. The army recruits more troops. The King and his son travel to the ally Kingdom of Naples to make the first union Act for the future union of the two countries (This is my answer).
 * Scotland's infrastructure is improved by King Charles, who also begins to allow Segalenic theology to begin to enter the Church of Scotland.   Charles sends more explorers to Antillia, and decides that Scotland should found a colony somewhere.
 * Papal States: (been so busy lately, need to post more) - The Pope continues his efforts to promote Catholicism in heretic-torn Europe. Recently, he has collected several hundred letters concerning beginning a holy war to end the heresy once and for all, and contemplates with the Church if one should be started. The majority of the members agree to another holy war (Sorry, it needed to be done), and the Pope orders the improvement of mostly military efforts, with ships being prepared. He anticipates to declare war on the Kappelists in the next year, and secretly sends word of the war to pure Catholic nations. The Pope apologizes to Bavaria for his absence during Christmas mass, but assures the nation that the still-pure Catholics of the nation are in his prayers during the season.
 * Saxony: (Hello everyone, Saxony's posts will become more regular from now on): Prince Otto, seeing as he has received no answers to his marriage proposals, marries a local noblewoman. She soon gives birth to a son, named Frederick-Karl, who will eventually succeed the Electorship. Meanwhile, the army (back from Bohemia) expands. The colonies also expand, and another ship is built to ferry colonists and trade goods.
 * Anhalt: The Prince is (still) exceptionally happy with his granddaughter's marriage to the King of Brandenburg, and hopes that it will result in closer relations between the Wettins and Brandenburg. The army is upgraded.
 * Archbishopric of Anhalt: The Archbishop, emboldened with his large army filled with Catholic refugees, adds his voice to those of the other bishops calling for a holy war against the many heresies.
 * Naples: The King is very happy for the travel of the King of Castille. The army grows. Colonies expand fully.
 * Savoy: The Kingdom continues to trade with Africa and strengthens all the factories. The African fleet keep their presence in the Kongo coast for trade and also future factories. The army retreats from Swiss lands.
 * Bosnia and Serbia: The army continues to grow in size and expand military construction throughout the Grand Duchy. We start to send toops to Granada to make control stronger.
 * Inca Empire: Inca Manco II expands his economy. The colony of Chiloe expands all over the island, and is looking for another place to found a colony (also, Galapagos is mine).
 * Scandinavia expands its army and navy; they build up their economy and infrastructure, with new roads being built. Nya Sverige grows by 250 sq miles, Nye Norge by 500 sq miles north and west, and the rest is split by ND. The Saalskap Av Bukten Erik continues its operations. The governor of Slesvig-Holsten deports some Kappelists in his territory to a penal fort used solely for jailing purposes in the Caribbean (island of Hispaniola). King Erik sympathizes with the Dutch and funds them in secret. The governor of Svenska Pommern deports some Kappelists as well, though to a different nearby island (Jamaica). The deportations seem to be working. The Representanhuset of Nya Sverige passes headright grant laws, inspiring many to immigrate to the rich fields of the Bukten Sverige region. Expeditions return from the Indian Ocean and Africa. Contact is made with Ethiopia. King Erik meets with the Doge of Venice and discusses his plans with him. Secret funding of pro-independence nobles - rebels in Bosnia/Serbia and Granada begins. The Prince of Finland calls a meeting of his family in Lubeck to tour his fine port city. Tragedy strikes the Scandinavian realm when the carriage of the Royal family is intercepted by armed men. The Prince of Finland, the Prince of Denmark and the Prince of Norway are executed by a Kappelist group in revenge for the deportations and killings of Kappelists in Slesvig-Holsten by the late governor Erik IV (Prince of Finland). Luckily the other Royal children were in other places. Queen Christina was in Turku with Aleksander, Duke of Stockholm when he contracted pneumonia and died later that week. The overwhelming tragedy places the entire realm in mourning and King Erik commissions a family mausoleum in Stockholm. After the deaths of their loved ones, the Royal couple fall into a deep depression. Theresa, Erik IV's wife moves back to Brandenburg but has a special apartment in the Royal Palace. The Princess of Anhalt also moves back to her homeland. The Princess of Muscovy interestingly enough stays in Stockholm. After the murders, Victoria, Princess of Sweden rises to the status of heiress assumptive but will not be given the title Princess of Finland since Theresa of Brandenburg still legally holds the title. She returns from Lisboa with her husband Crown Prince Pedro of Portugal to be with the King and Queen.
 * Tibet: The new Cheuyong Heu government finally stabilises. Economic buildup is the focus for Tibet and all its vassals, except for the Wacheng exclave, where the navy is built up. New monastries are also built in Wacheng, Ava and Bhutan.
 * Cyprus continues to expand its army and navy. Princess Eleftheria I marries a local nobleman, and a great celebration occurs. The Queen is worried about the ongoing hostilities in Europe and will join the side of the 'pure' Catholics if war breaks out in Europe.
 * Caliphate Provinces of Candar, Rumelia, Anatolia, and Wallachia: Economic and military buildup continues. The four Provinces begin supporting the reorganization of the Caliphate into the Confederation of Islam. This would allow the Muslim world to stay united for much longer. The four provinces ask the nations of Europe for free trade, and a more pro-west feeling begins to grow, although anger is still felt fully with the backstabbing (UN)Holy Roman Empire. The four provinces begin to be collectively called the Ottoman States/provinces.
 * The Caliphate Province of Circassia works on expanding its economy but the province increases in unrest with Muslim rule from Mecca.
 * The Caliphate Province of Al-Slaveit works on its military. A group of Orthodox separatists start plotting a succession revolution as they see the Caliphate's hold over its Empire weakening.
 * The Caliphate Province of Georgia works on its military. A revolt breaks out against the Muslim rulers and they are harshly defeated.
 * The Caliphate Province of West Qoyunlu works on its military.
 * The Caliphate Province of East Qoyunlu works on its economy benefiting from supplying the Timurids with arms and helping them to develop their emirate.
 * The Caliphate Province of Cilicia works on its economy.
 * The Caliphate Province of Persia builds up its economy. Religious tensions between the Muslims and Zoroastrians grow and the idea of the creation of a Zoroastrian state gains more popularity with the nationalist Zoroastrians.
 * The Caliphate Province of Iraq works on its building up its economy.
 * The Caliphate Province of Trebizond works on its military.
 * The Caliphate Province of Karaman builds up its military.

''' The Mossi empire expands to the south, establishing a long border with their neighbours Songhai. The two neighbouring nations sign a new alliance and trading pact this year too. '''
 * Portugal's economy continues to improve.

 * You are not Emperor, must be an election first.
 * The Imperial Government orders the larger and more powerful states to attack the Kappelist states nearest to them, and that those near to one shall support. Brandenburg is ordered to reinvade Mecklenburg, this time with Saxon aid, and that of the two states that border Mecklenburg whose names I know not, hereon referred to as X and Y. Meanwhile Venice is ordered into Miland.
 * You cant order invations, only the conclave.
 * Lakota: The Lakota continue their war on the Ute with some good results but elders see that it will take a great year or two to have the Ute people subjugated. Millitary is expanded and more troops are sent south to the Ute lands.

They install a Korean nobleman as King Yuri the Second of Kokuryŏ. They also continue efforts to stabilize the reclaimed Manchurian territory. Since this territory I'd mostly settled by Manchurians the processes have been going very well.

 * Bosnia and Serbia: The army continues to grow in size and expand military construction throughout the Grand Duchy. All the nobles sing an Act: they will give their life for the king!!!
 * That is metagaming and not possible. Nations like Bosnia-Serbia would not like being subordinate to other nations that have a different culture.
 * Granada: All Granada is under the control of elite army, and also the population is happy with the new goverment, because they have more freedom of trade, cultural and religion.
 * Read what i said for Bosnia. Not possible. Especially since Granada is Muslim. Besides, you're metagaming.
 * Agreed, you can do something like that via a coup or revolution or invasion by another state. But that would NEVER happen willingly.
 * Inca Empire: Inca Manco II expands his army.
 * Papal States: Debate strikes in Rome about whether to start a war yet, and many believe Rome is not fortified enough to begin attacks. The Pope promises to wait one more year before starting a war, and makes major fortifications both militarily and navally. He writes letters to the Catholic leader's nations (mostly of the HRE, but includes France and England), explaining his firm belief that God's One True Word will triumph over the heresies brought forth by Kappel and his followers, and that a war will end in the Catholic's favour. Meanwhile, a Papal sailor from Provence visits the Pope and explains his wish to explore the New World, in order to better preserve the Catholic faith across the world. The Pope will give his blessings for such a voyage (and perhaps a settlement) once the war ends and Catholicism reigns triumphant. (a mod event for the war would be better than me posting, so that players can start declaring war. May the "best religion" win!)
 * Cyprus continues to expand its army and navy. More preparations are made to send ships towards Antilia and Atlantia. The Queen is extremely worried about possible war breaking out between the 'pure' Catholic and Orthodox states and the 'radical' Kappelist nations.

 * ​As a Muslim nation you would be too happy to just watch and wait as the Christian sects kill each other
 * Agreed, stricken out for implausibility. Not only would these Muslim nations not care about the sects of Christianity killing each other, you aren't able to reach Bavaria as the nations around it are Catholic and wouldn't allow this.
 * I f Bavraim wins, Christianitys power will be broken, allowing the Caliphate to do what it pleases without fear of Christain meddling.
 * ​Venice continues to expand its economy with investment in the Fugger banks. The Doge is assassinated and investigations so the assassin was funded by a member of the Italian League. In response, Venice tightens border security and relations grow foul with Milan and Naples as fingers are pointed. Venice expands Nuovo Treviso by 1000 sq km westwards and Nuovo Venexia expands 1000 sq km northwards. A new Doge, Raulo Mediate is sworn in and he commissions an expedition to discover the mythical city of Shangri-La hidden to the west of China and to the north of India. The expedition with carry numerous technological gifts should they happen of the legendary city.
 * The Byzantine Empire readjusts to Venetian rule and the Steward asks Venice for help establishing a colony. A small Byzantine fleet sails to Jamaica and builds an outpost. Venetian ships continue to supply it and it grows by 200 sq km over the year. Byzantium begins to repair its fortification system.


 * I don't think that Byzantium could colonize that early. My accounts, according to the algorithm, give 1545 as the number, but I think that Byzantium would have to wait until later. And plus, Jamaica is already colonized by the Maya. Without counting that the guy who plays as Byzantium just came back, and you can't control the nation, as he isn't gone.
 * Those above points are true, you can't just take away somebody else's nation from them, that is probably the most heinous crime you can do on a map game. Never mind the fact Byzantium is in no position to colonize.
 * He did leave for over a week... As per the agreement we had, Byzantium would return to me if he left. Since he is back then I will retcon the last two turns. Scandinator (talk)
 * We dont have any agreement... Zengu (talk) 06:57, December 8, 2012 (UTC)

 * Would a mod mind helping me with the algorithm? I have no idea where to start.
 * The King of The UK of Bavaria and Thuringia orders the nation to mobilise the military but not to war with any surrounding states. The King states that only a freely elected Emperor can order HRE states against other states. The King grows worried of an increased threat of war, as the nation is fairly evenly divided between Kappelists and Catholics. The King(a sypathiser) for Kappelists asks the Bishop of Bavaria to travel to Rome and convince the Pope to not start a war. Fearing the faliure of diplomacy infrastructure and defensive barricades are constructed. (note, Bavaria as an open Kappelist nation was retconned some time ago, the nation is de jure Catholic but de facto Kappelist. Should war break, Bavaria will have to side with the Kappelist nations)

Officers are found for two Serf Divisions. The Divisions are armed with pikes, and given marion helmets, jerkins and their first pay.  Forts around the country are prepared for the war which seems now unavoidable.

The Formosans compensate by expanding their territory in the Philipines, and by settling the unoccupied island of Hainan.

 * I'm sorry, but I believe the event is flawed by the lack of an emperor. Callumthered (talk)


 * I see it more flawed by the fact that right now even after several years - if not decades, even in the Kappelist Duchies, there would be more Catholics than Kappelists, at least that's what I think Sine dei gloriem (talk) 01:33, December 9, 2012 (UTC)


 * That's a good point, how much and how quickly does the religion of the rulers effect the populace? Callumthered (talk)


 * Fairly fast, all the places that converted to Kappelism are going to be predominately Kappelist now.   The fact is, the religious war should have begun a decade or more ago, but people keep trying to put it off because they don't want their nations to be damaged in a war.


 * I (the Papal States) brought it up several times when I was able to post, mostly saying that "the Pope will give his blessing to begin the second crusade next year," but considering the mod events wouldn't start it I was just left sitting there. Could we get a definite date on when the war should begin?


 * Callum is right. We need a new Emperor. Meanwhile we have an interim Emperor, but he has no rights.


 * Until there is a Holy Roman Emperor this event is impossible.

However, in the fringe of the Syrian province, tensions continue brewing with the Christian lords in Lebanon and the Euphrates begin to openly support Christian missionaries in Syria and Iraq, either Nestorian or otherwise (Catholic, Orthodox, Kappelist, Coptic, Segalenist or even Klausian). While this angers the Emir, he does not do anything in caution of an open revolt and hostility from the European nations.
 * The Caliphal province of Palestine continues improving its economy as a middle point between Egypt and Syria.

A small settlement, named Wettinsburg, is established on the OTL Island of New Providence, on the spot of OTL Nassau. A small fort is built, trade begins with the natives, and tobacco begins to be produced. The Tobacco trade of the other two settlements is doing well.


 * Impossible, Saxony doesn't have a sea port. If Saxony doesn't have a coastline then it can't make colonies: rule breaks are not allowed.
 * They can. I'm aiding them by providing them transportation and a free pass through my coastline as Burgundy. Sine dei gloriem (talk) 01:03, December 10, 2012 (UTC)
 * No they can't, Saxony needs to have its OWN coastline.

While this, the Now Regent Helena, sends Embassadors to The French to determine the land that will be ceeded to the Duchy, to connect with the Exclave of Dijon. While this, despite the Majority of Catholics in the duchy, the Duchess helena of burgundy, states: "At this Crisis that we are, we must not Hesitate on what is true, yet we shall not fight our brothers for their sins, after  all hasn't the Bible said "do not judge or you'll be judged?" and even more, we must avoid that our Empire fell apart for the misconceptions of ones, and in the case of war Burgundy will not join any side unless provoked, and if the situation is prolonged, for the sake of the duchy we will Resign the Empire", as well as officializing the beginning of the Annexation of guelders.

'''The powerful ruling family of Lauenburg, alongside their dynastic partners in Hesse-Wolfenbuttel, lead the official creation of a secret Kappelist league. The member states of the league begin supplying the Kappelist nationalist movement in Freisland. The league members also vow to help one another in wars by sending fellow member states either military aid or supplies, depending on the situation.'''
 * The Kappelist league members are Brunswick, Lauenburg, Hesse-Wolfenbuttel, Paderborn, Nassau, Strassburg, Munster, Breman, Altmark and Mecklenburg.
 * Player nations which are Kappelist can join this league as well (e.g. The United Kingdoms of Bavaria and Thuringia) and the only reason I didn't put you in this list automatically is because I can't force your country into diplomatic relations like that.


 * Why would there be if Friesland is part of Burgundy and most of the Kappelist fleed to Neu Antwerp as well that Friesland was annexed decades ago, and it's pretty much Secular though de jure Catholic Sine dei gloriem (talk) 01:48, December 10, 2012 (UTC)
 * Because an entire religious group won't just get up and leave. Some will remain. However, just because they are supplying them, doesn't mean they will succeed ~Von.


 * Milan should be part of the Kappelist League, the same with the Kappelian groups in Switzerland. Is Austria Kappelist?, Bohemia?. - Bauglir
 * If they are player nations then make a post about them joining and add them to the list. As for Bohemia, I think they are currently too extreme Kappelist for this league. Maybe in future if they go more moderate though. I'll have some more NPC nations join the league next turn though ~Von.

 * Caliph Muhammad ibn Muhammad has his 18th birthday this year but announces that he will let the regency rule until he has graduated from military school. The people are shocked by this as they have to endure more corrupt regency rule, but it inspires some as they see the Caliph waiting until he is fit for the job. This optimism that the Caliph will be a highly enlightened ruler spreads as some of the corruption of the regency is destroyed and ministers prosecuted. The regency, however,are greatly displeased as they see their empire crumbling away. Desperate to hold onto power, they begin talking of a coup d'etat...
 * Lakota: Lakota starts occupying and taking Ute land while converting them to Lakotan traditional beliefs and customs.

Secret funding of pro-independence nobles - rebels in Bosnia/Serbia and Granada continues in conjunction with Venice. Its been several years since artists have been garnering attention and King Erik(whom is 61 now) declares himself a patron of the arts. A famous artist by the name of Bjorn Nyborg is among the most prominent in the cultural center of Stolkholm. He begins work on several paintings. In the rising cultural center of Oslo, a woman named Britta Klingenberg opens an art studio... The banking and shipping industry in the country, after 2 years of decline, begin to thrive again.
 * The United Kingdoms of Bavaria and Thuringia announces covertly to the Kappelist league, they will aid the Kappelist revolutionaries and if war breaks out, side with the Kappelist nations. Secret messages are sent to Milan and Genoa asking for support. The King endorses John of Burgundy for Emperor. The military expands. Fortifications are constructed along the borders. The King reaffirms that the UK will not attack Saxony or Anhalt, despite religous differences. The King still maintains he is Catholic, although he greatly sympathizes the Kappelists. Aid is sent secretly to Switzerland to aid the Kappelist revolts.
 * Saxony: The Elector, exceedingly glad of Bavaria's assurances of non-invasion, reciprocates, stating that Saxony and all other Wettin domains will not attack the UKBT of any other Wittelsbacher lands.

 * Anhalt: The Prince, also relieved by Bavaria's assurances, uses the breething space permitted by them to give his army a last-minute touch up with regards to supplies, armour and armament.

 * OK thanks! It will be edited. 
 * Question regarding colonisation: I (Saxony) established my colonies a LONG time ago, using Burgundian ships. I find it QUITE annoying that only now, 23 years later, am I being told that it is impossible. Bavaria did the same thing, using IMG and Brandenburger ships, so, unless their colonies have been unmade, I think it quite unfair that mine should be. Regards, Callumthered (talk) 11:09, December 10, 2012 (UTC)
 * Both of you and Tibet are not allowed to establish colonies without a coastline. It is in the rules and on the talk page. 
 * I retconned mine years ago because it didnt fit the rules.
 * I didn't notice it your rule breaks earlier so all of that stuff has never happened officially. Those are the rules, so that stuff is removed/ignored. I apologize for not noticing it sooner. But you should really check the rules to see if questionable things like that are allowed ~Von.
 * if i ceded him a small portion of the friesland coastline. will he be able to keep his colonies ? Sine dei gloriem (talk) 20:18, December 10, 2012 (UTC)
 * No, because he won't be able to reach this exclave, and plus, i doubt his capacity of sustaining a colony having no navy.--Collie Kaltenbrunner (talk) 20:37, December 10, 2012 (UTC)
 * Ok, well, If Bavaria's were retconned, then I don't mind. Sorry for the trouble. Callumthered (talk) 
 * And anyway you would have had to do it 23 years ago. 
 * Well, I thought that the notion of Bavaria having colonies without coastline nor navy was too ludicrous to be on the map, so it probably isn't.
 * Yes, true, I don't believe they are. Again, dreadfully sorry, I'll read the rules more thoroughly next time. Callumthered (talk)
 * Venice continues to upgrade its infrastructure. Southern Tyrolia breaks away from the main section due to religious and cultural differences and joins Venice. The remaining part of Tyrolia is Kappelist and Austrian. Venice states it will not war with the Kappelist HRE states as they are not a threat to us. Nuovo Treviso expands 1000 sq km west.

 * Muscovy sends out diplomats to the HRE, urging them to be peaceful, while at the same time setting up revolutionaries in the countries they don't like (because I'm mean like that). The revolutionaries are mainly set up in the smaller Catholic states, but in order to aid our faithful allies Brandenburg, the largest is set up in Mecklenburg, and urges annexatuion by Brandenburg. Dimitri (the composer) is killed. It is suspected that he had an opium addiction, and this killed him, though most refuse to believe this. The economy improves.
 * Poland builds up the navy. Opium trading, though somewhat stopped by the death of Dimitri, continues full flow in Europe, where Russia is one of the few sources of the drug that these people can't get enough of.
 * Papal States: Before the Pope can initiate a crusade, he passes away in January. A new Pope, born in Bavaria, whose family fled to Rome to avoid the Kappelists, is named Pope Sergius V soon after. He believes that a crusade upon the HRE until the perfect moment, either when the Holy Roman Emperor initiates it, or if the HRE collapses into sovereign heretic and Catholic states. He does continue his efforts, however, to improve the faith building in western Europe, and is pleased that nations like France are still pure to the Catholic faith. Nations that have converted to the heresy are visited less, and more efforts are enforced to ensure the faithful nations of Europe remain pure to the One True Faith. Priests are sent to Cape Alfons as well, who notice that Muslims have begun spreading their faith in the southern region. Meanwhile, a crew of about twenty sailors voyage in the name of the Pope, and visit an island which the inhabitants call "". The sailors return to Rome and explain to the Pope of the dangers of the people, that they believe in false gods and that their practices were inhuman. If there is extra funding in the next few years, the Pope promises that a larger crew can voyage to the island to convert the inhabitants by force, and if there is wealth to be found in the island, may be colonized.

 * You can't withdraw a nomination. Your votes are going to yourself, and we are winning. We need an Emperor so we can fight the damn war and do something unless the mods ruin us through civil war.

 * Well, you can't just ask. For a dynastic union, you would have to get somebody from your dynasty, regardless of whoever it may be on the other nation's throne, through marital ties. Anyway, you can't control a nation in dynastic union only unless it's your vassal. For controlling without vassalage, you would have to have a personal union, and those, while the process to try is the same as a dynastic union, you also will have to have luck to get a personal union.

While you, as Burgundy, already starts with this littoral because it inherited Flanders in the 1370's.

The harvest this year is reasonably good, but state serfs have to be lent to many freeholders to harvest the crops on time.

 * NO. For the last time - the amount you want to expand by is too much, you can't have all of New YorkSstate yet. Plus that war against the Erokee never happened because as Lurk said: "You can't take territory from someplace if you don't have a border with them or you can't reach them by sea. ... They (the waterways) should be on the map." So your war against the Erokee never counted and hence the territory you got from the Erokee isn't on the map. Here's the discussion to remind you.
 * But I can access them through waterways. And no one ever told me what a decent size to expand by was.
 * Did you not read what I wrote? Those waterways have to be visable on the map! As for expansion bit, where do you think rules about expansion are going to be? You never think it may be on the page with all the game's rules on it? Also rather than the amount you were expanding, I meant more the amount you think you should have expanded by. As in expanding 1000 sq km a turn is okay but you haven't been doing that for long enough to reach Lake Erie yet.

The military development focus also draws some criticism and debates
 * Cyprus continues to expand its Nea Lefkosia colony 200 sq km north along the coast of the Maracaibo Lagoon (Can I rename this lagoon? Seeing that I found it and all...). More settlers are encouraged to emigrate to Nea Lefkosia.
 * Well, the lake didn't had a native name, and since the name of the lake is derived from the city's name, you can do it.
 * Saxony: With the results of the imperial election still uncertain, and any kind of resolution to the crisis seemingly far-off, the Elector orders the army to return home from February till October. During this time, the soldiers help their families with business, harvests, etc. The local Battallion trains every third week, just to keep it in fighting condition. A small garrison is kept on the Northern border to report of any movements, but none are forthcoming. After the harvest, the regiments and divisions gradually form back up and make their way back to their positions on the border. During the period of non-deployment, the army's weapons are fixed, improved, or upgraded. The cannons especially are improved, and many are put on "gun carriages" which make them very easy to transport. (By gun carriage, I just mean the usual way that cannons have wheels, definitely not a tank).
 * Anhalt: The Princely army of Anhalt is also relieved of active duty for the large part of the year, seeing as action has not been forthcoming. The book on agriculture published last year finds a quite universal readership (amongst the very small literate population), and word of its contents become the talk of pubs and taverns frequented by freeholder farmers and serf farmworkers alike. This year's crop becomes a kind of "grand experiment" as everyone holds their breath to see if the science of the treatsie holds up to practical implementation. As the bumper crop is harvested, the nation breathes a collective sigh of relief that their massive bet paid off. The author of the book is proclaimed a national "Agricultural Hero" by the prince, and His Highness insists that the author is inducted into the Wettin's House Order, the Order of Saint Mathilda. The surplus of wheat and other crops is of great benefit to the farmers, traders and military of the principality. The first two make more money then they could have before, and the last has enough grain in its stores to last a very long campaign.
 * Archbishopric of Magdeburg: Again, due to the largely non-native membership of the episcopal army, it stays positioned on the border throughout the year. The treasures of the Magdeburg cathedral are returned from hiding for the year, so the worshipers can view the glory of God's One Church.
 * Caliphate Provinces of Candar, Rumelia, Anatolia, and Wallachia: Economic and military buildup continues. The Kappelists are sent money, weapons, and many other goods. The four provinces state that all Kappelist nations will be aided by all four Ottoman provinces.
 * China continues to improve relations with Dai Vet. Meanwhile, the infrastructure in the newly conquered Khosut Khanate is repaired and the military is improved.
 * Venice expands its economy with more ships built for the IMF. Nuovo Treviso expands 100 sq km to the west and Nuovo Venexia expands 1000 sq km in Florida.
 * The United Kingdoms of Bavaria and Thuringia expand industry. The IMG is expanded and Venice is thanked for its many years as a partner. The Bavarian Bankgruppe expands operations. The King recalls a previous agreement with certain parties and places the combined votes of Bavaria and Thuringia behind Louis IX.
 * The Caliphal Province of Egypt expands its colonies; New Mecca by 1000 square kilometres (the River of Hashem by 600, Wahe Bari 300 and Bidyt Remenkemi 100) and the colony of New Alexandria by another 1000 square kilometres. The colony begins to experience large incomes of soldiers as the Emir plans to make the Spice Isles sultans vassals.
 * The Caliphal Province of Syria continues building its ports at Latakia, as well as renewing the effort of sending diplomats to the European nations in hopes of trade, trying to ignore the religious wars as much as the government can, stating that it will trade with anyone interested, either Catholic, Orthodox, Kappelist, or any other branch of Christianity.
 * The Caliphal Province of Palestine continues building its economy as a middle-point in between Egypt's exports and Syria's selling. When the Jews begin actively helping the improval of trade, most of the government's hostility towards them disappears, instead they're just treated as regular wealthy denizens.
 * The Caliphal Province of Nubia expands eastwards by 2000 sq km, southwards into the Funj by 500 and south and westwards by 500 sq km. Tensions break between the Christians, composing some 45% of the nation, and the Muslims, composing some 40% of it; the other 15%, mainly Pagan, keeps quiet.
 * The Caliphal Province of the Hijaz finishes its transport network it had worked on for the last few years. It begins to improves its military.
 * The Caliphal Province of Yemen continues to influence Adal.
 * The Caliphal Province of Hadramaut continues to improve its army, hoping to destroy the Bedouins starting in three years' time.
 * The Mayan Empire continues expanding north. Kinich Kakmo is bedridden, and the best physicians in the empire are called to help him. Xaman expands 25 km south.
 * The Caliphate Province of Oman amps up its economy as trade continues to grow. The expedition to Atlantia sets off.
 * The Caliphate Province of Nejd builds up its military. A Bedouin rebellion breaks out led by a powerful tribal chief.

 * The Caliphate Province of Deccan builds up its military and General Ranchood and his allies in several of the top armies in India, begin to put measures for the succession plan in place.
 * The Caliphate Province of Koli builds up its military.
 * Caliph Muhammad ibn Muhammad has his 21st birthday this year and graduates from military school. He returns to Mecca to assume leadership over his Caliphate but regent Vizier Abu ad-Din Yahya-Mustansir has Caliph Muhammad arrested and sent to jail in Medina to where he will be executed for treason. Vizier Abu ad-Din Yahya-Mustansir declares the end of the Hashemite Caliphate and the start of a new dynasty of Caliphs; with himself as Caliph Abu ad-Din Yahya-Muhammad, first Caliph of the Mustansir dynasty. Naturally not everyone agrees with this new dynasty taking over and the Medina jail is stormed by supporters of Caliph Muhammad and he is freed. A civil war breaks out in the Caliphate between the supporters of Caliph Muhammad and Caliph Abu, as the battle between the two sides leaves being tied to just Hejaz province but to all of the Caliphate. Muhammad retreats northwards to build up support for his army to go and take back Mecca. Meanwhile Caliph Abu fortifies Mecca and sends assassins to go kill Caliph Muhammad.
 * The Caliphate Province of Circassia expands its military as the province tries to keep the peace between Christians and Muslims as more revolts break-out. A full scale organised rebellion breaks out as the Christians led by Bishop of Znamensky Cathedral. Tired of the weak government and the rebellious Christians, an extreme Islamic group called the Salafi Jihadis take over Circassia, declaring the Caliph in Mecca to be corrupt and weak. The Salafi Jihadis leader declares himself as Caliph Sunnah and the other two Caliphs to be frauds. He starts a campaign to take over the northern provinces of the Caliphate after he ruthlessly kills all of the Christian rebels and burns down the Christian towns. The remaining few thousand Christians either escape north into Russia, converted or are killed.
 * The Caliphate Province of Al-Slaveit works on its military and many Christians flee the province scared of being killed by the ruthless Salafi Jihadis forces of Caliph Sunnah ibn Anas.
 * The Caliphate Province of Georgia works on its military battling against the invading forces of Caliph Sunnah ibn Anas.
 * The Caliphate Province of West Qoyunlu works on its military. The ruling Qoyunlu clan pledge allegiance to Caliph Muhammad ibn Muhammad. They send a massive army northwards to go crush Caliph Sunnah's forces and sends a smaller army to join up with Caliph Muhammad as he plans to take back Mecca from Caliph Abu.
 * The Caliphate Province of East Qoyunlu works on its military and joins West Qoyunlu in sending lots of troops to help Caliph Muhammad defeat the insurgent Caliphs Abu and Sunnah.
 * The Caliphate Province of Cilicia works on its economy. The province enters a short civil war as parts of the government disagree on whether Muhammad or Abu is the rightful Caliph.
 * The Caliphate Province of Persia builds up its military. They side with Caliph Muhammad and send troops to support him.
 * The Caliphate Province of Iraq works on its building up its military and General Al-Ahmad Burji declares Iraq to be his own personal sultanate in a coup. But his coup is defeated as his support base is only small and he is a bit of a narcissistic optimist.
 * The Caliphate Province of Trebizond works on its military. The province declares support for Caliph Muhammad and sends troops to defeat the other two rogue Caliphs.
 * The Caliphate Province of Karaman builds up its military. The province declares support for Caliph Muhammad and sends troops to defeat the other two rogue Caliphs.
 * The Caliphate Province of Crimea builds up its military forces as more revolts break out and the forces of Caliph Sunnah ibn Anas take over huge swathes of eastern Crimea. Many Christians are killed and the Christians organise their own rebel army to declare a new Christian state but they are annihilated by Caliph Sunnah's armies. Many Muslims radicalise and join Caliph Sunnah, as such the Crimean provincial government collapses as the three way civil war tears the province apart.

1550

 * Nippon-koku PMII1550.pngds more into 霊烏路 (Reiuzi) (Kamchatka). The Satomi Clan builds their military up and Satomi Hidefumi begins to plan for a while on what to do next. Meanwhile, 沖縄國 (Okinawa Kingdom) builds up its military. Also, 幽谷 (Kasodani) expands by 100 km and 東海道 (Tōkaidō) expands by 100 km.

Meanwhile, in Antília, São Tomé expands 500 sq km north, and along its borders.
 * The Caliphate Province of Oman amps up its military and the province falls into civil war as the support for Caliphs Muhammad and Abu. The expedition to Atlantia arrives in the Comchellak colony, where the expedition decides to turn back and support Caliph Muhammad. Support in the Omani colonies is primarily for Caliph Muhammad due to the growing corrupt practices brought in by the regency government of Caliph Abu while he was Vizer.
 * The Caliphate Province of Nejd builds up its military. The Bedouin rebels spread into Hejaz, Yemen, Oman, Shaybah and Hadramaut provinces, where they attack all Caliphate forces regardless of Caliph loyalty.
 * The Caliphate Province of Shaybah builds up its military as the Bedouin rebels are fought out of Shaybah and the Emir of Shaybah declares support for Caliph Muhammad.

 * The Caliphate Province of Koli builds up its military, declaring support for Caliph Muhammad.
 * Caliph Muhammad ibn Muhammad builds up his army and leads his massive army to retake Mecca from Caliph Abu. A huge siege battle breaks out as Caliph Abu ad-Din Yahya-Muhammad battles to hold Mecca but eventually he is forced out. Caliph Abu retreats south to another of his power-bases in Yemen, but Caliph Muhammad's forces follow him south. Another large battle breaks out but Caliph Abu is beaten and retreats to Hadramaut. Parts of Muhammad's armies leave to go fight off the Bedouin rebellion as Caliph Abu seems to be almost defeated.
 * The Caliphate Province of Circassia continues to be the centre of Caliph Sunnah ibn Anas's control as his new Salafi Jihadi government. They expand the military as they expand more into Crimea, Georgia and West Qoyunlu provinces. Thousands more non-Muslims are killed under the regime and Imans are killed and replaced with Salafi Jihadi Imans to radicalise the moderates.
 * (Using rubber dingy rapids perhaps? LOL jk. Hope you get this reference.)
 * The Caliphate Province of Al-Slaveit works on its military as it wars against the rogue Caliph Sunnah ibn Anas and his armies.
 * The Caliphate Province of Georgia works on its military battling against the invading forces of Caliph Sunnah ibn Anas but slowly loosing ground to them. Georgia requests help from the other provinces.

 * The Caliphate Province of Crimea builds up its military forces as they fight off the forces of Caliph Sunnah ibn Anas. Troops from the other provinces arrive by sea and the Crimean army begins pushing back Caliph Sunnah.
 * Lakota: Lakotan warriors turn back from Ute lands and only annex very little.
 * Brandenburg continues to build up infrastructure and the military. We expand Neu Berlin by however many pixels are plausible at this point, as no one has told me how much I can expand by.
 * How much time has passed since you made the first colony 
 * Its all on the rule page, you know where most of the game's rules are located?
 * I founded the colony in 1508. It's been 42 years.
 * Burgundy: The continuous inability of the Empire to choose a new emperor continues, the Duchess and his son continue threatening to quit the Empire if there's not an election in the next few years. While this, the Son of the Duchess, Francesco, 21 years of age, continues looking for a royal marriage, now mainly focused with France or Normandy, though any nation that offers a royal marriage is welcomed. While this, colonies continue expanding: New Antwerp 750 sq km and Neu Zeeland 250 sq km and Brasilea 750 sq km and New Charlesopolis 250 sq km westwards, while demand of the Promised lands from the French continue ( I need help on this. Stew is AFK what can I do?). While this, the Annexation of Gueldres continues.
 * Have you got any proof that he agrees to give these lands to you freely? If not message him asking for them and wait for him to reply. Otherwise you'll just have to use force rather than diplomacy.
 * "France: We respect Burgundy's offer, and will promise them land to connect Dijon with their colonies. The Auvergne French have more interest in the New World anyways. As the Auvergne Armée approaches 40,000, plans are made to attack the Bourbon strongholds all over France, and take back control of the country, with plans to eventually take Brittany and Normandy. King Gauss promises to be to be the true King of France." That's the nearest thing to a promise that I have received. In 1537, after I, in the turn before that one, said we would like some land to connect with Burgundy's Exclave Sine dei gloriem (talk) 01:58, December 14, 2012 (UTC) and i already sent a message 
 * Portugal offers Joana, 20 years old, and daughter of King Pedro.
 * Burgundy: We accept your generous offer.
 * The United Kingdoms of Bavaria and Thuringia expands the military. Unrest grows over the political stalemate between members of the Empire. Many people begin to voice that maybe the UK would be better suited as an independent nation. The King orders the dissent to cease or expect imprisonment(the King is pro-Empire) The Bavarian Bankgruppe opens branches in Moscow and Novogrod, as well as opening a new branch in London. The BRC develops a slightly improved version of the Russian snaphance, one that limits misfires and allows for relatively safe firing in wet weather due to a unique metal (or leather) flap protecting the firing mechanism. Research begins in Ernest to invent a faster weapon type.
 * The Manchurians expand their New Manchuria colony by 1000 sq km.
 * The Caliphal Province of the Hijaz suddenly declares allegiance for Caliph Abu and mobilises its citizen army to attack the Muhammadid forces off Medina. Troops and peoples supporting Muhammad are more easily expulsed or killed from Jiddah and the desert towns.
 * The Caliphal Province of Hadramaut also declares its allegiance for Caliph Abu, although does not redirect troops to help its remainder (instead granting them the keys to the major South Arabian cities) but send them north to at last massacre the Bedouins before their revolt spreads. They also attack any Muhammadid troop in the area.
 * The Caliphal Province of Yemen, while declaring support for Abu, soon bogs down into civil war with government forces occupying the province. The Province also begins violently rounding up and murdering many Bedouin tribes and blocks the Aden canal to everybody who does not follow Abu's armies.
 * The Caliphal Province of Syria declares support for Muhammad but looks to establish an independent Levantine Kingdom if the war in Arabia goes awry, with the Emir going as far as beginning to forge a crown for a future coronation as well as several writs and messages to several nations; they are hidden in the deepest storage rooms of the palace at Damascus.
 * The Caliphal Province of Egypt declares itself Abuid, for reasons that are considered only hoping to reopen the Gulf of Aden to the colonists and traders. However, worried for the war, Egypt does not expand its colonies but instead lose them to staunch Muhammadid provinces, that state "If we are to be ruled by somebody, let us be ruled by our true Caliph, Muhammad, and by our Khedive's brother, Sim'an of Syria".
 * The Caliphal Province of Nubia also declares itself Abuid and sends its troops overseas.
 * The Caliphal Province of Palestine declares itself Muhammadan, in favour of Syria, and invades Egypt in hopes to establish Muhammad's rule over the province again. The war reaches a bloody stalemate in the western Sinai.
 * The Caliphal Province of Tunis declares itself to support Muhammad. Troops and ships are sent to quell the rebellion in Egypt.
 * The Caliphal Province of Tripoli declares itself to support Muhammad as well, and invades Egypt from the west. However, the Egyptian army resists superbly well for its state and condition.
 * Scandinavia expands its army and navy; they build up their economy and infrastructure, with new roads being built. This year Nye Norge expands by 1000 sq miles. The Saalskap Av Bukten Erik continues its operations. The Representanhuset of Nya Sverige passes headright grant laws, inspiring many to immigrate to the rich fields of the Bukten Sverige region. Secret funding of pro-independence nobles - rebels in Bosnia/Serbia and Granada continues in conjunction with Venice. Bjorn Nyborg begins work on several paintings. Britta Klingenberg's art studio attracts promising young artists to Oslo. The statue of King Erik continues work. The Queen expresses her doubts of the HRE, since their government is still in limbo. Queen Victoria's royal control over the deportation of Kappelists seems to be working. The Queen is in shock as a great religious/political entity (Caliphate) like the HRE is undergoing turmoil, division and civil war.
 * Naples: The army grows. The King Leopold I is crowned Emperor of the HRE.
 * Savoy: The Kingdom continues to trade with Africa and strengthens all the factories. The army grows. All nobles celebrate the election of the King as Emperor.
 * Bosnia and Serbia: The army continues to grow in size and expand military construction throughout the Grand Duchy. All nobles celebrate the election of the King as Emperor.
 * Inca Empire: Inca Manco II expands his army. All people celebrate the election of the King as Emperor. The inca sent some gifts foe his victory.
 * Imperial Goverment: The Emperor will find a solution for the religion problem (The MODs want war?)
 * Rajputana improves the military and many people convert to Sikhism. More radicals are expeled many flee to Afganistan further destabilizing the provience.
 * Saxony: The Elector pledges his alliegence to the new Emperor, sending a herald to the Imperial Court. His Highness hopes that the new Emperor will remember Saxony, who was loyal to their agreement signed so long ago. With no sign of war on the horizon, the army is again sent home for the vast majority of the year, training regularly with their local regiments. Word of Anhalt's bumper crop last year brings the agcricultural book to the attention of Saxony's literate population. The landowners who implement the changes in the book in time for the sowing are rewarded at the harvest with bumper crops, and the jealousy of their neighbours.
 * Anhalt: The Prince, taking the lead of his cousin, allows his army to decamp from the border and return home for the harvest. The harvest is again a massive success, and traders begin actually EXPORTING wheat! The artillery begins mounting cannons on wheels.
 * Archbishopric of Magdeburg: Harvests continue as normal, and the emigre episcopal army continues to bivouac around the borders. The Cathedral is decked out with all the gold and gilt, seeing as war seems unlikely this year.
 * The Mayan Empire expands north. Kinich Kakmo's condition worsens, and his family fears for his health. Xaman expands 25 km south.
 * Cyprus expands its Nea Lefkosia colony north along the coast of the newly named Aliki Lake.
 * Venice expands its infrastructure. The Doge is worried about the coming war and strengthens the Venetian's northern border. Nuovo Treviso expands 1000 sq km to the west as Nuovo Venexia expands 1000 sq km in Cuba.
 * Caliphate Provinces of Candar, Rumelia, Anatolia, and Wallachia: Economic and military buildup continues. The Kappelists are sent money, weapons, and many other goods. The four provinces state that all Kappelist nations will be aided by all four Ottoman provinces.
 *  Reminder: Expansion into light grey states is not allowed without war or agreements with the state in question. Funj and the colony in Indonesia have be retconned. I mean if all of a sudden Milan started expanding into Venice there'd be war and if Novgorod expanded into Scandinavia there would be the Great Northern War take 913.  
 * Fine, I get that it is implausible (although there is a difference between Milan expanding into Venice and Alodia inheriting Fuji duchies) but did you have to point this up so late after I started doing it?
 * Novgorod expands their military and stuff. More guns produced. Exploration of Siberia hired out to Cossacks.

1551
''' In Henan, China, a severe frost in the spring destroys the winter wheat crop. Torrential rains in mid-summer cause massive flooding of farmland and villages, and in the fall a large tornado demolishes houses and flattens much of the buckwheat in the fields. Obviously, this causes widespread famine in the area. '''

''' The Miskito people officially establish a stable Miskito Kingdom. The new Miskito King sends a diplomat to the Mayans to negotiate the division of the region between the two. '''

 * In The United Kingdom of Bavaria and Thuringia, the Reichstag orders that an order of withdrawal be drafted from the Empire in case of inefective leadership as many in the UK are dissastified with the Empire in recent years. The King stresses that it a protectionary measure, and should the Empire become more stable, will be unnecessary. A radical Catholic zealot named Markus Remus, in favour of Holy War against Kappelism, begins to plot the assassination of Emperor Leopold. (SECRET!!!) He begins plans because he wishes to destablize the Empire and to bring the war he believes everyone is ignoring, his other targets include high ranking Catholic Clergy in Saxony and Bavaria as well as the King of the UK. Remus seeks out extreme Catholic radicals in the north, mainly Brandenburg, to gain support (NOTE: ALL THIS IS COVERT). The Bavarian Bankgruppe begins to modernize the Banking industry, hiring outside intelligence from Venice.
 * The Manchurians expand their New Manchuria colony by 1000 sq km.
 * Cyprus sends ships to search for other possible colonisation sites, and settles in the OTL Corpus Christi area of Texas. The new settlement is named Nea Larnaka. Nea Larnaka is expanded by 100 sq km while Nea Lefkosia is expanded by 100 sq km also.
 * Saxony: Elector Frederick III dies at the exceedingly old age of 89 (I kinda forgot to kill my royals off at decent intervals...). He is succeeded by his son, Otto, who is aged 56. The new Elector declares a week of mourning for his late father. A statue is erected in his honour in Dresden. Meanwhile, with war looking unlikely for the moment, the regiments stay in their local areas, instead of camping on the border. This gives the army an opportunity to try out new techniques, new weapons, and new organisation. Almost every landlord and freeholder worth his salt uses the new agricultural system (detailed in the now bestselling book from Anhalt) for this year's crop. The result: Surpluses of wheat and grains for everyone.
 * Anhalt: The aging Prince of Anhalt outlives his cousin the Elector by three months before his own death. He is succeeded as Sovereign Prince of Anhalt by his 54 year old son, Leopold. The new Prince swears his allegiance to the people and nobles of Anhalt, and renews his father's oath of Vassalage to the Elector of Saxony. The army is updated, old armour, uniforms and weapons are replaced, and everything generally goes well. This year's harvest is again good, and the farmers and traders who have profited from the new agricultural system invest their money in the Bavarian Bankgruppe.
 * Archbishopric of Magdeburg: The Archbishop declares his allegiance to the new Elector of Saxony. The army is improved. His Grace the Archbishop commissions artists from Italy and Germany to become court artists in his episcopal court.
 * The Caliphate Province of Circassia continues to be the centre of Caliph Sunnah ibn Anas's control as his new Salafi Jihadi government.

Thousands more non-Muslims are killed under the regime and Imans are killed and replaced with Salafi Jihadi Imans to radicalise the moderates.
 * The Caliphate Province of Al-Slaveit works on its military as it wars against the rogue Caliph Sunnah ibn Anas and his armies. However, because of the retreating of the main army from Crimea into Al-Slaveit, gigantic massacares happen to all non-Muslims in the province. Nearl a fifth of all citizens of Al-Slaveit are killed by the end of the year, some because they did not follow Islam as ibn Anas delcared correct.

Caliph Abu continues to retreat through Hadramaut province until he is stopped by the armies of Crown prince Yazid bin Said of Shaybah.

The joint armies siege Salalah for about a month until the city falls and Caliph Abu is executed for treason. Caliph Muhammad celebrates his victory then sets about defeating the Bedouin rebellion. Caliph Abu's supporters across the Caliphate begin loosing prestige as their leader is now dead.
 * The Caliphate Province of Oman amps up its military and Caliphs Muhammad's forces win the war in Oman and its colonies.

The Miskito messenger is accepted, and the Mayans are willing to hear his proposal. The Mayan territory is successfully divided intoeight states and two vassals.
 * Venice expands its infrastructure. The Doge is worried about the coming war and strengthens the Venetian's northern border. Nuovo Treviso expands 1000 sq km to the west as Nuovo Venexia expands 1000 sq km in Cuba.
 * Papal States (My sincerest apologies again. This has been the busiest week of my semester and I should be able to pay more attention to the game now). The Pope passes away this year, and a new Pope Soter II is proclaimed Pope in January. The Pope has little intent for warfare unless the Holy Roman Emperor (or his successor) begins it. He believes, however, that if the threat of warfare continues to be prolonged, the HRE may be split against the heretics and the pure Catholics, and the if the Holy War is won, the HRE will have a severely difficult time reorganizing itself. The Pope is pleased, however, that a civil war is taking place among the Muslims, and thus the Catholics will avoid the threat of Muslim help in our Holy War.
 * Scandinavia expands its army and navy; they build up their economy and infrastructure, with new roads being built. This year Nya Sverige expands by 1000 sq miles. The Saalskap Av Bukten Erik continues its operations. The Representanhuset of Nya Sverige passes headright grant laws, inspiring many to immigrate to the rich fields of the Bukten Sverige region. Secret funding of pro-independence nobles - rebels in Bosnia/Serbia and Granada continues in conjunction with Venice. A university opens in Vikstig, starting with 16 students ... it is known as Erik University. Lubeck's port thrives as a major European rading center. Ny Norg Stad remains as the most important colonial port in Antillia with its 50th anniversary in sight. The Queen tours Portugal this year.
 * Brandenburg continues to build up its military and infrastructure. A lot of radicals meet with this Markus Remus and they plan the November 5th Plot to kill Leopold and the leaders of Bavaria, Savoy, and Naples next year. (ALL SECRET.) Meanwhile we expand Neu Berlin by 3000 sq km. (See now, I read the rules. The colony is less than 50 years or less, so it expands by 1000 sq km. I also read that a colony established or a region reached in the first 50 years of the discovery of the Americas gets triple the expansion rate. So am I doing this right or not?)
 * No. At least I think, as this rule is too vague, as it isn't clear. I, for an example, expanded on the rate of 3000 sq km from the moment I reached the area until 1547, when 50 years had passed from the reaching of the area. and, I am sure that you have reached this area more than 50 years ago, But, as I was saying...
 * In Luxembourg, Grand Duke Louis IX, 59, dies not long after his loss in the election. His son becomes Louis X and vows to eradicate Kappelism all over the Empire. Luxembourg also asks France if it can have access to port on the French northern coast and right of way through some French land from Luxembourg to the sea.
 * Milan: The army is improved, the borders are strengthened. The Duke continues funding Kappelist groups in Switzerland and Austria.
 * Genoa: the cuban colony expands with the use of slave force in the plantations, the colony between Oyo and Akan continues growing up.
 * The Caliphal Province of Hijaz, embittered over Abiu's defeat, demands the placing of Abu's closest relative as Caliph and threatens secession otherwise.
 * The Caliphal Province of Hadramaut, embittered over Abu's defeat, continues massacring the Bedouins in the north of the Province. However, it joins the Hijazi demand and begins guerrilla warfare against Caliph Muhammad and Shaybah's forces. However, soon enough the Emir is faced with a pro-Muhammad pretender, a cousin through his mother's sde of Sim'an of Syria, together with his brother campaigning in Yemen
 * The Caliphal Province of Yemen also joins the Hijazi demands, but is also faced with a Muhammadid pretender soon afterwards.
 * People in the Caliphal Province of Palestine request it gains the Sinai and joins Syria into a single province, in hopes that some wealth will pass into the region.
 * The Caliphal Province of Egypt, embittered, agrees to give up its colonies on Africa to Palestine. In return, it establishes New Alexandria, a new colony on eastern Sulawesi (which is labeled black in the map, IIRC).
 * The Caliphal Province of Syria returns to building its ports and sending messages to Europe, as well as expulsing Abuid nobles to Palestine, where they are deported to Bidyt Remenkemi.
 * Burgundy: The fear of conflict between Kappelists and Catholics remains, but joy spreads over the Duchy as the News of the election of the Savoyard as Emperor of The Romans, nevertheless, Duke Francesco I, now with the Portuguese Princess Joana as his wife, begins creating more adequate laws over his domains, mainly based on the territories Wallonia and the Netherlands, and Changes the Capital city to Charlesopolis, the City of his Great grandfather. He continues to quest for the Gain of the Land from the French promised during his father's reign. Nevertheless, he shows little to no interest currently over the Disputed/Promised lands and instead gives more importance to the situation of the empire, such as asking the Emperor and the Other Catholic states to form a Catholic-Loyal League to Keep the empire in one piece. While this, the Patriarch of the Orthodox Dionisius I is Killed in New Thrakia The Canarian Islands by a Kappelist from unknown Origin, this causes the fairly Peaceful Orthodox to Ask the Duke to Act against the Kappelists and side with several Catholics who wish Exterminate the Kappelists. While this, Expansion on the Colonies of New Antwerp 750 sq km, Neu Zeeland 250 sq km (Part of New Antwerp), New Charlesopolis 250 sq km and Brasilea 750 sq km. A new Patriarch of the Orthodoxy Of Burgundy is Chosen. Of Wallonian origon, the Patriarch Joannes I is chosen after a Conclave from the Orthodox Bishops.

​1552
'''Another storm surge occurs in Northern Burgundy over the new year. Hundreds perish in the floods and as temperatures plunge, thousands more die of cold and hunger as the floodwaters freeze, preventing many from reaching their homes and supplies. Many interpret these as signs that God is unsatisfied with the Burgundian regime and the expansion of Kappelism.'''

'''Kappelist groups in Switzerland increase with power Milanese help influences the region. Some talk of requesting diplomatic union with Milan but these people are ignored... for now...'''

'''A typhoon strikes the Philippines and Formosa forcing the abandonment of Formosa's colony there as supplies are redirected to rebuilding in Formosa. Hainan's governor takes advantage of the chaos and declares the island an independent nation.'''

'''It's not a colony, and I doubt the Formosans would abandon any part of their nation for any reason. It'd be like the United States completely abandoning the areas affected by Hurricane Sandy. Plus the Emperor selects his Governors based on loyalty as well as ruling ability. As such they are blindly loyal to Formosa. Plus I doubt this Governor wouldn't leap at the chance to cury favor by aiding the victims. '''

'''Minor revolts and rebellion occur in Granada, Serbia and Southern Bosnia as many within those nations seek to overthrow the overextended Neapolitan state. To add to that, in the aftermath of an earthquake near Cuzco, one man claims that the gods have told him that the Neapolitans are heathens that must be overthrown, he soon gathers a large following and they prepare to march on Cuzco.'''


 * Nippon-koku expands more into 霊烏路 (Reiuzi) (Kamchatka). The Satomi Clan builds their military up and Satomi Hidefumi continues planning and he plans to take Kyūshū next. The Mononobe and Rokkaku clans continue fighting against the Ashina clan, but began to have a hard time doing so. Meanwhile, 沖縄國 (Okinawa Kingdom) builds up its military. Also, 幽谷 (Kasodani) expands by 100 km and 東海道 (Tōkaidō) expands by 100 km.

The Duke of Barcelos also dies this year, being succeeded by his son João.
 * The Manchurians expand their New Manchuria colony by 1000 sq km.
 * The Caliphate Province of Circassia continues to be the centre of Caliph Sunnah ibn Anas's control as his new Salafi Jihadi government. It is, however, having a hard time keeping up with its loss of Crimea. And by the end of the year, they surrender. The treasonous Salafi Jihadi government's leaders are all killed for treason and rebuilding the province begins.
 * The Caliphate Province of Al-Slaveit works on its military as they win back the province from Caliph Sunnah.
 * The Caliphate Province of Georgia works on its military battling against the invading forces of Caliph Sunnah ibn Anas, as they win back the province from Caliph Sunnah.

 * The Caliphate Province of Cilicia works on its military and sends help to Georgia.
 * The Caliphate Province of Persia builds up its military sending troops to defeat Caliph Sunnah ibn Anas. Ahmedali, the young musician, makes a new instrument called the Karakhait. The Karakhait is a system where if a red wooden block is pushed down, a ball connected to the block hits a string thus producing a musical note. The notes are not evenly tempered and some blocks may be less than one semitone apart while others may be three whole tones apart. Ahmedali is trying to refine it, but doesn't have the money to make more.
 * The Caliphate Province of Iraq works on its building up its military as Iraq recovers from General Al-Ahmad Burji's coup. Troops are sent to join up with Caliph Muhammad's army too.

 * The Caliphate Province of Karaman builds up its military sending more troops to defeat Caliph Sunnah.
 * The Caliphate Province of Crimea builds up its military forces as they win back the province.
 * Caliph Muhammad, after putting down the Bedouin Revolt, orders Caliph Sunnah ibn Anas and his followers to be executed. He is triumphantly welcomed back to Mecca, where the mosque built to commemorate Marwan III is finished. Meanwhile, he orders his troops to march towards Deccan to retake the province from General Ranchood's secessionist Bharati government.
 * Saam, Caliph Sunnah ibn Anas wouldn't have settled for being second to Caliph Muhammad. He hates him and all he stands for, it's like the Kappelists deciding to give up and become Catholic again. I changed your copy and pasted posts too, so that they made more sense and weren't devoid of reality.
 * My rationale was that he would stand to be second because since he would be a great general, he could implement his policies in war.
 * We can always just use another general instead. Besides Caliph Muhammad is meant to be the military genius.
 * Scandinavia expands its army and navy; they build up their economy and infrastructure, with new roads being built. This year Nye Norge expands by 1000 sq km, with Smalnar almost in sight. The Saalskap Av Bukten Erik continues its operations. The Representanhuset of Nya Sverige passes headright grant laws, inspiring many to immigrate to the rich fields of the Bukten Sverige region. Universities become increasingly popular and the colonial assembly of Nye Norge establishes Ny Norge Universitet (NNU) in the center of Ny Norg Stad. Nya Sverige, being a plantation colony, seems not to be interested in creating any right now. Queen Victoria is pleased at her (and the Doge of Venice's) plan's fruition and continues to fund the rebels in Neapolitan holdings. The government contacts Brandenburg's radicals and ask to partake in their activities at least in Naples where Venice and Scandinavia will be busy. (All in secret of course, no metagaming, Quiari). Queen Victoria returns from Portugal and her son Denis, the Prince of Finland, comes with her.
 * The Mayan Empire expands north. Kinich Kakmo finally dies, and his son, Kinich, becomes part of the oligarchy. Xaman expands 25 km south. The Miskito messenger is accepted and the oligarchy is willing to undergo negotiations.
 * Saxony: The army remains in peacetime mode, with the regiments quartered in their home territories. The regiments partake of regular training and exercises, and general improvements are made. The harvest is again good, and nothing much of note happens. Spies (not so much spies, as information-gatherers) infriltrate Altmark, just giving a report on the general state of its defences. The Elector hosts a Joust Tournament for the nobles of the land.
 * Anhalt: The Army of Anhalt also remains on peacetime footing, training and improving. The wife of crown Prince Ernest-Augustus, an Anhaltese noblewoman, finally gives birth to her first child. Rather unfortunately for everyone, the wife dies, and the child, which survives, is a girl, named Anna. Although he is deeply sorry for his dear wife's death, and although he loves his young daughter with all the tenderness of a new parent, he realises that the nobles will never accept a Sovereign Princess as overlord, and he must remarry. So, Ernest-Augustus, heir apparent to the Anhaltese throne, is in search of a wife of childbearing age.
 *   Archbishopric of Magdeburg: The Archbishop, pleased with his court artists from Italy, invites musicians to his palace to audition for the role of court composer. The episcopal army is improved.
 * Venice prepares its armies for the inevitable war. Extra troops are stationed across the Venetian isles and several great bombards are moved to the Straits of Gibraltar along with a force of 20,000 men who should be enough to defend the most formidable Venetian fortress from any attack. The Doge notifies the general/governor of the area to prepare to destroy every ship that refused to stop for checks while passing through the Straits. Nuovo Treviso expands 1000 sq km westwards and Nuovo Venexia expands 1000 sq km in Florida. With the population of the colonies fast growing thanks to Venice's urban capacity reached, the Doge orders many new buildings to be constructed in the settlements of Nuovo Venexia (OTL Jacksonville), Nuovo Treviso (OTL New Orleans), Bela (OTL Baton Rouge), Nuovo Padua (OTL Brunswick), Forte Celeste (OTL Miami), Nuovo Dalmatia (OTL Santa Rosa Beach), Acerbo Città (OTL Havana), Suolo Prato (OTL Flamingo in the Everglades), Nuovo Corfu (OTL Key West) and Nuovo Euboea (OTL Coxen Hole). Many of these settlements will obtain a permanent garrison and some even a university as their populations swell. The Doge, worried about overcrowding in Venice, commissions tens of new islands to be built in the lagoon and there is talk of many more to come as some Venetian architects are sent to learn the secrets of Dutch and German dyke building.
 * The Caliphate Province of Oman amps up its military and sends many ships to attack General Ranchood's secessionist Bharat Sultanate. The expedition to Atlantia reaches the South African colonies and now sets off going straight across the Atlantic Ocean to try to find Atlantia.
 * The Caliphate Province of Nejd builds up its military. The Bedouin rebels are completely defeated this year thanks to Caliph Muhammad's mighty army.

 * The Caliphal Province of Palestine expands its recently-gained colony of New Mecca, expanding Wahe Bari by 400 sq km, the River of Hashem by 400 and Bidyt Remenkemi by 200. The Province continues improving its colony, attempting to cooperate with Syria.
 * The Caliphal Province of Hijaz continues plotting to declare its independence as a new Caliphate. However, it doesn't act upon it yet.
 * The Caliphal Province of Yemen continues battling Ibrahim ibn Hussein, the Muhammadid candidate, and his brother Yazid battling in Hadramaut. However, Yemen's emir makes big losses in the time.
 * The Caliphal Province of Hadramaut continues massacring the Bedouins as a three-side war rises on the north of the province.
 * The Caliphal Province of Nubia expands 2000 sq km eastwards towards the sea. Large fires and smoke are reported coming from the west of the nation.
 * Lakota: Lakota start to expand westward.
 * Milan: Improves military. Guido Sforza continues helping the Kappelist movements in Switzerland and Europe. The Army is ready for the oncoming war and the defenses on the borders with Savoy and Venice are heavily protected hoping to defeat any possible invasion. Great forces are ready on the borders with Switzerland and Genoa to help the Kappelist groups in case of war.
 * Gallura: The Kappelists continue fighting Catholics. More men are recruited and the Kappelist council is ready to help the Duchy of Milan. Forces are ready to attack Genoa.
 * Genoa: Ignoring the Kappelist efforts to take control of Genoa, the Republic continues funding the exploration of the New World and the East Cuban colony with many people travelling to settle down in America. The colony in Africa continues growing up. The Vauxists and Kappelian movements in Corsica start to fight against the government and Piombino is consumed by war.
 * Rajputana expands the military and many convert to Sikhism.
 * Burgundy: Duke Francesco of Burgundy continues claiming the French land land between the Exclave of Dijon and the Northern provinces of Burgundy. While this, the Storm is a great concern and the Bishops say, "nevertheless of the events in here, we must not blame our brothers for their mistake. Furthermore, even more we should show them our mercy, and aid them to continue in union to our same god." Theae words convince most of the people and some Kappelists who tired of the conflict, accept a partial primacy of the Papacy over the Duchy. Nevertheless, many Kappelists continue their hate against the Pope. The Kappelists who accept the Pope as a representantative of God, yet not the leaders are nicknamed. These are called by the loyal Kappelists as the lefrevrists as he is a Kappelist member who due to his being Catholic during his childhood, doesn't support nor accept the Pope's choices. Yet he accepts the fact that almost nothing will drive away Europe from Rome. He shortly after gains many members to his cult among the unsatisfied  Catholics, gaining power among the Burgundians. While this, Pope Joannes I continues asking the Duke to act against the Kappelists. Nevertheless, the Duke is unable to do so without sparking a war, and currently more concerned about his new family as he has his first child, Ferdinand with Joana of Portugal, and the colonies expand Neu Antwerp 750 sq km, Neu Zeeland 250 sq km, Brasilea 750 sq km and Neu Charlesopolis 250 sq km.

1553
''' The Incan Empire revolts from Neapolitan rule, and successfully regains independence. '''

''' Mamash Dīn Timurid leads an invasion of the western portion of the Khanate of Akmola while his brother Godeng Dīn Timurid invades the east of Akmola. The pincer invasion quickly overwhelms the Khanate of Akmola and the Khan of Akmola surrenders most of his territory to the Timurids, and declares his rump Akmola Khanate to be a vassal of the Timurid Emirate. With this huge empire, the two Emirs declare themselves the joint Khans of the Timurid Empire. '''
 * Portugal continues preparing its military.

 * PMIIMiskitoProposal2.png Mayan Empire expands northward. Xaman expands 25 km south. The Miskito Kingdom is offered the following borders:
 * ​The Miskito Kingdom rejects the proposal and requests further gains in OTL Hounduras and more territory along the Mosquito Coast.
 * The generous oligarchy will allow more territory along the coast, but not to the full extent to which the Miskito Kingdom requests, considering they kept the Mayans waiting for three years for a reply.
 * China continues to improve its relations with Dai Vet. Meanwhile, the colony on Honolulu is expanded by 1000 sq km.

 * Burgundy:The news about the Incan Independence is heard, and aid to the Neapolitans is given if they choose to launch a recovery war on them. Duke Francesco continues asking the French to cede the promised lands between Dijon and the northern provinces. While this, the situation in the duchy calms down and the reconstruction of the northern provinces continue. The army is updated, and expansion on the colonies continues, as New Antwerp expands westwards into Choco 750 sq km and as Neu Zeeland Captaincy conquers the entire island expanding 250 sq km. While this, another captaincy part of Neu Antwerp is formed, the Captaincy of Golden Burgundy in OTL northern Venezuela Near Caracas. While Brasilea expands 750 sq km southwestward and Neu Charlesopolis Expands 250 sq km southward in OTL Nicaragua. (I made that colony because Von told me I could make more in 1548.) The duke's second child named Anna is born, and the lefevrists begin expanding outside the duchy - mainly in the unorganized Munster. While this, the duke offers the French to buy some land,
 * I remember talking about this, but can't remember the exact conversation, do you have a link to where we did this? Just so I can remember ~Von
 * The Caliphate Province of Circassia builds up its economy as it recovers from the war and destruction brought on by Caliph Sunnah ibn Anas's reign. Muslims are now the clear majority in the province and most hold on to some of the more extreme Muslim ideals; this and the civil unrest causes almost all of the remaining Christians to flee the province and migrating to Europe or Russia.
 * The Caliphate Province of Al-Slaveit works on its economy as it recovers from the war and destruction brought on by Caliph Sunnah ibn Anas's reign. Muslims are now the clear majority in the province as almost all of the Christians had been killed or fled by migrating to Europe or Russia.

The army of ibn Anas, after hearingof his death flee to the coast of Muscovy.
 * The Caliphate Province of Georgia works on its economy as it recovers from the war and destruction brought on by Caliph Sunnah ibn Anas's reign. The Muslims are now the majority in the province but many Christian Georgians still remain, however they are largely fearful of staying in the Muslim state in case of more extremist Muslims. Several rich Georgians begin organizing a mass exodus to the new world and the establishment of a new Georgian state, free of Muslim rule.
 * The Caliphate Province of West Qoyunlu works on its military as the province leads efforts to re-establish law and order, and the authority of Caliph Muhammad ibn Muhammad.

 * Tibet: Five-year-old Sayon Tsu-Heu is, after long debates, "identified" as the Third Dalai Lama. Sayon Tsu-Heu's reasonably close relation to the incumbent Premier, Cheyong Heu, causes some controversy, increased by the fact that the previous (Second) Dalai Lama, Xeu Gyatsen, was also related to a Premier (Thunsen Gyatsen, who was not yet Premier when Xeu was "identified"). Some groups accuse the monasteries involved in the process of corruption. This sequence of events causes many debates, and even some protests. In the meantime, the major focus for Tibet and its vassals is economic buildup, except in the Wacheng exclave, where the navy is built up. The trade connections and roads from Lanna to the other states of the Tibetan alliance are improved and increased in number. New monasteries are built in Lanna, the Shan Sultanate and Kashmir.

 * Scandinavia expands its army and navy; they build up their economy and infrastructure, with new roads being built. Nya Sverige celebrates its 50th anniversary. Colonies can now expand by 2000 sq km. Nya Danmark expands 1000 sq km moving across the Snavt River and around Novgorod's colony to prevent any situations. The Saalskap Av Bukten Erik's holdings/trade forts are reorganized into a Crown colony called Eriksmark under the control of the Saalskap Av Bukten Erik's control. Scandinavia organizes its penal settlements on Caribbean islands into a Crown colony, to be named soon. Eriksmark expands by 1000 sq km. With the Incan Empire's independence from Naples, the Queen contacts the Doge of Venice asking when the plan will be executed (secretly). Bjorn Nyborg produces another masterpiece called Den Leende Flicka (the Smiling Girl, Mona Lisa parallel). Britta Klingenberg finally finishes the statue of the late King Erik and unveils it in Stockholm. Standing at 100 feet in the Stockholm Grand Plaza, King Erik's essence towers over his subjects. His presence emanates throughout the country and (much) smaller versions 20 feet tall are ordered from Klingenberg's studio to be placed in Copenhagen, Oslo, Helsinki, and Turku.


 * Nippon-koku expands more into 霊烏路 (Reiuzi) (Kamchatka). The Satomi Clan builds their military up and Satomi Hidefumi continues preparing.

 * Anhalt: The army is improved, and heir Ernest-Augustus asks the families of Europe (specifically Bavaria, Scandinavia, Burgundy and Brandenburg) for a wife, as he desperately needs a son.
 * Archbishopric of Magdeburg: The Archbishop is very pleased with his court composer, and commissions many pieces from him. The episcopal army is improved. The treasures of the major Cathedrals are returned to their places, but a contingency plan is in place in case of war.
 * Cyprus expands Nea Lefkosia by 800 sq km and Nea Larnaka by 200 sq km. Princess Eleftheria bears two children, twins, christened Prince Yanni and Princess Stavroula. The Queen grows even frailer.

The four provinces state that all Kappelist nations will be aided by all four Ottoman provinces. Troops and money continue to be sent to India to aid the Caliph's armies.
 * The United Kingdoms of Bavaria and Thuringia: The Royal Family offers Selena Albrect to Scandinavia as a wife, she is beautiful and intelligent. The November 5th plot has taken some time to set up, but it is believed by the Order (name of the shadow group behind Remus and the plot) to be ready next Nov. 5. All members and assassins are ordered to their respective positions in Bavaria, Naples, Karolin, and Savoy. (still secret, please) The King begins a tour of the UK, trying to bolster support for the Reichstag's new tolerancy policies. The King declares his allegiance to Leopold as Emperor of the HRE. Many people within the UK are displeased as the Independence movement begins to boil steadily, and the long suppressed "Cold War" between Kappelists and Catholics reaches its boiling point. The IMG asks Venice for the nature of the closing of Gibraltar, and asks whether it needs to move the West Fleet. The Bavarian Bankgruppe does not expand any this year due to the corporate restructuring, and the addition of the experienced Venetian bankers to help train employees of Europe's largest bank.
 * Scandinavia? are you sure? from what i've seen lately, who has been asking for a royal marriage lately is Anhalt, not Scandinavia.
 * He's thinking of the Prince of Norway. Who was 21 around 30 years ago. 
 * I don't see any reason to offer a wife to a guy who's aleady dead.
 * The Caliphal Province of Syria, although somewhat burdened with the new Circassian and other Caucasian Christian refugees, soon solves it by settling them down on Christian nobles' territories; the nobles remain happy, due to they now having more Christian (although of a different denomination) populations in their territories, and the government soon redirects its money to once again improve its economy by establishing ports in Tyre, Tripoli and Beirut as well as Latakia.  Emir Sim'an continues sending messengers to Europe in hopes of gaining information and establish trade.
