Principia Moderni III (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 1400 CE, 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 has now finished. The second game, instead of being a worthy successor to the first, was marred by over-expansionism, feuds between players, ambiguity in the rules, which often caused controversy on wars between player nations, over-competitiveness and overall inactivity of the moderators, but was nevertheless successful in reaching the Modern Age. And thus, this third installment has been created. Welcome to Principia Moderni III!

2010
'''Mod Response, Germany and Australia are not interested, although the monarch of Belize has expressed interest if the Monarch of Neu Normandy (?) ends his claim. '''


 * Norderney. 


 * Kingdom of Kuba: military research and development continues. With two claimants deciding to push their claims, an election is organized this year. In accordance with relevant law, the government and its members take no stance on either candidate, and campaigning is done only by Kuban-based supporters. Polling on support of either side is banned during the year, considering it too influential on voters' decision making. The actual election takes place in December, with results to be published next year. (Mp, can you do the election results, please?)
 * Korea: Korea continues to build up its military. Meanwhile, more Taoist and Buddhist temples are built. Taoism rises in popularity and gains more followers. The military in the autonomous province of Haejagang (해자강) continues to be on high alert and continues to heavily patrol the Korean settlements. Meanwhile, industrialisation and modernisation continue in Korea (similar to OTL Japan's Meiji Restoration). Investing in technology and science continues. The Hyundai Motor Company continues to build more cars. Meanwhile, the government continues the policy of neutrality in world affairs in general. Heo Song-hyun creates the forty-sixth season of the Korean anime, Thunderclouds. Anime and manga see a huge rise in popularity due to the success of the long running anime series, Thunderclouds; and new artists and writers begin to produce their own. Hip-hop, Reggae, House, New Wave, Punk rock, and rock music grow in popularity in Korea. Alternate energy is invested in, and some wind farms continue construction. Solar farms also continue construction in some areas. Choi Kyo-ahn releases both a side game with the collaboration of Twilight Frontier along with the thirteenth game in the Touhou Project series, Hopeless Masquerade (東方心綺楼) and Double Dealing Character (東方輝針城), and has them both released on the tenth month. It gets huge sales. The Neptune Station, Neptune Station II, and Neptune Station III continues getting good sales. In Pyongyang, the Ryugyong Hotel continues construction. Samsung finishes making Gran Turismo 5 for the NSIII; and has it released on the eleventh month. It gets huge sales. Blizzard Entertainment releases the third expansion pack for World of Warcraft, Cataclysm; and it sees huge sales. Elections for a President ends; and the results are in. Park Geun-hye is elected in and becomes the first President of the Republic of Korea.
 * Lordship of Neu Norderney: It is 2010, and to celebrate five hundred and ten years since the first Oldenburger ship landed in Flagstaff Bay on the site of what is now the great city of Jacqueline, and five hundred and ten years since the land was first named "Neu Norderney", there is a great commemorative celebration, with festivities centred around the flagstaff, plaque, and large standing crucifix (now surrounded by a chapel); still standing half a millenium since the first explorers left them there. The indigenous people are not left out of the commemorations, with Prime Minister Mother Angelica taking the opportunity to note that Oldenburger settlement had its negatives as well as its positives. In Kuban-succession-related news, Lord Conrad, enjoying his spot in the world's limelight, announces that he will continue to pursue his "rightful claim", and challenges the Belizan candidate to let the Kuban people decide as per the relevant Kuban laws. In politics, Mother Angelica's revitalisation of the welfare and social security system begins being rolled out, with the healthcare system especially getting a huge upgrade, "bringing it into the 21st century." Transport infrastructure too is looked at, since some rural rail services are still running on steam (to the delight of trainspotters and romantics, but not many others).
 * Lombardy: Our military is continuing to increase in size due to technology becoming better. Factories still make weapons and vehicles for our military but they are not the mostly made items. With the increase of factories in the nation, more jobs are being created. The employment rate has continued to increase in the nation. Agriculture is the best industry in the nation. The railway industry is continuing to work on improving the tracks. Doctors are now continuing to use new technology to make people better. Cars are one of the only ways to get around these days besides using the train. Trade goes well with the Roman Empire. The navy continues to build ships for trade and for future tensions. Music similar to OTL grunge music starts to die down. While nu metal and punk music become popular. Most punk and nu metal bands that were underground are now popular. Fiat cars continue to be popular with the middle and rich class. A reality show called the Lombardy Mafia is gaining popularity with young adults. More games that are like OTL Nintendo games are continuing to be made by Marcoza Gaming for the Sega Box II and Sega Box III.
 * Union of Borealia:  As the Union enters the Age of Information, the technology of the community continues to grow exponentially. Medical research continues to develop means of growing spare body parts artificially, as well as perform surgeries with physics instead of chemistry. As robots are used more in industry, Artificial Intelligence is further developed to create more personal connections with these machines. Private companies work to make profits from both terrestrial and off-world mining. Massive government-sponsored projects work to digitize information from older libraries. New cross-cultural discussions on religion and philosophy bring communities from across the world closer together, thus increasing the popularity of the Reformist Church of Latter-Day Saints. In light of these discussions, a new form of scientific method based on Grecan first principles is also highly debated. Due to these cravings for information, however, many conspiracy theories have also begun to shape the internet community, as many believe the Illuminati Party in Rome is secretly forming a New World Order. A viral news story claims to have discovered conclusive evidence that the Curia are working on a functional time machine, using the gravity of Mars to slingshot a time-traveling space ship towards the Earth at a fourth-dimensional velocity.  A mysterious occurrence takes place where large sections of public water turns red and becomes toxic to drink. Mostly attributed to further radiation poisoning from last year, this shortage of water increases the earlier state of emergency. The Great Prophet-President Kamping is elected President for life. 
 * ​Colony of North Antarctica: Industry improves, villages expand. A new base is completed at the geographic South Pole. Archaeology in the ice continues.
 * Phoebe Lunar Outpost: Now a permanent residence for a small colony of citizens, using technology borrowed from Spain. Obsorvatories are taking advantage of the lack of atmosphere to probe into the deep parts of the observable universe. Mining operations to take samples of Lunar iron are also underway.
 * Amerigo Martian Outpost: Informally named "New New Munich", the Amerigo Mission establishes a permanent residence alongside Spanish colonists on Elysium Mons in the northern hemisphere of the Red Planet. Food and water sent with them are good for three years. The colony successfully manages to filter both oxygen and water from the frozen CO2 on Mars. Geologists on Mars discover the tremors are coming in regular, steady patterns. Some claim this to be evidence of some underground civilization on the planet, but scientists remain skeptical.
 * Hawaii: Military and economy improved. More buildings yet to come, while some troops recruit, but the weapons still not developed in the military bases yet but the best is maybe buy some of it. Meanwhile, at the navy there more ships constructed as well, with some battleships still yet to develop but it will take maybe next year.
 * Andea: Expand operations in the Indian Ocean, in order to maintain Andean Supremacy in the seas. Academia Romana wins the National Debate League title for the 2009-2010 Public Forum Season.
 * Roman Empire: The Roman Empire continues to recover from the shock of the Great War, in which many good Romans died. The Empire also focuses on its internal security and stability after noticing the power of the revolt in Africa and remembering painful memories of revolts in Italy and Egypt. Economic and civic policy are seen as key to improving stability and cohesiveness in the Empire. With that said, the Empire does have several foreign policy successes to note as well, mainly the unification of the Tartary and the return of order in the steppes. Trade continues to go well and the military continues to have a major part of Roman society, and new weapons like tanks, planes and better submarines now play a significant role in the way the Empire wages war. The financial crisis affects the Empire badly, and the economy suffers and many go without work. The current administration works to help mediate the crisis even though it knows its days are numbered. The civil war in the Caliphate forces the Empire and its ally Assyria to be on guard. Research in new areas of science continues. Nuclear physics are explored in universities in the Empire, however, no major breakthroughs or accomplishments have been recorded and governmental support is low. The Roman government continues to push for the completion of the Treaty of Constantinople, and Roman troops remain ready to fulfill the provisions as described. Nuclear research continues, and teh Sahara becomes a testing range for any detonations. New designs for advanced nuclear weapons based around the principles of fusion rather than fission are drawn up, and official funding for testing is given. The Roman military also looks into other high profile weapons such as chemical weapons. Automatic rifles and advanced rocketry are also researched and produced to help keep the Roman military on edge. The first Roman space station is sent up and manned by several astronauts, however the space station is not able to host people for long durations. The first thermonuclear detonation also occurs this year in the Chagos Islands, and the Roman military begins efforts to miniaturise the warheads to fit on ICBM missiles. More attacks occur, and the spread of the insurgency moves farther west. The imperial family are sent to Bulgaria, the last major state to not be partially affected by the rebels. The Roman government assures the international community that the Roman nuclear arsenal is under military control. The Roman government is very displeased with the unilateral action taken by Spain with regards to Madagascar, and sternly suggests that Spain act within the international community for such actions in the future.
 * Ban Republic of Croatia (Banska Republika Hrvatska): Sewerage systems similar to Ragusan ones are built in major towns of theBan Republic. With growing Ragusan influence, and the beginning of further colonization, the navy expands rapidly using much of the Ragusan expertise. Moreover, with the influx of new resources in form of lumber, labour and metals, the navy begins expanding at a fast rate. More and more ships capable of crossing the Atlantic with ease are built. The Sabor intends to restore the glorious naval culture of the Neretva peoples and plans to do so by expanding the navy. The kravata (tie) is more and more used as an accessory. Trade routes are strengthened and the salt mines around Tuzla are explored as well as the salt industry in Pag and Nin. Using irrigation from the Danube, Sava, Drava, Drina, Cetina, Una, Vrbaš, Kupa, Neretva and other rivers the fields in the kingdom are developed, used for crops such as wheat, rye and barley. With trade routes increasing and Croatia entering an era of peace and of stability, the development of new trade ships is issued. Stone mining is furthered as well as the timber industry. The need for these resources rises as urbanization carries on. Iron ores in Dugopolje, Zenice and at last the 'mud' ore in Vojvodina and Eastern Slavonia are to be exploited alongside the silver and copper ores more frequently and of better quality than the iron ores. The exploitation of iron ores in the Lika and Gorski kotar areas continues. The salt industry in Ston is funded by the government. The influx of resources from Dahomey aids the economy. However, the government makes sure that the gold arriving isn't immediately put on the market in order to control the inflation in the wprice of gold. The silver mine in Srebrenica is mined. Kotor Saraka (Adelaide) continues to expand. Draganić continues his research.
 * Isles of the Archvoivodeship (Otoci Nadvojvodstva): The infrastructure is built up.
 * Ban Republic of Carantania (Banska Republika Karantanija): Being an Alpine Slavic nation, the leaders begin a programme to create a standardized Carantanian language that will reflect on both the Slavic and Alpine (Germanic) aspects of Carantania.
 * Sukadang Županija: Croatization. Expansion into the other parts of Borneo.
 * White Croatia: Large-scale Croatization, numerous harsh measures are introduced to ensure White Croatia is Croatian.

2011
 The results of the Kuban election are officially announced, and the royal family of Neu   '''Norderney wins. The government of Belize is unhappy with the result, and relations between Belize and Kuba suffer a bit as a result. (This was done by RNG)'''


 * Korea: Korea continues to build up its military. Meanwhile, more Taoist and Buddhist temples are built. Taoism rises in popularity and gains more followers. The military in the autonomous province of Haejagang (해자강) continues to be on high alert and continues to heavily patrol the Korean settlements.

Solar farms also continue construction in some areas. Choi Kyo-ahn releases a side game in the Touhou Project series, Impossible Spell Card (탄막 아마노자쿠), and has it released on the tenth month. It gets huge sales. The Neptune Station, Neptune Station II, and Neptune Station III continues getting good sales. In Pyongyang, the Ryugyong Hotel finishes construction, and is opened to the public. It becomes amongst the tallest buildings in Korea, and the tallest hotel in Korea.
 * Union of Borealia:  As the Union enters the Age of Information, the technology of the community continues to grow exponentially. Medical research continues to develop means of growing spare body parts artificially, as well as perform surgeries with physics instead of chemistry. As robots are used more in industry, Artificial Intelligence is further developed to create more personal connections with these machines.

The Great and Powerful Prophet Kamping (Glory to Him) continues to cleanse the waters of Borealia with a mighy hand. Meanwhile, a small website known as "AltHistory Wiki" is created and quickly grows in populariy.

 * Ruthenia: The Ruthenians continue developing industry in their country.
 * Lordship of Neu Norderney: Lord Conrad X is immensely pleased with the results of the Kuban election. True to his word, he abdicates the Oldenburger throne in favour of his eldest son, Conrad XI, who in turn renounces his rights to the Kuban throne in favour of his younger brother, Richard. There will be no personal union crises now that the House of Oldenburg-Neu Norderney is in charge! It is a cold, windswept morning that the old Lord boards the SMS Herr Conrad, on his way to what he has jokingly described in the papers as his "Caribbean retirement". As the ship's engines roar to life, he looks back over the rail at the thousands of his subjects who came out to wish him farewell. And he can't help but shed a tear, because he knows that it is the last time he will see this land, the land of his youth, the land he has served for over fifty years. His home. Economy improves. Lord Conrad XI will have his coronation on New Year's Day. The government's social security revamp continues unabated.
 * Roman Empire: The Roman Empire continues to recover from the shock of the Great War, in which many good Romans died.

 * White Croatia: Large-scale Croatization, numerous harsh measures are introduced to ensure White Croatia is Croatian.

2012

 * Reme: Mother Reme has just taken a stroke, and may never fully recover... On the night of December 21st, people go about their normals lives, with conspiracy theories and stuff saying that the end of the world will be on this day, simply because the Mayan calendar simply stops. What they didn't know, is that this would be right... At 9:31 RST (Reman Standard Time) a plane loses contact with the local air traffic control center. People thought it was a normal miscommunication error, and tried to manually re-establish connection with the aircraft, however the plane does not cooperate, and continues... At 9:34, the plane can be seen entering the Federal District of Reman Government, with no specific reasoning. This has happened once or twice before with minor aircraft, but it hasn't been a major airliner before... The airplane continues until it's too late: It crashes into the parliament building and explodes, destroying a late session of congress trying to finish up their work before the Christmas holiday. Another plane, which was hijacked about two minutes later, crashes into the Presidential house, where the entire family dies. A third plane, which was able to be hijacked from all the ensuing chaos 3 minutes later, crashes into the economic hub of Neu Gotland, and causes the nation to panic. The attackers admit to be members of the TLF and BLR (Rome's thing) and declare the attacks a success. Anarchy envelops, and with all of the people to panicked over the situation, destroy a majority of the other large cities. Reme, in a dire state of emergency, asks Rome for help in restoring the order, and since the military and nessessicties for creating a provisional government are impossible, asks Rome to administer the lands of Reme until it can manage itself again
 * ​In response Andea commissions Operation: Thunderstrike. A plan to restore Reme to order over the course of the next 3 years with the deployment of 400,000 Andean Peacekeepers. The First 100k arrive in Reme this year.
 * Rome is poop. Spain is life. Spain sends top advisers and officials along with 100k soliders in conjunction with the Andean operation to aid in the restoration of the state. Spain also calls on the Useless Nations (UN) to take action.
 * Kuba also dispatches a peacekeeping force of 20,000, focusing on the areas surrounding New Hamburg to protect ethnic Germans in the area. Troops are also deployed to other areas to assist the Andeans and Spaniards.
 * Lombardy: Our military is continuing to increase in size due to technology becoming better. Factories still make weapons and vehicles for our military but they are not the mostly made items. With the increase of factories in the nation, more jobs are being created. The employment rate has continued to increase in the nation. Agriculture is the best industry in the nation. The railway industry is continuing to work on improving the tracks. Doctors are now continuing to use new technology to make people better. Cars are one of the only ways to get around these days besides using the train. Trade goes well with the Roman Empire. The navy continues to build ships for trade and for future tensions. Music similar to OTL grunge music starts to die down. While nu metal and punk music become popular. Most punk and nu metal bands that were underground are now popular. Fiat cars continue to be popular with the middle and rich class. A reality show called the Lombardy Mafia is gaining popularity with young adults. More games that are like OTL Nintendo games are continuing to be made by Marcoza Gaming for the Sega Box II and Sega Box III.
 * Union of Borealia:  As the Union enters the Age of Information, the technology of the community continues to grow exponentially. Medical research continues to develop means of growing spare body parts artificially, as well as perform surgeries with physics instead of chemistry. As robots are used more in industry, Artificial Intelligence is further developed to create more personal connections with these machines. Private companies work to make profits from both terrestrial and off-world mining. Massive government-sponsored projects work to digitize information from older libraries. New cross-cultural discussions on religion and philosophy bring communities from across the world closer together, thus increasing the popularity of the Reformist Church of Latter-Day Saints. In light of these discussions, a new form of scientific method based on Grecan first principles is also highly debated. Due to these cravings for information, however, many conspiracy theories have also begun to shape the internet community, as many believe the Illuminati Party in Rome is secretly forming a New World Order. A viral news story claims to have discovered conclusive evidence that the Curia are working on a functional time machine, using the gravity of Mars to slingshot a time-traveling space ship towards the Earth at a fourth-dimensional velocity. Strange phenomenon continues to plague the Union as the sun over the nation appears to go 1/3 dimmer, and 3 times hotter during the day. Atmospheric reactions to global warming are the current prevailing theory. Meanwhile, the Great, wise, and benevalent Prophet Kamping sends humanitarian aid to the Empire of Reme, spread the good news of the Bible and the Book of Kamping. 


 * ​Colony of North Antarctica: Industry improves, villages expand. A new base is completed at the geographic South Pole. Archaeology in the ice continues.
 * Phoebe Lunar Outpost: Now a permanent residence for a small colony of citizens, using technology borrowed from Spain. Obsorvatories are taking advantage of the lack of atmosphere to probe into the deep parts of the observable universe. Mining operations to take samples of Lunar iron are also underway.
 * Amerigo Martian Outpost: Informally named "New New Munich", the Amerigo Mission establishes a permanent residence alongside Spanish colonists on Elysium Mons in the northern hemisphere of the Red Planet. Food and water sent with them are good for three years. The colony successfully manages to filter both oxygen and water from the frozen CO2 on Mars. Geologists on Mars discover the tremors are coming in regular, steady patterns. Some claim this to be evidence of some underground civilization on the planet, but scientists remain skeptical. Investigations are made to find the origin of this phenomenon.


 * Korea: Korea continues to build up its military. Meanwhile, more Taoist and Buddhist temples are built. Taoism rises in popularity and gains more followers. The military in the autonomous province of Haejagang (해자강) continues to be on high alert and continues to heavily patrol the Korean settlements. Meanwhile, industrialisation and modernisation continue in Korea (similar to OTL Japan's Meiji Restoration). Investing in technology and science continues. The Hyundai Motor Company continues to build more cars. Meanwhile, the government continues the policy of neutrality in world affairs in general. Heo Song-hyun creates the forty-eighth season of the Korean anime, Thunderclouds. Anime and manga see a huge rise in popularity due to the success of the long running anime series, Thunderclouds; and new artists and writers begin to produce their own. Hip-hop, Reggae, House, New Wave, Punk rock, and rock music grow in popularity in Korea. Alternate energy is invested in, and some wind farms continue construction. Solar farms also continue construction in some areas. Choi Kyo-ahn releases a side game in collaboration with and Twilight Frontier, along with the fourteenth game in the Touhou Project series, Urban Legend in Limbo (東方深秘録) and Legacy of Lunatic Kingdom (東方紺珠伝), and has it released on the tenth month. It gets huge sales. The Neptune Station, Neptune Station II, and Neptune Station III continues getting good sales. Blizzard Entertainment releases the fourth expansion pack for World of Warcraft, Mists of Pandaria. It sees huge sales. The AltHistory Wiki sees popularity in Korea, with a lot of timelines being created in the Korean language. Some timlines become popular, such as Strangers in the Wind (a timeline that resembles OTL history), Easternised World, and April in Madrid (timeline centred on the TTL Spanish Empire defeating the Coalition and surviving). PSY releases Gangnam Style, and becomes hugely popular, and even making it hit the top ten music chart in Korea.
 * Ruthenia: The Ruthenians continue developing industry in their country.
 * Algonquia is rocked by yet another bombing this year, with the populace, and particularly the governing Algonquian National Party, enraged. Late in the year, journalists release evidence that the recent bombings have occurred in conjunction with the Arcadian government's secret service. The Arcadians deny it, but the Algonquian government and people are in no mood for platitudes. On Halloween Night, 2012, Algonquian troops pour across the St. Lawrence into Arcadia. Algonquian armoured spearheads strike for Neu Gotland and St. Johns, with conscription raising troop numbers to 300,000. The Algonquian air force launches preemptive strikes, shattering its Arcadian counterpart's ability to respond.
 * The Andean Navy moves into the North Atlantic decalring a blocakde on Algonquia for their drastic actions. We call for the international community to stop the violence.
 * Spain demands that Alongquia pulls out immediately or face international action. Sanctions are placed on both parties for the time being.
 * Kuba demands that Algonquia withdraw, apologize, and pay reparations to Arcadia, or face consequences for its aggression.
 * Spain ends military action in Madgascar and begins an occupation that will end in the election of a democratic government. Spain actually finds WMDs in Madagascar which had apparently been supplied to Madagascar by the Arabs or the Indians. Spain sends forces into Reme to aid in the stabilization of the nation as part of the Andean-led Operation Thunderstrike. Prime Minister Scrawlando declares that there is something rotten in the states of Borealia, as most of them have severe problems with one thing or the other. Prime Minister Scrawlando reaches out to Borealia and asks that our allies on the continent take action to restore normalcy around their borders. Meanwhile, Spain keeps the peace in its own continent and the surrounding regions. Spain makes a grand call to bring democracy to every corner of the world by 2030. Later in the year, a large part of the Nationalist Party leave the party and file for the creation of the New Right. It is true that Spain's political center has moved far to the left ever since the days of Scrawlando III, who moved the Nationalists away from the right and much more in the center, which resulted in large losses for the Moderates and the shift into the Nationalists and the subsequent reshuffling of the Moderate Party. Scrawlando's radical social policies combined with the Great Crisis has essentially moved the Nationalist ideology to the center-left, with the Moderates remaining in the center and the People's Front eventually picking up the pieces of the Union Party. However, the People's Front shift to the right associated them with the Union Party in the eyes of the people, meaning that the rightist parties had essentially lost their base as a major force in government until now. The split means that Scrawlando cannot push the Nationalist budget plan through Parliament without making sacrifices in foreign policy in favor of the far-left. The formation of the New Right results in the government being locked out and finally a vote of no confidence which results in the dismissal of Parliament. A shitty budget is put forth for the new year until it will be replaced, but it is seen as a bad thing for everyone. Scrawlando wastes no time in making sure Spanish involvement overseas will remain in effect until after the election, believing that he will return to his position. Meanwhile, the party leaders begin campaigning.
 * Lordship of Neu Norderney: Lord Conrad XI is crowned on New Year's Day in a dignified yet surprisingly cheap ceremony presided over by the Bishop of Jacqueline. When the shocking news comes from Reme, the Prime Minister sends a crisis response team to assist the Reman government in whatever way they can. Economy improves.
 * Roman Empire: The Roman Empire continues to recover from the shock of the Great War, in which many good Romans died. The Empire also focuses on its internal security and stability after noticing the power of the revolt in Africa and remembering painful memories of revolts in Italy and Egypt. Economic and civic policy are seen as key to improving stability and cohesiveness in the Empire. With that said, the Empire does have several foreign policy successes to note as well, mainly the unification of the Tartary and the return of order in the steppes. Trade continues to go well and the military continues to have a major part of Roman society, and new weapons like tanks, planes and better submarines now play a significant role in the way the Empire wages war. The financial crisis affects the Empire badly, and the economy suffers and many go without work. The current administration works to help mediate the crisis even though it knows its days are numbered. The civil war in the Caliphate forces the Empire and its ally Assyria to be on guard. Research in new areas of science continues. Nuclear physics are explored in universities in the Empire, however, no major breakthroughs or accomplishments have been recorded and governmental support is low. The Roman government continues to push for the completion of the Treaty of Constantinople, and Roman troops remain ready to fulfill the provisions as described. Nuclear research continues, and teh Sahara becomes a testing range for any detonations. New designs for advanced nuclear weapons based around the principles of fusion rather than fission are drawn up, and official funding for testing is given. The Roman military also looks into other high profile weapons such as chemical weapons. Automatic rifles and advanced rocketry are also researched and produced to help keep the Roman military on edge. The first Roman space station is sent up and manned by several astronauts, however the space station is not able to host people for long durations. The first thermonuclear detonation also occurs this year in the Chagos Islands, and the Roman military begins efforts to miniaturise the warheads to fit on ICBM missiles. More attacks occur, and the spread of the insurgency moves farther west. The imperial family are sent to Bulgaria, the last major state to not be partially affected by the rebels. The Roman government assures the international community that the Roman nuclear arsenal is under military control. Following the request of the Reman government, peacekeepers of the Roman military are sent to occupy the Reman Empire and faciliate stability within the Empire. This is done with the full understanding and support of the Reman government, and as such 350,000 Roman troops are sent to help the country get back on its feet and deal with the insurgency. Popular support is gained for this because of suspected links between the terrorist group that carried out the attacks and the remnants of the DLM back in the Roman Empire. 
 * Ban Republic of Croatia (Banska Republika Hrvatska): Sewerage systems similar to Ragusan ones are built in major towns of theBan Republic. With growing Ragusan influence, and the beginning of further colonization, the navy expands rapidly using much of the Ragusan expertise. Moreover, with the influx of new resources in form of lumber, labour and metals, the navy begins expanding at a fast rate. More and more ships capable of crossing the Atlantic with ease are built. The Sabor intends to restore the glorious naval culture of the Neretva peoples and plans to do so by expanding the navy. The kravata (tie) is more and more used as an accessory. Trade routes are strengthened and the salt mines around Tuzla are explored as well as the salt industry in Pag and Nin. Using irrigation from the Danube, Sava, Drava, Drina, Cetina, Una, Vrbaš, Kupa, Neretva and other rivers the fields in the kingdom are developed, used for crops such as wheat, rye and barley. With trade routes increasing and Croatia entering an era of peace and of stability, the development of new trade ships is issued. Stone mining is furthered as well as the timber industry. The need for these resources rises as urbanization carries on. Iron ores in Dugopolje, Zenice and at last the 'mud' ore in Vojvodina and Eastern Slavonia are to be exploited alongside the silver and copper ores more frequently and of better quality than the iron ores. The exploitation of iron ores in the Lika and Gorski kotar areas continues. The salt industry in Ston is funded by the government. The influx of resources from Dahomey aids the economy. However, the government makes sure that the gold arriving isn't immediately put on the market in order to control the inflation in the wprice of gold. The silver mine in Srebrenica is mined. Kotor Saraka (Adelaide) continues to expand. Draganić continues his research.
 * Isles of the Archvoivodeship (Otoci Nadvojvodstva): The infrastructure is built up.
 * Ban Republic of Carantania (Banska Republika Karantanija): Being an Alpine Slavic nation, the leaders begin a programme to create a standardized Carantanian language that will reflect on both the Slavic and Alpine (Germanic) aspects of Carantania.

Rockstar Games releases Grand Theft Auto V on the ninth month set in a redesigned New Vienna; and it sees huge sales, along with becoming the number one game of the year.
 * In Spain, the elections result in another bad situation. The Scrawlando Nationalists win a majority of the seats in Parliament, but not enough to form a government due to the rise of the New Right. The Nationalists eventually form a coalition with Future Freedom, the Labor-Progressives, and the center left Allied Congress that allows Scrawlando to form his government. Spain begins discussing the Project Northern Lights with Andea. Meanwhile, Spain continues its involvement overseas. Spain phases out paper currency ahead of schedule and is now only coins or electronic currency.
 * Andea begins perperation for Project Northern lights.
 * Lordship of Neu Norderney: The peacekeeping force remains in Reme, assisting the government however it can. In Neu Norderney, public belief in ridiculous conspiracy theories is at an all-time low, thanks to Brother Hans of the Fr St Georg Lemaitre Observatory's website, which continues providing solid scientific information to the masses. The Prime Minister, in recognition of his good work, recommends him for a knighthood, which Lord Conrad XI swiftly grants him. The government expresses its concern at the increasing cult of personality surrounding the "Prophet"-President of Borealia.
 * Lombardy: Our military is continuing to increase in size due to technology becoming better. Factories still make weapons and vehicles for our military but they are not the mostly made items. With the increase of factories in the nation, more jobs are being created. The employment rate has continued to increase in the nation. Agriculture is the best industry in the nation.

The colony successfully manages to filter both oxygen and water from the frozen CO2 on Mars. At some point this year, the martian settlements are completely cut off from the world for three months. When communication was finally reestablished, everyone on the base seemed to have experienced the same delusion, that an army of parasitical locusts emerged from inside the planet and attacked the colonists. 
 * To be clear, Spanish people do not live here.
 * Republic of China: Following years of isolationism, a Nationalist Party takes power in the 2013 snap elections. They immediately begin a military buildup and attack the Japanese territory in China. China reveals it has limited nuclear capabilities and may have nuclear weaponry. We follow up the invasion of Japan by a declaration of war on Korea. Bombing raids begin against the Japanese territory in China as we make advances.


 * Japanese Diplomacy: We are deeply saddened and are extremely furious with China, who has attacked us for no other reason than for some petty revenge quest, when since World War II, we have tried to be a peaceful and prosperous nation. Now innocent people will die because of your actions, people with hopes and dreams, people with loved ones. Because China has not only attacked our sovereign territory, but also conducted bombing raids which result in high civilian causalties, as well as declare war on our allies Korea, one of the most peaceful nations on Earth, Japan is forced to declare war on China to defend our people and our ally Korea. We also urge the international community to join us to defend us and Korea, and once that has been achieved, to overthrow the rogue government of China in Beijing and to implement a sane government.
 * This right here is some bullshit.
 * Agreed-Kame
 * Japan: Following the Chinese attacks on our soil and our civilians as well as the Chinese declaration of war on our ally, Korea, The Prime Minister of Japan, Shinzo Abe, urges the National Diet to declare war on China and to implement emergency legislation to help with the war effort. The National Diet agrees with the Prime Minister and we officially declare war on the rogue Republic of China to defend our soil and our civilians as well as our allies. Prime Minister Abe urges the Japanese people to help defend Japan from Chinese invasion, whether it be through fighting as soldiers or contributing to the war effort by joining the work force. The Japanese government invests to the war effort, and Japanese industry also contributes to it. This, in addition to a surge of Japanese economy, leads to a war time economic boom and soldiers are trained in defensive combat to defend Japan and membership of the Japanese Army increases to 1 million soldiers.
