Congress of Vienna (Map Game)

This is me, Laptop Zombie. I open this map game, which aims to find an idea of what will go on in my new timeline.

'''Note: Timeline version created at Map Game Congress Of Vienna. Thank you.'''

The Rules

 * 1) I will start the game a bit differently.
 * 2) The game will start on Dec. 23, or year 1816.

1831
Game is now restarted.
 * Belgium: Voyage southwards in the Atlantic to reach Africa and find some colonies.
 * Piedmont-Sardinia: Colonists are sent to Madagascar, the Solomon Islands and OTL Darwin. Military expands, and King Charles Felix passes away and is succeeded by King Victor Emmanuel II. An offer is made to the Papal States that Piedmont-Sardinia will fund the relocation of any colonists in the Horn of Africa, as the Papal State leaves the Horn to Piedmont-Sardinia. The Maori tribes are granted some autonomy.
 * Even Britain could not establish colonies in Madagascar, the Solomons and Northern Australia at the same time. Especially not with an infant colony in New Zealand and the Horn of Africa.
 * Russian Empire: The Tsar announces the expansion of the Imperial Navy, including the building of many more ships for exploration and war on the East Coast and Alaska. Many exploration ships are to be sent farther south down the Pacific Ocean, and colonize any part of America not yet colonized.
 * Bavaria: By November, the Museum of Human and Natural History in Munich is finished, and opened in a grand ceremony. Intellectuals and commoners alike travel from across the kingdom to view the curiosities brought back from the Pacific, and the museum's curators begin scouring the country for items they deem to be of historical worth. King Ludwig decides that there should be a military/scientific body specifically made for overseas expeditions of exploration and knowledge. Therefore, Ludwig creates the Royal Expeditionary Force, which is effectively a navy with a mainly scientific viewpoint. He orders three large sloops be built in Maxhaven for the use of the REF, and orders officers and sailors be found for the ships. He places its command under the Captain of the Pacific Expedition, and names him Commodore of the REF. Plans for another expedition for next year are drawn up, this time to the frozen continent of Antarctica. The Army is built up a bit, and talks begin with other SGAS members on an economic union.
 * Greece, upon sending ships towards Africa, decide to settle in OTL Luanda. A small colony is founded.
 * Spain: Spain further industrialises and modernizes its cities and reaches 25% of urbanization and industrialization. Gives Prussia the airship technology in exchange for a strong military alliance.  Asks if Spain can join the Mediterranean. The navy is expanded and modernized for its next invasion against South America.  The Pacific Fleet lands in Spain and the objects discovered were sent to the National Science Academy, where they were sorted out. Researches were made for the first pasteurization. Potato chips are now sold in many shops. Asks to exchange embassies with all European countries. Makes a colony in Madagascar and prepares to settle in all parts of America that hasn't been settled yet. Gives the Maori tribes in New Zealand some autonomy, but unfair trials and persecutions were held in New Zealand to weaken the Maori tribes. An expeditionary force was also created, similar to Bavaria's. Another expedition is drawn up to Antarctica also, in the intention of not losing to Bavaria in the exploration part.
 * Piedmont-Sardinia: You shall be added to the Mediterranean Railway.
 * Prussia: Builds up the Army and the Navy. Industrialises and urbanizes its country. Gives Russia the airship designs. The government develops the first telegraph. Sends a large fleet to the Pacific like Bavaria and Spain. Embraces a military plan similar to Spain's and builds the first air force. Asks for a trade agreement with Bavaria.
 * Papal States: The Piedmont offer is accepted and so the Papal East Africa Company is renamed to the Papal East Indies Company, relocating the colonials to Indochina (Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia). The plan proposes the natives of the region to be easily dealt with because of the modern fleet of the Papal States and the Sinai Corps and the Mercenaries Corps. Almost all of Vietnam will be occupied, and the colonials will expand. The company tries to establish trade relations with China, with no success. The Parliament announces an increase of funding to construction of new industries. Recruitment starts over the Holy Land and Central Italy.
 * ​Is this Map Game still open for joining?
 * ​All map games are open for joining, at least that I know of.
 * Yeah, just sign next to an un-taken nation.
 * Thanks.
 * USA: President Andrew Jackson announces the expansion of the U.S. Navy and the formation of the U.S. Asiatic Fleet. In the meantime, U.S. industry is built up and the so-called U.S. Naval Exploration Squadron (like Bavaria's) is formed.

1832
Proposed more likely map in the talk page.
 * Bavaria: The Prussian offer of a trade agreement is accepted. Details for a Southern German Economic Zone continue to be hammered out by the diplomats in the South German Alliance Congress. Two ships of the Royal Expeditionary Force depart Maxhaven for Antarctica, and after some months sailing, sight OTL Queen Maud Land. The explorers land on the coast, and name it King Ludwig I Land. After some time ashore, studying the penguins and seals, the ship continues along the coast, mapping as it goes.
 * Piedmont-Sardinia: Algerian, Somalian and Australian colonies expand. Industrialization continue, and balloon production continues. Offers to grant Bavaria scientific outposts all Piedmontese colonies, and offers an alliance. Navy increases, and offers a trade agreement to Greece. Soldiers are sent to all colonies as a basic defense, and expeditionary forces are sent and make contact with the Igbo people.
 * Bavarian D: The Secretary for Exploration, Antiquities and Science thanks the Piedmontese for their very generous offer, and says that the Bavarian scientists will arrive next year. The King, after much discussion with his Cabinet, agrees to the alliance, and will send an Ambassador Extraordinaire early next year to sign the documentation.
 * Russian Empire: The 100,000 soldiers trained in desert combat are immediately signed to the Army Post in Novosibirsk, though reinforcements take a while, due to the distance of the city from Moscow. This helps advocate the development of the European Railway, which eastern terminus will be Novosibirsk. This will help with the planned expansion of the Empire into Central Asia. New massive shipyards are being expanded on the Pacific Coast and Alaska, to allow for larger fleets in the Imperial Navy to master the Pacific Ocean. Captain Lt. Alexander Balakirev, war hero of the Ottoman War, is selected as Commander of the American Expedition, and named to command the fleet of ships which will place Russian forts of the West Coast of North America.
 * Belgium: Settles in OTL Angola. Proposes a European Congress where European nations help others colonize the rest of the world.
 * Russian Diplomacy: Offers to join the European Congress for Colonization.
 * Bavarian Diplomacy: Although sceptical of how the congress would work (seeing as nations compete for colonies), the Bavarians hope the congress could be useful for establishing spheres of influence, thereby hopefully preventing unnecessary wars over colonies. So Bavaria asks to be an observer at the Congress.
 * Papal States D: We agree with the idea and request to join.
 * Piedmont-Sardinia D: We shall there.
 * Belgium D: Our idea is that the world is wide and enough for all of us, just we don't want that Europeans fight each other.
 * Greece expands its colony in Luanda, and also tells Belgium to remove itself from Angola or there will be WAR. Greece also founds a colony in OTL Accra.
 * Belgium D: Leaves Angola and settles at OTL Namibia. The colony is called "The Southern Land".
 * Just for the record, Angola is Portuguese. 
 * When did the Portuguese settle in Angola in OTL? I thought after 1835. Regards, Laptop Zombie 14:32, February 14, 2013 (UTC)
 * ​Papal States: The Colonials reach Indochina coast and start colonizing. In the Holy Land the Papal forces discover a plant that could be sold and produced in Indochina, Opium poppy. Some of that plant are already being sent to Indochina and other to try to start trading with China. The goverment plans to make the christians majority in the Holy Land and so sent most of the muslims to colonize the Ivory coast, together with some troops. The Papal Center of Science send most of the scientists to catalog plants and animals in Indochina that may be unknow.
 * Austria: Austria asks Prussia if Union as the German Empire would be acceptable, with Prussia's player being that nations player.
