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.

The Rules

 * 1) I will start the game a bit different.
 * 2) The game will start on Dec. 23, or year 1816. Start delayed until at least one user took a nation from the Stockholm alliance list. Remember everybody have got some good sides and some bad sides, so don't hesitate. And you have allies from the list as well.
 * 3) One OTL Day will be half a year and one turn.
 * 4) Turns start at 10 a.m. UTC everyday, anybody can start the turn, not just mod.
 * 5) One nation per user.
 * 6) Archive every 15 years.
 * 7) Do not break alliances before 1825, except if the other members agree to punish that nation.
 * 8) No nukes before 1910, no space before 1930. Random.org on who gets them first.
 * 9) I am the mapmaker and mod for now.
 * 10) Mods may not be players.
 * 11) There won't be any UN until I delete this rule.
 * 12) Playground is the Europe before 1835, and the World thereafter. No colonial changes before 1835, and no military summon from colonies either.
 * 13) You can be an occupied nation and declare independence.
 * 14) Random.org will decide who gets nukes first.
 * 15) Every nations will be assigned a number for Random.org.
 * 16) This is not really like a rule, but I would like a Religious War.
 * 17) Make a country page in the category, and a profile in the Diplomacy Page (coming soon).

1816
'''Mod event: Russia prepares for Swedish invasion with a naval fleet of 20 ships and 700,000 troops. Denmark and the Netherlands sign a mutual defense treaty.'''
 * Bavaria HM King Maximillian decides to improve the royal Bavarian army, and orders an inspection of its current state. He also begins a nation building campaign to unite the different cultures and religions into one solid nation under his rule.
 * Sweden Charles XIII is unhappy with the spread of Catholicism in the Finnish lands, and blames the growing Russian influence in the area. 230,000 troops, 65,000 irregular cavalry and 40 cannons begin to assemble in forts at the Swedish-Russian border in anticipation of a planned attack on the Catholic threat. Sweden seeks to open an embassy to the Ottoman Empire to strengthen relations between the two nations.
 * United Kingdom: Due to the cost of the war from on the continent and the heavy impact on trade, several new laws are passed through parliment in order to protect British buisnesses while the army is reduced in size, with the money taken from its budget to be spent on the Navy instead. The Leeds to Liverpool canal is completed and a monument to Admiral Nelson is built in Edinburough. British foriegn policy is decided as preserving the "balance of power in Europe, while trying not to become intangled in any major alliances".
 * Belgium: Fearful of the Netherlands' alliance with Denmark, Belgium asks Sweden for an alliance to counter the Netherlands' treaty. Belgium begins working on their industry, seeking to become a great industrial power.
 * Sweden is happy to form an alliance, but wonders why there is cause for concern in the Dutch-Danish coalition. We are all Protestant countries and should be combating the ignorant Catholics, not each other.
 * Belgium believes that the Netherlands may be jealous of their lost lands (us), but we are happy to negotiate with them.
 * Sweden agrees to form an alliance and keep an eye of the Netherlands in future.
 * Piedmont-Sardinia: Offers France unrestricted military access as well as gold and a royal marriage in exchange for the island of Corsica. Piedmont-Sardania also begins building of the navy and offers higher wages for sailors, and increases size of its army. Also Piedmont-Sardania begins to hire privateers to harass ships in the Baltic Sea to disrupt trade.
 * France: We accept your Gold military access and royal marriage with pleasure
 * Greece rebels from Ottoman rule, and a small independent Greek state is founded near Kalamata. The Greeks continue to expand their small country. Greece also asks for recognition from other states, both Catholic and Protestant.
 * Sweden recognises the new state and sends four fine courtesans for the Greek royalty as a gift.
 * Piedmont-Sardinia recognizes Greece as a state and offers a trade agreement as well as sends funds to combat the Ottomans.
 * France:we will aid you in any way we can,
 * Bavaria Offers aid to Greece, and the king offers his brother, 21 year old Karl-Theodore as a candidate to be king of Greece. (A similar thing happened otl.)
 * Papal States: The Pope requests a trade agreement to Piedmont-Sardinia, Naples and the Austrian Empire, claming that the Italian peninsula should be together in the future times. Investiments were made in industries around Rome and to the development of the military. The Pope called all the catholic nations to a conference in Rome to discuss a possible help to the Greek rebels.
 * Piedmont-Sardinia accepts the trade agreement.
 * France: We will aid the greeks, to fight for their independence, with the sole condition for them to take Constantinople, while this we ask spain to cede louisiana to France and the army begins building up, France declares neutrality in any future conflict outside the Greek independence, and if they take the Nova roma we will openly enter their independence war
 * No colonial changes until 1835. Pavillion (talk) 11:57, December 24, 2012 (UTC)
 * Denmark:.Asks to join Swedens alliance with Belgium hoping Netherlands will revoke all claims on Flemmish land. Prepares to aid Sweden against Russia sends a fleet of 25 ships as well as 600,000 infantry men. Begins a massive navy build-up, as like their army.
 * Sweden happily forms an alliance with Denmark, and thanks them for their military assistance.

1816.5
'''Mod event: The Netherlands claim the Danish - Dutch alliance to simply be a continuation of the alliance that already exist. It wishes to offer mutual defense agreement to all Protestants. The Russian Tsar suddenly dies and the new Tsar prepare for attack on the Ottomans.'''

Someone pls do the map for me. I'm away for one or two days. Laptop_Zombie 13:12, December 24, 2012 (UTC)

I added the Greek state - let me know if they're any problems. Pavillion (talk) 13:53, December 24, 2012 (UTC)

If the yellowish orangish state in Southern Germany is meant to be Bavaria, then I must admit it is way too big. Could someone perhaps change it to the otl post-Vienna Congress borders, found here, as I don't want an unfair or unrealistic advantage, and such a spread-out and multi-ethnic/religious nation will be hard to govern. Thanks, Callumthered (talk) 07:39, December 25, 2012 (UTC)

I was under the impression that it was not just Bavaria, but all Catholic states of the HRE. Nevertheless, it should not be that big and will change it after Christmas dinner :3 Pavillion (talk) 11:12, December 25, 2012 (UTC)

It was at first meant to be representing all Protestants - allied German states


 * Sweden: The navy's presence in the Baltic Sea is strengthened, while troops begin to march on Saint Petersburg and Danish ships bombard the docks of the city. Research into railroads begin.
 * Belgium: We join the Protestant alliance happily, ready to assist any nation in the alliance as needed. We recognize the Greek state. We begin working on military, and research into primitive factories begin.
 * Denmark: Danish ships land on Russia. Mass waves of troops march through the cities, burning every city they pass to the ground. Research begins on railroads also.
 * Piedmont-Sardinia: The number of hired pirates and privateers in the Baltic increases greatly in response to the Protestant invasion of Russia, meanwhile the newly increase navy and army are used to invade northern Tunisia . As this happens modernization begins and forts are being built in the mountainous and hilly regions of the country.
 * Tunisia was part of the Ottoman Empire in 1816. Pavillion (talk) 00:54, December 25, 2012 (UTC)
 * My bad Daxus Inferno (talk) 03:43, December 25, 2012 (UTC)Daxus Inferno
 * Papal States: The Pope condemns the Sweden-Denmark attack on Russia, but don't enter the war. He also recognizes Greece as a independent nation and offer naval support to the new country but requests a trade agreement. The Pope also announced the creation of a Mercenary Corps inside the Papal Army and started recruitment inside Papal States and plan to recruit also outside. He also plans to start researches with Papal scientists and created the Papal Center of Science, offering Piedmont-Sardinia to join the researches to improve the speed of researches in both nations
 * Piedmont-Sardninia: We accept the invitation.
 * Greece thanks all the states that have helped it in the revolt against the Ottomans, and agrees to all trade agreement offers. A capital is founded in Kalamata, and the Greeks push north on the western side of the Peloponnese towards Araxos.
 * Bavarian D HM again offers his brother as a candidate to be king of Greece, and also offers 2000 Bavarian troops to assist the Greeks.
 * Russian Diplomacy: Offers the Greeks to join our alliance, as we are the closest major force to crush the Ottoman Empire, and could help build your military up.
 * France:we continue asking the greeks to do a fast push in the ottoman empire and take over constantinople or a major victory agains't the ottomans if you succede we will aid you at achieving and keeping independence
 * Russian Empire: A messenger is sent to all of Russia's allies, asking for their help in fighting off the Protestant threat, as they have invaded our great Empire. The Imperial Russian Army is authorized to fight back against the Swedish and Danish attacks near the Baltic Territories. An attack on the Ottoman Empire is considered bad timing by many Royal experts, saying that the Swedish and Danish will likely enlist their Alliance against our vast territory. However, there is still a massive reserve for the Imperial Russian Empire, the current Tsar says, saying that they plan to enlist soldiers from the Caucasus region, namely Georgian and ethnic Armenians, to make the Caucasian Division, which will fight against the Ottoman Empire, and bring back the historical Greater Armenia within the Russian Empire (It is also rich in many minerals, making it a further bonus for Russia). It's a great time for weapons manufacturor, as many as 100,000 men are hired by the Imperial Arms Company, especially as there are looks into developing a new type of musket rifle, named the Alexander I rifle, in memory of the previous Tsar. Since Alexander I had no sons, his brother, Constantine I, names himself, Emperor of All Russia, and it's his decision to invade the Ottoman Empire. The Imperial Russian Navy suffers massive losses early in the war from the Swedish and Danish Navies. However, it is known that Russia has the third largest Navy in the world, only behind the British and French, and many ships are sent to perform a counterattack against the Invading Force in the Baltics, with plans to build up a massive force on the Black Sea coastline, which is surrounded by the Ottoman Empire.
 * Bavaria The Investigation on the army commissioned last year has come back with quite disappointing results: many units are not at full strength, and many soldiers and officers are on unapproved leave. HM appoints a team of experts to fix the problems. HM a,so tours the country, unveiling statues and generally improving national spirit. Bavaria decides to remain neutra in the Balkan war for now.

1817
'''Mod event: The Netherlands send a fleet of 15 ships to Russia aiding the Swedish - Danish alliance, and offer Greece alliance. The French Navy is devastated as plague struck Switzerland, France and the Austrian Empire. An earthquake struck the Ottomans.'''

I gave Bavaria a more realistic size, and redistibuted German, Austrian, Russian and Northern Polish lands slightly to even out the land lost and gained by the change. Pavillion (talk) 11:21, December 25, 2012 (UTC)

Thank you for making Bavaria more realistic! Could I further trouble you by asking if you could perhaps make the Palatinate Bavaria's colour? (It's the blobby exclave to the west, see the Wikipedia map of Bavaria). I'd do it myself, but I'm away on holidays. Callumthered (talk)

Is that not Luxembourg to the west? Pavillion (talk) 15:01, December 26, 2012 (UTC)


 * Sweden thanks its allies for aiding it in the war against Russia. The Battle of St. Petersburg begins to turn in favour of the Russians thanks to their navy, but the arrival of Dutch ships quickly turns the tables of the defending nation. The flags of Sweden, the Netherlands and Denmark are hoisted above the walls of Palace Square despite the fact that much of the southern city is still held by Russian forces. Casualties are high on both sides, and Sweden begins to deploy 10 cannons and 20,000 more troops to the city. A crackdown on mysterious pirates is held in the Baltic Sea, as Sweden believes they are Russian in origin (which is wrong).
 * Denmark:  A few more ships and 15,000 more armed soldiers land on Russia. Cannons are laid all over occupied St. Petersburg. Danish paramilitants sneak into Russian St.Petersburgh and burn alot of their food and other supplies thinking if they destroy their economy Russia will surrender. Denmark officialy recognizes Greece as an independent state, and will aid them in defeating the Ottomans as soon as we defeat Russia.
 * Russian Empire: As Swedish, Dutch and Danish ships and military repeatedly attack St. Petersburg, Constantine I has no plans to surrenders, and appears to soldiers still based in the Empire's Capital, saying that he won't leave, as that would be cowardly for the Emperor of All Russias to leave his country at need. Unfortunately for the Russians, the French and Austrians appear to be going through a plague of unknown detirmination. A messenger is sent to Great Britain, asking for their powerful Navy to help defend Russia. The Invasion of the Ottoman Empire is put on hold, in order to send all available soldiers to the North, to fend off the Invasion.
 * Piedmont-Sardinia: Deciding that the Protestant Invasion of Russia was going badly, we send our most of out fleet and army into into the north and seize Iceland in a suprise attack and begin destroying settlements in Greenland and begin the first landings onto Iceland, and send several ships to ferry 7,00 soldiers and 6 cannons to the Crimean Penninsula to march north with 600 soldiers on them to Greece, offering these troops in return for large quantaties of wine and three dozen Greek soldiers, we also ask Great Britain for military access.
 * Swedish D: We must point out that the troops you have landed in Crimea will never reach St. Petersburg in time to provide a decent defense. You may as well turn back, and stop seizing Danish lands with little to no motivation while you're at it.
 * Mod: Piedmont - Sardinian troops will die very quickly in that way even when they haven't reach Greenland and Iceland yet.  How could your army arrive at Greenland and Iceland?
 * Via Boat
 * It would take far more than half a year to sail all the way from Sardinia/Piedmont in 1817 to Iceland AND Greenland, then commit a "surprise attack" that siezes the entire islands to you. Pavillion (talk)
 * Fair enough.
 * Papal States: In order to help the Greeks, the Papal Navy together with the army are sent to invade Crete and Cyprus, while sends weapons and funds to the new Greek State. With the help of the Piedmont-Sardinia in the researches, the speed is almost double and the Pope promises to share the tecnologies discovered with Piedmont-Sardinia. The Greeks are invited to participate the Papal Center of Science and will be granted to then all the tecnologies available in the Papal States. The Mercenary recruitment is a success and is expanded to Naples and Sicilia.
 * Greece accepts the alliance with the Netherlands and Sweden-Denmark, and also accepts the Bavarian Prince to become the future King of Greece, on one condition: He MUST marry a Greek woman. The troops push towards Patras on the northern coast of the Pelopponese. Greece also thaks Piedmont-Sardinia and the Papal States for support of their fledgling nation.
 * Piedmont-Sardinia D:So do you accept our offer?
 * Bavaria Prince Karl Theodore sails to Greece to be crowned King. Upon his arrival, he swears to marry a Greek woman, and to convert to Greek Orthodox. With him is 2000 Bavarian troops, who will stay in Greece until everything is settled in the new country. He also has architects, military advisors for the Greek army, beurocrats and other officials vital in running a new country. The king of Bavaria hopes that sharing a dynasty will bring Bavaria and Greece good relations for many years to come.
 * France: We declare war against the Ottoman Empire to help the Greek forces to retake Greece and Thrace, aswell to expulse a possible threat for the Alliances from European land, the military is built up and the army stands by on Greece royal land awaiting to hit the Empire.
 * Bavaria The army inspectors gradually improve the state of the army, and begin to reorganise it. King Max is very pleased that a Wittelsbach will be on the Greek throne, and asks the Greeks to set up an e,bassy in Munich. Meanwhile, the parliament passes a Museum Act, which aims to establish three museums in Munich.
 * Denmark: 150,000 troops march through Russia. They poison wells and burn crops. They carry their own supplies in a cart with a cannon on the front of it. Multiple boats surrond the Baltic Sea to stop any goods entering Russia .Many Russians starve. A few men catapault dead, smallpox infected men into large cities they pass. Denmark states that the Russian empire shall stand down or multiple people will suffer. A few 50,000 men are pulled out along with a few  boats from Russia in case Pidemont-Sardina gets any smart ideas

1817.5
Mod event


 * Greece accepts Piedmont-Sardinia's proposal (sorry if I didn't make it clear enough before) and continues expanding over the Peloponnese. Greece also thanks France for their help.
 * Mod: Come on, which alliance are you on, Greece?
 * Sweden and the Protestant forces capture St. Petersburg, the imperial capital city of Russia, and Russian government and royalty are forced to flee to another city and establish government there. Sweden proposes to the other protestant nations that the nations of Latvia, Estonia and Lithuania should be liberated from Russian rule before forces retreat from Russian lands. The Swedish Navy capture 30 pirates and discover that they don't speak Russian, but a mixture of  Piedmontese, Italian and French. Swedish spies are secretly sent to France, Piedmont-Sardinia, the Papal States and the Austrian Empire to discover which country is responsible for the terrorising of Baltic coasts.
 * Denmark:  Fearing possible Catholic invasion and likely plague, the king and multiple important people move the government to Nuuk, Greenland. A millitary general is put in charge of giving orders in Denmark. The first repeating rifle is made. Some 2,000 men skilled in Russian start secretly raiding British ships with stolen Russian boats from St.Petersburg. In Russia, Denmark sends citizens to preach Protestant ways and to revolt against Russia. Military expansion speeds up, gving Denmark has the 8th largest Navy. Denmark also has te third largest para military group.
 * Piedmont-Sardinia: The Piedmonteese army now controles Iceland due to it's small population making it easy to conquer, and with winter being over the temperate climat kicks-in reducing attrition.  Learning that the Danish capital had been moved, a group of fifteen ships carrying hundred of soldiers land in the small settlement/capital of Nuuk and leave the place as a pile of ashes as well as up and down the fjords of Norway to pillage and Orkney and the Farose Islands . The amount of hired pirates in the Baltic increases greatly and are ordered to stay in hiding until further notice. Meanwhile a dozen Greek "fine wine merchants" appear in Stockholm, Copenhagen, and Swedish/Danish controled Russia and sell some fine recently-poisoned wine to political and military leaders as well as large Protestant cathedrals where Blood-of-Christ/wine will be served. We ask for military access from France and offer Denmark peace under the circumstances that Piedmont-Sardinia gain the south-west quarter of Iceland and they end their support for Sweden's invasion of Russia, these terms are negotiable. Piedmont-Sardinia also increases production of ships but it will be a while before they are finished.
 * Why don't you just drop nuclear bombs on everybody while you're at it?
 * Fine, I'll nerf my actions a bit. Also, Nuuk is definetly close enough that it can be sailed to in less than 6 months and it has a very low population, and Denmark made a mistake in putting their capital close to an enemy navy.
 * Mod: You can't destroy the Danish capital that quickly. The Danish Military is not that weak.
 * Their military is all the way in the in mainland Denmark and that is only a fraction of their army, the rest is in Russia, they made no move to send soliders to Greenland
 * There must already be some there. It's Danish property, it's impossible there's none already there.
 * 'Any soldiers there would be samll in numbers. All of Greenland in 2012 has a population of less than 30,000 and Nuuk in 2012 has 15,000. It would be like raiding a settlement.
 * Bavaria The Army Inspectors unveil their brand new organisation system for the army. It will consist of 3Army corps, each consisting of 4 brigades. The King and the Parliament approve of the plan, and it is started to be implemented. Bavaria offers 500 more troops to Greece, and again asks them if embassies can be constructed. (BTW, by the blobby bit, I didn't mean Luxembourg, I meant the blob on the map on the Wikipedia page on the Kingdom of Bavaria)

1818
'''Plague continues and spread to Piedmont-Sardinia while it doesn't seems to expand northwards. The "fine wine merchants" and their poisoned wine from Greece are discovered in Sweden and burned, and Naples - Sicily declares alliance with Denmark in the Greenlandish Piedmontese - Danish war, and send a fleet to Greenland and Iceland. Iron mine is found in Sweden. Luxembourg ask for a meeting of Protestants next turn, inviting Greece and Bavaria.'''


 * Naples-Sicily is in the Quadruple Alliance and it says in the rules no breaking the alliance until 1825. Daxus Inferno (talk) 12:52, December 27, 2012 (UTC)Daxus Inferno
 * Why I did that is that it's proper defend. You see that sometimes a nation wishes peace to ensure it's not left out. And look at the Concert of Europe. Everybody wants a balance of power. Laptop_Zombie 10:32, December 28, 2012 (UTC)

If this is OK, a new page at Protestants' Alliance (Congress of Vienna Map Game) will be created so that discussion between these states will be there for 3 turns.
 * Denmark: 20 Ships defend Nuuk, along with 30 land cannons and 100,000 soldiers. Denmark excepts Pidemont-Sardina's offer, but only if they can join the Papal states in technology research.  The poisoned wine is burned. To prevent pirates, ships now have to get premission from King Frederick VI to enter Denmark.
 * Papal States D: We accept, but only if Piedmont-Sardinia also accepts.\
 * Piedmont-Sardinia D: We accept as well.
 * Nuuk is already kinda in ashes...
 * Papal States: The fleet sent to invade Crete reaches the island and the troops land with no problem. Due to the Modern weapons of the Papal Army and Mercenaries with good war experience, the troops have a great advance, however don't conquer the island. The fleet is surrounding the island making impossible to any ship to informe mainland Ottoman Empire of the invasion, so no more troops will come. The landing in Cyprus is done with no problem also, but due to the size of the island the troops stayed on south util the ships help in battles on North. The Pope made a public speech closing the border with Naples-Sicily due to the attack on an Ally. Due to the spread of the plague to North Italy, imigration is almost closed due to the mesures used to seach the ones wanting to enter the Papal States. The troops that were protecting Rome were sent to the Papal States/Naples Sicily Border.
 * Denmark: Capital is moved  to Copenhagen.
 * Piedmont-Sardinia: Pirates hired by Piedmont-Sardinia are ordered to attack the Swedish island of Gotland with 30 ships and 1,800 pirates, but by the time pillaging is done militia react but a bit too late but manage to cut the pirates down to 1,450 and further arguments over loot and command cut the pirates down to 1,350. Meanwhile in Piedmonteese Iceland 40,000 soldiers and 15 cannons are left, while the rest are called back. King Victor Emmanuel I begins a settlement policy onto their new Icelandic lands as well as sends Catholi missionaries and a small settlement called Emmanuelia is formed at the south-western most point of Iceland. Piedmont-Sardinia also sends 100 soldiers to Greece to train the revolutionaries and asks the members of the Quadruple Alliance to vote whether or not Naples-Sicily gets to stay (not just in the Alliance but on the map). The navy also increases in size, as well as the army, and a quarantine policy is placed in zones with the plauge.
 * Sweden: The Swedish Navy is recalled from the St. Petersburg and begins to combat pirates on the way to Gotland. Missionaries begin to preach Lutheranism in annexed parts of Russia, and King Charles XIII makes a speech in Swedish and Latvian telling the nations of Latvia, Lithuania and Estonia to rise up against their Russian oppressors and become equals - not slaves - of other nations. Also convinced that Piedmont-Sardinia is the cause of widespread poisonings and pirate attacks within Sweden, the King calls upon the Protestant Alliance to stop trading with Piedmontese merchants. The Swedish embassy is recalled from Turin and railroads are built connecting Copenhagen to Stockholm.
 * Russian Empire: Having fled from St. Petersburg in embarassment, a new Imperial Capital is placed in Moscow, the next largest city, which is decently away from the Invasion Zone. The Tsar orders the execution of all the Commanders of the Imperial Russian Army, for their failure to defend this great Empire. Their families are also executed shortly after seeing their fathers and husbands killed. Before the Army leaves the area, they ordered to "scorch the earth", and burn down and destroy everything in their path, including people who are shown a willingness to join the enemy. A final counterattack of 300,000 soldiers is planned, which are being gathered from all over the Empire, regardless of their nationality, being told that the Swedish and their allies will kill their young, and make their wives back-barrack sex slaves, and that Russia would never do that to their own people. Any ship of the Navy is ordered to pull back from the Baltics, as the enemy takes control of the region, and use it to try to get recruits from Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania and Poland, to form the Imperial Russian Militia (Императорский милиции)
 * Denmark: Declines Swedish offer, since Pidemont-Sardina is sharing technological knowledge with us.
 * Belgium: Finish research on primitive factories, begins constructing small factories in Brussels, and across Flanders. We send 15,000 troops to assist the Swedish. We begin research on railroads. We begin working on our army.
 * Uhhh... Piedmont-Sardinia and Denmark are now at peace and one of the circumstances was that the Danish stop fighting with the Swedes in Russia... sooo you may want to edit your actions this turn.
 * Mod: Not really. That's Belgium. The occupation has not ended yet.
 * France: We continue sending our troops to assure the Greek Independence and the taking of Constantinople by them, as to reform a once powerfull nation, to its former glory, the navy is upgraded and the military begin to being massively sented to the greek's kingdom to launch their attack into the Ottoman loyal regions.
 * Wasn't your navy devastated due to the plague?
 * Greece unfortunately declines the request to go to the Protestant Alliance (Mod Rule no breaking until 1825). Greece also pushes the Turks right out of the Peloponnese, and move the capital to Nafplion.
 * @ mod: I'm in the neutral alliance, so doesn't that mean I can pursue good diplomatic relations with both alliances? 
 * Sweden proposes that Greece should stay neutral (as it is an Orthodox state) but it can still seek diplomatic relations with any country it sees fit.
 * Bavaria Agrees that Greece should stay neutral while pursuing good relations with individual countries, especially seeing as it is still fighting a war of independence against the Ottomans. The king again asks for embassies to be constructed in our two countries.
 * Russian Diplomacy: Russia would open up diplomatic relations if Greece chooses to be Neutral, and would still offer to help arm the country.
 * Bavaria The army is almost completely reorganised, which will improve efficiency in the army's command system. The king calls for a peaceful solution to the war in the North, hopefully one which will be acceptable to all parties. The parliament begins drafting a law making school compulsory for eight years. A Bavarian delegate will attend the Protestant Alliance Convention.

1818.5
'''Mod event: The Protestants' meeting officially begins. The Netherlands offer Denmark some ships to give it a chance to take back the Southwest quarter of Iceland, upon the requirement that Denmark withdraw from the Papal - Piedmontese scientific research program and returns to Russia, otherwise it might be punished. Naplish ships arrived but then returned due to the negotiated peace. Plague spread to the Papal States. Prussia is angered after some Prussian diplomats die of plague in France, Switzerland, Austria and Piedmont - Sardinia.'''
 * Papal States: The Papal Center of Science is replaced to Castel Gandolfo and started there researches to try to find a cure to the plague. The Pope also was replaced from Rome to Castel Gandolfo, util the plague reports end. The advance in Crete is complete thanks to the fleet. Most of the navy in Crete were sent to help the conquering of Cyprus. The army reached Nicosia and conquered it with some dificulty. The Ottoman soldiers remain are surrunded by the army and navy. The army in Italy is sent to the forts and is locked there, trying to avoid the plague to kill many of the divisions, while in the cities, militias were summoned to act as a police force.
 * Piedmont-Sardinia: We send our army lands in Norwthern Tunisia and begin capturing Ottoman land, and the navy is sent to blockade and barrage Alexandria, a squadron sent to Corfu to capture the small island, the attempt is met by success. Subsidies are increased for those who move to Iceland, and a large cathederal is under construction near the Catholic-Protestant border. Piedmont-Sardinia builds a large road between Reykjavik and Emmanuelia and the population of Emmanuelia increases greatly due to the settlement policy and the town is being advertised as "the New York of Europe", and sends another 5,000 soldier and six cannons on Iceland, with most cannons on the shore in case of enemy landings. Ask for a embassy to Bavaria and one to Greece once Athens is captured.
 * Bavaria Accepts the offer, and sends an ambassador. The ambassadr points out that Corfu has been a British possession since they occupied it in 1814.
 * Also, just saying, but Piedmont seems to be...punching above its weight? I mean, invading Iceland, Tunisia, Corfu and sending 5000 extra soldiers to Iceland AND establishing a massive city in Iceland all at the same time would have been hard for Britain, let alone a second-rate (no offence) power like Piedmont! Callumthered (talk)
 * Yes. Note that the population decreased as plague struck the nation
 * Alright, I'll tone it down a bit.
 * Russian Empire: After the brutal last stand, the battle presumeably comes to a stalemate, between the Army and the enemy. The Tsar finally relents to requests that the Russians stand down, and finally come to the negotiation table for a 2-year ceasefire. The only reason why, is due to fear that the plague occuring in the west may threaten to wipe us out. Our offer is to give the northern lands around St. Petersburg already won to Sweden, but to keep the Baltic States and Eastern Poland.
 * Greece thanks the Papal States for aiding in the Independence War, and agrees and accepts Sweden, Russia and Bavaria's proposals. The Greek State pushes out along the Isthmus of Corinth and reaches the outskirts of Athens. Small islands such as Spetses and Aegina are also liberated.
 * Bavaria: The army is now completely organised along the new model, and it goes on manoeuvres all summer. The bill mandating eight years of schooling is passed by king Maximillian, and children previously working can now attend school and receive an education. The king asks the king of Wurrtemberg and the Grand Duke of Baden for a defence pact. The king offers his son, as king of Greece, 1,000,000 Bavarian gulden to assist with the liberation of Greece.

1819
The Netherlands make this plan to solve the Northern War: '''​Meanwhile, Prussia ends relations with Austria, France, Piedmont - Sardinia and Switzerland because of the incident mentioned at 1818.5. Plague continues to spread to Spain, Portugal, the Ottoman Empire and Naples - Sicily, and threatens to move into Greece and Russia.'''
 * 1) ​Sweden returns Latvia, Lithuania and East Poland to Russia, but is allowed to keep Karelia, Ingria, Vepsia, Estonia and St. Petersburg
 * 2) Russia take back Latvia, Lithuania and East Poland, but MUST support Protestants in the pressure for Piedmont - Sardinia to return the southwestern quarter of Iceland
 * 3) Denmark receives West Poland
 * 4) All the four nations of Denmark, Netherlands, Russia and Sweden has free access for their citizens to the Baltic Sea
 * 5) Denmark, Netherlands and Sweden have full navy access to the Baltic Sea

When is this plague going to end? It's been like '3 years Daxus Inferno (talk) 16:07, December 29, 2012 (UTC)Daxus Inferno'''

'''Usually last for 4 - 5 years at one place, depends on how you counteract it. Laptop_Zombie 00:29, December 30, 2012 (UTC)'''
 * Russian Diplomacy: Our terms on the 5 agreements.
 * Fine.
 * We will convince Piemont-Sardinia to return that corner of Iceland, but it will not be a pro-Protestant action.
 * Alright, but the line between West Poland (Danish) and East Poland (Russia) must be in Łódź, the geographical centre of Poland.
 * Alright.
 * Fine, but the Imperial Russian Navy must be allowed to use it's Latvian, Lithuanian and Polish ports.
 * Those are the terms the Tsar will agree to.
 * Netherlands says that's fine on all. The Latvian, Lithuanian and Polish ports will be for all.
 * Denmark:  Sends a fleet of 30 ships, 250,000 infantry men, 40 cannons, 40 mortars on boats and start an invasion of Sweden. Having a lage calvary, they send 200,000 calvary men over to Sweden also. Gets throug  South Sweden at reasonable time considering they are weak from fighting Russia, and have most of their troops their anyway. They soon capture half of Gothenberg, and asks Pidemont-Sardina and Papal States for help.
 * Denmark states thet if the Netherlands helps they will get South Finland, Pidemont-Sardina will get Central Finland, Papal will get Northern Finland, and Russia would get its area back from Sweden AND Northern Norway.
 * Alliances cannot break until 1825. There is absolutely no reason to invade Sweden - you're a Protestant nation and you have always had good relations with the Swedes. And you're even asking Catholic states to assist you? Outrageous. And we've already agreed to the Netherlands' plan for stopping the war. Why don't you protect Iceland from Catholic invasion instead of attacking allies?
 * Actually Laptop-Zombie said he didnt agree with it but it is allowed, since you and Netherlands tried to punish me for trying to modernize.
 * Sweden has no intention of halting modernisation of your country. We were only worried that Piedmontese merchants would start to target Denmark as well, that is why we asked all Protestant nations to halt trade with Piedmont-Sardinia. That is no reason to invade your allies. Besides, your troops should be in Iceland defending from a Catholic threat. We've also noted your silence at Protestant conferences and are worried you may be under bribe or threat by a higher power, which we don't want to happen to our allies.
 * Mod: Vote on punishment on Denmark at Protestants' Alliance's page! The old baby, be careful or you're kicked!
 * From the game or the alliance?
 * From the alliance when other alliance members voted to get you off. Then I may kick you off from the game, 'cause I'm the mod. Laptop_Zombie 00:30, December 30, 2012 (UTC)
 * Piedmont-Sardinia: Offers Papal State a military base in Piedmonteese Iceland and sends some financial aid to Russia to help with the recent losses in the war, as well as offers Russia a military outpost in Corsica for a outpost in Crimea. Our soldiers secure Tunisia but attrition is high inland, and the army splits 75,000 going east to secure Ottoman Algiers ande 100,000 going west to seize Tripoli. The ships bombarding Alexandria head west to begin bombardment of Tripoli, we offer Reykajavik to Denmark under the circumstances that the Protestants stop trying to reclaim southerwestern Iceland. Population of Emmanuelia increases again to 376
 * Belgium: Agrees with Sweden in ending the dangerous peace with Piedmont-Sardinia, and tells Denmark that if they keep doing selfish acts, the alliance will break up and the Catholics will gain the other hand. Belgium gives 50,000 troops as a gift to Sweden to use if things get ugly. We also ask Sweden to quit complaining about the Catholic religion, as we are predominantly Catholic, and we might leave if you keep it up.
 * Papal States: A final push is sent in Cyprus and the island is under full Papal power. The Pope suggested both Alliances to sign a Treaty to make peace in Europe once again. We agree in sending some of the men in Crete to Piedmonteese Iceland as long as it doesn't bother the Protestant Alliance. The Pope requested a recognition of Papal control in Crete and Cyprus to make peace with the Ottoman Empire. The Papal Center of Science keeps trying to find a cure to the plague. The Pope invited Russian scientists to join the researches to find a cure.
 * Sweden: A map of post-war Europe is proposed and other nations are encouraged to give feedback.
 * Greece attacks Athens and gains the entire city, along with other small outposts surrounding it. Greece starts negotiations with the Papal States to return ethnic Greek land (Cyprus and Crete) to the Greeks.
 * Papal States D: We agree in returning Crete as long as we keep Cyprus, since it has a stategic location to a future war to conquer the Holy Land
 * Russian Empire: The Tsar secretly says to his Royal Advisors, that he finds it amusing that the Protestant Alliance is already falling apart, and if Denmark falls, the Russians could make a quick grab for the western half of Poland. The Army goes through multiple reforms, with conscripting all unemployed, and better funding to train all recruits, along with making sure every soldier gets an Alexander rifle. The borders are closed between Austria and Russia, mainly due to the plague, though some say it's retaliation at the Austrians not sending backup for Russia.
 * Bavaria Throws its weight behind Greece's claims to Crete and Cyprus, and the king personally writes to the Pope asking him to hand them over to the Greeks. Imports from plague-ridden lands are banned until the plague dies down. The army is improved, as is the education system. The Bavarian envoy at the Protestant meeting urges the alliance to stop bickering and remember the common enemy.

1819.5
'''Mod event: The Netherlands send a fleet of 7 to join force with Sweden as well as 200,000 men to play its part in the Northerners/Protestants to re-occupy southwestern Iceland. As ships get through the Meditteranean, plague lands in Africa, although it ends in France, Austria, Switzerland and Spain.'''


 * Sweden begins to reorganise its armed forces after noticing organisational flaws during the northern wars. King Charles XIII suddenly dies and is replaced by King Charles XIV John, who appoints Oscar Bernadotte as Duke of Estonia in hopes he can provided the new province with a sense of Swedish nationalism due to its simililarities to Finland Province as well as abolishing serfdom in Estonia. Sweden requests that it can build an embassy in Athens and Munich.


 * Greece accepts both Sweden and the Papal States' offer. From Crete, Greece attacks neighbouring islands and invades Kos and Rhodes. Greece also captures the entire Attican Peninsula.


 * Piedmont-Sardinia: Soldiers succesfully capture Tripoli though losses are high, same goes for Algiers. Piedmont-Sardinia keep enough troops in Africa to occupy it and enough to defend Tripoli from Ottoman attempts to retake their land, and puts the men on ships (85,000 total, leaving 75,000 behind) and send these veterans with some recently recruited soldiers on ships, totalling 180,000 and 7 cannonsthey are sent to Iceland, fear a Protestant attack . Cannons already positioned on the caost of Iceland fire upon Dutch ships sinking two of them, killing any soldiers that were on them (57,140 soldiers). A Piedmonteese doctor named Giordanno Fenichi who has been taken care of plauge victims and developes a medecine to significantly aid plauge victims and he give the recipe to the government. Distrubution begins but the sheer amount of plauge victims is overwhelming and many will not be saved. King Victor asks the Pope to declare the man a Saint, and to aid the most recent war. Population of Emmanuelia increases to 450 and the navy size is increased.


 * Two things, firstly, no way could there be 57,140 Dutch soldiers on two ships. Secondly, people need to be dead and have two miracles attributed to them before they can become a saint.Callumthered (talk)
 * Your cannon can't shot from Iceland to Norway. Second, nobody declared war on you yet. Laptop_Zombie 09:13, December 31, 2012 (UTC)
 * 1. The Dutch ships are gong from Netherlands to Iceland and the cannons shot at the. 200,000/7 = 28571. 28571 x 2 = 57,142. And when did it say they were going to Norway? It said they were going to re-occupy south-western Iceland. 2. Sorry, I'm not familiar with Christian rituals. Daxus Inferno (talk) 16:18, December 31, 2012 (UTC)
 * The ships were not sailing to Iceland. They were coming to Norway to meet with Swedish ships before we set sail jointly. Pavillion (talk) 18:28, December 31, 2012 (UTC)
 * Oh,that makes sense, please do be more clear about this in the futureDaxus Inferno (talk) 18:49, December 31, 2012 (UTC)
 * Russian Empire: The Imperial Russian Army is reorganized, and recruits every single unemployed male,  and to increase funding by 50%, to make sure that every soldier holds a rifle, which will make the Alexander I rifle the most produced in the world by the time. The Imperial Russian Navy will also be put into a new rehual, where over 100 frigates will be built, with 60 of them in Baltic ports, to replaced those destroyed in the Northern War, while the remaining 40 are built in the Black Sea, for a future campaign against the Ottoman Empire. Seeing a chance to reclaim West Poland, the Tsar sends a messenger to Stockholm, where he offers to briefly join forces with the Swedish to crush the Danish for their backstabbing, where the offer is that Sweden gets Denmark, while Russia gets back West Poland. The Tsar expects for the Russians to have the largest army in the world by the time these reforms are finished.
 * Netherlands: We're more interested in getting back Iceland than crush Denmark. But we will consider that as soon as we remove the Piedmontese-Sardinian troops from the North.
 * Bavaria Sends a regiment to Denmark to assist them with the retaking of South West Iceland from Piedmont. The king is very pleased that the Pope has agreed to give Crete to Greece. The army is improved. Scientists and engineers are sent to join the Scientific Committee of the Stokholme Alliance. The fort of Marienburg in Wurzburg is improved.

1820
'''As the new decade begins, Netherlands deploy 200,000 more troops to Sweden to plan for the invasion, as well as asking Denmark to become more active in the upcoming operation. Meanwhile, in Portugal and the Papal States plague dies out.'''

I requested a meetting of the Quadruple Alliance (members are required to join or at least say if they will or not go to the meetting), so if there's no problem I will create a page: Quadruple Alliance (Congress of Viena Map Game) 
 * Papal States: The Papal Center of Science and the Pope return to Rome, while the Papal Army and Navy return from Crete and there the Greek flag is raised. Priests are sent to Cyprus, while in Rome the Pope thanks the end of the plague. A Disease Division is created in the Papal Center of Science to try to prevent any new plagues and mesures to avoid it. Mercenary recruitment keeps growing in Naples-Sicily, while the north frontier is open again. The Pope calls the Quadruple Alliance to the recent plague-free Rome to discuss the Northern War and the Naples attempt to attack an ally. He also stated that the church can't simply canonize someone because a King asked. The army managed to keeps major part alive, recruitment started again to replace the dead soldiers. The Papal Center of Science restart researches to modernize the country and Piedmont-Sardinia.
 * United Kingdom: (sorry about inactivity, was with the folks for christmas), Due to conflict on the continent the Royal Navy is expanded with battleships now escorting convoys of trade ships to "discourage" priviteers. A diplomatic message is sent to france requesting a mutually benefictial alliance to secure the English channel and to combine forces if we have to join the war.
 * Greece continues to expand along the Gulf of Corinth, and also expands from Rhodes into Kastellorizo and Kos. Small advances are made into Zakynthos/Zante.
 * Piedmont-Sardinia: Sends delegate to Rome for the conferance. Piedmont-Sardinia increases the size of its navy once more and offers the Ottomans a peace treaty demanding Tripoli and everything west of it. Primitive factories are built and the first attempt at steel is made, the metal is brittle and not very effective but Piedmonteese metallurgists believe they are on to something so further attempts continue. The population of Emmanuelia increases to 550 due to people trying to flee the plauge, and a strange mix of Icelandic-Italian culture appears in Piedmonteese Iceland.
 * Plague is already in Africa since 1820. It'll die out soon in Europe, though. And a settlement with only several hundreds of people could NEVER be considered a city, nor does becoming a reliable military base.Laptop_Zombie 03:57, January 1, 2013 (UTC)
 * I never said it was a city, nor did I say it was a military base, settlers could have fled earlier and move slowly, there could be some spots where the plauge holds out, or the settlers could be from Africa. I don't see your point.
 * Bavaria Accepts the Swedish request of last year, allowing them to build an embassy in Munich, and reciprocating with a Bavarian embassy in Stokholme. The army is improved, and military scientists begin work on an air rifle, which will save money on gunpowder. The army goes on joint manoeuvres with the armies of Wurrtemberg and of Baden. Britain is asked for embassies. The parliament begins planning for a large river port on the Rhine in the Palatinate region (the blobby exclave). The foreign minister calls for the Stokholme alliance to agree on a plan of attack to retake South West Iceland from Piedmont.
 * I'm no politician but isn't it not allowed for someone to declare war on someone else like a year  afterward over the peace agreement of the first war?
 * Well, no, there is nothing stopping a second war except the terms of the peace treaty. For example, the Napoleonic Wars were a series of five wars one after the other, almost always with the exact same combatants. Callumthered (talk)
 * Alright then... crap.
 * Not that I'm implying that Bavaria wants five consecutive wars!
 * United Kingdom D: An embassy is granted.
 * France: Continues its war against the Ottomans to aid the Greeks to taking the Greek land and recover its glory, Istanbul siege begins as the army's troops reach Thrace and the navy begin blockading it.
 * Sweden's research into railroads has paid off, with Jens Börje patenting the use of wrought iron rails in railway construction. The town of Rakvere hosts the Royal Swedish Stakes, a flat horse race open to three-year-old thoroughbred fillies, but this is the first time the monarch has not presided over the events. King Charles XIV John is instead at Bergen, talking over the battle plans for Iceland with top generals. The Prince opens the Bavarian embassy in Stockholm and adorns the King of Bavaria the title of Commander Grand Cross of the Royal Swedish Order of the Sword for his actions as monarch.
 * Bavaria The king is gratified by the gesture, and reciprocates by making the King of Sweden a member of the Order of Saint Hubert, Bavaria's highest order.

1820.5
'''Netherlands is considering an emergency conference in The Hague. It also send some scientists debuting for the Netherlands in the joint Northern Scientific Research Program. Here is a proposal sent to Sweden, Bavaria, Belgium and Luxembourg:''' '''​Austria, Spain and Portugal arrives in Rome. Naples - Sicily refuse to send their delegates to Rome. The Ottoman Empire is struck with revolutions in Constantinople.'''
 * 1) Dutch and Swedish navy will sail to Iceland first
 * 2) Then Belgian and Bavarian army will be sent (and Danish army if they agree)
 * 3) After that the Swedish army should arrive in Iceland
 * 4) After occupying that corner we will make it shared territory and make a Headquarter there.
 * Papal States: The Pope request a response from France, UK, Russia and Prussia if they will come to the meeting of the Aliance. Preperatives have been made to welcome Portugal, Spain, Austria and Piedmont delegates. The Papal Center of Science keep modernizing the country, while the Disease Division make progress in plague-fighting processes. The men from Crete return to Rome, while the Papal-Naples border is a little reinforced. In Cyprus the army keeps training, while also there mercenaries are being recruited. A embassy is requested in Athens, Munich, Turin, Paris and London.
 * Bavaria, whose capital is Munich, is a part of the Protestants. They certainly don't want to have you in Munich.
 * I have three points: First they're Catholics and I represent the church itself, Second I never had bad relations with Bavaria, and last they opened a embassy with the UK, which is in the catholic aliance, why deny my embassy?
 * in the UKs defense, at this time it was an intensely anti catholic country which only had diplomatic ties to the continent due to trade rivalry with the dutch.
 * UK D: we accept the embassy and will send a delegate to Rome but would like to remain neutral of any conflict on the continent.
 * Sweden: Generals of the Royal Swedish Navy agree to Dutch proposals of making southwest Iceland a shared territory, and also proposes the name "Northern Alliance" to replace the name "Protestant Alliance" to make our cooperation stronger without a religious banner to divide us. Half of the Swedish Navy's Baltic Fleet arrives in Bergen and spies are secretly sent to Piedmontese-controlled Iceland disguised as civil servants and doctors. Meanwhile, Swedish delegates in Constantinople are hurriedly arranged to travel back to Stockholm amidst revolutions in the Ottoman Empire.
 * UK: The Navy continues to be expanded with newer larger ships of the line. Industrialisation of towns and cities cause large numbers of people to leave the countryside to live in the cities. The Regent delegates more power to the Prime Minister so he can concentrate on his gambling. An Anti Catholic riot is quelled in the London dockside. Repeal of the corn law is debated in the house of commons but is not put to the vote. Faster reloding rifles are developed to be issued to all regiments in the army. Secretly a message is sent to Sweden inquiring about the possiblity of an alliance to control the north sea and joint neutrality to insure trade is not disrupted.
 * Sweden does not want power or control, but peace and stability. We reject your offer initially but if you would like to discuss further we can.
 * Piedmont-Sarinia: The navy continues to expand, and military duty becomes mandatory for at least three years that can b chosen between ages 16-25, due to the militarization of the government, critics continue to refer to Piedmont-Sardinia as "The Military with a Government." The recipe for steel is redone and th metallurgists are rewarded as a stronger metal, but still weak and brittle that has barely the strength of iron. Another 3,000 soldiers are sent to Iceland an fort construction begins. Piedmont-Sardinia pressured its allies into aiding it for the coming war that everyone can predict. The population of Emannuelia increased to 615, the UK is asked for military access.
 * UK Diplomacy: Due to the present wish to remain neutral in the event of conflict, military access is denied. however we are willing to re-evaluate this opinion if the possibility of a naval base in iceland is on offer.
 * P.S. D: We will grant a military base in Iceland if you aid in the upcoming war.
 * Greece continues to expand along the northern coast of the Gulf of Corinth, and also takes Zakynthos. Small movements are made into Evia/Euboea and other small islands near Rhodes and Kos are taken.
 * Russian Empire: Tsar Constantine I sees the Ottoman Revolutions, as a good chance to take new territory, including portions of Ukranian and Romanian territory, including the coastal city of Odessa, which appears to be the gateway into the Ottoman Empire. With the largest army ever being built, the Tsar is ready to take on the next largest Empire.

1821
'''Plague dies out completely in Europe. Netherlands will wait for Sweden and Bavaria, among others, to act in the Northern War. An extremely cold winter arrives.'''
 * Bavaria The king accepts the Pope's offer do an embassy, seeing as Bavaria is a Catholic country, and it is right to have a representative of the Holy Father. Two regiments of infantry are sent to the Netherlands to help the Northern Alliance in the Northern War. Work begins on a Cana port along the Rine.
