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!

''' War keeps going. Hooray... '''


 * Indian Empire: Queen Farah Shah was proclaimed the Empress of India in 1888, starting a new era. The Indian population rose to about 341,772,000, and the flocking of the people to coastal cities continued, with a mass increase of population in Kolkata, Mahmudpur, Karachi, Mumbai, Surat and various other minor cities and townships throughout the state. The Indian army, equipped with semi-modern armaments stood at 720,000 troops with an additional 250,000 reserves whilst the Imperial Guard was composed of 20,000 troops and the armament industry thrived on local and national level, with armaments rarely imported from foreign nations. The Indian navy experimented on ironclads and had started production of larger classes of steam engine ships, churning out first rate ironclads for various fleets, and more third rates, and fourth rates with the occasional second rate to augment the smaller patrol fleets with 40% of the national navy harboured at the Andaman and Kolkata ports. In agriculture was the largest economic focus of Bengal, exporting various crops to foreign nations with the international jute and cotton textile production largely under Indian control. Along the same time, the Indian Renaissance were in full swing, with movements such as the Young India movement having aided in national modernisation and a massive rise in literacy and education. Moreover, promotion of industrialisation and capitalism allowed the Imperial authorities to construct a Trans-National Railway, connecting the entire Empire as well as introduction of many other commodities such as telephones, bulbs, electricity.India carries on offensive against Roman Venad, sending 2,500,000 troops. In other news, the Indian Empire builds the first tank. However, it more like an armoured automobile with a turret attached to it. It is estimated that a perfect tank would be built by 1913. [Mil/Eco Turn]
 * Khedivate of Bahamani: The Capital of Bahamani was Hyderabad and the population was 68.2 million. The Bahamani military was modernised, standing at roughly 80,000 and a major port and naval base was constructed at Mahmudpur, with 25% of the national navy harboured at Bahamani ports. In the economic sector, rice played the role as a major food crop to be exported. However, other important crops such as cotton, sugar cane, mango and tobacco maintained a major presence in Bahamanis exports as well. About the same time, the Bahamani textile and fishery industries reached new heights. We fight the enemies.
 * Khedivate of Punjab: The Capital of Punjab was Lahore and the population was 48.8 million. The Punjabi military was modernised, standing at roughly 160,000. In the economic sector, wheat played the role as a major food crop to be exported. However, other important crops such as rice, cotton, cotton and ruits maintained a major presence in Punjabs exports as well. About the same time, the Punjabi rock-salt, sugar and leather industries were of significant importance as well. We fight the enemies.
 * Khedivate of Vijaynagar: The Capital of Vijaynagar was Coimbatore and the population was 38.4 million. The Vijaynagari military was modernised, standing at roughly 120,000 with 15% of the national navy harboured at Vijaynagari ports. In the economic sector, rice played the role as a major food crop to be exported. However, other important crops such as tea, sugar cane, mango and tobacco maintained a major presence in Vijaynagars exports as well. About the same time, the Vijaynagari fishery and leather industries were of significant importance as well. We fight the enemies.
 * Indian Overseas Territories: Aceh, Mauritius, Tromelin and Reunion.
 * Korea: Korea continues to build up its military. Meanwhile, more Taoist and Buddhist temples are built. Taoism rises in popularity and gains more followers. Regular (read: not Imperial) Shinto gains a few more followers as well, mainly along the coastline in Southeastern Korea, particularly in Busan, Jejudo, Ulsan, and the coastal cities and coastal towns of Southern Gyeongsang Province. Mahayana Tao-Shintoism also continues to grow, and begins gaining followers from the areas where Shinto is growing, with some Shintoists switching to Mahayana Tao-Shintoism. The military in the colony of Haejagang (해자강) continues to be on high alert and continues to heavily patrol the Korean settlements. Meanwhile, industrialisation and modernisation continues in Korea (similar to OTL Japan's Meiji Restoration). Monarch Hyomyeong continues investing in technology and science.


 * Romania: In Moldavia and Dobruja, we begin agricultural industrialisation. We build more factories in our nation. More collectivisation occurs. Tractors begin to be used in farms. We export many agricultural goods to our Communist allies. We defeated several Roman attacks on the Ardelean line and continue mobilization. Woman are sent to the work force.
 * Borealia_Flag_2.pngUnion of Borealia: Both the economy and military improve across all the provinces of the Union. The thriving industries now run entirely on petroleum, procured from the oil collected from Alaska and California. While the traditional hearts of each city, particularly New Vienna, continue to reflect the same idyllic Baroque style, newer expansions to these urban centers are packed with factories and other industrial equipment. Cities recently built in southern California and northern Alaska are much more developed, as some parts of the Kiatagmiut province are almost unrecognizable. The economy of the Union stems from the exportation of natural resources. San Francisco and Mamterlliq continue to be the main centers of the gold trade, while oil wells begin to speckle the coastal range of California. More oil wells are built in Upper Alaska, bringing entrepreneurs to that region. Large monopolies on lumber and animal products are also prevalent in Santiago and Pannenstiel. All of these businesses are connected with diesel trains that span the continent. As the various earlier philosophies continue to grow and factionalize, these turn into competing ideas that promote further progression and ingenuity from the younger generation. Electrical power continues to spread, although one scientist claims to have created better light by conducting gas. A theory of quanta is developed to explain phenomenon as smaller levels, and more theories follow to develop machines at this level. Tanks continue to be developed. X-rays are being used to interpret internal injuries. Airplanes begin to be built off of the Remen design in Pannenstiel. We continue to uphold the New Munich Declaration along with Algonquia, Reme, Mexaca, and Arcadia. An organization for promoting peace in the Pacific is established, whose members currently include Korea, China and Ayutthaya.  As more industrial goods continue to pour in from Reme, Borealian entrepreneurs begin selling more oil, gold, lumber, and livestock to the East Coast. Industrial goods are sent to Brazil and China to improve their respective economies. Support continues to be given to the Republican rebels in China. In sympathy for the oppression of Communism in Europe, a small Communist party emerges this year in New Vienna. These people are viewed suspiciously, however, as Communism usually has no place in Borealian culture. Seeing the remarkable bravery of Kabulistan stand up against the Indian Empire, many people in Borealia begin showing sympathy of their cause, particularly by selling merchandise with Kabulistan's motto on them. This "Bullistani movement", however, only lasts a few months. 
 * The State of Australia: The state greatly increases this year by beginning joint control over the colony of New Mecklenburg, provided by Germany on the provision of ceding the whole colony by 1929. The capital of the state is centered at Dandiri (OTL Brisbane), which administers over all land settlements and the Luwrit Sea (OTL Tasman Sea). Schools and media centers are established that teach Borealianist philosophy along with essential education. Supplies and engineers are continually sent to the Timor Sultanate to improve their industry. Settlements begin to grow around the Lake Eyre region.
 *  German Dip:   No. We are not ceding eastern New Mecklenburg. The deal was eastern New Mecklenburg was to be a joint-control region, before we let you annex it in 30 years. Now, you are ceding the eastern chunk of New Mecklenburg, which is completely contrary to our deal. If you keep going on this track of betraying diplomatic agreements, we will be forced to once more sever relations with Borealia and resume proscribing your country as a state enemy. Retconned, my mistake. -Nathan
 * The Commonwealth of Oceana: Naval bases continue being built to enforce claims on several islands (from OTL Palau to Fiji). A major naval base is constructed on the Island of Midway in the Republic of Hawaii. Another major naval base is constructed in Fiji to complement the base on Midway. Exploration of West Antarctica continues. The navy also claims several islands near New Zealand (OTL Auckland, Chatham, and Macquarie Islands).
 * Colony of Kinshasa: With the incorporated French colony, continues to expand its lumber and mining companies with cheap labor picked up from surrounding natives. An organized government forms along with some small villages. The border expands inward.
 * Morocco: The Sultanate of Morocco continues to improve its economy, infrastructure and build up its military, mainly the army and navy. Morocco continues to westernize the nation and the population continues to grow by adding 500,000 people every year. The population of Morocco now stands at 15 million people, while the number of military troops stands at 750,000 soldiers. Number of ships active in Moroccan Navy stands at 40 ironclad ships, 14 frigates, 14 cruisers and 18 destroyers. Continue mass building of early fighters and bombers on military airports, which later added into Moroccan Air Force. The nation expends south by 16,000 sq km (undoing Moroccan colonial wars in last 10 years, i know what sq km mean, Spain expends its colonies by 16,000 sq km every year.), with a few new cities being built. Morocco continues mobilization. Roads and railroads are built between old and new cities. Fewer museums, colleges and more houses, schools, hospitals, power plants and mining plants are built. The mining plants produces materials coal, iron and now gold and copper, which later used as products from industries. Industry continues improving and few factories are built along in cities, creating jobs for people of Morocco. The telephone/communications and mosaics industries continue to grow under a few large monopolies. With parts of the country hooked up to electricity, few middle class citizens and rich citizens have light in their homes. The telegraph is popular with the rich and business people. The telephone is popular with the rich people of society. A few docks and mosques are built. In political news, the previous king Abdelaziz is deposed and Abdelhafid succeeds to throne as the new king of Morocco. The Moroccan Navy continues building a series of armored destroyers, cruisers and cargo ships which destroyers later added to Moroccan Navy and cargo ships are for trade and for future tensions. Trade with various major European powers decides economic boom of Morocco and Morocco's largest exports are mosaics and largest imports are mostly food. Artillery becomes more widely used in combat and more industries continues building a series of wartime artillery, which later added it to Moroccan Armed Forces. Meanwhile, few new trains are produced and one new railway line is opened in service. Sultan Abdelaziz continues to plan new reforms for Morocco and continues investing heavily in technology and science. (Ignore German flag burnings, Banishment of all German books and cut off relations with Germany in 1908) Morocco continues building a series a military camps for soldiers living at Moroccan-German border and Moroccan-Spanish border.
 * Commonwealth Duchy of Oldenburg: The war continues on, with casualties always increasing. The population remains hopeful, however, and happy in the knowledge that the war is a just one. The military focuses heavily on developing dirigible technology, with tests of hydrogen-filled prototypes taking place over the Jade Bite. It's hoped that the airships could be used to drop bombs on unsuspecting enemies below. The entire army has been kitted out in the new Feldgrau service uniform, replacing the characteristic yellow coat. Frontline deaths from sniper fire mysteriously drop.
 * Commonwealth Lordship of Neu Norderney: Lord Conrad VIII thanks Algonquia for its reassurances. Neu Norderners continue fighting in the war, with a second Expeditionary Force leaving for the front. Meanwhile, the First Nation peoples take the war as an opportunity to ask for more speed in processing their claims to traditional lands. Whilst the war is taking a toll on the size of the still-new beurocracy, the Premier gives his assurances that all will be done to ensure land rights claims are processed as quickly as humanly possible.
 * Nederlanden- The ardennes front makes minor gains. Fokker sets up a company in the Netherlands. He is contracted to build Recon planes. Later, he accidentally invents the synchronized MG. When presented to the high command, they immediately order it. With the eendekker, the Nederlandse Koninklijke Luchtmacht (Dutch royal air force) rules the skies.eco and mil turn
 * Belgium- wars. eco and mil
 * Luxembourg-wars.eco and mil
 * Andea: Rapidly develops its industry. Industrial work becomes the most common field to work in. Average wage for industrial workers stands at 1000 reals, but the government set minimum wage stands at 400 reals. Yellow-Dog Contracts are offically outlawed this year in Andea. The Military expands to include 650,000 men. With the outbreak of war overseas, the draft is enacted and funding is poured into military. The Grant-Ramon 2 rifle is adopted (ATL Springfield Rifle). The navy expands dramaticlly, with the inclusion of Dreadnaughts and Armored Crusiers making Ironclads irrelevent. The Republican Party wins the Presidency, beating out the Nationals, Democrats, Hesperian, and the Progressives. This year sees the creation of the first movie theater in Andea, as well as the rise of  We ask to purchase the gains made by Brazil in Namibia.
 * Protectorate of Cape Ferdinand: rapidly develops shipyards and docks to increase the economic influence of the nation. Population stands at 165,000, and a garrison of 50,000 men remains active.
 * Protectorate of Sudafrica: The nation continues to centralize. Population stands at 5 million. A garrison of 110,000 remains active.


 * Algonquia continues to produce submarines for the navy, with the battleship program abandoned. This creates a surplus of naval funding, which speeds advancement in the areas of focus. The development of combined diesel-electric engines gives submarines greater range and safety and enables them to operate virtually silently. Torpedo technology also continues to improve, with radio-guiding technology vastly increasing their effectiveness. The naval high command decides to produce a new class of submarine, dubbed the U-20, to incorporate these innovations. A couple of airships are also built this year for the navy, which plans to use them in conjunction with its new submarines as spotters. Torpedo boat and destroyer production also increases.
 * Sahtudene and Kitlineq continue to expand. Icebreakers are based at Tukotaktuk to keep the Northwest Passage open later.
 * The Zollern Insels duly hold a referendum, as promised last year. The vote is narrowly against independence (the choice of 35% of voters), with most voters (45%) choosing increased autonomy. In recognition of this choice, the Zollern Insels are made a republic, which would send representatives to the Council of Sachems but separately elect its own local administration. Elections will be held next year.
 * Brazil: War continues in Namibia, with the colonial governments of Porto Natal and São Tomé and Príncipe officially declaring war and mobilizing for combat. With Namibia completely blockaded by our fleet, Namibia is unable to reinforce or supply itself, and soon falls without heavy fighting. The Treaty of Porto Natal is signed officially ending the war, officially annexing the region into the Empire of Brazil. Settlement of Brazil’s new African territories is encouraged, especially in Porto Natal, Porto Centauro (Richard’s Bay), named for military leader Manuel Marques de Sousa, Barreto (Pietermaritzburg), named for José Luís Mena Barreto, Vila João (Johannesburg), named for King João of Guiana, and Vinicia (Pretoria). The territory north of Porto Natal is organized into a second colony, named Solumbuso, with Emepror Pedro’s third son Prince Afonso appointed as its first governor. Solumbuso attracts thousands of Spanish and Dutch inhabitants of the region, known as Estancieros, who are attracted by promises of riches and work under Brazilian rule. With the threat of the Zulu eliminated diamond and gold industries can be fully exploited, and a mass immigration occurs to the region from other portions of South Africa, Hesperia, and Europe. After the popularity of the Fortaleza-class battleship (dreadnought) in warfare, the nation’s military begins researching and designing an even larger battleship, dubbed the super-fortalezas. The first battleship of this type, the Caçador-class, began construction in 1907 with the world seemingly in the eve of a world war. The Caçador features a 13.5-inch gun, as opposed to the twelve-inch guns, with its high velocity fifty calibre, had been ineffective in combat. Bore erosion had plagued these guns, causing them to lose their accuracy and effectiveness, and a lower velocity weapon is created to combat this problem. The newer 13.5-inch gun would be 45 calibres long, and shoot a much heavier projectile, of about 1,250 to 1,400 pounds. To compensate for the lower velocity, the maximum elevation of the gun is increased from fifteen to twenty degrees. All-centreline armaments are also adopted, as opposed to a superfiring pair of turrets aft in an effort to save deck space. The armor belt is increased to twelve inches in order to match the general increase in gun calibre among potential adversaries. By this year the Caçador, Monarca, and Trovão are completed of this class. Governor Afonso of Solumbuso organizes a plan for further expansion in Africa, by ordering a military operation into Swaziland. After a few brief weeks of fighting Labotsibeni Mdluli agrees to become a Brazilian protectorate.
 * Regency Republic of Britannia:  With the coming civil war and forced abdication of the Dutch royal family by the Communists, the Parliament led by Oswold Chaddock and his Conservatives party, in fear of the same happening in Britannia, only with a Syndicalist uprising as opposed to a Communist one, draft and pass the Britannic Sedition Act of 1906. This newly created act makes it illegal to openly protest the government in such way that implies violent action. Using this new law, the military forces of Britannia go about arresting lower and more regional leaders of the Syndicalists, claiming that their intent to create a Syndicalist government would involve the possible violent removal of Parliament (As per the Syndicalist Pamphlet), and therefore counts as an implication of violent action. However, due to disgruntlment and protests from these arrests, Devon Goddard, the author of the Syndicalist Pamphlet, and leader of its movement in Britannia, is not arrest due to internal fears that it would spark a rebellion.


 * ​Britannic Desircit:  The colony begins its inland expasion again as supplies become more regulated as stability increases. With the increase of supplies and stability, industry begins to redevelop on the largest coastal cities, mainly focused on refining goods from other Britannic colonies.  
 * New Guerney:  Sugar and coffee plantations are still the most popular for this colony, and continue to be a source of revenue. Though it lacks much heavy industry, it more than makes up for it in excessive shipments of raw goods.
 * Britannic Afrika:  Army/Econ turn
 * Ruthenia: The Ruthenians continue their industrial development. Research on airship construction also continues.
 * Emeraldie: The land forces stand at 90,000 men, with 70,000 in reserve, modernisation of the armed forces occur. Vast industrial expansion occurs in the region following years of government encouragement and subsidies, the transnational railway is completed. We expand 800 px into the continent's interior. Work continues on construction of the Emerald Canal (current estimates show it will be completed by 1914) and vast expansion of oil production begins after the government provides subsidies to entrepreneurs. With the booming economy, the government begins investing heavily in education and infrastructure. In other new the first domestically produced cars are built, with companies taking advantage of the growing petrol supply. The government continues the rebuilding effort. The Emeraldian government offers support for any non-Communist nations in the upcoming war, these include reduced oil prices and a land lease policy. We expand our armaments factories to meet the land lease policy targets.
 * Emeraldie Pacific Territories: A legislative parliament is created to take care of local issues. The South Pacific station is expanded with new modern ships. The territory government is granted the ability to control a small armed force to maintain peace in the region and protect from native aggression, its current numbers are around 7000 men.


 * Peoples Republic of China: We advance into Qinghai further, our forces taking control of most of Golog. We continue to distribute propaganda throughout the PRC and Qinghai. We begin using our scouter planes to gather information from Qinghai, particularly battle plans. This generation, from 1900-1920, is called by many philosophers the War Generation, as a result of the Sino-Japanese War and the Great War, with many people born in this generation in Chinanationalist and jingoist. We boost our economy to deal with the ongoing war, which is damaging our economy.
 * Roman Empire: The Empire is now at a period of peace and prosperity after a long period of war and uncertainty. Roman trade routes stretch across most of the world in the pursuit of wealth and trade goods and Roman military might remains a powerful force in Europe and other parts of the world. The Roman central government does what it can to address all of the issues of the various archonates within the Empire and ensure that their needs are met even as they help instill strength in the central government. Railroads are constructed around the nation to help connect the Empire and its peoples and steamships are used for much the same purpose on water. To further strengthen its position in Africa, the Roman government begins to make official claims in the Saharan desert north of Egypt's southern border. However, some in the Empire scoff at this, suggesting that the Empire is wasting its time claiming barren land and should focus on more resourceful areas of Africa, Asia or Europe. As European interest in Africa begins to heat up, Roman officials begin exploring possible resources or benefits from extended interaction with Madagascar, and trade and diplomats are directed there to assess the situation. Trade also expands with Hawaii, which becomes an impressive conduit of trade for Roman merchants and businesses. As such, the Empire takes an interest in Hawaii, but rather than try to annex it, as it is too far from Roman authority to do so, Roman officials instead would like to see a strong and friendly Hawaii. Weapons and officers are sent to Hawaii to help train their soldiers and protect their independence. The Roman Empire responds to the increased activity of Communist insurgency in other nations in Europe by adopting a more aggressive stance. Troops are sent to Gothia and Ruthenia to protect against potential Communist aggression from the north, and the Roman Empire begins making overtures towards Croatia, Transylvania and Vlachia to prepare their defences. The Roman Empire also deploys more troops to Italy to present a clear vanguard against potential aggression from Communist France or Lombardy, which is seen as soon falling to Communists while the Roman Empire is forbidden by treaty to intervene. The Roman Empire is concerned with the fall of the Tartary to the Communist hordes, and is particularly concerned that the Caliphate has aligned itself towards the hordes. Fears of being surrounded soon start to build up in the Roman government, and as a result the Roman government does what it can to help shore up its defenses both physical and diplomatic. The Roman Empire expands trade, industry and military training to members of the Holy League, hoping to create and re-inforce a stable and strong military alliance in the Empire's sphere of influence. The Roman Empire is forced to take drastic measures in recent years, as the expansion of Communism is considered unacceptable. Roman officials draft and generally pass Plan East, which calls for strengthening the Roman Empire's allies in the Holy League so they can protect the Roman Empire's flank while the Roman Empire concentrates on a potential eastern front. Military officers and engineers travel to Armenia, Georgia, Assyria, and Transylvania to train and improve those countries in all matters martial and industrial. The same goes for the Caliphate, hoping that the Caliphate would provide the crucial link in the chain for eastern defense. To further update the Empire's strength, the Roman Empire militarizes, and the Senate mandates that the Roman military be at a total size of 850,000 in peacetime and that a million man army must be able to be mobilized within a few weeks. Threats of Communism in Lombardy are too large to be ignored, so Roman forces militarize in Italy and pledge that no former treaty will hold Roman forces back if Lombardy becomes a clear threat. Remnants of the Vlachian government flee to the Roman Empire or Transylvania and call for intervention in Vlachia. Roman and Vlachian forces move in, securing the southern part of the country and stopping at the Wallachian-Moldavian border, as per the compromise between the Communists and Monarchists. Support for the true Vlachian government rises, and the Roman Empire provides the southern government the resources it needs to get itself back on its feet. To help stabilize its northern border, train cars full of weapons and ammo are sent to Croatia, hopefully to bolster that front. The rebel Syrians are seen as an annoyance, and as such local forces are tasked with putting them down. Troops are stationed in Syria after the cancellation of the supposed alliance, and alliances with Georgia and Assyria are affirmed again. With war declared upon the Roman Empire, the Roman Empire declares war in return and requests that all of its allies join in the defense. The military and economy are put on total war footing and all needed efforts to help the war effort are taken.
 * Tatar Empire:  The fall of the Tartary is a huge surprise, and many officials fled to Roman lands. However, the Roman Empire was able to set up a puppet government claiming legitimacy from the remnants of the Tartary. The Tatar royal family is installed as the leaders of this puppet state, with much of the government based on that of the Roman Empire. The Roman Empire does what it can to industrialize and modernize the puppet state, which effectively only controls the Black Sea coast. Effort is put entirely into the army, as there is no power that can challenge the might of the Roman navy in the Black Sea. Demoralized remnants of the Tartar Army along with volunteers are trained by Roman officers to help get the state back on its feet.
 * Reme: Reme begins to build up its military and economy. Reme elects a new president and starts to build up its navy. Meanwhile, trade is improved on, with industrialization, mainly former Byzantine areas slowly being introduced to populous areas. Lumber, cash crops, and other goods become a major export of Reme, and starts getting Reme a jump-start into the European economy. There is also the creation of New navy ships, to help modernize the Reman navy. Coal mines are built, and starts churning out coal at a consistent rate. Coal mining plants are also started to be upgraded. Reme also starts very slowly changing its focus to industrial things, with a nation wide railroad being considered to be built. Industrialization of river areas continue, as well as the production of textiles to cheaper the price of Reman cotton. Meanwhile, a Socialist-based party starts to gain seats in parliament, with plans to make Reme a more self-sufficient state. People are getting anxious over the threat of Communism to Reme, and vote on the crackdown of Communist sympathizers and their families. The Reman government is pleased that Pearl River has voted to join the Empire, and promises that their rights and property will be maintained. The Reman military is improved a bit in an effort to hold up its part of the Fraternal Alliance. The Franqi brothers begin experimenting with the idea of heavier-than-air flight, but the task is daunting and will take some time to perfect a flying device. They manage to create a working model which flies for several seconds. However, it isn't impressive enough and they continue their work. Following the outbreak of war, the Reman Empire declares war on France and sends troops to help the Spanish in their front.
 * Protectorate of Wolof: Wolof begins to build up its military and economy. Reman food and supplies come in to help the formerly starving nation, as well as the Reman military to help sustain order. Some representation is given in the Reman Parliament, to give Wolof a minimal say in how Reme should be run. Meanwhile, plans to industrialize the coastal areas as well as plans for fortifications are presented, and are started to be worked on.
 * Imperial Japan: The Emperor looks out of his window into the shining pearly sea of Tokyo and addresses his people.  Foreign Minister Riyu signs the Treaty of Midway, ushering a new era of peace and prosperity in the Pacific and results in an economic boom thanks to an increase in trade in the Pacific. We also observe the various wars that the world is falling into, and we prepare for a massive war by investing our new found money into a massive military build up as well as improving our economy by improving our trade routes/  Our condolensces go out to the dead Caliph. As the new century dawns, so does the new Empire of Japan with the implementation of the treaty of Beijing Japan. When Emperor Raijingusan was born the empire was a collection of Japan proper and a couple of ports, but now Japan is a shining empire in the Pacific, and is now considered a superpower in terms of vast greatness in not only territory, but also infrastructure, art, science, engineering literature, and education. The Emperor’s dream for Japan is fufilled, and as a result of the new century and new Japanese Empire there is a surge of nationalism. On the topic of literature, the book on the First-Sino Japanese War is published as well as the book “On the History of Japanese War history” and “On the History of Imperial Japan” is published. Emperor Rajiangstan himself attended New Munich, and noted “This city is a spectacular city, with lights gleaming over the fresh lakes, twinkling in the twilight, with the telephone that connects two voices from a far, and the kaleidoscope that has me see a beautiful rainbow of colors, indeed New Munich is a beacon upon a hill, and I hope Japan adopts the Borelian model of modernization.” The Emperor also returns to Tokyo, signs the Treaty of the Hague and the Treaty of Beijing, only to die, ushering an era of peace. “I was born, destined for something great, and something great I became, for I have made Japan the pinnacle of hope and light, sharing the greatness of the rising sun, to all four corners of the world. I may die today, but the Empire of Japan shall be eternal.” There is a massive memorial service held in Emperor Rajiangstan’s honor, and his first son, Emperor Heiwa to Han'ei, succeeds him, and begins to adopt the Borealian model of industrialization, trying to make Tokyo like New Munich. Seeing the German Empire quickly hand over IndoChina, Japan declares war upon and invades Spain. The Empire of Japan offers an ultimatum to the German Empire, cede Indochina to us, offer us a 10 year NAP, and give us trading rights to the German Pacific colonies of Burnei and Australia. In a major speech in Kyoto, later repeated in Tokyo, the Emperor of Japan says " With Japanese dominance secured in the Pacific as a result of their deals with Germany and Spain we turn to our new enemy, the Communist Russians. The Communists threaten our very existance as a nation and we attack them to ensure Japanese dominance and political hegemony in the Pacific and Asia. We call upon 2 million able bodied young men to bring honor to your family, friends, nation, and empire and invade the Communist menance from Japanese Siberia."


 * Empire of Northern China: With the Signing of the Treaty of Beijing Manchuria and Northern China are merged, establishing the Empire of Northern China, with Emperor Wu, Emperor Rajiangstan’s second son, as Emperor. Major reforms are enacted and there is immediate construction to railroads, schools, hospitals, homes, factories, ports, and cities in order to rebuild Northern China after the war. Mining operations also continue. the Empire is also noted as one of the most diverse places in the Japanese Empire. We invest in developing the cities of Beijing and Tianjin. Emperor Waizu marries into the the Qing Dynasty, restoring the dynasty of the Manchu Empire of old.
 * Japanese Formosa: We invest in Formosa by implementing a massive railroad construction program as well as port construction to further the transportation of Formosa. We implement a program of both industry and agriculture in Formosa, with the industry being for Japan and the agriculture being for Formosa. We also make massive public education reform in Formosa. Industry also speeds up as a result of the wartime economy. Econ/mil turn. Industry is dedicated to the war.
 * Japanese Shanghai: We industrialize Shanghai and upgrade its port and infrastructure, including education. We have Shanghai specialize in shipbuilding and trading, making it a hub for trade in East Asia. We rapidly increase port building to make this city a hub for trade.
 * Northern Philippines: We welcome the former French Philippines into our empire and we begin expanding its infrastructure and industry by constructing railroads, bridges, schools, hospitals, ports, etc. We also expand our economy. Industry is dedicated to the war
 * Southern Philippines: We welcome the former Hamburgian Philippines into our empire and we begin expanding its infrastructure and industry by constructing railroads, bridges, schools, hospitals, ports, etc. We also expand our economy. Industry is dedicated to the war.
 * Japanese Siberia: We welcome the former Tartary territory into our empire and we begin an extensive program to rebuild the area after the war by expanding its infrastructure and industry by constructing railroads, bridges, schools, hospitals, ports, and factories. We also expan the economy of the area. Industry is dedicated to the war.
 * Jiangsu: Major rebuilding reforms are enacted and there is immediate construction to railroads, schools, hospitals, homes factories, ports, and cities in order to rebuild Northern China after the war. We also construct a major irrigation system of Jiangsu and farm crops such as rice and wheat and make industry based on textiles and food and develop Shanghai and Nanking as important major cities.
 * Guangdong: We begin developing the infrastructure of Guangdong by implementing major reform, and we build railroads, factories, schools, hospitals, homes, ports, and cities. In order to fuel this, we focus on developing the ports in the Pearl Delta River region making them a hub for trade in the Pacific. We open the Pearl River Delta to other nations in the Pacific and are willing to make a trade deal with them.

 * Commonwealth Kingdoms of Hamburg, Hanover, Westphalia, Rhineland, Prussia, Kuba, and the non-incorporated Kingdom of New Rugia: New Mecklenburg, Kameroon, and German West Africa expand by 750px each. Despite having only been launched in 1903, the SMS Fürchtennicht, the first all big-gun battleship in the world and who started a new era in naval ship design, is retired with three of its sister ships, in light of newer and larger designs. The name is transferred to a new SMS Fürchtennicht, armed with ten fifteen inch guns in five centerlined turrets (similar to the otl König class warship). Friedrich von Güstrow wins the German Chancellory election, calling for Germany's territorial gains from the war to be properly incorporated, via the creation of a "Commomwealth Duchy of Alsace" under the rule of a cadet branch of the Hamburg or Oldenburg royal families. He also proposes the incorporation of the Kingdom of New Rugia, the only member of the previous United German Kingdoms not to be incorporated into Germany upon unification.
 * Commonwealth States: We support the incorporation of Rugia. However, if Alsace is to be a Duchy, we'd prefer it to be under the rule of an independent, non-aligned royal family.


 * Indian Empire: Queen Farah Shah was proclaimed the Empress of India in 1888, starting a new era. The Indian population rose to about 341,772,000, and the flocking of the people to coastal cities continued, with a mass increase of population in Kolkata, Mahmudpur, Karachi, Mumbai, Surat and various other minor cities and townships throughout the state. The Indian army, equipped with semi-modern armaments stood at 720,000 troops with an additional 250,000 reserves whilst the Imperial Guard was composed of 20,000 troops and the armament industry thrived on local and national level, with armaments rarely imported from foreign nations. The Indian navy experimented on ironclads and had started production of larger classes of steam engine ships, churning out first rate ironclads for various fleets, and more third rates, and fourth rates with the occasional second rate to augment the smaller patrol fleets with 40% of the national navy harboured at the Andaman and Kolkata ports. In agriculture was the largest economic focus of Bengal, exporting various crops to foreign nations with the international jute and cotton textile production largely under Indian control. Along the same time, the Indian Renaissance were in full swing, with movements such as the Young India movement having aided in national modernisation and a massive rise in literacy and education. Moreover, promotion of industrialisation and capitalism allowed the Imperial authorities to construct a Trans-National Railway, connecting the entire Empire as well as introduction of many other commodities such as telephones, bulbs, electricity. India achieves a decisive victory in Venad, and prepares to launch a direct Invasion of the Roman Empire. In other news, the Indian Empire continues investing into constructing a proper tank, after the success of a prototype in 1910. [Mil/Eco Turn]
 * Khedivate of Bahamani: The Capital of Bahamani was Hyderabad and the population was 68.2 million. The Bahamani military was modernised, standing at roughly 80,000 and a major port and naval base was constructed at Mahmudpur, with 25% of the national navy harboured at Bahamani ports. In the economic sector, rice played the role as a major food crop to be exported. However, other important crops such as cotton, sugar cane, mango and tobacco maintained a major presence in Bahamanis exports as well. About the same time, the Bahamani textile and fishery industries reached new heights. Declares war upon Roman Empire.
 * Khedivate of Punjab: The Capital of Punjab was Lahore and the population was 48.8 million. The Punjabi military was modernised, standing at roughly 160,000. In the economic sector, wheat played the role as a major food crop to be exported. However, other important crops such as rice, cotton, cotton and ruits maintained a major presence in Punjabs exports as well. About the same time, the Punjabi rock-salt, sugar and leather industries were of significant importance as well. Declares war on Roman Empire
 * Khedivate of Vijaynagar: The Capital of Vijaynagar was Coimbatore and the population was 38.4 million. The Vijaynagari military was modernised, standing at roughly 120,000 with 15% of the national navy harboured at Vijaynagari ports. In the economic sector, rice played the role as a major food crop to be exported. However, other important crops such as tea, sugar cane, mango and tobacco maintained a major presence in Vijaynagars exports as well. About the same time, the Vijaynagari fishery and leather industries were of significant importance as well. Declares war on Roman Empire
 * Indian Overseas Territories: Aceh, Mauritius, Tromelin and Reunion.
 * Korea: Korea continues to build up its military. Meanwhile, more Taoist and Buddhist temples are built. Taoism rises in popularity and gains more followers. Regular (read: not Imperial) Shinto gains a few more followers as well, mainly along the coastline in Southeastern Korea, particularly in Busan, Jejudo, Ulsan, and the coastal cities and coastal towns of Southern Gyeongsang Province. Mahayana Tao-Shintoism also continues to grow, and begins gaining followers from the areas where Shinto is growing, with some Shintoists switching to Mahayana Tao-Shintoism. The military in the colony of Haejagang (해자강) continues to be on high alert and continues to heavily patrol the Korean settlements. Meanwhile, industrialisation and modernisation continues in Korea (similar to OTL Japan's Meiji Restoration). Monarch Hyomyeong continues investing in technology and science. The Hyundai Motor Company is founded by Kwon Ju-yung and begins creating the first Korean car.
 * Ruthenia: The Ruthenians continue their industrial development. Research on airship construction also continues
 * Borealia_Flag_2.pngUnion of Borealia: Both the economy and military improve across all the provinces of the Union. The thriving industries now run entirely on petroleum, procured from the oil collected from Alaska and California. While the traditional hearts of each city, particularly New Vienna, continue to reflect the same idyllic Baroque style, newer expansions to these urban centers are packed with factories and other industrial equipment. Cities recently built in southern California and northern Alaska are much more developed, as some parts of the Kiatagmiut province are almost unrecognizable. The economy of the Union stems from the exportation of natural resources. San Francisco and Mamterlliq continue to be the main centers of the gold trade, while oil wells begin to speckle the coastal range of California. More oil wells are built in Upper Alaska, bringing entrepreneurs to that region. Large monopolies on lumber and animal products are also prevalent in Santiago and Pannenstiel. All of these businesses are connected with diesel trains that span the continent. As the various earlier philosophies continue to grow and factionalize, these turn into competing ideas that promote further progression and ingenuity from the younger generation. Electrical power continues to spread, although one scientist claims to have created better light by conducting gas. A theory of quanta is developed to explain phenomenon as smaller levels, and more theories follow to develop machines at this level. Tanks continue to be developed. X-rays are being used to interpret internal injuries. Airplanes begin to be built off of the Remen design in Pannenstiel. We continue to uphold the New Munich Declaration along with Algonquia, Reme, Mexaca, and Arcadia. An organization for promoting peace in the Pacific is established, whose members currently include Korea, China and Ayutthaya.  As more industrial goods continue to pour in from Reme, Borealian entrepreneurs begin selling more oil, gold, lumber, and livestock to the East Coast. Industrial goods are sent to Brazil and China to improve their respective economies. Support continues to be given to the Republican rebels in China. In sympathy for the oppression of Communism in Europe, a small Communist party emerges this year in New Vienna. These people are viewed suspiciously, however, as Communism usually has no place in Borealian culture. The Curia decides to send some economic support to Rome in the hope of seeing them as an ally.
 * The State of Australia: The state greatly increases this year by beginning joint control over the colony of New Mecklenburg, provided by Germany on the provision of ceding the whole colony by 1929. The capital of the state is centered at Dandiri (OTL Brisbane), which administer over all land settlements and the Luwrit Sea (OTL Tasman Sea). Schools and media centers are established that teach Borealianist philosophy along with essential education. Supplies and engineers are continually sent to the Timor Sultanate to improve their industry. Settlements begin to grow around the Lake Eyre region. With respect to the German colonial government, we ask Croatia to purchase the part of the outback north of Lake Eyre.
 * The Commonwealth of Oceana: Naval bases continue being built to enforce claims on several islands (from OTL Palau to Fiji). A major naval base is constructed on the Island of Midway in the Republic of Hawaii. Another major naval base is constructed in Fiji to complement the base on Midway. Exploration of West Antarctica continues. The navy also claims several islands near New Zealand (OTL Auckland, Chatham, and Macquarie Islands).
 * Colony of Kinshasa: With the incorporated French colony, continues to expand its lumber and mining companies with cheap labor picked up from surrounding natives. An organized government forms along with some small villages. The border expands inward 750px.


 * Romania: In Moldavia and Dobruja, we begin agricultural industrialisation. We build more factories in our nation. More collectivisation occurs. Tractors begin to be used in farms. We export many agricultural goods to our Communist allies. With a minor victory, we capture some Vlachian territory and expand the Ardelean Line.
 * Nederlands-WARS GALORE. Eco and mil
 * Lux.-wars. Eco and mil
 * Belgium-wars. Eco and mil
 * Commonwealth Duchy of Oldenburg: The war continues. The military's experimentation with airships has gone incredibly well, to the extent that the navy commissions ten of the large airships for reconnaissance and bombing work. The airships will also be armed with heavy mounted machine guns, to guard against smaller flying craft, or to use when capturing enemy surface ships. A small naval detachment travels to Christiandorf on Svalbard. On leaving, a company of marines remains to guard the fledgling settlement.
 * Commonwealth Lordship of Neu Nordeney: True to its word, the government manages to process three native land claims by the end of the year, with all three gaining approval. The boost in confidence from the Dirst Nations people's leads to a jump in enlistment from those groups.
 * Morocco: The Sultanate of Morocco continues to improve its economy, infrastructure and build up its military, mainly the army and navy. Morocco continues to westernize the nation and the population continues to grow by adding 500,000 people every year. The population of Morocco now stands at 15.5 million people, while the number of military troops stands at 1,000,000 soldiers. Number of ships active in Moroccan Navy stands at 40 ironclad ships, 14 frigates, 14 cruisers and 18 destroyers. Continue mass building of early fighters and bombers on military airports, which later added into Moroccan Air Force. The nation expends south by 16,000 sq km, with a few new cities being built. Morocco stops mobilization, as the country declares neutrality in Great War. Roads and railroads are built between old and new cities. Fewer museums, colleges and more houses, schools, hospitals, power plants and mining plants are built. The mining plants produces materials coal, iron and now gold and copper, which later used as products from industries. Industry continues improving and few factories are built along in cities, creating jobs for people of Morocco. The telephone/communications and mosaics industries continue to grow under a few large monopolies. With parts of the country hooked up to electricity, few middle class citizens and rich citizens have light in their homes. The telegraph is popular with the rich and business people. The telephone is popular with the rich people of society. A few docks and mosques are built. The Moroccan Navy continues building a series of armored destroyers, cruisers and cargo ships which destroyers later added to Moroccan Navy and cargo ships are for trade and for future tensions. Trade with various major European powers decides economic boom of Morocco and Morocco's largest exports are mosaics and largest imports are mostly food. Artillery becomes more widely used in combat and more industries continues building a series of wartime artillery, which later added it to Moroccan Armed Forces. Meanwhile, few new trains are produced and one new railway line is opened in service. Sultan Abdelaziz continues to plan new reforms for Morocco and continues investing heavily in technology and science. Morocco continues building a few military camps for soldiers living at Moroccan-German border and Moroccan-Spanish border.
 * Andea: Rapidly develops its industry. Industrial work becomes the most common field to work in. Average wage for industrial workers stands at 1000 reals, but the government set minimum wage stands at 400 reals. Yellow-Dog Contracts are offically outlawed this year in Andea. The Military expands to include 650,000 men. With the outbreak of war overseas, the draft is enacted and funding is poured into military. The Grant-Ramon 2 rifle is adopted (ATL Springfield Rifle). The navy expands dramaticlly, with the inclusion of Dreadnaughts and Armored Crusiers making Ironclads irrelevent. The Republican Party wins the Presidency, beating out the Nationals, Democrats, Hesperian, and the Progressives. This year sees the creation of the first movie theater in Andea, as well as the rise of consumer culture. Tanks make their first show case in Andea this year. We send 80,000 men and supplies to our Roman Allies.
 * Protectorate of Cape Ferdinand: rapidly develops shipyards and docks to increase the economic influence of the nation. Population stands at 165,000, and a garrison of 50,000 men remains active.
 * Protectorate of Sudafrica: The nation continues to centralize. Population stands at five million. A garrison of 110,000 remains active.
 * Peoples Republic of China: Due to a sudden surge in troop morale for Qinghai, neither side is now easily winning, so the invasion of Qinghai descends into trench warfare. Golog has fallen to PRC forces along with Hainan and as part of our planned encirclement of the Qinghai capital an invasion of Huangnan begins. We begin writing up the terms of Qinghai surrender, hoping to soon force Qinghai to sign them. Research into tanks officially begins with the beginning of trench warfare. Meanwhile, we continue spying on Qinghai with spy planes.
 * Imperial Japanese Dip: We are infuriated with the PRC's attack on Qinghai, violating the sacred Treaty of Beijing by invading Qinghai, not only breaking the treaty, but the alliance, thus we are forced to aid Qinghai and declare war on the PRC. TO aid the Qinghai in their struggle against the PRC, we send 900,000 troops to aid them after our 2,000,000 million troops return home victoriously from Russia (in which we get 6% of its land).
 * Algonquia continues to produce submarines for the navy, with the battleship program abandoned. This creates a surplus of naval funding, which speeds advancement in the areas of focus. The development of combined diesel-electric engines gives submarines greater range and safety and enables them to operate virtually silently. Torpedo technology also continues to improve, with radio-guiding technology vastly increasing their effectiveness. The naval high command decides to produce a new class of submarine, dubbed the U-20, to incorporate these innovations. A couple of airships are also built this year for the navy, which plans to use them in conjunction with its new submarines as spotters. Torpedo boat and destroyer production also increases. Airships are also produced for civilian use. Numerous refugees arrive from Europe, particularly from France. Algonquia requests a trade deal with Portugal.
 * Sahtudene and Kitlineq continue to expand. Icebreakers are based at Tukotaktuk to keep the Northwest Passage open later.
 * The Zollern Insels elect Wilhelm von Hohenfall, a merchant, as the first Burgrav go the Zollern Insels. An airships passenger service is created to Algonquia, travelling twice each month.
 * Emeraldie: The land forces stand at 90,000 men, with 70,000 in reserve, modernisation of the armed forces occur. Vast industrial expansion occurs in the region following years of government encouragement and subsidies, the transnational railway is completed. We expand 800 px into the continent's interior. Work continues on construction of the Emerald Canal (current estimates show it will be completed by 1914) and vast expansion of oil production begins after the government provides subsidies to entrepreneurs. With the booming economy, the government begins investing heavily in education and infrastructure. In other new the first domestically produced cars are built, with companies taking advantage of the growing petrol supply. The government continues the rebuilding effort. The emeraldian government offers support for any non-Communist nations in the upcoming war, these include reduced oil prices and a land lease policy. We expand our armaments factories to meet the land lease policy targets.
 * Emeraldie Pacific Territories: A legislative parliament is created to take care of local issues. The South Pacific station is expanded with new modern ships. The territory government is granted the ability to control a small armed force to maintain peace in the region and protect from native aggression, its current numbers are around 7,000 men.
 * Roman Empire: The Empire is now at a period of peace and prosperity after a long period of war and uncertainty. Roman trade routes stretch across most of the world in the pursuit of wealth and trade goods and Roman military might remains a powerful force in Europe and other parts of the world. The Roman central government does what it can to address all of the issues of the various archonates within the Empire and ensure that their needs are met even as they help instill strength in the central government. Railroads are constructed around the nation to help connect the Empire and its peoples and steamships are used for much the same purpose on water. To further strengthen its position in Africa, the Roman government begins to make official claims in the Saharan desert north of Egypt's southern border. However, some in the Empire scoff at this, suggesting that the Empire is wasting its time claiming barren land and should focus on more resourceful areas of Africa, Asia or Europe. As European interest in Africa begins to heat up, Roman officials begin exploring possible resources or benefits from extended interaction with Madagascar, and trade and diplomats are directed there to assess the situation. Trade also expands with Hawaii, which becomes an impressive conduit of trade for Roman merchants and businesses. As such, the Empire takes an interest in Hawaii, but rather than try to annex it, as it is too far from Roman authority to do so, Roman officials instead would like to see a strong and friendly Hawaii. Weapons and officers are sent to Hawaii to help train their soldiers and protect their independence. The Roman Empire responds to the increased activity of Communist insurgency in other nations in Europe by adopting a more aggressive stance. Troops are sent to Gothia and Ruthenia to protect against potential Communist aggression from the north, and the Roman Empire begins making overtures towards Croatia, Transylvania and Vlachia to prepare their defences. The Roman Empire also deploys more troops to Italy to present a clear vanguard against potential aggression from Communist France or Lombardy, which is seen as soon falling to Communists while the Roman Empire is forbidden by treaty to intervene. The Roman Empire is concerned with the fall of the Tartary to the Communist hordes, and is particularly concerned that the Caliphate has aligned itself towards the hordes. Fears of being surrounded soon start to build up in the Roman government, and as a result the Roman government does what it can to help shore up its defenses both physical and diplomatic. The Roman Empire expands trade, industry and military training to members of the Holy League, hoping to create and re-inforce a stable and strong military alliance in the Empire's sphere of influence. The Roman Empire is forced to take drastic measures in recent years, as the expansion of Communism is considered unacceptable. Roman officials draft and generally pass Plan East, which calls for strengthening the Roman Empire's allies in the Holy League so they can protect the Roman Empire's flank while the Roman Empire concentrates on a potential eastern front. Military officers and engineers travel to Armenia, Georgia, Assyria, and Transylvania to train and improve those countries in all matters martial and industrial. The same goes for the Caliphate, hoping that the Caliphate would provide the crucial link in the chain for eastern defense. To further update the Empire's strength, the Roman Empire militarizes, and the Senate mandates that the Roman military be at a total size of 850,000 in peacetime and that a million man army must be able to be mobilized within a few weeks. Threats of Communism in Lombardy are too large to be ignored, so Roman forces militarize in Italy and pledge that no former treaty will hold Roman forces back if Lombardy becomes a clear threat. Remnants of the Vlachian government flee to the Roman Empire or Transylvania and call for intervention in Vlachia. Roman and Vlachian forces move in, securing the southern part of the country and stopping at the Wallachian-Moldavian border, as per the compromise between the Communists and Monarchists. Support for the true Vlachian government rises, and the Roman Empire provides the southern government the resources it needs to get itself back on its feet. To help stabilize its northern border, train cars full of weapons and ammo are sent to Croatia, hopefully to bolster that front. The rebel Syrians are seen as an annoyance, and as such local forces are tasked with putting them down. Troops are stationed in Syria after the cancellation of the supposed alliance, and alliances with Georgia and Assyria are affirmed again. With war declared upon the Roman Empire, the Roman Empire declares war in return and requests that all of its allies join in the defense. The military and economy are put on total war footing and all needed efforts to help the war effort are taken.
 * Tatar Empire:  The fall of the Tartary is a huge surprise, and many officials fled to Roman lands. However, the Roman Empire was able to set up a puppet government claiming legitimacy from the remnants of the Tartary. The Tatar royal family is installed as the leaders of this puppet state, with much of the government based on that of the Roman Empire. The Roman Empire does what it can to industrialize and modernize the puppet state, which effectively only controls the Black Sea coast. Effort is put entirely into the army, as there is no power that can challenge the might of the Roman navy in the Black Sea. Demoralized remnants of the Tartar Army along with volunteers are trained by Roman officers to help get the state back on its feet.
 * Reme: Reme begins to build up its military and economy. Reme elects a new president and starts to build up its navy. Meanwhile, trade is improved on, with industrialization, mainly former Byzantine areas slowly being introduced to populous areas. Lumber, cash crops, and other goods become a major export of Reme, and starts getting Reme a jump-start into the European economy. There is also the creation of New navy ships, to help modernize the Reman navy. Coal mines are built, and starts churning out coal at a consistent rate. Coal mining plants are also started to be upgraded. Reme also starts very slowly changing its focus to industrial things, with a nation wide railroad being considered to be built. Industrialization of river areas continue, as well as the production of textiles to cheaper the price of Reman cotton. Meanwhile, a Socialist-based party starts to gain seats in parliament, with plans to make Reme a more self-sufficient state. People are getting anxious over the threat of Communism to Reme, and vote on the crackdown of Communist sympathizers and their families. The Reman government is pleased that Pearl River has voted to join the Empire, and promises that their rights and property will be maintained. The Reman military is improved a bit in an effort to hold up its part of the Fraternal Alliance. The Franqi brothers begin experimenting with the idea of heavier-than-air flight, but the task is daunting and will take some time to perfect a flying device. They manage to create a working model which flies for several seconds. However, it isn't impressive enough and they continue their work. Following the outbreak of war, the Reman Empire declares war on France and sends troops to help the Spanish in their front.
 * Protectorate of Wolof: Wolof begins to build up its military and economy. Reman food and supplies come in to help the formerly starving nation, as well as the Reman military to help sustain order. Some representation is given in the Reman Parliament, to give Wolof a minimal say in how Reme should be run. Meanwhile, plans to industrialize the coastal areas as well as plans for fortifications are presented, and are started to be worked on.
 * Spain  continues to prosper as a center of the arts and learning. The construction of new buildings, roads and other infrastructure continues. Spanish merchants and emissaries continue to sail around the world to expand the reach of Spain in terms of wealth and diplomatic connections. Spain also becomes a place where artists and intellectual minds meet and do things. It is cool. Due to the burgeoning growth of the economy, new jobs created in the five major cities led to more people moving to the cities. The buildings rise higher and the trains run faster, especially in the major cities such as Zaragoza, Barcelona and Madrid. Cars and railways and all sorts of cool modern stuff. Spain continues to lay claim to Antarctica. The construction of ships and weaponry continues. Boats and guns and cars. Spain begins to mass troops along the border with France and increases patrols around the entire coast of Spain. Spain continues to commission destroyers and increases the number of battle ready battleships in the Royal Armada. More artillery stuff. Carlo Ferreira continues to develop aeroplanes and makes great advances. The Spanish government condemns the Communist nations. Spain continues to seek out dissenters in Communist France to weaken the French government's strength. Spain continues to advocate the expansion of the anti-Communist league. The Spanish colony of West Africa expands 8000 sq km north in the west and east, totaling 16,000 sq km. Croats in Dahomey retain their rights. Dahomey expands 8000 sq km into the interior of Africa.  The Spanish colony in southwest Africa expands 8000 sq km inland as well. In the French front, Spain deploys armored vehicles unlike anything ever seen before. They roll across France to limited success, as they still have many flaws. Cool name for tanks coming later. Also, Spain launches its first dreadnought. Armed planes fight in France sort of. Dogfights and the such. France falls and a Spanish diplomatic entourage goes to Stuttgart to present Spanish post-war terms. #NoMoreWikiaChanges

'''Imperial Japan: The Emperor looks out of his window into the shining pearly sea of Tokyo and addresses his people. Foreign Minister Kogan Riyu and the Emperor himself signs the Treaty of  '''Urajiosutoku, ending the Russo-Japanese War and ushering a new era of peace and prosperity with Russia and our men return home and are hailed as national heroes. However, there is a new threat on the horizon, the PRC, which has invaded Qinghai, and thus we are forced to declare war on the PRC per the Treaty of Beijing. After successfuly defending Qinghai, we invade the PRC with 2 million troops..Foreign Minister Riyu signs the Treaty of Midway, ushering a new era of peace and prosperity in the Pacific and results in an economic boom thanks to an increase in trade in the Pacific. We also observe the various wars that the world is falling into, and we prepare for a massive war by investing our new found money into a massive military build up as well as improving our economy by improving our trade routes/  Our condolensces go out to the dead Caliph. As the new century dawns, so does the new Empire of Japan with the implementation of the treaty of Beijing Japan. When Emperor Raijingusan was born the empire was a collection of Japan proper and a couple of ports, but now Japan is a shining empire in the Pacific, and is now considered a superpower in terms of vast greatness in not only territory, but also infrastructure, art, science, engineering literature, and education. The Emperor’s dream for Japan is fufilled, and as a result of the new century and new Japanese Empire there is a surge of nationalism. On the topic of literature, the book on the First-Sino Japanese War is published as well as the book “On the History of Japanese War history” and “On the History of Imperial Japan” is published. Emperor Rajiangstan himself attended New Munich, and noted “This city is a spectacular city, with lights gleaming over the fresh lakes, twinkling in the twilight, with the telephone that connects two voices from a far, and the kaleidoscope that has me see a beautiful rainbow of colors, indeed New Munich is a beacon upon a hill, and I hope Japan adopts the Borelian model of modernization.” The Emperor also returns to Tokyo, signs the Treaty of the Hague and the Treaty of Beijing, only to die, ushering an era of peace. “I was born, destined for something great, and something great I became, for I have made Japan the pinnacle of hope and light, sharing the greatness of the rising sun, to all four corners of the world. I may die today, but the Empire of Japan shall be eternal.” There is a massive memorial service held in Emperor Rajiangstan’s honor, and his first son, Emperor Heiwa to Han'ei, succeeds him, and begins to adopt the Borealian model of industrialization, trying to make Tokyo like New Munich. Seeing the German Empire quickly hand over IndoChina, Japan declares war upon and invades Spain. The Empire of Japan offers an ultimatum to the German Empire, cede Indochina to us, offer us a 10 year NAP, and give us trading rights to the German Pacific colonies of Burnei and Australia. In a major speech in Kyoto, later repeated in Tokyo, the Emperor of Japan says "With Japanese dominance secured in the Pacific as a result of their deals with Germany and Spain we turn to our new enemy, the Communist Russians. The Communists threaten our very existance as a nation and we attack them to ensure Japanese dominance and political hegemony in the Pacific and Asia. We call upon 2 million able bodied young men to bring honor to your family, friends, nation, and empire and invade the Communist menance from Japanese Siberia."
 * ​Algeria expands 5000 sq km south as part of the nationalistic campaign to become a great nation on the African continent. Military technology is brought in from Spain, as well as other things. Berbers are satisfied with their legal conditions now. Fabran government remains in power.
 * Singapore also begins to develop naval technology to protect its economic interests with the aid of Spain. Singapore also greatly benefits from the newly re-invigorated trade in the region. Singapore continues to accumulate wealth as a center of trade and all that nonsense.
 * Empire of Northern China: With the Signing of the Treaty of Beijing Manchuria and Northern China are merged, establishing the Empire of Northern China, with Emperor Wu, Emperor Rajiangstan’s second son, as Emperor. Major reforms are enacted and there is immediate construction to railroads, schools, hospitals, homes, factories, ports, and cities in order to rebuild Northern China after the war. Mining operations also continue. the Empire is also noted as one of the most diverse places in the Japanese Empire. We invest in developing the cities of Beijing and Tianjin. Emperor Waizu marries into the the Qing Dynasty, restoring the dynasty of the Manchu Empire of old.
 * Japanese Formosa: We invest in Formosa by implementing a massive railroad construction program as well as port construction to further the transportation of Formosa. We implement a program of both industry and agriculture in Formosa, with the industry being for Japan and the agriculture being for Formosa. We also make massive public education reform in Formosa. Industry also speeds up as a result of the wartime economy. Econ/mil turn. Industry is dedicated to the war.
 * Japanese Shanghai: We industrialize Shanghai and upgrade its port and infrastructure, including education. We have Shanghai specialize in shipbuilding and trading, making it a hub for trade in East Asia. We rapidly increase port building to make this city a hub for trade.
 * Northern Philippines: We welcome the former French Philippines into our empire and we begin expanding its infrastructure and industry by constructing railroads, bridges, schools, hospitals, ports, etc. We also expand our economy. Industry is dedicated to the war
 * Southern Philippines: We welcome the former Hamburgian Philippines into our empire and we begin expanding its infrastructure and industry by constructing railroads, bridges, schools, hospitals, ports, etc. We also expand our economy. Industry is dedicated to the war.
 * Japanese Siberia: We welcome the former Tartary territory into our empire and we begin an extensive program to rebuild the area after the war by expanding its infrastructure and industry by constructing railroads, bridges, schools, hospitals, ports, and factories. We also expan the economy of the area. Industry is dedicated to the war.
 * Jiangsu: Major rebuilding reforms are enacted and there is immediate construction to railroads, schools, hospitals, homes factories, ports, and cities in order to rebuild Northern China after the war. We also construct a major irrigation system of Jiangsu and farm crops such as rice and wheat and make industry based on textiles and food and develop Shanghai and Nanking as important major cities.
 * Guangdong: We begin developing the infrastructure of Guangdong by implementing major reform, and we build railroads, factories, schools, hospitals, homes, ports, and cities. In order to fuel this, we focus on developing the ports in the Pearl Delta River region making them a hub for trade in the Pacific. We open the Pearl River Delta to other nations in the Pacific and are willing to make a trade deal with them.
 * Brazil: Settlement of Brazil’s new African territories is encouraged, especially in Porto Natal, Porto Centauro (Richard’s Bay), named for military leader Manuel Marques de Sousa, Barreto (Pietermaritzburg), named for José Luís Mena Barreto, Vila João (Johannesburg), named for King João of Guiana, and Vinicia (Pretoria). The territory north of Porto Natal is organized into a second colony, named Solumbuso, with Emepror Pedro’s third son Prince Afonso appointed as its first governor. Solumbuso attracts thousands of Spanish and Dutch inhabitants of the region, known as Estancieros, who are attracted by promises of riches and work under Brazilian rule. With the threat of the Zulu eliminated diamond and gold industries can be fully exploited, and a mass immigration occurs to the region from other portions of South Africa, Hesperia, and Europe. After the popularity of the Fortaleza-class battleship (dreadnought) in warfare, the nation’s military begins researching and designing an even larger battleship, dubbed the super-fortalezas. The first battleship of this type, the Caçador-class, began construction in 1907 with the world seemingly in the eve of a world war. The Caçador features a 13.5-inch gun, as opposed to the twelve-inch guns, with its high velocity fifty calibre, had been ineffective in combat. Bore erosion had plagued these guns, causing them to lose their accuracy and effectiveness, and a lower velocity weapon is created to combat this problem. The newer 13.5-inch gun would be 45 calibres long, and shoot a much heavier projectile, of about 1,250 to 1,400 pounds. To compensate for the lower velocity, the maximum elevation of the gun is increased from fifteen to twenty degrees. All-centreline armaments are also adopted, as opposed to a superfiring pair of turrets aft in an effort to save deck space. The armor belt is increased to twelve inches in order to match the general increase in gun calibre among potential adversaries. By this year the Caçador, Monarca, and Trovão are completed of this class.

 * Commonwealth Kingdoms of Hamburg, Hanover, Westphalia, Prussia, Rhineland, Kuba, and New Rugia: New Mecklenburg, Kameroon, and German West Africa expand by 750px each. Chancellor von Güstrow, with Bavarian support, is able to pass the incorporation of New Rugia as the seventh Commonwealth Kingdom. Emperor Mary, as the head of state of each, is more known as "King of the Seven Kingdoms" when being mentioned in specific regard to those seven states and not to her status as Holy Roman Emperor and King of the Germans. Von Güstrow also proposes a man named Friedrich Augustus von Württemburg, a distant descendant of the Dukes of Swabia, to be named the new Duke of Alsace, citing his near-nonexistent familial connections to the Hamburgian and Oldenburger families. In non-political news, Michael Augen, a New Rugian citizen, reaches the South Pole the first to do so, utilizing supply depots set up by previous ventures. In accordance to her promise over a decade ago, Augen and the four other member of his party are knighted by Mary.


 * Indian Empire: Queen Farah Shah was proclaimed the Empress of India in 1888, starting a new era. The Indian population rose to about 441,772,000, and the flocking of the people to coastal cities continued, with a mass increase of population in Kolkata, Mahmudpur, Karachi, Mumbai, Surat and various other minor cities and townships throughout the state. The Indian army, equipped with semi-modern armaments stood at 720,000 troops with an additional 250,000 reserves whilst the Imperial Guard was composed of 20,000 troops and the armament industry thrived on local and national level, with armaments rarely imported from foreign nations. The Indian navy experimented on ironclads and had started production of larger classes of steam engine ships, churning out first rate ironclads for various fleets, and more third rates, and fourth rates with the occasional second rate to augment the smaller patrol fleets with 40% of the national navy harboured at the Andaman and Kolkata ports. In agriculture was the largest economic focus of India, exporting various crops to foreign nations with the international jute and cotton textile production largely under Indian control. Along the same time, the Indian Renaissance were in full swing, with movements such as the Young India movement having aided in national modernisation and a massive rise in literacy and education. Moreover, promotion of industrialisation and capitalism allowed the Imperial authorities to construct a Trans-National Railway, connecting the entire Empire as well as introduction of many other commodities such as telephones, bulbs, electricity. Indian forces back the Caliphate-led Invasion of the Roman Empire, however secretly enter into negotiations as well with the Roman Empire. Along the same time, the Empire continues massively funding into the tank, after the Empire had suffered major causalities from artillery bombardment and machine gun fire during the Venad Offensive. Meanwhile, dreadnoughts are introduced into the national navy. [Mil/Eco Turn]
 * Khedivate of Bahamani: The Capital of Bahamani was Hyderabad and the population was 70.2 million. The Bahamani military was modernised, standing at roughly 80,000 and a major port and naval base was constructed at Mahmudpur, with 25% of the national navy harboured at Bahamani ports. In the economic sector, rice played the role as a major food crop to be exported. However, other important crops such as cotton, sugar cane, mango and tobacco maintained a major presence in Bahamanis exports as well. About the same time, the Bahamani textile and fishery industries reached new heights. Declares war upon Roman Empire.
 * Khedivate of Punjab: The Capital of Punjab was Lahore and the population was 50.8 million. The Punjabi military was modernised, standing at roughly 160,000. In the economic sector, wheat played the role as a major food crop to be exported. However, other important crops such as rice, cotton, cotton and ruits maintained a major presence in Punjabs exports as well. About the same time, the Punjabi rock-salt, sugar and leather industries were of significant importance as well. Declares war on Roman Empire
 * Khedivate of Vijaynagar: The Capital of Vijaynagar was Coimbatore and the population was 40.4 million. The Vijaynagari military was modernised, standing at roughly 120,000 with 15% of the national navy harboured at Vijaynagari ports. In the economic sector, rice played the role as a major food crop to be exported. However, other important crops such as tea, sugar cane, mango and tobacco maintained a major presence in Vijaynagars exports as well. About the same time, the Vijaynagari fishery and leather industries were of significant importance as well. Declares war on Roman Empire
 * Indian Overseas Territories: Aceh, Mauritius, Tromelin, Reunion and Seychelles.
 * Nederlanden-WARSWARSWARS. But seriously it's just wars. nothing unusual. eco and mil
 * Belgium- eco and mil
 * Luxembourg-eco and mil


 * Korea: Korea continues to build up its military. Meanwhile, more Taoist and Buddhist temples are built. Taoism rises in popularity and gains more followers. Regular (read: not Imperial) Shinto gains a few more followers as well, mainly along the coastline in Southeastern Korea, particularly in Busan, Jejudo, Ulsan, and the coastal cities and coastal towns of Southern Gyeongsang Province. Mahayana Tao-Shintoism also continues to grow, and begins gaining followers from the areas where Shinto is growing, with some Shintoists switching to Mahayana Tao-Shintoism. The military in the colony of Haejagang (해자강) continues to be on high alert and continues to heavily patrol the Korean settlements. Meanwhile, industrialisation and modernisation continues in Korea (similar to OTL Japan's Meiji Restoration). Monarch Hyomyeong continues investing in technology and science. The Hyundai Motor Company continues creating the first Korean car, with the final parts of it being completed on the seventh month. The car is tested, and comes back with successful results. The Hyundai Motor Company begins making more of it, and will release the Hyundai A1 (official name for the first car) to the market next year.
 * Ruthenia: The Ruthenians continue their industrial development. Research on airship construction also continues. Most of the country is now reachable by rail. The Ruthenians begin to replace their ships with steam-powered ironclads.
 * Borealia_Flag_2.pngUnion of Borealia: Both the economy and military improve across all the provinces of the Union. The thriving industries now run entirely on petroleum, procured from the oil collected from Alaska and California. While the traditional hearts of each city, particularly New Vienna, continue to reflect the same idyllic Baroque style, newer expansions to these urban centers are packed with factories and other industrial equipment. Cities recently built in southern California and northern Alaska are much more developed, as some parts of the Kiatagmiut province are almost unrecognizable. The economy of the Union stems from the exportation of natural resources. San Francisco and Mamterlliq continue to be the main centers of the gold trade, while oil wells begin to speckle the coastal range of California. More oil wells are built in Upper Alaska, bringing entrepreneurs to that region. Large monopolies on lumber and animal products are also prevalent in Santiago and Pannenstiel. All of these businesses are connected with diesel trains that span the continent. As the various earlier philosophies continue to grow and factionalize, these turn into competing ideas that promote further progression and ingenuity from the younger generation. Electrical power continues to spread, although one scientist claims to have created better light by conducting gas. A theory of quanta is developed to explain phenomenon as smaller levels, and more theories follow to develop machines at this level. Tanks continue to be developed. X-rays are being used to interpret internal injuries. Airplanes begin to be built off of the Remen design in Pannenstiel. We continue to uphold the New Munich Declaration along with Algonquia, Reme, Mexaca, and Arcadia. An organization for promoting peace in the Pacific is established, whose members currently include Korea, China and Ayutthaya.  As more industrial goods continue to pour in from Reme, Borealian entrepreneurs begin selling more oil, gold, lumber, and livestock to the East Coast. This year the Curia authorizes the creation of the Borealian Aeronautics Engineering Laboratory (BAEL) to administrate over developments in airplanes and other flying machines. Industrial goods are sent to Brazil and China to improve their respective economies. Support continues to be given to the Republican rebels in China. In sympathy for the oppression of Communism in Europe, a small Communist Party emerges this year in New Vienna. These people are viewed suspiciously, however, as Communism usually has no place in Borealian culture. We ask Spain to aid us in a joint Antarctic expedition to the South Pole.
 * The State of Australia: The state greatly increases this year by beginning joint control over the colony of New Mecklenburg, provided by Germany on the provision of ceding the whole colony by 1929. The capital of the state is centered at Dandiri (OTL Brisbane), which administer over all land settlements and the Luwrit Sea (OTL Tasman Sea). Schools and media centers are established that teach Borealianist philosophy along with essential education. Supplies and engineers are continually sent to the Timor Sultanate to improve their industry. Settlements begin to grow around the Lake Eyre region. With respect to the German colonial government, we ask Croatia to purchase the part of the outback north of Lake Eyre.
 * The Commonwealth of Oceana: Naval bases continue being built to enforce claims on several islands (from OTL Palau to Fiji). A major naval base is constructed on the Island of Midway in the Republic of Hawaii. Another major naval base is constructed in Fiji to complement the base on Midway. Exploration of West Antarctica continues. The navy also claims several islands near New Zealand (OTL Auckland, Chatham, and Macquarie Islands).
 * Colony of Kinshasa: With the incorporated French colony, continues to expand its lumber and mining companies with cheap labor picked up from surrounding natives. An organized government forms along with some small villages. The border expands inward 750px.


 * Romania: In Moldavia and Dobruja, we begin agricultural industrialisation. We build more factories in our nation. More collectivisation occurs. Tractors begin to be used in farms. We export many agricultural goods to our Communist allies. We fight along the Ardelean Line.
 * Emeraldie: The land forces stand at 90,000 men, with 70,000 in reserve, modernisation of the armed forces is completed. Vast industrial expansion occurs in the region following years of government encouragement and subsidies. We expand 800 px into the continent's interior. Work continues on construction of the Emerald Canal (current estimates show it will be completed by 1914) and vast expansion of oil production begins after the government provides subsidies to entrepreneurs. With the booming economy, the government begins investing heavily in education and infrastructure. In other new the first domestically produced cars are built, with companies taking advantage of the growing petrol supply. The government continues the rebuilding effort. The emeraldian government offers support for any non-Communist nations in the upcoming war, these include reduced oil prices and a land lease policy. We expand our armaments factories to meet the land lease policy targets. The government announces the creation of the Royal Air Corp, taking advantage of the new technology. However, at the moment most planes are donated and are used for reconnaissance.
 * Emeraldie Pacific Territories: A legislative parliament is created to take care of local issues. The South Pacific station is expanded with new modern ships. The territory government is granted the ability to control a small armed force to maintain peace in the region and protect from native aggression, its current numbers are around 8,000 men.
 * Peoples Republic of China: With Japan aiding Qinghai, we begin to be pushed out of Qinghai, despite the Qinghai advance being slow. Wanting not to lose the war, we request aid from all Eurasian nations, even promising aid for Rome if they help us. We continue to spread propaganda throughout Qinghai, hoping to send them into civil war. We declare full mobilisation, putting the total force of our military at 5,000,000. We offer to open peace negotiations with Japan, accepting our defeat.
 * Imperial Japanese Diplomacy: We accept the PRC's declaration of surrender, ending the war, and enter in negoation with the PRC.
 * Mexaca continues to industrialize, and is growing in strength.
 * Commonwealth Duchy of Oldenburg: The Navy's airships are deployed for the first time to the front this year, proving themselves to be. Dry useful for both reconnaissance and bombing raids. Another ten are ordered by the admiralty. At the same time, the army begins its testing of aeroplanes, using designs inspired by other countries. The war generally continues. In other news, OHG surveyors charting Spitzbergen (Svalbard) discover large coal deposits throughout the archipelago. The news is kept highly secret, only being passed on to the Board of the OHG, the Premier, and the Duke. In political news, elections are held for the Landtag. The Catholic Bloc remains the strongest party, followed by the Socialists, thus ensuring the Landtag's support for Premier Br Friederich Ritter von Schuhmacher. The Konservativen have, however, greatly increased their share of the seats, to the detriment of the established coalition. Their relative success is attributed to the party's violently anti-Communist platform and support from wealthy interests.
 * Commonwealth Lordship of Neu Norderney: The Lordship continues with the war. The authorities are very interested in Oldenburg's airship experiments, and very soon a plan is conceived for a regular Trans-Atlantic airship service, to supplement the bi-weekly steamer packet. Naturally, the plan will have to remain shelved for the duration of the war. A small number of submarines begin construction in Jacqueline's dockyards, which the newly established Neu Norderney Admiralty hope will form the nucleus of a small but effective independent navy (Neu Norderney still relies heavily on Oldenburger and other German naval protection, so much so that Oldenburg still stations its Borealia Squadron in Jacqueline Harbour).
 * Morocco: The Sultanate of Morocco continues to improve its economy, infrastructure and build up its military, mainly the army and navy. Morocco continues to westernize the nation and the population continues to grow by adding 500,000 people every year. The population of Morocco now stands at 16 million people, while the number of military troops stands at 1,100,000 soldiers. Number of ships active in Moroccan Navy stands at 40 ironclad ships, 14 frigates, 14 cruisers and 18 destroyers. Continue mass building of early fighters and bombers on military airports, which later added into Moroccan Air Force. The nation expends south by 16,000 sq km, with a few new cities being built. Roads and railroads are built between old and new cities. Morocco declares neutrality in the Great War. Fewer museums, colleges and more houses, schools, hospitals, power plants and mining plants are built. The mining plants produces materials coal, iron and now gold and copper, which later used as products from industries. Industry continues improving and few factories are built along in cities, creating jobs for people of Morocco. The telephone/communications and mosaics industries continue to grow under a few large monopolies. With parts of the country hooked up to electricity, few middle class citizens and rich citizens have light in their homes. The telegraph is popular with the rich and business people. The telephone is popular with the rich people of society. The first Moroccan built airship is built, and Tank Reach begins, planning to finished in 1918. A few docks and mosques are built. The Moroccan Navy continues building a series of armored destroyers, cruisers and cargo ships which destroyers later added to Moroccan Navy and cargo ships are for trade and for future tensions. Trade with various major European powers decides economic boom of Morocco and Morocco's largest exports are mosaics and largest imports are mostly food. Artillery becomes more widely used in combat and more industries continues building a series of wartime artillery, which later added it to Moroccan Armed Forces. Meanwhile, few new trains are produced and one new railway line is opened in service. Sultan Abdelaziz continues to plan new reforms for Morocco and continues investing heavily in technology and science. Morocco continues building a few military camps for soldiers living at Moroccan-German border and Moroccan-Spanish border.
 * Spain  continues to prosper as a center of the arts and learning. The construction of new buildings, roads and other infrastructure continues. Spanish merchants and emissaries continue to sail around the world to expand the reach of Spain in terms of wealth and diplomatic connections. Spain also becomes a place where artists and intellectual minds meet and do things. It is cool. Due to the burgeoning growth of the economy, new jobs created in the five major cities led to more people moving to the cities. The buildings rise higher and the trains run faster, especially in the major cities such as Zaragoza, Barcelona and Madrid. Cars and railways and all sorts of cool modern stuff. Spain continues to lay claim to Antarctica. The construction of ships and weaponry continues. Boats and guns and cars. Spain begins to mass troops along the border with France and increases patrols around the entire coast of Spain. Spain continues to commission destroyers and increases the number of battle ready battleships in the Royal Armada. More artillery stuff. Carlo Ferreira continues to develop aeroplanes and makes great advances. The Spanish government condemns the Communist nations. Spain continues to seek out dissenters in Communist France to weaken the French government's strength. Spain continues to advocate the expansion of the anti-Communist league. The Spanish colony of West Africa expands 8000 sq km north in the west and east, totaling 16,000 sq km. Croats in Dahomey retain their rights. Dahomey expands 8000 sq km into the interior of Africa.  The Spanish colony in southwest Africa expands 8000 sq km inland as well. In the French front, Spain deploys armored vehicles unlike anything ever seen before. They roll across France to limited success, as they still have many flaws. Cool name for tanks coming later. Also, Spain launches more dreadnoughts. Armed planes fight in France sort of. Dogfights and the such. France falls and a Spanish diplomatic entourage goes to Stuttgart to present Spanish post-war terms. FREE OCCITANIA. #NoMoreWikiaChanges

'''Imperial Japan: The PRC has surrendered and has accepted their defeat, thus the Japanese-PRC War ends and the Imperial Japanese Foreign Minister Kogan Riyu attends the peace conference in the PRC's capital and the soldiers return home and are hailed as national heroes. However, Imperial Japan notices the break down of law and order in Russia and considers the Treaty of Vladivostock to be null and void, for a new oppressive government has taken over, and thus Imperial Japan is forced to intervene upon the Tartar/Siberian Seperatists in their struggle against this tyranical new government that is oppressing them, and thus we declare war on the current government of Russia and invade from Japanese Siberia with 2,000,000 soldiers. Meanwhile the Book on the Russo-Japanese War is published, and our soldiers are trained based off of that book.

Emperor Rajiangstan himself attended New Munich, and noted “This city is a spectacular city, with lights gleaming over the fresh lakes, twinkling in the twilight, with the telephone that connects two voices from a far, and the kaleidoscope that has me see a beautiful rainbow of colors, indeed New Munich is a beacon upon a hill, and I hope Japan adopts the Borelian model of modernization.” The Emperor also returns to Tokyo, signs the Treaty of the Hague and the Treaty of Beijing, only to die, ushering an era of peace. “I was born, destined for something great, and something great I became, for I have made Japan the pinnacle of hope and light, sharing the greatness of the rising sun, to all four corners of the world. I may die today, but the Empire of Japan shall be eternal.” There is a massive memorial service held in Emperor Rajiangstan’s honor, and his first son, Emperor Heiwa to Han'ei, succeeds him, and begins to adopt the Borealian model of industrialization, trying to make Tokyo like New Munich. Seeing the German Empire quickly hand over IndoChina, Japan declares war upon and invades Spain. The Empire of Japan offers an ultimatum to the German Empire, cede Indochina to us, offer us a 10 year NAP, and give us trading rights to the German Pacific colonies of Burnei and Australia. In a major speech in Kyoto, later repeated in Tokyo, the Emperor of Japan says "With Japanese dominance secured in the Pacific as a result of their deals with Germany and Spain we turn to our new enemy, the Communist Russians. The Communists threaten our very existance as a nation and we attack them to ensure Japanese dominance and political hegemony in the Pacific and Asia. We call upon 2 million able bodied young men to bring honor to your family, friends, nation, and empire and invade the Communist menance from Japanese Siberia."
 * Algeria expands 5000 sq km south as part of the nationalistic campaign to become a great nation on the African continent. Military technology is brought in from Spain, as well as other things. Berbers are satisfied with their legal conditions now. Fabran government remains in power.
 * Singapore also begins to develop naval technology to protect its economic interests with the aid of Spain. Singapore also greatly benefits from the newly re-invigorated trade in the region. Singapore continues to accumulate wealth as a center of trade and all that nonsense.
 * Russia:  Polunin dies by assassination, the bullet of an Anarchist, as his motorcade. People dont mourn him like Ayernov. The wars on both fronts go horribly.Millions die, and the peasants, those who know someone who died, have enough. People riot in open distraught, only to be put down by blood and sword. The revolution is over, many think, the state has lost its initial values. Meanwhile the government splits in two, forming seperate blocs as the ayernovist anarchocommunists and the pro-polunin revisionists, . These pro-ayernov members are actively persecuted and purged. In November, the former Tartary occupied areas declare independence, But things really hit rock bottom on December 14th, when open warfare between the two communist alliances, as well as pro democracy, orthodox fundamentalists, and tartar separatists pick up weaponry. In Siberia, the trans-SIberian railroad is blown up again by Tartar Seperatists. The Ayernov statue Is blown up by The Theocrats. The Massicre of Pleskov occurs, where chemical weapons are used against civilians. The grand expirement has failed. But many people want a second chance. The pro-ayernovist anarcho communists, supported by the naval remnants, flee to Africa, settling at the unclaimed mouth of the Lukuledi River. Starting as a population of 4,000 military officers and officers, it gains the name of simply "The Republic" after the famed work of Plato. Development of basic infrastructure and housing complexes begins in said Republic. Meanwhile, war with Japan officially ends.
 * Caliphate drastically improves infrastructure, industry and economy. As we seek to protect our possesions, we become less expansionist into foreign cultures and lands. We continue westernization efforts espsically in urban, developed regions, such as Baghdad. As with every year, we maintain our two Holy cities and donate a small amount of our income to charity, espsically to the poor: beggars, widows, and more of the like. We maintain our military, but the military becomes less emphizied with the signing of the pan-Asian pact, which protects the Caliphate from any foreign invasion and threats. We improve relations with the Afghans, hoping to bring them into the Pact in the near future. With the death of Caliph Hakeem bin Malik many of our young citizens call him the "Magnificent", specifically for his republican reforms, implementing the Shura. With the westernization and increasing democratic power, we begin, on a small scale, implementing railroads, espcially connecting urban cities and regions. We also begin construction of a small scale Ironclad fleet, as there is no need for a large, because of the protection of India and Japan. With the full implementation and the construction of roads, postal service, railroads, transportation and news travels faster than ever, allowing the unity of the Caliphate. We begin to encourage urban cities sto start developing their own newspapers, as along with the arrival of radios into the Caliphate, due to the Westernization Effort. We continue to support the idea of the Caliphate as a pan-Islamic state, not Pan-Arabic. The Government completely reforms, seeking Hakeem's dream of a truly democratic Caliphate. A new office is created: Sultan. The Caliph becomes only the religious leader of the Caliphate, with the Sultan being elected from the Shura. We accept the alliance Morroco offered. The Caliphate begins to become federalized, with every province of the Caliphate holding a small amount of power. We continue to attempt to convert Shia Muslims, even bribing local religious leaders to begin to teach Sunni beliefs. We postpone the treaty of Isfahan until hostilaties are solved. As of 1909, the Islamic Caliphate, hegemon of the Arabia and Iran, continue the war for liberation of Muslims in the Roman Levant. One of the last words of the Prophet: Conquer the Romans, many are inspired by the current war and the state exploits it as propaganda as thousands of pious young men flock to recruitment.  As with the Treaty of Isfahan in haitus, we go ahead and reform our policies of colonies and the colonies theirselves in Africa, changing specifically borders. The Offensive against the Roman Empire continues but due to relatively low results, and mass casualities on both sides, the Caliphate secretly starts negotiations with 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 worth of gold. The silver mine in Srebrenica is mined. Kotor Saraka (Adelaide) continues to expand. Draganić continues his research. The war with Poland draws to an end and Croatia as well as the rest of the Slavic League begin writing up a treaty.
 * Isles of the Archvoivodeship (Otoci Nadvojvodstva): The infrastructure is built up.
 * Ban Republic of Carantania (Banska Republika Karantanija): Being 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 onto the other parts of Borneo.
 * Croatian Africa: Continues to expand.
 * Empire of Northern China: With the Signing of the Treaty of Beijing Manchuria and Northern China are merged, establishing the Empire of Northern China, with Emperor Wu, Emperor Rajiangstan’s second son, as Emperor. Major reforms are enacted and there is immediate construction to railroads, schools, hospitals, homes, factories, ports, and cities in order to rebuild Northern China after the war. Mining operations also continue. the Empire is also noted as one of the most diverse places in the Japanese Empire. We invest in developing the cities of Beijing and Tianjin. Emperor Waizu marries into the the Qing Dynasty, restoring the dynasty of the Manchu Empire of old.
 * Japanese Formosa: We invest in Formosa by implementing a massive railroad construction program as well as port construction to further the transportation of Formosa. We implement a program of both industry and agriculture in Formosa, with the industry being for Japan and the agriculture being for Formosa. We also make massive public education reform in Formosa. Industry also speeds up as a result of the wartime economy. Econ/mil turn. Industry is dedicated to the war.
 * Japanese Shanghai: We industrialize Shanghai and upgrade its port and infrastructure, including education. We have Shanghai specialize in shipbuilding and trading, making it a hub for trade in East Asia. We rapidly increase port building to make this city a hub for trade.
 * Northern Philippines: We welcome the former French Philippines into our empire and we begin expanding its infrastructure and industry by constructing railroads, bridges, schools, hospitals, ports, etc. We also expand our economy. Industry is dedicated to the war
 * Southern Philippines: We welcome the former Hamburgian Philippines into our empire and we begin expanding its infrastructure and industry by constructing railroads, bridges, schools, hospitals, ports, etc. We also expand our economy. Industry is dedicated to the war.
 * Japanese Siberia: We welcome the former Tartary territory into our empire and we begin an extensive program to rebuild the area after the war by expanding its infrastructure and industry by constructing railroads, bridges, schools, hospitals, ports, and factories. We also expan the economy of the area. Industry is dedicated to the war.
 * Jiangsu: Major rebuilding reforms are enacted and there is immediate construction to railroads, schools, hospitals, homes factories, ports, and cities in order to rebuild Northern China after the war. We also construct a major irrigation system of Jiangsu and farm crops such as rice and wheat and make industry based on textiles and food and develop Shanghai and Nanking as important major cities.
 * Guangdong: We begin developing the infrastructure of Guangdong by implementing major reform, and we build railroads, factories, schools, hospitals, homes, ports, and cities. In order to fuel this, we focus on developing the ports in the Pearl Delta River region making them a hub for trade in the Pacific. We open the Pearl River Delta to other nations in the Pacific and are willing to make a trade deal with them.


 * Empire of Lanka: The Lankan government focuses on industrialization. Accelerated industrialization in Lanka continues. The Edict of 1891 and Waardige Accord stay in effect. Dutch architecture, arts, and culture have had a permanent effect on Lankan culture, although Lankan culture still remains with its own identity. The army remains one of the most modern in Asia due to the permanent result of European military from the Dutch throughout the protectoratecy. As the populations move to the cities, more and more men are recruited in the Lankan army. The parliament enacts nationwide conscription to reform the military, requiring all able-bodied men above twenty-one need to have at least eight years in active service, following by three years in the reserves. As the populations move to the cities, more and more men are recruited in the Lankan army. The most recent census taken in 1860, accounts for 2,992,224 citizens. The trade ports on the island remain in heavy use with expansion of trade in Asia. Significant urbanization causes the cities of Waardige, Sri Jaywardenepura Kotte, Kandy, Kalmunai, and Galle, to be flooded with people. Waardige continues to be a trade, technological and industrial center in Asia. The complex Waardige canal system sees fall in use as more and more it becomes outdated due to changes in ships. The Island Spoorwegmaatschappij starts massive construction of railroads across the islands. Religion in the empire continues to be mixed with the three main religions of Hinduism, Buddhism and Dutch Reformist being worshipped on the main island while there are a few animist natives on Nava Kotte. The Lankan navy still holds warships that were supplied during the protectoratecy.The provincie system instituted in 1773 is changed to be less feudal and more bureaucratic, which basically turns them into an administrative division. The the title of the head of the provincie is changed from Count to Emperor's Commissioner. The King's Commissioner is also the head of the parliament (provinciale staten) in the provincie. Along with there being provinciale statens, a main parliament is also created. This main parliament will be assembled on the Emperor's command, and is used to decide issues, create public projects, and pass laws for the whole empire. Last year the emperor called the main parliament to discuss the issue of public education and the idea of the creating a constitution. The Emperor and the parliament passed the Compulsory Education Act of 1886, which states that education in Lanka for the ages of five to ten is compulsory. In elementary school the children learn Sinhala and Dutch (reading and writing) and basic mathematics. Also incorporated in this act is an edict against children working over thirteen hours a day. The emperor and parliament also created a constitution that officially set up the bureaucratic system. Last year parliament wanted to start to pursue a policy of faster industrialization, and to do this they passed the Edict of 1888 which abolished the caste system and slavery as well. Lankan industrial funding is used to build factories in the capital first, and then creating factories across major cities in the empire. To assist accelearted industrialization, Lanka tries to define its national unity. The government establishes the national language to be Sinhalese, and enforces this in schools. Buddhism continues to be the national religion and is inserted into the national curriculum. Lanka starts massively producing and exporting cigars (and other uses for tobacco), rubber, and mining diamonds and other precious gems. Galle continues to be fit by the Germans to build ironclads. Ironclads continue being purchased from the Germans. Lanka signs an alliance and trade pact with Spain, and a separate trade pact is signed with India. Seeing international reactions on the Tamil language ban, the Emperor modifies the law in the Edict of 1904. The edict states that Tamil is allowed to be spoken everywhere, but only written in public places in Tamil majority areas, and on Tamil religious buildings. The Empire begins to modernize its military by purchasing weapons from Japan and Rome, and specifically the Maxim Gun from India. The empire states that it will remain neutral in the current wars thus far. No draft occurrs, but the empire does make defense preparations in case of the invasion of the island.
 * Roman Empire: The Empire is now at a period of peace and prosperity after a long period of war and uncertainty. Roman trade routes stretch across most of the world in the pursuit of wealth and trade goods and Roman military might remains a powerful force in Europe and other parts of the world. The Roman central government does what it can to address all of the issues of the various archonates within the Empire and ensure that their needs are met even as they help instill strength in the central government. Railroads are constructed around the nation to help connect the Empire and its peoples and steamships are used for much the same purpose on water. To further strengthen its position in Africa, the Roman government begins to make official claims in the Saharan desert north of Egypt's southern border. However, some in the Empire scoff at this, suggesting that the Empire is wasting its time claiming barren land and should focus on more resourceful areas of Africa, Asia or Europe. As European interest in Africa begins to heat up, Roman officials begin exploring possible resources or benefits from extended interaction with Madagascar, and trade and diplomats are directed there to assess the situation. Trade also expands with Hawaii, which becomes an impressive conduit of trade for Roman merchants and businesses. As such, the Empire takes an interest in Hawaii, but rather than try to annex it, as it is too far from Roman authority to do so, Roman officials instead would like to see a strong and friendly Hawaii. Weapons and officers are sent to Hawaii to help train their soldiers and protect their independence. The Roman Empire responds to the increased activity of Communist insurgency in other nations in Europe by adopting a more aggressive stance. Troops are sent to Gothia and Ruthenia to protect against potential Communist aggression from the north, and the Roman Empire begins making overtures towards Croatia, Transylvania and Vlachia to prepare their defences. The Roman Empire also deploys more troops to Italy to present a clear vanguard against potential aggression from Communist France or Lombardy, which is seen as soon falling to Communists while the Roman Empire is forbidden by treaty to intervene. The Roman Empire is concerned with the fall of the Tartary to the Communist hordes, and is particularly concerned that the Caliphate has aligned itself towards the hordes. Fears of being surrounded soon start to build up in the Roman government, and as a result the Roman government does what it can to help shore up its defenses both physical and diplomatic. The Roman Empire expands trade, industry and military training to members of the Holy League, hoping to create and re-inforce a stable and strong military alliance in the Empire's sphere of influence. The Roman Empire is forced to take drastic measures in recent years, as the expansion of Communism is considered unacceptable. Roman officials draft and generally pass Plan East, which calls for strengthening the Roman Empire's allies in the Holy League so they can protect the Roman Empire's flank while the Roman Empire concentrates on a potential eastern front. Military officers and engineers travel to Armenia, Georgia, Assyria, and Transylvania to train and improve those countries in all matters martial and industrial. The same goes for the Caliphate, hoping that the Caliphate would provide the crucial link in the chain for eastern defense. To further update the Empire's strength, the Roman Empire militarizes, and the Senate mandates that the Roman military be at a total size of 850,000 in peacetime and that a million man army must be able to be mobilized within a few weeks. Threats of Communism in Lombardy are too large to be ignored, so Roman forces militarize in Italy and pledge that no former treaty will hold Roman forces back if Lombardy becomes a clear threat. Remnants of the Vlachian government flee to the Roman Empire or Transylvania and call for intervention in Vlachia. Roman and Vlachian forces move in, securing the southern part of the country and stopping at the Wallachian-Moldavian border, as per the compromise between the Communists and Monarchists. Support for the true Vlachian government rises, and the Roman Empire provides the southern government the resources it needs to get itself back on its feet. To help stabilize its northern border, train cars full of weapons and ammo are sent to Croatia, hopefully to bolster that front. The rebel Syrians are seen as an annoyance, and as such local forces are tasked with putting them down. Troops are stationed in Syria after the cancellation of the supposed alliance, and alliances with Georgia and Assyria are affirmed again. With war declared upon the Roman Empire, the Roman Empire declares war in return and requests that all of its allies join in the defense. The military and economy are put on total war footing and all needed efforts to help the war effort are taken.
 * Tatar Empire:  The fall of the Tartary is a huge surprise, and many officials fled to Roman lands. However, the Roman Empire was able to set up a puppet government claiming legitimacy from the remnants of the Tartary. The Tatar royal family is installed as the leaders of this puppet state, with much of the government based on that of the Roman Empire. The Roman Empire does what it can to industrialize and modernize the puppet state, which effectively only controls the Black Sea coast. Effort is put entirely into the army, as there is no power that can challenge the might of the Roman navy in the Black Sea. Demoralized remnants of the Tartar Army along with volunteers are trained by Roman officers to help get the state back on its feet.
 * Reme: Reme begins to build up its military and economy. Reme elects a new president and starts to build up its navy. Meanwhile, trade is improved on, with industrialization, mainly former Byzantine areas slowly being introduced to populous areas. Lumber, cash crops, and other goods become a major export of Reme, and starts getting Reme a jump-start into the European economy. There is also the creation of New navy ships, to help modernize the Reman navy. Coal mines are built, and starts churning out coal at a consistent rate. Coal mining plants are also started to be upgraded. Reme also starts very slowly changing its focus to industrial things, with a nation wide railroad being considered to be built. Industrialization of river areas continue, as well as the production of textiles to cheaper the price of Reman cotton. Meanwhile, a Socialist-based party starts to gain seats in parliament, with plans to make Reme a more self-sufficient state. People are getting anxious over the threat of Communism to Reme, and vote on the crackdown of Communist sympathizers and their families. The Reman government is pleased that Pearl River has voted to join the Empire, and promises that their rights and property will be maintained. The Reman military is improved a bit in an effort to hold up its part of the Fraternal Alliance. The Franqi brothers begin experimenting with the idea of heavier-than-air flight, but the task is daunting and will take some time to perfect a flying device. They manage to create a working model which flies for several seconds. However, it isn't impressive enough and they continue their work. Following the outbreak of war, the Reman Empire declares war on France and sends troops to help the Spanish in their front.
 * Protectorate of Wolof: Wolof begins to build up its military and economy. Reman food and supplies come in to help the formerly starving nation, as well as the Reman military to help sustain order. Some representation is given in the Reman Parliament, to give Wolof a minimal say in how Reme should be run. Meanwhile, plans to industrialize the coastal areas as well as plans for fortifications are presented, and are started to be worked on.

1913
''' The Great War has largely ended on the battlefield, with the general 12/12/12 Armistice being established on all front lines as diplomats and statesmen negotiate behind closed doors. '''

''' The Great War has killed millions of soldiers and has deeply affected global thought. Technology has lept forward in the ability to for Humans to kill other Humans. '''

''' Communism as an ideology has largely been discredited as a result of the war. Many Communist parties see a drop in membership. Only Transitional Communism, with its slow drawn out approach, survives largely untouched. '''


 * Indian Empire: Queen Farah Shah was proclaimed the Empress of India in 1888, starting a new era. The Indian population rose to about 441,772,000, and the flocking of the people to coastal cities continued, with a mass increase of population in Kolkata, Mahmudpur, Karachi, Mumbai, Surat and various other minor cities and townships throughout the state. The Indian army, equipped with semi-modern armaments stood at 720,000 troops with an additional 250,000 reserves whilst the Imperial Guard was composed of 20,000 troops and the armament industry thrived on local and national level, with armaments rarely imported from foreign nations. The Indian navy experimented on ironclads and had started production of larger classes of steam engine ships, churning out first rate ironclads for various fleets, and more third rates, and fourth rates with the occasional second rate to augment the smaller patrol fleets with 40% of the national navy harboured at the Andaman and Kolkata ports. In agriculture was the largest economic focus of India, exporting various crops to foreign nations with the international jute and cotton textile production largely under Indian control. Along the same time, the Indian Renaissance were in full swing, with movements such as the Young India movement having aided in national modernisation and a massive rise in literacy and education. Moreover, promotion of industrialisation and capitalism allowed the Imperial authorities to construct a Trans-National Railway, connecting the entire Empire as well as introduction of many other commodities such as telephones, bulbs, electricity. The Indians finally develop the very first tank, introducing the Agni I into the Indian Empire. However, by now the armstrice had been signed and negotiations were largely over. Regardless, the new weapon was seen as effective tool to be used in warfare and the Indian Queen immediately summoned the Emperor of Japan and Caliph of the Caliphate to Kolkata. [Mil/Eco Turn]
 * Khedivate of Bahamani: The Capital of Bahamani was Hyderabad and the population was 70.2 million. The Bahamani military was modernised, standing at roughly 80,000 and a major port and naval base was constructed at Mahmudpur, with 25% of the national navy harboured at Bahamani ports. In the economic sector, rice played the role as a major food crop to be exported. However, other important crops such as cotton, sugar cane, mango and tobacco maintained a major presence in Bahamanis exports as well. About the same time, the Bahamani textile and fishery industries reached new heights.
 * Khedivate of Punjab: The Capital of Punjab was Lahore and the population was 50.8 million. The Punjabi military was modernised, standing at roughly 160,000. In the economic sector, wheat played the role as a major food crop to be exported. However, other important crops such as rice, cotton, cotton and ruits maintained a major presence in Punjabs exports as well. About the same time, the Punjabi rock-salt, sugar and leather industries were of significant importance as well.
 * Khedivate of Vijaynagar: The Capital of Vijaynagar was Coimbatore and the population was 40.4 million. The Vijaynagari military was modernised, standing at roughly 120,000 with 15% of the national navy harboured at Vijaynagari ports. In the economic sector, rice played the role as a major food crop to be exported. However, other important crops such as tea, sugar cane, mango and tobacco maintained a major presence in Vijaynagars exports as well. About the same time, the Vijaynagari fishery and leather industries were of significant importance as well.
 * Indian Overseas Territories: Aceh, Mauritius, Tromelin and Reunion.
 * Korea: Korea continues to build up its military. Meanwhile, more Taoist and Buddhist temples are built. Taoism rises in popularity and gains more followers. Regular (read: not Imperial) Shinto gains a few more followers as well, mainly along the coastline in Southeastern Korea, particularly in Busan, Jejudo, Ulsan, and the coastal cities and coastal towns of Southern Gyeongsang Province. Mahayana Tao-Shintoism also continues to grow, and begins gaining followers from the areas where Shinto is growing, with some Shintoists switching to Mahayana Tao-Shintoism. The military in the colony of Haejagang (해자강) continues to be on high alert and continues to heavily patrol the Korean settlements. Meanwhile, industrialisation and modernisation continues in Korea (similar to OTL Japan's Meiji Restoration). Monarch Hyomyeong continues investing in technology and science. The Hyundai Motor Company releases the Hyundai A1 to the market, and in the meantime continues to make more cars.
 * Ruthenia: Ruthenia declares war on the chaotic remnants of Russia when units of the former communist Russian Army cross the Ruthenian border and seize a small town. The disorganized rabble, little more than bandits, is quicky defeated by the Ruthenian Army. Most of the former Russian soldiers are either captured or killed. It's then revealed they were fleeing from a former Russian General who intends on conquering Ruthenia and turning it into his personal kingdom. They reveal that he had gone completely mad after the Civil War began, as he now claims that he is a Prophet of the Lord. The so-called "Prophet Mikhail" preaches a savage and demented bastardization of Christianity. The "Mikhailites" practice a version of communion much more literal than any orthodox form of Christianity. They brutally murder Russian peasants and feast on their flesh and drink their blood. They do this because Russia is caught up in a terrible famine, and the Mad "Prophet" had decided that the weak mush be fed to keep up the strength of the warriors. The Ruthenians become more determined to see the defeat of the Mad Prophet to save the Russians from living under the rule of the mad man.
 * Borealia_Flag_2.pngUnion of Borealia: Both the economy and military improve across all the provinces of the Union. The thriving industries now run entirely on petroleum, procured from the oil collected from Alaska and California. While the traditional hearts of each city, particularly New Vienna, continue to reflect the same idyllic Baroque style, newer expansions to these urban centers are packed with factories and other industrial equipment. Cities recently built in southern California and northern Alaska are much more developed, as some parts of the Kiatagmiut province are almost unrecognizable. The economy of the Union stems from the exportation of natural resources. San Francisco and Mamterlliq continue to be the main centers of the gold trade, while oil wells begin to speckle the coastal range of California. More oil wells are built in Upper Alaska, bringing entrepreneurs to that region. Large monopolies on lumber and animal products are also prevalent in Santiago and Pannenstiel. All of these businesses are connected with diesel trains that span the continent. As the various earlier philosophies continue to grow and factionalize, these turn into competing ideas that promote further progression and ingenuity from the younger generation. Electrical power continues to spread, although one scientist claims to have created better light by conducting gas. A theory of quanta is developed to explain phenomenon as smaller levels, and more theories follow to develop machines at this level. Tanks continue to be developed. X-rays are being used to interpret internal injuries. Airplanes begin to be built off of the Remen design in Pannenstiel. We continue to uphold the New Munich Declaration along with Algonquia, Reme, Mexaca, and Arcadia. An organization for promoting peace in the Pacific is established, whose members currently include Korea, China and Ayutthaya.  As more industrial goods continue to pour in from Reme, Borealian entrepreneurs begin selling more oil, gold, lumber, and livestock to the East Coast. This year the Curia authorizes the creation of the Borealian Aeronautics Engineering Laboratory (BAEL) to administer over developments in airplanes and other flying machines. Industrial goods are sent to Brazil and China to improve their respective economies. Support continues to be given to the Republican rebels in China. In sympathy for the oppression of Communism in Europe, a small Communist Party emerges this year in New Vienna. These people are viewed suspiciously, however, as Communism usually has no place in Borealian culture. We ask Spain to aid us in a joint Antarctic expedition to the South Pole.
 * The State of Australia: The state greatly increases this year by beginning joint control over the colony of New Mecklenburg, provided by Germany on the provision of ceding the whole colony by 1929. The capital of the state is centered at Dandiri (OTL Brisbane), which administer over all land settlements and the Luwrit Sea (OTL Tasman Sea). Schools and media centers are established that teach Borealianist philosophy along with essential education. Supplies and engineers are continually sent to the Timor Sultanate to improve their industry. Settlements begin to grow around the Lake Eyre region. With respect to the German colonial government, we ask Croatia to purchase the part of the outback north of Lake Eyre.
 * The Commonwealth of Oceana: Naval bases continue being built to enforce claims on several islands (from OTL Palau to Fiji). A major naval base is constructed on the Island of Midway in the Republic of Hawaii. Another major naval base is constructed in Fiji to complement the base on Midway. Exploration of West Antarctica continues. The navy also claims several islands near New Zealand (OTL Auckland, Chatham and Macquarie Islands).
 * Colony of Kinshasa: With the incorporated French colony, continues to expand its lumber and mining companies with cheap labor picked up from surrounding natives. An organized government forms along with some small villages. The border expands inward 750px.
