Principia Moderni II (Map Game)

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

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

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

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

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

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


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


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

 * You are not Emperor, must be an election first.
 * The Imperial Government orders the larger and more powerful states to attack the Kappelist states nearest to them, and that those near to one shall support.

Meanwhile Venice is ordered into Miland.
 * You cant order invations, only the conclave.

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

 * ​As a Muslim nation you would be too happy to just watch and wait as the Christian sects kill each other
 * Agreed, stricken out for implausibility. Not only would these Muslim nations not care about the sects of Christianity killing each other, you aren't able to reach Bavaria as the nations around it are Catholic and wouldn't allow this.
 * I f Bavraim wins, Christianitys power will be broken, allowing the Caliphate to do what it pleases without fear of Christain meddling.

The expedition with carry numerous technological gifts should they happen of the legendary city.
 * The Byzantine Empire readjusts to Venetian rule and the Steward asks Venice for help establishing a colony. A small Byzantine fleet sails to Jamaica and builds an outpost. Venetian ships continue to supply it and it grows by 200sqkm over the year. Byzantium begins to repair its fortification system.


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

The King(a sypathiser) for Kappelists asks the Bishop of Bavaria to travel to Rome and convince the Pope to not start a war. Fearing the faliure of diplomacy infrastructure and defensive barricades are constructed. (note, Bavaria as a an open Kappelist nation was retconned some time ago, the nation is de jure Catholic but de facto Kappelist, should war break, Bavaria will have to side with the Kappelist nations)
