A Brand New World (Map Game)

Basic Rules

 * Don't make your nation too overpowered.
 * Turns begin at 00:00 UTC.
 * Inactive nations can be invaded.
 * There can be super-national confederations like the Holy Roman Empire, essentially acting like greater alliances.
 * Don't edit past turns.
 * New users can start in the game the turn they joined in.
 * The game has no specific end date, the game will end when most users are inactive.

Turns
Each nation has one turn per day, and each turn represents one year. There are no rules as to what you can write about, so long as it makes sense. Don't make the unicorn gods from Mars help your Kyrgyz Empire take over the world. Make sure to always include the name of your nation, or everyone will have absolutely idea what you are talking about. Don't edit after you finish your turn. The changes to the map during the turns will be posted the day after.

Joining
To join, all you have to do is submit a flag, name\ and map of your nation; to make the map simply copy the map from above and paste it into whatever drawing software you use; then edit in and put the nation on it; Claus (me, the creator) will then edit the map you've saved and put it on the wiki and replace the map at the beginning of the page with the map including your nation. Then put your nation's name and your name in the list of nations. The nation can't be too large, and can have overseas colonies if the colonies are small. The game will start when five people join.

Expansion/Colonization
Keep in mind the ethnic and linguistic effects of colonization; the lands are inhabited. The distribution of ethnic groups of the world are the same as they are today, with the exception of the Americas, Oceania, and Siberia, where they are still populated by their native peoples. Speaking of which, Afro-Eurasian and American contact in this map game does exist. A healthy dose of rebellion should happen. Expansion takes time to do; don't just annex an entire continent in a single year. Keep it realistic.

You can make vassal and puppet states, although there are a few rules differentiating them from each other. Vassal states can only exist if they border the nation controlling them, and can be annexed into the state controlling them after a few years of existing. Puppet states can be separated from their father nation but overall are harder to fully annex. Unions are allowed; they are controlled by the users who controlled the multiple nations before they formed a union.

Wars
Civil wars should happen; especially if you are controlling a large, multi-ethnic empire or a succession crisis is happening if your nation is a monarchy. If a new nation does gain independence from a civil war or referendum, it will be an NPC nation until someone calls it as their own. (Everyone only control one nation, please).

There will be an algorithm for this game, but that will be made when the game starts. It covers the wars more in-depth in order to find which nation would be more successful in war.

Mods
Moderators are the players who control the game, essentially; to become a moderator a player must show that they would make a good moderator, not being aggressive, being a calm player, must be relatively active. Mods can also other people to gain their position; if the moderators give a two-thirds vote, that person becomes a mod. The moderators can control the following:
 * Banning users
 * Promoting users
 * Controlling NPC nations
 * Reverting implausible moves or godmodding
 * Cause revolts and natural disasters

Technology
Technology starts at an OTL 13th century level. Player nations can improve the technology to higher levels but only if they have the resources in their controlled regions to do so.

Foreign Affairs
Nations can request alliances with other nations if they wish; the player controls their country's government. Foreign affairs must be dealt with carefully and plausibly; don't declare war with an ally for absolutely no reason besides expansion.

Guys, please remember the year you start out in is the current in-game year. Not Year 1.

Year 19
Anarchism continues to grow throughout the world.

'''After Welsh aid of rebellions in France, they quickly fall victim of the power of anarchism. All of Western Europe is now in anarchy except from the Welsh parts.'''

Anarchist rebels start to die down to countries who stand hard against it.Tensions between the Sayfustan and the Turkish Caliphate dies down a little.
 * Polish-Lithuanain Commonwealth:Most of our anarchist rebellions have died down so most of our civil protection recruits are being transfered to the military.With our occupied land in south africa we set up a port and our citizens start to move into the colony.
 * Alaskan Republic: We still continue to execute any Anarchists in our nation due for Anarchism spreading throughout the world. We're going against anarchists who looks to be normally executed. More buildings continue to build in our colonized Uruguay and we continue to expand its colony to 50 px north once again. Anchorage, Fairbanks, Seward in those cities will likely have more buildings and population. Our troops recruit as we expand military.
 * Kingdom of Israel: We continue to surpress anarchists and we promote propaganda against anarchists and anarchism. We continue to expand our economy and building up our cities. We cease expansion for a bit. Our military is being reformed and improving.
 *  Caliphate: We begin to improve our army and navy making it mandatory for men 17-35 to do seven years military service. We put all the troops on standby in case an invasion happens. We secretly begin to help Turkish Cypriot rebels by sending them weapons, armor and training - and cannons. We begin to work on colonizing Cuba and Brazil, setting up trade posts in Cuba and Brazil and begin to convert the people to Islam with some tribes joining the religion. We begin to work on troublemakers by killing them with kindness, building cities and helping them with problems that they have. We begin to work converting non-Muslims within our land to Islam with massive wins in the New World. Seeing a rise in Anarchism we begin to aim for the youth (1-17) brainwashing them to think that Anarchism is bad and to tell the police if they find any movements. Seeing war in one year we begin to rally the people for war rising up to 1 million troops. We also begin to work on guns with goals of making one by year 32. With the death of our caliph we pick a new caliph and base the caliphate in Iraq and Syria making Baghdad our capital and picking a new caliph name Mufaddal Abul-Fazl Amir. With our new Caliph he calls for a expansion into Northern Chad, Southern Algeria,Northern Niger,Libya and Spain allying with most tribes and destroying ones that go to war with us. We ask China if we can buy Firearms from them. 

Year 18
'''The Carthage Republic is the next victim to fall to anarchism, as there country easily falls within a month and now is under complete anarchist control. There may be more nations which is the victim of the powerful forse.'''

'''With the ignorance of Anarchism by the Alaskan Republic there colony of Argentina falls quickly. However, they do manage to keep one city.'''

'''In the Sayfustan they also pay the prisce of not taking anarchism seriously. They lose all there lands in India.'''

Anarchism still revolts in all of the colonies of nations and the borders of the nations.

'''Tensions continue to saw with the Turkish Caliphate and the Sayfustan, with their two diplomats not making any difference to the tensions. War may begin next year.'''

Polish-Lithuanian commonwealth:Anarchist bases are burnt down and all anarchist leader are executed, all non-anarchist men aged 16-40 are to join civil protection against the anarchist threat. We colonise Africa from the south going 1500 pixels north, if any native village opposes us will be burnt down, but if natives let us colonise they can remain unharmed and at our protection. After a referendum for female rights feminists got 51% and non-feminists got 49%. Therefore, all females can do all the things men do and don't have to marry. The Most Serene Republic of China: We suppress all Anarchistic revolts in all of our colonies to prevent further violence. We continue to teach that anarchism will lead to continuous suffering and casualties of innocents. We accept the Welsh Empire's offer of buying our firearms. Second languages stay prominent in the colonies. Many anarchistic factions fumble on their own from fear of being eradicated. The last anarchistic faction "The Last of the Mohicans" sent us an offer to make our American Colony a dominion. Our answer is "a referendum is needed". After the referendum the answer was to keep it as a colony but will be a dominion after 50 years. We appreciate the Welsh's help for the Anquan Canal, the completion will be boosted to 39-40 years. Because of the rising tensions between the Turkish Caliphate and Sayfustan we propose that they will become a confederacy.
 * Alaskan Republic: We were worried that Anarchism spreads throughout the world with our colony Alaskan Argentina by ignorance of Anarchism has faded away but we only manage one city. Fortunately we just already got Uruguay (if we think it's collapsed, too), which we still try to expand north 50 px once again. By the looks of it, the tensions about to rise of Anarchism to spread. We continue to recruit more troops and build more cargo ships to send any goods throughout any countries. We execute any Anarchist bases and leaders to prevent anarchism into our country and our colony.

Sayfustan: As we lose our lands of India, many people feel bad about it. Yet the ruler Saladin Hashim uses this as a lesson to recognize anarchy and its "bitter fruits". He urges Parliament to loosen rules and taxes to make people happy, succeeding in improving our economy. Also, we see that the tensions are dropping between us and Turkish Caliphate. Parliament has now made the tensions known of, but nobody cares about them. We send some diplomats to Turkish Caliphate and Saharan Kingdom and ask them for some people that can join our Parliament.

Turkish Caliphate: We begin to improve our army and navy making it mandatory for men 17-35 to do seven years military service. We put all the troops on standby in case an invasion happens. We secretly begin to help Turkish Cypriot rebels by sending them weapons, armor and training - and cannons. We begin to work on colonizing Cuba and Brazil, setting up trade posts in Cuba and Brazil and begin to convert the people to Islam with some tribes joining the religion. We begin to work on troublemakers by killing them with kindness, building cities and helping them with problems that they have. We begin to work converting non-Muslims within our land to Islam with massive wins in the New World. Seeing a rise in Anarchism we begin to aim for the youth (1-17) brainwashing them to think that Anarchism is bad and to tell the police if they find any movements.''' Seeing war in one year we begin to rally the people for war rising up to 1 million troops. We also begin to work on guns with goals of making one by year 32. With the death of our caliph we pick a new caliph and base the caliphate in Iraq and Syria making Baghdad our capital and picking a new caliph name '''Mufaddal Abul-Fazl Amir.

'''The Great Welse Empire: We have conquered 3300 pixels of Russia, 3400 pixels of Canada, North Italy, West India, more of South Africa, Sierra Lona, half of Ivery Coast and Guina. We countinue to crush anarchism with all our might, fighting a pitiless war against them. We are in shock that the Carthage Republic has collapsed, we therefore begin an invasion of Gibrolta and Morocco. We aid anarchist rebels in France. ''' We continue to teach Welsh culture in our new European lands, African, Indian, Greenland, Iceland, the New World and Ireland. We build our military presence in Normandy. We build our naval presence in the North Sea, Atlantic Ocean and the South Welsh Channel (OTL English Channel). Second languages remain prominent throughout the empire. We continue to trade and help the Mayan and Lithuania empires. We help China with their canal. We build our economy, military and infrastructure. We build our navy and army. Straight roads are built throughout the empire. Many forts and castles are built. We send diplomats to the Alaskan Republic and China. Any nation which except from France can join the Superpower League. '''We begin using firearms in wars, making so much that every person in the army should have one. We countinue expanding 3500 pixels into Russia, 3600 pixels in Canada, Ivery Coast, more of South Africa, South Spain, Moroco and South Italy.'''

Year 17
MOD NOTE: If the Carthage Republic player doesn't do his turn this turn - his country will collapse.

A word spreads throughout the world: Anarchism.

'''Italy people are unsatisfied with the current kings. They begin a coup, that lasts for nine months which eventually meant that ItalIan kings was overthrown by the people. However, a top military leader died in the Battle of Rome and nobody knew who would be the new leader of Italy. A civil war begins just 10 days after the people have took control. Anarchist took advantage of this situation and took control of the country within two months marking the end of Italy. Italy has collapsed.'''

Border tensions continue with the Turkish Caliphate and Sayfustan, people urge them to go to war.

'''People of the world begin to like anarchism and all around the world anarchist coups are planned. It is your choice how to deal with them ..''' '''The Great Welsh Empire and her 52 provinces: We have conquered 3100 pixels of Russia, 3200 pixels of Canada, OTL Liberia, most of West India and the coasts of South Africa. The new 3 provinces are: Province of South Saharan (South Africa), Province of the King (Liberia) and Province of West India. We harshly put down Anarchist rebels everywhere in our empire. We also teach the young people that Anarchism isn't the way. We help our allies who are also affected by anarchism. We continue to teach Welsh culture in our new European lands, Greenland, Iceland, the New World and Ireland. We build our military presence in Normandy. We build our naval presence in the North Sea, Atlantic Ocean and the South Welsh Channel (OTL English Channel). Second languages remain prominent throughout the empire. We continue to trade and help the Mayan and Lithuania empires. We help China with their canal. We build our economy, military and infrastructure. We build our navy and army. Straight roads are built throughout the empire. Many forts and castles are built. We begin to develop a gun, it will be ready to use in 43 years. We send diplomats to the Alaskan Republic and China. Any nation which except from France can join the Superpower League. We support the Turkish Caliphate in border troubles. '''We would like to buy firearms from China. We begin an invasion of Italy, taking north of Italy. We teach that anarchism isn't the way. We continue to expand 3300 pixels in Russia, 3400 pixels in Canada, the remaining part of West India including the ex-Sayfustan land, more inland in South Africa, Ivory Coast, Sierra Lona and Guinea.
 * Alaskan Republic: We expand economy and infrastructure. We still continue with the expansion of 50 px north which it's enough for us to claim. We rule out to claim Patagonia as it's not our place. We begin to recruit several more troops throughout this year and hope to reach by 250,000 troops in total. Population still grows in Anchorage and we plan to build some cargo ships and some battleships.
 * Kingdom of Israel: We expand our infrastructure. We now continue to extend into India, Russia and Brazil. We recruit more soldiers and we begin to suppress anarchist movements. We begin to start on a new project but the thing we are going to build is not yet confirmed.
 * Turkish Caliphate: We begin to improve our army and navy making it mandatory for men 17-35 to do seven years military service. We put all of troops on standby in case an invasion happen. We secretly begin to help Turkish Cypriot rebels sending them weapons, armor and training - and cannons. We begin to work on colonizing Cuba and Brazil, setting up trade posts in Cuba and Brazil and begin to convert the people to Islam with some tribes joining the religion. We begin to work on troublemakers by killing them with kindness building cities and helping them with problems that they have. We begin to work on on converting non-Muslim within our land to Islam with massive wins in the New World. Seeing a rise in Anarchism we begin to aim for the youth (1-17) brainwashing them to think that Anarchism is bad and to tell the police if they find any movements. Seeing a rise in tension we send two diplomats to Sayfustan and militarize our border with Sayfustan. 
 * Sayfustan: Seeing the tensions are rising more and more., we begin to militarize borders between us and Turkish caliphate. We also work on our standing army and weaponry. We accept the Turkish diplomats, and we ask to send some of ours and have a peace talk between us and them. We also send more colonists to spread across India, Russia, Bhutan, China, Sudan and Uganda. The government was successful in keeping the tension secret from the Sayfustani public, but our Parliament is right now voting to make it known. We still are working to make ties between us and Turkish Caliphate.
 * Chinese Dip: We advise Sayfustan to not expand in China or expect sanctions (we might even ally with the Turkish Caliphate).
 * Most Serene Republic of China: Seeing reports of anarchy we learn that most of the cases of anarchy either came from discrimination and despair of social class. We begin to educate the youth that Anarchism will get them nowhere in the future but despair and suffering. We suppress continuous anarchistic riots in the Honeland and our colonies. Work continues in the Anquan canal. With the recent election Chui-She Fuih is elected and is the new, the youngest and first female leader of The Most Serene Republic of China. Under the command of the new leader we recruit more men and women to the military to secure the nation's internal affairs. The Dragons, the country's best secret police force infiltrated the biggest anarchistic faction in the mainland, "The Evening Hunters" and killed their commander Yegu Khan. We construct trade ports in the Azores Islands to make trade easier with Europeans.

Tensions rise between the Turkish Caliphate and the Sayfustan Republic.

The world continues to be colonised.

China's canal will take 50 years to build.

Can Bozy update the map please?

Sayfustan: As the tensions rise between us and Turkish Caliphate, the Sayfustani government hides them only between themselves. Otherwise, we try keeping relationships well with them. We begin to spread into Arabia, reaching Yemen, Oman, UAE, and Kuwait, and we send colonists towards Pakistan, Bangladesh and India, and form alliances with tribes in the area. We also ask 'Turkish Caliphate ' for a purchase of half of 'South Sudan, '  and ask to purchase the the southern most tip of the Ethiopian Kingdom. We also ask the Kingdom of Israel to' ' purchase a small part of UAE. We also work on our economy.

Most Serene Republic of China: We stop expansion for fears of an abrupt collapse might happ en. We recruit more troops for the army a nd navy and we send researchers across Central Asia to the Kingdom of Israel to exhibit them our recent prototy pes of our firearms ( hand cannons). We start to improve our ec onomy and infrastructure. Work continues on the Anq uan Canal and is boost ed to be completed in 47-49 years with  he lp from Lithuania. Presidential debates across the country take place as we prepare for a new leader next year.  The current four candidates are: Jin Yingje from Guandong, Tennujin Amano from Japan, Chui-She Fuih from Jiangsu and Lee Zaedong of Manchuria. Recent official reports state that Chui-She Fuih and Tennujin Amano are currently winning. With the recent colonisation of new lands discrimination takes place between Orientals and Americans, conflict between the two races mostly happen in Cities with Americans and Orientals forming new gangs. With the recent concern of discrimination a philosopher named "Tsai Zengguang" released his new book "The anatomy of Discrimination" had breakthrough success inspiring much of the youth whom are mainly targeted by discrimination. In his recent speech in Anquan National University he said the famous words "we are like pigeons, they have different skin but they are pigeons. They all eat and they all fly."

Alaskan Republic: We continue to expand our colony named Alaskian Uruguay with 300 px north. After that, we assume that we will stop the expansion for worries of collapsing Alaskan Republic. Our troops normally still recruiting and join the military, while it's spread out to go from the colonized Uruguay. We continue to expand military and economy to get our nation better. Windmills and farms construction plans are in sight and could prove more electricity and foods. Anchorage city normally pushes its population to slowly grow. The population stands 250,000 after the city of Anchorage normally have built. We also worried and slightly warn Most Serene Republic of China that they don't make huge expansion so we can make more space for expansion, otherwise they'll lose their land of what it happened same to American Empire.

The Great Welsh Empire and her 49 provinces: We have conquered 2900 pixels of Russia, Finland, all of whats left of the former American Empire, half of West India and 3000 pixels of Canada. We make a new province: Province of Finland. ''' We continue to teach Welsh culture in our new European lands, Greenland, Iceland, the New World and Ireland. We build our military presence in Normandy. We build our naval presence in the North Sea, Atlantic Ocean and the South Welsh Channel (OTL English Channel). Second languages remain prominent throughout the empire. We continue to trade and help the Mayan and Lithuania empires. We help China with their canal. We build our economy, military and infrastructure. We build our navy and army. Straight roads are built throughout the empire. Many forts and castles are built. We begin to develop a gun, it will be ready to use in 44 years. We send diplomats to the Alaskan Republic and China. Any nation which except from France can join the Superpower League.

We also ask the Kingdom of Israel to' ' purchase a small part of UAE. We also work on our economy.

Mayan Empire: Having the aid of the Welsh Empire the Mayan Empire doesn't focus as much in military, instead developing cities and b uilding monuments to their gods. They also get a g ood harvest from agriculture, and decide to gain power by se lling crops.

Chinese Dip to Mayan Empire: We of fer a trade ag reement and a possible alliance.

Most Serene Repub lic of China: Work continues on the Anquan Channel an d we ex p and to the  rest of the clai med lands i n t he New Worl d, Chile and Honduras.

'''We send diplomats to Lithuania to achieve an agreement for Vietnam. The agreement states that we will sell Northern Indochina (Modern Day Laos and Northern Vietnam) to Lithuania, but they have to pay us a loan of ¥ 2,000,000'''. We grant all of our citizens (including natives) in our mainland and in our colonies equal rights and freedom of speech. With the new freedom of speech we form the Dragons, a team of special and elite secret intelligence operatives that will work to infiltrate corrupt officials and those whom threaten the country.

Polish-Lithuanian Dip: We do not accept. We choose to remain friendly with the natives. We hope this doesn't harm our relations, but we do offer to help you in the construction of the Aquan Channel (for free).

Our troops begin to recruit and look to spread out to go to colonization that we colonized but just half of them not many. We continue to construct more defensive buildings that might keep us in a good survival. The cannons are constructed as we start to build more oil rigs in Gulf of Alaska and Bering Sea. We still plan to go for expansion and aim to take the eastern Russia, the expansion will not be so big - but to say around 50 px only.
 * Kingdom of Israel:  We improve our military and infrastructure and make reforms in our military and technology.  We continue to expand our colonial empire into Central America, Puerto Rico, Chile, Brazil, Sumatra Island, Southern India India and the Bahamas converting the natives to Judaism and we grant these newly-acquired lands autonomy adding Central America to Israeli Mexico and Chile to Israeli Peru and our Brazil to to Israel Venezuela (for now) and Sumatra and Southern India to Israeli India. We continue to expand our mainland into Arabia, Northern India, Western Iran, Pakistan, Afghanistan and Yemen converting the natives to Judaism and trading with them.  We ask China to teach us their new technology and weapons that we may acquire hand-cannons (firearms).
 *  (to Sayfustan) As we said earlier,  We will give all of the the modern-day UAE if you give us Mandatory Palestine (including the rest of Jerusalem, excluding Jordan). We'll allow you to keep control of Western Temple Mount (that includes Al-Aqsa mosque and Dome of the Rock) and Harat al-Muslimin (the Muslim Quarter) of Old Jerusalem and your ports and military bases in the land.  We also advise you  there are  Jewish minorities living in your borders of Palestine  and possibly, not for sure, some rebels. - Emmanual ben Tsadiqyahu

Meanwhile, we start trade ports in Costa Rica in hopes of creating our own version of the Sahara's idea in case of a failure to redirect their troops from Panama. Knowing Wales's executions of foreign diplomats, our King sends the Welsh King a letter to divide Newfoundland between the nations at the 47th parallel, with Wales getting the north side and Greece getting the south side.

 * (To Israel) Dear leader name here
 * We kindly ask for you to stop your blockade of my colonist to Pakistan and Arabia and should begin to work with each other at making peace with each other. I have tried to make peace by ending to build a wall around your Kingdom and in return you put a blockade on me, i think you should reconsider your idea. I kindly ask for a feast in the city of Cairo as a sigh of peace. We also ask you to watch yourself due to vast amount of Muslim within their land.

 * (To Hellenist Kingdom) Dear Leader Name

 * Caliph Selman Sayyid Sabahatti
 * To Caliph Selman Sayyid Sabahattin
 * Admittedly both me and the Saharan Kingdom have been in fear of each other since the war between Sayfustan and Israel, creating a kind of Cold War. We will withdraw our warships from the Sahara if possible and we will colonize Costa Rica if possible in order to create an economic advantage for all of the western Afro-Eurasian nations. If relations between our nations improve, which I hope they do, I will tear down the border wall enabling travel between our nations. Seeing your tendency for peace we will withdraw all of our troops from the two borders of our nations in hopes of creating the golden age of Greco-Turkish relations. We hope to scratch the two "pacts" soon, in order to create a collective Mediterranean Union, with hopes of you, Sayfustan, Sahara, Israel, Carthage, France, and Italy joining it. I will attend the feast and Cairo and will invite Sahara's monarch Tertullian I to the feast.

More siege weapons are constructed, and engineers are put to good use. Myths of a "dragon land" reach ears of the French court by way of trade, and the French crown decides it is high time to investigate the end of the silk road, in an attempt to try to replicate silk for themselves, and increase economic boon.

We establish minor outposts in the Gulf of Guinea in hopes of simplifying the journey across the Cape of Good Horn, in order to reach Kagaminia and Sayfustani Africa. Noticing the colonization done by other powers such as Wales and Carthage, we establish a colony in Crimea. We place sanctions on Turkey, as we would like to see Cyprus under either Jewish or Greek control.
 * Why are you randomly putting sanctions on me? I am secretly helping them.
 * I'm sure someone would notice the Turkish Cypriot rebels at some point within that year, especially with them being armed.
 * Saharan Kingdom: We withdraw our troops from Sayfustan and Israel. We also start a colony in the southern areas of modern-day Nigeria and Cameroon, specializing in the creation of strong boat technology with regular imports of wood heading there.

We encourage our troops in the Middle East to leave, but allowing them to stay if they really want to. Minor rebellions occur in Kosovo and southern Albania though they are mostly quenched easily. We also begin to teach the Greek language to the ethnic Arabs and Berbers residing in the Hellenistic African colony, and encourage expansion if we can expand without war, but instead assimilating the natives into our culture. We also divide the country into provinces:
 * Macedonia- All of Greek Macedonia
 * Peloponnese- The Peloponnese peninsula
 * Aegyptus- Greek Egypt
 * Berberia- Greek Libya
 * Crete- Crete
 * Epirus- Northern Greece and southern Albania
 * Kosovo- Greek Kosovo
 * Saharan Kingdom: We accept the alliance with Sayfustan, and send some weapons technology there. Our monarch Tertullian I attempts to delve Saharan involvement in the war further; hoping to "raise the flag of Islam in the Jewish territories". We place great sanctions on Israel, only lifting them once the war ends or Israel agrees to withdraw from the nation. We also make minor advancements in eastern Mauritania and the Tuareg lands. We send troops to the cities in which Israel has attacked in hopes of putting up a resistance, hoping to make Israel flee. Continued trade occurs with Kagaminia though the river route is very troublesome; the Kingdom might have to withdraw and take the hazardous journey around the Cape of Good Hope.
 * Kingdom of Israel: We agree to the Hellenistic Kingdom's idea of a land trade and we cease fire for the moment but without exiting attacked cities in case an attack from the Saharan Kingdom and we hope to make a peace agreement, we will give our northern province, bordered by the Turkish Caliphate to the south and tby Sayfustan to the east, money & gold, and weapons in exchange for the region of Palestine/Holy Land and we will help to rebuild the damage we have made with this war and we could possibly make a trade agreement. Jews and Muslims throughout the kingdom promote this idea for unity in the Middle East as we have a common background in culture and religion and Some Hellenists and Turkish Cypriot rebels rise up in Cyrus but they are easily extinguished. We continue teaching the Hebrew language to Cypriots in Cyprus and because of trade with the Hellenistic Kingdom, Cyprus as begin to become a major trade center in Israel. We also continue to expand in East Africa but cease expansion in south-eastern Arabic as our northern province may be possibly be given away to Sayfustan.
 * Sayfustan: We agree to sell Half of Jerusalem, selling Kingdom of Israel the half without Al-Aqsa mosque. We will sell it to them more than the average price expected, which will be used to upgrade our economy. We will also upgrade our military technology
 * Israel Diplomat: Okay, we will begin to relocate troops out of Sayfustan territory in the next year (turn) and we will pay the price for the half of Jerusalem. I have one question, what is the price you ask for?
 * Turkish Caliphate: We begin to improve our army and navy making it mandatory for men 17-35 to do seven years military service and begin to egin to work on Istanbul working on creating three big walls with moats behind each wall after taking it seven years ago. We put all of troops on standby in case an invasion happen. We begin to expand our empire moving into the Middle East. entering Iraq, Arabia, Syria, Jordan, Egypt, and Eastern Anatolia allying with most tribes but also fighting some. We begin to militarize our border with the Kingdom of Israel. We secretly begin to help Turkish Cypriot rebels sending them weapons, armor and training.
 * The Great Welsh Empire and her nine provinces: The Great Welsh Empire creates two more provinces: Talaith y Dans (Province of the Dans) and Talaith Norwy (Province of Norway). We continue the colonisation of Norway and Denmark. We have conquered most of Denmark by now and a bit of coastal Norway, it is hard to conquer Norway due to mountains. We build our naval presence in the North Sea. We begin colonisation of Holland and Belgium, conquering the coastal areas. This area does have a border to France so we put more military presence there. We build our navy and army. We build our military, infrastructure and economy. We build roads across the British isle. We put more military in Normandy. We continue to teach Welsh culture in Ireland and our lands in the North Sea. We continue to trade with the Carthage Republic. We kill any other diplomats that come from any other country. We would like a non-aggression pact with France.

Year 4

 * Hellenistic Kingdom: We accept the alliance with Kagaminia, but find trading with them hard as Greek traders must either travel through the somewhat dangerous Sinai (due to the warfare between Jewish and Muslim armies). We also try to create a neutral stance in the war, trying to keep the peace in the Middle East. We also begin researching Israeli weapons such as hand cannons and landmines in hopes of creating a stronger military. The king tries to remove any form of laws with religious bias in hopes of creating a state friendly to all people.
 * As i told Israel before the Europeans and Arabs (first Mamluks) obtained firearms in the 14th century.
 * Sayfustan: As Jerusalem is under siege and the hostility received from Kingdom of Israel and Republic of Carthage, tensions rise in our capital, Makkah, and Medina. Protests begin in our city to attack, so we take an advantage and settle down the crowds and spread propaganda to join the army, thus causing large entry numbers in our army. We also work on our weaponry and stronger walls and ask help from Turkish Caliphate and Kingdom of Sahara.
 * American Empire: Economy, infrastructure and military improve. Population continues to grow fast. Fewer churches, harbors, militaristic buildings and more houses, cultural and public buildings, markets, shops and mining plants are built. Continues to plan new reforms and continues investing heavily in technology and science. Roads and farms are improved and cities continue to grow. Building of a Gothic-style large cathedral in the capital city Washington continues. Expends 1000 px south and 1000 west, totaling 2000 px. Continues reaching on cannons, which will replace catapults and trebuchets as main siege units.
 * Kingdom of Israel: As we continue our siege for  the lands of Palestine, in between our to territories and enclose in, aiming for the cities of Jerusalem, Bethlehem, Hebron, Nazareth, Ashdod, and Beersheba, from our West Sinai province and our Northern Eastern province. We gratefully use the funds of our ally, to further our military technology we create trebuchet catapults and rockets begin to breech the walls and forts in the city and in the few openings we make, we send in troops and cavalry armed swordsmen and crossbow archers on horses and we start on to take the city with high morale because knowing soon in time, we'll get our lands back. We spend propaganda across the nations, promoting men to join the army, which causes our army to increase significantly. We send dozens of rockets and trebuchets to Bethlehem, Hebron, Nazareth, Ashdod, and Beersheba to destroy the cities and send in swordsmen, cavalry and crossbow archers. archers in and we continue to take these cities. Also we send fleets from Cyprus and the coast of Sinai to destroy any enemy boats and we drop off some soldiers in Palestinian region. We build fortifications on our our Northern and Sinai province and put troops, rockets, and archers to keep guard. We also continue to progressively expand in south-eastern Arabia and in the East African coast below Sinai. As tensions between Jewish and Muslim groups in Israel rise, mainly because the government is Jewish while Muslims outnumber the Jews, protests rise in some cities and we have begin to settle down the rallies and Muslims are begin slowly sent off to nearby Muslim communities or countries. In response to Caliph Selam Sayyid Sabahattin's letter, Israel's king, King Emmanuel ben Tsediqyahu has sent a letter back to the Caliph of the Turkish Caliphate.


 * Dear Caliph Selman Sayyid Sabahattin of the Great Turkish Caliphate,


 * On the contrary to what you have said, we would rather see the Holy Land under Jewish rule than any other, as Moses was made to lead the Children of Israel to the Promised Land. But if Sayfustan allows us a significant portion of Palestine including Jerusalem, capital of ancient Kingdom of Israel made by King David who the united monarchy was established by, not a minuscule allotment, we will call off the war and pay for the damage we caused by the war but until then, we will fight for the lands.


 * Kingdom of Kagaminia: We ask for alliance with Franco-Navarran Crown. We will not attack anyone because of our peaceful nation except if someone attacks us first. We seek the land near the bottom south of Africa but will wait until it is really needed. We are build boats to sail to the near Island of Asia.
 * King Emmanuel ben Tsediqyahu of Israel.

Year 3
Talaith Iwerddon (Province of England) Capital: London. Second language: English
 * Franco-Navarran Crown: King Philip the Younger dies without issue, leaving his brother, Clovis V & I to take the joint thrones of France and Navarre. His first royal edict is to establish a semi-professional force of crossbowmen. Using funds borrowed from Jewish merchants, and from trade, Clovis raises the first retinue of crossbowmen in the realm, with the plan of having 10,000 constant Crossbowmen in the Gendarmerie Royale, which will also include up to 1000 cavalry and 4000 infantry. The Edict also orders the Dukes of the realm to hold at least 1000 Crossbowmen, 100 cavalry and 400 infantry as a semi-professional rotating fighting force, and each Count to hold 100, ten, and 40 respectively by year 15 ATP (Ascension Throne Philip). In order to pay for the new Gendarmerie Royale, Philip institutes a small tax of 5% on non-peer landowners (in order to avoid war with Wales for the time being). However, being Duke of Normandy, the Welsh King is given a summons to swear fealty to Clovis V & I as Duke of Normandy and take part in the official coronation as a peer of the realm. IN order to prepare his 20 year old son, Charles, now Dauphin, to be the next King, Clovis sends him as an ambassador to discuss trade with Israel, after which they come to an agreement and some tariffs are mutually lowered for merchants bearing the seals of France, Navarre or Israel.
 * Hellenistic Kingdom: We assure to the Middle Eastern nations that we don't want any involvement in the war besides the Christian and Jewish volunteers who were sent off to the nation in order to fight for Israel. Meanwhile, we allow volunteer troops in the nation's Islamic minority to go off to Turkey and Sayfustan in hopes of relieving the tensions between them and the nations. We also colonize Malta and begins teaching the Maltese and Berber civilians from our colonies the Greek language in order to further assimilate them with the culture. We encourage the Saharan Kingdom to lift the sanctions and to continue regular trade. The King states that he wants to stay out of the conflicts in Israel for the most part; only sending troops who want to go to the area there. He refuses to send any of our non-volunteer troops to the Middle East.
 * The Great Welsh Empire and her seven provinces: The Great Welsh Empire is divided into seven provinces, which have got their own capital (where the province leader lives) and their second language. The province leader is responsible for their province but has to obey orders from the king. All of the province leaders are all the 2nd most important in the Welsh Empire but the king remains the 1st. The Severn provinces are:

In other news we have conquered Ireland and have made it a province. We build our navy. '''We know turn our attention to the North Sea, sailing across it. We discover what we call Denmark and Norway. We begin colonisation of the lands, capturing the Coast. '''We continue to trade with the Carthage Republic. We build our army. We build many forts in Ireland, so it would be hard for them to rebel. We begin building a huge port and fort in Newport in the South Welsh Islands. This means that is hard for enemies to conquer their lands. We build our military presences in Normandy. We teach Ireland Welsh and Welsh culture.


 * American Empire: Economy, infrastructure and military improve. Population continues to grow fast. Fewer churches, harbors, militaristic buildings and more houses, cultural and public buildings, markets, shops and mining plants are built. Continues to plan new reforms and continues investing heavily in technology and science. Roads and farms are improved and cities continue to grow. Castles and walls are built in largest cities to make the city more defensive. Begins building a cathedral in the capital city Washington. Expends 500 px south and 500 west, totaling 1000 px. Begins reaching on cannons, which will replace catapults and trebuchets as main siege units.


 * Saharan Kingdom: We accept the Hellenic diplomats and lift the sanctions, although a general attitude of distrust is shown towards the nation in the kingdom. We also try to find a trade route to Kagaminia. Saharan sailors travel across the Mediterranean and to the Nile and White Nile, and to Lake Victoria where explorers establish Saharan-owned outposts in modern-day Uganda and Tanzania. We also discover modern-day Cape Verde and create colonies there.
 * Kingdom of Israel: As we continue our siege for only the lands of Palestine, in between our to territories and enclose in, aiming for the cities of Jerusalem, Bethlehem, Hebron, Nazareth, Ashdod, and Beersheba, from our West Sinai province and our Northern Eastern province. We gratefully use the funds of our ally, to further our military technology we create trebuchet catapults and larger cannons and we send 55 trebuchets and 15 cannons up to the lands of Jerusalem and begin to breech the walls and forts in the city and in the few openings we make, we send in troops and cavalry armed with hand-cannons and crossbow archers on horses and we start on to take the city with high morale because knowing soon in time, we'll get our lands back. We send a few cannons and trebuchets to Bethlehem, Hebron, Nazareth, Ashdod, and Beersheba to destroy the cities and send in armed soldiers, cavalry and archers in and we continue to take these cities. Also we send fleets from Cyprus and the coast of Sinai to destroy any enemy boats and we drop off some soldiers in Palestinian region. We build fortifications on our our Northern and Sinai province and put troops, cannons, and archers to keep guard. We send diplomats and offer trade agreements to the Great Welsh Kingdom and the Franco-Navarran Crown to improve relations and some the Turkish Caliphate saying, we have no interest in your lands. We also continue to progressively expand in south-eastern Arabia and in the East African coast below Sinai.
 * Kingdom of Kagaminia: We send a boat and some sailors to the Saharan Kingdom. We also request for an alliance with the Hellenistic Kingdom: We also improve infrastructure and military in case of a sudden attack.
 * Turkish Caliphate: We begin to improve our army and navy making it mandatory for men 17-35 to do seven years military service and begin to work on Istanbul working on creating three big walls with moats behind each wall after taking it seven years ago. We put all of troops on standby in case an invasion happen.

We tell the Kingdom of Israel in a form of a letter to stop attacking the Holy Land. We begin to militarize our border with the Kingdom of Israel.


 * Dear leader of Kingdom of Israel:
 * It has come to my attention that you have your eyes on the Holy Lands. We kindly ask you to stop aiming for the Holy Land in fear of destroying Arab, Muslim and Jewish friendship. We also know that you're only aiming for the Holy Lands and not Turkish land, but we would rather like to see the Holy Land under Muslim rule than any other. We would also like to point out that Israel has a small Jewish minority and a huge Muslim majority.
 * Caliph Selman Seyyid Sabahattin

Year 2

 * Hellenistic Kingdom: We send diplomats to Cyprus in order to see what the population thinks of joining the country; some Hellenist separatists are found but overall the results are somewhat inconclusive. The Kingdom requests an alliance with Israel, but only if they can build port cities on the Cypriot coast. Some volunteer troops are sent to the Palestinian region as a majority of the mostly Christian kingdom would like to see the Jewish people regain the lands of ancient Israel. We send diplomats to Sayfustan in order to assure to them that we don't want to destroy the nation nor do we want to cut off ties with them; we simply sent some troops to Israel who were perfectly willing and wanted to go there.
 * Kingdom of Israel: We accept the Hellenistic Kingdom's offer of an alliance and we start to build port cities on the Cypriot coast. We press volunteer military service of men 20 and upward and we have recruited 1500 more men to serve in the military and improve our military technology. We start to fortify the lands of Sinai and our northern territory and set landmines near our walls. We start to send 40,000 troops armed with hand cannons into the Palestinian region to help the HK's volunteer soldiers to take over the lands of ancient Israel. We send in rockets and set up landmines and we declare Holy War on Islamic Republic of Sayfustan to take back the Holy Lands of Israel. Also we start expanding north from our northern territory into south-eastern Arabia.
 * I am 100 percent sure this is the era of swords and bows - not guns. Bozistan ball.
 * Yeah, the tech starts at a 13th century level, rockets and landmines definitely won't exist this early in the game.
 * Rockets were invented in China in the 12th century, 1100 AD by the use of gunpowder and hand cannons were used in Yuan Dynasty in the 13th century and landmines were used in the Song Dynasty in 1277, it was an enormous bomb used to kill Mongol soldiers, are those weapons still not allowed?
 * The Europeans and Arabs (first Mamluks) obtained firearms in the 14th century.
 * Can/Do I edit my turn since I used invalid weapons?
 * Yeah, and I guess you could still use rockets and cannons because China did.
 * Republic of Carthage: We continue to rapidly improve our infrastructure within the city of Carthage, aiming to make it one of the greatest cities in the world. We accept the Welsh Kingdom's offer to trade with us, and we offer to trade with the Saharan Kingdom. In response to Israel's war with Sayfustan, we economically support their war by significantly increasing trade with the kingdom. We send colonists to OTL Sardinia in order to found the settlement of Lavisis, named after our current Grand Consul. Lavisis is initially made into a trade port in order to increase trade in the Mediterranean, but after a few months it becomes a successful village.
 * Kingdom of Kagaminia: We start to improve our infrastructure, especially in our capital and we have begun to establish a trade port on our Malagasy coast. We offer a trade agreement with the Republic of Carthage and the Saharan Kingdom. We also improve our military technology and we recruit more soldiers. We asks for an alliance with the Republic of Carthage and the Kingdom of Israel and we send diplomats to the Welsh Kingdom, Turkish Caliphate, and the Islamic Republic of Sayfustand to improve our relations.
 * Turkish Caliphate Dip: We greet your diplomats giving them a huge feast with our Caliph Selman Seyyid Sabahattin and would like an alliance with Kingdom of Kagaminia.
 * Kingdom of Kagaminia Dip: We accept Turkish Caliphate's request for alliance.
 * Carthaginian Diplomacy: We agree to the offer of trade and the alliance.
 * Saharan Dip: We accept the alliances with Kagaminia and Carthage.
 * Israelite Dip: Our response to your request of alliance is pending due to the fact you are now allied to the Turkish Caliphate and the Turkish Caliphate is allied to my enemy in my current war but we can accept a trade agreement ...
 * Saharan Kingdom: In response to the Hellenic Kingdom and Israel's actions, some volunteers are sent to Israel and Sayfustan to fight on both sides. Most of the population generally support Sayfustan due to the prevalence of Islam in the region; and minor sanctions are placed on the HK. The Saharan Kingdom tells the Hellenistic Kingdom to withdraw their volunteers from Israel or they would send a greater amount of soldiers, including ones that didn't necessarily volunteer, to the region in order to counteract the Israeli and Greek operations in the region. The Kingdom also requests an alliance with Sayfustan. Meanwhile, massive construction starts on the capital city of Rabat in hopes to further industrialize the nation and become a power in the African and Mediterranean worlds.
 * Turkish Caliphate: We would like an alliance with Saharan Kingdom and send 10,000 troops out of 50,000 and100 cannons to fight with the Sayfustan.

We put all of troops on standby in case an invasion happen. We begin to expand our empire moving into the Middle East entering Iraq, Arabia, Syria, Jordan, Egypt, part of Persia, and Eastern Anatolia allying with most tribes but also fighting some.
 * Saharan Dip: We accept the alliance and situate some troops on the Israeli-Turkish borders in order to help defend against attacks.
 * Sayfustan: We accept the alliance with Saharan Kingdom, and we accept the diplomats of the Hellenistic Kingdom. We begin to work on walls armed with cannons and few rockets surrounding the city limits of Makka, Medina and Jerusalem. We work on our military as well, with a goal to reach 100,000 soldiers by ten years. We also will not attack anyone except if necessary. We begin to spread propaganda about joining the Sayfustani military in case of any attack.

Year 1

 * The Hellenistic Kingdom expands their Cyrenaican colony slightly southward and westward in hopes of gaining an advantage over the Mediterranean trade route. The Kingdom also requests an alliance with Carthage hoping to create an axis in the sea. Some rebellions and riots do occur in Cyrenaica in hopes of creating an independent state. However, the kingdom is able to quell these riots easily. King Gemistus states, later in the year, that he doesn't want to make a large Hellenistic Empire; instead he simply wants the kingdom to survive.
 * Republic of Carthage: We begin to significantly improve our infrastructure, aiming to make the city of Carthage one of the greatest cities in the world. We agree to the alliance with the Hellenistic Kingdom and we offer an alliance to Israel. A general election is held this year, and Populist candidate Mago Lavis is elected the new Grand Consul of Carthage.
 * Kingdom of Israel: We agree to an alliance with the Republic of Carthage. We begin to improve our infrastructure and military, aiming to build up the temporary capital in Sinai and we are preparing for an invasion in Islamic Republic of Sayfustan just to gain and unite the rest of the lands of ancient Israel such as Jerusalem, where our capital will be moved, Bethlehem, Hebron, Jericho and Nazareth. We have no interest in becoming a massive empire or completely removing Sayfustan from the map. Rumors in the Cyprus colony that Greek Cypriot and Hellenists are thinking of joining the Hellenistic Kingdom but nothing has been confirmed.
 * Turkish Caliphate Dip: We tell the Kingdom of Israel to stop preparing for an invasion in Islamic Republic of Sayfustan and the Holy Lands.
 * Islamic Republic of Sayfustan: Fearing an attack from Kingdom of Israel, We begin to work on a wall blocking us from them. We also work on our weapon technology and our army. We ask Turkish Caliphate for an alliance.
 * Turkish Caliphate: We agree with the Sayfustan alliance. We begin to improve our army and navy making it mandatory for men 17-35 to do seven years military service and begin to horseback riding, and training troops on shooting bows while riding horses. We begin to work on Istanbul working on creating three big walls with moats behind each wall after taking it five years ago. We put all of troops on standby in case an invasion happen. We begin to expand our empire moving into the Middle East entering Syria, Jordan, Egypt, and Eastern Anatolia allying with most tribes but also fighting some.
 * The Great Welsh Empire: Golden Dragon of Wales Flag.gif We begin an expansion into Ireland, hoping to conquer it by Year 3. We land in three major places: Southern Ireland from Wales, Dublin from the Isle of Mann and Northern Ireland from Scotland. We continue to have a strong presence in Normandy. We continue to teach the natives Welsh. Most people throughout the empire speak good Welsh as a first language, and maybe the native ones where they live. We begin to reach contact with a Carthage Republic. We would like a trade agreement with them if possible. We build houses. We build straight roads throughout the empire. We build our military and our infrastructure. We build our armies and navy.
