Emancipation (Map Game)





In the year 1861, Tsar Alexander II of Russia issued the Manifest ob Otmene Krepostnogo Prava of 1861. The Emancipation Manifesto, as it came to be known, proclaimed the freedom of all Russian peasants from serfdom and virtual slavery to their aristocratic masters. Halfway across the world, the opposite transpired when seven American states seceded and thereafter united to form the Confederate States of America — a federation committed to the protection of slavery — sparking the American Civil War just two months later.

You now sit at the helm of one of the world's numerous nation-states or colonies, and it is up to you to decide the fate of your country. How will you face the impending slave crisis? How will you deal with freedom of the peasantry? How will you respond to the great Emancipation?

1880
Anti-Japanese protest dies almost immediately in Korea as Japan initiates its search for the criminals who dared to try to kill the Emperor.

Patagonia explodes into civil war as the newborn Republic of Araucanía proves itself to be a fierce guerrilla fighting force; combined with popular support, Araucanía presents a grave threat to the stability of the Patagonian regime.

'''With the conclusion of the northern front of the Second North American War, far more troops than ever are sent to defend the United States' southern regions. There is potential that the far more industrialised United States could make a comeback in the future after its numerous devastating defeats at the hands of Texas and the Confederacy.'''

'''Revenge is most properly served, it seems, as Union agents have successfully assassinated the Confederate President during a speech, despite being under heavy guard. A Union General, Andrew McCay, claims full responsibility for organising the assassination, announcing that the United States has played the submissive game for long enough.'''


 * Westralia: Our government issues a public declaration formally denouncing the instituted slavery in the Confederate States and in Texas. We applaud Canada's decision to withdraw from the war against the United States. Meanwhile, our goldfield irrigation pipelines are completed, as are the southern half of the national railway network, and the state-run Westralian Railway Company (trading as WestRail or WR) opens for business, with five locomotive engines beginning services to and from Perth, with destinations in Stirling, Swan, western Auralia and southern Gascoyne. With the famine averted, we lift more ration restrictions, though not completely, preferring a gradual transition back to normal life. In February, the Congressional Elections are held. The DLP has won more seats, achieving victory in 68 districts, six more than in the last election, and it has won 32 seats in the Senate. The NUP won in 31 districts, and the remaining 18 in the Senate. Thus, a duopoly of the legislature has occurred, with the smaller parties largely being eliminated from Congress, with only the Socialist Party winning one seat in the National Assembly. The DLP has incumbent Prime Minister Harold Symons stand for re-election, while the NUP has nominated Julian Merlin for Prime Minister. The elections are to be held in July.


 * Hawai'i: Our military and infrastructure improve. Modernization of our cities continues, and our settlements grow. We begin to decipher and interpret our new plans, with steamboat structures (though not the steam engine itself) and frigates likely to be constructed first in the following years. Prince Kamehameha VI, known among his friends; classmates; and teachers as simply James, turns 14 in his first birthday at Hale School and Westralia. Construction of Honolulu University continues, and more schools are built in all of our provinces. We begin to construct pearl and fishing industries in the Tuamotus, seeing as the area is not all too fit for agriculture; we note the tourism potential in the archipelago.
 * Hawaiian diplomacy: We ask for France's consent to increase security at the border with their Tahiti colony, our plan including better border protection (more guards, perhaps a stone wall around the perimeter with gates in and out) to prevent illegal immigration between the colony and 'Alihikaua.
 * Emirate of Afghanistan: The nation begins to work on industries. The country begins looking for any nations that are going to help them. Farmers are encouraged to grow wheat but most of them grow opium and sell it to neighboring countries. Roads are built but most are dirt roads. We would like to open talks with the Indian Empire. The idea of national unity begins to rise in cities, as the national army begins to work on arming with whatever weapons they have. People are encouraged to join the army and people under 15 must have parent's permission to join. Some opium fields are burned for wheat or cattle to feed the army and people.With the new help from S. Germany we begin to let them into Afghanistan, With the 1 million USD from S.Germany more roads are made and more cities begin to become more Urbanize with more schools and jobs being open. Farmers begin to get paid more for growing food then growing opium. Mines are open that open up more jobs for Afghans The army is now put at standby and some troops are sent to the Indian border. Plans are made to fight back a Indian attack. A military draft is made and men from 16 - 35 join the army and 10,000 troops are sent to the Indian border.60,000 troops are sent to the border along with heavy weaponry from S.Germany,we send 2,000 troops to our indian border and set up a series of bunkers,mine fields, and foxholes. 
 * Afghan dip: We would like if muslims areas can vote to join Afghanistan or stay with India here are the regions
 * Ansar Al Deen: (Afghani spies) The group of spies are sent to India to rally up Muslims in an idea of Muslim Unity with Afghanistan. The group is allowed to set up camps in Afghanistan and train anyone who wants to join. The group mostly works in poor areas telling young people about the Munguals and how they can recreate them and bring pride to Muslims in India once again. The group begins to work on recruiting members in India. A plan is made that will cause the map of India to change.
 * Jamaat-e-Islami: (Afghani-backed and created political party) Protests are held in Peshawar, Islamabad, Karachi, Hyderabad, and Kandahar calling to join Afghanistan. The group begins to work on aiming at kids showing them that they're here to stay and help. Schools are opened up for children and self defense classes are held for adults (male and female). The group begins to work setting up in Bangladesh. The group works on recruiting more members in India that are more easy due to India's action. sit in are made in Hyderbad and Islambad, where protesters work on making defenses by using trash and making Molotov cocktails with some members carrying swords as the number of members rise.Orders are made to not attack Hindus, But some members begin to burn down Hindu temples. After the burning of Temples people are put on edge leading to rumors of mosques being burned or attacked, due to this mobs roam cities looking for "intruders"
 * Hezbi Islami: (Afghani-backed/made Jihadist group) The group is made in India, but most are trained and armed in Afghan camps. The group is ordered to attack military targets (mostly convoys and lonely FOBs). The group recruits hardcore members of Ansar Al Deen and Jammat e Islami. Rocket attacks are made on Indian FOBs in Muslim majority areas. The group begin to target highways,railroads,and brigeds . A plane plan is made to take major cities.
 * Korea OOC: There are no planes yet?
 * MOD: I think it was a typo, and that the correct word is "plan." Also, Afghanistan, do not duplicate previous turns. It says specifically in the rules that duplication is prohibited. First strike. ~Tim
 * MOD? WHY IS THIS WHOLE THING NOT STRIKED. SO IMPLAUSIBLE 


 * Great Korean Empire: Emperor Gojong experiences full physical and emotional [he had been traumatised for a few months succeeding the incident] recovery. Korea tightens immigration policies with its neighbouring countries to prevent the outflow of dissenters and criminals. Asides from the incident, Korea is peaceful and devotes most of its capital to modernisation. Korean industrial complexes continue to be developed, with the industrial output experiencing exponential growth. Alongside this is the construction of paved roads, railway, canals, factories, schools, libraries, and residential buildings. Westernisation under the "Western bowl, Eastern rice" policy continues as Western attire and architecture become more and more common but core Confucian values remain preserved.
 * Andorra: We start to make a plan for reform the andorrean society, that plan includes the industrulization of the capital, the decrease of the army, the construction of train-rails, the criation of banks and social security posts and many other things, the plan will be called Andorra 1880 - 1900, a project for turning Andorra a good country in 20 years. We ask an alliance with Greece.
 * Bora Bora: We increase modernization efforts. We ask to import iron and coal in exchange for large amounts tropical fruit, pearls, and fish from Japan, The USA, and South German, in order to build up a stock pile. (Mod Response Required). We ask Hawaii to join our two modernization programs in order to increase research speed. We also offer access to rifle plans. We also offer to restart the trade agreement with Siam to last for five years instead of 6 months.


 * Prussian CSR: We continue to enlist more recruits for the Red Army. With the Commitee gone, we can now focus on crushing the 'arrogant' South once and for all. SECRET: In the wake of an uprising in Bavaria, we covertly support left-leaning dissidents there. Also plans to invade Saxony, whose pro-South separatist movement is a big threat to the regime.


 * STR We are shocked at the recent assassination of the CSA president by the hands of Union troops. We begin recruitment of 50,000 troops to add on to the current 40,000 (10,000 are occupying states, the rest are deployed in Texan cities.) We begin industrialization of Austin, Dallas, Houston, Phoenix, and San Antonio. The 25 ships we completed are now being sent to current day Togo with 15,000 colonists, and 5,000 troops. The railroad from Houston to Phoenix is still being built. We begin construction of forts and trenches outside of major Texan cities in preparation for a possible U.S invasion. Our 5,000 troops coming from Utah have arrived to Colorado. We start publishing anti-Union propaganda. The slave trade increases by 2%
