Principia Moderni (Map Game)

Principia Moderni, or "The Beginning of the Modern" in Late Latin, is a map game beginning in the final days of the Middle Ages in Europe, and the early days of the Ming Dynasty in China--1420 C. E...The House of Hohenzollern have become the Electorates of Brandenburg--though most of the power in the Holy Roman Empire still lies with the Habsburgs, Joan of Arc has defeated the English at Orleans, the city of Tenochtitlan is founded by the Aztecs, the Timurid Empire has united Central and West Asia, and the Yongle Emperor sends out Zheng He to voyage westwards. It is a turbulent era; in other words, an era of change; an era in which power is cemented.

1995
''' The Greater German Federation officially collapses. The three German states of Hanover, Saxony and Bavaria unite to found the German Empire, and crown Hanover's King William I as the first German Kaiser. Austria approaches Hungary on the annexation of their country. '''

'''A: Why would it breakup? And B: Why would it want to join Hungary? It's not German or anything.'''

'''A: Because he's gone over the 5-day limit. B: It's supposed to be an ironic reversal of the Austria-Hungary situation.'''

'''That's something I never understood. A nation goes inactive suddenly and it has to breakup? Whatever happened to isolationism?'''

''' The Spanish Collectivist nations unite to found the People's Republic of Spain. The capital of Aragon, Zaragoza, is chosen as the capital of Spain. This is because the Aragonese have overtaken Castille as the most powerful Spanish collectivist country. '''


 * The Vietnamese continue expanding their industry throughout their country. Kenians expands their industry throughout their country. Zanzibar expands their industry throughout their country.
 * The Neolithuanians continue expanding their industry throughout their country.
 * Taiwanese continue to expand their industry throughout their country. They expand the New Taihoku colony by 238*50 sq km.
 * The Myanma continue to expand their industry throughout their country.
 * The British continue expanding their industry throughout their country.
 * The Tangierans continue expanding their industry throughout their country.
 * Scandinavia builds up industry and economy. It refuses to accept the dissolution of the GGF and does not acknowledge the German Empire. Meanwhile it urges Austria not to join Hungary and instead proposes that it becomes a member of the European Federation (Wales, Scandinavia, Russia).
 * The Brythonic Commonwealth reduces military spending and increases spending to cover a new government supported satellite T.V company called Sky Network. Orange releases the Vulcan I processor to compete with the Pentium processor.

New trade avenues are opened to the Kingdom of France. The Brythonic Commonwealth levys sanctions against Collectivist Spain and declares Spain a nation enemy and an enemy of the Free World.
 * A: Try to keep to one post. B: Why is Spain so evil? They haven't done anything to earn that treatment. No Collectivist nation has done the aggressive meddling that OTL Communists did. The overreactions of you and Von would likely make Collectivism look better.
 * It's personal, many people in our nation blame Collectivism for our loss of Ireland. I am not trying to turn them into belligerents, but they are seen as bad because of the failure of the Collectivist Led Pan Celtic Union
 * You're forgetting the collectivist terrorist attacks too, e.g. the attempted assassination of the Nipponese emperor in 1976. Collectivism is seen as evil because nations like Nippon use things like the assassination attempt to make them seem evil and to protect the monarchy and their way of life. Their ideology doesn't go well with our nations and we are scared of losing power to them. It's just a good old bit of "Red terror", there are a few sympathizers but most of Nippon is against them thanks to the bad picture painted of them by the media; and I assume similar situations in other anti-collectivist nations ~Von.

The manga becomes a best seller. Meanwhile in Eesti Vabariik trams and railways are built and infrastructure is improved. Prime Minister Lüüdia Kask improves the economy a bit more.


 * Democratic People's Republic of Mystiää continues to build up military and improve infrastructure, and continues industrialisation. Supreme Leader Aatto Aaltonen continues to spread heavy pro-government propaganda in Mystiää. The borders continue to be heavily guarded, the security extremely high, and media heavily controlled.

The first highrise to surpass 20 stories starts construction in Prague, the 31-storey skyscraper, the ČEZ Group Tower, to show the economic growth of the country, and the rapid digitalization, when computer sales are up to 250,000 by the beginning of the year, with at least 20,000 connected to internet services. Česká Televize plans on a new type of digital television standard, PAL-D, which will have higher quality of service than current analogue television. Czech representatives are sent to other fellow public broadcasters, including Finland's YLE, Austria's ORF, Saigyo's SHK (Saigyo Hoso Kyokai, correct me if I'm wrong) and Nippon's NHK, to form the new digital standard. Meanwhile, fears break out of Austria possibly collapsing into Hungary, which becomes a problem. However, a bigger problem is the fear that Turkey may invade Cyprus.
 * Italy warns the Turks that if they attempt to conquer Cyprus, the Sovereignty Defense League will defend Cyprus against the invasion. Italy expands its naval capabilities as a result, in case war breaks out. Meanwhile, investigation of the Stranierismo group continues.

 * The Xalifet has given a speech to the Xalifev about the necessity of purifying their language from the incoming stream of Greek words, and replace them with ones of Turkish origin, seeing that the Arabs had been a puppet of the French so long, they will not use words of Arabic origin. Large scale Turkish migration to Northern Cyprus causes more tension between Cyprus and Turkey, considering Cyprus, due to mass immigration, is closing its doors to more immigrants. 6% of the island seems to be Turkish, or at least understand the language, however, the population has drastically decreased at home, and the Xalifev is pushing locals to have at least 4 children each, no law has been made though. The Cyprian Policeforce has been a major target for infiltration, and a large majority of its members are, in fact, Turkish. However, infiltration of the Senate has regressed. On November 12, the Xalifet announces: war with Cyprus means death, we shall not fight our brothers; ironically, the same day, a few Turkish Planes were shot down by Cyprian AA batteries, causing tensions to rise, and the Cyprian government giving Turkey money for repairing the planes. However, Turkey spends the money building better planes, as apart of its programme to have the largest airforce in the world. Meanwhile, on a more peaceful front, Turkey is helping Turkestan out of its recession, a sign of pan Turkic unity.
 * Nippon amps up its military and produces 32 more of the new Ennetsu V4 class nuclear bombs and the space programme's probe reaches Uranus and goes into orbit to observe Uranus for a year or so. Research into continues and 2.6% of Nippon's power now comes from green energy sources. Web TV invented by Toshiba. The Soni group release the SS1 game system (Sentā o saisei/play centre) as a rival to the rest of the game consoles on the market (its like OTL Playstation 1 but a bit better in terms of hardware). Toshiba using their advanced computer microchips, they release the Taha 1 (Tanoshī hako/fun box) as a rival to the other game consoles on the market and to tap into this growing market. The Taha 1 is the most powerful games console on the market thanks to using some of Toshiba's latest and most powerful microchips, it is a ( rather than a  However the Taha 1 is much more expensive than the other games consoles on the market as it has much more advanced hardware, and as a result doesn't sell as well as the rival SS1. Toshiba though do this not only to tap into this growing market but to try to stop people using computers, as the number of internet users has grown much faster than Toshiba expected and is struggling to keep up with demand; they begin planning a huge new upgrade project using fibre optic cables and trying to get governments to help finance this project too. The Toyota zaibatsu's computers department buys out a small game developers called Higenjitsutekina, who then go onto release the greatest video game made so far, Itami no kō (Duke of Pain, so OTL Duke Nukem 3D). The world's largest container vessel, the Kyodaina, is launched by the Yasuda zaibatsu to try to make their transporting costs cheaper.
 * Chamoru amps up the military and Norratsu start a medical self-diagnostic website, called Shidan.

Music Artists UFO and Ylin, featuring Kaarina Hazuki (female) as the singer, create a song, called Paras Päivä (Best Days) (the song and such is like OTL UFO and Supreme feat. Shelly Clifford - Best Days, but the lyrics are in Finnish instead of English); the song becomes a hit. Hardcore Tekno, Tekno, Synthpop, Elektro, Trance continues to dominates the Finnish music scene. A company, called Rocktähti Asobi (OTL ), releases their first game for the Sentā o saisei 1, called Suuri Varkaus Auto (OTL ) and features three fictional cities, Beisaido (based on Kōchi, Japan), Björkborg (based on Oslo, Norway), and Satokyori (based on Tokyo, Japan). The game becomes a hit and a best seller. Later 黒石くもい幻樂団/Miehistö Kuroishi Kumoi releases volume three of Chireiden having the story still focused on Soilikki Mikkola, Sayuri Mikkola and Utsuho Reiuji; but expands to include some nearby locations and features a few charaters already seen in the first six games. Meanwhile in Eesti Vabariik trams and railways are built and infrastructure is improved. Prime Minister Lüüdia Kask improves the economy a bit more.


 * Democratic People's Republic of Mystiää continues to build up military and improve infrastructure, and continues industrialisation. Supreme Leader Aatto Aaltonen continues to spread heavy pro-government propaganda in Mystiää. The borders continue to be heavily guarded, the security extremely high, and media heavily controlled.


 * Imperial Confederation of Saigyō continues building infrastructure and continues industrialisation and continues building up military. Shogun Yumiko Niskanen improves the economy. New animation films continue to be shown in the Safaia Elokuva theatre and more are created. Sirkku, Alice Margatroid, Sanae Kochiya and Minoriko Aki continue to be popular, as they are used in some films, fan manga, appear in anime, and are used in posters.

 * Czechland continues digitalization of the nation, as electric charge-up stations are extended outside of Prague and Brno, as another test trial, with the goal of the vehicle being produced in Austria, and despite current troubled relations, Skoda hopes for the vehicle to be available in Hungary and disputed Slovak territories.
 * Turkestan's economy (according to the Turkish Bureau) is largely dependent on Turkey (20% of GDP), which economically, hurts Turkey. Turkey sneaks in many illegal immigrants into Cyprus, and 1/10 of the population in Cyprus is either Turkish or understands Turkish, 1/4 of them illegal (based on estimations). The Soljuyuv commissions 10 roads to be built into Nicaea, as a sign of peace. The Turkish air force is still upgrading its technology, along western lines. The Turkish gov't has given oustandingly large financial incentives to produce babies, in which the population has doubled. However, this puts Turkey's gov't near bankruptcy.
 * There is no possible way that the population of a country could double in two years just through the childbearing incentives. How are you supposed to add so many Turkish people to Cyprus? They had barely any Turkish people there to begin with, being as they have been independent from Turkish rule for more than 300 years. They would notice hundreds of thousands of Turks flooding into their nation. Also, they are an island, you can't just run across the border, you have to have all these boats landing. They would definitely notice. You aren't going to be able to plausible annex Cyprus by having illegal immigrants. I'm sorry you returned so late, but the age of conquest and imperialism is over forever.
 * I'm not saying they're not noticing. Most definitely people in Cyprus are noticing, I wrote a longer version before, but someone edited in the middle. And the population doubling isn't a matter of suprise, considering the country is horribly depopulated because of emigration. What they had to double from was less. And, I'm not trying to annex Cyprus. That's impossible, they'd have too much international support. Moreover, that would add a lot of Christians to the nation, which the Xalifet doesn't want.
 * In Scandinavia, the Crown Prince and Tsesarevich of Scandinavia and Russia seeks a wife, particularly one that is Italian, French or German. Meanwhile, the downgrade of the military stops and the military is put on reserve largely for defensive purposes. The ninth and final child of the Royal Family is born. Meanwhile an alliance is offered to Atlantica.
 * How old? Queen Marie of France is yet to be married. I was planning for her to marry the king of Elsass/Alastia, but that player seems to have gone inactive. So perhaps she marries this guy instead ~Von
 * He's 30. How old is the Queen? I can always crank up the age a bit, largely because I forgot when the parents got married, lol.
 * Crap, I also realize I don't know how old Marie is. Lemme just go and find out...
 * Darn. She had to have been born from 1955 or before, but the Crown Prince was born 1972.
 * Yeah she became queen of Guinee in 1966 so she's over 18 there, (let's say she is 20 for simple numbers) then now she is around 50 years old. I think her marrying someone half her age probably isn't the best. Perhaps I'll just have her marry the current head of the Burgundy royal family. King Louis IV was crowned in 1962, so perhaps she now marries the new oldest head of the family, the son of Louis the IV, who could also be 50-ish. It'd give me a good reason for another war too, lol.
 * LOL OK. Also I have a new plan.
 * The Brythonic Commonwealth cuts military spending. The space program continues with a new focus on returning to the moon. Orange Computers luanches OS X Saturn. A completely new OS with new features including a built in email client and office suite. Warren Fire Hound is launched as a new web browser. The industry continues to expand. An abortion clinic is bombed and dozens of people are injured. Orange launches the new UBox Revolution with a new game lineup that includes the Elder Scrolls Arena and a war game called Iron Cross (OTL Medal of Honor). Techsoft announces Doors 98 for the opcoming year, which will its first true full feature OS to be used with any non-Orange hardware. The OS sells for 199 and includes a list of games and Techsoft's Office Environment Pro 97.
 * Kompagent releases another game console, the Agent Blue (OTL playstation), with the game "Vaselissa: lulka of time (OTL zelda ocarina of time)". It becomes an instant hit, and many more games are released, and even with a 32 bit system. Many people buy this system for its exclusive games and third party candidacy. Meanwhile, The Burya and Buran Shuttles finish delayed construction. A plan to reach Mars is concluded, with the Burya shuttle being launched to lunar orbit, where an unmanned mission has sent an Energia rocket into orbit first. In orbit, the shuttle would dock with the booster, and use lunar gravity and the Burya's unique on-shuttle engines to slingshot itself into Martian trajectory, using the second Energia rocket to boost its speed even more in the vaccum of space. The Russian empire creates the EIRC (European internet registry center) and registers the .imp .rus .rugov and .rs (Russian Senate) and .ee(Eastern Europe) and .rc (russian commonwealth). The Senate passes legislature allowing scandinavia to join the Russian commonwealth. The Russian Senate gets its own site senate.rs (Duma being senate.rs/duma and the council being senate.rs/Imperskiy_Soviet) on the internet following the clairity act, making it mandatory that each referendum pass a clear question with a clear majority, and that governement must put all legislature visible to all citizens, namely on the internet. The Buran shuttle docked successfully with the ESS. Meanwhile, plans are made for a new space station, to replace the aging ESS. The "Atlantic arm" is invented in New Vladimir (City in Novorossiya-OTL Canada arm) to help with building space stations and the like. A new shuttle is ordered for construction: the Destiny. The Excalibur orbital defence network is officially set up above Europe. This information is top secret. Getting back to the moon becomes a priority, using the Burya shuttle is becoming preferable as it can take 10 people with adequate supplies to lunar orbit, and 6 people with supplies and a lander. Work on the The Uragan or Energia-2 rocket is finished (fully-reusable version of Energia). Work begins on a 2-part variation of the Energia rocket that will be deployed to theoretically take men to Mars. One half will be deployed after lunar slingshot to boost the Burya's speed and the other will stay to boost the shuttle's speed during the return trip. Technology will be similar to the multistage rockets.
 * Erm...we've only gone as far as dynastic and political union. I doubt I could or would join the Commonwealth. That basically establishes me as lesser than Russia when we are supposed to be equals.
 * Nippon amps up its military and produces 32 more of the new Ennetsu V4 class nuclear bombs and the space programme's probe in orbit of Uranus goes off to go orbit Neptune. The comet Hale-Bopp has its closest approach to earth and this is monitored a lot by the Asian Space station telescope, a probe is even sent to take a sample from the comet but the probe is destroyed, however it does chip off a bit of the comet so a clean-up team is sent to get the samples and the broken probe. Research into continues and 2.7% of Nippon's power now comes from green energy sources. Video games continue to gain popularity as more manga and anime begin releasing tie-in games of their story. Toshiba with the support of the Nipponese government continue to upgrade the Nipponese Internet infrastructure to make it cope with the growing number of users. The gas-powered fuel cell invented by the Toyota zaibatsu too. The Mitsui Keiretsu becomes the world's most valuable business conglomerate, thanks a lot to Toshiba's work with the Internet and computers; they are valued around ¥ 33 trillion, which is quite a lot compared to Nippon's next biggest company the Yasuda zaibatsu which is only worth ¥ 19 trillion.

 * The Kingdom of Guinée amps up its military and the nation's economy continues to boom. The Kingdom celebrates the royal marriage of Marie and Jacque too.
 * The Commonwealth of Eetoria and Ngainkeha amp up their military and the Nagin Airship corp.'s ThrustSSC sets the first supersonic land speed record in the Eetorian Desert, at an average speed of 1,227.985 km/h (763.035 mph).
 * Wonderlaand's military is amped up and they also set up an Antarctic research base too.
 * Mauritius amps up their military and the rap scene begins to go global, thanks to star rapper Nigel Nelgo a.k.a Enanen.
 * Neue Brandenburg's Collectivist government institutes a policy of direct referendums on most policy. It is opposed by the Socialists but soon gains widespread public support.

Turkey ask Italy to recognise it as a peace-loving nation, and their extremist groups (which only differ with the gov't about the use of violence) differences. The Cyprian police (infiltrated by Turks) cracks down hard on the civilian guard, which is deemed ulawful. Khiva becomes a full member of the Turkish bank after a bad harvest causes food prices to rise. Turkey starts printing a new currency called the Dulaarallah due to high inflation in Turkey which by the middle of the year reached 34857%. Turkestan, which is heavily reliant on Turkey, also adopts the dulaarllah. Turkey is working on its navy.
 * You cannot control Cyprus's police. I also established that no major Turkish immigration or infilitration of Cyprus could occur. I don't even know what a "corter" is, but I will assume that you mean they kill many civilians. I also want you to know that you are not going to get away with saying "they aren't controlled for the government" from your spiteful attack against Italy because I wasn't going to let you take over Cyprus implausibly. Also, I can't see how Turkestan is going to rely on Turkey, the Turkestani economy is better than the Turkish one.
 * I didn't attack Italy, extremist did... Now the difference, I did it for historical purposes... And Turkey and Turkestan's economies are intercoorelated (if that's word). Turkey gives many incentives to make its citizens trade with Turkestan. If Turkey were to pull support, Turkestan would take a big blow to the economy, likewise it would cause the inflation in Turkey to rise. And i don't see where you see corter, but I've been infiltrating the police force since 1995, I'm sure Turkey would have made SOME progress.
 * Neue Brandenburg offers condolences to the Italian government, but calls for no retaliation towards Turkey or Turks in the country, and offers to mediate reconciliation efforts if necessary.

 * Nippon amps up its military and produces 44 more of the new Ennetsu V4 class nuclear bombs and the space program's probe continues to travel towards Neptune. Research into wave power continues and 4.1% of Nippon's power now comes from green energy sources. Toshiba with the support of the Nipponese government finish upgrading the Nipponese Internet infrastructure and it is now capable of hosting a billion users. E-commerce continues to fuel a period of rapid economic expansion focusing mostly on the Internet and e-commerce, but market analysts predict this is just a bubble and a lot of the investments in e-businesses are near worthless and will the market will soon crash. Nipponese botanists open the Garden of Eden project in Satotochi, and build a huge greenhouse (the worlds largest in fact) to try help save the worlds largest collection of plants, as they attempt to protect endangered species of plants. Nippon also opens the cybercrime prevention Bureau (CPB) to try and reduce the dangerously high amounts of cybercrime, which leads to the CPB and a group of large Nipponese music companies entering a lawsuit against the website Napzata and its founder Lucio Kagawa. Toshiba also release their first digital music player, the K-owon (OTL iPod), which is completely supported by Toshiba's new TX-01 operating system (OTL Windows XP), which is also received with great praise.

 * The Kingdom of (Northern) France amps up its military and the war against the PRF continues, but the lines of battle hardly move thanks to both sides already having quite good defence lines already.
 * The Kingdom of Guinée amps up its military and Nuva-ring birth control invented by Guinéeian pharmaceutical company Paganda.
 * The Commonwealth of Eetoria and Ngainkeha amp up their military and the commonwealth produce 201 more Viglena thermonuclear bombs, meaning stockpiles of the Viglena bomb are now at a good capacity and production stops.
 * Wonderlaand's military is amped up and Wonderlaand medical company Eir invent the artificial liver.
 * Mauritius amps up their military and Lucio Kagawa is forced to close his peer-to-peer file sharing Internet service Napzata, after loosing a court case against various music companies, and a new case concerning sending Lucio Kagawa for copyright infringement, theft and loss of earnings, among things.
 * The Federation of the America's federal government continue to fund several hydro and wind power projects to try create clean, non-polluting sources of electricity in the federation, as 14.9% of the federation's power now comes from green sources of power, as work continues to lower pollution. The federal military amps up in all of the member states. The drug cartels are now all but destroyed, but small scale drug trade remains. The federation also expands their presence in western Antarctica. The federation is also rocked by a huge 8.2 magnitude earthquake in Peru, and a large scale clean-up operation throughout the affected regions in the federation.
 * The Brythonic Commonwealth expands its banking industry and re-opens ports of travel. The repairs begin on all the places targeted in the past year. Emergency Elections are held and the General Assembly and the PM are elected. The new Prime Minister is now Robert Irwen. Irwen is politically attacked by James Riddick of the Independence Party. He is clamouring that the Kingdom be abolished and a Republic be established, and says that Irwen is nothing but a Russian puppet. Most people ignore Riddick, who is a world class drunk and a breaker of the peace. Orange Launches OS X Saturn SE and it is sold as an upgrade offer for only 30 Euro Marks. Techsoft continues to gain marginal profit margins. A new cooperation aggreement is proposed to Nippon by the new General Assembly to "reboot" relations with the far eastern power. PM Irwen states "This is a new century, let the Welsh and the Nipponese embrace this new era together." The military is put on stand down. The internet becomes a huge market as more nation begin to use the quick and reliable service to transfer goods. There is no dot.com bubble in Wales at the moment, but economists warn of the potential in near months and years

Scandinavian locals create a website called Wikipedia, a free encyclopedia currently in three languages: Danish, Russian, and Japanese. One of them also creates the "Wikia," a Wikipedia-esque website devoted to a single topic.
 * Hey Wikipedia was already established this year by a Shuubudanese computer scientist called Nagi Rankan. He led a global project to establish a Wiki free content encyclopaedia called Wikipedia, in an attempt to spread the global availability of free and unbiased information. Scandinavia is of course welcome to join the project but it has already been started by Nagi Rankan. Do try to read all new posts since your last visit to avoid this sort of stuff in future please? ~Von
 * Czechland keeps the Czech Air Force on high alert, based on what's going on in Turkey (only rumours, since the mods may cancel that event out). The military is still ready to be deployed, in case something like Triple 9 occurs in Czechland. Internet usage is now for the first time, used by over half the population, where many of people use it for economical reasons, economists suggest they should listen to the Welsh advice of potential collapse, but there's no stopping Czechland's technological economic boom. Shortly after Wikipedia is created by famed Scandinavians, the first Czech pages are typed, with at least 100 Czech articles by the end of the year, however, the website is barely known at the moment. Some of the first Czech-language Wikia's are based around popular anime, popular domestic animated series, Dívky Supervelmoc, and fanpages and fanfiction around Czech-Hungarian movie of last year, Halál Angyalai.

2002
'''The Hungarian colony of Rangyóra declares independance from Hungary as the Kingdom of Rangyóra. The Rangyórans crown a cousin of the current Hungarian king as Queen Elizabeta I of Rangyóra, as a way to cement ties between the nation and their homeland.'''


 * Finland continues to build up its military, build and improve some infrastructure. Shogun Rin Halonen improves the economy. Animation films and Anime and Manga are continued to be made too. Satomi Karjalainen's Satoyori (さとより) Company continues to making/building kurumás while Ayumi Rahikkala's Tōhōnokia continues making phones.

Hardcore Tekno, Tekno, Synthpop, Elektro, Trance continues to dominates the Finnish music scene. Later 黒石くもい幻樂団/Miehistö Kuroishi Kumoi releases a new Itäinen Projekti game, 東方妖々夢/Itäinen Youyoumu ; has Sayuri Mikkola, Soilikki Mikkola, and Utsuho Reiuji as playable charaters (game similar to otl 東方妖々夢　～ Perfect Cherry Blossom with slightly altered storyline). Rocktähti Asobi, releases Suuri Varkaus Auto: Beisaido (similar to otl ) for the Sentā o saisei 2 and PC, and it takes place in Beisaido (Kōchi, Japan).

Empress Satsuki Ghandi-Komeiji increases her presence in her Erityiset alue Suur Sätōri Prefektuuri, Suomalainen Etelämanner territory, having few more research stations built there; soon she decides to visit Nippon as well, meeting with their Prime Minister/Shogun. Meanwhile in Eesti Vabariik trams and railways are built and infrastructure is improved. Prime Minister Lüüdia Kask improves the economy a bit more.
 * Democratic People's Republic of Mystiää continues to build up military and improve infrastructure, and continues industrialisation. Supreme Leader Aatto Aaltonen continues to spread heavy pro-government propaganda in Mystiää. The borders continue to be heavily guarded, the security extremely high, and media heavily controlled. Supplies sent to help the PR of France in their war.

New animation films continue to be shown in the Safaia Elokuva theatre and more are created. Sirkku, Alice Margatroid, Sanae Kochiya and Minoriko Aki continue to be popular, as they are used in some films, fan manga, appear in anime, and are used in posters. Sanae Heikkinen releases Super Csokonai Auringonpaiste (similar to otl ) for the 星ザコ ゲームキューブ.
 * Czechland announces that they will recognize Rangyora, but will not take part in any conflict that may brew between Hungary and Rangyora. The Czech military continues modernization, with the first electricity-powered Military in Europe promised by Czech military commander, Viktor Horák. In the elections, the first female elected President, Nina Novotná, takes power, after a massive 84% support from the Democracy Party of Czechland. TOON-NET representives are sent to other parts of Europe, in order to promote international animation, and allow them on cable and sateilite providers.
 * Why do you think there's going to be a conflict between the two nations? In crowning the Hungarian noblewoman the Rangyorans are saying that they want to remain in the Hungian sphere of influence.
 * Hungary updates its military.Meanwhile, King Béla dies with no offspring, and is succeeded by his brother Stephen, later crowned Stephen VIII.Rangyóra's independence is recognized.
 * Turkey continues updating its airforce. Cyprus warns Turkey about their involvement in their affairs hitherto may cause war, and with much pressure Turkey steps down, and offers the Byzantium Pact (free-trade). Turkestan has mirrored Turkey's policies in giving incentive to trade in Turkestan. The largest Turkish export to Turkestan is the fez. Khiva has given incentives to trade with Turkestan, but because of slight distrust of Turkey, does not do the fovour for it. Khiva has made the Dulaarullah one of its official currencies (even though it is rarely used exept umongst merchants). The Turkic Nations has formed. (Kinda like OTL EU)
 * Nippon amps up its military and produces 38 more of the new Ennetsu V4 class nuclear bombs and the space program's probe reaches Neptune, and goes into orbit as the space program scientists use the probe to investigate Neptune's mysteries. Research into wave power continues, which results in a wave power plant being built in Okinawa and 4.5% of Nippon's power now comes from green energy sources. Nano-tex - nanotechnology wearable fabrics invented by Mitsubishi. The Foveon Camera Chip invented by the Sumitomo Group, who then go on to invent the pod-tent as an alternative to traditional tents and young adults wanting a better way to camp at music festivals. Market analysts are proven correct after Nippon's dot.com bubble bursts, causing Nippon to enter a recession. Sales of Toshiba's K-owon music player continue to grow hugely despite the recession, which leads to record sales in Nippon falling drastically thanks to the recession and people downloading music illegally to put on their K-owon players. Toshiba launch their online music store Tunes, and try to encourage K-owon users to download their music files from legal sources. Restrictions are further loosened for mercy killings and assisted suicide for patients with unbearable, terminal illness in Nippon, and in some cases people manage to get away with mercy killings. Otherwise Nippon's recession deepens and it begins to effect other nations around the world.
 * Chamoru amps up the military and the Phone tooth is invented by Norratsu, but the product sees little real success. Norratsu then go on to invent the Birth control patch, which is more popular but the more traditional methods of conception are preferred over the new patch.
 * Shuubudan amps up the military and Nagi Rankan continues to promote the Wikipedia around the globe. The Braille Glove is invented by Yukari Tanizaki for her deaf sister Chiyo, and then the Tanizaki sisters go on a business venture promoting and selling their braille glove invention.
 * The Kingdom of (Northern) France amps up its military and the war against the PRF ends, after a stalemate is met again. Many more lives are lost, and the Kingdom of France's population really begin to oppose the ideas of any more wars against the PRF, as they simply are not worth the lives being lost. The Kingdom moves in to integrate the recently gained territory into the Kingdom. Also the Date Rape Drug Spotter gets invented by a French inventor Sandra Le Fondre.
 * The Kingdom of Guinée amps up its military and the country begins looking into solar power more as a potential energy source, after Guineeian energy minister Dider Triffid visits the commonwealth of Eetoria and Ngainkeha to see their solar power plants.
 * The Commonwealth of Eetoria and Ngainkeha amp up their military and the commonwealth invent the too, as a new way of harnessing the sun's power.
 * Wonderlaand's military is amped up and Wonderlaander computer tinker Ole Guntahr-Solajaskar invents the Virtual keyboard as an alternative to traditional keyboards.
 * Mauritius amps up their military and Lucio Kagawa is sent to prison for 10 years for copyright infringement, theft and loss of earnings, among things. However this has sparked a new Internet culture of downloading content for free, illegally; and the Mauritian courts and police struggle greatly to find those responsible.
 * The Federation of the America's federal government continue to fund several hydro and wind power projects to try create clean, non-polluting sources of electricity in the federation, as 15% of the federation's power now comes from green sources of power, as work continues to lower pollution, including joint research with Nippon into wave power. The federal military amps up in all of the member states. The damage caused by last year's large earthquake is cleaned up, only for a large volanco in Songone to errupt; a relief effort begins to stop the damage caused, and the federation forms the Natural disaster relief bureau to centralize natural disaster relief efforts for future natural disaster relief.
 * The Vietnamese continue expanding their industry throughout their country. Kenians expands their industry throughout their country. Zanzibar expands their industry throughout their country.
 * The Neolithuanians continue expanding their industry throughout their country.
 * Taiwanese continue to expand their industry throughout their country. They expand the New Taihoku colony by 238*50 sq km on the uninhabited islands.
 * The Myanma continue to expand their industry throughout their country.
 * The British continue expanding their industry throughout their country.
 * The Tangierans continue expanding their industry throughout their country.
 * The Russian space shuttle Burya lifts off into space for the first manned mission on the moon on a spaceplane; using the Energia-2 boosters the ship was able to be launched into lunar orbit, where its main hatch was oppened, and 2 2-man lunar landers. 2 men stayed behind to watch after the ship's systems, and to make sure that the cosmonauts are safely returned to the spaceplane, becasue they will be returing to it via spacewalk because of the landers' smaller design, and they were not designed to return to the Burya. the return was done very suucesfuly, with the Burya's thrusters providing the speed necesary to return to earth just as fast as the missions in the 60s and 70s. The spaceplane is greeted with a hero's welcome as it lands on one of the runways of the Vnukovo international airport, but this was just a PR stunt for the airport to make it gain historical significance(domodedovo was the first and sheremetyevo the first international airport(even if they were all made international in time)). and the in-space connection of the shuttle to in-lunar-orbit energia rockets tests are planned to be done next year 9 months of martial law and absolute power have done its work, and new elections are finaly held, and the octobrist(conservative) party wins becasue of backlash agianst left-wingers becasue of the red claw. Meanwhile, the Empress' last decree before the end of her absolute term was emediate monetary compensation for all costs that they would have had to pay if there were no social protocols and complete tax exemption for one year to the people that were falsely accused and imprisonned under martial law. Maria's words on the matter when she lifted the war measures act off the people were: "I know i can not fully compensate for the horrors these people have suffered, but I can offer my sincere apologies, and hope that in some decade and in some other universe you will forgive me for what i was forced to do, and I hope that you will accept what I can give, and I promise, that this will never happen agian." Later this year, a black arrow is sent above northern spain to survey the area for red claw HQ. meanwhile, using intel gathered during the acting of martial law, the red claw elements in russia are directly linked to the Chechnyan seperatist-terrorist group that recently declared an emirate of the caucassus, with their leadership being one and the same. The spetsnaz' Flagship team spetsnaz group 461(number made by the first 6 ones in the binary code for seal team 6 in binary and is correct to my knowledge) Raids the emirate's HQ and captures about 60% of the highest members and all the planners of the tripple 9 attack residing in russia at this time. After a mass trial, they are all by a jury "found guilty of conspiring to overthrow the Senate of Her Imperial Majesty Maria II, and in its palce putting a governement that discriminates and promotes the genocide of all who disagree with it, of conspiring and ordering the murder of thousnads of innocents and a member of the Imperial family, and for that reason guilty of high treason, conspiring to destroy the peace and unity in europe and the russian commonwealth. The punishement for these crimes must be more severe than death itself, as it is prohibited by russian law, so these monsters are condemned to life in Katorga, without internet, television or radio, without possibility of building their own home or growing their own food, with no posessions of any kind, and with no connections to the outside world, and are only able to converse between themselves, to ensure that they do not give orders form beond their cell". More black arrows are sent above spain(these are staealth planes that go into the stratosphere, with the only way they can be detected is by satelite) in hopes that they will find red claw HQ and raid it and hopefuly end them once and for all, as they are becoming quite a nuisance(im planning this to be a osama bin laden-esque type thing with Spetsnaz group 461 being an ATL version of Seal team 6 and spain being Pakistan)
 * SECL continues to work on caputing members of the red claw responsible for former acts of terror and sending them to their former countries to be punished. meanwhile ---. SECL launches its first communication sattilite, used to begin the SECL internet space. they are unhappy about rumours that russia is interfering somehow with their internal affairs, an request they do not meddle in SECL affairs. the border with northern france continues to hold, and SECL requests international aid to stop northern france invading
 * Then why don't you do something about the terrorists in your country? You deal with it, or we gonna come and deal with it for you.
 * In Scandinavia, the King passes away peacefully in Copenhagen, marking the end of one of the best reigns in Scandinavian history. His son Frederick is coronated as Frederick III, King of Scandinavia and Fyodor IV, Tsar of Russia in the largest coronation ceremony in either Russian or Scandinavian history. The same students who founded Gratipedia (happy now Von? I called Wikipedia anyways.) and the Devotee (Wikia) accidentally gain access to Spanish collectivist government files. They discover that the Red Claw is hiding in either Barcelona or Bilbao, although more likely than not outside of either city. The Scandinavian government receives an unlisted video on ViewBox. It shows a bearded man in his 50s and a bald young man proclaiming themselves to be Carlos and Juan Alveraz, the masterminds behind the Red Claw and the Quadruple 9 Attacks. ViewBox administration deletes the video, but news of it leaks out through WorldLeaks and the government releases a copy of the video to the media, which hits the world soon. "Alvarez Uprisings" begin in Sweden and Denmark, and outside the locations of the Four-9 Attacks. A military officers named Heinrich Himmler (not OTL's one, but of German descent) develops a plan to track down the Red Claw headquarters, but initial results lead the navy to Atlantica. There, a team of spec-ops soldiers raid a mansion the capital city, giving them further information about the Red Claw. However, this is minuscule and told only to the government. However, it does tell us that the Alvarez brothers and their inner circle have fled to Nagasaki or Delhi due to Spain starting to purge the Claw.
 * Scraw you misinterpreted my claim to Wikipedia, I mean it as "I have already done it, you are free to join me, so we don't need another one." You seem to think I'm hogging Wikipedia to myself, which I am not, anyone is free to join in. Also Nippon is extremely anti-collectivist having Red Claw based in Nagasaki isn't a very wise move, surely they'd be based somewhere collectivist like Silesia, Calora, Slovakia or Neue Brandenburg. Or at least some neutral country like Egypt or the federation of the Americas. ~Von.
 * Just like how you misinterpreted me. I called it a long time ago (1951 or 1959). I am ignoring Wikipedia (larging because the use of the Hawaiian word wiki, and I am sure Hawaiian is unlikely to be known well in Shuubudaan (correct spelling?) and since Czechland has recognized Gratipedia. I think we all know well what Wikipedia is about: collaboration; but regardless, I claimed the Wikimedia Foundation oh so long ago.
 * Could I have proof of you claiming the Wikimedia Foundation in the 1950s? I did a quick check but found nothing. Also if you already claimed it, then why no mention of it in your 2001 post? Surely an organization devoted to spreading information freely to all founded before the Internet was invented, would of made a pretty big deal about the Internet and founded this site in the 1990s. Besides all of that, how on earth could it be formed in the 1950s anyway? Such a thing like the whole wikipedia project requires something like the Internet to work. 1950s people didn't have a clue about the Internet becoming the phenomena it is today. And yeah Shuubudan is a Nipponese vassal state, it is in northern Australia, it is a lot closer to Hawaii then Scandinavia in terms of geography and diplomacy (Korea and Nippon good allies). That said, how does Scandinavia have any relation to Hawaii? Apart from when it used to be a Swedish colony decades ago there is no real connection...
 * Check Archive 10 of the talk page. I called a ton of stuff, as did a lot of others, such as your self. I did mention it in 2001, although I mentioned Wikipedia only because I was in a rush to go to the store. It was not formed in the 1950s, I only called it. And anyways, mine is named Gratipedia, gratis being the Latin word for share.
 * Well in this section where you claim that stuff, I don't claim anything. Secondly as many people have proved "dibs" don't seem to mean anything in this game, which you then went on to say "I don't care about calling things and dibs and no backsies anymore because my claims were ignored. I dibsed the first orbital man, no one respected that." Your claim of dibs is therefore redundant.
 * Look, I don't know what your problem is, but why can't we have two seperate encyclopedias? Asia vs. Europe, like the olden days?
 * Wow. After years of you wanting peaceful relations you go and do something like this? Look my problem is that I thought we were meant to be at peace now, and there is no need for two organization's aiming to spread global knowledge to have separate websites. They would have joint operations to do this together. I think we all know well what Wikipedia is about: collaboration. So why you no collaborate?
 * Why? Largely because you Asian people have a bad habit of being ignorant of other people's claims and actions. And I am willing to do this because this is not related to government, it is common people vs. common people. Let's just see which website gains more followers by 2010. In 2011 we can forget about one of the websites.
 * How on earth do we judge which website has more followers? Look like you say its people against people, but they have the exact same goal . The only reason they aren't collaborating is because of your bad grudges. Those people founding these wikipedia-type websites don't have these grudges and so would collaborate. Stop letting your own personal hypocritical grudges getting in the way of plausibility.
 * How? Well, Czechland, Russia, and Wales are already using Gratipedia (or at least their people are), I didn't really see anyone talking about Wikipedia. The only reason they aren't collaborating is because of your ultimate refusal to respect me in a such a miniscule aspect. STOP FREAKING INSULTING ME. I hate it when anyone insults anyone else. Cut the shit dammit.
 * Stop whining when people beat you to inventions, those claims mean nothing and no one is required to follow them. Stop pitching tantrums because people post before you.
 * Italy demands that Turkey pay the entire cost for the repairs of Rome, and all money spent by the Italian government in the rescue and recovery effort, as well as at least 100,000 Lira per casualty. This amounts to a grand total of 2.8 billion Lira. They state that the Turkish government must pay for their failure. They also demand that Turkey place their anti-terrorist parts of their law enforcement under Italian control to search for those who did this, as the Turkish government appears incompetent on their own.
 * Is Lyre your currency?
 * I meant Lira

2003
'''The Hungarian provinces of Croatia and Dalmatia declare independance from Hungary. They officially join the Kingdom of Yugoslavia, on the condition that the Yugoslavians renew their ties with the Hugarian government. The Yugoslavians send a diplomat to Budapest to negotiate a deal for their return to the Hungarian sphere of influence. They offer the Hungarians heavy discounts on the use of Yugoslavian ports.'''
 * Further Scandinavian intelligence efforts show that the Alvarez brothers and teh Red Claw are not in Japan, but somewhere in Bharat. It asks Bharat to do something about lest European and anti-terrorist nations are forces to send military forces into Bharat. Meanwhile a new icebreaker is built for the navy, the SNS 9-9-99. Meanwhile the fourth man to step on the moon (or was it the fifth? depends on how many Japs went on the moon) dies. (HEIL NEIL ARMSTRONG, dead today OTL.) Meanwhile Four-9 Rioters are angered that the host nations do nothing about the Claw and subsequently burn down the Bharati and Spanish Embassies, although everyone makes it out alive. Meanwhile Hans Dakgerschtopin walks to the North Pole from Svalbard, being the first man to do so alone. Meanwhile the largest hailstone ever found lands in Goteberg, Sweden, killing a young couple who were running home during the storm. Meanwhile four sons of Carlos Alvarez and two of Juan Alvarez were killed in naval combat in the Indian Ocean (Carlos' sons) and in aerial combat over Chechnya (Juan's sons). Meanwhile studies show that in 2002, average temperatures were seven degrees higher than those of 2001, and the same pattern repeated itself from 1989 onwards. The same scientists encourage massive ecological reforms to save the Earth. Terrorist activity fails to cease within the European Federation, and the Presidents of Sweden and Karelia are both assassinated by the Chechnya Claw branch members, and the European Imperial Council (Scandinavian senate + Russian Duma = EIC, located on XYZ Island) faced a minor bombing, killing 97 Councilors. The use of hand held mobile phones and texting, both while driving, is outlawed nation wide. A partial lunar eclipse is seen. Japan, Bharat, Finland, the Commonwealth of Eetoria and Ngainkeha, and the Federation of the Americas are invited to a conference to officially divide Antarctica amongst the nations, instead of having scattered bases and claims. One of the Scandinavian bases witnesses a total solar eclipse. Copenhagen's Grand Central Terminal is bombed four times, once a week in December. The Tsar/King's first daughter is born, Maria Alexandra Feodorovna, Tsarevna of Russia and Princess of Scandinavia.
 * I didn't know. Relax.
 * Seriously what did I just tell you. Read all new posts since your last visit to avoid this sort of stuff. All it takes is a quick Ctrl-f to find out what has happened in the past. I do apologize more my short fuse atm, my exams are nearly over so my stress levels will be down soon I promise lol. Also you forgot to invite Finland to this thing. Quite how your intending my commonwealth & federation to give up some of their land claims to you I am eager to see. Be warned the ante has been upped thanks to that last incident ;)
 * Wales is no longer a member of the Russian Duma, as such we request representation within the European Federation
 * OK.
 * Yeah, these claims were how long ago? A vast majority of those posts have been archived. And I can't use the finder to find "Did Ngainkeha claim Antarctican land?" And I'm not here to take land from you, I'm just divvying up the remainder. And it has only been upped because of your rudeness and ignorance in regards to what I have done in the past.
 * Yes you can. CTRL-F Antarctica. If its been archived then look in the archives & do this. But if you actually bother to do so, then you'll find it was done in posts on the current game page. Also remember rudeness works both ways.
 * And we both know one person starts it.
 * Bharat (through New Vijanagar, the closest land to Antarctica settles I believe) and Istoias (which is really close) should be included in any Antarctic division instead of a bunch of nations that are nowhere near it.
 * Really? I didn't know about this. Thanks for the heads up.
 * The Brythonic Commonwealth's new General Assembly votes on and passes a resolution that will bring Wales to an equal footing with the other European Federation members. There has been ongoing talks of leaving the Commonwealth of Russia, as it is seen as a sign of weakness that a sovreign nation remains at the mercy of a foriegn power. The General Assembly passes the Welsh Freedom and Equality Proclaimation which will restore the original Welsh-Scandinavia-Russo King and remove the Brythonic Commonwealth from Russia, becoming fully independent for the first time in 50 years. The government is expected to undergo a period of change as thing are shifted back to a more national focus. Orange Inc launched OS X Neptune as a full feature OS apart from the now aging Saturn OS X. Techsoft launches Doors Viewpath(OTL Vista, without the bad parts) and it gains popularity among many Europeans and other people around the world. The Welsh Committee on Environmental Policies concludes that massive ecological measures must be taken now before the planet suffers from Global Climate change. Scientists agree that within 10- 20 years the world could be facing near extinction level weather, including violent hurricanes, Earthquakes and Tsunamis.
 * The Russian Commonwealth is just like the OTL brittish commonwealth but with a mutual defence alliance. if you wnat to leave, its fine with me. you were never part of russia. You just vote for certain members of the Russian Duma(even then, that was just me not wanting to worry about removing numbers from the members of the Duma when nations decided to seperate).
 * Very well I did not realize how exactly it was set up, We want to try to become completely unbeholden to anyone. Thank You for understanding, it isn't me being hostile, I just want to remove confusion in the world on how we stand. If it is like the British Commonwealth then we may consider staying. I'll just retconn what I said. I was thinking because of our heir crisis in the 40's that Russia effectively seized control of the nation through Alexi.
 * New Wales expands industry and officailly follows the Brythonic Commonwealth in voting for complete removal from the Russian Commonwealth.
 * Neue Brandenburg's last king, who obviously has no real power at this point (and is elected), abdicates. A national referendum disbands the monarchy, and officially makes the country a "People's Union".
 * Hungary continues updating its military.Meanwhile, They accept the Yugoslavian offer, and start working on expanding their remaining ports on Istria, as before then, most maritime trade was made through Croatian, not Istrian ports.
 * The Russian Senate votes to change the name of the Russian commonwealth to the Commonwealth of Nations, due to many percieving the name meaning that the members are at the mercy of Russia. Small formalities such as the "Russian" in Russian Commonwealth Mutual Defence Pact is officialy removed, seeing as there is no other commonwealth active in the world. The Newest Rurik Class aircraft carrier is launched, the HIMS Admiral Kuznetsov, the most advanced Rurik-class carrier yet.


 * Finland continues to build up its military, build and improve some infrastructure. Shogun Rin Halonen improves the economy. Animation films and Anime and Manga are continued to be made too. Satomi Karjalainen's Satoyori (さとより) Company continues to making/building kurumás while Ayumi Rahikkala's Tōhōnokia continues making phones. Meanwhile Liitto Kansainvälisen Auto/Kokusai Jidōsha Renmei (国際自動車連盟) hosts the fourtysecond season of Kaava Yksi in Finland, Saigyō, Nippon, Bhārat, Eesti Vabariik, Shuubudan, Commonwealth of Eetoria and Ngainkeha and this season sees a Nippon driver winning. Utsuho Reiuji, Soilikki Mikkola, Sayuri Mikkola, Yuyuko Saigyouji and Youmu Konpaku continue being popular in Finland along with Anime Conventions and Kosupure. Hardcore Tekno, Tekno, Synthpop, Elektro, Trance continues to dominates the Finnish music scene. Later 黒石くもい幻樂団/Miehistö Kuroishi Kumoi releases a new Itäinen Projekti game, 東方萃夢想/Itäinen Suimusou ; has Sayuri Mikkola, Soilikki Mikkola, and Utsuho Reiuji, among some others as playable characters (game similar to otl 東方萃夢想　～ Immaterial and Missing Power with slightly altered storyline, and few more playable characters). Empress Satsuki Ghandi-Komeiji allows Nippon to set up some bases in the Erityiset alue Suur Sätōri Prefektuuri, Suomalainen Etelämanner if they wish; she also extends the Suur Sätōri Prefektuuri from 25th meridian west to 20th meridian west to hopefully have a slice completely to herself. Sonja Komeiji recommends her (Empress) to have some kind of treaty instead. Empress Satsuki Ghandi-Komeiji kinda refuses, and states that Kata Pöysti, was the first to discover Etelämanner (Antarctica) back in 1847. Soon, hearing about this arranged meeting that Scandinavia is hosting, Empress Satsuki Ghandi-Komeiji (wearing the Youmu Konpaku costume, which by the way has become sort of her main things to wear, without the white hair wig though.) attends to see what its about, but enters at extreme caution. Meanwhile in Eesti Vabariik trams and railways are built and infrastructure is improved. Prime Minister Lüüdia Kask improves the economy a bit more. Later, Estonian company Liviko releases a new game for PC, called Suur Veoauto: Üle Maantee Võidusõidu (similar to otl ).


 * Democratic People's Republic of Mystiää continues to build up military. Supreme Leader Aatto Aaltonen continues to spread heavy pro-government propaganda in Mystiää. The borders continue to be heavily guarded, the security extremely high, and media heavily controlled. Meanwhile, tanks begin smashing through the border, storming right in...Saigyō. Supreme Leader Aatto Aaltonen offically declares war against them and has his military kill as much enemies as possible, this includes enemy civilians.


 * Imperial Confederation of Saigyō continues building infrastructure and continues industrialisation and continues building up military. Shogun Yumiko Niskanen declares war against the invading Mystiääns. Soon, Severe Typhoon Ylitalo with winds up to 171kmh makes a surprise hit into Saigyō, slaming into Kazami, and Lower Kōshi, then far eastern part of Sunda. The storm finally dissolves near far upper Australia. The Kōshis and Kazamis begin to clean up and other stuff after the storm passed. With both the bad typhoon and the invasion, the confederacy is in a tight spot, and loses much land in the Malaysian peninsula to Mystiää, but once the typhoon had passed, Saigyo was able to re-group and stop the advancing Mystiää.
 * Nippon joins the war on Saigyo's side to protect them from the invading Mystiääns who are doing this war purely to prop up their falling regime. Nippon also wants to protect her near-by Ringga colony from any possible Mystiään attack and make sure the straits of Malacca aren't blocked off.
 * In Käwäshiro, Hellevi Ayana, Fumikazu Mäkelä, and Annika Kari releases a parody of travel guidebooks, called . Meanwhile a building based on the blueprints of the Juche Tower (given to Käwäshiro back in 1963) begins construction in Someromokōu, but is renamed into the Flandre-Torni (torni is tower in Finnish) and made to represent democracy.
 * Czechland has fully reached digitalization, now on standards with Finland and Brythonic Commonwealth's level. A very hot summer strikes, with weather reaching as high as 41°C in Prague, leading to mass dehydration and death. At the same time, tinder-dry conditions light up the huge forests around Czechland's reserves on fire, leading to a horrific fire in eastern Czechland (the Czechslovak province, due to the high population of the Slovak minority, and it's proximity to Bratislava, a major Slovak city in the Slovak Automonus District of Hungary). It gets worse as almost no rain is recorded during the wet season of the summer in 95% of Czechland, leading to a catastrophic water shortages. A violent anti-government riot breaks out during the 8th day over 35 °C weather, with no rain or any drop in temperature predicted for the rest of August. Rolling blackouts cause damage, causing at least 85 Billion Kč in economic and structural damage, and at least 300 deaths and 4,500 injuries during a five-day state of emergency. By September 2, only 35 millimetres of precipitation were recorded, when at least 438mm of rain should have occured since May, which were only two days, one of which was a violent downpour of 31mm within an hour in early June. Water usage is to be heavily monitored, especially when resovoirs run empty for the first time in over a century. The hot weather ends unusually late in late October, when averages finally drop below 25°C. The damage had already been done, and Czech officials are forced to ask other nations for water and food, due to a massive famine that has scorched Eastern Europe, with Czechland getting the brunt of it.
 * Empress Satsuki Ghandi-Komeiji of Finland sends lots of food and water to Czechland.
 * President Novotná thanks Finland for their help, especially since our country is in a massive crisis at the moment.

 * worried about growing hostilities and the loss of territtories in france, SECL anounces that they are now for all intents and purposes, one nation. the anti terrorist program increases another level with dedicated anti terror units now in place. the spanish internet continus to expand, with programs such as wikipedia becoming translatable into spanish. the red claws head of inteligence is captured in southern spain, but so far has told authorities nothing about red claw operations.worried about losing Mystiää SECL begins to send aid and troops. burgandy is absorbed into SECL. and they ask for a place in the commonwealth of nations.
 * The Kingdom of France offer the new SECL superstate a non-aggression pact.
 * More attacks appear within Turkey Targeting government building throwing Turkey into complete chaos. Many small parties have appeared and the government only has control over the coast. The Turkey negotiates with Cyprus to buy 3km of land in the NE for 200, 000 dulaarullah (I don't know if this is against the rules or not), and sets its capital their, in fear of extremist, collectivist and other rebel attacks.


 * You cannot control other nations to say they randomly sell you land. Your currency is worthless, 200,000 dulaarullah is probably like 10,000 dollars. Cyprus isn't going to sell out their own people because their former oppressors give them a tiny pitance of land.
 * No the Lira was useless... The Dulaarullah isn't though. No-one but the people still under Turkish control uses it, which causes massive deflation... Anyhow, that plot of land didn't have any people on it, only nature. But I guess I still can't make them sell me land.
 * You are wrong. The lira in this timeline has had centuries of stability and prosperity to bolster it's value. Your country did not exist until twenty years ago. To say that your funny money is more valuable than the Lira, which is likely one of the top ten most valuable currencies in the world, is an insult to Lurk's work. 
 * Nippon amps up its military and produces 49 more of the new Ennetsu V4 class nuclear bombs and the space program's probe leaves Neptune's orbit, and goes off to go and orbit Pluto. The space program send a new probe to go investigate Venus, Mercury and the Sun too. Research into wave power continues; and more green energy projects begin. This and many other stimulus packages help to bring Nippon out of recession. Optical Camouflage System invented by Mitsubishi while working on a new secret government project. Toyota release the world's first Hybrid car in a bid to help lower pollution. Toshiba releases a series of robot toys for childern, the most popular being the Robot Dog Aibo. Mio Akiyama invents the No-Contact Jacket and sets up the Gali Corporation to produce and sell the no-contact jacket. It is used mainly to protect security personal. However fuelled by her high sales figures to the police and military, Gali begin selling it to the public, marketing it as a personal protection device to stop muggings and rape. Nippon also negotiates with the Commonwealth of Eetoria and Ngainkeha on a deal to let Nippon establish bases in the commonwealth's territory in Eastern Antarctica.
 * Chamoru amps up the military. The Infrared Fever Screening System is invented by Norratsu, who use the system in their buildings to scan for people with a high temperature from a fever or sars. This is mostly done to try prevent diseases being spread at Norratsu and to check for any virus outbreaks. Norratsu also clone a horse, and contribute greatly to the Human Genome Project allowing it to be successfully completed with 99% of the human genome sequenced to 99.99% accuracy.

 * The Commonwealth of Eetoria and Ngainkeha amp up their military and the commonwealth build more solar power plants. They also offer to negotiate over Antarctica but think that nations which actually have territory in the southern hemisphere should get the land.
 * Wonderlaand's military is amped up and Wonderlaand claims parts of Antarctica.
 * Mauritius amps up their military and the nation enters a depression which was mainly caused by the Nipponese recession, but unlike Nippon, Mauritius don't really have the same resources to bring themselves out by themselves.
 * The Federation of the America's federal government continue to fund several hydro and wind power projects to try create clean, non-polluting sources of electricity in the federation, as 15.1% of the federation's power now comes from green sources of power, as work continues to lower pollution, including joint research with Nippon into wave power. The federal military amps up in all of the member states. The Java Log is invented, as a log for your fireplace made from used coffee grinds, which sees some coffee growers & grinders making and using the Java logs to heat their homes with.

 * Sure you can have 2.8 billion Lira, consider it worthless though...

I allready stated that Hungarian use of Yugoslavian ports is practically free of charge.


 * Finland continues to build up its military, build and improve some infrastructure. Shogun Rin Halonen improves the economy. Animation films and Anime and Manga are continued to be made too. Satomi Karjalainen's Satoyori (さとより) Company continues to making/building kurumás while Ayumi Rahikkala's Tōhōnokia continues making phones.

Meanwhile in Eesti Vabariik trams and railways are built and infrastructure is improved. Prime Minister Lüüdia Kask improves the economy a bit more.
 * The Federation agrees, and the federation will host a conference later this year about dividing Antartica between the nation's laying claim to the land.
 * Really?
 * Well you've not really done anything with your conference. Plus you already have the north pole.
 * And that's because you as Ngainkeha and Eetoria and that other nation have not accepted the invitation yet. And the South Pole is worth far more in research value that the North Pole.
 * Please check my last post for the commonwealth. Again, I ask you to please read all new posts since you last played to avoid this stuff in the future. Please can you actually do this, your embarrassing yourself.
 * I did. Wonderlaand's post just makes things worse and the Commonwealth's post only say that it is willing to negotiate, not that it will attend (negotiate could practically mean meeting secretely with some random nation's government and splitting it in half). And if that does mean that, I think it would simpler for us all if you could have responded with a sub-bullet such as this one.
 * I would of mentioned if it was some secret random meeting, giving what has been going on I thought it was quite obvious but nvm I can see how it could of been misinterpreted.
 * Democratic People's Republic of Mystiää continues to build up military. Supreme Leader Aatto Aaltonen continues the invasion of Saigyō, and with support from the SECL manages to make a slightly decent advance. Meanwhile, the enemies are all exterminated on sight.

Flandre-Torni continues construction as well. Meanwhile a film called, Joukkue Venetsia: Euroopassa Poliisi (Team Venice: Europe Police) is released this year, made by the same three people who wrote Molvanîa and Alpenstein.

 * Turkey's fragmentation gets worse, as a citizens explained on Turkey News, "I have been all over the north, and every two miles, it seems like I'm under a new government". The Collectivist have taken most major sea ports. Turkey is left with only 3 cities on the coast, which are all armed to the teeth. On November 4th there is the "Commons Convention" which aimed to unite the many Collectivist, with limited success, the outcome being a confederation with a really weak government. The Islamist have tried a similar, but the only success is in small coalition building. The Democrats (in favour of democracy) start to appear in the North while the Republicans (in favour of Republic) arise in the east.
 * A republic is a form of democracy.
 * No, a republic is where a people elect representatives, which can do whatever they want (may not want to if they want to get re-elected in the more conscious countries), a democracy is where the people are directly involved in decision making. You could make the argument about indirect democracy, but I don't recognise that as legit, it's the scardy-cat way to say republic...
 * Nippon amps up its military and produces 63 more of the new Ennetsu V4 class nuclear bombs and the space program's probe continues travelling towards Pluto. The space program's new probe continues travelling to Venus. Research into wave power continues; and more green energy projects begin.
