Land of Opportunity (Map Game)

Christoper Columbus discovered America (the Caribbean really) one year ago. Colonial Empires will rise, Colonial Empires will fall. Will your Empire stand the test of time? Can you bring glory and wealth to your nation? Will you join the game?

Rules

 * 1) The game begins in 1493 (the year after Christopher Columbus discovered America).
 * 2) Native Americans start with a far lower technological level than Europeans but can catch up.
 * 3) Mods CAN be players, but if they are bias their mod-hood will be revoked.
 * 4) Historical events and revolutions will still take place as well as less-existent revolts (though you can stop them, possibly) but the revolting nation keeps strong cultural ties and names may be different (e.g. OTL Canada revolts against Sweden but will be called Vinland and speak Swedish).
 * 5) Implausible colonization can be pardoned (e.g. Morocco colonizing the Caribbean or China colonizing Baja California).
 * 6) Knowledge of the West will spread slower to eastern nations, but faster than OTL.
 * 7) No colonizing Africa until 1700. This rule can be changed depending on game progression.
 * 8) I am bad at making maps, so players must contribute (when needed).
 * 9) Mod's word is law unless proven wrong.
 * 10) No excessive Alien Space Bats.
 * 11) If I set something up that is historically inaccurate (e.g. UK existing in 1494) correct me.
 * 12) Grammatical Correctness.
 * 13) Game starts with six players.
 * 14) Map will be updated every five turns (five years).

Vote to kick DeanSims from Mod position (Reasons: Slight implausibility, Rampant breaking of Rule #12, trying to colonize before knowledge was at hand):

'''OK, the colonization thing was a mistake, secondly grammar correctness - that's an insane rule. You try using your phone 24/7 to type on here. It's not easy, and slight implausibility, everyone here is slightly implausible.'''

'''I use my phone 24/7 and I almost never have a typo, and you could always go back and check. You're right about implausibility, but you more than others. Ottoman Caliphate? You realize that would NEVER happen, the Ottomans were Sunni, who believe the Caliph would be elected, and the Sultan would never give up that power. Also, the colonization thin, fair enough, but all you have to do is read the post!'''

LET THA GAMEZ BAGIN

1493
'''Mod Event: Knowledge of the New World spreads beyond Spain's borders. Portugal, Morocco and France can now attempt colonization of the Americas. Carib Indians, after their brief encounter with Christopher Columbus, advance slightly in technology.'''
 * China: Emperor Zhū Yòutáng and his advisors pass a series of laws that begin to tackle the corruption within the Chinese government, especially among nobles and the military. He also orders the training of more officers for the Chinese Army, while he begins to prepare for an offensive against the Mongols to the north. Universal education is granted to help increase the literacy of the Chinese people. Establishment of universities in Beijing, Shanghai and Hong Kong begins. A trade agreement is sent to people of Tibet (RNG, please).
 * Tibet D: Accepts the trade agreement
 * Spain: A colony is founded on Hispaniola, and Christopher Columbus himself, is named governor. Spanish explorers begin to chart and discover new lands throughout the new world.
 * Siam: A large military campaign is launched to finally unite all of Indochina, and a military and navy are expanded significantly, and explorers are sent out into Indonesia to map the many islands.
 * Ottoman Caliphate: The Empire is reorganized into the Ottoman Caliphate. The newly proclaimed Caliph immediately announces the declaration of war against the brown nation occupying Egypt, Judea and parts of Arabia and Ottoman forces land near Palestine, Alexandria and, after crossing the Sinai Peninsula, the Arabian coast along the Red Sea. Ottoman forces soon force the battle of Palestine, taking Jerusalem and the area of OTL Israel in the process. Alexandria is also taken and most of the area around the Nile Delta soon is under Caliphate control. Military continues buildup while the Caliph offers Persia a non-aggression Pact and alliance.
 * Pretty sure that the "brown country" is Egypt.
 * I'm more than sure that no one can take Egypt within one year unless it accepts vassalization or Protectorate status. 
 * They don't own it completely yet, and I'm sure the mods will do something if it becomes implausible.
 * I'd say be plausible on the invasion. I've done it on LLL with the US and it got somewhere. If it's going to be plausible, increase the deaths, mention tough resistance, and heavy pressure on the troops.
 * France: With the news of the newly found lands some of the French leadership begins Colonization, sending an envoy of five ships to cross, one Landing in OTL Guajira and another one In OTL Cartagena, found and in similar way of the Spanish the Sea Is mapped though only near the Settlement regions,. While this, an alliance is offered England and Spain and military build up is prepared.
 * Scotland: Alliance offered to England. Ships are built and should be ready to set sail within the next year.
 * Sweden decides to build ships to colonise the New World along with Norway and Denmark . Together, the three countries form a loose federation called the Scandinavian Federation. An alliance is offered to France.
 * France agrees on the Alliance with Sweden
 * England: Agrees with the alliance with Scotland and asks to name it the British Alliance. Builds up ships to prepare to settle in the New World . Modernization begins and the army and navy is expanded.
 * Mod: Knowledge hasn't spread to you guys yet. Wait a little bit.

1494
Mod Event: Egyptians manage to fight back heavily (used RNG for severity +1 for defending homeland, structured algorithm will be put together soon), and manage to reclaim all the Nile Delta and parts of Palestine, but Jerusalem  itself is not taken. Knowledge of the New World spreads farther: the Ziyyandis, Hafsids, Hanseatic League, and England can now colonize the New World.
 * Ottoman Caliphate: The Ottomans launch, another offensive from Palestine, and with heavy casualties due to Egyptian resistance but manage to take all land north of the Sinai Peninsula while Ottoman forces link up at Suez after Ottoman forces retake the Delta. The Ottoman Army also reaches Mecca and through bitter fighting and casualties takes the holy city and all land south of Mecca previously controlled by Egypt. The Caliphate is also divided into several provinces, Anatolia, Candar, Rumelia, Byzantine, and Slavenia. Egypt is offered a deal ceding all land east of Suez to the Caliphate in return for Caliphate forces aiding Egyptian expansion west and south.
 * Caliphate Province of Slavenia: Troops are sent to fight Egypt.
 * Caliphate Province of Rumelia: Troops are sent to fight Egypt.
 * Caliphate Province of Anatolia: Troops are sent to fight Egypt.
 * Caliphate Province of Candar: Troops are sent to fight Egypt.
 * Caliphate Province of Byzantine: Troops are sent to fight Egypt.
 * Ottomans offer this peace treaty, ceding everything east of the Sinai to Ottomans while in return Ottomans will aid in Egyptian expansion into Africa and sign a full alliance with Egypt.
 * Egypt (RNG): Accepts.
 * Spain: The navy is expanded. a colony is founded in St. Augustine, FL, and southeast Cuba. the Spanish also expand into Morocco.


 * Spanish colony of Hispaniola: the colony is expanded
 * Mod: I'm not sure what you mean by "expand into Morocco". You can invade Morocco but as it exists currently it is a sheikdom and a civilization currently about as advanced as the Europeans, so no colonizing.
 * PMod: Though you can always launch a war against them. Also, can I update current map to look as it should By 1493?
 * On the old map, it looked like Spain had a dot in Morocco. Sorry for any confusion. 
 * Portugal: Military is expanded. news of the new world is heard, and Ships sail towards the route of Spain, but a storm knocks them off, and they land on what is OTL Long Island. A colony is set up there. Spain is asked for an alliance
 * Siam: Invasion of the Malayan peninsula is undergone with 50,000 soldiers with its navy (two galleons and three galleys), and due to its small size Siam marches across the peninsula and invades their capital (read Talk Page) and manages to conquer, until this point the Siamese encountered little resistance, and this was explained when Malacca pulled all their troops back to their capital (Malacca), and conquer it with great success. Explorers return from the Pacific and Indian Sea, bringing new maps and knowledge. China is asked for an alliance.
 * 1494 Likely Map 1494-PL.png
 * Persia Was divided in East And West Qoyyunlu Naples is independent as well as Aragon and Burgundy Sine dei gloriem (talk) 01:10, February 1, 2013 (UTC)


 * Let's discuss the map on the Talk page.
 * France: Another Colony is Made in OTL New Orleans called in the Same way and and outpost is made in OTL Panama called Nouvelle Nantes, the colonies in Northern Colombia are expanded along the coast between each other. The military is buili up as so does the fleet and the alliance offer to England and Scotland still remains while Spain is offered an alliance as well.
 * The Ming Empire launches an offensive against the Mongol Armies to the north, hoping to destroy the long-time enemy of the Chinese. Meanwhile, a trade agreement is sent to Siam and Joseon. The Emperor orders the increase in funds to anti-corruption agency, transportation, and research/development. Universal education is passed by the emperor and all classes of society from peasants to nobles are allowed to attend either an all girls or all boys school.
 * Siam D: We accept the trade agreement
 * Joseon (RNG): Declines trade agreement.
 * England: Agrees with the alliance with Scotland and asks to name it the British Alliance. Builds up ships and makes a settlement in OTL Quebec. Modernization begins and the army and navy is expanded. Asks Scotland a plan of sending two fleets, one to the New World and one to China. Also, asks Scotland for a joint invasion of Ireland.
 * Scotland: Accepts the British Alliance. Prepares militia for join invasion. four New Fleets are under construction (two for national defense, two for exploration). Accepts the French Alliance. Several Dozen Muskets are made.

1495
'''Mod Event: The Young Turk movement begins early in Turkey and spreads into Persia. Knowledge of the New World spreads farther, Scotland, Ireland, Denmark, Sweden, Aragon, Egypt and Mali can attempt colonization. Siamese ships discover the northern coast of Australia. Carib, Amazonian, Huron and Incan people advance in technology. Incans can now smelt bronze and Hurons manage to steal some guns from the Portuguese. Carib natives are not enjoying the presence of the Spanish and launch a raid, killing about a third of the population in their Hispaniola colony.'''
 * Spain: Aragon becomes part of the Spanish Empire. Colonies are founded in Jamaica, Puerto Rico, and  the Bahamas.
 * Hispaniola: colony is expanded.
 * La Florida: colony is expanded.
 * Cuba: colony is expanded.
 * Siam: Returning troops from the Malaysian peninsula return home, numbering about 45,000 and then meet up with more soldiers, now numbering about 80,000 they march to Khmer to aid in the unification of Indochina (needs algorithm). More explorers are sent to the Northern coast of Australia and begin mapping it. A massive improvement of infrastructure is undergone, to connect the nation with  spiderweb of highways. China is asked for an alliance once more, and colonists are sent to OTL Balabac.
 * England: Asks the Scandinavian Union for an alliance and sends in more troops to Dublin in preparation for its military campaign against Ireland. Builds more ships and settles in OTL NewFoundland, Labrador and Boston. Manchester, Canterbury and York are modernized. The economy has an increase and the military is expanded. The navy is more expanded and the scientists develop a primitive form of a man-of-war. Plans for an all out invasion of Ireland and asks Scotland to join.
 * Scotland: Scottish ships have Landed in OTL Nova Scotia and Colonization begins. Scotland will be fighting alongside England and its allies as part of the British Alliance. Preparation to Colonize a large section of the eastern coast of the new world is underway and a possible empire may or may not be sparked out of this.
 * France: Expeditions into Central America are started and a colony in OTL Nicaragua begins as well as one in OTL Brazil Easternmost Tip and one last Colony is Made in the Mouth of the River Saint Lawrence, The Colonies expand and the Military is build up, Spain is asked for an alliance as well as Austria and Burgundy, and the First French Explorer crosses Panama and reaches what is referred to as the Neptunic Ocean. England and Scotland are asked for a Non-aggression Pact and the First Exploring Campaigns begins in the Pacific Coast of Colombia, with an expedition to the Magnificent empire in the south as some tribes tell the Explorers.

1496
Mod Event: Knowledge of the New World spread farther''. T'he Ottoman Empire, Persia, Prussia, Russia  can attempt colonization. Amazonian, Caribbean, Huron, Seminole, Inuit, Cherokee, Incan, Aztec, and Mayans advance in technology. Aztecs and Mayans can now smelt bronze and make weapons and armor from them, and the Incans begin smelting iron. Amazonians offer the French a trade agreement, Sicily and Sardinia begin to revolt, demanding independence. French explorers meet the Incans.'''


 * Siam: The colony in Balabac expands and controls the small island it rests upon. Colonists are sent to OTL Quezon and OTL San Jose de Buenavista. Invasion of Khmer continues (needs algorithm) . An alliance is asked for with China, the navy is expanded, and explorers are sent farther into Indonesia and northern Australia.


 * Scotland: Most of OTL Nova Scotia is claimed under the name "New Scotland". Preparations to invade Ireland are made and a third fleet is added to the Scottish home navy. Asks England to have Ireland partitioned after the invasion.


 * I'm just going to point out that "Nova Scotia" literally translates to "New Scotland."
 * Exactly :p


 * Sweden starts a colony in OTL Lake Maracaibo. The colony begins to expand.


 * By the way, Daxus, your algorithm is done and you gain 15% of Khmer lands. However, you can continue the war until 1500 and then you could annex the Khmer empire completely.
 * That's what I meant, I just thought I would need continued algorithms.


 * France: Th e offer from the Amazonians in Nouvelle Terre Vertes (New Green Lands) is accepted, the colonies expand, while the expedition group returns to the Panamanian colony, telling stories of a Great Civilization in the south. While this, military is built up and the city of Nouvelle Orleans becomes the Capital of the New Colonies north to the Spanish. While Nouvelle Marseille (OTL Cartagena) becomes the Capital of the ones south to the Spanish colonies. Another colony is made in OTL Rio de Janeiro and OTL Nueva Esparta Venezuela.


 * Holy Islamic Caliphate: The two tiny nations separating the Caliphates lands and quite easily conquers them, annexing them. Caliphate forces then invade the Crimea and prepare to invade Wallachia. T he Caliphate establishes a colony on Canterbury in Australia while a colony is established in OTL Charleston Harbor, and it is named New Antara. The Caliphate also invades and occupies the little remnants of the Byzantine Empire and annexes it, moving the capitol to Constantinople.
 * Caliphate Province of Slovenia: Troops are sent to fight.
 * Caliphate Province of Rumelia: Troops are sent to fight.
 * Caliphate Province of Anatolia: Troops are sent to fight.
 * Caliphate Province of Candar: Troops are sent to fight.
 * Caliphate Province of Byzantine: Troops are sent to fight.
 * Mod: No. So far only Siam knows of Australia and their knowledge is limited to rough maps of the northern coast. The Byzantine Empire was annexed in 1453, and the Crimean Khanate is your vassal.
 * England: Asks the Scandinavian Union for an alliance again and sends in more troops to Dublin in preparation for its military campaign against Ireland. Builds more ships and settles in OTL New York, Philadelphia and Halifax. Manchester, Canterbury and York are modernized. The economy has an increase and the military is expanded. The navy is more expanded and the scientists develop a primitive form of a sloop. Plans for an all out invasion of Ireland and asks Scotland to join.
 * Mod: Portugal got there first.
 * Spain: Spain continues to build the navy. Spain blockades the entrance to the Mediterranean Sea, and only lets vessels of Catholic nations through. Troops are sent to Sicily and Sardinia to put down the revolt. Colonies are founded in Venezuela, Panama and Santa Elena.
 * Hispaniola: colony is expanded.
 * La Florida: colony is expanded.
 * Cuba: colony is expanded.
 * Jamaica: colony is expanded.
 * Bahamas: colony is expanded.

Using and typing on my phone is not easy, especially when I keep getting edit blocked and have to retype everything. (DeanSims: Talk) 03:18, February 4, 2013 (UTC)===1497===

1497
Mod Event: Knowledge of the New '''World spreads, Oman, Yemen, Gujarat, and Vijayanagar can attempt colonization. Knowledge of strange landmass to the south of Indochina spreads to Khmer, Dai Viet  who can now attempt colonization. A French ranch has a problem when a herd of horses break out and run in the direction of the Incan Empire. The Incas, Seminoles, Carib, Yurok, Cherokee, Huron, Sioux and Inuit advance in technology, the Mayans and Aztecs can now smelt iron, Huron discover masonry. ''The Carib natives launch another attack, destroying the Jamaica colony and damaging the Hispaniola colony once more. Contact with the Seminoles and Spanish occurs, and it is not hostile, Amazonians begin being integrated into French colonies, bringing their religion and culture with them. Rebels in Sicily and Sardinia grow in numbers.' 
 * May I say, how could the Incas get horses if my nearest colony is in Panama, and their northern frontier is in Ecuador? I mean, maybe next year or in 1499. After all, the horses would need to cross a lot of jungle to reach them. Sine dei gloriem (talk) 23:02, February 3, 2013 (UTC)
 * I'll edit it, but I would like to point out horses run FAST.
 * Siam: Conquest of Khmer continues. Colonists are sent to OTL Manila, OTL Palawan, OTL Darwin and call the land New Siam. Buddhist missionaries are sent to the Malayan Peninsula, and a Buddhist monastery is opened in Malacca. Scientists begin researching gunpowder and the printing press. Schools open with mandatory grades 1-4.
 * Balabac Colony: Develops and population increases.
 * Philippines Colony: Expands and develops.
 * New Siam Colony: Expands and develops.


 * Holy Islamic Caliphate: The Caliphate annexes its Crimean Vassal and it becomes a province. The Caliphate invades the four or five little states (needs algorithm) in the Caucasus and plows through them easily, annexing them . Caliphate forces then invade Wallachia (needs algorithm). Charleston is expanded. The Caliphate begins to settle the Arabian Peninsula and troops begin to conquer it.
 * Caliphate Province of Slovenia: Troops are sent to fight.
 * Caliphate Province of Rumelia: Troops are sent to fight.
 * Caliphate Province of Anatolia: Troops are sent to fight.
 * Caliphate Province of Candar: Troops are sent to fight.
 * Caliphate Province of Byzantine: Troops are sent to fight.
 * Caliphate Province of Crimea: Troops are sent to fight.
 * Caliphate Province of Caucasus: Troops are sent to fight.
 * Caliphate Province of Charleston: Troops are sent to fight.
 * Caliphate Province of Judea: Troops are sent to fight.
 * Caliphate Province of Mecca: Troops are sent to fight.
 * Caliphate Province of Hejaz: Troops are sent to fight.
 * Mod: First of all, without wars (algorithms) you can't annex anything - not even the two small states from 1496, neither the Caucasus and second, as far as the Ottomans know, Australia doesn't exist. However, you can try to put colonies in Somalia and the East African coast. My advice is that if you want more scoring, make more vassals instead of annexing them.

Can you please do the algorithms?
 * OK, Charleston as in South Carolina, as in North America.

We will pay you, Spain, to allow us access, we beg you.
 * I'm just going to point out this is 21 years after the death of Vlad the Impaler, so I wouldn't recommend invading Wallachia because at this point the Ottomans were afraid of the Wallachians.
 * Another issue, the Atlantic is closed to the Muslims except for Morocco. Spain is now blockading the Gibraltar Strait and your colony will fall unless you make them change. Also, for the Spanish, Panama is pretty much mine, and which part of Venezuela?
 * ​I'm colonizing some part of those which have not been claimed yet. If Panama is implausible, then just scratch it. 
 * My advice to you is to become an ally of the Northern African states or vassalize them. Then you can move troops and ships through North African and sail from Morocco. I, as France, would help you, but at least as far as I know, it could raise some revolts that I don't need.
 * Or you could try to break the blockade. At this point the Ottomans are pretty tough and in a few decades invade Austria.
 * MOD: An unexpected result turned out. The Ottoman Caliphate lost with 36% of its land being taken by the Dulkadir Ramanadanids which means that the Ottoman Empire collapses, to avoid further implausibility, Daxus, Civil War and New Byzantine Empire and Sultanate of Rum? Also the Caliphate of Mecca.
 * Are you suggesting that the Ottomans die and several countries spring out of it?
 * Well, that's more likely than their getting annexed by a country the size of Portugal. So, three years of war, then in 1499 civil war in which the Byzantines and other groups re-emerge and the Balkans and Anatolia end something like this. 1500-Ottoman-fall.png
 * Very well, I flipped a coin so this will be carried out. For the colony in America it will become an independent city-state.
 * Very well. This, people, is the reason I don't go to war too often in map games without being a coalition war, or without being ready for the war. 

Please don't destroy me. I'll stop expanding and you can remove all posts after the Egypt treaty.
 * Inca: Horses are used in the military and the army increases. An explosive black powder is found in one of the horses saddlebags, and production begins to see if it can be used for weapons. Horses also aid in expansion deeper into South America . Explorers discover the Panama colony and ask its owner for trade and an alliance. Research into casting metal begins.
 * Mod: Horses haven't reached you yet, and there is no way in hell that the Incas can produce it at this time, not to mention the horses escaped from a ranch and wouldn't have any packs on them, and for the love of the Four Crown Princes use grammar!
 * ​The Scandinavian Union continues to expand its colony on Lake Maracaibo and establishes a new one in OTL Rio de Janeiro.
 * Mod: People, read other people's posts! France colonized there last turn already.
 * England: Asks the Scandinavian Union for an alliance again and sends in more troops to Dublin in preparation for its military campaign against Ireland. Builds more ships and sends a fleet, similar to Vasco Da Gama's that will hopefully land in China and Siam. Manchester, Canterbury and York is modernized. The economy has an increase and the military is expanded. The navy is more expanded and the scientists develop a primitive form of freight. Begins invading Ireland. (Algorithm please)
 * British Canada: Expands and increases the technology in the settlements, starts trading with the Indians.
 * Mod: I really don't know what you mean by "modernize" because at this time Europe was still a tick or three less advanced than Asian cultures.

1498
'''Mod Event: Knowledge of the New World spreads farther. Siam, Khmer, and China can attempt colonization '''. Knowledge of Northern Australia spreads farther.  Vijayanagar and China can attempt colonization . '''Ottomanistan becomes self reliant and makes trade with the Seminoles. ''All native Americans advance in technology, Inuit discover masonry and Huron discover bronze smelting. ''Due to their close proximity in South America a Swedish-French-Amazonian culture emerges. Escaped horses reach the Incas. Sicilian and Sardinian rebels ask for foreign assistance and pity.'''

'''in the Anatolian Penninsula the war the ottomans started continues without success as the Dulkadir and Ramadanids troops hold the Ottomans as the War continues and the Sultan of the Dulkadir continues convincing the Sultan of The Ramadanids to Fight against the Ottomans. While this, some revolts occur in the regions of the Balkans, in the once regions of the Bulgars, Serbia and Parts of Achaea'''. '''Incas, Aztecs and Mayans didn't have bows. Although they were pretty good technologically, bows were never invented. Also, mustang is so not a plausible name for Incas to name horses.'''
 * Siam:  Invasion   of Khmer continues, colonists are sent to OTL Broome, OTL Laoag, and OTL Cabo San Lucas, ca     lling the peninsula of OTL Baja California "New Malaysia" due to both places being peninsulas. Gunpowder is made but it is not nearly as" explosive as that in guns and research continues, a large paper factory is built in Bangkok and a printing press is made.
 * North Philippines Colonies: Expand and develop.
 * Balabac Colony: Loses colonial title and is integrated into the country.
 * New Siam Colonies: Expand and develop.
 * New Malaysia Colony: Expands and develops.
 * Eh.. I don't think Siam should go too far yet. You've barely reached Australia, and I don't think that Siam could be able to cross the largest ocean of the world yet, without Chinese help - maybe in ten years
 * LOL Nope, at this time the Far East was at about the same technological level as the Westerners.
 * Incan Empire: Strange animals are found and are named mustangs. Mustangs begin to be used to transport goods throughout the empire, increase the settling of the rest of South America. They are also used for archers, and these new units are called Mustang Archers, and they allow the military to be built up. Military buildup continues. The Panama colony is asked for wheat and barley seed and some cattle. We offer maize, llamas and tomatoes in return.

I can make up a name for my horses and I can invent a bow, and I'm quite sure they did.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inca_army#Weapons

'''Every native tribe south of the Mexican-American border didn't have bows and arrows, they used javelins, and Wikipedia is hardly a reliable source. Also, I'm booting you from the game because of terrible grammar, implausibilities (due to lack of historical knowledge), changing nations, and uncrossing yourself out.'''

'''There's no rule against changing nations, and grammar is no reason. It's not as if I'm just putting nonsense. And Mustangs is a made up word for the Inca. It's fine. You're mad at me because of the other map games. And Incas had bows and arrows.'''

http://www.localhistories.org/inca.html

It said they knew of them but didn't use them. If they knew of them, then they could use them, so I added them to my military. Checkmate '''The Americans also know of spears, we ain't using them in our military. GTFO out of my game.'''

I love it when I win
 * Spain: Tales begin circulating throughout the empire about cities of gold, and other such fantastic places. The navy is expanded and the blockade continues. Troops remain in Sardinia and Sicily to hunt down any remaining rebels t hat may still be there.


 * Hispaniola: colony is expanded.
 * La Florida: colony is expanded.
 * Cuba: colony is expanded.
 * Jamaica: colony is expanded.
 * Bahamas: colony is expanded.
 * Puerto Rico: colony is expanded.
 * Venezuela: colony is expanded
 * Santa Elena: colony is expanded. A garrison of troops is sent due to the proximity to the Muslim colony.
 * Panama: Colony is expanded. (I didn't know that this area was undergoing colonization when I posted it, so if it is implausible to put a colony there, then just scratch it out.)
 * Panama, I think, is large enough for more than one colony, but borders will be made eventually. Also, the Jamaica colony was destroyed by the Caribs. What do you mean "may still be there"? They have grown in numbers...
 * France: Military build up continues and the colonies expand, a colony is founded at the mouth of the river called the Alba River (Amazonas,) as it seems a great position for a colony. While this, an alliance is asked of the Scandinavian Union.
 * Scotland: With News of this New 'Australia' Land, ships are built and some of the best explorers around are sent to find/explore/colonize. Colony in North America has expanded.
 * S.S. Mod: No, read the damned mod event.

1499
'''Mod Event: Knowledge of the New World spreads farther. A ll nations but Zulu and Great Zimbabwe can colonize the New World.  Knowledge of Australia spreads farther.  Gujarat, Joseon, Ainu and Satsunan  can attempt colonization. Abdul Alhazred, a Sufi missionary, arrives in Ottomanistan and converts most the population but Sunnis who care little for Sufism leave. Ottomanistan offers Spain a trade agreement, Seminoles, seeing that their attacks are working with little backlash, attack and destroy the Puerto Rico colony. All Native Americans advance in technology. Huron and Inuit can now smelt bronze. ''Native Americans are hit by a terrible plague and 30% of their population dies, and 15% of colonists die.  Sardinia and Trincaria declare independence as the Isles of Italy.'

'''Next turn one lucky nation will be hit by the Series of Unfortunate Events! (RNG Event)'''

Mod: Colonies are NOT expanding, there is a plague.
 * Spain: Troops are sent to attack the rebels and put the Mediterranean states firmly under their control. Troops are also sent to the New World to protect the colonies and destroy the "heathens." The Spanish begin killing and enslaving all natives that refuse to convert to Catholic Christianity. They begin in the Caribbean Islands, and will work their way through Florida into North America. Most of those who convert still become slaves.

Mod Event: Knowledge of Australia spread farther, Persia, Oman, and Majahapit can colonize . ' The Series of Unfortunate Events hits Spain! Granada declare independence, and is backed by military support from Morocco, Savoy offers to buy Sardinia (if refused rebel thoughts remain in Sardinia) and threatens with war if the offer is refused. Carib natives destroy the Puerto Rico colony! Sunnis from Ottomanistan somehow arrive in Trinidad and form Arylanlaristan. The plague continues and 60% of natives and 35% of colonists die and 40% in Spanish colonies before it dies. All native tribes discover masonry, and the Inuit and Huron learn to smelt iron. Aztecs and Mayans receive horses from Incan Traders.'

'In the Balkans revolution breaks out. New nations arise, and the Byzantine Empire Returns, Bigger and Greater than in its Near past, a Venetian-Greek Inhabitant Who's Name is Julius Capuletto (LOL) becomes the leader of the new empire, under the Name of Constantinos Neologos (more LOL)'

'''My bad! '''


 * Spain: Unable to deal with the rebellious provinces at the moment, Spain sells Savoy both Sardinia, and Sicily to boost their Treasury. Spanish troops promptly invade Granada and Morocco (mods do algorithm). The killing of native Carib islanders continues. Due to the rebellions, the Inquisition is widely increased, and many of the "heathens" are also enemies of the state. The Mediterranean blockade continues. The Spanish hear the plea of the Seminoles, and they are told that if they convert and reject their heathenism they will not only be spared, but they will be under Spain's protection (and essentially become a puppet of the Spanish empire.) If they do not, then they will be killed.

Colonies: A wave of panic spreads through the colonies due to the disease. A new "colony" is founded in OTL Nicaragua. Everyone infected with the plague is sent there to live. Soldiers manage to keep order in the colonies for now Seminoles D (Mod): 'Most of our peoples in our northern land have converted to Islam, but all remaining Seminoles will convert, but allow us to stay autonomous.</li> Arylanlaristan D (Mod): We offer a joint cooperation to the destruction of the Caribs.</li></li></li></li></li></li> Spain D: We will only spare the converts. We'll give you time to try to convert the Muslims as well.</li></li></li></li></li></li> Siam: More colonists are sent, land in New Malaysia, OTL San Francisco where they create New Bangkok, while others are sent to Sumatra and Southern Makassar.
