Principia Moderni IV (Map Game)

The Ming Dynasty still rules over the vast lands of China. On the other side of the world, the Hundred Years War continues between England and France. Europe is still stuck in the old ways of feudalism and chivalry while the notions of a New World are considered figments of imagination.

We welcome you to the long awaited fourth expansion of that immortal series. Welcome to Principia Moderni IV! Starting in 1400 AD, this is the dawn of the modern world and the tail end of the Middle Ages. The Renaissance is just kicking off in Europe, while the nations in the western side of the continent are locked in the last gasp of the Hundred Years War. The Muslim world is still reeling from the invasions of Turks and Mongols, with the Caliphate resting in the collapsing Mamluk Egypt and the Ottomans on the rise in Anatolia. Make it count.

The first game was the most successful on the wiki, leading all the way to the modern day with mostly plausible posts and little controversy. The second game reached almost to the modern day, but failed due to a plethora of ASB events and moderator bias. The third game was much more worthy of the first, almost running into implausibility but climbing back into a shining glory by the end. Riding on the latest reforms of map games since the end of PMIII, this is the most logical next step in that evolution. Remember  above all other rules — have fun.

Moderator Strikes
These are strikes for moderators and how they moderate. The same three strikes rules apply. If a moderator is banned from moderating, however, they can still play as their nation. Mod strikes can be delivered in one of three ways: Moderators can be given strikes for the following reasons:
 * 1) If a sufficient number of players (more than half of all players voting) vote to give a moderator a strike.
 * 2) If I, Scraw, give them a strike.
 * 3) If a majority of all mods (ie more than half of the total number of mods, excluding that moderator) vote to give a moderator a strike.
 * 1) Exhibiting bias that would benefit the nation they are playing.
 * 2) Exhibiting bias that would negatively affect a player they have a personal dispute with.
 * 3) Making a ruling that contradicts a proven fact from OTL or an established fact from earlier in the game.
 * 4) Overruling a decision of a majority of moderators.

 * Cologne: The chapter of priests elect a new leader: his name is Baldrich von Hochstaden, and he hails from Neuenahr, south of Cologne. Some people begin to comment upon Baldrich’s footwear and his choice of very very old sandals. Meanwhile, the roads continue to be built in Burgundy and the HRE/Prussia generally, very slowly. Caninites have basically no presence in Cologne or the surrounding nations, and small envoys of canons from Cologne (armed with lecture notes and pamphlets) go out constantly to ensure this is the case. Funds continue to come into Cologne from printing press royalties and general trade. Archbishop Baldrich is very aware of how much money they have, and how well all their hospitals and schools are running, along with their small military. He takes the first year to be careful and plan a Christian approach to his reign. This year, he celebrates the new century with his people and assures them that Cologne is a safe place to live. He is able to meet with several budding young people interested in astronomy and playwriting, the new frontiers of this century, and encourage them to hone their knowledge in the church.
 * Essen: In Neu Deutschland, Adelphinian Canonesses thank the Hospitaller forces for becoming more peaceful with their conversions of natives – potential violence was beginning to worry them. Meanwhile, canonesses in all communities working with colonists in the Hospitaller’s colonies continue to provide advice. The school and infirmary continue to be built, and the abbess of the Neu Deutsch Abbey asks the Abbess-General, Abbess Isengard of Essen, to send the appropriate knowledge and resources. Given that the knowledge in Essen is all stored in the University of Essen, Isengard has a few canonesses write out the most critical information for education and physick (medicine) in a small book. This is almost finished by the end of the year, and printed, but it will not arrive in Neu Deutschland or Tondo (who have also requested a similar book) for a few more years. She calls this book the Adelphinian Missionary’s Guide and is happy to have started something new. In Tondo, both Tondoese and German Adelphinian Canonesses teach and heal the masses, and the curious canonesses in the wilderness start to learn the local customs. As for married Tondoese priests, Abbess Isengard is wary that this may uproot the very premise of being a priest, but understands the Abbess of Tondo’s desire to integrate these Tondoese people further into a Christian community. Accordingly, she writes to His Holiness Pope Innocent VIII for advice.


 * Malaya: There is great debate among the scientific community over the recently proposed heliocentric model. Several small protests state that the heliocentric model is heresy, with protestors being Muslim or Christian. These actions have been seen as a form of extremism, and action has been taken. The King announces that the public is free to have their own ideas, but we will not stand for forceful promotion of ideology. Following Aryavarta and Chinese astronomers, the government announces the construction of a new observatory in Perak. New laws on trade bound for Europe are implemented, loosening the restrictions on certain items. Porcelain is becoming increasingly popular among the population, with the demand for Chinese porcelain pieces rising. Tin mining continues to bring wealth to the nation. Pewter begins to be commonly exported in the form of domestic products. The Malayan Navy sees upgrades, as Chinese cannon technology is transferred over. In terms of medical technology, there is a small increase in the number of Chinese clinics and the demand for medicinal herbs. Diplomats are sent to Europe to make Malaya more well known.
 * Hindus and Buddhists dont give a damn about helio or geocentrism as it is not a major part of the religions. Secondly scientific advancement and newer theories have never been opposed by Hindus. (A reason it continues to this day). Secondly how did you get the heliocentric model? - Dev

 * Gurkani Dip: If you allow the Gurkani to open a mosque in Malaya, the Gurkani offers Malaya the latest firearms (Gurkani firearms are the greatest in game).
 * Malayan Dip: We allow the construction of a Gurkani mosque as we would any other temple.
 * Knights Hospitaller: A new Grand-master has been selected an his name is Louis de Ponte. He begins his reign in the new century and he says; "This is a new century, and a New World where we must bring the light of the lord into the darkness so salvation may be found for the lost and we may find a new future. We must build a new civilisation in these lands by the Book and the pen or by the blood and the Sword, we must carry the light of civilisation into the unknown." We have a population of around 59,580(Colonists and 1% growth) and have a navy of ten ships. In New Rhodes, we begin building up our industry by offering grants for skilled colonists. Immigration speeds up to 1000 a year due to land grants. Due to our small size our population can only provide 590 soldiers though we make sure that they are highly trained. We have finished the restructuring and rearming of the military into a modern army trained in Iberian tactics. With expanded Papal funding and Burgundian investment we begin to restart expansion soon after the reorganisation of the military. We commence the grand journey and we begin our trip across the Seminole lands intent on converting the tribes peacefully, as well as finding allies and trade. However we bring 200 soldiers to provide security and orders are to help eradicate local bandits and convert the survivors as well as subjugating hostile tribes (tribes that deliberately attack us and are extremely hostile) who we will convert (Three years). We also attempt on converting more native chiefs in order to gain more influence in the area and so we send our most experienced, trustworthy, and pure preachers as well as gifts to help convert them. We also begin spreading around the idea of a confederacy of the tribes, of a nation where all may prosper and discover new lands and we hope through this journey we might be able to usher one into fruition.
 * Maryland: The colony of Maryland is small with around 23,000 colonists and 6000 native converts. We build a medical school in Maryland in order to combat new diseases while we also build a ship yard to help with trading. We continues colonising Charlotte country by 25px (50px total). We increase our efforts in sending missionaries north hoping to convert more of the natives while we also attempt to convert native leaders, we also focus on gaining more influence with the Seminoles in the north and after many years we seem to be making significant progress. The natives have been almost completely assimilated into our society after decades of conversion and education.
 * New Crete: It has a population of 4250, Andros Island is fully colonized though we halt expansion and consolidate.
 * Neues Deutschland: We settle in OTL Alabama in OTL Mobile county with a population of 5,000 colonists who are majority German. We have fully colonized Mobile County and now expand 25 px (50 px) into the Baldwin colony. We begin sending experts to start industry in the colony as well as to set up farms and plantations. We send an expedition of soldiers and missionaries to make peaceful contact with the natives and help convert the natives. We begin to try to make peaceful relations with the natives and prevent further conflict.


 * Aryavarta: The English are asked to help the navy modernize, upgrade its tactics, train our admirals and supply modern naval technology. We also request to buy advanced frigates and schooners from England. (PERSON RESPONSE). All these will be availed in exchange for goods. Maharaja Maharana Pratap dies. This leads to a power struggle between his son Raja Amar Singh and another Rajput, Raja Man Singh. Majority of the council supports Amar Singh but Man Singh claims the throne as being the elder and accuses Amar Singh as trying to take the throne on account of his father. Finally after the turmoil in the council and significant support of the people of Rajputana for Man SIngh. Man Singh is crowned the Maharaja as Maharaja Man Singh of Amber while Amar Singh becomes the Chief Minister. Amar Singh ,being younger and Man SIngh taking no interest is state affairs, swiftly gathers support of the council and the state officials. He plans to increase his powers as Chief Minister and rule himself.
 * England Dip: English merchants agree to support Aryavarta in their naval program.


 * Korea: Noticing the stagnation of Chinese sciences and mathematics due to excessive emphasis on imperial examination and philosophy, the Empress sends a fleet of a hundred scholar converts and a hundred sailors to the Papal States to study. Meanwhile, with serfdom formally abolished, yangban nobles are dismayed and try to orchestrate semi-violent protests and revolts to convince the central court to reverse the edict. As part of a compromise, a head tax system is used to hire labourers. However, this new edict has also exacerbated the settlement of the Manchu dominion, with approximately a fifth of its inhabitants of Korean extraction. This "Koreanization" is more pronounced within the elite, with a fifth being of mixed ethnicity or have assimilated. To counter "Koreanization", the Manchu and Nivkh languages are elevated as an official language, and people are encouraged to retain the usage of their native language and instead use Korean as a lingua franca. As the food supply experiences a surplus, many peasants transition to cash crops (principally cotton and tea) and silk production. Commerce is promoted, with lucrative goods such as brocades, jewelries, ginseng, tea, porcelain, and other manufactures being exchanged. With the abundance of copper in the North, many copper bullion and coinage are minted and slowly phase out silver as the principal currency used. As a result of this wealth, any wealthy aristocrats adopt an increasingly decadent and luxurious lifestyle, visiting kisaeng houses and purchasing excessive luxury items. Christianity, the second largest religion, continues to become heavily prominent, with churches being built in Hanseong and the surrounding Gyeonggi province. Whilst Confucianism as a religion declines, many of its doctrines are adopted by both Korean Buddhism and Nestorianism, which as helped eased the conversion process and develop a sense of distinction from Western forms of Christianity.
 * Papal States: The conservative Angelicum faction hand Pope Innocent their letter, which quickly bcomes known as the 'Frascati Letter', after the suburbicarian diocese in which is was written. The letter essentially summarises the faction's conerns with the Church: that an overly-liberal understanding of the Council of Cologne has led to laxity in the Church generally. More specifically, they argue that the recent upsurge in heresies in territories influencd by the Northern Rite (they list the Burgundian irregularities, the Caninites, inculturation of Confucian practices in the East, and Heliocentrism as examples, despite the latter theory being cleared of heresy by the Inquisition last year). In concluding the letter, the Angelicum clerics demand that the Pope order an investigation into the orthodoxy of the Northern Church, as well as certain practices of the Immaculata Order in the foreign missions. The Pope receives the letter, and spends about a month processing it before beginning the process of responding. His Holiness writes to the Patriarch of the Northern Rite (Prussia), requesting that he come to Rome to discuss creating an equivalent of the Inquisition or other doctrine-watchdog for the Northern Church, to crack down on any heresies that may appear. In other news Pope Innocent VIII personally welcomes the hundred Catholic convert scholars from Korea, and they are soon enrolled at one of the Pontifical universities in Rome. In yet further news, the Pope receives the letter from the Adelphinian Abbess of Tondo late in the year. Intrigued by the missionary potential for some married men to become priests (as they do in the Eastern churches), yet aware that the Angelicum faction would likely be highly opposed to the move, the Pope establishes a Theological Committee to discuss the matter, composed of both Angelicum-affiliated, Immaculata, and unaligned 'moderate' theologians.
 * Gurkani Sultanate: Firearm technology continues to develop. The 500 War Elephants purchased from Aryavarta are brought into military service. More OTL Ottoman style public baths are made. Aquaducts quality improve. The military continues to grow. Meanwhile, the City of Tehran is growing massively. It is growing as part of the population boom.
 * Banten Emirate: More persianizaiton happens. Persian style mosques are build, and Yizidi Shia Islam spreads across Banten. The Banten military is trained in the art of Islamic warfare and the use of the Turko Mongol Composite Bow and Gurkani Firearm.


 * Rashidun Calipahte: Reconstruction after the civil war continues. A new cultural identity starts to emerge, as many new works of art, literature, and science goes in a whole new direction from the previous dynasty. Paintings, depicting more ambitious murals of scenes from the Quran, emphasize dramatic postures highlighted with darker shades. A new form of short poetry emerges, loosely based on European sonnets, consisting of 14 lines in alternating meter. Meanwhile, Caliph Salih continues his work to slowly transition the Muslim slave trade into indentured servitude, in the spirit of Caliph Al-Mahdi. The Coptic Church grows closer in diplomacy with the Caliphate, as they helped to overthrow the Abbasids in the Sixth Fitna. While working to expand trade in the Indian Ocean and East Asia, the Caliph works to improve relations with Aryavarta, and include them in the Arab-Indian Company, whose goals are more secular for mutual economic benefit. Missionaries are sent to various part of Africa and southeast Asia, including Java to support Sunni Islam there. Economic support is given to other Muslim nations including Bahamani and Tali. When the Ulema debated various names for the new government, they settled on Rashidun (literally, "wisely-guided ones") for a specific reason: In the whole history of Islam, the Rashidun Caliphate in the first generation after Muhammad was the only time the office of Caliph passed based on holiness and wisdom, and not on hereditary basis. This most closely matches the current, more enlightened government of the Caliphate. In order to bring greater attention to this return to the Rashidun government, the Caliph proclaims solemn recognition and celebration this year as the 1000th anniversary of the Conquest of Mecca (in the Islamic Calendar). The fez becomes a popular choice of fashion across the Caliphate.


 * United Bulgarian Tsardom: The empire suffers a major issue this year following the fallout of the council which brings many groups into conflict with each other. Multiple nobles mostly those still with manpower and money refuse to adhere to the absolute authority of the Tsar raising their own armies as a result. While still delcaring beholden to the empire and unwilling to let the wealth and prosperity it has brought to the region die, many of the nobles wish to establish a more powerful Diet to limit the Tsars power. Tsar Vasili on the other hand refuses this call and a clear division breaks out. The Tsar rallies the Asen and Velitchkov families the only high noble families in Bulgaris left Barring the Tsars Dracultesti Family. The Basarab family reigning in Bucharest and Targoviste also joins the Tsar as does the newly powerful Serbian Dragovic family who have become the relative governors of Serbia under the Tsars Blessing in recent years. On the opposite side, the majority of the Greeks spearheaded by Athens try to seize their chance and make a bid for the whole empire establishing Phillip of Corfu as their clear cut leader, while a rather weak leader he does serve as the first rally to the greeks since the last Byzantine heir tried to reclaim the empire generations ago. He does however manage to gain the support of the Albanians, the City of Montenegro, some mish mash of Bulgarian and vlacho-bulgarian nobles who disagree with the Tsars absolutist tendencies even without insane orders to accompany, they see horrors for the future. This however brings Phillip of Corfu into conflict with some components of his supporters as over half his available military force wishes to preserve the empire in its current state. Even the small force of Serbians who wish to see a more limited form of monarchy, side with the bulgar elements of Phillips force. Tsar Vasili on the other hand does not take this lightly and in an attempt to clamp down on further support for Phillip in Greece which the Tsar has more or less left to the counter force in Southern Greece for the time being. He raises the entirety of the Imperial legion prominantly marching 36,000 troops to Moldavia and securing the area in short order promising to further invest into the region and build it up and modernize it in exchange for their loyalty and support he also handsomely pays many of the nobles who otherwise wouldnt support him in Moldavia. While now away from home the nobles technically in revolt against the Tsar against establishing further absolutist policies and centralization of the imperial system, Tsar Vasili confiscates their lands in in a major push demolishes their castles seeing them as an "unwarranted economic drain". The Nobles who sided with the Tsar agree to do much of the same with the high nobility and other pretigious supporters and their families having relocated their wealth and power outside of their castle holdings into investments and buisiness ventures over the past century. Tsar Vasili brings the full force of the Imperial legion to bear and taking further control of State financies makes sure it is by his hand and word the Legion is paid ensuring their loyalty and service into the future. One of the newer policies implemented by the Tsar as well is the implementation of the still developing Modern Slavonic officially into the administration and noble facets of the empire. This shows great issue for the Domestic merchants and artisans who would be forced to learn this Slavonic language across the board in order to effectively conduct buisiness across the empire however with it becomming such a popular topic within the Bereaucracy and Scholars of the Empire many universities are known to have a swift uptake in the learning and propogation of the Updated Slavonic tongue. Vasiligrad and Tarnovo is significant with dedicated communities taking up the language in Belgrade, Sarajevo, Tarnovo, and Bucharest as well.
 * Pontus: We develop the ports of Tskhumi, Batumi and Trebizond, in order to sell gold, silver and iron. Ottoman goods are shipped through Tskhumi and Trebizond towards Vladimirgrad, Vasiligrad and other western ports. We begin developing the capital of Batumi further and give Trebizond many trading rights, to appease the Greek Pontic population. 
 * Kingdom of England and Ireland: As we introduce the voluntary transportation system to Arcadia we start a campaign of persuasion. A report is written by 'colonists' stating about the fertility of the land, the abundant space and regularity of trade and that it is the promised land free of poverty. This leads to the start of an economic migration from England, Wales and Ireland as land is closed off in these countries leading to a growing poor. the rate of enclosure continues to remain high leading to people choosing to move abroad to the colonies in Arcadia with around 2,500 moving a year. During a dispute over land between the O' Donnells and the O' Neils the King attempts to mediate the dispute and finds in favour of the O' Neils. Hugh Roe O' Donnell raises his banner in rebellion and while his rebellion initially gains support from Irish lords who dislike the English King and he lays siege to Derry. The English assemble a force of 2,500 in a matter of months supported by Irish auxiliary breaks the siege and Hugh is killed in the battle. His younger brother Rory O' Donnell who falls back and starts a rebellion in Ulster supported by a number of other Irish clans after initial English forays fail as the rough Irish terrain makes guerrilla fighting easy. Desperate to stop the growth of the revolt the King reinforces his army in Ireland with the nobles mobilising a force of 15,000 to send to Ireland and in attempt to force Rory O' Donnell to heel and cower the other lords the English burn a number of towns on the coast while the rest of the English army moves to confront the rebelling Chieftains in Connacht. The rebellion and the fightback continue. The Kingdom of England has a population of 4.1 million and Ireland 1.2 million people. The road and canal system is maintained by the Crown. Construction of Portsmouth castle is expected to be finished by 1503. The son of the Scottish bloke and Anne continues to grow. New Canterbury continues to establish itself.
 * Sultanate of the Maghreb: The Sultan Amid ibn Musa Al-Abbas begins to work on modernizing the army by requesting men from 17-36 to train in the army, as the navy is improved on to reach the new world and to defend trading ships. Urban centers begin to grow as trading centers and means of living begin to spread mostly in cities on the coast. We send Muslims missionaries to Angola. Coastal cities are made into trading post in the Desert to help rise the pop. The Navy is worked on as Rabat is made a center of naval action, as Rabat is were most sailors are trained making a Rabat Naval school, that holds harsh rules, as Ali al Akbar is picked as the naval officer and begin to work on a strong navy.The work on the army is worked on as people begin to be trained with fire arms. The idea of a New World is spread convincing some people to support the idea. We send an invite to Mali to open up trade (MOD). The army is Libya pulls back to the Maghrib. We begin to trade with Central Asia meet them in Baghdad, buying Camels and Winter Gear, The Sultanate begin to work on mass producing Arms and begin to copy European way of growing food.A Imam named Ali Basim begins to think of the idea of expanding the picking of the Sultan to the people in a way as his ideas begin to gain steam amoung the youth. We send a trade envoys, along with sending Imams to spread Islam in West Africa mostly in Benin to win them over. The Sultanate begin to expand into the Atlantic coast line by 15px. The city Algiers is made the capital of the Sultanate as its population grows. The Sultan begins to work on cities by opening markets and trading centers mostly at Algiers. we begin to shadow the Caliphate trading ships following them to trade with other nations. We send an envoy to the king of Zaire (Kongo) if he would he open up mosques in Muslim areas in Zaire as we send our high Imam to tell him about Islamic Unity. The spread of Islam in Zaire is less about shoving it down people belief but more of gaining trust of people by giving out food and things like that, after gaining trust of people we begin to spread Islam into Ziyi (Kongo). An envoy of 100 men, 12 winter camels and 8 ships (and food and water) make their way to the New World with firearms and land in Rio Gallegos. The men sent are known to be a mix of Troops,Imams,Bedouins and traders (that lived in the mountain or cold areas) (Kurds and Arabs).) And the group sets up a camp and a group of 10 make there way looking for tribes in the areas to set up talk and trade, while a ship is sent back describing the place as "Chili". The Sultan likes this idea and plans to invest in the Camp along with more people to send a invite is sent to Persia for Sunni Mountaineers to join this Envoy (as most of them live in Cold Rocky areas).
 * Persian Sunni Mountaineer Dip: 500 Sunni Persian Mountaineers answer the call to travel the Morocco to eventually go to the new world, and are armed with the latest Gurkani Firearms and warhorses.
 * Maghrib Dip: we accept up to 200 of them and are put on a list for the next settler.
 * Maiam: Trade experiences a boom as Maian foods and goods begin to reach the wider European market, and demand increases. With Portuguese aid, the nation begins to rebuild and repopulate. A minor population boom begins in the native Mayan and Aztec populations, as well as the Portuguese settlers. In some cases, intermarriage results in what are known as Mextizo children. Expansion continues along the southern border, focusing on the coast. Work continues to renovate and update existing buildings and roads, and to create plans for future upkeep and renovations. There is some internal turmoil as the dominant Mayans impose their laws and culture on the conquered Mexica. Former Mexican royalty is forced to marry into Mayan lines. Small rebellions are put down. (Note: Mayan and Mexican refer to the cultural groups, Maian refers to the nation as a whole and its government.)
 * Russia: The buildup of Moscow continues. We continue to expand 25px in Siberia. Czar Dimitri looks onwards towards the civil war sparking in Bulgaria and wonders whether he should send troops to intervene on the monarchy's behalf. Dimitri however is getting old and his wife Marie returns to Russia. He sets his son Jean up to be the next Czar of Russia at the age of 28 of 1600.

 * Kingdom of Burgundy: Having seen England embroil itself in civil war, King Henri convenes the States-General in an emergency session. It is decided that the domestic situation in England allows Burgundy the opportunity to regain honor lost to England in its betrayal of them and Prussia. A state of war is declared against England. This declaration is not immediately made public, but is instead announced when a 30,000 strong army arrives at the gates of Calais. Meanwhile, King Henri takes command of the navy once more, and together with the sizable Hanseatic Navy (permission to include them given by Nk) set about blockading the English coasts. A three hundred strong fleet, including Burgundys ninety galleons, under Henris direct command is situated to contest the main English fleet should they emerge from their harbors at Medway or Portsmouth, while most of the rest of the Burgundian-Hanseatic naval force (1,100 ships) maintains the blockade. Meanwhile, an expeditionary force is assembled and dispatched across the Atlantic under the command of Admiral Frans Wacht, with the purpose of liberating New Netherlands, and threatening England's other colonies.

 * Knights Hospitaller: The Knights have a have a population of around 60,500(Colonists and 1% growth) and have a navy of ten ships. In New Rhodes, their is a build up in our industry by offering grants for skilled colonists. Immigration speeds up to 1250 a year due to land grants and the religious turmoil.

However we bring 200 soldiers to provide security and orders are to help eradicate local bandits and convert the survivors as well as subjugating hostile tribes (tribes that deliberately attack us and are extremely hostile) who we will convert (Three years). We also attempt on converting more native chiefs in order to gain more influence in the area and so we send our most experienced, trustworthy, and pure preachers as well as gifts to help convert them while we try to get the Christian chieftains under our control. We also begin spreading around the idea of a confederacy of the tribes, of a nation where all may prosper and discover new lands and we hope through this journey we might be able to usher one into fruition. We are concerned with the religious turmoil in Europe and so we form a branch of the Inquisition known as the "Gladius ex Fide" or "The sword of faith" to purge heretics from our colony. We are concerned with the rise of the Black Eagles and other religious turmoil though we cannot do anything due to our distance. We are also concerned with the settlement of Hesperia by the Infidel and we call for others to take action. The knights feel helpless as they are too far away to take serious action though we are prepared to defend Christendom where we can.
 * Maryland: The colony of Maryland is small with around 25,000 colonists and 6000 native converts. We build a medical school in Maryland in order to combat new diseases while we also build a ship yard to help with trading. We finish colonising Charlotte country and we colonise Sarosota county by 25px (25px total). We increase our efforts in sending missionaries north hoping to convert more of the natives while we also attempt to convert native leaders, we also focus on gaining more influence with the Seminoles in the north and after many years we seem to be making significant progress. The natives have been almost completely assimilated into our society after decades of conversion and education.
 * New Crete: It has a population of 4250, Andros Island is fully colonized though we halt expansion and consolidate.
 * Neues Deutschland: We settle in OTL Alabama in OTL Mobile county with a population of 5,000 colonists who are majority German. We have fully colonized Mobile County and now expand 25 px (75 px) into the Baldwin colony. We begin sending experts to start industry in the colony as well as to set up farms and plantations. We send an expedition of soldiers and missionaries to make peaceful contact with the natives and help convert the natives. We begin to try to make peaceful relations with the natives and prevent further conflict.
 * Aryavarta: Relations with the new Rashidun Caliphate are improved. Though Aryavarta is not interested in being a part of the Arab-Indian Company (As that is too ASB considering the circumstances). Though the council decides to be on better terms with other Muslim nations and maintain warm relations with them. Trade with the Gurkani surges, as does trade with Oman. Aqueducts had been in use for a long time now, mostly in major cities to work with their well laid out sewer system. Now these systems are incorporated into smaller towns as well. Sanskrit and Hindi literature continues to flourish as Magadhi revives itself in Bengal and Kalinga, slowly gaining popularity. Gwalior is established as a city and continues to grow. The TICI continues to gain influence. The TICI with the University of Surat and Ujjain adopts the fully heliocentric model after 2 years of debate and research. The Universities of Surat and Ujjain are now controlled by the TICI. Proper schools are established in big cities as the pathshala system penentrates deeper into other villages and remote areas leading to a growing level of literacy. A proper document containing of all the guiding principles and laws and other principles of the government is laid down. This document is known as the Rajya Shastra. This can be changed only by members of the Council. The Maharaja is not popular and is not interested in affairs of the state, giving no attention to the council and its decisions. Under such a condition, the state is being run by the Council with the Chief Minister Amar Singh at its head. In the kings absence, Amar Singh and his supporters swiftly change many laws and principles, thus strengthening the position of the Chief Minister. Amar Singh is also head of the army and enjoys support in the army. The English help us in building new ships. With the help of English merchants and English technology, the navy is upgraded. Sails are improved and the construction of 50 galleons begins. Many frigates and schooners are also being constructed in the nations ports. The English set up a trading post in Kandla. 200 advanced schooners and frigates are purchased from England. Of the 1300 ships - 300 (St1), 500 (St2), 500 (St3). The 500 St3 ships are going to be fully replaced to St2 by 1615. The English help in the training of naval cadets.
 * Iran Dip: The Sultanate of Iran seeks recognition from Aryavarta.
 * Papal States: The sudden resurgence in the Hitlerian heresy through the Italian peninsula takes Pope Innocent VIII by surprise. Under pressure from the Angelicum faction to take a tougher stance on heresy generally, and faced with an apocalyptic messianic cult close to home, the Pope decides to kill two birds with one stone. He writes a solemn Papal Encyclical, Regnans in excelsis. In it he strenuously condemns Hitlerian eschatology as a dangerous heresy, and denounces his gang as a dangerous army of fanatics bent on starting an apocalyptic war. The encyclical contains an exhortation to all Princes, states, clergy, and individuals of the Italian Peninsula to unite behind the True Faith and destroy the Hitlerian heresy through all means possible. The Encyclical also contains strenuous condemnations of Caninism and other heresies, and a suggestion that a doctrinal body similar to the Inquisition could be established for the Northern Church. Regnans is precisely the result the Angelicum faction was looking for, and they take it as a green light to use their influence in the Inquisition to forcefully put down the Hitlerian heresy, as well as influence local nobles to assist them. The more moderate Immaculata Order is also galvanised by the Encyclical, sending teams of preachers to the affected areas and setting up presses to write and distribute pamphlets and handbills containing orthodox eschatology. In other news, the Theological Committee investigating into the possibility of the Adelphinian Order allowing married Tondoese men into the presbyteriate has several meetings. The Immaculata theologians state that, as clerical celibacy is a discipline and not a doctrine, viri probati (i.e., mature married men who have proven themselves as faithful to the Church) could be admitted as priests in Missionary areas. The more conservative Angelicum-aligned theologians agree that clerical celibacy is only a discipline which could be changed. However they argue that given the lengthy struggle to enforce the disciplne in the Latin Church, relaxing it now could lead to a relaxation of clerical discipline more generally. Besides, they argue that a married man would be too occupied with his wife and family, and thus could not properly commit to acting in persona Christi. One of the moderate, unaligned theologians brings up a tangentially relevant point (mainly because it is his pet subject): the diaconate. For several centuries now, the diaconate has become maligned, relegated to a mere stepping-stone for those young men destined for the priesthood. This theologian aims to restore it as a substantive order in its own right. As such, he proposes that viri probati be permitted to take minor orders, and the diaconate. In other news, Missions in Japan, Korea, China, Southern Africa, and the entire New World continue.
 * Venetian Dip: The Doge of Veneto requests the Pope to send the Inquisition in the Republic of Venice to prevent the Hitlerians from taking over his Duchy.
 * Papal Diplomacy: Done.
 * Veneto: The Doge of Venice gives more funding to the University of Venice. The Doge of Veneto, -name-, uses its troops to quell the Hitlerian thinking, either by burning Hitlerians alive, or by executing them with a firing squad. However many members of his family, including his oldest son and heir, -name- , get increasingly more attracted to the Hitlerian Heresy. The Doges oldest son and heir, -name- is also seduced by a young girl at the age of 16, that has converted to the Hitlerian heresy and is very fanatical about her beliefs, persuading him to secretly convert to the Hitlerian heresy. The Doges oldest son and heir, -name-, secretly raises -max troops- from his holdings and prepares to depose his father and take over the Duchy of Veneto as the Doge in order to save his poor brethren from his fathers rage. The doges oldest son and heir, -name-, requests Hitler to invade his fathers duchy and support his claim to the throne, helping him depose his father, as he has secretly converted to his teachings. (Mod Response)
 * (*This is a test like post, as i am not sure about the nature of Venice, i asked various users/mods if Venice is Feudal or a republic and got no response, pls enlight me if you know something more, the only thing ik is that Lx turned Veneto(Venice) feudal centuries ago. I need some up to date information.)
 * Venice was more or less reset under Austria and was freed explicitly by the Bulgarian Empire during the War of Austrian succession. With this event and the previous one Venice is rebuilding trade power and has allied with Florence and is politically aligned with Bulgaria. -Feud
 * Kingdom of England and Ireland: As we introduce the voluntary transportation system to Arcadia we start a campaign of persuasion. A report is written by 'colonists' stating about the fertility of the land, the abundant space and regularity of trade and that it is the promised land free of poverty. This leads to the start of an economic migration from England, Wales and Ireland as land is closed off in these countries leading to a growing poor. the rate of enclosure continues to remain high leading to people choosing to move abroad to the colonies in Arcadia with around 2,500 moving a year. A factory is set up in Kandlha which brings Indian goods to Europe. The Irish rebellion continues with a series of coastal burning by the English but many of the Irish lords combine and march east to Dublin. The English are defeated in the field at first and the Irish lay siege to Dublin. As 5,000 reinforcements are shipped in to Dublin and a series of sorties are launched weakening the Irish army. A relief army from Belfast is formed and marches to confront the besiegers and the Irish retreat from the Pale. The English army moves forward to the River Shannon doing a scorched earth strategy while advancing and positions it's army at Athlone. Cork and Limerick are seized from the sea and their defences are garrisoned. The Irish chieftains with the threat of destruction of their lands and so with an offer of a pardon most return. In Ulster Rory O' Donnell still refuses and calls upon Irish people to join him in rebellion. The peasant call to arms is met with mixed reactions while the English army prepares to move into Ulster. The Kingdom of England has a population of 4.1 million and Ireland 1.2 million people. The road and canal system is maintained by the Crown. New Gwynedd expands 50px to the south while Avalon expands outwards away from the river and New Amsterdam expands 20px to the north. Work on astronomy at Oxford and Cambridge continues. Construction of Portsmouth castle is expected to be finished by 1603. The son of the Scottish bloke and Anne continues to grow while they have another child this time a daughter. New Canterbury revives 500 indentured servants and so expands accordingly.
 * Iranian Sultanate: This state was the Gurkani Sultanate until this year, when a general, Farzad Souroushpour, launched a revolt against the Gurkani State quickly seizing the east. (He had the war elephants and the latest artillery). He soon pushed west, seizing Isfahan and Tehran. He also quickly won over the loyalty of the Banten Emirate once he overthrew the Gurkani. He has replaced the Gurkani Sultanate with a an elected monarchy with a Sultan being elected by a council, and has named the new state "Iranian Sultanate." Ottoman style public baths continue to open up, and Aquaducts improve. Sultan Souroushpour seeks to improve ties with Aryavarta.
 * Banten Emirate: The Banten Emir welcomes this change of power. Persianization resumes in Banten, with Persian style mosques and cities being built. Persian Script is adopted by the populace
 * I think you need to come up with a better reason to call yourself fatimid. Unlike rashidun, that refers to a specific family decended from Fatima. Note the otl persian dynasty at this time, safavid, was named after a smaller enclave of that same family -Nate
 * What is Banten? -scraw
 * Rashidun Caliphate: the 1000th anniversary of the conquest of Mecca (in the Islamic Calendar) is met with astounding celebration, bringing many people back into skilled labor since the end of the Sixth Fitna. Although many plays and bards were held with festivals in Syria and Mesopotamia, the main event was seen in the city of Mecca itself, where the annual pilgrimage on the 14th of Al-Hajj were held with particular reverence and ceremony. This continues to help transition into the new era of culture in the Caliphate, focused more on individualism and civic duty. Caliph Salih and the Ulema work to create a more expansive and comprehensions education system, in order to supply more skilled labor to meet the demand. Relations continue to be improved with Aryavarta. Missionaries are sent to spread Islam more in Africa and Southeast Asia, including Malaya, Borneo, and Java. The Ulema appoints a Berber Imam Zayn At-Talut as Ayatollah of the Al-Alum Al-Jadeed (New World), while Berber Imam Uthman Ibn Adfal is made Kazir of Tiliya (OTL Chile). These are sent with 2,000 men and women from Syria to Morocco, eager to start a new life after their homes were lost in the civil war. The population has been found to have grown to 49 million people across the entire Caliphate. People in the Caliphate wear fezzes now. Fezzes are cool. Turkish mercenaries and loans of money are sent in support of Philip of Corfu in Bulgaria.
 * Iranian Diplomacy: The Iranian Sultanate seek to strengthen ties with the Rashidun, and reminds the Rashidun that it is also an elected monarchy that overthrew a tyrannical nobility (Gurkani). The newly elected Sultan only wishes the Rashidun had helped bring down the Gurkani faster.
 * United Bulgarian Tsardom: The Tsar having deployed his fleet around the empires waters to prevent outside interference catches exactly what he expected. Money and arms bought with said loan money are intercepted along the sea lanes around the empire and even some mercenaries, some of which have already landed in support of Phillip. However in response to the heathen mercenaries many of the more devout Serbian and Bulgar forces withdraw their forces from Phillips army and send envoys to the Tsar delcaring their re-alignment with Imperial policy. This seals off the remaining holdouts outside of Greece which cave to the Tsars preassure and comply with his policy. While Phillip has been weakened his army still numbers 30,000. This however stands as nothing against the 90,000 strong legion which closes in and successfully breaks its way into during the Winter months surprising Phillip and catching him off guard as he fortifies the area. While the offensive into greece occurs however another threat arises. A Distant cousin of the Tsar having collected significant funding and force abroad challenges Vasili's claim to the throne, saying "This revolt of the south is from your inept management, only I can rule this empire". Vasili however openly retorts in a letter back to his cousin Alexei saying "The only thing thats been mismanaged is how comfortable my distant family feels in challenging my authority". In an unexpected move however, the Serbian legions commanders explicitly request that Vasili lead them into combat against Alexei. They claim that Alexei due to his familial and dynastic connections has oppressed and commited clear atrocities against Serbians and even Bulgars in the border cities where much of his land is. Vasili agrees and begins planning with his commanders many of which hope to get some revenge with many soldiers having lived through some of the insanity first hand. The force of 20,000 detaches from the Southern Army creating the Northern Expedition. Alexei marshalling his own personal forces of nearly 35,000 (mostly made up of mercenaries) triumphantly declares his victory before he confronts Vasili on the field only to be caught in his hubris. Near the city of Nis the battle is joined and his army slaughtered. Vasili being and phenominal commander absolutely smashes Alexei's army pushing him deep into the mountains which dot the Serbian landscape. Alexei is unable to compete and melts into the countryside with his remaining 4000 men hoping to find a more opportune time to march against his cousin. The Serbian casualties are light and in the spirit of their successful battle alongside the Tsar the 20,000 strong Serbian force triumphantly chants "Our Tsar, Tsar of the Bulgars, Serbs, Tsar of the Balkans, Tsar of Belka". Tsar Vasili actively takes this to heart and in his own speeches refers to the Tsardom more personally as both Bulgaria and Belka interchangeably seeing this name as not only a national identity but something all loyal members of the Empire can get behind. The Tsars Son continues his education and gets a large viewing of multiple battles which have taken place. The Battles of Thessograd, Nis, and the small amphibious engagements which secured the Aegean islands. The Tsar personally makes sure the boy is no stranger to blood and death seeing the world they live in. His temperment is noticeably calm but is headstrong and intelligent too. The Headstrong traits he is known to have gotten from his Serbian Mother. In Greece the Southern Army makes one final assault surprisingly reaching a stalemate with the majority Greek and Montenegrin force outside of Thessograd leaving the Southern Army with a less than ideal position compared to Phillips army which is entrenched. However with the freeing up of the Northern Expedition the march on Montenegro is planned by Vasili and his commanders to take place the next year.
 * Principality of Slovenia: The Principality stays out of the Civil war sending only monetary support to the Bulgarian Tsar. Their troops are kept at home and used as a work force to further improve the state. Road systems and infrastructure are built up significantly as cities begin to see a larger influx of people as a result of the surplus food.


 * Cologne: After a year or so of planning, Archbishop Baldrich finds that the perfect Christian thing to do in his post as Archbishop-Patriarch is to respond to the heretics somehow, in a new way. He has long served the poor and is very committed to a truly Christian way of life that does not condone heretical behaviour or heresies like an apparent need for a Holy War. He cannot believe that, after all the Council of Cologne and the Adelphinian Order have achieved, somehow these heretics keep coming back. Perhaps, he figures, the Church have simply been too nice to the heretics and have welcomed them into the fold too many times. He has watched this all pan out, but since he first encountered Hitlerians at a younger age, he has been convinced that their viewpoint is too extreme. He is, however, obviously very supportive of unity and the Northern Church in the Holy Roman Empire. At an Imperial Synod this year, all the warm congratulations on his new position reminds him that he is, in fact, Archbishop-Patriarch of the Holy Roman Empire, President of the Imperial Synod, who is in charge of the propagation and administration of Catholicism within the Holy Roman Empire. This spurs him to make a change, before the heretics overrun Venice and leave Italy for German lands. Accordingly, with the help of many Bishops HRE-wide, he plans a Holy Tribunal of sorts, whose main purpose is to inquire into the spreading of heresies and take a tough approach to any heretics, dispelling them from German lands or converting them to bring them back to the bosom of the Church. Some older Bishops, who have spent years under peaceful rule, are particularly impressed with this idea. By the end of the year, Archbishop-Patriarch Baldrich has enacted and established the Holy German Tribunal, which bids all bishops HRE-wide to investigate and crackdown on heresies (with the help of their respective secular leaders throughout the HRE) and, if necessary, bring them to the administrative centre of the Tribunal in Cologne to await judgment by a panel of the most learned theologians from the Cologne Seminary and University of Cologne.
 * Essen: In Neu Deutschland, the school and infirmary are almost finished. The Abbess-General’s Adelphinian Missionary’s Guide is printed and sent to the New World but does not yet arrive. The abbess of Neu Deutschland is hopeful that these small books will make it easier to expand and bring peace and enlightenment to the New World. The Adelphinian Canonesses continue to work with colonists in separate Hospitaller colonies to provide advice to the council governing. Meanwhile in Tondo, the abbess receives word from Abbess Isengard that His Holiness has instituted an inquiry into this matter, and immediately sends thanks. Further, Tondoese and German Adelphinian Canonesses continue to teach and heal the masses, and the canonesses in the wilderness have become thoroughly immersed in the local customs. Tension rises between the “wilderness” canonesses and the ones remaining in the abbey. Later that year, Abbess Isengard hears the proposal of a learned theologian in Rome and is very happy – allowing married men into the diaconate and smaller orders would have a particularly useful missionary potential. Before she sends this information off to the missionary branches of the Adelphinian Order, she works for a year on fine-tuning parts of the proposition and makes a decree as Abbess-General that modifies the Order of St Adelphina to accommodate such deacons and men of smaller orders.
 * Maiam: The country is torn by small guerilla revolts, which are comprised solely of native, who begin to be known as Nativists. Opposing them are most of those of Iberian descent, who reflect a large minority of the population, Mextizos, and those natives who are loyal to Iberia. This side comes to be known as the Loyalists. Nativist and Loyalist conflicts break out in the farther regions of Maian territory, but the core territory of the Yucatan peninsula remains relatively free of conflict. Expansion continues along the southern border, focusing on the coast. Work continues to renovate and update existing buildings and roads and to create plans for future upkeep and renovations. There is some internal turmoil as the dominant Mayans impose their laws and culture on the conquered Mexica. Former Mexican royalty is forced to marry into Mayan lines. Small rebellions are put down. (Note: Mayan and Mexican refer to the cultural groups, Maian refers to the nation as a whole and its government.)
 * Russia: Work on the Don-Volga Canal Continues. Czar Dimitri condemns Muslim colonization of Borealia. Part of the army is readied for conflict with the Muslims over this statement. Colonization of Siberia speeds up at 30px. Many conjugate around the Church in preparation for another conflict with the Muslims. In case of war with the Arabs the Czar promises Crimea as a reward for Kiev if it joins. Construction of several large galleons in Azov and Tsaritsyn for naval action in the Black Sea and Sea of Azov. We send diplomats to foster good relations with Iran in hopes of winning their support in a war and for trade deals.  Roads are expanded in Siberia. Czar Dimitri decides to send guns and other supplies to the Czarist Faction in Bulgaria.

 * Sultanate of the Maghreb: The Sultan Amid ibn Musa Al-Abbas begins to work on modernizing the army by requesting men from 17-36 to train in the army, as the navy is improved on to reach the new world and to defend trading ships. Urban centers begin to grow as trading centers and means of living begin to spread mostly in cities on the coast. We send Muslims missionaries to Angola. Coastal cities are made into trading post in the Desert to help rise the pop. The Navy is worked on as Rabat is made a center of naval action, as Rabat is were most sailors are trained making a Rabat Naval school, that holds harsh rules, We send a invite to Mali to train there army (MOD). Arms are sent to Tajammad along with 500 more people. The Sultanate begin to work on mass producing Arms and begin to copy European way of growing food.A Imam named Ali Basim begins to think of the idea of expanding the picking of the Sultan to the people in a way as his ideas begin to gain steam among the youth. We send a trade envoys, along with sending Imams to spread Islam in West Africa mostly in Benin to win them over. The Sultanate begin to expand into the Atlantic coast line by 15px. The city Algiers is made the capital of the Sultanate as its population grows.The Sultan begins to works on cities by opening markets and trading centers mostly at Algiers. The spread of Islam in Zaire is less about shoving it down people belief but more of gaining trust of people by giving out food and things like that, after gaining trust of people we begin to spread Islam into Ziyi (Kongo).
 * Tajammad Emirate: the group of 90 men set up base in Rio Gallegos, as Jafar Nurullah is picked to rule over the "Ansari Al Tajammad" and begins to work on opening up relationships with Native tribes in hope of opening trade. A port is worked upon to help ships dock in.While the Emirate works on preparing for the cold seasons by collecting firewood during the summer. Walls are worked on to defend the "Ansari" from animals. Hunting parties are sent to hunt down animals and eat them, while some are killed for there winter fur. The arrival of Zayn At-Talut, the idea of setting up a mosque is put on a possible buld next year. Nurullah is made the leader of expansion and trade, his group finds out 3 tribes of the Cone of Africa (Ona,Haush, and Fuegians) and begins to trade with the Ona people by selling them old Caliphate Swords and Bows. Due to the way of the New World women are given more physically as in helping create the wall or guarding areas. With the arrival of 200 Persians and 2,500 Arabs (and Afro- Arab) the group rinses and repeat the same thing. The port (not the best or biggest) of Tajammad is made
 * Knights Hospitaller: The Knights have a have a population of around 63,000(Colonists and 1% growth) and have a navy of ten ships. In New Rhodes, their is a build up in our industry by offering grants for skilled colonists. Immigration speeds up to 1500 a year due to land grants and the religious turmoil. Due to our small size our population can only provide 630 soldiers though we make sure that they are highly trained. We have finished the restructuring and rearming of the military into a modern army trained in Iberian tactics. With expanded Papal funding and Burgundian investment we begin to restart expansion soon after the reorganisation of the military. We commence the grand journey and we begin our trip across the Seminole lands intent on converting the tribes peacefully, as well as finding allies and trade. However we bring 200 soldiers to provide security and orders are to help eradicate local bandits and convert the survivors as well as subjugating hostile tribes (tribes that deliberately attack us and are extremely hostile) who we will convert. We have finished the expedition (Mod response on chief converts and conversions). The knights try to get the Christian chieftains under their control. We also begin spreading around the idea of a confederacy of the tribes, of a nation where all may prosper and discover new lands and we hope through this journey we might be able to usher one into fruition. We realise that even though we are far, the conflict in Venice has forced our hand and so we send 510 soldiers, and 6 ships to help reclaim Venice though we are temporarily vulnerable. We land in Venice and await Papal support. The knights call for the remaining Venetian forces to rally with us (Mod response).
 * Maryland: The colony of Maryland is small with around 25,000 colonists and 6000 native converts. We build a medical school in Maryland in order to combat new diseases while we also build a ship yard to help with trading. We finish colonising Charlotte country and we colonise Sarosota county by 25px (50px total). We increase our efforts in sending missionaries north hoping to convert more of the natives while we also attempt to convert native leaders, we also focus on gaining more influence with the Seminoles in the north and after many years we seem to be making significant progress. The natives have been almost completely assimilated into our society after decades of conversion and education.
 * New Crete: It has a population of 4250, Andros Island is fully colonized though we halt expansion and consolidate.
 * Neues Deutschland: We settle in OTL Alabama in OTL Mobile county with a population of 5,000 colonists who are majority German. We have fully colonized Mobile County and now expand 25 px (100 px) into the Baldwin colony. We begin sending experts to start industry in the colony as well as to set up farms and plantations. We send an expedition of soldiers and missionaries to make peaceful contact with the natives and help convert the natives. We begin to try to make peaceful relations with the natives and prevent further conflict.
