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 (i.e., 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.

 * Hawaii: Settlement and colonization of Hawaii's many territories continues. With Hawaiian assistance the Polynesian Confederacy spreads to most of the surrounding region, with native islands and tribes being integrated into the union. Another expedition is sent via Angu-Zia to reach the southern continent and hopefully make contact with the people encountered years prior. The group stops at a group of islands (Santa Cruz Islands), which they name Mamaopaena. The inoculations ordered by the king continue and prove to be successful in stopping the spread of disease. The Catholic population has substantially grown due to the government's support, as well as from the cooperation with the Papal States and its missionaries and dignitaries. The king issues the Edict of Toleration, which legalizes all forms of Christianity, in order to appeal to the small but growing minority religions within the nation, such as Russian Orthodoxy. The Buddhist population within the nation also grows, although still a very small minority.
 * Empire of Uluru: With the Council of Ngarridjeri concluded, the Empire enters into its protective status under the three nations it can trust: China, Britain, and Swahili. Any other attempt to colonize the continent will be blocked by these three powers. Islam continues to grow among the countriside, with Christianity spreading quickly in the cities. Emperor Daku retires to the Ochre Palace in Ngarridjeri, confident that he had established a nation in which his people will be eternally safe. Daku expresses his utmost gratitude to all his court, for enduring with his rule after all these years, in spite of the occasional irrational decision or outside questions. Only time will tell what further adventures await the nation.
 * Iberia: As steam spreads throughout Britain, many Iberian engineers also become interested in it . An Iberian Engineer develops a steam engine based off of British Designs and King Pedro hands over the modernization of his navy to the Iberian Naval Company, which will exist as a mandated company that will modernize his military all while making a profit. The Naval Company will also be permitted to raid settlements not under Iberian or any other power's protection. Prince Pedro also announces his plans to use the new steam power to build equipment that will help in the construction of canal in Panama that will allow the passage of ships. The Naval Company starts making ships out of metal, which prove to be more durable and can work better in tropical climates. An Iberian Engineer designs a steamboat made of metal called "the Guinea" which will be captained by explorer Roberto Levin, who plans to use the ship to travel along the Senegal River and establish an Iberian colonial presence there. Iberia sends an envoy to Uluru asking to sign a treaty concerning trade and Iberia possibly buying a port city (Uluru Response). The idea of the Civilizing Mission continues to spread, and Roberto Levin becomes especially interested. In Sunugal, Portuguese is introduced as a trade language. King Pedro also begins lessening the power of the Catholic Church, making it more of a ceremonial entity. With the wave of colonial rebellions, Iberia establishes the Dominion of New Granada (Columbia and Panama) as an entity with its own parliament and legislature, but under personal union with the Iberian Crown. They do the same with the Amazon colony and name it the Dominion of Amazon. King Pedro also institutes several reforms in Iberia to make it more democratic. These include freedom of speech, mild freedom of religion, local elected legislatures, and more private control of land by government mandated companies.
 * There is absolutely no way in hell you adopted that fast. It took 10-15 years OTL for anyone to develop something similar and then even longer to implement. No just no -Feud
 * Empire of Ethiopia: The Emperor Recognizes the overwealming Muslim Majority that is in Ethiopia as Islam is the 2nd most practiced religion in Ethiopia, he attempts to send Preechers to Muslim neighborhoods to Try to convert them. On New Year's Eve a parade In the Nile River Happens Showing off the newly rebuilt Ethiopian Navy with its nine Battleships and Mighty Fierce Flagship the "S.S. Theodore Mark 1", Troops march with the boats, blocking anyone from accidentally falling into the Nile, fireworks go off and the emperor can be seen At the front of the ship holding the Ethiopian Flag and Giving a Heroic Pose. After the Parade The Emperor Chooses a Very Famous Captain of An Ethiopian Envoy: Jonathan T. Abu to General Admiral of The Ethiopian Navy. Slavery Is Finally Made Illegal after many decades and Centuries of Farmers using Slaves for hard labor and Harvesting, the emperor uses this too his advantage to His Converting Campain and sense slaves were banned from practicing religion previously, he could convert all, or at least a majority of them to Christianity! The Emperor Continues his Revamping program for the military with Authorizing for ten battleships to be built every year and for conscription for Boys 17 and older are Required to Serve in the Military for at least four or five years in exchange for free health care and a free education.
 * No way either of these are possible. You have too many non core pops to have legitimate conscription, and no way you're building ten capital ships a year. Your a land power not a naval one. -Feud
 * okay, i get the navy part, but what do you mean thati can't conscript people into the army? 
 * Empire of Dravidia: The Emperor of Dravidia, Haider Shah Agran continued his rule over his domain from his seat of government, the city of Hyderabad whilst his Grand Vizier, Sadullah Khan managed day-to-day amy armyi cant uildup ffairs. The Dravidian population stands at about 53.7 million with the people flocking to cities like Mysore, Hyderabad, Tanjore, Madurai, Coimbatore, Kollam, Masulipatnam, Tirupati and Mangalore as well as various other minor cities and townships throughout the south; primarily due to the rapid urbanization. This inflow of manpower has allowed the Empire to rapidly expand upon its fishery, pearl, shipbuilding, spices and tea industries, key businesses for those residing in coastal towns and port cities. It was agriculture though that served as Dravidia's largest economic focus, selling such goods as rice, wheat, maize, potatoes, indigo, opium, wheat, cannabis and other crops to European merchants as well as those from other states. Among these cash crops, jute, mulberry silk and muslin in particular served as the most important exports given the general need for them in Europe. Meanwhile, the Dravidian navy experimented on new larger classes of flag ships, churning out first rate ships for various fleets, and more third rates, and fourth rates with the occasional second rate to augment the smaller patrol fleets with the majority of the imperial navy harboured at the Kollam, Vizhingam and Mangalore ports. The Dravidian navy firmly stands at 900 ships divided into two Pirivus. Along the same time, a standardized army of roughly 60,000 men existed with an additional 100,000 conscripts to defend the state from any foreign invasion with the soldiers armed with flintlock rifles, and supported by iron-cased rocket artillery, designed indigenously in the city of Tanjore. Apart from the national army, an Imperial Guard was also propped up, mainly to protect the Monarch and his household from any threat. As such, quite a bit of importance was given to the production of firearms and gunpowder, with Tanjore soon becoming the epicentre of the Dravidian arms and rocket industry. Besides the firearms, the infantry was also equipped with daggers and swords to be utilised in close combat against the enemy. Along the same time, the Dravidian Renaissance was in full swing with pan-Dravidian movements such as the Young Dravidia movement established that espoused rationalism and atheism as the common denominators of civil conduct amongst the educated masses. Meanwhile, the use of Dakhini spreads widely in the newly acquired Goan and Marathi lands, with the people of the Deccan and the Nagpur-Jagdalpur region now speaking mainly this language. Along the same time, Christianity once more began to grow amongst the Dalit populace of Dravidia, largely due to rapidly expanding Christian missionary network in the state, with many of the missionaries setting up schools in Dalit villages. Given the poor conditions in which the Dalits lived due to the caste system, conversion to Christianity or to Islam, either one of the Abrahamic religions was seen as an easy way to escape the millenniums of institutional discrimination and persecution that they had faced. Meanwhile, the Grand Vizier made further arrangements for the settlement of Dravidians in Balochistan with most of these migrants settling in the Sulaiman Mluntains or along the Makran coast. By now, the population of the province had reached 400,000 of which there were about 25,000 Dravidians. In an attempt to properly enforce Dravidian rule, the Grand Vizier offered to provide incentives to the various nomadic Baloch tribes of the region, offering them the supply of food from farms managed by the Dravidians. Concurrently, mining was also started in the province as the Vizier Mengal recognized potential for Balochistan's copper industry. Yet another victory was achieved as the Goan's were defeated at the Battle of Kolapur, forcing them to retreat to their final stronghold, their capital city of Ratnagiri. Unfortunately for them, the Dravidian army under the Emperor pursued them right to the cities doorsteps before laying siege to it. These forces were soon subsequently joined by 135,000 levies from the North who had proven victorious at Pune and captured the city. Simultaneously, the navy imposed a blockade upon the city, having already defeated the Goan navy at the Battle of Kajali. Meanwhile, fighting continued in the city of Aurangabad as the Marathas fought with tooth and nail, ferociously defending their city against the invaders and inflictinh as many as 50,000 losses upon the Dravidians. Even Prince Ziyad was injured at one point as an arrow pierced into his shoulder, forcing him to retreat back to the encampments befire returning once the wound had healed. Nevertheless, despite the heavy losses, the battle was slowly and gradually shifting in favour of the Dravidians as not only were the Maratha's being pushed back but many of them had also lost heart after learning that Pune had fallen with many now defecting over to the Dravidian side. The Dravidians may have acquired the Goa Sultanate's riches following the battles of Solapur & Kolapur but it came at a cost. It seemed they had also inherited the Thuggee cult of Maharashtra which had now started attacking the Dravidians in hopes of pleasing the bloodthirsty warrior Goddess of the Hindus, Kali. In any case, seeing an opportunity hoping to sway the Thuggees over to the Emperor's side, the Grand Vizier Sadullah Khan sent an envoy to elders of the cult, offering them all of the inhabitants of Ratnagiri as sacrifices if the Thuggee's aided the Dravidians in the assault against the city.

 * Aztlan Federation:The President of the Aztlan federation José María Teclo Morelos y Pavón Met and held talks with former Emperor of the Californian Empire Philipe Augusthino Diltwa I.They spoke about many things mostly milltary experience and the political structure of California .The president does critise how Iberian friendly he was even during the war of aztlan federation but José does admit that Iberia should be kepth a friend of his new nation. The Former Californian "Forças armadas nacionais" and the "Forças armadas reais" are both incorperated into the Aztlan federation with the aztlan army now know as the "Forças armadas federais".This army of Our nation is mostly based on the former Iberian structure and on the Structure of Californian and Mzerkan army that was used in the war of independence.
 * Italian League: Rebuilding of the military is still underway, hastened by the recent war. Trento and Bozen are heavily fortified as they were before the war. We again make communications with Lombardy, Savoy and the other states of northern Italy asking them to peacefully resume the deal that we had before the Belkan invasion, noting that we created Lombardy and gave them their independence, and we can protect them further (Mod Response). After the swift invasion of Sicily the state is reinstated as a vassal of the League, after Palermo falls and southern Italy. The people are treated with respect and dignity, and allowed the autonomy and rights they previously had, as long as they go back to respecting the previous arrangement held between the two states.


 * Belkan Dip: We Demand the full withdraw of the league from Sicily or the League will Face both the Papal State and Belka in the Field of Battle once again.
 * Mod btw your population score is way to high. With the loss of everything before and your major scorched earth thing from the last war the League at best has four million people. Please change your algorithm and troop strength accordingly. Also the league can raise maybe 100,000 max in its current state. -Feud
 * Hold up. What league? Didn't the Congress of Ravenna split the former league between the Papal States and Belka? As far as I'm aware, the League no longer exists. ~Cal
 * JK the league was dismantled guess me and cal need to do something with it. -Feud
 * Swahili: We continue our agriculture policies and adapt more plants to the Swahili climate. We continue colonial expansion in Northern Somalia, in the South and in the Malindi and Mombassa area. Colonisation steadily increases as medicine and weaponry become more widespread. The army of Zakia defeats the returning army of Northern Malindi in the battle of Lake Natron. The army of Zakia ambushed the hastily marching army of Northern Malindi, resulting in its destruction. However, the delay of the army of Zakia meant that the Army of Zanzibar and the Army of Mombasa has managed to form up near Mt. Kilimanjaro. The combined armies of 80,000 faced off the army of Zakia of 45,000 at Mt. Longido, between two ridges. The Fundamentalists demonstrated great bravery in their religious fervor, and under the masterful hand of Zakia, was almost able to defeat the Royalist armies. However, a 15,000 strong charge of Oromo Cavalry, launched by Zakia towards a Royalist flank, was broken up by the Grand Battery strategy developed in Qamar and the two ridges, which forced them to advance in a narrow and condensed column. Following the great failure of this charge, the Royalist armies were able to encircle the fundamentalist with an inverted wedge. Being outnumbered and encircled, Zakia broke off and returned back North, raiding farms. He left with only 4000 cavalry left and only 22,000 men in the Army of Zakia, while the Royalist armies suffered a loss of 15,000 men. The two armies begin to march northwards. In the north, the Fundamentalists had formed up a second army, the army of Mogadishu, which begins a march cross the River Tana towards Malindi. The deserters and mutinous soldiers also join the army of Mogadishu. On the island of Qamar, the army of Quelimane reestablishes total control. A garrison of 10,000 soldiers are left to remain of the island, while 30,000 is sent to the mainland to reinforce the armies. With most of the Qamarese navy destroyed, the Royalist navy begins a piracy and raiding campaign across the entire coast of Fundamentalist Swahili. The 4000 men of the army of Quelimane acts as a landing party/ marine detachment, including the now famous Gospel Division.
 * Sefuwa: The colony of Sefuwa continue development.
 * Huriya: Swahili culture is brought by merchants and diplomats. The economy is slowly integrated into that of Royalist Swahili following the facilitation of trade through roads and the influence of Swahili merchants.
 * Rowzi: Swahili culture is brought by merchants and diplomats. The economy is slowly integrated into that of Royalist Swahili following the facilitation of trade through roads and the influence of Swahili merchants.
 * Swahili Diplomacy to Dravidia: We propose an alliance and trade agreement with Dravidia.
 * Men are placed on the Border between Swahili and Ethiopia just incase they Invade or accidentally trespass on Ethiopian land, The Emperor sends a Diplomat to befriend the Swahili.
 * Swahili Diplomacy to Magadh: We propose an alliance with Magadh.
 * Magadh Diplomacy: Magadh accepts the alliance.
 * Swiss Confederacy: The delegates of the Tagsatzung have met once again, in order to try to alleviate the rising tensions between the Northerners and Southerners. After many months of deliberation, the Great Compromise of 1790 is enacted in mid-November. The comprise states that Switzerland will remain a lose confederacy, with the cantons still being mostly autonomous, and that Zurich will be the permanent Vorort, and therefore the de facto capital, of the SC. In return for this, the Northerners have agreed in declaring the Swiss Confederacy independent of what remains of the Holy Roman Empire. The two sides have also agreed on sending diplomats to the Papal States and Britain, in order to cement the idea of the SC becoming an independent state. The German version of Rise of the Modern Caliphate: 1400-1700 proves popular in Zurich and other cities with universities, as the new history provides a new spark of Orentalism within the cities.
 * Belkan Federation: With the re-expansion of the Italian league, Vozdh Milosevic annoyed with Italian Impudence Raises a Force of nearly 300,000 to the Border with the league and demands their withdraw from Trento and Sicily in all due haste, Belka dismantled the expansionist league for a reason, this will not happen again. The Papal state is called to raise its own army in response to the League and confirm a Policing action of the League. As a result of this as well the Belkan navy is deployed in Earnest and it responds by blockading the League daring them to challenge the navy. With nearly 50 ships parked off the coast, and Belka maintaining local troop superiority the Italians would be Foolish to meet on the field of Battle. Austria while knowing of their bad blood with Belka offers to return Trento in return for their Help against the League if they dont stand down(mod). While this has flared up the Belkan government is not entirely concerned of this matter and the preparation in Northern Africa continues. Tunis is continually Fortified and a series of forts are contructed on the border with the League as forward operating Bases. The population reaches 19 million flat out this year.
 * United Kingdom of Great Britain:  Tarrifs remain high on imports keeping Arcadia currently as Britain's main trading partner partner. To keep pushing up agricultural production more land is drained of water to access more farm lands. As part of mercantilism policies coal is taxed heavily if sold abroad. There is a continued growth in industry of textiles, iron manufacture and further construction of canals to allow the movement of raw materials such as coal and food. More coal mines open up to fuel the growing production of steelworks. The rise of the steam engine powers the coal mines pushing Britain to the lead in production while factories are also powered by them. Iron, cotton and other goods are all produced in new mills, factories and smelting plants. Patents are expanded on the steam engines and the sale of them overseas is forbidden as they are considered of national importance. The raise in farmer's poll tax is halted but more people continue to move to cities as they struggle under the burden. This causes an increase in investment in farming as the land has to be worked more labour efficiently. England has 7.7 million people and inside of that London has a population of 0.8 million, Wales has 0.7 million, Ireland has 4.7 million people and Scotland 1.2 million. The British army has 3000 in Portsmouth, 3000 in Aldershot, 2000 in Scotland, 3000 in Ireland while 2000 in Arcadia, 2000 in Casablanca, 1000 in English Maiam, 3000 in Haiti as well as 500 in St George, St Helena, New Canterbury and Bay of Kost. Criminals are deported to Arcadia. The navy has 50 ships in New London, Port au Prince and the remaining divided between Bristol and Portsmouth. As the proportion of urban to rural increases due to population growth cities expand as more factories grow. Trade with Uluru grows now that they have gold with everything from fishing hooks to guns being traded. The agreement the British have with the Uluru is also carried out. Sir Robert Clive continues to befriend the Emperor of Southern India. The south Indians are on their own in this whole Thuggee thing currently though.
 * Kingdom of Avalon, Iroquois and Savannah: The Kingdom of Iroquois fearing conflict with natives or Burgundian or anyone really passes the military establishment act and restricts the passage of British troops. They do offer a number of experienced British officers positions in their forces and they establish a 2000 strong professional force. The three Kingdoms have their first separate Parliament elections this year. Each of the three kingdoms maintain a free trade status with Britain while restrict trade to other European powers. The Kingdom of Savannah continues to expand westwards 50 px from the Mander (Tennessee River) towards the Mecipici reaching the Iberian borders. The Kingdom of Avalon expands 50 px west towards Lake superior. The winter is an issue as some crops produce less yields but with the market for cotton rapidly expanding this does not deter farmers from trying to get more farms and pushing westwards in the search for water. The three Kingdom's still rely on their militia because of the size of the lands they hold There maintains a large export market to Britain for cash crops and staple foods especially cotton as the British cotton industry is rapidly growing. The population of Avalon is 0.7 million, Iroquois has 1.3 million and Savannah has 1.0 million.
 * Papal States: After the promising diplomatic overtures from Ethiopia last year, the Pope asks the Coptic Church  to send a delegation to the ongoing Council of Vasiligrad. His Holiness writes to his Coptic equivalent, asking whether his Church would be open to having a Cardinal. The Papal Military is put on high alert given events on the Italian Peninsula. Missions continue, with continued focus on the Zulu, Uluru, and Western Arcadia.
 * The Coptic Pope agrees to having a Cardinal And Sends a Delegation to the council of Vasiligrad.
 * Saxony: With training continuing by the Saxon Army, a new form of artillery using grapeshot weapons is implemented for the first time in cannons. The Volksgeist is written by Arnold Huber an enlightened individual and a believer in a connection between groups of people's cultures and what basically brings them together and makes them united. His latest book talks about German speaking pride and unity and the belief that each and every German speaking person is connected with one group of people. His book quickly spreads across Saxony and his writings inspired many to believe in his ideas and long thought out philosophical ideas. Towns and cities across the nation begin to quickly catch up to the rest of Europe with modern designs and technology. A new Winter Holiday Palace is being made near the Rhine. Road development continues on. Calvary and other forms of military support are recruited with a total of 9400 being selected this year to do five years of advanced training.  Crop Growth continues on with fruitful harvest being made. Meteorology becomes such a popular form of scientific study that the first National Network of Meteorological Observers is made called Sächsische Meteorologische Gesellschaft. The Leader of Saxony, Otto I lives to see another year.

 * Aztlan Federation:After a wave of smallpox hit nations bordering us,Our Federal Senate Asks the Pueblo Federation and Comanche Kingdom to join our nation(as a new state for the pueblo) to be able to give them the full Aztlan Medication and technology .(Pueblo response and mod response).The federal senate also Asks the Iberians to buy Hispanolia and East caribean Islands to get Our nation use them as a Port.Our "Forças armadas federais" numbers are expanded slowly by fully training millitias that fought during the war of independence.Our President also Meets up With his governers that have been apointed yet.To discus new lands would become states and in what manner states would be become them.
 * In spite of being weakened, the Commanches won't be annexed so easily -mod
 * The Pueblo Confederacy; We Refuse. We have technology a-plenty. We were a respected ally of Iberia. We are offended by your offer.


 * China: The Eastern-rite Church (or the Holiest Procurator of the Heavenly Teachings in the East) relocates its base to Kunming, Yunnan, as the epicentre of Christianity in China shifts from the Korean peninsula to southern coastal China. Within Korea, a revival in Confucianism and Muism continues, as many formerly devout Eastern-rite Christians are dissatisfied with the Church's alleged corruption and its policy of realligning its doctrines with standard Catholicism (particularly an enforcement of the Sacraments and the Holy Trinity). This also triggers a larger following in Catholicism. A centralized Confucian clergy is established, known as the Holy Confucian Church, incorporating elements of Emperor worship, with the Emperor asserted as the "Son of Heaven". To improve soil fertility and prevent soil erosion, crop rotation is adopted. Irrigation and more intensive methods of agriculture, as well as the usage of all idle cultivateable land (using New World crops such as potatoes and maize for land unsuitable for wet-rice cultivation) to increase agricultural productivity and crop yield. The production of cash crops are discouraged and farmers are encouraged to cultivate grains, leaving merchants and commercial plantations to monopolize on the cultivation of cash crops. Urbanization is restricted via the Hukuo policy, with a tenth of the population living in urban areas. Land property laws are however, liberalized. The usage of coal begins to rise once again as reserves of timbre dwindle, with reserves of high-quality anthracite in Hamgyeong being extensively mined. Gold mining sees a boom (as gold underpins the paper currency). Metallurgy and iron mining is subsidised by the government, with government-supervised smelting facilities turning poor-quality pig iron into wrought iron. Gunpowder production also flourishes, with both it and wrought iron being used in the production of weaponry, armoury, and artillery. Arsenals containing modern firearms such as flint-lock rifles and multiple-rocket launchers are constructed, in-accordance to the policy of militarization. Commercialization continues, with a boom in the production of handicrafts and textiles supplemented by a labour dividend and strong domestic and external demand. Infrastructural development continues, with basic sanitation and hygiene being promoted to reduce the spread of infectious diseases, with public bathhouses, spas, latrines and sewagery, being built in urban zones. In Zaihaibian, Suolong and Nangang both expand, having a total of fifty thousand colonists. Fire-fallow cultivation is encouraged, leading to rapid deforestation of the forest, with local tribes being given the choice of conversion into Confucianism and autonomy, or being forcibly expelled or massacred.
 * Nivkh Commandery: Tiger Pastries Inc., a subsidiary of Lady Lin Tea, continues to flourish as a business. The Nivkh Prince-Governor (which is the member of the Nivkh Ayzik branch of the House of Kim) continues to adopt Korean and Chinese architecture, paving roads to facilitate transport, and replacing wood and thatch roofing with stone bricks and clay tiles, respectively.
 * Sakha (protectorate): The Khan continues to adopt Korean and Chinese architecture, paving roads to facilitate transport, and replacing wood and thatch roofing with stone bricks and clay tiles, respectively. Siberian crab-apples become a local renowned fruit, and is particularly prized in Korea and northern China.
 * Xizang (protectorate): Lhasa, the capital, is expanded and modernized. The Tibetan clergy continues to administer the protectorate, with its leader, the Dalai Lama, being considered a vassal or substitute monarch. Many Tibetans are encouraged (via financial incentives) to become more sedentary, with food instead being supplied from nearby Sichuan (thereby reducing overreliance in inefficient herding).
 * North Mongolia: Yurt is further settled. A healthy aquiculture industry is established, harvesting and raising fish from the Baikal Lake. A census is taken showing the population to be a measly 100,000 inhabitants.
 * Empire of Ethiopia: The Peasents in the new territory (who used to be small uncivilized tribes) start to set restless towards the Ethiopians, the Peasent farmers aren't that into Wthiopian Technology, most of them don't know how to work a gun or what a gun is! They don't speak Amharic either. The Emperor Calls for five BattleShips to be made this year and be finished by Christmas again, while he calls for all young boys 17 or older to join the military to serve for the Emperor and the Empire. The amount of Ex-Slaves that have Converted to Christianity is at 60% while 40% have either converted to Islam or another religion or are illreligious, the Emperor Is pleased non the less. The Coptic Pope is denied having any large amount of political Influence in Ethiopian Government or politics as that could lease to a Government take over by the church, the Emperor Does allow Coptic Priests seats in the Imperial Council to discuss Serious Issues.Adis Ababa is 20% Complete.
 * So you are 100% not a naval state, it would take you 20-30 years to get into a position to max out your navy. As for your army, your government type doesnt allow for that kind of conscription. thats what i meant last turn. Your nation hasnt adopted or learned about Conscription since they have yet to see/face it in battle. -Feud
 * Alright thanks
 * The Magadh Mahajanpada: Vajrayana Buddhism spreads to the hills of Northern and Eastern Kamroop where it finds great appeal among the tribal groups. Theravada Buddhism spreads westwards. An extract from this year's yearbook 1848 Vikram Samvat : The Gwalior fort fell in the month of Baisakh. There were heated arguments over the Gwalior issue (freedom or integration) and the council remained divided over the issue. The council decided to integrate Gwalior into Magadh in the month of Jyeshta following a visit by Councilman Shivansh Chauhan to Gwalior where he promised a 'Restoration of Aryavarta'.

 * Deccan and Dravidian Diplomacy: The Empire of Dravidia and Deccan offers and an alliance to Magadh. The Empire also offer to transfer control of Jagdalpur and the Dravidian exclave in exchange for the control of Banten and the Andaman islands.
 * United Kingdom of Great Britain:  Tarrifs remain high on imports keeping Arcadia currently as Britain's main trading partner partner. To keep pushing up agricultural production more land is drained of water to access more farm lands. As part of mercantilism policies coal is taxed heavily if sold abroad. There is a continued growth in industry of textiles, iron manufacture and further construction of canals to allow the movement of raw materials such as coal and food. More coal mines open up to fuel the growing production of steelworks. The rise of the steam engine powers the coal mines pushing Britain to the lead in production while factories are also powered by them. Iron, cotton and other goods are all produced in new mills, factories and smelting plants. James Rumsey is granted a patent related to fluid power engineering, in England Patents are expanded on the steam engines and the sale of them overseas is forbidden as they are considered of national importance. The raise in farmer's poll tax is halted but more people continue to move to cities as they struggle under the burden. This causes an increase in investment in farming as the land has to be worked more labour efficiently. England has 7.7 million people and inside of that London has a population of 0.8 million, Wales has 0.7 million, Ireland has 4.7 million people and Scotland 1.2 million. The British army has 3000 in Portsmouth, 3000 in Aldershot, 2000 in Scotland, 3000 in Ireland while 2000 in Arcadia, 2000 in Casablanca, 1000 in English Maiam, 3000 in Haiti as well as 500 in St George, St Helena, New Canterbury and Bay of Kost. Criminals are deported to Arcadia. The navy has 50 ships in New London, Port au Prince and the remaining divided between Bristol and Portsmouth. As the proportion of urban to rural increases due to population growth cities expand as more factories grow. Trade with Uluru grows now that they have gold with everything from fishing hooks to guns being traded. The agreement the British have with the Uluru is also carried out. Sir Robert Clive continues to befriend the Emperor of Southern India. The south Indians are on their own in this whole Thuggee thing currently though. As Dehli and Khandesh becomes increasingly surrounded by it's aggressive neighbour's who are trying to destroy them, envoys from the British East India company and offer to protect Delhi and Khandesh from the imminent threat's and it's vassals in exchange for coming under the suzerainty of the company.

 * Kingdom of Avalon, Iroquois and Savannah: The Kingdom of Iroquois fearing conflict with natives or Burgundian or anyone really passes the military establishment act and restricts the passage of British troops. They do offer a number of experienced British officers positions in their forces and they establish a 2000 strong professional force. The three Kingdoms have their first separate Parliament elections this year. Each of the three kingdoms maintain a free trade status with Britain while restrict trade to other European powers. The Kingdom of Savannah continues to expand westwards 50 px from the Mander (Tennessee River) towards the Mecipici reaching the Iberian borders. The Kingdom of Avalon expands 50 px west towards Lake superior. The winter is an issue as some crops produce less yields but with the market for cotton rapidly expanding this does not deter farmers from trying to get more farms and pushing westwards in the search for water. The three Kingdom's still rely on their militia because of the size of the lands they hold There maintains a large export market to Britain for cash crops and staple foods especially cotton as the British cotton industry is rapidly growing. The population of Avalon is 0.7 million, Iroquois has 1.3 million and Savannah has 1.0 million.
 * Dehli and Khandesh agree. ~Cal
 * Dravidia and Deccan Diplomacy: The Empire offers an alliance to the United Kingdom of Great Britain.
 * British dip: We agree to the alliance as proof to our new vassal Khandesh that we can adequately protect them.
 * Papal States: The Council continues, with the Ethiopian delegation raising interesting questions about Church and State. The Parlamento orders the building of better roads between Rome and the new states (recently annexed from the former Italian League) in order to better integrate them. In Southern Africa, the Prefect of the Zulu Mission congratulates the new Zulu king, and says several requiem masses for the soul of the first Christian king of the Zulu.


 * Swahili: We continue our agriculture policies and adapt more plants to the Swahili climate. We continue colonial expansion in Northern Somalia, in the South and in the Malindi and Mombassa area. Colonisation steadily increases as medicine and weaponry become more widespread. The reinforcement of the army of Mombassa and Army of Zanzibar forces the army of Mogadishu to retreat northwards. With the Southern campaign of Zakia over, both sides temporarily withholds advances to replenish their armies and accumulate supplies. Fighting is limited to minor clashes around the river Tana. The Sultan plans a visit to the island of Qamar to restore Swahili authority. The blockade around the Fundamentalists continue as the Royalist navy shells multiple ports. A small Fundamentalist emissary, disguised as merchants, manage to travel to the Ecumenical Caliphate and Jaffarids to request support for their holy struggle.

 * Ethiopian Dep. We agree to a trade deal between The Swahilis and The Ethiopians, we accept the wares from Swahili, gifts are sent to the Swahili Sultan.
 * Swiss Confederacy: Last years compromise seems to have loosened tensions a bit between the Northerners and Southerners. Most cantons begin researching into technology, but it will be many years before the Swiss come anywhere near the technological prowess of the larger nations. Diplomacy continues to grow, with most focus being placed on relations between the largely Christian Swiss and the Papal States. The Volksgeist becomes popular in the north, and Huber's philosophies are largely accepted there, while being less accepted in the more Italian and French South.
 * Saxony: With the ruler continuing to age, Otto I abdicates the thrown and now remains home with his family to live his last years. Following this, his oldest son, Abellard I is corinated into the thrown. With this a new age begins in Saxony with an economic boom. Wineries and a variety of other shops open up. Squash from the new world is introduced with farms now trying to learn how to grow the vine plant. Development along the Rhine is increased and Rheinstadt is settled. This plans to be a highly developed town for business and trade along the river. With this, many of people begin to flock over. The first river ports and homes are constructed with 111 this year and with 3 schools and one doctor's office. a marketting place is also being constructed and drinking water is also being brought into the new town but it will be a few years till the area really starts booming. In the meantime the Business man's idea seems quite fascinating to many and the castle begins to built in a suburban area east of the capital. With trading still trying to be thought up an economic union and non aggression pact for 20 years is offered up to Prussia for regional benefits and more (MOD Response). The Volksgiest continues to become one of the most important books of the year being sold and in high demand. This opens the door for new thinking and The German University of Philosophy is founded. Otto I even gets caught in the mix and begins to support this philosopher's ideas. In the meantime, regional crop production spreads further. Iron continues to be used in large amounts for militaristic purposes and life moves on. The average pay for a man increases by 30%. Housing increases significantly and more schools are built which causes a drastic rise in literacy rates by 13% of the population within a year. Recruitments continue to be n the rise with 9,000 men being recruited into the military.
 * Prussia accepts alliance and trade - Mod


 * Dravidia and Deccan: The states of Maratha and Goa had been annexed. The Emperor was returning after touring his new possessions. His entourage set up camp near Ratnagiri for the night. He was assassinated while asleep by the Grand Vizier Sadullah Khan. The death of the heir-less Emperor set off a war of succession between his minister. Sadullah Khan was imprisoned by the Imperial guard. Sadullah Khan declared that the young man had lost his mind. The feudal nobility had lost its power and significance after the Maharajah of South India had abolished the feudal system and established an absolute monarchy. Seeking to take advantage of the opportunities created, army general Ganpati Rao decided to take the matter into his own hands. The Dravidian and Marathi people had started hating the emperor and referred to him as 'The Destroyer of Ratnagiri'. The people also equally hated the Thuggees and considered them a great nuisance as they looted, plundered and murdered for no reason at all. General Ganpati Rao easily gained respect of the people. Commanding the respect and loyalty of the army, he ordered 8000 of his best men to take down the Imperial Guard of 1000 and bring Sadullah Khan to him. 200,000 troops of the army moved to secure the Maratha states and Goa. Another 50,000 of his troops established control over Southern India. Ganpati Rao and 10,000 of his troops marched into Hyderabad and arrested the ministers. The ministers and Sadullah Khan were brought to Mysore and were publicly executed. Ganpati Rao called them the 'minions' of the emperor. In a bid to rid the Marathi and Dravidian people of the Thuggee nuisance in southern Maharashtra, 200,000 troops combed southern Maharashtra killing Thuggee gangs and burning down Thuggee settlements. Though the act was barbaric the Marathi people rejoiced at the end of the cult as they were now free to go about their business rather than being randomly murdered.The guerilla war with the Thuggee cult continues (Not all 600,000 of them are fit for service) but is limited to southern Maharashtra. Ganpati Rao established complete control over the nation by the ending months of the year. Maharajah Ganpati Rao was crowned Emperor of Dravidia and the Deccan, and established Mysore as his capital. To establish the sovereignity of his Empire he sent offers for alliance to Magadh, Iberia, Britain and Swahili. In other news, urbanization continued to increase. A small Swahili quarter was established in the city of Kollam. Weapons production increased in Tanjore.
 * Pontus: The country continues to modernize and the missionaries of the Armenian Apostolic Church travel with Russian help toward the Russian Arcadian colonies. Missionaries travel all the way into China, preaching and healing Chinese people in need of help. Turkish refugees arrive in the Pontus and the former ambassador to Eastern Rum explains them that the Turks will have to convert to the Christian Church in order to be allowed to live within Pontus. The fleet is damaged in Trebizond, and thus it's headquarters is moved to Batumi. Rebuilding continues in Trebizond. King David XII passes away and fundamentalist Georgian Luarsab takes the throne. He institutes the coronation as the Emperor of Pontus and Georgia. 
 * Pueblo Confederacy:  (sorry for the absence) We establish a series of forts along the OTL New Mexico Border to defend against Comanche and Apache raids. A trading post named San Moses is established on the shore of the Great Salt Lake. We modernize our forces to be 40% gunpowder units. Gold is found in the Rocky Mountains. Relations are strained with our southern neighbor of Aztlan. We warn them to lay off any ideas of northern expansion.
