Principia Moderni (Map Game)

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

''' The southern part of Gao stabilizes, while Timbuktu expands.Meanwhile, the Borgu Empire falls into civil disarray. Two states form on the Borgu area, Borgu, which controls Nikki and the surrounding areas, and Dahomey, which controls Abomey and the surrounding areas. '''


 * Why is the Caliphate now a grey nation? And how did that little area north of the UJE break away? 
 * A mod event in 1868 said that the caliphate was independent, and given that Galaguerra wasn't controlling it, i put it in grey.and that little area is part of the Caliphate, given to them by Greece. is basically a Caliphatean exclave.
 * Oh, no. I had made another moderator event, where I had incorrectly assumed the French still had influence over the Caliphate, and that was Galaguerra's response to my event, so I deleted the event. He is still controlling it, it's just that the French don't have any influence anymore.


 * Neue Brandenburg is somewhat sobered from their defeat in Vietnam, as the period of military victories ends quickly. Troops are withdrawn from Europe, but the nation still expands by 10000 sq km. Neue Wilhelmsburg expands along the coast by 500 sq km. A census is conducted which shows that more and more people live in the country. The first NBC royal fair is held. The Volkstag passes a bill outlawing child labor completely, and imposing harsh penalties. The socialists remain in control of the government.
 * Persia's New Tehran colony expands 100x100 sq. mi. west. New Persia expands by 100x100 sq. mi south. New Isafan continues to expand by 100x100 sq. mi. north. They attack Vietnamese colonies in South America to support the French-Russian-Italian Union.


 * Bengal sets up its first major industries in Sylhet, and begins setting up an industrial center in the area, with assistance from the White Elephants. Plans are drafted for a rail line between Chauhhpiu and Sylhet, to supplement sea routes between those two cities as well as with Dhaka and Bakarganj. Songone sets up its own mint, with new Songonese Rubles being printed and distributed and exchanged to replace older European-minted coins. This action was taken in the wake of deflation due to lack of a way to regenerate currency.
 * Finland continues to build up their military, and continue to build and improve some infrastructure and continues industrialisation. Finland also expands Hyvinkää by 400km, expands Kōshi by 450km, and expands Käwäshiro by 400km. Some Finnish politicians again yawn at Sweden's actions, as they could care less. Those same Finnish politicians also yawn at France trying to fight against Sweden and are told there is there just no hope any-more but they still allow them to try, but it won't really work. Meanwhile, Finland continues to promote democracy (in Finland there is little or no socialists because of this). Finland begins to support France less as there is no hope any-more, and begins to support Sweden instead. Also a few Finnish politicians are sick and tired of the socialists and other socialist-like ideologies that are being spread around (and sick and tired of those ideologies in general) but they don't say anything at all and don't show that and they keep those opinions to themselves, to prevent anger from France. Meanwhile, Kanako Björklund (a Democratic, Shintoist female politician) gains more popularity in Finland as the Finns start to get tired of all this war going on. In other news, the Republic of Kazami secretly shows support for Sweden and decides to secretly give them a few military and supplies for help. The Finnish colonies of Kōshi, Käwäshiro, and Hyvinkää also secretly show support for Sweden and secretly gives supplies and stuff to help them. The Finnish colony of Sätōri also shows support for Sweden and sends them a few supplies.
 * The proposal to merge Buda, Pest and Óbuda, proposed in 1862, is approved by the council of nobles.the city formed with the merging of those three is named Budapest.Meanwhile, Rangyóra expands 11500 sq km. the military is updated.Meanwhile, the Budapest-Vác branch continues to be built, while another branch, this time connecting Zeng to Ragusa starts to be built.
 * Unrest continues to grow in the main island and in Labrador.In July, riots happen in Új Kotor.
 * Egypt updates its military.
 * Uruguay expands 5000 sq km.
 * Nippon's Emperor Kōmei dies, and his son ascends to the Chrysanthemum Throne as Emperor Meiji. Shogun Iemochi see's the tide turning against his Mesheryakovist allies, and announces plans for a huge assault against Vietnam and the colonies & vassals of Finland and Sweden. Border skirmishes begin on Luzon island, but it isn't anything major as they are still waiting for supporting armies. The INN is sent to raid the coast lines of these nations/colonies/vassals but the military chiefs think this is a fools move and mobilizes as slowly as possible to do as little damage against Nippon's former allies. Several members of the naval staff board visit the Shuujin penal colony to, to meet up with the exiled politicians and plan a coup against the Shogunate. They plan to get rid of the non-elected Tokugawa shogunate, and make the role of Shogun an elected one (basically a prime minister). The people planning the coup secretly meet up with Swedish, Finnish and Vietnamese officals to get them to support their coup against Shogun Iemochi. Otherwise Shuujin expands inland by (1000*5) 5000 sq km as more people are exiled, and Papua Nipponia expands 2000 sq km into OTL New Britain and the near by islands. This is because the Shogun needs more plantations and timber for war supplies.
 * The Commonwealth of Eetoria and Ngainkeha joins the anti-mesheryakovist side, and sends its fleet to stop Nippon in the East indies and Pacific. Troops are also sent to march through the wilderness to the Nipponese colonies of Papua Nipponia and Shuujin to liberate them from the Shogun. Cartographers also join the armies marching north so they can map out the unexplored areas of Australia.
 * The Emperor, seen as ineffective, is stripped of his rank by the nobles; a first in Qing Chinese history. The new emperor immediately works on improving the interior. Chief among these actions are finally absorbing Changistan into its empire.
 * Persian Diplomacy: It asks China to put a Persian prince on the throne.
 * Chinese Diplomacy: Only Chinese blood will ever rule China.
 * They put a new emperor on already, the one improving the interior.
 * The Vietnamese and their allies continue fighting against the Franco-Russians.
 * Dravidia continues the war, helping Vietnam. The Dravidian government sends secret messages to the leaders in Bharat who are plotting to put the son of the Maharaja on the throne instead, saying that they will support him.
 * Ricasolia builds up its military, wary of potential colonizers.
 * Israel builds up its military as well, with more Israelis working to make their nation more developed. They trade with their neighbors, but they still almost totally prevent any immigration into Israel, fearful that if their nation became overran by Muslim immigrants they would be absorbed by the caliphate.
 * Istoias has a census, where they find the ethnicitiy of Istoias to be 42% European (20% Italian, 10% Hungarian, 5% Spanish, 3% French, 2% German, and 2% Dutch) 37% Malasgay (Madagascar Native) and 21% Ethiopian (from the Ethiopian colonization and immigration). The religion of Istoias is 70% Schmittist, 11% Native Religions, 8% Deist, 5% Ethiopian Orthodox, 2% Roman Catholic, and 4% other. The primary language is Italian.
 * Brunei continues to expand their Mauritius colony and infastructure projects begin in southern Brunei. Factories continue to boom and Brunei proper expands south.
 * Sweden refuses to relinquish the Finnish coast and claims Finland as part of the Swedish Empire, they set up a puppet regime in Finnish territory. The IEC expands west into Alaska with Swedish help and Asgard expands 15250sqkm westwards. The Swedish navy receives a few new ships and Swedish troops are sent to the Baltic Alliance and Finland in case of Russian invasions. The same occurs in Southern Flanders where small skrimishes occur as the Swedish troops move to seize Calais. Arabia seeks to form a union with the Caliphate renaming the new nation the Arabian Caliphate.
 * Nouvelle-Normandie expands 11625 sqkm. As Charles-Louis is internationally unpopular, and his methods to mantain the order are nothing but tyrannical, the anarchist party grows, specially those who liked the union with Finland join the party. Henri Rochefort, a french, and Louis Auguste Blanqui, a burgundian politician, seem to be the leaders of a formal party if the government doesn't act soon. And Charles doas it. They both are sent to the penal centers in Songhay, where they finally meet each other. They're also socialist, but oposed to monarchy, the autocratic government led by a bourgeois person or group of persons, and also oposed to any kind of militarized government. Due to the lack of support in some fronts, Alphonse Henri dies in battle, and Adolphe Thiers, oposed to monarchism and socialism, leads a new faction of the army to conquest Nouvelle-Gascogne. Such colony becomes an independent republic and, though not officially supports the anti-mesheryakovists, fights the mesheryakovist government of France. He's supported by Patrice Mac-Mahon.
 * In Haiti, a massive anti-french rebellion starts, and Achille Murat dies fighting. Haiti declares neutral in the war, though the internal struggle continues. Every single warlord and usurpers wants to crown himself and become Emperor, but the collectivism, mesheryakovism, classism and any kind of socialism are rejected. A provisional Regent Triumvirate is formed by Joseph Marie, a decendant of spanish emmigrants called Manuel Cáceres and some Ignacie Marie (they all are, respectively, José María Cabral, Manuel Altagracia Cáceres and Ignacio María González, presidents of the Domican Republic).
 * Nouvelle-France start to lose territory and Újfundlandi gets weaker.
 * Nouvelle-Patagonie expands 6000 sqkm. The Prince declares his intention to negotiate with the enemies, but the Regent (Charles-Louis) remains not hearing him.
 * Algeria expands 11625 sqkm. The union with the swedish Arabia is accepted. The Arabian Caliphate grows economiclly and industrially. The Caliph offers a formal alliance to the Shah in order to protect Islam and avoid those "hindu heretics" to corrupt their people. I Figli di Dio continues growing, fighting the bharati missionaries and the non-muslim groupsin other countries, but mostly doing criminal actions like selling drugs or prostitution. The Caliph quilify I Figli di Dio's concept of Islam as a "cruel mocking of our religion, a pseudoliberal form of corruption. That's what happen when good muslim people get into the corrup christian societies". The UJE annexes the northern territories.
 * Russian Troops are put on high alert on the borders as they wait for an invasion. The Russians Declare the Finns to be independant, and renounce the regime. the Industry in Russia grows as a new concept of trade unions is brought up. many factory owners decide to ban unionits from working. A new way of refining petroleum into gasoline is descovered, although no practical purpose for it has been invented. Troops are called from Siberia to reinforce swedish boundries. the new explosive artilery is given its first shot. In Russia, Charles-Louis becomes increasingly unpopular, and is viewed by many peopele in secret to be attempting to "become Tsar". Allegations and rumors begin spreading around moscow that Charles-Louis paid the Knight of Russia to kill Paul II, and then killed them to tie up loose ends. The Socialsits in Russia and the Liberals are looking at how the immage of their ideology and the name of Mehseryakov is being used in ways and being twisted to justify breaking the primary rights of the person. those who spoke out these thing publicaly have been killed misteriously. the re-emergence of secret societies beigisn. Operation Suomi, the invasion and liberation of Finland from the "Swedish oppresors" begins, and any swedish ships using the northeast passage are destroyed (after a warning of-course). Mendeleev publishes his periodic table of elements.
 * Novorossiyan troops come to the aid of the mothernland, The Industrialists win the electiuons and ban Trade Unions.
 * South Afican army comes to the aid of the Motherland, Socialist party comes to power.
 * Bharat's cities and surrounding areas continue to boom, despite the war. Work on the official "parliamentary building" finishes stage 2, while the construction of stage 3 begins this year. The parliament is looking very beautiful, but it is not being used often as there is nothing major the mahajhapanas can discuss while the maharaja commands the country at war. Yet more factory construction continues, while cotton and ammunition factories continue producing more goods. The mahajhapanas up thier game in trying to influence, and send in secretly armed missionaries to get their job done. It continues to fund hindus trying to convert muslims in Persia, and this continues to yieled some favourable results, even though the Capilate are trying thier best to stop it. The factories produce more ironclads and major steamships and more large fleets are formed with the existing warships and used to help France-Russia in their every battle. Unrest in the Bharati population begins to grow with the largely unpopular war being waged by the Maharaja's troops, and emmigration picks up. Plans are continuously made for the Maharaja's deposition, while more cricket games are played. This does 2 things, it helps formulate the plan for deposing the king while helping to increase the poplarity of cricket. The army is continuously worked on, and they help bring more stablity to the newly conquered nation of Onguayal, and most of the country is now under firm stable hands, with only a little area to the south-east unstable.
 * Naya Bharat expands 5000km inward into the Australian heartlands, continuing to corner off the Persian colony by going round its border. The fishing business continues to grow, and so does farming. More industrial factories are set up and expiditions into the "wild bush" continue.
 * Hindustan expands 5000km northward and inward. The propoganda campaign ongoing in Bharat is also targeted to the former Spanish colonists, while more industries are set up. The campaign has helped convert almost all of the colonists, Spanish or otherwise, to become hindu and is planned to stop next year.
 * Onguayal expands 3750km north-east and takes up land over the Russian colony. They work on their army, and with funding from Bharat start a huge industrialization program to catch up with the European powers. They also focus on stablizing more of their country and hope to have all areas under their command by next year.

1871
Berlin stabilizes a portion of the chaotic areas of Germany about the size of South Carolina, centered around the city. Note since these factions are already anti-Mesheryakovist I assume they will join this coalition against Shogun Iemochi who is a Mesheryakovist
 * Dravidia recognizes Nouvell-Gascogne as being independent, and continues the anti-Mesheryakovist war. Cricket has now become the dominant sport of Dravidia. The industry of Dravidia has greatly expanded due to the amount of materials needed to fund the war.
 * Bharat's mahajhapanas ask whether Dravidia could provide military support, knowing that the Davidians already politically support the planned takeover.
 * Dravidia withdraws half of its forces that are helping Vietnam, to prepare to give military aid. The remaining half continue to attack the French. They tell the Vietnamese not to worry, that the withdrawn troops will aid the anti-Mesheryakovists, just in a different front.
 * Sicily continues to help France. However, they are now having to put down anti-Mesheryakovist revolts which are occuring both in Sicily itself and in Tunisia. These revolts are in part due to the traditional Neapolitan reverence of the Vietnamese people and culture due to how much Vietnam helped them over the years. Pahang expands by 200 square kilometers into both of the former Mayan Javan colonies. The Pahangese work of getting the Mayan states on Java to join up with their colony as a puppet states, offering them back their land plus the protection of Sicily.
 * Venice continues to fight to help France. They have no revolts, as they still hate the Vietnamese.
 * Istoias builds up its infrastructure.
 * Finland continues to build up their military, and continue to build and improve some infrastructure and continues industrialisation. Finland also expands Hyvinkää by 400km, expands Kōshi by 450km, and expands Käwäshiro by 400km. The Finnish politicians continue to yawn against everyone's actions and don't care what happens. However overall Finland decide to stay Union in Sweden. Support for France stops, and Finland fully supports Sweden instead now as well. The Republic of Kazami and Finnish colonies of Kōshi, Käwäshiro, Hyvinkää, and Sätōri continue to send aid and support and military to help on Sweden's side. The Republic of Kazami and Finnish colony of Hyvinkää both send military aid to help Commonwealth of Eetoria and Ngainkeha in their wars. Kanako Björklund continues to promote peace and neutrality which is still supported by Finns as the whole wars and stuff get really tiring. However, Kanako Björklund also secretly supports the remaining of Union with Sweden (and is somewhat pro-Swedish), but she doesn't say that at all to the Finns.
 * The Vietnamese and their allies continue fighting against the Franco-Russians. The Vietnamese begin to gleefully fund the Sicilian revolts to weaken the Franco-Russian regime's Sicilian toadies. The Vietnamese send a force to New Naples to liberate them from Persian occupation, and send another force to occupy the Persian South American colony. Vietnamese agents effectively go to town in Venice, as their own hatred of the Venetians causes them to abandon all sense of restraint in the state.
 * Persia's New Tehran colony expands 100x100 sq. mi. west. New Persia expands by 100x100 sq. mi south. New Isafan continues to expand by 100x100 sq. mi. north. They begin to defend their colonies against the Vietnamese. They attack Nam My as retaliation.
 * Brunei continues the war against France and her allies troops are landed on the Mentawai Islands along the western coast of Sumatra the defenders are takin by suprize and several islands fall. The colony of Mauritus is expanded and Brunei expands as well. industry and infastrucre continue to be improved.
 * The Commonwealth of Eetoria and Ngainkeha reach the Nipponese colonies, and with the help of the anti-Shogun rebels the Nipponese colonies in OTL Australia are freed from Shogun Iemochi's tyranical rule. The Commonwealth of Eetoria and Ngainkeha, anti-Shogun rebels/revolutionists, Republic of Kazami, Vietnam, New Lithuania, Swedish colonial forces and Finnish colonial forces join up to form the Coalition of the Pacific and invade Nippon's OTL New Guinea territories.
 * Shogun Iemochi is dismayed at the loss of his Australian territories, and decides to invade New Lithuania and Taiwan to make up for the lost resources. Nippon's forces manage to take over all of Luzon island and Taiwan island by the end of the year. The newly conquered territories' factories become part of the Shogun's war machine, manufacturing supplies for the war effort almost non-stop thanks to the use of slave labour. Iemochi also orders the INN on a huge privateering mission and the mission stops just over half of the anti-Mesheryakovist shipping in the Pacific and east indies. However several of the INN's fleets mutiny and join the Coalition of the Pacific causing the Shogun to force Chamoru's navy to fight for Nippon.
 * Chamoru sends its navy to join up with the INN, mostly because they are scared of Nippon crushing their small nation.
 * With the help of the Coalition of the Pacific, the Sultan of Sunda takes control of Sunda and joins the Coalition of the Pacific. The Sultan declares independence for Sunda to, and sends supplies to the Coalition of the Pacific forces, as Sunda doesn't have a large enough military to defend Sunda itself and wage war overseas.
 * The Chinese colony in OTL Mexico expands by 12000 sq km northwards towards Baja.
 * By May, armed uprisings more organized than the új Kotor riots break out in Nunajnguk and Wabush.by the end of the year, some territory has already been taken, with the territory already taken by the insurgents centerd in Nunajnguk already expanding to near Agvituk (OTL Hopedale) althoug both cities still are isolated from each other.taking advantage of the revolts, the army at Kangiqsualujjuaq tries to take advantage of the situation, advancing, although the amount of territory taken is limited.
 * The Budapest-Vác branch and the Zeng-Ragusa branches continue to be built, with the Vác-Budapest branch being almost finished, as the distance between both cities is very small, if compared to Zeng and Ragusa.Rangyóra expands 11500 sq km.the military is updated.
 * Egypt updates its military.
 * Uruguay expands 5000 sq km.
 * Bharat's cities and surrounding areas continue to boom, despite the war. Work on the official "parliamentary building" continues at stage 3. Yet more factory construction continues, while cotton and ammunition factories continue producing more goods. The mahajhapanas send in more secretly armed missionaries to get their job done while funding hindus trying to convert muslims in Persia. This continues to yield some favourable results, even though the Capilate are trying thier best to stop it. The factories produce more ironclads and major steamships and more large fleets are formed with the existing warships and used to help France-Russia in their every battle, while the fleet plans to join up with Nippon to help its campaign. The Bharati navy and army are still intact but for how long is anyone's guess. Plans are continuously made for the Maharaja's deposition and unrest in the Bharati population continues to grow with the largely unpopular war being waged by the Maharaja's troops, and emmigration picks up. The mahajhapanas secretly go round the populace telling them to get ready to depose the maharaja, and support for the mahajhapanas increase. The army is continuously worked on, perhaps this is one of the reasons that they are still loyal to the maharaja, and they help stablize Onguayal completely. The government plan made in 1869 is put into place, and Onguayal become a semi-independent state with Bharati influence and backing.
 * Naya Bharat expands 5000km inward into the Australian heartlands, continuing to corner off the Persian colony by going round its border. The fishing business continues to grow, and so does farming. More industrial factories are set up and expiditions into the "wild bush" continue.
 * Hindustan expands 5000km northward and inward. The propoganda campaign ongoing in Hindustan has helped convert almost all of the colonists, Spanish or otherwise and the campaign is stopped. The colony is very diverse ethimologically, with Spanish-origin, Bharati and Dravidian-origin and Persian origin descendents all living in the colony.
 * Onguayal expands 3750km north-east and takes up more land over the Russian colony. They continue work on their army, expanding it more to keep control of the country. Meanwhile, to provide jobs, many new roads are planned to be constructed and railroads to be laid down and, with funding from Bharat, continue their industrialization program to catch up with the major world powers.
 * Nouvelle-Normandie expands 11625 sqkm. The anarchist and liberal sectro are still growing while the mesheryakovist faction suffers defeats in every corner of the world. Blanqui and Rochefort fled from Songhay to Akon, where most of the population speaks french as result of the french emmigration in the last centuries. In Akon, Rochefort stays, and quickly his democratic anarchist party grows. Rochefort meanwhile fleds to Algeria, where he works in his back to Burgundy., but this years he stays.
 * Haiti remains neutral, as the Triumvirate is still fighting the usurpers and warlords, plus the incurssion of ocassionals vietnamese or mesheryakovist assaulters. Port-au-Prince and other cities grow and try to recompose their industrial economy. The Tiumvirate asks Ricasolia for help.
 * Nouvelle-France seems to be besieges from all sides. Belcher, who is fighting at újfundlandi against the ungavans, can't control the masive protests of the population. The inhabitants of Nouvelle-Armagnac, a former russian colony, where russian is still the most spoken language, and the people is mostly russian in ethnicity, try to contact non.anarchist groupd in Novorossiya and the govenment of Kanada, trying to convince them to occupy Nouvelle-France.
 * Nouvelle-Patagonie expands 6000 sqkm. Malouinas is still loyal to the french, but Maximilien is already looking for a more peaceful and mostly formal war.
 * The Republic of Nouvelle-Gascogne, under the control of Alphonse Thiers and Patrice Mac-Mahon, rejects most attempts to communicate the western and eastern front though the south african sea. The armadas of the republic strike cruely in South Africa, though some groups consider that it isn't a good idea befriend the nations who would take adventadge of it to vassalize France. Thiers formally declares his government to be a Provisional Government of France, so he's claiming the entire french empire, including Nouvelle-Gascogne.
 * Algeria expands 11625 sqkm. The Caliph accepts Blanqui by now staying in Algeria, and evesn shows some support to his ideas as the current french regime seems to be imperialist and would soon try to reconquest Arabia. As I Figli di Dio promotes a more liberal kind of Islam, the caliphal government is trying to avoid members of the organiations inside the boundaries of the Caliphate. Algeria is, though, a center of black marketing, with some members of I Figli di Fio being the main trading lords.
 * The Israelis send information about I Figli di Fio that they have taken from captured members to the Caliphate. Meanwhile, now that Swedish Arabia is part of the caliphate, the Israelis ask if they can buy the land which was the small strip of land connecting Swedish Arabia to the Mediterranean sea. They will pay handsomely for this small piece of desert.
 * Russian military begins an offensive in Finland, to liberate the regime. Their initial advance quickly takes the Arctic coast and karelia. Meanwhile, the popularity of Charles-Louis begins to deteriorate reapidly. Industry grows. the first public transit systems, tramways apear across russia.
 * Israel expands its military, but it is still neutral in the war.
 * Sweden's army rushes across Finland to stop the Russian invasion. The Swedish parliament uses emergency powers and combines the reamining Finnish territory with Sweden and establishing direct rule over Finland from Stockholm. Sweden's army loses in several minor battles against the Russians and this alerts the nobles that Sweden's army is not what it was. The Swedish navy in the meantime destroys the Russian navy in both the Pacific and the Baltic. Asgardian troops attack the Russian outpost in Alaska with the help of the IEC who convince many neutral tribes that the Russians are bad and must be defeated. This allows the IEC to take over one fifth of the remaining Alaskan territory. Asgard expands 15250sqkm west locking off the Russians. Sweden produces more naval ships and in secret tests develop the gattling gun. Swedish forces in France seize Calais after a three month seige and move south towards Orleans. Wonderlaand sends all the ships it can to transport Fjordlaand's army to liberate Taiwan and Luzon, they are expected to arrive next year. Swedish Libya calls for independence and joins Swedish Arabia. Together the new Arabian Caliphate pressures Egypt to join them.

''' Dahomey expands north and west, while Ashanti expands south on the former Borgu-controlled areas.  Are OTL Americas still called the Americas in this game? If not I'll change it to the United States of ...'''
 * Sicily's revolts rise due to Vietnamese funding. The Chancellor Occhiochiuso attempts to control his nation, but he fails to stop revolts in either Sicily or Tunisia.
 * Israel continues to build up its military. They save up more money, and tell the Caliphate that the offer to buy the small piece of desert that was formerly Swedish Arabia's outlet to the Mediterranean still stands.
 * The Caliphate will not sell that land as it is a vital outlet to the nation.
 * Not all of the Caliphate's outlet the the Mediterranean, just the part that had been Swedish. The part that had been French would remain part of the Caliphate
 * Istoias works on stabilizing their nation after the recent expansion, and building infrastructure for it.
 * Ricasolia builds up its military. It sells supplies to France at a discount price, but is still officially neutral in the war as to not antagonize Vietnam.
 * Persia's New Tehran colony expands 100x100 sq. mi. west. New Persia expands by 100x100 sq. mi south. New Isafan continues to expand by 100x100 sq. mi. north. They attack Vietnam's only South American colony. They ask China for help.
 * Both of you are our allies. We lost one alliance recently. We're not losing another.
 * Persia ask Hindustan for help.
 * Bharat (I'm guessing you mean Bharat, not Hindustan which is a colony) will gladly help the Persians if they could recieve the Persian Australian colony. In return, Bharat will send all of its fleet and army to support the invasion.
 * RandomWriterGuy, you do know that Vietnam is already being planned to win this war due to the French collapse? And its a bit implausible to just take a colony without even letting him respond.
 * Persia agrees.
 * The rebels on Labrador take more parts of the territory. By November, the leaders declare the nation independent from France, although no form of government is officially chosen until things stabilize.However, the Newfoundlandian government in Kuujjuaq does not recognize Labrador and claims the nation as part of their territory, although they do not invade it, as this probably would weaken Newfoundland even more, giving way to the french.The Labradorians also don't recognize the government in Kuujjuaq as the successor of the Newfoundlandian state.Meanwhile, Abus (OTL Wabush) is chosen as the capital instead of Új Kotor, by then still controlled by France, but sieged, as it is not susceptible to be invavded by sea, it is far from Ungava, and it is the most populated city out of the littoral.Meanwhile, unrest continues on the main island.
 * The Zeng-Ragusa railway continues to be built. the economy grows, and the military is updated. Meanwhile, Dél-Afrika expands 11500 sq km.
 * Uruguay expands 5000 sq km.
 * Egypt updates its military.
 * China works on rebuilding from the Chinese/Korean War and the Taipeng Rebellion. Meanwhile, the military expands.
 * Finland continues to build up their military, and continue to build and improve some infrastructure and continues industrialisation. Finland also expands Hyvinkää by 400km, expands Kōshi by 450km, and expands Käwäshiro by 400km. The Republic of Kazami and the Finnish colonies of Hyvinkää and Kōshi continue to help Coalition of the Pacific while Käwäshiro continues sending supplies to help Sweden. Lastly, more Shinto shrines are built in Käwäshiro as well.
 * The Coalition of the Pacific takes control of Papua Nipponia, Ringga and Nikoman. This is thanks to more of the INN defecting from the Shogun to joining the coalition. The coalition moves into the Philippines to help the New Lithuanians and Vietnamese push back Nippon. The Coalition also requests help from Brunei.
 * Nippon continues to lose territory to the Coalition of the Pacific and more of the INN defect too, and Nippon loses her naval strength. The Nipponese colony of Korubia and Sokotara both rebel and Nippon loses control of them too. Anti-Tokugawa protests begin in major cities, and these are cracked down harshly; these protesters are forced to work in factories as slave labour as punishment. Shogun Iemochi requests aid from his Mesheryakovist allies before he loses Nippon to the Coalition of the Pacific.
 * Akram Akbar declares himself Sultan of Sokotara, and he sets up a fundamentalist Islamic state with himself as Absolute ruler. Sokotara allies themselves with the Caliphate and offers his Sultanate to join the Caliphate once he dies. Sokotara begins to invade OTL Somalia in a jihad to make it part of the Caliphate.
 * Kyon Tapuri's coup in Korubia is almost bloodless, as most of the colonial government are against Shogun Tokugawa Iemochi's rule. Tapuri declares Nippon's former Korubia colony to be the United States of America, and presents a constitution giving everybody equal rights (thats all ethnicities and sexes).
 * Korea continues to expand their military, after their humiliating defeat in the Sino-Korean War. Also, the industry is built up, and businesses begin to be set up overseas. Several major Korean businesses are set up in Japan, where they take advantage of the chaos to hire cheap laborers to create things more efficiently. Also, after hearing news of the "United States of America", the Emperor decided to formally recognize it as a nation and requests embassies between the nations, as well as an economic alliance as well as a possible military alliance.
 * The Shogun is furious Korea tries to do business with Nippon while recognizing a rebel nation. The Shogun removes all the Korean businesses set up this turn as punishment and tensions between the two nations sky-rockets.
 * Brunei agrees to send aid to and cordinate assults with the coalition of the Pacific. Brunei continues to successfully attack and annex french islands in thier island hopping campaign and expand the assult invading Japanese Andaman. Brunei expands Mauritius.
 * The coalition of the Pacific has already taken control of the Andaman islands, as they are part of the Nipponese colony of Nikoman.
 * Sorry my bad kinda hard to tell what part of Nippon is my friend and what part isnt
 * Nouvelle-Normandie expands 11625 sqkm; the local aristocracy makes deals with the anti-mesheryakovist faction to avoid attacks on their lands, so they can expands the colony and use its rescources, and rejoin France as soon as the war is over. Charles-Louis decides to let his son Eugène-Louis, rule the country while he's in the battlefront. Eugène shows himself more tyranicall than his father never was, executing the anarchists and putting France under military rule. His troops, anyway, capture some of the outskirts of Calais and Furanchesou, thoguh the main ares are still under hostile control. The secret police practicly has stoped helping Sicily in its criminal problems, and the army hardly care about other countries' revolts. In Akon, Henri Rochefort and his party take down the current government and stabilize the country, and, though some disarray may occur, the new army of Akon stops the french from advancing.
 * Nouvelle-Gascogne expands some 800 sqkm. The current government frustrates any attempts of the french secret police to topple them.
 * Haiti continues asking help to Ricasolia to improve its destroyed economy. The opinions of the Triumvirate about what political actions whould they implement are dividewd.
 * Nouvelle-France hardly supports the attack from all directions. Belcher is still fighting in his country, as he seems to be the most popular mesheryakovist ruler. The russians in Nouvelle-Armagnac still ask Novorossiya and Kanada for help. They start sending supplies to the enemy. The troops abandon újfundlandi to their own.
 * Malouians betrays France joining the oposite side. Nouvelle-Patagonie expands 6000 sqkm again.
 * Algeria expands 11625 sqkm. Blanqui creates a Liberation Army of France in that colony, but it's still too small. The pact with Sokotara is accepted. The Caliphate grows in economy, and the industrial economy becomes the greatest in all muslim nations. The Caliph offers again the Shah a dela to fight together the hinduist. He offers the Shah a royal marriage (and eventual union) between his son and a daughter of the Shah.
 * Bharat's cities and surrounding areas continue to boom, despite the war. Work on the official "parliamentary building" continues at stage 3. Factory construction finishes and factories are mainly churning out equipment for the war effort. The mahajhapanas send in more secretly armed missionaries to get their job done while funding hindus trying to convert muslims in Persia, continuing to yield more favourable results, even though the Capilate are trying their best to stop it. By now, a significant percent of eastern Persia is hindu, while western Persians grow more fundamentalists Islamics. The factories produce more ironclads and major steamships and more large fleets are formed with the existing warships and are sent to Persia to join up with the Persians. Plans are continuously made for the Maharaja's deposition and unrest in the Bharati population continues to grow with the largely unpopular war being waged by the Maharaja's troops, and emmigration picks up. The mahajhapanas continue to go round the populace telling them to get ready to depose the maharaja, and support for the mahajhapanas increase. The army is continuously worked on, perhaps this is one of the reasons that they are still loyal to the maharaja.
 * Naya Bharat expands 2500km inward into the Australian heartlands, continuing to corner off the Persian colony by going round its border. More industrial factories are set up and expeditions into the "wild bush" continue.
 * Hindustan expands 8500km northward and inward. The population continue to build factories with their bare hands and migration from the main settlements to better farming areas is encouraged.
 * Onguayal expands 3750km north-east and takes up more land over the Russian colony. They continue work on their army and expand it. New roads begin construction and railroads start to be laid down. With more funding from Bharat, their industrialization program continues to catch up with the major world powers.
 * Dravidia sends as much funding and propaganda they can into Bharat, to support the anti-Maharaja forces. They continue the war against France, with their forces attacking the Persian fleets as they go to fight the Vietnamese.
 * Sweden uses its supreme naval power to its advantage. In a stunning battle, almost the entire French navy is wiped out by the Swedish navy which loses several ships in what will be known as the Battle of the English Channel. Landings by the Swedish army group west on the French coast then quickly seize Brest and Cherbourg opening a new front to relieve pressure on Calais. Sweden's army group south seizes Orleans and proceeds on towards Rheims and Paris. Sweden offers to help the Algerian army to reach France and open another front in the south to help liberate Naples. Sweden's army group north is nowhere as successful with multiple losses and few victories against the Russian army. However the Emperor orders the gattling gun to be used on the Russian army in the next battle as a last resort against the Russian's superior man and firepower. The gattling gun is a success in the Battle of Helsinki which forces the Russians to retreat from the city but the Swedish and Finnish armies still sustained heavy losses and are unable to give chase. The IEC expands in Alaska and Asgard expands 15250 sqkm west and north cutting of the Russian colony. Minor skirmishes occur along the borders.
 * Fjordlaand initiates a full scale invasion of the sparely populated Onguayal. They also help the Coalition of the Pacific by suppling them with a portion of their army to give the Coalition much needed manpower.
 * The Russians test a new experimental artilery piece. The Second siege of helsinki is planned, and a free Finnish governement is set up in Viipuri. This new shell, designed to explode on impact will be of good use. the Pacific fleet destroys the swedes in the BEring pass, taking advantage of the weather. it later comes as re-inforcements. the black sea fleet is ordered to send reinforcements aswell. operation suomi turns out great success. Karelia and the kola, aswell as much of mainland finland are liberated. Russian forces come to relieve forces in france. A caprured Gattling gun during a siege is reverse-engineered and ordered to be priodced. many iundustrial factories are ordered to produce ammunition or weaponry. the military is holding out well, and the russinans plan an all-out assault on Helsinki, to take the city and find a foothold. some discontent grows, and with the tsar Alexander II aswell, but wants to wait unitll the war with sweden is over to say anything. Aleuts rally as many people as the swedes to theri casue, expanding the Alaska Oblast and the Aleutan Confederacy into 1/5 of the remaining alaskan territory. The Russian Artillery for the first time in recorded history uses inderect fire. the new artillery are used in "multiple guns" form polish 16-17th century designs. the first resemblance of what is now known as modern artillery emerges form a top secret IWD department. mass-produciton of weapons continues.

''' The two nations in civil disarray in the area of OTL Nigeria have by now collapsed so much that all semblace of civilization is gone, and they are totally undeveloped (AKA like the black areas of the map). However, this makes the small nations surrounded by the civil disarray capable of doubling their size ''' That's the Nipponese colony of Ringga which has been taken over by Coalition forces.
 * Sicilian Tybalto Zingarello announces that Mesheryakovism has betrayed the original collectivist principles. He declares himself to be an anarcho-collectivist, and with the help of fellow anarcho-collectivists, he overthrows Chancellor Cambio Occhiochiuso. However, Occhiochiuso escapes to Tunisia, where he declares war upon the anarcho-collectivists. Soon, Zingarello's territory is reduced to the city of Syracuse, due to the anti-Mesheryakovists, funded by the Vietnamese, revolting in the Mesheryakovists' moment of weakness. They form an organization called the Lega di Nazionalista Italiana, or the Italian Nationalist League. The Tunisian part of Sicily is divided between the Mesheryakovists, let by Chancellor Occhiochiuso, I Figli di Dio, and the LNI. La Città funds and supplies all sides. The Sicilian forces withdraw from the war to attempt to restore order in their nation.
 * Venice remains Mesheryakovist, but the LNI gains a few supporters, as do the anarcho-collectivists. The Venetian government begins cracking down on La Città, which has grown to be very powerful. Meanwhile, the Venetians continue helping the French.
 * The Israelis state that if the Caliphate ever changes their mind about the territory sale, the offer will remain. The Israeli military continues to be built up.
 * Persia's New Tehran colony expands 100x100 sq. mi. west. New Persia expands by 100x100 sq. mi south. New Isafan continues to expand by 100x100 sq. mi. north. They continue defending their American colonies and continue attacking Vietnam's colony. They tell Bharat to attack the main country in the west.
 * Finland continues to build up their military, and continue to build and improve some infrastructure and continues industrialisation. Finland also expands Hyvinkää by 400km, expands Kōshi by 450km, and expands Käwäshiro by 400km. The Republic of Kazami does not recognise the new nation that formed under Chinese Mexico and it's recognised as a part of Nippon, and is still called Korubia by the Republic of Kazami same with the Finnish colonies which call it by it's original name as well. Anyway, the Republic of Kazami and Finnish colonies continue to help Sweden and Coalition of the Pacific. Meanwhile a new colony that's on the coastal little squarish-looking area in Africa (in front of the two smaller African nations that are close to said area) is established and is called Moriyää.
 * Where?
 * Could you perhaps say what modern-day nations are there? Because coastal little squarish looking is very vague.
 * It's in the purple circled area on the map I put up. Sorry I couldn't be clear as I tried to find an city around that area but comparing the PM Africa map and the other OTL Africa maps it was hard to tell exactly where it is. Hope this clarify things...
 * The king of Neue Brandenburg dies in this year, to be replaced by Wilhelm III. He has little interest in ruling, and allows the Volkstag to keep their newfound power. Although unpopular with the people, he leaves the government alone. This leads to the Conservative Party falling apart, with most of its members joining the Royalist Party. After the Socialist overwhelming victory, the Socialists split into several factions over the war. The Mesheryakovist Party remains on the side of socialist unity, supporting alliance with Nippon and Russia-France. They have the support of the military, and remain the largest party, so Neue Brandenburg stays in the war. The Beauharnists, meanwhile, advocate more national interests, and so call for the country to switch sides in the war. The remainder form the Collectivist Party, which advocates a peaceful, democratic revolution. A national cricket side is scheduled to tour Bharat, but remains at home due to the war. Finally, Neue Wilhelmsburg expands by 500 sq km, and the nation itself by 10000 sq km.
 * Without the french troops to support them, the government in Szent András can't conrol the unrest. In March, another revolt happens.the insurgents storm the presidential palace, and take the president prisoner.In April, the rebels declare themselves independent from France.By October, a new constitution is made, and a new government is chosen.The form of government is chosen as a parliamentary monarchy.A provisional government, headed by Balázs Kiss, is founded, until the members of the parliament are chosen.Meanhile, in Ungava, some armies in the border desert to the Labradorian side, and given the small presence of troops outside of Kuujjuaq.the Labradorian government takes those territories, including the abandoned fortress of Kangiqsualujjuaq.The Labradorian government recognizes the independence of the Szent András government, which also claims to be the successor to the Newfoundlandian state.Meanwhile, at Ungava, the capital is changed to Kuujjuarapik due to the fact that Kuujjuaq is too close to the Newfoundlandian border.Meanwhile, a flag is designed for Labrador, containing the colors red, white and green, organized horizontally, in this order, from the top to the bottom (e.g. the OTL flag of Hungary).Meanwhile, in the south central part of the country, with the French troops leaving, the Newfoundlandian governent in Szent András strts to claim those areas.
 * Greece and Hungary recognize the government at Szent-András.Meanwhile, the Zeng-Ragusa railway contin ues to be built.Meanwhile, to connect the eastern parts of the country too, a new railway, from Buda to Koloszvár, is planned, and will start to be built in the next year.the military is updated.Dél-Afrika expands 11500 sq km.

 * Chamoru decides to defect to the Coalition of the Pacific after a coalition force comes to invade Chamoru. They send supplies to help fight against the Shogun.
 * The Coalition of the Pacific recognises the USA, and requests they join the coalition. The Coalition of the Pacific sees even more of the Nipponese military defecting to join the Coalition. Several Daimyo lords in Nippon also join the Coalition and start rebelling. Thanks to this the Coalition takes control of Satotochi, Taiwan, Chamoru, Nansei islands, Kyushu, Shikoku and part of Honshu. Hyogo prefecture and Osaka bay become the main battle grounds, as the Shogun's hardcore supporters try to stop the Coalition reaching Kyoto.
 * The USA builds up its inferstructure and agrees to joining the Coalition of the Pacific. Supplies are sent to help the war effort against Shogun Iemochi.
 * Shogun Tokugawa Iemochi sends his main armies to fight in Hyogo prefecture to stop the coalition forces. He asks Russia for gattling guns and the new artillery guns to help turn the tide against the coalition forces, before they seize Kyoto.
 * The Sultanate of Sokotara continues to invade OTL Somalia, and Sultan Akbar fathers a baby girl with one of his cocubines. He offers his daughter to marry the Caliph's son so the two nations join in dynastic union once Akbar dies and his possessions pass onto his daughter, and subsequently to the Caliphate. This is mostly just to make the pact more legit and stopping his son's claiming his territory.
 * Brunei begins to wined down the island hopping campaign in the Indian Ocean and consalidates the new territorial holdings. A mini baby boom occures as troops return home for a short levi. Infastructre and industry are improved. Toward the second half of the year Brunei launches a assult with thier revived fleet against Persian Singapore and the Nipponese island south of it to break the enemy control of the Strait of Malacca.
 * Coalition forces aid Brunei in the invasion of Persian Singapore, and say Brunei has guaranteed future support from other members of the Coalition of the Pacific if Brunei attacks any other Mesheryakovist nations.
