The Greater Americas (Map Game)

This game revolves around the idea that instead of all the powerful and developed nations appearing in Europe and Asia, with the Americas being discovered with less developed peoples, then being conquered and colonized - the opposite happens. The developed nations appear in the Americas, and then the rest of the world is discovered, conquered and colonized. The PoD is not clear, though it might have been to do with the way species moved as the supercontinent Pangea broke up. The game starts at the point of discovery of Europe and Africa. The calendar evolved diferently so we start in the year 812, which is equivalent to 1700s OTL. The colonization race has begun.

Rules

 * 1) Be plausible. We don't dominate the world in a week or allow alien space invaders helping your nation.
 * 2) One nation per user, except puppet states and colonies.
 * 3) Game starts in 812.
 * 4) One turn per day.
 * 5) Each turn is a year until 1000. Then each turn is six months.
 * 6) Edit the map yourself if the mods have not made the changes you need.
 * 7) Don't overcolonize. Countries can't have colonies everywhere.
 * 8) Don't expand too fast. We don't want nations to be doubling in size every day.
 * 9) The game starts on January 6th (2012).
 * 10) There is now an Algorithm on the talk page.

Archives
There will be archives every 20 years up until 1000 G.A (Greater Americas year), from when it will be 10 years. The first archive will be of 8 years, however.

The Map


''' We have a new map, and from now on, no-one edits the map but the Mods, because someone messed with the old one and ruined it. Any changes we have missed put in the Changes section below. FP 21:05, January 23, 2012 (UTC) '''

Changes
Angland controls Poland, more of Eastern Europe is discovered

Aztecs own all of Indonesia

Tips

 * Before choosing your nation, we advise you look at the country profiles page here, to see what nation you would like.
 * Once you have chosen your nation, you can change the profile to show how you are developing.
 * Feel free add any missing nations!
 * Flags are optional but advisable as they help give a national identity.
 * Colonies or puppet states can become independent from your nation if they are not happy with your nation. These then become a new nation and are added to the list, free for new players.

''' This year is a go. The previous years have been archived. '''

''' The Franks collapse as smaller nations raid them for technology and surrounding nations take over most lands of the Franks. The Mongols manage to make contact with one of Patagon's exploring ships in the area. The meetings go fine, and everything looks ok, for now atleast. '''
 * Patagon: A fleet of five ships is sent to northern Terra Australis. There, the natives agree to become part of Patagon, on the conditions that they will have full access to Patagonian technology and their current leader will still be in charge of the colony. Considering his accomplishments and popularity among his people, the high ruler agrees to this as long as the local leader will still answer to the mainland. The national economy continues to improve.
 * The Incan Empire: The Emperor issues a law giving Eu'ropa natives similar rights to Incan citizens, such as the right to own property and serve in the armed forces. While improving the natives' rights, it is far from making them equal. An exploration fleet discovers OTL Italy and colonizes OTL Sicily.
 * Incan Diplomacy: The Empire suggests that the Empire and Huari merge into one nation. The Emperor also asks the Great States for an Alliance.
 * United Kingdom of Great Britain: With the increases of foriegn colonizers, the King of Wessex marries the daughter of the King of Northumbria on January 2. The King of Northumbria is soon killed by food poisining on january 30. The King of Wessex then becomes the King of Northumbria as well. He then quickly captures the Kingdom of East Anglia on March 21, the Kingdom of Mercia on June 3, and the Kingdom of Cornwall on September 2. He then declares himself the King of All England. The Kingdom of England then comes into effect on the 22nd of September. King Christopher I of England begins to rebuild England from its wars of unification. The Scots and Irish recognize the new King of All England with the Treaty of London.
 * The Mojave: The colony of Singapore continues to expand northward, by an few miles, and increasing construction of Pearl Harbor begins. Scout ships are sent to discover what else is out there, they discover OTL Japan, Korea, and the Coast of China. Meanwhile, research on the firearm continues, and the building of the forts continue. Landing parties are sent onto the newly discover lands, but the landing parties are forced off their land, and they head back to Singapore.
 * United Amazon is all set with it's expedition, and one team of three ships head north, and land in OTL France, while the other expedition heads south, and misses OTL South Africa and instead lands in Madagascar. The sailors in France leave behind 50 men to establish a small fort using nerby resources while the rest go send information about there information, while the ones in Madagascar have to stay for the rest of the year there because of storms.
 * The Aztecs officially gain control of the Olomec and make contact with the Mojave. They ask them for an alliance and trade agreements. They establish colonies across the Philippines, covering every island except Mindanao.
 * Antilia: The King announces plans to try and capture the territories of the Karribian. Attacks are launched and the nation falls within a year. Incorporation of the nation begins and is predicted to take around a year or two.

Particularily bad El Niño activity in the Pacific causes bad flooding in the Incan Empire and a terrible drought in Terra Australis.


 * The Mojave accepts the trade and alliance agreements from the Aztecs. Research on that new firearm is complete, and is equivlant to OTL Kentucky Longrifle. The colony in Singapore continues to expand up the Malayisian Coast.
 * The Incan Empire: The Empire invades Huari and swiftly defeats the small enclave. A draft is introduced to increase military power and a lot of resources are put into R&D. Militias are ordered to assist flood-affected areas immediatly.
 * Incan Diplomacy: The The_Greater_Americas_Colonization_Sphere.pngEmpire suggests a new colonization sphere treaty and insists that all colonial powers either agree to it or propose a counteroffer.
 * Antilian Diplomacy: Antilia disagrees with the treaty for some nations have a very small area, and some have a large area but are mostly sea. The King notes that in the treaty the Incas have the most land area on the map, and it was them that proposed it, and Mojave have almost none at all.
 * Union Diplomacy: Predicts that nations will not follow the spheres and think that everyone should be able to colonize where they want to. Discussions will take place if things get bad.
 * Patagonian Diplomacy: Patagon agrees to the idea of spheres, but the current boundaries have already been violated and the land is distributed very disproportionately.
 * Incan Diplomacy: The Empire ends the plan due to lack of support.
 * Union of Great States: Due to droughts, colonizers move eastward to try and gain fertile soil and more water. Ships sail northeastward and land on what ws a former Incan colony. The establish diplomatic contact with the leader and propose a trade agreement and possible alliance. Two large colonies are established on OTL New Zealand's North Island. It is predicted that the whole island will be Union territory in 2 years.
 * Patagon: Strict water rations are imposed on the Terra Australis colony in order to help the population survive. OTL New Zealand is named Calland. They also propose to the Great States this deal: If they turn control of their Calland colonies and the eastern half of Terra Australis over to Patagon, then they shall have free access to the western half of the large island, with no opposition from Patagonian forces whatsoever.
 * Union Diplomacy: They counter offer with that the Union can have North Calland and for this Patagon will be allowed the whole East coast and Union will explore unknown territories and document their finding to the Patagon high command.
 * Patagonian Diplomacy: Patagon agrees to a split: The Union shall have western Australis and northern Calland, while Patagon will get southern Calland and eastern Australis. The Union will explore and report back to both countries as planned.
 * The Aztecs propose the Antillians an invasion of what is now OTL Colombia, and asks them to prepare for that moment. They officially settle Mindanao, laying claim to all of it. They begin to establish settlements in what is now Indonesia.
 * Antilian Diplomacy: Antilia agrees to invade as long as they get a fair share of the land. Antilian troops invade the Muisca, despite previous alliances. The navy starts a full on assault on the north coast on the Muisca, destroying several ports.
 * Kingdom of Angland: King Christopher I of England gains the support of the Irish and Scottish lords against their respective kings. After gaining the support of the Irish and Scottish lords he usurps the Scottish throne and the Irish throne. The popular rebellions kill the weak Irish and Scottish kings. The lords then sign the Magna Carta Unio (Great Charter of Union). This makes King Christopher the king of Ireland, Scottland and England. King Christopher I declares the Kingdom of Angland as the "nation that will stand against the horde of vile infidels." King Christopher calls for all Christians to "rise up against their infidel occupiers".
 * United Amazon gets word of where its expeditions landed, and they send 300 men to each location found. manufaturing rises due to the need of jobs, and the school system is funded with new tariffs.
 * The Muisca now reign over the island of Mindanao, the large island at the southern end of the Phillipines.
 * Wait a minute, two different nations claimed the same land this turn. This probably has to be resolved. I blame people for not reading each other's posts.
 * I will do an RNG for this. Aztec Mindanao: 1-5; Muisca Mindanao: 6-10. FP
 * Results: 4 = Aztec Mindanao. FP
 * Antilia: Antilia focuses mostly on the war with Muisca, but also some ships are sent to expand the colonies in New America and Gujarat.

823
''' The Incan colony is expanded by the colonists. It now covers 2/3rds of OTL Spain. '''
 * Union of Greater States: The Mojave and the Union, over talks (my talkpage) have united. All colonies of both former countries are now one. The North Calland colony is linked up and the Terra Australis colony is expanded as well. Explorers discover Aboriginals while exploring north, non-Union territory.
 * Kingdom of Angland: King Christopher now begins a rebuilding project of Ireland and Scottland. He also begins to attempt to modernize the Anglish Army and Navy using some of the technology found in the former occupied territories in Ireland. The Bishop of London, along with bishops from Edmonton, Dublin, Tipperary, and twenty-three other cities send a letter to the Pope to request the declaration of a crusade against the "invading heathens".
 * Antilia builds up defence on the border of the Muisca and continues its naval assault. The king calls for the Aztecs to invade from the thin border in the north, and also to join Antilia in the naval attack. The Gujarat colony expands, and with it comes a new colony across the Gulf of Omancia, on the OTL Arabian Peninsula. It is named Omancia.
 * Antilian Diplomacy: Historians from Antilia would like all nations affected by the tsunami on 1st November 818 to put out an approximate or official death toll, so the entire scale of the loss of life can be accepted. Antilia's was 19,280.
 * Incan Diplomacy: The loss of life from Incan Colonies is about 10,340.
 * Union Diplomacy: The loss of life was around 35,675.
 * Antilian Diplomacy: Though not under Antilian control at the time, the Karribian death toll of over 78,530 is added to the number. Unless other nations add more to the tally, the global death toll stands at >143,825.
 * The Incan Empire: The Empire increases the amount of soldiers in its overseas colonies. Fortifications are built along the northern border and along the coast. Hospitals are built across the Empire. A navy base and fortress are constructed on the Galapagos Islands.

 * The Aztecs declares the invasion of the Muisca. They send troops to the southern border of the empire to invade the northern region. Northern Borneo is covered in Aztec settlements, who hope to explore deep down into the region.
 * United Amazon: The Amazonians land more men in France, bringing the total population to 1,000 as cows are discovered and are able to produce milk. Men are also sent to Madgscar, and bring back wild animals as tribute to the king. United Amazon offically declares these colonies part of United Amazon.
 * Patagon: Supplies are sent to all three overseas Patagonian territories in order to build schools. The leaders of South Calland begin negotiations with the tribes on the northern half of the island about expansion. It is strongly urged that the war against the Muisca must end; it is wholly unnescesarry and irresponsible, and it will tear apart the fledgling South American Union. However, if the war is to continue, Patagon will side with the Incans and the Muisca. The army and navy are readied for combat.
 * Antilian Diplomacy: Antilia agree that the losses have become so great in vain and so Antilia pull out of the war, and declare neutrality.
 * Patagonian Diplomacy: Patagon urges the Aztecs to end their campaign as well.
 * Antilian Diplomacy: Antilia greatly apologises to the Muisca about the pointless war, and the rash decisions made that led towards it. The King offers a renewed alliance. He also urges the Aztecs to end this pointless war, but still Antilia is neutral in the war.
 * The Aztecs agree and apoligizes.

824

 * Patagon: The army and navy are still on standby over possible Aztec aggression towards Muisca. Hearing about the success of the Mojave longrifle, funds are allocated for development of a superior Patagonian firearm. The South Calland colony expands to cover the entire island.


 * United Amazon begins exploring more of the French Inland, and establish a second colony north of the first one. In Madgscar, exploration is also continueing, however a shipment full of supplies and 500 men miss Madgscar and land instead north of the Antila Colony, however they are interested in the fertile ground and decide to stay. An alliance request is sent to Antilia.
 * Antilian Diplomacy: The alliance is accepted.


 * The Aztecs end their campaign in Muisca. Norneo is officially under the Aztecs and the coast of OTL Vietnam is being settled. The military and navy are expanded and upgraded.
 * The Incan Empire: Military expeditions in the Mediterranean conquer Corsica, Sardinia, and the Balearic Islands. A trading fleet discovers OTL Greece. Schools are built across the Empire.
 * Incan Diplomacy: The Emperor suggests to the South Andean Union that the two countries come together as a new country like the Union of Greater States.
 * Union of Greater States: More colonizers go to Terra Australia and some colonizers decide to live live as the natives. The try to go and communicate with the Aboriginals. Eventually, translators are trained and communication and trading begins. Some colonizers take it upon themselves to help the Aboriginals who want to jion the colonizers.
 * Antilia: More ships are sent to populate the South New American colony, and its expands along the coast. The newly constructed port on New Tobago is opened, offering a new trading post for the colonies. Due to this, Antilia offers a trade agreement to the Incas and the United Amazon, and all their respective colonies.
 * Incan Diplomacy: The Empire accepts.
 * Kingdom of Angland: King Christopher I of England now begins to build up the industry in England, Scottland, and Ireland. The King also begins to make changes in the military which allowed for more gunpowder units to be deployed than the common spear/pike infantry commonly deployed at this time. The King orders the first general conscription which made all able bodied males between the ages of 18-25 to serve in the milita or federal army.

825
'''More comes to be known about the Australian Aboriginals and colonizers from Patagon and UGS show more interest in learning their ways. Meanwhile, relations with the Maori start to deteriorate due to the languge difference on both islands. '''


 * Patagon: Seeing as only a few Patagonian colonizers know the languages of the natives on both islands, a team of diplomats are sent to both islands to learn about and befriend the natives. They plan to learn the languages and train translators, who would then teach the languages in Patagonian schools. The natives are considered equal to any Patagonian citizen and therefore have all the rights of one, but the language barrier must be broken first. These diplomats will also teach the natives the Patagonian language. Back on the mainland, the economy continues to improve, and Patagonian supremicists protest all of the recent equal-rights laws brought about by the high ruler.


 * The Aztecs continue to expand south on Borneo and Indochina. The military and navy continue to expand and upgrade. it proposes a union with the UGS concerned about the growing power of South American States.


 * United Amazon begins sending more colonists to the colonies. The sale of land is encourged, however the first prices were considered high by many, so land was given away for free. The French colony grew the most, as many people had a interest in the new animal "cow" as called by the natives. The colony's population reached 15,000, the South African colony: 4,000, The Madgscar Colony: 3,000. United Amazon begins to expand the French colony east, to get more land to sale to Amazonians, the South African colony is expanded eastward as well. Back at home, the steam engine is created (not implausible, the first steam engine was made in 1796), and small-scale workshops and a few factories as well begin to open. Wood is used for fuel, since there is no coal.
 * Anglish Diplomacy: We order that you RETREAT from Europe IMEADIATLEY and give your land back to the Christian Europeans, you spineless heathen mongrel!!
 * The Incan Empire: High-ranking Military officers reform the armed forces, adopting new skirmishing tactics and issuing soldiers new rifles. With this change, the army expands into northerneastern Spain/southern France.
 * Incan Diplomacy: The Emperor assures the Aztecs that the South American nations are not violent by nature and askes for an Alliance. The Emperor also askes for a Union between the Empire and the South Andean Union.
 * Anglish Diplomacy: We order that you RETREAT from Europe IMEADIATLEY and give your land back to the Christian Europeans, you spineless heathen mongrel!!
 * Incan Diplomacy: The Emperor denies the King's order, but instead legalizes Christrianity. Troop levels are increased in Eu'ropan colonies and armies are ordered to be on standby.
 * Kingdom of Angland: The King continues to modernize the military with newer muskets and tactics. They begin to hire hunters to teach the archers and muketmen the art of guriella warfare. The Priests and Bishops in the nation prepare the nation for a Holy War against the "heathen mongrels from across the sea". The Anglish begin to massivley arm their people for war against the invaders. The King of Angland attempts to contact the Pope once more and once again requests a crusade be called.
 * Could a mod tell me what the Pope says to the Crusade call or if the King can even contact him?
 * Yec, can whoever in charge of inactive nations start to respond to player's requests?
 *  Calm it. Unless you have discovered Italy, which will happen in around 2-3 years, you cannot call a crusade. What you could do next turn is say that explorers go looking for the famous pope. 
 * Angland is a European country and unless contact was lost with the Pope the King should be able to contact the Pope and other European rulers.
 * Besides, it says that the Incas discovered Italy in 821.
 *  Fair point, I was looking at it from the angle of an "American". I would say if you can convince the pope (RNG that), you can go crusading. 
 * Union of Greater States: Inspired by what the Patagonians are trying to do, the UGS also sends out a team of diplomats to both islands to learn about and befriend the natives. They plan to learn the languages and train translators, who would then teach the languages in UGS schools. Although previous translators already understand and can translate the language, this is planned to go a step further. Many more ships are sent out to Terra Australis, equavalent to 3 fleets. The colony in OTL Africa is given less priority.

826

 * The Aztecs continue to expand their colonies at Borneo, where all of central Borneo and the coast of OTL Vietnam is now occupied. THe military and navy continue expanding and upgrading.
 * United Amazon sends more men and soldiers to France in response to the Anglish threat presented. The population reaches 60,000, and the South African also reaches 60,000, thanks to the increased miltary presence. Madgscar finally breaks 10,000, but growth is slow and there is talk about giving it up. However, Madgscar is kept for now. The French AND South African colonies keeps expanding east, however the Madgscar doesn't expand much.
 * Kingdom of Angland: The King continues to prepare the country for the inevitable war with the Americans and continues to build large amounts of muskets. The King also continues to enforce the conscription of the people into local militias and give them training. The Anglish Bishops continue to preach out against the beliefs of the Americans and encourage people on the mainland to resist the Americans.
 * The Incan Empire: The Empire concludes its draft with every able-bodied male from 18 to 40 in the armed forces. The Army also introduces cavalry after large numbers of horses are tamed. The naval base and fortress on the Galapagos Islands are completed.
 * Incan Diplomacy: The Emperor offers the South Adean Union one last chance to join the Empire in a peaceful union.
 * Patagon: Plans are made to expand the Australis colony westward. The development of the new rifle is complete, and is distributed among the bulk of Patagonian troops. A large improvement project is begun for the navy. More land near the Rio Parana is converted to farmland, while more factories are built in the cities.
 * UGS: Arms manifacturing is commenced to upgrade army weapons. The colony on Terra Australis is expanded to ecompass most of known land east.

827

 * United Amazon continues expanding the French colony, with the population reacheing 120,000. The South African colony reaches 100,000. Cows are being domesticated and sent back to the homeland. The king eats the first cow in South America. The natives in South Africa and France are being pushed back or killed, as the Amazionians need a lot of land to raise cows. The miltary is expanded, and research for a new gun begins as the first students from the schools built earlier graduate.
 * The Aztecs continue to expand and upgrade their military and navy. Aztec control of the Borneo island continues to expand south as it defeats numerous tribes on the island, who are sacrificed as prisoners of war.
 * Kingdom of Angland: The Anglish launch an invasion of the Pas-de-Calais with 15,000 soldiers the Crown Prince of Angland, Christopher II, personally leads the army and quickly destroys the weakened Frenchmen. The Pas-de-Calais is totally taken over by the end of the year and most of the Frenchmen swear fealty to the King of Angland. The King does this to 1) capture more land for Angland, 2) to keep land away from the Americans, and 3) destroy the traditional rivals of the English. The King offers an alliance with the Incans if they introduce Christianity to the Incan mainland in south America and the rest of thier colonies.
 * Incan Diplomacy: The Emperor states that Christianity has already spread to the Incan heartland by native Iberian traders, and that the Empire does not have a policy of spreading religions. He is still interested in the Alliance.
 * Wait, who did you attack. Did you attack French natives, the Incans, or the Amazonians.
 * I believe he meant the native French.
 * Okay, that makes sense.
 * Patagon: The navy continues to be upgraded and expanded, and more schools are built throughout Patagon and the overseas territories. Patagonian researchers realize the potential of the steam engine and begin experimenting with it. Supremicists, resenting the equal treatment of the natives in the colonies, stage protests in Buenos Aires. Patagonian farmers purchase some cows from the Amazonians in order to expand their businesses, and the liquid known as "milk" becomes the latest fad.
 * The Incan Empire: Soldiers and colonists spread further into Southern France, establishing a border with the Amazonian colony. Fleets explore OTL Iceland and Japan. To ease strains with Christians, all forms of Human sacrifice are banned throughout the Empire.
 * Incan Diplomacy: The Emperor offers the South Andean Union one last chance to become federate with the Empire into a new country. Annoyance with years of failed negotiations result in increased troops along the southern border.

828
''' Relations improve significantly with the native Aboriginals and they tell the colonizers about all lands they know about in Terra Australis. All areas of Terra Australis is open to explorers now. '''
 * Patagon: The upgrading of the navy is near completion. Seeing that relations with the Aboriginals of Australis are good, an expansion treaty is proposed to the lands south and west of the colony. The high ruler, back at home, proposes that slavery shall be outlawed and punishable by death in all Patagonian territories, which only serves to further inflame the extremists. Finally, Patagon offers to send the South Andean Union enough rifles to arm half of their army in exchange for the Strait of Magellan, the lands to the south, and the lands 10 miles to the north of the strait. The Union would still be able to use the strait freely. These rifles would be manufactured and sent over a period of five years.
 * Union Diplomacy: The Union of Greater States offer Patagon half of Terra Australis while they can keep the other half. Like so: Australia deal (The Greater Americas).png
 * Patagonian Diplomacy: Patagon accepts this offer, assuming that the split will be east-west. I was speaking to the South Andean Union, though, not you.
 * Union Diplomacy: We know. However, we were just offering the land.
 *  South Andean Diplomacy:  The South Andean Union agrees to the exchange of the land, however it wants to keep control of the Strait of Mallegan.
 * The Aztecs take over all of central Borneo and continue south. The Molaccas are being colonized the the coast of Indochina is officially Aztec. The military and navy continue expanding and upgrading. They propose a dynastic union with the Antillas and Incans.
 * Incan Diplomacy: The Emperor states that he is interested in a dynastic union but questions where the capital would be and how the nations would stay united.
 * Something like the Franco-Sweish Union in Principia Moderni. There qould be three capitals: a political capital at the Aztec capital, an economic capital at the Incan capital, and a military capital at the Antillian capital.
 * Incan Diplomacy: The Emperor states that he needs to think about the union. He is not saying no, he just needs time to consider it.
 * Antilian Diplomacy: The King has the same response as the Incans. It is in consideration.
 * United Amazon continues expanding it's colonies, in France the colonists expand north due to the lack of French Natives, and being expanding east as well. It South African colony also expands east, and offical population counts are: France, 250,000, South Africa, 170,000, Madgscar, 25,000. The population in South Africa explodes because of gold mines found there, and the king gets the first piece of gold mined in South Africa. The king orders more people to be sent there, and the price of land is lowered to atract more people.
 * The Incan Empire: The Empire invades the South Andean Union. The new cavalry catches the enemy by surprise, and the army advances 30 miles into the country. Incan soldiers and settlers colonize OTL Iceland, valueing its strategic position.
 * Incan Diplomacy: The Empire offers to purchase United Amazon's colony in Eu'ropa in exchange for two tons of gold.
 * Anglish Diplomacy: The Kingdom of Angland accepts an alliance with the Incans if they allow the Pope to apoint Bishops to Incan cities and establish churches in Incan lands.
 * United Amazon kindly rejects the offer due to the fact that the French colony is the biggest colony the Amazonians have. Please tell me you were talking about france and not Jupitar's moon. I looked up europa.
 * Yes I meant France. In this game Europe is refered to as Eu'ropa.
 * Kingdom of Angland: The Kingdom of Angland continues to expand its French holdings and lands 4,000 extra troops into France as they continue to expand. In several places the French people joyously accept the Anglish as "protectors of the faith". The Anglish continue to expand their manufacturing industry.
 * Union of Greater States: With the language learned, the colonizers take upon themselves to "modernize and civilize" the Arboriginals. They move north-westward to capture the territory and bring the aboriginals into their fold. They ask for more funding from the Union, to which they reluctantly agreed to. However, the Union puts focus to colonize the Malayan colony into Indochina. It has silently been expanding but finally has been put on fast-track. The natives are mostly avoided as they head into Indochina.
 * Antilia expands all colonies, stretching food rescources and water supplies. King Osoa offers an alliance to the Kingdom of Angland across the ocean, and gives them support in the territorial takeover on the mainland. Troops are sent to help organise the locals.

829

 * The Aztecs: made an extraordinary discovery. They have invented the wheel. They decide to use this technology for transportation and military uses. Borneo is officially Aztec, and so are the Molaccas. They make contact with the Chinese and ask for trade agreements. The military and navy continue to expand and upgrade.
 * Hasn't the wheel been around for thousands of years?
 * I believe that if American nations can sail around the world and have guns, I think they would have the wheel.
 *  The wheel has been around for ages. Think about something before you put it in, please. FP 
 * United Amazon: Seeing as the Anglish are now right next to the French Colony, it now begins expanding South and East. Unlucky land owners here who bought this land when no one moved out here, now have a large demand for their land. They turn into wealthy land owners by selling it, and soon begin buying out a large amount of land East, helping the colony expand. Forts are also built around the border next to the Anglish. The Amazionians begin to step up their colonization program, with it becoming the first priority, hundreds of thousands of Amazionians leave their rainforest tribes and get a free ticket (courtesy of the Government) and move to France or South Africa, and a few move the Madgscar. Manufacturing is expanded as people are moving into cities and now need jobs.
 * Patagon: The naval expansion is complete, and with all the farms and factories also being finished, the national economy improves. On December 26th, huge supremicist mobs clash with the security forces in Catamarca, a city of 100,000 in northwestern Patagon. Outnumbered and taken by surprise, the security forces are overwhelmed and the city falls. The leader of the mobs, Galzra Rodriguez, demands that the equal-rights laws are repealed, or else he will attack other towns. Reports of his abuse of the population reach Buenos Aires as rumors.
 * The Incan Empire: The Empire suffers a military defeat in the South Andean Union, stalling their advance. Soldiers expand the Iceland colony to the whole island, and an expedition lands in Southern Italy.
 * Incan Diplomacy: The Empire requests that Patagon does not trade with the South Andean Union until the war is over.
 * Patagonian Diplomacy: Patagon will agree to this only if the Incans agree to turn over the Strait of Magellan and the surrounding territories if they win the war. They also must treat the Andean citizens as if they were equal to Incan citizens. If the strait were to go to Patagon, the Incans would still be able to use it.
 * Incan Diplomacy: The Empire agrees to treating the Andeans as citizens and propses this division plan.The_Greater_AmericasAndeanDivision.png

The Anglish Navy begins to expand and build more ships. The King begins the contstruction of the Royal Armory of Cornwall which whould be a huge ironworks that whould be able to manufacture huge amounts of industrial goods, it is expected to be finnished by 835GA.
 * Union of Greater States: Both colonies, in Malaysia and Australia are expanded. The Aboriginals in the west join the colony. The people are treated equally due to their similar skin colour with the citizens of the Union and objection can't be raised to this. It is learned that the Aboriginal lifestyle is like the ones the early Unionists lived and It is decided that a new flag will be raised for Terra Australis. The army is extensively trained as the threat from the north, according to intelligence reports, has significantly increased.
 * Germany-Switzerland: Germany-Switzerland asks Angland to help unite with the three other German states and the other Italian states. G-S invades it eastern German neighbor and takes it over, annexing it.

830
''' Many Patagonian colonists move south and westward, accepting Aboriginals into their country. The clash and riots continue on their homeland, however. '''

''' Meanwhile, a huge exploration drive by Aztec, Antillian and Unionist explorers help discovered many new areas in Asia, with most of the credit being rightly given to the Aztec explorers. '''


 * United Amazon: continues expanding it's colonies. In France, colonists are asked to get family members to move to the colony and move East. The colony reaches half a million people. The South Africa colony expands Eastward, and reaches 400,000 people. In Madgscar, the population booms as many countries are moving West and East, it realises it could be a major trading colony. Ports and a few paved roads are built, as needed to trade. It reaches a population of 75,000 people. Manufacturing gets a major boost when coal deposits are discovered, and it turns out this is a better fuel source than timber for the Steam Engine. Factories are slowly being built, however they are providing a good source of jobs in the face of many people leaving their vilages and tribes for the cities and colonies.
 * Union of Greater States: For the first time since colonization, a defence force is made for Terra Australis, consisting of Unionists and Aboriginal peoples. Many more tribes are incorperated into the Colony and the colony grows significantly this year, mainly through desert lands. Meanwhile, food harvest has been good this year and people are starting to move into towns and cities. Road construction is commisioned in both Terra Australis and the Union mainland.
 * The Incan Empire: The Empire continues its war against the Andean Union. A naval victory allows the army to continue to advance to the capital, and explosive grenades are developed to force enemies out of caves. An Incan Army conquers northern Spain.
 * Incan Diplomacy: The Emperor askes the UGS for an alliance. The Emperor also publishes a document. Called the Eu'ropa Codex, it states that the Empire's goal is to colonize all of Eu'ropa.
 * Union Diplomacy: After much debate, it is decided that the offer for an alliance will be accepted by the Union. However, they do not agree to the Eu'ropa Codex, stating that other nations might also want to have a significant portion of land in Eu'ropa.
 * You know that the codex was not part of diplomacy, right? It was just stating my intentions for part of the game.
 * I do. I have no intention of starting a colony on Eu'ropa. I am just saying that we don't agree to the idea of the Codex.
 * Okay, cool.
 * Patagon: The colonists in Australis expand west and south. On January 3rd, the supremicists launch attacks on local towns and sieze them. Several platoons of Patagonian troops head out from a nearby base on January 6th after hearing of the news, and they attack one of the captured towns. They manage to retake it, but are greatly disturbed by the high-caliber weapons in the supremicist's possession, weapons they did not have when the riots started in Catamarca. The army manages to capture a merchant who fought with the supremicists, and under interrogation he reveals the supremicists had been receiving training, weapons, and funds from himself and other wealthy sources. The mobs continue to attack other towns in the region, slowly carving out a lawless territory of about 100 miles squared. Galzra Rodriguez states, "We will not stop this noble insurrection until the government stops dealing with those filthy Aboriginals as full people!" On June 25th, the Patagonian army sets up a blockade around the supremicists' territory in order to prevent further expansion. However, due to the supremicist's advanced weaponry, they cannot retake the lands. A full investigation is ordered to find out where they are getting their supplies. Meanwhile, in the desert and by the coastline, many other Patagonians are enraged by Galzra's brutal rule and enlist in the army to fight against him. Even some Aboriginals travel to the country to join in the fight, despite the obvious risks that entails.
 * The Aztecs control all of the East Indies except Jakarta and Sumatra. The military and navy continue expanding and upgrading. The emperor makes a historic visit to Spain, where he is converted into Roman Catholicism. After this, he begins to westernize his country after the Spanish architecture and the Christian religion. They begin to settle lands on what is now Sri Lanka. They ask the UGS for an alliance and trade agreements. It asks the Incans and Antillians if they have made their disicion of unity, and asks the UGS to join.
 * Kingdom of Angland: The Kingdom of Angland attacks the Danes and North Germans and quickly take control of the Danish peoples after they capture King Otto XI of Denmark in the Battle of Hannover, the Anglish then secure unconditional surrender of the Danes and North Germans in the Treaty of Copenhagen. The Anglish send a ship to Incan allies filled with missionaries and Christians. It lands in the city of Lima and they found the Cathedral of Saint Thomas Aquinas in the city. Many missionaries begin to preach all throughout Incan lands.
 * Germany-Switzerland: G-S invades the final two independant German nations, conquering them both and annexing them. Anglands conquest of Denmark and northern Germany is recognized. This gives G-S northern Rome/Italy, and further invasions are sent into the rest of free Italy, and the Papal States fall in late December, giving waht was once free Italy and non-Angland Germany to G-S.
 *  Way too fast, you don't even have a standing army and you invade countries. Even if you did, all you would get is one country not 4 or 5. Think about it. 

831

 * Union of Greater States: The Turresund Kingdom is invaded, on the pretext of national security. A blockade is begun with all available ships and the The Turresund navy is soundly defeated in a series of naval battles as they were no match to the Union navy. The army also does well and the Australis defence force is also brought in to support the main army. A third of the nation falls, and the remainder doesn't manage to hold out any well as the blockade takes its toll. The war is expected to be over in 2 more years.
 * I'm not a mod, but I have to say taking over all of the nation in one turn seems a bit fast, especially considering the size of the country and their army. (IhaveSonar) 
 *  Fair point. I did kinda get carried away. 
 * Vulktarn: After the last erruption from mt.Lemsa the citizens of Vulktarm had riots after nothing was done to aid them. they fought for a new goverment and eventually they had won the new goverment was formed. Aid was sent out striaght away to damged towns. The goverment paid scientists to try and figure out how to predict erruptions to give the people a safe get away. The goverment also sent out parties to improve relations with neighbouring countries around them. The volcano had constructed a new land scape for people to build on although it may take some time due to the poverty in the town.
 * Union Diplomacy: The Union asks for an alliance and a trade agreement with Vulktarn and sends desperately needed aid to the country.
 * Vulktarn Diplomacy: the alligance is accepted and aid helps towns start rebuilding efforts in areas.
 * The Incan Empire: Incan Soldiers enter the South Andean capital, ending the fighting. However, the peace treaty and unification treaty are not to be signed until next year. Armies and colonists expand in Italy, conquering Rome in March and defeating Venice in July. Colonists also move east to Greece and colonize Crete and the Peloponese. A fleet estalishes a small trading/military colony on the southern island of Japan after they scare the native Japanese with gunpowder weapons.
 * Incan Diplomacy: Knowing how much the Pope is to the Empire's Christians, the Emperor grants the Pope special status. He becomes the most protected religious figure after the Emperor himself.
 * United Amazon takes over the rest of France, and now border Germany-Switzerland. They ask them for an alliance, as well a non-aggression pact. They begin to build forts along the Incan border in Spain, to keep them out. Now that all land in France has been taken, the leaders of the nation are glad that they have two colonies in Africa. South Africa is expanded breatly, as well as Madgscar. Gold mining is stepped up as it is needed to finance the colonial expeditions. They also send a few more expeditions into Africa to explore more of the inland. Factories are now in every meduim sized city (30,000) has a factory. Maunfacturing makes up one tenth of the Amazonian economy, though it still won't make a huge impact till the next century when more inventions are made.
 * Incan Diplomacy: The Emperor offers the Amazonian people one last chance to sell their Eu'ropa colony along with some of their border territory to the Incas. They may choose their price.
 * United Amazon Diplomacy: The King tells the Incans that their Eu'ropa colony is their most populated colony, so it would make no sense to sell it. They don't want to sell land in United Amazon either, but ask istead if they want to invade a neighboring nation, such as the East American Confedercy.
 * You forgot that the Empire also wants to buy some of your border in South America.
 * Fixed it.
 * The Aztecs continue to westernize under the cultural and Christian influence from Spain and Italy. The original religion is officially banned, with Christianity as the substitute. The Aztecs secure Jakarta and Sumatra, planning to colonize Japan. The military and navy continue expanding and upgrading. They try to make sure people are Christians by giving benefits who those who are Christian and punishments for those who are not.
 * You are aware that by westernizing you would be making your nation more primitive, right? Remember, the American Nations are the more advanced. Switching the religions would also probably incur riots.
 * When I mean that, I mean in terms of architecture (Greco-Roman), art (Byzantium), and religion.
 * Just giving you a fair warning, I made a colony at Japan and if you do the same, that might create conflict.
 * Germany-Switzerland (Temporary under control of Monster Pumpkin): Germany starts to copy foriegn technology to repel any nations that might threaten it.

The King of Angland considers crowning himself the King of All Europe and announcing the Kingdom of Europe. (I want to see what ya'll think about this and any other suggestions you have as I'm sick of the name "Angland".)
 * Incan Diplomacy: The Emperor states that the King of Angland cannot declare himself the King of Europe, as most of Europe is out of his control. It also directly contradicts the Eu'ropa Codex, the Incan Document stating the Empire's goal to colonize all of Eu'ropa.
 * Why not change your name to Britian or something if you don't like Angland? 
 * Because I want something althist-ish, something different/new.
 * Patagon: The majority of the army, swelled with new recruits and Aboriginal ranks, gathers on the southeastern side of the rebels' territory. On February 17th, at 3:26 PM, the rebels make a push into the army in attempt to break the blockade, but to no avail. The rebels are forced to retreat, and the army advances into the area from the southeast. The bulk of the rebels' defenses vanquished, battalions from the north and south are also commanded to attack, routing the rest of the forces. The army is ordered on pain of death to not intentionally harm civilians, only those who chose to disturb the peace in the first place. On March 8th, after a series of smaller skirmishes, the Patagonian army lays siege to Catamarca, the de facto rebel capital. The rebels have developed some kind of revolving cannon which sews havoc in the lines, but their lack of numbers proves to be their undoing, and the city is retaken by midnight. The inhabitants of the city rejoice, as Galzra had executed whoever stood up against him and had failed to provide many basic civil services to the population. The army learns from documents in a former rebel bunker that the insurgents had been funded by disgruntled Incan army officers, and that Galzra and a few of his cohorts had fled to the relatively lawless lands of the East American Confederacy. Enraged, the high ruler sends a message to the Incan Empire demanding that these villains be tried and suitably punished. Much of the population cheers at the victory. Most of the country had been friendly to the Aboriginals anyway, seeing as both lands are mainly comprised of desert, and therefore the peoples had developed similar customs and traditions. The high ruler hopes that the victory will bring the two lands closer together as a unified country, and states that he himself wants to behead Galzra when the rogue is captured.
 * Incan Diplomacy: The Emperor announces that most of the officers have been arrested and are awaiting trial. Several others deserted to the East American Confederacy.
 * The Auorian Tribes:The new country Auoria, Led diplomatically by The Auorian Tribes, is having troubles and rioting on its new and changed policies on whaling and bear poaching. Riots have broken out in the southern areas, both east and west. The Goverment are continuing to push with these new laws, and hope that our law enforcement can keep the unruly rioters at bay. Also on the other hand, The Goverment are are also asking for land in the West Mountains which are becoming important in land and hunting in those areas, and they are offering whale and support for some of the North-West Territories. Also we are sending settlers and colonies to Northern Eu'ropa, The Far North East Asia, and The small Archipelago north of Eu'ropa, And the Goverment is investing in war arms and military, to improve the army and its defense.
 * Antilia: Antilia sends envoys to the newly formed government in the Auorian Tribes and offers a formal alliance. Colony ships are focused on the sparsely populated Omancia colony. A new form of wagonrail is created and construction begins on a huge wagonway along the coast. The government comes up with a huge construction idea that will open up the western coast of America to the East. The project is offered to the Aztecs as it takes place on Aztec soil. The plan is to build a massive canal across the thin isthamus of the Panama area.

832

 * Union of Greater States: The war against the Turresund continues and another third is conquered. For the first time in the war, the Australis defense force moves into the front lines and allows the main army some rest. The Turresund, however, counter-attack and inflict major casualities. In Terra Australis, the last remaining tribes join Union Australis and no more expansion will be carried out due to the "Australis Treaty" with the Patagonians. More troops from the defense force are sent to the Turresund front from Union Australis and constription is carried out in Union Australis as well as the mainland. This starts to cause slight rioting and for now, the army have it under control.
 * The Incan Empire: Incan engineers discover a way to mass produce some types of delicate machinery. As a result, the revolving cannon (OTL Puckle Gun) enters into production and soon enters the military as well. A peace and unification treaty is signed between the Empire and the South Andean Union, merging both countries into The Incan Empire of the Andes. Swarms of colonists spread across Japan, and with the government supporting them they conquer all of Honshu. Rights similar to the Eu'ropans are given to the Japanese.
 * Vulktarn: Rebuilding efforts are finished and towns are now running again although a few towns may need a bit more work. Scientists increase efforts to discover when the next eruption is going no where. With money left over from aid given the goverment try to destroy poverty in towns and to improve millitary defences.
 * Patagon: On April 1st, an elite squad of Patagonian and Aboriginal troops raids 10 miles into the border of the East American Confederacy. There, they find several huts which house Galzra and his supporters. After some resistance, they are captured and the rebellion officially ends. Galzra was in is underwear when he was captured and, according to the troops, looked like a miserable fool. Henceforth, the day was proclaimed a national holiday by the name of April Fools' Day. Supplies and troops are sent to Catamarca and the surrounding towns in order to help rebuild from the rebellion. Many of the Aboriginals choose to permenantly relocate to Patagon, as opposed to travelling all the way back to Australis. The Australis territory expands to the west and the southwest, but the tribes to the direct south, where the original Patagonian colonists were once denied landing, refuse to join.
 * United Amazon: Now that all the land bordering France has been taken, colonists have moved into small towns or taken any land that was still for free. As a result, population density rises. The South African colony is expanded as well as Madgscar as people now need more land to farm with. The South African colony expands Eastward, while the Madgcar colony keeps expanding north. Expeditions sent out earlier have eastblished a small town Eastward, near a river. This has brought many farmers to the South African colony. Madgscar has become a major trade stop for Amazionian merchants heading toward other colonies.
 * The Aztecs continue the religious and culture Christnianization. The military and navy continue to expand and upgrading. They establish a colony in Southern Honshu.
 * The Incas already own Honshu. Please read other people's posts and do more than just expand and upgrade your military. Actually tell us how it is upgrading.

 * The Auorian Tribes: The Auorian Goverment has accepted The Antillians' Request for the two nations to become allies, as well as continuing to build up the army. The Hunting Polices on Bears and Whaling have gone through and the rioters have been stopped. The Goverment has still had no reply from the West Mountains, and are still waiting.
 * Union Diplomacy: The Union ask for an alliance and trade agreement for the betterment of both nations.
 * Auorian Diplomacy: The Auorian Goverment graciously acccept the agreement.
 * Antilia: A new form of rifle recently developed by scientists is put to the test when an uprising from the east demending the King's abdication is quickly quelled by the military. The government offers Vulktarn a research agreement to try and discover the workings of volcanoes. An alliance is also offered. A trade agreement is offered to the United Amazon via the Antilian trading post in New Tobago and the Amazonian one in Madagascar. A drought in Omancia causes many people to up sticks and move across the sea to the crowded Gujarat colony.
 * Union Diplomacy: The Union wishes to buy the rifles off Antilia and set up factories in both countries.
 * Antilian Diplomacy: Antilia agrees and intends to begin shipment ASAP. Construction begins on the factories.

833

 * Union of Greater States: The war against the Turresund Kingdom is finished and the whole country is under is under Union control. However, a small portion is allowed independence and is left as the Turresund. The incorperation of the country begins and is expected to take a few more years. The defence force is quickly returned to Terra Australis when the government learn that they would be large scale rioting otherwise. Society in Terra Australis is still adapting and many new construction projects are started on Australis and Calland. Roads construction will continue and a new parliament building will be built to control the provinces.
 * Kingdom of Angland: The Anglish launch an attack from bases in North Germany and Poland to attack the Swedes. The Anglish forces land and quickly beat back the resisting locals.

 * The Auorian Tribes: The Auorian Tribe is flourishing and has plans to continue the colonization of Northern Asia, as well as they are sending a formal alliance to Vulktarn, as well as a trade suggestion to The Union of Greater States. The Military is advancing rapidly, as well as the scienctific discoveries. They have also send some resources to Turresund to help it recover from the war.
 * Union Diplomacy: The Union accepts the trade suggestion and thinks that Auroia, Vulktarn and the Union should set up joint research facilities and military bases as well as participate in joint military exercises.
 * Vulktarn Diplomacy: Vulktarn agrees to be allies and likes the idea of the joint facilities and military bases.
 * Union Diplomacy: Union scientists at once will visit the site of the volcanoes and to do some reaserch. Spots for bases are also mapped out.
 * The Incan Empire of the Andes: Expansion in Italy, Greece, and Japan result after the capture of Venice, Athens, and Kyoto. Slavery is outlawed because the Emperor thinks it is immoral. The Empire accepts refugees from the Aztec Empire, who are fleeing because the government outlawed the original religion.
 * Incan Diplomacy: The Emperor requests that the Aztec Empire and Vulktarn leave Japan alone, as it already has a sizeable Incan colony.
 * Vulktarn: Scientific reasearch had failed, but scientists have discovered that volcanoes give of sulphur and other elements and rocks. Vulktarn goverment take advantage of this and decides to have sulphur as their main export. Vulktarn sends in a mining team to check if it is safe enough to mine and if it is mineable. Also Vulktarn has decided to expand by colonizing Honshu, Angolia and Nigeria. Millatary research continues.
 * Incan Diplomacy: The Emperor suggests that, in order to prevent a divided Japan, the Empire purchase the Vulktarn colony for almost anything they ask. The Emperor eagerly waits for a response.
 * Antilia: Antilia decide to use the info on volcanoes from Vulktarn to find some of their own sulfur rescources, but with no avail. A huge new observatory is built on a mountaintop near Maracaibo, and new discoveries are made almost immediately. A huge colourful cloud of gas is discovered in the well known consellation of Orion. It is named a nebula. Also, a huge galaxy is discovered and called the Gurpila Galaxy, the Basque word for wheel.
