The Japanese's expansion in Kamchatka needs to be added, as I'm still continuing to expand up there. -Kogasa  2013年3月09日 06:18:37 (JST)

Could you add my 30.3% of the coast of N. Island please collie. And I expanded into Khandesh during the famine and provided its people with food and removed its king. Oh, and I vassalised Negara Daha. Thanks. :)  Imp (Say Hi?!) 21:36, March 8, 2013 (UTC)
 * I don't know where Negara Daha is, but your vassals already seem like they are about to get over the limit, if they already hev'nt gone past it. (your diplomatically acquired vassals can't, all put together, be more than half the size of your nation.)--Collie Kaltenbrunner (talk) 07:01, March 9, 2013 (UTC)


 * Clearly_otherwise_(PMII).png, collie, with Khandesh - I am pretty sure it will be less than half. However, if someone can count all the pixels of Orissa and tell me what is half (and tell me the combined px of my vassals is more than half), I'll not lay claim to it. [[Image:1.png|23px]] Imp (Say Hi?!) 14:55, March 9, 2013 (UTC)


 * Anyway, Khandesh is part of Gujarat too.i forgot to say it.--Collie Kaltenbrunner (talk) 16:19, March 9, 2013 (UTC)


 * WHAT!!! Since when? [[Image:1.png|23px]] Imp (Say Hi?!) 16:26, March 9, 2013 (UTC)


 * Cause this map and the version by Scan both say otherwise. :P [[Image:1.png|23px]] Imp (Say Hi?!) 16:47, March 9, 2013 (UTC)
 * Ah, i was checking the map of Wikipedia, not this one.--Collie Kaltenbrunner (talk) 20:15, March 9, 2013 (UTC)


 * No problem, mate. :D [[Image:1.png|23px]] Imp (Say Hi?!) 20:21, March 9, 2013 (UTC)


 * Right, i finally counted off.You are Orissa.Apparently you conquwred Bijapur.Orissa and Bijapur together have 8496 pixels.(Orissa - 6356/Bijapur - 2140).Your vassal's quantity is unlimited, provided the sum of all of their pixels doesn't surpass your main nations's pixels.In this case, 4248.So, your vassal's pixels are:


 * Godavari - 2005
 * Bundela - 1611
 * Bihar - 2522


 * Summing it all gives: 6138.This exceed your quantity by 1890 px, so you would have to dispose of Golconda or Bihar and not vassalize other nations.--Collie Kaltenbrunner (talk) 07:51, March 10, 2013 (UTC)


 * Well, I have Khandesh in Orissa now too, and Bihar is in a personal union with Orissa, strictly speaking, and not exactly a vassal or puppet. When the current (new) Rani and Raja die, the countries will enter a dynastic union. Would you be able to revise the numbers please? :D [[Image:1.png|23px]] Imp (Say Hi?!) 10:03, March 10, 2013 (UTC)
 * One thing, dynastic union is different of a personal union. what is going to happen is a personal union.a dynastic union wouldn't do much.a example of a dynastic union was Burgundy and France on the Middle ages.however, this also has two sides, as in Spain and Austria in the 17th century.And anyway, the quantity doesn't not allow you to have Khandesh as a vassal.But talking about Negara Daha, i think that they are too far from you to be your vassals.vassals from Mataram is acceptable, but Negara Daha is about the same size than Mataram.--Collie Kaltenbrunner (talk) 12:54, March 10, 2013 (UTC)


 * I thought a dynastic union happened after the rules in a personal union died and their son/daughter came to power - thus entering a dynastic union. Like the Rani of Orissa and Raja of Bihar are married, and when they die their son will come to the throne of both nations = dynastic union, right? Ok, no problem about Negara Daha - I will not vassalise them yet. It will be okay to have great trading relations with them, however, right? And about Khandesh, I moved in directly in 1632, imprisoning their Raja andgiving its people food and incoporating the country directly into Orissa - no vassalising. I just took advantage of the famine as they would not be able to fight back and are now part of Orissa proper. Is that fine? Sorry about all the question, but I have just one more. Where do you get the pixel count thing? Much appreciated if you could tell me. Thanks. :D [[Image:1.png|23px]] Imp (Say Hi?!) 14:30, March 10, 2013 (UTC)
 * ImageJ and ColorCounter.both have to be used together to do this.--Collie Kaltenbrunner (talk) 19:42, March 10, 2013 (UTC)


 * And not exactly. your royal marriage is basically a personal union, but dynastic union would be if after their deaths, you divided the kingdoms of the rulers among their sons.that's what i'm doing on Iberia.that is a dynastic union, that will last for as long as the Lara rule there (in my case) if both kingdoms go to only one son, then is just the continuation of a personal union.--Collie Kaltenbrunner (talk) 20:28, March 10, 2013 (UTC)


 * I'm guessing the "Khandesh maneuvere" was legit then? [[Image:1.png|23px]] Imp (Say Hi?!) 20:40, March 10, 2013 (UTC)
 * I don't know, because there is no precedent.--Collie Kaltenbrunner (talk) 08:54, March 11, 2013 (UTC)

Collie, when are you finally going to stop being so ignorant? This is really starting to piss me off. I tried to be nice about it before, but this is going off the deep end. Five people (Kogasa, Courageous, Lx, AP, and I) have all had problems with you and your "mapmaking" and they weren't even different issues. You continuously repeat the same "mistakes" and I don't believe I stand alone in being annnoyed at having to fix the same things over and over again, every five days, especially when I have a life to attend to. I will lay issues out carefully one  last time. Sound good? I will fix the map this time and pray that I never have to do it again.
 * 1) Nye Norge expands south, not into Michigan. Neu Berlin is doing that.
 * 2) Bone became a German colony quite long ago, and has been expanding since then.
 * 3) Neu Mecklenburg, the area taken from Bonoman, expands, in case you though I keep colonies without expanding them.
 * 4) Neu Prussen (Hispaniola colony) has expanded on CUBA since the 1600s decade.
 * 5) Neu Berlin expands  along  the lakes, not inland.

Sincerely,

Sir Scrawdad

22:46, March 8, 2013 (UTC) --Collie Kaltenbrunner (talk) 06:58, March 9, 2013 (UTC)
 * 1) I never expanded Nye Norge into Michigan in this 5-year interval.
 * 2) You can't turn a indepedent and unified nation into a colony.So, your colony on Boni can't exist.
 * 3) Kogasa's problems are stemming off the fact that i don't know how to expand his nation there.he doesn't post any value for it.
 * 1) Kogasa's problems are stemming off the fact that i don't know how to expand his nation there.he doesn't post any value for it.

What I did to Mysore I did to Bone, Bone is now a colony, Mysore is under the German Asia Trade Company. The other mods said this was legal. Why do you always let people waste tons of pixels and years expanding colonies, only to tell them after massive swaths of stuff have been wasted that these colonies are not allowed? You could've said something when I first set up the colony. I'm starting to debate your position as mapmaker. 20:13, March 9, 2013 (UTC)
 * I warned you on this section.if i didn't warned you in the first time, i don't know why.i think i must have done it.still somebody else should know.Ah, and seeing your map, one thing: Bone is in Sulawesi, not Borneo.--Collie Kaltenbrunner (talk) 07:12, March 10, 2013 (UTC)
 * When I expand in Kamchatka, I'm going for whatever the maximum expansion is allowed there per year. Also I thought that I didn't had to post any values when I expand my main nation and that values were only posted for colonies expansion. Anyway, how much can I expand into Kamchatka per year then? -Kogasa [[Image:Miko THPW2.png|50px]] [[Image:Flag of Japan.svg|23px|border]] 2013年3月09日 19:24:33 (JST)
 * I don't know, but it would be a little more difficult to expand there.The maximum on expansion is 15000 sq km, but having the previous point in mind, i might say less than 5000 per turn.--Collie Kaltenbrunner (talk) 12:50, March 9, 2013 (UTC)


 * 15000?!! Wow, I thought it was only 10000, but it makes sense that you can expand that much into civil dissarray. :D [[Image:1.png|23px]] Imp (Say Hi?!) 13:57, March 9, 2013 (UTC)


 * i don't even know the limit.but last game, people expanded 15000 on maximum, so it might be it.but i think that it's not advisable to get to this limit until the 18, 19th centuries.--Collie Kaltenbrunner (talk) 16:19, March 9, 2013 (UTC)


 * Well, I was told that a nation expanding into black was given max of 10,000km. A nation expanding into another nation was max 5,000km and a nation expanding into civil-disarray was 15,000km max. I think this should be made official. [[Image:1.png|23px]] Imp (Say Hi?!) 16:39, March 9, 2013 (UTC)

there also the Burgundian-Dutch mistakes ( why did the cuban and Hispaniolan and African colonies of Milan were erased if they were bought by burgundy)  Sine dei gloriem (talk) 01:11, March 9, 2013 (UTC)
 * Becuase i didn't see that you had bought them, and i wiped them out because Genoa was annexed by Venice/Papal States, and the colonies wouldn't exist with no main nation.--Collie Kaltenbrunner (talk) 16:24, March 9, 2013 (UTC)

Also, he keeps removing European colonies in India.AP (talk) 02:36, March 9, 2013 (UTC)
 * Which European colonies?--Collie Kaltenbrunner (talk) 06:58, March 9, 2013 (UTC)


 * AP, they are puppets - and puppets are different from colonies mate. :P [[Image:1.png|23px]] Imp (Say Hi?!) 15:09, March 9, 2013 (UTC)
 * Again, the rules say that you can't diplomatically vassalize a nation that is not contiguous to yours.so if i won't add Mysore to the map, i also won't add Bengal.and if they both are puppets, last game we took 1 point on the algoyrthm for every puppet that a nation had.And, i don't know why you are adding more land to Eriksmark (in your correction map, it appears bigger than in the original), when i am expanding it exactly like you say that it is. --Collie Kaltenbrunner (talk) 16:19, March 9, 2013 (UTC)

That too. My land taken from Travancore is missing. So much to fix.

02:46, March 9, 2013 (UTC)
 * There is land taken from Travancore, like those islands off the coast, obut i don't know how much pixels Travancore has to do it right.--Collie Kaltenbrunner (talk) 06:58, March 9, 2013 (UTC)
 * Well, i finally got the quantity of px.1269.--Collie Kaltenbrunner (talk) 07:51, March 10, 2013 (UTC)
 * Are you guys trying to piss me off by getting russia wrong  EVERY SINGLE MAP and reverting my changes compeltely by ignoring them and not using the latest edited map where we, the users, post our changes, and instead use your map you posted and then tried to repicate those changes you liked and mostly ignored russia. and replacing them with your half-assed jobs, especialy when it comes to colonies...or you go throgh the trouble to revert the Russian states  EVERY SINGLE MAP . From now on I will ask you not to touch russia at all, because I no longer trust anybody but me to get my nation right. The next map i will post regarding russia will be 1640 because I already added sibir gains on the special corrections layer that I made on the photoshop document.-Lx''' (leave me a message) 20:01, March 9, 2013 (UTC)
 * I am going to give you one of the two reasons why Russian,in the mainland, is not as big as in your map.remember that war that you tried to wage against three or four states at once?it is on archive 5.Although i don't remember well what happened in the meantime of the discussion, i'm almost sure that you tried to change your government in the middle of the war.Then i said that if you changed your govenment by a popular revolt in the middle of the war, you wouldn't receive the x 1.5 bonus, but you never answered.so, after i had forgotten about that, i remembered about that, and put your gains based on the original result (57 x 36), which would give you about one quarter of the area.--Collie Kaltenbrunner (talk) 13:00, March 10, 2013 (UTC)
 * I faught against nations that did not and should not exist due to lack of capital or anything. any city that he mentioned states went around were either foudned by peter the great or gained prominence during peter the great. in the early 1700s, or are tribes of nomads. Either way, I already annexed them, and, in VonGlusenburg's words, its too late to do anyting about it. IF you think that that is bad argument, then by all means, make those states, and many more, not exist and part of mine of Sibir. If not, then please, stop reverting my changes, and stop touching russia's colonies, you do more harm than good with them.-Lx (leave me a message) 18:22, March 10, 2013 (UTC)

As long as you do something to stop the Muslim rebels then you get it back. But Crimea has rebelled away, it is no longer your vassal.

Thanks Von. Now to harrass people to update the territories page... Scandinator (talk) 00:16, February 5, 2013 (UTC)

I can name a series of problems with that map's names. fist off, let me thank you for trying. Second, I killed kazan in a war, third, none of my wars make sense if this is true(aka, all algorithms are wrong, and I should have one more easily), fourth, odonsk was founded in 1595, almost 20 years after the supposed balkanization of russia, fifth, syktyvar was founded in 1723 by Peter the Great, and there were settlements in that region near 1680, sixth, the modern capital of nenetisia was founded around 1930. in that region, the only people that would realy live in the 16th century, except perhaps 5000-6000 Novgorodian soldiers around a military outpost, would be the nomadic samoyeds, who would likely have the same relative independance as the first nations did in the americas at this time and around the mid-1600s despite foreign claim on the territory. The Nenets only number in the 40 000 today, after acute population booms, so I woyld place tehm at 5000 people. I do, however, doubt that there would be cossacks with permanant settlemetn around kuban prior to 1696(modern kuban cossacks founded). seventh, Samara was a military outpost built in 1586 by russia for the sole purpose of protecting against nomads, eighth, I doubt that the tatars would be seperate from Kazan, since it was the last true tatar city to exist, and the largest tatar city to exist today, and would have likely been the center of tatar culture if this were to happen, ninth, I believe that the city of kazan would be cituated in the confines of state "syktyvar" or "samara", and the "kazan khanate" would not even have kazan. tenth, the city of syktyvar is the capital of the komi republic, and would be in its confines, according to the map, the problems with that are already stated...sould I continue-Lx (leave me a message) 03:15, February 5, 2013 (UTC)

It says so in the rules... Imp (Say Hi?!) 08:58, February 6, 2013 (UTC)

idustry? If you mean economic development & military development, remember that you player nations get 2 points for each year of development and NPCs only get 1 point for development each year. Hence 1 is half of 2. The NPC built up its development for 5 years for each development type, meaning it got 10 points for military, economic & infrastructure development each. This 10 is then halved to give you 5. <font color="#000000">VonGlusenburg (talk to Von!) 14:35, February 6, 2013 (UTC)

Oh come on. Bengal has become a backwater, how can they be waging a successful war against Orissa? I spent ages and ages on all three. Could I change it, cause I have been spending turns on economic and industrial growth? Imp (Say Hi?!) 19:44, February 10, 2013 (UTC)

I wouldn't say it has become a backwater, no mod events have established it as one. But seeing how it used to have a large empire then it lost it all, it still has that capacity for empire so is still strong. Besides those are the rules and we can't just change them and only follow them where it does us a favour.

I'll allow you to compromise and the war can be a draw and things remain the same. <font color="#000000">VonGlusenburg (talk to Von!) 12:40, February 11, 2013 (UTC)

Yes, but if you go into something that it's ten miles normal and then from then on desert you're not going to colonise it. Fed (talk) 17:09, February 10, 2013 (UTC)

Honestly colonizing Australia at the time now is not worth it for any European or Asian country. One, it is too far away at maintainance costs to protect and expand the colony would be a lot higher than in the Americas and Africa. Two, there are very few resources and growing areas. Colonies will need to import food if they start on the West, North or South Coast. Only the South East can host a self sustaining colony and that is after it expands inland far enough. In the meantime they would still need food imports. Scandinator (talk) 10:49, February 12, 2013 (UTC)

Scan put it very neatly. Australian colonies can not become self-sustaining until after decades of life support from the mother country. Australian colonisation does not work the same way as American colonisation. In America, you just drop off the colonists and they can build a self-sustaining colony in minutes. And if they do need assistance, it takes like a month max to send a ship from Europe to America. It took a year to go from Europe to Australia in 1788. It would have taken a ridiculous amount of time to get there in 1610. And again, I reiterate the main point, Why Bother when there are sooo many more profitable and closer places to colonise? I am Saxony, so I don't have vested interests in colonies, I merely put this out there because it is completely implausible. The Dutch didn't colonise otl, and they were the colonial masters of the time. Why would anyone else do it TTL? Callumthered (talk) 11:03, February 12, 2013 (UTC)

Thanks for putting my points more clearly. As an extra example. The Dutch were VERY active in our area but they decided to colonize Indonesia instead as the Indonesian archipelago is so much more profitable and much easier to control trade with than Australia. Also Australia's most valuable commodities have no uses in the 17th century expect for coal and iron. But why bother with a year long journey to transport it back when there are sources in Cornwall, Alsace-Lorraine, the Ruhr and Northern Italy.Scandinator (talk) 12:54, February 12, 2013 (UTC)

Austrailia has a lot of desert, yes. But the regions to the southeast are green and fertile, and that's where my colonies are location (around Adeilade and Melbourne). There they were be able to remain self-suffient given the large area of pasture, farmland, and mineral resources, with the addition of fishing waters not far from the sites of the colonies. And generally speaking, whether or not the land is worth colonizing is up to the players and nations. Norway didn't need  a reason to colonize barren Iceland and Greenland, but it did anyway. The same can be said of Russia taking over Siberia, which was barren and had no resources that could be accessed for quiet some time. The purpose of colonization isn't about what land is better or even if its worth colonizing. Its about prestige, who has more of what, and bragging rights. The British colonized Austrailia not for the resource they didn't know about until later, but simply to get rid of the "undesirables" of the home islands. In the end, a nation can make up a reason to do anything, or in most cases, doesn't need a reason at all. If they want it, they can take it regardless of whether it makes sense or not. That's just human nature. We're selfish. Vivaporius: "I don't need a slogan" 02:21, March 6, 2013 (UTC)

You can edit your own algorithms, not anybody else's. You're not a mod, so quit acting like one. And yes, they can since they are a legitimate nation that is under protectorate status. Besides, you used Vinland on several algorithms.108.214.113.122 03:49, February 11, 2013 (UTC)

Apparently the rules dictate it. I don't think you can switch the nation attacked, just to be fair to the people that have wanted to switch the nation when they were losing. Who were you planning on switching it to anyway?AP (talk) 04:10, February 11, 2013 (UTC)

Luxembourg joins this war, and Austria provides military aid now. Supplies from Navarre.

Portugal can get 16,6% of Gujarat.

Depending if the war lasts 4 or 5 years, Portugal can get 14,52 or 14,94% of Gujarat.Since Gujarat has 3756 pixels, Portugal thus can get either 545 or 561 pixels.

So, since it would be near impossible to find population statistics for Gujarat on the 17th century, i started to research Indian historical demographics, and comparing Gujarat with the whole of India, i came to the conclusion that Gujarat's population in 1610 would be roughly 4 million people.--Collie Kaltenbrunner (talk) 09:56, February 13, 2013 (UTC)

A religious movement
Could I have a new religious movement begin in Orissa? It will be basically based around a simplified version of hinduism. So out of so many gods, we will only have the main three and the god of luck (the elephant god), along with the god of money and good fortune (Laxmi, the elephant god's wife and the reason for Diwali). Would that be fine as we already have a Kreppanlits (or however you say it) movement in Europe? :D  Imp (Say Hi?!) 12:42, February 13, 2013 (UTC)

Resignation
While I really hate to do this, but this semester's already too hectic for me to handle, and I doubt I'll be able to play a lot for the next few months. As such, I think it's time for me to retire from the game.

I assume that decades (or centuries if they're lucky) from now, the Papal States are likely to be taken over or reformed in some aspect. All I ask for the sake of the citizens is that they get to retain some of their rights and land (i.e. not being totally assimilated), and that the Papacy continues in some form, LOL.

It's been fun, and I'll pop in from time to time to see how the game's going. I hope to be able to play PMIII, whenever that starts :D. Regards, ChrisL123 (talk) 23:06, February 13, 2013 (UTC)

Although I don't plan on leaving the game anytime soon. Hope to see you again later!

Brandenburg's colonial empire is vastly larger than the Manchu one. Also, the Indian nations should not be anywhere on this list, and the upper class is pretty big in Venice.

@Andrew Bavaria is on the list now. General Education is teaching everyone to read and write (including the peasants). Also its only stable constitutional monarchies that can make 10 and I'm not sure if you are a constitutional monarchy...

Yes Bavaria has a constitutional monarchy, the queen heads up the reichstag which is the Bavarian parliament.

@Scraw The Indian nations have fulfilled those requirements that they have been listed under. Brandenburg is up there for colonial empire (dunno how I missed it). The "middle class" in the 17th to late 19th century refered to the class of urban-dwellers between the nobility and the peasants. Venice has thousands of traders and merchants in their cities with over 30% of the population in towns and cities compared to ~20% in the German States and less than that everywhere else. The last time Brandenburg's heartlands were attacked and damaged was by the Madhi 50 years ago. Scandinator (talk) 09:17, February 18, 2013 (UTC)

Russia and Scandinavian merchants have formed NETA, the North European Trade Alliance, succesor to RETA(Russo-European Trade Alliance), witch is succesor to the Hanza. NETA maintains strong control over the baltic and black sea markets. Russia has had many scientific advances(although most of them were military and naval in nature to ensure novgorodian market can reach further)...ex. the flintlock, the icebreaker, the rifle, soon the submarine, and universities(the Academy of sciences included) have autonomy from the state or the church if that counts for anything, Russia also pioneered medicine developing a crude smallpox immunization process for the mayans and pioneering human anatomical study..-Lx (leave me a message) 16:47, February 18, 2013 (UTC)

There are several nations that don't have points where they deserve them. Scandinavia and Germany have very large navies and do in fact have the ability to transport the resource, i'm actually not sure about Venice since their navy was annihilated by the Caliphate according to Von. Scandinavia has several scientific universities in the colonies as well as back home. Scandinavia is a constitutional monarchy under the Riksdag and the Queen, Burgundy is one as well. Scandinavia owns the richest farmland in the Eastern seaboard, the Chesapeake and therefore we would be able to mass-produce cotton. Also, the Rajputs and Cyprus were invaded by the Caliphate and Manchuria recently had to deal with a Korean war for independence.''' I would like to further reiterate that any "coincidental changes" in your nation will be ignored as an excuse to get points on this chart. Also to prevent confusion and other crap, only mods may modify this chart'''. AP (talk) 18:38, February 18, 2013 (UTC)


 * The part about the navy does not realy give you a market, however, your participation as one of the elite members of NETA does...you have a market and he hability to market a resource because of the near control of the Baltic sea market and beond with NETA(witch is one of the things i wanted to say).-Lx (leave me a message) 19:35, February 18, 2013 (UTC)

In agreement to everything you said, I must point out one minor error. Sine has some sort of notion that he can always post to the turn four hours after the new turn starts. In the days of Lurk, this would not have gone unnoticed and would have resulted in a ban ages ago. This also means that the conversion to constitutional monarchy does not count.

One last thing: did Britain really have any form of general education whatsoever?

@Europe: Venice will break the Pope's control over science in a few decades with the heir who is a lot less devout that his father. However it will result in internal chaos and the establishment of the Church of Italy and the Pope fleeing to Venaissin or Trier.

@Lx: Outline how you can mass produce rifles without the production line in factories. Rifles are too complex to make the list for any nation bar venice which has the arsenals with their primitive production lines. But this is also a closely guarded secret so you cant just get an arsenal...

@ Everyone: Points 6-9 are linked. To qualify for 8 you need both 6 and 7 and to get 9 you need 8. Britain also had very basic general education for the peasants to allow them to read and write during the early 18th century and the Turks had general education in a few cities in the 12th century.

That was part of my question, does the no wars in 50 years thing count as wars being faught in your homeland(i.e. you being invaded and loosing), or does it count for wars you were fighting and you invade another nation. Either way makes sense, because if there was a war within your borders, the land would be ravaged and rebuilding etc... and i can see the other side too, you used resources for war instead of developing and/or lost lived therefore manpower, although, I would think beign invadede would leave a worse impact.

When did Scandinavia get a pro-business legal system and the division between higher and middle classes? Scandinavia is practically flowing with nobility at this point in time. Also, does coal count as a resource you can use? Because it really will be crucial to the industrial revolution.

Oh, and the Caliph would basicly be like the OTL Shadow Caliph, mainly only for ceremonial, some political(Jihads), and religious matters.

There is the Arabian Caliphate already. Scandinator (talk) 13:45, February 17, 2013 (UTC)

The Abu'ids (those who opposed the Mahdi before he was all Mahdi-y) took o er the Hijaz region during the collapse of the Mahdihate and claim to be the Caliph. Fed (talk) 17:32, February 17, 2013 (UTC)

If I've messed anything up, please say so now. If not, I wish to vassalize this annoying nation. Took me close to a century and a half, but I finally did it. Adal is mine. Vivaporius: "I don't need a slogan" 21:22, February 17, 2013 (UTC)

So, I fixed a few things. You can expand your military and your economy, but you can only include one in the algorithm. After that, you divide the strength of the aggressor by the defender. Apart from the population, which Collie will have to look up for me, the rest is fine.108.214.113.122 21:47, February 17, 2013 (UTC)

That was me btw.AP (talk) 21:48, February 17, 2013 (UTC)

Awesome. Thanks AP. Also, I expanded the military, economy, and infastructure at the same time after the invasion of Travancore (I believe more than 15 years ago). Vivaporius: "I don't need a slogan" 22:41, February 17, 2013 (UTC)

Man, how can u only get 1.8%? Imp (Say Hi?!) 18:11, February 18, 2013 (UTC)

I look at it an shake my head. I upgraded my military, economy, and infastructure 15+ years straight. By only my military is shown to have been upgraded. Should be close to 30%. Vivaporius: "I don't need a slogan" 19:19, February 18, 2013 (UTC)

And I agree. Seriously, what was the rationale behind providing bonuses to NPCs? Historically, most of the NPC nations were stagnent in all three areas, and Adal was a weak kingdom that had been destroyed by the Portuguese-backed Ethiopians. I mean seriously, when 400 Europeans help wipe out a force of 14,000 warriors, you've got a problem. By the way, Adal collapsed as a nation 1577. Vivaporius: "I don't need a slogan" 20:28, February 18, 2013 (UTC)
 * In order to not make them too easy to defeat. We were having this kind of problem before hand.without a NPC bonus, one could, say, invade France while it was inactive and topple their government, theorically.Anyway, the number difference falls more into having more advanced technology.--Collie Kaltenbrunner (talk) 22:01, February 18, 2013 (UTC)


 * Well there should be two forms of NPC bonuses. One, a strong NPC nation gets them, while some backward African/Indian nation doesn't. [[Image:1.png|23px]] Imp (Say Hi?!) 15:56, February 19, 2013 (UTC)

Okay, I put the correct number in (61), and got 35.4%. May I annex Adal now? Also, which is more beneficial; vassalization or annexation? Vivaporius: "I don't need a slogan" 15:34, February 19, 2013 (UTC)

How are you calculating this? you only would get 35% if you got 100 points or so.--Collie Kaltenbrunner (talk) 15:44, February 19, 2013 (UTC)

Burgundy Gains
So, there seem to be to sides as to what was won in the war. One side says that only several pixels can be taken as gain, because that's how much was won in the algorithm. The other side says that the algorithm was enough to strip Burgundy of it's colonies entirely. Which one is correct? We need to get this settled. CourageousLife (talk) 05:12, February 23, 2013 (UTC)

Ethiopia and You
Now I have to address this matter once and for all, its gonna be long, so Scraw shut up and listen, I'll write for as long as needed. Considering this is the Alternate History wiki, there appears to be little tolerance for alternate decisions in actions made. To put in the words of one user: "Many people claim that if it didn’t happen, it couldn’t happen, or that if it had certain pros and cons they would always stay that way for a person, peoples, or nations entire history, even if certain developments change the entire time frame forever, that no matter what, they are stuck with those problems for eternity, and I personally think that’s a load of, well I wont say that yet, maybe later." And considering that history is ignored for the simplier "Europe is just better" excuse is mind-numbing.

What is the point of doing anything if the mods state that you can't do anything to chance the course of a nation's history. I played Ethiopia with the hope of capitalizing on its many many chances. For one, Ethiopia had early contact with the Europan empires such as Portugal, and was aided in developing its technological base. Unlike many other African kingdoms, Ethiopia was for its time, a modern and well-organized nation, and had actual soldiers instead of poorly armed and motivated warriors. Its had cannon, guns, heavy cavalry, and European recognition of its rule in East Africa (evidenced by Portuguese letters between the King of Portugal and Emperor of Ethiopia). Its religious belief in Christ did much too gain European favor which aided it in surviving many invasions.

Japan and Cyprus don't have to do anything special to expand overseas when in actual historical accounts the Japanese hated outside interaction, and Cyprus was the rump-state of the Turks and Byzantines. The last bit of glory Cyprus had was when it sack Cairo during the Crusades, by it was immediately steam-rolled in prompt retailation that destroyed much of everything it had. The Japanese were good sailors, but never had the European-style ships that allowed for long-range travel. So what's my point? Like Cyprus, Ethiopia's navy was obliterated. But like Cyprus, Ethiopia rebuilt it. And like Japan, Ethiopia never had long-range vessels, but like Japan aquired them through hard-work and research. Just because Japan and Cyprus are better documented than Ethiopia doesn't mean that they were any better.

Now this statement goes for all nations like Ethiopia. They don't have the starting techs or experience to expand overseas, but like any human civilization anywhere on the globe in recorded history, they can develop this information themselves. It's almost ignorant and insulting for the kind of statements made by people on a history wiki, especially an alternate history one, to say that a certain nation can't do something simply because they never did it in real life. That's why we have alternate history. To do what real life nations refused to do or just couldn't do because of problems they suffered. Could Hitler have taken over the world? Yes. Many governments and veterans admit to that fact. Did he? No. Too many nations fought against him and he lost too many crucial battles. But what "if" he won Stalingrad? El Alimen? The Battle of the Bulge?

Now what "if" Ethiopia pursued a naval course instead of a land one? It had colonies before. It was right across the Red Sea like Korea was right across the Yellow Sea for Japan. heck, quoting Wikipedia, "Axum was a naval and trading power that ruled the region from about 400 BC into the 10th century." Even Mani, a Sassanid prophet, he stated that Ethiopia (not Japan), was one of the four world powers during the 3rd century along with Rome, Persia, and China (once again not Japan). Also, Ethiopia was a major trading power. Thus, saying Ethiopia "never" was a naval nation is an ignorant statement to make without having proof to back that up. I don't like having to type this even time someone smudges history. Just do the research (I did), and understand that since this is alternate history, that some things can be allowed. I mean for Christ's sake, we've got a whole gain of nations that never had navies going around building empires.

So you understand my point, I'll compare Ethiopia to a better known empire - France. France was just like Ethiopia. Sucked at seafaring, and rocked on land. Unlike Ethiopia, it was never the major naval trading power during the time of Rome, nor the famed superpower stated by ancient historians. However, it developed its navy many times, and saw its destroyed countless times. However, did that mean that since its ships were destroyed that it technology disappeared? Nope. When it was freed of English rule, France built an even better navy, and expanded overseas. Does this mean they were pushing it simply because they never had a long history of seamanship? No. It simply means that they saw an opprotunity overseas, and worked to get it, just like Ethiopia. I spent a century and a half working on naval technology, but to say that I'm "pushing it" because I'm using said technology is erking.

Vivaporius: "I don't need a slogan" 19:15, February 26, 2013 (UTC)

I'll have to agree with Viva. Playing as the Mayan Empire is challenging because I'm not allowed to do anything because I'm a native nation. I have had European-level tech for some time now, and have the capacity to handle European ideas on infastructure and education. Recently, I wasn't allowed to enact an education system because 'No one in Europe or Asia had one'. This is rediculous. If I can't have my own ideas and actions not limited by my native heritage, then why play? To let the European players have more fun when they subjugate my nation? I am advanced enough to do certain things that keep getting shot down. I see opportunities, and I go for them, but I have to wait in line because I'm not from the Old World. CourageousLife (talk) 21:35, February 26, 2013 (UTC)

This is to do with plausibility. Why would anybody from your nation want to be educatued? You will first need to change your countries attitides. The mods say there is nothing wrong with schools, but first they need to be implemented in the higher classes and then the general masses.

Viva, let me tell you something. When I started as Bharat in 1830 something in PM, I was a rump state - had no power, no alliances and looked like no future. Yet I changed that. In 150, I took my country to becoming a world superpower. Do not worry, take your time. There is no need to rush into things. Get your alliances straight and keep expanding (you still haven't accepted my alliance).

So folks. Play well, and reap the rewards. :D  Imp (Say Hi?!) 22:31, February 26, 2013 (UTC)

Imp, I must agree with you. But I fear this is a recurring theme across all of the wiki. Even in plausible situtations, the mods still shoot down ideas they themselves use them in ways that make no sense or couldn't happen, such as Scraw having Sweden force the USSR to become a puppet state, and becoming a superpower when many larger nations had the same tech but no potential. This isn't limited to just a few games, and I feel that this has to be resolved on the wiki on general. Vivaporius: "I don't need a slogan" 23:58, February 26, 2013 (UTC)

I guess that I'll explicitly state that it's for upper level children in the future, though I thought it was implied. Would you mind unstriking my 1624 post? CourageousLife (talk) 00:05, February 27, 2013 (UTC)

For starters, your argument is built on a logical fallacy. To avoid fallacious thinking i'm going to explain. You cannot possibly use OTL history to justify what you are doing in this timeline. If all your posts say "Ethiopia does X,Y, and Z" then all you've done that year is X,Y, and Z. You have to write things in, give your history flavor and a realistic feel to it. It's not a matter of what could have happened it's "what circumstances led to this." Ethiopia was a land-based empire not because it wanted to, but because it had no other choice than to be one. The point is to plausibly expand to create an interesting alternate history, not a radical step in the other direction. Therefore Australian colonization is a stretch. Even worse is attempting to colonize a crowded south America, which by the way was retconned because you established two colonies within a 50 year period already. I'm tired of repeating the same thing, so i'm going to go because i have real issues to attend to.AP (talk) 03:26, February 27, 2013 (UTC)

AP has made a point. Have you seen my posts? They have an almost in-depth analysis of what is going on. You will need to write more about what is happening in your country. However, that does mean that you will be able to plausibly do thing you want to, becuase you have explained why through your post. So my Raja wants to invade Bijapur again, I stated "the raja was dissapointed and plans another invasion of the country".

And Viva, just trade with me tons. I'll help to bring scientists and ideas to your country in return for coffee and stuff and we ca make like an alliance and stuff :P  Imp (Say Hi?!) 07:54, February 27, 2013 (UTC)

I was sure I did that. I explained the Ethiopians felt they had a better future oveseas than in Africa (pre-Caliphate), and that the Emperor declare many things related to such developments in the nation such as modernization. I'd also be happy to trade with you for technology Imp. At least that be the most historically correct action (since Ethiopia and India traded in real life :P). Vivaporius: "I don't need a slogan" 18:44, February 27, 2013 (UTC)

Church of the Epic People of Wayupthereland
@Everyone: So, this is for me and AP only.

@AP: I was thinking we could have three patriarchs, one German, one Scandinavian, and one other. And each resides in their respective territory. Or in Pomerania, which is ethnically German but otherwise Scandinavian.

Also, I think we should keep the Germanic Church but the call each of the Patriarchs something different.

Thoughts?

I think 3 patriarchs would be confusing and would lead to problems in interpreting doctrine later on. We should have one Patriarch of the Germanic Church, my suggestion on his residence would be in Lubeck or somewhere like that.AP (talk) 05:06, February 27, 2013 (UTC)

Sounds good to me. What about the name?

05:16, February 27, 2013 (UTC)

Patriarch of Lübeck or Patriarch of the Goths would be good.AP (talk) 06:22, February 27, 2013 (UTC)

OK then, we have the Germanic Church and the Patriarch of the Goths who lives in Lubeck. Sound good?

Btw, when do you plan on joining?

That leaves me with next to no land, however. I'm willing to sell you land to move my colony up next to Venice's or down next to the Mayan Empire so we can partition the land equally, but that gives you a lot more land than I get. Airlinesguy (talk) 22:26, March 1, 2013 (UTC)

The main point of that map was to establish natural borders(i.e. missisipi and the rio grande). everything ele is still in flux..but the best course of action I think is to move cyprus to the rio...save New Minsk cause that russian big city...-Lx (leave me a message) 23:55, March 2, 2013 (UTC)

OK, well I'm not that good at mapmaking, so do you want me to move my colony next to Scan's colony gradually? I can hopefully do that. Then we can partition the land I get right now between you and me. Airlinesguy (talk) 09:03, March 3, 2013 (UTC)

Chinese Dynastic Change
Well, boys and girls, it's almost 1630 and you know what that means... probably. The Ming Dynasty only has a decade and a half left in OTL. The Quing Dynasty takes over and life in China goes on. However, the Quing Dynasty was born of Manchuria, which is not part of China in this game. I've been thinking of how to handle this for some time and I came up with a relatively good idea.

As you probably know, China is in the middle of a golden age. Quite literally in many cases. New methods of spice production, silk production, and shipbuilding, coupled with a very strong and wise emperor has made China a very rich nation. However, all rulers, good or bad, will stop ruling a nation at some point. My plan is that China will be spoiled rotten from this guy. The emperors that come after him will be idiots. People will get fed up and miss the 'good old days' and start an uprising called the 'Guìzú Conspiracy'. After that, China will be ruled by the powerful families that gained their wealth during the Eastern Renaissance. For a little while, China will be an aristocracy. The lower class is going to grow while the upper class gets more and more money (seem familiar?) Well, the lower class is eventually going to say, "what the hell, guys?" and grow more and more discontent before throwing a revolt that will put another dynasty in charge and a stronger emperor on the throne.

The reason I say this is because I saw a mod event detailing a revolt in China and I assumed they were trying to start the end of the Ming dynasty. Decided to announce that I've got it covered and don't worry about it. CrimsonAssassin (talk) 23:18, March 2, 2013 (UTC)

Did nobody notice that somebody taking the whole North island in 3 years, and plus, in the 1600's is highly implausible?--Collie Kaltenbrunner (talk) 21:15, March 5, 2013 (UTC)

Hahahaa. I know, but I won fairly. I have an idea. Would it be fine for me just to get the coastal area along with the area of my former colony? Now having coastal areas in your control in the 1600s was plausible, cause the Dutch did it, the Portugese did it and so did the Brits. Imp (Say Hi?!) 21:29, March 5, 2013 (UTC)

This is implausible. The British had a hard time with them and your telling me an Indian nation is gonna just walk all over them? Please. And several things were wrong on the algorithm.AP (talk) 00:13, March 6, 2013 (UTC)

The British were outnumbered and didn't know much about the fighting styles of the Maori for quiet a while (5,000 Europeans verus 58,000 rifle-armed Maori is a one-sided fight). By the 1880s, the British could walk over the Maori at their leisure (700,000 Europeans verus 20,000 starving Maori is a one-sided fight). Plus, the British didn't have the political will to wipe out the Maori, given that the British were trying to champion themselves as the "Bringer of Civilization", not the "Destroyer of Worlds". Finally, the rules say he can take over the island, so that's what Imp did. I mean, your to busy trying to copy history rather than like it take its own path. The British didn't defeat the Maori, but that happened in real life. This is alternate history. Orissa managed to bet the Maori because this isn't real life. Just because it didn't happen in real life doesn't mean it can't happen here. You have to stop trying to drag OTL into everything, and trying to force ATL to abide by it. Besides, the British had a lower interest in New Zealand compared to the much larger and wealthy colonies of India, Canada, and Africa. Orissa is closer to New Zealand and can thus devote more resources toward its conquest. Vivaporius: "I don't need a slogan" 02:32, March 6, 2013 (UTC)

Hey, its not like he colonized all of France, China, and Brandenburg in one turn. He conquered the Maori of the north island.

Gee Lord! ஆஸ், I wear your Grandads clothes (lk) 11:11, March 6, 2013 (UTC)

The Brits were overstretched. Hell, I have trained armies, and a few thousand cannot hold off the Orissans, who can match their whole population with our army! Plus the Maori are not a nation, they will not get industrialisation and military points. Imp (Say Hi?!) 12:50, March 6, 2013 (UTC)

Thank you. This is what I was talking about. The British had to pick and chose which colony they wanted to devote more resources too giventhat none of the native populations were all too happy that the Brits were taking over. Thus, colonies such as South Africa and India got more troops to deal with native populations given their relative worth producing diamonds, copper, wool, and gold, while New Zealand got fewer given that it had tiny amounts of nature resources and a tiny European population on the other side of the globe in a relatively isolated position. Only when New Zealand's population and worth increased did the British devote more resources to it. Orissa already has a strong presense in the area, and unlike the British, has the luxury of devoting more resources to one of only four or five colonies in the same area, unlike Britian's twenty or thirty far-flung, over-stretched, and densely-populated dominions across the globe. Vivaporius: "I don't need a slogan" 14:49, March 6, 2013 (UTC)

I think that declaring war in tribes is senseless. if you already can expand naturally on them, this is useless, and declaring war will be eventually a implausibilty if you win too much land.but i'm not talking about you personally.what i'm talking about is that all of this could be avoided without that event about the Maoris destroying your colony.--Collie Kaltenbrunner (talk) 17:01, March 6, 2013 (UTC)

I see parts of the coast being acquired, but Orissan expansion is going way to fast. Orissan Netherlands and now a Maori that the British coult barely hold in their heyday? In the ''seventeenth century? Without advanced transport? By an Indian nation that does not have enough soldiers?'' 22:15, March 6, 2013 (UTC)

Point to be noted - I focus exessively in the region, and I can land more troops than their whole population. I only want the island's coasts, not even the whole thing. And blame the mod event, it forced me to go to war. :P  Imp (Say Hi?!) 22:29, March 6, 2013 (UTC)

I'll say it again. The British in their heyday were overstretched with far more valuable colonies to deal with, and their main area were the soldiers were coming from was all the way in Europe. Orissa is far closer, more populous, and more devoted to the conquest of New Zealand than Britian. Vivaporius: "I don't need a slogan" 23:28, March 6, 2013 (UTC)

Yes, Britain was distracted with Europe and its more valuable colonies.

But it was the Superpower of the time, and could devote far more troops to a small outcrop than Orissa.

Yes, the main area was Europe.

But they had steam ships instead of wooden boats, so not only would they not be lost in Indian Ocean and Pacific Ocean storms but they would be far quicker to arrive in NZ.

Orissa might be closer, more populous and more devoted, but it is weaker and less developed. There's a reason why Patagonia and Oceania remained uncolonised until the 19th Century for the most part. Fed (talk) 23:53, March 6, 2013 (UTC)

I've only just seen this war (I was gone for a week or so) and I'm wondering why we're allowing the colonization of New Zealand when it was discovered in 1642 and only 100 years later did actual trade and ideas of colonizing the islands begin to happen and spread.

Well, I focus in the region, and I am closer by. I also have trained armies who can fight using cannon and rifle, and a navy which can usually make it to the country mostly intact. Imp (Say Hi?!) 09:59, March 10, 2013 (UTC)

4x9 is 36, not 28.Ans we count chance based on the "(main) namespace" edits, you can't add your own developments to the Malaccan side unless you are a leader on this war, and Hainan is not a separate state from Formosa.--Collie Kaltenbrunner (talk) 17:56, March 6, 2013 (UTC)

Venice has a population of around 11-12 million. Malacca is barely scraping 7 digits at this time. Indonesia was much less dense than other parts of Asia. Scandinator (talk) 00:05, March 7, 2013 (UTC)

I know, but if we're going to count the whole coalitions's population, China has 9 on itself, i think.--Collie Kaltenbrunner (talk) 06:39, March 7, 2013 (UTC)

I'm sorry, it's been a while since I've done these algorithms (I think my last one was when I took over a few of the Khanates to be honest). CrimsonAssassin (talk) 12:45, March 7, 2013 (UTC)

The rules for the population part of the algorithm actually says nation, not coalition... Also much Venice's work into naval technology and strengthening trade links was ignored. Venice also does not seek to destroy Malacca, merely take the straits. Scandinator (talk) 13:53, March 7, 2013 (UTC)

I don't think that you, without your other allies really has a 11 million of population.And, i didn't ignore that work, but you spent 5 years on a war.that takes precedence over the other activites, so they wouldn't be counted.--Collie Kaltenbrunner (talk) 19:51, March 7, 2013 (UTC)

Northern Italy (the area which Venice occupies) had a population of around 11 million in OTL 1600s. Italy in total had around 14 million with 2 million in Naples and 1 on the Sicilies. Piedmont became part of France... With a more stable Italy and no continuous Ottoman & French raids and attacks the population would likely be a bit higher in Northern Italy.

Hello...-Lx (leave me a message) 17:15, March 6, 2013 (UTC)

Well, i don't know if it was either you or another person that i told about that if you update both military and economy in one turn only one of them will be counted in the algorythm, but now i already said.I don't know what basis did you had on not knowing if you was supposed to give them 0 or 7 in population.not even if you thought that the populations should be divided this would be explained.Anyway, theer population would be 6.7 for that area in this period would be overestimating.but i doubt your population reaches 10 million.given your famine of 1601-1603 didn't happen, i would say you have about 7 million.i don't know where this obdorsk is or if it exists.--Collie Kaltenbrunner (talk) 18:01, March 6, 2013 (UTC)

Acording to Von, obdorsk does exist, even though it shouldnt(I never bloody founded the city, and even then, it would have just been a small NOVGORODIAN military outpost of no more than 1000 men). But hey, that complaint fell onto deaf ears so i guess it exists since it is all "too long ago" to change anything. Its that small bubble of NPC to the east of Russia in Russian colour. Russia has had 2 population booms in the past 100 years, so yes, I would have, I believe, at least 10 or 11 millions. but enough with that...I have absolutely no idea on how to do NPC bonus...I thought it was 1 point in each category, turns out I'm wrong, so I'll just to 3 points in each category for 15+ year old  NPC from now on and trus the math...I for some reason thought everything was devided, and I wanted to get this thing up as quick as possible(no want any edit conflicts)  and didnt take out any time to think. And I'm not trying to kill sibir completely, I just want to beat them enough to be able to intimidate the tatar state.-Lx (leave me a message) 19:41, March 6, 2013 (UTC)
 * Even with those population booms, 4 million of increase sounds like too much, as you would be almost doubling your possible population.there is still the war agains the Caliphate, which would bring your population down.and there are still doubts if you have arable land enough on your territory to feed all those people. (although this would be actually a good explanation for your expansion, in theory)--Collie Kaltenbrunner (talk) 20:21, March 6, 2013 (UTC)
 * Most of the Russian land I own is suitable for agriculture. but in the long run, that makes some decent bit of sense...I want more land to grow and whatnot, with the least ammount of war possible. for that I need Ukraine eventually..(.very good exuse for war with the Ukraine actually) or as much arrible land as possible, ukriane has much more population than the east, making them harder to take care of. the tatar state is almost all airable land, but even if I go to war with them, Sibir is still going to be blocking outward expansion. I want the least ammount of wars possible, so whar do I do? delclare war on Sibir, and use military to threaten the tatars into joining my realm as a vassal(and use their land as a result)...and eventualy they get annexed. -Lx (leave me a message) 21:06, March 6, 2013 (UTC)
 * No you need to conquer the Tatar Kingdom of Kazan, too. This war would intimate them so you could either ally with them (then vassalize them or something similiar after a couple of decades) or invade. Anyway I did the results section in a more easy to follow format. Anyway your best bet is invading Sibir before 1667 as you'd only 5.88% to make the Sibir government collaspe. Then worry about the Tatars in Kazan. <font color="#000000">VonGlusenburg (talk to Von!) 00:26, March 8, 2013 (UTC)
 * You almost read my mind. I was planning to take care of Sibir for good in the near future. and I checked pixelcount for sibir with paint.net and they have 19667. I used the magic wand tool and the pixelcount(area) is on the bottom in pixels square. I was thinking more of a 3 year war, so that means approx 26% taken so 7% needed for a hostile takover. I will try and fool tatar state into thinking sibir is completely dead, or mostly dead, because I will take all land on tatar border. Then threatenally w/tribute in grain then vassalize then diploannex them all within the next 30-50 years.-Lx (leave me a message) 18:43, March 8, 2013 (UTC)

Mate you need to do your own algorithms. They aren't hard just copy & paste another person's algorithm and amend it. I've copied and based the base format there for you & done the easy bits but you must fill the rest in. <font color="#000000">VonGlusenburg (talk to Von!) 19:27, March 7, 2013 (UTC)

Is using the development scores from when he was a NPC is allowed?--Collie Kaltenbrunner (talk) 07:15, March 9, 2013 (UTC)

Now that is a good question Collie. There is no real precident on it so it an issue free for debate. But I would say yes. As if he wasn't here then they'd be able to have a bonus but since he is playing now he no longer gains the bonus but his nation used to so he still has it. However it's only like +3 still rather than a player-development score. <font color="#000000">VonGlusenburg (talk to Von!) 11:56, March 9, 2013 (UTC)

Labelled Map

How do you put the subtitles on it? so i could make my own maps later.--Collie Kaltenbrunner (talk) 07:16, March 9, 2013 (UTC)

There are some mistakes on that map in terms of territories, e.g. Comchellak is much larger and Arabia own all of the Tanzanian spice islands. But other than that it is good. Also Comchellak is a vassal of the Arabian federation and its full name is the Republic of Comchellak. <font color="#000000">VonGlusenburg (talk to Von!) 11:46, March 9, 2013 (UTC)

Religion Map


Since Callumthered had asked me what was the situation of Catholicism on Europe, i went to do a coloured map of this.it got big, so now this became a incomplete world map.dark blue represents Kappelists, blue represents breakaway churches, light blue represents Catholicism, light green represents Nestorianism, green represents Islam, and yellow-brownish represents orthodoxy.it is still incomplete.Obviously, this is political too, as some nations will have some state religion, but the population will follow other one.Anyway, i don't know the Arabian Federation's state religion, to start with.--Collie Kaltenbrunner (talk) 07:48, March 9, 2013 (UTC)
