Principia Moderni IV (Map Game)

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

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

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

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

 * Cambodia: Three months ago, Pol Pot was captured, hiding in the jungles around Angkor. The public execution of Pol Pot is held in Reachathan, on April 15, 1700 (Khmer New Year 1700), to symbolize an end to war and the beginning of change. After the execution of pol Pot, King Bonaphum officially outlaws the death penalty, saying that "Killing Pol Pot is necessary for the survival of the Kingdom, but this will be the last execution. Everyone, if given time, can change". Primary and secondary schools open in many locations across Cambodia, as three new universities open. Calculus beings to be taught at universities. The vast majority of the country's roads are paved, and the irrigation scheme is going very well. Life is returning to normal. To finish off the Islanders once and for all, the 40,000 troops blockading Koh Rong Island start firing. Within 3 months, the Islanders are all but wiped out.
 * Malaya: The Royal Cavalry is established, with some of the finest horses in the nation filling the ranks. Following the execution of Pol Pot, Potist activities have dropped to an all time low. The new century is celebrated by the marriage of Prince Manjalara and a Chinese noble lady, marking the first Chinese presence in the Royal bloodline. Resources and weapons have been recovered from Roh Kong raids. The University of Johor is established as yet another branch of the University of Malaya, this time catering to aspiring scholars in the south. Following Cambodia, the death penalty is removed entirely, despite it requiring extreme offenses in the first place.
 * Tsardom of Belka: The Tsar finally manages to get the all clear that the city of Vasiligrad is now plague free however the damage has been done and many prominent nobles have migrated their primary home residence into Belgrad. The city due to the Tsar's decree and the attractivness of the city itself has led to the population to nearly double in the last decade going from 160,000 to over 320,000. Many of these coming as immigrants from Vasiligrad and from overcrowding in the massive cities of Sofiya and Tarnovoa both of which boast nearly 500,000 people a peace and Vasiligrad receding back to 700,000. The population of the entire country climbs to 14.2 million. The remaining Aristocracy that exists begins to shrink its unprofitable land holdings making solid profits on selling to the merchant estates to develop as food production or in some cases livestock. The Military sees a more common influx of second sons hoping to make a name for themselves however due to Field Marshal Kamarov's more recent reforms, the system remains merit based and army titles remain unable to be bought up by the nobility forcing the second sons of the nobility to actually be competent as a soldier rather than being granted commissions based on noble titles. While there is some bickering the Tsar quickly silences these issues with a retort to the Duma. "If the freemen makes a better soldier than one of your entitled sons than so be it, but i will not allow the army that brought our predecessors and our current country fester and fall corrupt because you wish to keep your children safe. I have personally led our troops on multiple occasions, The army is a dangerous place, not one where your Noble desire for prestige is to be filled".
 * Kingdom of Mzerka and Wiyot: We keep expanding the school we keep funding it and we ask Iberia,The vatican and other europeans to let us hire their teachers and masters(PLAYER RESPONSE).Paulo Agostinho is send to military and scientific training in the school. The school is called "A igreja da educação e da ciência". This Portuguese name comes from the fact that all education of high importance is now in Portuguese.Governance also begins to put even more Effort into getting all administrators to learn it. We also keep getting Elk wool and making of european and Mzerkan clothing for example Noble Mzerkan men wear a kind of kilt and under it pants and they where above it a kind of Iberian vest above it but in more simple colours and rougher.
 * United Kingdom of Great Britain: So there is now the United Kingdom of Great Britain. The training of the 40,000 British Army is finished and they are assembled and ready.

The construction of a canal connecting Edinburgh to the existing line is finished. Works are finished on road connecting Edinburgh to Dundee. The Army of Islamic India maintains itself at Guddu and Modasa and the army is split between these two forts with 30,000 each while trade flourishes with states in India bringing in Asian wealth. Due to the threat to french Indian ports, Kakinda and Berunga continue to have 5,000 troops for the Army of Islamic India and paid overseas rates for their deployment. There is an expansion of libraries at the universities in a move to push forwards science. England's non- Arcadian colonies continue to receive a steady settlement. A fire in Edinburgh. Fires are still a problem and the devolved Scottish towns start to implement their own fire prevention laws while London has it's fire action plan created and many towns create a ban on 2 wooden houses being built within 10 yards leading to a rise in stone construction. The army remains small with 3,000 men in Ireland, 2,000 men in Scotland and 1000 in Wales and England each with them training the militia force and an additional 9,000 troops are overseas with 4,000 in Arcadia, 1000 in Haiti as well as 250 in St George, St Helena, New Canterbury and Bay of Kost. 1000 sliders and 30 ships are in French Africa. 2000 men are maintained in New Valois to help the French defend it. The fleet is divided with 150 ships stationed in Portsmouth and 120 ships stationed in Bristol. Privateer continues and trade with colonies in a triangular trade going through Africa, America and Europe.
 * British Arcadia: With Burgundy expanding into OTL New York clearly, we also begin heavy our own expansion to counter them. Going from OTL Oswego and Pulaski settlements colonists travel to Glasgow and Doncaster with farms in between these twin settlements. In addition to this, in Essex, colonists push 50 px west in the south of the colony creating new plantations. Settlers move up a further 20 px along the western side of the Susquehanna river establishing farms staying out of Iroqios claimed lands even though they're not in the area. New settlers are taken in from Europe, Africa and Asia under the contract system.
 * Maian Diplomacy: Now that Maiam has achieved self-rule, they ask England to honor their agreement and return Honduras to its rightful owner.

In total damages are moderate and 1,300 people die from the storm. due to this tragedy a memorial is made in the effected regions for the lives lost and Sea Defences are made in vulnerable regions of Bengal, Burma, and Orissa. Our economy fully recovers and a firework display is held in Mas Ubai as a New Year's celebration. Streets and public roads are developed further to keep up with modern day inovations and development. Ploughs become very common in Burdagan and Western Burdagan farms. Sewers are upgaded and developed further with more areas having access. The spice trade continues to recover and Precious Mineral Exports remain on the rise. We continue to defend Nepal from Tibetan aggression. Ths school syste is developed further. We recruit 46,000 troops to aour armed military force. Ship reports are now made across the bay of Bengal for storm reports and their movements in order to have some sort of preparation for storm development. 34 ships are built for the empire's navy. 4 of which are megaships.


 * Great Iberia: King João II works to centralize the realm under the House of Braganza and promote Portuguese culture and language throughout the mainland and Mediterranean holdings. Construction continues on the Paço da Ribeira in Lisbon, which will house the royal family after it is completed. Support is extended to the animist faction of Ndongo in the form of mercenaries. Iberia continues supporting Savoy and training their army. With the end of hostilities in Maiam, the army in Nova Galiza is ferried to Nova Lusitânia. Vizagapatam is reinforced by 3,000 troops and 5 ships from other theaters. The Iberian fleet blockades French ports in Africa and Brazil. Portuguese privateers plunder the coast of Brazil. Iberia offers an alliance with Mapuche, predicting their expansion will inevitably collide with the French colonies and make them a natural ally. The Califórnias continue expansion down the coast and along the Baixa Califórnia peninsula. Indian Bay continues to receive settlers. Mêcicipi expands upriver. New settlements are founded in the Caribbean colonies and Maranhão. Benguela and Parnaíba continue to receive settlers.
 * Maiam: Having made peace with Iberia, the young emperor travels to Mayapan and declares it the capital of his restored empire. He sponsors projects to rebuild parts of the city lost during the war and encourages immigration of displaced Mayans to Yucatán. Trade with Europe resumes, putting much-needed wealth into the empire's coffers. Despite its status, Maiam is able to operate with little oversight from the Crown, govern its own affairs, and field a sizable army. Although wishing to remove all traces of colonial rule, the emperor is still forced to accommodate the settlers and merchants who gained a foothold on Maiam's coasts during the viceroyalty administration.
 * Benguela: The colony begins expanding inland, having full control of the coast. Benguela City is garrisoned by 3,100 troops in total; Velha-Benguela by 2,600, Lobito by 2,000, Namibe by 1,000, and Forte de São Pedro (Catumbela) by 1,000. Portuguese settlers begin moving into the area between Benguela and Namibe, founding settlements along the coast, the largest at Bai-a Farta, Lucira, and Porto Alexandre (OTL Tômbwa).
 * Iberian Diplomacy to France: With the majority of forts in Central Africa controlled by Iberia, peace is again offered to France if they recognize the current borders of Benguela. All other land (in Brazil) will be returned to France.


 * Swahili: We continue our agriculture policies. The army continues convincing contracted servants. Areas interior to Mombasa and Malindi is colonized. We also send out conquistadors to expand northwards into more northern Somalia. We continue colonial expansion. We adapt more plants to the Swahili climate. We continue expanding southwards. Mineral processing is developed. Agriculture advancements continues. The Sultan continues the campaign to encourage the upper class to sponsor culture and learning in Swahili. Another 10,000 Swahili soldiers are fortified in the Zimbabwe Plateau, while we continue to launch raids into Rowzi villages to force them to end the aggression.
 * Sultanate of Qamar: Qamar is further developed.

Tuvov is expanded to the area around Cordova. The Tsar moves into the grand palace in Novgorod. Pyotr hopes for Novgorod to become a great city in the world.

1701
''' Further expansion policies of the Mapuche to the East leads to a massive integration of tribal or unsettled territory running up on the French colonies in the region. '''

''' The First wave of successful rebuilding in Ionia begins to see cities like Nicomedia and Nicaea starting to be restored to their former glory, something championed as a triumph of the Patriarch of Vasiligrad, who plans on visiting the pope to discuss religious matters. '''

'''A great famine occurs in the Baltic Sea, affecting Scandinavia and Russia. one-fourth of the Finnish and Estonian population is wiped out.'''

Seeing European expansion as a threat to their survival, the Iroquois form an expansive confederacy along side many other tribes, stretching from OTL New York, Pennsylvania and West Virginia, west across the Great Lakes to Lake Michigan, and south to Tennessee.

Due to the nature of the jungle and lack of the ability to communicate the expansions into the Jungles of Central Africa falls apart leaving Zaire in dire economic straits as well as not know what happened to their expeditions and settlers.


 * Rashidun Caliphate: The Kilab Al-Rub continue to be personal military ruilng over Cairo and surrounding forts. The economy continues to improve from tithes and fees. The Ulema continues to sponsor universities and libraries across Egypt, along with museums and studies of history. Culture is still kept at the Baroque era. The Caliph continues to administrate over Islam, sending missions to SE Asia, Laurentia, and Southern Africa. Large amounts of resources are sent to Ndongo to help the Muslims there. Hejazism is familiarized across the most intellectual circles of the Middle East, but it is in Hejaz proper that the philosophy has significant hold. 50,000 troops are deployed into Morocco. The population is now 95 million.
 * ​Jaffarid Sultanate: After taking control over the secular authority of the Caliphate in the Middle East, the Jaffarids continues to expand the navy and military on modern technology.

 * Ethiopian Empire: The military continues to expand, utilizing conscriptions of Amharic immigrants from Egypt. In addition, the various princes cooporating with the Emperor begin loaning their own militaries which are organized and centralized around Medinah Jamil (OTL Ziwa). Waterworks expanded by the Emperor irrigate most of the land, greatly expanding the farmland. The roadsystem also begins construction to connect the cities together. Emperor John grows old, and organizes the government in Medinah Jamil to sign over the control of the government to his brother, Iyasu. His son, Theodore, is a brilliant youth beyond his years who is trianing carefully in the new regional military.
 * France: The French navy gathers 30 ships in Luanda and 20 in Lobito. 30 ships move with 5,000 men to attack Namibe. 30 ships from the mainland reinforce them soon after. After five years of blockade we request Turin surrender. (Mod response) OCC: Can I have ten cities under French control listed including Nice.
 * Maghreb Dip: We send the troops the Caliphate deployed (120,000) plus 30,000 Maghreb troops to France to help in the African Front
 * How and why is Maghreb sending 150,000 troops to Angola? Aside from the ASB, region modifiers won't permit an expedition of this size. -General
 * Big hell no here -Feud
 * Great Iberia: King João II works to centralize the realm under the House of Braganza and promote Portuguese culture and language throughout the mainland and Mediterranean holdings. Construction continues on the Paço da Ribeira in Lisbon, which will house the royal family after it is completed. João II, a very pious man, has decided to respect the wish of the Pope and seek peace with the French. Support is extended to the animist faction of Ndongo in the form of mercenaries. Iberia continues supporting Savoy and training their army. 7,000 troops and 70 ships are sent to relieve Namibe. Lobito is reinforced by 6,000 troops and 35 ships. The Iberian fleet blockades French ports in Africa and Brazil. Portuguese privateers plunder the coast of Brazil. Iberia offers an alliance with the Mapuche, predicting their expansion will inevitably collide with the French colonies and make them a natural ally. The Califórnias continue expansion down the coast and along the Baixa Califórnia peninsula. Indian Bay continues to receive settlers. Mêcicipi expands upriver. New settlements are founded in the Caribbean colonies and Maranhão. Benguela and Parnaíba continue to receive settlers. The Portuguese extend their influence over more of Gowa. Iberian trade ships begin making round trips to the Indies. The sugar islands of the Lesser Antilles and West Africa generate wealth for the Crown. Iberian levies in Maiam and Nova Lusitânia are disbanded.
 * Maiam: The defenses of Mayapan and Mexico are reinforced, with Mexico growing to become a secondary capital. The army of Maiam numbers 20,000 professional troops. Having seen firsthand the effectiveness of artillery in battle or when breaking down the walls of a fortress, the Emperor makes an effort to acquire artillery pieces wherever they are found, and reinforce the defenses of Maiam to better protect against artillery. He also presses the issue of Honduras to England, asking them to honor their agreement and return Honduras now that Maiam has achieved self-rule.
 * Benguela: The colony expands inland. Benguela City is garrisoned by 3,100 troops in total; Velha-Benguela by 2,600, Lobito by 8,000, Namibe by 8,000, and Forte de São Pedro (Catumbela) by 1,000. Portuguese settlers begin moving into the area between Benguela and Namibe, founding settlements along the coast, the largest at Bai-a Farta, Lucira, and Porto Alexandre (OTL Tômbwa).
 * Iberian Diplomacy to France: With the majority of forts in Central Africa controlled by Iberia, peace is again offered to France if they recognize the current borders of Benguela. All other land (in Brazil) will be returned to France. They are especially encouraged to accept this treaty now that the Pope has called for peace, and resolve this dispute instead of escalating it further.
 * English Dip It hasn't achieved self rule. Iberia still basically rules it.
 * Papal States: Pope Zosimus II calls on Iberia and France to end hostilities. With the army militarised, the Pope turns his attention to the States' crumbling defence infrastructure, such as forts and defensive walls. The Papal force continues fighting in the German War [presumably]. Overseas now, and the Pope, on hearing of the faith of the Mzerka people, sends a simple (yet elegant) golden crown to King Amadeus Diltwa of the Mzerka, and offers his sons, including the Prince Paulo Aghostino a chance to study in Rome (Mzerka response please). Missions continue in the New World, Korea-China, Giapan, Lan Xang, and Southern Africa. [Update after events posted:] Pope Zosimus II  writes to the Patriarch of Vasiigrad, saying His Beatitude is welcome to visit Rome and meet him.
 * Malaya: The shadow theater trade begins to merge with Malayan orchestra, utilising several indigenous instruments, as well as European and East Asian instruments. A rudimentary violin is created in Sabah, although bearing more resemblance to a hollow koto. French is taught in schools nationwide as an optional language. The Prince expresses his interest in the piano, and purchases one for his residence in Malacca. Resources are sent to Sabah to help with modernization there.
 * Al-Afriqia State: Sunhaib, son of Jalaal, remains imprisoned, and calls for reform in Zayiyr. His followers and political associates against Aseel continue to be impriso ned for charges of treason. The population inside the prisons steadies at 24,000, with the total population currently being 1,012,000.  We continue to supply the Islamic revolutionaries in Ndongo with weaponry and resources. With the inability to properly contact our settlers, Sultan Aseel simply forgets about them and continues to swim within his wealth while the citizens continue to work hard for little pay. Large clear cutting projects opened by the Sultana Werababa begins as a new business is opened: Wood Shop (ًخخي ساخح). The business's main goal is to stop the loss of settlers and to make way for urbanization. Although 59% of the citizens are dedicated to mining, the Sultana moves 2% of those workers to clear cutting, which although raises small time controversy, proves successful as a few small acres of land are opened for house construction. Although our economy greatly depends on mining, we hope to balance the homeless rate in Zayiyr with the urbanization, which the homeless rate is at 36%. Raashid returns from France having learned knowledge about their government. Sultan Aseel, being paranoid, imprisons young Raashid for treason. a new, large-scale prison is being created. The prison is being created in an abandoned mine, and because of this, it should be finished by 1710. The prison is designed to hold 50,000 citizens. In the latter part of the year, Sultana Werababa gives birth to twins Ariyya and Jamaal, which raises small questions of whether or not she is the incarnation of the devil, and decreases approval ratings further. To continue his reign across all of the Kongo, Sultan Aseel orders the construction of small outposts within each vassal that have dense forests (all of them). The outposts will be built near cities and will tax the vassals for Zayiyr's protection. Each outpost will hold 10 soldiers armed with rifles. These outposts are all expected to be finished by 1703.


 * ​ Big solid nope there -Feud
 * Belkan Empire: Following Years of reforms, the moving of the capital, the final solidification of the imperial aristocracy, and the Imperial family, Tsar Peter is proclaimed Emperor of Belka, a step above Tsardom which coloquially can be considered a Kingdom by Latin linguists. This elevation comes to great Fanfare across the empire and the coronation is put on the same day that Grand Prince and eventually Tsar Vasili the Impaler or "Vasili the Great" as he is more well known in Belka, pushed the Turks out of Europe and back into anatolia, the First of many wars which saw the receding of the Heathen Turks and Caliphate forces from Europes doorstep. Emperor or now Czar (the terms being reflected as the spelling change to reflect the upgrade in status) issues a decree and implements compulsory schooling for the high merchants, nobility, and other high level members of Belkas society essentially forcing the final holdouts to integrate into Belkan culture and language. The success of previous implementation of language is apparent as many people from the churches of banks of Zagreb to the massive ports of the Aegean coast all the way into the forests of Moldavia and the great Vlach plains speak Belkan. It is mutually understandable across many facets of the empires languages with old Vlach, Bulgar, Serb, Bosnian, and Slovene languages all being mutually understanding of Belkan. The Similarity of Croatian with these brings to order the fact that eventually Croatian will fall under this umbrella term and hence scholars refer to these language as the "Belkan Tongues" with croatia being considered somewhat outside for the time being due to its recent inclusion into the grand lexicon of the modernized Slavonic speak. The Czar also now solidified in his role as a total absolute monarch, removing the last vestiges of noble power by stripping away the final nobles abilities to raise troops or act without Petar knowing. While potentially seen as oppressive Petar being a good diplomat and also a rather well to do cultural man has fostered a new cultural attitude in the nation. New Artworks coming out of Belkan Baroque also known a Belkonic artwork becomes prominent, showing the vast attention to detail and the expansion of artistic technique which is based on the many great battles fought in the last century. One of the most popular is a massive mural painted along the back wall of the throne room in Belgrad depicting the final battle of Ankara between the Belkan armies and the Caliphate. The sponsoring of the Scientific method also comes to fruition as lodges specifically geared towards innovation come about. This does however attract philosophers as well who begin to formulate new ideas such as ones on governance, the possibility of "social contract" as well as the modernization of economic procedure. With much of the problems of the Civil war having ended the Belkan agricultural base has consequently been revolutionized by this with the incorporation of new world crops to make up for extreme crop shortages as well as much larger wheat yields giving way to unheard of population growth with much larger families becomming the norm as land in the north and the West becomes much more popular for settlement. Croatia, Transylvania and the Moldavian regions become extremely popular and see large swaths of population growth as the new agricultural production of the Vlach plain and the core regions near Bulgaria, Grecia, and somewhat in serbia have expanded. However some reports put Transylvania as the potential to be the real breadbasket of the empire which spurs some interest.
 * Hawaii: Upon his ascension to the throne several years prior, King Keaweʻīkekahialiʻiokamoku and several members of his family and court embarked on a tour of the Hawaiian islands, hoping to expand his already legendary reputation as a brave warrior and leader. He met with the Aliʻi nui of the other Hawaiian islands, hoping to foster further cooperation and trade among the Hawaiians. Returning to Hawaii, he learned that in his absence a dispute had broken out between his family and the powerful and independent ʻI family of Hilo, on the eastern half of the island. Seeking to preserve peace on the island, he married Lonomaʻikanaka, the daughter of Ahu-a-ʻI, and had his son Kalaninuiomamao married to Ahia, the granddaughter of Kuaʻana-a-ʻI and cousin to Kuahuia's son, Mokulani, ending the feud. The Hilo chiefs reaffirmed their allegiance to him, becoming one of the most influential and powerful chiefs under his control. This action brought the entirety of the island under the king’s control, as the culmination of over two centuries of centralization, begun by his ancestors in the early sixteenth century. After centuries of semi-regular meetings, in which a new system of administration had begun to take shape, in the capital city of Ka-luahine (OTL Pāhala), the chieftains of Hawaii are called to formally swear loyalty to the king. Additionally amendments to the laws of the island are created to reform the kingdom and further consolidation control under the king. The meeting of the many chiefs in the capital city, the king hopes, will set a precedent for cooperation in the centuries to come. The port in the capital is expanded, hoping to further facilitate trade among the islands and beyond, and plans are created for the creation of more advanced repair facilities to begin outfitting a more modern Hawaiian fleet of war canoes. Although Keaweʻīkekahialiʻiokamoku had thus far consolidated his rule over the island diplomatically, he begins training a loyal army in the capital, requesting that the chieftains send a portion of their forces to his disposal. The taxation system is expanded to facilitate this expansion, with the majority of these funds going toward infrastructure on the island. Specifically, the king orders a rotational system of crop harvesting, and a shared ownership of the lands, which will henceforth be under his absolute control, so that no chief can amass enough power to threaten the central government. Overall this leads to an expansion of farmlands and an overall greater yield of crops, with the central government receiving the largest yield.
 * Too much for one year -Nate
 * United Kingdom of Great Britain: So there is now the United Kingdom of Great Britain. The training of the 40,000 British Army is finished and they are assembled and ready. England has 6.4 million people and inside of that London has a population of 0.8 million, Wales has 0.6 million Ireland has 1.6 million people and Scotland 0.9 million people. A road is started connecting Dundee to Aberdeen and in addition the English Midlands continue to have more canals built. The Army of Islamic India maintains itself at Guddu and Modasa and the army is split between these two forts with 30,000 each while trade flourishes with states in India bringing in Asian wealth. Due to the threat to french Indian ports, Kakinda and Berunga continue to have 5,000 troops for the Army of Islamic India and paid overseas rates for their deployment. There is an expansion of libraries at the universities in a move to push forwards science. England's non- Arcadian colonies continue to receive a steady settlement. In an attempt to reduce the number of fires more wooden houses are removed and replaced with stones houses while plumbing is worked on in London to allow better fire fighting. There is a rise in the use of the seed drill throughout Britain. Robert Walpole a successful businessman and son of a politician is elected Parliament and for his ability to work with Whigs and the Government he gains the respect of his party. The army remains small with 3,000 men in Ireland, 2,000 men in Scotland and 1000 in Wales and England each with them training the militia force and an additional 9,000 troops are overseas with 4,000 in Arcadia, 1000 in Haiti as well as 250 in St George, St Helena, New Canterbury and Bay of Kost. 1000 sliders and 30 ships are in French Africa. 2000 men are maintained in New Valois to help the French defend it. The fleet is divided with 150 ships stationed in Portsmouth and 120 ships stationed in Bristol. Privateer continues and trade with colonies in a triangular trade going through Africa, America and Europe.
 * British Arcadia: The Iroquois forming some big confederacy is fine as long as they keep all Europeans out we respect their current territorial integrity and hope that they will respect ours. We strengthen static defences in the region. Since we aren't expanding in that area anymore we resume mass expansion into New Essex at 50px across the southern area making new plantations. A collegiate school is opened in OTL New York.


 * Kingdom of Mzerka and Wiyot: We keep putting more funds into the "A igreja da educação e da ciência"this is funded by the gold mining that happence in Wituye Diltwa. We get into trading our iron agrecultural tools to tribes. we also establish a trading in the OTL Arcata Bay. We Keep expanding our roads to from Wituye Diltwa to the OTL Arcata Bay but we name it yepe bay. We also build our cannoes but we ask the Iberians if they will sell us some of their smaller boats and lets us hire naval experts so we can make them Ourself(Iberia response) We will pay Iberia with Hides and Elk Horns.
 * Papal Diplomacy: The Pope, on hearing of the faith of the Mzerka people, sends a simple (yet elegant) golden crown to King Amadeus Diltwa of the Mzerka, and offers his sons, including the Prince Paulo Aghostino a chance to study in Rome if they so choose.
 * Mzerkan diplomacy to Papal States: We accept the request of the papecy to let Paulo the six year old son studdy in Rome. We also ask the Vatican to send representives to Mzerka to Crown Diltwa and We will show before them a millitary parade in honour of the Pope.
