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 world domination in a week or 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.

Mods
If you think either of us are being unfair, tell us ForsakenPear
 * ForsakenPear - I am the creator. I am in charge of natural events (e.g. earthquakes, floods, droughts, etc.)
 * Imperium Guy - I am in charge of inactive nations if needed (e.g. if they are offered an alliance)

Backdrop

 * 810: An Antilian expidition east, led by Franco Vivarro, discovers the OTL Cape Verde islands, and names them New Tobago. He explores further east and comes across Africa. Amazed by his discovery, he hurries back to the port of Caracas in Antilia to convey the news to the King.
 * 811: Vivarro sets off on a new expedition, this time with three other ships. They once again pass New Tobago, then on to Africa, which Vivarro names New America. When they reached New America, they split up. Two ships went north, two went south, mapping as they went. The northern ships sail all the way round to Europe, which they name Europa, and into the Mediterranean. Once that was explored, they turned home with their new maps. The southern ships made it all the way round New America to the Indian subcontinent. They then went home with a detailed map and news of a good colonizing site.
