Principia Moderni II (Map Game)

Principia Moderni, or "The Beginning of the Modern" in Late Latin, was a map game beginning in the final days of the Middle Ages in Europe, and the early days of the Ming Dynasty in China -- in 1420 C.E, a turbulent era; in other words, an era of change; an era in which power is cemented. The first game was perhaps the most successful map game on the wiki in terms of length, finishing without dying and plausible expansions. However, it did have its problems, and has now finished. Thus, this second game has been created. Welcome to Principia Moderni II.

Signups
All nations without names by them may be taken by new players immediately. Nations with normal names by them may not be taken by new players as they are already established main player nations, and cannot be played without permission or a revolt. Bolded names are international unions, with member states indented below. Tribal Names are italicized, and areas which are fragmented by being small states are underlined. Nations in civil disarray or collapsing nations have an attached note. If a player's name has an * beside it, it means that nation is a vassal/former colony that a player is controlling but is willing to let someone else play as if asked. Areas which ** are mod-controlled and players must ask permission to play them.

1660

 * PMII1660.png Mononobe Shogunate builds up the military and continues to expand more into 霊烏路 (Reiuzi) (Kamchatka) by 4950 sq km. Meanwhile, 沖縄國 (Okinawa Kingdom) builds up its military. Also, 幽谷 (Kasodani) expands by 1500 sq km, 東海道 (Tōkaidō) expands by 1500 sq km, 屠自古 (Tojiko) expands by 900 sq km. Taoism in 幽谷 (Kasodani) continues to rise in popularity and more Taoist Temples are built.
 * A peace treaty is signed on Zaragoza. Meanwhile, in the negotiations, it is established that Francesco will keep his throne, as long as he pledges vassalage to the King of Portugal, as Garcia II and Fernando VI want to avoid deposing him and probably face another revolt, as he is, or was popular on his country having not much of other choice. Francesco accepts. Meanwhile, Navarra is also dissociated from Aragon, and given to Garcia II temporarily, to avoid an interregnum. Thus, for a short period of time, Garcia II is also Garcia VII of Navarra. Meanwhile, Alfonso, Prince of Cantabria's marriage is arranged to Ana de Borja, youngest daughter of Francesco, under other terms of the treaty. After the signing of the treaty, Fernando VI and Garcia II start to decide what to do with Navarra.the suggestion of giving it to the closest living relative of Juan II of Navarra is soon dropped, as the closest relative would be Luis VI de Beaumont, the Count of Lerín, who just had his lands in Navarra given back. With Fernando VI not trusting him with ruling Navarra, he is passed up. The suggestion of eleiminating the French from the succession, thus tracing the descent back to Ramiro Sánchez, father of Garcia VI, also fails, due to the sheer difficulty of tracing a descent line over 600 years, what could make the results be extremely unpredictable, like having, for example, the Marchess of La Hinojosa being the closest agnatic relative to Ramiro Sánchez having other suggestions also failed, such as giving the kingdom to a Navarrese noble, and the fact that none of the suggestions would probably solve the problem of the Biscayan land claims controversy. Garcia resorts to suggest giving the kingdom to Fernando, as Garcia also does not want to try to rule both directly at the same time.Fernando VI of Castille then becomes King of Navarra as Fernando I, after Garcia II abdicates and passes the throne to him. Fernando soon recreates the lordships of Álava and Guipúzcoa, those lordships being elevated to counties, and the Count of Oñate, Iñigo III Vélez de Guevara also receiving his Navarrese lands back. Guipúzcoa is given to Vela II Aznar de Iturbide, Lord of Mendavia, and Álava is given to Álvaro de Landa, Lord of Landa Meanwhile, in Castille, proper, Iñigo IV Lasso de La Vega is given the title of Marchess of Argüeso.In León, Luis Mendez de Haro is given the title of Duke of Montoro, and in Portugal, having achieved hegemony of all the Christian Iberian states, Garcia II adds "Emperor of Spain" to his titles.and out of the nobiliary issues, Sofala expands 500 sq km, Santo Amaro expands 500 sq km and Loanda expands 500 sq km, while in Brasil, São Vicente expands 2000 sq km, and in Rio da Prata, Córdoba expands 2200 sq km. Meanwhile, Urraca Garcia de Sousa gives birth to a boy, who is named Garcia, and who dies not long after his birth.
 * The Manchurians expand their Báitǔdì colony by 4000 sq km.
 * Somali Sultanate: Sultan Kareem Dalmar turns 35, and has a son named named Amiir Dalmar. Meanwhile a Somali noble known as Axmed Gullet begins his rise to power. The Somali Sultanate continues to expand 10,000 km northeast to the coast and trade with near by countries. After ten years of expanding Somali trade and land, Sultan Kareem Dalmar is known as, "The Expansionist"
 * Cyprus continues to expand its army and navy. Nea Lefkosia expands by 900 sq km, Nea Larnaka expands for 900 sq km, Nea Lemesos expands for 800 sq km and Nea Pafos expands by 700 sq km.
 * Scandinavia expands its military and economy. Nya Danmark expands 500 sq km onto Cape Breton and the river's mouth and Eriksmark expands 3000 sq km along the bay in both directions. Ny Norg Stad continues its busy port duties and its naval base in the harbor is expanded. Scandinavian immigrants flock to New Georgia after the incentive program offered by the Kejszar. Nya Milan (renamed Öst Pekar) expands 1100 sq km around the cape. The Nye Norgen governor continues his diplomacy. Bengal continues to exert its influence on the Lankan kingdoms, with them believing that the Sultan of Bengal is still in power. By year's end they decide to join Bengal under a single Lankan king. The Viceroy of Nya Skandinavia continues his sponsoring of the mix breed Aymara chief, who defeats a western chief this year and consolidates his holdings in the northeast. The Kejszar is glad that the Aragonese affair is over. Since it is now his domain, he orders the construction of several Scandinavian naval bases in the Baleares. The Irish kingdoms have accepted last year's offer of joining NETA. The Kejszar personally invites the other Baltic kingdoms to join the organization.
 * Hey man, Ceylon or Lankan is under Netherlands influence for several years, even before Bengal starts there...
 * And there's also the fact that the island can't be united in any other way that isn't conquest. A diplomatic union there would be very difficult, if not nearly impossible to maintain without ethnic-religious tensions. (ex: Tamil Tigers in OTL)
 * France - Burgundy: The military is built up, and the navy expands widely and the Colonies expand. Nouvelle Bourgogne and Brasilea expand 750 sq km and Guiane expands 500 sq km, the King Frederic begins growing its power within France without challenging the Constitutional Monarchy, the Education system grows and the religious freedom law begins to be enacted in France. It ask for an alliance with Normandy and the Duchess of Guiane marries a Duke of France called Louis of Poitier. They marry in the city of Nouveau Arles in Guiane founded a few years ago. Also, I will add my colonial expansion of the last few years.
 * Ethiopia expands its vassal of Maynila by 1000 km, and expands the imperial economy and military. Ethiopia also invades Yemen, with evidenced discovered that the ancient kingdom of Aksum once held lands there, stirring Ethiopian desires to reconquer that land. With Ethiopian influence increasing in Aceh, the Ethiopian throne decides to offer the sultan the chance to join Ethiopia peacefully and reap the benefits of being a part of a powerful colonial empire.
 * Options_for_ethiopia_(PMII).png don't share a land border with Kitara. This is against the rules.
 * Then can I switch my attack to another nation? I don't want to waste my algorithm. ~Viva
 * These ones.
 * UMSHM: More work is done on the Kassel-Dresden highway.
 * Primatial City of Magdeburg: Another small mission is established on the Western coast of Australis.
 * China declares war on and invades Tibet. The massive military pours into the nation, sacking military forts. While the mountains slow the Chinese advance by a bit, the highly trained and advanced Chinese military makes it farther into the nation than most other nations would. The lack of roads, while also an impediment, serve to benefit neither side of the war.
 * The Orissans offer their full military aid in the war if we can discuss a few lands which we would like to come under our juristication.
 * A third child is born to the Raja and Rani, and it seems as if the Raja wants to ensure the survival of his line. It is another daughter. The Raja is no less happier, however, and is overjoyed for his new child. Merchants keep getting slightly more successful with every transaction. More children attend schools and more children become indoctrinated in Orissa's teachings. Many head away from all the chaos of the war and Naya Mataram grows 1000 km onto the island the colony was established on. Cebu sees more Vedics in its country, and helps bolsert its faith of Hinduism on the island. Many temples are built, and many brahmins go on to build ashrams (missionary schools) in the country, helping poor children get an education on language and religion. These ashrams are run by many Pandits, many of whom are from Cebu itself, and ensure that the regional language is still taught to the poor children. More schools are built in Orissa itself, with the schools now beginning to offer optional languages like Cebunese (yea, that's my name for the regional language of Cebu). The schools have helped create a generation who are more "Orissan" than anything. The SOC continues to gain money, with Venetian ports becoming huge markets for Orissan products. The hub cities grow even more this year. Industry sees growth as some small factories are made in the colony, too. The Navy sees its new class of ships being constructed and delivered to it on time, and help to keep order in its waters. The NOC sees more profits after the Netherlands accepted its deals. Dehli counterattacks in a splendid manner, and forces Coalition troops back. Yet the Raja is not one to give up, and launches another offensive. They manage to keep hold of a quarter of the rump Delhi, and declare a ceasefire for now - bringing the war to an end. The army is given resting time, yet troop concentrations remain high on the border with Dehli. Oudh continues to see mass conversions and the suppression of Muslims and many forced conversions into Hinduism and sends aid to the coalition. Bihar continues to try to undermine Buddhist teachings, although much more subtly, by preaching to the Gurkahs. Carnatic comes under vassalage from Orissa, with the country's economy being completely reliant on Orissan trading. Roads are built in the country and their army is financed. The Raja is also very interested in the Chinese-Tibetan war, and is looking to reclaim traditional Indian lands from the nation.
 * Mataram uses its diplomatic freedom to great effect and begins to vassalise Negaha Daha. It also begins to open up talks with Sumedang about letting the country enter into a diplomatic union with a growing power (in its own right) in the area. Some progress is made but it looks like it might take years for it be convinced to join. More spices are grown in its territories, with many farmers moving to Sundabang where there are less people to try to set up new lives. Huge migration between its territories continues. Vedic Hinduism conversion also takes place. The military also grows, yet it does not declare war as they are planning for another campaign.
 * The_Arabian_Federation,_1660.png Arabian Federation builds up its infrastructure after seeing three new Sheikdoms joined the federation in the last couple of years. The infrastructure is also improved as the other states integrate following the recent spate of dynastic unions, invasions and annexations.
 * Kingdom of the Netherlands: John Wittlems the Great Stadtholder, continues to improve the military, focusing on the navy. New Zeeland (Puerto Rico) expand their possessions to OTL Bahamas. Argentium colony expands 2000 km north. Chiloe colony expand the north coast 1500 km. Vasalization of Munster and Liege continue. The VOC occupy Andaman Islands is kingdoms name; Acech is convinced to not accept the Ethiopian proposal and becomes a Netherlands protectorate (puppet); Ceylon is close to be part of the kingdom, too. Trading posts in Kongo become bigger and the local goverment falls under Netherlands influence.
 * Keep my warning about Ceylon in mind, and ah, you can't expand both of your colonies by 2000 sq km each. The 2000 is to be divided by both, aside from the fact that less than a five year old colony can only have 200 sq km of expansion, and three, you can't expand into stable nations with no war. To get Bahamas you'll have to go to war to get it.
 * Ukraine Kingdom: The Ukraine builds up its military. A new King takes power after the late monarch dies of pnemonia, and he is King Bodhan. Training of a new army branch called the Home Guard begins.
 * Bavaria continues to modernise infrastructure and legal systems. Bavaria begins plans to move assets into recently conquered Slovakia.
 * Hungary: Emperor László VII comands the army for the defense. All men are fighting to protect their land. The whole kingdom is united for the defense. Fleet comanded by Grand Admiral Zsak Mikal keeps controlling all ther Black Sea. Hungarian colony of Ubanga expands 200 km north.
 * Duchy of Wallachia: All army is fighting in Hungary.
 * In Germany, the colonies expand as usual, as well as the military and economy. Assimilation begins in conquered Prussian territory.
 * Luxembourg expands its military.

1661
''' Persia, after defeating Armenia, deposes the former Armenian king, and places another Armenian noble in his place, as a Persian vassal. '''

''' The Kingdom of Yugoslavia regroups at the new capital of Skoplje. King Nikola I dies and is replaced by his son Nikola II, who sends a message to Venice relinquishing any claim to the territories controlled by Venice. Nikola II orders the construction of new schools to educate the population. In light of the conflict between Bosnians and Serbs in the Yugoslavian army, the new schools are ordered to emphasize Yugoslavian national identity over racial identity. For now they only let in the ruling elite, but Nikola II has big dreams for Yugoslavia. '''


 * The Mononobe Shogunate builds up the military and continues to expand more into 霊烏路 (Reiuzi) (Kamchatka) by 4950 sq km. Meanwhile, 沖縄國 (Okinawa Kingdom) builds up its military. Also, 幽谷 (Kasodani) expands by 1500 sq km, 東海道 (Tōkaidō) expands by 1500 sq km, 屠自古 (Tojiko) expands by 900 sq km. Taoism in 幽谷 (Kasodani) continues to rise in popularity and more Taoist Temples are built.
 * Portugal, León, Castille, Aragon and Navarra prepare their militaries, with Aragon emphasizing the navy. Meanwhile, in Portugal, Urraca Garcia de Sousa gives birth to a boy, who is named Garcia. Unlike his homonymous of 1660, he survives the year. Meanwhile, the King Garcia II creates the House of the Infantado, which comprises a non-hereditary lordship to be given to the second son of the Portuguese monarch. Thus, the first Lord of the Infantado is Nuno, second son of Garcia II. Meanwhile, Santo Amaro expands 500 sq km. Meanwhile, is reported in Lara the presence of a Georgian community, apparently made out of exiles from what used to be New Georgia. Loanda expands 500 sq km, and Índia expands 500 sq km on the little space available after the appearance of the Gujarat successor states. In Brasil, Pernambuco and Paraíba expand, with both, expansion totalizing 1800 sq km if summed, and in Rio da Prata, Uruguai expands 500 sq km, and Santa Maria expands 1900 sq km.
 * Cyprus continues to expand its army and navy. Cypriot colonies expand worldwide. Cyprus expands Nea Lefkosia by 900 sq km, Nea Larnaka by 900 sq km, Nea Lemesos by 800 sq km and Nea Pafos by 700 sq km.
 * Crete also expands its army and navy.
 * The Manchurians expand their Báitǔdì colony by 4000 sq km
 * York; King Ron allies with his father-in-law Chieftain Bob of Wales to put him in power. He sends Bob one- third of his military force to do this.
 * Ethiopia expands its military and economy. The vassal of Maynila is expanded by 10,000 km, and the vassal of Adal also expanded by 10,000 km. The campaigns in Yemen proceed as expected, with few losses and much land and wealth gained from the conquests. The colony of Wärqama is expanded by 400 km, and the colony of Yäwah Wäjäb is expanded by 600 km.
 * Scandinavia expands its military and economy. Nya Danmark expands 500 sq km onto Cape Breton and the river's mouth and Eriksmark expands 3000 sq km along the bay in both directions. Ny Norg Stad continues its busy port duties and its naval base in the harbor is expanded. Scandinavian immigrants flock to New Georgia after the incentive program offered by the Kejszar. Nya Milan (renamed Öst Pekar) expands 1100 sq km around the cape. The Nye Norgen governor continues his diplomacy. The Sultan of Bengal begins a plan for his preferred Lankan kingdom to consolidate the puppeted island under a single kingdom. This will be difficult, given that his other Lankan subjects are under different governments. The viceroy-sponsored Aymara chief invades the eastern chieftain's territory and makes headway into the region. In Nya Skandinavia, the puppet Incan ruler dies with no heir. The viceroy decides that, after 70 years, the perishing and Swedish-influenced empire be annexed into the colony. Naval bases on the Baleares are constructed and ready. In Suecia Aragones, the port begins to thrive again as increased Mediterranean shipping revives it after decades of decline. The Kejszar prepares for an invasion of the Khmer Empire in order to consolidate the nation's position in Southeast Asia.
 * The Saami expand into the Saami Peninsula (OTL Kola peninsula) and begin to incorporate the East Saami into their society.
 * France: The kingdom builds its military and navy. The growing of the school system reaches 20% after years of implementation widely in France, and Burgundian becomes the main language of eastern France though d'oil languages continue dominating. Colonies expand and forces grow, Aquitaine is offered protection if they agree to returning to France or becoming Vassals under protection of France in case of an expansionist Occitania.
 * Also Principia Moderni II 1540 to 1569 (Map Game) 
 * I don't think they need to worry about an expansionist Toulouse, given they are allied with them.
 * "Genoa: Our three colonies (Africa, East Cuba, East Hispaniola) are offered to Burgundy for money and weapons. The navy is improved.
 * Burgundy: We accept your outstanding offer and we will pay the needed to gain this colonies.
 * I want my east Cuba, Africa and east Hispaniola back, please. Sine dei gloriem (talk) 02:30, April 4, 2013 (UTC)
 * After 100 years of ignoring them you suddenly decide you want them? They have all collapsed and disappeared by now.
 * Nope, I didn't ignore them. I was forced to when the Dutch got independent and according to AP I had no outlet to the sea. Then, after Luxemburg took mine, but I didn't ignore them. You ignored me counting them as part of me. I even corrected several maps to add their expansion.
 * Also, I gave greater priority to Neu Antwerp and Brasilea at the time, and I wasn't sure which colony was from the Dutch so...
 * ​Venice offers Nikola II the option to unite the Slavic races if he agrees to become a vassal of Venice. In return, Yugoslavia will span from Croatia to Macedonia with a coastline at Montenegro (basically OTL Yugoslavia). Yugoslavia will also receive a navy starter pack and also Venetian technology.

 * Ukraine Kingdom: The King issues a new law stripping non-ethnic Ukrainians of citizenship, and this brings an outcry from a large minority of the population. Some begin even rising up in arms, starting what is known as the Ethnic Revolutionary War. Ukrainian forces immediately begin battling the rebels back, forcing them to the southward into the Crimea and surrounding areas and other areas near Poland. The King states he can handle it on his own, but secretly asks Venice, Rome and the Russian nations for help, stating those nations' peoples will be allowed to retain their citizenship. Military is built up.
 * The Arabian Federation builds up its economy as the new regions are economically developed and integrated. The Sultan also expresses concern at Yemen being invaded and he fears the creation of a dangerous warzone so close to his borders. The Yemeni Sheikdoms of the south also see this as an opportunity to expand their own states at the expense of the crumbling Yemeni nation.
 * The Nasrid Sultanate sends an expedition to OTL Venezuela to found a colony there. Sultan Khalid decides to build more schools everywhere - mostly in Granada, but hoping to make some in Morocco, eventually. Cruzism continues to spread after the death of their founder.

The hub cities grow even more this year. Industry sees growth as some small factories are made in the colony, too. The Navy sees its new class of ships being constructed and delivered to it on time, and help to keep order in its waters. The NOC sees more profits after trading in Europe. A time of uneasy peace spreads across the front as due to the Raja's grief, the war is not pressed on with. Oudh continues to see mass conversions and the suppression of Muslims and many forced conversions into Hinduism and sends aid to the coalition. Bihar continues to try to undermine Buddhist teachings, although much more subtly by preaching to the Gurkahs. A slightly enlarge Kashmir is received from Tibet as the Orissans assisted the Chinese in crushing the nation. Orissa has always had a negative outlook on the nation since it began vassalising traditional Indian lands. Kashmir is made into a vassal, which will soon be added onto Bihar as soon as the rest of Delhi is captured.
 * Mataram has almost vassalised Negaha Daha. It continues talks with Sumedang about letting the country enter into a diplomatic union with a growing power (in its own right) in the area. More progress is made. More spices are grown in its territories, with many farmers moving to Sundabang where there are less people - to try to set up new lives.

Trading posts in Kongo become bigger and the local government is under the Netherlands influence.
 * Aceh is already Ethiopian. Doing this would lead to war. Same with Lanka - it's Scandinavian.
 * ​Acech is Ethiopian? In one turn? Really?
 * Ceylon is entirely Bengali/Scandinavian, you do not control any part of it.
 * ​Where is it written? In what year exactly did you start to vassalise Ceylon? Because I did since I started to play.
 * Aceh is not Ethiopian, just saying. Bengal has been exercising control over Lanka since before you began playing. So stop.
 * I'm just asking for the year... and also, you are ignoring Collie's post about Ceylon...
 * Yet he would still have more influence than you.

 * Persian Shah Suleiman I dies from old age. His eldest son, Ashraf, is crowned Shah of Persia. He intends to continue the great relationship his father had with the Kingdom of Rome and Levantine Kingdom. His first act is to establish the Universtiy of New Persepolis. It is located in the Capital City of New Persepolis, and is divided into two faculties - the Campus of Sciences, and the Campus of Arts. The Campus of Sciences is divided into the Schools of Animal Studies, Mathematics, Botany, Chemistry, and Astronomy. The Campus of Arts is divided into the Schools of History, the Classics, Painting, and Sculpture and Mosaics. Then, Ashraf grows the military, making up for lost soldiers in the recent Armenian campaign. The nation appears to be looking to annex Baghdad.

Change of plans, Ukraine went all crazy, and I miraculously found internets and found out...great excuse for war...Still, if I do not post tomorrow by midnight, AP can post for me continuing war. THe Russian Tsar, infuriated by the Ukrainian King's actions, and the gall he has to ask him to fight against his own people, siezes the oportunity to declare war on the Ukrainian rebel-state (please don't be angry at me, I was planning this for a while), made easy for Russia's official policy of non-recognition of all East-Slavic post-federation states. The Russian armies surge into the nation of Ukraine, and quickly besiege their capital of Kiev, relatively close to the borders. What will happen next, is difficult to decide.-Lx (leave me a message) 03:52, April 5, 2013 (UTC)

 * Bihar_now_(PMII).png Raja steadies himself and gets back into matters of national importance. A budding merchantile class finally blossoms as the population of merchants reaches 20% of the whole population of Orissa. More children attend schools and more children become indoctrinated in Orissa's teachings. Cebunese is learnt in large numbers.

Naya Mataram grows 1000 km onto the island the colony was established on. Cebu sees more Vedics in its country, and helps bolster its faith of Hinduism on the island. Many temples are built, and many brahmins go on to build ashrams (missionary schools) in the country, helping poor children get an education in language and religion. The SOC continues to gain money, with Venetian ports becoming huge markets for Orissan products.

Oudh continues to see mass conversions and the suppression of Muslims and many forced conversions into Hinduism and sends aid to the coalition. Bihar continues to try to undermine Buddhist teachings, although much more subtly by preaching to the Gurkahs. Troops from Kashmir continue to assist the Chinese in fighting off the Tibetians. The Raja begins to make plans for a memorial for his dead wife (I just captured Delhi, its the 17th century. Smart ones will see where this is going)...
 * Umm ... Mysore already owns that state you just took over, it's just not on the map yet.  JSYK.
 * That state is too big for Mysore to even vassalise. Look it up in the rules, there is nothing you can do about it (as in changing the rules).
 * Wrong again. It's not bigger than half of Mysore.
 * Mataram's_gain_(PMII).pngam vassalises Negaha Daha. It continues talks with Sumedang about letting the country enter into a diplomatic union with a growing power (in its own right) in the area.

1663
''' The Yugoslavs, with their new Venetian allies, begin the construction of a new capital in a protected area. The new capital, which is to be named Nikolagrad after the beloved Nikola I, is to be built in the heart of the Duchy of Bosnia to use the nation's territory as a shield. It is founded by combining several war-torn villages at the site, incuding one named "Tornik". NOTE: This is the TTL equivilent of Sarajevo.'''

''' Sumedang refuses to be subjugated by Mataram. '''

'''Ok, I negociate with a kingdom to enter a diplomatic union with me, its not allowed. When a power like Scandinavia does things like invade the Khmer Empire or do stuff with the Incas, no one says anything? The Khmer are one of the fiercest warrior nations on the planet at this time. And Scandinavia will just take them over?'''

'''This is in response to you consuming too many nations in a relatively small period of time. Besides no nation wants to just bow down and swear allegiance to another whenever they are offered the chance.'''

'''ONE nation conquered. ONE nation vassalised.'''

'''I swear the only argument for these events is "derp India wasn't powerful OTL so it shouldn't be powerful in TTL". You let Scandinavia expand like crazy and punish Orissa for every little thing. '''

Have to agree with him a bit on this one.

''' Punjab and the remaining Indian kingdoms form a defensive pact aimed at Orissan aggression and heavily build up their militaries (+16 for military in the next 15 years). '''

''' The xenophobic Ukrainian King is deposed, and the new King ceases the persecution of non-Ukrainian minorities. The new King Vladmir I moves the capital to the strategic seaport of Sevastopol, which had been the capital of the Crimean Sultanate under an Islamisized name. The new Ukrainian government signs a peace treaty with Russia, officially allowing the Russians to annex the northern quarter of Ukraine. '''

 * Somali Sultanate: Coastal Expansion (10,000 km northeast) and trading with near by countries continue.
 * The German Empire ends the succession crisis as the son of the dead Kaiser reveals himself to be alive. He takes back all of the Empire in his hands. Meanwhile, he orders the constructions of special monuments in Neu Berlin. The military and colonies expand (at normal rate for le colonies). Mysore nows continues to pressure Travancore, secretly killing off top government officials of the nation (Travancore). Also, Mysore has annexed the state right next to it and forced the one south of it into tributarization. Travancore is all that's left.
 * No resurrecting dead leaders. I want to nip this in the bud before we have a repeat of the sh*t that that one guy did in India during the last game.
 * My bad. I thought you wrote "the dead kaiser reveals himself to be alive".
 * The "state right next to you" is an Orissan vassal. The other one would probably be a Mysorian vassal as it is smaller than Mysore itself. 
 * Wrong. I did it before Orrissa. Look back in the 1650s.
 * The Nasrid Sultanate develops the economy and military. The Sultan, trying to promote religious tolerance, appoints Catholic and Cruzist officials in his court. Cruzism is much like OTL Protestantism except that it rejects the First Council of Nicaea. New Tunis expands by 2000 sq km. New Murrakus expands by 1000 sq km. New Ishbiliyya expands by 200 sq km.
 * The colony of Āphrikā Jamīna expands by 1000 km and Gāmbhīrya ōpha ā'īla expands onto a nearby island (OTL Madagascar) by 500 km. Bundela is merged with Rajputana proper. The military goes throught a modernization process.

They await orders to commence a long drive north towards Ayuttahya and Oudong.
 * The Saami expand into the Saami Peninsula (OTL Kola peninsula) and continue to incorporate the East Saami into their society.
 * Ethiopia expands the vassal of Adal 10,000 km into the southeast, and the vassal of Maynila 10,000 km to the north. The colony of Wärqama is expanded by 500 km, and the colony of Yäwah Wäjäb by 500 km along the coastline. The military and economy are expanded, and the development of the imperial capital to include recently developed technologies underway. The scientists of Ethiopia are sent to Orissa to continue their joint research projects. Ethiopia begins to extend its influence into Aceh, with powerful Ethiopian traders taking over vital sectors of the Acehese economy, and implanting themselves into the social fabric of Acehese society.
 * The Persian Shah, Arsuf, is considered an adequate leader by most Persians by the end of his first year in power. He is universally approved, but still not as popular as his father. While he considers building a new Royal Road, in an attempt to mimic himself as a great Persian king of old, he also expands the military, by large margins. The nation is thoroughly prepared for war with Baghdad, and its, relatively small, Caliphate. The Shah, while keeping it relatively unknown to the general populstion, has decided that he wants a series of wars with smaller neighboring states. At the same time, the economy continues to grow as a result of the prime location between Far East and the Great Sea of Europe.
 * Persian Diplomacy: Persian Shah Arsuf requests a military alliance with the Kingdom of Rome and Levantine Kingdom. Also, we wish to take sides in the raging Indian conflict. We propose the following deal to Orissa: We will send limited amount of troops, and we will eliminate export taxes for Orissan goods passing through Persia, while seizing all goods from Punjab and remaining Indian states.In exchange, we would like your full military support in invading and annexing the lands in OTL Afghanistan and Pakistan. For this agreement to work, we must gain 100% of the land currently hald by the states in those territories - we will not split it.
 * Persian Diplomacy: We request the two Persian Sheikdoms back from our friends over at the Arab Federation. They are important to the future expansion and trade growth of our nations.
 * Persian Trade: We are more than willing to make trade agreements with any nation in our region. Our goal is to provide a safe and effective, as well as rapid, land route through Central Asia, and the Mid-East. On average, the price which a product bought in the East, transferred through Persia, and then sold to the West only experiences a 20% price increase, allowing for maximum profits. If any East Asian, or Western nation, would like to make a trade agreement, we would be happy to do so, as we have done for 200 years now!
 * For the last time, you can't switch nations randomly. You can only change nations if it has been destroyed. Go back to playing as Cologne.
 * I would appreciate if the head-mod joined this conversation. I have already been told by Sine that he will take over my nations and wreak utter havoc if my wife and I (that is, King Hermann von Gunterin) do not cede the nation, and flee to the Balearic Island, to retire on Palma.


 * United Monarchy of Saxony, Hesse and Magdeburg: (I'm back) The Kassel-Dresden Highway is finally completed, and King-Duke Rupprecht II and his son officially open the road. It is hoped that the grand highway will become a popular route across central Europe for traders, and by the end of the year, many traders begin using it.
 * Primatial City of Magdeburg: An Aboriginal Priest based in the Saint Boniface Mission is kiled by some other aborigines as he was attempting to convert them. The Bishop of Australis immediately declares him a matyr, and sends to the Pope requesting he be made a saint.
 * The Arabian Federation builds up its military as the Sheiks of the Federation vote and the vote is in favour of the invasion of Yemen. Hence, the Sultan decides to invade Yemen to take advantage of the crumbling nation which has been weakened by the Ethiopian invasion. The Yemeni Sheikdoms of the south are the main leaders of the war effort though Shaybah's Emir also wishes to gain some more land at the expense of Yemen.
 * Australian Aborigines: The tribal leader of the Wiradjuri Aboriginal tribe of Australia sends emisarries to the tribes of Wongaibon, Wailwan, Kamilaroi, and Bigambu. These emisarries invite the tribe's leaders to a tribal gathering at Wiradjuri's capital of Wagga Wagga. Due to their close geographical proximity and their deep cultural ties as a result, all of the four tribal leaders are able to and decide to attend. Wiradjuri's tribe leader, Allunga, explains the reason for the gathering. He details his recent meetings with fair skinned aboriginies of a nearby tribe, who tell grand stories passed down by their fathers of groups far away with unrivalled technology, and their dark goals of expansion and extermination. The gathering is initially reluctent to believe such wild stories, but Allunga, who knew this disbelief would come, unveils a rusting metal cuiress and places it at the centre of the gathering. He explains how he sent a scout of his tribe to try and find the truth of these stories, and how he returned telling of a rotting settlement on the nearby coast long since abandoned, and how his scout found that cuiress covering the bones of one of the settlment's long dead inhabitents. Allunga stands and states that this danger could mean the end of their people, and that they should stand together to defend themselves. He proposes the creation of a union, the Koori Union, to be formed out of the lands and peoples of the five tribes in attendence. Stating how the union shall be led by the five tribe leaders in attendence, with one of them elected as Karmai, or leader of the union. The tribe leaders each contemplate their decision. Fear of the outsiders, cultural similarities between the tribes, the trust built up during times of allied conflict and the size and power of the Wiradjuri tribe, leads the tribal leaders to accept. The tribal leaders choose Allunga as Karmai, and then return to their lands to explain to their people this great change.
 * Venice rebuilds western Hungary having annexed all territories west of the Danube. Supplies are sent to Yugoslavia with heavy reconstruction in Bosnia. There are calls from the middle class to make university education more readily avaliable and the King, a very educated man, argees to this. The King begins the construction of several universities across Venetian cities with every city with over 100,000 inhabitants to now host a university. Smaller towns have smaller education centres to teach townschildren how to read. Wealthier townsfolk are also taught to write. Venice expands Nuovo Treviso and Nuovo Venexia by 2100 sq km each. Malacca and Nya Gyptios expand by 5000 sq km each.
 * York: The economy and population grow. The Yorkish Navy is founded as well, bringing an influx of volunteers into the armed forces. King Ron is injured during a hunting trip, accidently stepping into two bear traps in under an hour.
 * Normandy: The Breton Census takes place. The population of Brittany reaches 620,000. The population of Normandy booms to 960,000, due to Welsh, and now French immigrants. Queen JeAnne has twins. A boy and a girl, named Alexandre and Elisabeth, respectively. They are also named the Prince of Cherbourg and the Princess of Neustrie. In December, William V names Albert as heir to the throne.
 * Orissa_(PMII).png merchants become successful. This leads to some more spending in bazars and more money made. More children also go to schools and a few more are made in the country. Cebunese is learnt in large numbers along with Ethiopian. German is also taken quite a lot. Naya Mataram grows 1000 km onto the island the colony was established on. Cebu sees more Vedics in its country, and helps bolster its faith of Hinduism on the island. Many temples are built, and many brahmins go on to build ashrams (missionary schools) in the country, helping poor children get an education in language and religion. The SOC continues to gain money, with Venetian ports becoming huge markets for Orissan products. The hub cities grow even more this year. Industry sees growth as some small factories are made in the colony, too. The Navy sees its new class of ships being constructed and delivered to it on time, and help to keep order in its waters. The NOC sees more profits after trading in Europe. Oudh continues to see mass conversions and the suppression of Muslims and many forced conversions into Hinduism and sends aid to the coalition. With Dehli captured, this goes into overgear. The amount of anti-Muslim propaganda pumped in and the number of anti-Muslim business laws reach a new high. Thousands of Muslim merchants suddenly find themselves out of business. Thousands more are suddenly unemployed. Many Muslims are forced to move into ghettos around Bihar and Orissa. Many Hindus move into their place as properties are seized from Muslims and given to Hindus. In dark alleyways and shabby ghettos, a plan of Muslim rebellion takes shape. Too long have Muslims suffered under Hindus and it was time to bring India back to the ways of Bengal and the Caliphate. Bihar continues to try to undermine Buddhist teachings, although much more subtly by preaching to the Gurkahs. The country of Kashmir captured from Tibet is added onto Bihar. The Raja orders a building of magnificant splendeur to be designed and made in Agra to honour his dead wife.
 * Mataram continues talks with Sumedang about letting the country enter into a diplomatic union with a growing power (in its own right) in the area. More progress is made. More spices are grown in its territories, with many farmers moving to Sundabang where there are less people - to try to set up new lives. Vedic Hinduism conversion also takes place. Lampung is added onto Mataram as divided into smaller provinces. Huge migration between its territories continues, and many decide to move to Negara Daha or Sundabang and visa versa.
 * Russia and the ethnic revolutino succeed. Kiev is captured, and the old king is deposed, and a new king signs the peace treaty with Russia(the one mentioned in the mod event). IN any case, Kanada expands 4000 sq km and Russian Linen industry grows.

The military and economy are expanded, and the development of Hindi as a secondary language begins to spread across the empire are trade relations with Orissa continue to grow stronger. The Ethiopian researchers and scientists in Orissa begin working with their compatriots in the nation to develop new ideas and creations.
 * I'm not entirely sure of Hindi emerging as a secondary language - especially seeing how Amharic and Oromo are both really common. Not to mention all the other languages of the various ethnicities within your empire. Fair enough it becomes more popular but certainly not a secondary language of your empire.
 * The Ethiopians only every speak their own languages, with a few learning Amharic to get around. Oromo is the second-largest langauge, but very few people in that group speak another language. Thus, Hindi is growing as a second language as the other ethnic groups are learning it rather than those spoken by the smaller groups making up the Ethiopian population. Remember, Amharic is the official language. All others are ethnic languages that are more often than not ignored by members of the other ethnic groups.
