Expansion of the colonies continues, with factories being built in some of the major colonial cities, of which most of these so called cities are really just medium-large towns. The Negro Exportation Bill is passed in Congress, aouthorizing the import of slaves from US African colonies and there being soled to the CSA as long as none remain in the United States. Lincoln wins an astounding landslide victory even though he lost the civil war, but due to his quick victory over Mexico and keeping CS expansion into Mexico from occuring, vigorious expansion overseas, and bringing much wealth, markets, and power to the United States, he is reenaugerated with great ceremony. The Republicans soon take over 4/5's of Congress in the Congressional elections, leaving the Democrats with little say in the progress of the nation, and due to this, the Democrats become a soley border state party except in the region around Washington DC.

Alliances are also offered to Japan and Prussia even if they do not join the WEC, which would be a great misfortune.


 * United Kingdom: The UK continues to expand its Indian colonies. Talks of unification between the Canadian colonies grow stronger, mostly because of the actions seen by the US invading (and conquering) Mexico, however Quebecers aren't as eager to unify with the English colonies. They propose a referendum for the colony to decide if they should join Confederation.

 * US Diplomacy: After permission is given by Portugal, 50,000 US troops and 12 ironclad war frigates are sent to Portugal to help in the conquest of Spain, of which after it is conquered, all of the Spanish Empire will become the Portugese Empire.

The chilean troops continue his march to Buenos Aires, which will be reached in December. The national military industry is increase during the conflict, and the government order bring from north america and europe more experts. Chile accept the alliance with the US.
 * Folks, just another thing about map games: the idea is that you only make ONE move a day. Your supposed to give other people, who aren't on all day, everyday, a chance to react to your moves. I always got the impression that Map Games were like Civilization, Risk and/or Axis & Allies: you make moves in your turn, then wait for everyone else to make their moves, then you start the next turn. I'm not trying to sound like a grumpy old guy, and I'm not going to name names this time, but PLEASE FOLLOW MAP GAME RULES, or at least let people know that those RULES HAVE CHANGED. Lieut. Tbguy1992: Profile; Talk 17:57, October 29, 2011 (UTC)
 * I agree with this, from now on, only one turn per, well turn, except for diplomacy, which will be your nations name then Diplomacy. This turn stays as it is, single posts per turn besides diplomacy after this will either be merged or deleted. DeanSims 18:01, October 29, 2011 (UTC)

'''The remainder of the Indian States agree to unite and fight against further colonization by Britain and the United States, creating the Indian Empire. If further colonization or expansion occurs by these two countries without Indian consent, war will begin.''' {C


 * 1865.pngThe United States of America: The Allied Nations of Earth, consisting of the USA, Ethiopia, the Iberian Empire, Chile, and Austria, sets up its permanent site for the newly created ANE War Council while the WEC, consisting of the same nations, has the the WEC Trade and Economic Council, is set up in New York City. The colonies continue to grow, with the two Indian colonies being expanded by force and increased settling, pushing much deeper into India and connecting the two US Indian Colonies. The Indian Empire demands that it stop, and the US agrees on the terms that it can keep the new territory, which is accepted. US aid to the Empire begins at full speed to bring it economically and militarily to its feet. Feeling that the people of former Mexico actualy do not like being in the USA, plebiscites are allowed with the choice to either stay American or join the CSA. Most of Central Mexico votes to join the CSA, and the plebiscites are respected, ceding the pro-CS states to the Confederacy. The USA asks that western Arizona territory be given to the USA for obvious defense reasons in exchange for all of the pro-CS Mexican States.
 * Iberian Empire: Iberian Empire's leader, Franco, asks Maroccian citizens, if they agree, that Marocco would be connected to Iberian Empire, if it would raise the salary of people, working there. The citizens agreed after the voting, which took one month.
 * United Kingdom: Quebec holds referendum, and the outcome overwhelmingly sides with Quebec not joining Confederation (73% to abstain, 26% to join, 1% not counted.) The UK respects their wishes and decides to keep each colony as 3 British dominions (Ontario, Quebec and Acadia). Also, they grow their Indian colonies at a fast rate and the African colonies at a slower rate. British South Africa annexes a small portion of the Orange Free State. Meanwhile, Australia, noticing the recent Japanese expansion into New Guinea, decide to begin colonizing part of the lower area.
 * US Diplomacy: India can no longer be expanded into to, or else India will attack you. The USA will help defend India.
 * German Confederation: Fearing the power of the American Alliance, Prussia agrees to join with the Russian Grand Alliance. However, this is on the condition that Prussia be allowed to unify the Northern German states into one government, the basis of which has already been started with the Economics Union.
 * Russian Empire: Russia holdheartedly agrees, and will not stand in the way of the German Unification. In addition, Tsar Alexander III oversees the finishing of work on the railroads, with sufficient access to Siberia from Moscow and Saint Petersberg achieved. 300,000 Russian soldiers are sent to aid the Indians in repelling the Americans and British, as well as 3,000 advisors are sent to India to teach them modern European tactics.
 * Chile: The Battle of Buenos Aires ended with the capitulation of the city and the argentinean president Bartolome Mitre signing the surrender a couple of weeks later. The peace treaty establish that Chile annexes the provinces of Mendoza, San Juan, La Rioja, San Luis and Catamarca. Chile not recieves any monetary compensation. After the war, the Perez's goverment began the construction of a new and modern railroad which will connect to the country with the new territories.
 * Japan: expands their New Guinea holdings and annexes the island of Palau. Japan agrees to the US military alliance but refuses to goin the WEC or Allied Nations feeling they take away Japans independance.
 * France: iniciate a expansion process in Africa, sending troops to occupy new lands. The emperor also offers an alliance to Chile and the USA.
 * Would you mind using this basemap so the mapmakers know where the new French colonies are located?
 * French_Africa_Map_(Fractured_America).pngan Empire: After its citizens agreed, Iberian empire has connected Marocco. The leader of Morocco has peacefully agreed to connect the lands, but with one condition - Maroccian leader will have influence on Iberian government and will take part in votings. Franco, Iberian Empire's leader, agreed to this condition, and Marocco is connected to Iberian Empire straight away. Professor Perbundo, living in the northern Spain, calls this action a "Totalitarianic" action, because of "Total Economy", which Iberian Empire seeks to receive. Franco, on behalf of citizens of Iberian Empire, said: "Do not fear, my people. This is not a war yet. And we're not planning on starting one soon. Remember, that the bigger we are, the more money we will earn. Territory is not the thing. The thing is the money used in that territory, to make the economic stable. If you have any objections to this empire, then leave it. We have open-door policy."

1865.5
'''Horrified at the British and their continuation to expand into Indian lands, an all out war is delcared by India and attacks begin on the British/Indian frontier to stop the expansion. India asks for US and Russian help. The UK is also notifried that all land annexed before this turn can be kept, as the USA was allowed to keep there from before as well.'''


 * United Kingdom: The UK issues an apology to India, and assures them they will give them back their land annexed in eastern India. They send 50,000 troops to keep the peace at the border of India and US India. Also, the division of the three North American colonies (Ontario, Quebec and Acadia) is complete, and becomes official after Queen Victoria's Canada Act of 1865. But this act of dividing instead of uniting the colonies worries the UK, as it's possible that Australia will stay divided instead of uniting. (more to come.)
 * Kingdom of the Netherlands: The Netherlands offers the Boer states in South Africa a chance to enter the Kingdom of the Netherlands as equal states in the Kingdom of the Netherlands. The Kingdom of the Netherlands is reformed and the countries of the Netherlands (Europe), the South Antilles of the Netherlands (Aruba, Bonaire, & Curaçao), the North Antilles of the Netherlands (Saba & Sint Eustatius), Sint Maarten, Transvaal, Orange Free State, and Natalia. The Dutch East indies & Suriname however remain colonies of the Kingdom of the Netherlands, and the colonization of Sumatra continues too.

PS I will play until I have to go.
 * United States of America: An alliance is offered to India and 200,000 troops are put on the US-Britsh border between UK Quebec and the USA, and the UK is asked to give Quebec a vote on true independance. War is not wanted with the UK, only the true independance and freedom of Quebec, the rest of Canada can remain British till Doomsday, only the indepp[endance and the will of the Quebecious people is wanted. The United States succesfully lays the first telegraph ine across the Atlantic Ocean and connects it with its West Africa colony, which is then connected to Europe and then to the US India colony, and orders for US Colonial forces to mobilize is given. Railways are begun in US India and in Africa to connect the US Colonies there.
 * UK Diplomacy: The UK denies the US's attempt to make Quebec independent. They say that Quebec will only become independent if they ask for it themselves.

 * UK Diplomacy: The British question the amount of troops placed on the border of Quebec and the US as to why they want Quebec independent.

And remember, the USA has 5 allies, you have one. You will face war on several fronts, especialy India and Canada.
 * UK Diplomacy: Which "Canada" are you thinking of conquering? But besides that, the UK quickly unites the colonies into one Confederation, realizing the possibility of an American takeover. The UK issues 50,000 troops along with 100,000 troops from Ontario, 125,000 troops from Quebec, and 75,000 troops from Acadia, 75,000 troops from Australia and New Zealand and 25,000 troops from British Raj to hold back the US troops. Also, the British accept the French's offer for a mutual protection policy as long as they help stop the invasion of the North American colonies.
 * US Diplomacy: It will take at least another turn for you to get all of your troops from your other colonies and then another to get your troops in place. The USA invades Canada while the UK is still mobilzing and easily begins to take territory. American India is given to India as a gift.
 * UK Diplomacy: It'll take a year to mobilize troops from other colonies? I doubt that. But I have enough Canadian troops on the Ontarian border to keep the peace. The UK, not willing to spend more money on a war after the, offers the US a peace treaty; divide Ontario into two and give part of it to the US and split Quebec in half, the one part being independent.
 * US Dipomacy: The treaty is accpepted and US troops begin to pull ouy of Britsh territory while Quebec is recognized and made a US protectorate which is also fully independent. MAKE A MAP PLEASE.
 * UK Diplomacy: The British agree to the US's wishes. The map is done.

 * You could split Oman into 4, with each colonial power (Netherlands, China, Sweden-Norway and Ethiopia) could colonize the area.
 * Oman is a Dutch protectorate, and is as far as the Dutch will go in Arabia for that matter, so you have the Netherland's grace to go and colonize other parts of Arabia like OTL UAE, Qatar, etc. Note when I say Oman I mean OTL Oman in Arabia, I think the land Sweden has / what you guys think is Oman (as in East Africa) is actually Swahili lands. But then again it might be Omanise colonies :P. Well that's the way I am interpreting the matter anyways: VonGlusenburg  (talk to Von!) 12:25, November 3, 2011 (UTC).
 * I doubt a whole colony can't just be taken over like that, especially since you have other Dutch colonies to worry about. But whatever. Also, I gave Sweden-Norway only part of African Oman, and the rest will have to be colonized later.
 * I never said I was taking over Oman, it is simply a protectorate. Also if we're saying that land in OTL Tanazinia is Oman colonies, then the Netherlands & Sweden have an issue, Sweden is attacking my protectorate's colonies >:( Diplomacy is gonna be needed here. Maybe Sweden buys the Southern half of Oman Africa? Invading it is gonna cause a war otherwise... VonGlusenburg  (talk to Von!) 20:49, November 3, 2011 (UTC).
 * NVM just did my researching & it turns out that place is actually the Sultanate of Zanzibar who split from Oman in 1856. So its not Oman when you invaded Sweden, you attacked Zanzibar so the Netherlands are fine with that! :D VonGlusenburg (talk to Von!) 12:59, November 4, 2011 (UTC).

 * Iberian response: "Canada is none of your concern, why would you need it anyways? It's over five thousand kilometers away from your homeland.

I suggest you stop offensive and defensive actions in North America, unless you still have a VALID reason."
 * UK response: "...Canada is a British colony, and an attack on any British colony is an attack on the British. Our actions in trying to protect our own soil is not offensive and it certainly is defensive. It's like a US attack on Morocco."

Expansion continues in Indochina, with more of Burma being taken over and it is predicted that a third of Burma will be Hind territory by the end of the year.
 * Netherlands: Gold is discovered in Transvaal and causes colonial expansion north west of Transvaal to start in order to find more gold deposits.

The Dutch economy expands rapidly with the expansion of these two new Dutch industries.
 * United Kingdom: The UK expands the African colonies and thinks of buying the small Iberian colony in West Africa (OTL Guinea-Bissau), but no request is made yet.

 * The Kingdom of the Netherlands: The Dutch African colonies expand a lot more thanks to the expanding Dutch economy.
 * Dutch Diplomacy: What is this Danish map what the Swedish are on about for the partition of Africa? I haven't seen anything & the Dutch won't agree with it until we see it!
 * I (Chris) put it because of this post that was there in 1868.5, i think:
 * "Sweden-Norway: The swedsih governement establishes another protectorate on the only lands not colonized on the african coast, this one is declared norway's colony."
 * That was generally the only uncolonized portion and naturally I put it there. If I'm wrong I'll get rid of it.
 * I meant more so concerning if an agreement on how to divide all of Africa up had been made with out the consent of the Dutch VonGlusenburg  (talk to Von!) 17:06, November 11, 2011 (UTC).


 * Empire of Brazil: The Brazilian people use their new general election to elect on the Brazilian Social Democratic Party, who promises to amend the constitution to benefit the masses.

Railroads continue to be built, mainly in Indochina and the Afgan region.
 * Ethiopian Empire: The Ethiopian Empire begins moving towards Kenya's unconquered border with Sudan.

 * China stabilizes its control over the new Pacific territory which it has gained. They realize that Britain no longer controls Canada, so they cease to expand into the Yukon area, apologizing to the Canadians for the misunderstanding. However, many Chinese settlers illegally begin travelling into the mountains looking for gold, despite the colonial government attempting to stop them. This isn't the Qing government's first failure recently. The old Chinese whisper that the Mandate of Heaven may be slipping through their fingers...
 * Bulgaria: begins a massive rebellion against the Muslim Ottomans throughout OTL Bulgaria and Macedonia that they have been planing for almost a decade.
 * Iberian Empire continues to expand to the south. Due to the lack of infrastructure, many Iberian soldiers and resistance fighters are fighting badly and dying.

The Cocos islands and Christmas Island in the Indian Ocean are also taken over by the Dutch. These small islands have small port towns built on them, to be used as coaling stops along the Dutch Sea Route to the East Indies and South African Dutch territories. This action not only improves the Dutch's naval power but it also improves the trade routes which boost the economy.
 * So still what is this Danish division of Africa? The Netherlands haven't agreed to any division of Africa... VonGlusenburg  (talk to Von!) 17:24, November 11, 2011 (UTC).
 * You did mention a few turns back: "NVM just did my researching & it turns out that place is actually the Sultanate of Zanzibar who split from Oman in 1856. So its not Oman when you invaded Sweden, you attacked Zanzibar so the Netherlands are fine with that! :D" So since you changed your mind now, you'll have to talk with the Swedish player about it.
 * No no, I'm fine with the Swedish colony after taking over Zanzibar and expanding, I mean more of a complete division of Africa. Like you've all agreed on how all of Africa will be split up between the colonial powers, VonGlusenburg  (talk to Von!) 13:25, November 12, 2011 (UTC).'
 * No one's agreed to it (from what I read) except for Sweden-Norway, but my argument is still valid; we can't just assume colonies like that, especially when some colonies get less land than others. We'll have to continue our colonization until the nations meet up (and of course at a moderate rate.)
 * Empire of Hind-Bharat: The last resistance is crushed and Persia is now conquered. Hind Persia is incorperated into the Empire, with the Persian army being merged with the Hind forces.

As such, more railroad construction begins, helping further the industrialization of the nation.
 * Republic of Persia: Following its defeat and revolution, Persia begins holding free elections, whereby all landowning males can partake in voting for the elected Sultan. The elections are, however, a sham, and the elected men are merely figureheads for Russian rulers, who begin to modernize Persia. In addition, Persia would like to take out a sum of 10 million USD from any nation willing to be so charitable to jumpstart an oil drilling operation; in return, should the oil drilling bear fruit, the loaning nation would recieve twice its investment in oil profits.
 * United Kingdom: The UK grows their colonies in Africa. Queen Victoria also thinks Parliament should begin speaking with other nations in Europe about Greece's future.

Queen Victoria also announces that a European Conference will be held in London, England for all European nations and others (US, CSA, India, Russia, etc.) to discuss the futures of Mexico, Quebec, Serbia, Greece and possibly Persia.

 * China currently is on the verge of having a civil war. The Nationalist groups among the minorities have ceased vast quantities of territories, and the ethnic Chinese are angry at the Qing government for other reasons. However, the Qing are still in control for now, thanks to the military's support. Should the military turn against them, the dynasty would fall within a month. The Qing, desperate for a way to attract national attention away from the growing crisis, offers to buy the southern areas of the island of Sakhalin that the Japanese control.
 * Japan: continues to build up its navy and cavalry and refuses to sell its portion of Sakhalin on the grounds that many ethnic Japanese have relocated to the area. Japanese factories are built in Japanese New Guinea near the city of port Meiji

The Confucianist Buddhist Liu-Tao asks what is the state of Buddhists within the Hind-Barat Federation
 * Hind Diplomacy: Buddhists are treated fairly and have full rights as a citizen of the Federation. Buddhists can visit Buddhist shrines in China and visa versa.

 * IQC Diplomacy: Emperor Liu-Tao is pleased that Buddhists are well treated in Hind-Barat. He states that there is freedom of religion in the confederacy. However, he is suspcicious about organizations between temples, churches, mosques, etc. and seeks to have all places of worship be either independent and not affliated with any others, or in one organization (aka, one association of Daoist Temples, one association of Buddhist temples, etc, and if they don't want to be part of the organization, then they are totally independent). There are many Muslims in the eastern parts of the confederacy, however, there are few Hindus, although the number has grown slightly recently.

1874.5

 * IQC: Emperor Liu-Tao has become worried. There are many Muslims and Christians in his nation, and they may have loyalty to other nations than the IQC, and different values than the traditional Chinese values. However, he doesn't want to totally destroy freedom of religion. Therefore, the Emperor makes an edict: no church or mosque is to be part of any organization, except for the official one. The official organizations are the United Mosques of Confucian Muslims and the Confucian Christian Church. These blend Confucian ideals into the theology of Islam and Christianity. Churches and mosques can remain independent from these organizations, but they can't join any new organizations, just a single independent church.
 * Iberian Empire extends more to the south and begins massive recruitment again, raising the army of iron clads, elite troops and others.
 * German Empire: Tensions that were suddenly sparked between Germany and France finally came to a head in late August, when a French army brigade shot upon peaceful protesters asking that Alsace-Lorraine join Germany.

It is said it will take around 0.5 years more to completetly colonize Burma and railroad construction in Burma is given priority, with around 2/3 of Burma Hind territory and bordering the Quan Confederacy. The construction of the battleships is well under way and should be completed on schedule. Some will be offered when they are complete to Hind-Bharat's allies. A campaign is started to sent Hind-Bharatis to Australia and South Africa as well as the West Indies to help in the construction of the colonies.
 * Quebec: Decide to build roads in the country.
 * Russian Empire: The Tsar is outraged that France could provoke such a peaceful nation such as Germany to war, and because the German Empire is a fellow member of the Grand Alliance, the Tsar will intervene. Work on the railroads stops, and work on the ironclads is heavily stymied, as the army is raised to a million men strong, placed in the hands of the Tsar's most cabale generals, and sent to Germany to defeat the French meanace. Secondly, with the number of Ironcalds reaching about 190, the Tsar drafts enough men into the Russian Navy to utilize the ships, and they set sail from Persian ports, bound for French ports, hoping to starve the nation of any outside help. They will be passing through the Suez canal, and the Tsar states that either the ships will move through freely, or a war with the Ottomans will begin as well.
 * Hind Diplomacy: Troops are mobilized and the Tsar is asked whether he wants Hind troops to accompany the attack on France. The 300,000 Russians are readined with the rest of the Hind army.
 * Russian Diplomacy: The Tsar agrees to Hindi help on the issue, and allows them use Russian supply lines while in France.
 * Republic of Persia: Thus far work on the internal combustion engine prove fruitless. Russian ironcalds are launched from Persian ports, though Persia itself is at this time neutral in the affair.
 * The United States of America: The USA increases troop levels in Africa to over 100,000, and due to the rapid adavancments of troops and the failures of anyone to add to its colonies on the map, the colonies triple in size. Thee USA offers the Dutch a deal in which they will recieve Liberia, 32 million World Dollars, and a naval base in Hawaii and Indonesia in return for the Dutch colony next to US Madagascar. The USA declares war on the Central American States and easily conquers them (I need an algorithim please), and they are annexed. The USA declares war on Peru and Ecuador and lands troops on there Pacific Coasts due to imperialistic motives and evidence of the current regimes brutalities against there populations. Hawaii joins the Union while the Indonesian Colony becomes a US state and joins the Union. I NEED AN ALGORITHM PLEASE
 * Please look at rule 8. You can't expand that much in less than half a year. I'll grow it a little larger than usual since you haven't had a turn in a little while but my point remains. Also, you can't determine if you've won the war with Central America, so you can't say you've annexed them all yet. I'll have to revert the map for now. ChrisL123
 * Yeah, the US has been really implausible this whole map game, really, but now its more ridiculous than ever
 * I think I created rule 8, :/ It works though!! :D [[Image:1.png|23px]] Imperium Guy
 * Can mods please take action to stop this implausibility, its not fair on the other players; VonGlusenburg  (talk to Von!) 11:52, November 19, 2011 (UTC).
 * United Kingdom: The UK grows their colonies as always. The UK government prepares the military to deploy ships and men to help the Central American states and request that other countries do the same. The Queen mentions, "[the Central American states] didn't do anything to the United States, and the war doesn't seem to have a purpose. A military intervention is required, or else Central America will suffer the same fate as Mexico."
 * IQC Diplomacy: The Imperial Quan Confederacy will sell supplies to the UK or the Central American States, due to the IQC needing money.

 * German Empire: With help from her Allies Russia, the Netherlands and Hind-Bahrat, Germany plans a major attack to end the war, marching on the fortresses of Verdun and Sedan. The French Armies are devastated in battle, and are routed, and German troops advance quickly to Paris, laying siege to the capital. However, the French government refuses to negotiate, and since German forces are overstretched and exhausted, no attack on Paris itself is attempted.
 * German Diplomacy: Germany asks Russia if we can buy thirty six ironclads for coastal defense, and will offer brand new artillery and small weapon's that are just being designed in return.
 * Chile: The Husares de la Muerte squad eliminate the principal bases from the rebels groups in Mendoza, but a last group try to escape to Argentina.

Railroad connection with the Chinese is started. The construction of the battleships is well under way and should be completed on schedule.

A campaign started to sent Hind-Bharatis to Australia and South Africa as well as the West Indies to help in the construction of the colonies continues.
 * The Kingdom of the Netherlands: French Saint Marten falls to the larger Dutch forces, as does French Saint-Barthelemy. French Guiana is practically conquered, minus the colony's capital of Cayenne, and some of the east of the colony.

Whereas in France proper, the Dutch continue to slowly advance; Lille is taken but there is still tough French resistance. (I'll do the algorithm for Germany & Netherlands V.S France soon just to back this all up)
 * Iberian empire is also supporting you.
 * As in supporting or in the actual war? Regardless just the Dutch or Germans by themselves won against France, so it doesn't make too much difference to the algorithm.
 * The United States of America: The USA declares war on France in support of its Iberian Ally, and since troops levels in Africa are high to increase colonization, US troops invade southern French Algeria while other French colonies are simultaneously attacked by US forces and bombarded by the Navy. The colony near Liberia is easily conquered while the colony north of US Nambia is taken as well. The colony between the Dutch and Iberian colonies is also attacked, but tougher resistance forces US troops to battle it out for several months. None are annexed, but US troops begin to arrive quickly in the American African colonies to help in the war. Plans for the annexation of Quebec are approved by Congress and a plebiscite is set for next turn. The USA tells the UK to back or face war. The US African colonies will be given to countries who help the USA if war with Britain occurs and declare war on the UK, as the days of Britain's global empire is coming to an abrupt end, and that the UK is just a big bag of wind, stating that before the USA even dealt any damage, the UK gave up territory to the USA and begged for peace.
