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.

1750

 * Portugal, León, Castille, Aragon, Navarra and Granada's economies improve. Meanwhile in Portugal, Urraca, Pedro José de Lara's daughter born in 1749, dies. Meanwhile in Portugal, Nuno II dies and is succeeded by his son José, who is crowned as "By the Grace of God, José I, Emperor of Spain, King of Portugal, Galicia, Algarve, of either side of the sea in Africa, Prince of Brasil, Duke of Viseu and Ferrol, and Lord of Guiné, of either side of the Rio da Prata, and of Commerce, Navigation of Conquest on India".  After his ascension, José appoints Sebastião José de Carvalho e Melo as Secretary of the State of the Kingdom.

 * Reiches Großraum Bayern:Bavarian Carthage and Cyrenaica expand 5000 sq km south and 5000 West for Carthage and 5000 East for Cyrenaica. Chemistry continues to expand as the blank areas of the table of the elements is filled in as more Universities explore the chemical properties of the known world.  The Weltzeituhr newspaper continues to print in record numbers. Wissenschaft Heute (Science Today) continues to outline the exciting new innovations and discoveries of the scientific community. All Bavarian militaries expand. The Royal Academy of Sciences expands its research to include the study of human anatomy, Scientists at the University of Munchen thank Italia for the joint scientific venture.  Israel Edinsonn's bifocal glasses grow in popularity due to their ease of use. The arts flourish as several grand operas are performed at the National Day, the day in which Bavaria represents its independence from foreign influence. Alliance offers are extended toward China and Wales.
 * Bavarian Indonesia: Governor Willems oversees the expansion of the newly formed Bavarian Eastern Fleet, a large naval body formed to protect Bavarian interests in Asia. The Indonesian Reichrat orders the compulsary attendance of all children aged 11-17 into preparatory schools. The first German university is founded in Indonesia, the University of Java.  Neu Munchen in Western Australis expands 10,000 sq km south along the coast. Neu Munchen also becomes the headquarters and capital of the planned Territories of West Australis . Governor Willems appoints Adam Shmidt as provisionary Governor of Neu Munchen.
 * I assume you mean West Australis, unless you were planning to take over Italian Australis.

 * Crete expands its economy.
 * Cyrenaica expands 10,000 sq km into the desert.
 * Myanmar: Myanmar Afrika expands by 1000 sq km. Myanmar Oceania expands by 1000 sq km. Urbanization continues using the lumber in Northern Myanmar. The tenth improved wooden sawmill is built in Northern Myanmar, with a production of 100 kg lumber daily. The 16th and 18th iron mills are built in Southern Myanmar. Order Success and Failure is now a top hit in Myanmar, after mastering printing, learned from the Chinese and Germans.
 * The first iron mills came out in the next century OTL...
 * UMSHM: A great celebration occurs as Germany is welcomed into the German Union. The King-Duke invites all of Saxony's notables to a great feast and ball, followed by a fantastic fireworks display. The Kassel university continues its focus on the elements and astronomy (By the way, is it okay if Saxons discover Uranus at the time Herschel did OTL? We haven't had any discoveries to call our own yet). The army and navy is improved. In the colonies: education continues to grow in Saxon West Africa, and the colony expands inland along the (Cypriot?) colony to the North. In Khmer  Koch, trade with Orissa increases, and a small Indochinese regiment is raised. In Australis, the Governor, in talks with his Italian counterpart, asks that the border between the Saxon and Italian "zones of interest" be the OTL Roper River, known henceforth as the Grenzenflusse (border river). Saint Boniface expands towards Saint Thomas.
 * Could you please go back to adding numbers for your colonial expansion?
 * Confederation of the Rhine: The turnpike trusts continue to have a positive effect on the roads, and education standards continue to improve; for the rich and middle classes, at least. Rhinish Gabon expands West to cope with the many settlers who arrive.
 * Primatial Magdeburg: After many years of hard effort, the Bishop of the East Indies baptises the ruler of the Aru Islands as a Catholic. As a result, non-Catholics are dismissed from the Aru royal court, and high-ranking (Saxon) clergymen replace them.
 * Wales continues to grow its economy and build a stronger military. Population continues to grow. Welsh emissaries continue to be sent to the Chono people. Vassalization is now a deep consideration of the Chief, who is envious of the now wealthy Selk'nam and largely attributes it to Wales. Rafael goes back to the Haruwin and completes a masoleum.
 * England, Scotland, Belfast, Cork, and Brittany  grow their militaries and economies. Population growing policies remain in place, and Welsh culture continues to make a lot of progress in its continued spread. Meanwhile in Belfast, the King decides to press his claim to the throne of Cork. He begins to make some progress down the coast of Leinster, and nears Dublin. The WTC oversees the expansion of De Mor Tir 3000 sq km, as Tulpung yr Aber also grows 3000 sq km.  The  Welsh Royal Coast  and  Morocco  grow their economies and militaries.  New South Wales  grows its economy and military, as Maori Catholicism continues to spread. Missionary activity in Welsh regions stops since all the nations are now Catholic.


 * ​ Hey all - could someone on the mod squad let me know whether I'm authorized to post for Rex in his absence, he asked me but I know I'm not a mod so I'm asking for indulgences or writs of replevin or whatever it is I need to ask for in this timeline. I posted this one because Rex wrote it himself as a starter. Thanks. Commandante Lemming (talk) 14:47, July 2, 2013 (UTC)
 * He's blocked, so I assume that it's not allowed, as per the Kunarian precedent. ~ S
 * Oh - I missed that piece of the story. Darn, and I was all ready to have my way with a great power for a few turns. :-P Oh well. Commandante Lemming (talk) 20:20, July 2, 2013 (UTC)


 * Italia continues to expand its military. Urbanization continues in Southern and Western Italia at a rapid pace while the city of Venice continues its decline in the face of Western port cities like Naples, Palermo and Genoa. Large scale use of the waterwheel continues to occur in the Italian heartlands - especially around Florence. Scientists from across Europe flock to witness the almost constant public demostrations and experiments at the University of Venice in the field of chemistry. Meanwhile, the University of Milan and the University of Istria continue to lead in the study of human anatomy with near daily dissections much to the displeasure of the local populace. Italia and its subject nations continue to experience a declining death rate as a result of greater understanding of how the human body works. Aymara and Nya Gyptios expand at 10,000 sq km inland while Nuovo Brescia expands by 8500 sq km along the coastline of Northern Australia. Nuovo Brescia asks the boundary to be shifted a little farther southeast to the Limmen Bight River.
 * Yugoslavia, Greece and Siam continue to expand their economies. Padang and Malacca continue to upgrade their navies.
 * Russia expands its yearly budget to the Science Academy. The University of Novgorod begins new studies on the human body, to update the textbooks and information written in the latter half of the 15th century ... in Russia,. anyway, The University of Novgorod and University of Kiev send out requests for joint studies in the human body both with Germany of the University of Venice. More people flock to cities and towns to look for work, and the Science Academy uses their resources to do more chemical work. Meanwhile, A young academic, Lev Karabav, proposes a standard, decimal, unit of measurment, the meter, one ten millionth the distance between the North Pole and the Equator. Many academics seem to agree that it would be rather simpler than the traditional system, but many are unable to abandon tradition.
 * Korea: The military is built up and we send 100 jade dining sets to the rulers of China and Italia.
 * Karika: We expand 10,000 km squared and build up military.
 * All the Germanic states expand their militaries. We join the Germanic Union. Neu Berlin expands 4500 sq km along the French colony and Vinland expands 4500 sq km southwest toward Neu Berlin. All vassals, etc, expand economy and Chimu expands 10,000 sq km north. Orientalia asks to buy the head of main island from China. Better relations with Myanmar are pursued.
 * The Great Haruwin of the Selk’nam: The military and economy continue to be built up. Great Chief Cornelius Tuch’huelpe, having been on the throne for 35 years, takes ill with a stomach infection in February and succumbs two months later at the age of 73. Cornelius is mourned throughout the land, and poets declare “David birthed the Haruwin, but Cornelius brought it to manhood!” Word is sent to Rafael in Wales, asking him to send back designs for a mausoleum as a final service to the Chief he once served, and in remembrance of his homeland. Vincent Hgog’nav’ich the architect dedicates a new chapel in the Ona Yagich cathedral to Cornelius, declaring that, “The boy Tuch’huelpe came with his circus of dancing guanacos, but the man Tuch’huelpe left us with a nation of civilized men who took their place with the great nations of Christendom”. A massive funeral takes place in Ona Yagich, in which the now-gigantic circus that brought Tuch’huelpe to prominence leads a procession of warriors and nobles through the streets of Ona Yagich, putting on the the wildest display of fire and acrobatics in it’s history. It is said that, “the streets of Ona Yagich were aflame that day in a way they have never been again”. The body of the Chief, covered in gold decorations, is carried by six men – two acrobats representing his youth, a noble and a Maugholdian representing the expansion of the Haruwin, and finally by Vincent H’gog’navich and a seldom-seen Michael Angelus representing the building projects of his later years. His wife, Sarah Yu’arik’nam and only daughter Rachel Te’kina’hnam, follow behind in tears. Tuch’huelpe has left no sons, and Rachel is placed in charge of the circus along with her two daughters (who are both guanaco riding acrobats).  The election of the new Great Chief is a matter of great contention, as many chiefs from many different groups are vying for power. It is thought that that John Chongat, the grandson of David Chongat Yagich and a local chief in Ona Yagich, will win election among the Council of Chiefs. However, he surprisingly falls short of a majority on the first ballot. It was thought that he would win all votes from the two thirds of the nobles who were Catholic and most of those who were not - but he carries only the votes from Ona Yagich and the Eastern Penininsula. The non-Catholic third of the nobility, who were expected to splinter to candidates representing their various religious sects, instead unite behind the young Lord of Miyako Yagich, Laozi Ctli’ich. This choice was unexpected, as Ctli’ich represents the pure Taoists of Miyako Yagich rather than larger Hain of Lao Tzu syncretism which dominates the rural West. Instead of choosing a candidate of the largest sect, the Hainist and Teushen nobles have selected a candidate from the most civilized non-Catholic sect in hopes of winning votes. Perhaps most surprisingly, the devoutly Catholic nobles of K’onip have voted against John Chongat and supported their own candidate, a local noble named Pius Gunu’un’ichin – in hopes of electing a chief less focused on the city of Ona Yagich. The supporters of Chongat are furious and one chief demands the K’onipians “support the candidate backed by Christ, not of the candidate of whale blubber merchants!” This in turn infuriates Pius, who declares that the Chongat supporters have, “defamed the name of Christ with their vain politicking!” The second vote produces the exact same result, and after more threats from the backers on John Chongat, Pius is driven to make a move that will shake the Selk’nam nation to it’s core – the negotiation of an agreement with the pagan nobles.  In a secret meeting, Pius says that he is prepared to throw the votes of K’onip behind a non-Catholic candidate, but demands a signed promise to “retain the Catholic character of the Selk’nam nation”. He also claims that Laozi Ctli’ich, at age 37, is far too young to risk handing the Haruwin to a pagan chief. The next day, the entire council is surprised when all of Pius and Laozi’s votes go instead to Laozi’s  67-year old uncle, Ge Hong Ctli’i’i – who becomes the first Taoist Great Chief . Over the shouts of furious Ona Yagich nobles, Great Chief Ge Hong announces that the Haruwin will remain a Catholic nation and that the building of the cathedral and integration into greater Christendom will continue, and that Pius will be his right hand. However,  all faiths will be respected and relations with the Eastern allies of Japan will be deepened.  When the new Great Chief is announced, he is met with stunned silence from the Ona Yagich crowd, and in the uneasy calm that follows, many wonder how a Chief can control a nation when his religion holds only 10% of the population. While the news is greeted with elation in Taoist Miayko Yagich – Hainists in the West and traditionalists in the Teushen lands wonder how a Taoist Chief will be any different than a Catholic one.  Meanwhile – unaware of developments at home – Zhangzi Hg’ich sails on from New Syria to  Orissa, where he presents his letter of greeting and friendship from the now-dead Cornelius Tuch’huelpe.
 * France, La Marche, Rhaetia, Lorraine, Leptis, Numidia, Tyrol and Occitania's militaries are updated, and Nouvelle Bourgogne expands 3000 sq km, while Brasilea and Baie d'Eric (Erik's Bay) expand by 2000 sq km and La Riviere expands by 1000 sq km.
 * Dahod continues to be provided with supplies and advisors, influencing the nation to take a pro-Maharajya stance. Investigations into heat continue as industry is constructed all around the nation. Many scientists continue to work in the biological field. Many start to disect bodies to find out what the human body is made from. Many dead bodies are looked into to see what the organs and such are. Organs such as the brain are examined. Most these bodies are those found on the streets - unclaimed and uncremated. As a result - the scientists cremate the dead bodies after they have completed their researches. The SOC continues ferrying the settlers into Amazonia. Uttarshina is expanded by 4100 km by immigrants coming into the colony, and conpanies flourish as housing is built and roads are expanded to cover all three colonies. The SOC continues to state that the Dutch are acting in a very unfriendly manner. Crowds continue demanding that the Dutch return their colonies they took from the rightful owners, the Maharajya. The nation contines to amp up their military in a bid to give themselves something to be proud of. A large number of air furnaces are made in ammunition factories to help build up the military. Bhutan and Kamapura continue to expand their economies as trading with the Maharajya helps create growth. Much migration also begins to take place between Orissa and the vassals. The economy of the nations begins to once more grow with the re-introduction of Brunei into the fold of the Maharajya. In Brunei, many christians convert back to Hinduism - stating they had been forced to convert by the Welsh - and once more pilgrim to sacred temples seaching for forgiveness. The Welsh impact has been left in the new styles of buildings constructed in the short span the nation was under Welsh influence, and this is looked into by Bruneian and Orissan architects alike. The arrival of Zhangzi stirs up some interest in the region - and the Maharajya states they are happy to be friends.

 * The Great Haruwin of the Selk'nam: Great Chief Ge Hong Ctli'i'i works to consolidate his rule and engages in a heavy buildup of the military, decentralizing the command from Ona Yagich and building local garrissons in each of the four major cities. He especailly devotes resources to the institution of the Miyako Yagich garrisson, from whom he draws his own highly trained personal guards. Most of the Haruwin accepts the new Chief, as the West and Teushen welcome a non-Catholic Chief, while the Catholic heartland of K'onip is kept in line by its favorite son, the new "Prime Minister" Pius. The Maugholdians of K'onip enjoy something of a resurgence, as they realize that they lack state support and increase their focus on missionizing the population to ensure a Catholic majority among the common people. Their missionaries are especially effective among the Hainist communities of the West, where they previously had not been active, as well as in the newly settled Teushen periphery. However, the capital itself Catholic mainland remains quietly hostile toward the new chief and his inner circle of suddenly empowered Taoists and K'onipians. John Chongat consolidates a postion as "leader of the opposition" in the Great Council, and many in Ona Yagich begin protesting to intstate the "House of Chongat Yagich" as hereditary monarchs of the Haruwin. The two "parties" come to be known as the "Royalists" supporting John Chongat, and the "Outlanders" supporting Great Chief Ge Hong and Prime Minister Pius. Both sides aggressively court the support of the aging wife of the deceased Cornelius Tuch'huelpe and daughter of David Chongat Yagich, Sarah Yu'arik'nam, and her middle aged daughter Rachel Te'kina'hnam. Rachel is seen as particularly important, as her mother is old, and her own "royal blood" would be in dispute if John were made king (Cornelius himself having been a commoner, married to a princess, then democratically elected by the council). However, the House of Tuch'huelpe remains silent and concerns itself only with the operation of the Great Circus. In an attempt to woo public opinion and make good on his promise to Pius, Great Chief Ge Hong orders Vincent Hgog'navi'ch to accelerate the constuction of the cathedral. In a speech, Ge Hong proclaims the, "This church is a great monument to the Selk'nam culture, and we must all be greatful that Catholicism has helped make the Selk'nam and build our Haruwin. I, myself, am not of the Selk'nam, but of the Yaghan, who owe their progress to Chongat Yagich's first allies in Miyako. But let us never lose the place in the Christian world which David and Cornelius fought so hard for!" However, Ge Hong also moves to strengthen his own people, dispatching three of his best ships with emissaries bearing chests of gold, seeking a meeting with the Mononobe Shogun. He asks that the Mononobe send many Taoist priests and learned Taoist wise men to Miyako Yagich in order to build great centers of Taoist learning. In his letter, he explicitly declares that, "I am bound to keep my nation Christian, but please let my own city, Miyako Yagich, be second only to Kyoto as a jewel in the crown of Taoism." In addition to requesting Mononobe help, Ge Hong orders the existing Taoist hierarchy to pour all of its resources into subverting the "so-called Hain of Lao Tzu" and "bring them to Lao Tzu as he truly is."  Meanwhile, Zhangzi Hg'ich spends several months in Orissa and asks that the Maharajya states send ships to open a direct trade in whale oil and gold. However, he declares in March that he must realize his dream of sailing the globe and sails away. In October, he arrives in Italian Australis, and once again presents his letter from his long-deceased Cheif Cornelius. Several locals, who have heard from trading ships that he left Orissa in March, ask why it took so long for him to reach their shores. He refuses to answer directly, saying merely that he has seen many things on his long journey, too many to recount, However, he is here now and earnestly desires to open direct Selk'nam relations with Italia and its Australian colonies. 
 * Mononobe, Maharajya and Italia please respond.

The colonies of Dähnnät and Täsfa are expanded by 350 km, the colony of Borona is expanded by 1100 km, and the colony of Msraq Qäsärä is expanded by 2600 km.

The recently-created capitania expands 4300 sq km, and in Rio da Prata, Paraguai expands 4200 sq km.
 * All the Germanic states expand their militaries. Brandenburg does nothing to stop the invasion of the Netherlands and instead builds massive fortifications along the East Brandenburgish border (with Denmark and Brandenburg) to prevent more forces from coming in and all the 18 gates of Berlin are closed. The colonies expand as usual (4500 sq km in their respective directions) and the vassals, etc, do the normal economic expansion and Chimu does its expansion. Brandenburg follows the example of Saxony and freezes all Rhinish assets in its associated territories. East Brandenburg and Denmark, as the closest nations to the war, formally declare war on the new Confederation, although no action has been taken yet. Troops are drafted from Georgia and Gibraltar, and Austria, farthest from the war, begins to heavily militarize its northern and western borders.
 * You realize Brandenburg itself is being invaded too? ~Von

 * Prūsiskan Protektorat: Albert Heinrich von Felsberg, the Herr aus Prūsa, writes again to Russia and asks for an alliance. He also pursues diplomacy in the west, asking for an alliance from Saxony and Bavaria along with asking for membership of the Greater Germanic Union. The Adligenrat passes its first Acts, making provisions for a basic tax system and for a small standing military force. The military power of Prussia increases as a draft of recruits begin training to be infantry for the newly created Nawan Protektorat Armee. Some of the refugees that migrated west start trying to find work, a small amount do boosting the Prussian economy slightly. (OOC: this is just a military boosting turn with diplomacy, the economic stuff can be ignored)
 * Reiches Großraum Bayern:Bavarian Carthage and Cyrenaica expand 5000 sq km south and 5000 West for Carthage and 5000 East for Cyrenaica. Chemistry continues to expand as the blank areas of the table of the elements is filled in as more universities explore the chemical properties of the known world.  The Weltzeituhr newspaper continues to print in record numbers. Wissenschaft Heute (Science Today) continues to outline the exciting new innovations and discoveries of the scientific community. The Royal Academy of Sciences expands its research to include the study of human anatomy. Bavaria continues to build observatories in the Bavarian Alps.

The Chancellor orders the complete lockdown of Munchen, all roads and gates are effectively shut down and heavily fortified as the Invader's military marches closer. Bavaria is unnable to answer Prussia at the present time due to the German Union requiring all three nation's decision. Go to the German Union page to request admission. Bavaria is focused on the war effort. France is asked to aid her ally Bavaria.
 * Is it my impression, or you are discovering this planet for the third time in three years?
 * copy past negligence
 * Bavarian Indonesia: Neu Munchen in Western Australis expands 10,000 sq km south along the coast. Observatories are constructed.

More chemistry tables are obtained from Bavaria.
 * UMSHM: The King-Duke, having been preoccupied with a family holiday in the Alps, returns to discover the appalling situation which has arisen in the Confederation. He condemns the action by Strellok, and, as the lawful Lord Protector of the Confederation, His Majesty revokes Strelloks military ranks, all his honours and his noble titles. The Landtag refuses to recognise Strellok's regime, and term it an "insurgency" and freezes all Confederal assets in Saxon banks. The parliament and King-Duke declare war on the "rebellious insurgents" and the full force of the Saxon army is sent to protect the Western frontier and to restore order to the Confederation. A large naval squadron of the United German Navy is dispatched to blockade the Confederation and prey upon any commerce coming their way. Intelligence agents (such as they are in the 1750s) in the confederation spread pamphlets and other publications denouncing the regime of Strellok and the other traitors. His Majesty invokes the "In the event of a war of defence (ie a member-state is invaded) then all members are obliged to assist" clause of the German Union's charter, urging Brandenburg to give support in the war. He thanks Bavaria for the help it has already tendered. In the colonies: A large force is sent from Saxon West Africa to seize Rhinish Guinea from the insurgents (this should be quite easy, think of Napoleon's colonies falling to Britain otl). Saxon Australis expands 1000 sq km into the gap between Saint Boniface and Saint Thomas. Karika is asked if it can halt expansion at otl Nhulumbuy.


 * Confederation of the Rhine Government in Exile: The loyal members of the Confederal Bundestag, as well as whatever loyal Princes remain, form a government in exile in Dresden. It manages to get control of some of the Confederation's assets, and aims to form a regiment or two of loyalists (Similar things happened with the Bourbons during the rule of Napoleon).


 * Primatial Magdeburg: Missionary activity expands in the Aru Islands.
 * Wales continues to grow its economy and build a stronger military. Population continues to grow. The Chief of the Chono agrees to be vassalized as part of Wales, and the tribe immediately becomes a close relation of the Governor of De Mor Tir. Furthermore, the WTC-WSFO (Whaling, Trading and Fishing Organization) becomes a large source of income for the largely converted Chono.
 * England, Scotland, Belfast, and Brittany  grow their militaries and economies. Population growing policies remain in place, and Welsh culture continues to make a lot of progress in its continued spread. The WTC oversees the expansion of De Mor Tir 3000 sq km, as Tulpung yr Aber also grows 3000 sq km.  The  Welsh Royal Coast  and  Morocco  enter into a dynastic union with each other, greatly eliminating tensions that were left over after the border dispute.  New South Wales  grows its economy and military, as Maori Catholicism continues to spread. Missionary activity in Welsh regions stops since all the nations are now Catholic.
 * Italia continues to expand its military. Urbanization continues in Southern and Western Italia at a rapid pace especially in the port cities of Naples, Palermo and Genoa. Venice begins to make a name for itself in tourism for the upper class, education and naval construction in some of the further islands with the lagoon's sheltered and settled condition proving to be perfect for shipbuilding. Large scale use of the waterwheel continues to occur in the Italian heartlands - especially around Florence. Scientists from across Europe flock to witness the almost constant public demostrations and experiments at the University of Venice in the field of chemistry. Meanwhile, the University of Milan and the University of Istria continue to lead in the study of human anatomy with near daily dissections much to the displeasure of the local populace. The University of Southern Tyrolia makes progress in the field of astronomy, identifying a few new stars and moons. Italia and its subject nations continue to experience a declining death rate as a result of greater understanding of how the human body works. Aymara and Nya Gyptios expand at 10,000 sq km inland while Nuovo Brescia expands by 8500 sq km in Australia. Italia continues to monitor the status of Bavaria and Saxony closely and will defend those two nations should they seem to be on the verge of falling.
 * Yugoslavia, Greece and Siam continue to expand their economies. Padang and Malacca continue to upgrade their navies.
 * The Grat Haruwin of the Selk'nam: Great Chief Ge Hong Ctli'i'i inaugurates a massive Taoist temple and univerisity that has been built with the help of the Mononobe wise men, saying that he hopes that the people of Miyako Yagich will now be known as the world's second great Taoist culture along with the Monobe. The massive increase in the organization of the Taosists leads to the increasing consolidation of the syncretic Hain of Lao Tzu into mainline Taoism. This is aided byt the fact that the imported Japanese wise men are far  less hostile to Hainist practices than the local Taoist authoirities, who had been insisting on the replacement of traditional Selk'nam ways with "proper" Japanese customs. The Japanese themselves find this appalling, and one wise man angrily demands of a local priest, "Where in the Tao Te Ching does it say anything about eating with chopsticks rather than one's hands?!" In fact, the Japanese are so impressed with the theatrical Hain depictions of Lao Tzu that they suggest that the people of Miyako Yagich adopt the practice as a way of forging and "authentic Selk'nam Taoism". Meanwhile, the Catholic majority has actually continud to grow under Ge Hong, as the Maugholdians (under prodding from Prime Minister Pius) realize that their missionary work must go forward without the overt help of the Great Chief, and become far more organized. They find great success among the people of the newly settled Teushen periphery, and also among the rural far Northwestern adhereants of the Hain of Lao Tzu, who they had previously left alone, and who are far from the Japanese influence in Miyako Yagich. Betweeen Taoist influce and the South and Christian missionary activity in the Northwest, The Hain of Lao Tzu is losing adherants rapidly and sems to be nearing extinction as a distinct religion. Hainist authorities hold a great council and agree that they should concentrate on integrating into mainline Taoism and ensuring that it retains a "Hainist character in the Selk'nam lands". After spending several years in Australis as a defacto  emmissary between the Selk'nam and Italia, Zhangzi Hg'ich finally returns home after hearing from traders that one of his fellow Taoists has suceedede Cornelius Tuch'huelpe as Great Chief. He is met with a great celebrations, as the people have heard in advance that he is not only still alive but has travelled the breadth of the globe. On his arrival home, he becomes a favorite in the court of Ge Hong and regails the courtiers with tales of Orissa and Australis. However, many of the Taoist scientists in court are able to piece togetehr that based on average speed of ships, he was several months late arriving in both Orissa and Australis, as well as late arriving home. When posed questions about this, he simply laughs and states that, "I am but a simple shipbuilder, perhaps I was in error with my records, or slow in my sailing." This arouses great suspiscion but Zhangzi refuses to change his line. However, secretly, he has given several scrolls to Great Chief Ge Hong concerning the full account of his voyages. These are placed in  a vault in the Great Chief's palace and put under 24-hour armed guard. The existence of the scrolls is never formally acknowleged, but rumors circulate in Ona Yagich of "The Great Secret of Zhangzi Hg'ich" - likely started by the gossiping wives of the guards.
 * Why did callum delete my post? I checked the Revisions, it was you. My post existed before you posted, and after, it vanished. Anyway, I retrieved it. Russia works on its military. Russia declares the only true Emperor of Germany they will recognize is the Kaiser, Russia's Tsar, officially denouncing the General invading German territory as "Detleff the Usurper". Military aid from Russia will be provided if asked.
 * The German people would most certainly appreciate the aid of the Russians.
 * Should I just give you military aid or delare full war on the Usurper? It's just that If I declare war, you will get points subtracted for my expansion into Sibiria...I just want to know if you think my full war is worth the points off for Sibiria.
 * Just military aid.
 * The nation sees a propaganda campaign not seen since the first of Orissa's great Rajas. All around the nation,  propaganda makes people believe that they are a part of the United Mharajya and should do everything in their power to protect their motherland. Investigations into heat continue as industry is constructed all around the nation. Many scientists continue to work in the biological field. Dissection continues to increase knowledge of events in the humna body. All around the nation, more and more children are surviving into  their teenage years. The SOC continues ferrying the settlers into Amazonia. Uttarshina is expanded by 4100 km by immigrants coming into the colony, and companies flourish as housing is built and roads are expanded to cover all three colonies. The SOC continously state that the lands in South America are rightfully ours and should be returned. The nation begins to get ready for war, and this is accompanied by the recent propaganda taking hold. Thousands enroll and are trained heavily to be part of an efficient killing machine. The nation contines to amp up their military, with the mood being that a war is coming and it might be able to finally give the people of the nation something to be proud of. A large number of air furnaces are made in ammunition factories to help build up the military. Bhutan, Kamapura and Dahod continue to expand their economies as trading with the Maharajya helps create growth. Much migration also begins to take place between Orissa and the vassals. Brunei's economy grows significantly and is useful for trading. With the situation growing worse for nations in the area, the NOC begins making a lot ofmoney as both sides require ammunition and weapons, with the NOC selling these to great profit.

The revolt is put down swiftly, and Kaliforno is dissolved, as the government said it would be if this happened. Xaman is reorganized into the colony of Greater Kaliforno, with its capital at the city of Xaman. Trade through North Maori and New Ceatl continues, allowing for more trade with Asian nations. Trade offer is still open Italy (by way of Australia). Infrastructure in Zapotec continues to be updated. The colony of Halakin continues trading with the nations in Atlantia, especially Brandenburg. The Juun family continues setting up schools. More universities are established in middle class provinces. Roads in the northern part of the Empire continue to be updated, especially in areas of heavy traffic. Training drills are conducted by the military.

Development of the national ideology of plural-continentalism continues, and the expansion of the ethnic Ethiopian population in the empire continues, especially with the shrinking of the non-Ethiopian populations. The construction of factories and high-maintenance facilities begins in Ethiopia as the power of industrialization begin to kick in. Vassalization of the Ajuuraan Sultanate begins.
 * Kingdom of the Netherlands: The government opened the dikes to deal with the invasion and declares a state of emergency, mobilizing all available army to deal with the war. The King asks the help of all the allies, and stop the false emperor. Argentium colony expands 4000 km north. Chile colony expands the north coast 2000 km. Acech-Pasai, under the control of Netherlands, continue negotiations with Minangkabau and Pagaruyang, in this way uniting the kingdoms into one unified state.

1756
'''Emperor Detleff Strellok learns of the French's alliance with the German Empire rebels, and he declares war on France. The Emperor travels to Hanover to organise his personal army in Hanover in preparation for his attack on Berlin. He lets his other trusted generals lead the attacks on Munich, Paris and Amsterdam.'''


 * Could we perhaps have a map showing where the so-called "German Empire" 's borders are, and where they have advanced to? Also, apologies to Russia for deleting your post last turn, I did not realise. Callumthered (talk) 02:47, July 8, 2013 (UTC)
 * I, too, want to see this False Germany. Andr3w777 (talk) 03:38, July 8, 2013 (UTC)
 * I'll post one next turn to show his empire at its greatest extent. Its fall begins in 1758 ~Von


 * Portugal, Navarra, Aragon, Castille, Granada and León prepare their militaries. Meanwhile in Portugal, rebuilding of fortresses and buildings damaged due to the earthquake of 1755 continues, and the reforms in Lisboa continue to take place.before November, the city is cleaned from debris, and in Castille, the canal's construction continues. Meanwhile, Sofala expands 1000 sq km, and Loanda expands 500 sq km, while in Brasil, the capitania of São José do Rio Negro is renamed as Maranhão, after the river that the capitania follows, and it expands 4350 sq km.

Taoism in Kasodani continues to rise in popularity and more Taoist Temples are built. Aid and clean up continues in Japan for those who were affected by the earthquakes.
 * All the remaining Germanic states expand their militaries. Neu Berlin expands 4500 sq km along the French colony and Vinland expands 4500 sq km west towards Neu Berlin. The Royal Family flees Berlin for Neu Berlin and leaves General Heinrich Drussolf in command of the nation and the capital as Strellok advances. The Reichstag flees to exile in Russia and the Royal Navy blockades the waters between Norway/Sweden and Denmark to prevent Strellok from advancing away from Germany proper. All the vassals expand their wartime economies and Austria completely seals itself from the rest of Europe. Aquitane, currently farthest from the war, declares support from the French and moves in to occupy France to stop Strellok's advances. Meanwhile, Chimu expands 10,000 sq km north.
 * Just a question, the Brandenbergian Kaiser is also the Russian Tsar, why not flee to Russia, where he is also the ruling monarch? I am saying it makes more sense for him to flee to Novgood than to a colony....if you forgot Russia named the Kaiser their tsar before he entered into the German confederacy thing.
 * Da fuq, I'm being invaded from everywhere, but OK. Also, Scraw, the right word in the case of your entrance to France is either enter, occupy and or intervene. Sine dei gloriem (talk) 00:52, July 8, 2013 (UTC)
 * Yeah, fair enough. Aquitane helping France fight off Strellok but you shouldn't be invading France as France still stands. He hasn't reached Paris yet ~Von
 * OK, I'll save it.
 * Because Russia will be next to be attacked if Germany is defeated. However, I will change it to Novgorod. And yes, I mean occupation.
 * Then let him come to Russia! Let General Winter show this ambitious and just as unprepared ATL Napoleon what it means to mess with Russia in the winter...your entire army freezing to death Mwahahahaha!!!! But in all seriousness, mods, please don't have this guy attack me unless it's for realistic army-freezing...please...
 * So, in any case, is it a deal for Russia getting the cat's neck as a precautionary measure so that the Usurper doesn't get control of the sea trade into Bhe baltic? then give back when usurper eventualy defeated? deal?
 * Russia welcomes the German governments. The Russian state proclaims that any German people are welcome into Russia. Russia tells all German monarchs that they will be safe from the Usurper within the territory of the Russian Realm. Russia also asks the German Reichstag to cede the passage between The North Sea and the Baltic (cat's neck and islands between and whatnot) to keep that passage from the usurper, with the eventual plan of returning that territory to Germany once the usurper is defeated, to keep him from having control of trade into the Baltic, with the exception of a land route through Norway to Finland, into the Baltic.
 * France: The king dies of old age, already having ruled France for about 75 years. His son Charles X of France hears the news of the invasion and its shocked, his ambassadors in Africa and America finally had assured the vassalization of the Muiscas, Zululand and New Judea, and he himself have assured papal vassalage, soon he sends emissaries to Normandy and Wales to aid as the Germans have done, yet in the east, Rhaetian and some Germans claim Strellok as ruler of Lothringen and Burgunden, the French king of barely 23 years old flees with his family and with the Senate of France to Carthage where Carmen I rules. France now lays divided as in the north Strellok rules with his hand, and in the south Charles Rules, The military is built up and navy expands. Nouvelle Bourgogne expands 3000 sq km, while La Riviere inalnd and Baie d'Eric (Erik's Bay) expand by 2250 sq km inland and  Brasilea expands by 3000 sq km Inland. School system is devastated as the fleeing population to the colonies and to French Africa begins, the Imperial league of France prepares its own invasion through occitania and Papal provence to strike the Germans. While this, the population in Paris is evacuated and the city prepared from the attacks of the Rhenish empire, the Pope Alexander VII is evacuated from provence as fears of the likely event of Strellok attacking provence seem likely, Nouvelle Bourgogne becomes the biggest center for the population fleeing the upcoming chaos.
 * Aquitaine offers to protect southern France as a temporary vassal (until the war ends).

The Weltzeituhr newspaper HQ is attacked by the Usurper, leading editors flee south toward Italia. Wissenschaft Heute (Science Today) suspends print until the end of the war. The Royal Academy of Sciences continues its research to include the study of human anatomy. Despite the conflict, a great many strides have been made to understand the body. St. Marie Hospital is flooded with patients from invaded areas. This surprise invasion shows how unprepared the Bavarian medical system is. Several doctors note this and send letters to the exiled Reichstag. The military utilizes the new roads to send troops to the north to help repel the invasion. The Chancellor orders the complete lockdown of Munchen, all roads and gates are effectively shut down and heavily fortified as the Usurper's military marches closer. Chancellor Andersson orders a mandatory evacuation of the Bavarian Reichstag and all upper political leaders to a safe zone in Russia. The Chancellor takes command of the 2nd Royal Army and closes down Munchen, preparing to defend with massive artillery strikes at the Usurper's lines. Bavaria requests the Bavarian party members of the German Union flee to Russia with Saxony and Brandenburg and establish a temporary government. All roads toward the cities of Munchen and Nuremburg or closed by military order, the pass through the Alps is opened to allow fleeing citizens into Italia.
 * Bavarian Indonesia: Neu Munchen in Western Australis expands 10,000 sq km south along the coast. Governor Willems navy finally arrives in the North Sea, and divides to meet up with the Eastern German Fleet.

 * Myanmar: Myanmar Afrika expands by 1000 sq km. Myanmar Oceania expands by 1000 sq km. Urbanization continues using the lumber in Northern Myanmar. The 17th to 19th improved wooden sawmill is built in Northern Myanmar, with a production of 100 kg lumber daily. The 35th and 38th iron workshops are built in Southern Myanmar. A Burmese artisan built the nation's first rifle.
 * Wales continues to grow its economy and build a stronger military. King Arthur II begins to get old, and his son, Prince Evan II, begins to prepare for a grand coronation. He is notably quite indulgent, much to his father's dismay. Population continues to grow. In Cardiff, the largest city in Wales and the home of the new Cardiff University (which is considered an equal to Oxford and Cambridge), a notable sailor and scientist, Martyn Maldwyn, invents the sextant. Also, intellectuals in Avalon begin an idea of Fawr Brythoneg, which means "Great Brython". The idea catches on with Prime Minister Alun Islwyn, who writes a largely popular book, Un Pobl Celtaidd (One Celtic People).
 * England, Scotland, Belfast, and Brittany grow their militaries and economies. Population growing policies remain in place, and Welsh culture continues to make a lot of progress in its continued spread. Belfast is renamed Ireland to show that it encompasses all of the former Eire. The WTC oversees the expansion of De Mor Tir 3000 sq km, as Tulpung yr Aber also grows 3000 sq km. The Welsh Royal Coast and Morocco grow their economies and militaries. New South Wales grows its economy and military, as Maori Catholicism continues to spread. The Chono Haruwin continues to convert to Christianity, and expands 10,000 sq km south towards the Miyako colony.
 * Welsh Diplomacy: We offer to assist Strellok in the war against the Netherlands (either by declaring war or only by sending massive amounts of supplies, money, and troops) if he will recognize Arthur II as King of the Netherlands -OR- if he allows Wales to take over Argentium/Chile. We also advise Strellok to not attack Russia or Italia. (At least not yet.)
 * Saxon Diplomacy: We ask our friends in Wales not to give aid to Strellok, as his usurpation has shaken the foundations of our governmental system (yours and mine), and also, any aid given to assist against the Netherlands will doubtless also be used against Saxony and Bavaria, your allies and friends.
 * Mod event: Emperor Strellok demands that Wales either joins his side completely or be seen as his enemy. The Emperor will not be used by anyone, he will be one who does all of the controlling.
 * Rebellious Germans declare that the Welsh should support Strellok, whereas the government-in-exile says that war with the Netherlands is now war with Germany.
 * Bavarian Diplomacy: Bavaria asks that Wales side with the true Germanies, as we offer the most stability in Europe after we quiet down this dang Usurper. Note if you declare war on the Netherlands, you declare war on all of Germany and possibly some allies such as France or Russia.
 * Netherlands Diplomacy: Wales and Netherlands were in personal union, and have strong business relationships ... This is treason ... Knowing that even in good faith we returned the control of London, who was in our possession ... And also knowing that the fleet of Wales has no chance against the Dutch that exceeds in number and technology. All ports in the British Isles and colonies will be subject to a naval blockade.
 * It was a secret offer.
 * Wales declares war on the false emperor, backing our German allies. We accept the alliance with Bavaria, also.
 * UMSHM: Young Prince Wolfram and his mother the Queen-Duchess remove themselves to Bergen in Saxon Norway, away from the conflict. King-Duke Eugen II remains and travels to the front to assist his generals with the running of the campaign against the scoundrel Strellok. The landtag establishes conscription for men aged 18-25 who are not employed in vital tasks. In Australis, a naturalist named Johannes zu Stramm invents a system for classifying organisms (he is a TTL Carl Linnaeus).
 * I did the Linnaean sytem already. ~S
 * Confederation of the Rhine Government in Exile: A regiment is raised from loyalist Rhinish fellows. A small administrative team is sent to administer Rhinish Guinea with the assistance of the Saxon occupying force.
 * Primatial Magdeburg: The Primate (in Magdeburg) begins preparations for departing for Saint Boniface.
 * Dimurats: Military, Infrastructure, and economy are improved.
 * You might want to expand your colony in OTL Tanzania, BTW.
 * ​Italia continues to expand its military. Urbanization continues in Southern and Western Italia at a rapid pace especially in the port cities of Naples, Palermo and Genoa. Venice begins to make a name for itself in tourism for the upper class, education and naval construction in some of the further islands with the lagoon's sheltered and settled condition proving to be perfect for shipbuilding. Large scale use of the waterwheel continues to occur in the Italian heartlands - especially around Florence. Scientists from across Europe flock to witness the almost constant public demostrations and experiments at the University of Venice in the field of chemistry. Meanwhile, the University of Milan and the University of Istria continue to lead in the study of human anatomy with near daily dissections much to the displeasure of the local populace. The University of Southern Tyrolia makes progress in the field of astronomy, identifying a few new stars and moons. Italia and its subject nations continue to experience a declining death rate as a result of greater understanding of how the human body works. Aymara and Nya Gyptios expand at 10,000 sq km inland while Nuovo Brescia expands by 8500 sq km in Australia. Italia continues to monitor the status of Bavaria and Saxony closely and will defend those two nations should they seem to be on the verge of falling.
 * Yugoslavia, Greece and Siam continue to expand their economies. Padang and Malacca continue to upgrade their navies.
 * The Arabian Federation expands its colonies with the Zanj coast colony expanding 4100 sq km inland and the newly founded New Oman colony 200 sq km inland. The Federation also builds up its military to recover from the war with Larantuka. The White Sultan wins his third term in office and Sultan Badr al Din orders his navy to sail to Kupang, with the White Sultan preparing for his latest war.
 * The Levantine Kingdom builds up its economy as colonial expansion continues, with the New Syria colony expanding 2500 sq km inland and Nusantara expanding 2100 sq km deeper into Sulawesi Island. King Joshua announces a new plan to build modern universities across the Levant and offers more government funding to growing science departments. King Joshua also denounces Emperor Detleff Strellok and the Levant sends military aid to help out the rest of the German Union fight off the false German Emperor.
 * The Arabian Caliphate builds up its economy as education is improved in the Caliphate. The Al-Khalil colony expands 1000 sq km northward too.
 * The Sultanate of Baghdad builds up its economy as the Ministry of Agriculture spreads new agricultural ideas and sells fertilizers to farmers as well. The Royal Scientific continues research on chemicals and the Ministry of Industry is established to help increase the Sultanate's productivity and economic output.
 * The Sultanate of Kuwait builds up its economy and the nation gets more modern education like neighbouring Baghdad.
 * The Maldives builds up its economy as the Foalhavahi colony allows many poor people to start a new life in the new territories.
 * The Republic of Comchellak builds up its economy as the newer Sheikdom states are economically developed.
 * The Mayan Empire continues trade with European colonies and the Lakota.  Trade through North Maori and New Ceatl continues, allowing for more trade with Asian nations. Trade offer is still open Italy (by way of Australia). Infrastructure in Zapotec continues to be updated. The colony of Halakin continues trading with the nations in Atlantia, especially Brandenburg. The Juun family continues setting up schools. More universities are established in middle class provinces. Roads in the northern part of the Empire continue to be updated, especially in areas of heavy traffic. Training drills are conducted by the military. The Royal Science Academy continues work on scientific projects. Flax and tobacco are grown. Linen is produced in Mutul and Azteca. Money is invested in regional projects to promote wealth and business. Middle class families continue rising to prominence in some of the more wealthy provinces, as well as some of the less wealthy provinces. Greater Kaliforno expands 5150 km and Haven expands 3100 km.
 * Apache continues expanding 8000 km north
 * Kingdom of the Netherlands: The government is in a struggle and much of the population enrolls in the military to deal with the invading army. All dikes near Amsterdam are open to obstruct any possible attacks and allow time to reject the invading forces. The King with all his court takes refuge in Kongo, but following closely the events in the metropolis. Suddenly at the beginning of that year, the King of Kongo, Joao VI, died of a strange disease, and without heirs, leaves the throne vacant. In this way, and with great happiness of the local nobility and the lower classes, the King of the Netherlands, Niejmen II, is proclaimed Emperor of Kongo. The huge Dutch fleet, blocks all possible trade routes and establishes a rigorous blockade of the Baltic Sea and British Isles and every colony, not allowing any ship that is supporter of the false emperor, out to sea. Argentium colony expands 4000 km north. Chile colony expands the north coast 2000 km. Acech-Pasai, under the control of Netherlands, continue negotiations with Minangkabau and Pagaruyang, in this way uniting the kingdoms into one unified state.
 * The massive Germanic Navy (bigger than yours) demands that the Dutch pull out of German waters (Baltic) and return to their own defense.
 * Scraw, this is a stupid move seeing how Strellok took a lot of your navy when he seized Luxembourg and you're fighting a common enemy. Your logic is massively flawed and false ~Von.
 * How is that even possible? It's like Napoleon jacking the Royal Navy. Why? Because the Rhine had no coast. Neither do Saxony or Bavaria. Strellok would only have a small part of the Navy.
 * Germany is a strong ally of the Netherlands, as well as large trading partner. Here we are fighting a common enemy, I do not understand your reaction, I am blocking only those loyal to Strellok.
 * Oh, OK then.
 *  Luxembourg is in the confederation which has a coast, and you claimed is one of most strategic European territories, as its coast grants you easier access to the Atlantic when you were moaning about losing it to France. So you'd have a lot of your navy if it were so important, no? And it's like Imperial France taking Republican (and formally royal) France's navy.
 * If you look back, you'll see that Luxembourg declared independence from the Rhine when Strellok declared himself the leader of the Rhine. Boom. Bye-bye, Rhinish Navy.
 * No. Luxembourg is firmly under Strellok's control. I must have missed that but he took over the country and killed all those who opposed him. His navy will be defeated anyway but he is in control of Luxembourg. The only nation which managed to leave the confederacy was Cleves because it doesn't border the RC so Strellok's armies couldn't invade without going through the Netherlands which didn't. So now the Dutch fight Strellok to defend Cleves.
 * Oldeburg, Liege, Acech-Pasai, Kongo, Dutch Persia, Iceland, Cleves send help. Kongo expands 10,000 sq km inland.
 * Prūsiskan Protektorat: Realising that other countries are leaving it behind in industrialisation, the Adligenrat begins to take steps to modernise the nation. Hoping to entwine a move towards scientific development with a move towards the Germanic Church they create two new laws, one on religious freedom in the pursuit of science and one on funding of scientific development. Further pushing towards the Germanic Church to ensure their place within the GGU, they declare that they are going to begin the annexation of church laws and will move towards a "True Catholic system instead of a papal system". The new tax laws begin to bring in reasonable revenues to help fund government expenditure although to pay its dues, the government still relies on the wealth of the nobles. Meanwhile, employment rises as indirect urbanisation (through the eastern refugee population fleeing to the cities) creates cheap labour that is slowly being employed by artisans and Junkers alike. The Nawan Protektorat Armee finishes its training and a new draft of 5000 men is made, hoping to show its worth to the Greater Germanic Union, 1000 men are sent west to assist in the fight against the false emperor. (again a military turn, I just like fleshing things out :) )
 * Propaganda is pumped all around the nation, telling workers to work harder and faster as their future lies with them. A large sense of patriotism is also born and thousands join up the army. Investigations into heat continue as industry is constructed all around the nation. Many scientists continue to work in the biological field. Dissection continues to increase knowledge of events in the human body. All around the nation, more and more children are surviving into their teenage years. The SOC continues ferrying the settlers into Amazonia. Uttarshina is expanded by 4100 km by immigrants coming into the colony, and companies flourish as housing is built and roads are expanded to cover all three colonies. The SOC continously state that the lands in South America are rightfully ours and should be returned. The nation begins to get ready for war, and this is accompanied by the recent propaganda taking hold. Thousands enroll and are trained heavily to be part of an efficient killing machine. The nation contines to amp up their military, with the mood being that a war is coming and it might be able to finally give the people of the nation something to be proud of. A large number of air furnaces are made in ammunition factories to help build up the military. Bhutan, Kamapura and Dahod continue to expand their economies as trading with the Maharajya helps create growth. Much migration also begins to take place between Orissa and the vassals. Brunei's economy grows significantly and is useful for trading. With the situation growing worse for nations in the area, the NOC begins making a lot of money as both sides require ammunition and weapons, with the NOC selling these to great profit.
 * Rajputana expands its army heavily, and Naya Punjab grows by 4100 km. Sindustan amps up on its army. The Khmers expand their economy, so do Mataram and Brunei. The puppet state of Naya Bihar expands by 10,000 km inland and they build up their economy. Many Orissans begin to settle in Naya Bihar, which as a puppet state has more freedom than the colonies. Naya Bihar's economy grows. Butung also builds up its infrastructure.

1757
'''Emperor Strellok continues marching towards Berlin, and his other generals continue on their marches towards Paris, Amsterdam, Munich, Dresden and Geneva. However, General Becker, who was leading the invasion of France, dies in the battle of Soissons and his army group which was marching towards Paris is largely destroyed in the heroic French victory. With this, Strellok’s French front largely falls apart as the French armies supported by Aquitaine forces push back most of the invading Rhinish armies. This causes Strellok to send some of his troops to re-inforce the French front and this slows his march to Berlin. Elsewhere, the siege of Amsterdam begins as the year ends.'''
 * Portugal, León, Castille, Navarra, Aragon and Granada prepare their militaries. Meanwhile in Portugal, José I dies, and is succeeded by his son Pedro, who is crowned as "By the Grace of God, Pedro III, Emperor of Spain, King of Portugal, Galicia, Algarve, of either side of the sea in Africa, Prince of Brasil, Duke of Viseu and Ferrol, and Lord of Guiné, of either side of the Rio da Prata, and of Commerce, Navigation of Conquest on India". Meanwhile, the rebuilding efforts continue in Portugal and in Castille, the canal's construction continues. Meanwhile, Sofala expands 1000 sq km, and Loanda expands 500 sq km. Meanwhile in Brasil, Maranhão expands 4300 sq km. Meanwhile in Rio da Prata, Paraguai's outermost parts, following the Paraguai River after a certain point, are given to Brasil, and made into a capitania, called Itatim.Itatim, Meanwhile, expands 4200 sq km, closer to São Vicente.
 * The Mononobe Shogunate builds up the military. More Taoist Temples and Shinto Shrines are built throughout the nation and in the colony of Miyako. Meanwhile, Okinawa Kingdom builds up its military. Also, Kasodani expands by 3300 sq km, Tojiko expands by 2000 sq km, Tōkaidō expands by 1200 sq km, Miyako expands into OTL Mainland Chile by 1000 sq km, and Kazami expands by 500 sq km. Taoism in Kasodani continues to rise in popularity and more Taoist Temples are built. Aid and clean up continues in Japan for those who were affected by the earthquakes.
 * The Great Haruwin of the Selknam: Great Chief Ge Hong declares that the medernization of the military must be considered a national priority and commissions the procuction of large numbers of cannons and guns.  Rumors circulate that the elderly Great Chief Ge Hong is in poor health, as he is seldom seen in public and does not speak when he does, and that he has ramped up his paranoid buildup of the military as a way of guarding against the Royalists forming in Ona Yagich. However, Ge Hong also continues his outreach to allies, sending emissaries to congratulate the Chono Haruwin on their centralization. John Chongat ramps up his agitation among the population of the capital, declaring that the Selk'nam are destined to be an empire to rule Atlantia in the same way that Emperor Strellok is destined to rule Europe. Chongat is increasingly seen in military regalia based on prints of pro-Stellok propaganda from the surrounding colonies. Chongat is particularly strident in his rhetoric against the surrounding European colonies, denouncing De Mor Tir as a "foreign blot standing in the way of the Selk'nam destiny," and calling the Chono Haruwin "puppets of the weakling Arthur, who will soon be removed by the great Strellok!" However, he saves his harshest condemnation for Japanese Miyako, which he denounces as a "den of heathen monkeys ruled by a pagan gorilla of a shogun!" and calling Selk'nam Taoists "fruit squished in the hands of the monkeys" (he is able to make these racist references due to the recent importation of actual monkeys from United Maharajya, which have become something of a fad among the Ona Yagich elite). (Apologies to the Japanese for this moron, but I figured that he was already an elitist idiot, so he would probably also be a racist, xenophobic, elitist idiot.)
 * ​King Arthur II demands that John Chongat is arrested and extradited to Wales, or we will come in and get him ourselves (hopefully with Ge Hong's permission.)
 * Prūsiskan Protektorat: Investment into industrialisation pays off as a local Konigsberg clockmaker called Peter Jaeger invents Konigsberg steel (OTL Benjamin Huntsman and Crucible steel, seeming as no one invented this and it's 17 years late I think it's reasonable for Prussia to claim this :D especially as I'd like us to get something good on our CV and put us on the map), after years of experimenting in secret he had perfected the process and with cheap labour has begun producing it in small quantities. This invention catches the eye of a local Junker who brings it to the attention of the Adligenrat, in consequence an order to supply the Nawan Protektorat Armee with steel bayonets is made. Failing to raise proper revenue via current taxes, the Adligenrat heavily debates but passes a law annexing papal forms of income to the state, alongside this a tax on ships passing through the ports of Prussia is passed. A further 1000 men are sent west to assist in the war while 8000 men remain as a home guard should the Rhineland army break through Brandenburg's lines. The 1000 Prussian troops meet their first battle (a tiny skirmish by the war's standards) with Rhinelander troops on the wing of a Brandenburg/Saxon force, although inexperienced the fresh soldiers help win a triumphant victory and continue to assist in counter-offensive manoeuvres. (mil-turn)
 * Reiches Großraum Bayern:Bavarian Carthage and Cyrenaica expand 5000 sq km south and 5000 West for Carthage and 5000 East for Cyrenaica. The Weltzeituhr newspaper HQ is attacked by the Usurper, leading editors flee south toward Italia. Wissenschaft Heute (Science Today) suspends print until the end of the war. The Royal Academy of Sciences continues its research to include the study of human anatomy, despite the conflict, a great many strides have been made to understand the body. St. Marie Hospital is flooded with patients from invaded areas, this surprise invasion shows how unprepared the Bavarian medical system is, several doctors note this and sends letters to the exiled Reichstag. The military utilizes the new roads to send troops to the north to help repulse the invasion. The Usurper's forces face a major setback as a young Gerneral from the small colony of Neu Munchen named Kossack managed to route the main force heading for Stuttgart, the Usurper faces the largest military blunder in Germany, loyal forces surround the advance force and crush them through shear numbers. With one front gone, Bavaria hopes it can more easily protect Munchen. The Chancellor congratulates France on its great success. Bavarian forces fight fiercly against the traitor's army. John Lexron develops the coaxial rotor, a device that spins to create lift by using the tension of springs to create force(OTL device invented by a Russian, it is commonly believed this invention allowed for the helicopter of the 20th century) Lexron also discovers the use of a lightening rod, decreasing damaged caused to buildings during a storm.
 * This victory should force out Rhinish forces out of Bavaria thanks to the heroic Kossack ~Von
 * Bavarian Indonesia: Neu Munchen in Western Australis expands 10,000 sq km south along the coast. The military continues aid in the war effort. Neu Munchen hears of the victory months after its occurance, when the citizens hear that it was a local that lead the victory a parade is held in his honor. Governor Willems plans on awarding him the Great Iron Cross, the highest military honor in the colonies.
 * France: the Kingdom success in the campaign at France gives a great impulse to the French people who are willing to fight, yet the royalty, the people and the middle class composed of merchants and others loyal French, the destruction of the French army lead by Becker in Soissons, but this is not proof of greater concern as l'armee de Nouvelle Bourgogne and the one from Brazilea, yet the fear of another onslaught from Strellok's army persist, in the south a scientist save its small progress on astronomy sciences, the king remains at Carthage where he is with the rest of the royalty, Larousse, and Germain, the leaders the army of the French on the continent. While this, the expansion into Africa continues as well as the Christianization of as much desert inhabitants  as plausible at 10,000 sq km.
 * France won the battle of Soissons in heroic style killing Becker and destroying his army - France is winning and doing rather well in the war ~Von
 * Carthage expands 10,000 sq km, military is built up. Aid is given to France in the war
 * Leptis: Military is built up and school system continues growing. The expansion starts southward of the empire by 10,000 sq km.  The entrance of the book World's Order Success and Failures is big in the monarchy and the middle class population. Aid is given to France in the war

 * Myanmar: Myanmar Afrika expands by 1000 sq km. Myanmar Oceania expands by 1000 sq km. Urbanization continues using the lumber in Northern Myanmar. The 20th to 23rd improved wooden sawmills are built in Northern Myanmar, with a production of 100 kg lumber daily. The 39th and 42nd iron workshops are built in Southern Myanmar. More rifles are built
 * Normandy: The military expands. King Louis is alarmed at the growing war in Europe, and makes a statement urging the Norman people to prepare for conflict. No declaration of war nor a wartime meeting of the Royal Council has occurred. The Hudson Bay Colony expands 5000 sq km. Benin and Mogadishu expand 10,000 sq km. ('A mod has recently brought up the new rule which states that protectorates are still NPCs and cannot be controlled. Benin and Mogadishu were vassalized in 1737 and 1743 respectively, dropping their previous statuses of protectorates.)
 * If they are vassals now, then fair enough ~Von
 * Cyprus continues to expand its army and navy. Nea Lefkosia is expanded by 1500 sq km, Nea Larnaka is expanded by 1500 sq km and Nea Lemesos is expanded by 1500 sq km.
 * UMSHM: The war goes slightly better, and the troops are overjoyed by the successes of their allies on the other fronts. This year's class of conscripts joins up, swelling the ranks of the army. A massive counterattack is planned for early next year. In Australis, Johannes zu Stramm sighs and hangs his head dejectedly as he discovers that a system for categorising species has already been invented. Saint Boniface is expanded 1000 sq km towards Saint Thomas. Saxon West Africa is expanded 1000 sq km inland along the northern border. Troops remain in Rhinish Guinea to support the government in exile's regime. The King-Duke thanks Prussia for its assistance.
 * Confederation of the Rhine Government in Exile: The regiment raised by the exiled government happily joins the fighting, and manages to win a minor skirmish in Northern Magdeburg. The Exilbundesrat decrees that any soldiers of the regiment who survuve the war will be given vast land grants in Rhinish Guinea. More administrators remove themselves to that colony.
 * Primatial Magdeburg: The Primate abandons Magdeburg before its seige begins, and travels through Brandenburg to Saxon Norway, from whence he travels to Saint Boniface.
 * Anhalt: With Strellokian forces so close, the Annists (like the Jacobites in otl Scotland. For more information, see Anhalt's posts from 1586-1616) rise in open rebellion, calling on Strellok to assist them in overthrowing the "illegitimate" Prince and replacing him with the Annist pretender, Carl-Johann. Many army generals defect to the Annists, who preach orthodox Catholicism, a stronger role for the military in politics, and a policy of enlarging Anhalt with neighbouring parts of Saxony and Bavaria.
 * The Arabian Federation expands its colonies with the Zanj coast colony expanding 4100 sq km inland and the newly founded New Oman colony 200 sq km inland. The Federation also builds up its military to prepare for the Federation's latest war of colonial expansion.
 * The Levantine Kingdom builds up its economy as colonial expansion continues, with the New Syria colony expanding 2500 sq km inland and Nusantara expanding 2100 sq km deeper into Sulawesi Island. King Joshua opens up several new universities this year as the Royal University Charter act is established to bring universities to a high standard of learning by requiring them to have royal charters. These newly accredited universities focus lots on their growing science departments and growing sociology departments.
 * The Arabian Caliphate builds up its economy as education is improved in the Caliphate. The Al-Khalil colony expands 1000 sq km northward too. Sheik Mohammed of Najran wins the Emir elections this year and the new Emir decides to build up the Caliphate's African armies to protect the growing Al-Khalil colony.
 * The Sultanate of Baghdad builds up its economy as the Ministry of Agriculture spreads new agricultural ideas and sells fertilizers to farmers as well. The Royal Scientific continues research on chemicals and the Ministry of Industry is established to help increase the Sultanate's productivity and economic output. This leads to air furances being developed by the Industry Ministery and these new inventions help blacksmiths build metal weapons, armour and other goods.
 * The Sultanate of Kuwait builds up its economy and the nation gets more modern education like neighbouring Baghdad. Sultan Faisal dies this year and his son succeeds him as Sultan Faisal II. Faisal II decides to travel to Baghdad to investigate these new air furnaces to see if they could help build metal armour for Kuwait's battle ships.
 * The Maldives builds up its economy as the Foalhavahi colony allows many poor people to start a new life in the new territories.
 * The Republic of Comchellak builds up its economy as the newer Sheikdom states are economically developed.
 * The Mayan Empire continues trade with European colonies and the Lakota. Trade through North Maori and New Ceatl continues, allowing for more trade with Asian nations. Trade offer is still open Italy (by way of Australia). Infrastructure in Zapotec continues to be updated. The colony of Halakin continues trading with the nations in Atlantia, especially Brandenburg. The Juun family continues setting up schools. More universities are established in middle class provinces. Roads in the northern part of the Empire continue to be updated, especially in areas of heavy traffic. Training drills are conducted by the military. The Royal Science Academy continues work on scientific projects. Flax and tobacco are grown. Linen is produced in Mutul and Azteca. Money is invested in regional projects to promote wealth and business. Middle class families continue rising to prominence in some of the more wealthy provinces, as well as some of the less wealthy provinces. Greater Kaliforno expands 5150 km and Haven expands 3100 km.
 * Apache: continues expanding 8000 km north
 * Wales: is in a war with Strellok, a move that stirs controversy amongst many middle-class citizens who thought that Strellok would leave us alone. Fawr Brythoneg, which means "Great Brython", catches on immensely in Wales, and the idea is shared with the vassal states. Prime Minister Alun Islwyn writes another largely popular book,  Fy Gadarn Alban  (My Strong Albion) a sequel to  Un Pobl Celtaidd  (One Celtic People). King Arthur II recovers from his illness, and decides to personally lead his navy against the Strellokian forces. His son, Prince Evan II, notably condems his father as an idiot, who should've left the nation's admirals to lead the navy. (Arthur II was away at sea when Evan did this.) Population continues to grow. Arthur's Vice Admiral is Martyn Maldwyn, who expertly uses his sextant to manuever a massive Welsh victory off of Kent. The Battle of Samphire Hoe, a forest outside of Dover, destroys to Strellokian navy in the west, and allows for a Welsh invasion of Luxembourg. 100,000 troops are landed on the border of Normandy and Luxembourg (in friendly, Norman territory) and begin to march to Luxembourg. Catching Strellok's forces off-guard, they capture the city of Dunkirk and begin to move into Luxembourg. The port is taken from Strellok, effectively limiting Strellok to only fight on land.
 * England, Scotland, Ireland, and Brittany grow their militaries and economies. Population growing policies remain in place, and Welsh culture continues to make a lot of progress in its continued spread. Fawr Brythoneg catches on with the leaders of vassal states, and a convention is called, supporting that idea in most states of the Welsh Empire. The WTC oversees the expansion of De Mor Tir 3000 sq km, as Tulpung yr Aber also grows 3000 sq km. The Welsh Royal Coast and Morocco grow their economies and militaries. New South Wales grows its economy and military, as Maori Catholicism continues to spread. The Chono Haruwin continues to convert to Christianity, and expands 10,000 sq km south towards the Miyako colony.
 * The WTC offers to sell Aber Dinas to the Arabian Federation. We ask $10,000,000.
 * That's the northern Australian colony right? You know I'd prefer you to be selling Caer Anial lol. But lemme think about it... ~Von
 * ​Italia continues to expand its military. Urbanization continues in Southern and Western Italia at a rapid pace especially in the port cities of Naples, Palermo and Genoa. Venice begins to make a name for itself in tourism for the upper class, education and naval construction in some of the further islands with the lagoon's sheltered and settled condition proving to be perfect for shipbuilding. Large scale use of the waterwheel continues to occur in the Italian heartlands - especially around Florence. Scientists from across Europe flock to witness the almost constant public demostrations and experiments at the University of Venice in the field of chemistry. Meanwhile, the University of Milan and the University of Istria continue to lead in the study of human anatomy with near daily dissections much to the displeasure of the local populace. The University of Southern Tyrolia makes progress in the field of astronomy, identifying a few new stars and moons. Italia and its subject nations continue to experience a declining death rate as a result of greater understanding of how the human body works. Aymara and Nya Gyptios expand at 10,000 sq km inland while Nuovo Brescia expands by 8500 sq km in Australia. Italia continues to monitor the status of Bavaria and Saxony closely and will defend those two nations should they seem to be on the verge of falling.
 * Yugoslavia, Greece and Siam continue to expand their economies. Padang and Malacca continue to upgrade their navies.
 * All the free Germanic states expand their militaries. With Strellok stalled on the Mecklenburg front, several major generals piece together a massive plan to drive him back to the Rhine. Fleets recalled from Neu Prussen captures the Luxembourgish coast in a nine day battle with the Welsh, with a quarter of those fleets decimated and more than half of the enemy ships sunk, with casualties in tens on thousands on our side and hundreds on thousands on the rebel side, thanks to the recent defeat in France. The Aquitanean intervention in France is a massive success, pushing the Rhinish forces north and also recapturing Lyon. However, Mecklenburg quickly falls to Strellok by early fall and all forces are redirected to prevent him from capturing Berlin in a near-last stand. Civilians evacuate in the masses to Sweden and Norway and the OTL pantograph is invented in Christiana (Oslo). Neu Berlin expands 4500 sq km around the French colony and Vinland expands 4500 sq km west towards Neu Berlin. Chimu expands north 10,000 sq km. All vassals, etc, build up economy.
 * My fleet and invading force already captured the port of Luxembourg. Also, we have already decimated their navy. Reximus55 (talk) 19:00, July 9, 2013 (UTC)
 * Dang it man. I like getting my own territory back? Maybe you could free the Netherlands? As I have no real purpose to do that ATM? ~ S
 * Sorry... We can make it so that it was a joint German-Welsh operation. I just thought you would position your forces elsewhere. I mean, it would make more sense to defend Berlin than recapture Luxembourg when you have an ally who is in sight of Luxembourg from the cliffs of Dover. Reximus55 (talk) 19:16, July 9, 2013 (UTC)
 * The Navy wouldn't do much for an inland city like Berlin. But I'll change it. ~ S
 * Switzerland: We build up our military and go on the offensive. We  push out Strellock out of our territory and after a long battle we capture Sundgau.
 * Russia sends 5000 troops to aid against the Usurper in germany. Russia updates military, Kanada expands 8500 sq km
 * Mali: Mali expands 10,000 sq km. to the east. Gabu, Mossi, and Wolof contribute to the economy and navy.
 * Propaganda is pumped all around the nation, telling workers to work harder and faster as their future lies with them. A large sense of patriotism is also born and thousands join up the army. Investigations into heat continue as industry is constructed all around the nation. Many scientists continue to work in the biological field. Dissection continues to increase knowledge of events in the human body. All around the nation, more and more children are surviving into their teenage years. The SOC continues ferrying the settlers into Amazonia. Uttarshina is expanded by 4100 km by immigrants coming into the colony, and companies flourish as housing is built and roads are expanded to cover all three colonies. The SOC continously state that the lands in South America are rightfully ours and should be returned. The nation begins to get ready for war, and this is accompanied by the recent propaganda taking hold. Thousands enroll and are trained heavily to be part of an efficient killing machine. The nation continues to amp up their military, with the mood being that a war is coming and it might be able to finally give the people of the nation something to be proud of. A large number of air furnaces are made in ammunition factories to help build up the military. Bhutan, Kamapura and Dahod continue to expand their economies as trading with the Maharajya helps create growth. Much migration also begins to take place between Orissa and the vassals. Brunei's economy grows significantly and is useful for trading. With the situation growing worse for nations in the area, the NOC begins making a lot of money as both sides require ammunition and weapons, with the NOC selling these to great profit.
 * Rajputana expands its army heavily, and Naya Punjab grows by 4100 km. Sindustan amps up on its army. The Khmers expand their economy, so do Mataram and Brunei. The puppet state of Naya Bihar expands by 10,000 km inland and they build up their economy. Many Orissans begin to settle in Naya Bihar, which as a puppet state has more freedom than the colonies. Naya Bihar's economy grows. Butung also builds up its infrastructure.
 * Ethiopia continues to expand its military, economy, and infrastructure, and those of the vassals. The colonies of Dähnnät and Täsfa are expanded by 350 km, the colony of Borona is expanded by 1100 km, and the colony of Msraq Qäsärä is expanded by 2600 km. Development of the national ideology of plural-continentalism continues, and the expansion of the ethnic Ethiopian population in the empire continues, especially with the shrinking of the non-Ethiopian populations. The construction of factories and high-maintenance facilities begins in Ethiopia as the power of industrialization begin to kick in. Third year of the Ajuuraan Sultanate begins.
 * Kingdom of the Netherlands: Are organized armies and guerrilla groups to defend Amsterdam. The enemy armies are attacked tirelessly to stop their advance into Dutch territory. A feeling of patriotism spreads throughout the country. Meanwhile, the King hurries sending a huge contingent of Congolese troops to liberate European territories. And by the end of the year, defenders have moral at the top, and more than ready.The huge Dutch fleet continue blocking all possible trade routes and establishes a rigorous blockade of the Baltic Sea and British Isles and every colony, not allowing any ship that is supporter of the false emperor, out to sea. Argentium colony expands 4000 km north. Chile colony expands the north coast 2000 km. Acech-Pasai, under the control of Netherlands, continue negotiations with Minangkabau and Pagaruyang, in this way uniting the kingdoms into one unified state.
 * Oldeburg, Liege, Acech-Pasai, Kongo, Dutch Persia, Iceland, Cleves send help. Kongo expands 10,000 sq km inland.

1758
'''General Becker's successor, the incompetent General Dietrich oversees the rebuilding of the Rhinish invasion line of France. But due to blunders and a German-Welsh invasion of the Rhinish naval bases in western Luxembourg, General Dietrich's front collapses as the French win more territory. The slightly more competent General Luther abandons his invasion of Switzerland to help General Dietrich keep the French at bay, which allows the Swiss to push into Sundgau slightly. Things get worse on the French front for the Rhinish forces as the ethnic French peasants of Luxembourg rise up in rebellion asking for France to come and annex them into France to make their lands truly French once more.'''

'''Meanwhile, the young Gerneral Kossack's victories forces General Ooter to stop his invasion of Bavaria and he also is forced to send troops to help out General Dietrich. The Munich invasion force withdraws back to the Rhinish line. The Rhinish forces also are defeated in the siege of Amsterdam, and several other smaller Dutch victories destroy Rhinish General Paulineus' army, leaving General Dechzlofz who was leading the invasion of Cleves in charge of the entire Dutch front. As Dechzlofz tries to reorganise his forces to attempt to besiege Amsterdam, a large Cleves-Dutch army launches a surprise attack destroying Dechzlofz's Cleves invasion army.'''

Conversely, Emperor Strellok's own army in the east wins more victories this year and form an alliance with the Annists, allowing Strellok's vanguard to move in and start taking over Anhalt, while Strellok's main army leading the march to Berlin capture Magdeburg and aim to reach Berlin by next year.

The Royal Academy of Sciences continues its research to include the study of human anatomy, despite the conflict, a great many strides have been made to understand the body. St. Marie Hospital hears from the Reichstag and is given permission to spearhead an updated and improved hospital system. After General Kossack's success, the Usurper's remaining forces in Bavaria are decimated and scattered, easily getting picked off by the Royal Army. Kossack orders a counter attack deep into the Rhineland in attempt to take the city of Dusseldorf, arriving at the city gates by late August, a seige begins. The Reichstag returns to Munchen after several years in exile. The Chancellor travels to Dusseldorf with the main army and actually personally takes command of the 2nd Artillery, being a General himself before. Artillery begins to shell Strellock lines.
 * Far too early to attack Dusseldorf, that won't happen for another three years ~Von

The construction of factories and high-maintenance facilities begins in Ethiopia as the power of industrialization continues. The fourth year of the vassalization of the Ajuuraan Sultanate begins.
 * The Mayan Empire continues trade with European colonies and the Lakota. Air furnaces shipped in from European nations begin to arrive in the southern part of the Empire. Chorotega and Boruca quickly become trade hubs and industrial leaders. Agricultural techniques are copied from Europe, and quickly begin use in the larger farming provinces. Trade through North Maori and New Ceatl continues, allowing for more trade with Asian nations. Trade offer is still open Italy (by way of Australia). Infrastructure in Zapotec continues to be updated. The colony of Halakin continues trading with the nations in Atlantia, especially Brandenburg. The Juun family continues setting up schools.

Money is invested in regional projects to promote wealth and business. Middle class families continue rising to prominence in some of the more wealthy provinces, as well as some of the less wealthy provinces. Greater Kaliforno expands 5150 km and Haven expands 3100 km.
 * I started industrializing two years early because I will not be here for the next few days, so I will not be able to post it on the actual date. I hope this is okay. CourageousLife (talk) 00:56, July 10, 2013 (UTC)

More rifles are built.
 * UMSHM: The military begins a large counterattack in an attempt to regain Western Magdeburg and Hesse. General Farburg's division manages to lift the seige of Magdeburg and take back much of Western Magdeburg, to the jubilation of the subjects. The situation in Anhalt requires a division to stay on the border, effectively halting the advance for the year. Saxon West Africa expands 1000 sq km inland along the Northern frontier, and Saint Boniface expands 1000 sq km towards Saint Thomas. Kassel University, despite being in occupied territory, has managed to keep its telescopes safe, and some diehard professors continue their observations. (By the way, Saxon scientists will discover two of Uranus/Baldr's moons after the war. I will call them Forseti and Nanna, after the son and wife of Baldr.)
 * It should be called by a Greek name, as historically, the astronomical community would not accept non-Greco-Roman names for celestial objects.
 * Confederation of the Rhine Government in Exile: Another loyalist regiment is raised, partially from loyal settlers from Rhinish Guinea. In that colony, the government-in-exile is able to run things as normal.
 * Primatial Magdeburg: The Primate, currently in exile in Saint Boniface, is impressed with the colony, which started as a mission barely a century ago. He inspects  the church schools, and leads a mass praying for the deliverance of Catholicism from Strellok. His Eminence makes a short trip to the Aru Islands and meets with the now-Catholic King of Tanimbarkai.
 * Anhalt: The civil war occurs at a subdued pace. Since Strellok's assistance has not arrived, the Annist generals don't take much initiative and only engage in some minor skirmishes with the loyalists. The pretender is smuggled over the border via Strellokian-held territory, and he sends a personal letter to Strellok asking for help.
 * Cyprus continues to expand its economy. Nea Lefkosia is expanded by 1500 sq km, Nea Larnaka is expanded by 1500 sq km and Nea Lemesos is expanded by 1500 sq km.
 * The Arabian Federation expands its colonies with the Zanj coast colony expanding 4100 sq km inland and the newly founded New Oman colony 4000 sq km inland as the colony is now really popular with settlers. The Federation also builds up its military to prepare for the Federation's latest war of colonial expansion.
 * The Levantine Kingdom builds up its economy as colonial expansion continues, with the New Syria colony expanding 2500 sq km inland and Nusantara expanding 2100 sq km deeper into Sulawesi Island. King Joshua continues to promote education and sends military forces to Venice which will then march from Venice to Bavaria to help the Levant's German allies fight off Strellok.
 * The Arabian Caliphate builds up its economy as education is improved in the Caliphate. The Al-Khalil colony expands 1000 sq km northward, too. Emir Mohammed of Najran organizes a meeting with the Sheik council of the Caliphate and the Federation to discuss issues concerning the personal union agreement.
 * The Sultanate of Baghdad builds up its economy as the Ministry of Agriculture spreads new agricultural ideas and sells fertilizers to farmers as well. The Royal Scientific continues research on chemicals and the Ministry of Industry is established to help increase the Sultanate's productivity and economic output, mainly using the newly invented air furnaces.
 * The Sultanate of Kuwait builds up its economy and the nation gets more modern education like neighbouring Baghdad. Sultan Faisal II is pleased with the air furnances and orders some to help build a new armoured naval ship.
 * The Maldives builds up its economy as the Foalhavahi colony allows many poor people to start a new life in the new territories.Comchellak,_1757.png
 * The Republic of Comchellak builds up its economy as the 18 Sheikdom states are economically integrated and the various ethnic native groups start to become very friendly towards one another, meaning the Republic is a very stable place compared to what it used to be. This includes the union of the old Sheikdoms of Mehallak and Combuz into the new Sheikdom of Seselwa.
 * Switzerland: Our forces make an all out attack on Sandgau and capture it and hire raiders to harass the Strassburg border. Forces are stationed on the Sandgau-Loraine and Sandgau-Strassburg borders. The military continues to train and grow, thus soldiers are stationed on the Swiss-Strassburg border. The education system continues to grow with military academies being built.
 * Russian borders prepare for possible invasion, as military readiness is amped up, in case the Usurper decides that Russia is his next target. The school system is built up. Russian Science advance has a great year, as Russian military scientists develop a quick-fire battery, a great innovation for artillery. several are ordered built. And the Licorne artillery is developed as well. Many ordered built as militarization continues in preparation for invasion of the Usurper's lands or the usurper's invasion of Russia, whichever comes first. Oxygen is discovered as the principal cause of combustion, ending the phlogiston theory, and a Russian, Anton Shevchenko, builds the world's first Electrometer. All in all, the Natsionalnoe Otrkitie scientific journal had a hard time keeping up with current events!
 * Prūsiskan Protektorat: Konigsberg Steel begins to move into heavy production as the government funds the expansion of Peter Jaeger's workforce, a large factory on the outskirts of the city is planned and begins construction. Prussia offers to sell some of its Konigsberg Steel in various forms to its allies in the War of the Usurper. Tax laws close the gap that has to be filled with money from the nobles' pockets, a new tax law concerning property is introduced angering Junkers. Preachers are paid to convert the Catholic Populace to the Germanic Church in Konigsberg and the surrounding area. A new educational law is proposed in the Adligenrat, as part of the move to industrialise, establishing protectorate schools (state schools) are part of the proposed legislation, the law is accepted. The first signs of trouble concerning other nobles and Junkers wanting to have a place in government appear. In the War of the Usurper, the 2000 Prussian troops rally towards Saxon forces in Anhalt joining up to assist in offensive moves in the next year (feel free to take control of my troops when this occurs, just if something goes wrong, don't kill them all :O). (economic turn).
 * The Ministry of Commerce of Bavaria offers to pay for large sums of steel to aid in the war effort.
 * Shipping will begin immediately upon payments (a few thousand will arrive for next year although the order will be completed by 1760).
 * Kingdom of the Netherlands: After the huge victory the Dutch troops and Cleves remains on the offensive to expel of the country any invading force. A part of the army march south to assist the French in the liberation of Luxembourg. Meanwhile, with the support of the Congolese re-inforcements, begin the first battles against the armies of the Emperor Stellok to release Limberg and Cologne. The huge Dutch fleet continue blocking all possible trade routes and establishes a rigorous blockade of the Baltic Sea and British Isles and every colony, not allowing any ship that is supporter of the false emperor, out to sea. Argentium colony expands 4000 km north. Chile colony expands the north coast 2000 km. Acech-Pasai, under the control of Netherlands, continue negotiations with Minangkabau and Pagaruyang, in this way uniting the kingdoms into one unified state.
 * Too fast, you're only just pushing them out of the Netherlands, Limberg and Cologne can be attacked in 1560 though ~Von
 * Ok.
 * Oldeburg, Liege, Acech-Pasai, Kongo, Dutch Persia, Iceland, Cleves send help. Kongo expands 10,000 sq km inland.
 * Normandy: As being a part of the French Confederation, Normandy aids France in the war by sending military supplies. Benin and Mogadishu expand 10,000 sq km. The Hudson Bay Colony expands 5000 sq km. The military and economy advance.
 * Mali: Mali expands 10,000 sq km. to the SE. Gabu, Mossi, and Wolof expand the military and economy.
 * Wales:  is in a war with Strellok which is now seen as the Welsh government's way of gaining a spot in the European share of powers. Fawr Brythoneg, which means "Great Brython", catches on even more in Wales, and the idea is brought up in the Parliament, receiving large-scale support. Prime Minister Alun Islwyn writes what he calls his final book in the Brythonic Trilogy,  Nac Rhagor Gororau  (No More Borders). It follows  Fy Gadarn Alban  ( My Strong Albion ) and  Un Pobl Celtaidd  ( One Celtic People ). King Arthur II continues to manuever his navy against Strellok. His son, Prince Evan II, is named regent, and begins to plan for a luxurious wedding with the young Queen of the Palatinate. Population continues to grow. The Welsh invading forces of around 100,000 continues to make progress in Luxembourg, and a military governor is established. Evan hopes that Luxembourg will fall under Welsh control following the Strellokian Wars.
 * England, Scotland, Ireland, and Brittany  grow their militaries and economies. Population growing policies remain in place, and Welsh culture continues to make a lot of progress in its continued spread. Fawr Brythoneg is discussed in the Parliament. The WTC oversees the expansion of De Mor Tir 3000 sq km, as Tulpung yr Aber also grows 3000 sq km. The  Welsh Royal Coast  and  Morocco  grow their economies and militaries.  New South Wales  grows its economy and military, as Maori Catholicism continues to spread. The  Chono Haruwin  continues to convert to Christianity, and expands 10,000 sq km south towards the Miyako colony. In addition, they contact the Huarpe people, and convince some of them to join the Haruwin. Full integration is expected in about three years.


 * ​ The   WTC  offers to sell Caer Anial to the   Arabian Federation . We ask $10,000,000. This will not include Reunion or Mauritius.


 * All the Germanic states expand their militaries. Most of the army is diverted into protecting Berlin. Neu Berlin expands by 4500 sq km along the French colony and Vinland expands 4500 sq km west to border Neu Berlin. The Kaiser issues a massive bounty for anyone who can kill Strellok and some of Europe's best assassins go after him. Large amounts of Konigsberg steel are bought and used. A Swedish astronomer, oblivious to the Bavarian finding of "Baldr" finds the same planet and names it Caelus, the Roman god and father of Saturn.
 * Propaganda is pumped all around the nation, telling workers to work harder and faster as their future lies with them. A large sense of patriotism is also born and thousands join the army. Investigations into heat continue as industry is constructed all around the nation. Many scientists continue to work in the biological field. Dissection continues to increase knowledge of events in the human body. All around the nation, more and more children are surviving into their teenage years. The SOC continues ferrying the settlers into Amazonia. Uttarshina is expanded by 4100 km by immigrants coming into the colony, and companies flourish as housing is built and roads are expanded to cover all three colonies. The SOC continously states that the lands in South America are rightfully ours and should be returned. The nation begins to get ready for war, and this is accompanied by the recent propaganda taking hold. Thousands enroll and are trained heavily to be part of an efficient killing machine. The nation continues to amp up their military, with the mood being that a war is coming and it might be able to finally give the people of the nation something to be proud of. A large number of air furnaces are made in ammunition factories to help build up the military. Bhutan, Kamapura and Dahod continue to expand their economies as trading with the Maharajya helps create growth. Much migration also begins to take place between Orissa and the vassals. Brunei's economy grows significantly and is useful for trading. With the situation growing worse for nations in the area, the NOC begins making a lot of money as both sides require ammunition and weapons, with the NOC selling these to great profit.
 * Rajputana expands its army heavily, and Naya Punjab grows by 4100 km. Sindustan amps up on its army. The Khmers expand their economy, so do Mataram and Brunei. The puppet state of Naya Bihar expands by 10,000 km inland and they build up their economy. Many Orissans begin to settle in Naya Bihar, which as a puppet state has more freedom than the colonies. Naya Bihar's economy grows. Butung also builds up its infrastructure.
 * The Great Haruwin of the Selk'nam: The military and economy continue to expand, but rumors consistently circualate about Great Cheif Ge Hong's health, as he is not seen in public at all for the first four months of the year and most functions are attended to by Prime Minister Pius and  Ge Hong's nephew Laozi Ctl'ich. John Chongat rants about the government becoming parlayzed and Laozi being set up at the next in a "heathen" Taoist dynasty. Seeing as he thinks his time has come to strike, he leads a riot in Ona Yagich that succeeds in taking a tower in the wall of the city, he declares himself as King John and demands that all Royalists attack Ona Yagich and "expel the rotting monkey Ge Hong, his puppet Pius, and the little monkey Laozi". Most of the chiefs from the Eastern part of the island of Selk'nam Yagich respond to his call and a small force attacks the capital. However, Ge Hong's preatorian guard hold off the attack on the palace, while loyalist wariors from Miyako Yagich soon arrive and crush the rebellion. John Chongat is captured alive, tried for treason, and sentenced to hang. Great Chief Ge Hong orders that, until his execution, Chongat be forced to live not in the palace dungeon, but in the pen where Ge Hong's granddaughter keeps her five trained monkeys (no fashionable Ona Yagich girl of the 1750s would DARE be caught in public without a fashionable monkey on her shoulder). Ge Hong dies three days after the execution and Pius is elected Great Chief in his place.
 * Infuriated by the refusal on Ge Hong's part to accept the Welsh terms, Prince Evan II of Wales, the regent for his father Arthur II, announces to Pius that he expects 10,000 km of Selk'nam land from the Teushen people to be added to the Welsh boundaries. (This is our bad leader. He will be overthrown relatively soon, but he is hotheaded and may declare war.)
 * Pius makes arrangements for Chongat's remains to be exhumed, and sent to De Mor Tir with an official notice of extradition and a personal note saying, "now that we have brought him under our control, feel free to do what you wish with him." He also notes that the Teushen land is not his to give and that he must make contact wiith local chiefs. Emissaries are sent to the Mononobe Shogunate to request an alliance in the event of a Welsh attack.
 * The Germanic Empire declares full support for the Selk'nam in case of a Welsh attack and tells them to give up no land.
 * King Arthur II receives wind of his son's threat and immeadiately removes him from the position of regent, in favor of Prime Minister Alun Islwyn. He apologizes to Chief Ge Hong, and wishes to repair any damage done by his son. He announces that Wales, De Mor Tir, or the Chono Haruwin have no intention to harm their Selk'nam allies.

1759
'''Generals Dietrich, Ooter and Luther join forces as they lose control of the southern, western and southeastern fronts. The two General's forces meet in Metz to regroup and to prepare a counter-attack against the French and Bavarian armies. General Dechzlofz is pushed out of the Netherlands and withdraws to Munster.'''

Bavarian General Kossack pushes Rhinish forces out of southwestern Bavaria and also manages to capture Strasbourg, which lacking its own independent government, asks to be annexed by Bavarian forces to protect themselves from being recaptured the Rhinish armies.

'''The French native rebels in western Luxembourg continue revolting and praising their French liberators. They continue to ask to become part of France itself as the current war shows how little their German rulers care for them. A similar situation happens in Lorraine, as the former Lorraine government returns to regain control of Lorraine. This reformed government includes members of the largely murdered government of Bar and the remaining rulers of Bar ask Lorraine if they can join to form a single nation of Lorraine. The two sides agree and the new large Lorraine asks France for protection and offer their nation to France to become a vassal.'''


 * This is possibly the most BS mod event I have ever read. The French have done little to nothing in regards of liberating Luxembourg, whereas a vast part of Welsh and German forces combined have retaken the coast. The French natives are outnumbered by Germans 85-15. 

'''Emperor Strellok's main army begins to be cut off in Wolfsburg as Brandenburg pushes into Strellok's lines from the north and the siege of Magdeburg seemingly lost, Strellok decides to abandon this advance before his main force is cut off and he begins to withdraw his forces back to Hannover to regroup. However some of his army is sent to support Carl-Johann's Annist forces before Strellok and the Annists are cut off from each other.'''
 * Portugal, León, Castille, Aragon, Navarra and Granada prepare their militaries. Meanwhile in León, Fernando Alfonso de Lara, Prince of Asturias, is married to Beatriz de Távora, daughter of Luís VI Álvares de Távora, Marchess of Távora in Portugal. Meanwhile, in Castille, the canal is still being built. Meanwhile, Sofala expands 500 sq km, and Loanda also expands 500 sq km. Meanwhile in Brasil, Maranhão expands 4300 sq km and Itatim expands 4200 sq km.
 * Ethiopia expands its military, economy and infrastructure, and does the same for all of its vassals. The Ajuuraan Sultanate is vassalized by the Ethiopian Empire, and the standard ceremony of welcoming the vassal into the greater empire commences. The colonies of Dähnnät and Täsfa are expanded by 350 km, the colony of Borona is expanded by 1100 km, and the colony of Msraq Qäsärä is expanded by 2600 km. Major industrial facilities are brought on-line by the Ethiopian merchant class, which is pleased to present to the Emperor and court goods and items produced in the many factories being established throughout Ethiopia. The expansion of the Ethiopian population continues to eclipse those of the non-Ethiopian populations. The development of plural-continentalism begins to show its fruitage with more and more Ethiopians and subject vassal population stating they are Ethiopians either by blood or by citizenships, showing the vast expanses between the empire and its far-flung territories mean little as the empire grows closer together as a nation.
 * Wales is in a war with Strellok which is now seen as the Welsh government's way of gaining a spot in the European share of powers. Prince Evan II calls all European leaders (notably the ones named on the Talk Pages) to the Congress of Avalon. When a number of leaders have already shown up, he publicly weds the Queen of the Palatinate and Mainz, Inga Schmecklinberg. The couple had been seeing each other since the beginning of the Strellokian Wars when she went into exile to Avalon. The proposal in Parliament for Fawr Brythoneg passes. Integration of all vassal states in Europe is expected in under three years. Wales is renamed to Great Brython. Alun Islwyn is knighted Sir Alun Islwyn for his heroic work in creating Brython, especially through his Brythonic Trilogy. He is considered the equivalent of Mervyn Gwilym or Rafael, but for politics. Work on a new national anthem begins, and it is expected to be called Fy Gadarn Brythoneg, a play on Islwyn's  My Strong Albion  book. (More to come once the Mod event is released.)
 * England, Scotland, Ireland, and Brittany  grow their militaries and economies. Population growing policies remain in place, and Welsh culture continues to make a lot of progress in its continued spread. Fawr Brythoneg is passed in the Parliament. Integration is expected in three years or less. The WTC oversees the expansion of De Mor Tir 3000 sq km, as Tulpung yr Aber also grows 3000 sq km. The  Welsh Royal Coast  and  Morocco  grow their economies and militaries.  New South Wales  grows its economy and military, as Maori Catholicism continues to spread. The  Chono Haruwin  continues to convert to Christianity, and expands 10,000 sq km south towards the Miyako colony. In addition, they contact the Huarpe people, and convince some of them to join the Haruwin. Full integration is expected in about two years.


 * ​ The   WTC  offers to sell Caer Anial to the   Arabian Federation . We ask $10,000,000. This will not include Reunion or Mauritius.


 * The Arabian Federation agrees to buy Caer Anial's Madagascan territories for $10,000,000 (or whatever since US dollars are non-existant in this timeline).
 * The WTC offers a trade deal to: Italy, Portugal, Saxony, Brandenburg, Prussia, and Bavaria.
 * Prussia Accepts and offers for a Welsh ambassador to visit the nation for a few years to explore further diplomatic possibilities.
 * Sir Alun Islwyn of Brython sends Ambassador Neirin Hughs to lead a consulate in Konigsberg.


 * Cyprus continues to expand its army and navy.  Nea Lefkosia is expanded by 1500 sq km, Nea Larnaka is expanded by 1500 sq km and Nea Lemesos is expanded by 1500 sq km.
 * Crete continues to expand its army and navy.
 * Cyrenaica expands 10,000 sq km into the desert.
 * Myanmar: Myanmar Afrika expands by 1000 sq km. Myanmar Oceania expands by 1000 sq km. Urbanization continues using the lumber in Northern Myanmar. The 28th to 31st improved wooden sawmills are built in Northern Myanmar, with a production of 100 kg lumber daily. The 47th and 51st iron workshops are built in Southern Myanmar. More rifles are built.
 * Prūsiskan Protektorat: The factory continues construction while Konigsberg Steel production goes up. Taxes finally start to cover government expenses although the Junkers are now considering demanding elections for the Adligenrat. The Germanic Church spreads in the city of Konigberg. The first protectorate schools open in the capital, taking in large swathes of Konigsberg children and teaching them about the sciences, mathematics and literature as well as discretely indoctrinating them into the Germanic Church. (Saxony gets to control my 2000 troops for its movements in Anhalt). After receiving intelligence about the rekindling of nationalist and anti-Prussian tendencies in Lithuania, the 8000 remaining troops of the Nawan Protektorat Armee are placed along the Prusso-Lithuanian border. Small wooden offensive forts are established on the border in preparation for a defence or a pre-emptive attack. (economic turn)
 * UMSHM: The year's conscripts are called up, and another massive-scale counterattack into Magdeburg is begun. A large diplomatic delegation is sent to Avalon to take part in the Congress there. The kindly-supplied Prussian units are put to good use in Anhalt, and the King-Duke thanks the Prussian monarch profusely. Saxon West Africa expands 1000 sq km inland along the Northern border, and Rhinish guinea continues to be occupied, in conjunction with the Loyalist Confederal administration there.
 * Confederation of the Rhine Government in Exile: Upon hearing of the suggestions to divvy up the confederation at war's end, the exiled government is saddened, but not surprised. Its two regiments continue to fight on the front, and Rhinish Guinea continues to be administered by them.
 * Anhalt: With Strellokian troops within Anhalt's borders, the civil war begins in earnest. A few major battles and many smaller skirmishes are fought between the Annists and Loyalists. The Annist pretender, Carl-Johann, sets up a capital in the North-West of the country: strongly-Annist and under Strellokian occupation.
 * Italia and Yugoslavia send troops to help the Kingdom of Saxony. Urbanization continues in Southern and Western Italia at a rapid pace especially in the port cities of Naples, Palermo and Genoa. Venice begins to make a name for itself in tourism for the upper class, education and naval construction in some of the further islands with the lagoon's sheltered and settled condition proving to be perfect for shipbuilding. Large scale use of the waterwheel continues to occur in the Italian heartlands - especially around Florence. Scientists from across Europe flock to witness the almost constant public demostrations and experiments at the University of Venice in the field of chemistry. Meanwhile, the University of Milan and the University of Istria continue to lead in the study of human anatomy with near daily dissections much to the displeasure of the local populace.

'''With rebellions happening all over Strellok's Empire, he orders many rebel politicians to be killed such as the government of Munster, Limberg and Metz. This however does little to stop the peasant revolts happening across the Confederation. With his main southern army cut off in Metz as the Siege of Metz begins, Strellok retreats back to Bielefeld, and in the  he formulates a plan. He brings all of his loyalist forces who aren't cut off in Metz to Bielefeld to prepare for his last stand.'''

'''These retreats to Metz and Bielefeld allows the allied forces to capture large parts of the Rhine Confederation and allows governments such as Luxembourg, Cologne, Berg, Palatinate and Mainz to reform and return back to power over their own realms. Indebted to the rest of the German Union, France and the Netherlands, they see that reforming the Rhine Confederation as it used to be not as a real option, especially as word of the talks of dividing the Rhine Confederation reaches their ears.  Lacking their former governments to rule them, Sundgau is annexed into France and Limberg into Luxembourg.'''
