Game starts on August 20th, if we have eight players. Whipsnade (talk) 22:03, August 14, 2014 (UTC)

Idea
I am building a new game on or about August 1st, with play commencing about the August 20th. It is The 1848 game (Map game). I have planned for new AvAr style game, but in mid-Victorian times.

LG had reasonably claimed of a forum that the Confederacy was doomed so I thought of this game circa one month ago and may end up proving him wrong about the Confederates? :-) Can you make Texas great or lead the Confederacy to victory in ~1861? Rip zip and Mexico may lose a province? Because it's an alternative history site Texas just managed to ATL hold on (it's 1848, but they are as in the closing days of 1846).

My 1848 game would also have an all new algo.

Economics, infrastructure and trade play a role in it, too.

It has a new style algo, too.

Scenario.
' It is starting in the year 1848! '

Also see- Scenario (The 1848 Game Map Game)

Start date.
Game starts on August 20th, if over eight nations are taken!Whipsnade (talk) 17:28, August 1, 2014 (UTC)

Style

 * 1) American Civil War technology level.
 * 2) Realism (real life) style.

Mod Rules

 * 1) Mods must be plausible in their mod events and must not target any particular nation.
 * 2) Carving large empires is NOT a cause for mod targeting, unless it is implausible.
 * 3) Mods may be voted out of their mod-ness with a popular vote from any user, supported by 50% all players, if the mod is unfair to players.

​General

 * 1) Every 30 turns, an archive page should be created to store the game's progress. This will ensure that when the game gets very long, people don't have to scroll down for an hour, or wait for 100 images to down-load.
 * 2) Be plausible, so no major ASB-ness allowed. No hyper-development, no hyper-conquest, no wizards, no little green men from Mars and no nuclear Armageddon (i.e.: Mongolia will not launch Genghis Khan into space in 1240 AD on my watch)!
 * 3) Turns are one turn a day. One turn = one year in the game until 1900 and then one turn = six months in the game after that.
 * 4) Definitely NO sockpuppets!!!
 * 5) I am going to limit the nations because when a person gets two countries; they usually neglect one.
 * 6) The Golden Rule: Treat others as you want to be treated... is not it! Still, you must be plausible.
 * 7) No one can invade either neutral and mod controlled- Switzerland (since going OTL neutral in the 1840's), The Vatican City (after OTL neutralite independence in 1922), Lichtenstein (since going OTL neutral in the 1860's) or Bhutan (after OTL neutralite independence from the UK in 1947).
 * 8) It will take at least three years to develop nukes if you are one of the “Big Cheese”. It takes after four if you’re not a “Big Cheese” nation, but are a well developed industrial nation.
 * 9) No nuke tech before 1944, though nuke research can begin after 1936.
 * 10) No space tech before 1950, though nuke research can begin after 1937.
 * 11) You need a Casus Belli or a carefully faked up one (Hitler did it in OTL to Poland) before declaration of a war.
 * 12) Mods' words are law, unless proven wrong. They can strike out implausibility. However, the reason must be stated and sourced (i.e.-Wikipedia, the BBC, CNN, ITN, NHK, Encyclopedia Britannica, and so on).
 * 13) 1/2 a game year per real day.
 * 14) Research your nation on sites like- Wikipedia, the BBC, CNN, ITN, NHK, Encyclopedia Britannica, and so on.
 * 15) Make a nation's data profile on the game's National Profile page to add some character and depth to the game.
 * 16) You can be a rebelling colony or vassal, but you must declare UDI and give reason for declaring it (race, religion, colonial neglect, economics, and so on) Playing as a colony or vassal is forbidden, unless you say you have made it become independent by declaring UDI or rebelling against the colonial powers.
 * 17) As for nuke use, It has been oft abused. Each nation can only let off a maximum of ten a year with a total yield of 500 kt, for each nation per year.
 * 18) Game is archived every 20 years/30 turns.
 * 19) Assassinations and oil embargoes are legitimate weapons of war, too.
 * 20) The League of Nations will be formed in 1918 or after our 1st World War, whichever is sooner. We will have international resolutions/stuff here For the selection of impermanent Security Council members and the votes of non-player nations, a mod will decide every turn with Random.org.
 * 21) Don't do drugs while online.
 * 22) Must be registered User (got a named account, not just an IP number) to join.
 * 23) Expansion in extreme climates like Greenland, Niger, Nepal and Amazonia will be very slow due to logistic and climate problems for any wood-be invader.
 * 24) Puppet states, vassal nations and protectorates can be created. Places can be vassalized after five years of successful occupation. Vassals can be peacefully annexed after 10 if they are ethnically and religiosity the same as the suzerain state that wishes to annex them, otherwise they will remain as vassals and shall fight formal annexation.
 * 25) New turns start at 20:00:01 UTC.
 * 26) Anyone who is less than a primary power can not use terrorism to destroy heads of government or state, kill top generals or to blow up seats of government.
 * 27) If there is anything else, post on the talk page.

Vassal Rules

 * 1) Unless the vassal can provide real military aid to a country, it cannot be used in an algorithm. For example, OTL Romania and Poland can provide military assistance to the USSR, but OTL Tannu Tuva and Grenada ain't gonna help much, so use your head!
 * 2) Vassals may declare war instead of the actual master nation.
 * 3) Places can be vassalized after five years of successful armed occupation.
 * 4) Vassals can be peacefully annexed to their occupier after ten years if they are ethnically and religiosity the same as the suzerain state that wishes to annex them, otherwise they will remain as vassals and shall fight a formal annexation plan.

Technical stuff

 * 1) Maintain the bit rate of the base map image. Saving images in a lower quality format or at a lower bit rate and thus results in graining and other issues that make it difficult to edit the future image. Save as a .PNG as the format tends to maintain the image quality the best. Also, every image editor now has a text tool. Using a paintbrush or pencil tool for labels is both ugly and now unnecessary.
 * 2) Edit the game in Source Mode. Editing in visual mode and creating code problems may result in your edits being undone or full of garbled data.
 * 3) Research your nation. If you choose any country, you should at least Google about it, OTL history, religion, culture, language and so on. ATL can change many thing; but stuff like mountains, oil fields and monsoons will stay constant until they are destroyed by man. After you make some back-story events in early moves you can start ruling it in your way.
 * 4) I keep going to keep a close eye on any trouble.

Algorithm
See- War Algorithm (The 1848 game Map Game).


 * War Algorithm: Wars are resolved with the War Algorithm.
 * Note: Trade, infrastructure, blockades and sanctions are also going to play a part in the new war algo.
 * Simple maths: Troop numbers are related to population numbers. The Russian army is currently at ~1,500,000 and the population is at ~145,000,000. The population of Mongolia is ~2,000,000 and the armed forces number 25,000. Get it?
 * International decisions: You can't just say like "I hand ultimatum to Russia, they must join union with Poland or be crushed. They accept", well you can, but I'll delete it. No one, except mods can decide for non-player countries (NPC). Furthermore, mods must explain the decision that was made- i.e. Russia declines offer because of recent wars with your nation.

Terrorist and rebel organisation rules

 * 1) Any nation can create a proxy terrorist (OTL- IRA, etc) or rebel militia (OTL UNITA, etc) organisation.
 * 2) Terrorists do not give any advantage in terms of algorithms, but rebel armies add 1 point to the side that they are loyal to.

1849

 * France issues Ceres, the nation’s first postage stamp.
 * The Second Carlist War ends in Spain.
 * Second Anglo-Sikh War – British forces retreat from the Battle of Tooele and there are many casualties on both sides. Later, the Sikh Empire finally collapses from within as in OTL. 
 * Elizabeth Blackwell is awarded her M.D. by the Medical Institute of Geneva, New York, thus becoming the United States first woman doctor.
 * The United States Department of the Interior is established, incorporating the Census Office, General Land Office, Office of Indian Affairs and Patent and Trademark Office. Minnesota becomes a United States territory. The United States Congress passes the Gold Coinage Act allowing the minting of gold coins. Zachary Taylor refuses to be sworn in office on a Sabbath. Urban legend holds that David Rice Atchison, President pro tempore of the United States Senate is President de jure for a single day. Zachary Taylor, the 12th President of the United States of America, takes his oath of office a day later. The St. Louis Fire starts when a steamboat catches fire and nearly burns down the entire city. The first segment of the Pennsylvania Railroad, from Lewiston to Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, opens for service. The North Carolina General Assembly incorporates the North Carolina Railroad to complete a rail line from Goldsboro through Raleigh and Salisbury to Charlotte.
 * Giuseppe Garibaldi enters Rome to defend it from the French troops of General Oudinot. New French troops occupy Rome; the Roman Republic surrenders.
 * The ill-fated May Uprising in Dresden occurs.
 * Troops of the Two Sicilies take Palermo and crush the republican government of Sicily.
 * The Danish Army beats the Prussian army at Fredericia, Jutland, thereby putting an end to the Prussian/Danish War until 1864.
 * Austria crushes the Hungarian rebellion with Russian aid (if they wish). Venice (AKA- the Republic of San Marco) surrenders to Austrian troops after a four-month siege.
 * A Russian court sentences Fyodor Dostoevsky to death for anti-government activities linked to a radical intellectual group, the Petrashevsky Circle. They are exiled to the katorga prison camps in Siberia.
 * The great California gold rush which began on January 24, 1848 and still continues; but in this world it is still in Mexico.
 * Republic of Yucatán rejoins Mexico, a year later than OTL.


 * British Empire: The BIC takes over the Sikh Empire as in OTL, but does not break it up, so it remains one united princely state under British rule (as long as Sikhs and Moslims are united the more likely the will hate each other than the British). We are merciful and give them autonomy on a par with what Nepal had after the OTL/ATL Anglo-Nepalese war ~30 years earlier. We watch the Afghans, Ashanti, Boers and Burmese closely. Friendly relations continue with Nepal and Portugal, who we value as allies. We build more factories in British cities and make more efficient cotton farms in British held parts of India.
 * The Boer Republic: Asks to acquire the isolated land around OTL Durban, in return the Boer Republic will offer cheap deals on food to the British military stationed in the region and will offer a five-year NAP.
 * British Empire Diplomacy: Agreed with caution. We also turn our eyes to opportunity in the west over in Bushman-land and Koikoi-land.
 * Prussian Dip: A royal envoy led by Prince Frederick von Hohenzollern (under the influence of his mother, in the hopes of him becoming more liberal) is sent to Britian and it requests permission to remain in Britain for the time being.
 * British re: Cautiously agreed.
 * The United States of America: We expand our military and economy. Zachary Taylor win the election in 1948 to become the 12th president in US history. We start to build a railroad that goes through the major cities of our nation. Cotton and tobacco are our major exports. The navy builds more ships. We start to rebuild St. Louis. We try and make peace with the Native Americans allowing the males to take office and to vote.


 * US Territories: We start to industrialize the land. More military outpost are being built up.
 * Liberia: We build up our navy, military, and economy. Farming is best industry.
 * Pawnee Native People's Dip: Chief Peter Pockawan of a northern Pawnee tribe takes up a pro-peace ticket and starts talks with the local Kansas Territory officials. He asks for a largely autonomous territory in the north of Kansas for his people. They (all 500 of them) wish to retain there ancestral lands and lifestyle in northern Kansas as a vassal of the USA, rather than integrate and become westernized. Other native Americans wish to continue fighting and think he is a twit. (mod)Whipsnade (talk) 23:35, August 20, 2014 (UTC)


 * What does that even mean? Most or all of them are not citizens.
 * On a technical note, they legally need US citizenship and a US passport before voting.
 * Also, most at this time didn't give a crap about voting, they gave a crap about preserving their ancestral lands.

Influencing (Light Blue)]] We divide our army consisting of 100,000 men into four different corps in Mexico: 20,000 within the California territory, 20,000 in Northern Mexico, 20,000 in Central Mexico, and 20,000 in Southern Mexico. We also begin to try and influence the newly formed Texas Republic & smaller Central American nations. We begin allowing peaceful agreements with the natives within our country and also allow fleeing Indians from the USA to allow to settle within Mexico.
 * France: The Second French Revoulution ends, leading to the creation of the Second French Republic. The Republic plans to lean more torward it's colonial possessions, as well as become the economic power of Europe. The French are aware of the growing power of Naples, and vows to protect the Italian states from their harm.
 * French Territories: The creation of the Second Republic is celebrated. All territories that can expand inland.
 * Roman Republic: The Roman Republic is now a French vassal, as troops come in to stabilize the nation. Most of the comoution is blamed on Naples, who are suspected of funding the Roman Republic. Naples citizens and trade ships are seized, and are requested back for ransom.
 * UKSN Diplomacy: We ask for a trade agreement with the Second French Republic to allow for better growth of both of our economies.
 * Duchy of Modena: We build up our army and economy.
 * British Dip: We offer an alliance.
 * Prussia: following an end of the first Slesvig war Prussia is forced to recognize the need for naval power and the need to unite the two parts of the country. Reactionaries lead by Otto von Bismark work to crush the liberal revolution in Berlin and throughout the German States. King Frederick refuses the crown of a united Germany refusing to accept a crown the gutter. However, he makes some concessions with the liberals and revolutionaries creating the first Prussian constitution giving extensive powers to a parliament made up mainly of the landed gentry and capitalists. The Junkers and industrialists start to see each other as natural allies against the prolaterate, and the Conservative party and national liberal party are founded. following the limited success of the needle gun widespread production of the breechloaded rifle begins and military reforms are started in secret with the needle gun and breechloaded cannon being kept as a national secret. Efforts to appraoch the Austrians and Bavarians are made to crush the revolutionaries. mainly out of fear of the spread of revolutionary ideas from 30 years prior.(mod response please). Also, keep in mind OTL that the German princes and monarchs support the suppression the move to suppress the revolutionaries and did so). Industrialization in the Rhineland and in Silesia continue as demands for manufactured goods grow and the urban population also begins to grow. Railways are quickly being built as well throughout the country.
 * Bavaria and Saxony wish that Prussia could help them and welcome it's help if any is given. Austria tries to handle it it's self as in OTL because they are to proud to ask for help and that the Russians had already been asked to suppress the Hungarian rebels. Bavaria, Saxony and Austria delight over the death of the liberals, but offer some minor concessions, as in OTL. The Dresden rising and alike finally collapse. Austria dose not make any compromise and crushes the rebels. The Free Imperial City of Frankfurt makes a few more concessions to Liberals about press freedom as OTL. The liberal Frankfurt Press criteria Prussia vearmitly as Frankfurt's leaders tells Prussia to go away agarly. German nationalist elements begin to demand, like OTL, a unified Germany, especially by 1848 and its revolutions. They were conflicted over the best nation-state to accomplish this, a question that became known as the German question. The "Little Germany" (Kleindeutschland) solution favored Protestant Prussia annexing all the German states except Austria, while "Big Germany" (Grossdeutschland) favored Catholic Austria taking control of the separate German states.
 * Prussian Response: Prussian forces continue to suppress the liberals in Prussian territory and troops are supplied to the German princes to help suppress the Frankfurt parliament and to restore power to the nobles and reactionaries.
 * Frankfurt falls without a fight. The city is overwhelmed, surrenders to Prussia and the Burgomaster-president is removed from power.
 * Prussian Response: Due to the quick fall of Frankfurt the prussian military under the orders of Fredrich-Wilhelm IV offer full amnesty to all liberals and revolutionaries and urge all the other German princes to follow suit, saying that the time for German unification will come eventually however it should not be done based on the ideals of idealists who know little how the ways of power work. The Prussian government also take advantage of the troubles in Austria to claim that Austria can barely handle itself - let alone lead the German people.
 * Boer Republic: We begin to reorganize after the great Voortrekk, with settlments sending out couriers to one another to establish communication, and even a road system between the capital, Pretoria, and Bloemfontein beginsm to be built. We begin forcing the Africans off the most fertile land as we use it for farming, but offer deals to buy the land and offer opportunities to still work the land for pay, but such tactics are only partially succesful and as a result many dead Africans are strewn across the landscape. Northern parts of the Republic are still very savage, disease infested, and inhabited by blacks, and so a small regiment is sent to the North to help isolated settlers, fend off blacks, and also expand and enforce the border by 25 px.
 * Portugal: We celebrate as the Queen and the Government approve the Glorious Ammendment to our Constitution. Reacting to the cries of the rioters in the recent years, there are many changes to the Constitution. First of all, all males over 21 capable of reading are allowed to vote. Primary education is compulsive to all children regardless of gender, race or socioeconomics. Strikes are legalized and regulated so the workers can protest without disturbances. Only a pledge to create party-based elections was unanswered, as political parties are seen as a downfall for democracy. The Portuguese military forces are sent largely to the Upper Zambezi Basin to occupy the area west of Portuguese East Africa. Settlers are sent to Angola to expand the colony east with great land rewards. Also, a reward of several thousand reals and a nobility title to the first Portuguese man to go from Angola to Mozambique through the African interior. Hundrends of men go wishing for gold. The Portuguese military also offers to loan several key military officers to the Brazilian Army to help modernize their forces in exchange of easying conditions for Portuguese investors interested in Brazilian markets. We hope the Brazilian Empire accepts our generous offer. (Mod response, I believe) Our Navy is improved as its budget is aumented to hire of Glasgow, Amsterdam, Boston and Hanover nautical engineers to help modernize our Navy. The mainland Portugal begins heavy industrialization as we wish to embrace the new world trend and not be left poor from the rest of Europe. To do such, the building of a Rail of Lisbon-Santarem-Badajoz (SPAIN) and Lisbon-Oporto are started presided by the new Portuguese Rails Company in the stock market, with the government buying 1/3 of the stocks, a single British investor buying another third and the rest being purchased by stockbuyers. This leads to public fascination about the stock market. We offer to the Boer Republic and the British Empire the chance to dialogue in peace about our intentions in Southern Africa, as Portugal wishes to protect and expands its colonies. We regard both nations as friends and allies and we hope they see that too.
 * Brazil agrees cautiously. 
 * Boer Republic: We would prefer that Portugal not expand westward south of the Zambezi.
 * Portuguese Dip: Boer.png I think we can achieve an agreement peacefully. The borders of Portuguese and Boer claimed lands in the Zambezi region. We propose the following borders - the OTL borders of Mozambique and then following the Zambezi River in the interior until the border with OTL Namibia. We ask the Boer Republic what's their opinion and leave a map for their better perception. We also remember the Boer Republic we see them as allies and we offer a trade alliance, allowing the use of Mozambique ports tax-free if the ships sail to Lisbon with the land richnesses, agricultural products and wood that the Republic extracts.
 * British Dip: We agree. We are after the OTL Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park and intend to drift up the OTL Namibian/Botswana border and in to OTL Namibia.
 * Portuguese Dip: We agree with the British annexation of Namibia if they only let us have the Caprivi Strip in Namibia.
 * British Dip: Agreed.
 * French Diplomacy: The French would like to trade pact with the Portuguese.
 * Portuguese Dip: We accept the French trade pact offer.
 * Mexico: [[File:Mexican_Influence_(1848_Game).png|thumb|185px|Mexico (Dark Blue)


 * Pawnee Native People's Dip: Chief David Ironhorse of a western Pawnee tribe takes up a pro-migration ticket and starts talks with Mexican officials on moving to a remote part of Neauvo Mexico to start a new life for his 500 strong tribe. He asks for a largely autonomous territory in the east for his people. They (all 500 of them) wish to eventualy return to there ancestral lands and still retain thire native lifestyle as a migrated vassal of Mexico, rather than integrate and become westernized quite yet. Other native Americans wish to stay on the ancestral homelands and think he is a twit. (mod)Whipsnade (talk) 23:35, August 20, 2014 (UTC)

'''No sinister or colonial influence over Texas, they don't like Mexico, but frienly relatios are OK. CR and Nicaragua are to far away for effective control until you improve Mexico's leadership and end corrupted economics. The Californian Goldrush is underway, but California is still Mexican, so use the cash to build some roads or ports.'''


 * Russian Empire:  We work on our military. Realizing we are slightly laging behind the western countries, we begin using similar designs to modernize more.   '  Islam in the caucasus begins to shrink as more orthodox influence is focused there
 * Aleskya: More people settle in the coloy with hopes of building new lives, and the town of Sitka, the capital, sees the fastest growth in population.
 * Texas: In the spirit of independence, the government of the Republic of Texas refuses to let Texas merge back into Mexico. We build up our military and economy and ask the United States for diplomatic relations as well as a non-aggression pact between our two nations. We also ask all nations to recognize the newly formed Republic of Texas.
 * Prussian Dip: treading a thinline the prussians give a vague recognition of the texan aspirations for recognition and promise should they survive until the 1860s prussia will recognize the republic. on another note the prussians offer the texans a trade agreement and an unofficial embassy in berlin.
 * Texas Dip: We accept the Prussian trade agreement and to establish an unofficial embassy in Berlin. In return, we ask the Prussians if they want to establish an embassy in Austin.
 * Prussian Dip: The government agrees and establishes an unofficial embassy in Austin.
 * Empire of Brazil: Pedro II of Brazil continues to work on strengthening the economy.There is much growth this year and the economy is estimated to be growing at a rate of roughly 10.5% and production increases dramatically. Several new factories are built along the coast and more roads extending into the amazon are built. Sugar, Cotton Coffee, and Leather are the main exports. Pedro III is born, though the boy is small and sickly he survives the year. A force of 75,000 troops begin an invasion of war-torn Uruguay under the pretense of restoring the peace. Though in reality the motive is recognized to be-retaking land lost in the past. We ask the nations of France, England, Argentina and Paraguay to recognize the validity of our claims and stay either neutral.
 * Algo-Brazil crushes Uruguay.
 * Argentine Dip: We confirm nuetrality, and offer Brazil a Non-Agression Pact. We also ask the the leaders of the Unitarian party,who have been exiled to Uruguay, be returned to Argentina to face trial.
 * Portuguese Dip: We offer the Brazilian Empire an extension of our military loans and we add a trade, political and military alliance. We congratulate the Imperial Family, closely related to the Portuguese Royal Family for the birth of the young Prince.
 * Brazilian Dip: We accept all offers and extend a military alliance to Argentina should Paraguay attack either nation.
 * Morocco: The nation continues to move along, largely left alone by the other powers for the time being. The ruling Aluoite Dynasty continues to relax in the comforts of the country's many palaces. The Sultan's son Muhammad furthers along his mission to reform the armed forces. To do this, he needs to purchase some new weapons from the European powers, and sends out diplomats asking for such weapons. In foreign policy, the Sultan continues to support the armed struggle of the Algerians, yet he does so cautiously, not willing to risk a French invasion. As such, the support is only words rather than troops or weapons.
 * Colombia: With the rising of Conservative and Liberal parties in Colombia the nation begins to see more wants for social reform as well as a larger push for the country to rebuild itself from its Disasters with Gran Colombia. The Nation sees its first forays into an experimental railway along the pacific coast connecting just a few cities. This is expected to be completed after about a years work due to the short length its been considered for. With this the government seeing competition as a necessity within the continent as well as the entire world the nation begins allowing investments into factories such as iron works, cement and other products. Colombia also begins to compete with Mexican influence within central america sending advisors to Costa Rica and Nicaragua using the common relationship shared with these nations to influence them rather than mexicos brute force. Colombia also begins at great cost to itself, influencing Venezuela and Ecuador investing into Colombian owned and built factories within the two states exploiting their weak governments to Colombias advantage. With all this however in order to avoid a civil war, Colombia organizes a national congress to discuss re-evaluating the country and re-organizing it into a Federal republic much like the United States, with a unique Colombian flair to it. The Congress while effective in conveying the need for a Federal system like this does not accomplish this goal and the national congress to reform is scheduled once again for the next year. Colombia also with this begins to expand its armed forces training. With a population of nearly 1.7 million Colombia begins a much more aggressive campaign of literacy in order to keep its population up to speed.
 * United Kingdoms of Sweden and Norway: Another series of economic reforms is passed between the two kingdoms of Sweden and Norway which help to abolish protective tarriff walls to further free trade between the two crowns. A reform is passed that dismantles the entire guild system, paving the way for greater economic entrepreneurship. The economy remains almost entirely agrarian, but the economic trade between the two kingdoms and other nations helps keep the agrarian economy profitable. The annual meetings between the crowns of Norway and Sweden now allow the participation of university students from either country, all of whom greatly support the idea of Scandenavianism.
 * Argentine Confederation: This year is focused on internal stablization, with the various nations of the confederacy working on improving there economies. A program to improve the military begins, hoping to bring Argentina closer to modern standards, Plans to construct the first rail line begin, but a lack of recources stalls the project. Rosas continues to act as the De-facto leader of the confederation, making Buenos Aires the largest city in the country. The ongoing war between the Federales and Unitarians continues. Population of the entire nation remains just under 1 million.

 * The first settlers for the settlement of Christchurch arrive at the Port of Lyttelton (in New Zealand).
 * The University of Sydney (the oldest in Australia) is founded.
 * American, Texan, Russian and Canadian gold miners riot. The Bear Flag is hoist in Sacramento 4 years later than OTL and is now the official flag of the Republic of California. The rebels call upon American help and theymarch towards LA. They don't like Mexico's rule and prefer the USA.
 * "American gold miners riot" and then "ask for american help" whut? unless this is actually two mod events Toby2: THEY CALL ME Mr. Awesome!!!
 * It is the OTL rising in California that lead to it joining the USA, but at a ATL time.Whipsnade (talk) 15:14, August 22, 2014 (UTC)
 * The Tswana nation of Ngamiland formulates in OTL north Botswana.
 * Princes Vicky and Prince Frederick fall in love.


 * bit to quickly whip. first off i just sent frederick to britain, and second vicky is still only 9. they would keep in correspondence and build a bond first. With Blood and Iron (talk) 22:16, August 21, 2014 (UTC)
 * OK, I was a bit too hasty.
 * The Kingdom of the Two Sicilies (AKA Kingdom of Naples) pays France ransomed of 50,000 Lira for the captured men and ships. The Kingdom of Sardinia also give them some money to help pay the ransom with. The Kingdom of Sardinia amps up it's military slightly.


 * Austrian Empire: the Hungarian revolutionaries are cracked down upon. The Russians are thanked for their assistance in dealing with them. Towards the en d of the year, the Hungarian rebels begin losing morale, and the Austrian army demands their surrender, the Hungarians comply. In concession to the Hungarians, and hopping to prevent future revolutions, Hungarian citizens, treated as second-class citizens for centuries under the Habsburgs, are granted the same status as the German citizens. Hungarian representatives are also allowed to join the Diet in Vienna. With the internal struggles taken care of, Emperor Ferdinand calls for a national focus on industry and education. Construction of factories begin, starting in the Crownlands of Bohemia and Hungary. Diplomats are sent to the southern German states, Bavaria, Württemberg, Baden, Saxony, in hopes of extending and improving economic and political relationships.   Prussia and Great Britain are asked for alliances.'  '
 * ​Baden and Bravaria agree to and Alliance with Austria. Hungary west of the Danube and Slavonia continue to to rebel.
 * yoiu do realize didnt send any help this time no. they never sent any this time around. 
 * Russia's player did no agree to send his toops last turn, but I'm sure some Cossacks may have volenteered, if only to have fun ripping out innocent ethnic Romanians and Poles troughts. They may calm it down a bit.


 * British Empire: British foreign secretary Henry John Temple, 3rd Viscount Palmerston, sends ships to blockade the port of Piraeus, ostensibly as a result of the Don Pacifico affair. A major literacy campaign is held in Ceylon. Trade is expanded in the colonies. British settlers and traders expand Cape Colony’s and Natal’s borders a uniform 2 pixels northward of their current local in to the green zone. The Walvis Bay enclave expands to its full OTL size and then draw a fortified border around it. Local tribes are resisting, but as yet there is no major problem. We try to calm religious and anti-colonial tendency in parts of India, but to no avail. A few hundred more troops are raised and sent to Cape Colony and Malucca. We investigate the sinking of the RMS Royal Adelaide. London Zoo is a success. Princess Vicky and Prince Frederick fall in love and contemplate marriage. The British propose a Pacific Ocean to Caribbean Sea Nicaragua Canal. Control would be shared with America and Portugal if they want to help build it. We offer an alliance to Moderna.
 * Portuguese Dip: We accept the British offer if the profits of the Canal be divided equally between the three called nations. We believe it is only fair.
 * British Dip. Agreed.
 * USA Dip: Agreed.

Mexico: We dispatch the California Corps, led by Felix Jasso, to deal with the 'Bear Flag Rebellion' occurring within northern California. Andres Santana dispatches 5000 of his men from the Northern Corps to cover the Jasso's flank. We use the money earned from the 'California Gold Rush' to help implement roads between major cities and use the money to further implement railroads between major cities. We agree to David Ironhorse's terms and further encourage Indians to immigrate to Mexico. We also wish begin to open up trade with East Asian and South American nations. ''' Algo is up. ''' Green (Northern C.) Red (Central C.) Purple (Southern C.) Red dots (Rebellions)]] Portugal: It is a happy year for us. First of all, our newly-implemented Constitutional system works as tested by the new public pledge - the final elimination of slavery in all Portuguese territories. With the new law, slavery is destroyed in all of our territories. Other reasons to rejoice are the completion of the railway from Lisbon to Santarem, helped by the great stock market funds achieved and the realization of the project to cross the African interior. A wealthy Portuguese explorer achieves the quest and reclaims the rewards. The Government gives him a great sum of money and the title of Viscount. He surprises the aristocracy by donating all of the money to the Royal Portuguese Institute, settled in Coimbra, where students from all over Europe and North America come to complement their studies, helping to modernize the region of Beira. The industrialization of the nation advances foward, with the economy flourishing thanks to the funds given by the stock market. The states all agree with Prussia except Hanover and the minor polities of Nassau, Badan, Lubeck, Bremen, Brauwnswig, Hamburg and Holstine.
 * USA: (user gave me control until he returns on Sunday). We take up Chief Peter Pockawan’s local offer. We take up the British offer. We offer diplomatic support to the Californian rebels. Railways are upgraded in New York state and Ohio. A national literacy campaign is held in all major towns and cities. Texas is offered a 5 year NAP. The OTL Fugitive Slave Act of 1850 and a ATL version of the Compromise of 1850 are passed.
 * Liberia: A literacy campaign is held and farming is improved.
 * US Territories: Cattle ranching, limited farming and roads are improved in the Minnesota, Wisconsin, Nebraska and Kansas regions. Wisconsin Territory is promised statehood and plans are put forward over are states coming from Kansas Territory and Minnesota Territory.
 * Texas Dip: We accept the offer for a five year NAP.
 * USA Response: There is much anti-Mexico sentiment growing. Hot debate rages in the senate and congress. Wisconsin Territory gets statehood.
 * Sorry, Algo is up late, things came up.
 * ​Results: Miners are defeated after some heavy fighting.
 * ​USA: War is promised as troops march in to Dakota territory and head westward.
 * [[File:Mexican_Army_Movement,_Bear_Flag_Rebellion_(1848_Map_Game).png|thumb|240px|Blue (California C.)
 * Argentine Confederation: This year is focused on internal stabilization, with the various nations of the confederacy working on improving there economies. A program to improve the military begins, hoping to bring Argentina closer to modern standards, Plans to construct the first rail line begin, but a lack of resources stalls the project. Rosas continues to act as the De-facto leader of the confederation, making Buenos Aires the largest city in the country. The ongoing war between the Federales and Unitarians continues. Population of the entire nation remains just under 1 million.
 * Brazilian Agents: We send several military advisers to aid the Unitarians in their war.
 * Portuguese Dip: We support both Texan and Californian pledges for indepedence with two conditions: 1 - Putting foward trade pacts with us, especially about the mineral richnesses. 2 - Having an at least gradual abolition of slavery. If that is responded, we will help the Republics in their fights against opression diplomaticly and, if provoked, military. We also warn Oman to either stop slave trafficking from the Swallihi coast or to face the consequences.
 * Portuguese Africa: Angola continues expanding westwards, even if that means conflicts with the native tribes. In Mozambique, the borders accorded with the Boer Republic are respected but we advance to the interior via the northern shores of the Zambezi River. Also, settlers are sent to explore and claim the entire shores of Lake Nyasa. (Can you at least add some lands for the next map?)
 * Federation of Colombia: The nation continues to develop its railway systems, purchasing the resources from various countries extending the railways through more territory. The National congress in the progress of avoiding a destructive civil war reforms the government with popular support from all the departments into the Federation of Colombia. The American system is somewhat implemented and a more american voting system is put into place. With the reformation its decided to outlaw slavery as it has become a redundant practice in Colombia. The nation continues influence on Venezuela and Ecuador heavily, investing further into their economy as the first year of the previously Colombian built factories in both those countries has led to an increasing return and a further expansion of Colombian industry in the countries. Colombias new president Diego Alacantra, sponsors state capitalism as he allows for government investment into domestic factories build up a small but expanding arms industry as well as the start of larger ironworks, and the opening of the nation's first steel mill. The military is put up at a force of about 25,000 to hold the reformed state together and internally stabilize the country. The nations large expansion of industry and railroads, has left Colombia sinking into debt, but the debt in the meantime is becomming easier to pay off as the profits from industry begin to finance Colombia's emergence from the global periphery. The Colombian president however with some protests from the elites opens up the officer corps and politics to the middle classes allowing for many to advance and further integrate between the previously stratified classes in Colombia. The unpopularity of this causes many elite to plan the downfall of the new president but they are discovered and hanged for treason relative quickly. President Alacantra with large scale support from the Liberal-Reactionary coalition government, follows closely the American and Brazilian system of establishment of rights, and creates a "bill of rights" similar to its American counterpart guaranteeing all the same rights. Colombia also requests economic advisors from nations such as Brazil and Prussia. The Colombian congress seeking to gain the unclaimed amazons to its south sponsors a volunteer group of imprisoned men with families (including children) who number about 1000 and about another 500 troops sent along with them to settle and seize the now claimed Colombian Amazons as well as protect it. These priosners are in for moderate offenses and are being allowed to work for their freedom. Can we add at least half of that amazon territory to my south as Colombian since I'm trying to settle it?? 
 * Prussian Dip: The Prussians agree and send a party of economic specialists to Colombia. and also offer a trade agreement to the Colombians
 * ​New lands added in 1851 map.
 * Boer Republic: Due to the fact we now have access to a sea we manage to continue getting immigrants that are not Portuguese or English, as we had not been getting for some time and were relying upon copulation to extend the number of Afrikaaners. French, Dutch, and Germans arrive out our port and settle across the country, with generous land grants given to non-Catholics, and farms are built across the nation. We begin to focus on infrastructure and military development with the new funds gaiend from being able to export things with a port, and the trade-deal with the British that came with the land. A new president is elected, and he promises to have a road connected to every town with more than 400 people and to have a postal service implemented by the end of his term (in three years). Africans for the most part are neglected, with little contact being made except for the occasional trading and northern savagery. We continue expansion, 15 px north and 20 px east.
 * Boer D: We have only one qualm with the current land-deal with Portugal and Great Britain, and that is that we don't want Portugal expanding south of the Limpopo river either.
 * Portuguese Dip: We are afraid that we have already extendend south of the Limpopo River, creating some settlements like Lourenço Marques which are already deeply inhabited by the Portuguese settlers and of which we won't accept to leave. We respect the rights of the Boers and we support the call for immigrants, even though we don't appreciate the discrimination of Catholics in the granting of lands. We offer the Portuguese colonies as a refugee for the discriminate Catholics in the Boer Republic. We still had that we wish to continue with the best terms with the Boer Republic but will not back off our claims.
 * Boer D: We request that Portugal not settle south of the river any further than the current extent.
 * Portugal: We will stand by our claims represented in the map presented above. That territory is not in any way in conflict with the Boer-controlled territory and so we expect no friction with the Boer Republic.
 * Morocco: The military continues to train according to modern military tactics as per the order of the Sultan and his son. Officer corps are sent to other states like the Ottoman Empire to observe military training and discipline. Verbal support for the Algerians continues, and the country decides to house any fleeing refugees but does not allow them to continue the fight or establish bases in Moroccan territory. Influence amongst nomadic Berber tribes is excercised, and the country begins to extend its authority south, targeting trade routes and any oasises. A number of tribes swear alleigance to the Sultan, further expanding the country's influence in the Sahara. Moroccan diplomats secretly ask European nations for mutual defense pacts in order to help preserve Moroccos independence.
 * Texas: We send about 7200 troops to calm down the rebellious goldminers in Texas. We offer diplomatic support to the California rebels and recognize California as its own nation rather than a part of Mexico. We continue to build up our military in the event that we are at war or a crisis.
 * Boer D: We officially recognized the independant state of Texas, for whatever that is worth.
 * Prussia: The Punctation of Olmütz is deemed a humiliation by Otto von Bismark and other prussian nationalists including Crown Prince Wilhelm von Hohenzollern. specially since the Austrians are still dealing with Hungarian rebels (russia never agreed to the treaty). Despite the blunder the Prince and Junkers keep their cool and await for things to develop as the King enters a period of relative mental instability brought on by recent events (otl this did occur and wilhelm I was regent during the 1850s until he assumed the throne himself). The general amnesty offered to the liberals is maintained and the National Liberal Party accomodates many of the former revolutionaries gaining several new sets in the Landtag in particularly in the lowerhouse. The Conservatives and National Liberals form a coalition government after the first elections ever held in the country. Otto von Bismark is rewarded with his part in the suppression of the liberal insurrection with a diplomatic position in Russia, should the russians accept him there. While considered it is an honor it is also to remove him from the political spotlight for the time being. Meanwhile in London Prince Frederick the son of Crown Prince Wilhelm begins a correspondence with the young princess Victoria of the Great Britain who showed him around the capital. He also takes a liking to King consort Albert and Queen Victoria and hopes to enter a personal friendship with the couple (British response please). Industrialization in the Rhineland and Silesia continues and the rail system continues to expand. The Zollverein continues to grow in importance, and the Prussians request greater economic cooperation amongst the minor Aerman states except Austria. (RNG, please. Remember, I am the strongest economic power out of all the German states and greater cooperation will favor all the German states). Military expanasion continues and more and more needle rifles and breechloaded cannons are developed and several new military officers begin to come into the spotlight particularly Roon and Moltke who are critics of the current military system. Fears of the French territorial ambitions begin to grow amongst Prussian leaders and the government reminds the rest of the German states of the problems French expansionism could bring to the German people.

British Dip: We agree. '''I don't have the time to work with an experimental algo, so could a mod create the algo for me? I haven't seen the algo work yet, and have to go to the sure very late today. Thanks to however does this'''
 * Empire of Brazil: Pedro II of Brazil continues to work on strengthening the economy.There is much growth this year and the economy is estimated to be growing at a rate of roughly 10.5% and production increases dramatically. Several new factories are built along the coast and more roads extending into the amazon are built. Several economic advisers are offered to Colombia in an attempt to improve relations. Pedro III (my mistake on the years, he was born in 1848 not 49), continues to grow up, touring Uruguay with his father and mother. Uruguay becomes a semi-autonomous region within Brazil, ruling itself in internal affairs, but yielding all national rights to Brazil. The leaders of the warring political parties are executed and peace restored.
 * France: Seeing California revolt, France, traditionally aligned with the USA, sends troops to the rebels in the area. The USA is requested an alliance and trade pact. Meanwhile, back in Europe, war is support is given to the Roman Republic, who is angered at the low payment of Naples. the Roman Republic is given 30,000 troops to deal with Naples, who launch an attack on the mainland. All other Italian states are assured that they will not be bother as long as they don't interfere. Spain, is invited to participate in the invasion, with a guaranteed land gained if they participate. The military is built up to deal with Naples. (Mod response)

 * French Colonial Empire: With the war in Naples going on, the empire halts expansion and sends a total of 2000 troops to Naples.
 * Roman Republic: Angered with the payment of Naples, witch was much lower than expected, declares war on the nation. The 500 French troops in the area are mobilized toward Naples, as well as 100 of the native Roman Republic troops. (Algo needed)

 * Portuguese Dip: Since France is calling for allies for the invasion of Naples, we offer to help military, hoping for land gains.
 * French Diplomacy: Portugal isn't guaranteed any land in Naples but will be guaranteed a West African colony (depending on how many troops are sent) in the near future. A trade pact is offered between the two nations.
 * Portuguese Dip: We accept the offer and ask only to have a say in the future of Naples when the war ends, besides the colonial gains.
 * In the Dutch EmpireWilliam_VII_Luxem_(The_Kalmar_Union).png, a number of advancements take place. Firstly, King Willem III manages to quell any and all talks of republican or revolutionary revolt in his nation. He also plans for the young daughter of Leopold I of Belgium, Charlotte, to marry Prince Willem of the Netherlands in under a decade, uniting the two nations into a personal union. We propose a trade pact and alliance with Hanover, and intend to better our relations. Ernest Augustus is encouraged to grow closer to the Dutch and further from the British. Meanwhile, in Suriname, a new colony is set up between British Guiana and Venezuela. We continue to influence our puppet government in Rattanakosin Thailand, growing that colony closer to our East Indies Co. The Dutch East Indies influences Sarawak by sending trade deals and attempting to cement them into our East Indian Colonial Empire. We establish a trading post at the southern tip of Madagascar and attempt to ally the native kingdom. The post soon becomes a colony called "Madagaskar."
 * Portuguese Dip: We offer an alliance between the Portuguese and Dutch Empire. We hope we can have share the island of Madagascar between both our nations, as we wish to have a wood-exporting colony
 * Duchy of Modena: Military and economy are built up.
 * Modenese Dip: We accept the British request of alliance.
 * Russia: We begin to improve relations with the prussians. We continue modernization. The military grows and more factories appear in the nation
 * Aleyska: the revolt is met with gunfire, those responsable are sent to siberia to break rocks. the population are encouraged to go to the colony to seek a better life. Sitka and other settlements continue to grow
 * California (Bear Flag) Republic: With us taking over the city of Sacremento, we declare ourselves the California (Bear Flag) Republic with our capital being Sacramento, thus we officially establish a government. With us being a Republic, we resprent the common citizen (the miner) and thus we also declare ourselves as a  Democratic Government With Support from the People (' +4 in the Algo)  The Revolutionary William B Ide is elected president. While we declare ourselves to have control over all the Californian territory, in reality we only have juristiction over Sacremento and the surrounding area, and thus only our official military, the Californian Army, only has control over Sacremento and the surrounding area, with its main job too defend our capital Sacremento and its civilians. Most of our army, however, consits of Revolutionary Irregulars called the Bear Flag Army, which consits of the numerous Rebels all over California not under our juristiction and use guerilla warfare tactics. We begin a campaign to encourage young men to join the Bear Flag Army and rebel against the opressive Mexican Government and establish our official currency, The Californian (Mexican pesos and US dollars are also accepted currency) '
 * Californian Diplomacy:  We hereby condem the nation of Mexico, our opressors, as only now, that we are rebelling against your tryanical rule that you pay attention to us. We thank all nations that have been sympatetic to our cause, including France (for giving us military support), Portugal (for the offer, which we graciously accept), The United States (for the diplomatic support), and Texas, (for the diplomatic support) We also ask permission to set up an embassy in either the US or Texas to form a Government in Exile, if and when we lose, though we are not intending to give up without a huge fight. We also ask that those who diplomatically support us also give us supplies to help in our war against Mexico. ' We also apologize for any damage done to the nations who have supported us as a result of any roudy behavior of the Bear Flag Army, as we have no de facto juristiction over them.

 * ​Mexico: With the quelling of the 'Bear Flag Rebellion' and the recent threats from the United States we transfer control of the California Corps into to famed general and former president Santa Anna. Meanwhile we raise up and continue to train another corps, recently named the Desert Corps who is led by former California Corps leader Felix Jasso.

Brit Dip:Crown Prince Pedro can start corispondence with Princess Alice. No canals until the late 1800's and early 1900's
 * Portugal: The Royal Portuguese Institute opens the Warfare Sciences Cabinet, which gets huge donations from the Army, a department with the sole purpose of studying ballistics, especially for the creation of better firearms, especially riffles, more efficient bullets and ammunitions and for the construction of more efficient artillery pieces. We hope that in a few years the Portuguese Army will once again be a motive of pride for the nation. The first two ships built with the help of the foreigner engineers are inaugurated in Lisbon, in a ceremony attended by the Queen and the Consort King. The ships are named "Maria" and "Fernindand" in honour of the Royal couple. In this year, we introduce the telegraph in the nation. The first line, Lisbon-Santarem-Coimbra-Porto, is inaugurated later in the year, while the line from Lisbon to the Azores starts to be built. The railways get to Coimbra and Vila Viçosa. The Royal Seas Corporation is created, doing regular sea journeys Lisbon-Funchal-Praia-Bissau-Luanda-Beira letting that way more settlers into Portuguese Africa. To attract more settlers, we open gates for Irish immigrants, escaping the Famine, and Italian immigrants too, to live in deep Portuguese Africa. With dispersed populations, the cultures melt into the Portuguese ways, but still some settlements in deep Africa, like Semaragaide and Prosperitá were named after Irish and Italian words. That way, the Portuguese colonies expand further inside.
 * Portuguese Dip: We are glad for the California Republic and we lend a few armies and we send some ships, including the Fernindand, to occupy the port of San Francisco, in the name of the Californian Republic. We put an embargo on Mexico and advise the USA, France, Texas and other European allies to do the same. We accept a trade deal with Shshonaland, but as the country is in the area claimed by the Boer Republic, we advise them to cross the Zambezi River to the Portuguese territory. There, they will be resettled in organized communities, under the care of the Portuguese government. We will give education to the children and the constitutional rights to the people. In order to reinforce the alliance with the British Empire, we offer to negotiate a marriage between the Crown Prince Pedro, heir to the Portuguese throne, with one of the daughters of Queen Victoria (British response needed). We also offer France a lent of a force of 2500 to reforce the French occupation of Naples.
 * French Diplomacy: We gladly accept the re-inforcement of troops and embargo Mexico.
 * Portuguese Africa: With the new waves of both Portuguese and foreigner settlers, attracted by the regular naval routes and the privileges given to settlers, our dominance in the claims we have in Africa gets stronger and stronger. However, the tensions that the government has with the Boer Republic and border arguments threat the settlers in southern Mozambique, which fear a possible conflict. A settler community lands in northeast Madagascar, and forms a new settlement there, Salvação.
 * Portuguese Canal Company: A team of engineers, alongside with a team from the USA and the British Empire, study the landscape of Nicaragua, in hopes of finding an area suitable for constructing the Canal.
 * British survey teams in Nicaragua: We examine the landscape, but it is deemed to difficult to tame with present technology.
 * Morocco: The military reforms continue to be performed, and Moroccan officers continue to be trained in forms of discipline and artillery fire. Despite this, the army is still largely undertrained, underequipped, and still mostly tribesmen rather than actual soldiers. The military extends to the Moroccan Navy as well, even though said navy is composed of a few xebecs and galleys, nothing that could compare to a European fleet. Influence amongst the Berber tribes and trade caravans that lead south of the Sahara continues to be excercised.


 * Russia: continues modernization. Weapons continue to be built, as do more ships in both the baltics and the strait. works with mending relations with multiple european countries coninue. Conversion of the chechens continue.
 * Aleyska: population continues to grow. the Inuit population begins to be less frequently sen, presumably pushed north. Gold mining continues.
 * Empire of Brazil: Pedro II of Brazil continues to work on strengthening the economy.There is much growth this year and the economy is estimated to be growing at a rate of roughly 10.5% and production increases dramatically. Several new factories are built along the coast and more roads extending into the amazon are built. Huge strides are made in the manufacturing and agricultural production sectors. A short section of railroad is built in Rio de Janeiro, but it will be several years before it can be implemented on an industrial scale. Pedro III continues to grow up, touring Uruguay with his father and mother. The Liberals and Conservatives continue to dispute, and Pedro must always watch them carefully. A force of settlers and explorers lead by João da Cunha enters the un-claimed jungles to the west of Brazil after several months the region of Acre (same as OTL) is annexed. A defensive line is begun along the Paraguayan border, consisting of several fortified cities with redoubts every 2 miles surrounding them.

'''The Zollverein continues to grow in importance, and the Prussian’s request greater economic cooperation amongst the minor German states except Austria is responded on. They all agree except to more cooperation except Bremen, Hamburg, Anhalt. Limburg and Lubeck.Whipsnade (talk) 15:44, August 23, 2014 (UTC)'''
 * Federation of Colombia: The expense of railways systems limits their further adoption but further industrialism continues with many factories opening up and a large increase in education spending begins to show the first inklings of a literacy rate increase. The settling of the new amazon territories continues with a few thousand people and their families working off their prison sentence in exchange for settling the territory. Continuing with using advisors from Prussia and Brazil Colombia aggressively expands its industry and with the outlawing of slavery sees a large immigration of people from europe numbering almost 3000 Germans from the dissapparate grouping of nations. These 4000 people some of which are military men and industrialists are immediately employed by the government to improve the efficiency and production of Colombian factories. The military men are sent to bring Colombian military tactics up to speed and more organization and radical military reform are put into place increasing the efficiency of the army. Colombia's navy, however, remains extremely neglected and in an attempt to at least modernize its navy as well has two private European builders in France contracted to build two of Colombias first ships of the line expected to be delivered next year. The amount of debt while larger slows down and begins to recede slowly as the country begins to pay off its debts to various nations, particularly the British. With this, however, the loans taken out in British banks are paid off first to prevent some sort of intervention. The Colombian influence over Venezuela and Ecuador continues, this time much more prolificly as the re-organized and much more powerful government is able to swing many Venezuelan and Ecuadorian officials into allowing further Colombian influence, further Colombian investment, and the beginning resurgence of "Gran Colombia" as a nation state this time using many of Santanders ideas. The Colombian government also continues to influence Costa Rica, and Nicaragua, furthering Colombian interests there. This however has led many of these to become more favorable to Colombia as advisors begin telling their respectice governments that their only way to be strong is to avoid European powers and their interests in favor of going through Colombia a cultural brother and ally.
 * French Empire: On December 23rd the constitution was ratified, and Napoleon declares himself Emperor of France, creating the French Empire. The victory in Naples is celebrated, as Napoleon plans to provide revenge to Mexico. Napoleon asks Great Britain to not provide assistance to the Mexicans, as the Mexicans did not give the people what they wanted - Independence. Napoleon also states in his Christmas Day speech that "ethnic French areas controlled by non-French nations is hell, and the people don't deserve it." This speech, kicks off a type of French nationalism that hates non-French nations, the lowlands in particular.
 * French Colonial Empire: The colonies expand their coastlines.
 * Duchy of Rome: The nation, joyful that Naples is eliminated, returns to upgrading infrastructure and bases.
 * Duchy of Naples: Naples, replaced by pro-French government, starts to fix infrastructure and build bases.
 * Texas: We have calmed down the Apache rebellion by sending 4000 troops to heavily populated areas of Apache Indians. We have also placed a trade embargo on Mexico and ask the United States to do the same. Slavery is officially abolished in the Republic of Texas stating that if anyone still owns slaves, they will be punished severely. We continue to build up our military and our economy due to tensions around North America. We are modernizing Texas.
 * Prussia: The Punctation of Olmütz is deemed a humiliation by Otto von Bismark and other prussian nationalists including Crown Prince Wilhelm von Hohenzollern. specially since the Austrians are still dealing with Hungarian rebels (Russia never agreed to the treaty). Despite the blunder the Prince and Junkers keep their cool and await for things to develop as the King enters a period of relative mental instability brought on by recent events (otl this did occur and wilhelm I was regent during the 1850s until he assumed the throne himself). The general amnesty offered to the liberals is maintained and the National Liberal Party accomodates many of the former revolutionaries gaining several new sets in the Landtag in particularly in the lowerhouse. The Conservatives and National Liberals form a coalition government after the first elections ever held in the country. Otto von Bismark is rewarded with his part in the suppression of the liberal insurrection with a diplomatic position in Russia, should the russians accept him there. While considered it is an honor it is also to remove him from the political spotlight for the time being. Meanwhile in London Prince Frederick the son of Crown Prince Wilhelm begins a correspondence with the young princess Victoria of the Great Britain who showed him around the capital. He also takes a liking to King consort Albert and Queen Victoria and hopes to enter a personal friendship with the couple (British response, please). Industrialization in the Rhineland and Silesia continues and the rail system continues to expand. The Zollverein continues to grow in importance, and the Prussians request greater economic cooperation amongst the minor German states except Austria. (RNG, please. Remember I am the strongest economic power out of all the German states and greater cooperation will favor all the German states). Military expansion continues and more and more needle rifles and breechloaded cannons are developed and several new military officers begin to come into the spotlight particularly Roon and Moltke who are critics of the current military system. Fears of the French territorial amibtions begin to grow amongst Prussian leaders and the government reminds the rest of the German states of the problems French expansionism could bring to the German people.

'''Naples is under French control. You cannot play as Naples unless I say so, and it's no. Jesus ...'''
 * Sarawak: James Brooke, de facto ruler of Sarawak and British adventurer, begins to increase his power by manipulating ethnic tensions. He begins arming and training the Dayak majority, shifting power from the Malay minority to the interior. He also marries a prominent Dayak. In consequence many of the tribes of the interior swear allegiance to him, expanding his control over the interior. With the loyalty of the Dayaks secured, Sarawak officially declares independence from Brunei. The military improves as individual chieftains send quotas of warriors to be trained and armed in modern fashion. Secretly, rebellion begins to be fomented by Sarawak agents in the Bruneian interior.
 * Sarawak Dip: requests to purchase modern arms from any nation willing to supply them.
 * British Dip: We agree to supply them. We make 5000 modern rifles and send 100 of them to help James Brooke.
 * Texan Dip: We accept your offer for food and wine and we will start a trade route by offering Naples beef from our Texan cattle.
