Treaty of Amiens (Map Game)

In the wake of the War of the Second Coalition. France stands triumphant over its enemies, not only retaining its independence as a republic but also expanding into Central Europe through the use of several puppet regimes. Meanwhile, European powers have begun to expand into previously unknown lands in Africa and Oceania, whilst the decline of the Ottoman Empire seems inevitable. The year is 1802 and war is on the horizon, whether you are ready for it or not!

Rules

 * There are two turns per year in this map game. During those turns you can either improve two of three categories (infrastructure, economy or military). Vassals can have their stats improved independently of their host nations (e.g. Austria improves military and economy. Hungary improves economy and infrastructure).
 * No sock-puppeting (using alternative accounts), if you have been banned from the wiki then you will be banned here until your ban is lifted. * You must be plausible!
 * If you remain inactive for a sustained period of time (past four turns) then your nation will suffer mod related disasters and you will eventually be removed from the game.
 * Influencing and creating vassals requires several turns, again be plausible.
 * A new turn will start around 22:00 UTC (17:00 EST).
 * Game will be archived every ten years.
 * No vassal spamming. Vassals must be both plausible and make sense (e.g. there is no reason for France to make Calais into a vassal).
 * 'Uncivilized' nations will take varying amounts of time to westernise, be plausible.

Map Rules

 * Only mods are allowed to edit the map.

1802.0
The Treaty of Amiens is signed, ending the War of the Second Coalition.

Slavery is reinstated in the French colonies by Napoleon.

Haitian revolutionary Toussaint L'Ouverture is seized and imprisoned by French troops.

Let's do this!
 * Russian Empire: Tsar Alexander I ascended the throne and was proclaimed the Emperor of the Russian Empire in 1802. His early decisions included the Russian Government Reform of 1802 and the implementation of a new currency system which was to be the well-regulated ruble. The Tsar also supported the Russian Enlightenment, but did not generally force his will upon the landowners. However, he did advocate education and research in order to advance technologically, although the Empire opposed ideas seen as hostile to Christianity. Another important reform imposed by the Tsar included an attempt to reform the military, and maintain par with other European powers in terms of technology, training and organization. Due to the general interest in establishing a strong land force, the budget invested by the Imperial authorities into the army was much greater in comparison to that given to the navy. As for the Russian economy, the Empire largely depended upon Serfdom for an adequate agricultural output. Major exports of the Empire included coal, iron, zinc, platinum, copper, lead, etc. The Russian Empire expands into Central Asia by 350 px, Far East by 100 px and Alaska by 50 px. [Mil/Eco Turn]
 * ​Baltic Governates: Major investments were made into the Ports of Klaipėda and Ventspils, in order to divert traffic towards the Port of St Petersburg. A small military force of 40,000 men was also established. [Mil/Eco Turn]
 * Swedish Diplomacy: The Kingdom of Sweden would like to sign a ceasefire between the Russians and ourselves, and establish friendly agreements of trade.
 * Tokugawa Shogunate: We continue improving our country's infrastructure and economy. The current Shogun also continues to slowly take away power from the local warlords and Daimyos. We also continue talks of slowly opening up to the west.
 * Kingdom of Naples:  Improve Military and Economy. Following the defeat of the Kingdom of Naples to the French Republic in the War of the Second Coalition and the terms of the Treaty of Florence. The only reason Naples was still independent was because of Napoleons need to please Russia. King Ferdinand begins building up his forces and begins sending messages to potential allies, particularly Russia and the UK, for an alliance against France.
 * Russian Diplomacy: The Tsar, Alexander I rejects the request of an alliance between the Russian Empire and the Kingdom of Naples in opposition to the French Empire.
 * Kingdom of Sweden: Even with the signing of the Treaty of Amiens, the King, Gustav IV Adolf and his council believe it is best to try to gain an alliance with either Prussia or the United Kingdom, so he sends diplomats to each nation for a grand alliance against Napoleon and his nation. We also begin encouraging capitalists in Stockholm to build up infrastructure and build more factories in the region, and we also begin funding the army and encourage conscription in the southern regions of the country. We also plan to abolish slave trade by 1805 to further resist Napoleon's ideals in the minds of the Swedish people.
 * Persian Empire: The Empire begins to build up its strength. Guarded colonists are sent along the border with the Turkmen to extend the borders of Persia by 400px, and Shia imams go with them; the government begins a policy of welcoming native Turkmen integration. The Emperor believes that the Empire needs greater resources to express its power, and begins building up the navy massively in hopes to secure trade in the region. The army is also built up, and the Empire begins to secularize the military to allow for greater inclusion of minorities in the military for the purpose of man power boosting.  The state begins subsidizing the production of fine Persian rugs to boost commerce.
 * Persian Diplomacy: The Empire of Persia begins looking outward, and seeks warm relations and lucrative trade to nearly all foreign nations.
 * Swedish Diplomacy: The Kingdom of Sweden sends diplomats to Persia to improve relations, and would like to trade Swedish ammunition with Persian opium.
 * Persian Diplomacy: The Empire whole-heartedly accepts and hopes that this sets a new precedent for co-operation with foreigners.
 * Ryukyu Kingdom:  Improve infrastructure and economy. A relatively isolated country, Ryukyu will need to change our poor economy in order to gain an influence in the world. We will need to gather resources in order to arrange a proper attack. Currently we are in search of protection from either the Qing Dynasty or the Tokugawa Shogunate in exchange for oaths of loyalty.
 * Archduchy of Austria: We improve the infrastructure and economy. Francis II would like to increase relations with Prussia and other German states, as well as the Russian Empire.
 * Kingdom of Hungary: Economy and infrastructure are improved. More rights are given to Hungarians and the Hungarian language is more widely accepted to prevent a rebellion.
 * Kingdom of Bohemia: Economy and infrastructure are improved. More rights are given to Czechs and the Czech language is more widely accepted to prevent a rebellion.
 * Kingdom of Croatia: Economy and infrastructure are improved. More rights are given to Croats and the Croatian language is more widely accepted to prevent a rebellion.
 * Kingdom of Sicily: With urging from the UK, Sicily had issued democratic reforms, such as the creation of a parliament. Sicily hopes to remain neutral in upcoming conflicts in order to built its power up internally. Its infrastructure and economy are improved.
 * The Kingdom of Naples: Asks the Kingdom of Sicily for an alliance to push the French out of Italy.
 * United States of America: God bless the United States. We improve economy and military by opening more ports for Atlantic trade and diversifying exports by constructing more plantations for cotton and tobacco and farms for certain crops. We send scholars to various European countries to study their system of government, economy and military. We express our desire to purchase Louisiana Territory from France for a negotiable price and favorable trade deals
 * Qing: We realize we are far behind the rest of the world militarily. Therefore we start reforms and improve tech. We request arms from any European country in return for trade in arts and culture, as well as support during wars. We look toward expanding into Korea and the "uncivilized" area to the west and east, as well as the countries in the south. We seek good relations with neighboring player-controlled countries. We also improve economy. Buddhism flourishes in the area. We also would accept Persia's offer and agree to protect the Ryukyu kingdom. Other stuff happens. The emperor decides to give the people rights, such as freedom of speech and other things. This is due to the increasing power of the republicans wanting a republic instead of the old monarchy. The emperor fears that if he doesn't, there would be a revolution as violent as the French Revolution. Eco and mil turn.
 *  MOD: So are you invading Korea? 
 * Not yet ... but maybe soon ...
 * Minor mistakes that I would like to point out. The Qing were generally opposed to reform, and I doubt that they would issue reforms such as 'freedom of speech' as well as request European powers for armaments. You must keep in mind that China at this point was largely closed to Europeans, and did not completely open up until the First Opium War. You should also keep in mind that the concept of a 'Chinese Republic' did not exist in the early 19th Century, and even if it did, it would be held by a tiny minority that would surely have no influence on the actions of the Emperor. Moreover, I doubt the Qing would even care about the situation in Europe, and would not spend their time thinking of the French Revolution. Finally, Confucianism was a major religion practised in the Qing Empire, not Buddhism. The latter was largely restricted to Tibet and surrounding areas. -Rimp
 * Minor? *laugh* no ... it's not. Feel free to cross out stuff. I really don't care, but this is ATL.
 * The Persian Empire is happy with the idea of trade with the Chinese people.
 * Bavaria: Improves military and infrastructure. Conscription is introduced and we begin to modernize the army. Across the country roads are improved. We look to improve relations with our neighbors and offer The Archduchy of Austria a trade agreement
 * Denmark-Norway: We begin to build up our relatively small military, hoping to increase the number to at least 120,000 by the end of the year. We begin to industrialize our nation, with many factories being built up, mostly in Denmark and the Oslo area of Norway. With a limited amount of arable land, new laws are passed to limit who can own what land, with the intention being to produce as much food as possible. These laws prove somewhat unpopular with common farmers, but they still keep their jobs in most cases. We request an alliance with Prussia, feeling that it would benefit both countries.
 * Swedish Diplomacy: We would also like a ceasefire with Denmark-Norway for the time being, in order to establish friendly agreements.

1802.5
The Tories win the United Kingdom general election.

Piedmont officially becomes part of France.

Sweden and Tripoli sign a peace treaty, However America still remains at war with Tripoli.
 * Russian Empire: Tsar Alexander I ascended the throne and was proclaimed the Emperor of the Russian Empire in 1802. His early decisions included the Russian Government Reform of 1802 and the implementation of a new currency system which was to be the well-regulated ruble. The Tsar also supported the Russian Enlightenment, but did not generally force his will upon the landowners. However, he did advocate education and research in order to advance technologically, although the Empire opposed ideas seen as hostile to Christianity. Another important reform imposed by the Tsar included an attempt to reform the military, and maintain par with other European powers in terms of technology, training and organization. Due to the general interest in establishing a strong land force, the budget invested by the Imperial authorities into the army was much greater in comparison to that given to the navy. As for the Russian economy, the Empire largely depended upon Serfdom for an adequate agricultural output. Major exports of the Empire included coal, iron, zinc, platinum, copper, lead, etc. The Russian Empire expands into Central Asia by 350 px, Far East by 100 px and Alaska by 50 px. [Mil/Eco Turn]
 * ​Baltic Governates: Major investments were made into the Ports of Klaipėda and Ventspils, in order to divert traffic towards the Port of St Petersburg. A small military force of 40,000 men was also established. [Mil/Eco Turn]
 * The Tlingit request a trade deal and alliance with the Russians, offering to help them colonize Alaska.
 * Kingdom of Sweden The King and his council still want to achieve alliances with Great Britain or Prussia against Napoleon and sign cease-fires with Russia and Denmark-Norway, but we also want to improve our relations with Denmark-Norway. We also propose more trade with the Americans, and with the Austrians as well. Internally, we try to improve infrastructure and the army.
 * The Kingdom of Naples: Offers Sweden an alliance against Napoleon following the French annexation of Piedmont.
 * Swedish Diplomacy: The Kingdom of Sweden happily accepts Naples' offer, and proposes trading Swedish fish and Neapolitan potatoes.
 * Neapolitan Diplomacy: King Ferdinand accepts the trade offer of fish for potatoes.
 * Austrian Diplomacy: The Archduchy accepts the proposition of increasing trade.
 * Russian Diplomacy: The request for a ceasefire is accepted by the Russian Empire.
 * Kingdom of Naples: Improve military and infrastructure. Following the annexation of Piedmont by Napoleon, the Kingdom of Naples declares full mobilization and offers the Kingdom of Sicily an alliance against Napoleon'. King Ferdinand declares mobilization to stop the "French takeover of Italy" and begins looking at possible technological advancements in the military.
 * Kingdom of Sicily Diplomacy: Sicily agrees to an alliance against the French.
 * Swedish Diplomacy: King Gustav IV Adolf would like to propose a betrothal between King Ferdinand's one-year-old granddaughter Maria Theresa and his three-year-old son and heir Gustav, Prince of Vasa.
 * Neapolitan Diplomacy: The King accepts the betrothal offer from Sweden, marking the beginning of a Personal Union.
 * Kingdom of Sicily: Parliament continues to focus on building up Sicily's economy. Plans are made to build new roads and harbors to increase trade, as well as build up local industries. Infrastructure/economy.
 * Bavaria: Improves military and infrastructure. Conscription is introduced and we begin to modernize the army. Across the country roads are improved. We look to improve relations with our neighbors and offer The Archduchy of Austria a trade agreement
 * Austrian Diplomacy: We agree to the trade agreement.
 * Ryukyu Kingdom: Improves economy and infrastructure.  The people of Ryukyu rejoice at the Chinese decision to protect what we hold dear to our hearts. Although we question is this a military alliance or a vassalization?  We are fine with either, but if Qing decides to vassalize us, we need to know how much influence the Chinese will have on our island so we do not anger you.
 * Archduchy of Austria: Emperor Francis II orders an improvement of the armed forces, with plans to raise our army to a strength of 200,000 men. Conscription is only to be used in some cases, first, we try to recruit people voluntarily instead of requiring them to join. The army begins training exercises. Meanwhile, the infrastructure continues to be improved, with new buildings and roads constructed across the nation.
 * Kingdom of Hungary: Hungarians are given more prominent positions in the national government of the Archduchy. The Hungarian language is more widely accepted to keep the population satisfied. Recruitment of ethnic Hungarians into the Imperial Austrian Army begins.
 * Kingdom of Bohemia: Infrastructure is improved. The Czech language is more widely accepted. Recruitment of ethnic Czechs into the Imperial Austrian Army begins.
 * Kingdom of Croatia: Infrastructure is improved. The Croatian language is more widely accepted, and several Croatian language schools are opened, even. Recruitment of ethnic Croats into the Imperial Austrian Army begins.
 * Portuguese Empire: We improve military and economy. We attempt to expand our control of India along the coast of the Arabian Sea. We authorize conscription in case of war with France. Portugal, seeing the strength of France, offers France an alliance, noting that if France agrees, a joint invasion of Spain will occur. Peter III is king and Maria I is queen.
 * All Colonies: Infrastructure and economy.
 * Persian Diplomacy: The Empire offers co-operation with the Portuguese Empire regarding influence in the Arabian Sea.
 * Portugal: We would like to establish trade with Persia and fully recognize its independence. Nonetheless, we will continue to colonize India, but nowhere else on the Arabian Sea.
 * Persian Diplomacy: Commerce with Portugal is happily welcomed.
 * Ottoman Empire: The Ottoman Empire begins to improve its economy and build up its military. With growing of the Russian and Austrian threat, the current Sultan Selim III offers asks France and Sweden for an alliance and trade agreement. Sunni Islam rises in popularity and gains more followers. As Selim III continuing his reign as sultan and looking to establish closer economic partnership with various European states to grow the nation into the major worldwide power, the Ottoman Empire begins to westernize. The Ottoman Empire expands into the Sahara Desert by 500 px.
 * Swedish Diplomacy: We politely decline the alliance, but we will accept trade.
 * United States of America: We send diplomats to Paris urging them to consider our offer regarding the purchase of Louisiana Territory. We also offer France a trade deal. The United States, keen on becoming a great power in a world dominated by Europe, desires a colony of its own and sends 100 colonizers escorted by 50 troops across the Atlantic and land at some place in Western Africa (OTL Liberia, and am I allowed to do this?). The United States improves greatly on her economy, increasing the amount of exports to other countries. More farms and pastures are built to sustain the need for food of the country. Cotton and tobacco farms are built on the northern part of the country to diversify each state's economy. America passes a law regarding this generation of slaves to be the last: No more slaves shall be recognized by the government after this year and slave owners will be payed handsomely if they comply with this law before the year ends. The United States also desires to be an industrial behemoth on par with the British Empire, and embarks on a country-wide industrialization process with the aim of building factories to increase industrial output. Research on steamboat technology begins. America also sends diplomats to Tripoli and see if they can negotiate a peace.
 * Tripoli accepts.
 * Liberia was actually formed around this time, so this is technically allowed, but it would be way more likely that the US establishes an "independent" colony.
 * Denmark-Norway: Agriculture reforms continue, and food production is at an all time high. We continue to build up out military, focusing especially on new technology and tactics. We begin colonial expansion, with several operations starting. Firstly, We 500 pixels into Greenland, hoping to find more arable land and resources. In addition, expedition are sent to northern Canada, in order to establish a colony in the OTL Queen Victoria islands. Another expedition is sent to Africa, although this expedition does not intend to establish a colony, but rather map out more of Africa for future colonial expansion. We accept Sweden's offer from last year and offer a trade deal to them.
 * Swedish Diplomacy: We accept Denmark's trade deal.
 * The Tlingit: Focus on centralizing and uniting for protection from colonizers. The Tlingit form an alliance designed to enable them to unite against possible conquest attempts, and agree to have a common foreign and defence policy. To given this alliance, the Tlingit form a council of chieftains. Numerous Tlingit bands remain outside the nascent confederacy, however. The Tlingit continue to adopt European agriculture and technology, which fuels a population boom. Tlingit blacksmiths begin to produce metal tools independently, including, for the first time, a few primitive muskets.
 * The Portuguese Colony of Brazil continues to grow, with a population standing at 3.3 million. The nation remains mostly agricultural, with slave labour being the driving force of the economy. More Later when I get the chance.
 * Persian Empire: Colonization in Central Asia begins to increase in pace, and Persia expands by 415 px in Central Asia in a manner to build corridors of Persian control and seize access toPersian_capsian.png the Aral. The army and navy continue large build ups, and new weapons are based on attempted reproduction of Swedish arms that were sold to the Empire, though this is done on a small scale. Productions of goods for exports continue, with fine rugs, opium, and spices driving making up the most of exports, but the Shah decides to open up large kilns and subsidize the education of fine craftsmen, thus allowing the ability to export fine clay pottery.
 * ​Persian Espionage: The Empire sends spies into the Chinese Empire in attempt to steal silkworms to bring back to Persia (RNG NEEDED).
 * RNG: (1-6 fail) (7-10 success) = 10, Persian spies are successful in stealing silk worms.
 * RNG: (1-6 fail) (7-10 success) = 10, Persian spies are successful in stealing silk worms.

1803.0
The first practical steamboat is built in Scotland. Ohio is granted Statehood. Tensions mount between Britain and France as France refuses to withdraw from Dutch territory. The Swiss confederation replaces the Helvetic Republic.

'''I really think we need an active player for France, Prussia, Spain and Britannia. Upvote, Wrto, Killer-f111 and Saturn are not posting, and this game is bound to fail if there is no one posting for these nations. I mean, this entire game is based on the Napoleonic Wars and you're just ignoring many major nations ... -Rimp'''

'''If they don't post by the end of this turn they will be kicked. -Dream''' Ryukyu Kingdom: Improves economy and infrastructure. 'The Kingdom continues to collect money and improve roads, while the citizens just casually live their days. With no threat of war, the country seems relatively at peace, and so the adults work and the children play knowing that the islands are safe. Kingdom of Sicily: Money is invested into building new harbors and roads. With war possibly on the horizon, the size of our army is increased and a new fleet begins construction.
 * Russian Empire: Tsar Alexander I ascended the throne and was proclaimed the Emperor of the Russian Empire in 1802. His early decisions included the Russian Government Reform of 1802 and the implementation of a new currency system which was to be the well-regulated ruble. The Tsar also supported the Russian Enlightenment, but did not generally force his will upon the landowners. However, he did advocate education and research in order to advance technologically, although the Empire opposed ideas seen as hostile to Christianity.

As for the Russian economy, the Empire largely depended upon Serfdom for an adequate agricultural output. Major exports of the Empire included coal, iron, zinc, platinum, copper, lead, etc. The Russian Empire expands into Central Asia by 350 px, Far East by 100 px and Alaska by 50 px. The Russian delegate to the Tlingit accepts their request for a trade deal and an alliance. [Mil/Eco Turn]
 * ​Baltic Governates: Major investments were made into the Ports of Klaipėda and Ventspils, in order to divert traffic towards the Port of St Petersburg. A small military force of 40,000 men was also established. [Mil/Eco Turn]
 * Kingdom of Sweden: In response to France refusing to withdraw from Dutch territory, we openly declare multiple trade sanctions against Napoleon. We also will now accept an alliance from any country who wants to prevent Napoleon from getting any stronger, and we will primarily focus on building up and improving the army and infrastructure of Sweden. We also propose an alliance with Russia, Prussia and/or the United Kingdom if possible.
 * Bavarian Diplomacy: Faced with the threat from Napoleon we offer an alliance to Sweden.
 * Swedish Diplomacy: We gladly accept.
 * Denmark-Norway: Worried about France, and seeing great value in an alliance with our neighbors, we offer an alliance with Sweden.
 * Swedish Diplomacy: We accept Denmark-Norway's offer.
 * Sicilian Diplomacy: Since we are already allied with Naples an alliance between us would make sense.
 * Swedish Diplomacy: We also accept Sicily's offer.
 * Russian Diplomacy: The Russian Empire accepts the Swedish offer of an alliance, but is generally opposed to the formation of a military alliance against France and as such, Russia shall not intervene if Sweden invades France. However, if a French Invasion of Sweden were to take place, Russia would in that case help Sweden defend its borders.
 * Bavaria: With the threat of war growing conscription is increased. We continue to improve infrastructure. On the western border with France we begin the construction of a series of forts. Finally we offer a defensive alliance to the states of Baden and Wurttemberg against France.
 * Baden accepts.
 * Wurttemburg accepts.
 * Denmark-Norway: Reforms in farming continue, with production remaining high throughout the country. We continue expansion in Greenland, though it is slowed slightly, so we only expand 200 more pixels in. Improvements in military continue, with our military standing at a solid 130,000 men on active duty. We successfully set up a small colony in northern Canada, and name it (admittedly uncreatively) North Canada.
