Principia Moderni IV (Map Game)

The Ming Dynasty still rules over the vast lands of China. On the other side of the world, the Hundred Years War continues between England and France. Europe is still stuck in the old ways of feudalism and chivalry while the notions of a New World are considered figments of imagination.

We welcome you to the long-awaited fourth expansion of that immortal series. Welcome to Principia Moderni IV! Starting in 1400 AD, this is the dawn of the modern world and the tail end of the Middle Ages. The Renaissance is just kicking off in Europe, while the nations in the western side of the continent are locked in the last gasp of the Hundred Years War. The Muslim world is still reeling from the invasions of Turks and Mongols, with the Caliphate resting in the collapsing Mamluk Egypt and the Ottomans on the rise in Anatolia. Make it count.

The first game was the most successful on the wiki, leading all the way to the modern day with mostly plausible posts and little controversy. The second game reached almost to the modern day, but failed due to a plethora of ASB events and moderator bias. The third game was much more worthy of the first, almost running into implausibility but climbing back into a shining glory by the end. Riding on the latest reforms of map games since the end of PMIII, this is the most logical next step in that evolution. Remember  above all other rules, — have fun.

Moderator Strikes
These are strikes for moderators and how they moderate. The same three strikes rules apply. If a moderator is banned from moderating, however, they can still play as their nation. Mod strikes can be delivered in one of three ways: Moderators can be given strikes for the following reasons:
 * 1) If a sufficient number of players (more than half of all players voting) vote to give a moderator a strike.
 * 2) If I, Scraw, give them a strike.
 * 3) If a majority of all mods (i.e., more than half of the total number of mods, excluding that moderator) vote to give a moderator a strike.
 * 1) Exhibiting bias that would benefit the nation they are playing.
 * 2) Exhibiting bias that would negatively affect a player they have a personal dispute with.
 * 3) Making a ruling that contradicts a proven fact from OTL or an established fact from earlier in the game.
 * 4) Overruling a decision of a majority of moderators.

'''Zimmerman in Aztlan becomes Tolan's right hand man in the revolution. (Nateevent)'''
 * Empire of Uluru: Work is done to complete the implementation of medical and economic reforms from China. Agriculture is revolutionized among the Royal Lands directly owned by the monarch, creating an immediate imbalance between the economy of the royal court and the feudal lords. Medical technology from the foreigners completely inoculates the citizens from possible epidemics. The scholars and Dreamspeakers forms a syncretic theology between Confucianism and the Cult of Ngintaka, believing Lord Ngintaka gave the Mandate of Heaven down to Tjilbruke 350 years ago. To that end, Emperor Bambam deploys Dickadick to proceed annexing the feudal lords, utilizing the military technology of the British and Chinese in the form of muskets and cannons. Trade is maintained with Britain. Amabassadors continue to be welcomed from both Swahili and China in the court of Ngarrindjeri. Fascinated by the outsiders, the Emperor asks for information on their religions, as well as a printing press. He offers to provide more direct opportunities of colonization if associated nations would provide transportation technology, such as shipwrights, docks and sailing vessals. As the feudal lords are being annexed, one of them the called the Bakan of Jarrah draws closer to the Dutch and Malay who have colonies in his domain hoping to use them to maintain his soveriegnty. 
 * Papal Diplomacy: A ship from the Japanese Diocese of Nagasaki arrives in Uluru carrying Bishop Fransisco Bruno, who Pope Innocent IX, the leader of the great universal Church, has appointed Nuncio to the great court of Ngarrindjeri. Nuncio Bruno greets the great Emperor Bambam, and through an interpreter, expresses his desire to learn of Uluruan culture, and to teach the Uluruan court of the religion of a great part of the rest of the world. He brings with him a number of priests of this religion, who are schooled in both the faith and the natural sciences.
 * Scandinavia: Seeing the use of a Courland state he recognizes the Independence of Courland before offering an alliance and trading offer. (Courland response) More later.
 * Courland accepts the independence and trading offer, but holds off on any formal alliances until the election of 1785 (as the Curonian Charter requires parliamentary ratification of any alliances).
 * In the Principality of Courland, Prince Waldo Hölzer completes the siege of Ventspils with minimal bloodshed. He then marches down to Jurmala, where popular support had led to the city's revolt from Scandinavian rule. With practically all of Courland under the control of Prince Waldo, he issues the Curonian Charter, which documents the rights of the people and nobles as well as the structure of the Parliament. The first elections are scheduled for 1785, and for now Prince Waldo rules alongside Ludvigs Beck.
 * The Kingdom of Mzerka and Wiyot: The National Congress creates as a form of union between the sejms "the Union of Sejms in The kingdom of Mzerka and Wiyot" this will serve as a lower house of the "National Congress of the Kingdom of Mzerka and Wiyot". The National Congress also Begins to Lay claims to the Iberian regions of Baja and Sanora in the name of protecting the local natives with our common culture and languages. The "Forças armadas nacionais" and the "Forças armadas reais" cross the border over to Baja and to Sanora and begin occupying those land to protect the local from any barbarians and raiders since they can't defend their self in these times of crisis and chaos
 * Papal States: Three years after Pope Innocent IX requested it, the Church is finally able to organise a ship to sail from the Diocese of Nagasaki. Aboard is Bishop Francisco Bruno, a member of the Congregation for the Missions, who Pope Innocent has appointed Nuncio to Uluru. It is hoped that the expedition will yield good results. At home, the Parlamento makes rules relating to standardising the road toll system, weights and measures, and taxes throughout the States. The Parlamento creates a Committee for Standardisation, composed of experts, largely Immaculata scientists. In other news another lay woman is accepted to the University of Bologna, the first since the scandal involving Theresa Cornaro fifty years ago led to no laywomen being accepted into universities. She is taking a doctorate in science. The Immaculata Observatory continues its scientific work. Missions continue, particularly in the Zulu lands, which are promoted from mere mission territory to Apostolic Vicariate.
 * Cologne: Archbishop Ludwich reiterates his offer to the other ex-HRE states and works further on the constitution of the Rhineland League this year. He consolidates the main things that kept the HRE divided and vows to make them different in the Rhineland League. In addition to always receiving a vote in the nationwide Council, each Member State is to receive a certain degree of independence but be generally required to adhere to any acts decided upon by the Council. This includes coming to the aid of the Rhineland League in wars, with a small percentage of all adult men to be conscripted in emergency situations where the very existence of the Rhineland League is at risk. He also establishes the heart of the Rhenish Court of Justice in one of the biggest universities in Berg, emphasising to the people that there should be a separation between the government and those who keep the government accountable. This Court establishes a very large library using the resources of the University of Cologne (and the entire network of the Adelphinian Order) and many young Rhenish people begin to study to eventually join the Justice System. Archbishop Ludwich also makes sure, at Abbess Marie’s request, that every Member State has a fully-functioning Order of St Adelphina for young women seeking future betterment for their nation.
 * Essen: Abbess Marie hears of His Holiness’s new connection with the Uluruan people and offers to send an advisor from the Adelphinian Order to the Uluruan Nuncio. She refers to the good work the Adelphinian Canonesses have managed to do through peaceful measures and the integration of local customs with the Catholic teachings, particularly with respect to education, and says that the Canonesses are more than willing to assist. Meanwhile, Aleksander Zimmerman is chuffed (quietly, because he’s too proud to admit it outright) that Tolan chose him as his right hand man, and allows himself to get more invested in the Aztlan revolution. He becomes an instrumental organiser, and (perversely) looks forward to the first battle he will actually be involved in. The ideals in Aztlan are strong, and they excite Zimmerman immensely. He keeps up his letters to Jean Lopez, but this year he meets a trio of women known colloquially as the “Essen Sisters” – some canonesses who have not remained as loyal to the Adelphinian Order and instead become more interested in the Aztlan revolution. The Essen Sisters – Angelika, Elena and Romy – are intelligent and witty, clearly educated very well, and Zimmerman takes an interest in them. One look into Elena’s eyes and she’s helpless; on the other hand, he fears that Angelika may never be satisfied. By the end of the year, he and Elena are happily married (canonesses don’t take vows of chastity), but still he has to return to the war. Meanwhile coal continues to be traded in Essen and the Tagalog canonesses in Tondo begin to pay close attention to what is going on, given that they have finally recovered from the hurricane.
 * Malaya: With the ascension of King Azula, a change of mindset within the nation has occured as well. Following the Conference of Nangang, Malaya wishes to extend relations with Japan, and engage in cultural exchange. [Japanese Response Needed] Roads are repaved in North Borneo, while New ones are in the process of being built towards the south.
 * Japanese Dip: We accept the Malayan request to extend relations with us and agree to engage in cultural exchange. We send emissaries and trade ships to open up trade routes and help Malaya learn about Japanese culture. We hold a celebration for the ascension of King Azula, and urge him to throw off Burgundian control of his realm, for it is holding Malaya back from its true greatness.


 * Swahili: We continue our agriculture policies and adapt more plants to the Swahili climate. The army continues convincing contracted servants. We continue colonial expansion in Northern Somalia, in the South and in the Malindi and Mombassa area. Colonisation steadily increase as medicine and weaponry becomes more widespread. A scholar-farmer in Malindi continues testing selective breeding. Islamic reactionary forces begin organizing against what they see as heretical influences from the West. An emissary to the Uluru is sent with a printing press, along with copies of a new translation of the Swahili Quran. This move is seen as the last straw by religious reactionaries, who begin to assemble militias, particularly in Somalia and Qamar.
 * Lakshadweep: The island of Lakshadweep continues development.
 * Sefuwa: The colony of Sefuwa continues the construction of a port.
 * Huriya: Swahili culture is brought by merchants and diplomats.
 * Rowzi: Swahili culture is brought by merchants and diplomats.


 * Borneo: News of Aztlan and Argentina (I believe?) secession reaches the islands. A group named Anak-anak Srivijaya rises up spreading anti-French propaganda among the people. In the capital, Brunei Darussalum riots break out targeting French soldiers, they are relatively easy to put down but casualties occur with seven dead. The rajah Tenuk, being a rather weak leader, reacts very badly by summoning more French troops to the capital which seems to only fan the flames of the people anger.
 * Japanese Secret Diplomacy: We begin to fund and support the Borneo Independence Movement against French rule in the guise of an official trade mission to the capital, Brunei Darussalum. We send in military organizers, advisers, and traders, smuggling in guns and ammo as well as food for supplies. We urge Borneo to fight for their independence immediately, the era of the French is over, the era of the Borneans is now!
 * Pontus:   The country continues to modernize and the missionaries of the Armenian Apostolic Church travel with Russian help toward the Russian Arcadian colonies. One of the missionary groups boards a ship on the Russian Far East port and travels to China to talk about missionary work in China. (Candies RESPONSE).  A new merchant fleet is constructed in Trebizond.
 * Ququququ:The Koito reform continues and as the Ququququ nation is finally stable enough, the outlying tribes are contacted in order to induce them into the Union. (basically, slow map expansion, approved by Feud). The Japanese contact continues, and Ququququ continue adopting children born of interracial relations in the Jin port, in order to avoid the infanticide. With a solidified rule the Ququququ are now a most formidable force in the region, with infrastructural advancement putting them on a higher level than any other tribes, as well as their linguistic unity. Moreover, the Ququququ slowly organize their military and begin creating better weapons compared to their non-organized neighbours, using metals such as iron, with guidance of the Nangang emissaries. As the nation is much more stable right now, the Ququququ begin outreaching to more tribes, preparing their next step of expansion as the Council notices the Japanese and Jin superiority compared to Ququququ, so they understand that they too must expand in order to develop. The Ququququ council, following the Treaty of Bosavi decides it is high time to expand and solidify its status as the primary ruler of the Papuan island.
 * Japanese Dip: We send several high class government administrators, experts in statecraft, to assist Ququququ's centralization efforts, helping them form an effective central government by introducing taxation to the emerging nation state.
 * United Kingdom of Great Britain: The situation in Iberian Laurentia and Arcadia is very interesting but the British keep clear of it for now unsure what to make of it. James Cook sets out on his second voyage carrying 200 muskets and appropriate amounts of powder and munitions and sets sail for Australia to trade his items for strange new stuff. Lactose is identified as a sugar by Carl Wilhelm Scheele. Dr John Aikin publishes his Biographical Memoirs of Medicine in Great Britain, the first English language historical dictionary of physicians. Thomas Earnshaw devises the spring detent escapement for marine chronometers. There is a continued growth in industry of textiles, iron manufacture and further construction of canals to allow the movement of raw materials such as coal and food. More coal mines open up to fuel the growing production of steelworks. The canal system is expanded as new cities develop. The poll tax used in England is introduced to Ireland at a lower rate. England has 7.2 million people and inside of that London has a population of 0.8 million, Wales has 0.6 million, Ireland has 3.5 million people and Scotland 1.1 million. The British army has 3000 in Portsmouth, 3000 in Aldershot, 2000 in Scotland, 3000 in Ireland while 2000 in Arcadia, 2000 in Casablanca, 1000 in English Maiam, 1000 in Haiti as well as 500 in St George, St Helena, New Canterbury and Bay of Kost. Criminals are deported to Arcadia.
 * British Arcadia: With new land opportunities opening up leading to settlers being willing to move from Europe and claim land and a continuing rise in the wages of British people leading to higher demand for Arcadian cash crops leads to more people moving out west. Colonists expand 50 px up the Mander (Tennessee) creating farms, ranches and some fishermen on the western banks. In addition the Northwest territory is established with claims staked out in OTL Pennsylvania and more immigrants establishing farms creating a clear border. Foodstuffs are exported to Britain for cheap prices due to lower land and wage costs.
 * Russia: Novoruthenia is expanded north. Continued settlement of the Pyotr Archipeligo gives way to the term "Island Towns" to describe the little villages set up. Polish emigration to Siberia and Alaska continues to stay minor. We take it as an insult and an act of aggression by the Tlingut peoples after they kill an Orthodox priest in a village called Jasha (OTL Juneau, Alaska). Word about Atlzan reaches Cinigrad and later Gorod Vostok. The local governments begin to send weapons to Atzlan through small ships to make their way past Iberian privateers. With Iberian colonies in chaos and more settlement in Saint Abraham, Russia claims area all the way down to OTL Oregon California border. Another armaments foundry is opened in Cinigrad as the city's population is 3000.


 * Iberia: In early 1780, Southern Arcadia is engulfed in civil war. About 15,000 Iberian "Royalist" forces are left scattered throughout the continent. With their reserves depleted during the winter of 1779-80, the royalists find themselves vastly outnumbered by various rebel groups, the largest of which being the Aztlan separatists. Other factions vying for control of Southern Arcadia include the Maian royalists, rallying over 28,000 troops led by a Mayan pretender who seeks to restore the Maian monarchy; the Mayan and Mexican traditionalists with uncountable irregulars; the Guatemalan separatists with about 6000 troops, seeking to form an independent state on the legal basis of the Kingdom of Guatemala; and smaller revolts in the north. Despite outnumbering the Iberian royalists, the rebels have, in fact, been losing ground, due to disorganization and infighting. In late summer, however, the tide turns again. Many of the other rebels join with Tolan's armies to resist colonial rule, and the movement gains momentum. Several battles are fought in central Maiam, forcing the Iberians on a retreat to the northwest. On September 2nd, the massed armies of Aztlan and their rebel allies march on Mexico City: the last major stronghold of the royalists and one of the two capitals of Maiam. All of this culminates in a decisive battle at Azcapotzalco, near Mexico City. The Iberian royalists are soundly defeated, representing a final blow to the colonial government. In a last-ditch attempt to secure the colonies of Southern Arcadia, Iberia sends all available fleets to blockade the coast of Aztlan and deny them naval power. This proves successful in its short-term goal, but only delays the inevitable. By the end of the year, the rebels (Aztlani or otherwise) control all of Southern Arcadia. The revolution against Iberia is effectively over. The northern viceroyalties, kingdoms, and colonies (including Nova Astúrias and Nova Galiza) become dependent on Aztlan, while the scattered missions of the Califórnias and Sonora reluctantly accept Mzerkan rule under threat of force. Mêcicipi, Texas, and the Henriqia Territory remain part of the Iberian Empire.

'''The volcano on Mount Rainier erupts, causing damage to the surrounding lands, including the Salish nation, as well as minor damage to Mzerka, mostly in form of smoke. This also causes a shift in the climate in the region, and harsher winters are to be expected. (Requested by Falcon, approved by Sky and Nate)'''

 An epidemic skin disease, known by the natives as Black Fever spreads to the settlements of Malaya, Burgundy, China and Japan as they attempt to colonize Anangeia/Shengdia 

''' After crushing the royalist forces at the siege of Atzacoalco, The Congress of Hundred begins consolidating their government, requesting to negotiate the end of militarization with Mzerka. At the same time, the Congress orders Tolan to organize further invasions south and north, in an attempt to seize the Isthmus of Panama as well as push the front into Texas. Request is asked to Britain for assistance in this endeavor. '''
 * Empire of Uluru: In the first part of the year, Emperor Bambam continues the policies of centralization and reformation based on the technology of China and Britain. Confucianism continues to be adopted in the government and institutions, establishing Ngintaka's Mandate of Heaven passed by the Dreamspeakers from the First Ones. As many feudal lords are annexed, their lands are replaced with local magistrates directly controlled by the monarch. Agricultural reforms and infrastructure revolutionizes the nation, as the population reaches nine million this year. Medical technology continues to inoculate from disease. The printing press from Swahili is immediately used to mass produce books brought from other worlds, and all the scholars and upper class are taught languages in Hangul, Latin and Arabic to understand these books. In June, Bambam dies, and his son Daku succeeds him. Emperor Daku is fascinated by both the Islamic religion of Swahili, and the Christian religion of Europe. Daku realizes that, having been properly educated about the state of the world and Uluru's position in it, that it is impossible for the nation to stand on its own in the face of these larger powers. The former gods of the First Ones and Lord Ngintaka himself is too weak to match the gods of Islam and Christianity. Therefore, he must investigate how to properly ensure Uluru's continued safty in the future. To this end, Emperor Daku and General Dickadick invites the United Kingdom of Great Britain, the Sultante of Swahili, and the Jin Dynasty of China to the Council of Ngarrindjeri to decide the ultimate fate of the Uluru nation and its people. 
 * ​Papal Dip: The Papal Nuncio, Bishop Fransisco Bruno, who arrived in Uluru last year, asks the new Emperor for permissions for his priests to teach the Christian religion to the Court and the general population. The priests also offer to set up small hospitals using European scientific medicine.


 * Jin dynasty: With black fever arriving in colonial settlements, many colonists blame purposeful transmission by hostile natives. Physicians begin an autopsy of victims, and conclude that it is a parasitic infection inducing the swelling of the liver. To combat outbreaks, facilities promoting sanitation and hygiene (such as latrines, bathhouses) are built in the colony. Despite the efforts, some colonists begin to conduct their own biological warfare, with bands of vigilantes catapulting bodies infected with smallpox to native settlements. The colonial government begins a crackdown on these vigilantes, not wanting a conflict with the Uluruns. Tiwei grows to about a thousand settlers, and about five hundred seasonal military personnel. In Korea, Eastern-rite Church continues to fall in popularity, as Catholicism and the Church of the East continues to gain followers. Confucianism is established as the state religion, and people are encouraged to convert into Confucianism. Suolong and Nangang both expand. To keep up with the increasing material demands of the colony, restrictions against fire-fallow cultivation is abolished, and land is freely given to peasants, which also provides an incentive for settlement from China. This leads to rapid deforestation of the forest, with found native settlements and tribes having the choice of being converted under Confucianism and maintaining their independence as an autonomous municipality, or being forcibly expelled and forced upland. In an effort to eradicate the local culture, miscegenation is highly encouraged between the settlers and the "civilized" Confucianized natives. The policy of militarization continues to be pursued, with shipyards, arsenals, and industrial facilities dedicated to producing armaments and other military-related objects being built. Basic sanitation continues to be promoted: public bathhouses, spas, latrines, and sewage systems are all built. Adequate irrigation alongside other projections such as mass distribution of pluviometres and water gauges create an increase in the productivity of agriculture. In addition, agriculturalists begin promoting the usage of compost (made from excess/leftover vegetable matter) to further boost productivity and yield. To facilitate transportation and growing merchantile acitvities, paved roads are built. Commercialization and the division of labour continues, resulting from a heightened demand for commercial goods from both the domestic and foreign market.
 * Nivkh Commandery: Tiger Pastries Inc., a subsidiary of Lady Lin Tea, continues to flourish as a business. The Nivkh Prince-Governor (which is the member of the Nivkh Ayzik branch of the House of Kim) continues to adopt Korean and Chinese architecture, paving roads to facilitate transport, and replacing wood and thatch roofing with stone bricks and clay tiles, respectively.
 * Sakha (protectorate): The Khan continues to adopt Korean and Chinese architecture, paving roads to facilitate transport, and replacing wood and thatch roofing with stone bricks and clay tiles, respectively. Siberian crab-apples become a local renowned fruit, and is particularly prized in Korea and northern China.
 * Xizang (protectorate): Lhasa, the capital, is expanded and modernized. The Tibetan clergy continues to administer the protectorate, with its leader, the Dalai Lama, being considered a vassal or substitute monarch. Many Tibetans are encouraged (via financial incentives) to become more sedentary, with food instead being supplied from nearby Sichuan (thereby reducing overreliance in inefficient herding).
 * North Mongolia: Yurt is further settled. A healthy aquiculture industry is established, harvesting and raising fish from the Baikal Lake.
 * Malaya: The Anangeia Expeditions are put on hold, while the sick will either seek treatment in the Uluru Empire or return to Malaya. An experimental craft is created in Malacca, designed to dive underwater. It is released within an empty port and allowed to submerge to the bottom. The Bruneian declaration of independence is an interesting development, and as our Burgundian overlords don't play nice with France, we support the declaration of their independence from France. Irrigation into central Borneo begins.


 * The Kingdom of Mzerka and Wiyot: The National Congress creates the Sejm of San Diego, La Paz, Monterrey and many more sejms in the former Iberia lands of Baja and Sanora. The union of Sejms believes that Baja due to its low population should not have many sjems but rather a few ones with a big area and the population of the Mzerkan Sjems. The National Congress appoints Antonio Zimmermann as ambassador to the Aztlan Federation and he requests that the Leader of their federation should Meet king Philipe Augusthino Diltwa II as a sign of friendship between the two nations and to discuss Oor future. (Mod response). The "Forças armadas reais" also places the Royal flag of Mzerka the "bandeira de cristo" on the town hall of San Diego,This is so that the Iberians and other locals know that they are now back into safety protect by the "Forças armadas reais". They mostly just defend occupied lands, keep order, punish criminals and give aid to the people. The "Forças armadas nacionais" find an Iberian printer for the first time and after some discussion and permission asking, they print a copy of the first Bible to ever arrive in the at that time Tribe of Sinkyone. This advancement is seen by the National Congress and they see the great potential in these printers and they promote people to make more Printers and print great literature for the Mzerkan spirit. The king, hearing of people with new ideas of state and religion, begins to allow these so long as they don't become just rude insults to God, king and country.


 * Swahili: We continue our agriculture policies and adapt more plants to the Swahili climate. The army continues convincing contracted servants. We continue colonial expansion in Northern Somalia, in the South and in the Malindi and Mombassa area. Colonisation steadily increase as medicine and weaponry becomes more widespread. A scholar-farmer in Malindi continues testing selective breeding. The new mosque in Dars As Saleem is finished, with a large painting of Muhammed being visited by Gabriel. Some new Islam missionaries visits Somalia and is murdered by reactionary forces. The Sultan sends a police force to capture the perpetrator. 
 * Lakshadweep: The island of Lakshadweep continues development.
 * Sefuwa: The colony of Sefuwa continues development.
 * Huriya: Swahili culture is brought by merchants and diplomats.
 * Rowzi: Swahili culture is brought by merchants and diplomats.


 * Salish Nation: Our nation is devastated. The mountain belched fire and smoke, destroying our crops. Some of our people suggest that this was due to us straying from the ways of the gods, renewing interest in them. Horsemen begin raiding east of the mountains, gathering food from the lands of Walla Walla, and we request Mzerka send aid in the wake of this disaster. Many of our people in our northern settlement go to live with the Russians. Tacoma (OTL Astoria) is less devastated, and the administration is temporarily moves there. To protect against other tribes stealing our food, walls are constructed around our major settlements.
 * Borneo: With Japanese help the influence of the Anak-anak srivijaya grows, due to now dubbed "massacre at Brunei"  presence of French soldiers only further spreads the sentiment. The rajah fearful of these dissidents begins to alienate many of his native Borneans commanders in favor of French commanders. An incident occurs where spices are burned in protest, the rajah in response places heavy taxes on oil paper and matches.
 * Papal States: There is a significant flurry of activity in the Immaculata Observatory this year as Father Guglielmo Herselli announces he believes he has discovered a seventh planet. His superior at the observatory is able to independently verify the observations. Father Herselli then publishes his findings. He is yet to decide on a name for the new planet, although there are no end of suggestions from others: Innocentium Sidus (Innocent's Star, after the Pope), Ignatius (after Saint Ignazio d'Iasso, the founder of the Imaculata), Immaculata (after both the order and the Blessed Virgin's Immaculate Conception), or Janus (after the Roman god). Pope Innocent congratulates Fr Herselli on the discovery. In more worldly matters, the Pope, on the advice of the Parlamento, officially integrates the occupied portions of Italy into the States. They are given their own representation (of towns, nobility, gentry, peasants, clergy, guilds, merchants) in the Parlamento. Missions continue.
 * United Kingdom of Great Britain: With the Congress of the Hundred having requested the British aid in their war for independence for Iberia and having gained significant ground. The British agree to support the Congress of the Hundred and a task force commanded by Admiral Harvey is dispatched from London consisting of 50 ships, 7000 soldiers and marines. The task force heads for Texas and Harvey lands at OTL Houston attacking the settlement. 5000 Americans led by Alexander Washington lead an overland expedition going from the Mander River to the Iberian settlement at OTL Memphis. Tolan is encouraged to launch an invasion of Texas while a Lieutenant General James Mattis an experienced officer is sent to temporarily aid the rebel forces by training and advising them. There is a continued growth in industry of textiles, iron manufacture and further construction of canals to allow the movement of raw materials such as coal and food. More coal mines open up to fuel the growing production of steelworks. Archibald Cochrane, 9th Earl of Dundonald is granted a British patent for the manufacture of coal tar.  William Herschel observes Uranus (although initially recording it as a comet). The canal system is expanded as new cities develop. England has 7.2 million people and inside of that London has a population of 0.8 million, Wales has 0.6 million, Ireland has 3.5 million people and Scotland 1.1 million. The British army has 3000 in Portsmouth, 3000 in Aldershot, 2000 in Scotland, 3000 in Ireland while 2000 in Arcadia, 2000 in Casablanca, 1000 in English Maiam, 3000 in Haiti as well as 500 in St George, St Helena, New Canterbury and Bay of Kost. Criminals are deported to Arcadia. The navy has 50 ships in New London, Port au Prince and the remaining divided between Bristol and Portsmouth or with Admiral Harvey.
 * British Arcadia: As violence breaks out in the colonies the militia are drafted to fight and defend the country, most Arcadian's are not unhappy about the fighting since it is benefiting them by possibly gaining more land. The harsher winter this year is frustrating but one must endure.
 * Ququququ:The Koito reform continues and as the Ququququ nation is finally stable enough, the outlying tribes are contacted in order to induce them into the Union. (basically, slow map expansion, approved by Feud). The Japanese contact continues, and Ququququ continue adopting children born of interracial relations in the Jin port, in order to avoid the infanticide. With a solidified rule the Ququququ are now a most formidable force in the region, with infrastructural advancement putting them on a higher level than any other tribes, as well as their linguistic unity. Moreover, the Ququququ slowly organize their military and begin creating better weapons compared to their non-organized neighbours, using metals such as iron, with guidance of the Nangang emissaries. As the nation is much more stable right now, the Ququququ begin outreaching to more tribes, preparing their next step of expansion as the Council notices the Japanese and Jin superiority compared to Ququququ, so they understand that they too must expand in order to develop. The Ququququ council, following the Treaty of Bosavi decides it is high time to expand and solidify its status as the primary ruler of the Papuan island.
 * Empire of Japan: The year continues to be dominated by diplomacy, much to the neglect of domestic policy, which has been resigned to interior ministers for the time being. Emperor Yashimaru and the Shogun are estatic with the revolutionary fervor of Borneo,and add fuel to the fire of Borneo's Indpendence movement and we prepare for war against the French Empire, readying the full captability of the Imperial Japanese Navy into Indonesia. The attempts for Malaya to throw off Burgundian influence, however, has failed, much to the dissapointment of the government, and interest in them wanes though we thank them for supporting Borneo's independence movement and our attention shifts to Borneo. We are furious that Uluru did not invite us to the Council of Ngarrindjeri  but we are thankiful that the Jin Dynasty spoke on our behalf and we shall attend the Council next year. Doctors and Medicine experts are sent to the Shengdia colony in order to attend to the sick and find a cure to the Black Fever.
 * Hawaii: Settlement and colonzation continues, across our territories in the Pacific. Consolidation or conquest of the Polynesian islands by the Hawaiian client states continues. After brief encounters with the people of the south via trade with the Angu-Zia Union and other nations in the region, as well as the circulation of rumors and stories brought to Hawaii, primarily by European and Asian traders, the king sends a small group of ships from Angu-Zia to the south to possibly make contact with this group directly. The group encounters some regions that they believe correlate to the continent that Veron had mentioned years earlier, although having not encountered any groups of note the continue back to Hawaii.

The begins affecting the climate and so the next 40 years will be colder.

'''Connected to the Dalton Minimum, the Mount Rainier eruption will, combined with the Minimum, cause even harsher winters in the region. The Thames River routinely freezes solid, and ice caps appear in British Arcadia as well as the Volga during these months. '''

'''In light of Britain's pledge of support, Tolan abandons the southward campaign to focus on invading Texas. '''
 * Empire of Uluru: The Emperor Daku begins a program for mass education of the upper and middle classes in reading foreign alphabets, primarily Hangul, Arabic, and Latin scripts. The wealthiest of scholars at the Library of Ngarrindjeri are educated in the various books on Confucianism, Islam and Catholicism brought into the nation. Meanwhile, the combined technology from Britain and China are utilized to further centralize the nations, continuing to annex the nobles with guns and steel in order to place magestrates over their rule. A chronicle of Uluru, including the Mandate of Heaven given to Tjilbruke by Lord Ngintaka, is written this year in Hangul script. Catholic hospitals are accepted in the nation.  The Council of Ngarrindjeri Continues with Britain, China, and Swahili. In this year, many of the other sons of Yannathan from his varoius concubines begin gathering together into a larger conspiracy, hoping to use the defunct nobility to overthrow the Emperor.
 * Japanese Diplomacy: We request that Japan be invited to the Council of Ngarrindjeri, given the Chinese request and that we have colonial interests in the region.
 * Pueblo Confederacy:  We invade the Camanche territory  (mod response)  { I don't know how to do the Algorithm). Our forces consist of 3000 regular warriors, 1000 Navajo riders and archers, 500 armoured horse warriors, 200 Pueblo riflemen, as well as the 300 strong Iberian support army. We aim to penetrate their heartland and conquer one-third of what they consider their raiding ground (OTL Abilene). Our population has grown to 905,000. Further missions are established in the Navajo territory. Many Iberian loyalist flee to our territory. We send diplomats to the new governments of The Council of a Hundred asking for an alliance (Response). We also ask to join the Arcadian Congress.


 * Mzerkan Diplomacy:Our congress deeply disapproves of these wars and we think that Arcadian and Aztec states should not be warring at the moment but united together.
 * Pueblo Diplomacy: We are not warring with any Aztec, we are only fighting our ancestral antagonists the Comanche who raid us.
 * The Iberian troops are no longer fighting with you due to the independence of Aztlan. -General
 * Papal States: Rome, winter. Pope Innocent IX kneels at his predieu. He shivers. "Brrr," he says, the air condensing with his breath, "it sure is colder." After the Pope has some discussions with the Prefect for the Missions, the latter writes a memorandum for the Congregation for Missions, advising that the areas which will require the most missionaries from Europe within the coming decades will be the Zulu Apostolic Vicariate (including the Southern Africa Mission), the newly-established Uluru Mission, and Western Arcadia (Mzerka, Pueblo and surrounding region). Given the advancement of the Church in Japan, Korea and China, the local seminaries should be able to sustain the diocesan structures without too much additional external assistance from European missionaries. A similar situation exists in Eastern Arcadia, and Laurentia. The memorandum is significant insofar as it recognises the - at least partial- success of the drive to establish local clergy in mission territories. A ship of missionaries carrying both religious and scientific texts is sent to Uluru. Back at home, the integration of the formerly Italian territories continues. In scientific news, Father Herselli officially names the seventh planet Ignatius. Missions continue.
 * The Kingdom of Califórnia: After the king allowed the enlightenment in our nation he renames our Kingdom from The kingdom of Mzerka and Wiyot to the Kingdom of Califórnia. This name came to have a country not named after old tribal and ethnic names but after the geographic features of our lands our people call home. The "Forças armadas nacionais" while keep aiding and training the Aztlan forces begin to go to the east border to defend our lands and the comanche right to exist as a nation and that they should exist with the Pueblo. Our Congress asks the Comanche for an alliance with them. (Mod response). Our National Congress also begins talking about that they belive that Aztlan should compensate our nation with land and goods for our help in their war of independence. The National Congress also begins printing more texts with their Iberian printers the things printed are mostly legal documents that are falling into decay and need replacement.


 * Iberia: The blockade of Aztlan continues. 9000 troops are brought by sea to Iberian Arcadia to defend the colonies against Britain and Aztlan. Texas remains firmly on the Iberian side, not wishing to become part of the Aztlan Federation. 500 militia are raised at Santa Isabel (OTL San Antonio), while other forces mount a defense of the Santa Isabel River. In response to British incursions on the Mississippi, Mêcicipi makes an effort to fortify and settle the river, building forts at OTL West Memphis (opposite the British settlement) and Wickliffe. Fur traders and missionaries establish settlements at OTL Cape Girardeau; Columbus, Kentucky; Alton, Illinois; and Dubuque, Iowa. Panama City is fortified and garrisoned with 1000 troops. The Nootka settlement is abandoned following the collapse of the Iberian Empire in Arcadia, but most claims to the Pacific Northwest are transferred to Mzerka and Nova Galiza. Nova Lusitânia expands into its claimed border with Guyana. Maranhão expands along the Rio Branco.
 * Jaffarid Sultanate: Persian officially becomes a second language of Arabia. Literature and art from Tehran is moved into Baghdad.
 * Belkan Federation: After years of light cultural development and settlement in new regions reaching roughly about a decade of the new settlement, the Vozdh retires as the new election is held and dozens of political parties take part. The Conservative Slavocist Party and Isolationist Kamrovite Party take the lead with the Belkan "Restorationists" (monarchists) and the more nationalist All-Belka Party taking secondary positions. However, in a twist none of the parties take a majority and a coalition government is formed as a compromise. The first time a coalition government being in power a level headed Vozdh is also elected from the Slavocists. His name is Vladislav Milosevic and immediately he claims much popularity as he proposes legislation to change immigration laws allowing outside immigration once again. However to offset potential immigration overseas he allows a 15 year tax free period where people can go to the frontiers of the Belkan nation and take ownership of plots of land and develop them as well as gain a government stipend every year for the funding and development of these lands. The combination of the free-immigration act, the Frontier Settlement act, and the Frontier Taxation act leaves a huge amount of territory open and free to settlement of Belkan peoples. The option however is only open to Belkan citizens. Generally this leads to an unprecedented migration. The overcrowded core cities and core regions boasting nearly 65% of Belka's entire population between just three of the provinces sees an exodus. The government bereaucracy is flooded with requests and claims staked to plots of land. Visegrad and Chisnograd in Transylvania and Moldavia both see the lands fill extremely quickly. Tens of thousands of people flood the territories for settlement and Transylvania already experiencing a boom from the expansive mining and lumber industries sees a massive uptick in farming capacity too. The innovation of various proto-industries also begins to take place as the large amounts of coal in proximity to various major Belkan cities in Bulgaria, Serbia, and Vlach sees their worth expand. Another large group of settlers also settles on either side of the Aliakmon river responding to reports of coal deposits and easy jobs. The government in Belgrad rather than paying directly out of treasury for these acts takes out multiple loans having rebuilt the nations credit in the last few decades. These loans are used in their payout on the territory and it's expected the payout on the taxes of the newly settled regions will far outpace the loan expenses. Some of the older settlement opportunities are already reporting record profits which gives the Duma insight into future wealth coming out of these regions. It's estimated in the last three years alone almost 650,000 Belkans from Serbia, Bulgaria, and Vlach have settled in the sparsely populated regions of the country. Sarajevo reportedly sees its population double from 60,000 to almost 120,000 in just the last few years and its formerly empty territories outside the city throughout Bosnia have taken on a huge amount of new people. In the Duma the legislation to push for expanding into a Belkan colonial empire takes shape as Tunis begins to be developed into a massive military base and storehouse permanently housing 30 ships from the navy and now nearly 25,000 troops. Tunis in particular has also seen a decent amount of immigrant influx as opportunists take up residence and begin establishing a surprisingly large Belkan ethnic population of almost 15,000 in the City. Professional projections of Belkas growth put its population to Crest 20 million soon and with the population boom expected from the newly settled frontier regions the Population is expected to explode and bypass Russia in the next few decades having much less distance to cover compared to the Russians in terms of land for settlement and development.
 * Ququququ:The Koito reform continues and as the Ququququ nation is finally stable enough, the outlying tribes are contacted in order to induce them into the Union. (basically, slow map expansion, approved by Feud). The Japanese contact continues, and Ququququ continue adopting children born of interracial relations in the Jin port, in order to avoid the infanticide. With a solidified rule the Ququququ are now a most formidable force in the region, with infrastructural advancement putting them on a higher level than any other tribes, as well as their linguistic unity. Moreover, the Ququququ slowly organize their military and begin creating better weapons compared to their non-organized neighbours, using metals such as iron, with guidance of the Nangang emissaries. As the nation is much more stable right now, the Ququququ begin outreaching to more tribes, preparing their next step of expansion as the Council notices the Japanese and Jin superiority compared to Ququququ, so they understand that they too must expand in order to develop. The Ququququ council, following the Treaty of Bosavi decides it is high time to expand and solidify its status as the primary ruler of the Papuan island.
 * United Kingdom of Great Britain: Having taken the anchorage and settlement at OTL Houston, Harvey Maintains position while Alexander Washington also maintains his position on the Mississippi blocking traffic going up and down while Tolan is expected to continue his advance into Texas with this progress having been made. A delivery of muskets and cannons is made to the Aztlan forces invading Texas while James Mattis continues to assist. There is a continued growth in industry of textiles, iron manufacture and further construction of canals to allow the movement of raw materials such as coal and food. More coal mines open up to fuel the growing production of steelworks. The canal system is expanded as new cities develop. England has 7.2 million people and inside of that London has a population of 0.8 million, Wales has 0.6 million, Ireland has 3.5 million people and Scotland 1.1 million. The British army has 3000 in Portsmouth, 3000 in Aldershot, 2000 in Scotland, 3000 in Ireland while 2000 in Arcadia, 2000 in Casablanca, 1000 in English Maiam, 3000 in Haiti as well as 500 in St George, St Helena, New Canterbury and Bay of Kost. Criminals are deported to Arcadia. The navy has 50 ships in New London, Port au Prince and the remaining divided between Bristol and Portsmouth or with Admiral Harvey.
 * British Arcadia: As violence breaks out in the colonies the militia is drafted to fight and defend the country, most Arcadians are not unhappy about the fighting since it is benefiting them by possibly gaining more land. The harsher winter this year is frustrating but one must endure.
 * Kingdom of Burgundy: New Germany and Guyana continue their settlement of their claimed territory. Patagonië expands 50 px. In light of the violence in Arcadia, Iberia is offered assistance in combatting the Aztlan invading texas. King Rogier declares open season on Aztlan shipping, and several cruising squadrons are stationed in Kuba and New Germany to combat the Aztlan at sea.
 * Hawaii: Settlement and colonization in the southern islands continues, particularly in the Marshall Islands, and in Polynesia, where Hawaiian-backed client states continue to expand. (Note: I have been planning on doing the following eventually, and considerably slower, but since I saw in Uluru's turn their entire nation is suddenly inoculated, I believe I can do something similar.) The king, taking note of the rising number of deaths from disease, searches for a solution to the problem. Inoculatation techniques learned from the nation's French allies and European missionaries proves to be successful in slowing the spread of disease, and as such the king orders all citizens of the kingdom to receive the treatement, undergoing the treatment himself in public along with his family. Explorations to the far south continue from our outposts near Angu-Zia, in an attempt to make formal contact with the empire supposedly inhabiting the southern continent.
 * Empire of Japan: Seeing no response from either Borneo's Independence Movement or retaliation from the French Colonial Empire naval build up is slowed down as to not ignite any unnecessary and premature conflicts that emerge from a rapid naval buildup, thus we wait in the silence of the year, waiting for the perfect moment to strike. In order to quell domestic unrest we turn our attention to domestic policy this year, mainly by improving our infrastructure. The mission in Ququququ continues as we keep on spurring their development and continue to colonize the Sake colony in Shengdi, directly below Ququququ. Expansion and war plans are also made in the shadows. Emperor Yashimaru goes in the sakura fields and Mt.Fujiama to be at peace and clear his mind, hoping to find enlightenment.
 * Anak-Anak Srivijaya:The dissidents secretly respond telling Japan to send an ambassador in disguise in order for communication
 * Borneo: The taxes placed on the people seem to only encourage the Anak-Anak Srivijaya groups activity. Propaganda depicting the rajah as a puppet of despicable foreigners continues. The support of the Anak-Anak Srivijaya group spreads through the countryside.
 * Russia: Novoruthenia expands inland. With the extra ordinary colder temperatures across the country, more people move into Mongolia, the Khanate, Yakutia, and south from Alyeska to Saint Abraham as the population booms to 1100 people with the winter migration. The Tlingit War continues to rage only slowing down to tiny three-man raids on native camps during the cold winter. Some groups of soldiers do to lengths of walking across the ice in coves to attack native camps stealing food and firewood. Savinkov, started to get into the last years of his life, begins to set up Prince Konstantin as the next leader. For Konstantin himself, he visits Hungary, to study their government. On the way there, he meets a man named Vladimir Pushkin, an Okrahana agent, and takes him to Hungary as a body guard. Pushkin is very interested in politics, and it's a member of the fringe conservative All Russia Party.

'''Rome and New Amsterdam are greeted with a snowy morning in the month of June. One could say that Rome and New Amsterdam are influenced by the cool times.'''

Comanches ally with Mzerka California.
 * Empire of Uluru: Mass education continues across the nation. Infrastructure and economic along with agricultural reforms continue, which allows the population to increase in more prosperity. Guns and other weapons are utilized to make the annexation of feudal lands much faster, as well as enforcing the empire's claim on the Inner Desert around the White Chapel. The chronicle of Uluru continues. The Council of Ngarrindjeri continues. A general revolt occurs by the remaining feudal lords, led by the Bakan of Jarrah (OTL Kimberly Land), against the rule of Daku. They accuse the emperor of being the weakest of Yannathan's sons, having allowed influences from the outsiders corrupt the balance of the universe. There are even some Dreamspeakers who join with their side, preaching blasphemy against the Emperor. Daku orders Dickadick to mount the military to crush the revolt, besieging the capital of Jarrah seven days until all the people were starved to death. Following this, Daku rounds up the remaining sons of Yannathan, many of them being formidable warriors, and orders them into exile. They take three ships of British design, and launch from the port of Dandiri (OTL Brisbane) to parts unknown, ordered to never return to Anangeia ever again.
 * OOC Person: No, I never gave you designs for ships. I gave you some firearms and even then you may struggle to replicate them.
 * Uluru Exiles: Bakan, seeing Uluru's victory with the help of the westerners, becomes extremely dissollusioned with the Chapel of the Dreamspeakers as he and his compatriots land on a barge in Tasmania.


 * Bengal Sultanate|Magadh: The nation of Awadh is annexed. The Sultan makes a visit to the region appointing his younger brother as Governor of the new local government before returning to Dhaka. The Jizyah is implemented in Awadh, the people of Awadh who had not even heard of Jizyah since the fall of the Delhi Sultanate revolt in reaction of the implementation of Jizyah. The revolt quickly spreads from Hastinapur in the west to Kannauj and Lakhnau. Peasant revolts occur in pockets in Assam and Burma in reaction to higher Jizyah rates and forced conversions. The revolt in the West comes to be led by two brothers, Shivansh Chauhan and Anirrudh Chauhan. The peasant revolt wreaks havoc in Bengal and quickly spins out of control to newer fronts bringing the intermediary-tiller conflict into the spotlight. Bands of peasants refuse to pay the dues to landlords and raid granaries on orders of local peasant leaders who promise a redistribution of land once the 'new' war is over. Back in Dhaka, one of the Sultan's minister, Uzair Ahmed Khan attempts a coup but fails. Uzair Khan escapes out of Dhaka and moves to Burma to organise a mass uprising against the oppressive Sultan, joining hands with the Burmese leader Ashin Zeya. In Assam, Debashish Dutta leads the peasant revolt which ends up with the hanging of the members of the local ruling dynasty. The Sultan finds himself surrounded by a group of 20,000 peasants on his way to Dhaka who are massacred by the 5000 infantrymen loyal to the Sultan. Another 20,000 infantrymen and cavalrymen loyal to the Sultan's government set out from Dhaka to suppress the opposition in Bengal. Uzair Khan and Ashin Jaya raise an army of 40,000 Burmese soldiers and move on to capture Chittagong. 200,000 soldiers of the Sultan's army openly revolt against the Sultan. Their leader General Zail Singh allies himself with the Chauhan brothers in a pact near Buxar. The local garrisons in Patna and Gaya close the city gates in anticipation of the Sultanat's response to the revolt. The Sultan takes shelter in Munger and is hanged by the townspeople during the night, by the afternoon the next day, Munger is burnt to the ground and its inhabitants massacred. A day after the Sultan's death, Dhaka falls under Ashin Jaya's troops. Following the fall of Dhaka, the leaders of the revolt(s) convene in Hemgarh. As the peasant revolt comes to an end, the intermediaries have mostly been eliminated and the faith of the peasantry lies with the council. The new council passes a decree abolishing the de-facto abolished intermediary system. The council decides to rename the nation to Magadh. The leaders initiate a wave of reforms, effectively placing the army under the command of the new council seated in Hemgarh and with Zail Singh as the new leader. A substantial amount of money in the royal treasury is diverted to the upgradation and construction of infrastructure in Burma, Assam and Bengal. Reconstruction efforts are spurred on by rich merchants sending money to their home-areas and making effective use of the bima-hundi method. A large amount of private investment flows to the government treasury as donations made by the temples and the people, donating gold. Even tyhe Thuggees involve themselves in the reconstruction of the nation in the aftermath of a war that has shook the societal structure of the nation and introduced many changes. A wave of new ideas proposed by the student groups finds popularity in the newly freed masses. Eastern parts of Awadh, the area around Patna and Western parts of Bengal are gripped by a famine. The government tries to transport food grains to the famine-affected areas but major efforts fail as a result of the internal tariff system which the state now perceives as barriers to aid efforts.
 * Malaya: Ideas from the Bornean Anak-anak Srivijaya movement begin to seep into Malaya, with the Nusantara movement being established in two seperate branches, on in Penang, and the other in Sandakan. An explorer has returned from the Anageia expeditions, carrying along various specimens and the Black Fever. Unfortunately, the infected sailors have seemingly transmitted the Black Fever to others in the town of Balikpapan, where the infection count stands at 7. Medical assistance has been called from the capital, as such a disease had not been encountered before.
 * Japanese Secret Diplomacy: We are extremely excited that the Nusantara movement has taken hold to oust Burgundian rule and we send arms, supplies and diplomats in order to support the movement.
 * Kingom of Califórnia: The National Congress lets enlightened philosophers speak and write openly without any opresion but they do not promote it yet as it benefits aren't yet seen. Printers of Iberian craft are begining to be copied for official porposes to create more laws on to paper and even some rights.Our union of sejms also begins to encourage Iberians in the aztlan federation to come live in our nation were they can live without opression of their people and with their legal status kepth.We also keep aiding the Aztlan with their war (in secret) but we do demand them handing over control of some lands to us.


 * Swahili: We continue our agriculture policies and adapt more plants to the Swahili climate. The army continues convincing contracted servants. We continue colonial expansion in Northern Somalia, in the South and in the Malindi and Mombassa area. Colonisation steadily increase as medicine and weaponry becomes more widespread. A scholar-farmer in Malindi continues testing selective breeding. Armed militias in Somalia murder the police force. Led by Imam Zakia Abdullah, Somalia rises against Dar As Saleem and campaigns to destroy the heretical beliefs. Qamar soon joins in. Most of Swahili, the army and the navy remains under the control of Swahili loyalists. The Island of Qamar is blockaded. Hurray and Rowzi is asked to provide support for the loyalists. Defenses are erected along the river of Tana.
 * Lakshadweep: The island of Lakshadweep continues development.
 * Sefuwa: The colony of Sefuwa continues development.
 * Huriya: Swahili culture is brought by merchants and diplomats.
 * Rowzi: Swahili culture is brought by merchants and diplomats. The regiment continues being stationed.
 * Ququququ:The Koito reform continues and as the Ququququ nation is finally stable enough, the outlying tribes are contacted in order to induce them into the Union. (basically, slow map expansion, approved by Feud). The Japanese contact continues, and Ququququ continue adopting children born of interracial relations in the Jin port, in order to avoid the infanticide. With a solidified rule the Ququququ are now a most formidable force in the region, with infrastructural advancement putting them on a higher level than any other tribes, as well as their linguistic unity. Moreover, the Ququququ slowly organize their military and begin creating better weapons compared to their non-organized neighbours, using metals such as iron, with guidance of the Nangang emissaries. As the nation is much more stable right now, the Ququququ begin outreaching to more tribes, preparing their next step of expansion as the Council notices the Japanese and Jin superiority compared to Ququququ, so they understand that they too must expand in order to develop. The Ququququ council, following the Treaty of Bosavi decides it is high time to expand and solidify its status as the primary ruler of the Papuan island.
 * Belkan Federation: The continued push for the settlement acts as the three acts of settlement put to law by Vozdh Milosevic expands as nearly 150,000 people this year alone flee the overcrowded core regions. However of those 150,000 its catalogued that roughly 75% of them have settled in Greece and Krete. Greece in particular has taken on a big influx of immigration from the core due to the large amount of free land as well as the large amount of resources which currently remain known but unused. Krete is more or less just a paradise which is highly attractive which sees Krete become a popular destination for merchants and seamen who wish to make their living based out of Krete. The population of Belka reaches 18.4 million and growing as the growth in frontier regions begins to pick up. As a result of movement out of the overcrowded cities the people who are now starting to go out of work due to higher productivity of farms begin moving towards cities and "factories" nearby cities which produce textiles, steel, ironworks. Many nearby towns and villages as well as Belgrad in particular see an upswing in population and are forced to expand as a result of the opening of the factories some of which lie up on the Danube and Sava rivers. Further along the Danube as Vidin in Bulgaria a series of river powered mills and factories are opened to produce more textiles, steel, iron products, interestingly enough Belgrad sees only a few arms manufactories open up as current demand for arms is low. However the production of munitions is rather high as the stockpiles are kept high to allow for the occurance of a massive major war which is extremely possible.
 * Papal Dip: The Stading Committee for Council Preparations requests the Belkan government for permission to hold an Ecumenical Council in Constantinople beginning in 1785.
 * United Kingdom of Great Britain: Seeing fighting in Bengal and the annexation of Awadh and the subsquent persecution of non- Muslims the British east India company proposes a coaltion to Dehli, Gwalior, Punjab, Khandesh, Jagdalpur and Nagpur to launch an invasion of Awadh to liberate the Hindus. (Mod response) Harvey continues to hold his position while Washington blocks traffic along the river. Other than this little offensive efforts made. There is a continued growth in industry of textiles, iron manufacture and further construction of canals to allow the movement of raw materials such as coal and food. More coal mines open up to fuel the growing production of steelworks. Henry Cort of Funtley, England, invents the grooved rolling mill for producing bar iron. Thomas Bell patents a method of printing on fabric from engraved cylinders. The canal system is expanded as new cities develop. England has 7.2 million people and inside of that London has a population of 0.8 million, Wales has 0.6 million, Ireland has 3.5 million people and Scotland 1.1 million. The British army has 3000 in Portsmouth, 3000 in Aldershot, 2000 in Scotland, 3000 in Ireland while 2000 in Arcadia, 2000 in Casablanca, 1000 in English Maiam, 3000 in Haiti as well as 500 in St George, St Helena, New Canterbury and Bay of Kost. Criminals are deported to Arcadia. The navy has 50 ships in New London, Port au Prince and the remaining divided between Bristol and Portsmouth or with Admiral Harvey.
 * British Arcadia: The Arcadians continues to expand westwards 50 px from the Mander (Tennessee River) towards the Mecipici.
 * Papal States: The Pope goes onto his balcony one morning in June. "Snow!?" he exclaims, "at this time of year, in this part of the country, falling as far as the eye can see??" His personal Chaplain then ushers him off the balcony, telling His Holiness he has to eat his breakfast. The 'Memo '82' as it has come to be called, begins being implemented by the Congregation for Missions, with resources being redirected as per the memorandum of last year. Meanwhile, the Pope realises that there needs to be an Ecumenical Council in two year's time, and he creates a Standing Committee for Council Preparations (made up of himself, the Latin Patriarch, representatives of the other Patriarchs, a number of diplomats, and events planners). The Committee tentatively decides on Constantinople as the location for the next Council (having decided against 'some yurt in Mongolia' which was put forward by the representative of the Mongolian Patriarch). The Committee also composes a provisional agenda for the Council. In other news, the Papal Nuncio to Western Arcadia asks for the Holy See to join the Arcadian Congress as an observer member.
 * Empire of Japanese: We send a secret diplomat to  Anak-Anak Srivijaya, Borneo's Indpendence movement, in order to facilitate direct communication between Anak and Imperial Japan. Fierce and fiery debate enters the Flower Court, divided on whether we should primarily support Anak-Anak Srivijaya, the Nunastra movement, or no movement whatsoever. Plans for both a war with France and Burgundy are drafted in the midst of this debate and naval production is ramped up as we appear destined for war with either European power. 


 * Iberia: Iberia agrees to the Burgundian offer of assistance.
 * Borneo: The influence of anak-anak srivijaya grows and spreads among key military officials due to the rajahs policy of alienating bornean officials.
 * Russia: As the Winter is continually cold, more people move to Saint Abraham and the South region of Sasquatch Island. The Tlingit War finishes up with the subjugation and annexation of the coastal parts of Tlingit territory (basically OTL Alaska, British Columbia border.). Many native warrior prisoners are subjugated into a period of forced labor. Small amounts of arms still flow Atzlan from the Cinigrad foundry. One arms foundry is opened up in Novoarchangelsk. The crew of the frigate Tuvov land at OTL Port Angeles, Washington and form a settlement as Russian settlers continue to move south from Alyeska and Siberia to the land dubbed Saliya (OTL Washington).

French Brazil declares its independence, raising a fifty thousand army (50,000) in order to ward off any royalists in its claimed lands.

'''The British industrialization begins affecting the internal migration in the country. An increase in village-to-town/city migration is noticed this year.'''

'''Northern Japan, specifically Hokkaido, experiences a drop in temperature. The Ainu become Aicicles.'''

The Scandinavian settlements in the northern parts of the New World (also known as Ken Yada), also suffer greatly from the temperature drops, which are considered too cold even for the Norsemen.
 * Kingdom of California: Our National Congress officially recognises the independence of French Brazil but it does not declare war on France itself. The King, with congress' approval, begins to demand Aztlan giving more land to his nation to have them pay of the debt that they have towards our nation.The city of San Diego, Lucentum, Mzer and Diltwa Wituye get their own flag. The "Forças armadas nacionais" keeps preparing for more and it asks to join with the Aztlan army to do dual attack (mod response). The "Forças armadas reais" keeps enforcing laws in the liberated Iberian land.To help the "Marinheiros armados nacionais" and their aim to control more of the sea we found the "academia nacional de marinheiros" which is meant to train them better and with state paid equipment.
 * Atzlan Dip: We refuse to give up more land, you do not decide that you get to change how debt payments are made unilaterally.
 * Californian Dip: At least, we ask for military access to your lands to help you in your war.
 * Empire of Uluru: As the council of Ngarrindjeri is coming to close to closing, the Emperor considers ways of improving the external economy of the nation. Taro had been used as currency since ancient times, but after reading much more on Asia, African and European monetary systems, he decides to experiment with other materials. So he starts by exporting works of leather to various nations they trade with, including Britain, China, and Swahili. Many of these leathers include diamonds embedded in, which are just used for astetics as the anangu can fand them just about anywhere. The nation also experiments trying to mint coins, variously out of gold and iron.
 * Malaya: The spread of the Black Fever is slowed after containment methods were set in place by medical officials from Kuala Lumpur. The village of Balikpapan has been cut off from the rest of the nation, allowing none to go in and none to get out. The Nusantara Movement gains popularity, although slightly different from the Anak-Anak Srivijaya movement, which seeks to forcibly remove French influence, but rather a soft transition from protectorate to independent Kingdom. A submersible craft has been tested in the ports of Malacca, and is found to work if sealed properly. As of now it is only for recreational purposes, becoming somewhat of an attraction that allows people to see the murky depths of the Port of Malacca for 5 minutes at best.
 * Belkan Federation: Vozdh Milosevic in an attempt to strengthen the Federal state begins looking at the issue of both the Vozdh and his vice minister (the Vozdhs backup aka vice president) being killed and begins looking at a line of succession so that the country will always have a leader in the event of a disastrous attack. This is met with some trepidation as many see it as unnecessary however the Vozdh imparts an air of confidence in a victory of the legislation particularly in part of his political success in the aftermath of the settlements acts. the Act passes by a huge margin giving further political credibility to the Vozdh. Various parts of the government curious in the ongoing phenomena of the agricultural populations running to cities for work is of much surprise, however they take it in stride and begin pushing for banks to give loans to these entrepenuers in order to develop these new buisinesses which of those who have been built are coming off as extremely profitable. While Belgrad has seen much development in the last few years in regards to the new opening of factories, the Belkan cities of Zagreb and Ljubljana also see some development lieing on a profitable river route. In these two cities factories open up in moderate amounts producing textiles, iron works, steel, and in the case of Zagreb the establishment of the Zagreb arsenal, a series of factories producing arms for the Belkan military. Currently running off of the River power, the potential to ship down the Sava river becomes reality as large river boats are used to send the manufactured goods down river to Belgrad which are in turn shipped to Vidin as well. Vidin and Belgrad in particular see an upswing in the tooling of textiles into manufactured clothing and other products using textiles which begins to very obviously turn Belgrad and Vidin into two of the larger hubs of factories in the region. The Goods are then shipped towards the Danube river delta which after centuries has been more or less drained of its swampy territory and transformed into arable farming land. As a result of this a series of steel production and iron rights are constructed in the region with much of the countries direct iron slated to be produced in the highly productive danube delta region. The Population of the country specifically undersettled areas begins to bloom with the population reaches 18.8 million with a huge catalogued baby boom this year as people begin to have much more money available to them and their families. Some families are reported to be trying to have 5 or 6 children. The settlement of frontiers continues specifically with another wave of immigrants flooding into Moldavia and Transylvania specifically with the discovery of exploitable hard cole in the Jiu valley. The City of Trieste begins to grow once again as settlement into the nearby regions brings the Slovenian province headlong into the modern era with Trieste and Ljubljana expanding their populations and worth significantly. Trieste in particular becomes the second most profitable Port after Vasiligrad in the country.
 * Czech Federation: The Czech Federation continues previously pro-Russia and pro-Belka policies and also begins entering into a close economic alliance between the Russians and Belkans specifically to recover a lot of the lost wealth that was taken or destroyed during the war which ended the HRE. The Czech Vozdh being somewhat disconnected from his allies besides through a small strip of Hungary adopts a heavily defensive strategy and begins heavily fortifying the mountains around Czechia specifically mountain passes and the short low land that allows access into Bohemia.
 * Greek Confederation: With the Greeks finally imposing their full rule on the former lands of Rum it has become apparent that the Turks are to be treated as second class citizens. Many villages are depopulated by Greek soldiers who instead fence these men to Belkan Tobacco plantations as slaves specifically to increase Belkas share in the cash crop of tobacco. Outside of this some of the higher level turks are used to collude and keep the Turks from revolting and after a request from Vozdh Milsevic some are sent to Tunis as a potential chance at pacifying the muslims in the North African territories. While this is occuring there is much settlement into the depopulated countrysides and generally many turks have lands confiscated in favor of Greeks. the Greek leader specifically however seperates Turkish classes incorporating the higher levels and allowing the middle class to operate unmolested as long as they also learn greek. The lower classes however are the one displaced, killed, or sold in favor of greek settlers who begin taking up residence around Ancyra (once more Greek Ankara)
 * Tunisian Governate: Tunis continues to see growth as a solid ethnic belkan merchant and middle class take up residence in the city. The city is also fortified and ringed with forts so as to not disrupt the cities goings on with mass fortification. On top of this the City walls begin to be slowly taken down in favor of turning the city into a more proper Belkan city, planning, Sewage, an expanded port, and significant urbanization. The City garrison is kept extremely large and a supply depot and arsenal are kept fully up to date in order to keep the 30,000 strong Garrison (which isnt counted in city population) from being undersupplied and overwhelmed in case of attack. The 1st and 2nd Tunisia Squadrons specifically begin patrolling nearby waters and connect the patrol routes specifically to the rest of the navy which now operates forward out of Heraklion the most recently expanded and settled city on Krete with Belkan settlers.

Empire of Japan: Hokkaido freezes over and enters a severe blizzard and a team of natural scientists are sent to the study what caused this brutal winter and they are accompanied by a small contingent of samurai in order to help assist the team if they ever freeze and to help any entrapped citizens in the blizzard. Of course the team is not able to save everyone as Hokkaido is massive, thus the communities help their own members, which brings the Hokkaido communities closer together. Unfortunately, the inevitable happens and many Japanese perish in the blizzard, many of which are unaccounted for. Across the nation, people go to Shinto shrines or pray at home for the safety and well being of Hokkaido, and many wonder if this is punishment for our sins. The religious discontent only further spurs the government further to find a natural cause for the Hokkaido blizzard. Internationally, news of the Malayan desire for gradual and peaceful independence from Burgundy and of the Brazilian Revolution against France, it is finally decided that we will remain firm with the plan to support Anak- Anak Srivijaya in the event they violently declare independence from France and when this happens we shall enter in a state of war with France, highly anticipated for next year. In light of this decision, naval production and training explodes as well as exercises for amphibious invasions, which happen on Taiwan and Ququququ.. The government also grows increasingly infuriated with Uluru, not because we are being outright denied access to the Council of Ngarrindjeri, but that we are completely ignored despite having a colony in Shengdi.
 * Swahili: We continue our agriculture policies and adapt more plants to the Swahili climate. The army continues convincing contracted servants. We continue colonial expansion in Northern Somalia, in the South and in the Malindi and Mombassa area. Colonisation steadily increase as medicine and weaponry becomes more widespread. A scholar-farmer in Malindi continues testing selective breeding, producing a few giant cows. The colder climate lengthens the growing seasons and crops, which previously died from the heat. The increase in food production means that both sides of the civil war is capable of sending more soldiers. The Loyalists Navy blockades Qamar while the Reactionary Navy, made mainly of fishing ships and a few trade boats, seek to privateer the trade routes of Loyalist merchants. Reactionary forces advance to the river of Tana, but is repulsed by 20,000 Loyalist soldiers. A 10,000 men contingent of Oromo cavalry is formed and instructed to begin strategic raids on the Loyalists. Currently, the population of Somalia is 6 million, the population of Qamar is 6 million and the population of the Loyalist Swahili is 8 million.
 * Lakshadweep: The island of Lakshadweep continues development.
 * Sefuwa: The colony of Sefuwa continues development.
 * Huriya: Swahili culture is brought by merchants and diplomats. Ships are sent to help blockade Qamar.
 * Rowzi: Swahili culture is brought by merchants and diplomats. Around 5,000 soldiers depart to assistthe Loyalists.
 * United Kingdom of Great Britain:Harvey continues to hold his position while Washington blocks traffic along the river. Other than this little offensive efforts made. There is a continued growth in industry of textiles, iron manufacture and further construction of canals to allow the movement of raw materials such as coal and food. More coal mines open up to fuel the growing production of steelworks. James Watt's steam engine now powers an increasingly large number of coal mines pumping.  James Watt receives a British patent for his parallel motion and other improvements to the steam engine. Joseph Bramah receives his first lock patent in London. Rev. Dr. Edmund Cartwright designs his first power loom in England. Henry Cort of Funtley, England, applies the coal-fired reverbatory furnace to the puddling process for conversion of cast to wrought iron. The canal system is expanded as new cities develop to move coal from the mines and goods from the ships. England has 7.4 million people and inside of that London has a population of 0.8 million, Wales has 0.6 million, Ireland has 3.7 million people and Scotland 1.1 million. The British army has 3000 in Portsmouth, 3000 in Aldershot, 2000 in Scotland, 3000 in Ireland while 2000 in Arcadia, 2000 in Casablanca, 1000 in English Maiam, 3000 in Haiti as well as 500 in St George, St Helena, New Canterbury and Bay of Kost. Criminals are deported to Arcadia. The navy has 50 ships in New London, Port au Prince and the remaining divided between Bristol and Portsmouth or with Admiral Harvey. As the proportion of urban to rural increases cities expand as more factories grow.
 * British Arcadia: The Arcadians continues to expand westwards 50 px from the Mander (Tennessee River) towards the Mecipici. The winter is an issue as some crops produce less yields but with the market for cotton rapidly expanding this does not deter farmers from trying to get more farms and pushing westwards in the search for water.
 * Ququququ:The Koito reform continues and as the Ququququ nation is finally stable enough, the outlying tribes are contacted in order to induce them into the Union. (basically, slow map expansion, approved by Feud). The Japanese contact continues, and Ququququ continue adopting children born of interracial relations in the Jin port, in order to avoid the infanticide. With a solidified rule the Ququququ are now a most formidable force in the region, with infrastructural advancement putting them on a higher level than any other tribes, as well as their linguistic unity. Moreover, the Ququququ slowly organize their military and begin creating better weapons compared to their non-organized neighbours, using metals such as iron, with guidance of the Nangang emissaries. As the nation is much more stable right now, the Ququququ begin outreaching to more tribes, preparing their next step of expansion as the Council notices the Japanese and Jin superiority compared to Ququququ, so they understand that they too must expand in order to develop. The Ququququ council, following the Treaty of Bosavi decides it is high time to expand and solidify its status as the primary ruler of the Papuan island.
 * Papal States: Preparations for next year's Ecumenical Council continue. With the Belkan government accepting the offer condintionally on the council being named the First Council of Vasiligrad -rather than the Fifth Council of Constantinople- most of the important preparations are complete (although abandoning the name 'Constantinople' is met with consternation from the historians guild). The Standing Committee for Council Preparations (SCCP) has drawn up a draft agenda, with the main issues being the status of the Chinese Church, bringing the Copts (finally) into full communion, and lenghtening the period between councils to fifty years. Further intergration of the newly-annexed Italian states continues. Missions continue, especially in Uluru, Zulu, and Western Arcadia.
 * Bishopric of St Peter-in-Brazil: The Bishop, ever a pragmatist, announces his loyalty to the new republican regime, and raises his own troops to assist the central government. Pituba University has become a fairly important centre of learning, and the Prayerful Congregation of Our Lady of Pituba has grown to become a substantial order. The university's observatory uses its southerly position to help its correspondents in Rome, and to publish its own academic work.
 * Kingdom of Burgundy: Guyana and New Germany continue settling their claimed lands. Patagonië expands 50 px. Support continues to be given to the Iberian in fighting the Atzalan, and the Burgundian navy seizes or sinks Atzalan shipping at sea. Coal mining, especially in Comital Burgundy and Boulogne increases as the steel industry in Burgundy expands.
 * Russia: Tuvov is expanded inland. Settlers continue to arrive in the Pyotr Archipelago and Saliya. The Archipelago is deemed the colony of Pytrlind. A musician named Rostislav Vetrov enters the army. The Forts at Port Alexander and Mersin are upgraded with new artillery. The population of Novorossiya in its whole is about 30,000. Almost half of the population is native. The current colonies of Novorossiya are currently Novoruthenia, Aleutia, Tuvov, Pytrlind, and Saliya.
 * Uluru Exiles: Bakan and his people, after floating for several months, land on a strange island. They believe it to be south of Uluru, but they are not sure. Bakan takes some cloth from the barge and ties it around a stick, placing it firmly on the beach. He declares "This Will Be Our Land! Land of the Free!". This is met by cheers by his people. Another Feudal Lord, Natan of Zaza, was carrying several western books with him on the barge and persuades Bakan into making a Great Western Empire on the island. Soon, all the commotion is heard by the native people of the island. Bakan meets chief Tikalt'k of Dorne, who thinks the party are gods as they arrived from the sea. Bakan gives the Chief and his tribe blankets in exchange for learning how to survive on the island, which Bakan soon learns is called Trounna. He also learns that Chief Tikalt'k is the chief of one of nine nations on the island. Bakan ridicules the way Tikalt'k's tribe lives and orders them to construct houses like those on Uluru. He says that "Men of the Sea live in stone dwellings, grow food from the ground, and use iron swords and armor". He orders the construction of an Ochre farm and clears the area where they landed of vegetation, using the wood to build houses. His treatment of the native Tasmanians is brutal, but they obey because they think he is a god that came from the sea. He finds that there is a layer of soil beneath the topsoil on the island that is extremely fertile (similar to Russian Chernozem).
 * Empire of India: Following countless decades of gross mismanagement, corruption and a general decay in the authority of Deccan Maharajas; the regime finally began to crumble as the Rais of Dravidia launched an assault upon the capital city of Hyderabad. Having never expected such level of treachery, the Maharaja and the Imperial auxillary forces were completely taken by surprise and were thus forced into a retreat as the rebels flooded into the city. Eventually even the Falaknuma Palace was surrounded, a castle of sort that had always been the symbol of the Maharaja's wealth and power. Ironic as it was now his fina stronghold and unfortunately, it was also to be his resting place. As it seemed, the Rais of Dravidia was neither lenient nor merciful and had every member of the royal household executed once the Palace was taken. He didn't even spare the nobles, with the ruling dynasty of the Deccan Maharajya completely annihilated. The Maharaja reportedly begged for mercy, offering the Rais enough wealth that would last him a hundred life times but regrettably for him, all the King received was the sword. It was a cruel but decisive act, one that certainly ensured no one would ever have to witness the Dravidian nonsense the past Kings had been blabbering. Ofcourse at the same time, it tarnished the Rais's image forever as he was soon named the Butcher of Hyderabad, not that it mattered to him as he felt his actions were justified. In any case, the only question that mattered now was who would rule Dravidia and this was soon answered when wthin a fortnight of the incident, the Rais of Dravidia, Zulfiqar Ashrah Shah was proclaimed the Emperor of India in the presence of regional emisarries and before a sizeable crowd in Hyderabad. For Zulfiqar, Dravidia was simply not enough. For Zulfiqar, the Deccan was simply not enough. No, he would rule over all of India and relish all its riches. That was to be his destiny and he sure was adamant on seeing it through ... in this life or the next.
 * I am sorry, if you do not know, Dravidia has a player and it is still being controlled by me. My name is still there on the nations page. I was inactive for the time due to a major problem in my family. -Drake346
 * Oh, I am well aware that there was an existing player for Dravidia. It's just that since you barely ever posted, I asked the Moderators for permission to replace you which I was given. In any case, now that you are back.. welcome back Drake. -Rimp

Another day another early turn because I need to wake up in like 5.5 hours SupremeSensualSamrāṭSky 21:57, September 6, 2017 (UTC)

Events to be added.
 * The Kingdom of Trowunna: Bakan names his land the Kingdom of Trowunna after the island and becomes intent on Conquering the nine nations. Using their excess ochre, superior technology, and superior strategy, King Bakan launches an invasion of the the nations of the west and east (both coastal), which have no army and are instantly defeated. Bakan also encourages several of his fellow exiles to take wives among the natives as they have children with them to populate the island with Anengaians. King Bakan of Trowunna also sets to build the city on the beach where he arrived (Devonport, Tasmania). He orders the construction of the city using stone and wood by the slave labor of the Palawa. When Bakan and his army were about to kill the chief of the west, the chief begged for his life saying he had a very special piece of information (Uluran and Palawan are mutually intelligible). This information was passed down to him from generation to generation when people first came to Trowunna from a greater land and came to that land using vessels which could travel across the water like one could on land. Bakan knows these, they are the boats of the west. He learns that the people of Anengaia, Trowunna, and Angu were once great conquerors like the Europeans. "The land softened us" he said. From that point on he swore to the heavens "that [we] will make boats and [the boats] will travel the world and discover lands that thought they were alone! And we will conquer [them]!" He orders the Chief of the West to be put in a prison in the capital where his fellow exiles will grill him every day and attempt to use the western books to figure out how to make these boats that once made his people so mighty. He names the city Tainui, after the mythical boats that the chieftain described. King Bakan appoints fellow exiles Zras and Tarkas as lords of the West and East. They marry the former wives of the chieftains and begin setting about Uluruan law and western law learned from the western books they brought with them. King Bakan also orders the teaching of Yura as a language and that the children of the tribes of North, East, and West, must go to schools in their tribal area. These schools are built as a means of teaching the natives of how to become "Men of the Sea" that will conquer the Universe. Bakan also orders that in his city of Tainui, the school must teach of Uluruan History and the western books brought with them.
 * Empire of India: The Emperor of India, Zulfiqar Ashraf Shah continued his rule over his domain, with the Emperor selecting shrewd steward of Hyderabad, Sadullah Khan to serve as the Grand Vizier. The government itself was carefully modelled upon the one utilized by the Gurkani Sultans of Persia and the Bahmani Sultans of the Deccan centuries ago. Indeed, it was an ancient form of government but one that had worked effectively then and would surely suffice now too. The Indian population rose to about 53.4 million with the people flocking to cities like Mysore, Hyderabad, Tanjore, Madurai, Coimbatore, Kollam and Mangalore as well as various other minor cities and townships throughout the south; primarily due to the rapid urbanization and industrialization that these cities faced. This inflow of manpower allowed the Empire to rapidly expand upon it's fishery, shipbuilding and tea industries, key businesses for those residing in coastal towns and port cities. Meanwhile, the Indian navy began further development of its new larger classes of steam engine ships, churning out first rate flagships for various fleets, and more third rates, and fourth rates with the occasional second rate to augment the smaller patrol fleets the fifth and sixth rates begin to become more standard as light and medium frigates for singular voyages and patrols among other things. Along the same time, a standardized army of roughly 80,000 men was raised to defend the state from any foreign invasion with the soldiers armed with flintlock rifles, and supported by iron-cased rocket artillery, designed indigenously in the city of Mysore. Apart from the national army, an Imperial Guard was also propped up. mainly to protect the Monarch and his household from any threat. As such, quite a bit of importance was given to the production of firearms and gunpowder, with Mysore soon becoming the epicentre of the Indian rocket industry. Besides the firearms, the infantry was also equipped with daggers and swords to be utilised in close combat against the enemy. Meanwhile, in agriculture was the largest economic focus of India, selling such goods as rice, wheat, maize, potatoes, indigo, opium, wheat, cannabis and other crops to European merchants as well as those from other states. It was jute and muslin in particular that served as the most important exports of the Empure given the general need for them in Europe. The Emperor, Zulfiqar Ashraf Shah soon implemented a new currency system which was to be the well-regulated Indian Rupee. Along the same time, the Indian Renaissance was in full swing with movements such as the India Bengal movement established that espoused rationalism and atheism as the common denominators of civil conduct amongst the educated masses. The monarchy generally co-operated with the upholders of the renaissance, and brought forth social reforms in order to disband various backward practices such as belief in Priests possessing divine powers which was termed shirk. These movements were ofcourse largely restricted to the urbanized sectors of the cities with most of the Empire's inhabitants holding true to their traditional conservative values. Along the same time, education and scientific research was promoted amongst the masses, with schools and colleges constructed throughout the Sultanate. International-standard universities were also constructed at Hyderabad, Mysore, Kollam and Tanjore in order for India to advance ahead of other regional states and maintain a particular pace as the world entered into the stage of industrialization. Interestingly, it was the Indian literature that reached it's Golden Age with hundreds of poets and scholars sprouting throughout the Empire. The Empire itself promoted Dakhini nationionally, a language that was almost synonymous with Urdu and bore little to no difference from Hindi. It was a language that had historicaly been native to the Deccan but now had speakers in all corners of the Empire, with the elites and the educated opting it over their native languages. That was expected, after all, Dakhini had been the administrative language for over two centuries now.


 * Dravidia: The army and navy have begun slowly mobilizing for a war against an unknown foreign entity. The Agamic philosophy has spread to the entirety of Dravidia and has become an integral part of the education system. Gurukulas continue to be established. The state focuses on improving irrigation and transportation facilities. New roads are constructed to link the major towns and older roads are paved. The government designates the status of 'major regional port' to Masulipatnam and will work for its development to a level same as that of Kollam. The government nationalizes major mining operations. The first bank is opened in Kollam. A University is established in Tirupati, the small capital to study about the Agamas and Dravidian history. A review of the army is ordered by the council of nobles.
 * Empire of Uluru: Christianity and Islam both spread rapidly in the nation from contact with Europe and Africa. Generally the countryside adopts more Islam while the cities become more Christian. Emperor Dadu remains neuteral on religion for the time being, working to maintain control of the nation by the syncretic Confucian philosophy of China. More intellectuals are trained utilizing the printing press. Experimenting with more monetary systems, Uluru begins exporting gold and iron coins in exchange for their imports from Swahili, Britain and China. Assorted jewels and diamonds are also offered. The history of Uluru continues to be compiled and written in hangul. No attempt is made to contact the exiled rebels.
