Principia Moderni (Map Game)

Principia Moderni, or "The Beginning of the Modern" in Late Latin, is a map game beginning in the final days of the Middle Ages in Europe, and the early days of the Ming dynasty in China--1420 C. E...The House of Hohenzollern have become the Electorates of Brandenburg--though most of the power in the Holy Roman Empire still lies with the Habsburgs, Joan of Arc has defeated the English at Orleans, the city of Tenochtitlan is founded by the Aztecs, the Timurid Empire has united Central and West Asia, and the Yongle Emperor sends out Zheng He to voyage westwards. It is a turbulent era; in other words, an era of change; an era in which power is cemented.

They condemns the Onguayal for being a religiously oppressive, warmongering nation with no care for how any non-Onguayali people wish to govern their lives. All members of the Sovereignty Defense League are required to send military aid to help Fjordlaand against Bharat or they will be in violation of the treaty and ejected from the organization. Currently, Denmark, Wales, and Hungary are other player nations in this organization (unless I missed someone else joining)

 * Brythonic Commonwealth also releases to RUSSIA and DENMARK ONLY plans for a weaponization platform in space scheduled to begin research in 1964.
 * In the post of China he already stated that the Chinese man was the first man in space. You can't contradict what people have already posted. 
 * 'Yes we can. We'll simply state that they were mistaken.'
 * Hey my original post had the parliament be angry and move Vostok one forward to march 12th instead of April 12th. I just thought that we had reached an agreement before that a Dane would be the first in space.
 * China still beats us if we put it in March, Lx.
 * The Brythonic Commonwealth makes plans to send the astronaut Leon Willis into space where he will remain for two weeks before returning to Earth. Orange computers releases a new Operating System called Orange I that is commandline based, but is faster than previous versions. The government adopts this operating system as well as the whole of the European Space Cooperative. more nuke subs are planned. Wales declares that its alliance with Finland remains, but on probationary status until Finland withdraws from the war. The Commonwealth likes Finland and wishes her to remain an ally. Wales orders 200 new Sikorsky helicopters. The military also updates it fighters, releasing the R-2 fighter(OTL MiG like) The navy is upgraded to nuclear reactors.

An envoy is sent to Flanders, and Alsatia to establish diplomatic ties and an offer of alliance(somebody do a random.org please)
 * I do not understand the current situation. I explicitly called the first man in space and Crim agreed to let me have it. Like Russia with the nuke I was going to launch a man for Russia Wales and Denmark. Gone back on his word Crim has. Like this Yoda does not.
 * China got their man in space...I panicked and added the space part after my edit conflict... I didn't want others superseding the Danish-Russian-Welsh space program,..names can be changed...quite easily...just name the first cosmonaut/astronaut and it shall be done
 * No word was given and the agreement was conditional. You made it clear that my side of the deal wasn't happening.
 * OK then. Giving the date of your launch proved fatal for your launched as we beat you.
 * Did you just edit Lx's turn?
 * Actually, since he gave that his guy was the first in space, you can't say you beat China. He posted first and explicitly said his man was first. Furthermore, you can't "hear about the Chinese Space program and move your program back to January 1" all on January 1, as you would only control this year, not last year. China won, stop whining about it.
 * It was on the 13th. Not the first.
 * Hey my original post had the parliament be angry and move Vostok one forward to march 12th instead of April 12th. I just thought that we had reached an agreement before that a Dane would be the first in space.
 * I called dibs on it, so I don't see why we're having this argument in the first place.
 * Australia signs a military alliance agreement with Denmark. Meanwhile, Australia continues to industrialize. It also founds the Australian Defence Force . Michael Salzman(german-british) is assigned to be the Chief of Army, and is waiting for the Australian forces to come back from fighting with Bharat, which is, as they hope, being the last time they fight for a country which was ruling their motherland for more than half century.


 * Finland continues to build up its military, build and improve some infrastructure and continues industrialisation. Empress Orvokki Komeiji continues to, proudly, sends more supplies to help Onguayal. Sonja Komeiji retires from singing, and gets very angered by her sisters actions, so, she decides to do something about it.

Knowing it's a trap, Sonja runs the other way and begins taking the central stairs down. Soon she reaches the first floor, and makes it to the door and runs out of the palace in tears and fear. Eventually, Sonja Komeiji manages to run into her other sister, Kyllikki Komeiji and she begins to tell her what happened and what she wanted to do. Kyllikki Komeiji then hugs Sonja and soon she decides to go to the Palace herself. Three nights later, Kyllikki Komeiji goes to the Tsuyukusa Eastern Palace and Sonja Komeiji waits outside this time. As Kyllikki Komeiji enters the palace, she sees the same kitten that Sonja saw. Though she ignores it and goes and takes the central stairs. She reaches the third floor, walks down the hallway, and also sees the same painting that Sonja saw. After that, Kyllikki Komeiji begins to open the door on the left, and enters the room. However, she sees that the room is filled with a few drawings of butterflies, and a few paintings of Yuyuko Saigyouji and Youmu Konpaku can be seen. Though she doesn't find Orvokki anywhere, and so she leaves and closes the door behind her. Then proceeds to look at some of the other doors until a bit down past mid-way, she opens that door and sees Empress Orvokki Komeiji watching some television. Empress Orvokki Komeiji then turns and becomes curious of what her sister is up to, and so asks. Soon Kyllikki Komeiji then discusses about all that happened with Sonja, and after that, requests that supplies stop being sent to Onguayal. Empress Orvokki Komeiji looks at her with disappointment, and disagrees. Later, the phone rings and Empress picks it up. It is Shogun Yuyuko Kekkonen on the phone, and requests to stop sending supplies. However, the Empress refuses, and soon hangs up and runs out. Kyllikki Komeiji tries to chase her, but can't find her anywhere else in the palace. Later, she leaves the palace, and walks back home with Sonja, in disappointment, while Sonja is still angered.

The Yakuzas become more active in the Region of Kōshi again.

 * Wales offers 57 million with trade options, and military bases
 * The Commonwealth of Eetoria and Ngainkeha offer Austria 30 million to gain control which the commonwealth claim is there's rightfully anyway. The nation is greatly annoyed that they have to pay to take control of the land which was claimed by the Commonwealth years before Austria set up a colony there. But they recognise that some compensation should be paid so 30 million is put on the table. The Commonwealth would also be quite hostile to any other nation taking control of this colony as the Commonwealth laid claim to the land many years before the Austrian colony was founded and the land is rightfully part of Ngainkeha.
 * The Russian Luna-3 probe is very succesful in bringing back what it was meant to do: intact photographs of the Lunar Far side, the fist ever taken in existance.

The 58 year old Emperor proclaims that he will strive to live untill the Russian Commonwealth and Evrokosmos have succesfuly landed on the moon, and he gives the equiveland of JFK's "We Chose to go to the Moon" speech in front of the Duma after the photographs from Luna-3 have been recovered and reavealed them to the public at the same time. Meanwhile, Evrokosmos works on Bettering the photographic capabilities of satelites for meteorologica[but realy reconesence and expionage...shhhhh! thats a Secret only Wales and Denmark should know!!!] purposes.

The Winter is harsh, but the Russian people, more used to it than most of Europe, survive, this cold not being worse that that of 1812, and they didnt have electric heaters back then! The Russians slowly recover form teh winter, and the roads break more than expected, aswell as some small villages and towns loosing power, causing 16-20 deaths due to freezing across russia...msotly seniors. The senate sends its condolances. A New model of Luna Probe is worked on for Luna-4, the "second Genereation" probe. Russia suggests the policy of advancing robotics and systems so that there can be Automated test flights of all technology without people, and have various pieces of tech without men return to caplsules and such to ensure no death occur...the "Probe before man" approach. MEanwhiel, the female candidate for The Vostok-7 mission is chosen to be Valentina Tereshkova, The honor to pilot Vostok 6 is given to a Welshman.

 * Pahang builds up its military along the border with Mystiää. They again try to make propaganda claiming that Mystiää is an imperialist set-up made by the Koreans, Swedish, and Finns, and they claim that anti-imperialism in Juche is hypocritical, as without invasion they would be part of Pahang.
 * President Ano Aaltonen manages to block out and censor the Pahang propaganda to prevent it from leaked into the nation, and also releases counter-progerganda to his citizens of Mystiää. He also orders for anyone trying to find out the truth be secretly being taken away by the 'police'.

 * Calora expands 4000 square kilometers further into South America.
 * Nippon amps up its military and produces more Ennetsu grade nuclear bombs including the new Ennetsu V2 class h-bomb (OTL Tsar Bomba). The first bomb of this new class was originally designed to have a yield of about 100 megatons of TNT (420 PJ), but the yield was reduced by Nipponese engineers to 50 megatons in order to reduce nuclear fallout (and also to prevent the blast from destroying the drop aircraft). The test took place on Karaginsky Island and the attempt was successful, as it was one of the cleanest (relative to its yield) nuclear bombs ever detonated as well as being the most powerful nuclear weapon ever detonated. Nippon produces more nuclear submarines and more aircraft carriers including the new Kyodai kigyō class aircraft carrier with the aircraft carrier the Doru dora being commissioned (equivalent of OTL basically) being the world's first nuclear-powered aircraft carrier and the world's largest aircraft carrier too, thus cementing Nippon's position as the world's strongest navy not Russia. Nippon's space programme continues as the programme team up with the Sumitomo group to send into space the world's first active communications satellite. Another 2 reconnaissance satellite is sent into space along with another weather satellite too. The Furukawa zaibatsu invent the audio cassette and the Mitsubishi group invents silicone breast implants. Toshiba invent the world's first video game Uchū sensō (Space War, yes this is based on OTL Spacewar), they then go on to release a computer game version of noughts & crosses (tic, tac, toe to you Americans) and tennis game (OTL  basically). Also Nipponese stationary company, achieves great fame after the felt/fiber-tip pen is invented by Yukio Horie, the owner of Pentel.
 * Didnt we say no Technology before its time? the thing with the Tsar bomb...nice meta gaming there...did you not notice "Project Big Ivan/Ivan the Terrible". And also, Fallout would reach russian populated area...Aka it would be a deleration of Nuclear war...first you steal Sputnik by having the same design, and now you Stole the Tsar Bomb! Wait 2 more years untill 1963 like it was actualy done as was done with Sputnik. Unlike Russia, nippon has no project to create the Tsar bomb...just saying.
 * The Tsar bomba was invented in 1961, so it is not "technology ahead of its time". If they are contaminating Russia with nuclear fallout, then it could lead to nuclear war...
 * I have h-bombs, they are being improved upon to make a new class of h-bomb equivalent to which was done in 1962, a year after it was done in OTL which was 1961. Blowing up the bomb there is the safest place in the Nipponese empire. Nippon are planning on giving up their nuclear base in the Commonwealth of Eetoria & Nganinkeha to have a nuclear testing site in their own nation. Anyway before you start on Nippon for contaminating Russia, you might want to do something about the contaminating of Russia by your own bombs. No one has said a thing about nuclear fallout in this game so far, so to start a war over something which hasn't even been properly looked into and researched seems fairly implausible. And populated Russian areas? Its Siberia, its hardly Moscow levels of population. the effects won't be noticed for decades. Its gonna hit Nipponese territory too, but you want to start a war over something which is virtually unknown in the game world and takes years for effects to appear anyway? Do something about all the irradiated Russians caused by your own efforts before starting a war you won't win. Also meta-gaming? I'm inventing things as they're invented in OTL, when else am I meant to invent them?
 * Sorry...I got the bomb mixed up with something else...and oh wait...things are comming and Russia will supercede you one way or another....lets hope we dont start nuclear winter by detonating 100 MT! Also, Russia blew up their bombs in the near-unpopulated noth, mostly in the Northern Novaya Zemlya archipelago and a phew in Kazakhstan in the verry begining...dicovering Nuclear Glass! The bomb site is so dangerously close to Russian Territory. 
 * Chamoru amp up the military and the Chamorro pharmaceutical company Norratsu develop Ketamine as a derivative of phencyclidine. Ketamine testing and investigations demonstrate that ketamine's shorter duration of action and lesser psychomimetic profile make it favourable over PCP as a "dissociative" anesthetic.
 * The Nipponese Dominion of Shuubudan amp up their military and the nation bans most drugs used for non-medical purposes (i.e. getting high). The Hippuzu movement people begin to leave Shuubudan to live in more drug tollerant nations, a lot of them move to Chamoru, the commonwealth of Eetoria & Ngainkeha, Nippon and Wonderlaand as their drug policies are a lot more lenient than Shuubudan's.
 * Calls for Sunda to join the Imperial Confederation of Saigyō grow as the economy severely contracts and the country desperately needs bailout loans after years of over-spending.
 * The Saigyō ambassador to Sunda Mr Abdul Muntaqim offers Sunda the chance to join the Imperial Confederation of Saigyō. The confederacy will bail out Sunda, and the two nation's shall join together with Sunda a nation of the confederacy.

The federation parliament ask the other American nations when they will be ready to join the new superstate.
 * The Commonwealth of Eetoria and Ngainkeha amp up their military and the Commonwealth continue to negotiate with Austria to try and solve the problem of Austria infringing on the territorial claims of the Commonwealth. This seems to be taking the form of the Commonwealth buying the Austrian colony.
 * Wonderlaand finishes rebuilding itself following the war, and president Einar Hulda organises a referendum to join Scandanavia next year. He does this to bring all of Wonderlaand round to the idea as he battles against the anti-unionists, anti-Denmark Swedish nationalists and those who think this will damage Wonderlaand's close relations with its Asian allies like Nippon and the Commonwealth of Eetoria and Ngainkeha.
 * You can't join Scandanavia. You are too far away. 
 * Mauritius amps up their military and continues breeding Dodos on a large scale, as the gloal Dodo trade spreads world wide as Dodos are now farmed in almost every developed nation, albeit not on the same large scale of chickens and other more popular poultry birds.
 * Kongo expands by 50,000 square kilometers to the south.

1963

 * Finland continues to build up its military, build and improve some infrastructure and continues industrialisation. Shogun Yuyuko Kekkonen makes more neutral policies, and soon releases a new law that officially turns the Finnish Imperial Military, and reorganises and turns it into the Finland Self-Defence Forces (so now basically the Finnish military will be like otl ). Kyllikki Komeiji and Sonja Komeiji welcome the new law, and hope that Finland can be in peace for many years to come. Empress Orvokki Komeiji however is a bit worried about the idea, but is soon heavily convinced by Sonja Komeiji so she then agrees to it, which Empress does, and so she then gladly accepts this new change. The huge motorway system continues being built in Finland, along with liikennevalot. Animation films and Anime and Manga are continued to be made too. Satomi Karjalainen's Satoyori (さとより) Company continues to making/building cars and military equipment (tanks, weapons, etc.) while Ayumi Rahikkala's Tōhōnokia continues to making phones.

Meanwhile in Eesti Vabariik more roads and motorway are built and infrastructure is improved. Prime Minister Lüüdia Kask improves the economy bit more.


 * Democratic People's Republic of Mystiää continues to build up military and improve infrastructure, and continues industrialisation. President Ano Aaltonen continues to spread heavy pro-government propaganda in Mystiää, continues to interpret the Juche idea, into account. President Ano Aaltonen sends a copy of his blueprint of the Juche Tower to Käwäshiro. By the 4th month, President Ano Aaltonen releases his Juche ideology book, containing all the stuff about Juche, and it is soon released in both Mystiää and Käwäshiro. By the 9th month, he decides he had enough of these little Pahangers and declares war on them; he states that they are a bunch of capitalist pigs, and filled with snobbish rich people who steal from the poor, and are filled with corporate greed. He hopes to try to get them to stop what their doing and make them leave his nation alone. Soon tanks come smashing into Pahang... (okay, now somewhat of a Korean War parallel, only this one is to ¿survive or fall? [as in if Mystiää will stay or be gone themselves])
 * Pahang declares that they will defend themselves from the collectivist creation of the imperialists.  The Pahangese call for New Maya, Sunda, Saigyō, Ternate, and all other Southeast Asian nations to aid them, as a victory for Mystiää could lead to Juche dominating the entire region.
