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.



1810
''' War between Napoleonic allies and Coalition forces continues. Napoleon's brothers and marshals continue to fight the British in Germany. The expedition into Denmark is initially successful but a lack of supplies and support being diverted to the main fight puts an end to it. Marshal Wolfgang Kohl returns home to join the main force. Meanwhile, Napoleon himself cross through Switzerland and the Swiss Alps, making a defensive alliance with the Swiss, and emerges in Savoy. After Savoy refuses to join his alliance, Napoleon overthrows the government and declares the Revolutionary Principality of Savoy, installing one of his brothers and placing revolutionary constitution on Savoy. The Savoyard royals flee to Corsica. '''

''' Russia conquers Finland from Scandinavia. '''
 * Free Hungary: Bathory orders military-funded mountain expeditions to take place in the Bakony Mountains, as he wants to map out the location (yes, I know they won't explore the entire mountains, as it's 1810, but I'm getting basic knowledge of points in the mountain range that a normal military force (if well equipped) can pass without to much Trouble). He gains a general Map of the outskirts of the mountains and Points where a well equipped military force could pass through, he orders for some sort of booby traps to be set along the passable points of the mountain, so he can secure Hungarian Independence, he shall call up a group of inventors next year to discuss possible traps to set along the mountain range. Bathory orders for some type of "Policing Boat unit" to be Organized And deployed in The Hungarian Side of the Danube, for a better Defense and some military resistance to fight off any foreign army, even if the Policing Unit themselves are badly equipped. Meanwhile forts and Disguised Cannons that are hidden in Bushes are set all around the northern Border. Bathory consolidates with his Advisors on where he should go and what he should do if a foreign army were to invade from the north (or even the south). He says that it's more likely for Germania, and Poland to invade then Russia or Belka, even if Russia is allied with the Germany and Poland, and says that he shall fight on the front lines in battle and lead his own Men into battle, and if Hungary capitulates, he shall retreat to Belka, set up a Militia force of my remaining Soldiers and possibly veterans, make a government in exile, and Dndak back into occupied Hungary and continue to wage War on the Occupiers via guerrilla warfare, which he has been studying thoroughly through the last few years and months. Bathory sends a diplomat to Russia, hoping to make some sort of Economical Agreement between the two nations (MOD RESPONSE ABSOLUTELY NEEDED!!!!!). Bathory orders three factories to be built in Hungary, one of each in Hungary's most populace and prosperous cities. One in Budapest, One in Debrecen, and one Misklolc, and are to be fueled with a decent amount of coal each year.
 * Russia says nah. -s
 * We send an envoy to the coalition against Napoleon requesting that they strike a Trading deal with us, in return we could give them weapon but we would stay neutral.
 * British Dip: We don't need your weapons.
 * Illinois Confederation: A radical Peoria named Thunder Snake hates the Mehicans. He starts an armed uprising in our land, first he sacks places of wealth then does border raids on the Mehicans, he uses guerrilla warfare against us, in the Battle of Lone Pine he wipe out 800 of our men, for safety, we called every woman and child to hide in the forts or cities. Meanwhile, our men wont leave the forts or cities, we call a state of crisis, Thunder Snake starts to kill Loyal Illinois, Mehicans and family of British traders alike be beheading. Three Crows flees into the State of Tejas.
 * Mehican Empire: Our army keeps training heavily using news local produced guns. Our army is being personally led by our Emperor but he does give some of his tasks to his young son. He does this to give him experience. His son is named "Augustinianus de Mérida e Augusthino Diltwa I" or simply known as "Augustinianus Augusthino Diltwa I". He is the official heir to the crown as being already around 20-30 years old but it wasn't told about him to keep him safe. Our Heir is fluent in Nahuatl, Portuguese and Latin and is quite good in English but he does often prefer horse riding and playing European sports and games. He also enjoys diplomacy and geography. The economy also begins to produce more alcohol and drinks for the masses. Pino also keeps writing his books but he finds that he shall not stop writing about the British Arcadia's "Liberty Bell Papers" keep being published but he also begins to publish with his group for The Dominion of Peru over how they should break their chains of oppression and reinstall the empire of Runorqo.They spread the message about how Chains will be broken and the truth of God will rise again. Pino becomes a celebrity in his own region and he even gains Governorship over Baricano. Our Emperor personally offers the Russian empire to buy Russian Arcadia from them for five million Mehican Imperial Escudos but keep allowing the Russians to keep their forts for 25 years (Mod response)
 * United Kingdom of Great Britain: With the British holding their own in Germany this is well received. General Winston and his force are ordered to halt and go on the defensive as some forces are pulled off to other fronts. The French and British move forces to the Alps and dig in with them to hold the main passes in the event of an invasion from Savoy. To put pressure on Russia a task force of British ships and troops supported by Scandinavians is sent to take the West Estonian Archipelago by isolating the islands then landing troops putting pressure on the flank of St. Petersburg. The Crown Prince makes a visit to Germany and General Winston's headquarters. Most of the British fleet is in the Baltic supporting operations in Estonia. Troop and ship numbers continue to rise as recruitment goes positively. As industrialisation moves forward it creates competition between civilian and army jobs. While a lock down of the English channel is maintained this is negated by Napoleon's self-sufficiency Payments are made to France and Scandinavia by taking out loans to allow them to maintain powerful armies for the war. The banking sector has to develop significantly to pay the armies across Europe. With demand for weapons, munitions and uniforms up especially as British Arcadia expands its forces and France and Scandinavia are not industrialised so spent much of the money from Britain on buying equipment for their soldiers, industry and so mining moves forward well. While many were unsure of going to war with Napoleon the initial fear that war would be bad for business is wrong. England has 8.6 million people and inside of that London has a population of 0.8 million, Wales has 0.8 million, Ireland has 5.7 million people and Scotland 1.6 million.
 * Kingdom of Avalon, Iroquois and Savannah:  In an attempt to gain experience the Kingdom of Savannah dispatches a delegation of three dozen gentlemen to Britain to volunteer with the British army as officers on multiple fronts and gain experience in modern warfare. Each of the three kingdoms maintain a free trade status with Britain while restrict trade to other European powers with customs. The Kingdom of Iroquois expands 50 px west from Henry's land into OTL Kentucky and Ohio. Migration of those struggling due to industrialisation continues. The Kingdom of Savannah expands 50 px west along into West Mecicipici (OTL Arkansas). The economies of the Kingdom rely on a series of different things with Savannah exporting a lot of fruit, sugar and cotton while Iroquois grow tobacco, cotton and large cattle herds while Avalon still does larger amounts of fishing as well as staple crops. The population of Avalon is 1.1 million, Iroquois has 2.6 million and Savannah has 2.5 million. The Mehican Empire propaganda is worrying, the more established landowners and English ones speak heavily about how Mehica doesn't really worship the Christian God and that they speak a different language. Listening to Mehica propaganda is dangerous because it is such a native society. Illinois is seen as being outright aggressive and in league with Mehica. Removing the monarch when they have full autonomy and a beneficial relationship of trade and migration with an industrialised state seems unwise. The publication isn't read by most people because rural farmers don't tend to read foreign books.
 * Brésil: The Saint-Denis project continues. To organize the colonization of the Cerrado, Chambrun begins to write an ordinance but then questions what unit would be used to measure out claims of land. Measurements were slightly standardized in the Coinage Act of 1892, but many measurements still existed throughout Brésil, many being based off of arbitrary things. Chambrun looking for a practical and standardized measurement makes a competition throughout Brésil with a decent cash prize to whoever can develop the best system. After a few months and many people producing interesting measurements, a man named Hubert Prudhomme finally arrives at court with his system. Prudhomme is a middle-aged man who studied mathematics in a French institution and spends his time running and managing a trading company that sails between France, Burgundy, Brésilian, and other nations in the Francosphere. Through his knowledge and research of French and Burgundian mathematicians since the 1500s, Prudhomme proposes what he calls the "Métrique System" (OOC: Scraw gave me permission). The system is based off of measurements/distances of the Earth. He creates the mètre for length, litre for volumes of liquid, and the gramme for mass. This is declared the standard weights and measures of Brésil by Chambrun, and is set to replace all other systems in the nation. Chambrun then creates the Land Ordinance Act of 1810 which sets up rules of settlement in the uncolonized interior of the country, and provides another revenue stream for the federal government. The Emperor's brother, Cosme Nicolas, is sent to the United Kingdom with gifts to discuss relations. With large amounts of pro-native propaganda being spread around the New World, Chambrun institutes a policy/guarantee that if any natives gain control and overthrow a Catholic government in Laurentia, Brésil will dismantle the false government and re-institute Catholic institutions in that state.
 * Belkan Federation: Seeing war once again sweeping Europe the Congress begins full debate on whether to join the British Coalition or form its own in order to combat the excessively expansionist Napoleon, a stark irony compared to Belka's previous policies, The debate however does give the Generals massive leeway in words of mobilization. As Belka remains on a hair trigger for mobilization the Generals all begins calling up new troops, reserves, as well as beginning the training regimens of the existing 400,000 Belkan troops. Within the full period of this year, the Belkan army is expected to add nearly 250,000 men from new recruits and its reserves. The economics of the Federation begins to become more solid and grounded on a war footing and tens of thousands of people are able to acquire industrial jobs as the Belkan industries for arms, munitions, and textiles take off as well as the artisans who are hoping to make money off the war. The Shipbuilding industry also begins to take off while the Belkan clients of Lombardia and Czechia begin mobilizing their own forces with Lombardia and Czechia both mobilizing upward of 150,000 troops apiece while buying arms from Belka in order to facilitate their build up.

1811
The raging conflicts throughout Europe have infringed heavily on the rights of several minority groups specifically Gypsies and Jews who suffer attacks on their property and lives in all but a few nations in Europe

The Nation of De Platé (OTL Argentina) finally centralizing much of itself under control of the city Normand secures much territory further south pushing into the southern cone of Laurentia and also proves itself to be a competent military force breaking the backs of Mapuche Raiders that consistently raid Platé.

'''The Mehican Empire suffered a huge economic crash as the wars in Europe disrupt much of the profitable trades that the Mehicans generally would partake in. The lopsided trades or lack thereof makes much of the Mehicans pushes in other nations next to useless and previous offers to buy territory worthless.'''

'''Napoleon, from his new position in Savoy, invades France. Although he doesn't have his full army, he is able to incite rebellion among French people who are amazed and inspired by his presence. Additionally, he promises independence to Occitania. Napoleon's numbers are bolstered by the Iberians, who sweep through southern France and join with Napoleon to face the French.'''

Fighting between Coalition forces and Napoleon's Marshals in northern Germany continues endlessly with neither side gaining anything.

Russia and Scandinavia sign a peace, with Scandinavia surrendering Finland to Russia as an autonomous principality.
 * United Kingdom of Great Britain: Seeing the situation in Germany fail to make progress General Winston is ordered to move to Southern France with the bulk of his forces and confront Napoleon. The remaining forces in Germany are ordered to just maintain their position. The Scandinavians now free from fighting with Russia are asked to take a lot of responsibility for holding out in Germany while British and French forces fight Napoleon in the south of France. Seeing that people in France are siding with him this is concerning because he is a foreigner, not much can be done about that. If the rebellion by locals gets to back the coalition can always fall back to central France. Any retreat is done with a scorched earth policy while the navies stop movement of supplies across the Atlantic coast. This must create a supply shortage at some point for the Germans. More money is sent to France to allow them to raise a bigger army through conscription as things get worse they can raise more men.
 * Illinois Confederation:  We fight against Thunder Snake, winning battle after battle. We soon capture Thunder Snake and kill him. We start to rebuild and help the people and we keep trading. Seeing the crisis, we break off ties with Mehicans and we ask the Brits if can part of Savannah where OTL St. Louis is.
 * Mehican Empire: Our emperor tries to gain information on trade with the Illinois. We also stop training Our army to save Taxes that are spend on new materials. Soldiers from Baricano are also send back to the mainland. While in Baricano, we allow militias to defend the island. The Army also mostly moves to the UK border to make sure that they will not invade our native lands. Our Emperor also makes it so that The Barican Export and import tariffs go 1.5% then they were before making it 2.3% tariffs on them. Our Navy also asks the Brésilians for closer economic and military ties and lowering tariffs with each other(Brasil response) so that our economies can be less dependent on European trade and more on trade of Cēmānāhuac. Our heir to the throne "Augustinianus de Mérida e Augusthino Diltwa I" Begins to openly show His liking for Russian culture and he pressures his father to adopt a more Russian-like banner. He also writes the Russian diplomats that he wants to visit Russia. After the crisis is done but that he already seeks to have tutors to teach him their language and even to send missionaries to Mehico to look to see if he should convert to their version of Christianity or not.(mod response)
 * Brésil: European trade heavily decreases due to the Panic of 1811 from Europe being at war. Although this hits Brésil it is to a lesser degree than other nations like Mehico. This leads Chambrun to cut expenditures by decreasing the upkeep for the military and temporarily instituting a cost-sharing program for roads and infrastructure for cities/towns (instead of central government having full responsibility). Tariffs are also temporarily reduced to encourage the trade that is left in the Atlantic to come to Brésil. These changes allow for the investment in the capital project to continue and other necessary programs without the government engaging in long-term debt. In other news, Emperor Alexandre creates the "Académie Impériale des Sciences et des Connaissances" as a learned society and institution similar to ones in Europe. This is a place where more ideas can be developed, collaboration between researchers can take place, more discoveries can be made, and where geniuses can be provided resources they need for experiments. The first man inducted is Hubert Prudhomme. Seven others are also inducted into the society by Alexandre, and the Emperor declares Prudhomme as their leader, and gives him the responsibility to control and add members to the organization who are prominent scholars in Brésil. All of the members are given the title "Imperial Scholars". Prince Cosme stays in the United Kingdom to improve relations.
 * Papal Diplomacy: Pope Henry writes to Emperor Alexandre to inquire as to the status of the Bishop of Saint Peter-in-Brésil. During French times, the Bishop had significant autonomy in governing St. Peter province, and in 1784, he announced loyalty to the revolutionary government.
 * Brésilian Response: Emperor Alexandre ensures the Pope that the Bishop of Saint Peter-in-Brbsil will retain general autonomy in the larger municipal area of Saint Peter, and that state and church should have a close relationship and collaborate. Alexandre also requests some gold to finance a new and grand cathedral (similar to those in Europe) that will be around the new capital plaza in Saint-Denis.
 * Papal Response: Pope Henry thanks the Emperor, and gladly sends a significant sum of gold from his personal funds, as well as a premier architect and engineer, to assist with the new cathedral.
 * Ethiopian Empire: King Joshua continues to use young talent to fill the spots open in government, forming a more educated bureaucracy than before. He beings to get crops yields to rise and encourages sons with no inheritance to move into to cites to set up shops that will help boost the economy. The emperor funds the Colleges of Axum and Adulis to help the nation catch up to the Europeans in the technology, eh also thinks of places to open another College. The best craftsman are hired to help build a red sea trade fleet and so a smaller effect for protections purposes. The Nile fleet is sent to patrol the Nile to keep trade lines open to Europe. The projects to bring flowing water from the Nile are continued slowly, as the purpose of the government is to helps its people. The Imperial guard is sent to train farmers how to fight in case of an invasion or war.
 * Papal States: The Pope is both disappointed with Emperor Napoleon that he has reneged on his promise to stop conquering more land, and disappointed with the Allies for attacking the lands of the man His Holiness recognised as Emperor. As a result, Pope Henry officially declares the neutrality of the Papacy in the current war. Hearing of the attacks on Jews, Pope Henry makes the shock move of re-issuing the papal bull Sicut Judaeis which condemns attacks on Jews. In his proclamation of re-issue, Pope Henry notes that the Gypsies are henceforth also covered under the protections of Sicut Judaeis. Missions continue.
 * Egypt: Cotton plantations begin to grow in both size and number across the Nile, with plantation owners utilizing forced-peasant labour to work on the fields. With the growth of the plantations, cotton exports rise significantly. The Nile to produce large amounts Maize and other agricultural goods such as Wheat. The Antiquarian Cultural of the Abbasids begins a re-imperial amongst the elite of the City of Alexandria, with Ancient Egyptian Tombs being sold and auctioned at extremely high prices. As a result of this, museums across Upper and Lower Egypt, closed by the Ethiopians are re-opened. Despite major interest in that of ancient Egypt, there is a larger interest in the Caliphates of the Abbasids and Rashidun. After analysis of the papers stored within these cities, scholars and scientists begin to continue on work established by the Abbasids with work continued to be conducted on mathematics in Alexandria. The Coptic Population begins to drop slightly, secluding itself to various sections of the city due to segregation, with the Amharic population showing trends of moving south into the Sudanese regions. Muhamed Ali continues his military reforms, establishing a professional bureaucracy and placing it on the standards of a modern military. Cairo begins to book with literature, art and music, beginning to reclaim itself as the centre of the Middle East. The Canal of the Pharaohs, Fitah Al-Farun is expanded. Princess Fatima gains a rare illness. The population stands at 18 million. Tensions grow with the Swahili.
 * OOC: Who is the pope of Alexandria? 
 * Whoever you want him to be. FYI though, the Coptic Church is an independent self-governing church of the universal Catholic Church. ~Cal
 * Hawaii: Colonization and expansion into Hawaiian territories continues. After the annexation of Tonga, settlement of formally Tongan possessions by native Hawaiians continues. Expansion of the Hawaiian navy continues with more European-style ships being constructed.
 * Kingdom of Burgundy: in light of Napoleons invasion of France, King Lodewijk formally enters the war against him. The bulk of Burgundian Royal Army, Under the command of Grand Marshal Frederik van Lëtzebuerg, is sent to link up with the French loyalists. At the same time, cavalry regiments are detached and sent on independent missions behind enemy lines, burning and looting Napoleons supply trains. The Burgundian High Seas Fleet is sent to interdict the sea lanes between Iberia and Napoleons forces.

1812
''' With Burgundy entering the war, Napoleon and his armies leave France to the Spanish and move directly into the heart of Burgundy. With British troops mostly out of Germany, German troops redirect their focus to invade Burgundy as well. This double invasion of Burgundy culminates in one major battle where the Burgundian troops are defeated. German forces take control of Dijon. '''

''' However, things are not so great. The British blockade is making things very difficult for the Germans, as they are relying completely on Spanish help in that regard. As such, Napoleon decides to offer a three-year peace to Britain and Burgundy in exchange for status quo ante bellum. '''

''' In order to impose the will of the Pope, Napoleon orders his troops to cease hostilities on Jews and to protect them. This makes Jews more amenable to the Germans, but their neighbors are not so happy. '''


 * Malaya: We cut down trade with France as our overlords are at war with them. Infrastructure is developed, and urbanisation continues in Borneo. The Navy is redeveloped, with new ships being built in the dry docks at Melaka. Relations are worked on with the other Burgundian protectorates in the region, while religious tolerance is promoted in schools.
 * Kingdom of Burgundy: with the fall of Dijon, an envoy is sent to Napoleon, wanting to accept the peace offer, but notes that they can only accept on behalf of themselves and cannot influence the decision Britain will come to (mod response, please).
 * ​Napoleon accepts this and withdraws his troops from Burgundy. -scraw
 * ​Mehican empire:Our emperor Moctezuma Raul Augusthino Diltwa I dies in office of an illness. His oldest son "'Augustinianus de Mérida e Augusthino Diltwa I" succeeds him as Emperor with his Imperial  name being "Carlos de Mérida e Augusthino Diltwa I" Or shortly said as "Carlos Augusthino Diltwa I". Our new Tlahtoāni Changes the banner and Coat of arms and dresses more European while at the same time He meets the Philosopher of Pino, they talk about all manners like how he believes Pino must be clothed. Pino also gets the request to get state funds by getting Pino his own headquarters and place to print his papers. Carlos even offers him to become the writer of "bandeira verde" the newspaper of Mēxihcah iluitsintli Party. Our Tlahtoāni Asks The Grand Principality of Gran Panama to recognise him as their grand prince and symbolic head of state (note: he does not have actual power).(Mod response)He asks to keep the close ties with them and to further help them for the future. Our Emperor seeing that the tension may come in southern Cēmānāhuac Begins to plan to look for relations with the British with him even offering to meet their King. Meeting each other as equals and as both European brothers (Our Emperor has European heritage).
 * GP says nah. -s
 * Mehican Diplomacy: We warn Gran panama if they do not recognise our Emperor as their grand prince. That we Will arrest the Governor-General and Disband the national assembly. Make a new constitution giving them less freedoms and might.
 * Gran Panama: Try us. -s
 * ​Brésilian Diplomacy: Emperor Alexandre writes that although Gran Panama is a Mehican principality and Brésil respects that, he warns Emperor Moctezuma to not impede on another nation's sovereignty as there will be consequences.
 * United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland: Having failed to defeat Napoleon currently and it looking unlikely that Napoleon will be defeated anytime soon. The British accept the peace offer. Not being willing to simply allow this to be Napoleon's domination of central Europe, the British army is not demobilised but moved back to England for further training. The British army officer academy is expanded with longer periods of training while firmer regulations on promotions are laid down creating set amounts of time an officer has to serve in each rank before he can purchase another one. The academy also creates more stringent entry requirements and passing out requirements. Seeing the need for larger forces to be wielded, the corps is formed allowing larger forces to be moved. Greater emphasis is given over to training off all arms to allow better movement. Horse artillery begins to be introduced in larger numbers and crews are trained to move as such while British cavalry officers are given heavy retraining and maneuvers are conducted on brigade scale. There is a continued recruitment of more soldiers. The country rebuilds its finances after a number of years at war. The British continue to play a large role in helping the French and Scandinavian armies build up by supplying a lot of fund and equipment. Philippe Girard invents a flax-spinning machine. Henry Bell's PS Comet begins a passenger service on the River Clyde in Scotland, the first commercially successful steamboat service in Europe.
 * Kingdom of Ndongo (Angola): We offer trade to the British, Iberian nation and the Swahili nations. We offer ivory, leopard skins, wood, leopard skins and spices in exchange for a few guns, two cannons, some metallic pots and pans, and several dozen of their superior cast metal tools meant for cutting stone and wood. The rulers encourage loyalty to them among the tribes.
 * Brésil: Yo, Saint-Denis project continues and other stuff happens.

1813
''' In France, the king decides to accept a liberal constitution in order to put an end to the revolution. The revolutionaries are discredited and conservatives win the first elections held under the new constitution. '''

''' The Pope is dying in 1815, if you have a vote go vote for a new Pope here. '''
 * Jin dynasty: Kangxi Emperor leads recovery. A ten-year economic policy is drafted, which will emphasize the production of cereal grains, remonetization of the economy through the establishment of gold mines, and encouragement of mercantile and commercial activities to redistribute wealth from relatively-unaffected to the worst hit regions. Industrial facilities continue to churn out massive volumes of wrought iron derived from pig iron, as well as gunpowder and other processed commodities; most of which are utilised in the production of various armaments, firearms and artillery. The Zaihaibian colonies are administered by the Chinese Indies Company.
 * 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 over reliance in inefficient herding).
 * North Mongolia: Yurt is further settled. A healthy aquaculture industry is established, harvesting and raising fish from the Baikal Lake.
 * Maghreb: Coastal irrigation is upgraded. With the updating of fig, millet and date farming, we get a new era of farming. Religion is promoted as a corner-stone of an uninterrupted national unity. Two civil and two military Caravels are built in Tripoli. 100 infantry, 200 sailors and 50 cavalry are recruited; half go to Tripoli and half got to Oran as guards from European privateers. We reaffirm our friendship with the Kingdom of Arabia and Persia. Trade is offered to the Swahili, Kongo and Nadongo - your ivory and exotic animal skins in trade for our figs, dates and millet.
 * Kingdom of Ndongo: We agree to Maghreb's offer. We continue to promote tribal inter unity.
 * Papal States: Napoleon gets a great popularity boost from his implementation of the Pope's re-issuing of Sicut Judaeis, and a delegation of rabbis of Rome profoundly thanks Pope Henry for his kindness to the Jews. The Parlamento authorises a new initiative to improve transport across the States, and asks Great Britain to send some experts on the new steam-driven ships.
 * British Dip: While the British government isn't opposed to the idea, the proprietary technology is owned by private individuals who do offer to sell a large number of steam ships but are unwilling to send experts to help in their production.
 * Mehican Empire: Our Tlahtoāni Sends his diplomats and asks the Gran Panamanians to come and discus the relations and who should be their grand prince and governor-general.(Mod response) While at the same time he puts 20,000 troops on their border to prevent any invasion from them.The Governors of Novo Tejas being allowing foreigners to immigrate so long if they accept Mehican laws and will serve in the Mehican army.legião real estrangeira Is founded as a way for foreigner to serve Mehico so they can get Mehican citizenship and all rights of a Mehican person. Having to serve for at least ten years or risen to the rank of Lieutenant Commander. The taxation over Barican begins to become higher with 0.5% making the import tax 3.0%. This is done because most imports go to Mérida or to Barican ports to then go the mainland. We also make the layered taxation where luxury goods get taxed by the state and by the national government while in territories there is only two layers national and municipal in a state there are three the national,state and municipal taxes but these are low and most of the time only taxed on important goods like guns,books,jewelry.Our farmers in Tejas and Novo Tejas cotton begins to be farmed and produced in greater number then before when it was basically non existing now it has a great amount of farmers dependent on cotton and the servants working on the plantations. This cotton is mostly used in Mehico and other neighbouring states but some is exported to other nation that are unable to produce it themselves
 * United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland: With the war still over, reforms and training continue but appetite for another war with Napoleon declines with more interest outside of Europe. Seeing from the war the need for skirmishers and the power of rifles, marksmen units are formed within each light company to be armed with rifles and to target cannon crew although in Europe it is prohibited to target officers being ungentlemanly. Light companies are worked on to encourage more flexibility. A lot of the soldiers and sailors are released from active duty but could still be called back. The Industrial revolution is really starting as more factories are set up with population growth. Passenger services (by horse-drawn coach) begin on the Kilmarnock and Troon Railway, the first such service in Scotland. Edward Howard invents the enclosed vacuum pan for refining sugar. England has 9.5 million people and inside of that London has a population of 0.8 million, Wales has 0.8 million, Ireland has 5.9 million people and Scotland 1.8 million.
 * British Indian States: In South India, Robert Clive who is the Vizier of the country signs a treaty between the East India Company and South India giving the Company, total control over their trade from the previous near monopoly on trade and responsibility for raising good European style armies. He enhances his position as Vizier to be more permanent by self- declaration. Robert Clive also brings in Sepoy regiments from other states to help train the new army quickly. Much of the old warrior forces are converted to Sepoy units while officers are exclusively recruited from the nobility like in Britain. In the rest of the Indian states. There is an expansion of the number of Sepoys with more recruiting and training of the forces while the heavy cavalry forces are still recruited from Sindh and Gujarat. This is all paid for by the Indian states since these forces are for there protection. Tensions with Bengal are heightened by reducing trade and enhancing border defences.
 * Kingdom of Avalon, Iroquois and Savannah: The gentleman volunteers return from England with their new knowledge and such. The Kingdom of Iroquois expands 50 px west from Henry's land into OTL Kentucky and Ohio. Migration of those struggling due to industrialisation continues. The Kingdom of Savannah expands 50 px west along into West Mecicipici (OTL Arkansas). There is an exploding amount of population with immigration, high birth rates and vast amounts of undiscovered land. The economies of the Kingdom rely on a series of different things with Savannah exporting a lot of fruit, sugar and cotton while Iroquois grow tobacco, cotton and large cattle herds while Avalon still does larger amounts of fishing as well as staple crops. The population of Avalon is 1.3 million, Iroquois has 3.2 million and Savannah has 3.4 million.
 * Ethiopian Empire: With the end of the European war, the observers sent return with valuable military information. They speak of armies that are well trained and paid by their governments, and they remain soldiers after war. Joshua takes this information and downsizes the Imperial guard to 75,000 and institutes the regimental and company system used by the Europeans. The young observers are put in charge of these regiments. The regiments are sent to the different areas of the Ras's. However they are still controlled by the Emperor as he now pays these troops from the treasury. The bureaucracy that has been running the nation for the past few years are set in their positions since they have been running the nation well. The emperor begins to expand the nation south towards the larger lakes in order to give more water for irrigation and the flowing water for cities projects. Emperor subsidized workshops are set up for the arms industry to ensure the best firearms for the Army. The Red sea fleet continues to be built and should be done by next year. Excess funds are put back into to society in the form of more churches and schools.
 * Swahili: We continue colonial expansion in Northern Somalia, in the South and in the Malindi and Mombassa area. Colonisation steadily increases as medicine and weaponry become more widespread. With the victory over many tribes by Zakia's militia, a large wave of colonisation of the inner region begins. Zakia settles down in Malawi and founds the Swahili Military Academy. His old rival Azizi joins him as the first principals of the Academy. Canning is developed in manufactories of Mogadishu as the surrounding areas begin a manufacturing prosperity due to ex-slaves entering the labour market. Calcium and Potassium are isolated in the Malindi Madrassa. The first Swahili scientific Journal is published and multiple new universities are open. Chlorophyll is isolated in the Mogadishu Madrassa. Coal and coke production increases in Mtwara and Ibo.
 * Sefuwa: The colony of Sefuwa continues development.
 * Huriya: Political integration begins with Swahili bureaucrats being sent to oversee some political processes.
 * Rowzi: Political integration begins with Swahili bureaucrats being sent to oversee some political processes.
 * Swahili Diplomacy: We send an emissary to Europe seeking greater relations.
 * Kingdom of Savannah: A newspaper company begins to become extremely popular across the nation named Charleston Times. They are hailed as one of if not the most unbiased news source in the country. General John Wallace begins training his assigned military group of around 12,000 men around a new built training site in the Appalachian slopes for combat training if war ever becomes necessary. In the meantime, eight men in Parliament begin to work on a new ideology of a different form of constitutional Monarchy in Roanoke. Immigration Ports begin to be made with some islands off the coast of OTL North Carolina Outer banks being transformed into areas of immigration. Roads and bridges begin to be used more commonly as well for accommodating easy travel across the kingdom. Royal mints are opened up across urbanized lands. Security measures are at a high though to make sure no immigrants plan to harm anyone due to arising fears of foreigners in some areas but remain as a minimum. In the meantime, cotton production continues to boom making our economy quite sustainable. Diplomats are sent to both Mehico and The Kingdom of Iroquois to better relations and trade routes while in The Kingdom of Iroquois, we discuss common political and economic issues we face and how to resolve them together. Steamships begin to be built further and are found to be quite useful. A medium sized fleet of around 30 ships begins to be built to eventually create a self-sustaining navy to secure protection against foreign invasion and to be used as a buffer if British support is not enough if such an event was to occur.

1814
''' In France, the king decides to abdicate after the Assembly passes many laws that he refuses to sign. His son, the boy Louis, becomes the new king. '''

''' In Hungary, Bathory is killed. People celebrate as his reign of terror has come to an end and he was much despised. However, a power struggle develops between his generals that becomes an allout civil war. '''

''' Pope Henry falls into ill health. '''


 * United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland: With the war still over, reforms and training continue but appetite for another war with Napoleon declines with more interest outside of Europe. Seeing from the war the need for skirmishers and the power of rifles, marksmen units are formed within each light company to be armed with rifles and to target cannon crew although in Europe it is prohibited to target officers being ungentlemanly. Light companies are worked on to encourage more flexibility. A lot of the soldiers and sailors are released from active duty but could still be called back. The Industrial revolution is really starting as more factories are set up with population growth. Pretty sad the British pope is falling ill. George Stephenson puts his first steam locomotive in service, the Blücher for Killingworth Colliery on Tyneside in England. England has 9.6 million people and inside of that London has a population of 0.8 million, Wales has 0.8 million, Ireland has 5.9 million people and Scotland 1.8 million.
 * British Indian States: The training of Sepoy forces continues with Muslim heavy horse forces in addition to Grenadiers. All forces are trained as line infantry. The sale of various Indian goods in Britain grows while South India is brought into the fold as Robert Clive reorganises the taxation system to pay for the government and the East India company. While agricultural production largely is excluded, major industry is taxed. Tensions with Bengal are heightened by reducing trade through tariffs and enhancing border defences.
 * Kingdom of Avalon and Iroquois: The Kingdom of Iroquois expands 50 px west from Henry's land into OTL Kentucky and Ohio. Migration of those struggling due to industrialisation continues. There is an exploding amount of population with immigration, high birth rates and vast amounts of undiscovered land. The economies of the Kingdom rely on a series of different things with Savannah exporting a lot of fruit, sugar and cotton while Iroquois grow tobacco, cotton and large cattle herds while Avalon still does larger amounts of fishing as well as staple crops. The population of Avalon is 1.3 million and Iroquois has 3.2 million.
 * Kingdom of Savannah: Following the events of last year, infrastructure continues to develop. In the meantime, we continue expansion by 50 px to the west. With new settlements popping up and a growing population reaching nearly 3.5 million, new plantations are opened up with land being cleared out for cotton. The cotton gin becomes a highly used product on these plantations. In the meantime, New London sees greater levels of development with an orchestra being created. John Wallace continues to train his men on the Appalachian Slopes. In the meantime, a growth in birth rates and such continue with more immigrants flooding in. Immigrant fears begin to lower. John Wallace is called into combat after a major incident in a small town to the south where natives begin attacking and raiding homes. These are quickly suppressed though. Following this, the call for localized volunteer force is made clear by citizens across the country. Because of this, local militias begin to be formed in small to moderate sized towns and settlements. In total, the average force consist of about 80 volunteer men with muskets and guns used to protect towns from disturbances when called upon by mayors and officials of these area. Following the return of diplomats, as expected cooperation with the Kingdom of Iroquois is made clear with well handled conversations and enjoyment of each other's presence made clear. Diplomats remain in Mehico to possibly place a state of neutrality and friendliness when it comes to presence nearby borders to ensure a state of peace. With this made clear, an offer is made to the Kingdom of Iroquois to hold and invite an assembly of Parliament from both nation's to discuss common issues and to resolve them as one together (Mod Response). 20 more small ships are called to be built with a recruitment of about 3000 men is successfully achieved. Immigration Ports see more activity by the year.
 * OOC Person: Your population is about 3.4 million as of last year not 4.5 million.
 * Sorry about that, I meant 3.5 million. If it is too soon, I'll just change it to that. ;)
 * The Kingdom of Iroquois agrees to send representatives.
 * Mehican Empire:Our emperor demands Gran Panama to come to tables and talk about the future and set the debts they have that they haven't paid yet right and come to a stable political solution. Pino also writes papers about the Savannah and how their spirit to unite British Arcadia will lead to easier and more representative politics for the the white and native men.He himself begins to use the angelised version of Dezia to call all of British Arcadia with ten pounds being the most common used money for he personally sees.The angelisation of Dezia becomes Dixie to make it easier pronounceable and better feeling feeling with the natives.
 * Belkan Federation: The Belkan Federation holds its elections with the right wing party known as the Slavophile party. The Duma, and the various Soviets are all taken by Storm as the threat of Napoleon has become apparent. The New Vozdh, Boris Broz Tito takes power and immediately goes about establishing a major plan for the consequence of a war in Europe between Napoleon and the Belkan state. He immediately begins rebuilding the Belkan military to levels not seen since the Belkan revolution. Upwards of 600,000 troops are fully armed and deployed and the Reserves begin to be brought up to par as well. The Belkan theory of Mass Assault Doctrine begins to come back into practice and exercises are put into place to train the military in the art of this warfare. the rebuilding of the Belkan martial engineers is also taken into consideration as the Engineer regiments are rebuilt and trained in order to quickly build field fortifications among other things. The Industrial strength of the Belkan nation begins to expand significantly as the Danube delta and the Belgrad Industrial complexes take off in massive competition. Manufactured goods begin to flood the market as various craftsman begin to fill in the open factory positions. The Belkan client states also begin to mobilize but as well seem to buy many Belkan markets goods which are known to be some of the most top quality specifically textiles and arms. A Belkan force of roughly 65,000 begins to be marshaled as it prepares to intervene in the Hungarian civil war not wishing to see a unstable state on the northern border of Belka.
 * Jin dynasty: Kangxi Emperor leads recovery, with emphasis on exerting tighter control over China. The ideals of social stratification, elitism, and respect of the establishment are once again promoted among intellectuals. Confucian orthodoxy is promoted, with heterodox sects being shut down. A period of literary inquisition begins, with anti-Kim authors being executed for treason. With the ten-year economic policy being successful so far, the production of cereal grains has rebounded, while the commerce has recovered with the re-monetization of the economy through the establishment of gold mines (reducing reliance on foreign bullion). Taxes, previously set low, are increased, especially on merchants. The tax money is sent to the worst-hit regions to rehabilitate them. Industrial facilities continue to churn out massive volumes of wrought iron derived from pig iron, as well as gunpowder and other processed commodities; most of which are utilised in the production of various armaments, firearms, and artillery. The Zaihaibian colonies continued to be administered by the Chinese Indies Company, though there is talks of it being sold to a foreign power. The Kangxi Emperor decides to maintain a more internally-oriented policy, with most people in Uluru being withdrawn, though a skeleton garrison is maintained as to uphold the Council of Ngarrindjeri.
 * 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 over reliance in inefficient herding).
 * North Mongolia: Yurt is further settled. A healthy aquaculture industry is established, harvesting and raising fish from the Baikal Lake.
 * Maghreb: Coastal irrigation is upgraded, with the updating of fig, grape, millet and date farming. We continue to trade with the Nadongo, considering the earlier deal a success, and make a similar trade deal (our figs, dates and grapes for your Ivory, leopard skins and exotic fruit) to the Swahili and Benin. We promote tribal unity and cultural oneness among the nation. Coastal roads are improved. A new fort opens in Algiers, Oran, Bezerte and Agadir. We wish to open diplomatic and trading relations with the Sicilians.

1815
''' Pope Henry dies. Napoleon moves quickly to invade the Papal States. At the gates of Rome, he threatens to attack the city if the Conclave does not elect the candidate of his choosing. '''


 * Swazi states: The King tours the nation and visits the clan chiefs. Agriculture is promoted and cattle herding is promoted. We pop the agricultural farming techniques up slightly. Genet (animal) are kept as pets and a source of fir (the tails). We want to open trade with the Rowzi Empire to the south, Maghreb, Empire of Ethiopia, Maasai Tribe and the Swahili (our Genet the tails, clubs and rhino horns for your muskets, metal cooking pans and pistols). New sports promoting the use of isihlangu shield, assegai spear and iwisa clubs are devised and promoted.
 * Belkan Federation: Vozdh Tito takes control of the developing situation in Italy and unwilling to see the Papal process overturned as well as seeing a friendly and worthwhile ally from the past as well as being a deeply religion man, The Vozdh declares that Napoleon has overstepped his authority. The Vozdh mobilized the bulk of his army planning on leaving the Reserves and garrisons to hold the line on the Home Front. the Belkan general Vladislav Trescunov takes command of the 400,000 strong main Army and slams through the Austrian Borders as he declares war on Napoleon shortly afterwards recognizing him as the scourge of Europe. Of the remaining 200,000 troops left they join the Lombardian army of nearly 100,000 and they cross the border effectively cutting Napoleons forces off as the Belkan navy mobilizes to prevent supply shipments as well as surprise Napoleons allies. A Series of Surprise raids are conducted on Savoy with major attempts made to burn most of their ships at port. The Italian Campaign is ordered on the lines that Napoleon can and will be trapped outside Rome and the Papal State is called upon to levy its army together to fight alongside the Belkans in order to cause grievous damage to Napoleons armies. While this is not considered a likely option, the Vozdh decides it within his best interests to fight anyways, knowing Belka is a veritable fortress. The main army of 400,000 enters Germany only to quickly link up with a Czech Army of nearly 200,000. The Vozdhs of Belka and Czechia as well as the Doge of Lombardia all coalesce together in the 2nd Coalition and shortly thereafter the Greek Confederation joins as well bringing nearly 50,000 men to the southern Reaches of the Papal state. The 300,000 strong force begins to heavily harass napoleons siege of Rome and the German Expeditionary Army coalesces into a major invasion of Austria and parts of Prussia fully promising the Prussian nobility land gains and their old positions back if they join the Second Coalition against Napoleon (Scraw). While this is the case, the early adopting of industrial production has put Belka in a commanding production lead over pretty much the rest of Europe barring Britain, the Belkan industrial manufactories churn out equipment, uniforms, munitions, and thousands are put to work. The forts along the borders are all manned and such a spacing is left so as to allow the forts to reinforce and if a battle is committed the main reserve army numbering 200,000 can move to counteract. The Vozdh gives a speech in which the most sticking phrase stands out and is published in papers all over the Federation, and its clients, and even across Europe within the end of the month. "This is a total war, one like our Great Crusade against the Caliphate, and one that will end in such a way that puts Napoleon well into his place". Belka calls on its oldest and most reliable ally Russia to join the Second Coalition and crush Napoleon bringing Eastern Europe back to the Order in which was decided decades ago by our two nations (Also Scraw) In other happenings the Belkan population reaches 26 million.
 * The Prussians attempt to secure their independence again thanks to the Belkan invasion, but this creates a problem for Russia as they now need to secure their gains. Russia sends to word to Belka that they will not fight them.
 * Siam- We offer our hand in Buddhist friendship to Đại Việt, Cambodia, Lan Xang, Maori Kingdom, the Kingdom of Malaya and Uluru Empire. We offer trade in exotic spices and fruits to Uluru and Maori Kingdom in exchange for eucalyptus leaves, eucalyptus wood, sea shells, live kiwis and cowala bear skins. We offer trade in in exotic spices and fruits to Burgundy, Bharat and France. We open a new Stupa (temple) in Bangkok and expand our fishing fleet. The king takes a close interest in astrology and promotes learning about the cosmic cosmos.
 * Brésil: In 1814, after Chambrun's eventful Grand Deputiship, a French-Italian writer in his second term of deputiship is elected named Yannic-Pierre Gachet. Although the economy has mostly recovered from the First Coalition War, with Napoleon's aggression starting again, Gachet decides not to raise tariffs to encourage Atlantic trade to come to Brésil. Gachet continues to use most government funds towards the Saint-Denis Project. The Palais Députés is completed as well as the Palais Medici. Many minor buildings around the plaza have also been completed, and the garden has been installed. The State of Saint-Denis and the reflecting pools are still to be done, as well as a few minor buildings, and the Palais Tribunal, which Gachet estimates will be done by the end of the decade. Gachet completes two books, "Les Croyances de Mon Père" encouraging conservatism and support for Parti Traditionnel, and "Le Destin" which outlines many conservative principles. Gachet attempts to push for constitutional amendment to guarantee the Grande Parlement, but is quickly shot down by the Emperor and the rest of the Assembly. Colonization continues; in the north it is mainly focused on rivers, in the south the savanna continues to be settled. Compositions and designs are redone on national coinage. Gachet invites Gran Panaman leaders to the rebuilt city of Bélem to improve relations and discuss trade deals. They are promised gifts (mod response). Probably more to come...
 * ​Gran Panama sends representatives.
 * Hawaii: We continue expanding across the Pacific, trading and settling our various conquered or colonized possessions, especially Tonga, and other islands in the far southwest. The king declares neutrality in the wars in Europe, despite the hostility against the state of France, a lapsed ally of the Hawaiians. An ambassador is sent to establish an embassy in the newly formed Germany and hopefully establish good relations. It is discovered that an inventor in France has successfully captured the first ever photograph, and makes the news across the European country. The Hawaiian government learns of this, via the embassy in Paris, and offers the inventor funding in exchange for access to this technology once it reaches a practical stage. (I'm running out of non-photograph pictures for my leaders and the camera isn't too far off anyway.) The sandalwood commodity, the highly valued Hawaiian commodity, especially in China, continues to be mass produced. Due to the greater interconnectedness the kingdom has established with the west, this leads to a minor economic boom. Major plantations begin to spring up all across the kingdom. The money is used to further upgrade the nation's infrastructure and military, especially the modernized navy. A law is drafted that is to be put into law sometime next year reforming the Hawaiian naming conventions. All Hawaiians are to take their father's given name as a surname. Future children are allowed to receive a unique name as per tradition, however this is to be relegated to a middle name, following either a simple Hawaiian name, a Christian name (from French), or a "Hawaiianized" Christian name, such as "Lui" or "Pier".
 * United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland: With the expiration of the peace terms and Napoleon being completely out of line in invading the Papal States and demanding choosing the Pope. In addition to Belka having joined in Britain declares war on Napoleon's Germany and requests France, Burgundy and Scandinavia support (mod response). 60,000 troops are dispatched under General Whinston to Burgundy through the ports of Rotterdam and Amsterdam protected by the fleet. An additional 20,000 are dispatched to Scandinavia to help in fighting there. The British, Burgundian and potentially French force enter Germany south west of the Rhine and are ordered to advance south up the river largely along the western river bank with the goal of putting some distance between German troops and Burgundy. New skirmishers are included in forces. The Industrial revolution is really starting as more factories are set up with population growth. Sir Humphry Davy announces his discovery of the Davy lamp as a coal mining safety lamp. William Prout anonymously publishes his hypothesis that the atomic weight of every element is an integer multiple of that of hydrogen. England has 9.8 million people and inside of that London has a population of 0.8 million, Wales has 0.8 million, Ireland has 6.0 million people and Scotland 1.8 million.
 * British Indian States: The updating of forces is likely to be finished this year which gives the East India company a very large force indirectly at their disposal. Taxes continue to be raised largely by tax farmers to pay for the army. Trade with Britain grows obviously since there is no other trade. The East India company are pretty content to simply take agricultural produce as taxes to pay for the army and the trading and such makes them a profit.
 * Kingdom of Avalon and Iroquois: The Kingdom of Iroquois expands 50 px west from Henry's land into OTL Kentucky and Ohio. Migration of those struggling due to industrialisation continues. There is an exploding amount of population with immigration, high birth rates and vast amounts of undiscovered land. The Kingdom of Iroquois has a mixed opinion on the Kingdom of Savannah. The population of Avalon is 1.3 million and Iroquois has 3.2 million.
 * The General Assembly of France votes against war.
 * The Kingdom of Burgundy declares war alongside the British.


 * Mehican empire: Our emperor readies his army into panama and arrests it leaders stating their actions are illigal and against their own laws and treaties of governance.The cotton gin also begins to be use more widly spread with most to Tejas and Novo Tejas Using it and farmers in those region using it as their main export. The regions they export to being Panama and the Salish,The cotton is also used in military uniforms and as normal clothing for the nobles and middle class. Our General Geronimo begins to write a book about naval tactics and the importance of a big navy. With it he also makes a naval flag for the Mehican navy. Geronimo also thinks that the navy should be split in three cores and two regions, the cores being military, supply and exploration, with the regions being the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans.
 * Papal States: The government and the Conclave is shocked and confused by Napoleon's sudden turning on the Papacy. Having come to enjoy friendly relations with the late great Pope Henry, who recognised Napoleon's imperial titles and praised him for his protection of the Jews and gypsies, it is quite distressing that the Emperor would so swiftly change his position. The Conclave essentially tells Napoleon to go bugger himself, and they elect the Ecumenical Patriarch who takes the name Michael II. The leder of the Parlamento gives homage to the new Pope. The Papal Army is mobilised to fight Napoleon in concert with the Belkans.
 * Hawaiian Diplomacy: The Catholic community of Hawaii makes a request to the Pope asking that the Apostolic Vicariate of Hawaii and Polynesia be elevated to a formal diocese led by a Bishop of Honolulu. Additionally it is asked that an Apostolic Vicariate of Polynesia, Apostolic Prefecture of Hema Pae 'Aina, Apostolic Prefecture of Tonga, and Mission sui iuris of Angu-Zia be either created or made subject to this new ecclesiastical province.
 * Kingdom of Savannah: As we continue to develop our infrastructure further, our manpower also increases slightly. John Wallace continues handling and managing to train recruits and military force. In the meantime, more ships are constructed with 20 more ordered to be built. Cotton Plantations are expanded and with that, more cotton is able to be distributed for international trade with most going to Our European Trade Partners and Great Britain. Following the conference held in New London and seeing it as a successful meeting, another request is dispatched to perhaps hold meeting annually to support and provide more efficiency in resolving similar issues as overall, our nations are very similar to one another when it comes to economic and financial standings (MOD Response). Pino's works of literature that have been imported in secret begins to impact and alter the Charleston Times news source and begins to now publish papers that propose unity with our Arcadian Neighbor to the north. These imported and hard to find books are spreaded though across household in New London and acll the way north to Roanoke. Settlements and towns are built across the newly captured lands which begin to house more immigrants as our immigration policies push to become more favorable for foriegners from Europe and more. We expand 50 px west. Small trading docks are made across the Missisipii River and steamships begin to be built across the area for small yet growing river communities. More ports are opened creating thriving sea town communities.
 * The Kingdom of Iroquois agrees.

1816
''' Napoleon is greatly disappointed that the Conclave elected the Ecumenical Patriarch instead of someone more in the mold of Pope Henry. '''

''' As Belka is now at war with Germany, Napoleon asks his wife's Egypt to declare war on Belka and also asks the Arabs to join. '''


 * Maghreb: Coastal irrigation is upgraded, with the updating of fig, grape, millet and date farming. We continue to trade with the Swazi states, considering the earlier deal a success. We create a unit of 1000 infantry troops equivalent of the Janissaries class, 100 sailors, 100 archers and 250 cavalry troops equivalent of the Mamluk classes. They are split in to four units - one in Tripoli, one in Tunis, one in Oran and one in Rabat. We reassure the tribes around Tuat of our protection and send ten Janissary-type troops their. We make 20 cannons and one Man-of-war class ship They all go to protect Tunis. Two merchant and navy caravels are built. The navy caravels will help defend Casablanca. Three new forts are built, they are in Tripoli, Fez and Oran. Our fishing fleet expands and many dhows are built. We explore a 10 px long and 2 px wide strip down the southern coast (OTL W. Sahara\Mauritania coastline zone). We go neural on European issues.
 * Maghreb Dip: We would like to open diplomatic relations with Belka (Belkan player decide). We would like to open diplomatic relations with Benin, Iberia, Rashdun, Egypt and that small green state that occupies the island of Sicily and southern Italy (mod decide). We offer a trade deal to Benin - our figs, dates, swords and grapes for your ivory, leopard skins and exotic fruit (mod decide).
 * Mehican Empire:Our emperor invites the Salish to join A liga de proteção de Cēmānāhuac as a voting member.Where the league is there to defend all nations in Cēmānāhuac from foreign agression of all sorts,millitary,economic and cultural agresion.At the same time also promoting peace between all member states.Our emperor also annoces that he will clean internal borders and make the states into Governates with a apointed governer.Who is apointed by the emperor or the cabinet of his adivsors.These reforms are made to make the state more centralised and easier to tax and raise a army for.Our Army also makes it so that terrotories can only have armies of vollentering men who will be trained as profesionals while states can have that if needed men can be constripted into the army to defend their country.Our army also wins the fight against the panamanian rebelion.(Algo)Our Emperor apoints their first governer and abolishes their old national assemble.And replaces it with a apointed Duma which is a boddy of ministers ruling over each governate meaning this is also for all other states.
 * Belkan Federation: Seeing the situation further turn and boil about as the joining of multiple western nations brings a true organizational structure to the 2nd Coalition, The Belkan armies remain in their current objectives and the Lombardian army is removed from coalition control and placed directly inside Savoy in order to prevent supplies and reinforcements from heading to Napoleons Italian expedition. Napoleons expedition is also cordially sealed off by fortifications effectively trapping him from just a few kilometers north of Rome down to Naples with much of the sea lanes in between patrolled heavily by the Belkan navy. With the italian front going well, the Belkan forces practically overrun Austria and take Vienna in short order, beginning to formulate the Austrian Confederation using the Belkans constitutional federal model over Napoleons undeveloped and unrefined revolutionary model. Another potential model is offered to the Prussians with the papers on Belkan Constitutional monarchy being granted over to the Prussians to influence their rebelling factions towards a more liberal government while still maintaining Prussias military prowess much like Belkas situation. The German campaign with the conclusion of the Austrian phase leaves generals rather puzzled as the Armies faced in Austria are nothing like the Armies which they saw thrashing much of Europe beforehand. Refusing to give any repreive the Belkan armies begin a second invasion towards Prussia fully intending on fully re-establishing Prussian independence and bringing a powerful and competent Prussian army and state back into existence. With this in Mind, the invasion begins as nearly 200,000 troops move towards Berlin, while the remainder made of 200,000 Belkans and 100,000 Czechs push west in an attempt to break out and reach the coastal mouth of the Elbe river with Dresden and Wittenberg falling after some dynamic but fruitless fighting by German Forces. It begins to be assumed that the majority of the German forces are in Italy or in Western Europe fighting the British and Burgundian armies. This begin to lead to a possible drawdown as the Belkan forces catching wind of a Arab or Egyptian intervention, begin preparing for their own offensive hoping to use superior technology and strategy to fight them. The spreading out of the war though does leave the Vozdh in a precarious situation as he does begin to consider the lack of troops at home if he carries out this next operation but he authorizes the buildup anyways.
 * France: King Louis, age 14 and very angry at his father, orders the immediate execution of the former King (his father) after a dissatisfying argument with him. His mother would be imprisoned, with only his older brother, Pierre, who is 16, not facing any consequences due to their established brotherhood and friendship. Having no pre-existing knowledge about politics, Louis begins to sign almost any bill proposed by the General Assembly, pleasing many and ending any political unrest for the moment. The current population is 30 million. The French Royal Army is settled at 200,000, with most of the soldiers being able-bodied men aged 18-25. The French East Indies Company, having become majorly defunct following large scandals and political corruption, is politically disbanded and re-established as an external, organized territory of France, with Charles Bonaparte, second cousin to Napoleon and politician, becoming the leading governmental figure of French Indonesia.
