Rise of the South (Map Game)

Welcome to Rise of the South, a map game about the rise of the Confederate States of America during the American Civil War.

On the date of April 2, 1865, Lieutenant General Nelson Appleton Miles of the Union launched an attempt to capture the Sutherland Station of Dinwiddle County, Virginia to cut off the supplies lines of General Robert E. Lee of the Confederate States of America. In the end Lieutenant General Miles assault to capture the station has failed, suffering more than 4,000 casualties and failing his objective to take the station.

Following the unsuccessful attack to cut off General Lee's supply lines, General Ulysses S. Grant has still initiated the third assault to capture the town of Petersburg, Virginia in the Third Battle of Petersburg. When the battle started, Union troops failed to capture to Fort Mahone, suffering extreme casualties including the destruction of the IX Corps, and the death of commander Major General John Grubb Parke. As the IX Corps fail to take Fort Mahone, General Ulysses S.Grant tries one last attempt to take the strategic position, which ends in catastrophe, following the death of more than 9,000 Union soldiers and also the death of Ulysses S. Grant.

After the Third Battle of Petersburg, Union troops were forced to fall back across the Potomac River, allowing Confederate troops commanded by General Robert E. Lee to retake land that was occupied by Union forces. Following the death of Ulysses S. Grant, Union troops have been heavily demoralized and war wearied.

As of 1872 the war has ended with the Confederate States of America remaining independent in peace with its rival to the north. This map game is still under development.

Nations
If nation has (X) written next to it please read the "Picking a Primary Nation" section on the rules page.

Everybody is obliged to start making their nation page.

Keep in mind players who want to play as colonies of a greater nation can kick the current player out of that spot if the current player is also playing as the main state.
 * Example: If I want to play as Cuba which belongs to Spain, and the player of Spain is currently signed up as Cuba you can sign yourself up as Cuba. This also goes for vassals and puppet states.

1872
'Yohannes IV is crowned Emperor of Ethiopia in Axum, the first ruler crowned in that city in over 500 years. '

Rex, the most famous parade on Mardi Gras, parades for the first time in New Orleans for Grand Duke Alexei Mikhailovich of Russia.

'Execution of the Filipino priests Jose Burgos, Mariano Gomez, and Jacinto Zamora, collectively known as Gomburza, in Bagumbayan Fields, Manila, Philippines by the authorities of New Spain on charges of subversion arising from the 1872 Cavite mutiny. '

An earthquake with an estimated magnitude of 7.2 strikes Lone Pine, California.

Russia: Autonomy of the Duchy of Finland and the Kingdom of Poland continue to increase. The large majority of peasants in the Russian Empire, starts a large spread of curiosity throughout the government. Many government officials believe that an uprising could occur throughout the majority of the population because of this. Due to this we increase tax spending on attempting to increase the wealth of the peasant class. We ask to start a military alliance between the two nations of Austria-Hungary and the German Empire called the League of Three Emperors in order to ensure the security between our nations. Our army score .50 to 2.50. Military vessels continue to be docked at the United States of America, as well as our territory of Alaska.

Empire of Brazil: The Emperor of Brazil, Emperor Dom Pedro II fresh off of many successes such as the victory of the Paraguayan War, begins to encourage a distinct increase in Industrial Capability, as well as expansion of Agriculture. He encourages expanded agriculture in Coffee production, as well as allowing the previously expanding Rubber Indsutry to continue with its huge growth and profit over the years allowing the Empire to secure a larger portion of the Rubber trade towards Europe and North America. Along with this Dom Pedro II meets with advisors who agree that Railroads currently throughout the country must be expanded incrementally and at a decent pace to help the expansion of many industries. The Navy and Civilian builders also begins looking towards better and more efficient steam propulsion on ships looking towards building steam barges to help transport goods from the Interior provinces and farms. The State of Acre which officially Bolivian is continually settled by Brazilians with the Rubber production taking total control of the area and Brazils hold over the area is even more solid than Bolivian hold.

The Empire also begins a notable program of holding its Military at its current numbers intent of creating a strong internationally respected nation. 250,000 troops are left in the military with their training expected to be expanded to help with more climates and a better udnerstanding of tactics. The Imperial navy however begins the more notable expansion working on establishing the ability to fight outside the coastal waters of the Empire. Many blue water capable ships are constructed at the order of the Minister of the Navy. Along with this the search for a new service rifle for the Army begins and the clash begins for domestic development or Foreign purchase. The Army training allow for an increase in our Army score to 1.5

The Emperor Personally greets many of the many European Immigrants that Arrive in Rio De Jeneiro as with Brazil growing internationall recognition almost 40,000 european immigrants arrive. The population of the Empire Grows to about 10.15 million as population growth continues as well. The Emperor also in collusion with the Parliament and the Judicial system agree on a modification to the Lines of Succession to the Throne of the Empire with the most directly blood related Male Heir to the Brazilian Throne put at the top of the line to take the throne. This allows any male child that the Emperors daughters have (in which the first daughters male child will take precedence of the the younger sister), if no sons are alive or able to take the throne, to become next in line of succession and recieve the Royal education program. This is done as it is known that the emperors daughters especially the one currently in line for succession is vastly unpopular and deemed by many of the middle class and nobility as unfit to claim the throne to the empire. The Emperor alongside this encourages his Daughter to start a family and have a male child so that a new heir Apparent to the Brazilian throne is born and the Monarchial line can continue. The Emperor being Revitalized by his decision to allow this type of thing to happen takes a more active stance in the empire politics running more things and getting effective legislation passed. The Emperor with direct support from parliament seeking larger international recognition sends multiple envoys to the United States, Mexico, Great Britain, German, and attempts to resstablish diplomatic ties with Portugal '''Dom Pedro II however remembers his Ancestral Ties and strengthens his claim to the succession of the Portugeuse throne developing an international Ambition. '''
