The New Map Game (Map Game)

Orignally Inspired by the original Map Game, here is a really awesome new one!

Rules
The Rules are as follows,


 * Just like the original Map Game, a turn is a year
 * Take your turn by writing a bunch of random events, then edit the map (Microsoft Paint, FotoFlexer, Adobe photoshop, of any other photo editor will do, but we recomend Plixr)
 * Don't be ridiculous! (i.e. Finland cannot dclare independence and then invade the entire world, all in a year)
 * If you don't have a map to show for your new edit, it will be deleted! or a map will be mad based on the stuff you wrote
 * This will stop in 1650
 * Please leave comments on the talk page!
 * WE WILL ADD MORE YEARS ONCE WE GET THERE!
 * One other person must go again before you take a turn!
 * PLEASE, make the pictures more consistent. it just looks weird
