The Greater Americas (Map Game)

This game revolves around the idea that instead of all the powerful and developed nations appearing in Europe and Asia, with the Americas being discovered with less developed peoples, then being conquered and colonized - the opposite happens. The developed nations appear in the Americas, and then the rest of the world is discovered, conquered and colonized. The PoD is not clear, though it might have been to do with the way species moved as the supercontinent Pangea broke up. The game starts at the point of discovery of Europe and Africa. The calendar evolved diferently so we start in the year 812, which is equivalent to 1700s OTL. The colonization race has begun.

Rules

 * 1) Be plausible. We don't dominate the world in a week or allow alien space invaders helping your nation.
 * 2) One nation per user, except puppet states and colonies.
 * 3) Game starts in 812.
 * 4) One turn per day.
 * 5) Each turn is a year until 1000. Then each turn is six months.
 * 6) Edit the map yourself if the mods have not made the changes you need.
 * 7) Don't overcolonize. Countries can't have colonies everywhere.
 * 8) Don't expand too fast. We don't want nations to be doubling in size every day.
 * 9) The game starts on January 6th (2012).

Archives
There will be archives every 20 years up until 1000 G.A (Greater Americas year), from when it will be 10 years. The first archive will be of 8 years, however.

Tips

 * Before choosing your nation, we advise you look at the country profiles page here, to see what nation you would like.
 * Once you have chosen your nation, you can change the profile to show how you are developing.
 * Feel free add any missing nations!
 * Flags are optional but advisable as they help give a national identity.
 * Colonies or puppet states can become independent from your nation if they are not happy with your nation. These then become a new nation and are added to the list, free for new players.

Mods
If you think either of us are being unfair, tell us: ForsakenPear and Imperium Guy
 * ForsakenPear - I am the creator. I am in charge of natural events (e.g. earthquakes, floods, droughts, etc.). I am also head cartographer.
 * Imperium Guy - I am in charge of inactive nations if needed (e.g. if they are offered an alliance) and the guy who will keep Mr FP in check, lol.

821
''' This year is a go. The previous years have been archived. '''

''' The Franks collapse as smaller nations raid them for technology and surrounding nations take over most lands of the Franks. The Mongols manage to make contact with one of Patagon's exploring ships in the area. The meetings go fine, and everything looks ok, for now atleast. '''
 * Patagon: A fleet of five ships is sent to northern Terra Australis. There, the natives agree to become part of Patagon, on the conditions that they will have full access to Patagonian technology and their current leader will still be in charge of the colony. Considering his accomplishments and popularity among his people, the high ruler agrees to this as long as the local leader will still answer to the mainland. The national economy continues to improve.
 * The Incan Empire: The Emperor issues a law giving Eu'ropa natives similar rights to Incan citizens, such as the right to own property and serve in the armed forces. While improving the natives' rights, it is far from making them equal. An exploration fleet discovers OTL Italy and colonizes OTL Sicily.
 * Incan Diplomacy: The Empire suggests that the Empire and Huari merge into one nation. The Emperor also asks the Great States for an Alliance.
 * Kingdom of England: With the increases of foriegn colonizers, the King of Wessex marries the daughter of the King of Northumbria on January 2. The King of Northumbria is soon killed by food poisining on january 30. The King of Wessex then becomes the King of Northumbria as well. He then quickly captures the Kingdom of East Anglia on March 21, the Kingdom of Mercia on June 3, and the Kingdom of Cornwall on September 2. He then declares himself the King of All England. The Kingdom of England then comes into effect on the 22nd of September, Anno Domini 821. King Christopher of England begins to rebuild England from its wars of unification. (note: those kingdoms that were conqured comprise all of OTL England.)
 * The Mojave: The colony of Singapore continues to expand northward, by an few miles, and increasing construction of Pearl Harbor begins. Scout ships are sent to discover what else is out there, they discover OTL Japan, Korea, and the Coast of China. Meanwhile, research on the firearm continues, and the building of the forts continue. Landing parties are sent onto the newly discover lands, but the landing parties are forced off their land, and they head back to Singapore.
 * United Amazon is all set with it's expedition, and one team of three ships head north, and land in OTL France, while the other expedition heads south, and misses OTL South Africa and instead lands in Madagascar. The sailors in France leave behind 50 men to establish a small fort using nerby resources while the rest go send information about there information, while the ones in Madagascar have to stay for the rest of the year there because of storms.
 * The Aztecs officially gain control of the Olomec and make contact with the Mojave. They ask them for an alliance and trade agreements. They establish colonies across the Philippines, covering every island except Mindanao.
