Principia Moderni II (Map Game)

Principia Moderni, or "The Beginning of the Modern" in Late Latin, was a map game beginning in the final days of the Middle Ages in Europe, and the early days of the Ming Dynasty in China - in 1420 C.E, a turbulent era; in other words, an era of change; an era in which power is cemented. The first game was perhaps the most successful map game on the wiki in terms of length, finishing without dying and plausible expansions. However, it did have its problems, and has now finished. Thus, this second game has been created. Welcome to Principia Moderni II.

Signups
All nations without names by them may be taken by new players immediately. Nations with normal names by them may not be taken by new players as they are already established main player nations, and cannot be played without permission or a revolt. Bolded names are international unions, with member states indented below. Tribal Names are Italicized, and areas which are fragmented by being small states are underlined. Nations in civil disarray or collapsing nations have an attached note. If a player's name has an * beside it, it means that nation is a vassal/former colony that a player is controlling but is willing to let someone else play as if asked. Areas which ** are mod-controlled and players must ask permission to play them.

Russia grudgingly continues its stance on Scandinavia. Socialism grows. The Census is expected to take one-to-two years to fully complete, as determined by the newly-created Bureau of Vital Statistics. Russian railroads begin to be used more and more by the wealthy. The government waits to see their effectiveness before beginning construction on other lines. Many proposals pop up for the "Second Railway", one of them from Riga to Novgorod, and another from Minsk to Kazan via Moscow. Russia once again asks to purchase the Portuguese colony in Antillia on behalf of the UKA.
 * Minsk: works on its economy. Industry builds up at an exponential rate. More textile factories emerge all around the nation, as the resource of the twin-piston steam engine is being used exquisitely well. The Wealthy begin using railways to ferry resources and personnel between the four largest cities in Russia. The Census is expected to take one-to-two years to fully complete, as determined by the newly-created Bureau of Vital Statistics.

Industrialization begins to speed up dramatically, due to the rise of personal enterprises and the steam engine. More rifles are built. We ask China if we can extend the train to Harbin.
 * The Hellenic Union continues to develop steel and glass around Constantinople, and also see it spread to Attaleia and the Hellenic Peninsula, specifically Athens. Cement begins to be used in Constantinople also, and some glass and steel begins to be used in government and other important buildings. The Athens - Constnatinople railway is finished and passengers, cargo, and military begin to be transported on the route. The railway is extended to Smyrna, Bodrum and Attaleia, and on the Hellenic side, Corinth, as well as two branches from Corinth to Patra and Corinth to Kalamata. Also, there is a new railway line from Ioannina to Thessaloniki. These railways are scheduled to be finished by 1817. In the colonies of Nea Lefkosia, Nea Athina and Nea Konstantinoupoli, fertiliser is spread around, and small railways are created, especially in Nea Lefkosia and Nea Konstantinoupoli, to encourage trade and also, in Nea Lefkosia, to make it easier to travel to the one port and capital of the colony, known as Tamanakia after a local Indian leader, because of the panhandle style of the colony. The railway of Nea Konstantinoupoli travels between the two cities of Doualia (situated on OTL Douala) and Prasinopolis, situated on OTL Libreville. Cloth factories also begin to be founded in Tamanakia, Doualia, Prasinopolis and Adamoupolis, the capital of the Nea Athina colony, as well as paper mills. Additionally, the city of Alexandrouplis tou Atlantia, founded in the centre of Nea Lefkosia, is given a train line to Tamanakia to improve exports to the Caribbean. Nea Lefkosia is expanded by 12,000 sq km and Nea Konstantinoupoli expands by 12,000 sq km also.
 * Cyrenaica acquires paper mills and cloth factories in Benghazi, and expands 20,000 sq km southward.
 * France: Nouvelle Bourgogne expands 5000 sq km around the territory of Chimu, while Baie d'Eric (Erik's Bay) expand by 1500 sq km inland and Brasilea expands by 5000 sq km inland underneath the Cypriot colony and Baie d'Notre Dame expands by 8500 sq km Inland, while La Riviere expands by 2000 sq km northward. It assures the alliance to the Dutch Netherlands and prompts the Carthaginian army to build up defenses along the Mauritanian-Morocco border in Africa. The Byzantine Empire is contacted, and offered an alliance in order to establish more allied friendly nations in the east. The industrialization continues, and the first railway begins to be developed. It's a five-way railway connecting the main capitals of the French League, between Bourdeaux, Paris, Lorraine, Toulouse, and Avignon. The plan is a basic faster connection between the main Capital and residence of the French king to its main friendly leaders of the French peoples, the train would be to allow access of trade faster from Aquitaine to central France, and to move troops to the Atlantic coast or eastern France faster, Vassalization of Switzerland begins, some clothing factories begin to appear mainly near Paris, Bourdeaux and Toulouse, most of them are new ones, trying to use new means to increase the amount of cloth per worker the construction of the league railways continues without little progress, however. After much thought the trade agreement with Kasodani is accepted.
 * Lorraine: Military is built up. School system grows and the nation builds from the war.
 * Carthage Elissa III reign proves worthy, the Nestorian church grows back to its power, as the Roman Catholicism lose part of its power on the region, during this events Elissa is crowned as Queen of Africa and Numidia. Military is built up. Elissa begins the process of urban Carthage, with the foundation of several new coastal cities Like Nova Burdigala, Nova Lutetia and Nova Massilia, in the northwestern coast of Carthage, most of this cities using steam powered boats in the coast for the new fishing industries.
 * Leptis: Military is built up and school system continues growing. The expansion starts southward of the empire by 10,000 sq km.
 * Numidia: Military is built up and school system continues growing. The expansion starts southward of the empire by 10,000 sq km.
 * Occitania: Military is built up and school system continues growing and navy expands. Declares war against Persia.
 * Tyrol: Military is built up and school system continues growing. Tyrol is divided in two districts, Rhaetian and German district: The Germans occupying the north while the Rhaetian, the south.
 * La marche: Military is built up and school system continues growing.
 * Zululand: Military is built up The expansion starts by 10,000 sq km to the north.
 * Muiscas: The military is built up and the navy expands. Expansion toward the south starts at 10,000 sq km. Aids Aquitaine in the war.
 * Nouvelle Judea: Military and navy are built up as Moises 1st, traders such as Ibn Jeshua, continue working for the French navy and the Judean navy, respectively.
 * Venaissin: The military is built up and the navy expands.
 * Haut Bourgogne: Military and navy are built up.
 * Basse Bourgogne: Military and navy are built up.
 * Picardy: Military and navy are built up.
 * Basotho: Military and navy are built up. The expansion starts by 10,000 sq km to the north.
 * Aquitaine: Military and navy are built up.
 * Angouleme: Military and navy are built up.
 * Lakota Tribes: Expansion of Lakota agriculture continues along the Pekitanoui River and its tributaries. Irrigation begins to spread along the Pekitanoui River, mainly in the southern portion, increasing the amount of farm and grazing lands, increasing agriculture production and attracting more buffalo. Hunting of the buffalo continue as more of their skins are used as clothing and teepee coverings, and more of their meat is used to feed the growing population. The palisade wall idea has been completed on smaller towns closer to the capital Wiconwico U and has now also completed on more outlying towns. The tribal feudal system developed by Chief Looks To The Sky has led to some tribesmen being employed under lesser chiefs as farmers for their large fields, but they hold more rights and respect than OTL European Serfs. Trade with the Mayan's, Normandy and the Apache continue, growing the Lakota tribal economy.
 * Saxony: The military expands with the passing of the Wehrpflicht (conscription) act in the Landtag. Death rates in the new industrial and mining towns decrease as the smallpox vaccine become even more widely spread. Tanimbarkai expands its military and its nascent telegraph network. Saxon Australis expands 1000 sq km toward the Welsh colony. Saxon West Africa expands 1000 sq km inland along the Kongolese border, and the Guinea Schutzgebiet expands 1000 sq km west along the coast. Anhalt and Cologne expand their militaries. Scandinavia is offered the Faroe Islands in exchange for a part of Denmark bordering Bavaria's Hamburg Kommisariat. The territory would have to include coastline and a decent port.
 * Imperium Africana expands its military, economy and infrastructure, including those of the dominions and vassals. The railway network of the empire continues to expand throughout the nation, and continues to lead the world in sheer size. The colonies of Mogäs and Tumaini are expanded by 750 km each, while Bärädä is expanded by 1000 km, and Dähnnät by 1500 km. The Emperor authorizes the invasion of Great Brython to punish it for its numerous invasions and conquests, especially against the Dutch with whom though the Ethiopians did not like for their conquest of their old lands, they sympathized with them as a conquered people, the event echoing such wars as the one with the Caliphate. The Emperor orders several thousands of troops to invade to complete the task. The adoption of a special Amharic-Hindi language is in the works, with development of the older hybrid language from the past to be used by the government. Already spoken by one-third of the population as a communication medium, the empire sees this as a good chance to bring the dominions and vassals closer together as a single unit, especially when it comes to building stronger regions with long-time ally, the United Maharajya.
 * Dean posted on the 28, so technically it's still a player nation, not an NPC.
 * Ah, okay. I thought he bailed. Sorry. ~Viva
 * Many merchants from the SOC begin to express interest in this new hybrid language being under discussion. They think this will help trading and make communication so much easier.
 * Hearing of the invasion of their brethren, the Dumas of the Russian realms decide to put off the census, and the nations of Russia, Ukraine, Riga, Suur-Suomi, Minsk and the Caucasus declare war on the Imperium Africana.
 * Read the fine print. I invaded the wrong nation. ~Viva
 * Riiight...
 * The Iraqis continue to expand their influence in Kuwait. Nestorianism and Zoroastrianism continue to expand in Iraq.
 * ARK: Two more legions are trained and King Gopan puts all Apache Legions under his direct control. He makes it mandatory that each district keeps two Conscript Legions on active service and five Conscript Legions on standby. King Gopan sends a request to Saxony for the smallpox vaccine. King Gopan lets it be known to the Senete that he is a Shamanist and the Senete chambers erupts into chaos as the Catholics and Gaoist blame each other and the Shamans. Everyone is silenced when the Bishop of Ekta, Father Eknath shouts " Look at yourselves you argue like little childern just because he believes in spirits instead of God. We all are children of God and God loves us all. Now stop your bickering because he became king on your VOTES AND BECAUSE OF HIS SKILL. SO BE QUIET AND ACCEPT IT." The Senators are silent and someone shouts "I am loyal to the King and God alone" and that is taken up by the entire Senate - just a little different for the Shamanists. The people are a little angrier but nothing spills over to full out rebellion just protests that soon die out.
 * China expands its military, economy and infrastructure. Work on the Bing Railway continues. New Manchuria expands north around the French colony by 16,000 sq km this year while Baitudu expands south around the Ethiopian colony by another 8000 sq km. Haida Gwaii also expands by 2000 sq km. Meanwhile in China, several iron mills are created as industry in China continues to expand. The Myanmar request is accepted. After years of economic deals with Badakhstan. China vassalizes Badakhstan.
 * My Alaskan colonies actually cover a lot more ground, Crim. I just updated my Territories page and the map as well to the accurate sizes. With the size of your expansion, you'd only barely reach the colony, let alone surround it. ~Viva
 * The map is inaccurate regarding my colonies. Should have it fixed soon.
 * The Arabian Federation builds up its economy after the railway project sends the Federation into a deep depression which started in 1807. While the few small lines between the major cities remain, there is a lack of money to fund the running of the trains. Sultan Abdul-Hamid is criticized a lot for the railway bubble, and political circles for the re-forming of the Arabian colonial empire: though with no money to fund this expansion and a lack of highly desirable resources in the Federation to build strong trade pacts, the colonial expansion seems to be just an unobtainable dream.
 * EAF: The bureaucracy and federal presence increases in the north. Education, military and economy expand. Diplomats are sent to neighboring countries.
 * The Mayan Empire continues trade with European colonies and the Lakota. New technologies arrive in the southern part of the Empire, mainly large paper mills and cloth factories.

 * After much consideration, Germanica decides to declare war against Great Brython, for several reason. The first is the failure to return Luxembourg into German hands. The second is to free the oppressed Germanic brothers known as the English, who have had their culture and language stripped of them. The third is the failure to respect the Germanic race within their lands. The Dominion of Neu Berlin follows suit to reclaim the lost lands on the Vinlandic continent (Greenland). The Dominion of Neu Prussen also engages in the war to gain the Carribean possessions of this faux empire. The Dominion of Chimu also declares war in order to expand its influence on the Atlantian continent. The railway system helps transport massive troops and supplies to the Dutch front and the powerful navy of Germanica sails to England and makes massive headway in the region, landing on the coast not far from England. Neu Berlin also engages in its first full scale military conflict and unveils the massive military it has built up all this time, sailing to regain its rightful lands. Meanwhile, the Dominions of Mysore and Orientalia supply military aid to the effort. The Kaiser terms this the first step in redemption for the Germanic race and nation as a whole, and millions cheer and call for blood--Welsh blood--to be spilled on the soils of the world. Forces are also sent to Morocco by Georgia to regain what was once stolen from  right under the nose of Gibraltar, now also in foreign control.

The military sees new inventions such as rifles and better cannons produced for the army. Old equipment is either sold or melted down and recycled into new rifles and cannons for the army. Bhutan, Kamapura and Dahod continue to expand their economies as trading with the Maharajya helps create growth. Assam continues to see robust economic growth, surpassing even Orissa in the growth rate. Large roads continue to be built in Assam to help trading and ease movement. Much migration also takes place between Orissa and the vassals. Proper Amharic continues to gain prominence in many people's lives. In the SOC, interest begins to go toward rumours of a hybrid language being planned in Ethiopia. Many merchants express their excitement and would be willing to lend their support in the project. Propaganda continues to spur the citizens to view the Ethiopians akin to Orissans and as cultural "brothers". Growing more pro-Ethiopian attitudes leads to a small but steady stream of merchants and ordinary citizens beginning to travel to Ethiopian colonies. Many head to Ethiopia itself and begin top admire the Ethiopian culture. The Raja continues to compemplate plans for acquiring a new colony somewhere in Africa. Steam boats continue to be built to transport good across rivers and from Maharajya to Dakshin Maharajya (collective name for Mataram and Brunei). Saxena Constructions begins to build bigger steam ships for heavier transportation duties. The military commissions Saxena Constructions to build its prototype warships in large number.

One Legion is dispatched behind each army for peacekeeping efforts as the armies continue to move. King Gopan brings Indentured Servants to search for valuable minerals and set up the Senators Estate and irrigation system - also constructing roads to the new villages and towns.
 * Imperium Africana: continues its invasion of Celtic lands, taking the Brython Isles during the first year of the war as the outnumbered Celtic defenders are overrun by the Ethiopian-led invasion force. The Emperor of the Imperium has come all the way from Africa to oversee the invasion, and lands shortly after the coast is taken from the enemy. The colonies of Bärädä and Mogäs are expanded by 2000 km each, while the colonies of Tumaini and Wädäb are expanded by 1500 km each. Dähnnät is expanded by 1000 km. Numerous Ethiopian intellectuals consult on the idea of searching for geopoliticially viable lands to strengthen the Imperium's position in the world. The government commissions a number of thinkers, politicians and military commanders to come up with a new location for the capital, and authorize the search to even include other territories outside of the empire. The Emperor has stated his desire to set up a secondary capital in the event he should ever have to flee his homeland, so as to avoid the fate of his forefathers during the invasion of the Caliphate two centuries ago. A foreign capital (such as the one OTL Portugal had in Brazil), is deemed a viable asset during wartime. The nations of Scotland. Ireland, and England are established to govern the regions in the Emperor's name so as to deal with these problems for him.
 * Added the 2x colonization rates bonus of the third stage of industrialization.
 * The Hellenic Union continues to build the aforementioned railways, with a line from Athens to Corinth completed, with other lines close to completion. Cement continues to be spread around Anatolia and the Hellenic peninsula, with slow use in government buildings and other buildings of importance, as well as the autocrat's houses. Steel and glass are also used within buildings, specifically in large cities. On Cyprus and Crete, paper mills continue to be develop, as well as cloth factories, and much the same occurs on the colonies, as well as continual building of railway lines. The Hellenic economy is expanded and Nea Lefkosia is expanded by 6000 sq km, and Nea Konstantinoupoli is expanded by 6000 sq km.

It assures the alliance to the Dutch Netherlands and prompts the Carthaginian army to build up defenses along the Mauritanian-Morocco border in Africa. The Byzantine Empire is contacted, and offered an alliance in order to establish more allied friendly nations in the east. The industrialization continues, and the first railway begins to be developed. It's a five-way railway connecting the main capitals of the French League, between Bourdeaux, Paris, Lorraine, Toulouse, and Avignon. The plan is a basic faster connection between the main capital and residence of the French king to its main friendly leaders of the French peoples, the train would be to allow access of trade faster from Aquitaine to central France, and to move troops to the Atlantic coast or eastern France faster, Vassalization of Switzerland begins, some clothing factories begin to appear mainly near Paris, Bourdeaux and Toulouse, most of them are new ones, trying to use new means to increase the amount of cloth per worker the construction of the league railways continues without little progress, however. After much thoughts the trade agreement with Kasodani is accepted.

A legation is sent to Germanica to enquire about the potential trading of Oldenburg (for a colony/part of a colony of equal size).
 * The Germanic Reich will consider this once the war is fully over.
 * Germanica continues to fight in the war. Morocco seems to be falling very quickly, and without Morocco, the Welsh Royal Coast begins to fold under the pressure. Neu Prussen overruns the defenders on the Welsh Antillian Islands with its massive and powerful navy. Neu Berlin and Germanica send more forces toward Wales proper, so as to open the way for other coalition nations to invade the other regions. The navy quickly captures the coastline of Wales and settles in during the winter to restart the war the next year. Oldenburg completely falls this year, and the march toward Amsterdam begins to prepare itself. The war seems to be as good as done, and generals expect three more years of warfare. The government begins to consider a dual-capital system as well, involving Berlin and Amsterdam. Meanwhile, Ludwig and Karl return to Neu Berlin this year, informing the government that there is no single east-west route. However, a new city is under construction near the location of OTL Chicago.

 * Imperium Africana continues with its gains in Great Bython, capturing large cities largely abandoned by the residents who have been told rumours of Ethiopian soldiers killing men, raping women, and eating babies, something the soldiers now attribute to racist beliefs of their people. As a result, many of the civilians have been fleeing pass the mountains of Wales into newly declared German territory, leaving a good portion of England underpopulated with a small but aggressive resistance movement. The Emperor, leading from the front enters into the recently conquered city of Llundain (OTL London), which he renames Ländän, and informs his generals that he will be commanding the war from the city. With most of the former residents having fled or gone into hiding, the Emperor orders the non-combat personnel of the invasion force and their families to settle in the city and take over the positions needed to run the city infrastructure. With the usual tactic of moving to resettle the territory, the Ethiopians are once again moving large numbers of colony ships from the homeland in Africa to the new lands in Europe now that the European residents have been displaced. 50,000 Ethiopian subjects are expected to arrive by the end of next year to replace the workforce Great Brython, and any British inhabitants captured by the Ethiopian military by Imperial decree are sentenced to transportation for life. The Emperor wants Ethiopians to make up 10% of the population by 1850 (some 15 million people reside in the Britain already), meaning round the year transportation from Ethiopia to England is needed. Impressed with the land and the weather, the Emperor makes Ländän his secondary capital when visiting the northern half of the empire. He also reasons that the island is a good geopoliticial position to hold, and deems it worthy of the effort needed to hold it. The colonies of Bärädä and Mogäs are expanded by 2000 km each, while the colonies of Tumaini and Wädäb are expanded by 1500 km each. Dähnnät is expanded by 1000 km. Troops from the homeland arrive to begin crushing the English resistance, while the military, economy and infrastructure are improved for the future years of growth and expansion.
 * Germanica continues to fight bravely in the war. Forces in Wales manage to break the defense of Avalon and enter the city, killing every armed Welshman inside the city borders. The Royal Family is captured and sent to Berlin to stand trial. Civilians are evacuated as Avalon is burned to the ground before their very eyes, and this is a testament to show the will to eradicate the Celtic culture. The "Brythonic" language is outlawed, and once it is discovered via a census that the English language is no longer spoken, German is introduced and becomes a mandatory language in school. The Welsh people begin to be forced into settlements in the north and toward the English border, while English refugees are given power. Avalon begins to be reconstructed in a Germanic-Gothic style. Another census is conducted to determine the population of Wales. Roughly six million people currently reside in Wales. Meanwhile, Neu Berlin and Neu Prussen are able to crush the defenders in Neu Zeeland (Puerto Rico), which is swiftly annexed to Neu Prussen. The war in Antillia is as good as done, and the focus is now on the Netherlands and Africa. The Welsh Royal Coast is defeated this year, thanks to the support of the oppressed locals. In the Netherlands, the defenders are slowly being reduced to a small coastline, while Luxembourg, Dutch Munster and other areas are slowly being captured.

Troops from Mataram swiftly move into Aceh-Pasai and make headway into the territory. The battered Welsh garrison - underarmed and undermanned, are no match for the superior Orissan forces. These forces quickly establish a perimeter and round up the Welsh soldiers. In Atlantia, the Welsh colonies int the south begin to be overrun as they become no match for the superior Orissan and Ethiopian forces. Through all this, troops also land on the Welsh mainland and assist in the attack on the territories, moving through the cold highlands at a slow rate. The colony of Uttarshina expands by 18,000 km (Stage 4), and there are signs of a small gold rush beginning in the mountains of Uttarshina. The Raja is pleasedd with how the war is going so far.

The industrialization continues, and the first railway begins to be developed. It's a five-way railway connecting the main capitals of the French League, between Bourdeaux, Paris, Lorraine, Toulouse, and Avignon. The plan is a basic faster connection between the main capital and residence of the French king to its main friendly leaders of the French peoples, the train would be to allow access of trade faster from Aquitaine to central France, and to move troops to the Atlantic coast or eastern France faster, Vassalization of Switzerland begins, some clothing factories begin to appear mainly near Paris, Bourdeaux and Toulouse.

Florence and a few other cities in central Italia become industrial centres as huge cloth weaving factories spring up to serve the growing demands of an expanding population. The University of Venice continues chemical experimentation. Meanwhile, the University of Milan and the University of Istria continue to lead in the study of human anatomy with near daily dissections much to the displeasure of the local populace. The University of Southern Tyrolia decides to classify a large grouping of small planets that orbit between Mars and Jupiter as the Asteroid Belt as it is decided that they are too small to be proper planets.

With the added investment then the Suez Canal Company will be able to double the speed of the remaining construction. It is suggested that the canal should have one lock in the middle in order to continue to separate the two Seas and to equalize any imbalance between the oceans.
 * The Orissans are happy. They are also looking into a potential land swap.
 * The Maldives and Nya Syria both work on their navies. Many Nya Syriacs are encouraged to return to the Levant where life is a lot easier than in the Caribbean Sea.

In some particularly busy corridors (such as Dresden to Munchen) there are three semaphore lines to eable faster speeds and less buildup of backlog. Bavaria and the Ruhr region of Saxony continue to industrialise, with many thousands leaving work on farms to live in the growing industrial centres. Coal mining also increases to reflect the growing demand. Despite the increasingly cramped living conditions in these industrial areas, smallpox takes very few lives, thanks in no small part to Jener's clinics, which now exist in every major town and city. Empress Charlotte, now aging, begins to delegate some powers and responsibilities to her son, Crown Prince Karl. Cologne, Anhalt and Tanimbarkai expand their militaries. Overseas now: Bavarian Indonesia expands its military greatly due to the brewing conflicts in the region. Saxon Australis expands East along the coast towards the Italian colony. Bavarian Australis expands West along the coast and its economy continues to grow at a sustainable rate thanks to the investment brought by pearling companies.

Middle class families continue rising to prominence in some of the more wealthy provinces, as well as some of the less wealthy provinces. Greater Kaliforno expands 10,300 km and Haven expands 6200 km.
 * Propaganda continues to play a major part in the everyday person's life. Patriotic messages help keep the nations' people going. The railroads continue to be laid by workers. The Bhubaneswar to Lucknow line is completed with huge prompt. The Lucknow to Dehli line is also completed, yet its less grand due to its more outlying nature. Death rates continue declining. Paper mills continue to make great rolls of paper and with cheap paper now being sold on the market. The SOC continues ferrying the settlers into Atlantia. As a result Uttarshina is expanded by 18,000 km. The small gold rush begins to attract many Orissans who arrive in growing numbers. The nation continues its large propaganda campaigns while Hindi continues to grow in strength as the trading language in all of the Maharajyan territories. The military sees new inventions such as rifles and better cannons produced for the army. Old equipment is either sold or melted down and recycled into new rifles and cannons for the army. Bhutan, Kamapura and Dahod continue to expand their economies as trading with the Maharajya helps create growth. Assam continues to see robust economic growth, surpassing even Orissa in the growth rate. Large roads continue to be built in Assam to help trading and ease movement. Much migration also takes place between Orissa and the vassals. Proper Amharic continues to gain prominence in many people's lives. In the SOC, interest continues in the Ethiopian language project. Many merchants express their excitement and would be willing to lend their support in the project. Propaganda continues to spur the citizens to view the Ethiopians akin to Orissans and as cultural "brothers". Growing more pro-Ethiopian attitudes leads to a small but steady stream of merchants and ordinary citizens beginning to travel to Ethiopian colonies. Many head to Ethiopia itself and begin to admire the Ethiopian culture. The Raja continues to compemplate plans for acquiring a new colony somewhere in Africa. Steam boats continue to be built to transport good across rivers and from Maharajya to Dakshin Maharajya (collective name for Mataram and Brunei). Saxena Constructions begins to build bigger steam ships for heavier transportation duties. The military's prototypes are quickly taken for their shakedown cruise and then sent straight to the front line to tkae out the Welsh ships. The newly conquered areas continue to be assimilated into the Maharajya. Extensive schools begin to be built, roads begin construction and new canal plans are announced. The South is to become a heavy investment area. Patagoshina begins to be taken over at a rapid rate as the Welsh are pushed out and many Orissan decendants cheer. With complete control in Welsh territories in Asia, the Kongo is also invaded to be captured in the name of the Raja.
 * Rajputana expands its army and economy heavily, and Naya Punjab grows by 18,000 km. Rajputana sees a large industrial boom of its own. The dual railway line of Amritsar to Lahore finishes construction after a good time being contructed. It is expected to sell tickets soon. The Khmers expand their economy and army, so do Mataram and Brunei. The puppet state of Naya Bihar expands by 15,000 km inland and they build up their army. Naya Bihar sees growth on its coast as cities begin to grow and rival some in the Maharajya itself. Naya Bihar's economy grows. The natives begin to be converted into the ways of hinduism by the arriving colonists and citizens. Butung also builds up its infrastructure. Huge amounts of propaganda is put into play in the newly assimilated territories. Hindi becomes evem more commonly spoken and most people when visiting other cities regularly speak Hindi to other folk. All declare support for the war.
 * Imperium Africana continues its invasion of the Welsh lands, and continues to make gains in the British Isles. Concentration camps are created to intern any Welsh, Scottish or English fighters captured by thr Ethiopian military. These are to be sentenced to transportation, sent to do hard labor in the cold lands of the Ethiopian colonies in Antillia, or to slave away in the mines of Borona. Cities captured by the government are renamed and reorganized into the imperial government structure, and Ethiopians moved to the conquered territory to support the newly vacant government and economic structures in the region. A blockade is set up by the government to capture any potential rebels that could return to fight against the new Ethiopian dominion. With the Emperor in the Ländän, those active rebels captured by the Imperial Guard are deemed guilty of treason and swiftly executed out of sight and under the most secretive of environments so as to prevent anyone from knowing about it. Brittany is swiftly brought under control as troops from neighboring Normandy move quickly to suppress the Welsh combatants in the area. Civilians are granted two days to leave the land if they do not wish to serve the Ethiopian monarch. Those who agree to stay are immediately granted classes to learn Ethiopian culture, language and social norms and taboos. The colonies of Bärädä and Mogäs are expanded by 2000 km each, while the colonies of Tumaini and Wädäb are expanded by 1500 km each. Dähnnät is expanded by 1000 km.

 * Hey Kogasa - Sorry I'm just now posting notifications but could I please get you to delete the above posts and let me drive the Selk'nam and Apostolics this turn. I'm back from vacation and based on the mess from while I was gone I need to drive this year. LOL. Commandante Lemming (talk) 21:34, September 3, 2013 (UTC)
 * ARK: The public school system is improved with a total of five provinces having the basic model set up and two with an updated one and the rest still working on it. Two more legions are trained and the other legions go and improve the hastily created roadways. Books from Europe and Northern Africa are quickly filling the libraries and bookstores prompting the creation of the first publishers office in the Apache lands.
 * Selk'nam Diplomacy: Emissaries are urgently dispatched to attempt to save Selk'nam assets in the former Great Brython. Germanica in particular is asked to release the Apostolic Prime Bishop and the former Brythonic Royal Family into exile in the Great Haruwin of the Selk'nam, inquiries are also made about the great library of Mayan Kappelist writings in the Apostolic Court). King Atticus respects the result of the war, but wishes to save his father, mother and brother from a hard life and begs that they be allowed to take refuge far away in the Antarctic Haruwin, where they will be unable to influence the affairs of Europe. Imperium Africana is asked to intercede with their Germanic allies for the release of the Royal Family as a gesture of continued friendship to the half-Welsh Selk'nam king  (Germanic and  Ethiopian Responses).  
 * ​The Mayan Empire will ensure that its ally Germanica preserves the Mayan Kappelist texts in the Apostolic Court.
 * Germanica releases the Bishop and all texts to the Selk'nam. However, only the females of the Royal Family will be released to the Selk'nam. The King and all of his sons who participated in the war will be tried in a court. (Don't worry, execution is illegal in Germanica.)
 * Nestorianism and Zoroastrianism continue to expand in Iraq. Infrastructure is expanded in both Iraq and Kuwait.
 * Switzerland: We invade Bavaria. Can you make me an algo? Sorry Andrew, just wanted to have FUN.
 * Brah Y U COMMIT SUICIDE.
 * Myanmar: Myanmar Afrika expands by 2100 sq km. Myanmar Oceania expands by 2100 sq km. Myanmar Guinea expands by 2000 sq km. Urbanization continues using the lumber in Northern Myanmar. Industrialization begins to speed up dramatically, due to the rise of personal enterprises and the steam engine. More rifles are built. We continue expanding our navy. We become richer than we were.
 * Bayern: The Prime Minister is furious at the completely unprovoked attack by Switzerland, and orders a massive and unforgiving invasion force to push into Switzerland. The rest of the Suddeutsches Reich also declares support. Artillery begins to shell the Swiss lines as Bavaria makes its advance. The public grow very disconcerted at such an unprovoked attack, fearing attacks from other neighbors, the military undergoes a massive recruitment campaign. In other news, the nation's railways grow as steam power grows ever more advanced, with small rail lines dotting the landscape. Josef Mechlemere, a Jewish artist in Vienna, develops the first camera. He sets up a device in the front of his flat. The photo took eight hours to complete. Germanica is approached with a renewal to the non-aggression pact. France is asked to renew the defense alliance. Overseas, all colonies (Bavarian Indonesia, Bavarian Australis, Bavarian Carthage) all expand to their max amount (15,000-20,000, I think?). Famous local poet, Raul Gressof, creates the Bilblia Germanic: A poet history of the German people, written by poets and novelists from all the Germanies. Another work is created called the Historiae libri -  another poetic work that illustrates in three volumes the comprehensive history of Europe to date.
 * Germanica accepts. Also, we deny any involvement in this recent war. (My way of saying I will not get involved.)
 * Saxony: The Prime Minister, shocked by the unprovoked attack on sister-Kingdom Bavaria urges the Landtag to declare war on the aggressor, which is promptly done. The Imperial Corps of Signals and Communications takes immediate control of the Imperial Semaphore network and the army is called up and a large division put on a train to Munich. The Landwehr (militia) is called up to defend the homeland in case Switzerland's attack is some sort of nefarious scheme by another power. Work continues on the rail line connecting Cologne with Dresden. The colonies expand their usual amounts and directions.
 * China expands its military, economy and infrastructure. Work on the Bing Railway continues. New Manchuria expands north around the French colony by 16,000 sq km this year while Baitudu expands south around the Ethiopian colony by another 8000 sq km. Meanwhile in China, several iron mills are created as industry in China continues to expand. In March, all trade routes with Africa are closed and cargo is inspected. The reason given is 'extreme uncleanliness in Africa'.
 * You have four times expansion now (Stage 4) so I think you can double those colonization rates.
 * No, the maximum expansion is 8000 sq km for country. If one of his colonies was Chinese, I could understand, but both are Manchurian. If he has four times expansion, he has to divide 32,000 sq km among his colonies, and he already uses 26,000.
 * Ah. Got it.
 * They actually fell under Chinese leadership upon Manchuria's vassalization and are Chinese territory. However, the industrialization map labels them as yellow. Perhaps it's either time to update that map or assume colonies are slightly lower tech than their mother nations due to the distance between them.
 * It doesn't matter, as it is beside my point. I'm not talking about industrialization. I'm just saying that you can't double your expansion rates to 52,000 sq km, as the other was suggesting, because the maximum number of expansion with no bonuses is 8000 sq km per country. In fact, most of your expansion numbers were invalid since you started expanding like that (16,000/8000/2000), as you were exceeding your expansion capabilities. Since 1810, this is valid, as your number with bonuses is 32,000, but I was just saying that you can't double your expansion rates, not the way you use them now, as then. You would continue to exceed your own limits. You already are using them close to the limit. Ah, and I ask you: where this Haida Gwaii is expanding to? Because the island is already taken.
 * It's been valid since 1800 actually, which is when I started the 16,000 sq km expansion. The colonies are yellow on the industrialization map. I couldn't do the 4x expansion until 1830. The Haida Gwaii colony thing was an accident. Meant to take it out, but I forgot, LOL .
 * No, even your highest-rated regions on the industrialization map are red. This means that you would have reached stage four in 1810. 1800 would be if your highest-rated regions were crimson, and only Venice has those.
 * Ah, I see.
 * Germanica begins to wrap up the Welsh War when the last defenders in Morocco, the Netherlands, and Wales surrender. More troops are moved into the newly gained territories. It is decided that the Netherlands and its associated territories will all become part of the greater Germanic Empire, as the Netherlands is found to have quite a massive Germanic inheritance. If you see the link under this post, you'll see the Netherlands is home to a massive West Germanic population. Meanwhile, Wales is renamed the Reichskommissariat Walisisch (Welsh Realm Commissariat). English refugees from Ethiopian oppression are given the right to redesign Avalon and it is decided that the new city will look like a miniature Berlin. As such, Wales builds up its military. The Apostolic Church is granted the right to continue its existence in Wales. Morocco is made into the Dominion of Marokko, and local Berbers and Arabs are given control of the region. The Welsh Royal Coast becomes the Crown Colony of Mauritanien and it expands 18,000 sq km inland. New Zeeland and Welsh Antillia are incorporated into Neu Prussen. Neu Berlin elects a new Prime Minister from the Liberal Party this year.

 * France: Nouvelle Bourgogne expands 5000 sq km around the territory of Chimu, while Baie d'Eric (Erik's Bay) expand by 1500 sq km inland and Brasilea expands by 5000 sq km inland underneath the Cypriot colony and Baie d'Notre Dame expands by 8500 sq km Inland, while La Riviere expands by 2000 sq km northward. prompts the Carthaginian army to build up defenses along the Mauritanian-Morocco border in Africa. The Byzantine Empire is contacted, and offered an alliance in order to establish more allied friendly nations in the east. The industrialization continues, and the first railway begins to be developed. It's a five-way railway connecting the main capitals of the French League, between Bourdeaux, Paris, Lorraine, Toulouse, and Avignon. The plan is a basic faster connection between the main capital and residence of the French king to its main friendly leaders of the French peoples, the train would be to allow access of trade faster from Aquitaine to central France, and to move troops to the Atlantic coast or eastern France faster, Vassalization of Switzerland begins, some clothing factories begin to appear mainly near Paris, Bourdeaux and Toulouse. Most of them are new ones, trying to use new means to increase the amount of cloth per worker. The construction of the league railways continues without little progress, however. After much thoughts the trade agreement with Kasodani is accepted.
 * Bavarian D: we ask for a defensive alliance pact.
 * Lorraine: Military is built up. School system grows and the nation builds from the war.
 * Carthage Elissa III's reign proves worthy, the Nestorian church grows back to its power, as the Roman Catholicism lose part of its power on the region, during this events Elissa is crowned as Queen of Africa and Numidia. Military is built up. Elissa begins the process of urban Carthage, with the foundation of several new coastal cities Like Nova Burdigala, Nova Lutetia and Nova Massilia, in the northwestern coast of Carthage, most of this cities using steam powered boats in the coast for the new fishing industries.
 * Leptis: Military is built up and school system continues growing. The expansion starts southward of the empire by 10,000 sq km.
 * Numidia: Military is built up and school system continues growing. The expansion starts southward of the empire by 10,000 sq km.
 * Occitania: Military is built up and school system continues growing and navy expands. Declares war against Persia.

 * Italia seeing the war with Wales is over, withdraws and focuses its strength on training the army. Support is sent to Bavaria against the Swiss. Urbanization continues across Italia at a rapid pace especially in the Western port cities. Venice begins to make a name for itself in tourism for the upper class, education and naval construction in some of the farther islands with the lagoon's sheltered and settled condition proving to be perfect for shipbuilding. Florence and a few other cities in central Italia become industrial centres as huge cloth weaving factories spring up to serve the growing demands of an expanding population. The University of Venice continues chemical experimentation. Meanwhile, the University of Milan and the University of Istria continue to lead in the study of human anatomy with near daily dissections much to the displeasure of the local populace. The University of Southern Tyrolia decides to classify a large grouping of small planets that orbit between Mars and Jupiter as the Asteroid Belt as it is decided that they are too small to be proper planets. Italia and its subject nations continue to experience a declining death rate as a result of greater understanding of how the human body works. Printing presses in the major cities churn out daily newspapers for the people reporting on various news across the Italian dominions. Aymara and Nya Gyptios expand at 10,000 sq km inland while Nuovo Brescia expands by 8500 sq km in Australia and another 8500 sq km in Nuovo Guinea where missionaries desperately attempt to save the souls of the cannibals. Nuovo Venexia and Treviso expand by 8500 sq km. Work to repair the incorrect rail gauges in the North continues. Many factories of different types continue to be set up around Italia.
 * Romania and Padang work on their economies. Siam and Malacca work on their navies. Yugoslavia and Hungary work on their armies.
 * The Levantine Kingdom works on developing its industrial capacity. They expand the New Syria colony by 4500 sq km. The Nile sees the rise of factories similar to those in Florence. The Levantine government continues work on the Suez Canal. At the current rate of work, it is expected that the canal will be completed in 1818.
 * The Maldives and Nya Syria both work on their navies. Many Nya Syriacs are encouraged to return to the Levant where life is a lot easier than in the Caribbean Sea.
 * Propaganda continues to play a major part in the everyday person's life. Patriotic messages help keep the nations' people going. The three major railway lines begin to take small amounts of customers for their train services. Paper mills continue to make great rolls of paper and with cheap paper now being sold on the market. The SOC continues ferrying the settlers into Atlantia. As a result Uttarshina is expanded by 18000 km (Stage 4). The small gold rush begins to attract many Orissans who arrive in growing numbers. The nation continues its large propaganda campaigns while Hindi continues to grow in strength as the trading language in all of the Maharajyan territories. The military begins a large innovation program. Bhutan, Kamapura and Dahod continue to expand their economies as trading with the Maharajya helps create growth. Assam continues to see robust economic growth, and its economy begins become more stable and reliant on itself. Large roads continue to be built in Assam to help trading and ease movement. Much migration also takes place between Orissa and the vassals. Proper Amharic continues to gain prominence in many people's lives. In the SOC, interest continues in the Ethiopian language project. Many merchants express their excitement and would be willing to lend their support in the project. Propaganda continues to spur the citizens to view the Ethiopians akin to Orissans and as cultural "brothers". Growing more pro-Ethiopian attitudes leads to a small but steady stream of merchants and ordinary citizens beginning to travel to Ethiopian colonies. Many head to Ethiopia itself and begin to admire the Ethiopian culture. The Raja continues to compemplate plans for acquiring a new colony somewhere in Africa. Steam boats continue to be built to transport good across rivers and from Maharajya to Dakshin Maharajya (collective name for Mataram and Brunei). Saxena Constructions begins to build bigger steam ships for heavier transportation duties. The military continues to order more prototypes and sends them straight to do shakedown cruises and then to the war front. The newly conquered areas continue to be assimilated into the Maharajya. The South sees a large network of roads being built while canal construction also continues at a good pace. Patagoshina begins to be taken over at a rapid rate as the Welsh are pushed out and many Orissan decendants cheer. The Welsh hold over the Kongo begins to weaken as the Orissan Army makes rapid progress and captures the puppet state.
 * Rajputana expands its army and economy heavily, and Naya Punjab grows by 18,000 km (Stage 4). Rajputana sees a large industrial boom of its own. The dual railway line of Amritsar to Lahore finishes construction after a good time being contructed. It is expected to sell tickets soon. The Khmers expand their economy and army, so do Mataram and Brunei. The puppet state of Naya Bihar expands by 15000 km inland and they build up their army. Naya Bihar sees growth on its coast as cities begin to grow and rival some in the Maharajya itself. Naya Bihar's economy grows. The natives begin to be converted into the ways of hinduism by the arriving colonists and citizens. Butung also builds up its infrastructure. Huge amounts of propaganda is put into play in the newly assimilated territories. Hindi becomes evem more commonly spoken and most people when visiting other cities regularly speak Hindi to other folk. All declare support for the war.
 * The Mayan Empire continues trade with European colonies and the Lakota. New technologies arrive in the southern part of the Empire, mainly large paper mills and cloth factories. Some of these establishments also appear in Mutul and Azteca. Trade through North Maori and New Ceatl continues, allowing for more trade with Asian nations. Infrastructure in Zapotec continues to be updated. The colony of Halakin continues trading with the nations in Atlantia, especially Brandenburg. The Juun family continues improving the national public school system. More universities are established in lower class provinces. Roads in the northern part of the Empire continue to be updated, especially in areas of heavy traffic. Training drills are conducted by the military. The Royal Science Academy continues work on scientific projects. Flax and tobacco are grown. Linen is produced in Mutul and Azteca. Money is invested in regional projects to promote wealth and business. Middle class families continue rising to prominence in some of the more wealthy provinces, as well as some of the less wealthy provinces. Greater Kaliforno expands 10,300 km and Haven expands 6200 km.
 * EAF: Military expands. Economy and bureaucracy expand in the north.
 * Imperium Africana continues to tighten its grip on the British Isles, with an invasion force of 57,000 troops landing off the coast of Ireland. The capital of Dublin is quickly overwhelmed, and the militias sent to counter the Ethiopian invasion swiftly defeated thanks in no small part to their inexperience and inadequate firearms. A famine begins to grip countrysides of the Britain as the Ethiopian government introduces an insect that destroys potato crops in Ireland and kills sheep and goats in Scotland, artificially reducing the populations there. With overpopulation becoming an issue in Ethiopia proper, the conquest of more lands in Europe, and the collapse of the civilian population in fear of Ethiopian oppression and lack of food to support them, the Ethiopian subjects see a great opportunity to replace the British populations in the region, especially with the Imperial government offering money and jobs to any willing to move to Great Britain and Ireland. Suppression of the rebel forces becomes the main objective of the military, now that organized resistance from the Welsh army and navy have collapsed into a ramshackled resistance group. Intelligence reports for traitors of the resistance, offered a sizable sum of money and positions in the new government, betray the position of the Scottish, Irish, and English forces gathering outside of the town of Perth, Scotland. 15,000 troops taken from the garrisons in the south are sent to destroy this last bastion of organized resistance to Ethiopian conquest. The invasion force in Ireland have been similar orders to destroy the resistance groups there with the same voracious energy as in Great Britain. The Ethiopian population becomes more convinced that it is their duty to see it through to the end to bring the British Isles under their control. Many Ethiopians deem the conflict "Righteous War", denoting the country's belief that it is no mistake that the conflict is of the most importance to tightening Ethiopia's position in the European region. The colonies of Bärädä and Mogäs are expanded by 2000 km each, while the colonies of Tumaini and Wädäb are expanded by 1500 km each. Dähnnät is expanded by 1000 km.

 * Great Haruwin of the Selk'nam: Military and economy continue to expand. King Atticus continues to push for the release of his father and brother from Germanic custody and petitions the Ethiopians and Germanics to treat the people of the former Great Brython well. Queen Natalia Nashrat has a daughter who is christened Perpetua Tuch'huelpe'hgichin'Nashrat'i'Selk'nam. The Selknam offer to buy the De Mor Tire Islands (OTL Falklands) from Maharajaya, citing the large number of ethnic Selk'nam on the East Idland and King Atticus' ancestry in the capital city, in exhancge for a half-years produce of the Ona Yagich gold mine (Maharajya response).
 * Apostolic Church: Prime Bishop Lando, sensing his impending death, issues an encyclical declaring that all future Prime Bishops may serve only ten years before a new Prime Bishop is elected - avoiding elderly and ineffective rulers like himself. On April 19, Prime Bishop Lando dies. An election is held, with Brother Patrick, head of the embattled Davidian Order of Wales, wins as a prime candidate. No Selk'nam candidates come forward citing a desire to rotate the leadership. (election on talk page)
 * Chinese spies discover the various atrocities being committed by Imperium Africana after their war with Great Brython. Brythonic immigrants and people of Brythonic descent, while rare in China, are outraged. This rage spreads to many other Europeans in China, who demand action be taken on Imperium Africana. China sees the actions taken by Imperium Africana to be dishonorable. News of the atrocities spreads around the world from Chinese traders, who are instructed to deliver this news.
 * Germanica is one of the first to hear of this oppression of their Germanic brothers known as the English and calls for blood become rampant with Germanica.
 * Myanmar:We declared war on Imperum Africana and we support the Chinese. Our Myanmese colony also gives way for Chinese and German soldiers.
 * Germanica, after much contemplation, decides to attack the Imperiaum Africana, which is accused of becoming a racist one-party police state. The public is whipped into a frenzy and Wales, the Netherlands and Neu Berlin are used as launchpads into Ethiopia. Chimu and Orientalia declare war on Ethiopia possessions near them while Germanica proper attacks the Brythonic mainland and Norman-Breton lands. China is invited to join this war.
 * China, which has been looking for an excuse to attack Ethiopia, uses this as its window of opportunity. War is declared on Imperium Africana and a fleet is sent to blockade Ethiopia and intercept any Ethiopian ships going to and from Ethiopia.
 * Imperium Africana doesn't understand how the Chinese got past the blockade of the island, or how the Orientals made it into tightly held territories, but we categorically deny any suspected atrocities claimed by the Chinese and our former allies the Germans. And the Imperium is not a republic, so we do not possess political parties, for the ignorant Germans. Also, we have granted many Britons positions within the new government.
 * One party can mean the Emperor and his inner circle. The Germanic Reich refuses to recognize this claims and provides evidence of the Anglo-Saxons being oppressed in England.
 * One party does not mean anything. If there is no political party, then by definition, it is not a one-party state. You need a party to have a one-party state. It is simply incorrect to use that term, even if that is what you believe. No evidence can be shown as the people fled under suspicion of oppression. We haven't even proven ourselves capable leaders since they all ran away. Imperium Africana has done nothing to the people that you can prove.
 * The people who fled to the WR (too lazy to write Walisisch blah blah blah) were clearly running from oppression.
 * During many conflicts, refugees flee the land due to either perceived risks to their own lives, to get away from the fighting and avoid perceived persecution. Any fool from any war at any point in history can tell you that. The Ethiopian people fled from the Caliphate but were turned away due to others stating that nothing bad would happen. Our perceived fears became fact. We have no plans to do the same to those that were in our place today.
 * ARK: The economy is improved along with the public school systems. King Gopan is almost killed by an assassin and there is talk around the nation that the Mayan might have tried to knock him down because of his militiarization and his goal of creating a strong Apache nation. Father Eknat enters the city of Ekta once more and confronts Bishop Christopher on the right of the Catholic Church to still exist for it does not look after its flock like it is supposed to. He denounces the celibacy of the priests saying the Holy Bible said nothing of us holy men of the public to remain unmarried and not continue our legecy. In the end Bishop Christopher has no answers for him and admits defeat. Father Eknat proclaims " The Roman Catholic Church died many years ago when it did not look after its flock. The true church of Christ is a new church. I proclaim the creation of the Judeo-Christian Church the true church of Christ.
 * The Mayan Empire ​declares that they had nothing to do with the attempted assassination. They wish for nothing but goodwill and peace with the Apache.
 * Switzerland: We build up the army. The invasion continues at full speed. Is there an algo for it?
 * Yes. You're losing like hell. 
 * Technically, the Swiss can't expand the military while at war with me, and your invasion is crushed. Your scattered forces are trying to save what's left of your cities and your people. Be warned, Bavaria will hold no quarter to the enemy. (Worry not, the death penalty is outlawed in Bayern)
 * France: Nouvelle Bourgogne expands 5000 sq km around the territory of Chimu, while Baie d'Eric (Erik's Bay) expand by 1500 sq km inland and Brasilea expands by 5000 sq km inland underneath the Cypriot colony and Baie d'Notre Dame expands by 8500 sq km Inland, while La Riviere expands by 2000 sq km northward. prompts the Carthaginian army to build up defenses along the Mauritanian-Morocco border in Africa. The Byzantine Empire is contacted, and offered an alliance in order to establish more allied friendly nations in the east.

The construction of the league railways continues without little progress, however. .War declaration occurs. Ethiopia's holdings in Gaul are invaded, Brittany and Normandy face the new Onslaught, but as the French forces cross the farming fields of both nations entering as victorious releasers of the African invaders and offering to finally give the peace they previously had.
 * Lorraine: Military is built up. School system grows and the nation builds from the war.
 * Carthage Elissa III's reign proves worthy, the Nestorian church grows back to its power, as the Roman Catholicism lose part of its power on the region, during this events Elissa is crowned as Queen of Africa and Numidia. Military is built up. Elissa begins the process of urban Carthage, with the foundation of several new coastal cities Like Nova Burdigala, Nova Lutetia and Nova Massilia, in the northwestern coast of Carthage, most of this cities using steam powered boats in the coast for the new fishing industries. Declares war against Ethiopia.

 * Angouleme: Military and navy are built up. Declares war against Ethiopia.
 * Imperium Africana annouces that the Chinese and the Germans have exaggerated their claims against the empire, and that it shall defend its territories to the death. Men volunteer to defend the empire as posters demanding their support appear across the Imperium. The war is considered a life and death struggle as the barbarians from across the seas attempt to occupy Ethiopia once again. The visions of what happened in the 1500s under the Caliphate, and the wanton slaughter of Ethiopians and the destruction of the nation as a unit run through the minds of many. Ethiopians recall the Emperor's statements that the empire was a means to end, to prepare the nation for future invasion, and to prevent a repeat of the past. With the invasion fo the Arabians in the 1720s still fresh in the minds of the children of the veterans of that war, now grandparents and great grandparents, and they encourage their families to defend the empire with all they have, and state they will be joining them if it means expending the little youth they have left living up to defend the nation their own parents died to defend. The dominions of Kenya, Borona and Eritrea annouce that they were fight and die alongside the empire. Borona being the most at rest of being annexed by the Chinese and far from Ethiopian lands, views the war as one of survival, and Kenya believes that only the heartland with be left standing if it does not join to protect its brothers and sisters. The colonies of Bärädä and Mogäs are expanded by 2000 km each, while the colonies of Tumaini and Wädäb are expanded by 1500 km each. Dähnnät is expanded by 1000 km.
 * Italia is shocked at the actions of the Ethiopia military government in Britain and follows the honorable action of declaring limited support for the English, Irish and Scottish peoples. Aid is sent to attempt to relieve the famine but after an aid convoy is reportedly sunk by an Ethiopian flaged vessal. Italia decrees that they will send regiments to supplement the German forces and ships to blockade Ethiopian moves. Meanwhile in the universities of Italia, a political movement call liberalism begins. It threatens to destabilize the foundations of the class structure with the ideology that all men are equal. However, that is soon revised following the news of Ethiopian acts of genocide to only peoples of Atlantian or Eurasian decent being equal. North Africa is classified as being settled by European peoples. Urbanization continues across Italia at a rapid pace especially in the Western port cities. Venice begins to make a name for itself in tourism for the upper class, education and naval construction in some of the farther islands with the lagoon's sheltered and settled condition proving to be perfect for shipbuilding. Florence and a few other cities in central Italia become industrial centres as huge cloth weaving factories spring up to serve the growing demands of an expanding population. The University of Venice continues chemical experimentation. Meanwhile, the University of Milan and the University of Istria continue to lead in the study of human anatomy with near daily dissections much to the displeasure of the local populace. The University of Southern Tyrolia decides to classify a large grouping of small planets that orbit between Mars and Jupiter as the Asteroid Belt as it is decided that they are too small to be proper planets. Italia and its subject nations continue to experience a declining death rate as a result of greater understanding of how the human body works. Printing presses in the major cities churn out daily newspapers for the people reporting on various news across the Italian dominions. Aymara and Nya Gyptios expand at 10,000 sq km inland while Nuovo Brescia expands by 8500 sq km in Australia and another 8500 sq km in Nuovo Guinea where missionaries desperately attempt to save the souls of the cannibals. Nuovo Venexia and Treviso expand by 8500 sq km. Work to repair the incorrect rail gauges in the North continues. Many factories of different types continue to be set up around Italia.
 * Imperium Africana wishes the Italians to think before they act. The intelligence comes from an empire half a world away, and the information they took could be, no is indeed incorrect. Why would the Chinese be interested in what is happening in Ethiopian lands? And there is no military government in the British Isles, just the royal one we set up with British residents. You attacking without proper evidence.
 * Germanica thanks the Italians and a member of the Reichstag says that "All it takes for evil to succeed is for a few good men to do nothing."
 * Imperium Africana states that "All it takes for the stupid to succede is for the wise to stop thinking." We are dismayed by your choice, and hope for better relations in the future.
 * Romania and Padang work on their economies. Siam and Malacca work on their navies. Yugoslavia and Hungary work on their armies.
 * The Levantine Kingdom works on developing its industrial capacity. They expand the New Syria colony by 4500 sq km. The Nile sees the rise of factories similar to those in Florence. The Levantine government continues work on the Suez Canal. At the current rate of work, it is expected that the canal will be completed in 1818.
 * The Maldives and Nya Syria both work on their navies. Many Nya Syriacs are encouraged to return to the Levant where life is a lot easier than in the Caribbean Sea.
 * Myanmar: Myanmar Afrika expands by 2100 sq km. Myanmar Oceania expands by 2100 sq km. Myanmar Guinea expands by 2000 sq km. Urbanization continues using the lumber in Northern Myanmar. Industrialization begins to speed up dramatically, due to the rise of personal enterprises and the steam engine. More rifles are built. We continue expanding our navy. We become really rich from selling silk, we are bored and the nation need an excuse to invade some country to make it as exiting as it was in the Koori War. Hence, we declared war on Imperum Africana as a gesture to support our ally China. We send 100,000 soldiers there. Our population reached five million.
 * Saxony: Soldiers continue to fight the evil Swiss, and the government and people are reassured by Germanica's assurances. With the war in the Netherlands (presumably) over, Germanica is again asked about trading Oldenburg. A portion of the Australis Regiment is sent to help the parts of Tanimbarkai which were affected by the volcano/tsunami (if any). They're mainly there to maintain order, but they also assist the locals in rebuilding. In the light of the massive wars going on in Europe and the world, the military is greatly expanded (as is Anhalt's and Cologne's). Royal regiments are sent to each of the colonies to help the local regiments protect theie respective colonies. Saxon Australis expands 1000 sq km East towards the Italian colony. Saxon West Africa expands inland along the northern border 1000 sq km, and the Guinea Schutzgebiet expands West 100 sq km along the coast.
 * Germanica will negotiate a trade for the land once this recent war is over.
 * Bayern: The Kingdom continues to push forces into Switzerland, devastating enemy forces there. it is hoped to have locked up a nice win for Bavaria in the near future. Hearing of the horrors committed by Africa, the country grows worried, however the Reichstag still declares neutrality in the conflict. Overseas, Bavarian Australis expands 10,000 sq km west. Bavarian Indonesia declares martial law and state of emergency as the heavy ash plumes hit Borneo. The Bavarian 5th Fleet is dispatched to aid the colonies threatened by the volcanic ash clouds. In Bavaria, the economy is booming, the new steam engines, coupled with the massively successful war on the Swiss, is leading to a rapily growing economy. Cities like Stuttgart, Munchen and Vienna see large rises in population, with the population of Munchen rising to just under 1.3 million inhabitants (based on old British Empire figures for London in OTL). The Office of Judical Affairs offers world leaders to convene a trial in Nuremberg, a neutral city, to discuss and sentence war crime members of the Imperium if found guilty.  (Like the Nuremberg trials - only sooner). Finally, the Bavarian Royal Forces (Army) expands this year due to the political unrest in the world. Chancellor Goring thanks Germanica for their co-operation in the renewal of the non-aggression pact and hopes that a continued peace can be maintained.
 * Imperium Africana shall attend this meeting if it will bring an honorable end to the conflict. Until then, we shall fight only to defend our lands during any potential breach of ceasefire if the invaders agree to it.
 * The government of Germanica will attend once this war is over and will turn over the evil Ethiopians to be tried.
 * The Mayan Empire continues trade with European colonies and the Lakota. The Empire, dismayed at the oppresion of the people of the former Great Brython, enters the war against Ethiopia, in hopes that the Scottish, Irish, Welsh, and English people will be freed from other nations control (Ethiopian and Germanican alike) at the conclusion of the war. New technologies arrive in the southern part of the Empire, mainly large paper mills and cloth factories. Some of these establishments also appear in Mutul and Azteca. Trade through North Maori and New Ceatl continues, allowing for more trade with Asian nations. Infrastructure in Zapotec continues to be updated. The colony of Halakin continues trading with the nations in Atlantia, especially Brandenburg. The Juun family continues improving the national public school system. More universities are established in lower class provinces. Roads in the northern part of the Empire continue to be updated, especially in areas of heavy traffic. Training drills are conducted by the military. The Royal Science Academy continues work on scientific projects. Flax and tobacco are grown. Linen is produced in Mutul and Azteca. Money is invested in regional projects to promote wealth and business. Middle class families continue rising to prominence in some of the more wealthy provinces, as well as some of the less wealthy provinces. Greater Kaliforno expands 10,300 km and Haven expands 6200 km.
 * The English people ARE Germanic, so yeah.
 * We'll decide about other stuff like this later. 
 * Propaganda continues to play a major part in the everyday person's life. Patriotic messages help keep the nations' people going. The three major railway lines begin to take small amounts of customers for their train services. Paper mills continue to make great rolls of paper and with cheap paper now being sold on the market. The SOC continues ferrying the settlers into Atlantia. As a result Uttarshina is expanded by 1000 km (Stage 4). The small gold rush begins to grow and the news spreads through ports. The nation continues its large propaganda campaigns while Hindi continues to grow in strength as the trading language in all of the Maharajyan territories. The military begins a large innovation program. Bhutan, Kamapura and Dahod continue to expand their economies as trading with the Maharajya helps create growth. Assam continues to see robust economic growth, and its economy begins become more stable and reliant on itself. Large roads continue to be built in Assam to help trading and ease movement. Much migration also takes place between Orissa and the vassals. Proper Amharic continues to gain prominence in many people's lives. In the SOC, there is a huge cry to help out the Ethiopians from the position they are in. Propaganda continues to spur the citizens to view the Ethiopians akin to Orissans and as cultural "brothers". The Raja continues to compemplate plans for acquiring a new colony somewhere in Africa. Steam boats continue to be built to transport good across rivers and from Maharajya to Dakshin Maharajya (collective name for Mataram and Brunei). Saxena Constructions begins to build bigger steam ships for heavier transportation duties. The military continues to order more prototypes. All prototypes are recalled and retro-fitted. This also enables them to be better prepared for the seas. The engines are replaced with a stronger model to make them better. The newly conquered areas continue to be assimilated into the Maharajya. The South sees a large network of roads being built while canal construction also continues at a good pace. Patagoshina is completely conquered and this allows for the nation to begin to send its own citizens to colonise the lands once more. The north, being strongly Orissan influenced welcomes the Maharajya, yet the south is distrustful. However, Patagoshina is expanded by 17,000 km and cuts off the Japanese state from expanding.
 * Rajputana expands its army and economy heavily, and Naya Punjab grows by 18,000 km (Stage 4). Rajputana sees a large industrial boom of its own. The dual railway line of Amritsar to Lahore also begins to see its first few customers. The Khmers expand their economy and army, so do Mataram and Brunei. The puppet state of Naya Bihar expands by 15000 km inland and they build up their army. Naya Bihar sees growth on its coast as cities begin to grow and rival some in the Maharajya itself. Naya Bihar's economy grows. The natives begin to be converted into the ways of hinduism by the arriving colonists and citizens. Butung also builds up its infrastructure. Hindi becomes even more commonly spoken and most people when visiting other cities regularly speak Hindi to other folk. Kongo is also captured and is expanded by 15,000 km as many flee from the arriving Orissan administrators due to the false propoganda spread by the Welsh.
 * Russia: works on its military. Industrial production is amped up, and more funds are given to scientists. The death rate is rapidly decreasing as a result of better understanding of anatomy. Russia grudgingly continues its stance on Scandinavia. Socialism grows. The Census is completed. Russian population: 50 million. Russian railroads begin to be used more and more by the wealthy. The government waits to see their effectiveness before beginning construction on other lines. Many proposals pop up for the "Second Railway", one of them from Riga to Novgorod, and another from Minsk to Kazan via Moscow.  The Norwegian Dependancy becomes the Norwegian State, becoming henceforth a Russian vassal. The Tatar State is annexed into Russia after the death of their leader and becomes the province of Tatarstan.
 * Minsk: works on its economy. Industry builds up at an exponential rate. More textile factories emerge all around the nation, as the resource of the twin-piston steam engine is being used exquisitely well. The Wealthy begin using railways to ferry resources and personnel between the four largest cities in Russia. The Census is completed. Minskite population: 20 million.
 * Ukraine: works on its military to improve defence as it is now tasked with partrolling its borders. The first railway is used primarily to ferry resources by the wealthy. The Census is completed. Ukrainian population: 25 million
 * The Grand Principality of Suur-Suomi: works on its military. Orthodoxy becomes a major religion in major cities such as Helsinki and Taalinn. Finnish population: 1.5 million.
 * The Federated Duchy of the Caucasus: works on its economic ties, and tries to stay open to trade competition. The Census is expected to take one-to-two years to fully complete, as determined by the newly-created Bureau of Vital Statistics. Duchy population: 8 million
 * Riga: works on its economy. The Census is expected to take one-to-two years to fully complete, as determined by the newly-created Bureau of Vital Statistics. Rigan population: 0.5 million.
 * The United Kingdoms of Antillia: officially create the position of Vozhd-Namestnik for their head of state (representative of Russian tsar). They work on the military aspects of their existance. The UKA asks to purchase the Portuguese colony in Antillia on behalf of the UKA.
 * Saami Autonomous Oblast: population reaches 100,000. expand into Kola.
 * The Norwegian State works on its economy
 * The Norwegian State works on its economy

1816
''' Severe summer climate abnormalities, partly caused by the eruption of the Tambora in 1815, result in major food shortages across the Northern Hemisphere. Food riots break out in France and the former Great Brython, and grain warehouses are looted. In Switzerland, riots also happen, partly due to the famine, and partly due to the unpopularity of the Swiss war against Bavaria. A typhus epidemic also happens in Ireland, precipitated by the famine. '''

''' The Teke kingdom expands. '''


 * Portugal, León, Aragon, Castille, Navarra and Granada's economies improve and industrialization continues, and in Castille, the canal's construction continues. Meanwhile in Leon, Alfonso XVII dies, and is succeeded by his son Alfonso, who is crowned as "By the Grace of God, Alfonso XVIII, King of León, Córdoba, Sevilla and Asturias, Duke of Cádiz, Galisteo, Cea and Alba de Tormes, Marchess of Coria, Castrofuerte, Valdefuentes and Villamanrique, and Count of Coca and Palma del Río".

The Buddhists and Taoists are a bit annoyed about Patagoshina blocking Byakuren off from expanding, but the Shintoist minority isn't bothered. President Mononobe Nobutsuna hearing about this, begins to calm down the Byakurenites.
 * Russia: works on its military. Industrial production is amped up, and more funds are given to scientists. The death rate is rapidly decreasing as a result of better understanding of anatomy. Russia grudgingly continues its stance on Scandinavia. Socialism grows. Russian railroads begin to be used more and more by the wealthy. The government waits to see their effectiveness before beginning construction on other lines. Many proposals pop up for the "Second Railway", one of them from Riga to Novgorod, and another from Minsk to Kazan via Moscow.  due to the success of the First Railway, plans for the Second railway are planned to be approved by next year. A wealthy Russian Citizen, Pavel Kerensky, while wanting to hunt birds, was annoye by all the smoke made by primers and flintlock mechanisms. So he invents the percussion cap. The Russian government is quick to cash in on it, and grants him a promise of 50% of the profits of the initial government contract to the first weaponsmith who can make a working rifle with the percussion cap design.
 * Minsk: works on its economy. Industry builds up at an exponential rate. More textile factories emerge all around the nation, as the resource of the twin-piston steam engine is being used exquisitely well. The Wealthy begin using railways to ferry resources and personnel between the four largest cities in Russia.
 * Ukraine: works on its military to improve defence as it is now tasked with partrolling its borders. The first railway is used primarily to ferry resources by the wealthy. The Census is completed. Ukrainian population: 25 million
 * The Grand Principality of Suur-Suomi works on its military. Orthodoxy becomes a major religion in major cities such as Helsinki and Taalinn.
 * The Federated Duchy of the Caucasus works on its economic ties, and tries to stay open to trade competition.
 * Riga works on its economy. A rigan chemist, Benedete Ozolins, accidentally spills nitrogen and uses a cotton apron to dry it up. When he put it over the fireplace to dry out, it spontaneously combusted with no smoke. Thus, by accident, he got the idea for smokeless gunpowder.
 * The United Kingdoms of Antillia: officially create the position of Vozhd-Namestnik for their head of state (representative of Russian tsar). They work on the military aspects of their existance. The UKA asks to purchase the Portuguese colony in Antillia on behalf of the UKA.
 * Saami Autonomous Oblast population reaches 100,000. expand into Kola.
 * The Norwegian State works on its economy
 * Bayern: The Kingdom continues to push forces into Switzerland, devastating enemy forces there. it is hoped to have locked up a nice win for Bavaria in the near future. Overseas, Bavarian Australis expands 10,000 sq km west. Bavarian Indonesia declares martial law and state of emergency as the heavy ash plumes hit Borneo. The Bavarian 5th Fleet is dispatched to aid the colonies threatened by the volcanic ash clouds. In Bavaria, the economy is booming, the new steam engines, coupled with the massively successful war on the Swiss, is leading to a rapily growing economy. Cities like Stuttgart, Munchen and Vienna see large rises in population, with the population of Munchen rising to just under 1.3 million inhabitants (based on old British Empire figures for London in OTL). The Nuremburg War Crimes Trial's date is set for after the war, there the Imperium will be tried by a neutral panel of judges from the Suddeutsches Reich, and Russia(if they accept) It will be determined whether the ethiopians violated human rights, and if so, carry out judgment on those found guilty.(the death penalty is outlawed, so the max sentence would be a life sentence to Die Festung, a massive fortress off the Carthagian coast, or a maximum security gulag in Russia. Finally, the Bavarian Royal Forces (Army) expands this year due to the political unrest in the world. The war with Switzerland is expected to end soon. In a show of humaitarian relief, food supplies are shipped to France and Bavarian controlled parts of Switzerland. The Vienna-Munchen line officially breaks ground. Smaller lines are planned, but not for some time. Coal extraction occurs at a faster rate to meet demand. In Australis, a new compnay called the Vanhaussen Gruppe incorperates the first large scale jewelry company in the world. Offices open throughout Australis and in the Reich proper, with offices in Munchen and Dresden.
 * Swiss Fools: We withdraw from Barvaria. We merge with Tyrol.
 * You can't do that.
 * Wars can only be retconned if all players involved agree to do so.(http://althistory.wikia.com/wiki/Rules_(Principia_Moderni_II_Map_Game)#War) It clearly states you cannot withdraw, because I will not let you, and Tyrol Is Bavarian and French. No-one in this entire game disputes this but you.
 * Germanica continues the war, which is going very well. Food is shipped from the Netherlands and Germanica proper into Wales and to the front line. Prospective Celtic and Germanic immigrants are invited to escape to Wales, where there is food coming in from abroad. Neu Berlin continues to make gains in the Ethiopian colony bordering it, and Chimu continues to attack the Ethiopian colony in Atlantia. The Dominions continue to send military aid and the WR is able to continue making gains in England. Germanica agrees to attend the Nuremberg Trials once the war is over. Railways are of great use in this war as well as semaphore towers.
 * Nestorianism continues to expand in Iraq and Kuwait. Infastructure improvements are begun in Iraq and Kuwait.
 * Imperium Africana continues to marshal forces for the empire to fight back the invasion, and calls upon all members of society to save their brothers and sisters overseas and for those in Britain, to defeat the tyrants raiding the shores. The Emperor makes it past the blockades of his territories, and back to the safety of Addis Ababa deep within the Ethiopian Highlands. Convinced of his victory over the forces arrayed against him, he celebrates the coming victory with his court, and sends a bottle of wine straight from the vineyards of Normandy to the Maharaja of Orissa. The empire continues to defend its territories, and publishes the efforts of Ethiopian sailors doing their best to get food to the starving people of the British Isles. In Ireland, one of the worst hit by the famine, Ethiopians deliever huge stocks of grain to the Irish people, parcelling out all that they have for the inhabitants. A number of Irish are impressed with the self-sacrificing efforts of the Ethiopian people, and have acknowledged their support for the government, which they had originally thought would have been oppressive and genocidal. Pesticides are brought in to kill of the potato killing pests, and the Ethiopians apologize for accidentally bringing the pest to the British Isles on their ships. They re-imburse the English merchants for crops lost, and do so in double for any people effected by the famine. Ethiopians donate generously to help the British people. When requested as to why their conquerors are being so kind, many Ethiopians send letters expressing the fact that they are Ethiopians, tooand that they are thus their brothers and sisters across the sea. While the majority of British citizens still resist Ethiopian control, a growing movement of sympathizers is growing on the isles, and a number enlist in the military, seeing a way to gain power within the new government. Rebels across the isles are given a chance to lay down their arms and receive immediate pardon. Those captured by Ethiopian troops are given a choice to lay down their arms and return to their homes, or risk a ten year prison sentence. A large portion of the rebel force considers the deal and accepts it, while others flat out refuse and attempt to escape into the mountains in Wales. The colonies of Bärädä and Mogäs are expanded by 2000 km each, while the colonies of Tumaini and Wädäb are expanded by 1500 km each. Dähnnät is expanded by 1000 km.

The Implausible Occurs, the War with ethiopia,The Food shortages and the though enviroment have done the inthinkable, the Monarchy is abolished after the Senate and Assembly of France refer to the Monarchy, Coming Directly from the Valois Burgundian family is  Deposed,the Last King Charles XIII Is imprisoned in Dijon Quoting for the lack of action against the important threats from the empire, the Assembly after much deliberation and thought Organizes into a Federation of Kingdoms, In which the King of France (or Consul of France as the monarchy has been abolished and the king is  Chosen by the Senate) would be an important member of the original Royal family from Southern France (Valois Burgundy-Bourboun) Jean Louis François de nimes Crown Jean Louis I of Gaul (the federation of kingdoms or the title of the new French League). Soon he declares the new monarchy outside of the war and declaring the dissolution of any alliance made by the previous king, directly for means of a war (against Wales, Germany or others), It as well continues the construction of the infrastructure within the country, and school system reformation led by his advisors - especially on German influenced regions - withdraws the troops from Normandy and Britanny.
 * That's against the rules. Both sides have to agree on a retcon.
 * It's not against the rules. The rules state that the player and can withdraw from the war. "L for leader (+4), M for military aid (+3), S for supplies (+2), V for vassalization or subordination (-1) and then W for withdrawal (-1)." He withdrew, so now that means your side gets withdrawal points. Can't argue with the rules man. ~Viva
 * Imperium Africana is moved by the plight of the French people. Given that the nations of Brittany and Normandy are still producing more food than they can consume, the Emperor and the Ethiopian people have been convinced that the French can better utilize the land than the Ethiopians can. And with the current war underway, we feel it prudent to focus on the islands of Britain rather than the mainland. We shall begin moving our subjects from the continent, and transfer the lands to you. We wish you and the French nation good health.
 * France D: Thanks to the impresive action of the Africans towards the new French government shocks the Senate of Paris and Burdeaux, the entrance of Normandy and Brittanny into the French Confederation is made immediate and they are to be re-organized into republics (Britanny) while the Normand royal family will return to their territory to rule once again.
 * The same rules you would like to quote oh so much say that both sides have to agree to a retcon, the same rules YOU inforced in the Koori War.
 * I'm quitting because I want to invade another nation later and this war is not going to end soon enough for me too make the damage I want to make. Soo... Sine dei gloriem (talk) 02:56, September 6, 2013 (UTC)
 * I stated that you could not retcon the war. I said nothing about you withdrawing from the war. Withdrawing and retconning are two completely different things if you have forgetten. ~Viva
 * Riiiiiiight. You keep your head in the clouds like you always do.
 * Yeah. it's so depressing below them. Besides, I wasn't the only one who wanted the war to continue. You can't blame me for supporting that side of the group. ~Viva

 * The Hellenic Union continues to build the aforementioned railways, with a line from Athens to Corinth completed, with other lines close to completion. Cement continues to be spread around Anatolia and the Hellenic peninsula, with slow use in government buildings and other buildings of importance, as well as the autocrat's houses. Steel and glass are also used within buildings, specifically in large cities. On Cyprus and Crete, paper mills continue to be develop, as well as cloth factories, and much the same occurs on the colonies, as well as continual building of railway lines.

Urbanization continues across Italia at a rapid pace especially in the Western port cities. Venice begins to make a name for itself in tourism for the upper class, education and naval construction in some of the farther islands with the lagoon's sheltered and settled condition proving to be perfect for shipbuilding. Florence and a few other cities in central Italia become industrial centres as huge cloth weaving factories spring up to serve the growing demands of an expanding population. The University of Venice continues chemical experimentation. Meanwhile, the University of Milan and the University of Istria continue to lead in the study of human anatomy with near daily dissections much to the displeasure of the local populace. The University of Southern Tyrolia decides to classify a large grouping of small planets that orbit between Mars and Jupiter as the Asteroid Belt as it is decided that they are too small to be proper planets. Italia and its subject nations continue to experience a declining death rate as a result of greater understanding of how the human body works.

 * Persia: begins to prepare a change in goverment.
 * Apostolic Church: Brother Patrick of Wales is enthroned as the new Prime Bishop (control shifts to Germanic/Welsh player for ten years, but I would remind the new Prime Bishop that he controls only the central hierarchy, while local bishops and religious orders remain under local control).
 * Great Haruwin of the Selk'nam: Military and economy expand under the stewardship of Prime Minister Pantaleon. King Atticus warns the Apostolic Church to respect all sides in the ongoing war annd threatens action if the new Prime Bishop does not maintain neutrality. The King expressses deep concern at the state of the Old World and wonders in a speech about whether New World nations such as the Selk'nam and Maya will one day be forced to invade and pacify their European brothers as they enter a new dark age. (Seriously people, can we give it a rest for a few years? Some of us are trying to play a game about history and you're taking all the fun out of it. Can we just STOP?)
 * Selknam Diplomacy: The offer to buy the De Mor Tire Islands (OTL Falklands) is re-iterated to United Maharajya. (Maharajya response).
 * Sorry. The Maharajya accepts but would like a lot of money in exchange.
 * The Mayan Empire continues trade with European colonies and the Lakota. The Empire continues the war against Ethiopia. The Empire notes the irony that Ethiopia released a pest to destroy crops in Great Brython to cause famine and misery to the people, but is now claiming that it was an 'accident'. New technologies arrive in the southern part of the Empire, mainly large paper mills and cloth factories. Some of these establishments also appear in Mutul and Azteca. Trade through North Maori and New Ceatl continues, allowing for more trade with Asian nations. Infrastructure in Zapotec continues to be updated.

Greater Kaliforno expands 10,300 km and Haven expands 6200 km.
 * Propaganda continues to play a major part in the everyday person's life. Patriotic messages help keep the nations' people going. The three major railway lines begin to take small amounts of customers for their train services. Paper mills continue to make great rolls of paper and with cheap paper now being sold on the market. The SOC continues ferrying the settlers into Atlantia. As a result Uttarshina is expanded by 2000 km (Stage 4). The small gold rush begins to grow and the news spreads through ports. The nation continues its large propaganda campaigns while Hindi continues to grow in strength as the trading language in all of the Maharajyan territories. The military begins a large innovation program. Bhutan, Kamapura and Dahod continue to expand their economies as trading with the Maharajya helps create growth.

In the SOC, there is a huge cry to help out the Ethiopians from the position they are in. Propaganda continues to spur the citizens to view the Ethiopians akin to Orissans and as cultural "brothers". The Raja continues to compemplate plans for acquiring a new colony somewhere in Africa. Steam boats continue to be built to transport good across rivers and from Maharajya to Dakshin Maharajya (collective name for Mataram and Brunei). Saxena Constructions begins to build bigger steam ships for heavier transportation duties. The military continues to order more prototypes. All prototypes are recalled and retro-fitted. This also enables them to be better prepared for the seas. The engines are replaced with a stronger model to make them better. The newly conquered areas continue to be assimilated into the Maharajya. The South sees a large network of roads being built while canal construction also continues at a good pace. Patagoshina is expanded by 30,000 km and cuts off the Japanese state from expanding (yeah folks, 200 years finally). The Raja sees that Ethiopia has won their war and sends them congratulations. The nation also begins to secretly fund the Nestorian missionaries in Iraq.
 * Rajputana expands its army and economy heavily, and Naya Punjab grows by 32,000 km (Stage 4, 200 years). Rajputana sees a large industrial boom of its own. The dual railway line of Amritsar to Lahore also begins to see its first few customers. The Khmers expand their economy and army, so do Mataram and Brunei. The puppet state of Naya Bihar expands by 15000 km inland and they build up their army. Naya Bihar sees growth on its coast as cities begin to grow and rival some in the Maharajya itself. Naya Bihar's economy grows. The natives begin to be converted into the ways of Hinduism by the arriving colonists and citizens. Butung also builds up its infrastructure. Hindi becomes evem more commonly spoken and most people when visiting other cities regularly speak Hindi to other folk. Kongo is also captured and is expanded by 15,000 km as many flee from the arriving Orissan administrators due to the false propoganda spread by the Welsh.

 * In Tōkaidō, Governor-General Mononobe Tsuneyuki has the colony declare independence on the fourteenth day in the third month as the Republic of Himekaidou. He soon is elected President of the new nation.
 * Nestorianism continues to expand in Iraq and Kuwait. Infastructure improvements are begun in Iraq and Kuwait.
 * The WR closes its borders to England in fear of the typhus spreading. The WR proposes a ceasefire until the typhus is worn out (giving us time to solve the algorithm). Other regions continue fighting the war. The sale of Oldenburg is indefinitely postponed by the Reichstag. Meanwhile Neu Berlin continues to make great gains.
 * The Hellenic Union continues to build the aforementioned railways, with a line from Athens to Corinth completed, with other lines close to completion. Cement continues to be spread around Anatolia and the Hellenic peninsula, with slow use in government buildings and other buildings of importance, as well as the autocrat's houses. Steel and glass are also used within buildings, specifically in large cities. On Cyprus and Crete, paper mills continue to be develop, as well as cloth factories, and much the same occurs on the colonies, as well as continual building of railway lines. The Hellenic economy is expanded and Nea Lefkosia is expanded by 12,000 sq km, and Nea Konstantinoupoli is expanded by 12,000 sq km.
 * Cyrenaica: continues to implement fertiliser and hospitals, and expands southwards by 20,000 sq km.
 * Suddeutsches Reich: Imperial and Royal elections are held and a conservative government ousts the progressives from the Imperial government. The conservative policy platform is based on maintaining an armed neutrality and internal growth. Germanica is thanked for its speedy response to the Oldenburg issue. The really quite small detatchment of Bavarian and Saxon soldiers continue to thrash the Swiss fools (mods, when will Switzerland fall?). The rest of the militaries expand (Bavarian, Saxon, Cologner and Anhaltese), and Saxony's Landwehr is de-mobilized. Bavarian scientists invent a new method of wool refinement which is set to boost the ailing Suddeutsche wool industry. Tanimbarkai massively expands its military, and Bavarian Indonesia expands industrially. Saxon Australis expands 1000 sq km East, and Bavarian Australis expands the maximum area West.

We become really rich from selling silk. Our soldiers begin pulling out of Ethiopia.
 * ARK: The economy is improved and public school systems are created in 60% of the country. The attempted assaination of King Gopan has been linked to the same Senetors who blamed the attempt on the Mayans. King Gopan is furious and has the Senetors brutally beaten in public, given 20 lashes than hanged by their feet for a week before the survivors are taken down and imprisoned for life. The new church established by Eknath is slow to convert people because of how strict the rules are but still is becoming very popular. The converts form isloted communities all across the country. The Roman Catholic Church in Apache lands makes reforms without consulting the Pope and make changes as they see fit. Allowing priests to marry because the Holy Bible doesn't say that they can't, create a new order like OTL Jesuits called the Order of Paul to establish missions and religious learning all across the country and maybe expand farther. Is Novgorod the one who owns the colony to my east?
 * The Mayan Empire continues trade with European colonies and the Lakota. The Empire continues the war against Ethiopia, and seems to be making relatively good progress. New technologies arrive in the southern part of the Empire, mainly large paper mills and cloth factories. Some of these establishments also appear in Mutul and Azteca. Trade through North Maori and New Ceatl continues, allowing for more trade with Asian nations. Infrastructure in Zapotec continues to be updated. The colony of Halakin continues trading with the nations in Atlantia, especially Brandenburg. The Juun family continues improving the national public school system.

Training drills are conducted by the military. The Royal Science Academy continues work on scientific projects. Flax and tobacco are grown. Linen is produced in Mutul and Azteca. Money is invested in regional projects to promote wealth and business. Middle class families continue rising to prominence in some of the more wealthy provinces, as well as some of the less wealthy provinces. Greater Kaliforno expands 10,300 km and Haven expands 6200 km.
 * Italia builds more ships for its navy. Small contingents of volunteers and troops continue to fight against Ethiopia. Urbanization continues across Italia at a rapid pace especially in the Western port cities. Venice begins to make a name for itself in tourism for the upper class, education and naval construction in some of the farther islands with the lagoon's sheltered and settled condition proving to be perfect for shipbuilding. Florence and a few other cities in central Italia become industrial centres as huge cloth weaving factories spring up to serve the growing demands of an expanding population. The University of Venice continues chemical experimentation. Meanwhile, the University of Milan and the University of Istria continue to lead in the study of human anatomy with near daily dissections much to the displeasure of the local populace. The University of Southern Tyrolia continues observing the skies and discovers more astronomical objects. Italia and its subject nations continue to experience a declining death rate as a result of greater understanding of how the human body works. Printing presses in the major cities churn out daily newspapers for the people reporting on various news across the Italian dominions. Aymara and Nya Gyptios expand at 10,000 sq km inland while Nuovo Brescia expands by 8500 sq km in Australia and another 8500 sq km in Nuovo Guinea where missionaries desperately attempt to save the souls of the cannibals. Nuovo Venexia and Treviso expand by 8500 sq km. Work to repair the incorrect rail gauges in the North continues. Many factories of different types continue to be set up around Italia.
 * Romania and Padang work on their economies. Siam and Malacca work on their navies. Yugoslavia and Hungary work on their armies.
 * The Levantine Kingdom works on developing its industrial capacity. They expand the New Syria colony by 4500 sq km. The Nile sees the rise of factories similar to those in Florence. The Levantine government continues work on the Suez Canal. At the current rate of work, it is expected that the canal will be completed early next year.
 * The Maldives and Nya Syria both work on their navies. Many Nya Syriacs are encouraged to return to the Levant where life is a lot easier than in the Caribbean Sea.

 * Angouleme: Military and navy are built up. Withdraws from the war and recognizes the new French king
 * Propaganda continues to play a major part in the everyday person's life. Patriotic messages help keep the nations' people going. The three major railway lines begin to take small amounts of customers for their train services. Paper mills continue to make great rolls of paper and with cheap paper now being sold on the market. The SOC continues ferrying the settlers into Atlantia. As a result Uttarshina is expanded by 2000 km (Stage 4). The small gold rush begins to grow and the news spreads through ports. The nation continues its large propaganda campaigns while Hindi continues to grow in strength as the trading language in all of the Maharajyan territories. The military begins a large innovation program. Bhutan, Kamapura and Dahod continue to expand their economies as trading with the Maharajya helps create growth. Assam's growth continues at a good pace and helps to better its citizen's lives. Large roads continue to be built in Assam to help trading and ease movement. Much migration also takes place between Orissa and the vassals. Proper Amharic continues to gain prominence in many people's lives. In the SOC, there is a huge cry to help out the Ethiopians from the position they are in. Propaganda continues to spur the citizens to view the Ethiopians akin to Orissans and as cultural "brothers". The Raja continues to compemplate plans for acquiring a new colony somewhere in Africa. Steam boats continue to be built to transport good across rivers and from Maharajya to Dakshin Maharajya (collective name for Mataram and Brunei). Saxena Constructions begins to build bigger steam ships for heavier transportation duties. The military continues to order more prototypes. All prototypes are recalled and retro-fitted. This also enables them to be better prepared for the seas. The engines are replaced with a stronger model to make them better. The newly conquered areas continue to be assimilated into the Maharajya. The South sees a large network of roads being built while canal construction also continues at a good pace. Patagoshina is expanded by 30,000 km and cuts off the Japanese state from expanding (yeah folks, 200 years finally). The nation continues to to secretly fund the Nestorian missionaries in Iraq.
 * Germanica proposes a renewed alliance with the  Maharajya and its associated nations.
 * The United Maharajya declines. The people will not ally with a nation attacking its ally.
 * Errrrrm...kden. Just thought you'd like a new partner in crime with the recent events.
 * Rajputana expands its army and economy heavily, and Naya Punjab grows by 32,000 km (Stage 4, 200 years). Rajputana sees a large industrial boom of its own. The dual railway line of Amritsar to Lahore also begins to see its first few customers. The Khmers expand their economy and army, so do Mataram and Brunei. The puppet state of Naya Bihar expands by 15000 km inland and they build up their army. Naya Bihar sees growth on its coast as cities begin to grow and rival some in the Maharajya itself. Naya Bihar's economy grows. The natives begin to be converted into the ways of Hinduism by the arriving colonists and citizens. Butung also builds up its infrastructure. Hindi becomes evem more commonly spoken and most people when visiting other cities regularly speak Hindi to other folk. Kongo is also captured and is expanded by 15,000 km as many flee from the arriving Orissan administrators due to the false propaganda spread by the Welsh.
 * Imperium Africana continues to fend off the invasion of the British Isles, stalling the enemy quite well until reinforcements from the homeland arrive to lighten the burden of the defense. The local governments make some headway in the recruitment of British troops, who state their reasons for fighting being to stop the Germans for themselves, not for Ethiopia. The Ethiopian government in Scotland quarantines the infected ports in southwest Scotland, and sends doctors to aid the people suffering for the disease. Their selfless devotion to the saving of lives has gained Ethiopia some support from the Scottish people. The legitimacy of the dominion governments in the British Isles continues to build thanks to the empire's consistent string of victories in protecting the islands from invasion. The war does much to build up a relationship between the Ethiopians the British, helping to remove the wedge the invasion created. Many children begin to look up to the Ethiopian soldiers protecting them from the Germans, and some even take a liking to the exotic-looking people from overseas. Food continues to pour in from Africa, helping to slow the famine, and the pesticides imported from India and Sudan begin to take effect in killing the potato bugs that were wiping out entire crops. Sadly however, 1.7 million Britons die from the two-year long famine combined with mass emigration. The Ethiopian government spends 150,000 birr (£8.3 million today) paying for food imports to British Isles, reparations to the families of those killed in the war, famine and typhus outbreak, and troops expenditures. The vast sum spent on the islands has caused many Britons to take a form of delight in their level of importance in the new empire, and many begin to willingly join the military to fight for their new "king." Elsewhere, the dominions of Adal, Warsangali, Borona and Kenya approach the Emperor of Ethiopia with ideas to establish a commonwealth of nations, in which all members of the empire are treated equals within a network of laws that promote the culture and ideals of the Imperium throughout its territories. The Emperor agrees to this idea, and orders the intergration of the lower vassals that have not yet joined the empire as dominions into this new government in 1820. The colonies of Bärädä and Mogäs are expanded by 2000 km each, while the colonies of Tumaini and Wädäb are expanded by 1500 km each. Dähnnät is expanded by 1000 km.
 * Russia: works on its military. Industrial production is amped up, and more funds are given to scientists. The death rate is rapidly decreasing as a result of better understanding of anatomy. Russia grudgingly continues its stance on Scandinavia. Socialism grows. Russian railroads begin to be used more and more by the wealthy. The government waits to see their effectiveness before beginning construction on other lines. Many proposals pop up for the "Second Railway", one of them from Riga to Novgorod, and another from Minsk to Kazan via Moscow.  due to the success of the First Railway, plans for the Second railway, from minsk to moscow to kazan, are approved and will begin construction next year.
 * Minsk: works on its economy. Industry builds up at an exponential rate. More textile factories emerge all around the nation, as the resource of the twin-piston steam engine is being used exquisitely well. The Wealthy begin using railways to ferry resources and personnel between the four largest cities in Russia.  due to the success of the First Railway, plans for the Second railway, from minsk to moscow to kazan, are approved and will begin construction next year.

 * The Shogunate is asked whether Kazami can be bought by the United Maharajya for a good price.
 * Shogun Rokkaku Mitsuaki will sell Kazami for around 1,000,000 Yen to the United Maharajya.
 * After diving into the treasury, the Maharajya agrees and the Raja sends the shipment of money to the Japanese - heavily guarded by the navy.
 * Shogun Rokkaku Mitsuaki thanks the Maharajya for the payment and happily hands the Kazami colony over to them.
 * Imperium Africana would like to open official dialogue with the people of the Shogunate. We extend a hand of friendship and brotherhood to the Japanese people, and send a ship full of the choicest items of the His Imperial Majesty's domains across the globe as a gift to the Her Majesty the Empress Meishō of Rokkaku Shogunate as a gift. We patiently await your response.
 * Shogun Rokkaku Mitsuaki accepts the Imperium Africana's offers, and Empress Meishō thanks them for the gifts. In return she sends some gifts to the Ethiopians.
 * The Federal Republic of Tojiko continues to build up its military and expands by 9950 sq km. Some Jīdūhist and Amaterasuist Churches are built. A few Shinto shrines are also built.
 * The Federal Prefectures of Kasodani continues to build up its military. More Shinto shrines and Taoist temples are built. A few Buddhist temples are also built. Kasodani expands by 8500 sq km.

 * Nestorianism continues to expand in Iraq and Kuwait. Infrastructure improvements are begun in Iraq and Kuwait.
 * The United Maharajya offer to buy Bombay from the Kuwaitis and will pay a good sum of money.
 * But they already have sold this territory to you.
 * Oh, sorry didn't see. :L
 * The Hellenic Union completes all railways, and passenger as well as cargo trains are now used. Cement continues to be spread around Anatolia and the Hellenic peninsula, with slow use in government buildings and other buildings of importance, as well as the autocrat's houses. Steel and glass are also used within buildings, specifically in large cities. On Cyprus and Crete, paper mills continue to be develop, as well as cloth factories, and much the same occurs on the colonies, as well as continual building of railway lines. The Hellenic economy is expanded and Nea Lefkosia is expanded by 12,000 sq km, and Nea Konstantinoupoli is expanded by 12,000 sq km.
 * Cyrenaica: continues to implement fertiliser and hospitals, and expands southwards by 20,000 sq km.
 * Imperium Africana continues to hold off the invasion, and additional troops arrive in the British Isles to stave off the enemy forces. Ethiopian forces gain support of the British masses as protectors and defenders of Britannia, and though some still resent the actions of the Ethiopian military during the invasion, the Ethiopians make it clear that their war was against the Welsh, not the Briton people. Still habouring resentment toward the Welsh for their several decades long rule over them, the English, Scottish and Irish soon come to view the Ethiopians as liberators, and many are convinced that the Ethiopians may in fact be a better alternative to the Welsh, now the lackies of the German invaders. Ethiopia's open policy of intermarriage and intermingling within the communities of its dominions begins to take hold of the British Isles, with many Ethiopian soldiers marrying British women, and British men travelling abroad into Ethiopian domains looking for work and finding many intelligent and helpful friends whom they come to view as equals. The Ethiopian language begins to take root in the region, and the adopting of Ethiopian Orthodox Christianity to join the largest religion of the country, begins to spread across Britain and Ireland. The Ethiopians gain a number of powerful allies in Britain, and with their help, build their case against the Germans, who claim to be brothers seeking to "liberate" the British. Given the poor reputation of the Germans as fighters, their past defeats not yet forgotten, many English and Scotsmen begin to view the Ethiopians as a better choice in terms of wealth and protection. The Ethiopians diaspora in Britain and Ireland continues to grow, with more than 150,000 Ethiopians residing in Britain alone, and another 60,000 in Ireland. Many Britons who came to resent the Ethiopians have now come to see them as people like themselves, with a strong history of imperial might and glory, and much wealth that has long been spread to all classes within the empire. This results in dissedents coming to acknowledge that more can be gained from supporting Ethiopia than fighting it. Especially so is this case when many see the Ethiopian doctors fighting to save the lives of those in the ports fo Scotland and Ireland as they successfully contain the typhus outbreak. Ethiopia extends a hand of friendship to the Sukuma people south of Lake Zanj. Ethiopian merchants move into the region to begin trading with the natives, gaining the trust and support of many tribal leaders. The Ethiopians showcase their wealth and power, sporting the guns of their neighboring homeland. The first year of vassalization begins. Many Ethiopians begin migrating into the central lands south of Ethiopia proper and Adal, and settle in the region. The area is named Bado (ባዶ), symbolizing its emptiness. The colony of Bärädä is expanded by 3500 km, while the colonies of Tumaini and Wädäb are expanded by 2000 km each. Dähnnät is expanded by 1500 km.
 * Russia: works on its military. Industrial production is amped up, and more funds are given to scientists. The death rate is rapidly decreasing as a result of better understanding of anatomy. Russia grudgingly continues its stance on Scandinavia. Socialism grows. Russian railroads begin to be used more and more by the wealthy. Socialsists number 60 in the Duma. Anti-socialist factions emerge, most notably "economic Liberals". The Socialists tend to congregate in the left wing of the Duma. Kazan-Moscow begins construction. and Moscow-Minsk as well.
 * Minsk: works on its economy. Industry builds up at an exponential rate. More textile factories emerge all around the nation, as the resource of the twin-piston steam engine is being used exquisitely well.

We become really rich from selling silk and scientists began researching an industrialised way of making silk. We lost the Ethiopian War and we suffered a small dip in our morale. However, the king and the chamber announced that there would be a giant memorial in memory of the dead soldiers in the Ethiopian War, the memorial kept everyones morale high again because a family said that they had a vision that the dead soldiers wanted to drink Palm Wine. Hence, all men and women drank palm wine and danced around, making them extremely happy. The memorial lasted for three days and the chamber debates whether or not to make it annual.
 * You didn't lose the Ethiopian war, the algorithm hasn't been completed.
 * Yes, we're still ironing out the final details of the war, though it'll take a minute before it's completed. ~Viva
 * Suddeutsches Reich: The militaries of Saxony, Bavaria, Anhalt and Tanimbarkai expand. A joint Bavarian-Saxon military science team invents the air rifle, an ingenious invention allowing for a reduction in gunpowder usage and for quieter shooting. Aristocrats purchase prototypes for use on the hunt, and are impressed with the (comparable) quiet of the new weapons. An experimental "Air Rifle Company" is established in the Saxon and Bavarian armies to test the effectiveness of the weapon in combat situations. The war against Switzerland continues, with Swiss resistance pretty much completely destroyed. Overseas, Bavarian Indonesia continues to industrialise, and the two Australia colonies do the same. Saxon West Africa expands 1000 sq km inland along the Northern border. The Guinea Schutzgebiet expands 1000 sq km west along the coast, and Bavarian Carthage expands south.
 * Italia builds more ships for its navy. Small contingents of volunteers and troops continue to fight against Ethiopia.

Florence and a few other cities in central Italia become industrial centres as huge cloth weaving factories spring up to serve the growing demands of an expanding population. The University of Venice continues chemical experimentation. Meanwhile, the University of Milan and the University of Istria continue to lead in the study of human anatomy with near daily dissections much to the displeasure of the local populace. The University of Southern Tyrolia continues observing the skies and discovers more astronomical objects. Italia and its subject nations continue to experience a declining death rate as a result of greater understanding of how the human body works. Printing presses in the major cities churn out daily newspapers for the people reporting on various news across the Italian dominions.

King Atticus works with his aging new prime minister, a 70 year-old Taoist named Changchun Zi A'a'a'Ctli, who was elected to succeed Pantaleon in 1814 (oops on missing my own term limits). Prime Minister Changchun Zi is considered weak and the much younger Pantaleon is widely seen as a power behind the political establishment. Queen Natalia Nashrat has twins, a second son who is named Prince Gavin Peter Pugh'i'Selk'nam'ichin afer King Atticus' imprisoned eleder brother Gavin, and a second daughter named Princess Frumentia Axum'i'OnaYagichin. The purchase of the De Mor Tir islands from United Maharajya is completed in exchange for a full year's produce of the Ona Yagich gold mine (put whatever dollar amount you want on that, as money is pretty much meaningless in this game).
 * The Mayan Empire continues trade with European colonies and the Lakota. The Empire continues the war against Ethiopia, which seems to be coming closer to a resolution.

The SOC continues ferrying the settlers into Atlantia. As a result Uttarshina is expanded by 21000 km (Stage 4). The small gold rush begins to grow and the news spreads through ports. The nation continues its large propaganda campaigns while Hindi continues to grow in strength as the trading language in all of the Maharajyan territories. The military begins a large innovation program. Bhutan, Kamapura and Dahod continue to expand their economies as trading with the Maharajya helps create growth. Assam's growth continues at a good pace and helps to better its citizen's lives. Large roads continue to be built in Assam to help trading and ease movement. Much migration also takes place between Orissa and the vassals. Proper Amharic continues to gain prominence in many people's lives. In the SOC, there is a huge cry to help out the Ethiopians from the position they are in. The Raja knows he cannot do so as it is crucial that his military gets a rest due to the major war they recently fought. Propaganda continues to spur the citizens to view the Ethiopians akin to Orissans and as cultural "brothers". The Raja continues to compemplate plans for acquiring new colonies somewhere in Africa. Steam boats continue to be built to transport good across rivers and from Maharajya to Dakshin Maharajya (collective name for Mataram and Brunei). Saxena Constructions begins to build bigger steam ships for heavier transportation duties. The military continues to order more prototypes.

The dual railway line of Amritsar to Lahore also begins to see its first few customers. The Khmers expand their economy and army, so do Mataram and Brunei. The puppet state of Naya Bihar expands by 15,000 km inland and they build up their army. Naya Bihar sees growth on its coast as cities begin to grow and rival some in the Maharajya itself. Naya Bihar's economy grows. The natives begin to be converted into the ways of Hinduism by the arriving colonists and citizens. Butung also builds up its infrastructure. Hindi becomes evem more commonly spoken and most people when visiting other cities regularly speak Hindi to other folk.

 * Portugal accepts.
 * All_we_ask_for_(PMII).png (the Orissans) were misunderstood. We were not asking for the whole colony to be sold, in fact, just small amounts of lands which make the expansion of our colonies problematic. We have even received reports that the Portuguese colony has many unexplored areas closer to the coast.
 * Portugal would like to agree to future borders before transferring any land.

Russia, please respond. King Gopan is still looking for a wife. Any country interested, please repond. The economy is improved.
 * Bayern: In Bavaria the Nationalist Party wins the election, steering the nation to a more militaristic and nationalist stance. The war with Switzerland goes on, with Bavarian troops literally mopping up what's left of their weak defensive structure. The Bayerische Rifle Company is founded and begins to revolutionise rifling. Overseas, all colonies expand to their fullest extent. Bavarian Australis begins a massive building project in the capital city, Neu Munchen, complete with widened roadways and a very "European" Design. A new Prime Minister, Johann Forstopf is elected. The military is expanded. An economic trade deal is struck with Ethiopia. Bavaria aiding the Ethiopians in developing steam boats for the merchant navy, and Ethiopians trading more iron and resources needed to expand the Bavarian railways. A new line, the Prague-Vienna line is announced. (Potentially more things I forgot to add)
 * Imperium Africana is pleased with the trade, and is happy to trade in any raw materials your people may need. As we are pioneering in development of wide-gauge railways, we wish to test out a new version of these designs on the flat terrain of your country with your permission of course. Our engineers stationed in Britain await your response.
 * Bayern D:  The Minister of Transportation, thanks the Ethiopians for their co-operation, despite these troubling times in the world.
 * Myanmar: We ask if we can co-operate with the train program, since Myanmar has completed 1750 km train rail.
 * Myanmar: Myanmar Afrika expands by 2100 sq km. Myanmar Oceania expands by 2100 sq km. Myanmar Guinea expands by 2000 sq km. Urbanization continues using the lumber in Northern Myanmar. Industrialization begins to speed up dramatically due to the rise of personal enterprises and the steam engine. More rifles are built. We continue expanding our navy. We become really rich from selling silk and scientists began researching an industrialised way of making silk. We discover we haven'tlost and we have another celebration for that. We ask China if we can extend the train rail to Harbin.
 * The Hellenic Union completes all railways, and passenger as well as cargo trains are now used. Cement continues to be spread around Anatolia and the Hellenic peninsula, with slow use in government buildings and other buildings of importance, as well as the autocrat's houses. Steel and glass are also used within buildings, specifically in large cities. On Cyprus and Crete, paper mills continue to be develop, as well as cloth factories, and much the same occurs on the colonies, as well as continual building of railway lines. The Hellenic economy is expanded and Nea Lefkosia is expanded by 12,000 sq km, and Nea Konstantinoupoli is expanded by 12,000 sq km.

 * Saxony: The Cologne to Dresden via Magdeburg railway is finally completed! Goods and coal from the industrial West can finally reach the markets of the East with a speed and cheapness previously unknown. In other news, the military is expanded and the Imperial Signals and Communications Corps improves its capabilities, particularly its codebreaking and mobile technologies. An entire regiment is equipped with the new air rifles, and a horse-drawn "air pressuriser" is provided for the regiment so soldiers do not need to hand-pump their air canisters with what are, effectively, OTL bicycle pumps. The colonies expand at the same rates. In Saxon West Africa, the most affluent of the colonies, work begins on a small railway to follow the telegraph lines.
 * Propaganda continues to play a major part in the everyday person's life. Patriotic messages help keep the nations' people going. The three major railway lines begin to recieve more customers and the idea of travelling by rail becomes more accepted. Paper mills continue to make great rolls of paper and with cheap paper now being sold on the market. The SOC continues ferrying the settlers into Atlantia. As a result Uttarshina is expanded by 8000 km (Stage 4 - its the colony in the middle). The small gold rush begins to grow and the news spreads through ports.

Arab Bombay begins to see a large number of migration to as well, with less heading to proper Bombay. (Fun fact: Von had actually taken a completely random piece on the coast and had called it Bombay, the real Bombay was with me - I wasn't going to point it out though). Plans of a rail route from Bombay to Arab Bombay begin to be thought of and funding begins to arrive. Proper Amharic continues to gain prominence in many people's lives. In the SOC, there is a huge cry to help out the Ethiopians from the position they are in. The Raja knows he cannot do so as it is crucial that his military gets a rest due to the major war they recently fought. Propaganda continues to spur the citizens to view the Ethiopians akin to Orissans and as cultural "brothers" and that the people must help their brothers by colonising lands which the Ethiopians do not have a great population in.

 * Imperium Afriana continues to stall the invasion of its territories, and its people acknowledge that an end to the conflict may be in sight. The legitimacy of the Ethiopian government in Great Britain reaches a fever pitch, as a German assault on the city of Bristol is defeated, and the Ethiopian-led forces save countless tens of thousands of lives. Britons throughout the island are delighted with the victory, and many soon come to agree that the Ethiopians are not as bad as they once thought. The war has come to bring the two people closer together, and has strengthened relations between the two nations as a single unit. Elsewhere, the typhus outbreak has been successfully eliminated, and the famine has come to an end with monthly food shipments having helped the population of Britain and Ireland survive while their crops are revitalized using Orissan-made fertilizers that bring life back to the land and help defeat the crop-destroying pests. A university teaching the Amharic-Hindi hybrid language is opened in Ländän, to teach the second-most widely spoken language of the Imperium in Great Britain. The ethnic Ethiopian population of Great Britain is tallied at 315,000 as of 1819.

Many marry into Ethiopian families, and some travel abroad, returning to their homeland with great tales of the wealth and might of the Ethiopian empire. The development of the rail network continues, with Ethiopia leading the rest of the world in the sheer level of railways in both size, complexity and sophistication. The military undergoes a major reform, in which dominion armies are established for each of the nations within the Imperium, and a single massive military force that is developed to defend the empire as a unit. Yorubaland's government renames the dominion to Nayjeriya (ናይጄሪያ). Plans to incorporate neighboring Oyo and Benin into the dominion are slated for 1830 (the three dominions actually occupy more land than they are shown to have on the map).

More regiments are equipped with the new air rifles, and quite a large air-pump manufacturing industry establishes itself to meet the growing demand. The soldiers and officers like the new weapons with their relative quiet and 20-round magazine. The weapons are strictly controlled though, as the government does not want other countries getting wind (ha ha, pun) of the air rifle. The military generally expands. As does Anhalt's, Cologne's and Tanimbarkai's. The colonies, however, focus more on their economies. Saxon Australis starts another port upgrade project to attract yet more shipping to the already thriving port-city of Saint Boniface. Khmer Koch diversifies its shipbuilding-reliant economy to  include things like furniture building, and plain wood supplying. Saxon West Africa continues working on its small railway line, which is set to greatly increase the speed with which farmers and hunters can get their produce to market.

Back in Europe, the Saxon presence in Switzerland winds down, as Bavaria annexes the completely defeated country.  PMII1820_Russia_railway_map.png
 * Russia: works on its military. Industrial production is amped up, and more funds are given to scientists. The death rate is rapidly decreasing as a result of better understanding of anatomy. Russia grudgingly continues its stance on Scandinavia. Socialism grows. Russian railroads begin to be used more and more by the wealthy. Socialsists number 60 in the Duma. Anti-socialist factions emerge, most notably "economic Liberals". The Socialists tend to congregate in the left wing of the Duma. Kazan-Moscow begins construction. and Moscow-Minsk as well. The Socialists continue to gain popularity. Plans for the "Third Railway" are approved, from riga, to Taalin, to novgorod, to Arkhanglesk. Another Railway is approved, from Novgorod to the Russian Navy HQ in Nikolaevsk (St Petersburg), and a line connecting the Thrid Railway with Nikolaevsk, nicknamed. The first Russian telegraph is opened along the first railway, connecting government offices in those three cities. The Russian Duma approves of legislation brought up by to create a joint-nation control of the Russian realm's railway network, to create a multinational orgonization controling railways (proposed name EvraZhDKom, Evraziyskoe Zhelezno Dorozhnaya Komissiya, Eurasian Railroad Commission, or ERC). All that Russia is waiting for is approval for all Russian realm nations for this to happen. Joint approval is issued for the "first Finnish railway", connecting Novgorod and Helsinki, the capital of Suur-Suomi. Legislation is approved that each major "numbered' railway must have accompanying telegraph lines.
 * Minsk: works on its economy. Industry builds up at an exponential rate. More textile factories emerge all around the nation, as the resource of the twin-piston steam engine is being used exquisitely well. The wealthy begin using railways to ferry resources and personnel between the four largest cities in Russia.  Moscow-Minsk railway continues construction. Minsk approves of the ERC.
 * Ukraine: works on its military to improve defence as it is now tasked with partrolling its borders. The first railway is used primarily to ferry resources by the wealthy. The Ukrainian Duma approves of constructing the
 * The Grand Principality of Suur-Suomi works on its military. Orthodoxy becomes a major religion in major cities such as Helsinki and Taalinn.

 * Saami Autonomous Oblast: population reaches 100,000. Expands into Kola.
 * The Norwegian State: works on its economy.
 * Great Haruwin of the Selk'nam: Military and economy continue to expand under the rule of Kind Atticus and Prime Minister Changchun Zi. Former Prime Minister Pantaleon continues consolidating himself as the true power behind Changchun Zi's government and there is talk that he will return as Prime Minister when Changchun Zi's term expires. The De Mor Tir islands continue to be integrated into the haruwin as their infrastructure is rebuilt after their participation in the war. The capital, De Mor Tir City, instantly becomes the second largest city in the Haruwin with a population almost equal to that of Ona Yagich. The local people intergrate well into the political life of the Haruwin, as despite the gap in culture, they are happy to be living under the benevolent rule of the last remaing royal from the former Brythonic Royal House of Pugh. King Atticus orders that special pains be taken in order to preserve the Brythonic culture and language in the city, rather than attempting to force Selk'nam culture on the inhabitants - in hopes that the Islands will become "a new Brython where our language is spoken and our children are told of the great deeds of our motherland before the war." However, Selk'nam immigrants (especially from Konip) are allowed to move to the southern half of the East Island, which had once been Selk'nam land and where the Selk'nam culture of the locals had been protected by a treaty with Wales. Limited numbers of Selk'nam are also allowed to relocate to the sparsely poplated West Island, on the condition that they learn the Brythonic language and integrate into the local culture of Atticus' "New Brython". This policy does not go down well with some Selk'nam nationalists on the mainland, who believe the islands should be encouraged to adopt Selk'nam ways, but they are very popular in the islands themselves, which become very patriotic towards the Haruwin. Atticus declares that "In my view, De Mor Tir of Wales became one of the great cultures of Atlantia, and we should take them in with the same respect with which we took in Teushen and Tehuelche. The De Mor Tirians will be the seventh great tribe of the Haruwin, and like the other tribes we will respect their traditions as a native Atlantian people". However, there is mass education in the Selk'nam language to ensure that the islanders can communicate with theri new brothers on the mainland.
 * The Hellenic Union completes all railways, and passenger as well as cargo trains are now used. Cement continues to be spread around Anatolia and the Hellenic peninsula, with slow use in government buildings and other buildings of importance, as well as the autocrat's houses. Steel and glass are also used within buildings, specifically in large cities. On Cyprus and Crete, paper mills continue to be develop, as well as cloth factories, and much the same occurs on the colonies, as well as continual building of railway lines.

Overseas, Bavarian Australis expands the last little bit of coast remaining, the rest of the pixels (10,000) go toward the east. Borneo refits its aging ports, designing a massive port capable of handling the cargo load of the Bavarian Empire. The Prime Minister meets in secret with Saxon leaders about "Operation Faust". The Stuttgart train line merges with the Saxon lines, fully linking the two nations together.
 * Italia builds more ships for its navy. Small contingents of volunteers and troops continue to fight against Ethiopia. Urbanization continues across Italia at a rapid pace especially in the Western port cities. Venice begins to make a name for itself in tourism for the upper class, education and naval construction in some of the farther islands with the lagoon's sheltered and settled condition proving to be perfect for shipbuilding. Florence and a few other cities in central Italia become industrial centres as huge cloth weaving factories spring up to serve the growing demands of an expanding population. The University of Venice continues chemical experimentation. Meanwhile, the University of Milan and the University of Istria continue to lead in the study of human anatomy with near daily dissections much to the displeasure of the local populace. The University of Southern Tyrolia continues observing the skies and discovers more astronomical objects. Italia and its subject nations continue to experience a declining death rate as a result of greater understanding of how the human body works. Printing presses in the major cities churn out daily newspapers for the people reporting on various news across the Italian dominions.

 * The Great Haruwin of the Selk'nam would like to enquire about purchasing the portion of the Nusantara islands which do not lie on mainland Sulawesi. We have no interest in Sulawesi itself but the outlying islands would be a fine addition. But the price must be right.
 * The United Maharajya would like to buy the whole colony for a good price. The recently captured state of Aceh will also be thrown in, so the straight-up price will be less but they will receive a new area in exchange. We would also like to buy mainland Sulawesi, freeing up the islands for the Selk'nam.
 * The Maldives and Nya Syria both work on their navies. Many Nya Syriacs are encouraged to return to the Levant where life is a lot easier than in the Caribbean Sea.
 * Nestorianism and Zoroastrianism continue to expand in Iraq. Nestorianism is quickly becoming the second most popular religion in the world.

Many smaller branch of lines are also constructed to attract goods from other areas. Paper mills continue to make great rolls of paper and with cheap paper now being sold on the market. The SOC continues ferrying the settlers into Atlantia. As a result Uttarshina is expanded by 8000 km (Stage 4 - its the colony in the middle). The small gold rush grows as large numbers of citizens arrive to mine gold and earn a better life. The nation continues its large propaganda campaigns while Hindi continues to grow in strength as the trading language in all of the Maharajyan territories. The military begins to recieve better cannons and rifles. Hearing about the development of air rifles, the first batch of Orissan air rifles are produced in large quantities and are tested on field. Bhutan, Kamapura and Dahod continue to expand their economies as trading with the Maharajya helps create growth. Assam's growth continues at a good pace and helps to better its citizen's lives. Large roads continue to be built in Assam to help trading and ease movement. Much migration also takes place between Orissa and the vassals, creating a metropolitan environment in the cities of Bhubaneswar, Delhi and Lucknow. Arab Bombay sees a large number of people heading into the city. A huge number of Hindu missionaries follow and they begin to convert many who have made a life for themselves. A rail route from Bumbai to Arab Bombay begins to be constructed to ensure a large amount of trading between the two port cities can occur and that the city of Arab Bombay becomes Orissanised. Proper Amharic continues to gain prominence in many people's lives. In the SOC, there is a huge cry to help out the Ethiopians from the position they are in. The Raja sends large amounts of food to their troops and help seeing as the war might be over. Huge numbers demonstrate stating that the Raja did nothing and should have defended their brothers from the brutal warring. Propaganda continues to spur the citizens to view the Ethiopians akin to Orissans and as cultural "brothers" and that the people must help their brothers by colonising lands which the Ethiopians do not have a great population in. The Raja continues to compemplate plans for acquiring new colonies somewhere in Africa, and the selling of the colony would be perfect for his needs. Steam boats continue to be built to transport good across rivers and from Maharajya to Dakshin Maharajya (collective name for Mataram and Brunei). Saxena Constructions begins to build bigger steam ships for heavier transportation duties. The military orders its first batch of fully tested ships to be bought for patrolling.

The development of the empire's assests ranging for the military, economy and infrastructure continues. The third year of the vassalization of Sukuma begins, with many tribal leaders and their followers now speaking Ethiopian and wearing Ethiopian clothing as  they grew closer to their larger neighbor culturally and economically. Many Ethiopian merchants have started families with the native population, beginning the process of Ethiopification of the kingdom. The colony of Bärädä is expanded by 3500 km, while the colonies of Tumaini and Wädäb are expanded by 2000 km each. Dähnnät is expanded by 1500 km.
