Although slavery is not yet been abolished in the Union, it has become a sort of unwritten law in the north except for in Missouri, Deleware (which suddenly began using thousands of slaves imported from Africa since the US colonies are US territory, and thus within US borders. Expansion of the colonies continues, with factories being built in some of the major colonial cities, of which most of these so called cities are really just medium-large towns. The Negro Exportation Bill is passed in Congress, aouthorizing the import of slaves from US African colonies and there being soled to the CSA as long as none remain in the United States. Lincoln wins an astounding landslide victory even though he lost the civil war, but due to his quick victory over Mexico and keeping CS expansion into Mexico from occuring, vigorious expansion overseas, and bringing much wealth, markets, and power to the United States, he is reenaugerated with great ceremony. The Republicans soon take over 4/5's of Congress in the Congressional elections, leaving the Democrats with little say in the progress of the nation, and due to this, the Democrats become a soley border state party except in the region around Washington DC.

The first government sponsored railroads are set up, and with private interests, hundreds of miles of railways are built in a few short months throughout Prussia.
 * US Diplomacy: Prussia and Japan are offered membership in the World Economic Community.

They begin producing their own rifles, and after hard fighting, conquer OTL Southern Somalia. They do congratulate the alliance with America.
 * US Diplomacy: After permission is given by Portugal, 50,000 US troops and 12 ironclad war frigates are sent to Portugal to help in the conquest of Spain, of which after it is conquered, all of the Spanish Empire will become the Portugese Empire.

 * Folks, just another thing about map games: the idea is that you only make ONE move a day. Your supposed to give other people, who aren't on all day, everyday, a chance to react to your moves. I always got the impression that Map Games were like Civilization, Risk and/or Axis & Allies: you make moves in your turn, then wait for everyone else to make their moves, then you start the next turn. I'm not trying to sound like a grumpy old guy, and I'm not going to name names this time, but PLEASE FOLLOW MAP GAME RULES, or at least let people know that those RULES HAVE CHANGED. Lieut.

The colonies continue to grow, with the two Indian colonies being expanded by force and increased settling, pushing much deeper into India and connecting the two US Indian Colonies. The Indian Empire demands that it stop, and the US agrees on the terms that it can keep the new territory, which is accepted. US aid to the Empire begins at full speed to bring it economically and militarily to its feet. Feeling that the people of former Mexico actualy do not like being in the USA, plebiscites are allowed with the choice to either stay American or join the CSA. Most of Central Mexico votes to join the CSA, and the plebiscites are respected, ceding the pro-CS states to the Confederacy. The USA asks that western Arizona territory be given to the USA for obvious defense reasons in exchange for all of the pro-CS Mexican States.
 * Iberian Empire's leader, Franco, asks Maroccian citizens, if they agree, that Marocco would be connected to Iberian Empire, if it would raise the salary of people, working there. The citizens agreed after the voting, which took one month.
 * United Kingdom: Quebec holds referendum, and the outcome overwhelmingly sides with Quebec not joining Confederation (73% to abstain, 26% to join, 1% not counted.) The UK respects their wishes and decides to keep each colony as 3 British dominions (Ontario, Quebec and Acadia). Also, they grow their Indian colonies at a fast rate and the African colonies at a slower rate. British South Africa annexes a small portion of the Orange Free State. Meanwhile, Australia, noticing the recent Japanese expansion into New Guinea, decide to begin colonizing part of the lower area.
 * US Diplomacy: Inida can no longer be expanded into to, or else India will attack you. The USA will help defend India.
 * Fearing the power of the American Alliance, Prussia agrees to join with the Russian Grand Alliance. However, this is on the condition that Prussia be allowed to unify the Northern German states into one government, the basis of which has already been started with the Economics Union.
 * Russia holdheartedly agrees, and will not stand in the way of the German Unification. In addition, Tsar Alexander III oversees the finishing of work on the railroads, with sufficient access to Siberia from Moscow and Saint Petersberg achieved. 300,000 Russian soldiers are sent to aid the Indians in repelling the Americans and British, as well as 3,000 advisors are sent to India to teach them modern European tactics.

 * Would you mind using this basemap so the mapmakers know where the new French colonies are located?
 * French_Africa_Map_(Fractured_America).pngAfter its citizens agreed, Iberian empire has connected Marocco. The leader of Morocco has peacefully agreed to connect the lands, but with one condition - Maroccian leader will have influence on Iberian government and will take part in votings. Franco, Iberian Empire's leader, agreed to this condition, and Marocco is connected to Iberian Empire straight away. Professor Perbundo, living in the northern Spain, calls this action a "Totalitarianic" action, because of "Total Economy", which Iberian Empire seeks to receive. Franco, on behalf of citizens of Iberian Empire, said: "Do not fear, my people. This is not a war yet. And we're not planning on starting one soon. Remember, that the bigger we are, the more money we will earn. Territory is not the thing. The thing is the money used in that territory, to make the economic stable. If you have any objections to this empire, then leave it. We have open-door policy."

'''Horrified at the British and their continuation to expand into Indian lands, an all out war is delcared by India and attacks begin on the British/Indian frontier to stop the expansion. India asks for US and Russian help. The UK is also notifried that all land annexed before this turn can be kept, as the USA was allowed to keep there from before as well.'''


 * United Kingdom: The UK issues an apology to India, and assures them they will give them back their land annexed in eastern India. They send 50,000 troops to keep the peace at the border of India and US India. Also, the division of the three North American colonies (Ontario, Quebec and Acadia) is complete, and becomes official after Queen Victoria's Canada Act of 1865. But this act of dividing instead of uniting the colonies worries the UK, as it's possible that Australia will stay divided instead of uniting. (more to come.)
 * The Netherlands offers the Boer states in South Africa a chance to enter the Kingdom of the Netherlands as equal states in the Kingdom of the Netherlands. The Kingdom of the Netherlands is reformed and the countries of the Netherlands (Europe), the South Antilles of the Netherlands (Aruba, Bonaire, & Curaçao), the North Antilles of the Netherlands (Saba & Sint Eustatius), Sint Maarten, Transvaal, Orange Free State, and Natalia. The Dutch East indies & Suriname however remain colonies of the Kingdom of the Netherlands, and the colonization of Sumatra continues too.

The United States succesfully lays the first telegraph ine across the Atlantic Ocean and connects it with its West Africa colony, which is then connected to Europe and then to the US India colony, and orders for US Colonial forces to mobilize is given. Railways are begun in US India and in Africa to connect the US Colonies there.
 * UK Diplomacy: The UK denies the US's attempt to make Quebec independent. They say that Quebec will only become independent if they ask for it themselves.
 * US Diplomacy: Fine then, India now has a player, Imperium Guy, and he is my ally. 200,000 more US troops are put on the American Canadian border, giving the US 400,000 men on the Canadian border.
 * UK Diplomacy: The British question the amount of troops placed on the border of Quebec and the US as to why they want Quebec independent.

 * US Diplomacy: The USA puts 100,000 more troops on the border and the 500,000 total troops are put into 4 armies of 125,000 and prepare to invade Canada secretly, conquer Canada, and give Quebec its independance. And remember, the USA has 5 allies, you have one. You will face war on several fronts, especialy India and Canada.
 * UK Diplomacy: Which "Canada" are you thinking of conquering? But besides that, the UK quickly unites the colonies into one Confederation, realizing the possibility of an American takeover. The UK issues 50,000 troops along with 100,000 troops from Ontario, 125,000 troops from Quebec, and 75,000 troops from Acadia, 75,000 troops from Australia and New Zealand and 25,000 troops from British Raj to hold back the US troops. Also, the British accept the French's offer for a mutual protection policy as long as they help stop the invasion of the North American colonies.
 * US Diplomacy: It will take at least another turn for you to get all of your troops from your other colonies and then another to get your troops in place. The USA invades Canada while the UK is still mobilzing and easily begins to take territory. American India is given to India as a gift.
 * UK Diplomacy: It'll take a year to mobilize troops from other colonies? I doubt that. But I have enough Canadian troops on the Ontarian border to keep the peace. The UK, not willing to spend more money on a war after the, offers the US a peace treaty; divide Ontario into two and give part of it to the US and split Quebec in half, the one part being independent.
 * US Dipomacy: The treaty is accpepted and US troops begin to pull ouy of Britsh territory while Quebec is recognized and made a US protectorate which is also fully independant. MAKE A MAP PLEASE.
 * UK Diplomacy: The British agree to the US's wishes. The map is done.
