Principia Moderni III (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 1400 CE, 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. The second game, instead of being a worthy successor to the first, was marred by over-expansionism, feuds between players, ambiguity in the rules, which often caused controversy on wars between player nations, over-competitiveness and overall inactivity of the moderators, but was nevertheless successful in reaching the Modern Age. And thus, this third installment has been created. Welcome to Principia Moderni III!

'''In late September, a man drives a wagon into central Paris, right outside the central military headquarters during the height of the day. Within twenty minutes the wagon explodes, killing at least 34 people and wounding an unknown number. Those responsible are not caught and their alliegance is unknown.'''

'''Over the last ten years an estimated 2.5 million have emigrated from Europe, primarily due to conflict. Many have fled to nations like Reme, Emeraldie, Brazil, and Andea. '''

'''The first modern Olympiad has been chosen to take place in Sparta, Roman Empire! Please check the Olympic Games page for details and to propose or vote on future locations. '''


 * United German Kingdoms: New Mecklenburg in Australia expands by 750 px. The relative success in the recent war propels the governing center-right coalition, in particular the Crown Loyalist Party, to over 475 of 525 seats in the House of Commons, and further kills the relevance of left-wing parties in the UGK like the Socialists. The government of the UGK sends Spain a letter asking for an alliance, in particular in case of the increasingly hostile Communist states around it attacks. In other news, the census results are published, showing the population of the UGK standing at 18.7 million people.
 * Spain agrees.


 * Indian Empire: Queen Nur Jehan was proclaimed the Empress of India on 1888, starting a new era. The Indian population rose to about 318,772,000, and the flocking of the people to coastal cities continued, with a mass increase of population in Kolkata, Mahmudpur, Karachi, Mumbai, Surat and various other minor cities and townships throughout the state. The Indian army, equipped with semi-modern armaments stood at 720,000 troops with an additional 250,000 reserves whilst the Imperial Guard was composed of 20,000 troops and the armament industry thrived on local and national level, with armaments rarely imported from foreign nations. The Indian navy experimented on ironclads and had started production of larger classes of steam engine ships, churning out first rate ironclads for various fleets, and more third rates, and fourth rates with the occasional second rate to augment the smaller patrol fleets with 40% of the national navy harboured at the Andaman and Kolkata ports. In agriculture was the largest economic focus of Bengal, exporting various crops to foreign nations with the international jute and cotton textile production largely under Indian control. Along the same time, the Indian Renaissance were in full swing, with movements such as the Young India movement having aided in national modernisation and a massive rise in literacy and education. Moreover, promotion of industrialisation and capitalism allowed the Imperial authorities to construct a Trans-National Railway, connecting the entire Empire as well as introduction of many other commodities such as telephones. The Indian Empire shows interest in joining the Olympics, secretly hoping to acquire recognition as the sole representatives of India. [Mil/Eco Turn]
 * Khedivate of Bahamani: The Capital of Bahamani was Hyderabad and the population was 60.2 million. The Bahamani military was modernised, standing at roughly 80,000 and a major port and naval base was constructed at Mahmudpur, with 25% of the national navy harboured at Bahamani ports. In the economic sector, rice played the role as a major food crop to be exported. However, other important crops such as cotton, sugar cane, mango and tobacco maintained a major presence in Bahamanis exports as well. About the same time, the Bahamani textile and fishery industries reached new heights.
 * Khedivate of Punjab: The Capital of Punjab was Lahore and the population was 45.8 million. The Punjabi military was modernised, standing at roughly 160,000. In the economic sector, wheat played the role as a major food crop to be exported. However, other important crops such as rice, cotton, cotton and ruits maintained a major presence in Punjabs exports as well. About the same time, the Punjabi rock-salt, sugar and leather industries were of significant importance as well.
 * Khedivate of Vijaynagar: The Capital of Vijaynagar was Coimbatore and the population was 36.4 million. The Vijaynagari military was modernised, standing at roughly 120,000 with 15% of the national navy harboured at Vijaynagari ports. In the economic sector, rice played the role as a major food crop to be exported. However, other important crops such as tea, sugar cane, mango and tobacco maintained a major presence in Vijaynagars exports as well. About the same time, the Vijaynagari fishery and leather industries were of significant importance as well. Vijaynagar requests the Roman Empire to return the city of Chennai.
 * BoraliaFlag.png Union of Borealia: Both the economy and military improve across all the provinces of the Union. The thriving industries now run entirely on petroleum, procured from the oil collected from Alaska and California. While the traditional hearts of each city, particularly New Vienna, continue to reflect the same idyllic Baroque style, newer expansions to these urban centers are packed with factories and other industrial equipment. Cities recently built in southern California and northern Alaska are much more developed, as some parts of the Kiatagmiut province are almost unrecognizable. The economy of the Union stems from the exportation of natural resources. San Francisco and Mamterlliq continue to be the main centers of the gold trade, while oil wells begin to speckle the coastal range of California. More oil wells are built in Upper Alaska, bringing entrepreneurs to that region. Large monopolies on lumber and animal products are also prevalent in Santiago and Pannenstiel. All of these businesses are connected with diesel trains that span the continent. As the various earlier philosophies continue to grow and factionalize, these turn into competing ideas that promote further progression and ingenuity from the younger generation. Radios become commonplace for media communication. One engineer claims that electricity can be more efficient than oil. As scientist explore mechanisms at smaller levels, it is theorized that all matter behaves like a particle and wave. Machine guns continue to improve with Andean supplies. Fatalities in surgeries are drastically reduced with modern medicine. Automobiles completely replace travel by horse. Submarines begin to be built for the purpose of breaking through northern ice caps. We continue to uphold the New Munich Declaration along with Algonquia, Reme, Mexaca, and Arcadia. An organization for promoting peace in the Pacific is established, whose members currently include Korea, China and Ayutthaya. Supplies and engineers are continually sent to the Timor Sultanate to improve their industry. As more industrial goods continue to pour in from Reme, Borealian entrepreneurs begin selling more oil, gold, lumber, and livestock to the East Coast. A new port is built on the north coast of Borealia with the purpose of accessing the Atlantic Ocean. The Borealian navy lays claim to the several islands in the Pacific, (OTL Marshall Islands, Nauru, and Micronesia) and these are merged together as an overseas territory. Borealia moves to annex Hawaii this year and incorporate it as a province of the Union. Retconned.
 * The Territory of Australia: The ports continue to be expanded and the new city of Dandiri is built on the Pacific Coast. As more businesses are taken up by Muslim natives, the German colonists begin migrating to the new communities farther inland. Schools and media centers are established that teach Borealianist philosophy along with essential education. An irrigation program continues to be designed, with the hopes of aiding settlements in the outback.
 *  Imperial Japanese Dip:  We strongly suggest that Borelia does not move to annex Hawaii this year for this may lead to war with Rome, for Rome has publically invested into keeping Hawaii independent. Retconned.
 * Czechia: We continue to build up our military. The building of a railroad throughout the nation continues. Factories continue to make railroad tracks. Our local railroads now attach to the European railroads that are being made. Many factories hire both men and women. The farming industry is still the biggest industry of the nation. Our border control team now allowes anyone into the nation. We are now allies with Poland and all the other Communist nations. We send troops to Silesia to attack them and help Poland.
 * Korea: Korea continues to build up its military. Meanwhile, more Taoist, Neo-Confucian and Buddhist temples are built. Taoism rises in popularity and gains more followers. Regular (read: not Imperial) Shinto gains a few more followers as well, mainly along the coastline in Southeastern Korea, particularly in Busan, Jejudo, Ulsan, and the coastal cities and coastal towns of Southern Gyeongsang Province. Mahayana Tao-Shintoism also continues to grow, and begins gaining followers from the areas where Shinto is growing, with some Shintoists switching to Mahayana Tao-Shintoism. The military in the colony of Haejagang (해자강) continues to be on high alert and continues to heavily patrol the Korean settlements. Monarch Heonjong continues to plan new reforms for Korea and continues investing heavily in technology and science. Meanwhile, industrialisation and modernisation continues in Korea (similar to OTL Japan's Meiji Restoration).
 * France: After the attacks in Central Paris, we begin to immediately blame Brittany for the attack, and hence our forces stationed on the border are ordered to invade the country and secure it for France. (War to be decided in algorithm). Meanwhile, our 10-Year Plan begins the first year of implementation, and with the birth of the People's Entente with the Orleans Conference last year, we invite Czechia to join the organization. As a result, many in our nation are optimistic about the future of France, and we begin a conscription program to allow our troops to increase. Meanwhile, the People's Republic of France decide to fund rebellions in Lombardy. the Netherlands and the Federal German Commonwealth to install Communist governments there.
 * Bavaro-German Dip: Bavaria takes note of French meddling in our country, and has thus expelled French agents, arrested Communist leaders, and is currently utilizing full civic force to crush any coup.
 * In Spain, the nation continues to prosper as a center of the arts and learning. The construction of new buildings, roads and other infrastructure continues. Spanish merchants and emissaries continue to sail around the world to expand the reach of Spanish in terms of wealth and diplomatic connections. Spanish also becomes a place where artists and intellectual minds meet and do things. It is cool. Due to the burgeoning growth of the economy, new jobs created in the five major cities lead to more people moving to the cities. Stronger cements are produced, whatever that means, leading to the construction of much taller buildings, especially in the major cities such as Zaragoza, Valencia, and Madrid. Steamboats and cars and railways and all sorts of cool modern stuff. Spain continues to lay claim to Antarctica and proposes a Trans-European rail link from Lisbon to Constantinople and Moscow. The construction of ships and weaponry continues. Aragon takes all the people from Edgistan. Boats and guns. Spain commissions a more ironclads based on the German designs. More artillery stuff.  Kerguelen is a crown possession of Spain. The Spanish government condemns the Communists. Spain continues to seek out dissenters in Communist France to weaken the French government's strength. Spain proposes the formation of an anti-Communist league. Spain extends a hand of friendship and protection toward Britanny. Spain also seeks the return of Gibraltar and Ceuta from Croatia. Spain also seeks to purchase Dutch West Africa for x million Spanish currency units. (Mod response.) Spanish people develop an automatic weapon. #NoMoreWikiaChanges
 * Prince Peter is crowned King of Algeria from the territory that was recently acquired. Algeria adopts the Spanish system of government and begins drafting a constitution and elections are planned. Algeria naturally supports Spain's anti-Communist stance and reaches out to Rome, Croatia, Bavaria, and the Caliphate to form alliances. Algeria expands 5000 sq km south as part a new nationalistic campaign to become a great nation in the African continent.
 * Navarre continues to fare well. As part of the new diarchy with Spain, Navarre begins to adopt Spanish customs. Navarre also adopts the Spanish currency for relative ease of commerce and finance. Navarre legalizes voting for all male Navarrese citizens above the age of 21. Navarre is also given representation in the newly expanded Spanish parliament as part of the union.
 * Dutch Dip: Rejected.
 * Caliphate Dip: Already having an alliance with Rome, we delay joining the league, as with the invasion of the Tartary is underway.
 * Bavaro-German Dip: Bavaro-Germany is a very liberal, socialist state, and our government and economy shares many fundamental tenets with Communist thought. However, the actions, policies, and leadership of the Communist nations of Poland and Russia, and others, are too hardline and borderline oppressive for Bavaria. Regardless, we will not join the anti-Communist league, BUT we will create a special alliance with Spain, unlike all other alliances currently standing. We hope this alliance will support socialist, liberal, and leftist governments in Europe, while battling extremist, oppressive Communist regimes at the same time.
 * People's Republic of Poland: General Secretary Sokoloff is pleased by Czechia's acceptance of the ultimatum and he makes a speech in the nation's capital of Prague with its new leader, Voivode Viktor Havel. General Secretary Sokoloff continues into year three of his Ten Year Plan of reforming Poland according to the principles and ideals Jakkopism-Ayernovism. He also agrees to Spain's proposal of a Trans-European rail link and says that it may go through Warsaw. Under the orders of the General Secretary, Foreign Minister Dubanowski sends another ultimatum, but instead to Silesia, demanding that Poland be allowed to install a Communist government or their will be war. HM Starek moves the 90,000 troops previously spread over the Czech border and concentrates them on the Silesian border. War is also declared upon Brittany in support of France's attack but only supplies are sent to the war for the moment as their is currently a home front war in Poland. After the relative current stalemate in the Czech-Polish Invasion of Silesia, HM Starek decides to raise 300,000 troops to attack Silesia. After the entry of Croatia into the war, the Foreign Minister prepares for surrender in the following year.
 * ​Silesian Dip: Rejected.
 * Polish Diplomacy: War is declared upon Silesia and the advance commences.
 * Morocco: The Kingdom of Morocco continues to improve its economy, infrastructure and build up its military, mainly the army and navy. Morocco continues to westernize the nation and the population continues to grow by adding 100,000 people every year. The population of Morocco now stands at 8.7 million people, while the number of military troops stands at 74,000 soldiers. Number of ships active in Moroccan Navy stands at 40 ironclad ships and 14 frigates. The nation expands by 1000 px per year to keep it stronger and independent, with a few new cities are built, roads and railroads are built between old and new cities. Fewer schools, colleges and more houses and mining planets are built. The mining plants produces materials coal and iron, which later used as products from industries. Industry continues improving and few factories are built along in cities, creating jobs for people of Morocco. A few docks and mosques are built. Two new museums are built and opened in cities of Marrakesh and Fes. As the Olympics Games stated in 1892 in Sparta, Morocco declares to join the Olympics as a attending country. Meanwhile, few new trains are produced and one new railway line are opened in service. 9 of 14 wooden frigates are upgraded to armored iron frigates built by Moroccan harbors in Essaouira and Safi. Sultan Aslal I continues to plan new reforms for Morocco and continues investing heavily in technology and science.
 * Croatia joins the war to defend Silesia. 
 * Algonquia continues to recover from the recent conflicts, with some portions of the military being demobilized. Algonquia's navy continues to grow, with a new battleship being commissioned this year, with ironclads perceived as increasingly outdated. Uzvards guns come into wide use in the army. Trade continues to grow, with newly open markets providing large amounts of wealth. A colony is founded on Kitlineq to bring more of the Arctic under Algonquian sovereignty, and expands along the coast, bringing Inuit bands under the Algonquian government. With Algonquia needing settlers for the prairies willing to farm, it begins offering free land to anyone willing to settle in the prairies, resulting in a rush for land. Algonquian emissaries advertise this in Central and Eastern Europe, notably in Carpathia, Czechia, Vlachia, Ruthenia, and Silesia, as well as in China. Tens of thousands of peasants, fleeing conflict-torn regions with serfdom often still in place, emigrate to Algonquia.
 * Sahtudene expands 5000 km along the Arctic Coast. Charting of the Northwest Passage continues, with an expedition finally reaching the Pacific in June this year. The railway linking Tuktoyaktuk with the south is completed, making it finally possible for large-scale Algonquian commerce with the Pacific to begin.
 * Lukaian continues to reinforce its Prussian and Livonian national identity, with the former national languages being revived, align with native Lucayan. Russian continue to emigrate back to Pskov or to Russia, while some Algonquians arrive. A local militia of 8000, plus a larger Algonquian garrison, is created. Large quantities of tea, coffee, sugar and rubber are grown to feed Algonquia's industrial sector.
 * The Caliphate: Drastically tries to develop military and the economy of the nation. We begin to construct the nation to its previous extent and glory. With the agreement with Rome, we begin to ease tensions with our previous enemy. Also, with the ownership of the entire Persian Gulf, we dominate trade in the region. We improve Mecca every year, donating a significant part of our treasury to the Holy City. A significant number of ships are built for our fleet. We resume to improve cities and establish the capital of the Caliphate as Baghdad, as for diplomatic reason, Mecca is impractical. We also start to press claims on Tartary-owned Persia and Central Asia. The Caliphate: with the war, we try to maintain our economy at a minimum. We begin to construct the nation to its previous extent and glory. With the agreement with Rome, we begin to ease tensions with our previous enemy. Also, with the ownership of the entire Persian Gulf, we dominate trade in the region. We improve Mecca every year, donating a significant part of our treasury to the Holy City. A significant number of ships are built for our fleet. We resume to improve cities and establish the capital of the Caliphate as Baghdad, as for diplomatic reason, Mecca is impractical. We also start to press claims on Tartary-owned Persia and Central Asia. We welcome and accept all trade proposals. Caliph Malik incorporates the old system of Shura, democratically electing the new Caliph after the current one those, however, with a little modification: Caliphs can be only elected from one of four houses, all of them requiring to claim to come from Prophet Muhammad: House Hashemite, House Abbasid, House Fatimid, and the Alids or House of Ali, to please the Shias living in the realm. With the conference taking place in Baghdad; many expect it to last at least a year, and two at most. As with most nations, we partcipate in the Olympic Games. With claims on Tartar Central America and Persia, we jointly invade the Tartary with Communist Russia. In addition to this, we hold the Treaty of Armenia with Croatia and Rome, discussing several border exchanges in Armenia and Africa.

 * Yea, I did ~Josh
 * Emeraldie: New construction starts on the nation's ports, farms and mines to increase the nation's exports and economic strength. The new royal palace is complete and the king makes a speak on how Emeraldie is the true successor of France and promises the people a grand and prosperous future. The government enacts several new policies designed to encourage the industrialisation of the nation. We expand 500px into the continents interior.
 * Emeraldie Pacific Territories: The first colonists and missionaries arrive in the region after the Emeraldian government portrays the territories as a lush tropical paradise. A naval base begins construction in Tahiti. The territory is expanded to include the Cook islands and Tokelau.
 * Andea: Military begins to downsize, from 675,000 to 600,000. The Hesperia First party continues to grow. The military draft is met with mixed reactions, with many seeing it as a positive though many also comment that it increases the power and influence of the military. The industrial expansion slows, creating a minor panic in Andea. The normalization of Relations with Germany leads to increased trade, and an increased desire with bi-lateral relations with the UGK, seeing them as a good counter for Communist France. Population hits 41 million this year, with most of them being Quechua-Spanish Meztizos. Quechua remains the first language for most of the nation's residents. The government passes the Torrez-Sanchez Act, dictating election reforms, laws of succession for the president, and laws regarding running mates. Starting in the 1888 election, all presidents will pick their own vice president. Despite the ongoing war, the National Party remains popular in the countrysides of both Peru and the Amazon, though many major cities see the rise of the Hesperia First Reactionary Party. With the ongoing turmoil in Europe, both in the German wars and the Spanish wars, Andea increases the number of visas the government is able to administer. Average yearly wage sees a slight decrease from 486 Reals to 484 Reals, while the number of days a worker works a year increases from 355 to 356. Average work day remains at 11 hours. The tariff is raised to sponsor the rise of domestic industry, though this is unpopular in the rural areas of Apeac and the Amazon. The income tax remains set at 10% on those making more than 500 Reals and 5% for those making more than 300 reals. The average price of land remains 50 cents per acre, a 5% increase from 1850. With the Re-Admittance of Vorylaycor coming next year, the federal government ends the occupation. The federal government issues a formal apology for the burning of North Eastern Nov Xoyron, and spends considerable funds to reconstruct the city.
 * Osean Confederation: With the outbreak of war, the nation rapidly develops its industry and military to fit the need for war. Railroads are bulit up to allow the quick transfer of natural resources and industrial goods. The nation offically adopts conscription, raising a military of 150,000 men. Population stands at eight million, with the largest republic in the confederation being North Osea, with a popualtion of 1.3 Million people. Average yearly wage increases to 360 reals. Average work day remains at ten hours. The nation remains mostly Spanish in culture, though Quechua remains the most spoken language (though not the widest used or largest first language) with 66% of the population being able to speak Quechua, as opposed to 59% being able to speak Spanish. As stated, Spanish is still the most used langue and 48% of Oseans listing Spanish as their first language (as opposed to 36% listing Quechua as their first language). One thing of note regarding the lingustics of Osea is the dialect or diction of Spanish and Quechua. While Quechua in Andea and Osea is the same language, Quechua has Latin style pronunciation as opposed to traditional Quechua, while the areas once held by the British have a Germanic Influence on them. Spanish sees a similar development, with the larger, more traditionally Spanish republics using a high, traditonal diction as opposed to areas such as Paraguay, Santiago and Cordoba which have lower diction, noticeably different from that of Europeans.
 * Pagatonia: Pagatonia continues to recover from its occupation by the once stagnant British Empire. The nation Pagatonia has three republics that will be admitted to Osea over the course of the next ten years. The first is the Republic of South Argentina, with one million people, to be admitted next year. The second is the Republic of Pagatonia, with a population of 600,000. The third is the Republic of New Spain, with a population of 240,000.
 * Roman Empire: The Empire is now at a period of peace and prosperity after a long period of war and uncertainty. Roman trade routes stretch across most of the world in the pursuit of wealth and trade goods and Roman military might remains a powerful force in Europe and other parts of the world. The Roman central government does what it can to address all of the issues of the various archonates within the Empire and ensure that their needs are met even as they help instill strength in the central government. Railroads are constructed around the nation to help connect the Empire and its peoples and steamships are used for much the same purpose on water. To further strengthen its position in Africa, the Roman government begins to make official claims in the Saharan desert north of Egypt's southern border. However, some in the Empire scoff at this, suggesting that the Empire is wasting its time claiming barren land and should focus on more resourceful areas of Africa, Asia or Europe. As European interest in Africa begins to heat up, Roman officials begin exploring possible resources or benefits from extended interaction with Madagascar, and trade and diplomats are directed there to assess the situation. Trade also expands with Hawaii, which becomes an impressive conduit of trade for Roman merchants and businesses. As such, the Empire takes an interest in Hawaii, but rather than try to annex it, as it is too far from Roman authority to do so, Roman officials instead would like to see a strong and friendly Hawaii. Weapons and officers are sent to Hawaii to help train their soldiers and protect their independence. The Roman Empire responds to the increased activity of Communist insurgency in other nations in Europe by adopting a more aggressive stance. Troops are sent to Gothia and Ruthenia to protect against potential Communist aggression from the north, and the Roman Empire begins making overtures towards Croatia, Transylvania and Vlachia to prepare their defences. The Roman Empire also deploys more troops to Italy to present a clear vanguard against potential aggression from Communist France or Lombardy, which is seen as soon falling to Communists while the Roman Empire is forbidden by treaty to intervene. Roman forces continue to battle remnants of the French African forces, who by the end of the year are largely defeated by Roman forces. However, fighting is still ongoing in the fringes of the desert between die-hard loyalists and some Berber tribes. Berbers from Barbaria and French exiles are brought in to help Roman administration of the new territory while Roman engineers and industrialists work hard to help restore basic utilities and transportation for the people. Telephone lines are laid and railroads repaired as part of the general effort. The Senatorial Olympic Committee explores the possibility of restarting the Olympics, and narrows down the choice of cities between Sparta and Patras, both in southern Greece near the original site of Olympia.
 * Ethiopia: We will send small delegation of athletes to the Olympic Games.
 * Reme: Reme begins to build up its military and economy. Reme elects a new president and starts to build up its navy. Meanwhile, trade is improved on, with industrialization, mainly former Byzantine areas slowly being introduced to populous areas. Lumber, cash crops, and other goods become a major export of Reme, and starts getting Reme a jump-start into the European economy. There is also the creation ofNew navy ships, to help modernize the Reman navy. Reme continues its current expansion into the native dark-grey clusterfuck, expanding another 150 pixels into it. Coal mines are built, and starts churning out coal at a consistent rate. Coal mining plants are also started to be upgraded. Reme also starts very slowly changing its focus to industrial things, with a nation wide railroad being considered to be built. Industrialization of river areas continue, as well as the production of textiles to cheaper the price of Reman cotton. Meanwhile a Socialist-based party starts to gain seats in parliament, with plans to make Reme a more self-sufficient state. People are getting anxious over the threat of Communism to Reme, and vote on the crackdown of Communist sympathizers and their families.
 * Protectorate of Wolof: Wolof begins to build up its military and economy. Reman food and supplies come in to help the formerly starving nation, as well as the Reman military to help sustain order. Some representation is given in the Reman Parliament, to give Wolof a minimal say in how Reme should be run. Meanwhile, plans to industrialize the coastal areas as well as plans for fortifications are presented, and are started to be worked on.
 * Federal Commonwealth of Germany: Capital: Augsburg; Other cities: Wittelsbach, Munich, Vienna, Venice, Berlin; Population: 40.2 million. Commonly known as Bavaro-Germany. Brief history: Bavaro-Germany traces its roots to the Duchy of Bayern-Landshut. Over the course of the fifteenth-century, Bayern-Landshut was able to grow large enough to re-unite the fractured Duchy of Bavaria. In the sixteenth century, Bavaria made territorial gains in Saxony, Thuringia, and Swabia, as well as colonial advancements in Borealia.. In the seventeenth century, Bavaria helped to dismantle the Austrian monarchy, and won Brandenburg, Pomerania, and northern Austria as a result. In the eighteenth century, after a war with Spain, Bavaria acquired Venezia and several colonial holdings. A series of power-struggles and civil wars in the 1750s and 1760s changed Bavaria greatly, transforming it from a noble, feudal state to a high-class power. A further revolution in the 1790s federalized the country. In the 1870s and 1880s, lower-class revolts succeeded in abolishing the monarchy and instituting a left-wing government. Throughout its history, Bavaria has engendered a distinctive liberal tradition, including the Bavarian Commands of the 1490s, the Austrian Reconstruction in the 1660s, and Marian Commands in the 1790s, all of which events or documents greatly impacted the social, legal, and political fabric of the Bavarian nation.
 * National Developments: The grain, coal and railway industries remain heavily regulated. The Liberal Party remains in power in Augsburg. Women enter the national stage as ancient laws are repealed. However, many politicians fight to have women kept out of the government. In Stuttgart, the German Unification Party earns much support and attracts the eye of Hamburgian leadership. Markus Helenkamp wins the national chancellery elections of 1890, and continues to support German unification. In other news, the government catches on to French efforts to stage a Communist coup in Bavaro-Germany. In response to this, Communist leaders are arrested, deported, or stripped of public service.
 * Commonwealth of Bavaria:  The army is expanded, and the economy expands as well. Liberals maintain dominance in national government as conservatives retain the blame for economic disaster. Bavaria maintains alliances with Hamburg, Rome, France, Croatia, and Scandinavia. Markus Helenkamp continues serving as Chancellor, with elections coming up in 1895.
 * Commonwealth of Austria: The army and navy are expanded, as is the economy. Vienna remains a center of music, writing, art, and political power. The current governor is Leonardo von Benekat serving from 1885 to 1890. The Curia Austria remains one of the more moderate legislatures in the country, and is lax on regulation and economics. The Austrian Diet begins discussing universal suffrage for women. The Austrian Diet, mostly stocked with liberals, agrees to vote in women suffrage. Women above the age of 20 are able to vote beginning on June 1.
 * Commonwealth of Brandenburg: The army is expanded, as is the economy. Berlin remains an important city in Germany, and hosts a large economic center for the whole country. Mikael von Urbacher is governor. The Liberal Party enacts a series of far-left reforms that slap heavy regulations on child labor and establishes government watchdog groups for several manufacturing companies. In Berlin, the Democratic Federal party is founded, advocating leftist policies and a strong central government. It is led by Magnus Alischermann. The Democrat Federalists are opposed by the older Berlin Conservatives, who advocate monarchism and social conservatism.
 * Commonwealth of Pomerania: The army and navy are expanded. Pomerania remains an important port for the country. The Curia Pomerania stands as a center-right beacon for German politics.
 * Commonwealth of Venezia: The army and navy are expanded. Venice remains one of the oldest and culturally diverse cities and ports in Germany, providing the country with a large Italian population. The Curia Venexia supports a largely center-left composure, supporting economic regulation to a limited degree and supporting most social liberal policies.
 * Commonwealth of Bremen: The army and navy are expanded. Bremen remains one of the most important and strategically located ports in all of the country. Being a part of Germany since the middle ages, the port of Bremen has served it loyally and is thus made a full commonwealth of the German nation. The political scene is moderately liberal.
 * Commonwealth of Pearl River: The army and navy are expanded. Pearl River was established as a colonial Borealian outpost hundreds of years ago, and due to its loyalty, is made a full commonwealth in Germany. The political scene is very centrist. Pro-Borealian and Pro-independence movements collapse by 1886 in face of the war, and pro-Bavarian movements rise in their place. Despite the collapse of radical movements, the government of Pearl River graciously accepts Borealian aid and agrees to cover the logistical cost. In 1890, the Federal government allows Pearl River to hold a referendum on the future of its status in the world. Voting, which will be open to both men, and women, provided they are citizens, will consist of one question: What should the political status of Pearl River be after 1891? The following answers are: A commonwealth of Bavaro-Germany; a part of the Remian Republic; a part of Borealia; or Independent. Voting will take place in 1890, while the results will be revealed in 1891.
 * Mexaca continues to industrial growth.
 * Ethiopia: Continues to expand trade into eastern Europe. Slow westernization begins as nobels and merchants begin to adopt the languages of Croatian, Coptic and Greek.
 * Ban Republic of Croatia (Banska Republika Hrvatska): Sewerage systems similar to Ragusan ones are built in major towns of the Archvoivodeship. With growing Ragusan influence, and the beginning of further colonization, the navy expands rapidly using much of the Ragusan expertise. Moreover, with the influx of new resources in form of lumber, labour and metals, the navy begins expanding at a fast rate. More and more ships capable of crossing the Atlantic with ease are built. The Sabor intends to restore the glorious naval culture of the Neretva peoples and plans to do so by expanding the navy. The kravata (tie) is more and more used as an accessory. Trade routes are strengthened and the salt mines around Tuzla are explored as well as the salt industry in Pag and Nin. Using irrigation from the Danube, Sava, Drava, Drina, Cetina, Una, Vrbaš, Kupa, Neretva and other rivers the fields in the kingdom are developed, used for crops such as wheat, rye and barley. With trade routes increasing and Croatia entering an era of peace and of stability, the development of new trade ships is issued. Stone mining is furthered as well as the timber industry. The need for these resources rises as urbanization carries on. Iron ores in Dugopolje, Zenice and at last the 'mud' ore in Vojvodina and Eastern Slavonia are to be exploited alongside the silver and copper ores more frequently and of better quality than the iron ores. The exploitation of iron ores in the Lika and Gorski kotar areas continues. The salt industry in Ston is funded by the government. The influx of resources from Dahomey aids the economy. However, the government makes sure that the gold arriving isn't immediately put on the market in order to control the inflation in the worth of gold. The silver mine in Srebrenica is mined. The administrative reform continues. Kotor Saraka (Adelaide) continues to expand. With the spread of Communism, and the influence of utopian and other ideas, the numerous progressive burghers and nobility of Croatia create the concept of Transitional Communism (a combination of Luxemburgism, Council Communism, Titoism and Socialism) which will serve as a transitional phase until true Communism can be achieved. On a partially related note, the nation is renamed to the Ban Republic of Croatia wit the voting right extended to wealthy citizens as well as the nobility.
 * Županija Dahomey: The natural resources are quickly put to use, such as coconuts, cotton both refined and raw as well as the gold. Finally, the wood industry prospers as materiel is needed for new ships that would help keep the connection between Croatia and Dahomey strong.
 * Isles of the Archvoivodeship (Otoci Nadvojvodstva): The infrastructure is built up.
 * Županija of Hercules Pillars' (Županija Herkulovih Stupova): The županija's pivotal position as a trade nod creates an a sufficite allowing for the economy to expand.
 * Ban Republic of Carantania (Banska Republika Karantanija): Being Alpine Slavic nation, the leaders begin a programme to create a standardized Carantanian language that will reflect on both the Slavic and Alpine (Germanic) aspects of Carantania.
 * Sukadang Županija: Croatization. Expansion onto the other parts of Borneo.
 * Empire of Lanka: The Lankan government focuses on industrialization. Dutch architecture and infrastructure such as canal design continue to influence Lankan culture. The army continues to be one of the most modern in Asia due to Dutch support. The Lankan army stays supplied with up-to-date with the newest rifles, side arms, and artillery. The army maintains Dutch military structure with infantry, cavalry, and artillery. They continue to train in Dutch tactics and warfare. As the populations move to the cities, more and more men are recruited in the Lankan army. The most recent census taken in 1860, accounts for 2,992,224 citizens. Although the expansion of Dutch trade ports in Lanka have stopped, they continue to be in heavy use with expansion of trade in Asia. Significant urbanization causes the cities of Waardige, Sri Jaywardenepura Kotte, Kandy, Kalmunai, and Galle, to be flooded with people. Waardige continues to be a trade, technological and industrial center in Asia. The complex Waardige canal system continues to be used for trade. The Kust Weg continues to be used, mostly for military reasons. The Island Spoorwegmaatschappij (ISW: Island Rail Company) is formed by the government, which begins to use experimental railroads. The first railroad by the company is built in the same path as Kust Weg and is named Kust Spoorweg. Religion in the empire continues to be mixed with the three main religions of Hinduism, Buddhism and Dutch Reformist being worshipped on the main island while there are a few animist natives on Nava Kotte. The previous education reform instituted by Ranjit I continues to be working successfully. The Lankan navy continues to be up-to-date with Dutch-supplied warships and the shared ownership of an ironclad. The provincie system instituted in 1773 is changed to be less feudal and more bureaucratic, which basically turns them into an administrative division. The the title of the head of the provincie is changed from Count to Emperor's Commissioner. The King's Commissioner is also the head of the parliament (provinciale staten) in the provincie. Along with there being provinciale statens, a main parliament is also created. This main parliament will be assembled on the Emperor's command, and is used to decide issues, create public projects, and pass laws for the whole empire. Last year the emperor called the main parliament to discuss the issue of public education and the idea of the creating a constitution. The Emperor and the parliament passed the Compulsory Education Act of 1886, which states that education in Lanka for the ages of five to ten is compulsory. In elementary school the children learn Sinhala and Dutch (Reading and Writing) and basic Mathematics. Also incorporated in this act is an edict against children working over thirteen hours a day. The emperor and parliament also created a constitution that officially set up the bureaucratic system. Last year parliament wanted to start to pursue a policy of faster industrialization, and to do this they passed the Edict of 1888 which abolished the caste system and slavery as well.

 * In the Grand Union (Pskov), the GDP rises along with average wages. The Inter-Republic Road network is expanded. The Science and technology aspect of Pskov is not overlooked either. As prosperity in the nation increases, the amount of money and new people investing in institutions of higher learning. As such, the various schools that existed in Nizhegorodsk-Na-Narve unite and form the "University of Nizhegorodsk", beginning a rivalry between it and Pskov. The Pskovians want to encourage emigration from Russia, and are somewhat more successful with the Muscovite serfs, who can move around freely with their landlord's consent. This puts many issues with the leadership of Novgorod and Muscovy, who think Pskov is just looking for a fight. The ruble is becoming more and more used and is becoming the unofficial currency of Russia. The idea of currency reform, to reform it to a decimal system is put out, in order to simplify much trade (even though it is already simple enough with multiples of 20). Zlatobrezhie becomes wealthier and wealthier as more people get used to over 100 years of Pskovian governance. A side-loading rifle is introduced to the armed forces. A rapid-fire firearm is invented with a rotating multiple barrels, crank-powered (OTL Gatling gun) by Genrik Uzvards, a Latvian. It is subsequently named the Uzvard Gun, and several are commissioned by the government. Meanwhile, an attempt at making an electrically-powered light source are now common amongst the science community, and a reward of 10,000 zolotniks is offered to the first to give the Pskov Academy of Sciences a working, feasible prototype. The Conservatives set up another "International Slavic Congress", and invites representatives from all slavic nations to join a celebration of traditions that unite all slavs in Pskov. Last year's election results are as follows: The Grand Union looks to the east with despair. The Government officially refuses to recognize the Socialist Republic, and decides to advance some forces in, promising assylum to all current residents. Many flee in the coming months, the Grand Union sends agents into Russia for the smuggling of human refugees fleeing the "red terror". Fortifications are built along the demilitarized zone, and some schools begin to "black out" captured areas on maps, calling them the "occupied territories". The first election since 1880 is held this year, with the Liberal government and the now-rebranded New Democratic Party competing against one another, and using the fact that their government defended the nation against the Communists, with the NDP condemning what they see as "false socialism" in the bordering Communist nations. The Opposition, the Christian Social Union and National-Conservative Parties attempt to associate the cause of the war to the Liberal-New Socialist coalition. The Agrarian Party gains much support in Belarus, which suffered the most in the war, because they are a party that voted against a war that lost them a lot of territory, and many voters their homes(due to mass evacuations with pending Communist advances). Because of votes being split between the Christians and the Conservatives, and the great animosity between those two parties, and the voting system(esentially a series of run-off elections untill one person gets more than 50%). In the end of the campaign, the United Liberals and New Democrats barely manage to scratch an unsafe minority coalition government with the support of the unaligned members. The Communist party failed to gain even a single deputee (with many candidatges being disqualified for dubious reasons, leading to mass Communist boycotts of the election, leading to no representation). The final results are as follows: A Government is formed by the United Liberal Party, controlling 328 seats, and the New Democratic Party, controlling 91 seats. The Opposition is represented in an official capacity by the Christian Social Union, controlling 201 seats. The Government is also opposed by the National Conservative Party, controlling 115 setas, the Agrarian Party, controling 51 seats, the Lithuanian Nationalist Union, controlling 42 setas, the Latvian National Democratic Coalition, controlling 26 seats, and the Industrialist faction, loosely represented by 24 seats. 89 members sit without allegiance, and 33 seats are vacant. One of the first acts of this government is to send out envoys to Spain, Rome, and Both Germanies in order to discuss the possibility of an alliance in order to "defend and fight the forces of extremism"
 * Duchy of Oldenburg:' Our diplomats in Bavaria continue to hammer out the principles of German Unification. One last warship is sent to Algonquia persuant of the treaty, economy expands.
 * Imperial Japan: The book On The Hamburgian War is published and it chronicles the events of the Hamburgian War, the first modern war Japan has entered. It also writes down the strategies and taticts of the war. Thus, military academies pop up and use the book as a guide and many young men are enlisted to the Imperial Japanese Military and massive military build up happens. We declare war on the Tartary by joining on the side of Russia and the Caliphate and send 30,000 soldiers to the Tartary. The 10,000 soldiers from the Hamburgian War return home in victory and are hailed as national Japanese heroes and there is a massive parade as a result of the victory and those who lived and died hold the highest honors in Japan, and shall forever go down in Japanese history as heroes. As a result of this victory, there is a surge of Japanese nationalism across the empire, for the tradition of both Japanese honor to our allies and Japanese militarism has resulted in the unification of the Phillipines under Japanese rule, the fuffilliment of our debt to Borelia, and a new friend, our former enemy Hamburg. These positive results ensure that the Japanese way is the best way, and we continue our militarism. While the war increased the build up of our industry, it also negatively effected the economy. As such, we continue to fund our military and work on our economy. In order to build up our economy, we propose a trade pact with all the participants of the Great Hamburgian War. We also send emergency aid to those afflicted by the tsunami in China by giving them food, water, and shelter. We begin rebuilding our military and expand our Papau territories.


 * ​Japanese Manchuria: In order to fuel our modernization of the mainland, mines are built on a massive scale in Japanese Manchuria as well as farms to grow food for the mainland. We encourage young Japanese males to immigrate to the sparsely populated Manchuria to build it up and we reward them large plots of land. Ports are also built up as well as railroads to link the mining and farming. Factories also pop up as well as schools and hospitals. We heavily invest in industrializing Japanese Manchuria. Econ/mil turn./
 * Japanese Formosa: We invest in Formosa by implementing a massive railroad construction program as well as port construction to further the transportation of Formosa. We implement a program of both industry and agriculture in Formosa, with the industry being for Japan and the agriculture being for Formosa. We also make massive public education reform in Formosa. Industry also speeds up as a result of the wartime economy. Econ/mil turn. ' 
 * Japanese Shanghai: We industrialize Shanghai and upgrade its port and infrastructure, including education. We have Shanghai specialize in shipbuilding and trading, making it a hub for trade in East Asia. We rapidly increase port building to make this city a hub for trade.
 * Northern Philippines: We welcome the former French Philippines into our empire and we begin expanding its infrastructure and industry by constructing railroads, bridges, schools, hospitals, ports, etc. We also expand our economy.
 * Southern Philippines: We welcome the former Hamburgian Philippines into our empire and we begin expanding its infrastructure and industry by constructing railroads, bridges, schools, hospitals, ports, etc. We also expand our economy. 
 * Ruthenia: The Ruthenians continue to expand industry as a way to repair the economy after the end of the war. More and more people move to the city from the country in pursuit of jobs.

 * Indian Empire: Queen Nur Jehan was proclaimed the Empress of India on 1888, starting a new era. The Indian population rose to about 318,772,000, and the flocking of the people to coastal cities continued, with a mass increase of population in Kolkata, Mahmudpur, Karachi, Mumbai, Surat and various other minor cities and townships throughout the state. The Indian army, equipped with semi-modern armaments stood at 720,000 troops with an additional 250,000 reserves whilst the Imperial Guard was composed of 20,000 troops and the armament industry thrived on local and national level, with armaments rarely imported from foreign nations. The Indian navy experimented on ironclads and had started production of larger classes of steam engine ships, churning out first rate ironclads for various fleets, and more third rates, and fourth rates with the occasional second rate to augment the smaller patrol fleets with 40% of the national navy harboured at the Andaman and Kolkata ports. In agriculture was the largest economic focus of Bengal, exporting various crops to foreign nations with the international jute and cotton textile production largely under Indian control. Along the same time, the Indian Renaissance were in full swing, with movements such as the Young India movement having aided in national modernisation and a massive rise in literacy and education. Moreover, promotion of industrialisation and capitalism allowed the Imperial authorities to construct a Trans-National Railway, connecting the entire Empire as well as introduction of many other commodities such as telephones. The Queen of India gives moral support to the Caliphate in the war against the Tatar infidels. [Mil/Eco Turn]
 * Khedivate of Bahamani: The Capital of Bahamani was Hyderabad and the population was 60.2 million. The Bahamani military was modernised, standing at roughly 80,000 and a major port and naval base was constructed at Mahmudpur, with 25% of the national navy harboured at Bahamani ports. In the economic sector, rice played the role as a major food crop to be exported. However, other important crops such as cotton, sugar cane, mango and tobacco maintained a major presence in Bahamanis exports as well. About the same time, the Bahamani textile and fishery industries reached new heights.
 * Khedivate of Punjab: The Capital of Punjab was Lahore and the population was 45.8 million. The Punjabi military was modernised, standing at roughly 160,000. In the economic sector, wheat played the role as a major food crop to be exported. However, other important crops such as rice, cotton, cotton and ruits maintained a major presence in Punjabs exports as well. About the same time, the Punjabi rock-salt, sugar and leather industries were of significant importance as well.
 * Khedivate of Vijaynagar: The Capital of Vijaynagar was Coimbatore and the population was 36.4 million. The Vijaynagari military was modernised, standing at roughly 120,000 with 15% of the national navy harboured at Vijaynagari ports. In the economic sector, rice played the role as a major food crop to be exported. However, other important crops such as tea, sugar cane, mango and tobacco maintained a major presence in Vijaynagars exports as well. About the same time, the Vijaynagari fishery and leather industries were of significant importance as well. Vijaynagar requests the Roman Empire to return the city of Chennai to its rightful owners, Vijaynagar.
 * United German Kingdoms: New Mecklenburg in Australia expands by 750 px. UGK athletes make plans to attend the first modern Olympiad in Sparta next year. The government also begins putting together a plan to propose that the City of Hamburg host the 1900 Olympics. When word of the Czech rebellion reaches Hamburg, citizens cheered in the streets glad to see that people will not stand for being oppressed by Communism. The UGK begins funding underground anti-Communist resistance movements, particularly both pro-democratic and royalist supporters. Communists back home in the UGK fare poorly, with speakers sent from France or Poland dragged off their podiums by angry mobs, the lucky one get away with broken bones, the unlucky ones are found lynched from street lights and telegram/telephone poles to chants of "Go home, Communists!" from the angry mod in question. In light of rising tensions in the shipping lanes, a ship or two is assigned to a merchant convoy as an escort, just in case a Communist gets a little over-aggressive.


 * People's Republic of Poland: After the sudden turn of the war in favour of Silesia with the entrance of Croatia, Foreign Minister Dubanowski offers a peace treaty sending reparations to Silesia and Croatia for any costs caused by the war. The Foreign Minister is surprised by the rebellion in Czechia and the 600,000 troops now open after the end of the recent war are sent to help the government. He also continues funding and promoting peaceful Communist organizations in Silesia, Slovakia, Croatia, Romania, Transylvania, Pskov, and Ruthenia. General Secretary Sokoloff is outraged by the rebellion in Czechia, but continues implementation of his Ten Year Plan, now on its fourth year, with partial collectivization almost complete throughout the nation. The increased food and other resource outputs from the new reforms have led increased production in factories in the country as well.
 * Croatia: Accepts the peace treaty.
 * Silesia Also accepts the peace treaty.


 * Korea: Korea continues to build up its military. Meanwhile, more Taoist, Neo-Confucian and Buddhist temples are built. Taoism rises in popularity and gains more followers. Regular (read: not Imperial) Shinto gains a few more followers as well, mainly along the coastline in Southeastern Korea, particularly in Busan, Jejudo, Ulsan, and the coastal cities and coastal towns of Southern Gyeongsang Province. Mahayana Tao-Shintoism also continues to grow, and begins gaining followers from the areas where Shinto is growing, with some Shintoists switching to Mahayana Tao-Shintoism. The military in the colony of Haejagang (해자강) continues to be on high alert and continues to heavily patrol the Korean settlements. Monarch Heonjong continues to plan new reforms for Korea and continues investing heavily in technology and science. Meanwhile, industrialisation and modernisation continues in Korea (similar to OTL Japan's Meiji Restoration). Monarch Heonjong writes up a constitution, and soon Korea turns into a Constitutional Monarchy. Monarch Heonjong also reforms the government, and creates a Parliament and a Prime Minister position. Elections start up near the end of the year for the Prime Minister position and results will be in next year.
 * BoraliaFlag.png Union of Borealia: Both the economy and military improve across all the provinces of the Union. The thriving industries now run entirely on petroleum, procured from the oil collected from Alaska and California. While the traditional hearts of each city, particularly New Vienna, continue to reflect the same idyllic Baroque style, newer expansions to these urban centers are packed with factories and other industrial equipment. Cities recently built in southern California and northern Alaska are much more developed, as some parts of the Kiatagmiut province are almost unrecognizable. The economy of the Union stems from the exportation of natural resources. San Francisco and Mamterlliq continue to be the main centers of the gold trade, while oil wells begin to speckle the coastal range of California. More oil wells are built in Upper Alaska, bringing entrepreneurs to that region. Large monopolies on lumber and animal products are also prevalent in Santiago and Pannenstiel. All of these businesses are connected with diesel trains that span the continent. As the various earlier philosophies continue to grow and factionalize, these turn into competing ideas that promote further progression and ingenuity from the younger generation. Radios become commonplace for media communication, although this year the first full full-length movie is released, All's Quiet on the Visayas. New Munich becomes the first city partially run on electrical power. As scientist explore mechanisms at smaller levels, it is theorized that all matter behaves like a particle and wave. Machine guns continue to improve with Andean supplies. Fatalities in surgeries are drastically reduced with modern medicine. Automobiles completely replace travel by horse. Submarines begin to be built for the purpose of breaking through northern ice caps. We continue to uphold the New Munich Declaration along with Algonquia, Reme, Mexaca, and Arcadia. An organization for promoting peace in the Pacific is established, whose members currently include Korea, China and Ayutthaya.  As more industrial goods continue to pour in from Reme, Borealian entrepreneurs begin selling more oil, gold, lumber, and livestock to the East Coast. A new port is built on the north coast of Borealia with the purpose of accessing the Atlantic Ocean, and expeditions farther north continue. Intense training is made among the best athletic programs in Neuosterriech in preparation for the Olympic Games.
 * The Territory of Australia: The ports continue to be expanded and the new city of Dandiri is built on the Pacific Coast. As more businesses are taken up by Muslim natives, the German colonists begin migrating to the new communities farther inland. Schools and media centers are established that teach Borealianist philosophy along with essential education. An irrigation program continues to be designed, with the hopes of aiding settlements in the outback. Supplies and engineers are continually sent to the Timor Sultanate to improve their industry.
 * The Borealian Maritime Territory: Naval bases continue to be built to enforce claims on several islands (OTL Marshall Islands, Nauru and Micronesia). A major naval base is constructed on the Island of Midway in the Republic of Hawaii. Moving farther east, the Borealian navy lays claim to a few additional islands (OTL Mariana Islands, Guam and Palau).
 * Ruthenia: The Ruthenians continue to expand industry as a way to repair the economy after the end of the war. More and more people move to the city from the country in pursuit of jobs.
 * France: Our military continues to smash through Breton defenses, as we begin to send more troops to fight there. Meanwhile, we hereby condemn the Czech people for their rebellion, and we immediately begin a military buildup on the Bavaro-French border. This is used as a move to keep the Bavaro-Germans in check, and our forces are ready to fire against the Roman Navy on the Mediterranean. Meanwhile, we begin to use our agents as part of a rescue operation to liberate Communists in Bavaro-Germany, (RNG as to whether success or failure), and this is used as part of a bigger plan to install pro-Communist governments. We continue funding Communists in Lombardy and the Netherlands, and begin instigating Communist rebellions in Spain as well. Meanwhile, the Ten-Year Plan to rebuild France continues its implementation, and with the People's Entente losing a potential member, we decide to ask for interference on Poland and Russia's behalf against Czechia in order to protect the Communist government there. In local news, we begin industrialize our economy, and providing new technologies to the French people.
 * Bavaro-German Dip: In order to divert conflict, the Bavarian government is willing to release and/or extrade Communist leaders currently imprisoned in our country. Communist leaders may live in France or, if we are willing, continue to live and work in Bavaria. However, any Communist person, whether native Bavarian or French, must not instigate rebellion or a coup. We look kindly upon political protest and free speech, but we draw a clear line between free speech and agitation.
 * Imperial Japan: After the Emperor has expressed his desire to spread the greatness of modern Japan to the rest of Asia he and his close advisors met on how to do this. During this time, the Emperor found out that he was a direct descendant of the Chinese Emperor Xu Fu, as various sources state that he died in Japan and he started the Japanese Royal Lineage. In light of this information, pamphlets are published stating how Emperor of Japan is a direct descendant of Emperor Xu Fu, as well as how great the standard of living is of modern Imperial Japan in comparison to the Shun Dynasty, thus the only logical conclusion is that the Emperor of Japan has the true Mandate of Heaven. The pamphlets are distributed via the various Japanese ports on mainland China. The book On The Hamburgian War is published and it chronicles the events of the Hamburgian War, the first modern war Japan has entered. It also writes down the strategies and taticts of the war. Thus, military academies pop up and use the book as a guide and many young men are enlisted to the Imperial Japanese military and massive military build up happens. We declare war on the Tartary by joining on the side of Russia and the Caliphate and send 30,000 soldiers to the Tartary. The 10,000 soldiers from the Hamburgian War return home in victory and are hailed as national Japanese heroes and there is a massive parade as a result of the victory and those who lived and died hold the highest honors in Japan, and shall forever go down in Japanese history as heroes. As a result of this victory, there is a surge of Japanese nationalism across the empire, for the tradition of both Japanese honor to our allies and Japanese militarism has resulted in the unification of the Philippines under Japanese rule, the fulfillment of our debt to Borelia, and a new friend, our former enemy Hamburg. These positive results ensure that the Japanese way is the best way, and we continue our militarism. While the war increased the build up of our industry, it also negatively effected the economy. As such, we continue to fund our military and work on our economy. In order to build up our economy, we propose a trade pact with all the participants of the Great Hamburgian War. We also send emergency aid to those afflicted by the tsunami in China by giving them food, water, and shelter. We begin rebuilding our military and expand our Papau territories.
 * ​Japanese Manchuria: In order to fuel our modernization of the mainland, mines are built on a massive scale in Japanese Manchuria as well as farms to grow food for the mainland. We encourage young Japanese males to immigrate to the sparsely populated Manchuria to build it up and we reward them large plots of land. Ports are also built up as well as railroads to link the mining and farming. Factories also pop up as well as schools and hospitals. We heavily invest in industrializing Japanese Manchuria. Econ/mil turn./
 * Japanese Formosa: We invest in Formosa by implementing a massive railroad construction program as well as port construction to further the transportation of Formosa. We implement a program of both industry and agriculture in Formosa, with the industry being for Japan and the agriculture being for Formosa. We also make massive public education reform in Formosa. Industry also speeds up as a result of the wartime economy. Econ/mil turn. ' 
 * Japanese Shanghai: We industrialize Shanghai and upgrade its port and infrastructure, including education. We have Shanghai specialize in shipbuilding and trading, making it a hub for trade in East Asia. We rapidly increase port building to make this city a hub for trade.
 * Northern Philippines: We welcome the former French Philippines into our empire and we begin expanding its infrastructure and industry by constructing railroads, bridges, schools, hospitals, ports, etc. We also expand our economy.
 * Southern Philippines: We welcome the former Hamburgian Philippines into our empire and we begin expanding its infrastructure and industry by constructing railroads, bridges, schools, hospitals, ports, etc. We also expand our economy.
 * Czechia: We continue to build up our military. The building of a railroad throughout the nation continues. Factories continue to make railroad tracks. Our local railroads now attach to the European railroads that are being made. Many factories hire both men and women. The farming industry is still the biggest industry of the nation. Our border control team now allowes anyone into the nation. most people that come into our nation are people from the west that are Communists that do not fit in with westren nations. With many revolts happening around the nation our Voivode Viktor Havel makes many speeches telling the people to calm down and go back to what you were doing. About 500 people die in these revolts. The military arrests about 100 revolt leaders. After the major revolts happen in our nation, things go back to normal.
 * Mexaca: Continues recovering from the war, and workers rights groups begin springing up. As industrial work continues to modernize the nation, workers rights groups form the Socalist Party, which quickly gains support. Many feel that elections should be held, and it is decided that they will be held next year.
 * Algonquia: continues to recover from the recent conflicts. Algonquia's navy continues to grow, a new battleship being commissioned this year, with ironclads perceived as increasingly outdated. Uzvards guns come into wide use in the army. Trade continues to grow, with newly open markets providing large amounts of wealth. A colony is founded on Kitlineq to bring more of the Arctic under Algonquian sovereignty, and expands along the coast, bringing Inuit bands under the Algonquian government. With Algonquia needing settlers for the prairies willing to farm, it begins offering free land to anyone willing to settle in the prairies, resulting in a rush for land. Algonquian emissaries advertise this in Central and Eastern Europe, notably in Carpathia, Czechia, Vlachia, Ruthenia, and Silesia, as well as in China. Tens of thousands of peasants, fleeing conflict-torn regions with serfdom often still in place, emigrate to Algonquia. Tensions begin to rise with the Netherlands over its mistreatment of the native Beothuk population. Internal tensions also rise between landowners and industrialists and the socialist government. The government subsidizes merchant ship owners to arm their ships in order to defend themselves against attacks in the Atlantic. Algonquian merchants reach Japan this year for the first time, and request a trade deal with Japan.
 * Sahtudene: Expands 5000 km along the Arctic Coast. Charting of the Northwest Passage continues, with an expedition finally reaching the Pacific in June this year. The railway linking Tuktoyaktuk with the south is completed, making it finally possible for large-scale Algonquian commerce with the Pacific to begin.
 * Lukaian continues to reinforce its Prussian and Livonian national identity, with the former national languages being revived, align with native Lucayan. Russian continue to emigrate back to Pskov or to Russia, while some Algonquians arrive. A local militia of 8000, plus a larger Algonquian garrison, is created. Large quantities of tea, coffee, sugar and rubber are grown to feed Algonquia's industrial sector.
 * Imperial Japanese Dip: We accept the trade deal with Algonquia.
 * Emeraldie: New construction starts on the nation's ports, farms and mines to increase the nation's exports and economic strength. The new royal palace is complete and the king makes a speak on how Emeraldie is the true successor of France and promises the people a grand and prosperous future. The government enacts several new policies designed to encourage the industrialisation of the nation. We expand 500px into the continents interior.
 * Emeraldie Pacific Territories:  The first colonists and missionaries arrive in the region after the Emeraldian government portrays the territories as a lush tropical paradise. A naval base begins construction in Tahiti.
 * ​Emeraldie Dip: We request acceptance into the Olympic games as the sole representative of the French people.
 * Morocco: The Kingdom of Morocco continues to improve its economy, infrastructure and build up its military, mainly the army and navy. Morocco continues to westernize the nation and the population continues to grow by adding 100,000 people every year. The population of Morocco now stands at 8.8 million people, while the number of military troops stands at 76,000 soldiers. Number of ships active in Moroccan Navy stands at 40 ironclad ships and 14 frigates. The nation expands by 1000 px per year to keep it stronger and independent, with a few new cities are built, roads and railroads are built between old and new cities. Fewer schools, museums, colleges and more houses and mining planets are built. The mining plants produces materials coal and iron, which later used as products from industries. Industry continues improving and few factories are built along in cities, creating jobs for people of Morocco. A few docks and mosques are built. Meanwhile, few new trains are produced and one new railway line are opened in service. Ten of 14 wooden frigates are upgraded to armored iron frigates built by Moroccan harbors in Essaouira and Safi. Sultan Aslal I continues to plan new reforms for Morocco and continues investing heavily in technology and science. Morocco request the glorious and powerful nations, Roman Empire and France, for alliance and trade agreement.
 * Roman Empire: The Empire is now at a period of peace and prosperity after a long period of war and uncertainty. Roman trade routes stretch across most of the world in the pursuit of wealth and trade goods and Roman military might remains a powerful force in Europe and other parts of the world. The Roman central government does what it can to address all of the issues of the various archonates within the Empire and ensure that their needs are met even as they help instill strength in the central government. Railroads are constructed around the nation to help connect the Empire and its peoples and steamships are used for much the same purpose on water. To further strengthen its position in Africa, the Roman government begins to make official claims in the Saharan desert north of Egypt's southern border. However, some in the Empire scoff at this, suggesting that the Empire is wasting its time claiming barren land and should focus on more resourceful areas of Africa, Asia or Europe. As European interest in Africa begins to heat up, Roman officials begin exploring possible resources or benefits from extended interaction with Madagascar, and trade and diplomats are directed there to assess the situation. Trade also expands with Hawaii, which becomes an impressive conduit of trade for Roman merchants and businesses. As such, the Empire takes an interest in Hawaii, but rather than try to annex it, as it is too far from Roman authority to do so, Roman officials instead would like to see a strong and friendly Hawaii. Weapons and officers are sent to Hawaii to help train their soldiers and protect their independence. The Roman Empire responds to the increased activity of Communist insurgency in other nations in Europe by adopting a more aggressive stance. Troops are sent to Gothia and Ruthenia to protect against potential Communist aggression from the north, and the Roman Empire begins making overtures towards Croatia, Transylvania and Vlachia to prepare their defences. The Roman Empire also deploys more troops to Italy to present a clear vanguard against potential aggression from Communist France or Lombardy, which is seen as soon falling to Communists while the Roman Empire is forbidden by treaty to intervene. The Roman Empire is concerned with the fall of the Tartary to the Communist hordes, and is particularly concerned that the Caliphate has aligned itself towards the hordes. Fears of being surrounded soon start to build up in the Roman government, and as a result the Roman government does what it can to help shore up its defenses both physical and diplomatic. The Roman Empire expands trade, industry, and military training to members of the Holy League, hoping to create and reinforce a stable and strong military alliance in the Empire's sphere of influence. To help expand said alliance, the Roman Empire formally asks its newfound puppet state the Tatar Empire and its neighbor Vlachia to join the military alliance to help consolidate eastern European protection against the Communist threat. (Mod response, please). The Roman Empire accepts the trade agreement of Morocco but turns down a formal alliance.
 * Accepted
 * Africa: The new Exarchate of Africa is formed to help rebuilt the region after the Roman intervention. Roman engineers and industrialists move in to help repair the infrastructure and get basic services back in motion. Telephone lines are laid, ports repaired, and railroads set back into motion. The Roman Empire also rebuilds many of the fortifications damaged in the intervention, to help protect the region now under Roman control. Fortifications soon ring the capital of Carthage and other major cities like Hippona, Oea, and Cirta. People with Berber or French heritage are brought in to aid in local administration and build up a sense of trust with the locals. Roman military officers begin training a dedicated and loyal militia forces to help the Roman forces in policing the territory. Expansion to the south in pursuit of trade begins in earnest.
 * Reme: Reme begins to build up its military and economy. Reme elects a new president and starts to build up its navy. Meanwhile, trade is improved on, with industrialization, mainly former Byzantine areas slowly being introduced to populous areas. Lumber, cash crops, and other goods become a major export of Reme, and starts getting Reme a jump-start into the European economy. There is also the creation of New navy ships, to help modernize the Reman navy. Reme continues its current expansion into the native dark-grey clusterfuck, expanding another 150 pixels into it. Coal mines are built, and starts churning out coal at a consistent rate. Coal mining plants are also started to be upgraded. Reme also starts very slowly changing its focus to industrial things, with a nation wide railroad being considered to be built. Industrialization of river areas continue, as well as the production of textiles to cheaper the price of Reman cotton. Meanwhile a Socialist-based party starts to gain seats in parliament, with plans to make Reme a more self-sufficient state. People are getting anxious over the threat of Communism to Reme, and vote on the crackdown of Communist sympathizers and their families.
 * Protectorate of Wolof: Wolof begins to build up its military and economy. Reman food and supplies come in to help the formerly starving nation, as well as the Reman military to help sustain order. Some representation is given in the Reman Parliament, to give Wolof a minimal say in how Reme should be run. Meanwhile, plans to industrialize the coastal areas as well as plans for fortifications are presented, and are started to be worked on.
 * In the Grand Union (Pskov), the GDP rises along with average wages. The Inter-Republic Road network is expanded. The Science and technology aspect of Pskov is not overlooked either. As prosperity in the nation increases, the amount of money and new people investing in institutions of higher learning. As such, the various schools that existed in Nizhegorodsk-Na-Narve unite and form the "University of Nizhegorodsk", beginning a rivalry between it and Pskov.The idea of currency reform, to reform it to a decimal system is put out, in order to simplify much trade (even though it is already simple enough with multiples of 20). Zlatobrezhie becomes wealthier and wealthier as more people get used to over 100 years of Pskovian governance. The first practical recoil-operated machine gun is developed by Emilian Glinka, nicknamed the Glinka gun. This new weapon's designs are purchased by the government, and Glinka is given a government contract to produce them. The Uzvards firearms corporation, responsible for the first generation of repeating weapons, singns a merger, and the Glinka-Uzvards Firearms Co. is born. Their first model, the GUMG-91, is produced in bulk for the national army, replacing the much older Uzvards models.  Meanwhile, a joint effor by the Universities of Pskov and Nizhegorodsk build the technology for the first hydroelectric dam, at the river Narva's headwaters. This produces a lot of alternating current, which is soon used to electrify the cities of Nizhegorodsk-Na-Narve and Narva. Plans to build mroe electric power stations are concieved, and some rivers are selected, especially where lake peipus joins lake Pskov, the hydroelectri dam for which is 75% complete. The Conservatives set up another "International Slavic Congress", and invites representatives from all slavic nations to join a celebration of traditions that unite all slavs in Pskov. Last year's election results are as follows: The Grand Union looks to the east with despair. The Government officially refuses to recognize the Socialist Republic, and decides to advance some forces in, promising assylum to all current residents. Many flee in the coming months, the Grand Union sends agents into Russia for the smuggling of human refugees fleeing the "red terror".  Many more Communists are lynched in the streets, with "traitors" carved into their now-naked bodies. The authorities once again condemn "barbarism" but do little to punish people. Fortifications are built along the demilitarized zone, and some schools begin to "black out" captured areas on maps, calling them the "occupied territories". The Border with Russia is strengthened along the demilitarized zone, which is quickly becoming, quite ironically, one of the most militarized zones in the world (due to lots of "you put one unit, I put two" mentality on both sides). The first commercial airship is launched by Wealthy entrepreneur Grigori Jacobeit, a Prussian Lithuanian. The government takes note, and wonders if they can use this in war ... The Pskovians sends some money to the anti-Communist revolters in czechia in secret. Underground movements are secretly funded in Russia, especialy around Novgorod.


 * Andea: Military begins to downsize, from 675,000 to 600,000. The Hesperia First party continues to grow. The military draft is met with mixed reactions, with many seeing it as a positive though many also comment that it increases the power and influence of the military. The industrial expansion slows, creating a minor panic in Andea. The normalization of Relations with Germany leads to increased trade, and an increased desire with bi-lateral relations with the UGK, seeing them as a good counter for Communist France. Population hits 45 million this year, with most of them being Quechua-Spanish Meztizos. Quechua remains the first language for most of the nation's residents. The government passes the Torrez-Sanchez Act, dictating election reforms, laws of succession for the president, and laws regarding running mates. Starting in the 1888 election, all presidents will pick their own vice president. Despite the ongoing war, the National Party remains popular in the countrysides of both Peru and the Amazon, though many major cities see the rise of the Hesperia First Reactionary Party. With the ongoing turmoil in Europe, both in the German wars and the Spanish wars, Andea increases the number of visas the government is able to administer. Average yearly wage sees a slight decrease from 486 Reals to 484 Reals, while the number of days a worker works a year increases from 355 to 356. Average work day remains at 11 hours. The tariff is raised to sponsor the rise of domestic industry, though this is unpopular in the rural areas of Apeac and the Amazon. The income tax remains set at 10% on those making more than 500 Reals and 5% for those making more than 300 reals. The average price of land remains 50 cents per acre, a 5% increase from 1850. With the Re-Admittance of Vorylaycor coming next year, the federal government ends the occupation. The federal government issues a formal apology for the burning of North Eastern Nov Xoyron, and spends considerable funds to reconstruct the city.
 * Indian Diplomacy: We're willing to sell cotton to Andea for 50% of the price that Reme sells, in return for the Maxim gun.
 * Osean Confederation: With the outbreak of war, the nation rapidly develops its industry and military to fit the need for war. Railroads are bulit up to allow the quick transfer of natural resources and industrial goods.  The nation offically adopts conscription, raising a military of 150,000 men. Population stands at ten million, with the largest republic in the confederation being North Osea, with a popualtion of 1.3 Million people. Average yearly wage increases to 380 reals. Average work day remains at ten hours. The nation remains mostly Spanish in culture, though Quechua remains the most spoken language (though not the widest used or largest first language) with 66% of the population being able to speak Quechua, as opposed to 59% being able to speak Spanish. As stated, Spanish is still the most used langue and 48% of Oseans listing Spanish as their first language (as opposed to 36% listing Quechua as their first language). One thing of note regarding the lingustics of Osea is the dialect or diction of Spanish and Quechua. While Quechua in Andea and Osea is the same language, Quechua has Latin style pronunciation as opposed to traditional Quechua, while the areas once held by the British have a Germanic Influence on them. Spanish sees a similar development, with the larger, more traditionally Spanish republics using a high, traditonal diction as opposed to areas such as Paraguay, Santiago and Cordoba which have lower diction, noticeably different from that of Europeans.
 * Pagatonia: Pagatonia continues to recover from its occupation by the once stagnant British Empire. The nation Pagatonia has three republics that will be admitted to Osea over the course of the next ten years. The first is the Republic of South Argentina, with one million people, to be admitted next year. The second is the Republic of Pagatonia, with a population of 600,000. The third is the Republic of New Spain, with a population of 240,000.
 * Ban Republic of Croatia (Banska Republika Hrvatska): Sewerage systems similar to Ragusan ones are built in major towns of the Archvoivodeship. With growing Ragusan influence, and the beginning of further colonization, the navy expands rapidly using much of the Ragusan expertise. Moreover, with the influx of new resources in form of lumber, labour and metals, the navy begins expanding at a fast rate. More and more ships capable of crossing the Atlantic with ease are built. The Sabor intends to restore the glorious naval culture of the Neretva peoples and plans to do so by expanding the navy. The kravata (tie) is more and more used as an accessory. Trade routes are strengthened and the salt mines around Tuzla are explored as well as the salt industry in Pag and Nin. Using irrigation from the Danube, Sava, Drava, Drina, Cetina, Una, Vrbaš, Kupa, Neretva and other rivers the fields in the kingdom are developed, used for crops such as wheat, rye and barley. With trade routes increasing and Croatia entering an era of peace and of stability, the development of new trade ships is issued. Stone mining is furthered as well as the timber industry. The need for these resources rises as urbanization carries on. Iron ores in Dugopolje, Zenice and at last the 'mud' ore in Vojvodina and Eastern Slavonia are to be exploited alongside the silver and copper ores more frequently and of better quality than the iron ores. The exploitation of iron ores in the Lika and Gorski kotar areas continues. The salt industry in Ston is funded by the government. The influx of resources from Dahomey aids the economy. However, the government makes sure that the gold arriving isn't immediately put on the market in order to control the inflation in the worth of gold. The silver mine in Srebrenica is mined. The administrative reform continues. Kotor Saraka (Adelaide) continues to expand. The Transitional Communist-led government heeds the call of the Slavs in need, and calls for a meeting of the non-Communist members of the Slavic League to discuss the future of said League.
 * Županija Dahomey: The natural resources are quickly put to use, such as coconuts, cotton both refined and raw as well as the gold. Finally, the wood industry prospers as materiel is needed for new ships that would help keep the connection between Croatia and Dahomey strong.
 * Isles of the Archvoivodeship (Otoci Nadvojvodstva): The infrastructure is built up.
 * Županija of Hercules Pillars' (Županija Herkulovih Stupova): The županija's pivotal position as a trade nod creates an a sufficite allowing for the economy to expand.
 * Ban Republic of Carantania (Banska Republika Karantanija): Being Alpine Slavic nation, the leaders begin a programme to create a standardized Carantanian language that will reflect on both the Slavic and Alpine (Germanic) aspects of Carantania.
 * Sukadang Županija: Croatization. Expansion onto the other parts of Borneo.
 * In Silesia, the war against Poland and Czechia takes a quick turn for the better as Czechia breaks out into civil war and Poland surrenders and offers massive reparations. This success early on in the year paves the way for a final battle near Uostrawa, in which the Czech Communists are defeated. While there, Voivode Patryk Waldau issues the Declaration of Uostrawa which liberalizes the Voivodeship significantly by giving the Sabor control over almost all domestic affairs. The Ban then uses his new authority to conduct a major purge of Communists, claiming that they are traitors that supported the Poles and Czechs during the recent conflict. This culminates on one day in late summer, at which time the military storms dozens of municipal precinct headquarters of the Communist Party, seizing the property and murdering hundreds of party members acting on warrants. As the war ends, the economy sees large reparation-fueled cash infusions, creating new factories and reinforcing the rail system.
 * Empire of Lanka: The Lankan government focuses on industrialization. This year the parliaemnt meets and discusses a plan on Lankan industrialization. With approval from the Emperor, the parliament passes the Edict of 1891. The first action the edict does is it seperates the Empire of Lanka from the Kingdom of the Netherlands. The parliament feels that the Treaty of Sri Jayawardenepura Kotte is greatly restricting the Lankan government. Specifically the terms that constrict trade with certain nations and require the Lankan government to give a percentage of raw or valuable resources to the Dutch. They cite the Fourth Term of Article Four in the treaty that states: " This Treaty shall remain in full force and effect until nullification is declared by either party and recognized by the other party". In this instance the Lankan government is declaring nullification, and respects that the Dutch government shall recognize the seperation, especially since the relationship has grown distant over the three hundred years.  The second action the edict does is ratifies The Waardige Accord, which basically guarntees Bavaro-German protection of the Lankan Empire, and gives funding for the industrialization of Lanka from many modern states. Also signed this year is the Treaty of Kolkata in which the empire cedes the territory of Nagapattinam to the Indian Empire for money, a non-agression pact, and Indian funding of Lankan industrialization for twenty-five years. Dutch architecture, arts, and culture have had a permanent effect on Lankan culture, although Lankan culture still remains with its own identity.The army remains one of the most modern in Asia due to the permanent result of European military from the Dutch throughout the protectoratecy.  As the populations move to the cities, more and more men are recruited in the Lankan army. The most recent census taken in 1860, accounts for 2,992,224 citizens. The trade ports on the island remain in heavy use with expansion of trade in Asia.  Significant urbanization causes the cities of Waardige, Sri Jaywardenepura Kotte, Kandy, Kalmunai, and Galle, to be flooded with people. Waardige continues to be a trade, technological and industrial center in Asia.  The complex Waardige canal system sees fall in use as more and more it becomes outdated due to changes in ships. The Kust Weg continues to be used, mostly for military reasons. The Island Spoorwegmaatschappij (ISW: Island Rail Company) is formed by the government, which begins to use experimental railroads.   The first railroad by the company is built in the same path as Kust Weg and is named Kust Spoorweg. Religion in the empire continues to be mixed with the three main religions of Hinduism, Buddhism and Dutch Reformist being worshipped on the main island while there are a few animist natives on Nava Kotte. The Lankan navy still holds warships that were supplied during the protectoratecy. The provincie system instituted in 1773 is changed to be less feudal and more bureaucratic, which basically turns them into an administrative division. The the title of the head of the provincie is changed from Count to Emperor's Commissioner. The King's Commissioner is also the head of the parliament (provinciale staten) in the provincie. Along with there being provinciale statens, a main parliament is also created. This main parliament will be assembled on the Emperor's command, and is used to decide issues, create public projects, and pass laws for the whole empire. Last year the emperor called the main parliament to discuss the issue of public education and the idea of the creating a constitution. The Emperor and the parliament passed the Compulsory Education Act of 1886, which states that education in Lanka for the ages of five to ten is compulsory. In elementary school the children learn Sinhala and Dutch (Reading and Writing) and basic Mathematics. Also incorporated in this act is an edict against children working over thirteen hours a day. The emperor and parliament also created a constitution that officially set up the bureaucratic system. Last year parliament wanted to start to pursue a policy of faster industrialization, and to do this they passed the Edict of 1888  which abolished the caste system and slavery as well. Lankan industrial funding is used to build factories in the capital first, and then creating factiories across major cities in the empire. Minor flag changes are made.

Brazil: After a brief economic recession, in large part blamed on the seemingly inactive republic in place, a military coup is launched by Pedro Braganza, a wealthy landowner and general, as well as a relative of the Portuguese royal family. A new constitution is created in which the rights and abilities of the General Assembly are preserved. The assembly becomes more inclusive and open, and creates legislative, moderating, executive and judicial branches within the many regions of the nation. Many democratic policies from before the coup are preserved, such as elections and regional governors. Pedro Braganza is crowned Emperor of Brazil, and uses the military to ensure a swift transition in government. In order to preserve the nation’s political ties and foreign relations, the emperor signs all existing treaties and agreements, including alliances with Emeraldie and Peru. The military begins heavy improvement and training under Emperor Pedro, who sets out to create a modern fighting force. Pedro’s son-in-law, Gaston d’Valois-Arc, married to Pedro’s daughter Maria, is appointed head general of the Brazilian Army. Additionally the British born officer, Henry Bartle Frere, is appointed to a leading position in the military, after being attracted to Brazil from Great Britain. The rapid buildup of military competence and preparedness helps bring the nation out of recession, as weapon manufacturers and other war related industries are subsidized and improved by the government. Pedro also takes a deep interest in naval warfare, and orders the creation of several drydocks and shipyards in Brazil’s major port cities. Hoping to become a strong naval contender on the continent, the navy begins heavy repairs, which at this point only includes a number of small coast-defense vessels. José Paranhos, the Empire of Brazil’s first foreign minister advocates for a complete naval overhaul, believing that in order to compete on the international level Brazil must possess a strong navy. A law is passed authorizing major construction of Brazilian vessels, totalling three small battleships, three armored cruisers, six destroyers, twelve torpedo boats, three submarines, a collier, and a training ship. We begin working with the British to help design these new ships, and also ask Reme and Peru for assistance in upgrading our nation’s navy. Seeking to take advantage of a recent rubber boom in the Amazon region, as well begin exploiting other natural resources in the region, a wave of rubber tappers and other settlers began expanding to the direct northwest of our nation. The city of Belém becomes an important port in the north of our nation, as the last stop in this rubber exporting industry, and the government expands the city as much as possible to take advantage of this increase. Unorganized settlers follow the River Amazon farther inland, often overlapping with Dutch settlers, creating tension along the border with Guianas. We ask the Guianas Colonial Government and the Kingdom of the Netherlands if we can purchase a section of their southern territory, which is largely undeveloped and unsettled by Dutch citizens, near OTL Manaus. A number of settlements prop up in this region, some limited by the Dutch borders. Many Pardos and Afro-Brazilians, in some areas marginalized by the ruling Portuguese class, began moving increasingly westward. João da Cruz e Sousa, an Afro-Brazilian leader, begins calling for a migration from the white dominated east, leading to the so called “Great Trek”. The trekkers, known as Seringueiros, settle many tributaries of the River Amazon in the north, but also to some degree directly west of the nation, near the Peruvian border. Major settlements include Porto Velho in the west and Manacapuru in the north. There are some Seringueiros who advocate for independent nation states in the region, and are particularly hostile to Dutch traders on the River Amazon. After conflict erupts between native and Dutch ships on the Amazon, the government begins to step in to preserve the region’s trade routes. Nilo Peçanha, a Pardo himself, is appointed governor of a colonial government, named Amazonas, encompassing in theory all these newly formed settlements. Each town however remains some degree of autonomy, limiting government power in the region. Economically the central government retains complete control over the region, as it controls the major ports and industrial equipment, forcing these cities to work together with Peçanha’s government. This turn is dedicated to military and/or economy.
 *  ​Lankan Diplomacy:   The Empire requests a nation from the Waardige Accord to sell Lanka ironclads and fit a Lankan port for the manufacture of ironclads. Bavaro-Germany accepted.
 * The Caliphate: Drastically tries to develop military and the economy of the nation. We begin to construct the nation to its previous extent and glory. With the agreement with Rome, we begin to ease tensions with our previous enemy. Also, with the ownership of the entire Persian Gulf, we dominate trade in the region. We improve Mecca every year, donating a significant part of our treasury to the Holy City. A significant number of ships are built for our fleet. We resume to improve cities and establish the capital of the Caliphate as Baghdad, as for diplomatic reason, Mecca is impractical. We also start to press claims on Tartary-owned Persia and Central Asia. The Caliphate: with the war, we try to maintain our economy at a minimum. We begin to construct the nation to its previous extent and glory. With the agreement with Rome, we begin to ease tensions with our previous enemy. Also, with the ownership of the entire Persian Gulf, we dominate trade in the region. We improve Mecca every year, donating a significant part of our treasury to the Holy City. A significant number of ships are built for our fleet. We resume to improve cities and establish the capital of the Caliphate as Baghdad, as for diplomatic reason, Mecca is impractical. We also start to press claims on Tartary-owned Persia and Central Asia. We welcome and accept all trade proposals. Caliph Malik incorporates the old system of Shura, democratically electing the new Caliph after the current one those, however, with a little modification: Caliphs can be only elected from one of four houses, all of them requiring to claim to come from Prophet Muhammad: House Hashemite, House Abbasid, House Fatimid, and the Alids or House of Ali, to please the Shias living in the realm. With the last year of the conference taking place in Baghdad; several theological issues are resolved, with both sides accepting defeat. However, the conference is required to be extended to resolve the remaining issues. At the end of the year Caliph Hakeem appoints a regent from House Hashemite for two months as he goes off on an envoy of ships to "visit" the Empress of India. With the aquisition of Tartary Central Asia, we begin to promote a pan-Muslim state, instead of an Arab state. We emphasize that the Caliph is the leader of the entire Islamic community, rather than Arabs. 
 * The Union of Borealia would like to extend a trade alliance, and expresses hope of establishing closer relations between our respective governments.
 * Algonquia offers a trade agreement.
 * Federal Commonwealth of Germany: Capital: Augsburg; Other cities: Wittelsbach, Munich, Vienna, Venice, Berlin; Population: 40.2 million. Commonly known as Bavaro-Germany. Brief history: Bavaro-Germany traces its roots to the Duchy of Bayern-Landshut. Over the course of the fifteenth-century, Bayern-Landshut was able to grow large enough to re-unite the fractured Duchy of Bavaria. In the sixteenth century, Bavaria made territorial gains in Saxony, Thuringia, and Swabia, as well as colonial advancements in Borealia.. In the seventeenth century, Bavaria helped to dismantle the Austrian monarchy, and won Brandenburg, Pomerania, and northern Austria as a result. In the eighteenth century, after a war with Spain, Bavaria acquired Venezia and several colonial holdings. A series of power-struggles and civil wars in the 1750s and 1760s changed Bavaria greatly, transforming it from a noble, feudal state to a high-class power. A further revolution in the 1790s federalized the country. In the 1870s and 1880s, lower-class revolts succeeded in abolishing the monarchy and instituting a left-wing government. Throughout its history, Bavaria has engendered a distinctive liberal tradition, including the Bavarian Commands of the 1490s, the Austrian Reconstruction in the 1660s, and Marian Commands in the 1790s, all of which events or documents greatly impacted the social, legal, and political fabric of the Bavarian nation.
 * National Developments: The grain, coal and railway industries remain heavily regulated. The Liberal Party remains in power in Augsburg. Women enter the national stage as ancient laws are repealed. However, many politicians fight to have women kept out of the government. In Stuttgart, the German Unification Party earns much support and attracts the eye of Hamburgian leadership. Markus Helenkamp wins the national chancellery elections of 1890, and continues to support German unification. In other news, Communist leaders are released from prison and allowed to remain in Bavaro-Germany. The Treaty of Brunswick is composed and signed by all German states, officiating German unification for 1895
 * Commonwealth of Bavaria:  The army is expanded, and the economy expands as well. Liberals maintain dominance in national government as conservatives retain the blame for economic disaster. Bavaria maintains alliances with Hamburg, Rome, France, Croatia, and Scandinavia. Markus Helenkamp continues serving as Chancellor, with elections coming up in 1895.
 * Commonwealth of Austria: The army and navy are expanded, as is the economy. Vienna remains a center of music, writing, art, and political power. The current governor is Leonardo von Benekat serving from 1885 to 1890. The Curia Austria remains one of the more moderate legislatures in the country, and is lax on regulation and economics.
 * Commonwealth of Brandenburg: The army is expanded, as is the economy. Berlin remains an important city in Germany, and hosts a large economic center for the whole country. Mikael von Urbacher is governor. The Liberal Party enacts a series of far-left reforms that slap heavy regulations on child labor and establishes government watchdog groups for several manufacturing companies. In Berlin, the Democratic Federal party is founded, advocating leftist policies and a strong central government. It is led by Magnus Alischermann. The Democrat Federalists are opposed by the older Berlin Conservatives, who advocate monarchism and social conservatism.
 * Commonwealth of Pomerania: The army and navy are expanded. Pomerania remains an important port for the country. The Curia Pomerania stands as a center-right beacon for German politics.
 * Commonwealth of Venezia: The army and navy are expanded. Venice remains one of the oldest and culturally diverse cities and ports in Germany, providing the country with a large Italian population. The Curia Venexia supports a largely center-left composure, supporting economic regulation to a limited degree and supporting most social liberal policies.
 * Commonwealth of Bremen: The army and navy are expanded. Bremen remains one of the most important and strategically located ports in all of the country. Being a part of Germany since the middle ages, the port of Bremen has served it loyally and is thus made a full commonwealth of the German nation. The political scene is moderately liberal.
 * Commonwealth of Pearl River: The army and navy are expanded. Pearl River was established as a colonial Borealian outpost hundreds of years ago, and due to its loyalty, is made a full commonwealth in Germany. The political scene is very centrist. Pro-Borealian and Pro-independence movements collapse by 1886 in face of the war, and pro-Bavarian movements rise in their place. Despite the collapse of radical movements, the government of Pearl River graciously accepts Borealian aid and agrees to cover the logistical cost. In 1891, Pearl River voters vote to join Reme.
 * In  Spain , the nation continues to prosper as a center of the arts and learning. The construction of new buildings, roads and other infrastructure continues. Spanish merchants and emissaries continue to sail around the world to expand the reach of Spanish in terms of wealth and diplomatic connections. Spanish also becomes a place where artists and intellectual minds meet and do things. It is cool. Due to the burgeoning growth of the economy, new jobs created in the five major cities lead to more people moving to the cities. Stronger cements are produced, whatever that means, leading to the construction of much taller buildings, especially in the major cities such as Zaragoza, Valencia, and Madrid. Steamboats and cars and railways and all sorts of cool modern stuff. Spain continues to lay claim to Antarctica and proposes a  Trans-European rail link  from Lisbon to Constantinople and Moscow. The construction of ships and weaponry continues. Aragon takes all the people from Edgistan. Boats and guns. Spain commissions a more ironclads based on the German designs. More artillery stuff.  Kerguelen is a crown possession of Spain. The Spanish government condemns the Communists. Spain continues to seek out dissenters in Communist France to weaken the French government's strength. Spain proposes the formation of an  anti-Communist league .  Spain also seeks the return of  Gibraltar  and  Ceuta  from  Croatia .  #NoMoreWikiaChanges


 * Algeria expands 5000 sq km south as part of the nationalistic campaign to become a great nation in the African continent. Military technology is brought in from Spain, as well as other things.
 * Navarre continues to fare well. Thanks to the union with Spain, Navarre's economy prospers.

1892
''' In the 1892 Olympiad in Sparta, the Roman Empire came first with 58 medals, followed by Andea with 50 and Bavaria with 44. Be sure to vote and propose for other games. '''


 * Indian Empire: Queen Nur Jehan was proclaimed the Empress of India on 1888, starting a new era. The Indian population rose to about 318,772,000, and the flocking of the people to coastal cities continued, with a mass increase of population in Kolkata, Mahmudpur, Karachi, Mumbai, Surat and various other minor cities and townships throughout the state. The Indian army, equipped with semi-modern armaments stood at 720,000 troops with an additional 250,000 reserves whilst the Imperial Guard was composed of 20,000 troops and the armament industry thrived on local and national level, with armaments rarely imported from foreign nations. The Indian navy experimented on ironclads and had started production of larger classes of steam engine ships, churning out first rate ironclads for various fleets, and more third rates, and fourth rates with the occasional second rate to augment the smaller patrol fleets with 40% of the national navy harboured at the Andaman and Kolkata ports. In agriculture was the largest economic focus of Bengal, exporting various crops to foreign nations with the international jute and cotton textile production largely under Indian control. Along the same time, the Indian Renaissance were in full swing, with movements such as the Young India movement having aided in national modernisation and a massive rise in literacy and education. Moreover, promotion of industrialisation and capitalism allowed the Imperial authorities to construct a Trans-National Railway, connecting the entire Empire as well as introduction of many other commodities such as telephones. The Queen of India announces to the people that the cities of Chennai, Nellore and Nagapattinam have been freed from European Imperialism. She also declares that the Caliphates victory over the Tatar infidels is another occasion for joy and celebration. [Mil/Eco Turn]
 * Khedivate of Bahamani: The Capital of Bahamani was Hyderabad and the population was 60.2 million. The Bahamani military was modernised, standing at roughly 80,000 and a major port and naval base was constructed at Mahmudpur, with 25% of the national navy harboured at Bahamani ports. In the economic sector, rice played the role as a major food crop to be exported. However, other important crops such as cotton, sugar cane, mango and tobacco maintained a major presence in Bahamanis exports as well. About the same time, the Bahamani textile and fishery industries reached new heights.
 * Khedivate of Punjab: The Capital of Punjab was Lahore and the population was 45.8 million. The Punjabi military was modernised, standing at roughly 160,000. In the economic sector, wheat played the role as a major food crop to be exported. However, other important crops such as rice, cotton, cotton and ruits maintained a major presence in Punjabs exports as well. About the same time, the Punjabi rock-salt, sugar and leather industries were of significant importance as well.
 * Khedivate of Vijaynagar: The Capital of Vijaynagar was Coimbatore and the population was 36.4 million. The Vijaynagari military was modernised, standing at roughly 120,000 with 15% of the national navy harboured at Vijaynagari ports. In the economic sector, rice played the role as a major food crop to be exported. However, other important crops such as tea, sugar cane, mango and tobacco maintained a major presence in Vijaynagars exports as well. About the same time, the Vijaynagari fishery and leather industries were of significant importance as well.
 * Korea: Korea continues to build up its military. Meanwhile, more Taoist, Neo-Confucian and Buddhist temples are built. Taoism rises in popularity and gains more followers. Regular (read: not Imperial) Shinto gains a few more followers as well, mainly along the coastline in Southeastern Korea, particularly in Busan, Jejudo, Ulsan, and the coastal cities and coastal towns of Southern Gyeongsang Province. Mahayana Tao-Shintoism also continues to grow, and begins gaining followers from the areas where Shinto is growing, with some Shintoists switching to Mahayana Tao-Shintoism. The military in the colony of Haejagang (해자강) continues to be on high alert and continues to heavily patrol the Korean settlements. Monarch Heonjong continues to plan new reforms for Korea and continues investing heavily in technology and science. Meanwhile, industrialisation and modernisation continues in Korea (similar to OTL Japan's Meiji Restoration). Monarch Heonjong asks for a renewal of alliance with Japan, and also aims to have more friendly relations with them. Meanwhile the results of the elections are in, with Kim Hong-jip elected as the first Prime Minister of Korea.
 * Ruthenia: The Ruthenians continue to expand industry as a way to repair the economy after the end of the war. More and more people move to the city from the country in pursuit of jobs.
 * BoraliaFlag.png Union of Borealia: Both the economy and military improve across all the provinces of the Union. The thriving industries now run entirely on petroleum, procured from the oil collected from Alaska and California. While the traditional hearts of each city, particularly New Vienna, continue to reflect the same idyllic Baroque style, newer expansions to these urban centers are packed with factories and other industrial equipment. Cities recently built in southern California and northern Alaska are much more developed, as some parts of the Kiatagmiut province are almost unrecognizable. The economy of the Union stems from the exportation of natural resources. San Francisco and Mamterlliq continue to be the main centers of the gold trade, while oil wells begin to speckle the coastal range of California. More oil wells are built in Upper Alaska, bringing entrepreneurs to that region. Large monopolies on lumber and animal products are also prevalent in Santiago and Pannenstiel. All of these businesses are connected with diesel trains that span the continent. As the various earlier philosophies continue to grow and factionalize, these turn into competing ideas that promote further progression and ingenuity from the younger generation. Radios become commonplace for media communication, although this year the first full full-length movie is released, All's Quiet on the Visayas. New Munich becomes the first city partially run on electrical power. As scientist explore mechanisms at smaller levels, it is theorized that all matter behaves like a particle and wave. Machine guns continue to improve with Andean supplies. Fatalities in surgeries are drastically reduced with modern medicine. Automobiles completely replace travel by horse. Submarines begin to be built for the purpose of breaking through northern ice caps. We continue to uphold the New Munich Declaration along with Algonquia, Reme, Mexaca, and Arcadia. An organization for promoting peace in the Pacific is established, whose members currently include Korea, China and Ayutthaya.  As more industrial goods continue to pour in from Reme, Borealian entrepreneurs begin selling more oil, gold, lumber, and livestock to the East Coast. Industrial goods are sent to Brazil to improve their economy. The northwest passage is completely open for shipping now (during the summer), and later the same year a final expedition manages to plant the Borealian flag on the geometric north pole. The Curia expresses their pride towards all of the athletes who participated at the Olympics in Sparta, but work continues to improve for the next match.
 * The Territory of Australia: The ports continue to be expanded and the new city of Dandiri is built on the Pacific Coast. As more businesses are taken up by Muslim natives, the German colonists begin migrating to the new communities farther inland. Schools and media centers are established that teach Borealianist philosophy along with essential education. Many people in the territory begin to express interest in becoming a full state such as the regions in Borealia. An irrigation program continues to be designed, with the hopes of aiding settlements in the outback. Supplies and engineers are continually sent to the Timor Sultanate to improve their industry.
 * The Borealian Maritime Territory: Naval bases continue being built to enforce claims on several islands (from OTL Mariana Islands to Nauru). A major naval base is constructed on the Island of Midway in the Republic of Hawaii. Moving farther east, the Borealian navy lays claim to a few additional islands (OTL Vanatu and Tuvalu).
 * People's Republic of Poland: General Secretary Sokoloff continues to express dissapointment in the Czech rebellion agains their leaders, and the Polish Army continues to fight in favour of the communist government. Meanwhile in Poland, the General Secretary continues implementation of the Ten Year Plan, now on its fifth year, with the partial collectivization essentially done and now the government starts to use the resource increase caused by the partial collectivization to increase industrial output, and that combined with the resources now being made are being used to make more factories throughout the nation, significantly increasing the industrial output of the state. While that happens, Foreign Minister continues to fund communist organizations in Czechia, Silesia, Slovakia, Croatia, Transylvania, Romania, Pskov, and Ruthenia.
 * Romania: With foreign aid into communist societies of Romania, Communism begins to gain traction and attracts many supporters in the proletariat and even some sympathetic bourgeois.
