Foreign Expansion (RIP Lil Eli)


 * With France and Great Britain looking to expand their international power following the loss of the imports previously acquired from the southern states, settlers from both nations have pushed further and further south.
 * Great Britain
 * Reaching the top of Native American territory, Great Britain engages in several small squabbles with isolated Native American tribes.
 * Using their formidable navy, Great Britain engages Native Americans along the western coast, thus opening a two-front war.
 * The exacerbating presence of the British navy combined with the mechanistic advantage possessed by Great Britain make quick work of any resistance by the sparse Native American forces in northern Native American territory.
 * British forces push Native American tribes as far as the Great Basin Desert, renamed the Great Britain Desert by the invading forces.
 * Writing off the arid southwest as unprofitable and more trouble than it was worth, British forces leave the area for the Native American population.
 * France
 * Meanwhile, France ventures further south through the center of the continent.
 * Getting wind of French populations along the western borders of the northern states, the forces fighting for the north know they are spread too thin to protect both the western and southern border.
 * Delegates from the northern states are sent to engage French officials, upon which they are guaranteed France will not attempt to encroach on the land of any northern states.
 * While France supports the cause the north is fighting for, they are in too weak of a position themselves to aid them in any way other than not making problems.
