Principia Moderni IV (Map Game)

The Ming Dynasty still rules over the vast lands of China. On the other side of the world, the Hundred Years War continues between England and France. Europe is still stuck in the old ways of feudalism and chivalry while the notions of a New World are considered figments of imagination.

We welcome you to the long-awaited fourth expansion of that immortal series. Welcome to Principia Moderni IV! Starting in 1400 AD, this is the dawn of the modern world and the tail end of the Middle Ages. The Renaissance is just kicking off in Europe, while the nations in the western side of the continent are locked in the last gasp of the Hundred Years War. The Muslim world is still reeling from the invasions of Turks and Mongols, with the Caliphate resting in the collapsing Mamluk Egypt and the Ottomans on the rise in Anatolia. Make it count.

The first game was the most successful on the wiki, leading all the way to the modern day with mostly plausible posts and little controversy. The second game reached almost to the modern day, but failed due to a plethora of ASB events and moderator bias. The third game was much more worthy of the first, almost running into implausibility but climbing back into a shining glory by the end. Riding on the latest reforms of map games since the end of PMIII, this is the most logical next step in that evolution. Remember  above all other rules, — have fun.

Moderator Strikes
These are strikes for moderators and how they moderate. The same three strikes rules apply. If a moderator is banned from moderating, however, they can still play as their nation. Mod strikes can be delivered in one of three ways: Moderators can be given strikes for the following reasons:
 * 1) If a sufficient number of players (more than half of all players voting) vote to give a moderator a strike.
 * 2) If I, Scraw, give them a strike.
 * 3) If a majority of all mods (i.e., more than half of the total number of mods, excluding that moderator) vote to give a moderator a strike.
 * 1) Exhibiting bias that would benefit the nation they are playing.
 * 2) Exhibiting bias that would negatively affect a player they have a personal dispute with.
 * 3) Making a ruling that contradicts a proven fact from OTL or an established fact from earlier in the game.
 * 4) Overruling a decision of a majority of moderators.

 * Hawaii: Settlement and colonization of Hawaii's many territories continues. With Hawaiian assistance the Polynesian Confederacy spreads to most of the surrounding region, with native islands and tribes being integrated into the union. Another expedition is sent via Angu-Zia to reach the southern continent and hopefully make contact with the people encountered years prior. The group stops at a group of islands (Santa Cruz Islands), which they name Mamaopaena. The inoculations ordered by the king continue and prove to be successful in stopping the spread of disease. The Catholic population has substantially grown due to the government's support, as well as from the cooperation with the Papal States and its missionaries and dignitaries. The king issues the Edict of Toleration, which legalizes all forms of Christianity, in order to appeal to the small but growing minority religions within the nation, such as Russian Orthodoxy. The Buddhist population within the nation also grows, although still a very small minority.
 * Empire of Uluru: With the Council of Ngarridjeri concluded, the Empire enters into its protective status under the three nations it can trust: China, Britain, and Swahili. Any other attempt to colonize the continent will be blocked by these three powers. Islam continues to grow among the countriside, with Christianity spreading quickly in the cities. Emperor Daku retires to the Ochre Palace in Ngarridjeri, confident that he had established a nation in which his people will be eternally safe. Daku expresses his utmost gratitude to all his court, for enduring with his rule after all these years, in spite of the occasional irrational decision or outside questions. Only time will tell what further adventures await the nation.
 * Iberia: As steam spreads throughout Britain, many Iberian engineers also become interested in it . An Iberian Engineer develops a steam engine based on British designs and King Pedro hands over the modernization of his navy to the Iberian Naval Company, which will exist as a mandated company that will modernize his military all while making a profit. The Naval Company will also be permitted to raid settlements not under Iberian or any other power's protection. Prince Pedro also announces his plans to use the new steam power to build equipment that will help in the construction of canal in Panama that will allow the passage of ships. The Naval Company starts making ships out of metal, which prove to be more durable and can work better in tropical climates. An Iberian Engineer designs a steamboat made of metal called "the Guinea" which will be captained by explorer Roberto Levin, who plans to use the ship to travel along the Senegal River and establish an Iberian colonial presence there. Iberia sends an envoy to Uluru asking to sign a treaty concerning trade and Iberia possibly buying a port city (Uluru Response). The idea of the Civilizing Mission continues to spread, and Roberto Levin becomes especially interested. In Sunugal, Portuguese is introduced as a trade language. King Pedro also begins lessening the power of the Catholic Church, making it more of a ceremonial entity. With the wave of colonial rebellions, Iberia establishes the Dominion of New Granada (Columbia and Panama) as an entity with its own parliament and legislature, but under personal union with the Iberian Crown. They do the same with the Amazon colony and name it the Dominion of Amazon. King Pedro also institutes several reforms in Iberia to make it more democratic. These include freedom of speech, mild freedom of religion, local elected legislatures, and more private control of land by government mandated companies.
 * There is absolutely no way in hell you adopted that fast. It took 10-15 years OTL for anyone to develop something similar and then even longer to implement. No just no -Feud
 * Empire of Ethiopia: The Emperor Recognizes the overwhelming Muslim Majority that is in Ethiopia as Islam is the 2nd most practiced religion in Ethiopia, he attempts to send preachers to Muslim neighborhoods to try to convert them. On New Year's Eve a parade In the Nile River Happens Showing off the newly rebuilt Ethiopian Navy with its nine Battleships and Mighty Fierce Flagship the "S.S. Theodore Mark 1", Troops march with the boats, blocking anyone from accidentally falling into the Nile, fireworks go off and the emperor can be seen At the front of the ship holding the Ethiopian Flag and Giving a Heroic Pose. After the Parade The Emperor Chooses a Very Famous Captain of An Ethiopian Envoy: Jonathan T. Abu to General Admiral of The Ethiopian Navy. Slavery Is Finally Made Illegal after many decades and Centuries of Farmers using Slaves for hard labor and Harvesting, the emperor uses this too his advantage to His Converting Campaign and sense slaves were banned from practicing religion previously, he could convert all, or at least a majority of them to Christianity! The Emperor Continues his Revamping program for the military with Authorizing for ten battleships to be built every year and for conscription for Boys 17 and older are Required to Serve in the Military for at least four or five years in exchange for free health care and a free education.
 * No way either of these are possible. You have too many non core pops to have legitimate conscription, and no way you're building ten capital ships a year. Your a land power not a naval one. -Feud
 * Okay, I get the navy part, but what do you mean that I can't conscript people into the army? 
 * Empire of Dravidia: The Emperor of Dravidia, Haider Shah Agran continued his rule over his domain from his seat of government, the city of Hyderabad whilst his Grand Vizier, Sadullah Khan managed day-to-day army I can't buildup affairs. The Dravidian population stands at about 53.7 million with the people flocking to cities like Mysore, Hyderabad, Tanjore, Madurai, Coimbatore, Kollam, Masulipatnam, Tirupati and Mangalore as well as various other minor cities and townships throughout the south; primarily due to the rapid urbanization. This inflow of manpower has allowed the Empire to rapidly expand upon its fishery, pearl, shipbuilding, spices and tea industries, key businesses for those residing in coastal towns and port cities. It was agriculture though that served as Dravidia's largest economic focus, selling such goods as rice, wheat, maize, potatoes, indigo, opium, wheat, cannabis and other crops to European merchants as well as those from other states. Among these cash crops, jute, mulberry, silk, and muslin, in particular served as the most important exports given the general need for them in Europe. Meanwhile, the Dravidian navy experimented on new larger classes of flag ships, churning out first rate ships for various fleets, and more third rates, and fourth rates with the occasional second rate to augment the smaller patrol fleets with the majority of the imperial navy harboured at the Kollam, Vizhingam and Mangalore ports. The Dravidian navy firmly stands at 900 ships divided into two Pirivus. Along the same time, a standardized army of roughly 60,000 men existed with an additional 100,000 conscripts to defend the state from any foreign invasion with the soldiers armed with flintlock rifles, and supported by iron-cased rocket artillery, designed indigenously in the city of Tanjore. Apart from the national army, an Imperial Guard was also propped up, mainly to protect the Monarch and his household from any threat. As such, quite a bit of importance was given to the production of firearms and gunpowder, with Tanjore soon becoming the epicentre of the Dravidian arms and rocket industry. Besides the firearms, the infantry was also equipped with daggers and swords to be utilised in close combat against the enemy. Along the same time, the Dravidian Renaissance was in full swing with pan-Dravidian movements such as the Young Dravidia movement established that espoused rationalism and atheism as the common denominators of civil conduct amongst the educated masses. Meanwhile, the use of Dakhini spreads widely in the newly acquired Goan and Marathi lands, with the people of the Deccan and the Nagpur-Jagdalpur region now speaking mainly this language. Along the same time, Christianity once more began to grow amongst the Dalit populace of Dravidia, largely due to rapidly expanding Christian missionary network in the state, with many of the missionaries setting up schools in Dalit villages. Given the poor conditions in which the Dalits lived due to the caste system, conversion to Christianity or to Islam, either one of the Abrahamic religions was seen as an easy way to escape the millenniums of institutional discrimination and persecution that they had faced. Meanwhile, the Grand Vizier made further arrangements for the settlement of Dravidians in Balochistan with most of these migrants settling in the Sulaiman Mountains or along the Makran coast. By now, the population of the province had reached 400,000 of which there were about 25,000 Dravidians. In an attempt to properly enforce Dravidian rule, the Grand Vizier offered to provide incentives to the various nomadic Baloch tribes of the region, offering them the supply of food from farms managed by the Dravidians. Concurrently, mining was also started in the province as the Vizier Mengal recognized potential for Balochistan's copper industry. Yet another victory was achieved as the Goan's were defeated at the Battle of Kolapur, forcing them to retreat to their final stronghold, their capital city of Ratnagiri. Unfortunately for them, the Dravidian army under the Emperor pursued them right to the cities doorsteps before laying siege to it. These forces were soon subsequently joined by 135,000 levies from the North who had proven victorious at Pune and captured the city. Simultaneously, the navy imposed a blockade upon the city, having already defeated the Goan navy at the Battle of Kajali. Meanwhile, fighting continued in the city of Aurangabad as the Marathas fought with tooth and nail, ferociously defending their city against the invaders and inflicting as many as 50,000 losses upon the Dravidians. Even Prince Ziyad was injured at one point as an arrow pierced into his shoulder, forcing him to retreat back to the encampments befire returning once the wound had healed. Nevertheless, despite the heavy losses, the battle was slowly and gradually shifting in favour of the Dravidians as not only were the Maratha's being pushed back but many of them had also lost heart after learning that Pune had fallen with many now defecting over to the Dravidian side. The Dravidians may have acquired the Goa Sultanate's riches following the battles of Solapur & Kolapur but it came at a cost. It seemed they had also inherited the Thuggee cult of Maharashtra which had now started attacking the Dravidians in hopes of pleasing the bloodthirsty warrior Goddess of the Hindus, Kali. In any case, seeing an opportunity hoping to sway the Thuggees over to the Emperor's side, the Grand Vizier Sadullah Khan sent an envoy to elders of the cult, offering them all of the inhabitants of Ratnagiri as sacrifices if the Thuggee's aided the Dravidians in the assault against the city. [Mod Response Needed] 
 * Aztlan Federation:The President of the Aztlan federation José María Teclo Morelos y Pavón Met and held talks with former Emperor of the Californian Empire Philipe Augusthino Diltwa I. They spoke about many things mostly military experience and the political structure of California. The president does critise how Iberian friendly he was even during the war of Aztlan Federation but José does admit that Iberia should be kept a friend of his new nation. The Former Californian "Forças armadas nacionais" and the "Forças armadas reais" are both incorporated into the Aztlan federation with the Aztlan army now know as the "Forças armadas federais". This army of Our nation is mostly based on the former Iberian structure and on the Structure of Californian and Mzerkan army that was used in the war of independence.
 * Italian League: Rebuilding of the military is still underway, hastened by the recent war. Trento and Bozen are heavily fortified as they were before the war. We again make communications with Lombardy, Savoy and the other states of northern Italy asking them to peacefully resume the deal that we had before the Belkan invasion, noting that we created Lombardy and gave them their independence, and we can protect them further (Mod Response). After the swift invasion of Sicily the state is reinstated as a vassal of the League, after Palermo falls and southern Italy. The people are treated with respect and dignity, and allowed the autonomy and rights they previously had, as long as they go back to respecting the previous arrangement held between the two states.


 * Belkan Dip: We Demand the full withdraw of the league from Sicily or the League will Face both the Papal State and Belka in the Field of Battle once again.
 * Mod btw your population score is way to high. With the loss of everything before and your major scorched earth thing from the last war the League at best has four million people. Please change your algorithm and troop strength accordingly. Also the league can raise maybe 100,000 max in its current state. -Feud
 * Hold up. What league? Didn't the Congress of Ravenna split the former league between the Papal States and Belka? As far as I'm aware, the League no longer exists. ~Cal
 * JK the league was dismantled guess me and cal need to do something with it. -Feud
 * Swahili: We continue our agriculture policies and adapt more plants to the Swahili climate. We continue colonial expansion in Northern Somalia, in the South and in the Malindi and Mombassa area. Colonisation steadily increases as medicine and weaponry become more widespread. The army of Zakia defeats the returning army of Northern Malindi in the battle of Lake Natron. The army of Zakia ambushed the hastily marching army of Northern Malindi, resulting in its destruction. However, the delay of the army of Zakia meant that the Army of Zanzibar and the Army of Mombasa has managed to form up near Mt. Kilimanjaro. The combined armies of 80,000 faced off the army of Zakia of 45,000 at Mt. Longido, between two ridges. The Fundamentalists demonstrated great bravery in their religious fervor, and under the masterful hand of Zakia, was almost able to defeat the Royalist armies. However, a 15,000 strong charge of Oromo Cavalry, launched by Zakia towards a Royalist flank, was broken up by the Grand Battery strategy developed in Qamar and the two ridges, which forced them to advance in a narrow and condensed column. Following the great failure of this charge, the Royalist armies were able to encircle the fundamentalist with an inverted wedge. Being outnumbered and encircled, Zakia broke off and returned back North, raiding farms. He left with only 4000 cavalry left and only 22,000 men in the Army of Zakia, while the Royalist armies suffered a loss of 15,000 men. The two armies begin to march northwards. In the north, the Fundamentalists had formed up a second army, the army of Mogadishu, which begins a march cross the River Tana towards Malindi. The deserters and mutinous soldiers also join the army of Mogadishu. On the island of Qamar, the army of Quelimane reestablishes total control. A garrison of 10,000 soldiers are left to remain of the island, while 30,000 is sent to the mainland to reinforce the armies. With most of the Qamarese navy destroyed, the Royalist navy begins a piracy and raiding campaign across the entire coast of Fundamentalist Swahili. The 4000 men of the army of Quelimane acts as a landing party/ marine detachment, including the now famous Gospel Division.
 * Sefuwa: The colony of Sefuwa continue development.
 * Huriya: Swahili culture is brought by merchants and diplomats. The economy is slowly integrated into that of Royalist Swahili following the facilitation of trade through roads and the influence of Swahili merchants.
 * Rowzi: Swahili culture is brought by merchants and diplomats. The economy is slowly integrated into that of Royalist Swahili following the facilitation of trade through roads and the influence of Swahili merchants.
 * Swahili Diplomacy to Dravidia: We propose an alliance and trade agreement with Dravidia.
 * Men are placed on the Border between Swahili and Ethiopia just incase they Invade or accidentally trespass on Ethiopian land, The Emperor sends a Diplomat to befriend the Swahili.
 * Swahili Diplomacy to Magadh: We propose an alliance with Magadh.
 * Magadh Diplomacy: Magadh accepts the alliance.
 * Swiss Confederacy: The delegates of the Tagsatzung have met once again, in order to try to alleviate the rising tensions between the Northerners and Southerners. After many months of deliberation, the Great Compromise of 1790 is enacted in mid-November. The comprise states that Switzerland will remain a lose confederacy, with the cantons still being mostly autonomous, and that Zurich will be the permanent Vorort, and therefore the de facto capital, of the SC. In return for this, the Northerners have agreed in declaring the Swiss Confederacy independent of what remains of the Holy Roman Empire. The two sides have also agreed on sending diplomats to the Papal States and Britain, in order to cement the idea of the SC becoming an independent state. The German version of Rise of the Modern Caliphate: 1400-1700 proves popular in Zurich and other cities with universities, as the new history provides a new spark of Orentalism within the cities.
 * Belkan Federation: With the re-expansion of the Italian league, Vozdh Milosevic annoyed with Italian Impudence Raises a Force of nearly 300,000 to the Border with the league and demands their withdraw from Trento and Sicily in all due haste, Belka dismantled the expansionist league for a reason, this will not happen again. The Papal state is called to raise its own army in response to the League and confirm a Policing action of the League. As a result of this as well the Belkan navy is deployed in Earnest and it responds by blockading the League daring them to challenge the navy. With nearly 50 ships parked off the coast, and Belka maintaining local troop superiority the Italians would be Foolish to meet on the field of Battle. Austria while knowing of their bad blood with Belka offers to return Trento in return for their Help against the League if they dont stand down(mod). While this has flared up the Belkan government is not entirely concerned of this matter and the preparation in Northern Africa continues. Tunis is continually Fortified and a series of forts are constructed on the border with the League as forward operating Bases. The population reaches 19 million flat out this year.
 * United Kingdom of Great Britain:  Tariffs remain high on imports keeping Arcadia currently as Britain's main trading partner partner. To keep pushing up agricultural production more land is drained of water to access more farm lands. As part of mercantilism policies coal is taxed heavily if sold abroad. There is a continued growth in industry of textiles, iron manufacture and further construction of canals to allow the movement of raw materials such as coal and food. More coal mines open up to fuel the growing production of steelworks. The rise of the steam engine powers the coal mines pushing Britain to the lead in production while factories are also powered by them. Iron, cotton and other goods are all produced in new mills, factories and smelting plants. Patents are expanded on the steam engines and the sale of them overseas is forbidden as they are considered of national importance. The raise in farmer's poll tax is halted but more people continue to move to cities as they struggle under the burden. This causes an increase in investment in farming as the land has to be worked more labour efficiently. England has 7.7 million people and inside of that London has a population of 0.8 million, Wales has 0.7 million, Ireland has 4.7 million people and Scotland 1.2 million. The British army has 3000 in Portsmouth, 3000 in Aldershot, 2000 in Scotland, 3000 in Ireland while 2000 in Arcadia, 2000 in Casablanca, 1000 in English Maiam, 3000 in Haiti as well as 500 in St George, St Helena, New Canterbury and Bay of Kost. Criminals are deported to Arcadia. The navy has 50 ships in New London, Port-au-Prince and the remaining divided between Bristol and Portsmouth. As the proportion of urban to rural increases due to population growth cities expand as more factories grow. Trade with Uluru grows now that they have gold with everything from fishing hooks to guns being traded. The agreement the British have with the Uluru is also carried out. Sir Robert Clive continues to befriend the Emperor of Southern India. The south Indians are on their own in this whole Thuggee thing currently though.
 * Kingdom of Avalon, Iroquois and Savannah: The Kingdom of Iroquois fearing conflict with natives or Burgundian or anyone really passes the military establishment act and restricts the passage of British troops. They do offer a number of experienced British officers positions in their forces and they establish a 2000 strong professional force. The three Kingdoms have their first separate Parliament elections this year. Each of the three kingdoms maintain a free trade status with Britain while restrict trade to other European powers. The Kingdom of Savannah continues to expand westwards 50 px from the Mander (Tennessee River) towards the Mecipici reaching the Iberian borders. The Kingdom of Avalon expands 50 px west towards Lake superior. The winter is an issue as some crops produce less yields but with the market for cotton rapidly expanding this does not deter farmers from trying to get more farms and pushing westwards in the search for water. The three Kingdom's still rely on their militia because of the size of the lands they hold There maintains a large export market to Britain for cash crops and staple foods especially cotton as the British cotton industry is rapidly growing. The population of Avalon is 0.7 million, Iroquois has 1.3 million and Savannah has one million.
 * Papal States: After the promising diplomatic overtures from Ethiopia last year, the Pope asks the Coptic Church  to send a delegation to the ongoing Council of Vasiligrad. His Holiness writes to his Coptic equivalent, asking whether his Church would be open to having a Cardinal. The Papal Military is put on high alert given events on the Italian Peninsula. Missions continue, with continued focus on the Zulu, Uluru and Western Arcadia.
 * The Coptic Pope agrees to having a Cardinal And Sends a Delegation to the council of Vasiligrad.
 * Saxony: With training continuing by the Saxon Army, a new form of artillery using grapeshot weapons is implemented for the first time in cannons. The Volksgeist is written by Arnold Huber an enlightened individual and a believer in a connection between groups of people's cultures and what basically brings them together and makes them united. His latest book talks about German speaking pride and unity and the belief that each and every German speaking person is connected with one group of people. His book quickly spreads across Saxony and his writings inspired many to believe in his ideas and long thought out philosophical ideas. Towns and cities across the nation begin to quickly catch up to the rest of Europe with modern designs and technology. A new Winter Holiday Palace is being made near the Rhine. Road development continues on. Cavalry and other forms of military support are recruited with a total of 9400 being selected this year to do five years of advanced training. Crop Growth continues on with fruitful harvest being made. Meteorology becomes such a popular form of scientific study that the first National Network of Meteorological Observers is made called Sächsische Meteorologische Gesellschaft. The Leader of Saxony, Otto I lives to see another year

''' The Thuggees agree to the Emperor's agreement, but this action forever gives the emperor the public image of a monstrous killer to much of the Maratha people, as well as some Dravidians. '''

''' A new wave of smallpox strikes the populations of Iroquois, Salish and Comanches, weakening those states. '''

 An eccentric businessman in Saxony begins funding the largest mud-baked brick Gothic castle in history (mud event) 

''' The Zulu empire sees its first transfer of power between a Christian father and son with the Crown Passing to Solomon II who very quickly begins new programs of settlement and expansion. '''
 * Aztlan Federation:After a wave of smallpox hit nations bordering us,Our Federal Senate Asks the Pueblo Federation and Comanche Kingdom to join our nation(as a new state for the pueblo) to be able to give them the full Aztlan Medication and technology. (Pueblo response and mod response). The federal senate also Asks the Iberians to buy Hispaniola and East Caribbean Islands to get Our nation use them as a Port. Our "Forças armadas federais" numbers are expanded slowly by fully training militias that fought during the war of independence. Our President also Meets up With his governors that have been appointed yet. To discus new lands would become states and in what manner states would be become them.
 * In spite of being weakened, the Comanches won't be annexed so easily. -mod
 * The Pueblo Confederacy; We Refuse. We have technology a-plenty. We were a respected ally of Iberia. We are offended by your offer.


 * China: The Eastern-rite Church (or the Holiest Procurator of the Heavenly Teachings in the East) relocates its base to Kunming, Yunnan, as the epicentre of Christianity in China shifts from the Korean peninsula to southern coastal China. Within Korea, a revival in Confucianism and Muslim continues, as many formerly devout Eastern-rite Christians are dissatisfied with the Church's alleged corruption and its policy of realigning its doctrines with standard Catholicism (particularly an enforcement of the Sacraments and the Holy Trinity). This also triggers a larger following in Catholicism. A centralized Confucian clergy is established, known as the Holy Confucian Church, incorporating elements of Emperor worship, with the Emperor asserted as the "Son of Heaven". To improve soil fertility and prevent soil erosion, crop rotation is adopted. Irrigation and more intensive methods of agriculture, as well as the usage of all idle cultivatable land (using New World crops such as potatoes and maize for land unsuitable for wet-rice cultivation) to increase agricultural productivity and crop yield. The production of cash crops are discouraged and farmers are encouraged to cultivate grains, leaving merchants and commercial plantations to monopolize on the cultivation of cash crops. Urbanization is restricted via the Hukuo policy, with a tenth of the population living in urban areas. Land property laws are, however, liberalized. The usage of coal begins to rise once again as reserves of timbre dwindle, with reserves of high-quality anthracite in Hamgyeong being extensively mined. Gold mining sees a boom (as gold underpins the paper currency). Metallurgy and iron mining is subsidised by the government, with government-supervised smelting facilities turning poor-quality pig iron into wrought iron. Gunpowder production also flourishes, with both it and wrought iron being used in the production of weaponry, armoury, and artillery. Arsenals containing modern firearms such as flint-lock rifles and multiple-rocket launchers are constructed, in-accordance to the policy of militarization. Commercialization continues, with a boom in the production of handicrafts and textiles supplemented by a labour dividend and strong domestic and external demand. Infrastructural development continues, with basic sanitation and hygiene being promoted to reduce the spread of infectious diseases, with public bathhouses, spas, latrines and sewage, being built in urban zones. In Zaihaibian, Suolong and Nangang both expand, having a total of fifty thousand colonists. Fire-fallow cultivation is encouraged, leading to rapid deforestation of the forest, with local tribes being given the choice of conversion into Confucianism and autonomy, or being forcibly expelled or massacred.
 * Nivkh Commandery: Tiger Pastries Inc., a subsidiary of Lady Lin Tea, continues to flourish as a business. The Nivkh Prince-Governor (which is the member of the Nivkh Ayzik branch of the House of Kim) continues to adopt Korean and Chinese architecture, paving roads to facilitate transport, and replacing wood and thatch roofing with stone bricks and clay tiles, respectively.
 * Sakha (protectorate): The Khan continues to adopt Korean and Chinese architecture, paving roads to facilitate transport, and replacing wood and thatch roofing with stone bricks and clay tiles, respectively. Siberian crab-apples become a local renowned fruit, and is particularly prized in Korea and northern China.
 * Xizang (protectorate): Lhasa, the capital, is expanded and modernized. The Tibetan clergy continues to administer the protectorate, with its leader, the Dalai Lama, being considered a vassal or substitute monarch. Many Tibetans are encouraged (via financial incentives) to become more sedentary, with food instead being supplied from nearby Sichuan (thereby reducing overreliance in inefficient herding).
 * North Mongolia: Yurt is further settled. A healthy aquiculture industry is established, harvesting and raising fish from the Baikal Lake. A census is taken showing the population to be a measly 100,000 inhabitants.
 * Empire of Ethiopia: The Peasents in the new territory (who used to be small uncivilized tribes) start to set restless towards the Ethiopians, the Peasent farmers aren't that into Wthiopian Technology, most of them don't know how to work a gun or what a gun is! They don't speak Amharic either. The Emperor Calls for five BattleShips to be made this year and be finished by Christmas again, while he calls for all young boys 17 or older to join the military to serve for the Emperor and the Empire. The amount of Ex-Slaves that have Converted to Christianity is at 60% while 40% have either converted to Islam or another religion or are illreligious, the Emperor Is pleased non the less. The Coptic Pope is denied having any large amount of political Influence in Ethiopian Government or politics as that could lease to a Government take over by the church, the Emperor Does allow Coptic Priests seats in the Imperial Council to discuss Serious Issues. Addis Ababa is 20% Complete.
 * So you are 100% not a naval state, it would take you 20-30 years to get into a position to max out your navy. As for your army, your government type doesn't allow for that kind of conscription. That's what I meant last turn. Your nation hasn't adopted or learned about Conscription since they have yet to see/face it in battle. -Feud
 * Alright, thanks
 * The Magadh Mahajanpada: Vajrayana Buddhism spreads to the hills of Northern and Eastern Kamroop where it finds great appeal among the tribal groups. Theravada Buddhism spreads westwards. An extract from this year's yearbook 1848 Vikram Samvat : The Gwalior fort fell in the month of Baisakh. There were heated arguments over the Gwalior issue (freedom or integration) and the council remained divided over the issue. The council decided to integrate Gwalior into Magadh in the month of Jyeshta following a visit by Councilman Shivansh Chauhan to Gwalior where he promised a 'Restoration of Aryavarta'. The spread of the 'Restoration Promise' created mass hysteria in the cities. The Council passed a decree indicating a major change in foreign policy. An embassy was sent to Swahili by the Council. The Magadhan navy was inaugurated. The National Bank announced subsidized loans to weapons manufactories and shipyards. Munger has become the center of weapons manufacture with and produces even siege guns. A small demographic shift has occurred with people moving to Munger from the outlying villages. Naval production was stepped up to ten ships a year. Major canal and infrastructure projects continued. The Council invested a large sum to start the construction of a Strategic Defensive Area in the Shan states. Uzair Ahmed Khan announced the integration of the states in Mytkina and the construction of a road running along the Iravati river. The use of the shampoo spread to Burma and Kamroop. Restoration work on the Mahabodhi temple started this year. The Governor of Burma announced irrigation projects on the Salween river. The Hemgarh ideology has found a greater following with the constantly increasing members of the Arya Samaj. The administration expands with a new batch of officers being sworn in. Development of Banten was stepped up and a routine ship transport service was set up from Hemgarh to Andaman to Banten.| An army is raised in Banten with 70,000 soldiers. Land clearance projects are offered to individual groups and land and money is provided for the resettlement of people from Burma and Kalinga. Theravada Buddhist missionaries start converting people from Animism to Buddhism in Banten. Vajrayana Buddhist missionaries also arrive and maintain a minor presence. The Pali Canon is being translated to Magadhi.
 * Deccan and Dravidian Diplomacy: The Empire of Dravidia and Deccan offers and an alliance to Magadh. The Empire also offer to transfer control of Jagdalpur and the Dravidian exclave in exchange for the control of Banten and the Andaman islands. '''
 * Magadhi Diplomacy: The state of Magadh accepts the offer and the alliance.
 * United Kingdom of Great Britain:  Tariffs remain high on imports keeping Arcadia currently as Britain's main trading partner partner. To keep pushing up agricultural production more land is drained of water to access more farm lands. As part of mercantilism policies coal is taxed heavily if sold abroad. There is a continued growth in industry of textiles, iron manufacture and further construction of canals to allow the movement of raw materials such as coal and food. More coal mines open up to fuel the growing production of steelworks. The rise of the steam engine powers the coal mines pushing Britain to the lead in production while factories are also powered by them. Iron, cotton and other goods are all produced in new mills, factories and smelting plants. James Rumsey is granted a patent related to fluid power engineering, in England Patents are expanded on the steam engines and the sale of them overseas is forbidden as they are considered of national importance. The raise in farmer's poll tax is halted but more people continue to move to cities as they struggle under the burden. This causes an increase in investment in farming as the land has to be worked more labour efficiently. England has 7.7 million people and inside of that London has a population of 0.8 million, Wales has 0.7 million, Ireland has 4.7 million people and Scotland 1.2 million. The British army has 3000 in Portsmouth, 3000 in Aldershot, 2000 in Scotland, 3000 in Ireland while 2000 in Arcadia, 2000 in Casablanca, 1000 in English Maiam, 3000 in Haiti as well as 500 in St George, St Helena, New Canterbury and Bay of Kost. Criminals are deported to Arcadia. The navy has 50 ships in New London, Port au Prince and the remaining divided between Bristol and Portsmouth. As the proportion of urban to rural increases due to population growth cities expand as more factories grow. Trade with Uluru grows now that they have gold with everything from fishing hooks to guns being traded. The agreement the British have with the Uluru is also carried out. Sir Robert Clive continues to befriend the Emperor of Southern India. The south Indians are on their own in this whole Thuggee thing currently though. As Dehli and Khandesh becomes increasingly surrounded by its aggressive neighbour's who are trying to destroy them, envoys from the British East India Company and offer to protect Delhi and Khandesh from the imminent threats and its vassals in exchange for coming under the suzerainty of the company. (Mod response)
 * Kingdom of Avalon, Iroquois and Savannah: The Kingdom of Iroquois fearing conflict with natives or Burgundian or anyone really passes the military establishment act and restricts the passage of British troops. They do offer a number of experienced British officers positions in their forces and they establish a 2000 strong professional force. The three Kingdoms have their first separate Parliament elections this year. Each of the three kingdoms maintain a free trade status with Britain while restrict trade to other European powers. The Kingdom of Savannah continues to expand westwards 50 px from the Mander (Tennessee River) towards the Mecipici reaching the Iberian borders. The Kingdom of Avalon expands 50 px west towards Lake superior. The winter is an issue as some crops produce less yields but with the market for cotton rapidly expanding this does not deter farmers from trying to get more farms and pushing westwards in the search for water. The three Kingdom's still rely on their militia because of the size of the lands they hold There maintains a large export market to Britain for cash crops and staple foods especially cotton as the British cotton industry is rapidly growing. The population of Avalon is 0.7 million, Iroquois has 1.3 million and Savannah has one million.
 * Delhi and Khandesh agree. ~Cal
 * Dravidia and Deccan Diplomacy: The Empire offers an alliance to the United Kingdom of Great Britain.
 * British Dip: We agree to the alliance as proof to our new vassal Khandesh that we can adequately protect them.
 * Papal States: The Council continues, with the Ethiopian delegation raising interesting questions about Church and State. The Parlamento orders the building of better roads between Rome and the new states (recently annexed from the former Italian League) in order to better integrate them. In Southern Africa, the Prefect of the Zulu Mission congratulates the new Zulu king, and says several requiem masses for the soul of the first Christian king of the Zulu.


 * Swahili: We continue our agriculture policies and adapt more plants to the Swahili climate. We continue colonial expansion in Northern Somalia, in the South and in the Malindi and Mombassa area. Colonisation steadily increases as medicine and weaponry become more widespread. The reinforcement of the army of Mombassa and Army of Zanzibar forces the army of Mogadishu to retreat northwards. With the Southern campaign of Zakia over, both sides temporarily withholds advances to replenish their armies and accumulate supplies. Fighting is limited to minor clashes around the river Tana. The Sultan plans a visit to the island of Qamar to restore Swahili authority. The blockade around the Fundamentalists continue as the Royalist navy shells multiple ports. A small Fundamentalist emissary, disguised as merchants, manage to travel to the Ecumenical Caliphate and Jaffarids to request support for their holy struggle.
 * Sefuwa: The colony of Sefuwa continue development.
 * Huriya: Swahili culture is brought by merchants and diplomats. The economy is slowly integrated into that of Royalist Swahili following the facilitation of trade through roads and the influence of Swahili merchants.
 * Rowzi: Swahili culture is brought by merchants and diplomats. The economy is slowly integrated into that of Royalist Swahili following the facilitation of trade through roads and the influence of Swahili merchants.
 * Swahili Diplomacy to Dravidia: We propose an alliance and trade agreement with Dravidia.'''
 * Dravidia and Deccan Diplomacy: The Empire of Dravidia and the Deccan accept the Swahili offer of an alliance and accepts the trade agreement.
 * Swahili Diplomacy to Ethiopia: We accept the offer of friendship and request a trade agreement, sending many wares to the Emperor of Ethiopia.
 * Ethiopian Dip: We agree to a trade deal between the Swahilis and the Ethiopians, we accept the wares from Swahili, gifts are sent to the Swahili Sultan.'''
 * Swiss Confederacy: Last years compromise seems to have loosened tensions a bit between the Northerners and Southerners. Most cantons begin researching into technology, but it will be many years before the Swiss come anywhere near the technological prowess of the larger nations. Diplomacy continues to grow, with most focus being placed on relations between the largely Christian Swiss and the Papal States. The Volksgeist becomes popular in the north, and Huber's philosophies are largely accepted there, while being less accepted in the more Italian and French South.
 * Saxony: With the ruler continuing to age, Otto I abdicates the thrown and now remains home with his family to live his last years. Following this, his oldest son, Abellard I is corinated into the thrown. With this a new age begins in Saxony with an economic boom. Wineries and a variety of other shops open up. Squash from the new world is introduced with farms now trying to learn how to grow the vine plant. Development along the Rhine is increased and Rheinstadt is settled. This plans to be a highly developed town for business and trade along the river. With this, many of people begin to flock over. The first river ports and homes are constructed with 111 this year and with three schools and one doctor's office. a marketting place is also being constructed and drinking water is also being brought into the new town but it will be a few years till the area really starts booming. In the meantime the Business man's idea seems quite fascinating to many and the castle begins to built in a suburban area east of the capital. With trading still trying to be thought up an economic union and non aggression pact for 20 years is offered up to Prussia for regional benefits and more (MOD Response). The Volksgiest continues to become one of the most important books of the year being sold and in high demand. This opens the door for new thinking and The German University of Philosophy is founded. Otto I even gets caught in the mix and begins to support this philosopher's ideas. In the meantime, regional crop production spreads further. Iron continues to be used in large amounts for militaristic purposes and life moves on. The average pay for a man increases by 30%. Housing increases significantly and more schools are built which causes a drastic rise in literacy rates by 13% of the population within a year. Recruitments continue to be on the rise with 9000 men being recruited into the military.
 * Prussia accepts alliance and trade. - Mod


 * Dravidia and Deccan: The states of Maratha and Goa had been annexed. The Emperor was returning after touring his new possessions. His entourage set up camp near Ratnagiri for the night. He was assassinated while asleep by the Grand Vizier Sadullah Khan. The death of the heir-less Emperor set off a war of succession between his minister. Sadullah Khan was imprisoned by the Imperial guard. Sadullah Khan declared that the young man had lost his mind. The feudal nobility had lost its power and significance after the Maharajah of South India had abolished the feudal system and established an absolute monarchy. Seeking to take advantage of the opportunities created, army general Ganpati Rao decided to take the matter into his own hands. The Dravidian and Marathi people had started hating the emperor and referred to him as 'The Destroyer of Ratnagiri'. The people also equally hated the Thuggees and considered them a great nuisance as they looted, plundered and murdered for no reason at all. General Ganpati Rao easily gained respect of the people. Commanding the respect and loyalty of the army, he ordered 8000 of his best men to take down the Imperial Guard of 1000 and bring Sadullah Khan to him. 200,000 troops of the army moved to secure the Maratha states and Goa. Another 50,000 of his troops established control over Southern India. Ganpati Rao and 10,000 of his troops marched into Hyderabad and arrested the ministers. The ministers and Sadullah Khan were brought to Mysore and were publicly executed . Ganpati Rao called them the 'minions' of the emperor. In a bid to rid the Marathi and Dravidian people of the Thuggee nuisance in southern Maharashtra, 200,000 troops combed southern Maharashtra killing Thuggee gangs and burning down Thuggee settlements. Though the act was barbaric the Marathi people rejoiced at the end of the cult as they were now free to go about their business rather than being randomly murdered. The guerrilla war with the Thuggee cult continues (Not all 600,000 of them are fit for service) but is limited to southern Maharashtra. Ganpati Rao established complete control over the nation by the ending months of the year. Maharajah Ganpati Rao was crowned Emperor of Dravidia and the Deccan, and established Mysore as his capital. To establish the sovereignity of his Empire he sent offers for alliance to Magadh, Iberia, Britain and Swahili. In other news, urbanization continued to increase. A small Swahili quarter was established in the city of Kollam. Weapons production increased in Tanjore.
 * Please talk to rimp -Nate
 * Pontus: The country continues to modernize and the missionaries of the Armenian Apostolic Church travel with Russian help toward the Russian Arcadian colonies. Missionaries travel all the way into China, preaching and healing Chinese people in need of help. Turkish refugees arrive in the Pontus and the former ambassador to Eastern Rum explains them that the Turks will have to convert to the Christian Church in order to be allowed to live within Pontus. The fleet is damaged in Trebizond, and thus its headquarters is moved to Batumi. Rebuilding continues in Trebizond. King David XII passes away and fundamentalist Georgian Luarsab takes the throne. He institutes the coronation as the Emperor of Pontus and Georgia. 
 * Pueblo Confederacy: (sorry for the absence) We establish a series of forts along the OTL New Mexico Border to defend against Comanche and Apache raids. A trading post named San Moses is established on the shore of the Great Salt Lake. We modernize our forces to be 40% gunpowder units. Gold is found in the Rocky Mountains. Relations are strained with our southern neighbor of Aztlan. We warn them to lay off any ideas of northern expansion.

 * The Great Khanate: The Khanate begins to work on modernizing the state as the Khan begins to trade with traders from Persia and Afghanistan. We send an envoy to Russia, Persia and China asking for a trade deal. Roads are worked on and the Khan moves people to Turkmenibat and river like cities. While this happens attempts are made to create vast among of argucalutral land to create food. This does lead to the dislike of the Khan but the vast majority of people are too busy living to protest or fight. The religion of the Khannate goes under a new revolution as Islam makes a small kick back mostly around the Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan region as more and more trade is conducted with Persia and Arabia.
 * Russia: We gather up 100,000 men to attack Arabia the next year and offer Pontus and Belka the chance for some more territory (Player Response). Diplomats begin to gather for a mission to Atzlan to work of the Atzlan-Russian border claims in Arcadia.
 * Aztlan Dip: Diplomats of our nation are willing to discus the border claims in the region and the economic influences in the region.
 * Belkan Dip: We agree and deploy alongside our Russian allies.
 * The Magadh Mahajanpada: The port city of Paradwip witnesses a decline with Hemgarh becoming the major port and headquarters of the navy. The Hemgarh University continues to print the yearbooks. An extract from this year's yearbook 1849 Vikram Samvat reads: Work on major government projects continued throughout the year. These projects include the irrigation works on the three rivers and the construction of a strategic defensive area in the Shan area. Following the success of the line infantry regiment, the army decides to raise two more regiments. The regiments will be trained in the training grounds near Nalbari, the capital of Kamroop. Riots occurred in Kannauj over food shortages. The population of Patliputra reached 1.2 million people. The membership of the Arya Samaj rose to 0.8 million. A new batch of administrators was sworn-in. The government nationalized the textile manufactories in the month of Ashadh. The use of the crank-handle cotton gin was encouraged. New technologies including the stocking frame and the modern spinning wheel were bought and introduced to the manufactories. Restoration of the Mahabodhi temple continued. The road along the Irrawady has improved transport in the region. A similar project is planned for construction along the Salween river. The state acquired Jagdalpur and handed over control of Andaman islands and Banten to the Empire of Dravidia. The Empire of Dravidia became an ally of the Mahajanpada. The Pali Canon was published for the first time in Magadhi.| The training of a standing army of 40,000 troops was started under the supervision of Uzair Ahmed Khan.
 * Belkan Federation: The Belkan nation under Vozdh Milsevic continues to expand and build up its burgeoning industrial sector with multiple new factories opening up this year. Two factories specifically of the Steam Variety open up in Vasiligrad, using coal to power the devices to produce steam. The expansion of various new economic avenues puts a strain on Belkas trade as it is pushing for new sources of materials and markets. Seeing Russia's push on Arabia, and the now daunting need of the economy and the unsatisfied desires of the colonialists in the country lobbying heavily for colonial missions (no matter how unprofitable) the Belkan Vozdh and the Duma approve of a declaration of War on Arabia. 100,000 troops are marched through the Greek confederation to link up with Greek troops as well as co-ordinate with the Russians for their assault on Eastern Rum, and on top of this, the Belkan navy deploys its most modern battlgroups into the offensive on Arabia, running interference and playing with the admittedly small Arabian navy in the Med deploying 50,000 troops to Jaffa backed up by another force of 50,000 landing at Acre led by two new Generals. Generals Savarov, and the Legacy general Brusilov, the young Grandson of the elder Brusilov who was awarded his command at a young age. Belkan forces regardless of Casualties force a landing using their navy with nearly 40 ships split between three battlegroups with one covering Jaffa, one covering Acre, and the third running martial naval patrol on the landing zones. With this declaration of war many people with an air of superiority support this action, and the Military sees its reserves filled and its standing army of 500,000 with 200,000 abroad stand on alert ready to respond and flood the Arabians if the need arises. The Belkan government also requisitions nearly 30 warships from its Italian protectorate, the Venetian Republic to send off to the fight. However, they are exempted from army service overseas. Czechia remains noticeable silent on the issue instead focusing on its internal development and its own population growth. It also begins construction of its First Strategic fort to cover the low points of the mountains to prevent an easy entrance into the country.
 * The Ethiopian Emperor hears about the invasion of Arabia and sends a diplomat to Belka to Know which country they are invading in arabia and if they can help
 * Greek Confederation: The Greek confederation with the declaration of war on Arabia, harnesses its intense hatred for Muslims, marshalls nearly 50,000 troops to march on Arabia with its Belkan allies. Continued settlement of Western from continues with the re-establishment of the Theme system bringing much greek culture back to the region. The hub of this resettlement comes from Ancyra quickly becomming one of the confederations largest cities.
 * Swahili: We continue our agriculture policies and adapt more plants to the Swahili climate. We continue colonial expansion in Northern Somalia, in the South and in the Malindi and Mombassa area. Colonisation steadily increases as medicine and weaponry become more widespread. The Sultan is assassinated in his tour of Qamar and the power transitions to his son Khalfani and the powerful war minister, Kahili Odili. In response to the assassination, the army of Quelimane is moved to the island of Qamar to begin a great purge to find out the ringleaders of the assassination and elements of the resistance. Hundreds of thousands are accused and killed as the army goes into a frenzy of bloodshed and revenge. To prevent being targetted the bloodshed, many local militias were formed, but they were destroyed by the army under accusations of resistance and hundreds of local villages were levelled, its inhabitants slaughtered. A small Fundamentalist emissary, disguised as merchants, manage to travel to the Ecumenical Caliphate and Jaffarids to request support for their holy struggle.
 * Sefuwa: The colony of Sefuwa continue development.
 * Huriya: Swahili culture is brought by merchants and diplomats. The economy is slowly integrated into that of Royalist Swahili following the facilitation of trade through roads and the influence of Swahili merchants.
 * Rowzi: Swahili culture is brought by merchants and diplomats. The economy is slowly integrated into that of Royalist Swahili following the facilitation of trade through roads and the influence of Swahili merchants.


 * Empire of Dravidia: The Emperor of Dravidia, Haider Shah Agran continued his rule over his domain from his seat of government, the city of Hyderabad whilst his Grand Vizier, Sadullah Khan managed day-to-day affairs. The Dravidian population rose to about 62 million with the people flocking to cities like Mysore, Hyderabad, Tanjore, Madurai, Coimbatore, Kollam, Masulipatnam, Visakhapatnam, Gulburga and Mangalore as well as various other minor cities and townships throughout the south; primarily due to the rapid urbanization. This inflow of manpower has allowed the Empire to rapidly expand upon its fishery, pearl, shipbuilding, spices and tea industries, key businesses for those residing in coastal towns and port cities. It was agriculture though that served as Dravidia's largest economic focus, selling such goods as rice, wheat, maize, potatoes, indigo, opium, wheat, cannabis and other crops to European merchants as well as those from other states. Among these cash crops, jute, mulberry silk and muslin in particular served as the most important exports given the general need for them in Europe. Meanwhile, the Dravidian navy experimented on new larger classes of flag ships, churning out first rate ships for various fleets, and more third rates, and fourth rates with the occasional second rate to augment the smaller patrol fleets with the majority of the imperial navy harboured at the Kollam, Kalipur and Visakhapatnam ports. The Dravidian navy itself firmly stood at about 900 ships. Along the same time, a standardized army of roughly 60,000 men existed with an additional 100,000 conscripts to defend the state from any foreign invasion with the soldiers armed with flintlock rifles, and supported by iron-cased rocket artillery, designed indigenously in the city of Tanjore. Apart from the national army, an Imperial Guard was also propped up, mainly to protect the Monarch and his household from any threat. As such, quite a bit of importance was given to the production of firearms and gunpowder, with Tanjore soon becoming the epicentre of the Dravidian arms and rocket industry. Besides the firearms, the infantry was also equipped with daggers and swords to be utilised in close combat against the enemy. Along the same time, the Dravidian Renaissance was in full swing with pan-Dravidian movements such as the Young Dravidia movement established that espoused rationalism and atheism as the common denominators of civil conduct amongst the educated masses. With the war against the Goa Sultanate and the Maratha Principalities finally over, the territories that comprised those nations was annexed into the Dravidian Empire. In the war's aftermath, the Emperor decided to express his gratitude towards the Thuggees by having a city constructed to house their comnunity. The Thuggees were also selected to administer the former territories of the Goa Sultanate by acting as provincial ministers and civil servants, with the city of Kalipur (OTL Mumbai) designated as the provincial capital. Somultaneously, Muslims were appointed to rule over the former Maratha Principalities. Both of these decisions were made not only to incite secterian violence but to also bring about discord between the Maratha people who were now not only divided into a Northern and Southern Maharashtra but also with religious minorities appointed over them. To spill further fuel into the fire, the Emperor even directed members of the Young Dravidia movements to conduct public gatherings in Maharashtra to support Dalit rights in hopes of bringing about division along caste lines.
 * Hawaii: Expansion and settlement continues across the kingdom, especially in the Marshall Islands and the Santa Cruz Islands. King Kamehameha IV travels to Laurentia this year to meet with the leaders of the newly created French states on the continent. He spends time in the United Empire of Brésil hoping to meet with Nicolas I, just as his father had met with the governors of New France before him, and establish good relations and trade, and as such he formally recognizes the new states. On the islands the Kuhina Nui, Kekūanāoʻa, the king's first cousin, governs in his absense, and begins looking for suitable marriages for his children, Alexandre ʻIolani Liholiho, Marie Antoinette Kamāmalu, and David Lot Kapuāiwa.
 * Pontus: The country continues to modernize and the missionaries of the Armenian Apostolic Church travel with Russian help toward the Russian Arcadian colonies. Missionaries travel all the way into China, preaching and healing Chinese people in need of help. Turkish refugees arrive in the Pontus and the former ambassador to Eastern Rum explains them that the Turks will have to convert to the Christian Church in order to be allowed to live within Pontus. The fleet is damaged in Trebizond, and thus its headquarters is moved to Batumi. Rebuilding continues in Trebizond. Emperor Luarsab I declares war on Arabia along with its allies Russia and Belka and attacks Eastern Rum. 
 * Swiss Confederacy: With news of an upcoming war in Arabia approaching, the cantons hold an emergency Tagsatzung to discuss the issue. It is decided that the Swiss will remain neutral in this war, however, the cantons will freely sell weapons and supplies to both sides, and Swiss mercenaries are free to go to whichever side they'd like. News of the war starts a bout of Muslim hatred, and the University of Islamic Studies in Zurich is firebombed (thankfully, no one was hurt). The cantons continue to invest in technology, with several universities being planed for construction. The Volksgeist continues to become popular in the Northern cantons, with some fringe groups calling for a republic of the German people, but this is mostly ignored by most politicians.
 * Kingdom of Burgundy: Patagonië expands 50 px. The Burgundian presence on Sint Maarten (OTL Bathurst Island) is expanded. The use of steam engines is expanded, and several new factories are opened in Utrecht, Friesland, and Hainaut.
 * United Kingdom of Great Britain:  Tariffs remain high on imports keeping Arcadia currently as Britain's main trading partner partner. The Industrial revolution is starting in Britain with more people moving to the cities and technology changing when William Murdoch invents gas lighting and James Rumsey is granted a patent for a water turbine, in England. To keep pushing up agricultural production more land is drained of water to access more farm lands. As part of mercantilism policies coal is taxed heavily if sold abroad. There is a continued growth in industry of textiles, iron manufacture and further construction of canals to allow the movement of raw materials such as coal and food. The mining of coal continues to raise in the north of England and Wales as pits grow larger while coal is moved from the canals to the factories of the midlands. The rise of the steam engine powers the coal mines pushing Britain to the lead in production while factories are also powered by them. Iron, cotton and other goods are all produced in new mills, factories and smelting plants. England has 7.7 million people and inside of that London has a population of 0.8 million, Wales has 0.7 million, Ireland has 4.9 million people and Scotland 1.2 million. The British army has 3000 in Portsmouth, 3000 in Aldershot, 2000 in Scotland, 3000 in Ireland while 2000 in Arcadia, 2000 in Casablanca, 1000 in English Maiam, 3000 in Haiti as well as 500 in St George, St Helena, New Canterbury and Bay of Kost. Criminals are deported to Arcadia. The navy has 50 ships in New London, Port au Prince and the remaining divided between Bristol and Portsmouth. As the proportion of urban to rural increases due to population growth cities expand as more factories grow. Trade with Uluru grows now that they have gold with everything from fishing hooks to guns being traded. The agreement the British have with the Uluru is also carried out. Sir Robert Clive continues to befriend the Emperor of Southern India. In an attempt to ward off an invasion by the eastern Indians new European designed star fortresses which are built to withstand cannon are to be built at Hassanpur and Sanoli Khurd while in the south fortresses are built at Surat and Shirpur. Aware that while these defences will be strong they are only as powerful as their men. Soldiers are taken from the existing Sepoy legions and given commands of new units being raised with 60,000 soldiers raised from Dehli and vassals while another 30,000 from Khandesh in addition to the already 80,000 form the other three British states. These new Sepoy legions are line infantry and contained grenadiers and are commanded by a mix of British, Hindu and Muslim officers and men. This new well drilled and commanded force reassures people that Britain can protect them.
 * : Kingdom of Avalon, Iroquois and Savannah: The Apaches are settling down, the Kingdom of Avalon votes to create its own military to establish forts around the Great Lakes commissioning a full time force off 600 men to man three forts. Each of the three kingdoms maintain a free trade status with Britain while restrict trade to other European powers. The Kingdom of Savannah continues to expand westwards 50 px from the Mander (Tennessee River) towards the Mecipici reaching the Iberian borders. The Kingdom of Avalon expands 50 px west towards Lake superior. The winter is an issue as some crops produce less yields but with the market for cotton rapidly expanding this does not deter farmers from trying to get more farms and pushing westwards in the search for water. The three Kingdom's still rely on their militia because of the size of the lands they hold There maintains a large export market to Britain for cash crops and staple foods especially cotton as the British cotton industry is rapidly growing. The population of Avalon is 0.7 million, Iroquois has 1.3 million and Savannah has 1.1 million.
 * Pueblo Confederacy: We request an agreement with the Comanche. We ask for a temporary alliance to defend against Atzlan. (Mod Response)  Our Leader Kuuyi Taaqa died of natural causes. We use this as an opportunity to reform our government. The council of elders remains in place and they elect a new Chief Elder: Hodéezyéél. Another governing body is also formed called the Common House and its members are elected by the land owning males (for our Iberian citizens) or family heads (for our Arcadian citizens). The Common House elects a Prime Minister: Juan Gonzales. Further settlements are made along the northern Rocky Mountains. Treaties are proposed to the tribes in those areas. They can join the Confederacy and maintain all their current rights but gain representation and protection. Three newspapers a started; Two in Iberian and one in Navajo.

1793
''' Muslims and Turks in "Greece" begin a rebellion, taking advantage of the fact that the Greek army is away and also furious at a war with Arabia. The primary leader of the Turkic rebels is Yusuf Mustafa. A secret organization called The Young Turks is formed of ethnic Turks who appear to be loyal bureaucrats and workers in the Belkan Greek regime but are actually part of the rebel cause and are internally sabotaging the Greek government and war effort while also supplying information and aid to rebels. A major problem is that the wizened General Mustafa is from the old days of freedom and dislikes the Young Turks, who have only known the current regime and do not know the true Turkic culture or the freedom of Rum. The ruthless leader of the Young Turks, Osman Osman, orders the Young Turks who are in Mustafa's army to kill him. Osman's brother Ahmet Osman takes over as the military leader of the Turkic rebels. Meanwhile, Osman Osman decides to seek foreign aid for the Turkic cause, reaching out to the great powers of Europe, including France and Britain. '''

''' In Iberia, tax problems combined with bread problems lead to people rioting in the streets of the capital clamoring for Bread and Freedom. This culminates in a march on the royal palace. Although the king and some members of the royal family escape into the countryside, those who are left behind, including the queen, one of the king's sons, and other ancillary members of the royal family are executed. Upon arriving at one of his secure hunting lodges, the king orders the army to enter the capital and begin putting down the growing uprising. Unfortunately, the Bread Warriors seize control of the Cortes Generales, proclaim the start of the Bread Government, and encourage people across Iberia to join the fight for Bread and Freedom. The Bread Revolution seizes the people of Spain and the breakdown of authority is quick and final. In Gibraltar, the garrison is besieged by Bread Revolutionaries. The captain sends a soldier in the night to the harbor and orders him to tell any ship he can find to send aid if possible, promising a quick surrender to whoever relieves them. This message is delivered to the captain of British ship who hurries home to deliver the message. Meanwhile, the Bread Government invites the king to come back to the capital, abdicate the crown on behalf of himself and his son the crown prince, and transfer regency over his grandson to the Bread Lord himself, Esteban Cuelho. The king refuses and sends word to his allies asking for help. '''

''' In spite of Emperor Iyasu III's reforms, Egypt continues to have major violence in light of the war on Arabia, albeit somewhat abated. The net result is to stymie Ethiopia's offense in the region. The Emperor's cousin who he installed as a viceroy is stabbed in his sleep, presumably by his wife. When the emperor's men try to apprehend her, she escapes into the streets of Cairo with the help of her loyal Egyptian servants. The soldiers go into the city to find her but she is being hidden by the people of the city, who are loyal to her. The imperial soldiers get into a scuffle with the Caliph's guards when they demand entrance to the Caliph's mansion to search for the lost princess which ends with common people attacking and killing the guards. The Caliph decries their mob action as unjust and fears potential retribution from the Emperor. As such, he mobilizes his network of spies and secret agents across Egypt to prepare for a potential war. '''

''' In the Rhineland League, Lothair Bonaparte proposes drastic reforms to the structure of the league, including a strong centralization of the government, introduction of popular democracy, and the shift of power from the Kaiser to the Chancellor. These reforms are viewed with great distaste and suspicion by the powers that be. The noble princes and counts and other titled men dislike Lothair because all Bonapartes and Bonapaarts and Buonapartes have always been viewed as lesser men, nothing more than upjumped servants, across all of Europe, from the great explorer Ludwig to the king Carlo. Regardless, they agree to centralize power in the League because it also means more power for them. They are opposed to his other ideas because it would run counter to their ideas. His primary opponent is Rudolf, Count of Meinhard. Meanwhile, Lothair's son Alexander Napoleon visits Iberia to witness the Bread Revolution and learn the ways of war. '''

''' Bavaria, feeling threatened by potential invasions from neighboring German powers, decides to enter the Rhineland League, like its neighbor Swabia. '''


 * Empire of Ethiopia: Egypt is Heavily Militarized, Cairo is put on lockdown, Alexandria is under constant surveillance, The Emperor Sees war as inedible, he installs His Counsin's Brother As Prince of Egypt and puts his Palace on lockdown, security forces search for the Rouge Princess, Egyptian rebels start to Fight. The Emperor Cancels any Sort of interest in joining the war against Arabia and plans for a counter-rebellion, The Egyptian Rebels in Cairo are quickly Put down but more Rebellions ensue, The Emperor Reaches Out to the Pope for help Papal Response The Navy Secures Port towns and blockades the Entrance to the Nile, Ethiopian Forces quickly Occupy far south of Egypt, Alexandria is Kept Stable, No information about the recent Affairs have been Released, no one but Ethiopian Officials may enter the city now.
 * Aztlan Federation: The President Asks the Comanche for a peace deal and land exchanges with them. (mod response) This is done so that the President can Focus on devoloping the nation and making the infrastructure to be able to have easy supplies for the army. Our Great Senate Also asks the pueblo people for the cooling of relations and making them stable again. In Tenochtitlán the first Nahuatl Dictionary is published which is called "dicionário". This first Nahuatl Book greatly helps Nahuatl nationalism in the people. Military forts are also build allong the Comanche and Pueblo border and some setlements are build near the Iberian border. The First Rum Distilary is registered in Santo Didacus which is called "Destilaria de rum de Rico."Our Federal Senate also offers to buy Western Puerto Rico from the United Kingdom(players response).


 * Swahili: We continue our agriculture policies and adapt more plants to the Swahili climate. We continue colonial expansion in Northern Somalia, in the South and in the Malindi and Mombassa area. Colonisation steadily increases as medicine and weaponry become more widespread. The Great Qamarese Massacre ends with at least 1.5 million dead Qamarese and at least 300,000 dead Swahili soldiers, militias and citizens caught in retribution. The Qamaresr situation returns to stability as both sides calm down. On the mainland, Azizi, the Royalist Swahili general, launches a new offensive with the army of Zanzibar, now 75,000 strong, across the river Tana. Zakia moves to the invasion and sends the 45,000 strong army of Zakia to delay it while the 55,000 strong army of Mogadishu is also sent to reinforce and fight back with the army of Zakia. The sudden loss of young man in the work environment due to the civil war causes a sudden burst of adoption of basic labour-saving tools and automations for both Royalist and Fundamentalist Swahili, yet the large manufactories in Royalist Swahili, particularly those in Malindi, Mombassa, Ibo and Zanzibar allows the mechanization to proceed at a quicker pace than Fundamentalist Swahili. A Swahili clothing manufactory engineer independently develops the power loom to keep up with the uniform orders as larger and larger sectors of the population marches to war. A weapon smith in Ibo discovers titanium while processing weapons. He records it as an independent element different from iron. A small Fundamentalist emissary, disguised as merchants, manage to travel to the Ecumenical Caliphate and Jaffarids to request support for their holy struggle.
 * Sefuwa: The colony of Sefuwa continue development.
 * Huriya: Swahili culture is brought by merchants and diplomats. The economy is slowly integrated into that of Royalist Swahili following the facilitation of trade through roads and the influence of Swahili merchants.
 * Rowzi: Swahili culture is brought by merchants and diplomats. The economy is slowly integrated into that of Royalist Swahili following the facilitation of trade through roads and the influence of Swahili merchants.
 * Pontus: The country continues to modernize and the missionaries of the Armenian Apostolic Church travel with Russian help toward the Russian Arcadian colonies. Missionaries travel all the way into China, preaching and healing Chinese people in need of help. Turkish refugees arrive in the Pontus and the former ambassador to Eastern Rum explains them that the Turks will have to convert to the Christian Church in order to be allowed to live within Pontus. Any Young Turks within Pontus are put in a creation of Emperor Luarsab, a concentration camp. The fleet is damaged in Trebizond, and thus its headquarters is moved to Batumi. Rebuilding continues in Trebizond. Emperor Luarsab I declares war on Arabia along with its allies Russia and Belka and attacks Eastern Rum. 
 * Jaffarid Sultanate of Arabia: Thought I was dead, huh? The war has rallied large support against the invading enemies of Russia, Pontus, and the Belkan Federation. A garrison of troops is rallied in Iran and Arabia, following not only general patriotism to go to war, but mass conscription of able-bodied men age 16-21 brings together a final total of 500,000 men. Using the mountains of Circassia, Shirvan, Ganja, and Azerbaijan to defend against the Russian army, unconventional tactics and sabotage of supplies lines going between Russia and their territory in vassals are used as a means of weakening the general force before ultimately surrounding them and killing small camps and squads. This occurs with all soldiers distanced from the main base of operations, and figure that this would weaken the morals of the soldiers and cause many to simply become afraid of the war. In terms of the war against Belka, troops are sent to "draw" a line to properly defend against the Belkan's as a means of stopping any further expansion into the state. With the Pontus invasion, many of the same tactics are used. Sultan Asim II secretly sends in revolutionaries into the Ethiopian Empire as a means of helping the Caliphate. A secret meeting between the Khanate and Arabia is held, in which a proper counter-invasion is planned.
 * House of Jaffar: The leader of the House of Jaffar, Abdul Ghafoor al-Jaffar, looks for outside help with the war against Belka in particular, as Russia is being properly dealt with by the Sultan. To begin with, we ask the Ecumenical Caliphate for military help if possible, and Numerous diplomats are sent to France, Great Britain, the Holy Roman Empire, and Scandinavia. The diplomats are to give a speech about how Belka and Russia are not only becoming a growing power in Eastern Europe, but also a disaster for many European nations and their interests. Smearing the name of republicanism and its effects on humans living in western Anatolia, Belka and Russia are chosen as enemies of Europe, and if not dealt with properly, then they could ruin the rule of the monarchy and strip the powers of which the royal family have, possibly jeopardizing the government itself. At the end, we request that a coalition war against Russia and the Belkan Federation is started in allowance for exploitation of natural resources in Arabia for 30 years, as well as the ownership of many ports in Jerusalem as well as the Mediterranean ports along the Levant itself, as well as ownership of ports in Iran. Other diplomats are sent to the Jin Dynasty, as a means of opening up a front in Siberia, while diplomats being sent to Swahili, asking for logistical help (Player/ Mod).


 * Empire of Dravidia: The Emperor of Dravidia, Haider Shah Agran continued his rule over his domain from his seat of government, the city of Hyderabad whilst his Grand Vizier, Sadullah Khan managed day-to-day affairs. The Dravidian population rose to about 62 million with the people flocking to cities like Mysore, Hyderabad, Tanjore, Madurai, Coimbatore, Kollam, Masulipatnam, Visakhapatnam, Gulburga and Mangalore as well as various other minor cities and townships throughout the south; primarily due to the rapid urbanization. This inflow of manpower has allowed the Empire to rapidly expand upon its fishery, pearl, shipbuilding, spices and tea industries, key businesses for those residing in coastal towns and port cities. It was agriculture though that served as Dravidia's largest economic focus, selling such goods as rice, wheat, maize, potatoes, indigo, opium, wheat, cannabis and other crops to European merchants as well as those from other states. Among these cash crops, jute, mulberry silk and muslin in particular served as the most important exports given the general need for them in Europe. Meanwhile, the Dravidian navy experimented on new larger classes of flag ships, churning out first rate ships for various fleets, and more third rates, and fourth rates with the occasional second rate to augment the smaller patrol fleets with the majority of the imperial navy harboured at the Kollam, Kalipur and Visakhapatnam ports. The Dravidian navy itself firmly stood at about 900 ships. Along the same time, a standardized army of roughly 60,000 men existed with an additional 100,000 conscripts to defend the state from any foreign invasion with the soldiers armed with flintlock rifles, and supported by iron-cased rocket artillery, designed indigenously in the city of Tanjore. Apart from the national army, an Imperial Guard was also propped up, mainly to protect the Monarch and his household from any threat. As such, quite a bit of importance was given to the production of firearms and gunpowder, with Tanjore soon becoming the epicentre of the Dravidian arms and rocket industry. Besides the firearms, the infantry was also equipped with daggers and swords to be utilised in close combat against the enemy. Along the same time, the Dravidian Renaissance was in full swing with pan-Dravidian movements such as the Young Dravidia movement established that espoused rationalism and atheism as the common denominators of civil conduct amongst the educated masses. With a civil war having started in the Iberian Peninsula, the Grand Vizier Sadullah Khan began financing the infiltration of Thuggees into the Iberian enclaves bordering Dravidia, with Goa being the prime target. The Thuggees were assigned to conduct attacks upon Iberians residing in the enclaves and to essentially start a revolt against the colonial authorities. Meanwhile, sectarianism took an ugly turn in Kerala when Brahmins burned down an entire Dalit village and crucified the village's inhabitants after learning that they had converted to Christianity. The situation fortunately calmed down when the local authorities intervened, preventing any further damage for being done. Unfortunately, it was nonetheless a clear sign of the increasingly growing hatred towards the emancipation of dalits. Concurrently, by now the Emperor was generally referred to as Haider the Terrible, largely due to his involvement in the Massacre of Ratnagiri. Of course, this was a title attributed to him mainly by the Maratha. Others, such as the Dravidians and the Dakhinis called him Haider the Fearsome while the Thuggees would go yet another step further by referring to him as Haider the Holy.
 * United Kingdom of Great Britain:  Tariffs remain high on imports keeping Arcadia currently as Britain's main trading partner partner. The Industrial revolution is starting in Britain with more people moving to the cities and technology changing when William Murdoch invents gas lighting and James Rumsey is granted a patent for a water turbine, in England. To keep pushing up agricultural production more land is drained of water to access more farm lands. As part of mercantilism policies coal is taxed heavily if sold abroad. There is a continued growth in industry of textiles, iron manufacture and further construction of canals to allow the movement of raw materials such as coal and food. The mining of coal continues to raise in the north of England and Wales as pits grow larger while coal is moved from the canals to the factories of the midlands. The rise of the steam engine powers the coal mines pushing Britain to the lead in production while factories are also powered by them. Iron, cotton and other goods are all produced in new mills, factories and smelting plants. England has 7.8 million people and inside of that London has a population of 0.8 million, Wales has 0.7 million, Ireland has 5.1 million people and Scotland 1.2 million. The British army has 3000 in Portsmouth, 3000 in Aldershot, 2000 in Scotland, 3000 in Ireland while 2000 in Arcadia, 2000 in Casablanca, 1000 in English Maiam, 3000 in Haiti as well as 500 in St George, St Helena, New Canterbury and Bay of Kost. Criminals are deported to Arcadia. The navy has 50 ships in New London, Port au Prince and the remaining divided between Bristol and Portsmouth. Seeing everything that is going on in Gibraltar, the Admiralty commissions Admiral Harvey to take 30 ships, two line regiments and a royal marine company totalling to around 2000 men to relieve the siege of Gibraltar because this is currently the only known internal resistance to the madness of the Bread government. A direct intervention into Iberia itself without some support from the Iberians themselves is currently ruled out. Once Gibraltar falls the victorious forces occupy it and prepare to defend it.  As the proportion of urban to rural increases due to population growth cities expand as more factories grow. Intervention in Turkey is impossible while Britain does not have access to the Mediterranean sea but Parliament will review the plea of Osman Osman for help at a later date. Construction work on star forts continue in India in addition to the training and expansion of company run forces.
 * Kingdom of Avalon, Iroquois and Savannah: The Apaches are settling down, the Kingdom of Avalon votes to create its own military to establish forts around the Great Lakes commissioning a full time force off 600 men to man three forts. Each of the three kingdoms maintain a free trade status with Britain while restrict trade to other European powers. The Kingdom of Savannah continues to expand westwards 50 px from the Mander (Tennessee River) towards the Mecipici reaching the Iberian borders. The Kingdom of Avalon expands 50 px west towards Lake superior. The winter is an issue as some crops produce less yields but with the market for cotton rapidly expanding this does not deter farmers from trying to get more farms and pushing westwards in the search for water. The three Kingdom's still rely on their militia because of the size of the lands they hold There maintains a large export market to Britain for cash crops and staple foods especially cotton as the British cotton industry is rapidly growing. Hannah Slater applies for a Kingdom of Iroquois patent for her new method of producing sewing thread from cotton. The population of Avalon is 0.7 million, Iroquois has 1.3 million and Savannah has 1.1 million.


 * Kingdom of Cambodia: After the death of the previous monarch, the Kingdom of Cambodia has crowned King Esudok as the new reigning monarch. We have now gathered a strong population of 5.3 million and are further growing through diplomacy in the region. Cambodians look forward into the future and see a powerful Cambodia.
 * Salish Nation: Our nation has radicly changed. Thus, Alexander Suiattle commissions the third surveying of our nation. The results show that Russian is now understood by a majority of our 70,000 salish. Our largest industries are Farming, Fishing, and Whaling. With some Russian people living within our borders, we learn metalworking, and begin a project to arm our warriors with guns. We officially claim all land West of the Cascades but north of OTL Eugene and South of OTL Nanaimo, but are doubtful that our claims will be recognized. As such, an embassy is established in Aztlan to negotiate an alliance. Construction of a Lucentium-Dwuamish road begins. Technology also begins to filter up from the Aztlani state of California. WIP.
 * Swiss Confederacy: After hearing the Spanish kings pleads to fight the Bread Government, about 200 well trained Swiss mercenaries answer his call for help and join the Spanish forces. They expect this to lead to large profits for their companies if the Spanish win this war. The cantons continue to invest in technology, with several universities now under construction. The impact of The Volksgeist continues to expand, as notions of a German Nation become more recognized in general Northern politics. This worries the South, as Zurich is probably the most important city in the Confederacy, and losing it to a "German Republic" would certainly hurt the South, perhaps irreparably. It all seems to be politics for now, though, as no serious efforts of separation are at hand.


 * China: Due to mounting government programs and low tax rates, the surplus of the National Treasury begins to decline. This is also partially due to government corruption stemming from an oversaturated bureaucracy, as well as overly extravagant lifestyles among aristocrats and royalty, including the Qianlong Emperor himself. The lease on Gulangyu (for the Ecumenical Caliphate) and Macau (Iberia) is ended, but merchants from both have special status on the two aforementioned territories. The Qianlong Emperor awards titles to the descendants of the House of Yi (which ruled over Joseon Korea), for the repression experienced during the late Ming and Bao dynasties, and their resistance against Islamicization. Border guards begin warding off illegal Russian settlements in Chinese vassals, such as North Mongolia and Sakha. The Eastern-rite Church (or the Holiest Procurator of the Heavenly Teachings in the East) asserts itself as a brand of folk Catholicism, and begins purging corrupt officials within its clergy in order to increase its appeal. The Holy Confucian Church continues its attempts to centralize Confucian beliefs (which is largely influenced by the shixue sect); distributing compilations of Confucian holy texts such as the Five Books and the Four Classics, and the Analects. Various Confucian temples are built across the country, and a clergy split into multiple ranks is established. Worship of the Heavens, and by extension, the Emperor is emphasized. Agricultural productivity rises due to implementation of irrigation and more resource-intensive methods. Both grains and cash crops are widely cultivated. The mining industry experiences a boom, with vast reserves of high-quality anthracite, gold and copper being found and exploited. Restrictions against resource exploration is abolished. Industrial facilities continue to churn out massive volumes of wrought iron from pig iron, as well as gunpowder and other processed commodities; most of which are used in the production of various armaments, firearms, and artillery. Commercialization continues, aided by heavy infrastructural development, urbanization, and a strong internal demand for consumer and luxury items (textiles, jewellery, cosmetics etc.). Basic sanitation and hygiene is taught, and public bathhouses, spas, latrines and sewage systems are all built. In Zaihaibian, Suolong and Nangang all expand. Fire-fallow cultivation is encouraged, leading to rapid deforestation of the forest, with local tribes being forcibly assimilated or expelled.
 * Nivkh Commandery: Tiger Pastries Inc., a subsidiary of Lady Lin Tea, continues to flourish as a business. The Nivkh Prince-Governor (which is the member of the Nivkh Ayzik branch of the House of Kim) continues to adopt Korean and Chinese architecture, paving roads to facilitate transport, and replacing wood and thatch roofing with stone bricks and clay tiles, respectively.
 * Sakha (protectorate): The Khan continues to adopt Korean and Chinese architecture, paving roads to facilitate transport, and replacing wood and thatch roofing with stone bricks and clay tiles, respectively. Siberian crab-apples become a local renowned fruit, and is particularly prized in Korea and northern China.
 * Xizang (protectorate): Lhasa, the capital, is expanded and modernized. The Tibetan clergy continues to administer the protectorate, with its leader, the Dalai Lama, being considered a vassal or substitute monarch. Many Tibetans are encouraged (via financial incentives) to become more sedentary, with food instead being supplied from nearby Sichuan (thereby reducing over reliance in inefficient herding).
 * North Mongolia: Yurt is further settled. A healthy aquiculture industry is established, harvesting and raising fish from the Baikal Lake.
 * Malaya: The King, like his cousin, abdicates from the throne due to exhaustion. He passes the throne to his nephew, Cheng Han Ping. The new King begins extending relations to Sumatra and Aceh, having holidayed there several times during his youth. He aims to form a bridge between the different cultures and religions of the few nations that have common ground under Burgundian protection and influence. Minerals have been discovered in our Bornean territory, and mines are built to obtain deposits of nickel, tin and in some places gold and diamond. The Black Fever has made resurgences in the nation over time, but have been contained by the efforts of professional doctors, save for one case where the patient has about to be "exorcised" by a self-proclaimed Anguzi healer by being boiled alive in oil. Effective methods for containing this disease have been documented, and new guidelines have been set in place to limit the spread of such diseases in the future.
 * Brasil: After hearing about the battle plans being written in the Viceroyalty of Peru and the building up of a force there, Emperor Nicolas continues to order the army to stay stationary in the major cities throughout Brasil. In a joint statement, the Grand Assembly and the Emperor officially standardize wages in the army, declare a conscript system, and rename the force the Grande Armée. Loyalists continue to be tried in national courts, even at faster rates than before. With the Emperor’s support, the Grand Assembly passes the Embargo Act which declares a trade embargo with France unless Brésilian independence is recognized by them and a truce is signed between the two nations.


 * Kingdom of Burgundy: the States-General declares support for the Iberian Royalists, sending a detachment of the High Seas Fleet to assist them, including carrying supplies for the besieged Royalists at Gibraltar, and bombarding the besieging revolutionaries.

''' The Young Turk Rebellion begins to be more centralized, with Osman's army pushing out Greek control from the Bursa region as far as the outskirts of Nicea, gaining momentum as he goes.

 * China: In response to a draining National Treasury (as the surplus wanes), the Qianlong Emperor begins to cut down on the oversaturated bureaucracy, deciding to host imperial examinations every five years instead of the traditional three years, triggering some Confucianist hardliners and traditionalists. He also tries to clamp down on corruption, purging corrupt aristocrats and scholar-officials. In addition, he restores the land tax, though fixes it at a low rate to avoid any public upheaval. Gulangyu and Macau are integrated as directly-administered municipalities, their status before Arab and Iberian (respectively) cession. Border guards continue to expel illegal Russian settlers trespassing into Chinese vassals such as North Mongolia, Sakha, and Nivkhgu, but refuses to alert the Russian government to avoid any diplomatic tension. The Holy Confucian Church continues its free public distribution of compilations of Confucian holy texts, and encouraging Confucians to join the Church and participate in communal rites as interpreted from the Confucian classics. The Eastern-rite Church (or the Holiest Procurator of the Heavenly Teachings in the East) continues to purge its clergy of corrupt officials, while launching active missionary campaigns to curtail the influence of foreign missionaries. However, they still fail to compete with the appeal of Immaculata missionaries in Korea (where they have a more strong influence), though achieve massive success in China. Agricultural productivity rises due to implementation of irrigation and more resource-intensive methods. Both grains and cash crops are widely cultivated. The mining industry, propelled by restrictions against logging and a high demand for tax funds, experiences a boom, with vast reserves of high-quality anthracite, gold and copper being found and exploited. Multiple chaebols in the sector are given government subsidies in-exchange for a particularly volume of precious metals shipped yearly. However, this also results in false reporting to fulfil quotas and the displacement of various communities near mining sites. Industrial facilities continue to churn out massive volumes of wrought iron derived from pig iron, as well as gunpowder and other processed commodities; most of which are utilised in the production of various armaments, firearms, and artillery. Iron-cased rockets are developed by a group of scholar-officials in Dalyeon, but however, are still in experimental phase. Korean multiple-rocket launchers are still preferred. Immense commercialization continues, aided by heavy infrastructural development, urbanization, and a strong internal demand for consumer goods and luxury items. Basic sanitation and hygiene is taught, and public bathhouses, spas, latrines and sewage systems are all built. In Zaihaibian, Suolong and Nangang all expand. Fire-fallow cultivation is encouraged, leading to rapid deforestation of the forest, with local tribes being forcibly assimilated or expelled.
 * Nivkh Commandery: Tiger Pastries Inc., a subsidiary of Lady Lin Tea, continues to flourish as a business. The Nivkh Prince-Governor (which is the member of the Nivkh Ayzik branch of the House of Kim) continues to adopt Korean and Chinese architecture, paving roads to facilitate transport, and replacing wood and thatch roofing with stone bricks and clay tiles, respectively.
 * Sakha (protectorate): The Khan continues to adopt Korean and Chinese architecture, paving roads to facilitate transport, and replacing wood and thatch roofing with stone bricks and clay tiles, respectively. Siberian crab-apples become a local renowned fruit, and is particularly prized in Korea and northern China.
 * Xizang (protectorate): Lhasa, the capital, is expanded and modernized.

Many Tibetans are encouraged (via financial incentives) to become more sedentary, with food instead being supplied from nearby Sichuan (thereby reducing overreliance in inefficient herding).
 * North Mongolia: Yurt is further settled. A healthy aquiculture industry is established, harvesting and raising fish from the Baikal Lake.
 * Papal States: Pope Innocent IX is shocked by the sudden rise of revolutionary governments around Europe. He writes a document, Immensa dolor, on the topic. The encyclical letter begins by expressing concern for the destitution faced by many in the countries which have been affected by the revolts, and notes the desperation which such hardships can bring. However His Holiness then writes that despite this, violent overthrow of the government is not the answer. Whilst noting that tyrannocide can be justified in certain circumstances (according to classical Catholic teaching), the widespread bloodshed which has followed these revolutions is not. Moving on. The delegations of Ethiopia and China are asked to respond to the request in the Council of Vasiligrad to unify with the universal Church. Financial support is given to Ethiopia. Missions in Zulu, Uluru, and Western Arcadia continue, as well as elsewhere.
 * The Aztlan Federation: Santo Didacus replaces Lucentum as capital of the State of Grande Califórnia to make the comunication between California and the capital of Guadalajara. Guadalajara becomes the new capital with no state above it acting as a federal district. The senate also begins to fund Cotton farming in the country to help for military uniforms and its allies. Our Senate also asks the United Kingdom of they can buy parts of western Puerto Rico from them (Player response). Mérida becomes the hosting city for the Aztlan Federal Navy. This is done to get more influence and trade to our nation and its peoples. The navy also for the first time uses the Aztlan flag on its boats while sailing close to the Cuban Coast.Nahuatl Also begins a period of revival with a "Dicionário de palavras-chave"("Dictionary of Loanwords") being published for the people to get new words for concepts and things they are unknown to Nahuatl.This Nahuatl Rivivalism makes ground for the founding of the "partido nacionalista nahuatl" ("nahuatl nationalist party").This is a party who longs for the Revival of All things Aztec and Nahuatl for exceptions on religious activities.
 * Belkan Federation: While the rise of the remaining Anatolian Turks is not exactly a surprise, its inconvenient timing forces a session of congress to be convened. with nearly 300,000 soldiers still remaining throughout the homeland, the stabilization act of '94 is passed with one explicit goal, put down the Turkish revolt at all costs. of the 300,000 strong forces almost 200,000 are deployed in earnest across the straits to Nicaea and the forces deployed to Acre and Jaffa are pulled back as well abandoning their positions in Palestine. With some other forces tied up in the East, the Belkan home armies are designated to handle the revolt, and with the withdraw of the 100,000 men from the near east ports and redeployment to the Greek confederation, the Belkan military begins campaigning from the West bringing the entire army to bear on the Young Turks in a large scale envelopment maneuver at their assault near Nicaea planning entirely to surround and destroy the rebel army. As a result of this war erupting, the Belkan reserves begin to be mobilized with almost 150,000 men put into uniform this year to be prepared to send across the straits to put down the Turks once and for all.
 * Hawaii: Colonization and settlement of the many territories of Hawaii continue, particularly in the new settlements of Mamaopaena, as these outposts serve as important stops between the western part of the kingdom and Hawaii's many trade partners. Trade missions/expeditions to the southern continent hoping to make contact with the native people there continue, although they still prove unsuccessful. The sandalwood industry continues to boom, with trade between east and west intensifying. The king and his Minister of the Navy, Louis Moreau, decide that Hawaii must expand its navy if it hopes to continue expanding and defending its empire. By this time the nation operates a small fleet of European ships, although most of them are refitted former trade ships and other small vessels that were purchased or gifted by European powers. This is in addition to the over 1000 war canoes that the nation can levy from feudal vassals, of which the king owns the largest amount personally, and a few hundred of the large canoe-European ship hybrids that helped the nation expand into Polynesia. As part of a new expansion, Moreau recommends expanding the naval yard in Honolulu, Kaluahine, and other major port cities, and using European craftsmen and experts to construct the first native Hawaiian vessels in the western style. A brig known as the HHMS Kaimiloa begins construction as a prototype. Inoculation continues across the nation and proves to be successful.
 * United Kingdom of Great Britain:  Tariffs remain high on imports keeping Arcadia currently as Britain's main trading partner partner. To keep pushing up agricultural production more land is drained of water to access more farm lands. As part of mercantilism policies coal is taxed heavily if sold abroad. There is a continued growth in industry of textiles, iron manufacture and further construction of canals to allow the movement of raw materials such as coal and food.
