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.

Plausibility Strikes
'''Three strikes and you're out! Each strike resets after 30 years of the most recent strike.'''
 * Adolf Coffee - I (1800)

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.

''' The Jiaqing Emperor dies. '''

''' Napoleon Bonaparte gathers a small army and marches to confront the Revolutionary Council. He gives them the option of surrendering power to him or doing. They vote 4-3 to surrender and he exiles them to Laurentia. Napoleon holds new elections and his partisans win with an overwhelming majority. The result has been falsified and exaggerated, but he did actually win the majority of the vote. Napoleon declares that he has the mandate and proclaims himself Chancellor. He is now also a great leader. '''

''' A storm wrecks Belkan and allied ships off the Egyptian coast. Many of the men on the boats are dead, although a few managed to swim to shore. Meanwhile, the fighting continues, with the Egyptians lead by Muhammad Ali. '''


 * Illinois Confederation: Slivers lynxs son is born, name Three Crows he will become chief by age 14 as a great prophecy told my the medicine women snowdove, it tells that three crows will grow the Confederation from their heartland south to the great serpent back (Ozarks), north toward the mouth of great spirit (Lake Itasca), west toward Lone Horn (Pikes Peak) and east toward one turtle (Diamond Island, KY), with our traders in parts of whites land we ask the locals to get a leader from the area to come to illibuck to talk about trading other such things (Britain's reposes needed),  in the meanwhile we keep doing trades roots and keep growing corn and buckwheat, we raise up 400 more warriors and we expand 30 px north (Sturgeon MO)
 * Empire of Dravidia (Ziyad): Following three years of continous fighting, a breakthrough was finally found, allowing the royalists to decisively crush the rebel forces at the Battle of Srirangapatna. This opening was owed largely to the arrival of Thuggee reinforcements under the command of Behram Jamedar, who aggressively penetrated deep into enemy lines and pushed them within range of the Dravidian artillery, essentially routing the enemy forces in a matter of hours. As the rebel soldiers began to flee in the ensuing chaos, they were persued by Ziyad, with many of them slaughtered and the remaining captured. Ziyad may have been the one who remained courageous and steadfast at the battlefield of Srirangapatna, labouring alongside his soldiers for over two years but it would unfortunately not be him, rather instead Behram who would be remembered for the victory; such was life. The Rais of Shiraz's forces, Gangadhar Rao was captured as well but instead of having him executed, Ziyad offered the prisoner the choice to join him. Surprisingly, Gangadhar agreed to discard his loyalty to Shiraz and swore allegiance to Ziyad instead, rather strange behavior for someone who had fought so ferociously for Shiraz not too long ago. With the battle won, Ziyad and his army victoriously entered into the city of Mysore, marching straight through its streets and alleys as the people watched, wondering if Ziyad planned on killing them all. Fortunately for them, he had no such plans. Mysore was of too great value to simply be thrown away and sacked and Ziyad was well aware of that. Instead, he delivered a fiery speech in the midst of the people, calling upon to make the right choice by turning against the treacherous Shiraz and to be his witness as he raised hell upon the remaining rebels. Within a fortnight of the conquest of Mysore, Ziyad and the allied host began marching toward Tanjore, hoping to bring a quick end to the war. Unfortunately for them, whilst midway to Shiraz's capital, they were informed of the news that whilst Warren Hastings had went off to capture Masulipatnam, Idris had snuck away from the blockade of Kollam, proclaimed himself Emperor and taken over Hyderabad (with Gulburga already being in his possession). This news practically enraged Ziyad as not only was the Grand Vizier at Hyderabad but so were Ziyad's wives and his children. This essentially placed more than a dozen bargaining chips in Idris's hands and made almost all of Ziyad's inner circle hostages. Stuck in a total deadlock and fearing the worst, Ziyad seriously considered marching back to Hyderabad but was convinced by Robert Clive to keep on track and continue onward toward Tanjore. Robert made it clear that if Idris wanted to harm the hostages, there really was no possible way to stop him and that as far as taking back the city was concerned, they could depend upon Warren to do it as he had successfully captured Masulipatnam by now (reportedly also sacking the city and slaughtering its inhabitants) and was therefore free to retake Hyderabad. Although it was an incredibly difficult decision as it involved abandoning his family to fate, Ziyad eventually did realize that Robert was indeed correct. Nevertheless, he still felt the need to have someone supervise the retaking of Hyderabad (having grown to distrust Warren due to him leaving Hyderabad defenseless), and as such, sent Gangadhar Rao north to assist Warren. This action was opposed by Robert as well as Ziyad's other advisors as Gangadhar wasn't trustworthy yet but Ziyad had his orders carried out regardless of that, even going one step ahead and naming Gangadhar the new Grand Vizier. With Gangadhar sent away to deal with Idris, Ziyad's forces and the allied armies continued on toward Tanjore, reaching it in time and laying siege to it. Meanwhile, at Hyderabad, Idris had the Grand Vizier Sadullah Khan, the Chancellor and almost all of the Viziers beheaded on charges of treason whilst Ziyad's wives were publically stoned and the imperial harem was made open to Idris's soldiers for them to forcefully take whoever they felt like. Ziyad's children however were not harmed as they were to serve as hostages for the time being and were as such thrown away into dungeons. While these actions were quite drastic and harsh, Idris felt they were justified as Ziyad would have done the same and that it was neccessary to eliminate any hostile elements that could pose as a risk. Regardless of how the general public may have felt about these acts of cruelty, they were easily able to impress Chandra Banj Deo, the ruler of Jagdalpur. It impressed him to such an extent that he not only responded to Idris's demand for oaths of fealty by swearing allegiance to the occupier of Hyderabad, but Chandra raised his army and began marching toward Hyderabad as well, hoping to join up with Idris. Unfortunately for Chandra, he made the fatal mistake of openly announcing his treachery and thus before he could reach Hyderabad, his armies were intercepted by the forces of Warren Hastings that were returning from Masulipatnam. Meanwhile, the Thuggees of Maharashtra began to gradually transformed, shifting from a group of bandits to a proper organized crime group, dealing largely in the sale of opium and other narcotics now. The Thuggees did carry on their ritual sacrifices but they were now restricted to being performed upon criminals and other prisoners instead of the general public, a change that occured due to Haider granting the Thuggee's control over Maharashtra. There were ofcourse a few vigilante Thuggees here and there but most of the Thuggee community (who were financial elites in Maharashtra) chose the easier method of following the system, instead of opposing it and possibly enraging not only the public but the Emperor as well. After all, this was an easy life of luxuries and enjoyment that did not interfere with their religious duties in any way. One wondered, what kind of a lunatic would opt to become a bandit on the run instead? And yet, there were some who did just that. If one had to describe Maharashtra in a few words, the correct term would probably be "mafia state". This general transformation happened simultaneously with the Thuggees dropping that name of theirs altogether due to its negative connotations. Instead, the term Shakta or alternatively Kali Shakta was taken up instead, symbolizing a shift towards the Shaktism sect of mainstream Hinduism. Ofcourse, the drop in the use of Thuggee did not mean total abandonment. The Shaktas, as they were now called, did not plan on simply forgetting their beginnings nor their unique and distinct nature, therefore it was soon decreed that all the Shaktas had to take up the surname Kaliya, opting it over their caste or tribal name whilst the leader(s) of the Shakta's could adopt the title of Thag for themselves. The term Thag now was to serve as a reminder of their origin whilst simultaneously being synonymous with Lord, Boss or Kingpin as a mark of respect. In this way, the incumbent leader of the Shakta community went from being Behram Jamedar to Thag Behram Kaliya.

VIVA BATHORY!!!
 * The Magadh Mahajanpada: The marketed surplus of rice, tea, coffee, tobacco, potatoes and groundnuts increases. Commercialization ensues as Magadhi firms compete for greater profits in agriculture and shipbuilding. Wages of labourers and incomes of farmers increases slowly but steadily. Consumption increases as a result bringing in higher profits for firms and the textile sector. The consumption of tea and coffee increases mainly in Kamroop. The shipbuilding industry receives a major boost. Requirements for boats increased, required for the transport of goods. A new firm set up by an enterprising merchant, starts the production of Merchantmen ships to navigate the Brahmaputra-Ganges system. Another firm in Sittwe starts the production of Trabakuls, importing designs from Britain, to transport goods over the Bay of Bengal. The irrigation projects started in 1788 are completed and bring about a huge increase in agricultural productivity, marketed surplus of various agricultural products skyrockets and more is now available to the export market. The newly opened canal system provides alternative routes for transport of raw materials and goods. The Salween River irrigation project starts, making use of water pumps for efficient irrigation. The demand for water pumps increases, used for irrigation and municipal water supply. To cope with the demand a foundry is set up in Hemgarh for the production of water pumps. A reorganization of the revenue system is done, organizing the nation into districts, each district having a revenue collection officer. With the irrigation projects completed, the Council decides to divert a large amount of resources towards infrastructure (land based) development. The Serai project gains momentum and is planned to be completed in six years time. The Paschimi Marg running from Patliputra to Kannauj starts construction and will be completed in two years time. The Strategic Defensive Area in the Shan states is completed. The Regional Trade Hubs start to expand, deriving the benefits of increased trade.
 * Mehican Empire: Settlers begin to move out of the states of Tejas and Grand California. This is done to gain new lands and new resources which became profitable because of the great amount of forts and palaces that are. These forts and palaces are Build to replace the some of the older buildings that have become obsolete after the independence. New rights are also made into laws about the differences states, territories and setlements and how they are divided and united. New convoys are also sent to the Hawaiians with many more diplomats and army generals and veterans. They ask the Hawaiians if they would like to have a formal ambassador in our nation and if we could have an ambassador in theirs (Hawaiian response). These diplomats bring news to the Hawaiians about the new declared Empire and the old Aztec empire. They also bring Christian ideals to the islands and how the Lord and his religion should be allowed. Guns also begin to be produced more and more in our lands which are bought by the army. These factories are at the moment small but enough to suply most of the infantry. With the cavalry not needing it due to their use of lances and swords. The Emperor also begins the plans to build a new palace in the capital of the nation and the former capital of california due to him coming from the region of the former capital. Export tariffs to British Arcadia are lowered to aid them gain less economic dependency on its motherland. This is also done with Imports to Arcadia wish are lowered to 25% of the British import tax. The export tax becomes becomes 50% of the tax that Britain has on British Arcadia.
 * Hawaiian Diplomacy: We welcome the envoys, and accept the offer to have ambassadors appointed. Although we inform the newcomers that the nation already follows Roman Catholicism.
 * Mehican Diplomacy: Our diplomats inform that we are not pagans but Roman Catholics ourself. With most us even having elective power in the vatican with a cardinal for Rome. Our diplomat also asks if the Hawaiians want to get military and civil without any cost except the recognision of our Empire itself.
 * Salish Nation: Due to increasing Atlzan and Hawaiian influence, as well as a modernization programme brought under the rule of Alexander Suiattle, our nation continues to be thrust into the future. Our army conducts military drills in the Vancouver area, as well as in the Cascade mountains. We also Launch a second voyage to Hawaii, this one carrying a permanent diplomatic representative. Continuing Alexander's policy of exploration, an adventuring company is sent, under the leadership of one Vladimir Suiattle - Alexander's brother - with a mission to survey the lands to the east.
 * Hawaiian Diplomacy: The ambassador from the Salish is welcomed, and in exchange an ambassador is dispatched to the Salish.
 * Free Hungary: We continue our diplomatic and indirect support for Belka. A celebration is held for the new century, and a military parade takes place in the newly transferred capital of Budapest, Bathory attends the military parade as usual and looks overthe parade from a porch in a hotel, saluting the soldiers as they march by. The New Century sees a spark of popularity for Bathory, Ideas begin to sprout up in Hungary, new inventions are made such as the "Finger Violline" (OTL Guatar) and The "Clarinet" made by Hungarian inventors, the Government encourages this and pushes for more productivity to strengthen the economy. Bathory continues to strengthen Belkan-Hungarian ties and sends a diplomat to Belka requesting an economic alliance between the two nations. The education system is Devolped more, Children are now commonly taught to praise their nation, and to respect one another. Bathory introduces a policy called "One Nation, One Identity" which Basically means that all other Types of Hungarians will be treated the same, and other racial groups will be integrated into Hungarian culture and treated like Hungarians and will be Hungarians, Russians and Belkans are allowed to keep their identity and culture though as to keep up good ties with Belka and Russia. Authors are starting to pop up, one of them writes stories for children, his stories sell like a wildfire, parents claim that his stories are good "Bed Time Stories" and that it inspires young children to do good things. Hungary will continue to develop in culture and Ideas for the next decade or so...
 * Jaffarid Sultanate: Neoclassicism becomes a staple of culture, with many drawing inspiration from the Abbasid Caliphate. Literature explodes, with mythical and fictitious novels being created and published by numerous publishing companies, of which had been created following the movement of money into more local, small businesses. Music that had been introduced into Circassia and Ganja from Russia very long ago has finally made its way into Damascus and Arabia itself, beginning another musical revolution, with popular music speaking about the "common man of Arabia", praising Allah, and the lower depths of thought and perception. Sultan Abdul Hamid, after going through many of the old papers of the Rashidun that had been stored within Damascus prior to their collapse, begins making the steps necessary to be able to re-establish relations with the Sultanate of Zayiyr, as well as successor states to the Mali Empire, them being Kaabu, Mane, and the Great Kulo. The diplomats sent carry the word of Islam, as well as the promise of wealth and power upon the returning of positive relations (Mod). General Asim II continues to lead the 200,000+ army that had been sent previously into Egypt a few years prior to siege Damietta. Although no information has been received about whether the siege was successful, many suspect it was. More fortresses are built alongside the Mediterranean and Eastern Rum as a means of stopping any possible invasion from being detrimental to Arabia.
 * Papal States: Pope Henry, on receiving the letter from Archbishop Garrick of Cologne, sends him a reply in which he condemns Bonaparte's violent overthrow of the government of the Rhineland, as well as the government's disregard for the ancient rights of the established rulers. In Rome, the sisters of the Prayerful Congregation of Our Lady of Pituba establish a college, the 'New World College, for seminarians and scholars from Arcadia and Laurentia to study and stay in whilst in Rome. Pope Henry gives his blessing to the new establishment, as well as praising the sisters for their tireless work in the New World. Missions continue, with special focus on the Zulu, Uluru, and New World missions. The military is expanded due to the uncertainty on the continent.
 * Hungarian Priest: In place of a secular delegation or diplomat to request this, I have been sent on the behalf of the Secullar authority of Free Hungary to request you, Pope Henry of God, to accept and recognize the New Bishop of Budapest and the new Constitution in Hungary, the bishop of Budapest is Wilhem Bathory, The Supreme Regent's Brother who has in the past served as a priest (We believe he held the job for 24 years until he was given the title of Bishop), so please your holyness, recognize our selected Bishop of Budapest and allow our Bishop to join the College of Cardinals. Goodbye Your Holyness, may god bless you *He kisses the pope's feet and leaves the Cathidral*
 * Papal Response: Seeing the clear faith of the Hungarians, Pope Henry confirms the appointment of Wilhelm Bathory as Bishop of Budapest, and raises him to the status of Cardinal.


 * Jin dynasty: The sudden death of the Jiaqing Emperor, suspected to be from another royal, triggers political upheaval among the royalty and the imperial court, and brings forth various succession issues. A grandiose funeral is held in Hanseong to mourn his passing. With the Jiaqing Emperor childless, his only child dying during childhood, his death leads to the ascension of his ten-year old nephew Kim Gong, who assumes the regnal name of the Chunzu Emperor. The Qianlong Emperor's second wife, Jeongsun of the Gyeongju Kim clan (distinct from the Hanseong Kim clan; the royal house), becomes the Empress dowager. A corrupt and extravagant leader, authority is mainly exercised by the Queen's twenty-four year-old brother, Prince Kim Salbeol. Kim Salbeol leads substantial military reform, laying a system of voluntary conscription with longer training regimens. However, this is only intended to be used for Korean elite troops, numbering at 50,000 troops at maximum. The bulk of the military (the Green Han Standard Army) still derives from feudal conscription. As the White Lotus Revolt simmers down, the Jinchuan hill peoples are exterminated and expelled from their ancestral homeland, with survivors fleeing north into Turkey or west into Tibet. Similar atrocities occur for the Miao, with Miao settlements burned to the ground and massacred. This triggers a huge Miao migration south, joining preexisting Hmong communities. Members of the White Lotus Movement are persecuted, with their leaders executed for treason. However, isolated pockets of resistance, mainly within fortified settlements and castles remain. General Piteo continues leading the Korean elite army in northwest China, pacifying Hui dissidents.
 * 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.
 * Hawaii: Expansion and colonization continues across the Pacific. Settlements in Mamaopaena (Santa Cruz Islands) expand thanks to an increase in trade with the Tu'i Tonga Empire, Pohnpei, Japan, the Angu-Zia Union, and Uluru. We ask for a formal trade agreement with the Japanese, seeing that they are often one of the most popular destinations on the western edges of our trade routes. The Salish and Mehican ambassadors are welcomed in Honolulu, where embassies are constructed. The king becomes fond of interconnectedness with his neighbors, and asks to formally send ambassadors to the nations of Laurentia as well, including Brésil, Lé Dominioń Inca, and Argenta. A new constitution is written this year in order to reform the government of Hawaii to further mirror European styles of government. Specifically a legislature is created called the House of Nobles, consisting of all Hawaiian nobility and chieftains. The cabinet of the king is also expanded and formalized. Overall, however, absolute power remains in the hand of the king on all matters of legislature. In a similar attempt to westernize and modernize, the king orders the construction of a university in Honolulu. As well as act as a place for higher education of Hawaiians, the king also has a branch of the university dedicate itself to philosophical debates, sharing of knowledge, and intellectual discussions. He invites Hawaii's brightest thinkers, as well as some from Asia, Laurentia, Arcadia, and even Europe in order to immerse Hawaii in the "enlightenment" that swept across Europe a century prior. Expansion of the navy continues as planned, with the nation now operating several European-style brigs in its navy.
 * United Kingdom of Great Britain: It's a new century, the King dies of old age and is replaced by his son James I. 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. Completion of the first cast iron aqueducts, on the English canals. 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. Tea is bought over from China as something to ship on the return journey. The rise of the steam engine powers the coal mines pushing Britain to the lead in production while factories are also powered by them. Henry Maudslay develops the first industrially practical screw-cutting lathe, allowing standardisation of screw thread sizes for the first time, in London. The first design for a cast iron twin leaf swing bridge is produced by Ralph Walker for London Docks. Iron, cotton and other goods are all produced in new mills, factories and smelting plants. England has 7.9 million people and inside of that London has a population of 0.8 million, Wales has 0.7 million, Ireland has 5.5 million people and Scotland 1.5 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. Construction work on star forts continues in India in addition to the training and expansion of company run forces. 30,000 Sepoys are deployed in eastern Dehli while the fortress's continue to be worked on and more Sepoy are trained as soldiers perfecting the company army. The force with Ziyad continues fighting alongside him. The force in Egypt is withdraw due to a multitude of disasters but having learned a little bit. Events are rapidly unfolding in Germany and the British government ignore them fearful of angering the radicals within Britain. The new King in an attempt to calm tensions within Britain supports efforts to rework the boundaries taking into account population growth in cities. Government spending is reduced while the government increases regulation on food prices to keep them low and richer industrialists are taxed more appropriately gambling that struggles in Europe make them likely to maintain business. This allows the government to keep a steady budget.
 * 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 of 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 Iroquois expands 50 px west from Henry's land into OTL West Virginia The Kingdom of Avalon expands 50 px west toward 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 westward in search of water. The three Kingdom's still rely on their militia because of the size of the lands they hold. The economies of the Kingdom rely on a series of different things with Savannah exporting a lot of fruit, sugar and cotton while Iroquois grow tobacco, cotton and large herds while Avalon still does larger amounts of fishing as well as staple crops. The population of Avalon is 0.8 million, Iroquois has 2.1 million and Savannah has 1.9 million.
 * Illinois Dip: We send Green Sparrow to the nearst british fort and tell him to ask the brits to come to Illibuck to talk trade and other things
 * The Kingdom of Masr (Egypt): As the War continues to rage within the Home front.  Queen Fawzia appeals to the Jaffarids, Magrehbis and her Husband Napeolon for aid.  ( MOD ). Muhammed Ali's make a push to re-in force the besieged forces within Alexandria with 25,000 soldiers, hoping to tactically surround the Belkan invaders by pushing them into the center of the City. Meanwhile Local Garriosons, affialted with Muhammed Ali's Army, establish governance cities along the Nile Delta, such as Port Said, Desouk, Tanta and Abusir, to prevent their capture buy opposing enemy forces such as Belka. The newly formed Egyptian Navy establishes a large blockade led by Tusun Ali, Muahmmed Ali's son, blocking enterence into the Nile. The Cabinet of Queen Fawzia hire three assasins to assasiante the Governor of Belka and General Brusinov, with Muhhmaed Ali keeping these as Secondary Goals. A Proclomation directly from the Queen Fawzia declares every single Egyptian, whether Coptic, Jewish, Muslim or other will be rewarded greatly if they join Muhammed Ali's Army, leading to a massive surge in the local Garrisons called "The Commoners Army" ( الجيش المشترك).  Queen Fawzia, under the advise of the majority of her cabinet, calls upon the Sudanese Tribes to unite with Egypt as of there common Arabic and Islamic Culture.  ( MOD ). Poems and Liteature begin to relent on the misery of War, death in the name of Freedom and other more dark topics. Despite this however Cairo, one of the centers and arguably the capital of the Arab World, booms in music, literature, mainly peddled by the Social Elite. The Upper Classes of Cairo themselves slowly begin reformation. The Populations booms to 12.3 million.


 * Egypt OOC: Is Sudan Part of Egypt? If Napoleon and Fawzia had a child would he rule the Rhineland and Egypt?
 * Cannot join as a nation currently in a war. -scraw
 * Swahili: 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. Zakia surrenders after two years of guerrilla warfare. Many veterans (almost 40,000) travel to Egypt and works as mercenaries.
 * 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.
 * New Granada (Gran Colombia): The Dominion of New Granada, after receiving word of the Bread Takeover in Iberia, established the Governing Junta which governed New Granada as an independent nation now ask for the Breads to recognize 's Independence, as they had Dominion Status before. Several rich royalists travel to Australia to attempt to retrieve him from Uluru (Uluru Response). A band of creole warriors on horses known as the Legion of Hell begin terrorizing rural towns in New Granada. The Colony is largely in chaos as Royalists clash with the Junta. Several Creoles also begin rising up against their white oppressors, fearing that the independence the Junta wants would just be an extension of Iberian Colonialism. Several African workers revolt in plantations around the colony. Most soldiers have deserted and the colony is in general chaos.
 * Uluru Dip: **Uluru Dip: We do not recognize this imprisonment in our soverign territory, as it violates the Treaty of Ngarridjeri, and as such the Emperor orders the military to break the arrest of the Iberian monarch and hand him over to the Ganadan royalists.
 * Granada Response: The Iberian Monarch quickly gains support among the nobles in New Granada and the Royalist-Creole Alliance gains control of Panama, Coastal Colombia and Ecuador.
 * Mehican Diplomacy: Our diplomats and Generals offer the Novo Granadians full military and economic aid if they want to. With military aid meaning an army force of 10,000 soldiers and Economic aid meaning cheap recources and materials for building own military equipment. If in return our can get the Panama Isthmus as a lend for 100 years and one that can be extended.
 * New Granada Response: The Legion of Hell and other Creole forces accept the help of the Mehicans, establishing a strong presence in Panama and the Royalists ally with them for the moment.
 * Mehican Diplomacy: We agree to send help the great Granadian cause and we even propose a dual monarch (like OTL PLC) where the granadians can use all recources and weaponry that they need for stability.
 * Tui Tonga Empire: As a new century begins, our nation advances quicker than ever before. Our nation’s flag now is waved across all government centers and is treated extremely patriotically. Marketplaces begin to shift away and be replaced by shopping districts with produce and raw amterials leaving what is left of the market streets and shopping districts becoming more of a common use, retail companies arise quicker with companies for producing cloth for sale and distribution at fancy shops across Viti Levu. With this becoming more of a case, the demand for an established currency grows. This new currency which was already in development since Japanese discovery has begun to be produced in our first of three royal mints, each of which exist in the main territories of the empire but the first completed construction late this year opening up on the island of Tonga in Mua while the last two are constructed in the largest city in the empire and capital, Suva. Valleys become cleared out across the river to be used for agricultural purposes with our first generation of foreign produce being grown. As our ship designer stays in Japan doing research, our ports are upgraded to supply the demand of goods. 100 new Tongan ships are built this year as well. With our new house of elders being used this year, a new idea is brought up to the king to make a house of representatives with 400 seats being opened with a representative from each provincial area in the nation. With this, 50 ships are sent out east to explore and reach many more areas such as OTL Cook Island a bunch of our people (Polynesians) on our journey to reach Mehico where five diplomats landed in Central America to meet and greet representatives of the Aztlan government and leader to discuss diplomatic relations and more (Player Response)but during the journey we were attacked by a Polynesian kingdom when one of our ships were stormed and faced the wrath of arrows which kill three and injure 20. Five of the attackers were held captive. This leads to war breaking out with the empire against a small Kingdom in OTL French Polynesia. Livestock is more commonly introduced and are killed for consumption and reproduction. Horses also make their way over from Japan and begin to be used as well with the help of Japanese horse trainers. Speaking of horse training, helmets are created for our military as well. Guns and a variety of rifles and flintlock weapons begin to be adopted by the Japanese for militaristic use and are being taught to the entire army with about three guns per person. With high influence from the Japanese and us ourselves needing protection, our king meets with Japanese officials to discuss our nation becoming a Japanese Protectorate in order to protect ourselves from other stronger powers and to also push our development. Roads and streets become mostly stone. Clothing is worn by just about everyone. Shoes and sandals become worn by just about everyone. Irrigation for farming spreads rapidly across the nation for maintained fruitful harvests. Eight more universities are opened across the empire. This university system evolves into one university district know as the Royal Tongan Universities. Physicists and Philosophers become more common from these schools for example one of our greatest Tongan physicist, Alzi Kop begins theorizing the use of electricity after learning Japanese and studying Japanese writings from books that had came from Europe. The first drama theatres are built across Suva and Mua for plays hosted by Japanese Directors and Tongan Directors to make a coalition of Tongan dance. One of which are sold out that discuss a love story with a Prince from Tonga and a Japanese women who fall in love but are separated after her return to Japan where they reunite after ten years of being separated. This becomes one of the best reviewed plays. Printing presses become a common use fro book and literature production. An Astrology Institute is opened up by one of our Astrology graduates who is  named Havi Rapu and named the organization the Astrology Club of Tonga. He during his research with several other students in the University of Suva using the telescope discovers a heavenly body and names it Maui after one of the Tongan gods. His work and studies are then published and sent to japan to report the news. A yearly meeting is held in the Houses of Elders.


 * Firstly just so you know the Cook Islands and French Polynesia are owned by Hawaii. Also most of this is way way implausible. You're a tribal nation in the western Pacific with very little technology, and you're sailing to Central America (against the winds/currents), Japan, and all these other places, creating a representative government, creating a "astrology club", adopting guns and horses, and discovering electricity.
 * A lot of the above is true. You are moving way too fast. This is the stuff of decades. Take a strike.
 * I apologise for my mistakes and will try to revise my turn to the best of my ability. The fact about me heading east to Cook Islands and French Polynesia are justifiably becoming interested in it and thinks it should be used (as it should have been around for the last 20 or so years). Adopting Guns and Horses are coming from Japan as well. They are not mastered yet as I did not say they were mastered. Currently they are just there to be there for the time being which would take several years to prefect the usage of horses. My nation is not tribal either, it was an established empire for the last several centuries. It also had a system similiar to that of the Roman Empire and china as well. Also, I was not going against the currents either. My going eastward is theoretically possible as I'd get caught with the Equatorial Current after being taken by the South Pacific Gyre. From there I could simply land in Mehico. From there, I could take the Northern Equatorial Current back to the South Pacific Gyre and I could get back. I've been connected with Japanese technology for a little while now so I'd think I would be able to have the knowledge of this as well. I will begin revisions sometime later today.
 * You are nothing like the Roman Empire or China, believe me I'm the person who brought Tonga into this game. Going to Polynesia/Cook Islands, isn't justified by being interested in them; you don't even know they exist necessarily, and as I said you'd have a hard time getting to them anyway. As for guns and horses maybe it's not impossible for you to get them, but I don't recall the Japanese player saying he gave you any, so it seemed like you just decided you had them now. As I said before you are very tribal. You might want to do some research into your nation, there's a page on Wikipedia. For starters the Tongans were constantly at war with Samoa, and only recently did Samoa actually conquer the Tongans, so you have a fairly unstable nation/occupation going on. You have very primitive technology, just like most tribes in the region. Also you'd definitely be going against the winds and the currents. If you're going to claim to be using those ones then you wouldn't be running into the Cook Islands or French Polynesia anyway. The northern one you referenced doesn't even go anywhere near Tonga, and the southern one runs east of New Zealand. All together though it begs the question of how/why you are trying to contact Mehica when you don't even know they exist. And no where does it say you have Japanese technology, or had it for a long period of time, you've only even been posting for like a few days.

 * Empire of Dravidia (Ziyad): The Siege of Tanjore continued on as the military surrounded the city, cutting off all food and water supplies whilst simultaneously preventing anyone from exiting the city. The Dravidian artillery units were deployed at strategic positions surrounding the city in order to viciously bombard its fortifications without coming under retaliatory fire by the defenders. This standstill and occassional artillery fire would continue for months and months on end before the Dravidians under Ziyad would carry on their assault only to be repulsed, starting the standstill once more. Meanwhile, as this siege went on, Warren Hastings decisively crushed the Jagdalpur forces at the Battle of Suryapet, killing the Raja Chandra Banj Deo and his entirely family whom he had brought along to meet with Emperor Idris. Thus, in just a single battle, one of the greatest dynasties of Jagdalpur met its end. With the battle won, Warren diverted a small force to occupy the city of Jagdalpur and prop up a puppet whilst he personally began marching upon Hyderabad. As news of the battle reached Idris, he became frightened at the prospect of facing the same fate as Chandra and therefore fled the city, murdering all of Ziyad's children before he did so. In this manner, Warren was able to eventually take over Hyderabad bloodlessly just as he had lost it in the first place. As for Idris, he retreated with his supporters to the city of Pune, hoping to secure Marathi aid and left his son, Ilyas Khushal Agran at Gulburga to attract the attention of Warren. The plan was quite simple, Warren would be baited into laying siege to Gulburga, allowing Idris and his new Maratha allies to swarm in from the undefended north. Unfortunately for Idris, this plan was only partially successful. Whilst Warren did fall for the trap and marched his army to Gulburga, the Marathas on the other hand refused to support Idris and imprisoned him instead. Little did Idris know that the ruler of Maharashtra, Mahadaji Shinde had already declared his allegiance to House Agran of Tanjore, having been convinced to do so by the devious Gangadhar Rao. When word of Gangadhar's treachery reached Ziyad, he had Gangadhar replaced with Mahadaji's brother, Prithviraj Shinde as the Grand Vizier. Unfortunately, it was a futile move at dividing the Northern Maratha's who were now strongly behind Shiraz. Within a fortnight of Mahadaji's declaration, he had assembled the Maratha army under the command of Gangadhar Rao who began marching out of Maharashtra, swiftly defeating Warren's subsidiary forces at the Battles of Beed, Latur and Naded before laying siege to Nizamabad. The situation became so dire that Warren had to end his Siege of Gulburga, retreating with his forces back to Hyderabad before he could march upon Nizamabad to lift the siege. Unfortunately for the royalists, if the situation seemed pretty bad already, they had no clue what was coming next. In the South, Sambhaji Rao's grandnephew, Ranoji Rao, a member of the esteemed and influential Tamil-Marathi Rao family and the commander of a force prepared to relieve the Siege of Tanjore took over the city of Madurai instead and declared himself Chhatrapati (equivalent of King or Emperor) Ranoji Rao Maharaj of the Tamilakam Maharajya, a Hindu Rajya of sort that was to constitute of the ancient territories of the Chola, Chera and Pandya Nadus during the age of the Three Crowned Kings. It was essentially a Hindu Tamil break-away state and soon after declaring their independence, Ranoji Rao began marching towards Coimbatore. In an almost synchronized manner, Sambhaji Rao's great grandson (through Ganpati), Sambhaji started a massive uprising in Southern Maharashtra and took power in the city of Satara, proclaiming himself Chhatrapati Sambhaji Rao II and selecting Jagdish Kumar as his Peshwa. This Southern Marathi uprising was different from the Northern one in the sense that the Rao's were fighting for the establishment of a Hindu Maratha Rajya whilst the Shinde fought to place Shiraz Shah on the throne. Due to their similar motives and dynastic ties, Chhatrapati Ranoji and Chhatrapati Sambhaji II agreed to form an alliance against their common enemies. Wasting little time, Sambhaji sent letters to the Maratha Princes, calling upon them to swear allegiance to him. Sambhaji was ofcourse well aware that he had to display a show of strength first and thus, he started off his having his vigilantes and supporters carry out attacks upon the Kali Shakta community, slaughtering hundreds of those residing throughout Maharashtra and forcing thousands to flee to Kalipur. Unfortunately for the Shaktas, they were followed right to their sacred city's doorsteps as the Marathas under Sambhaji laid siege to the city. As Sambhaji had expected, the response to his persecution of the Shaktas was outpouring as hundreds of thousands of people began flocking towards him, personally offering oaths of fealty at Satara. His popularity reached such an extent that the Shinde's of the North found it increasingly difficult to keep their forces loyal as many began defecting towards Sambhaji. Unfortunately, the massacre of the Shaktas wasn't great news for everyone and upon hearing of it, Thag Behram Kaliya had to leave the encampments at Tanjore to aid his community against those that had besieged Kalipur. Ofcourse while Sambhaji was quite popular, it did not mean that everyone welcomed his leadership and this included the Sardar of Kolhapur, Raghoji Bhonsle who had his own aspirations to control Maharashtra, regardless of whether it was within or independent of the Dravidian Empire. The Peshwa, Jagdish Kumar tried to bribe Raghoji at first but when that failed, he resorted to coercion. What that too did not persuade the unwilling vassal, Sambhaji gave up all such attempts and tried to have Raghoji assassinated instead. Unfortunately for Sambhaji, the assassin was caught and when word of Sambhaji's underhanded methods reached the city of Nagpur, its ruler Rambaji Bhonsle declared war upon both Sambhaji and Mahadaji, accusing the latter of secretly supporting the former's attempts at wiping out the Bhonsles. To an outside observer, this declaration of war would seem extremely odd, perhaps even outright confusing. The belief that Mahadaji's supported Sambhaji evidently had no truth to it, it was surely a false allegation, and it came as no surprise that Rambaji was well aware of it all. The allegations were simply excuses by Rambaji to invade Maharashtra, having always wanted to secure the domination of the Bhonsles in that region and now that an opportunity had presented itself, he wasn't going to simply let it go.


 * The Magadh Mahajanpada: The marketed surplus of rice, tea, coffee, tobacco, potatoes and groundnuts increases. Commercialization ensues as Magadhi firms compete for greater profits in agriculture and shipbuilding. Wages of labourers and incomes of farmers increases slowly but steadily. Consumption increases as a result bringing in higher profits for firms and the textile sector. Internal demand for cotton and silk textiles rises. The consumption of tea and coffee increases as it becomes widely available across the nation. Shipyards expand with Hemgarh, Chittagong and Sittwe being the main centres of the Shipbuilding industry with Rangoon and Paradwip also at the forefront. More karkhanas open up in the regional trade hubs for the manufacture of cotton and silk textiles. These karkhanas are owned by master artisans. Lacking good quality steel, the Hemgarh foundry had not been able to keep up with the demand. To cope with the demand, a steel mill is set up in Hemgarh, conveniently located near Hemgarh iron ore deposits with coal being transported from Raniganj by the Damodar River. New employment opportunities are generated in the port cities and the regional trade hubs, people start moving to the cities, selling their lands in the villages. These people are mostly small farmers who have not been able to benefit from increased trade in agricultural products. Municipal Councils are set up by the order of the Council for each of the regional trade hubs and other major cities. Lending houses and small banks come up in the major cities as a banking system starts to develop, led by the National Bank. Vajrayana Buddhism continues to spread in the tribal regions. Vajrayana Buddhist missionaries reach Central India and start preaching Vajrayana Buddhism there. Advaita Vedanta movements spring up in Banten. Coal mining expands to Bokaro and Jharia. Iron Ore mining begins in Jharia. The Council invests a large amount of money in the construction of a Strategic Defensive Area on the border with Thailand. Work on the road network continues. Contracts are awarded to Magadhi firms to clear up forests and settle the virgin land, expanding production of agricultural products. Major land clearance projects are started in Kamroop, Northern Magadh and Central and Northern Burma. Irrigation work on the Salween river was delayed due to lack of pumps. General Dhananjay Rana and his troops continue to fight in the South for Emperor Ziyad.


 * Jin dynasty: The sudden death of the young Chunzu Emperor causes massive political upheaval after the consecutive deaths of three monarchs. Usurping the throne, Empress dowager Kim Jeongsun begins to purge all political dissidents and freezing imperial examination and directly appointing her officials. She brutally represses the Chinese adherents of Catholicism, though is tolerant of the Eastern-rite Church as they incorporate Confucian doctrines and practices. She also encourages the persecution and lynching of the the Hui. With the support of loyalist disenfranchised aristocrats, Prince Kim Salbeol gathers much of the Korean Elite Army and Green Han Standard troops and lead them to an armed revolt based in Manchuria. Utilizing fortifications and artillery, he manages to ward off feudal conscripts sent in by the Empress dowager, many of whom defect en-masse and join his cause. The Prince claims himself to be the legitimate heir to the throne, and assumes the regnal title as the "Kangxi Emperor". The White Lotus Rebellion has been fully pacified, as well as the brief Hui revolt. General Piteo declares his allegiance for the Kangxi Emperor, leading even his former enemies, the Hui, into a long march east to capture settlements lining the Yangtze River basin, therefor depriving the central government of tax revenue from its southern provinces. In midst of this chaos, advanced agricultural and agromanagerial methods are encouraged, and families are encouraged to cease cultivating cash crops and animal husbandry in-order to pool their resources into the cultivation of grain, in order to avoid a famine. In Zaihaibian, settlers fleeing turmoil in the mainland pour in the colony. Due to the demands of a higher population, Nangang and Suolong expand.
 * 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.
 * Papal Diplomacy: The Papal Nuncio to the Jin expresses his utter shock at the new government's brutal repression of the not-insignificant Catholic minority, especially given the history of peaceful co-existence.


 * Free Hungary: Bathory Establishes a Secret Police force, which Listen in on private Military Meetings, they report it to Bathory which causes for a purge in the military, the Judical Branch is Cleansed of the military and Is replaced by Republican Lawyers, Bathory Begins to establish a Political Party to futhure extend his authority over the country, Bathory attempts to crush feudalism and calls for all "Nobles" to Go to a local bank and review with a government official the nobles new Role in society, he hops that the nobles can talk with him to discuss the future of Hungary. Due to pressure from republicans about Having a Monarchist name such as "Regent" Bathory calls for the constitution to call the Bathory's Positioon to be renamed "Prime Minister" and declares himself "Prime Minister Of Hungaria" but still by law represents the Monarchy in exile. Bathory Implaces old time Friends in the Army in the places of the old traterious ones, Bathory Establishes a new party inside government called "The Party of The Republic" and Many Sign up, new government officials replace old ones not coordinating with Bathory, the veterans in the Central Council of Affairs is replaced by more trust worthy ones. Bathory Almost has Complete control over Hungary, now with a Political Party that is still overall controlled by him, The Hungarian Government is more Stable and Centralized.Guns and supplies are Sent over to Belka to aid them in their war. Bathory publicly Condems Napoleon's Recent Revolution in The Rhineland, and announces that his actions won't go unoticed.
 * I don't understand why/how issues of the world's creation would be in any way controversial given it's 1801... ~Cal
 * Illinois Confederation: Three Crows has his first  birthday, he brings new luck since the corn and buckwheat come in  tons, we decide to secretly steal from animals and other food from nearby french lands, they are a family of Welsh Baptists Missionaries to settled near illbuck to spread the gospel, sliver lynx converts along get three crow baptised sliver lynx takes the english name Elijah Morgan but only use that name around whites  we raise 400 more warriors along with expanding 30 px south (Rolla MO).
 * Jaffarid Sultanate: Neoclassicism becomes a staple of culture, with many drawing inspiration from the Abbasid Caliphate. Literature explodes, with mythical and fictitious novels being created and published by numerous publishing companies, of which had been created following the movement of money into more local, small businesses. Music that had been introduced into Circassia and Ganja from Russia very long ago has finally made its way into Damascus and Arabia itself, beginning another musical revolution, with popular music speaking about the "common man of Arabia", praising Allah, and the lower depths of thought and perception. Sultan Abdul Hamid, after going through many of the old papers of the Rashidun that had been stored within Damascus prior to their collapse, begins making the steps necessary to be able to re-establish relations with the Sultanate of Zayiyr, as well as successor states to the Mali Empire, them being Kaabu, Mane, and the Great Kulo. Diplomats are also sent to Ndongo, Zulu, and the one location that Swahili had gone to many years prior (Uluru). The diplomats sent carry the word of Islam, as well as the promise of wealth and power upon the returning of positive relations (Mod). General Asim II continues to lead the 200,000+ army that had been sent previously into Egypt a few years prior to siege Damietta. Although no information has been received about whether the siege was successful, many suspect it was. More fortresses are built alongside the Mediterranean and Eastern Rum as a means of stopping any possible invasion from being detrimental to Arabia. The annexation of the Sublime State of Persia is nearly finished. To properly balance this, a new constitution is drafted, dividing Persia and Arabia themselves into many smaller regions that have small amounts of power within the National Assembly, which in turn is meant to be a successor to the House of Jaffar. Each region will have two representatives that will come to the Official Arabian-Iranian Conference held every 27 Rajab, or the Isra and Mi'raj. The two representatives will be elected within the region, have specific requirements for running for representative as specified in the constitution. They must be 30 years old, having been a natural born citizen of the region of which they want to represent, and must also have been living in the region for a minimum of five years. Although much of the constitution is based off of our enemy Belka, Sultan Abdul Hamid see's the logistical aspect of a republican federation and how it balances power between smaller governments and the national government, as well as it not giving one direct person the entire power. Sultan Abdul Hamid offers the Ecumenical Rashidun Caliphate an enclave in Damascus so that the Caliph can continue his religious ruling in the Middle East while continuing his living in Cairo. A proper meeting is held between the Sultan and Osman Osman. The conference goes through the relations between the Middle East and Anatolia. Because of wanting a more centralized and powerful buffer state than the Sultanate of Rum, Sultan Abdul offers Osman Osman a plan to create a nation that unites Anatolia under one official jurisdiction. The plan would unite Eastern Anatolia, Pontus, the territory ruled by Osman Osman, Armenian Kingdom of Cilicia, Circassia, Ganja, Shirvan, Azerbaijan, Hamid, Beyshehir, and Tekke. Although the civil war continues within Pontus, Sultan Abdul takes steps to ensure this plan could work if needed, beginning the slow movement of troops from Azerbaijan and Ganja, while keeping troops in Shirvan and Circassia to face a possible second invasion from Russia. The nation of Cyprus, which had been somewhat put in the back of Arabia's mind, is offered to join a secret post-war alliance that has been in the works prior to the Russian invasion of Shirvan. The plan, which is only entitled Union for the moment, would lay out an economical, cultural, military, and open border relations between the Arab-Muslim nations that were a part of the Rashidun Caliphate at its height. The Sultan awaits a response (Mod).
 * The Caliph accepts the offer of Damascus. Cyprus accepts. Osman Osman is unsure because he does not want to have ethnic minorities in his nation, only Anatolian Turks.


 * Mehican Empire: The Emperor Declares full support for The Novo Granadian cause. 10,000 soldiers are sent to their nation and the Royal Navy is send to the coast To make sure no Loyalists to Iberia will go back to their lands but instead be punnished by military court. Roads are also constructed in the new lands of California to get better supplies to the central Mehican regions. During it, a miner finds some nice gems which he is unknown to. He asks a local mineralogist "What money can I could get for the stone?" and the Minerologist Carlo Ruz Christiano said "Comrade, you do not know what you have found. This is gold. Where did you find it, my friend?" The local miner just named Pino replies "I found it near the new road constructions, close to a new corn farm". This news of Pino finds is after only five days in local news and after two weeks in state news with goverment officials visiting the men and giving him the "Golden cross of the Pino Order" which is named after his findings which is meant to celebrate people who find riches in the name of Mehico. After the visit of officials the news spread like fire and it got into National new after only 1.5 weeks and it get know even in baricano after six weeks after the news of Pino was originally known in hist village.On Royal decree Officers must punish all pilliging in Novo Granada and they Must never attack a unarmed cityzien but must indeed help him if he is in need of help.Forts are also build and lands are expanded south of the pueblo and in california. With the army encountering many creole and african slaves in Novo Granada they get news of the Proclamation of Emancipation he says" Eu, o imperador Moctezuma Raul Augusthino Diltwa I proclamam a emancipação dos escravos em Nova granada e em todos os estados mehicanos como uma ordem real para assegurar a liberdade e a liberdade de todo homem na Terra.("I, Emperor Moctezuma Raul Augusthino Diltwa I proclaim the  of emancipation for the slaves in New granada and in all Mexican states as a royal order to ensure the freedom and liberty of all man on earth.").With this proclamation its hoped many slaves of nova Granada will chose to fight for "a união de trabalhadores separatistas, camponeses e nobres do governo provisório de Novo Granada"("the union of separatist workers ,peasants and noblemen of the provisional government of Novo Granada.")
 * Illinois Confederation dip: our rider brush fire, has found a Mehican border he rides in and ask for water after drinking it he ask to get a dipolmet to come back to is home to discuss trade and other such things.
 * Mehican Dip:We be willing to discus friendship and trade to the illinios Confederation


 * New Granada: The Mehican Military marches across Panama to meet up with several Creole Rebels. The Army marches into Bogota to attempt to capture it, but fail as the Bread Junta and citizens of the city see them as Invaders attempting to annex New Granada. This results in a protracted siege until Mehican Food Supplies are burnt by bandits from the Legion of Hell. Several Creole Spies operating as Indentured Servants in Bogota kill several members of the Junta and cause the others to flee. The Mehican Forces, tired and hungry, march into the city and restock their supplies. With the dissolution of the Bread Junta, the loyalists become extremely decentralized and are defeated by the rebels, but the fight is far from over. Bandits still roam the land, Afro-Granadians continue to revolt, and the Royalists, under the Iberian Monarch, finally break from the Creoles and establish control over Ecuador. They ask Peru for help repelling Mehican forces (Mod Response).
 * Mehican Diplomacy:Our diplomats ask the anti-royalist forces and leaders if they would if our army prescence would become bigger with to become 25,000 soldiers. We ask in return for this aid that they from a provisional goverment which we call "the union of separatist workers, peasants and noblemen of the provisional goverment of Novo Granada". This would unify all separatists and make descussions for how the State should be and how to deal with people loyal to the Iberian crown.
 * Provisional Republic of New Granada: The Provisional President of the Republic allows the Mehicans to send in as many troops as they want. This causes an uproar among the populace as they fear New Granada will become a puppet or be annexed by Mehica. This causes a large amount of soldiers and supporters of the provisional government to break off and side with the Royalists (the Royalists Support the Former Iberian monarch that was in Australia, not the current one).
 * Mehican Diplomacy:Our Emperor himself comfirms that Novo Granada will be completely independent from Mehico and that this millitary intervension is just to secure the stability in its land and to decreate a goverment for the representation in Novo Granada.He also ensure that pillaging soldiers will be punnished.
 * Tui Tonga Empire: While establishment of Moana continues, the leader of the Moanans is invited to take a seat in the House of Elders. In the meantime, Agricultural production intensifies as Coconuts begin to be harvested and used across the islands. As our ship builder stays in Japan working on designs for future tongan ships, 50 more are built. Land is cleared out for Sugar Cane production for the Japanese and whoever is willing to trade with us. Tobacco is introduced into Moana for growing purposes to be used for medicinal purposes and religious rituals. it will be used for sale and distribution on markets and will be used as an attempt to create economic worth in Moana and put the island’s large size into good use. T his creates hundreds of jobs and begins to slowly yet quickly grow our nation’s wealth. We look eastward to Moana to two distinct islands offshore for new prospects in the future. Revampment of homes continues onward with tiles and bricks being implemented to new homes as a new standard. More roads are created as well to make up pathways for merchants. A merchant named Boku Pahala begins to attempt to sell dried tobacco cigars to Japanese men and visitors who fine these quite enjoyable causing a growth in production of cigars and tobacco. We’d like to finally welcome and embrace Japan with open arms and become a protectorate in order to increase our levels of relation and gain protection  Our river near the capital of Suva expands in size and population with the valleys surrounding the river being used for Sugar Cane Growth after the Japanese officials found out about it and said it was a highly prized plant around the world. Our catholic population continues to stay small but increase after a church was opened on Somoa.


 * Why would you be trying to become a protectorate of another nation, especially one you just met and have brief contact with? 
 * I'd just like to say that What is wrong with inceasing business and increasing the amount of searossing canoes i have. I'd also like to say that it was never brief contact. I don't call several years of contact brief nor several years of technologial development brief either. It is almost as if you are nickpicking at every little thing that you could possibly do? what's next really? It has since all i'm doing is nothing to do with your interest either and im doing it just to gain protection against foriegn invasion and gain better relations with the Japanese. I don't know how many times i have to say that im not that underdeveloped. It is almost if you want it to seem that way when it is not. All I request is when there is actually something wrong then mae it known. Nothing that i've done in the turn was wrong and i made it clear to some other moderators as well and they found this turn ok. I'm trying to have fun in this game and it seems like no one wants that because these last few days have been quite stressful and now i feel like i can't even play anymore due to the slightest wording being taken the wrong way or not being supported at all.
 * Papal States: Pope Henry is privately intensely furious with the stupidity of the Holy Roman Empire delegates. Publically, however, his ire is directed against Napoleon and his lust for conquest. The conquests of the Napoleonic Rhineland are denounced as invalid, and the states of the Empire are exhorted to fight back with all available strength. The Pope also expresses his outrage that Hungary has significantly lessened the role of the Church, although thanks God that it is still allowed to exist freely. Missions continue.
 * Mehican Diplomacy:Our Diplomats in Rome ask for papal support to help abolish slavery in Novo Granada.If this becomes succesfull we will allow all slaves cityzien rights and the right of minor representation in our own nation.


 * Papal Diplomacy: The Pope says that, given the Papacy's constant opposition to slavery in the New World since Pope Adrian VI's 1541 letter Dilexit Deus, the Mehicans have his full support in abolishing slavery.
 * Hungarian Dip. We remind the Pope that not everyone in Hungary is Christian, and that To make it balanced and to prevent revolution, Christianity does not play a role in Hungary, and Other religious groups will feel equal in Hungary, the state will continue support of the Hungarian Catholic Church and fund it as usual, just not be as influenced by it.
 * God reminds Hungary that pretty much everyone in Hungary is Christian. Like, a lot. Bigly.
 * Bathory: Bathory praises back to god thanking him for reminding him and loosens up on secularity.
 * United Kingdom of Great Britain: This conflict in the HRE is like nuts but it's an internal HRE matter currently and no one is asking for help. Some minor grumblings about liberty and such but rather than being confronted they are ignored. Tariffs remain high on imports keeping Arcadia currently as Britain's main trading partner partner. Aware that high tariffs are pushing up grain prices and now that Iroquois has opened itself up tariffs on grain are reduced allowing more competitive pricing. The Tories dislike the policy but the Whigs under the new boundaries push it through. First patent for the Fourdrinier continuous paper machine in England. The first iron (chain) suspension bridge is built by James Finley at Jacob’s Creek in Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania. 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. Completion of the first cast iron aqueducts, on the English canals. 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. Tea is bought over from China as something to ship on the return journey. 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.

 * 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 of 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 Iroquois expands 50 px west from Henry's land into OTL West Virginia The Kingdom of Avalon expands 50 px west toward 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 westward in search of water. The three Kingdom's still rely on their militia because of the size of the lands they hold. The economies of the Kingdom rely on a series of different things with Savannah exporting a lot of fruit, sugar and cotton while Iroquois grow tobacco, cotton and large herds while Avalon still does larger amounts of fishing as well as staple crops. The population of Avalon is 0.8 million, Iroquois has 2.2 million and Savannah has 2.0 million.  Eli Whitney demonstrates before the United States Congress the advantages of the system of interchangeable parts in the manufacture of firearms to the Royal society. Iroquois votes to open trading with other nations fully.
 * Illinois Dip: We send Green Sparrow to the nearst british fort and tell him to ask the brits to come to Illibuck to talk trade and other things
 * Hawaii: Tongan ships attack our possessions and protectorates in Polynesia, and are also spotted near the Cook Islands (as per their turn). As a result we have no choice but to defend against the attack. After which an invasion of Tonga itself is launched in order to pacify this threat and return prosperity to the southern Pacific. While the natives appear to possess some outdated guns and other weapons, the Hawaiian military, which possesses far greater experience and discipline, as well as competance with guns, after decades of training, manages to outnumber and overwhelm them. A blockade is launched using our dozen or so European-style brigs, which also bombard coastal towns in Tonga. The Tongans, with no large ships or cannons to speak of, are unable to counter this. With the blockade in place a more conventional invasion is launched using war canoes launched from the nearby Cook Islands and Santa Cruz Islands to capture the islands. (Note this is backed up by an algorithm.) We make sure not to disrupt any foreign trainers, including the Japanese, and likewise alert the Japanese to this move after the fact. We point out that we have been trading and on friendly terms with Japan for decades, and that this move is only in retaliation for their attack against us, and will not negatively impact them.


 * The move was wrong, i could'nt have done anything there and that turn was scrapped completely and striked. If you'd like to go to war with me, so be it. I'm just saying that basically it was a wrong move that was striked and also i had no awareness over your claims. Hope yo understandand if you go to war, you are the ne provoking me in this case. For some reason the turn was not crossed out but that is besides the point now. Also I have no guns yet if you decide to continue with your war campaign. - Adolf
 * You cannot falsely invent a war unless you acknowledge that your premise is false. 
 * '''I didn't invent the war, he said he attacked those places in his previous turn.
 * I was wrong okay. I'm just requesting forgiveness from any miscommunication. As you could see for my turn this year (which was originally going to replace the messed up one but was too late) showed nothing about war. I never wanted war with you. I just wanted to expand but i was being too fast and foolish and i acknowledge that wrongdoing. I just want for this whole situation to die down and i appreciate you taking it into consideration. - Adolf
 * United Empire of Brésil: This year a new law is signed into place by the Emperor and Grand Deputy Nicollier that places the maintenance and jurisdiction of the roads throughout Brésil into federal hands instead of local municipalities. This also gives the government the right to create tolls on any road. To finance maintenance a few major toll roads are made in between large cities. Certain undisclosed roads are revamped to allow for increased army movements. Another act that is made to increase revenue is small excise taxes on tobacco, whiskey, and rum. Duties are slightly increased on foreign goods to foster local businesses and generate revenue for the Empire. Nicollier orders a census for the population that will take place by the end of this year. With the backing of Nicollier, the Emperor writes a letter to the Iberian government requesting that they surrender the disputed territory west of Brésilian borders, and pay the Brésilian government reparations for the atrocities committed in the Franco-Iberian Wars of 1648, or there will be consequences (mod response).
 * The Iberians laugh at Bresil for bringing up a centuries-old matter and says no. -s
 * Belkan Federation: Seeing the writing on the wall and the inability of the Vozdh to handle the war brings in the thought that this initial venture to egypt was ill advised. General Brusilov is also found extremely sick. This leads to the final call, The Belkan invasion of Egypt will end and the armies will return home. Under this realization the Navy is mobilized in a way unheard of intending to evacuate all the soldiers. Damietta undergoes a massive evacuation and the fortification of all sorts are dismantled. the Evacuation of the remaining 130,000 troops leaves a power vacuum with many highly militant populations that were pro belka left behind to harass and hurt the egyptians . This loss of faith in the government leads to the ousting of the current administration as the Belkans return home empty handed and extremely angry. This leads to some thinking that Belka either go isolationist or truly embrace industrialization on a massive scale.
 * I highly doubt much of anyone in Egypt is pro-Belka.

Bathory Responds to Napoleon's Recent Condeming as "Ironic" and "Null" as He himself came to power via revolution and that he would support any revolution as long as it wasn't against Hungary and it's allies or Accomplices, which the "Napoleonic Wars" as Bathory Refers to the recent revolution majorly Supported by Napoleon as Violating this policy, as Him being King of Egypt and fighting against Belkans was an act of Anti-Belkanism and Was an Act of war against Hungary's Ally, while The Catholic Church Is Displeased with Napoleon's Revolutions and Has Denounced Him several Times. Bathory does seem concerned with the revolutions in Europe and Decides to Hold Hungary With an Iron Grip to Insue not a single revolution or Outcry happens in Bathory's Lifetime, he wants to ensure Hungary's Sta Uluru and prosperity, he Futhure Makes Hungary More Authortarian but still Makes sites the rights of Hungarians are Kept Safe from Government Overulment.

(Scraw's Response). After Napoleon's Denial of the Non-Agression Pact and the buffer state proposal, A Delegation is sent to The Pope Requesting a Defense Pact Between the Papal States to Avoid being conquered by Napoleon Papal Response. Bathory informs the Populance that Hungary could see itself in a War soon, which scares the Populance as they don't want to see Hungary in Another state of stability wich they are taught to Fear, Bathory then in attempts to calm and suth the Populance by stating "We as a People will stand united Against any Foreign invader, no matter if it's the Rhinish to the West, the Russians to the west (though unlikely as we have established good relations with them) or the Evil of the Monarchists, we will Fight to the Very Last man, we will Save Hungary!
