Principia Moderni II (Map Game)

Principia Moderni, or "The Beginning of the Modern" in Late Latin, was a map game beginning in the final days of the Middle Ages in Europe, and the early days of the Ming dynasty in China-- in1420 C. E, a turbulent era; in other words, an era of change; an era in which power is cemented. The first game was perhaps the most successful map game on the wiki in terms of length, finishing without dying, and plausible expansions. However, it did have its problems, and it is now finished. Thus, this second game has been created. Welcome to Principia Moderni II.

Signups
All nations without names by them may be taken by new players immediately. Nations with normal names by them may not be taken by new players as they are already established main player nations, and cannot be played without permission or a revolt. Bolded names are international unions, with member states indented below. Tribal Names are italicized, and areas which are fragmented by being small states are underlined. Nations in civil disarray or collapsing nations have an attached note. If a player's name has a * besides it, it means that nation is a vassal/former colony that a player is controlling but is willing to let someone else play as if asked. Areas which ** are mod-controlled and players must ask permission to play them. Names currently signed up are those nations which have been "called' prior to the game, but are open to change so long as you send Scandinator (talk) a message.

'''The Iberian Peninsula remains at peace with Aragon focusing east, Castille focusing south and Portugal focusing west. Granada is able to convince the Marinids and Zayyanids to support it in spreading Islam north...'''

England is on the run in France  thanks to Joan of Arc and a new French alliance with Burgundy and Scotland.  ''' and now sits in fear as their enemies advance on their last major holding on the continent, Normandy. England is further worried after the successful Welsh revolt and continuous losses against France. The long war has weakened England, with Wales seizing independence and rebellion rising in Ireland. However France has suffered extreme damage and losses in the Hundred Years War, and their king has lost a lot of power with numerous areas having gained autonomy while the largest noble houses are almost independent and vying for the throne.'''

'''The HRE is a vast conglomerate of states. However there is disunity within the empire. Archduke Frederick V of Austria is able to grasp the title of King of the Romans and his coronation as Holy Roman Emperor is planned to happen in Rome in 1453. However the Luxembourgers are using their vassal's (Brandenburg and the Palatinate) votes to become Emperors themselves and Austria must deal with its succession problem first, with the archduchy possibly about to be ripped in half by a civil war akin to what has happened to Bavaria... Meanwhile non-German states within the HRE feel abandoned and slowly drift towards leaving the Empire and a giant Burgundy allied to France is counter to the plans of the HRE...'''

The Ottoman Empire, having conquered most of Anatolia, now turns its attention on the League of Lezhe and Constinantinople, the Sultan thinks that having developed his forces around the city for the last 20 years it should fall soon...

'''The Pope is sick of having to deal with the squabbling dukes that rule parts of the Partimony of St. Peter and decides to unite them within the Papal States... one at a time. But they can't suspect anything until its too late.'''

'''Hungary is bordered by the HRE, Poland and the Ottomans... all three are huge states more powerful than it itself. Venice is bothersome with their seizure of the Hungarian coastline, but Hungary can't retaliate thanks to the Venetian navy. However, the Hungarians might be able to take advantage of the disunity within the HRE and also the Black Sea state of Moldavia. But first they must rebuild your military after their alliance with Serbia was devasted by the Ottomans.'''

'''The Teutonic Knights are disunited, the Prussian and Livonian orders disillusioned with each other, weakening them to a Poland-Lithuania that, though large and powerful, has only a coastline on the Black Sea. With Constantinople on the verge of falling, the Polish-Lithuanians need a Baltic port.'''

'''Denmark has united the Scandinavian nations and conquered several HRE states in the north. But Russia and Germany are powerful areas and still pose a threat, and a land link between Sweden and Finland is needed..'''

'''Novgorod is worried by the growing power of Moscovy who may soon be able to dominate the other lesser Russian states. However, both still are under the heel of the weakening Golden Horde.'''

'''Japanese pirates take a devastating toll on Chinese shipping and thanks to the backward naval theory of the current Chinese Emperor, they can do nothing. However, China is powerful beyond belief on land and thus have two vassals, Dai Viet and Korea. However Dai Viet is gaining strong independence movements helped by their recent destruction of the Champa Kingdom...'''

''' In Manchuria, with vast amounts of Chinese influence, a man rises from his tribe and begins the unification process for a Jurchen nation... '''

The Khmer Empire has fallen, creating a possibility for Thai expansion to start going east instead of north, if they so choose.

'''The Muslim states in India are in chaos after being sacked by the Timurid Empire, with the Delhi Sultanate still being the stronges. However, the Muslims have already devestated much of India, yet Vijaranagar still remains strong enough to resist...'''

'''The Mamluk Sultanate his at its peak, trying to keep their huge empire whole. '''

'''The Aztec have arrived in Central America from somewhere... Powerful warriors, they are hired by Zapotec city states to fight battles and with a decent amount of backstabbing they hold the most powerful position in Central America, envied by all other states. However, Chichen Itza, the most powerful of the Mayan City States, may yet be able to unite their brethren against this foe'''

'''In Africa, Ethiopia is like an island in a stormy sea, the only Christian nation in an Africa dominated by Muslims and native religions. Ethiopia seeks to spread the word of the Lord, by force if necessary.   Far to the south,  the Zulus continue to live as they have for thousands of years, yet the winds of change blow...'''
