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 -- in 1420 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 has 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 an * beside 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.

1660

 * PMII1660.png Mononobe Shogunate builds up the military and continues to expand more into 霊烏路 (Reiuzi) (Kamchatka) by 4950 sq km. Meanwhile, 沖縄國 (Okinawa Kingdom) builds up its military. Also, 幽谷 (Kasodani) expands by 1500 sq km, 東海道 (Tōkaidō) expands by 1500 sq km, 屠自古 (Tojiko) expands by 900 sq km. Taoism in 幽谷 (Kasodani) continues to rise in popularity and more Taoist Temples are built.
 * A peace treaty is signed on Zaragoza. Meanwhile, in the negotiations, it is established that Francesco will keep his throne, as long as he pledges vassalage to the King of Portugal, as Garcia II and Fernando VI want to avoid deposing him and probably face another revolt, as he is, or was popular on his country having not much of other choice. Francesco accepts. Meanwhile, Navarra is also dissociated from Aragon, and given to Garcia II temporarily, to avoid an interregnum. Thus, for a short period of time, Garcia II is also Garcia VII of Navarra. Meanwhile, Alfonso, Prince of Cantabria's marriage is arranged to Ana de Borja, youngest daughter of Francesco, under other terms of the treaty. After the signing of the treaty, Fernando VI and Garcia II start to decide what to do with Navarra.the suggestion of giving it to the closest living relative of Juan II of Navarra is soon dropped, as the closest relative would be Luis VI de Beaumont, the Count of Lerín, who just had his lands in Navarra given back. With Fernando VI not trusting him with ruling Navarra, he is passed up. The suggestion of eleiminating the French from the succession, thus tracing the descent back to Ramiro Sánchez, father of Garcia VI, also fails, due to the sheer difficulty of tracing a descent line over 600 years, what could make the results be extremely unpredictable, like having, for example, the Marchess of La Hinojosa being the closest agnatic relative to Ramiro Sánchez having other suggestions also failed, such as giving the kingdom to a Navarrese noble, and the fact that none of the suggestions would probably solve the problem of the Biscayan land claims controversy. Garcia resorts to suggest giving the kingdom to Fernando, as Garcia also does not want to try to rule both directly at the same time.Fernando VI of Castille then becomes King of Navarra as Fernando I, after Garcia II abdicates and passes the throne to him. Fernando soon recreates the lordships of Álava and Guipúzcoa, those lordships being elevated to counties, and the Count of Oñate, Iñigo III Vélez de Guevara also receiving his Navarrese lands back. Guipúzcoa is given to Vela II Aznar de Iturbide, Lord of Mendavia, and Álava is given to Álvaro de Landa, Lord of Landa Meanwhile, in Castille, proper, Iñigo IV Lasso de La Vega is given the title of Marchess of Argüeso. In León, Luis Mendez de Haro is given the title of Duke of Montoro, and in Portugal, having achieved hegemony of all the Christian Iberian states, Garcia II adds "Emperor of Spain" to his titles.and out of the nobiliary issues, Sofala expands 500 sq km, Santo Amaro expands 500 sq km and Loanda expands 500 sq km, while in Brasil, São Vicente expands 2000 sq km, and in Rio da Prata, Córdoba expands 2200 sq km. Meanwhile, Urraca Garcia de Sousa gives birth to a boy, who is named Garcia, and who dies not long after his birth.
 * The Manchurians expand their Báitǔdì colony by 4000 sq km.
 * Somali Sultanate: Sultan Kareem Dalmar turns 35, and has a son named named Amiir Dalmar. Meanwhile, a Somali noble known as Axmed Gullet begins his rise to power. The Somali Sultanate continues to expand 10,000 km northeast to the coast and trade with near by countries. After ten years of expanding Somali trade and land, Sultan Kareem Dalmar is known as, "The Expansionist"
 * Cyprus continues to expand its army and navy. Nea Lefkosia expands by 900 sq km, Nea Larnaka expands for 900 sq km, Nea Lemesos expands for 800 sq km and Nea Pafos expands by 700 sq km.
 * Scandinavia expands its military and economy. Nya Danmark expands 500 sq km onto Cape Breton and the river's mouth and Eriksmark expands 3000 sq km along the bay in both directions. Ny Norg Stad continues its busy port duties and its naval base in the harbor is expanded. Scandinavian immigrants flock to New Georgia after the incentive program offered by the Kejszar. Nya Milan (renamed Öst Pekar) expands 1100 sq km around the cape. The Nye Norgen governor continues his diplomacy. Bengal continues to exert its influence on the Lankan kingdoms, with them believing that the Sultan of Bengal is still in power. By year's end they decide to join Bengal under a single Lankan king. The Viceroy of Nya Skandinavia continues his sponsoring of the mix breed Aymara chief, who defeats a western chief this year and consolidates his holdings in the northeast. The Kejszar is glad that the Aragonese affair is over. Since it is now his domain, he orders the construction of several Scandinavian naval bases in the Baleares. The Irish kingdoms have accepted last year's offer of joining NETA. The Kejszar personally invites the other Baltic kingdoms to join the organization.
 * Hey man, Ceylon or Lankan is under Netherlands influence for several years, even before Bengal starts there...
 * And there's also the fact that the island can't be united in any other way that isn't conquest. A diplomatic union there would be very difficult, if not nearly impossible to maintain without ethnic-religious tensions. (ex: Tamil Tigers in OTL)
 * France - Burgundy: The military is built up, and the navy expands widely and the Colonies expand. Nouvelle Bourgogne and Brasilea expand 750 sq km and Guiane expands 500 sq km, the King Frederic begins growing its power within France without challenging the Constitutional Monarchy, the Education system grows and the religious freedom law begins to be enacted in France. It ask for an alliance with Normandy and the Duchess of Guiane marries a Duke of France called Louis of Poitier. They marry in the city of Nouveau Arles in Guiane founded a few years ago. Also, I will add my colonial expansion of the last few years.
 * Ethiopia expands its vassal of Maynila by 1000 km, and expands the imperial economy and military. Ethiopia also invades Yemen, with evidenced discovered that the ancient kingdom of Aksum once held lands there, stirring Ethiopian desires to reconquer that land. With Ethiopian influence increasing in Aceh, the Ethiopian throne decides to offer the sultan the chance to join Ethiopia peacefully and reap the benefits of being a part of a powerful colonial empire.
 * Options_for_ethiopia_(PMII).png don't share a land border with Kitara. This is against the rules.
 * Then can I switch my attack to another nation? I don't want to waste my algorithm. ~Viva
 * These ones.
 * UMSHM: More work is done on the Kassel-Dresden highway.
 * Primatial City of Magdeburg: Another small mission is established on the Western coast of Australis.
 * China declares war on and invades Tibet. The massive military pours into the nation, sacking military forts. While the mountains slow the Chinese advance by a bit, the highly trained and advanced Chinese military makes it farther into the nation than most other nations would. The lack of roads, while also an impediment, serve to benefit neither side of the war.
 * The Orissans offer their full military aid in the war if we can discuss a few lands which we would like to come under our juristication.
 * A third child is born to the Raja and Rani, and it seems as if the Raja wants to ensure the survival of his line. It is another daughter. The Raja is no less happier, however, and is overjoyed for his new child. Merchants keep getting slightly more successful with every transaction. More children attend schools and more children become indoctrinated in Orissa's teachings. Many head away from all the chaos of the war and Naya Mataram grows 1000 km onto the island the colony was established on. Cebu sees more Vedics in its country, and helps bolsert its faith of Hinduism on the island. Many temples are built, and many brahmins go on to build ashrams (missionary schools) in the country, helping poor children get an education on language and religion. These ashrams are run by many Pandits, many of whom are from Cebu itself, and ensure that the regional language is still taught to the poor children. More schools are built in Orissa itself, with the schools now beginning to offer optional languages like Cebunese (yeah, that's my name for the regional language of Cebu). The schools have helped create a generation who are more "Orissan" than anything. The SOC continues to gain money, with Venetian ports becoming huge markets for Orissan products. The hub cities grow even more this year. Industry sees growth as some small factories are made in the colony, too. The Navy sees its new class of ships being constructed and delivered to it on time, and help to keep order in its waters. The NOC sees more profits after the Netherlands accepted its deals. Delhi counterattacks in a splendid manner, and forces Coalition troops back. Yet the Raja is not one to give up, and launches another offensive. They manage to keep hold of a quarter of the rump Delhi, and declare a ceasefire for now - bringing the war to an end. The army is given resting time, yet troop concentrations remain high on the border with Delhi. Oudh continues to see mass conversions and the suppression of Muslims and many forced conversions into Hinduism and sends aid to the coalition. Bihar continues to try to undermine Buddhist teachings, although much more subtly, by preaching to the Gurkahs. Carnatic comes under vassalage from Orissa, with the country's economy being completely reliant on Orissan trading. Roads are built in the country and their army is financed. The Raja is also very interested in the Chinese-Tibetan war, and is looking to reclaim traditional Indian lands from the nation.
 * Mataram uses its diplomatic freedom to great effect and begins to vassalise Negaha Daha. It also begins to open up talks with Sumedang about letting the country enter into a diplomatic union with a growing power (in its own right) in the area. Some progress is made but it looks like it might take years for it be convinced to join. More spices are grown in its territories, with many farmers moving to Sundabang where there are less people to try to set up new lives. Huge migration between its territories continues. Vedic Hinduism conversion also takes place. The military also grows, yet it does not declare war as they are planning for another campaign.
 * The_Arabian_Federation,_1660.png Arabian Federation builds up its infrastructure after seeing three new Sheikdoms joined the federation in the last couple of years. The infrastructure is also improved as the other states integrate following the recent spate of dynastic unions, invasions and annexations.
 * Kingdom of the Netherlands: John Wittlems, the Great Stadtholder, continues to improve the military, focusing on the navy. New Zeeland (Puerto Rico) expand their possessions to OTL Bahamas. Argentium colony expands 2000 km north. Chiloe colony expand the north coast 1500 km. Vasalization of Munster and Liege continue. The VOC occupy Andaman Islands is kingdoms name; Acech is convinced to not accept the Ethiopian proposal and becomes a Netherlands protectorate (puppet); Ceylon is close to be part of the kingdom, too. Trading posts in Kongo become bigger and the local goverment falls under Netherlands influence.
 * Keep my warning about Ceylon in mind, and ah, you can't expand both of your colonies by 2000 sq km each. The 2000 is to be divided by both, aside from the fact that less than a five year old colony can only have 200 sq km of expansion, and three, you can't expand into stable nations with no war. To get Bahamas you'll have to go to war to get it.
 * Ukraine Kingdom: The Ukraine builds up its military. A new King takes power after the late monarch dies of pnemonia, and he is King Bodhan. Training of a new army branch called the Home Guard begins.
 * Bavaria continues to modernise infrastructure and legal systems. Bavaria begins plans to move assets into recently conquered Slovakia.
 * Hungary: Emperor László VII comands the army for the defense. All men are fighting to protect their land. The whole kingdom is united for the defense. Fleet comanded by Grand Admiral Zsak Mikal keeps controlling all ther Black Sea. Hungarian colony of Ubanga expands 200 km north.
 * Duchy of Wallachia: All army is fighting in Hungary.
 * In Germany, the colonies expand as usual, as well as the military and economy. Assimilation begins in conquered Prussian territory.
 * Luxembourg expands its military.

1661
''' Persia, after defeating Armenia, deposes the former Armenian king, and places another Armenian noble in his place, as a Persian vassal. '''

''' The Kingdom of Yugoslavia regroups at the new capital of Skoplje. King Nikola I dies and is replaced by his son Nikola II, who sends a message to Venice relinquishing any claim to the territories controlled by Venice. Nikola II orders the construction of new schools to educate the population. In light of the conflict between Bosnians and Serbs in the Yugoslavian army, the new schools are ordered to emphasize Yugoslavian national identity over racial identity. For now they only let in the ruling elite, but Nikola II has big dreams for Yugoslavia. '''


 * The Mononobe Shogunate builds up the military and continues to expand more into 霊烏路 (Reiuzi) (Kamchatka) by 4950 sq km. Meanwhile, 沖縄國 (Okinawa Kingdom) builds up its military. Also, 幽谷 (Kasodani) expands by 1500 sq km, 東海道 (Tōkaidō) expands by 1500 sq km, 屠自古 (Tojiko) expands by 900 sq km. Taoism in 幽谷 (Kasodani) continues to rise in popularity and more Taoist Temples are built.
 * Portugal, León, Castille, Aragon and Navarra prepare their militaries, with Aragon emphasizing the navy. Meanwhile, in Portugal, Urraca Garcia de Sousa gives birth to a boy, who is named Garcia. Unlike his homonymous of 1660, he survives the year. Meanwhile, the King Garcia II creates the House of the Infantado, which comprises a non-hereditary lordship to be given to the second son of the Portuguese monarch. Thus, the first Lord of the Infantado is Nuno, second son of Garcia II. Meanwhile, Santo Amaro expands 500 sq km. Meanwhile, is reported in Lara the presence of a Georgian community, apparently made out of exiles from what used to be New Georgia. Loanda expands 500 sq km, and Índia expands 500 sq km on the little space available after the appearance of the Gujarat successor states. In Brasil, Pernambuco and Paraíba expand, with both, expansion totalizing 1800 sq km if summed, and in Rio da Prata, Uruguai expands 500 sq km, and Santa Maria expands 1900 sq km.
 * Cyprus continues to expand its army and navy. Cypriot colonies expand worldwide. Cyprus expands Nea Lefkosia by 900 sq km, Nea Larnaka by 900 sq km, Nea Lemesos by 800 sq km and Nea Pafos by 700 sq km.
 * Crete also expands its army and navy.
 * The Manchurians expand their Báitǔdì colony by 4000 sq km
 * York; King Ron allies with his father-in-law Chieftain Bob of Wales to put him in power. He sends Bob one- third of his military force to do this.
 * Ethiopia expands its military and economy. The vassal of Maynila is expanded by 10,000 km, and the vassal of Adal also expanded by 10,000 km. The campaigns in Yemen proceed as expected, with few losses and much land and wealth gained from the conquests. The colony of Wärqama is expanded by 400 km, and the colony of Yäwah Wäjäb is expanded by 600 km.
 * Scandinavia expands its military and economy. Nya Danmark expands 500 sq km onto Cape Breton and the river's mouth and Eriksmark expands 3000 sq km along the bay in both directions. Ny Norg Stad continues its busy port duties and its naval base in the harbor is expanded. Scandinavian immigrants flock to New Georgia after the incentive program offered by the Kejszar. Nya Milan (renamed Öst Pekar) expands 1100 sq km around the cape. The Nye Norgen governor continues his diplomacy. The Sultan of Bengal begins a plan for his preferred Lankan kingdom to consolidate the puppeted island under a single kingdom. This will be difficult, given that his other Lankan subjects are under different governments. The viceroy-sponsored Aymara chief invades the eastern chieftain's territory and makes headway into the region. In Nya Skandinavia, the puppet Incan ruler dies with no heir. The viceroy decides that, after 70 years, the perishing and Swedish-influenced empire be annexed into the colony. Naval bases on the Baleares are constructed and ready. In Suecia Aragones, the port begins to thrive again as increased Mediterranean shipping revives it after decades of decline. The Kejszar prepares for an invasion of the Khmer Empire in order to consolidate the nation's position in Southeast Asia.
 * The Saami expand into the Saami Peninsula (OTL Kola Peninsula) and begin to incorporate the East Saami into their society.
 * France: The kingdom builds its military and navy. The growing of the school system reaches 20% after years of implementation widely in France, and Burgundian becomes the main language of eastern France though d'oil languages continue dominating. Colonies expand and forces grow, Aquitaine is offered protection if they agree to returning to France or becoming Vassals under protection of France in case of an expansionist Occitania.
 * Also Principia Moderni II 1540 to 1569 (Map Game) 
 * I don't think they need to worry about an expansionist Toulouse, given they are allied with them.
 * "Genoa: Our three colonies (Africa, East Cuba, East Hispaniola) are offered to Burgundy for money and weapons. The navy is improved.
 * Burgundy: We accept your outstanding offer and we will pay the needed to gain this colonies.
 * I want my east Cuba, Africa and east Hispaniola back, please. Sine dei gloriem (talk) 02:30, April 4, 2013 (UTC)
 * After 100 years of ignoring them you suddenly decide you want them? They have all collapsed and disappeared by now.
 * Nope, I didn't ignore them. I was forced to when the Dutch got independent and according to AP I had no outlet to the sea. Then, after Luxemburg took mine, but I didn't ignore them. You ignored me counting them as part of me. I even corrected several maps to add their expansion.
 * Also, I gave greater priority to Neu Antwerp and Brasilea at the time, and I wasn't sure which colony was from the Dutch so...
 * ​Venice offers Nikola II the option to unite the Slavic races if he agrees to become a vassal of Venice. In return, Yugoslavia will span from Croatia to Macedonia with a coastline at Montenegro (basically OTL Yugoslavia). Yugoslavia will also receive a navy starter pack and also Venetian technology. Venice also expands Nuovo Treviso and Nuovo Brescia by 2100 sq km each. Malacca and Nya Gyptios expand by 5000 sq km each.
 * Somali Sultanate: Coastal expansion (10,000 km Northeast) and trading with nearby nations continues.
 * Reiches Großraum Bayern: The Germanic League charter is being drafted. Only Germanic nations may enter into the compact (Bavaria, Saxony, Germany and Scandinavia). Legal stuff happens.

 * Russia expands its military and economy. Novorissiya expands 4000 sq km. Expansion into Siberia continues in order to reach the Pacific by next century.
 * Minsk expands its economy.
 * Chinese troops, already occupying much of Tibet, march into the capital. The leader of Tibet is captured and, after months of Tibetan rescue attempts, the Tibetan leader surrenders. In October, he issues a decree to the army to stand down (with China's permission). The Treaty of Beijing is signed. Tibet becomes a Chinese protectorate. There is much rejoicing.
 * Ukraine Kingdom: The King issues a new law stripping non-ethnic Ukrainians of citizenship, and this brings an outcry from a large minority of the population. Some begin even rising up in arms, starting what is known as the Ethnic Revolutionary War. Ukrainian forces immediately begin battling the rebels back, forcing them to the southward into the Crimea and surrounding areas and other areas near Poland. The King states he can handle it on his own, but secretly asks Venice, Rome and the Russian nations for help, stating those nations' peoples will be allowed to retain their citizenship. Military is built up.
 * The Arabian Federation builds up its economy as the new regions are economically developed and integrated. The Sultan also expresses concern at Yemen being invaded and he fears the creation of a dangerous warzone so close to his borders. The Yemeni Sheikdoms of the south also see this as an opportunity to expand their own states at the expense of the crumbling Yemeni nation.
 * The Nasrid Sultanate sends an expedition to OTL Venezuela to found a colony there. Sultan Khalid decides to build more schools everywhere - mostly in Granada, but hoping to make some in Morocco, eventually. Cruzism continues to spread after the death of their founder. He is the first martyr of the religion, and many of his closest followers and supporters see him in their dreams and sometimes when they are alone. They take this as a divine sign and continue to spread the religion. Sultan Khalid hears of the religion spreading, but tries to take a more tolerant approach. New Tunis expands by 2000 sq km. New Tunis expand by 1000 sq km.
 * A fourth child is born to the Raja and Rani, yet this time the Rani tragically dies in childbirth.

The hub cities grow even more this year. Industry sees growth as some small factories are made in the colony, too. The Navy sees its new class of ships being constructed and delivered to it on time, and help to keep order in its waters. The NOC sees more profits after trading in Europe. A time of uneasy peace spreads across the front as due to the Raja's grief, the war is not pressed on with. Oudh continues to see mass conversions and the suppression of Muslims and many forced conversions into Hinduism and sends aid to the coalition. Bihar continues to try to undermine Buddhist teachings, although much more subtly by preaching to the Gurkahs. A slightly enlarge Kashmir is received from Tibet as the Orissans assisted the Chinese in crushing the nation. Orissa has always had a negative outlook on the nation since it began vassalising traditional Indian lands. Kashmir is made into a vassal, which will soon be added onto Bihar as soon as the rest of Delhi is captured.
 * Mataram has almost vassalised Negaha Daha. It continues talks with Sumedang about letting the country enter into a diplomatic union with a growing power (in its own right) in the area. More progress is made. More spices are grown in its territories, with many farmers moving to Sundabang where there are less people - to try to set up new lives.

 * Why do you never put the last "o" on the name? I don't think "Fransesc" is a real name.
 * Never mind.
 * I'm talking about Catalan names right here (Francesco -Italian/Francisco - Portugeuse, Leonese, Castillian/Francesc - Catalan). That's the same reason why in my Aragonese posts, Juan becoms Joan, Guillermo becomes Guillèn, and Luis becomes Lluìs.

Trading posts in Kongo become bigger and the local government is under the Netherlands influence.
 * Aceh is already Ethiopian. Doing this would lead to war. Same with Lanka - it's Scandinavian.
 * ​Acech is Ethiopian? In one turn? Really?
 * Ceylon is entirely Bengali/Scandinavian, you do not control any part of it.
 * ​Where is it written? In what year exactly did you start to vassalise Ceylon? Because I did since I started to play.
 * Aceh is not Ethiopian, just saying. Bengal has been exercising control over Lanka since before you began playing. So stop.
 * I'm just asking for the year... and also, you are ignoring Collie's post about Ceylon...
 * Yet he would still have more influence than you.
 * The Manchurians expand their Báitǔdì colony by 4000 sq km

 * Persian Shah Suleiman I dies from old age. His eldest son, Ashraf, is crowned Shah of Persia. He intends to continue the great relationship his father had with the Kingdom of Rome and Levantine Kingdom. His first act is to establish the Universtiy of New Persepolis. It is located in the Capital City of New Persepolis, and is divided into two faculties - the Campus of Sciences, and the Campus of Arts. The Campus of Sciences is divided into the Schools of Animal Studies, Mathematics, Botany, Chemistry, and Astronomy. The Campus of Arts is divided into the Schools of History, the Classics, Painting, and Sculpture and Mosaics. Then, Ashraf grows the military, making up for lost soldiers in the recent Armenian campaign. The nation appears to be looking to annex Baghdad.
 * Persian Diplomacy: The Shah requests defensive pacts with the Kingdom of Rome and the Levantine Kingdom.
 * The Persian capital is New Persepolis, which is the ancient city rebuilt as a symbol of Persian strength.
 * Normandy: William V turns 46. The military is built up, and the economy improves greatly with the addition of Brittany into the realm. More Welsh immigrants pour in.

Nya Milan (renamed Öst Pekar) expands 1100 sq km around the cape. The Nye Norgen governor continues his diplomacy. This will be difficult, given that his other Lankan subjects are under different governments. The viceroy-sponsored Aymara chief invades the eastern chieftain's territory and makes headway into the region. As of last year, the Bengali Colonial Fleet Division of the Royal Navy assembled on the coast and ready for this year's invasion of the Khmer Empire. The Khmers are invaded in the summer.

 * Russia expands its military and economy.  Novorissiya expands 4000 sq km.  Expansion into Siberia continues in order to reach the Pacific by next century. Russia and her vassals aid their Scandinavian allies with some supplies (Lx specified that this could happen).  Change of plans, Ukraine went all crazy, and I miraculously found internets and found out...great excuse for war...Still, if I do not post tomorrow by midnight, AP can post for me continuing war. THe Russian Tsar, infuriated by the Ukrainian King's actions, and the gall he has to ask him to fight against his own people, siezes the oportunity to declare war on the Ukrainian rebel-state (please don't be angry at me, I was planning this for a while), made easy for Russia's official policy of non-recognition of all East-Slavic post-federation states. The Russian armies surge into the nation of Ukraine, and quickly besiege their capital of Kiev, relatively close to the borders. What will happen next, is difficult to decide.-Lx (leave me a message) 03:52, April 5, 2013 (UTC)

 * France: The colonies expand. Nouvelle Burgundy expands by 750 sq km as well as Brazil and Guiane expand by 500 sq km military is built up. Navy is expanded.
 * Venice signs the historic deal with Yugoslavia with Croatia and most of Bosnia going to Yugoslavia. The two monarchs finalize borders and Nikola asks for aid in expansion northwards and westwards into Romania, Wallachia and Bulgaria. Venice also asks to purchase the rest of OTL Slovenia from Austria to  connect with the captured Hungarian territory. Malacca and Nya Gpytios expand by 5000 sq km. Nuovo Brescia and Nuovo Treviso expand by 2100 sq km each.
 * So Hungary is out of the game in one turn?
 * Venice, you are now much bigger then Hungary and control Yugoslavia, too. Don't attack me. I am no threat to you or Bavaria.
 * Bihar_now_(PMII).png Raja steadies himself and gets back into matters of national importance. A budding merchantile class finally blossoms as the population of merchants reaches 20% of the whole population of Orissa. More children attend schools and more children become indoctrinated in Orissa's teachings. Cebunese is learnt in large numbers. However, the Raja wants his nation to have an international outlook, and Ethiopian is offered as another optional language, along with German. Naya Mataram grows 1000 km onto the island the colony was established on. Cebu sees more Vedics in its country, and helps bolster its faith of Hinduism on the island. Many temples are built, and many brahmins go on to build ashrams (missionary schools) in the country, helping poor children get an education in language and religion. The SOC continues to gain money, with Venetian ports becoming huge markets for Orissan products. The hub cities grow even more this year. Industry sees growth as some small factories are made in the colony, too. The Navy sees its new class of ships being constructed and delivered to it on time, and help to keep order in its waters. The NOC sees more profits after trading in Europe. Delhi is invaded for one last time to finish it off. By the end of the year, the nation falls, and the people of Bihar and Orissa rejoice. The Raja personally visits his newly conquered territory. Oudh continues to see mass conversions and the suppression of Muslims and many forced conversions into Hinduism and sends aid to the coalition. Bihar continues to try to undermine Buddhist teachings, although much more subtly by preaching to the Gurkahs. Troops from Kashmir continue to assist the Chinese in fighting off the Tibetians. The Raja begins to make plans for a memorial for his dead wife (I just captured Delhi, its the 17th century. Smart ones will see where this is going)...
 * Umm ... Mysore already owns that state you just took over, it's just not on the map yet.  JSYK.
 * That state is too big for Mysore to even vassalise. Look it up in the rules, there is nothing you can do about it (as in changing the rules).
 * Wrong again. It's not bigger than half of Mysore.
 * Mysore is 2,392 pixels large, Carnatic is 1,639 pixels - more than half. It is not allowed.
 * Mataram's_gain_(PMII).pngam vassalises Negaha Daha. It continues talks with Sumedang about letting the country enter into a diplomatic union with a growing power (in its own right) in the area. More progress is made. More spices are grown in its territories, with many farmers moving to Sundabang where there are less people - to try to set up new lives.

Its armies roll into the country from two fronts, hoping to take it out before it can mount any serious resistance.
 * Ethiopia expands its military and economy, and continues to expand the road networks in the rural regions of the empire. The vassal of Adal is expanded by 10,000 km south into the Ogaden, and the vassal of Maynila expanded by 10,000 km; 3,000 km to the north and 7,000 km to the south.

1663
''' The Yugoslavs, with their new Venetian allies, begin the construction of a new capital in a protected area. The new capital, which is to be named Nikolagrad after the beloved Nikola I, is to be built in the heart of the Duchy of Bosnia to use the nation's territory as a shield. It is founded by combining several war-torn villages at the site, including one named "Tornik". NOTE: This is the TTL equivalent of Sarajevo.'''

''' Sumedang refuses to be subjugated by Mataram. '''

'''OK, I negotiate with a kingdom to enter a diplomatic union with me, it's not allowed. When a power like Scandinavia does things like invade the Khmer Empire or do stuff with the Incas, no one says anything? The Khmer are one of the fiercest warrior nations on the planet at this time. And Scandinavia will just take them over?'''

'''This is in response to you consuming too many nations in a relatively small period of time. Besides no nation wants to just bow down and swear allegiance to another whenever they are offered the chance.'''

'''ONE nation conquered. ONE nation vassalised.'''

'''I swear the only argument for these events is "derp India wasn't powerful OTL so it shouldn't be powerful in TTL". You let Scandinavia expand like crazy and punish Orissa for every little thing. '''

Have to agree with him a bit on this one.

''' Punjab and the remaining Indian kingdoms form a defensive pact aimed at Orissan aggression and heavily build up their militaries (+16 for military in the next 15 years). '''

''' The xenophobic Ukrainian King is deposed, and the new King ceases the persecution of non-Ukrainian minorities. The new King Vladmir I moves the capital to the strategic seaport of Sevastopol, which had been the capital of the Crimean Sultanate under an Islamisized name. The new Ukrainian government signs a peace treaty with Russia, officially allowing the Russians to annex the northern quarter of Ukraine. '''
 * The Mononobe Shogunate builds up the military and continues to expand more into 霊烏路 (Reiuzi) (Kamchatka) by 4950 sq km. Meanwhile, 沖縄國 (Okinawa Kingdom) builds up its military. Also, 幽谷 (Kasodani) expands by 1500 sq km, 東海道 (Tōkaidō) expands by 1500 sq km, 屠自古 (Tojiko) expands by 900 sq km. Taoism in 幽谷 (Kasodani) continues to rise in popularity and more Taoist Temples are built.
 * Portugal, Aragón, León, Navarra and Castille's economies improve. Meanwhile in Portugal, Urraca Garcia de Sousa gives birth to a girl, who is named Teresa. Meanwhile in León, Juan de Lara, grandson of Alfonso XIII, and son of Alfonso, Count of Gijón, marries Isabel de Luna, widow of Juan de Lara, Prince of Asturias, since his father, on attempting to arrange a marriage for him, tried to strengthen ties with the Duke of Trujillo's family.

 * The Manchurians expand their Báitǔdì colony by 4000 sq km.
 * Somali Sultanate: Coastal Expansion (10,000 km northeast) and trading with nearby countries continue.
 * The German Empire ends the succession crisis as the son of the dead Kaiser reveals himself to be alive. He takes back all of the Empire in his hands. Meanwhile, he orders the constructions of special monuments in Neu Berlin. The military and colonies expand (at normal rate for le colonies). Mysore now continues to pressure Travancore, secretly killing off top government officials of the nation (Travancore). Also, Mysore has annexed the state right next to it and forced the one south of it into tributarization. Travancore is all that's left.
 * No resurrecting dead leaders. I want to nip this in the bud before we have a repeat of the sh*t that that one guy did in India during the last game.
 * My bad. I thought you wrote "the dead Kaiser reveals himself to be alive".
 * The "state right next to you" is an Orissan vassal. The other one would probably be a Mysorian vassal as it is smaller than Mysore itself. 
 * Wrong. I did it before Orrissa. Look back in the 1650s.
 * The Nasrid Sultanate develops the economy and military. The Sultan, trying to promote religious tolerance, appoints Catholic and Cruzist officials in his court. Cruzism is much like OTL Protestantism except that it rejects the First Council of Nicaea. New Tunis expands by 2000 sq km. New Murrakus expands by 1000 sq km. New Ishbiliyya expands by 200 sq km.
 * The colony of Āphrikā Jamīna expands by 1000 km and Gāmbhīrya ōpha ā'īla expands onto a nearby island (OTL Madagascar) by 500 km. Bundela is merged with Rajputana proper. The military goes through a modernization process.
 * Scandinavia expands its military and economy. Nya Danmark expands 500 sq km onto Cape Breton and the river's mouth and Eriksmark expands 3000 sq km along the bay in both directions. Ny Norg Stad continues its busy port duties and its naval base in the harbor is expanded. Nya Milan (renamed Öst Pekar) expands 1100 sq km around the cape. The Nye Norgen governor continues his diplomacy. The viceroy-sponsored Aymara chief consolidates the east and moves his campaign south with strong support from the Viceregal Crown in Nyborgia. The RSN Bengali Fleet blockades mainland Khmer and troops are landed in Ligore and Pattani, occupying a portion of southern Khmer. They await orders to commence a long drive north towards Ayuttahya and Oudong.
 * The Saami expand into the Saami Peninsula (OTL Kola Peninsula) and continue to incorporate the East Saami into their society.
 * Ethiopia expands the vassal of Adal 10,000 km into the southeast, and the vassal of Maynila 10,000 km to the north. The colony of Wärqama is expanded by 500 km, and the colony of Yäwah Wäjäb by 500 km along the coastline. The military and economy are expanded, and the development of the imperial capital to include recently developed technologies underway. The scientists of Ethiopia are sent to Orissa to continue their joint research projects. Ethiopia begins to extend its influence into Aceh, with powerful Ethiopian traders taking over vital sectors of the Acehese economy, and implanting themselves into the social fabric of Acehese society.
 * The Persian Shah, Arsuf, is considered an adequate leader by most Persians by the end of his first year in power. He is universally approved, but still not as popular as his father. While he considers building a new Royal Road, in an attempt to mimic himself as a great Persian king of old, he also expands the military, by large margins. The nation is thoroughly prepared for war with Baghdad, and its, relatively small, Caliphate. The Shah, while keeping it relatively unknown to the general population, has decided that he wants a series of wars with smaller neighboring states. At the same time, the economy continues to grow as a result of the prime location between Far East and the Great Sea of Europe.
 * Persian Diplomacy: Persian Shah Arsuf requests a military alliance with the Kingdom of Rome and Levantine Kingdom. Also, we wish to take sides in the raging Indian conflict. We propose the following deal to Orissa: We will send limited amount of troops, and we will eliminate export taxes for Orissan goods passing through Persia, while seizing all goods from Punjab and remaining Indian states. In exchange, we would like your full military support in invading and annexing the lands in OTL Afghanistan and Pakistan. For this agreement to work, we must gain 100% of the land currently held by the states in those territories - we will not split it.
 * Persian Diplomacy: We request the two Persian Sheikdoms back from our friends over at the Arab Federation. They are important to the future expansion and trade growth of our nations.
 * Persian Trade: We are more than willing to make trade agreements with any nation in our region. Our goal is to provide a safe and effective, as well as rapid, land route through Central Asia, and the Mid-East. On average, the price which a product bought in the East, transferred through Persia, and then sold to the West only experiences a 20% price increase, allowing for maximum profits. If any East Asian, or Western nation, would like to make a trade agreement, we would be happy to do so, as we have done for 200 years now!
 * For the last time, you can't switch nations randomly. You can only change nations if it has been destroyed. Go back to playing as Cologne.
 * I would appreciate if the head mod joined this conversation. I have already been told by Sine that he will take over my nations and wreak utter havoc if my wife and I (that is, King Hermann von Gunterin) do not cede the nation, and flee to the Balearic Island, to retire on Palma.


 * United Monarchy of Saxony, Hesse and Magdeburg: (I'm back) The Kassel-Dresden Highway is finally completed, and King-Duke Rupprecht II and his son officially open the road. It is hoped that the grand highway will become a popular route across Central Europe for traders, and by the end of the year, many traders begin using it.
 * Primatial City of Magdeburg: An Aboriginal Priest based in the Saint Boniface Mission is killed by some other aborigines as he was attempting to convert them. The Bishop of Australis immediately declares him a martyr, and sends to the Pope requesting he be made a saint.
 * The Arabian Federation builds up its military as the Sheiks of the Federation vote and the vote is in favour of the invasion of Yemen. Hence, the Sultan decides to invade Yemen to take advantage of the crumbling nation which has been weakened by the Ethiopian invasion. The Yemeni Sheikdoms of the south are the main leaders of the war effort though Shaybah's Emir also wishes to gain some more land at the expense of Yemen.
 * Australian Aborigines: The tribal leader of the Wiradjuri Aboriginal tribe of Australia sends emissaries to the tribes of Wongaibon, Wailwan, Kamilaroi, and Bigambu. These emissaries invite the tribe's leaders to a tribal gathering at Wiradjuri's capital of Wagga Wagga. Due to their close geographical proximity and their deep cultural ties, as a result all of the four tribal leaders are able to and decide to attend. Wiradjuri's tribe leader, Allunga, explains the reason for the gathering. He details his recent meetings with fair-skinned aborigines of a nearby tribe, who tell grand stories passed down by their fathers of groups far away with unrivalled technology, and their dark goals of expansion and extermination. The gathering is initially reluctant to believe such wild stories, but Allunga, who knew this disbelief would come, unveils a rusting metal cuirass and places it at the centre of the gathering. He explains how he sent a scout of his tribe to try to find the truth of these stories, and how he returned telling of a rotting settlement on the nearby coast long since abandoned, and how his scout found that cuiress covering the bones of one of the settlement's long dead inhabitants. Allunga stands and states that this danger could mean the end of their people, and that they should stand together to defend themselves. He proposes the creation of a union, the Koori Union, to be formed out of the lands and peoples of the five tribes in attendance. Stating how the union shall be led by the five tribe leaders in attendance, with one of them elected as Karmai, or leader of the union. The tribe leaders each contemplate their decision. Fear of the outsiders, cultural similarities between the tribes, the trust built up during times of allied conflict and the size and power of the Wiradjuri tribe, leads the tribal leaders to accept. The tribal leaders choose Allunga as Karmai, and then return to their lands to explain to their people this great change.
 * Venice rebuilds western Hungary having annexed all territories west of the Danube. Supplies are sent to Yugoslavia with heavy reconstruction in Bosnia. There are calls from the middle class to make university education more readily available and the King, a very educated man, agrees to this. The King begins the construction of several universities across Venetian cities with every city with over 100,000 inhabitants to now host a university. Smaller towns have smaller education centres to teach towns children how to read. Wealthier townsfolk are also taught to write. Venice expands Nuovo Treviso and Nuovo Venexia by 2100 sq km each. Malacca and Nya Gyptios expand by 5000 sq km each.
 * York: The economy and population grow. The Yorkish Navy is founded as well, bringing an influx of volunteers into the armed forces. King Ron is injured during a hunting trip, accidently stepping into two bear traps in under an hour.
 * Normandy: The Breton Census takes place. The population of Brittany reaches 620,000. The population of Normandy booms to 960,000, due to Welsh, and now French immigrants. Queen JeAnne has twins. A boy and a girl, named Alexandre and Elisabeth, respectively. They are also named the Prince of Cherbourg and the Princess of Neustrie. In December, William V names Albert as heir to the throne.
 * Orissa_(PMII).png merchants become successful. This leads to some more spending in bazaars and more money made. More children also go to schools and a few more are made in the country. Cebunese is learnt in large numbers along with Ethiopian. German is also taken quite a lot. Naya Mataram grows 1000 km onto the island the colony was established on. Cebu sees more Vedics in its country, and helps bolster its faith of Hinduism on the island. Many temples are built, and many Brahmins go on to build Ashrams (missionary schools) in the country, helping poor children get an education in language and religion. The SOC continues to gain money, with Venetian ports becoming huge markets for Orissan products. The hub cities grow even more this year. Industry sees growth as some small factories are made in the colony, too. The Navy sees its new class of ships being constructed and delivered to it on time, and help to keep order in its waters. The NOC sees more profits after trading in Europe. Oudh continues to see mass conversions and the suppression of Muslims and many forced conversions into Hinduism and sends aid to the coalition. With Delhi captured, this goes into overdrive. The amount of anti-Muslim propaganda pumped in and the number of anti-Muslim business laws reach a new high. Thousands of Muslim merchants suddenly find themselves out of business. Thousands more are suddenly unemployed. Many Muslims are forced to move into ghettos around Bihar and Orissa. Many Hindus move into their place as properties are seized from Muslims and given to Hindus. In dark alleyways and shabby ghettos, a plan of Muslim rebellion takes shape. Too long have Muslims suffered under Hindus and it was time to bring India back to the ways of Bengal and the Caliphate. Bihar continues to try to undermine Buddhist teachings, although much more subtly by preaching to the Gurkahs. The country of Kashmir captured from Tibet is added onto Bihar. The Raja orders a building of magnificent splendeur to be designed and made in Agra to honour his dead wife.
 * Mataram continues talks with Sumedang about letting the country enter into a diplomatic union with a growing power (in its own right) in the area. More progress is made.

Lampung is added onto Mataram is divided into smaller provinces. Huge migration between its territories continues, and many decide to move to Negara Daha or Sundabang and visa versa.
 * Russia and the ethnic revolution succeeds. Kiev is captured, and the old king is deposed, and a new king signs the peace treaty with Russia (the one mentioned in the mod event). In any case, Kanada expands 4000 sq km and Russian linen industry grows.

 * Portugal, Aragon, León, Castille and Navarra prepare their militaries. Meanwhile, Francesc II dies, and is succeeded by his only son, who is crowned "By the Grace of God, Francesc III, King of Aragon, Valencia, Majorca, Prince of Catalonia". Meanwhile, since Francesc III is only 15 years old, his uncle Joan III de Borja, Duke of Gandía, assumes the regency. Meanwhile in Navarra, Fernando, second son of Fernando VI, marries one of the daughters of the King of Aquitaine, on an attempt to stabilize Navarran-Aquitainian relations. Meanwhile, in León, Isabel de Luna gives birth to a girl, who is named Joana. Meanwhile, Sofala expands 400 sq km, Santo Amaro expands 500 sq km and in Brasil, Pernambuco expands 2200 sq km, and in Rio da Prata, Córdoba expands 2400 sq km.

 * Ethiopia expands its vassal of Adal by 10,000 km to the south toward the Somali coast, and expands the vassal of Maynila 10,000 km to the south. The military and economy are expanded, and the development of Hindi as a secondary language begins to spread across the empire are trade relations with Orissa continue to grow stronger. The Ethiopian researchers and scientists in Orissa begin working with their compatriots in the nation to develop new ideas and creations.
 * I'm not entirely sure of Hindi emerging as a secondary language - especially seeing how Amharic and Oromo are both really common. Not to mention all the other languages of the various ethnicities within your empire. Fair enough it becomes more popular but certainly not a secondary language of your empire.
 * The Ethiopians only every speak their own languages, with a few learning Amharic to get around. Oromo is the second-largest language, but very few people in that group speak another language. Thus, Hindi is growing as a second language as the other ethnic groups are learning it rather than those spoken by the smaller groups making up the Ethiopian population. Remember, Amharic is the official language. All others are ethnic languages that are more often than not ignored by members of the other ethnic groups.
 * Yay! On a side note, the Arabian Federation has offered you a coalition algorithm against Yemen. I think you should accept it. 
 * I will. ~Viva

 * The Arabian Federation builds up its military as the federation's armies invade Yemen as the neighbouring federation states attempt to expand their territories at the expense of Yemen. During the invasion, one of the Yemeni Sheiks leading the assault into Yemen is killed, thus ending his family's dynasty. On his deathbed he appoints his Sheikdom's neighbouring Sheik Yazid as the inheritor of his throne. Thus the two Sheikdoms are united as the Sheikdom of Wadi Aydam.
 * The Manchurians expand their Báitǔdì colony by 4000 sq km.
 * Somali Sultanate: Coastal expansion (10,000 km northeast) and trading with nearby nations continue.
 * France: The 28 year old Princess Madelein marries the son of the King in Tolouse as his brother Frederic opens relations with the nation and to a future plan of reuniting France under Burgundian rule, While this, fearing German intrusion in France the king offers (forces) the King of the Rhineland to bow to France and become vassal or to face destruction from the Franco-Burgundian armies that would easily Sweep through the Small Kingdom. While this, the military is built up, Navy expands and Nouvelle Bourgogne, and Brasilea Expand at a 750 sq km and Guiane at a 500 sq km rate,  Burgundian language grows in the east, and in the colonies the Orthodox Catholicism grows. Nea Thrakia grows in the Kanareen Islands, and Nea Constantinople becomes the Administrative capital of Brasilea
 * China works on fighting holdouts in the fragmented Tibet. The Himalayan Mountains, allowing Tibet to hide relatively well, prove to be a formidable obstacle for the Chinese. The winter elements kill more soldiers than the actual fighting does. Meanwhile, the emperor falls ill in December.
 * Scandinavia expands its military and economy. Nya Danmark expands 500 sq km onto Cape Breton and the river's mouth and Eriksmark expands 3000 sq km along the bay in both directions. Ny Norg Stad continues its busy port duties and its naval base in the harbor is expanded. Nya Milan (renamed Öst Pekar) expands 1100 sq km around the cape. The Nye Norgen governor sees talks break down with the Myami kingdom. He decides to surround the native nation instead with his colony. The viceroy-sponsored Aymara chief defeats the southern tribes and unites the Aymara under one chief. He swears an oath of allegiance/vassalage to the Viceroy in Nyborgia. The RSN Bengali Fleet continues the blockade of Khmer, playing a large role in the conquest of the country so far. Ligore and Pattani are occupied by General Andrew Murdock's forces. Back home, the Nyborgs lament losing another Scandinavian territory to the Murdocks. Knowing that the Scottish-Norwegian Murdocks are based in Skottland, the Nyborgs secretly begin funding Skottish nationalists in order to destabilize their rivals and acquire control of their colonies(this should be interesting). Edinburgh as a city is given renovations to beautify the city in order for it to surpass London and Cardiff as the British Isles' principal city. Similar renovations are seen in Stockholm. Turku is replaced with Helsinki as the capital of Finland. The Kejszar goes on a state visit through Germany, beginning in Brandenburg, moving to the Wettin Lands, then to Bavaria, and finishing in Austria. From there he goes Venezia where the RSN Erik awaits him to travel back to Stockholm.
 * The Saami expand into the Saami Peninsula (OTL Kola peninsula) and continue to incorporate the East Saami into their society.
 * Russia pulls its last man out of Ukraine after accepting the king's offer of the northern quarter of the Ukraine (I'm assuming this includes Kiev since they moved their capital to Sevastopol) last year. Novorissiya expands 4000. Expansion into Siberia is resumed. Russia establishes towns, including the city of Penza this year to facilitate treaty and defense. Penza as a fort on the Sura river, that grows rapidly. Most new towns in Sibiria are for trade posts and transport. The Russian economy and people do much better due to extra farmland form Ukraine. The Tsar issues an Ukaze (a decree), establishing Kiev as the sixth "great Veche", along with Novgorod, Minsk, Moscow, Pskov, and Kazan. The Duma building is expanded to 550 seats to incorporate the influx of population from the newly annexed lands, whose inhabitants will be granted citizenship and a right to vote after swearing an oath of allegiance to the Russian Crown. AP, thank you for taking care of Russia in my absence. I am back now. I will tweak your edit-for-me a small bit for the addition of economic dev.
 * Minsk works on its military and a new Duma is elected.
 * Tatar State works on more trade and agriculture related things.
 * Apache:  Frederick expands the Apachean territory closer to the Mayan border by 10000 km so the two can share a safer trade and the same will go for the European colonies. This is going to take longer than one turn so don't worry. I am not cheating. Be happy :)
 * Persian Shah Arsuf continues to grow in popularity and grows the military, with some focus on the navy. marries his son, Shahzada Suleiman II, to the Princess of Khafji, creating a Personal Union between the two nations. Next, he establishes a puppet state in Kuwait, forcing Emirs and Sheikhs who agree with him to choose a Sultan who has the interests of Persia at heart. The University of New Persepolis grows in leaps and bounds, attracting both wealthy and intelligent from throughout the Middle East. Armenia continues to grow more tolerant of the new Persian government. Our economy continues to grow rapidly, as more and more safety is instituted along the road system. Guardhouses are added every 25 miles along the Royal Road, as the main highway is now called.

 * Crete continues to expand its army and navy also.
 * UMSHM: King-Duke Rupprecht II dies and his son Eugen ascends to the Royal and Ducal throne, and is crowned by the Primate of the Germans in Magdeburg. More traders use the Trans-Wettin Highway, bringing more and more money to the national treasury (the highway is toll, of course).
 * Primatial City of Magdeburg: His Eminence the Primate of the Germans decides to invest some of the Primacy's money in something, and asks neighbouring countries if they have any projects that need investments. The profits from the investments will be used to purchase more ships and supplies for the Holy Wettin Missionary Order. Speaking of which, the martyred Aboriginal Priest (he had taken the name of Amaroo-Paul) is officially made a Saint. The Bishop of Australia begins planning a new Mission even further afield, but will wait until the existing missions are more firmly established and have larger followings.
 * Venice continues to improve the education system with more universities being constructed. Infrastructure is repaired in Yugoslavia and Hungary. Venice expands Malacca and Nya Gyptios by 5000 sq km each. Nuovo Treviso and Nuovo Brescia expand by 2100 sq km each too.
 * Infrastructure in Yugoslavia is repaired with the construction of the capital progressing well. Talks begin with Montenegro and Bulgaria on a unification of the Southern Slavic peoples and the possibility of Wallachia also joining. The military is expanded.
 * Normandy: William V falls ill with a crippling disease and Queen JeAnne rules as regent indefinitely. Prince Albert turns nine in May, but is still nine years away from being able to inherit the throne. In national news, the navy is extended to cover all Breton jurisdictions, which means that Bretons are now able to join the navy  The economy also improves.
 * More merchants become successful. This leads to some more spending in bazaars and more money made. More children also go to schools and a few more are made in the country. Cebunese is learnt in large numbers along with Ethiopian. German is also taken quite a lot. Naya Mataram grows 1000 km onto the island the colony was established on. Cebu sees more Vedics in its country and many temples and ashrams are built (missionary schools) in the country, helping poor children get an education in language and religion. The SOC gains even more money, and begins to outbuy competition in the Sultanate of Brunei. The hub cities grow even more this year. Industry sees growth as some small factories are made in the colony, too. The Navy sees its new class of ships being constructed and delivered to it on time, and help to keep order in its waters. The NOC sees more profits after trading in Europe. A young scientist by the name of Rajendra Mukarjee discovers the Law of Elasticity (OTL ) and receives the widespread attention of Orissan and Ethiopian scientists. His partner Befikadu Hizkaias is also given some credit. Huge Muslim rebellions kick off in areas of former Malawi and Bijapur, where there are still a few ghettos running. However, the main action takes place in areas of conquered Delhi, where in areas there are still up to 60% Muslims. Huge violence takes place, and hundreds of thousands of Hindus are murdered. The Islamic Alliance of India, as the Muslims are calling themselves, go on to capture much land in areas of Bihar and Orissa. The army is mobilised, and helps evacuate areas which are being overrun. Many battles are fought, and although they end up with an Orissan tactical victory, the Muslim ideas of Jihad means that the Muslims will keep coming at Orissan troops, getting themselves killed but also exhausting Orissan morale and energy. Troops from the colonies are called in to help suppress the rebellion. Right now - everything hangs in the balance. The Raja is too proud to ask for help, however. Bihar continues to try to undermine Buddhist teachings, through all the chaos, and support the Gurkahs who overthrow the Nepali King and install a military Gurkah junta. The Gurkahs soon send aid to Bihar too. Arga, however, is not lost to the IAI (Islamic Alliance of India) as the Raja ensures the troop numbers remain high in the area so that plans for a memorial for his dead wife do not hit any problems. The Raja is confident the rebellion can be crushed, and does not ask for international aid. However, the rebellion highlights the problems between the Vedics and Trimurts as they refuse to fight side by side, giving the Muslims many crucial victories.
 * Mataram continues talks with Sumedang about letting the country enter into a diplomatic union with a growing power (in its own right) in the area. More progress is made. More spices are grown in its territories, with many farmers moving to Sundabang where there are less people - to try to set up new lives. Vedic Hinduism conversion also takes place. Huge migration between its territories continues, and many decide to move to Negara Daha or Sundabang and visa versa. Mataram also goes onto high alert, mobilising its army to the full and keeping it mobilised. They send most of their army to help the Orissans and Biharis and put all their remaining troops around the nation to keep order.
 * The Wettin Lands expand their military and economy, as well as expanding Catholic influence in Australis.

Linen is produced in Mutul. Kappelism and Germanic Catholicism continue gaining followers, with less converting to Italian Catholicism. The Oligarchy continues weakening the power of the Cabinet. More taxes are collected to pay for the government projects. Xaman and Haven expand 2100 km.

 * Armenia Diplomacy: An alliance offer is sent to Persia, and is asked if a Campaign for OTL Georgia to unite the Kingdoms. A Gift is sent to the Persian King.
 * You already are at peace with Persia, and you are their vassal now.
 * Just realized... Wish someone would have put that on the signup page -_-
 * And Georgia is controlled by the Romans.
 * So?
 * Well, if you want to be defeated, i can't stop you by now.
 * ​UMSHM: More and more merchants use the Trans-Wettin Highway, putting more and more money into the state's coffers.
 * Primatial City of Magdeburg: The Primate decides that to make money for the Missionary Order, he must invest in trade with the East Indies.

The military and economy are expanded and the collaboration with the Orissa continues. Hindi continues to grow as a secondary language amongst the Ethiopian people.
 * Many ghettoes are destroyed by the Islamics in their rampage. They control their greatest amount of territory yet. Most of their territory is in Northern former Delhi, most of Oudh and a significant portion of Malwa and Bijapur. More pitched battles are fought, and for the first time the IAI win against the Orissans, even though their losses number is usually of 50% and upward. Most of the Muslim soldiers are fueled by the idea of Jihad and the desire to create an Inslamic Orissa. The war shifts into Islamic favour, even though they only make up 10-15% of the population. The Raja finally asks his allies for help. His popularity decreases and is at the lowest in the eyes of his people. This forces the Raja to snap out of his sorrow over the death of the wife, and personally direct his armies. The Gurkah junta consolidaes their position and sends more Hindu warriors to fight alongside the Biharis. Around Agra, a large muslim force begins to build up supplies and numbers. It seems like Agra might be a spot as to where the war could be decided. The Vedics and Trimurts gain some respect for each other, and some finally start fighting next to each other, trying to stem the rebels. Merchants flee to Orissan-held territory to avoid the Muslims. As a result, businesses take a huge hit, and many run out of money. Schools still run in the country, but only in Orissan lands. Cebunese is learnt in large numbers along with Ethiopian. German is also taken quite a lot. With the chaos, thousands flee to Naya Mataram and it grows 1000 km onto the island the colony was established on. Cebu sees more Vedics in its country and many temples and ashrams are built (missionary schools) in the country, helping poor children get an education in language and religion. The SOC begins to plan an establishment of new colonies as the war continues. It quickly sends all available ships to survey potential lands. They quickly claim the lands of Naya Dakshin Orissa in Australis for Orissa, and begin planning the setting up of colonies in the region. The hub cities are overcrowded as people refuge in the cities to stay away from the rebellion. Industry grows very slowly. The Navy sees its new class of ships being constructed and delivered to it on time, and help to keep order in its waters. The Navy soon decides to help the SOC in its matters, and help escort many SOC ships. The NOC sees more profits after trading in Europe. It also buys many new guns and cannons in Venetian ports which it brings back to Orissa. Scientists continue to work, but their funding has been slashed to help for the war effort.
 * Mataram finishes talks with Sumedang about letting the country enter into a diplomatic union. The treaties and nessecary things are all completed, and Mataram becomes the Union of Mataram and Sumedang. The governments of both countries are made into one and administrative works for Sumedang soon begin. More spices are grown in its territories, with many farmers moving to Sundabang where there are less people - to try to set up new lives. Vedic Hinduism conversion also takes place. Huge migration between its territories continues, and many decide to move to Negara Daha or Sundabang and visa versa. Mataram sees no major rebellions. A few small ones are quickly crushed by the light numbers of troops in the country. However, thousands of Orissans arrive in the country, looking to move away from conflict. As a result, the vassal of Negara Daha expands by 10000 km inland.
 * Russia expand its military and recuperates from what is now called the short war in Ukraine. The new capital should be harder to get to. Russia is very happy with a quarter of Ukraine worth of agricultural land, and tries to influence the new Ukrainian governement even more, Russia having gained the favor of nearly every non-Ukrainian in the nation (a very large minority), and the greatfulness of King Vladimir. Russia's colonies on the Shining Continent expand, Kanada by 3000 sq km down the great lakes, and Novorossiya 1000 sq km up the Venetian colony and then up the Mississippi (if I did not reach it already), staying on the western bank of thre river, official announcing that if Venice supports Russia's claims of lands west of the Mississippi (whatever name it has in ATL), Russia will support Venice's claims to lands east of the Mississippi, making the river the official boundry between both colonies.  Some expansion into Sibiria continues, trying to reach the pacific by the turn of the century. Russia also asks Venice, its largest trade rival, to come to Nikolaevsk to discuss what will be called the treaty of the Shining Continent, a treaty establishing the boundries between the Venetian and the Russian colonies in Antillia (Russian nickname for it since Dimitri Boyasin is Blestayshiy Kontinent-Shining continent). A very young Russian phycisist in the Academy of Sciences by the name of Yakov Nikolaevich Varlamov, while watching an apple fall off a tree in his summer home in the country, ponders on why. In his pondering, he comes up with the three laws of motion, and the universal theory of gravitation. When asked to explain why planets move in elipses instead of circles, he says he will think on it, returning in a month, having invented Calculus. His groundbreaking achievements are published in the Journal Nationaloe Otkritie, as well as being translated into Latin and various other languages for distribution abroad. The last Geo-Heliocentrist in the Russian Academy finally converts to Heliocentrism after Varlamov's publications, him himself being on the peer-review board. In and act of parliament, with pressure by the Academy, Russia's acceptance of Heliocentrism as the leading true theory on the heavens is written into law.
 * Minsk continues to work on agriculture and economy.
 * The Tatar State continues to work on agriculture and economy.

Also, 幽谷 (Kasodani) expands by 1500 sq km, 東海道 (Tōkaidō) expands by 1500 sq km, 屠自古 (Tojiko) expands by 900 sq km.

 * The Manchurians expand their Báitǔdì colony by 4000 sq km.
 * The Mayan Empire continues trade with European colonies. The Royal Science Academy continues work on scientific projects. Flax and tobacco are grown. Research is conducted to improve farming techniques. Linen is produced in Mutul. Kappelism and Germanic Catholicism continue gaining followers, with less converting to Italian Catholicism. The Oligarchy continues weakening the power of the Cabinet.  More taxes are collected to pay for the government projects. More citizens are complaining about the heightened taxes, and a few minor revolts are quickly put down. The Cabinet grows more frustrated, and begins accusing the Oligarchy of being totalitarian. In response, the Oligarchy launches a full investigation of the Cabinet. One member is proven to be inciting riots in the outlying country. The Oligarchy publicly executes him on the steps of the palace, in front of the whole city. A large fire breaks out in central Chichen Itza, burning much of the historical district, including several wings of the palace. (Great Fire of London analog, since it wasn't a mod event). A temporary capital is set up in the the neighboring city of Mayapan, while reconstruction begins. The Oligarchy orders that peasants from the manufacturing state of Mutul be sent to rebuild the city. This increases tensions between the lower and upper classes. Xaman and Haven expand 2100 km.
 * Lol. I had a fire which burned much of Bhubaneswar in 1646, when the plague was going round (plague, fire - get it?).
 * Orissan_colonies_in_Australis_(PMII).png more Muslims join the ranks of the IAI. They capture even more territory, although not as much as their previous campaigns. The Raja's popularity hits its lowest point yet, and many lose faith in him. More pitched battles are fought, and the IAI win more battle against the Orissans. Yet the losses on the muslim side takes its toll, and the Muslim armies avoid Orissan strongholds. The Raja asks his allies for help (I'm looking at you, Viva). They are at their largest extent yet. The Muslims launch a colosal attack on Agra. It is their biggest assult on any city, and the Orissan division in the city has a hard time defending. The battles fought are fierce, as the Orissans have experience, while the Muslims have the sheer numbers and the suicidal will. The Raja, hearing about the siege of Agra, personally orders the formation of two new armies - in which around 10000 Ethiopian slodiers are used - and leads them there. He keep the rest away for a planned future offensive. The division in the city do not know this, and their morale begins to falter. However, the Raja has his population backing him - even though he might not be popular, he is their Hindu Raja. He moves his armies to behind Muslim potions and launches a surprise attack on their rear and flanks as the were fighting the division in the city. The Muslims are caught by surprise, yet do not fold easily. Yet the division in the city sees hope once more as they spot their Raja leading an army to relieve them. It takes three days of continous fighting to finally shatter the Muslim armies at Agra, destroying their fighting capibility in the north completely. News soon spreads of the Raja's victory. This is bolstered by the fact that he was seen fighting alongside his troops and overnight, his reputation turns from a mourning sissy to the people's Raja. Counterattacks all across the nation begin. Brother fights alongside brother, and Trimurts alongside Vedics as they put their differences aside. They are aided by the fiercesome Gurkah warriors, who instill fear in the hearts of their enemies. Many merchants follow troops as they counter-attack, and begin selling - showing that normalcy is returning. Schools still run in the country, but only in Orissan lands. Cebunese is learnt in large numbers along with Ethiopian. German is also taken quite a lot. With the chaos, thousands flee to Naya Mataram and it grows 1000 km onto the island the colony was established on. Cebu sees more Vedics in its country and many temples and ashrams are built (missionary schools) in the country, helping poor children get an education in language and religion. The SOC, alongside the Navy, quickly offer people a place in their ships. The ships fill up rapidly, and most are full in under a day. They soon set off southward and to Naya Mataram. Most arrive in the lands of Naya Dakshin Orissa in Australis and set up colonies. The hub cities are overcrowded as people refuge in the cities to stay away from the rebellion. Industry grows very slowly. The Navy sees its new class of ships being constructed and delivered to it on time, and they help transport people.The NOC sees more profits after trading in Europe. It also buys many new guns and cannons in Venetian ports which it brings back to Orissa. Scientists continue to work, but their funding has been slashed to help for the war effort.
 * Ethiopia vows to stand by its ally during its time of need, and thus sends 50,000 troops to aid the Orissan armies in their fight againt the Muslim armies in India.
 * Finally, lol. The Raja is grateful for the Ethiopian help. He will ensure that Orissa will return the favour in kind someday. Right now, he uses the Ethiopian troops to create his armies to match upon Agra.
 * Mataram builds up its armed forces. More spices are grown in its territories, with many farmers moving to Sundabang where there are less people - to try to set up new lives. Vedic Hinduism conversion also takes place. Huge migration between its territories continues, and many decide to move to Negara Daha or Sundabang and visa versa. Thousands more Orissans arrive in the country, looking to move away from conflict. As a result, the vassal of Negara Daha expands by 10000 km inland. Sumedang also expands 10000 km.
 * The Nasrid Sultanate develops the military and economy. Cruzism continues to spread out of Malaga and into the surrounding region. The Sultan decides to fund an expedition to OTL Madagascar to find a colony there. New Tunis expands by 2000 sq km. New Murrakus expands by 1000 sq km. New Ishbiliyya expands by 1000 sq km.
 * Korea sends gifts to the court of China's new ruler and the emperor pays his respects to the late emperor. Korea expands its navy and the pirate menace becomes less noticeable, and asks China to assist in establishing new trading alliances with the partners that made China prosperous in the Eastern Renaissance.
 * China accepts the gifts and offers an alliance to Korea.
 * Germany expands its military and economy. The colonies expand at their new normal rates. The Kaiser finishes his plan to secure Poland under the hands of the House of Hohenzollern, killing off the King quietly. However the same poison used against Poland is used against the Kaiser and he is slowly poisoned to death. His son takes the throne and his wife is the Queen of Poland. Mysore continues pushing
 * The military and economy of China expands as the infrastructure in Tibet is rebuilt.
 * Cyprus continues to expand its army and navy. Nea Lefkosia expands by 900 sq km, Nea Larnaka expands by 900 sq km, Nea Lemesos expands by 800 sq km, and Nea Pafos expands by 700 sq km.
 * France: the military is built up,Colonies expand Nouvelle bourgogne and Brasilea both by 750 sq km and guiane by 500 sq km, vassalization of lorrain and now Switzerland continues,and plans to bring france to its former glory continue, school system continue growing reaching a 22 % of all the countries population by the end of the year
 * Again Collie, add my Antilian colonies I posted it a few days ago. The colonies were kept by the kingdom and should still be part of Burgundy, now France.
 * "Genoa: Our three colonies (Africa, East Cuba, East Hispaniola) are offered to Burgundy for money and weapons. The navy is improved.
 * Burgundy: We accept your outstanding offer and we will pay the needed money to gain these colonies.
 * I want my East Cuba, Africa and East Hispaniola back, please. Sine dei gloriem (talk) 02:30, April 4, 2013 (UTC)
 * After 100 years of ignoring them you suddenly decide you want them? They have all collapsed and disappeared by now.
 * Nope, I didn't ignore them. I was forced to when the Dutch got independent and according to AP I had no outlet to the sea. Then, after Luxemburg took mine, but I didn't ignore them. You ignored me counting them as part of me. I even corrected several maps to add their expansion.
 * Also, I gave greater priority to Neu Antwerp and Brasilea at the time, and I wasn't sure which colony was from the Dutch so...
 * Bavaria expands infrastructure. Does more stuff.
 * Scandinavia expands its military and economy. Nya Danmark expands 500 sq km onto other islands and the river's mouth and Eriksmark expands 3000 sq km along the bay in both directions. Ny Norg Stad continues its busy port duties and its naval base in the harbor is expanded. Öst Pekar expands 1100 sq km around the cape. The sponsored Aymara chief marches south steadily, taking the rest of the area by year's end. Oudong falls and Prey Nokor is easily captured. The Khmer Empire is annexed. However, the Crown does not wish to have to administrate yet another colony and therefore grants the territory to the Scandinavian Southeast Asia Company, run by the Murdock family. They divide the former Khmer lands into the vassals of Kambodja and Siamska. They are administered by the company, but serve the Crown. Construction of naval bases commences immediately. The Viceroy of Nya Skandinavia tours the ancient Incan capital of Kuszko(obviously the Swedish name for OTL Cuzco), now under his domain, and is impressed at its beauty. He orders its preservation for future generations. He brings artifacts back to the viceregal palace in Nyborgia and begins a small collection of Incan items. The Kejszar orders a resting period for the country, as it has had two relatively close wars. The Riksdag sympathizes, and Scandinavia enters a period of economic growth during peacetime.
 * The Saami expand into the Saami Peninsula (OTL Kola Peninsula) and continue to incorporate the East Saami into their society.
