Principia Moderni (Map Game)

Principia Moderni, or "The Beginning of the Modern" in Late Latin, is a map game beginning in the final days of the Middle Ages in Europe, and the early days of the Ming dynasty in China--1420 C. E...The House of Hohenzollern have become the Electorates of Brandenburg--though most of the power in the Holy Roman Empire still lies with the Habsburgs, Joan of Arc has defeated the English at Orleans, the city of Tenochtitlan is founded by the Aztecs, the Timurid Empire has united Central and West Asia, and the Yongle Emperor sends out Zheng He to voyage westwards. It is a turbulent era, in other words, an era of change, and an era in which power is cemented.

1750

 * The Vietnamese expand their East African colony by 38*50 sq km. The Vietnamese officially recognize the Empire of Nippon as being an independant nation, but they request that an alliance be founded between the Vietnamese and Nippon. The Vietnamese continue to ramp up support of the Anti-Carlists, as they are sending as much arms and soldiers as possible while remaining neutral.
 * Nippon agrees to the alliance with Vietnam
 * Naples continues to exist in civil war. The Anti-Carlist foreces move into Sicily, and the two vassals, Siena and Florence, both join up with them. Istoias, Tunisia, Israel, and Vicia all are in Anti-Carlist hands, but the king still controls Ricasolia. His advisors advise he flee to Ricasolia and sue for peace for that independent kingdom, or break a portion of Naples away to form his own Italian state, like Fuzolia did 50 years before. Yet Carlo VII refuses, for he arrogantly believes he can yet win this war. It is doubtful he can last more than one more year.
 * Finland continues to build up their military, and continue to build and improve some infrastructure. Finland also expands their new colony 250km inward and Finland also expands their 2nd new colony 250km inward.
 * A rebellion in southern Újfundlandi, takes place, over issues of local control and taxation.the rebellion is quickly put down by the government forces.Meanwhile, King Ladislaus dies, and is suceeded by his son Miklós, crowned Nicholas I.some progress with the steam engine is made, but not enough to figure out how to produce one. the country's economy improves.More rural exodus start to be seen on Hungary.Greece updates its military.the rest of the island of Canariae Insulae which was not conquered is taken (450 sq km).Újfundlandi's southern part expands 2300 sq km to connect with the central part.
 * Turan works on it's military. The Yeniceri institution is founded. Suleyman visits Mecca.
 * Yemen sends an expedition force of 5'000 experienced troops to OTL western Madagaskar, in order to make it more appropriate to colonise it in 1751, as planned.
 * With independence gained by Nippon, the people rejoice and a parades takes place in the Imperial capital of Kyoto, and the Shogun's capital of Edo. The military forces are amped up in order to make sure the country is protected. The Imperial navy is greatly expanded in order to make sure Nippon can control the many islands in her empire.
 * The Emperor Robert IV of France builds up its military and restarts the invasion of Wolof. The emperor sends ambassadors to Nippon asking a trade agreement.
 * Nippon accepts the trade agreement
 * Ethiopia establishes contace with Kongo, and there colony next to Kongo is name after the surrounding nation. Friendly relations ensue between Ethiopia and Kongo, and Ethiopia helps Kongo by giving it European technology. Because of this, Kongo excersises several frequent wars against Ngoyo.
 * Meanwhile, back in Ethiopia's home territories, Tesfaye Gabru publishes a book called 'The Future Union of Africa, a future and better world'. The book details what Gabru plans to do with Africa if his rebellion succeeds. It details a Union of African Empires(lead by Ethiopia) that are a united nation, but are also governed seperately, with each nation sending an Elder to Ganananora to vote for or against laws to be passed. In his ideal world, Ethiopia would get two votes, one for the King(whose power would be dramatically reduced) and an Elected Official. Of course, all this is just fantasy, most people in Ethiopia are suprised the rebellion has gone on this long.
 * Incan-Colombian Republic: Expasnion begins. The Army now numbers 20,000 men.8 warships purchased from other nations defend te ICR's coasts.
 * Nippon gained Kamchatka from Vietnam by the way mr mapmaker & Nippon should also have a port on the southern tip of Karafuto.VonGlusenburg  (talk to Von!) 11:34, December 17, 2011 (UTC)
 * I was in doubt if actually you annexed Sakahalin.and i don't remember you mentioning Kamchatka. it will be a colony or integral part of your territory?
 * Just read 1749, where I talk with Vietnam about getting Kamchatka, and its only the southern tip of Sakahalin Nippon have got not the whole island Nippon only established a port in 1748. Kamchatka will be part of the territory, as will Sakahalin & all the Kuril islands eventually. Not going to be making colonies for a while yet, gonna expand the living space of my empire first VonGlusenburg  (talk to Von!) 19:13, December 17, 2011 (UTC).

'''How is that possible? All the massacres of the war were committed by the royalists. How are they more popular than the rebels?'''
 * Naples continues to be in civil war. After losing Naples city, Carlo VII goes on a desperate attack against the Vietnamese forces, which he believes to be the weakest of his enemies due to racism. It is a mistake which costs him his life. He is killed in battle, and his supporters surrender. Benvolio III is restored to the throne, and he creates a new government which is a constitutional monarchy. Petruchio decides to join the senate and becomes the Chancellor. Right before he retires his astronomy tower, he announces the discovery of a new planet beyond Saturn. He names it Benvolium Sidus, after the king of Naples, but outside of the kingdom it is primarily known as Uranus, to carry on the mythology traditions. Since Uranus was observed in OTL as early as 1690, I assumed having it discovered as a whole new planet a couple decades early wasn't too extreme
 * Incan-Colombian Republic: Naples is offered an alliance. Expasnion continues. The Army reaches 40,000 men with the latest muskets purchased from Europe as well as the Navy reaching 20 of the latest warships.
 * There is no way a tiny nation formed of scattered, impoverished refugees could create an army of 40,000 so quickly. That would probably be greater than your adult population. And don't say anything like 75% of the Incas escaped or anything, only a couple boats would have been able to get passed the various armadas which were attacking your nation, you probably have less than 10000 original members.
 * I agree that it might be better to cut it down to maybe 4,000 soldiers.
 * Turan works on intensively on military.
 * Finland continues to build up their military, and continue to build and improve some infrastructure. Finland also expands their new colony 250km inward and Finland also expands their 2nd new colony 250km inward. Finland also asks Nippon for an alliance.
 * Nippon accept the Finish alliance
 * The Vietnamese expand their New Vietnam colony by 76*50 sq km. The Vietnamese establish a trade link between the Incan-Columbian Republic and their occupied former homeland. They allow any nationalist Incan still living in the former homeland passage to the ICR for a small fee. Any Incan not wanting to live under European rule is free to board a ship bound for their new homeland.
 * Hungary's economy improves.Meanwhile, more people start to lve in the cities.A breakthrough is made with the steam engine, that start to be produced by the end of the year.Greece updates its miltary, and offers to buy Armenian Cilicia in trade for part of the Hungarian colony of India, with Hungary only knowing of the deal well after it has been proposed.However, it lets the deal go on.Namib expands 350 sq km.Újfundlandi és a Labrador expands 2400 sq km on its southern part, to connect with the northern part.
 * China builds textile factories in Beijing and Shanghai. The urbanization of their colonies continues along with the urbanization of China itself. This allows the colony in Mexico to expand northward by 3800 sq km.
 * Nippon reorganises the nation so each prefecture of the empire is ruled by a Daimyo, and they take part in the Daimyo council with the Shogun & his advisers so national policy can be decided. Nippon also claims the rest of the Chishima (Kuril) islands, and the remaining Chishima islands begin to be colonized, with 800 sq KM being colonized this year. Nippon also ask Russia for their territory on one of the Chishima (Kuril) islands in return for a trade deal and an alliance.
 * France builds up its military. The emperor asks his chancellors in the swedish states to join the invasion of Wolof.
 * Yemen sends additional 5'000 troops to western Madagascar and finally begins to colonize that region, fighting against local rival tribes.
 * Empress Elizabeth of Russia is angered by Nippon's claim of the Kurils, but decides to do nothing. MEanwhile, becasue of a great influx of visitors, and a population boom, Novorossiya expands a midboggling 9000km inland!(this is bacause of 3x indutrialization bonus!). Meanwhile the Polish king claims the throne of Poland-Lithuania, prompting the Russian Governement to Declare war on Poland. Note that that was just a piece of propaganda that Russia had spread and the Polish king, not denying it, made many of the world's nations believe this to be true. Russia's ground forces mobilize into poland. Elizabeth issued a declaration to the King of Poland saying: "we shall see who is ruler of Poland-Lithuania, you or I!". meanwhile, in central RUssia, People start creating many factories in the cities and now in moscow, there is the first large industries starting out. People start to think of better ways to use steam power to improve the efficiency and speed to travel...
 * Sweden's small use of steam power spreads across the Swedish lands to Denmark, Netherlands, Scotland and France. Small "factories" spring up across these lands as a shipment of 100 steam machines with the Swedish design are given to their leigelord-France's King Robert. The Swedish military expands and Sweden promises to help France against Wolof. The Northern Flanders persuades the king of Southern Flanders to join with the Netherlands and talks start the following year.
 * The King of Sweden is the King of France, who agreed that you cannot regain Scotland in any shape or form. That was the treaty that ended the war. In fact, this post is implausible for 2 reasons, so I am striking it down. 1. Nations just don't vote to become puppet states They have to have a good reason, like either for protection against some enemy (which no one is threatening Scotland) or out of fear of being invaded or something. 2. The Scottish just fought a war to become independent from Sweden, they are not going to rejoice at all to be taken back over. Therefore, if the Swedes bribed the officials to take back over, they would be overthrown again. This is totally unrealistic and against the agreement. This is just like Finland and Prussia, you just can't bear for your nation to lose any land. I am tired of you contiously going against the agreements everyone else abides with whenever you lose anything.
 * Anotther thing unreleated: The current Emperor (not king) of France and Sweden is Robert IV (in the swedish case, Robert I, I guess... I don't know what is the succession order that Sweden follows). Anyway, the Netherland were renamed "Kingdom of [Northern] Flanders" to support my claim over the Southern independent Flanders. When we coqnuest it, I'll let you absorb it all. And please, don't break my treaty with Vietnam. I'm responsable for any action you do while you're my "vassal". In a few years (10, 15, at most 20), I'll give you your independence back and there will pass enough time to ignore the treaty and re-vassalize Scotland. By the way, if you're gonna support my invasion of Wolof, tell me if you want any land in that region.
 * Ethiopia's republican rebels cut off the government's trade routes, forcing much of the trader class to join the Republicans side. The Rebels get a massive boost. Emperor Iyasu steps down from his position, handing the title of Emperor of Ethiopia to his son Iyoas. Iyasu travels to the north of the Country, to the mainly Islamic coast. There, he is ambushed and killed, by Islamists hoping to make the North an independent nation. The Republicans make a deal with Northern Chiefs, and the whole area of OTL North- Western Eritrea (plus everything north of that) comes under the rebels control. Iyoas vows vengeance on the Republicans, and has the entire population of Schmittists in Ganananora killed. However, as the war goes on, public opinion is shifting back towards the Monarchy, as some Republican forces have commited serious crimes against the people.
 * Persia begins to build up and modernize the army for an invasion of Shahzrur.

1752
''' The famine continues across West Africa, entering its fifteenth year. A brave set of two hundred Frenchmen and New Songhailese journey across West Africa to report on the kingdoms. They return at the end of the year with only twenty three members and bring disturbing reports of widespread cannibalism and the collapse of the Gao, Timbuktu and Hausa Empires with the Jennes Empire also losing the northern half of its nation. Other more well off nations like Benin, Morocco and Wolof have had major expansion into unexplored and disorderly regions. Tunjur establishes a border with Egypt and is reported to have destroyed Darfur. A new African nation is discovered around the the three lakes in East Africa. '''
 * When you say loss, you mean that the areas have to be black in the next map? if not, who annexes the territories? And, I assume that Hausa, Timbuktu and Gao entered in civil disarray, isn't it?
 * Don't update the map yet. I'll make one and I'll post it as cartographers will renter the region after the famine ends. 
 * The only problem is that Wolof just lost a war with France and is in another one, so they probably would be focussing all of their forces on defending themselves from the French, so they probably wouldn't have expanded at all
 * To them it was a minor war and they lost very little. They are expanding to enslave peoples and gather the meagre food resources avaliable around them to feed their peoples. However, Wolof did not expand as much as the others due to the French war against them.
 * Naples builds up its military, recovering from the war. Both Istoias and Ricasolia are expanded by 500 square kilometers. A third of the money confiscated from Carlo VII and his supporters is primarily used to rebuild the shattered Neapolitan economy. Another third is offered to Yemen, with Benvolio III stating that by making a colony on Madagascar, they are challenging the Neapolitan claim to that island, and that it is better they take the small bribe than start a war. The final third is sent to Scotland, where the Neapolitans pay off several prominent Scottish politicians, who unveil the conspiracy by Sweden to conquer and re-oppress the Scots. After the outrage from the Scottish people that their politicians would sell out the nation which just lost many people to defeat the Swedes and liberate themselves leads to the downfall of that government, Chancellor Petruchio tells the King of France that he should have the Swedish nobles that attempted to defy the agreement excecuted. Seriously, is there something in the Red Sea that makes nations that border it greedy for Madagascar and disrespectful of Neapolitan claims to that island? To refresh, the Neapolitans claim the islands of Madagascar, Cuba, that little unclaimed island south of Cuba, and their current territory. They want independent Scotland They want nothing else in the entire globe, make your colonies somewhere else than Madagascar!
 * The steam engines produced start to be used in manufacturing, mostly in Central Hungary.Rural exodus continues, especially from the rural areas of Ultraylvania to the cities of Koloszvár and Temesvár, aside of other smaller cities.Meanwhile, tensions beweeen the colonists in Újfundlandi and the Hungarian government continue to rise, leading to direct actions against the Hungarian government.Neos Preveza expands 2550 sq km in the OTL Michigan settlements.Namib expands 450 sq km and Dél-Afrika expands 50 sq km.
 * The Vietnamese expand their New Vietnam colony by 76*50 sq km.
 * Finland continues to build up their military, and continue to build and improve some infrastructure. Finland also expands their new colony 250km inward and Finland also expands their 2nd new colony 250km inward.
 * Nippon expands her territory in the Chishima (Kuril) islands by 800km. The Shogun also removes Kamchatka's prefecture status and makes it a colony of Nippon, after Kamchatka's Daimyo insulted the Shogun. The Daimyo of Kamchatka is also exiled to, and he goes to live in North America. The Nansei islands also become a prefecture of Nippon as Nansai Prefecture, comprising both the Satsunan Islands and Ryukyu Islands. The colony of Karafuto is also declared after joining together the two trading posts and their adjacent territory into one colony. Information of Nippon's colonies, and a map of Nippon's prefectures can be found on Nippon's nation page.
 * Itsaygahimap.pnggahi continues to thrive, with trade expanding across the whole nation, and more wealth pouring into the cities bulging along the Gulf Coast. In an attempt to replicate the success of the City Princes, the Marcher Lords hand out self-governance charters to towns on the Great Lakes Coast. Though colder and having less trade opportunities, this doesn't stop entrepreneurial spirit and it isn't long before Russians, Italians and Hungarians are joining Itsaygahans in the towns of the north.
 * New map of Itsaygahi
 * The Emperor of France, Robert IV, continues invading Wolof, while the colony of Haiti expands 3500 sq km. The emperor starts to promove the industrialization, importing and exporting machines in the different industrialized kingdoms of his empire. Rouseeau asks Petruchio to form a new alliance between the two countries and offers a military alliance to Itsaygahi.
 * Petruchio, who is pro-French, has the Senate pass an official alliance with France.
 * China continues to expand northward by 3800 sq km. They offer military protection to Itsaygahi. Meanwhile, explorers encounter several southwestern American tribes, including the OTL Navajo people. The militia in the Mexican colony is increased just in case.
 * Almost all of the Republican urpising are all killed in Ethiopia when the Royal forces storm their hideout. A prince named Mengistu Teshale offers to lead the revolution if Ethiopia can be a constitutional monarchy(under him) and not a republic. The republican leaders that remain, are forced to accept, as the tides of the war are starting to turn against them. Some forces of the army that are loyal to the Prince join too.
 * Sweden sends more steam machines to Denmark, Northern Flanders and France. There they form small "factories". The council of nobles are angered by the meddling Napolitians. Northern Flanders and Southern Flanders begin talks to unite the two nations for security and economic reasons. The final agreement at the end of the year is for full unification under the Swedish crown as a very loosely controlled vassal state. Sweden claims the northern third of Wolof.
 * The emperor agrees to give the northern third to the Council of Sweden.
 * Turan builds its armies up.
 * Persia begins to build up and modernize the army for an invasion of Shahzrur.

1753

 * The Vietnamese expand their New Vietnam colony by 76*50 sq km.
 * Tokugawa Munetada is appointed Admiral of the Nipponese Navy by his older brother, Shogun Tokugawa Ieshige. The new Admiral is tasked with overseeing the expansion of the Imperial navy and colonizing the remaining Chishima islands. He does this by having several new European style galleon ships commissioned into the Imperial Navy, and colonizes 500 sq km of the Chishima islands too.
 * Finland continues to build up their military, and continue to build and improve some infrastructure. Finland also expands their new colony 500km inward.
 * Naples continues to expand the military, and trade continues to improve with a steadily larger middle class. Meanwhile, colonial expansion has reached new heights, with both Ricasolia and Istoias being expanded by 1150 square kilometers as their populations continue to grow. King Benvolio has the rebuilt Neapolitan navy build new bases on Madagascar and Cuba, to protect them from any more nations that attempt to colonize them.
 * Hungary's economy continues to improve.More steam engines start to be used on manufacturing.Meanwhile, in Újfundlandi, a convention of delegates of the provinces of Újfundlandi és a Labrador meets on Szent János.only one province does not send delegates.Greece updates its military, and asks Hungary to buy the area around the city of Preveza.Hungary accepts.Once again, it asks France to buy Armenian Cilicisa, as the proposal wasn't answered before.Egyptian forces at the southern border notice the existance of a more organized state than the tribes which bordered Egypt some time ago. the military is updated just in case.Namib expands 1000 sq km south, and Neos Preveza expands 2000 sq km.
 * In Ethiopia, as things are starting too get more and more anarchic, the Emperor Iyoas is killed in battle with the Republicans. One of the Emperor's close advisors named Giyorgis installs himself in power in the outer regions of the empire, while the (not entirely republicans) take Ganananora. Giyorgis starts the reign of terror, killing thousands seen as not supporting him. Mengistu proclaims that the golden age of Ethiopia is near.
 * Turan's Yeniceri (army) continues to grow.
 * My watch was wrong, I erased the turn. Sorry.
 * Russia forces continue their advance into Poland together with Lithuanian, Armenian, some Finnish(protection of commonwealth blabady blah), Kazakh, and remaining iroquois forces, they begin their full military campain and besiege both Krakow and Warszawa(Warsaw). People think that it is just a matter of time before The Poles surrender. Meanwhile, in industrialization terms, the Pavlov family has a breakthrough, what if we built a non-hydraulic cooling steam engine? what if we could be able to use it for transport?. In america, Russian America(Alaska) expands 1000km on each side(to a total of 2000km), and Canada expands 3000km inland towards the great lakes.
 * Wait, Krakow is Hungarian.When Poland divided itself, the Hungarian vassal who later was annexed by Hungary had its capital in Krakow.
 * China declares war on the Otomis and Tamaulipec tribes. The invasion is swift and many settlements are destroyed. While most of the culture is destroyed, parts of it are preserved. Several of the leaders of the settlements, along with anyone who fought against the Chinese, ended up being executed by firing squad.
 * Sweden expands its military. Thorlaand expands by 3050sqkm.
 * Persia begins to build up and modernize the army for an invasion of Shahzrur.

1754
''' The famine in Takrur has resulted in the northern half of that nation being abandoned and going back to wild areas and ruins, unsettled by any but tribes (black on the map). The Southern half falls into civil disarray. In Akon, conflicts between the Catholic Burgundian colonists and the normal Akon religion people results in the nation being split between Catholic and Animist Akon, Catholic to the west. However, the famine shows signs of steadily ending, and it may have only a couple years left. Meanwhile in South America, Onguayal expands slightly towards the former Incan Empire colonies. '''

''' There is no communications with the entire Atlantic coast of Africa and the interior Western and Central areas (expept the colonies) as Many tribes and areas have had moral decay and thousands are resorting to cannibalism. '''

''' Note that the crossed out portion was from Scandinator's attempt to anull my entire post so that he had total mastery over the entirety of west Africa. '''

''' My portion merely tried to explain why I crossed yours out. It was not another mod post. May you please explain how the information from Takrur came through 1000km of cannibals, tribal warfare and expanding empires? '''

''' Because people flee from Cannibals, tribal warfare, and enemy empires? I'll add in a thing about scattered refugees informing people of this, but since Takrur is really close to New Songhay, it shouldn't be too hard for them to reach there, and from there France '''

''' ... How did I miss the refugees???? Also Takrur is the one to the very north... also thanks, I have a backstory for Guinea. But please keep takrur on the map albeit, in civil disorder. '''

 Only the northern bits fell into nothingness, the southern areas of Takrur remained but in civil disorder 
 * The Vietnamese expand their New Vietnam colony by 76*50 sq km. The Vietnamese officially withdraw their soldiers from their portion of former Mughal India. They make an announcement that they will sell the territory to any nation interested for a pittance, as they have decided to wash their hands of India. They declare a new Taiwanese vassal state to replace the former vassal state of Nippon. They declare the capital of Taiwan to be the quickly-growing city of Taipei, and create a new flag to replace the outmoded tiger flag used by the Joseon colonial regime. The resulting flag is a red banner with a white sun in a blue canton. The government is officially a republic, but it's Premier is an aging Joseon colonial governor who rules as an autocrat. The new vassal state is set to be a wealthy trade hub as trade routes to China, Vietnam, Nippon and New Lithuania pass through it.
 * King Benvolio III of Naples, eager to expand the alliance with Vietnam, and eager for a new colony, sends Vietnam 1.5 times the amount of money that they initially requested for India.
 * The Vietnamese eagerly accept the Neapolitan offer, as they are intent on getting the unpopular "colony" off their hands.
 * Naples takes control of the colony, which is named India.
 * Sweden sends a counter offer of 1.75 times the amount of money Vietanm wants. Also my colony borders the Vietnamese one, Sweden offers to split the colony with Naples.
 * It is too late, for Naples has already bought the colony and has established control over it. However, as they don't have many Neapolitans there, so they may be willing to divide the colony, but Benvolio III wants to add a new colony to Naples, so he could sell it to Sweden in exchange for one of the Swedish colonies that aren't used that much.
 * Personally I'd rather have Lurker have it. I'd rather not reward your recent behavior, Scand.
 * Finland continues to build up their military, and continue to build and improve some infrastructure. Finland also expands their new colony 500km inward.
 * Turan keeps building its military.
 * Empress Elizabeth gives the Diet of Finalnd to refuse the aiding of russia militarily in a war if 3/4 of the diet agree. However, the russian military must always aid the finns in their time of need. More to come on the polish war...and could please somebody do the algorithm for the Russo-Polish war?
 * The Emperor of France expands the Haiti colony 3500 sq km. He offers support to Russia in the war against Poland if, in exchange, Russia stop any claims in Sweden and its domains and the Russian accept to become allies of the French and Swedish. The king accept to sell the old Cilician state to Greece in exchange for a territory in the colony of India. France offers an alliance to Nippon. Please, make the Second Wolof War algorithm.
 * Nippon accepts the alliance
 * The territory on India is sold, While as part of the trade agreement with Turan, parts of Cilicia, and of Greece are sold to Turan in trade for inland territory. Meanwhile, Hungary proposes Naples to buy a area on the former Vietnamese colony, namely the strait leading to Taprobana for the value originally offered by Vietnam.Meanwhile, Hungary's economy improves.However, open armed conflict starts in Újfundlandi, especially on the city of Liptó, on the northeastern tip of Újfundlandi.from the area, and in Új Kotor, a all-out war between the Hungarian forces and the colonist militia starts, and another congress of delegates of provinces starts on Szent András.In light of this, Hungary starts to update its military.Meanwhile, expansion on Ezsák-Afrika resumes, and the colony expands 3050 sq km.more colonists are sent to the outpost of Zöld-fok (on the mainland), after is discovered that the former colonists died of starvation.
 * The Neapolitans are only just beginning to organize the colony, and they don't know what Taprobana is or exactly what Hungary wants. Perhaps the Hungarians could give them a map?
 * A Polish diplomat succeeds in convincing Sweden to join to war against Russia. The Netherlands and Arabia send in supplies as Sweden and Estonia mount full military campaigns into Russian territory. Pskov, Riga and St Petersburg are captured in brilliant manoeuvres by the Swedish army against the garrisons in the three cities before the main Russian army arrives and the Swedish navy takes the Estonian islands before bombarding the coast of Lithuania with heavy mortar and cannon fire. Thorlaand expands by 3050sqkm. Sweden encourages the Vietnamese, Neopolitans and French to join the cause for a free Polish state
 * The Emperor is angry because the chancellors of the Swedish States didn't ask him permission to join the war, defying his royal power to manage the foreign relations of the country. In reprisal, Robert IV trims a quearter of the total swedish seats in the Parliament and mances with punish the chancellor if he challenge the Crown again. Rousseau convinces the Emperor to join the war against Russia to support the Swedes. The Emperor accepts, but he doesn't return the seats to Sweden. He also sends an ambassador to represent him in the councils of government in the swedish states.
 * You cant do what hyou did in the war for 2 reasons, 1. To attack from estonia would mean getting troops navaly to Estonia, and BTW the Russian navy exists so it would be impossible to mount an invasion from estonia, and 2. to invade from sweden would mean marching troiugh Finland!
 * NOTE: Poland leads the war. Only Poland can gain any territory from Russia
 * The remaining 250 sq km of the unclaimed Chishima islands are colonized by Nippon. With nearly all of the Chishima islands now under Nipponese control, Nippon once again ask  Russia Finland for her territory in the Chishima (Kuril) Islands, this time offering a trade deal and money. The Imperial navy is also greatly expanded with mostly lots of Frigates being added to the navy. Admiral Tokugawa Munetada also splits up the navy into several fleets each to protect an area of Nippon e.g. the Chishima fleet, Hokkaidō fleet, Shikoku fleet, etc. Crops from Europe are bought by Nipponese traders so the Nipponese settlers in Karafuto, Hokkaido and the Chishima islands can grow food more suited to the climate in the cold northern Nipponese territories. Things like wheat, soybeans, potatoes, onions, pumpkins, and corn are grown by settlers and this encourages a lot of the poorer Nipponese to move up north in order to be given land and crops to grow on the land. Nipponese miners move into the Chishima islands to mine the islands, and many tree farms/plantations are set up too by the Nipponese timber industry. Lots of fishermen also set up residence to fish the well-stocked seas around the Chishima islands. 250 sq km is colonized in Karafuto to, as more settlers move their to make use of the cheap farm land.
 * Yemen continues to colonise western Madagascar.
 * Itsaygahi accepts military alliances with France and China. Tobacco besomes a cash crop in Tanasi, and Huron becomes increasingly cosmospolitan as towns and cities emerge along their coastline. The Janissary Legions raised from Huron develop a reputation for brutal efficiency, a characteristic they share with the emerging nobility who develop highly efficient agriculture.
 * Russian Empress looks at the Swedish traitors in disgust. The Russians manage to quickly reclaim lost lands in the surprise attack. MEanwhile, surprisingly, while calling in reinforcements from the polish front, the russian forces suffer great losses and are pushed back to the border. The Russians call on the CHinese, the Mons, the vietnamese and many more to help russia repuse the invasion of sweden!(why can anybody resist messing into russia's wars! Yank, I now feel your pain about kunarian). The call to arms also calls on the naitons' vassals to take up arms against the sweeds that "wish to control all of asia, russia is just the begining"(this is propaganda)
 * Turan will send supplies in exchange for an alliance.
 * Russia agrees
 * Sweden learns of the massages and announces that the Swedish Empire is merely trying to help the Polish cause for an independant state. A Swedish alliance with Turan would also be much more useful to the Turans
 * Russia is a much larger state and can provide every known resource the world has to offer. The Russians pledge to support turan in any war that does not contradict russia's previous alliances and/or morals
 * The Emperor Robert IV of France and Sweden asures the world that the unique territorial gains of the war will be polish and the war is to keep the polish independence. If the swedish statemen attempt to take any land, or even destroy the government of Russia and its allies, the Emperor itself will execute the noblemen of the councils and nullify the swedish right to autonomy. The Emperor also reminds Turan that defy him means a possible war with the United Kingdom of Edessa and Antiosh, which sends troops to support the war. Roussea, in a last attempt to stop the unnecessary massacre, offers Russia to sell the territory claimed by Poland in exchange for a peace treaty and a pact assuring that Sweden and France will never have any land in the Asian Continent (except India).
 * 'Emperor' Giyorgis leads a reign of terror against any in the rural areas who oppose him. Thousands are senselessly murdered. Giyorgis' name becomes synonomous in Ethiopia with murder. Giyorgis kills his own officials before hanging himself. Mengistu proclaims himself the real emperor, and the Mengistuan Dynasty of Ethiopia begins. Negotiations are still going on, but the new Ethiopia it seems will be a federation of States all of which will be democratic, except for the largest (and the only one more powerful than the others) that will be ruled by Mengistu. Mengistu will be recognized as Emperor, and will conduct foreign policy. After his death, and senate will be created to take federal power away from the King.
 * Also, Mengistu makes a proclamation that Ethiopia will again become involved in world affairs and protect the rights of the 'people' whenever nessecary.
 * China announces support for Russia. Meanwhile, they invade more tribes in OTL northern Mexico, though the progress is slowed. Though the support to Russia exists mainly as help with supplies, the Chinese begin to send troops in to help China by September.
 * Turan works vigurously on military.
 * Persia begins to build up and modernize the army for an invasion of Shahzrur.

1755
''' A massive earthquake devestates Libson, Portugal. The resulting tsunami and fires almost totally destroy the city and surrounding areas. Over ten thousand dies. Southern England and Morrocco and badly hit as well, and Morrocco expands further into the desert as refugees flee inland. The kindom of Pedang annexs the rest of Java and establishes forts and towns along Borneo's southern coastline. Manoa revolts and turns the tables against Onguayal, vassalizing them. The famine in Africa shows signs of ending with harvests successful along the coast from New Songhai to Benin. However the area is still very volatile and dangerous. '''

''' The Indian nations are united under a Maharaja who names the new nation Bharat after closer cooperation between the nations over the past hundred years after the fall of the Mughal Empire and increasing enroachment onto the subcontinent by other nationalities. The Maharaja orders that no colonization will occur anymore in India and asks for any nation without Indian territories to help him enforce that. Only Gondwana and Bidar refuse to join the union. '''


 *  I assume we'll sort of in-game consider this movement to have been slowly building steam over the course of several decades. Of course, a better name might be Bharat, as it is closer to the name in most Indian languages (plus Persia controls most of the Indus river) 


 * The Vietnamese expand their New Vietnam colony by 76*50 sq km. The Vietnamese agree to set aside the unoccupied territory in Urbonas Island, the northernmost of the Naujų Pradžia Islands (the OTL Phillipines) for aditional lving space. The New Lithuanians do not mind, as they have plenty more of Žalias (OTL Borneo) to expand into. The Taiwanese waste no time in expanding into their new territory, and the New Lithuanians restart expansion into Žalias.
 * Naples confirms neutrality in the war between Russia and Poland. Meanwhile, the colony in India, an offical name of Tamilia is given to the colony as it comes further under Neapolitan control. The offer to Sweden is dropped, as more Neapolitans arrive. Meanwhile, the colony of Ricasolia expands by 3050 square kilometers.
 * Hungary offers to buy the area around the OTL Palk Strait for the value that the value that the Vietnamese set as the initial price.
 * Naples offers to sell that area for an equal amount of Area from the inland part of the Hungarian colony
 * Impossible.almost all of the inland territory was given to France in trade for Armenian Cilicia.
 * After intense and heated negotiations, Ethiopia, plus its vassal Nubia and a newly created nation in the Islamic North coast of the country, Soudan, are recreated into the Union of African Allies (the UAA as it would later be called in the 20th Century). A senate, (depsite Mengistu's wishes) is created though for now it can only vote in certain matters that are tax related, or domestic (but not military) related issues. On all other matters, the senate (the name is taken from Naples, as that country is starting to have a profound impact on Ethiopia) is only an advisory body. However, Mengistu is forced to accept a deal that states when he is no longer Emperor, the Senate will have real power.
 * In the Ethiopian Senate, there are 50 senators. 20 are from Ethiopia, and are elected there. 10 are from Nubia, and 10 are from Soudan. 4 senators from Ethiopia are chosen by Emperor Mengistu, and he also chooses 3 from Nubia, and 3 from Soudan.
 * The war continues on Úfundlandi.In August, the Congress in Szent András approves a resolution declaring independence from the Hungarian crown, and two days later, approves the written Declaration of Independence.A peace conference is held on Szent János. However, it is a failure.Greece resumes military expansion, and Hungary, in the mainland, continues to update its military.Meanwehile, more people move to the cities, and the steam engine continues to be used, and slowly, its use spreads out of Central Hungary.Ezsák-Afrika expands 3050 sq km.
 * Yemen states that french already have enough colonies, and this is the first colony Yemenese ever had. They offer France 50'000YEM, in exchange of removing claim off western Madagascar.
 * Is not France who is trying to stop your colonization of Madagascar, is Naples.
 * And Naples is not going to remove any claim from Madagascar.There are vast swathes of land all over the globe that no one has any claim to, can't the Yemenese found a colony somewhere else?
 * Couldn't they start a colony in OTL Somalia or somehere else in Africa? Southern Africa is still pretty empty.
 * Itsaygahi commissions the construction of a new city, in an attempt to increase productivity. The Ntachez become agitated that this will divert trade along the Mixxixxippi from their cities. War is declared on the Venetian successor city-states in the Bahamas. The conquest of these islands is hoped to ensure the security of Florida.
 * Finland continues to build up their military, and continue to build and improve some infrastructure. Finland also accepts Nippon's offer and gives them the Finnish colony on Chishima Islands Chain, and in return Finland asks Nippon to set up a trade post in the city of Kōchi (Kōchi Prefecture) if its okay. Finland also expands their new colony 50km inward.
 * Nippon thank Finland, and allow a Finish trade post to be set up in Kochi.
 * Nippon colonizes the Yaeyama Islands (the island parallel with Taiwan on the map) by 850 sq km. (Sorry I didn't realize that island was Hanthawaddy's :P) New buildings and a few small forts are built in the Chishima islands. The Karafuto colony is expanded by 1250 sq km, and Nippon ask Hanthawaddy if Nippon can buy Hanthawaddy's colonies in Karafuto and on that island opposite Taiwan (I think its the Yaeyama islands but not 100% on that :P)
 * China continues to donate troops to Russia while expanding its own territory. More northern Mexican tribes are taken. In November, a textile factory is constructed in Shanghai.
 * Turan continues to work on military. The middle section of Turan's left most sea outlet has been given

The Ottoman Empire has the right to make coins, raise a military, and have its own house of thoughts under Turkish rule. However, laws, foreign relations, and everything else is left up to Turkish Ministers. However, the Ottoman Empire is considered a state of it's own, even though it is a sattelite/vassal nation.
 * Brunei begins to become wary of the growing number of foreigners on Borneo's shores. To insure Brunei's survival the military is expanded and a patchwork of alliances is created with near by tribes.
 * THe war in Poland continues, nearly a stalemate, as the russians manage to reassemble and counterattack, managing to break though into estonia and east poland. Canada Expands 9000km towards the great lakes
 * Sweden counters the Russian attack in Estonia and upgrade their military. Thorlaand expands by 3050 eastwards on the southern tip.
 * Persia begins to build up and modernize the army for an invasion of Shahzrur.

''' Finally the African famine ends after 19 long years. The Akoners evict the Burgundian settlers and they subjudicate the area west of Akon and form Guinea.

 * Turan works on modernizing the military. Turan offers Hungary an alliance. Turan also leases the eastern-most tip to a new vassal state called Mesopotamia.
 * Hungary accepts
 * Yemen apologises to Naples and gifts them the western Madagaskar colony, colonised in the past years. Yemenese now launch a colonisation campaign on Somalia.
 * ​That is close enough to be a part of the main nation.
 * Naples sends a large amount of gold to Yemen as a thanks. I think the distance thing was mostly to prevent people trying to have far away parts of their nation be part of the main nation. Having it as a colony could just be part of a different system of government.
 * Ethiopia asks to buy th colony, as is willing to pay for an enormous price. The UAA is willing does not want Yemen in Somalia.
 * Finland continues to build up their military, and continue to build and improve some infrastructure. Finland also, with Nippon's permission, sets up a trading post in the city of Kōchi. Meanwhile, Finland also expands their new colony 50km inward.

 * Nippon ask Hanthawaddy again if Nippon can buy Hanthawaddy's colonies in Karafuto and on that island opposite Taiwan. Nippon also expands her Karafuto colony by 1250 sq km. Nippon also offers China a trade deal. Daimyo Nishio Tadanao also starts to appeal to the Shogunate that Nippon should found colonies in warmer climates so Nippon has access to her own supply of sugar and tropical fruits.
 * For now, it is useless to ask Hanthawaddy for anything.Wait a week, or so before asking again, because DK only will come back by this time, or a bit later.
 * Ok, thanks for the heads up :)
 * Naples continues to build up the military, trying to produce as much weapons as it can. Unfortunately, they are unable to mass-produce the weapons, as they do not know of industrialization at all. The government has both Istoias and Ricasolia expanded by 800 square kilometers, with Istoias expanding along the southern coast to the west and Ricasolia expanding onto OTL Isla de la Juventud (which is called by the Neapolitans L'Isola della Gioventù in Italian). Meanwhile, the King's sister Maria is seeking a husband among any of the royalty of Europe.

 * The_newly_created_UAA_as_of_1756.png recently created UAA, passes a series of laws detailing the rights of all citizens of the UAA.Everyone is granted the right to freedom of religion, and freedom of speech. The right to bear arms is restricted from people in certain areas. Among the bills passed, is a law detailing the maximum size of the states will be their current size, and that any newly added territories should be made into new states. However, an exception was made for Soudan, which grew over the year due to revolutionary soldiers settling down in the underdeveloped areas of Soudan.
 * I don't want to offend you, but it is policy that you get only one post per turn
 * The Emperor announces the following: "The Most Excellent and Gracious Franco-Swedish Parliament has decided to declare war officially on Russia. We, by now, abandon the invasion of Wolof, to, taking adventage of the famine's end, create a better and more powerful army to restart it in the following years. Meanwhile, all the states of the Empire that didn't daclare war in Russia are now compelled to send military support to the invasion of Russia.

A stray torch burns down half of the city resulting in huge Swedish and Russian casualties. Thorlaand expands 3050sqkm along the coast.
 * St Petersburg isnt a wooden city like moscow, its a city of the elite...the Capital... so one tourch cant set half city on fire, but a good portion, mabe...if it starts in the outskirts...
 * RUssia continues fighting... and the russians succesfuly reputhe current generals are replaced in view of the loosing of territory in Latvia, although many people predict differnet things, will the new commanders lead russia to victory, or destroy the nation fighting against a coalition?

In other news, THe New zealand colony expands 9000km on the island.

The New Lithuanians make a deal with Brunei. They will transfer ownership of the territory in Zalias (Borneo) Island to Brunei in exchange for a significant sum of money and a trade agreement.

 * Nipponese settlers expand the Karafuto colony by 750 sq km and the city of Toyohara is founded and becomes the colonial capital of Karafuto. Nishio Tadanao also succeeds in his quest to have Nippon found a colony in a tropical region, after the Nipponese colony of Satotochi is founded around OTL Gonzaga, it is 100 sq km in size. Sugar cane plantations are founded in Nansei islands and in the new Satotochi colony; sugar beet plantations are also opened in Hokkaido and Karafuto. On top of this the unclaimed 400 sq km of the Yaeyama islands opposite Taiwan are annexed by Nippon and added into Nansei prefecture.
 * One thing, when you found a colony, you can't expand it until the next turn, and the initial size of a colony may reach up to 100 sq km only.
 * Alright, I've moved the sq kms around then to make up for that

 * Incan-Colombian Republic: Expansion continues.
 * The UAA tells Yemen that it must stop all expansion in Somalia. With Trumped up charges of Yemenese agression, the United African Allies convinces Adal to join, for protection. One reason Adal does this, is because Soudan is mostly Muslim, and Nubia is about half Muslim, so Adal feels like its religion won't is under attack. The Sultan of Adal is allowed to be the De Jure ruler of Adal, but he has no powers.
 * The Emperor of France orders Flanders and Damascus to send military support (not just aid) to the war against Russia. He builds up the french military. The Emperor asks Russia for peace in exchange for his recognition of the polish independence and the surrender of the claimed territory to Poland.
 * Do you want the UAA to join the war?
 * If you want, It would be great.
 * Ya, um, im not giving away all my baltic ports...no going to happen...that is a very soft spot for me...that, european historic russia and the pacific coast...otherwise there would be no porblem(thers also the ukraine and belarus problem...those will not go away from russia, especialy since one of the reasons the ukraininas developed differently is because they have been part of poland-lithuania from like 1300-1700...so there are less differences now...). But I might be able to negoicate an agreement if a map is posted.
 * Naples continues to build up its military, and trade increases due to the increased demand of foreign-made weapons. Istoias is expanded by 800 square kilometers, as is Ricasolia, which continues to expand on L'Isola della Gioventù.

Second: Russia post: Russian Empress Elizabeth is yet to see results form the new generals, as basicaly all they did was nothing so far. The Empress calls upon Greece to help, as a fellow christian orthodox nation(seeing as Hungary is at war, since they would have also been asked). The New generals(stability) have not made any gains so far, but they plan a great advance and a battle at tallin and the second siege of Warszawa...(somebody finalize stability...please...and answer my question about constitutional monarchy...this will dictate how the next battles go...).

 * Sweden takes St Petersburg and traps the Russian Baltic fleet. The Swedish admirals claim the best Russian ships and sink the rest of the fleet. Without a navy the Rusians are unable to prevent an attack into OTL Lithuania which takes Villanus. Thorlaand expands 3050 sqkm while Sweden's military improves. Arabia sends troops along with Flanders and Arabia requests Greece to allow their ships through Constantinople.
 * ok...uh no...the fleet thing is not going to happen...and St PEtersburg is the Capital! it takes more thatn that to fight your way from ESTONIA with your fleet(getting troops there and out...thats hard...and thats one way in, and very easy to defend...) .the Russian fleet is larger than you expect and you cant take a capital that easily from a one way in-one way out place...thats why i'm sorry but I wont let that madness happen untill the stability numbers are finalized, so i will cross that out...the PEtersburg is the most guarded and one of the most populated areas of russia, just not going to happen...yet...stop disregarding the heavy casualites in riga...and dont do any advances like this untill next year when somebody please finalize the stability!!!!

China is once again offered a trade deal after the lack of reply to the 1756 deal.

 * The United African Allies denounces Yemen's colonization of territory so close to the UAA. The four armies of the different states of the UAA are combined into one grand army and military organization and effiiciency.

The Militia law is put into place, allowing more troops to be sent to fronts. Meanwhile, Elizabeth decides to lay back from war, as she plans to negociate peace after this seven year war after the sieges of Warsaw and villnus in Warsaw.

The port of Sōya is also built on OTL Cape Sōya, and Castle Sōya is also built too. A ferry service is set up between the ports/jōkamachi of Chirion and Sōya to make transportation between Hokkaido and Karafuto easier. Nippon also thank China for expecting the trade deal, as this has given Nippon access to more rice and tea.
 * Naples expands their military, particularly the naval forces, fearful that the situation up north could spiral out of control again. They expand Istoias and Ricasolia by 1000 square kilometers.

They recognize Újfundlandi as independent after the Hungarian government does so.
 * Hungary accepts the alliance offer.
 * Turan works on its bashi-bazouk(army), with the remainder of Goverment spandind, it expands its Greenlandish colony another 40km2, the Greenlandish colony reaches a total of 100km2. Turan looks for a treaty which will stop Swedish claims in Greenland.
 * 100 square kilometers. wait. your colony only has two pixels
 * Yep! Turan spends most of its money working on the military, if it were any more than 100 square kilometres, I would feel as if I was beggining to be inplausible.
 * Incan-Colombian Republic: Expansion continues. The Army reaches 65,000 men and the Naval Defense Fleet reaches 23 warships.
 * We warned you last time, but apparently you just ignored us. The ICR was a bunch of scattered refugees, your entire population is less than 65,000. Also, you can't expand and build up your military in the same turn. 
 * France expands the colony of Haiti through the rest of the island. The Emperor offers peace to Russia but it must swear never attack Poiland again and recognise its independency. France asks an alliance to Hungary, Egypt, Turan and Vietnam. The industrialization and technological advance is promoted. The Emperor asks Nippon to have trade outposts in its territory, as Finland.
 * Nippon grants France a trading post on the island of Dejima in Nagasaki bay.
 * Persia continues to combat troops in Shahzrur. It asks Russia and Sweden for help.
 * Both Egypt and Hungary thought that the alliance already existed before, but accept anyway.
 * Sweden does not recognize Turan's claims. Sweden was granted Greenland in the North American talks with the other world powers. Sweden demands Turan seize expansion on the colony and had it over.

New Sweden expands 3050sqkm as Sweden develops its military. The Russian army is defeated at Tallinn and if Russia declares peace, Sweden will withdraw from St Petersburg, Riga and Villanus.
 * ​The Emperor of France orders the sweidhs troops to not cak St. Peterburg until a russian response to the peace offer.
 * St Petersburg was never taken...we besieged Tallin and then we were defeated.
 * The Swedish attacks are repulsed with great success. The marvelous siege of villnus proved to be a living hell for the swedes, and, not being able to flee, most of the swedish forvces caught in riga were either killed or captured. The siege of Warsaw became a great "victory" in the russian history books, but the truth is, the russians, after taking the city desperately negociated peace, and the polish accepted. if the war had dragged on one more year, the russian treasury would have been empty, the russians tried and succeded to intimidate the poles into peace that was just at the right moment to save russia. the poles actualy agree to repay reperations for claiming the throne of lithuania, and the king renounces his claim. this helps russia, but economic reform will be needed... Vietnamese flags are found on the shores of livonia just before the battle of riga., the local inhabitants start a riot after seeing this, writing "traitors" on the flags of all the polish-allied naitons(that they could find) and then burning them, as they do not like the idea of any nation supporting the polish claim to their lands. The Russian Forces manage to put them down as even some of them went out on a rage and started attacking every army. This contributed to the swedes' loss. the first rail line proposal takes place, from tagil to the mines in the Urals, Elizabeth is pleased with what she sees. a young inventor named Ivan Polzunov has a eureka, how about we make a twin-piston steam engine...he starts work emideately. Meanwile, Alaska expands 2000km, and novorossiya, 3000km. Russia declares a state of peace with Poland, but does not promise not to attack, as tensions are still high.(PS, may I remind you that the reason this started is because the polsih king "declared himself king of lithuania").
 * Impossible. The Vietnamese volunteers have already left for home. There would be no flags for the locals to find. And the foundations for the war were built when Russia took Lithuania for themselves. As far as I'm concerned the Polish king has the right to the throne! The last legitimate ruler of Lithuania was the Polish king deposed when you invaded....
 * Uh...no...when Hungary invaded and deposed the Polsih King and made another one ewits vassal! they did it before us! look in the 1580s. We had a quibble over who has what and then we decided that Hungary-Poladn, Russia-Lithuania. 
 * This is true. we had a feud over who had right to Warsaw for some years.
 * Brunei makes more alliances with the various Dayak tribes. Brunei begins to establish many new trade routes in Southeast Asia. One of the largest in the Java Sea

The Russian Empress passes a sweep of taxation and economic reforms to pay for the war, russia is still almost economicaly colapsing. Elizabeth, being a bit liberal and fond of enlightenement ideas, decides to give the Diet of finland the power to scede from confederation and nominate their own King with a 90% majority in both a public and Diet referendum. The Empress officialy scedes some powe of tr to the Senate, and once again increases its number. To improve the tax system, Elizabeth subdivides russia further into 25 governates, and increases the senator number to 110 people, 15 of witch are nominated by her Imperial highness and the rest are proportionaly devided amongst the gubernias, and must be born in that particular gubernia. Elizabeth gives the role of the russian "supreme court" to the privy council. In the reconstructions of the Baltic cities, the Russain Tsarina orders the construction of a duma building in Villnus.
 * Sweden fortifies the border with Russia. Sweden develops her military and expands New Sweden by 3050 sqkm.

''' Guinea continues expanding west. Meanwhile, in Gao, A small city-state near the borders of Borgu manages to stabilize itself, but the rest of Gao continues in civil disarray. '''
 * Turan works on military, and expands it Greenlandish colony 80km2
 * Sweden warns Turan yet again. Greenland is promised to Sweden. Hand over the colony or else war will be declared.
 * Sometimes, war isn't always the option... I can't just hand over the colony considering that Turan would be stranding thousands of Turks there... Since you have no aparent coonies on Greenland, why not just split it into quarters. You get the north and the south east, and I get southwest. You get 3/4 of the territory.
 * Seeming as though the Russians would have a certain hate for the Swedes, it would make sence that they side with turan, as they would not want a colony to simply be handed over to the "puppets of the french(as they apparently dont have true representation in governement of france-sweden)"
 * Thousands?given that your colony has something like 5 px, the most accurate would be hundreds.
 * ya, how could you get thousnad of people there...especialy since asia minor=warm and greenland =cold
 * Turkish citizens have a very positive stance towards spreading the dominions of Turan. And seeing that emigrating from Anatolia to Greenland would help, they do. When I said thousands, I meant around 3,000-5,000. Also, note that the Turkish navy is mostly skilled in transporting. Life in Anatolia by some citizens is considered quite boring... Moving to Greenland helped. Also not that 3,000 people is only is rougly 0.005% of the population...
 * even if is 3000, i bet that this is going to fall quickly when the winter comes. for the colony have success, you would have to do like, only expand on the southern edges, becuase inland, it is almost unhabitable to somebody coming from Central Europe.or Asia Minor.
 * Eh, that's how colonies flow. Eventually, I'm sure the second generation will adapt.
 * The ICR: though still small, offers an alliance to Turan and promises to spport its Ally, Russia, as long as they allow the ICR to stay free of the hated Swedes, and if war does occur, the ICR wants its old territory in the Swedish Occupied Incan Empire back.

The Satotochi Fleet is also started in order to give the colony naval protection provided by the Imperial Nipponese Navy.
 * Naples' king Benvolio III, eager for more land, declares war on Bharat, obstensibly to secure the rights of Tamil and other Dravidan-language-type speakers from the Hindi majority.

 * Finland continues to build up their military, and continue to build and improve some infrastructure. Finland also expands their new colony 50km inward. Shintō continues to spread in Finland, and more Finns convert to it and more Shintō shrines are also built. Meanwhile, Shintō also spreads to Finnish colonies and also spreads there. Nipponese language and culture continues to rise in Finland. The Finnish government promises Russia that the Orthodox churches will be left unharmed and that there will still be a few Orthodox Finns, as obviously not every Finn will switch.
 * Itsaygahi continues to grow in power. Cities grow large and rich, though the rivers they sit upon inevitably become clogged with effluence and pollution.
 * The ICR: though still small, offers an alliance to Turan and promises to spport its Ally, Russia, as long as they allow the ICR to stay free of the hated Swedes, and if war does occur, the ICR wants its old territory in the Swedish Occupied Incan Empire back. The Incas must be free, whatever it takes.

 * i forgot i posted it the first time sorry bout that. DeanSims 15:54, December 29, 2011 (UTC)
 * The New state to in the UAA to Ethiopia's south, is named 'Bale', and since the government has yet to put size restrictions on it, it explodes, nearly doubeling its (very small) territory in the year. The UAA offers trade routes and an alliance with Vietnam.
 * The Emperor of France, Robert IV wants to solve the swedish-turan problem. He says that the land already promised to Sweden is too big, then Sweden could allow Turan to have a colony in Greenland, an island with a small habitable space and not very large economical chances. But anyway the emperor is not disposed to give a colony that easy. So he offers a deal to Turan: "The colony will stay as a free state, a quarter of its annual profits will be pay to the Swedish Council in exchange for the privilege of be allowed to keep the territory. Also the Greenland state will send representatives to the french parliament to asure its behavior as not disturbing for the franco-swedish policy, and Turan will allow all the states of the Parliament (France and Sweden and the respective vassals) to have trae outposts in Greenland." If Turan accepts this terms, then the emperor will let them to colonize Greenland. Also the Emperor wants to solve his relations with both the ICR and Russia. He asks Finland for an alliance, and asks the ICR and Russia fo trade pacts. Also he asks the ICR to have a trade uotpost in their lands, promising in exchange send troops and money to support the incan expansion campaigns. Fance builds up its military. The emperor asks Russia to consider to call a new congress, as very new states surged in America since the last one (some of them are just colonies that became independent) and this one could include South America and the Caribbean Sea.The_newly_created_UAA_as_of_1762.png
 * Finland accepts France's offer of alliance.
 * ICR Diplomacy: The ICR wants more of its land from the original and second Incan Empires back, at least the Cuzco area and some land araound it, as Cuzco is sacred to the Inca People. Otherwhise the terms are fair.
 * The Neapolitans state that the tiny nation formed of scattered refugees of the old Incan Empire is of no position to demand territory.
 * The ICR states that neither are the Neopolitans, and that the ICR has two powerful allies, Russia and Turan.
 * Turan is far from powerful. Plus, in any war you are going to lose badly, because you've been posting constant expansion and your military advancement won't be counted because it was super implausible.Jhfu.png
 * The Neapolitans are insulted at the South American barbarians' words, and state that they will aid Sweden in any war against them.
 * So, if I get this right, I get to keep the colony if: a quarter of its revenues go to F-S, you are allowed to have trading post, and send representatives to the Parliament?
 * No, first we need to know how are you sending supplies there? Sweden and the other Scandinavian territories have always known about Greenland in OTL since the 900 AD but multiple colonization efforts failed due to the winters. Denmark was only able to succeed AFTER industrializing as then food and medicines could be sent via steam ships that could plough through the winter ice that cuts off Greenland for 4 months a year.
 * Yes, turks stablishing a colony in Greenland is kind implausible, but yes, you're right, those are my term, and if you accept then, as Emperor of Sweden, I'll allow you to have a colony there. About the ICR, the neapolitans are right, they are not in position for demand territory, specially when the unique french action was offer them an alliance and trade (which really would help you). But, if your demands countinue, then France and Sweden will declare war on the ICR. And, if is true that Russia and Turan are your allies, I hope the turks are wise enough to be allies of France and Russia is not so vidictive to don't realize the insult in the incan demands. To enrich the former offer, and asure that the ICR will accept it, France offers the ICR reciprocity in the right to have trade outpost in the territory of the other country.
 * ICR Diplomacy: The ICR apologizes, and asks if it can have its citizens travel freely to visit their reltives in the occupied (former) Incan Empire, and that if the ICR can have back the city of Cuzco and then alnd extending to the uclaimed prtion of South America. This is not a demand, but a polite request. The tradig posts deal is accpeted.
 * Brunei expands their holdings in Bali. Many Bruneians in the merchant class and living on the island convert to Hinduism to make trade in that area easier. This development shocks many Bruneians while intriguing others.
 * The first public transport system is made in Moscow to transport workers from the suburbs to factories. Many more cities follow in its example...Military is updated. Elizabeth decides to use the cone bullet and penza rifel to the entirety of the Russian military, so they will have the most advanced armed forces in the world...bad news falls in russia as Elizabeth gets sick with the flu in december...meanwhile, the first attempt to make a vaccination for smallpox is made in the russian academy of sciences...although this one failed to innoculate but actualy made the test subject more suceptible to the disease...back to the drawing boards! Alaska expands by 1000km along the coastline, and 3000km inland.
 * Sweden scoffs at the ICR and dimisses them as a bunch of barbarians and vagrants and one noble states that that is probably the reason the Russians are so close to the ICR. Sweden is not pleased by the deal but will accept for now. Sweden develops its military and expands Thorlaand by 3050sqkm along the coast.
 * RUssia's allied with them cause they're orthodox...or at least they said they did...but if that was just a in game thing, then just ignore this comment...

''' The Northern Fourth of the Swahili tribes doubles their size inland, covering all of modern day Kenya. Unfortunately, the fourth of the Swahili kingdoms just south falls into chaos and uncivilization, falling back to the wild. This results in the northern area becoming the independent nation of Kenya (covering approximately the same area) and the areas south of the Vietnam colony staying as the Swahili tribes '''
 * Neapolitan troops win several crushing victories over the Bharat forces in the southern areas of India. They use the native strategy, getting native soldiers recruited from Tamilia, fighting to liberate their kinsmen from the northern Indians, to be the ones to actually occupy the cities, making the people feel as if they are not being invaded by a foreign power but are joining up with their fellows. Naples demands the surrender of the southern 20% of Bharat, and they believe that the current pressures on the government of that nation by their victories will result in Bharat accepting their terms soon enough.
 * The Vietnamese expand their New Vietnam colony by 76*50 sq km. The Vietnamese make a deal with Kenya to recognize their claim to Swahili lands north of the Vietnamese colony.

 * In order to deal with the bandits plaguing the Nipponese countryside, Nipponese Empress Go-Sakuramachi orders a radical shake-up of Nippon's gun laws, with guns now only allowed to be possessed by members of the Nipponese Imperial Army or Navy.

 * On the talk page, I've been informed, that if I don't know how much do I expand, then I can just leave it like this. But thanks for informing me.

He allows the incans to travel to the occupied incan lands to visit their relatives, and ask the ICR to establish also trade posts in those lands to mantain economical contact with the motherland. But he will not give any land in Terre de Feu, where he was born. May be the chancellors of Sweden may think different about give Cuzco itself, but the emperor doesn't have any interest in ask his loyal council to give his lands, so is his decission.
 * The UAA passes a series of laws regulating trade within the nation. Bale expands southward. The Kongo Colony is offered to the nation of Kongo, if they join the UAA. Kongo rejects the offer, and proceeds with good relations to the UAA.
 * Sweden develops its military and expands Thorlaand by 3050sqkm.
 * Russia falls into grief as theri b eloved Empress Elizabeth dies. Peter III is proclaimed Empreor.

''' Disaster strikes Naples as a famine takes hold of the Southern Italian Peninsula. In response, Milan expands and annexes the surrounding neutral nations (Fuzzolia, Verona, Asli) in a series of diplomatic agreements. They change their name to the Lombard Confederation. '''


 *  Speaking of which, as Kunarian is gone forever, it should be changed to grey. He said he was quitting the wiki forever in a blog post before he was banned, he is not going to come back. Perhaps North Italian Confederation or Waldensian Italian Confederation would be more neutral (make the other member nations more likely to join up if officially Milan isn't dominating, even if in reality it is) 


 * I got my suspicions that he was faking it. However, i already changed it. Oh, and Milan annexing Milan?
 * Its former Venice (they're off centre) which is based on Milan they annexed Milan and renamed the nation.
 * No, if you read what he said, Venice is the small nation where OTL Venice is, he said Milan broke away and became independent, read what he posted, it was never called Venice, it was always just Milan being bigger
 * I'm going to change the name to "the Lombard Confederation", which is a refrence to the fact that the region's center of power is in the Italian region of Lombardy. I think the name helps to obscure the fact that the lion's share of the power rests with the Milanese. 
 * Sure thing
 * The Vietnamese expand their New Vietnam colony by 76*50 sq km. The Vietnamese, horrified by the Neapolitan famine, double the number of agricultural shipments sent to Naples. While it isn't aid persay the Neapolitans do get a massive discount on the grains shipped to Naples until the famine ends.
 * Naples suffers greatly with the famine, and is extremely greatful to the Vietnamese for their ever-constant help. Benvolio imports as much food as he can from the colonies of Ricasolia and Istoias, but Ricasolia was mostly cash crops and thus can't send that much food, and Istoias doesn't have that large a surplus. Vicia and Tunisia and Jerusalem send a little help as well, but not enough to help Naples that much (although enough to make the famine not as bad as the OTL one). Tamilia, unnaffected by famine, manages to get the South Indian peoples to revolt from Bharat, so the 20% of Bharat to the south surrenders and joins Tamilia. However, the war disrupted food production there, thus resulting in the resources there not being able to be used to aid the famine.

The Hitotsubashi House take control of the Imperial Nipponese Navy fleets north of Edo; the Shimizu House take control of the Imperial Nipponese Navy fleets south of Edo; and the Tayasu House became the Chief of the Nipponese Coastguard. Furthermore the Shogun becomes Supreme Commander of the Imperial Nipponese Army, Navy, Coastguard, and head of the Shinsengumi police force.

They also offer the Nipponese permission to operate a trading company in Luzon for the purpose of keeping the fruit/sugar trade open.
 * What about Samar Island instead? Nippon would take Samar Island instead of the Sulu Archipelago.
 * There's no chance. New Lithuania is likely allready irked at Vietnam for giving their claim to northern Luzon without telling them first. Another such deal would likely have New Lithuania declaring independance. At least we can explain the Sulu Archipelago as begin directly under Vietnam's control.

Rumors of the steam engine hit the Korean courts, and the Emperor shows his interest. They also accept all trade offers, and offer a military alliance to Nippon.
 * Sweden does not know what Korea is talking about as the Swedish had taken Oregon from Denmark.
 * Nippon accepts an alliance with Korea
 * The Vietnamese continue expanding their New Vietnam colony southward by 76*50 sq km. The Vietnamese respond that they cannot give back Taiwan, as it is a key vassal state founded to replace Nippon in the structure of the Empire. They offer to "purchase" Taiwan by giving their East African colony to the Koreans for free.
 * The Greater Korea Empire would like to request Taiwan back from Vietnam.
 * Naples sends an envoy to the Greater Korean Empire, to contact the nation, as the Neapolitans know little of the Koreans. Of particular interest is the religion of the nation. Meanwhile, Naples focuses on increasing trade by removing the export tax, allowing merchants to export more and more products to other nations. They also increase the export of resources from Tamilia. Istoias is expanded by 1500 square kilometers. Naples is fine with the Swedish deal, as the coastal areas would be much more "Swedified" now.
 * Finland continues to build up their military, and continue to build and improve some infrastructure. Finland also expands Hyvinkää 250km inward and expands Kōshi by 250km. Shintō continues to spread in Finland and Finnish colonies, and few more Finns convert to it and more Shintō shrines are also built; Nipponese language and culture continues to rise in Finland.
 * Persia begins to build a series of careful and modern irrigation systems, canals, and artificial reserviors. They hope this can help farmers avoid drought if possible. The colony of New Tehran expands by 5x4 sq. mi.
 * Brunei begins construction on a fort on the coast of Bali to protect their new territorial holdings in the north of the island. more warships are built and a trade deal is sent to Korea.
 * Noticing that the territory required will cut off the communications between Calicut and Goa, and the colony hasn't been giving profits for years, Hungary accepts the Napolitan offer, and stops settling India, although it still maintains nominal control over it.Meanwhile, both of the trips between Ierapetra-Rhodes and Heraklion-Euboea are successful, although what preoccupies the engineers is that bigger ships have to be made to avoid that the ship sinks with the weight of the engine, as this almost happeened on all of the voyages.Meanwhile, weapons start to be produced on some "factories", to compete with the Russian ones.Dél-Afrika expands 2750 sq km.
 * Sweden expands its military and starts construction on a rail network that will have steam engines powering a "train" of carriages. Tragedy strikes as the leader of the nobles dies naming a little known minor noble as a "heir." The new leader is not even Swedish but is a Saami. Little is known about his foreign policies except that he is a francophile and germanophile. The new Swedish leader sends aid to Germany. New Sweden is expanded by 8100 sqkm inland and 350 along the coast all southward.
 * Nippon expands Karafuto by 750 sq km, Kamchatka expands by 300 sq km and Satotochi expands 500 sq km along the eastern coastline of Luzon. Furthermore, Empress Go-Sakuramachi abdicates in favour of her nephew; and Emperor Go-Momozono assends to the Imperial Nipponese throne.
 * The north continues to develop, arguably faster than the south. Seeing that Anglo-Germany is suffering quite badly from famine, Itsaygahi offers to export bread and other food at reduced tariffs in the interest of stopping the famine before it gets out of hand.
 * The Emperor likes the new minor noble leader in Sweden and decides to name him Chancellor of the Swedish States. Meanwhile Rousseau sends supplies to Russia, among the Order of Saint Robert to help the infected people. The main supplies are sended to St Petersburg, where the princess Joan is, and Finland. Nouvelle France expands 3050 sq km. The war against Milan continues. The Emperor offers a tradeagreement and a military alliance to Brunei.
 * Brunei agrees to the trade deal but thinks a full military alliance will give up to much Bruneian atonomy so refuses.
 * Extreme precautions are made to ensure that plague does not spread. more to add.
 * Turan works on its military.

1771
''' The famines in Bengal and Germany become much more severe. In Bengal almost one million are dead and in Germany numbers are in the tens of thousands. Meanwhile thousands more are dying in Russia as the plague spreads across the Russian Heartland. To make matters worse a tsunami nearly wipes Okinawa off the map with 15,000 dead. '''


 * Persia continues to develop a modern irrigation system. It asks Russia to buy Russian Kazakhstan for 10 billion ruble. They propose Hungary a system of roads to connect the two countries. The colony of New Tehran expands by 10x20 square miles. The king offers the Chinese emperor's daughter a marriage, hoping to gain a successor.
 * How would a system of roads connect Hungary and Persia? They do not border each other! Also, try as I might, I can't discover where New Tehran is. Can you add it to the external territories page?
 * He said that it is located in Cayenne, but OTL Cayenne is occupied by the Vietnamese colony.
 * do you actualy think you can afford that much gold? best case scenario its one billion pounds of gold you know that right
 * I'd buy it for my whole treasury. I have political incentive (Pan-Turkism). Offer from Turan.
 * The Vietnamese continue to expand their New Vietnam colony southwards by 76*50 sq km. The Taiwanese expand their territory on Urbonas Island. The New Lithuanians, infuriated by Vietnam's handing over New Lithuanian-claimed territory to the Taiwanese, officially declare independence as the Grand Duchy of New Lithuania. The New Lithuanians officially crown Princess Kristina Jagiellon as the first independent Grand Duchess of New Lithuania. However, despite hard feelings about the territory issue, cooler heads prevail as most members of the New Lithuanian Seimas vote to continue diplomatic relations with Vietnam and Taiwan.
 * The UAA offers a large sum of money to Vietnam for its East African colony.
 * Nippon appeals for aid from its allies to help with rebuilding the destruction caused by the tsunami. The Shogun sends aid to Okinawa and rebuilds/forms the army and navy of Nansei prefecture after a lot of the soldiers died in the Tsunami and a lot of the ships were destroyed. The army and navy help rebuild Okinawa by distributing aid and helping to clear away rubble to build new buildings built with brick, concrete and stone rather than wood, so that the buildings could withstand future tsunamis better. A local native warlord in Karafuto is also defeated, and his 400 sq km of territory is annexed into Karafuto. New Lithuania is also offered a trade deal following its recent independence (would a mod RNG this or something?).
 * Yankovic can still control New Lithuania
 * The UAA limits slavery (which has been going on for centuries) to anyone who willingly becomes a slave (Of which there are quite a few, mostly poor people with too many debts who have no other option though) and a foreigner captured in battle. Because of the new rules, 40% of the UAA's slave population is freed. Many of the Upper class soon need more labor, and in attempts to get workers to work for them, the standard of living for most of the working class is raised. The Joint Yemense-UAA Somalian colony triples its tiny size eastwards towards fertile coasts.
 * Naples builds up the military of the nation, specifically the military bases on Ricasolia, which expands by 1500 square kilometers. Naples' food stocks were drained by their recent famine, but they send what little surplus they have to Germany.
 * Industrialization continues. Herczog continues to update his model of steam engine, while the armament "industry" grows.Hungary updates it's military, and Magyar Dél-Amerikabán expands 2750 sq km.Meanwhile, a expedition is sent to map the lands beyond the Hanthawaddian colony in OTL Papua New Guinea.
 * Finland continues to build up their military, and continue to build and improve some infrastructure. Finland also expands Hyvinkää 250km inward and expands Kōshi by 250km. Shintō continues to spread in Finland and Finnish colonies, and few more Finns convert to it and more Shintō shrines are also built; Nipponese language and culture continues to rise in Finland. Finland also sends aid to Japan to help with cleaning up from the disaster.
 * Sweden continues designing and planning a railway between Stockholm and Bergen. The military is upgraded and New Sweden expands by 8100sqkm inland and 1050 on the coast. Sweden and all her vassals and puppets send supplies to aid Germany with its famine and France with its campaign.
 * Nouvelle France expands 3050 sqkm. Meanwhile the campaign in lombard territory continues (please make an algorithm). The ambassador in Russia offers refuge to the Imperial Family and the princess Joan in Paris. He travels to Finland also and offers the same to its current leaders. The Emperor continues the industrialization and Rousseau continues his propaganda and emmigration campaign in Akon. The caliph offers an alliance to Persia in exchange for the right of stablish french trade outposts in the coasts of Persia. The Caliph also asks for an alliance to Yemen. He travels tothe East to preach the word of God and present himself to the eastern muslims.
 * More things are done to prevent the plague. more quarantine zones are set up and more people start willingly moving to siberia to escape the populated cities, causing the settlement plan to cut about 1-2 years of forced settlement. Moscow is home to a riot because of teh new measures put in place that greatly restrict the families of the dead movement. Catherine sends past lover Grigori orlov to take care of moscow. Moscow and saint petesburg are declared governates of their own. Local authorities react and many are jailed. The plague starts to dwindle down at the end of the year. luckily, due to extreme precautions(most like the ones in OTL), the russian royalty has sufered no losses, and the french princess has also not been harmed by this ruthless killer. Russian borders are more closed than ever yuntill the plague dies down. IN moscow alone about 25-30 thousand people die each month. but a relief comes when in november only 7 000 people die in moscow, in december, nearly only 1 000. CAtherine declares the plague in moscow over, although deaths are still occuring. special mesures are taken to make sure that this does not spread beond moscow, and the outskirts and mahor city centers effected. a full death toll is reached. it is estimated that at least 500 000 people died in this industrialized city alone.The russians thank the french for their offer, but say that it is too risky at the moment and every precaution is being made to make sure the plague does not spread to archangel, Novgorod and St Petersburg, but, if any memeber of the russian royalty and high nobility feels safer to travel to france, they may do so. A total deathcout is made at the end of the year. about 1-3 million victims have been claimed by this rapidly growing naiton. The last signs of the plague are looking to vanish soon. the trade with the colonies is strictly restrained as they do not want goods to be infected and spead around the world. This plague takes a toll on the economy, becasue of reduced trade almost exclusively restricted to the white sea(making Archangel surprisingly prosper), but most economists predict that by the end of 1774, all the damage will be gone. More factories are closed due to the workers well...dying. but mostly in moscow, the second largest industrial center in Russia, Archangel, is blooming as its population reaches half a million.
 * ICR helps expand the colony in Turan by 800km2. ICR re-offers the unification pact.
 * It's called the Greenlandish(ic) colony. Turan will consider the offer.
 * The Greater Korean Empire offers aid to Japan to help rebuild from the tsunami. Meanwhile, the interior is stabilized.
 * Turan works on its military.

​1772
''' The famines continue and so does the plague resulting in millions of death though the plague is subsiding in many areas. '''
 * The Vietnamese continue to expand their New Vietnam colony southward by 76*50 sq km. The Taiwanese continue the expansion of their Nánhǎi Prefecture on Luzon. The freshly independent country of New Lithuania continues to expand their territory on New Guinea by settling it with citizens displaced when the territory on Borneo was abandoned to Brunei. The New Lithuanians choose the newly-founded city of New Vilnius as their capital. The Grand Duchess takes residence in the newly completed Baltas Palace, named for the colour of the marble purchased from the Lombard Confederation. The New Lithuanians intend to commison Lombard stonecutters for the marble needed to build other important government buildings, including the Seimas Building and the Supreme Court. The marble's quality, exuded by New Lithuanian government officials, causes all the nobility and wealthy traders to use it to build their homes. It becomes the material of choice to build the nation's new churches and cathedrals. This new marble trade is set to make many in the Lombard Confederation very wealthy, strengthening the new nation against its enemies.
 * Once again the UAA offers money and resources to Vietnam in exchange for their East Africa colony.
 * The Okinawa clean-up operation continues with more food aid being sent to Okinawa from Honshu, and more new residential buildings being made, after all of the government and military buildings were rebuilt, but the vast majority of the clean up has been completed by now. The Nipponese colony of Kamchatka is formally renamed Kamochatoka colony, and the colony expands by 800 sq km too. Another native warlord is defeated as Karafuto expands, this year 400 sq km are added into the colony.
 * Turkish relations with Bulgaria reach a boiling point. Turan keeps working on its military.
 * Persia expands the New Tehran colony by 50x50 sq km (It now sits at what is know Belem, Brazil, hopefully this ends the controversy!). Persia asks Turan to open relationships. They continue to work on the irrigation system and expand its military to conquer Gurat in southern India. They ask Korea and Japan for an alliance.
 * I am afraid Gurat no longer exists.
 * Nippon agree to an alliance with Persia and also ask for a trade deal with Persia too.
 * Naples sends warnings to Turan that they will not tolerate further Islamic expansion into the European continent. They expand their military presence in the Mediterranean sea.

 * Industrialization continues.A new version of the ship used on the early voyage experiments on Crete, built in Trebizond, manages to do another successful voyage, this time from Trebizond to Constantinople.The experiments continue, with the objective of making a ship that can travel from Albania to Achinet successfully.this objectve is dismissed by some as unrealistic, as the most distant voyage that the model ever performed only would be sufficient to travel from Crete to Tunis, according to the distance measures.In Hungary, the armament industry grows, and Neos Preveza expands 2750 sq km. Newfoundland continues expanding to connect the central part of the country with the OTL Smallwood Reservoir cities.
 * Finland continues to build up their military, and continue to build and improve some infrastructure. Finland also expands Hyvinkää 250km inward and expands Kōshi by 250km. Shintō continues to spread in Finland and Finnish colonies, and few more Finns convert to it and more Shintō shrines are also built; Nipponese language and culture continues to rise in Finland. Finland continues to send aid to Nippon to help.
 * Nippon thank Finland for all their help in dealing with the Okinawa Tsunami clean-up
 * Another wave of Hindu conversions occurs in Brunei this time several nobles are converted. In other news a Brunei colony is set up on the island of Bangka as a waypoint between the markets in Java and Bali and Brunei proper.
 * ICR continues to industrialise.
 * According to the Industrialization map, your nation ain't set to industrialize until the 20th century
 * Itsaygahi commissions construction of five more cities to increase the economic productivity of the nation. The army is modernised and re-equipped. To increase the economic security of the nation, a charter for a colony in Africa is written to create a steady source of slaves.
 * China gives aid to Hanthawaddy in the wake of the famine in Bengal. In August, a tribe of natives attacks the Mexican colony. This begins the Era of Tears, an era in which all Native North American Tribes must pledge alleigance to China or be destroyed. Several tribes along the Gulf Coast join China out of fear. In November, a particlarly vicious tribe is wiped out completely, the warriors, women, children, and elders are killed. There is much rejoicing.
 * The last reminants of te plague disaperar from moscow, although it is still present in some parts, although teh death toll per month is waninng considerably, from a record 40 000 dead peaking in june 1771, the death toll has gone down, althouhg in june, due to people feeling more relaxed, the death toll goes up to 5000 again, but this time it stays away from the central russia zone, and focuses more on the chrimea region and ukraine. In october, with only 50 deaths of the plague are reported(from last month's 350) Catherine declares the epidemic officialy over and decrees that trade can resume as normal, november-10 deaths only, in december, none. The past epidemic has made research of medicine a hot topic in moscow, although it was a speedbump in industrialization in some areas, it was a speedboost in others, where people flee and sped up the colonization of siberia. Canada expands 9000 km due to the extreme influx of visitors along the gaspe.

1773
''' A minor famine hits Sweden during the year whilst the one the Germany subsides. Trouble brewing as discontent with the Brandenburgs causes minor uprisings in Southern Germany. The famine in Bengal continues an nearly 9 million people have died. The Indians are unhappy with the Hanthawaddian monarchy for their inactivity and unrest breaks out in several cities... The Russian plague disappears... '''


 * You would think they would protest against Persia and/or China instead, as those two nations both have a greater cultural difference than the Hanthawaddians, as Detectivekenny stated he was taking areas that were close culturally the older areas of the Empire and he put in a bunch of stuff about cultural assimilation, which RandomWriterGuy and China didn't. (and the colonies, although Neapolitan Tamilia was made from micronationalist southern Indians joining them over the northern Indians) 
 * In fact, now that I think about it, targetting just one player for the revolts is sort of unfair, especially because he wasn't breaking any rules. I'll change it to simply all foreign nations with Indian territory
 * NO! The famine was ONLY in Bengal which is Hanthawaddian controlled.
 * And, remember that in OTL, the famine was caused mainly by policy failures combined with weather conditions.Maybe Hanthawaddy made similar failures to cause the famine.


 * The Vietnamese continue expanding their New Vietnam colony southward by 76*50 sq km. The New Lithuanians continue to expand their territory on the north coast of New Guinea. The Taiwanese continue to expand their Nansei Prefecture on Luzon. The Vietnamese anknowlege Lombardy's right to their territory, as they have not shown the war-like and xenophobic qualities of their Venetian forebears. They condemn any nation seeking to make war against them, as the expansion of Lombardy has been more peacefull than the Venetians.
 * Concerned about the unrest in its Indian provinces, Persia allows them to have semi-autonomous governments. They also prepare to invade the last independent Indian states. New Tehran expands by 75x50 sq km.
 * Do you want to make a map, so that the borders of the semi-autonomous states can be depicted?
 * Naples is worried by the potential unrest in Tamilia. Knowing racism and fears of the northern Indians was the primary factor in their loyalty, they build up the military of Tamilia, sending messages of defense from the northern nation of Bharat, to make the people more willing to be loyal to Naples. Meanwhile, Ricasolia is expanded by 2300 square kilometers.
 * Despite political weakness, Hamsatoyo of Hanthawaddy decides to maintain full control of its Indian territory, using materials mined in Ngenkeh to fund a new program of road building, to accurately distribute resources. Hamsatoyo models his grain distribution on the idea that the purpose of government is to avert famine. Communication has been extremely scant with Toeh Ngoa Nyoing in the past decade, leading the colony to unilaterally declare independence from Hanthawaddy. Hamsatoyo states that he does not wish to start a war over "a hunk of whale blubber," and makes the decision to accept its independence. The Rajah of Toeh Ngoa Nyoing, Hkun Hpa, sets up a Declaration of Independence modeled after that of recent developments in Ujfunlandi, and calls the newfound republic Naundesa, a creole word for the region. Skilled Mon merchants, especially from Bengali ports, emigrate to Chauhhpiu, helping create a thriving trade network throughout the Indian Ocean as far as Ethiopia. The small Republic of Chauhhpiu also begins to gain economic leverage on Ngenkeh by accumulating shares in their companies.
 * Finland continues to build up their military, and continue to build and improve some infrastructure. Finland also expands Hyvinkää 250km inward and expands Kōshi by 250km. Shintō continues to spread in Finland and Finnish colonies, and few more Finns convert to it and more Shintō shrines are also built; Nipponese language and culture continues to rise in Finland.
 * A Neapolitan government official sends a message to Finland, asking for the religious statistics of the nation.
 * Finland wonders why Naples would want to know this, as Finland sees this as suspicion.
 * The Vietnamese respond by stating that the Neapolitans are likely creating a map depicting the religions of the world. The Vietnamese respond to the Neapolitans by stating that the Vietnamese are 80% East Asian, 10% Catholic, 7% Buddhist and 3% Muslim.
 * Finland has doubt about the map idea. And Finland has no data statistics of any kind either as it is impossible to ask every single person and there is too many too count. However, Finland gives that Shintō is some less than Orthodox, but Shintō is still rising, and it will be expected to surpass Orthodox by around 1800 or more. However, Finland will be sure to keep Orthodox churches unharmed and will be sure to have some Finns remain Orthodox.
 * Actualy, Russia can orgonize the census for finland, we are, after all, technicaly in the same country([extremely loose]russio-finnic confederation). Russia can be able to orgonize a full census of the people and their religions and native tongues in say 1780(or earlier if naples wishes)
 * I don't think that's what he's getting at but I must say…Why not Buddhist or Muslim? Wouldn't that make more sense based on geography and history? Those are the dominant religions of your neighbors, China, Malaysia, and Hanthawaddy after all.
 * Because earlier in the game Christian missionaries were quite successful in converting many people, and when the East Asian Church broke away from the Catholic one, it became the official religion. And what I wanted was for more of an update on what Finland was doing, it was boring every single turn reading the same exact sentance about Finns converting, and thought it would be more interesting to see how the progress was going.
 * Yemen accepts French alliance offer and continues to colonize Somalia, expanding by 800sq.km.
 * the armament "industry" continues to grow.Herczog continues to update his model of steam engine, and enters in a partnership with Matyás Apor to commercialize his engine.Meanwhile, Dél-Afrika expands 3050 sq km.
 * Sweden improves its military and buys food from France and imports from Fjordland and survives the famine. New Sweden expands 8100sqkm inland and 350sqkm along the coast all southward.
 * China does a poll similar to Vietnam. About 40% are Buddhist, 30% are East Asian Christian, 20% are Confucian, 4% are Taoist, and 3% are Roman Catholic, and 3% belong to other religions. Meanwhile, rebellions in India are swiftly put down. Leaders of the rebellions in China are quickly captured and shot in Beijing. The Emperor makes it clear that the Indian possessions are, and will remain, part of mainland China. Meanwhile, industrialisation continues to pick up in urban areas.
 * Nippon begins a "Nipponization campaign" in her Satotochi colony, where colonists try to get native tribes on Luzon island to convert to Shinto and join Nipponese society by having their territories join into Satotochi colony. This is fairly successful, and causes Satotochi to expand by 800 sq km. Karafuto expands by 750 sq km too. In Kamochatoka, a new city is founded on the southern tip of the peninsula called Kamochin, which is designated as the new colonial capital of Kamochatoka. Also the tsunami clean-up in Okinawa is finished, and Nippon thanks Finland and the Greater Korean Empire for the aid they sent to help clean-up Okinawa.
 * Finland says 'your welcome' and vows to help, aid, and protect Nippon at any time, in any situation.
 * Russia apologizes for not being able to help with Okinawa because of needing to deal with a plague at home...
 * No worries Russia, Nippon understands. Nippon also apologize to all of the nations which had been affected by plagues and famines for not helping, but we had our own problems.
 * The Greater Korean Empire continues to modernize their military, as well as their civilian and government infrastructure. They also continue sending aid to Nippon to help with the tsunami.
 * The Settlement of Siberia continues, with many people wanting ot move to Sahalin. the first russian settlement on the island is named sahalinsk(please correct me if i'm wrong but i think that the distance is small enoug for Sahalin not be considered a colony). Meanwhile, a man named Emilian Pugaches surges inear orenburg and starts up a little rebellion, claiming to be the late husband of Catherine-Peter III. This cossack's revolt gains lots of support umongst the poorer people and Holops(indentured workers). He takes penza in late decmeber, and begins to march on kazan. meanwhile, preperations for the wedding of Paul and Princess Jean of France continue(if france wants this to continue, their princess must convert to orthodoxy, its the russian law...sorry).
 * The colony in Bangka is expanded and many Bruneian Hindus immigrate to the area. The Bruneian military grows after a propaganda program is implemented. Brunei begins to send secret support to anti-colonial movements in India.

1774

 *  The unrest in Bengal subsides but minor uprisings against the Brandenburgs continue especially in Munich. The Swedish famine finishes win a few thousand deaths. Whilst the Bengali famine results in 11 million dying as it reaches its end.Meanwhile, the state formed on the territory of Gao expands. 
 * The Vietnamese continue to expand their New Vietnam colony southward by 76*50 sq km. The sucessor to the first Taiwanese leader, who lead the country like a virtual dictator like his predecessor, is deposed and executed in a coup mounted by the supporters of a truly democratic Taiwanese government. The first democratically elected Premier is a former Taipei University professor named Bo Hao. Premier Hao is sworn in as Premier on the steps of the Federal Mansion in Taipei.
 * Persia continues to build up their army for an invasion of the last independent Indian states. New Tehran is expanded by 75x50 sq mi. Persia asks Russia for industrial tecnologies for modernizing its economy. They also ask an alliance from the ACC.
 * Zagoria is taking a perhaps permanent break, save for perhaps an occasional post now and then he said. The AGC isn't going to be able to respond.
 * Naples continues to send massive quantities of aid to the Anglo-German Commonwealth in order to maintain that nation's existence, for they fear if it breaks apart the Hussites and Waldensians may break out of the Swiss and Czech minorities and dominate Germany. Meanwhile, Naples continues to ship slaves to Ricasolia, expanding the colony by 3000 square kilometers.
 * Finland continues to build up their military, and continue to build and improve some infrastructure. Finland also expands Hyvinkää 250km inward and expands Kōshi by 250km. A Finnish artist decides to paint a black/dark brown hair, dark red eyes, red and white dress, red bow tied to her hair, and has a . That painting becomes popular in Finland, and many Finns enjoyed it.
 * Sweden sends aid to Germany as instability may cause unrest in Denmark or Flanders. Sweden upgrades its military and expands New Sweden by 3050sqkm right along the coast.
 * China expands their Mexican holdings along Baja northwards 3800 sq km.
 * Nippon expands her Karafuto colony by by 800 sq km as another warlord in Karafuto is defeated, and his territory is annexed. The Nipponese military is amped up too, and Nippon also asks Russia not to colonize Karafuto/Sakhalin island.
 * mabe we can cut out a north/south deal?
 * Nippon wants all of Karafuto since it used to be part of the Nipponese home islands until 1629 when the nation fell into disarray. Nippon are simply trying to rebuild their nation to the glory days before 1629.
 * People in the more egalitarian cities of the Gulf Coast cities begin to consider philosophy and it is here that true democratic ideas begin to emerge. A few call for a drastic reform to the Union Body's government that introduces a universal vote for all above 21. Most simply call for an abolition of the stranglehold that the military holds on government.
 * Brunei expands its Bangka colony and its land forces. The Bruneian military begins to expand the nation south into central Borneo assimilating native tribes along the way forcing them to convert to Hinduism or Islam most choose Hinduism as it is similar to their tribal religions.
 * Pugachev's little revolt gets put down after he captures kazan and catherine, in fear of pugachev, catherine even orders a ship in the ports of st petersburg to take her to france at a moments notice. but however, her best general, Suvorov manages to capture him in a manner aking to OTL. this revolt prompts catheine to officialy ban the ownersip of holops/slaves, and start enforcing it. Novorossiya expands 9000km.

1775
''' Rioting in several major Southern AGC cities begin as communication is lost with the royal familiy in Portsmouth. This is due to a flu epidemic sweeping across England. Officals in Northern Germany manage to contain the flu strain as it has arrived in some ships.The state formed on the territory of Gao expands.Meanwhile, a state, known as Argungu, forms in former Hausa territory. '''
 * Naples continues to send as much aid as they can to the AGC, and asks all nations they are allied with to do so as well. Meanwhile, Naples' colony of Ricasolia expands by 3000 square kilometers. Ricasolia now is 80% slave, 20% free. The slaves are primarily Miscuglios, a race made from a mixture of European, African, Arab, and Native. The free citizens are Catholic, but the slaves worship the religion of Jabran, a religion made from combining Islamic, Christian, Native Religions, and African religions.
 * The Vietnamese continue expanding their New Vietnam colony southwards by 76*50 sq km. The Vietnamese have finished their last colonial expansion for the forseeable future. The Vietnamese and their Taiwanese vassals start expanding their military in preparation for a future war with a as of yet unspecified nation.
 * Finland continues to build up their military, and continue to build and improve some infrastructure. Finland also expands Hyvinkää 250km inward and expands Kōshi by 250km. Finland tries industrialisation, but it fails massively, as the Finns don't know what to do, so its abandoned. Meanwhile, the same artist gets an idea and draws the black/dark brown hair, dark red eyes, red and white dress, red bow tied, gohei-wielding lady fighting off against a metal witch (which is supposed to be represent industrialisation). That painting also becomes popular, and the Finnish government sees it and decides to adopt the gohei-wielding lady as a national personification of Finland, in which the Finnish artist is honoured.
 * New Tehran is expanded by 50x50 sq. mi. Persia continues to build and modernize its army to invade the remaining Persian states. The Persian fleet contacts Brunei, and asks them for an alliance and trade agreemnets. They also contact Finland, and also ask them for an alliance and trade agreements.
 * Hungary sends aid to Brandenburg, to avoid unrest in areas close to the Brandenburgian border.Industrialization continues, and slowly, Herczog's steam engine start to be used in the Pozsony area.Meanwhile, the steam-powered boat continues to be built in Constantinople, but no great advances are made.Meanwhile, Newfoundland continues expanding, and Namib expands 2750 sq km.
 * Sweden stops aid to the AGC as Sweden views it as a lost cause and also as the famine has ended. They instead help the Northern German authorities to contain the flu epidemic and help them stop any English ships from arriving in continental Europe to contain the epidemic. The military is expanded and New Sweden expands 9150 sqkm inland in a southern direction.
 * Nippon tells Russia that they don't want to divide Karafuto, as until 1629 it was part of the Nipponese nation, and Nippon wants control over areas with majority Nipponese ethnic groups. In exchange for Russia relinquishing all claims to Karafuto/Sakhalin Island, Nippon offers Russia an alliance (which if you are ever at war Nippon will send you military aid unless it is against another Nipponese ally then Nippon shall remain neutral and offer no help to either side), trade deal, and trading post in Niigata. Nippon expands Karafuto by 800 sq km, and expands Kamochatoka by 750 sq km as well this year.
 * The colony in west africa expands. Itsaygahi's radical philosophers split into Racialist and Classist. The Racialists believe the Africans to be inferior and wish to subordinate class divisions to an extension of control over the unfortunate slaves. The Classists regard slavery as repugnant, but are less popular amongst the political class due to their wish to level society and make it serve all.
 * China expands 3800 sq km along the Gulf Coast of Mexico. More tribes are subjugated and the warriors are shot.
