Principia Moderni III (Map Game)

​Principia Moderni, or "The Beginning of the Modern" in late Latin, was a map game beginning in the final days of the Middle Ages in Europe, and the early days of the Ming Dynasty in China - in 1400 C. E, a turbulent era; in other words, an era of change; an era in which power is cemented. The first game was perhaps the most successful map game on the wiki in terms of length, finishing without dying and plausible expansions. However, it did have its problems, and has now finished. The second game, instead of being a worthy successor to the first, was marred by over-expansionism, feuds between players, ambiguity in the rules, which often caused controversy on wars between player nations, over-competitiveness, and overall inactivity of the moderators, but was nevertheless successful in reaching the Modern Age. And thus, this third installment has been created. Welcome to Principia Moderni III!

1570
Following an Influx of French into Cahokia's sphere the exposure once again to European diseases begins spreading in Cahokia's major cities, defeating any type of primitive containment the nations may have.


 * While I understand the intended message this is trying to convey, I would like to make some suggestions to improve your long-term mod events towards my nation. Please note the following features:


 * 1) Cahokia is a confederate state of Mississippia. Its "sphere" is the boundaries of the state; if you are referring to all lands I own, you would say the Mississippian Sphere (or better yet, the Mississippian Confederation's sphere as Mississippian sphere can also refer to the cultural sphere).
 * 2) To refer to all of Mississippia as Cahokia's sphere is as inaccurate as calling the US "NYC's sphere" or the UK "London's sphere."
 * 3) Cahokia can furthermore refer simply to the city. To say Cahokia's major cities is therefore confusing as Cahokia is itself a major city, and the nearby cities would be more or less suburbs. I can assume you mean Cahokia State's major cities or even the major cities of Mississippia.
 * 4) You say "nations." We are one nation, organized into a number of Confederate States. There is not a single vassal in the Mississippian Confederation (yet, and I do not intend to have vassals in Borealia at all).
 * Please take note of all of these four points. Again, I understand what you are trying to say, but seriously please take into account all of these vital fixes for future mod events, or even reference to my nation in the future.


 * In summary, I would like to make something clear: Cahokia is a city. Cahokia State is a confederate state of the Mississippian Confederation. Cahokia cannot be used to refer to the entirety of the lands I own. As of 1570, Cahokia State is OTL Illinois, a sliver of Missouri, Indiana, Michigan, Ohio, and parts of Penn. Thanks for your understanding.  07:59, July 21, 2014 (UTC)


 * Hamburg-Mecklenburg: Hamburg forces make a counterattack into Greater Saxony, with Duke Friedrich III leading the charge into the lands owned by his mother. At the Battle of Leipzig, they face a Bavarian army. Friedrich leads from the front, just as his forefathers have done in battle. Witnesses say he cut down ninety-nine Bavarians himself before the hundredth found a weak spot in his armor. He pulled in his slayer, saying to him, "Tell my mother the deepest circle of Hell is reserved for those who betray their family". With his death with no children, the throne of Hamburg and Mecklenburg passes to his cousin, Otto, Count of Holstein. Duke Otto pulls all Hamburg forces back inside home territory to prepare for a defensive war. The Hamburgian vassal of Münster, recently fortifying the Hessian border, is brought in with 20,000 fresh troops.


 * ​Munster belongs to Hesse/Westphalia now.
 * No, it doesn't. It belongs to me. -Guy
 * No, it belongs to Westphalia. Per the Treaty of Paris.
 * I'm not part of the Treaty of Paris, it's not anyone's to give away without coming to me first, which didn't happen. -Guy
 * Portugal: Continues a notable buildup in military strength and allows for a vigorous training program on the existing military forces attempting to train them up heavily. Meanwhile, the administration continues to be reformed, and agriculture and commerce are encouraged. Meanwhile, Portugal continues to develop its navy. Meanwhile, the colony in Lenhame continues exporting wheat to Portugal. Meanwhile, trade intensifies on the African coast. The Açores continue to be settled. Meanwhile, the naus continue being used. Naval explorations directed to the west continue. Meanwhile, Santa Cruz expands north by 2500 sq km. Meanwhile, sugarcane continues to be planted in Santa Cruz. Meanwhile, pau-brasil (brazilwood) starts to be extracted in the colony. Meanwhile, the colony of São Sebastião expands 2500 sq km. Meanwhile, King Manuel dies, and is succeeded by his eldest son, Nuno, who is crowned King of Portugal and Algarves as Nuno I.
 * Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth: Explorers continue to be sent to Borealia and Hesperia to map out the continents. Lithuanian explorer and the Nowa Wspólnota Firma continue to sail in around the Imperial Isles and land at several trading ports. They have planned new navigation routes to further explore the Hesperian coast, then go through the Southern Passage into the Pacific Ocean. The shipyards and dry docks in Gdansk continue to build galleons and frigates for the Imperial Commonwealth Navy, with at least one 64 cannon galleon and two 32 gun frigates constructed so far. To increase the production of the new combat vessels more shipyards have been expanded to allow the construction of more ships simultaneously. More recruits join the Imperial Commonwealth Navy. Due to the current conflict in Central Europe dying down, our army is back in its normal pre-war stance with 20,000 troops and 45,000 militiamen. However, the reserves has vastly increased to 220,000 due to the amount of volunteers. Farming output continues to increase as merchants purchase agricultural products from our abundant supplies. Our political interests begin to seek outside of our borders and start exerting influence on our neighbor of Hungary (13 turns). The General Sejm and the ambassadors of our subordinate vassal Slovakia begin talks of merging into the Commonwealth. Military development continues with our navy continuing to grow.
 * Pskov sends a request for permanent diplomatic relations with Poland-Lithuania, and offers their ambassador a nice residence in the Ambassadorial village, right outside the inner sanctum of the Kremlin, and therefore close to the Veche, and the official residence of the Knyaz
 * Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth Diplomacy: We accept.
 * Zapoteca: The captured aztec territory is finally fully annexed. The Spanish aid is greatly appreciated. The Emperor continues financing Spanish settlers to come to the kingdom and marry into the population. Trade increases and continues with the Spanish. The Emperor expands roadways connecting cities in the alliance to help merchants and soldiers move freer between them. The military, which had been outdated for many years, continues to be upgraded. The economy booms with trade as a result of the roads. Naval technology is rapidly advanced under the Spanish with an advancing fleet of 25 light and medium ships purchased from Spain. The Emperor orders more to be manufactured to bring in goods from the sea. Itzapam continues prospering under Zapotecan rule, improving their military. Zapoteca expands 50 px north with the help of Spanish explorers.
 * Copy pasta I was asked by Cour. -Feud
 * Hispania: The Spanish populace reaches about 14 million and growing thanks to in large part of the inplementation of learned Incan farming methods, and the incorporation of some of the new american staple crops into Spanish diet. The economy, thanks to the aggressive colonialism, continues to expand immensely and the Spanish economy becomes the most powerful in Europe passing the French economy by leaps and bounds with the massive influx of gold, silver and jewels contributing heavily. The armed forces continue their push to remain the most modern and begins to build a host of new ships to replace older ones which are sold to its vassals, trade companies and other territories of the Empire. The Parliament engages in a vote to annex Lombardy and her vassals into the Empire and continues the occupation. With the war coming to a close, Hispania and her empire transfer relics requested by the Romans to Constantinople. The Colonial authority does a well thought out census and after months of inquiries it's rumoured that across the entire empire, Excluding the larger protectorates of the Inca and Zapotec, that the Spanish colonial population is around 900,000 to one million and going up periodically. The Spanish fleet is also at a solid 500 warships as well with many being war galleons, and frigates with more upgrades being made more periodically. The Parliament passes the Colonial expansion act, looking to increase the populations of New Spain, New Granada (California) and and Cape Ferdinand exponentially over the next 50-100 years attempting to expand New Spain in the most significant amount. Parliament passes acts as well detailing how to handle inflation from the mass influx of gold, silver, jewels and other materials previously rare. This act also separates the National Treasury from the King's treasury which is done at the request of Phillip who focuses heavily on leading diplomacy with his new Italian acquisitions. Parliament as well as King Phillip make the decision that with these kinds of wars tearing apart Europe, and Hispanian ability to isolate their most major territories from Europe begins the construction of a the Pyrenees Wall and funds the beginning of the Alps wall as well. These pwalls and castles are built in passes of the Pyrenees and alps and around the wings of the mountain range essentially sealing off both Spain and Italy to major incursions and allowing for on the ball mobilization to prevent surprises. The two walls are suspected to take somewhere in the range of 10-15 years to construct. While an expected economic drain the Hispanian gold stores (not actually counted in the economy due to inflation issues) are brought out to re-invest into the economy and to furnish the systems to start up the jobs market for the wall as well as revitalize a receding Spanish economy. This immediately shows some return in investment as gold from Africa, the protectorates, replace lost stores, and trade goods become much more prevalent rather than the relatively sought after gold and silver. The Trade becomes more of a central focus for parliament rather than rare metal acquisition and the economy is shifted towards the acquisition of trade products and invests in Tobacco and other cah crups in New Spain and Cuba respectively. With this recession as well it's brought to the attention of the king and parliament that the banking system of Hispania needs to be expanded and strengthened. This brings about the Hispanian Banking Act which with the help of the trade nations under the umbrella of Hispania strengthens the Hispanian central banking system and allows for private and government banks to be created in an easier but regulated fashion and allows for lending for projects, etc. The acts show notable but minor economical improvement as lending increases and the bank is allowed to enforce the return payments of said loans. The Hispanian recession while powerful has not totally drained the empire as the diversification of the economy begins to lead to new sources of income to prevent widescale recession for the forseeable future. It is still expected to take years to get back to previous levels. In order to facilitate a bit more economic expansion and jobs, The Inca are given an offer to buy ships that we build in order for an Inca navy to be facilitated. With the acceptance of the offer Hispania begins to open a branch of the Bank of Hispania in the Inca Capital
 * ​Inca dip: Accepted, We also request to create a branch of the Hispanian bank.
 * Hispanian Dip: We agree to this.
 * Kingdom of Italy:  Italy reaches its troop amount of 30,000 with it being armed and trained by Spanish troops in tactics. The Italian army is expanded moderately with some naval ships being purchased to replace losses. However, the Invulnerable Spanish army discourages any from speaking their mind and most deal with the relatively benevolent rule of the Spanish. The population of the Kingdom of Italy reaches about 13.5 million with growth falling short due to many men being killed in the war. The Italian navy reaches nearly 200 ships and growing. The people of Italy begin to see Spain as much more benevolent than before and are more than happy with Spanish rule. However, this also may have to do with the fact that many nobles have been replaced with Spaniards or loyal Italians who helped Spanish forces in the invasion. Some Hispanicized Italians (Italians who have adopted Spanish culture) are allowed to settle in the Spanish colonies. Some smaller towns and cities in coastal Italy see the first real merging of Spanish and Italian culture. The Kingdom of Italy shows a new prominent gun maker known as Ferdinand Auditore, a man of mixed Spanish and Italian descent. The Walls of the Alps are put under construction to using labor from some of the economically depressed northern states in Italy recently annexed to Hispania in the war. The walls is partially funded by all the capable Italian states and is expected to be done within eight years due to fortifications already existing in the many mountain passes, and the relatively easy way the Italian walls could be finished in the Alps
 * Savoy: The economy, thanks to trade with Spain, expands moderately but much is spent rebuilding Savoy from the conflict. Savoy agrees to cede portions of territory to France due to the war and many people in Savoy are angered but powerless. The rulers of Savoy - realizing that inclusion into the Spanish empire is much better than being a target of it - manage to pacify the populace and begin to rebuild raising a small force of about 10,000 to handle security. The people of Savoy begin to work toward building up a trade fleet now at 120 ships.
 * Genoa: Genoa's armed forces reach about 12,000. The Genoan people more than not show welcoming attitudes toward the Spanish as they have felt relatively oppressed by the Italians. However, some Genoans remain disenfranchized with the Spanish but the reputation of invincibility of the Spanish army makes any attempt at independence a far cry from possibility. These people more than not decide to find ways to live under the Spanish empire in a more prosperous way, by establishing multiple trade companies. These companies begin to be common throughout Spanish lands as the Genoans begin to build up a trade fleet of a sizable amount now at 100 ships. 15,000 troops are sent with a decent amount being mercenaries.
 * Kingdom of Lombardy: The New King Phillip (King of Spain) is installed on the throne of Lombardy as his military leadership will be needed in the kingdom and the crown is tied with the Spanish one just as the Italian crown is. With this he begins a process towards rebuilding the economy and military of the kingdom. The military is a raised force of 25,000 with many of them being pro-Spanish Hispanicized Italians which have been rapidly spreading across Italy. The population of Lombardy is at an estimated 1.5 million and counting. The Nations economy is now in a process of integration into the Hispanian economy.
 * Modena: The nation of Modena's government is but up as the Barony of Modena and its military is improved significantly under the Spanish umbrella as they get a new slew of modern arms among other things. The economy of Modena is also expanded as the state begins to consolidate itself under Spain's trade umbrella. Its military forces are expanded to about 5000.
 * Ravenna: Ravenna now known as the Barony of Ravenna is expanded economically heavy under Spain's trade umbrella as the majority of the Italian region has come under Spain's control. The military is also expanded as the city receives arms from Spain and Italy. Its armed forces reach a size of about 6000 and the military is drilled in Spanish tactics.
 * Vatican City: Vatican City is re-instated as the Pope requested a small enclave of the Papacy for himself. Wielding considerable influence the current Pope seeing Spanish advances deems it the will of God and declares the Spanish rule in Italy is one of the biggest acts of peace and prosperity seen on the peninsula since the Roman empire itself. The Vatican State recruits a series of guards to protect themselves and begins the process of adding many things to the Papal palace and beginning to root out corruption in the churches of the City of Rome and many other places in Italy.
 * Kingdom of Morocco: The country continues the construction of various canals and cultivates trees farther inland to help increase arable farmland. The Moroccan economy continues to expand with greater trade coming from Spain and the Canaries all the way down to Capo Verde increasing the relative wealth. The Kingdom, with many canals having been completed, has vastly expanded its farmland among other things. Morocco's total population is 1.8 million with Christianity becoming dominant in the area. The Moroccan Assassins Guild forms and spreads keeping the peace and killing the corrupt as well as making Morocco much more peaceful for Spain. The Moroccan navy increases to nearly 130 ships. Morocco's economy continues to boom as the major canal projects have turned some of Morocco's harshes areas into incredibly useful farmland and for the first time in recorded history the area is covered in green farmland, trees and grasses.
 * Kongo: The Kingdom begins to work toward a trade and production economy focusing on helping provide resources for Castile's burgeoning West African trade network. The King of the Kongo converting to Christianity and being baptised begins to call for the expansion of ports to the best of the Kongolese architects' abilities. The Kingdom of the Kongo in an attempt to increase economic output and trade begins to export a large amount of raw materials to Castile and begins to push toward heavy exploitation methods. The Kongo, unable to expand any farther up the river and with sizeable amounts of territory lost to local inland tribes, abandons a large amount of territory with no intent in coming years to reclaim but maintains that the entirety of the river and its basin is under the jurisdiction and claim of the Kongo and its Hispanian monarchs.
 * Mapuche: The Mapuche people begin to see the first mixed children between Spanish and Mapuche people. The Spanish institute the Ecomienda system. However, the Spanish governor, in order to keep control of the people, orders the Spanish heads of the system to treat the natives fairly in order to prevent mass deaths from overworking and resentment. Spanish farming techniques have definitely prevented starvation as the Mapuche continue to expand toward the coast building a road to connect it all. The Spanish governor, also using the local Mapuche as scouts, is able to expand much more than the Buenos Aires colony and uses this to his advantage to secure more land to be able to turn over to Spanish settlers. The Royal Governor ramps up expansion for some of the new plantation owners setting up expanding the the territory by 2500 sq km.
 * Morelia: The former Mayan kingdom is renamed Morelia by the royal governor to reflect its new Spanish culture as thousands of settlers have settled in the major cities with the population reaching about 675,000 in total with a large amount of traders and people from across Europe reaching an insightful priest says that destroying the cities will result in long term resentment that could never be repaired and instead they should be made Spanish-Maya hybrid. The new Royal Governor seeing wisdom in this declares that the cities will not be ransacked and a moderate tribute of gold and silver is demanded by the Spanish. The 2000 troops remain in the country and begin to establish areas along the coast suitable for Spanish settlement. The military and economy of the Maya under Spain is developed and roads are upgraded to Spanish standards. The Spanish begin to sponsor settlers in Morelia to begin expanding on the continent down the coast. (2500 sq km). The Island of Cuba is cultivated for sugar as Spain begins looking for more trade income rather than just total income from gold.
 * Aztecs: Spanish  continue their Ecomienda system from the Mapuche in the south to the Aztec areas to extract gold and silver. Along with this many of the remaining Aztec people become infected decreasing population further. The economy of the Aztecs becomes entirely reliant on the Spanish Empire and the military remains non-existent with areas being occupied by Zapotec and remaining Spanish forces. However, its garrison is made up of Spanish forces who are settling the territory. Almost 50,000 Spaniards live in the Aztec nation. The royal governor is appointed and after conversation with Morelias governor decides eventually he will embark on a large expansion campaign up the Mexican area. The Aztecs expand by 2500 sq km.
 * Mission of Galicia: Set up by a few opportunistic Spaniards the Mission of New Galicia is set up in the diorganized Colorado territories using newly subjugated natives as a base for this (this is a vassal set up out of the disorganized colorado territory). Many of the Coloradans are happy for some semblance of organization and the mission is set up to expand through the well known colorado territories for trade supplies, or to come across settlements with which to trade. The Republic immediately begins to expand through the territory seeking for trade goods (50 px) This Mission (a church for the sole purpose of converting) is more or less turned into a small town with the Church at the center but with many heavily armed Spanish guarding the fort's walls and keeping the surrounding territory around.
 * Kingdom of Venezia: With the establishment of the Kingdom of Venezia following the previous war and with the loss of a large portion of the fleet the Venezian people seem to believe that much can be rebuilt through utilization of the dynamically rising Spanish empire for its own benefit. The businessmen and high level economists, bankers and multiple other fully knowledgeable individuals of Venezia remaining after the war go on a trip to Spain's vibrant trade cities and after careful negotiations many of these men take over one of Spain's newest rising trade companies, the Buenos Aires trade company, with some offices based out of the Buenos Aires colony in Hesperia. The Venezians, unable to select a king from their remaining nobles, delegate to the Queen of Spain (Castile and Aragon) who chooses a man named Antonio Lo Grato to rule as Prince of Venice in place of the Queen of Spain. A well acclaimed and respected man, he immediately enacts reforms. The Venezian economy with access to the Spanish economy begins to recover and for the first time in years due to this. The Venezians begins its long road to naval recovery and begins to use its vast knowledge to begin building ships not only for itself but acquires the blueprints to improve on Spanish ships to allow for sale back to the Queen. The Venezian military is also raised to a token force of about 10,000 due to its location but remains lightly armed and unable to project power or fight any unsupported offensives. The Prince of Venezia, Antonio, begins the drift toward Spanish culture.
 * Viceroyalty of New Spain: The Viceroyalty of new Spain is established with a massive amount of coastal territory secured begins to expand its major settlements seriously with Buenos Aires maintaining the most with nearly 45,000 people but stagnating as more people are settling the country side and establishign new towns and cities. The colony proper reaches nearly 550,000 in population seeing large amounts of Colonial immigration now from both Spain and Hispanicized Italians. The viceroy in order to expand the food supply of the large colony expands cattle ranching and agriculture in certain areas.. The Spanish inhabitants of the colonies form more militias under command of a Spanish officer which is trained only to fight off native attacks. The Colony specifically expands 50 px  The viceroyalty seems extremely happy with the colonial status and support it's received from Spain as well as the massive re-investment for the betterment of the colony giving a huge boost to the construction of a few forts and a road system. The first ships begin to arrive from Spain African colonies bringing goods and a few slaves. Ranching is taken up by men previously accustomed to this in Spain. The Colony begins to grow tobacco in the upper regions of the colony justy north of Buenos aires as a result of the diversification demanded by Spain. The money income from this for the private growers leaves nobody complaining however.
 * Cape Ferdinand: The Cape Ferdinand colony expands its population hoping to attract more settlers. The population of Cape Ferdinand reaches 65,000 colonists. The area itself begins to show up as a trade hub. Zulu Africans in the area begin being contacted with missionaries looking to speak to these people. The expansion of colonists in the area is truly more along the lines of some Zulus who have been converted and contracted by the local colonists. This has led to Many of them being recruited as colonial troops for their very warlike tendencies and well recognized attribute of following strong and powerful leaders of which the CMA sends only these to command the zulu troops.
 * New Granada: The  colony of New Granada formerly San Francisco sees more immigration but has become a sort of hub for Colonial adminstration fleets coming through the area to trade and explore as well as a staging point for those looking to sail to the Philippines hoping to reach them via the Pacific Ocean. The colony itself expands by 25 px. The colony's population expands to around 10,000 doubling over the past few years as good farmland and great access to shipping from Spanish asia helps expand the importance of the area.
 * Philippines: Spanish continue to establish majority control over the area through trade and other means. The Spanish then begin to send in a royal governor who makes plans to expand the island nation, and begins work on its economy and military to do so. Gold and silver from Spain is sent to facilitate buying materials to build up the area as the Philippines are garrisoned by mercenaries hired by Spain and nearly 300 of Spain's most well trained troops but the forces are expanded to about 5000 using locally trained soldiers or more mercenaries. The Philippines is built up as a massive trade and naval base and a fleet of Spanish ships sent from here make more trips to Central Borealia with Spain becoming the first nation to connect a trade route along the entire planet. This trip begins to gradually shift towards new Granada. The Colony itself. The Philippines begin to expand 20 px through the islands the low expansion is due to lower funding available from Spain.
 * Protectorate of Oyo:  The extraction economy of the protectorate increases and the royal governor makes quotas much less demanding allowing the people to actually live somewhat rather than be in a bond of virtual slavery. The Military forces in the area are augmented with newer weaponry and are some of the most advanced troops in the region. The Protectorate exports many cash crops, metals, and precious goods to Spain
 * Chile: The few hundred Spanish settlers who established some terraced farms and a small town expand settlements in the mountains to avoid earthquakes and other acts of God.. The area is militarily supported by the CMA located in the Inca and a force of about 1500 is used to maintain order in the area. The Chilean royal governor along with the Colonial authority begins to increase the economy of the area and is planning on a period of expansion coming up in the next few years. Chile begins its first year of expansion south heading 2500 sq km south to meet up with the Spaniards which used the Mapuche for their own expansion for Pacific ports.
 * East African Protectorates: The Territories are consolidated under the Colonial Administration Authority as the East African protectorates. These nations remain fully semi-autonomous under their own governments and do not answer to Madagasikara, but to Hispania and her Colonial Administration Authority. The Colonial Authority makes it a major directive in the area to keep these states happy and encourages the expanded trade of the local league to boost economy. The Protectorates each maintain about three-to-five separate small to moderately sized independent armed forces nearing a force of about 30,000 total between all the protectorates and are used for local peacekeeping, and promoting better relations between all the states. This military is also outfitted with older Spanish equipment and is trained in older but still effective tactics. With colonial Authority in place, and the Colonial Military Administration keeping the areas from devolving into a regional arms race between the protectorates the area is effectively administered as a singular entity under the Administration, with each state keeping its local culture, customs, and minor armed forces. The Colonial Military Administration does take extra care in keeping these forces loyal and small, having more to gain by serving with Spain rather than for nationalistic purposes.
 * Korea: Korea continues to build up its military. Meanwhile, more Taoist, Neo-Confucian and Buddhist temples are built. Taoism rises in popularity and gains more followers. Regular (read: not Imperial) Shinto gains a few more followers as well, mainly along the coastline in Southeastern Korea, particularly in Busan, Jejudo and Ulsan.
 * Sultanate of Timor: The wheat surplus continued to increase and spices were sold to the Dutch merchants. The population was booming and many mosques were built for the people to worship in. The extensive work on developing Timor's navy and military had proved beneficial after the Dutch had started providing the Marrikuwuyanga with their warships for the Marrikuwuyanga to examine and build. A great majority of Marrikuwuyangan warships were present at Timor with most of them having more than 40 cannons present. With merchants and now clergy arriving to Timor from the Mataram Sultanate, Islam started to spread among the natives. One of the member of the Supreme Council of Eight who himself had converted to Islam made sure the Emperor was not informed of the spread of the Abrahamic religion. Many ships carrying soldiers, priests and farmers arrive at South West Guinea to settle in the region. The natives of Guinea who try to oppose the Marrikuwuyanga are attacked and enslaved although those that convert to Islam are spared. At least 83% of the people had converted to Islam by now. With the Yadaist forces having finally surrendered, the Timorid marched into mainland Marrikuwuyanga where the people greeted the Timorids as heroes. The remaining members of the Supreme Council were all captured and executed, and the people were informed about the lies of Yadaism, and introduced to Islam. Our relations with the Dutch and public sentiment regarding Dutch deteriorates slightly. We start to vassalize the lower Sunda islands surrounding or near Timor (Turn One of Eight). Infra Turn and Eco Turn
 * State of Tapu: The fighting had finally ended and the people of Tapu celebrated for peace had been brought back to their lands. Islam had already been introduced to the people and it had spread like a lightning through the people for indeed, the Yadaist Gods had proved helpless whilst the Yadaist military fell to the Muslim army and many people accepted Islam. A great number of temples and idols were brought down and replaced with mosques. Eco Turn and Mil Turn
 * Marrikuwuyanga: The wheat surplus had steadily increased which had allowed the Marrikuwuyanga to increase their population. The Marrikuwuyangan economy was steadily growing after the shock it had faced when the Ayutthaya faced rebellion. The Marrikuwuyangan economy was the strongest in the region and hundreds of men from other tribal states would migrate to Marrikuwuyanga annually to live in better conditions. The Marrikuwuyanga now produced muskets in large number, although training in using spears was still provided. The development of a cannon brought a new era for the Marrikuwuyangans who had never seen such a decisive weapon. The navy is developed. A university that had been built a few years ago was utilised by people to study and learn. After extensive work on developing the living standards of the people since the time of Emperor Benelong Gulpilil, the Emperor Gulalin had successfully managed to replace almost all of Marrikuwuyangan grass huts with either mud huts (36%) or mud brick houses (64%). Despite suffering heavy losses and still not surrendering, the people revolted against the authority and broke into the Royal Palace where the 12 year old Emperor Dosuririri Gulpilil was lynched by a mob and the Supreme Council members were all captured. The Timorid forces were allowed to march to the war-time Capital and the people proclaimed allegiance to the true Emperor Yagan Gulpilil. Islam was introduced to the people, and many accepted it because the Yadaist Gods had proved helpless whilst the Yadaist army suffered heavy losses to the Muslims. We expand 100 px East Eco Turn and Mil Turn
 * Gini (Guinea): Immigrants from Timor continued to settle at South - East Guinea [10 px] and were protected from the tribes of Guinea by a small force of 100 men, equipped with spears and firearms. Indeed, not all the tribes were hostile to the Timorid immigrants and with the help of some, the people of Timor were able to learn how to grow various crops not found on Australia and were also able to learn about the history of the island, of how it had been previous enslaved by the Majapahit. With the war with the Yadaist over, the settlement at Gini continued to spread and Muslim missionaries were sent to different parts of Gini. Meanwhile, the settlement expanded by 110 px. Eco Turn and Mil Turn.
 * Mudbarra: Extensive work on developing Gurindji continued. Many men were hired as mercenaries for the assassination of various tribesmen. Meanwhile, a large military camp had been constructed for the training of many men. The people accepted Yagan Gulpilil as their true Emperor and allowed Islam to spread. Mil Turn and Eco Turn.
 * Gurindji: Extensive work on developing Gurindji continued. Plans were being made to construct a University for the people. Meanwhile, a large military camp had been constructed for the training of many men. The people accepted Yagan Gulpilil as their true Emperor and allowed Islam to spread. Mil Turn and Eco Turn.
 * Timorid - Urdustan Diplomacy: Despite the heavy losses inflicted upon the Yadaist navy, the Timor interim government (Until Yagan Gulpilil is old enough to rule) realizes that much stronger warships had to be bought to truly strengthen the navy and after many Timorid military leaders were left surprised at the size and strength of the warships that had accompanied the Urduistan merchant ships, the Timorid interim government requested the Urduistan merchants (After learning a bit of their language and about Urduistan) as to whether they would be willing to sell their warships in return for recieving exclusive trading rights and access to ports at Timor, an offer that had previously only been made to the Dutch. 
 * Timorid - Dutch Diplomacy: The Dutch are informed not to worry, as Timor is only keen on upgrading its navy and trade with Urdustan will not affect the Dutch supremacy in the region in any way. The Dutch are also reminded that they must respect the interests of Marrikuwiyanga as stated in the Treaty of Tapu and the Timorids will not stand if they are treated as a client state or are constantly threatened by the Dutch for it is in the interests of Timor to have an equal influence in East Indies and always collaborate with the Dutch for the betterment of both nations. The Timorid diplomats request the Dutch not to start a war between the Timorid by constantly threatening and using a harsh language when speaking to the Timorid diplomats
 * France: Military, navy and economy are built up. The colony continues expanding and growing by 750 sq km among both colonies The colonies continue growing as expected. The colony of Nouvelle Rouen continues to expand eastward by 750 sq km. The government decides to move on the Dutch reformists by allowing to remain on the French territory, however, putting some taxes for allowing them free passage in French land. However, the French government makes clear that their beliefs are with  Catholicism and that any attempt of violent expansion will be considered as an act of aggression and hence the Dutch-Wallon reformist may be persecuted. The colony in Kenya continues expanding by 500 sq km. Mining continues in the colony of Nouevelle Orleans in the area of OTL Cundinamarca in the search of the Aureana - a city made of gold - in the vicinity of several lakes although not finding the city lots of gold gods are found and sent to France in order to boost the economy back on its feet. Mining begins in the Pirouien mountains and the region of Equatoriale Province for gold and silver though only a few are found. The colony of Nouvelle Orleans divides in five provinces New Orleans OTL northern Colombia and Antioquia Sableville in north western Venezuela, Equatoriale in southwest Colombia and Aurienne in the central areas and Emeraldia in central eastern Colombia.
 * Kingdom of Rhineland: Military and economy are built up. Infrastructure is built up as well as navy.
 * Kingdom of Lower Burgundy: Military and economy are built up. Infrastructure is built up as well as navy.
 * Sardinia: Military and economy are built up. Infrastructure is built up as well as navy.
 * Andorra:  Military and economy are built up. Infrastructure is built up Andorra asks for an equal protection from Hispania in exchange of joint vassalage and occupation from France and Spain alike.
 * Africa:Military and economy are built up. Infrastructure is built up as well as navy.
 * French Mali: Military and economy are built up.
 * Prussia: The Prussians continue to develop their military. The Prussians continue to expand Neu Pommern.
 * Courland: The Curonians also continue developing their economy.
 * Estland: Estland also continues developing their economy.
 * Neu Pommern: About a decade since the hurricane life has mostly returned to normal in the colony. In the aftermath of the hurricane many Natives began to help the colonists, often donating food and even inviting refugees into their in-land feudal villages, where some cross-like totem poles could be observed. The less pro-European Natives that were under the Colonial Neo-Feudal System revolted, but with the help of other Natives who were promised their land and more guns such rebellions were put down. More waves of immigrants come, many fleeing persecution. A group of rather condescending and racist proper Germans decide to start a colony on OTL Grand Abaco island in the Sheiteswasser Archipelago (the Bahamas). Most Arawaks on the island are either killed or enslaves by the local German settlers, but some manage to escape and end up in the Freihafen colony. Piracy in the region is continued to be put under reign, as after the hurricane the rather poor colony couldn't afford to pay all the privateers, resulting in them raiding Prussian ships as well, but many are now payed off to at least protect shipping lanes, mostly payed in rum and oranges. We continue to expand 10 pixels on the south coast and 10 pixels inland.
 * Pskov sends a request for permanent diplomatic relations with Prussia, and offers their ambassador a nice residence in the Ambassadorial village, right outside the inner sanctum of the Kremlin, and therefore close to the Veche, and the official residence of the Knyaz
 * In Mississippia, the presence of many French trappers, notably in the state of Cahokia, leads to an outbreak of some European diseases. This causes short-term panic around Cahokia's major cities and the City of Cahokia and its suburbs. However, the medicine men manage to mitigate the massive damage that could be done by using traditional healing practices. Many of the diseases are treated using a traditional healing mold (OTL predecessor of penicillin). Even others are cured with herbal remedies, but this does not mitigate the loss of at least 300,000 people. The census is still conducted as planned, but the population is short of expectations due to the diseases. In total, there are 6,163,811 Mississippians, with the most living in Cahokia State, followed by Moundville, Etowah, Parkin, Odawa, and Santee. The thousands of missionaries who largely brought the diseases continue to move into other tribal areas, notably targeting the Sioux. The medicine men return to Mississippia (notably Cahokia) in huge numbers to heal the ill, but some remain in Sioux and Algonquin lands. Jean-Frances Desjardin oversees the importation of horses and the management of maize production nationwide. The influx of Europeans begins to slow a bit, but more and more technology continues to be brought over. The nation continues to buy firearms and horses, while using the fur trade to fuel the economy. The work on a navy continues, with canoes being built throughout the Gichigami and along the Mississippia, as well as on the off-shoot rivers. The plan to connect the Kankakee River to the Gichigami is being built, and is estimated to be completed in 1589. Anothe canal is planned, which would connect the Allegheny and Genesee Rivers, also connecting the Mississippia with the Gichigami. All of the member states of Cahokia, Moundville,Etowah, Parkin, Odawa, and Santee expand their economies, while the Odawa, Santee, and Etowah expand.
 * L'nu Dip: As two independent Borealian nations, we would like to improve relations, and propose a mutual defence pact and/or trade deal (i.e. both or either).
 * Malacca: Relations begin to deteriorate with the dutch, although ships and snaphaunces based off of their weaponry continue construction. Puwana I dies, and the young Puwana II takes the throne. works on economy

 * County of Oldenburg: The Lord of Neu Norderney fulfils his promises to the L'nu; the County gifts them three brand new whaling/fishing ships, as well as some experts to help show them the ropes. The Jade Bank opens up its newest branch in Gespeg. It is a small building with a decent stock of Gelder coins. Missionaries of the Order of Saint Theobald also enter the L'nu empire, hoping to spread Catholicism and also increase ties. Back in Europe, the economy is starting to feel the pinch of the European downturn. The banks become more averse to risky loans and investments, and some building projects grind to a halt. Many unemployed sign up for military service, and some move to Jacqueline and Theobald.
 * Prince-Bishopric of Osnabruck: Student numbers drop as the economic climate deteriorates. The drop is not enough to push the city back to depression, however.
 * L'nu Empire: The adoption of the Gelder continues. The government is extremely happy with this developement, as it can now take taxes in currency rather than in chickens, grain, furs or other goods as in the past. Some L'nu convert to Catholicism, while retaining their shamanistic religion, although others can see no difference between it and other Christian sects. Immigration and population growth continue, as Reformists and escaped slaves continue to arrive in the Empire. Cree and Attikamekw begin to settle in the Western territories of the Empire, further increasing the population. With the population now at 134,000, demand for cassina increases, making the farmer who began growing it last year increasingly wealthy. L'nu traders move west into Algonquin territories, encouraging them to centralize. The nation expands 4000 km north, while Ungava expands 1000 km inland.
 * Aksimiki: Seeing the centralization of the Santee further south, the local authorities decide to attempt something similar with the Moose Cree. They encourage them to centralize, helping by trading them firearms and metal goods. Aksimiki expands 2500 km.
 * Kanien'ka: L'nu control is still very loose due to the huge intervening distance. More chiefs are bribed and centralization is encourarged. The Kanien'ka meanwhile expand 1000 km north.
 * Novgorod: We build up our economy by trading with other Russian states. Our military continues to train troops. Also we expand 10 px north on the island. On the island of лесные участки more cities are being built. More ships are being built for trade and our navy. More land is being set up for farming. Mining is being used more to obtain coal for fuel. Whale hunting is popular sport. Whale oil is used for fueling the lanterns. The timber industry cuts down trees for fuel sources for our homes. We start to farm more land. In each of our cities we start to modernize them to be like European cities. We start tonamed increase the population of our people by asking people to make more babies. Our port cities start to become bigger with the reconstruction of our ports to fit more ships. We leave the Russian Federation due to the fact we want to be our own nation. The king moves to amend the Treaty of Moscow.

 * Tawatinsuyu: Economy improves. The Inca government begins to quash the National's attacks against the Empire. Roughly 5% of the Inca population supports the nationals, with another 60% supporting the government. The remaining 30% are neutral. Population across the empire hits 1,030,000. Chimu remains the largest city in the empire (119,000) with Qusqo coming in second (92,000), followed by Peru (24,000), Machu Picchu (20,000) and Sican (13,000). Chimu and Sican remain isolated culturally when compared with the rest of the empire. The Inca begin to push east as well. The areas taken in the push east are organized into the Willkapampa Wamani. The areas between the Wanka Wamani and Chimorsuyu are also incorporated into the empire. The soldiers sent to France are to train in the art of seafaring, as the Treaty of Chan Chan requires France to aid in the creation of the Inca Navy. The total size of the army hits 29,000. Apeac I gives birth to his first child, a daughter named Cava. The number of districts, or Wamani, in the empire is ten. They are, in decreasing order of population: Hanan Qosqo (287,000), Hurin Nazca (202,000), Hurin Qosquo (110,000),  Wanka (92,000), Hanan Nazca (80,000), Hurin Chimor (64,000), Anti Chimor (60,000), Aymara (56,000), Willkapampa (12,000), and La Paz (7000). The four quarters, or Suyu of the empire, in decreasing order of population, are: Cuzco Suyu  (397,000), Nazca Suyu (282,000), Chimor Suyu (124,000), and Aymara Suyu (67,000). Not every district falls under one of the Suyu. Following an attack on the La Paz settlement, it comes under direct control of the Inca government. The southern border expands to absorb it, making it into the La Paz district. The capital is founded as New Burgundy, to represent a large French minority in the empire, in OTL La Paz. Germans, who have been an ignored minority for years, are to be rounded up and forceably moved to a new city. The process will take roughly three years to complete. We ask to Zapotec join the Hesperian League. With the creation of the Hesperian League, the Inca economy begins to expand and ties with Vorlyclayr begin to deepen.
 * Chiribaya Wamani:  The Inca occupation of Chiribaya ends as a new capital is formed. The Capital is named Chirbaya Qosqo, (Chiribaya Central) and is located in OTL Tacna. Population of the nation hits 88,000. The Army of Chiribaya Wamani is formed, replacing the old Chiribaya War Band. Military improves. Chiribaya Qosqo is developed and the city of New Gibraltar is founded in OTL Monquegua. Population of Chiribaya Qosqo hits 12,000, while the population of New Gibraltar hits 3700.
 * Zapotec Diplomacy: The nation of Zapoteca will join the Hesperian League.
 * |onte: Continues to have a large surplus of grain and rice. Though adopting "western farming", the idea of "the tribe" is still very much so alive, as people always share the crops they have grown, or the animals they have hunted amongst the community. Due to the policy of planting tree groves, desert reclamation has started taking serious effect in some parts of |onte. This year has resulted in fifty elephants being killed. The new expansion to the elephant pen is completed. |onte's population rises to over 241,000. There is a population centre that is beginning to appear around the mouth of the Kunene, and is simply referred to as Kunene. Mon IV continues his expansion north 150 sq km (3 pixels) with the newly equipped Eheresito hu Kunene. Mon III continues combining the many narratives heard into one coherent story, called the Sahaka, and takes on the project of Mon II. Mon V brings books from |onte to !Xoonte as a gift, and a few gifts of ivory hoping to improve relations with their King, and spread |on culture. Mon V teaches the King and many surrounding people how to read and speak literary |on. Mon VI's offers the Rikisi of !Xoonte help creating its own army, by giving them old muskets and training, and sends the Eheresito hu Suida to help their Rikisiate expand northwards 450 sq km north-eastwards per turn. (mod response) Mon VI buys more of the snaphaunces to equip the new elite corps.
 * Kingdom of Croatia: Croatia focuses primarily on its economy. Trade routes are strengthened after and the salt mines around Tuzla are explored as well as the salt industry in Pag and Nin. Using irrigation from the Danube, Sava, Drava, Drina, Cetina, Una, Vrbaš, Kupa, Neretva and other rivers the fields in the kingdom are developed, used for crops such as wheat, rye and barley. With trade routes increasing and Croatia entering an era of peace and of stability, the development of new trade ships is issued. Both the Ban and the King begin supporting urbanization and the spread of free cities, much to the disagreement of the Sabor. The Brothers of the Raven continue spreading their influence in Croatia. Stone mining is furthered as well as the timber industry. The need for these resources rises as urbanization carries on. The navy, under command of the King, his Ban and the First Admiral is developed due to the purchase of Britannic ships which are inspected and introduced into the Royal War Navy of Croatia or HKRM (Hrvatska Kraljevska Ratna Mornarica). Iron ores in Dugopolje, Zenice and alas the 'mud' ore in Vojvodina and eastern Slavonia are to be exploited alongside the silver and copper ores more frequent and of better quality than the iron ores. The exploitation of iron ores in the Lika and Gorski kotar areas continues.
 * Knyazdom of Slovenia: Ulrich also supports Croat writers in Slovenia who write in the Slovenian dialect of Croatia. Furthermore the economy is primarily developed through the wood refineries and iron mines.
 * Knyazdom of Trst: The economy develops due to the trade power of Trst and the taxes rising. Property of Austrians which are unwilling to emigrate are nationalized and a reasonable amount of money is given to the Austrians who were unwilling to sell their property before leaving.
 * Pskov sends a request for permanant diplomatic relations with Croatia, and offers their ambassador a nice residence in the Ambassadorial village, right outside the inner sanctum of the Kremlin, and therefore close to the Veche, and the official residence of the Knyaz
 * The Arsenal built in Nizhegorodsk in the Pskov Republic begins to really produce ships efficiently, enough so that the owners are able to pay their debt back this year. THis amazes the Veche so much that they agree to convert the entire Nizhegorodsk shipyard into an arsenal. The Craftsmen in the Arsenal begin to take much pride in their work, and produce ships more effectively, many leaving a personal signature on each of their items to let people know what is happening. Pskov sends a request for permanent diplomatic relations with Croatia, Scandinavia, Poland-Lithuania, Prussia, Austria, Hamburg, the Tatary, and each Russian State, aswel as to Russia itself, and offers their ambassadors a nice residence in the Ambassadorial village, right outside the inner sanctum of the Kremlin, and therefore close to the Veche, and the official residence of the Knyaz. The market on the outer ring of the kremlin is thriving, bringing wealth to the countryside by way of trade with the city, as it is a large hub for craftsmen and traders around the globe. THe Pskovian Navy improves with the addition of two new Galleons and ten more frigates that are launched this year, and as the first Galleon, the PSS Sokol remains the shining flagship of the Pskovian Fleet. The Pskovian census begins this year, and it is made temproarilly illegal to change your place of residence until the end of last year, to facilitate the census taking. The Veche finaly approves of another mission to the New World, and is set to launch in 1575.
 * Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth Diplomacy: We ask for a trade agreement with Pskov to export our agricultural goods.
 * Pskov welcomes the partnership and hopes that this venture will profit all.
 * Vorlayacor: Nocturne begins making plans to realize his vision of a grand Hesperian state of Vorlayacor. He offers to build an extensive road system between the various Tapi and Tapuia villages northwest of Vorlayacor to sway them; he also begins a recruitment campaign to expand the military to 12,500 troops, 2.5% of the nation's estimated population of 500,000. The economy, fueled by the open trade agreement with Tawatinsuyu and increasing trade with Hispanian merchants, grows enough to fuel such notable expansion. Thanks to the ngillatuns, many citizens now have the desire to expand and maintain Vorlayacor as a bastion of Hesperian ways to restore balance to the world. Additionally, the University of Vorlayacor purchases multiple printing presses from Europe; the gadget quickly grows in popularity as Vorlayacoran ironworkers and woodworkers race to make their own versions.
 * The Tartary continues the rebuilding from the war, comissioning major churches and libraries to celebrate its end. Emperor Paul, still legating his powers of rule to the Kurultay, which every year becomes more representative of the trading bourgeoisie, is particularly vested in two of them in the capital, which are meant to be the largest church in Christendom and the largest library known to the Tatars. With news about the war in Scandinavia, the Tartary sends supplies to one of their greatest allies. Meanwhile, to the east, the Nivkhs are once again offered a royal marriage, while protection is extended to them, and, in the towns of the Evenki Bay, the first ships begin to be built. Five ships leave port in the East, including the Holy Mary, Mother Earth, Taiga and Emperor Paul; ten do in the West. the military and economy continue growth. The population also continues growth. Mastoravic priests continue debating polygamy, and construction of new towns and cities picks up. Everything seems to be going well in the nation.
 * The Hyrcanian Kingdom, which swore fealty after the war, and the Iranian-occupied territories are jointed together by decree of the House of Bavand and Emperor Paul, as well as approval most of the aristocracy and bourgeoisie from Hyrcania. The aristocracy of the Safavid Empire, banished by the invading troops, are not asked. The jointed territories are declared a new kingdom, christened the Empire of Parthia and granted to the Bavandid family, which are recognised as members of the House of Sasan of yore. The foundation of this new kingdom is very well recieved amongst the population, and much rejoicing occurs. The economy begins growing as the fertile grounds of Hyrcania are replenished and reconnected, while the military begins integration into the rest of the Tartary.
 * The annexed Kingdom of Khiva is reformed into the Khivan Khanate, a vassal of the Tartary with the Tatar Emperor as Khan of Khiva as well. The population, originally suspicious of the foreigners, begins to relax as they are allowed to profess their Sunnite faith (although Mastoravic priests flock into the nation) and the Persian language used by the Safavids is replaced by the local Turkic languages. Khiva rejoices from this, and soon the economy begins heavy positive growth. The military begins to be integrated into the Tatar framework, and roads are constructed connecting Khiva to its closest vassal, Bukhara.
 * .The Khanate of Bukhara also experiences major economic growth because of the vassailation of Khiva. The great amount of goods and products made in Hyrcania begin flooding the Silk Road once again, and Permic and Bukhori merchants rejoice. The Jewish communities in Bukhara and Samarkand grow quickly. The Bukhori, Pamiri, Yaghnobi and Pashto languages are promoted over Dari and Persian to differenciate the nation from the rest of Iran. Mastoravism continues growth in the nation. The economy and military are heavily developed, helping integrate Khiva into the Tatar Empire. The population heavily grows this year, as Uzbeks flock to the cities. The apple industry heavily develops.
 * The Azovan Khanate continues to expand their economy and military. The population develops quite rapidly, even though many Ukrainians live the nation this year. The economy is heavily developed, as a great force occurs. Azov has a record crop yield, and it grows heavily. The cities of Özu-Cale and Zhing-Kerman develop quite rapidly. The ports of those two cities grow extremely rapidly, as more and more exports come out of those cities. Azov truly prospers.
 * The Duchy of Chernihiv continues integration into the nation. Many Ukrainians reach into the land, in order to flee the Azovan Khanate; however, they bring Volgaic influences in language and culture into the purer Ukrainian culture of Chernihiv. Many people convert to Mastoravism, and the Ukrainian language continues to diverge from other Slavic languages. The economy grows with the record yields heavily rising in rye and potatoe farming, which means major expansion.
 * The Khanate of Bajkal expands their economy. Horse stock and mining, as well as water from Lake Bajkal and endemic species to the nation, makes the economy grow even in the relatively impovrished nation. The military expands quite rapidly, as Bajkal's organisation in military banners becomes famous in the Tatar courts and imported. This makes the military heavily increased.
 * Pskov dip: Pskov sends a request for permanent diplomatic relations with Tatary and offers their ambassadors a nice residence in the Ambassadorial village, right outside the inner sanctum of the Kremlin, and therefore close to the Veche, and the official residence of the Knyaz.
 * Tatar dip: The Tartary is only glad to accept, and offer their own lofty quarters in Qazan for the Pskovian diplomats.
 * Damascan Sultanate: Sulimen, the official Sultan of the Damascan Sultanate sends support to the Safavids, to fight them, and to Anatolia to help the rebels and convince them to join back into the sultanate. Sulimen II now at the age of 27 begins training to become a regent sultan, and takes over in Kurdistan. Sulimen takes charge of the Damascan Sultanate.. He does exceedingly well with speeding the restoration of Damascus, and promoting much migration to the great city. We cease vassalizing Makuria and Alodia. Damascus now numbers 278,000. Damascus has grown huge now, and continues to as it is now the  largest city in the Damascan Sultanate. The military is expanded. The government has not fallen as it has undergone change in leadership, a new location, and a new name, although has changed the titles, but not the heart. Antioch's population grows to 189,000. Sulimen II requests a bride to unite the Sahtarakka family with other royal families. Sulimen III is passed on command of the Imperial forces in Anatolia, and begins aiding the rebels, to fight the Imperial Roman influences. With our new lands in Persia, we begin expanding their infrastructure, in order to build a strong industry and forts and towns. Centralization begins. The people begin rallying to Islam. Arabs and Turks alike, although on somewhat neutral terms seem to be getting along. Although most of the Sultanate sees itself as an Arabic nation, the Turks begin slowly migrating to the Tartary, as a known haven for Turks. In Kurdistan, the Turks begin to slow their chaotic behavior with the leverlocked equipped Janissaries entering the newly conquered territory. As an Arab nation now begins to enter the land with good Turk relation the people seem to be more happy. With the royal family hanged, the vassal begins establish Sulimen II as its new ruler who sees over the large new land in Persia. The infrastructure expands. Centralization begins. Soldiers continue pushing into Safavid lands. With loss of land in Anatolia, the only vassals still under firm control are Diyabakir and the Karamanian Sultanate. Ankara begins slipping out of the Sultans grasp, more military troops are sent to reinforce the Turks and Arabs which reside there, and fight back any Roman-Greek influence.
 * Karamanian Sultanate (vassal of the Damascan Sultanate): Karaman finally pushes the last of the Greeks out and into Izmir and Burdur. More Arabs flock to Karaman. Military expands as a small city is beginning to form in Karaman, it is called by Kabubekr. It boasts a number of around 65,000. The vassal begins centralization and slowly begins merging into the Damascan Sultanate.
 * Diyabakir (vassal of the Damascan Sultanate): The vassal sends more support to Ankara in order for it to not slip into rebel hands. Military is expanded, and troops are sent to Ankara to kill any Greek or a few Turkic rebels which would force the state to question itself. More Turks flock to the Tartary, as more Arabs are slowly moved into Diyabakir.
 * Ankara (vassal of the Damascan Sultanate): Turks and Arab citizens are requested to show people whom have betrayed the land and are acting as spies. The infrastructure is expanded as reparations are made on devastated neighborhoods and towns. The revolts and rebellions begin to stop. Ankara's population suffers as Greeks and Christians move to Bursa and Azkridesha. Turks go to the Tartary.  Small  amounts of Arabs move into Ankara.
 * Azerbaijan (vassal of the Damascan Sultanate): The northern land is given to the Tartary, due to their good relations and acceptance and tolerance of Islam. Infrastructure expands. Centralization begins.
 * Palestine (vassal of the Damascan Sultanate): A census is taken to find the population of Jerusalem alone. Jerusalem holds a total of 203,000. And slowly falls with the fighting between the Jews, Muslims and Christians. Sultan Sulimen sends his brother, Sulimen II in with an army of 25,000 Janissaries to fortify the city, and ensure no more chaos or fighting takes place. The people feel safe, yet also principled with the forces now in the city. Infrastructure is expanded to repair the damage to the city. Sultan Sulimen, leader of the Damascan Sultanate, announces that Jerusalem will continue to be a unified city for all religions, and all are welcome to use the city for religious purposes.
 * Westphalia: King Wilhelm declares war on Hamburg, citing assisting allies (Bavaria, Scandinavia) as the casus belli! We send our armies across the Hamburger border, aiming to take back Bruchhausen and Bremen. The King designs a new flag for Westphalia. We continue vassalizing Pfalz (Turn Four of Five).
 * Mainz: We declare war on Hamburg.
 * East Cologne: We declare war on Hamburg.
 * East Trier: We declare war on Hamburg.
 * Empire of Urdustan:  فضل بچت (Bacata anugraha) Continues to rebuild his acquired lands from the Third Treaty of Delhi, building Hindu mosques and Hindu cultural centers before the Islamic ones, so as to prevent overwhelming anger by the Hindus from seemingly favoring the Muslims. However, Islamic buildings and cultural centers are also being rebuilt at this time, but with less importance. Several Urdu merchants continue to sponsor gem mines in the Mogok area of Ava, due to the high concentration of gems such as rubies, sapphires, garnets and moonstones, and the first of many mines begin to return with more successes. Cash crops continue to be grown in large amounts. With our merchants traveling to Ava, Kamarumpa and Arakan regularly, Islam continues to grow in their areas. Financial loans continue to be given to Bahmani and Jaunpur. Merchants also travel exclusively to Multan, Sind, Ladakh, and Kangra. The construction of schools and universities several years ago has led to an increase in scholars and literacy in our nation. Construction of ships based upon Castilian designs, granted to us by them, continues, in order to further our efforts to explore and trade. New crops continue to enter into several plantations, opium and cannabis. With the increasing popularity of wood-block printing, works in Urdu/Hindi are created and stored in large amounts, in order to further cement the change in Urdustan. To continue the conversion of his Sultanate to an Empire, plans for statues and gardens are drawn up, to build a sort of cult of personality around the current emperor, and affirm to the people of Urdustan that he is the leader, and he is the law. Efforts to better the military continue with a mandatory rearming of the noble levies, with the Emperor offering to pay half the costs per noble, and with any noble refusing to do so, being met with increasingly less beneficial trade interaction by other nobles and foreign merchants. The construction of monuments and the plans for a colony are halted due to the actions of the Vijaynagara rebels. The Islamitization of Urdustan continues from an increase in missionary activity.
 * Rajya of Orissa (Uṛīsā kē rājya, اڑیسہ کی بادشاہی): Kalua Deva continues to listen to his advisers and bring about several reforms to his nation that make it more Islamic friendly, one of which is new, and calls for the creation of one mosque for each Hindu temple in the name of tolerance, when in reality, his advisers have prescribed this to bring about larger Islamic influence. Training of levies by Bengali advisors continues.
 * Swargadeo of Kamarupa (Grēṭara asama kē rājya, گریٹر آسام کی بادشاہی): Now vassalized by Bengal, the Swargadeo of Ahom continues to receive extensive help in creating viable farmland. They do this by continuing a process of land reclamation in the northern part of the state, which is largely marshy and thinly populated. This process of reclamation begins by using dikes, embankments and irrigation systems. The land reclamation, having been going on for decades, is extremely successful in creating viable farmland for rice, grain and other staple crops, increasing Kamarupa's population and their yearly trade output. Training of levies by Bengali advisors continues.
 * Roman Empire: The Empire slowly begins to crawl out of the economic crisis that the war with Austria has left it in. Loans from Ragusa have helped to ease the burderns facing the economy, and Theodore III has also reformed various economic regulations to ease through business and make tax collection more efficient. This is joined with a crackdown on monetary corruption in the court, with members being caught being forced to pay a fine. The offer of the Greeks in Anatolia is once again accepted, for several reasons. One, the increase in Imperial citizens would increase the tax base that funds can be raised. Two, pilgrimages to the Monastery of St John the Apostle and the House of Mary at Ephesus would increase imperial revenue as well. The Imperial Army moves 10,000 soldiers to the lands once again, figuring that the cost of such troops can be supported locally and the Greek militias will defend the rest. Supplies are also sent to help its ally Scandinavia defeat the Hamburgian forces in Northern Germany. Despite this, the Empire needs more funds to keep up with managing its costs, and so asks for loans from its allies. The offer of the Romanians is also accepted on the basis of needing more money in the treasury. With the economical situation handled for the year, Theodore III responds to the request of the Tatary, stating that Prince Thomas would be happy to marry Princess Anna and that Princess Maria is coming of age and needs a husband. 
 * Serbia: The Serbian military begins to learn new tactics like volley fire and rotating ranks from Roman officers, and over time most of the military is now competant in the tactic. The Serbian military is now capable of raising at least 50,000 men total.
 * ​Ragusa: The republic continues to offer funds to the Romans in order to preserve Roman protection. The Ragusan trade fleet continues to sail around the world to gather new trade goods.
 * Yamasee: The growth of cotton and other isolated cash crops continues, and such crops generate valuable income for the Empire'e economy, as well as draw in more immigrants. The colony expands inland 20 pixels.
 * Roanoke: The colony continues to grow cash crops like rice, cotton, tobacco, and hemp, all of which generate a healthy profit for the colony and the Empire. As the capital of Reme expands to a population of at least 1500, new buildings and defences are constructed. Immigration to the colony is healthy due to the rich profits of the cash crops. The colony expands north and south by 10 pixels each.

 * The Consulate of Romania: Vladimir, now 43, resumes growing the economy and making the military stronger. The recent wars and land purchases have taken their toll on the national budget, Vladimir begins to implement a plan that will reduce spending significantly. Meanwhile the economy is shakily growing, as land development halts. Constanta fabrică de Tun, continues developing its cannons, a new design is tested, where a Culverini is mounted on significantly larger wheels. this allows for better mobility, but makes it more dangerous to fire the cannon. The cannons produced and developed at the factory begin to make the company quite rich and powerful. The company begins to develop a new form of cannons, the Culverini. The new guns are tested on a Sunbeci, and prove to be exceptionally accurate for naval guns, however the large Culverini are too heavy for the smaller Sunbeci. More work must be done to refine the cannons, but they are developing well. A redesigned Culverini, the Mic-Culverini is tested on a Sunbeci. The test is extremely positive as the redesigned cannons are smaller and much more portable than the full size Culverini. The Sunbeci continue to be developed, the craft is tested and exceeds expectations. The navy requests funding to pay for a fleet of 50 to be built over the next few decades, the project is rescheduled to finish in 1576 due to the war in Anatolia. Each ship will displace 200 tons, and carry 40 cannons of varying length and caliber. More disputes occur in the senate. Aside from the politicking of the capital much work is put into strengthening bonds with Transylvania, and thousands of Romanians travel to the new province.Pressure from Catholics in Transylvania begins to mount, as religious diversity leads to some conflict. Sophia, now 14, continues her education on manners of court.. Dan Dracul, now 6, begins learning of courts.

 * Romanian Somalia: Trade with India continues, and the cities of Bosaso and Qandala grow slowly. Mogadishu begins to recover from the war as the economy and infrastructure improve.
 * Kingdom of Bavaria: In 1568, Bavaria expands its economy. Due to the large amounts of land freed from Austria in the Second Franco-Austrian War, Queen Catherine sees an opportunity. Beginning in 1567, The Queen begins petitioning the lords of Württemberg/Swabia for tribute and manpower, aiming to eventually vassalize them (Turn Four of Eight (adding another three years due to the delay of the Treaty of Paris)). The population continues to rise. Queen Catherine and her council continue to allow the training of new troops. Several modern warships and trade vessels begin construction at Bremen Port. The Curia Bavaria order the Bavarian Army to be outfitted in modern uniform and to hold modern weaponry. Snapaunche rifles make their introduction in Bavaria. In diplomatic news, Bavaria maintains alliances with  Hispania, Britannia, France, The Netherlands, and Scandinavia. Bavaria has royal ties with Austria, Hamburg, Hispania, Britannia, France, The Netherlands, Scandinavia, Italy, and Venice, and a future union with Hesse and currently a dynastic union with the Palatinate. In religious news, around 76% of the country adheres to the Western Church. Most adherents live around Munchen and Landshut. In political news, the Curia Bavaria continue to implement the Bavarian Commands and Collegiate Writs into a codified, national law. In other news,  Queen Catherine continues to ban Cuthbert Suntgart from Bavaria.

To begin, the vassalization of Württemberg continues. The Acts of Domain of 1567 go into full effect, declaring Bavaria a Kingdom, and setting out new titles for the Monarch and the immediate family. Apart from news concerning governmental structure, Catherine gets the idea to further unite all of her realms. She does this by drawing up plans to synthesize all of the various German dialects in her dominion and introduce a common dialect, most likely that of her native Bavarian dialect most commonly spoken around Landshut and Munchen. In diplomatic news, Catherine ponders funding French-held Rhenish lands to recover from the recent Austrian war. The Britannic state visit is welcomed whole-heartedly. The visit, taken place during the summer, coincides with the coronation ceremony for Catherine. Catherine is crowned as the first Queen of Bavaria, to much fanfare and celebration. She promises to the Britannic King that the relations between the two countries will only ever get stronger in the coming years. Bavaria continues to wage war upon Hamburg, thanking all allies for their contribution to the war effort.

'''The Mississippian cultures begin to see a diaspora from smaller villages due to the tribes looking for self determination. Various high chiefs are elected as some of these tribes begin to go east towards the coast looking to establish their own tribal societies.'''

'''The Britannian colony in OTL Massachusets bay area expands significantly as thousands of people rush to increasingly peaceful and expansive colony starting up an increasingly successful shipbuilding industry. The results of this are from an excess of Furs coming from British canada which have unexpectedly flooded the area and cause an excess need of local trade ships to make the journey to Britannia proper to sell their wares.'''

'''The untamed Mapuche natives attempt a raid on Buenos Aires. After previous successes of raiding with late retribution from Spain they are emboldened. This raid is a complete failure as they come across the city and find veterans of the Spanish Uruguay campaign waiting for them which defeat them in a relatively quick and lopsided battle. This marks the first failed Mapuche raid against a Spanish settlement.'''
 * Portugal: Continues a notable buildup in military strength and allows for a vigorous training program on the existing military forces attempting to train them up heavily. Meanwhile, the administration continues to be reformed, and agriculture and commerce are encouraged. Meanwhile, Portugal continues to develop its navy. Meanwhile, the colony in Lenhame continues exporting wheat to Portugal. Meanwhile, trade intensifies in the African coast. The Açores continue to be settled. Meanwhile, the naus continue being used.

 * Sultanate of Timor: The wheat surplus continued to increase and spices were sold to the Dutch merchants. The population was booming and many mosques were built for the people to worship in. The extensive work on developing Timor's navy and military had proved beneficial after the Dutch had started providing the Marrikuwuyanga with their warships for the Marrikuwuyanga to examine and build. A great majority of Marrikuwuyangan warships were present at Timor with most of them having more than 40 cannons present. With merchants and now clergy arriving to Timor from the Mataram Sultanate, Islam started to spread among the natives. One of the member of the Supreme Council of Eight who himself had converted to Islam made sure the Emperor was not informed of the spread of the Abrahamic religion. Many ships carrying soldiers, priests and farmers arrive at South West Guinea to settle in the region. The natives of Guinea who try to oppose the Marrikuwuyanga are attacked and enslaved although those that convert to Islam are spared. At least 83% of the people had converted to Islam by now. With the Yadaist forces having finally surrendered, the Timorid marched into mainland Marrikuwuyanga where the people greeted the Timorids as heroes. The remaining members of the Supreme Council were all captured and executed, and the people were informed about the lies of Yadaism, and introduced to Islam. Our relations with the Dutch and public sentiment regarding Dutch deteriorates slightly. We start to vassalize the lower Sunda islands surrounding or near Timor (Turn Two of Eight). Mil Turn and Eco Turn
 * State of Tapu: The fighting had finally ended and the people of Tapu celebrated for peace had been brought back to their lands. Islam had already been introduced to the people and it had spread like lightning through the people for indeed, the Yadaist Gods had proved helpless whilst the Yadaist military fell to the Muslim army and many people accepted Islam. A great number of temples and idols were brought down and replaced with mosques. Eco Turn and Mil Turn
 * Marrikuwuyanga: The wheat surplus had steadily increased which had allowed the Marrikuwuyanga to increase their population. The Marrikuwuyangan economy was steadily growing after the shock it had faced when the Ayutthaya faced rebellion. The Marrikuwuyangan economy was the strongest in the region and hundreds of men from other tribal states would migrate to Marrikuwuyanga annually to live in better conditions. The Marrikuwuyanga now produced muskets in large number, although training in using spears was still provided. The development of a cannon brought a new era for the Marrikuwuyangans who had never seen such a decisive weapon. The navy is developed. A university that had been built a few years ago was utilised by people to study and learn. After extensive work on developing the living standards of the people since the time of Emperor Benelong Gulpilil, the Emperor had successfully managed to replace almost all of Marrikuwuyangan grass huts with either mud huts (36%) or mud brick houses (64%). Despite suffering heavy losses and still not surrendering, the people revolted against the authority and broke into the Royal Palace where the 12 year old Emperor Dosuririri Gulpilil was lynched by a mob and the Supreme Council members were all captured. The Timorid forces were allowed to march to the war-time Capital and the people proclaimed allegiance to the true Emperor Yagan Gulpilil. Islam was introduced to the people, and many accepted it because the Yadaist Gods had proved helpless whilst the Yadaist army suffered heavy losses to the Muslims. We expand 100 px East Eco Turn and Mil Turn
 * Gini (Guinea): Immigrants from Timor continued to settle at South - East Guinea [10 px] and were protected from the tribes of Guinea by a small force of 100 men, equipped with spears and firearms. Indeed, not all the tribes were hostile to the Timorid immigrants and with the help of some, the people of Timor were able to learn how to grow various crops not found on Australia and were also able to learn about the history of the island, of how it had been previous enslaved by the Majapahit. With the war with the Yadaist over, the settlement at Gini continued to spread and Muslim missionaries were sent to different parts of Gini. Meanwhile, the settlement expanded by 110 px Eco Turn and Mil Turn.
 * Mudbarra: Extensive work on developing Gurindji continued. Many men were hired as mercenaries for the assassination of various tribesmen. Meanwhile, a large military camp had been constructed for the training of many men. The people accepted Yagan Gulpilil as their true Emperor and allowed Islam to spread. Mil Turn and Eco Turn.
 * Gurindji: Extensive work on developing Gurindji continued. Plans were being made to construct a University for the people. Meanwhile, a large military camp had been constructed for the training of many men. The people accepted Yagan Gulpilil as their true Emperor and allowed Islam to spread. Mil Turn and Eco Turn.
 * Timorid - Urdustan Diplomacy: Despite the heavy losses inflicted upon the Yadaist navy, the Timor interim government (Until Yagan Gulpilil is old enough to rule) realizes that much stronger warships had to be bought to truly strengthen the navy and after many Timorid military leaders were left surprised at the size and strength of the warships that had accompanied the Urduistan merchant ships, the Timorid interim government requested the Urduistan merchants (After learning a bit of their language and about Urduistan) as to whether they would be willing to sell their warships in return for recieving exclusive trading rights and access to ports at Timor, an offer that had previously only been made to the Dutch. 
 * ​Urdustani (اردو کی زمین کی سلطنت, Urdū kī bhūmi kā sāmrājya) Diplomacy: Our merchants have offered to be the go-between in this deal, and will begin to sell warships to the Timor iterim government in exchange for access to ports.
 * Timorid - Dutch Diplomacy: The Dutch are informed not to worry, as Timor is only keen on upgrading its navy and trade with Urdustan will not affect the Dutch supremacy in the region in any way. The Dutch are also reminded that they must respect the interests of Marrikuwiyanga as stated in the Treaty of Tapu and the Timorids will not stand if they are treated as a client state or are constantly threatened by the Dutch for it is in the interests of Timor to have an equal influence in East Indies and always collaborate with the Dutch for the betterment of both nations. The Timorid diplomats request the Dutch not to start a war between the Timorid by constantly threatening and using a harsh language when speaking to the Timorid diplomats
 * Prussia: The Prussians continue to develop their military. The Prussians continue to build their navy. Prussia continues to expand Neu Pommern.
 * Courland: The Curonians also continue developing their economy.
 * Estland: Estland also continues developing their economy.
 * Neu Pommern:  Pirates and ethnicities fleeing Germanization continue to flood into Neu Pommern. The ethnicities bringing witht them their own cultures and languages, and the pirates bringing goods from across the Imperial and Eastern Borealia, as well as some of their own culture as piracy does begin to become a more accepted thing in neu Pommern culture. Pirates continue to hide out in the Scheiteswasser Archipelago, which is largley under Prussian control due to settlements and payed off pirates. Oranges, rum, hemp, and cannabis continue to be known as staple crops of the Blitz-Helbsing (Lightning Penninsua). We continue to incorporate Natives as we move inland, though smallpox begins to kill many more than we would like, luckily due to the Colonial Neo-Feudalism policy that is inorder most of the Timcua and other Natives are rather isolated, which is resulting in few disease-related deaths. A type of Creole can be noticed as being distinct from German in the inland, as fleeing non-German ethnicities end up mingling with the Natives. The population reaches roughly 8,500. We continue to expand 10 pixels on the south coast and 10 pixels inland.
 * Hispania: The Spanish populace reaches about 14 million and growing thanks to in large part of the inplementation of learned Incan farming methods, and the incorporation of some of the new american staple crops into Spanish diet. The economy, thanks to the aggressive colonialism, continues to expand immensely and the Spanish economy becomes the most powerful in Europe passing the French economy by leaps and bounds with the massive influx of gold, silver and jewels contributing heavily. The armed forces continue their push to remain the most modern and begins to build a host of new ships to replace older ones which are sold to its vassals, trade companies and other territories of the Empire. The Parliament engages in a vote to annex Lombardy and her vassals into the Empire and continues the occupation. With the war coming to a close, Hispania and her empire transfer relics requested by the Romans to Constantinople. The Spanish fleet is also at a solid 500 warships as well with many being war galleons, and frigates with more upgrades being made more periodically. The Colonial Expansion act is expanded to include New Granada which as a recent but heavily expanding colony requires the extra funding. With the expansion of the Hispanian bank to all colonies, and the Protectorate of Inca the investments begin to flow out into the empire investing in the expansion of colonial infrastructure, expansion of colonial economies, and expansion of the most profitable Colonial industries. The Empire itself begins to show healthier signs of recovery as many people are put to work in building the wall, agriculture, and other industries as well. This begins show an upward trend in employment in Spain but is also stimulated by some subsidies given to people that wish to go to colonies to set up there. The Colonial expansion act has increased the amount of settlers leaving for protectorates and colonies each year with population growth in spain being stunted due to this. The Hispanian economy however is boosted by the increases in shipbuilding for trade, expansion of cash crops for trade, the large scale developments in Spain of cities growing lawger and supporting more work, and the expansion of many jobs throughout the empire. The Empire itself however begins importing raw material from colonies to meet demands for the full scale replacement for weapons and the growing military industry in Spain. The Gold and silver influx into Spain economy has fully restabilized the Reals free fall and shortage of gold and silver for coins, and Banks however begin a small practice of printing paper notes backed by gold to test how this works within the Spanish economy. The Influx of Spices, Sugar, Raw Materials, Tobacco, other cash crops, and Bullion have greatly recovered the Spanish economy from a Free fall like their French and Scandinavian allies. The Walls built near the Pyrenees are continually built and loans are taken out to finance these in order to improve the Credit of the King and to prove the worth of Hispanias bank. More newly implemented Merchantilist policies in thanks to acts passed by Parliament impose small tariffs on colonies and protectorates in order to gain a steady but tolerable flow of cash to Spain from her overseas territories. Due to the late implementation of this its unsure how it will work in the Colonies but the Merchantilism is expected to work as Good from Spain are exported heavily to outside markets such as the colonies, protectorates, and even her European possessions. This policy however does limit and prevent colonial manufacturers from competing fully with Spanish manufacturers in some regards unless licensed by Parliament. In an act of good faith many large manufacturers in the colonies are given this immediately but further set ups of major manufactories are prevented.
 * Kingdom of Italy:  Italy reaches its troop amount of 30,000 with it being armed and trained by Spanish troops in tactics. The Italian army is expanded moderately with some naval ships being purchased to replace losses. However, the Invulnerable Spanish army discourages any from speaking their mind and most deal with the relatively benevolent rule of the Spanish. The population of the Kingdom of Italy reaches about 13.5 million with growth falling short due to many men being killed in the war. The Italian navy reaches nearly 200 ships and growing. The people of Italy begin to see Spain as much more benevolent than before and are more than happy with Spanish rule. However, this also may have to do with the fact that many nobles have been replaced with Spaniards or loyal Italians who helped Spanish forces in the invasion. Some Hispanicized Italians (Italians who have adopted Spanish culture) are allowed to settle in the Spanish colonies. Some smaller towns and cities in coastal Italy see the first real merging of Spanish and Italian culture. The Kingdom of Italy shows a new prominent gun maker known as Ferdinand Auditore, a man of mixed Spanish and Italian descent. The Walls of the Alps are put under construction to using labor from some of the economically depressed northern states in Italy recently annexed to Hispania in the war. The walls is partially funded by all the capable Italian states and is expected to be done within eight years due to fortifications already existing in the many mountain passes, and the relatively easy way the Italian walls could be finished in the Alps
 * Savoy: The economy, thanks to trade with Spain, expands moderately but much is spent rebuilding Savoy from the conflict. Savoy agrees to cede portions of territory to France due to the war and many people in Savoy are angered but powerless. The rulers of Savoy - realizing that inclusion into the Spanish empire is much better than being a target of it - manage to pacify the populace and begin to rebuild raising a small force of about 10,000 to handle security. The people of Savoy begin to work toward building up a trade fleet now at 120 ships.
 * Genoa: Genoa's armed forces reach about 12,000. These people continue to find ways to live under the Spanish empire in a more prosperous way, by establishing multiple trade companies. These companies begin to be common throughout Spanish lands as the Genoans begin to build up a trade fleet of a sizable amount now at 100 ships. 15,000 troops are sent with a decent amount being mercenaries.
 * Kingdom of Lombardy: The New King Phillip (King of Spain) is installed on the throne of Lombardy as his military leadership will be needed in the kingdom and the crown is tied with the Spanish one just as the Italian crown is. With this he begins a process towards rebuilding the economy and military of the kingdom. The military is a raised force of 25,000 with many of them being pro-Spanish Hispanicized Italians which have been rapidly spreading across Italy. The population of Lombardy is at an estimated 1.5 million and counting. The Nations economy is now in a process of integration into the Hispanian economy.
 * Modena: The nation of Modena's government is but up as the Barony of Modena and its military is improved significantly under the Spanish umbrella as they get a new slew of modern arms among other things. The economy of Modena is also expanded as the state begins to consolidate itself under Spain's trade umbrella. Its military forces are expanded to about 5000.
 * Ravenna: Ravenna now known as the Barony of Ravenna is expanded economically heavy under Spain's trade umbrella as the majority of the Italian region has come under Spain's control. The military is also expanded as the city receives arms from Spain and Italy. Its armed forces reach a size of about 6000 and the military is drilled in Spanish tactics.
 * Vatican City: Vatican City is re-instated as the Pope requested a small enclave of the Papacy for himself. Wielding considerable influence the current Pope seeing Spanish advances deems it the will of God and declares the Spanish rule in Italy is one of the biggest acts of peace and prosperity seen on the peninsula since the Roman empire itself. The Vatican State recruits a series of guards to protect themselves and begins the process of adding many things to the Papal palace and beginning to root out corruption in the churches of the City of Rome and many other places in Italy.
 * Kingdom of Morocco: The country continues the construction of various canals and cultivates trees farther inland to help increase arable farmland. The Moroccan economy continues to expand with greater trade coming from Spain and the Canaries all the way down to Capo Verde increasing the relative wealth. The Kingdom, with many canals having been completed, has vastly expanded its farmland among other things. Morocco's total population is 1.8 million with Christianity becoming dominant in the area. The Moroccan Assassins Guild forms and spreads keeping the peace and killing the corrupt as well as making Morocco much more peaceful for Spain. The Moroccan navy increases to nearly 130 ships. Morocco's economy continues to boom as the major canal projects have turned some of Morocco's harshes areas into incredibly useful farmland and for the first time in recorded history the area is covered in green farmland, trees and grasses.
 * Kongo: The Kingdom begins to work toward a trade and production economy focusing on helping provide resources for Castile's burgeoning West African trade network. The King of the Kongo converting to Christianity and being baptised begins to call for the expansion of ports to the best of the Kongolese architects' abilities. The Kingdom of the Kongo in an attempt to increase economic output and trade begins to export a large amount of raw materials to Castile and begins to push toward heavy exploitation methods. The Kongo, unable to expand any farther up the river and with sizeable amounts of territory lost to local inland tribes, abandons a large amount of territory with no intent in coming years to reclaim but maintains that the entirety of the river and its basin is under the jurisdiction and claim of the Kongo and its Hispanian monarchs.
 * Mapuche: The Mapuche people begin to see the first mixed children between Spanish and Mapuche people. The Spanish institute the Ecomienda system. However, the Spanish governor, in order to keep control of the people, orders the Spanish heads of the system to treat the natives fairly in order to prevent mass deaths from overworking and resentment. Spanish farming techniques have definitely prevented starvation as the Mapuche continue to expand toward the coast building a road to connect it all. The Spanish governor, also using the local Mapuche as scouts, is able to expand much more than the Buenos Aires colony and uses this to his advantage to secure more land to be able to turn over to Spanish settlers. The Royal Governor ramps up expansion for some of the new plantation owners setting up expanding the the territory by 2500 sq km.
 * Morelia: The former Mayan kingdom is renamed Morelia by the royal governor to reflect its new Spanish culture as thousands of settlers have settled in the major cities with the population reaching about 675,000 in total with a large amount of traders and people from across Europe reaching an insightful priest says that destroying the cities will result in long term resentment that could never be repaired and instead they should be made Spanish-Maya hybrid. The new Royal Governor seeing wisdom in this declares that the cities will not be ransacked and a moderate tribute of gold and silver is demanded by the Spanish. The 2000 troops remain in the country and begin to establish areas along the coast suitable for Spanish settlement. The military and economy of the Maya under Spain is developed and roads are upgraded to Spanish standards. The Spanish begin to sponsor settlers in Morelia to begin expanding on the continent down the coast. (2500 sq km). The Island of Cuba is cultivated for sugar as Spain begins looking for more trade income rather than just total income from gold.
 * Aztecs: Spanish  continue their Ecomienda system from the Mapuche in the south to the Aztec areas to extract gold and silver. Along with this many of the remaining Aztec people become infected decreasing population further. The economy of the Aztecs becomes entirely reliant on the Spanish Empire and the military remains non-existent with areas being occupied by Zapotec and remaining Spanish forces. However, its garrison is made up of Spanish forces who are settling the territory. Almost 50,000 Spaniards live in the Aztec nation. The royal governor is appointed and after conversation with Morelias governor decides eventually he will embark on a large expansion campaign up the Mexican area. The Aztecs expand by 2500 sq km.
 * Mission of Galicia: Set up by a few opportunistic Spaniards the Mission of New Galicia is set up in the diorganized Colorado territories using newly subjugated natives as a base for this (this is a vassal set up out of the disorganized colorado territory). Many of the Coloradans are happy for some semblance of organization and the mission is set up to expand through the well known colorado territories for trade supplies, or to come across settlements with which to trade. The Republic immediately begins to expand through the territory seeking for trade goods (50 px) This Mission (a church for the sole purpose of converting) is more or less turned into a small town with the Church at the center but with many heavily armed Spanish guarding the fort's walls and keeping the surrounding territory around.
 * Kingdom of Venezia: With the establishment of the Kingdom of Venezia following the previous war and with the loss of a large portion of the fleet the Venezian people seem to believe that much can be rebuilt through utilization of the dynamically rising Spanish empire for its own benefit. The businessmen and high level economists, bankers and multiple other fully knowledgeable individuals of Venezia remaining after the war go on a trip to Spain's vibrant trade cities and after careful negotiations many of these men take over one of Spain's newest rising trade companies, the Buenos Aires trade company, with some offices based out of the Buenos Aires colony in Hesperia. The Venezians, unable to select a king from their remaining nobles, delegate to the Queen of Spain (Castile and Aragon) who chooses a man named Antonio Lo Grato to rule as Prince of Venice in place of the Queen of Spain. A well acclaimed and respected man, he immediately enacts reforms. The Venezian economy with access to the Spanish economy begins to recover and for the first time in years due to this. The Venezians begins its long road to naval recovery and begins to use its vast knowledge to begin building ships not only for itself but acquires the blueprints to improve on Spanish ships to allow for sale back to the Queen. The Venezian military is also raised to a token force of about 10,000 due to its location but remains lightly armed and unable to project power or fight any unsupported offensives. The Prince of Venezia, Antonio, begins the drift toward Spanish culture.
 * Viceroyalty of New Spain: The Viceroyalty of new Spain is established with a massive amount of coastal territory secured begins to expand its major settlements seriously with Buenos Aires maintaining the most with nearly 45,000 people but stagnating as more people are settling the country side and establishign new towns and cities. The colony proper reaches nearly 550,000 in population seeing large amounts of Colonial immigration now from both Spain and Hispanicized Italians. The viceroy in order to expand the food supply of the large colony expands cattle ranching and agriculture in certain areas.. The Spanish inhabitants of the colonies form more militias under command of a Spanish officer which is trained only to fight off native attacks. The Colony specifically expands 50 px  The viceroyalty seems extremely happy with the colonial status and support it's received from Spain as well as the massive re-investment for the betterment of the colony giving a huge boost to the construction of a few forts and a road system. The first ships begin to arrive from Spain African colonies bringing goods and a few slaves. Ranching is taken up by men previously accustomed to this in Spain. The Colony begins to grow tobacco in the upper regions of the colony justy north of Buenos aires as a result of the diversification demanded by Spain. The money income from this for the private growers leaves nobody complaining however. The attack on Buenos aires leaves many shaken however the veterans of the Uruguay campaign find out relatively easily that they were one of the final large bands of hostile rogue natives in the area and they manage to pursue the others and force a surrender or offer an agreement to go live in Vorlyacor rather than be subject to Spanish Colonialism.
 * Cape Ferdinand: The Cape Ferdinand colony expands its population hoping to attract more settlers. The population of Cape Ferdinand reaches 65,000 colonists. The area itself begins to show up as a trade hub. Zulu Africans in the area begin being contacted with missionaries looking to speak to these people. The expansion of colonists in the area is truly more along the lines of some Zulus who have been converted and contracted by the local colonists. This has led to Many of them being recruited as colonial troops for their very warlike tendencies and well recognized attribute of following strong and powerful leaders of which the CMA sends only these to command the zulu troops.
 * New Granada: The  colony of New Granada formerly San Francisco sees more immigration but has become a sort of hub for Colonial adminstration fleets coming through the area to trade and explore as well as a staging point for those looking to sail to the Philippines hoping to reach them via the Pacific Ocean. The colony itself expands by 25 px. The colony's population expands to around 15,000 as the colony continues to grow in importance and the agriculture begins to take precendence especially in the areas above the colony of San Francisco. The Establishment of Wineries and even terrace farming for food begins in the San Lorenzo Valley and the surrounding mountains. The Wineries are considered a lucrative cash crop and the Colonists take great pride in growing them in the area.
 * Philippines: Spanish continue to establish majority control over the area through trade and other means. The Spanish then begin to send in a royal governor who makes plans to expand the island nation, and begins work on its economy and military to do so. Gold and silver from Spain is sent to facilitate buying materials to build up the area as the Philippines are garrisoned by mercenaries hired by Spain and nearly 300 of Spain's most well trained troops but the forces are expanded to about 5000 using locally trained soldiers or more mercenaries. The Philippines is built up as a massive trade and naval base and a fleet of Spanish ships sent from here make more trips to Central Borealia with Spain becoming the first nation to connect a trade route along the entire planet. This trip begins to gradually shift towards new Granada. The Colony itself. The Philippines lower their expansion per Spanish order as the potential for hostile natives and other threats in the area has led to a switch in policy as well as the movement of nearly 1000 spaniards and a fleet of nearly 20 warships to the area preventing any force from attacking unless they beat the spanish by sea
 * Protectorate of Oyo:  The extraction economy of the protectorate increases and the royal governor makes quotas much less demanding allowing the people to actually live somewhat rather than be in a bond of virtual slavery. The Military forces in the area are augmented with newer weaponry and are some of the most advanced troops in the region. The Protectorate exports many cash crops, metals, and precious goods to Spain
 * Chile: The few hundred Spanish settlers who established some terraced farms and a small town expand settlements in the mountains to avoid earthquakes and other acts of God.. The area is militarily supported by the CMA located in the Inca and a force of about 1500 is used to maintain order in the area. The Chilean royal governor along with the Colonial authority begins to increase the economy of the area and is planning on a period of expansion coming up in the next few years. Chile begins its first year of expansion south heading 2500 sq km south to meet up with the Spaniards which used the Mapuche for their own expansion for Pacific ports.
 * East African Protectorates: The Territories are consolidated under the Colonial Administration Authority as the East African protectorates. These nations remain fully semi-autonomous under their own governments and do not answer to Madagasikara, but to Hispania and her Colonial Administration Authority. The Colonial Authority makes it a major directive in the area to keep these states happy and encourages the expanded trade of the local league to boost economy. The Protectorates each maintain about three-to-five separate small to moderately sized independent armed forces nearing a force of about 30,000 total between all the protectorates and are used for local peacekeeping, and promoting better relations between all the states. This military is also outfitted with older Spanish equipment and is trained in older but still effective tactics. With colonial Authority in place, and the Colonial Military Administration keeping the areas from devolving into a regional arms race between the protectorates the area is effectively administered as a singular entity under the Administration, with each state keeping its local culture, customs, and minor armed forces. The Colonial Military Administration does take extra care in keeping these forces loyal and small, having more to gain by serving with Spain rather than for nationalistic purposes.
 * Korea: Korea continues to build up its military. Meanwhile, more Taoist, Neo-Confucian and Buddhist temples are built. Taoism rises in popularity and gains more followers. Regular (read: not Imperial) Shinto gains a few more followers as well, mainly along the coastline in Southeastern Korea, particularly in Busan, Jejudo and Ulsan.
 * Trade continues to boom in China, even as its other foreign policies turn more and more isolationist. We sign more trade treaties with the nations around us, leading to another boom in trade- one learned navy official estimates that 27% of the world's trade passes through China, money which is used to massively expand infrastructure. Three new roads are built, connecting Beijing with Lanzhou, Nanjing and Harbin. All vassals improve their militaries. The medical experimenting over the last 20 years has discovered huge amounts about the human body and its afflictions, and at the low cost of 2000 beggars pulled off the streets, and the aging Emperor doesn't really give a shit about them, nor, for that matter, does anyone else. The results of the 20 years of experiments - cures to thousands of diseases, an understanding for the need for cleanliness in doctors - are published in a book - known to the Europeans as the Encyclopedia Medica. The military continues to train, with massive expansions in size and training programs. A militia system is set up so that over a million irregulars can be raised in the case of an invasion. The full strength of the army that can be raised, in the case of a massive invasion, is 1.9 million soldiers, though most - 1.5 million - would be irregulars. The recruitment, and the militias, are expected to be completed by 1575, due to delays, with another five years for training. The navy, too, continues its policy of expansion, hoping to expand to 5000 warships by 1600. Meanwhile, the grain silos of each province are restocked and expanded. The project to finish the Grand Canal is finally finished.
 * France: Military, navy and economy are built up. The colony continues expanding and growing by 700 sq km among both colonies into the galapago islands called Illes d'neptune The colonies continue growing as expected. The colony of Nouvelle Rouen continues to expand eastward by 650 sq km. The government decides to move on the Dutch reformists by allowing to remain on the French territory, however, putting some taxes for allowing them free passage in French land. However, the French government makes clear that their beliefs are with  Catholicism and that any attempt of violent expansion will be considered as an act of aggression and hence the Dutch-Wallon reformist may be persecuted. The colony in Kenya continues expanding by 400 sq km. Mining continues in the colony of Nouevelle Orleans in the area of OTL Cundinamarca in the search of the Aureana - a city made of gold - in the vicinity of several lakes although not finding the city lots of gold gods are found and sent to France in order to boost the economy back on its feet. Mining begins in the Pirouien mountains and the region of Equatoriale Province for gold and silver though only a few are found. The colony of Nouvelle Orleans divides in five provinces New Orleans OTL northern Colombia and Antioquia Sableville in north western Venezuela, Equatoriale in southwest Colombia and Aurienne in the central areas and Emeraldia in central eastern Colombia. After years of ignoring an important part of the treaty France decides helping austria to rebuild initiating in the area of Tyrol and Western Austria due to close proximity to French Rhineland gold begins entering the economy of the country from  Colombian and Peruvian mines. A colony is established in OTL Benguela called Saint Louis d'Africa.
 * Kingdom of Rhineland: Military and economy are built up. Infrastructure is built up as well as navy.
 * Kingdom of Lower Burgundy: Military and economy are built up. Infrastructure is built up as well as navy.
 * Sardinia: Military and economy are built up. Infrastructure is built up as well as navy.
 * Andorra:  Military and economy are built up. Infrastructure is built up
 * Africa:Military and economy are built up. Infrastructure is built up as well as navy.
 * French Mali: Military and economy are built up.
 * Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth: The Lithuanian explorer currently working for the Commonwealth, Adomas Klimas, navigate around the Hesperian Coast and go through the passage underneath the massive unexplored continent. Their ships end up in the Pacific Ocean, occasionally landing at several other colonies to purchase supplies in order to go across the Pacific and reach the Spanish controlled Philippines to resupply. After facing inclement weather, several crewmen of the ship have been lost at sea or injured onboard. Following the landing at the Philippines, Klimas recruits several replacements who have had experience at local taverns to continue the voyage and also have more experienced men with the Pacific. Messages that were made during the year were sent back by crewmen who volunteered to leave and go aboard other merchant vessels heading towards Europe. For the next year, the Nowa Wspólnota Firma will set sail to our ally’s colony, Mogadishu, then sail south down the African coastline to reach the Atlantic. Ships continue to be built with two more 64 cannon galleons and three more 32 gun frigates finishing construction. The new fleet of the Imperial Commonwealth Navy has impressed the admiralty of the armed forces structure, however several admirals have brought up the idea of a new ship design that would supposedly be a harder target to hit while still acquiring the current firepower of the current modern vessels. Admirals from the fleets begin to propose to the admiralty about a new type of vessel that will be suffice for the current fleet. Current designs show a ship similar to the shape of a carrack, however both of the castles (Raised positions of OTL carracks that are raised on the bow and stern) have been removed, and replace with several cannon decks. No name has been made for these yet, but have been currently nicknamed the “New Carrack” by current designs. Admirals continue to sketch upon the designs of these new vessels and hope to have an adequate outcome. However, we ask states such as Hispania and Britannia in order to aid us on such layouts. We send supplies and foodstuffs to the Britannic colony that has recently exponentially expanded to keep it stable, prevent famine, and keep the trading structure of our partner in an adequate stance. The ambassadors of the Duchy of Slovakia agree to integrate into the Commonwealth. Following a vote at the General Sejm, a majority of the senate agree. By the end of the year the Duchy of Slovakia has been integrated into Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth. Our political influence continues to exert upon the nation of Hungary (10 turns left; following the integration of Slovakia less turns are needed). The military structure of our former vassal has been integrated into that of ours, increasing the Imperial Land Forces by an extra 5,000 troops. Military development continues, with our naval capacity slowly increasing.
 * Scandinavian Empire: The battle rages on in northern Germany as Scandinavia works to counterattack Hamburg's assault. During the initial days if the war, Scandinavia gained Lubeck, a city that was once a vassal to Scandinavia. Troops are sent to hold it as the fifth fleet guards the waters. The fifth fleet sees much action as Holstein is attacked, as is the city of Bremen. Soldiers march through Schelswog into Holstein, further aiding in the attack. The nations that are assisting Scandinavia during this war are thanked. The British attacks on Scandinavian merchant ships causes trouble in the courts and in the throne room. While calling for counterattack would be foolish, Scandinavia decrees that, during times of war, armed merchant ships may fire upon other ships if they themselves are first fired upon. Scandinavia will not be responsible for the actions of these merchants. In the meantime, Scandinavia works to vassalize the Mohican tribes above Vinland (turn 1 of 3).
 * Brandenburg The military is reorganized to accommodate Scandinavian arms and tactics. Training begins for new recruits as forts are reopened or rebuilt.
 * Finland: Expansion into uninhabited territory resumes
 * Greater Ingria: The war with Hamburg continues as Ingria sends troops to the war effort.
 * Iceland: The war effort continues as Iceland sends ships to reinforce the Scandinavian Fourth and Fifth fleets.
 * Karelia: Expansion into Saami territory resumes, Karelia expanding by 3500 sq km this year.
 * Lubeck: The city works on rebuilding, shipping lanes resuming by the end if the year, albeit patrolled heavily.
 * Pomerania: The military, especially the navy, is reorganized to accommodate for Scandinavian equipment and tactics. The war with Hamburg continues.
 * New Gotland: This vassal becomes even closer to the Scandinavian culture that dominates the area. The militia is improved.

 * In Mississippia, outbreak of disease continues to be mitigated by the medicine men who are using a traditional healing mold (OTL predecessor of penicillin) and herbal remedies. The thousands of missionaries who largely brought the diseases continue to move into other tribal areas, notably targeting the Sioux. The medicine men return to Mississippia (notably Cahokia) in huge numbers to heal the ill, but some remain in Sioux and Algonquin lands. Jean-Frances Desjardin oversees the importation of horses and the management of maize production nationwide. The influx of Europeans begins to slow a bit, but more and more technology continues to be brought over. The nation continues to buy firearms and horses, while using the fur trade to fuel the economy. The work on a navy continues, with canoes being built throughout the Gichigami and along the Mississippia, as well as on the off-shoot rivers. The plan to connect the Kankakee River to the Gichigami is being built, and is estimated to be completed in 1589. Anothe canal is also under contsruction now, which will connect the Allegheny and Genesee Rivers, by 1586.

Chimu remains the largest city in the empire (119,000) with Qusqo coming in second (92,000), followed by Peru (24,000), Machu Picchu (20,000) and Sican (13,000). Chimu and Sican remain isolated culturally when compared with the rest of the empire. The Inca begin to push east as well. The areas taken in the push east are organized into the Willkapampa Wamani. The areas between the Wanka Wamani and Chimorsuyu are also incorporated into the empire. The soldiers sent to France are to train in the art of seafaring, as the Treaty of Chan Chan requires France to aid in the creation of the Inca Navy. The total size of the army hits 29,000. Apeac I gives birth to his first child, a daughter named Cava. The number of districts, or Wamani, in the empire is ten.

The southern border expands to absorb it, making it into the La Paz district. The capital is founded as New Burgundy, to represent a large French minority in the empire, in OTL La Paz. Germans, who have been an ignored minority for years, are to be rounded up and forceably moved to a new city. The process will take roughly three years to complete. We ask to Zapotec join the Hesperian League. With the creation of the Hesperian League, the Inca economy begins to expand and ties with Vorlyclayr begin to deepen.

 * Kingdom of Croatia: Croatia focuses primarily on its military. Trade routes are strengthened after and the salt mines around Tuzla are explored as well as the salt industry in Pag and Nin. Using irrigation from the Danube, Sava, Drava, Drina, Cetina, Una, Vrbaš, Kupa, Neretva and other rivers the fields in the kingdom are developed, used for crops such as wheat, rye and barley. With trade routes increasing and Croatia entering an era of peace and of stability, the development of new trade ships is issued. Both the Ban and the King begin supporting urbanization and the spread of free cities, much to the disagreement of the Sabor. The Brothers of the Raven continue spreading their influence in Croatia. Stone mining is furthered as well as the timber industry. The need for these resources rises as urbanization carries on. The navy, under command of the King and the First Admiral is developed due to the purchase of Britannic ships which are inspected and introduced into the Royal War Navy of Croatia or HKRM (Hrvatska Kraljevska Ratna Mornarica). Iron ores in Dugopolje, Zenice and alas the 'mud' ore in Vojvodina and eastern Slavonia are to be exploited alongside the silver and copper ores more frequent and of better quality than the iron ores. The exploitation of iron ores in the Lika and Gorski kotar areas continues. Due to the receiveing of Britannic ships the navy has significantly improved. The Pskovian offer from last year is accepted.

Meanwhile the economy is shakily growing, as land development halts. Constanta fabrică de Tun, continues developing its cannons, a new design is tested, where a Culverini is mounted on significantly larger wheels. this allows for better mobility, but makes it more dangerous to fire the cannon. The cannons produced and developed at the factory begin to make the company quite rich and powerful. The company begins to develop a new form of cannons, the Culverini. The new guns are tested on a Sunbeci, and prove to be exceptionally accurate for naval guns, however the large Culverini are too heavy for the smaller Sunbeci. More work must be done to refine the cannons, but they are developing well. A redesigned Culverini, the Mic-Culverini is tested on a Sunbeci. The test is extremely positive as the redesigned cannons are smaller and much more portable than the full size Culverini. The Sunbeci continue to be developed, the craft is tested and exceeds expectations. The navy requests funding to pay for a fleet of 50 to be built over the next few decades, the project is rescheduled to finish in 1576 due to the war in Anatolia. Each ship will displace 200 tons, and carry 40 cannons of varying length and caliber. More disputes occur in the senate. Aside from the politicking of the capital much work is put into strengthening bonds with Transylvania, and thousands of Romanians travel to the new province.Pressure from Catholics in Transylvania begins to mount, as religious diversity leads to some conflict.

 * Prince-Bishopric of Osnabruck: The university continues to decline in numbers for economic reasons.
 * Roman Empire: The Empire slowly begins to crawl out of the economic crisis that the war with Austria has left it in. Loans from Ragusa have helped to ease the burderns facing the economy, and Theodore III has also reformed various economic regulations to ease through business and make tax collection more efficient. This is joined with a crackdown on monetary corruption in the court, with members being caught being forced to pay a fine. The offer of the Greeks in Anatolia is once again accepted, for several reasons. One, the increase in Imperial citizens would increase the tax base that funds can be raised. Two, pilgrimages to the Monastery of St John the Apostle and the House of Mary at Ephesus would increase imperial revenue as well. The Imperial Army moves 10,000 soldiers to the lands once again, figuring that the cost of such troops can be supported locally and the Greek militias will defend the rest. Supplies are also sent to help its ally Scandinavia defeat the Hamburgian forces in Northern Germany. Despite this, the Empire needs more funds to keep up with managing its costs, and so asks for loans from its allies. The offer of the Romanians is also accepted on the basis of needing more money in the treasury.

The population continues to rise. Queen Catherine and her council continue to allow the training of new troops. Several modern warships and trade vessels begin construction at Bremen Port. The Curia Bavaria order the Bavarian Army to be outfitted in modern uniform and to hold modern weaponry. Snapaunche rifles make their introduction in Bavaria.

She does this by drawing up plans to synthesize all of the various German dialects in her dominion and introduce a common dialect, most likely that of her native Bavarian dialect most commonly spoken around Landshut and Munchen. In diplomatic news, Catherine ponders funding French-held Rhenish lands to recover from the recent Austrian war. The Britannic state visit is welcomed whole-heartedly.

In Europe cultural, economic and scientific growth continues as the Netherlands enter their golden age. The cities of Amsterdam and Brussels remain the largest cities of the lowlands and their influence over the rest of the lowlands is starting to be seen. Lowland French continues to develop along separate lines then southern French. Lowlands French continues to be important as both French and Dutch are spoken in the upper class and French is used for diplomatic ventures. The University of Brussels continues to flourish and the city itself is recognized as the most beautiful city in the Kingdom with only The Hague, Amsterdam and Namur rivaling it. The Palace of the Orient continues to be an important cultural centre in the city and the Mirza wing is built for the Mirza family to live in should they choose to. The House of Mirza continues to mingle with other European houses and one of the third generations of the house catches the eye of Willem II who begins trying to court her as a mistress. The girl in question, a 17-year old mixed blood named Rudy van Mirza, initially doesn't take to him much. However, his persistence eventually gets her into his bed. They have a child which greatly upsets the queen and Willems other chidren. Willem continues to delegate more power to the States-General as he dedicates his time to the arts, sciences and other activities of the Upper class and nobility. The Dutch navy is nearly completely remodeled now with 75% of the fleet now with modern ships as the older ones are scuttled or sold to privateers and merchants. The military continues to expand. The States-General offer the Romans support should they decide to suppress the separatist groups. In the New World, the Guiana colony continues to grow as all settlements expand 20 pixels in total along the Amazon, New Rhine Rivers and along the coastline. The Netherlands offers Portugal a treaty establishing the borders between their respective colonies along the Amazon River. Dutch explorers continue to explore the New Rhine and Amazon Rivers charting the lands and waters of the interior. The settlements continue to grow and prosper as more land is set aside for farming and plantations and the cities along the coastline grow as trade grows in the region. Fighting against the natives in the interior intensifies as Dutch-Wallon colonists and explorers push the frontier and establish forts along them. More slaves are sold in the New World and to the Indian states particularly to Urdistan as demand increases. Benin continues to develop as an autonomous part of the Dutch African Empire and the first generation of European educated leaders arises.

 * Empire of Urdustan:  فضل بچت (Bacata anugraha) Continues to rebuild his acquired lands from the Third Treaty of Delhi, building Hindu mosques and Hindu cultural centers before the Islamic ones, so as to prevent overwhelming anger by the Hindus from seemingly favoring the Muslims. However, Islamic buildings and cultural centers are also being rebuilt at this time, but with less importance. Several Urdu merchants continue to sponsor gem mines in the Mogok area of Ava, due to the high concentration of gems such as rubies, sapphires, garnets and moonstones, and the first of many mines begin to return with more successes. Cash crops continue to be grown in large amounts. With our merchants traveling to Ava, Kamarumpa and Arakan regularly, Islam continues to grow in their areas. Financial loans continue to be given to Bahmani and Jaunpur. Merchants also travel exclusively to Multan, Sind, Ladakh, and Kangra. The construction of schools and universities several years ago has led to an increase in scholars and literacy in our nation. Construction of ships based upon Castilian designs, granted to us by them, continues, in order to further our efforts to explore and trade. New crops continue to enter into several plantations, opium and cannabis. With the increasing popularity of wood-block printing, works in Urdu/Hindi are created and stored in large amounts, in order to further cement the change in Urdustan. To continue the conversion of his Sultanate to an Empire, plans for statues and gardens are drawn up, to build a sort of cult of personality around the current emperor, and affirm to the people of Urdustan that he is the leader, and he is the law. Efforts to better the military continue with a mandatory rearming of the noble levies, with the Emperor offering to pay half the costs per noble, and with any noble refusing to do so, being met with increasingly less beneficial trade interaction by other nobles and foreign merchants. The plans for a colony are back on, and scouting merchant ships are searching for suitable locations. The Islamitization of Urdustan continues from an increase in missionary activity.
 * Rajya of Orissa (Uṛīsā kē rājya, اڑیسہ کی بادشاہی): Kalua Deva continues to listen to his advisers and bring about several reforms to his nation that make it more Islamic friendly, one of which is new, and calls for the creation of one mosque for each Hindu temple in the name of tolerance, when in reality, his advisers have prescribed this to bring about larger Islamic influence. Training of levies by Bengali advisors continues.
 * Swargadeo of Kamarupa (Grēṭara asama kē rājya, گریٹر آسام کی بادشاہی): Now vassalized by Bengal, the Swargadeo of Ahom continues to receive extensive help in creating viable farmland. They do this by continuing a process of land reclamation in the northern part of the state, which is largely marshy and thinly populated. This process of reclamation begins by using dikes, embankments and irrigation systems. The land reclamation, having been going on for decades, is extremely successful in creating viable farmland for rice, grain and other staple crops, increasing Kamarupa's population and their yearly trade output. Training of levies by Bengali advisors continues.
 * Zapoteca: Zapoteca looks to expand trade with other nations through Hispania, mainly Britannia and France. The Emperor continues financing Spanish settlers to come to the kingdom and marry into the population. Trade increases and continues with the Spanish. The Emperor expands roadways connecting cities in the alliance to help merchants and soldiers move freer between them. The military, which had been outdated for many years, continues to be upgraded. The economy booms with trade as a result of the roads. Naval technology is rapidly advanced under the Spanish with an advancing fleet of 25 light and medium ships purchased from Spain. The Emperor orders more to be manufactured to bring in goods from the sea. Itzapam continues prospering under Zapotecan rule, improving their military. Zapoteca expands 50 px north with the help of Spanish explorers.

'''In the early hours of 8 February an 8.3 magnitude earthquake occurs in Chile, followed by a tsunami and several aftershocks. Several Spanish settlers are killed and houses in the area are destroyed, although by the time of the tsunami the majority of the population manages to escape to higher ground further inland.'''

'''The Egyptian civil conflict ends, with the Christians emerging victorious. Most Muslim communities have either been slaughtered or driven out. The main Muslim holdouts in the country are in Cairo and the western desert.'''


 * Portugal: Continues a notable buildup in military strength and allows for a vigorous training program on the existing military forces attempting to train them up heavily. Meanwhile, the administration continues to be reformed, and agriculture and commerce are encouraged. Meanwhile, Portugal continues to develop its navy. Meanwhile, the colony in Lenhame continues exporting wheat to Portugal. Meanwhile, trade intensifies in the African coast. The Açores continue to be settled. Meanwhile, the naus continue being used. Naval explorations directed to the west continue. Meanwhile, Santa Cruz expands north by 2500 sq km. Meanwhile, sugarcane continues to be planted in Santa Cruz. Meanwhile, pau-brasil (brazilwood) starts to be extracted in the colony. Meanwhile, the colony of São Sebastião expands 2500 sq km. Meanwhile, Infante João Manrique de Lara, eldest son of King Nuno, marries Sancha Álvares de Celanova. Meanwhile, Portugal accepts the Dutch offer of a treaty.
 * |onte: Continues to have a large surplus of grain and rice. Though adopting "western farming", the idea of "the tribe" is still very much so alive, as people always share the crops they have grown, or the animals they have hunted amongst the community. Due to the policy of planting tree groves, desert reclamation has started taking serious effect in some parts of |onte. This year has resulted in sixty elephants being killed. The new expansion to the elephant pen is completed. |onte's population rises to over 268,000. There is a population centre that is beginning to appear around the mouth of the Kunene, and is simply referred to as Kunene. Mon IV ups his expansion north to 300 sq km (6 pixels) with the newly equipped Eheresito hu Kunene. Mon III continues combining the many narratives heard into one coherent story, called the Sahaka, and takes on the project of Mon II. Mon V brings books from |onte to !Xoonte as a gift, and a few gifts of ivory hoping to improve relations with their King, and spread |on culture. Mon V teaches the King and many surrounding people how to read and speak literary |on. Mon VI's offers the Rikisi of !Xoonte help creating its own army, by giving them old muskets and training, and sends the Eheresito hu Suida to help their Rikisiate expand northwards 450 sq km north-eastwards per turn. (mod response) Mon VI buys more of the snaphaunces to equip the new elite corps.
 * !Xóõn (mod) diplomacy: !Xoonte is more than glad to accept the |on offer.
 * Prussia: The Prussians continue to develop their economy. The Prussians continue to build their navy. Prussia continues to Germanize their ethnic minorities.
 * Courland: The Curonians also continue developing their economy.
 * Estland: Estland also continues developing their economy.
 * Neu Pommern: As Neu Hamburg is annexed by Banche Esterno, the freshly made Germans-only colony in the Scheiteswasser is flooded with Germans fleeing their new Greek/Italian overlords. As a result the only two colonized islands in the Scheiteswasser end up becoming common trade stops, as Freihafen produces tobacco and oranges, and Deutschinsel produces cannabis, hemp, and rum, as was intended to keep the two island colonies from competing on the same marketing, which would also keep ethnic tensions between Injun and German down. Privateering and piracy continue to become something of note in Neu Pommeranian culture, and many poor and adventerous youths decide to turn to such a life, raiding and such. Several more rum distilleries open, further flooding the Imperial with famous Neu Pommern rum, some of which is sent back to the motherland to the royal family. We continue expansion 20 px inland as we now border Cahokia to our south, and decide to militarize that border for now.
 * Westphalia: We celebrate our multiple, back to back victories, the Hessen Marsch being played throughout the cities. Many of those who were not Hessians before do not like this. They would prefer a Westfalen Marsch to signal the unity of Westphalia. Many songwriters begin competing to gain the honour of having their song chosen as the military's marching song. Most of the non-Hessian citizens in Westphalia also demand that the national song be changed from "My Love, My Land, Hesse", to something representing Westphalia's unity. Pfalz is also vassalized. We improve infrastructure. Moritz I von WIttelsbach is born to Wilhelm IV and his wife.
 * Mainz: We improve infrastructure.
 * East Cologne: We improve infrastructure.
 * East Trier: We improve infrastructure.
 * Palatinate: We are vassalized into Westphalia. We improve infrastructure.
 * Hispania: The Spanish populace reaches about 14 million and growing thanks to in large part of the inplementation of learned Incan farming methods, and the incorporation of some of the new american staple crops into Spanish diet. The economy, thanks to the aggressive colonialism, continues to expand immensely and the Spanish economy becomes the most powerful in Europe passing the French economy by leaps and bounds with the massive influx of gold, silver and jewels contributing heavily. The armed forces continue their push to remain the most modern and begins to build a host of new ships to replace older ones which are sold to its vassals, trade companies and other territories of the Empire. The Parliament engages in a vote to annex Lombardy and her vassals into the Empire and continues the occupation. With the war coming to a close, Hispania and her empire transfer relics requested by the Romans to Constantinople. The Spanish fleet is also at a solid 500 warships as well with many being war galleons, and frigates with more upgrades being made more periodically. The Colonial Expansion act is expanded to include New Granada which as a recent but heavily expanding colony requires the extra funding. With the expansion of the Hispanian bank to all colonies, and the Protectorate of Inca the investments begin to flow out into the empire investing in the expansion of colonial infrastructure, expansion of colonial economies, and expansion of the most profitable Colonial industries. The Empire itself begins to show healthier signs of recovery as many people are put to work in building the wall, agriculture, and other industries as well. This begins show an upward trend in employment in Spain but is also stimulated by some subsidies given to people that wish to go to colonies to set up there. The Colonial expansion act has increased the amount of settlers leaving for protectorates and colonies each year with population growth in spain being stunted due to this. The Hispanian economy however is boosted by the increases in shipbuilding for trade, expansion of cash crops for trade, the large scale developments in Spain of cities growing lawger and supporting more work, and the expansion of many jobs throughout the empire. The Empire itself however begins importing raw material from colonies to meet demands for the full scale replacement for weapons and the growing military industry in Spain. The Gold and silver influx into Spain economy has fully restabilized the Reals free fall and shortage of gold and silver for coins, and Banks however begin a small practice of printing paper notes backed by gold to test how this works within the Spanish economy. The Influx of Spices, Sugar, Raw Materials, Tobacco, other cash crops, and Bullion have greatly recovered the Spanish economy from a Free fall like their French and Scandinavian allies. The Walls built near the Pyrenees are continually built and loans are taken out to finance these in order to improve the Credit of the King and to prove the worth of Hispanias bank. More newly implemented Merchantilist policies in thanks to acts passed by Parliament impose small tariffs on colonies and protectorates in order to gain a steady but tolerable flow of cash to Spain from her overseas territories. Due to the late implementation of this its unsure how it will work in the Colonies but the Merchantilism is expected to work as Good from Spain are exported heavily to outside markets such as the colonies, protectorates, and even her European possessions. This policy however does limit and prevent colonial manufacturers from competing fully with Spanish manufacturers in some regards unless licensed by Parliament. In an act of good faith many large manufacturers in the colonies are given this immediately but further set ups of major manufactories are prevented.
 * Kingdom of Italy:  Italy reaches its troop amount of 30,000 with it being armed and trained by Spanish troops in tactics. The Italian army is expanded moderately with some naval ships being purchased to replace losses. However, the Invulnerable Spanish army discourages any from speaking their mind and most deal with the relatively benevolent rule of the Spanish. The population of the Kingdom of Italy reaches about 13.5 million with growth falling short due to many men being killed in the war. The Italian navy reaches nearly 200 ships and growing. The people of Italy begin to see Spain as much more benevolent than before and are more than happy with Spanish rule. However, this also may have to do with the fact that many nobles have been replaced with Spaniards or loyal Italians who helped Spanish forces in the invasion. Some Hispanicized Italians (Italians who have adopted Spanish culture) are allowed to settle in the Spanish colonies. Some smaller towns and cities in coastal Italy see the first real merging of Spanish and Italian culture. The Kingdom of Italy shows a new prominent gun maker known as Ferdinand Auditore, a man of mixed Spanish and Italian descent. The Walls of the Alps are put under construction to using labor from some of the economically depressed northern states in Italy recently annexed to Hispania in the war. The walls is partially funded by all the capable Italian states and is expected to be done within eight years due to fortifications already existing in the many mountain passes, and the relatively easy way the Italian walls could be finished in the Alps
 * Savoy: The economy, thanks to trade with Spain, expands moderately but much is spent rebuilding Savoy from the conflict. Savoy agrees to cede portions of territory to France due to the war and many people in Savoy are angered but powerless. The rulers of Savoy - realizing that inclusion into the Spanish empire is much better than being a target of it - manage to pacify the populace and begin to rebuild raising a small force of about 10,000 to handle security. The people of Savoy begin to work toward building up a trade fleet now at 120 ships.
 * Genoa: Genoa's armed forces reach about 12,000. These people continue to find ways to live under the Spanish empire in a more prosperous way, by establishing multiple trade companies. These companies begin to be common throughout Spanish lands as the Genoans begin to build up a trade fleet of a sizable amount now at 100 ships. 15,000 troops are sent with a decent amount being mercenaries.
 * Kingdom of Lombardy: The New King Phillip (King of Spain) is installed on the throne of Lombardy as his military leadership will be needed in the kingdom and the crown is tied with the Spanish one just as the Italian crown is. With this he begins a process towards rebuilding the economy and military of the kingdom. The military is a raised force of 25,000 with many of them being pro-Spanish Hispanicized Italians which have been rapidly spreading across Italy. The population of Lombardy is at an estimated 1.5 million and counting. The Nations economy is now in a process of integration into the Hispanian economy.
 * Modena: The nation of Modena's government is but up as the Barony of Modena and its military is improved significantly under the Spanish umbrella as they get a new slew of modern arms among other things. The economy of Modena is also expanded as the state begins to consolidate itself under Spain's trade umbrella. Its military forces are expanded to about 5000.
 * Ravenna: Ravenna now known as the Barony of Ravenna is expanded economically heavy under Spain's trade umbrella as the majority of the Italian region has come under Spain's control. The military is also expanded as the city receives arms from Spain and Italy. Its armed forces reach a size of about 6000 and the military is drilled in Spanish tactics.
 * Vatican City: Vatican City is re-instated as the Pope requested a small enclave of the Papacy for himself. Wielding considerable influence the current Pope seeing Spanish advances deems it the will of God and declares the Spanish rule in Italy is one of the biggest acts of peace and prosperity seen on the peninsula since the Roman empire itself. The Vatican State recruits a series of guards to protect themselves and begins the process of adding many things to the Papal palace and beginning to root out corruption in the churches of the City of Rome and many other places in Italy.
 * Kingdom of Morocco: The country continues the construction of various canals and cultivates trees farther inland to help increase arable farmland. The Moroccan economy continues to expand with greater trade coming from Spain and the Canaries all the way down to Capo Verde increasing the relative wealth. The Kingdom, with many canals having been completed, has vastly expanded its farmland among other things. Morocco's total population is 1.8 million with Christianity becoming dominant in the area. The Moroccan Assassins Guild forms and spreads keeping the peace and killing the corrupt as well as making Morocco much more peaceful for Spain. The Moroccan navy increases to nearly 130 ships. Morocco's economy continues to boom as the major canal projects have turned some of Morocco's harshes areas into incredibly useful farmland and for the first time in recorded history the area is covered in green farmland, trees and grasses.
 * Kongo: The Kingdom begins to work toward a trade and production economy focusing on helping provide resources for Castile's burgeoning West African trade network. The King of the Kongo converting to Christianity and being baptised begins to call for the expansion of ports to the best of the Kongolese architects' abilities. The Kingdom of the Kongo in an attempt to increase economic output and trade begins to export a large amount of raw materials to Castile and begins to push toward heavy exploitation methods. The Kongo, unable to expand any farther up the river and with sizeable amounts of territory lost to local inland tribes, abandons a large amount of territory with no intent in coming years to reclaim but maintains that the entirety of the river and its basin is under the jurisdiction and claim of the Kongo and its Hispanian monarchs.
 * Mapuche: The Mapuche people begin to see the first mixed children between Spanish and Mapuche people. The Spanish institute the Ecomienda system. However, the Spanish governor, in order to keep control of the people, orders the Spanish heads of the system to treat the natives fairly in order to prevent mass deaths from overworking and resentment. Spanish farming techniques have definitely prevented starvation as the Mapuche continue to expand toward the coast building a road to connect it all. The Spanish governor, also using the local Mapuche as scouts, is able to expand much more than the Buenos Aires colony and uses this to his advantage to secure more land to be able to turn over to Spanish settlers. The Royal Governor ramps up expansion for some of the new plantation owners setting up expanding the the territory by 2500 sq km.
 * Morelia: The former Mayan kingdom is renamed Morelia by the royal governor to reflect its new Spanish culture as thousands of settlers have settled in the major cities with the population reaching about 675,000 in total with a large amount of traders and people from across Europe reaching an insightful priest says that destroying the cities will result in long term resentment that could never be repaired and instead they should be made Spanish-Maya hybrid. The new Royal Governor seeing wisdom in this declares that the cities will not be ransacked and a moderate tribute of gold and silver is demanded by the Spanish. The 2000 troops remain in the country and begin to establish areas along the coast suitable for Spanish settlement. The military and economy of the Maya under Spain is developed and roads are upgraded to Spanish standards. The Spanish begin to sponsor settlers in Morelia to begin expanding on the continent down the coast. (2500 sq km). The Island of Cuba is cultivated for sugar as Spain begins looking for more trade income rather than just total income from gold.
 * Aztecs: Spanish  continue their Ecomienda system from the Mapuche in the south to the Aztec areas to extract gold and silver. Along with this many of the remaining Aztec people become infected decreasing population further. The economy of the Aztecs becomes entirely reliant on the Spanish Empire and the military remains non-existent with areas being occupied by Zapotec and remaining Spanish forces. However, its garrison is made up of Spanish forces who are settling the territory. Almost 50,000 Spaniards live in the Aztec nation. The royal governor is appointed and after conversation with Morelias governor decides eventually he will embark on a large expansion campaign up the Mexican area. The Aztecs expand by 2500 sq km.
 * Mission of Galicia: Set up by a few opportunistic Spaniards the Mission of New Galicia is set up in the diorganized Colorado territories using newly subjugated natives as a base for this (this is a vassal set up out of the disorganized colorado territory). Many of the Coloradans are happy for some semblance of organization and the mission is set up to expand through the well known colorado territories for trade supplies, or to come across settlements with which to trade. The Republic immediately begins to expand through the territory seeking for trade goods (50 px) This Mission (a church for the sole purpose of converting) is more or less turned into a small town with the Church at the center but with many heavily armed Spanish guarding the fort's walls and keeping the surrounding territory around.
 * Kingdom of Venezia: With the establishment of the Kingdom of Venezia following the previous war and with the loss of a large portion of the fleet the Venezian people seem to believe that much can be rebuilt through utilization of the dynamically rising Spanish empire for its own benefit. The businessmen and high level economists, bankers and multiple other fully knowledgeable individuals of Venezia remaining after the war go on a trip to Spain's vibrant trade cities and after careful negotiations many of these men take over one of Spain's newest rising trade companies, the Buenos Aires trade company, with some offices based out of the Buenos Aires colony in Hesperia. The Venezians, unable to select a king from their remaining nobles, delegate to the Queen of Spain (Castile and Aragon) who chooses a man named Antonio Lo Grato to rule as Prince of Venice in place of the Queen of Spain. A well acclaimed and respected man, he immediately enacts reforms. The Venezian economy with access to the Spanish economy begins to recover and for the first time in years due to this. The Venezians begins its long road to naval recovery and begins to use its vast knowledge to begin building ships not only for itself but acquires the blueprints to improve on Spanish ships to allow for sale back to the Queen. The Venezian military is also raised to a token force of about 10,000 due to its location but remains lightly armed and unable to project power or fight any unsupported offensives. The Prince of Venezia, Antonio, begins the drift toward Spanish culture.
 * Viceroyalty of New Spain: The Viceroyalty of new Spain is established with a massive amount of coastal territory secured begins to expand its major settlements seriously with Buenos Aires maintaining the most with nearly 45,000 people but stagnating as more people are settling the country side and establishign new towns and cities. The colony proper reaches nearly 550,000 in population seeing large amounts of Colonial immigration now from both Spain and Hispanicized Italians. The viceroy in order to expand the food supply of the large colony expands cattle ranching and agriculture in certain areas.. The Spanish inhabitants of the colonies form more militias under command of a Spanish officer which is trained only to fight off native attacks. The Colony specifically expands 50 px  The viceroyalty seems extremely happy with the colonial status and support it's received from Spain as well as the massive re-investment for the betterment of the colony giving a huge boost to the construction of a few forts and a road system. The first ships begin to arrive from Spain African colonies bringing goods and a few slaves. Ranching is taken up by men previously accustomed to this in Spain. The Colony begins to grow tobacco in the upper regions of the colony justy north of Buenos aires as a result of the diversification demanded by Spain. The money income from this for the private growers leaves nobody complaining however. The attack on Buenos aires leaves many shaken however the veterans of the Uruguay campaign find out relatively easily that they were one of the final large bands of hostile rogue natives in the area and they manage to pursue the others and force a surrender or offer an agreement to go live in Vorlyacor rather than be subject to Spanish Colonialism.
 * Cape Ferdinand: The Cape Ferdinand colony expands its population hoping to attract more settlers. The population of Cape Ferdinand reaches 65,000 colonists. The area itself begins to show up as a trade hub. Zulu Africans in the area begin being contacted with missionaries looking to speak to these people. The expansion of colonists in the area is truly more along the lines of some Zulus who have been converted and contracted by the local colonists. This has led to Many of them being recruited as colonial troops for their very warlike tendencies and well recognized attribute of following strong and powerful leaders of which the CMA sends only these to command the zulu troops.
 * New Granada: The  colony of New Granada formerly San Francisco sees more immigration but has become a sort of hub for Colonial adminstration fleets coming through the area to trade and explore as well as a staging point for those looking to sail to the Philippines hoping to reach them via the Pacific Ocean. The colony itself expands by 25 px. The colony's population expands to around 15,000 as the colony continues to grow in importance and the agriculture begins to take precendence especially in the areas above the colony of San Francisco. The Establishment of Wineries and even terrace farming for food begins in the San Lorenzo Valley and the surrounding mountains. The Wineries are considered a lucrative cash crop and the Colonists take great pride in growing them in the area.
 * Philippines: Spanish continue to establish majority control over the area through trade and other means. The Spanish then begin to send in a royal governor who makes plans to expand the island nation, and begins work on its economy and military to do so. Gold and silver from Spain is sent to facilitate buying materials to build up the area as the Philippines are garrisoned by mercenaries hired by Spain and nearly 300 of Spain's most well trained troops but the forces are expanded to about 5000 using locally trained soldiers or more mercenaries. The Philippines is built up as a massive trade and naval base and a fleet of Spanish ships sent from here make more trips to Central Borealia with Spain becoming the first nation to connect a trade route along the entire planet. This trip begins to gradually shift towards new Granada. The Colony itself. The Philippines lower their expansion per Spanish order as the potential for hostile natives and other threats in the area has led to a switch in policy as well as the movement of nearly 1000 spaniards and a fleet of nearly 20 warships to the area preventing any force from attacking unless they beat the spanish by sea
 * Protectorate of Oyo:  The extraction economy of the protectorate increases and the royal governor makes quotas much less demanding allowing the people to actually live somewhat rather than be in a bond of virtual slavery. The Military forces in the area are augmented with newer weaponry and are some of the most advanced troops in the region. The Protectorate exports many cash crops, metals, and precious goods to Spain
 * Chile: The few hundred Spanish settlers who established some terraced farms and a small town expand settlements in the mountains to avoid earthquakes and other acts of God.. The area is militarily supported by the CMA located in the Inca and a force of about 1500 is used to maintain order in the area. The Chilean royal governor along with the Colonial authority begins to increase the economy of the area and is planning on a period of expansion coming up in the next few years. Chile begins its first year of expansion south heading 2500 sq km south to meet up with the Spaniards which used the Mapuche for their own expansion for Pacific ports.
 * East African Protectorates: The Territories are consolidated under the Colonial Administration Authority as the East African protectorates. These nations remain fully semi-autonomous under their own governments and do not answer to Madagasikara, but to Hispania and her Colonial Administration Authority. The Colonial Authority makes it a major directive in the area to keep these states happy and encourages the expanded trade of the local league to boost economy. The Protectorates each maintain about three-to-five separate small to moderately sized independent armed forces nearing a force of about 30,000 total between all the protectorates and are used for local peacekeeping, and promoting better relations between all the states. This military is also outfitted with older Spanish equipment and is trained in older but still effective tactics. With colonial Authority in place, and the Colonial Military Administration keeping the areas from devolving into a regional arms race between the protectorates the area is effectively administered as a singular entity under the Administration, with each state keeping its local culture, customs, and minor armed forces. The Colonial Military Administration does take extra care in keeping these forces loyal and small, having more to gain by serving with Spain rather than for nationalistic purposes.
 * Korea: Korea continues to build up its military. Meanwhile, more Taoist, Neo-Confucian and Buddhist temples are built. Taoism rises in popularity and gains more followers. Regular (read: not Imperial) Shinto gains a few more followers as well, mainly along the coastline in Southeastern Korea, particularly in Busan, Jejudo and Ulsan.
 * Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth: Adomas Klimas and the Nowa Wspólnota Firma have reached the colony of Mogadishu and began trailing down the east coast of the African coastline. Within several months, the company has reached southern passage to the Atlantic and docked at the Spanish colony for supplies to continue their voyage. For the next six months they will travel north up the western coast of Africa and then reach Neu Pommern to land and resupply. With Silesia now under our control, we welcome our West Slavic brethren return into Poland. Flags of Bohemia on the administration buildings within Silesia have been taken down and replaced by the flag of Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth. Troops and militia move into the area to consolidate power. With the Austrian threat virtually gone, many of our reservists and current standing army is moved to the eastern and southern border with the Russia and Hungary. About 10,000 stand at the Hungarian border with another 35,000 at the Russian border. Nearly 6,000 are left in the west. Our navy continue to develop with another two 64 gun galleons finishing construction and three 32 gun frigates going off the slipway of the shipyard. Diplomatic influence continues to be exerted upon Hungary (9 Turns Left). Military development and progress with the navy continues.
 * France: Military, navy and economy are built up. The colony continues expanding and growing by 700 sq km among both colonies into the galapago islands called Illes d'neptune The colonies continue growing as expected. The colony of Nouvelle Rouen continues to expand eastward by 650 sq km. The government decides to move on the Dutch reformists by allowing to remain on the French territory, however, putting some taxes for allowing them free passage in French land. However, the French government makes clear that their beliefs are with  Catholicism and that any attempt of violent expansion will be considered as an act of aggression and hence the Dutch-Wallon reformist may be persecuted. The colony in Kenya continues expanding by 400 sq km. Mining continues in the colony of Nouevelle Orleans in the area of OTL Cundinamarca in the search of the Aureana - a city made of gold - in the vicinity of several lakes although not finding the city lots of gold gods are found and sent to France in order to boost the economy back on its feet. Mining begins in the Pirouien mountains and the region of Equatoriale Province for gold and silver though only a few are found. The colony of Nouvelle Orleans divides in five provinces New Orleans OTL northern Colombia and Antioquia Sableville in north western Venezuela, Equatoriale in southwest Colombia and Aurienne in the central areas and Emeraldia in central eastern Colombia. After years of ignoring an important part of the treaty France decides helping Austria to rebuild initiating in the area of Tyrol and Western Austria due to close proximity to French Rhineland gold begins entering the economy of the country from Colombian and Peruvian mines. A colony is established in OTL Sumbe Angola called Saint Louis d'Africa.
 * Kingdom of Rhineland: Military and economy are built up. Infrastructure is built up as well as navy.
 * Kingdom of Lower Burgundy: Military and economy are built up. Infrastructure is built up as well as navy.
 * Sardinia: Military and economy are built up. Infrastructure is built up as well as navy.
 * Andorra:  Military and economy are built up. Infrastructure is built up
 * Africa:Military and economy are built up. Infrastructure is built up as well as navy.
 * French Mali: Military and economy are built up.
 * Sultanate of Timor: The wheat surplus continued to increase and spices were sold to the Dutch merchants. The population was booming and many mosques were built for the people to worship in. The extensive work on developing Timor's navy and military had proved beneficial after the Dutch had started providing the Marrikuwuyanga with their warships for the Marrikuwuyanga to examine and build. A great majority of Marrikuwuyangan warships were present at Timor with most of them having more than 40 cannons present. With merchants and now clergy arriving to Timor from the Mataram Sultanate, Islam started to spread among the natives. One of the member of the Supreme Council of Eight who himself had converted to Islam made sure the Emperor was not informed of the spread of the Abrahamic religion. Many ships carrying soldiers, priests and farmers arrive at South West Guinea to settle in the region. The natives of Guinea who try to oppose the Marrikuwuyanga are attacked and enslaved although those that convert to Islam are spared. At least 83% of the people had converted to Islam by now. With the Yadaist forces having finally surrendered, the Timorid marched into mainland Marrikuwuyanga where the people greeted the Timorids as heroes. The remaining members of the Supreme Council were all captured and executed, and the people were informed about the lies of Yadaism, and introduced to Islam. Our relations with the Dutch and public sentiment regarding Dutch deteriorates slightly. We start to vassalize the lower Sunda islands surrounding or near Timor (Turn Three of Eight). The interim government is overthrown by the heir to the throne Yagan Gulpilil and his trusted his General, Mutah. Yagan Gulpilil is officially granted the title of Sultan Yagan Gulpilil and himself signs the agreement with Urdustan, a few weeks later; he expels the Dutch merchants and ends all relations with the Dutch due to the Treaty of Tapu being void after Dutch interfered with and threatened Marrikuwuyangan interests. Mil Turn and Eco Turn
 * State of Tapu: The fighting had finally ended and the people of Tapu celebrated for peace had been brought back to their lands. Islam had already been introduced to the people and it had spread like lightning through the people for indeed, the Yadaist Gods had proved helpless whilst the Yadaist military fell to the Muslim army and many people accepted Islam. A great number of temples and idols were brought down and replaced with mosques. Eco Turn and Mil Turn
 * Marrikuwuyanga: The wheat surplus had steadily increased which had allowed the Marrikuwuyanga to increase their population. The Marrikuwuyangan economy was steadily growing after the shock it had faced when the Ayutthaya faced rebellion. The Marrikuwuyangan economy was the strongest in the region and hundreds of men from other tribal states would migrate to Marrikuwuyanga annually to live in better conditions. The Marrikuwuyanga now produced muskets in large number, although training in using spears was still provided. The development of a cannon brought a new era for the Marrikuwuyangans who had never seen such a decisive weapon. The navy is developed. A university that had been built a few years ago was utilised by people to study and learn. After extensive work on developing the living standards of the people since the time of Emperor Benelong Gulpilil, the Emperor had successfully managed to replace almost all of Marrikuwuyangan grass huts with either mud huts (36%) or mud brick houses (64%). Despite suffering heavy losses and still not surrendering, the people revolted against the authority and broke into the Royal Palace where the 12 year old Emperor Dosuririri Gulpilil was lynched by a mob and the Supreme Council members were all captured. The Timorid forces were allowed to march to the war-time Capital and the people proclaimed allegiance to the true Emperor Yagan Gulpilil. Islam was introduced to the people, and many accepted it because the Yadaist Gods had proved helpless whilst the Yadaist army suffered heavy losses to the Muslims. We expand 100 px East Eco Turn and Mil Turn
 * Gini (Guinea): Immigrants from Timor continued to settle at South - East Guinea [10 px] and were protected from the tribes of Guinea by a small force of 100 men, equipped with spears and firearms. Indeed, not all the tribes were hostile to the Timorid immigrants and with the help of some, the people of Timor were able to learn how to grow various crops not found on Australia and were also able to learn about the history of the island, of how it had been previous enslaved by the Majapahit. With the war with the Yadaist over, the settlement at Gini continued to spread and Muslim missionaries were sent to different parts of Gini. Meanwhile, the settlement expanded by 100 px Eco Turn and Mil Turn.
 * Mudbarra: Extensive work on developing Gurindji continued. Many men were hired as mercenaries for the assassination of various tribesmen. Meanwhile, a large military camp had been constructed for the training of many men. The people accepted Yagan Gulpilil as their true Emperor and allowed Islam to spread. Mil Turn and Eco Turn.
 * Gurindji: Extensive work on developing Gurindji continued. Plans were being made to construct a University for the people. Meanwhile, a large military camp had been constructed for the training of many men. The people accepted Yagan Gulpilil as their true Emperor and allowed Islam to spread. Mil Turn and Eco Turn.
 * Timorid - Urdustan Diplomacy: The offer by Urdustan is hereby accepted and Urdustan are allowed to have access to the Timorid ports in exchange for the sale of warships

This year, they voyage into the Adelheid Sea, catching tons of arctic char and salmon. Meanwhile, Ungava is now connected to the main Empire by a corridor of territory, so the need for seperate administration is no longer existent and Ungava is annexed. The populationc ontinues to explode, reaching 160,000. As a result, several hundred settlers express the desire to find less cramped territories with less competition for fur.

With trade routes increasing and Croatia entering an era of peace and of stability, the development of new trade ships is issued. Both the Ban and the King begin supporting urbanization and the spread of free cities, much to the disagreement of the Sabor. The Brothers of the Raven continue spreading their influence in Croatia. Stone mining is furthered as well as the timber industry. The need for these resources rises as urbanization carries on. The navy, under command of the King and the First Admiral is developed due to the purchase of Britannic ships which are inspected and introduced into the Royal War Navy of Croatia or HKRM (Hrvatska Kraljevska Ratna Mornarica). Iron ores in Dugopolje, Zenice and alas the 'mud' ore in Vojvodina and eastern Slavonia are to be exploited alongside the silver and copper ores more frequent and of better quality than the iron ores.

All fortifications around the region are rebuilt and manned by stationed guards in case of an attack. To protect Melilla the construction of a fortress outside the city is considered, although postponed for now. The port of Melilla is rebuilt to begin operation as a trade port and military outpost. Construction continues on a shipyard in the Melilla port to facilitate the construction and repair of friendly ships. Melilla is granted a permanent naval garrison in the city’s port, to respond to dangers in the area and to support the small garrison on land who mans the fortifications. Our position in Morocco is fortified by re-inforcements, bringing Melilla operational against attacks. For now a small fleet is stationed in its harbor, while its garrison continues to hold the north and its supply lines, supporting our Christian brethren.

Many Europeans, particularly of German descent and/or from central Europe begin settling the area around Melilla. With finances from Augsburg-based banking establishments, the Trieste Company continues to launch expeditions to West Africa. Abrechtburg has grown to a decently sized settlement, supporting a population of farmers, traders and a small garrison of soldiers.

New crops continue to enter into several plantations, opium and cannabis. With the increasing popularity of wood-block printing, works in Urdu/Hindi are created and stored in large amounts, in order to further cement the change in Urdustan. To continue the conversion of his Sultanate to an Empire, plans for statues and gardens are drawn up, to build a sort of cult of personality around the current emperor, and affirm to the people of Urdustan that he is the leader, and he is the law. Efforts to better the military continue with a mandatory rearming of the noble levies, with the Emperor offering to pay half the costs per noble, and with any noble refusing to do so, being met with increasingly less beneficial trade interaction by other nobles and foreign merchants. The plans for a colony are back on, and scouting merchant ships are searching for suitable locations. The Islamitization of Urdustan continues from an increase in missionary activity.
 * Rajya of Orissa (Uṛīsā kē rājya, اڑیسہ کی بادشاہی): Kalua Deva continues to listen to his advisers and bring about several reforms to his nation that make it more Islamic friendly, one of which is new, and calls for the creation of one mosque for each Hindu temple in the name of tolerance, when in reality, his advisers have prescribed this to bring about larger Islamic influence. Training of levies by Bengali advisors continues.
 * Swargadeo of Kamarupa (Grēṭara asama kē rājya, گریٹر آسام کی بادشاہی): Now vassalized by Bengal, the Swargadeo of Ahom continues to receive extensive help in creating viable farmland. They do this by continuing a process of land reclamation in the northern part of the state, which is largely marshy and thinly populated. This process of reclamation begins by using dikes, embankments and irrigation systems. The land reclamation, having been going on for decades, is extremely successful in creating viable farmland for rice, grain and other staple crops, increasing Kamarupa's population and their yearly trade output. Training of levies by Bengali advisors continues.
 * Scandinavian Empire: Hostilities in Hamburg begin to cease as the nation slowly but surely surrenders. The Treaty of Regisbug has yet to be signed, but hostilities have ceased for the most part. During this time, Scandinavia decides that attempting to vassalize the Mohicans should be put off for a later time. Instead, Scandinavia begins vassalizing Selebar, which is expected to be finished by 1454 (turn 1 of 3).
 * Brandenburg: The military is reorganized to accommodate Scandinavian arms and tactics. Training begins for new recruits as forts are reopened or rebuilt.

 * Strombek: Expansion down the St Lawrence river earns 2000 sq km for Strombek. The militia is improved.
 * Vinland: The vassalization of the Mohicans becomes talk of the colony. The colony wonders whether or not the Mohicans will join Vinland or become a new vassal completely. Either way, Vinland begins expanding to the west by 2000 sq km. The militia is expanded.

 * Damascan Sultanate: Sulimen, the official Sultan of the Damascan Sultanate sends support to the Safavids, to fight them, and to Anatolia to help the rebels and convince them to join back into the sultanate. Sulimen II now at the age of 30 begins training to become a regent sultan, and takes over in Kurdistan. Sulimen takes charge of the Damascan Sultanate.. He does exceedingly well with speeding the restoration of Damascus, and promoting much migration to the great city. We cease vassalizing Makuria and Alodia. Damascus now numbers 314,000. Damascus has grown huge now, and continues to as it is now the  largest city in the Damascan Sultanate. The military is expanded. The government has not fallen as it has undergone change in leadership, a new location, and a new name, although has changed the titles, but not the heart. Antioch's population grows to 201,000. Sulimen II requests a bride to unite the Sahtarakka family with other royal families. Sulimen III is passed on command of the Imperial forces in Anatolia, and begins aiding the rebels, to fight the Imperial Roman influences. With our new lands in Persia, we begin expanding their infrastructure, in order to build a strong industry and forts and towns. Centralization begins. The people begin rallying to Islam. Arabs and Turks alike, although on somewhat neutral terms seem to be getting along. Although most of the Sultanate sees itself as an Arabic nation, the Turks begin slowly migrating to the Tartary, as a known haven for Turks. In Kurdistan, the Turks begin to slow their chaotic behavior with the leverlocked equipped Janissaries entering the newly conquered territory. As an Arab nation now begins to enter the land with good Turk relation the people seem to be more happy. With the royal family hanged, the vassal begins establish Sulimen II as its new ruler who sees over the large new land in Persia. The infrastructure expands. Centralization begins. Soldiers continue pushing into Safavid lands. With loss of land in Anatolia, the only vassals still under firm control are Diyabakir and the Karamanian Sultanate. Ankara begins slipping out of the Sultans grasp, more military troops are sent to reinforce the Turks and Arabs which reside there, and fight back any Roman-Greek influence. Spices and salt are sent to the Malaccan Sultanate. Sulimen is elected the new Sultan of the UIN. A meeting is set up in Baghdad, and a council vote in Damascus. Damascus is declared the new trading capital for the UIN. We begin modernizing our guns. We recieve more ships (snaphaunces) from Malacca in return for glass and textiles. Sulimen has a second son named Allahdrashda.
 * Karamanian Sultanate (vassal of the Damascan Sultanate): Karaman finally pushes the last of the Greeks out and into Izmir and Burdur. More Arabs flock to Karaman. Military expands as a small city is beginning to form in Karaman, it is called by Kabubekr. It boasts a number of around 72,000. The vassal contines centralization and soon will be merging into the Damascan Sultanate.
 * Diyabakir (vassal of the Damascan Sultanate): The vassal sends more support to Ankara in order for it to not slip into rebel hands. Military is expanded, and troops are sent to Ankara to kill any Greek or a few Turkic rebels which would force the state to question itself. More Turks flock to the Tartary, as more Arabs are slowly moved into Diyabakir. The region begins merging into the Damascan Sultanate.
 * Ankara (vassal of the Damascan Sultanate): Turks and Arab citizens are requested to show people whom have betrayed the land and are acting as spies. The infrastructure is expanded as reparations are made on devastated neighborhoods and towns. The revolts and rebellions begin to stop. Ankara's population suffers as Greeks and Christians move to Bursa and Azkridesha. Turks go to the Tartary.  Moderate  amounts of Arabs move into Ankara.
 * Azerbaijan (vassal of the Damascan Sultanate): The northern land is given to the Tartary, due to their good relations and acceptance and tolerance of Islam. Infrastructure expands. Centralization begins. The region begins merging into the Damascan Sultanate.
 * Palestine (vassal of the Damascan Sultanate): A census is taken to find the population of Jerusalem alone. Jerusalem holds a total of 203,000. And slowly falls with the fighting between the Jews, Muslims and Christians. Sultan Sulimen sends his brother, Sulimen II in with an army of 25,000 Janissaries to fortify the city, and ensure no more chaos or fighting takes place. The people feel safe, yet also principled with the forces now in the city. Infrastructure is expanded to repair the damage to the city. Sultan Sulimen, leader of the Damascan Sultanate, announces that Jerusalem will continue to be a unified city for all religions, and all are welcome to use the city for religious purposes.
 * Korea: Korea continues to build up its military. Meanwhile, more Taoist, Neo-Confucian and Buddhist temples are built. Taoism rises in popularity and gains more followers. Regular (read: not Imperial) Shinto gains a few more followers as well, mainly along the coastline in Southeastern Korea, particularly in Busan, Jejudo and Ulsan.
 * Sultanate of Timor: The wheat surplus continued to increase and spices were sold to the Dutch merchants. The population was booming and many mosques were built for the people to worship in. The extensive work on developing Timor's navy and military had proved beneficial after the Dutch had started providing the Marrikuwuyanga with their warships for the Marrikuwuyanga to examine and build. A great majority of Marrikuwuyangan warships were present at Timor with most of them having more than 40 cannons present. With merchants and now clergy arriving to Timor from the Mataram Sultanate, Islam started to spread among the natives. One of the member of the Supreme Council of Eight who himself had converted to Islam made sure the Emperor was not informed of the spread of the Abrahamic religion. Many ships carrying soldiers, priests and farmers arrive at South West Guinea to settle in the region. The natives of Guinea who try to oppose the Marrikuwuyanga are attacked and enslaved although those that convert to Islam are spared. At least 83% of the people had converted to Islam by now. With the Yadaist forces having finally surrendered, the Timorid marched into mainland Marrikuwuyanga where the people greeted the Timorids as heroes. The remaining members of the Supreme Council were all captured and executed, and the people were informed about the lies of Yadaism, and introduced to Islam. Our relations with the Dutch and public sentiment regarding Dutch deteriorates slightly. We start to vassalize the lower Sunda islands surrounding or near Timor (Turn Four of Six). The interim government is overthrown by the heir to the throne Yagan Gulpilil and his trusted his, Mutah. Yagan Gulpilil is officially granted the title of Sultan Yagan Gulpilil and himself signs the agreement with Urdustan. Infra Turn and Eco Turn. Sultan Yagan Gulpilil changes his name to Sultan Yaghnam Gulpilil although he is still referred to as Yagan by those close to him
 * State of Tapu: The fighting had finally ended and the people of Tapu celebrated for peace had been brought back to their lands. Islam had already been introduced to the people and it had spread like lightning through the people for indeed, the Yadaist Gods had proved helpless whilst the Yadaist military fell to the Muslim army and many people accepted Islam. A great number of temples and idols were brought down and replaced with mosques. Eco Turn and Mil Turn
 * Marrikuwuyanga: The wheat surplus had steadily increased which had allowed the Marrikuwuyanga to increase their population. The Marrikuwuyangan economy was steadily growing after the shock it had faced when the Ayutthaya faced rebellion. The Marrikuwuyangan economy was the strongest in the region and hundreds of men from other tribal states would migrate to Marrikuwuyanga annually to live in better conditions. The Marrikuwuyanga now produced muskets in large number, although training in using spears was still provided. The development of a cannon brought a new era for the Marrikuwuyangans who had never seen such a decisive weapon. The navy is developed. A university that had been built a few years ago was utilised by people to study and learn. After extensive work on developing the living standards of the people since the time of Emperor Benelong Gulpilil, the Emperor had successfully managed to replace almost all of Marrikuwuyangan grass huts with either mud huts (36%) or mud brick houses (64%). Despite suffering heavy losses and still not surrendering, the people revolted against the authority and broke into the Royal Palace where the 12 year old Emperor Dosuririri Gulpilil was lynched by a mob and the Supreme Council members were all captured. The Timorid forces were allowed to march to the war-time Capital and the people proclaimed allegiance to the true Emperor Yagan Gulpilil. Islam was introduced to the people, and many accepted it because the Yadaist Gods had proved helpless whilst the Yadaist army suffered heavy losses to the Muslims. We expand 100 px East Eco Turn and Mil Turn
 * Gini (Guinea): Immigrants from Timor continued to settle at South - East Guinea [10 px] and were protected from the tribes of Guinea by a small force of 100 men, equipped with spears and firearms. Indeed, not all the tribes were hostile to the Timorid immigrants and with the help of some, the people of Timor were able to learn how to grow various crops not found on Australia and were also able to learn about the history of the island, of how it had been previous enslaved by the Majapahit. With the war with the Yadaist over, the settlement at Gini continued to spread and Muslim missionaries were sent to different parts of Gini. Meanwhile, the settlement expanded by 100 px Eco Turn and Mil Turn.
 * Mudbarra: Extensive work on developing Gurindji continued. Many men were hired as mercenaries for the assassination of various tribesmen. Meanwhile, a large military camp had been constructed for the training of many men. Yadaism has large fallen while Islam is on the rise. Mil Turn and Eco Turn.
 * Gurindji: Extensive work on developing Gurindji continued. Plans were being made to construct a University for the people. Meanwhile, a large military camp had been constructed for the training of many men. Yadaism has large fallen while Islam is on a rise. Mil Turn and Eco Turn.
 * Timorid - Urdustan Relations: Trade has finally begun between the two states and the Timorid navy have started to replace the old Dutch warships with the much stronger ones bought from Urdustan. The Emperor is keen on improving the relations further with Urdustan and adopts the Urdustan calendar
 * Timorid - Malay/Malacca Diplomacy: Emperor Yagan Gulpilil himself arrives to meet with the Malay King. The Malay are first congratulated for having broken themselves free from the chains that bound it to the oppressive Buddhist Ayutthaya. Sultan Yagan Gulpilil also discuss the anti - Dutch sentiment that is on the rise on both Timor and Malay, and also discusses showing the Dutch the strength of Timor and Malay, so as to prevent the Dutch from attempting to threaten or humiliate us in the future
 * |onte: Continues to have a large surplus of grain and rice. Though adopting "western farming", the idea of "the tribe" is still very much so alive, as people always share the crops they have grown, or the animals they have hunted amongst the community. Due to the policy of planting tree groves, desert reclamation has started taking serious effect in some parts of |onte. This year has resulted in sixty elephants being killed. The new expansion to the elephant pen is completed. |onte's population rises to over 283,000. There is a population centre that is beginning to appear around the mouth of the Kunene, and is simply referred to as Kunene. Mon IV ups his expansion north to 300 sq km (6 pixels) with the newly equipped Eheresito hu Kunene. Mon III continues combining the many narratives heard into one coherent story, called the Sahaka, and takes on the project of Mon II. Mon V brings books from |onte to !Xoonte as a gift, and a few gifts of ivory hoping to improve relations with their King, and spread |on culture. Mon V beggins teaching the King of Zimbabwe about the many wonders of literature and |on, along with giving him many gifts.


 * Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth: Exploration of the New World continues with the Nowa Wspólnota Firma now arriving back at the Imperial Sea, they reach the Prussian colony of Neo Pommern and begin to stock up on supplies for their voyage back to the Commonwealth. However, a messenger was sent by the crown to tell Adomas Klimas to remain at Neu Pommern for several years to draw out the maps of the newly explored areas. A ship sent by the Imperial Commonwealth Navy arrives in Neu Pommern to give Adomas Klimas a chest full of money in order to pay for staying in the area. The ship sent then arrives back to the Commonwealth by the end of the year. Troops continue to be sent to the border with the Rus’ in a preparation stance in the case of their army crossing the border. Siege equipment, such as ladders, cannons, towers, and pontoon bridges are stockpiled in the east. At least two more 64 cannon galleons are constructed with three 32 gun frigates. Military development continues as well as the development of new naval vessels.
 * France: Military, navy and economy are built up. The colony continues expanding and growing by 700 sq km among both colonies into the galapago islands called Illes d'neptune The colonies continue growing as expected. The colony of Nouvelle Rouen continues to expand eastward by 4000 sq km. The government decides to move on the Dutch reformists by allowing to remain on the French territory, however, putting some taxes for allowing them free passage in French land. However, the French government makes clear that their beliefs are with  Catholicism and that any attempt of violent expansion will be considered as an act of aggression and hence the Dutch-Wallon reformist may be persecuted. The colony in Kenya continues expanding by 300 sq km. Mining continues in the colony of Nouevelle Orleans in the area of OTL Cundinamarca in the search of the Aureana - a city made of gold - in the vicinity of several lakes although not finding the city lots of gold gods are found and sent to France in order to boost the economy back on its feet. Mining begins in the Pirouien mountains and the region of Equatoriale Province for gold and silver though only a few are found. The colony of Nouvelle Orleans divides in five provinces New Orleans OTL northern Colombia and Antioquia Sableville in north western Venezuela, Equatoriale in southwest Colombia and Aurienne in the central areas and Emeraldia in central eastern Colombia. After years of ignoring an important part of the treaty France decides helping austria to rebuild initiating in the area of Tyrol and Western Austria due to close proximity to French Rhineland gold begins entering the economy of the country from  Colombian and Peruvian mines. A colony is established Saint Louis d'Africa continues expanding by 250. Infrastructure is built up as well as navy.
 * Kingdom of Rhineland: Military and economy are built up. Infrastructure is built up as well as navy.
 * Kingdom of Lower Burgundy: Military and economy are built up. Infrastructure is built up as well as navy.
 * Sardinia: Military and economy are built up. Infrastructure is built up as well as navy.
 * Andorra:  Military and economy are built up. Infrastructure is built up
 * Africa:Military and economy are built up. Infrastructure is built up as well as navy.
 * French Mali: Military and economy are built up.
 * Hispania: The Spanish populace reaches about 14 million and growing thanks to in large part of the inplementation of learned Incan farming methods, and the incorporation of some of the new american staple crops into Spanish diet. The economy, thanks to the aggressive colonialism, continues to expand immensely and the Spanish economy becomes the most powerful in Europe passing the French economy by leaps and bounds with the massive influx of gold, silver and jewels contributing heavily. The armed forces continue their push to remain the most modern and begins to build a host of new ships to replace older ones which are sold to its vassals, trade companies and other territories of the Empire. The Parliament engages in a vote to annex Lombardy and her vassals into the Empire and continues the occupation. With the war coming to a close, Hispania and her empire transfer relics requested by the Romans to Constantinople. The Spanish fleet is also at a solid 500 warships as well with many being war galleons, and frigates with more upgrades being made more periodically. The Colonial Expansion act is expanded to include New Granada which as a recent but heavily expanding colony requires the extra funding. With the expansion of the Hispanian bank to all colonies, and the Protectorate of Inca the investments begin to flow out into the empire investing in the expansion of colonial infrastructure, expansion of colonial economies, and expansion of the most profitable Colonial industries. The Empire itself begins to show healthier signs of recovery as many people are put to work in building the wall, agriculture, and other industries as well. This begins show an upward trend in employment in Spain but is also stimulated by some subsidies given to people that wish to go to colonies to set up there. The Colonial expansion act has increased the amount of settlers leaving for protectorates and colonies each year with population growth in spain being stunted due to this. The Hispanian economy however is boosted by the increases in shipbuilding for trade, expansion of cash crops for trade, the large scale developments in Spain of cities growing lawger and supporting more work, and the expansion of many jobs throughout the empire. The Empire itself however begins importing raw material from colonies to meet demands for the full scale replacement for weapons and the growing military industry in Spain. The Gold and silver influx into Spain economy has fully restabilized the Reals free fall and shortage of gold and silver for coins, and Banks however begin a small practice of printing paper notes backed by gold to test how this works within the Spanish economy. The Influx of Spices, Sugar, Raw Materials, Tobacco, other cash crops, and Bullion have greatly recovered the Spanish economy. The Real begins to resurge in purchasing power as the Spanish economy begins to see fruits of its labor so to speak from its diversifying economy.
 * Kingdom of Italy:  Italy reaches its troop amount of 30,000 with it being armed and trained by Spanish troops in tactics. The Italian army is expanded moderately with some naval ships being purchased to replace losses. However, the Invulnerable Spanish army discourages any from speaking their mind and most deal with the relatively benevolent rule of the Spanish. The Italian navy reaches nearly 200 ships and growing. Some Hispanicized Italians (Italians who have adopted Spanish culture) are allowed to settle in the Spanish colonies. Some smaller towns and cities in coastal Italy see the first real merging of Spanish and Italian culture. The Kingdom of Italy shows a new prominent gun maker known as Ferdinand Auditore, a man of mixed Spanish and Italian descent. The Walls of the Alps are put under construction to using labor from some of the economically depressed northern states in Italy recently annexed to Hispania in the war. The walls is partially funded by all the capable Italian states and is expected to be done within eight years due to fortifications already existing in the many mountain passes, and the relatively easy way the Italian walls could be finished in the Alps.
 * Savoy: The economy, thanks to trade with Spain, expands moderately. The people of Savoy begin to work toward building up a trade fleet now at 120 ships. The military stands at about 10,000.
 * Genoa: Genoa's armed forces reach about 12,000. These people continue to find ways to live under the Spanish empire in a more prosperous way, by establishing multiple trade companies. These companies begin to be common throughout Spanish lands as the Genoans begin to build up a trade fleet of a sizable amount now at 100 ships. 15,000 troops are sent with a decent amount being mercenaries.
 * Kingdom of Lombardy: The New King Phillip (King of Spain) is installed on the throne of Lombardy as his military leadership will be needed in the kingdom and the crown is tied with the Spanish one just as the Italian crown is. With this he begins a process towards rebuilding the economy and military of the kingdom. The military is a raised force of 25,000 with many of them being pro-Spanish Hispanicized Italians which have been rapidly spreading across Italy. The population of Lombardy is at an estimated 1.5 million and counting. The Nations economy is now in a process of integration into the Hispanian economy.
 * Modena: The nation of Modena's government is but up as the Barony of Modena and its military is improved significantly under the Spanish umbrella as they get a new slew of modern arms among other things. The economy of Modena is also expanded as the state begins to consolidate itself under Spain's trade umbrella. Its military forces are expanded to about 5000.
 * Ravenna: Ravenna now known as the Barony of Ravenna is expanded economically heavy under Spain's trade umbrella as the majority of the Italian region has come under Spain's control. The military is also expanded as the city receives arms from Spain and Italy. Its armed forces reach a size of about 6000 and the military is drilled in Spanish tactics.
 * Vatican City: Vatican City is re-instated as the Pope requested a small enclave of the Papacy for himself. Wielding considerable influence the current Pope seeing Spanish advances deems it the will of God and declares the Spanish rule in Italy is one of the biggest acts of peace and prosperity seen on the peninsula since the Roman empire itself. The Vatican State recruits a series of guards to protect themselves and begins the process of adding many things to the Papal palace and beginning to root out corruption in the churches of the City of Rome and many other places in Italy.
 * Kingdom of Morocco: The country continues the construction of various canals and cultivates trees farther inland to help increase arable farmland. The Moroccan economy continues to expand with greater trade coming from Spain and the Canaries all the way down to Capo Verde increasing the relative wealth. The Kingdom, with many canals having been completed, has vastly expanded its farmland among other things. Morocco's total population is 1.8 million with Christianity becoming dominant in the area. The Moroccan Assassins Guild forms and spreads keeping the peace and killing the corrupt as well as making Morocco much more peaceful for Spain. The Moroccan navy increases to nearly 130 ships. Morocco's economy continues to boom as the major canal projects have turned some of Morocco's harshes areas into incredibly useful farmland and for the first time in recorded history the area is covered in green farmland, trees and grasses.
 * Kongo: The Kingdom begins to work toward a trade and production economy focusing on helping provide resources for Castile's burgeoning West African trade network. The King of the Kongo converting to Christianity and being baptised begins to call for the expansion of ports to the best of the Kongolese architects' abilities. The Kingdom of the Kongo in an attempt to increase economic output and trade begins to export a large amount of raw materials to Castile and begins to push toward heavy exploitation methods. The Kongo, unable to expand any farther up the river and with sizeable amounts of territory lost to local inland tribes, abandons a large amount of territory with no intent in coming years to reclaim but maintains that the entirety of the river and its basin is under the jurisdiction and claim of the Kongo and its Hispanian monarchs.
 * Mapuche: The Mapuche people begin to see the first mixed children between Spanish and Mapuche people. The Spanish institute the Ecomienda system. However, the Spanish governor, in order to keep control of the people, orders the Spanish heads of the system to treat the natives fairly in order to prevent mass deaths from overworking and resentment. Spanish farming techniques have definitely prevented starvation as the Mapuche continue to expand toward the coast building a road to connect it all. The Spanish governor, also using the local Mapuche as scouts, is able to expand much more than the Buenos Aires colony and uses this to his advantage to secure more land to be able to turn over to Spanish settlers. The Royal Governor ramps up expansion for some of the new plantation owners setting up expanding the the territory by 2500 sq km.
 * Morelia: The former Mayan kingdom is renamed Morelia by the royal governor to reflect its new Spanish culture as thousands of settlers have settled in the major cities with the population reaching about 675,000 in total with a large amount of traders and people from across Europe reaching an insightful priest says that destroying the cities will result in long term resentment that could never be repaired and instead they should be made Spanish-Maya hybrid. The new Royal Governor seeing wisdom in this declares that the cities will not be ransacked and a moderate tribute of gold and silver is demanded by the Spanish. The 2000 troops remain in the country and begin to establish areas along the coast suitable for Spanish settlement. The military and economy of the Maya under Spain is developed and roads are upgraded to Spanish standards. The Spanish begin to sponsor settlers in Morelia to begin expanding on the continent down the coast. (2500 sq km). The Island of Cuba is cultivated for sugar as Spain begins looking for more trade income rather than just total income from gold.
 * Aztecs: Spanish  continue their Ecomienda system from the Mapuche in the south to the Aztec areas to extract gold and silver. Along with this many of the remaining Aztec people become infected decreasing population further. The economy of the Aztecs becomes entirely reliant on the Spanish Empire and the military remains non-existent with areas being occupied by Zapotec and remaining Spanish forces. However, its garrison is made up of Spanish forces who are settling the territory. Almost 50,000 Spaniards live in the Aztec nation. The royal governor is appointed and after conversation with Morelias governor decides eventually he will embark on a large expansion campaign up the Mexican area. The Aztecs expand by 2500 sq km.
 * Mission of Galicia: Set up by a few opportunistic Spaniards the Mission of New Galicia is set up in the diorganized Colorado territories using newly subjugated natives as a base for this (this is a vassal set up out of the disorganized colorado territory). Many of the Coloradans are happy for some semblance of organization and the mission is set up to expand through the well known colorado territories for trade supplies, or to come across settlements with which to trade. The Republic immediately begins to expand through the territory seeking for trade goods (50 px) This Mission (a church for the sole purpose of converting) is more or less turned into a small town with the Church at the center but with many heavily armed Spanish guarding the fort's walls and keeping the surrounding territory around.
 * Kingdom of Venezia: With the establishment of the Kingdom of Venezia following the previous war and with the loss of a large portion of the fleet the Venezian people seem to believe that much can be rebuilt through utilization of the dynamically rising Spanish empire for its own benefit. The businessmen and high level economists, bankers and multiple other fully knowledgeable individuals of Venezia remaining after the war go on a trip to Spain's vibrant trade cities and after careful negotiations many of these men take over one of Spain's newest rising trade companies, the Buenos Aires trade company, with some offices based out of the Buenos Aires colony in Hesperia. The Venezians, unable to select a king from their remaining nobles, delegate to the Queen of Spain (Castile and Aragon) who chooses a man named Antonio Lo Grato to rule as Prince of Venice in place of the Queen of Spain. A well acclaimed and respected man, he immediately enacts reforms. The Venezian economy with access to the Spanish economy begins to recover and for the first time in years due to this. The Venezians begins its long road to naval recovery and begins to use its vast knowledge to begin building ships not only for itself but acquires the blueprints to improve on Spanish ships to allow for sale back to the Queen. The Venezian military is also raised to a token force of about 10,000 due to its location but remains lightly armed and unable to project power or fight any unsupported offensives. The Prince of Venezia, Antonio, begins the drift toward Spanish culture.
 * Viceroyalty of New Spain: The Viceroyalty of new Spain is established with a massive amount of coastal territory secured begins to expand its major settlements seriously with Buenos Aires maintaining the most with nearly 45,000 people but stagnating as more people are settling the country side and establishign new towns and cities. The colony proper reaches nearly 550,000 in population seeing large amounts of Colonial immigration now from both Spain and Hispanicized Italians. The viceroy in order to expand the food supply of the large colony expands cattle ranching and agriculture in certain areas.. The Spanish inhabitants of the colonies form more militias under command of a Spanish officer which is trained only to fight off native attacks. The Colony specifically expands 50 px  The viceroyalty seems extremely happy with the colonial status and support it's received from Spain as well as the massive re-investment for the betterment of the colony giving a huge boost to the construction of a few forts and a road system. The first ships begin to arrive from Spain African colonies bringing goods and a few slaves. Ranching is taken up by men previously accustomed to this in Spain. The Colony begins to grow tobacco in the upper regions of the colony justy north of Buenos aires as a result of the diversification demanded by Spain. The money income from this for the private growers leaves nobody complaining however. The attack on Buenos aires leaves many shaken however the veterans of the Uruguay campaign find out relatively easily that they were one of the final large bands of hostile rogue natives in the area and they manage to pursue the others and force a surrender or offer an agreement to go live in Vorlyacor rather than be subject to Spanish Colonialism.
 * Cape Ferdinand: The Cape Ferdinand colony expands its population hoping to attract more settlers. The population of Cape Ferdinand reaches 65,000 colonists. The area itself begins to show up as a trade hub. Zulu Africans in the area begin being contacted with missionaries looking to speak to these people. The expansion of colonists in the area is truly more along the lines of some Zulus who have been converted and contracted by the local colonists. This has led to Many of them being recruited as colonial troops for their very warlike tendencies and well recognized attribute of following strong and powerful leaders of which the CMA sends only these to command the zulu troops.
 * New Granada: The  colony of New Granada formerly San Francisco sees more immigration but has become a sort of hub for Colonial adminstration fleets coming through the area to trade and explore as well as a staging point for those looking to sail to the Philippines hoping to reach them via the Pacific Ocean. The colony itself expands by 25 px. The colony's population expands to around 15,000 as the colony continues to grow in importance and the agriculture begins to take precendence especially in the areas above the colony of San Francisco. The Establishment of Wineries and even terrace farming for food begins in the San Lorenzo Valley and the surrounding mountains. The Wineries are considered a lucrative cash crop and the Colonists take great pride in growing them in the area.
 * Philippines: Spanish continue to establish majority control over the area through trade and other means. The Spanish then begin to send in a royal governor who makes plans to expand the island nation, and begins work on its economy and military to do so. Gold and silver from Spain is sent to facilitate buying materials to build up the area as the Philippines are garrisoned by mercenaries hired by Spain and nearly 300 of Spain's most well trained troops but the forces are expanded to about 5000 using locally trained soldiers or more mercenaries. The Philippines is built up as a massive trade and naval base and a fleet of Spanish ships sent from here make more trips to Central Borealia with Spain becoming the first nation to connect a trade route along the entire planet. This trip begins to gradually shift towards new Granada. The Colony itself. The Philippines lower their expansion per Spanish order as the potential for hostile natives and other threats in the area has led to a switch in policy as well as the movement of nearly 1000 spaniards and a fleet of nearly 20 warships to the area preventing any force from attacking unless they beat the spanish by sea
 * Protectorate of Oyo:  The extraction economy of the protectorate increases and the royal governor makes quotas much less demanding allowing the people to actually live somewhat rather than be in a bond of virtual slavery. The Military forces in the area are augmented with newer weaponry and are some of the most advanced troops in the region. The Protectorate exports many cash crops, metals, and precious goods to Spain
 * Chile: The few hundred Spanish settlers who established some terraced farms and a small town expand settlements in the mountains to avoid earthquakes and other acts of God.. The area is militarily supported by the CMA located in the Inca and a force of about 1500 is used to maintain order in the area. The Chilean royal governor along with the Colonial authority begins to increase the economy of the area and is planning on a period of expansion coming up in the next few years. Chile begins its first year of expansion south heading 2500 sq km south to meet up with the Spaniards which used the Mapuche for their own expansion for Pacific ports.
 * East African Protectorates: The Territories are consolidated under the Colonial Administration Authority as the East African protectorates. These nations remain fully semi-autonomous under their own governments and do not answer to Madagasikara, but to Hispania and her Colonial Administration Authority. The Colonial Authority makes it a major directive in the area to keep these states happy and encourages the expanded trade of the local league to boost economy. The Protectorates each maintain about three-to-five separate small to moderately sized independent armed forces nearing a force of about 30,000 total between all the protectorates and are used for local peacekeeping, and promoting better relations between all the states. This military is also outfitted with older Spanish equipment and is trained in older but still effective tactics. With colonial Authority in place, and the Colonial Military Administration keeping the areas from devolving into a regional arms race between the protectorates the area is effectively administered as a singular entity under the Administration, with each state keeping its local culture, customs, and minor armed forces. The Colonial Military Administration does take extra care in keeping these forces loyal and small, having more to gain by serving with Spain rather than for nationalistic purposes.
 * L'nu Empire: The ancient Yaldan dies, leaving no surviving heirs. As the Thirty-One Sachems argue over who is to succeed him, gaps between Christians and Shamanists widen, finally boiling over into rioting. The  military splits along religious lines, as several Sachems raise armies and march on the capital, tryign to seize the seat of power. The Brittannian representative is killed (great pretext for intervention there) as the armies fight for the city, leaving it in flames. Meanwhile, the Cree of Aksimiki and the Mohawk revolt, massacring L'nu representatives. As winter settles in, the nation's harvest lies rotting in the fields, leavign tens of thousands to starve and the nation in chaos.
 * OOC: It was fun while it lasted. By the way, I hope Scandinavia becomes an Austrian vassal. 

''Mansurryian Sultanate: In order to rebuild and centralize the nation, Sultan Amir continues the Rebuldment Era under the Mosque Model. Infra Turn.''
 * Austria: This turn in both our nation and the nations of Bohemia, Moravia, Lusatia, Salzburg, Augsburg, and our colonial territories and possessions is dedicated to military. We train and expand our military using new experience from recent wars, and grow our nation economically. In Morocco our position in Melilla is fortified. All fortifications around the region are rebuilt and manned by stationed guards in case of an attack. To protect Melilla the construction of a fortress outside the city is considered, although postponed for now. The port of Melilla is rebuilt to begin operation as a trade port and military outpost. Construction continues on a shipyard in the Melilla port to facilitate the construction and repair of friendly ships. Melilla is granted a permanent naval garrison in the city’s port, to respond to dangers in the area and to support the small garrison on land who mans the fortifications. Our position in Morocco is fortified by re-inforcements, bringing Melilla operational against attacks. For now a small fleet is stationed in its harbor, while its garrison continues to hold the north and its supply lines, supporting our Christian brethren. With much of the Muslim population of Melilla left dead after the war against Morocco, the local government attempts to entice settlers by offering large quantities of land to Christian settlers. Many Europeans, particularly of German descent and/or from central Europe begin settling the area around Melilla. With finances from Augsburg-based banking establishments, the Trieste Company continues to launch expeditions to West Africa. Abrechtburg has grown to a decently sized settlement, supporting a population of farmers, traders and a small garrison of soldiers. The town also houses a well furbished fort, armed with a small amount of cannons intended to defend the settlement and the harbor from any attack. Built out of necessity, the port at Abrechtburg is refurbished and expanded to support more trade ships, and allied countries are welcomed to trade and stay in the town. The second largest settlement in Westenland, Dominusburg, follows suit, finishing the construction of a port similar to Abrechtburg‘s. Trade posts continue to be built and exploited, now numbering several dozen along the coast of Westenland and into allied territory. Our reliance on the Wolof becomes less so, but we sign a trade agreement with their nation to continue our positive relationship. Deals are made with the Wolof for slaves and other goods. Conversion of the natives begin around the settlement. Several ships begin construction in Melilla, and other ports, to further facilitate and protect overseas trade. Trade is increased with the Grand Duchy of Bavaria and other trade partners, bringing about new avenues of trade and commerce. Expeditions to the New World continue to increase trade with Spanish possessions, establishing a trade route between Westenland and colonies in the Yucatan. Trade posts in the Caribbean are expanded and grow as they become more frequently visited. A trade agreement is signed with the local Nacotchtank people, who we begin to trade goods with. The settlement continues to grow and with the construction of a fort complete, the first settlers begin moving to the island. Schlossburg, and the area around it, expands. Settlers explore areas along the large river in the area, which they name the Ehrbar River (OTL Potomac). The Ehrbar settlements begin expanding northward. A more permanent trade post is established in Schlossburg, with fortifications being complete. The town of Schlossburg is declared the center of the territory of Reichland, which continues to expand. After our war with France, we continue to recover, as destroyed infrastructure continues to be rebuilt.

 * Prussia: The Prussians continue to develop their economy. The Prussians continue to build their navy. Prussia continues to Germanize their ethnic minorities.
 * Courland: The Curonians also continue developing their economy.
 * Estland: Estland also continues developing their economy.
 * Neu Pommern: The Polish explorer is given aid in acting as a cartographer in the region, as new maps would benefit both parties. A new wave of migrants comes, mainly Poles, Estonians, and Lithuanians, further infusing the Neu Pommern culture with a strange variety of words and pronunciations. A steady stream of molasses from Cuba continues to flow into Neu Pommern via commerce and piracy (mostly piracy) which is then made into premium rum which flows out of Neu Pommern via commerce and piracy (mostly commerce), continuing to fuel the powerful economy of the colony. Meanwhile, an equilibrium of trade had occured with Britannian New Guerney, as Neu Pommeranians do seem to be loving that coffee, and New Guerneyens seem to enjoy Neu Pommern oranges. We decide to begin senting Native sabotuers and spies over the border into the Cahokian sphere in attempt to destabalize the sphere in the region, and perhaps sway some tribes into joining with Neu Pommern. We expand inland 20 px.
 * The Empire of Britannia: Many ships are modernized and replaced to keep the British Royal Navy a powerful force on the high seas. Port Edmundburg continues to experience a growth in population. The British Navy continues the construction of frigates and galleons. Plans to upgrade other parts of the navy are continued. Port Katrina continues to expand. Britannia also fully adopts the snaphaunce rifle. The parliament forms the Crown Colonial Authority to better monitor Britannia's colonial holdings. The CCA expands control in Africa. Construction of two large galleons, both with 200 guns commences, the Sovereign and the Intrepid, making them the largest vessels ever attempted by a European nation, work is expected to take the better part of a decade. The first frigates of the Rome deal sets sail for its new home in Constantinople. Several older ships are sold to Croatia and other nations to make way for the modern ships. In London, in effort to preserve beer, a local brewer names James Walsh, adopts glass as a method of sealing in the beer, thus preserving it. The massive war Galleons Sovereign and Intrepid are completed. The HMS Royale, a 368-gun war galleon with added mortar capabilities is also completed and sent to Ghana. Port William expands 1000 sq km around the coast of New Guerney (OTL Hispaniola). Several cities including Plymouth and Edinburgh see massive expansion and beautification works. Plymouth sees new brownstone houses to support the growing British middle class. The University of Plymouth sees more intellectuals espousing wild and radical suggestions and begin championing rational though through the whole of Plymouth and into mainland Britannia. London sees a renewal of the arts, with modern architecture being found throughout the city. One artist proposed having ornate and beautiful fountains throughout the city. His plans were accepted as part of an urban renewal plan. Soon the capital of the Empire will be known as the City of Fountains. London sees such a growth and change thanks to the growing wealth of the Empire, the city begins developing a reputation as a forward thinking city entrapped in beauty and thought. The Westminster Exchange begins allowing greater freedom in stocks and adopts the Dutch method of joint stocks. Gerard Pictman creates the first "accurate" projection of the Earth on maps called the Pictman Map Projection. The Empire sees this new map and orders its adaptation. Troops are moved in the Port Katrina area as tensions with neighbors grow. The Spire of St Paul's continues being repaired. After the events of Norwich, the parliament relents and grants greater freedoms to land owners. The nation begins becoming a major center of arms construction. The L'nu's request is accepted but only three ships instead of five are given due to the tensions in Europe. (as a note to the L'nu I am not Albion anymore but Britannia, please use the correct name).Emperor William III declares humanitarian aid to Austria in the form of loans from the Bank of Britannia as well as builders and artisans to help with repair work. Rome is asked if the Bank of Britannia could set up a branch in Constantinople. The recent outbreak of hostilities between Hamburg and Scandinavia push the parliament to pass an act that allows better freedom in military affairs. In the meantime, the British economy begins to experience an unprecedented boom. Emperor William leaves Prime Minster John Reynolds as regent as he leaves on a diplomatic and humantiarian mission through war torn Europe, providing supplies and aid as well as praying for the souls of each region, He travels through France, spends some time in Oldenburg before travelling on to Austria, where he does much of his aid. Many in the Church are impressed by his selfless acts of charity toward those that suffered the "Great Conflict". Patriarch Manuel of Canterbury declares Emperor Williams act as a Holy Pilgrimage and sends letters to the Pope in Rome asking that he be recognised for his efforts. After several years abroad, Emperor William comes home to a large welcome and fanfare.

 * Tawatinsuyu: Economy improves. The Inca government begins to quash the National's attacks against the Empire. Roughly 5% of the Inca population supports the nationals, with another 60% supporting the government. The remaining 30% are neutral. Population across the empire hits 1,100,000. Chimu remains the largest city in the empire (120,000) with Qusqo coming in second (95,000), followed by Peru (26,000), Machu Picchu (24,000) and Sican (13,000). Chimu and Sican remain isolated culturally when compared with the rest of the empire. The Inca begin to push east as well. The areas taken in the push east are organized into the Willkapampa Wamani. The areas between the Wanka Wamani and Chimorsuyu are also incorporated into the empire. The total size of the army hits 29,000. Apeac I gives birth to his second child, a son, who takes the name or his father. The number of districts, or Wamani, in the empire is ten. They are, in decreasing order of population: Hanan Qosqo (287,000), Hurin Nazca (202,000), Hurin Qosquo (110,000),  Wanka (92,000), Hanan Nazca (80,000), Hurin Chimor (64,000), Anti Chimor (60,000), Aymara (56,000), Willkapampa (12,000), and La Paz (7000).

Not every district falls under one of the Suyu. Following an attack on the La Paz settlement, it comes under direct control of the Inca government. The southern border expands to absorb it, making it into the La Paz district. The capital is founded as New Burgundy, to represent a large French minority in the empire, in OTL La Paz. Germans, who have been an ignored minority for years, are to be rounded up and forceably moved to a new city. The process will take roughly three years to complete. With the creation of the Hesperian League, the Inca economy begins to expand and ties with Vorlyclayr begin to deepen. Following the deepening ties with Spain, the Nationals movement re-emerges, mostly in the eastern frontier.
 * Chiribaya Wamani: The Inca occupation of Chiribaya ends as a new capital is formed. The Capital is named Chirbaya Qosqo, (Chiribaya Central) and is located in OTL Tacna.

 * All three of those weapons mentioned in the end of your turn haven't been created until the early/mid 1600s. Flag of Romania.svgToţi în unu; Nihil Sine DeoFlag of Romania.svg
 * Kingdom of Croatia: Croatia focuses primarily on its military. Trade routes are strengthened after and the salt mines around Tuzla are explored as well as the salt industry in Pag and Nin. Using irrigation from the Danube, Sava, Drava, Drina, Cetina, Una, Vrbaš, Kupa, Neretva and other rivers the fields in the kingdom are developed, used for crops such as wheat, rye and barley. With trade routes increasing and Croatia entering an era of peace and of stability, the development of new trade ships is issued. Both the Ban and the King begin supporting urbanization and the spread of free cities, much to the disagreement of the Sabor. The Brothers of the Raven continue spreading their influence in Croatia. Stone mining is furthered as well as the timber industry. The need for these resources rises as urbanization carries on. The navy, under command of the King and the First Admiral is developed due to the purchase of Britannic ships which are inspected and introduced into the Royal War Navy of Croatia or HKRM (Hrvatska Kraljevska Ratna Mornarica). Iron ores in Dugopolje, Zenice and alas the 'mud' ore in Vojvodina and eastern Slavonia are to be exploited alongside the silver and copper ores more frequent and of better quality than the iron ores. The exploitation of iron ores in the Lika and Gorski kotar areas continues. Due to the receiveing of Britannic ships the navy has significantly improved.
 * Knyazdom of Slovenia: Ulrich also supports Croat writers in Slovenia who write in the Slovenian dialect of Croatia. Furthermore the economy is primarily developed through the wood refineries and iron mines.

 * Pskov economy increases. After compiling census results, they shall follow as soon as I reach a computer.
 * Roman Empire: The Empire slowly begins to crawl out of the economic crisis that the war with Austria has left it in. Loans from Ragusa have helped to ease the burderns facing the economy, and Theodore III has also reformed various economic regulations to ease through business and make tax collection more efficient. This is joined with a crackdown on monetary corruption in the court, with members being caught being forced to pay a fine. The offer of the Greeks in Anatolia is once again accepted, for several reasons. One, the increase in Imperial citizens would increase the tax base that funds can be raised. Two, pilgrimages to the Monastery of St John the Apostle and the House of Mary at Ephesus would increase imperial revenue as well. The Imperial Army moves 10,000 soldiers to the lands once again, figuring that the cost of such troops can be supported locally and the Greek militias will defend the rest. Supplies are also sent to help its ally Scandinavia defeat the Hamburgian forces in Northern Germany. Despite this, the Empire needs more funds to keep up with managing its costs, and so asks for loans from its allies. The offer of the Romanians is also accepted on the basis of needing more money in the treasury. With the economical situation handled for the year, Theodore III responds to the request of the Tatary, stating that Prince Thomas would be happy to marry Princess Anna and that Princess Maria is coming of age and needs a husband. Troops and supplies are sent to aid the Urdus in their war and protect Roman property in that area. A colony ship bound for the colonies sails off course, and eventually reaches OTL Sable island. They get shipwrecked there. After a week or so, a naval scout ship from Atlantis finds them and brings them new supplies. The colonists eventually decide to stay, with some saying the shipwreck was destiny. As a few houses are built, farming and fishing become the only real occupations, and a governor is appointed as part of the Atlantis province.
 * Serbia: The Serbian military begins to learn new tactics like volley fire and rotating ranks from Roman officers, and over time most of the military is now competant in the tactic. The Serbian military is now capable of raising at least 50,000 men total.
 * ​Ragusa: The republic continues to offer funds to the Romans in order to preserve Roman protection. The Ragusan trade fleet continues to sail around the world to gather new trade goods.

 * Roanoke: The colony continues to grow cash crops like rice, cotton, tobacco, and hemp, all of which generate a healthy profit for the colony and the Empire. As the capital of Reme expands to a population of at least 1500, new buildings and defences are constructed. Immigration to the colony is healthy due to the rich profits of the cash crops. The colony expands north and south by 10 pixels each.
 * Powhatan: As cash crops, namely tobacco, continue to be planted and grown, more and more colonists immigrate to the colony. The colony expands south and east by ten pixels each.
 * Vorlayacor: The military is the focus of the nation's spare resources this year. Military doraks are upgraded and thousands of cannons and advanced snaphaunces are manufactured to aid the troops; the snaphaunces go to the cavalry corps and the cannons replace the aging ones on the entire fleet.  Integration of new, Tapuia-dominated provinces continues, as they are given members of the Grand Council to elect; there are now 20 Council members for 20 states of Vorlayacor. Infrastructure upgrades, particularly the road system in the northwest, are completed. We ask the Roman Empire if they would be willing to trade us galleasses for Hesperian crops such as banana and corn.
 * Southern Persia:  In order to rebuild and centralize the nation, Governeror Ghalib continues the  Mosque Model. The decree that states that any Persian/Shi'a survivors of the Great Safavid War shall be proctected so long as they agree to co-operate with the new government is still in place.  The encouragement of ethnic Shi'as and Persians are to immigrate to their holy city of Qom also continues as well as encouragement of ethnic Sunnis and Mansurryians to come to Southern Persia. It is decided to not split Southern Persia into three, but instead to install trusted people to manage key cities (mainly Isfahan, Shiraz and Ahvaz) and to oversee certain territories of Southern Persia.  '


 * The Consulate of Romania: Vladimir, now 46, resumes growing the economy and making the military stronger. The recent wars and land purchases have taken their toll on the national budget, Vladimir begins to implement a plan that will reduce spending significantly. Meanwhile the economy is shakily growing, as land development halts. Constanta fabrică de Tun, continues developing its cannons, a new design is tested, where a Culverini is mounted on significantly larger wheels. this allows for better mobility, but makes it more dangerous to fire the cannon. The cannons produced and developed at the factory begin to make the company quite rich and powerful. The company begins to develop a new form of cannons, the Culverini. The new guns are tested on a Sunbeci, and prove to be exceptionally accurate for naval guns, however the large Culverini are too heavy for the smaller Sunbeci. More work must be done to refine the cannons, but they are developing well. A redesigned Culverini, the Mic-Culverini is tested on a Sunbeci. The test is extremely positive as the redesigned cannons are smaller and much more portable than the full size Culverini. The Sunbeci continue to be developed, the craft is tested and exceeds expectations. The navy requests funding to pay for a fleet of 50 to be built over the next few decades, the project is rescheduled to finish in 1576 due to the war in Anatolia. Each ship will displace 200 tons, and carry 40 cannons of varying length and caliber. More disputes occur in the senate. Aside from the politicking of the capital much work is put into strengthening bonds with Transylvania, and thousands of Romanians travel to the new province.Pressure from Catholics in Transylvania begins to mount, as religious diversity leads to some conflict.

Trade increases and continues with the Spanish. The Emperor expands roadways connecting cities in the alliance to help merchants and soldiers move freer between them. The military, which had been outdated for many years, continues to be upgraded. The economy booms with trade as a result of the roads. Naval technology is rapidly advanced under the Spanish with an advancing fleet of 25 light and medium ships purchased from Spain. The Emperor orders more to be manufactured to bring in goods from the sea. Itzapam continues prospering under Zapotecan rule, improving their military. Zapoteca expands 50 px north with the help of Spanish explorers.
 * Kingdom of Bavaria: In 1573, Bavaria expands its economy. Due to the large amounts of land freed from Austria in the Second Franco-Austrian War, Queen Catherine sees an opportunity. Beginning in 1567, The Queen begins petitioning the lords of Württemberg/Swabia for tribute and manpower, aiming to eventually vassalize them (Turn Seven  of Eight (adding another three years due to the delay of the Treaty of Paris)).

To begin, the vassalization of Württemberg continues. The Acts of Domain of 1567 go into full effect, declaring Bavaria a Kingdom, and setting out new titles for the Monarch and the immediate family. Apart from news concerning governmental structure, Catherine gets the idea to further unite all of her realms. She does this by drawing up plans to synthesize all of the various German dialects in her dominion and introduce a common dialect, most likely that of her native Bavarian dialect most commonly spoken around Landshut and Munchen. In diplomatic news, Catherine ponders funding French-held Rhenish lands to recover from the recent Austrian war. The Britannic state visit is welcomed whole-heartedly. The visit, taken place during the summer, coincides with the coronation ceremony for Catherine. Catherine is crowned as the first Queen of Bavaria, to much fanfare and celebration. She promises to the Britannic King that the relations between the two countries will only ever get stronger in the coming years. Bavaria ends the war on Hamburg, and begins the treaty making process.

Several cogs are constructed, and plans are drafted to construct many larger ships. Several modern warships and trade vessels begin construction at Bremen Port.
 * In Mississippia, the wave of disease that began in 1570 have effectively ended, with a total death count of about 400,000 Mississippians. Almost all of them were from the state of Cahokia, but the wealth in the state prevents a drop in population. In response to the dreadful attacks on the border, Great Chief Christophe the Christian declares war on the raiding tribes. He utilizes the powerful canoe navy to rampage through the raiding nations' lands, and forces their leaders to swear fealty to the Chief of Etowah, into which state they are integrated. More and more often, French men marry Mississippian women. These mixed marriages have about seven children on average while normal marriages produce only 5. Many missionaries continue to work in the regions owned by the Sioux and Algonquin peoples. Great Chief Christophe the Christian makes it quite clear that we are open to new states joining the Confederation. The medicine men spread our culture in Sioux and Algonquin lands. Jean-Frances Desjardin continues to oversee the reproduction of horses, and also sees the importation of newer breeds. A project is underway to create the fastest and best enduring breed possible. Some Europeans continue to arrive in the nation; increasingly these immigrants are Greeks who are interested in economic gains. The work on a navy continues, with canoes being built throughout the Gichigami and along the Mississippia, as well as on the off-shoot rivers. The Kankakee-Gichigami Canal (1589) and Allegheny-Genesee Canal (1586) are both under construction. The Confederate States of Cahokia, Moundville,Etowah, Parkin, Odawa, and Santee expand their militaries, while the states also undergo some expansion.
 * County of Oldenburg: The economy cotinues to improve, and the OHG is back to normal operational levels, with good whaling, fishing, and furring profits. In Neu Norderney, people are distressed by the collapse of the L'nu, and the Landwehr is put on alert.
 * Prince-Bishopric of Osnabruck: University student numbers remain steady. Infrastructure is improved, and the Osnabruck-Oldenburg Highway is given repairs.
