 * British colonies expand along the Columbia Gorge and into the Snake River Valley, both of which are primarily settled by Scots.


 * Scandinavia begins to expand their navy, and founds a Marine Corps for both ship-to-ship fighting and amphibious operations.


 * Denmark, with tehnical help from the Heanestics, develop a primitive sea mine, and plan to string the Great Belt with them in case of war with anybody. Scandinavia also begins to produce them in small numbers to protect Skagens Odde from amphibious assault or bombardment.


 * The Heanestics continue to fortify the Elbe, and place several fortresses along the Weser, planning to completely fortify it later. Several small merchantmen are bought, reefitted with iron plating and primitive armored turrets, and anchored it the mouths of both rivers, enabling them to take out anything short of a man-of-war coming down the river.


 * Navarre begins large-scale production of various standard weapons and military equipment, hoping to become much like OTL Taiwan in terms of their economy and manufacturing skills.


 * Portugal continues to place fortifications along the Inca border, while they negotiate a pact of non-agression with France and Spain.


 * North Africa colonizes and (begins to) fortify Sao Tome and Malabo.


 * The British Group (mainly Britain itself) begins to supply the Hussite League in order to ensure that the Gemanics don't gain power in the Mediteranian.

1648
Shaung I of China traveled all across the Chinese Empire, learning about the conditions of his country. Shaung was appaled at how underdeveloped and under-efficent most of China was. Emperor Shaung I brought in European and Indian experts and established the Royal Privy Council, filled with these experts, for advice on how to improve China.

Scandinavia and Muscovy both establish embassies in Peking, and send many experts on health and engineering in an act of good faith.

The Hussite League forcefully annexes Serbia after Bohemian and Itailan reinforcements arrive and retake the coastline. In order to ensure that nothing of the sort happens again, Hungary reforms it's language and economy, as well as forcing all children to learn Hungarian, in an effort to replicate Bohemia's unity laws.

1649
Shaung I of China, with the assistance of Scandinavian and Muscovite experts, established the Chinese School of Engineering and the Chinese School of Medicine and Health. Both schools were staffed by foreign professors. Grants for poor Chinese students to attend these schools were provided.

Several high placed ministers attempt to assassinate Shaung, because they believe he is undermining traditional Confuscian ideas. After the assassination attempt failed, they retreat to the countryside and begin to raise a rebel army.

1650
To insure a rebellion never happens again, Shaung the Great reformed and reorganized China's military. A new standing army was established, uniform training for all soldiers introduced, and a new discipline system set up. Shaung also introduced European military technology and strategy. He also provided pensions to all soldiers after their five-year service time was up. By the end of the year, the Chinese Army is the most powerful in East Asia. They were loyal to only Shaung the Great. Shaung then used his new army to crush the rebellious ministers.

Habsburg sends thousands of troops armed with new muskets and cannons to invade Egypt via their North African territory and also send their navy to blockade and invade the many Egyptian ports.

1651
Emperor Shaung I reformed Chinese agriculture. All Chinese slaves were liberated and given "freedom money", all farms were reorganized, new farming technologies and techniques were introduced, and agricultural efficency was tripled. Shaung I also reduced the power of the nobles by forcing them to hand over one-half of their estates to lower-class people and by also forcing them to pay taxes.

Habsburg encourages the other Germanic nations to also invade Egypt, this works and soon Prussia and Wurzburg begin to send troops to also invade the southern part of Egypt.

Okay, I will re-write it

1652
Shaung I reformed the Chinese civil service. More common people were recurited to fill the ranks, and education was provided to all people over the age of 6 to help create a new civil service. Shaung divided China into provie (provinces), 10 of them total, each lead by a Governor appointed and dismissed directly by the Emperor. Shaung instated more efficent civil service qualifications. He also further reduced the power of the nobles by forcing them to serve in the military and requiring them to act as Shaung's "Personal Servants" for at least five months out of the year.

The British Group, spearheaded by the Heanestics, together create a unified economic policy to ensure that the allied govermnents all remain the economic powerhouses they are. Taxes are lowered on all citizens, while the new "corporations" that are springing up everywere among the BG have their taxes lowered as well. Due to private management and high profits, these corporations begin to dominate the economy of Europe (not just the BG corps, but corporations elsewere). In order to encourage economic growth, Scandinavia, Denmark, and Navarre completely privatize their economies.

Brunswick and Hesse begin to expand their border fortifications.

Scandinavia begins to outsource many of their support facilities for the military, such as dump logistics and rear-end medical treatments, to loyal Scandinavian corporations. As slow communication speed prevents the rise of large corporations, most outsourced fields are dominated by competing local companies, ensuring the best product/service for the lowest price. Due to these quality-improving and cost-cutting policies, the Scandinavian logistics and rear command systems are becoming some of the best in the European world. This also frees up troops for combat, and the Scandinavian forces rival Hapsburg in numerical superiority on land, while their navy, combined with Denmark's, is shaping up to be more than a match for the Prussians.

The Anatolian Alliance joins the British Group. They realize buy joining the BG, they can increase presence in the world and increase in trade.

Baldurism makes minor inroads in Greenland and Iceland. Chapels spring up in many large European cities, with Amsterdam having a Balduristic congregation of over 3,000.

The Germanic Alliance finishes up their conquest of Egypt, the members of the alliance divide Egypt up into three equal pieces, Habsburg gets the southern third, Prussia is given the north, and Wurzburg is given the middle lands, each are given multiple ports with which they can build up their navies in.

1653
Shaung I of China converted to Roman Catholicism. The emperor allowed the practice of any religion. He also gave women the right to hold property, hold a job, and hold and vote for public office. Shaung I also forced Chinese men to wear European clothing and hold European style-parties and balls. Shaung allowed women to attend these social balls and he also ordered every Chinese man to cut their hair. He also mandated the use of European cosmetics, jewerly, and cosmetics. I am not even playing this and I have a HUGE problem with this: not only will 90% of EVERY CHINESE MAN not like this, but most of the army wont either.....I have read ALL previously said things about China if you are wondering, and I know my "global" history; this wouldn't have happened peacefully

The Sassanid Empire joins the Germanic Alliance.

To keep themselves well defended against the Hussite and British Group, the governements of the European members of the Germanic Alliance all sign a document called the United Germanic Alliance Pact, the parts of the pact are divided into five councils of 3 people, three from Habsburg, Prussia, and Wurzburg. These include a council on trade and economics, one on defense and military, and one on politics, law, and one on treaties and federal documents. The pact defines an almost common ecnomy with huge amounts of trade, a united military system with staff system, elected military chiefs and conscription of troops, and finally a common code of law to be adopted by the governments in regards on mainly federal level crimes.

1654
Shaung I of China cut further on the power of the nobles by forcing them to pay more taxes and also by forcing them to act as common soldiers, not as officers.

The members of the Germanic Pact send foodstuffs and supplies to the Sassanid Empire to help defend them against the territorial ambitions of the Anatolian states.

1655
Shaung I of China intiated economic reforms. He encouraged trade with India and the Middle East, allowed private ownership of companies, implaced early commerce regulations, and organized China's first simplified tax code. Shaung I also opened Chinese ports to European and Indian trade, and he encouraged the production and export of Chinese porcelain, silk, rice, tea, and furs.

The Germanic Pact members now begin to build a series of roads and bridges that are protected by stationed troops, this is so the merchants and traders can travel freely and safely between the countries and also as a way to station their troops against foreign and domestic raiders.

Give me time, and I will add maps soon..

'''Please remember to change the capital every five years. Just change the black dot grey and the next one black. London is fairly obvious, New London is in Great Guyana, Carolinatopia is in Cascadia and New Edinburgh is in New Scotland. The order for the capitol change is London to New London to Carolinatopia to New Edinburgh back to London.'''
 * Areas of Alatschenland become Provinces.
 * Great Britain and Japan prepare for an all out assault on Hawaii
 * The British Territories in Alatschenland are completely altered into Provinces.
 * Explorers discover gold in the Yukon. Various people scurry to take advantage of the find. Bohemia and Great Britain establish a number of waystations in land.
 * Overpopulation problems in the British waystations to Muscovite Alatschenland lead to a greater number being built thought the agreement about transfer of sovereignty is maintained.
 * To foster unity in the Provinces of the Empire, the name is changed from the United Provinces of Great Britain to the United British Provinces.
 * Immigration to the Territories of the Empire from many countries is encouraged
 * London prepares for the transfer of the capitol to New London. King Erik is making a speech declaring the union has never been stronger when he is assassinated by a Prussian expat. He dies and the throne is passed to his son Carl. King Carl is to be crowned in New London, the first monarch of the United British Provinces to be crowned outside of the British Isles.
 * A charter is granted to the Scots settling in North America to create New Scotland. Its capital New Edinburgh will be put into the cycle after Carolinatopia. The black border represents its border with Cascadia. The pink border is its charter claim area.
