Please, keep the map in its original resolution (1,356 × 739 pixels in size), and use the paint bucket tool as well...

Duely noted, I will keep that in mind in the future.

Okay, from here on out, here are some new rules: Sorry to be so harsh, but this is to prevent confusion and so to edit the maps easier; and to prevent any advantages from being taken.
 * If you miss a few years, and the next time you return, do not make turns in previous years and just make a turn on the current year.
 * If you upload a map and its not in its original resolution (1,356 × 739 pixels in size), the map and the turn you made will then be ignored; especially if you made a turn on the year you missed.

'''alright, it wont happen again. DeanSims 16:09, October 28, 2011 (UTC)'''

'''I'm confused, some of the maps reverted back but the text remains. Is that rubbish going to remain & he gets away with it? Or is it changing back as if it never happened? I'd prefer the later to be true full VonGlusenburg  (talk to Von!) 16:15, October 28, 2011 (UTC).'''

1552

 * Japan thanks Italy for the cattle; and in return sends some Sushi, Okonomiyaki, Teriyaki, Yakitori, and some other Japanese food to Italy. Japan sends envoys to Persia to establish closer ties. Meanwhile, Japan improves their infrastructure, builds up their military, and continues building Taipei; as well as offering Sweden (the country in Bright Blue; see year 1482 for reference) a protection treaty to protect them from any threats as well, and Sweden agrees.


 * Persia also establishes an alliance with Sweden, Poland (that yellow country in east Europe I think is Poland anyways :P) and the Cossack Tsardom (small brown country, I just made up a name for it :P) and the four nations come up with a plan to invade the blue country in-between them all. The invasion of Volgagrad?(again just making up a name) begins from all sides of the nation from the alliance. Persia also pledges support for its allies against the growing UESR.
 * UESR: The UESR invades and conquers the small Baltic strip of a nation on the Baltic coast and also lands troops in Norway, taking the Norweign capital and forcing it to be annexed by the UESR. Both newly conquered nations are given seats in the UESR Congress. The same fate meets the small truquoise country, I will call it Bismark, and the new conquests and representaives from these new areas boosts UESR moral hugely. Persia is offerd Arabia to look the other way so the UESR can attack Poland.
 * Map wasn't 1,356 × 739 pixels in size so turn ignored and Also to add to the rule, not having map in 1,356 × 739 pixels will also result in a natural disaster and/or some form of dissary or something for your country for next year.


 * I can I also just throw out there that their isn't a country known as Russia. That big blue country is Sweeden & I have an alliance with them. I also don't own Poland I am just an ally of Poland. A war with any of the countries in alliance with Persia (Italy, Japan, Sweeden (the big blue one in OTL Russia), Poland(the yellow one in eastern Europe), and the Cossack Tsardom (that small brown country)) will mean a war with Persia; unless Persia is given something to look the other way.... VonGlusenburg  (talk to Von!) 15:16, October 30, 2011 (UTC)

1553
''A tornado out-break occurs in in the British Isles. A few powerful tornadoes that are above 330kph cause massive damage and one of them tears apart Birmingham and another hits Bristol. Meanwhile a weak typhoon hits the British area of the Arabian Peninsula, and causes some minor damage.''


 * Japan improves their infrastructure, builds up their military, and continues building Taipei. Japan also builds more harbours.


 * The invasion of Volgagrad by the four nation alliane of Persia, Sweeden, Poland and the Cossack Tsardom continues, and Volgagrad seems unable to deal with the four nation alliance's multi-front attack and the war is predicted to be over soon due to Volgagrad's difficultly in waging a multiple front war, especially against these powerful nations like Sweeden, Persia & Poland. Persian mapmakers also set about planning a map to be made to show how Volgagrad will be split up between the four nations (basically I'll make the map of how I want Volgagrad dividing; I'll do this next turn when the war will be over VonGlusenburg  (talk to Von!) 15:24, October 30, 2011 (UTC)).


 * UESR: Arabia is ceded to Persia so it will hopefully look the other way in the UESR attack on Poland. Construction to fix the damage begins in the Britsh Isles. All of Polish Volograd will become Persian.

1554

 * Japan improves their infrastructure, builds up their military, and continues building Taipei. Japan also builds more ships, houses; and builds some more Shinto shrines in Karafuto and Hokkaidō.


 * UESR: The UESR invades Poland and easily takes Warsaw, the Polish capital, forcing Poland to be annexed and become a UESR member Republic. All of Polish Volograd is ceded to Persia as a gift and an UESR-Persian alliance is proposed to divide all of "uncivilized" Europe, Asia, and the Middle East between them. PS, can someone make a map so I dont get my turns removed please? DeanSims 16:44, October 30, 2011 (UTC)


 * Persia gratefully accepts the UESR's offer of Arabia and the an alliance. The invasion of Volgagrad ends, but Polish war crimes are uncovered and Persia condemns Poland by nullifying the two nation's alliance and taking away Poland's winnings from the Volgagrad war. After this action and subsequent Persian-Polish tensions increasing ten-fold, Persia hears about the UESR's invasion of Poland, and gives the UESR it's seal of approval to invasion of Poland in order to stop this potential threat to Persian national security. The Cossack Tsardom is also invaded after they started to speak against the Persian's and their abandonment of their former ally of Poland. Sweden seeing this, keeps there mouth shut and continues friendly relations with Persia. Persian mapmakers finish the partition of Volgagrad, as seen in the map opposite, which also doubles as the map of the world in 1554.

1555

 * Japan halts the building of Taipei for now and Japan builds up their military and builds lots more ships. Japan, worried about what could happen, Japan rushes and sends lots and lots of ships to India and Denmark to help protect the nations. Meanwhile, Japan also sends some military into Sweden to help along with them and to ensure that Sweden is and remains protected. Japan wants to make sure India, Sweden, and Denmark is protected and have them be remained as free nations and not under occupation of another.


 * UESR: The UESR invades the blue and yellow nations to its north and south and easily overwhelms them, annexing them and turning them into member Republics. Plans to invade Norway are started.
 * Von and Imperium Guy will play as me while I am gone for a week. DeanSims 18:18, October 30, 2011 (UTC)


 * Persia consolidates its latest gains in OTL Russia and tries to get the people of these new lands to obey there new Persian overlords. Persia also assures Japan that India, Sweden & Denmark are safe by forming alliances with India and Denmark to add to it's alliances with Sweden, Japan, UESR and Italy. Persia also begins to orchestrate a scheme in partnership with various pan-Scandinavian unionist groups in which Norway, Denmark & Sweden will rejoin again to reform the Kalmar Union. Persia asks for Japan's help in this matter as Japan are also allies of these Scandinavian nations.

1556

 * Japan agrees and helps organise a meeting with Sweden, Denmark, and Norway and discusses a possibility for the 3 Scandinavian countries to form/reform a new Kalmar Union. They agree and soon, the 2nd Kalmar Union is formed. Japan still continues to help protect them however. Meanwhile, Japan builds up their military some more and continues building Taipei.

*UESR: UESR troops land in Norway, and as it is very thinly populated, easily occupy the country and annex it, giving it republic status in the UESR. The Era of Peace begins.
 * Just read the above two posts, Norway is now part of the Kalmar Union so you can't invade Norway. Well, technically you can but it'd be against the Kalmar Union, who is backed up by Italy, Japan & Persia. Unstrike it if you want to still invade, but remember you'll face the wrath of the Quad-alliance.


 * Persia thanks Japan for its efforts in recreating the Kalmar Union. The Kalmar Union is added to the triple alliance of Italy, Japan and Persia in order to form the Quad-alliance. Persian sailors also discover the island of Bermuda and uses it as a stopping point for trade routes across the Atlantic to America, however it also allows it's allies use of the island to stop off during sea journeys. A large prison is also built on the island to send the worst Persian convicts over to (similar to Britain & Australia in OTL).

1557

 * Japan builds up their military some more and builds more ships; and the building of Taipei resumes.
 * Italy takes Spain, Portugal and Greece to be its protectorates, Italy gives the small portoin of land it still had in OTL Yemen to Persia. Italy warns the UERS that if they attack Norway, Italy and its allies, will take it as a declaration of war. Meanwhile the Italian project of breeding a corn species that grows in drought is a success, these species are given to Persia and Japan.

1558

 * Italy divides the church from the government, makeing the pope only a spiritual leader, so that scientific research doesn't have to please the church. Christianity is still an important part of Italian culture, but disagreement is allowed. Italy amps up its military.


 * Japan builds up their military some more and builds more ships; and the building of Taipei continues. Japan builds more Shinto shrines in Honshū and Kyūshū; and they also thank Italy for the grain and sends them some Teriyaki and Okonomiyaki.


 * Persia thanks Italy for the land in Yemen & the grain; Persia sends exotic spices from Arabia to Italy to help them spice up their pasta dishes.
