The Rules

 * 1) I will start the game a bit different.
 * 2) The game will start on Dec. 23, or year 1816. Start delayed until at least one user took a nation from the Stockholm alliance list. Remember everybody have got some good sides and some bad sides, so don't hesitate. And you have allies from the list as well.

1816
'''Mod event: Russia prepares for Swedish invasion with a naval fleet of 20 ships and 700,000 troops. Denmark and the Netherlands sign a mutual defense treaty.'''
 * Bavaria HM King Maximillian decides to improve the royal Bavarian army, and orders an inspection of its current state. He also begins a nation building campaign to unite the different cultures and religions into one solid nation under his rule.
 * Sweden Charles XIII is unhappy with the spread of Catholicism in the Finnish lands, and blames the growing Russian influence in the area. 230,000 troops, 65,000 irregular cavalry and 40 cannons begin to assemble in forts at the Swedish-Russian border in anticipation of a planned attack on the Catholic threat. Sweden seeks to open an embassy to the Ottoman Empire to strengthen relations between the two nations.
 * United Kingdom: Due to the cost of the war from on the continent and the heavy impact on trade, several new laws are passed through parliment in order to protect British buisnesses while the army is reduced in size, with the money taken from its budget to be spent on the Navy instead. The Leeds to Liverpool canal is completed and a monument to Admiral Nelson is built in Edinburough. British foriegn policy is decided as preserving the "balance of power in Europe, while trying not to become intangled in any major alliances".
 * Belgium: Fearful of the Netherlands' alliance with Denmark, Belgium asks Sweden for an alliance to counter the Netherlands' treaty. Belgium begins working on their industry, seeking to become a great industrial power.
 * Sweden is happy to form an alliance, but wonders why there is cause for concern in the Dutch-Danish coalition. We are all Protestant countries and should be combating the ignorant Catholics, not each other.
 * Belgium believes that the Netherlands may be jealous of their lost lands (us), but we are happy to negotiate with them.
 * Sweden agrees to form an alliance and keep an eye of the Netherlands in future.
 * Piedmont-Sardinia: Offers France unrestricted military access as well as gold and a royal marriage in exchange for the island of Corsica. Piedmont-Sardania also begins building of the navy and offers higher wages for sailors, and increases size of its army. Also Piedmont-Sardania begins to hire privateers to harass ships in the Baltic Sea to disrupt trade.
 * France: We accept your Gold military access and royal marriage with pleasure
 * Greece rebels from Ottoman rule, and a small independent Greek state is founded near Kalamata. The Greeks continue to expand their small country. Greece also asks for recognition from other states, both Catholic and Protestant.
 * Sweden recognises the new state and sends four fine courtesans for the Greek royalty as a gift.
 * Piedmont-Sardinia recognizes Greece as a state and offers a trade agreement as well as sends funds to combat the Ottomans.
 * France:we will aid you in any way we can,
 * Bavaria Offers aid to Greece, and the king offers his brother, 21 year old Karl-Theodore as a candidate to be king of Greece. (A similar thing happened otl.)
 * Papal States: The Pope requests a trade agreement to Piedmont-Sardinia, Naples and the Austrian Empire, claming that the Italian peninsula should be together in the future times. Investiments were made in industries around Rome and to the development of the military. The Pope called all the catholic nations to a conference in Rome to discuss a possible help to the Greek rebels.
 * Piedmont-Sardinia accepts the trade agreement.
 * France: We will aid the greeks, to fight for their independence, with the sole condition for them to take Constantinople, while this we ask spain to cede louisiana to France and the army begins building up, France declares neutrality in any future conflict outside the Greek independence, and if they take the Nova roma we will openly enter their independence war
 * No colonial changes until 1835. Pavillion (talk) 11:57, December 24, 2012 (UTC)
 * Denmark:.Asks to join Swedens alliance with Belgium hoping Netherlands will revoke all claims on Flemmish land. Prepares to aid Sweden against Russia sends a fleet of 25 ships as well as 600,000 infantry men. Begins a massive navy build-up, as like their army.
 * Sweden happily forms an alliance with Denmark, and thanks them for their military assistance.

1816.5
'''Mod event: The Netherlands claim the Danish - Dutch alliance to simply be a continuation of the alliance that already exist. It wishes to offer mutual defense agreement to all Protestants. The Russian Tsar suddenly dies and the new Tsar prepare for attack on the Ottomans.'''

Someone pls do the map for me. I'm away for one or two days. Laptop_Zombie 13:12, December 24, 2012 (UTC)

I added the Greek state - let me know if they're any problems. Pavillion (talk) 13:53, December 24, 2012 (UTC)

If the yellowish orangish state in Southern Germany is meant to be Bavaria, then I must admit it is way too big. Could someone perhaps change it to the otl post-Vienna Congress borders, found here, as I don't want an unfair or unrealistic advantage, and such a spread-out and multi-ethnic/religious nation will be hard to govern. Thanks, Callumthered (talk) 07:39, December 25, 2012 (UTC)

I was under the impression that it was not just Bavaria, but all Catholic states of the HRE. Nevertheless, it should not be that big and will change it after Christmas dinner :3 Pavillion (talk) 11:12, December 25, 2012 (UTC)

It was at first meant to be representing all Protestants - allied German states


 * Sweden: The navy's presence in the Baltic Sea is strengthened, while troops begin to march on Saint Petersburg and Danish ships bombard the docks of the city. Research into railroads begin.
 * Belgium: We join the Protestant alliance happily, ready to assist any nation in the alliance as needed. We recognize the Greek state. We begin working on military, and research into primitive factories begin.
 * Denmark: Danish ships land on Russia. Mass waves of troops march through the cities, burning every city they pass to the ground. Research begins on railroads also.
 * Piedmont-Sardinia: The number of hired pirates and privateers in the Baltic increases greatly in response to the Protestant invasion of Russia, meanwhile the newly increase navy and army are used to invade northern Tunisia . As this happens modernization begins and forts are being built in the mountainous and hilly regions of the country.
 * Tunisia was part of the Ottoman Empire in 1816. Pavillion (talk) 00:54, December 25, 2012 (UTC)
 * My bad Daxus Inferno (talk) 03:43, December 25, 2012 (UTC)Daxus Inferno
 * Papal States: The Pope condemns the Sweden-Denmark attack on Russia, but don't enter the war. He also recognizes Greece as a independent nation and offer naval support to the new country but requests a trade agreement. The Pope also announced the creation of a Mercenary Corps inside the Papal Army and started recruitment inside Papal States and plan to recruit also outside. He also plans to start researches with Papal scientists and created the Papal Center of Science, offering Piedmont-Sardinia to join the researches to improve the speed of researches in both nations
 * Piedmont-Sardninia: We accept the invitation.
 * Greece thanks all the states that have helped it in the revolt against the Ottomans, and agrees to all trade agreement offers. A capital is founded in Kalamata, and the Greeks push north on the western side of the Peloponnese towards Araxos.
 * Bavarian D HM again offers his brother as a candidate to be king of Greece, and also offers 2000 Bavarian troops to assist the Greeks.
 * Russian Diplomacy: Offers the Greeks to join our alliance, as we are the closest major force to crush the Ottoman Empire, and could help build your military up.
 * France:we continue asking the greeks to do a fast push in the ottoman empire and take over constantinople or a major victory agains't the ottomans if you succede we will aid you at achieving and keeping independence
 * Russian Empire: A messenger is sent to all of Russia's allies, asking for their help in fighting off the Protestant threat, as they have invaded our great Empire. The Imperial Russian Army is authorized to fight back against the Swedish and Danish attacks near the Baltic Territories. An attack on the Ottoman Empire is considered bad timing by many Royal experts, saying that the Swedish and Danish will likely enlist their Alliance against our vast territory. However, there is still a massive reserve for the Imperial Russian Empire, the current Tsar says, saying that they plan to enlist soldiers from the Caucasus region, namely Georgian and ethnic Armenians, to make the Caucasian Division, which will fight against the Ottoman Empire, and bring back the historical Greater Armenia within the Russian Empire (It is also rich in many minerals, making it a further bonus for Russia). It's a great time for weapons manufacturor, as many as 100,000 men are hired by the Imperial Arms Company, especially as there are looks into developing a new type of musket rifle, named the Alexander I rifle, in memory of the previous Tsar. Since Alexander I had no sons, his brother, Constantine I, names himself, Emperor of All Russia, and it's his decision to invade the Ottoman Empire. The Imperial Russian Navy suffers massive losses early in the war from the Swedish and Danish Navies. However, it is known that Russia has the third largest Navy in the world, only behind the British and French, and many ships are sent to perform a counterattack against the Invading Force in the Baltics, with plans to build up a massive force on the Black Sea coastline, which is surrounded by the Ottoman Empire.
 * Bavaria The Investigation on the army commissioned last year has come back with quite disappointing results: many units are not at full strength, and many soldiers and officers are on unapproved leave. HM appoints a team of experts to fix the problems. HM a,so tours the country, unveiling statues and generally improving national spirit. Bavaria decides to remain neutra in the Balkan war for now.

1817
'''Mod event: The Netherlands send a fleet of 15 ships to Russia aiding the Swedish - Danish alliance, and offer Greece alliance. The French Navy is devastated as plague struck Switzerland, France and the Austrian Empire. An earthquake struck the Ottomans.'''

I gave Bavaria a more realistic size, and redistibuted German, Austrian, Russian and Northern Polish lands slightly to even out the land lost and gained by the change. Pavillion (talk) 11:21, December 25, 2012 (UTC)

Thank you for making Bavaria more realistic! Could I further trouble you by asking if you could perhaps make the Palatinate Bavaria's colour? (It's the blobby exclave to the west, see the Wikipedia map of Bavaria). I'd do it myself, but I'm away on holidays. Callumthered (talk)

Is that not Luxembourg to the west? Pavillion (talk) 15:01, December 26, 2012 (UTC)


 * Sweden thanks its allies for aiding it in the war against Russia. The Battle of St. Petersburg begins to turn in favour of the Russians thanks to their navy, but the arrival of Dutch ships quickly turns the tables of the defending nation. The flags of Sweden, the Netherlands and Denmark are hoisted above the walls of Palace Square despite the fact that much of the southern city is still held by Russian forces. Casualties are high on both sides, and Sweden begins to deploy 10 cannons and 20,000 more troops to the city. A crackdown on mysterious pirates is held in the Baltic Sea, as Sweden believes they are Russian in origin (which is wrong).
 * Denmark:  A few more ships and 15,000 more armed soldiers land on Russia. Cannons are laid all over occupied St. Petersburg. Danish paramilitants sneak into Russian St.Petersburgh and burn alot of their food and other supplies thinking if they destroy their economy Russia will surrender. Denmark officialy recognizes Greece as an independent state, and will aid them in defeating the Ottomans as soon as we defeat Russia.
 * Russian Empire: As Swedish, Dutch and Danish ships and military repeatedly attack St. Petersburg, Constantine I has no plans to surrenders, and appears to soldiers still based in the Empire's Capital, saying that he won't leave, as that would be cowardly for the Emperor of All Russias to leave his country at need. Unfortunately for the Russians, the French and Austrians appear to be going through a plague of unknown detirmination. A messenger is sent to Great Britain, asking for their powerful Navy to help defend Russia. The Invasion of the Ottoman Empire is put on hold, in order to send all available soldiers to the North, to fend off the Invasion.
 * Piedmont-Sardinia: Deciding that the Protestant Invasion of Russia was going badly, we send our most of out fleet and army into into the north and seize Iceland in a suprise attack and begin destroying settlements in Greenland and begin the first landings onto Iceland, and send several ships to ferry 7,00 soldiers and 6 cannons to the Crimean Penninsula to march north with 600 soldiers on them to Greece, offering these troops in return for large quantaties of wine and three dozen Greek soldiers, we also ask Great Britain for military access.
 * Swedish D: We must point out that the troops you have landed in Crimea will never reach St. Petersburg in time to provide a decent defense. You may as well turn back, and stop seizing Danish lands with little to no motivation while you're at it.
 * Mod: Piedmont - Sardinian troops will die very quickly in that way even when they haven't reach Greenland and Iceland yet.  How could your army arrive at Greenland and Iceland?
 * Via Boat
 * It would take far more than half a year to sail all the way from Sardinia/Piedmont in 1817 to Iceland AND Greenland, then commit a "surprise attack" that siezes the entire islands to you. Pavillion (talk)
 * Fair enough.
 * Papal States: In order to help the Greeks, the Papal Navy together with the army are sent to invade Crete and Cyprus, while sends weapons and funds to the new Greek State. With the help of the Piedmont-Sardinia in the researches, the speed is almost double and the Pope promises to share the tecnologies discovered with Piedmont-Sardinia. The Greeks are invited to participate the Papal Center of Science and will be granted to then all the tecnologies available in the Papal States. The Mercenary recruitment is a success and is expanded to Naples and Sicilia.
 * Greece accepts the alliance with the Netherlands and Sweden-Denmark, and also accepts the Bavarian Prince to become the future King of Greece, on one condition: He MUST marry a Greek woman. The troops push towards Patras on the northern coast of the Pelopponese. Greece also thaks Piedmont-Sardinia and the Papal States for support of their fledgling nation.
 * Piedmont-Sardinia D:So do you accept our offer?
 * Bavaria Prince Karl Theodore sails to Greece to be crowned King. Upon his arrival, he swears to marry a Greek woman, and to convert to Greek Orthodox. With him is 2000 Bavarian troops, who will stay in Greece until everything is settled in the new country. He also has architects, military advisors for the Greek army, beurocrats and other officials vital in running a new country. The king of Bavaria hopes that sharing a dynasty will bring Bavaria and Greece good relations for many years to come.
 * France: We declare war against the Ottoman Empire to help the Greek forces to retake Greece and Thrace, aswell to expulse a possible threat for the Alliances from European land, the military is built up and the army stands by on Greece royal land awaiting to hit the Empire.
 * Bavaria The army inspectors gradually improve the state of the army, and begin to reorganise it. King Max is very pleased that a Wittelsbach will be on the Greek throne, and asks the Greeks to set up an e,bassy in Munich. Meanwhile, the parliament passes a Museum Act, which aims to establish three museums in Munich.
 * Denmark: 150,000 troops march through Russia. They poison wells and burn crops. They carry their own supplies in a cart with a cannon on the front of it. Multiple boats surrond the Baltic Sea to stop any goods entering Russia .Many Russians starve. A few men catapault dead, smallpox infected men into large cities they pass. Denmark states that the Russian empire shall stand down or multiple people will suffer. A few 50,000 men are pulled out along with a few  boats from Russia in case Pidemont-Sardina gets any smart ideas

1817.5
Mod event


 * Greece accepts Piedmont-Sardinia's proposal (sorry if I didn't make it clear enough before) and continues expanding over the Peloponnese. Greece also thanks France for their help.
 * Mod: Come on, which alliance are you on, Greece?
 * Sweden and the Protestant forces capture St. Petersburg, the imperial capital city of Russia, and Russian government and royalty are forced to flee to another city and establish government there. Sweden proposes to the other protestant nations that the nations of Latvia, Estonia and Lithuania should be liberated from Russian rule before forces retreat from Russian lands. The Swedish Navy capture 30 pirates and discover that they don't speak Russian, but a mixture of  Piedmontese, Italian and French. Swedish spies are secretly sent to France, Piedmont-Sardinia, the Papal States and the Austrian Empire to discover which country is responsible for the terrorising of Baltic coasts.
 * Denmark:  Fearing possible Catholic invasion and likely plague, the king and multiple important people move the government to Nuuk, Greenland. A millitary general is put in charge of giving orders in Denmark. The first repeating rifle is made. Some 2,000 men skilled in Russian start secretly raiding British ships with stolen Russian boats from St.Petersburg. In Russia, Denmark sends citizens to preach Protestant ways and to revolt against Russia. Military expansion speeds up, gving Denmark has the 8th largest Navy. Denmark also has te third largest para military group.
 * Piedmont-Sardinia: The Piedmonteese army now controles Iceland due to it's small population making it easy to conquer, and with winter being over the temperate climat kicks-in reducing attrition.  Learning that the Danish capital had been moved, a group of fifteen ships carrying hundred of soldiers land in the small settlement/capital of Nuuk and leave the place as a pile of ashes as well as up and down the fjords of Norway to pillage and Orkney and the Farose Islands . The amount of hired pirates in the Baltic increases greatly and are ordered to stay in hiding until further notice. Meanwhile a dozen Greek "fine wine merchants" appear in Stockholm, Copenhagen, and Swedish/Danish controled Russia and sell some fine recently-poisoned wine to political and military leaders as well as large Protestant cathedrals where Blood-of-Christ/wine will be served. We ask for military access from France and offer Denmark peace under the circumstances that Piedmont-Sardinia gain the south-west corner of Iceland and they end their support for Sweden's invasion of Russia, these terms are negotiable. Piedmont-Sardinia also increases production of ships but it will be a while before they are finished.
 * Why don't you just drop nuclear bombs on everybody while you're at it?
 * Fine, I'll nerf my actions a bit. Also, Nuuk is definetly close enough that it can be sailed to in less than 6 months and it has a very low population, and Denmark made a mistake in putting their capital close to an enemy navy.
 * Mod: You can't destroy the Danish capital that quickly. The Danish Military is not that weak.
 * Their military is all the way in the in mainland Denmark and that is only a fraction of their army, the rest is in Russia, they made no move to send soliders to Greenland
 * Bavaria The Army Inspectors unveil their brand new organisation system for the army. It will consist of 3Army corps, each consisting of 4 brigades. The King and the Parliament approve of the plan, and it is started to be implemented. Bavaria offers 500 more troops to Greece, and again asks them if embassies can be constructed. (BTW, by the blobby bit, I didn't mean Luxembourg, I meant the blob on the map on the Wikipedia page on the Kingdom of Bavaria)

1818
'''Plague continues and spread to Piedmont-Sardinia while it doesn't seems to expand northwards. The "fine wine merchants" and their poisoned wine from Greece are discovered in Sweden and burnt, and Naples - Sicily declares alliance with Denmark in the Greenlandish Piedmontese - Danish war, and send a fleet to Greenland and Iceland. Iron mine is found in Sweden. Luxembourg ask for a meeting of Protestants next turn, inviting Greece and Bavaria.'''


 * Naples-Sicily is in the Quadruple Alliance and it says in the rules no breaking the alliance until 1825

If this is OK, a new page at Protestants' Alliance (Congress of Vienna Map Game) will be created so that discussion between these states will be there for 3 turns.


 * Denmark: 20 Ships defend Nuuk, along with 30 land cannons and 100,000 soldiers. Denmark excepts Pidemont-Sardina's offer, but only if they can join the Papal states in technology research.  The poisoned wine is burned. To prevent pirates, ships now have to get premission from King Frederick VI to enter Denmark.
 * Papal States D: We accept, but only if Piedmont-Sardinia also accepts.
 * Nuuk is already kinda in ashes...
 * Papal States: The fleet sent to invade Crete reaches the island and the troops land with no problem. Due to the Modern weapons of the Papal Army and Mercenaries with good war experience, the troops have a great advance, however don't conquer the island. The fleet is surrounding the island making impossible to any ship to informe mainland Ottoman Empire of the invasion, so no more troops will come. The landing in Cyprus is done with no problem also, but due to the size of the island the troops stayed on south util the ships help in battles on North. The Pope made a public speech closing the border with Naples-Sicily due to the attack on an Ally. Due to the spread of the plague to North Italy, imigration is almost closed due to the mesures used to seach the ones wanting to enter the Papal States. The troops that were protecting Rome were sent to the Papal States/Naples Sicily Border.
