The Greater Americas (Map Game)

This game revolves around the idea that instead of all the powerful and developed nations appearing in Europe and Asia, with the Americas being discovered with less developed peoples, then being conquered and colonized - the opposite happens. The developed nations appear in the Americas, and then the rest of the world is discovered, conquered and colonized. The PoD is not clear, though it might have been to do with the way species moved as the supercontinent Pangea broke up. The game starts at the point of discovery of Europe and Africa. The calendar evolved diferently so we start in the year 812, which is equivalent to 1700s OTL. The colonization race has begun.

Rules

 * 1) Be plausible. We don't dominate the world in a week or allow alien space invaders helping your nation.
 * 2) One nation per user, except puppet states and colonies.
 * 3) Game starts in 812.
 * 4) One turn per day.
 * 5) Each turn is a year until 1000. Then each turn is six months.
 * 6) Don't overcolonize. Countries can't have colonies everywhere.
 * 7) Don't expand too fast. We don't want nations to be doubling in size every day.
 * 8) The game starts on January 6th (2012).
 * 9) There is now an Algorithm to decide player vs. player wars on the talk page.

Archives
There will be archives every 20 years up until 1000 G.A (Greater Americas year), from when it will be 10 years. The first archive will be of 8 years, however.
 * 812-820
 * 821-840 
 * 841-860
 * 861-880
 * 881-900

Changes
Antarctica has been discovered, and the areas south of South America are claimed by Patagon.

The Amazonian colony now borders the Aztec colony to the north, but only on the coast.

Tips

 * Before choosing your nation, we advise you look at the country profiles page here, to see what nation you would like.
 * Once you have chosen your nation, you can change the profile to show how you are developing.
 * Feel free add any missing nations!
 * Flags are optional but advisable as they help give a national identity.
 * Colonies or puppet states can become independent from your nation if they are not happy with your nation. These then become a new nation and are added to the list, free for new players.

841

 * Patagon: The government hires several Patagonian companies to begin construction of the massive railway system. Tracks linking big eastern cities like Buenos Aires and Montevideo to eachother and west-coast ports like Puerte Mont are begun, and many smaller, more local projects are initiated as well. The engineering corps designs passenger cars and transportation cars for the trains, and factories are contracted to manufacture them. The main Australis and South Calland lines are begun as well. This massive railway network should be completed by 846. Factories and farms continue to appear, but the factories are much more expansive, so much that they now are 35% of the economy.


 * The Incan Empire of the Andes: The army concludes several successful expansions into Serbia and Russia, extending their goal of total Eu'ropan domination. An advanced port city and naval base begins construction on the Caribbean coast. Another small railroad is built, linking Cuzco to one of its larger suburbs. Several unique naval improvements are made, and are to be completed next year. The war with Europe is over through some negotiations, however armies are still on high alert.
 * European Diplomacy: May we have repirations for the destruction of property in France.
 * United Amazon: Industrialization continues. The first railroad has been finished, and goods are traveling from Brazilia and Sao Felix. Factories continue to sprout up, and manufacturing makes up one eight of the economy. People are now flocking to the city at faster rates than ever. However, because of the large influx of people, wages tend to be low, not helping with the poverty problem. Proposals are being put out though factory owners are paying most representives that visit the king to not speak of the poverty. Meanwhile, the expedition in South Africa has come back, and more of the area north is explored. The South African colony now borders the West Mountains colony. Kenya continues to expand south, though at a slower rate.
 *  Rio de Janeiro is in the East American confederation. 
 *  My mistake. I will fix it. 
 *  I suppose you mean the Vulktarn colony? FP 
 * The Aztecs ask the Patagonese if it can provide it with industrial technologies in exchange for corn. 95% of the population is now Christian. Aztec colonies in East africa (somalia and Zanzibar) continue to expand inland. They ask the Indians, Union of American States, and Antillians to unite together.
 * Patagonian diplomacy: The offer is declined, as some technology has already spread to the Aztecs and we have no need of corn.
 * Antilian Diplomacy: Antilia is wondering what the Aztecs mead as "unite together". In what way?
 * Aztec Diplomacy: Something like a dynastical union.
 * Union Diplomacy: The Aztecs are asked wether they are willing to sell their Indochinese colony.
 * Holy Kingdom of Europe: The European Army attacks the tribes surrounding the Gulf of Finland using land and sea attacks. The Europeans are able to gain enough land to unite Finland to the rest of Europe. The Europeans begin to send fur traders into Russia. They establish trade routes from Moscow to Berlin. The Europeans also conitnue to build-up infastructure. Settlers are sent to North Madagascar and Liberia. The Liberia Colony is renamed the Colonie de Afrique de l'Ouest.
 * Antilia: The gold rush of southern Africa continues and the colony expand further up the coast, and all of the coast of Africa is explored, from the Antilian colony to the Amazonia Kenyan colony.
 * Union of Greater States: Begin a huge industrialization program in all their territories and expansion is considerably slowed down. Only one tribal kingdom is taken over this year in Indochina as the government diverts funds to Industrialization programs and huge railroad constrution programs to make for faster travelling. Funds are also put into building the main steam engine and carridges for transportation. Railroads will also be built in Union Australis and Calland while Indochina will come at a later stage.
 * East American Confederacy: The EAC is renamed the Republic fo Brazil, and it asks that Europe give Germany's old colonies to the new Brazil.

842

 * The Aztecs: begin industrialization in response to the Patagonians' successes. 99% of the population is now Christian. Aztec colonies in East africa (Somalia and Zanzibar) continue to expand inland. They make a histroic visit to China.
 * The Incan Empire of the Andes: The Empire continues small amounts of expansion into Russia. They also move further into New America, taking Tangiers to close off the Mediterranian. Fleets travel down the Nile River establish bases and trading posts in the area. A new railroad is built to the southern part of the country. The emperor proclaims that all is going well in the Eu'ropan colonization, however he appears not as young as he used to be.
 * Incan Diplomacy: The empire proposes a trade for Vulktarn: Japan for Taiwan.
 * United Amazon: South Africa continues to expand, and moves into the unclaimed areas of OTL Nambia. The Kenya colony keeps moving south, though progress is slow due to many people wanting to go to South Africa. South African Amazonians begin to move northward, believing a destiny that God wants United Amazon to spread the king's rule across the world, starting in New South America (Africa). Industrialization continues, and more railroads have been completed. Factories now make up one sixth of the economy, behind shipping and trade, wealth from colonies, and agriculture.
 * Union of Greater States: In a recent visit to an Indian kingdom, the main cabinet of the government were moved by the ideas of Hinduism and the similarity of hinduism and their native beliefs. It is announced that Hinduism will become the state religion with the few "modifications" to its ideas. Industrialization continues and the first drawings for the carriages are presented while the steam engine begins construction. Railroad construction continues in all territories and so does the number of workers emigrating to get a job on the building of the railway lines. The first Union election happens in Australis and Calland, with the United Labour Party getting the most votes and winning a close election.
 *  Really Imp? Just saying, switching from one religion to another so soon might cause problems. 
 *  Probably, but I'll make things more interesting. Plus, the ideas of both religions are quite similar in some aspects!! 
 * Patagon: The railroads are greatly expanded, with a line being completed between Buenos Aires and Montevideo, several western port cities, and other smaller towns along the Rio Parana. The main lines linking the two halves of the country are still unfinished, however. The Australis project has begun, but the Calland line has not been started yet. Some roads around the nation are refurbished as well, and the last of the Warmongerers are manufactured and installed onto the navy's ships. The high ruler declares that "Patagon shall rule the seas across the earth!" However, he looks even more ragged than the previous year and rumors about his health abound. Industry now comprises 45% of the economy.
 * The Republic Of Brazil: Brazil begins to build up its military and establishes several colonies around the world, on in China near Taiwan, anotherin Africa near OTL Angola, and a third in Scandanvia and the final two in North and South Korea.
 * Holy Kingdom of Europe: The Europeans give north madagascar to Brazil (note: this was because he switched nations). They ask that the Colonie de Afrique de l'Ouest remain their's. The Europeans send the settlers from North Madagascar to Colonie de Afrique de l'Ouest. The European Army attacks the Scandinavian countries through land and sea. Several lords and ladies in Finland, Sweden, and Norway marry other scandinavian rulers and thus incorperate them into the HKE. The Europeans by the end of the year totally take over Scandinavia. Colonie de Afrique de l'Ouest expands due to the large amount of new settlers. The King of Europe asks that the Brazilians and Europeans establish a trade agreement.
 * Brazillian Diplomacy: Brazil asks for the follwoing former German colonies:Korea, OTL Yemem, Sr Lanka, Taiwan, northern Masagascar, the Suez Canal area,and in OTL Liberia, although the requested colony may be kept by Europe as long as it is not the Suez Canal area colony.
 * Germany did NOT have colonies in Korea, Yemen, Ceylon, or Taiwan.
 * Yeah it did, read the archives
 * A European nation would not have the ability to control all of that land at once, not to mention that Taiwan was under Muisca control at the time, so that colony didn't happen.
 * Ok no tawan, but they were small colonies and I did found them, or at least I did as Germany and I havent edited those turns for at least a week.
 * As Germany was absorbed by Europe, the colonies would have no one to turn to for help and would have most likely have either been abandoned or be destroyed by the natives
 *  The Europeans giving Brazil the colonies is totally ASB. A nation would not randomly give another nation several colonies, when there has been no previous relations between the countries. If you used to control Germany and then switched nations, tough. The only way you can get those colonies back is by doing some sort of trade or by force. Using the excuse, "Hey, those were my colonies when I was Germany so I should get them!" is a no. FP 
 * European Diplomacy: The Europeans want the Judea/Suez region and OTL West Africa/Liberia. You can have the rest of the former german colonies
 * Brazil wants the Suez area, I will give you Liberia, but come on, I gave you all of continental Germany, that should be worth something. I will let you have a naval base on the Red Sea and Medditeranian at Port Said. In return for these colonies, Brazil will cede some land in South America too Europe, and it is offered that the Suez is jointly ruled by Europe and Brazil. An alliance and trade deal is offered to Europe
 * I gave you Yemen, Sri Lanka, Korea, and North Madagascar. I just want West Africa and Judea/Suez.
 *  No trading colonies. as you can see above, this is totally ASB. FP 
 * Look guys, the German colonies don't exist anymore. Even if Europe did take custody of them, they probably wouldn't give them to another nation just because. Those colonies no longer exist because no one took care of them. Monster Pumpkin

''' The number of undiscovered countries goes down dramatically when 3 large empires in OTL China are discovered. They are the Qin Empire, the Tibetian Empire and the Urguyur Empire. The Mongols formally contact the other countries in North America, inviting them to their capital. '''
 * United Amazon: The South African colony continues to expand into OTL Nambia. Industrialization continues and more railroads are being built to connect factories and resources. Factories make up one fourth of the economy, showing a major jump following major flooding forcing many villagers to move into the cities. Poverty is becoming more rampant in the cities, with many children having to skip school to work. A new movement has come out, trying to combat corruption, poverty, and discrimantion. It has some gains when a new plan to reduce child labor had been presented to the king. The plan creates a certain age that you have to be to work, and that number will be raised over the next seven years until it reaches 17.
 * Aztecs: Continue to explore East Africa and continue expanding their settlements in Somalia and Zanzibar. Industrialization continues.
 *  Muisca has already been taken over by the Incas and Antillians. Please read other people's posts next time. Monster Pumpkin 
 * The Incan Empire of the Andes: The Empire continues expansion along the Adriatic coast, along with more of Russia and north New America. The navy introduces the carronade, vastly increasing the attack of its large navy. An Incan alchemist discovers the element of oxygen.
 * Patagon: The railroad project continues, with the main line between the west and east coasts of Patagon being completed and more north-south lines being initiated. The main Australis line is also nearly completed, and the Calland line proceeds apace. Money is allocated for more upgrades to the navy. On May 16th, the high ruler of Patagon collapses in his office. He is rushed to a local medical center, but he is pronounced dead at 10:11 PM due to a massive seizure. Thus, Shkart Quall, the first high ruler of Patagon from 816-843, passes away. Memorial services are planned throughout June in Buenos Aires. A meeting between officials from the four Patagonian territories meet at a swanky Calland reserve to choose the next leader. Factories now make up 55% of the economy.
 * Union of Greater States: Industrialization continues and the carriages begin construction while the steam engine continues construction. Railroad construction continues in all territories and so does the number of workers emigrating to get a job on the building of the railway lines. The railway line in Union Calland is quickly and swiftly completed, while construction continues in Union Australis and in the Union mainland. Factories are popping up everywhere, and a baby boom begins in many territories of the Union. Some extremeist start an uproar on why they now suddenly have a new state religion. They are replied by a speech from the president, saying "This was and is our religion. We have only made it official and this will remain so. Hinduism is, if you must, a more "detailed" religion and depicts our gods in a greater light and more detail than that we ever knew of. Remember, hinduism is our religion". Most of the populace is convinced by this speech, but extremeists remain. The extremeists see the colony of Indochina as the best way forward, where they can practice their religion in peace and a huge exodus takes place to Indochina.
 * The Republic Of Brazil: Brazil estalbishes colonies in OTL's Suez Canal Area, Liberia, northern Madagascar, and starts to colonize Guam.
 * Hawaii has been taken, you already own northern Madagascar. and the other two are owned by Europe. Monster Pumpkin
 * That was German and you said those colonies collapsed, so I am recolonizing them.
 *  Yes, but Europe actually took control of Liberia and the Suez canal. The ones in Korea and Ceylon were abandoned. Monster Pumpkin 
 *  fine i am starting to colonizer OTL Yemen, Iraq, and Ceylon. Brazil establshes a colony in Scandanavia. 
 *  Scandinavia is owned by Europe. Monster Pumpkin 
 *  not all of it, the eastern caost of Finland is not Euroepan, and thats where my colony is. 

844

 * United Amazon: continues to expand it's South African colony. It starts to expand more north-westward in an attempt to finally conect to the Indian ocean and have more access to it's resources. Manufacturing now makes up one third of the Amazonian economy, in the colonies manufacturing makes up a small portion of the economy. The economy is growing at a faster rate than ever, with most of the growth that is taking place mostly coming from manufacturing. The new plan proposed earlier about child labor has slowly reduced some poverty, as there is less labor and less labor being made available. Also, more children are attending school.
 * Aztecs: They continue to explore the interior of East Africa and continue expanding their settlements in Somalia and Zanzibar. Industrialization continues.
 * European Diplomacy: Do you still follow the Pope or the Jamesian Church?
 * Holy Kingdom of Europe: The Holy Kingdom of Europe attacks the Czech lands to the south of it and quickly takes control of the area. The army then begins to attack other slavic lands to the south of the HKE. King James III announces that the Pope is a pagan and traitor. He creates the Jamesian Church as a result. The Jamesian Church teaches that God is actually three gods, Jehovah (the Father), Jesus Christ (the Son), and the Holy Spirit. The King of the Holy Kingdom of Europe is the head of the Jamesian Church.
 * The Incan Empire of the Andes:  The Empire expands deeper into Russia and southeastern Europe. The Navy decides to try to cover the bottom of one of their ships in order to prevent wood decay. It is a success, and soon many of their ships have the same hull. Recently the Emperor seems to be of bad health.
 * Patagon: A new high leader, hailing from Cordoba, is selected. He pledges to live up to the great example set by Shkart Quall before him by "advancing and uniting the Patagonian territories and bringing us more power across the globe." However, several citizens begin to feel that the selection process was too removed from mainstream life and that they should have more say in the procedures. The majority of the railways are complete, and the engineering corps expects to finish them in 845, a year ahead of schedule. Industry makes up about 60% of the economy. Hearing of the Incans' idea of covering the hull of their ships, Patagon's navy opts to do the same. A highly classified project to advance the navy is also under way.
 * Union of Greater States: Industrialization projects continue. The first steam engine prototypes to travel all across the Great States finally startstrial runs while the newly completed carriages are attached behind them. Railroad construction continues in Union Australis and in the Union mainland territories and so does the number of workers emigrating to get a job on the building of the railway lines. Factories are popping up everywhere, and a baby boom continues in many territories of the Union. The naval ideas of Patagon and the Incas are copied to similar success. The extremist migration to Indochina continues and the colony expands further northward.

845

 * Holy Kingdom of Europe: The European Navy begins to copper plate thier ships as well after seeing the results from the Patagonian Navy. The Europeans land more settlers in the Colonie de Afrique de l'Ouest and the Jerusalem Colony, both expand. The Europeans begin to work on a canal across the Sinai Peninsula and work is started on June 3. The Jamesian Church is accepted by many of the Christians in the Jerusalem Colony and the Colonie de Afrique de l'Ouest after some resistance. The King calls for all Christians to "Desert the heathen Pope, who plays to every note that the vile Incans give him. Follow the true religion, the one that has not strayed from Jehovah, Jesus Christ, or the Holy Spirit. Follow the Jamesian Church."
 * Aztecs: They continue to explore the interior of East Africa and continue expanding their settlements in Somalia and Zanzibar. Industrialization continues. They establish settlements at the shore of Lake Victoria, recenty discovered a whil ago (last few days in real time).
 * European Diplomacy: Do you follow the Pope or the Jamesian Church?
 * The Incan Empire of the Andes: The Empire expands further in Russia, Egypt, and southeastern Europe. A young inventer tries to create a device to imitate the flight of birds, but when he tests it he falls and breaks his arm when he jumps from a tree. The army increases fortifications in Europa along the border with Europe. The Emperor catches pnemonia and is transported to his estate of Machu Picchu.
 * Incan Diplomacy: The Pope excommunicates the European King, stating that he has not displayed the signs of God's messenger on Earth. Morale among European Catholics decrease as a result.
 * European Diplomacy: We excommunicate the Pope, the Incan Emperor, and all Cathlics who refuse to join the Jamesian Church
 * Incan Diplomacy: The Pope angrily states that the European King is trying to pervert the original teachings of Christianity by creating three gods. The general Incan populace is outraged at the supposed excommunication of the Emperor. Correct me if I'm wrong, but since the Emperor isn't christian, doesn't that mean he cant be excommunicated?
 * CHALLEGE ACCEPTED...challenge failed
 * Lol. Just saying, you know we practically have a cold war in Europe right now, because of the actions of both nations. 
 * Patagon: On August 6th, the first steamboat is revealed in the harbor of Buenos Aires to a roaring crowd. She's a magnificent vessel, going nearly twice as fast as a conventional sailboat and bristling with Warmongerers. The high leader declares this ship, dubbed the Rising Sun, the most advanced military ship of the age. The design for this ship, however, is kept secret. The national railroad system is completed, and plans are made for more steamboats to be manufactured.
 * United Amazon: Expansion in South Africa continues, and it now has finally reached the Indian Ocean. Back on the homeland, Industrialization continues. a large amount of railroads have been completed. Most of the Southern half of the nation has been completed. Manufacturing now makes up half of the economy, and people everywhere are working in factories. In South Africa, the first railroad has been finished, connecting three major cities. However, the railroad cannot serve many people and mainly is used for transporting goods.
 * Union of Greater States: Industrialization projects continue. The first steam engine prototypes to travel all across the Great States finally finishes trial runs and begins its maiden journey while the carriages transport people. Railroad construction continues in Union Australis and in the Union mainland territories and so does the number of workers emigrating to get a job on the building of the railway lines. The extremist migration to Indochina continues and the colony expands further northward, overruning one of the kingdom to the north. The army discipline exercises are initialed and the navy commences production of its own "steamships", not steamboats. They willl be ready by next near due to huge funding going into their production for the rivalling of the high seas. They will have cannons as their main weapon and warmongers are not good for use in a naval battle according to the navy.

846
''' Just to clear some things up, the warmongeror is NOT an actual cannon, the closest equivalent would be a machine musket. Look up the Puckle Gun to find out what it is. A ship armed with warmongerors will still lose to a ship armed with cannons. '''
 * Holy Kingdom of Europe: More ship hulls' are converted to the copper-plated version. Many ships from the navy are converted and many comercial shippers do that as well. The Muslims in the Jersusalem Colony attack the European settlers, most of the raids are failures as the Europeans have advanced weaponry. The Europeans send settler to Bangladesh and form the Colony of Bengal. The natives are mainly converted frmo Hinduism to Christianity, specifically the Jamesian Church. The Crown Prince is titled the Prince of France (akin to the Prince of Wales) after French nobles protest the less representation they get than the Germans. French represetation along with all other ethnicities are given equal representation to the King's Court. Over seven thousand Catholics convert to the Jamesian Church after they are convinced by a travelling monk, named Louis-Pierre Richard, convinces them that the Pope is a demon in men's clothing. Many of these converts form the Anti-Catholic League which looks for the destruction of the Catholic Church.
 * The Auorian Tribes: After a few years of the continuing of current advances and laws, The Auorian Goverment as well as it's Military has made a descion; to make a full on invasion of the Western Territories. The Military sends out scouting forces followed by heavier, more advanced deployments to the North-East of the Area. So far the Western Territories have barely reacted, and are continuing to remain silent, even as the Auorian armies march across it's lands, slowly claiming more of the Territory. Also on the colonization front, the colonies push westward, colonizing and claiming more land.
 * Aztecs: They continue to explore the interior of East Africa and continue expanding their settlements in Somalia and Zanzibar. Industrialization continues. The colony in Lake Victoria continues expanding.
 * The Incan Empire of the Andes: The army is desperate to advance further in Europe to please their ailing emperor, who is now in even worse condition. They succeed in expanding in Eastern Europe and part of North New America. Alchemists and Chemists create two compounds, Lime and Incan Fire (OTL Greek Fire), during an experiment in Cuzco. The military is now trying to weaponnize both, but it should take some time. Both are a classified secret. An Incan attempt to copy the Patagonian steamship is partially a success, sailing out of the Galapagos harbor but catching fire shortly after.
 * Incan Diplomacy: The Empire offers to sell the island of Taiwan to the UGS if Vulktarn does not agree to the trade agreement in one year.
 * European Diplomacy: We will give respect all of you claims to Russia up to the Urals if you kill the Pope, ban the Catholic church, and force all Christians in your lands to become members of the Jamesian Church
 * Incan Diplomacy: The heir to the throne answers for his father, stating that the Empire does not kill religious figures who are legaly practising his beliefs, nor force legal practicioners to be forced to believing something else. He does mention that any attempt to claim Russia will be met with force.
 * Patagon: After hearing a report from the engineering corps explaining how Warmongerers are terribly suited for ship-to-ship combat, the high ruler reportedly goes into a rage at all of the wasted resources and nearly punches one of his servants. This incident does not help his popularity among the people. He orders new cannons to be manufactured and installed on all current and future ships. Warmongerers, however, are still immensely useful in land-based and sea-to-land combat, so they are kept around. Plans are also made for more steamships. Several coal mines open for business, sensing a new niche in the economy. A national sensus is planned for the first time.
 *  Actually they could still be used in close ship-ship fighting to kill off enemy sailors and destroy the sails 
 *  Hence they are kept around, but will no longer be the main focus of new Patagonian ships. 
 * Union of Greater States: Industrialization projects continue. The first steam engine prototypes to travel all across the Great States, carrying people. Railroad construction finishes in Union Australis and in the Union mainland territories. The extremist migration to Indochina continues and the colony expands further northward, overruning another kingdom to the north.The army discipline exercises are initialed and the navy finishes production of its own "steamships", not steamboats. They are armed with cannon and a few warmongers due to the sailors still wanting to have them on the ships. The first one is revealing to an overjoyed croud in New Inquois (OTL New York). It is named" Enterprise", while the second one is named "Endeavour". The rest are named in a private ceremony. 10 steamships are completed in total but this has taken huge funding and funds are lowered for this year.
 * United Amazon: The King is excited to see that his goal has finally been completed, that the South African colony reach the Indian Ocean. For an odd reason, interest in Kenya picks up and more people move here than South Africa or Madgscar. It expands southward and now has a border with the Aztecs. We ask them for an alliance. Back on the homeland, manufacturing now makes up most of the economy. Factories are common in everyday life. Railroads are used often when traveling far distances. Most people live in the cities, and farms are no longer considered home by many. A new invention comes out, called the Cotton Gin. Just when slavery was about to die out, cotton picking becomes profitable again and those still in agriculture start buying slaves from overseas. The natives in South Africa, Kenya, and Madgscar are being captured and sent to the homeland. Interest in Kenya and Madgscar raises and any plans being considered to sell them or leave them have been scrapped.
 * Patagonian diplomacy: We strongly encourage United Amazon and the other members of the South American Union to ban slavery.
 * Slavery has already been banned by the Incan Empire, but they will not interfere with onther nation's commercial buisness unless it affects the Empire.
 * Europe has never institutionalized slavery, although Serfs are commonly used. They are treated well and can not be sold, they are attached to the land that they live on.

847
''' Starting in April, small groups of protesters appeared in the streets in Cuzco, demanding more religious freedom. Soon the protests spread to the United Amazon and Antillia. It spreads further north, and in the Aztec Empire and the Union of Greater States the protestors also want greater status for the native religion of the areas. By september the protests have reached Europe, demanding an end to the Jamesian-Catholic split. The only country not really affected is Patagon, as freedom of religions is already allowed. '''


 * The Incan Empire of the Andes: The emperor dies in his sleep, ending his rule. His son ascends to the throne, and many officials say that he is more conservative then his father. He does surprise many when he accepts freedom of religion. The army expands into Europe and Africa, covering more of the New North American coast.
 * Holy Kingdom of Europe: King James III orders that the protesters have three days to disperse and they will be given amnesty, if they don't they will be deemed "Enemies of the State" and all sentenced imeadiatley to death, most of the protestors leave. Only 1000 remain and are sentenced to death and hanged. The Jamesian Church continues to grow as thousands of Catholics convert to the "true and right" representation of Christianity. Europeans expand the Bengal Colony to include the Kingdom of Bangladesh to the imeadiate east. The Europeans also begin to send fur traders into Russia.
 * Patagon cannot idly stand by while a government murders its citizens for standing up for what they believe in. We demand that King James steps down and more freedoms be granted to the people.
 * They were given three days to disperse, those who didn't obey defied a direct order of the King, which is in itself is a capital offense.
 * Incan Diplomacy: The Empire ends relations with Europe, and European natives are no longer allowed to enter the Empire.
 * Patagon: We cut off all economic and diplomatic ties to Europe.
 * Aztecs: They continue to explore the interior of East Africa and continue expanding their settlements in Somalia and Zanzibar westward. Industrialization continues. The colony in Lake Victoria continues expanding. They begin to settle Eastern India.
 * United Amazon: The King has two proposals passed. The first one will slowly ban slavery over the next twenty years by having a limit on the number of slaves allowed that will go down. The Second one is to form a region in the north for non-Spitizs followers. Christans, Hindusts, and people of other religons work togther to form prosperous communities in the north. The Kenyan, after getting the news that slavery is safe for now, expands even more, heading out west seeing that they now border the Aztecs to the south.
 * Patagon: Cannons continue to be manufactured for the ships of the navy, and some are designated for the army as well. The first national census is conducted: There are 7.5 million people in Patagon, 4 million in Australis, .5 million in South Calland, and 50,000 in the Falklands. This brings the total population of all the Patagonian territories to 12,050,000. We encourage other nations to have similar censi.

 *  Agreed 
 * Union of Greater States: Industrialization projects continue. The extremist migration to Indochina continues and the colony expands further northward, overruning another kingdom to the north. The army discipline exercises finish and the army is now a more unified fighting unit while 1 more steamship is completed, a stark difference from 10 last year. Although previous censi show that around 89% of the population is Hindu, the President still reluctantly agrees to the protestors' wants as he does not want a nation starting to grow to stagnate.

 * United Amazon: Child Labor has offically been banned today, and poverty went up in a sudden surge, though is slowly going down as there is less workers to compete with. South Africa expands more towrad the Indian Ocean, and the colony makes up a long strip of land that now borders with the Aztecs, though it is thin. Manufacturing continues to grow, and more people get jobs in the factories. The King, in his new war on poverty, has met with several important factory owners, and they try to negotiate some sort of way that the pay of the workers can rise without causing losses. A new deal is made, and more infranstructure will be built by the government, in exchange average wages will among the workers will rise. A census is done following Patagon's new idea, and it is as the following: 10 million people on the homeland, 4.5 million in South Africa, .5 million in Madgscar, and 30,000 in Kenya.

Work onreducing poverty and internal problems begins.
 * Incan Diplomacy: The Empire offers to trade Brazil's scandinavia colony in exchange for Taiwan.
 * Brazillian Diplomacy: Brazil asks for time to think about the offer, as it seems apealing. Will rreply soon, this is not a yes or no, but I will decide soon. And heres a map with my colonies:
 * Incan Diplomacy: We advise you to make your decision soon, as the Empire wants all of Russia to the Urals and are not afraid to use force to get what they want.
 * Brazillian Diplomacy: The Republic of Brazil has every right to a colony in Europe, and does not seek war, if the Incas attakc, they will be attacking a strongly dug in nation on several fronts, and Brazil also tells that Europe might join the war agaisnt the Inca. Brazil only wants to be left alone. And the answer is still undecided.
 * Incan Diplomacy: We were not saying that we would attack you, just that we want to make a swif decision. Also, your country is very unstable right now, so you might want to solve that first.
 * European Diplomacy: The alliance is agreed.
 * Incan Empire: The Emperor announces that an agreement with Brazil has been reached, and Taiwan is given to Brazil in exchange for Scandinavia. The Emperor also states that other secret agreements have been made as well.
 *  I wouldn't have the colony in Iraq right now, as establishing colonies in unexplored areas is dangerous. Monster Pumpkin [[File:TGA_848g.png]]
 * The Incan Empire of the Andes: The Empire expands into Russia, reaching the artic ocean, and the few remaining Eu'ropan peoples are soon subjagated.

The Czechopolak Confederation is absorbed into Europe as the Czechopolak State in Europe much like the German State and the French State. The Czechopolaks are given representation in the King's Courts. The Europeans expand the Bengal Colony and captures the area imeadaitley to its north. Europe begins conscription once more and nrgins training troops over 10,000 troops are sent to France while 5,000 are sent to Eastern Europe to bolster the garrisons already there. This results in 25,000 troops in France and 11,000 troops in Europe, all very well trained and dispclipned.
 * Patagon: New steamships continue to be produced, cannons are manufactured and installed on many of said ships, and the economy slumps a little.

 * Patagon: The economy picks up again, as many raw materials have been coming into Patagon from the new trades routes with the Mongols. In exchange, we send them consumer items such as tools and textiles. Two cargo ships heading to Saldaz get blown off course and head south, and they discover a massive, seemingly endless land of ice. Shocked by the discovery of a new land after most of the world has been explored, the crews explore the continent a bit and head back to Buenos Aires, where the high ruler claims all of OTL Ellsworth land and the peninsula close to South America. A larger expedition is planned to explore the rest of the continent, which is named Trodovya. Back on the mainland, breakthroughs in irrigation technology allow more plants to be watered faster and with less water. This means that fewer jobs as farmhands are necesarry, and many of these people move to cities to look for jobs. As a result, 65% of the economy is now based off of industry. Hearing of the ban on child labor in United Amazon, several unions organize to fight for the same thing in Patagonian factories.
 * The Incan Empire of the Andes: The army finishes its conquest of North Africa, and soldiers from Cyprus also establish a foothold in OTL Antioch.

The South African colony continues to expand, and a railroad has been built connecting the Atlantic ocean and the Indian ocean. Factories are built along this railroad, but not much in other places. The Kenyan colony expands northward, only to see that the Aztecs are here as well. They soon learn that the only place for them to expand now is West.
 * Incan Diplomacy: You are part of the South American Union now, what is it you need? About the colony, I had the same problem with Japan. Do you mean a random number generator? 
 * United Amazon: We are part of the South American Union, we asked last year if free trade could exist between all member nations to increase our economic strenght. Dang it, made myself look like a fool, lol. Anyways, that is what I needed.
 * Incan Empire: I'm sure the other members wouldn't mind, and even if we voted on it it would be passed. Free trade is now happening. Number Generator - Amazon: 9,7 Vulktarn: 9,5 Result: The colony is sold to Amazon. By the way, you didn't look like a fool, lol. Also, can another mod do the same for me and Japan? 
 * Thank you. Anyways, I could do it for you, since no other mods have offered to do so.
 * Sure, that would be nice.
 * Okay, Incans 7, other nation 4. What was the other nation by the way, the talks about Japan earlier are in the archives and I don't feel like looking through them.
 * Vulktarn, or as you call them West Mountains. Japan is now completly Incan. Thanks.
 * So thats what they are called. I wonder where I got the name West Mountains from, lol.
 * The nation that the Aurorians just took over was the West Mountains, and the one you guys are discussing is Vulktarn.
 * Then I have been asking the wrong nation for their colony for the last year.
