Principia Moderni II (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 1420 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. Thus, this second game has been created. Welcome to Principia Moderni II.

Signups
All nations without names by them may be taken by new players immediately. Nations with normal names by them may not be taken by new players as they are already established main player nations, and cannot be played without permission or a revolt. Bolded names are international unions, with member states indented below. Tribal Names are italicized, and areas which are fragmented by being small states are underlined. Nations in civil disarray or collapsing nations have an attached note. If a player's name has an * beside it, it means that nation is a vassal/former colony that a player is controlling but is willing to let someone else play as if asked. Areas which ** are mod-controlled and players must ask permission to play them.

1720
''' The Dimuratis erupt into a Civil War after the Dimurati King is killed by his jealous wife after discovering his royal mistress, and the King's sons start to fight for the throne. The Persians take advantage of this by retaking the territory that Dimurat stole from them, as well as the territory taken from Sindhustan. The personal union between the Dimurats and Mangystau is also broken, as, taking advantage of the civil war on the Dimurat kingdom, a high ranking general declares himself Khan of Mangystau. The Dimuratis are reduced to their homeland. OB2 has been gone for almost twice the needed time.'''

LOL -the day I come back :D

'''If you're back in the game, I'll undo this mod event as it happened only because of inactivity. Just in the future can you please mention if you're going to be inactive for a long time or else this will happen again.'''

'''Just to let everyone know that the correct denonym for Dimurat is Dimurati. You add an "I" to the end, just as you do to people from Iraq.'''

 * Portugal, Navarra, Granada, Castille, Aragon and León prepare their militaries. Meanwhile in León, Alfonso XV dies, and the throne passes to his sister, Urraca Ramírez de Lara, who is crowned as "By the Grace of God, Urraca III, Queen of León, Córdoba, Sevilla and Asturias, Duchess of Cádiz, Galisteo, Cea and Alba de Tornes, Marchioness of Coria, Castrofuerte, Valdefuentes and Villamanrique, and Countess of Coca and Palma del Río". Her husband, Juan de Haro, is also crowned as King of León, with the associated titles, becoming known as Juan VI. Meanwhile in Aragon, the Prince of Girona, Joan d'Anglesola, is married to Maria Fernández de Híjar, daughter of the Duke of Híjar, Martín Fernandez de Híjar.

 * Thank you for posting, LOL.
 * No problem. Glad to be of assistance. ~Viva
 * The United Maharajya sees a bright mind work continously on a secret project of his with other of his trusted colleagues. He is the same student who went to study in Venice and learned many Venetian practices in the process. Inspired by Italia, he works tirelessly, and his efforts soon pay off. He manages to create a fully working air furnace. His invention shocks the world, as it was thought that only Italia would be capable of such a feat. He is hailed a Hero, and it awarded full honours for his discovery. By the year's end, many have been built all across the country. Many scientists begin to divert their work to the methods of the air furnace, and how it works. As a result, the intellectual class grows, and many biological scientists grow interested in the ideas of chemistry. Many alchemists looking to turn lead into gold continue to try their hand, yet many discover their skills have a greater impact in the world of chemistry. The NOC begins to develop more trading routes in Europe. Many ships also begin to venture out over the Atlantic to try to increase their trading route areas and find less competition. Yet they find that the Dutch have been harsh competitors. This does not please the high command so much. The SOC pumps in money to expand existing ports all around its routes to increase their capabilities and hopefully increase profit. They also begin to buy out competition from Palembang and Butung, to increase their economic holdings, all in the name of Mataram. Naya Mataram grows 200 km onto Sulwasi. Patagonshina grows by 4000 km in South America, focusing to expand on the Dutch colonial border. Cebu begins to vassalise Sulu, buying out many competitiors in its markets and beginning to make the nation economically dependent on them. It also forces through Missionaries, who begin to convert many of the remaining Muslims in the nation.
 * Mataram sees a Historic Act signed in this year as provinces in Mataram are made official. Many dignitaries from neighboring Brunei are present to see the passing of the act. The country continues to build up its military while the Spice trade only continues to increase their economic power.
 * Rajputana expands its colony by 4100 km inland. It sees a growth in trust with the United Maharajya as ideas of the air furnace are traded.
 * Kingdom of the Netherlands: King Niejmen I continues to improve the military, focusing on the navy, and also economy expands. Argentium colony expands 3000 km north. Chile colony expands the north coast 1000 km.
 * Oldeburg, Liege, Acech-Pasai, Kongo, Dutch Persia, Iceland expand economy and army. Kongo expands 10,000 sq km north.
 * Myanmar: Northern Myanmar continues growing in infrastructure and population. The population reaches 3,000,000 people. PTC continues to overtake the KTC and asks all nations to join the PTC for trade at low costs. Myanmar Afrika expands by 1000 sq km. Myanmar Oceania expands by 1000 sq km. 10,000 Elite soldiers are recruited armed and drilled and ships are made in shipyards.
 * I will be leaving two days, please can no one invade me? Ninjasvswarriors (talk) 09:04, June 2, 2013 (UTC)
 * Wales's King, Gavin III (now 44), sees his popularity soar as the People's House and Lord's House are exceptionally well regarded as a massive and forward-thinking reform. Public education continues, and it becomes much more regularly attended. This program has seen a growth in the middle class. The Sultan survives a stroke, and his health is failing. The military and economy rise. Mervyn Gwilym dies, and is noted as the best Welsh author ever. His popularity amongst citizens is so great, and his work becomes near sacred to many as he dies. In a play to build off of Mervyn's popularity, Gavin recommends him to be buried in Avalon Cathedral, which the Cardinal of Wales accepts happily.
 * England, Scotland, Belfast, Cork, and Brittany all continue with their Welshification, which is not so much as an official program, but the result of direct contact with the Welsh people and language. Cork is officially denied status as a personal union state, after massive Belfast efforts are realized. The WTC oversees the expansion of De Mor Tir 3000 sq km, as Aber Dinas also grows 3000 km. The Welsh Royal Coast is sent tons of missionaries, and it grows 10,000 sq km.
 * UMSHM: The Landtag debates the pros and cons of becoming an autonomous state of the Germanic Empire. Factors discussed include military autonomy, the status of Catholicism, the retention of a separate monarchy, and power over the Rheinish States. The navy is expanded and improved. Saxon West Africa expands 250 sq km North, and in Australis, the REIAC expands their holdings on Hans Island by 750 sq km. The King-Duke turns 19, and the government begins to speculate on what will occur once he comes of age in two years time.
 * Primatial City of Magdeburg: Missionary activity expands in Africa to accomodate the ever-expanding holdings there. Education remains the focus in Australis, especially amongst the newly-converted tribes.
 * The Lithuanians continue improving infrastructure to prepare for the upcoming invasion of Prussia.
 * Mali expands 10,000 sq km to the east. The military expands. Mossi, Gabu and Wolof contribute to the economy.
 * All the Germanic states expand their militaries. Chimu is upgraded from colony status to client state and home of part of the Navy. Neu Berlin expands 6000 sq km towards Eriksmark, which expands 1000 sq km south. Japan is offered an alliance. Plans are drafted to invade a nation, although only top military officials know what the target is. Neu Berlin (1-5 yes, 6-10 no, 4) vassalizes Myami, due to increased pressure on the nation following the colonial expansion around it. Vinland expands 1000 sq km north along the Antillian coast. We encourage Sindhustan to take from the collapsing Dimurats. Chimu sends a fleet north and establishes its own smaller colony between the Mayan northern border and the Chinese colony. Several Germanic territories join the Arabians in their war, as the Kaiser declares that the time has come.
 * The Mayan Empire continues trade with European colonies and the Lakota. The Juun family continues setting up schools. More roads are built in the southern portion of the Empire to allow raw goods to be transported more easily. The Royal Science Academy continues work on scientific projects. Flax and tobacco are grown. Linen is produced in Mutul and Azteca. Kappelism continues gaining followers. Money is invested in regional projects to promote wealth and business. Middle class families continue rising to prominence in some of the more wealthy provinces, as well as some of the less wealthy provinces. The Empire expands north 8000 km. Xaman expands 3150 km and Haven expands 1100 km.
 * Apache continues expanding 8000 km southeast in search of better water sources.
 * Kaliforno expands 7000 km southeast.
 * The Levantine Kingdom builds up its military as the Levant's New Syria colony expands 4000 sq km inland as the campaign against the Xhosa natives continues. Queen Mary orders colonists in Rinhad Mihyah to produce more sugar, bananas, coffee, rum, and yams, as the Queen announces a new purchase of slaves from the Arabian Federation from the Zanj coast. These slaves are shipped over to the Caribbean island colony and plantation produce increases two fold.
 * The Arabian Federation builds up its military as the Federation prepares for war as part of Sultan Jassim's plan to expand the Federation. This plan is revealed this year after the Federation declares war on Ethiopia for marginalizing Muslims and the Federation invades Yemen. Smaller attacks against other Ethiopian territories take place too, but the focus is on Yemen.
 * The United Maharajya warns the Arabians to pull out of Ethiopian territories, or the consequences will not favour the Federation.
 * The Arabian Caliphate builds up its military and Emir Khalil announces the Caliphate will support the Arabian Federation in their war against Ethiopia. Some military aid is sent and the Caliphate launches some attacks against Yemen and raids of the Ethiopian coast, too. The Al-Khalil colony in OTL Maputo Bay inbetween the Chinese and Portuguese colonies in the region expands inland by 300 sq km as more settlers go to the colony.
 * The Sultanate of Baghdad builds up its economy as the new territories are developed for economic prosperity. Baghdad sends military aid to help the Arabian Federation, too.
 * The Sultanate of Kuwait builds up its economy as the new border regions are integrated into the Sultanate. Kuwait sends military aid to help the Arabian Federation, too.
 * The Maldives builds up its military as military aid is sent to help the Arabian Federation.
 * The Republic of Comchellak expands its military to help enforce the Republic's control over its new territories and to send military aid to help the Arabian Federation in their new war.
 * Dimurats: Military, infrastructure and economy are improved. Sends supplies to Arabia, but does not deploy any combatants, nor declare war.
 * France, La Marche, Rhaetia, Lorraine, Tyrol and Occitania's militaries are updated, and Nouvelle Bourgogne expands 2500 sq km, while Brasilea and Baie d'Eric (Erik's Bay) expand by 1500 sq km and La Riviere expands by 1000 sq km.

1721

 * Portugal, Navarra, Granada, Aragon, León and Castille's economies improve. Meanwhile in Aragon, Maria Fernández de Híjar gives birth to a boy, who is named Alfons, and who dies after some days. Meanwhile in León, Urraca III gives birth to a girl, who is named Berengaria. Meanwhile in Castille, Garcia Alfonso de Lara marries Maria Teresa Gómez de Silva, eldest daughter of Juan Gómez de Silva, Duke of Pastrana. Meanwhile in Portugal, a census is conducted on the mainland, determining that the population of Portugal, including Algarves and Galicia, has reached about three million people. Meanwhile, Santo Amaro expands 500 sq km, Sofala expands 500 sq km, Loanda expands 500 sq km, Guiné expands 500 sq km, and Índia expands 400 sq km. Meanwhile, Pará expands 4300 sq km, while in Rio da Prata, São Miguel expands 4200 sq km.
 * The Mononobe Shogunate builds up the military. More Taoist Temples and Shinto Shrines are built throughout the nation and in the colony of Miyako.

 * The Lithuanians continue improving infrastructure to prepare for the upcoming invasion of Prussia.
 * The Great Haruwin of the Selk'nam continues to build up the Teushen areas on the Atlantian mainland. Vast guanaco ranches are set up by Selk'nam engineers and put under the management of Teushen chiefs. Meanwhile on K'onip the whaling facilities become more advanced and the industry grows by leaps and bounds. Great Chief Cornelius Tuch'huelpe sends emmissaries  up the East Coast of Atlantia, hoping to open whaling trade with the Portuguese, Dutch, Orissan, and French colonies along the coast - along with a request that the Great Circus of Ona Yagich be allowed to come to these colonies for the purpose of amazing the locals with their dancing guanacos who jump through fire ( please respond to both offer  s ). Emissaries are also sent to the Welsh governor of De Mor Tir with the following message, "So says the Great Chief Cornelius Tuch'huelpe, Servant of Christ, Chief of All the Guanaco Herds, Lord of the Fisher Tribes, Steward of the Penguins, and Protector of the Tueshen: Let us mark a boundary between our two haruwin, that we may act in Christian love toward one another and not hunt one another's guanacos."
 * Netherlands government accepts both offers =)
 * Portugal accepts both of these offers.
 * The Orissans also accept the offers.
 * Kingdom of the Netherlands: King Niejmen I continues to improve the military, focusing on the navy, and also economy expands. Argentium colony expands 3000 km north. Chile colony expands the north coast 1000 km. Netherlands will send the army to help the Arabian Federation.
 * Oldeburg, Liege, Acech-Pasai, Kongo, Dutch Persia, Iceland expand economy and army. Kongo expands 10,000 sq km north.
 * Reiches Großraum Bayern: 1721 is a big scientific year in Bavaria as several major inventions are created. In February Venetian-born Andreas Bartalomas invents the Klaviertone (the first piano) several of the major musicans of the time begin to use this wonderful new invention which allows the same intrument to play both soft and loud pieces. Bartalomas is lauded as a musical genius and begins to heavily push is new invention in Germany and his native born Italia. Also this year, Bohemian engineer Samson Rosenberg, a Jew in Prague, patents an automatic fire extinguisher that is filled with fire extinguishing fluid. It is activated by igniting a container of gunpowder that explodes and expels the fluid in a controlled spray. (Both inventions are early 1700s inventions, Google is your friend). The new religous tolerance laws begin to go into effect, though it isn't expected to reach all parts of the Empire for several years.  Diplomats await word from the Arabian Federation on an Alliance. The Weltzeituhr Zeitung (The WorldTimes Newspaper) becomes the first printed newspaper in Bavaria. By the end of the year its circulation extends to most of the German nations and northern Italia.
 * The Arabian Federation accepts the alliance.
 * Germany asks the whole Bavarian Reich to join their German brothers against the Indians and Ethiopians.
 * We have already formally declared war and will aid our German brothers.
 * UMSHM: After some debate in the Landtag, the United Monarchy of Saxony, Hesse and Magdeburg officially declares war on Ethiopia and joins the side of the Arabian Federation. After further debate in the Bundesrat of the Confederation, the member-states agree to assist with an expeditionary force. A large force is moved to Saxon West Africa, and the Ethiopian colony to the North is invaded. The navy is mobilised, and the entire army put on high alert. The King-Duke turns twenty, and only one year separated him from his majority. Nothing much else happens, in major national news. People generally start reading the Weltzeituhr Zeitung, as there is not that much else to read in terms of news. Some of the richer people purchase Klaviertones, but many people stick to the good old-fashioned Harpsichords, the twanging sound of which reverberates throughout the land. News of the war only reaches the Colony in Australis late in the year, when four warships carrying a reasonable force arrives to defend the colony.
 * Alfred Rottenger, Head Editor of the Weltzeituhr Zeitung, offers to set up a local news service as a satellite service of the Zeitung, this local service will be better able to address Saxon issues, as well as a few newspaper printing shops for both the local (you can come up with the name) and the Zeitung.
 * L or M?
 * Primatial City of Magdeburg: The Bishop of Australis orders all the relics and treasures in the colony to be moved to secret locations in the countryside. Apart from that, life goes on as normal, with more locals converting to Catholicism.
 * Cyprus continues to expand its army and navy. Cyrenaica continues to be more stable, and oases are connected to cities to provide continuous fresh water supplies to surrounding areas. Orthodox churches continue to be refurbished and built in Anatolia.  Nea Lefkosia expanded by 1500 sq km, Nea Larnaka expands by 1500 sq km and Nea Lemesos expands by 1500 sq km.
 * Ethiopia requests help from Cyprus in its fight against Arabia. Any lands they wish to take in the Middle East are theirs to choose.
 * Korea: Korea continues building up military, roads and harbors as well as a navy. Korean forces begin mobilizing and training for guerrilla and open field warfare. The King secretly begins funding rebel groups who agree to let him rule as Emperor once the German influence is gone. So while publicly he licks the boots of the Germans, secretly he is planning their expulsion from Korea. A secret is sent to Italia asking them if they can help liberate Korea from the Germans by secretly funding the coup that will come soon.
 * Ethiopia pledges to aid Korea secretly against the German authority.
 * Korea thanks the Ethiopians graciously, and the King secretly sends his son, Crown Prince Dong-Min,  to arrange plans with the Ethiopians.
 * Can a mod look into this? Korea was the one begging Germany to save it.
 * Also when did I ever open up Korea to player availability? It was my vassal. I don't let people play my vassals and stuff, like the Mayan Empire and whatever.
 * How would Ethiopia know what is going on if it is "secret" according to Dean?
 * Dean was cleared by Von (from what I remember) to play Korea as vassals are allowed to be played by players, and the rules don't necessarily say they have to have the owner's consent. Should have made it clear that you didn't want that to happen (and for the record, I don't allow players to play as my vassals, just saying that now for future reference). As for the secret, we can just say that it was intercepted by Ethiopian warships as Korea was a German vassal and since we're at war, it would only make sense for us to sieze any ships loyal to Germany. And Korea is a separate nation opinions. Right now their opinion of you has changed, and they no longer want to be your vassals. It's politics. Italy did it, Serbia did, and Hungary did it with Germany. ~Viva
 * To quote:
 * If a player's name has an * beside it, it means that nation is a vassal/former colony that a player is controlling but is willing to let someone else play as if asked.
 * There was no star. Meaning that I was not willing to let anyone play it.
 * Well, Dean asked and one of the mods said he could. Not my problem but one I'm willing to exploit. ~Viva
 * I remember saying no such thing, can you show me where this was said? Because as far as I knew Dean is the Lakota and they didn't get destroyed so he can't just suddenly change nations as that is against game rules ~Von.
 * Heck I really don't know where it is. All I remember is passing up a part where I believe Dean was asking if he could play as Korea and one of the mods saying yes he could. Like I said before, this is between you and Dean, I'm just using his help in the war. ~Viva


 * Okay, I looked through the posts, and Scraw, it appears that you knew and were perfectly aware of the fact Dean was playing as Korea. You said, and I quote: "Nein nein, Korea is a German client state. The German East Asian Company will not allow these things." So unless you thought the nation was on autopilot, you had every chance to tell Dean that he couldn't play as Korea. Dean even made attempts to marry into the German Royal Family, and was told that that wouldn't be possible due to racism. Now this was a mod post. So you and the mods knew Dean was Korea, yet you did nothing to stop him from playing as the vassal, so everybody knew Dean was Korea but did nothing about the matter.
 * The Mayan Empire experiences a population boom, with the birth rates increasing dramatically in comparison with past years. The Empire continues trade with European colonies and the Lakota. The Juun family continues setting up schools. More roads are built in the southern portion of the Empire to allow raw goods to be transported more easily. Training drills are conducted by the military. The Royal Science Academy continues work on scientific projects. Flax and tobacco are grown. Linen is produced in Mutul and Azteca. Kappelism continues gaining followers. Money is invested in regional projects to promote wealth and business. Middle class families continue rising to prominence in some of the more wealthy provinces, as well as some of the less wealthy provinces. The Empire expands north 8000 km. Xaman expands 5150 km and Haven expands 3100 km.
 * Ethiopia sends a message to the leader of the Maya requesting aid in the war against Arabia. Payment of their choice is open for consideration should they join the war.
 * The Mayan Empire requests an explanation as to why the Ethiopians ask the Mayans for help when they fought on opposite sides of the battlefield not 20 years ago.
 * Germany offers the Mayans the chance to redeem themselves in the eyes of Germany by joining the cause against Ethiopia and Orissa, gaining control of OTL New Zealand if we win.
 * Ethiopia had been drawn into the conflict fighting another enemy. You fought on another side of the globe and we the other. Your involvement in the conflict was not something we had expected nor intended, and we did not wish you any ill thoughts or harm.
 * Apache continues expanding 8000 km southeast in search of better water sources.
 * Kaliforno expands 7000 km southeast.
 * The Levantine Kingdom builds up its military as the Levant's New Syria colony expands 4000 sq km inland as the campaign against the Xhosa natives continues. Queen Mary sends her spies to the warzone to see if the Levant could profit from the war.
 * The Arabian Federation fights Ethiopia on several fronts as the war expands out of the Yemen to Eastern Africa, Indian Ocean, Red Sea, Gulf of Aden and the East Indies.
 * The Arabian Caliphate builds up its military and the Al-Khalil colony in OTL Maputo Bay inbetween the Chinese and Portuguese colonies in the region expands southwards by 300 sq km as more settlers go to the colony.
 * The Sultanate of Baghdad builds up its economy as the new territories are developed for economic prosperity. Baghdad sends military aid to help the Arabian Federation, too.
 * The Sultanate of Kuwait builds up its economy as the new border regions are integrated into the Sultanate. Kuwait sends military aid to help the Arabian Federation, too.
 * The Maldives builds up its military as military aid is sent to help the Arabian Federation.
 * The Republic of Comchellak expands its military to help enforce the Republic's control over its new territories and to send military aid to help the Arabian Federation in their new war.
 * Dimurats: Military Infrastructure, and Economy is improved. The King decides to fully enter the war against Ethiopia.
 * Wales's Parliament, including the People's House and Lord's House, continues to be a great reform, and they encourage the King of Wales to issue a Census, which he happily agrees to organize. The census is expected to be a great way to realize a lot about the people of Alban, and those of all of the Welsh colonies. Census papers are sent out, but results will not be released until late next year. Public education continues, which directly results in a larger middle class. The Sultan dies, and the two Emirs, while the Welsh-backed one has the upper hand, fight in a large civil war. Welsh support is sent to help the emir, but the war will likely last for a few years. The military and economy rise.
 * England, Scotland, Belfast, Cork, and Brittany all continue to learn and practice the Welsh language. King Gavin, who has looked to other nations, decides that Welsh is to be the official language of all his vassal states, but they may also retain their native tongue as an official language until, at latest, 1735. Cork and Belfast are almost at war with each other, which leads to increased tensions within the entire empire, but  King Gavin has so far remained uninvolved. The British are offered a special recognition in an attempt to ease the Celtic-Germanic tensions which are builiding up.  The WTC oversees the expansion of De Mor Tir 3000 sq km, as Aber Dinas also grows 3000 sq km. The Wesh Royal Coast is sent tons of missionaries, and it grows 10,000 sq km.
 * Russia updates its economy, with closer ties with Italy. Russian industry flourishes with new, closer ties with Italy. A combined scientific reserch project with the Russian academy of sciences, and the Italian one, is announced. Russia expands Kanada by  4500 sq km and Novorossiya by 500 sq km
 * Ethiopian diplomats approach the Russian leadership for a military alliance against its enemies. Whatever territories it wishes to take north of Arabia are promised to the Russians.
 * Russia is reminded of the alliance to both the German and Bavarian Empires and implores them not to trust the Ethiopians.
 * Ethiopia has done nothing to lose its ability to be trusted, and Russia is reminded that Ethiopia was attacked first.
 * Italia expands its economy. Russia and Italia persue closer ties.  Italia expands Nuovo Brescia by 8500 sq km along the coastline, Siam and Malacca by 5000 sq km and Aymaras and Nya Gyptios 10,000 sq km inland. Agricultural efforts put fertilizers in more and more crops, and some are sold to Russians...
 * The Emperor of Ethiopia makes a requests to Italia for aid against the Arabian invaders. Any lands they take in the war are theirs should they join in the fight.
 * You forget that Italy is Germany's largest ally and vice versa.
 * Actually, Orissa is. Remember who industrialized first now. ~Viva
 * Nope. Germany and Italy have fought most overseas wars together, and Orissa has only industrialized first due to a combination of trade with Italy and that chart.
 * That chart didn't mean diddly squat. I was third on the list yet I got yellow instead of orange. Orissa industrialized because Imp had whatever skills I didn't. ~Viva
 * Au contraire. I, too, was third on the chart, at ten points. For whatever reason, we are both yellow because I am far from Italy and you are far from Orissa and China, which were second on the list, which is why they have red, despite China having no relations with Italy.
 * China and Italy have been trading with each other for quite a while. They have actually recently become allies. Same with China and Orissa.
 * Ethiopia expands its infrastructure, military and economy, as well as those of the vassals. All vassals are commanded to send troops to the fight, and the payment of privateers to attack Arabian shipping is made.
 * Normandy: The military expands. The Alaskan and Hudson Bay colonies expand by 1100 sq km. The economy expands.
 * France, La Marche, Rhaetia, Lorraine, Tyrol and Occitania's militaries are updated, and Nouvelle Bourgogne expands 2500 sq km, while Brasilea and Baie d'Eric (Erik's Bay) expand by 1500 sq km and La Riviere expands by 1000 sq km.
 * In the United Maharajya, ideas sweep across the nation. As more air furnaces are built, the intellectual minds show more interest in the workings of the machines. Many scientists continue to work in the biological field, and many efforts begin to give fruit as it is discovered that crops need some specific needs. The NOC begins to develop more trading routes in Europe.  The SOC pumps in money to expand existing ports all around its routes to increase their capabilities and hopefully increase profit. They also begin to buy out competition from Palembang and Butung, to increase their economic holdings, all in the name of Mataram. Naya Mataram grows 200 km onto Sulwasi. Patagonshina grows by 4000 km in South America, focusing to expand on the Dutch colonial border. Cebu begins to vassalise Sulu, buying out many competitiors in its markets and beginning to make the nation economically dependent on them. It also forces through Missionaries, who begin to convert many of the remaining Muslims in the nation. The nation is shocked at the continued aggression of the Arabians, and soon go on to declare war. Fleets soon assist the Ethiopians in taking out the Arabian shipping and Navy.
 * Mataram continues to build up its military while the Spice trade only continues to increase their economic power.
 * Rajputana expands its colony by 4100 km inland. It sees a growth in trust with the United Maharajya as ideas of the air furnace are traded.
 * All the German states expand their militaries. Neu Berlin expands 6000 sq km towards Eriksmark, which expands 1500 sq km south. Vinland expands 1000 sq km north along the Antillian coast. The Kaiser makes a radical decision and arranges for Luxembourg and Aquataine, Georgia, Mysore, Travancore, Korea, and Lanka to aid the Arabian Federation, and the Kaiser is also increasing troops in all overseas territories in case Orissa attempts to attack farther away. Mysore is drilled the hardest, and we ask our great allies in Italy to aid us, as well as Myanmar.
 * Myanmar: Northern Myanmar continues growing in infrastructure and population. The population reaches 3,000,000 people. PTC continues to overtake the KTC and asks all nations to join the PTC for trade at low costs. Myanmar Afrika expands by 1000 sq km. Myanmar Oceania expands by 1000 sq km. Declares war on Arakan and invades it, ask for a mod to decide the outcome of the battle. The first steam blast furnaces are built.

1722
''' A Civil War begins in Korea between the supporters of the German vassal government and Korean rebels. The German supporters control the main Korean ports for now, severing the rebels connection to Ethiopia, ending all Korean aid to the Ethiopians. Dean should either learn to follow the rules or not play at all.'''


 * I'm thinking Korea is just removed from this algorithm altogether then. They ain't going to make a big difference to this war as they got their own war to focus on ~Von.
 * Sounds like metagaming too me. Can't lose the points so you remove him instead? Everyone, including Scraw, knew Dean was playing Korea, and didn't care up until you started the war. Now you've got a problem with it? ~Viva
 * A nation falls into civil war and you still think it cares about some international conflict? Its resources are spent on the war at home. That's not metagaming, it's logical. What's metagaming is Korea willingly getting involved in a conflict in India and the Middle East while it's in a civil war ~Von.
 * A civil war which you caused. And this wasn't just some civil war that spontanously appeared out of thin air, you caused it. Not when everyone knew Dean was Korea and didn't care before our war, but during a major conflict in which Korea would have given Ethiopia and Orissa a vital edge against Arabia, and manufactured the civil war in the middle of a conflict you were losing. Thus, metagaming. If you had done this before or after the war, then it would have passed. But since you did it during a conflict in which Korea's points really mattered, and points that Dean was giving to us, it was all to convenient for the civil war to happen now. ~Viva
 * No, Yank posted this event. I'm removing Korea from the algorithm in light of this event. Yank posted because the new situation makes sense. Otherwise, we have rebel Korea metagamingly supporting Ethiopia and German Korea metagamingly supporting Arabia. Thus, we'd have two Koreas which would cancel each other out in the algorithm which is metagaming because the Koreas would be interested more on the civil war ~Von.
 * Yank hates me. He made Persia revolt away as well when I was the United Kingdoms of Rome and Persia. Now another revolution where the King is actually leading the resistance? This will be a short civil war. DS|Fear the Mutated Dean Sims Bomb, Fear It 11:34, June 5, 2013 (UTC)


 * The Mononobe Shogunate builds up the military. More Taoist Temples and Shinto Shrines are built throughout the nation and in the colony of Miyako. Meanwhile, Okinawa Kingdom builds up its military. Also, Kasodani expands by 3300 sq km, Tojiko expands by 2000 sq km, Tōkaidō expands by 1200 sq km into Micronesia, Miyako expands into OTL Mainland Chile by 1000 sq km, and Kazami expands by 500 sq km. Taoism in Kasodani continues to rise in popularity and more Taoist Temples are built. Aid and clean up continues in Japan for those affected by the earthquake, tsunami and volcano.
 * Portugal, Castille, León, Navarra, Aragon and Granada prepare their militaries. Meanwhile in Aragon, María Fernández de Híjar gives birth to a girl, who is named Constança.

 * Saxon Diplomacy: The King of Saxony urges his esteemed Portuguese counterpart not to forget the many marriages between the Wettins and the Portuguese in the past (the current King is part Portuguese, I think). He asks that the Portuguese remain neutral in the war with Ethiopia, or even join the Arabian side.
 * The Ugyhur Khanate surrenders to China. Chinese troops settle the region down.
 * Hiya, I'm back! Italia, after an extended period of peace and rebuilding, is disturbed by news of the war in Arabia. With the Arabian Federation and the Levant as Italian allies and Ethiopia having diplomatically insulted us, we are honorbound to help Arabia. But with Orissa's involvement the nobles and the King are puzzled as how to proceed. The military is built up in preparation for entering the conflict while diplomats observe the situation more closely. Nuovo Brescia expands by 8500 sq km along the coastline. Nya Gyptios and the Aymaras expand by 10,000 sq km inland while Malacca expands by 5000 sq km. Yugoslavia re-ignites talks about unification with Montenegro now that the Lord of Montenegro is elderly and heirless, He signs a document that upon his death, will integrate Montenegro with Yugoslavia.
 * Saxon Diplomacy: The Saxon Ambassador to Italia asks that the promise made by the Italians a few decades ago; to assist Saxony retrieve its Saint Thomas mission from the Ethiopians, be honoured through Italia's joining the war on Arabia's side.
 * Ethiopia recently won a string a victories against the combined German and Arabian forces. We please request the aid of the Italian nation in defending our lands from the Arabian-led invaders. Also, we have no knowledge of insulting you anytime in the past. If you'd be so incline to remind us of this insult, we're sure we can rectify the matter.
 * Italia will not join the war on the Arabian side if Ethiopia withdraws claims to the Saint Thomas mission at OTL Perth and agrees to trade Tasmania for Nuovo Milano. Should Ethiopia agree to the terms listed then Italia would also like to see a Saxon withdrawal.
 * Ethiopia agrees. I be cutting me own throat for this. ~Viva
 * Whoa, whoa, whoa! When did I "diplomatically insult" Italia? ~Viva
 * Wales isn't fighting in this war. Plus your string of victories is moot because we don't know who wins the algorithm yet.
 * I removed Wales from Ethiopia's response. But on that other point, then why is Von speaking of "new territories" gained in the war? ~Viva
 * UMSHM: Eugen II, King of Saxony and Duke of Hesse turns twenty-one, officially coming of age. He is invested with the royal and ducal crown, sceptre and orb, and anointed by the Primate of the Catholic Germans. He makes a speech to the Landtag, thanking them for looking after his country during his minority, and stating his wish that they continue their stewardship of the country regardless of his age. More regiments are sent to Africa and the Australis colony, but a significant portion is still in Saxony.
 * Primatial City of Magdeburg: Despite the war raging around them, the Missionaries continue their conversions and education.
 * Cyprus continues to expand its economy, and declines the offer to enter the war between Arabia and Ethiopia, citing reasons of unpreparedness and also that the allies of Cyprus are on the opposing side to Ethiopia. Nea Lefkosia is expanded by 1500 sq km, Nea Larnaka is expanded by 1500 sq km and Nea Lemesos is expanded by 1500 sq km.
 * Ethiopia expands its military and economy, and sends additional troops to the front against the Arabian forces. The military and economies of all Ethiopian vassals are increased as they send troops to the warfront and mobilize their resources for the conflict.
 * The Lithuanians continue improving infrastructure to prepare for the upcoming invasion of Prussia.
 * The Levantine Kingdom builds up its military as the Levant's New Syria colony expands 4000 sq km inland as the campaign against the Xhosa natives continues. Queen Mary travels to Italia to meet her relatives to convince them to secretly supply the Arabian Federation via the Levant and otherwise remain neutral in the war.
 * The Arabian Federation fights Ethiopia on several fronts as the war expands out of the Yemen to Eastern Africa, Indian Ocean, Red Sea, Gulf of Aden and the East Indies. The Sultan thanks its German allies to coming to help the Federation against the Indian Maharajya who got involved somewhat needlessly.
 * The Arabian Caliphate builds up its military and the Al-Khalil colony in OTL Maputo Bay inbetween the Chinese and Portuguese colonies in the region expands southwards by 300 sq km as more settlers go to the colony. Caliph Ali praises the brave fighters battling to save the Muslims in Yemen from persecution and the Yemeni people themselves from Ethiopian ethnocide.
 * Why did you say I didn't commit ethnocide in the turn before last, and now use that as a casus belli in this turn? ~Viva
 * It's merely propaganda not a casus belli, not to mention the Caliphate isn't a coalition leader, anyway.
 * The Sultanate of Baghdad builds up its military as Baghdad sends more military aid to help the Arabian Federation.
 * The Sultanate of Kuwait builds up its  military as Kuwait sends more military aid to help the Arabian Federation. Sultan Faisal also considers joining the war fully to seize one of Ethiopia or India's colonies for his own.
 * The Maldives builds up its military as military aid is sent to help the Arabian Federation.
 * The Republic of Comchellak expands its military to help enforce the Republic's control over its new territories and to send more military aid to help the Arabian Federation in their new war. The Comchellak leadership decide not to get further involved in the war in case it leaves the Republic open to Welsh attack.
 * Reiches Großraum Bayern: Emperor Alexander speaks in the Reichstag, defending his support of the Arabian Federation in the war. The Weltzeituhr Zeitung continues to produce newspapers the first foriegn newsoffice is opened in Saxony. Followed by a Berlin office. The thermomenter grows in use as well as the new fire extingisher in fighting fires. The Klaveirtone (piano) continues to gain widespread appeal. The governement orders a new industrialization plan put into place, the goal is to make Bavaria a positive capital of industry in the future, these efforts are expected to take some time to complete.
 * Normandy:The military expands. The Hudson Bay and Alaskan colonies expand 1200 sq km. Mogadishu agrees to become a protectorate of Normandy, willing to begin the process of entering Norman sovereignty, which will take a few years. Diplomats continue to be sent to Oyo, Ifo and Benin.
 * The Mayan Empire decides to send military supplies in good will to its ally Germany, as redemption for the scars left by the last war. The Empire continues trade with European colonies and the Lakota. The Juun family continues setting up schools. More roads are built in the southern portion of the Empire to allow raw goods to be transported more easily. Training drills are conducted by the military. The Royal Science Academy continues work on scientific projects. Flax and tobacco are grown. Linen is produced in Mutul and Azteca. Kappelism continues gaining followers. Money is invested in regional projects to promote wealth and business. Middle class families continue rising to prominence in some of the more wealthy provinces, as well as some of the less wealthy provinces. The Empire expands north 8000 km. Xaman expands 5150 km and Haven expands 3100 km.
 * Apache continues expanding 8000 km southeast in search of better water sources.
 * Kaliforno expands 7000 km southeast.
 * The Great Haruwin of the Selk'nam: expands to the South and West of Teushen Yijich as vast ranches are set up by the quickly civilizing Teushen (I'm taking OTL Güer Aike Department, Argentina - as well as the Chilean land south of it to the Strait of Magellan). Meanwhile, half of the the newly re-named Royal Circus is dispatched on a voyage to Dutch Argentium, Orissan Patagonia, and Portuguese Rio da Prata. Great Chief Cornelius Tuch'huelpe, who still serves and the chief adviser of the circus, personally chooses the acts for the diplomatic mission and oversees their training. Two great ships are loaded with a company of fifteen acrobats, thirty dancing guanacos, ten fire-eaters, nine dancing seals, and five trained penguins. Also included is a new trick where an acrobat balances on the back of a speeding gunaco as the animal runs under a row of flaming hoops - with the rider somersaulting through each hoop. Permanent emissaries to each colony travel with the party along with five priests of K'onip and thirty monks. The monks seek permission to establish Selk'nam monasteries in Argentium and Rio da Prata - for the purpose of promoting the cult of Saint Maughold of K'onip as the first Atlantian saint and a patron for the continent. (Also, as always, my circus' success or failure in your colony is up to you ;-) 
 * France, La Marche, Rhaetia, Lorraine, Tyrol and Occitania's militaries are updated, and Nouvelle Bourgogne expands 2500 sq km, while Brasilea and Baie d'Eric (Erik's Bay) expand by 1500 sq km and La Riviere expands by 1000 sq km.
 * In the United Maharajya, ideas sweep across the nation. As more air furnaces are built, the intellectual minds show more interest in the workings of the machines. Many scientists continue to work in the biological field, and many efforts begin to give fruit as it is discovered that crops need some specific needs. The NOC begins to develop more trading routes in Europe. The SOC pumps in money to expand existing ports all around its routes to increase their capabilities and hopefully increase profit. They continue to buy out competition from Palembang and Butung, to increase their economic holdings, all in the name of Mataram. Naya Mataram grows 200 km onto Sulwasi.

Cebu begins to vassalise Sulu, buying out many competitiors in its markets and beginning to make the nation economically dependent on them. It also forces through Missionaries, who begin to convert many of the remaining Muslims in the nation. The war against the Arabians continues.
 * Mataram continues to build up its military while the Spice trade only continues to increase their economic power.
 * Rajputana expands its colony by 4100 km inland. It sees a growth in trust with the United Maharajya as ideas of the air furnace are traded.
 * Wales's Census, which was ordered by the King on behalf of the new Parliament, comes back with good success, but it comes back as negative for the King, who realizes his population is nothing in comparision to other nations. Notably, the public education continues, which is proven to have brought about a raise in the middle class. The civil war between the emirs continues, with the city of Fes and the Atlas region being firmly under pro-Welsh control. Welsh assistance continues. The military and economy rise.
 * Wales asks Italy, Orissa, Ethiopia, Russia, Japan and all other nations with huge populations to share technology with us and to help us grow our population.
 * Britain's population in 1775 was around six or seven million. You are fine.
 * We may be "fine", but we realize that other nations have insanely huge populations, and are worried that those nations could easily have success in a war against us. We want to grow our population to 25 million by 1800.
 * England, Scotland, Belfast, Cork, and Brittany grow their militaries and economies. Cork and Belfast have their tensions lowered when a study comes out showing the utter decimation their nations would face under a war between each other. British-Welsh relations are mostly resolved, as the King of England is granted a large sum of gifts and gold from Gavin III. The WTC oversees the expansion of De Mor Tir 3000 sq km, as Aber Dinas also grows 3000 sq km. The Wesh Royal Coast is sent tons of missionaries, and it grows 10,000 sq km.
 * Korea: The Revolution continues and the King comes out as supporting the rebels, stating that Korea is a free land, and no longer shall we be puppets of other nations. Korea will make its own path, and deal with its consequences and benefits. With this statement and the King, who officialy is the head of the Korea before the Revolution breaking out, taking the rebels side, this gives the rebels a large amount of claim to ruling Korea legally. The King declares that all German and European civillians are not to be harmed, and that there property adn the property of all Euroepan nations will not be harmed. But with the King siding with the rebels, the morale is greatly boosted, and Rebel forces take the name of the Korean Liberation Army (KLA), and after a bloody battle near Seoul, it takes the city and a majority of southern Korea. A battle in the north takes Pyonyang and much of northern Korea as well, leaving only the central areas of Korea under puppet control. But that will have to wait til later, as the year is drawing to a close and the KLA needs to rebuild the devastated regions under it control. The two regions of Korea under KLA control are allowed to elect representatives to a new Korean Assembly, which is sort of a legislature and is made in hope of making the people aprove of the KLA and freedom from German influence.
 * Kingdom of the Netherlands: King Niejmen I continues to improve the military, focusing on the navy, and also economy expands. Argentium colony expands 3000 km north. Chile colony expands the north coast 1000 km. Netherlands continue sending the army.
 * Oldeburg, Liege, Acech-Pasai, Kongo, Dutch Persia, Iceland expand economy and army. Kongo expands 10,000 sq km north.

1723

 * The Mononobe Shogunate builds up the military. More Taoist Temples and Shinto Shrines are built throughout the nation and in the colony of Miyako. Meanwhile, Okinawa Kingdom builds up its military. Also, Kasodani expands by 3300 sq km, Tojiko expands by 2000 sq km, Tōkaidō expands by 1200 sq km into Micronesia, Miyako expands into OTL Mainland Chile by 1000 sq km, and Kazami expands by 500 sq km. Taoism in Kasodani continues to rise in popularity and more Taoist Temples are built. Aid and clean up continues in Japan for those affected by the earthquake, tsunami and volcano. Shogun Mononobe Nobukazu accepts the Welsh offer, and also asks them for a trade agreement.
 * What was the Welsh offer, again? LOL.

 * Wales asks Portugal for an alliance.
 * France: With the growth expected by King François. Carthage is officially make part of the Crown of France, (he allowed me influence over him and his Queen is married to my king). This causes a partial division of the Empire forming within itself the Duchies of Numidia and of Leptis Magna, the Colonies expand, La Marche, Rhaetia, Lorraine, Tyrol and Occitania's militaries are updated, and Nouvelle Bourgogne expands 2500 sq km, while Brasilea and Baie d'Eric (Erik's Bay) expand by 1500 sq km and La Riviere expands by 1000 sq km. In Carthage the King and Queen enter the city with a Cross held high and shouting "In Tui nomen Nobis Patri."

A new alliance is offered for the Mayans and as an approach to re-establish the broken ties with once great allied nations.
 * Collie, could you keep posting for me for more time? My family is on financial issues and we are trying to decrease the incoming bills. I will come a few times, but not as often as before, so could you keep posting for me, please?
 * What part of Carthage are you giving Bavaria in exchange for an alliance? send me the map edit to my talkpage.Andr3w777 (talk) 20:20, June 5, 2013 (UTC)
 * Reiches Großraum Bayern: Bavarian Cyrenaica begins to colonize the parts of black near Bavarian holdings (Collie, I own a portion of Cyrenaica as per a deal struck with Airlinesguy. It is in the southern part and borders Carthage. My question is how do I colonize in the black area?) The Weltzeituhr Zeitung begins printing news on the war and using propaganda to bolster support of the war in Europe. The Klaveirtone (piano) continues to gain widespread appeal. Industry is expanded. As a gesture of goodwill to our longstanding ally, Italia, a gift of 200 Klaveirtones. Education undergoes a modernization campaign. The Emperor travels to Portugal to discuss a trade deal. Johanne Ambrosius becomes a famous and much sought after composer from the city of Nuremburg, Ambrosius is incredibly talented on the harpschord, klaviertone, voilin and organs. His first major work titled the Munchen Concertos garners much success, the Emperor even watches all six concertos. Highly pleased, the Emperor gifts Ambrosius 200,000 Bavarian Adlers as well as an honorary title (Johanne Ambrosius is an ATL of Johann Sebastian Bach, whose middle name was Ambrosius.)
 * France: We offer a division of the Carthaginian Empire Eastern Border with the Bavarian Cyrenaica and an alliance and non-aggression pact.
 * Bavaria accepts.
 * First, I think you just post 'Bavarian Cyrenaica expands 10,000 sq km', and can I get my land back if you get adequate land from the Carthaginian Empire? Airlinesguy (talk) 06:27, June 5, 2013 (UTC)
 * I will lease the territory from you for 50 years, this will give me time to expand my colonies and gain my Carthaginian territories.
 * You can't just expand a colony by 10,000 sq km. Since it's your first, it's got to be 200 sq km for the first five years.
 * Italia thanks Bavaria for the Klaviertones and many musicians in Italia rapidly flock to operas that feature them.]
 * Italia declares its stance of neutrality in regards to the Arabian-Ethiopian war but also declares its moral support for the Arabian attack on Yemen citing the closer cultural ties between the two areas. Italia continues to trade with both sides allowing significant economic growth. Italia hands over Nuovo Milano to Ethiopia and receives Tasmania which is incorporated into Nuovo Brescia. Meanwhile Italian troops are stationed at the Saint Thomas mission as Ethiopia hands over the territory to the Confederation troops. Italia seeks a diplomatic end to the war and relays the Saxon offer of a truce, Saxon withdrawal and a non-agression pact for 100 years. Italia also encourages the other belligerent states to come to the negotiating table. Malacca expands by 5000 sq km while the Aymaras and Nya Gyptios expand by 10,000 sq km each. Nuovo Brescia expands by 8500 sq km along the coastline.
 * Ethiopia agrees to the truce with Saxony, and requests that Saxony leave our territory.
 * Cyprus continues to expand its economy. Nea Lefkosia is expanded by 1500 sq km, Nea Larnaka is expanded by 1500 sq km and Nea Lemesos is expanded by 1500 sq km.
 * UMSHM: A general ceasefire is declared in West Africa as the government continues negotiations with the Ethiopians (via Italian mediators) for the return of Saint Thomas. However, troops remain in currently occupied portions of Ethiopian West Africa until the negotiations are finalised. The Chief Minister joins the call by the Italians for both sides to come to the table of negotiation. This is 1723, nations are too enlightened to solve conflicts by war alone. He suggests that the main belligerents (Ethiopia and the Arab confederation) do a land swap (or land for sphere of influence somewhere else swap). This would save countless lives and prevent the devastation of another "World War". The Sachsische Zeitung and its more global-minded mother-paper, the Weltuhr Zeitung become more widely read due to the war. The Harpsichord remains more popular than the Klaviertone, but the latter is gaining popularity, especially with the rise of Johann Ambrosius. The King-Duke requests the composer come on a tour of the Wettin Lands in the near future. In other news, an election is planned for next year.
 * Johanne Ambrosius declares he will gladly hold a concert in Saxony, just give him a date.
 * UMSHM: The Primate is greatly pleased at the prospect of having the Saint Thomas Mission once more, and prepares a large group of Deacons and priests to re-Catholicise the area. Missionary activity on the Aru Islands continues, due in part to the ceasefire.?
 * Korea: The KLA officialy becomes the army of the Kingdom of Korea. The puppet regime, or whats left of it, soon takes up the name the Korean Nationalist Front (KNF), and continues attempting to resist the legitimate government of King Din-Ho I. After the cold season ends, the King and the Korean Assembly both agree to launch one final campaign against the KNF, which starts in March with an offensive from northern and southern Korea into KNF central Korea. The campaign is bloody, but slowly and surely the Korean forces conquer the central region of the peninsula, liberating their country from foreign influence. King Din-Ho declares an era of unity and nationalism for the Korean peoples, and construction of new roads and harbors begins across the newly re-united nation. An alliance is offered to The Mononobe Shogunate and India (sorry, can't remember the name). Italia is offered trading privileges and the free use of Korean ports in return for an alliance.

The Russian Duma grants the Right to free speech in the Duma, so that no man that is member of the Duma can be held accountable for his words outside the Duma, and the freedom from arrest 40 days after cession of the Duma,. this type of act was already happening and de facto practiced and has been in place since the founding of the Duma. it is just formilized by the Rights of Man act,  that added these lines to the Great Ryad of The Russian realm: "No Duma or Veche shal make any laws restricting their right to free speech, Dissent, and Truth to Citizens of the Realms of the Russian tsar while within Great Russia's boundries. Members of the Duma of Novgorod shall also be granted immunity from the law up to 40 days since the last session of the Duma attended, else the arrest be political or until proven otherwise in front of a judge." Russia officially declares neutrality on the conflict regarding Ethiopia and Arabia.
 * It's too early for you to industrialize.
 * I'm not industrializing.They were brought over from Italy in a joint science thing...we still don't know how to make them, but our excuse in 1740 will be we reverse-engineered one and started making our own. There is only one in those cities mentioned.
 * The Minskite Duma passes a similar law to the Russian Rights of Man act, works on military.

As more air furnaces are built, the intellectual minds show more interest in the workings of the machines. Many scientists continue to work in the biological field, and begin to realise that changing the crops in a field could help them grow. The NOC begins to develop more trading routes in Europe. The SOC pumps in money to expand existing ports all around its routes to increase their capabilities and hopefully increase profit. They continue to buy out competition from Palembang and Butung, to increase their economic holdings, all in the name of Mataram. Naya Mataram grows 200 km onto Sulwasi. Patagonshina grows by 4000 km in South America, focusing to expand on the Dutch colonial border.

He begins to use new technologies to increase life span, birth rates and life expectancy. He sends military aid to fight with Germany, a notable ally, and asks his vassal to do the same. Public education contiues to be powerful, and Welsh grows as a regional language as a result. Morocco is safely under the control of the Welsh-backed Emir, who swears fealty to King Gavin III in Gavin's trip to Morocco. The military and economy rise.
 *  England, Scotland, Belfast, Cork, and Brittany    grow their militaries and economies. All vassal agree to send military suplies to fight with Germany. The WTC oversees the expansion of De Mor Tir 3000 sq km, as Aber Dinas also grows 3000 sq km. The Wesh Royal Coast is sent missionaries, and it grows 10,000 sq km.

It is also reported that most of the nobility in the new Teushen colonies has converted to Catholicism and churches are being build quickly. The island of K'onip and the capital city of Ona Yagich are almost entirely Catholic, with the citizens of K'onip being especially pious as the devotion to St. Maughold grows. The Franciscans of K'onip increasingly practice rites specifically invented by Maughold, and after ancountering their fellow Franciscans from the mainland, realize that they have become distinct. They send word to the Pope asking to be granted their own order, the Maugholdians, who are to be distinguished by their seal-skin habits. The Hain of Lao Tzu is increasingly relegated to the rural areas but still enjoys the support of 40% of the population. The remaining 10% continue to practice pure Taoism under the Mononobe-trained clergy in the city of Miyako Yagich. However, Taoists have far more influence than thier population suggests, as they control the fishing and shipbuilding operations. The Royal Circus returns from their successful tour, having left behind the emissaries and priests. (Portugal and Netherlands please respond to my offers to build Maugholdian monasteries in your colonies - I think this can be a unifying thing).
 * Reiches Großraum Bayern: The Weltzeituhr continues to be produced in mass numbers. The Bavarian Minisrty of Foriegn relations asks France what portions of Carthage is owned by Bavaria. The war continues, though support for the war begins to drop dramtically as it is being seen as a pointless war for Bavaria by many of the populace. However, the Emperor declares that Bavaria will remain in the war, citing Bavaria is honorbound to its allies and will aid in all ways. The Department of Population Logistics announces the results of the 1722 census and it is revealed that more and more Bavarians are migrating to the cities, with Munchen, Nuremburg and Prague showing the largest growth, up almost 20% from previous studies. Industry continues to expand, Bavaria asks Italia or Russia for help in manufacturing its own furnaces.

A large task force of missionaries follows the soldiers into the regained territory, and begins re-introducing Catholicism to a susceptible, and largely sympathetic, population.


 * Saint Thomas is Perth? ~Viva
 * Yes, callum established it centuries ago. Scandinator (talk)
 * Actually, having looked back at my posts which established Saint Thomas (in 1680), it appears it was actually located at OTL Darwin. Ethiopia began its occupation of Saint Thomas (Darwin) in 1700. A mission was established in Perth even earlier (1649), but it was occupied by the Kooris in 1699. Since they have been defeated, it should technically be mine...since no one else has seems to want it...Callumthered (talk) 21:11, June 6, 2013 (UTC) 
 * Myanmar Oceania is built on the ruins of St. Thomas after the Koori defeat.

 * Dimurats: military, infrastructure and economy are improved.
 * UMSHM: Saint Boniface in Australis is expanded 1000 km sq along the coast toward newly-regained Saint Thomas (which is the Ethiopian-coloured blob closest to the Saxon colony). Ethiopian settlers in Saint Thomas are allowed to remain, so long as they swear an oath of allegiance to the Saxon throne. In Saxon West Africa, a small university is founded to cater for the growing number of immigrant Germans, as well as for Africans deemed intelligent enough to enter.

 * So, just for the record, Saint Thomas is OTL Darwin (and must be the small blob with Ethiopian colourings in the North of Australia). OTL Perth, it appears, belongs to Myanmar. Callumthered (talk) 10:43, June 7, 2013 (UTC)

 * The Republic of Comchellak expands its economy as the new territories are developed and the war brings lots of ships to the Republic to port and re-supply.
 * Russia updates its military. Due to the New laws concerning the difference between citizens and non-citizens, the Duma and all the Veches approve of a law that would aid in "naturalizing" foreign citizens. This process is easier for traders, who only have to live in Russia for one year, as opposed to others, who have to do so for five, and all must know Russian or the regional language. More ships are built and two other North Stars enter construction.
 * Normandy: The military expands. Mogadishu is now a protectorate. The Hudson Bay and Alaskan colonies expand by 1600 sq km.
 * Mali: Mali pushes 10,000 sq km to the NW. Mossi, Gabu and Wolof contribute to the economy. The military expands as well due to the vassals. The economy is also stimulated by the trade pact with the Netherlands.
 * France, La Marche, Rhaetia, Lorraine, Tyrol and Occitania's militaries are updated, and Nouvelle Bourgogne expands 2500 sq km, while Brasilea and Baie d'Eric (Erik's Bay) expand by 1500 sq km and La Riviere expands by 1000 sq km.
 * The Mayan Empire continues to send military supplies to Germany. The Empire continues trade with European colonies and the Lakota. The Juun family continues setting up schools. More roads are built in the southern portion of the Empire to allow raw goods to be transported more easily. Training drills are conducted by the military.

Xaman expands 5150 km and Haven expands 3100 km.
 * Apache: continues expanding 8000 km southeast in search of better water sources.
 * Kaliforno: expands 7000 km southeast.
 * Wales continues to send aid to its close ally, Germany, in the war. Wales continues to make use of new technology to increase its population, and that of other states around it. Public education continues, the military and economy rise, and the middle class grows. The klaviertone grows in popularity.
 * England, Scotland, Belfast, Cork, and Brittany grow their militaries and economies. All vassals continue to send military support to Germany. The WTC oversees the expansion of De Mor Tir 3000 sq km, as Aber Dinas also grows 3000 sq km. The Wesh Royal Coast and Morocco grow by 10,000 sq km each, and both are sent missionaries.
 * The usual, if you wonder why I am posting for Rex. He said that he will not be able to post until after tomorrow, and asked me to post for him.
 * The Germanic states expand their militaries. Victory is near for the brave and strong German soldiers as Orientalian areas as well as others regions have been captured from the nearly defeated Indians and Orissans. Eriksmark is annexed to Neu Berlin as they have connected. Now they expand inland (east) towards Vinland by 6000 sq km, which is expanding along the coast of ANTILLIA, not GREENLAND. Chimu expands 10,000 sq km north. Vinland expands 3000 sq km north along the Antillian coast. The klaviertone is introduced to the Germanic main states. After years of cooperation and secret infiltration, Sindhustan agrees to become a client state of the GEAT Co. This is hailed as a major milestone for the company, Meanwhile, Gibraltar allies itself with Morocco. Neu Berlin is upgraded to Crown Colony of the Germanic Empire.
 * The Lithuanians continue to fight the Prussians.

1726

 * The Mononobe Shogunate builds up the military. More Taoist Temples and Shinto Shrines are built throughout the nation and in the colony of Miyako. Meanwhile, Okinawa Kingdom builds up its military. Also, Kasodani expands by 3300 sq km, Tojiko expands by 2000 sq km, Tōkaidō expands by 1200 sq km, Miyako expands into OTL Mainland Chile by 1000 sq km, and Kazami expands by 500 sq km. Taoism in Kasodani continues to rise in popularity and more Taoist Temples are built.
 * Portugal, Aragon, Castille, León, Navarra and Granada's economies improve. Meanwhile in Portugal, Leonor de Avis gives birth to a girl, who is named Urraca. Meanwhile, Santo Amaro expands 500 sq km, Guiné expands 500 sq km, Loanda expands 500 sq km, Sofala expands 400 sq km, and Índia expands 500 sq km. Meanwhile in Brasil, São Vicente expands 4300 sq km, and in Paranaguá, a village called Nossa Senhora do Desterro is founded, on an island called Santa Catarina by the Portuguese.and In Rio da Prata, Paraguai expands 4200 sq km. Meanwhile, the 1724 Selk'nam offer to establish monasteries is received, although quite late, and accepted.


 * The Great Haruwin of the Selk'nam completes its gun manufacturing project, ensuring that every Selk'nam soldier is armed with a modern musket. The Maugholdian Order embarks on a monastery-building project around the Haruwin, in addition to the community at K'onip, the group in Ona Yagich builds a formal monastery, while permanent monasteries are built on the sites of missions in Gununa Yagich, Teushen Yijich, and (controversially) the Taoist stronghold Miyako Yagich. The Taoist nobles of the area complain that the Catholic Church is overstepping its bounds by infringing on the only monolithically Taoist area of the country. However, the head of the Maugholdian Order, Friar Patrick says that the word of Christ must be spread everywhere. The Hain of Lao Tzu, however, does not object to the construction of new monasteries as their followers are mostly in the rural regions.  Late in the year, a warrior in Teushen Yijich claims to have been miraculously healed after suffering a mortal wound in a skirmish with raiding border tribes - attributing the event to his prayers to the martyr king David Chongat Yagich. The warrior claims that, after losing arn arm and nearly bleeding to death, gangrene infected his amputated limb. After having been told by doctors that he had just hours to live, he claims that that gangrene in his limb disappeared. Grateful for his life, the warrior immediately joins the local monastery, where he takes the name of Brother Ignatius. Great Chief Cornelius Tuch'huelpe sends word of this miracle to the Pope in Avignon,  asking that the miracle be seen as evidence for the beatification of King David Chongat Yagich. 
 * Cyprus continues to develop its economy. Cyprus also continues to send aid to Cyrenaica to stabilise the nation's food imports. Crete and Anatolia also send aid. Nea Lefkosia is expanded by 1500 sq km, Nea Larnaka is expanded by 1500 sq km and Nea Lemesos is expanded by 1500 sq km.
 * Myanmar: Myanmar Afrika expands by 1000 sq km. Myanmar Oceania expands by 1000 sq km. Urbanization continues using the lumber in Northern Myanmar. Taoist becomes the largest religion in Myanmar and Taoist Temples and monastries are built. It is followed by Islam and Christianity. The King becomes a Taoist, increasing happiness and stability in the nation.
 * UMSHM: King-Duke Eugen II is still in search of a wife. In politics, an election is held (a year late) and CM Hans' progressives are deprived from their majority. The conservatives led by Graf Franz zu Heinelburg form a coalition government with the "Colonial Faction" of imperialists. The Saint Boniface colony expands  1000 sq km East towards Saint Thomas. Just out of interest, could it be possible for this colony (and all Australian colonies not in the East) to expand a bit faster? Most of the land I'm expanding into is basically a desert, and barely populated, even today. I think it is unrealistic that it is subject to the same expansion rates as a colony expanding into reasonably well-populated (and arable) Africa or North America. More shares of the REIAC are bought by Aboriginal groups, and the Bishop purchases 20% of shares for the Diocese of Western Australis. In Africa, the colony recovers from the damage caused by the war. The university accepts its second intake of students, and the more fashionable settlers and merchants read the Weltzeituhr and the Sachsische Zeitung regularly, despite the fact that all news is outdated by the time it is printed. This causes the Governor to authorise the printing of the Westafrikanische Zeitung, a local imprint of the Sachsische Zeitung. It covers local stories as well as shipping and merchant news. The colony's first Klaviertone arrives, and causes quite a stir at a salon held by the Governor. The colony expands 1000 sq km South along the coast, and settlers arrive proportionally.
 * Confederation of the Rhine: (Excluding Saxony and Luxemburg) Another expeditionary force is sent to assist the allies in Saxon ships requisitioned by the Confederation with His majesty's permission.
 * Primatial Magdeburg: The Primate, hearing of the creation of a missionary order in the Antarctic (ie Tierra del Fuego) by its Catholic ruler, sends an emmisary to the Great Haruwin to establish relations between the two states. His Emminence also sends a group of missionaries from the Holy Wettin Missionary Order to assist the Antarcticans establish an effective missionary corps. Missionary activity expands with the borders of the Afrian and Australisian colonies. On the Aru Islands, enough locals have been converted by the Order to merit the creation of a Diocese: the Catholic Diocese of the East Indies.
 * Italia is horrified at the outcome of the war and seeks to find a way to settle the territorial issue in such a way that future incidents will not occur. Humanist ideas continue to spread in Italia with many being to view slavery as immoral. After a meeting of several lords and governors with vast land holdings in Central Nuovo Venexia, they simultaneously agree to release their slaves and outlaw slavery in their territories. This causes the slavery market to collapse overnight and the colony of St John (West Africa) to become unviable. Plans are made to exchange it for other lands elsewhere on the planet. The economy is expanded and Italia declares war on the state of Ternate to expand Nuovo Brescia. Nuovo Brescia is able to expand at 8500 sq km with the influx of soldiers and the Aymaras and Nya Gyptios expand by 10,000 sq km while Malacca expands by 5000 sq km.
 * Which war are you shocked about? Germany and Arabia vs India and Ethiopia?
 * The Levantine Kingdom builds up its military as the Levant's New Syria colony expands 4000 sq km inland as the campaign against the Xhosa natives continues. The Levant seeing the war is coming to a close begins wondering if it should join to invade Sudan to expand the Kingdom southwards into Sudan. Queen Mary tells her Generals who are planning this not to bother and to remain neutral.
 * The Arabian Federation continues the war on several fronts. As the war enters its 6th year of the conflict, the Sheik council re-elects Emir Jassim of Qatar to be Sultan for his second term. This is done to ensure that the Federation stays on track with its leadership and that a change in Sultan could devastate war efforts which are currently going very well. This annoys Emir Badr al Din of Shaybah whose armies had captured lots of land in Yemen and earned him the nickname the White Emir of Victory. This war hero came second in the Sultan elections, and he begins planning a grand campaign to capture the rest of Yemen and to ensure his election next year on the basis of his war victories, intelligence and political power as Emir of Shaybah.
 * The Arabian Caliphate continues the war on several fronts. As elections loom next year, Sheik Khalil of Mecca looks set to stay in power due to his successful war campaign in Yemen.
 * The Sultanate of Baghdad builds up its military as Baghdad sends more military aid to help the Arabian Federation.
 * The Sultanate of Kuwait builds up its military as Kuwait sends more military aid to help the Arabian Federation.
 * The Maldives builds up its economy as the war brings lots of ships to the Maldives to port and re-supply.
 * The Republic of Comchellak expands its economy as the new territories are developed and the war brings lots of ships to the Republic to port and re-supply.
 * The Mayan Empire continues to send military supplies to Germany. The Empire continues trade with European colonies and the Lakota. The Juun family continues setting up schools. Most of the roads in the southern part of the Empire are now updated, making travel easier. Training drills are conducted by the military. The Royal Science Academy continues work on scientific projects. Flax and tobacco are grown. Linen is produced in Mutul and Azteca. Kappelism continues gaining followers. Money is invested in regional projects to promote wealth and business. Middle class families continue rising to prominence in some of the more wealthy provinces, as well as some of the less wealthy provinces. The Empire expands north 8000 km. Xaman expands 5150 km and Haven expands 3100 km.
 * Apache: continues expanding 8000 km southeast in search of better water sources.
 * Kaliforno: expands 7000 km southeast.
 * The Lithuanians continue to fight the Prussians.
 * Reiches Großraum Bayern: The Weltzeituhr continues to be produced in mass numbers. Due to the distance needed to travel to the colonies, the Weltzeituhr opens the Der Afrikanische Colonial Digest which will report on more local news as well as merchant related news pieces. Industry continues to expand, Bavaria asks Italia or Russia for help in manufacturing its own furnaces. Johanne Ambrosius continues to produce world class symphonies. He travels to Bavarian Carthage to host a major concert there. Klaviertones continue to grow in popularity, with many Bavarian artists almost completely replacing their harpsichords in preference to the superior sound of the klaviertone. Many Bavarians of the upper and middle classes adopt a more humanist stance and begin to write on secular ideas as well as the "Law of Man" in which all men are equal. The Reichstag is approached with a bill to outlaw salvery, a practice that was never very big in Bavaria anyway, Reichstag is expected to make a decision next year. The war still rages on in defense of the Empire's allies. Bavarian Carthage and Bavarian Cyrenaica both expand by 200 sq km each. (Is it possible to add Bavaria's holdings in Carthage and Cyrenaica on the map, they still aren't displayed.)
 * Look, you won't get help with furnaces until your turn for industrialization comes.
 * Somali Sultanate: We mobilize our armies and declare war on Ethiopia and join our Muslim brothers.
 * Normandy: The military expands. The Hudson Bay and Alaskan colonies grow by 1800 sq km. Mogadishu is now a protectorate. Plans for the puppetization of Oyo are formed.
 * Russia is working on its military, while the Duma elects a new Posadnik, Mistislav Arkadich Domolomov is appointed as a result. More and more, the members of the Duma start grouping themselves in "parties".
 * France, La Marche, Rhaetia, Lorraine, Tyrol and Occitania's militaries are updated, and Nouvelle Bourgogne expands 2500 sq km, while Brasilea and Baie d'Eric (Erik's Bay) expand by 1500 sq km and La Riviere expands by 1000 sq km.
 * Wales continues to send aid to its close ally, Germany, in the war. Wales continues to make use of new technology to increase its population, and that of other states around it. Public education continues, the military and economy rise, and the middle class grows. The klaviertone grows in popularity.
 * England, Scotland, Belfast, Cork, and Brittany grow their militaries and economies. All vassals continue to send military support to Germany. The WTC oversees the expansion of De Mor Tir 3000 sq km, as Aber Dinas also grows 3000 sq km. The Wesh Royal Coast and Morocco grow by 10,000 sq km each, and both are sent missionaries.
 * The Germanic states expand their militaries. The great war is almost done. Neu Berlin expands 6000 sq km inland. Vinland expands 3000 sq km north and west along the Antillian coast. Chimu expands 10,000 sq km north. Celebrations across the Empire begin.
 * In the United Maharajya, the war takes its toll. Land hard fought for is lost to the Germans, and people flee in huge numbers to territories controled by the army. It is uncertain as to what will happen. Many scientists continue to work in the biological field, and begin to realise that changing the crops in a field could help them grow. The NOC begins to develop more trading routes in Europe. The SOC pumps in money to expand existing ports all around its routes to increase their capabilities and hopefully increase profit. They continue to buy out competition from Palembang and Butung, to increase their economic holdings, all in the name of Mataram. Naya Mataram grows 200 km onto Sulwasi. Patagonshina grows by 4000 km in South America, focusing to expand on the Dutch colonial border. Cebu begins to vassalise Sulu, buying out many competitiors in its markets and beginning to make the nation economically dependent on them. It also forces through Missionaries, who begin to convert many of the remaining Muslims in the nation. The war against the Arabians continues, helping the Ethiopians push the Arabians out. Yet more troops drafted help push out the Germans as well. The army is improved to bolster defences.
 * Mataram continues to build up its military while the Spice trade only continues to increase their economic power. Being a co-belligerent, they send in a lot more troops.
 * Rajputana expands its colony by 4100 km inland. It sees a growth in trust with the United Maharajya as ideas of the air furnace are traded. Its army is improved and re-organised.
 * Ethiopian forces fall back to the homeland to lick their wounds and re-organize their defenses. The military is expanded to compensate for the losses, with the aid of the Indian military helping to bolster the Ethiopian war effort. The economy is expanded as well to help provide for the military effort as well, with many Ethiopian citizens employed in the munition factories to provide the war materiel needed for the conflict. Wärqama is expanded by 1500 km, and Yäwah Wäjäb expanded by 1000 km. The colonies of Borona and Koräbta Däset are both expanded by 250 km each. The third years of vassaling the Igbo continues.
 * Adal expanded its military and economy, as well as sending additional troops to assist the Ethiopian military. The Ethiopian population overtakes what little is left of the Adalese culture, expunging the remnants of the Muslim nation from historical records.
 * Warsangali expands its military and economy, and sends military forces to the front with Arabia to aid in pushing the Muslim threat back. The Ethiopian population continues to grow, and wartime fears grow to a fever pitch, seeing Ethiopian Christian refugees recently arrived from Yemen murder large numbers of Warsangali Muslims in revenge for the loss of their homeland.
 * Yoruba expands its military and economy, sending monetary support to Ethiopian and whatever warriors are free for combat to the Ethiopians. The Ethiopian population, including many refugees take up residence in Yoruba.
 * Maynila expands its military and economy, sending fresh troops and warships to Ethiopia to support the homeland. The Ethiopian population now consists of 50% of the total population in Maynila, and marginalization of the Filipino population continues.
 * Khmer Koch expands its military and economy, sending military support back to Ethiopia as it can. The Ethiopian population continues to expand with many coming from Ethiopian refugees fleeing the loss of Yemen.
 * The Southern Maori Kingdom expands its military and economy, sending whatever support it can to the fight in Africa. The Ethiopians on the South Island move into the cities while pushing the Maori into the country. Any that convert to Christianity and take up Ethiopian spouses are given priority over those who refuse. The Ethiopian government then tightens its grip over any dissent to the new policy.

1727

 * Portugal, León, Navarra, Aragon, Castille and Granada prepare their militaries. Meanwhile in Aragon, Maria Fernández de Híjar gives birth to a boy, who is named Ferran.

Taoism in Kasodani continues to rise in popularity and more Taoist Temples are built.
 * The Lithuanians end the war with the Prussians, annexing a fifth of the nation. Grand Duke Sigismund creates plans for an eventual Second Prussian War, but for now the army stands down. The Grand Duke still plans on eventually having the Lithuanian flag fly over the Prussian capital of Konigsburg. The Lithuanians grant German regional recognition in the conquered territory, but begin educating the former Prussians in Lithuanian.
 * Cyprus continues to expand its army and navy. Cyprus expands its colonies. Nea Lefkosia is expanded by 1500 sq km, Nea Larnaka is expanded by 1500 sq km and Nea Lemesos is expanded by 1500 sq km.
 * Crete also expands its army and navy.
 * Cyrenaica expands 10,000 sq km into Africa.
 * The Great Haruwin of the Selk'nam continues to invest in its military and economic capabilities. Great Chief Cornelius Tuch'huelpe also announces an initiative to boost his population, which he believes will be important to the Haruwin's development of its agricultural and fishing industries. He announces the "Chief's Guanaco" reward, which awards two guanaco to any family who brings their infant firstborn or fourth-born child to the Ona Yagich to be blessed at the Cathedral, and five guanacos to any family presenting their eighth-born. A grand award of foty guanacos is awarded to a family, chosen by chance, among those who present an infant for baptism at the Cathedral on the feast day of Saint Maughold of K'onip (such is the beginning of the great national "pilgrimage of mothers" on Saint Maughold's Day). Great Chief Cornelius Tuch'huelpe also received the delegation from Magdeburg, whom he takes to the island of K'onip to meet with Friar Partrick, the head of the Maugholdian Order. A decision is made that the Holy Wettin Missionary Order will be given a permanent monastery near Ona Yagich, and they are asked to assist in the missionary work among the newly integrated Teushen people. In return, Friar Patrick asks the emissaries to take the miraculously healed Brother Ignatius and ten others back to Magdeburg, in order to establish a monastery under the Rule of Saint Maughold. He claims to have seen a vison in which he saw Ignatius with a group of pale-faced, red-haired Europeans in Maugholdian habits, and believes that his vision must be fulfilled in Magdeburg. He also says he expects to one day meet black-skinned men, as his vision also included Maugholdian friars of that appearance. On hearing tell of the Magdeburgian colonies in Australis, he also asks that five of his men be allowed to found a mission there. 
 * ​Primatial Magdeburg: The primate agrees to all the requests and accepts the offer, and preparations are made for groups of Maugholdians to come and preach in Magdeburg and in Saint Thomas.
 * Reiches Großraum Bayern: The Weltzeituhr continues to be produced in mass numbers. The Der Afrikanische Colonial Digest continues print. Industry continues to expand. Many Bavarians of the upper and middle classes adopt a more humanist stance and begin to write on secular ideas as well as the "Law of Man" in which all men are equal. The Reichstag was approached last year with a bill to outlaw salvery, a practice that was never very big in Bavaria anyway, Reichstag votes in favor of banning slavery in all Bavaria's holdings. The war is coming to a close. Bavarian Carthage and Bavarian Cyrenaica both expand by 200 sq km each. (Is it possible to add Bavaria's holdings in Carthage and Cyrenaica on the map? They still aren't displayed.)
 * On the 1730 map.
 * If your population's getting humanist, and if you haven't done it already, I recommend emancipating your serfs. Callumthered (talk)
 * China expands its military and economy. New Manchuria expands by 5000 sq km while Baitudi expands by 1000 sq km. Meanwhile in Shanghai, citizens become discontented over China's lack of progress. Shanghai, which has become one of China's most important cities due to trading, has grown technologically while the rest of Ming China has fallen behind its potential. The Shanghai Revolution, a term coined for the booming industry in the city, has not grown past the city and its nearby towns. A protest over the urbanization of other cities in Beijing turns violent, with three civilians dead over the matter. In October, a man named Qi Kha Maru formally names a list of complaints over the Ming Dynasty.
 * Myanmar D: We advise China to start spending large amount of money into industrialising and modernising regions adjacent to Shanghai.
 * Myanmar: Myanmar Afrika expands by 1000 sq km. Myanmar Oceania expands by 1000 sq km. Urbanization continues using the lumber in Northern Myanmar. Industrialisation begins, as scholars are sent to Orissa, China and Italy to learn methods of mass-scale building. The first large Iron Factory is built in Rangoon with 100 workers and a daily output of one ton of iron.


 * Too big and too fast.
 * UMSHM: The two colonies are expanded 1000 sq km each: Saxon Africa to the South, and Saint Boniface to the East towards Saint Thomas. In St. Thomas, many settlers arrive, which causes a bit of friction with the Ethiopians there. However, the Governor makes it clear that the ethnic Ethiopians are Saxon subjects, and have the same rights as everyone else. They are offered a free German language course, to be given by the missionaries. In Saxon Norway, three new ships-of-the-line are churned out of the docks, and they go on manoeuvres around the Faroes.
 * Confederation of the Rhine: The Confed. (excluding Saxony) continues to fight the Ethiopians, and many believe the end of the war is in sight. The powerful "Colonialist" faction in the Bundestag pressures the Emperor (ther King-Duke of Saxony) to ask Italia if it would be willing to sell Saint John to the Confederation (this includes Saxony).
 * Italia is willing to sell to the Confederation.
 * Primatial Magdeburg: Preparations are made in Magdeburg and Saint Thomas for the arrival of the Maugholdians. The Saint Thomas Bible is printed in Saint Thomas. It has the text in German, Ethiopian and the local Aboriginal tongue. On the Aru Islands, a similar event takes place when the new Bishop unveils the first New Testament in the Aru language. This causes a surge in converts.
 * The Grand Navy sails to Ternate to crush the small island nation (will I need an algorithm for such a small nation compared to my size?). Plans for the full invasion are completed as skirmishes occur on the border of the under-developed island state with multiple Italian victories as the Ternatan army and navy grows more desperate. Aymaras and Nya Gyptios expand by 10,000 sq km each while Malacca expands by 5000 sq km. Nuovo Brescia expands along the coastline by 8500 sq km.
 * Yes, of course. You need an algorithm.
 * Dimurats: Military, economy and infrastructure are improved.
 * The Levantine Kingdom builds up its military as the Levant's New Syria colony expands 4000 sq km inland as the campaign against the Xhosa natives continues. The Levant seeing the war is coming to a close begins wondering if it should join to invade Sudan to expand the Kingdom southwards into Sudan. Queen Mary tells her Generals who are planning this not to bother and to remain neutral.*The Arabian Federation continues the war on several fronts. As the war enters its sixth year of the conflict, the Sheik council re-elects Emir Jassim of Qatar to be Sultan for his second term.

This war hero came second in the Sultan elections, and he begins planning a grand campaign to capture the rest of Yemen and to ensure his election next year on the basis of his war victories, intelligence and political power as Emir of Shaybah.
 * The Arabian Caliphate continues the war on several fronts. Sheik Khalil of Mecca wins the Emir elections and starts his second term in office. Meanwhile, Caliph Ali declares this war to be a jihad to take over Yemen and calls on the rest of the Muslim block to join the war fully.
 * The Sultanate of Baghdad builds up its military as Baghdad sends more military aid to help the Arabian Federation. The Sultan sends more military aid but doesn't wish to have his nation enter full war if they can't gain anything from it.
 * The Sultanate of Kuwait builds up its military as Kuwait sends more military aid to help the Arabian Federation. Sultan Faisal decides to join the war fully so that Kuwait could gain territory to found a colony to spread Islam from.

Roads in the central part of the Empire begin to update, especially in areas of heavy traffic. Training drills are conducted by the military. The Royal Science Academy continues work on scientific projects. Flax and tobacco are grown. Linen is produced in Mutul and Azteca. Kappelism continues gaining followers. Money is invested in regional projects to promote wealth and business. Middle class families continue rising to prominence in some of the more wealthy provinces, as well as some of the less wealthy provinces. The Empire expands north 8000 km. Xaman expands 5150 km and Haven expands 3100 km.

 * In the United Maharajya, the war continues. It is still uncertain as to what will happen. Many scientists continue to work in the biological field, and begin to realise that changing the crops in a field could help them grow. The NOC begins to develop more trading routes in Europe. The SOC pumps in money to expand existing ports all around its routes to increase their capabilities and hopefully increase profit.
