1523
Frederick II of Prussia acquires OTL Silesia from Bohemia, and begins building houses for the noblity. Frederick also begins establishing mines to extract raw minerals for Prussia's use. Frederick also imposes high tariffs with other countries, especially Denmark, and encourages the expansion of internal trade. Frederick also becomes prince of Mecklenburg and Anhalt, and combines them with Prussia.
 * Habsburg signs a peace agreement with Great Britain that opens large amounts of trade between the two countries.

1524
Frederick II of Prussia opened relations with Hapsburg. He sent the Count of Koingsburg to the Haspburgian court as his repersenative. The Count gave the king of Hapsburg, Frederick II, gifts and lavish food. Frederick II of Prussia also decided to allow free trade, seeing it would benefit Prussia more then high tariffs.

Habsburg and Britain open embassies in their respective capital cities.

1525
Frederick II re-organized the Prussian military. He created a reserve of 50,000 soldiers, initated superior Prussian discipline and organization codes, and reformed the Prussian professional army. He also established a offical embassy in Hapsburg and also opened trade relations with Britain and Denmark.

Habsburg opens diplomatic relations and embassies with Venetia and France.

Denamark and Sweden are unified through dynastic marriage, creating the United Kingdom of Sweden-Denmark, or the UKSD. They colonize more of Greenland and build several cities in Labrador and along Hudson Bay. they begin a lucrative fur trade. Denmark also begins building up it's merchant marine, with newly design topsail schooners, which are twice as fast as square-rigged ships and less manpower intensive. this is a huge boon for merchants, and they quickly control most of the Baltic trade, which provides most of Europe's shipbuilding materials.

1526

 * The King of Sardinia and Duke of Mantua are killed in a hunting accident, their children inherit the thrones of each, uniting them under the King of Sardinia.
 * Venice steps up colonization taking advantage of the massive income gathered from several new crops gathered from the new world such as Sugar, Cocoa, and Tobacco.
 * Other colonies expand in the new world.
 * The UKDS now has a monopoly on trade in the Baltic, thanks to their maritime technology. they use the profits from trade in the Baltic and the export of Furs to expand their industrial base. They begin using replacable parts in both their army and Navy. in adition, they build several water-powered cannon factories, making the UKDS artillery corps the best in the world. finally, they begin training several light infantry regiments to fight in North America. they expand their colonies in OTL Canada, and build a city on the Great Lakes.
 * The Dutch Republic begins to prepare a colonial fleet.

1527
Frederick II of Prussia brings in UKDS merchants and workers. He begins expanding the Prussian industrial base, and builds Danzig on the coast of north-eastern Prussia, to act as a Baltic trading port. Frederick also exports fur from the UKDS and opens Prussia's first water-powered cannon factory.

A French lawyer, John Calvin, appears in Geneva preaching an exteremely harsh version of Christianity, including that you are pre-destined to go to Heaven or Hell before birth. He quickly converts the Swiss, and missionaries go out throughout the new world and through most of Europe. Small minorities pop up in various countries, including 15% in UKDS and Livonia. They cause no trouble, and in the UKDS push for expansion into the UK. Navarre also becomes majority Calvinist, as does the UKDS colonies along the Mississipi, out west, and in the Appalachians. Hudson bay area remains primarily Pagan/Hussite.

The Dutch Republic goes into a depression after trying to create a colonial fleet. Even after they dissestablish the fleet, they country is still bankrupt.

Frederick II of Prussia reforms the Church of Prussia, removing all the paganist ideals, introducing a new Prussian Bible, and establishing nunneries and monasteries. Frederick also makes sure that Calvnists do not pop up in Prussia, and he closes Prussian borders off to Calvinist missonaries and priests.

1528
Calvinists force annexation of Livonia into the UKDS. The UKDS converts to Norse Calvinism, a cross that has sprung up in the north. Prince Henry of Prussia marries Anne of the UKDS, creating an alliance against the Bohemians and Muscovites. Frederick II of Prussia is proud of his son and his new daughter-in law, of which Henry and Anne are actually in love.

The UKDS uses the huge tax surplus in their treasury to finance a huge expansion in UKDS industry. They build several dozen huge water-powered textile factories, and their textile production is projected to equal that of the rest of western Europe in 5 years. They also strengthen their alliance with Prussia, with Denmark's navy providing support for Prussia's Army. Their cultures are also mixed to a certain extent, with Prussian laborers traveling to the UKDS as farmhands, and Scandinavian entrepreneurs setting up many businesses in Prussia.

Habsburg takes advantage of the Dutch's situation and takes over the country, their economic support makes most of the population see them as liberators from the failing government.

Please create a map reflecting the changes

1529
Frederick II of Prussia creates the Prussian Navy. At Danzig he builds 60 warships and 34 OTL Spanish-like galleys. Frederick hires UKDS navigators and naval-hands. Frederick also establishes merchant houses in Danzig. He also builds several water-powered textile factories, as well more cannon factories.

Elizabeth I fearing the growing power of UKDS, sends more colonists to Canada and South America. She also sends spies into UKDS to study their manufacturing techniques. She also sends ships around Africa to expand trade routes into Asia. She also builds several water-powered cannon factories and textile factories. Elizabeth still rules

UKDS colonies cover all the land east of the Mississipi other than the lands already colonized by other nations.

Habsburg sends an army down to the New World to conquer New Germania.

Lithuania has a sizable majority of Calvinists.

Unfortunately, the merchant houses set up by Frederick are unable to compete with the UKDS merchants, who now control trade in the Baltic, the North Sea, and the Atlantic. the UKDS sets up more colonies around the great lakes. thanks to the great mixing of cultures between the UKDS and Prussia, a distinct new language begins to emerge, which is spoken mostly around the Baltic. It is similar to German, but has many loan words from Swedish, Danish and Norwegian. To help Prussia's economy develop, the UKDS merchant houses reduce hipping prices on Prussian goods, making them almost as cheap as UKDS goods.

1530
Frederick the Great expands his Navy by building a extra 60 warships and also builds 13 galleys. He also begins placing restrictions on UKDS merchant houses in Prussia, such as requiring them to register with the Prussian Government, and also prohibiting them making their prices lower then those of Prussian goods.

The heir to the throne of the UKDS dies in a hunting accident. that leaves Anne of UKDS and Henry of Prussia as heirs to the throne of both the UKDS and Prussia. However, Frederick the Great of Prussia will rule for the next 41 years.

The army of Habsburg conquers New Germania and the members of the colonial government are killed. Also this year Elizabeth I died from breast cancer and is replaced by nephew Richard I. Hapsburg also grants the Dutch Republic semi-independence, to appease the Dutch dissidents.

1531
Frederick the Great issues the Currency Edict, which introduces the gold standard, reorganizes the denominations used, and also lowers currency tax rates. These reforms are successful.

Great Britain and Hapsburg forms the United Kingdoms of Great Britain and Hapsburg or UKGBH.

Please make a map reflecting the changes

1532
Frederick the Great issues the Law on my Heirs, which effectively states that Prussia is to remain a seperate state from the UKDS, as well that Anne, wife of Henry, Prince of Prussia, is to "not assume joint power with her husband concerning the affairs of Prussia". Henry and Anne are furious, because they wanted to rule together, sharing the power.

1533
Frederick II's scholars discover the existence of a Grand Canal in China. Frederick II immediately begins building canals and artifical water-ways in Prussia, including ones along the Vistula and Oder. He also builds more merchant houses.

1534
Calvinists gain a majority in Brunswick. Frederick II of Prussia, Richard I of UKGBH, and the King of Sardinia, Boeman I, are now alarmed. They all tighten their grips on the religions of their peoples. In response, John Calvin, creator of Calvinism, creates a theory stating that "un-godly" monarchs can be overthrown by loyal Calvinists.

The UKSD starts expanding it's colonies out the missouri river.

you already stated that in a earlier turn 

1535
Frederick II of Prussia initated the Prussian Legal Code. The Code, based on OTL's Napelonic Code and on the Justinian Code, clearly organized and clarified all the laws of Prussia. The Code also set the administrative frame-work: the State Senate of Prussia (the advisory council for Frederick II) would be the supreme court of justice, followed by provincal courts of law, and finally, local courts of law. Richard I of UKGBH, William I of Bohemia, and Boeman I of Sardinia adopt similar legal codes in their countries.

The UKSD also adopts a legal code similar to that of Prussia's, Bohemia's, and Sardinia's. this makes their already overflowing coffers even more wealthy. they use their extra wealth to expand their industrial base. it is worth noting that at this point, the UKSD supplies Novogrod, Muscovy, Poland, Lithuainia, France and Spain with their textiles and manufactured goods. More of the UKSD budget goes to establishing the first intelligence agency in the world: the United Kingdom Espionage Service, or UKES.

1536
Seeing the USKD example, Frederick II of Prussia established the Prussian Covert Operations unit, as a secret service unit. Frederick also strengthened the secret police.

The PCO and the UKES agree to share information on possible threats to UKSD-Prussian Baltic military and economic supremacy

The UKGBH begins to colonize most of the Eastern Seabord of in OTL United States.

1537
Frederick II of Prussia issued the Law of the Nobles. The Law gave King Frederick aboslute power over the affairs of the nobles' estates, as well their family and economic affairs. The Law solidify's Frederick's already aboslute power and proves a huge hit. Novograd, Muscovy, France, and Great Britain-Hapsburg adopt similar laws.

The king of Habsburg-Britain dies of smallpox and his son Charles succeeds him, Charles is very well educated, knowing Latin, English, German, Spanish, and Portuguese, he is literate and marries his girlfriend (whom he loves), Victoria of Great Britain, This marriage brings Britain-Habsburg much closer.

The UKSD finishes colonizing the mississippi, and begins sending most of the colonists into the great plains.

1538
King Frederick II of Prussia visits King Charles II of Great Britain-Hapsburg. He gives him gifts and assures him of Prussia's continued support. Frederick also tells the young king to "make sure he maintains all the power in the world, and not give one inch of it away."

The UKBGH and Prussia begin talking about invading the former HRE, while the UKGBH will attack the smaller states and Prussia will invade Bohemia.When word gets back to Hungary and Poland, they enter the talks and soon armies are being prepared.

The UKSD provides financial support for the Polish and Hungarian armies.

1539
Frederick II of Prussia decides not to invade Bohemia, since he believes Prussia's military and economy still needs work. He instead builds up his military by tripling it's size and creating the King's Personal Unit.

Without Prussia being there to help, the plan to inavde the German states is postponed, by the end of the year the whole plan is scraped.

the UKSD purchases the rest of the Scandinavian peninsula from Novogrod. also, the King of the UKSD establishes a second capital on the Great Lakes, where he spends half the year. this makes him immensely popular in America, and cements their loyalty.

1540
Frederick II of Prussia introduced the Prussian Land Code, clearly outling the power of nobles over the land, giving supreme overlordship over agriculture to the king, and also organizing all the Prussian farms. Peasants are liberated from feudalism and allowed to own their own farms. This code is successful, but only Muscovy adopts it as well.

feudalism is directly abolished in the UKSD, although many peasants remain on their land. the UKSD begins to develop factories with precision machining capacity, allowing them to produce many mechanical parts relatively cheaply.

1541
Prince Henry of Prussia, heir to the thrones of Prussia and the UKSD, dies from a hunting accident. Frederick II of Prussia is nearly heart-broken, but recovers and issues the Edict on the New Succession, naming his nephew Richard as heir to the throne of Prussia.

The UKSD expands it's precision machining capacity, and a UKSD inventor invents the flintlock. the UKSD establishes it's flintlock industry in America, where it is safe from prying eyes. this helps the American economy, and many of the new flintlocks are shipped to colonists on the frontier. also, the UKSD begins selective breeding programs, which greatly increase the output of their livestock.

1542
Frederick the Great's Navy now has 160 warships and 100 galleys, while his merchant fleet has 500 small schooners and 30 major trading-ships. Frederick sends a expedition of 4 warships and 1 galley, along with packloads of livestock and food, to North America to establish a Prussian colony.

The UKSD allows this colony fleet to arrive, as long as Prussia acknowledges that the Ohio valley and everything west of the Mississippi is UKSC territory. a Scandinavian discovers a cheap steel-making process. the process it quickly industrialize, but kept a secret.

1543
Prussia acknowledges UKSD's control over the Ohio Valley and everything west of the Mississippi. 3 warships land in OTL Jamaica, claiming it for Prussia, while a warship and galley land in OTL Bahamas. Jamaica is named New Prussia, while Bahamas is named New Brandenburg. Frederick immediately establishes tobbacco farms in New Prussia, and also establishes cotton farms in New Brandenburg.

the UKSD purchases the louisanna colony of Venice, and builds a huge port there, to transport the grain and other agricultural products to European Markets. the grain fleet alone has around 100 huge trade vessels in it, and each fleet is escorted by a squadron of 10 frigates. the precision machining capacity of UKSD is also greatly improved, and this allows for a much more rapid expansion of factories. also, the UKSD launches a massive sanitation program, which keeps their entire nation much more healthy than the rest of the world.

1544
Frederick II of Prussia issues the Sanitary Code for the Towns, decreeing that all towns are to have clean drinking water, properly built houses and buildings, organized sewage systems, etc. Prussian scientists also invent the cap-lock musket, much superior to the flint-lock musket, and Frederick begins mass production. Frederick also begins construction on the Great Prussian Canal, designed to ease the burdens of trade within Prussia.

After Prussia finishes its armed building program, plans between the UKGBH, Prussia, Poland, and Hungary once again plan to invade the German states and Bohemia. The UKGBH will once again invade the smaller states, and the others will invade Bohemia.

Please make a new map to show the recent changes, thank you

1545
Frederick II of Prussia calls off the Prussian attack on Bohemia, believing his also needs to build up his navy.

A Scandinavian inventor invents the minie ball, allowing rifles to be used in battlefield applications. thanks to their huge machining capacity, the UKSD is able to mass produce the requisite rifling benches. they are very secretive, and every other known nation doesn't have enough machining capacity to produce a worthwhile number of rifling benches, and won't be able to develop that capacity without bankrupting themselves for a decade. also, a scientist in the UKSD invents the percussion cap independent of Prussian inventors. these two concepts are combined by the new standard UKSD issue cap-lock rifle, which will be given to the army in two years.

Spies from UKGBH capture the minie ball and rifiling benches, and loan it to Hungary, Poland, Prussia, Hapsburg, and Britain, who mass-produce them.

''still not very realistic. maybe if you said that only a few units were issued them it would make sense. a few stolen rifling benches wouldn't be able to produce that many rifles.''

1546
Frederick II of Prussia issued the Patent on Limited Religious Tolerance, which granted religious tolerance to Jews, Pagan practicers, and Catholics, leaving foreign Protestants, Hussites, and Calvinists out. Jewish economic and cultural development was also encouraged.

The invasions begin as the UKGBH launches their invasion of the German states as Poland, Hungary, and Prussia launch their invasion of Bohemia. Though the German States are conquered easily, Bohemia is able to hold out against the invaders for the majority of the year, but begin to lose land near the capital city.

The UKSD king announces that there is no longer a state religion in the UKSD, and that all religions are welcome. he also grants his Parliament more power, including the power to tax. The UKSD purchases Gibraltar and the Baelric islands form Spain, in order to help their navy and merchant marine dominate the Mediterranean.

1547
Frederick II of Prussia built the Grand Prussian Canal to reduce burdens on trade.

The German states are finally conquered by the UKGBH and the Bohemian invader make more major gains by equipping small units of snipers with rifles and taking out major Bohemian generals and Bohemia falls by the end of the year.

1548
A series of patent offices are built throughout the UKSD. one of the first patents to be registered is a primitive steam engine. it is to be used to haul ore-filled cars along a track to refineries.

1549
Frederick II of Prussia passes the Equality Law, decreeing that all offenders are equal before the law and thus require the same treatment, no matter what social class they are or wealth they hold.

1550
Steam engines are now begin used of hauling ore all over the UKSD, and are being put to use powering factories in places where water power is unavailable. a small passenger and mail-carrying railroad is also built between Stockholm and Oslo.

While signing peace accord with Prussia, Great Britain is greatly unimpressed with Prussia and calls them Barbarians, despite their modernized industries, army, and navy. Habsburg defends their neighbors and demands that Great Brtiain appoligize. When Britain refuses Habsburg secedes from the UKGBH as the German Empire and signs a peace agreement with Prussia. Prussia gives Germany some important trading rights in it as part of the treaty. Great Britain is given the colonies in OTL United States, while Germany gets the land in Middle America. Shortly after, Frederick II of Prussia proclaims himself Emperor of Prussia, and the Kingdom of Prussia becomes the Prussian Empire.

The UKSD buys Florida and Hispaniola from Venice, and begin settling the Mojave desert. They use advanced irrigation techniques to make the land more fertile, and soon the Mojave is producing much of the UKSD's wool and beef. several other cities are added to the railroad network, and work begin on a railroad from Stockholm to Abo, the capital of Finland. the first North American Railroad is built between Victoria (the American Capital of the UKSD) and a port on Hudson bay.

1551
Germany launches a colonist invasion against the locals in Middle America and conquer what isn't already owned in Middle America.

1552
Frederick II of Prussia adopts the steam engine technology used in UKSD, and also completes construction on the Grand Prussian Canal. Emperor Frederick also expanded Prussia's industries by opening more mines and introducing the Prussian two-crop rotation system, which proves to be extremely successful.

The Trans-Scandinavia Railroad is completed, and more of the UKSD's budget is put into developing their railroad system

1553
Frederick II of Prussia begins work on the Berlin-Anhalt Railroad, intending to also connect his realm by means of railroad. He also adopts precision machining, producing it by the thousands. Frederick II also reorganizes the Prussian tax-collecting system, instating indirect taxes instead of direct taxes, finding that indirect taxes generate more revenue. Germany, Poland, Lithuania, and Hungary adopt similar reforms. The UKSD refuse to do so, believing it will bankrupt their economy.

a Scandinavian inventor builds a horse-drawn reaper, which will increase agricultural capacity hugely in the UKSD. it is imdiately put into mass production. (this is another device which requires precision machining capacity.) Frederick II of Prussia adopts the horse-drawn reaper into Prussian agriculture.

1554
The UKSD change it's mind, and adopts indirect taxes. UKSD revenue triples by more then 300 percent.

An inventor uses a steam engine to power a ship, creating the first steamships. They are soon put to use hauling grain from the Ohio valley to the caribbean

Germany creates a large series of roads across the empire to encourage trade, and this system is called the German Highway System. Frederick II of Prussia begins building a similar system in Prussia.

1555


Prussian settlers land in OTL Cuba. They establish cotton planatations, and also create some corn farms. Frederick II of Prussia also establishes the city of New Berlin in New Prussia.

Germany purchases the part of Prussian land surrounded by Germany and turns it into a series of several major farming and factory districts.

several other cities in Scandinavia are connected to the railroad network. (happy now?)

Prussian work on the Berlin-Anhalt Railroad is completed.

''Prussia is wealthy enough to adopt it. The indirect taxes over-filled the Prussian treasury. Prussia doesn't have the necessary infrastructure. it would take them at least a decade to develop it.''

1556
Germany purchases Malta from Genoa to start a trade empire in the Mediterranean, on it they establish a large port city called Charlesburg, after the current emperor.

1557
Charles I of Germany, having reigned as King-Emperor since 1537, dies as a result of a unknown tumor in his body. He is succeeded by his daughter, Catherine I of Germany. Her god-father is Emperor Frederick II of Prussia.

the UKDS, feeling threatened, begins sending more of it's trade fleet to the mediterranean. thanks to their fore-and-aft rigged sails, they quickly out-compete the German merchant marine

Catherine sends an invasion force that captures the port capital of Sicily, Palermo, after this Sicily moves their capital to Messina.

1558
The Prussian merchant fleet adopt the fore-and-aft rigged sails. They are now noble competitors to the UKDS merchant marine and navy. The Prussian navy is the strongest in Europe on terms of numbers. Frederick II of Prussia is proud. Also this year, the king of the UKDS dies, replaced by his daughter, Anna. Anna had waited for some twenty years to come to the throne (she was now 38 years old). Anna was still upset over the death of her husband Prince Henry of Prussia (also Frederick II's eldest son and heir before his death) in 1541, some seventeen years earlier. ''It took Prussia's merchant fleet years to build up. where did you post this?''

The UKDS invest more of it's income into railroads, allowing them to expand faster. by now, horse-drawn reapers are ubiquitous in Scandinavian farms, and new technology like seed drills and threshing machines are becoming more common. Frederick II of Prussia introduces these technologies into Prussian farms as well.

Catherine launches an invasion of Alexandria and the German Mediterranean Fleet is created near the end of the year to protect these new overseas territories. Frederick II is increasingly become fearful of his god-daughter's Imperial ambitions. He builds up his military in response.

Thanks to the enormous output of Scandinavian farms, the UKDS is able to industrialize extremely quickly. Several entrepreneurs establish a steamship factory in Victoria.

1559
Frederick II of Prussia secretly signs a alliance with Hungary, Poland, Lithuania, the UKDS, France, and Sardinia designed to contain German agressiveness. He does not inform his god-daughter, Catherine I of Germany. Frederick also builds a steamship factory in Berlin, and expands his already large Navy to 300 warships and 210 galleys. Frederick also triples Prussia's identical machinery infrastructure.'' dude, it would take more time than that. like, say, a decade?''

Catherine declares now that Germany has a trade empire in the Mediterranean that it will cease agressiveness and begin to better itself, starting with better relations with the countries of Europe. Frederick II does not trust his god-daughter and begins some early plans for a "containment" of Germany.

Several more cities are added to the railroad lines in Scandiavia, and several cities are connected to Victoria in America

1560
Frederick II lines Prussian troops along the border with Germany, to protect Prussian territory from "German hostility".

Catherine creates a series of military reforms in the empire, among which are conscription and the staff system. Due to conscription, they have an army of 80,000 troops at their disposal. Far larger than the army of Prussia, which has only 50,000 troops.

1561
Frederick II of Prussia establishes the Imperial Prussian Military Staff, to coordinate and command the Prussian army, and he introduces the Prussian consription system, the most efficent consription system in Europe. Prussia now has 80,000 troops, just like Germany. Frederick also initates the Great Prussian Military Code, outlying the tactics and organization of the Prussian military. He also introduces modernized military technology.

The UKSD begins colonizing lands west of the Rocky Mountains. they also greatly expand their machining and steamship industries. a UKSD inventor invents a breachloading rifle that uses brass cartridges and compressed gunpowder. neither Germany nor Prussia will be able to develop a capacity to make these for at least twenty years. it is impossible for them to do it any sooner. the new rifle is put into production, along with a Gatling-like machine gun which uses the same ammo. finally, a factory is set up to makes steel, breachloading artillery, another thing other nations won't be able to make for another 20 years. the UKSD develops swarming tactics for their breachloaders

1562
Prussian spies capture thousands of these new breachloading rifles, brass cartidges, and compressed gunpowder. Breach-loading artillery is also acquired. Frederick II of Prussia dismisses the UKSD ambassdor from Court, due to increasing tensions between Prussia and UKSD. He then signs a peace with Catherine I, breaking off the alliance with UKSD.

Germany signs a series of treaties with Spain, Venetia, the Swiss Confederation, and Prussia so in case of a foreign invasion the countries would protect each other. Great Britain eventually also joins the talks, deciding to end their rivalry with Germany that has existed since the end of the UKGBH and apoligizes for calling the Prussians barbarians. Frederick II accepts the apology.

1563
The Grand Alliance is created among Germany, Spain, Venetia, the Swiss Confederation, Prussia, Poland, Lithuania, Great Britain, and the Dutch Republic directed against the UKSD.

Members of the Grand Alliance come together many times this year to commit joint-military practice operations and train in case of war against the UKSD.

Angry that Prussia has stolen a weapons shipment, the UKSD invades Prussia, using it's advanced technology well. the UKSD's steamships blockade Prussian ports, stifling the Prussian economy, while two large Scandinavian armies, each about 50,000 men, advance into Prussia. when the Prussians try to stop one, their larger army is crushed by the Scandinavians. the captured weapons are not enough to even slow the invaders, and soon Berlin falls to the UKSD. the Scandinavians destroy much of Prussia's infrastructure, and burn most of it's merchant marine. crushed militarily and economically, Prussia has been set back almost fifty years. the rest of the Grand Alliance's forces are held off by the UKSD navy and a third Army, which invades northern Germany, and destroys much of Germany's industrial base. the two powers that came close to matching Scandinavia's power were been crippled, with Germany set back almost twenty years
