Principia Moderni (Map Game)

Principia Moderni, or "The Beginning of the Modern" in Late Latin, is a map game beginning in the final days of the Middle Ages in Europe, and the early days of the Ming dynasty in China--1420 C. E...The House of Hohenzollern have become the Electorates of Brandenburg--though most of the power in the Holy Roman Empire still lies with the Habsburgs, Joan of Arc has defeated the English at Orleans, the city of Tenochtitlan is founded by the Aztecs, the Timurid Empire has united Central and West Asia, and the Yongle Emperor sends out Zheng He to voyage westwards. It is a turbulent era; in other words, an era of change; an era in which power is cemented.

All members of the Sovereignty Defense League are required to send military aid to help Fjordlaand against Bharat or they will be in violation of the treaty and ejected from the organization. Currently, Denmark, Wales, and Hungary are other player nations in this organization (unless I missed someone else joining)

 * Foreign Minister Utsuho Niemelä of the Imperial Confederation of Saigyō agrees and begins to restore friendly relations with Australia.
 * The Commonwealth of Eetoria and Ngainkeha accept the alliance with their new Australian neighbours.

 * Brythonic Commonwealth also releases to RUSSIA and DENMARK ONLY plans for a weaponization platform in space scheduled to begin research in 1964.
 * In the post of China he already stated that the Chinese man was the first man in space. You can't contradict what people have already posted. 
 * 'Yes we can. We'll simply state that they were mistaken.'
 * Hey my original post had the parliament be angry and move Vostok one forward to march 12th instead of April 12th. I just thought that we had reached an agreement before that a Dane would be the first in space.
 * China still beats us if we put it in March, Lx.
 * The Brythonic Commonwealth makes plans to send the astronaut Leon Willis into space where he will remain for two weeks before returning to Earth.

An envoy is sent to Flanders, and Alsatia to establish diplomatic ties and an offer of alliance(somebody do a random.org please)

 * China got their man in space...I panicked and added the space part after my edit conflict... I didn't want others superseding the Danish-Russian-Welsh space program,..names can be changed...quite easily...just name the first cosmonaut/astronaut and it shall be done
 * No word was given and the agreement was conditional. You made it clear that my side of the deal wasn't happening.
 * OK then. Giving the date of your launch proved fatal for your launched as we beat you.
 * Did you just edit Lx's turn?
 * Actually, since he gave that his guy was the first in space, you can't say you beat China. He posted first and explicitly said his man was first. Furthermore, you can't "hear about the Chinese Space program and move your program back to January 1" all on January 1, as you would only control this year, not last year. China won, stop whining about it.
 * It was on the 13th. Not the first.
 * Hey my original post had the parliament be angry and move Vostok one forward to march 12th instead of April 12th. I just thought that we had reached an agreement before that a Dane would be the first in space.
 * I called dibs on it, so I don't see why we're having this argument in the first place.
 * Australia signs a military alliance agreement with Denmark. Meanwhile, Australia continues to industrialize. It also founds the Australian Defence Force . Michael Salzman(german-british) is assigned to be the Chief of Army, and is waiting for the Australian forces to come back from fighting with Bharat, which is, as they hope, being the last time they fight for a country which was ruling their motherland for more than half century.


 * Finland continues to build up its military, build and improve some infrastructure and continues industrialisation. Empress Orvokki Komeiji continues to, proudly, sends more supplies to help Onguayal. Sonja Komeiji retires from singing, and gets very angered by her sisters actions, so, she decides to do something about it. One night, Sonja Komeiji enters the Tsuyukusa Eastern Palace, and begins to look for her sister, but then runs into a kitten. She stops to inspect the kitten, but soon some cats appear down the hall. Soon the cats begin to run towards her, however, Sonja Komeiji's quick to respond and runs. She manages to reach a door at the end of the hall and close it quickly. The cats then stop at the door and just stares. Sonja Komeiji then runs up the stairs to the third floor and sees this next hall being filled with purple and black tiles in a chequered fashion. Soon as she walks down the hall and finally approaches the end of it. However at the end, there is a painting of what looks like Utsuho Reiuji, in the style of if she's ready to launch an attack. Sonja Komeiji gets scared, and decides to run out. However she trips mid-way back to the door, but she manages to get back up a few minutes later, and manages to reach the door, but before she opens it she sees a kitten again. Knowing it's a trap, Sonja runs the other way and begins taking the central stairs down. Soon she reaches the first floor, and makes it to the door and runs out of the palace in tears and fear. Eventually, Sonja Komeiji manages to run into her other sister, Kyllikki Komeiji and she begins to tell her what happened and what she wanted to do. Kyllikki Komeiji then hugs Sonja and soon she decides to go to the Palace herself. Three nights later, Kyllikki Komeiji goes to the Tsuyukusa Eastern Palace and Sonja Komeiji waits outside this time. As Kyllikki Komeiji enters the palace, she sees the same kitten that Sonja saw. Though she ignores it and goes and takes the central stairs. She reaches the third floor, walks down the hallway, and also sees the same painting that Sonja saw. After that, Kyllikki Komeiji begins to open the door on the left, and enters the room. However, she sees that the room is filled with a few drawings of butterflies, and a few paintings of Yuyuko Saigyouji and Youmu Konpaku can be seen. Though she doesn't find Orvokki anywhere, and so she leaves and closes the door behind her. Then proceeds to look at some of the other doors until a bit down past mid-way, she opens that door and sees Empress Orvokki Komeiji watching some television. Empress Orvokki Komeiji then turns and becomes curious of what her sister is up to, and so asks. Soon Kyllikki Komeiji then discusses about all that happened with Sonja, and after that, requests that supplies stop being sent to Onguayal. Empress Orvokki Komeiji looks at her with disappointment, and disagrees. Later, the phone rings and Empress picks it up. It is Shogun Yuyuko Kekkonen on the phone, and requests to stop sending supplies. However, the Empress refuses, and soon hangs up and runs out. Kyllikki Komeiji tries to chase her, but can't find her anywhere else in the palace. Later, she leaves the palace, and walks back home with Sonja, in disappointment, while Sonja is still angered. Three months later, Shogun Yuyuko Kekkonen gets a call from the Empress, telling her to cut off the supplies. Satisfied, Shogun Yuyuko Kekkonen then begins to manage stop sending supplies to Onguayal, thus putting Finland out of the war. The huge motorway system continues being built in Finland, along with liikennevalot. Animation films and Anime and Manga are continued to be made too.
