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.

Great Chief Damasus grows frustrated with the continued engagement of Europe with what he views as a pointtless war, and increasingly deals with merchants and citizens who are unhappy with the disruption of trade an scarcity of prized European goods. For the first time in many years, there is a surge in pro-Japanese sentiment among the non-Taoist inhabitants of the Haruwin, as the Japanese are seen as wise for not engaging in such folly. Mimicry of Japanese culture and dress becomes fashionable even among the Catholic elite of Ona Yagich. Damasus is also intrigued by the tails he hears from Dutch traders of a new Northern land called "Iceland" that has broken away from Dutch control - as the traders say that this land is very similar in climate to the Haruwin, but at the opposite end of the globe.  Damasus sends Admiral Wang Bi Hgi'ichin'Zhangzi, the son of Zhangzi Hg'ich, to attempt to establish a relationship with this new land and see if ideas can be exchanged about existing in similar environment. As a gift, he orders that Wang Bi's ship be loaded with dried kelp and Rafael Bread plants (OTL Kerguelen cabbage), crops which have proven effective in the Antarctic. (Icelandic diplomacy please respond)

The Adligenrat once again tries to solve monetary problems by reaching into their own pockets however the national debts are higher than before the Protectorate. The Junkerrat is suspended until further notice and local governance is divided between military leaders and their troops. Seeing the weakness of the government the Catholic nobles in the south begin convening with Catholic soldiers and veterans. Meanwhile Heinrich Corper finds himself in lack of funds as his project is cut from the government budget, fearing the worst he looks around for investors.
 * Laītawiskas Protektorat: Order is finally restored under the rule of the Gemeine Magistrats with their leader Petrus Eisenberg asking the Prussian government for the right to rule as Herr aus Laītawa.
 * In Great Brython steel continues to make a huge difference in daily Brythonic life and cannons now are made using Cardiff steel. This allows for extra disruption against opposing navies and trade, which causes chaos between colonies and mother nations engulfed in the war. The air furnace continues its rise in popularity, but by now most people have access to this modern luxury. Steam is used more and more, and the engine has now been used by farmers, along with crop rotation and fertilizers.

This allows for extra disruption against opposing navies and trade, which causes chaos between colonies and mother nations engulfed in the war. The air furnace continues its rise in popularity, but by now most people have access to this modern luxury.

The Raja announces the complete union of Sindustan and the Maharajya and also plans to change the borders of Rajputana and the Maharajya slightly. In Java, all Bavarians are allowed to stay if they wish, but if they would like to leave their travel home will be completely funded by the Maharajya. Talks also begin with the Javans to return them to Mataram, their own nation.
 * Rajputana expands its army and economy heavily, and Naya Punjab grows by 9200 km. Sindustan amps up on its army and economy. The Khmers expand their economy and army, so do Mataram and Brunei. The puppet state of Naya Bihar expands by 10,000 km inland and they build up their army. Many Orissans begin to settle in Naya Bihar, which as a puppet state has more freedom than the colonies. Naya Bihar's economy grows. Butung also builds up its infrastructure.

 * Thanks for the event. I was planning to put it, but I had no idea in how to put all the consequences into words. You might want to extend those consequences until 1785.
 * I'll deal with the consequences in the respective years...


 * Portugal, León, Aragon, Castille, Navarra and Granada prepare their militaries, while agriculture continues developing in Castille. Meanwhile in Aragon and Portugal, industrialization continues, and Meanwhile in Castille, the canal's construction continues. Meanwhile in Aragon, Margarida de Montcada gives birth to a boy, who is named Alfons. Meanwhile, Sofala expands 500 sq km and Angola expands 500 sq km. Meanwhile in Brasil, Maranhão expands 4200 sq km and Pernambuco expands 4300 sq km. Meanwhile in Salvador, Estevão and Bartolomeu de Gusmão make a public demonstration of their hot air balloon. Its flight covers 2 km, lasts ten minutes, and has an estimated altitude of 1600-2000 m. (Sorry for the anachronistic measures again). Word of their success reaches the mainland relatively quickly. Estevão eventually goes to Lisboa to make further demonstrations and to solidify the brothers' claim to the invention of flight.
 * 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. Some more funding is put into science and agriculture. More fertilisers are created and used on fields. More air furnaces are also built. Meanwhile, urbanisation continues in Kyushu, Shikoku and parts of Honshu. More Steam Power is built, and a few water wheels are built. Aid and clean up is sent out to areas affected by the Volcano.
 * Reiches Großraum Bayern: Bavarian Carthage expands 15,000 sq km. Saxony and Bavaria grow closer due to the war and the recent marriage between the two noble houses. The war winds down, with a victory.  The nation begins to mourn the dead on both sides. Saxony and Bavaria continue to grow closer. The nation continues to industrialise. More and more urbanisation occurs. Bavarian coal begins to be exported to other nations for profit. The young Charles of Wettin is still in good health. Industrialsation continues, with several new chemicals being produced and more elements discovered. In April, John Montigrue invents the first hot air balloon, and travels five miles at almost 3000 feet, before safely landing, making him and his apprentice the first humans to have flown in sustained flight. Many die in Prague and other cities due to the ash falling, crops do poorly this year. If things don't improve in the coming years, aid from Italia may be requested.
 * Didn't you read the 1782 post?...Wait, I have a better idea. Do you think that we could turn this co-incidence into a controversy about who invented the hot-air balloon, like the one that exists OTL about the Wright brothers and airplanes?
 * Yeah. That was my goal, actually.
 * Bavarian Indonesia: Builds military and expands infrastructure. Industrialism booms in Borneo and the outlying areas. The city of Banjarmasin grows exponentially due to the continuing migration to the cities. Indonesia throws its support fully behind Bavaria.
 * Bavarian Australis: Neu Munchen expands 15,000 sq km. Water Wheels make it to the colony, The Hurem Group takes to pearling and begins exporting the valuable commodity to Europe. Governor Kossack orders the expansion of the capital, Broomestadt. Forts are constructed in the wilderness. Kossack orders more forts built on the frontier. The Royal family remains in Australis. Industrialisation grows in the colony due to the Governor's oversite.
 * Kommisariat Hamburg: The newly formed Hamburg Autonomous Commission. begins to restructure after the Bavarian occupation. Many people are disgruntled but are slowly being winned over by Bavarian authorities as more infrastructure improvements and an improved canal system are planned.
 * China expands New Manchuria by 8000 sq km and Baitudi by 4000 sq km. The military and economy both improve.
 * Cyprus continues to expand its economy. Nea Lefkosia is expanded by 2000 sq km, Nea Larnaka is expanded by 2000 sq km and Nea Lemesos is expanded by 2000 sq km.
 * Crete continues to expand its military.
 * Cyrenaica expands 10,000 sq km into the desert.
 * Ethiopia continues to expand its military, economy, and infrastructure, including those of the vassals. The colonies expand at their normal rate, and the colony of Mogäs is established at OTL Bethel, Alaska. The government of Ethiopia makes the growth of the colony its number one priority. The first batch of Qut'a rifles are produced by the Ethiopian gunsmithies, and delievered to the Imperial Guard for trial testing. A batch are sent to the United Maharajya as a gift for the ruler of the nation, and potential hopes of fostering a foreign market for the gun should it prove successful. Ethiopia also declares all the unsettled lands within the region surrounded by Ethiopia, Adal, Kitara and Msraq Qäsärä the new territory of Härnät, or "Liberty". It is to be settled by Ethiopians and their vassal allies.
 * Search at 1716. The Burmese established Myanmar Oceania at OTL Perth. Callumthered (talk) 07:48, August 4, 2013 (UTC)
 * Okay then. Thank you. Could one of the mods please add that colony to the map so as to avoid future confusion? ~Viva
 * Yeah, it's never once been on the map, which has caused considerable confusion. Callumthered (talk) 18:25, August 4, 2013 (UTC)
 * France: Nouvelle Bourgogne expands 3000 sq km, while La Riviere and Baie d'Eric (Erik's Bay) expand by 1700 sq km inland and Brasilea expands by 3000 sq km inland and Baie d'Notre Dame expands by 1100 sq km. School system is devastated, but the growth starts. However, most of the nation is aware of the school system and use it regularly. It closes any remaining trading with Vinland. A Provenzal begins experimenting with Potasium and as he tries to refine it, suddenly part of his lab ignites. He realizes that the potasium causes this and continues with his experiments as he thinks this may be important or useful. Military is built up.
 * Lorraine: Military is built up, School system grows and the nation builds from the war.

 * Basse Bourgogne: Military and navy are built up.
 * Picardy: Military and navy are built up.
 * UMSHM: Gains are made on the Northern front, and the defenders of Bergen are down to their last ounce of energy. The treasury begins a complex process of integrating some of its services with those of Bavaria. The nation welcomes the arrival of little Prince Karl (Charles). The rest of the Royal family remains in Saxon West Africa, and some fo the locals there want them to remain there for good. Things start to look up for the Guinea Schutzgebiet, as the guerillas manage to inflict some heavy losses on the Brandenburgers, thanks to the Khmer Koch Volunteer Brigade. The harvest is also better this year.
 * Kingdom of the Netherlands: The King continue to expand the military, focusing on the navy. Argentium colony expands 5000 km north. Chile colony expands the north coast 3000 km. Warqama expands 1000 km north.
 * Oldeburg, Liege, Indonesia, Kongo, Dutch Persia, Cleves, West Munster, Warqama continue sending military aid. Kongo expands 10,000 sq km inland.
 * Great Brython continues its process of industrialization. Praxedes, gives birth to a second son, Prince Atticus Pugh-Tuch'huelpe of Great Brython and the Selk'nam Haruwin. The naming of the prince, second-in-line for the throne is considered to be an outrage by many staunch conservatives, but Madoc assures them that, as all Kings can, Atticus can chose a different regnal name, something more Welsh. This choice sparks positive feedback from progressives, who applaud the King for his foresight, and thinking of the Selk'nam people and culture. King Madoc IV begins to reach out to his father-in-law about the Royal House of Chongat-Tuch'huelpe-Pugh, as the Selk'nam call the Royal Line of Pugh-Teague-Stuart-Tuch'huelpe. (More commonly Pugh-Stuart). A "cultural ambassador" is sent to the Selk'nam on behalf of the WTC, and he attempts to show Apostolic Selk'nam the advantages of Brythonic culture over Japanese culture. Cardiff Steel begins to grow even further, and has branched out into two separate companies, Cardiff Steel and Cardiff Weapons, after more and more reliable firearms and cannons are created to enhance the military. The air furnace and steam power continue to help agriculture, along with fertilizers and crop rotation. Population grows and cities like Cardiff, London, Edinburgh, Belfast, and Rennes all become urbanized. More radical ideas are formed in healthcare and anatomical studies are formed. The military grows. (Selk'nam Response)
 * Selk'nam Diplomacy: The Haruwin greatly rejoices at the birth of Prince Atticus, almost as joyful as the response to previous birth of Prince Gavin a few years ago (oops, missed that in all the war mess). Great Chief Damasus is overjoyed at the birth of his second grandchild and there is much rejoicing over the choice of a Selk'nam-influenced name for the little prince. Royalist factions in Ona Yagich stage a rally carrying banners which read "Congratulations to Praxedes, rightful Queen of the Selk'nam!" and "Crown Prince Gavin, our future king, has a brother!". In point of fact, the name of the new baby is almost never mentioned among the royalists, as they think the name sounds too K'onipian, preferring a "strong name" like David or John. One newpaper even prints an overheard comment from a royalist leader saying, "why name a prince like a K'onip kelp picker?" Damasus orders the royalist demonstrations dispersed by force and orders a giant banner hung in the main square of Ona Yagich reading, "Welcome Atticus!"  Also, the Selk'nam elites are very confused by the talk of the Brythonic cultural envoys. Several nobles, including Damasus himself, express dissapointment that in all their talk about choosing between Brythonic culture and Japanse culture, the envoys do not mention Selk'nam indigenous culture. Damasus informs them that he considers the Selk'nam culture to have been divinely appointed as the great Christian culture of the Antarctic regions, and that while many influences from Europe and Asia are welcome in the Haruwin, the cuture itself is of Atlantia.
 * ​The Parliament votes to ask Iceland for the Faroes, citing that the King of Scotland is the equivalent of the Governor of Skottland, who was also Viceroy over the Faroes.
 * The Faroes are owned by Saxony, look at the map ~Von
 * The map shows them in the mustardy color of Iceland.
 * They are Saxon though. 
 * The WTC oversees the expansion of De Mor Tir 3000 sq km, as Tulpung yr Aber also grows 3000 sq km. The Welsh Royal Coast and Morocco each expand by 10,000 sq km, now that their period of vassalization is completed. Hobyo-Somalia and New South Wales growe their economies and militaries. The Apostolic Church movement begins to catch on in all states, especially in the Welsh Royal Coast and Morocco.
 * The Apostolic Church has largely established all needed infrastructure to be considered a full-fledged institution. At the head of the Church is the Prime Bishop, who is currently the former Cardinal of Avalon. After the Prime Bishop come Archbishops, in charge of the Church for a nation. After Archbishops are Bishops, and finally Priests. Besides the Most Holy and Venerable Holy Order of St. Maughold of K'onip (to be controlled by the Selk'nam), the Prime Bishop establishes the Holy Order of the Brotherhood of Christian Soldiers of St. David of Wales, a semi-militaristic Holy Order (to be controlled by Wales).
 * The Prime Bishop asks the Primate at Magdeburg to consider joining the One True Holy Catholic and Apostolic Church of Christ, and receiving special status. (Note: The Prime Bishopric will rotate every month or so).
 * Selk'nam Diplomacy: The Selk'nam welcome the elecion of Prime Bishop Emyr. Brother Eutychianus leaves his position as head of the Maugholdian Order to become Archbishop Eutychianus of the Selk'nam Haruwin. He is replaced as the head of the Maugholdians by his protege Brother Polycarp, which causes a great uproar as Polycarp is and ethnic Yaghan from the Taoist Heartland of Miyako Yagich. Never before has a major figure come from Miyako Yagich's extremely small Catholic commmunity, and as a result of his childhood, Polycarp is reputed to be extremely devoted to missionary work. In his first act as head of the order, he sends emissaries to Avaon to congratulate the founders of the new Davidian order in Wales and offers to help train them in the catechism of St. Maughold.
 * The Arabian Federation expands its colonies with the Zanj coast colony expanding 2500 sq km inland along Lake Kitara's southern coast as new towns are founded on the Lake's southern shores. The Al-Khalil colony expands 1100 sq km and the New Oman colony expands 1000 sq km inland too. Sultan Abbas oversees Federation economic expansion via industrialization and colonization. The Federation sends lots of aid to the Levant to help them recover from the war and the earthquake. Meanwhile the great industrial hub of Khor Fakkan improves its steam engine designs to make them more efficient and powering even larger machines, and the new water purification plants created by inventor Ghiyath bin Hadi in the dry Sheikdom of Al Hofuf, are rolled out across the Federation as the new more efficient design catches the attention of many industrialists across the Federation. Ghiyath bin Hadi quickly becomes one of the richest men in the Federation, as the great inventor of Al Hofuf seeks to make the largely dry Federation sufficient in water.
 * The Dimurat Kingdom builds up its military as the Kingdom recovers from the war. King Da’ud continues with his plans to invade Persia. Elsewhere the Dimurati East Africa colony expands 2000 sq km and the nation is industrialized too.
 * The Qoyunlu Empire finishes its fighting and begins to work on re-building the military to recover from the war. Emperor Uzun Hassan also begins to merge the Kurds and Qoyunlu ethnic groups together in order to quell the growing civil problems between the Kurds and Turks.
 * The Levantine Kingdom builds up its military to recover from the war. The ten years of war and the earthquake plunges the Kingdom into an economic depression, as the Kingdom struggles to recover from the destruction brought upon the Levant by the earthquake and war. Elsewhere colonial expansion continues, with the New Syria colony expanding 4500 sq km inland as people flee the Levant to start a new life free of the troubles which are currently plaguing the Levant. King Joshua declares a national emergency as the Levant seeks to recover from the war and earthquake.
 * The Sultanate of Baghdad builds up its military to recover from the war. Sultan Abdur Rahim continues to pursue industrialization in his Sultanate as water wheel powered factories spring up near the rivers of the Sultanate.

 * The Sultanate of Kuwait, the Maldives, the Republic of Comchellak, the Kingdom of Tanimbarkai, Mangystau and Warsangali all build up their respective economies as the nations industrialize.
 * Italia focuses on aiding its own peoples and removes many front line army troops on the German front to help at home. A surprize attack on Oresund is launched in return to release some pressure on Bergen and Central Germany with forts around Copenhagen and Malmo bombarded. Supplies and men are also shipped into Bergen. The haze disrupts military operations in the oresund for a while and the Italian fleet was held up in Bergen. On the plus side they manage to devastate the opposing German forces with a huge naval bombardment on their camps near the coast and around the city. Urbanization continues in Southern and Western Italia at a rapid pace especially in the port cities of Naples, Palermo and Genoa. Venice begins to make a name for itself in tourism for the upper class, education and naval construction in some of the farther islands with the lagoon's sheltered and settled condition proving to be perfect for shipbuilding. Florence and a few other cities in central Italia continue to use a steam-powered form of the water wheel and develop small cottage businesses. Scientists from across Europe flock to witness the almost constant public demonstrations and experiments at the University of Venice in the field of chemistry. Meanwhile, the University of Milan and the University of Istria continue to lead in the study of human anatomy with near daily dissections much to the displeasure of the local populace. The University of Southern Tyrolia makes progress in the field of astronomy, identifying a few new stars and moons. Italia and its subject nations continue to experience a declining death rate as a result of greater understanding of how the human body works. Printing presses in the major cities churn out daily newspapers for the people reporting on various news across the Italian dominions. Aymara and Nya Gyptios expand at 10,000 sq km inland while Nuovo Brescia expands by 8500 sq km in Australia.
 * The war ended in 1782, also come on the talk page to claim some of the winnings Italia ~Von.
 * Romania, Hungary and Padang work on their economies. Yugoslavia continues to fight in Brandenburg while Greek troops help with the fronts in Anatolia. Siam and Malacca continue to raid Mysore and the Philippines. The Aymaran Kingdom and Nya Gyptios continue to send support to the war efforts.
 * Lakota Tribes: Expansion of Lakota agriculture continues along the Pekitanoui River and its tributaries. Irrigation remains scattered and not prevalent along the Cheyanne tributary, but in the places were it is active, it increases the amount of farm and grazing lands, increasing agriculture production and attracting more buffalo. Hunting of the Buffalo continues, as many of the Lakota people now live in larger, multi-room tipi's, with two to three rooms, but these rooms are relatively small. The capital town of Wiconiwico U continues to grow, with a palisade-type wall starting construction around the city. Expansion westwards towards the Great Plains and the Buffalo begins with the expansion of 1000 km westwards.
 * Prūsiskan Protektorat: As the war between the three Germanys draws to a close a civil war breaks out in Prussia, Catholics in the South rise up (and the Catholic Regiment joins them) and call other rebels to join them, they mass in force and march on the capital, the first battle of Konigsberg ends with a victory for Adligenrat forces. Marching south again hoping to regain troops the Catholic forces are subdued for two months, the Adligenrat forces mass two armies of 10,000 in the east and west hoping to enclose the Catholic troops. The Catholics head north again hoping to take the capital, a small battle occurs as the rearguard of the Catholic forces are caught by the Adligenrat army. The final battle of Konigsberg ends with a crushing victory for the Adligenrat as the Catholics are encircled and destroyed. Markus Amsel declares the end of the civil war and proclaims a great victory for the Protectorate. The civil war distracts from the monetary problems for the year however a mysterious financier has approached the Adligenrat with a proposal, the same financier also has recently acquired Heinrich Corper as a customer and is funding his research into the use of his Puddling Steel. The military is reorganised slightly after the civil war. (mil-turn)
 * Laītawiskas Protektorat: Petrus Eisenberg fills his new government with loyal ex-officers of the Gemeine Magistrats and convenes in the courthouse in Butendiekshof. They set about ensuring a tight legal system to govern the land and make clear their intentions to bring the false Lithuania into the fold. With their aim set in mind they begin re-establishing the Gemeine Magistrats instead naming them after a Latin term as the Censors. (mil-turn)
 * Mali: Mali expands 10,000 sq km to the East. Gabu, Mossi and Wolof contribute to the military and economy.
 * Normandy: The nation is relieved at the final ending of the war. The HBC expands by 5000 sq km, while Benin and Mogadishu expand by 10,000 sq km. Normandy feels the effects of Stage 2 industrialization, which includes the growing prominence of steam power and water wheels, as well as centralizad health care, and Urbanization.
 * The Mayan Empire continues trade with European colonies and the Lakota. Steam power and water wheels are incorporated in the southern part of the Empire. Chemistry is investigated and researched. Chorotega and Boruca continue build-up as trade hubs and industrial leaders. Chichen Itza and Tenochtitlan, as well as other major cities in the Empire, urbanize. Trade through North Maori and New Ceatl continues, allowing for more trade with Asian nations. Infrastructure in Zapotec continues to be updated. The colony of Halakin continues trading with the nations in Atlantia, especially Brandenburg. The Juun family continues setting up schools. More universities are established in middle class provinces. Roads in the northern part of the Empire continue to be updated, 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. 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. Greater Kaliforno expands 5150 km and Haven expands 3100 km.
 * Apache continues expanding 8000 km north.
 * Propaganda is pumped all around the nation, telling workers to work harder and faster as their future lies with themselves. Scientists heavily test railway engine prototypes all over the nation as this method of transportation becomes viable. Railroads continue to be laid all over the nation as thousands of workers are employed. Many scientists continue to work in the biological field. Death rates begin to decline at a rapid rate. Paper mills continue to make large amounts of paper, with thousand  of books being printed. The SOC continues ferrying the settlers into Amazonia. However, the number increases heavily as many begin to lose work. As a result Uttarshina is expanded by 9200 km (My nation reached Stage 3) by immigrants coming into the colony, and companies flourish as housing is built and roads are expanded to cover all three colonies. The nation's propaganda continues to pump out patriotic messages, and helps gear up the people for a full war much closer to home. Thousands enroll and are trained heavily to be part of an efficient killing machine. The nation continues to amp up their military as its troops get ready for a new campaign. A large number of air furnaces are made in ammunition factories to help build up the military. Bhutan, Kamapura and Dahod continue to expand their economies as trading with the Maharajya helps create growth. Much migration also begins to take place between Orissa and the vassals. Brunei's economy grows significantly and is useful for trading. A lot of the armed forces remain poised on the Mysorian border, but word begins to flow through of a possible ending to the war in Europe. The new Raja continues to work with parliament and the newly added areas of former Sindustan are divided into provinces. In Java, all Bavarians are allowed to stay if they wish, but if they would like to leave their travel home will be completely funded by the Maharajya. Talks also begin with the Javans to return them to Mataram, their own nation.
 * Rajputana expands its army and economy heavily, and Naya Punjab grows by 9200 km. Sindustan amps up on its army and economy. The Khmers expand their economy and army, so do Mataram and Brunei. The puppet state of Naya Bihar expands by 10,000 km inland and they build up their army. Many Orissans begin to settle in Naya Bihar, which as a puppet state has more freedom than the colonies. Naya Bihar's economy grows. Butung also builds up its infrastructure.

1784
''' The start of the year begins as the coldest in recorded history. Nations and peoples north of the Gulf of Mexico, the Pyrennes and the Alps experience the harshest winter on record. Harbours freeze solid and supply lines are cut by snowdrifts. In the spring, meltwaters descend down all of Austria and Germany's rivers causing devastation to numerous cities including Berlin, Dresden, Prague and Vienna. this sends the war efforts of both sides into absolute chaos in the German theatre. Elsewhere, terrible famines decend on India and Egypt due to the disruption of the monsoons by the ash clouds. Over 10% of the population dies of hunger. Mysore, already taxed by the war, revolts in an attempt to form an independent state. '''


 * I believe the war has ended. However, it will still cause damage and disruption to civillians and soldiers returning from the front. Callumthered (talk) 10:17, August 5, 2013 (UTC)
 * Yeah, the war ended in '82 ~Von
 * Yes, and you should really look into what's plausible and what's not. Famine in any place in India (Mysore or Orissa or associated territories) is virtually impossible thanks to trade, industrialization, and the large population base. Anyway, if you look at Gulf Stream climate records from the late 1700s, you'll see that most major storm fronts were moving south and east, if we use the Gulf Stream as the center. Most of these storms would be directed into Atlantia, Africa, and the Southern Atlantic.
 * Also Mysore has been German for well over 200 years, and any attempt to revolt at this point would suffer a similar fate to that of OTL British India's revolts.

(Rhaetian) Crown as Friedrich the First of Aquitaine. Balloon air travels are seen as a good option for military growth.
 * Portugal, León, Aragon, Castille, Navarra and Granada's economies improve, while agriculture continues developing in Castille. Meanwhile in Aragon and Portugal, industrialization continues, and Meanwhile in Castille, the canal's construction continues. Meanwhile in Portugal, Estevão de Gusmão makes another demonstration before a crowd at the Ribeira royal palace, before the Emperor Pedro III and the Empress Berengaria. The flight lasted approximately eight minutes, covered two miles (3 km), and obtained an altitude of about 1500 feet (460 m). The craft landed safely after flying.(Sorry for the anachronistic measures again.) However by this time, an Bavarian seems to have invented a similar aircraft simultaneously, and made a demonstration in Europe before the Gusmão aircraft's demonstration. Nevertheless, Estevão de Gusmão starts construction of a bigger balloon with the purpose of making flights with humans. Soon manned flights with the Gusmão balloons follow. Meanwhile, Sofala expands 500 sq km and Angola expands 500 sq km. Meanwhile in Brasil, Maranhão expands 8500 sq km.
 * The Germanic Reich proposes an alliance with Iberia.
 * All the Germanic states expand their militaries. Talks of revolution and fiery passion for it begin to rise in the territories, now that the war is over. Tsar-Kaiser Frederick dies of a heart attack, and his son Ludwig VI takes the throne. He vows to avenge the loss as well as regain the territory. However, there is some mild jubilation since there was not a very massive loss of land. However, the loss of life is unforgettable and fresh in the minds of everyone. Grand Duke Heinrich, a very popular noble from West Prussia, was killed in battle, and the national opinion of all their neighbors is soured. Only Wales is remotely trusted, but Russia is still a firm ally. We now turn to Portugal for stronger alliances. Industrialization continues on massive scales, as well as vast militarization. Balloon travel is looked into for possible military options.
 * Forgetting somebody?
 * 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. Some more funding is put into science and agriculture. More fertilisers are created and used on fields. More air furnaces are also built. Meanwhile, urbanisation continues in Kyushu, Shikoku and parts of Honshu. More Steam Power is built, and a few water wheels are built. Aid and clean up continues to areas affected by the Volcano.
 * Reiches Großraum Bayern: The nation continues to industrialise. The nation of Bavaria and Saxony continue to grow closer. Montigrue continues to test his balloons, despite hearing of an Iberian version. Diplomats travel to Paris for a conference. The nation becomes increasingly isolationist, many people have begun to shun the idea of war all-together. The Reichstag drafts the Articles of Peace, which outline the new isolationist policies of the people. Infrastructure is upgraded. Industrialisation moves ever closer to Stage 3. Crops fair better this year due to the ash blowing farther east. Prague still is covered in a layer of ash. The Reichstag drafts up a new bill that essentially limits the power of the monarchy, the King can no longer declare war without approval from both houses of the Reichstag. The bill also adds the freedom of speech and removes a state religion, declaring freedom of religion. The right to petition and assemble is also granted. These sweeping changes will take years to accomplish.
 * Kommisariat Hamburg: The administrative region continues to assimilate into Bavaria. The new freedoms are greeted with positive feedback. The military expands, infrastructure is rebuilt.
 * Bavarian Indonesia: Builds military and expands infrastructure. Industrialism booms in Borneo and the outlying areas. The city of Banjarmasin grows exponentially due to the continuing migration to the cities. Freedom of religion is celebrated due to the large non-Christian population.
 * Bavarian Australis: Neu Munchen expands 15,000 sq km. Water Wheels make it to the colony, The Hurem Group takes to pearling and begins exporting the valuable commodity to Europe. Governor Kossack orders the expansion of the capital, Broomestadt. Forts are constructed in the wilderness. Kossack orders more forts built on the frontier.The former royal family decides to settle down. After many years, Kossack retires from the Governorship. Kossack makes plans to return to Bavaria and take the newly formed position of Prime Minister of the Empire. An election will be held in the next year for his replacement.
 * I'm back! Yay! Russia: The Russian Duma politely tells the Ukrainian Nationalists that if they would wish to declare independence from Russia, they should first prove that they have support of the people by winning seats in the Duma, whose elections are held next year. The so-called Ukrainians, who have not been attempted to be assimilated due to Russia's political system, being ATL's analogue of a democratic parlimentary elective constitutional monarchy, and would not really want to do so due to, well, relative stability(kind of hypocritical, if you ask me, that the Anatolians can't revolt, and the Ukrainians can...I mean, I will create that kingdom, but not because of support type things, but because the Tsar, who is from Ukraine, sees this as a sort of advantage for some reason). In any case, Russia mourns the death of their Tsar, but is in a sense relieved, because many blame him for a war that lasted nearly eight years and gave Russia no gains and only losses in population. Russia calls new elections for their tsar, and messenger pigeons are sent all througout the realm, to hold elections for tsar. The Line of the Last Duke of Riga dies and a grand council is appointed and they decide to ask Russia that they could link the thrones and be equals, The FDC (Federated Duchy of the Caucassus) also petitions the Russian to be equals. The Posadnik, acting with the Tsar's authority during interregnum, accepts. A month later, the Veche of 500,000 people is convened, and a Russian is picked this time, as the Russians do not want to be dragged into another foreign war, a man from Kiev, Anton Gritsai, a very charismatic member of the Duma, and the previous Gorodskoi Posadnik (mayor) of Kiev. He is crowned in the Novgorodian fashion, Anton I Gritsai, Tsar and Lord of Novgorod the Great and Russia, Tsar and Lord of Minsk and White Russia, Grand Prince of Helsinki and Suur-Suomi (Greater Finland), Sovereign of the Caucassus, Knyaz of Riga, Supervisor of Astrakhan, Advisor to the Tatars, Defender and Provider of Norway, Defender of the Saami Sovreign and Ruler of the Russian realm and its colonies of Zalivskaya Novorossiya and Kanada by the power granted to him by the Great Ryad of the People of Novgorod, Minsk, Kiev, Moskva, Kazan, Helsinki, Taalinn, The Valey, Karelia, Sibiria, Astarkhan, Baku, and the Shining Continent. Russia begins to recover from the war, but the war has forced certain industries to evolve quickly, namely the iron industry, and Russians invent the two-piston steam engine if not already done. The Colonists, however, need to pay more taxes than usual...
 * Kingdom of the Netherlands: The King continues to expand the military, focusing on the navy. Argentium colony expands 5000 km north. Chile colony expands the north coast 3000 km. Warqama expands 1000 km north.
 * Oldeburg, Liege, Indonesia, Kongo, Dutch Persia, Cleves, West Munster, Warqama continue sending military aid. Kongo expands 10,000 sq km inland.
 * UMSHM: The nation celebrates the end of the war and the narrow victory. However, the bleak winter brings the celebrations to a quick end. The Royal granaries are distributed amongst the most needy, but even so, many thousands die. Some regiments returning from the front are almost completely wiped out by the freezing temperatures, and there are reports of cannibalism. The spring brings welcome relief, however that too is cut short by the great floods. Dresden, especially the poorer quarters, which are built on lower ground, is heavily damaged, making thousands homeless. King-Duke Wolfram opens up his lesser palace for the homeless to reside in temporarily, and the city's cathedral is also opened up for the same purpose. As summer arrives, the massive cleanup and rebuilding begins. Farmers are given emergency loans from the Saxon branch of the Bayerische Bankgruppe, and convicts are set to work on the farms. By mid-late summer, all the soldiers have returned home. The majority are given promissory notes for their retrospective pay and are stood down. This leaves many men without jobs, quite a lot of whom are permanently disabled by the war. The "Heroes of Bergen" are brought home. The public treats them to a victory parade, and there is some anger over the government's plan to trade Saxon Norway for "some petty black colony". In the colonies: The war officially ends in the Guinea Schutzgebiet, and the regular troops of the colony (supported by the partisan militias and the Khmer Koch Volunteers) occupy the capital of the Brandenburger colony. They are overjoyed at the news that the government plans on trading "some icy wasteland" for their hard-fought gains. The news of the war's end is greeted with celebrations in Saxon West Africa. The SWA Volunteers return home, having received minimal losses, and are welcomed as triumphant victors. The royal family, on the day of their departure, refer to SWA as "the crown jewel of Saxony". Saxon Australis and the Khmer Koch colony settle back to normal.
 * Cyprus, shocked at the devastation that has shockingly occurred in Europe and closer to home in Egypt, immediately gathers excess supplies and sends ships to southern Italia and also Brandeburg and Bavaria, as well as Egypt. The fertile lands of Bodrum and Attaleia are used to produce foodstuffs also to send to the affected areas. Nea Lefkosia and Nea Larnaka also operate as grain hubs, sending Cypriot produce up the East Coast of Antilia. King Stephanos II sends his personal condolences. Nea Lefkosia is expanded by 2000 sq km, Nea Larnaka is expanded by 2000 sq km and Nea Lemesos is expanded by 2000 sq km. Cyprus' economy grows with the stimulation offered by the disaster. Plans begin to be founded for Attaleia and Bodrum to become part of the Port Plan, which would operate out of a conjunction of Bengazi, Heraklion, Attaleia, Bodrum and various Cypriot ports, in an effort to boost Cypriot trade around the Mediterranean. Ports outside of the nominal land, including Nea Akrotiri, the main city of Nea Lefkosia, Nea Khirokitia, the capital of Nea Larnaka, Nea Kophinou, the capital of Nea Lemesos, and Nea Maroni, the capital of Nea Pafos, are not included in this trading scheme, however the Cypriots, a seafaring nation, plan to use these ports, manned with native crews, to make these ports effective trading hubs of their respective regions.
 * Crete also sends various foodstuffs and other aid by way of Cypriot ships. The economy is given a boost due to the exports.
 * Cyrenaica can do little in the way of exports due to limited fertile land, but some of the fledgling Cyrenaican Navy is sent to help the Cypriots with trade. The navy expands as more boats are built to accommodate the ships.
 * France: Nouvelle Bourgogne expands 3000 sq km, while La Riviere and Baie d'Eric (Erik's Bay) expand by 1700 sq km inland and Brasilea expands by 3000 sq km inland and Baie d'Notre Dame expands by 1100 sq km. School system is devastated, but the growth starts. However, most of the nation is aware of the school system and use it regularly. It closes any remaining trading with Vinland. After three years of work the Provenzal Chemic Joan Louis Pasteur finally has refined his discovery, and with it has made a Granade type projectile based on potassium, He refers to it as calium ignis, it is supposed to be a three compartment grenade with water, gunpowder and potassium. Military is built up. The King Charles enters victorious to Bordeaux claiming the title of protector of Aquitaine. However, he gives his title to his Nephew Friedrich

Aquitainian peoples begin reaching out to Nouvelle Bourgogne beginning an influx of peoples to the colonies of Canarien islands and Brasilea.
 * Angouleme:Military and navy are built up. It enters into dynastic union with La Marche as promised by the french king to Duke Louis X.
 * The Arabian Federation expands its colonies with the Zanj coast colony expanding 2500 sq km inland along Lake Kitara's southern coast as new towns are founded on the Lake's southern shores. The Al-Khalil colony expands 1100 sq km and the New Oman colony expands 1000 sq km inland too. Sultan Abbas oversees Federation economic expansion via industrialization and colonization. The Federation sends lots of aid to the Levant to help them recover from the war, earthquake and the famine in Egypt. The Federation begins importing lots of food from its colonies to help out the Levantines in their famine. Meanwhile the great industrial hub of Khor Fakkan improves its steam engine designs to make them more efficient and powering even larger machines, which are fuelled by Ghiyath bin Hadi’s water purification plants. One Khor Fakkan industrialist called Alim al Husayn begins using his steam engines to power moving equipment in his factories, pushing machinery along steel tracks like they do in the mines of the Federation. He quickly sells on this idea to other factory owners as track systems for moving goods from coastline factories to the wharf.
 * The Dimurat Kingdom builds up its military as the Kingdom recovers from the war. King Da’ud continues with his plans to invade Persia. Elsewhere the Dimurati East Africa colony expands 2000 sq km and the nation is industrialized, too.
 * The Qoyunlu Empire works on re-building the military to recover from the war. Emperor Uzun Hassan also begins to merge the Kurds and Qoyunlu ethnic groups together in order to quell the growing civil problems between the Kurds and Turks. However the stopping of Egyptian grain causes a food shortage in the empire, which further increases the tensions.
 * The Levantine Kingdom builds up its military to recover from the war. The crisis worsens in the Kingdom as the drought in Egypt stops most of the food supplies to the areas devastated by last year’s earthquake. Elsewhere colonial expansion continues, with the New Syria colony expanding 4500 sq km inland as people flee the Levant to start a new life free of the troubles which are currently plaguing the Levant. King Joshua sends in the military to help re-build the crisis-stricken regions of the Levant, and appeals to his allies to send food to help out the famine-stricken Egyptians. The King thanks those nations which have already sent aid.
 * The Sultanate of Baghdad builds up its military to recover from the war. Sultan Abdur Rahim continues to pursue industrialization in his Sultanate as water wheel powered factories spring up near the rivers of the Sultanate. The Sultan sends lots of aid and help to the Levant to aid their recover from their national emergency; however a small famine occurs in the Sultanate this year, so Baghdad is unable to send as much aid this year as it did last year.
 * The Sultanate of Kuwait, the Maldives, the Republic of Comchellak, the Kingdom of Tanimbarkai, Mangystau and Warsangali all build up their respective economies as the nations industrialize and send aid to the crisis-stricken Levantines.
 * The Great Haruwin of the Selk'nam: After several years of holdups in the contruction of a colonization fleet, Great Chief Damasus announces that he will finally announces the Second Secret of Zhangzi Hg'ich to ease the overcrowding in K'onip. In a speech to a near-rioting crown in K'onip, Damasus announces that Zhangzi Hg'ich's first discovery was not Yagich Rafael, but a luch and uninhabited island in the atlantic between K'onip and Africa. The island is lush, green, and warmer than any place in the Haruwin, but still suited to the climactic preferences of the Selk'nam. It was not revealed as the first secret becasue, while Yagich Rafael is much les hospitable, the new island is much smaller and can fit fewer people. However, the advent of kelp-farming has revolutionized Selk'nam agriculture to the point where a small island city can be the basis for massive kelp farms in the surrounding sea. The new land will be colonized immediately by five shiploads of people on the Yagich Rafael waiting list, with five more to follow for each of the next three years - however colonization will stop when the island raches capacity, as it is so small. Damasus announces that the birth of his second grandchild will be memorialized by naming the colony Yagich Atticus. While many K'onipian pundits say that this will not be enough, potential colonists nonetheless rush to attempt to book passage to the new islands, as it is said to have a much better climate than Yagich Rafael. On September 8th, the first three ships land at Yagich Atticus (OTL Tristan de Cunha). While the islands pastureland is limited, the mountain in the middle of the island is perfect for guanacos despite being ill suited for human habitation. A settlement is constructed on the one large, flat part of the island and named Madoc and Praxedes on the Sea, after the parents of the colony's namesake prince. Many in Ona Yagich find this cumbersome and list the settlement in records as "M.P.S." (M.P.S. is located at the site of OTL Edinburgh of the Seven Seas ).
 * Selk'nam Diplomacy: Maugholdian emmissaries are sent to Magedeburg  and Brandenburg, opposing capitals in the recent war,  seeking the entrance of both into the new Apostolic Church. Brother Polycarp, as head of the Maugholdian order, believes strongly that the nations of Europe can be more at peace if they once again unite under a reformed but united Christian faith, rather than splintering into national churches in protest of the excesses of Catholicism. He alsos seeks continued protection for the Maugholdian monastery in Magedeburg and permission to build anouther in Germanic territory. (Saxony and Brandenburg, please respond - this is a sincere effort by the way, and workable given the current state of religious affairs in German areas. However I would also note that responses to this effort will not affect the conduct of the Sek'nam Government as Brother Polycarp acts only for the Maugholdian order and not for either the Selk'nam state OR the Selk'nam Church which is under a separate authority structure.)
 * Propaganda is pumped all around the nation, telling workers to work harder and faster as their future lies with themselves. A suitable engine is decided upon and is planned to be implemented all over the nation. Railroads continue to be laid all over the nation as thousands of workers are employed. Many scientists continue to work in the biological field. Death rates begin to decline at a rapid rate. Paper mills continue to make large amounts of paper, with thousands of books being printed. The SOC continues ferrying the settlers into Amazonia. Yet with the famine, hundreds of thousands make their way to the colonies in Amazonia. As a result Uttarshina is expanded by 9200 km (My nation reached Stage 3) by immigrants coming into the colony, and companies flourish as housing is built and roads are expanded to cover all three colonies. The nation's propaganda continues to pump out patriotic messages, and helps gear up the people for a full war much closer to home. Thousands enroll and are trained heavily to be part of an efficient killing machine. The nation continues to amp up their military as its troops get ready for a new campaign. A large number of air furnaces are made in ammunition factories to help build up the military. Bhutan, Kamapura and Dahod continue to expand their economies as trading with the Maharajya helps create growth. Much migration also begins to take place between Orissa and the vassals. Brunei's economy grows significantly and is useful for trading. A lot of the armed forces remain poised on the Mysorian border, but word begins to flow through of a possible ending to the war in Europe. The new Raja continues to work with parliament and the newly added areas of former Sindustan are divided into provinces. However, there is much unrest in the nation due to the famine sweeping through the  nation. Huge amounts of food are imported from the colonies, causing large amounts of rioting. Yet the Raja considers this a necessary evil as he needs to feed his population at home. Millions still die in the nation, and the Germans are blamed by the ordinary folk, who think that the Germans might have poisoned the water supply. The government does not clear this up as they believe the people need this to have something to blame. This only goes onto fuel the fires already burning in the nation. In Java, many Matarami officials return and begin to lobby for the island on which Mataram began to rejoin it. This gains a huge approval among the people. Meanwhile, in Mysore, pro Orissan rebels are heavily funded.
 * Rajputana expands its army and economy heavily, and Naya Punjab grows by 9200 km. Sindustan amps up on its army and economy. The Khmers expand their economy and army, so do Mataram and Brunei. The puppet state of Naya Bihar expands by 10,000 km inland and they build up their army. Many Orissans begin to settle in Naya Bihar, which as a puppet state has more freedom than the colonies. Naya Bihar's economy grows. Butung also builds up its infrastructure. All nations try to deal with the cold weather and hope for the best.
 * Great Brython continues its process of industrialization. Cardiff Steel and Cardiff Weapons both continue to help this process. The air furnace and steam power continue to help agriculture, along with fertilizers and crop rotation. Population grows and cities like Cardiff, London, Edinburgh, Belfast, and Rennes all become urbanized. More radical ideas are formed in healthcare and anatomical studies are formed. The economy grows.
 * The WTC oversees the expansion of De Mor Tir 3000 sq km, as Tulpung yr Aber also grows 3000 sq km. TheWelsh Royal Coast and Morocco each expand by 10,000 sq km, now that their period of vassalization is completed. Hobyo-Somalia and New South Wales growe their economies and militaries. The Apostolic Church movement begins to catch on in all states, especially in the Welsh Royal Coast and Morocco.
 * The Apostolic Church finalizes its process of districting and other church eventslargely established all needed infrastructure to be considered a full-fledged institution. At the head of the Church is the Prime Bishop, who is currently the former Cardinal of Avalon. After the Prime Bishop come Archbishops, in charge of the Church for a nation. After Archbishops are Bishops, and finally Priests. Besides the Most Holy and Venerable Holy Order of St. Maughold of K'onip (to be controlled by the Selk'nam), the Prime Bishop establishes the Holy Order of the Brotherhood of Christian Soldiers of St. David of Wales, a semi-militaristic Holy Order (to be controlled by Wales).
 * The Prime Bishop asks the Primate at Magdeburg to consider joining the One True Holy Catholic and Apostolic Church of Christ, and receiving special status. (Note: The Prime Bishopric will rotate every month or so).
 * The Primate of Magdeburg welcomes the diplomats cordially, but he and the rest of the catholic clergy in Saxony are unsure about joining this new church. Does it even have the sacrament of Confession?
 * The Selk'nam Maugholdian emmissaries (who are already in Magdeburg - see post) point out that while confession is not universally acknowledged as a sacrament, it is still widely practiced, and that daily confession remains a key tenet of the rule of St. Maughold and as such Maugholdian brothers and priests are requied to attend daily confessions. They also note that is is still universally praciticed and treated as necessary in the Selk'nam lands. While the church does have overarching leadership and some basic positions, it allows a great deal of latitude to local branches. Most Selk'nam religious decisions are made by the Archbishop of Ona Yagich, not the Prime Bishop of the Apostolic Church.
 * The Mayan Empire continues trade with European colonies and the Lakota. Aid is sent to nations affected by the harsh winter, including Lakota, Brandenburg, Bavaria, and France. Steam power and water wheels are incorporated in the southern part of the Empire. Chemistry is investigated and researched. Chorotega and Boruca continue build-up as trade hubs and industrial leaders. Chichen Itza and Tenochtitlan, as well as other major cities in the Empire, urbanize. Trade through North Maori and New Ceatl continues, allowing for more trade with Asian nations. Infrastructure in Zapotec continues to be updated. The colony of Halakin continues trading with the nations in Atlantia, especially Brandenburg. The Juun family continues setting up schools. More universities are established in middle class provinces. Roads in the northern part of the Empire continue to be updated, 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. 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. Greater Kaliforno expands 5150 km and Haven expands 3100 km.
 * Apache continues expanding 8000 km north.
 * Italia continues to repair the damage from the earthquake. Some food supplies are sent to Bavaria and Saxony while aid is also sent to Egypt. Urbanization continues in Southern and Western Italia at a rapid pace especially in the port cities of Naples, Palermo and Genoa. Venice begins to make a name for itself in tourism for the upper class, education and naval construction in some of the farther islands with the lagoon's sheltered and settled condition proving to be perfect for shipbuilding. Florence and a few other cities in central Italia continue to use a steam-powered form of the water wheel and develop small cottage businesses. Scientists from across Europe flock to witness the almost constant public demonstrations and experiments at the University of Venice in the field of chemistry. Meanwhile, the University of Milan and the University of Istria continue to lead in the study of human anatomy with near daily dissections much to the displeasure of the local populace. The University of Southern Tyrolia makes progress in the field of astronomy, identifying a few new stars and moons. Italia and its subject nations continue to experience a declining death rate as a result of greater understanding of how the human body works. Printing presses in the major cities churn out daily newspapers for the people reporting on various news across the Italian dominions. Aymara and Nya Gyptios expand at 10,000 sq km inland while Nuovo Brescia expands by 8500 sq km in Australia. Nuovo Venexia expands by 8500 sq km also
 * Romania, Hungary and Padang work on their economies. Yugoslavia works on its army after their troops return from the war while Greece, Siam and Malacca work on their navies.
 * Ethiopia continues to expand its military, economy, and infrastructure, including those of the vassals. The colonies of Dähnnät and Täsfa are expanded by 325 km, the colony of Borona is expanded by 1100 km, and the colony of Msraq Qäsärä is expanded by 2600 km, while the colony of Mogas is expanded by 25 km.

1785
''' An earthquake strikes the French colony of Nouvelle Bourgogne. '''

''' Colder temperatures continue to plague Europe with severe food shortages in the British Isles, France, the Netherlands and the German states. Coupled with the power of the pointless war, many people grow discontent with their autocratic rulers. '''


 * Saxony does not have autocratic rulers, just putting it out there. 
 * Bavaria no longer has an absolute monarch, the nation has undergone a change to a constitutional monarchy, with a lot more power to the people, a war like the past one cannot happen again.
 * France is a constitutional monarchy since the revolt of 1614.


 * Portugal, León, Aragon, Castille, Navarra and Granada's economies improve, while agriculture continues developing in Castille. Meanwhile in Aragon and Portugal, industrialization continues, and Meanwhile in Castille, the canal's construction continues. Meanwhile in Portugal, Empress Berengaria dies, and is succeeded on the kingdom of Castille by her son, Afonso, who in Castille, is crowned as "By The Grace of God, Alfonso XVI, King of Castille, Toledo, Jaén, Cantabria and Murcia, Prince of Galicia, Duke of Huete, Pastrana, Peñafiel, Soría and Villalba, Marchess of Auñón, La Adrada and Malagón and Count of Alcaudete, Bañares, Castrojeriz and Villalobos". Meanwhile, Afonso's eldest son, José, is married to Leonor Álvarez de Los Cameros, daughter of Garcia VIII Álvarez de Los Cameros, Marchess of Los Cameros in Castille. Meanwhile, the developments of balloons continue, and the first accidents also happen.in other notes, an inventor called João Figueiredo travels from Faro, in Portugal to Huelva, in León in a hydrogen gas balloon. Meanwhile, the Brandenburger offer is received, and after some time considering it, Portugal accepts. Meanwhile, Sofala expands 500 sq km and Angola expands 500 sq km. Meanwhile in Brasil, Maranhão expands 8500 sq km. Meanwhile in Rio da Prata, an university is founded in Valparaiso.
 * The Mononobe Shogunate builds up the military. More Taoist Temples and Shinto Shrines are built throughout the nation and in the colony of Miyako.

Aid and clean up continues to areas affected by the Volcano.
 * The Great Haruwin of the Selk'nam: Yagich Rafeal expands by 1000 sq km, Yagich Atticus expands onto the small neighboring islands which they call Praxedes Yagich (OTLNightingale Island ) and Madoc Yagich (OTL Inaccesible Island) for a total of 18 sq km of expansion (I'm working with small islands - that's all the land there is, round however you wish). Each of these two islands is populated by half a shipload of people whose mission is to establish the two smaller islands as guanaco and Rafael Bread farms for the larger settlement on Yagich Atticus.  Yagich Atticus itself receives new shiploads of settlers and is quickly becoming a bustling town based on the increasing population, small size of the island, and dependence on kelp farming. Great Chief Damasus announces the construction of 20 new naval vessels, ten of which will be permanently stationed in Yagich Rafael, and ten of which will sail out of Yagich Atticus. "With these ships," the Chief says, "none will say that the Antarctic waters, from Atlantia to Yagich Rafael, are not the birthright of the Christian Selk'nam Haruwin."  Brother Polycarp ramps up Maugholdian missionary activity in the Taoist areas surrounding Miyako Yagich, much to the frustration of the local nobles, and to the dismay of Brother Eutychianus, who as head of the Selk'nam church has loftier ambitions and is not of a mind to expend time and energy on fight with a largely allied local community. However, Polycarp also order the Mugholdians in Mageduburg, the Aru Islands, and Rio da Prata to recruit more heavily from among the locals, resulting in the revitalization of the Overseas Maugholdian community. A shipload of Maugholdians is also send to offer humanitarian aid to Nouvelle Bourgogne.

The nation becomes increasingly isolationist, many people have begun to shun the idea of war all-together. The Reichstag drafts the Articles of Peace, which outline the new isolationist policies of the people. Infrastructure is upgraded. Industrialisation moves ever closer to Stage 3. Crops fair better this year due to the ash blowing farther east. Prague still is covered in a layer of ash. The Reichstag drafts up a new bill that essentially limits the power of the monarchy, the King can no longer declare war without approval from both houses of the Reichstag. The bill also adds the freedom of speech and removes a state religion, declaring freedom of religion. The right to petition and assemble is also granted. These sweeping changes will take years to accomplish.
