Principia Moderni III (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 1400 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. The second game, instead of being a worthy successor to the first, was marred by over-expansionism, feuds between players, ambiguity in the rules, which often caused controversy on wars between player nations, over-competitiveness, and overall inactivity of the moderators, but was nevertheless successful in reaching the Modern Age. And thus, this third installment has been created. Welcome to Principia Moderni III!

'''And on the first day, the LORD proclaimed that the game would have 50 players. And so 50 players it had. And He said the record shall be broken, and the record was broken.'''

'''And on the second day, He said that the game would have 52 players! And 52 players it did have! And He said the record would be broken once more. And so it was broken once more.'''

'''And on the third day, He declared that the game would have 58 players. And correct He was once more, for 58 players it did have. Again, He said the record was to be broken, and so it was.'''

'''And on the fourth day, He decided that the game would have 60 players! And He was not in the wrong again for 60 players the game did have, and the record of records was to be broken again, and it was as such!'''

Something about 62 players on the eleventh day.

In the winter months following heavy snowfall in the Netherlands, the city council of Amsterdam prohibits snowball fights, declaring that "Neymant en moet met sneecluyten werpen nocht maecht noch wijf noch manspersoon" ("no one shall throw with snowballs, neither men nor women").

'''After a long period of stabilization, uncertainty begins to rise in the Marrikuwuyanga Empire of Northern Australia as the young Emperor has come of age. The regency of the boy king’s uncle, Tipuamantimirrimirri has been viewed as a stabilizing force over the Tiwi Islands, but with the Emperor taking control of his own affairs, rumors circulate that he may be more ambitious than his uncle. The nascent military has improved their technology to include the ability to forge their own weapons using technology purchased from civilizations in Indonesia, and large orders of iron are placed to make more. It is rumored that the Emperor will seek to expand his reach and seek to begin mining his own gold and iron, rather than simply trading hardwood'''

'''A yet to be identified disease emerges in the Mesopotamia/Persia area beginning to kill people. Most people are suffering from difficulty in breathing showing increased fatigue from just normal everyday activity. Any attempts to prevent spread fail and result in infection but not always death. This disease spreads rapidly spreading through the Middle East, and Eastern Europe and gaining various footholds in Africa as well using the Saharan trade routes and newer sea trade to infect West Africa. Containment across the board seems relatively ineffective.'''

'''A unified government is established in Egypt under the rule of a new dynasty. The reaches of the nation are secured through the use of the military, stomping out several rival local rulers and rivals leaving the Christian kingdoms nearly as enclaves in Egypt'''.

The Sultanate of Salaam evicts the Italians from the area as well and heavily fortifies the border with the Hungarian enclave.
 * Prussia: The Prussians continue to convert to the Western Church. The Prussians begin to build their army. The Prussians officially vassalize Ossel-Wiek.
 * Courland: The Curonians also continue developing their economy and military. The Curonians also continue converting to the Western Church.
 * Ossel-Wiek: Ossel-Wiek also continue developing their economy and military. Ossel-Wiek also continue converting to the Western Church.
 * Oyo Empire: Oyo continues its expedition into Mali's lands by sailing up the Niger River from their own lands. The arrival of European guns from Castilian ships have allowed the departing Oyo troops to equip themselves before their invasion. With nearly all of the Malian cities and population located on the central Niger River, and relatively unprepared for a southern invasion, not to mention the ongoing uprising of the Songhai, the Oyo successfully enter and conquer multiple cities in the Mali Empire. As the Oyo move across the river, they discover tens of thousands of decaying bodies, many who have died from fighting, and many more who have died from starvation and disease. With much of their work done for them, the Oyo make brief stops to bury the slain, and continue north and then west along the river. With their cannon, the Oyo are able to take out large walled cities of the Mali, as well as nullify any numerical advantages the Mali may held before Oyo re-inforcements arrive to bolster their forces. Within the first few months of the war, the Mali have lost all of their southeastern territories to the Oyo, and are in full retreat. Oyo generals acknowledge that while the field battles will be theirs for the taking, it will be the later insurgency they must be prepared for. Elsewhere, Oyo traders returning from parts of Africa have warned their peers from trading outside of Oyo without preparation, after they discovered the dangerous plague ravaging the region. The matter is brought before the Asaaju and the Supreme Apejọ, who discuss the matter and seek to figure out how to deal with the potential threat of the plague reaching their own lands. The Oyo government formulates a plan to counter the issue. The first includes regulating the trade routes with North Africa by mandating all traders going to and from that kingdom be certified traders from the Oyo nation. This will ensure that the traders leaving and entering Oyo are checked and cleared by Oyo, and educated in how best to handle the plague. Also, it will allow the government to know who is leaving the nation, and who to watch out for. The second plan involved the regulation of Castilian trade in the port of Lagos. With the Castilians operating out of the port, all Castilian sailors will be separated from the city-folk by moving them to dedicated housing centers outside of the city walls near the port. By containing the foreigners there, the event of a plague reaching the city of Lagos is lessened. Also, by using the secondary port facilities outside of the city, it allows local Oyo vessels to use the main port, without compromising trade with Europe. All goods needed by the Castilians will be handled outside of the city at a point of common acknowledgement, where a permanent merchant and diplomat from Oyo will reside until the crisis has passed, and allowing the Castilians to get whatever goods they need or political information from the quarantined center outside of the city. Anyone who violates the quarantine are to be killed immediately, and the Oyo government has taken steps to ensure the Castilians are aware of the new law in effect. Finally, the government establishes an entire organization to check the nation's water supplies for purity, and regulate trade by land and by sea to ensure that all threats of the plague entering Oyo are either nullified or contained to their best abilities. Asaaju Olorun states clearly that no man may contain the plague from Russia, but they can do their best to at least prevent it from killing hundreds of thousands of people, which the Oyo seem to be succedding in doing. With any luck, they may come out of this as White Russia (Belarus) did during the Black Death more than a century ago. The census reveals a total population of 9,846,012 citizens.
 * Guaymi:  The country begins to develop a formalzed army led by the Emperor's most trusted advisor, Mangali Sutu.  The army stands at 10,000 infantry soldiers, 100 Ngobe specialzed bowmen, and 1200 Guaymi bowmen.  The country also begins to see small cities crop up around the nation as more Guaymians begin to settle closer together as a bartering system is primarily being used.  The roads connecting Ngobe-Bugle and Guaymi have been completed as new trade routes amongst the provinces develop.  At midyear Guaymi sends their established army towards the land dividing the Guaymians and the Ngobians to connect the larger nation with its newly vassalized province.
 * Your waaaay to small, your population is barely 15,000 so yeah thats not happening -Feud
 * Do not uncross a moderator decision unless another mod has agreed on that. -Feud
 * Ngobe-Bugle:  The Ngobians begin to develop a militia separate from their head nation's army as to protect their southern and eastern borders.  Chief Mushuni orders a few hospitals, schools and a large number of homes to be built in their large central city of Jigathiu, from the overproduction of wood cultivated from the previous year.  Toward the end of the year, Chief Mushuni sends a messenger to Emperor Tirarokwete asking for permission to expand their territory with the help of the head of the nation.
 * France: With the defeat of Aragon and the return of French regions of Aragon and the capture of Sardinia, the foundation of the Kingdom of Sardinia begins with the coronation of Prince Louis as Louis I of Sardinia. While this, military and navy are built up. A population boom begins in Northern France after a good weather pattern and good crops. The land swap between Albion and France begins to be enacted and will be finished next year as planned. Vassalization of Aargau continues. the vassalization of foix begins. Military, navy and economy are built up.
 * Burgundy: Military and navy are built up. Economy expands. French troops begin withdrawing to allow Albion takeover.
 * Albret:Military and economy are built up.
 * Nemour:Military and economy are built up.
 * Guyenne:Military and economy are built up.
 * Berry: Military and economy are built up.
 * Bourbon: Military and economy are built up.
 * Lorraine: Military and economy are built up.
 * Verdun: Military and economy are built up.
 * Armagnac: Military and economy are built up.
 * Saluzzo: Military and economy are built up.
 * Sardinia: Military and economy are built up.
 * Basel: Military and economy are built up. A high influx from the French coming out northern and central France begins, starting a complete change in the government (and fulfilling the plan of eventual absolute control over Basel by France)
 * Portugal: Continues a notable buildup in military strength and allows for a vigorous training program on the existing military forces attempting to train them up heavily. Meanwhile, the administration continues to be reformed, and agriculture and commerce are encouraged. Meanwhile, Portugal continues to develop its navy. Meanwhile, Portuguese traders continue visiting the Castilian settlements in the Canaries. Meanwhile, wheat continues to be cultivated in Leiname. By this time, the colony in Leiname starts to export wheat to Portugal. Meanwhile, some Portuguese explorers continue to explore the African coast. the Açores continue to be settled.
 * Mayan Empire: We continue tobuild weaponry for the troops, and set about building roads to connnect the rest of the empire to Yucatan. Naval ships begin patroling our waters, and we begin using fishing as a prime export. Slavery begins to boom, and we push 20 px miles south.
 * Too much expansion in a short period of time. The Maya - according to you - just recently re-emerged from a cultural and societal depression. You can't really go expand so heavily that fast. -Feud
 * County of Oldenburg: The proposed land-swap with Hesse is agreed to (provided we get the smidge more land and keep the East Frisian Islands) and actions are taken to actually do the swap. The OHG sends a further expedition to the Ivory Coast, dropping off two more missionary priests, who join the three left last year. The priests lay the groundwork for the joint Oldenburger-Hessian outpost, which will be established next year. The trade from the Ivory Coast is put entirely towards paying the Scandinavians for Neu Borkum. (This is an economy turn). The two arctic colonies continue to thrive thanks to the whaling and sealing industries. Fisherman also begin using the islands as bases, with Frisian and Oldenburger fishermen becoming more and more adventurous. The fisherman who lives on Neu Baltrum is not particularly pleased about this, and petitions Governor Kestner to do something about it. Governor Kestner, for once given something slightly stimulating to do, springs to action. He gives the fisherman an official charter, and levies a tax on the mainlander fishermen. The tax does nothing to deter them from the rich fisheries, but it does do someting to improve the state of the colony's coffers. In other news, traders begin voicing their concern that the Oldenburger flag is too damn similar to the Aragonese flag! Count Christian VI sees a slight resemblance, and calls upon his chief heralds to think up a better flag, more worthy of the great Oldenburger realm. In yet otherer news, the Council of the County hears of the evil doings of the Amsterdam government. They jokingly send an angry letter to the Dutch monarch, voicing their concern over taking away the "venerable and noble right of every Burger...to throw snowballs whenever they so wish". They back up their words with actions, passing an unenforcable law mandating one snowball fight per day in the Oldenburger town square.
 * Prince-Bishopric of Osnabruck: Bishop Klemens considers starting his own bank, the Episcopal Bank of Osnabruck. His financial advisors think it's a wonderful idea, sensing that this is a wonderful time to break into the financial market. Indeed, lots of things are looking good for Osnabruck economically. Agricultural yields have increased heaps since the nationalisation of manorial lands, and having priests in place of most public servants takes away the need to pay them adequately! Klemens, not usually a man known for his humour, also admonishes the Amsterdam city council for their evil actions. 
 * Mughal Diplomacy: We offer an official trade agreement to ALL the nations in the  INDIAN LEAGUE  in order to recreate the trade routes between the middle-eastern and indian nations. Of course, due to the recent disease in the nations west of our Empire, we will prepare quarantine areas near our borders to keep the disease away from India.
 * Netherlands:  Under the orders of Maurice I the efforts to expand and improve the navy continue. Trade and exploration along the coast of africa continue. The outpost  on the Nigerian Coast is sustianed however thoughts about moving the outpost to the OTL island of Fernando Po are considered. expansion of infrustructure continues. the cultural and economic growth of the netherlands continue.
 * Bengal Sultanate: The decrease in taxes on the landed elite does its job in most areas of the Sultanate, decreasing the tax load on the peasantry and earning him their support. The tax cuts on the merchant class allow for more trade to be conducted, and a recent lax on some of the quota laws allows for more goods to be shipped from Bengal, greatly increasing trade income. Trade with the state of Ava continues, with influence being placed through trade on Ava. Cash crops continue to be grown in large amounts. With our merchants traveling to Ava, Koch, Ahom and Arakan regularly, Islam continues to grow in their nations. Most all trade roads begin to see much-needed maintenance. Due to Bengal having control over lands of multiple ethnicities and religions, literary works in the form of poems and epics continue to take influence from all three religions of the Sultanate. Urdu, also called Hindi by some, becomes more common in the Sultanate due to the mixing of Hindu and Islamic ideals. We cotninue to help finance the Plutocratic State of Jaunpur, Delhi Sultanate, and Bahamani Sultanate by sending gifts directly to the nobles/sultans, offering loans from powerful trade bankers, and decreasing the trade taxes over all of Bengal, allowing more of our merchant goods to travel into those states. We also raise a portion of the Sultan's personal levy and then divide it out to be sent to the states leaders, so that they can do with them what they wish in order to maintain order in their nation. The construction of schools and universities several years ago has led to an increase is scholars and literacy in our nation. The Sultan's son continues to be tutored by scholars from three of the different major religions in the known world, Islam, Buddhism and Hinudism. The friction is defused between the landed elite due to a willing discharge of the Phay-sat schematics, allowing more landed elite to produce them, lowering their price and increasing their availability. Due to the removal of trade barriers between a majority of states in the Indian League, ours and their merchants begin to travel with increased mobility and goods, thereby increasing the trade income and output in the agreeing nations. The scholars from the agreeing nations on the issue of siege guns meet within Khandesh to begin to understand how to create a more powerful cannon.
 * Emirate of Andamana: Mansoor Basil Amirmoez continues to reclaim land on the island to make room for farms, and to have timber for building both boats and houses. The Emirate expands another 500 km into the island. The ships built by the timber from the island help contribute to Bengali trade. Continues working on economy and infrastructure.
 * Rajya of Orissa: Unlike the other vassals of the Bengali Sultanate, Bhandudeva IV is kept farther away from the daily politics of controlling Orissa, relying mainly on Islamic advisors sent directly by the Bengal Sultan. The advisors quickly persuade Bhandudeva IV to allow the Muslim settlers in the northern part of the Rajya to hold land south of the previously agreed living space. Continues working on military and infrastructure. Bhandudeva IV passes away, and the advisors vote in a Hindu successor, named <span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:sans-serif;font-size:13.333333969116211px;line-height:19.19999885559082px;">Kapilendra Deva.
 * Swargadeo of Kamarupa: Now vassalized by Bengal, the Swargadeo of Ahom continues to receive extensive help in creating viable farmland. They do this by continuing a process of land reclamation in the northern part of the state, which is largely marshy and thinly populated. This process of reclamation begins by using dikes, embankments and irrigation systems. The Swargadeo (King) of Ahom passes away and his son inherits the Kingdom from his father.
 * Zapotec (I'm back!): Tlaco II expands Danibaan's influence in the surrounding city-states by way of the Zapotec Alliance. Roadways connecting cities in the alliance help merchants and soldiers move more freely between them. The economy booms with trade as a result of the roads. In the coastal regions under Danibaan's influence, more boats are created. Tlaco orders more to be manufactured to bring in goods from the sea. Daibaan continues expanding into the surrounding city-states north along the gulf coast. Trade with the Aztecs commences after years of stagnation under Tlaco I.
 * Alexandria: Trade continues to increase as the ports are re-established and more people are converted to Coptic Christianity due to the See of Saint Mark's presence, including those of the True Faith. The final portions of the Mashriq fleet is repaired for Alexandria's use. Dignitaries and soldiers from Grigorios remain in the Nile Delta region to help Aiguptia and brother Ibrahim stabilize Aiguptia. Missionaries and political complete organization in the Judea area to establish a Christian Kingdom under the guidance of Alexandria and Aiguptia as the Province of Judea. Ibrahim and Grigorios are working on how to best govern the ara.  Resources and military are sent to to Aiguptia to build and protect  the canal as that process continues and workers are encouraged to go seek out this opportunity - especially minority groups. The Philadelphi Canal opens to light traffic and medium sized ships. At many point though the canal is still being wideded so two or three ships can pass. This leads to growth of the economy. Christians in North African nations are invited to immigrate to Alexandria . The land aquired from Yemen by the Red Sea sees a small port town established for sailors and merchants to rest before going into the Gulf of Aden and Indian Ocean.  Alexandria begins to worry about the plague and takes mild precautionary action and inspects goods and traders. No animals are allowed to be transported through Alexandria or Cairo until further notice. Kyriacos takes his first steps. Econ turn. In the Province of Judea: they raisee up soldiers to protect both Christian, Islamic, and Jewish pilgramages. Taxes are not like those in Alexandria where they favor Christians, but rather equal for all three of these religions. Judea expans 100px into the Sinai Pennisula, strenghting its connection to Aiguptia and Alexandria. Small amounts of conversions take place mainly converting Christians to Coptic Christianity.
 * This was supposed to be part of your nation's proper not a vassal -Feud
 * It is not a vassal ... I just wanted to be specific with its development. It is a subdivision of Alexandria and is reflected as such on my nation page. I have tried to correct this to be more clear. g greg e   (talk)  17:05, April 12, 2014 (UTC)
 * Aiguptia: Continues to stabilize the nation. Engineers, cartographers and philosophers from all trade partners are offered jobs to work on expanding the Philadelphi Canal to take on present day cogs, treasure fleets and other ships. The canal is opened for small ships and light traffic and is expected to fully open in 1474/75, and undergoes final preperations for its initial opening. Workers flow in seeking work and benefits that steam from the jobs, even those from disorganized areas of the former Mashriq Sultinate and the new Sultinate in Egypt. Aiguptia increases efforts to house these immigrant workers. Citizens and people in the surrounding regions and province are converted to Coptic Christianity. Missionaries continue to convert people, especially in Cairo. Cairo also attracts many in anticipation of the canal. The city at the crossing point of the canal OTL Zagazig, begins to be filled by merchants and people looking to get invovled in the trade industry. Military continues training of European tactics picked up from Rome and other Catholic nations that assisted Alexandria.   Inf turn.
 * Mapuche: The usage of the girl's symbols becomes more widespread as a method of communication and as storing information.  Mapuche craftsmen continue to produce increasing quantities of goods and gain wealth, in turn increasing their desire for easier trade.  Several merchants gather in a village to devise ways to transport more goods more quickly; their converstion revolves primarily around how to improve transportation between the villages.  As the Mapuche trade network expands westward, the tribe starts to receive significant quanitities of stone from the mountains and foothills.  The War Band continues its training and upgrades its weapons and armor.  Approximately 15,000 Mapuche inhabit the territory.
 * Hamburg-Mecklenburg: Hamburg is disappointed at Scandinavia's refusal to mend relations. With the city of Hamburg located at the border, some ask Duke Friedrich to move the capital to a city farther away. Friedrich rejects it, saying "Are we the Duchy of Brunswick? The Duchy of Lauenburg? No, we are the Duchy of Hamburg". The Port of Hamburg continues to grow, becoming the largest in the Holy Roman Empire. The Oyo are asked for a trade agreement with Hamburg. Hamburgs African posts continue to bring in more traffic, Neue Lüneburg due to its prime location, and Williamsburg thanks to its position along the ship routes. Meanwhile, Hamburger ships continue to explore the African coast, hearing stories from Dutch and Castilian crews of the Kongo, and determined to reach it. Later in the year, reports of a virus spreading from the Middle East reach Hamburg, and precautions are made for if it arrives.
 * Ruppin: Military expanded.
 * Magdeburg: Military expanded.
 * Oyo Diplomacy: Oyo agrees to the trade acknowledgement of Hamburg.
 * Mughal Empire: We expand our economy and prepare quarantines on our western borders due to the disease spreading.
 * S. Chagatai Khanate: The Khan slowly becomes old, as his war wounds make him more and more weak. The nation works on its infrastructure.
 * The Kingdoms of Great Albion (Scotland and England) - member nation of the UKGA: The Navy is expanded further with the integration of the Scottish and Breton fleets. The number now stands at 440 ships total. The coronation ceremony was a joyous fanfare, the King personally thanked the Castilian and Moroccan attendees. Under the leadership of the new king, the parliaments of Wales, Scotland and England ratify the equal representation act. Wales and Scotland will remain in union with England, but will now have their own parliament to better discuss local affairs. All military will be ceded to England. All three nations are renamed Great Albion. The membership of the United Kingdoms of Greater Albion has gone form four nations to just two, The Kingdom of Eire, and the Kingdoms of Great Albion to better consolidating power in the isles. The transition to a more open system is expected to take the better part of the next few decades. Port Edmundburg continues to experience a growth in population. Albionic settlers continue to explore the surrounding areas. The Albionic Royal Navy begins better mapping Africa for the Crown. After decades of cultural merging, a new, Celto-Germanic culture finally begins to take firmer root. The English language has grown in official use and now royal documents, previously in Latin, are now translated to English. Troops that fought in the Pan Hispania Wars return home and facilitate a minor baby boom. These experienced soldiers now train the army and navy commanders in advanced battle tactics. Minister of Warfare, Alfred Reddington, increases the use of firearms in the military. The King returns to Albion this year, Royal duties are discharged back to the King. Trade is asked from the Oyo. After hearing the Netherlands ridiculous law, the mayor of London declares 12 Noon every winter day as "Scürterch Dag" ( snowball day in Middle English) to poke fun at the the Nedderlanders ( mid English)
 * Brittany: Brittany is officially placed under Albionic influence. The military and navy are expanded.
 * Calais: Military and navy are expanded.
 * Dublin: Dublin undergoes another remodel and expansion to the ports due to the massive influx of trade from Castile and Venice as well as an increased Eire trade.
 * Scotland: The new parliament begins its first session this year. Brian MacNeil is appointed as Royal Minister. Scotland begins to exclusively use the Albionic pound. Several new Consuete Churches are built. The Catholic Diocese, banned for years, has been allowed to resettle. The military and navy are expanded. Scotland sees a major population boom after the war.
 * Wales: Wales expands its military and navy. Cardiff becomes a large centre of trade for Wales. The Welsh appoint Adam Cyrdger as Royal Minister. The first sessions of parliament are held. Wales does not see as large a population boom as Albion or Scotland, but a minor one, centred around Cardiff and Swansea, does occur.
 * Oyo Diplomacy: The Oyo Empire agrees to trade with Albion.
 * Chiribaya We continue to build up are economy and infrastructure.
 * Caucasian Confederation: As the plague spreads throughout the Middle East, the military is expanded in all of the Confederation states to enforce order in the worst-affected areas. While quarantine procedures prove largely ineffective in stopping the spread of the disease, a improvised form of triage does alleviate the worst effects. Nonetheless, the urban centers of Tbliisi, Yerevan, Arbela, and Mosul all suffer heavy losses from the plague. The Muslim populations of the Confederation are particularly hard-hit by the outbreak, since none of the Confederation's leadership sees fit to "waste" propoer medical care upon them. Brief rebellions in Rani over the issue are swiftly are bloodily suppressed. With the Mansuriyyan cession of a Persian port to Assyria complete, refugees from the plague stream southward and begin settling the area south-east of Abadan [OTL Bandar Khomeini]. The port - tentatively named Saporto Alexandre in honor of the ailing Georgian king - is expected to take some twenty years to reach the point where it can organize officially-backed expeditions.
 * Rumania: Radu, now 36, Pushes for more economic growth. He promotes trade and offers tax benefits to merchants, many print shops are opening across the nation after the introduction of the printing press by the venetians. The Venetian school increases its attendance and more scholars are hired to teach classes. The Patriarchate of Rumania encourages its priests to help educate their followers, teaching peasants to write their names and read print. Many new mines open for salt and Iron as well as a few for coal. Coal is becoming a more common source of heat in the winter, also the fuel has seen increasing use in the foundries on the coast, and in forges across Wallachia. A mysterious disease has become a problem across Moldavia and is affecting the coasts of Wallachia and Bulgaria. The prince orders several areas to be designated as “plague Zones” and all persons who show symptoms are to be placed in the areas. Everyone is advised to avoid contact with dying, to prevent the spread of the curse to the healthy. The states of: Kiev, Chernigov, Volhynia and the Azovan Khanate are all sent trade offers, and Alliance offers. (Mod Response needed come now I have been asking for almost a decade)  Mircea II, now 15, continues his education, learning of: economics, military strategy, leadership, mathematics, literature, and other skills necessary for leadership.
 * The Consulate of Bulgaria: Work is done on improving the economy, mines and mills open, as well as several shipyards. Varna bustles with goods. The collapse of the Silk Road has increased the demand for salt, as a preservative, and this is reflected in the rise in demand. Much salt from Rumania is shipped to Varna and exported all across the Mediterranean. Quarantines are established for the victims of the new disease, though cases are relatively rare in the interior.
 * Hesse: Ludwig II, after thinking it over, decides to cancel the buying of the Oldenburger lands. He also demands a reform of the military. Instead of having a bunch of organized regiments Mein Kleines Mädchen, Carola (My Little Girl, Carola) a continous pattern, he decides to follow a chronological pattern. These effects will not effect the structure, but merely the names of the armies. With the construction of the new trade post coming up soon, a detachment of three new ships from the Hessian port towns in Holstein are sent out to scout the southern seas and help with the construction of the trade post. Meanwhile, a group of supply ships drop new colonists and supplies off at Neu Lippe. The ship also drops off the new Count, Hermann IV, Ludwig II's brother. Hermann IV starts the construction efforts as soon as possible. Ludwigism spreads into the newly vassalized lands of Koln and Westfalen. Wilhelm I and Eva both celebrate their tenth birthdays this year in Silberberg. A small town develops around silberberg, mostly of the rich. Meanwhile, Ludwig II has another daughter, Carola. Carola became Ludwig II's favorite child. However, during a travel to Koln, Carola fell from her mother's arms and died on the road. Ludwig II rode back to Silberberg and locked himself away, writing a sad song in the remembrance of Carola.
 * I'm not sure if you can colonise Neu Lippe, as I'm not entirely convinced that you own direct access to the sea. Would you be able to direct me to the turn in which you gained direct sea access? Callumthered (talk) 21:34, April 12, 2014 (UTC) 
 * Ashikaga Shogunate: Dissent among the peasantry in the Shogunate over the Shogun's repressive policies and the divisive introduction of tithes increases, with rural violence spreading out of the Date Province in to the rest of the Shogunate. In the rest of the Shogunate, government forces begin to lose control of the situation, with widespread clashes between the Shogun's military forces and the peasantry. Desertion begins to mark the Shogun's armies, with many men joining the rebel forces. In the Date Province, the Imperial Shinto Sect take de facto control, using their influence to set up a Provisional Council to take control of the Province. Calls are again made for the Emperor to take power to help overthrow the Shogunate. Mod response please.
 * ​The Emperor acquiesces to the calls. Callumthered (talk) 21:34, April 12, 2014 (UTC) 
 * Venetian Republic:
 *  Books on various topics spread from Venice throughout Europe, continuing the Renaissance. Printed in the Venetian language, they teach of the sciences and humanities and revive learning, spreading knowledge (as well as the language) far and wide. .
 *  With the increased supply of Ducats, the fluidity of European trade increases with Ducat using nations benefiting most. 
 *  Many people sentenced to death are drowned in the canals as is the Venetian tradition. The tradition is becoming the primary way to execute criminals and is spreading to the Venetian territories across Europe. 
 *  Fine wool and silk clothing from Titani is exported across the Mediterranean and Black Sea and begins to set the trend in Renaissance clothing. 
 *  Venetian trade reaches across the known world. Merchant ships carry salt, silks, glass and a collection of other goods, both common and rare. Venetian traders are the largest carriers of trade in Europe, with the thousands of ships and a trading tradition continuing to fuel this. 
 *  The Roscol Bank uses local subsidiaries all across Europe to fund trade, with a leaning toward funding trade with Venice. They also fund enterprises across the continent, boosting the economies of the nations which they inhabit. The Roscol Bank invests conservatively. While this doesn't bring in as much wealth as other nations' banking, such as the Dutch, it results in a much more robust level of equity. 
 *  Due to the stability of business and protection afforded to private enterprise in Venice, many merchants set up shop in the city despite being foreign, utilising the Venetian law to protect their businesses. Criminals and a less divided merchant class mean prosperity for all those involved with Venetian business in some way. 
 * In Veneto the military grows. (reaction to Bavaria for Cookie) The Roscol Sigilar Collegantia fumes at the actions of Jacqueline, they invite Eleanor to meet with the Provetidor and other senior officials discuss important matters, which are hinted to include funding as well as militaristic support. The other Venetian Sigilar Collegantia eyes up the situation in Bavaria and raise concern about the developing issues with one of Venice's biggest trade partners in the HRE. The Maxor Consegio meets to discuss the issue and many nobles and merchants there shout to support Eleanor. Two important Venetian merchants called Magno Cancharello and Valerio Volpe, whose businesses in Bavaria have been practically destroyed by the actions of Jacqueline, go to personally join Eleanor's retinue pledging to serve her until the end of their days (and also promising to use their substantial reserves to hire forces in the future). Feel free to use these guys to throw more flavour in, they're your characters now'. Christofo is glad for the increased support for Eleanor and the trouble under Jacqueline but decides that Bavaria needs to be in more turmoil before he can proceed further. The Tola de Savio Onmi supports Christofo's choice to be patient.

 * Castile: The Castilian economy has massively swelled with thanks to the creation of the Spanish confederation and the addition of Aragon's trade and military fleet at Castile's disposal. Along with this, the population of Castile has reached about 6.9 million with growth somewhat slowing down with Castilians migrating to Aragon en masse to fill up positions and prevent some ethnic revolution from developing. Many of these settlers, though, are men offered a policing or security job in the country and many of these men begin to interbreed and help the cultural assimilation of Aragon. Castile, as leader of the Spanish confederation, begins a series of economic and military reforms on all the kingdoms in order to expand all the local economies and militaries and centralize the confederation's economies in general. Castile at this point has explored farther down Africa establishing multiple trade posts along the way and reaching a point where the sea rounds the continent. However, the failure of supplies has led to this exploration fleet having to turn back. Castile has begun the development of a series of new ships meant to replace some of the aging designs and add some new innovations. The Castilian navy begins to replace multiple ships with the new carracks as some of the largest ships in the Castile fleet. The Castilian renaissance with the addition of Aragon's renaissance techniques has exploded significantly and with permission from the monarchy embroiled with organizing the Spanish confederacy and multiple projects the Renaissance has led to a mass amount of art and technological innovation being developed. Castile and its confederacy and vassals has now fully converted to the Western Church with the only exception being Cyprus due to its Orthodox roots and Orthodox leadership which prevents a total conversion. Castile continues to vassalize the Kongo (Five of Eight) using the trade, fleet basing and a promise to help them Christianize their brothers and seize more territory as a pretense for this.
 * Kingdom of Aragon: The Country itself is placed in a personal union under Castile with Ferdinand of Castile ruling over both Castile and Aragon. The relatively good treatment of Aragon by Castile and the fallacy of actions of the previous king in burning various areas and completely razing Aragons capital city have forever earned the enmity and hate of most of the Aragonian people, many of which believed they could continue their lives under Castile in a better fashion, with greater access to Castile's vast diplomatic, trade and military power. This, along with common religion and semi-related language, has lead to a nearly seamless transition into the personal union. Nobles have been appointed by Prince Carlos of Castile personally who has personally overseen the majority of the war in Aragon which with his expertise, charisma and swaying abilities has led to many supporting his decisions on either side. Carlos himself is appointed the transitional governor of Aragon in order to facilitate a much smoother transition. The Kingdom's navy previously seized is returned to people sympathetic to Castilians and the military navy in particular is given to a series of respected and well known aragonians loyal to Castile. Aragon's assimilation into Castile cultural base begins due to many nobles now speaking Spanish (Castilian) which shows a notable effect of a few people especially merchants which are currently able to speak the language proficiently. Aragonians spurred on by Prince Carlos to rebuild Zaragoza begin the work needed to rebuild the city and the various burned towns surrounding the city. For the time being, however, the capital of Aragon proper is migrated to Valencia. With Castilian assistance various infrastructural areas are rebuilt and the military is expanded to a token force of 4000. Along with this support the Aragonian economy recovers slowly with a slow but controlled influx of Castilian economic aid helping Aragon recover. The Aragonian Navy is allowed by Castile to move towards settlements in the Canaries down into Capo Verde, and according to Castilian trade agreements docks in Oyo for trade nearly doubling their previous range. This is pushed down further pushing underneath Oyo farther down the coast using Castilian trade posts to explore.
 * Kingdom of Granada: The economy, while moderate, is expanded. The Prince of Granada is a Castilian noble named Juan Cortez who is extremely biased against Muslims due to his father's death in the original war against Morocco over Gibraltar. The countries armed forces also begin to fight the remaining Muslims in the mountains and begin the force conversion of the remaining Muslims in Granada.  The military is worked on just in case. The Granadan kingdom begins to build up a moderate navy with the expressed example of reaching 50 ships over the next few years. The Granadan prince begins to look at the integration of Granada as a possibility due to the majority of the population being Western Catholic and Castilian. This is to be done over a long term period.
 * Kingdom of Cyprus:The King of Cyprus is now King Alexander of Cyprus. The King of Cyprus begins to see Castilian culture not as a dominant force but a possible blendable culture that can fit well within Cypriot society. The economy and military of the country is built up as is the infrastructure with a nice road system being built throughout the country. Cyprus gaining large funds from being a Castilian trade hub, begins building a few ships domestically, and purchases ships from Castile, or her allies shipwrights forming a respectable Cypriot navy of almost 90 ships with expected expansion to come. This expansion has been achieved specifically thanks to huge amounts of outsourcing to private shipwrights. Cyprus begins to see an exodus of the Knights Hospitaller west to Castile and her territories and King Matthias begins a larger recruitment for the military managing to raise a force of nearly 10,000. This force is largely funded through the large trade Cyprus has gathered. The troops are styled after Castile's royal army and Cyprus embarks on an intense training program in order to bring them up to standards. The Knights, with many departing also have many older and other knights stay due to their close ties with Cyprus. They remain to run the Knights Hospitaller in Cyprus for the foreseeable future while a large number have migrated across the sea. The Kingdom of Cyprus due to the recent issues in Castile reluctantly recognizes Carlos and his Regency for Prince Ferdinand . Cyprus itself with its fleet of nearly 100 ships begins to take after the Venetian example with trade and begins to put Cypriot merchant ships into state possession for trade in order to help with the kingdoms finances and heavy trade. This show immediate results as a relative increase in funding and attention to trade between castile and her allies begins to improve the quality of trade.
 * Kingdom of Morocco: The less fortunate and disenfranchised are converted. The Kingdom itself is a Christian kingdom with a similar situation of early Castile and Aragon, with large numbers of Muslims and a small number of Christians. However, the Christian community in Morocco is expanded thanks to the influx of traders and settlers from Castile and some other immigrants looking for an opportunity to live a new life here. The Kingdom establishes its capital in Casablanca and with this, begins a major point of establishing a major military presence in the area.  The infrastructure, particularly in dealing with transport and water, is expanded to accommodate more people but the only people allowed to settle are Christians - particularly from Hispania. A notable number of Castilians settle the area.  The leader of Morocco styled a king, out of respect deducts himself in rank to Prince of Morocco as the throne is only to be held by the King of Castile himself if it's ever required. The country begins the construction of various canals and cultivates trees farther inland to help increase arable farmland. The Moroccan economy continue to expand with greater trade coming from Castile and the Canaries all the way down to Capo Verde increasing the relative wealth. The Kingdom's army proper raised by immigrant Christians now numbers about 15,000 itself and is expected to grow. The revolt near Fez is finally stamped out after years, with the first of the Elite Christian Berber troops coming out of the revolt as brilliant, albeit brutal shock troops that put down the revolt.
 * Cuzco: War with the Aymaras contniues. We, fearing we may be outflanked by the Ica-NAzca, expand south into the region between Chiribaya and the Ica-Nazca. The war with the Aymara stirs up a sense of pride, similar to nationalism, in the city of Cuzco. A small population boom begins in the city, the current population stands at 74,000not including the areas conquered from the Aymaras.
 * Safavid Persian Empire: The revolts are hastily put down by agressive force, and meanwhile a new threat is apparent, plague. Quarantines are set up, in hopes that it will slow the spread. Meanwhile we begin to influence Medistan. We work on Military.
 * Yemen: The Emir decides to leave Constantinople, partially because his requests of audience with the Emperor have been ignored, but mainly because when he hears of the recent plague that has stricken his nation, he feels he must return to his nation to help the realm in this time of need. Upon return, the Emir tries everything he can to stop the spread of the plague, but most of the attempts to stop the plague help only slightly and the rest not at all. In a last resort attempt, the Emir tries to assemble some of the scholars to help research a cure or at least a method of containing the plague that is, at least, effective. While initial research makes little progress, the Emir still puts faith in the scholars. While the plague has taken focus off the main politics of the nation, the Emir had closed most ports in a hope to decrease the spread of the plague, which did have an adverse effect on the economy. The Emir continues influencing Oman.
 * In the Tartary, reconstruction continues. The Azovan Khanate continues to be influenced, with more grain being sent into the nation as the flu hits agricultural workers in the nation more hardly than merchants in the Tartary. The economy, however, stops growth because of the events of disease, which hit the nation before efficient quarantine measures could be put in placed by the fledgling state.
 * Great Perm: feels devastating effects of the plague, as it is the most urbanised and densely populated.
 * Adyghea's isolation prevents it from catching the plague this year, and the economy grows.
 * Ayutthaya: (Guns asked me to post for him) expands its infrastructure. The population also grows as the nation is connected to trade routes in its vassal, Sri Vijaya.
 * Sri Vijaya and Padang: expand their economies, while Aceh expands its infrastructure. The Acehi Muslims begin lowering in number as Buddhist pressure begins by citizens of the other vassals of the Thais.
 * Mansuriyya Caliphate: Caliph Fatih refuses to flee and declares that Allah is stronger than any mere disease. The population is counted and is counted as just above 3 million. Containment methods in the outer Mesopotamian villages is ineffective. Baghdad is quarantined, and only the healthy are allowed to enter. The military continues to be improved.
 * In the Emirate of Sanafah, the population continues to expand, despite a recent trend in which no foreign trade is arriving to trade for our spices or other agricultural goods. This leads to a surplus of these supplies as well as a drop in prices which allows locals to afford these goods, which sustained their ancestors for centuries, for the first time in excess. They are extremely pleased with the spices and as a result a minor explosion of culture takes place. Without foreign influences, the martial art of moraingy is expanded to become a cultural phenomena and a sort of competition between villages and towns. Additionally, with a new emphasis on culture in the lack of foreign trade, art begins to develop. Carvings made from various woods begin to become a popular genre of art, and musical developments also take place. Notably, salegy, a popular local genre of music, receives island-wide fame after a number of musicians tour throughout the contryside. The first census is taken, under the auspices of last year's decree. The Madagasikara League is responsible for this census, and puts the population of Sanafah at 367,000. Meanwhile, in Sakalava, the Chief decides to stop expansion and focus upon integration of the main populations, including Bara and Mahafaly tribes. One of the first steps is to bring infrastructure already found in the main cities of Sakalava and Sanafah to the smaller villages of the countryside in Sakalava's frontiers. The Sakalavan census puts the population of Sakalava at 258,000. Dina Morgabin continues to develop as a powerful agricultural center, growing variations of the spices located on Madagasikara but also other spices like ginger, cinnamon, cardamom, curry, and turmeric are grown. The population, as measured in the census, is 9500. Dina Arobi expands to encompass the island of Rodrigues, naming the island Dina Kely, meaning "small island." Dina Arobi's population is recorded as 3700.
 * Sofala continues to expand to the south and gains many cultural elements from Sanafah and the island of Madagasikara. For expample, moraingy spreads throughout the nation, as does salegy music and wood carving art. Additionally, the Malagasy tongue continues to catch on in popularity. Sofala's population is 156,000, according to the census.
 * Merina and Betsimisaraka both are officially centralized this year. Their local chiefs swear fealty to the Grand Chief of the Madagasikara League, effectively becoming vassals of the Sanafahi Emirate. The internal improvements, subsidized by the League continue. Both states are included in the League's census. Merina has a population of 26,000 while Betsimisaraka has a population of 29,000 people.
 * In the Comoros, the art revolution from Sanafah spills over. Culture begins to foment, and the fishing industry contracts minorly this year since trade diminishes. Nonetheless, the economy increases as locals are getting better treatment. The Comoros expand into the Seychelles. Similarly, Pembara expands to the south. The Comoros' population is established as 54,000 according to the census.
 * In Betsileo, a movement to annex Bezanozano begins. It is supported by people and tribal leaders from both nations, and progress towards this end is made. Meanwhile, Betsileo focuses on integrating the various cultures of the island and notably begins to focus on Sakalavan cultural developments, like moraingy and salegy music, which was originally unique to the Sakalavan states. The current ruler of Betsileo begins to grow old and his daughter, the wife of the heir of the Chief of all Sakalava, begins to take over many local affairs from her father. The census puts the population of Betsileo at 230,000 and the population of Bezanozano at 154,000. As a result of the upcoming annexation, Betsileo will be the largest state on Madagasikara in terms of population.
 * Grand Duchy of Bavaria: Forward: A large thanks to Kunarian for providing much welcomed, creative contributions to my Eleanor/Jacqueline story. Landshut expands its military. The population continues to rise. Grand Duchess Jacqueline and her council continue to allow the training of new troops. Several markets are constructed in Landshut as well as trade houses for Austrian and Castilian traders. In Austria, several new ships begin being constructed, with twenty-five very large cogs being finished, and by 1470 a trade route is put in place. Such important places in the trade route include Rome, Athens, Constantinople, Gibraltar, and the coasts of Brittany, due to a longstanding trade deal. Continuing in 1470, Jacqueline commisions six cogs to sail around western Mediterranean coasts. The planned market center in Landshut continues to attract regional traders. In religious news, the country begins converting to the Western Netherlander church. By the end of this year, around 75% of the country adheres to the Western Church. Most adherents live around Munchen and Landshut. In other news, Bavaria continues implementing the Alliance and Merchant Act as well as the Militia and Navy Act. Jacqueline continues efforts to implement Sedevacantist policies in the government, being much more religious than her father. The Grand Duchess continues to make new titles for her nobles and grants them more priveleges. Jaqueline continues to divide Bavaria into provinces and counties; As the year moves on, Jacqueline places several loyal tax collectors and exchequers in each county to simplify the taxing process. She also places several court favorites in mayor positions in Munich, Regensburg, Straubing, and Bamberg. In other news, economic turbulence sets in as merchants cease their trade, both in protest of Jacqueline's rule and the lack of a solid trading center in Landshut, to which most of the merchant class has grown accustomed to using. Tax collectors in cities are able to collect taxes efficiently, so the lower classes are not as unrestful as the merchants. However, in seeing the gratuitous gifts and privileges the nobles are having bestowed upon themselves, the lower classes begin to squirm under Grand Duchess Jacqueline. Even some nobles, those envious of Albrecht von Ingolmaacht and his power, move against her. Ingolmaacht himself continues to draw scandal and intrigue at Trausnitz, where he begins to fear for his safety and standing. On April 2, Eleanor declares her support for the merchants in Bavaria and announces her funding for any revolts against Jacqueline's rule. Eleanor's popularity in Venice grows, where she earns the nickname "Merchant Queen" for her support of middling classes. Two broken down merchants, Magno Cancharello and Valerio Volpe, whose business completely halted by the suspension of the Bavarian Roscol Bank, approach Eleanor and pledge allegiance to her. Eleanor accepts their allegiances on May 12, and two days later orders them to each levy at least 6,000 forces. Later that month, she sends several letters to Bavarian merchants and lords to levy their forces when the time arises and Eleanor re-enters Bavaria. The year ends with rising instability in both the government and economy, where plots begin to rises against Jacqueline and unemployment soars to 12%.
 * Munchen: By 1470, the total class of Queen Isabell University amounts to about 3300 men. Troops authorized by Jacqueline continue training. Several markets are constructed as well as trade houses for European traders. In recent news, unemployment begins to crawl upwards after the suspension of the Roscol Bank in Landshut.
 * Straubing: Troops authorized by Jacqueline continue training. Several markets are constructed as well as trade houses for European traders.
 * Ingolstadt: Troops authorized by Jacqueline continue training. Several markets are constructed as well as trade houses for European traders. The statue dedicated to Eleanor is torn down by supporters of Jacqueline
 * Burgau: Troops authorized by Jacqueline continue training. Several markets are constructed as well as trade houses for European traders.
 * Nurnburg: Troops authorized by Jacqueline continue training. Several markets are constructed as well as trade houses for European traders.
 * Burggrafschaft: Troops authorized by Jacqueline continue training. Several markets are constructed as well as trade houses for European traders.
 * Bamberg: Troops authorized by Jacqueline continue training. Several markets are constructed as well as trade houses for European traders.
 * Wurzburg: Troops authorized by Jacqueline continue training. Several markets are constructed as well as trade houses for European traders. Once more unrests builds as Jacqueline is duchess again. The suspension of the Roscol Bank further fans rebellious flames.
 * Milan: Work continues on the Certosa di Pavia, the Castle Visconteo, and on the extensive Milan Cathedral. We continue training a proper standing army, utilizing Swiss mercenaries and local recruits. With border disputes now settled between the nations of Austria and Switzerland, we continue opening friendly relations with both nations in hopes of repairing our diplomatic relations and protecting our northern border. We continue constructing cogs and galleys to strengthen our navy and protect our interests on the seas. We upgrade infrastructure, as do our vassals.
 * Hungary and all its vassals and puppet states expand militarily and economically. Poland expands its armed forces, too, increasing the strength of its troops by focusing on the training of more knights to fight for the nation. Sigismund continues to handle the affairs of his realm well. His children grow up happily. The ports begin to see a lot more shipping traffic and the crown earns a lot of money due to the Venetian agreeing with the trading deal. This helps bring in huge amounts of money for the crown - which is temporarily stored up with plans to use it later. The expidition to Banu Sulaym manages to salvage a few coastal towns and cities and bring them under Hungarian control. However, over 35,000 Serbian foot soldiers were killed due to the war. Hungary loses a more moderate 1000 soldiers and knights - mainly due to heatstroke as well as due to the defense of the coastal cities from Banu Sulaym. As a result, word is sent to King Sigismund for more foot soldiers to help defend the enclave. Almost immediately, he sends 20,000 more Serb foot soldiers to the cause and the navy quickly transports these men to help defend the enclave and perhaps go on a future offensive. The join Hungarian-Venetian dockyards have finally been upgraded or completed and they now begin to build the first Hungarian Carroks.
 * Novgorod: We continue the production of Koch boats, cannons, hand cannons, advanced crossbows, swords, and composite bows, increasing our military capabilities in case of war. The nation’s training and advancement of military continues. We are producing our new crossbow, and we send the first 50 crossbows to Mecklenburg to test out and the other 250 to test in our nation. We expand north 5528 sq km (by 80 pixels) into undiscovered land, by sending explorers on koch boats to explore the land in the Kola peninsula. The recent classes of Koch ships are being manufactured in Novgorod. The town of St Patriksburg’s population grows a bit more that last year. As the construction of the town improves, the kremlin finishes, trade becoming more in demand, the town gains slightly. Because of the trade road built with Tver our economy increases. We are still talking about the possible unification of the Rus’ with Muscovy. The Russian language is spreading throughout the nation. After seeing a great success with the private schools in the cities of Novgorod, St Patriksburg, Staraya Russa, and Nizhny Novgorod. We start building another private school in Rostov and Yaroslavl. We complete building private schools in Torzhok and a private school in Staraya Ladoga. In the year 1445, we will annex Rostov and Yaroslavl into Novgorod. We vassalized Tver, and we are looking to annex Rostov, Tver, and Yaroslavl in the far future. We upgrade our infrastructure. We accept the offer from Pskov to sell a section of our land. (Razor asked me to post this.)
 * Tver: We complete the construction of the private school in Tver and we start the new one. We upgrade our economy because of the trade established between Yaroslavl, Rostov, Muscovy and Novgorod. We upgrade our infrastructure.
 * Yaroslavl: We complete the construction of the private school in Yaroslavl and we start the new one. We upgrade our economy because of the trade established between Tver, Rostov, Muscovy and Novgorod. (Razor asked me to post this for him).
 * Rostov: We completed the construction of the private school in Rostov and start the new one. We upgrade our economy because of the trade established between Tver,Yaroslavl, Muscovy
 * Trier: We upgrade our military and economy. The states around us are influenced. Trade routes are established, opening trade among Hesse, Cologne, and Austria and her vassals. We dedicate this turn to infrastructure expansion, building several defenses, and roads to link towns across the nation. Fortifications around our capital are improved and updated.
 * Pskov uses its influence of Muscovy via dept to have it influence the Ukrainian states to the goal of vassalizing them. Hearing of a disease in India, all expeditions headed to Arabia are temporarily put on hold, and based on the relative little ammount of trade with that region, nothing much realy happens to the economy, The Pskov treasury bank continues to invest in places, give muscovy more loans, and other things...like help build the University, which is starting to get some international students. Pskov continues to do more books and more ships are built, upgrading the navy and therefore the military.

1471
'''Baoulé tribesmen acquire Oyo and Mali agricultural techniques. The population begins to boom, and soon a single tribe rises foremost amongst them.'''

'''I know exactly where this is going. But why do I even bother? ~Viva'''

'''A meeting occurs in the Hyrcanian Kingdom between most of the Zoroastrians of the realm. They approve proselytism and preaching, and the Zoroastrian faith in Hyrcania and Persia spreads very rapidly.'''

Both halves of Moundville begin to show signs of weariness against Cahokia and some disgruntled tribesman attack various Cahokia parties.

'''In the lands of the Tharawal, an unfit eel-farmer, tired of having to walk to the riverbank to collect his tuber roots, replants them near his hut (as opposed to replanting them where they naturally grow, as is the norm). His friends and neighbours are impressed with his clever idea. The tribal elders are all shocked by the news, partly because the concept is so unnatural and bizarre, but also partly because they are genuinely surprised that they never thought of it themselves.'''

'''The disease spreads like wildfire through infected areas with swaths of territory from West to East Europe, into West Africa and as far as India, China and Asia have had this infection. It debilitates many and in the more densely populated countries infects many more people. Notably infected countries are France, China, some of the urban parts of Oyo, the entirety of the Indian league, and urban areas of Austria, and Hungary and even somewhat into Prussia with more moderate infections in the less densely populated areas and countries.'''


 * Hamburg-Mecklenburg: The City of Hamburg's defensive walls, meant to hold up against a Norse siege, now serve a different purpose. Duke Friedrich, determined to stop the spread of the disease, closes the Port of Hamburg, and allows no ship of any national origin to enter or leave. Food and water are collected and stored. Cases of sick remain away from the capital, but in the warmer, southern cities like Brunswick and Hanover, the numbers begin to mount. In the Duchy of Hamburg, the five major cities (Hamburg, Lüneburg, Brunswick, Hanover, and Lauenburg) institute a policy of not allowing the sick, foreigners, and Jews (especially Jews) into the cities. Any person that becomes sick is to be evicted from the city in the name of public safety. Similar measures are put in place in the Duchy of Mecklenburg. The army and navy are mobilized. The navy blockades the ports, not allowing ships to leave, in the case they might be sneaking away with supplies. Soldiers are stationed at the city limits, enforcing the prohibiting of refugees. Magdeburg and Ruppin establish similar practices.
 * Guaymi:  Emperor Tiarokwete discovers that his informant on population size and army size has grossly misjudged the numbers, the Emperor has publically executed him for gross negligence.  This violent act does not bode well with most civilians, but seeing the importance of the error they move on and begin to love their ruler once more.  The army raised of roughly 750 infantry soldiers and 250 bow men from both Guaymi and Ngobe-Bugle is now the correct figures.  The central city, now holds a population of 4500 Guaymians with the total state population including the province, up to 15,000 citizens.  A celebration is held for the new informant, and the nation moves on.  After the fiasco, the country looks towards mining after a local fisherman discovered a small gold nugget in a river outside of Mununi.  The Emperor, impressed at the discovery now shifts labor forces from buliding roads to mining for gold. Those still left in the work force continue increasing the economy in the fishing and lumber industry.  Towards the turn of the year a town has sent a proposal to the Emperor to recognize their town with a population of 1000 and rapidly growing, to become the nation second state. The Emperor agrees and dubs the nations second city Siatum.
 * Ngobe-Bugle:  Another discovery was found in the nation as a local, working to clear trees for buildings and roads, finds a small multicolored frog on the tree before he and his partner attempt to cut it down.  The first logger stabs the frog in the head and eats it raw and dies a few minutes later.  Deducing that the frog was poisonous, the second logger reports to Chief Mushuni.  The logger proposes to utilize the poison of the animal to lace the heads of the arrows to kill enemies with initially non fatal shots.  The Chief, so amazed at the discovery makes a personal trip to the Emperor to deliver the news and the logger is given a raise and a new home.  With the new poison tip arrows, the Ngobians begin to hunt for the frogs to help enhance the army.  Roads reaching Guaymi have been established allowing for easier transportation for the nation-state.
 * Hesse: Controlling one of the most densely populated areas of Europe, the Grand Duke orders all trade to stop. Walls around cities are being shut to foreigners, all healthy are being moved into the cities where it is determined safe. Guards are placed around cities to maintain control of the populous. Both of our port cities close. Food and water are stocked for the cities. The country side and warmer areas become infected quickly, leading to many deaths. Bodies are buried in mass graves in small remote areas. Everything begins to be rinsed down with water for fear of the disease spreading. Medicinemen from around the country profit selling fake remedies and potions for cures or vaccines. The same goes for official doctors. Koln and Westfalen are forced to enact these same movements. The Royal Family, spread around the country, take immediate shelter in the major cities or castles or forts.
