A Brand New World (Map Game)

Basic Rules

 * Don't make your nation too overpowered
 * Turns begin at 00:00 UTC
 * Inactive nations can be invaded
 * There can be super-national confederations like the Holy Roman Empire, essentially acting like greater alliances
 * Don't edit past turns
 * New users can start in the game the turn they joined in
 * The game has no specific end date, the game will end when most users are inactive

Turns
Each nation has one turn per day, and each turn represents one year. There are no rules as to what you can write about, as long as it makes sense; don't make the unicorn gods from Mars help your Kyrgyz Empire take over the world. Make sure to always include the name of your nation, or everyone will have absolutely idea what you are talking about. Don't edit after you finish your turn. The changes to the map during the turns will be posted the day after

Joining
To join, all you have to do is submit a flag, name, and map of your nation; to make the map simply copy the map from above and paste it into whatever drawing software you use; then edit in and put the nation on it; Claus (me, the creator) will then edit the map you've saved and put it on the wiki and replace the map at the beginning of the page with the map including your nation. Then put your nation's name and your name in the list of nations. The nation can't be too large, and can have overseas colonies if the colonies are small. The game will start when five people join.

Expansion/Colonization
Keep in mind the ethnic and linguistic effects of colonization; the lands are inhabited. The distribution of ethnic groups of the world are the same as they are today, with the exception of the Americas, Oceania, and Siberia, where they are still populated by their native peoples. Speaking of which, Afro-Eurasian and American contact in this map game does exist. A healthy dose of rebellion should happen. Expansion takes time to do; don't just annex an entire continent in a single year. Keep it realistic.

You can make vassal and puppet states, although there are a few rules differentiating them from each other. Vassal states can only exist if they border the nation controlling them, and can be annexed into the state controlling them after a few years of existing. Puppet states can be separated from their father nation but overall are harder to fully annex. Unions are allowed; they are controlled by the users who controlled the multiple nations before they formed a union.

Wars
Civil wars should happen; especially if you are controlling a large, multi-ethnic empire or a succession crisis is happening if your nation is a monarchy. If a new nation does gain independence from a civil war or referendum, it will be an NPC nation until someone calls it as their own. (Everyone only control one nation, please)

There will be an algorithm for this game, but that will be made when the game starts. It covers the wars more in-depth in order to find which nation would be more successful in war.

Mods
Moderators are the players who control the game, essentially; to become a moderator a player must show that they would make a good moderator, not being aggressive, being a calm player, must be relatively active. Mods can also other people to gain their position; if the moderators give a two-thirds vote, that person becomes a mod. The moderators can control the following:
 * Banning users
 * Promoting users
 * Controlling NPC nations
 * Reverting implausible moves or godmodding
 * Cause revolts and natural disasters

Technology
Technology starts at an OTL 13th century level. Player nations can improve the technology to higher levels but only if they have the resources in their controlled regions to do so.

Foreign Affairs
Nations can request alliances with other nations if they wish; the player controls their country's government. Foreign affairs must be dealt with carefully and plausibly; don't declare war with an ally for absolutely no reason besides expansion.

Year 6

 * Hellenistic Kingdom: We push our colonies in Africa farther south, starting minor wars with the African tribes in the region, though they all are easy Greek victories. We also request a trading pact with Sayfustan as most of the tensions have been relieved, and we encourage the Saharan Kingdom to lift their trade barriers. We establish minor outposts in the Gulf of Guinea in hopes of simplifying the journey across the Cape of Good Horn, in order to reach Kagaminia and Sayfustani Africa. Noticing the colonization done by other powers such as Wales and Carthage, we establish a colony in Crimea. We place sanctions on Turkey, as, we would like to see Cyprus under either Jewish or Greek control.
 * Why are you randomly putting sanctions on me i am secretly helping them.
 * Saharan Kingdom: We withdraw our troops from Sayfustan and Israel. We also start a colony in the southern areas of modern-day Nigeria and Cameroon, specializing in the creation of strong boat technology with regular imports of wood heading there. We encourage parts of the population to move to the colony and teach the natives the Berber language. We request an armistice with Israel in order to put a cease to the Middle Eastern conflict. We deny the idea of a land trade between Sayfustan and Israel, though; preferring to see the entire area under Islamic control. We place embargoes on Israel, not wanting them to gain Saharan resources.
 * Turkish caliphate: We begin to improve our army and navy making it mandatory for men 17-35 to do 7 years military service and begin to begin to work on Istanbul working on creating 3 big walls with Motes behind each wall. We put all of troops on standby in case an invasion happen. We begin to expand our empire moving Iraq, Arabia,Egypt,Sudan,Bulgaria,Romania,Odessa,Georgia,Armenia,Northern Persia,and Eastern Anatolia allying with most tribes but also fighting some. We begin to militarize our border with the kingdom of Israel and place embargoes them. We secretly begin to helpTurkish Cypriot rebels sending them weapons,armor, and traing. We begin to bulid a huge wall around the kingdom of israel on both sides.

Year 5

 * Hellenistic Kingdom: We ask Israel and Sayfustan if they could do a land trade; with the Jewish homeland being unified in exchange for weapons enabling Sayfustan to gain more dominance in Arabia and the Sudan. We encourage our troops in the Middle East to leave, but allowing them to stay if they really want to. Minor rebellions occur in Kosovo and southern Albania though they are mostly quenched easily. We also begin to teach the Greek language to the ethnic Arabs and Berbers residing in the Hellenistic African colony, and encourage expansion if we can expand without war, but instead assimilating the natives into our culture. We also divide the country into provinces:
 * Macedonia- All of Greek Macedonia
 * Peloponnese- The Peloponnese peninsula
 * Aegyptus- Greek Egypt
 * Berberia- Greek Libya
 * Crete- Crete
 * Epirus- Northern Greece and southern Albania
 * Kosovo- Greek Kosovo
 * Saharan Kingdom: We accept the alliance with Sayfustan, and send some weapons technology there. Our monarch Tertullian I attempts to delve Saharan involvement in the war further; hoping to "raise the flag of Islam in the Jewish territories". We place great sanctions on Israel, only lifting them once the war ends or Israel agrees to withdraw from the nation. We also make minor advancements in eastern Mauritania and the Tuareg lands. We send troops to the cities in which Israel has attacked in hopes of putting up a resistance, hoping to make Israel flee. Continued trade occurs with Kagaminia though the river route is very troublesome; the Kingdom might have to withdraw and take the hazardous journey around the Cape of Good Hope.
 * Kingdom of Israel: We agree to the Hellenistic Kingdom's idea of a land trade and we cease fire for the moment but without exiting attacked cities in case a attack from the Saharan Kingdom and we hope to make a peace agreement, we will give our northern province, bordered by the Turkish Caliphate to the south and to Sayfustan to the east, money & gold, and weapons in exchange for the region of Palestine/Holy Land and we will help to rebuild the damage we have made with this war and we could possibly make a trade agreement. Jews and Muslims throughout the kingdom promote this idea for unity in the Middle East as we have a common background in culture and religion and Some Hellenists and Turkish Cypriot rebels rise up in Cyrus but they are easily extinguished. We continue teaching the Hebrew language to Cypriots in Cyprus and because of trade with the Hellenistic Kingdom, Cyprus as begin to become a major trade center in Israel. We also continue to expand in East Africa but cease expansion in south-eastern Arabic as our northern province may be possibly be given away to Sayfustan.
 * Sayfustan: We agree to sell Half of Jerusalem, selling Kingdom of Israel the half without Al-Aqsa mosque. We will sell it to them more than the average price expected, which will be used to upgrade our economy. We will also upgrade our military technology
 * Israel diplomat: Okay, we will begin to relocate troops out of Sayfustan territory in the next year (turn) and we will pay the price for the half of Jerusalem. I have one question, what is the price you ask for?
 * Turkish caliphate: We begin to improve our army and navy making it mandatory for men 17-35 to do 7 years military service and begin to egin to work on Istanbul working on creating 3 big walls with Motes behind each wall after taking it 7 years ago. We put all of troops on standby in case an invasion happen. We begin to expand our empire moving into the middle east entering Iraq, Arabia, Syria,Jordan,Egypt,and Eastern Anatolia allying with most tribes but also fighting some. We begin to militarize our border with the kingdom of Israel. We secretly begin to helpTurkish Cypriot rebels sending them weapons,armor, and traing.
 * The Great Welsh Empire and her 9 provinces: The Great Welsh Empire creates 2 more provinces: Talaith y Dans (Province of the Dans) and Talaith Norwy (Province of Norway). We continue the colonisation of Norway and Denmark. We have conquered most of Denmark by now and a bit of coastal Norway, it is hard to conquer Norway due to mountains. We build our naval presence in the North Sea. We begin colonisation of Holland and Belguim, conquering the coastal areas. This area does have a border to France so we put more military presence there. We build our navy and army. We build our military, infastucture and economy. We build roads across the British isle. We put more military in Normandy. We continue to teach Welsh culture in Ireland and our lands in the North Sea. We continue to trade with the Carthage Republic. We kill any other diplomats that come from any other country. We would like a non aggressive pact with France.

Year 4

 * Hellenistic Kingdom:  We accept the alliance with Kagaminia, but find trading with them hard as Greek traders must either travel through the somewhat dangerous Sinai (due to the warfare between Jewish and Muslim armies). We also try to create a neutral stance in the war, trying to keep the peace in the Middle East. We also begin researching Israeli weapons such as hand cannons and landmines in hopes of creating a stronger military. The King tries to remove any form of laws with religious bias in hopes of creating a state friendly to all people.
 * As i told Israel before the Europeans and Arabs (first Mamluks) obtained firearms in the 14th century.
 * Sayfustan: As Jerusalem is under siege, and the hostility received from Kingdom of Israel and Republic of Carthage, tensions rise in our capital, Makkah, and Medina. Protests begin in our city to attack, so we take an advantage and settle down the crowds and spread propaganda to join the army, thus causing large entry numbers in our army. We also work on our weaponry and stronger walls and ask help from Turkish Caliphate and Kingdom of Sahara.
 * American Empire: Economy, infrastructure and military improve. Population continues to grow fast. Fewer churches, harbors, militaristic buildings and more houses, cultural and public buildings, markets, shops and mining plants are built. Continues to plan new reforms and continues investing heavily in technology and science. Roads and farms are improved and cities continue to grow. Building of a Gothic-style large cathedral in the capital city Washington continues. Expends 1000px south and 1000 west, totaling 2000 px. Continues reaching on Canons, which will replace Catapults and Trebuchets as main siege units.
 * Kingdom of Israel:  As we continue our siege for  the lands of Palestine, in between our to territories and enclose in, aiming for the cities of Jerusalem, Bethlehem, Hebron, Nazereth, Ashdod, and Beersheba, from our West Sinai province and our Northern Eastern province. we gratefuly use the funds of our ally, to further our military technology we create trebuchet catapults and rockets begin to breech the walls and forts in the city and in the few openings we make, we send in troops and cavalry armed swordsmen and crossbow archers on horses and we start on to take the city with high morale because knowing soon in time, we'll get our lands back. We spend propaganda across the nations, promoting men to join the army, which causes our army to increase significantly.We send dozens of rockets and trebuchets to Bethlehem, Hebron, Nazereth, Ashdod, and Beersheba to destroy the cities and send in swordsmen, cavalry and crossbow archers. archers in and we continue to take these cities. Also we send fleets from Cyprus and the coast of Sinai to destroy any enemy boats and we drop off some soliders in Palestinian region. We build fortifications on our our Northern and Sinai province and put troops, rockets, and archers to keep guard. We also continue to progressively expand in south-eastern Arabia and in the East African coast below Sinai. As tensions between Jewish and Muslim groups in Israel rise, mainly because the government is Jewish while Muslims outnumber the Jews, protests rise in some cities and we have begin to settle down the rallys and Muslims are begin slowly sent off to nearby Muslim communities or countries. In response to Caliph Selam Sayyid Sabahattin's letter, Israel's king, King Emmanual ben Tsediqyahu has sent a letter back to the Caliph of the Turkish Caliphate. 
 * Dear Caliph Selman Sayyid Sabahattin of the Great Turkish Caliphate,


 * On the contrary to what you have said, we would rather see the Holy Land under Jewish rule than any other, as Moses was made to lead the Children of Israel to the Promised Land. But if Sayfustan allows us a significant portion of Palestine including Jerusalem, capital of ancient Kingdom of Israel made by King David who the united monarchy was established by, not a minuscule allotment, we will call off the war and pay for the damage we caused by the war but until then, we will fight for the lands.


 * Kingdom of Kagaminia: We ask for alliance with Franco-Navarran Crown. We will not attack anyone because of our peaceful nation except if someone attacks us first. We seek the land near the bottom south of Africa but will wait until it is really needed. We are build boats to sail to the near Island of Asia.
 * King Emmanual ben Tsediqyahu of Israel

Year 3
Talaith Iwerddon (Province of England) Capital: London. Second language: English
 * Franco-Navarran Crown: King Philip the Younger dies without issue, leaving his brother, Clovis V & I to take the joint thrones of France and Navarre. His first royal edict is to establish a semi-professional force of crossbowmen. Using funds borrowed from jewish merchants, and from trade, Clovis raises the first retinue of crossbowmen in the realm, with the plan of having 10 000 constant Crossbowmen in the Gendarmerie Royale, which will also include up to 1000 cavalry and 4000 infantry. The Edict also orders the Dukes of the realm to hold at least 1000 Crossbowmen, 100 cavalry, and 400 infantry as a semi-professional rotating fighting force, and each Count to hold 100, 10, and 40 respectively by year 15 ATP (Ascension Throne Philip). IN order to pay for thje new Gendarmerie Royale, Philip institutes a small tax of 5% on non-peer landowners (in order to avoid war with Wales for the time being). However, being Duke of Normandy, the Welsh King is given a summons to swear fealty to Clovis V & I as Duke of Normandy and take part in the official corronation as a peer of the realm. IN order to prepare his 20 year old son, Charles, now Dauphin, to be the next King, Clovis sends him as an ambassador to discuss trade with Israel, after which they come to an agreement and some tariffs are mutualy lowered for merchants bearing the seals of France, Navarre, or Israel.
 * Hellenistic Kingdom:  We assure to the Middle Eastern nations that we don't want any involvement in the war besides the Christian and Jewish volunteers who were sent off to the nation in order to fight for Israel. Meanwhile we allow volunteer troops in the nation's Islamic minority to go off to Turkey and Sayfustan in hopes of relieving the tensions between them and the nations. We also colonize Malta and begins teaching the Maltese and Berber civilians from our colonies the Greek language in order to further assimilate them with the culture. We encourage the Saharan Kingdom to lift the sanctions and to continue regular trade. The King states that he wants to stay out of the conflicts in Israel for the most part; only sending troops who want to go to the area there. He refuses to send any of our non-volunteer troops to the Middle East.
 * The Great Welsh Empire and her Severn provinces: The Great Welsh Empire is divided into 7 provinces, which have got there own capital (where the province leader lives) and there 2nd language. The province leader is responsibe for there province but has to obey orders from the king. All of the province leaders are all the 2nd most important in the Welsh Empire but the king remains the 1st. The Severn provinces are:

In other news we have conquered Ireland and have made it a province. We build our navy. '''We know turn our attention to the North Sea, sailing across it. We discover what we call Denmark and Norway. We begin colonisation of the lands, capturing the Coast. '''We continue to trade with the Carthage Republic. We build our army. We build many forts in Ireland, so it would be hard for them to rebel. We begin building a huge port and fort in Newport in the South Welsh Islands. This means that is hard for enemies to conquer there lands. We build our military presences in Normandy. We teach Ireland Welsh and Welsh culture.

Begins reaching on Canons, which will replace Catapults and Trebuchets as main siege units.


 * Saharan Kingdom:  We accept the Hellenic diplomats and lift the sanctions, although a general attitude of distrust is shown towards the nation in the kingdom. We also try to find a trade route to Kagaminia. Saharan sailors travel across the Mediterranean and to the Nile and White Nile, and to Lake Victoria where explorers establish Saharan-owned outposts in modern-day Uganda and Tanzania. We also discover modern-day Cape Verde and create colonies there.
 * Kingdom of Israel: As we continue our siege for only the lands of Palestine, in between our to territories and enclose in, aiming for the cities of Jerusalem, Bethlehem, Hebron, Nazereth, Ashdod, and Beersheba, from our West Sinai province and our Northern Eastern province. we gratefuly use the funds of our ally, to further our military technology we create trebuchet catapults and larger cannons and we 55 trebuchets and a 15 cannons up to the lands of Jerusalem and begin to breech the walls and forts in the city and in the few openings we make, we send in troops and cavalry armed with hand-cannons and crossbow archers on horses and we start on to take the city with high morale because knowing soon in time, we'll get our lands back. We send a few cannons and trebuchets to Bethlehem, Hebron, Nazereth, Ashdod, and Beersheba to destroy the cities and send in armed soliders, cavalry and archers in and we continue to take these cities. Also we send fleets from Cyprus and the coast of Sinai to destroy any enemy boats and we drop off some soliders in Palestinian region. We build fortifications on our our Northern and Sinai province and put troops, cannons, and archers to keep guard. We send diplomats and offer trade agreements to the Great Welsh Kingdom and the Franco-Navarran Crown to improve relations and some the Turkish Caliphate saying, we have no interest in your lands. We also continue to progressively expand in south-eastern Arabia and in the East African coast below Sinai.

We also Know that you're only aiming for the holy lands and not turkish land,but we would rather like to see the holy land under Muslim rule than any other. We would also like to point out that israel has a small jewish minority and a huge Muslim majority.
 * Caliph Selman Seyyid Sabahattin

Year 2

 * Hellenistic Kingdom:  We send diplomats to Cyprus in order to see what the population thinks of joining the country; some Hellenist separatists are found but overall the results are somewhat inconclusive. The Kingdom requests an alliance with Israel, but only if they can build port cities on the Cypriot coast. Some volunteer troops are sent to the Palestinian region as a majority of the mostly Christian kingdom would like to see the Jewish people regain the lands of ancient Israel. We send diplomats to Sayfustan in order to assure to them that we don't want to destroy the nation nor do we want to cut off ties with them; we simply sent some troops to Israel who were perfectly willing and wanted to go there.
 * Kingdom of Israel: We accept the Hellenistic Kingdom's offer of an alliance and we start to build port cities on the Cypriot coast. We press volunteer military service of men 20 and upward and we have recruited 1,500 more men to serve in the military and improve our military technology. We start to fortify the lands of Sinai and our northern territory and set landmines near our walls. We start to send 40,000 troops armed with hand cannons into the Palestinian region to help the HK's volunteer soliders to take over the lands of ancient Israel. We send in rockets and set up landmines and we declare holy war on Islamic Republic of Sayfustan to take back the Holy Lands of Israel. Also we start expanding north from our northern territory into south-eastern Arabia.
 * I am 100 percentsure this is the era of swords and bows not guns. Bozistan ball
 * yeah, the tech starts at a 13th century level, rockets and landmines definitely wont exist this early in the game
 * Rockets were invented in China in the 12th century, 1100 AD by the use of gunpowder and hand cannons were used in Yuan Dynasty in the 13th century and landmines were used in the Song Dynasty in 1277, it was an enourmous bomb used to kill Mongol soliders, are those weapons still not allowed?
 * The Europeans and Arabs (first Mamluks) obtained firearms in the 14th century.
 * Can/Do I edit my turn since I used invalid weapons?
 * yeah, and I guess you could still use rockets and cannons because china
 * Republic of Carthage: We continue to rapidly improve our infrastructure within the city of Carthage, aiming to make it one of the greatest cities in the world. We accept the Welsh Kingdom's offer to trade with us, and we offer to trade with the Saharan Kingdom. In response to Israel's war with Sayfustan, we economically support their war by significantly increasing trade with the kingdom. We send colonists to OTL Sardinia in order to found the settlement of Lavisis, named after our current Grand Consul. Lavisis is initially made into a trade port in order to increase trade in the Mediterranean, but after a few months it becomes a successful village.
 * Kingdom of Kagaminia: We start to improve our infrastructure, especially in our capital and we have begun to establish a trade port on our Malagasy coast. We offer a trade agreement with the Republic of Carthage and the Saharan Kingdom. We also improve our military technology and we recruit more solider. We asks for an alliance with the Republic of Carthage and the Kingdom of Israel and we send diplomats to the Welsh Kingdom, Turkish Caliphate, and the Islamic Republic of Sayfustand to improve our relations.
 * Turkish caliphate dip: We greet you're diplomat giving them huge fest with our caliph Selman Seyyid Sabahattin and would like an alliance with Kingdom of Kagaminia.
 * Kingdom of Kagaminia dip: We accept Turkish Caliphate's request for alliance.
 * Carthaginian Diplomacy: We agree to the offer of trade and the alliance.
 * Saharan dip: We accept the alliances with Kagaminia and Carthage.
 * Israelite Dip: Our response to your request of alliance is peding due to the fact you are now allied to the Turkish Caliphate and the Turkish Caliphate is allied to my enemy in my current war but we can accept a trade agreement.....
 * Saharan Kingdom: In response to the Hellenic Kingdom and Israel's actions, some volunteers are sent to Israel and Sayfustan to fight on both sides. Most of the population generally support Sayfustan due to the prevalence of Islam in the region; and minor sanctions are placed on the HK. The Saharan Kingdom tells the Hellenistic Kingdom to withdraw their volunteers from Israel or they would send a greater amount of soldiers, including ones that didn't necessarily volunteer, to the region in order to counteract the Israeli and Greek operations in the region. The Kingdom also requests an alliance with Sayfustan. Meanwhile, massive construction starts on the capital city of Rabat in hopes to further industrialize the nation and become a power in the African and Mediterranean worlds.
 * Turkish caliphate: We would like an alliance with Saharan Kingdom and send 10,000 troops out of 50,000 and100 cannons to fight with the Sayfustan.We begin to improve our army and navy making it mandatory for men 17-35 to do 7 years military service and begin to egin to work on Istanbul working on creating 3 big walls with Motes behind each wall after taking it 5 years ago. We put all of troops on standby in case an invasion happen. We begin to expand our empire moving into the middle east entering Iraq, Arabia, Syria,Jordan,Egypt,Part of Persia,and Eastern Anatolia allying with most tribes but also fighting some.
 * Saharan dip: We accept the alliance and situate some troops on the Israeli-Turkish borders in order to help defend against attacks.
 * Sayfustan: We accept the alliance with Saharan Kingdom, and we accept the diplomats of the Hellenistic Kingdom. We begin to work on walls armed with canons and few rockets surrounding the city limits of Makka, Madina, and Jerusalem. We work on our military as well, with a goal to reach 100,000 soldiers by ten years. We also will not attack anyone except if necessary. We begin to spread propaganda about joining the Sayfustani Military in case of any attack

Year 1

 * The Hellenistic Kingdom expands their Cyrenaican colony slightly southward and westward in hopes of gaining an advantage over the Mediterranean trade route. The Kingdom also requests an alliance with Carthage hoping to create an axis in the sea. Some rebellions and riots do occur in Cyrenaica in hopes of creating an independent state, however the kingdom is able to quell these riots easily. King Gemistus states, later in the year, that he doesn't want to make a large Hellenistic Empire; instead he simply wants the kingdom to survive.
 * Republic of Carthage: We begin to significantly improve our infrastructure, aiming to make the city of Carthage one of the greatest cities in the world. We agree to the alliance with the Hellenistic Kingdom, and we offer an alliance to Israel. A general election is held this year, and Populist candidate Mago Lavis is elected the new Grand Consul of Carthage.
 * Kingdom of Israel: We agree to alliance with the Republic of Carthage. We begin to improve our infrastructure and military, aiming to build up the temporary capital in Sinai and we are preparing for an invasion in Islamic Republic of Sayfustan just to gain and unite the rest of the lands of ancient Israel such as Jerusalem, were our capital will be moved to, Bethlehem, Hebron, Jericho, and Nazereth. We have no interest in becoming a masive empire or completely removing Sayfustan from the map. Rumors in the Cyprus colony that Greek Cyproit and Hellenists are thinking of joining the Hellenistic Kingdom but nothing has been confirmed.
 * Turkish Caliphate dip: We tell the Kingdom of Israel to stop preparing for an invasion in Islamic Republic of Sayfustan and the Holy Lands.
 * Islamic Republic of Sayfustan: Fearing an attack from Kingdom of Israel, We begin to work on a wall blocking us from them. We also work on our weapon technology and our army. We ask Turkish Caliphate for an alliance.
 * Turkish Caliphate: We agree with the Sayfustan alliance. We begin to improve our army and navy making it mandatory for men 17-35 to do 7 years military service and begin to horse back riding,and traing troops on shooting bows while riding horses. We begin to work on Istanbul working on creating 3 big walls with Motes behind each wall after taking it 5 years ago. We put all of troops on standby in case an invasion happen. We begin to expand our empire moving into the middle east entering Syria,Jordan,Egypt,and Eastern Anatolia allying with most tribes but also fighting some.
 * The Great Welsh Empire: Golden Dragon of Wales Flag.gif We begin an expansion into Ireland, hoping of conquering it by Year 3. We land in 3 major places: Southern Ireland from Wales, Dublin from Isle of Man and Northern Ireland from Scotland. We countinue to have a strong presence in Normandy, we countinue to teach the natives Welsh. Most people throughout the empire speak good Welsh as a first language, and maybe there native ones where they live. We begin to reach contact with a Carthage Republic, we would like a trade agreement with them if possible. We build houses. We build sraight roads throughout the empire. We build our military and our infrastructure. We build our armies and navy.
