Colonisation Map Game

=Rules= These are paramount to the game!
 * The map of the Americas begins as blank.
 * Each user will represent a separate nation, colonising the New World. You can be any country within reason (i.e. not the Arabians because they are nowhere near.)
 * Please be sensible. If your colonial empire gets too big too quickly, then your colonies shall be removed. Prior to 1700, they will simply be wiped off the map. After 1700, the colonies get independence and lose some territory to the natives. Same if you get idiotic and start building spaceships in 1700.
 * Each user takes a turn for their nation. Each turn is one season. e.g. Britain begins settling Newfoundland in spring of 1600, France begins settling Acadia in 1501 etc. etc. etc.
 * You can declare independence if you want to make the USA but you aren't allowed to take your turn for four years to represent the struggle.
 * There is a save name convention. Take the year, the season (can be abbreviated), and put colonis on the end. e.g. File:1600summcolonis.png
 * Do try to write more than just France takes over this, Russia takes over that. Put some flavour in like alliances and stuff.
 * Have fun!

=Let the Game begin=

Summer



 * Great Britain begins settling Delaware. The majority population are Highland Scots. Great Britain is concentrating on national unity and is using the glory of their new colonies to demonstrate the brilliance of uniting England and Scotland.
 * Pomerania establishes a few colonys.
 * New Pomerania-South Carolina
 * Waldfläche-Cape Cod
 * Britain establishes a colony on the island of Cuba
 * Venice Established Çità Grimani in OTL New Jersey
 * France settles on Newfoundland
 * Denamrk colonizes Nova Scotia and Greenland. tehy also invent a four-crop rotation, which greatly increases their population growth, allowing them to colonize faster.
 * Spain colonizes OTL Urabá gulf on OTL Colombia, calling it "Nueva Granada".
 * Prussia founds the city of Neu Königsberg in the colony of Neu Prussia (OTL New York)
 * Prussia also settles the colony of Albertsland in OTL Georgia.
 * The Danish establish a colony in louisanna, on the site of OTL new orleans

Fall

 * the French Colony in Newfoundland is wiped out by an indian raid. the Danes build a colony in the ruins, and reinforce them with a garrison of soldiers. the Danes adopt the old roman practice of using their soldiers as a labor force when their not fighting, and they build several fortresses.
 * The Prussian colonies of New Prussia and Albertsland expand. Albertsland makes contact with the nearby Pomeranian colony of New Pomerania.
 * Nueva Granada expands to include OTL Antioquia and Chocó.
 * The Danish colonies begin sending furs back to Denmark, which are extremely profitable and popular among the nobility. soon, thousands of Danes are traveling to the new World to hunt for furs, or to farm in Louisanna, because the government is giving free land grants.
 * The Danish Nay establishes several bases on Hispaniola, and begin to build new ships with topsail-schooner rigs.
 * The French demand that the Danes give the French claimed land of Newfoundland back to them. Meanwhile a new colony is created on the coast of OTL Labrador.
 * The Danes refuse the french's demand, and begin blockading the new French colony with their several of their new topsail schooner, forcing the French colonists to leave.
 * The French government sees this as an act of war and threaten the mainland Denmark to war if they refuse to stop. A new colony is made on OTL Rhode Island, it is sent with naval ships and a large amount of settlers as well as a contingent of soldiers.
 * The Danes agree not to interfere with this colony. they merely wanted the French to stay out of their sphere of influence.
 * While Spain continues expanding it's colony, absorbing OTL Colombia and Venezuela, a convoy is sent to the French-Dane seas to prevent any war.
 * The Danes expand their colony on Nova Scotia and Newfoundland. their soldiers build road systems that stretch across Nova Scotia, and a permanent naval base is established there. the Danes also build a colony in the Hudson Bay, and their Louisanna colonies expand up the mississippi.
 * Italians colonize Venezuela meaning New Venezia.

Winter

 * despite the unusually hard winter, most of the Danish colonists survive. they also manage to gather many more furs, and another colony fleet arrives in Nova Scotia. this increases Danish population by a third.
 * The French, not to be made fools of, blockade Danish ports, this, in turn with the harsher northern winters forces the Danish to leave. Meanwhile France sends more provisions and ships to it's colony on Rhode Island. France also formally declares the territory of Newfoundland THEIRS and that any attempts to reclaim it would result in open confrontation.
 * A Danish schooner destroys the entire blockading french fleet, taking advantage of it's greater number of guns and manuverability. it then moves in close to the French colonists town, and fires several broadsides into the French graneries, sentencing the entire French colony to death. meanwhile, Nova Scotia has gained several more immigrant ships, and it's graineries are full to bursting
 * The Spanish fleet goes to the Danish territories and menaces them with full-out war if they don't re-pay the French and give them their colonies back.
 * The Danes request that they be allowed to keep Nova Scotia and Newfoundland, but they offer to pay France reparation, and provide food and other supplies for future French colonists.
