Congress of Vienna (Map Game)

This is me, Laptop Zombie. I open this map game, which aims to find an idea of what will go on in my new timeline.

'''Note: Timeline version created at Map Game Congress Of Vienna. Thank you.'''

The Rules

 * 1) I will start the game a bit differently.
 * 2) The game will start on Dec. 23, or year 1816.
 * 3) One OTL Day will be a year and one turn.
 * 4) Turns start at 10 a.m. UTC every day, anybody can start the turn, not just a mod.
 * 5) One nation per user.
 * 6) Archive every 15 years.
 * 7) No nukes before 1910, no space before 1930. Random.org on who gets them first.
 * 8) There won't be any UN until I delete this rule.
 * 9) After 1830 playground becomes the World. Only European countries, Morocco, the US, Japan (after 1868) and China (after 1868) are playable.
 * 10) You can be an occupied nation and declare independence.
 * 11) Random.org will decide who gets nukes first.
 * 12) Every nation will be assigned a number for Random.org.

1831
Game is now restarted.
 * Belgium: Voyage southwards in the Atlantic to reach Africa and find some colonies.
 * Piedmont-Sardinia: Colonists are sent to Madagascar, the Solomon Islands and OTL Darwin. Military expands, and King Charles Felix passes away and is succeeded by King Victor Emmanuel II. An offer is made to the Papal States that Piedmont-Sardinia will fund the relocation of any colonists in the Horn of Africa, as the Papal State leaves the Horn to Piedmont-Sardinia. The Maori tribes are granted some autonomy.
 * Even Britain could not establish colonies in Madagascar, the Solomons and Northern Australia at the same time. Especially not with an infant colony in New Zealand and the Horn of Africa.
 * Russian Empire: The Tsar announces the expansion of the Imperial Navy, including the building of many more ships for exploration and war on the East Coast and Alaska. Many exploration ships are to be sent farther south down the Pacific Ocean, and colonize any part of America not yet colonized.
 * Bavaria: By November, the Museum of Human and Natural History in Munich is finished, and opened in a grand ceremony. Intellectuals and commoners alike travel from across the kingdom to view the curiosities brought back from the Pacific, and the museum's curators begin scouring the country for items they deem to be of historical worth. King Ludwig decides that there should be a military/scientific body specifically made for overseas expeditions of exploration and knowledge. Therefore, Ludwig creates the Royal Expeditionary Force, which is effectively a navy with a mainly scientific viewpoint. He orders three large sloops be built in Maxhaven for the use of the REF, and orders officers and sailors be found for the ships. He places its command under the Captain of the Pacific Expedition, and names him Commodore of the REF. Plans for another expedition for next year are drawn up, this time to the frozen continent of Antarctica. The Army is built up a bit, and talks begin with other SGAS members on an economic union.
 * Greece, upon sending ships towards Africa, decide to settle in OTL Luanda. A small colony is founded.
 * Spain: Spain further industrialises and modernizes its cities and reaches 25% of urbanization and industrialization. Gives Prussia the airship technology in exchange for a strong military alliance.  Asks if Spain can join the Mediterranean. The navy is expanded and modernized for its next invasion against South America.  The Pacific Fleet lands in Spain and the objects discovered were sent to the National Science Academy, where they were sorted out. Researches were made for the first pasteurization. Potato chips are now sold in many shops. Asks to exchange embassies with all European countries. Makes a colony in Madagascar and prepares to settle in all parts of America that hasn't been settled yet. Gives the Maori tribes in New Zealand some autonomy, but unfair trials and persecutions were held in New Zealand to weaken the Maori tribes. An expeditionary force was also created, similar to Bavaria's. Another expedition is drawn up to Antarctica also, in the intention of not losing to Bavaria in the exploration part.
 * Piedmont-Sardinia: You shall be added to the Mediterranean Railway.
 * Prussia: Builds up the Army and the Navy. Industrialises and urbanizes its country. Gives Russia the airship designs. The government develops the first telegraph. Sends a large fleet to the Pacific like Bavaria and Spain. Embraces a military plan similar to Spain's and builds the first air force. Asks for a trade agreement with Bavaria.
 * Papal States: The Piedmont offer is accepted and so the Papal East Africa Company is renamed to the Papal East Indies Company, relocating the colonials to Indochina (Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia). The plan proposes the natives of the region to be easily dealt with because of the modern fleet of the Papal States and the Sinai Corps and the Mercenaries Corps. Almost all of Vietnam will be occupied, and the colonials will expand. The company tries to establish trade relations with China, with no success. The Parliament announces an increase of funding to construction of new industries. Recruitment starts over the Holy Land and Central Italy.
 * ​Is this Map Game still open for joining?
 * ​All map games are open for joining, at least that I know of.
 * Yeah, just sign next to an un-taken nation.
 * Thanks.
 * USA: President Andrew Jackson announces the expansion of the U.S. Navy and the formation of the U.S. Asiatic Fleet. In the meantime, U.S. industry is built up and the so-called U.S. Naval Exploration Squadron (like Bavaria's) is formed.

1832
Proposed more likely map in the talk page.
 * Bavaria: The Prussian offer of a trade agreement is accepted. Details for a Southern German Economic Zone continue to be hammered out by the diplomats in the South German Alliance Congress. Two ships of the Royal Expeditionary Force depart Maxhaven for Antarctica, and after some months sailing, sight OTL Queen Maud Land. The explorers land on the coast, and name it King Ludwig I Land. After some time ashore, studying the penguins and seals, the ship continues along the coast, mapping as it goes.
 * Piedmont-Sardinia: Algerian, Somalian and Australian colonies expand. Industrialization continues, and balloon production continues. Offers to grant Bavaria scientific outposts all Piedmontese colonies, and offers an alliance. Navy increases, and offers a trade agreement to Greece. Soldiers are sent to all colonies as a basic defense, and expeditionary forces are sent and make contact with the Igbo people.
 * Bavarian D: The Secretary for Exploration, Antiquities and Science thanks the Piedmontese for their very generous offer, and says that the Bavarian scientists will arrive next year. The King, after much discussion with his Cabinet, agrees to the alliance, and will send an Ambassador Extraordinaire early next year to sign the documentation.
 * Russian Empire: The 100,000 soldiers trained in desert combat are immediately signed to the Army Post in Novosibirsk, though reinforcements take a while, due to the distance of the city from Moscow. This helps advocate the development of the European Railway, which eastern terminus will be Novosibirsk. This will help with the planned expansion of the Empire into Central Asia. New massive shipyards are being expanded on the Pacific Coast and Alaska, to allow for larger fleets in the Imperial Navy to master the Pacific Ocean. Captain Lt. Alexander Balakirev, war hero of the Ottoman War, is selected as Commander of the American Expedition, and named to command the fleet of ships which will place Russian forts of the West Coast of North America.
 * Belgium: Settles in OTL Angola. Proposes a European Congress where European nations help others colonize the rest of the world.
 * Russian Diplomacy: Offers to join the European Congress for Colonization.
 * Bavarian Diplomacy: Although skeptical of how the congress would work (seeing as nations compete for colonies), the Bavarians hope the congress could be useful for establishing spheres of influence, thereby hopefully preventing unnecessary wars over colonies. So Bavaria asks to be an observer at the Congress.
 * Papal States D: We agree with the idea and request to join.
 * Piedmont-Sardinia D: We shall be there.
 * Belgium D: Our idea is that the world is wide enough for all of us. It's just that we don't want Europeans to fight each other.
 * Greece expands its colony in Luanda, and also tells Belgium to remove itself from Angola or there will be WAR. Greece also founds a colony in OTL Accra.
 * Belgium D: Leaves Angola and settles at OTL Namibia. The colony is called "The Southern Land".
 * Just for the record, Angola is Portuguese. 
 * When did the Portuguese settle in Angola in OTL? I thought after 1835. Regards, Laptop Zombie 14:32, February 14, 2013 (UTC)
 * 1575 was when they built their first settlement there, and they continued to be there until 1975. Callumthered (talk) 00:15, February 15, 2013 (UTC)
 * ​Papal States: The Colonials reach the Indochina coast and start colonizing. In the Holy Land the Papal forces discover a plant that could be sold and produced in Indochina, Opium poppy. Some of that plant is already being sent to Indochina and others to try to start trading with China. The government plans to make Christians a majority in the Holy Land and so sends most of the Muslims to colonize the Ivory Coast, together with some troops. The Papal Center of Science sends most of the scientists to catalog plants and animals in Indochina that may be unknown.
 * Austria: Austria asks Prussia if Union as the German Empire would be acceptable, with Prussia's player being that nation's player.
 * Prussia D: Agrees with the Union.
 * USA: The Navy is built up. The Army begins to push westward into Native American territory. (Do I use the algorithm here?)
 * US D: We would like to warn Russia that attempting any additional colonization in the Americas will force us to go to war with you due to our Monroe Doctrine.
 * Spain: Spain further industrialises and modernizes its cities and reaches 28% of urbanization and industrialization. The navy is expanded and modernized for its next invasion against South America. The next Fleet to Antarctica lands in OTL Halley and names it New Pyrenees, because it is so cold. The scientists study penguins and seals and maps the coastlines of Antarctica too. The first pasteurization is invented, making milk much safer. Study is now undergoing an advanced gun. Asks if Spanish scientists can study in the colonies of Papal States, France and Portugal (RNG). Potato chips are now sold in many shops. Asks to exchange embassies with all European countries. Makes a colony in Madagascar. Gives the Maori tribes in New Zealand some autonomy, but unfair trials and persecutions were held in New Zealand to weaken the Maori tribes. Mass-scale European-Maori marriages begin. Prepares to settle in Northern Australia. An expeditionary force was also created, similar to Bavaria's. Ships in the Philippines were sent to China to establish a trade relationship with no success. Asks Papal States if they want a joint invasion of China to establish a trade relation.
 * Piedmont-Sardinia D: Wow, Spain, you're good at making certain nations feel included.
 * Papal States D: We allow the scientific studies if any special results are send to Rome to Papal researchers. I agree with the Chinese invasion. Maybe we could ask for Russian help in the north, or at least mobilize our navy and part of the army before declaring war. And maybe the American invasion should be delayed until we make a major power join it (Like UK) or convince the US of allowing it.
 * Prussia:  Asks if Russia wants help in building the railroad as an offer of friendship. Builds up the Army and the Navy. Reaches 28% of urbanization and industrialization. The Pacific Fleet arrived in Germany with great success. Embraces a military plan similar to Spain's and builds the first air force. Sends a fleet to the Indian Ocean in hope of colonizing something and succeeds by colonizing Bangladesh.
 * I shouldn't have to explain why this is crossed out.
 * Why?
 * I see you changed it from German Empire to Prussia, in which case carry on.

​1833
Denmark expands its Danish Gold Coast, while the Netherlands settle somewhere in OTL Sarahwi/Western Sahara, to the south of Morocco. Choose which places you want after the war (each nation two):
 * Belgium: Continues the voyage through the Cape of Good Hope to Madagascar, where another colony is established. As the voyage proceeds through the Indian Ocean, a small settlement is established in OTL Papua New Guinea as New South Lands. Warns Spain that China has a fairly big military, so we will need the whole Europe combined. Then China will be divided, and that's a better plot.
 * Tasmania was colonised by the British in 1803, and it's British on the map.
 * Fixed. Regards. Laptop Zombie 08:20, February 16, 2013 (UTC)
 * Russian Empire: Sends two colonizing ships out, and does plan to avoid America at the moment, and instead head south to the South Pacific area, and land on an island, where a fort is placed. Continues work on military.
 * Bavaria: The Antarctic Expedition returns home, having spent the winter trapped in the Antarctic ice. The specimens and information gathered are categorized, and will be shown in the Museum of Human and Natural History next year. Naturalists, meteorologists and anthropologists, along with small military guards, are sent to the Piedmontese colonies, as per last year's agreement. The SGAS convention finally agrees on a customs union (similar to the OTL Zollverein) called the South German Free-Trade Area. King Ludwig calls an SGAS Heads of State Meeting to discuss the impending illegal union of Austria and Prussia. The army is improved, and another ten balloons are constructed.
 * Belgium: The Union of Austria and Prussia is an illegal one, and shall be questioned before the European Union by a Congress. We offer to help defend the SGAS nations from that union.
 * Papal States: If such illegal union attacks the SGAS the Papal States will support military in the war, considering that north Italy could be free from that union.
 * Spain: Spain further industrialises and modernizes its cities and reaches 28% of urbanization and industrialization. The navy is expanded and modernized for its next invasion against China. The first machine gun is invented. Asks if Spanish scientists can study in the colonies of France and Portugal (RNG). Bicycles are now sold in many shops. Scientists are currently studying a primitive calculator and electro-magnetics. Asks to exchange embassies with all European countries. Makes a colony in Somalia. Gives the Maori tribes in New Zealand some autonomy, but unfair trials and persecutions were held in New Zealand to weaken the Maori tribes. Mass-scale European-Maori marriages begin. Prepares to settle in Northern Australia. An expeditionary force was also created, similar to Bavaria's. Asks Russia and Great Britain if they would like to join the invasion of China and Japan. Postpones the South American invasion, but asks America if they would like to join it. Tells Papal States that the large military is the least of our troubles, because the Chinese will revolt if we want to divide its nation, and that the people outnumbers us even if we sent the entire population to China. Thus, we should just sign an agreement with the Qing government.
 * The plan for the proposed Asian Invasion
 * 1) ​All ships meet in the bay of Philippines.
 * 2) 1836: Ships depart and do a sudden attack on Taiwan.
 * 3) 1836.5: Takes Taipei, and uses Danshui as a port.
 * 4) 1837: Sends two forces, one to Nagasaki and one to Shanghai.
 * 5) 1837.5: China: Takes Shanghai and sieges Nanking. Japan: Takes Nagasaki and sieges Osaka.
 * 6) 1838 China: Defends Nanking (China will send most of its army to take Nanking back), and slowly butcher the Chinese army) Japan: Takes Osaka and pushes to Kyoto (massacres the samurais using machine guns).
 * 7) 1838.5: China: With most Chinese armies defeated, push to Beijing. Japan: Takes Kyoto and forces the emperor to sign an agreement.
 * 8) 1839: Takes Beijing and forces the Shogun to sign an agreement.

China:

Hong Kong: Papal States

Macau (Already owned by the Portuguese)

Fuzhou

Hainan Denmark

Taiwan: Spain

Mongolia: Russia

Japan: Russia (Or just Hokkaido if all of Japan isn't possible) (This Japan means the territories to be shared, opening the list, you could include Hokkaido in the list and claim it)

Ryuku Netherlands

Nagasaki: Spain

Nagoya Belgium

Hiroshima

Kyushu: Papal States

Korea Naples - Sicily

(add more if you wish)

You're lucky the Meiji Restoration hasn't taken place yet. Piedmont-Sardinia: All colonies expand, and the Somali colony is renamed Cornucopia, and colonists are sent to the Solomon Islands. Balloon production continues, giving Piedmont-Sardina one of the largest, if not THE largest air force in the world. Offers to buy the Spanish Somalia colony. The Austrian-Piedmontese border has almost no guards at this point. The population of Emmanuelia hits 15,000. A proposition is made to all European powers that a conference in Turin should be held where the Europeans discuss where colonies should be to prevent colonial-wars.
 * Piedmontese Diplomacy: Please leave Somalia, as we lay claim to the Horn of Africa, and thanks for making us included in ANYTHING. Can we join?
 * Papal States D: Our superior navy will prove to be good to conquer of Japan and China. We agree with the plan. Actually the Manchu rule China (Qing Dynasty), which majority is Han, maybe we could use that in favor and make propaganda to be "liberating" the Han from Manchu rule.
 * Russian Diplomacy: We would be happy to join. We also ask if we can buy 1,000 machine guns, and have permission to copy them for our Imperial Army.
 * There is absolutely no way you could take over all of China and Japan. Carving out spheres of influence and getting treaty ports and annexing some parts, sure. But China is a MASSIVE country, with a MASSIVE, if outdated, army. Piedmont, the Papal States and Russia do not stand a chance. An expedition to take Hainan Island, or Taiwan, or get some ports, or to make an unequal treaty is perfectly reasonable, and completely within your powers. But I stress that there is absolutely no way ever that European second-to-third-rate powers could completely carve up all of China and Japan. LaptopZombie asked why the game was ASB: This would make it 100% ASB. Sincerely, Callumthered (talk) 01:50, February 17, 2013 (UTC)
 * OK. This makes sense. With everybody calling, Belgium, Denmark, Netherlands, Portugal, Naples - Sicily all join. Call for UK (still inactive), Sweden, France, Prussia and Austria to join. If all of Europe fight, we sure win.  Remember to do an algorimth for this.  Regards, Laptop Zombie 04:07, February 17, 2013 (UTC)

Papal States: Most of the navy leaves Europe going to the Philippines bay, requesting permission from Spain first to put the plan on action. The Ivory Coast colonials reach it and create the West Africa Papal Company, while the colonials in Indochina establish colonies across the whole of Vietnam and start expanding to Cambodia and Laos. Opium ships reach China and some merchants start selling it and sent some silk full ships to Rome. Silk and opium plantations are established in Indochina, while a central authority is made in Saigon.

Sweden: Whilst the royalty wishes to join the colonisation efforts, the parliament does not. Class warfare is at its height and rumours of a coup against the crown or the parliament begin. Construction begins on a Spanish embassy in Stockholm, while designs for our own embassy in Madrid are proposed to the Spanish government.

Greece continues to expand its colonies, army and navy.
