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.

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.

Spring

 * The Prussians establish new colonies in OTL Georgia and Florida. In the process they discover, and begin settling OTL's Bahamas
 * The Prussians also expand the Neu Prussia and Albertsland colonies.
 * A huge new colony fleet arrives from denmark. the population of the Danish colony on Hispaniola is doubled, and the population of the louisanna colony is greatly increased. Also, several new fortresses are built guarding the entrance to the Danish Harbors on Nova Scotia and Newfoundland.
 * France rebuilds on their Rhode Island colony.

Summer

 * A dispute between the Prussian colony of Albertsland and the Pomeranian colony of New Pomerania results in the Prussians seizing the Pomeranian colony.
 * Spain discovers and colonizes the Ithsmus of Panama and OTL Ecuador. All of Colombia and Spanish Venezuela are colonized.

Fall

 * The Holy Roman Empire begins to colonize the Yucatan Peninsula OTL and begins to establish a small village.
 * France expands further into the state of OTL Maine.
 * The Danish farms on Nova Scotia and Newfoundland produce a large grain surplus, thanks to the Danish crop rotation system. in a magnanimous gesture, they give their extra grain to the French colonists. both colonies experience a huge population growth. in addition, several large barges begin operating along the Mississippi, bringing grain down from the rapidly increasing number of Danish farms on the mississippi. this grain is used to feed workers on several new sugar plantations on Hispaniola.

Winter

 * The Chiniese descover Vancouver Island as it is now called New China and set up a colony
 * The Danes discover surface deposits of coal on Nova Scotia. they use it to warm their houses, and run a forge.
 * The Holy Roman Empire slowly begins to start trading with the natives and expand their land to cover OTL Yucatan covering the coast to the OTL Rio Grande River. After assessing the risks of war with the other nations that could conflict with its goals, they create the Holy Roman West India Company which is essentially sovereign from the mainland, and thus is politically not involved.
 * The Captaincy General of Venezuela is created.
 * The Danes begin establishing forts along the Rio Grande, to prevent the HRE from expanding north.
 * The Russian Czar creates a colony in Alaska.
 * France, instead of expanding any more, centralizes all of her assets on a single town, Port de Nord.
 * The Danes adopt a similar strategy to the French. they begin building three major cities. one in Newfoundland, on on Hispaniola, and one at the mouth of the Mississippi
 * Captaincy General of Venezuela is growing.
 * HRE sends alliance to Danes and will support and defend them in case of attack if they help us in return (please Accept)
 * The Danes accept on the condition that the HRE expand no further north than the Rio Grande river. (basically, the OTL us-mexico border.)
 * The French send a new detachment of settlers to settle on OTL Florida.
 * HRE accepts
 * The Prussians expel the French from Florida.
 * The Prussians expand the colony of Albertsland. A major city is built on the site of OTL Atlanta, Georgia.
 * The Prussian colony of Neu Prussia also expands slightly.
 * The Danish city in Newfoundland build's it's first drydock, and is soon churning out fishing vessels. also, another colony fleet arrives in Louisanna, and most of the colonists travel upriver to farm
 * The HRE names the city Nova Roma and the opportunity in the new land and the myth of El Dorado attracts a colony fleet. They form an army.
 * More colonists arrive from Denmark. many of them travel to Newfoundland, and soon the entire island is colonized
 * Several thousand Swedish colonists that were traveling with the Danes split off to go to OTL St. Louis and Covington, both with some of the best farmland in the world. They set themselves up as the swedish province of Sundsvall. (may i ask how they got to St. Louis? it's in the midwest, and the fastest way there is through the Danish colony?) [St. Louis is on the Mississippi, and the Danes control the mouth of it, plus you said that the Danes send colonies further north up the Mississippi](yeah, but why would they allow Swedes through?)
 * Another Danish colony fleet arrives, and they establish several hundred more plantations on Hispaniola.
 * HRE fleets begin to colonise OTL Havana and meet with the British. They offer 300 000 pounds to Denmark for the border to be readjusted to OTL Nueces.

Spring

 * The Danes don't send supplies to the Swedish colonists, and most of them starve. the Danes also expand the coal industry on Nova Scotia. they reject the HRE's offer.
 * HRE raise to 600 000 pounds AND offering to declare war on a country of Denmark's choice. HRE expands into the west and has now met the OTL Pacific Ocean, naming it the Germanica Ocean. They start exporting cocoa. Offer to deliver give asylum to Swedish colonists.
 * the Danes still reject the HRE's offer, because they want to maintain a river border with the HRE, and the Rio Grande is already fortified (Nueces is river)
 * Offer Danes cocoa in exchange for cotton and 10 000 pounds
 * The Danes offer the HRE a trade deal in which the HRE would get the bulk of Danish grain, and the HRE would allow the rapidly expanding Danish merchant marine to carry most of their coffee trade
 * The Prussians expand both the Neu Prussia and Albertsland colonies. Neu Konigsburg becomes the main city, and capital of the Neu Prussia colony.
 * One fleet of the colony ships breaks away from the regular HRE fleet and land at the mouth of the OTL Riviere ST Lawrence in Quebec, forming a second colony,Neue Wien.
 * HRE accepts if Danes open embassy in all cities.
