Land of Opportunity (Map Game)

Christoper Columbus discovered America (the Caribbean really) one year ago. Colonial Empires will rise, Colonial Empires will fall. Will your Empire stand the test of time? Can you bring glory and wealth to your nation? Will you join the game?

Rules

 * 1) The game begins in 1493 (the year after Christopher Columbus discovered America).
 * 2) Native Americans start with a far lower technological level than Europeans but can catch up.
 * 3) Mods CAN be players, but if they are bias their mod-hood will be revoked.
 * 4) Historical events and revolutions will still take place as well as less-existent revolts (though you can stop them, possibly) but the revolting nation keeps strong cultural ties and names may be different (e.g. OTL Canada revolts against Sweden but will be called Vinland and speak Swedish).
 * 5) Implausible colonization can be pardoned (e.g. Morocco colonizing the Caribbean or China colonizing Baja California).
 * 6) Knowledge of the West will spread slower to eastern nations, but faster than OTL.
 * 7) No colonizing Africa until 1730. This rule can be changed depending on game progression.
 * 8) I am bad at making maps, so players must contribute (when needed).
 * 9) Mod's word is law unless proven wrong.
 * 10) No excessive Alien Space Bats.
 * 11) If I set something up that is historically inaccurate (e.g. UK existing in 1494) correct me.
 * 12) Grammatical Correctness
 * 13) Game starts with six players.
 * 14) Map will be updated every five turns (5 years).

Game
LET THA GAMEZ BAGIN

1493
'''Mod Event: Knowledge of the New World spreads beyond Spain's borders. Portugal, Morocco and France can now attempt colonization of the Americas. Carib Indians, after their brief encounter with Christopher Columbus, advance slightly in technology.'''
 * China: Emperor Zhū Yòutáng and his advisors pass a series of laws that begin to tackle the corruption within the Chinese government, especially among nobles and the military. He also orders the training of more officers for the Chinese Army, while he begins to prepare for an offensive against the Mongols to the north. Universal education is granted to help increase the literacy of the Chinese people. Establishment of universities in Beijing, Shanghai and Hong Kong begins. A trade agreement is sent to people of Tibet (RNG, please).
 * Tibet D: Accepts the trade agreement
 * Spain: A colony is founded on Hispaniola, and Christopher Columbus himself, is named governor. Spanish explorers begin to chart and discover new lands throughout the new world.
 * Siam: A large military campaign is launched to finally unite all of Indochina, and a military and navy are expanded significantly, and explorers are sent out into Indonesia to map the many islands.
 * Ottoman Caliphate: The Empire is reorganized into the Ottoman Caliphate. The newly proclaimed Caliph immediately announces the declaration of war against the brown nation occupying Egypt, Judea and parts of Arabia and Ottoman forces land near Palestine, Alexandria, and after crossing the Sinai Peninsula, the Arabian coast along the Red Sea. Ottoman forces soon force the battle of Palestine, taking Jerusalem and the area of OTL Israel in the process. Alexandria is also taken and most of the are around the Nile Delta soon is under Caliphate control. Military continues buildup while the Caliph offers Persia a non-aggression Pact and alliance.
 * Pretty sure that the "brown country" is Egypt.
 * I'm more than sure that no one can take egypt within one year unless it accepts vassalization or Protectorate state 
 * They don't own it completely yet, and I'm sure the mods will do something if it becoomes implausible.
 * France: with the news of the new found lands some of the French leadership begins a Colonization, sending an envoy of 5 ships to cross, one Landing in OTL guajira and another one In OTL cartagena, found and in similar way of the Spanish the Sea Is mapped though only near the Settlement regions, while this an alliance is offered the England and Spain and military build up is prepared
