Principia Moderni III (Map Game)

Principia Moderni, or "The Beginning of the Modern" in late Latin, was a map game beginning in the final days of the Middle Ages in Europe, and the early days of the Ming Dynasty in China - in 1400 CE, a turbulent era; in other words, an era of change; an era in which power is cemented. The first game was perhaps the most successful map game on the wiki in terms of length, finishing without dying and plausible expansions. However, it did have its problems, and has now finished. The second game, instead of being a worthy successor to the first, was marred by over-expansionism, feuds between players, ambiguity in the rules, which often caused controversy on wars between player nations, over-competitiveness and overall inactivity of the moderators, but was nevertheless successful in reaching the Modern Age. And thus, this third installment has been created. Welcome to Principia Moderni III!

''' To clarify some of the events of last turn, only the three independent tartar states are unifying, none of the vassals or puppet states are. This does make sense as they are independent, have local and free elections, and would realistically want to unify, since they have no clear force holding them back. '''

''' As for China, it's not unifying straight off the bat, it's a rebellion against the Japanese states and part of their goals is to unify China. If the revolt succeeds, then the Chinese states will unify, not before. '''

''' Spanish Indonesia begins to revolt against the Spanish. By the end of the year the nation is in full scale rebellion. (Non-Popular) '''

''' In the Caliphate, tensions between the Persians and Arabs break out and begin to grow. '''

''' Sudafrica revolts from Andea (Non-Popular). '''


 * Commonwealth Kingdoms of Hamburg, Hanover, Prussia, Westphalia, Rhineland, Kuba, and New Rugia: New Mecklenburg, Kameroon, and German West Africa expand by 750 px each. Naval research and development continues, this time looking to prolong the submerged time of submarines. Another experiment places a flat wooden deck on a cargo ship, intent on turning it into a seaborne airfield. The initial tests show some success, and further tests for next year are scheduled. Meanwhile, Michael Dietrich runs for a second term for German chancellor.


 * Indian Empire: Queen Farah Shah was proclaimed the Empress of India in 1888, starting a new era. The Indian population rose to about 441,772,000, and the flocking of the people to coastal cities continued, with a mass increase of population in Kolkata, Mahmudpur, Karachi, Mumbai, Surat and various other minor cities and townships throughout the state. The Indian army, equipped with semi-modern armaments stood at 720,000 troops with an additional 250,000 reserves whilst the Imperial Guard was composed of 20,000 troops and the armament industry thrived on local and national level, with armaments rarely imported from foreign nations. The Indian navy experimented on ironclads and had started production of larger classes of steam engine ships, churning out first rate ironclads for various fleets, and more third rates, and fourth rates with the occasional second rate to augment the smaller patrol fleets with 40% of the national navy harboured at the Andaman and Kolkata ports. In agriculture was the largest economic focus of India, exporting various crops to foreign nations with the international jute and cotton textile production largely under Indian control. Along the same time, the Indian Renaissance were in full swing, with movements such as the Young India movement having aided in national modernisation and a massive rise in literacy and education. Moreover, promotion of industrialisation and capitalism allowed the Imperial authorities to construct a Trans-National Railway, connecting the entire Empire as well as introduction of many other commodities such as telephones, bulbs, electricity. Indian troops rapidly advance into rebel territory, but are unable to secure a major breakthrough. 700,000 troops are diverted toward Assam and Southern India, with an additional 850,000 troops arriving from Western India. Riots in Kolkata by the Hindu minority are largely curbed, with the areas constituting the late Vijaynagara Empire being the main war zone. To combat the Hindu rebels, Islamist and Nationalist Brigades are also raised; with sufficient success by these groups in Assam after having completely crippled the rebel force advancing upon Visakhapatnam. The Maxim Gun plays a decisive role during the war, ripping through the rebel army, resulting in their heavy losses. The military continues investing into the Tank as well, preparing to introduce the newer and much stronger Agni II. The Empress of India, Farah Shah declares the rebellion to be an international conspiracy to undermine the success and prosperity of India. Along the same time, Punjab is annexed. [Mil/Eco Turn]
 * Khedivate of Bahamani: The Capital of Bahamani was Hyderabad and the population was 70.2 million. The Bahamani military was modernised, standing at roughly 80,000, with 15% of the national navy harboured at Bahamani ports. The Bahamani port cities of Mahmudpur played a major role in international trade due to its strategic position, competing against Caliphates ports. In the economic sector, rice played the role as a major food crop to be exported. However, other important crops such as cotton, sugar cane, mango and tobacco maintained a major presence in Bahamanis exports as well. About the same time, the Bahamani textile and fishery industries reached new heights. Jihad is declared upon the Pan Hindu rebels.
 * Khedivate of Udaipur: The Capital of Udaipur was Ahmadabad and the population was 50.8 million. The Udaipuri military was modernised, standing at roughly 160,000, with 20% of the national navy harboured at Bahamani ports. The Udaipuri port cities of Karachi and Surat played a major role in international trade due to their strategic position, competing against Caliphates ports. In the economic sector, wheat played the role as a major food crop to be exported. However, other important crops such as rice, cotton, cotton and ruits maintained a major presence in Udaipurs exports as well. About the same time, the Udaipur fishery, sugar and leather industries were of significant importance as well. Recruits are raised to combat the Pan Hindu rebellion. Unlike the rest of the state, Udaipur is largely peaceful. 
 * Khedivate of Vijaynagar: The Capital of Vijaynagar was Coimbatore and the population was 40.4 million. The Vijaynagari military was modernised, standing at roughly 120,000 with 15% of the national navy harboured at Vijaynagari ports. The Vijaynagari port city of Chennai played a major role in international trade due to its strategic position, competing against Lankan ports. In the economic sector, rice played the role as a major food crop to be exported. However, other important crops such as tea, sugar cane, mango and tobacco maintained a major presence in Vijaynagars exports as well. About the same time, the Vijaynagari fishery and leather industries were of significant importance as well. The Khedivate largely falls to the rebels, who advance farther toward Assam; capturing various local towns along the way. However, the rebels are kept from Coimbatore where 500,000 reinforcements arriving from Bahamani are able to halt the rebel offensive. Along the same time, the Vijaynagari navy leaves the Chennai Harbour and is redirected to the Kolkata Port as the rebels start advancing into Chennai. By the end of the year, Chennai is closed for trade and the port is mostly used in order to deliver reinforcements and supplies.
 * Khedivate of Aceh Darrusalam: The Capital of Aceh was Banda and the population was 13.5 million. The Aceh military was modernised, standing at roughly 30,000 with 10% of the national navy harboured at Aceh ports. In the economic sector, rice played the role as a major food crop to be exported. However, other important crops such as tea, sugar cane, mango and tobacco maintained a major presence in Acehs exports as well. About the same time, the Aceh fishery, oil and mining industries were of significant importance as well. Major oil and gas reserves are discovered by Spanish and Indian experts in Aceh, who collaborate on the project as per the Treaty of Hague. The Indian Ambassador to Spain informs his Spanish counterpart of the discovery, and requests the Spanish government to provide the given resources in order to begin immediate mining and extraction. 
 * Indian Overseas Territories: Naval bases continue to be built to enforce claims on several islands such as Mauritius, Seychelles, Tromelin and Reunion. The Indian Navy attempted to enforce complete control over the Indian Ocean, aggressively patrolling the sea to combat Somalian pirates.
 * Lankan Diplomacy: The Emperor, Sri Gunananda, offers to send an army of 50,000 men to help supress the Hindu Rebels.
 * Indian Diplomacy: The Governor of Vijaynagar, Rajendra Chola accepts the offer by Lanka. The Indian Empire hopes to see Lanka play an important and decisive role against the rebels during the planned 1921 Offensive.
 * Spanish: Oil Co can into Aceh?
 * Caliphate drastically improves infrastructure, industry and economy. As we seek to protect our possesions, we become less expansionist into foreign cultures and lands. We continue westernization efforts especially in urban, developed regions, such as Baghdad. As with every year, we maintain our two Holy cities and donate a small amount of our income to charity, especially to the poor: beggars, widows, and more of the like. We maintain our military, but the military becomes less emphazied with the signing of the pan-Asian pact, which protects the Caliphate from any foreign invasion and threats. We improve relations with the Afghans, hoping to bring them into the Pact in the near future. With the death of Caliph Hakeem bin Malik many of our young citizens call him the "Magnificent", specifically for his republican reforms, implementing the Shura. With the westernization and increasing democratic power, we begin, on a small scale, implementing railroads, especially connecting urban cities and regions. We also begin construction on large-scale of an Ironclad fleet, in order to combat the Roman fleet. With the full implementation and the construction of roads, postal service, railroads, transportation and news travels faster than ever, allowing the unity of the Caliphate. We begin to encourage urban cities sto start developing their own newspapers, as along with the arrival of radios into the Caliphate, due to the Westernization Effort. We continue to support the idea of the Caliphate as a pan-Islamic state, not Pan-Arabic. The Government completely reforms, seeking Hakeem's dream of a truly democratic Caliphate. A new office is created: Sultan. The Caliph becomes only the religious leader of the Caliphate, whose position is heredity, with the Sultan being elected from the Shura. The Caliphate begins to become federalized, with every province of the Caliphate holding a small amount of power. We continue to attempt to convert Shia Muslims, even bribing local religious leaders to begin to teach Sunni beliefs. With the war against the Romans ending with status quo ante bellum and restoration of all previous treaties, the Caliphate becomes desperate to look for new wealth. With oil found in Persia, and predictions of an even greater oil field by Borealian geologists, the Caliphate offers to grant Borealian companies 20% of all profits from oil sales for 15 years, starting from the year the Caliphate first starts exporting oil. The Caliphate continues to head to democracy with the foundation set by Caliph Hakeem. The Caliphate continues promoting Arab, Persian, Swahili and Kurd culture. To gain further support and trust of the Persians, a Persian Governor is appointed to Persia and major development plans are also initiated in Persia. Many Persian groups that oppose the Caliphate are reminded that it was the Caliphate that not only defended Persia from the Assyrian Aggression, but also liberated Persia from the Tatars.
 * Korea: Korea continues to build up its military. Meanwhile, more Taoist and Buddhist temples are built. Taoism rises in popularity and gains more followers. Regular (read: not Imperial) Shinto gains a few more followers as well, mainly along the coastline in Southeastern Korea, particularly in Busan, Jejudo, Ulsan, and the coastal cities and coastal towns of Southern Gyeongsang Province. Mahayana Tao-Shintoism also continues to grow, and begins gaining followers from the areas where Shinto is growing, with some Shintoists switching to Mahayana Tao-Shintoism. The military in the colony of Haejagang (해자강) continues to be on high alert and continues to heavily patrol the Korean settlements. Meanwhile, industrialisation and modernisation continues in Korea (similar to OTL Japan's Meiji Restoration). Monarch Hyomyeong continues investing in technology and science. The Hyundai Motor Company continues to build more cars.


 * Lombardy: Our military is continuing to increase due to technology becoming better. Factories still make weapons and vehicles for our military, but it is not the mostly made item. With the increase of factories in the nation, more jobs are being made. The employment rate has continued to increase in the nation. Agriculture is our best industry in the nation. The railway industry is continuing to work on improving the tracks. Doctors are now continue to use X-rays to see the inside of people. Cars are now being popular within the middle class people, and not just the rich society. Trade goes well with the Roman Empire. The navy continues to make ships for trade and for future tensions. We continue to build many buildings like hospitals, colleges and banks. There are two years left for us occupying Sardinia.
 * Spain: Continues to prosper as a center of the arts and learning. The construction of new buildings, roads and other infrastructure continues. Spanish merchants and emissaries continue to sail around the world to expand the reach of Spain in terms of wealth and diplomatic connections. Spain also becomes a place where artists and intellectual minds meet and do things. It is cool. Due to the burgeoning growth of the economy, new jobs created in the five major cities led to more people moving to the cities. The buildings rise higher and the trains run faster, especially in the major cities such as Zaragoza, Barcelona and Madrid. Cars and railways and all sorts of cool modern stuff. Spain continues to lay claim to Antarctica. The construction of ships and weaponry continues. Boats and guns and cars. Spain begins to mass troops along the border with France and increases patrols around the entire coast of Spain. Spain continues to commission destroyers and increases the number of battle ready battleships in the Royal Armada. More artillery stuff. Carlo Ferreira continues to develop aeroplanes and makes great advances. The Spanish government condemns the Communist nations. Spain continues to seek out dissenters in Communist France to weaken the French government's strength. Spain continues to advocate the expansion of the anti-Communist League. The Spanish colony of West Africa expands 8000 sq km north in the west and east, totaling 16,000 sq km. Croats in Dahomey retain their rights. Dahomey expands 8000 sq km into the interior of Africa. The Spanish colony in southwest Africa expands 8000 sq km inland as well. Cars. Spain continues to develop better tanks. Also, Spain launches the super-dreadnought. Planes improve. Spain continues the Antarctica Conference. The borders of Spanish Africa begin to be redrawn to accomodate for colony size and ethnic differences. Spain sends lots of troops into Indonesia to smack down their bitch asses. SARDINIA FOR SPAIN. #NoMoreWikiaChanges
 * Algeria: Has an election. Ion Basurto succeeds Fabran as the Prime Minister, and is of his party. Algeria begins to near the Spanish level of military technology. Boats, guns, planes, cars, money.
 * Singapore: Also continues to develop naval technology to protect its economic interests with the aid of Spain. Singapore also greatly benefits from the newly re-invigorated trade in the region. Singapore continues to accumulate wealth as a center of trade and all that nonsense. Martial law is declared in Singapore and associated territories to prevent rebellion in that region.
 * Borealia_Flag_2.png Union of Borealia: Both the economy and military improve across all the provinces of the Union. The thriving industries now run entirely on petroleum, procured from the oil collected from Alaska and California. While the traditional hearts of each city, particularly New Vienna, continue to reflect the same idyllic Baroque style, newer expansions to these urban centers are packed with factories and other industrial equipment. Cities recently built in southern California and northern Alaska are much more developed, as some parts of the Kiatagmiut province are almost unrecognizable. The economy of the Union stems from the exportation of natural resources. San Francisco and Mamterlliq continue to be the main centers of the gold trade, while oil wells begin to speckle the coastal range of California. More oil wells are built in Upper Alaska, bringing entrepreneurs to that region. Large monopolies on lumber and animal products are also prevalent in Santiago and Pannenstiel. All of these businesses are connected with diesel trains that span the continent. As the various earlier philosophies continue to grow and factionalize, these turn into competing ideas that promote further progression and ingenuity from the younger generation. Films in color are becoming more popular. Electrical power continues to spread, although one scientist claims to have created better light by conducting gas. A theory of quanta is developed to explain phenomenon as smaller levels, and more theories follow to develop machines at this level. Tanks continue being developed. X-rays are being used to interpret internal injuries. Airplanes begin being built on the Remen design in Pannenstiel. We continue to uphold the New Munich Declaration along with Algonquia, Reme, Mexaca, and Arcadia. An organization for promoting peace in the Pacific is established, whose members currently include Korea, China and Ayutthaya. As more industrial goods continue to pour in from Reme, Borealian entrepreneurs begin selling more oil, gold, lumber, and livestock to the East Coast.  Industrial goods are sent to Brazil and China to improve their respective economies. In sympathy for the oppression of Communism in Europe, a small Communist Party emerges this year in New Vienna. These people are viewed suspiciously, however, as Communism usually has no place in Borealian culture. Companies continue to search for oil in Arabia. Borealia sends economic support to both the Nationalist Government of China and the new Tartar Empire. We ask Japan to consider ceding some of its territory to these native governments. The joint Borealian-Japanese-Indian aviation program greatly increases in its size and scope, planing to perfect passenger planes within three years. Military support is given to the rebels in Indonesia. Among various Asiatic peoples settling in San Francisco are a group of Nivkh immigrants from Japanese Manchuria. Hearing about how their people were disenfranchised by the Japanese, a massive social movement stressing for Nivkh independence begins in city. By the end of the year, the Tiger-Hand Pastry becomes the fastest-growing industry in San Francisco.
 * The State of Australia: The state greatly increases this year by beginning joint control over the colony of New Mecklenburg, provided by Germany on the provision of ceding the whole colony by 1929. The capital of the state is centered at Dandiri (OTL Brisbane), which administer over all land settlements and the Luwrit Sea (OTL Tasman Sea). Schools and media centers are established that teach Borealianist philosophy along with essential education. Supplies and engineers are continually sent to the Timor Sultanate to improve their industry. Settlements begin to grow around the Lake Eyre region. With respect to the German colonial government, we ask Croatia to purchase the part of the outback north of Lake Eyre.
 * The Commonwealth of Oceana: Naval bases continue being built to enforce claims on several islands (from OTL Palau to Fiji). A major naval base is constructed on the Island of Midway in the Republic of Hawaii. Another major naval base is constructed in Fiji to complement the base on Midway. Exploration of West Antarctica continues. The nation considers expanding the Treaty of Midway over the waters within the Luwrit Sea. 
 * Colony of Kinshasa: With the incorporated French colony, continues to expand its lumber and mining companies with cheap labor picked up from surrounding natives. An organized government forms along with some small villages. The border expands inward 750 px.
 * Colony of North Antarctica: A small base is established on Antarctica's most northern peninsula, inhabited only six months of the year. A lighthouse begins construction to aid shipping that travels south of Cape Horn.
 * Caliphate Diplomacy: The state offers to grant Borealian companies 20% of all profits from oil sales for 15 years, starting from the year the Caliphate first starts exporting oil.
 * Borealia agrees to this offer, provided that the social stability of the region is not threatened.
 * Commonwealth Duchy of Oldenburg: Premier Br Friederich Ritter von Schuhmacher succumbs to old age this year and dies in office. Tributes flow in from all over Oldenburg and Neu Norderney honouring the great politician and diplomat. A grand state funeral is performed, presided over by the Prince-Primate of Osnabruck, with Duke Wilhelm II saying the eulogy. At Friederich's own request, he is buried in a simple grave, marked by an ordinary stone cross. The Vice Premier, the Socialist Dietmar Steinbauer, is made Premier, the first member of the Socialist Party to hold the position. Economy expands.
 * Commonwealth Lordship of Neu Norderney: Infrastructure, especially new railways, improves.
 * Ruthenia: The Ruthenians continue their industrial development as well as the research into airships.
 * Andea:  Rapidly develops its industry. Industrial work becomes the most common field to work in. Average wage for industrial workers stands at 1000 reals, but the government set minimum wage stands at 400 reals. Yellow-Dog Contracts are officially outlawed this year in Andea. The military expands to include 650,000 men. With the outbreak of war overseas, the draft is enacted and funding is poured into military. The navy expands dramatically, with the inclusion of Dreadnoughts and Armored Cruisers making ironclads irrelevant. The Republican Party wins the Presidency, beating out the Nationals, Democrats, Hesperian, and the Progressives. This year sees the creation of the first movie theater in Andea, as well as the rise of consumer culture. The number of tanks is increased. We send 80,000 men and supplies to our Roman allies. Population stands at 81 million. The Andean navy and air force expand as well. An Andean engineer by the name of Jose Apaec presents a "Machine Pistol" to his local police force. It quickly spreads to the Andean military. The garrisons active in Cape Ferdinand and Sudafrica are activated to deal with the revolt.
 * Union of Sudafrica: more to be added later.

 * Morocco: The Sultanate of Morocco continues to improve its economy, infrastructure and build up its military, mainly the army and navy. Morocco continues to westernize the nation and the population continues to grow by adding 200,000 people every year. The population of Morocco now stands at 20 million people, while the number of military troops stands at 1.4 million soldiers. Number of ships active in Moroccan Navy stands at 40 ironclad ships, 14 frigates, 15 cruisers and 20 destroyers. Continue building a series of early fighters, bombers and now a few airships on military airports, which later added into Moroccan Air Force. The nation expends to south by 8000 sq km and to east by 8000 sq km, totaling 16,000 sq km, with a few new cities being built. Roads and railroads are built between old and new cities. Fewer museums, colleges and more houses, schools, hospitals, power plants and mining plants are built. The mining plants produces materials coal, iron and now gold and copper, which later used as products from industries. Industry continues improving and few factories are built along in cities, creating jobs for people of Morocco. The telephone/communications and mosaics industries continue to grow under a few large monopolies. The Moroccan automobile manufacturer Mellahu Motor Group continues mass building of cars and begins to sold its cars into Spain and Roman Empire. With parts of the country hooked up to electricity, few middle class citizens and rich citizens have light in their homes. The telegraph is popular with the rich and business people. The telephone is popular with the rich people of society. About 300,000 classes have a radio in their homes. Cars are popular with middle and the rich class. A few docks and mosques are built. The Moroccan Navy continues building a series of cargo ships, which cargo ships are for trade and for future tensions. Trade with various major European powers decides economic boom of Morocco and Morocco's largest exports are mosaics and largest imports are mostly food. Artillery becomes more widely used in combat and more industries continues building a series of wartime artillery, which later added it to Moroccan Armed Forces. Meanwhile, few new trains are produced and few new railway lines are opened in service. Sultan Abdelhafid continues to plan new reforms for Morocco and continues investing heavily in technology and science. ANNOUNCEMENT: Eric4e stop posting on years for now, but continues playing as Morocco, due to nine-day holidays in England. On hotels, I can't post any PMIII turns, but Morocco in next nine years will expend its nation at 16,000 sq km every year, totaling 144,000 sq km in the next nine years. Also every year, one impotent event will occur and for now on, Morocco neutrality! We back to PMIII in year 1929, once we took fight from England back home to Sweden.
 * Brazil: Settlement of Brazil’s new African territories is encouraged, especially in Porto Natal, Porto Centauro (Richard’s Bay), named for military leader Manuel Marques de Sousa, Barreto (Pietermaritzburg), named for José Luís Mena Barreto, Vila João (Johannesburg), named for King João of Guiana, and Vinicia (Pretoria). With the threat of the Zulu eliminated diamond and gold industries can be fully exploited, and a mass immigration occurs to the region from other portions of South Africa, Hesperia and Europe. The Embraer C-9 continues heavy production and use across the nation. Development of a light armoured reconnaissance vehicle begins to be employed in South Africa primarily. A partnership between the company Ed Ferreirinha & Irmão, an automotive business founded by race car driver Eduardo Ferreirinha, and foreign car manufacturers leads to the creation of Brazil’s first domestic car company. The ensuing brand becomes known as Ferreirinha, and begins mass producing domestic vehicles for the Brazilian population. One of the company’s rivals, União Metalo-Mecânica, catches the attention of the government by creating the Metralhadora Carro, or União MC-I, the first armoured reconnaissance vehicle for the Brazilian military. The first Brazilian tank, the Armadura-I, is also created. The tank is equipped with seven to thirteen millimeter armor, two 7.92 millimeter machine guns, and powered by a four cylinder air-cooled gasoline engine to reach a speed of about fifty kilometers per hour on road. The independent colony of Bechuanaland is created as a collection of colonies and settlements in OTL Botswana, and becomes the third official state in the Transvaal Union. Each colony is expected to have the ability to raise an independent army, which is under the direct control of a central authority in Vinicia, Solumbuso. As a test of the nation’s military organization, war is declared on the native nation of Zimbabwe. The first Brazilian tank and armored car divisions are employed in the invasion.
 * Emeraldie: The land forces stand at 90,000 men, with 70,000 in reserve, modernisation of the armed forces is completed. Vast industrial expansion occurs in the region following years of government encouragement and subsidies. We expand 800 px into the continent's interior. With the booming economy, the government begins investing heavily in education and infrastructure. In other news, the first domestically produced cars are built, with companies taking advantage of the growing petrol supply. The Royal Air Corps is expanded with new purpose built aircraft, it now includes 40 planes and four bomber Zeppelins. The world's first aircraft carrier is completed, christened HMES Charlemagne, it represents the pinnacle of naval aeronautics. In other news, the Royal Airship company is beginning building a system of routes connecting the major cities, with work starting on hangars and refuelling stations.
 * Emeraldie Pacific Territories: The territorial government is granted the ability to control a small armed force to maintain peace in the region and protect from native aggression, its current numbers are around 8000 men.
 * Commonwealth States (Bavaria): The military is improved, and the economy improves as well, after having suffered from the Great War. In political news, Klaudia Mikelssen, Senator from Bavaria, dies of old age, and her death is mourned by many Bavarians. We nominate Marcel Kampfiner, former Mayor of Berlin, for Chancellery candidate. 
 * Roman Empire: The Empire is now at a period of peace and prosperity after a long period of war and uncertainty. Roman trade routes stretch across most of the world in the pursuit of wealth and trade goods and Roman military might remains a powerful force in Europe and other parts of the world. The Roman central government does what it can to address all of the issues of the various archonates within the Empire and ensure that their needs are met even as they help instill strength in the central government. Railroads are constructed around the nation to help connect the Empire and its peoples and steamships are used for much the same purpose on water. To further strengthen its position in Africa, the Roman government begins to make official claims in the Saharan desert north of Egypt's southern border. However, some in the Empire scoff at this, suggesting that the Empire is wasting its time claiming barren land and should focus on more resourceful areas of Africa, Asia or Europe. As European interest in Africa begins to heat up, Roman officials begin exploring possible resources or benefits from extended interaction with Madagascar, and trade and diplomats are directed there to assess the situation. Trade also expands with Hawaii, which becomes an impressive conduit of trade for Roman merchants and businesses. As such, the Empire takes an interest in Hawaii, but rather than try to annex it, as it is too far from Roman authority to do so, Roman officials instead would like to see a strong and friendly Hawaii. Weapons and officers are sent to Hawaii to help train their soldiers and protect their independence. The Roman Empire responds to the increased activity of Communist insurgency in other nations in Europe by adopting a more aggressive stance. Troops are sent to Gothia and Ruthenia to protect against potential Communist aggression from the north, and the Roman Empire begins making overtures toward Croatia, Transylvania and Vlachia to prepare their defences. The Roman Empire also deploys more troops to Italy to present a clear vanguard against potential aggression from Communist France or Lombardy, which is seen as soon falling to Communists while the Roman Empire is forbidden by treaty to intervene. The Roman Empire is concerned with the fall of the Tartary to the Communist hordes, and is particularly concerned that the Caliphate has aligned itself toward the hordes. Fears of being surrounded soon start to build up in the Roman government, and as a result the Roman government does what it can to help shore up its defenses both physical and diplomatic. The Roman Empire expands trade, industry and military training to members of the Holy League, hoping to create and reinforce a stable and strong military alliance in the Empire's sphere of influence. The Roman Empire is forced to take drastic measures in recent years, as the expansion of Communism is considered unacceptable. Roman officials draft and generally pass Plan East, which calls for strengthening the Roman Empire's allies in the Holy League so they can protect the Roman Empire's flank while the Roman Empire concentrates on a potential eastern front. Military officers and engineers travel to Armenia, Georgia, Assyria, and Transylvania to train and improve those countries in all matters martial and industrial. The same goes for the Caliphate, hoping that the Caliphate would provide the crucial link in the chain for eastern defense. To further update the Empire's strength, the Roman Empire militarizes, and the Senate mandates that the Roman military be at a total size of 850,000 in peacetime and that a million man army must be able to be mobilized within a few weeks. Threats of Communism in Lombardy are too large to be ignored, so Roman forces militarize in Italy and pledge that no former treaty will hold Roman forces back if Lombardy becomes a clear threat. Remnants of the Vlachian government flee to the Roman Empire or Transylvania and call for intervention in Vlachia. Roman and Vlachian forces move in, securing the southern part of the country and stopping at the Wallachian-Moldavian border, as per the compromise between the Communists and Monarchists. Support for the true Vlachian government rises, and the Roman Empire provides the southern government the resources it needs to get itself back on its feet. To help stabilize its northern border, train cars full of weapons and ammo are sent to Croatia, hopefully to bolster that front. The rebel Syrians are seen as an annoyance, and as such local forces are tasked with putting them down. Troops are stationed in Syria after the cancellation of the supposed alliance, and alliances with Georgia and Assyria are affirmed again. Troops are sent to contain the uprising in Africa. This will all be fixed later, when I have time. Following many years of calling for a referendum, the people in Malabar vote to become independent from the Roman Empire and become a new nation. The Empire grants this request, knowing for a while now that the region would never fit in well with the Empire at this time and eager to maintain resources at home.
 * Reme: Reme begins to build up its military and economy. Reme elects a new president and starts to build up its navy. Meanwhile, trade is improved on, with industrialization, mainly former Byzantine areas slowly being introduced to populous areas. Lumber, cash crops, and other goods become a major export of Reme, and starts getting Reme a jump-start into the European economy. There is also the creation of New navy ships, to help modernize the Reman navy. Coal mines are built, and starts churning out coal at a consistent rate. Coal mining plants are also started to be upgraded. Reme also starts very slowly changing its focus to industrial things, with a nationwide railroad being considered to be built. Industrialization of river areas continue, as well as the production of textiles to cheaper the price of Reman cotton. Meanwhile, a Socialist-based party starts to gain seats in parliament, with plans to make Reme a more self-sufficient state. People are getting anxious over the threat of Communism to Reme, and vote on the crackdown of Communist sympathizers and their families. The Reman government is pleased that Pearl River has voted to join the Empire, and promises that their rights and property will be maintained. The Reman military is improved a bit in an effort to hold up its part of the Fraternal Alliance. The Franqi brothers begin experimenting with the idea of heavier-than-air flight, but the task is daunting and will take some time to perfect a flying device. They manage to create a working model which flies for several seconds. However, it isn't impressive enough and they continue their work. Following the outbreak of war, the Reman Empire declares war on France and sends troops to help the Spanish in their front.
 * Protectorate of Wolof: Wolof begins to build up its military and economy. Reman food and supplies come in to help the formerly starving nation, as well as the Reman military to help sustain order. Some representation is given in the Reman Parliament, to give Wolof a minimal say in how Reme should be run. Meanwhile, plans to industrialize the coastal areas as well as plans for fortifications are presented, and are started being worked on.

1921
''' Ethnic Tension between the Persians and Arabs within the Caliphate continues to grow. Many Persians believe that they should be at the center of the empire, and a select few call for independence, but they are small in number. '''


 * Indian Empire: Queen Farah Shah was proclaimed the Empress of India in 1888, starting a new era. The Indian population rose to about 441,772,000, and the flocking of the people to coastal cities continued, with a mass increase of population in Kolkata, Mahmudpur, Karachi, Mumbai, Surat and various other minor cities and townships throughout the state. The Indian army, equipped with semi-modern armaments stood at 720,000 troops with an additional 250,000 reserves whilst the Imperial Guard was composed of 20,000 troops and the armament industry thrived on local and national level, with armaments rarely imported from foreign nations. The Indian navy experimented on ironclads and had started production of larger classes of steam engine ships, churning out first rate ironclads for various fleets, and more third rates, and fourth rates with the occasional second rate to augment the smaller patrol fleets with 40% of the national navy harboured at the Andaman and Kolkata ports. In agriculture was the largest economic focus of India, exporting various crops to foreign nations with the international jute and cotton textile production largely under Indian control. Along the same time, the Indian Renaissance were in full swing, with movements such as the Young India movement having aided in national modernisation and a massive rise in literacy and education, with major developments in Chemistry, Physics, Biology etc. Moreover, promotion of industrialisation and capitalism allowed the Imperial authorities to construct a Trans-National Railway, connecting the entire Empire as well as introduction of many other commodities such as telephones, bulbs, electricity. A temporary ceasefire was secured from January 3 to February 6 until it was broken due to problems on both. Following the cancellation, the war restarted after which Indian troops successfully secured a major breakthrough into rebel territory. 700,000 troops that had been diverted toward Assam were soon redirected to South India in order to facilitate Operation Vijay, with the additional 850,000 troops from Western India meeting up with the main army at Visakhapatnam. The inhabitants of areas that were considered as rebel strongholds were persecuted by the Indian army, and all supplies to these areas were cut off, with a total of 16 million dying in this artificial famine. The Maxim Gun played a decisive role during the war, ripping through the rebel army, resulting in their heavy losses. The military continued investing into the Tank as well, preparing to introduce the newer and much stronger Agni II which was eventually delivered to the battlefield and soon turned the tide on the battlefield. By November, the rebellion had been completely squashed although minor rebels still remain. The Empress of India, Farah Shah declared the rebellion to be an international conspiracy to undermine the success and prosperity of India. [Mil/Eco Turn]
 * Khedivate of Bahamani: The Capital of Bahamani was Hyderabad and the population was 70.2 million. The Bahamani military was modernised, standing at roughly 80,000, with 15% of the national navy harboured at Bahamani ports. The Bahamani port cities of Mahmudpur played a major role in international trade due to its strategic position, competing against Caliphates ports. In the economic sector, rice played the role as a major food crop to be exported. However, other important crops such as cotton, sugar cane, mango and tobacco maintained a major presence in Bahamanis exports as well. About the same time, the Bahamani textile and fishery industries reached new heights. Jihad is declared upon the Pan Hindu rebels.
 * Khedivate of Udaipur: The Capital of Udaipur was Ahmadabad and the population was 50.8 million. The Udaipuri military was modernised, standing at roughly 160,000, with 20% of the national navy harboured at Bahamani ports. The Udaipuri port cities of Karachi and Surat played a major role in international trade due to their strategic position, competing against Caliphates ports. In the economic sector, wheat played the role as a major food crop to be exported. However, other important crops such as rice, cotton, cotton and ruits maintained a major presence in Udaipurs exports as well. About the same time, the Udaipur fishery, sugar and leather industries were of significant importance as well. Recruits are raised to combat the Pan Hindu rebellion. Unlike the rest of the state, Udaipur is largely peaceful. 
 * Khedivate of Vijaynagar: The Capital of Vijaynagar was Coimbatore and the population was 40.4 million. The Vijaynagari military was modernised, standing at roughly 120,000 with 15% of the national navy harboured at Vijaynagari ports. The Vijaynagari port city of Chennai played a major role in international trade due to its strategic position, competing against Lankan ports. In the economic sector, rice played the role as a major food crop to be exported. However, other important crops such as tea, sugar cane, mango and tobacco maintained a major presence in Vijaynagars exports as well. About the same time, the Vijaynagari fishery and leather industries were of significant importance as well. The Khedivate successfully withstood the brunt of the rebel offensive, and launched Operation Vijay involving 1,250,000 troops seeking to flush out the Hindu rebels. The rebel siege of Coimbatore was broken by March, and the military rapidly advanced toward the rebel capital of Madurai. By August, the rebels completely withdraw from Chennai after having suffered heavy losses to the Maxim Gun, which was later dubbed as the Chennai Gun. On October, the military under the command of Lankan Generals launched a second offensive from Chennai, routing the rebel army and completely annihilating the rebel force in the Battle of Madurai. On November 16th, the rebel capital of Madurai was stormed by the Indian forces who subsequently skinned alive the rebel leaders, torturing them to death. The natives of Madurai as well as surrounding rebel strongholds were genocided, with almost everyone killed and the city burned down. The total civilian casualities during the rebellion reached 20.8 million after which relief efforts finally started.
 * Khedivate of Aceh Darrusalam: The Capital of Aceh was Banda and the population was 13.5 million. The Aceh military was modernised, standing at roughly 30,000 with 10% of the national navy harboured at Aceh ports. In the economic sector, rice played the role as a major food crop to be exported. However, other important crops such as tea, sugar cane, mango and tobacco maintained a major presence in Acehs exports as well. About the same time, the Aceh fishery, oil and mining industries were of significant importance as well. Major oil and gas reserves are discovered by Spanish and Indian experts in Aceh, who collaborate on the project as per the Treaty of Hague. With the arrival of the Juan Standardo Oilo Company, extraction of the oil begins. Indian geological experts continue to seek out oil deposits, as it is assumed that Aceh has potential for being rich in oil. 
 * Indian Overseas Territories: Naval bases continue to be built to enforce claims on several islands such as Mauritius, Seychelles, Tromelin and Reunion. The Indian Navy attempted to enforce complete control over the Indian Ocean, aggressively patrolling the sea to combat Somalian pirates.
 * Caliphate drastically improves infrastructure, industry and economy. As we seek to protect our possesions, we become less expansionist into foreign cultures and lands. We continue westernization efforts especially in urban, developed regions, such as Baghdad. As with every year, we maintain our two Holy cities and donate a small amount of our income to charity, especially to the poor: beggars, widows, and more of the like. We maintain our military, but the military becomes less emphazied with the signing of the pan-Asian pact, which protects the Caliphate from any foreign invasion and threats. We improve relations with the Afghans, hoping to bring them into the Pact in the near future. With the death of Caliph Hakeem bin Malik many of our young citizens call him the "Magnificent", specifically for his republican reforms, implementing the Shura. With the westernization and increasing democratic power, we begin, on a small scale, implementing railroads, especially connecting urban cities and regions. We also begin construction on large-scale of an Ironclad fleet, in order to combat the Roman fleet. With the full implementation and the construction of roads, postal service, railroads, transportation and news travels faster than ever, allowing the unity of the Caliphate. We begin to encourage urban cities sto start developing their own newspapers, as along with the arrival of radios into the Caliphate, due to the Westernization Effort. We continue to support the idea of the Caliphate as a pan-Islamic state, not Pan-Arabic. The Government completely reforms, seeking Hakeem's dream of a truly democratic Caliphate. A new office is created: Sultan. The Caliph becomes only the religious leader of the Caliphate, whose position is heredity, with the Sultan being elected from the Shura. The Caliphate begins to become federalized, with every province of the Caliphate holding a small amount of power. We continue to attempt to convert Shia Muslims, even bribing local religious leaders to begin to teach Sunni beliefs. With the war against the Romans ending with status quo ante bellum and restoration of all previous treaties, the Caliphate becomes desperate to look for new wealth. With oil found in Persia, and predictions of an even greater oil field by Borealian geologists, the Caliphate offers to grant Borealian companies 20% of all profits from oil sales for 15 years, starting from the year the Caliphate first starts exporting oil. The Caliphate continues to head to democracy with the foundation set by Caliph Hakeem. The Caliphate continues promoting Arab, Persian, Swahili and Turkic culture.
 * Korea: Korea continues to build up its military. Meanwhile, more Taoist and Buddhist temples are built. Taoism rises in popularity and gains more followers. Regular (read: not Imperial) Shinto gains a few more followers as well, mainly along the coastline in Southeastern Korea, particularly in Busan, Jejudo, Ulsan, and the coastal cities and coastal towns of Southern Gyeongsang Province. Mahayana Tao-Shintoism also continues to grow, and begins gaining followers from the areas where Shinto is growing, with some Shintoists switching to Mahayana Tao-Shintoism. The military in the colony of Haejagang (해자강) continues to be on high alert and continues to heavily patrol the Korean settlements. Meanwhile, industrialisation and modernisation continues in Korea (similar to OTL Japan's Meiji Restoration). Monarch Hyomyeong continues investing in technology and science. The Hyundai Motor Company continues to build more cars.


 * Lombardy: Our military is continuing to increase due to technology becoming better. Factories still make weapons and vehicles for our military, but it is not the mostly made item. With the increase of factories in the nation, more jobs are being made. The employment rate has continued to increase in the nation. Agriculture is our best industry in the nation. The railway industry is continuing to work on improving the tracks. Doctors are now continue to use X-rays to see the inside of people. Cars are now being popular within the middle class people, and not just the rich society. Trade goes well with the Roman Empire. The navy continues to make ships for trade and for future tensions. We continue to build many buildings like hospitals, colleges and banks. There is one year left for us occupying Sardinia. The King tells his troops to stay on the island after the year is over. Prince Mario marries his girlfriend Amelia. Cities start to get so big that there is no room for people to live. The countryside starts to become the suburbs.
 * Not how that works. 
 * Borealia_Flag_2.png Union of Borealia: Both the economy and military improve across all the provinces of the Union. The thriving industries now run entirely on petroleum, procured from the oil collected from Alaska and California. While the traditional hearts of each city, particularly New Vienna, continue to reflect the same idyllic Baroque style, newer expansions to these urban centers are packed with factories and other industrial equipment. Cities recently built in southern California and northern Alaska are much more developed, as some parts of the Kiatagmiut province are almost unrecognizable. The economy of the Union stems from the exportation of natural resources. San Francisco and Mamterlliq continue to be the main centers of the gold trade, while oil wells begin to speckle the coastal range of California. More oil wells are built in Upper Alaska, bringing entrepreneurs to that region. Large monopolies on lumber and animal products are also prevalent in Santiago and Pannenstiel. All of these businesses are connected with diesel trains that span the continent. As the various earlier philosophies continue to grow and factionalize, these turn into competing ideas that promote further progression and ingenuity from the younger generation. Films in color are becoming more popular. Electrical power continues to spread, although one scientist claims to have created better light by conducting gas. A theory of quanta is developed to explain phenomenon as smaller levels, and more theories follow to develop machines at this level. Tanks continue being developed. X-rays are being used to interpret internal injuries. Airplanes begin being built on the Remen design in Pannenstiel. We continue to uphold the New Munich Declaration along with Algonquia, Reme, Mexaca, and Arcadia. An organization for promoting peace in the Pacific is established, whose members currently include Korea, China and Ayutthaya. As more industrial goods continue to pour in from Reme, Borealian entrepreneurs begin selling more oil, gold, lumber, and livestock to the East Coast.  Industrial goods are sent to Brazil and China to improve their respective economies. In sympathy for the oppression of Communism in Europe, a small Communist Party emerges this year in New Vienna. These people are viewed suspiciously, however, as Communism usually has no place in Borealian culture. A series of gang warfare begins in New Vienna, primarily using the gavin gun sold on the black market. The maxim gun gains the nickname "the New Vienna typewriter". The Nivkh independence movement continues to spread over Middle California, demanding Japan consider releasing the nation, while the Tiger-Hand Pastry dominates in San Francisco.
 * The State of Australia: The state greatly increases this year by beginning joint control over the colony of New Mecklenburg, provided by Germany on the provision of ceding the whole colony by 1929. The capital of the state is centered at Dandiri (OTL Brisbane), which administer over all land settlements and the Luwrit Sea (OTL Tasman Sea). Schools and media centers are established that teach Borealianist philosophy along with essential education. Supplies and engineers are continually sent to the Timor Sultanate to improve their industry. Settlements begin to grow around the Lake Eyre region. With respect to the German colonial government, we ask Croatia to purchase the part of the outback north of Lake Eyre.
 * The Commonwealth of Oceana: Naval bases continue being built to enforce claims on several islands (from OTL Palau to Fiji). A major naval base is constructed on the Island of Midway in the Republic of Hawaii. Another major naval base is constructed in Fiji to complement the base on Midway. Exploration of West Antarctica continues. The nation considers expanding the Treaty of Midway over the waters within the Luwrit Sea. 
 * Colony of Kinshasa: With the incorporated French colony, continues to expand its lumber and mining companies with cheap labor picked up from surrounding natives. An organized government forms along with some small villages. The border expands inward 750 px.
 * Colony of North Antarctica: A small base is established on Antarctica's northernmost peninsula, inhabited only six months of the year. A lighthouse begins construction to aid shipping that travels south of Cape Horn.
 * Morocco: The Sultanate of Morocco continues to improve its economy, infrastructure and build up its military, mainly the army and navy. Morocco continues to westernize the nation and the population continues to grow by adding 200,000 people every year. The population of Morocco now stands at 20.2 million people, while the number of military troops stands at 1.4 million soldiers. Number of ships active in Moroccan Navy stands at 40 ironclad ships, 14 frigates, 15 cruisers and 20 destroyers. Continue building a series of early fighters, bombers and now a few airships on military airports, which later added into the Moroccan Air Force. The nation expends to south by 8000 sq km and to west by 8000 sq km, totaling 16,000 sq km, with a few new cities being built. After Moroccan borders reached three West African countries, Morocco declares war on three various West African countries as Moroccan Colonial War in Africa, invade it with 20,000 soldiers. Roads and railroads are built between old and new cities. Fewer museums, colleges and more houses, schools, hospitals, power plants and mining plants are built. The mining plants produces materials coal, iron and now gold and copper, which later used as products from industries. Industry continues improving and few factories are built along in cities, creating jobs for people of Morocco. The telephone/communications and mosaics industries continue to grow under a few large monopolies. The Moroccan automobile manufacturer Mellahu Motor Group continues mass building of cars and begins to sell its cars into Spain and Roman Empire. With parts of the country hooked up to electricity, few middle class citizens and rich citizens have light in their homes. The telegraph is popular with the rich and business people. The telephone is popular with the rich people of society. About 600,000 classes have a radio in their homes. Cars are popular with middle and the rich class. A few docks and mosques are built. The Moroccan Navy continues building a series of cargo ships, which cargo ships are for trade and for future tensions. Trade with various major European powers decides economic boom of Morocco and Morocco's largest exports are mosaics and largest imports are mostly food. Artillery becomes more widely used in combat and more industries continues building a series of wartime artillery, which later added it to Moroccan Armed Forces. Meanwhile, few new trains are produced and few new railway lines are opened in service. Sultan Abdelhafid continues to plan new reforms for Morocco and continues investing heavily in technology and science. ANNOUNCEMENT: Eric4e stops posting on years for now, but continues playing as Morocco, due to nine-days holidays in England. On hotels, I can't post any PMIII turns and also every year, one important event will occur and for now on, Morocco neutrality! We back to PMIII in year 1929, once we took fight from England back home to Sweden. BUT ON THIS DAY, WE STOP EXPANDING THE NATION NEXT TWO YEARS, BECAUSE COLONIZATION IN WEST AFRICA IS COMPLETED. This will be the last nation post in this turn before we leaving off to England for holiday and we back to PMIII in year 1929.
 * Commonwealth Duchy of Oldenburg: Economy improves, with more Spitzbergen coal mines being opened by the OHG. Spitzbergen territory expands.
 * Commonwealth Lordship of Neu Norderney: Work continues on the nation's infrastructure. Cars become more prevalent.
 * Ruthenia: The Ruthenians continue their industrial development as well as the research into airships.
 * Emeraldie: The land forces stand at 90,000 men, with 70,000 in reserve, modernisation of the armed forces is completed. Vast industrial expansion occurs in the region following years of government encouragement and subsidies. We expand 800 px into the continent's interior. With the booming economy, the government begins investing heavily in education and infrastructure.

The world's first aircraft carrier is completed, christened HMES Charlemagne, it represents the pinnacle of naval aeronautics. In other news, the Royal Airship company is beginning building a system of routes connecting the major cities, with work starting on hangars and refuelling stations.
 * Emeraldie Pacific Territories: The territorial government is granted the ability to control a small armed force to maintain peace in the region and protect from native aggression, its current numbers are around 8000 men.
 * United Nordic Republics
 * ​Republic of Denmark: Denmark capitalizes on the fall of Pskov. With money flowing into the Kattegat and out of Pskovian wallets, there is one undoubted ruler of the Baltic Seas now. Former Communists flee to Jutland since Denmark is a Socialist state. Prime Minister Albert Wagner celebrates the end of the Great War, condemning Communism as a perversion of state-sponsored welfare. He worries that the actions of France have harmed Socialist movements in Europe, setting them back decades. In the meantime, a new destroyer is added to the Danish navy. There are over 113 ships in total flying Danish colors.
 * Republic of Sweden: Sweden also sees profit in the fall of Pskov. With money flowing into the Kattegat and out of Pskovian wallets, there is one undoubted ruler of the Baltic Seas now. Telephone lines are built in Sweden as electricity is brought to the northern cities and towns of Sweden. The Republic of Sweden commissions two destroyers into the Swedish fleet. There are now over 200 ships flying Swedish colors. Sweden offers to westernize the Caliphate in exchange for oil.
 * Republic of Norway: Christjen Sigurson continues his term as president of the Norwegian Republic. Norway produces the Knulleskipetditt-Class protected cruiser, deciding the Stejt-Class is unfit for patrolling the North Sea and the open waters. Three are produced. In the meantime, Norway sends troops to the cause in the Winter War, congratulating Iceland on a victory. Christjen Sigurdson states the necessity of good relations with Algonquia and Borealia following this war. "Now that we've settled these differences, let's get back to making money." There are currently 193 ships flying Norwegian colors.
 * Republic of Finland: Jonna Kekkonnen visits the Karelian cities this year. She wishes to improve the cities of Karelja, forming the Karelja Initiative. In the meantime, landlines to Sweden and Norway are proposed. Construction is mid-way by Christmas this year. She sends money and foodstuff to Helluland in the Winter War. The Anaalihävityksen-Class protected cruiser is commissioned, though Finland is more interested in buying used ships from the Nordic Revolutions where applicable. The city of Helsinki sees drastic growth this year as urbanization in Finland continues. Kekkekon continues to fight for women's rights. There are 73 ships in Finland's navy. In the meantime, seeing Reme's success with powered flight, Finland considers recreating the experiment.
 * Commonwealth of Iceland: Iceland's immediate concern, the Winter War, seems to be over. The people of Iceland rejoice. Literacy programs in Iceland begin. According to the Alting, too many people 'can't figure out how to spell our damn words right.' Reykyjavik sees improvements this year. The University of Reykyjavik opens its doors in 1881. The university is noted for being the 'North Pole of Academia.' Speaking of the North Pole, expeditions are sent to the Arctic ice cap to investigate the North Pole. The navy of Iceland improves, with the Augapóker-Class cruiser being released this year. Iceland wishes to increase relations with Algonquia and Borealia, offering to re-open the embassy in Helluland and Reykjavik.
 * Spain continues to prosper as a center of the arts and learning. The construction of new buildings, roads and other infrastructure continues. Spanish merchants and emissaries continue to sail around the world to expand the reach of Spain in terms of wealth and diplomatic connections. Spain also becomes a place where artists and intellectual minds meet and do things. It is cool. Due to the burgeoning growth of the economy, new jobs created in the five major cities led to more people moving to the cities. The buildings rise higher and the trains run faster, especially in the major cities such as Zaragoza, Barcelona and Madrid. Cars and railways and all sorts of cool modern stuff. Spain continues to lay claim to Antarctica. The construction of ships and weaponry continues. Boats and guns and cars. Spain begins to mass troops along the border with France and increases patrols around the entire coast of Spain. Spain continues to commission destroyers and increases the number of battle ready battleships in the Royal Armada. More artillery stuff. Carlo Ferreira continues to develop aeroplanes and makes great advances. The Spanish government condemns the Communist nations. Spain continues to seek out dissenters in Communist France to weaken the French government's strength. Spain continues to advocate the expansion of the anti-Communist League. The Spanish colony of West Africa expands 8000 sq km north in the west and east, totaling 16,000 sq km. Croats in Dahomey retain their rights. Dahomey expands 8000 sq km into the interior of Africa. The Spanish colony in southwest Africa expands 8000 sq km inland as well. Cars. Spain continues to develop better tanks. Also, Spain launches the super-dreadnought. Planes improve. Spain continues the Antarctica Conference. The borders of Spanish Africa begin to be redrawn to accommodate for colony size and ethnic differences. Spain knocks down the bitch ass rebels in Indonesia by way of massive ships and grand guns. The East Indies is restructured with a tighter government and stronger Spanish military presence. #NoMoreWikiaChanges
 * Algeria begins to near the Spanish level of military technology. Boats, guns, planes, cars, money.
 * Singapore also continues to develop naval technology to protect its economic interests with the aid of Spain. Singapore also greatly benefits from the newly re-invigorated trade in the region. Singapore continues to accumulate wealth as a center of trade and all that nonsense. Singapore is restored to the pre-rebellion status quo since there were no problems in Singapore.
 * STOP REFORMATTING MY POSTS, MOTHERFUCKER.
 * Roman Empire: The Empire is now at a period of peace and prosperity after a long period of war and uncertainty. Roman trade routes stretch across most of the world in the pursuit of wealth and trade goods and Roman military might remains a powerful force in Europe and other parts of the world. The Roman central government does what it can to address all of the issues of the various archonates within the Empire and ensure that their needs are met even as they help instill strength in the central government. Railroads are constructed around the nation to help connect the Empire and its peoples and steamships are used for much the same purpose on water. To further strengthen its position in Africa, the Roman government begins to make official claims in the Saharan desert north of Egypt's southern border. However, some in the Empire scoff at this, suggesting that the Empire is wasting its time claiming barren land and should focus on more resourceful areas of Africa, Asia or Europe. As European interest in Africa begins to heat up, Roman officials begin exploring possible resources or benefits from extended interaction with Madagascar, and trade and diplomats are directed there to assess the situation. Trade also expands with Hawaii, which becomes an impressive conduit of trade for Roman merchants and businesses. As such, the Empire takes an interest in Hawaii, but rather than try to annex it, as it is too far from Roman authority to do so, Roman officials instead would like to see a strong and friendly Hawaii. Weapons and officers are sent to Hawaii to help train their soldiers and protect their independence. The Roman Empire responds to the increased activity of Communist insurgency in other nations in Europe by adopting a more aggressive stance. Troops are sent to Gothia and Ruthenia to protect against potential Communist aggression from the north, and the Roman Empire begins making overtures toward Croatia, Transylvania and Vlachia to prepare their defences. The Roman Empire also deploys more troops to Italy to present a clear vanguard against potential aggression from Communist France or Lombardy, which is seen as soon falling to Communists while the Roman Empire is forbidden by treaty to intervene. The Roman Empire is concerned with the fall of the Tartary to the Communist hordes, and is particularly concerned that the Caliphate has aligned itself toward the hordes. Fears of being surrounded soon start to build up in the Roman government, and as a result the Roman government does what it can to help shore up its defenses both physical and diplomatic. The Roman Empire expands trade, industry and military training to members of the Holy League, hoping to create and re-inforce a stable and strong military alliance in the Empire's sphere of influence. The Roman Empire is forced to take drastic measures in recent years, as the expansion of Communism is considered unacceptable. Roman officials draft and generally pass Plan East, which calls for strengthening the Roman Empire's allies in the Holy League so they can protect the Roman Empire's flank while the Roman Empire concentrates on a potential eastern front. Military officers and engineers travel to Armenia, Georgia, Assyria, and Transylvania to train and improve those countries in all matters martial and industrial. The same goes for the Caliphate, hoping that the Caliphate would provide the crucial link in the chain for eastern defense. To further update the Empire's strength, the Roman Empire militarizes, and the Senate mandates that the Roman military be at a total size of 850,000 in peacetime and that a million man army must be able to be mobilized within a few weeks. Threats of Communism in Lombardy are too large to be ignored, so Roman forces militarize in Italy and pledge that no former treaty will hold Roman forces back if Lombardy becomes a clear threat. Remnants of the Vlachian government flee to the Roman Empire or Transylvania and call for intervention in Vlachia. Roman and Vlachian forces move in, securing the southern part of the country and stopping at the Wallachian-Moldavian border, as per the compromise between the Communists and Monarchists. Support for the true Vlachian government rises, and the Roman Empire provides the southern government the resources it needs to get itself back on its feet. To help stabilize its northern border, train cars full of weapons and ammo are sent to Croatia, hopefully to bolster that front. The rebel Syrians are seen as an annoyance, and as such local forces are tasked with putting them down. Troops are stationed in Syria after the cancellation of the supposed alliance, and alliances with Georgia and Assyria are affirmed again. Troops are sent to contain the uprising in Africa. This will all be fixed later, when I have time. 
 * Reme: Reme begins to build up its military and economy. Reme elects a new president and starts to build up its navy. Meanwhile, trade is improved on, with industrialization, mainly former Byzantine areas slowly being introduced to populous areas. Lumber, cash crops, and other goods become a major export of Reme, and starts getting Reme a jump-start into the European economy. There is also the creation of New navy ships, to help modernize the Reman navy. Coal mines are built, and starts churning out coal at a consistent rate. Coal mining plants are also started to be upgraded. Reme also starts very slowly changing its focus to industrial things, with a nationwide railroad being considered to be built. Industrialization of river areas continue, as well as the production of textiles to cheaper the price of Reman cotton. Meanwhile, a Socialist-based party starts to gain seats in parliament, with plans to make Reme a more self-sufficient state. People are getting anxious over the threat of Communism to Reme, and vote on the crackdown of Communist sympathizers and their families. The Reman government is pleased that Pearl River has voted to join the Empire, and promises that their rights and property will be maintained. The Reman military is improved a bit in an effort to hold up its part of the Fraternal Alliance. The Franqi brothers begin experimenting with the idea of heavier-than-air flight, but the task is daunting and will take some time to perfect a flying device. They manage to create a working model which flies for several seconds. However, it isn't impressive enough and they continue their work. Following the outbreak of war, the Reman Empire declares war on France and sends troops to help the Spanish in their front.
 * Protectorate of Wolof: Wolof begins to build up its military and economy. Reman food and supplies come in to help the formerly starving nation, as well as the Reman military to help sustain order. Some representation is given in the Reman Parliament, to give Wolof a minimal say in how Reme should be run. Meanwhile, plans to industrialize the coastal areas as well as plans for fortifications are presented, and are started being worked on.
 * <p style="font-size:16px;line-height:26px;">Andea:  Rapidly develops its industry. Industrial work becomes the most common field to work in. Average wage for industrial workers stands at 1000 reals, but the government set minimum wage stands at 400 reals. Yellow-Dog Contracts are officially outlawed this year in Andea. The military expands to include 650,000 men. With the outbreak of war overseas, the draft is enacted and funding is poured into military. The navy expands dramatically, with the inclusion of Dreadnoughts and Armored Cruisers making ironclads irrelevant. The Republican Party wins the Presidency, beating out the Nationals, Democrats, Hesperian, and the Progressives. This year sees the creation of the first movie theater in Andea, as well as the rise of consumer culture. The number of tanks is increased. We send 80,000 men and supplies to our Roman Allies. Population stands at 81 million. The Andean navy and air force expand as well. The machine pistol presented to the Andean military is named Apaec 1 repeating gun. The garrisons active in Cape Ferdinand and Sudafrica are activated to deal with the revolt.
 * Union of Sudafrica: more to be added later.

1922
''' Ethnic tensions in the Caliphate continue to grow as violence between the two groups grows. The violence escalates to the point of civil war.(Popular) '''

''' The Reformist Church of Latter Day Saints makes a resurgence in Southern and Central Borealia, spreading into Reme and some parts of Mexaca. '''
 * Netherlands: Nothing really. Eco and Mil.
 * Dutch France: Eco and Infra.
 * Luxembourg: Eco and Infra.
 * Ruthenia: The Ruthenians continue their industrial development as well as the research into airships.
 * Borealia_Flag_2.png Union of Borealia: Both the economy and military improve across all the provinces of the Union. The thriving industries now run entirely on petroleum, procured from the oil collected from Alaska and California. While the traditional hearts of each city, particularly New Vienna, continue to reflect the same idyllic Baroque style, newer expansions to these urban centers are packed with factories and other industrial equipment. Cities recently built in southern California and northern Alaska are much more developed, as some parts of the Kiatagmiut province are almost unrecognizable. The economy of the Union stems from the exportation of natural resources. San Francisco and Mamterlliq continue to be the main centers of the gold trade, while oil wells begin to speckle the coastal range of California. More oil wells are built in Upper Alaska, bringing entrepreneurs to that region. Large monopolies on lumber and animal products are also prevalent in Santiago and Pannenstiel. All of these businesses are connected with diesel trains that span the continent. As the various earlier philosophies continue to grow and factionalize, these turn into competing ideas that promote further progression and ingenuity from the younger generation. Films in color are becoming more popular. Electrical power continues to spread, although one scientist claims to have created better light by conducting gas. A theory of quanta is developed to explain phenomenon as smaller levels, and more theories follow to develop machines at this level. Tanks continue being developed. X-rays are being used to interpret internal injuries. Airplanes begin being built on the Remen design in Pannenstiel. We continue to uphold the New Munich Declaration along with Algonquia, Reme, Mexaca, and Arcadia. An organization for promoting peace in the Pacific is established, whose members currently include Korea, China and Ayutthaya. As more industrial goods continue to pour in from Reme, Borealian entrepreneurs begin selling more oil, gold, lumber, and livestock to the East Coast.  Industrial goods are sent to Brazil and China to improve their respective economies. In sympathy for the oppression of Communism in Europe, a small Communist Party emerges this year in New Vienna. These people are viewed suspiciously, however, as Communism usually has no place in Borealian culture. A new social movement called the Gothic Movement appears, so named because they stress the importance of the union looking back to their core roots as the colony of New Austria. They accuse the leaders of the Union as having shamelessly abusing the New Munich declaration to their advantage by making imperialist wars on neighboring nations since the 1870s. This movement is most popular among the younger generation. The Nivkh independence movement now encompasses most of California, and spreads to the rest of the union. The core members of the union begin to be more militant in their appeals to Japan.
 * The State of Australia: The state greatly increases this year by beginning joint control over the colony of New Mecklenburg, provided by Germany on the provision of ceding the whole colony by 1929. The capital of the state is centered at Dandiri (OTL Brisbane), which administer over all land settlements and the Luwrit Sea (OTL Tasman Sea). Schools and media centers are established that teach Borealianist philosophy along with essential education. Supplies and engineers are continually sent to the Timor Sultanate to improve their industry. Settlements begin to grow around the Lake Eyre region. With respect to the German colonial government, we ask Croatia to purchase the part of the outback north of Lake Eyre.
 * The Commonwealth of Oceana: Naval bases continue being built to enforce claims on several islands (from OTL Palau to Fiji). A major naval base is constructed on the Island of Midway in the Republic of Hawaii. Another major naval base is constructed in Fiji to complement the base on Midway. Exploration of West Antarctica continues. The nation considers expanding the Treaty of Midway over the waters within the Luwrit Sea. 
 * Colony of Kinshasa: With the incorporated French colony, continues to expand its lumber and mining companies with cheap labor picked up from surrounding natives. An organized government forms along with some small villages. The border expands inward 750 px.
 * Colony of North Antarctica: A small base is established on Antarctica's northernmost peninsula, inhabited only six months of the year. A lighthouse begins construction to aid shipping that travels south of Cape Horn.
 * Korea: Korea continues to build up its military. Meanwhile, more Taoist and Buddhist temples are built. Taoism rises in popularity and gains more followers. Regular (read: not Imperial) Shinto gains a few more followers as well, mainly along the coastline in Southeastern Korea, particularly in Busan, Jejudo, Ulsan, and the coastal cities and coastal towns of Southern Gyeongsang Province. Mahayana Tao-Shintoism also continues to grow, and begins gaining followers from the areas where Shinto is growing, with some Shintoists switching to Mahayana Tao-Shintoism. The military in the colony of Haejagang (해자강) continues to be on high alert and continues to heavily patrol the Korean settlements. Meanwhile, industrialisation and modernisation continues in Korea (similar to OTL Japan's Meiji Restoration). Monarch Hyomyeong continues investing in technology and science. The Hyundai Motor Company continues to build more cars.


 * Lombardy: Our military is continuing to increase due to technology becoming better. Factories still make weapons and vehicles for our military, but it is not the mostly made item. With the increase of factories in the nation, more jobs are being made. The employment rate has continued to increase in the nation. Agriculture is our best industry in the nation. The railway industry is continuing to work on improving the tracks. Doctors are now continue to use X-rays to see the inside of people. Cars are now being popular within the middle class people, and not just the rich society. Trade goes well with the Roman Empire. The navy continues to make ships for trade and for future tensions. We continue to build many buildings like hospitals, colleges and banks. With the occupation of Sardinia over, we leave our troops on the island. We try to annex Sardinia into our nation.
 * Emeraldie: The land forces stand at 90,000 men, with 70,000 in reserve, modernisation of the armed forces is completed. Vast industrial expansion occurs in the region following years of government encouragement and subsidies. We expand 800 px into the continent's interior. With the booming economy, the government begins investing heavily in education and infrastructure. In other news, the first domestically produced cars are built, with companies taking advantage of the growing petrol supply. The Royal Air Corps is expanded with new purpose built aircraft, it now includes 40 planes and four bomber Zeppelins. The world's first aircraft carrier is completed, christened HMES Charlemagne, it represents the pinnacle of naval aeronautics. In other news, the Royal Airship company is beginning building a system of routes connecting the major cities, with work starting on hangars and refuelling stations.
 * Emeraldie Pacific Territories: The territorial government is granted the ability to control a small armed force to maintain peace in the region and protect from native aggression, its current numbers are around 8000 men.

With this newfound financial prowess, the OHG board begins putting more money into the Konservativen political party, paying for expensive functions and hiring out large halls in which the politicians can speak. This activity is watched closely by the ruling Catholic-Socialist coalition, with the Premier, a Socialist, doing all he can to minimise the potential electoral impact of the Konservativen in the state election in a few years' time. Economy improves, Spitzbergen territory expands.

Whilst Oldenburg (and through it, Neu Norderney) has always been relatively tolerant of religious minorities for political expediency, the unorthodoxy and novelty of the sect draws the ire of the majority-Catholic country. Military improves.


 * Roman Empire: The Roman Empire continues to recover from the shock of the Great War, in which many good Romans died. The Empire also focuses on its internal security and stability after noticing the power of the revolt in Africa and remembering painful memories of revolts in Italy and Egypt. Economic and civic policy are seen as key to improving stability and cohesiveness in the Empire. With that said, the Empire does have several foreign policy successes to note as well, mainly the unification of the Tartary and the return of order in the steppes. Trade continues to go well and the military continues to have a major part of Roman society, and new weapons like tanks, planes, and better submarines now play a significant role in the way the Empire wages war.

1923
''' In late April, the Cuzco stock market crashes after riding high for an unprecedented number of months. Shortly after this, the stock market in Constantinople also plummets, sending shockwaves across Europe. By the end of the year, the economy of the world is slower and weaker than it was before. Many busineses go bankrupt, people lose savings in banks, and trade stalls. As a result, political instability rises and extremism on both sides of the political spectrum returns to plague governments. '''
 * Is this an attempt to recreate the Great Depression?


 * The Commomwealth Kingdoms: New Mecklenburg, Kameroon, and German West Africa expand by 750 px each. Soon after the Cuzco and Constantinople stock markets crash, the Lübeck stock market follows suit as trading grounds to a halt. The economy of the Kingdoms begins declining. Offers of alliance and economic cooperation are sent to Ande, Brazil, and Algonquia, with Emperor Friedrich saying now is a time where past differences are forgotten and international cooperation is needed.


 * Indian Empire: Queen Farah Shah was proclaimed the Empress of India in 1888, starting a new era. The Indian population rose to about 441,772,000, and the flocking of the people to coastal cities continued, with a mass increase of population in Kolkata, Mahmudpur, Karachi, Mumbai, Surat and various other minor cities and townships throughout the state. The Indian army, equipped with semi-modern armaments stood at 720,000 troops with an additional 250,000 reserves whilst the Imperial Guard was composed of 20,000 troops and the armament industry thrived on local and national level, with armaments rarely imported from foreign nations. The Indian navy experimented on ironclads and had started production of larger classes of steam engine ships, churning out first rate ironclads for various fleets, and more third rates, and fourth rates with the occasional second rate to augment the smaller patrol fleets with 40% of the national navy harboured at the Andaman and Kolkata ports. In agriculture was the largest economic focus of India, exporting various crops to foreign nations with the international jute and cotton textile production largely under Indian control. Along the same time, the Indian Renaissance were in full swing, with movements such as the Young India movement having aided in national modernisation and a massive rise in literacy and education, with major developments in Chemistry, Physics, Biology etc. Moreover, promotion of industrialisation and capitalism allowed the Imperial authorities to construct a Trans-National Railway, connecting the entire Empire as well as introduction of many other commodities such as telephones, bulbs, electricity. Jubilant crowds celebrate with the success of Operation Vijay, and nationalism reaches its peak, surpassing the one reached in the aftermath of the Great War. Many Muslims fascinated by the prospect of a Holy War press the regime to intervene in Persia. Finally on October 16th, the Indian Empire intervenes in Persia with a force of 400,000 men. [Mil/Eco Turn]
 * Khedivate of Bahamani: The Capital of Bahamani was Hyderabad and the population was 70.2 million. The Bahamani military was modernised, standing at roughly 80,000, with 15% of the national navy harboured at Bahamani ports. The Bahamani port cities of Mahmudpur played a major role in international trade due to its strategic position, competing against Caliphates ports. In the economic sector, rice played the role as a major food crop to be exported. However, other important crops such as cotton, sugar cane, mango and tobacco maintained a major presence in Bahamanis exports as well. About the same time, the Bahamani textile and fishery industries reached new heights.
 * Khedivate of Udaipur: The Capital of Udaipur was Ahmadabad and the population was 50.8 million.

However, other important crops such as tea, sugar cane, mango and tobacco maintained a major presence in Vijaynagars exports as well. About the same time, the Vijaynagari fishery and leather industries were of significant importance as well. The Hindu rebellion is completely squashed, with the success of Operation Vijay. Approximately 20.6 million people are killed out of which 45% died in Vijaynagar. The rest dying in Bahamani and/or surrounding areas.
 * Khedivate of Aceh Darrusalam: The Capital of Aceh was Banda and the population was 13.5 million. The Aceh military was modernised, standing at roughly 30,000 with 10% of the national navy harboured at Aceh ports. In the economic sector, rice played the role as a major food crop to be exported. However, other important crops such as tea, sugar cane, mango and tobacco maintained a major presence in Acehs exports as well. About the same time, the Aceh fishery, oil and mining industries were of significant importance as well. Major oil and gas reserves are discovered by Spanish and Indian experts in Aceh, who collaborate on the project as per the Treaty of Hague. With the arrival of the Juan Standardo Oilo Company, extraction of the oil begins. Indian geological experts continue to seek out oil deposits, as it is assumed that Aceh has potential for being rich in oil. 
 * Indian Overseas Territories: Naval bases continue to be built to enforce claims on several islands such as Mauritius, Seychelles, Tromelin and Reunion. The Indian Navy attempted to enforce complete control over the Indian Ocean, aggressively patrolling the sea to combat Somalian pirates.

Trade continues to go well and the military continues to have a major part of Roman society, and new weapons like tanks, planes, and better submarines now play a significant role in the way the Empire wages war. The financial crisis affects the Empire badly, and the economy suffers and many go without work. The current administration works to help mediate the crisis even though it knows its days are numbered. The civil war in the caliphate forces the Empire and its ally Assyria to be on guard. However, there are no current plans to get involved other than to increase security at the border.
 * Reme: Reme begins to build up its military and economy. Reme elects a new president and starts to build up its navy. Meanwhile, trade is improved on, with industrialization, mainly former Byzantine areas slowly being introduced to populous areas. Lumber, cash crops, and other goods become a major export of Reme, and starts getting Reme a jump-start into the European economy. There is also the creation of New navy ships, to help modernize the Reman navy. Coal mines are built, and starts churning out coal at a consistent rate. Coal mining plants are also started to be upgraded. Reme also starts very slowly changing its focus to industrial things, with a nationwide railroad being considered to be built. Industrialization of river areas continue, as well as the production of textiles to cheaper the price of Reman cotton. Meanwhile, a Socialist-based party starts to gain seats in parliament, with plans to make Reme a more self-sufficient state. People are getting anxious over the threat of Communism to Reme, and vote on the crackdown of Communist sympathizers and their families. The Reman government is pleased that Pearl River has voted to join the Empire, and promises that their rights and property will be maintained. The Reman military is improved a bit in an effort to hold up its part of the Fraternal Alliance. The economy suffers a great deal, and as a result the Socialists and outlawed Communists get a bit too eager in their expression that they have the correct answer, resulting in many demonstrations and some riots.
 * Protectorate of Wolof: Wolof begins to build up its military and economy. Reman food and supplies come in to help the formerly starving nation, as well as the Reman military to help sustain order. Some representation is given in the Reman Parliament, to give Wolof a minimal say in how Reme should be run. Meanwhile, plans to industrialize the coastal areas as well as plans for fortifications are presented, and are started being worked on.
 * Borealia_Flag_2.png Union of Borealia: Both the economy and military improve across all the provinces of the Union. The thriving industries now run entirely on petroleum, procured from the oil collected from Alaska and California. While the traditional hearts of each city, particularly New Vienna, continue to reflect the same idyllic Baroque style, newer expansions to these urban centers are packed with factories and other industrial equipment. Cities recently built in southern California and northern Alaska are much more developed, as some parts of the Kiatagmiut province are almost unrecognizable. The economy of the Union stems from the exportation of natural resources. San Francisco and Mamterlliq continue to be the main centers of the gold trade, while oil wells begin to speckle the coastal range of California. More oil wells are built in Upper Alaska, bringing entrepreneurs to that region. Large monopolies on lumber and animal products are also prevalent in Santiago and Pannenstiel. All of these businesses are connected with diesel trains that span the continent. As the various earlier philosophies continue to grow and factionalize, these turn into competing ideas that promote further progression and ingenuity from the younger generation. Films in color are becoming more popular. Electrical power continues to spread, although one scientist claims to have created better light by conducting gas. A theory of quanta is developed to explain phenomenon as smaller levels, and more theories follow to develop machines at this level. Tanks continue being developed. X-rays are being used to interpret internal injuries. Airplanes begin being built on the Remen design in Pannenstiel. We continue to uphold the New Munich Declaration along with Algonquia, Reme, Mexaca, and Arcadia. An organization for promoting peace in the Pacific is established, whose members currently include Korea, China and Ayutthaya. As more industrial goods continue to pour in from Reme, Borealian entrepreneurs begin selling more oil, gold, lumber, and livestock to the East Coast.  Industrial goods are sent to Brazil and China to improve their respective economies. In sympathy for the oppression of Communism in Europe, a small Communist Party emerges this year in New Vienna. These people are viewed suspiciously, however, as Communism usually has no place in Borealian culture. The Gothic movement is dominated by the Reformist Church, now led by their Prophet-President Ashiki Schmidt, Jr. from their headquarters in San Francisco. Great protests and demonstrations are held throughout Borealia, Mexaca and Reme, using the recent economic disaster as a sign of New Munich's moral failing. Charity work to help the impoverished are also created. New Norderney, a German state not part of New Munich, is pointed to by the Church as an example of a more centrally Gothic institution. The Nivkh independence movement also becomes dominant of most of Borealia, particularly among the Kiatagmiut who still remember their long lost ally. The core of the movement continues to become more militant, purchasing more firearms for themselves.
 * The State of Australia: The state greatly increases this year by beginning joint control over the colony of New Mecklenburg, provided by Germany on the provision of ceding the whole colony by 1929. The capital of the state is centered at Dandiri (OTL Brisbane), which administer over all land settlements and the Luwrit Sea (OTL Tasman Sea). Schools and media centers are established that teach Borealianist philosophy along with essential education. Supplies and engineers are continually sent to the Timor Sultanate to improve their industry. Settlements begin to grow around the Lake Eyre region. With respect to the German colonial government, we ask Croatia to purchase the part of the outback north of Lake Eyre.
 * The Commonwealth of Oceana: Naval bases continue being built to enforce claims on several islands (from OTL Palau to Fiji). A major naval base is constructed on the Island of Midway in the Republic of Hawaii. Another major naval base is constructed in Fiji to complement the base on Midway. Exploration of West Antarctica continues. The nation considers expanding the Treaty of Midway over the waters within the Luwrit Sea. 
 * Colony of Kinshasa: With the incorporated French colony, continues to expand its lumber and mining companies with cheap labor picked up from surrounding natives. An organized government forms along with some small villages. The border expands inward 750 px.
 * Colony of North Antarctica: A small base is established on Antarctica's northernmost peninsula, inhabited only six months of the year. A lighthouse begins construction to aid shipping that travels south of Cape Horn.
 * Ruthenia: The Ruthenians continue their industrial development as well as the research into airships.
 * Commonwealth Duchy of Oldenburg: The Cuzco-Constantinople Crashes are felt strongly in Oldenburg. The OHG's stock prices, at a record high, plummet in value. Most coal mines in Spitzbergen are closed, with the OHG no longer able to cover costs. Politically, the Crashes also cripple Big Business in Oldenburg. The OHG and Big Business-backed Konservativen lose the vast majority of their supporters virtually overnight, as the party's affiliation with the business community -which most, if not all, see as the cause of this mess- has lost it all of its credibility. There is a corresponding growth in support for the Communists which rise, Phoenix-like, from the Crashes' ashes. The economic downturn also causes the emergence of an alarming new political force. The Oldenburger Jewish community has long had great influence over financial institutions in Oldenburg, and the main bank, the Jade Bank, is mostly run and owned by Jews. Many average people who lost their savings in the Jade Bank turn their hatred toward the Jewish bank owners. A small party, the "Patriotic Front" is formed, which mixes anti-Semitic bigotry and violence with anti-capitalist economic policies. Whilst small, it becomes quite vocal and visible in Oldenburg City, with the main Synagogue's windows being smashed during a PF march. This violent anti-semitism is virtually unheard of in Oldenburg, since the Oldenburger Jewish community has long been praised for bringing Oldenburg into financial prosperity. The Premier calls snap elections in August to take advantage of the decline in popularity of the Konservativen, whilst also tactically acting quickly before the Communists and PF can properly organise themselves. The Catholic-Socialist coalition strengthens its position in the Landtag in the election, with only one Konservativ retaining their seat, a mere seven Communists gaining seats. Worrying, however, is the three inner-city seats gained by the PF.
 * Commonwealth Lordship of Neu Norderney: With the RCLDS becoming closely associated with the Gothic Movement (which is apparently pro-Neu Norderney), many Neu Norderners grow more accepting of the RCLDS within the state. This acceptance does not, for the most part, result in conversion to the new Church, although a few hundred in the West do convert. The Vrashes also hit Neu Norderney very hard. The economy is mainly driven by primary industry - logging, farming and fishing - and these suffer heavy losses.
 * Empire of Lanka: The Lankan government focuses on industrialization. Accelerated industrialization in Lanka continues. The Edict of 1891 and Waardige Accord stay in effect. Dutch architecture, arts and culture have had a permanent effect on Lankan culture, although Lankan culture still remains with its own identity. The army remains one of the most modern in Asia due to the permanent result of European military from the Dutch throughout the protectorate. As the populations move to the cities, more and more men are recruited in the Lankan army. The parliament enacts nationwide conscription to reform the military, requiring all able-bodied men above twenty-one need to have at least eight years in active service, following by three years in the reserves. As the populations move to the cities, more and more men are recruited in the Lankan army.
 * The most recent census taken in 1860, accounts for 2,992,224 citizens. The trade ports on the island remain in heavy use with expansion of trade in Asia. Significant urbanization causes the cities of Waardige, Sri Jaywardenepura Kotte, Kandy, Kalmunai, and Galle, to be flooded with people. Waardige continues to be a trade, technological and industrial center in Asia. The complex Waardige canal system sees fall in use as more and more it becomes outdated due to changes in ships. The Island Spoorwegmaatschappij starts massive construction of railroads across the islands. Religion in the empire continues to be mixed with the three main religions of Hinduism, Buddhism and Dutch Reformist being worshipped on the main island while there are a few animist natives on Nava Kotte. The Lankan navy still holds warships that were supplied during the protectoratecy. The provincie system instituted in 1773 is changed to be less feudal and more bureaucratic, which basically turns them into an administrative division. The the title of the head of the provincie is changed from Count to Emperor's Commissioner. The King's Commissioner is also the head of the parliament (provinciale staten) in the provincie. Along with there being provinciale statens, a main parliament is also created. This main parliament will be assembled on the Emperor's command, and is used to decide issues, create public projects, and pass laws for the whole empire. Last year the Emperor called the main parliament to discuss the issue of public education and the idea of the creating a constitution. The Emperor and the parliament passed the Compulsory Education Act of 1886, which states that education in Lanka for the ages of five to ten is compulsory. In elementary school the children learn Sinhala and Dutch (reading and writing) and basic mathematics. Also incorporated in this act is an edict against children working over thirteen hours a day. The Emperor and parliament also created a constitution that officially set up the bureaucratic system. Last year parliament wanted to start to pursue a policy of faster industrialization, and to do this they passed the Edict of 1888 which abolished the caste system and slavery as well. Lankan industrial funding is used to build factories in the capital first, and then creating factories across major cities in the empire. To assist accelerated industrialization, Lanka tries to define its national unity. The government establishes the national language to be Sinhalese,and enforces this in schools. Buddhism continues to be the national religion and is inserted into the national curriculum. Lanka starts massively producing and exporting cigars (and other uses for tobacco), rubber, and mining diamonds and other precious gems. Galle continues to be fit by the Germans to build ironclads. Ironclads continue being purchased from the Germans. Lanka signs an alliance and trade pact with Spain, and a separate trade pact is signed with India. Seeing international reactions on the Tamil language ban, the Emperor modifies the law in the Edict of 1904. The edict states that Tamil is allowed to be spoken everywhere, but only written in public places in Tamil majority areas, and on Tamil religious buildings. The Empire begins to modernize its military by purchasing weapons from Japan and Rome, and specifically the Maxim Gun from India. Lanka begins producing massive amounts of tea to export to Europe. The Compulsory Education Act of 1919was passed in parliament which extends compulsory education from the ages five to ten, to five to fifteen. The edict also lifts the fourteen hour ban on child labor, and instead makes it so children can only work on Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday, and Sunday, while school is hosted on Monday, Wednesday and Friday. The empire hasn't really adopted an official currency since the separation from the Dutch, currencies like the Guilder, Stavraton, Tanki, and Gintsuka would float around Lankan markets. As the world-wide market crash happens, it becomes more evident to the Emperor to adopt an official currency. The country begins to print and mint the Lankan Guilder. Industrialization continues, but at a slower rate due to the Lankan economy being tied to that of many other nations.
 * Republic of China: After years of isolationism and recovery from the defeat in the Sino-Japanese war and Chinese-Qinghai war, the PRC is hit yet again by another crisis. The current Global Depression forces us back into isolationism, despite our plan to invade Tibet. Meanwhile, during the isolationist years, a Centre-Right government has been elected. This new government, wanting to emerge from the crisis as an economic power, begins many austerity measures. The left, angry with this, protests and these protests are crushed by the police, sparking major civil unrest which is put down.
 * Emeraldie: The land forces stand at 90,000 men, with 70,000 in reserve, modernisation of the armed forces is completed. Vast industrial expansion occurs in the region following years of government encouragement and subsidies. We expand 800 px into the continent's interior. With the booming economy, the government begins investing heavily in education and infrastructure. In other news, the first domestically produced cars are built, with companies taking advantage of the growing petrol supply. The Royal Air Corps is expanded with new purpose built aircraft, it now includes 40 planes and four bomber Zeppelins. The world's first aircraft carrier is completed, christened HMES Charlemagne, it represents the pinnacle of naval aeronautics. In other news, the Royal Airship company is beginning building a system of routes connecting the major cities, with work starting on hangars and refuelling stations.
 * Emeraldie Pacific Territories: The territorial government is granted the ability to control a small armed force to maintain peace in the region and protect from native aggression, its current numbers are around 8000 men.
 * Spain:  Continues to prosper as a center of the arts and learning. The construction of new buildings, roads and other infrastructure continues. Spanish merchants and emissaries continue to sail around the world to expand the reach of Spain in terms of wealth and diplomatic connections. Spain also becomes a place where artists and intellectual minds meet and do things. It is cool. The buildings rise higher and the trains run faster, especially in the major cities such as Zaragoza, Barcelona and Madrid. Cars and railways and all sorts of cool modern stuff. Spain continues to lay claim to Antarctica. The construction of ships and weaponry continues. Boats and guns and cars. Spain begins to mass troops along the border with France and increases patrols around the entire coast of Spain. Spain continues to commission destroyers and increases the number of battle ready ships in the Royal Armada. More artillery stuff. Carlo Ferreira continues to develop aeroplanes and makes great advances. The Spanish colony of West Africa expands 8000 sq km north in the west and east, totaling 16,000 sq km. Croats in Dahomey retain their rights. Dahomey expands 8000 sq km into the interior of Africa. The Spanish colony in southwest Africa expands 8000 sq km inland as well. Cars. Spain continues to develop better tanks. Also, Spain launches more super-dreadnoughts. Planes improve. The Madrid Stock Exchange is hit by the economic crisis that attacked Cuzco and Constantinople. Spanish people begin withdrawing money from banks, so the government closes banks, declaring a Bank Holiday to prevent total loss of money in banks. #NoMoreWikiaChanges


 * Algeria: Begins to near the Spanish level of military technology. Boats, guns, planes, cars, money. Algeria is affected by the crisis in Spain.
 * Singapore: Also continues to develop naval technology to protect its economic interests with the aid of Spain. Singapore is affected by the economic crisis in Spain, but to a smaller degree, so the Singapore government moves fast to put security measures in place to prevent further losses.


 * <p style="font-size:16px;line-height:26px;">Andea:  Andea's economic growth grinds to a halt with the recent stock market crash. The stock market crash in itself would be managable if not for a massive panic triggered in its wake. Very quickly, the Andean banks begin to fail. The governemnt quickly cuts naval funding and pours money into the failing system, hoping to rescue it. Funding for the ANA (Andean National Army) and Marine core remains steady despite the economic hardship. The Machine Pistol is officially adopted as part of the Andean Army and Marines. The National Guard responds to a massive protest in Arequipa, quickly dispersing the protesters.


 * Union of Sudafrica: The nation continues to see expansions in military, navy and industry. Despite the economic hardships, the literacy and health of the colony expand drastically.

1924
''' In Sardinia, a dispute between a French businessman and a Lombard army captain ends poorly, ending with the Frenchman and three bystander French citizens being shot down, escalating tensions further regarding the already disputed island. '''

''' Following the financial crisis, Socialists and Communists start causing trouble up north in Arcadia, raising issues between them and the local Reman authorities. '''

''' Olympic Results soon. '''


 * Commonwealth Kingdoms: New Mecklenburg, Kameroon, and German West Africa expand by 750 px each. The economic depression continues, and seems to worsen as the year goes on. Unemployment is believed to have reached 15% this year, and shows no signs of slowing. The government begins considering exporting the growing reserves of oil from New Mecklenburg in an attempt to spur the economy. Andea, Brazil, and Algonquia are again sent the offer of alliance and economic cooperation from last year.


 * Korea: Korea continues to build up its military. Meanwhile, more Taoist and Buddhist temples are built. Taoism rises in popularity and gains more followers. Regular (read: not Imperial) Shinto gains a few more followers as well, mainly along the coastline in Southeastern Korea, particularly in Busan, Jejudo, Ulsan, and the coastal cities and coastal towns of Southern Gyeongsang Province. Mahayana Tao-Shintoism also continues to grow, and begins gaining followers from the areas where Shinto is growing, with some Shintoists switching to Mahayana Tao-Shintoism. The military in the colony of Haejagang (해자강) continues to be on high alert and continues to heavily patrol the Korean settlements. Meanwhile, industrialisation and modernisation continues in Korea (similar to OTL Japan's Meiji Restoration). Monarch Hyomyeong continues investing in technology and science. The Hyundai Motor Company continues to build more cars.
 * Borealia_Flag_2.png Union of Borealia: Both the economy and military improve across all the provinces of the Union.

These people are viewed suspiciously, however, as Communism usually has no place in Borealian culture. The Gothic movement continues to protest, considering themselves an authority on the moral failings of the continent, and offer support to the rebels in Arcadia. Local authorities in the union grow concerned. The Reformist Church in New Norderney competes in popularity with the Socialist Catholics, seeing them as an enmity against the Goths, particularly in Borealia. Some Reformists begin preaching that the end of the world is near. The Nivkh independence movement also becomes dominant of most of Borealia, particularly among the Kiatagmiut who still remember their long lost ally. The core of the movement continues to become more militant, purchasing more firearms for themselves. They issue Japan a final warning to release their people.
 * The State of Australia: The state greatly increases this year by beginning joint control over the colony of New Mecklenburg, provided by Germany on the provision of ceding the whole colony by 1929.

 * Colony of North Antarctica: A small base is established on Antarctica's northernmost peninsula, inhabited only six months of the year. A lighthouse begins construction to aid shipping that travels south of Cape Horn.


 * Lombardy: Our military is continuing to increase due to technology becoming better. Factories still make weapons and vehicles for our military, but it is not the mostly made item. With the increase of factories in the nation, more jobs are being made. The employment rate has continued to increase in the nation. Agriculture is our best industry in the nation. The railway industry is continuing to work on improving the tracks. Doctors are now continue to use X-rays to see the inside of people. Cars are now being popular within the middle class people, and not just the rich society. Trade goes well with the Roman Empire. The navy continues to make ships for trade and for future tensions. We continue to build many buildings like hospitals, colleges and banks. This is the third straight year we slowly annex Sardinia into our nation. Due to the problem in Sardinia, both the Frenchman and the Italian captain are put into jail. Prince Mario's son Antonio is born.
 * Ruthenia: The Ruthenians continue their industrial development as well as the research into airships.
 * Repulic of China: The austerity measures continue, unopposed, and greatly improve the economy. With our new economy, we begin to pour money into our armed forces, building them up to a force of three million. Meanwhile, we offer bailout to some failing Chinese states with fragile economies, warning them of the current Global Depression, if they will essentially become a ROC puppet, hoping to gain control of China through diplomacy this time. We also prepare for an invasion of Tibet, massing troops on the border.
 * Emeraldie: The land forces stand at 90,000 men, with 70,000 in reserve, modernisation of the armed forces is completed. Vast industrial expansion occurs in the region following years of government encouragement and subsidies. We expand 800 px into the continent's interior. With the booming economy, the government begins investing heavily in education and infrastructure.

The world's first aircraft carrier is completed, christened HMES Charlemagne, it represents the pinnacle of naval aeronautics. The government begins in acting austerity to prevent the nation from becoming bankrupt. Despite this, however, the Royal Airship Company begins its first flights across the nation.
 * Emeraldie Pacific Territories: The territorial government is granted the ability to control a small armed force to maintain peace in the region and protect from native aggression, its current numbers are around 8000 men.
 * Commonwealth Duchy of Oldenburg: The economy remains in a poor state, with more people becoming unemployed by the week. The Patriotic Front slowly gains membership and momentum, much to the dismay of most right-minded Oldenburgers.
 * Commonwealth Lordship of Neu Norderney: The RCLDS does make some small gains in the West of the country, but despite Borealian-Gothic propaganda claims, it is not in a position to "compete in popularity" with the Catholic Church, which is firmly established in most of Neu Norderney. The Catholic-Socialist coalition government vows to be tougher on businesses in the future, but for now, it focuses on supporting those made unemployed through benefits and job creation (on large public projects like bridges).
 * Ban Republic of Croatia (Banska Republika Hrvatska): Sewerage systems similar to Ragusan ones are built in major towns of theBan Republic. With growing Ragusan influence, and the beginning of further colonization, the navy expands rapidly using much of the Ragusan expertise. Moreover, with the influx of new resources in form of lumber, labour and metals, the navy begins expanding at a fast rate. More and more ships capable of crossing the Atlantic with ease are built. The Sabor intends to restore the glorious naval culture of the Neretva peoples and plans to do so by expanding the navy. The kravata (tie) is more and more used as an accessory. Trade routes are strengthened and the salt mines around Tuzla are explored as well as the salt industry in Pag and Nin. Using irrigation from the Danube, Sava, Drava, Drina, Cetina, Una, Vrbaš, Kupa, Neretva and other rivers the fields in the kingdom are developed, used for crops such as wheat, rye and barley. With trade routes increasing and Croatia entering an era of peace and of stability, the development of new trade ships is issued. Stone mining is furthered as well as the timber industry. The need for these resources rises as urbanization carries on. Iron ores in Dugopolje, Zenice and at last the 'mud' ore in Vojvodina and Eastern Slavonia are to be exploited alongside the silver and copper ores more frequently and of better quality than the iron ores. The exploitation of iron ores in the Lika and Gorski kotar areas continues. The salt industry in Ston is funded by the government. The influx of resources from Dahomey aids the economy. However, the government makes sure that the gold arriving isn't immediately put on the market in order to control the inflation in the worth of gold. The silver mine in Srebrenica is mined. Kotor Saraka (Adelaide) continues to expand. Draganić continues his research. 
 * Isles of the Archvoivodeship (Otoci Nadvojvodstva): The infrastructure is built up.
 * Ban Republic of Carantania (Banska Republika Karantanija): Being Alpine Slavic nation, the leaders begin a programme to create a standardized Carantanian language that will reflect on both the Slavic and Alpine (Germanic) aspects of Carantania.
 * Sukadang Županija: Croatization. Expansion onto the other parts of Borneo.
 * Croatian Africa: Continues to expand.
 * White Croatia: Large-scale Croatization, numerous harsh measures are introduced to ensure White Croatia is Croatian.
 * Roman Empire: The Roman Empire continues to recover from the shock of the Great War, in which many good Romans died. The Empire also focuses on its internal security and stability after noticing the power of the revolt in Africa and remembering painful memories of revolts in Italy and Egypt. Economic and civic policy are seen as key to improving stability and cohesiveness in the Empire. With that said, the Empire does have several foreign policy successes to note as well, mainly the unification of the Tartary and the return of order in the steppes. Trade continues to go well and the military continues to have a major part of Roman society, and new weapons like tanks, planes, and better submarines now play a significant role in the way the Empire wages war. The financial crisis affects the Empire badly, and the economy suffers and many go without work. The current administration works to help mediate the crisis even though it knows its days are numbered. The civil war in the caliphate forces the Empire and its ally Assyria to be on guard. However, there are no current plans to get involved other than to increase security at the border.
 * Reme: Reme begins to build up its military and economy. Reme elects a new president and starts to build up its navy. Meanwhile, trade is improved on, with industrialization, mainly former Byzantine areas slowly being introduced to populous areas. Lumber, cash crops, and other goods become a major export of Reme, and starts getting Reme a jump-start into the European economy. There is also the creation of New navy ships, to help modernize the Reman navy. Coal mines are built, and starts churning out coal at a consistent rate. Coal mining plants are also started to be upgraded. Reme also starts very slowly changing its focus to industrial things, with a nationwide railroad being considered to be built. Industrialization of river areas continue, as well as the production of textiles to cheaper the price of Reman cotton. Meanwhile, a Socialist-based party starts to gain seats in parliament, with plans to make Reme a more self-sufficient state. People are getting anxious over the threat of Communism to Reme, and vote on the crackdown of Communist sympathizers and their families. The Reman government is pleased that Pearl River has voted to join the Empire, and promises that their rights and property will be maintained. The Reman military is improved a bit in an effort to hold up its part of the Fraternal Alliance. The economy suffers a great deal, and as a result the Socialists and outlawed Communists get a bit too eager in their expression that they have the correct answer, resulting in many demonstrations and some riots.
 * Protectorate of Wolof: Wolof begins to build up its military and economy. Reman food and supplies come in to help the formerly starving nation, as well as the Reman military to help sustain order. Some representation is given in the Reman Parliament, to give Wolof a minimal say in how Reme should be run. Meanwhile, plans to industrialize the coastal areas as well as plans for fortifications are presented, and are started being worked on.
 * Spain  continues to prosper as a center of the arts and learning despite economic hardship. The construction of new buildings, roads and other infrastructure continues. but government funded projects end as the government begins using money in other places in an effort to save the falling economy. Spanish businesses expand across Spanish territories and into other nations. The buildings rise higher and the trains run faster, especially in the major cities such as Zaragoza, Barcelona and Madrid. Cars and planes and all sorts of cool modern stuff. Spain continues to lay claim to Antarctica. The construction of ships and weaponry continues. Boats and guns and cars. Spain increases the number of battle-ready ships in the Royal Armada, although at a much slower rate as the new government cuts military spending down to 60%. More automatic weaponry stuff. The Spanish colony of West Africa expands 8000 sq km north in the west and east, totaling 16,000 sq km. Croats in Dahomey retain their rights. Dahomey expands 8000 sq km into the interior of Africa. The Spanish colony in southwest Africa expands 8000 sq km inland as well. Spain continues to develop better tanks. Planes improve. The economic recession leads to massive upheaval across Spain as the Moderates become the majority party in Spanish government. Fortunata Cardona becomes the Prime Minister and begins enacting measures that he believes will save the Spanish economy and lift it from the recession, and hopes that progress made in Spain will help other nations recover as well. #NoMoreWikiaChanges


 * Algeria begins to feel the effects of the recession in Spain. Algerian banks lose money fast, since they did not place security measures in place as soon as possible, unlike Singapore. Boats, guns, planes, cars, money.
 * Singapore also continues to develop naval technology to protect its economic interests with the aid of Spain. Singapore is affected by the economic crisis in Spain, but to a smaller degree, so the Singapore government moves fast to put security measures in place to prevent further losses.
 * Brazil: Settlement of Brazil’s new African territories is encouraged, especially in Porto Natal, Porto Centauro (Richard’s Bay), named for military leader Manuel Marques de Sousa, Barreto (Pietermaritzburg), named for José Luís Mena Barreto, Vila João (Johannesburg), named for King João of Guiana, and Vinicia (Pretoria). With the threat of the Zulu eliminated diamond and gold industries can be fully exploited, and a mass immigration occurs to the region from other portions of South Africa, Hesperia and Europe. The Embraer C-9 continues heavy production and use across the nation. Development of a light armoured reconnaissance vehicle begins to be employed in South Africa primarily. A partnership between the company Ed Ferreirinha & Irmão, an automotive business founded by race car driver Eduardo Ferreirinha, and foreign car manufacturers leads to the creation of Brazil’s first domestic car company. The ensuing brand becomes known as Ferreirinha, and begins mass producing domestic vehicles for the Brazilian population. One of the company’s rivals, União Metalo-Mecânica, catches the attention of the government by creating the Metralhadora Carro, or União MC-I, the first armoured reconnaissance vehicle for the Brazilian military. The first Brazilian tank, the Armadura-I, is also created. The tank is equipped with seven to thirteen millimeter armor, two 7.92 millimeter machine guns, and powered by a four cylinder air-cooled gasoline engine to reach a speed of about fifty kilometers per hour on road. The independent colony of Bechuanaland is created as a collection of colonies and settlements in OTL Botswana, and becomes the third official state in the Transvaal Union. Each colony is expected to have the ability to raise an independent army, which is under the direct control of a central authority in Vinicia, Solumbuso.


 * <p style="font-size:16px;line-height:26px;">Andea:  Andea's economic growth grinds to a halt with the recent stock market crash. The stock market crash in itself would be managable if not for a massive panic triggered in its wake. Very quickly, the Andean banks begin to fail. The governemnt quickly cuts naval funding and pours money into the failing system, hoping to rescue it. Funding for the ANA (Andean National Army) and Marine core remains steady despite the economic hardship. The Machine Pistol is officially adopted as part of the Andean Army and Marines. The National Guard responds to a massive protest in Arequipa, quickly dispersing the protesters.


 * Union of Sudafrica: The nation continues to see expansions in military, navy and industry. Despite the economic hardships, the literacy and health of the colony expand drastically.

1925
''' Communists and some of their socialist allies revolt in Arcadia in the Reman Empire. (Non-Popular) '''
 * Indian Empire: Queen Farah Shah was proclaimed the Empress of India in 1888, starting a new era. The Indian population rose to about 441,772,000, and the flocking of the people to coastal cities continued, with a mass increase of population in Kolkata, Mahmudpur, Karachi, Mumbai, Surat and various other minor cities and townships throughout the state. The Indian army, equipped with semi-modern armaments stood at 720,000 troops with an additional 250,000 reserves whilst the Imperial Guard was composed of 20,000 troops and the armament industry thrived on local and national level, with armaments rarely imported from foreign nations. The Indian navy experimented on ironclads and had started production of larger classes of steam engine ships, churning out first rate ironclads for various fleets, and more third rates, and fourth rates with the occasional second rate to augment the smaller patrol fleets with 40% of the national navy harboured at the Andaman and Kolkata ports. In agriculture was the largest economic focus of India, exporting various crops to foreign nations with the international jute and cotton textile production largely under Indian control. Along the same time, the Indian Renaissance were in full swing, with movements such as the Young India movement having aided in national modernisation and a massive rise in literacy and education, with major developments in Chemistry, Physics, Biology etc. Moreover, promotion of industrialisation and capitalism allowed the Imperial authorities to construct a Trans-National Railway, connecting the entire Empire as well as introduction of many other commodities such as telephones, bulbs, electricity. India develops its first bomber plane, the IA-33. Along the same time, companies producing military weapons start to grow throughout India. The state passes the Imperial Edict of 1925 which deals with a series of subjects involving compulsory education till the age of 16, the general population being prohibited from possessing any armaments, introduction of elections on local level, ban upon the preaching of Communism, ban upon preaching of extremism in Hindu temples, pro-monarchy stuff taught in school. 
 * Khedivate of Bahamani: The Capital of Bahamani was Hyderabad and the population was 70.2 million. The Bahamani military was modernised, standing at roughly 80,000, with 15% of the national navy harboured at Bahamani ports. The Bahamani port cities of Mahmudpur played a major role in international trade due to its strategic position, competing against Caliphates ports. In the economic sector, rice played the role as a major food crop to be exported. However, other important crops such as cotton, sugar cane, mango and tobacco maintained a major presence in Bahamanis exports as well. About the same time, the Bahamani textile and fishery industries reached new heights.
 * Khedivate of Udaipur: The Capital of Udaipur was Ahmadabad and the population was 50.8 million. The Udaipuri military was modernised, standing at roughly 160,000, with 20% of the national navy harboured at Bahamani ports. The Udaipuri port cities of Karachi and Surat played a major role in international trade due to their strategic position, competing against Caliphates ports. In the economic sector, wheat played the role as a major food crop to be exported. However, other important crops such as rice, cotton, cotton and ruits maintained a major presence in Udaipurs exports as well. About the same time, the Udaipur fishery, sugar and leather industries were of significant importance as well.
 * Khedivate of Vijaynagar: The Capital of Vijaynagar was Coimbatore and the population was 30.4 million. The Vijaynagari military was modernised, standing at roughly 120,000 with 15% of the national navy harboured at Vijaynagari ports. The Vijaynagari port city of Chennai played a major role in international trade due to its strategic position, competing against Lankan ports. In the economic sector, rice played the role as a major food crop to be exported. However, other important crops such as tea, sugar cane, mango and tobacco maintained a major presence in Vijaynagars exports as well. About the same time, the Vijaynagari fishery and leather industries were of significant importance as well.
 * Khedivate of Aceh Darrusalam: The Capital of Aceh was Banda and the population was 13.5 million. The Aceh military was modernised, standing at roughly 30,000 with 10% of the national navy harboured at Aceh ports. In the economic sector, rice played the role as a major food crop to be exported. However, other important crops such as tea, sugar cane, mango and tobacco maintained a major presence in Aceh's exports as well. About the same time, the Aceh fishery, oil and mining industries were of significant importance as well. Major oil and gas reserves are discovered by Spanish and Indian experts in Aceh, who collaborate on the project as per the Treaty of Hague. With the arrival of the Juan Standardo Oilo Company, extraction of the oil begins. Indian geological experts continue to seek out oil deposits, as it is assumed that Aceh has potential for being rich in oil.
 * Indian Overseas Territories: Naval bases continue to be built to enforce claims on several islands such as Mauritius, Seychelles, Tromelin and Reunion. The Indian Navy attempted to enforce complete control over the Indian Ocean, aggressively patrolling the sea to combat Somalian pirates.
 * Indian - Croatian Diplomacy: The Empire of India requests the Ban Republic of Croatia to return the enclave of Goa to Indian authorities in order to fulfill the Imperial Edict of 1907.
 * Caliphate drastically improves infrastructure, industry and economy. As we seek to protect our possesions, we become less expansionist into foreign cultures and lands. We continue westernization efforts especially in urban, developed regions, such as Baghdad. As with every year, we maintain our two Holy cities and donate a small amount of our income to charity, especially to the poor: beggars, widows, and more of the like. We maintain our military, but the military becomes less emphasized with the signing of the pan-Asian pact, which protects the Caliphate from any foreign invasion and threats. We improve relations with the Afghans, hoping to bring them into the Pact in the near future. With the death of Caliph Hakeem bin Malik many of our young citizens call him the "Magnificent", specifically for his republican reforms, implementing the Shura. With the westernization and increasing democratic power, we begin, on a small scale, implementing railroads, especially connecting urban cities and regions. We also begin construction on large-scale of an Ironclad fleet, in order to combat the Roman fleet. With the full implementation and the construction of roads, postal service, railroads, transportation and news travels faster than ever, allowing the unity of the Caliphate. We begin to encourage urban cities sto start developing their own newspapers, as along with the arrival of radios into the Caliphate, due to the Westernization Effort. We continue to support the idea of the Caliphate as a pan-Islamic state, not Pan-Arabic. The Government completely reforms, seeking Hakeem's dream of a truly democratic Caliphate. A new office is created: Sultan. The Caliph becomes only the religious leader of the Caliphate, whose position is heredity, with the Sultan being elected from the Shura. The Caliphate begins to become federalized, with every province of the Caliphate holding a small amount of power. We continue to attempt to convert Shia Muslims, even bribing local religious leaders to begin to teach Sunni beliefs. With the war against the Romans ending with status quo ante bellum and restoration of all previous treaties, the Caliphate becomes desperate to look for new wealth. With oil found in Persia, and predictions of an even greater oil field by Borealian geologists, the Caliphate offers to grant Borealian companies 20% of all profits from oil sales for 15 years, starting from the year the Caliphate first starts exporting oil. The Caliphate continues to head to democracy with the foundation set by Caliph Hakeem. The Caliphate continues promoting Arab, Persian, Swahili and Turkic culture.
 * Korea: Korea continues to build up its military. Meanwhile, more Taoist and Buddhist temples are built. Taoism rises in popularity and gains more followers. Regular (read: not Imperial) Shinto gains a few more followers as well, mainly along the coastline in Southeastern Korea, particularly in Busan, Jejudo, Ulsan, and the coastal cities and coastal towns of Southern Gyeongsang Province. Mahayana Tao-Shintoism also continues to grow, and begins gaining followers from the areas where Shinto is growing, with some Shintoists switching to Mahayana Tao-Shintoism. The military in the colony of Haejagang (해자강) continues to be on high alert and continues to heavily patrol the Korean settlements. Meanwhile, industrialisation and modernisation continues in Korea (similar to OTL Japan's Meiji Restoration). Monarch Hyomyeong continues investing in technology and science. The Hyundai Motor Company continues to build more cars.
 * United Nordic Republics
 * ​Republic of Denmark: Denmark capitalizes on the fall of Pskov. With money flowing into the Kattegat and out of Pskovian wallets, there is one undoubted ruler of the Baltic Seas now. Former Communists flee to Jutland since Denmark is a Socialist state. Prime Minister Albert Wagner celebrates the end of the Great War, condemning Communism as a perversion of state-sponsored welfare. He worries that the actions of France have harmed Socialist movements in Europe, setting them back decades. In the meantime, a new destroyer is added to the Danish navy. There are over 113 ships in total flying Danish colors.
 * Republic of Sweden: Sweden also sees profit in the fall of Pskov. With money flowing into the Kattegat and out of Pskovian wallets, there is one undoubted ruler of the Baltic Seas now. Telephone lines are built in Sweden as electricity is brought to the northern cities and towns of Sweden. The Republic of Sweden commissions two destroyers into the Swedish fleet. There are now over 200 ships flying Swedish colors. Sweden offers to westernize the Caliphate in exchange for oil.
 * Republic of Norway: Christjen Sigurson continues his term as president of the Norwegian Republic. Norway produces the Knulleskipetditt-Class protected cruiser, deciding the Stejt-Class is unfit for patrolling the North Sea and the open waters. Three are produced. In the meantime, Norway sends troops to the cause in the Winter War, congratulating Iceland on a victory. Christjen Sigurdson states the necessity of good relations with Algonquia and Borealia following this war. "Now that we've settled these differences, let's get back to making money." There are currently 193 ships flying Norwegian colors.
 * Republic of Finland: Jonna Kekkonnen visits the Karelian cities this year. She wishes to improve the cities of Karelja, forming the Karelja Initiative. In the meantime, landlines to Sweden and Norway are proposed. Construction is mid-way by Christmas this year. She sends money and foodstuff to Helluland in the Winter War. The Anaalihävityksen-Class protected cruiser is commissioned, though Finland is more interested in buying used ships from the Nordic Revolutions where applicable. The city of Helsinki sees drastic growth this year as urbanization in Finland continues. Kekkekon continues to fight for women's rights. There are 73 ships in Finland's navy. In the meantime, seeing Reme's success with powered flight, Finland considers recreating the experiment.
 * Commonwealth of Iceland: Iceland's immediate concern, the Winter War, seems to be over. The people of Iceland rejoice. Literacy programs in Iceland begin. According to the Alting, too many people 'can't figure out how to spell our damn words right.' Reykyjavik sees improvements this year. The University of Reykyjavik opens its doors in 1881. The university is noted for being the 'North Pole of Academia.' Speaking of the North Pole, expeditions are sent to the Arctic ice cap to investigate the North Pole. The navy of Iceland improves, with the Augapóker-Class cruiser being released this year. Iceland wishes to increase relations with Algonquia and Borealia, offering to re-open the embassy in Helluland and Reykjavik.
 * Commonwealth Duchy of Oldenburg: The economy remains stagnant, but unemployment seems to be steadying. The government begins a tranche of reforms, nationalising many vital means of production and providing more jobs. Emigration to Neu Norderney rises. The Patriotic Front continues to slowly gain prominence.
 * Commonwealth Lordship of Neu Norderney: The government embarks on a grand project in the west of the country to provide jobs: building a hydroelectric dam. It is hoped that the thousands of new jobs, and the eventual free source of electricity will help the economy's recovery.


 * Lombardy: Our military is continuing to increase due to technology becoming better. Factories still make weapons and vehicles for our military, but it is not the mostly made item. With the increase of factories in the nation, more jobs are being made. The employment rate has continued to increase in the nation. Agriculture is our best industry in the nation. The railway industry is continuing to work on improving the tracks. Doctors are now continue to use X-rays to see the inside of people. Cars are now being popular within the middle class people, and not just the rich society. Trade goes well with the Roman Empire. The navy continues to make ships for trade and for future tensions. We continue to build many buildings like hospitals, colleges and banks. This is the fourth straight year we slowly annex Sardinia into our nation.
 * Borealia_Flag_2.png Union of Borealia: Both the economy and military improve across all the provinces of the Union. The thriving industries now run entirely on petroleum, procured from the oil collected from Alaska and California. While the traditional hearts of each city, particularly New Vienna, continue to reflect the same idyllic Baroque style, newer expansions to these urban centers are packed with factories and other industrial equipment. Cities recently built in southern California and northern Alaska are much more developed, as some parts of the Kiatagmiut province are almost unrecognizable. The economy of the Union stems from the exportation of natural resources. San Francisco and Mamterlliq continue to be the main centers of the gold trade, while oil wells begin to speckle the coastal range of California. More oil wells are built in Upper Alaska, bringing entrepreneurs to that region. Large monopolies on lumber and animal products are also prevalent in Santiago and Pannenstiel. All of these businesses are connected with diesel trains that span the continent. As the various earlier philosophies continue to grow and factionalize, these turn into competing ideas that promote further progression and ingenuity from the younger generation. Films in color are becoming more popular. Electrical power continues to spread, although one scientist claims to have created better light by conducting gas. A theory of quanta is developed to explain phenomenon as smaller levels, and more theories follow to develop machines at this level. Tanks continue being developed. X-rays are being used to interpret internal injuries. Airplanes begin being built on the Remen design in Pannenstiel. We continue to uphold the New Munich Declaration along with Algonquia, Reme, Mexaca, and Arcadia. An organization for promoting peace in the Pacific is established, whose members currently include Korea, China and Ayutthaya. As more industrial goods continue to pour in from Reme, Borealian entrepreneurs begin selling more oil, gold, lumber, and livestock to the East Coast.  Industrial goods are sent to Brazil and China to improve their respective economies. In sympathy for the oppression of Communism in Europe, a small Communist Party emerges this year in New Vienna. These people are viewed suspiciously, however, as Communism usually has no place in Borealian culture. The Gothic movement insists on aiding the rebels in Arcadia, as they see the old destruction of Arcadia to be a violation of their rights. The Curia remains neutral, but tells Reme that they will help put down the rebels in exchange for purchasing parts of Texas, which would give Borealia a port on the Atlantic (Mod response). The Reformist Church continues to grow in the continent, leading many relief efforts for the poor and preaching that the second coming of Christ will come in this generation. In order to neutralize the Nivkh independence movement, the Curia offers to sell Japan the Mariana Islands if they agree to grant the Nivkh semi-independence under Japanese control (MOD RESPONSE PLEASE).
 * The State of Australia: The state greatly increases this year by beginning joint control over the colony of New Mecklenburg, provided by Germany on the provision of ceding the whole colony by 1929. The capital of the state is centered at Dandiri (OTL Brisbane), which administer over all land settlements and the Luwrit Sea (OTL Tasman Sea). Schools and media centers are established that teach Borealianist philosophy along with essential education. Supplies and engineers are continually sent to the Timor Sultanate to improve their industry. Settlements begin to grow around the Lake Eyre region. With respect to the German colonial government, we ask Croatia to purchase the part of the outback north of Lake Eyre.
 * The Commonwealth of Oceana: Naval bases continue being built to enforce claims on several islands (from OTL Palau to Fiji). A major naval base is constructed on the Island of Midway in the Republic of Hawaii. Another major naval base is constructed in Fiji to complement the base on Midway. Exploration of West Antarctica continues. The nation considers expanding the Treaty of Midway over the waters within the Luwrit Sea. 
 * Colony of Kinshasa: With the incorporated French colony, continues to expand its lumber and mining companies with cheap labor picked up from surrounding natives. An organized government forms along with some small villages. The border expands inward 750 px.
 * Colony of North Antarctica: A small base is established on Antarctica's northernmost peninsula, inhabited only six months of the year. A lighthouse begins construction to aid shipping that travels south of Cape Horn.
 *  As per private chat with Rimp, the offer is fixed to be more plausible. Hopefully, this fixes any issues. 
 * Roman Empire: The Roman Empire continues to recover from the shock of the Great War, in which many good Romans died. The Empire also focuses on its internal security and stability after noticing the power of the revolt in Africa and remembering painful memories of revolts in Italy and Egypt. Economic and civic policy are seen as key to improving stability and cohesiveness in the Empire. With that said, the Empire does have several foreign policy successes to note as well, mainly the unification of the Tartary and the return of order in the steppes. Trade continues to go well and the military continues to have a major part of Roman society, and new weapons like tanks, planes, and better submarines now play a significant role in the way the Empire wages war. The financial crisis affects the Empire badly, and the economy suffers and many go without work. The current administration works to help mediate the crisis even though it knows its days are numbered. The civil war in the caliphate forces the Empire and its ally Assyria to be on guard. However, there are no current plans to get involved other than to increase security at the border.
 * Reme: Reme begins to build up its military and economy. Reme elects a new president and starts to build up its navy. Meanwhile, trade is improved on, with industrialization, mainly former Byzantine areas slowly being introduced to populous areas. Lumber, cash crops, and other goods become a major export of Reme, and starts getting Reme a jump-start into the European economy. There is also the creation of New navy ships, to help modernize the Reman navy. Coal mines are built, and starts churning out coal at a consistent rate. Coal mining plants are also started to be upgraded. Reme also starts very slowly changing its focus to industrial things, with a nationwide railroad being considered to be built. Industrialization of river areas continue, as well as the production of textiles to cheaper the price of Reman cotton. Meanwhile, a Socialist-based party starts to gain seats in parliament, with plans to make Reme a more self-sufficient state. People are getting anxious over the threat of Communism to Reme, and vote on the crackdown of Communist sympathizers and their families. The Reman government is pleased that Pearl River has voted to join the Empire, and promises that their rights and property will be maintained. The Reman military is improved a bit in an effort to hold up its part of the Fraternal Alliance. The economy suffers a great deal, and as a result the Socialists and outlawed Communists get a bit too eager in their expression that they have the correct answer, resulting in many demonstrations and some riots. Reman forces launch attacks against the upstart Communists to contain their rebellion and restore peace and order in the region.
 * Protectorate of Wolof: Wolof begins to build up its military and economy. Reman food and supplies come in to help the formerly starving nation, as well as the Reman military to help sustain order. Some representation is given in the Reman Parliament, to give Wolof a minimal say in how Reme should be run. Meanwhile, plans to industrialize the coastal areas as well as plans for fortifications are presented, and are started being worked on.
 * Algonquia: Suffers from the economic downturn, with the Centrists losing control of the government to the Transitional Communists yet again. The Algonquia populace is, although generally left-wing, also very anti-Arcadian, so aid is sent to Reme to help suppress the Arcadian revolts. Submarines continue to be produced in large numbers, technology having advanced considerably, while major public works are undertaken to provide employment, notably a nationwide railway upgrade. Algonquia expands north, as does Sahutudene, while the Zollern Insels improve their economy. Algonquia accepts the Commonwealth Kingdoms' offer.
 * Ruthenia: The Ruthenians unveil the first operational airship in a ceremony with much fanfare. The country now has a network of "airports" dedicated to airship travel, which were constructed during the economic development following the Great War and the intervention in Russia. The maiden voyage of the airship is an incredible success, and construction of more airships is started. The Kiev Airship Company is already planning international routes for their airships.
 * <p style="font-size:16px;line-height:26px;">Andea:  Andea's economic growth grinds to a halt with the recent stock market crash. The stock market crash in itself would be managable if not for a massive panic triggered in its wake. Very quickly, the Andean banks begin to fail.

The National Guard responds to a massive protest in Arequipa, quickly dispersing the protesters.


 * Union of Sudafrica: The nation continues to see expansions in military, navy and industry. Despite the economic hardships, the literacy and health of the colony expand drastically.
 * Spain:  Continues to prosper as a center of the arts and learning despite economic hardship. The construction of new buildings, roads and other infrastructure continues. but government funded projects end as the government begins using money in other places in an effort to save the falling economy. Spanish businesses expand across Spanish territories and into other nations. The buildings rise higher and the trains run faster, especially in the major cities such as Zaragoza, Barcelona and Madrid. Cars and planes and all sorts of cool modern stuff. Spain continues to lay claim to Antarctica. The construction of ships and weaponry continues. Boats and guns and cars. Spain increases the number of battle ready ships in the Royal Armada, although at a much slower rate as the new government cuts military spending down to 60%. More automatic weaponry stuff. The Spanish colony of West Africa expands 8000 sq km north in the west and east, totaling 16,000 sq km. Croats in Dahomey retain their rights. Dahomey expands 8000 sq km into the interior of Africa. The Spanish colony in southwest Africa expands 8000 sq km inland as well. Spain continues to develop better tanks. Planes improve. The economic recession leads to massive upheaval across Spain as the Moderates become the majority party in Spanish government. Fortunata Cardona becomes the Prime Minister and begins enacting measures that he believes will save the Spanish economy and lift it from the recession, and hopes that progress made in Spain will help other nations recover as well. #NoMoreWikiaChanges


 * Algeria: Begins to feel the effects of the recession in Spain. Algerian banks lose money fast, since they did not place security measures in place as soon as possible, unlike Singapore. Boats, guns, planes, cars.
 * Singapore: Also continues to develop naval technology to protect its economic interests with the aid of Spain. Singapore is affected by the economic crisis in Spain, but to a smaller degree, so the Singapore government continues to put security measures in place to prevent further losses.

1926
'''Something something limited Nivkh autonomy under Japanese rule. Hope you're happy Lemming.'''


 * Commonwealth Kingdoms: New Mecklenburg, Kameroon and German West Africa expand by 750 px each. The navy, though affected by the depression, continues development and research, and despite some vocal opposition to it, the admiralty makes plans for war games in the New Rugian Sea to test the new class of German aircraft carriers. Budget cuts in other areas are made to help maintain the supply of operating money for the government. Andea and Brazil are again sent the 1923 offer of an alliance and economic cooperation accepted by Algonquia.


 * Korea: Korea continues to build up its military. Meanwhile, more Taoist and Buddhist temples are built. Taoism rises in popularity and gains more followers. Regular (read: not Imperial) Shinto gains a few more followers as well, mainly along the coastline in Southeastern Korea, particularly in Busan, Jejudo, Ulsan, and the coastal cities and coastal towns of Southern Gyeongsang Province.

 * Colony of North Antarctica: A small base is established on Antarctica's northernmost peninsula, inhabited only six months of the year. A lighthouse begins construction to aid shipping that travels south of Cape Horn.
 * Ban Republic of Croatia (Banska Republika Hrvatska): Sewerage systems similar to Ragusan ones are built in major towns of theBan Republic. With growing Ragusan influence, and the beginning of further colonization, the navy expands rapidly using much of the Ragusan expertise. Moreover, with the influx of new resources in form of lumber, labour and metals, the navy begins expanding at a fast rate. More and more ships capable of crossing the Atlantic with ease are built. The Sabor intends to restore the glorious naval culture of the Neretva peoples and plans to do so by expanding the navy. The kravata (tie) is more and more used as an accessory. Trade routes are strengthened and the salt mines around Tuzla are explored as well as the salt industry in Pag and Nin. Using irrigation from the Danube, Sava, Drava, Drina, Cetina, Una, Vrbaš, Kupa, Neretva and other rivers the fields in the kingdom are developed, used for crops such as wheat, rye and barley. With trade routes increasing and Croatia entering an era of peace and of stability, the development of new trade ships is issued. Stone mining is furthered as well as the timber industry. The need for these resources rises as urbanization carries on. Iron ores in Dugopolje, Zenice and at last the 'mud' ore in Vojvodina and Eastern Slavonia are to be exploited alongside the silver and copper ores more frequently and of better quality than the iron ores. The exploitation of iron ores in the Lika and Gorski kotar areas continues. The salt industry in Ston is funded by the government. The influx of resources from Dahomey aids the economy. However, the government makes sure that the gold arriving isn't immediately put on the market in order to control the inflation in the worth of gold. The silver mine in Srebrenica is mined. Kotor Saraka (Adelaide) continues to expand. Draganić continues his research. 
 * Isles of the Archvoivodeship (Otoci Nadvojvodstva): The infrastructure is built up.
 * Ban Republic of Carantania (Banska Republika Karantanija): Being Alpine Slavic nation, the leaders begin a programme to create a standardized Carantanian language that will reflect on both the Slavic and Alpine (Germanic) aspects of Carantania.
 * Sukadang Županija: Croatization. Expansion onto the other parts of Borneo.
 * Croatian Africa: Continues to expand.
 * White Croatia: Large-scale Croatization, numerous harsh measures are introduced to ensure White Croatia is Croatian.
 * Algonquia: Suffers from the economic downturn, with the Centrists losing control of the government to the Transitional Communists yet again. The Algonquia populace is, although generally left-wing, also very anti-Arcadian, so aid is sent to Reme to help suppress the Arcadian revolts. Submarines continue to be produced in large numbers, technology having advanced considerably, while major public works are undertaken to provide employment, notably a nationwide railway upgrade. Algonquia expands north, as does Sahutudene, while the Zollern Insels improve their economy.
 * Emeraldie: The land forces stand at 90,000 men, with 70,000 in reserve, modernisation of the armed forces is completed. Vast industrial expansion occurs in the region following years of government encouragement and subsidies. We expand 800 px into the continent's interior. With the booming economy, the government begins investing heavily in education and infrastructure. In other news, the first domestically produced cars are built, with companies taking advantage of the growing petrol supply. The Royal Air Corps is expanded with new purpose built aircraft, it now includes 50 planes and seven bomber Zeppelins. The world's first aircraft carrier is completed, christened HMES Charlemagne, it represents the pinnacle of naval aeronautics. The Royal Airship Company expands its operations across the continent.
 * Emeraldie Pacific Territories: The territorial government is granted the ability to control a small armed force to maintain peace in the region and protect from native aggression, its current numbers are around 8000 men.
 * Roman Empire: The Roman Empire continues to recover from the shock of the Great War, in which many good Romans died. The Empire also focuses on its internal security and stability after noticing the power of the revolt in Africa and remembering painful memories of revolts in Italy and Egypt. Economic and civic policy are seen as key to improving stability and cohesiveness in the Empire. With that said, the Empire does have several foreign policy successes to note as well, mainly the unification of the Tartary and the return of order in the steppes. Trade continues to go well and the military continues to have a major part of Roman society, and new weapons like tanks, planes, and better submarines now play a significant role in the way the Empire wages war. The financial crisis affects the Empire badly, and the economy suffers and many go without work. The current administration works to help mediate the crisis even though it knows its days are numbered. The civil war in the caliphate forces the Empire and its ally Assyria to be on guard. However, there are no current plans to get involved other than to increase security at the border.
 * Reme: Reme begins to build up its military and economy. Reme elects a new president and starts to build up its navy. Meanwhile, trade is improved on, with industrialization, mainly former Byzantine areas slowly being introduced to populous areas. Lumber, cash crops, and other goods become a major export of Reme, and starts getting Reme a jump-start into the European economy. There is also the creation of New navy ships, to help modernize the Reman navy. Coal mines are built, and starts churning out coal at a consistent rate. Coal mining plants are also started to be upgraded. Reme also starts very slowly changing its focus to industrial things, with a nationwide railroad being considered to be built. Industrialization of river areas continue, as well as the production of textiles to cheaper the price of Reman cotton. Meanwhile, a Socialist-based party starts to gain seats in parliament, with plans to make Reme a more self-sufficient state. People are getting anxious over the threat of Communism to Reme, and vote on the crackdown of Communist sympathizers and their families. The Reman government is pleased that Pearl River has voted to join the Empire, and promises that their rights and property will be maintained. The Reman military is improved a bit in an effort to hold up its part of the Fraternal Alliance. The economy suffers a great deal, and as a result the Socialists and outlawed Communists get a bit too eager in their expression that they have the correct answer, resulting in many demonstrations and some riots. Reman forces launch attacks against the upstart Communists to contain their rebellion and restore peace and order in the region. (Algo tomorrow, probably. Busy tonight)
 * Protectorate of Wolof: Wolof begins to build up its military and economy. Reman food and supplies come in to help the formerly starving nation, as well as the Reman military to help sustain order. Some representation is given in the Reman Parliament, to give Wolof a minimal say in how Reme should be run. Meanwhile, plans to industrialize the coastal areas as well as plans for fortifications are presented, and are started being worked on.
 * Ruthenia: The Ruthenians continue to expand the airship routes through the country. The Ruthenians begin to transform Minsk into a hub for airship travel.

1927
''' No mod event this turn unless the other mods deem it prudent to have some. '''


 * Commonwealth Kingdoms: New Mecklenburg, Kameroon and German West Africa expand by 750 px each. Several detachments of the navy sail for New Rugia around mid-year, arriving roughly ten weeks later as a result of their relatively slow cruising speed taken. After a weeks holiday in the New Rugian capital of Sophiastadt and outlying ports, the fleets move into the New Rugian Sea for war games. The four completed carriers, Artemis, Hera, Athena, and Aphrodite, with newly developed planes capable of dropping torpedoes prove their worth, with four Furchennicht-type battleships calculated sunk, and another four seriously damaged. After several weeks of war games, the fleet decides to anchor in New Rugia for Christmas. Back home, Chancellor Dietrich proposes commonwealth-wide budget cuts in order to lessen the impact of the depression. Andea and Brazil are again offered the 1923 offer of an alliance and economic cooperation already accepted by Algonquia.


 * Borealia_Flag_2.png Union of Borealia: Both the economy and military improve across all the provinces of the Union. The thriving industries now run entirely on petroleum, procured from the oil collected from Alaska and California. While the traditional hearts of each city, particularly New Vienna, continue to reflect the same idyllic Baroque style, newer expansions to these urban centers are packed with factories and other industrial equipment. Cities recently built in southern California and northern Alaska are much more developed, as some parts of the Kiatagmiut province are almost unrecognizable. The economy of the Union stems from the exportation of natural resources. San Francisco and Mamterlliq continue to be the main centers of the gold trade, while oil wells begin to speckle the coastal range of California. More oil wells are built in Upper Alaska, bringing entrepreneurs to that region. Large monopolies on lumber and animal products are also prevalent in Santiago and Pannenstiel. All of these businesses are connected with diesel trains that span the continent. As the various earlier philosophies continue to grow and factionalize, these turn into competing ideas that promote further progression and ingenuity from the younger generation. Films in color are becoming more popular. Electrical power continues to spread, although one scientist claims to have created better light by conducting gas. A theory of quanta is developed to explain phenomenon as smaller levels, and more theories follow to develop machines at this level. One scientist begins researching the possibility of utilizing energy from indivisible particles, thus creating a theory of nuclear fusion. Tanks continue being developed. X-rays are being used to interpret internal injuries. Airplanes begin being built on the Remen design in Pannenstiel. We continue to uphold the New Munich Declaration along with Algonquia, Reme, Mexaca, and Arcadia. An organization for promoting peace in the Pacific is established, whose members currently include Korea, China and Ayutthaya. As more industrial goods continue to pour in from Reme, Borealian entrepreneurs begin selling more oil, gold, lumber, and livestock to the East Coast.  Industrial goods are sent to Brazil and China to improve their respective economies. In sympathy for the oppression of Communism in Europe, a small Communist Party emerges this year in New Vienna. These people are viewed suspiciously, however, as Communism usually has no place in Borealian culture. The Gothic movement insists on aiding the rebels in Arcadia, as they see the old destruction of Arcadia to be a violation of their rights. The Curia remains neutral, but tells Reme that they will help put down the rebels in exchange for purchasing parts of Texas, which would give Borealia a port on the Atlantic (Mod response). The Reformist Church continues to grow in the continent, leading many relief efforts for the poor and preaching that the second coming of Christ will come in this generation.
 * The State of Australia: The state greatly increases this year by beginning joint control over the colony of New Mecklenburg, provided by Germany on the provision of ceding the whole colony by 1929. The capital of the state is centered at Dandiri (OTL Brisbane), which administer over all land settlements and the Luwrit Sea (OTL Tasman Sea). Schools and media centers are established that teach Borealianist philosophy along with essential education. Supplies and engineers are continually sent to the Timor Sultanate to improve their industry. Settlements begin to grow around the Lake Eyre region. With respect to the German colonial government, we ask Croatia to purchase the part of the outback north of Lake Eyre.
 * The Commonwealth of Oceana: Naval bases continue being built to enforce claims on several islands (from OTL Palau to Fiji). A major naval base is constructed on the Island of Midway in the Republic of Hawaii. Another major naval base is constructed in Fiji to complement the base on Midway. Exploration of West Antarctica continues. The nation considers expanding the Treaty of Midway over the waters within the Luwrit Sea. 
 * Colony of Kinshasa: With the incorporated French colony, continues to expand its lumber and mining companies with cheap labor picked up from surrounding natives. An organized government forms along with some small villages. The border expands inward 750 px.
 * Colony of North Antarctica: A small base is established on Antarctica's northernmost peninsula, inhabited only six months of the year. A lighthouse begins construction to aid shipping that travels south of Cape Horn.
 * Lombardy: Our military is continuing to increase due to technology becoming better. Factories still make weapons and vehicles for our military, but it is not the mostly made item. With the increase of factories in the nation, more jobs are being made. The employment rate has continued to increase in the nation. Agriculture is our best industry in the nation. The railway industry is continuing to work on improving the tracks. Doctors are now continue to use X-rays to see the inside of people. Cars are now being popular within the middle class people, and not just the rich society. Trade goes well with the Roman Empire. The navy continues to make ships for trade and for future tensions. We continue to build many buildings like hospitals, colleges and banks. This is the sixth straight year we slowly annex Sardinia into our nation.
 * Korea: Korea continues to build up its military. Meanwhile, more Taoist and Buddhist temples are built. Taoism rises in popularity and gains more followers. Regular (read: not Imperial) Shinto gains a few more followers as well, mainly along the coastline in Southeastern Korea, particularly in Busan, Jejudo, Ulsan, and the coastal cities and coastal towns of Southern Gyeongsang Province. Mahayana Tao-Shintoism also continues to grow, and begins gaining followers from the areas where Shinto is growing, with some Shintoists switching to Mahayana Tao-Shintoism. The military in the colony of Haejagang (해자강) continues to be on high alert and continues to heavily patrol the Korean settlements. Meanwhile, industrialisation and modernisation continues in Korea (similar to OTL Japan's Meiji Restoration). Monarch Hyomyeong continues investing in technology and science. The Hyundai Motor Company continues to build more cars.
 * United Nordic Republics
 * ​Republic of Denmark: Denmark capitalizes on the fall of Pskov. With money flowing into the Kattegat and out of Pskovian wallets, there is one undoubted ruler of the Baltic Seas now. Former Communists flee to Jutland since Denmark is a Socialist state. Prime Minister Albert Wagner celebrates the end of the Great War, condemning Communism as a perversion of state-sponsored welfare. He worries that the actions of France have harmed Socialist movements in Europe, setting them back decades. In the meantime, a new destroyer is added to the Danish navy. There are over 113 ships in total flying Danish colors.
 * Republic of Sweden: Sweden also sees profit in the fall of Pskov. With money flowing into the Kattegat and out of Pskovian wallets, there is one undoubted ruler of the Baltic Seas now. Telephone lines are built in Sweden as electricity is brought to the northern cities and towns of Sweden. The Republic of Sweden commissions two destroyers into the Swedish fleet. There are now over 200 ships flying Swedish colors. Sweden offers to westernize the Caliphate in exchange for oil.
 * Republic of Norway: Christjen Sigurson continues his term as president of the Norwegian Republic. Norway produces the Knulleskipetditt-Class protected cruiser, deciding the Stejt-Class is unfit for patrolling the North Sea and the open waters. Three are produced. In the meantime, Norway sends troops to the cause in the Winter War, congratulating Iceland on a victory. Christjen Sigurdson states the necessity of good relations with Algonquia and Borealia following this war. "Now that we've settled these differences, let's get back to making money." There are currently 193 ships flying Norwegian colors.
 * Republic of Finland: Jonna Kekkonnen visits the Karelian cities this year. She wishes to improve the cities of Karelja, forming the Karelja Initiative. In the meantime, landlines to Sweden and Norway are proposed. Construction is mid-way by Christmas this year. She sends money and foodstuff to Helluland in the Winter War. The Anaalihävityksen-Class protected cruiser is commissioned, though Finland is more interested in buying used ships from the Nordic Revolutions where applicable. The city of Helsinki sees drastic growth this year as urbanization in Finland continues. Kekkekon continues to fight for women's rights. There are 73 ships in Finland's navy. In the meantime, seeing Reme's success with powered flight, Finland considers recreating the experiment.
 * Commonwealth of Iceland: Iceland's immediate concern, the Winter War, seems to be over. The people of Iceland rejoice. Literacy programs in Iceland begin. According to the Alting, too many people 'can't figure out how to spell our damn words right.' Reykyjavik sees improvements this year. The University of Reykyjavik opens its doors in 1881. The university is noted for being the 'North Pole of Academia.' Speaking of the North Pole, expeditions are sent to the Arctic ice cap to investigate the North Pole. The navy of Iceland improves, with the Augapóker-Class cruiser being released this year. Iceland wishes to increase relations with Algonquia and Borealia, offering to re-open the embassy in Helluland and Reykjavik.
 * Spain:  Continues to prosper as a center of the arts and learning despite economic hardship. The construction of new buildings, roads and other infrastructure continues. but government funded projects end as the government begins using money in other places in an effort to save the falling economy. Spanish businesses expand across Spanish territories and into other nations. The buildings rise higher and the trains run faster, especially in the major cities such as Zaragoza, Barcelona and Madrid. Cars and planes and all sorts of cool modern stuff. Spain continues to lay claim to Antarctica. The construction of ships and weaponry continues. Boats and guns and cars. Spain increases the number of battle ready ships in the Royal Armada, although at a much slower rate as the new government cuts military spending down to 60%. More automatic weaponry stuff. The Spanish colony of West Africa expands 8000 sq km north in the west and east, totaling 16,000 sq km. Croats in Dahomey retain their rights. Dahomey expands 8000 sq km into the interior of Africa. The Spanish colony in southwest Africa expands 8000 sq km inland as well. Spain continues to develop better tanks. Planes improve. The economic recession leads to massive upheaval across Spain as the Moderates become the majority party in Spanish government. Fortunata Cardona becomes the Prime Minister and begins enacting measures that he believes will save the Spanish economy and lift it from the recession, and hopes that progress made in Spain will help other nations recover as well. #NoMoreWikiaChanges


 * Algeria: Begins to feel the effects of the recession in Spain. Algerian banks lose money fast, since they did not place security measures in place as soon as possible, unlike Singapore. Boats, guns, planes, cars.
 * Singapore: Also continues to develop naval technology to protect its economic interests with the aid of Spain. Singapore is affected by the economic crisis in Spain, but to a smaller degree, so the Singapore government continues to put security measures in place to prevent further losses.
 * The Netherlands: We order into production our first armored car. Designs on a tank are being conceived. Eco and Infra.
 * Dutch France: Mil and Eco.
 * Luxembourg: Mil and Infra.
 * Commonwealth Duchy of Oldenburg: The economy appears to be slowly recovering, at least in part due to the government's reforms. The socialist nature of the reforms manages to somewhat appease the Communists, checking their growth. The PF, however, are unimpressed by the lack of prosecution of the (Jewish) leaders of the main banks, and at their continued wealth and prominence. The perceived weakness of the Imperial government in the face of the Crashes has led the PF to adopt an extreme form of Oldenburger nationalism. They claim that, were Oldenburg only to break free of the shackles of the Communist/Jewish/Secular/Marian Liberal controlled Rest-of-Germany, it would return to the "glory days" when it was the envy of the world. Whilst scoffed at by people who actually care about historical facts, ignorant and uninformed people - predominantly urban poor - buy into the mythos. In the election this year, the PF gains an pocketful of new seats in the working-class suburbs of Oldenburg and Jadehaven.
 * Commonwealth Lordship of Neu Norderney: The hydroelectric dam construction project has proved itself a miracle for the NN economy. Unemployed people of all descriptions take the trains or airships out to the West to work on the project, soon dubbed the country's "concrete lung". Although the country's economic problems are far from over, the project has alleviated at least the worst of the unemployment and, perhaps more importantly, given people hope where once there was despair.

Algonquia suffers from the economic downturn, with the Centrists losing control of the government to the Transitional Communists yet again. The Algonquia populace is, although generally left-wing, also very anti-Arcadian, so aid is sent to Reme to help suppress the Arcadian revolts. Submarines continue to be produced in large numbers, technology having advanced considerably, while major public works are undertaken to provide employment, notably a nationwide railway upgrade. Algonquia expands north, as does Sahutudene, while the Zollern Insels improve their economy.
 * Mexaca: (Can someone tell me what I am?) The (Kingdom/Empire/Republic/Commonwealth/IDK what I am) of Mexaca begins improving our industry, to catch up with our ally Borealia. More factories are built in the nation and rail lines begin being built from the border with Borealia to the southern border in an attempt to increase efficiency of traveling.
 * The Union of Borealia offers to mass produce industrial goods from the Empire of Mexaca (you're welcome).
 * Roman Empire: The Roman Empire continues to recover from the shock of the Great War, in which many good Romans died. The Empire also focuses on its internal security and stability after noticing the power of the revolt in Africa and remembering painful memories of revolts in Italy and Egypt. Economic and civic policy are seen as key to improving stability and cohesiveness in the Empire. With that said, the Empire does have several foreign policy successes to note as well, mainly the unification of the Tartary and the return of order in the steppes.

1928

 * Commonwealth Kingdoms: New Mecklenburg, Kameroon and German West Africa expand by 750 px each. In light of Borealias "gentle reminder" of the expiration of joint control of New Mecklenburg, Emperor Friedrich makes a statement regarding it, "the Union of Borealia has 'reminded' us of the ultimatum they sent to us whilst we were fighting for freedom from the Communist scourge. Now, we are free from that. Now, we can focus on defending our New Mecklenburger brothers and sisters. With the approval of the Diet (ooc: Cookie supports this) I declare the Borealian ultimatum to be null and void. The navy detachments who conducted war games in the area last year will be deployed to New Mecklenburger territorial waters, and the colonial forces will be mobilized. Regular army units will soon begin arriving in New Mecklenburg and will militarize the border, as a precaution in the event Borealias proven aggressive expansionism gets the better of them. This is not an aggressive posture, but merely preparation to defend the Germans of New Mecklenburg. I encourage Borealia to drop cliams to New Mecklenburg before blood is shed in the Outback." Indeed the navy conducting war games near New Rugia last year is stationed in New Mecklenburg. Army units from the Colonial forces, and the regular Army of New Rugia ar stationed near the Borealian border.
 * The Union of Borealia warns Germany that this betrayal and complete disregard for our agreement is tantamount to an act of war. We aided Germany to defeat the Communists, not to benefit ourselves, but to promote freedom and democracy in the world. Now the world can see Germany's actual motives: to lie and cheat for the goal of protecting their own hide. We call on all nations to see the lack of legitimacy in Germany's claim.
 * Germany reminds Borealia of its treachery, when it near invaded New Mecklenburg during the Great War. It didn't even aid the allies in their invasions of the Communist countries, the only one from the New Munich Pact that did was the Reman Empire. And here it stands, claiming that it was a consenting agreement, when it was a one-sided ultimatum. Germany will not stand by and allow Borealia to subjugate more good Germans, like those in its "State of Australia".
 * Borealia: Regardless of whether Germany accepts the ultimatum now, it accepted it 20 years ago in 1909. Thus, this retroactive renouncement is a clear violation of their word, plain and simple. The "betrayal" of the aborted Australian War you refer to was in no way a violation of good faith as the agreement after the Hamburger War was in relations to the Borealian colonies only. No, the only traitor here is Germany's violation of their agreement, who is also the only imperial power here who wishes to keep their colonies indefinitely. Spain, France, Britain, Holland and even Scandinavia all ultimately gave up their claims, yet Germany stands petulant.
 * Algonquia is concerned by this, and points out to Germany that the recently signed alliance is now effectively null and void, since Germany is clearly willing to revoke it at the drop of a hat and discard its obligations. It also advises the remnants of the Beothuk Nationalist Front to begin rearming, advising them that Germany may well revoke the earlier amnesty at any second.
 * Germany assures Algonquia that the Beothuk are not in harm during this issue. This stems from Borealias betrayal of the good faith attempting to be built after the 1884 war. In 1909, Borealia threatened invasion of New Mecklenburg if their ultimatum wasn't agreed to. We have decided to well-being of our people in New Mecklenburg warrants our rejection of their ultimatum.
 * Nederlands: we revoke all agreements with Germany.
 * Spain officially sides with Borealia on the matter but will not actively participate in the war. However, Germany is condemned.
 * Korea: Korea continues to build up its military. Meanwhile, more Taoist and Buddhist temples are built. Taoism rises in popularity and gains more followers. Regular (read: not Imperial) Shinto gains a few more followers as well, mainly along the coastline in Southeastern Korea, particularly in Busan, Jejudo, Ulsan, and the coastal cities and coastal towns of Southern Gyeongsang Province. Mahayana Tao-Shintoism also continues to grow, and begins gaining followers from the areas where Shinto is growing, with some Shintoists switching to Mahayana Tao-Shintoism.

 * Borealia_Flag_2.png Union of Borealia: Both the economy and military improve across all the provinces of the Union. The thriving industries now run entirely on petroleum, procured from the oil collected from Alaska and California. While the traditional hearts of each city, particularly New Vienna, continue to reflect the same idyllic Baroque style, newer expansions to these urban centers are packed with factories and other industrial equipment. Cities recently built in southern California and northern Alaska are much more developed, as some parts of the Kiatagmiut province are almost unrecognizable.

San Francisco and Mamterlliq continue to be the main centers of the gold trade, while oil wells begin to speckle the coastal range of California. More oil wells are built in Upper Alaska, bringing entrepreneurs to that region. Large monopolies on lumber and animal products are also prevalent in Santiago and Pannenstiel. All of these businesses are connected with diesel trains that span the continent. As the various earlier philosophies continue to grow and factionalize, these turn into competing ideas that promote further progression and ingenuity from the younger generation. Films in color are becoming more popular. Electrical power continues to spread, although one scientist claims to have created better light by conducting gas.

X-rays are being used to interpret internal injuries. Airplanes begin being built on the Remen design in Pannenstiel. We continue to uphold the New Munich Declaration along with Algonquia, Reme, Mexaca, and Arcadia. An organization for promoting peace in the Pacific is established, whose members currently include Korea, China and Ayutthaya. As more industrial goods continue to pour in from Reme, Borealian entrepreneurs begin selling more oil, gold, lumber, and livestock to the East Coast.  Industrial goods are sent to Brazil and China to improve their respective economies. In sympathy for the oppression of Communism in Europe, a small Communist Party emerges this year in New Vienna. These people are viewed suspiciously, however, as Communism usually has no place in Borealian culture. The Gothic movement insists on aiding the rebels in Arcadia, as they see the old destruction of Arcadia to be a violation of their rights. The Curia remains neutral, but tells Reme that they will help put down the rebels in exchange for purchasing parts of Texas, which would give Borealia a port on the Atlantic (Mod response). The Reformist Church continues to grow in the continent, leading many relief efforts for the poor and preaching that the second coming of Christ will come in this generation.
 * The State of Australia: The state greatly increases this year by beginning joint control over the colony of New Mecklenburg, provided by Germany on the provision of ceding the whole colony by 1929. The capital of the state is centered at Dandiri (OTL Brisbane), which administer over all land settlements and the Luwrit Sea (OTL Tasman Sea). Schools and media centers are established that teach Borealianist philosophy along with essential education. Supplies and engineers are continually sent to the Timor Sultanate to improve their industry. Settlements begin to grow around the Lake Eyre region. We gently remind Germany that the 20-year joint rule over New Mecklenburg is set to expire next year.
 * The Commonwealth of Oceana: Naval bases continue being built to enforce claims on several islands (from OTL Palau to Fiji). A major naval base is constructed on the Island of Midway in the Republic of Hawaii. Another major naval base is constructed in Fiji to complement the base on Midway. Exploration of West Antarctica continues. The nation considers expanding the Treaty of Midway over the waters within the Luwrit Sea. 
 * Colony of Kinshasa: With the incorporated French colony, continues to expand its lumber and mining companies with cheap labor picked up from surrounding natives. An organized government forms along with some small villages. The border expands inward 750 px.
 * Colony of North Antarctica: A small base is established on Antarctica's northernmost peninsula, inhabited only six months of the year. A lighthouse begins construction to aid shipping that travels south of Cape Horn.
 * Mexacan Dip: We propose a personal union of our countries, where Mexaca shall have a devolved government (Like Wales and Scotland in the OTL United Kingdom)
 * Spain continues to prosper as a center of the arts and learning despite economic hardship. The construction of new buildings, roads and other infrastructure continues. but government funded projects end as the government begins using money in other places in an effort to save the falling economy. Spanish businesses expand across Spanish territories and into other nations.

 * Please stop changing the format of my posts.
 * Empire of Mexaca: The infrastructure and economy improves. More rail lines and factories are built. We accept the offer of Borealian trade. We also propose the idea of personal union with the Union of Borealia. (Too many things to backread on, My apologies)

They claim that, were Oldenburg only to break free of the shackles of the Communist/Jewish/Secular/Marian Liberal controlled Rest-of-Germany, it would return to the "glory days" when it was the envy of the world. Whilst scoffed at by people who actually care about historical facts, ignorant and uninformed people - predominantly urban poor - buy into the mythos. In the election this year, the PF gains an pocketful of new seats in the working-class suburbs of Oldenburg and Jadehaven.
 * Commonwealth Lordship of Neu Norderney: The hydroelectric dam construction project has proved itself a miracle for the NN economy. Unemployed people of all descriptions take the trains or airships out to the West to work on the project, soon dubbed the country's "concrete lung". Although the country's economic problems are far from over, the project has alleviated at least the worst of the unemployment and, perhaps more importantly, given people hope where once there was despair.
 * Ruthenia: The Ruthenians continue to expand the airship routes through the country. The Ruthenians continue to transform Minsk into a hub for airship travel.


 * <p style="font-size:16px;line-height:26px;">Andea:  Andea's economic growth grinds to a halt with the recent stock market crash. The stock market crash in itself would be managable if not for a massive panic triggered in its wake. Very quickly, the Andean banks begin to fail. The governemnt quickly cuts naval funding and pours money into the failing system, hoping to rescue it. Funding for the ANA (Andean National Army) and Marine core remains steady despite the economic hardship. The Machine Pistol is officially adopted as part of the Andean Army and Marines. The National Guard responds to a massive protest in Arequipa, quickly dispersing the protesters.


 * Union of Sudafrica: The nation continues to see expansions in military, navy, and industry. Despite the economic hardships, the literacy and health of the colony expand drastically.
 * Roman Empire: The Roman Empire continues to recover from the shock of the Great War, in which many good Romans died. The Empire also focuses on its internal security and stability after noticing the power of the revolt in Africa and remembering painful memories of revolts in Italy and Egypt. Economic and civic policy are seen as key to improving stability and cohesiveness in the Empire. With that said, the Empire does have several foreign policy successes to note as well, mainly the unification of the Tartary and the return of order in the steppes. Trade continues to go well and the military continues to have a major part of Roman society, and new weapons like tanks, planes, and better submarines now play a significant role in the way the Empire wages war. The financial crisis affects the Empire badly, and the economy suffers and many go without work. The current administration works to help mediate the crisis even though it knows its days are numbered. The civil war in the caliphate forces the Empire and its ally Assyria to be on guard. However, there are no current plans to get involved other than to increase security at the border.
 * Reme: Reme begins to build up its military and economy. Reme elects a new president and starts to build up its navy. Meanwhile, trade is improved on, with industrialization, mainly former Byzantine areas slowly being introduced to populous areas. Lumber, cash crops, and other goods become a major export of Reme, and starts getting Reme a jump-start into the European economy. There is also the creation of New navy ships, to help modernize the Reman navy. Coal mines are built, and starts churning out coal at a consistent rate. Coal mining plants are also started to be upgraded. Reme also starts very slowly changing its focus to industrial things, with a nationwide railroad being considered to be built. Industrialization of river areas continue, as well as the production of textiles to cheaper the price of Reman cotton. Meanwhile, a Socialist-based party starts to gain seats in parliament, with plans to make Reme a more self-sufficient state. People are getting anxious over the threat of Communism to Reme, and vote on the crackdown of Communist sympathizers and their families. The Reman government is pleased that Pearl River has voted to join the Empire, and promises that their rights and property will be maintained. The Reman military is improved a bit in an effort to hold up its part of the Fraternal Alliance. The economy suffers a great deal, and as a result the Socialists and outlawed Communists get a bit too eager in their expression that they have the correct answer, resulting in many demonstrations and some riots.
 * Protectorate of Wolof: Wolof begins to build up its military and economy. Reman food and supplies come in to help the formerly starving nation, as well as the Reman military to help sustain order. Some representation is given in the Reman Parliament, to give Wolof a minimal say in how Reme should be run. Meanwhile, plans to industrialize the coastal areas as well as plans for fortifications are presented, and are started being worked on.
 * Emeraldie: The land forces stand at 90,000 men, with 70,000 in reserve, modernisation of the armed forces is completed. Vast industrial expansion occurs in the region following years of government encouragement and subsidies.  We expand 800 px into the continent's interior . With the booming economy, the government begins investing heavily in education and infrastructure. In other news, the first domestically produced cars are built, with companies taking advantage of the growing petrol supply. The Royal Air Corps is expanded with new purpose built aircraft, it now includes 50 planes and seven bomber Zeppelins. The world's first aircraft carrier is completed, christened HMES Charlemagne, it represents the pinnacle of naval aeronautics. The Royal Airship Company expands its operations across the continent.
 * Emeraldie Pacific Territories: The territorial government is granted the ability to control a small armed force to maintain peace in the region and protect from native aggression, its current numbers are around 8000 men.
 * The area you are expanding into has been full for quite some time.
 * Nederlanden: We declare neutrality in the possible Borealia-Germany war. Large amounts of armored cars are mass-produced. The navy is improved, with many new ships being built. The Dutch Air Force expresses interest in Emeraldie's aircraft carriers, and plans to develop one as soon as possible. (Mil and Eco). We condemn the Germans.
 * Dutch France: (Infra and Eco)
 * Luxembourg: (Mil and Eco)

1929
''' A new government comes to power in France, pledging a return to French power and the return of traditional French land. Foreign observors claim that at the moment this new government is irredentist and far right, but nothing signficantly worse than the Roman Fascist Party. At least, for now. '''
 * Korea: Korea continues to build up its military. Meanwhile, more Taoist and Buddhist temples are built. Taoism rises in popularity and gains more followers. Regular (read: not Imperial) Shinto gains a few more followers as well, mainly along the coastline in Southeastern Korea, particularly in Busan, Jejudo, Ulsan, and the coastal cities and coastal towns of Southern Gyeongsang Province. Mahayana Tao-Shintoism also continues to grow, and begins gaining followers from the areas where Shinto is growing, with some Shintoists switching to Mahayana Tao-Shintoism. The military in the colony of Haejagang (해자강) continues to be on high alert and continues to heavily patrol the Korean settlements. Meanwhile, industrialisation and modernisation continues in Korea (similar to OTL Japan's Meiji Restoration). Monarch Hyomyeong continues investing in technology and science. The Hyundai Motor Company continues to build more cars.
 * Andea is deeply concered by the recent German desicon to not follow up on their agreements. All agreements made with Germany following the Kuban War are terminated. WE PLEDGE MILITARY SUPPORT TO OUR NORTHERN ALLIES, AND TERMINATE THE RECOGNITION OF KUBA AND BELIZE AS GERMAN TERRITORY. TRADE WITH GERMANY IS ENDED, AND WE ASK THAT OUR ALLIES IN THE SECOND HESPERIAN LEAGUE, ROME AND SPAIN DO THE SAME. In other news, Andea's economy finally shows signs of recovering as the new government comes in and begins to implement new systems such as Price Administration. The debate about the constitutionality of this is limited, as the focus remains on economic growth. The new policies focus on "Trickle Up" or Demand Side economics. The military is set at 500,000 active men, and 500,000 reserve men, with new machine pistols, now more commonly called "submachine guns" being implemented into the Andean military. The navy remains large, with the first aircraft carrier, a modified dreadnought, having finished production in 1927. Further developments into this type of naval vessel continue, with more being added to the military. Population stands at 97 million. Colony will be added later. (Mod Response needed on Brazil as Fritz is away for two weeks).
 * Germany (Bavaria): Laughs at Andean aggression, and asks the Andean government to seriously tone down the rhetoric. Germany holds no ill will toward Andea, and reminds the Andeans that a peaceful compromise is being reached between Borealia and Germany, which the Andeans have the freedom to participate in.
 * Ban Republic of Croatia (Banska Republika Hrvatska): Sewerage systems similar to Ragusan ones are built in major towns of theBan Republic. With growing Ragusan influence, and the beginning of further colonization, the navy expands rapidly using much of the Ragusan expertise. Moreover, with the influx of new resources in form of lumber, labour and metals, the navy begins expanding at a fast rate. More and more ships capable of crossing the Atlantic with ease are built. The Sabor intends to restore the glorious naval culture of the Neretva peoples and plans to do so by expanding the navy. The kravata (tie) is more and more used as an accessory. Trade routes are strengthened and the salt mines around Tuzla are explored as well as the salt industry in Pag and Nin. Using irrigation from the Danube, Sava, Drava, Drina, Cetina, Una, Vrbaš, Kupa, Neretva and other rivers the fields in the kingdom are developed, used for crops such as wheat, rye and barley. With trade routes increasing and Croatia entering an era of peace and of stability, the development of new trade ships is issued. Stone mining is furthered as well as the timber industry. The need for these resources rises as urbanization carries on. Iron ores in Dugopolje, Zenice and at last the 'mud' ore in Vojvodina and Eastern Slavonia are to be exploited alongside the silver and copper ores more frequently and of better quality than the iron ores. The exploitation of iron ores in the Lika and Gorski kotar areas continues. The salt industry in Ston is funded by the government. The influx of resources from Dahomey aids the economy. However, the government makes sure that the gold arriving isn't immediately put on the market in order to control the inflation in the worth of gold. The silver mine in Srebrenica is mined. Kotor Saraka (Adelaide) continues to expand. Draganić continues his research. 
 * Isles of the Archvoivodeship (Otoci Nadvojvodstva): The infrastructure is built up.
 * Ban Republic of Carantania (Banska Republika Karantanija): Being Alpine Slavic nation, the leaders begin a programme to create a standardized Carantanian language that will reflect on both the Slavic and Alpine (Germanic) aspects of Carantania.
 * Sukadang Županija: Croatization. Expansion onto the other parts of Borneo.
 * Croatian Africa: Continues to expand.
 * White Croatia: Large-scale Croatization, numerous harsh measures are introduced to ensure White Croatia is Croatian.
 * Spain  continues to prosper as a center of the arts and learning despite economic hardship. The construction of new buildings, roads and other infrastructure continues. but government funded projects end as the government begins using money in other places in an effort to save the falling economy. Spanish businesses expand across Spanish territories and into other nations. The buildings rise higher and the trains run faster, especially in the major cities such as Zaragoza, Barcelona and Madrid. Cars and planes and all sorts of cool modern stuff. Spain continues to lay claim to Antarctica. The construction of ships and weaponry continues. Boats and guns and cars. Spain increases the number of battle ready ships in the Royal Armada, although at a much slower rate. More automatic weaponry stuff. The Spanish colony of West Africa expands 8000 sq km north in the west and east, totaling 16,000 sq km. Croats in Dahomey retain their rights. Dahomey expands 8000 sq km into the interior of Africa. The Spanish colony in southwest Africa expands 8000 sq km inland as well. Spain continues to develop better tanks. Planes improve. The economic recession leads to massive upheaval across Spain as the Moderates become the majority party in Spanish government. Fortunata Cardona continues enacting measures that he believes will save the Spanish economy and lift it from the recession, and hopes that progress made in Spain will help other nations recover as well. Spain cuts off trade with Germany and German ships are no longer allowed in Spanish waters. The Straits of Malacca are also closed to any German ships that seek to pass through. The Spanish Naval Air Department is created. #NoMoreWikiaChanges


 * Algeria continues to feel the effects of the recession in Spain. Algerian banks lose money fast, since they did not place security measures in place as soon as possible, unlike Singapore. Boats, guns, planes, cars. Algeria takes similar measures to Spain against Germany.
 * Singapore also continues to develop naval technology to protect its economic interests with the aid of Spain. Singapore is affected by the economic crisis in Spain, but to a smaller degree, so the Singapore government continues to put security measures in place to prevent further losses.
 * Borealia_Flag_2.png Union of Borealia: Both the economy and military improve across all the provinces of the Union. The thriving industries now run entirely on petroleum, procured from the oil collected from Alaska and California. While the traditional hearts of each city, particularly New Vienna, continue to reflect the same idyllic Baroque style, newer expansions to these urban centers are packed with factories and other industrial equipment. Cities recently built in southern California and northern Alaska are much more developed, as some parts of the Kiatagmiut province are almost unrecognizable. The economy of the Union stems from the exportation of natural resources. San Francisco and Mamterlliq continue to be the main centers of the gold trade, while oil wells begin to speckle the coastal range of California. More oil wells are built in Upper Alaska, bringing entrepreneurs to that region. Large monopolies on lumber and animal products are also prevalent in Santiago and Pannenstiel. All of these businesses are connected with diesel trains that span the continent. As the various earlier philosophies continue to grow and factionalize, these turn into competing ideas that promote further progression and ingenuity from the younger generation. Films in color are becoming more popular. Electrical power continues to spread, although one scientist claims to have created better light by conducting gas. A theory of quanta is developed to explain phenomenon as smaller levels, and more theories follow to develop machines at this level. One scientist begins researching the possibility of utilizing energy from indivisible particles, thus creating a theory of nuclear fission. Tanks continue being developed. X-rays are being used to interpret internal injuries. Airplanes begin being built on the Remen design in Pannenstiel. We continue to uphold the New Munich Declaration along with Algonquia, Reme, Mexaca, and Arcadia. An organization for promoting peace in the Pacific is established, whose members currently include Korea, China and Ayutthaya. As more industrial goods continue to pour in from Reme, Borealian entrepreneurs begin selling more oil, gold, lumber, and livestock to the East Coast.  Industrial goods are sent to Brazil and China to improve their respective economies. Politics in Borealia is split over the German diplomatic scandal. Some lean on the Gothic side and wish to negotiate peace with Germany, while other "Marmtillics" want to declare war. The Reformist Church splits in two over this issue, as many are disillusioned that Germany would consider their empire more valuable than the lives of the people in it. Trad is suspended from Germany in comradary with Andea.
 * The State of Australia: The state greatly increases this year by beginning joint control over the colony of New Mecklenburg, provided by Germany on the provision of ceding the whole colony by 1929. The capital of the state is centered at Dandiri (OTL Brisbane), which administer over all land settlements and the Luwrit Sea (OTL Tasman Sea). Schools and media centers are established that teach Borealianist philosophy along with essential education. Supplies and engineers are continually sent to the Timor Sultanate to improve their industry. Settlements begin to grow around the Lake Eyre region. Australia is shocked that Germany went back on its word, and even more surprised to see the military aggression on the part of New Mecklenburg. The border is demilitarized as a sign of good will, and in the hope that the Germans will wake up from their imperialism and allow the state go free. We continue to call on all nations to see the illegitimacy of Germany's actions. 
 * The Commonwealth of Oceana: Naval bases continue being built to enforce claims on several islands (from OTL Palau to Fiji). A major naval base is constructed on the Island of Midway in the Republic of Hawaii. Another major naval base is constructed in Fiji to complement the base on Midway. Exploration of West Antarctica continues. The nation considers expanding the Treaty of Midway over the waters within the Luwrit Sea. Military from Borealia is convoyed to these islands.
 * Colony of Kinshasa: With the incorporated French colony, continues to expand its lumber and mining companies with cheap labor picked up from surrounding natives. An organized government forms along with some small villages. The border expands inward 750 px.
 * Colony of North Antarctica: A small base is established on Antarctica's northernmost peninsula, inhabited only six months of the year. A lighthouse begins construction to aid shipping that travels south of Cape Horn.
 * Borealian Dip (to Mexaca): We gracefully decline the offer of union, but will offer a stronger alliance to aid in your efforts of expansion.
 * Borealian Dip (to Germany): We see that the consequence of your rash decision has cost you international recognition. As a fellow Gothic state, we would deplore seeing Germany fall to the various threats it now faces, or suffer from the loss of trade during this depression. We therefore hope that you reconsider your decision, and peacefully relinquish claims to the aboriginal lands as originally promised.
 * Germany instead offers a compromise, where joint rule will be extended by ten years, while a referendum on New Mecklenburg's future status takes place.
 * Bavaria-Germany supports the stance of the federal government, and is willing to extend joint rule by ten years. HOWEVER, after that ten years, the New Mecklenburg government will be allowed to go independent in 1938/9.
 * Borealia accepts Bavaria's proposal as long as, being in joint control of the region, it retains the same military and oil rights as Germany.
 * Germany assures Borealia that it will have the same military and oil rights in the region until 1939. Furthermore, once New Mecklenburg becomes independent, Germany will be willing to act as an observer or mediator in any future economic meetings between Borealia and a free New Mecklenburg.
 * United Nordic Republics
 * ​Republic of Denmark: Denmark capitalizes on the fall of Pskov. With money flowing into the Kattegat and out of Pskovian wallets, there is one undoubted ruler of the Baltic Seas now. Former Communists flee to Jutland since Denmark is a Socialist state. Prime Minister Albert Wagner celebrates the end of the Great War, condemning Communism as a perversion of state-sponsored welfare. He worries that the actions of France have harmed Socialist movements in Europe, setting them back decades. In the meantime, a new destroyer is added to the Danish navy. There are over 120 ships in total flying Danish colors. The Nordic Republican Air Force is created this year. Before this year, the thirty planes at the UNR's disposal actually fell under the jurisdiction of the navy.
 * Republic of Sweden: Sweden also sees profit in the fall of Pskov. With money flowing into the Kattegat and out of Pskovian wallets, there is one undoubted ruler of the Baltic Seas now. Telephone lines are built in Sweden as electricity is brought to the northern cities and towns of Sweden. The Republic of Sweden commissions two destroyers into the Swedish fleet. There are now over 200 ships flying Swedish colors. Sweden offers to westernize the Caliphate in exchange for oil.
 * Republic of Norway: Norway's navy guards the North Sea as it protects its interests from pirates and would-be assailants in the North Atlantic. The economy of Norway improves this year as trade floods into the nation, especially the city of Oslo, which rivals even Copenhagen as the trading capital of the Baltic. In the meantime, a frigate is added to the Norwegian naval assets.  A plane is also built this year. An air force base is established outside Oslo.
 * Republic of Finland: The Republic of Finland trades heavily with Livonia this year while Helsinki, the easternmost trade capital of the Baltics, sees renovation. An air force base is established near Helsinki while three planes are built this year for the Finnish Air Force. In the meantime, the Finnish navy sees the addition of another frigate while a handful of older ships are retired this year. Several covered cruisers, which saw action in WWI, are scrapped this year and used for parts for newer ships.
 * Commonwealth of Iceland: Iceland proposes the Helluland Proclamation, which would make Helluland an independent nation, albeit allied with the United Nordic Republics and their interests. Proponents of the Proclamation believe that the time for Helluland's independence has long since passed. Opponents believe that such an act would only encourage warmongering from Algonquia. The Helluland Proclamation does not pass. An air force base in Rejkyjavik is established this year. Iceland requests to purchase the German strip of territory in Greenland.


 * Lombardy: Our military is continuing to increase due to technology becoming better. Factories still make weapons and vehicles for our military, but it is not the mostly made item. With the increase of factories in the nation, more jobs are being made. The employment rate has continued to increase in the nation. Agriculture is the best industry in the nation. The railway industry is continuing to work on improving the tracks. Doctors are now continuing to use X-rays to see the inside of people. Cars are now becoming popular in the middle class people, and not just the rich society. Trade goes well with the Roman Empire. The navy continues to make ships for trade and for future tensions. We continue to build many buildings like hospitals, colleges and banks. This is the 8th straight year we slowly annex Sardinia into our nation.
 * Republic of China: We offer bailout to the struggling Chinese countries, in return for becoming a satellite of the Republic of China. Our economy has completely recovered, the Conservatives now in their Third Term in power, with the next election not for three more years. We begin a minor border skirmish with Tibet, initiating the plan for invasion, with the Conservatives thinking it will benefit our economy. We await Indian and Japanese response from the attack. The austerity measures are declared over and the populace enjoys living in luxury compared to some Chinese states.
 * Ruthenia: The Ruthenians continue to expand the airship routes through the country. The Ruthenians continue to transform Minsk into a hub for airship travel.
 * Morocco: AT LAST, ERIC4E IS BACK AND BEGINS POSTING MOROCCAN NATION EVERY TURN!!! The Sultanate of Morocco continues to improve its economy, infrastructure and build up its military, mainly the army and navy. Morocco continues to westernize the nation and the population continues to grow by adding 200,000 people every year. The population of Morocco now stands at 21 million people, while the number of military troops stands at 1.4 million soldiers. Number of ships active in Moroccan Navy stands at 40 ironclad ships, 14 frigates, 18 cruisers and 25 destroyers. Continue building a series of early fighters, bombers and now a few airships on military airports, which later added into the Moroccan Air Force. Morocco finishes its war on three various West African countries and are later annexed into Morocco. Roads and railroads are built between old and new cities. Fewer museums, colleges and more houses, schools, hospitals, power plants and mining plants are built. The mining plants produces materials: coal, iron and now gold and copper, which later used as products from industries. Industry continues improving and few factories are built along in cities, creating jobs for people of Morocco. The telephone/communications and mosaics industries continue to grow under a few large monopolies. The Moroccan automobile manufacturer Mellahu Motor Group continues mass building of cars and begins to sell its cars into all European and American nations. With parts of the country hooked up to electricity, few middle class citizens and rich citizens have light in their homes. The telegraph is popular with the rich and business people. The telephone is popular with the rich people of society. About five million classes have a radio in their homes. Cars are popular with middle and the rich class. A few docks and mosques are built. The Moroccan Navy continues building a series of cargo ships, which cargo ships are for trade and for future tensions. Trade with various major European powers decides economic boom of Morocco and Morocco's largest exports are mosaics and largest imports are mostly food. Artillery becomes more widely used in combat and more industries continues building a series of wartime artillery, which later added it to Moroccan Armed Forces. Meanwhile, few new trains are produced and few new railway lines are opened in service. Sultan Masinissa V continues to plan new reforms for Morocco and continues investing heavily in technology and science.

''' The New French Government begins re-militarzation and re-arming. '''
 * Indian Empire: Queen Farah Shah was proclaimed the Empress of India in 1888, starting a new era. The Indian population rose to about 441,772,000, and the flocking of the people to coastal cities continued, with a mass increase of population in Kolkata, Mahmudpur, Karachi, Mumbai, Surat and various other minor cities and townships throughout the state. The Indian army, equipped with semi-modern armaments stood at 720,000 troops with an additional 250,000 reserves whilst the Imperial Guard was composed of 20,000 troops and the armament industry thrived on local and national level, with armaments rarely imported from foreign nations. The Indian navy experimented on ironclads and had started production of larger classes of steam engine ships, churning out first rate ironclads for various fleets, and more third rates, and fourth rates with the occasional second rate to augment the smaller patrol fleets with 40% of the national navy harboured at the Andaman and Kolkata ports. In agriculture was the largest economic focus of India, exporting various crops to foreign nations with the international jute and cotton textile production largely under Indian control. Along the same time, the Indian Renaissance were in full swing, with movements such as the Young India movement having aided in national modernisation and a massive rise in literacy and education, with major developments in Chemistry, Physics, Biology etc. Moreover, promotion of industrialisation and capitalism allowed the Imperial authorities to construct a Trans-National Railway, connecting the entire Empire as well as introduction of many other commodities such as telephones, bulbs, electricity. India develops its third bomber plane, the IA-82 and works on the Agni III. Along the same time, companies producing military weapons start to grow throughout India. 
 * Khedivate of Bahamani: The Capital of Bahamani was Hyderabad and the population was 70.2 million. The Bahamani military was modernised, standing at roughly 80,000, with 15% of the national navy harboured at Bahamani ports. The Bahamani port cities of Mahmudpur played a major role in international trade due to its strategic position, competing against Caliphates ports. In the economic sector, rice played the role as a major food crop to be exported. However, other important crops such as cotton, sugar cane, mango and tobacco maintained a major presence in Bahamanis exports as well. About the same time, the Bahamani textile and fishery industries reached new heights.

 * Khedivate of Aceh Darrusalam: The Capital of Aceh was Banda and the population was 13.5 million. The Aceh military was modernised, standing at roughly 30,000 with 10% of the national navy harboured at Aceh ports. In the economic sector, rice played the role as a major food crop to be exported. However, other important crops such as tea, sugar cane, mango and tobacco maintained a major presence in Aceh's exports as well. About the same time, the Aceh fishery, oil and mining industries were of significant importance as well. Major oil and gas reserves are discovered by Spanish and Indian experts in Aceh, who collaborate on the project as per the Treaty of Hague. With the arrival of the Juan Standardo Oilo Company, extraction of the oil begins. Indian geological experts continue to seek out oil deposits, as it is assumed that Aceh has potential for being rich in oil.
 * Indian Overseas Territories: Naval bases continue to be built to enforce claims on several islands such as Mauritius, Seychelles, Tromelin and Reunion. The Indian Navy attempted to enforce complete control over the Indian Ocean, aggressively patrolling the sea to combat Somalian pirates.
 * Indian - Croatian Diplomacy: The Empire of India requests the Ban Republic of Croatia to return the enclave of Goa to Indian authorities in order to fulfill the Imperial Edict of 1907.
 * Korea: Korea continues to build up its military. Meanwhile, more Taoist and Buddhist temples are built. Taoism rises in popularity and gains more followers. Regular (read: not Imperial) Shinto gains a few more followers as well, mainly along the coastline in Southeastern Korea, particularly in Busan, Jejudo, Ulsan, and the coastal cities and coastal towns of Southern Gyeongsang Province. Mahayana Tao-Shintoism also continues to grow, and begins gaining followers from the areas where Shinto is growing, with some Shintoists switching to Mahayana Tao-Shintoism. The military in the colony of Haejagang (해자강) continues to be on high alert and continues to heavily patrol the Korean settlements. Meanwhile, industrialisation and modernisation continues in Korea (similar to OTL Japan's Meiji Restoration). Monarch Hyomyeong continues investing in technology and science.

San Francisco and Mamterlliq continue to be the main centers of the gold trade, while oil wells begin to speckle the coastal range of California. More oil wells are built in Upper Alaska, bringing entrepreneurs to that region. Large monopolies on lumber and animal products are also prevalent in Santiago and Pannenstiel. All of these businesses are connected with diesel trains that span the continent. As the various earlier philosophies continue to grow and factionalize, these turn into competing ideas that promote further progression and ingenuity from the younger generation. Films in color are becoming more popular. Electrical power continues to spread, although one scientist claims to have created better light by conducting gas. A theory of quanta is developed to explain phenomenon as smaller levels, and more theories follow to develop machines at this level. Scientist Wilhelm Dunkhullta successfully fissions a single atom this year. Tanks continue being developed. X-rays are being used to interpret internal injuries. Airplanes begin being built on the Remen design in Pannenstiel. We continue to uphold the New Munich Declaration along with Algonquia, Reme, Mexaca, and Arcadia. An organization for promoting peace in the Pacific is established, whose members currently include Korea, China and Ayutthaya. As more industrial goods continue to pour in from Reme, Borealian entrepreneurs begin selling more oil, gold, lumber, and livestock to the East Coast.  Industrial goods are sent to Brazil and China to improve their respective economies. The Gothic movement reunites in favor of this compromise, although certain extremist remain suspicious of Germany going back on their word again. Most feel like this is a step toward ending Borealian imperialism. The Curia holds Germany to its agreement in the Treaty of Dandiri
 * The State of Australia: The state greatly increases this year by beginning joint control over the colony of New Mecklenburg, provided by Germany on the provision of ceding the whole colony by 1938. The capital of the state is centered at Dandiri (OTL Brisbane), which administer over all land settlements and the Luwrit Sea (OTL Tasman Sea). Schools and media centers are established that teach Borealianist philosophy along with essential education. Supplies and engineers are continually sent to the Timor Sultanate to improve their industry. Settlements begin to grow around the Lake Eyre region. The natives of Australia are pleased to learn of their coming independence. However, seeing the unprovoked military mobilization on Germany's part last year, Australia demands monetary reparations from Germany.
 * The Commonwealth of Oceana: Naval bases continue being built to enforce claims on several islands (from OTL Palau to Fiji). A major naval base is constructed on the Island of Midway in the Republic of Hawaii. Another major naval base is constructed in Fiji to complement the base on Midway. Exploration of West Antarctica continues. The nation considers expanding the Treaty of Midway over the waters within the Luwrit Sea. Military from Borealia is convoyed to these islands.
 * Colony of Kinshasa: With the incorporated French colony, continues to expand its lumber and mining companies with cheap labor picked up from surrounding natives. An organized government forms along with some small villages. The border expands inward 750 px.
 * Colony of North Antarctica: A small base is established on Antarctica's northernmost peninsula, inhabited only six months of the year. A lighthouse begins construction to aid shipping that travels south of Cape Horn.
 * Commonwealth Duchy of Oldenburg: The economy has improved somewhat in the past two years, with things not as desperate as they once were. The government supports the negotiated end to the Australian Crisis but does not think that reparations are due to the State of Australia. The mobilisation was rather reminiscent to Borealia's own mobilisation during the War, and as such, the government does not think reparations are in order. This is, however, just the opinion of the Duchy's Landtag, not official German policy, and it should not be taken as such. The Crisis has caused a spike in popularity for the Patriotic Front, which denounces the wartime agreement as being forced upon Germany whilst it was nobly fighting the Communists, and thus invalid. The party also points out the immense hypocrisy of Borealia's position. In the words of the PF's surprisingly eloquent leader, Bastian Hoppe; "Borealia dares to lecture Germany for 'wishing to keep its colonies' whilst Borealia clings with iron grip to its own colonies in Africa and the Pacific! They preach freedom whilst imperialising to their heart's content. I am ashamed to acknowledge them as scions of the German race." The Government, from Duke Wilhelm II down, strongly denounces the PF's view as extremist, telling Borealia's ambassadors that the PF is an extremist fringe minority, whose words should be given no weight, as well as reaffirming their commitment to the negotiated solution. [Note: I included the PF's view for the purposes of developing my domestic politics] In other news, some of the Spitzbergen coal mines reopen, now under national management.
 * Commonwealth Lordship of Neu Norderney: The government goes into crisis management mode, doing everything within its power to assure and reassure Algonquia of its feelings of goodwill toward them, and that the Australia Crisis was a mere difference of opinion solely between Germany and Borealia, which has now been smoothed over by the peaceful negotiations. the Council of the Beothuk Autonomous Territory are somewhat bemused by the re-founding of the Beothuk National Front, asking, "What more could they want? We have won all of the advantages of sovereignty, without the burdens of independence!" In other news, the hydroelectric dam in Western Neu Norderney is nearing completion.
 * Algonquia feels regrettably little trust for Germany's assurances, since it has shown a willingness to break bilateral agreements whenever it sees benefit in it. The Beothuk Nationalist Front's leaders point out that the amnesty or the recent agreements that established an autonomous territory are now effectively invalid, since Germany could break them at the drop of a hat.
 * Lombardy: Our military is continuing to increase due to technology becoming better. Factories still make weapons and vehicles for our military but they are not the mostly made items. With the increase of factories in the nation, more jobs are beingcreated. The employment rate has continued to increase in the nation. Agriculture is the best industry in the nation. The railway industry is continuing to work on improving the tracks. Doctors are now continuing to use X-rays to see the inside of people. Cars are now becoming popular with the middle class people, and not just the rich society. Trade goes well with the Roman Empire. The navy continues to make ships for trade and for future tensions. We continue to build many buildings like hospitals, colleges and banks. This is the ninth straight year we slowly annex Sardinia into our nation. We send more troops to Sardinia to make sure that it does not fall to the French.
 * Republic of China: Recent polling reports a lead for the Chinese Nationalist Party, scaring the ruling Conservative Party, which decides to create a minimum wage, the equivalent of £5 today. We invade Tibet, with no response yet received from Japan or India. We ask for an alliance with Borealia, in case Japan attaks us. We condemn the aggressive French remilitarisation, asking for it not to attack any countries. Meanwhile, we offer bailout for the countries in China that are struggling, asking for them to aid us in war with Tibet.
 * Roman Empire: The Roman Empire continues to recover from the shock of the Great War, in which many good Romans died. The Empire also focuses on its internal security and stability after noticing the power of the revolt in Africa and remembering painful memories of revolts in Italy and Egypt. Economic and civic policy are seen as key to improving stability and cohesiveness in the Empire. With that said, the Empire does have several foreign policy successes to note as well, mainly the unification of the Tartary and the return of order in the steppes. Trade continues to go well and the military continues to have a major part of Roman society, and new weapons like tanks, planes, and better submarines now play a significant role in the way the Empire wages war. The financial crisis affects the Empire badly, and the economy suffers and many go without work. The current administration works to help mediate the crisis even though it knows its days are numbered. The civil war in the caliphate forces the Empire and its ally Assyria to be on guard. However, there are no current plans to get involved other than to increase security at the border. In foreign affairs, the Roman government criticizes the invasion of Tibet by China, saying that the Chinese are invading a country that has done nothing to them. In addition, the Imperial government criticizes Germany's decision to revoke the agreement with Borealia. However, the Imperial government also warns that Borealia's ultimatum increases the chance of war and suggests returning to the table. 
 * Reme: Reme begins to build up its military and economy. Reme elects a new president and starts to build up its navy. Meanwhile, trade is improved on, with industrialization, mainly former Byzantine areas slowly being introduced to populous areas. Lumber, cash crops, and other goods become a major export of Reme, and starts getting Reme a jump-start into the European economy. There is also the creation of New navy ships, to help modernize the Reman navy. Coal mines are built, and starts churning out coal at a consistent rate. Coal mining plants are also started to be upgraded. Reme also starts very slowly changing its focus to industrial things, with a nationwide railroad being considered to be built. Industrialization of river areas continue, as well as the production of textiles to cheaper the price of Reman cotton. Meanwhile, a Socialist-based party starts to gain seats in parliament, with plans to make Reme a more self-sufficient state. People are getting anxious over the threat of Communism to Reme, and vote on the crackdown of Communist sympathizers and their families. The Reman government is pleased that Pearl River has voted to join the Empire, and promises that their rights and property will be maintained. The Reman military is improved a bit in an effort to hold up its part of the Fraternal Alliance. The economy suffers a great deal, and as a result the Socialists and outlawed Communists get a bit too eager in their expression that they have the correct answer, resulting in many demonstrations and some riots.
 * Protectorate of Wolof: Wolof begins to build up its military and economy. Reman food and supplies come in to help the formerly starving nation, as well as the Reman military to help sustain order. Some representation is given in the Reman Parliament, to give Wolof a minimal say in how Reme should be run. Meanwhile, plans to industrialize the coastal areas as well as plans for fortifications are presented, and are started being worked on.
 * Commonwealth States (Bavaria): We continue to develop our military and economy. We attempt to improve relations with France, and  support the return of Sardinia to France after years of Lombard annexation. We also offer French citizens in Alsace-Lorraine, owned by Germany, to have more autonomy.
 * Algonquia suffers from the economic downturn, with the Centrists losing control of the government to the Transitional Communists yet again. The Algonquia populace is, although generally left-wing, also very anti-Arcadian, so aid is sent to Reme to help suppress the Arcadian revolts. Submarines continue to be produced in large numbers, technology having advanced considerably, while major public works are undertaken to provide employment, notably a nationwide railway upgrade. Algonquia expands north, as does Sahutudene, while the Zollern Insels improve their economy.
 * Spain  continues to prosper as a center of the arts and learning despite economic hardship. The construction of new buildings, roads and other infrastructure continues. but government funded projects end as the government begins using money in other places in an effort to save the falling economy. Spanish businesses expand across Spanish territories and into other nations. The buildings rise higher and the trains run faster, especially in the major cities such as Zaragoza, Barcelona and Madrid. Cars and planes and all sorts of cool modern stuff. Spain continues to lay claim to Antarctica. The construction of ships and weaponry continues. Boats and guns and cars. Spain increases the number of battle ready ships in the Royal Armada, although at a much slower rate. More automatic weaponry stuff. The Spanish colony of West Africa expands 8000 sq km north in the west and east, totaling 16,000 sq km. Croats in Dahomey retain their rights. Dahomey expands 8000 sq km into the interior of Africa. The Spanish colony in southwest Africa expands 8000 sq km inland as well. Spain continues to develop better tanks. Planes improve. Fortunata Cardona continues enacting measures that begin to restore the strength of the Spanish economy. Spain begins to reman the Vega Line because of French militarization. #NoMoreWikiaChanges

 * Algeria continues to feel the effects of the recession in Spain. Algerian banks lose money fast, since they did not place security measures in place as soon as possible, unlike Singapore. Boats, guns, planes, cars. Algeria takes similar measures to Spain against Germany.
 * Singapore also continues to develop naval technology to protect its economic interests with the aid of Spain. Singapore is affected by the economic crisis in Spain, but to a smaller degree, so the Singapore government continues to put security measures in place to prevent further losses.

1931
''' An extremist authoritarian comes to power in the Tartary, espousing Turkic nationalism and the return of Tartar lands taken from the historic Tartary. '''

''' The People of Sardania, mostly ethnic French, begin to revolt, 100% against the idea of joining Lombardy. (Popular Revolt). With the ongoing revolt, the new French Government decides to invade Lombardy to reclaim other lands taken from them. '''


 * Indian Empire: Queen Farah Shah was proclaimed the Empress of India in 1888, starting a new era. The Indian population rose to about 441,772,000, and the flocking of the people to coastal cities continued, with a mass increase of population in Kolkata, Mahmudpur, Karachi, Mumbai, Surat and various other minor cities and townships throughout the state. The Indian army, equipped with semi-modern armaments stood at 720,000 troops with an additional 250,000 reserves whilst the Imperial Guard was composed of 20,000 troops and the armament industry thrived on local and national level, with armaments rarely imported from foreign nations. The Indian navy experimented on ironclads and had started production of larger classes of steam engine ships, churning out first rate ironclads for various fleets, and more third rates, and fourth rates with the occasional second rate to augment the smaller patrol fleets with 40% of the national navy harboured at the Andaman and Kolkata ports. In agriculture was the largest economic focus of India, exporting various crops to foreign nations with the international jute and cotton textile production largely under Indian control. Along the same time, the Indian Renaissance were in full swing, with movements such as the Young India movement having aided in national modernisation and a massive rise in literacy and education, with major developments in Chemistry, Physics, Biology etc. Moreover, promotion of industrialisation and capitalism allowed the Imperial authorities to construct a Trans-National Railway, connecting the entire Empire as well as introduction of many other commodities such as telephones, bulbs, electricity. India develops its third bomber plane, the IA-82 and works on the Agni III. Along the same time, companies producing military weapons start to grow throughout India. 
 * Khedivate of Bahamani: The Capital of Bahamani was Hyderabad and the population was 70.2 million. The Bahamani military was modernised, standing at roughly 80,000, with 15% of the national navy harboured at Bahamani ports. The Bahamani port cities of Mahmudpur played a major role in international trade due to its strategic position, competing against Caliphates ports. In the economic sector, rice played the role as a major food crop to be exported. However, other important crops such as cotton, sugar cane, mango and tobacco maintained a major presence in Bahamanis exports as well. About the same time, the Bahamani textile and fishery industries reached new heights.
 * Khedivate of Udaipur: The Capital of Udaipur was Ahmadabad and the population was 50.8 million. The Udaipuri military was modernised, standing at roughly 160,000, with 20% of the national navy harboured at Bahamani ports. The Udaipuri port cities of Karachi and Surat played a major role in international trade due to their strategic position, competing against Caliphates ports. In the economic sector, wheat played the role as a major food crop to be exported. However, other important crops such as rice, cotton, cotton and ruits maintained a major presence in Udaipurs exports as well. About the same time, the Udaipur fishery, sugar and leather industries were of significant importance as well.
 * Khedivate of Vijaynagar: The Capital of Vijaynagar was Coimbatore and the population was 30.4 million. The Vijaynagari military was modernised, standing at roughly 120,000 with 15% of the national navy harboured at Vijaynagari ports. The Vijaynagari port city of Chennai played a major role in international trade due to its strategic position, competing against Lankan ports. In the economic sector, rice played the role as a major food crop to be exported. However, other important crops such as tea, sugar cane, mango and tobacco maintained a major presence in Vijaynagars exports as well. About the same time, the Vijaynagari fishery and leather industries were of significant importance as well.
 * Khedivate of Aceh Darrusalam: The Capital of Aceh was Banda and the population was 13.5 million. The Aceh military was modernised, standing at roughly 30,000 with 10% of the national navy harboured at Aceh ports. In the economic sector, rice played the role as a major food crop to be exported. However, other important crops such as tea, sugar cane, mango and tobacco maintained a major presence in Aceh's exports as well. About the same time, the Aceh fishery, oil and mining industries were of significant importance as well. Major oil and gas reserves are discovered by Spanish and Indian experts in Aceh, who collaborate on the project as per the Treaty of Hague. With the arrival of the Juan Standardo Oilo Company, extraction of the oil begins. Indian geological experts continue to seek out oil deposits, as it is assumed that Aceh has potential for being rich in oil.
 * Indian Overseas Territories: Naval bases continue to be built to enforce claims on several islands such as Mauritius, Seychelles, Tromelin and Reunion. The Indian Navy attempted to enforce complete control over the Indian Ocean, aggressively patrolling the sea to combat Somalian pirates.
 * Indian - Croatian Diplomacy: The Empire of India requests the Ban Republic of Croatia to return the enclave of Goa to Indian authorities in order to fulfill the Imperial Edict of 1907.
 * Croatia accepts in exchange for a payment.
 * Commonwealth Kingdoms: New Mecklenburg, Kameroon, and German West Africa expand by 750 px each. The treaty of Dandiri is signed, and New Mecklenburg is beginning to get prepared for its independence. The economy sees a slight increase after almost eight years of depression, and it's believed the austerity measures have helped so far, and so their renewed for the time being. Naval research and development, especially with carriers and submarines, continues. Emperor Friedrich and the Government take note of the new Franco-Lombard war.


 * Ruthenia: The Ruthenians continue to transform Minsk into an airship hub.
 * Korea: Korea continues to build up its military. Meanwhile, more Taoist and Buddhist temples are built. Taoism rises in popularity and gains more followers. Regular (read: not Imperial) Shinto gains a few more followers as well, mainly along the coastline in Southeastern Korea, particularly in Busan, Jejudo, Ulsan, and the coastal cities and coastal towns of Southern Gyeongsang Province. Mahayana Tao-Shintoism also continues to grow, and begins gaining followers from the areas where Shinto is growing, with some Shintoists switching to Mahayana Tao-Shintoism. The military in the colony of Haejagang (해자강) continues to be on high alert and continues to heavily patrol the Korean settlements. Meanwhile, industrialisation and modernisation continues in Korea (similar to OTL Japan's Meiji Restoration). Monarch Hyomyeong continues investing in technology and science. The Hyundai Motor Company continues to build more cars.
 * Borealia_Flag_2.png Union of Borealia: Both the economy and military improve across all the provinces of the Union. The thriving industries now run entirely on petroleum, procured from the oil collected from Alaska and California. While the traditional hearts of each city, particularly New Vienna, continue to reflect the same idyllic Baroque style, newer expansions to these urban centers are packed with factories and other industrial equipment. Cities recently built in southern California and northern Alaska are much more developed, as some parts of the Kiatagmiut province are almost unrecognizable. The economy of the Union stems from the exportation of natural resources. San Francisco and Mamterlliq continue to be the main centers of the gold trade, while oil wells begin to speckle the coastal range of California. More oil wells are built in Upper Alaska, bringing entrepreneurs to that region. Large monopolies on lumber and animal products are also prevalent in Santiago and Pannenstiel. All of these businesses are connected with diesel trains that span the continent. As the various earlier philosophies continue to grow and factionalize, these turn into competing ideas that promote further progression and ingenuity from the younger generation. Films in color are becoming more popular. Electrical power continues to spread, although one scientist claims to have created better light by conducting gas. A theory of quanta is developed to explain phenomenon as smaller levels, and more theories follow to develop machines at this level. Scientist Wilhelm Dunkhullta begins working on a prototype nuclear reactor. Tanks continue being developed. X-rays are being used to interpret internal injuries. Airplanes begin being built on the Remen design in Pannenstiel. We continue to uphold the New Munich Declaration along with Algonquia, Reme, Mexaca, and Arcadia. An organization for promoting peace in the Pacific is established, whose members currently include Korea, China and Ayutthaya. As more industrial goods continue to pour in from Reme, Borealian entrepreneurs begin selling more oil, gold, lumber, and livestock to the East Coast. Industrial goods are sent to Brazil and China to improve their respective economies. The Gothic movement reunites in favor of this compromise, although certain extremist remain suspicious of Germany going back on their word again. Most feel like this is a step toward ending Borealian imperialism. The Curia holds Germany to its agreement in the Treaty of Dandiri
 * The State of Australia: The state greatly increases this year by beginning joint control over the colony of New Mecklenburg, provided by Germany on the provision of ceding the whole colony by 1938. The capital of the state is centered at Dandiri (OTL Brisbane), which administer over all land settlements and the Luwrit Sea (OTL Tasman Sea). Schools and media centers are established that teach Borealianist philosophy along with essential education. Supplies and engineers are continually sent to the Timor Sultanate to improve their industry. Settlements begin to grow around the Lake Eyre region. Australia accepts Germany's apology, but focuses more on organizing their own independence.
 * The Commonwealth of Oceana: Naval bases continue being built to enforce claims on several islands (from OTL Palau to Fiji). A major naval base is constructed on the Island of Midway in the Republic of Hawaii. Another major naval base is constructed in Fiji to complement the base on Midway. Exploration of West Antarctica continues. The nation considers expanding the Treaty of Midway over the waters within the Luwrit Sea. Military from Borealia is convoyed to these islands.
 * Colony of Kinshasa: With the incorporated French colony, continues to expand its lumber and mining companies with cheap labor picked up from surrounding natives. An organized government forms along with some small villages. The border expands inward 750 px.
 * Colony of North Antarctica: A small base is established on Antarctica's northernmost peninsula, inhabited only six months of the year. A lighthouse begins construction to aid shipping that travels south of Cape Horn.
 * Commonwealth Duchy of Oldenburg: After some intense negotiations, the Duke signs the Treaty of Dandiri. The treaty has the full support of the High Council, and majority support in the Landtag. The Catholic-Socialist coalition government sees it as a good, peaceful agreement which will guarantee stability in the Australia continent for the foreseeable future. The Patriotic Front sees it as a disgraceful capitulation by the German government. The PF continues to slowly gain members and momentum, accompanied by an increase in attacks on Jews, Communists, and even the offices of Catholic Bloc MPs. The economy continues to improve. With the OHG's mining operations largely nationalised, the board begins a process of realignment, focusing more on transport and retail and less on primary industry. A small whaling fleet is, however, maintained.
 * Commonwealth Lordship of Neu Norderney: Glad that the Australian Crisis is now over, the government focuses on improving the economy, something made easier by the opening of the hydroelectric dam this year. Lord Conrad, the Premier, the Premier of the BAT, tribal chieftains/representatives, the Bishop and numerous other dignitaries are all present for the official opening. In his speech, the Lord praised the tireless efforts of the thousands of workers who worked on the project, calling them national heroes.
 * The Union of Borealia encourages New Norderney to join in the economic free zone and political unity by considering signing the Fourth Treaty of Chan Chan.


 * Lombardy: Our military is continuing to increase due to technology becoming better. Factories still make weapons and vehicles for our military but they are not the mostly made items. With the increase of factories in the nation, more jobs are beingcreated. The employment rate has continued to increase in the nation. Agriculture is the best industry in the nation. The railway industry is continuing to work on improving the tracks. Doctors are now continuing to use X-rays to see the inside of people. Cars are now becoming popular with the middle class people, and not just the rich society. Trade goes well with the Roman Empire. The navy continues to make ships for trade and for future tensions. We continue to build many buildings like hospitals, colleges and banks. This is the 10th straight year we slowly annex Sardinia into our nation. Since the French are invading us, We send troops into France to attack.
 * Nederlanden: We support the French in attacking Lombardy, who has violated the treaty by trying to annex Sardinia. We enact an embargo against the Lombards. Other stuff happens. (Mil and Eco).
 * Luxembourg: (Infra and Eco).
 * Dutch France: (Infra and Mil).
 * Emeraldie:  The land forces stand at 90,000 men, with 70,000 in reserve, modernisation of the armed forces is completed. Vast industrial expansion occurs in the region following years of government encouragement and subsidies.  With the booming economy, the government begins investing heavily in education and infrastructure. In other news, the first domestically produced cars are built, with companies taking advantage of the growing petrol supply. The Royal Air Corps is expanded with new purpose built aircraft, it now includes 50 planes and seven bomber Zeppelins. The world's first aircraft carrier is completed, christened HMES Charlemagne, it represents the pinnacle of naval aeronautics . The Royal Airship Company expands its operations across the continent. In a controversial move the government passes a military and economic support act in the direction of France, with support from the Emeraldian Fascist Union.
 * Emeraldie Pacific Territories: The territorial government is granted the ability to control a small armed force to maintain peace in the region and protect from native aggression, its current numbers are around 8000 men.
 * Roman Empire: The Roman Empire continues to recover from the shock of the Great War, in which many good Romans died. The Empire also focuses on its internal security and stability after noticing the power of the revolt in Africa and remembering painful memories of revolts in Italy and Egypt. Economic and civic policy are seen as key to improving stability and cohesiveness in the Empire. With that said, the Empire does have several foreign policy successes to note as well, mainly the unification of the Tartary and the return of order in the steppes. Trade continues to go well and the military continues to have a major part of Roman society, and new weapons like tanks, planes, and better submarines now play a significant role in the way the Empire wages war. The financial crisis affects the Empire badly, and the economy suffers and many go without work. The current administration works to help mediate the crisis even though it knows its days are numbered. The civil war in the caliphate forces the Empire and its ally Assyria to be on guard. Research in new areas of science continues. However, there are no current plans to get involved other than to increase security at the border. Supplies are sent to Holy League member Lombardy to help them resist the French invasion.
 * Reme: Reme begins to build up its military and economy. Reme elects a new president and starts to build up its navy. Meanwhile, trade is improved on, with industrialization, mainly former Byzantine areas slowly being introduced to populous areas. Lumber, cash crops, and other goods become a major export of Reme, and starts getting Reme a jump-start into the European economy. There is also the creation of New navy ships, to help modernize the Reman navy. Coal mines are built, and starts churning out coal at a consistent rate.

Some representation is given in the Reman Parliament, to give Wolof a minimal say in how Reme should be run. Meanwhile, plans to industrialize the coastal areas as well as plans for fortifications are presented, and are started being worked on.
 * Spain  continues to prosper as a center of the arts and learning despite economic hardship. The construction of new buildings, roads and other infrastructure continues but government funded projects end as the government begins using money in other places in an effort to save the falling economy. Spanish businesses expand across Spanish territories and into other nations. The buildings rise higher and the trains run faster, especially in the major cities such as Zaragoza, Barcelona and Madrid. Cars and planes and all sorts of cool modern stuff. Spain continues to lay claim to Antarctica. The construction of ships and weaponry continues. Boats and guns and cars. Spain increases the number of battle ready ships in the Royal Armada, although at a much slower rate. More automatic weaponry stuff. The Spanish colony of West Africa expands 8000 sq km north in the west and east, totaling 16,000 sq km. Croats in Dahomey retain their rights. Dahomey expands 8000 sq km into the interior of Africa. The Spanish colony in southwest Africa expands 8000 sq km inland as well. Spain continues to develop better tanks. Planes improve. Fortunata Cardona continues enacting measures that begin to restore the strength of the Spanish economy. Spain continues to restore the Vega Line because of French militarization. #NoMoreWikiaChanges


 * Algeria continues to feel the effects of the recession. Boats, guns, planes, cars. Karam Castillion is elected Prime Minister.
 * Singapore also continues to develop naval technology to protect its economic interests with the aid of Spain. Singapore recovers from the economic crisis mainly due to extreme measures taken by the General Secretary.

1932

 * Indian Empire: Queen Farah Shah was proclaimed the Empress of India in 1888, starting a new era. The Indian population rose to about 441,772,000, and the flocking of the people to coastal cities continued, with a mass increase of population in Kolkata, Mahmudpur, Karachi, Mumbai, Surat and various other minor cities and townships throughout the state. The Indian army, equipped with semi-modern armaments stood at 720,000 troops with an additional 250,000 reserves whilst the Imperial Guard was composed of 20,000 troops and the armament industry thrived on local and national level, with armaments rarely imported from foreign nations. The Indian navy experimented on ironclads and had started production of larger classes of steam engine ships, churning out first rate ironclads for various fleets, and more third rates, and fourth rates with the occasional second rate to augment the smaller patrol fleets with 40% of the national navy harboured at the Andaman and Kolkata ports. In agriculture was the largest economic focus of India, exporting various crops to foreign nations with the international jute and cotton textile production largely under Indian control. Along the same time, the Indian Renaissance were in full swing, with movements such as the Young India movement having aided in national modernisation and a massive rise in literacy and education, with major developments in Chemistry, Physics, Biology etc. Moreover, promotion of industrialisation and capitalism allowed the Imperial authorities to construct a Trans-National Railway, connecting the entire Empire as well as introduction of many other commodities such as telephones, bulbs, electricity. India hosts the international Olympic Games in the city of Kolkata, bringing fame and glory to the Empire. 
 * Khedivate of Bahamani: The Capital of Bahamani was Hyderabad and the population was 70.2 million. The Bahamani military was modernised, standing at roughly 80,000, with 15% of the national navy harboured at Bahamani ports. The Bahamani port cities of Mahmudpur played a major role in international trade due to its strategic position, competing against Caliphates ports.

About the same time, the Bahamani textile and fishery industries reached new heights.
 * Mongolia: In both Mongolia and Chagtai industry is heavily improved.
 * Khedivate of Udaipur: The Capital of Udaipur was Ahmadabad and the population was 50.8 million. The Udaipuri military was modernised, standing at roughly 160,000, with 20% of the national navy harboured at Bahamani ports. The Udaipuri port cities of Karachi and Surat played a major role in international trade due to their strategic position, competing against Caliphates ports. In the economic sector, wheat played the role as a major food crop to be exported. However, other important crops such as rice, cotton, cotton and ruits maintained a major presence in Udaipurs exports as well. About the same time, the Udaipur fishery, sugar and leather industries were of significant importance as well.
 * Khedivate of Vijaynagar: The Capital of Vijaynagar was Coimbatore and the population was 30.4 million. The Vijaynagari military was modernised, standing at roughly 120,000 with 15% of the national navy harboured at Vijaynagari ports. The Vijaynagari port city of Chennai played a major role in international trade due to its strategic position, competing against Lankan ports. In the economic sector, rice played the role as a major food crop to be exported. However, other important crops such as tea, sugar cane, mango and tobacco maintained a major presence in Vijaynagars exports as well. About the same time, the Vijaynagari fishery and leather industries were of significant importance as well.
 * Khedivate of Aceh Darrusalam: The Capital of Aceh was Banda and the population was 13.5 million. The Aceh military was modernised, standing at roughly 30,000 with 10% of the national navy harboured at Aceh ports. In the economic sector, rice played the role as a major food crop to be exported. However, other important crops such as tea, sugar cane, mango and tobacco maintained a major presence in Aceh's exports as well. About the same time, the Aceh fishery, oil and mining industries were of significant importance as well. Major oil and gas reserves are discovered by Spanish and Indian experts in Aceh, who collaborate on the project as per the Treaty of Hague. With the arrival of the Juan Standardo Oilo Company, extraction of the oil begins. Indian geological experts continue to seek out oil deposits, as it is assumed that Aceh has potential for being rich in oil.
 * Indian Overseas Territories: Naval bases continue to be built to enforce claims on several islands such as Mauritius, Seychelles, Tromelin and Reunion. The Indian Navy attempted to enforce complete control over the Indian Ocean, aggressively patrolling the sea to combat Somalian pirates.
 * You didn't win the Olympic vote. You tied.
 * Korea: Korea continues to build up its military. Meanwhile, more Taoist and Buddhist temples are built. Taoism rises in popularity and gains more followers. Regular (read: not Imperial) Shinto gains a few more followers as well, mainly along the coastline in Southeastern Korea, particularly in Busan, Jejudo, Ulsan, and the coastal cities and coastal towns of Southern Gyeongsang Province. Mahayana Tao-Shintoism also continues to grow, and begins gaining followers from the areas where Shinto is growing, with some Shintoists switching to Mahayana Tao-Shintoism. The military in the colony of Haejagang (해자강) continues to be on high alert and continues to heavily patrol the Korean settlements. Meanwhile, industrialisation and modernisation continues in Korea (similar to OTL Japan's Meiji Restoration). Monarch Hyomyeong continues investing in technology and science. The Hyundai Motor Company continues to build more cars.
 * Borealia_Flag_2.png Union of Borealia: Both the economy and military improve across all the provinces of the Union. The thriving industries now run entirely on petroleum, procured from the oil collected from Alaska and California. While the traditional hearts of each city, particularly New Vienna, continue to reflect the same idyllic Baroque style, newer expansions to these urban centers are packed with factories and other industrial equipment. Cities recently built in southern California and northern Alaska are much more developed, as some parts of the Kiatagmiut province are almost unrecognizable. The economy of the Union stems from the exportation of natural resources. San Francisco and Mamterlliq continue to be the main centers of the gold trade, while oil wells begin to speckle the coastal range of California. More oil wells are built in Upper Alaska, bringing entrepreneurs to that region. Large monopolies on lumber and animal products are also prevalent in Santiago and Pannenstiel. All of these businesses are connected with diesel trains that span the continent. As the various earlier philosophies continue to grow and factionalize, these turn into competing ideas that promote further progression and ingenuity from the younger generation. Films in color are becoming more popular. Electrical power continues to spread, although one scientist claims to have created better light by conducting gas. A theory of quanta is developed to explain phenomenon as smaller levels, and more theories follow to develop machines at this level. Scientist Wilhelm Dunkhullta begins working on a prototype nuclear reactor. Tanks continue being developed. X-rays are being used to interpret internal injuries. Airplanes begin being built on the Remen design in Pannenstiel. We continue to uphold the New Munich Declaration along with Algonquia, Reme, Mexaca, and Arcadia. An organization for promoting peace in the Pacific is established, whose members currently include Korea, China and Ayutthaya. As more industrial goods continue to pour in from Reme, Borealian entrepreneurs begin selling more oil, gold, lumber, and livestock to the East Coast. Industrial goods are sent to Brazil and China to improve their respective economies. The Gothic movement reunites in favor of this compromise, although certain extremist remain suspicious of Germany going back on their word again. Most feel like this is a step toward ending Borealian imperialism. The Curia holds Germany to its agreement in the Treaty of Dandiri
 * The State of Australia: The state greatly increases this year by beginning joint control over the colony of New Mecklenburg, provided by Germany on the provision of ceding the whole colony by 1938. The capital of the state is centered at Dandiri (OTL Brisbane), which administer over all land settlements and the Luwrit Sea (OTL Tasman Sea). Schools and media centers are established that teach Borealianist philosophy along with essential education. Supplies and engineers are continually sent to the Timor Sultanate to improve their industry. Settlements begin to grow around the Lake Eyre region. Australia accepts Germany's apology, but focuses more on organizing their own independence.
 * The Commonwealth of Oceana: Naval bases continue being built to enforce claims on several islands (from OTL Palau to Fiji). A major naval base is constructed on the Island of Midway in the Republic of Hawaii. Another major naval base is constructed in Fiji to complement the base on Midway. Exploration of West Antarctica continues. The nation considers expanding the Treaty of Midway over the waters within the Luwrit Sea. Military from Borealia is convoyed to these islands.
 * Colony of Kinshasa: With the incorporated French colony, continues to expand its lumber and mining companies with cheap labor picked up from surrounding natives. An organized government forms along with some small villages. The border expands inward 750 px.
 * Colony of North Antarctica: A small base is established on Antarctica's northernmost peninsula, inhabited only six months of the year. A lighthouse begins construction to aid shipping that travels south of Cape Horn.
 * Commonwealth Duchy of Oldenburg: With the economy looking better, the military is built up, with a focus on incorporating technological advances, such as better airships and aeroplanes, guns, and ships (of course, this is done incrementally). The government is intrigued by Borealia's offer to Neu Norderney to join the Chan Chan Treaty, believing it may prove beneficial for German-Borealian relations. This opinion is forwarded to the Lord and his government, but the Duke and the Oldenburger Landtag make no effort to attempt to influence the Lordship's free decision. The PF, naturally, see the proposal as yet another sign of the weakness of the German state against Borealia's unceasing attempts to destroy it.
 * Lordship of Neu Norderney: Borealia's proposal of last year has occasioned much lively debate in Neu Norderney, both in the Landtag and amongst the general public. The potential economic benefits are considered by most to be very tempting. The political dimension, however, is the main cause for disagreement. Those supportive of the proposal think it an excellent opportunity to get concrete recognition of Neu Norderney's borders and sovereignity, whilst those opposing it see it as either a "trap" or a sure fire way to become entangled in New World squabbles. The government sends a telegram to Borealia stating that Neu Norderney is generally interested (although a final decision is yet to be reached), and also pointing out that, were Neu Norderney to sign, Germany as a whole would effectively have to as well (since Neu Norderney is but a member-monarchy of the German Commonwealth). The Other German States are contacted for their input. In other news, the hydroelectric dam begins providing power to Jacqueline, as well as other major towns.
 * Lombardy: Our military is continuing to increase due to technology becoming better. Factories still make weapons and vehicles for our military but they are not the mostly made items. With the increase of factories in the nation, more jobs are being created. The employment rate has continued to increase in the nation. Agriculture is the best industry in the nation. The railway industry is continuing to work on improving the tracks. Doctors are now continuing to use X-rays to see the inside of people. Cars are now becoming popular with the middle class people, and not just the rich society. Trade goes well with the Roman Empire. The navy continues to make ships for trade and for future tensions. We continue to build many buildings like hospitals, colleges and banks. This is the tenth straight year we slowly annex Sardinia into our nation. The military continues to send troops into France. King Giovanni dies this year at the age of 64. His son Mario takes the throne. Statues are being made in the town square for Giovanni.
 * Ruthenia: The Ruthenians continue to transform Minsk into an airship hub.
 * Voivodeship of Czechia: “Tragedy:The Voivode is Dead!” screams the front page of the Prague Daily. Yes, across the nation of Czechia millions mourn the untimely death of Silvester Duran. There is great sadness as his wisdom and leadership healed the painful scars of civil war and saw the dawn of a new age of Czech prosperity. Despite the crippling recession of the past years Czechia has recovered much of its prewar strength, and has regained a stable and growing economy. The completion of one of the Voivodes last acts as leader is celebrated shortly after his death with the coronation of the Grand Duran Dam which will provide electricity for thousands of homes and factories. Unfortunately, Voivode Duran never had any children, and with no named successor the Czech thrown stands unclaimed. With no formal power present in the nation, and no apparent heir to the Czech throne the leaders of every municipality and region convene in Prague to establish a government. They quickly establish an interim council to manage the country while a constitution is written as to how the new government will function.
 * I'm back, but still pretty out of the loop when it comes to European relations, so any help would be much appreciated. Stephanus Rex II (talk) 20:45, July 18, 2015 (UTC)
 * I feel like it's a republic, but to be honest I don't really know. -MP
 * Roman Empire: The Roman Empire continues to recover from the shock of the Great War, in which many good Romans died. The Empire also focuses on its internal security and stability after noticing the power of the revolt in Africa and remembering painful memories of revolts in Italy and Egypt. Economic and civic policy are seen as key to improving stability and cohesiveness in the Empire. With that said, the Empire does have several foreign policy successes to note as well, mainly the unification of the Tartary and the return of order in the steppes. Trade continues to go well and the military continues to have a major part of Roman society, and new weapons like tanks, planes, and better submarines now play a significant role in the way the Empire wages war. The financial crisis affects the Empire badly, and the economy suffers and many go without work. The current administration works to help mediate the crisis even though it knows its days are numbered. The civil war in the caliphate forces the Empire and its ally Assyria to be on guard. Research in new areas of science continues. However, there are no current plans to get involved other than to increase security at the border. Supplies are sent to Holy League member Lombardy to help them resist the French invasion.
 * Reme: Reme begins to build up its military and economy. Reme elects a new president and starts to build up its navy. Meanwhile, trade is improved on, with industrialization, mainly former Byzantine areas slowly being introduced to populous areas. Lumber, cash crops, and other goods become a major export of Reme, and starts getting Reme a jump-start into the European economy. There is also the creation of New navy ships, to help modernize the Reman navy. Coal mines are built, and starts churning out coal at a consistent rate. Coal mining plants are also started to be upgraded. Reme also starts very slowly changing its focus to industrial things, with a nationwide railroad being considered to be built. Industrialization of river areas continue, as well as the production of textiles to cheaper the price of Reman cotton. Meanwhile, a Socialist-based party starts to gain seats in parliament, with plans to make Reme a more self-sufficient state. People are getting anxious over the threat of Communism to Reme, and vote on the crackdown of Communist sympathizers and their families. The Reman government is pleased that Pearl River has voted to join the Empire, and promises that their rights and property will be maintained. The Reman military is improved a bit in an effort to hold up its part of the Fraternal Alliance. The economy suffers a great deal, and as a result the Socialists and outlawed Communists get a bit too eager in their expression that they have the correct answer, resulting in many demonstrations and some riots.
 * Protectorate of Wolof: Wolof begins to build up its military and economy. Reman food and supplies come in to help the formerly starving nation, as well as the Reman military to help sustain order. Some representation is given in the Reman Parliament, to give Wolof a minimal say in how Reme should be run. Meanwhile, plans to industrialize the coastal areas as well as plans for fortifications are presented, and are started being worked on.
 * Spain  continues to prosper as a center of the arts and learning despite economic hardship. The construction of new buildings, roads and other infrastructure continues. but government funded projects end as the government begins using money in other places in an effort to save the falling economy. Spanish businesses expand across Spanish territories and into other nations. The buildings rise higher and the trains run faster, especially in the major cities such as Zaragoza, Barcelona and Madrid. Cars and planes and all sorts of cool modern stuff. Spain continues to lay claim to Antarctica. The construction of ships and weaponry continues. Boats and guns and cars. Spain increases the number of battle ready ships in the Royal Armada, although at a much slower rate. More automatic weaponry stuff. The Spanish colony of West Africa expands 8000 sq km north in the west and east, totaling 16,000 sq km. Croats in Dahomey retain their rights. Dahomey expands 8000 sq km into the interior of Africa. The Spanish colony in southwest Africa expands 8000 sq km inland as well. Spain continues to develop better tanks. Planes improve. Fortunata Cardona continues enacting measures that begin to restore the strength of the Spanish economy. Spain continues to restore the Vega Line because of French militarization. #NoMoreWikiaChanges


 * ​ Algeria  continues to feel the effects of the recession. Boats, guns, planes, cars. The Castillion government begins replicating the actions of the Cardona government in Spain, since the previous government did not do much to save the economy.
 * Singapore  also continues to develop naval technology to protect its economic interests with the aid of Spain. Singapore recovers from the economic crisis mainly due to extreme measures taken by the General Secretary.

1933

 * Indian Empire: Queen Farah Shah was proclaimed the Empress of India in 1888, starting a new era. The Indian population rose to about 441,772,000, and the flocking of the people to coastal cities continued, with a mass increase of population in Kolkata, Mahmudpur, Karachi, Mumbai, Surat and various other minor cities and townships throughout the state. The Indian army, equipped with semi-modern armaments stood at 720,000 troops with an additional 250,000 reserves whilst the Imperial Guard was composed of 20,000 troops and the armament industry thrived on local and national level, with armaments rarely imported from foreign nations. The Indian navy experimented on ironclads and had started production of larger classes of steam engine ships, churning out first rate ironclads for various fleets, and more third rates, and fourth rates with the occasional second rate to augment the smaller patrol fleets with 40% of the national navy harboured at the Andaman and Kolkata ports. In agriculture was the largest economic focus of India, exporting various crops to foreign nations with the international jute and cotton textile production largely under Indian control. Along the same time, the Indian Renaissance were in full swing, with movements such as the Young India movement having aided in national modernisation and a massive rise in literacy and education, with major developments in Chemistry, Physics, Biology, etc. Moreover, promotion of industrialisation and capitalism allowed the Imperial authorities to construct a Trans-National Railway, connecting the entire Empire as well as introduction of many other commodities such as telephones, bulbs, electricity. The Kolkata Olympics, hosted in the Indian capital city of Kolkata came to an end. The Olympics resulted in India gaining a lot of pride and glory, and becoming the first Asian state to host the Olympics. In other news, India continues developing tanks, aircraft. Indian scientists make major discoveries into radio waves, and invent the Shahi Antenna, based on the OTL Yagi-Uda Antenna  . A prototype of the radio is being built. 
 * Khedivate of Bahamani: The Capital of Bahamani was Hyderabad and the population was 70.2 million. The Bahamani military was modernised, standing at roughly 80,000, with 15% of the national navy harboured at Bahamani ports. The Bahamani port cities of Mahmudpur played a major role in international trade due to its strategic position, competing against Caliphates ports. In the economic sector, rice played the role as a major food crop to be exported. However, other important crops such as cotton, sugar cane, mango and tobacco maintained a major presence in Bahamanis exports as well. About the same time, the Bahamani textile and fishery industries reached new heights.
 * Khedivate of Udaipur: The Capital of Udaipur was Ahmadabad and the population was 50.8 million. The Udaipuri military was modernised, standing at roughly 160,000, with 20% of the national navy harboured at Bahamani ports. The Udaipuri port cities of Karachi and Surat played a major role in international trade due to their strategic position, competing against Caliphates ports. In the economic sector, wheat played the role as a major food crop to be exported. However, other important crops such as rice, cotton, cotton and ruits maintained a major presence in Udaipurs exports as well. About the same time, the Udaipur fishery, sugar and leather industries were of significant importance as well.
 * Khedivate of Vijaynagar: The Capital of Vijaynagar was Coimbatore and the population was 30.4 million. The Vijaynagari military was modernised, standing at roughly 120,000 with 15% of the national navy harboured at Vijaynagari ports. The Vijaynagari port city of Chennai played a major role in international trade due to its strategic position, competing against Lankan ports. In the economic sector, rice played the role as a major food crop to be exported. However, other important crops such as tea, sugar cane, mango and tobacco maintained a major presence in Vijaynagars exports as well. About the same time, the Vijaynagari fishery and leather industries were of significant importance as well.
 * Khedivate of Aceh Darrusalam: The Capital of Aceh was Banda and the population was 13.5 million. The Aceh military was modernised, standing at roughly 30,000 with 10% of the national navy harboured at Aceh ports. In the economic sector, rice played the role as a major food crop to be exported. However, other important crops such as tea, sugar cane, mango and tobacco maintained a major presence in Aceh's exports as well. About the same time, the Aceh fishery, oil and mining industries were of significant importance as well. Major oil and gas reserves are discovered by Spanish and Indian experts in Aceh, who collaborate on the project as per the Treaty of Hague. With the arrival of the Juan Standardo Oilo Company, extraction of the oil begins. Indian geological experts continue to seek out oil deposits, as it is assumed that Aceh has potential for being rich in oil.
 * Indian Overseas Territories: Naval bases continue to be built to enforce claims on several islands such as Mauritius, Seychelles, Tromelin and Reunion. The Indian Navy attempted to enforce complete control over the Indian Ocean, aggressively patrolling the sea to combat Somalian pirates.
 * The reason why I definitely hosted the Olympics was because I voted on time. Scraw voted too late. Last time, I voted even before the Olympics were hosted but MP said I was too late. In this case, Scraw voted on Turn 1932, the turn the Olympics were supposed to be held. So he was definitely late in voting. 
 * Korea: Korea continues to build up its military. Meanwhile, more Taoist and Buddhist temples are built. Taoism rises in popularity and gains more followers. Regular (read: not Imperial) Shinto gains a few more followers as well, mainly along the coastline in Southeastern Korea, particularly in Busan, Jejudo, Ulsan, and the coastal cities and coastal towns of Southern Gyeongsang Province. Mahayana Tao-Shintoism also continues to grow, and begins gaining followers from the areas where Shinto is growing, with some Shintoists switching to Mahayana Tao-Shintoism.

Meanwhile, industrialisation and modernisation continues in Korea (similar to OTL Japan's Meiji Restoration). Monarch Hyomyeong continues investing in technology and science. The Hyundai Motor Company continues to build more cars.
 * Commonwealth Duchy of Oldenburg: The technological improvements to the military continue, especially to the Naval and Army Air Arms, where new planes and airship designs are incorporated. The Admiralty's technological division begin planning for their most ambitious project ever: a flying aircraft carrier. The concept designs envisage an immense rigid airship capable of holding and deploying up to five fighter aeroplanes. The design process is set to be completed by the end of the year, and if all goes to schedule, the first flying aircraft carrier could be in active service by 1936. In other news, Czechia's government is approached by Oldenburger diplomats, offering support and friendship for the newly re-emerged nation after the recent tragic loss of the Voivode.
 * Commonwealth Lordship of Neu Norderney: Opinion slowly turns in favour of the Borealian offer to accede to the Treaty of Chan Chan. Borealia is informed as much, and the government points out again that Neu Norderney, as a member-state of the UCG, could not accede without the rest of Germany- not that that need be a problem. The hydroelectricity from the Great Damn allows Jacqueline to introduce a tram network in an attempt to free up congestion. Economy improves.
 * Bavaria upholds Neu Norderney and Oldenburg's decision concerning Chan Chan admittance. Since NN is apart of Germany, any admittance to Chan Chan of any German commonwealth will thus admit all of Germany by default.
 * The Commonwealth Kingdoms inform the Lord of Neu Norderney that whatever they decide, the federal government will fully support Neu Norderney.
 * Commonwealth States (Bavaria): We try to improve our economy by gradually deregulating the corn, wheat, and coal industries (which had previously been heavily regulated during the 1870s), while increasing regulation over the financial world. These regulations include various laws and policies toward investments, loans and mortgages, and manufacturing. Even though we are slowly deregulating agriculture and coal, the government will be creating departments to oversee these economic centers. The Department of Agricultural Management and the Department of Coal and Fuel are established. In other news, Senator Claiton Dietricher, a Democratic-Federalist from Potsdam, launches his 1934 gubernatorial campaign for the Commonwealth States. In diplomatic news, French expatriates and citizens have been granted extended visas and passports as a sign of friendliness toward the French government.

 * Voivodeship of Czechia: The council finishes its writing of a new constitution, and begins its ratification and implementation. Within six months every regional government has ratified the document which calls for the creation of a permanent parliament, The Chamber of Deputies, with control over the budget, economic policy, military policy and creating legislation. Additionally there is a Great Judiciary to mediate on regional and national level issues. Finally, an executive elected directly by the people, the Voivode. The executive serves as the leader of the nation, but he must respect the final piece of the government, the high council, which is comprised of the Prime Minister of the Chamber of Deputies, the Head Justice of the Great Judiciary, the Vice Minister of the Chamber of Deputies, and the Voivode himself. The new government quickly holds elections, and the people elect Oto Kovar a social democrat to office. His party, the newly formed Social Democrat Party establish themselves as a progressive, but non-Communist group that promotes equality through government assistance, not government control. The party also wins a majority in the Chamber of Deputies, if only 78 of the 150 seats. The TKPČ manages to gain 35 seats and the Social Anarchists another 30 with two seats going to minor parties aligned with the TKPČ. Quickly the Chamber of Deputies establish the taxes and begin to bring in revenue. The nation stabilizes over the last few months of the year with hopes that the next year might prove to be very prosperous.

 * Brazil: Settlement of Brazil’s new African territories is encouraged, especially in Porto Natal, Porto Centauro (Richard’s Bay), named for military leader Manuel Marques de Sousa, Barreto (Pietermaritzburg), named for José Luís Mena Barreto, Vila João (Johannesburg), named for King João of Guiana, and Vinicia (Pretoria). With the threat of the Zulu eliminated diamond and gold industries can be fully exploited, and a mass immigration occurs to the region from other portions of South Africa, Hesperia and Europe. The Embraer C-9 continues heavy production and use across the nation. Development of a light armoured reconnaissance vehicle begins to be employed in South Africa primarily. A partnership between the company Ed Ferreirinha & Irmão, an automotive business founded by race car driver Eduardo Ferreirinha, and foreign car manufacturers leads to the creation of Brazil’s first domestic car company. The ensuing brand becomes known as Ferreirinha, and begins mass producing domestic vehicles for the Brazilian population. One of the company’s rivals, União Metalo-Mecânica, catches the attention of the government by creating the Metralhadora Carro, or União MC-I, the first armoured reconnaissance vehicle for the Brazilian military. The first Brazilian tank, the Armadura-I, is also created. The tank is equipped with seven to thirteen millimeter armor, two 7.92 millimeter machine guns, and powered by a four cylinder air-cooled gasoline engine to reach a speed of about fifty kilometers per hour on road. The independent colony of Bechuanaland is created as a collection of colonies and settlements in OTL Botswana, and becomes the third official state in the Transvaal Union. Each colony is expected to have the ability to raise an independent army, which is under the direct control of a central authority in Vinicia, Solumbuso. Following the conquest of Zimbabwe, a colonial government is established as part of the Transvaal Union. Railroads are lined across South Africa, and basic industry is created. Taking note of work completed in Emeraldie and Germany, the first Brazilian aircraft carrier, the Nova Lusitânia, begins construction in São Sebastião. Ports and shipyards are expanded or constructed in Africa, especially in O Golfo de Santa Maria da Conceição (Walvis Bay), centered in the city of Cetácegolfo. Shipyards in Porto Natal and Porto Centauro are also expanded. Brazilian settlers continue settling north.
 * Ruthenia: The Ruthenians continue to transform Minsk into an airship hub.

1934

 * Commonwealth Kingdoms: New Mecklenburg, Kameroon and German West Africa expand by 750 px. Serious investigation into the aspects and advantages of nuclear energy begins after several papers are published in various scientific magazines. The economy also recovers somewhat as GDP grows slowly but steadily. In military matters, aluminum plated monoplanes begin making up a larger percentage of the Air Force.


 * Korea: Korea continues to build up its military. Meanwhile, more Taoist and Buddhist temples are built. Taoism rises in popularity and gains more followers.

Films in color are becoming more popular. Electrical power continues to spread, although one scientist claims to have created better light by conducting gas. A theory of quanta is developed to explain phenomenon as smaller levels, and more theories follow to develop machines at this level. Scientist Wilhelm Dunkhullta constructs a prototype nuclear reactor, which generated energy for over three minutes before almost going critical. The estimated power of this reactor could theoretically provide energy for an entire city. Tanks continue being developed. X-rays are being used to interpret internal injuries. Airplanes begin being built on the Remen design in Pannenstiel. We continue to uphold the New Munich Declaration along with Algonquia, Reme, Mexaca, and Arcadia. An organization for promoting peace in the Pacific is established, whose members currently include Korea, China and Ayutthaya. As more industrial goods continue to pour in from Reme, Borealian entrepreneurs begin selling more oil, gold, lumber, and livestock to the East Coast. Industrial goods are sent to Brazil and China to improve their respective economies. The Gothic movement reunites in favor of this compromise, although certain extremist remain suspicious of Germany going back on their word again. Most feel like this is a step toward ending Borealian imperialism. The Curia holds Germany to its agreement in the Treaty of Dandiri
 * Neu Norderney Diplomacy: The Lord informs the Borealian government of Neu Norderney's decision to take up Borealia's offer and sign the Chan Chan Treaty. He also reminds the, that, as Neu Norderney is a member commonwealth of the United German Commonwealths, the latter will be required to sign the treaty. This however, should not be a problem.
 * The State of Australia: The state greatly increases this year by beginning joint control over the colony of New Mecklenburg, provided by Germany on the provision of ceding the whole colony by 1938. The capital of the state is centered at Dandiri (OTL Brisbane), which administer over all land settlements and the Luwrit Sea (OTL Tasman Sea). Schools and media centers are established that teach Borealianist philosophy along with essential education. Supplies and engineers are continually sent to the Timor Sultanate to improve their industry. Settlements begin to grow around the Lake Eyre region. Australia accepts Germany's apology, but focuses more on organizing their own independence.
 * The Commonwealth of Oceana: Naval bases continue being built to enforce claims on several islands (from OTL Palau to Fiji). A major naval base is constructed on the Island of Midway in the Republic of Hawaii. Another major naval base is constructed in Fiji to complement the base on Midway. Exploration of West Antarctica continues. The nation considers expanding the Treaty of Midway over the waters within the Luwrit Sea. Military from Borealia is convoyed to these islands.
 * Colony of Kinshasa: With the incorporated French colony, continues to expand its lumber and mining companies with cheap labor picked up from surrounding natives. An organized government forms along with some small villages. The border expands inward 750 px.
 * Colony of North Antarctica: A small base is established on Antarctica's northernmost peninsula, inhabited only six months of the year. A lighthouse begins construction to aid shipping that travels south of Cape Horn.
 * Spain  continues to prosper as a center of the arts and learning despite economic hardship. The construction of new buildings, roads and other infrastructure continues. but government funded projects end as the government begins using money in other places in an effort to save the falling economy. Spanish businesses expand across Spanish territories and into other nations. The buildings rise higher and the trains run faster, especially in the major cities such as Zaragoza, Barcelona and Madrid. Cars and planes and all sorts of cool modern stuff. Spain continues to lay claim to Antarctica. The construction of ships and weaponry continues. Boats and guns and cars. Spain increases the number of battle ready ships in the Royal Armada, although at a much slower rate. More automatic weaponry stuff. The Spanish colony of West Africa expands 8000 sq km north in the west and east, totaling 16,000 sq km. Croats in Dahomey retain their rights. Dahomey expands 8000 sq km into the interior of Africa. The Spanish colony in southwest Africa expands 8000 sq km inland as well. Spain continues to develop better tanks. Planes improve. Spain continues to restore the Vega Line because of French militarization. Science and stuff. Woohoo technology! Fortunata Cardona resigns as Prime Minister and is succeeded by Haroldo Ybarra. #NoMoreWikiaChanges


 * Algeria  continues to feel the effects of the recession. Boats, guns, planes, cars. The Castillion government begins replicating the actions of the government in Spain, since the previous government did not do much to save the economy.
 * Singapore  also continues to develop naval technology to protect its economic interests with the aid of Spain. Singapore recovers from the economic crisis mainly due to extreme measures taken by the General Secretary.

Commonwealth Lordship of Neu Norderney: With the other German States coming out in their support for Neu Nordenery joining the Chan Chan treaty, the nation becomes fairly firmly supportive of the plan, and a special envoy is sent to Borealia to inform the, of that fact. The military is expanded. Republic of China: The last Tibetan independence groups are wiped out and assimilation of the Tibetan population begins. The Chinese Nationalist Party, which was elected two years ago, begins plans for an invasion of Japan. We claim that all Japanese gains from the Sino-Japanese War were illegal and begin deploying troops to these regions. Meanwhile, we await a response from other nations in Asia from this. We outlaw all far-left parties, though there weren't any of these anyway.
 * Lombardy: Our military is continuing to increase due to technology becoming better. Factories still make weapons and vehicles for our military but they are not the mostly made items. With the increase of factories in the nation, more jobs are being created. The employment rate has continued to increase in the nation. Agriculture is the best industry in the nation. The railway industry is continuing to work on improving the tracks. Doctors are now continuing to use X-rays to see the inside of people. Cars are now becoming popular with the middle class people, and not just the rich society. Trade goes well with the Roman Empire. The navy continues to make ships for trade and for future tensions. We continue to build many buildings like hospitals, colleges and banks. This is the 12th straight year we slowly annex Sardinia into our nation. The military continues to send troops into France.
 * Ruthenia: The Ruthenians continue to transform Minsk into an airship hub.
 * Commonwealth Duchy of Oldenburg: Comstruction begins on the two flying aircraft carriers, with good progress being made on the frames this year. The economy improves bit by bit, and the OHG opens up a second department store, this one in Osnabruck, as well as increasing its transport fleet. Cezchia is again offered friendship and assistance.
 * The Union of Borealia is pleased to hear this result.
 * Japanese Dip: We denounce the unconditional attack by the violet Chinese, and reject their illegal claim to our territories.


 * The Glorious Empire of Japan: The skies grow briefly dark above the great city of Tokyo as the Emperor falls ill and passes on. He is succeeded by the young and ambitious Emperor Hidehito who swiftly establishes an agenda for the next years. He plans to re-invigorate industry and reaffirm the military capacity of Japan while pushing through governmental reforms and stamping out corruption. To achieve these goals he passes the Industrial Improvement act of 1934 which provides tax breaks to Japanese companies. The Emperor also sends emissaries across the world to discover ways of manufacturing and bring them back to Japan. To reaffirm the military Hidehito orders a huge military drill without any forewarning. It is apparent that the military is not prepared for such an event, and needs improvement. A bid is placed for the development of an armored force. Due to Japan’s rough terrain and the limited transportation abilities of ships a small tank is required. After initial tests with basic designs it is decided that a tank-destroyer with a wide fire arc and a very low profile would best fit Japanese needs. The Type 1 Fukushū no sutoraiku Tank Destroyer. The Emperor follows in his predecessors steps in condemning the open and blatant hostility that the Chinese have displayed in their brutal attack up on Tibet, in which many thousands were killed and many thousands certainly raped by the millions of Chinese soldiers. In a speech to the people of Kyoto the Emperor says “We, Japan must stand ready to face the hordes of China, a land which has proven itself to be incapable of civilized discourse between nations.” Suddenly a report comes from the ports of Yantai and Qingdao and from Shanghai and Heinan. A Chinese force has illegally entered Japanese lands and is threatening civilians after destroying a Japanese garrison. The Emperor swiftly calls the fortuitously mobilized military to arms, and equipped with the first 12 of the new Type 1 Tank Destroyers they begin to beat back the savage Chinese.
 * Japanese Dip: We offer Tibetan rebels weapons and explosives if they will begin an insurgency against the Chinese in Occupied Tibet. [Mod Response, Please]
 * Borealia Dip: We request that the ports and waters of Papua be open for trade as others in the Treaty of Midway.
 * Algonquia continues to develop technologically, with special focus on the military. Submarine technology is advanced, with radio-guided torpedoes becoming widely used. The Algonquian military focuses on infantry and artillery, with the Council of Sachems deciding the necessary expenditure for tanks is simply not worth the result. Anti-tank mines are also developed, and manufactured widely. Work begins on developing a submachine gun. Meanwhile, airplane and airship service to the Zollern Insels increases development in the region, with its garrison expanded. Algonquia is pleased to hear that Neu Norderney is joining the Chan Chan treaty, seeing it as a sign of good relations to come. Expansion north continues, and Sahtudene is annexed this year.
 * Roman Empire: The Roman Empire continues to recover from the shock of the Great War, in which many good Romans died. The Empire also focuses on its internal security and stability after noticing the power of the revolt in Africa and remembering painful memories of revolts in Italy and Egypt. Economic and civic policy are seen as key to improving stability and cohesiveness in the Empire. With that said, the Empire does have several foreign policy successes to note as well, mainly the unification of the Tartary and the return of order in the steppes. Trade continues to go well and the military continues to have a major part of Roman society, and new weapons like tanks, planes, and better submarines now play a significant role in the way the Empire wages war. The financial crisis affects the Empire badly, and the economy suffers and many go without work. The current administration works to help mediate the crisis even though it knows its days are numbered. The civil war in the caliphate forces the Empire and its ally Assyria to be on guard. Research in new areas of science continues. However, there are no current plans to get involved other than to increase security at the border. Supplies are sent to Holy League member Lombardy to help them resist the French invasion.
 * Reme: Reme begins to build up its military and economy. Reme elects a new president and starts to build up its navy. Meanwhile, trade is improved on, with industrialization, mainly former Byzantine areas slowly being introduced to populous areas. Lumber, cash crops, and other goods become a major export of Reme, and starts getting Reme a jump-start into the European economy. There is also the creation of New navy ships, to help modernize the Reman navy. Coal mines are built, and starts churning out coal at a consistent rate. Coal mining plants are also started to be upgraded. Reme also starts very slowly changing its focus to industrial things, with a nationwide railroad being considered to be built. Industrialization of river areas continue, as well as the production of textiles to cheaper the price of Reman cotton. Meanwhile, a Socialist-based party starts to gain seats in parliament, with plans to make Reme a more self-sufficient state. People are getting anxious over the threat of Communism to Reme, and vote on the crackdown of Communist sympathizers and their families. The Reman government is pleased that Pearl River has voted to join the Empire, and promises that their rights and property will be maintained. The Reman military is improved a bit in an effort to hold up its part of the Fraternal Alliance. The economy suffers a great deal, and as a result the Socialists and outlawed Communists get a bit too eager in their expression that they have the correct answer, resulting in many demonstrations and some riots.
 * Protectorate of Wolof: Wolof begins to build up its military and economy. Reman food and supplies come in to help the formerly starving nation, as well as the Reman military to help sustain order. Some representation is given in the Reman Parliament, to give Wolof a minimal say in how Reme should be run. Meanwhile, plans to industrialize the coastal areas as well as plans for fortifications are presented, and are started being worked on.
 * Ban Republic of Croatia (Banska Republika Hrvatska): Sewerage systems similar to Ragusan ones are built in major towns of theBan Republic. With growing Ragusan influence, and the beginning of further colonization, the navy expands rapidly using much of the Ragusan expertise. Moreover, with the influx of new resources in form of lumber, labour and metals, the navy begins expanding at a fast rate. More and more ships capable of crossing the Atlantic with ease are built. The Sabor intends to restore the glorious naval culture of the Neretva peoples and plans to do so by expanding the navy. The kravata (tie) is more and more used as an accessory. Trade routes are strengthened and the salt mines around Tuzla are explored as well as the salt industry in Pag and Nin. Using irrigation from the Danube, Sava, Drava, Drina, Cetina, Una, Vrbaš, Kupa, Neretva and other rivers the fields in the kingdom are developed, used for crops such as wheat, rye and barley. With trade routes increasing and Croatia entering an era of peace and of stability, the development of new trade ships is issued. Stone mining is furthered as well as the timber industry. The need for these resources rises as urbanization carries on. Iron ores in Dugopolje, Zenice and at last the 'mud' ore in Vojvodina and Eastern Slavonia are to be exploited alongside the silver and copper ores more frequently and of better quality than the iron ores. The exploitation of iron ores in the Lika and Gorski kotar areas continues. The salt industry in Ston is funded by the government. The influx of resources from Dahomey aids the economy. However, the government makes sure that the gold arriving isn't immediately put on the market in order to control the inflation in the worth of gold. The silver mine in Srebrenica is mined. Kotor Saraka (Adelaide) continues to expand. Draganić continues his research. 
 * Isles of the Archvoivodeship (Otoci Nadvojvodstva): The infrastructure is built up.
 * Ban Republic of Carantania (Banska Republika Karantanija): Being Alpine Slavic nation, the leaders begin a programme to create a standardized Carantanian language that will reflect on both the Slavic and Alpine (Germanic) aspects of Carantania.
 * Sukadang Županija: Croatization. Expansion onto the other parts of Borneo.
 * Croatian Africa: Continues to expand.
 * White Croatia: Large-scale Croatization, numerous harsh measures are introduced to ensure White Croatia is Croatian.

1935
''' French forces are able to retake the island of Sardinia after being aided by the French inhabitants, but are largely unable to penetrate the Lombard homeland. '''

Mongolia: After years of stagnation a peasant who is named Batbayar who is a direct descendant of Genghis Khan leads a massive popular revolt in Mongolia and immediately revamps industrialization and the military, putting many to work and revamping the economy. In order to restore the former glory of Mongolia, we declare war on the Republic of China in order to assert political hegemony over China.
 * India invades Venad.
 * Lombardy: Our military is continuing to increase due to technology becoming better. Factories still make weapons and vehicles for our military but they are not the mostly made items. With the increase of factories in the nation, more jobs are being created. The employment rate has continued to increase in the nation. Agriculture is the best industry in the nation.

Cars are now becoming popular with the middle class people, and not just the rich society. Trade goes well with the Roman Empire. The navy continues to make ships for trade and for future tensions. We continue to build many buildings like hospitals, colleges and banks. We blockade the island with our battleships. We then send ground troops to retake the island. (could a mod please do an algo for this, thanks)
 * Korea: Korea continues to build up its military. Meanwhile, more Taoist and Buddhist temples are built. Taoism rises in popularity and gains more followers. Regular (read: not Imperial) Shinto gains a few more followers as well, mainly along the coastline in Southeastern Korea, particularly in Busan, Jejudo, Ulsan, and the coastal cities and coastal towns of Southern Gyeongsang Province. Mahayana Tao-Shintoism also continues to grow, and begins gaining followers from the areas where Shinto is growing, with some Shintoists switching to Mahayana Tao-Shintoism. The military in the colony of Haejagang (해자강) continues to be on high alert and continues to heavily patrol the Korean settlements. Meanwhile, industrialisation and modernisation continues in Korea (similar to OTL Japan's Meiji Restoration). Monarch Hyomyeong continues investing in technology and science. The Hyundai Motor Company continues to build more cars.
 * Borealia_Flag_2.png Union of Borealia: Both the economy and military improve across all the provinces of the Union. The thriving industries now run entirely on petroleum, procured from the oil collected from Alaska and California. While the traditional hearts of each city, particularly New Vienna, continue to reflect the same idyllic Baroque style, newer expansions to these urban centers are packed with factories and other industrial equipment. Cities recently built in southern California and northern Alaska are much more developed, as some parts of the Kiatagmiut province are almost unrecognizable. The economy of the Union stems from the exportation of natural resources. San Francisco and Mamterlliq continue to be the main centers of the gold trade, while oil wells begin to speckle the coastal range of California. More oil wells are built in Upper Alaska, bringing entrepreneurs to that region. Large monopolies on lumber and animal products are also prevalent in Santiago and Pannenstiel. All of these businesses are connected with diesel trains that span the continent. As the various earlier philosophies continue to grow and factionalize, these turn into competing ideas that promote further progression and ingenuity from the younger generation. Films in color are becoming more popular. Electrical power continues to spread, although one scientist claims to have created better light by conducting gas. A theory of quanta is developed to explain phenomenon as smaller levels, and more theories follow to develop machines at this level. Scientist Wilhelm Dunkhullta constructs a prototype nuclear reactor, which generated energy for over three minutes before almost going critical. The estimated power of this reactor could theoretically provide energy for an entire city. Tanks continue being developed. X-rays are being used to interpret internal injuries. Airplanes begin being built on the Remen design in Pannenstiel. We continue to uphold the New Munich Declaration along with Algonquia, Reme, Mexaca, and Arcadia. An organization for promoting peace in the Pacific is established, whose members currently include Korea, China and Ayutthaya. As more industrial goods continue to pour in from Reme, Borealian entrepreneurs begin selling more oil, gold, lumber, and livestock to the East Coast. Industrial goods are sent to Brazil and China to improve their respective economies. The Gothic movement reunites in favor of this compromise, although certain extremist remain suspicious of Germany going back on their word again. Most feel like this is a step toward ending Borealian imperialism. The Curia holds Germany to its agreement in the Treaty of Dandiri
 * The State of Australia: The state greatly increases this year by beginning joint control over the colony of New Mecklenburg, provided by Germany on the provision of ceding the whole colony by 1938. The capital of the state is centered at Dandiri (OTL Brisbane), which administer over all land settlements and the Luwrit Sea (OTL Tasman Sea).

Dahomey expands 8000 sq km into the interior of Africa. The Spanish colony in southwest Africa expands 8000 sq km inland as well. Spain continues to develop better tanks. Planes improve. Spain continues to restore the Vega Line because of French militarization. Science and stuff. Woohoo technology! Haroldo Ybarra continues the practices of the Cardona government. Spain commissions its first aircraft carrier this year, the HMS Guillermo Adama. #NoMoreWikiaChanges
 * Britannia offers its West African colonies in exchange for Spanish South West Africa.
 * Algeria continues to feel the effects of the depression. Boats, guns, planes, cars. The Castillion government begins replicating the actions of the government in Spain, since the previous government did not do much to save the economy.
 * Singapore also continues to develop naval technology to protect its economic interests with the aid of Spain. Singapore recovers from the economic crisis mainly due to extreme measures taken by the General Secretary.
 * Andea: Andea's economy finally shows signs of recovering as the new government comes in and begins to implement new systems such as Price Administration. The debate about the constitutionality of this is limited, as the focus remains on economic growth. The new policies focus on "Trickle Up" or Demand Side economics. The military is set at 500,000 active men and 500,000 reserve men, with new machine pistols, now more commonly called "submachine guns" being implemented into the Andean military. The navy remains large, with the first aircraft carrier, a modified dreadnought, having finished production in 1927. Further developments into this type of naval vessel continue, with more being added to the military. Population stands at 107 million. An Andean researcher picks up on the research of the Borelian scientist who discovered atomic physics.
 * Union of Sudafrica: Continues to make leaps and bounds. The nation is officially made into a commonwealth of Andea, and is making strives toward independnece. The nation requests to deepen ties with Brazil's South African Colonies.
 * Commonwealth Duchy of Oldenburg: Work continues on the two flying aircraft carriers, with the skeletons completed by the year's end. The economy continues to improve. One of the part-government-owned companies which supply aeroplanes to the army establishes a small car manufacturing subsidiary company, the Oldenburger Motoren Werke AG, or OMW for short. Is aim is to manufacture relatively cheap cars for middle-class Germans to buy. An Oldenburger representative signs the Chan Chan Treaty.
 * Commonwealth Lordship of Neu Norderney: With Neu Norderney and the other German States having signed the Treaty of Chan Chan, the government sits back and waits for the economic benefits to come rolling in. The government's popularity, which had already been boosted by the hydroelectric dam project, is further increased by the successful conclusion of the deal. Economy expands.
 * Commonwealth States (Bavaria): We continue to deregulate the corn, grain and coal industries, while passing more legislation concerning the financial world. First, we define the difference between an investment bank and a commercial bank. Furthermore, we attempt to crack down on predatory loaning, stock market speculation, bribery and other white-collar crimes. The Office of Financial Crimes is created to enforce and validate these laws. As a whole, Marian Liberals find these new actions very promising, while Conservatives are much more lukewarm to them. In other news, Claiton Dietricher wins the 1934 governor-general elections, and he nominates Jakome Pinscher to be his Vice Governor.
 * Republic of China: After being repulsed from our own territory by the Japanese invaders, we request a ceasefire with Japanese forces. Failing to take our lands back by force, we offer military adi in all wars involving Japan until 1950 for control of these territories. We begin looking for allies, fearing the Indian-Japanese-Caliphate hegemony in Asia. With few nations possibly being an ally to us, we look for an alliance with the Bengal Sultanate. We follow this up with an alliance request with the Empire of Lanka. (Mod Response needed for Bengal)
 * LOL. An alliance with the Bengal Sultanate.
 * The Bengal Sultanate doesn't exist anymore. I recomend you look for alliances but make sure you have something substantial to offer in return. -Nathan
 * Caliphate drastically improves infrastructure, industry and economy. As we seek to protect our possesions, we become less expansionist into foreign cultures and lands. We continue westernization efforts especially in urban, developed regions, such as Baghdad. As with every year, we maintain our two Holy cities and donate a small amount of our income to charity, especially to the poor: beggars, widows, and more of the like. We maintain our military, but the military becomes less emphasized with the signing of the pan-Asian pact, which protects the Caliphate from any foreign invasion and threats. We improve relations with the Afghans, hoping to bring them into the Pact in the near future. With the death of Caliph Hakeem bin Malik many of our young citizens call him the "Magnificent", specifically for his republican reforms, implementing the Shura. With the westernization and increasing democratic power, we begin, on a small scale, implementing railroads, especially connecting urban cities and regions. We also begin construction on large-scale of an Ironclad fleet, in order to combat the Roman fleet. With the full implementation and the construction of roads, postal service, railroads, transportation and news travels faster than ever, allowing the unity of the Caliphate. We begin to encourage urban cities sto start developing their own newspapers, as along with the arrival of radios into the Caliphate, due to the Westernization Effort. We continue to support the idea of the Caliphate as a pan-Islamic state, not Pan-Arabic. The Government completely reforms, seeking Hakeem's dream of a truly democratic Caliphate. A new office is created: Sultan. The Caliph becomes only the religious leader of the Caliphate, whose position is heredity, with the Sultan being elected from the Shura. The Caliphate begins to become federalized, with every province of the Caliphate holding a small amount of power. We continue to attempt to convert Shia Muslims, even bribing local religious leaders to begin to teach Sunni beliefs. With the war against the Romans ending with status quo ante bellum and restoration of all previous treaties, the Caliphate becomes desperate to look for new wealth. With oil found in Persia, and predictions of an even greater oil field by Borealian geologists, the Caliphate offers to grant Borealian companies 20% of all profits from oil sales for 15 years, starting from the year the Caliphate first starts exporting oil. The Caliphate continues to head to democracy with the foundation set by Caliph Hakeem. The Caliphate continues promoting Arab, Persian, Swahili and Turkic culture. We take hostile actions against China, including global sanctions, specifically oil.
 * Ruthenia: The Ruthenians continue to transform Minsk into an airship hub.
 * Roman Empire: The Roman Empire continues to recover from the shock of the Great War, in which many good Romans died. The Empire also focuses on its internal security and stability after noticing the power of the revolt in Africa and remembering painful memories of revolts in Italy and Egypt.

The economy suffers a great deal, and as a result the Socialists and outlawed Communists get a bit too eager in their expression that they have the correct answer, resulting in many demonstrations and some riots.
 * Protectorate of Wolof: Wolof begins to build up its military and economy. Reman food and supplies come in to help the formerly starving nation, as well as the Reman military to help sustain order. Some representation is given in the Reman Parliament, to give Wolof a minimal say in how Reme should be run. Meanwhile, plans to industrialize the coastal areas as well as plans for fortifications are presented, and are started being worked on.
 * Ban Republic of Croatia (Banska Republika Hrvatska): Sewerage systems similar to Ragusan ones are built in major towns of theBan Republic. With growing Ragusan influence, and the beginning of further colonization, the navy expands rapidly using much of the Ragusan expertise. Moreover, with the influx of new resources in form of lumber, labour and metals, the navy begins expanding at a fast rate. More and more ships capable of crossing the Atlantic with ease are built.

1936

 * Commonwealth Kingdoms: New Mecklenburg is continued to be prepared for independence. Elections are scheduled for New Mecklenburgs first prime minister next year, though the current governor-general, Michael von Windigenburg, is widely liked and is expected to win. In other news, in light of recent scientific advances, the Kingdoms and New Mecklenburg agree to scientific cooperation to research these advances, and allotting for scientific facilities to be constructed in both the Kingdoms and New Mecklenburg. Finally, a loan is given to the New Mecklenburg government so that the newly independent state will have operating cash on hand.


 * Indian Empire: Queen Farah Shah was proclaimed the Empress of India in 1888, starting a new era. The Indian population rose to about 741,772,000, and the flocking of the people to coastal cities continued, with a mass increase of population in Kolkata, Mahmudpur, Karachi, Mumbai, Surat and various other minor cities and townships throughout the state. The Indian army, equipped with modern armaments stood at 720,000 troops with an additional 250,000 reserves whilst the Imperial Guard was composed of 20,000 troops and the armament industry thrived on local and national level, with armaments rarely imported from foreign nations. The Indian navy experimented on ironclads and had started production of larger classes of steam engine ships, churning out first rate ironclads for various fleets, and more third rates, and fourth rates with the occasional second rate to augment the smaller patrol fleets with 40% of the national navy harboured at the Andaman and Kolkata ports. In agriculture was the largest economic focus of India, exporting various crops to foreign nations with the international jute and cotton textile production largely under Indian control. Along the same time, the Indian Renaissance were in full swing, with movements such as the Young India movement having aided in national modernisation and a massive rise in literacy and education, with major developments in Chemistry, Physics, Biology, etc. Moreover, promotion of industrialisation and capitalism allowed the Imperial authorities to construct a Trans-National Railway, connecting the entire Empire as well as introduction of many other commodities such as telephones, bulbs, electricity. Indian troops rapidly advanced into Venad territory.
 * Khedivate of Bahamani: The Capital of Bahamani was Hyderabad and the population was 90.2 million. The Bahamani military was modernised, standing at roughly 80,000, with 15% of the national navy harboured at Bahamani ports. The Bahamani port cities of Mahmudpur played a major role in international trade due to its strategic position, competing against Caliphates ports. In the economic sector, rice played the role as a major food crop to be exported. However, other important crops such as cotton, sugar cane, mango and tobacco maintained a major presence in Bahamanis exports as well. About the same time, the Bahamani textile and fishery industries reached new heights.
 * Khedivate of Udaipur: The Capital of Udaipur was Ahmadabad and the population was 70.8 million. The Udaipuri military was modernised, standing at roughly 160,000, with 20% of the national navy harboured at Bahamani ports. The Udaipuri port cities of Karachi and Surat played a major role in international trade due to their strategic position, competing against Caliphates ports. In the economic sector, wheat played the role as a major food crop to be exported. However, other important crops such as rice, cotton, cotton and ruits maintained a major presence in Udaipurs exports as well. About the same time, the Udaipur fishery, sugar and leather industries were of significant importance as well.
 * Khedivate of Vijaynagar: The Capital of Vijaynagar was Coimbatore and the population was 40.4 million. The Vijaynagari military was modernised, standing at roughly 120,000 with 15% of the national navy harboured at Vijaynagari ports. The Vijaynagari port city of Chennai played a major role in international trade due to its strategic position, competing against Lankan ports. In the economic sector, rice played the role as a major food crop to be exported. However, other important crops such as tea, sugar cane, mango and tobacco maintained a major presence in Vijaynagars exports as well. About the same time, the Vijaynagari fishery and leather industries were of significant importance as well.
 * Khedivate of Aceh Darrusalam: The Capital of Aceh was Banda and the population was 19.5 million. The Aceh military was modernised, standing at roughly 30,000 with 10% of the national navy harboured at Aceh ports. In the economic sector, rice played the role as a major food crop to be exported. However, other important crops such as tea, sugar cane, mango and tobacco maintained a major presence in Aceh's exports as well. About the same time, the Aceh fishery, oil and mining industries were of significant importance as well. Major oil and gas reserves are discovered by Spanish and Indian experts in Aceh, who collaborate on the project as per the Treaty of Hague. With the arrival of the Juan Standardo Oilo Company, extraction of the oil begins. Indian geological experts continue to seek out oil deposits, as it is assumed that Aceh has potential for being rich in oil.
 * Indian Overseas Territories: Naval bases continue to be built to enforce claims on several islands such as Mauritius, Seychelles, Tromelin and Reunion. The Indian Navy attempted to enforce complete control over the Indian Ocean, aggressively patrolling the sea to combat Somalian pirates.
 * Lanka to India Diplomacy: Although we know help is not needed in such a great invasion, the Emperor assists India in invading Venad. Lanka sends some troops to the coast of Venad to briefly distract the enemies, while India quickly moves in. The Lankan troops then merge with the Indian army to help the quick advance.
 * Korea: Korea continues to build up its military. Meanwhile, more Taoist and Buddhist temples are built. Taoism rises in popularity and gains more followers. Regular (read: not Imperial) Shinto gains a few more followers as well, mainly along the coastline in Southeastern Korea, particularly in Busan, Jejudo, Ulsan, and the coastal cities and coastal towns of Southern Gyeongsang Province. Mahayana Tao-Shintoism also continues to grow, and begins gaining followers from the areas where Shinto is growing, with some Shintoists switching to Mahayana Tao-Shintoism. The military in the colony of Haejagang (해자강) continues to be on high alert and continues to heavily patrol the Korean settlements. Meanwhile, industrialisation and modernisation continues in Korea (similar to OTL Japan's Meiji Restoration). Monarch Hyomyeong continues investing in technology and science. The Hyundai Motor Company continues to build more cars.
 * Borealia_Flag_2.png Union of Borealia: Both the economy and military improve across all the provinces of the Union. The thriving industries now run entirely on petroleum, procured from the oil collected from Alaska and California. While the traditional hearts of each city, particularly New Vienna, continue to reflect the same idyllic Baroque style, newer expansions to these urban centers are packed with factories and other industrial equipment. Cities recently built in southern California and northern Alaska are much more developed, as some parts of the Kiatagmiut province are almost unrecognizable. The economy of the Union stems from the exportation of natural resources. San Francisco and Mamterlliq continue to be the main centers of the gold trade, while oil wells begin to speckle the coastal range of California. More oil wells are built in Upper Alaska, bringing entrepreneurs to that region. Large monopolies on lumber and animal products are also prevalent in Santiago and Pannenstiel. All of these businesses are connected with diesel trains that span the continent. As the various earlier philosophies continue to grow and factionalize, these turn into competing ideas that promote further progression and ingenuity from the younger generation. Films in color are becoming more popular. Electrical power continues to spread, although one scientist claims to have created better light by conducting gas. A theory of quanta is developed to explain phenomenon as smaller levels, and more theories follow to develop machines at this level. Scientist Wilhelm Dunkhullta constructs a prototype nuclear reactor, which generated energy for over three minutes before almost going critical. The estimated power of this reactor could theoretically provide energy for an entire city. Tanks continue being developed. X-rays are being used to interpret internal injuries. Airplanes begin being built on the Remen design in Pannenstiel. We continue to uphold the New Munich Declaration along with Algonquia, Reme, Mexaca, and Arcadia. An organization for promoting peace in the Pacific is established, whose members currently include Korea, China and Ayutthaya. As more industrial goods continue to pour in from Reme, Borealian entrepreneurs begin selling more oil, gold, lumber, and livestock to the East Coast. Industrial goods are sent to Brazil and China to improve their respective economies. The Gothic movement reunites in favor of this compromise, although certain extremist remain suspicious of Germany going back on their word again. Most feel like this is a step toward ending Borealian imperialism. The Curia holds Germany to its agreement in the Treaty of Dandiri
 * The State of Australia: The state greatly increases this year by beginning joint control over the colony of New Mecklenburg, provided by Germany on the provision of ceding the whole colony by 1938. The capital of the state is centered at Dandiri (OTL Brisbane), which administer over all land settlements and the Luwrit Sea (OTL Tasman Sea). Schools and media centers are established that teach Borealianist philosophy along with essential education. Supplies and engineers are continually sent to the Timor Sultanate to improve their industry. Settlements begin to grow around the Lake Eyre region. Australia accepts Germany's apology, but focuses more on organizing their own independence.
 * The Commonwealth of Oceana: Naval bases continue being built to enforce claims on several islands (from OTL Palau to Fiji). A major naval base is constructed on the Island of Midway in the Republic of Hawaii. Another major naval base is constructed in Fiji to complement the base on Midway. Exploration of West Antarctica continues. The nation considers expanding the Treaty of Midway over the waters within the Luwrit Sea. Military from Borealia is convoyed to these islands.
 * Colony of Kinshasa: With the incorporated French colony, continues to expand its lumber and mining companies with cheap labor picked up from surrounding natives. An organized government forms along with some small villages. The border expands inward 750 px.
 * Colony of North Antarctica: A small base is established on Antarctica's northernmost peninsula, inhabited only six months of the year. A lighthouse begins construction to aid shipping that travels south of Cape Horn.
 * Empire of Lanka: The Emperor Sri Gunananda, dies of old age. His son, Dutugamunu Samir II inherits the throne. The government continues to focus all efforts on industrialization. Accelerated industrialization continues in Lanka due to things like the Waardige Pact, and the country's focus on it. Lankan architecture begins to develop its own identity, influenced largely by renaissance/baroque Dutch architecture and Asian, specifically Indian architecture. Although small, the imperial army continues to remain one of the most advanced in Asia, due to European supplies. Population in the cities continue to get jobs in factories and get involved in industrial work. The most recent census taken in 1930, accounts for 5,918,784 citizens. The ports on the island remain in heavy use, even competing with some Indian ports in the region like Chennai. Significant urbanization causes the cities of Waardige, Sri Jaywardenepura Kotte, Kandy, Kalmunai, and Galle, to be flooded with people. Waardige continues to be a trade, technological and industrial center in Asia. The Waardige Canal stands more as a scenic part of Waardige, and sometimes get visited by Europeans for their honeymoons. The island is nearly covered in railroads, and both transportation and transport of people and goods on the island is very fast. Religion in the empire continues to be mixed with the three main religions of Hinduism, Buddhism and Dutch Reformist being worshiped on the main island while there are a few animist natives on Nava Kotte. The Lankan navy still holds warships that were supplied during the protectoratecy. With Galle and Waardige fitted to make ironclads and other warships, the Lankan navy continues to gain power. Lankan industrial funding continues to be used to build factories across the empire, and industrialize the whole nation. With the last census, the Lankan parliament enacted the Individual Imperial Number (IIN). This makes it so every citizen needs to register with empire and is assigned its own indentification code. Also noted/registered is the religion and ethnicity of the citizen. Lanka continues to massively export cigars, tea, tobacco, rubber, diamonds, and other precious gems. Lanka continues to hold alliances with Spain, Japan, and Rome. The empire continues to purchase weapons from Japan and Rome. The Compulsory Education Act of 1919 which makes compulsory education from ages five to fifteen and makes work-only and school-only days. The Lankan Guilder continues to be minted and printed at the Lankan Imperial Bank. Dutugamunu Samir II enacts many anti-Tamil edicts that restrict Tamil rights and backs it up by saying that the Tamil population is planning a Hindu revolt similar to the one Lanka was against in India. Lanka declines the Chinese Alliance offer, as it is friends of Japan and India already. 
 * Chinese Diplomacy: We ask for an alliance, offering protection.
 * Indian Diplomacy: The Imperial authorities of India support the Anti-Tamil Edicts, and apologize for having previously interfered in Lankan affairs. Long live Indian - Lankan friendship, says the Indian Diplomat to Lanka.

Mongolia: The build up of military and industry furthers the revampization of the economy as we continue the war and we make advances, with this being the middle year of the war with China.
 * Lombardy: Our military is continuing to increase due to technology becoming better. Factories still make weapons and vehicles for our military but they are not the mostly made items. With the increase of factories in the nation, more jobs are being created. The employment rate has continued to increase in the nation. Agriculture is the best industry in the nation. The railway industry is continuing to work on improving the tracks. Doctors are now continuing to use X-rays to see the inside of people. Cars are now becoming popular with the middle class people, and not just the rich society. Trade goes well with the Roman Empire. The navy continues to make ships for trade and for future tensions. We continue to build many buildings like hospitals, colleges and banks.
 * Commonwealth Duchy of Oldenburg: The navy completes the bodies of the two flying airships, and work starts on the complete trapeze mechanism which will allow the fighter planes to enter and exit the motherships. Czechia is again offered friendship and cooperation. Economy improves.
 * Commonwealth Lordship of Neu Norderney: Taking advantage of the very dark night sky in the West of the country, the Univesity of Osnabruck sets up an observatory there. Economy improves.
 * Republic of China: With no response received and no incursion into our territory yet made, we withdraw from our territory with Japanese troops in. We remind Lanka of our alliance offer, offering protection from Japan. After the retreat from the Japanese zone, we invade Mongolia, our troops from North China immediately entering Mongolian territory. In the 1936 Chinese General Election, the Chinese Nationalist Party is reelected, although with a significantly reduced majority, obtaining 49% of the vote. In his victory speech, the Chinese Premier, An Guo, declares he will get revenge on the "barbarian" Mongolians, and also promises to attempt to regain China's land through diplomacy.
 * The Glorious Empire of Japan: Emperor Hidehito leads his victorious army onward with news of the Mongolian invasion of China. The war goes well as the Chinese armies collapse before the Japanese might. The Emperor, however, limits the war to the interior of the nation, hoping to preserve the coastal infrastructure for Japanese occupation after the war is finished. The increased spending boosts the economy as 500 new Type 1 “Fukushū no sutoraiku” Tank Destroyers are produced. An economist at the Tokyo University begins to subscribe to the notion that economies are built from the ground up and that to protect the economy it is important to protect the middle of society. This intellectual movement begins to make some headway in the minds of economists and sociologists across Japan.
 * Spain continues to prosper as a center of the arts and learning despite economic hardship. The construction of new buildings, roads and other infrastructure continues. but government funded projects end as the government begins using money in other places in an effort to save the falling economy. Spanish businesses expand across Spanish territories and into other nations. The buildings rise higher and the trains run faster, especially in the major cities such as Zaragoza, Barcelona and Madrid. Cars and planes and all sorts of cool modern stuff. Spain continues to lay claim to Antarctica. The construction of ships and weaponry continues. Spain builds submarines, boats and guns, and cars. Spain increases the number of battle ready ships in the Royal Armada, although at a much slower rate. More automatic weaponry stuff. The Spanish colony of West Africa expands 16,000 sq km west. Croats in Dahomey retain their rights. Dahomey expands 8000 sq km into the interior of Africa. British West Africa is incorporated into the Spanish colonial domains in Africa. Spain continues to develop better tanks. Planes improve. Spain continues to restore the Vega Line because of French militarization. Science and stuff. Woohoo technology! Haroldo Ybarra continues the practices of the Cardona government. Spain commissions another aircraft carrier. #NoMoreWikiaChanges
 * Algeria  continues to feel the effects of the depression. Boats, guns, planes, cars. The Castillion government continues replicating the actions of the government in Spain.
 * Singapore   also continues to develop naval technology to protect its economic interests with the aid of Spain. In Singapore, there is a constitutional crisis when the Secretary General requests that the governor dissolve the Singaporean Senate in the name of the Crown but the governor refuses. The majority government in Singapore collapses and the governor invites a minority coalition to form a new government. This new government technically cannot exist unless an election is called to confirm it, but an election cannot be called unless there is an active government that can be dismissed. The Crown invests the governor with the power to call an emergency election in Singapore but this is seen as the Spanish government overstepping its boundaries and interfering in the business of autonomous Singapore. The crisis is resolved in the third week when the former Secretary General is called back to form a new government that can be dismissed in order for an election to be held. When the elections are held, the People's National Alliance wins and Hummel Lee Jan-Meng becomes the new Secretary General. This event leads to a major review of the power of Spain in the affairs of Singapore and especially the role of the governor.
 * Spain accepts the British offer.
 * Algonquia continues to develop technologically, with special focus on the military. Submarine technology is advanced, with radio-guided torpedoes becoming widely used. The Algonquian military focuses on infantry and artillery, with the Council of Sachems deciding the necessary expenditure for tanks is simply not worth the result. Anti-tank mines are also developed, and manufactured widely. Work begins on developing a submachine gun. Meanwhile, airplane and airship service to the Zollern Insels increases development in the region, with its garrison expanded. Algonquia is pleased to hear that Neu Norderney is joining the Chan Chan treaty, seeing it as a sign of good relations to come. Expansion north continues, and Sahtudene is annexed this year. Algonquia asks to purchase New Guerney/Hispaniola from Brittannia. (Mod Response, Please)
 * Ruthenia: The Ruthenians continue to transform Minsk into an airship hub.
 * Roman Empire: The Roman Empire continues to recover from the shock of the Great War, in which many good Romans died. The Empire also focuses on its internal security and stability after noticing the power of the revolt in Africa and remembering painful memories of revolts in Italy and Egypt. Economic and civic policy are seen as key to improving stability and cohesiveness in the Empire. With that said, the Empire does have several foreign policy successes to note as well, mainly the unification of the Tartary and the return of order in the steppes. Trade continues to go well and the military continues to have a major part of Roman society, and new weapons like tanks, planes, and better submarines now play a significant role in the way the Empire wages war. The financial crisis affects the Empire badly, and the economy suffers and many go without work. The current administration works to help mediate the crisis even though it knows its days are numbered. The civil war in the caliphate forces the Empire and its ally Assyria to be on guard. Research in new areas of science continues. However, there are no current plans to get involved other than to increase security at the border. Supplies are sent to Holy League member Lombardy to help them resist the French invasion.
 * Reme: Reme begins to build up its military and economy. Reme elects a new president and starts to build up its navy. Meanwhile, trade is improved on, with industrialization, mainly former Byzantine areas slowly being introduced to populous areas. Lumber, cash crops, and other goods become a major export of Reme, and starts getting Reme a jump-start into the European economy. There is also the creation of New navy ships, to help modernize the Reman navy. Coal mines are built, and starts churning out coal at a consistent rate. Coal mining plants are also started to be upgraded. Reme also starts very slowly changing its focus to industrial things, with a nationwide railroad being considered to be built. Industrialization of river areas continue, as well as the production of textiles to cheaper the price of Reman cotton. Meanwhile, a Socialist-based party starts to gain seats in parliament, with plans to make Reme a more self-sufficient state. People are getting anxious over the threat of Communism to Reme, and vote on the crackdown of Communist sympathizers and their families. The Reman government is pleased that Pearl River has voted to join the Empire, and promises that their rights and property will be maintained. The Reman military is improved a bit in an effort to hold up its part of the Fraternal Alliance. The economy suffers a great deal, and as a result the Socialists and outlawed Communists get a bit too eager in their expression that they have the correct answer, resulting in many demonstrations and some riots.
 * Protectorate of Wolof: Wolof begins to build up its military and economy. Reman food and supplies come in to help the formerly starving nation, as well as the Reman military to help sustain order. Some representation is given in the Reman Parliament, to give Wolof a minimal say in how Reme should be run. Meanwhile, plans to industrialize the coastal areas as well as plans for fortifications are presented, and are started being worked on.
 * Ban Republic of Croatia (Banska Republika Hrvatska): Sewerage systems similar to Ragusan ones are built in major towns of theBan Republic. With growing Ragusan influence, and the beginning of further colonization, the navy expands rapidly using much of the Ragusan expertise. Moreover, with the influx of new resources in form of lumber, labour and metals, the navy begins expanding at a fast rate. More and more ships capable of crossing the Atlantic with ease are built. The Sabor intends to restore the glorious naval culture of the Neretva peoples and plans to do so by expanding the navy. The kravata (tie) is more and more used as an accessory. Trade routes are strengthened and the salt mines around Tuzla are explored as well as the salt industry in Pag and Nin. Using irrigation from the Danube, Sava, Drava, Drina, Cetina, Una, Vrbaš, Kupa, Neretva and other rivers the fields in the kingdom are developed, used for crops such as wheat, rye and barley. With trade routes increasing and Croatia entering an era of peace and of stability, the development of new trade ships is issued. Stone mining is furthered as well as the timber industry. The need for these resources rises as urbanization carries on. Iron ores in Dugopolje, Zenice and at last the 'mud' ore in Vojvodina and Eastern Slavonia are to be exploited alongside the silver and copper ores more frequently and of better quality than the iron ores. The exploitation of iron ores in the Lika and Gorski kotar areas continues. The salt industry in Ston is funded by the government. The influx of resources from Dahomey aids the economy. However, the government makes sure that the gold arriving isn't immediately put on the market in order to control the inflation in the worth of gold. The silver mine in Srebrenica is mined. Kotor Saraka (Adelaide) continues to expand. Draganić continues his research. 
 * Isles of the Archvoivodeship (Otoci Nadvojvodstva): The infrastructure is built up.
 * Ban Republic of Carantania (Banska Republika Karantanija): Being Alpine Slavic nation, the leaders begin a programme to create a standardized Carantanian language that will reflect on both the Slavic and Alpine (Germanic) aspects of Carantania.
 * Sukadang Županija: Croatization. Expansion onto the other parts of Borneo.
 * Croatian Africa: Continues to expand.
 * White Croatia: Large-scale Croatization, numerous harsh measures are introduced to ensure White Croatia is Croatian.

1937

 * Commonwealth Kingdoms: final preparation for the independence of New Mecklenburg is made. As expected, Michael von Windigenburg easily wins election to become New Mecklenburgs first prime minister. In one of the final acts prior to independence, the Diet approves the new constitution, based on Hamburg's Rezeß, one of the oldest continually used constitutions in the world. Finally, both the New Mecklenburger Diet and the United German Diet ratify the release of the "Grand Duchy of New Mecklenburg". After the ratification, Emperor Friedrich announces his intention to name his younger nephew, William, as Grand Duke and an independent monarch. Germany sets up embassies in the capital of Sudstadt to maintain relations. Meanwhile, economic recovery continues, thanks to the emergency austerity measures imposed, and some begin proposing rollbacks to those measures. Naval research continues, with focus primarily placed on carriers and submarines.

With victory over Venad, jubilant crowds celebrated the unification of India throughout the Empire. Empress Farah Ashraf Shah particularly appreciated Lankan aid during the war, and noted that Lanka had previously aided India during the Madurai Uprising as well. In response to such loyalty and friendship by Lanka, the Indian Empire issued the Lankan Doctrine which stated that stated that any efforts by European nations to colonize land or interfere with Lanka would be viewed as acts of aggression, requiring Indian intervention. Moreover, it granted Lanka rights to trade all over India, and also resulted in Lanka being handed a specific proportion of the Maldives. With war in Venad over, India invades Pagaruyang to impose Indian hegemony over the Indian Ocean.

About the same time, the Vijaynagari fishery and leather industries were of significant importance as well.
 * Khedivate of Aceh Darrusalam: The Capital of Aceh was Banda and the population was 19.5 million. The Aceh military was modernised, standing at roughly 30,000 with 10% of the national navy harboured at Aceh ports. In the economic sector, rice played the role as a major food crop to be exported. However, other important crops such as tea, sugar cane, mango and tobacco maintained a major presence in Aceh's exports as well. About the same time, the Aceh fishery, oil and mining industries were of significant importance as well. Major oil and gas reserves are discovered by Spanish and Indian experts in Aceh, who collaborate on the project as per the Treaty of Hague. With the arrival of the Juan Standardo Oilo Company, extraction of the oil begins. Indian geological experts continue to seek out oil deposits, as it is assumed that Aceh has potential for being rich in oil.

 * ​Republic of Denmark: Denmark capitalizes on the fall of Pskov. With money flowing into the Kattegat and out of Pskovian wallets, there is one undoubted ruler of the Baltic Seas now. Former Communists flee to Jutland since Denmark is a Socialist state. Prime Minister Albert Wagner celebrates the end of the Great War, condemning Communism as a perversion of state-sponsored welfare. He worries that the actions of France have harmed Socialist movements in Europe, setting them back decades. In the meantime, a new destroyer is added to the Danish navy. There are over 120 ships in total flying Danish colors. The Nordic Republican Air Force is created this year. Before this year, the thirty planes at the UNR's disposal actually fell under the jurisdiction of the navy.
 * Republic of Sweden: Sweden also sees profit in the fall of Pskov. With money flowing into the Kattegat and out of Pskovian wallets, there is one undoubted ruler of the Baltic Seas now. Telephone lines are built in Sweden as electricity is brought to the northern cities and towns of Sweden. The Republic of Sweden commissions two destroyers into the Swedish fleet. There are now over 200 ships flying Swedish colors. Sweden offers to westernize the Caliphate in exchange for oil.
 * Republic of Norway: Norway's navy guards the North Sea as it protects its interests from pirates and would-be assailants in the North Atlantic. The economy of Norway improves this year as trade floods into the nation, especially the city of Oslo, which rivals even Copenhagen as the trading capital of the Baltic. In the meantime, a frigate is added to the Norwegian naval assets.  A plane is also built this year. An air force base is established outside Oslo.
 * Republic of Finland: The Republic of Finland trades heavily with Livonia this year while Helsinki, the easternmost trade capital of the Baltics, sees renovation. An air force base is established near Helsinki while three planes are built this year for the Finnish Air Force. In the meantime, the Finnish navy sees the addition of another frigate while a handful of older ships are retired this year. Several covered cruisers, which saw action in WWI, are scrapped this year and used for parts for newer ships.
 * Commonwealth of Iceland: Iceland proposes the Helluland Proclamation, which would make Helluland an independent nation, albeit allied with the United Nordic Republics and their interests. Proponents of the Proclamation believe that the time for Helluland's independence has long since passed. Opponents believe that such an act would only encourage warmongering from Algonquia. The Helluland Proclamation does not pass. An air force base in Rejkyjavik is established this year. Iceland requests to purchase the German strip of territory in Greenland.
 * Commonwealth States (Bavaria): We continue to deregulate the food and coal industry, while strengthening regulatory policies toward the financial and monetary industries. The Departments of Agricultural Management, Coal and Fuel, and the Office of Financial Crimes all expand their staffs and leadership positions this year. The Office of Financial Crimes (OFC), opens offices in Munich, Landshut, Regensburg, Augsburg, Stuttgart, Berlin, and Stettin. In other news, Claiton Dietricher's vice-governor, Jerome Pinscher, dies this year, and is replaced by Saxon state assemblywoman Melanie Leverenz.


 * Commonwealth Duchy of Oldenburg: With Melanie Leverenz gaining the vice-governorship in Bavaria, there is a rise in the number of emboldened women participating in the main political parties. Amongst them; prominent religious sisters with experience running the nation's education system. Even the Patriotic Front admits a woman into its Inner Circle. In other news, the Flying Aircraft Carriers are completed! High Admiral von Bergenstein presides over their christening before they impress onlookers with a demonstration of the aeroplane trapeze system. Czechia is again offered friendship and cooperation.
 * Commonwealth Lordship of Neu Norderney: The Osnabruck Uni's new observatory commences operation, with astronomers and physicists from all over Germany visiting it. Military expands.
 * Ruthenia: The Ruthenians continue to expand the airship hub at Minsk.
 * Czechia: Czechia begins to improve relations with Oldenburg, also seeking cooperation with them. Maximillian begins to try to modernize the country fully improving the economy by ordering the construction of factories giving jobs to the people. Agriculture is also being somewhat improved. Forests are cut down to expand farms. Rifles, machine guns and other handheld weapons are produced more and more along with ammo. Czechia begins to improve relations with Croatia, hopefully to tie the countries together more than they already were. Maximillian severely dislikes Communism, seeing it as a threat to all peace-faring nations. Maximillian declares that Communism be abolished from the country, which is somewhat controversial in both the government and the people. Polish-Czech ties are broken off.
 * Empire of Lanka: Emperor Dutugamunu II continues control the throne. The government continues to focus all efforts on industrialization. Accelerated industrialization continues in Lanka due to things like the Waardige Pact, and the country's focus on it. Lankan architecture begins to develop its own identity, influenced largely by renaissance/baroque Dutch architecture and Asian, specifically Indian architecture. Although small, the imperial army continues to remain one of the most advanced in Asia, due to European supplies. Population in the cities continue to get jobs in factories and get involved in industrial work. The most recent census taken in 1930, accounts for 5,918,784 citizens. The ports on the island remain in heavy use, even competing with some Indian ports in the region like Chennai. Significant urbanization causes the cities of Waardige, Sri Jaywardenepura Kotte, Kandy, Kalmunai, and Galle, to be flooded with people. Waardige continues to be a trade, technological and industrial center in Asia. The Waardige Canal stands more as a scenic part of Waardige, and sometimes get visited by Europeans for their honeymoons. The island is nearly covered in railroads, and both transportation and transport of people and goods on the island is very fast. Religion in the empire continues to be mixed with the three main religions of Hinduism, Buddhism and Dutch Reformist being worshiped on the main island while there are a few animist natives on Nava Kotte. The Lankan navy still holds warships that were supplied during the protectoratecy. With Galle and Waardige fitted to make ironclads and other warships, the Lankan navy continues to gain power. Lankan industrial funding continues to be used to build factories across the empire, and industrialize the whole nation. The Individual Imperial Number Edict stays in place. Lanka continues to massively export cigars, tea, tobacco, rubber, diamonds, and other precious gems. Lanka continues to hold alliances with Spain, Japan and Rome. The empire continues to purchase weapons from Japan and Rome. The Compulsory Education Act of 1919 which makes compulsory education from ages five to fifteen and makes work-only and school-only days. The Lankan Guilder continues to be minted and printed at the Lankan Imperial Bank. With Lankan military assistance in India on two different missions, he commisions two medals for those who have served. Propaganda is spread throughout the country which slanders and degrades Tamils and their religion of Hinduism. A law is created that prohibits Tamils joining the army, and Tamils marrying Sinhalans. A decree is also created that blocks any non-Sinhalans from joining the parliament. Tamils have the titular title of citizen removed and are declared subjects of the state, with fewer rights. Lanka thanks the Indian Empire for their generosity, and hopes that both nations will continue the great relationship. Lanka declines China's alliance offer, but offers them a trade agreement.
 * Roman Empire: The Roman Empire continues to recover from the shock of the Great War, in which many good Romans died. The Empire also focuses on its internal security and stability after noticing the power of the revolt in Africa and remembering painful memories of revolts in Italy and Egypt. Economic and civic policy are seen as key to improving stability and cohesiveness in the Empire. With that said, the Empire does have several foreign policy successes to note as well, mainly the unification of the Tartary and the return of order in the steppes. Trade continues to go well and the military continues to have a major part of Roman society, and new weapons like tanks, planes, and better submarines now play a significant role in the way the Empire wages war. The financial crisis affects the Empire badly, and the economy suffers and many go without work. The current administration works to help mediate the crisis even though it knows its days are numbered. The civil war in the caliphate forces the Empire and its ally Assyria to be on guard. Research in new areas of science continues. However, there are no current plans to get involved other than to increase security at the border. Supplies are sent to Holy League member Lombardy to help them resist the French invasion.
 * Reme: Reme begins to build up its military and economy. Reme elects a new president and starts to build up its navy. Meanwhile, trade is improved on, with industrialization, mainly former Byzantine areas slowly being introduced to populous areas. Lumber, cash crops, and other goods become a major export of Reme, and starts getting Reme a jump-start into the European economy. There is also the creation of New navy ships, to help modernize the Reman navy. Coal mines are built, and starts churning out coal at a consistent rate. Coal mining plants are also started to be upgraded. Reme also starts very slowly changing its focus to industrial things, with a nationwide railroad being considered to be built. Industrialization of river areas continue, as well as the production of textiles to cheaper the price of Reman cotton. Meanwhile, a Socialist-based party starts to gain seats in parliament, with plans to make Reme a more self-sufficient state. People are getting anxious over the threat of Communism to Reme, and vote on the crackdown of Communist sympathizers and their families. The Reman government is pleased that Pearl River has voted to join the Empire, and promises that their rights and property will be maintained. The Reman military is improved a bit in an effort to hold up its part of the Fraternal Alliance. The economy suffers a great deal, and as a result the Socialists and outlawed Communists get a bit too eager in their expression that they have the correct answer, resulting in many demonstrations and some riots.
 * Protectorate of Wolof: Wolof begins to build up its military and economy. Reman food and supplies come in to help the formerly starving nation, as well as the Reman military to help sustain order. Some representation is given in the Reman Parliament, to give Wolof a minimal say in how Reme should be run. Meanwhile, plans to industrialize the coastal areas as well as plans for fortifications are presented, and are started being worked on.
 * Ban Republic of Croatia (Banska Republika Hrvatska): Sewerage systems similar to Ragusan ones are built in major towns of theBan Republic. With growing Ragusan influence, and the beginning of further colonization, the navy expands rapidly using much of the Ragusan expertise. Moreover, with the influx of new resources in form of lumber, labour and metals, the navy begins expanding at a fast rate. More and more ships capable of crossing the Atlantic with ease are built. The Sabor intends to restore the glorious naval culture of the Neretva peoples and plans to do so by expanding the navy. The kravata (tie) is more and more used as an accessory. Trade routes are strengthened and the salt mines around Tuzla are explored as well as the salt industry in Pag and Nin. Using irrigation from the Danube, Sava, Drava, Drina, Cetina, Una, Vrbaš, Kupa, Neretva and other rivers the fields in the kingdom are developed, used for crops such as wheat, rye and barley. With trade routes increasing and Croatia entering an era of peace and of stability, the development of new trade ships is issued. Stone mining is furthered as well as the timber industry. The need for these resources rises as urbanization carries on. Iron ores in Dugopolje, Zenice and at last the 'mud' ore in Vojvodina and Eastern Slavonia are to be exploited alongside the silver and copper ores more frequently and of better quality than the iron ores. The exploitation of iron ores in the Lika and Gorski kotar areas continues. The salt industry in Ston is funded by the government. The influx of resources from Dahomey aids the economy. However, the government makes sure that the gold arriving isn't immediately put on the market in order to control the inflation in the worth of gold. The silver mine in Srebrenica is mined. Kotor Saraka (Adelaide) continues to expand. Draganić continues his research. 
 * Isles of the Archvoivodeship (Otoci Nadvojvodstva): The infrastructure is built up.

 * Spain  continues to prosper as a center of the arts and learning despite economic hardship. The construction of new buildings, roads and other infrastructure continues. but government funded projects end as the government begins using money in other places in an effort to save the falling economy. Spanish businesses expand across Spanish territories and intp other nations. The buildings rise higher and the trains run faster, especially in the major cities such as Zaragoza, Barcelona and Madrid. Cars and planes and all sorts of cool modern stuff. Spain continues to lay claim to Antarctica. The construction of ships and weaponry continues. Spain builds submarines. Boats and guns and cars. Spain increases the number of battle ready ships in the Royal Armada, although at a much slower rate. More automatic weaponry stuff. The Spanish colony of West Africa expands 16,000 sq km west. Croats in Dahomey retain their rights. Dahomey expands 8000 sq km into the interior of Africa. British West Africa is incorporated into the Spanish colonial domains in Africa. Spain continues to develop better tanks. Planes improve. Spain continues to restore the Vega Line because of French militarization. Science and stuff. Woohoo technology! Haroldo Ybarra continues the practices of the Cardona government. Spain commissions another aircraft carrier. Spain invades Morocco. #NoMoreWikiaChanges
 * Algeria  continues to feel the effects of the depression. Boats, guns, planes, cars. The Castillion government continues replicating the actions of the government in Spain.
 * Singapore   also continues to develop naval technology to protect its economic interests with the aid of Spain.


 * Andea: Andea's economy finally shows signs of recovering as the new government comes in and begins to implement new systems such as Price Administration. The debate about the constitutionality of this is limited, as the focus remains on economic growth. The new policies focus on "Trickle Up" or Demand Side economics. The military is set at 500,000 active men and 500,000 reserve men, with new machine pistols, now more commonly called "submachine guns" being implemented into the Andean military. The navy remains large, with the first aircraft carrier, a modified dreadnought, having finished production in 1927. Further developments into this type of naval vessel continue, with more being added to the military. Population stands at 107 million. An Andean researcher picks up on the research of the Borelian scientist who discovered atomic physics.
 * Union of Sudafrica: Continues to make leaps and bounds. The nation is officially made into a commonwealth of Andea, and is making strives toward independnece. The nation requests to deepen ties with Brazil's South African Colonies.
 * Brazil: Settlement of Brazil’s new African territories is encouraged, especially in Porto Natal, Porto Centauro (Richard’s Bay), named for military leader Manuel Marques de Sousa, Barreto (Pietermaritzburg), named for José Luís Mena Barreto, Vila João (Johannesburg), named for King João of Guiana, and Vinicia (Pretoria). With the threat of the Zulu eliminated diamond and gold industries can be fully exploited, and a mass immigration occurs to the region from other portions of South Africa, Hesperia and Europe. Settlement farther north increases at a rapid rate, and Brazilian explorers reach the Congo in the far north.

''' Kras, Britannia has a player now, you have to ask him about his colonies. The player is United Republic. '''


 * Commomwealth Kingdoms: as agreed, New Mecklenburg is released as an independent state, with Emperor Friedrich's younger nephew William crowned Grand Duke. In light of the proposed Second Treaty of Dandiri, the Commonwealth Kingdoms advise New Mecklenburg against signing it, lest its German heritage be diminished. It also advises New Mecklenburg to insist on the direct annexation of Borealian Australia, as agreed to in the Treaty of Dandiri (Mod Response please).
 * ​The Union of Borealia points out that the Commonwealth states of Bavaria and Oldenburg are in support of this treaty.
 * Brazil: Settlement of Brazil’s new African territories is encouraged, especially in Porto Natal, Porto Centauro (Richard’s Bay), named for military leader Manuel Marques de Sousa, Barreto (Pietermaritzburg), named for José Luís Mena Barreto, Vila João (Johannesburg), named for King João of Guiana, and Vinicia (Pretoria). With the threat of the Zulu eliminated diamond and gold industries can be fully exploited, and a mass immigration occurs to the region from other portions of South Africa, Hesperia and Europe. Settlement farther north increases at a rapid rate, and Brazilian explorers reach the Congo in the far north.
 * Korea: Korea continues to build up its military. Meanwhile, more Taoist and Buddhist temples are built. Taoism rises in popularity and gains more followers. Regular (read: not Imperial) Shinto gains a few more followers as well, mainly along the coastline in Southeastern Korea, particularly in Busan, Jejudo, Ulsan, and the coastal cities and coastal towns of Southern Gyeongsang Province. Mahayana Tao-Shintoism also continues to grow, and begins gaining followers from the areas where Shinto is growing, with some Shintoists switching to Mahayana Tao-Shintoism. The military in the colony of Haejagang (해자강) continues to be on high alert and continues to heavily patrol the Korean settlements. Meanwhile, industrialisation and modernisation continues in Korea (similar to OTL Japan's Meiji Restoration). Monarch Hyomyeong continues investing in technology and science. The Hyundai Motor Company continues to build more cars.
 * Czechia: The Czechian population over the years has increased to over 7.3 million people. Twin boys are born into the royal family. They are named Pavel and Telonsky. In celebration of the royal birth, Maximilian announces a massive festival at the city of Prague. Authorities have began to hunt down and arrest Communist supporters. While anti-Communist people cheer on the Voivode, some believe that it is unethical to arrest people simply for their political views. Multiple factories have been built in the past months, giving more people jobs. Ambassadors are sent to Germany to improve relations with the crown and the dukes as well. Later on, many Communist sympathizers are arrested, numbering in over 4000 men and women. Some high ranking liberals, even though they oppose Communism in every shape and form begin to grow suspicious of the monarch due to his unruly decisions. Unrest grows. Liberals become even more angry when the Transitional Communist Party of Czechia is outlawed and its members arrested. Maximilian begins to see the peoples anger, and decides to take a risk, releasing over 2000 Communist men and women. Most are pleased, but some are even more outraged, saying that "If some are released, why not all?". Because of this, people begin to learn more about Communism, and some are swayed by their beliefs. Fortunately, most of the population is not Communist or socialist. The country continues to industrialize.
 * The Glorious Empire of Japan: Emperor Hidehito calls for the Chinese to accept the peace terms of the Treaty of Sanya. He continues to oversee a military revival which has been aided by experience in the war with China. More tanks are built to support the troops. The navy also expands as shipyards begin to build armored cruisers to defend Japanese interests. The navy stumbles upon the idea of fast well gunned ships that use accuracy rather than sheer volume to destroy targets. Plans are drafted for several of these fast cruisers. The spread of bottom up economics continues and the emperor begins to subscribe to the notion. He implements policies to help the middle classes, helping the empire’s laborers achieve education.
 * The Imperial Colony of Borneo: The colony expands 24,000 sq km along the eastern coast of Borneo and improves transportation across the island.
 * The Imperial Colony of Sulawesi: The colony expands 24,000 sq km southward. Meanwhile, a rail line begins construction to link the north of the island to the south.
 * Algonquia continues to develop technologically, with special focus on the military. Submarine technology is advanced, with radio-guided torpedoes becoming widely used. The Algonquian military focuses on infantry and artillery, with the Council of Sachems deciding the necessary expenditure for tanks is simply not worth the result. Anti-tank mines are also developed, and manufactured widely. Work begins on developing a submachine gun. Meanwhile, airplane and airship service to the Zollern Insels increases development in the region, with its garrison expanded. Algonquia is pleased to hear that Neu Norderney is joining the Chan Chan treaty, seeing it as a sign of good relations to come. Expansion north continues, and Sahtudene is annexed this year. Algonquia asks to purchase New Guerney/Hispaniola from Britannia.
 * Borealia_Flag_2.png Union of Borealia: Both the economy and military improve across all the provinces of the Union. The thriving industries now run entirely on petroleum, procured from the oil collected from Alaska and California. While the traditional hearts of each city, particularly New Vienna, continue to reflect the same idyllic Baroque style, newer expansions to these urban centers are packed with factories and other industrial equipment. Cities recently built in southern California and northern Alaska are much more developed, as some parts of the Kiatagmiut province are almost unrecognizable. The economy of the Union stems from the exportation of natural resources. San Francisco and Mamterlliq continue to be the main centers of the gold trade, while oil wells begin to speckle the coastal range of California. More oil wells are built in Upper Alaska, bringing entrepreneurs to that region. Large monopolies on lumber and animal products are also prevalent in Santiago and Pannenstiel. All of these businesses are connected with diesel trains that span the continent. As the various earlier philosophies continue to grow and factionalize, these turn into competing ideas that promote further progression and ingenuity from the younger generation. Films in color are becoming more popular. Electrical power continues to spread, although one scientist claims to have created better light by conducting gas. A theory of quanta is developed to explain phenomenon as smaller levels, and more theories follow to develop machines at this level. A more practical nuclear reactor begins development, and is expected to be completed in five years. Tanks continue being developed. X-rays are being used to interpret internal injuries. Airplanes begin being built on the Remen design in Pannenstiel. We continue to uphold the New Munich Declaration along with Algonquia, Reme, Mexaca, and Arcadia. An organization for promoting peace in the Pacific is established, whose members currently include Korea, China and Ayutthaya. As more industrial goods continue to pour in from Reme, Borealian entrepreneurs begin selling more oil, gold, lumber, and livestock to the East Coast. Industrial goods are sent to Brazil and China to improve their respective economies. Borealia proposes the Second Treaty of Dandiri to offer to merge several colonies in the continent of greater Australia to form the Union of Australia. We specifically invite New Mecklenburg (mod response please), Croatia, and Britain to sign the document. We also encourage Timor (mod response), Rome, Japan, and the UNR to also consider contributing to the Union. 
 * ​The State of Australia: The state greatly increases this year by beginning joint control over the colony of New Mecklenburg, provided by Germany on the provision of ceding the whole colony by 1938. The capital of the state is centered at Dandiri (OTL Brisbane), which administer over all land settlements and the Luwrit Sea (OTL Tasman Sea). Schools and media centers are established that teach Borealianist philosophy along with essential education. Supplies and engineers are continually sent to the Timor Sultanate to improve their industry. Settlements begin to grow around the Lake Eyre region. Australia accepts Germany's apology, but focuses more on organizing their own independence.
 * The Commonwealth of Oceana: Naval bases continue being built to enforce claims on several islands (from OTL Palau to Fiji). A major naval base is constructed on the Island of Midway in the Republic of Hawaii. Another major naval base is constructed in Fiji to complement the base on Midway. Exploration of West Antarctica continues. The nation considers expanding the Treaty of Midway over the waters within the Luwrit Sea. Military from Borealia is convoyed to these islands.
 * Colony of Kinshasa: With the incorporated French colony continues to expand its lumber and mining companies with cheap labor picked up from surrounding natives. An organized government forms along with some small villages. The border expands inward 750 px.

The government, upon hearing the discussion of the proposal for a Second Treaty of Dandiri, declares its general support, provided the terms of the First Treaty are complied with, and that the Union maintains Neu Mecklenburg's government and monarchy. An official communique is sent to the Grand Ducal government of Neu Mecklenburg informing them of Oldenburg's position and advice. Economy improves.
 * Commonwealth Lordship of Neu Norderney: The astronomers in the observatory make very precise observations of the heavens, discovering new stars, asteroids and nebulae. Military expands.
 * Republic of China: We officially finish the Fourth Sino-Japanese War with Chinese surrender, ceding our entire coast to Japan. We proceed to turn our forces around and begin pushing back the Mongolians easily. Following our successes against the Mongols, we demand Mongol surrender. We create the Anti-Tripartite Pact, a pact to limit the influence of the TP, planning for Mongolia to join as part of their surrender. We offer Borealia the chance to join the Anti-Tripartite Pact, awaiting their response.

Regular (read: not Imperial) Shinto gains a few more followers as well, mainly along the coastline in Southeastern Korea, particularly in Busan, Jejudo, Ulsan, and the coastal cities and coastal towns of Southern Gyeongsang Province. Mahayana Tao-Shintoism also continues to grow, and begins gaining followers from the areas where Shinto is growing, with some Shintoists switching to Mahayana Tao-Shintoism. The military in the colony of Haejagang (해자강) continues to be on high alert and continues to heavily patrol the Korean settlements. Meanwhile, industrialisation and modernisation continues in Korea (similar to OTL Japan's Meiji Restoration). Monarch Hyomyeong continues investing in technology and science. The Hyundai Motor Company continues to build more cars.
 * Czechia: Socialist peoples begin to gather together in Prague, protesting for rights for all socialist men and women, demanding change. Czech police are ordered to arrest all Communist protesters. It escalates into a full blown riot, with buildings looted, infrastructure damaged, and people injured or even killed. Maximilian orders the army to assemble together, to attack the rioters. Many are killed in the next month. Eventually it is over, and most of the surviving rioters are arrested, although some do manage to flee Prague. Leaders of the former Transitional Communist Party of Czechia begin to gather Communist supporters in Brno. The Communist leaders raise a coup in Brno, raising a new flag for their believed to be future Czechia. The Communists begin to loot any weapons they can in the surrounding lands. Any captured military officers are forced to train the men. When news reaches Prague, an outraged Maximilian orders all Communist prisoners to be mass executed by firing squad, however this is hidden from the public. However, despite their best the news leaks, and the people are outraged, especially the Communist rebels. Somewhere secret, high ranking officials gather to discuss the rash decisions of the Voivode. Eventually, everyone agrees: He must be removed from power. A coup in Prague is launched to end both the monarchy, and to end the rebellion, due to their distrust of Maximilian. It is started by high ranking rightists, including officers of the army. Maximilian is forced from power, being given a civilian life in Northern Czechia along with the Kliment family. The government is controlled by a temporary council, and the nation is transformed from a monarchy, to a republic. The reaction by the loyal population is positive, with the concept of democracy finally arriving in Czechia. The military is mobilized, and the country prepares for civil war.
 * Ruthenia: The Ruthenians continue to expand the airship hub at Minsk.
 * Andea: Andea's economy finally shows signs of recovering as the new government comes in and begins to implement new systems such as Price Administration. The debate about the constitutionality of this is limited, as the focus remains on economic growth. The new policies focus on "Trickle Up" or Demand Side economics. The military is set at 500,000 active men and 500,000 reserve men, with new machine pistols, now more commonly called "submachine guns" being implemented into the Andean military. The navy remains large, with the first aircraft carrier, a modified dreadnought, having finished production in 1927. Further developments into this type of naval vessel continue, with more being added to the military. Population stands at 107 million. An Andean researcher picks up on the research of the Borelian scientist who discovered atomic physics.
 * Union of Sudafrica: Continues to make leaps and bounds. The nation is officially made into a commonwealth of Andea, and is making strives toward independence. The nation requests to deepen ties with Brazil's South African Colonies.
 * Commonwealth Duchy of Oldenburg: The economy improves. The state reopens the rest of the Spitzbergen mines, and encourages families to move to Christiandorf. The OMW company begins manufacturing a new, cheap car model, with the aim of bringing automobiles within reach of the middle-class. The government looks forward to the fulfilment of the First Treaty of Dandiri next year, with the State of Australia joining Neu Mecklenburg.
 * Commonwealth Lordship of Neu Norderney: Astronomers in the Western Observatory observe a red-shift in a number of spiral nebulae, thereby discovering that they are receding from the Earth. The University of Osnabruck publishes the discovery in its annual papers. Military expands.
 * Commonwealth States (Bavaria): Claiton Dietricher continues to serve as Governor-General, and oversees continual deregulation of the agricultural/coal industries. The military expands as Melanie Leverenz promotes the usage of a strong, robust and healthy German army. Many see her as a supporter of a large military, making her popular among Democrats and Conservatives and somewhat unpopular among Marian Liberals. Both Dietricher and Leverenz make several tours around the States, promoting local politicians, both Democrat and Liberal. Several news agencies and pundits spread rumors of Leverenz running for Governor-General.
 * Roman Empire: The Roman Empire continues to recover from the shock of the Great War, in which many good Romans died. The Empire also focuses on its internal security and stability after noticing the power of the revolt in Africa and remembering painful memories of revolts in Italy and Egypt. Economic and civic policy are seen as key to improving stability and cohesiveness in the Empire. With that said, the Empire does have several foreign policy successes to note as well, mainly the unification of the Tartary and the return of order in the steppes. Trade continues to go well and the military continues to have a major part of Roman society, and new weapons like tanks, planes, and better submarines now play a significant role in the way the Empire wages war. The financial crisis affects the Empire badly, and the economy suffers and many go without work. The current administration works to help mediate the crisis even though it knows its days are numbered. The civil war in the caliphate forces the Empire and its ally Assyria to be on guard. Research in new areas of science continues. However, there are no current plans to get involved other than to increase security at the border. Supplies are sent to Holy League member Lombardy to help them resist the French invasion.
 * Reme: Reme begins to build up its military and economy. Reme elects a new president and starts to build up its navy. Meanwhile, trade is improved on, with industrialization, mainly former Byzantine areas slowly being introduced to populous areas. Lumber, cash crops, and other goods become a major export of Reme, and starts getting Reme a jump-start into the European economy. There is also the creation of New navy ships, to help modernize the Reman navy. Coal mines are built, and starts churning out coal at a consistent rate. Coal mining plants are also started to be upgraded. Reme also starts very slowly changing its focus to industrial things, with a nationwide railroad being considered to be built. Industrialization of river areas continue, as well as the production of textiles to cheaper the price of Reman cotton. Meanwhile, a Socialist-based party starts to gain seats in parliament, with plans to make Reme a more self-sufficient state. People are getting anxious over the threat of Communism to Reme, and vote on the crackdown of Communist sympathizers and their families. The Reman government is pleased that Pearl River has voted to join the Empire, and promises that their rights and property will be maintained. The Reman military is improved a bit in an effort to hold up its part of the Fraternal Alliance. The economy suffers a great deal, and as a result the Socialists and outlawed Communists get a bit too eager in their expression that they have the correct answer, resulting in many demonstrations and some riots.
 * Protectorate of Wolof: Wolof begins to build up its military and economy. Reman food and supplies come in to help the formerly starving nation, as well as the Reman military to help sustain order. Some representation is given in the Reman Parliament, to give Wolof a minimal say in how Reme should be run. Meanwhile, plans to industrialize the coastal areas as well as plans for fortifications are presented, and are started being worked on.
 * Ban Republic of Croatia (Banska Republika Hrvatska): Sewerage systems similar to Ragusan ones are built in major towns of theBan Republic. With growing Ragusan influence, and the beginning of further colonization, the navy expands rapidly using much of the Ragusan expertise. Moreover, with the influx of new resources in form of lumber, labour and metals, the navy begins expanding at a fast rate. More and more ships capable of crossing the Atlantic with ease are built. The Sabor intends to restore the glorious naval culture of the Neretva peoples and plans to do so by expanding the navy. The kravata (tie) is more and more used as an accessory. Trade routes are strengthened and the salt mines around Tuzla are explored as well as the salt industry in Pag and Nin. Using irrigation from the Danube, Sava, Drava, Drina, Cetina, Una, Vrbaš, Kupa, Neretva and other rivers the fields in the kingdom are developed, used for crops such as wheat, rye and barley. With trade routes increasing and Croatia entering an era of peace and of stability, the development of new trade ships is issued. Stone mining is furthered as well as the timber industry. The need for these resources rises as urbanization carries on. Iron ores in Dugopolje, Zenice and at last the 'mud' ore in Vojvodina and Eastern Slavonia are to be exploited alongside the silver and copper ores more frequently and of better quality than the iron ores. The exploitation of iron ores in the Lika and Gorski kotar areas continues. The salt industry in Ston is funded by the government. The influx of resources from Dahomey aids the economy. However, the government makes sure that the gold arriving isn't immediately put on the market in order to control the inflation in the worth of gold. The silver mine in Srebrenica is mined. Kotor Saraka (Adelaide) continues to expand. Draganić continues his research. 
 * Isles of the Archvoivodeship (Otoci Nadvojvodstva): The infrastructure is built up.
 * Ban Republic of Carantania (Banska Republika Karantanija): Being Alpine Slavic nation, the leaders begin a programme to create a standardized Carantanian language that will reflect on both the Slavic and Alpine (Germanic) aspects of Carantania.
 * Sukadang Županija: Croatization. Expansion onto the other parts of Borneo.
 * Croatian Africa: Continues to expand.
 * White Croatia: Large-scale Croatization, numerous harsh measures are introduced to ensure White Croatia is Croatian.
 * Brazil: Settlement of Brazil’s new African territories is encouraged, especially in Porto Natal, Porto Centauro (Richard’s Bay), named for military leader Manuel Marques de Sousa, Barreto (Pietermaritzburg), named for José Luís Mena Barreto, Vila João (Johannesburg), named for King João of Guiana, and Vinicia (Pretoria). With the threat of the Zulu eliminated diamond and gold industries can be fully exploited, and a mass immigration occurs to the region from other portions of South Africa, Hesperia and Europe. Settlement farther north increases at a rapid rate, and Brazilian explorers reach the Congo in the far north.

''' Sky says yes to the treaty on the condition that the Croatians are treated well and he gets money. '''


 * Commonwealth Kingdoms: Emperor Friedrich dies this year at the age of 65, his son, Karl, succeeds him as King in the seven kingdoms. As the son of Friedrich, Karl calls for a new election for King of the Germans, Holy Roman Emperor, and Protector of the Commonwealth. An important milestone is that the coronation of Karl IV is the first widely broadcasted to the people via radio. Whereas in previous coronations, the entrance of the soon-to-be-King into the coronation hall in Duke William Palace was announced to "Your Grace (to the Archbishop of Hamburg), Honorable Lords, Dignified Guests", Karl's was announced "Your Grace, Honorable Lords, Dignified Guests, and People of the Realm", to denote the much wider than previous audiences. After the coronation, Karl begins to secretly commission a project, dubbed the "Lübeck Project", to utilize nuclear technology to create a weapon of untold destruction, possible according to the calculations of Germany's leading physicists. He sends top secret information packets to the heads of the other German states, seeking their input before the Project officially begins.
 * Bavarian Dip: Bavaria proposes Erika von Greschaft, 1st Countess Greschaft, for King of the Germans.


 * Indian Empire: Queen Farah Shah was proclaimed the Empress of India in 1888, starting a new era. The Indian population rose to about 741,772,000, and the flocking of the people to coastal cities continued, with a mass increase of population in Kolkata, Mahmudpur, Karachi, Mumbai, Surat and various other minor cities and townships throughout the state. The Indian army, equipped with modern armaments stood at 720,000 troops with an additional 500,000 reserves whilst the Imperial Guard was composed of 20,000 troops and the armament industry thrived on local and national level, with armaments rarely imported from foreign nations with Andea being the only exception case. The Indian navy experimented on aircraft carriers and had started production of larger classes of dreadnoughts ships, churning out first rate battleships for various fleets, and more third rates, and fourth rates with the occasional second rate to augment the smaller patrol fleets with 40% of the national navy harboured at the Andaman and Kolkata ports. In agriculture was the largest economic focus of India, exporting various crops to foreign nations with the international jute and cotton textile production largely under Indian control. Along the same time, the Indian Renaissance were in full swing, with movements such as the Young India movement having aided in national modernisation and a massive rise in literacy and education, with major developments in Chemistry, Physics, Biology, etc. Moreover, promotion of industrialisation and capitalism allowed the Imperial authorities to construct a Trans-National Railway, connecting the entire Empire as well as introduction of many other commodities such as telephones, bulbs, electricity. Exception progress in regards to radio waves had already allowed India to develop the Shahi antenna and the radio. The Indian espionage authorities had cooperated with scientists in this regard, and India had soon constructed thousands of numbers stations throughout its Empire, developing the best espionage network in Asia, rivalling that of the Roman Empire. The state also was keen to invest in its defense sector, generally to keep India protected from any foreign invasion. As such, the newly commissioned Agni V Tank was declared fit for service, and delivered to hundreds of brigades throughout India. Armament companies in India had also developed the Mahmud I and the Timurid III Tanks, which were to be tested by the military for their durability. Although not of considerable importance internationally, the Indian automobile industry was quite successful nationally and helped improve the transport conditions in the state. By 1940, 100% of the Upper Class, 59% of the Middle Class and 14% of the Lower Class possessed vehicles. These automobile companies also contributed to the state military, by offering various vehicles to be used for military transport. Meanwhile, the Indian authorities took a keen interest in developing ballistic missiles after having observed rocket tests in the Andaman Islands. Hence, the state developed a commission to fund research into and the development of missiles. On 14th of December, Empress Farah Shah fell seriously ill and was quickly transported to a hospital in Kolkata. In her absence, her son Syed Hashim Saddam Hamid Hussein Ashraf Shah bin Hakeem bin Malik Hashim was appointed as the acting Head the Indian Empire, him previously being the Crown Prince and heir to the throne.
 * Khedivate of Bahamani: The Capital of Bahamani was Hyderabad and the population was 90.2 million. The Bahamani military was modernised, standing at roughly 80,000, with 15% of the national navy harboured at Bahamani ports. The Bahamani port cities of Mahmudpur played a major role in international trade due to its strategic position, competing against Caliphates ports. In the economic sector, rice played the role as a major food crop to be exported. However, other important crops such as cotton, sugar cane, mango and tobacco maintained a major presence in Bahamanis exports as well. About the same time, the Bahamani textile and fishery industries reached new heights.
 * Khedivate of Udaipur: The Capital of Udaipur was Ahmadabad and the population was 70.8 million. The Udaipuri military was modernised, standing at roughly 160,000, with 20% of the national navy harboured at Bahamani ports. The Udaipuri port cities of Karachi and Surat played a major role in international trade due to their strategic position, competing against Caliphates ports. In the economic sector, wheat played the role as a major food crop to be exported. However, other important crops such as rice, cotton, cotton and ruits maintained a major presence in Udaipurs exports as well. About the same time, the Udaipur fishery, sugar and leather industries were of significant importance as well.
 * Khedivate of Vijaynagar: The Capital of Vijaynagar was Coimbatore and the population was 40.4 million. The Vijaynagari military was modernised, standing at roughly 120,000 with 15% of the national navy harboured at Vijaynagari ports. The Vijaynagari port city of Chennai played a major role in international trade due to its strategic position, competing against Lankan ports. In the economic sector, rice played the role as a major food crop to be exported. However, other important crops such as tea, sugar cane, mango and tobacco maintained a major presence in Vijaynagars exports as well. About the same time, the Vijaynagari fishery and leather industries were of significant importance as well.
 * Khedivate of Aceh Darrusalam: The Capital of Aceh was Banda and the population was 19.5 million. The Aceh military was modernised, standing at roughly 30,000 with 10% of the national navy harboured at Aceh ports. In the economic sector, rice played the role as a major food crop to be exported. However, other important crops such as tea, sugar cane, mango and tobacco maintained a major presence in Aceh's exports as well. About the same time, the Aceh fishery, oil and mining industries were of significant importance as well. Major oil and gas reserves are discovered by Spanish and Indian experts in Aceh, who collaborate on the project as per the Treaty of Hague. With the arrival of the Juan Standardo Oilo Company, extraction of the oil begins. Indian geological experts discover huge gas deposits in Aceh, and immediately begin extraction
 * Indian Overseas Territories: Naval bases continue to be built to enforce claims on several islands such as Mauritius, Seychelles, Tromelin and Reunion. The Indian Navy attempted to enforce complete control over the Indian Ocean, aggressively patrolling the sea to combat Somalian pirates.
 * Korea: Korea continues to build up its military. Meanwhile, more Taoist and Buddhist temples are built. Taoism rises in popularity and gains more followers. Regular (read: not Imperial) Shinto gains a few more followers as well, mainly along the coastline in Southeastern Korea, particularly in Busan, Jejudo, Ulsan, and the coastal cities and coastal towns of Southern Gyeongsang Province. Mahayana Tao-Shintoism also continues to grow, and begins gaining followers from the areas where Shinto is growing, with some Shintoists switching to Mahayana Tao-Shintoism. The military in the colony of Haejagang (해자강) continues to be on high alert and continues to heavily patrol the Korean settlements. Meanwhile, industrialisation and modernisation continue in Korea (similar to OTL Japan's Meiji Restoration). Monarch Hyomyeong continues investing in technology and science. The Hyundai Motor Company continues to build more cars.
 * Czechia: The war continues on in the south. More men and women flock to the Communist banner, mostly those untrusting of the new republic. Reforms are being made in the old government. The first Czech elections are scheduled to begin in 1941. Hopefully by then the civil war will be over, with the republic victorious. The nation continues to industrialize.
 * Brazil: Settlement of Brazil’s new African territories is encouraged, especially in Porto Natal, Porto Centauro (Richard’s Bay), named for military leader Manuel Marques de Sousa, Barreto (Pietermaritzburg), named for José Luís Mena Barreto, Vila João (Johannesburg), named for King João of Guiana, and Vinicia (Pretoria). With the threat of the Zulu eliminated diamond and gold industries can be fully exploited, and a mass immigration occurs to the region from other portions of South Africa, Hesperia and Europe. Settlement farther north increases at a rapid rate, and Brazilian explorers reach the Congo in the far north.
 * Borealia_Flag_2.png Union of Borealia: Both the economy and military improve across all the provinces of the Union. Oil produced from California, Alaska and foreign lands are imported to power plants throughout the nation, which in turn produce electrical energy for the entire continent. In order to save more energy, massive hydroelectric dams are constructed along the Navajo (OTL Colorado) and Amerigo (OTL Colombia) Rivers. The dingy industrial centers of major cities are done away with, and replaced with modern economic districts, filled with massive yet ornate skyscrapers based on the Neo-Gothic style. Even the capital building in New Vienna is renovated in this manner, with only Queen Frances Square remaining Baroque. Super manufacturing companies emerge from these cities and export their products worldwide. San Francisco and Mamterlliq continue to be the main centers of the gold and oil trade, as well as highly diverse communities bringing in many immigrants from East Asia. Large highways connect these cities together, bustling with transportation including automobiles, aircraft, and electric trains. The cities are also filled with electrical lights based on fleuresent gas, as well as a thriving entertainment business such as movies and cartoons. The Romanesque party dies out and is replaced with the Gothic party, which for the time being stands as the leftist opponent of the Borealian school. Electrical machines for mass computation are developed, which take advantage of the smaller components created in recent years. Similar innovations are being implemented to create television. Nuclear power is also studied to replace oil. The Borealian Airforce is established, with an aircraft carrier being constructed to take it out to sea. Research is being poured into the creation of rockets, with BARD performing experiments in the Andaman Islands. We continue to uphold the New Munich Declaration along with Algonquia, Reme, Mexaca, and Arcadia. The Pacific Protection Sphere, based around the Treaty of Midway, continues to promote peace in the Pacific and East Asia. A global trade network is established to promote Borealian companies in Arabia, Africa, Australia, and India. The World Trade Center in New Munich is built this year as a symbol of the world economy. Borealia proposes merging New Munich's protectorates in Oceana with Hesperia's in Africa, thus expanding the Union of Borealia and Hesperia into a Global Treaty Organization.
 * ​The State of Australia: A hefty payment is given to White Croatia using the reparation money payed by Germany years earlier. Australia joins the Union of Australia this year.
 * The Commonwealth of Oceana: With an official established government to administrate over the central Pacific, the Commonwealth goes independent this year.
 * Colony of Kinshasa: With the incorporated French colony continues to expand its lumber and mining companies with cheap labor picked up from surrounding natives. An organized government forms along with some small villages. The border expands inward 750 px.
 * Colony of North Antarctica: A small base is established on Antarctica's northernmost peninsula, inhabited for most of the year. The lighthouse is completed this year, and becomes the tallest lighthouse in recorded history thus far.
 * Empire of Mexaca: The infrastructure and economy improves. More rail lines and factories are built.
 * Commonwealth Duchy of Oldenburg: The government congratulates Neu Mecklenburg on the successful and peaceful acquisition of the State of Australia, and thanks Borealia for upholding its agreement and allowing the union. Duke Wilhelm II's health begins a slow decline. Military expands, me specially with the acquisition of tanks. On my way! Unveils its new affordable car and many are purchased by middle-class families, predominantly those in the outer suburbs of Oldenburg who have a long commute.
 * Commonwealth Lordship of Neu Norderney: The observatory makes more exciting discoveries, including more and more evidence that spiral nebulae and distant stars are moving away from Earth at speed. Economy expands.
 * Lombardy: Our military is continuing to increase due to technology becoming better. Factories still make weapons and vehicles for our military but they are not the mostly made items. With the increase of factories in the nation, more jobs are being created. The employment rate has continued to increase in the nation. Agriculture is the best industry in the nation. The railway industry is continuing to work on improving the tracks. Doctors are now continuing to use new technology to make people better. Cars are one of the only ways to get around these days besides using the train. Trade goes well with the Roman Empire. The navy continues to make ships for trade and for future tensions. We continue to build many buildings like hospitals, colleges and banks.
 * Republic of China: We request a ceasfire with Mongolian forces, with the Mongolians still controlling some of our territory despite their advance being incredibly slowed. In the Chinese 1940 General Election, the Chinese Nationalist Party crashes to 34% support. Meanwhile, the Conservatives shoot up to 48% support, meaning the Chinese Conservative Party takes power. The Conservative government begins the process of demobilisation of our troops, expecting an end to the war. With a ceasefire expected to be accepted, but with angry neighbours all around us, the Conservatives feel there is a need for protection and so requests vassalisation by the Roman Empire. We resort to the Romans because we have a hatred for all Tripartite members and Mongolia because of war and Borealia supported Mongolian vassalisation of China in discussion about it. With Rome as the closest power that may accept us, we turned to them.
 * Spain  continues to prosper as a center of the arts and learning despite economic hardship. The construction of new buildings, roads and other infrastructure continues. but government funded projects end as the government begins using money in other places in an effort to save the falling economy. Spanish businesses expand across Spanish territories and into other nations. The buildings rise higher and the trains run faster, especially in the major cities such as Zaragoza, Barcelona and Madrid. Cars and planes and all sorts of cool modern stuff. Spain continues to lay claim to Antarctica. The construction of ships and weaponry continues. Spain builds submarines. Boats and guns and cars. Spain increases the number of battle ready ships in the Royal Armada, although at a much slower rate. More automatic weaponry stuff. The Spanish colony of West Africa expands 16,000 sq km west. Croats in Dahomey retain their rights. Dahomey expands 8000 sq km into the interior of Africa. British West Africa is incorporated into the Spanish colonial domains in Africa. Spain continues to develop better tanks. Planes improve. Spain continues to restore the Vega Line because of French militarization. Science and stuff. Woohoo technology! Haroldo Ybarra continues the practices of the Cardona government. Spain commissions another aircraft carrier. The northern Moroccan territories are brought into the Spanish realm and the victory is celebrated. The nephew of the last Moroccan king is elevated as Prince Abd al-Malik and the leader of Spanish-aligned Moroccan Principality. The Moroccan rump state remains intact in the south. Spain builds another aircraft carrier. #NoMoreWikiaChanges


 * Algeria  continues to recover from the depression. Meanwhile, Algeria continues to manage its internal affairs.
 * Singapore   also continues to develop naval technology to protect its economic interests with the aid of Spain.
 * The Moroccan Principality enters the realm of Spain. The Prince condemns those who remain in the Moroccan survivor state and stuff. Morocco adopts Spanish customs and the Spanish model of government, with the Moroccan Senate being created. Elections are held and the Senate is evenly split between those who approve of Spanish rule and those who are against it. Protests are held in the streets but are quickly silenced. The Moroccan navy receives ships and weaponry from Spain as a show of good faith.
 * Ruthenia: The Ruthenians continue to expand the airship hub at Minsk.
 * Andea: Andea's economy finally shows signs of recovering as the new government comes in and begins to implement new systems such as Price Administration.

 * Indian Empire: Queen Farah Shah was proclaimed the Empress of India in 1888, starting a new era. The Indian population rose to about 841,772,000, and the flocking of the people to coastal cities continued, with a mass increase of population in Kolkata, Mahmudpur, Karachi, Mumbai, Surat and various other minor cities and townships throughout the state.

The Indian navy experimented on aircraft carriers and had started production of larger classes of dreadnoughts ships, churning out first rate battleships for various fleets, and more third rates, and fourth rates with the occasional second rate to augment the smaller patrol fleets with 40% of the national navy harboured at the Andaman and Kolkata ports. In agriculture was the largest economic focus of India, exporting various crops to foreign nations with the international jute and cotton textile production largely under Indian control. Along the same time, the Indian Renaissance were in full swing, with movements such as the Young India movement having aided in national modernisation and a massive rise in literacy and education, with major developments in Chemistry, Physics, Biology, etc. Moreover, promotion of industrialisation and capitalism allowed the Imperial authorities to construct a Trans-National Railway, connecting the entire Empire as well as introduction of many other commodities such as telephones, bulbs, electricity. Exception progress in regards to radio waves had already allowed India to develop the Shahi antenna and the radio. The Indian espionage authorities had cooperated with scientists in this regard, and India had soon constructed thousands of numbers stations throughout its Empire, developing the best espionage network in Asia, rivalling that of the Roman Empire. The state also was keen to invest in its defense sector, generally to keep India protected from any foreign invasion. As such, the newly commissioned Agni V Tank was declared fit for service, and delivered to hundreds of brigades throughout India. Armament companies in India had also developed the Mahmud I and the Timurid III Tanks, which were to be tested by the military for their durability. Although not of considerable importance internationally, the Indian automobile industry was quite successful nationally and helped improve the transport conditions in the state. By 1940, 100% of the Upper Class, 59% of the Middle Class and 14% of the Lower Class possessed vehicles. These automobile companies also contributed to the state military, by offering various vehicles to be used for military transport. Meanwhile, the Indian authorities took a keen interest in developing ballistic missiles after having observed rocket tests in the Andaman Islands. Hence, the state developed a commission to fund research into and the development of missiles. Empress Farah Shah died in her sleep on 18 December, and a general funeral was held for her. She was the most revered Indian monarch, and many foreign leaders were invited to attend her funeral. Subsequently, the inauguration of Syed Hashim Saddam Hamid Hussein Ashraf Shah bin Hakeem bin Malik Hashim as Emperor of India took place.
 * Khedivate of Aceh Darrusalam: The Capital of Aceh was Banda and the population was 19.5 million. The Aceh military was modernised, standing at roughly 30,000 with 10% of the national navy harboured at Aceh ports. In the economic sector, rice played the role as a major food crop to be exported. However, other important crops such as tea, sugar cane, mango and tobacco maintained a major presence in Aceh's exports as well. About the same time, the Aceh fishery, oil and mining industries were of significant importance as well. Major oil and gas reserves are discovered by Spanish and Indian experts in Aceh, who collaborate on the project as per the Treaty of Hague. With the arrival of the Juan Standardo Oilo Company, extraction of the oil begins. Indian geological experts discover huge gas deposits in Aceh, and immediately begin extraction
 * Indian Overseas Territories: Naval bases continue to be built to enforce claims on several islands such as Mauritius, Seychelles, Tromelin and Reunion. The Indian Navy attempted to enforce complete control over the Indian Ocean, aggressively patrolling the sea to combat Somalian pirates.
 * Caliphate Diplomacy: Caliph Hakeem bin Malik offers his condolences and visits India to attend the funeral of Empress Farah Shah.
 * Borealian Diplomacy: President Henry Bridge attendst the funeral and coronation in India, making personal connetions with the Indian court and the Caliph.
 * Korea: Korea continues to build up its military. Meanwhile, more Taoist and Buddhist temples are built. Taoism rises in popularity and gains more followers. Regular (read: not Imperial) Shinto gains a few more followers as well, mainly along the coastline in Southeastern Korea, particularly in Busan, Jejudo, Ulsan, and the coastal cities and coastal towns of Southern Gyeongsang Province. Mahayana Tao-Shintoism also continues to grow, and begins gaining followers from the areas where Shinto is growing, with some Shintoists switching to Mahayana Tao-Shintoism. The military in the colony of Haejagang (해자강) continues to be on high alert and continues to heavily patrol the Korean settlements. Meanwhile, industrialisation and modernisation continue in Korea (similar to OTL Japan's Meiji Restoration). Monarch Hyomyeong continues investing in technology and science. The Hyundai Motor Company continues to build more cars.
 * Ruthenia: Tragically, Grand Duke Vladimir II dies after a reign of 40 years. His son is crowned as Grand Duke Vladimir III.  The Ruthenians have extended their airship service all across Europe. The Koliada Airship Line is not the only power in the business by a longshot, but it boasts some of the finest service in the entire continent.


 * Lombardy: Our military is continuing to increase due to technology becoming better. Factories still make weapons and vehicles for our military but they are not the mostly made items. With the increase of factories in the nation, more jobs are being created. The employment rate has continued to increase in the nation. Agriculture is the best industry in the nation. The railway industry is continuing to work on improving the tracks. Doctors are now continuing to use new technology to make people better. Cars are one of the only ways to get around these days besides using the train. Trade goes well with the Roman Empire. The navy continues to make ships for trade and for future tensions. We continue to build many buildings like hospitals, colleges and banks.
 * Czechia: The civil war is over, with a Republic victory. Communist leaders are executed, and other rebels are either imprisoned, or forced to pay reparations to the state. The Czech army moves into former Communist territory, establishing security. The 1941 elections begin. The elections are tough, but eventually a republican named Pensyml Dodgery becomes the first president of Czechia. He aims to restore stability to the country after years of turmoil. Old elements of the monarchy are washed out, and new, democratic ideas are brought in. A new constitution is created for the new republic. Presidents are allowed three years in office, and can run for a second term after their first. Pensyml begins to improve relations with neighboring countries. Pensyml begins to make change in the country, industrializing it more. He allows foreign companies to come in and begin selling their products. He begins to grow popular with the people and government officials. Although some of the greedy grow distain with him.
 * Borealia_Flag_2.png Union of Borealia: Both the economy and military improve across all the provinces of the Union. Oil produced from California, Alaska and foreign lands are imported to power plants throughout the nation, which in turn produce electrical energy for the entire continent. In order to save more energy, massive hydroelectric dams are constructed along the Navajo (OTL Colorado) and Amerigo (OTL Colombia) Rivers. The dingy industrial centers of major cities are done away with, and replaced with modern economic districts, filled with massive yet ornate skyscrapers based on the Neo-Gothic style. Even the capital building in New Vienna is renovated in this manner, with only Queen Frances Square remaining Baroque. Super manufacturing companies emerge from these cities and export their products worldwide. San Francisco and Mamterlliq continue to be the main centers of the gold and oil trade, as well as highly diverse communities bringing in many immigrants from East Asia. Large highways connect these cities together, bustling with transportation including automobiles, aircraft, and electric trains. The cities are also filled with electrical lights based on fleuresent gas, as well as a thriving entertainment business such as movies and cartoons. The Romanesque party dies out and is replaced with the Gothic party, which for the time being stands as the leftist opponent of the Borealian school. Electrical machines for mass computation are developed, which take advantage of the smaller components created in recent years. Similar innovations are being implemented to create television. Nuclear power is also studied to replace oil. The Borealian Airforce is established, with an aircraft carrier being constructed to take it out to sea. Research is being poured into the creation of rockets, with BARD performing experiments in the Andaman Islands. We continue to uphold the New Munich Declaration along with Algonquia, Reme, Mexaca, and Arcadia. The Pacific Protection Sphere, based around the Treaty of Midway, continues to promote peace in the Pacific and East Asia. A global trade network is established to promote Borealian companies in Arabia, Africa, Australia, and India. The World Trade Center in New Munich is built this year as a symbol of the world economy. General President Henry Bridge visits India to meet with the hospitalized Empress, intending to stay until she recovers or a new monarch is crowned. This is the first General President to visit a foreign sovereign state. 
 * Colony of Kinshasa: With the incorporated French colony continues to expand its lumber and mining companies with cheap labor picked up from surrounding natives. An organized government forms along with some small villages. The border expands inward 750 px.
 * Colony of North Antarctica: A small base is established on Antarctica's northernmost peninsula, inhabited for most of the year. The lighthouse is completed this year, and becomes the tallest lighthouse in recorded history thus far.
 * The Glorious Empire of Japan: Emperor Hidehito calls for the Chinese to accept the peace terms of the Treaty of Sanya. He continues to oversee a military revival which has been aided by experience in the war with China. More tanks are built to support the troops. The navy also expands as shipyards begin to build armored cruisers to defend Japanese interests. The navy stumbles upon the idea of fast well-gunned ships that use accuracy rather than sheer volume to destroy targets. Plans are drafted for several of these fast cruisers. The spread of bottom up economics continues and the emperor begins to subscribe to the notion. He implements policies to help the middle classes, helping the empire’s laborers achieve education.
 * The Imperial Colony of Borneo: The colony expands 24,000 sq km along the eastern coast of Borneo and improves transportation across the island.
 * The Imperial Colony of Sulawesi: The colony expands 24,000 sq km southward. Meanwhile, a rail line begins construction to link the north of the island to the south.
 * Australia: We begin to improve trade on the Indian Ocean. This boosts the economy. We honour our alliance with Bevatra. We begin to buy oil from them. We ask them whether we could buy the oil cheaper seeing as we are their ally. With the population divided; half being Catholic and half being Muslim, we begin to try to make them live together and not divide them up. This way they could make Australia more united. We begin building thousands of factories so we become the 'supermarket' of the world. We begin to build hundreds of houses to keep up with the demand of workers. We invite immigrants to come work in this nation's factories.
 * The Union of Borealia sends engineers and industral goods to help Australia reach their goals.
 * Oldenburg: Also offers Australia any help it requires. (Also, I think building thousands of factories is a bit too much, too soon.)
 * Commonwealth Duchy of Oldenburg: Duke Wilhelm II dies after a protracted illness. He is succeeded by his son, Wilhelm III. Many people purchase the OMW Volksauto. Economy improves.
 * Commonwealth Lordship of Neu Norderney: Military improves.
 * Brazil: Work begins on a Brazilian foguete, or rocket, for the purpose of defense in our various territories. The first tests produce unguided solid-fuel rockets that could be used as anti-aircraft weapons. The largest rocket successfully tested becomes known as the F-2, and is believed to be the world’s first long-range guided ballistic missile. Using a liquid-propellant rocket engine, these weapons can be used to attack cities and other targets from long range. By the end of 1943 the nation is expected to have an arsenal of 2000 such missiles. Creation of special facilities for manufacture begin, and the missiles are mass produced. Additionally facilities are built in specific areas to utilize the new weapon. The first bomb shelters are created in major cities. In addition to privately operated bomb shelters popular among the rich, public bomb shelters are created in major metropolitan areas. In Sao Sebastião a five year plan is approved to create a metro system underneath the city, stretching to all corners of the city and its surrounding area. Additionally a secret plan is approved that will create a second metro below the public use one, much deeper and well reinforced. The second metro will connect strategic areas, and be operated for military or emergency purposes. The Armadura-III tank is created with additional armor and armaments. In the Brazilian air force a jet-powered fighter aircraft, called the Andorinha, is created and put into use. Railroad lines are expanded to connect all major cities in towns in Brazil. Additionally a railroad from Porto Natal is constructed to connect to major cities in Brazilian Africa.

We invite immigrants to come work in this nation's factories.
 * Republic of China: After receiving no response, we continue to request a ceasefire with the Mongolians, who seem to have abruptly stopped their attack. We also request vassalisation from all European power interested to defend ourselves against Asian attackers. The Conservatives send a diplomat to India to convey the Chinese sorrows for the Empresses death. The diplomat also talks up the possibility of a Chinese-Indian alliance, seeing India as their one possible friend in Asia. With no Mongolian surrender, we offer India the chance to be cofounder of the Asian Defense Pact.
 * Commonwealth States (Bavaria): We continue to regulate the financial industry, adding more staff, divisions and leadership to our Office of Financial Crimes. Markus Wenderschell becomes the new head of the OFC and closely aligns himself with Vice-Governor Melanie Leverenz. Leverenz herself runs for Governor-General this year, and receives the support of Claiton Dietricher and party boss Hans Felipe Mazza. She wins by 53% against her Conservative opponent Mikael Uarisch. In other news, newly elected Leverenz dedicates her first year in office to modernizing the draft and conscription laws, allowing much more young men to safely explore the option of rejecting a draft without incurring punishment. At the same time, she and the Augsburg Diet work to create the Office of Military Volunteers, which is specially created to manage civilians in the military, encourage domestic support for the military and facilitate the entrance of more women and minorities into the armed forces. In other news, Bavarians are delighted when fellow Bavarian Erika von Greschaft is elected to be the new King of the Germans.
 * France experinces vast political upheaval with the rise of the French Glory party, a radical far left party which advocates the return of France to glory. The Party gains support immediately, mainly from working class and former soldiers. The Party leader, Claude Hugo, publishes a book, On Racial Warfare, which describes the superiority of the Frankish race, and inferiority and evil of the vile Bretons, who are seen as the mortal enemy of the Franks. Anti-Breton feeling is very high, and riots against Bretons becomes common. The government tries to crack down on the party. Economic revival begins. Eventually, the FGP merges with the current ruling party, and Claude Hugo becomes President. His first act is to desolve the commonwealth, and declare a new French Imperial Federation. He makes it clear that past wrongs will be righted.
 * Ruthenia: The Ruthenians continue to expand airship service.
 * Commonwealth Duchy of Oldenburg: Duke Wilhelm III congratulates the new Holy Roman Emperor on their election. In other news, the new, young duke's coronation takes place this year in Osnabruck cathedral. Following the lead of his Hamburger counterpart, the ceremony is broadcast live over radio, and many newspaper photographers and newsreel film teams are there to capture the ancient ceremony. Economy improves. In scientific news, a Franciscan priest (who is also a professor of physics at the University of Osnabruck) stumbles across the discovery made a few years ago in Neu Norderney: that spiral nebulae appear to be traveling away from the earth. He begins doing research into what this might mean.
 * Commonwealth Lordship of Neu Norderney: Economy improves.
 * Roman Empire: The Roman Empire continues to recover from the shock of the Great War, in which many good Romans died. The Empire also focuses on its internal security and stability after noticing the power of the revolt in Africa and remembering painful memories of revolts in Italy and Egypt. Economic and civic policy are seen as key to improving stability and cohesiveness in the Empire. With that said, the Empire does have several foreign policy successes to note as well, mainly the unification of the Tartary and the return of order in the steppes. Trade continues to go well and the military continues to have a major part of Roman society, and new weapons like tanks, planes, and better submarines now play a significant role in the way the Empire wages war. The financial crisis affects the Empire badly, and the economy suffers and many go without work. The current administration works to help mediate the crisis even though it knows its days are numbered. The civil war in the caliphate forces the Empire and its ally Assyria to be on guard. Research in new areas of science continues. Nuclear physics are explored in universities in the Empire, however no major breakthroughs or accomplishments have been recorded and governmental support is low.
 * Reme: Reme begins to build up its military and economy. Reme elects a new president and starts to build up its navy. Meanwhile, trade is improved on, with industrialization, mainly former Byzantine areas slowly being introduced to populous areas. Lumber, cash crops, and other goods become a major export of Reme, and starts getting Reme a jump-start into the European economy. There is also the creation of New navy ships, to help modernize the Reman navy. Coal mines are built, and starts churning out coal at a consistent rate. Coal mining plants are also started to be upgraded. Reme also starts very slowly changing its focus to industrial things, with a nationwide railroad being considered to be built. Industrialization of river areas continue, as well as the production of textiles to cheaper the price of Reman cotton. Meanwhile, a Socialist-based party starts to gain seats in parliament, with plans to make Reme a more self-sufficient state. People are getting anxious over the threat of Communism to Reme, and vote on the crackdown of Communist sympathizers and their families. The Reman government is pleased that Pearl River has voted to join the Empire, and promises that their rights and property will be maintained. The Reman military is improved a bit in an effort to hold up its part of the Fraternal Alliance. The economy suffers a great deal, and as a result the Socialists and outlawed Communists get a bit too eager in their expression that they have the correct answer, resulting in many demonstrations and some riots.
 * Protectorate of Wolof: Wolof begins to build up its military and economy. Reman food and supplies come in to help the formerly starving nation, as well as the Reman military to help sustain order. Some representation is given in the Reman Parliament, to give Wolof a minimal say in how Reme should be run. Meanwhile, plans to industrialize the coastal areas as well as plans for fortifications are presented, and are started being worked on.
 * Ban Republic of Croatia (Banska Republika Hrvatska): Sewerage systems similar to Ragusan ones are built in major towns of theBan Republic. With growing Ragusan influence, and the beginning of further colonization, the navy expands rapidly using much of the Ragusan expertise. Moreover, with the influx of new resources in form of lumber, labour and metals, the navy begins expanding at a fast rate. More and more ships capable of crossing the Atlantic with ease are built. The Sabor intends to restore the glorious naval culture of the Neretva peoples and plans to do so by expanding the navy. The kravata (tie) is more and more used as an accessory. Trade routes are strengthened and the salt mines around Tuzla are explored as well as the salt industry in Pag and Nin. Using irrigation from the Danube, Sava, Drava, Drina, Cetina, Una, Vrbaš, Kupa, Neretva and other rivers the fields in the kingdom are developed, used for crops such as wheat, rye and barley. With trade routes increasing and Croatia entering an era of peace and of stability, the development of new trade ships is issued. Stone mining is furthered as well as the timber industry. The need for these resources rises as urbanization carries on. Iron ores in Dugopolje, Zenice and at last the 'mud' ore in Vojvodina and Eastern Slavonia are to be exploited alongside the silver and copper ores more frequently and of better quality than the iron ores. The exploitation of iron ores in the Lika and Gorski kotar areas continues. The salt industry in Ston is funded by the government. The influx of resources from Dahomey aids the economy. However, the government makes sure that the gold arriving isn't immediately put on the market in order to control the inflation in the worth of gold. The silver mine in Srebrenica is mined. Kotor Saraka (Adelaide) continues to expand. Draganić continues his research. 
 * Isles of the Archvoivodeship (Otoci Nadvojvodstva): The infrastructure is built up.
 * Ban Republic of Carantania (Banska Republika Karantanija): Being Alpine Slavic nation, the leaders begin a programme to create a standardized Carantanian language that will reflect on both the Slavic and Alpine (Germanic) aspects of Carantania.
 * Sukadang Županija: Croatization. Expansion onto the other parts of Borneo.
 * Croatian Africa: Continues to expand.
 * White Croatia: Large-scale Croatization, numerous harsh measures are introduced to ensure White Croatia is Croatian.

1943

 * Commonwealth Kingdoms: Progress with the Lübeck Project continues, with testing facilities being built on the uninhabited South Auck Islands (OTL Auckland Islands), miles south of New Reguia, and hopefully far enough away from shipping lanes. Development officially begins later in the year, and the first secret tests are scheduled for early 1945. Meanwhile, Erika von Greschaft is crowned King of the Germans as Erika I. Among the attendees is Karl IV of Hamburg and the Chancellor of Germany. Germany issues a condemnation of France's invasion of Switzerland and the militarization of the border. A call is made for the United Diet to authorize a counter-militarization along the French border.
 * ​The Commonwealth States agree to a counter-militarization, and agree to send 200,000 troops to the western German border.


 * Borealia_Flag_2.png Union of Borealia: Both the economy and military improve across all the provinces of the Union. Oil produced from California, Alaska and foreign lands are imported to power plants throughout the nation, which in turn produce electrical energy for the entire continent. In order to save more energy, massive hydroelectric dams are constructed along the Navajo (OTL Colorado) and Amerigo (OTL Colombia) Rivers. The dingy industrial centers of major cities are done away with, and replaced with modern economic districts, filled with massive yet ornate skyscrapers based on the Neo-Gothic style. Even the capital building in New Vienna is renovated in this manner, with only Queen Frances Square remaining Baroque. Super manufacturing companies emerge from these cities and export their products worldwide. San Francisco and Mamterlliq continue to be the main centers of the gold and oil trade, as well as highly diverse communities bringing in many immigrants from East Asia. Large highways connect these cities together, bustling with transportation including automobiles, aircraft and electric trains. The cities are also filled with electrical lights based on fluorescent gas, as well as a thriving entertainment business such as movies and cartoons. The Romanesque party dies out and is replaced with the Gothic party, which for the time being stands as the leftist opponent of the Borealian school. Electrical machines for mass computation are developed, which take advantage of the smaller components created in recent years. Similar innovations are being implemented to create television. A practical nuclear generator is produced and used to power New Munich. The Borealian Air Force is established, with an aircraft carrier being constructed to take it out to sea. Research is being poured into the creation of rockets, with BARD performing experiments in the Andaman Islands. We continue to uphold the New Munich Declaration along with Algonquia, Reme, Mexaca, and Arcadia. The Pacific Protection Sphere, based around the Treaty of Midway, continues to promote peace in the Pacific and East Asia. A global trade network is established to promote Borealian companies in Arabia, Africa, Australia, and India. The World Trade Center in New Munich is built this year as a symbol of the world economy. The Pacific Protection Sphere is expanded into the Indo-Pacific Trade Alliance. We ask to open trade with The Republic, Ethiopia and Madagasgar (mod response, please).
 * Colony of Kinshasa: With the incorporated French colony continues to expand its lumber and mining companies with cheap labor picked up from surrounding natives an organized government forms along with some small villages. The border expands inward 750 px.
 * Colony of North Antarctica: A small base is established on Antarctica's northernmost peninsula, inhabited for most of the year. The lighthouse is completed this year, and becomes the tallest lighthouse in recorded history thus far.
 * Nobody denies trade. 
 * Korea: Korea continues to build up its military. Meanwhile, more Taoist and Buddhist temples are built. Taoism rises in popularity and gains more followers. Regular (read: not Imperial) Shinto gains a few more followers as well, mainly along the coastline in Southeastern Korea, particularly in Busan, Jejudo, Ulsan, and the coastal cities and coastal towns of Southern Gyeongsang Province. Mahayana Tao-Shintoism also continues to grow, and begins gaining followers from the areas where Shinto is growing, with some Shintoists switching to Mahayana Tao-Shintoism.

The Hyundai Motor Company continues to build more cars.
 * Ruthenia: The Ruthenians continue to expand airship service.
 * Commonwealth Duchy of Oldenburg: New tanks are developed for the army as a large number of cavalry units are converted to "armoured cavalry". Father Georg Meister, the Franciscan priest and physicist with the University of Osnabruck, determines the speed with which nebulae are traveling away from the Earth, calling it "Meister's constant" and concluding that the universe is expanding. He publishes his findings in the Papers of the University of Osnabruck and waits for the international recognition to come rolling in.
 * Commonwealth Lordship of Neu Norderney: The economy improves, and the government considers investing in another hydroelectric plant, because the first one has worked astoundingly well.
 * Lombardy: Our military is continuing to increase due to technology becoming better. Factories still make weapons and vehicles for our military but they are not the mostly made items. With the increase of factories in the nation, more jobs are being created. The employment rate has continued to increase in the nation. Agriculture is the best industry in the nation.

 * Australia: We begin to improve trade on the Indian Ocean. This boosts the economy. We honour our alliance with Bevatra. We begin to buy oil from them. With the population divided; half being Catholic and half being Muslim, we begin to try to make them live together and not divide them up. This way they could make Australia more united. We begin building hundreds of factories so we become the 'supermarket' of the world. We begin to build hundreds of houses to keep up with the demand of workers. We invite immigrants to come work in this nation's factories. We claim a part of Antarctica that is still unclaimed.
 * Andea: Andea's economy finally shows signs of recovering as the new government comes in and begins to implement new systems such as Price Administration. The debate about the constitutionality of this is limited, as the focus remains on economic growth. The new policies focus on "Trickle Up" or Demand Side economics. The military is set at 500,000 active men and 500,000 reserve men, new submachine guns and even a prototype assault rifle is added to the Andean military. The navy remains large with several aircraft carriers. Further developments into this type of naval vessel continue, with more being added to the military. Population stands at 112 million. An Andean researcher picks up on the research of the Borelian scientist who discovered atomic physics.
 * Union of Sudafrica: Continues to make leaps and bounds. The nation is officially made into a commonwealth of Andea, and is making strives toward independence. The nation requests to deepen ties with Brazil's South African Colonies.
 * Spain  continues to prosper as a center of the arts and learning despite economic hardship. The construction of new buildings, roads and other infrastructure continues. but government funded projects end as the government begins using money in other places in an effort to save the falling economy. Spanish businesses expand across Spanish territories and into other nations. The buildings rise higher and the trains run faster, especially in the major cities such as Zaragoza, Barcelona and Madrid. Cars and planes and all sorts of cool modern stuff. Spain continues to lay claim to Antarctica. The construction of ships and weaponry continues. Spain builds submarines. Boats and guns and cars. Spain increases the number of battle ready ships in the Royal Armada, although at a much slower rate. More automatic weaponry stuff. The Spanish colony of West Africa expands 16,000 sq km west. Croats in Dahomey retain their rights. Dahomey expands 8000 sq km into the interior of Africa. British West Africa is incorporated into the Spanish colonial domains in Africa. Spain continues to develop better tanks. Planes improve. Spain continues to restore the Vega Line because of French militarization. Science and stuff. Woohoo technology! Haroldo Ybarra continues the practices of the Cardona government. Haroldo Ybarra is ousted from the leadership in an election, and Marcel San Nicolas of the Nationalist Party succeeds him.

 * Spain  continues to prosper as a center of the arts and learning despite economic hardship. The construction of new buildings, roads and other infrastructure continues. but government funded projects end as the government begins using money in other places in an effort to save the falling economy. Spanish businesses expand across Spanish territories and into other nations. The buildings rise higher and the trains run faster, especially in the major cities such as Zaragoza, Barcelona and Madrid. Cars and planes and all sorts of cool modern stuff. Spain continues to lay claim to Antarctica. The construction of ships and weaponry continues. Spain builds submarines. Boats and guns and cars. Spain increases the number of battle ready ships in the Royal Armada, although at a much slower rate. More automatic weaponry stuff. The Spanish colony of West Africa expands 16,000 sq km west. Croats in Dahomey retain their rights. Dahomey expands 8000 sq km into the interior of Africa. British West Africa is incorporated into the Spanish colonial domains in Africa. Spain continues to develop better tanks. Planes improve. Spain continues to restore the Vega Line because of French militarization. Science and stuff. Woohoo technology!

 * Algeria  continues to recover from the depression. Meanwhile, Algeria continues to manage its internal affairs.


 * Singapore   also continues to develop naval technology to protect its economic interests with the aid of Spain.
 * The Moroccan Principality expands its military, adopting Spanish styles. Morocco's economy also returns to its status before the war and a peacetime sense is established.
 * France deploys 400,000 troops to the German border, and demands the return of Alsace-Lorraine. Massive military and economic growth and progression continue, and nationalist feeling is very high. The disbanding of Occitan, Norman and Burgand regions begins, and France decides that having to pay the Lombards 20 million is a price that should not have been named. Demands for the return of all the land lost by France continues, with many wanting to get the Basque and Catatonic regions back. 10,000 French troops move into the areas that are most likely to rebel.
 * Roman Empire: The Roman Empire continues to recover from the shock of the Great War, in which many good Romans died. The Empire also focuses on its internal security and stability after noticing the power of the revolt in Africa and remembering painful memories of revolts in Italy and Egypt. Economic and civic policy are seen as key to improving stability and cohesiveness in the Empire. With that said, the Empire does have several foreign policy successes to note as well, mainly the unification of the Tartary and the return of order in the steppes. Trade continues to go well and the military continues to have a major part of Roman society, and new weapons like tanks, planes, and better submarines now play a significant role in the way the Empire wages war. The financial crisis affects the Empire badly, and the economy suffers and many go without work. The current administration works to help mediate the crisis even though it knows its days are numbered. The civil war in the caliphate forces the Empire and its ally Assyria to be on guard. Research in new areas of science continues. Nuclear physics are explored in universities in the Empire, however no major breakthroughs or accomplishments have been recorded and governmental support is low.
 * Reme: Reme begins to build up its military and economy. Reme elects a new president and starts to build up its navy. Meanwhile, trade is improved on, with industrialization, mainly former Byzantine areas slowly being introduced to populous areas. Lumber, cash crops, and other goods become a major export of Reme, and starts getting Reme a jump-start into the European economy. There is also the creation of New navy ships, to help modernize the Reman navy. Coal mines are built, and starts churning out coal at a consistent rate. Coal mining plants are also started to be upgraded. Reme also starts very slowly changing its focus to industrial things, with a nationwide railroad being considered to be built. Industrialization of river areas continue, as well as the production of textiles to cheaper the price of Reman cotton. Meanwhile, a Socialist-based party starts to gain seats in parliament, with plans to make Reme a more self-sufficient state. People are getting anxious over the threat of Communism to Reme, and vote on the crackdown of Communist sympathizers and their families. The Reman government is pleased that Pearl River has voted to join the Empire, and promises that their rights and property will be maintained. The Reman military is improved a bit in an effort to hold up its part of the Fraternal Alliance. The economy suffers a great deal, and as a result the Socialists and outlawed Communists get a bit too eager in their expression that they have the correct answer, resulting in many demonstrations and some riots.
 * Protectorate of Wolof: Wolof begins to build up its military and economy. Reman food and supplies come in to help the formerly starving nation, as well as the Reman military to help sustain order. Some representation is given in the Reman Parliament, to give Wolof a minimal say in how Reme should be run. Meanwhile, plans to industrialize the coastal areas as well as plans for fortifications are presented, and are started being worked on.
 * Ban Republic of Croatia (Banska Republika Hrvatska): Sewerage systems similar to Ragusan ones are built in major towns of theBan Republic. With growing Ragusan influence, and the beginning of further colonization, the navy expands rapidly using much of the Ragusan expertise. Moreover, with the influx of new resources in form of lumber, labour and metals, the navy begins expanding at a fast rate. More and more ships capable of crossing the Atlantic with ease are built. The Sabor intends to restore the glorious naval culture of the Neretva peoples and plans to do so by expanding the navy. The kravata (tie) is more and more used as an accessory. Trade routes are strengthened and the salt mines around Tuzla are explored as well as the salt industry in Pag and Nin. Using irrigation from the Danube, Sava, Drava, Drina, Cetina, Una, Vrbaš, Kupa, Neretva and other rivers the fields in the kingdom are developed, used for crops such as wheat, rye and barley. With trade routes increasing and Croatia entering an era of peace and of stability, the development of new trade ships is issued. Stone mining is furthered as well as the timber industry. The need for these resources rises as urbanization carries on. Iron ores in Dugopolje, Zenice and at last the 'mud' ore in Vojvodina and Eastern Slavonia are to be exploited alongside the silver and copper ores more frequently and of better quality than the iron ores. The exploitation of iron ores in the Lika and Gorski kotar areas continues. The salt industry in Ston is funded by the government. The influx of resources from Dahomey aids the economy. However, the government makes sure that the gold arriving isn't immediately put on the market in order to control the inflation in the worth of gold. The silver mine in Srebrenica is mined. Kotor Saraka (Adelaide) continues to expand. Draganić continues his research. 
 * Isles of the Archvoivodeship (Otoci Nadvojvodstva): The infrastructure is built up.
 * Ban Republic of Carantania (Banska Republika Karantanija): Being an Alpine Slavic nation, the leaders begin a programme to create a standardized Carantanian language that will reflect on both the Slavic and Alpine (Germanic) aspects of Carantania.
 * Sukadang Županija: Croatization. Expansion onto the other parts of Borneo.
 * Croatian Africa: Continues to expand.
 * White Croatia: Large-scale Croatization, numerous harsh measures are introduced to ensure White Croatia is Croatian.
 * Republic of China: We continue to request a ceasefire with Mongolian forces, with Mongolian forces - weirdly - pulling out of China. We also remind India of our alliance request, fearing Japanese objection to us joining the Tripartite Pact. We attempt to revitalise our economy, with stagnation and the Treaty of Sanya worsening it. We offer an alliance with France, seeing them as a rising power. Meanwhile, we withdraw our vassalisation request from the Roman Empire.

1944

 * Commonwealth Kingdoms: the government approves the deployment of 200,000 troops to the French border. Emperor Erika sends an official demand for France to stand down its forces. Warships begin patrolling the English Channel and the bay of biscay.


 * Indian Empire: Emperor Saddam Hussein was proclaimed the Empress of India in 1944, starting a new era. The Indian population rose to about 741,772,000, and the flocking of the people to coastal cities continued, with a mass increase of population in Kolkata, Mahmudpur, Karachi, Mumbai, Surat and various other minor cities and townships throughout the state. The Indian army, equipped with modern armaments stood at 720,000 troops with an additional 500,000 reserves whilst the Imperial Guard was composed of 20,000 troops and the armament industry thrived on local and national level, with armaments rarely imported from foreign nations with Andea being the only exception case. The Indian navy experimented on aircraft carriers and had started production of larger classes of dreadnoughts ships, churning out first rate battleships for various fleets, and more third rates, and fourth rates with the occasional second rate to augment the smaller patrol fleets with 40% of the national navy harboured at the Andaman and Kolkata ports. In agriculture was the largest economic focus of India, exporting various crops to foreign nations with the international jute and cotton textile production largely under Indian control. Along the same time, the Indian Renaissance were in full swing, with movements such as the Young India movement having aided in national modernisation and a massive rise in literacy and education, with major developments in Chemistry, Physics, Biology, etc. Moreover, promotion of industrialisation and capitalism allowed the Imperial authorities to construct a Trans-National Railway, connecting the entire Empire as well as introduction of many other commodities such as telephones, bulbs, electricity. Exception progress in regards to radio waves had already allowed India to develop the Shahi antenna and the radio. The Indian espionage authorities had cooperated with scientists in this regard, and India had soon constructed thousands of numbers stations throughout its Empire, developing the best espionage network in Asia, rivalling that of the Roman Empire. The state also was keen to invest in its defense sector, generally to keep India protected from any foreign invasion. As such, the newly commissioned Agni V Tank was declared fit for service, and delivered to hundreds of brigades throughout India. Armament companies in India had also developed the Mahmud I and the Timurid III Tanks, which were to be tested by the military for their durability. Although not of considerable importance internationally, the Indian automobile industry was quite successful nationally and helped improve the transport conditions in the state. By 1940, 100% of the Upper Class, 59% of the Middle Class and 14% of the Lower Class possessed vehicles. These automobile companies also contributed to the state military, by offering various vehicles to be used for military transport. Meanwhile, the Indian authorities took a keen interest in developing ballistic missiles after having observed rocket tests in the Andaman Islands. Hence, the state developed a commission to fund research into and the development of missiles.  In response to the introduction of the Borealian navy to the Indian Ocean, the Empire introduces its own navy to the Pacific Ocean. Moreover, all trade with Borealia is boycotted and the Borealians are expelled from the Andaman islands. 
 * Retconned at request of Rimp
 * Khedivate of Aceh Darrusalam: The Capital of Aceh was Banda and the population was 19.5 million. The Aceh military was modernised, standing at roughly 30,000 with 10% of the national navy harboured at Aceh ports. In the economic sector, rice played the role as a major food crop to be exported. However, other important crops such as tea, sugar cane, mango and tobacco maintained a major presence in Aceh's exports as well. About the same time, the Aceh fishery, oil and mining industries were of significant importance as well. Major oil and gas reserves are discovered by Spanish and Indian experts in Aceh, who collaborate on the project as per the Treaty of Hague. With the arrival of the Juan Standardo Oilo Company, extraction of the oil begins. Indian geological experts discover huge gas deposits in Aceh, and immediately begin extraction
 * Indian Overseas Territories: Naval bases continue to be built to enforce claims on several islands such as Mauritius, Seychelles, Tromelin and Reunion. The Indian Navy attempted to enforce complete control over the Indian Ocean, aggressively patrolling the sea to combat Somalian pirates.
 * Korea: Korea continues to build up its military. Meanwhile, more Taoist and Buddhist temples are built. Taoism rises in popularity and gains more followers. Regular (read: not Imperial) Shinto gains a few more followers as well, mainly along the coastline in Southeastern Korea, particularly in Busan, Jejudo, Ulsan, and the coastal cities and coastal towns of Southern Gyeongsang Province. Mahayana Tao-Shintoism also continues to grow, and begins gaining followers from the areas where Shinto is growing, with some Shintoists switching to Mahayana Tao-Shintoism. The military in the colony of Haejagang (해자강) continues to be on high alert and continues to heavily patrol the Korean settlements. Meanwhile, industrialisation and modernisation continue in Korea (similar to OTL Japan's Meiji Restoration). Monarch Hyomyeong continues investing in technology and science. The Hyundai Motor Company continues to build more cars.
 * Ruthenia: The Ruthenians continue to expand airship service and infastructure throughout Europe and Asia.
 * Borealia_Flag_2.png Union of Borealia: Both the economy and military improve across all the provinces of the Union. Oil produced from California, Alaska and foreign lands are imported to power plants throughout the nation, which in turn produce electrical energy for the entire continent. In order to save more energy, massive hydroelectric dams are constructed along the Navajo (OTL Colorado) and Amerigo (OTL Colombia) Rivers. The dingy industrial centers of major cities are done away with, and replaced with modern economic districts, filled with massive yet ornate skyscrapers based on the Neo-Gothic style. Even the capital building in New Vienna is renovated in this manner, with only Queen Frances Square remaining Baroque. Super manufacturing companies emerge from these cities and export their products worldwide. San Francisco and Mamterlliq continue to be the main centers of the gold and oil trade, as well as highly diverse communities bringing in many immigrants from East Asia. Large highways connect these cities together, bustling with transportation including automobiles, aircraft and electric trains. The cities are also filled with electrical lights based on fluorescent gas, as well as a thriving entertainment business such as movies and cartoons. The Romanesque party dies out and is replaced by the Gothic party, which for the time being stands as the leftist opponent of the Borealian school. Electrical machines for mass computation are developed, which take advantage of the smaller components created in recent years. Similar innovations are being implemented to create television. A practical nuclear generator is produced and used to power New Munich. The Borealian Air Force is established, with an aircraft carrier being constructed to take it out to sea. Research is being poured into the creation of rockets, with BARD performing experiments in the Andaman Islands. We continue to uphold the New Munich Declaration along with Algonquia, Reme, Mexaca, and Arcadia. The Pacific Protection Sphere, based around the Treaty of Midway, continues to promote peace in the Pacific and East Asia. A global trade network is established to promote Borealian companies in Arabia, Africa, Australia, and India. The World Trade Center in New Munich is built this year as a symbol of the world economy. The Indo-Pacific Trade Alliance greatly stengthens with the East African Trade Agreements, and thereby bringing in more of the Borealian navy into the Indian Ocean.
 * Colony of Kinshasa: With the incorporated French colony continuing to expand its lumber and mining companies with cheap labor picked up from surrounding natives an organized government forms along with some small villages. The border expands inward 750 px.
 * Colony of North Antarctica: A small base is established on Antarctica's northernmost peninsula, inhabited for most of the year. The lighthouse is completed this year, and becomes the tallest lighthouse in recorded history thus far.
 * Australia: We begin to improve trade on the Indian Ocean. This boosts the economy. We honour our alliance with Bevatra. We begin to buy oil from them. With the population divided; half being Catholic and half being Muslim, we begin to try to make them live together and not divide them up. This way they could make Australia more united. We begin building hundreds of factories so we become the 'supermarket' of the world. We begin to build hundreds of houses to keep up with the demand of workers. We invite immigrants to come work in this nation's factories.
 * The Grand Colony of Australian Antarctica: We build our first two new settlements. The Sydney and Brisbane (whatever their names are in this ATL). We invite Australian and Boreala scientists to come work in the Sydney and Brisbane station camps.
 * Spain  continues to prosper as a center of the arts and learning despite economic hardship. The construction of new buildings, roads and other infrastructure continues. but government funded projects end as the government begins using money in other places in an effort to save the falling economy. Spanish businesses expand across Spanish territories and into other nations. The buildings rise higher and the trains run faster, especially in the major cities such as Zaragoza, Barcelona and Madrid. Cars and planes and all sorts of cool modern stuff. Spain continues to lay claim to Antarctica. The construction of ships and weaponry continues. Spain builds submarines. Boats and guns and cars. Spain increases the number of battle ready ships in the Royal Armada, although at a much slower rate. More automatic weaponry stuff. Spain extracts oil in West Africa and sells it to people. The Spanish colony of West Africa expands 16,000 sq km west. Croats in Dahomey retain their rights. Dahomey expands 16000 sq km into the interior of Africa. British West Africa is incorporated into the Spanish colonial domains in Africa. Spain continues to develop better tanks. Planes improve. Spain continues to restore the Vega Line because of French militarization. Science and stuff. Woohoo technology! A group of Spanish scientists continue to explore the potential of nuclear and atomic physics. A separate group of government scientists begin to examine the military potential of this science. Other Spanish scientists work on jet powered aircraft. Spain begins to develop rocket technology and Spanish engineers create a rocket. Spain releases the Malay Peninsula and it merges with Singapore to form the Malay Federation. The remainder of the East Indies will be released as a nation in the near future. However, officials in the East Indies begin to call for the unification of the island of Sumatra. Spanish officials begin working with representatives of Algeria and Malaya to potential create a united community of Spanish territories worldwide. #NoMoreWikiaChanges


 * Algeria  continues to manage its internal affairs. The deserts of Algeria begin to be used by the Spanish government as a testing ground for new technologies. Algeria begins talks with Spanish and Malayan officials to discuss the formation of a Spanish community. This idea is well received by Algerians due to common Spanish-Algerian cross-immigration and the relatively similar position already in place.
 * The Malay Federation is officially formed this year, combining the territories of Singapore and the Malay Peninsula. The Singaporean government remains in place until federal elections can be held the next year. Malaya joins the talks about the Spanish community.
 * The  Moroccan Principality  expands its military, adopting Spanish styles and technology. Morocco's economy expands due to increased commercial affairs with Spain and other associated territories. Morocco is not involved in the talks of forming a Spanish community due to the fact that it has only recently joined the Spanish sphere and retains relative autonomy and nationalist sentiment.
 * Republic of China: We continue to recover from our years of war, with our population slowly becoming happier. In the 1944 Chinese General Election, the Chinese Conservatives rise to 61% support, compared to 48% last election. As a result of this, the Chinese Conservatives stay in power with a majority. The Nationalists have crashed to a mere 4% support, a disaster for them, so the Chinese Nationalists officially decide to disband. We continue to request a Chinese-Indian Alliance.

 * France: In response to Germany sending troops to the border, demands a plebiscite be held to determine the future of Alscae-Lorraine. Claude Hugo dies and a new French Chancellor is chosen, who withdraws some, but not all, of the anti-Breton policies. Military and economic expansion continues with aircraft carriers being researched.
 * Germany: Will hold a plebiscite ONLY if French forces back away from the border (once they do, Germany will demilitarize its side of the border as well). We want to inform France that citizens in the region may vote any way they please, and the French government would do well to accept that reality, even if the vote isn't in the latter's favor.
 * France: Agrees to withdraw its troops from the border. Now, on to the plebiscite!

 * Lombardy: Our military is continuing to increase due to technology becoming better. Factories still make weapons and vehicles for our military but they are not the mostly made items. With the increase of factories in the nation, more jobs are being created. The employment rate has continued to increase in the nation. Agriculture is the best industry in the nation. The railway industry is continuing to work on improving the tracks. Doctors are now continuing to use new technology to make people better. Cars are one of the only ways to get around these days besides using the train. Trade goes well with the Roman Empire. The navy continues to build ships for trade and for future tensions. We continue to build many buildings like hospitals, colleges and banks. Antonio marries his girlfriend Sabrina.
 * United Nordic Republics
 * ​Republic of Denmark: Denmark capitalizes on the fall of Pskov. With money flowing into the Kattegat and out of Pskovian wallets, there is one undoubted ruler of the Baltic Seas now. Former Communists flee to Jutland since Denmark is a Socialist state. Prime Minister Albert Wagner celebrates the end of the Great War, condemning Communism as a perversion of state-sponsored welfare. He worries that the actions of France have harmed Socialist movements in Europe, setting them back decades. In the meantime, a new destroyer is added to the Danish navy. There are over 120 ships in total flying Danish colors. The Nordic Republican Air Force is created this year. Before this year, the thirty planes at the UNR's disposal actually fell under the jurisdiction of the navy.
 * Republic of Sweden: Sweden also sees profit in the fall of Pskov. With money flowing into the Kattegat and out of Pskovian wallets, there is one undoubted ruler of the Baltic Seas now. Telephone lines are built in Sweden as electricity is brought to the northern cities and towns of Sweden. The Republic of Sweden commissions two destroyers into the Swedish fleet. There are now over 200 ships flying Swedish colors. Sweden offers to westernize the Caliphate in exchange for oil.
 * Republic of Norway: Norway's navy guards the North Sea as it protects its interests from pirates and would-be assailants in the North Atlantic. The economy of Norway improves this year as trade floods into the nation, especially the city of Oslo, which rivals even Copenhagen as the trading capital of the Baltic. In the meantime, a frigate is added to the Norwegian naval assets.  A plane is also built this year. An air force base is established outside Oslo.
 * Republic of Finland: The Republic of Finland trades heavily with Livonia this year while Helsinki, the easternmost trade capital of the Baltics, sees renovation. An air force base is established near Helsinki while three planes are built this year for the Finnish Air Force. In the meantime, the Finnish navy sees the addition of another frigate while a handful of older ships are retired this year. Several covered cruisers, which saw action in WWI, are scrapped this year and used for parts for newer ships.
 * Commonwealth of Iceland: Iceland proposes the Helluland Proclamation, which would make Helluland an independent nation, albeit allied with the United Nordic Republics and their interests. Proponents of the Proclamation believe that the time for Helluland's independence has long since passed. Opponents believe that such an act would only encourage warmongering from Algonquia. The Helluland Proclamation does not pass. An air force base in Rejkyjavik is established this year. Iceland requests to purchase the German strip of territory in Greenland.
