Principia Moderni IV (Map Game)

The Ming Dynasty still rules over the vast lands of China. On the other side of the world, the Hundred Years War continues between England and France. Europe is still stuck in the old ways of feudalism and chivalry while the notions of a New World are considered figments of imagination.

We welcome you to the long-awaited fourth expansion of that immortal series. Welcome to Principia Moderni IV! Starting in 1400 AD, this is the dawn of the modern world and the tail end of the Middle Ages. The Renaissance is just kicking off in Europe, while the nations in the western side of the continent are locked in the last gasp of the Hundred Years War. The Muslim world is still reeling from the invasions of Turks and Mongols, with the Caliphate resting in the collapsing Mamluk Egypt and the Ottomans on the rise in Anatolia. Make it count.

The first game was the most successful on the wiki, leading all the way to the modern day with mostly plausible posts and little controversy. The second game reached almost to the modern day, but failed due to a plethora of ASB events and moderator bias. The third game was much more worthy of the first, almost running into implausibility but climbing back into a shining glory by the end. Riding on the latest reforms of map games since the end of PMIII, this is the most logical next step in that evolution. Remember,  above all other rules, — have fun.

Moderator Strikes
These are strikes for moderators and how they moderate. The same three strikes rules apply. If a moderator is banned from moderating, however, they can still play as their nation. Mod strikes can be delivered in one of three ways: Moderators can be given strikes for the following reasons:
 * 1) If a sufficient number of players (more than half of all players voting) vote to give a moderator a strike.
 * 2) If I, Scraw, give them a strike.
 * 3) If a majority of all mods (i.e., more than half of the total number of mods, excluding that moderator) vote to give a moderator a strike.
 * 1) Exhibiting bias that would benefit the nation they are playing.
 * 2) Exhibiting bias that would negatively affect a player they have a personal dispute with.
 * 3) Making a ruling that contradicts a proven fact from OTL or an established fact from earlier in the game.
 * 4) Overruling a decision of a majority of moderators.



1820
''' Not many people agree with Adam Lee because the British have generally been good to them and they don't really like natives. #racism. '''

''' Napoleon and his armies are defeated in one last great battle in southern Germany. With the coalition forces closing in on all sides and his numbers depleted, he sees no way out and decides to abdicate after restoring the League Council and naming his brother Karl as Regent. The peace negotiations begin under Karl and the other brothers. '''

''' In Egypt, many people begin calling for Fawzia to abdicate and great general Muhammad Ali to seize control. '''
 * Ethiopian Empire: Dawit offers the olive branch to Egypt and says if accepted we will keep all the land south of Atbara and take no more. Even more so if accepted we will help restore order and get the economy running again. After great results with the war Yonas Abel is promoted even further to commander of the Royal Guard. Positions are entrenched on both sides of the Nile until a peace offer can be made. Dawitt continues to expand the Red Sea Fleet and the postal system. The roads and bridges in Sudan are repaired. Schools are set up in Sudan to teach the populace how to read and write. The first steam engine is produced in Adulis and practical uses for it are researched to see its best ability.
 * France: King Louis, age 18 and now having a bigger catalogue and knowledge of politics, offers asylum for Napoleon inside of France, and offers the Coalition members a place to sort out the treaty, that place being Paris. Coal mines begin appearing rapidly around France as new locations of coal deposits are found around the southeastern region. Factories begin to appear alongside the Seine river in Paris. After the rumors are confirmed of there being riches in the Congolese state of Zayiyr, King Louis sends his brother Pierre down to Zayiyr where the 20,000 troops are stationed to work out a possible occupation and colonial vassalization of the state, holding meetings with the Sultan/King. These meetings include the trading of technological weaponry and devices in exchange [for the occupation and colonial vassalization] (Scraw). If the colonial vassalization is allowed, Pierre will come back to France and tell the King of it. After that, an expedition will begin. If it isn't allowed, the 20,000 troops will then overthrow the state, execute the Sultan, Pierre will take hold as King, and mass enslavement of the Congolese people to begin mining the riches will take place.
 * Zayiyr says come at me, bro. -s
 * Brésil: With the final gardens being put in to the Imperial Mall, Grand Deputy David declares the Saint-Denis project complete, and throws a parade for the Tridecennial Anniversary of the nation. As the last effects of the Panic of 1811 leave the nation, David removes the temporarily edicts put in place during the recession. This means the federal government will fully administer roads and transportation again, and tariffs go back to normal. With normalization of tariffs, the Grand Assembly reforms their system with the Tariff Act of 1820. The act mostly increases tariffs across the board to cause a boost in Brésilian industry. Other effects of the act is that it makes a desired (or no) tariff rate for certain countries, a higher normal rate for others, and it de facto removes the unenforced embargo on French goods from the early days of independence. With the Napoleonic War ending, Ambassador Cosme Medici of the United Kingdom and Ambassador Chambrun of Burgundy offer to their respective nations that the new Saint-Denis capital (a truly neutral city) could be where negotiations take place for the treaty. Although less prestigeous than Paris, Saint-Denis (OTL: Recife) is one of the best cities in the new world, and the nation has been truly neutral to both parties during the war. The army receives normal funding again. With new revenues from tariffs, David decides to subsidize Brésilian industry and further boost the domestic industry and economy. Colonization continues. David calls for the 1820 census and it is recorded that population has reached 10,008,613 . Alexandre sends a request to the English to marry his son, Alexandre to an heir of the King (English request). Colonization continues. David calls for the 1820 census and it is recorded that population has reached 6,839,717 (approved by zcraw).
 * I highly doubt that. I realize this isn't OTL Brézil so I'll give a little leeway but the OTL turn of the century population was 3.4 million. if I give you an extra million for being from a bigger colonial power, and then another 600,000 from growth since Brézil is a pre-industrial hell-hole of a jungle and mountains right now. Your population is barely half of that. -Feud
 * I Highly disagree with that. -Nick
 * Belkan Federation: The end of the war sees great fanfare and the Battle known as the Battle of Munich (being the closest city to the battlefield) is lauded as the dawn of a new peace in Europe. The Coalition stands victorious. However, the Belkans have spent their blood, gold and practically their entire nation into a war that has fundamentally changed the nation inside and out and the amount of intelligence and technical expertise put into fighting this war has left the Belkan state somewhat longing for money, but also on a technological forefront. The necessity of ease of supply transport has created some of the first railways in Europe and a conjunctionary development of a primitive steam locomotive has begun to revolutionize transport across the country and industry has taken off as war necessity had left many factories geared towards war making now useless except for the now open markets of Germany, and the ease of construction and manufacture of so many consumer goods. This leaves many of these factories beginning to be developed under a new umbrella, they push towards textiles, concrete, glass, steel is also more effectively produced and the economy while devoid currently of government intervention begins to flourish as private businessmen start to buy these properties off the Belkan government who had appropriated them or built them specifically for the war effort. This does a great deal towards financing the Belkan debt and many of the soldiers returning home are given waivers for universities and guaranteed good wages for these new industrial jobs. The need to take care of its victorious soldiers is apparent to the Vozdh and his government and mandatory workers rights are implemented for these veterans before its realized that the rights would be better if extended to all workers. The exploitative practices were wholly noticed under the war time and the Vozdh declares, will not be tolerated during peace. This disgruntles many of the private owners but the Belkan court system upholds the governments decision and orders military force be employed to guarantee these rights. Many wartime emergency powers granted to the Vozdh are retracted, and Vozdh Tito agrees marking one of the first times in European history a man granted near ultimate power turned down or declined to keep it, knowing he could have declared himself emperor. Belka offers peace to the Egyptians ready to discuss terms of support, surrender, and stability to the Egyptians.
 * Papal States: Rome's many churches ring their bells to celebrate the final defeat of the tyrant Napoleon and Pope Michael II celebrates a thanksgiving Mass (as well as a smaller Divine Liturgy, he is an Easterner after all). The Parlamento approves a plan to rebuild the regions which were devastated by the conflict. The Pope's ally and homeland Belka is roundly praised for its role in the defeat of the menace. With the war at an end, the Congregation for Missions is able to reopen some lines of communication which had previously been clocked, or deemed too dangerous, due to the war
 * Mehican Empire: Our Administrators hold a Census of the population of Mehico where Panama is counted but not as Mehico . The Mehican population is 11,681,789 and the Panamanian population is counted to be 3,587,891. Our administrators do note that there may be some inaccuracy up to 2% of the total population. This census also tried to categories all people in each Gouvernate with the results being Maiam: 3% Europeans, 47% mixed Aztec-European, 21% Aztec. Guatemala: 23% Europeans, 34% mixed Aztec-European, 43% Aztec. Tejas: 34% Europeans, 8% mixed Dene-European,,17% mixed Aztec-European, 27% Aztec, 14% Dene. California: 12% Europeans, 27% mixed Dene-Europeans, 47% Dene, 14% Aztec-Dene. Panama: 37% Europeans, 21% Aztecs, 10% mixed Aztec-European, 32 % Panamanian Native. These results are based upon the population so if some have not been counted then this is reflected in the percentage. Some historians working for the Emperor found that the royal family still holds some minor lands and farms in the Papal States. These lands are quite poor but they are still some lands of the royal family directly in Europe. Our Emperor even speaks some Italian but Due to the first of his ancestors in Mzerka Learning Portuguese and Dene his skills in the language has been small.
 * Mexican pop is not 11 million+ its at best 6.7-7.2 mil. -Feud
 * Cologne: With many Kolsch volunteers having continued to run the original Rhineland League institutions over the years, the fall of Napoleon comes as a breath of fresh air for the people of Cologne within the Rhineland League, or what has now come to be known as Germany. Archbishop Garrick and a small envoy go to Paris to join the discussions with Karl Bonaparte and the others – as the spiritual leader of Germany, he believes that he may be able to act in the interests of the good Catholics of a country that has been torn apart by a dictator. There have been enemy soldiers deep within German borders, doing all manner of unholy things, and it must come to an end. Furthermore, Germany has not had a chance to grow economically as well as it could have, in amongst all the war. Garrick knows that Germany has a vast plethora of resources, not just in Cologne itself, which could be used to eventually restore the Germans to their old glory. However, more pressingly – with Germany all but unified as a result of Napoleon’s rule, the Archbishop is concerned about the religious freedom of those in Cologne and Essen and emphasises that, as part of the peace process, the people of Cologne should be allowed to retain their independence to protect the religious heart of Germany from being affected by any future dictators. During the rule of this dictator, the influence of Cologne all but disappeared, putting a halt to many good projects for the education and welfare of German peoples. For the betterment of all German peoples, this should never happen again.
 * Essen: Abbess Yslana de Beauharnais flew mostly under the radar during the Napoleon years, protecting her people and coordinating the Adelphinian Canonesses in Tondo and New Germany. However, whilst most people celebrated Napoleon’s downfall with many festivities, Yslana is strangely quiet about her own celebrations. She instead chooses to focus on promulgating education again amongst the new generation, specifically amongst those who have only lived through the Napoleon years thus far. Those young people are taught the important aspects of what life was like prior to Napoleon, in order to draw important lessons for their futures. The mines in Essen continue to run, but pick up the pace in the aftermath of the war. Yslana also deals with a backlog of people in the hospital systems throughout Essen, where people had gone to as a safe haven when their homes in Germany had been destroyed. It will be a few years yet before the hospitals are back to normal.

''' In Brézil and Argentine a large wave of immigration occurs swelling populations and effectively solidifying Argentine control over much of its Patagonian claims. '''

''' The peace in Europe has come at a cost with the Congress of Paris underway, five great powers stand dominant over Europe. However, most of them are in a cautious postwar boom specifically Burgundy, Belka and Britain, as industrialization effectively brings most of the former soldiers into the work force putting women back in the household. Populations booms also take effect as many of these men begin families. '''

''' The Failure of the German unification movement has had profound impact across Europe with many defeated Austrians and Rhinelanders returning home maimed and many not returning at all. Karl Bonaparte is ousted by the League Council who decide to return to the pre-Lothairian system and  '''

''' While the European war has ended, the war in the Middle East continues with Arabia fighting both Belka and Britain. '''

''' Napoleon is exiled and imprisoned on the Isle of Man per the decision of the Congress. It is one of the few things the bickering delegates can agree on. '''

''' Meanwhile in Egypt, the military elements move to depose Queen Fawzia. She is replaced by great general Muhammad Ali as Prince Regent. Egypt provides her passage to the Isle of Man where she joins her husband in exile. Prince Napoleon, who escaped coalition capture and came to Egypt, is marked for death by the military council but Muhammad Ali lets him escape due to his personal affinity for the boy. '''
 * Argentine: As massive migration from Europe picks up, the military which is presently in charge of the revolutionary state of Argentine begins offering land grants to new arrivals in the hopes of quickly cultivating the claimed lands in the Patagonia, the Pampas region and farther north in the still sparsely populated Chaku plains. The terms for the grant are either in the form of installment payments of a small amount, the establishment of reserve units to be called up if needed in times of war due to the dangerous nature of Argentine's borders and internal frontiers, and for the appropriate cultivation of lands granted to migrant communities. From La Rivierre the capital (OTL Buenos Aires), the Director Jean Morel continues to negotiate with delegates from each of the territories and provinces that make up the Argentine State over the future constitution of the State, and the government structure. With the representatives from La Rivierre favoring a Unitarian structure and the provinces particularly Guarani (OTL North Santa Fe and Formosa region) are pushing for a confederation of loosely connected states. Jean is able to postpone talks given the current situation that Argentine faces with a belligerent Mapuche to the west, and a less then friendly Brésil just across the river. Negotiations with the land owners in the far north of the country are also underway to speed up a process of abolition of slavery. The Universite Nationale de la Rivierre is opened up as well as the first major university of the country. the Province of Plaines Argente (OTL Buenos Aires province) is pushed farther south by the militia in raids against hostile natives. Cottage industry around la Rivierre, Sante Marie (OTL Rosario de Sante Fe) continue to grow. Ranching and horse husbandry remain the largest activities of the new country, particularly on the frontiers which remain largely unenclosed lands. Many of the ranchers and settlers are also in the army as reservists or as militia trained for the most part for mobile warfare against the natives these men are known as Frontaliers and the settlements simply as reglements. The Frontaliers units number around 8500 strong, while the standard infantry units are 5000 strong, and stationed mainly along the Rivierre de Argente in fortifications built to protect against potential incursions by the Brésilian giant on the other side. Efforts to import more firearms and to produce them locally begin to supply the growing army. Efforts to begin building a navy are also made to patrol the Argente River. One particular Frotalier captain Henri de Forte proves an astute military commander leading several successful raids against Guarani natives in the Chaku Region (OTL Paraguay). An envoy is sent to Brésil with the intent of establishing normalized relations between the Argentine and the Brésilians that have been tense due to Brésilian efforts to exert influence over Argentine. Jean's envoy makes it explicitly clear that Argentine would be more then willing to be friends and trading partners with their brothers across the river, but that Argentine is an independent state, also requesting that Brésil agree to a renegotiation of the Paraguay region, which Argentine's desire the right to settle greatly given the lack of land for growing migrants, and given the threat posed by natives to the Argentine people living on the river. 
 * Argentine Diplomacy: The General Directory sends a delegation to  Mapuche to discuss a normalization of relations while another delegation is sent in secret to Peru in an effort to improve relations with Peru and to determine if an alliance might be established between both countries. Mod response, please.  In the meantime, Europeans are invited to migrate to Argentine with the promise of a new start in the Argentine frontiers, and the prospects of becoming landowners as vast tracts of uncultivated land remain available for the taking albeit the expense of the natives (though this is never mentioned in the advertisements), or to get a new job in the growing cities along the Rivierre de Argente if the frontier life is not for them. Diplomatic missions to France, Burgundy, Britain, Belka, Russia, Iberia, and even the defeated German states are made in an effort to establish trade and diplomatic ties with Europe, and to attract military, and economic missions to help develop Argentine.
 * Scandinavia: With the War coming to an end, the Scandinavian King would like for Schleswig-Holstein to be ceded to the Kingdom. Along with this they would like reparations for the damages caused to Denmark during this war of aggression. In other news Sweden begins the slow track to industrialization one where the expansion of the heavy industries in directly invested in by the King Alexander. The King is attempting to move Scandinavia farther away from the affairs of mainland Europe, attempting to improve relations with Russia, while improving relations with the other powers specifically Burgundy. With this, however, they continue to expand in Acadia many new immigrants leave for Vinland while the King sets forth to create a new body to elect officials for the up coming constitution. The population has been ravaged as many who had lived in Denmark have moved to Sweden and Norway, and the lost territory of Finland. Scandinavia offers Russia a deal, that the Finnish people should have a right to decide their sovereignty and they should hold a referendum whether to join Scandinavia or stay with Russia. (Mod Response) If Russia is to accept this and Finland chooses to leave the Russia, Scandinavia will reimburse the Russians 500,000 Zlotys. With this Scandinavia having moved towards a new
 * Nyet- Russia
 * Scandinavia is reminded that Denmark was not invaded by Germany until they declared war. 
 * France: Following the Franco-Zayiyr War and the French victory, the Sultanate of Zayiyr is incorporated as a French colony, with Louis's brother Pierre taking over as King of Zayiyr and the Kongo. Following unexpected large casualties, another 20,000 troops are sent and the resources needed for mining are also sent. More later.
 * French Zayiyr: After executing the Sultan and the entire royal family, Pierre begins expanding his rule by, yes, enslaving a large number of the populace to begin mining the riches that are finally confirmed to be there. The main religion is Islam, which is expected to stay as the main religion. Although the main language is Arabic, French is taught as the main language in schools, with Arabic as a secondary language. More later.
 * Your algo is wrong by a far margin. Your region penalties weren't included which totally burn out your population comparison. -Feud
 * Belkan Federation: The Parisian congress continues with Belka discussing now the more particular things of the treaty. The home economy continues to grow as the many veterans begin to take up the industrial jobs. This further stimulates the economy as many roles held by the unable to fight, young or even women, are returned to nearly two million men which return from varying amounts of service. While Egypt remains somewhat concerning Arabia is the true current enemy to fight and three squadrons of ten ships, 15 ships, and 12 ships respectively begin to blockade the Arabian coast using superior tactics and naval technology to keep the Arabians bottled up at home (this is following the stalemated invasions of Belka and the non attack in Ionia). The Vozdh Tito is re-elected in a landslide as his actions were instrumental in the destruction of Napoleons rampaging armies and while there were heavy casualties, and an unusually large amount of War dead, Belka has not suffered too much as it hasn't lost an entire generation of young men like what used to happen in wars in the Slavic states earlier history. Coincidentally, infrastructure built to help supply and regroup Belkan armies during the war of the 2nd coalition are now massive trade arteries with even the early railroad systems beginning to gain some traction albeit with only one existing line, from the Belgrad Industrial works, to the City of Zadar in Croatia. The return of many women home is not really a coincidence. As a result of the return of the men many of the women are pregnant and expectant and a baby boom begins to occur which interestingly enough spurs many men to take up the higher paying industrial jobs. The first blow-back from the workers rights laws set down by Vozdh Tito sees many private business owners attempt to close their factories. However, with so many veterans crewing the factories, the Owners are forced to re-open in less than a week as thousands of armed Veterans backed up by Belkan regulars forcibly open the factories championing the "Workers rights of Tito" which send shock waves throughout the countries industrial elite with many agreeing to re-open but secretly planning to corrupt the government or lobby to get the workers rights removed. However, lobbying to congress proves Fruitful and one business owner proved to be attempting to nullify these rights via loopholes is publicly shot setting the example. "do not interfere with the workers, do not interfere with Industrial output".
 * Sicily: We continue to fortify and integrate the newly acquired territory into the nation, including Naples and other cities. Taking note of the congress in Paris, the government is angered that Britain demands "Italian states ... be aligned under the Papal States," and that the congress appears to not respect Sicily's borders. The king asks that a Sicilian delegation be allowed to attend the conference, or at the very least those terms be reworded or removed.
 * Belkan Dip: You invaded the papacy in a moment of weakness to usurp its territory and suzerainty of which it has rightly gained over much of Italy. Since Belka the other prime actor in Italian politics has agreed that the Papacy takes the mantle of the Italian sovereign state, Belka demands Sicily stand down and come to an accommodation with the Pope.
 * Sicilian Dip: We did come to an accommodation, I said in my turn the governments sign a treaty recognizing that Sicily is returned its former territory. Also that territory was rightly Sicilian for many centuries and only taken by the Papacy a few decades ago as far as I can tell.


 * Russia: Tsar Konstatin II reigns over the Russian Empire. The army generals are relieved for the end of the Napoleonic Wars and the Tsar sends General Joseph Ivanovich Krukov to Paris for Russia. Out East in Arcadia, the Saint Gregory Colony expands into OTL Washington and British Columbia. The population of Novorossiya is around 40,000. With the Corporate dominance over the Colonies and RTK appointed Governors, the Tsar decrees the Colonial Act which creates the Viceroyalty of Novorossiya and appoints Prince Vladimir Demidov as the Viceroy of Novorossiya.
 * Mehican Empire: Our scholars create the first dictionary for Maritimum Deniae, which is called Dictionarium De Deniae Maris. This dictionary is made so that the language of the The southern Dené can get standardized language which will aid their Education and the future translation of other Dené languages. General Geronimo also withdraws 30,000 of his 40,000 troops from the UK border seeing that this will not help our nation anymore and only cost it more. He does get replaced as Admiral Herberto Isac Mata Vaz or more commonly known as Herberto Vaz. The Federal Duma votes on a law which makes any expansion on the border of the Californian governate will not be granted to their state. This is to make no governate to big and allow Tejas and Novo Tejas to grow in size and for new states to come in existance.
 * In the Governate of Gran Panama, the Mehican emperor appoints Atílio Duarte de Alcantara, a mestiço, to serve as the inaugural Governor of the region. Duarte then dissolves the original Duma that had been governing prior to his appointment, angering many of the representatives. Instead, he appoints loyal followers of the Mehican crown to the new Duma. Expansion continues, and Duarte expresses his outrage over the Brésilien expansion into lands claimed by Gran Panama. Meanwhile, Miguel Braganza, the youngest son of the ousted Iberian king who was deposed by the Bread Revolution, arrives in the port town of Cartagena. He begins to organize a group of criollos and peninsulares to oppose the Mehican state. For now, this remains highly secretive, but the cabal is slowly gaining influence.
 * Brésil: soon ...
 * United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland: It's good news that the war with Napoleon is finally over. A lot of troops and ships are shifted to fighting in Arabia while peace is offered to the Kingdom of Arabia- Persia in exchange for Aden and Perim Island to be given to the British. Work is made on the Congress of Paris and Napoleon has now arrived at the Isle of Man and governs the island. With the war over demobilisation begins to occur as soldiers return home with trading resuming. Birth rates grow dramatically. Industrialisation is now hard at work as the population grows as does the technology with more railways and factories. Parliament helps fund the growth of industry by lowering taxes as much as it can on business. England has 10.5 million people and inside of that London has a population of 0.8 million, Wales has 0.8 million, Ireland has 6.0 million people and Scotland 1.8 million. Michael Faraday discovers electromagnetic rotation. Stockton and Darlington Railway is authorised by the Parliament of the United Kingdom. Henry Robinson Palmer patents a monorail system in England. The King accepts the Brésilian offer and sends his daughter Anne to marry the Crown prince. Veterans of the war in Germany are sent to Brésil to assist them in the construction of a new military force by teaching them the latest tactics.
 * East India Company: Some forces of the EIC continue to operate in the Indian Ocean fighting the Arabians. Everything else in the company is going good. Trade of goods continue with Britain.
 * Kingdom of Avalon and Iroquois: The Kingdom of Iroquois expands 50 px west from Henry's land into OTL Kentucky and Ohio. Migration of those struggling due to industrialisation continues. There is an exploding amount of population with immigration, high birth rates and vast amounts of undiscovered land. The population of Avalon is 1.3 million and Iroquois has 3.2 million.
 * Egypt: With the war finally over, the soldiers and veterans of the war return to a ravaged Egypt, a nation once of glory now reduced to poverty, rebellion and anarchy. The Royal Army, itself, controlling small enclaves of Lower Egypt, while the rest is either controlled by a loose alliance of Governors and local tribal leaders or the invading Ethopians. In turn, a scapegoat is found: Queen Fawzia and it is immediately agreed that she deposed. The Rasheed (Rossetta) Mutiny, named as such due to the Mutiny beginning there, occurs in which virtually the entire military declares open revolt in one of the largest revolts in Human history. Within months, all but the Cities of Luxor and Ismail are under Loyalist Control, by that point Fawzia had arrived in the Isle of Man. (MORE LATER)
 * Kingdom of Savannah: Following the wars that have struck Europe, we begin to further our expansions as always by another 50 px. New London Conferences are held and Adam Lee after having a bit of a stall in delivering his papers and ideas to present to the parliament is done. He agrees that it is also best to send the men back across the Mehica-Arcadia border as well. Propaganda and so forth of unification of the Arcadian States continues for the English men and women and other European peoples of our beautiful homelands. Representatives are sent to Britain to speak about these ideals as well. In the meantime, an Italian translator and several diplomats are sent to Mehica to speak with the leader of the nation. Large amounts of people head west to bountiful lands to produce cash crops and grain in OTL Great Plains. We continue to use our military budget to produce a strong navy and to also create a self sustainable state under the crown. Militias spread further around the regions and new towns are continuing to be built. With the help of new immigration reforms, thousands of immigrants flood into our nation from Europe and so forth. Factories are continuing to be expanded across more urban zones to create industrialized cities and such as well continuing to create a booming economy. We continue to hold onto our southern charm.
 * Hawaii: The nation continues expanding across the Pacific, trading and settling our various conquered or colonized possessions, especially Tonga, and other islands in the far southwest. Expansion of infrastructure within the Hawaiian Islands proper continue with many cities, such as Honolulu, having been transformed into European-style urban centers. A similar process takes root slowly in more heavily settled colonies of the kingdom, such as in Tonga, where the government has already completed forts and shipyards for the purpose of garrisoning the islands. Other settlements in Polynesia, such as Papeete, see similar development. The navy continues to be expanded in order to ensure control over the vast territories of the kingdom, with many more modern ships entering service. The king, and a large entourage of friends and chiefs, decides to tour Laurentia/Arcadia, visiting Gran Panama, the Mehican Empire, and many of the colonies on the eastern seaboard. While traveling in Savanna the king experiences racism firsthand for his darker appearance, leading to an embarrassing and perplexing experience, and also a less favorable opinion of the Arcadians.
 * Swahili: We continue colonial expansion in Northern Somalia, in the South and in the Malindi and Mombassa area. Colonisation steadily increases as medicine and weaponry become more widespread. Industrialisation begins in the North following the adoption of more tools and mechanical technology, as well as higher wages for workers due to the population loss in the civil war. Meanwhile, the post-war baby boom continues. Mass production of new model ships-of-the-line are undertaken and the two major fleets are sent to Sefuwa and South West Atlantic, with an contingent of 10,000 elite marines. We request the colonies of Olungu and other Kongo colonies to be returned to Swahili by Iberia or the fleets will take all actions necessary. Secretly, we contact France, United Kingdom and Belka, assuring them of most favourable rate at these ports in exchange for non intervention and tacit support.
 * Sefuwa: The colony of Sefuwa continues development.
 * Huriya: Political integration begins with Swahili bureaucrats being sent to oversee some political processes.
 * Rowzi: Political integration begins with Swahili bureaucrats being sent to oversee some political processes.
 * Swahili Diplomacy: We propose the Arab-Indian Pact with our allies of Bengal and Dravidia.

''' Napoleon escapes from Man in the dead of night and arrives in Germany. People are surprised to see him and his most loyal soldiers return to him immediately. He marches on Frankfurt with a token force and forces the Council to acknowledge him as emperor once more. With the Rhineland now in his control again, his men return to him. He writes to the coalition powers asking them to give him control over the wartime borders of Germany, including Austria but excluding Prussia. The coalition powers promptly tell him to shove it and march as one giant army from Paris, meeting him at the Rhine. Napoleon has only brought a small force which the coalition army believes they have defeated. However, they have been tricked, as the greater part of Napoleon's army evaded coalition scouts to cross the Rhine further south and take the coalition army in the rear. Although Napoleon appears to have won the day miraculously once again, his reserves collapse when their leader, his strong right hand Marshal Kohl, is killed, leading to a rout. Napoleon escapes with the remains of his army and decides to quit once and for all. Upon returning to Frankfurt and reinstating the Council once again, he advises them to create a democratic nation before departing to surrender himself. Napoleon's return lasted 111 days. '''

''' His son, the Prince Napoleon, came to join in the fighting, but was too late and missed the battle. The Council rejects his offer to take up the crown and he departs Germany in anger. '''
 * United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland: It's good news that the war with Napoleon is finally over again. A lot of troops and ships are shifted to fighting in Arabia while peace is offered to the Kingdom of Arabia- Persia in exchange for Aden and Perim Island to be given to the British. Work is made on the Congress of Paris  and this time Napoleon is sent all the way to India into the hands of the EIC far away where he has no power but a lifestyle fitting to his rank. With the war over demobilisation begins to occur as soldiers return home with trading resuming. Birth rates grow dramatically. Industrialisation is now hard at work as the population grows as does the technology with more railways and factories. Parliament helps fund the growth of industry by lowering taxes as much as it can on business. England has 10.5 million people and inside of that London has a population of 0.8 million, Wales has 0.8 million, Ireland has 6.0 million people and Scotland 1.8 million. Michael Faraday discovers electromagnetic rotation. Stockton and Darlington Railway is authorised by the Parliament of the United Kingdom. Henry Robinson Palmer patents a monorail system in England. Veterans of the war in Germany are sent to Brésil to assist them in the construction of a new military force by teaching them the latest tactics. Charles Babbage publishes a proposal for a "difference engine", a mechanical forerunner of the modern computer for calculating logarithms and trigonometric functions.
 * East India Company: Some forces of the EIC continue to operate in the Indian Ocean fighting the Arabians. Everything else in the company is going good. Trade of goods continue with Britain. Tensions rise with Bengal as the war in Europe is over and expansionists thoughts are made.
 * Kingdom of Avalon and Iroquois: The Kingdom of Iroquois expands 50 px west from Henry's land into OTL Kentucky and Ohio. Migration of those struggling due to industrialisation continues. There is an exploding amount of population with immigration, high birth rates and vast amounts of undiscovered land. The population of Avalon is 1.3 million and Iroquois has 3.2 million.
 * In the Governate of Gran Panama, Atílio Duarte de Alcantara continues to rule over the region with little official opposition. Having appointed pro-Mehican nobles to the Duma, Duarte's position is quite secure for the time being. He orders continued expansion into the Gran Panamanian claim lines, and focuses elsewhere upon enriching himself through a corrupt administration of the state. Miguel Braganza, an Iberian prince, continues to build a coalition of anti-Mehican men, primarily criollos and peninsulares. Braganza and his followers envision a free state modelled after a more democratic version of the Iberian territory of New Granada. Towards the end of the year, Braganza publishes the "Sentimentos do Homem no Novo Mundo," laying out his vision of governance. In the Sentimentos, Braganza outlines a constitutional monarchy whose power rests with a natural aristocracy. The son of a deposed king, Miguel Braganza shows that he is appalled by violence in his work, but it still catches the eyes of a capricious governor, Atílio Duarte. Duarte orders the arrest of Braganza, but his marshal assigned to make the arrest is a member of Braganza grouping. Braganza, tipped off as to the plans, flees through the jungle to Brésil. The marshal fakes the death of Miguel Braganza, but rumors of his escape are hard to contain. Infuriated, Duarte orders restrictions on the freedom of the press and freedom of assembly at the end of the year.
 * Mehican Imperial Diplomacy: The Emperor and the Imperial Duma condemn the actions of Duarte and we declare his rule illegal and take over of Mehican control. And we demand that Braganza will get apologised by him and that Miguel will even be invited to meet the emperor. The emperor also demands the restrictions to any restrictions of press and assembly.
 * British Dip: The British advisers learn of Braganza and his men's arrival in Brésil so they quietly and secretly meet with him and provide him and his men arms and training.
 * Brésilian Dip: Hearing of the growing instability across the border the new government offers to mediate between the different parties involved. 
 * Brésil: As tensions rise in the Paraguay and Chaku region with Argentine moving into the region with some forces, The Grande Assemble authorize the mobilization of 5000 troops to help secure the Chaku region. St. Denis also issues an mission to La Rivierre to pressure the government of Argentine to respect the treaty of Normand and to withdraw from the Chaku region. Development of cotton plantations also begins in the Rivierre de Sud Province (OTL Uruguay, and Rio Grande del Sul) as the lands are deemed appropriate for its development other settlers look to the Paraguay region with interest as well. Due to the highly volatile situation in the Chaku region the St. Denis issues the Frontiers act. copying the model of their Argentine rivals, the Frontalier units are created out of recent settlers who desire to gain land at a cheaper price both in the amazon and in the Chaku region, however as opposed to the Argentine these units form irregular units of reservists that act in conjunction with the Brésilian army but acting under local initiative separate of military command. The government also makes efforts to further expand their settlement efforts of the amazon region and of the Gros Buisson (Mato Grosso) with new migrants from Europe. Much of the settlements that are established specially in the south begin developing into Ranching, and farming communities along with coffee production around the city of Port Royal a relatively new settlement on around the area of Rio de Janiero. British military advisors are used to modernize and train the the Brésil military along European line employing the lessons learned from the Napoleonic war. Emperor Alexandre feeling sympathy for the Bonapartes, invites the family - now social pariahs in Europe - to retire to Brésil and  live in the growing empire (mod response, please. Scraw said I could get Karl potentially). The Emperor and Grande Assemble look with interest at the growing railways systems of Europe and send out delegations to Britain, and Belka with the intent of securing assistance in construction of a railways system across Brésil to help unite the country and assist with the settlement and economic development of Brésil. Military expansion begins as the forces are raised to 25,000 between 15,000 active members and 10,000 reservists. This does not include the planned 5000 to 10,000 frontalier's through the planned militia system for the settlement of the frontiers. Braganza and his supporters are welcomed to Brésil by the emperor and by members of the Brésillian military.
 * Russia: Colonial expansion into British Columbia continues. The Alyeskan viceroy sends an emissary to Mehico to Propose the Treaty of Saint Gregory to set a boundary line for Russian expansion south, and Mehicano expansion north. More later.
 * Mehican Empire: The National Mehican Bank (Banco Nacional Mehicano) is founded as the only bank in The entire nation that is allowed to coin money and if needed make IOU's. All other banks can lend money and do business. Our advisors also now found the "Imperial bureau of weights and measurements" [Escritório Imperial de Pesos e Medidas] (EIPM) this is done so all weights get standardized so that internal and foreign trade is easier and more manageable. Pino seeing the tension on the continent also cuts all ties he had with any British Arcadian movements . Our government also calls back the last remaining soldiers in their lands. And they leave at the border a bottle of old rum. The imperial Duma also begin talks about how to get people into the governmental Duma and the laws of the governor himself. This is done to make it less abusable. This will also make it more representative. The Federalist party even with hating the current Duma and the empire do support these ideas fully. But they do urge for a constitution to come with these laws. The newly created General Naming Convention ["Convenção geral de nomeação"] (CGN) petitions the government to return to the old naming standards of regions by their Iberian naming. Our emperor officially recognises the Salish state as his beloved brotherly state with the greatest wonders outside Mehico itself. The Salish are temini tlajtokayotl brother to country or better translated as brotherly state. The emperor also ask other nations to recognise them as well. Our diplomats to the Kingdom of Hawaii tell that the Mehicans want to join the pan-polynessian games if hoopball is allowed.Our Imperial duma also signs a new law were any immigrant who moves to the mehican frontier and can farm the lands for five year,will own the land they have farmed and with it they gain cityzienship there is also a motto made with this bill "Veni ad nostrum limitem et partum vestri novus Imperium" with under the motto a roman eagle imperial eagle with under it the text "Vieni alla nostra frontiera e crea il tuo nuovo stato imperiale".The emperor also makes a speach about this bill with "Io sono come te, entrambi figli dell'impero" this meaning "I am just like you,both sons of the empire". The emperor with this bill also makes Italian a official language of the empire.
 * Nonsense. -s
 * Egypt: Muhammed Ali, Sultan of Egypt, Emir of Kush and Benghazi, begins his first year ruling over Egypt, establishing the Mus'od dynasty across Lower and Upper Egypt and the Kush (Sudan). The nation he inherits, however, has lived through its days of glory and is in a poor state, requiring a great statesman like himself. Despite claiming to rule over Egypt and Kush (Sudan), in reality the Sultanate only truly consolidating power over Egypt Proper. Knowing a military solution would be costly, Muhammed Ali calls upon the people of Kush to rise up and revolt over their Ethiopian Oppresors. In the same proclamation, he calls upon the Caliph to declare a Jihad or any feasible option to help liberate the Arab populations there henceforth. (MOD RESPONSE). The failed military campaigns in Greece and Ethiopia remain at the front of the population's troubled minds, and so it is resolved the military must be reorganised and reconstructed. The issue of the military is one Muhammed Ali takes a particular emphasis on due to his former command of the armed forces. A strict series of requirements are placed upon the military and units that do not fit the criteria are disbanded to be retrained. As such only the most able regiments remain. The new model military bases itself on the military of Arabia-Persia, with much of the technology and army designation imported from the Arabians. Unlike that of the Abbasids and Rashidun preceding it, the Navy is placed as a high priority of the state and a modern Navy is commissioned by direct orders of the Sultan in Alexandria. The Navy is to be split primarily into three fleets: the Nile fleet (based on the ports of the Nile, to protect commerce and trading across the Nile), the Red Sea Fleet (based in the Port of Ghalib, to protect Egyptian interests in the Red Sea and Indian Ocean, militarily and in commerce) and the Mediterranean Fleet (based in Alexandria and Tobrouq,). An envoy is sent to Belka for peace negotiations in the City of Hekrapokilis. 
 * ​The people do this because Ethiopia is weak and garbage and they don't like them. -s
 * Etho dip: We are open to talks about peace as this war has gone on long enough.
 * Hawaii: The nation continues expanding across the Pacific, trading and settling our various conquered or colonized possessions, especially Tonga, and other islands in the far southwest. Expansion of infrastructure within the Hawaiian Islands proper continue with many cities, such as Honolulu, having been transformed into European-style urban centers. A similar process takes root slowly in more heavily settled colonies of the kingdom, such as in Tonga, where the government has already completed forts and shipyards for the purpose of garrisoning the islands. Other settlements in Polynesia, such as Papeete, see similar development. In Brésil the current ambassador, Antoine Ribault, retires and Lui-Anakoni Kamāʻuleʻule, son of Pier Kamaile II, Chief of Viti Levu, and brother of the Minister of War Charles Kekūāiwa, is appointed by Kamehameha V. The government states it will offer refuge for any members of the Bonaparte family, after the king is petitioned by Jacopo Bonaparte, a Hawaiian national and resident via his membership in the House of Véron through his mother. This is in addition to the already standing law that any descendant of Véron or his contingent shall be offered Hawaiian citizenship and honors within the kingdom. The king's first cousin, Charles René Lunalilo, while vacationing in the Mehican Empire (in southern California) with friends, fascinates the locals by demonstrating the Hawaiian sport of surfing. The attention this receives causes the sport to travel outside the islands for the first time, and also inspires the king to announce a pan-Polynesian games based on the ancient Olympics, featuring popular local games that have been structured with new centralized rules.
 * Salish Nation: Our new leader, Ivan Suiattle, orders a new census. Our population is now 3.5 Million. Ivan has ambitious plans, and assembles a cabinet to get it through. In charge of the army and navy is Vladimir Vasiliev, who quickly increases quality in the forces. Smithing seems to now be a large industry, and logging rapidly expands. Timber is shipped to Mehico, bringing a much needed trade surplus. Roads are built, and Dwuamish, Tacoma, and Yakima are booming. In a week-long campaign, the city state of Walla Walla is subjgated, being annexed after a month-long occupation. A punitive expedition is conducted into Nez Perce land, which is soon followed by Vassilization. Ivan also makes the Grand Declaration, which defines our borders as "Stretching from the great waters of Pacific, to the lands of the Nez Perce, and from the lands of Haida to the lands of Mehico". It also uses thinly veiled language to describe the desire to expel foreigners from these said lands. Salish also sends out Diplomats to Mehico, requesting passage to different European countries, seeking out diplomatic relations with them. (Secret) We also request aid from Mehico in our upcoming campaign against russia (End Secret).
 * France: The war against the Sultanate of Zayiyr continues (Algo will be worked on shortly and adjusted/fixed). Military campaigns are expected to continue in the following years, however, Lious see's these as necessary as a means of being able to secure the riches within the Kongolese region. The Inner Circle, finally being organized and properly armed, become the unknown but relatively heard about secret police of France ordered by King Lious as a means of sweeping political opposition "under the rug". Although the disappearences of key members of the National Assembly are reported, many of the bodies are placed and "found" around the entire French countryside. Many of the bodies are treated as murders, and thus petty criminals are placed as murderers as a means of covering these up. In other news, sweeping reforms occur, with encouragement, such as tax cuts, being made for ethnic French people to reproduce and grow the population. Many of the previous alliances are executed, and a new alliance is proposed between the Kingdom of Iberia and the Kingdom of Sicily (Mod). 
 * Sicily: We accept the alliance offer.
 * Sicily: We accept the alliance offer from France, and also extend an offer to Iberia to create an alliance as well (player/mod response). The area that was granted to us by the treaty we made with the Papal States continues to be garrisoned and connected to our nation's infrastructure. Forts are remanned or constructed around Naples and other important cities and places along the border. We reiterate that we do not want conflict any more and hope to maintain positive relations with "prime actor" Belka.
 * Kingdom of Burgundy: Sailors operating for Burgundy land at OTL Richmond, New Zealand after being blown off course. Claiming the land for Burgundy, they name it New Zeeland. With the end of the Napoleonic wars, Burgundy begins its efforts at recovering. Reforms to the army are made based on lessons learned. Some express doubts about the loyalty of Willem vun Bonapaart, the current Graf Bonapaart, and his family, but seeing their efforts for the war most concerns are dismissed.
 * Cologne: This year has been incredibly stressful for Archbishop Garrick. The Council has been shaken extensively by what Garrick sees as the final death-spasms of Napoleon, the final wars, and the final people killed. These final wars, of Germany’s Great Dictator and his Terrible Reign, have sent the once-great Rhineland into the ground. Kolsch people in particular are incensed, and Archbishop Garrick senses their pain. Therefore, he is particularly active in Council meetings, making it clear that the people of Cologne, and particularly the Kolsch administration through the University of Cologne, has the most experience in running this country – both spiritually and generally for the better welfare of all Germans. In the wake of such a monster’s rule, Archbishop Garrick is able to lead the Council to making good decisions about the democratic structure of the German nation. (This involves the restoration of the judicial arm of the system in Bonn, noticeably.) All the while, he continues to campaign for Cologne (and Essen)’s independence for religious freedom and the good welfare of all German peoples.
 * Essen: Abbess Yslana was quiet last time Napoleon seemed to be defeated; this time, she is even more quiet, and some Essenian commentators start noticing. She ignores them, however, and carries on with the educating of the next generation about the failures of Napoleon and what can be learned from his rule. Both the mines and hospitals have started to run properly again. Meanwhile, the Adelphinian Canonesses in both Tondo and New Germany continue to operate quietly, efficiently and reliably.
 * Papal States: The Hundred Days campaign against Napoleon takes much of the Papal elites by surprise, and there is widespread panic that the German army will once more threaten Rome. However his quick defeat by the coalition and the resumption of talks in Paris calms everyone down. The Papal nuncio to the Congress of Paris makes the Pope's wishes known, and agrees with the points raused by the Great Powers. Missions continue.
 * Ethiopian Empire: Dawitt urges the army not to act with violence but kindness to the revolting people of Sudan. In response to this the front is fortified more and troops are ordered not to engage Egyptians unless necessary. However, 50,000 trained troops are sent forward to the front. Everyone in Sudan is now treated as a citizen of Ethiopia with the full benefits. More churches and schools are built to allow the people of Sudan better education practices. The postal system for the Empire is started and sees good first initial results. Farming from the south provides great amounts of food for the growing cities. The first factory is set up along the Blue Nile to refine coffee, while more are opened for different resources.

1823
''' Ethiopian generals in the occupied Sudan reject the emperor's orders and begin a harsh crackdown on the rebellious people. Furthermore the length of the war and the emperor's policies in Sudan are leading Ethiopia toward bankruptcy, especially since trade in the region has been heavily disrupted by the instability in Egypt and war in Arabia. '''

''' Arabia accepts the British deal. '''

''' The Revolutionary State of Savoy collapses with the final end of Napoleonic Germany. Chaos engulfs Savoy as many different factions vie for power. '''

''' Napoleon escapes the British in India once again, not to return to Germany, but to travel the world. He ventures high into the Himalayas and visits the Tibetan people. '''

''' Local government in New Netherland raises tariffs very high to economic concerns. This makes traders and merchants very angry as their business suffers because of it. '''
 * France: With the military campaigns in Zayiyr becoming a success after occupation of the coast, King Lious funds the campaigns further, as another 3,000 troops and 10 naval battleships are sent as the French Colonial Army begins to move up and possibly siege the capital of M'Banza and effectively overthrow the Sultan's political power in the region. A population consensus concludes that the population is roughly 24,500,000, with the population slowly rising. The reforms meant to bring national revival to France continue, with the Inner Circle continuing to execute political opposition and spread propoganda that slanders nations that currently hold political "grudges" towards France. The military resides at a peacetime of 120,000 able-bodied men aged 18-25 soldiers divided into 12 divisions. King Lious offers his hand in support for the Savoy government, offering them a French intervention and possibly ending the civil war for them if they agree to return to their statehood in the Kingdom of France (Scraw). In addition, Military Forts are built along the French-Savoy border, as a means of not allowing any possible spread of the civil unrest from Savoy into France. King Lious sends a letter to Great Britian requesting for the trading of the French Bahama Islands excluding Andros for OTL São Tomé and Príncipe (Player Response Needed) A similar offer is offered to Iberia, with the French Bahama Island of Andros being offered for OTL Bioko Island (Scraw). A deal is offered to Belka, in which King Lious offers to purchase the Karpathos Island for whatever 13,000,000 USD is in Belkan Rubles (Feud). Industrialization continues as more coal mines and factories are opened and un-employment decreases.
