The Greater Americas (Map Game)

This game revolves around the idea that instead of all the powerful and developed nations appearing in Europe and Asia, with the Americas being discovered with less developed peoples, then being conquered and colonized - the opposite happens. The developed nations appear in the Americas, and then the rest of the world is discovered, conquered and colonized. The PoD is not clear, though it might have been to do with the way species moved as the supercontinent Pangea broke up. The game starts at the point of discovery of Europe and Africa. The calendar evolved diferently so we start in the year 812, which is equivalent to 1700s OTL. The colonization race has begun.

Rules

 * 1) Be plausible. We don't dominate the world in a week or allow alien space invaders helping your nation.
 * 2) One nation per user, except puppet states and colonies.
 * 3) Game starts in 812.
 * 4) One turn per day.
 * 5) Each turn is a year until 1000. Then each turn is six months.
 * 6) Edit the map yourself if the mods have not made the changes you need.
 * 7) Don't overcolonize. Countries can't have colonies everywhere.
 * 8) Don't expand too fast. We don't want nations to be doubling in size every day.
 * 9) The game starts on January 6th (2012).

Archives
There will be archives every 20 years up until 1000 G.A (Greater Americas year), from when it will be 10 years. The first archive will be of 8 years, however.

The Map


''' We have a new map, and from now on, no-one edits the map but the Mods, because someone messed with the old one and ruined it. Any changes we have missed put in the Changes section below. FP 21:05, January 23, 2012 (UTC) '''

Tips

 * Before choosing your nation, we advise you look at the country profiles page here, to see what nation you would like.
 * Once you have chosen your nation, you can change the profile to show how you are developing.
 * Feel free add any missing nations!
 * Flags are optional but advisable as they help give a national identity.
 * Colonies or puppet states can become independent from your nation if they are not happy with your nation. These then become a new nation and are added to the list, free for new players.

Mods
If you think either of us are being unfair, tell us: ForsakenPear and Imperium Guy
 * ForsakenPear - I am the creator. I am in charge of natural events (e.g. earthquakes, floods, droughts, etc.). I am also head cartographer.
 * Imperium Guy - I am in charge of inactive nations if needed (e.g. if they are offered an alliance) and the guy who will keep Mr FP in check, lol.

''' This year is a go. The previous years have been archived. '''

''' The Franks collapse as smaller nations raid them for technology and surrounding nations take over most lands of the Franks. The Mongols manage to make contact with one of Patagon's exploring ships in the area. The meetings go fine, and everything looks ok, for now atleast. '''
 * Patagon: A fleet of five ships is sent to northern Terra Australis. There, the natives agree to become part of Patagon, on the conditions that they will have full access to Patagonian technology and their current leader will still be in charge of the colony. Considering his accomplishments and popularity among his people, the high ruler agrees to this as long as the local leader will still answer to the mainland. The national economy continues to improve.
 * The Incan Empire: The Emperor issues a law giving Eu'ropa natives similar rights to Incan citizens, such as the right to own property and serve in the armed forces. While improving the natives' rights, it is far from making them equal. An exploration fleet discovers OTL Italy and colonizes OTL Sicily.
 * Incan Diplomacy: The Empire suggests that the Empire and Huari merge into one nation. The Emperor also asks the Great States for an Alliance.
 * United Kingdom of Great Britain: With the increases of foriegn colonizers, the King of Wessex marries the daughter of the King of Northumbria on January 2. The King of Northumbria is soon killed by food poisining on january 30. The King of Wessex then becomes the King of Northumbria as well. He then quickly captures the Kingdom of East Anglia on March 21, the Kingdom of Mercia on June 3, and the Kingdom of Cornwall on September 2. He then declares himself the King of All England. The Kingdom of England then comes into effect on the 22nd of September. King Christopher I of England begins to rebuild England from its wars of unification. The Scots and Irish recognize the new King of All England with the Treaty of London.
 * The Mojave: The colony of Singapore continues to expand northward, by an few miles, and increasing construction of Pearl Harbor begins. Scout ships are sent to discover what else is out there, they discover OTL Japan, Korea, and the Coast of China. Meanwhile, research on the firearm continues, and the building of the forts continue. Landing parties are sent onto the newly discover lands, but the landing parties are forced off their land, and they head back to Singapore.
 * United Amazon is all set with it's expedition, and one team of three ships head north, and land in OTL France, while the other expedition heads south, and misses OTL South Africa and instead lands in Madagascar. The sailors in France leave behind 50 men to establish a small fort using nerby resources while the rest go send information about there information, while the ones in Madagascar have to stay for the rest of the year there because of storms.
 * The Aztecs officially gain control of the Olomec and make contact with the Mojave. They ask them for an alliance and trade agreements. They establish colonies across the Philippines, covering every island except Mindanao.
 * Antilia: The King announces plans to try and capture the territories of the Karribian. Attacks are launched and the nation falls within a year. Incorporation of the nation begins and is predicted to take around a year or two.

Particularily bad El Niño activity in the Pacific causes bad flooding in the Incan Empire and a terrible drought in Terra Australis.


 * The Mojave accepts the trade and alliance agreements from the Aztecs. Research on that new firearm is complete, and is equivlant to OTL Kentucky Longrifle. The colony in Singapore continues to expand up the Malayisian Coast.
 * The Incan Empire: The Empire invades Huari and swiftly defeats the small enclave. A draft is introduced to increase military power and a lot of resources are put into R&D. Militias are ordered to assist flood-affected areas immediatly.
 * Incan Diplomacy: The The_Greater_Americas_Colonization_Sphere.pngEmpire suggests a new colonization sphere treaty and insists that all colonial powers either agree to it or propose a counteroffer.
 * Antilian Diplomacy: Antilia disagrees with the treaty for some nations have a very small area, and some have a large area but are mostly sea. The King notes that in the treaty the Incas have the most land area on the map, and it was them that proposed it, and Mojave have almost none at all.
 * Union Diplomacy: Predicts that nations will not follow the spheres and think that everyone should be able to colonize where they want to. Discussions will take place if things get bad.
 * Patagonian Diplomacy: Patagon agrees to the idea of spheres, but the current boundaries have already been violated and the land is distributed very disproportionately.
 * Incan Diplomacy: The Empire ends the plan due to lack of support.
 * Union of Great States: Due to droughts, colonizers move eastward to try and gain fertile soil and more water. Ships sail northeastward and land on what ws a former Incan colony. The establish diplomatic contact with the leader and propose a trade agreement and possible alliance. Two large colonies are established on OTL New Zealand's North Island. It is predicted that the whole island will be Union territory in 2 years.
 * Patagon: Strict water rations are imposed on the Terra Australis colony in order to help the population survive. OTL New Zealand is named Calland. They also propose to the Great States this deal: If they turn control of their Calland colonies and the eastern half of Terra Australis over to Patagon, then they shall have free access to the western half of the large island, with no opposition from Patagonian forces whatsoever.
 * Union Diplomacy: They counter offer with that the Union can have North Calland and for this Patagon will be allowed the whole East coast and Union will explore unknown territories and document their finding to the Patagon high command.
 * The Aztecs propose the Antillians an invasion of what is now OTL Colombia, and asks them to prepare for that moment. They officially settle Mindanao, laying claim to all of it. They begin to establish settlements in what is now Indonesia.
 * Antilian Diplomacy: Antilia agrees to invade as long as they get a fair share of the land. Antilian troops invade the Muisca, despite previous alliances. The navy starts a full on assault on the north coast on the Muisca, destroying several ports.
 * Kingdom of Angland: King Christopher I of England gains the support of the Irish and Scottish lords against their respective kings. After gaining the support of the Irish and Scottish lords he usurps the Scottish throne and the Irish throne. The popular rebellions kill the weak Irish and Scottish kings. The lords then sign the Magna Carta Unio (Great Charter of Union). This makes King Christopher the king of Ireland, Scottland and England. King Christopher I declares the Kingdom of Angland as the "nation that will stand against the horde of vile infidels." King Christopher calls for all Christians to "rise up against their infidel occupiers".
 * United Amazon gets word of where its expeditions landed, and they send 300 men to each location found. manufaturing rises due to the need of jobs, and the school system is funded with new tariffs.
 * The Muisca now reign over the island of Mindanao, the large island at the southern end of the Phillipines.
 * Wait a minute, two different nations claimed the same land this turn. This probably has to be resolved. I blame people for not reading each other's posts.
 * I will do an RNG for this. Aztec Mindanao: 1-5; Muisca Mindanao: 6-10. FP
 * Results: 4 = Aztec Mindanao. FP
 * Antilia: Antilia focuses mostly on the war with Muisca, but also some ships are sent to expand the colonies in New America and Gujarat.

''' The Incan colony is expanded by the colonists. It now covers 2/3rds of OTL Spain. '''
 * Union of Greater States: The Mojave and the Union, over talks (my talkpage) have united. All colonies of both former countries are now one. The North Calland colony is linked up and the Terra Australis colony is expanded as well. Explorers discover Aboriginals while exploring north, non-Union territory.
 * Kingdom of Angland: King Christopher now begins a rebuilding project of Ireland and Scottland. He also begins to attempt to modernize the Anglish Army and Navy using some of the technology found in the former occupied territories in Ireland. The Bishop of London, along with bishops from Edmonton, Dublin, Tipperary, and twenty-three other cities send a letter to the Pope to request the declaration of a crusade against the "invading heathens".
 * Antilia builds up defence on the border of the Muisca and continues its naval assault. The king calls for the Aztecs to invade from the thin border in the north, and also to join Antilia in the naval attack. The Gujarat colony expands, and with it comes a new colony across the Gulf of Omancia, on the OTL Arabian Peninsula. It is named Omancia.
 * Antilian Diplomacy: Historians from Antilia would like all nations affected by the tsunami on 1st November 818 to put out an approximate or official death toll, so the entire scale of the loss of life can be accepted. Antilia's was 19,280.
 * Incan Diplomacy: The loss of life from Incan Colonies is about 10,340.
 * The Incan Empire: The Empire increases the amount of soldiers in its overseas colonies. Fortifications are built along the northern border and along the coast. Hospitals are built across the Empire. A navy base and fortress are constructed on the Galapagos Islands.
 * Incan Diplomacy: The Emperor insists that war with the Muisca cease at once. If they do not, the Emperor promises to stand with their ally.
 * Anglish Diplomacy: The Anglish asks that the Incans free their European holdings back to their originial inhabitants.
 * Incan Diplomacy: The Emperor states that he will only negotiate with foreigners if he is treated with respect instead of being called an unholy infidel.
