Principia Moderni (Map Game)

Principia Moderni, or "The Beginning of the Modern" in Late Latin, is a map game beginning in the final days of the Middle Ages in Europe, and the early days of the Ming dynasty in China--1420 C. E...The House of Hohenzollern have become the Electorates of Brandenburg--though most of the power in the Holy Roman Empire still lies with the Habsburgs, Joan of Arc has defeated the English at Orleans, the city of Tenochtitlan is founded by the Aztecs, the Timurid Empire has united Central and West Asia, and the Yongle Emperor sends out Zheng He to voyage westwards. It is a turbulent era, in other words, an era of change, and an era in which power is cemented.

''' A powerful lord calls a meeting of Ethiopian lords to discuss the possibility of electing an emperor. The lords are appointed to a council and elect Bakaffa, of the Solomonic royal line, as emperor. His male descendants are sent to Wehni, and he is crowned. Meanwhile, the Pahang Kingdom makes a successful break from the Empire of Vietnam. The amount of support is large that most of the cities south of Narathiwat and north of Sumatra declare independence and opt for the protection of Pahang in return for incorporation into the kingdom. '''
 * Itsaygahi has been expanding south in Florida for many turns now, and since they got that grey portion down there that the Mamluks rule, they now should hold all of Florida, yet the map has not been updated at all for decades despite their expansion through there. Also, maybe Finland should be the color of Armenia, as Russia already has two Vassals (Kazahkstan and Livonia) and Finland would be loser controlled, like Armenia (also, since the Finns are making their own colonies, it would make it easier to distingish them apart)
 * About Talagi on Florida: i forgot.and Finland ain't a puppet state of Russia, like Armenia.both are united, like the Kalmar Union, and the Kalmar Union had the same colors for all the countries. i asked DK if i could make Finland/Russia the same colors, and he said yes.
 * I guess it would be up to Kogasa in this case.

Under pressure from other members of the royal family, Gaganjit decides to launch an attack on the two major power bases at Bengalla (OTL Dhaka) and Aynwa (OTL Innwa), but they are ineffective. Toeh Ngoa Nyoing expands east 400 sq km from OTL Murmansk, as Toeh Ngoa Nyoing begins to show signs of dissent from the Mon crown.
 * Hungary updates its army.The Greek army is upgraded, along with the navy.since various parts of territory on the Nile were already taken, the caravels constructed will be useful for a few months when Egypt resumes expansion.However, given the instability of the country, using the armies stationed there to continue expanding is virtually impossible.the first tests are made, with some of them reaching Cairo.However, is stated that only few cannons can be placed, with the consequence of slowing the ship down, and is unknown if they will be efficient on battle.Újfundlandi expands 3050 sq km on its main island.

After new sites of gold are discovered in the colony the government tries to take control, sending many ships to bring it back to Europe. One ship, coming into the bay (OTL Humboldt Bay) crashes into some rocks, which causes its shipload of gold to be drowned. This creates a legend of the wreck, and people walking along the bay will find washed up pieces of gold for decades. Meanwhile, the King-Emperor calls the Estates-General, and declares that it cannot be dissmissed for more than a year at a time, making it a type of Parliament. Finally, the Spanish alliance is accepted.
 * France builds up its military, waiting a new war to expand the Colonial Empire. The Parliament gives representation to Haiti and Malouinas-Terre de Feu. The Council votes for iniciate a new educational system: The school is divided in three periods: Primary (6 to 10 years), High School (10 to 16 years) and Final Schoolg (16 to 20 or 22); the education required by the government is divided in three branches: Science: Math and biology; Philosphy: Lenguages (French, Greek, Latin, Arab and Italian) and ancient philosohpy; Law: Basical knowledges of politics, economy and military. In the colonies of Naples, the missionaries start risings against the government, claiming the acceptance of their cult. The caliph travels to Hanthwaddy to convince the rebels to lay down the weapons.
 * Is that elaborate an education system plausible at this time? Not many people (farmers) could afford to send their children to school until 22 (or even 16). 
 * IN Russia, Peter Continues to fight the corrupt people in power. Peter's "new men" start replacing the old nobility in positions of power, basing their high position on competence, rather than bloodright. More MIlitary expansion occurs.

They begin to torch Sunni Mosques and destroy Sunni villages, killing thousands with a bloodthirstyness rarely seen since the middle ages. Massive amounts of refugees poor into the areas surrounding these colonies, fleeing the Neapolitan destruction.

 * The king Jean expands the military, and he becomes the Gran Maester of the Order of Saint Robert. Meanwhile, the missionaries are still crossing the frontier and urging rebelions. Some mercenaries and militias, against the will of the Caliph, invade Tunisia, and some mamluk soldiers, under the orders of the radical heir to the Caliphate, Selim, invade Jerusalem. Rumors of failed assassing trying to invade Rome and kill the Pope start circulate Italy. To fix the civil problem, the archbishop Jean Cardinal Bertrand of Avgnon and the caliph travel to Rome and offer the Pope and the King Biondello to annul the prohibition of the sunnism.

1723
''' The Arabian famine ends but the effects linger on... '''
 * The Vietnamese and their vassals continue on their campaign of military expansion. The Vietnamese launch a naval blockade on mainland Joseon, severing the connection with their colonies. The Joseon Navy, weakened from decades of neglect and with a majority of its ships scrapped, stands little chance of breaking the blockade.
 * Persia: Persia manages to finish the road project within the country and is begining to connect the highway with the Russians and Chinese. It also asks Hanthawaddy to establish trade relations through sea trade.
 * Yemen sends their diplomats to  Persia , offering them a trade agreement: Will sell iron ore for leather. They also expand north-west.
 * effects of the Napolitan war continue in Greece.more refugees flee to Tripolitania, and the ensuing overpopulation leads Greece (via Hungary) to ask for buying territories of the neighboring Swedish colony and Tunisia.Meanwhile, the Hungarian King Géza dies, and is succeeded by his son Zoltán, crowned as Zoltán II.Neos Preveza expands 500 sq km inland west.Újfundladn és a Labnrador expands 2550 sq km inland on its main island.
 * Finland continues to build up their military, and continue to build and improve some infrastructure. Finland also expands their new colony 50km inward.
 * Ethiopia (much to its pleasent surpise) discovers Naples to be a almost fanatical zealous nation. The Emperor sends word to Naples, asking their support in an upcoming invasion of the Islamic nation of Sennar, to Ethiopia's west. They also make the same proposal to the Hungarians (whom they found in control of much of Egypt).
 * The Anglo-German Commonwealth, in an attempt to make their people more literate, decides to copy the French early education system. The schooling is free, but for farmers only goes up to 13 (as by this time children are needed as help in agriculture). Citygoers become much more educated, however, and their are questions whether ruling by 'Imperial Decree' is the best system.
 * I'm not the one to usualy judge, but wasnt free public education for children a response to child labour in industrial factories? -Lx
 * The Russians Give the Secret to the Penza rifling to Finland, and the secret to the steam engine, as part of the Confederation. Peter Orders that each Gubernatorial Capital have at least two secondary schooling institutions. More and more iron mills apear in central Russia and one appears in Villnus. So far the textile factory in Nizhny Novgorod reamins he only one in Russia, let alone the world. Novorossiya expands 3000km inland towards the great lakes, while canada only does so 500 px inland. Russia is becoming a refuge for muslims persecuted in Neapolitain colonies. Most settling in Kazakhstan Armenia or OTL Tatarstan.
 * France offers a cooperative education system to the Commonwealth, in which the both countries will share the new technologies, as expansion of the trade agreement. France will sell to the Commonwealth books and knowledges of the french and arabs (like military strategies), plus some resources like haitian sugar free military training of the Commonwealth's recruits in french and egyptian Army Schools, in exchange, the Commonwealth will share information and technologies with France. The french empire builds up its military. In the Parliament, Voltaire becomes Prime Minister, increasing the seats and powers of the people in the french policy. France offers to Yemen, Persia, Egypt (Hungary), Jerusalem (Naples) and Ethiopia create a organization to manage the trade and foreign relation in the Arabic Peninsula. The organization also will serve as support for the Islam and a fundamental pillar for the relationships between the Middle East countries. The missionaries are still causing problems to the government, in Tunisia more than anything.
 * Yemen agrees to join the organisation and hereby signs the document of doing so.
 * Rebellions in the south of Hanthawaddy spread along the Irrawaddy River Valley as far south as Pegu near the mouth of the river and as far north as Sagaing. The leader of the rebellion, known simply as U Kyan, writes a manifesto justifying Burmese independence and creation of the Union of Hanthawaddy, criticizing the idea of a multi-ethnic empire, and mobilizing the people. This is also in response to the fact that Mons, for hundreds of years, had begun to be slowly displaced from the South of Burma, and settled in Bengal and other areas of the Empire of Hamthawaddy. Emperor Gaganjit does not receive the manifesto well, and declares full-on war. He attempts to invade Hanthawaddy through the mountains and then the sea, but is pushed back by the sheer force of the Union armies. Kumbasem (near Kulin) expands west along the coast at 1300 sq km.
 * The Chinese Emperor dies without naming an heir. A gigantic funeral, the largest in history as of 1723. Despite his producing of multiple offspring, the family starts bickering over who is the rightful leader of China. While the fighting is bloodless, it creates a scandal of legitimate and illegitimate heirs claiming the crown. In the end, an already sucessful heir is appointed King by an election among the family. The Chinese infrastructure improves in both mainland China and the overseas colonies.
 * Naples continues to fight the war in the colonies. KIng Biondello refuses the proposal offered to him by Jean and the Caliph, stating that he will not change his policies due to the rebellious and murderous actions of infidels. He refuses to sell any land to Greece. He tells Ethiopia that Naples will support the Ethiopians in the war with Sennar, due to his support of that Christian nation. A trade route between Ethiopia and Naples is supported. The armies in Tunisia and Jerusalem continue the genocidal war.
 * Spain continues upgrading its roads and navy, with the last of the ships being completed. Spain secretly prepares to invade Portugal in 1724, begining to mobilise its army and navy.
 * lets hope that this invasion of portugal doesnt go eldwolf.
 * Stop comparing him to Eldwolf! Playing as the same nation makes him no more likely to be a troll than someone playing as any other nation. If I were Spain's player, I would be offended that you assume he is a troll because he plays as the same nation a troll did. Stop, seriously!
 * Thank you, whoever said that.
 * I meant that as a joke!
 * ​Sweden and Scotland upgrade their militaries. Sweden expands Asgard by 2750sqkm.

1724

 * Naples: The Neapolitan forces gain more ground against the rebels in Tunisia and Jerusalem, killing thousands of civilians in the process, including a few non-Muslims. However, the constant warfare against the Muslim world has begun to show signs of becoming unpopular among the highly taxed people of Naples. The anti-Muslim frenzy that occured after the martyrdom of King Angelo has died out by now.
 * Persia: Persia finishes connecting the parts of the highway with Russia and China. It also signs trade agreements with Hanthawaddy and talks about a possible invasion of the Mughals.*China already invaded and destroyed the Mughals.
 * But you didn't even divided the territory.that's why it wasn't added on the map.the only clue that i have is Hanthawaddy's territory, but, the Commonwealth should get any territory?if yes, which?and Persia?
 * I am currently drawing the map, though I have been extremely busy lately.
 * The Vietnamese and their vassals continue their campaign of military expansion.
 * The offer for buying territory from Tunisia or the Swedish colony stays up.eventually, the offer to Sweden is withdrawn because no answer was received.The situation complicates, with the military on Tripolitania claming for war, and Michael trying to avoid it by all means available,However, popular support for a war is very strong, although the equipment is a bit outdated.Jews continue to arrive to Greece from Jerusalem.Meanwhile, at Hungary, already tired of the situation between Naples, Hungary and Greece, King Zoltán declares that his nation holds no responsibility for Greece's decisions, essentially abandonging Greece in case of war, and disencouraging Michael even more.Hungary continues upgrading the military.Neos Preveza expands 750 sq km inland, Ufundlandi expands 1400 sq km on its main island, and Dél-Afrika expands 900 sq km.
 * Yemen is very unhappy that, after they sent diplomats to Naples and Persia, to offer trade agreements, these diplomats had to wait over one year, and still didn't receive any response. Therefore, Yemen issues an embargo agaist Naples and Persia. They also extend their boundaries north-east.
 * The ambitious Swedish king is unable to resist the tempations of the Incan rumors. He marshals the fleets and sails into South America and invades the Incan Empire. The Southern part of the Empire where the invasion occurs reminds Charles of Norway and he declares he shall name the new Swedish dominion Fjordland. Asgard is expanded by 3050 sqkm. Scotland continues military development. A part of the Swedish fleet goes off course and lands in Hawaii. The Joseon govenor is panicing as the Joseon king has not contacted him for ages. The governor is told the situation and accepts that the Joseon Empire will collapse. He eventually asks to join the Swedish Empire rather than become easy pickings for the Vietmanese or Chinese. Hawaii is incorporated into the colony of Asgard. Meanwhile Swedish blacksmiths are on the verge of a breakthrough with the steam engines...
 * Finland continues to build up their military, and continue to build and improve some infrastructure. Finland also expands their new colony 50km inward.
 * France builds up its military. Voltaire publish a book about the separation between the State and the Church, proposing stop the religious racism and policy in the whole Empire, but respecting all the religions. The Caliph asks the Pope and the King of Naples to be rational. Meanwhile, his heir commands a great horde of muslims to Tunisia, and send assasins to murder the Pope. The Caliph asks for an allaince with Ethiopia. The Caliph strts new relationships with the foreign muslim nations, inviting their leaders to the Hajj (this includes Yemen and Persia). Some schmittists rebels in Haiti invade Ricasolia to support their muslim brothers in Algeria and Arabia.
 * Naples: The attack on the Pope injured him, but failed to kill him. The Pope excommunicates the king of France until the King tries to stop the anti-Neapolitan rebellions within his empire. King Biondello has all of the Ricasolian Schmittists transported to Istoias, however, once there, the Istoiasan Schmittists are horrified that the Schmittists in the Caribbean were so violent, and have them isolated in a distant part of the colony where they will not be a bad influence. The genocide continues, the assassination attempt against the Pope destroyed whatever chance of peace may have arisen from the calming of the anger over Angelo's death. The Governor of Jerusalem, wanting more forces to fight the Muslims there, begins to encourage Jews from across Europe (other than Greece) to travel to Jerusalem to drive out the occupyers on their Holy Land. Many Jews do begin to travel to Jerusalem, and join in on the genocide to attempt to drive the Muslims away.
 * You do know that the more that you encourage the revolts to occur, the longer and more brutal they will be? I am beginning to doubt that I will be realistically capable of making any situation that doesn't end in almost all of the Sunni Muslims in these two colonies being wiped off the face of the earth.
 * Russia seems not to like this genocide and provides official shelter for the Muslims escaping genocide. The Patriarch of Moscow will willingly accept the King of France and the into christian orthodoxy. more and more refugees form the middle east in mass numbers, many fleeing genocide.
 * Why do the Pope excommunicate the King of France, who was always against this act of rebelliousness? Though the King of France and the Caliph will be always allies of Russia and the russian domains, the king is still roman and the Pope is being ireasonable. He asks his aunt Lucentia to reincorporate France, the faithful and eternal ally of Naples and Rome, into the glorious grace of the Church. The prince of Arabia sends word to the Pope and the King of Naples: "I do not wanna start a war between your principality and my father's, and less a war with our protector France and Rome. I only ask the King to be reasonable and stop this ungodly and nosense genocide, to start again the peace between Rome and Mecca. As Mohammed is relative to Jesus, the Catholicism and islam can be brothers".
 * Chantuk Raballiyah becomes a leading member of Itsaygahi's military class. He calls for the streamlining of inefficient bureaucratic government, a redrawing in the boundaris of power in Itsaygahan society, and a reduction in the powers of the increasingly autocratic monarchy. The new King Ehkago I does not react well to this, and dismisses the Royal Body, Itsaygahi's Parliament
 * China declares war on, and invades, the Incan Empire with Sweden. They have their eyes on OTL Chile and parts of Argentina, though an ambitious assault on Cuzco is proposed. Several Chinese warships make the trek across the Pacific, reaching and setting up several camps along the East Incan shore.
 * Ethiopia happily accepts Naples' trade proposal, and soon raw resources from Africa are being sent to Naples. And just to win more support from Naples, the Emperor issues an issue decree that all Muslims must leave Ethiopia. Meanwhile, Ethiopia declares war on, and invades Sennar with Naples' support. Sorry-I'm kind unsure of how to do a war- I'm going to start writing it on the Talk page but I'll make some mistakes.
 * Spain declares war on Portugal, launching a diversionary attack in the south east corner of Portugal. This attack reaches the south west corner of the Iberian Peninsula. This causes the Portugese army to rush south to defend, opening the way for the main Spanish army, led by the Ranger corps, attacking from the north. After much fighting with the disoriented Portugese army, the coastal city of Oporto is taken. King Phillip orders a reorganisation of tactics to further confuse the Portugese army.
 * The Hanthawaddy Union gains the favor of the Rajah of Toeh Ngoa Nyoing. Chauhhpiu, long a cultural island, declares independence from Hanthawaddy as the Free City of the White Elephant, writing a constitution that incorporates some elements of European politics. Imperial Hanthawaddy's economy plummets to the point that it is dependent on aid from generally wealthy Ngenkeh. Haklon expands south at 500 sq km.
 * The Russian Tsar Condemns the Genocides made by the Neopolitains. Peter Officialy declares Kazakhstan a safe heaven for all sunni Muslim Refugees. The influx of refugies is already starting, as over one million have already migrated to Kazan and Kazakhstan. The Russians start slowing trade with naples. The Muscovian Patriarch, head of the Russian Orthodox church, hearing of the injustice dopne to the king of France, offers him a place in the Orthodox christian community, along with the entire french nation(note that russia does not give a rat's ass about what he pope says, they're orthodox not catholic). Russia starts to welcome more african muslims into the Kazakhstani comunity. Meanwhile, canada expands 3500 km towards the great lakes via the St lawreence river.

Bout the map...LAke ontario's the other lake, the one you put the iroquois is lake erie...-Lx
 * Naples: The old Pope dies from complications of his wounds, and the new Pope undoes the excommunication of the king of France, claiming the old Pope was too old and irrational to think clearly. Meanwhile, the horrible acts of genocide in Jerusalem has resulted in so many Sunni Muslims being dead or having fled the nation that there is not a large enough population to successfully revolt against the government. However, the new Pope is a much more liberal man, and convinces the Neapolitan governor to help the Sunni leave Jerusalem, instead of just killing them. In Tunisia the genocide was less effective, and many Sunnis still revolt, however, the governor ends the genocide on the condition that the revolts stop as well Vast new swathes of land are open in Jerusalem, and many non-Greek Jews continue emigrating to that area to live on the newly open land. Queen Lucentia sends word to Sweden that she will send the forces currently in Tunisia and Jerusalem to help against the Incas, due to the genocide having been ended and the violence having stopped. She states that Naples will take whatever territory is left over to take.
 * Persia: Persia begins to open trade routes to the west and allows western arts and architecture to be adopted in the country. Also, it invites Russian leaders to ask them about the Ottoman Empire and asks whether they should destroy them or not.
 * I'm pretty sure the ottomas are either dead or somebody's vassal, however, I would fancy some land in the new warlord states...but I cant agree to war alone anymore, Finland has to consent.
 * Currently, they were toppled and replaced with Turan. Persia doesn't have any borders with the Turans, however, maybe they should concentrate on Shahrzur (in which one more war should take them out) instead
 * France builds up its military. The king joins the war against the Incas. The prince Selim becomes Caliph and declares that all muslim who still in revolt is an heretic, lessen the rebellions in Tunisia. The king also decides it is time to expand the Empire in Africa, and declares war on New Shongay to annex it. The king and the caliph are really sorry because of the previous neapolitan issues, and donate several quantities of money and resources to the Church. Meanwhile, Voltaire becomes schmittist, and the duke Pierre dies, leaving his title as Duke of Malounias and Terre de Feu to the heir of the throne: Robert.
 * The new Pope wishes to meet with the Caliph Selim to bring an end to the Muslim vs. Christian violence.
 * The Caliph accords a meeting with the Pope to end the "war" He also start to planing the Second Crusade for the next decade.
 * The crisis continues.parts of the army stationed on Tripolitania start to plan a attack on Naples without permission of the King.the plan is discovered, but virtually no action is taken initially.already trying to avoid a war, Zoltán intervenes on Greece, basically making Michael a figurehead while he takes the actual decisions. with the problems on Tripolitania, he, at discovering the plan, exonerates all the military involved on this, including soldiers.most are exiled to Ezsák-Afrika, while transporting the muslims fleeing from naples to Egypt via Tripolitania becomes the standard procedure.relations with the Papal states are reestabilished, Meanwhile, on Hungary, inspired on the French parliament, Zoltán creates the Council of Nobles, to fu nction as the french parliament, but totally subordinated to the king.initially, only the higher nobles can be part of the Council.Neos Preveza expands 1500 sq km inland and along the coast, and Ezsák-Afrika, due to the influx of "settlers", expands 550 sq km.Dél-Afrika expands 1000 sq km.
 * Yemen expands north-east and does not sign cooperation treaty with France. Therefore, they establish new villages in their newly taken territories.
 * The Vietnamese and their vassals continue their campaign of military expansion leading to the upcoming war.
 * Finland continues to build up their military, and continue to build and improve some infrastructure. Finland also expands their new colony 50km inward.
 * The King's attempt to enforce his will on the vassals leads to war. He does not have the organisational ability to run the entire realm in times of war, and summons the Royal Body again. The military group demands that the vassals have seats in the Royal Body, so the Body is dismissed again.
 * Ethiopia thanks Naples for sending its support in the war with Sennar, and asks for a formal alliance with Naples. Much to Ethiopia's pleseant suprise, Sweden, the Netherlands, Scotland, and Estonia have al sent support. Ethiopia sends formal requests to establish trade routes with those nations as well as Russia and Hungary.
 * The Russians agree to attempt to trade with Etheopia, but are worried due to etheopia's lack of sea border. Peter I of Russia, during one of his sea voyages that he loves so much, viewieng much of the Baltic, spots a shipwreck. He orders his crew to search for survivors. The crew obey their "Kapitan"(Peter was famous for asking not to b called emperor while he was on a ship, but simply captain, or sir.). Peter was not excluded from the action. Peter, seeing a sailor stranded in the water, leaps out of his lifeboat, into the freezig waters of the Baltic to save him. Upon his return to St Petersburg, he falls ill. He falls ill of a sore flu that is worse than anything that he ever had to overcome before, and it got the better of him. Peter dies. Upon his deathbed, he is famous for his words while naming a final successor, while lyuing there. Feeling the end is near, he orders his secretary to fetch a pen and paper and write what he says: "leave everything to..." and falls into a sleep from witch he will never awaken. Soonafter, Catherine, his wife, will crown herself empress of all the russias by right of next of kin, as she was proclaimed co-ruler along with Peter. Thus starts the century of women. Meanwhile, 10 days of mourning are proclaimed. Novorossiyais expanded 3000 km inland, and canada 500km towards the great lakes. Meanwhile, the first Steel plant opens up in Minsk, Riga, Irkutsk, and Nicolaevsk. People are thinking about bringing the steam engine to novorossiya and Canada and Novaya Kamchatka
 * The Spanish navy sails around to the port of Oporto, to pick up troops and the Ranger corps for the assault on Lisbon. when the Spanish army arrives in Lisbon, they find it largely undefended, due to the confusion in the Portugese army, caused by the multiple attacks from Spain. They take the city within a week, deposing the government, and causing the King of Portugal to send messengers to the army commanders, telling them to surrender, as the capital has fallen, and Portugal becomes part of Spain. However, there is still some resistance from some cities and guerrilla warfare from underground movements, and it is expected to take at least two more years to remove all these movements.
 * The Hanthawaddy Union request an alliance to Anglo-Germany, hoping the technology of the area will benefit the new government. Hpasem is renamed U Kyan City. Imperial Hanthawaddy expands irs economy, hoping to increase the Union's dependence on it. It also offers incentives for Mons to move to the Brahmaputra River valley and protect Mon culture.
 * China takes more Incan land, focusing on surrounding Cuzco and starving it of resources. In the meantime, the Chinese infrastructure drastically improves.
 * Sweden sends some military aid to Spain with Scotland and Estonia and Netherlands give supplies. Sweden crushes a disorganized portion of the Incan Army. By now the Incan coastline and Southern areas have fallen. Sweden launches a daring attack on Cuzco with its elite Norweign Mountain Rangers. These troops are trained in the harshest winter mountain conditions in Norway. They infiltrate the city and allow it to fall from within. The panicked Incan King evacuates to Quito. Sweden produces its first steam engine and the king is joyous. New sweden is expanded by 3050sqkm as the seized Incan lands form the seventh Swedish colony of Southlaand. Sweden encourages Spain or Hanthawaddy to join the war to gain OTL Ecuador and Northern Peru.
 * The Governor of New Hanthawaddy states it will offer minor support, asking Sweden to hold onto the territory until the situation in Burma improves. Hanthawaddy will allow Sweden to retain all rights, including that to mine gold in the territory including and to the north of OTL Chiclayo, with no limit on how far inland, until Hanthawaddy can afford to take it over.

1726

 * Neapolitan forces assail the south-eastern part of the Incan Empire, attacking OTL southern Chile. Meanwhile, Queen Lucentia begins to increase the volume of trade with foreign nations, resulting in a growing merchant class. The anti-Islamic feelings in Naples have died down, and in fact the exposure to the Muslim world has resulted in many Arabic-style art movements beginning to become very popular within Naples. Jerusalem and Tunisia have pretty much settled down by this time. Many Jews continue to arrive in Jerusalem, and now make up 40% of the population.
 * Persia: Persia once again declares war against Shahzrur. It manages to catch troops by suprise and begin invading towns and villages nearby.
 * The Vietnamese and their vassals continue their campaign of military expansion to prepare for the upcoming war with Joseon.
 * A messenger arrives with a warning "Ireland may have fallen and so has Jerusalem but Joseon shall not, we warn you the northern confederacy and the Crusaders will smite your forces and crush your people. Their blood will be spilt in return for your actions." Back in Venice, Milan and the Crusader States vietnamese and those accused of being so are publicly executed in violent manners, the most popular is having their jaw ripped off and then slowly being dissected while under a strong natural painkiller.
 * The Vietnamese respond by cutting off trade with the Italian states and their Crusader puppets. They also deport any Venetian merchants in Vietnam they can find. In revenge of the innocent Vietnamese citizens slaughtered by meddling Venetians, they execute any Venetian merchant who resists deportation by taking a page out of Wallachia's infamous Vlad the Imapler. Unlike the Venetian mob killings, they do so without an form of painkillers.
 * The Vietnamese recieve a letter detailing that "Vietnamese blood will spill beyond the Venetian borders ... that no Vietnamese will feel safe as long as they continue to occupy european land"
 * Why is it that the Italian states cannot keep their noses out of Vietnamese business?
 * It began as a religious and political fued and now has developed into something more after the Vietnamese invasion of Ireland and the subsequent thumbed noses at Venice.
 * I assume that Neapolitan & Papalini trade was not cut off and Neapolitan & Papalini merchants were not killed, because Naples (and its vassal Papal States and puppet Jerusalem) are still good allies of Vietnam and never interfered with Vietnam's affairs at all.
 * The Vietnamese have ceased their expansion in Europe. The Venetians need to stop thinking of themselves as "Team Venice: Europe Police". Clearly you have learned nothing from your earlier banning. Let me make myself clear. You are not the master of this game. You do not get to dictate what people do in it. You are taking the fun out of his game with your temper tantrums.
 * Heh. You are currently the only one throwing a temper tantrum. I am playing out Venice, you made yourself their enemy and now have to deal with it. Venetians and North Italians alike hate the Vietnamese and now the new government uses this to bring order again. Pointing the finger at an easy suspect, Vietnam. Also its "Venice: Europe Liberation Force, GO!" Plus Venetian traders are unlikely to be in Vietnam, trade ended a long time ago, Vietnamese however could easily be in Venice considering how easy it is to get there and the fact that trade with Ireland never ended until now.
 * Naples sends word to Venice that they should not fight Vietnam, the Vietnamese are fellow Christians, the Koreans are not. Naples was planning to send aid to Vietnam, but is unsure due to the Vietnamese apparently thinking Naples is their enemy...
 * The Vietnamese Emperor sends apologies to Naples, as the Neapolitan executions had been done by Vietnamese citizens angered by the murders of their friends and relatives in Venice, which has begun to be referred to by the Vietnamese as " ", or "City of Blood" in Vietnamese. The Vietnamese Emperor personally sends letters to the relatives of the Neapolitans killed, along with gifts of valuable heirlooms as peace offerings.
 * Naples calms back down, but states that they are afraid that they will be unable to send supplies for the war in Korea due to too many other wars.
 * The Koreans can be reasoned with replies Venice. Venice also notes that Ireland was a jewel of the christian faith with little straying but a tad away from it, Vietnam essentially ended that and now Venice shall have to make up for the loss of faith in catholocism. They also point out that Korea can be influenced and Venice was plunged into chaos before it had a chance, Naples should think carefully before regarding the Vietnamese as true christians.
 * Naples' ambassadors state that Joseon itself is not threatened, only their colonies are threatened. Sweden took the Korean colony of Hawaii, yet Venice is not challenging them. Therefore, Venice should stay out of the war in the east as long as Vietnam does not attack Joseon itself.
 * The Council of Nobles is reorganized into a Low and a High Chamber, with the Low Chamber being reserved for the low-ranking nobles, the zemans, and the High Chamber for the high-ranking nobles, which already were on the original Nobles' Council.each noble family has right to one representant on the council.Hungary updates its military, including the one on the garrisons of Öböl.Meanwhile, in Greece, Zoltán once again asks Naples for a more complex non-aggression pact, on the objective of avoiding a war with Naples.back in Egypt, the situation begins to stabilize,both Uruguay and Öböl expands 800 sq km towards each other.Neos Preveza expands 1450 sq km.
 * Naples agrees to sign the pact, although they don't know why the Greeks are always so scared of a nation that never threatened them at all
 * Yemen expands north-east and continues to prepare their army for invasion of rival tripes in Arabia.
 * After 35 months of fighting in Sennar, Ethiopia makes an uneasy peace agreement with Sennar, and takes the easternmost tenth of Sennar's territory. The Nobles, and wealthy landlords who ruled this area are Christianized and sent to seize the area aournd OTL Assab in the name of Ethiopia. Emperor Bakaffa has plans to build a new capitol city on the coast there.
 * Yemen sends Ethiopia a military aid of 1'000 spearmen to help them in their expansion.
 * Ethiopia responds by requesting a trade agreement.
 * Yemen accepts the offer and establishes the trade route between Aden and their city.
 * Finland continues to build up their military, and continue to build and improve some infrastructure. Finland also expands their new colony 50km inward.
 * The troops of the Duke Robert of Terre de Feu and Voltaire start to invade the southern Inca Empire. Meanwhile, the Order of Saint Robert, led by Jean III invades New Songhay and starts to bombard thw ports and asault the strongholds, while the missionaries are beginning to convert he native popultion to Catholicism and Schmittism and the new-caliphal Islam. France builds up its military adding to its armies new siege weapons and thousands of recruits of the whole empire. Some troops of Arabia and Algeria are sent to Persia to help it against the Shahzur.
 * Songhay is landlocked, you cannot attack it as there is no way your troops can get to it. Do you mean New Songhay? Check the labelled map on the talk page, the African kingdoms part is not out of date. Plus, it is already Muslim, so you cannot convert them to Islam.
 * Corrected.
 * "FOR VENICE, FOR THE TRUE DOGE, FOR GOD!" screams the last Furioso heir. "The times of Venice being ruled by a criminal are over, Now begins the reign of the Ombreggia family!" Venice has been tossing and turning for the last 30 years over the events of the Furioso take over and now they are dead murdered by another Family, the Ombreggia. The recent fighting in the last years was brutal and now rumours of Family take overs have been spread to the other northern states. Venice meanwhile arms itself, with new weapons and tactics, also they begin construction of a new navy. Venice is back and with new management
 * Naples is glad that Venice has recovered. The Pope apoligizes, stating that the nobleman controlling the Crusader state of Jerusalem had turned against the Church, and that he was replaced and now Jerusalem is under the control of the Papal states and Naples. However, he notes that a large chunk of the Papal states that borders Venice broke away to form the nation of Fuzzolia, and that Countess Giovanna Fuzoli would gladly make her nation a vassal under Venetian rule, similar to how Milan is in relation to Venice.
 * The Doge receives Naples well and accepts the joining of Fuzolia into the confederacy. They are angered about the death of the Nobleman and demands that his body is returned to Venice, so he may have a burial as a warrior and hero of Venice.
 * The Nobleman was not excecuted and allowed to return to Venice, but it appears that he might have crashed and died on the way if Venice never recieved him.
 * The King Jean III of France and Egypt is just delighted with the return of the venetian order: "The french people has miss its faithful and supportive ally, and we hope start the alliance, trade and friendship between our countries again". The caliph Selim I of Algeria travels to Venice to ask the new doge his position about the religious discrimination between ctholics and muslim.
 * The Doge replies inclined, saying that France can expect Venice to be able to assist it and that Egypt will now have a large trade route now applied to it. They also add that the Catholics and the Muslims are treated equally in trade however now that the new Church of Venice (catholic based) has been made, Venetian citizens who are Venetian Class have to adopt the religion however Italian Class, Citizen Class and Resident Class citizens do not have to.
 * The King of Itsaygahi calls the Royal Body again, agreeing to accept Vassal's seats in the Body. However, the demands of the Body are unpalatable, and the mobs growing in the major cities of Itsaygahi are particularly worrying, so he takes the feudal loyalist lords in the Body and sets up a new Body in the solidly loyal Seminole areas. Itsaygahi is one the verge of civil war.
 * who is fighting who here btw?
 * On one side is the vassals, the military officer class, the Marcher Lords and the merhcant trading class of the Charter Port Cities. On the other is the King, the nobility, the Church, the Seminole majority areas, and many of the older towns.
 * Tensions between Imperial Hanthawaddy and the Hanthawaddy Union subside, although there are still minor naval conflicts. Hanthawaddy updates its economy, and Haklon expands south at 1400 sq km.
 * Spain: After having defeated Portugal, king Phillip orders the rangers back to their feifs, except for two, who he sends with the army to the New Incan Empire, to assist the nations fighting there.
 * Sweden secures Cuzco and the Incan Empire is on the verge of defeat. The Norweign Mountain Ranger troops prepare an attack on the mountain fortess of Quito and the other Swedish troops have along with the Napolitian, Spainish, French and Chinese; secured the entire Inccn Empire up to Southern Peru. Sweden starts to create more steam engines and based on previous successful designs, make 4 more over the year. Sweden expands New Sweden by 3050sqkm.
 * As a gift to china, the Empress of Russia gives china a steam engine, its designs, and how to work it, so they can reproduce for work in its capital. Seeing that there are more genocides centering out of the italian peninsula, the Russian Empress frowns upon this in anger, and updeates the military for possible action. Novorossiya expands 3000 km inland. Meanwhile, the iroquois expand their territory of influence further south. the first factories are made in Lithuania, and in kazakhstan's capital already three mills have been built.
 * China thanks Russia. Work on the steam engine begins immediately, though many scholars scorn the use of the steam engine. Nevertheless, ideas for use of the steam engine flood in. The most daring idea: a vehicle powered by the steam engine!

1727
''' Disaster strikes Persia as the ground under Tabriz buckles and breaks swallowing buildings whole. The entire city is left in ruins and estimates state there are at least 80,000 dead.

Small amounts of production have started on the Capitol (though mass building of building there won't start until next year. The city is to be modeled after Naples or St. Petersburg.

He says goodbye to his wife Lucentia and his sons Romeo and Benvolio and daughter Maria. He then sets sail toward South America. He arrives at the Neapolitan areas, and then takes control of the Neapolitan army. The army moves through the Incan territory easily, and soon most of Patagonia has been conquered. Alas, for the army became too overstretched, and they are surrounded. Biondello and his forces fight valiantly, but they are all killed. The Neapolitan forces are forced back down to the coastal areas of eastern Patagonia, crushed by this great loss of a great leader.
 * Yemen expands north-east. But no major changes in government happen.

 * The Venetians warn that should free Japan be touched, Venice will fight, it will not lay still as the devils of the east calling themselves Christian destroy another nation.

 * The Vietnamese respond by stating that they "will not easily bow to the rabid murderous thugs of the west calling themselves Christian."
 * Venice continues to demoralise the Vietnamese of Europe after Privateers begin to cut off a majority of trade ships, those that are captured are dealt with brutally. The hero of Jerusalem returns to Venice alive and declares his son the new ruler of the north holy land. Fuzoli impressed by Venice and their offer however wanting to remain slightly independent, joins the confederacy in a manner similar to Milan. Venice manufactures a huge war fleet of the greatest new ship in the navy, the Venetian ship of the line, this continues to greatly improves their military standing. Venice also has a religious surge into the Church of Venice, the ideal being about conversion of others.

He attempts to do the same in Algeria, Arabia and the colonies, but the local governors don't allow him to do it.

 * Egypt accepts the French offer.
 * Incan Empire: The Incan Empire, after decades of isolation, begins to expand once more and begins looking for allies around te world. Pleas with te nations of the world to stop attacking te Inca and to withdraw from te Empire are sent out to every nation that will take notice.
 * Currently the Incan Empire is mostly in disarray and being massively invaded, the only part you could control would be the tiny light gray part in OTL Peru. You could probably expand it some through the dark grey parts, but not enough to unite the empire in time to stop the invasion
 * Ethiopia attempts to convince some of the nations that are invading the Inca so stop, but does not put any real diplomatic, economic, or military pressure on anyone.
 * All out war breaks out between the King and the Royal Body of Itsaygahi. The Kingdomis split, roughly East-West. The King has the most immediate upper hand, controlling the capital and some of the most established areas of the country as opposed to the frontier nature of much of the land under the Royal Body. However, the Marcher Lords, the Vassals and the Military class have more troops to draw upon and can wage war more effectively compared to the King's more antiquated ceremonial troops.

They are used to achieve superhuman feats of energy and help lift the final blocks of the Stockholm Cathedral which is completed at last. The chatedral rivals the one in Moscow and towers over all but the lighthouse. The Netherlands lays claim to Northern Flanders and attempts to persuade the ruler to join the Netherlands.

 * It's not just Sweden attacking the Inca, China, Naples, and France are all attacking the Incas as well.
 * Check the algorythm. Your post is implausable and Sweden's coalition has trumped your empire. If you had turned up every turn and not sprouted implausability then the Empire might have survived. It's too late, the coalition will take everything.
 * Sweden rejects any offer by the Incan Empire.
 * Gananora is fully built, as a modern city in Italian style (modeled after Naples, Venice, and other European cities) with 'Public' Healthcare and schools (only the richest 20% of Ethiopian society receive these 'Public' things. Many citizens are promised Public Healthcare and Public Schools if they settle new lands South of Ethiopia. The program is a success, and Ethiopia's southern border expands 1000 km south (though the immigrants will still have to wait for those things).
 * ok...Public healthcare, public schooling and many governement social security programs were made because of the Industrial REvolution, Etheopia's not even close to that! It was beond peoples wildest dreams to have fre schools and medical expenses, now you're just pushing the limits of plausibility! \i wil post the same thing on the talk page
 * As I explained, these programs were public only in name. They were actually only available to the richest people. Real public Healthcare and Public Schools will probably only arrive in the 20th century (at least in Ethiopia).
 * France asks Egypt an alliance to join its project to a final war against the Mamluks. In new Songhay, the prince-duke Robert invades the main cities and starts to recruit militias and set free slaves. In the incan empire, the mainly schitimittist and christian troops invade the southern Patagonia and strt to sign alliances with local tribes. Haiti is expanded 2300 sqkm. As descendant of the king of Burgundy, the king Jean III offers a deal to Spain: The french will recognise the spanish conquest of the burgundian Algeria if Spain supports the french claimings on the throne of Flanders and its war against New Songhay. France also will give technologies and weapons to Spain.
 * Naples continues its war against the Incas, attacking the many Incan cities. The primitive south Americans are no match for the Europeans, yet the Neapolitans are demoralized and are unable to fight as well as they would otherwise.
 * Inca Diplomacy: The Inca beg for the nations of the world to stop invading them asking China and other nations to remember the Inca's aid in the war against the agressive Hathawady, in which China itself was invaded and asked for the Inca's help, and that France and Naples were both on China's side during the Hathawady-Chinese Coalition War (i cant remember the actual name of that war), and that sicne they were on CHina's side, they were on the Inca's side as well.
 * Naples has never fought on the side of the Incan Empire in any war. They demand territory, at least the size of OTL Ecuador, to create a Christian land within South America.
 * France asks the Inca government to give it the eastern coast (not all of it, just a half or quarter in the south) and recognise its rights on Terre de Feu and Malouinas. If the Inca Empire does it, France and its vassals will abandond their intentions to going to war and will be friend and allies (economical and military) of the Inca Empire and successors.
 * [[File:Division_of_inca.png|thumb|left|108px|division of inca as set forth by the incan empire red=naples
 * IncaDivision2.png Neapolitans send their own plan for the division of the Empire, which was agreed upon by Sweden and China as well:
 * Incan Diplomacy: Seeing that the Inca will still be alive, millions of Incan soldiers, civillians and ordinary people take nothing but there most prized possessions and migrate to the reaminder of the Incan Empire. As much gold and silver as possible is taken to the Inca remainder, or about 78% of all of the gold and silver thanks to huge casts pulled by lamas and horses. The Inca grudgingly agree to the border offer but agree that at least the Inca still exist. 89% of all the Incan People moved to the remainder of the the free Incan Empire while the rest are heald prisoner by the Europeans. The Incan Emperor asks that the remaining 11% of the people be able to migrate to the remaining piece of the Incan Empire. When the Inca people reach there newhome, they begin to vigorously move into the uninhabited woods and jungles surrounding the Incan State, expanding the Empire to the west and north, as the free state that is all that remains of the once great empire is to small, forcing the people to expand into the surrounding jungles and forests. Angry a the Emperor and the Incan gods for having them being colonated twice, the emperor is killed and the Incan Republic procliamed from the new Incan capital of Quito, and the old religous order is destroyed with Orthodox Chistianity being embraced as the new Incan Reilgion.
 * By the Inca people leaving, do you mean all people who dwelt in those lands, or only ethnic Incas?
 * Everyone, because all are terrified of the europeans.
 * There is a sudden change in Venetian foriegn policy, the Doge looses power to his growing rival the Capo of the Venetian Merchant guild. There is no change of governance but the Capo essentially takes control. The Capo sends a public note of apology to the Vietnamese telling them that "the Doge lives in the past, being 40 years of age he still remembers the conflicts of times past." but also adds "However your insults to our people will not be forgotten should you try anything against the central wishes of Venice." He also attempts to calm the Venetian aggression towards the Vietnamese and instead manages to redirect it at several other primitive eastern nations. The Capo upgrades the military continuing up the Doges improvements with a new rifle for the Infantry called the Lungo Rifle, it is highly accurate at ranges of 50m however trails off afterwards. There are 4 Arsenals built in the crusader states, while small they hugely improve the economy. Then expands the colony of Nouvo Venetia by 2000 sq km with an influx of people.
 * The Natchez raise an army of the horsemen of the Plains, while the Charter Port Princes convert their trade barges into warships. The allies of the Royal Body are quickly gaining an upper hand over the feudal monarchy and their scions. However, the Grand Army of the Seminole once assembled will be one of the most fearsome military forces on the continent and will be utterly at the King's disposal. The Orthodox Christians declare independence completely and look to place themselves within Russia's sphere.
 * and Russia will gladly accept.
 * China ignores the cries for mercy, though they purposefully do not harm citizens during conquests. In December, the emperor has a change of heart. They request that the Incans are given Peru. Meanwhile, work on the first steam powered vehicle results in tragedy; an inventor attempts to create a 'horseless carriage'. The vehicle goes out of control and crashes into a house in a town near Beijing, where the inventor is from. The vehicle explodes on impact, killing the driver and everyone in the house. The area will later be named 'The Industrial Folly'. Success is reached on more practical use in Beijing though. Textile production increases by nearly 50% in the capital city.
 * The governor of New Hanthawady is pleased to reopen diplomacy with the Inca Empire. He offers special rights to the Incan Empire in the trade of spices in return for ability to settle the Chincha Islands, which are explored during the year, and the harbor at OTL Paita. Fighting reopens in Hanthawaddy as Hamthawaddy invades Pegu, with a large naval attack, retaking the city.
 * Sweden's Norweign Mountain Rangers launch a successful surprize attack on Quito. The Incan Emperor is captured in the attack and the remanents of the Incan Empire fall to the coalition's hands. The land north of the Swedish claim is split between New Hanthawaddy and Spain. The Incan Empire is no more. Meanwhile steam engines a being made in Estonia, Sweden and Norway. They ulitize coal at a frightening speed and smoke billows out. Charles banishes the steam engines from all regional capitals: Stockholm, Olso and Tallinn. Scotland upgrades its military. Netherlands propses to split Flanders between France and itself. Sweden requests to by Iceland and Finnmark from the Hanthawaddian colony yet again as those are traditionally Nordic lands. In return Hanthawaddy is promised half a ton of gold and half a ton of silver as well as unresistricted Mon use of Norweign ports. Asgard expands by 3050sqkm. Sweden constructs a new road system across the nation to allow faster travel. Sweden also offers Russia an alliance. Sweden offers to sell Hilo (the largest Hawaiian island) to China in return for a similar slab of land from the Chinese Andean claim on the Incas.
 * Sweden cant do that, the Inca excepted the Coalitions terms and thus the war ended, so can someone cross his post out? DeanSims 23:30, November 25, 2011 (UTC)
 * Sorry DeanSims, but Spain and Hanthawaddy joined in at the last moment, and with their extra help that last area of the Incas fell as well. It looks like you'll have to get a new nation. You could get Onguayal, that country just to the east of the Incas, and it comes with a vassal already (Manoa) or you could get that new country that formed in Brazil if you want to keep playing in South America. If not, many African nations are open (although I would advise against playing as New Songhay or Sennar), and there are various other independent nations scattered around that you could also get. Hopefully, you will be more active on your next nation so it will be stronger and with more allies.
 * Spain accepts most terms of the French deal and immediately send supplies to aid the French in New Songhay, but King Phillip refuses to support the French claim to Flanders as it will force Spain to go against Sweden. Spain gladly accepts its land in the Incan Empire and plans to send off a colony ship from Cadiz. Spain upgrades its military and improves some infrastructure.
 * Incan Empire: Seeing the oncoming Swedish troops, the of the people of the Incan Empire migrate once more, in fear of the horrors of what the Europeans may do to them, to OTL Venezuala and Colombia, where Orthodox Christianity is the main faith and the Colombian Republic is proclaimed. Russia is asked to help the new Colombia stay free, since both Colombia and Russia are both Orthodox Christian Nations.
 * 232px-Incan_proposal_.pngan tsar Peter II gladly agrees to help the Nation of columbia if they try to spread the glory of orthodox christianity throughout south America via missions to native kingdoms. Russia gladly accepts the orthodox Itsahagian nation into its sphere of influence. Peter tries to update the military. Peter decrees that he will above all else support Finland in some way for whatever conflict and on whatever side they will be on, in grattitude of agreeing to join condederation. Meanwhile. Afrikanskaya Zemlya expands 3000 km along the coast of south Africa.

1729

 * The Vietnamese and their vassals continue to expand their military in preperation for the coming war. The Vietnamese recognize the new Venetian government of Capo Mario Rossi, and re-establish trade and diplomatic contact with the Venetians. The Vietnamese politely request that the Venetians use proper diplomatic channels the next time Vietnam violates their interests. The Vietnamese also give diplomatic recognition to the newly founded Columbian Republic, and effectively re-establish the trade agreements given to the Columbian predecessor state of the Incan Empire (later Incan Republic). The Vietnamese send aid to the Columbian Republic via the Vietnamese colony in South America.
 * The Capo is glad for this reopening of trade and diplomacy.
 * The french Order of Saint Robert, led by Jean III is quickly "setting free" New Songhay, even though the oposition of the high classes and the aristocracy, who are still fighting. Jean III clarifies the king of Spain that he's claiming the burgundian Flanders, a kingdom separated of Burgundy. He is the grand-grandson of the king Robert I of the Burgundians (Robert III of France), so, he has birth right in that land. He will never defy his allied Sweden, a country which was always loyal to its alliances with France. The minister Voltaire follows his previous anti-jewish policies. He travels to CHina and offers a trade agreement to the Emperor. Voltaire starts to learn about chiineses culture. The jewish refuges in the colonies have manage to expand the colonies of Haiti and New France, each one 1150 sqkm.
 * Ethiopia attempts to broaden its economic base, and sends Trade agreement requests to Sweden, Hungary, Persia, Russia, China, and Hanthawaddy. It also proposes to establish formal alliances with Naples and Sweden.
 * Hungary will wait until the Mamluks on Egypt are finished before making a trade agreement, especially ebcause there are almost no trade routes between Egypt and Ethiopia.
 * Persia agrees to this.
 * Sweden will agree to an alliance and as a gesture of goodwill will conquer Adal for Ethiopia to establish a port and trade routes to other nations.
 * Russiawould like trade but is concenred by the lack of etheopean seaports.
 * Yemen continues to expand north-east.
 * Egypt continues to amp up its military.Greece does the same. Troops of both countries are sent to Egypt, and the supported faction also continues to receive weapons from the allied Egyptian government.Hungary sends a offer to Venice, to buy some territory on the Adriatic coast.Újfundlandi és a Labrador expands 1700 sq km inland on its main island, and Uruguay expands 1300 sq km north along the coast
 * Venice asks how much it would like and asks that Venice recieves something more in return than money.
 * Finland continues to build up their military, and continue to build and improve some infrastructure. Finland also expands their new colony 50km inward.
 * The Capo begins plans to colonise land in the east indies, to open eastern trade routes and to give extra resources to the Venetian forces, an esteem merchant asks whether he may lead the expidition, the Capo agrees knowing that a merhcant would be best to build heavy infrastructure. In Venice and surrounding areas the third largest population is Irish, after their fleeing from Ireland during and after the war with Vietnam. Venice also gives support to the Incan Reminants, sending them Lungo Rifles as a sign of goodwill. The Venetian military continues to expand rapidly, with a flood of volunteers, particularly from these Irish areas. The Irish are also utilised in minature Arsenals being built across northern Italy, greatly improving the confederate economy. Nouvo Venetia also continues to expand, growing by 1250 sq km, Cinque Isole also grows by 750 sq km prospering greatly from the Capos leadership.
 * Orthagi graciously accepts Russian protection (This is essentially a Russian colony now, so Russia can do with it as it wills). The King of Itsaygahi is more than willing to let loose an otherwise difficult tributary. The core of Itsaygahi around OTL Georgia and the Carolinas are under siege from land and sea as the powerful Body fleet blockades the King's ports and a powerful army marches into old Tsalagi. However the King is fighting in a fearfully effective way, burning land so the Royal Body can gain no benefit from advance. But it is only a matter of time, as the King's treasury grows smaller and smaller...
 * Venice, wanting security in its trade partners, offers to lend large amounts of money to both sides (so that they can recover quickly and rebuild lands), they can pay back when the land is secure.
 * Incan-Colombian Republic: Improvements on the sorrounding countryside continue to be built and an alliance is porposed between Russia and the Republic. Orthodox Chrsitianty beceomes the State Reilgion.
 * Persia: Tabriz is finally finished rebuilding. But before war can be declared on Shahzrur, they tried to get Naples, China, and Russia to help them.
 * The Hanthawaddy Union defeats Imperial Hanthawaddy at Pegu, safely holding up the city. The Empire then begins a series attacks along the Irrwaddy. Burmans living in Imperial Hanthawaddy are persecuted and sent to Tibet. To make matters worse, Gaganjit dies of cholera in December, without a male heir. His daughter Toyohara Parvati assumes power during the year. Toeh Ngoa Nyoing expands east 1600 sq km near OTL Murmansk.
 * The Burgundian King is death. Therefore, the Burgundian parliament decided after watching the dynastic tree of the pretender, legal, is again the King of France.
 * The king Jean III of the Frencha nd I of the Burgundians accepts the burgundiand throne, and promises tht Burgundy will keep its inependence and own laws. With burgundiand help, the conquest of New Songhay is finished. Burgundy recognises the rights of Spain on West Algeria, but the throne of Flanders is still claimed.
 * Sweden constructs more steam engine and starts to use them in 'factories' were goods are made at an astonishing pace. The road system is improved and links between major cities are all fully paved. Some mountain passes to Western Norway are also paved. Sweden expands its military and sends many of its top surveyors to the Andes. Fjordland expands 3050sqkm towards Manoa.
 * Its only 1730! How can you already have industrial factories?
 * According to the thing, Sweden can develop small factories, but the cottage industry system still will dominate until 1770, with the industrialization on a small scale
 * Notice he put "factories" in quotations, meaning basicaly it like the military steel plants/penza rifle fabrikas and scattered textile factories of Russia-Lx
 * Notice the inverted commas. It's 'factories' not factories. They are tiny compared to modern standards.
 * Thats what I meant by my comment-Lx
 * Spain develops its military and upgrades infrastructure. After landing in OTL Adelaide, the colony ship sets sail for Cadiz and New Spain is expanded by 50 sqkm.
 * Russian Tsar Peter II decrees that for the next 100 years, Russia will protect the Incan peoples from forweign invasion so long as they remain orthodox christian. Novorossiya expands 2000 km inwards, as canada expands 1500km inwards. The Orthagian Nation officialy becomes a protectorate of Russia, and Russia offers to buy the northern Itsahagina land to attempt to connect Novorossiya and Ortagi for a hadsome sum of money and increased trade, along with promising the side that wins the civil war 1000 Penza rifles. Meanwhile, the IWD(institute for Weapons developement) or "Institut dlya razrobotky orudiy"(or IRO in Russian acronym), start thinking about cone-shaped ammo better utilizing the rifling in the barrels, especialy since now they are much more durable and reliable(note that because of the early adoption of rifling this is very well plausible).
 * China amps up its military. Several diamond mines are built in Eastern China, producing wealth for the nation.

1730
''' A massive rebellion, years in the planning, under Leung Yau Man (Liang Yaowen), erupts around Canton in January. The ideology is centered around a strong, centralized state as set down from Confucian ideology. The rebellion spreads very quickly, encompassing the provinces of Guangdong, Guangxi, Fujian, Zhejiang, Anhui, Guizhou, Sichuan, and Chongqing. The rebel leaders quickly overwhelm provincial governments, and attack key facilities. Those found to be disloyal to the new government are quickly executed. Zhu Jingxian, one of Leung's former generals, seizes control of the province of Anhui and begins to massacre the inhabitants, leaving only two-thirds of the original population by the end of the year. '''

''' Yellow Fever strikes in Cadiz, Spain. Meanwhile an earthquake levels Valparaiso, Chile. at least 15,000 are dead. Near the end of the year Beijing is hit by another earthquake and causes widespread devastation. At least 1,000 are dead in this disaster. '''


 * There is a problem here. i highly doubt that Valparaiso exists in this TL.and even if existed, it would be a small village. not enough to have 15000 dead.
 * There are some problems with the map, as far as Ethiopia goes. The area are OTL Assab has been colonized, Adal is now part of Ethiopia, and Ethiopia's border expanded southward a little. Read the previous turns for Ethiopia.
 * I read.although i forgot to add the first and third, you didn't declare war against Adal, never invaded it, didn't annexed it, nor even mentioned it before now to claim it.
 * I guess Adal will have to go on the next map (it was actually Sweden who said they would invade Adal to give it to Ethiopia).
 * Especially because their army is occupied with the Incas.given territory to be taken, terrain and numbers, Adal would take two to four years to be conquered.at best. i suggest that you help Sweden to make Adal's conquering faster.
 * Yes, that's what I planning on doing.
 * @The rebellion in China, is this like a White Lotus Rebellion with Confucian ideals?
 * Ethiopia: With the nation being nearly doubled in the last 5 years (which actually isn't saying much considering how small Ethiopia was), two new alliance, and a newly crowned Emperor Iyasu, military parades ar thrown in Gananora. The new Emperor throws military parades in Sweden(for help in Adal) and Naples(for help in Sennar)'s honor. The New Emperor is also more tolerable to Muslims (though they are still excluded from much of society.
 * The Vietnamese mount an invasion of many of Joseon's colonial territories, heralding the official start of the Korean War. The Vietnamese vassals of New Lithuania and Nippon asist in the war, invading the nearby Korean colonies. The Nipponese invasion of Korean Japan succeeds without Nipponese casulties, as the local Japanese population had harbored increasing resistance to the Korean colonial regime. The Korean colonial regime had grown increasingly harsh in the fifty years since the homeland went into isolation, and had begun to develop a racial caste system with the Korean minority ruling over the Japanese population.
 * I dont mean to speak for finland, but they did want to have some parts of Japan as a colonial posession(just looka at our talk pages), so how bout it, in exchange for support in the war, mabe some northern japan to the Finno-Russian(Russo-Finnic) confederation?
 * I am pretty sure that the whole point of the war was to unite all of Japan under one nation.
 * VENICE INVADES AND WINS THROUGH LASERS! now for the serious post: Venice offers a trade route from newly aquired Venetian india to the Vietnamese so that good. relations are cemented.
 * The Vietnamese, having lost interest in territory in India, offer the Venetians control over Vietnamese territory in India as part of their efforts to warm relations with Venice.
 * Naples is still having a great deal of trouble with their new colony, Vicia, formed out of the Incan territory. They realize that they might have gotten a new colony after not waiting long enough to absorb the last colony, as the recommended period is no more than 2 per 50 years. Therefore, they are now in a small war in the colony. They will be unable to collect any expansion bonus, stability bonus, nor any other effect of gaining a colony, until they are able to stop the rebellion after 50 years have passed since Istoias was founded. Meanwhile, following the tragic death of her husband, Queen Lucentia's health has begun to decline....
 * Yemen continues to expand north-east by the coastline, remaining neutral in the current conflicts of the World.
 * Finishing its rearmament, Egypt declares war on what is left of Mamluk Egypt.Hungary and Greece offer support, while Zoltán travels to the Papal states to talk with the pope about reconigzing the Egyptian-Mamluk War as a Second Mamluk Crusade.the supported faction starts the attacks, along with the Egyptian army.Greece also asks for Swedsh and french support.Despite the fact that Egypt leads the attacks, the command officially is given to Hungary.Meanwhile, expansion on India resumes. despite the sell of most of inland territory to Venice in trade for some Adriatic coastal area, including Ragusa, focus becomes the island of Taprobana (OTL Sri lanka), and the settlement off the coast of the island.with more settlers, the settlement expands 1000 sq km.At the Adriatic, some nobles who had moved inland after the conquering of Ragusa and surrouding areas come back to the city, and the area bought by Hungary.Öböl expands 1000 sq km south, and Ezsák-Afrika expands 1000 sq km north.
 * France supports the Second Crusade, sending the Order of Saint Robert and the Royal armies of Arabia, Algeria, Burgundy and France itself to conquest the promised land in Arabia. The king is disposed to give up his claims in Egypt, in exchange, the Arabian peninsula (promised to France) must be give to the french Claiphate of Arabia. France expands 2300 sq km the domain of Algeria. Arabia offers support to Ethiopia in its war to conquest its neighboors.
 * are you making a proposal to me?
 * No, I am giving you support.
 * But what you meant with "give up his claims on Egypt in exchange..."?
 * Oh, that...Yes, Before, I had intention to claim some land in Egypt and create a kingdom there. You can get the entire mamluk Egypt if I can get the arabic land promised to me.
 * Okay.
 * Persia: The chaos in China forces Persia to find another ally in the war. They ask Russia and Naples to help them conquer Shahzrur. The modernization, Christianization, and economic and military growth all continue. It also asks China to make reforms to appease there.
 * Finland continues to build up their military, and continue to build and improve some infrastructure. Finland also expands their new colony 50km inward. Finland also supports Vietnam in the Vietnamese-Korean War, and sends some military ships to help Vietnam fight against Joseon's colonies.
 * China swiftly acts upon these rebels. Several thousand Chinese troops pour into the areas caught in the rebellion. The Emperor makes an announcement: "We have been prosperous and kind to our people. The only thing bringing this nation down are the rebels." This statement causes several to calm down. By the time October rolls around, the rebellion is put down, the rebel leaders executed. Then the earthquake happens. Rebuilding of the city commences, as does a search party for survivors. While most of the city is okay, some buildings to the north are damaged or at least in need or reinforcement. Like an exclaimation mark on a very bad year, a fire breaks out during a rebuilding effort, destroying several buildings, though it is not enough to put the recovery effort back too far.
 * As the new algorithm says, it will not be a swift crushing of the rebels
 * The new algorithm is being debated.
 * You should not say that you won until the debate is over
 * I never said I won
 * Voltaire offers to the Emperor of China help to destroy the rebellions, sending rienforcements of the whole kingdoms and its vassals to help him against the rebels. In eschange, China msut sign an allaince and trade agreements with France
 * The Royal Body accepts Venetian funds, and manages to prevent similar funds from reaching the King. With resources desperately low, the King fails to pay his struggling soldiers. The common soldiery rise against their noble officers and engage in horrific slaughter. With the Body's numbers bolstered by rebelling soldiers, by years end the King is in flight and the land is fully under the dominion of the Royal Body. The King is killed while trying to flee into Orthagi. Raballiyah, leader of the Royal Body, proclaims that the hereditary office of the King has no legitimacy and that greatness is achieved by electing great leaders like Ehkanankne and Chanrak, the Founders of the Old Kingdom of Tsalagi. With Venetian money filling Itsaygahan coffers, the Union of Itsaygahi is proclaimed. The vassals become autonomous provinces of Itsaygahi and old feudal territories are divided between military officers and the age of the Janissary-Lord begins.
 * Funds were Venetian btw. Venice welcomes this new stability in its trading partner.
 * Incan-Colombian Republic: The stabilization of the Republic conintues, but due to the tightly packed population, the ICR people begin to push out of the present ICR without goverment intervention to claim there own farms and land. Caan someone add the ICR to the map, it is on the unclaimed Brazillian coast and about 50 milies deep from the coast.
 * Venice offers to help fund the Incan reminants with free trade and money. They offer large amounts of money that may be paid back at a later date, they ask that a good amount is spent on industry so that they may secure the investment.
 * France makes the same offer.
 * Ethiopia sends well wishes to the ICR.
 * It's on the map, by the coast, it's dark blue and really small.
 * Venice is starting to regain its economic power, the first official Bank of Venice opens, helping to greatly organise venetian assets. Venice continues to expand its military and looks into building a network of forts across venetian territories along with this a new idea of the "Ven-Rossi Company" a new implementation which helps the economy to become more organised. The land of Nouvo Venetia also expands by 2300 sq km due to demand for larger farms.
 * The governor of New Hanthawaddy assumes control of the northern part of the Incan Empire, and establishes a power base at Kashamarka, which is renamed New Laskreng. The Hanthawaddy Union follows up its victory in Pegu with an invasion of Mergui. Toeh Ngoa Nyoing experiences a famine, due to a shortage of fish.
 * Due to the Yellow fever in Cadiz, king Phillip orders the town to be quarrantined until the plague has passed. Spain continues to upgrade it's millitary and infrastructure, and the New Spain colony is expanded by 50 sq km. King Phillip grants Portugal vassalage.
 * Actually, you already have a colony on Tangiers, i think, combined with this colony and your two vassals, you have right to expand up to 2000 sq km in a half turn.
 * Russian Tsar Peter avoids getting Smallpox for the moment, and marries Catherine Dolgorukova. Peter Decides to support the Chinese governement in the war against the rebels, nearly declaring war on them himself. Peter Becomes more of a dictator than his father, limiting more of the senate's powers to just an advisory body, angering many nobles, meanwhile, Novaya Kamchatka expands by 3500 km on the north Island.
 * Sweden and her allies launch a full scale invasion of Adal with the forces freed from the Incan Empire. They crush the small nation easily by the end of the year. Sweden expands Fjordland 3050sqkm Sweden continues upgrading the road system and builds more 'factories'. There are around twenty of them scattered across the Scandinavian Peninsula by the end of the year.
 * like i said before, one year is unsifficient.your forces, for starting, don't know the terrain.would be more suiting that the war dured two to four years now that Ethiopia is helping, but defeating the forces of a small-medium nation with non-knowing of the terrain, with tired troops is impossible in one year, even with tha forementioned nation fighting a two-front war.oh, and the algoryhm just said that Ethiopia has right to 13,5% of Adalian territory.
 * One there will be resistance. Two Sweden attacked Adal and led the war.
 * Sorry Sweden, but we should probably say something like this: Despite massive victories by Swedish and Ethiopian forces, it takes another two years for a peace agreement to end the war with Adal.

1731

 * Naples continues to try to occupy the newly taken Incan territories, but it will take some time to do so. The forces stationed there travel up north to the island of Ricasolia, and there conquer 1550 square kilometers of the native tribal areas on the southern area of the colony. Back in Naples, Queen Lucentia dies, her health having collapsed since the death of her beloved husband Biondello. Sickly Romeo II is crowned as king of Naples, barely 10 years old. The elderly Cardinal Baptista of Naples will help the young king manage the control of Naples.
 * Persia, which has become Christian when the Shah was converted to Christianity, declares war on the Mamuluks and invades Northern Mesopotamia.
 * Hungary and Egypt advance through inland Mamluk Egypt. the supported faction also gains territory slowly.infrastructure on Cairo and Alexandria is improved, but only there.in Greece, a new port is built in Tripoli.Meanwheile Zoltán starts to lead the Hungarian armies personally.Neos Prevexa expands 750 sq km, India expands 1500 sq km in Taprobana, and Dél-Afrika expands 800 sq km.
 * Yemen continues to expand north-east and north-west, fighting against local tribes, and finally reaches the border of Mamluks and France. Yemen begins preparations for the war against Mamluks. (What the hell are you talking about, while talking about me and Somalia? What Yemen has to do with Somalia?)
 * Somalia?
 * Finland continues to build up their military, and continue to build and improve some infrastructure. Finland also expands their new colony 50km inward. Finland also continues to send some more military ships to help Vietnam in the Vietnamese-Korean War. Meanwhile, the Finns also help by fighting the Koreans at sea, near their colonies.
 * Ethiopia: As war in Adal goes calm, Ethiopia's northern border expands 1000 km, giving it more coastland.
 * The Vietnamese continue their war against the corrupted rulers of the de-facto Joseon colonial empire. The Vietnamese asist the New Lithuanians in conquering the Joseon colony in the New Lithuanian archipalego.
 * Spain continues to upgrade its millitary, and beins researhing the steam engine, pleading for help from its allies. New Spain expands by 1250 Sq Km. (New Spain is in OTL Adelaide, Australia, in case anyone didn't know. The colony below Gibraltar is just called Tangiers.)
 * The Bank of Venice puts money into the Ven-Rossi Company, helping the expansion of industry to areas where members of the Ven-Rossi Company are governers (mainly the crusader states and venetian india). Small arsenals are constructed along the coasts of these areas bringing the economy up and local and foriegn trade up. The military is boosted too by this infrastructural upgrade, allowing local venetian aligned militaries to start using Venice standard weapons and equipment. Nouvo Venetia expands by 1000 sq km agian due to agricultural demands. Venetian India expands by 1300 sq km due to tribes joining what they see as a rich, powerful nation.
 * Russia sends supplies to Vietnam. More and more steel plants start popping up in most every major city in Russia, although the largest remain in the Nizhnigorod/Penza Governate. People start using cars on rails powered by horses(the first primitive trains) to transport goods to steel workshops. Peter sets up a labor camp next to a mine. A primitive Katorga if you will, so that exiles can work in metalurgy to produce more refined metals for Russia's industrial needs. Meanwhile, the first prototype of a "cone Bullet" is thought up of in the IRO and held top secret. It is presumed that it will expand due to pressure building up and fit more snugly agianst the rifling (like OTL minébullet), hearby drasticaly increasing the rance of the weapon, and using the very reliable penza rifling technique, the Russians will have, in fact, created the first "sniper rifle"(with the earlier adoption of rifling, this is plausible). Until a proven Bullet is made and shot, the Institute wishes it to remain a secret that only the tsar should know.
 * Sweden deals with Adalian resistance over the course of the year and manages to put most of it down. The lands are gifted to Ethiopia providing them ports to establish trade routes. New Sweden expands 3050 sqkm.

Culture and research flourish there, and most of Ethiopia's future improvements will be developed in the capitol first.Collie, can you please update the map to show the previous things that I asked you about (Ganananora (OTL Assab), and an increased southern border?
 * Keep in mind that 20 px in a nation with your dimensions can hardly be noticed.and i can't update it. i update the map each turn to avoid spending time editing and uploading the map when the time comes.this way, i can uload the map when is still 4:50 on the morning instead of ending up uploading it later than 5:00 at the morning. right now, the map is updated with the turns of 1730-1731 and the unfinished one of 1732.I will get you a preview of what Ethiopia looks like
 * Thank you! Its just that the changes took place in 1725-1729 so I thought they would go on the 1730 map. Oh well........
 * China, afraid of losing more people to the rebellion, comes to a compromise with the rebels; the leaders get control of a few provinces and a sum of money in return for loyalty to China and the end of the rebellion. The rebels accept.

 * Venice accepts and the Bank of Venice sends large funds to Itsaygahi along with an offer, that the Ven-Rossi Company go and set up several small arsenals along the coast so that Itsaygahi will have an advanced industry owned by the Company but working and payed for by Itsaygahi.

Voltaire strarts anti-jewsih and anti-catholic campaigns, starting conflict between the representantives of the schmittists colonies of Haiti, Terre de Feu, Malouinas, Patagonie and Nouvelle France in tha parliament and the representatives of the catholic France, Brgundy and Guinée, and the Islamic Algeria, Arabia and Songhaï. Anyway, the good relationships between the caliph, the king and the prince-duke are keeping the civil order, and the plans to give water and food to the common people are working well. The king orders that the quechua languae and culture (including the religion) must be respected.
 * Venice continues to develop at a great rate making up for the 30 years of civil disruption in no time. The military continues to be upgraded and across the empire is becoming fully standardised and in line with homeland regulations, the Ven-Rossi Company throws the economy into overdrive and Venice begins large exports again for the first time in over seventy years. This is further boosted after they manage to negotiate a deal to build arsenals in Joseon, However needing a way to give investors incentive they invent the idea of shares, which show how much of the company someone owns. They give the Joseon government major shareholder status (10%). Meanwhile the territory of Nouvo Venetia expands by 2300 sq km after a local governer orders the borders tribes to be culled after an incident which ended up with a Venetian boy being killed.

 * Russia asks to buy from the Itsahagian ROyal body the permission to purchase the northern portion of the nation that is bordering th coast to connect the Orthodox pale with the other north american RUssian Posessions. The Russias promise financial aswell as military stuff, including 1000 Penza rifles, the "most reliable in the world".More to add...
 * Persia manages to secure all of northern Mesopotamia under its control. The modernization, Christianization, economic growth, and military growth all continue.
 * Finland continues to build up their military, and continue to build and improve some infrastructure. Finland also expands their new colony 50km inward.
 * Early on the year, the Hungarian/Egyptian/Greek troops are combating and adavcing on Egypt.In one battle in February,King Zoltán is seriously wounded.it is decided to take him to Cairo, but he dies before reaching the city.Since Zoltán had no offspring, and no brothers, the Nobles' Council elects his judged-to-be-nearest relative, Mihály Hunyadi, or Michael X of Greece.Michael only rules until April, when he abdicates, citing difficulties of ruling both Hungary and Greece.Michael, despite his abdication, gives advice to the Nobles' Council.Meanwhile,other relative is found, Béla, son of Béla VII, son of Béla VI who supported him on the Hungarian Civil war and lost, eventually fleeing to Wallachia.However, few weeks after being elected, Béla, who is already ill, dies, at age 73, with no descendants known.the House of Hunyadi is eventually declared extinct, although it stays ruling on Greece, under the name Corvin, which was already used by the Hunyadi rulers.In July, the Nobles' Council has no option but to choose a ruler from a different dynasty.Count Lazsló, from the House of Erdődy, is elected in July by the High Chamber, and the decision is ratified by the Low Chamber weeks later.In December, he is crowned as Ladislaus VI.In Ezsák-Afrika, some islands, south of Canaria Insulae are invaded, and 650 sq km are conquered. of the islands conquered, the bigger island is caled Szent Antál, and the minor islands is called Szent Lúcia (the smallest of them), and Szent Vince (bigger than Szent Lucia and smaller than Szent Antál).the islands, colectivelly, become known as "Zöld-foki-szigetek", name taken from a cape located on the African kingdom of Sine, which is the nearest mainland point to the islands.India expands 1400 sq km on Taprobana.Dél-Afrika expands 1000 sq km north.
 * Yemen continues fighting against local rival tribes while expanding north-east.
 * The french colony of Haiti is expanded 3500 sqkm. The king Jean, the prince-duke Robert and other nobles manage to take the Arab Peninsula. The caliph wants to renew his alliance with Yemen. The king Alexander I of Burgundy annuls the slavery. The prince Robert does the same in Patagonie.
 * Yemen accepts the alliance.
 * The Vietnamese, eager to return to colonial expansion, expand their South American colony by 76*50 sq km. They continue to expnad to the northwest, intent on linking the South America colony to Puerto Rico's enclave on the continent.
 * Naples continues to solidify their control of the Incan territories. Trade is good, and there is a great improvement in the economy. Many merchants buy large amounts of land in Cuba in order to create plantations to grow crops there and sell them, resulting in 1000 new square kilometers of the island coming under the control of Naples. Istoias expands by 550 square kilometers as well. The young King Romeo II is very religious due to his fear of death (as he is often sick) so he begins to build up the Neapolitan puppet-state of Jerusalem. The religion of Jerusalem is now 45% Jewish, 15% Roman Catholic, 10% Eastern Orthodox, 20% Shi'a Islam, 5% Sunni Islam and 5% Druze.
 * China begins rebuilding from the recent rebellion. In June, the rebellion is officially declared over. The rebel group, for the most part, dissolves. Some rebels begin fighting for the new position of their former allies in arms. At the permission of the rebels and the Emperor, the small leftover group of rebels are found and shot. In other news, cannabis and other mind-degrading herbs are made illegal to the general public. These herbs saw a heyday in the time of artistic rebirth and prosperity in China. Nobles and the emperor, however, may still use these herbs. The outlaw of these 'drugs' allows for the popularization of the cultivation of tobacco in substitute for the now illegal herbs.
 * The Venetian economy expands greatly, the military continues to expand. Nouvo Venetia grows by 2300 sq km. Not much inspiration at this time.
 * You do know that Nouvo Venetia is expanding into territory that is claimed by the Russians during the St. Petersburg conference? If it expands enough, it would be expanding into territory claimed by Itsaygahi as well. 
 * Hey that's right!
 * Venice was not invited nor informed of this.
 * Technically all nations with colonies in the Americas were invited, except Venice couldn't come because you were banned.
 * So how were Venetian interests dealt with?
 * They were given a tiny part of South America, and no one claimed any of the Bahamas, but other than that they were mostly ignored by the powers, all eager for more land for themselves and ignoring weaker nations
 * I'm glad so much that Venice is considered "weak" despite the fact that it has never lost a war.
 * It was on the losing side of the second Russo-Swedish war (or was it the third?) At the time, it was having severe leadership problems for the last couple and thus its international influence and power were extremely low
 * We never lost ground in that war and neither did we ever end it really as Venice never signed the peace treaty. Besides the motive for that war was itchy and had it not been allowed to go, it would have been a draw or something worse for Russia.
 * You were on the side that recognized defeat, just because you were too proud to sign the peace treaty that everyone else on your side did does not mean you didn't lose, it just means your nation pretended that it did not. But that is beside the point, your nation was unable to organize itself and thus was left out of the treaties that divided north and south america.
 * Ok, how about this, you show me what you want in north america, and We decide if it is reasonable, its kind of sad to think about this, but if nuovo venicia wasnt so god damn close to novorossiya. if it were in the guld of mexico, I wouldnt have much of a porblem(notice I said much) giving up some land. so how does it sound? reasonable(just note that russia will not give up their outlet to the great lakes just like that)-Lx
 * You could always sell it in exchange for some Russian colony that they don't use much more

1734

 * In Naples, a hundred years ago this year, the great leader Benvolio II came to power, the second leader of the Entori dynasty and one of the greatest kings in the history of Naples. Sadly, this year is much less successful for Naples, as the young king Romeo II dies in the spring, barely having reigned three years. He is succeeded by his younger brother Benvolio III, who is but 9 years of age (although much healthier than his older brother). Cardinal Baptista will continue to help run things in Naples for the second young king in Naples. The Cardinal dislikes Venice due to their conflicts with the church, and he states that if Russia and Itsaygahi wish to oppose them due to the Venetian expansion into lands claimed by those two nations, Naples will come to their aid.
 * The Vietnamese continue to expand their South American colony northwards to the Puerto Rico colony by 76*50 sq km.
 * Persia continues its modernization, economic growth, military growth, and Christianization plans. It begins to secure a foothold of northern Mesopotamia and begins to claim its final remnants.
 * Despite his coronation, which mean that he is officially king of Hungary, king Ladislaus is relatively more unknown than his predecessors, aside of the fact of he was a important noble.then, starts a propaganda campaign to boost his popularity.Advance on Egypt resumes, with the coallition making more gains throughout the year.Meanwhile, more islands of Zöld-foki are conquered, totalizing 600 sq km of expansion.the bigger island of those conquered is called Szent Miklós.Meanwhile, at Szent Antál and Szent Vince, sugarcane starts to be cultived, while it slowly loses space to wine on Canariae Insulae.Öböl expands 1150 sq km south.India expands 1300 sq km on the mainland, inland.
 * Yemen continues fighting against local tribes, while expanding north-east. Formely known to be divided into two subdivisions, Yemen now has 4 subdivisions: "Gstad(north-western)", "Gostot(southern)", "Bayernsot(northern)", "Baghstat(north-eastern)". Many changes in law are made. Every man, from the age of 18, must serve two years in army.
 * With a new peace treaty forced on Adal, Ethiopia takes (13.5%) all of Adal's coast. The Emperor begins making a more regulated and efficient tax system, that will be used on all of Ethiopia's territories. Meanwhile, the tribal chiefs around OTL Dijibouti swear alliegance to the Ethiopian crown.
 * Rebuilding in China continues. Violence due to the rebellion is officially over. China is quiet once again. Plans to expand its colonies in North America are announced.
 * Reorganisation of the internal structure of Itsaygahi continues, and the treasury slowly fills with money made from trade and economic expansion, not simply draining off Venice. The Union does not feel strong enough to challenge Venetian expansion, and so ignores their colonies. With the need to expand the economy in a largely agricultural country, the Union Body asks France for a trade deal to take slaves from New Songhay to the farms of Itsaygahi
 * France buildsup its military. The king of France decides to put more efforts in the Mamluk war, helpin the advances of other nations and advancing himself to the arabic lands. Meanwhile, Voltaire accepts the Union Body's offer. France asks Russia and Itsaygahi a new congress to fix the calims of Venice in North America. The king is very sorry for the dead of his relatives, the kings of Naples, and he asks the Cardinal Baptista to declare him Fidei Defensor during the minority of the king Benvolio III. Voltaire feels strong hate against the jewish, and his confrontations with the crown are increasing.
 * Finland continues to build up their military, and continue to build and improve some infrastructure. Finland also expands their new colony 50km inward.
 * Spain continues upgrading its millitary and infrastructure. the new spain colony expands by 1550 sq km
 * Mons living on OTL Kangaroo Island visit the Spanish colony at OTL Adelaide, and ask to open up trade. The Empress of Hanthawaddy wishes to make peace with the Hanthawaddy Union, but meetings are canceled after an issue with Buddhist monks. The colonies become increasingly commercial, bringing much-needed money to defend against rebellions into the Mon economy. Toeh Ngoa Nyoing expands east along the coast by 2700 sq km at OTL Murmansk.
 * Venice asks for negotiation on the north american borders. Meanwhile their military continues expanding, their economy continues to grow expotentially and the colony of Nouvo Venetia expands by 2300 sq km.
 * Expanding the military counts as one whole turn, so you cannot expand the colony by that much, you have to either expand it by 1550 sq km or not update the military as well. Currently, I think waiting until the next map for the negotiations to begin to determine whether you will just be negotiating with Russia or also with Itsaygahi and/or Hungary.
 * I can do that, I have two turns do I not, I haven't expanded under the terms in the rules and shown in war algorithms. I am spending 0.5 turns on military, 0.5 on economy and 1 on colonisation, I think I can do what I have stated.
 * Military is 1 turn, economy is 0.5 (unless it is massive). I forgot about the +0.5, but I thought that applied to colonial expansion as well (if not then I have been massively underexpanding)
 *  Continued military expansion is 0.5 starting up military expansion is 1 turn. 
 *  I think they might have a +0.5 turn for personal union or wahtever. 
 * Russian military upgrades quite a bit. The Russian Governor in Novorossiya once agian asks the Itsahaginas to purchase land to connect Orthodox Itsahagi and Novorossiya. RUssian America expands by 3000km and PEter decides to implement the same taxation system in RUssia and in Lithuania.

 * Yemen: Many coastal defences and cannons are being produced. Industrialisation is also being improved. They expand north-east.
 * Rebuilding in China continues. Meanwhile, a breakthrough on a smaller, yet equally efficient steam engine is occurs. This is shared with Russia.
 * Hungry for more cash to improve the economy and modernise the extraordinarily backwards economy of Itsaygahi, the Union Body signs the deal with Voltaire and agrees to sell the Russians land sufficient to connect Orthagi and Novo Rossiya. The slaves give their name to the slave class (regardless of race) during this time, Noovelongahans. Its a corruption of Nouvelle Songayans.
 * Livonia is annexed into Lithuania. The Governement thanks the Itsahagians for their generosity, and give them 1000 penza rifles in greatitude, and money to help them improve their economy. The Iroquois now control(or have influence on) the territory of basicaly the entire east coast of the lake ontario and lake erie, witch is, after its discovery by the russians, named "lake Hiwahita" in honor of the legendary Hiwahita I of the Iroquois. who mcreated the confederation. and the lake Ontario is named "lake Skanadario", the traditional Iroquois name for the lake they lived on the coasts of for so long. The St lawrence river, however is named Simeonov river, in honor of YuriYakovich Simeonov, the first Russian Governor to sign a treaty with the Iroquois people. The Iroquois finaly discover, after a Hungarian fort is constructed at the point where the Lake Skanadario(lake ontario) turns into the ST LAwrence River, they very much dislike that, and desperately ask the russians to check the St Petersburg treaty to check the colony's territorial legitimacy. Peter II of Russia decdes to travel to America for an official meet with the Grand Cieftain of the Iroquois confederation, Thesetaraniu, the son of Hiwahita II, and member of the Mohawk Nation. THis diplomatic voyage is the first of this kind, as it was not ever atempted before, as no russian monarch has ever visited America, even for diplomatic trips. PEter leaves right when the Baltic sea permits him to, leaving his wife Catherine in charge for a while, and sets sail for america, arriving in June in Novomoskovsk. He then, with Iroquois guides travels to meet the chief, and signs a treaty with him, giving him, to ovoid any wars with other naions, permission to expand the Iroquois influence and power in all domains guaranteed to Russia by the Treaty of St Petersburg. As the meet comes to a close, the temperature plunges, making him wait untill next year to travel back. Peter stays in the Gubernatorial residences in Hochelaga-Mont-Rayal, Stadakona-Kvebek, and spends a while in Noviy Vladimir. He is happy with what he ses in these cties, with theri standards of living much the same as the ones in RUssia proper, if not better.
 * I checked the map of the treaty, and i really broke into your territory.how we fix this?
 * I assume that this is Lx talking. If it is, I suppose that you could offer to give them the territory which was to be theirs, and in return they could sign some treaty giving Russia large amounts of money and maybe an agreement that they will help them in the war.
 * No, this is Collie, talking to Lx.
 * The king of France, Jean III sends more troops to Egypt, occuping the southern arab peninsula, while France are building up its military. The french parliament decides to declare war on Wolof, to expand Songhaï. Alexander I of Burgundy, Selim of Arabia and Algeria and the prince-duke of Terre de Feu join the war.
 *  Terre de Feu at counts as a colony I believe 
 *  Yes, it is a colony, it's anyway "independent", because it has its own armies and laws. Is just in-game data, Terre de Feu msut not be counted as vassal. 
 * Finland continues to build up their military, and continue to build and improve some infrastructure. Finland also expands their new colony 50km inward.
 * Hanthawaddy, for the first time, begins to allow private companies to operate in Ngenkeh. This is immediately followed up with the creation of the Mon Ngainkeh Company by some wealthy middle class. The "Mons Resist Burmese Rule" movement encourages Mons living in the Hanthawaddy Union to settle Bengal and Ngenkeh. Over 12,000 new settlers land in Ngainkeh, the largest number ever recorded.OTL Darwin in Haklon expands in all directions by 1300 sq km. Kumbasem (near Kulin) expands west along the coast by 1600 sq km.

These perspective settlers must swear an oath of loyalty to New Lithuania in exchange for a homestead in either the New Lithuanian archipalego or Borneo.
 * Persia has finsihed the fleet and had landed troops in Bahrain and the OTL area of UAE. Troops captured many towns along the way, securing most of the region.
 * UAE and Bahrain are designed to be annexed by Arabia.unless that you and France (or even Sweden) have a treaty, but i checked in your talk page and there is nothing to say that you have a treaty about land.
 * Bahrain is meant to be Swedish and UAE split between Sweden and France.

They use the advanced weaponry to balance the poorer north against the richer, more urbanised south.
 * Naples increases the size of their defensive military and improves their economy from all of the new trade due to increased trade amounts as merchants gain more power.

 * A Large Ethiopian military base is built in OTL Arba Minch, to secure Ethiopia's southern boundries from attack. Large numbers of military personal are trained there, and the army is improved.
 * The French army advances to the coast of Wolof, setting free the slaves and bombarding the ports. The king Alexander I of Burgundy asks the king of Hungary to help him against Wolof. In exchange, he will give him a land in the OTL Cap-Vert. Meanqhile, the algerian territory expands 3500 sqkm.
 * France's great social progressivism is sort of unrealistic for this time period.
 * It is not that unrealistic. The ideas of the abolition of the slavery, the liberalist economy and others start in this period, but no nation of the era used it. I do, and is not implausible.
 * Incan Colombian Republic: Expansion begins due to the huge population in such a small area, and it will continue for at least five years.
 * I don't see how a tiny nation founded by scattered, disorganized refugees would have such a large population. 
 * Imperial Hanthawaddy makes a treaty with the Hanthawaddy Union, ending the Hanthawaddy Civil War.

 * They didn't you can't change the map have another look at it and you'll see that I have plenty of room, give a map if you want to prove anything.
 * excerpt from Itsaygahi's 1735 turn;"agrees to sell the Russians land sufficient to connect Orthagi and Novo Rossiya." and both can't be connected (at least by land) without passing through the western border of your colony
 * thank you.
 * How about in exchange for your american colony I give you my sri lankan/Indian one? population 200 000?-Lx
 * expand it a bit then its a deal, make it so it at least covers a third of sri lanka.
 * While some supporters of the rebellion go to New Lithuania, the vast majority stay in China or go to the colonies in Mexico and South America. This allows the Mexican colony to expand up the eastern coast by 3000 sq km this year.
