Principia Moderni II (Map Game)

;Principia Moderni, or "The Beginning of the Modern" in Late Latin, was a map game beginning in the final days of the Middle Ages in Europe, and the early days of the Ming Dynasty in China -- in 1420 C.E, a turbulent era; in other words, an era of change; an era in which power is cemented. The first game was perhaps the most successful map game on the wiki in terms of length, finishing without dying and plausible expansions. However, it did have its problems, and has now finished. Thus, this second game has been created. Welcome to Principia Moderni II.

Signups
All nations without names by them may be taken by new players immediately. Nations with normal names by them may not be taken by new players as they are already established main player nations, and cannot be played without permission or a revolt. Bolded names are international unions, with member states indented below. Tribal Names are Italicized, and areas which are fragmented by being small states are underlined. Nations in civil disarray or collapsing nations have an attached note. If a player's name has an * beside it, it means that nation is a vassal/former colony that a player is controlling but is willing to let someone else play as if asked. Areas which ** are mod-controlled and players must ask permission to play them.

1720
''' The Dimuratis erupt into a Civil War after the Dimurati King is killed by his jealous wife after discovering his royal mistress, and the King's sons start to fight for the throne. The Persians take advantage of this by retaking the territory that Dimurat stole from them, as well as the territory taken from Sindhustan. The personal union between the Dimurats and Mangystau is also broken, as, taking advantage of the civil war on the Dimurat kingdom, a high ranking general declares himself Khan of Mangystau. The Dimuratis are reduced to their homeland. OB2 has been gone for almost twice the needed time.'''

LOL -the day I come back :D

'''If you're back in the game, I'll undo this mod event as it happened only because of inactivity. Just in the future can you please mention if you're going to be inactive for a long time or else this will happen again.'''

'''Just to let everyone know that the correct denonym for Dimurat is Dimurati. You add an "I" to the end, just as you do to people from Iraq.'''

 * Portugal, Navarra, Granada, Castille, Aragon and León prepare their militaries. Meanwhile in León, Alfonso XV dies, and the throne passes to his sister, Urraca Ramírez de Lara, who is crowned as "By the Grace of God, Urraca III, Queen of León, Córdoba, Sevilla and Asturias, Duchess of Cádiz, Galisteo, Cea and Alba de Tornes, Marchioness of Coria, Castrofuerte, Valdefuentes and Villamanrique, and Countess of Coca and Palma del Río". Her husband, Juan de Haro, is also crowned as King of León, with the associated titles, becoming known as Juan VI. Meanwhile in Aragon, the Prince of Girona, Joan d'Anglesola, is married to Maria Fernández de Híjar, daughter of the Duke of Híjar, Martín Fernandez de Híjar.

 * Crete also expands its army and navy.
 * Cyrenaica expands its territory by 10,000 sq km.
 * Reiches Großraum Bayern: The military is expanded.

The Reichstag passes a new religous tolernacy law, allowing Muslims and Jews more rights than before. An offer of alliance is formally extended toward the Arabian Confederation. Trade grows in the newly purchased Bavarian Cyrenaica, (see me and Airlinesguy talk pages, I own a small portion of Cyrenaica.) Plans are drafted for an attack on Carthage in a near future.

The colonies of Borona and Koräbta Däset are expanded by 250 km, while the colonies of Warqama and Yawah Wajab are expanded by 1750 km each. The vassals of Adal, Warsangali and the Yoruba kingdom are expanded by 10,000 km each. The development of the Ethiopian population overseas in the vassals continue.
 * Thank you for posting, LOL.
 * No problem. Glad to be of assistance. ~Viva
 * The United Maharajya sees a bright mind work continously on a secret project of his with other of his trusted colleagues. He is the same student who went to study in Venice and learned many Venetian practices in the process. Inspired by Italia, he works tirelessly, and his efforts soon pay off. He manages to create a fully working air furnace. His invention shocks the world, as it was thought that only Italia would be capable of such a feat. He is hailed a Hero, and it awarded full honours for his discovery. By the year's end, many have been built all across the country. Many scientists begin to divert their work to the methods of the air furnace, and how it works. As a result, the intellectual class grows, and many biological scientists grow interested in the ideas of chemistry. Many alchemists looking to turn lead into gold continue to try their hand, yet many discover their skills have a greater impact in the world of chemistry. The NOC begins to develop more trading routes in Europe. Many ships also begin to venture out over the Atlantic to try to increase their trading route areas and find less competition. Yet they find that the Dutch have been harsh competitors. This does not please the high command so much. The SOC pumps in money to expand existing ports all around its routes to increase their capabilities and hopefully increase profit. They also begin to buy out competition from Palembang and Butung, to increase their economic holdings, all in the name of Mataram. Naya Mataram grows 200 km onto Sulwasi. Patagonshina grows by 4000 km in South America, focusing to expand on the Dutch colonial border. Cebu begins to vassalise Sulu, buying out many competitiors in its markets and beginning to make the nation economically dependent on them. It also forces through Missionaries, who begin to convert many of the remaining Muslims in the nation.
 * Mataram sees a Historic Act signed in this year as provinces in Mataram are made official. Many dignitaries from neighboring Brunei are present to see the passing of the act. The country continues to build up its military while the Spice trade only continues to increase their economic power.
 * Rajputana expands its colony by 4100 km inland. It sees a growth in trust with the United Maharajya as ideas of the air furnace are traded.
 * Kingdom of the Netherlands: King Niejmen I continues to improve the military, focusing on the navy, and also economy expands. Argentium colony expands 3000 km north. Chile colony expands the north coast 1000 km.
 * Oldeburg, Liege, Acech-Pasai, Kongo, Dutch Persia, Iceland expand economy and army. Kongo expands 10,000 sq km north.
 * Myanmar: Northern Myanmar continues growing in infrastructure and population. The population reaches 3,000,000 people. PTC continues to overtake the KTC and asks all nations to join the PTC for trade at low costs. Myanmar Afrika expands by 1000 sq km. Myanmar Oceania expands by 1000 sq km. 10,000 Elite soldiers are recruited armed and drilled and ships are made in shipyards.
 * I will be leaving two days, please can no one invade me? Ninjasvswarriors (talk) 09:04, June 2, 2013 (UTC)
 * Wales's King, Gavin III (now 44), sees his popularity soar as the People's House and Lord's House are exceptionally well regarded as a massive and forward-thinking reform. Public education continues, and it becomes much more regularly attended. This program has seen a growth in the middle class. The Sultan survives a stroke, and his health is failing. The military and economy rise. Mervyn Gwilym dies, and is noted as the best Welsh author ever. His popularity amongst citizens is so great, and his work becomes near sacred to many as he dies. In a play to build off of Mervyn's popularity, Gavin recommends him to be buried in Avalon Cathedral, which the Cardinal of Wales accepts happily.
 * England, Scotland, Belfast, Cork, and Brittany all continue with their Welshification, which is not so much as an official program, but the result of direct contact with the Welsh people and language. Cork is officially denied status as a personal union state, after massive Belfast efforts are realized. The WTC oversees the expansion of De Mor Tir 3000 sq km, as Aber Dinas also grows 3000 km. The Welsh Royal Coast is sent tons of missionaries, and it grows 10,000 sq km.
 * UMSHM: The Landtag debates the pros and cons of becoming an autonomous state of the Germanic Empire. Factors discussed include military autonomy, the status of Catholicism, the retention of a separate monarchy, and power over the Rheinish States. The navy is expanded and improved. Saxon West Africa expands 250 sq km North, and in Australis, the REIAC expands their holdings on Hans Island by 750 sq km. The King-Duke turns 19, and the government begins to speculate on what will occur once he comes of age in two years time.
 * Primatial City of Magdeburg: Missionary activity expands in Africa to accomodate the ever-expanding holdings there. Education remains the focus in Australis, especially amongst the newly-converted tribes.
 * The Lithuanians continue improving infrastructure to prepare for the upcoming invasion of Prussia.
 * Mali expands 10,000 sq km to the east. The military expands. Mossi, Gabu and Wolof contribute to the economy.
 * All the Germanic states expand their militaries. Chimu is upgraded from colony status to client state and home of part of the Navy. Neu Berlin expands 6000 sq km towards Eriksmark, which expands 1000 sq km south. Japan is offered an alliance. Plans are drafted to invade a nation, although only top military officials know what the target is. Neu Berlin (1-5 yes, 6-10 no, 4) vassalizes Myami, due to increased pressure on the nation following the colonial expansion around it. Vinland expands 1000 sq km north along the Antillian coast. We encourage Sindhustan to take from the collapsing Dimurats. Chimu sends a fleet north and establishes its own smaller colony between the Mayan northern border and the Chinese colony. Several Germanic territories join the Arabians in their war, as the Kaiser declares that the time has come.
 * The Mayan Empire continues trade with European colonies and the Lakota. The Juun family continues setting up schools. More roads are built in the southern portion of the Empire to allow raw goods to be transported more easily. The Royal Science Academy continues work on scientific projects. Flax and tobacco are grown. Linen is produced in Mutul and Azteca. Kappelism continues gaining followers. Money is invested in regional projects to promote wealth and business. Middle class families continue rising to prominence in some of the more wealthy provinces, as well as some of the less wealthy provinces. The Empire expands north 8000 km. Xaman expands 3150 km and Haven expands 1100 km.
 * Apache continues expanding 8000 km southeast in search of better water sources.
 * Kaliforno expands 7000 km southeast.
 * The Levantine Kingdom builds up its military as the Levant's New Syria colony expands 4000 sq km inland as the campaign against the Xhosa natives continues. Queen Mary orders colonists in Rinhad Mihyah to produce more sugar, bananas, coffee, rum, and yams, as the Queen announces a new purchase of slaves from the Arabian Federation from the Zanj coast. These slaves are shipped over to the Caribbean island colony and plantation produce increases two fold.
 * The Arabian Federation builds up its military as the Federation prepares for war as part of Sultan Jassim's plan to expand the Federation. This plan is revealed this year after the Federation declares war on Ethiopia for marginalizing Muslims and the Federation invades Yemen. Smaller attacks against other Ethiopian territories take place too, but the focus is on Yemen.
 * The United Maharajya warns the Arabians to pull out of Ethiopian territories, or the consequences will not favour the Federation.
 * The Arabian Caliphate builds up its military and Emir Khalil announces the Caliphate will support the Arabian Federation in their war against Ethiopia. Some military aid is sent and the Caliphate launches some attacks against Yemen and raids of the Ethiopian coast, too. The Al-Khalil colony in OTL Maputo Bay inbetween the Chinese and Portuguese colonies in the region expands inland by 300 sq km as more settlers go to the colony.
 * The Sultanate of Baghdad builds up its economy as the new territories are developed for economic prosperity. Baghdad sends military aid to help the Arabian Federation, too.
 * The Sultanate of Kuwait builds up its economy as the new border regions are integrated into the Sultanate. Kuwait sends military aid to help the Arabian Federation, too.
 * The Maldives builds up its military as military aid is sent to help the Arabian Federation.
 * The Republic of Comchellak expands its military to help enforce the Republic's control over its new territories and to send military aid to help the Arabian Federation in their new war.
 * Dimurats: Military, infrastructure and economy are improved. Sends supplies to Arabia, but does not deploy any combatants, nor declare war.
 * France, La Marche, Rhaetia, Lorraine, Tyrol and Occitania's militaries are updated, and Nouvelle Bourgogne expands 2500 sq km, while Brasilea and Baie d'Eric (Erik's Bay) expand by 1500 sq km and La Riviere expands by 1000 sq km.

1721

 * Portugal, Navarra, Granada, Aragon, León and Castille's economies improve. Meanwhile in Aragon, Maria Fernández de Híjar gives birth to a boy, who is named Alfons, and who dies after some days. Meanwhile in León, Urraca III gives birth to a girl, who is named Berengaria. Meanwhile in Castille, Garcia Alfonso de Lara marries Maria Teresa Gómez de Silva, eldest daughter of Juan Gómez de Silva, Duke of Pastrana. Meanwhile in Portugal, a census is conducted on the mainland, determining that the population of Portugal, including Algarves and Galicia, has reached about three million people. Meanwhile, Santo Amaro expands 500 sq km, Sofala expands 500 sq km, Loanda expands 500 sq km, Guiné expands 500 sq km, and Índia expands 400 sq km. Meanwhile, Pará expands 4300 sq km, while in Rio da Prata, São Miguel expands 4200 sq km.

 * The Lithuanians continue improving infrastructure to prepare for the upcoming invasion of Prussia.
 * The Great Haruwin of the Selk'nam continues to build up the Teushen areas on the Atlantian mainland. Vast guanaco ranches are set up by Selk'nam engineers and put under the management of Teushen chiefs. Meanwhile on K'onip, the whaling facilities become more advanced and the industry grows by leaps and bounds. Great Chief Cornelius Tuch'huelpe sends emissaries  up the East Coast of Atlantia, hoping to open whaling trade with the Portuguese, Dutch, Orissan, and French colonies along the coast - along with a request that the Great Circus of Ona Yagich be allowed to come to these colonies for the purpose of amazing the locals with their dancing guanacos who jump through fire ( please respond to both offer  s ). Emissaries are also sent to the Welsh governor of De Mor Tir with the following message, "So says the Great Chief Cornelius Tuch'huelpe, Servant of Christ, Chief of All the Guanaco Herds, Lord of the Fisher Tribes, Steward of the Penguins, and Protector of the Tueshen: Let us mark a boundary between our two haruwin, that we may act in Christian love toward one another and not hunt one another's guanacos."
 * Netherlands government accepts both offers =)
 * Portugal accepts both of these offers.
 * The Orissans also accept the offers.
 * Kingdom of the Netherlands: King Niejmen I continues to improve the military, focusing on the navy, and also economy expands. Argentium colony expands 3000 km north. Chile colony expands the north coast 1000 km. Netherlands will send the army to help the Arabian Federation.

 * Reiches Großraum Bayern: 1721 is a big scientific year in Bavaria as several major inventions are created. In February Venetian-born Andreas Bartalomas invents the Klaviertone (the first piano) several of the major musicans of the time begin to use this wonderful new invention which allows the same intrument to play both soft and loud pieces. Bartalomas is lauded as a musical genius and begins to heavily push is new invention in Germany and his native born Italia. Also this year, Bohemian engineer Samson Rosenberg, a Jew in Prague, patents an automatic fire extinguisher that is filled with fire extinguishing fluid. It is activated by igniting a container of gunpowder that explodes and expels the fluid in a controlled spray. (Both inventions are early 1700s inventions, Google is your friend). The new religous tolerance laws begin to go into effect, though it isn't expected to reach all parts of the Empire for several years.  Diplomats await word from the Arabian Federation on an Alliance. The Weltzeituhr Zeitung (The WorldTimes Newspaper) becomes the first printed newspaper in Bavaria. By the end of the year its circulation extends to most of the German nations and northern Italia.
 * The Arabian Federation accepts the alliance.
 * Germany asks the whole Bavarian Reich to join their German brothers against the Indians and Ethiopians.
 * We have already formally declared war and will aid our German brothers.
 * UMSHM: After some debate in the Landtag, the United Monarchy of Saxony, Hesse and Magdeburg officially declares war on Ethiopia and joins the side of the Arabian Federation. After further debate in the Bundesrat of the Confederation, the member-states agree to assist with an expeditionary force. A large force is moved to Saxon West Africa, and the Ethiopian colony to the North is invaded. The navy is mobilised, and the entire army put on high alert. The King-Duke turns twenty, and only one year separated him from his majority. Nothing much else happens, in major national news. People generally start reading the Weltzeituhr Zeitung, as there is not that much else to read in terms of news. Some of the richer people purchase Klaviertones, but many people stick to the good old-fashioned Harpsichords, the twanging sound of which reverberates throughout the land. News of the war only reaches the Colony in Australis late in the year, when four warships carrying a reasonable force arrives to defend the colony.
 * Alfred Rottenger, Head Editor of the Weltzeituhr Zeitung, offers to set up a local news service as a satellite service of the Zeitung, this local service will be better able to address Saxon issues, as well as a few newspaper printing shops for both the local (you can come up with the name) and the Zeitung.
 * L or M?
 * Primatial City of Magdeburg: The Bishop of Australis orders all the relics and treasures in the colony to be moved to secret locations in the countryside. Apart from that, life goes on as normal, with more locals converting to Catholicism.
 * Cyprus continues to expand its army and navy. Cyrenaica continues to be more stable, and oases are connected to cities to provide continuous fresh water supplies to surrounding areas. Orthodox churches continue to be refurbished and built in Anatolia.  Nea Lefkosia expanded by 1500 sq km, Nea Larnaka expands by 1500 sq km and Nea Lemesos expands by 1500 sq km.
 * Ethiopia requests help from Cyprus in its fight against Arabia. Any lands they wish to take in the Middle East are theirs to choose.
 * Korea: Korea continues building up military, roads and harbors as well as a navy. Korean forces begin mobilizing and training for guerrilla and open field warfare. The King secretly begins funding rebel groups who agree to let him rule as Emperor once the German influence is gone. So while publicly he licks the boots of the Germans, secretly he is planning their expulsion from Korea. A secret is sent to Italia asking them if they can help liberate Korea from the Germans by secretly funding the coup that will come soon.
 * Ethiopia pledges to aid Korea secretly against the German authority.
 * Korea thanks the Ethiopians graciously, and the King secretly sends his son, Crown Prince Dong-Min, to arrange plans with the Ethiopians.
 * Can a mod look into this? Korea was the one begging Germany to save it.
 * Also, when did I ever open up Korea to player availability? It was my vassal. I don't let people play my vassals and stuff, like the Mayan Empire and whatever.
 * How would Ethiopia know what is going on if it is "secret" according to Dean?
 * Dean was cleared by Von (from what I remember) to play Korea as vassals are allowed to be played by players, and the rules don't necessarily say they have to have the owner's consent. Should have made it clear that you didn't want that to happen (and for the record, I don't allow players to play as my vassals, just saying that now for future reference). As for the secret, we can just say that it was intercepted by Ethiopian warships as Korea was a German vassal and since we're at war, it would only make sense for us to sieze any ships loyal to Germany. And Korea is a separate nation opinions. Right now their opinion of you has changed, and they no longer want to be your vassals. It's politics. Italy did it, Serbia did, and Hungary did it with Germany. ~Viva
 * To quote:
 * If a player's name has an * beside it, it means that nation is a vassal/former colony that a player is controlling but is willing to let someone else play as if asked.
 * There was no star. Meaning that I was not willing to let anyone play it.
 * Well, Dean asked and one of the mods said he could. Not my problem but one I'm willing to exploit. ~Viva
 * I remember saying no such thing, can you show me where this was said? Because as far as I knew Dean is the Lakota and they didn't get destroyed so he can't just suddenly change nations as that is against game rules ~Von.
 * Heck I really don't know where it is. All I remember is passing up a part where I believe Dean was asking if he could play as Korea and one of the mods saying yes he could. Like I said before, this is between you and Dean, I'm just using his help in the war. ~Viva


 * Okay, I looked through the posts, and Scraw, it appears that you knew and were perfectly aware of the fact Dean was playing as Korea. You said, and I quote: "Nein nein, Korea is a German client state. The German East Asian Company will not allow these things." So unless you thought the nation was on autopilot, you had every chance to tell Dean that he couldn't play as Korea. Dean even made attempts to marry into the German Royal Family, and was told that that wouldn't be possible due to racism. Now this was a mod post. So you and the mods knew Dean was Korea, yet you did nothing to stop him from playing as the vassal, so everybody knew Dean was Korea but did nothing about the matter.
 * The Mayan Empire experiences a population boom, with the birth rates increasing dramatically in comparison with past years. The Empire continues trade with European colonies and the Lakota. The Juun family continues setting up schools. More roads are built in the southern portion of the Empire to allow raw goods to be transported more easily. Training drills are conducted by the military. The Royal Science Academy continues work on scientific projects. Flax and tobacco are grown. Linen is produced in Mutul and Azteca. Kappelism continues gaining followers. Money is invested in regional projects to promote wealth and business. Middle class families continue rising to prominence in some of the more wealthy provinces, as well as some of the less wealthy provinces. The Empire expands north 8000 km. Xaman expands 5150 km and Haven expands 3100 km.
 * Ethiopia sends a message to the leader of the Maya requesting aid in the war against Arabia. Payment of their choice is open for consideration should they join the war.
 * The Mayan Empire requests an explanation as to why the Ethiopians ask the Mayans for help when they fought on opposite sides of the battlefield not 20 years ago.
 * Germany offers the Mayans the chance to redeem themselves in the eyes of Germany by joining the cause against Ethiopia and Orissa, gaining control of OTL New Zealand if we win.
 * Ethiopia had been drawn into the conflict fighting another enemy. You fought on another side of the globe and we the other. Your involvement in the conflict was not something we had expected nor intended, and we did not wish you any ill thoughts or harm.
 * Apache continues expanding 8000 km southeast in search of better water sources.
 * Kaliforno expands 7000 km southeast.
 * The Levantine Kingdom builds up its military as the Levant's New Syria colony expands 4000 sq km inland as the campaign against the Xhosa natives continues. Queen Mary sends her spies to the warzone to see if the Levant could profit from the war.
 * The Arabian Federation fights Ethiopia on several fronts as the war expands out of the Yemen to Eastern Africa, Indian Ocean, Red Sea, Gulf of Aden and the East Indies.
 * The Arabian Caliphate builds up its military and the Al-Khalil colony in OTL Maputo Bay inbetween the Chinese and Portuguese colonies in the region expands southward by 300 sq km as more settlers go to the colony.
 * The Sultanate of Baghdad builds up its economy as the new territories are developed for economic prosperity. Baghdad sends military aid to help the Arabian Federation, too.
 * The Sultanate of Kuwait builds up its economy as the new border regions are integrated into the Sultanate. Kuwait sends military aid to help the Arabian Federation, too.
 * The Maldives builds up its military as military aid is sent to help the Arabian Federation.
 * The Republic of Comchellak expands its military to help enforce the Republic's control over its new territories and to send military aid to help the Arabian Federation in their new war.
 * Dimurats: Military Infrastructure, and Economy is improved. The King decides to fully enter the war against Ethiopia.
 * Wales's Parliament, including the People's House and Lord's House, continues to be a great reform, and they encourage the King of Wales to issue a Census, which he happily agrees to organize. The census is expected to be a great way to realize a lot about the people of Alban, and those of all of the Welsh colonies. Census papers are sent out, but results will not be released until late next year. Public education continues, which directly results in a larger middle class. The Sultan dies, and the two Emirs, while the Welsh-backed one has the upper hand, fight in a large civil war. Welsh support is sent to help the emir, but the war will likely last for a few years. The military and economy rise.
 * England, Scotland, Belfast, Cork, and Brittany all continue to learn and practice the Welsh language. King Gavin, who has looked to other nations, decides that Welsh is to be the official language of all his vassal states, but they may also retain their native tongue as an official language until, at latest, 1735. Cork and Belfast are almost at war with each other, which leads to increased tensions within the entire empire, but  King Gavin has so far remained uninvolved. The British are offered a special recognition in an attempt to ease the Celtic-Germanic tensions which are builiding up.  The WTC oversees the expansion of De Mor Tir 3000 sq km, as Aber Dinas also grows 3000 sq km. The Wesh Royal Coast is sent tons of missionaries, and it grows 10,000 sq km.
 * Russia updates its economy, with closer ties with Italy. Russian industry flourishes with new, closer ties with Italy. A combined scientific reserch project with the Russian academy of sciences, and the Italian one, is announced. Russia expands Kanada by  4500 sq km and Novorossiya by 500 sq km
 * Ethiopian diplomats approach the Russian leadership for a military alliance against its enemies. Whatever territories it wishes to take north of Arabia are promised to the Russians.
 * Russia is reminded of the alliance to both the German and Bavarian Empires and implores them not to trust the Ethiopians.
 * Ethiopia has done nothing to lose its ability to be trusted, and Russia is reminded that Ethiopia was attacked first.
 * Italia expands its economy. Russia and Italia pursue closer ties.  Italia expands Nuovo Brescia by 8500 sq km along the coastline, Siam and Malacca by 5000 sq km and Aymaras and Nya Gyptios 10,000 sq km inland. Agricultural efforts put fertilizers in more and more crops, and some are sold to Russians...
 * The Emperor of Ethiopia makes a requests to Italia for aid against the Arabian invaders. Any lands they take in the war are theirs should they join in the fight.
 * You forget that Italy is Germany's largest ally and vice versa.
 * Actually, Orissa is. Remember who industrialized first now. ~Viva
 * Nope. Germany and Italy have fought most overseas wars together, and Orissa has only industrialized first due to a combination of trade with Italy and that chart.
 * That chart didn't mean diddly squat. I was third on the list yet I got yellow instead of orange. Orissa industrialized because Imp had whatever skills I didn't. ~Viva
 * Au contraire. I, too, was third on the chart, at ten points. For whatever reason, we are both yellow because I am far from Italy and you are far from Orissa and China, which were second on the list, which is why they have red, despite China having no relations with Italy.
 * China and Italy have been trading with each other for quite a while. They have actually recently become allies. Same with China and Orissa.
 * Ethiopia expands its infrastructure, military and economy, as well as those of the vassals. All vassals are commanded to send troops to the fight, and the payment of privateers to attack Arabian shipping is made.
 * Normandy: The military expands. The Alaskan and Hudson Bay colonies expand by 1100 sq km. The economy expands.
 * France, La Marche, Rhaetia, Lorraine, Tyrol and Occitania's militaries are updated, and Nouvelle Bourgogne expands 2500 sq km, while Brasilea and Baie d'Eric (Erik's Bay) expand by 1500 sq km and La Riviere expands by 1000 sq km.
 * In the United Maharajya, ideas sweep across the nation. As more air furnaces are built, the intellectual minds show more interest in the workings of the machines. Many scientists continue to work in the biological field, and many efforts begin to give fruit as it is discovered that crops need some specific needs. The NOC begins to develop more trading routes in Europe.  The SOC pumps in money to expand existing ports all around its routes to increase their capabilities and hopefully increase profit. They also begin to buy out competition from Palembang and Butung, to increase their economic holdings, all in the name of Mataram. Naya Mataram grows 200 km onto Sulwasi. Patagonshina grows by 4000 km in South America, focusing to expand on the Dutch colonial border. Cebu begins to vassalise Sulu, buying out many competitiors in its markets and beginning to make the nation economically dependent on them. It also forces through Missionaries, who begin to convert many of the remaining Muslims in the nation. The nation is shocked at the continued aggression of the Arabians, and soon go on to declare war. Fleets soon assist the Ethiopians in taking out the Arabian shipping and Navy.
 * Mataram continues to build up its military while the Spice trade only continues to increase their economic power.
 * Rajputana expands its colony by 4100 km inland. It sees a growth in trust with the United Maharajya as ideas of the air furnace are traded.
 * All the German states expand their militaries. Neu Berlin expands 6000 sq km towards Eriksmark, which expands 1500 sq km south. Vinland expands 1000 sq km north along the Antillian coast. The Kaiser makes a radical decision and arranges for Luxembourg and Aquataine, Georgia, Mysore, Travancore, Korea, and Lanka to aid the Arabian Federation, and the Kaiser is also increasing troops in all overseas territories in case Orissa attempts to attack farther away. Mysore is drilled the hardest, and we ask our great allies in Italy to aid us, as well as Myanmar.
 * Myanmar: Northern Myanmar continues growing in infrastructure and population. The population reaches 3,000,000 people. PTC continues to overtake the KTC and asks all nations to join the PTC for trade at low costs. Myanmar Afrika expands by 1000 sq km. Myanmar Oceania expands by 1000 sq km. Declares war on Arakan and invades it, ask for a mod to decide the outcome of the battle. The first steam blast furnaces are built.

1722
''' A Civil War begins in Korea between the supporters of the German vassal government and Korean rebels. The German supporters control the main Korean ports for now, severing the rebels connection to Ethiopia, ending all Korean aid to the Ethiopians. Dean should either learn to follow the rules or not play at all.'''


 * I'm thinking Korea is just removed from this algorithm altogether then. They ain't going to make a big difference to this war as they got their own war to focus on ~Von.
 * Sounds like metagaming too me. Can't lose the points so you remove him instead? Everyone, including Scraw, knew Dean was playing Korea, and didn't care up until you started the war. Now you've got a problem with it? ~Viva
 * A nation falls into civil war and you still think it cares about some international conflict? Its resources are spent on the war at home. That's not metagaming, it's logical. What's metagaming is Korea willingly getting involved in a conflict in India and the Middle East while it's in a civil war ~Von.
 * A civil war which you caused. And this wasn't just some civil war that spontanously appeared out of thin air, you caused it. Not when everyone knew Dean was Korea and didn't care before our war, but during a major conflict in which Korea would have given Ethiopia and Orissa a vital edge against Arabia, and manufactured the civil war in the middle of a conflict you were losing. Thus, metagaming. If you had done this before or after the war, then it would have passed. But since you did it during a conflict in which Korea's points really mattered, and points that Dean was giving to us, it was all to convenient for the civil war to happen now. ~Viva
 * No, Yank posted this event. I'm removing Korea from the algorithm in light of this event. Yank posted because the new situation makes sense. Otherwise, we have rebel Korea metagamingly supporting Ethiopia and German Korea metagamingly supporting Arabia. Thus, we'd have two Koreas which would cancel each other out in the algorithm which is metagaming because the Koreas would be interested more on the civil war ~Von.
 * Yank hates me. He made Persia revolt away as well when I was the United Kingdoms of Rome and Persia. Now another revolution where the King is actually leading the resistance? This will be a short civil war. DS|Fear the Mutated Dean Sims Bomb, Fear It 11:34, June 5, 2013 (UTC)


 * The Mononobe Shogunate builds up the military. More Taoist Temples and Shinto Shrines are built throughout the nation and in the colony of Miyako. Meanwhile, Okinawa Kingdom builds up its military. Also, Kasodani expands by 3300 sq km, Tojiko expands by 2000 sq km, Tōkaidō expands by 1200 sq km into Micronesia, Miyako expands into OTL Mainland Chile by 1000 sq km, and Kazami expands by 500 sq km. Taoism in Kasodani continues to rise in popularity and more Taoist Temples are built. Aid and clean up continues in Japan for those affected by the earthquake, tsunami and volcano.
 * Portugal, Castille, León, Navarra, Aragon and Granada prepare their militaries. Meanwhile in Aragon, María Fernández de Híjar gives birth to a girl, who is named Constança. Meanwhile in Navarra, Blanca de Vargas gives birth to a girl, who is named Sancha.

 * Saxon Diplomacy: The King of Saxony urges his esteemed Portuguese counterpart not to forget the many marriages between the Wettins and the Portuguese in the past (the current King is part Portuguese, I think). He asks that the Portuguese remain neutral in the war with Ethiopia, or even join the Arabian side.
 * The Ugyhur Khanate surrenders to China. Chinese troops settle the region down.
 * Hiya, I'm back! Italia, after an extended period of peace and rebuilding, is disturbed by news of the war in Arabia. With the Arabian Federation and the Levant as Italian allies and Ethiopia having diplomatically insulted us, we are honorbound to help Arabia. But with Orissa's involvement the nobles and the King are puzzled as how to proceed. The military is built up in preparation for entering the conflict while diplomats observe the situation more closely. Nuovo Brescia expands by 8500 sq km along the coastline. Nya Gyptios and the Aymaras expand by 10,000 sq km inland while Malacca expands by 5000 sq km. Yugoslavia re-ignites talks about unification with Montenegro now that the Lord of Montenegro is elderly and heirless, He signs a document that upon his death, will integrate Montenegro with Yugoslavia.
 * Saxon Diplomacy: The Saxon Ambassador to Italia asks that the promise made by the Italians a few decades ago; to assist Saxony retrieve its Saint Thomas mission from the Ethiopians, be honoured through Italia's joining the war on Arabia's side.
 * Ethiopia recently won a string a victories against the combined German and Arabian forces. We please request the aid of the Italian nation in defending our lands from the Arabian-led invaders. Also, we have no knowledge of insulting you anytime in the past. If you'd be so incline to remind us of this insult, we're sure we can rectify the matter.
 * Italia will not join the war on the Arabian side if Ethiopia withdraws claims to the Saint Thomas mission at OTL Perth and agrees to trade Tasmania for Nuovo Milano. Should Ethiopia agree to the terms listed then Italia would also like to see a Saxon withdrawal.
 * Ethiopia agrees. I be cutting me own throat for this. ~Viva
 * Whoa, whoa, whoa! When did I "diplomatically insult" Italia? ~Viva
 * Wales isn't fighting in this war. Plus your string of victories is moot because we don't know who wins the algorithm yet.
 * I removed Wales from Ethiopia's response. But on that other point, then why is Von speaking of "new territories" gained in the war? ~Viva
 * UMSHM: Eugen II, King of Saxony and Duke of Hesse turns twenty-one, officially coming of age. He is invested with the royal and ducal crown, sceptre and orb, and anointed by the Primate of the Catholic Germans. He makes a speech to the Landtag, thanking them for looking after his country during his minority, and stating his wish that they continue their stewardship of the country regardless of his age. More regiments are sent to Africa and the Australis colony, but a significant portion is still in Saxony.
 * Primatial City of Magdeburg: Despite the war raging around them, the Missionaries continue their conversions and education.
 * Cyprus continues to expand its economy, and declines the offer to enter the war between Arabia and Ethiopia, citing reasons of unpreparedness and also that the allies of Cyprus are on the opposing side to Ethiopia. Nea Lefkosia is expanded by 1500 sq km, Nea Larnaka is expanded by 1500 sq km and Nea Lemesos is expanded by 1500 sq km.
 * Ethiopia expands its military and economy, and sends additional troops to the front against the Arabian forces. The military and economies of all Ethiopian vassals are increased as they send troops to the warfront and mobilize their resources for the conflict.
 * The Lithuanians continue improving infrastructure to prepare for the upcoming invasion of Prussia.
 * The Levantine Kingdom builds up its military as the Levant's New Syria colony expands 4000 sq km inland as the campaign against the Xhosa natives continues. Queen Mary travels to Italia to meet her relatives to convince them to secretly supply the Arabian Federation via the Levant and otherwise remain neutral in the war.
 * The Arabian Federation fights Ethiopia on several fronts as the war expands out of the Yemen to Eastern Africa, Indian Ocean, Red Sea, Gulf of Aden and the East Indies. The Sultan thanks its German allies to coming to help the Federation against the Indian Maharajya who got involved somewhat needlessly.
 * The Arabian Caliphate builds up its military and the Al-Khalil colony in OTL Maputo Bay inbetween the Chinese and Portuguese colonies in the region expands southward by 300 sq km as more settlers go to the colony. Caliph Ali praises the brave fighters battling to save the Muslims in Yemen from persecution and the Yemeni people themselves from Ethiopian ethnocide.
 * Why did you say I didn't commit ethnocide in the turn before last, and now use that as a casus belli in this turn? ~Viva
 * It's merely propaganda not a casus belli, not to mention the Caliphate isn't a coalition leader, anyway.
 * The Sultanate of Baghdad builds up its military as Baghdad sends more military aid to help the Arabian Federation.
 * The Sultanate of Kuwait builds up its  military as Kuwait sends more military aid to help the Arabian Federation. Sultan Faisal also considers joining the war fully to seize one of Ethiopia or India's colonies for his own.
 * The Maldives builds up its military as military aid is sent to help the Arabian Federation.
 * The Republic of Comchellak expands its military to help enforce the Republic's control over its new territories and to send more military aid to help the Arabian Federation in their new war. The Comchellak leadership decides not to get further involved in the war in case it leaves the Republic open to Welsh attack.
 * Reiches Großraum Bayern: Emperor Alexander speaks in the Reichstag, defending his support of the Arabian Federation in the war. The Weltzeituhr Zeitung continues to produce newspapers the first foreign news office is opened in Saxony. Followed by a Berlin office. The thermomenter grows in use as well as the new fire extingisher in fighting fires. The Klaviertone (piano) continues to gain widespread appeal. The governement orders a new industrialization plan put into place, the goal is to make Bavaria a positive capital of industry in the future, these efforts are expected to take some time to complete.
 * Normandy:The military expands. The Hudson Bay and Alaskan colonies expand 1200 sq km. Mogadishu agrees to become a protectorate of Normandy, willing to begin the process of entering Norman sovereignty, which will take a few years. Diplomats continue to be sent to Oyo, Ifo and Benin.
 * The Mayan Empire decides to send military supplies in good will to its ally Germany, as redemption for the scars left by the last war. The Empire continues trade with European colonies and the Lakota. The Juun family continues setting up schools. More roads are built in the southern portion of the Empire to allow raw goods to be transported more easily. Training drills are conducted by the military. The Royal Science Academy continues work on scientific projects. Flax and tobacco are grown. Linen is produced in Mutul and Azteca. Kappelism continues gaining followers. Money is invested in regional projects to promote wealth and business. Middle class families continue rising to prominence in some of the more wealthy provinces, as well as some of the less wealthy provinces. The Empire expands north 8000 km. Xaman expands 5150 km and Haven expands 3100 km.
 * Apache continues expanding 8000 km southeast in search of better water sources.
 * Kaliforno expands 7000 km southeast.
 * The Great Haruwin of the Selk'nam: expands to the South and West of Teushen Yijich as vast ranches are set up by the quickly civilizing Teushen (I'm taking OTL Güer Aike Department, Argentina - as well as the Chilean land south of it to the Strait of Magellan). Meanwhile, half of the the newly re-named Royal Circus is dispatched on a voyage to Dutch Argentium, Orissan Patagonia, and Portuguese Rio da Prata. Great Chief Cornelius Tuch'huelpe, who still serves and the chief adviser of the circus, personally chooses the acts for the diplomatic mission and oversees their training. Two great ships are loaded with a company of fifteen acrobats, thirty dancing guanacos, ten fire-eaters, nine dancing seals, and five trained penguins. Also included is a new trick where an acrobat balances on the back of a speeding gunaco as the animal runs under a row of flaming hoops - with the rider somersaulting through each hoop. Permanent emissaries to each colony travel with the party along with five priests of K'onip and thirty monks. The monks seek permission to establish Selk'nam monasteries in Argentium and Rio da Prata - for the purpose of promoting the cult of Saint Maughold of K'onip as the first Atlantian saint and a patron for the continent. (Also, as always, my circus' success or failure in your colony is up to you ;-) 
 * France, La Marche, Rhaetia, Lorraine, Tyrol and Occitania's militaries are updated, and Nouvelle Bourgogne expands 2500 sq km, while Brasilea and Baie d'Eric (Erik's Bay) expand by 1500 sq km and La Riviere expands by 1000 sq km.
 * In the United Maharajya, ideas sweep across the nation. As more air furnaces are built, the intellectual minds show more interest in the workings of the machines. Many scientists continue to work in the biological field, and many efforts begin to give fruit as it is discovered that crops need some specific needs. The NOC begins to develop more trading routes in Europe. The SOC pumps in money to expand existing ports all around its routes to increase their capabilities and hopefully increase profit.

 * Mataram continues to build up its military while the Spice trade only continues to increase their economic power.
 * Rajputana expands its colony by 4100 km inland. It sees a growth in trust with the United Maharajya as ideas of the air furnace are traded.
 * Wales's Census, which was ordered by the King on behalf of the new Parliament, comes back with good success, but it comes back as negative for the King, who realizes his population is nothing in comparision to other nations. Notably, the public education continues, which is proven to have brought about a raise in the middle class. The civil war between the emirs continues, with the city of Fes and the Atlas region being firmly under pro-Welsh control. Welsh assistance continues. The military and economy rise.
 * Wales asks Italy, Orissa, Ethiopia, Russia, Japan and all other nations with huge populations to share technology with us and to help us grow our population.
 * Britain's population in 1775 was around six or seven million. You are fine.
 * We may be "fine", but we realize that other nations have insanely huge populations, and are worried that those nations could easily have success in a war against us. We want to grow our population to 25 million by 1800.
 * England, Scotland, Belfast, Cork, and Brittany grow their militaries and economies. Cork and Belfast have their tensions lowered when a study comes out showing the utter decimation their nations would face under a war between each other. British-Welsh relations are mostly resolved, as the King of England is granted a large sum of gifts and gold from Gavin III. The WTC oversees the expansion of De Mor Tir 3000 sq km, as Aber Dinas also grows 3000 sq km. The Wesh Royal Coast is sent tons of missionaries, and it grows 10,000 sq km.
 * Korea: The Revolution continues and the King comes out as supporting the rebels, stating that Korea is a free land, and no longer shall we be puppets of other nations. Korea will make its own path, and deal with its consequences and benefits. With this statement and the King, who officialy is the head of the Korea before the Revolution breaking out, taking the rebels side, this gives the rebels a large amount of claim to ruling Korea legally. The King declares that all German and European civillians are not to be harmed, and that there property adn the property of all Euroepan nations will not be harmed. But with the King siding with the rebels, the morale is greatly boosted, and Rebel forces take the name of the Korean Liberation Army (KLA), and after a bloody battle near Seoul, it takes the city and a majority of southern Korea. A battle in the north takes Pyonyang and much of northern Korea as well, leaving only the central areas of Korea under puppet control. But that will have to wait til later, as the year is drawing to a close and the KLA needs to rebuild the devastated regions under it control. The two regions of Korea under KLA control are allowed to elect representatives to a new Korean Assembly, which is sort of a legislature and is made in hope of making the people aprove of the KLA and freedom from German influence.
 * Kingdom of the Netherlands: King Niejmen I continues to improve the military, focusing on the navy, and also economy expands. Argentium colony expands 3000 km north. Chile colony expands the north coast 1000 km. Netherlands continue sending the army.
 * Oldeburg, Liege, Acech-Pasai, Kongo, Dutch Persia, Iceland expand economy and army. Kongo expands 10,000 sq km north.

1723

 * The Mononobe Shogunate builds up the military. More Taoist Temples and Shinto Shrines are built throughout the nation and in the colony of Miyako.

Taoism in Kasodani continues to rise in popularity and more Taoist Temples are built. Aid and clean up continues in Japan for those affected by the earthquake, tsunami and volcano. Shogun Mononobe Nobukazu accepts the Welsh offer, and also asks them for a trade agreement.
 * What was the Welsh offer, again? LOL.
 * The sharing of technology and helping growing the Welsh population, from 1722.
 * Portugal, Aragon, Castille, León, Navarra and Granada prepare their militaries. Meanwhile in Castille, Maria Gómez de Silva gives birth to a girl, who is named Berengaria. Meanwhile in Portugal, José Nunes de Lara, the Prince of Galicia, marries Leonor de Avis, daughter of João VII de Avis, Duke of Coimbra. Meanwhile, Santo Amaro expands 500 sq km, Guiné expands 500 sq km, Loanda expands 500 sq km, Sofala expands 400 sq km, and Índia expands 500 sq km. Meanwhile in Brasil, Paranaguá expands 4300 sq km, and In Rio da Prata, Santa Maria expands 4200 sq km.
 * Wales asks Portugal for an alliance.
 * France: With the growth expected by King François. Carthage is officially make part of the Crown of France, (he allowed me influence over him and his Queen is married to my king). This causes a partial division of the Empire forming within itself the Duchies of Numidia and of Leptis Magna, the Colonies expand, La Marche, Rhaetia, Lorraine, Tyrol and Occitania's militaries are updated, and Nouvelle Bourgogne expands 2500 sq km, while Brasilea and Baie d'Eric (Erik's Bay) expand by 1500 sq km and La Riviere expands by 1000 sq km. In Carthage the King and Queen enter the city with a Cross held high and shouting "In Tui nomen Nobis Patri." The Kingdom becomes a Nominal empire as King François takes the name Imperator Francorum et Africanis, While this, as well, it asks the Pope to join the French Confederation and asks Normandy to develop a constitution for the French Confederation. A new alliance is offered for the Mayans and as an approach to re-establish the broken ties with once great allied nations.
 * Collie, could you keep posting for me for more time? My family is on financial issues and we are trying to decrease the incoming bills. I will come a few times, but not as often as before, so could you keep posting for me, please?
 * What part of Carthage are you giving Bavaria in exchange for an alliance? send me the map edit to my talkpage.Andr3w777 (talk) 20:20, June 5, 2013 (UTC)
 * Reiches Großraum Bayern: Bavarian Cyrenaica begins to colonize the parts of black near Bavarian holdings (Collie, I own a portion of Cyrenaica as per a deal struck with Airlinesguy. It is in the southern part and borders Carthage. My question is how do I colonize in the black area?) The Weltzeituhr Zeitung begins printing news on the war and using propaganda to bolster support of the war in Europe. The Klaviertone (piano) continues to gain widespread appeal. Industry is expanded. As a gesture of good will to our longstanding ally, Italia, a gift of 200 Klaviertones. Education undergoes a modernization campaign. The Emperor travels to Portugal to discuss a trade deal. Johanne Ambrosius becomes a famous and much sought after composer from the city of Nuremburg, Ambrosius is incredibly talented on the harpschord, klaviertone, voilin and organs. His first major work titled the Munchen Concertos garners much success, the Emperor even watches all six concertos. Highly pleased, the Emperor gifts Ambrosius 200,000 Bavarian Adlers as well as an honorary title (Johanne Ambrosius is an ATL of Johann Sebastian Bach, whose middle name was Ambrosius.)
 * France: We offer a division of the Carthaginian Empire Eastern Border with the Bavarian Cyrenaica and an alliance and non-aggression pact.
 * Bavaria accepts.
 * First, I think you just post 'Bavarian Cyrenaica expands 10,000 sq km', and can I get my land back if you get adequate land from the Carthaginian Empire? Airlinesguy (talk) 06:27, June 5, 2013 (UTC)
 * I will lease the territory from you for 50 years, this will give me time to expand my colonies and gain my Carthaginian territories.
 * You can't just expand a colony by 10,000 sq km. Since it's your first, it's got to be 200 sq km for the first five years.
 * Italia thanks Bavaria for the Klaviertones and many musicians in Italia rapidly flock to operas that feature them.]
 * Italia declares its stance of neutrality in regards to the Arabian-Ethiopian war but also declares its moral support for the Arabian attack on Yemen citing the closer cultural ties between the two areas. Italia continues to trade with both sides allowing significant economic growth. Italia hands over Nuovo Milano to Ethiopia and receives Tasmania which is incorporated into Nuovo Brescia. Meanwhile, Italian troops are stationed at the Saint Thomas mission as Ethiopia hands over the territory to the Confederation troops. Italia seeks a diplomatic end to the war and relays the Saxon offer of a truce, Saxon withdrawal and a non-agression pact for 100 years. Italia also encourages the other belligerent states to come to the negotiating table. Malacca expands by 5000 sq km while the Aymaras and Nya Gyptios expand by 10,000 sq km each. Nuovo Brescia expands by 8500 sq km along the coastline.
 * Ethiopia agrees to the truce with Saxony, and requests that Saxony leave our territory.
 * Cyprus continues to expand its economy. Nea Lefkosia is expanded by 1500 sq km, Nea Larnaka is expanded by 1500 sq km and Nea Lemesos is expanded by 1500 sq km.
 * UMSHM: A general ceasefire is declared in West Africa as the government continues negotiations with the Ethiopians (via Italian mediators) for the return of Saint Thomas. However, troops remain in currently occupied portions of Ethiopian West Africa until the negotiations are finalised. The Chief Minister joins the call by the Italians for both sides to come to the table of negotiation. This is 1723, nations are too enlightened to solve conflicts by war alone. He suggests that the main belligerents (Ethiopia and the Arab confederation) do a land swap (or land for sphere of influence somewhere else swap). This would save countless lives and prevent the devastation of another "World War". The Sachsische Zeitung and its more global-minded mother-paper, the Weltuhr Zeitung become more widely read due to the war. The Harpsichord remains more popular than the Klaviertone, but the latter is gaining popularity, especially with the rise of Johann Ambrosius. The King-Duke requests the composer come on a tour of the Wettin Lands in the near future. In other news, an election is planned for next year.
 * Johanne Ambrosius declares he will gladly hold a concert in Saxony, just give him a date.
 * UMSHM: The Primate is greatly pleased at the prospect of having the Saint Thomas Mission once more, and prepares a large group of Deacons and priests to re-Catholicise the area. Missionary activity on the Aru Islands continues, due in part to the ceasefire.?
 * Korea: The KLA officialy becomes the army of the Kingdom of Korea. The puppet regime, or whats left of it, soon takes up the name the Korean Nationalist Front (KNF), and continues attempting to resist the legitimate government of King Din-Ho I. After the cold season ends, the King and the Korean Assembly both agree to launch one final campaign against the KNF, which starts in March with an offensive from northern and southern Korea into KNF central Korea. The campaign is bloody, but slowly and surely the Korean forces conquer the central region of the peninsula, liberating their country from foreign influence. King Din-Ho declares an era of unity and nationalism for the Korean peoples, and construction of new roads and harbors begins across the newly re-united nation. An alliance is offered to The Mononobe Shogunate and India (sorry, can't remember the name). Italia is offered trading privileges and the free use of Korean ports in return for an alliance.
 * I would like to presume that you did not see last year's mod event, but I am inclined to believe the contrary. You need an  algorithm .
 * The Lithuanians declare war against Prussia.


 * Papal States: The Pope begins a new way of democratization in the Papal States by creating the council of representatives for the people. The Papal States begins turning Rome into a thriving metropolis. Can someone fill me in on the current situations, the rules and comment on my posts? Octivian Marius (talk) 15:58, June 5, 2013 (UTC)
 * Mali: Mali expands 10,000 sq km to the west. The military expands. Wolof, Gabu and Mossi contribute to the economy. Hausa and Bergu continue to be surrounded by the military.

 * Oldeburg, Liege, Acech-Pasai, Kongo, Dutch Persia, Iceland expand economy and army. Kongo expands 10,000 sq km north.
 * A few air furnaces are brought to Russia from Italia, but they remain in isolated workshops in Moscow, Novgorod, Kiev, and Minsk, and are by no means widespread, but they do, however, help the economy grow. The Russian Duma grants the right to free speech in the Duma, so that no man that is member of the Duma can be held accountable for his words outside the Duma, and the freedom from arrest 40 days after cession of the Duma,. this type of act was already happening and de facto practiced and has been in place since the founding of the Duma. it is just formalized by the Rights of Man act,  that added these lines to the Great Ryad of The Russian realm: "No Duma or Veche shall make any laws restricting their right to free speech, dissent, and truth to citizens of the realms of the Russian Tsar while within Great Russia's boundaries. Members of the Duma of Novgorod shall also be granted immunity from the law up to 40 days since the last session of the Duma attended, else the arrest be political or until proven otherwise in front of a judge." Russia officially declares neutrality on the conflict regarding Ethiopia and Arabia.
 * It's too early for you to industrialize.
 * I'm not industrializing. They were brought over from Italy in a joint science thing...we still don't know how to make them, but our excuse in 1740 will be we reverse-engineered one and started making our own. There is only one in those cities mentioned.
 * The Minskite Duma passes a similar law to the Russian Rights of Man act, works on military.
 * The Grand Principality of Suur-Suomi passes a similar law to the Russian and Minskite Rights of Man act.
 * The Mayan Empire continues to send military supplies to Germany. The Empire continues trade with European colonies and the Lakota. The Juun family continues setting up schools.

 * In the United Maharajya, the war hits home as German troops, who were thought to be allies, invade the mainland. Their attack is easily repulsed, and a small headway into Mysore is made. As more air furnaces are built, the intellectual minds show more interest in the workings of the machines. Many scientists continue to work in the biological field, and begin to realise that changing the crops in a field could help them grow. The NOC begins to develop more trading routes in Europe. The SOC pumps in money to expand existing ports all around its routes to increase their capabilities and hopefully increase profit. They continue to buy out competition from Palembang and Butung, to increase their economic holdings, all in the name of Mataram. Naya Mataram grows 200 km onto Sulwasi. Patagonshina grows by 4000 km in South America, focusing to expand on the Dutch colonial border. Cebu begins to vassalise Sulu, buying out many competitiors in its markets and beginning to make the nation economically dependent on them. It also forces through Missionaries, who begin to convert many of the remaining Muslims in the nation. The war against the Arabians continues, helping the Ethiopians push the Arabians out. Yet more troops drafted help push out the Germans as well.
 * Mataram continues to build up its military while the Spice trade only continues to increase their economic power. Being a co-belligerent, they send in a lot more troops.
 * Rajputana expands its colony by 4100 km inland. It sees a growth in trust with the United Maharajya as ideas of the air furnace are traded.

Neu Berlin expands 6000 sq km towards Eriksmark. Chimu expands 1500 sq km north and Vinland expands 1000 sq km north along the Antillian coast. The Germanics invade Adal and Warsangali, hoping to gain more land. (This makes them leaders. Check. But not yet mate.)
 *  Wales's    Census is made public. There are four million people in Wales, three million in Scotland, three million in Ireland, three million in England, and two million in Brittany. He begins to use new technologies to increase life span, birth rates and life expectancy. He sends military aid to fight with Germany, a notable ally, and asks his vassal to do the same. Public education contiues to be powerful, and Welsh grows as a regional language as a result. Morocco is safely under the control of the Welsh-backed Emir, who swears fealty to King Gavin III in Gavin's trip to Morocco. The military and economy rise.
 *  England, Scotland, Belfast, Cork, and Brittany    grow their militaries and economies. All vassal agree to send military suplies to fight with Germany. The WTC oversees the expansion of De Mor Tir 3000 sq km, as Aber Dinas also grows 3000 sq km. The Wesh Royal Coast is sent missionaries, and it grows 10,000 sq km.
 * Ethiopia expands its military and economy, as well as those of all Ethiopian vassal states. The colony of Borona is expanded by 250 km, and the colony of Warqama expanded by 3250 km.
 * The Levantine Kingdom builds up its military as the Levant's New Syria colony expands 4000 sq km inland as the campaign against the Xhosa natives continues.

Catholicism continues to take hold, with a full half of the population now reported to be Catholic, shamanic terrorist activity has become sporadic, with most of the shamanist population joining the state-approved Hain of Lao Tzu. It is also reported that most of the nobility in the new Teushen colonies has converted to Catholicism and churches are being build quickly. The island of K'onip and the capital city of Ona Yagich are almost entirely Catholic, with the citizens of K'onip being especially pious as the devotion to St. Maughold grows. The Franciscans of K'onip increasingly practice rites specifically invented by Maughold, and after ancountering their fellow Franciscans from the mainland, realize that they have become distinct. They send word to the Pope asking to be granted their own order, the Maugholdians, who are to be distinguished by their seal-skin habits. The Hain of Lao Tzu is increasingly relegated to the rural areas but still enjoys the support of 40% of the population. The remaining 10% continue to practice pure Taoism under the Mononobe-trained clergy in the city of Miyako Yagich. However, Taoists have far more influence than thier population suggests, as they control the fishing and shipbuilding operations. The Royal Circus returns from their successful tour, having left behind the emissaries and priests. (Portugal and Netherlands please respond to my offers to build Maugholdian monasteries in your colonies - I think this can be a unifying thing).
 * Reiches Großraum Bayern: The Weltzeituhr continues to be produced in mass numbers. The Bavarian Minisrty of Foriegn relations asks France what portions of Carthage is owned by Bavaria. The war continues, though support for the war begins to drop dramtically as it is being seen as a pointless war for Bavaria by many of the populace. However, the Emperor declares that Bavaria will remain in the war, citing Bavaria is honorbound to its allies and will aid in all ways. The Department of Population Logistics announces the results of the 1722 census and it is revealed that more and more Bavarians are migrating to the cities, with Munchen, Nuremburg and Prague showing the largest growth, up almost 20% from previous studies. Industry continues to expand, Bavaria asks Italia or Russia for help in manufacturing its own furnaces. Johanne Ambrosius holds a massive concert in Saxony titled Die Grosse Concerto and is met with great acclaim. Klaviertones continue to grow in popularity, with many Bavarian artists almost completely replacing their harpsichords in preference to the superior sound of the klaviertone. The Emperor is seeking a bride.

In other news, Saxon troops are withdrawn from occupied territories, and troops march triumphantly into Saint Thomas, newly reunited with the rest of Saxon Australis. Although Saxony has been maneuvered out of the war, the rest of the Confederation of the Rhine, showing a rare bit of initiative, fights on, assisting the Arabs and their allies. The King-Duke, now 23, is in want of a wife.
 * Primatial Magdeburg: The church bells ring out continuously for twelve hours straight at the news (brought to you by the Weltuhr Zeitung) that Ethiopia officially handed  Saint Thomas back to the Saxon Authorities. A large task force of missionaries follows the soldiers into the regained territory, and begins re-introducing Catholicism to a susceptible, and largely sympathetic, population.


 * Saint Thomas is Perth? ~Viva
 * Yes, callum established it centuries ago. Scandinator (talk)
 * Actually, having looked back at my posts which established Saint Thomas (in 1680), it appears it was actually located at OTL Darwin. Ethiopia began its occupation of Saint Thomas (Darwin) in 1700. A mission was established in Perth even earlier (1649), but it was occupied by the Kooris in 1699. Since they have been defeated, it should technically be mine...since no one else has seems to want it...Callumthered (talk) 21:11, June 6, 2013 (UTC) 
 * Myanmar Oceania is built on the ruins of St. Thomas after the Koori defeat.


 * The Mayan Empire continues to send military supplies to Germany. The Empire continues trade with European colonies and the Lakota. The Juun family continues setting up schools.

 * But on the map it is black, and where can I colonize then? Octivian Marius (talk) 14:29, June 6, 2013 (UTC)
 * If you look closely they are dark red. Scandinator (talk)
 * And there is something else about your post last year. your capital is Avignon, not Rome.

 * ​The war finished. Your side lost.
 * Really now? How come the algorithm states pending?
 * We won. No worries. ~ S
 * Dimurats: military, infrastructure and economy are improved.
 * UMSHM: Saint Boniface in Australis is expanded 1000 km sq along the coast toward newly-regained Saint Thomas (which is the Ethiopian-coloured blob closest to the Saxon colony). Ethiopian settlers in Saint Thomas are allowed to remain, so long as they swear an oath of allegiance to the Saxon throne. In Saxon West Africa, a small university is founded to cater for the growing number of immigrant Germans, as well as for Africans deemed intelligent enough to enter. A branch office of the Welszeituhr and its Saxon sunsidiary Sachsische Allgemeine also open in the colony, bringing the world's newd to even theis tropical region of the Saxon realm (although, admittedly, several months late).
 * So, just for the record, Saint Thomas is OTL Darwin (and must be the small blob with Ethiopian colourings in the North of Australia). OTL Perth, it appears, belongs to Myanmar. Callumthered (talk) 10:43, June 7, 2013 (UTC)
 * The Confederation of the Rhine (excluding Saxony and Luxemburg): The member-states fight on in the war. The Prince of Anhalt attends his daughter's wedding in Munich.

 * The Republic of Comchellak expands its economy as the new territories are developed and the war brings lots of ships to the Republic to port and re-supply.
 * Russia updates its military. Due to the New laws concerning the difference between citizens and non-citizens, the Duma and all the Veches approve of a law that would aid in "naturalizing" foreign citizens. This process is easier for traders, who only have to live in Russia for one year, as opposed to others, who have to do so for five, and all must know Russian or the regional language. More ships are built and two other North Stars enter construction.
 * Normandy: The military expands. Mogadishu is now a protectorate. The Hudson Bay and Alaskan colonies expand by 1600 sq km.
 * Mali: Mali pushes 10,000 sq km to the NW. Mossi, Gabu and Wolof contribute to the economy. The military expands as well due to the vassals. The economy is also stimulated by the trade pact with the Netherlands.

The WTC oversees the expansion of De Mor Tir 3000 sq km, as Aber Dinas also grows 3000 sq km. The Wesh Royal Coast and Morocco grow by 10,000 sq km each, and both are sent missionaries.
 * The usual, if you wonder why I am posting for Rex. He said that he will not be able to post until after tomorrow, and asked me to post for him.
 * The Germanic states expand their militaries. Victory is near for the brave and strong German soldiers as Orientalian areas as well as others regions have been captured from the nearly defeated Indians and Orissans. Eriksmark is annexed to Neu Berlin as they have connected. Now they expand inland (east) towards Vinland by 6000 sq km, which is expanding along the coast of ANTILLIA, not GREENLAND. Chimu expands 10,000 sq km north. Vinland expands 3000 sq km north along the Antillian coast. The klaviertone is introduced to the Germanic main states.

This is hailed as a major milestone for the company, Meanwhile, Gibraltar allies itself with Morocco. Neu Berlin is upgraded to Crown Colony of the Germanic Empire.
 * The Lithuanians continue to fight the Prussians.

1726

Meanwhile, Santo Amaro expands 500 sq km, Guiné expands 500 sq km, Loanda expands 500 sq km, Sofala expands 400 sq km, and Índia expands 500 sq km. Meanwhile in Brasil, São Vicente expands 4300 sq km, and in Paranaguá, a village called Nossa Senhora do Desterro is founded, on an island called Santa Catarina by the Portuguese.and In Rio da Prata, Paraguai expands 4200 sq km. Meanwhile, the 1724 Selk'nam offer to establish monasteries is received, although quite late, and accepted.


 * The Great Haruwin of the Selk'nam completes its gun manufacturing project, ensuring that every Selk'nam soldier is armed with a modern musket. The Maugholdian Order embarks on a monastery-building project around the Haruwin, in addition to the community at K'onip, the group in Ona Yagich builds a formal monastery, while permanent monasteries are built on the sites of missions in Gununa Yagich, Teushen Yijich, and (controversially) the Taoist stronghold Miyako Yagich. The Taoist nobles of the area complain that the Catholic Church is overstepping its bounds by infringing on the only monolithically Taoist area of the country. However, the head of the Maugholdian Order, Friar Patrick says that the word of Christ must be spread everywhere. The Hain of Lao Tzu, however, does not object to the construction of new monasteries as their followers are mostly in the rural regions.  Late in the year, a warrior in Teushen Yijich claims to have been miraculously healed after suffering a mortal wound in a skirmish with raiding border tribes - attributing the event to his prayers to the martyr king David Chongat Yagich. The warrior claims that, after losing arn arm and nearly bleeding to death, gangrene infected his amputated limb. After having been told by doctors that he had just hours to live, he claims that that gangrene in his limb disappeared. Grateful for his life, the warrior immediately joins the local monastery, where he takes the name of Brother Ignatius. Great Chief Cornelius Tuch'huelpe sends word of this miracle to the Pope in Avignon,  asking that the miracle be seen as evidence for the beatification of King David Chongat Yagich. 
 * Cyprus continues to develop its economy. Cyprus also continues to send aid to Cyrenaica to stabilise the nation's food imports. Crete and Anatolia also send aid. Nea Lefkosia is expanded by 1500 sq km, Nea Larnaka is expanded by 1500 sq km and Nea Lemesos is expanded by 1500 sq km.
 * Myanmar: Myanmar Afrika expands by 1000 sq km. Myanmar Oceania expands by 1000 sq km. Urbanization continues using the lumber in Northern Myanmar. Taoist becomes the largest religion in Myanmar and Taoist Temples and monastries are built. It is followed by Islam and Christianity. The King becomes a Taoist, increasing happiness and stability in the nation.
 * UMSHM: King-Duke Eugen II is still in search of a wife. In politics, an election is held (a year late) and CM Hans' progressives are deprived from their majority. The conservatives led by Graf Franz zu Heinelburg form a coalition government with the "Colonial Faction" of imperialists. The Saint Boniface colony expands  1000 sq km East towards Saint Thomas. Just out of interest, could it be possible for this colony (and all Australian colonies not in the East) to expand a bit faster? Most of the land I'm expanding into is basically a desert, and barely populated, even today. I think it is unrealistic that it is subject to the same expansion rates as a colony expanding into reasonably well-populated (and arable) Africa or North America. More shares of the REIAC are bought by Aboriginal groups, and the Bishop purchases 20% of shares for the Diocese of Western Australis. In Africa, the colony recovers from the damage caused by the war. The university accepts its second intake of students, and the more fashionable settlers and merchants read the Weltzeituhr and the Sachsische Zeitung regularly, despite the fact that all news is outdated by the time it is printed. This causes the Governor to authorise the printing of the Westafrikanische Zeitung, a local imprint of the Sachsische Zeitung. It covers local stories as well as shipping and merchant news. The colony's first Klaviertone arrives, and causes quite a stir at a salon held by the Governor. The colony expands 1000 sq km South along the coast, and settlers arrive proportionally.
 * Confederation of the Rhine: (Excluding Saxony and Luxemburg) Another expeditionary force is sent to assist the allies in Saxon ships requisitioned by the Confederation with His majesty's permission.
 * Primatial Magdeburg: The Primate, hearing of the creation of a missionary order in the Antarctic (ie Tierra del Fuego) by its Catholic ruler, sends an emmisary to the Great Haruwin to establish relations between the two states. His Emminence also sends a group of missionaries from the Holy Wettin Missionary Order to assist the Antarcticans establish an effective missionary corps. Missionary activity expands with the borders of the Afrian and Australisian colonies. On the Aru Islands, enough locals have been converted by the Order to merit the creation of a Diocese: the Catholic Diocese of the East Indies.
 * Italia is horrified at the outcome of the war and seeks to find a way to settle the territorial issue in such a way that future incidents will not occur. Humanist ideas continue to spread in Italia with many being to view slavery as immoral. After a meeting of several lords and governors with vast land holdings in Central Nuovo Venexia, they simultaneously agree to release their slaves and outlaw slavery in their territories. This causes the slavery market to collapse overnight and the colony of St John (West Africa) to become unviable. Plans are made to exchange it for other lands elsewhere on the planet. The economy is expanded and Italia declares war on the state of Ternate to expand Nuovo Brescia. Nuovo Brescia is able to expand at 8500 sq km with the influx of soldiers and the Aymaras and Nya Gyptios expand by 10,000 sq km while Malacca expands by 5000 sq km.
 * Which war are you shocked about? Germany and Arabia vs India and Ethiopia?
 * The Levantine Kingdom builds up its military as the Levant's New Syria colony expands 4000 sq km inland as the campaign against the Xhosa natives continues. The Levant seeing the war is coming to a close begins wondering if it should join to invade Sudan to expand the Kingdom southward into Sudan. Queen Mary tells her generals who are planning this not to bother and to remain neutral.
 * The Arabian Federation continues the war on several fronts. As the war enters its 6th year of the conflict, the Sheik council re-elects Emir Jassim of Qatar to be Sultan for his second term. This is done to ensure that the Federation stays on track with its leadership and that a change in Sultan could devastate war efforts which are currently going very well. This annoys Emir Badr al Din of Shaybah whose armies had captured lots of land in Yemen and earned him the nickname the White Emir of Victory. This war hero came second in the Sultan elections, and he begins planning a grand campaign to capture the rest of Yemen and to ensure his election next year on the basis of his war victories, intelligence and political power as Emir of Shaybah.
 * The Arabian Caliphate continues the war on several fronts. As elections loom next year, Sheik Khalil of Mecca looks set to stay in power due to his successful war campaign in Yemen.
 * The Sultanate of Baghdad builds up its military as Baghdad sends more military aid to help the Arabian Federation.
 * The Sultanate of Kuwait builds up its military as Kuwait sends more military aid to help the Arabian Federation.
 * The Maldives builds up its economy as the war brings lots of ships to the Maldives to port and re-supply.
 * The Republic of Comchellak expands its economy as the new territories are developed and the war brings lots of ships to the Republic to port and re-supply.
 * The Mayan Empire continues to send military supplies to Germany. The Empire continues trade with European colonies and the Lakota. The Juun family continues setting up schools. Most of the roads in the southern part of the Empire are now updated, making travel easier. Training drills are conducted by the military. The Royal Science Academy continues work on scientific projects. Flax and tobacco are grown. Linen is produced in Mutul and Azteca. Kappelism continues gaining followers. Money is invested in regional projects to promote wealth and business.

 * Kaliforno: expands 7000 km southeast.
 * The Lithuanians continue to fight the Prussians.
 * Reiches Großraum Bayern: The Weltzeituhr continues to be produced in mass numbers. Due to the distance needed to travel to the colonies, the Weltzeituhr opens the Der Afrikanische Colonial Digest which will report on more local news as well as merchant related news pieces. Industry continues to expand, Bavaria asks Italia or Russia for help in manufacturing its own furnaces. Johanne Ambrosius continues to produce world class symphonies. He travels to Bavarian Carthage to host a major concert there. Klaviertones continue to grow in popularity, with many Bavarian artists almost completely replacing their harpsichords in preference to the superior sound of the klaviertone. Many Bavarians of the upper and middle classes adopt a more humanist stance and begin to write on secular ideas as well as the "Law of Man" in which all men are equal. The Reichstag is approached with a bill to outlaw salvery, a practice that was never very big in Bavaria anyway, Reichstag is expected to make a decision next year. The war still rages on in defense of the Empire's allies. Bavarian Carthage and Bavarian Cyrenaica both expand by 200 sq km each. (Is it possible to add Bavaria's holdings in Carthage and Cyrenaica on the map, they still aren't displayed.)
 * Look, you won't get help with furnaces until your turn for industrialization comes.
 * Somali Sultanate: We mobilize our armies and declare war on Ethiopia and join our Muslim brothers.
 * Normandy: The military expands. The Hudson Bay and Alaskan colonies grow by 1800 sq km. Mogadishu is now a protectorate. Plans for the puppetization of Oyo are formed.

 * The Germanic states expand their militaries. The great war is almost done. Neu Berlin expands 6000 sq km inland. Vinland expands 3000 sq km north and west along the Antillian coast. Chimu expands 10,000 sq km north. Celebrations across the Empire begin.
 * In the United Maharajya, the war takes its toll. Land hard fought for is lost to the Germans, and people flee in huge numbers to territories controled by the army. It is uncertain as to what will happen. Many scientists continue to work in the biological field, and begin to realise that changing the crops in a field could help them grow. The NOC begins to develop more trading routes in Europe. The SOC pumps in money to expand existing ports all around its routes to increase their capabilities and hopefully increase profit. They continue to buy out competition from Palembang and Butung, to increase their economic holdings, all in the name of Mataram. Naya Mataram grows 200 km onto Sulwasi. Patagonshina grows by 4000 km in South America, focusing to expand on the Dutch colonial border. Cebu begins to vassalise Sulu, buying out many competitiors in its markets and beginning to make the nation economically dependent on them. It also forces through Missionaries, who begin to convert many of the remaining Muslims in the nation. The war against the Arabians continues, helping the Ethiopians push the Arabians out. Yet more troops drafted help push out the Germans as well. The army is improved to bolster defences.
 * Mataram continues to build up its military while the Spice trade only continues to increase their economic power. Being a co-belligerent, they send in a lot more troops.
 * Rajputana expands its colony by 4100 km inland. It sees a growth in trust with the United Maharajya as ideas of the air furnace are traded. Its army is improved and re-organised.
 * Ethiopian forces fall back to the homeland to lick their wounds and re-organize their defenses. The military is expanded to compensate for the losses, with the aid of the Indian military helping to bolster the Ethiopian war effort. The economy is expanded as well to help provide for the military effort as well, with many Ethiopian citizens employed in the munition factories to provide the war materiel needed for the conflict. Wärqama is expanded by 1500 km, and Yäwah Wäjäb expanded by 1000 km. The colonies of Borona and Koräbta Däset are both expanded by 250 km each. The third years of vassaling the Igbo continues.
 * Adal expanded its military and economy, as well as sending additional troops to assist the Ethiopian military. The Ethiopian population overtakes what little is left of the Adalese culture, expunging the remnants of the Muslim nation from historical records.
 * Warsangali expands its military and economy, and sends military forces to the front with Arabia to aid in pushing the Muslim threat back. The Ethiopian population continues to grow, and wartime fears grow to a fever pitch, seeing Ethiopian Christian refugees recently arrived from Yemen murder large numbers of Warsangali Muslims in revenge for the loss of their homeland.
 * Yoruba expands its military and economy, sending monetary support to Ethiopian and whatever warriors are free for combat to the Ethiopians. The Ethiopian population, including many refugees take up residence in Yoruba.
 * Maynila expands its military and economy, sending fresh troops and warships to Ethiopia to support the homeland. The Ethiopian population now consists of 50% of the total population in Maynila, and marginalization of the Filipino population continues.
 * Khmer Koch expands its military and economy, sending military support back to Ethiopia as it can. The Ethiopian population continues to expand with many coming from Ethiopian refugees fleeing the loss of Yemen.
 * The Southern Maori Kingdom expands its military and economy, sending whatever support it can to the fight in Africa. The Ethiopians on the South Island move into the cities while pushing the Maori into the country. Any that convert to Christianity and take up Ethiopian spouses are given priority over those who refuse. The Ethiopian government then tightens its grip over any dissent to the new policy.

1727

 * Portugal, León, Navarra, Aragon, Castille and Granada prepare their militaries. Meanwhile in Aragon, Maria Fernández de Híjar gives birth to a boy, who is named Ferran.

Taoism in Kasodani continues to rise in popularity and more Taoist Temples are built.
 * The Lithuanians end the war with the Prussians, annexing a fifth of the nation. Grand Duke Sigismund creates plans for an eventual Second Prussian War, but for now the army stands down. The Grand Duke still plans on eventually having the Lithuanian flag fly over the Prussian capital of Konigsburg. The Lithuanians grant German regional recognition in the conquered territory, but begin educating the former Prussians in Lithuanian.
 * Cyprus continues to expand its army and navy. Cyprus expands its colonies. Nea Lefkosia is expanded by 1500 sq km, Nea Larnaka is expanded by 1500 sq km and Nea Lemesos is expanded by 1500 sq km.
 * Crete also expands its army and navy.
 * Cyrenaica expands 10,000 sq km into Africa.
 * The Great Haruwin of the Selk'nam continues to invest in its military and economic capabilities. Great Chief Cornelius Tuch'huelpe also announces an initiative to boost his population, which he believes will be important to the Haruwin's development of its agricultural and fishing industries. He announces the "Chief's Guanaco" reward, which awards two guanaco to any family who brings their infant firstborn or fourth-born child to the Ona Yagich to be blessed at the Cathedral, and five guanacos to any family presenting their eighth-born. A grand award of foty guanacos is awarded to a family, chosen by chance, among those who present an infant for baptism at the Cathedral on the feast day of Saint Maughold of K'onip (such is the beginning of the great national "pilgrimage of mothers" on Saint Maughold's Day). Great Chief Cornelius Tuch'huelpe also received the delegation from Magdeburg, whom he takes to the island of K'onip to meet with Friar Patrick, the head of the Maugholdian Order. A decision is made that the Holy Wettin Missionary Order will be given a permanent monastery near Ona Yagich, and they are asked to assist in the missionary work among the newly integrated Teushen people. In return, Friar Patrick asks the emissaries to take the miraculously healed Brother Ignatius and ten others back to Magdeburg, in order to establish a monastery under the Rule of Saint Maughold. He claims to have seen a vison in which he saw Ignatius with a group of pale-faced, red-haired Europeans in Maugholdian habits, and believes that his vision must be fulfilled in Magdeburg. He also says he expects to one day meet black-skinned men, as his vision also included Maugholdian friars of that appearance. On hearing tell of the Magdeburgian colonies in Australis, he also asks that five of his men be allowed to found a mission there. 
 * ​Primatial Magdeburg: The primate agrees to all the requests and accepts the offer, and preparations are made for groups of Maugholdians to come and preach in Magdeburg and in Saint Thomas.
 * Reiches Großraum Bayern: The Weltzeituhr continues to be produced in mass numbers. The Der Afrikanische Colonial Digest continues print. Industry continues to expand. Many Bavarians of the upper and middle classes adopt a more humanist stance and begin to write on secular ideas as well as the "Law of Man" in which all men are equal. The Reichstag was approached last year with a bill to outlaw salvery, a practice that was never very big in Bavaria anyway, Reichstag votes in favor of banning slavery in all Bavaria's holdings. The war is coming to a close. Bavarian Carthage and Bavarian Cyrenaica both expand by 200 sq km each. (Is it possible to add Bavaria's holdings in Carthage and Cyrenaica on the map? They still aren't displayed.)
 * On the 1730 map.
 * If your population's getting humanist, and if you haven't done it already, I recommend emancipating your serfs. Callumthered (talk)
 * China expands its military and economy. New Manchuria expands by 5000 sq km while Baitudi expands by 1000 sq km. Meanwhile in Shanghai, citizens become discontented over China's lack of progress. Shanghai, which has become one of China's most important cities due to trading, has grown technologically while the rest of Ming China has fallen behind its potential. The Shanghai Revolution, a term coined for the booming industry in the city, has not grown past the city and its nearby towns. A protest over the urbanization of other cities in Beijing turns violent, with three civilians dead over the matter. In October, a man named Qi Kha Maru formally names a list of complaints over the Ming Dynasty.
 * Myanmar D: We advise China to start spending large amount of money into industrialising and modernising regions adjacent to Shanghai.
 * Myanmar: Myanmar Afrika expands by 1000 sq km. Myanmar Oceania expands by 1000 sq km. Urbanization continues using the lumber in Northern Myanmar. Industrialisation begins, as scholars are sent to Orissa, China and Italy to learn methods of mass-scale building. The first large Iron Factory is built in Rangoon with 100 workers and a daily output of one ton of iron.


 * Too big and too fast.
 * UMSHM: The two colonies are expanded 1000 sq km each: Saxon Africa to the South, and Saint Boniface to the East towards Saint Thomas. In St. Thomas, many settlers arrive, which causes a bit of friction with the Ethiopians there. However, the Governor makes it clear that the ethnic Ethiopians are Saxon subjects, and have the same rights as everyone else. They are offered a free German language course, to be given by the missionaries. In Saxon Norway, three new ships-of-the-line are churned out of the docks, and they go on manoeuvres around the Faroes.
 * Confederation of the Rhine: The Confed. (excluding Saxony) continues to fight the Ethiopians, and many believe the end of the war is in sight. The powerful "Colonialist" faction in the Bundestag pressures the Emperor (ther King-Duke of Saxony) to ask Italia if it would be willing to sell Saint John to the Confederation (this includes Saxony).
 * Italia is willing to sell to the Confederation.
 * Primatial Magdeburg: Preparations are made in Magdeburg and Saint Thomas for the arrival of the Maugholdians. The Saint Thomas Bible is printed in Saint Thomas. It has the text in German, Ethiopian and the local Aboriginal tongue. On the Aru Islands, a similar event takes place when the new Bishop unveils the first New Testament in the Aru language. This causes a surge in converts.
 * The Grand Navy sails to Ternate to crush the small island nation (will I need an algorithm for such a small nation compared to my size?). Plans for the full invasion are completed as skirmishes occur on the border of the under-developed island state with multiple Italian victories as the Ternatan army and navy grows more desperate. Aymaras and Nya Gyptios expand by 10,000 sq km each while Malacca expands by 5000 sq km. Nuovo Brescia expands along the coastline by 8500 sq km.
 * Yes, of course. You need an algorithm.

 * The Sultanate of Baghdad builds up its military as Baghdad sends more military aid to help the Arabian Federation. The Sultan sends more military aid but doesn't wish to have his nation enter full war if they can't gain anything from it.
 * The Sultanate of Kuwait builds up its military as Kuwait sends more military aid to help the Arabian Federation. Sultan Faisal decides to join the war fully so that Kuwait could gain territory to found a colony to spread Islam from.
 * The Maldives builds up its economy as the war brings lots of ships to the Maldives to port and re-supply.
 * The Republic of Comchellak expands its economy as the new territories are developed and the war brings lots of ships to the Republic to port and re-supply.

The WTC oversees the expansion of De Mor Tir 3000 sq km, as Aber Dinas also grows 3000 sq km. The Wesh Royal Coast and Morocco grow by 10,000 sq km each, and both are sent missionaries.
 * Russia works on its economy via trade relations with Italy. Russia aids Italy in recovering from economic downfall because of slave trade. Russia resumes its mapping of Siberia. The Chukotka Peninsula is claimed for the people of Russia by the Cossacks.
 * In the United Maharajya, the war continues. It is still uncertain as to what will happen. Many scientists continue to work in the biological field, and begin to realise that changing the crops in a field could help them grow. The NOC begins to develop more trading routes in Europe. The SOC pumps in money to expand existing ports all around its routes to increase their capabilities and hopefully increase profit.

Hatred of the Arabs grow to a fever pitch as the Muslims burn churches and rape and kill Christians throughout the much reduce empire. The Emperor vowes to return these lands to his people, and demands of the Merchant Council to shut off trade with Arabia, Germany, and the Mayans in response to their invasion. A new political ideal is founded in the empire, known as Look toward Africa. The empire decides it is time to focus on mother Africa instead of the rest of the world.

The King-Duke travels to Rome to personally assure the (king, emperor, doge?) of Italia of Saxony's undying friendship. He thanks him again for their role in returning Saint Thomas, and for the sale of Saint John. A movement amongst the newly-enfranchised middle classes arises calling for the abolition of serfdom in Saxony. This is fervently opposed by the rich landowners whose estates depend on free serf labour.

Saxon West Africa and Saint Boniface both expand 1000 sq km in their normal directions.

 * Primatial Magdeburg: Missionary activity increases everywhere, including in newly-acquired Saint John.
 * Chinese searches for Maru continue. In March, the Emperor announces the Shanghai Decree; any and all businesses helping known conspirators, terrorists, or otherwise in any way, including merely selling them or allowing them on the premises, will be shut down. Investigations begin to point to a shipyard in Shanghai being a hideout of Maru's followers. On April 15, Chinese troops storm Shanghai Dongfang Docks. The dock workers comply with the demands of the troops, but onlookers begin protesting at the scene. The troops, unable to stop the protest, begin threatening the crowd, lest the protest turn into a riot. At 3:12 PM, a civilian throws a rock at a guard. The civilian, said to be 23 year old Huan Krause, son of a German immigrant, is shot on the spot. The guards decide to ignore the protest, assuming the death of Krause was enough to scare the crowd into submission. The docks are searched and, in some areas, dismantled to find hidden areas. After a three day search, the Chinese declare the dock unaffiliated with Maru. Despite this, the docks are closed until further notice. Upon announcing this, the crowd in front of the troops grows both in numbers and aggression. The protest is told to break up. When they do not apply, the troops fire into the crowd to disperse it. The Shanghai Massacre is the name coined for the event. The citizens of Shanghai resume their protests later on. The protest evolves into a riot. The Shanghai Riots lead to the closing of docks and the government declaring martial law. Trade routes are disrupted. During the chaos, Qi Kha Maru shows himself. Maru calls for rebellion against the Chinese Empire and the creation of a new dynasty. The Maru-Ming War begins in September, when the Chinese attempt to raid Shanghai. Maru's forces meet the invasion force on Hu's Road. The Battle of Hu's road is disastrous for both sides. Both forces are decimated.

His son, King Arthur II (after his great-grandfather, Arthur I). Public education continues, the military and economy rise, and the middle class grows. Lawes Glas (OTL Greensleeves) is officially introduced as the Welsh national anthem, as it became an ode to King Gavin III, who was popularly considered one of the best Kings of Wales.
 * England, Scotland, Belfast, Cork, and Brittany grow their militaries and economies. A sense of normalcy returns following the war, but some vassal states are upset that new nations - Asian nations - will be added amongst their ranks. They pass a law in Parliament that grant Asian members of Parliament a vote worth 1/3 of a vote of a European, African or Antillian vote. Population growing policies are instituted in these vassal states, as well. The WTC oversees the expansion of De Mor Tir 3000 sq km, as Aber Dinas also grows 3000 sq km. The Wesh Royal Coast and Morocco grow by 10,000 sq km each, and both are sent missionaries. The Welsh Royal Coast is now almost 50% Christian, while in Morocco as much as 10% are Christian.

 * Russia upgrades its military. Expansion into the wilderness of Siberia continues as Chukotka is annexed and some border outposts are set up at the Japanese border.
 * With the war finished, the United Maharajya sees a time of shame. The army is seen to be weak, and the Navy is seen to be a disgrace to the people of the United Maharajya. Word soon begins to the nation about the territorial losses. The country has lost Cebu to the Germanic infidels, as well as Brunei and Java to Wales and Sundabang to the Arabian Federation, almost destroying the holding of former Mataram. The Maharajya's current Raja decides to step down, following the defeat. His son soon takes the throne and begins to plan safeguarding the future of the nation. Many people are annoyed, however, that the Maharajya went into help Ethiopia and came out badly. The Raja soon passes a decree - banning trade with the nations of Germany, Arabia and Bavaria. Many scientists continue to work in the biological field. The NOC begins to trade mostly in Russia and Venice, seeing the relations between it and other European powers. The SOC pumps in money to expand existing ports all around its routes to increase their capabilities and hopefully increase profit. Their endevours in Palembang and Butung are successful and the nations are brought to sign vassalage to Mataram. Naya Mataram grows 200 km onto Sulwasi. Patagonshina grows by 4000 km in South America, focusing to expand on the Dutch colonial border. The nation begins a program to amp up its military and make it the strongest in the world. Money is poured into factories constructing weaponry. The nation also sees a large amount of manpower available to build more air furnaces and canals. The new Raja begins to search for a bride to marry, and hopes to find one soon.
 * Java is owned by Bavaria, not Wales.
 * Your claim to Java is being contested on the talk page. 
 * Mataram continues to build up its military while the Spice trade only continues to increase their economic power. It is humiliated by the loss of more than half of its territories and its traditional heartlands. The government soon flees from occupied Java to still free Mataram in Borneo. They receive some good news when it is revealed that Palembang and Butung have signed vassalage to Mataram, giving it something to be glad about. The nation sees hundreds of thousands fleeing from the foreigners and entering the country.
 * Rajputana expands its colony by 4100 km inland. Rajputana becomes even more dependent on the Maharajya for safety after the end of the war. As a result, the fiercesome Sikhs soon initiate a harsh military buildup and training campaign to help the nation protect itself. Yet relations with the Maharajya reach an all-time high as it helped to protect the nation when it needed it.
 * Kingdom of the Netherlands: King Niejmen I continues to improve the military, focusing on the navy, and also economy expands. Argentium colony expands 3000 km north. Chile colony expands the north coast 1000 km. Netherlands continue sending the army.

The military is expanded.  The Bavarian Foreign Office begins the process of adding recently conquered territories in Indonesia, namely the territories of Java, Bali, Borneo and Subawa. . Bavaria offsets the economic damage of the war and the Maharaja's decree by increasing trade to Italia and Russia. Bavaria offers a trade deal with China. Bavarian Carthage and Bavarian Cyrenaica both expand by 500 sq km each. Foreign Minster Alexander Rosse states his displeasure at the military's land grab in Asia. He states that as long as he is in office this will not happen again. Upon hearing these words, Rosse is sacked by Military High Command and is replaced by Robert Hesse.


 * Korea: Military is built up as are roads and new ports. Konichiwa is renamed Karika, and Karika expands by 1000 km squared. Karija will have a population of 2032 by the year's end, with 569 of those being Aboriginals. Plans begin being made to create a Korean protectorate out of the colony, since the colony is doing quite well now and due to its distance would make more sense as a protectorate. Organization for this step begins.
 * Saxon Diplomacy: An envoy is sent from the Saxon colony in Australis to Karika. He asks for a trade agreement, and hopes for a peaceful future relationship.

 * Qi Kha Maru's revolutionary forces grow exponentially in China. It is clear that China is deadlocked in civil war. During this year, over 30% of China's military defects to China. The revolution becomes popular with the rich and other people who make their living off of China's trade routes. Due to this, it becomes known as the Aristocrats' War. Several populated provinces join in the rebellion. The Crimson Fleet is recalled to Beijing by the Emperor's orders. The First Battle of Hainan takes place as the Crimson Fleet encounters a schism in its numbers; almost half of all Crimson Fleet ships defect to Maru's side. The battle results in the devastation of the Crimson Fleet and the bombardment of several Hainan ports. The rest of Guangdong defects later, in August. The Second Battle of Hainan occurs when loyalist troops attempt to retake Guangdong to resecure their trade lines with their vassals and their land route with Malacca. As battles take place all over eastern China, the battles in Zhili are the most important; they contain the capitals of the two Chinas. Maru's forces out of Shanghai owe their strength to mass production of iron weapons, ammunition, and armor.
 * Myanmar: Myanmar Afrika expands by 1000 sq km. Myanmar Oceania expands by 1000 sq km. Urbanization continues using the lumber in Northern Myanmar. The third wooden sawmill is built in Northern Myanmar, with a production of 50 kg lumber daily also.

The first iron factory is built in Rangoon, with an output of 30 kg of iron daily. The Burmese fleet lands in Fujian and attacks Maru's rebels.
 * The Great Haruwin of the Selk'nam: On the orders of the Great Chief, the boundaries of the Haruwin are extended northward until they meet the border of De Mor Tir, so as to forge a permanent land boundary. Local tribes fail to mount an effective resistance to the modern Selk'nam military. Great Chief Cornelius Tuch'huelpe, finally receiving the Pope's request for protection, puts a regiment of his finest warriors on a ship bound for Papal Provence. He regrets that it is not feasible for the distant Selk'nam to protect the Pope's territory, but asks that his warriors be allowed to serve as the Pope's personal guard, offering to continue to provide guards in perpetuity. (I want this timeline to have the "Selk'nam Guards" instead of the Vatican "Swiss  Guards")
 * UMSHM: The Landtag debates the bill for the abolition of serfdom. The Conservatives, who hold government, are determined to block the bill, and organise a petition for the largest landowners in the nation against the abolition. The Opposition, countering the move, organise a petition for serfs, military leaders and smallhold farmers who would benefit from serfs' emancipation. The King-Duke, who owns about seven hundred serfs, remain silent on the issue, instead giving his parliament full rein on the issue. The Saxon representative in Avignon urges the Pope to stop sending missionaries into Italy, and instead to focus on proselytising in the New World, Africa, and the Antipodes.

Water wheels are installed in Venice to utilize the tidal power. The King of Italia bows down to the demands of thinkers and allows them to dissect the bodies of executed criminals. Many Italian Christians are horrified at the decision but some agree with the need to understand the human body further. Initial findings radically change the way people think about the human body.

King Arthur II continues to order growth of infrastructure, as large-scale projects are needed to make larger ports for more ocean travel. Mourning after the passing of King Gavin III stops midway through the year. The middle class has grown to about 55% of the population, with 15% in the upper class, and a remaining 30% still considered peasants. The population continues to grow, thanks to foreign, but helpful, technology. Public education has proven itself time and time again to be a success, and now over 85% of all children in Wales and its vassal have attended public education. The military and economy continue to rise, after the recent war.

(Due to limited info., Brunei will be handled with care). The new Maori Union is re-established, and Catholic missionaries are sent there as well, also reaching 5% conversion on year One.
 * Brunei has 60-75% Hindus and the rest Muslims. You want to convert them, you'll have to start from scratch.
 * That, and the fact that the population recently converted, meaning that it'll either take much longer to convince to them to convert, or they may just revolt as they refuse to convert to one religion after converting to another so soon. ~Viva

Taoism in Kasodani continues to rise in popularity and more Taoist Temples are built. Aid and clean up continues in Japan for those who were affected by the earthquakes. Aid is also sent to China to help the people affected by the Beijing Earthquake.
 * The Great Haruwin of the Selk’nam continue to upgrade their military and economy. A group of ten Maugholdians, under the leadership of a monk named Brother Eleutherius to found a monastery in the Portuguese colony of Rio da Prata. The monastery is located several miles up the river, where Eleutherius clains to have seen a river dolphin with a cross on it’s back. Hence, the monastery is named as the “Shrine of the Holy Cross of the River Dolphin”
 * The earthquake in China causes severe damage to the Forbidden Palace, resulting in part of the structure collapsing and much more of it being dangerously uninhabitable. The Emperor himself dies in the earthquake. The Myanmar troops that bolster the war effort are greatly appreciated. Unfortunately, political strife and maneuvering seem to be the main problem in the civil war. That is not to say, however, that battles are not a major part of the war. Due to the severe damage to Beijing, Qi Kha Maru's forces are able to storm the city. The Ming Dynasty is in disarray. The capital of Ming China is moved to Lhasa, in Tibet. Seeing that much of eastern Ming China has surrendered, Maru announces the creation of a new dynasty in China. This dynasty, promoting trade and Gāng Dynasty, will focus more on catching China up technologically to Italia and Orissa, its two major trading partners. On a similar note, trade routes will be redrawn to provide safer and quicker travel to all of China's trading parners. Gāng China wishes to reaffirm its alliances with its current allies. Myanmar, while Maru considers declaring war on them, decides that they are simply helping their ally. While the civil war rages on and Maru has yet to officially become the emperor of China due to the extensive damage to Beijing, Ming China is more or less crippled irreversibly.
 * As a side note, I didn't have the Qing Dynasty come into power since Manchuria was a separate nation at the time of its OTL uprising. I thought it'd be interesting to start a new dynasty rather than just follow OTL names as well.
 * ​Italia sends aid and materials to help set up the Gang Dynasty.


 * Korea: Plans are set into reality with the reorganization of Karika in Australia into a Korean protectorate. The military is built up and people continue moving to the new Kingdom of Karika.
 * Karika: With gaining independence the daughter of King Din-Ho of Korea, Princess Min-Lee takes the throne as Queen Min-Lee I. The Karikan Army and Navy are formed, and buildup begins. We expand by 10,000 km squared along the coast and southward.
 * Myanmar: Myanmar Afrika expands by 1000 sq km. Myanmar Oceania expands by 1000 sq km. Urbanization continues using the lumber in Northern Myanmar. The fourth and fifth wooden sawmill is built in Northern Myanmar, with a production of 50 kg lumber daily also. Steel is put on study by the scientists. The Burmese Army continue fighting in China, although debates occur in the court. Some people believed that Ming has lost the Mandate of Heaven and Gang will replace it no matter what. On the other hand, some officials are still supportive of Ming.
 * Cyprus continues to expand its army and navy. Cyprus expands its colonies. Nea Lefkosia is expanded by 1500 sq km, Nea Larnaka is expanded by 1500 sq km and Nea Lemesos is expanded by 1500 sq km.

The Royal Science Academy continues work on scientific projects. Flax and tobacco are grown. Linen is produced in Mutul and Azteca. Kappelism is now the dominant religion in the Empire. Money is invested in regional projects to promote wealth and business. Middle class families continue rising to prominence in some of the more wealthy provinces, as well as some of the less wealthy provinces. Xaman expands 5150 km and Haven expands 3100 km.
 * Apache: turns north in its search for fertile grounds, expanding 8000 km north.
 * Kaliforno: expands 7000 km southeast.
 * Ethiopia expands its military, economy and infrastructure, and with the passing of the refugee crisis, turns its direction toward more pressing matters such as the rebuilding of their nation's power after the recent conflict. The Ethiopian government continues to coerce tribal leaders into joining the empire, and accepting Ethiopian hegemony and religion. Ethiopia expands Yäwah Wäjäb and Wärqama by 1000 km, and Msraq Qäsärä by 1500 km. The colonies of Borona and Dähnnät are both expanded by 250 km. The third year of vassalizing Bonoman begins.
 * Adal expands its military, economy and infrastructure, and continues developing housing for the refugees to settle into after the great war.
 * Warsangali expands its military, economy and infrastructure.
 * Yorubaland expands its military, economy and infrastructure. The refugee crisis, though over, has introduced a large Ethiopian population into the vassal.
 * Darfur expands its military, economy and infrastructure. Ethiopians begin moving out of the empire proper and into Darfur, throwing off the once largely native population with that of Ethiopia's.
 * UMSHM: The emancipation debate continues, with many prominent people being swayed by the efforts of the Bavarian former serf, Reynne Gutenburg. The Conservative government, facing a turn in public opinion, demands that if they support emancipation, landowners get monetary compensation. Treasury officials believe that if compensation is not awarded, the economy may completely collapse. However the opposition states that giving compensation to rich landlords is simply outrageous. In Saxon West Africa, many settlers arrive, most deciding to live in the capital. Another battalion of the SAC Regiment is formed, and it assists the colony to expand North 1000 sq km. In Australis, Saint Boniface is expanded 1000 sq km towards Saint Thomas. A permanent Envoy is sent to the new Kingdom of Karika. Diplomats continue to discuss the distribution of the spoils of war.
 * Confederation of the Rhine: Rhinish Guinea expands as much as it can Westwards along the coast. Diplomats are attempting to get Khmer Koch and perhaps another small former Ethiopian colony in the victor's conference. A squadron of the Confederational Navy (basically a Saxon squadron with a few ships from the other member-states) is sent to Saint Boniface to be on hand if/when territory is finally distributed. In the Bundesrat, emancipation of serfs is discussed, and a resolution is made devolving responsibility for serf-related laws to the individual states. Anhalt for one is determined to maintain its serfs.
 * Primatial Magdeburg: Many deacons and priests move into Rhinish Guinea to help convert the local population. The Primate lends his weight to the serfdom issue, stating that Catholics (and even other Christians) should not be bought and sold like heathens.
 * Wales continues to place an emphasis on growth of infrastructure, with new ports, and naval installations needed to make travel from the mainland, to De Mor Tir, to the Maori Union, to Aber Dinas, to Brunei, and back to Wales by way of the Welsh Royal Coast and Morocco. The middle class has grown to about 60% of the population, with 20% in the upper class, and a remaining 20% still considered peasants. The population continues to grow, thanks to foreign, but helpful, technology. The military and economy continue to rise, after the recent war.
 * Wales asks to buy the two Portuguese colonies in between Morocco and the Welsh Royal Coast.
 * Wales proposes an alliance with the Mayans, citing the need for peace in the Maori Union's lands.
 * The Mayan Empire agrees.
 * Wales seeks an alliance with Italy.
 * England, Scotland, Belfast, Cork, and Brittany grow their militaries and economies. Population growing policies remain in place, and Welsh culture continues to make a lot of progress in its continued spread. The WTC oversees the expansion of De Mor Tir 3000 sq km, as Aber Dinas also grows 3000 sq km. In Aber Dinas, a large tribe, the Tulpung people, have become the predominant native population, and they begin to actively trade and engage with the Welsh. Although it is not likely, they are asking for Aber Dinas to become Tulpung yr Aber, the Tulpung of the River's Mouth. The King, surprising gave his approval for the plan and it is in the Parliament. The WTC also considers the benefits of having a puppet state in India, and begin to bribe officials in Dahod. The next Raja will hopefully be bought out; the Crown Prince is already learning Welsh. The Wesh Royal Coast and Morocco grow by 10,000 sq km each, and both are sent missionaries. The Welsh Royal Coast is now almost 60% Christian, while in Morocco as much as 25% is Christian.
 * Brunei continues its conversion (10% Catholic), and we use the fall of Orissa as proof that Hinduism is a false religion. This of course is not directly stated to any other nations in the area, which could take offence. Suspecting a loss of loyalty from the old Sultan/Raja, Wales institutes a popular, Western-thinking Sultan/Raja. King Arthur II hopes to leave Brunei with a vast degree of autonomy, but requests the new Raja (formerly called the Sultan) to be called King of Brunei. The King accepts. He is really young - in his early 20s, and begins to have a relationship with the young, female ruler of Sabah. They are married at the end of the year, uniting the two nations. There are plans for Sulu to be annexed next year, with Magindanaw to follow the year after. The military grows for defensive, and ultimately, offensive reasons. They expand 5000 sq km into the island of Panay, which is in massive civil disarray.
 * A new Maori Union is re-established, and Catholic missionaries are sent there as well, also reaching 10% conversion in year Two. The Welsh governor is very accepting of traditional Maori practices, but frowns upon tattoos on the face. He does, however, encourage tatoos, and often subsidizes them, if the warriors do not have facial tatoos. Construction begins on a grand capital city at the site of OTL Wellington. It will be called Whyllyngtan, and it is expected to be in charge of all Welsh activity in Aber Dinas, Brunei, and the Maori Union. A large push begins among the Maori, who are suprisingly acceptive of Welsh culture, for them to be called the New South Wales. The Parliament is currently hearing the issue.
 * Italia defeats the last garrisons of Ternate and takes the capital. It is annexed to Nuovo Brescia and the new territories significantly boost the portion of the spice trade in Italia's control helping to expand the economy. Italia is shocked at the harsh treatment of the coalition toward the Orissans and ethiopian who were viewed as defending allies and territories. Italia breaks its alliance with Germany in disgust that they would also backstab their former ally, Orissa. The Aymaras and Nya Gyptios expand 10,000 sq km inland while Nuovo Brescia expands by 8500 sq km along the coastline of Northern Australia. Malacca expands by 5000 sq km.
 * The Maharajya thanks its Italian allies for their move of support in these dark times.
 * Yugoslavia, Greece and Siam continue to expand their economies. Agricultural innovations from Italia spread to these lands and urbanization begins in earnest as yields become more easily workable.
 * Bavaria is horrified at Italia breaking the alliance with Germany. Diplomats are sent to Italia in attempt to keep the Bavarian alliance intact with a promise to not join in another war against any of Italia's great allies. The diplomat explains that he is personally horrified as well and the Emperor has decreed that the laws governing foriegn territory are to be changed. We have plans to give some territories back (like OTL UK with Hong Kong) Infrastructure is expanded in this era of peace. Hopes of a new peace called Pax Bavaria is born with the musical arts flourishing and an all time high of war dissatisfaction. Bavaria expands Bavarian Carthage and Cyrenaica by 1000 sq km. Trade is increased in East Asia. After seeing the religous intolerance of many nations, Bavaria orders all foreign territories shall have religious autonomy. Restrictions on religion at home slowly begin to loosen. Industry continues to expand.
 * Italia agrees to keep the alliance and clarifies that the break was due to Germany's betrayal of their ally Orissa. Scandinator (talk) 16:02, June 13, 2013 (UTC)
 * Due to the Italian actions, humanism fails to catch on in the Germanic realms and serfdom fails to be abolished in the Reichstag, although Neu Berlin and Vinland are given free reign in the matter, abolishing the institution. All the Germanic territories expand their militaries, while the Italian betrayal of Germany is regarded as the same as the German betrayal of Orissa. The alliance with the Gang Dynasty is consolidated, and we promise no harm to the Ming or Gang. Neu Berlin expands 3000 sq km along the French colony and 3000 sq km towards the Norman colony, while Vinland expands 3000 sq km along the Antillian coast. Also, Neu Prussen has united with the Bahamas and Neu Berlin vassalized the Myami in 1725. Sindhustan finally agrees to join the GEAT Co. as a client state. They are given lots of autonomy, as are Georgia and Mysore/Travancore/Lanka. Luxembourg and Aquitana begin to push for closer relations with Wales, and the Reichstag supports this, so Germany asks Wales for a trade alliance, mutual defense pact, and general peace agreement.
 * Wales happily agrees to all request of Luxembourg, the general peace agreement and trade pact with Aquitania, and a trade pact with Germany. We will grow our relations further; this is a trial period.
 * Excuse me. You have not worked on relations with Sindustan. There is no way they will suddenly become a client state of yours. Add to the matter that Yank's mod event established them as being close to the Orissans. So the only way you could get them would be war.
 * Normandy: The military expands. The Alaskan and Hudson Bay colonies expand by 2000 sq km. Benin becomes a protectorate.
 * Russia updates its economy to send further funding to Siberian Pioneers. The Russian Duma concurrs that without literacy, there can be no true right to truth, as information can not be passed on in written form (i e, scientific peer-review journals. Meawhile, breakthroughs in architecture occur when the cast iron kupola is invented, doubling as the world's first lightning rod. Meanwhile, the world's tallest Orthodox church begins construction in Novgorod. Novorossiya continues its population boom, expanding by 8500 sq km compared to Kanada's 500.
 * Mali: The military expands greatly. Mali expands 10,000 sq km SW. Wolof, Gabu and Mossi contribute to the economy.

A brilliant harvest happens in Western Africa and all nations in Western Africa using their harvest surpluses, manage to expand their borders.


 * Please note I'm going all around the world with these good harvest expansion bonuses, I'll be adding the expansion on the map myself. Everyone expands eventually! ~Von

'''The good harvest in Western Africa combined with the discovery of a new gold mine, allows for the Dahomey people to help cement their position as the dominant tribe in their territory and Oti declares himself to be the first Emperor of the Dahomey Empire and he formally establishes his new nation this year. Emperor Oti asks nations who trade in the region for formal trade ties: offering gold and slaves in exchange for guns and other manufactured goods. The new gold mines boosts the new nation's economy and the Dahomey empire get a +15 economic bonus for the next 20 years.'''

''' A minor Welsh noble challenges a popular Anglo noble to a gentleman's duel over a land dispute in Somerset. The Anglo noble is slain and after a couple of weeks the Anglo noble's serfs revolt over the Welsh noble's harsh new regime. All of the revolting serfs are executed but news of this reaches London where thousands take to the streets attacking Welshmen and demanding the re-establishment of an independent England. Welsh troops attempt to retake the city but fail. '''


 * Wales provides a great deal of autonomy to the current King of England. Somereset is in Wales, where only Welshmen can be nobles. Anglo-Saxons are all up in England, where we promised them land for them to move. We even managed to get a family member of the last King of England to become the new King of England. Also, we have had Lincoln for a really long time, so for that whole time Anglo-Saxons have moved to England. Also, a lot of them left for York before the First Great War. London is not a huge city - only around 50,000 people in total.


 * Serfdom is practically outlawed - only 15% of all Welsh are actually serfs or peasants. Also, aren't negative mod events supposed to be a punishment? What have I done wrong? If you call it over-expansion, I'll point out that Wales has owned all of OTL England since 1614. In that mod event, you even pointed out that Wales has attempted to eradicate the English language. In over a century, I'm sure that has been done. I just don't find this to be an accurate mod event.  Reximus55 (talk) 11:16, June 15, 2013 (UTC)

A small group moves into Khmer Koch and establishes a provisional administration, but there is talk of handing the outpost over to the Netherlands. Rhinish Guinea is expanded westward.
 * Primatial Magdeburg: A small mission is established in Rhinish Gabon, but the overwhelming Ethiopian Coptic religion of most of the inhabitants makes large-scale conversion basically untenable, and only a few Gabonians convert.

 * England, Scotland, Belfast, Cork, and Brittany grow their militaries and economies.

Also, Kasodani expands by 3300 sq km, Tojiko expands by 2000 sq km, Tōkaidō expands by 1200 sq km, Miyako expands into OTL Mainland Chile by 1000 sq km, and Kazami expands by 500 sq km. Taoism in Kasodani continues to rise in popularity and more Taoist Temples are built. Aid and clean up continues in Japan for those who were affected by the earthquakes.
 * Reiches Großraum Bayern:  Pax Bavaria continues as musical arts flourish and as well as scientific influences and a steady rise of humanism. Bavaria expands Bavarian Carthage and Cyrenaica by 4000 sq km. Population booms due to good harvests in the African colonies. Industry continues to expand. Newspapers sales continue to boom. The military is expanded to accommodate the growing navy. A major overhaul of the Munchen sewer system begins this year.  Richard Lazos Minster of the Interior orders the complete restructuring of the navy. As well as an expansion of civilian intellegence services. He also reviews a draft sent to the office years ago about a Germanic Union, he decides to put it aside for the time being.
 * Ostasien Protektorat von Indonesien: The Colonial Government reveals the religous census for this year, Hindus seem to be the largest percentage. The Colonial Government decides to allow the continuing free worship of the inhabitants. A new port is built Port Alexander, after the Emperor of Bavaria. The port begins to grow quickly.
 * Dimurats: Military, Infrastructure and economy are improved. Our African colonies are expanded 400 px
 * The Great Haruwin of the Selk'nam: The military and economy continue their progress. The sculptor and architect Rafael is hailed for his beautiful decorations on the fortifications of the Selk'nam cities and is given charge of designing decorations for a new tower being raised at teh Ona Yagich Cathedral, which will come to be known as "Rafael's Pilliar". The artist chooses to ring the base with a massive bas relief depicting the martyrdom of Saint Maughold and David Chongat Yagich in brutal detail, with the central element being the stabbing of Maugholdby a shaman. However, the top of the tower features a twenty-foot gold-plated statue of Jesus embracing the murdered saint and Chief and welcoming them to heaven.  Some of the local the artisans question whether the graphic depiction of the massacre, but many Selk'nam are moved to tears by the portrayal of the two recieving their reward. In December, a ship load of thirty Maugholdian seminarians is dispatched to Magedburg to grow the Monastery of Saint Maughold. Secretly among them is the great Rafael, who travels dressed as a monk. His instructions from the Great Chief Cornelius Tuch'huelpe are to spend a year in Europe hiring a team of architects to transform the Monastery into a monument that will convince the Europeans that the Selk'nam are their equals as a great Christian nation. Rafael carries with him plans to build a massive stone tower at the Monastery depicting the teachings of Saint Maughold in bas reliefs, topped by twin statues of Saint Maughold and his European predecessor, Saint Francis of Assisi. Unbeknownst to the Great Chief, the prolific Rafael has also prepared a second, and larger set of plans. Once he arrives in Magdeburg, he secretly dispatches a messenger to King Arthur II of Wales, carrying the plans in a locked chest with no key, along with a letter reading "A Proposal from the architect Rafael of the Selk'nam, for the glory of Wales and Christ". Another messenger is sent two days later, along a different route, carrying only the key. When opened, the box contains plans for a massive Cathedral laid out in the form of a Celtic Cross and decorated with massive statues depicting the ascetic teachings of Saint David of Wales. Also included is a small note scribbled on a shred of parchment, reading only, "Shall we make Avalon the jewel of Christendom, or shall we not?" (Magdeburg and Welsh diplomacy please respond). 
 * Wales offers Rafael full support, and asks him to come to Avalon (our capital - changed in your post also) as soon as possible. Avalon has been notable lacking a grand cathedral worthy of the fantastic city, and we are eager to finally have one! King Arthur II declares, "Avalon, the capital of the Welsh Empire, will finally be complete!"
 * Magdeburg: The Primate, always glad to help his antipodean fellow-Catholics, promises a team of Magdeburg's best architects and engineers, as well as 50 monks to assist in construction. He also gives a gift of 1000 gold Adlers from the Primatial Treasury to assist the Maugholdians.
 * The Arabian Federation builds up its economy as new territories are integrated into the Federation. Also, colonial expansion in the Zanj coast colony continues inland another 4100 sq km along the 2nd parallel. An expedition maps the border and erects boundary monuments along the 2nd parallel. The expedition then discovers a large inland lake (OTL Lake Victoria), which they name Lake Kitara after making contact with fishermen from the Empire of Kitara which is situated along the lake's western shores. After a visit to the Empire of Kitara the expedition returns back to the new Arabian town of Al-Marsa which is a port and fort founded on the lake's eastern shore by the expedition from which to further explore the region and lake.
 * The Levantine Kingdom expands westwards 10,000 sq km and the Levant's New Syria colony expands 2500 sq km inland as the campaign against the Xhosa natives begins to come to a close. Nusantara expands 2100 sq km as well, as the Duke of Nusantara decides to build upon the new territory to take over the rest of Sulawesi island.
 * The Arabian Caliphate builds up its economy as new territories are integrated into the Federation and the Al-Khalil colony expands southward by 1000 sq km as more settlers go to the colony and more slaves begin to come out of the colony.
 * The Sultanate of Baghdad builds up its economy as agricultural output increases as more slaves are brought in from mainly the Arabian Federation and her Zanj coast colony.
 * The Sultanate of Kuwait builds up its economy and Sultan Faisal sets sail to visit the Mumbai colony at the end of this year too.
 * The Maldives builds up its economy as the lack of pirates brings economic output back to normal.
 * The Republic of Comchellak expands southward 10,000 sq km and not much else happens.
 * The Germanic states expand their militaries. Ekkehard Wenzel is deployed from Orientalia with a fleet to explore the Antillian Orientalian coast. I noticed that no one had named the Pacific Ocean yet. Well, here you have it. The Orientalian Ocean. The Eastern Ocean. Finding large portions of land occupied, he established a trade outpost on the island shown left. The Indian states expand their economies, as well as Georgia. Part of the German Navy moves into the Mediterranean, although Italia, Cyprus, Portugal, and France are promised that they will not be harmed. Neu Berlin expands 3000 sq km towards the Norman colony and 3000 sq km along the French colony. Vinland expands 3000 sq km along the Antillian coast. Orientalia expands 10,000 sq km onto the remaining uninhabited islands. The Orissan people are placated with the safeties that they are free to observe their religions and move freely across the Germanic realms. Chimu expands 10,000 sq km north.
 * How can you expand Chimu by 10,000 km when it is a colony? That is against the rules.
 * It's a vassal.
 * Cyprus continues to expand its army and navy. Nea Lefkosia is expanded by 1500 sq km, Nea Larnaka is expanded by 1500 sq km and Nea Lemesos is expanded by 1500 sq km.
 * China continues to rebuilt Beijing and the other areas damaged by the war. Costs are cut to allow the rebuilding process to be quicker. After hearing an Orissan trade deal, China sells Yuanshan to Orissa for several air furnaces. The military in Yuanshan leaves for mainland China. Refugees continue to enter New Manchuria and Baitudi, expanding them by 4000 and 1000 sq km respectively.
 * The Maharajya accepts the deals with the Gang and offers to re-affairm its alliance and increase trading through a trading pact.
 * Myanmar: Myanmar Afrika expands by 1000 sq km. Myanmar Oceania expands by 1000 sq km. Urbanization continues using the lumber in Northern Myanmar. The 15th to 25th wooden sawmill is built in Northern Myanmar, with a production of 50 kg lumber daily also. Industrialisation is researched and furnace making is learnt from Orissa. Ask for trade, technology and military co-operation with the Gang Dynasty.
 * Wales experiences its last year of large-scale infrastructure builds, with King Arthur II deciding that his empire is well enough connected, and that the various outlying provinces need to become more ethnically Celtic - specifically Welsh. The population continues to grow, thanks to foreign, but helpful, technology. The military continues to grow to defend our Empire. The Anglo-Saxons are pacified completely, thanks to last year's actions by Parliament. This is considered an impressively forward thinking action, and some ideas begin to spread about abolition of serfdom. Slavery is re-instated, however, as long as the slaves are African.
 * England, Scotland, Belfast, Cork, and Brittany grow their militaries and economies. Population growing policies remain in place, and Welsh culture continues to make a lot of progress in its continued spread. The WTC oversees the expansion of De Mor Tir 3000 sq km, as Tulpung yr Aber also grows 3000 sq km. The WTC also continues to bribe officials in Dahod. The Raja is still in good healths, but his son is prepared to take over once he passes. The timeframe is around five years until the King will die. The Welsh Royal Coast and Morocco grow by 10,000 sq km each, and both are sent missionaries. The Welsh Royal Coast is now almost 75% Christian, while in Morocco as much as 40% is Christian. As they near each other, it becomes apparent that a border agreement may be needed when they meet near Gunie.
 * Brunei continues its conversion (25% Catholic), and we continue to use the fall of Orissa as proof that Hinduism is a false religion. After a ton of expansion in the borders, the King decides to stop and both prepare the economy for war and grow the military itself.
 * New South Wales expands its economy, and Catholic missionaries are sent there as well, also reaching 25% conversion in year five. Construction almost finishes on the grand capital city at Whyllyngtan. Maori culture begins to mix with Welsh culture, and the public education systems as well as modern farming bring Maoris into awe of Wales, and make them more accepting.
 * UMSHM: Serfdom is finally abolished in Saxony. During the final session of the Landtag for the year, the vote is taken and is passed unopposed. A standing ovation is given as the Speaker reads the result of the ballot. Around the country, serfs gain their freedom. Many opt to continue living on their former masters' land, doing the same work, except for wages. The serfowners are compensated for each serf they lose. This money is used to offset the cost of hiring out their former serfs. Some freedmen move into the towns looking for work, and others still join the army or navy. The Saxon Africa Company offers freed serf families exceedingly cheap one-way tickets to Saxon West Africa, and a good number of new settlers arrive in the burgeoning colony. Saxon West Africa expands 1000 sq km north towards Rhinish Gabon. In Australis, Saint Boniface expands 1000 sq km East towards Saint Thomas. The Navy is expanded somewhat, as the army.
 * I was wondering if my abolition of serfdom would catch on... Reximus55 (talk)
 * Oh... I started in Nuovo Venexia ages ago... Scandinator (talk)
 * Bavaria did it right after Italia....Andr3w777 (talk) 17:22, June 16, 2013 (UTC)
 * And it happened more than ~120 years ago in Orissa Rex. [[Image:1.png|23px]] Imp (Say Hi?!)
 * Confederation of the Rhine: The new colonies expand their usual amounts.
 * Primatial Magdeburg: Missionary activity in Australis is ramped up, especially in the newly-occupied areas.
 * Italia continues to expand its economy. Urbanization continues in Southern Italia at a rapid pace while the city of Venice is sidelined further in the face of successful Western port cities like Naples, Palermo and Genoa. Construction continues to modernize the City of Venice. The Aymaras and Nya Gyptios expand 10,000 sq km inland while Nuovo Brescia expands by 8500 sq km along the coastline of Northern Australia. Malacca expands by 5000 sq km.
 * Yugoslavia, Greece and Siam continue to expand their economies.
 * New_Colonies_in_SA_(PMII).png the Maharajya's capital of Bhubaneswar, large factories begin to be set up to build out equipment for war. This includes the large number of air furnaces in these factories. A large number of roads begin to be constructed into Sindustan to help increase the amount of trading between the nations and to bring it closer to the Maharajya. To Scraw, as I stated in 1733, if you want to argue against the 1698 mod post, be my guest, as I'm sure the mods would disagree. A heir is born to the Raja of the United Maharajya, and the Raja sees a slight reason to be happy for once. In Kolkata too, a large number of people begin to immigrate into the city. In Delhi, a growth in construction work is seen as buildings are commissioned to make the city into an important financial centre in the North. Many scientists continue to work in the biological field. They continue the recommendation of the extending of sewage systems, yet their thoughts only fall on deaf ears. The NOC continues to trade heavily with favourable nations in Europe, and begins to open up trading with Saxony once more. The SOC is able to buy the Chinese colony of Yuanshan for the Maharajya, raising its standings in the eyes of the Raja and the people of the nation. Parliament, after discussing with the Raja, decides to carve out the colony into three. The southernmost section will become the puppet nation of Naya Bihar, while the uppermost section will become the colony of Uttarshina. The middle portion will be given to the Rajputs as the colony of Naya Punjab. This concludes the division of the colony. Immediately, Uttarshina is expanded by 4100 km by immigrants coming into the new colony. The nation contines to amp up their military in a bid to give themselves something to be proud of. Money is poured into factories constructing weaponry. A large number of air furnaces are made in ammunition factories to help build up the military. The SOC continues to recieve good funding, and they begin to increase relations with the small nation of Ife. With new trading partners in Africa, the SOC declare the Dahomey as protectorates. They are to be allowed to expand freely, and any moves to harm them will not be looked at by the Maharajya kindly (this is just meant to be an ego boost, the nation's ego has been shattered and they need to build it up again).
 * Bavaria offers an olive branch in effort to put the war behind us and would like to open trade to the United Maharajya.
 * Yeah Imp, that post really means nothing, as we were both close to Sindhustan, but the fact of the matter is that I moved first.
 * Uh, I think Crim has to agree before you buy Yuanshan. Just because the military left doesn't mean that he doesn't want it anymore.
 * Whoever posted the comment above should read the line before he said his military left. "China sells Yuanshan to Orissa for several air furnaces". Just, wow. Plus, to Scraw, I'll get a mod's opinion on this.
 * Also note Imp, that the Ashanti/Dahomey (It should be Dahomey but I got the name wrong) will not submit themselves willingly to you. Emperor Oti is a proud man who won't see himself kneeling to another ruler willingly, but he will take the protection. You just can't control Dahomey ~Von.
 * Don't read too deeply into my post. All we are doing is protecting him in his time of need. Nothing else. Now, I do not know what else I would call an ego boost.
 * Rajputana expands its economy heavily, and with the new colony of Naya Punjab - sends thousands of colonists. As the result, the colony grows by 4100 km. Sindustan amps up on infrastructure by building roads heading into Orissa and grows wavy of foriegn powers trying to influence its government. The Khmers expand their military, so does Mataram. The puppet state of Naya Bihar expands by 10,000 km inland, using the new support from Orissa as protection.
 * The Mayan Empire continues trade with European colonies and the Lakota. A new colony is established in Amazonia, between the French and German colonies on the west coast. This colony is called Halakin, or Eastern Water. The Juun family continues setting up schools. More universities are established in affluent provinces, and some middle class provinces. Roads in the central part of the Empire continue to update, especially in areas of heavy traffic. Training drills are conducted by the military. The Royal Science Academy continues work on scientific projects. Flax and tobacco are grown. Linen is produced in Mutul and Azteca. Kappelism is now the dominant religion in the Empire. Money is invested in regional projects to promote wealth and business. Middle class families continue rising to prominence in some of the more wealthy provinces, as well as some of the less wealthy provinces. Xaman expands 5150 km and Haven expands 3100 km.
 * Apache: turns north in its search for fertile grounds, expanding 8000 km north.
 * Kaliforno: expands 7000 km southeast.
 * Mali: Mali begins vassalization in the state of Bonomon. Gabu, Wolof and Mossi contribute to the economy. The military expands. Mali expands 10,000 sq km to the west.
 * France, La Marche, Rhaetia, Lorraine, Tyrol and Occitania's militaries are updated, and Nouvelle Bourgogne expands 2500 sq km, while Brasilea and Baie d'Eric (Erik's Bay) expand by 1500 sq km and La Riviere expands by 1000 sq km.
 * Kingdom of the Netherlands: King Niejmen I continues to improve the military, focusing on the navy, and also economy expands. Argentium colony expands 3000 km north. Chile colony expands the north coast 1000 km.
 * Oldeburg, Liege, Acech-Pasai, Kongo, Dutch Persia, Iceland expand economy and army. Kongo expands 10,000 sq km north.
 * The Largest Veche ever is assembled near Novgorod. Over 150 000 people from across Russia, and Minsk, excluding city residents, have come to the city of Novgorod to elect the new Tsar. These people set up camp. After almost a week of counting and recounting, nobody seemed to get a majority. As people still bore bad memories and heard stories of the "Mad" Romanov Tsar, nobody wanted to vote another Duke of Minsk into office. That is when, by sheer chance, the German messenger arrives with the news of the Germanic Emperor announcing candidacy. Well, that is, after receiving the message, which was a request, a citizen of Novgorod nominated him, in fact, it was the Posadnik. The people voted and after counting that took almost the entire day and 100 counters was complete, pigeons sent to the Great Veches, who swiftly confirmed the result. The Great Veche bell rang as the result was announced to the public and a letter written to Germany. From this day forward, the 23rd of April 1734 (the Veche was delayed because of weather, making for the longest interregnum in history, with Anatoli Arkadich being Acting Tsar), the Kaiser of Germany would, in Russia, be styled Tsar of Novgorod the Great, Minsk and all of Russia, Tsar of Germans, Grand Prince of Greater Finland, Provider of Norway, Lord of Riga, Pskov, and Kazan, High Advisor to the Tatars and the Astrakhani, Appointer of the Baku Director, Sovereign of Siberia,the colonies, and Defender of the Realm. The Change of the title he holds of the Caucasus from Defender of the Caucasus to Appointer of the Baku director was done purely in favor of having the title say Defender of the Realm, as Defender of the Realm and the Caucasus sounded a little odd ... this was done by an act of the Duma before the result was read. The Kaiser is sent a letter, ordering him to Russia for his coronations, and to participate in the "coronation tour" (Novgorod-Moscow-Minsk-Helsinki-Novgorod), and to appoint the Posadnik out of the Duma, and if he chose to leave, appoint a Knyaz-Namestnik. Miitary updates happen.(sorry for the late post...but I kind of needed to elect in a new Tsar, and respond to Germany's request to be chosen ... the Veche was set to happen this year anyway...so...yeah...in any case, this is done basically as a long reply and has nothing to do with anything except elections in Russia)
 * Ethiopia expands its military, economy and infrastructure, and those of its vassals. The vassal of Adal expands by 10,000 km. Msraq Qäsärä is expanded by 2250 km, while Borona is expanded by 1000 km. The colony of Dähnnät is expanded by 250 km.

1735

 * Portugal, Castille, Navarra, Aragon, Granada and León prepare their militaries. Meanwhile in Castille, Maria Teresa Gómez de Silva gives birth to a girl, who is named Leonor. Meanwhile in Navarra, Urraca López de Orozco gives birth to a girl, who is named Urraca. Meanwhile, in León, Alfonso Yañez de Haro, the Prince of Asturias, is married to Sancha Téllez-Girón, daughter of Alfonso III Téllez-Girón, the Duke of Osuna. Meanwhile, Santo Amaro expands 500 sq km, and Meanwhile, Sofala expands 500 sq km, and Meanwhile, Loanda expands 500 sq km. Meanwhile, Índia expands 400 sq km. Meanwhile in Brasil, São Vicente expands 4300 sq km. Meanwhile in Rio da Prata, Paraná expands 4200 sq km.
 * The Mononobe Shogunate builds up the military. More Taoist Temples and Shinto Shrines are built throughout the nation and in the colony of Miyako. Meanwhile, Okinawa Kingdom builds up its military. Also, Kasodani expands by 3300 sq km, Tojiko expands by 2000 sq km, Tōkaidō expands by 1200 sq km, Miyako expands into OTL Mainland Chile by 1000 sq km, and Kazami expands by 500 sq km. Taoism in Kasodani continues to rise in popularity and more Taoist Temples are built. Aid and clean up continues in Japan for those who were affected by the earthquakes.
 * Kingdom of the Netherlands: King Niejmen I continues to improve the military, focusing on the navy, and also economy expands. Argentium colony expands 3000 km north. Chile colony expands the north coast 1000 km.
 * Oldeburg, Liege, Acech-Pasai, Kongo, Dutch Persia, Iceland expand economy and army. Kongo expands 10,000 sq km north.
 * Cyprus continues to expand its economy. Nea Lefkosia is expanded by 1500 sq km, Nea Larnaka is expanded by 1500 sq km and Nea Lemesos is expanded by 1500 sq km.
 * Crete develops its economy.
 * Cyrenaica expands by 10,000 sq km.
 * The forces of Gibraltar quietly have the Pope assassinated in Provence. Then the same expeditionary forces blow up wherever the Conclave meets, killing all the priests and bishops and everyone else in attendence before they are captured by the Proventian military. They claim to be working for a Jewish organization before they are captured. (I hope it is not too implausible to have blown up the Conclave.) Aquataine is given larger room in the German Reichstag and becomes a state, although still in union with Luxembourg, although Luxembourg is held back by Confederation from being a full state of Germany. Orientalia asks the Chinese if it can buy the head of the main Orientalian island. Sindhustan and Southern India (Mysore, Travancore, Lanka, Carnatic, Hyderabad) expand their economies while Georgia focuses heavily on its military. Myami is annexed to Neu Berlin proper. Sindhustan approached Badakhstan in hopes of reaching a union. Neu Berlin expands 6000 sq km along the French colony of Baie d'Eric, while Vinland expands 3000 sq km along the Antillian coast, heading west along the coast. Georgia, through the coast gained from Cyprus ten years ago, pursues positive relations with Albania, in order to have a larger border along the Mediterranean. Chimu, meanwhile, expands 10,000 sq km north. Lanka vassalizes Jaffna. Orientalia expands 10,000 sq km onto Madia As. Meanwhile, all the Germanic states expand their militaries. Air furnaces are discovered in Carnatic and put into use. Some are also shipped to Orientalia for reverse engineering. Kaiser Frederick IX (I missed one planned death a while back and accidentally said "Crown Prince" when it was an assassination.) travels to Novgorod to be coronated and plans a massive tours of all of his realms. The Russian titles are added to his German and Luxembourgish ones, and the people hope that this will be a great time of cooperation and prosperity between the two Empires. Following the Coronation, the Kaiser-Tsar begins a voyage across the realms. Orientalia is a client state, not a colony. Also, I propose to Imp that until the ownership of Sindhustan is decided, both of us may use the state. Gains made by one person may not be used by the other person if the other person wins the debate. Sounds good?
 * Yes, it is implausible.
 * Dang it. Everyone likes it! I just wanted to spice up the game a bit.
 * I think assassination is allowed, though. It's on the rules page. 
 * Reiches Großraum Bayern:  Pax Bavaria continues as musical arts flourish - as well as scientific influences and a steady rise of humanism. Bavaria expands Bavarian Carthage and Cyrenaica by 4000 sq km. Newspapers sales continue to boom. The military expands. Industry begins grow with technology learned from Italia. Air furnace designs begin. (Bavaria is orange so I should be allowed). Saxony and Germany are called to meet on the question of a new Germanic Union. The navy is greatly expanded with the ships built in the Venetian Arsenal.
 * Ostasien Protektorat von Indonesien: The Colonial Government reveals the religous census for this year, Hindus seem to be the largest percentage. The Colonial Government decides to allow the continuing free worship of the inhabitants. A new port is built Port Alexander, after the Emperor of Bavaria. The port begins to grow quickly.
 * Normandy: The Hudson Bay colony expands by 2500 sq km. To date, Mogadishu, Beja and Benin are Norman Protectorates. Norman diplomats are sent to Oyo once more as the possiblity of Benin being organized as a dependency comes into existence. Queen Adela abdicates the throne in April of 1735 due to ill health and her son Louis-William ascends to throne as Louis VIII. The military expands.
 * The Great Haruwin of the Selk'nam continues to build up its military and economy. Upon hearing of the death of the Pope and Cardinals, Great Chief Cornelius Tuch'huelpe is greatly grieved. He secretly sends ten assassins dressed as Maugholdians on a supply ship bound for Rio da Prata, from which they sneak onto a ship bound for Portugal. They are given the mission to find those responsbile for the atrocity and kill them. (This is going to be fun!) Also, the Sel'nam archbishop of Ona Yagich, Jude Gun'ich'in, is dispatched to Europe in hopes that he can fill a gap in the decimated church hierarchy and become the first Selk'nam cardinal. Meanwhile, Rafael appoints several of his best workers to supervise the contruction of the Maughold Tower in Magedeburg, while himself decamping to Avalon to devote his life to the construction of the Cathedral and take his place in the court of Arthur II. He sends word back to Ona Yagich that he will not be returning, feeling that his genius is better suited to the great cities of Europe than to Ona Yagich. Rafael hires a veritable army of Welsh laborers as he begins his project to construct the grandest cathedral in all Europe - and the native Selk'nam influences on his designs create a style distinct from any seen in Europe. He secretly spends days locked in his study, desiging fantastical cathedrals in the Rafaelite style, which he hopes to someday bequeath to the great capitals of the Catholic World. Meanwhile, Great Chief Tuch'huelpe is furious upon receiving word of Rafael's defection and sends and angry letter to Arthur II. Howevever, he chooses not to demand his return in hopes that his Avalon cathedral will be the final step in  estalishisn the Selk'nam as one of the great nations of Christendom - and actually influence the culture of Europe. An old pupil of Rafael, a Teushen named Michael Angelus Gwit'ijich, is given charge of Rafael's still uncompleted Ona Yagich Cathedral and commanded to totally overhaul the design so as to remove Rafael's influence, and to make the plans larger than Rafael's Avalon cathedral. Hence, Rafael's Column becomes the only Rafaelite element to be constructed. Micheal Angelus makes plans for the final building to be both larger and taller, and sets out to purge European influence from the design, in search of a pure Atlantian asthetic. The new cathedral's largest columns are to be modelled after old Selk'nam canoes and spears.
 * The Proventian military capture the Pope's assassins. Attempting to capture them would be war with Provence.


 * Korea: We build up military, economy and infrastructure. Korean warships dock in Italia near Venice and an envoy asks to meet with the King to discuss a proposal with him. Leading the envoy is the heir to the Korean throne. Din-Ho II. The warships are not in any way a show of force, but to deter pirates.
 * Karika: We build our military and now have a population of 113,456 people. We expand 10,000 km squared.
 * Myanmar: Myanmar Afrika expands by 1000 sq km. Myanmar Oceania expands by 1000 sq km. Urbanization continues using the lumber in Northern Myanmar. The 26th to 40th wooden sawmill is built in Northern Myanmar, with a production of 50 kg lumber daily also. The first steel mill is built in Yangoon.. Ask for trade, technology and military co-operation with the Gang Dynasty.
 * UMSHM: The conservative government is ousted in the elections, and the progressives gain power. On their agenda: encouraging settlers to the colonies, keeping a well-armed peace, and re-opening discussions about the creation of an Empire of Greater Germany. The King-Duke expresses outrage at the ruthless murder of the Pope. When the news arrives of the obliteration of the Conclave (which, by the way, included the Primate of Magdeburg), His Majesty is consumed with anger, and sets up a commision to find every single person connected to the murder and bombing and bring them to justice. The general population is also outraged, and some synagogues are attacked by angry mobs. The government intervenes and breaks up the mobs, protecting the innocent Jews from the protesters whose judgement has been blinded by anger. The colonies are expanded, and the capital of Saxon West Africa continues to thrive as a tropical European city. The economy of the nation does dip a little, but treasurers say it is to be expected after such a momentous change as the abolition of serfs.
 * Again, the Proventian military has captured the perpetrators.
 * Confederation of the Rhine: Settlers from the member-states settle in the new colonies. The Bundesrat votes to allow Luxemburg to be a fully-fledged state of Brandenburg whilst remaining in the Confederation. The Emperor sends a congratulations, signed by the President of the Bundesrat, to the Kaiser of Germany for his accession to the Russian Tsarship (Tsarships were meant to fly. Sorry, bad pun). The militaries are expanded.
 * The governments and people of Luxembourg and Brandenburg thank the Confederation.
 * Primatial Magdeburg: The eccelesiastical city-state goes into complete paralysis with the death of not only the Pope, but the Primate as well. The German Catholic bishops (as in Catholic Bishops who are German) meet in Magdeburg to appoint a successor. For now, the Primacy is sede vacante. The Bishop of Australis, hearing the tragic news late in the year, boards the next ship to Europe to launch his bid for the primacy. The Bishop was born in Australis to a Deacon and his half-aboriginal wife, and the prospect of his appointment manages to temper the sadness of many of the citizens of Saint Boniface and Saint Thomas.
 * Ethiopia expands its military, economy and infrastructure, and those of its vassals. The vassal of Adal expands by 10,000 km. Msraq Qäsärä is expanded by 2250 km, while Borona is expanded by 1500 km. The colony of Dähnnät is expanded by 250 km. Bonoman is vassalized on the fifth year.
 * Zululand: The Zulu begins to set up trade with natives. They come into contact with whites from an unknown area, on ships they have never seen before. The Zulu orders to make relations with these unknowns.
 * Italia begins to expand its military after the last ships return from Nuovo Brescia. Urbanization continues in Southern Italia at a rapid pace while the city of Venice is sidelined further in the face of successful Western port cities like Naples, Palermo and Genoa. Construction continues to modernize the City of Venice. The Aymaras and Nya Gyptios expand 10,000 sq km inland while Nuovo Brescia expands by 8500 sq km along the coastline of Northern Australia. Malacca expands by 5000 sq km.
 * Yugoslavia, Greece and Siam continue to expand their economies.

'''The Bonoman are invaded by the Dahomey Empire, the Dahomey win a quick one year war annexing large parts of the east of Bonoman. This then sends Bonoman into civil war after the current rulers are seen to be inefficient in war (against Dahomey) and weak politically (against Mali and Ethiopia). Civil disarray plunges the nation into chaos.'''


 * How much can a colony expand into a region in civil disarray? Normal rates?
 * I'll be posting a map next turn to show how the nation has fallen to the surrounding nations, so don't worry about it in this case. But I'm afraid I don't know and cannot help for future reference either ~Von.
 * Ah, I see.
 * Ethiopia owns Bonoman. Why the sudden invasion and no free Ethiopian support? ~Viva
 * When and how?
 * I spent five years vassalizing it, and got it last year. ~Viva
 * Ah. Still it can fall into disarray. But I doubt any non-border vassalization could be so short. 
 * This isn't the first non-border vassal I've taken. Yorubaland was one of those, and Von cleared it. And the rules state that vassalization of a non-player nation takes five years. ~Viva
 * The rules say at least five years, rather that is the minimum ~Von.
 * Ah.
 * I cleared Yorubaland/Ife to become your vassal because you've been posting as them for years, regardless that it didn't exist on the map. So I gave you Ife to make up for it. And I did this because I was seeing a few nations trying to vassalize Bonoman or take it over. There was confusion on the issue so I was clearing it up for all parties ~Von.
 * Gotcha. ~Viva

One of these, Jonah and the Whale, is hailed by many as the greatest artwork in Selk'nam history - the painting depicts Jonah in a fierce storm abord a K'onipian whaling ship. The Great Chief is so taken by the painting that he commissions two canvas copies - one for himself and the other to be shipped to Arthur II of Wales as a way of taunting Rafael.

This events are all darkened by a Proto secularist law beginning to be openly spread in the kingdom domains as the French monarch perishes due to its age. He releases the iuris libertatis religionis which allows tull freedom to every citizen of the kingdom or members of the monarchy to express, without further concern, their creeds (Including Kappelism, Orthodox Catholicism, allegedly wiped out by 1460, Islam in Carthage, Africa, Nestorianism and German and Italic churches and the new Scientific Deism). Jean baptiste de Hollande, citizen of Nantes begins writing the first liberal and scientific book referring the French, German, Portuguese and Italian cultures and its government, refering to the German government with a disrespect of the popular choice. While stating that French, Italian and Portuguese are more eager towards allowing their respective populations to grow freely, however, criticizing the French delay on several policies such as slavery, the Italian expansionist campaigns and the Portuguese lack of relative progress in comparison to the rest of the nations of Western Europe. It states that Frenc progess was heavily delayed by the previous king monarchic uncapability to keep the nation together using the example of the civil war of 1511 and the one of 1641 barely over almost 100 years ago. As well, it states that the German success in re-uniting the nation under three main banners. It's quite surprising seeing how the events were by 1580 and the almost complete annihilation that the Caliphate would have brought to all of Europe. He concludes saying that despite this progress all of the nations are far from being ended. and finally mentions Russia as being the only real stable nations in the east of Europe and the border with Tartar Asia.  As well, it refers to the final and needed success of a French reunification with Aquitaine, Normandy and Provence.

In response to the painting of Jonah and the Whale, Raphael creates a beautiful piece of artwork depicting the Garden of Eden in the Garden of Avalon, with St. David as an Angel of the Lord. The piece, Mae'r Garrd o Eden, is considered remarkable, and is immediately hailed as the greatest Welsh piece of artwork in history.
 * England, Scotland, Belfast, Cork, and Brittany  grow their militaries and economies. Population growing policies remain in place, and Welsh culture continues to make a lot of progress in its continued spread.

Whyllyngtan is completed, and is now a succesfuly port city with a lot of regional influence.

'''Following the assassination of Emperor Oti his son, Kondo ascends to the throne as Emperor Kondo. He orders an investigation into his father's assassination which discovers that it was the work of Ethiopia. Angry with this barbaric action, Emperor Kondo orders every Ethiopian in his empire to be sold into slavery. Emperor Kondo builds up the military of Dahomey and asks his allies Germany and United Maharajya to help in case Ethiopia invades. A +3 military development bonus is caused by Emperor Kondo's military build up, and honouring the alliances and helping Dahomey from invasion will give helpers better trade deals and gratitude (e g, an economic bonus and future military aid in wars in the region; maybe even agreeing to become a protectorate if you help lots)'''

'''There are no Ethiopians in Bonoman, and ticking off a major power doing that would be like selling British citizens into slavery. The countdown to that nation's demise would begin. ~Viva'''

If no answer is heard two years time after the plan is in place, then Bavaria and Saxony shall form the union separately of Brandenburg, which may of course choose to enter at anytime.

 * I need to see the plans first. I need to know our rights, the balance of power and the national access rights-of-way.
 * Saxon Proposal: This is the proposal that combines what Saxony and Bavaria generally want:
 * Crown: The Emperorship will be held for life and be rotated amongst the ruling houses of Brandenburg, Bavaria and Saxony. The Imperial Capital will be that of the emperor's nation.
 * Addendum: The Emperorship is requested as limited to a five year term, as the original HRE collapsed due in large part, Emperors abusing their power due to their long terms. As Bavarian Humanism has grown massively in the south, the people want a much more representative government.
 * Sovereignty: Member-states will have full control over internal affairs and, to a certain extent, external ones as well. Members will retain their own monarchs and legislatures. Members can engage in wars. If a member-state chooses to engage in an war of aggression (i e, it is not invaded) than the other member-states do not have to enter. In the event of a war of defence (ie a member-state is invaded) then all members are obliged to assist. Members cannot wage war on one another. Each state retains administrative control over its colonies held at the time of unification, and has the right to further colonise in its own name. States have to right to leave the empire at any time, however they must give two year's notice.
 * Governance: There will be a Reichsrat consisting of set numbers of appointed representaives from each nation. It will discuss any joint matters.
 * Addendum: Bavaria believes the Reichsrat should be composed of 12 Justicars, three from each region, plus three that will serve as a checks and balance over the other branches.
 * Military: The navies will be combined into one Imperial navy. It will be commanded by a board of four Sea Lords; one from the three main members, and one to represent the smaller members. Member-states can use the navy for their own purposes, although common goals come first. Each member retains their own separate army, with its own command structure. Member-states have unlimited military access to each other and all the colonies.
 * Navies shall remain sperate, but are required to fund and aid the Central Navy.
 * Special Saxon Requests: Saxony will have administrative control over the colonies of the Confederation of the Rhine. The Confederation will be dissolved, however the other members recognise a Saxon sphere of influence in the non-vassalised Rhinish states.

Many scientists continue to work in the biological field. Sewage system recommendation continues. The SOC continues ferrying the settlers into Amazonia.

The naton also strengthens relations with the Matarami government and establish stronger control over the new vassals. The Maharajya promises the Dahomy that it will not be taken over by the Ethiopians. The Raja visits Ethiopia to talk about such matters, and suggest that they do not try to take the state over as they are worth more trouble than the profit.

The Ethiopian leaders acknowledge the Maharajya's words, but state that it was Oti's arrogance and threats toward the Ethiopian people residing in neighboring Yorubaland that spelt his demise. The government warns Ethiopians planning on moving to Bonoman to avoid the state. Ethiopia had no desire to conquer the trifling nation (which I believe I brought out in the last post). The vassalization of Kitara begins with the development of strong politicial and religious ties with the African kingdom.

 * You only spent one year on Sulu and Magindanaw, whereas I spent several. The bare minimum is five. Although I offer to buy Madia As or trade it for something.
 * Wales continues its goal of being a recognized power. To do this, Wales continues its war on Hobyo. The population growing techniques stay in place, and the population grows. The Cathedral of St. David in Avalon is completed, and is a magnificient piece of architecture that sets the tone for a new style of architecture - Celtic Baroque. A number of established buildings in Avalon, which is a Baroque city, are reformed by Raphael and his pupils to adopt a more Celtic tone. The Mae'r Garrd o Eden is the highlight of the cathedral, in addition to the Pillars of St. David.
 * England, Scotland, Belfast, Cork, and Brittany  grow their militaries and economies. Population growing policies remain in place, and Welsh culture continues to make a lot of progress in its continued spread.

The Welsh Royal Coast is now almost 90% Christian, while in Morocco as much as 75% is Christian.
 * Brunei  continues its conversion (45% Catholic), and we use the fall of Orissa as proof that Hinduism is a false religion. This of course is not directly stated to any other nations in the area, which could take offence. Brunei grows its economy and miltary for expansion.  New South Wales  grows its economy, and Catholic missionaries are sent there as well, also reaching 45% conversion this year.

Also, the Emperor of Ethiopia would like the world to know of the inclusion of the Majeerteen Sultanate into the empire as a vassal (it's the Ethiopian territory in OTL Puntland Scan gave me a while back. Thought I'd let everyone know it's a vassal).
 * Myanmar established "Myanmar Oceania" in OTL Perth in 1716, and has mentioned it consistently in their posts ever since. Also, just clarifying, you did give your Northern Australian colony (the one closest to Saint Boniface) to Saxony as a part of the separate peace treaty, right? (It's just not shown on the map, so I'm not entirely sure) Callumthered (talk) 09:45, June 22, 2013 (UTC)

 * UMSHM: Diplomats and policymakers continue to hammer out the details of how the Greater Germanic Empire will operate. General elections are held, and the Progressives are returned, but with a smaller majority than last time. They vow to improve the education system. They begin by putting more funding into Kassel University, (which, by the way, does accept the Bavarian help offered the year before last, and hopes for good results) and by opening more free "pre-preparatory" schools to cater for talented children from 11-16. There are examinations to enter, so not just any average Fritz can get in. In Africa, the Saxon colony expands a bit into the so-called "Gabon triangle". In Australis, the RAR gets to work putting the remainder of the sparsely inhabited Hans Island under the control of the Governor in Saint Boniface. On the Aru Islands, a satellite mission (run by the Holy Wettin Missionary Order) is razed to the ground by [insert native religion of Aru islands here] extremists. The Bishop of the East Indies calls on the Royal and Ducal government for help, which is forthcoming in the form of a large punitive expedition, consisting of four ships and a reasonable sized army force. (Is this allowed?)
 * Confederation of the Rhine: The Confederal government decides on a course of action with regards to the Germanic Unification. All of the small, members (so all the members bar Saxony, Anhalt and Brandenburgish Luxemburg) will remain in a Confederation of the Rhine. It will join the Empire as the "fourth Germany", but it understands it will be the underdog. The Confederal Emperor's title shall be changed to "Protector of the Rhine Confederation", and will remain with the King-Duke of Saxony. As a result, the Imperial rotation will not be affected. The remaining member-states will have one unified army. Due to its landlocked nature it will have no navy (although it will retain a Sea Lord on the Imperial Sea Board). Rhinish Guinea will continue to be administered by the Confederation, but Rhinish Gabon will be ceded to Saxon West Africa. (Bavaria, Brandenburg, does this sound reasonable?)
 * Primatial Magdeburg: The destruction of the satellite mission on the Aru Islands causes shock amongst the missionary community.

The bishop of the East Indies uses the tragedy as an opportunity to get closer to the native rulers of the islands, who wish to distance themselves from the incident.
 * The Arabian Federation ends the war against Larantuka and annexes some Larantuka territory into the Timor/Kupang colony.

With this war over, the Sultan decides that the Muslim bloc should send military aid to help Somalia so the Sultan sends some of his ships from Larantuka to Somalia to help out his muslim brothers.

''' Rhaetia, otherwise known as Switzerland undergoes a revolt against France. Nine of the Cantons lead by Bern demand freedom from French influence much to the displeasure of Geneva. They seek Bavarian and Italian protection. '''
 * Which is the reason of their revolt, they are pretty much receiving some level of self determination and the advantages of being part of the French monarchy, they have the same liberties that France and I would suppose they would first try to ask from France more liberties than a direct revolt.
 * As well, there are other nations that would have revolted long ago and they didn't why would you target me other than wishing the territories I possess. Sine dei gloriem (talk) 21:56, June 24, 2013 (UTC)
 * If you recall correctly, the mod event that caused Switzerland to revolt from Venice the first time was mine. Geneva wished for closer ties, but now Bern (which is Germanic), is demanding Swiss independence from France. Scandinator (talk) 22:10, June 24, 2013 (UTC)
 * Well, sorry for the implications, I'm a little bit paranoid. At least, could you tell me which are the independent Cantons, to see if it's worth 'for me '''to fight for them or not?

Those who have seen the most recent paintings, depicting the prophesies of doom on Edom and Assyria from the Biblical books of Obadiah and Nahum, reflect the artist's increasingly fragile mental state. Yet, many claim them to be the artists best work yet - with his madness driving him to use increasingly vivid and surreally unrealistic colors to depict the fires of judgement. In the painting of Nahum, the sky is filled with abstract representations of fire based on old Selk'nam war paint patterns, rather than copying from nature. Some say that, via lunacy, Michael Angelus may have finally achieved the "pure Atlantian" art that he sought to elevate.

We were discussing how to divide Switzerland, I was going to give up half of Switzerland - the north to be exact. Seriously, tons of other nations that have been more historically rebellious have not revolted and the Swiss do. Something wrong is going on with the logic of this.

The Weltzeituhr newspaper continues to print in record numbers.  Wissenschaft Heute (Science Today) continues to outline the exciting new innovations and discoveries of the scientific community. All Bavarian militaries expand. German Switzerland is asked if it would like to join the Germanic Union, the Union will ensure the Swiss' protection, and the highly independent Swiss will retain their nation. The Royal Academy of Sciences expands its research to include the study of human anatomy, Scientists at the University of Munchen request that some Italian experts come up to help with the new research.

 * The Great Haruwin of the Selk'nam:  The military and economy continue to expand. The Crows.jpgdral continues to rise above Ona Yagich, and Michael Angelus nears completion of his magnificent fresco-covered nave. He is never seen outside the cathedral, and increasingly not seen inside to all but his closest associates, preferring to paint at night by candlelight so as not to be distracted. It is rumored that even the Great Chief is considering removing the madman from supervision of the project, but the beautiful frescos compel him to leave the artist in place. It is announced that Michael Angelus has completed the centerpiece of the project, a giant four-panel fresco of The Parable of the Sower at the front wall of the cathedral behind the al tar. It divides the local aristocracy, having  been painted in furious dashes and flashes of color, blatantly rejecting the realism of European art in favor of a "more Atlantian" approach. Great Chief Tuch'huelpe declares it "the most distinctive piece of Selk'nam art, which will stand for generations as a symbol of our people". Three days later, Michael Angelus suffers a major psychotic breakdown and sets his own scaffolding on fire in the nave. His aides are able to put out the flames, but there is minor smoke damage to the frescos on the roof, and the artist himself suffers painful burns that require recuperation. It is decided that Michael Angelus will live out his days protected from himself in the Great Chief's palace, while his underling Vincent Hgog'nav'ich of K'onip is placed in charge of finishing the church.

Urbanization continues in Southern and Western Italia at a rapid pace while the city of Venice continues its decline in the face of Western port cities like Naples, Palermo and Genoa. Large scale use of the waterwheel continues to occur in the Italian heartlands - especially around Florence. Scientists from across Europe flock to witness the almost constant public demostrations and experiments at the University of Venice in the field of chemistry. Meanwhile, the University of Milan and the University of Istria continue to lead in the study of human anatomy with near daily dissections much to the displeasure of the local populace. Italia and its subject nations continue to experience a declining death rate as a result of greater understanding of how the human body works.
