Tsar Yemen the Great comes to power in Russia. The new Tsar attacks and annexes a portion of Sweden, after enacting a reform of his army first. The Tsar invades and annexes Ukraine, Belarus, Lithuania, and Poland after great effort, breaking off the alliance with Ukraine and Belarus to do so. The tsar wanted to expand his empire at all costs, even if he had to break up a treaty to do so. The tsar also forces the Kolyma Tribal Confederation to join Russia as a "protectorate". He fails to force Turkey to become a protectorate, but does secure a non-aggression pact with them. Yemen then settles down and consolidates his new gains, building his military up. He signs an alliance with China, granting them the right to annex Tibet, in exchange for gaining territory for Russia in northern China. Shortly after this agreement, China invades and annexes most of Tibet.

1261[]

Kolyma Tribal Confederation becomes part of Russia.
Tsardom of Russia now faces a war all across Europe. As Sweden, Byzantine Rome ally, putting aside their differences to attack the traitorous Russia. This alliance attracts the minor powers in Europe as well because of the fact the many of them are now afraid of Russia and see it as a dis-honorable nation (breaking it alliance with friendly nations and then attacking them, and to top it off they ally with an age old enemy). #Georgia and Armenia join to secure their northern border and take some land.

Byzantine reinforcements in Egypt relieve the siege of Alexandria. The final defeat of the Egyptian armies along with the improved fortifications and the increasingly Greek population ends Egyptian claims on the city once and for all. Due to the war in Russia, however, the Byzantines give up any efforts of regaining the rest of North Africa for now.
A unified invasion of Russia between the Byzantines, Hungarians, Austrians and Prussians results in nearly pushing the Russians from the occupied territory. Polish, Lithuanian, Ukrainian and Swedish forces in hiding in the occupied lands join up with the liberating armies.

Georgia becomes a full member of the Orthodox League.

1264[]

The European allied nations make small advances into Russia, this is countered by a Russian surprised amphibious landing near the Swedish capital, and eventually the taking of it. The Swedish people demand the retaking of the capitol, thus leaving only enough troops on the border with Russia to defend and not attack.
Portuguese are finally knocked out of the middle east for good. The Arabian Caliphate turns it attention towards Ethiopia by amassing troops along their border with them. The Ethiopians respond in kind.
The Egyptians, feeling good after the small war that took them back into Mediterranean ports, wish to annihilate an old enemy while Byzantine Rome has their backs turned. Thus, with the help of the Sudan, launch a massive assault against Ethiopia. The Ethiopians think that they where cheated as no one comes on their behalf to fight along side them (they thought Romans, or maybe the Turks would); troops are withdrawn from the Peninsula and sent to protect Ethiopia major. (Arabian Caliphate and Egypt/Sudan forces are not allied right now)
Japan takes Taiwan (I believe) in the south China's sea. Konyo, which have favored China over Japan for almost 100 years, attacks Japanese homeland. These attacks are largely unsuccessful and only gain minor lands in Japan (Japanese navy is in the south). Mainly due to the fact that after all the civil unrest, the only people left in Japan are loyalist through-and-through.
Kongo integrates more tribes into its nation.
Sweden thinks of suing for peace towards the end of the year due to massive losses, so they can finally get back to their peoples holding in the America's, which are going through some hard times.
On December 12, the Turkish Empire sign a peace treaty with the Arabian Caliphate in order to move troops west to amass along the Byzantine border. This starts a stare-down between the two empires.

The Swedish colonies in South America are (at least inland) gone, with only coastal ones reaming. This is because of daises, starvation, and war with some of the native people.
Ethiopian colonies are nearly wiped out due to the lost communications with the colonies down in Australia (El Nino hit hard destroying large enough shipments). They survive off the land AND the natives help.
The Native-American Union, as it came to be known, unites more people in Central America and the south-central parts of North America. They also start to become further harassed by some of the Frankreich colonies in southern part of North America. To deal with they make alliance with the government of New Wales, which has also expanded faster due to their already close trade. (Unlike OTL America, New Wales actually sets up a trading post with native tribes and offers them help with anything medical or what not. This leads to a large reduction in Indian-New Wales attacks, thus allowing them to expand faster into the inland.)
The Frankreich expands its colonies slightly, but are blocked from uniting the two halves after New Wales sets up forts along with cities in order to protect not only the citizens of New Wales, but all so their close allies, the Indians.
{Light Blue nation in Greenland} expands more inland and along the coast. It has close trade relations with Byzantine Rome and good relations with the Frankreich kingdom.
Byzantine Alaska is given a puppet government so with a small contingent of soldiers, with the troops leaving in order to support the war on Russia. This new puppet government is somewhat successful in integrating small tribes into itself (not growing much at all, but increasing trade significantly)

The Jewish-Ethiopian colony down in Australia is left with a small contingent of soldiers while Ethiopia has to deal with more problems at home. They decide to let the colony become self-governed, so they have a puppet regime installed.The colony renames itself the Republic of Jewdian People (unable to type name one the blueish-gray area). This nation grows inland, as do the Japanese colony, Portuguese colonies (which is having trouble with the natives, but a lot more then the Republic of Jewdian People), and Byzantine Roman colony.
The Republic of Jewdian People is still loyal to Ethiopia and sends troops to help, albeit militia.
The Byzantine Roman colony expands to encompass Tasmania, all of New Zealand, and some territory in Australia; this is because they are able to make profitable trade with the natives and although some are hate Byzantine Roman people, more then enough like these newcomers. The Australian front becomes known for its lawlessness, thus falls quickly into an old west styled area.
New Japan, as it was not seen needed to rename, comes to have close trade and diplomatic relations with the Republic of Jewdian People. The Yapa tribes becomes more of an ally then enemy against other eastern powers trying to colonies Australia.
The Portuguese think of either sending more troops to the colony or abandoning it.

1265[]

New Wales is annexed by Greater Britain.
