Almost Map Game

What is Almost? Well Almost is a map game in which almost everything that could have happened in something place did happen. Perhaps someone who was important died, or someone who died OTL didn't die. Diffirent outcomes of battles, a storm here and there, someone build a colony here instead of there.

 * If the game begins around 1825-1850 then why is China fractured? They were still under the rule of Qing Dynasty OTL and China had Manchukuo, Tibet, Mongolia, and Tannu Tuva at the time. -Kogasa
 * I will editafy!
 * Is Africa to be collonised before the game's start or there going to be a major free African Nation(s) (like OTL Egypt, Liberia, Transvaal/OFS, Ethiopia, and so on).The River Nile-2 (talk) 19:45, April 4, 2013 (UTC)
 * It's going to be free, but I'm going to make it that most are still revolting, and I'm going to revolt-ception, since in Africa there are revolts going on today due to culture, unless Europe or powerful African nation steps in Africa will collapse me thinks Potato (talk) 23:22, April 4, 2013 (UTC)

 * What country borders Britannicca in Norway? Local Mafia Boss (talk) 06:36, April 8, 2013 (UTC)
 * Norway and Brittanica have no border Potato (talk) 14:31, April 8, 2013 (UTC)
 * Outcome of battle will be decided by mod? If yes, do you have algorythm or decision will simply depend on army size? DariusTheMouse (talk) 14:26, April 8, 2013 (UTC)
 * Yeah, I'm getting an algorythm. If a battle were to happen now I would get algorythm done within the next day or two. Also, the Ottomans are pretty weak right now so I wouldn't reccomend it. Potato (talk) 14:31, April 8, 2013 (UTC) *I know, just asking. ;]
 * What's the government type of Austria-Hungary? Is it a kingdom or a republic? SuperGalaxy (talk) 18:34, April 9, 2013 (UTC)

 * I'm Hungarian so I know much about Austria-Hungary :) But I've tought it's maybe different in the game. May I write its in-game history? SuperGalaxy (talk) 19:46, April 9, 2013 (UTC)
 * sure Potato (talk) 23:38, April 9, 2013 (UTC)
 * Can you change the statistics on the Nations page in-game, for example I have changed my infrastructure, does that change the stats on the Nations page? Local (talk)
 * It will change, but it takes a while to change things. About five years to move up, and quicker to move down. Potato (talk) 16:21, April 12, 2013 (UTC)
 * I just attacked Vancouver with a massive army,and got repelled despite having many factors that aren't recorded by the algorithm on my side, like a navy firing salvos at the enemy army, suprise, a night attack and Hideously outnumbering them. It doesn't make sense.
 * It's being worked on.
 * Just seen it, thanks
 * Is Mozambique and Madagascar still a Portuguese colony?(which is now Brazil since the spanish conquest, right?)
 * Are they the same color as portugal?
 * They are in a different color, but nothing in the Almost World mencioned an independence from those colonies.
 * Read the major POD about Revolution spreading

Should Maritime Borders be Shown?
Voting concluded 4/24

May take some time to get them all dones, expect the map to be patfchy with these borders

New Algorythm?
I have a idea for a new algorythm based completely off the amount of soldiers each side has, and then subtractions or additions of percents for modifiers in order to make wars not almost completely dependant on troop numbers in major powers -Violently Calm (talk) 01:47, April 29, 2013 (UTC)

Game
Game starts in 1830 with 6 players.

1845
'Mod Event: Tensions rise as a Vancouver ship sinks in Oregon waters, with Oregon asking why Vancouver had a ship there, and Vancouver accusing them of blowing it up. Many African nations begin having culture wars, as many ethnic groups see themselves as not being represented properly, or under the flag of foreigners, with it worse in the regions around Lake Victoria, Lake Albert, Lake Edward, Lake Kivu, Lake Tanganyika, Lake Niassa (you get the idea)''. Inuits in Greenalnd ask for greater autonomy from Britannica.'''

Republic of Unified Melanesian Islands: The capital city is declared Port Moresby.Begins cutting down swaths of forest to enable the nation to create a better infrastructure, as many cities have no roads connecting to them whatsoever. The first naval base is built in Noumea, with a government plan to build the first 3 ships by the end of the year. Plans to set up several government operated ferry routes between islands, but due to the nation's tight budget it is planned for now to ony be between the New Britain peninsula and Papua. Supports Vancouver diplomatically should a war come.

Imperial Federation of Tribal Brittanicans(IFTB): Grants the Inuit of Greenland the right of representation in Federation meetings, now known as 'parliament'. Parliament grants freedom for slaves within the Empire. The Navy begins construction of a vast fleet of warships. The largest of which has 250 guns, 5 decks and 6 sails. Several Ironclads are also constructed.

Empire of Japan: Japan builds up its military and industrialisation begins. Japan also asks Siam for an alliance.
 * Siam D (RNG): We decline

Ottoman Empire: Military: Ottoman Turkey starts building forges that produces guns across the country. Mobilisation started and soon militia will be formed. 10 units of Janissaries with 1000 men each were formed. 1000 Timariot cavalrymen mobilised. Also regular army of 70'000 men (60'000 infantry and 10'000 bowmen) relocated near Jerusalem. Foreign Affairs: Alliances proposed to Persia and Egypt. Sultan said that he will try to retake Muslim lands of Jerusalem. Economy: Economy is very poor and reforms needed. Sultan gave orders to ministers, now all possible resources will be used. Forges, smelts, workshops (producing steam engines and agriculture equipment). (If it's 1845>) When Ottomans saw British railway, they understood how good and usefull it could be if developed. Building of first railway Istanbul-Angora is in progress. Also it is planned to somehow build bridge over the Bosporus strait so Locomotives could go straight without transportation by ship. Republic of Thrace and Thessaloniki- Coastal agriculture and fishing are improved. Democratic State Vancouver: Tensions continue to rise as we prepare for war with Oregon by building up our army. We send finatial support to Melanesia.
 * Persia D: We decline your alliance request, as we still don't like you. In fact we like you so little we will insult your face now. Your face is ugly. How does that make you feel?
 * The Ottomans are not guilty for previous wars we had like 20 years before. We want to say sorry and improve our relations.
 * Persia D: We will agree to an embassy exchange for now.
 * Ottoman Empire sends ambassador to Persia and Quran carved into silver sheets as a sign of friendship.
 * Egypt D: Alliance offer accepted
 * Ottoman D: Offers an alliance.
 * Republic of Thrace D: Yes, we can be friends. We will safeguard local Moslems if the Ottomans say they will continue to look after their Christians.
 * Ottoman D: Yes, of course, we will. Also we would like to offer you military assistance (in case you would like to unite Greece and conquer Macedonia) for colonies that are on coast of Black Sea.
 * Republic of Thrace D: Yes, we think this would be a good idea, but plan it for later on.

Feel free to help!

1846
'''Mod Event: Tensions continue to rise between Oregon and Vancouver. The Moors, Mino, and Kingdom of God threaten the Ottomans that they shall defend Jersualem to the last. Cultural violence in Africa continues to rise, Thule (OTL Iceland) sees a large immigration of fleeing Africans, mostly from Nigeria, Mozambique, and the Horn of Africa. '''

Melanesia: Continues politically backing Vancouver, and begins a trade embargo with Oregon. Builds up the military in case of possible war. The first three ships are complete, and another four are to be made with the financial support sent by Vancouver. Most of far eastern Papau along with many smaller islands have at least dirt roads connecting major regions. The state-run ferry system begins working in the western Soloman Islands.

Empire of Japan: Japan builds up its military and industrialisation continues.

The Ottoman Empire starts build more forges across the country. Militia of 10'000 men formed and soon will e equiped with firearms. For now army of 71'000 men is enough for poor Ottoman economy. Foreign Affairs: As economy can not be stable without foreign workforce and specialists, Ottomans become more and more open to other cultures and religions. Sultan states that people of Horn Of Africa that no longer want to live in their country are welcomed in Ottoman Empire where they will have freedom of faith and culture. Economy:  First railway line building is in progress. Sultans ministers begin to prepare reforms so Ottomans could become industrialised capitalist state.

Republic of Thrace and Thessaloniki- Coastal agriculture and fishing are improved.Upgrades roads.

Austria-Hungary: The newly formed dual state, Austria-Hungary starts great administrative reforms, to make the country stable. The national Austrian and Hungarian governments meet in Vienna to write the consitution. Durnig this conference, Bosnian nationalists start rebelling to make their homeland independent. The Austro-Hungarian Congress of Vienna gives autonomy to the upset Bosnians to prevent a civil war. By September the consitution is finished, and the Federal Republic of Austria and Hungary is proclaimed on 7th October. To stabilitze the economy and boost the inner trade, the caretaker government abolishes the custom borders between Austria, Hungary and Bosnia. The military is reorganised from the former Austrian Imperial Army, and completed with some Hungarian regiments, so it reaches the size of 60.000.

1847
'''Mod Event: Nigeria and Republic of Biafra go to war, Nigeria trying to increase stability in Africa via unification. Racism is rampant in Thule due to African immigration as well as blacks being second-hand citizens. Several Oregon artillery canons shoot over the Vancouver border and hit nothing but land, and when accused denies everything. Minoan Caribbean begins to revolt, taking the Bahamas and Jamaica. The lake nations in OTL Kenya revolt, and manage to press several government changes and it becomes the Kenyattan Commonwealth, with regions gaining great autonomy, and the Commonwealth also goes to war with OTL Milawi. '''

Melanesia: Military reaches 6,000 personnel, and the first modern ship is planned to be made by the end of the year. Begins ferrying the rest of the Salomon Islands, as well as in the Afrufa sea. The first railroad between Port Moresby and Popendatta, and paved roads appear around Port Moresby and some dirt roads in western Nua-Ghuine Phapua (Translated it to Irish since that is the closest OTL thing to Celtic). Offers Vancouver 750 soldiers in-case of an Oregan attack in return for financial aid and foreign specialists to help in national modernization. Offers a trade deal to Japan.


 * Japan Diplomacy: Japan accepts Melanesia's trade deal.

Austria-Hungary: The common caretaker government resigns, and elections are held in the whole Union. Austria and Hungary both elect ministers of interior, industry, agriculture, inner trade, national development, national development and justice, but the two country have a common unicameral Senate, president and ministers of foreign affairs, defense and finance. Four political parties get into the Senate: the Conservative Party, which main goal is to give more autonomy to the parts of the republic; the Unionist Liberal Party, which wants more comprehensive integration and free trade; the Hungarian National Party, which wants Hungary to dominate in the leadership of the union, and the Austro-Hungarian Irredentists, who want to reclaim the original lands of the Habsburg Monarchy, including Bohemia, Moravia, Transylvania and Slovakia. The Hungarian government mostly formed from conservatives and nationalists, while the Austrian is from liberals. The ruling party of the Senate is the Conservative. The president is Lajos Kossuth, famous left-liberal Hungarian politician. His goal is to upgrade the Hungarian industry to the Austrian level, so the Hungarian government starts supporting Austrian capitalists to invest into farming of Hungary. Building of railroads between Vienna and Budapest is also started. The new government offers and alliance to Italy and Serbia.

Empire of Japan: Japan builds up its military and industrialisation continues. Some Shinto Shrines and Temples are built in Kamchatka.

The Ottoman Empire continue industrialisation, factories are built in major cities. Railway project Istanbul-Ankara is in progress. Sultan formed a parliament which accepted some laws regarding to working peoples, such as limited workday and minimal wage.

Republic of Thrace and Thessaloniki- Coastal agriculture and fishing are improved.Upgrades roads.Docks and harbours are improved. A literacy and numeracy campaigne starts. Carpenters and stone masons are recruited and set to work in new factories. New paved roads appear around Thessaloniki and some dirt roads occur else ware. A trade deal is offered to Macedon.

1848
'''Mod Event: The Kenyatta Commonwealth annexes OTL Milawi, and Oregon declares war on Vancouver. Biafra is annexed by Nigeria, and several states secced from the Union, forming the Confederacy. Carribbea continues to revolt.'''


 * Empire of Japan: Japan builds up its military and industrialisation continues.
 * Austria-Hungary: The military industry is upgraded in Hungary, and weapon factories are started to work. The Federal Defense law is enachted, and in its name, recruiting of 40.000 new troops, 10.000 new hussars and building of 300 new cannons is started, who will become able to serve in 1850. To upgrade the trade, a long new railroad is started to build between Budapest and Vienna. The president also asks Bavaria and Wrüttemberg to sign a trade agreement. He offers alliance to Prussia.
 * Melanesia: Sends its offer to Vancouver again. Ferry service is now applied to all islands. Military reaches 5,000 modernized soldeirs, plans to create another two modern battleships by the end of the year. Minokwari and Sorong are now connected by both paved roads and highways. Much of the eastern part island is connected by a web of roads, though most are not paved and in disreppair.

1849
Mod Event: Caribbea revolts and forms Karaïvikí̱s. '''Seeing Oregon's defeat, Deseret joins the war on the side of Oregon, wanting to keep the other theocratic nation alive. Atarashi Hokkaido also joins the war, but on the side of Vancouver. It is now Vancouver + Melanesia + Atarashi Hokkaido vs. Oregon + Deseret. ''Cry havoc and let loose the dogs of war! '


 * Empire of Japan: Japan builds up its military and industrialisation continues.
 * Melanesia: Offers an alliance to Japan. Paved roads and railroads connect most major cities. Continues to improve road networking, and to deal with the current infastructural issues ferries are now also transport people around the main island of Papau. Due to the West American war getting hotter another 750 soldiers of Melanesia's now 8,000 (1,500 total) are sent.A navy of now five ships is planne to be made into eight by the end of the year.
 * Japan Diplomacy: Japan accepts Melanesia's offer of alliance.
 * Austria-Hungary: Building up of 20.000 more infantry, 3.000 new cavalry and 120 new cannons is started, they will be finished in 1851. The government supports the building costs by raising the taxes and the tariffs. Cannons are ordered to the Bohemian and Slovakian borders. An alliance offer is sent to Prussia. More money is invested into the upgrading of the infrastructure of the northern territories. Nationalism and jingoism is strenghtened against the Slovakas and Bohemians. A small communist party is formed by workers. Industrialization in hungary continues, newly opened factories get support from the state. The Senate accepts the Law of Nationalities, which brutally orders the Slovaks to leave Hungary. The liberal parties and Kossuth try to stop the spreading racism, but they don't succeed. Everybody wants to regain the territories of Slovakia and Bohemia.
 * Prussia (RNG): We decline.
 * IFTB: Hearing of the war in the americas, IFTB declares war on Vancouver. They might dislike people that rebel against them, but they HATE people who are or used to be french. They send the steam powered Ironclads, and the 4-6 sailed ships. These are all loaded with redcoats, the only army that could fire 4 shots a minute at this time. Total cannons in fleet; 2013. Total rifles in army;30,000. A new leader of the bureacracy is appointed, he ruthlessly purges the Bureaucracy and replaces the hereditary positions with people being chosen for merit. This begins to improve the infrastructure of the Nation. Troops on Greenland are also mobilised, and they  use their training in northern Greenland to travel around the arctic circle (far south of it) and arrive in Alaska, where they purchase vast quantities of Troop transport ships, load up in them, and join the rest of the armada, raising its number of rifles to 40,000, but not the number of cannons. They are specilized in cold conditions. The IFTB troops fight to extablish a beachhead in Vancouver Territory, they land at night, get as close to the enemy lines as they possibly can, and then the IFTB fleet opens fire on the enemy positions. Algorithm Please. Troops on Brittanica itself are transported to barracks in Brittany.
 * You don't have to have the whole Imperial Tribal Federatio of Tribal Brittanicans, I just wanted that for the first post. You can just say "Brittanica" now.
 * IFIB is shorter.
 * It's actually IFTB 
 * OK
 * Republic of Thrace and Thessaloniki- Coastal agriculture and fishing are improved.Upgrades roads.Docks and harbours are improved. A literacy and numeracy campaign starts. Carpenters and stone masons are recruited and set to work in new factories. New paved roads appear around Thessaloniki and some dirt roads occur elsewhere. A trade deal is offered to Mino and Illyria
 * Illyria (RNG): We decline
 * Mino (RNG): We accept
 * ​Ottoman Empire: Economy slightly increased, infrastructure is noticeably increased, Sultan is happy about fast industrialisation of important cities. To unite all Ottomans and increase morale, parliament decided to declare war on Jerusalem. Extra 20'000 militia and 1'000 Timariot cavalry mobilised and equiped. Army Ottoman_tactics.pnganised to move in groups by one thousand in big operations. Total of: 30'000 militia (artillery corps), 60'000 infantry (Turkish scimitars), 10'000 Janissaries, 1'000 Timariot cavalry and 10'000 archers. In first battle ottomans used this tactic: (ALGORITHM PLEASE)


 * Algorythm has been done.Sorry. \\\
 * Wait, where is my points for army? :?
 * I did your algorythm before the alg reform. You would have lost anyway.

1850
'Mod Event:  Netherlands wrestles the rest of Borneo away from Siam; Liberia annexes Ashantie in a war, and the Sudanese begin to revolt under Egypt.'' Alaska invades Vancouver and Montana in attempt to continue expansionism, this causes their rival on the continent, America, to declare war on them, not wanting Alaska to become too powerful, as well as Montana joining Vancouver, seeing it as their best bet on surivial. It is now Melanesia + America + Montana + Atarashi Hokkaido + Vancouver vs. Deseret + Oregon + Alaska + Brittanica.''' "All war is deception" - Sun Tzu

IFTB: Using explosive shells, the Navy fires on the city of vancouver. Huge fires consume great chunks of the city. The surviving 30,000 men from the previous assault land on the shore during the confusion. Two 5 mast ships and the 6 mast flagship cover the landing. The radical back in Brittanica continues to improve the Infrastructure of the country. The forces in Greenland that left to attack Vancouver, are replaced. Another 1000 soldiers go to Brittany. Bringing the total number of troops that the french are unaware of in Brittany to 10,000, and the total number to 15,000. Another 10,000 men are recruited throughout the empire, so by next year, last years losses will have been recouped as training takes a year. Another 30 Ironclads are commissioned. They will take 5 years to complete. After the surrender of Vancouver. IFTB ceases hostilities. 150 artillery ships are commisioned. ETA 1853.'''CANCELLED. '''Fortifies the areas of land given to us, they are now forts with metre thick walls bristling with cannons. Tunnels are built under the water to link all the forts. The tunnels can be sealed, so even if someone breached one fort, the tunnel would be sealed, so they couldn't sneak in to another Fort. Each fort has a Habour that can be sealed by a giant portcullis. The habours can fit any ship.

I did the algorithm, and got 119 or 199, depending on what you x the no. of 2000 men you have.

Post the algorythm on the wars page, I will edit it if there are any mishaps
 * Vancouver D : We surrender, what are you're terms?
 * IFTB D: We keep the territory we have taken, and you and your allies don't attack that territory.
 * Vancouver: That is most of our land, we can not accept that. We will grant a exclave on the eastern side of the bay, though
 * IFTB D: 20% of your land, same terms.
 * America Rude D: 1812 will be repeated if need be. Be more lenient, they are a small nation and could not possibly spare even 10% of their land!
 * IFTB D: You attack me and my navy will destroy every coastal city you have. All I can possibly lose is some newly conquered land, but I will bring the amount down to 7% of the country. Final Offer.
 * America D: We beat you twice we can beat you thrice!
 * Vancouver D: We propose this, it will grant IFTB other more strategic locati'Almost_Vanvouer_2_Proposal.png'ons
 * Sorry, partially colourblind, what do I get. Local (talk)
 * Each edge of the island and top, bottom, and east of the bay 
 * IFTB D: Accepted

Empire of Japan: Japan builds up its military and industrialisation continues. Some new towns are built in Kamchatka.

Vancouver: We build up our military so it is now containing 25,000 people. We send soldiers to take the islands in the gulf of Alaska where there is no military forces and set up a base of operations. Due to the small population of Vancouver, we start training people more extensively in the military.

Melanesia: Military reaches 15,000 people, and 8 battle ships, with another 2 on the way. Sends another 750 soldiers to Vancouver, and 750 to Atarashi Hokkaido (3,000 soldiers now overseas). Infastructure, stability, and economy increase. The nation is ruled by three major parties, the liberal-facist Oileánachs (Islander), the republican Grand-Clois (Grand Heart), the technocratic Tacaíochts (Supporters), and the conservate-syndacalist Dul i Ngleic (Counter), with facist being the most popular, followed by the syndacalists, then technocrats, then republicans.

Austria-Hungary: The recruitment of the 50.000 new troops is finished. The Senate and the people wants war, but Kossuth doesn't, so he resigns. The new president is elected from the irredentist party. He promises, that he will reconquer the old lands of Austria and Hungary, and raises the taxes of the nationalities by 20%. From this money he starts building up of artillery and weapon factories. All armies is positioned to the Slovak borders, and the war is declared. Austria-Hungary has 140.000 troops, while the Slovak army is weak. The goal is to conquer whole Slovakia.

1851
'''Mod Event: Troops in America sent by Melanesia drop to 2,000 due to the bloodshed. Nigerland unifies; Alaska and Deseret make a plan and spearhead into Montana from the north and south, and the two nations divvy it up. Mexico joins the war on the side of Oregon, wanting to gain land, and it manages to occupy some of southern Atarashi Hokkaido. The CSA also joins, and manages to take some of southern USA, which then forms an aliance with Karaïvikí̱s who manages to take southern Florida. Liberia and Nigeria form an alliance, and invade and cut Ghana in half. Blows are traded in the American War, and due to the mass destruction a famine hits. It is now Oregon + Mexico + Deseret + CSA + Alaska vs. Vancouve   r    + Atarashi Hokkaido + 'USA ''+ Karaïvikí̱s + Melanesia. "The object of war is not to die for your country but to make the other bastard die for his" - General Patton'''
 * IFTB:  The Infrastructure of the Nation is now in a state of constant improvement. A man in Greenland invents a machine that uses Petrol (In US that is Gasoline) to make pistons move. He writes down how to make them, and then goes to bed and dies of Carbon Monoxide poisoning in the night. The machine is discovered a month later, and given to the IFTB authorities. They then research into applications for it. The IFTB sends another 125,000 troops to Brittany, and they attack France with the army of 140 thousand men, the attack is by the coast, so the Navy can give air support. The Navy land a secondary force on the coast, which, if it can establish a Beachhead will swing round and hit the French army from behind. Algorithm please.  A recruitment drive across the nation gives the Army a boost of 100,000 recruits, who will be trained by next turn, to be sent to an undisclosed colony to attack an undisclosed enemy. The economy grows due to Iceland being a tax haven for businessmen. The government has around £50 billion in the coffers. In the American Fortress Network, construction begins on 5 Ironclads of massive proportions, They're slow, but won't be moving far anyways.
 * So, no petrol then?
 * Just did the algorithm, got a HUGE number (559) is that right?
 * I just did the algorythm. No, that's not right. 
 * What should I get?
 * Check the Wars page
 * Brazil:  Since Portugal mainland is lost to Spain, the people inside the region forces the King to sign the Imperial Proclamation, effectively ending the kingdom of Portugal(while is under spanish control) and adopting the name of Empire of Brazil, with the former portuguese colonies under it control, adopting the a new flag and coat of arms. A parlament is going to be elected and the capital is officialized as Rio, while several urbanistic reforms are made across the city to make it look like a little piece of Europe outside Europe. Considering it situation in South America, the goverment proposed an alliance with Gran Columbia, while sent a ultimatum to Uruguay demanding the country to join Brazil.

The border forts are inproved to Impregnablility near The IFTB navy of 100 wooden ships and 10 Ironclads, ambush the main french fleet that is stationed in the Channel. There is no algorithm for Naval war, the IFTB navy is the finest in the world, can I just call it a victory?
 * 1) No. You've been almost perpetually at war and you probably don't have the money due to your massive for project in Vancouver and your massive ironclads that are so big they can barely move.
 * 2) There is no such thing as impregnability
 * 3) This the the Channel. You think that you could ambush the French in that place? They know it equally as you and have their ships on the look out.

 * Brazil: The parliament approved the currency change from the former Portuguese Real to the Brazilian Cruzeiro, allowing brazilian culture simbols to appear in the currency instead of the portuguese ones. The urbanistic reforms in Rio make it look like a little piece of Europe, effectively granting it the nickname by the brazilian elite. The anti-slavery law is working, since the slavery use has fall from 90% to almost 20% since all slavery related activities in the rural part of the nation is being taxed. The profits of the taxes is used to incentivate industries grow across Rio and São Paulo. The army keep assaulting Paraguay, after the great victory in the first year, planing to annexate the country quickly. To incentivate the grow of the nation, the goverment approved the construction of a new port in Rio and a railway connecting Montevideo (Capital of Cisplatine) to Belém (Capital of Grão Pará) across the coast of the nation, passing by the most important cities, including Montevideo, Porto Alegre, Desterro, Curitiba, São Paulo, Santos, Rio de Janeiro, Vitória, Salvador, Aracaju, Recife, Natal, Fortaleza, São Luis and Belém. The work will not use slave labor, giving several jobs across the country. The works have already started in Cisplatine and the lines are almost reaching out of Cisplatine, but Montevideo Station is still under construction.
 * Austria-Hungary: Problems appear in the economy, because the irredentist government hasn't got any working economic program. The population is unhappy. To procrastinate the solving of the problems, new racist propaganda is started, this time against the Bohemians. Most of the newspapers stay censured and the army is moved to the Bohemian border. A new law is created by the government about the elections, but the opposition succesfully votes it down, because it would made the winnig of the elctions easier for the government party.
 * Moorish Al-Maghrib: Accepts the non-agression pact on the condition that we will receive our conquered land back. The army then moves to attack Mauretania. A small detatchment boards ships at Tarfya and attacks Liberia . This will have no real effect, but the army uses ruses to make it seem as if there is a much larger force present, forcing Liberia to divert most of its forces to defeat this invading "army". Construction on the railroad has halted, as the workers are now being used to build a railroad to Mauretania to transport troops and supplies there. A conscription program has begun, with all males aged 21 to 40 being eligible to join. To equip these soldiers, taxes are heightened from 20% to 27%. Though this increases public unrest, already strained by having to fight multiple wars, the king ignores it, choosing instead to attempt a swift victory against Mauretania and then include the motherland in the tax breaks for the defeated nation.

 * Nope, Im sending boats to explore the several river systems in the congo
 * Melanesia: Military reaches 48k soldiers and 33 battleships. Secretly Prepares for the invasion of East Indonesia seeing it as an easy way to gain some land and protectorate states. Continues to stabalize, increase economy and build infastructure. The Trans-Papau railroad is about 70% completed, and is planned to greatly contribute to the infastructure due to it allowing the bypass of jungle and mountain. Increases the amount of ferries in service, and plans for a ship the M.S. Jungle to be the flagship of the navy, this being a very large ship (equivalent of a proto-Bismark).
 * IFTB: The Military begins to recouperate after the huge war against France.

Revolts spread to Dutch Guina'''





Melanesia: Invades East Indonesia, and annexes some of the islands, but leaves the major ones partially independant, making Boreno and Suleiman protectorate states. Continues to build up the military which now reaches 45k soldiers and 35 battleships, and the Trans-Papau railroad is now almost 85% complete, and ferries begin going around newly taken islands.

Empire of Japan: Japan builds up its military and industrialisation continues.

IFTB: The Military continues to rearm and return to the state of power prior to the ill starred attack on France. The empire begins to return to the high levels of stability they had prior to the string of wars. Research into a rotary barreled rapid fire gun begins. (Gatling Gun). An alliance is offered with Melanesia, we will give them troops and ships, and in reurn they will allow us to Dock ships in their ports as a refuel and repair station. An alligance is offered with Australia, we will also give you troops and ships, and in return we can use Australia to rear cattle and sheep to eat across the Colonies.


 * Melanesia D: We accept


 * Australia D: We decline

Brazil: The nations start celebrating after Paraguay is fully conquered, and the nation proposed a alliance to Patagonia, and attempts to increase Brazillian influence over Patagonia. The costal railway keep progressing, while the nation start increasing its industrial potencial in the coast, as the railway reaches the main cities. The railway already reaches Rio, the capital, where is aclamed by the nobility and the Emperor himself. The nation proposed a agreement to Iberia, where Brazil would recognize the Iberian rule over Portugal and the Emperor would renounce the claim to the throne, while Iberia would train the Brazilian army to fit the tatics of Europe, to show their might against the enemies. Since slavery levels decreased to less then 10% of the used labor force, the parliament approved the law that ends slavery in the nation and forbids any transportation of slaves in the territories. The slaves that still were under that conditions will still be under its former lord employment, since the law forces the lord to hire its former slave as a formal worker in the plantations. The law make sure the slaves won't be under bad condition of live. The lord that don't wish to hire his former slave as worker must make him leave the nation, what acording to the goverment predition must decrease the black population between the population of the nation, pleasing the nobility. The urbanization project of Rio, that looks of a European city padron, is used in the major cities of the nation, all the capitals of the provinces. In order to make the stabillity in the Empire greater, the parliament approved the Colonization Act, where in conquered territories, to each 2 locals, must be 1 Brazilian or European imigrant living also. To increase the colonization and increase of agricultural activity, the goverment started making propaganda to European nations, of the great condition of life in Brazil, and the assured possibility of buying lands to cultivate or work in the opening factories, that open across the national capital and some provincials.
 * Patagonia D: We accept your alliance (btw Patagonia is currently stronger than you so you can't influence them very much if at all)



1859
'''Mod Event: The Gold Rush starts in Atarashi Hokkaido (10 years later than OTL), and they begin receiving immigrants from the Four Corners of the Earth, primarily Melanesia, Patagonia, Inca, Hudson, Zululand, Persia, Nigeria, Tunisiyyah, and Finland. 'Slavery ends in the America. Many German states including Prussia form an alliance to deal with possbile Austiria-Hungarian invasipn farther into German lands.'''






 * IFTB: The IFTB abolishes slavery, and continues to return the Military and Stability to its prewar state. State sponsored Gold Miners travel to Atarashi Hokkaido. The Gatling Gun is invented and put into production. The creation of an NHS begins after a left-wing Prime Minister is elected.
 * Empire of Japan: Japan builds up its military and industrialisation continues.
 * Melanesia: A facist is elected, who immediatly begins building up arms, making the military 50k soldiers and 40 battleships. The Trans-Papau Railroad is about done, and a smaller railroad is build on New Caledonia and Moloccus.
 * East Indonesia: Builds up coastal defences, begings building the Trans-Boreno Railway connecting Bintulu, Sarikei, Betong,Bandar Seri, Kuching, Permangkat, Singakwt, Ketapang, Sampit, Marta Pura, Belikpapan, Sawau, Lahad Datu, and Sandakhan.

France: Begins to strenghten its borders. The towns of Caen, Calais, Marseille, Bordeaux, Nice, Toulon, Dijon and Besancon are further fortified and act as an immovable barrier along the borders. The garrisons at Paris, Rouen, Amiens, St Omer, Metz, Lyon and Lille are strengthened by musketeers and cannon. The bridges across the Seine, Gironde and Ypres are either destroyed or militirised. All other crossings, such as fords, are made impassable. The navy begins recruiting and the building of five light ironclad destroyers begins, to add to the French navy's fleet of 50 warships, 20 heavy gun galleons, 10 light schooners, 5 frigates, 3 First Rate gunships, 15 clippers, 15 sloop-of-wars and 40 fireships. The first tracks for a new military railway are layed down. The line will transport troops and munitions from Montpellier-Lyon-Strasboufromrg-Paris-Calais-Caen-Bordeaux-Toulouse-Montpellier, stopping at various locations along the way. The line will be used at first to transport artillery from the port of Calais to Montpellier, from where it will be shipped down the coast to Perpignan. Here the guns will be transfered to road convoys before being distrubuted at the border forts in the Pyrenees. The French army starts a major recruitment campaign and 12,000 new troops arrive in the ranks. The army now numbers just under 350,000. Meanwhile, the rebellions in French provinces are put down after the French build new roads, schools, hospitals and housing in the areas. A parliament is fully established finally, and a new prime minister is elected: Jean 'D Farois of St. Tropez. The walls of the great city of Lille are strengthened and new garrison forts are built along the German border. Old castles are refurbished with modern guns overlooking the border with Belgium and towns, villages and cities on the Swiss and Italian borders are fortified. The naval base in Marseille starts launching patrols in the Mediterranean Sea. Any ship without a permit is sunk if it is in French territory, thus discouraging pirates, smugglers and illegal immigrants. Forts are built on the islands in the Gulf of Gascony to protect France from invasion and all major ports are ordered to have Blocking Chains across their entrances and cannon facing out to sea. 30 new ironclad heavy destroyers are ordered along with an experimental iron-clad heavy gun galleon. The army start work on a new gun called the Maximus (Farois) 300 machine gun. It is nicknamed the Maxim Machine Gun- the MMG. The name is in honour of the Prime Minister. The entire army is re-equiped with the new Lebel rifles, the aged, but unmatched Blunderbuss and hopefully the new Lee Endfield sniper rifles. All the army gunners are equipped with new 36-pounder cannons and the latest types of demi-cannon straight from the factories. They are also given the long ranged smoothbore 12-pounder Napolean and Griffen cannons (as are the new ironclads). The naval ships are given new variants of the Paixhans gun and the Carronade gun. The new infantry uniform looks a bit like the uniform used by the Dragoon Guards in America (although they can be easily recognised between the two, even in the heat of battle). However, instead of sky blue trousers like the Dragoons, they have white trousers, their coats are dark blue rather than black, their caps were straighter and more rigid, and the white sashes in a cross across the necks of every soldier were tighter and more orderly. They are now equipped with 1850. model infantry swords for close combat fighting, the above mentioned Lebel rifles and, for officers and those who can afford them, personally chosen pistols. Knucklledusters and 5' inch knives are also given to every soldier, ready for hand-to-hand compat. Currently, like the rest of Europe, soldiers have to pay for their kit. However, French soldiers, unlike everyone else, dont have to pay for horses, rifles or ammunition.


 * IFTB Amused Diplomacy: Who is that to protect from, it can't be us, we already have an area on the  Mainland, so what is the point, also we aren't going to attack we got mauled last time. Our Fleets (IFTB and French) can stop any Invasion force, so why waste your money? We offer an alliance.

France: Accept Alliance '''SORRY IM NEW. WHO ARE THE IFTB?'''

No. That makes no sense. Austria-Hungary: We re-annex Bohemia, which is divided into five regions. We allow the Bohemians to send 10 senators to the Senate. Elections are hold, which are lost by the irredentist, because they have no more promises. Most of the mandates are gained by the liberals. The Senate re-elects the president Lajos Kossuth, who accepts the offer. We organise an international conference in Vienna where we proclaim that we have no more territorial claims in the German territories. Our next goal is to bring the Central European nations closer together and try to end the wars in Europe. The infrastructure is improved, lots of foreign capitalists start enterprises in Austria-Hungary. Lots of money is invested into the economy by the state too. Kossuth's main political goal, he sais, to forge one peaceful nation form the Austrians, Bohemians, Hungarians, Croats and Slovaks. We offer a trade agreement to Prussia to make easier the trading of agricultural products and raw materials between the two country.

 * Prussian D (RNG):  We aceept

French Diplomacy: Asks for an alliance with Australia. They do not want anything from Australia except friendship and offer to lend them troops if they need them. They also ask to ally themselves with Melanesia under the terms that the French navy can establish a base there next to the IFTB one. The terms may be revised if needed. France also agrees with Austria-Hungary that Europe should bring themselves closer together. The French government warn Europe that they may face a threat from rising powers that were never recognised before as influential. It asks the countries of Europe to strengthen its borders against such an attack. It extends offers of freindship to Spain, Prussia and Sweden. It asks Zululand whether it would like to become a member of the French Empire and as such receive money, medical care and education as well as buisness and trading aid. It asks that Zululand replies as soon as is possible. French Diplomacy: Wishes to buy a copy of the blue-prints for the Gatling Gun from IFTB. Also asks for the design of the Lee Endfield Sniper Rifle and 1,000 of the rifles themselves for their snipers. Prices are negotiable.
 * Zululand D: 10000% DECLINE
 * Melanesian D: We decline

IFTB D: Sadly the blueprints are not for sale, but you can buy 1000 of the guns long as you don't try to reverse engineer them. We also offer a copy of the blueprints to the Gatling Gun as lo.g as you don't; sell or give them away (guns or Blueprints) you don't use them against us, and the price is 300,000 for the blueprints. Price negotiable.

French: Accecpt offer for price of 250,00

No

1860
'''Zululand begins modernizing at a excessive rate, and invades Nambia over a border dispute. In Melanesia patriotism is at a all-time high and developes the bonus Unified Oceania, similiar to Manifest Destiny (btw I'm making these "bonus" things check the world page for yours). Religious tensions rise in Horn of Africa with the Catholic rulers, the Miasphyte Ethiopians and the Sunni Somalians.'''



France: Fortifies the Channel coast. Le Havre, Dieppe and Bouloung-sur-Mer are strengthened with 1,000 men each. A huge network of tunneling is built between the strongholds along the coast so that troops can move unseen underground. In the event of capture the tunnels can be sealed, flooded and finally collapsed. A small train is built in the tunnels for high speed transportation. The recruitment programme that started last year brings in 50,000 men. The French Navy establish control over Western Mediteranean though the government decree that they will not go to war if another nation lays claim to the area. All the unclaimed area is immediately established as French and is patrolled by the five ironclad destroyers that have just been finished. Calais is strengthened by another 10,000 men, as is Marseille on the announcement that they are now the two main naval bases in France. The army now has 390,000 active troops and 400,000 reserves. A new regiment: The 1st French Expiditionary Force (1FEF) is launched. It is comprised of soldiers from foreign provinces under French control, such as Reunion. However, they are still not in training so they are not counted in the French army's manpower. The 2nd and 3rd FEFs are planned. The French send representives across the world to attract foreigners to the 2nd FEF.


 * If you tried that Mino would destroy you

OK

IFTB: Continues to improve Stability and Military. The Huge Ironclads are returmed to portsmouth and will arrive there next turn. The Navy Patrols the Channel and North sea. A recruitment drive across the Empire swells the ranks of the military to the same level as the French, incluing untrained troops.

Melanesia: Continues to build up the military, and due to rising patriotism the military surges to 65k troops and 48 battleships. An invasion for Polynesia is prepared in order to further unify the Pacific and Oceania. Tariffs on all imported goods are increased in order for things to be produced at home. Cotninues to moderize, increase stability, economy, infastructure and military. Empire of Japan: Japan builds up its military and industrialisation continues. With enough support in the parliament, Japan becomes a Constitutional Monarchy.
 * East Indonesia: Trans-Borneo Railrway reaches 15% completion.

French Diplomacy: Asks to become allies with Mino so they can work together against their common enemies.

French Diplomacy: Asks which countries would like to be allies with them. Please sign up for the

United_European_Alliance

(UEA), a new alliance for the nations of Europe on the talk page. Even Brittanica is welcome, as long as they keep away from the French.
 * IFTB: Accept, but only if we (IFTB) are the leading country, and France can be to.

UEA For now there are no leading nations. However, the Members who are on the council will be the most powerful. The council will be made up of 7 European nations, who must be in a reletively good position on the rankings. Superpowers are most likely to be elected for this as we do not wish them to turn on us. However, there are only 3 superpowers in Europe out of 7 places so the majority will not be superpowers. Although there are only 7 council nations, every country will have a representive and may vote on the constituition.
 * IFTB: So, are we definitely on the council?


 * UEA: Affirmative, however strict conditions apply- RULE 1: you may not use your position for personal gain, RULE 2: you may not be hostile to France for example whilst conducting UAE buisness as the UAE requires strict neutrality from its serving council members, RULE 3: You must donate larger amount of troops or munitions than other nations, RULE 4: you must bring any problems you or other nations have found in Europe to the council's attention IMMEDIATELY, no matter the consequences to you or your nation, RULE 5: DO NOT ABUSE YOUR POWER!!! Failure to comply with any of these rules may lead to a dismissal from your role or even to be banned temporarily/permenantly from the council.


 * IFTB affronted Dip: Don't call yourself the UEA when only France and the IFTB are in it, because the IFTB doesn't say that does it, it is only France so the entire UEA hasn't said that just you, also you violated your own RULE 2, as we have done NOTHING to suggest any hostility for several years. we accept, IF france must also agree, if not, we're out. Also, since when could one member of the council make a rule without consulting the others (us).
 * France Diplomacy: READ THE ARTICLE ON THE TALK PAGE. It states that a) all nations must adhere to the rules, b) the constituition (rules of governance and the rules) are subject to change, c) any nation can ask to change the constituition; the council members DO NOT have any more voting or political power than the other nations (they have more power in the sense that they are the representives of the others and that they are the biggest, strongest and most stable countries in the UEA, d) it is not the UEA officially until 5 nations are part of it and e) of course France must agree whic they do. Also, no council member has more power than an other.
 * IFTB D: You can't just make the 'constuition' after I posted, and then use it as an arguement, also, If it isn't officially the UEA why did you (france) say that what you had said without contacting any other nations, was the UEA.

French Diplomacy: Asks Spain for an alliance.

'''What is the current condition of Spain ownership wise? Also, do the French have more military power at sea and on land than them?'''

I think that spain is french, but I might be wrong

Can someone please put Spain on the world page and tell me for definite whether it is french ASAP

If you were to read the nation lists you would know Spain dosen't exist

Mino D: The warrior state of Mino wishes to join the UEA after watching France expand its army with great interest. It declares itself a personal ally with France and warns the IFTB not to insult them toooo much.

French Diplomacy: Agrees

IM REALLY SORRY BUT MY FRIEND WHO WAS PLAYING AS MINO JUST QUIT!

Thet Can't keep their current status as basically a threat of the French, that was purely because you and the mino plyer are ineds, but see what Daxus says

'''Mod Event: Nambian refugeese flee mostly to Atarashi Hokkaido and Thule (OTL Iceland), and with the current amount of African immigrants it breaks the camel's back, and a powerful tribal leader begins a genocide, with most other tribes in the region supporting him, while a few declare war on him to end it, and other cheifs from Scotts and Eire rush to Thule to stop the catastrophe. Inca and Patagonia finally split Bolivia. '''




 * Empire of Japan: Japan builds up its military and industrialisation continues.
 * Melanesia: Begins the invasion of Polynesia (ALG). Cotninues to moderize, increase stability, economy, infastructure and military.
 * East Indonesia: Trans-Borneo railroad reaches 25% completion.
 * French Diplomacy: Offers East Indonesia an alliance. Also we propose an alliance to the Moorish
 * Melanesian D: East Indonesia forcefully declines.
 * IFTB: Troops are sent into Thule and they find and execute the tribal Leader who is commiting such atrocities . The IFTB offers to have a French Embassy in Lundinium and a IFTB embassy in Paris, to prevent a war from claiming another generation. Fortification begins on the south coast, as the military vows that never again will Lundinium fall.
 * Various Tribal Lords D: We ask that you refrain from these conflicts, as vassals of the crown we would like to keep autonomy regarding internal and local affairs. Please lave us to deal with the situation.
 * Killing him would cause a massive upheavel and extreme instability in the region and would cause a full scale revolt by vasrious tribes.
 * France: The French agree to the embassy idea in order to prevent any future wars. 1,000 troops are sent as the ambassador's bodyguard in the nation of the Moorish. 5,000 more anchor off the coast just outside of Moorish waters, accompanied by the 5 ironclad destroyers as back up. This is because the ambassador has received death threats after he proposed an alliance with the Moorish and has had 3 attempts on his life in the last 6 months and must be protected "as a true French citezan".

IS SPAIN FRENCH TERRITORY? IF THERE IS NO REPLY BY NEXT TURN I WILL ASSUME IT IS AND ACT AS SUCH!

Mod Events: Many Brittanican tribal cheifs and elders demand that the governmant pull back their troops and leave these wars to the local tribes, as the ones attempting to aid the African migrants seem to be winning. '''In Africa, Zululand and Nambia come to a peace with revised borders. Religous tensions continue to rise in Horn of Africa.'''



Brazil: The goverment annouced that the brazilian coast railway already passes Natal, granting great connection of the brazilian coast and allowing better industrialization of the coastal cities. Industrialization reach european levels in Rio and São Paulo, reforcing the image of the nation as the South American potency. In seek of greater power, the goverment of Brazil proposed a personal union with Patagonia (Since is a republic), with the nation remaining as independent and having its own parliament but having as monarch the Emperor of Brazil (Like the British Commonwealth), what would make the alliance between Patagonia and Brazil unbreakble and allowing greater power in South America to both nations (and even allowing a possible Real Union in the future). Plantations in Center and North Brazil grow, allowing greater industrialization, with the use of rubber and coffee, together with sugar. The goverment keeps seeking a instructor to teach the army the European tactics, allowing the army to have not just number but quality training.


 * Patagonia D: We decline gracefully.

Empire of Japan: Japan builds up its military and industrialisation continues.

Melanesia: Cotninues to moderize, increase stability, economy, infastructure and military. Continues the invasion of Polynesia to Unify Oceania. Offers to form a bloc with Brazil, Morrish Al-Maghrib and Gran Colombia. IFTB: The Ironclad Behomoths arrive at portsmouth. The troops are returned to Brittanica, but modern guns are supplied to the aiding tribes. Private companies open negotiates with french private companies for the first time in decades, though the government run industries remain aloof. Another 4 Behomoths are under construction.
 * East Indonesia: Trans-Borneo railroad reaches 40% completion.

France: The French government propose sending instructors to Brazil in return for an alliance. Private companies begin trading with the IFTB although, like Brittania, the government run companies refuse to drop to such standards. Meanwhile, the army begins a new recruitment programme and the Expeditionary force recruitment closes although it is still recruiting. It is just no longer as well advertised or well spread because all of the government rescourses have turned to the new programme. The 1st EF now numbers 30,000 troops and the 2nd numbers 10,000. The 3rd will be used as a peacekeeper force, acting as police in France's foreign territory and as essential negotiators and soldiers that will be used neutrally to stop wars. The 3rd numbers 5,000 men. This brings the size of the army up to a strength of 380,000 active troops. The navy begins work on three huge ironclads to ALMOST match the size of the IFTB's Behomoths. They will be called the Invader class, to match the five ironclad destroyers in the Protector class. Work also begins on 5 new Defender class destroyers. These will essentially be slightly larger, heavier armoured versions of the Protector class, except for the fact they have a much higher fire power and can exceed the Protector class's top speed by 6.8 knots.

'''15 ships and 125,000 soldiers in one year? I don't think so. Reduce the numbers.'''

'''Now its 8 ships and much less troops. Is that okay?'''

Yeah, that'll work

1863


'''Mod Event: The Horn of Africa collapeses into Ethiopia and adal, and Dutch Guina becomes independant. With the help of the Brittanic governmant the tribes againt the genocidal one managed to bring peace and split a majority of Thule between themselves'''.

Empire of Japan: Japan builds up its military and industrialisation continues.

Melanesia: Annexes most of Polynesia, but keeps much of the far-eastern parts on the otherside of the Pacific autonomous and protectorates. Continues increase stability, economy, infastructure and military. Manages to get the first few gattling guns into production. Preperations are made for next years elections, the running candidates being Facists, Syndicalists, Republicans, and Technocrats.
 * East Indonesia: Trans-Borneo railroad reaches 55% completion.
 * East Polynesia: Begins a ferry service across islands, but due to the shear scale it is barely 20% finished by the end of the year.

France:

Troops begin to ready for war as the new recruitment programme starts. Every soldier is now equipped with a sword, a Lebel rifle and the new uniform. None of the old artillery is left in service; it has all been replaced by the new long range cannons. All of the ships in the Grand French Imperial Navy (GFIN) are overhauled and equipped with new guns and marines. The sails, ropes and anchor are replaced, as are the crews personal weapons. The deck planking in all of the wooden ships is ripped up and replaced by new boards. The wooden hulls are half taken apart and given new iron frames to support the wood. These ships are also given reinforced iron at the bows to prevent ramming and the gunpowder stores are encased in metal to prevent even direct hits on them from blowing up the ships. All ships commissioned before 1840 are decommissioned and replaced by new metal reinforced wooden ships, called the Vengeance class. Many of the ships are fitted with heavy iron and timber rams for melee battles. Huge caches of chain shot and cannon balls are transferred to the docks ready for loading, as are large quantities of gunpowder and artillery pieces. All of the ships are loaded with canister shot, grapeshot, shrapnel shot, spider shot and heated shot. The iron clads are completed and given a huge armoury of shells and incendaries. All of the naval ports in France are cordoned off against outsiders and curfews are put in place on the residents of these places. 20,000 more troops are recruited. The army now has a strength of 400,000 active troops. The government begins to patrol the acess channel of the Mediteranian and imposes moderate taxes on all merchant vessels passing through. This money will be used to fund the ever-growing armed forces. An order is placed for 5 more Protector class destroyers. The famous maritime designer Brutus_de_Villeroi is recruited (before he designs the first properly armed military submarine OTL) and begins designing a new kind of ship called the submarine.

I plan on starting a new turn soon so y'all might wanna post.

IFTB: Annoyed at France's feeble attempt to match the Naval Strength of the Mighty IFTB Navy, the Council (people in charge) comission a new class of ship, the Battle Cruiser. As fast as a destroyer and with as much firepower as a Battleship, they should be Lords of the sea, but the armour is either too weak, or to heavy, research begins on finding new materials to make armour out of. A company begins to experiment with Titanium. Industrial spies report of a new French idea, the 'submarine' and the IFTB's Naval Command is aflame with ideas. SECRET: They offer the designer twice the pay the French are giving him, and at the dead of night he flees to the IFTB embassy and is smuggled to Brittanica, along with all the designs he made for the French. He begins to work in a secret IFTB lab, and he is kept under constant guard, as the IFTB do not want the French to get him back.
 * Melanesian Secret D: Should war with France come we'll take care of their Indonesian land.
 * IFTB Open Dip: It won't come to that
 * IFTB Secret D: Thanks for that, but we doubt it will come to war it is just going to be an arms race. Which we are WINNING.

1864


'''Mod Event: America and Deseret go to war. In the Caucusus region Alania begins to revolt from both Russia and Persia, and aidded financially by Romania and Krimea. The Philippines, after years of harsh fighting manage to throw off their Iberian chains. Tensions rise between Tibet and China. First steps of German unification by Prussia begin.'''

Empire of Japan: Japan builds up its military and industrialisation continues.

France:  The French navy ship almost 200,000 troops to French Indonesia (which had a population of 19,000,000 at the time) as well as artillery, horses, munitions and arms. French Indonesia begins to recruit soldiers for its own army and is promised that it can become half-independant if it recruits over 2,500,000 able men. Although the enlisting is not compulsery, most men join up if they are allowed. This means that 2,000,000 men join up in French Indonesia (this is an accurate number according to expert historians and mathmaticians that i know and have asked- actually they said 5,000,000+ for mass conscription but mass conscription is not what is happening). They are equipped with as many Lebel rifles as can be made but since not everyone can be equipped as such about 300,000 of them are only equipped with swords and 500,000 are only equipped with old muskets that have not yet been scrapped due to administrational problems when Napolean died. France builds 120 new gunships which are basically long boats which can either be sailed or rowed with a small cannon at the front. They are about 12 meters long and have a crew of 10 including the guncrew. 200 Protector class destroyers are ordered which will eventually replace all of the Vengeance Class. A design for a submarine called the IFNS Romanus is started and a new class type is built upon: the Attack Cruiser. These will be huge, fast battle ships with a very high firepower. They will be in two types: Mark 1, the troop carrying version and Mark 2, the main warfare version. Their armour will be made of Titanium Rockwell 40. 300 are planned but only 3 are built this year. France succesfully invades Micronesia (this is actually a country) with 50,000 of the French troops stationed in French Indonesia which has a non-existant military and adds it to French Indonesia. To do this the French Navy bombards the coast and during the night landings are made on all of the islands. A naval base is constructed there. Do I need an Algorithm as France are garunteed to win. If so: ALGORITHM PLEASE. Secret: Privateers are sent into the Atlantic to disrupt American shipping.
 * WTF do you mean a "enslaved one"?
 * Is my correction ok? Im sorry if i didnt make the meaning clear.

Mino: The Minoan army, which is already made up of every able man in Mino (it uses foreigners and POWs(not paid) as labourers- they're paid not slaves). A new uniform is made. It is a grey tunic with a tough black cap and brass buttons. The uniform has a white sash across the chest and a white belt with a brass buckle. Officers wear a cap badge on their caps. We also start to invest in our cavalry and artillery.Minor invests in new Zeus Classes.The boat consists of a reinforced metal frame with a wooden hull and exterior. The boats are decked out with 90 cannons and has a crew of 250 men and a marine group of 20.The boats are to be named Hercules and Athena.The navy also has invested in 5 new Olympus class ships which are made with a wooden frame but in some areas metal plated. The boats are only 80 foot long and 10 foot wide but they are host to a unit of 20 commandos and a crew of 10 excluding a cook and captain. The vessel has 20 cannons 10 on each side. The boats are fast in moderate wind but ultra-fast in strong wind. The vessels are to be named the names of 5 deadly Greek monsters and beasts.General Annasis has formed a new elite commando force which specialise in sea warfare. The Minor army are now investing in a new artillery force which will be call Blitzfire meaning lightning fire in German and in the new Greek/Latin language (Minorish). The force will batter defences so foot soldiers can storm in. They prepare for war


 * Sorry, but in this Mino and the Kingdom of God are pretty friendly with eachother, also every man in Mino? That's impossible
 * Ok im sorry, im new and didnt know. please forgive me
 * It's cool. Whilst jumoing into another universe ignorance is easily forgiven
 * IFTB asks for an alliance


 * France Diplomacy: Asks for an alliance with Mino.


 * Mino D: Very well then, we do accept the alliance with France but you must help us or we will crush you with all of our immense might. We will forge an empire between us.


 * France Diplomacy:Although i like the IFTB and want to ally myself with them one-day, please dont ally with them in case the moderators start a war between us. You can later on but for now the moderators have forced me to hate Brittanica.


 * I ain't gonna force you guys into a war BTW


 * Mino D: Declines the alliance with IFTB but asks for a trade agreement. Also, who are the IFTB, I did not see them on the nations list


 * IFTB = Imperial Federation of Tribal Brittanicans = OTL UK

Melanesia: A technocratic lawyer is elected into office and he begins granting greater autonomy to tribes. The military reaches 100k soldiers and 55 battleships. Factories, schools, and hospitals now litter most cities, greatly increasing the standard of living. France Diplomacy: Asks for an alliance with the IFTB as the tension and hatred that once existed between the two nations all but disapears.
 * East Indonesia: Trans-Borneo Railroad reaches 70% completion
 * East Polynesia: The ferry service is working at 45% completion.
 * IFTB Dip: We accept, and we ask if this alliance could expand to a three power Alliance with France and Mino
 * Mino D: Ok but we really wish that it be known that Should there be a war between you and France (which won't happen) we would support France as we became allies with them first. Our country feels strongly about this as our most famous saying is: "first come, first serve!"

​IFTB: The IFTB judicial system crucifies the man who invented Edit Conflict. After the celebrations of his death have spread throughout the land, in a giddy fit of happiness, Ireland and Thule are given the same status as Greenland. The submarine is completed, as are the Titanium alloy below Rockwell 50 plated Battle Cruisers. 300 are commissioned, but only 5 are completed this turn. Research into Artillery and Cavalry begins. A steam powered Tank invented, and a prototype is made. SECRET: Privateers are sent into the Southern Atlantic to prey on the american shipping lanes. They have no flag, and are unidentifiable.
 * IFTB D: But they weren't the first, we were, we asked first

1865
Mod Event: In Eire and Thule, tribesmen and tribal lords become angry and confused ast to why they lost their statsu in Brittanica, and civil unrest becomes common in the already slightly destabalized Thule

Empire of Japan: Japan builds up its military and industrialisation continues.

France: All French troops and apparatus are withdrawn from Micronesia. This means that the Micronesian War comes to an end. A peace treaty is offered to Iberia (see below). 10 new Mark 2 Attack Cruisers are completed to replenish the losses in Micronesia. A massive recruitment plan sarts to repenish the French army of their losses of about 250,000 men. In five years time the French military is expected to be back at full strength. They have already recruited 20,000 men. 5 more Protector Class destroyers are built. France begins to design it's own submarines. '''Secret: Unmarked privateers are sent to prey on the Iberian Mediterranean shipping lanes and sink all ships heading to and from Iberia in this area. Hundreds of pirate ships and their crews are bribed and encouraged to attack any Iberian ships, merchant or navy. Raiders are hired to attack villages along the Portuguese coast and many of the coastal towns are destroyed by fire during these lightning raids. Assassins and known murderers are hired to kill any Iberian officers or MPs and highway men are paid to waylay any merchant convoys, burn the carts and slaughter the merchants. Spies in Madrid and other major Iberian cities, particularly ports, start fires in remote areas which quickly spread to remote areas. Insurgents start huge forest fires and dig up roads. Soldiers are bribed to bury gunpowder under the walls of any major bases in their area. Armed criminals, dressed as Iberian troops are paid to commit atrocities in public to turn general appeal against Iberia. Captured Iberian ships are used to attack Portuguese towns, turning the population against their masters. Unmarked fast schooners are sent to harass any Southern Iberian shipping and raiders are commissioned to attack Iberian coastal islands. None of the crimes can be traced back to France; the vessels are unmarked, the only flag they fly is the Iberian one and the mercenaries don't even know who is hiring them or where from. The criminals commit suicide before getting caught and most of the time they don't even speak French. French spies deliver the convoy plans to the pirates so that they can tell where all of the merchants are going. Because of these problems, none of the Iberian merchants are making any profit as they're ships are sunk at sea. The foreign merchants stop trading with Iberia because of the risks. Slowly but surely the Iberians will begin to starve. '''

France Diplomacy: To Iberia: You will pay 1/5 of all damages caused. We will pay the rest. We will withdraw all of our troops and stop shelling your towns if you release your hold on newly captured French lands like Sumatra
 * Iberia: We will agree to these terms, but we keep Timor and the Andamans.
 * It will take 5 years for you to get back to powerful, and Indonesia sure as hell won't be back to full strength in two years, also your losses were almost a quarter of a million men.

'IFTB: The IFTB is distressed that they miscalculated Thule's and Eire's reaction to the misguided gift of semi-autonomy, and it returns to control of them. Another 5 submarines are completed, and 10 Battle Cruisers. IFTB shuts the Gibraltar border with Iberia, and after a notable increase of raiders in the area, they begin to send a Battle Cruiser with every IFTB supply shipment to Gibraltar. The pirates begin to fear the very sight of the UNION JACK. As a result, all the pirates that prowl the straits of gibraltar are forced, payed by the french or not, to prey on the Iberians. SECRET: The IFTB does the same as the French with regards to the Iberians, but they have ships that look portuguese preying on Spanish Cities/Towns/Villages. This leads to both regions accusing each other of piracy against each other. IFTB troops are moved to Gibraltar, and just await the command to attack, if the need arises. NOT SECRET: IFTB sends ships to Melanasian ports, in accordance with the Treaty. These ships are ttoops ships, massing for the invasion of an undisclosed nation (not in Oceania) We offer to buy a 1000 square mile tract of land in Australia from the Government. Melanesia: Welcomes dislocated Micronesians who lost their homes in the French Invasion, though this angers many fascists. Slavery begins to be abolished, with several laws passed in favor of the slaves. Military reaches 120k and 60 battleships.
 * Submarines in 1865?
 * Yes, the first Military ones were invented in 1863 OTL and I have been researching into them a lot
 * East Indonesia: Trans-Borneo Railroad reaches 90% completion
 * East Polynesia: The ferry service is working at 60% completion.

1866
'''Mod Event: Due to the facist influence and large immigration from Indonesia and Micronesia hate crimes are committed against Micronesians and Indonesians in Melanesia. In Iberia the super power begins crackign down on crime, and piracy, and the governmant manages to end all pirate raids on coastal towns and most pirates, and highwaymen reduce signivicantly in numbers, while spies in Iberian uniforms are caught and executed under the slightest suspicion, but still remain for the most part. Adal and Ethiopia go to war in attempt to unify the Horn of Africa once more, and the Kingdom of God declares war on both in attempt to retake their former colonies. France hits a defecit (-1 economy) due to mass military spending and paying of bandits/pirates.'''



Empire of Japan: Japan builds up its military industrialisation continues, and infrastructure is improved. Sapporo is established in Hokkaido as a town.

Melanesia: Begins to pass laws to reduce hate crimes, and claims that Indonesians, Polynesians, Micronesians, and Melanesians are all Oceanic and so it should not matter. Military continues to increase to 130k soldiers and 65 battleships. First Melanesian gattling guns are made, and reasearch begins to go into submarines. France: Sends a fleet to double cross the pirates and steal the paid gold back. Taxes are raised but not  enough for any public concern. '''SECRET: Many old naval ships are decommisioned, repainted and have their flags and any other identification such as names ripped off. They are renamed as privateers and given free to the privateers in exchange to 43% of annual profits. Every ship is taken within a month. 2 fast Protector Class destroyers are released into American shipping lanes to prey on wary ships. None of the crew of the unfortunate ships are left alive so no news of hostile ships is circulated in the area. They are just put down by American port authorities as 'lost at sea, presumably sunk with all hands by freak weather'. Nobody notices that the ships, with everything (ropes, sails and all except the mast and the planking) stripped from them, end up in French shipyards under different names and are given to privateers (same condition as above).''' 5 more Mark 2 Attack Cruisers arrive, along with 5 Protector Class destroyers. The new-found ship building industry becomes world famous and starts making France rich as more and more merchants pour into France to buy the world-class ships. More and more immagrants turn to it as a source of work and soon it is one of the biggest industries in France. The ships are some of the finest made in Europe and soon many of the world's navy's are buying them. Because they are also accurately priced they become the international merchant's favourite ships. Many French companies start cruise holidays across the Mediteraniean and even more tourists flood into France. The pay for the French army goes slightly up, enough to make a difference to the soldier being paid, but not enough for it to matter to France's recovering economy. Hundreds more flock to join the Imperial Republican Army from all across Europe. An increase of German and African men being recruited is plain to see. France welcomes the immagrants with open arms. French Indonesia's tourist income is boosted after European advertising campaigns for it as a holiday destination spread across the world. Almost 40% of the Oceanic trade industry are now using it as a base due to its relatively low taxes. Because so many are paying these taxes, the government dont lose money but instead find an increase in profits by 20% in that part of the world. France stops paying the Iberian criminals. SECRET:The French garrison at Irongate (the pass into Iberia) is upped to 2,000 men. Cannons are positioned facing into the pass. The pass can not be climbed into as it is surrounded by sheer rock and ice and as such is unclimable. Garrison buildings are hollowed into the rockface to accomodate up to 5,000 men. Further barracks are built at the French entrance to the pass. In total these barracks can hold up to 60,000 men and munitions as well as a huge amount of artillery weapons and cavalry horses. It is estimated that France will recover in 4 years. Secret 3: A French spy is sent to America and offers a deal to engineer Horace Lawson Hunley. He immediately comes and works for France to design submarines. As the best under-water submersible designer in the world between 1860-1880 OTL he rises to the challenge. He is so dedicated to his work, not money that no amount of money will sway him from working for the French once he starts. He starts work immediately in a high-security top secret location where no-one can get to him. His plans are locked away in hidden locations. His whereabouts and the plan's locations are known only to Hunley (the plans) and Major-General Bessington Bonaparte-Wilhelm, the head of the new French Secret Service (Hunley's location). Hunley's 30 bodyguards and the location's guards where blindfolded during the journey to get there as was Hunley, and the drivers who took them there where secretly shot. (OTL: his submarine was the first to ever sink a hostile ship). Julius Hermann Kröhl was also sneaked across the Atlantic at the same time to the same location where the two pioneers work together with the same studious principles as above. Mino: Secret: Does the same as the IFTB to Iberia. Begins a joint operation with France to fortify a secret pass through the Pyrenees Mountains. A network of tunnels is built to keep the border troops undercover and battlements are built on either side of the pass so that gunmen can fire down. Cannons are placed at the Iberian side of the tunnel in hidden locations. Heavy metal gates are placed at either end which can withstand up to 6 cannons for 3 hours. They are also placed at 3 strategic positions along the pass between strong stone towers. The Minoan garrison there is 1,000 men.
 * East Indonesia: Trans-Borneo Railroad is completed, and begins the Trans-Sulawesi railraod that reaches 25% competion.
 * East Polynesia: The ferry service is working at 80% completion.
 * Mino D: Wishes to make France its naval supplier and to buy 6 Protector Class destroyer and 1 Mark 1 Attack Cruiser from them. Also wishes to buy 3 IFTB Battle Cruisers. Pays for the French fortification of French Indonesia. Wishes to buy 500 square miles of India for training in the climate there. Price is negotiable as is size.
 * Mino would never do that for extremely obvious reasons.


 *  France Diplomacy:   Sells the ships to Mino for extortionate prices due to the current financial crisis. Also agrees to become Mino's supplier. These commisions boost the French shipbuilding industry hugely. The time it will take for France to recover is greatly shortened, if not in months then in years. The new estimate of recovery time is 3.5 years.
 * IFTB: We will sell you the 3 ships, at around 125% of the cost of construction, and we offer to supply Mino with ships, because, to put it bluntly, France's shipbuilding industry is inferior, and you seem to be just giving them everything, which is so implausable. Also they are in an economic hole so where will they get the resources? They can't get them for free. That isn't how the world works. Also, the ships I am selling you are not dependent on you sayimng yes by the way. We also have the best shipbuilding industry in the world. We will also have submarines in a year.

So frankly, you are being incredibly rude, and are woefully underinformed.
 * M ino D:  Can you please stop putting your posts before France's. I'm pretty sure you did it on purpose this time to make it look like you posted first. It is totally unfair and it really annoys me. I checked so I know France got there first. Also, as allies in a trade agreement we probably supplied the metal to them years ago. Or do they have to post every single time a convoy, hundreds of which are sent are year, loads its cargo? Anyway, we are allies with France and, unlike some, wish to help their fellow nations and boost their economy. It could certainly help us in the future. What have you done to help them, except invade? Nothing. You could argue they haven't done anything for you. But they are way not as powerful and suffering a financial crisis so how could they. If I were you I'd put a lot more money into starting a war between Iberia and Portugal. It would certainly be useful. On a different note, you say that France's shipbuilding is inferior. Has anyone ever said that? No! Maybe it was true OTL but this isn't OTL and you are not the one who spent most of a turn building up the shipbuilding industry.
 * 1) I put it under your post as you are SUPPOSED to and he didn't, and if someone doesn't bulletpoint, how am I supposed to know it is Diplomacy
 * 2) Read earlier posts, I spent the first turn or so building up my ships, and he is in an economic hole, also, I have been building up my shipbuilding at a constant rate for two or three years, just because I don't do it all in one turn doesn't mean I'm not doing it
 * 3) He charged you for the ships, in his own words 'extortionate' prices, so why would you give him the stuff for free and if you don't mention that trade begins at least, how does anyone know that you did, it would be like if I suddenly announced that I had been doing something all game without telling anyone.
 * 4) I am helping, just because I don't blindly rush into things without preparing first doesn't mean I'm not, why else do you think I am massing troops in Gibraltar.

IFTB: Brunel is rerouted from the work he was doing to work with the Americans on submarines as we are ALLIED with the French, and we request that the French stop being so secretive, as their secret service is riddled with IFTB agents. We deliver Brunel and the French Defector directly to the 'secret location' that they mentioned, as the agents within France's secret service informed us directly of the Coordinates. We suggest that we drop this rivalry, as we are allies. We offer the French the blueprints to mark 1 battle cruisers. we commission mark 2 battle cruisers, which are slightly better in every sense. We send 5000 troops to Irongate, and 50 cannons also.We take on look at the Minoan fortifications,and build a far stronger line behind, with a Stone gate 2 metres thick, lifts up, taking 5 mins to go up and next to non to go down (gravity).

No infriltrators. I will explain later

tough sh*t I have infiltrators, and i don't want you trying to pull any murderous cr*p on me again

France Secret Diplomacy: We (IFTB, Mino, France) will all work together at our top secret Facility which is called the Magnum Complex. We will all provide our best engineers, artists, architechts, scientists, designers and builders to make revolutionary ideas, starting with the submarine. We accept the blueprints.

! scope="col"|Mino ! scope="col"|
 * IFTB Secret Dip: The sub will be complete by next turn with IFTB alone, do you want to make it is the Magnum Complex or should we just give you the Blueprints? Also, is the Magnum Complex in France, if so I propose it is relocated to somewhere more neutral between the Countries, as there is no way I am giving IFTB scientists to a French run Lab, I suggest the Irongate complex, as we all own that

'''Mod event: 'The USA annexes Deseret, Atarashi Hokkaido 'invades Oregon, and Karavikas invades the Maya, and despite warm relations and alliances in the past, tensions rise o the continent. Tourism in French Indonesia is a complete fail as all the massive civil unrest, mass graves, and deserted villages for some reason do not appeal to tourists. In Melanesia the people calm down slightly in terms of racism.  A tsunami hits Hawaii, though it causes only mild damage (mild for a tsunami).'''
