Almost 2 (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.

 * Mod #2 ( Probation until 1910 ): Local Mafia Boss (Talk) (Blog)
 * Mod #3 (UNAPPROVED):

Would-be mods need to have already been a ordinary player in at least 1 map game in order to have sufficient experience to do their job properly.

Rules

 * Plausibility is essential
 * No sockpuppeting
 * 1 State per player
 * Turns will be 1 year per turn; this is subject to change.
 * Technologically speaking a country may only be about 1-5 years ahead of time OTL.
 * Technologies after the modern days must remain plausible. I don't want to see robots fighting clones in 2025.
 * Mod word is law.
 * All posts must be re-read at least 1 time for grammar before posting.


 * Should grammar be consistently horrendously bad for 10 turns (total) the player can be removed.
 * Wars go here
 * No colonies on other planets until at least 2030.
 * To make a country a satellite state or "vassal" you must have had positive relations with them for at least 10 turns. You must then spend considerable amounts of money on foreign aid to this country for at least 5 years afterward.
 * The map must be updated at least every 5 turns at least. Should the turns without a new map exceed 5 a player may upload a new map.
 * A rebellion gets an algo if it is not put down succesfully after 3 turns.

Europe

 * Celtic Brythonians managed to hold back the Anglo-Saxons, and Brittanian remained largely Celtic.
 * Vikings never discovered Iceland and the Irish monk colony their succeeded, causing Iceland rename as Thule with a Celtic population.
 * Napoleon's brother remained in control of Spain and conquered Portugal, who's royal family fled to Brazil. This would result in the collapse of the Portuguese Empire and cause most of their colonies to declare independence, except for Timor which was later seized by Iberia, and Macau which was returned to China.
 * Belgium never revolted from the Netherlands.
 * Italy was never properly united.
 * The Baltic peoples were far more united under Lithuanian culture, and manged to repel many of the later German and Russian invasions.
 * After the Battle of Tours, King Charles the Hammer with greater help from Christian Frankish and Germanic tribes managed to drive the Umayyads out of Hispania, and all the way to North Africa where the Christian Kingdom of Mauritaunia was then set up. Other parts of Christian North Africa were eventually lost.
 * The 3rd Crusade was far more successful, as the Emperor of the Holy Roman Empire did not drown, and the King of France didn't get sick, allowing them as well as the King of Mauritania (Morocco) to accompany King Richard the Lionheard. This allowed the Christians to retake much the Levant and keep a hold of it. These counties in the Holy Land later formed Greater Jerusalem.
 * Byzantium was never renamed Constantinople, and therefore never became Istanbul.
 * Britain remained predominantly Catholic, along with Ireland, but not Iceland.
 * Poland is a war-torn region fulled of proxy-wars between the German Empire, Russian Empire, and Kingdom of Lithuania.
 * Norwegian and Swedish culture never divereged, remaining Norse. The Finnish were later Norsized. These factors allowed for Scandinavia to stay united.
 * The Ottomans had better luck in converting the Georgians.
 * Micheal the Brave of Wallachia was not murdered in 1600 rather he died of natural causes much later, his son then ascended the throne and managed to hold the three principalities of Romania together. Because of this Romania in fully united under one king.
 * The Spanish and Portuguese converted to Protestantism.

Asia

 * The Buddhist Uesegi clan unified Japan. This resulted in more widespread Buddhism over Shintoism in Japan.
 * Japan and Russia began the Japanese-Russian War earlier, and ended in 1898
 * After the fall of the Persian Empire, many Zoroastrians fled to Central Asia rather than India, producing predominantly Zoroastrian-Shamanist cultures amongs the Central Asians.
 * The Ottomans never assasinated all their Janissaries, allowing for them to retain a greater amount of power.
 * Sikhism was more predominant in Northwest India up to Kashmir, effectivley creating a wall between Hindus and Muslims, allowing India to remain more predominantly Hindu.
 * The Ottomans were stopped mostly past Anatolia by united Slavic forces.
 * The Taungoo managed to resist European conquest after allying with Siam.
 * The stronger-than-OTL Ottomans and Persian sset aside their diffirences and allied againt Europeans. Joined later by the Turkmen Federation they were able to resist the British and Russians.
 * The Chinese were less succesful in repelling European incursions.
 * The Brittanians were forced to share India with France, Germany, and Scandinavia

Americas

 * Alaska and much of Western Canada was colonzied by Russia
 * Venezueala and Panama remained part of Gran Colombia, Ecuador didn't.
 * The Moors colonized most of the Caribbean.
 * The Aztecs managed to survive as a protectorate country under the Spanish, this allowed for them to retain greater parts of their culture.
 * Netherlands colonzied all of Guinea.
 * Many Native American tribes in the Appalachians united into a confederation, and managed to secure s sizable amount of land for themselves to keep from the colonists.
 * Empire of Brittania colonized Greenland and most of Canada, whereas France would end up colonizing most of OTL USA over to California (Which later became independant of Louisianne).
 * The Mormons managed to set up a succesful colony in Deseret.
 * Panama Canal still happened, but Gran Colombia did it.

Oceania

 * Portugal colonized Tasmania.
 * The Netherlands colonized New Ze e land
 * Melanesia was almost colonzied by Brittanica.
 * Indonesia was divided more amongst the Europeans.
 * Mauritania colonized the Solomon Islands.

Africa

 * Portugal colonzied Madagascar.
 * Shaka Zulu was never born, and as a result Afrikaaners are more predominant in South Africa, and make up about 35% of the population (OTL 15%). The British also were unable to defeat the Boers.
 * After the collapse of the Umayyads and conquest by King Charles the Hammer the Morrocans/Mauritaunians were Christianized, and resulted in a mix of Berber and Western European culture. They were later considered Western and became a minor colonial-power.
 * Liberia would become an international colony to send free-slaves. Its name would also be Liberia instead of Sierra Leone because why not.
 * The Suez canal was created by Greater Jerusalem, with the help of the Brittanians who helped them secure Sinai from the Ottomans.

Game
Let the game begin

1900
 Americas   Africa   Europe   Asia/Oceania 
 * The Mormon State of Deseret elects a new leader.
 * In the Berber-speaking Caribbean states of Hajadara and Ghuba tensions rise as disputes over contested islands in the Bahamas heats up.
 * Madagascar manages to finish the last stages of its transition from a state controlled by Portuguese-speaking elite to a state controlled by the people, unlike most other post-Portuguese states in Africa.
 * The 5th anniversary of the end of the 2nd West-East Polish War won by West Poland is celebrated.
 * North Poland manages to make ahead-of-time progress in rebuilding after a devastating war with East Poland some 10 years ago.
 * The first zeppelin flight is carried out over Lake Constance near Friedrichshafen, Germany.
 * A group favoring Kamatchkan nationalism and greater independence from Japan's influence.
 * Tasmania offers to renew a trade deal with Britannia


 * Brazil: The Emperor inspects the road network of Brazil, and it is found wanting. Work begins on repairing the roads, and building new roads. This creates jobs for the unemployed in Brazil, and has the two-fold affect of both beginning the repairs of our great nation, and also of injecting much needed funds into the economy, as people have more loose money, so spend more freely, improving the economy. We offer a trade deal with Britannia, where they give us technology, in exchange for the raw resources of Brazil. The Army is trained more, but the Emperor infiltrates it with spies, to report back on any dissent within the military. Propaganda plays up the excellence of the Emperor. We begin to create a more Constitutional Monarchical System, and the position of President is created.
 * Ottoman Empire: Abdul Hamid starts to increase his military and navy. More ships are being built for the navy. New roads the connect every part of the empire is starting to be made. This makes jobs for the unemployed people of the nation. Oil rigs are being set up to extract oil from the ground. Factories are mass producing military and navy stuff.
 * Kingdom of Lithuania:  The king, Casmir the X, begins the century by beginning to build several large rail-lines throughout Lithuania. A large rail depot is positioned just south of St. Petersburg on the Lithuanian side of the border. The national infrastructure improves quickly as thousands of laborers are employed on the projects. A national census is held, the Population of Lithuania stands at roughly: 21,293,000. Assistance is sent to support North Poland. A secret NAP is offered to Germany, which will also include West and North Poland.”
 * North Poland:We continue to recover from the war, making excellent speed due to Lithuanian assistance. Many of our damaged cities and roads have been repaired, however it will be another 5 years until we reach pre-war levels of infrastructure.
 * Britannia: accepts proposed Tasmanian trade deal. The current leader King Danny I died with his son Prince Arthur (In Gaelic Arta) taking over. Talk are also being requested with the Dutch about Biafra. In the entire empire a census of how many men for war there is; how many women and children and how many men in total. The average daily earnings were also recorded and the information has been declared confidential until fifty years from now.
 * Britannia Nigeria: an push into northern Nigeria by the British Army allow Catholics to gain the stronger arm in the protectorate up north.
 * Netherland Dip: The Dutch will accept talks with the Britannic.
 * California: With the Aztecs to the South, Deseret to the East and Acadia to the North, California is surrounded by possible threats. Seeing Acadia as the most hostile, we propose to Deseret and Appalachia (mod response needed) The Alliance of the Rio Grande, as well as offering the Aztecs an NAP. We update our military, focusing on a navy that can protect California's coastal waters. Infrastructure is worked over as well. In an effort to boost the economy, we offer the Empire of Brazil a trade agreement.
 * Appalachia (MOD): We accept the alliance offer.
 * Aztec Empire: With the culture of Aztecs remaining, their only aspect dropped was religion, embracing christianity allowed Spain to keep from a slaughter. The Emperor, Emperor Cuahtemoc XIX, is excited to take the throne. As the Empire begins to gets its footing, it is a huge producer of chocolate and retained much of its gold making it quite profitable. The military is upgraded and expanded. With a deep seated rivalry between the Aztecs and Mayans, the Aztecs mobilize the military along the borders. We accept the NAP request from the great republic of California. We offer them trading prosperities. The emperor begins assesing the lines which are to be drawn in the sand; and which kingdoms stand where in the sand. If the Californians wish to remain an NAP, so be it, the Emperor will happily look else where. Much Spanish-Azteca culture is influenced in architecture as the two kingdoms became quick friends with the lack of hostility. As the Aztecs only wished to learn, they were able to befriend the spainsh, they adopted much of their culture, although continued to implement their own. Elite squadrons are created and partition the military into organized groups. The elite unit will be the Panther Elite, followed by the brute special forces, the Jaguar Elite. Juan de Crosdios is allowing the Aztec to begin learning more from the Spanish military in return for gold, and other european technologies which might balance the Aztecs against other rising nations. Also have the upperhand against these still not-so-hostile-yet Mayans.
 * Cali Dip: California accepts the trade offer.
 * Maritaunian Empire: The military is expanded and modernized to bring it up and to be more on-par with our European counter-parts, and the Emporer decides the best wy to take this would be by focusing on our navy, and we begin building several modern battleships. Troops are deployed not to far from much of the French border as precaution. The Trans-Maghreb Railway begins to near the last phases of its construction, branching out to some of the most isolated oasis in the country.
 * Mauritanian Socotra:  The island begins to be almost completely revamped, as many infastructural projects are underwent and the islands begins to be made into a formidable naval base.
 * Mauritanian Solomon Islands: The islands begins to be almost completely revamped, as many infastructural projects are underwent and the islands begins to be made into a formidable naval base. A cheap ferry system is set up to connect the islands more completely, and focus on making San Cristobol into a metropolitan and industrial island.
 * Maritaunian D: We offer an alliance to Milan and Germany. We offer a trade-deal to the Aztecs.
 * Japan: Japan begins to build up its military and puts some funding in technology. Some more Buddhist Temples are built. Japan gives Kamchatka more autonomy, but keeps a closer eye on them. Prime Minister Yamagata Aritomo is elected for a second term.
 * Netherlands: In 1900, we improve upon our military and economy. Wilhelm IV rules, and is married to Charlotte of Belgium. Other than being King of the Netherlands, Wilhelm IV is King of Belgium, New Zeeland, and Indonesia, as well as Prince of Nigeria, Biafra, and Somalia. The country does well this year, growing in population. The Estates General function well this year. An alliance is requested of France and Germany. A royal marriage offer is sent to France, offering Wilhelm's daughter, Ameliè, to any French prince. Talks are accepted with Britannia. 
 * Biafra: We improve upon our military and economy.
 * Guinea: We improve upon our military and economy.
 * Indonesia: We improve upon our military and economy.
 * New Zeeland: We improve upon our military and economy.
 * Somalia: We improve upon our military and economy.
 * That bit of Netherlands in Nigeria is Biafra. Also, the Netherlands is a Republic Kurt Cobain&#39;s Haircut (talk)
 * Deseret: We raise the taxes on those who dont follow the LDS church.  All healthy mormons age 20 are called to military service for a minimum of 5 years, and paying more to those who stay longer. The country begins a population growth. A small apache uprising is put down by the military. Natives are pressured to convert to mormonisim. Some mormons begin to move into cities, seeing more opprotunity than agriculture.
 * German Empire: We celebrate the first succesful flight of the zepplelin. We start doing daily zepplelin rides from country to country and start selling them to other countries. We accept the NAP from the Kingdom of Lithuania and ask for an alliance. We emprove our navy and industry and allow LDS missonaries to each our people as long as they don't cause trouble.
 *  German Ceylon: We improve our army and send supplies to the mainland.
 *  German Naimbia: We improve our army and send supplies to the mainland.

 *  German Cameroons: We improve our navy and supplies to the mainland.

 * Balangiga massacre: Filipino guerrillas kill more than forty Iberian soldiers in a surprise attack in the town of Balangiga on Samar Island.

 * Guglielmo Marconi receives the first trans-Atlantic radio signal, sent from Poldhu in England to Newfoundland, Canadica; it is the letter "S" in Morse.
 * Washington Luís of the Worker's Party of Brazil is elected President of Brazil.
 * Ottoman Empire: Abdul Hamid continues to increase his military and navy. More ships are being built for the navy. New roads the connect every part of the empire is starting to be made. This makes jobs for the unemployed people of the nation. Oil rigs are extracting oil from the ground. Factories are mass producing military and navy stuff. We ask Germany and Russia for an alliance.
 * Russian D (MOD): We decline
 * Brazil: Roads continue to be repaired and created, and more railroads are created. This creates jobs for the unemployed in Brazil, and has the two-fold affect of both beginning the repairs of our great nation, and also of injecting much needed funds into the economy, as people have more loose money, so spend more freely, improving the economy. We offer a trade deal with Britannia, where they give us technology, in exchange for the raw resources of Brazil. The Army is trained more, but the Emperor infiltrates it with spies, to report back on any dissent within the military. Propaganda plays up the excellence of the Emperor. The first President is elected, Washington Luís. The President appoints various members of the Workers' Party of Brazil - the winning party - to ministerial positions. The Minister for Industry is aghast to discover that Brazil imports Iron, as it cannot process the iron mined here, and sets to work creating Factories where Iron can be processed into Steel, and Iron Ore can be smelted. Other Minerals we mine are also processed. We create a state-run processing system, and the cities that benefit from it, Belo Horizonte and Rio De Janero, the unemployed percentage is reduced, as many begin to work in the Factories, or at the docks. Plantations continue to grow throughout the interior, although more workers are moving to industrial jobs in the cities. We begin to increase worker rights, and this lowers the number of deaths in the plantations. Work begins on creating Tractors and Combine Harvesters, to make the Plantations more efficient. Some Petrol Tractors are imported from abroad, and the Government sets up "Brazilian Farm Equipment Co." to manufacture Tractors and other farming equipment for Brazilian Plantations, and hope to export them throughout South America and other areas where there are Plantations, as they are specifically designed for working in Humid Conditions, and working on large Plantations, where there are natural obstacles, such as steep slopes, and irrigation ditches, as opposed to the equipment designed in North America and Europe, which is aimed more at Farmland, and Fields, rather than vast plantation. We begin to influence Uruguay and Paraguay. We accept the Californian Trade Deal


 * Japan: Japan begins to build up its military and puts some funding in technology. Some more Buddhist Temples are built. Plans to build a auto racing circuit are made.

 * Scandinavian D (RNG): We decline
 * German Empire: The assasination attempt made on Wilhelm II fails, and the person who attempted to kill Wilhelm II is found and executed. We celebrate the turning of the 20th century by having a parade from Berlin to Frankfurt. King Wilhelm II is on a float and waves to the crowd and says, "Another succesful century of the German people." Zepplelins follow him, and the crowd awes and shout hoorays. We improve our military/army and economy and ask for a military alliance with the Kingdom of Lithuania. We accept the alliance from the Kingdom of the Netherlands.

 * Mauritanian Socotra: The islands military upgrades continue to be built and a dispatch of cruisers is sent to reinforce what is arleady there.

The national infrastructure improves quickly as thousands of laborers are employed on the projects. Road connecting the country are also established, meanwhile assistance is sent to North Poland. A Non-Aggression Pact proposal is sent to Scandinavia, in lieu of their rejection.

We offer a trade deal with Britannia, where they give us technology, in exchange for the raw resources of Brazil. The Army is trained more, but the Emperor infiltrates it with spies, to report back on any dissent within the military. The Monarchist Sect is infiltrated, but instead of creating martyrs, the government appoints them as official bodyguards to the Emperor, away from the rest of the Army. The role is purely symbolic, but it seems to satisfy. Propaganda plays up the excellence of the Emperor. The first President is elected, Washington Luís. The President appoints various members of the Workers' Party of Brazil - the winning party - to ministerial positions. The Minister for Industry is aghast to discover that Brazil imports Iron, as it cannot process the iron mined here, and sets to work creating Factories where Iron can be processed into Steel, and Iron Ore can be smelted. Other Minerals we mine are also processed. We create a state-run processing system, and the cities that benefit from it, Belo Horizonte and Rio De Janero, the unemployed percentage is reduced, as many begin to work in the Factories, or at the docks. Plantations continue to grow throughout the interior, although more workers are moving to industrial jobs in the cities. We begin to increase worker rights, and this lowers the number of deaths in the plantations. Work begins on creating Tractors and Combine Harvesters, to make the Plantations more efficient. Some Petrol Tractors are imported from abroad, and the Government sets up "Brazilian Farm Equipment Co." to manufacture Tractors and other farming equipment for Brazilian Plantations, and hope to export them throughout South America and other areas where there are Plantations, as they are specifically designed for working in Humid Conditions, and working on large Plantations, where there are natural obstacles, such as steep slopes, and irrigation ditches, as opposed to the equipment designed in North America and Europe, which is aimed more at Farmland, and Fields, rather than vast plantation. We begin to influence Uruguay and Paraguay. We accept the Californian Trade Deal.

Plantations continue to grow throughout the interior, although more workers are moving to industrial jobs in the cities. We begin to increase worker rights, and this lowers the number of deaths in the plantations. Work begins on creating Tractors and Combine Harvesters, to make the Plantations more efficient. Some Petrol Tractors are imported from abroad, and the Government sets up "Brazilian Farm Equipment Co." to manufacture Tractors and other farming equipment for Brazilian Plantations, and hope to export them throughout South America and other areas where there are Plantations, as they are specifically designed for working in Humid Conditions, and working on large Plantations, where there are natural obstacles, such as steep slopes, and irrigation ditches, as opposed to the equipment designed in North America and Europe, which is aimed more at Farmland, and Fields, rather than vast plantation. We begin to create a Merchant Fleet, which sails from Rio de Janeiro. Rainforest Wood is exported around the world. Hearing of the Wright Brothers success, we send several Brazilian Scientists to study their plane, and try to duplicate it. We send money to the Wright Brothers in payment for this.
 * German Diplomacy: We accept Gran Colombia's request for an alliance.
 * Occidentia: We begin research planes after the Wright Brothers take off, and request trade with Brazil and Calforina. Deseret is offered a military alliance.

 * The Empire of Scandinavia, under Emperor Friedrich Ferdinand Oldenburg begins to seriously focus on strong economic expansion and development. Major cities such as Copenhagen, Oslo, Stockholm, and Helsinki are developed and planning to created effective transportation throughout the entire empire is made. This is in light of the recent advent of the automobile and perceived need for more roadways. Manufacturing really picks up, as does oil mining near Norway. Friedrich also skillfully arranges the marriage of his eldest son, Wilhelm Friedrich to Queen Tatianna Jagiello II, the young queen of Lithuania. The two nations are locked into a future personal union. Friedrich also begins to investigate how to best go about enlarging the power of the Scandinavian Thing. The military is increased with a large temporary raise in pay. Once the army is up to full size, the army, under Marshal Harald Angussen marches into the Russian Empire from Finland and is defeated takes St. Petersburg after an extended siege. Meanwhile, we siege the coastline along the Arctic Sea and all of the Russian island from our navy stationed in Svalbard.'''
 * Scandinavian Somalia and Scandinavian Arabia see a good deal of investment from the homeland, and active missionary presence helps convert many to Protestant Christianity. Our settlers continue to lead the governments in both nations, but locals have a great deal of autonomy and self-rule. The military preparations in both areas are increased in case of uprising or attack.
 * Scandinavian Indonesia continues to create a good deal of wealth for the homeland. The population is about 50% Indonesian and 50% Scandinavian settlers, and they petition for creation of a stronger Folksthing, which is granted by Emperor Friedrich Ferdinand.
 * You're not at war and 50% European settlers in Indonesia is waay to high Kurt Cobain&#39;s Haircut (talk)

 * Ottoman Empire: Abdul Hamid continues to increase his military and navy. More ships are being built for the navy. New roads the connect every part of the empire is starting to be made. This makes jobs for the unemployed people of the nation. Oil rigs are extracting oil from the ground. Factories are mass producing military and navy stuff. We thank all of the nations for being in an alliance with us. We send more troops to fight the war against Russia.
 * Japan: Japan continues to build up its military. Some more Buddhist Temples are built. Construction of an auto racing circuit in Motegi, Tochigi continues. Komanosuke Uchiyama begins building the first entirely Japanese-made gasoline engine car, the Takuri.

'''I just want to say that the players of Britannia, Scandinavia, and Germany should all feel really bad about themselves. Also, if Germany joins the war in Italy it's score will be halfed in this war and the War of Lithuanian aggression, resulting in a loss of that war.'''
 * That's not how governmants or roads work in any country. 
 * Okay I accepts the roads but I have already stated in 1901 that the government had started changing because I don't want to clog this let's take it up in chat.
 * Alright, but please elaborate more. Also, you're not going to war with a country you have relativley war relations with you to unify something that doesn't exist.
 * Brazil: Roads continue to be repaired and created, and more railroads are created. This creates jobs for the unemployed in Brazil, and has the two-fold affect of both beginning the repairs of our great nation, and also of injecting much needed funds into the economy, as people have more loose money, so spend more freely, improving the economy. We offer a trade deal with Britannia, where they give us technology, in exchange for the raw resources of Brazil. The Army is trained more, but the Emperor infiltrates it with spies, to report back on any dissent within the military. The Monarchist Sect is infiltrated, but instead of creating martyrs, the government appoints them as official bodyguards to the Emperor, away from the rest of the Army. The role is purely symbolic, but it seems to satisfy. Propaganda plays up the excellence of the Emperor. The first President is elected, Washington Luís. The President appoints various members of the Workers' Party of Brazil - the winning party - to ministerial positions. The Minister for Industry is aghast to discover that Brazil imports Iron, as it cannot process the iron mined here, and sets to work creating Factories where Iron can be processed into Steel, and Iron Ore can be smelted. Other Minerals we mine are also processed. We create a state-run processing system, and the cities that benefit from it, Belo Horizonte and Rio De Janero, the unemployed percentage is reduced, as many begin to work in the Factories, or at the docks. Plantations continue to grow throughout the interior, although more workers are moving to industrial jobs in the cities. We begin to increase worker rights, and this lowers the number of deaths in the plantations. Work begins on creating Tractors and Combine Harvesters, to make the Plantations more efficient. Some Petrol Tractors are imported from abroad, and the Government sets up "Brazilian Farm Equipment Co." to manufacture Tractors and other farming equipment for Brazilian Plantations, and hope to export them throughout South America and other areas where there are Plantations, as they are specifically designed for working in Humid Conditions, and working on large Plantations, where there are natural obstacles, such as steep slopes, and irrigation ditches, as opposed to the equipment designed in North America and Europe, which is aimed more at Farmland, and Fields, rather than vast plantation. We begin to create a Merchant Fleet, which sails from Rio de Janeiro. Rainforest Wood is exported around the world. Hearing of the Wright Brothers success, we send several Brazilian Scientists to study their plane, and try to duplicate it. We send money to the Wright Brothers in payment for this.

And why should we all feel bad about ourselves???
 * Gran Colombia: the earthquake is soon responded too, we begin moving our rescue missions to find the trapped in the area and to send supplies to the injured, the military and navy are built up, the supplies are also sent to ecuador in order to help our neighbours,while we continue asking their government to considere the possibility of rejoining the federation, while this industrialization of core parts of the country begin
 * Occidentia Decides that we must expand to the South, so we invade Appalachia so as to gain their land. We deploy as many troops as possible, and hope to end the war quickly. English and Irish immergrients begin to have an effect upon the nation.
 * English and Irish are pretty much the same in this game btw.
