Basic Rules

 * You can freely choose your country, and choose how it's going to be, of course, without leading this too far from the plausible.
 * You can't get ahead the time (Feudalism, the discovery of America, Industrial Revolution, nukes, Liberalism, etc).
 * You must be realistic with the resources on your nations (no gold in Anatolia for the Byzantines).
 * Give some importance to the history inside each nation.
 * When you are conquering land outside the known world for that era you are colonizing and each colony means slower expansion rate.
 * Game will be archived every 15 years/turns.

Agapetus I bring the Jubilee to its beginning as in march of 500 it's celebrated through the Roman and Frankish world, for the first time since Rome's collapse the Latin world is relatively united, strong, and proud of its foundations, in Rome Flavius,Nepos (Titular Emperor of the West) and Julius of Persia meet in Rome, Declaring a full union between the Roman Christianity, founding five major religious diocesis, Africa, Centered in Carthage, Asia, centered in Antiochia, Persia centered in Persapolis, Europa Poniente centered in Rome and Europa Orientalis, Centered in Constantinople, all recognizing the Pope at Rome as titular ruler of the Christian world.

'''The Mayan expansion in Cuba continues as Chichen's traders continue flooding the Antillian coast of Cuba, and the Tikal city-state enter the colonizing of the Antilles discovering Jamaica colonizing the small territories of its coast soon and beginning long term trading through the Southern Antilles. They also beginning founding small trading cities along the Central American coast and begin contacting the Arawak at Northern Colombia, starting trading between the Southern and the Western Mesoamerica.'''

The Slavs Bulgars form the First Bulgar Tsardom forms in the Northwestern Scythia where the structure forms (In a Khanate-Like style), and A similar thing occurs in the Hunnic-Scythian side, both states are however a weak confederation of states only connected by previous tradition.

The Vulcan Barú Erupts and the Expansion of the Arawak is halted in the Coast of Panama for this period of time.

Gwynedd: War is declared on Ceredigion. All allies are called into the war against Ceredigion. Troops are sent south to Ceredigion to commence fighting (ALG).

'''The National Druidic Church continues to establish the official rules of the religion and a list of gods and goddesses is made on a massive runestone placed in Glasgow, while official rituals are still being worked on.



Continues to expand the military especially the navy. To discover more trade routes explorers are sent South, North, East, and West. The sailor heading east discovers nothing, the sailor heading north discovers the Faroe Islands (renamed the Fellow Isles), the sailor heading south reaches Mauritania, and the sailor heading west lands in a land inhabited by vicious Northerners in a place that they call Nordland (OTL Stavanger).

Saxons: With the rebels defeated (mostly), the military begins to stand down, and the high-king turns to more domestic matters. A new code of laws is published on a new medium sweeping north; parchment (prior to this, most Saxon runes were written on wood). The most important newly added points (newly added in that they were not present in the other, unwritten, general law code) reflect the increasing Romanization (by Romanization I mean slight tilt to Roman culture) of the Saxon tribes, especially regarding the levying of the military. They are as follows: Eastern Roman Empire: the Emperor Flavius travels to its domains at Persia, where his followers Give him the tittle of Rex Mundi, as the Claims finally reach the greatness of ruling for its most part over most of the known world, excepting the territories of Gaul and Germania, territories that many Greek peoples find to be outside the Oecumene or civilized world, Military is built up and navy expands as well as economy. Expansion toward the north continues into Dacia Germanica and to Scythia Maiorism, and south into Aethiopia citerioris.

Western Roman empire: the military and navy are built up, expansion into Pannonia continues as well as south into Nigeria, by 10,000 sq km. the empire begins the vassalization of the kingdom of Mauritania.

Dacia: the military is built up and the expansion northward continues, the kingdom begins to increasingly become Romanized by the influences within the kingdom made by the Greeks and Romans from the east.

Suessionum: The kingdom continues its invasion of Armorica, Syagrius leads the invasion on the western border and prepares a fleet with the remaining vessels from Rotomagus.

Persia: The kingdom builds its military and infrastructure, the plans to invade Kazakh Persia continue rising but for now they are irrelevant as Persia is unprepared. While this, Christian conversions grow in the western border.

Iberia: Military is built up, navy expands as well as infrastructure, the kingdom expands 10,000 sq km northward.

Rome faces small turmoils as Goths in their territories begin either sacking the small churches or killing Christian people out of revenge for the Byzantine invasion of Rome, but most are executed or taken to prisons before causing major damage.

Persia faces Turmoil as Some Nestorians are killed, by claiming that Rome has pushed its religion upon Persia, and many find that this is outrageous as not only their religion and nation had been ignored if not even their Royalty has been insulted, yet the Turmoil doesn't escalate much as Julius agrees on given more power to the Persian peoples, Reluctantly.

'''The Mayan expansion into the Antilles continues, as both Tikal and Chichen Itza expand through Cuba and Jamaica, and begin a more open trade with the Arawak. While this, Tikal begins colonizing Cuba as well as some peoples begin settling the region from Eastern Cuba.'''

The Qing Dynasty ends in Southern China being replaced by the Li dynasty.

The Arawak expansion to the South on Choco, instead of going Northward into Panama.

The Inhabitants of Southern Colombia from Peruvian origin in Nariño continues thriving in its coast and doing small expansion as they grow or merge with native peoples.

Dal riata - Connaught war : Status Quo Ante bellum - No gains

Dal Riata: The National Druidic Church has officially created the Druidic religion with the religious head being the king, as lists of official deities and rituals are created to be practiced throughout the nation. Due to the defeat in Eire the nation flees back to Pictish Eire to recuperate and recover for a future invasion, but while the war is over Riatan ships continue to blockade Connaught ports and harass their ships. Begins to expand the military and navy extensively. Sends colonists to Nordway in OTL Stavanger as a trading post. Explorers continue exploring in all directions.

Eastern Roman Empire: The growth of Rome to glory is unexpected, but it begins, the Goths who oppose to the Roman power in Italy are offered to be dealt with to the Roman ruler of the west. yet the Emperor believes it is best to remain silent about this matters for now.

''' The Goths fall silent as many are either threatened or bribed by the Roman senators, some yet remain rising against Rome however they have lost their strength, that once made Rome collapse. '''

The Events in Persia continue threatening but Julius' edict of Ctesiphon in Roman terrain would start the change as it allows freedom of Religion in Persia, as being predominantly Zoroastrian.
 * Persia had freedom of religion until the Arabs
 * Roman Christendom didn't until 1500 onward.
