Kingdom of France
England has been expelled of France, however we have a big lack of confidence to those Englishmen. To protect our country better and form an unified French front in case of English aggression, we annex our last vassal states by pushing their leaders out of the power accusing them of being "Supporters of England". In outer politics, the 12,000 troops that were in the border with Burgundy are stationed in the border with Savoy, pressuring them to leave the kingdom of Arles. We ask to the HRE to let French troops enter the empire to help defending the country. The 12,000 troops are placed as 8000 in Grenoble and 4000 in Lyon. The french navy is increased with 3 new carracks and 5 war galleys. Our proposal of alliance with Scotland is removed and any agreement is annulated by the king. We also recruit more troops by $1000 (yes, from this turn on, conscription costs $1000) to defend the country. A proposal of help is sent to Aragon, telling them that French troops will enter Ghent and later give the territory back to Aragonese rule, waiting for answer.

We also ask for trade agreements with Castille, Norway, Sweden and the Ottoman Empire.

The trade agreement with Scotland is improved.

Kingdom of England
In response to the French powers increasing their navy and army, we bump up ours as well. We sepnd $1,000 of army and another $500 on navy. Hopefully the country thinks that this will calm the country down. Fearing a new French invasion, England deploys 1/3 of it's navy to the English Channels, securing the area and also making out a message saying "The English Channel is England's", wanting France to back off.England attacks the Irish states capturing only border cities and towns. The English King requests a personal Union with Scotland to improve better relationships and increase our overall strength. England also requests an alliance with the states within the HRE, most particularly Bavaria. We also request an alliance with Poland. we also requests to be trade partners to Portugal, Aragon and Poland.

However, he also wants to prove his force, so he places 5,000 Troops in Derry and then Attacks Aileach. He also attacks with the 1,000 men from Orkney by sea. In the end of the year, trying to Emulate Norway (which found Greenland), David publishes a Promise for a Government support of any Naval journey West, and so far nobody replied.

Kingdom of Hungary
In desperate for income, they sent requests for trade agreements to Bohemia, Venice and Austria, of course try get as much income as possible. Since they have the coast that Croatia had, they build 6 war galleys and 2 carracks for simple purposes, to defend the coast but not powerful enough to take the victory. For now they may not build more or at least one turn for more defence against those blockades and piracy. They began preparing an invasion on Bosnia by sending 7,000 troops near Bosnia and the borders as well, by next year, we might attack it for it's capital, Sarajevo.
