A Bad Past (Archive 1)

Shi'ite Caliphate (ex-Persia)

 * Syrian Jihad: We start another Jihad against the weaklings in the south just for the sake of expanding our territory, sending over 70,000 men to invade. Obviously, because Syria is bigger than Cyprus, we only occupy a portion, but we expect to take it in the following turns.

Kingdom of Romania (former) | Technocratic Queendom of Romania

 * Government
 * The Coup: A new faction has been rising through the merchant guilds, and has recently toppled the most powerful of the Balkan guilds. Led by Împărăteasă Puternic, the daughter of one of the most wealthy families in Romania, she gathers her army and storms into the King's quarters, capturing the King and his family and executing them four days later in front of a moderately large audience. News of her ascension to the Romanian throne travels fast, and she quickly reorganises the armed forces and avoids a potential civil war.
 * Transition to Queendom: The transition from a patriarchal society to a matriarchal one was painful. First, Queen Împărăteasă rewrote the Bible in a matriarchal format, switching the genders of all characters. This was distributed using the the newly invented printing press. Next, the Queen changed national and regional law to benefit females over males, so that it mirrored patriarchal society but with swapped roles. With this, females became more empowered in themselves. Men were still seen as the brute force though. Lastly, the Queen enforced a new family policy, forcing everyone to marry, never divorce, and have at least 4 children. This way, they could partially combat child mortality through culture alone. Through these reforms, the Queen had managed to change Romanian culture in ways never seen before.
 * The Technocracy: The Queen was a technocrat, and made sure that all of her descendants knew this. She used her wide ranging power to place science and knowledge on the pedestal, encouraging capitalism and the pursuit of new ideas. She did this by accompanying science with imperialism, strengthening her grip on Romania so that the extent of the benefits of science and technology were known. This started a semi-revolution. The combination of female empowerment, the advent of science and invention, and a centralised Romania led to massive knowledge acquisition, starting with the invention of the printing press and the advent of gunpowder into Romanian armies.
 * Philosophy: With the advent of the printing press, Romanian philosophers were able to spread the word of their enlightenment. However, as the Queen wanted to keep a tight grip on the people, she bribed, blackmailed, and forced her way into the philosophers' writings, making sure that they endorse the Queen, her Bible, and the people.
 * Maritime advent: The Queen was fond of enlarging Romania's naval capacity. Therefore, she set her best philosophers and scientists to work at creating the best inventions to boost the image and strength of the Romanian navies. Through this, the astrolabe and dry dock were invented, significantly boosting Romanian prestige and Romanian naval power. Along with this, Romanian ships were reinforced with strong metals that would resist damage. These strong metals would be the frame of the ship, with wood being set on top. Oars and sails were also reinforced and enlarging, enlarging the ships and their capacity, speed, and ability to travel long distances.
 * Zakarpattia, Vojvodina, and Crimea: After the RAF captured these areas and the Queen took control of them, massively controversial propaganda techniques were used. The armies that remained there secretly started to take down cultural monuments and replacing them with Romanian-relevant ones. Along with propaganda and a functioning police branch in each area, all three areas were successfully converted, although Crimea less than the other two. The conversion of Crimea will take another year to complete.
 * Military
 * Composition: The Romanian Armed Forces are composed of four sections: the Police, who keep Romanians safe and enforce the Queen's royal law (67,000 active officers); the Army, who keep borders safe and extend the imperial realms (64,000 active soldiers, 32,000 reserve soldiers); the Navy, who keep Romanian seas safe, protect Romanian trade, and extend the knowledge and boundaries of the imperial realms (24,000 sailors, 65 ships); and the Clandestina, who continually expand the boundaries of Romanian knowledge and keep Romania safe from foreign spies and operatives (17,000 operatives).
 * Romanian conquest of Zakarpattia: The Queen sent an imperial request to Zakarpattia, telling them that they shall relinquish the ownership over their land to her holiness the Queen. No response came from this small nation, and so Romania was forced to act, as per the newly written Romanian legislation. The Clandestina remained in Zakarpattia, despite their main job of reporting back knowledge to be complete. They were to report military movements back to the Queen. Meanwhile, the Queen sent 15,000 soldiers to the location of the Zakarpattian leaders, who had holed themselves up in a castle. This battle was very short, mainly due to the competence of the Clandestina. The Zakarpattian authorities were taken back to Bucharest and taken to trial, where they relinquished the ownership of Zakkarpattia to the Queen. They were thrown in cells, and executed the next day. The Queen immediately sent another 4,000 soldiers and 12,000 officers into Zakkarpattia, training the police officers, killing stray families, and enforcing the Queendom's technocratic ideals.
 * Romanian conquest of 'Vjodvdina' (Vojvodina): As the conquest of Zakarpattia is under way, the Queen looks to the future, and knows that at some point in time, Romania shall come into conflict with the more powerful Serbia. To curb this, the Queen sends an imperial request to Vojvodina, Serbia's northern neighbour, telling them to relinquish the ownership over their land to her holiness the Queen. Of course, they also did not respond (it is quite possible that their response was "lost" on the way back), and so the Queen sent 15,000 soldiers to confront the Vojvodinians in Zrenjanin, Temerin, and then Novi Sad, from which Vojvodinian leaders had fled. Thanks to the Clandestina, it was known that the Vojvodinians fled to Sombor, and so the Queen's generals marched upon Sombor and burnt it to the ground. During the fighting, Vojvodina's King and Queen were killed. The battle of Sombor was decisive, and marked the end of Vojvodina. The Queen assumed legislative responsibility over Vojvodina, and announced that Vojvodina was to be annexed into Romania as a core province. Once again, the Queen sent in more soldiers and another 6,000 officers to convert local authorities and strengthen the technocratic ideals of the newly expanded Queendom.
 * Romanian conquest of the State of Crimea: The Queen was fond of her navy, but the navy was untested. The navy was mobilized, as the Queen sent an imperial request to Crimea. Crimea was a democracy, a vile and repugnant ideology, and so the Queen had good reason to oppose Crimea and the spread of their ideals. No response came back from the Crimeans, as the Queen had sunk the messenger's ship, and so the Queen authorized the naval invasion of Crimea. 9,000 soldiers climbed aboard transport ships, travelling to Yevpatoriya. Crimean docks had already been destroyed by Romanian vessels, and the Crimeans now had a limited naval capacity. This gave the Romanians naval superiority over the northern Black Sea. Romanian transport ships were able to dock in Yevpatoriya, along with more transport ships containing another 9,000 soldiers, and so 18,000 soldiers ransacked Yevpatoriya. The Crimeans were of course scared, and attempted to flee the country. However, due to the combination of the Romanian Clandestina and naval superiority over the northern Black Sea, they were captured in the outskirts of Simferopol, taken to Yevpatoriya, and forced to sign a treaty of submission to the Queen. The Queen's army marched to Simferopol, where they killed the mayor, before marching to Sevastopol and taking over the capitol building. The Crimean leaders were hastily executed, just as transport ships brought police officers to Crimea. Unlike Zakarpattia and Vojvodina, Crimea was a democracy, and so required cultural appropriation on a massive scale. The Queen used propaganda and the bribing and blackmail of local officials to control the Crimean population, combining these techniques with the training of police officers and the construction of Romanian buildings.
 * Diplomacy: The Queen wanted to expand the imperial realms though both conquest and diplomacy, although diplomacy would be quite hard, considering the strangeness of the technocratic Queendom.
 * Moldova: Due to cultural significance and closeness between our two nations, it seems appropriate for Moldova to join the imperial realms. Through these actions, Moldova shall become a much more urban and inviting environment, and could possibly be the centre of science and technology in the region. Consider these words wisely.
 * Slovakia: Ah, Slovakia. I own the part of Zakarpattia that you desire. I also know that Slovakia desires land in Hungary. Romania is able to fulfil these key desires for some Romanian desires in return. Romania would like Slovakia to become a Romanian vassal state. This will not result in the annexation of Slovakia. Rather, through the Queendom's technocratic and capitalistic ideals, Slovakia shall grow as a nation and the Slovakian people shall be happier than ever. Romania will protect Slovakian lands with fervour and grit. Romania has no interest in annexing Slovakia, as Romania is more concerned with Hungary, Serbia, and Bulgaria. Slovakia will get as much land as they desire in Hungary, and possibly Moravia if it suits you. Heed my words, and hopefully, you shall see the potential for greatness here.
 * Greece: Greece, are you not scared? The Ottoman Empire is reclaiming their land, and they shall turn to you next. Greece, I offer a proposal. We should work together. Partners. Most of Europe seems to have abandoned me, and so I need an ally who I can trust, and who can trust me. You want land, I can sense it. Greek Macedonia is rightfully yours, it's even in the name, and yet... you have no control over it. Even Macedonia, stole a name central to your heritage, even though they themselves are not Greek. By proxy, do they not also belong to you? What about Bulgaria? Bulgaria has historically been controlled by the Greeks, and yet now they frolic freely as if they have nothing to fear. We can change the Balkans, for the better. We can put it on the world stage. We can bring back the Latin Empire, controlled by Greece, ruling over the region. Together, we can dominate. I know that we can.

The Sultanate of the Levant (Past) - Technological, Scientific, Economic Advancement Republic of Lebanon (TSEARL)

 * Government
 * The Change: The Sultan of Levant watched in amazement the technological advancements of European Countries. After hearing about the Romanian Technocrat Government, the Sultan comes to the plan of creating a TSEA (Technological, Scientific, Economic Advancement) Government. The issue would have been the people who would not agree to spend money on learning for nothing in return. The Vizier, an alchemist himself, offered the Sultan the option of a Republic. It would keep the people happy while also enforcing the new government style. The naive Sultan agreed, not noticing the fact that he would be overthrown by the people. The Vizier's plan goes ahead and the Sultan is no more. The Sultanate is no longer available and the Republic is put into place. The people are happy as the sultanate never noticed the people and didn't value them. The riddance leads to high hopes from the people as the small republic is born.
 * Act 1-1, The Education Act: The new TSEA government was born to grow the education of the people. Therefore, the first act put into place creates many educational centres for learning of the mass population to increase the understanding of the mass. The immediate effect is the reduction of the mortality rate by 0.017 percent due to increases in medical teachings. This might seem small, but it is an improvement nonetheless.
 * Act 1-2, The Research Act: The new TSEA government wants to be the top in research around the globe. Therefore, research is subsidised and encouraged and propaganda is sent to encourage the development of powerful research teams throughout the republic. This strengthens our research power.
 * Act 1-3, Inter-Religion Conference: The difference in religion around the world has led to some big problems. Inside the Republic, we have inter-religion meetings to discuss the common issues between our people. This helps create a balanced society that enforces equality and liberty. Other Countries are encouraged to join as we aim to help the world go out of this constant hatred.

 * All Nations: Want to join our inter-religion conference?

France

 * Government: we annex Normandy boi
 * Military:Since Normandy capitulated France decided to add the Normandian army into the French one to make up for the casualties. Although not all of the casualties were made up with that but some were also conscripted this year causing a slight increase in military personnel(since nationalism wasn't that much of a thing it's unlikely that they would betray me)

 * Military: The military is greatly increased and it will continue to do so in the following years due to the big threat that Muslim Spain poses to us. We also begin research of better armors and firearms, but this will take a couple years to complete.
 * 45,700 Infantry
 * 12,300 Bowmen
 * 9,500 Cavalry
 * 50 Cannons
 * Wars
 * Reconquista 2.0: Since Spain has converted to Islam, they are now a threat to our territorial integrity and to Christianity as a whole. Therefore, we decide to make the first strike by attacking the city of Salamanca, while occupying surrounding rural areas. Since the Islamists just took over, this should be an easy thing to do, considering that they don't have full control over their armed forces and that many would oppose such rule. 40,000 men are used in this operation.
 * Diplomacy:
 * Galicia, Catalonia, Basque: The threat of Islam is too big to not do something about it, if we let the Hispanian and Andalucian heretics merge, we'll be the next ones to fall. Because of this, we believe that we must set aside our differences and form some sort of Iberian Confederacy or Commonwealth to kick out those infidels from our peninsula. Reconquista must happen once again!

While the borders with Poland mainly stabilize, the Byelarussian forces are waiting for the Russian Forces in order to both Byelarussia and Russia invade Poland together.
 * Funding Polish Rebels (Nobody knows about this): The Byelarussian Government also funds protests in Poland which are pro-Democratic. The Byelarussian Government sends in some spies in order to create a Democratic rebel group in order to distract Poland. These rebels are also funded. (Note for the NPC Maker: The result of the rebellion should be determined by the NPC's)
 * Diplomacy:
 * Lithuania: I propose an alliance between our two great nations, we have cultural ties and both were part of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth. Now that we are both independent I think its time we protect ourselves from the Poles. We also ask them to form an alliance called "The Baltic Order" along with Latvia and Estonia. Byelarussia guarantees the Independence of Lithuania. Byelarussia also asks Lithuania if they could help in the war against Poland, they would receive Kaliningrad and other Polish Provinces.
 * Estonia and Latvia: Join The Baltic Order, If the Baltic states unite and create an alliance, we would be much more stronger, besides both of you have been part of different empires from time to time, the Polish, the Swedes and the Russians. Byelarussia guarantees the independence of Estonia and Latvia.
 * Ukraine: I would like to buy the Volyn an the Rivne provinces from you for 1 Billion USD.
 * Poland: Warsaw is closer to Byelarussia than I expected. Btw I also guaranteed the independence of Lithuania. (Don't take it personaly, I like a bit of a challenge)

Shi'ite Caliphate (former) | Holy Islamic Empire (now, but they are still called Persia or Shi'ite Caliphate)

 * Government
 * Modernism: We have eastern communication, so their technological secrets such as gunpowder has led us to building these cannonballs and firearms. We also plan to go over the east as well (hahah) but this map sucks so much that oh well, we can focus on getting Mecca. Flintlock, 25% done. We also develop rudimentary discipline which should be done next year
 * Centralise the Government (and stabilise it): We use our conscripts to only attack other countries, diverting all soldiers to manage the country. The Caliph will also begin building huge outposts and fortresses exclusively for loyal soldiers, which is to be done by 2 years.
 * Kill all Syriac Christians/Assyrians in Iraq: fIlThY cHrIsTiAnS mUsT dIe Or Be IsLaMiC lIkE nEo-UmAyYaD
 * Take Mecca: In order to be a true caliphate, you must go and tke Mecca. People will hate us because of Shia but we MUST GO FORWARD and eradicate Sunni Muslims from proper Arabia...
 * Military
 * Iraq: We eliminate them.
 * Arabia: WE WANT MECCA. It's time to sweep the place with camel archers and all that generic islamic armies, we send 150,000 soldiers to invade Arabia and in particular take Medina and Mecca. By the end of the year we took half of Arabia but the west remains strong
 * Turkmenistan: We want to create a puppet state called the Shahdom of Urdestan. We send 80,000 soldiers for that.
 * Diplomacy: We will ruin Islam's reputation, ALLAHU AKBAR
 * Nejd/Arabia: kys
 * Jordan: Good for you
 * Levant: kys, I am a true Muslim
 * Russia: #### you but we already took half of Azerbaijan so if you dare to take it its war only if you try to take it back, but i will send an assassin to kill your tsar if you tried to threaten me
 * Ottoman: Sorry bro, but we don't like you anymore :(
 * Spain: #### you as well, you turned to good Islam but turn back to filthy Catholicism: ((( I will kill your king.

Poland

 * Government/Laws:
 * Government: We call up the Militias and prepare the country for war against the Belarussians which has threatened us despite us wanting to peacefully unite the Poles living in Belarus.


 * Economy:
 * Economy: The Economy has majorly developed as the annexation of Kaliningrad has given us a massive port in the Baltic sea.


 * Military:
 * People with guns: 2,000
 * Knights: 15,000
 * Light infantry: 21,000
 * Light Cavalry: 6,000
 * Heavy Cavalry (Winged Hussars): 11,000
 * Cannons: 5,000


 * Wars:
 * WPIERDOL TIME (Belarus): With the Belarussians insulting us and oppressing the Polish minorities and trying to act as a regional power even though they are the weakest country in Eastern Europe, we have decided we will defeat them. We fund Polish rebels in Grodno to rise up and help the incoming 7,500 Knights and 1,000 Gunmen. We then send 5,000 Hussars and 10,000 Light Cavalry and 1,000 Knights to invade Brest, by the end of the year both Brest and Grodno are under our control, we stop pushing deeper into Belarus, as we already have all the territory we need. We build defences along the line of many rivers which we are occupying, such as the Neman River, Mukhavets River and the Bug River, this greatly increases our defensive capacity. All troops are stationed behind these rivers.


 * Culture:
 * Kaliningrad: The Russians still hate us because we genocide 5% of them but we are now working on making Polish the main language in dockyards, Russian language is allowed but Polish is the lingua franca.


 * Diplomacy:
 * Belarus: Thank you for insulting us. It's wpierdol time.
 * Lithuania: Nice great job. Hope you enjoy being a part of Russia in the future.
 * Romania: Your offer will have to wait, but I believe Poland should get all the land it had in Ukraine before WW2.
 * Slovakia: You have made a good decision by declining Romania's offer. Your 2 countries have nothing in common, now how about you become a vassal of Poland? We will not dispose of your current government and Slovaks will be able to freely move through Poland and Slovakia, we will not force you to learn the Polish language but it will be a choice. We will not call you into any of our wars either.

Technocratic Queendom of Romania

 * Government
 * Preparation: As the Queen realizes that Europe is getting smaller, she decides that Romania will not associate themselves with the internal affairs of Europe too much. However, she still has the conquest of the Ukraine to prepare for. With the ideology of Romania cemented, she subsidizes local authorities to improve industry and invention, while calling for Romanians to serve her holiness the Queen and fight for technocracy and the queendom. Crimea and Bessarabia are heavily mobilized, with many Crimeans and Moldovans joining the Romanian ranks. The armies and navies of Romania are reorganised, and people wait, as the Queen sends an ultimatum to the Ukraine. As this is happening, officers all over Romania set up training programs, rehabilitating thieves and murderers and placing them in Romanian ranks. Many peasants and farmers cannot afford to leave their land, but send their sons to fight for them. The Queen makes a promise, that all who shall die shall not die in vain. Romania shall win.
 * Immigration: With the capture of Vojvodina, Crimea, and Zakarpattia, people in Romania have been migrating all over, with over 800,000 Romanians moving to Crimea. The Queen makes sure to support this, making culturally Romanian regions attractive to other peoples, and newly conquered lands attractive to Romanians. By doing this, Crimea, Zakarpattia, and Vojvodina get Romanian majorities, while their former residents are too scattered across Romania to form any sort of meaningful majority.
 * Hungarians: The Queen orders that Hungarians in Transylvania and Crisana are deported to Bulgaria. This causes political tension, but this was the point. The Queen continues to delight Slovakia, sending them gifts and offering them Zakarpattia as free land if they become a Romanian vassal. The Hungarians see this as a threat, of course, but there have been no escalations as of yet.
 * Gunpowder: The Queen subsidizes experimentation with gunpowder, and subsequently discovers two technologies. Fireworks and Hand Cannons. As Hand Cannons are commissioned to be used in the conquest of Ukraine, the Queen nationalizes her birthday, having the first Queen's birthday with a grand firework finale. This inspires many to invest in gunpowder, increasing the chance of more inventions.
 * Military
 * Composition: The Romanian Armed Forces are composed of four sections: the Police, who keep Romanians safe and enforce the Queen's royal law (77,000 active officers); the Army, who keep borders safe and extend the imperial realms (74,000 active soldiers, 42,000 reserve soldiers); the Navy, who keep Romanian seas safe, protect Romanian trade, and extend the knowledge and boundaries of the imperial realms (34,000 sailors, 75 ships); and the Clandestina, who continually expand the boundaries of Romanian knowledge and keep Romania safe from foreign spies and operatives (20,000 operatives).
 * Clasdestina Operations in Europe: The Queen authorizes for the Ukrainian, Serbian, Hungarian, Bulgarian, and Polish Clandestina Divisions to be expanded, as the Clandestina primarily focuses on these regions. This leads to a lot of knowledge acquisition on these nations, especially Ukraine. As the conquest of the Ukraine draws closer, the Queen decides to keep them there, so that they may influence Ukrainian politics and get them to sue for peace during the war.
 * Romanian conquest of the Ukraine: The ultimatum comes back to the Queen. No response from the Ukrainians. The Queen had feared this, but was bound by her promise to God, to expand the imperial realms. And by God, did she keep her promise. 40,000 Romanians, Crimeans, and Vojvodinians (1st Division) crossed the Ukrainian border into Nadchornomonia. Thanks to infiltrators in the Ukraine, authorities were told that the Romanians were planning to invade Galicia first. However, as another 20,000 Romanians, Moldovans, and Zakarpattians (2nd Division) crossed the Ukrainian border into Ukrainian Bessarabia, the Ukrainians knew that they had been copped out. The 1st Division pushed into the Black Sea-Azov Lowland, taking major towns such as Melitopol and Kherson. However, they were stopped in Kherson by Ukrainian forces, forcing the 1st Division behind the Dnieper river. Meanwhile, the 2nd Division faired much better, pushing forward to meet the Southern Bug, taking Odessa. The 2nd Division met the Ukrainian forces fighting the 1st Division at Mykolayiv. Both Divisions were perfectly poised to crush Ukrainian forces in a sandwich, and so the Ukrainians were forced to retreat back up the South Bug and Dnieper rivers. However, Ukrainian forces had successfully invaded North Moldova (after failing to infiltrate Romanian defences in the North Carpathian mountains). Due to this, the Queen authorizes the mobilization of 30,000 reserve forces (3rd Division), who gather in the Carpathian mountains. Well supplied and eager for war, they cross the Carpathian mountains and attack the Ukrainian towns of Drohobych, Ivano-Frankivsk, and Kamyanets-Podilskyy, taking over most of the Dniester river. collaborating with the 2nd Division, they surrounded Ukrainian forces in North Moldova and slaughtered them. This was a huge morale boost for Romanian forces, as the 1st and 2nd Division secure Nadchornomonia, while the 3rd Division secures Galicia. By December, Romanian forces have secured all land they desire, sending Ukraine an offer for peace, and a potential alliance when the war is over if they want to be protected from bigger powers. Thanks to Clandestina Divisions in the Ukraine, the Ukrainian court is pushed toward peace. However, they have not yet responded to anything.
 * Diplomacy: The Queen is well aware of the overall European opinion of Romania, but the Queen is following only God, and acting for the good of God's plans for the imperial realms.
 * Ukraine: I suggest you peace out quickly and ally me before Poland or Belarus decide they want a piece of you. I don't want to annex you. You know what I want. Peace out, give me the land I want, and join the Imperial League with me and Greece.
 * Slovakia: Stubborn. I get it. Oh wait - I don't. Don't you understand? Powers like the Germans and the Polish don't want vassals. They just want land. I'm offering you a proposal when the alternative is being annexed by Poland or Austria. I'm offering you a chance to fulfil God's plans and establish Slovakia's place in the European theatre.
 * Greece: Hey Greece. Remember our plans. The Macedonians first. Also, I think we should expand our alliance to Portugal and Ukraine (if they agree). We can call the alliance the Imperial League.
 * Poland: You are starting to be a bit annoying you know. But whatever, if you want us to be enemies, that's fine.
 * Germanic Alliance: Don't be annoying.
 * Portugal: Hey, you are invited to join the Imperial League.
 * France: Be smart and don't interfere in Romanian-Russian politics.
 * Andalucia: Join the Imperial League?
 * Lebanon: Hey, you should join the Imperial League too. It'll be the best way to take down the Ottomans.
 * Persia: Feeling wary about the Ottomans and Russians? Romania is here to help you.
 * Serbia: Suck my dick.

Greece

 * Government: As a kingdom, all parts of the country are given the same level of autonomy (that is, none) and each region is guarded with walls to prevent invasion of the entire country, as it's fairly small. It's an absolute monarchy and the Queen Helena does what she wants. She is married to a man from the Technocratic Queendom of Romania, Douglas, who is part of the royal family somewhere down the lineage. The people respect the ruthless decisions of Queen Helena, and do not question her authority in any shape or form. As the government realises that despite the regional walls, the country is still prone to an invasion from other seafaring countries and needs to expand its surface area, as Greece is fairly small compared to other countries in the continent. She looks towards Macedonia as a potential country to take out first and starts planning a future invasion.
 * Military: The current military of 45,300 active soldiers as well as 14,000 reserve is being made bigger, especially since Queen Helena is thinking of making a 3 year military service compulsary for 15-25 year olds. All slaves, non-free peoples, criminals and refugees are also forced to serve in the military from now on. Macedonia is a small but mountainous state, and it is bordered with Greece with mountains. Therefore, the military is thinking of invading Macedonia through a valley close to the town of Ptolemaida. With the help of Romania, the Greeks are thinking of an almost flawless victory.
 * Diplomacy:
 * Romania: We kindly accept you offer to join the Imperial League
 * Portugal: As you are already invited to join the League, we invite you to accept Romania's offer
 * Turkey: Sure, you can #### over Cyprus, but we still have over 4,000 of your people stuck in a prison somewhere in our country, being force-fed viagra 3 times a day. We also intend to brainwash them and then make them fight on our side against Macedonia.
 * Serbia: We could have signed a non-agression pact but I don't like you so go #### yourself!
 * Scotland: You also seem really edgy and I don't like you... I hope you get invaded ;)
 * Ireland: You seem retarded, but if you take over Scotland then we could reward you nicely with our friendship and an alliance, as well as money and troops

 * Military: We're very gut so yeh
 * Wars: We push farther into Brandenburg again.
 * Diplomacy:

Islamic Empire of Al-Andalus (Former) | The Dual Republic of Andalusia (Present)

 * Government:


 * Transition Into a Dual Republic: With the recent kings death and his utter failure for leading the country and the regency council being formed many of both our Catholic and Islamic population are calling for a new government that will represent the will of the people. Both Islamics and Catholics have gathered together to pressure the regency to form a republic. When the regency council eventually yielded, a new government type was created, a Dual Republic. To say it shortly two presidents will be elected, a Catholic one and a Islamic one that will work together and government their regions where their respected religion reigns in.
 * Immigration Laws: With the ########### of whats happening in Spain/Hispania/Castile, many of Catholics and Islamics have crossed the border to get away from all the #### going on. Before the new Dual Republic, any people crossing the border would be instantly sent back, but the new government proposes a free immigration law. The law is quickly passed and all the immigrants have become citizens of Andalusia.
 * Sort of Secular State: With both Catholics and Islamics now working together for the country, the country has become a more secular state where any religion is freely allowed to practice their own religion as they please.
 * Better Production Recruitment: A law is passed that encourages the new immigrants to take up production jobs. This will help the country produce anything faster then ever before
 * Population: 5,323,870
 * Research:
 * Walls and Forts: We begin to research how to make better walls like the ones in Byzantine Constantinople this will take at least take 3 years to improve all the walls of our forts up to modern times and keep them updated. Along with new walls the forts will also be upgraded with more watchtowers and with cannons on the walls once we have a decent amount of them.

The government establishes defence walls, teams, watchtowers and other Defence mechanisms into place. Fortation also occurs slowly, with every 1000 Acres of land having a small fort.
 * Act 2-2, The Publication Act: The Recent breakthroughs of our researchers are able to help our growth at a significant rate. However, these researchers couldn't be mass produced easily. To help with this, Printing Presses are now established in nearly every district to help. Moveable types are also being produced and readied for more rural areas.
 * Act 2-3, Refugee Act: The TSEARL has accepted many Refugees into the country. We integrate them into our society and help them with education. A portion is sent to the military, because of them volunteering, which grows our army as well.
 * Act 2-4, Delegation and Embassy Act: The TSEARL wants to create peace and friendliness. Therefore, an Embassy Act is wanted to be placed. Essentially, a diplomatic envoy is sent to a country to help with peace affairs in that country. It also causes an ease in communications. PROPOSALS FOR EMBASSIES: Jerusalem, Algeria, Andalucia, Greece, Romania, Belgium, Sweden, Russia'''
 * Act 2-5, Modernisation of Military: With the uprising of muskets, our researchers just modify some hand cannons into a Gunpowder-Blast method to create a musket. This creates inaccurate yet powerful versions of the Musket. The spear of ammunition usually used in hand cannons is still used. These weapons are called: Blast Light Cannon (BLC). They are easy to create on a mass scale due to them being based on researched technology. This causes a decrease in melee soldiers but they are still used. Hand-Cannons are not abandoned and are still being researched to create devastating volley gunpowder weaponry.

 * Jordan: We prepare for a move of soldiers into Jordan. However, the start of the preparations include all 300 spies moving into rural Jordanian areas. By showing off the technology they have and the freedom they are given. The religious minority (The Christians) which are about 10% (1930's percentage - 10% = Because Jerusalem still exists, many Christians are probably in the area for various reasons), are told of the freedom of religion. The Muslims are convinced with the fact that the Islamic Caliphate under the Prophet was a unity of Christians and Muslims too. The scholars of Jordan are shown research publications on Stars to show the advancements of our country. The people are told about the equal rights of people under a republic. This creates a large support for Lebanon in Jordan. 
 * Ottoman: Our Army is in constant training for this distant war
 * Research
 * Hand Cannons: The hand Cannons proved useful at the start of the BLC revolution. However, the tasked researchers continue with their researches on Hand Cannons and create Hand Cannon Projectiles filled with Greek Fire. These start fires but are not widely implemented yet. Expected: 1-2 turns time
 * Underground Liquid: Since the old days, there has been a liquid extracted from underground. Our researchers are experimenting the uses of this liquid (Expected: 4 -7 turns)

Scotland

 * Government It's surprisingly overthrown and has became pro-Nordic, it still decides to be at war with Cumbria but the leaders are less retarded and change the capital to Edinburgh.


 * Military The military is still not bad but as the change some drop out, but more came in, so there are:


 * 27,000 active soldiers, 12,500 reserve soldiers, 4,000 bowmen, 22 ships and 178 cannons.


 * The Scottish-Cumbrian War


 * Operation Argyll: This is a secret operation so no one except the military knows about it. We take East Lothian and Kelso and hold the border and play defence, holding the cities down and make Cumbria have casualties as they realise we don't attack. After we take down their regiments, we slowly but surely capture the surrounded area of the Scottish Borders until Operation Angus, phase two, begins.


 * Operation Angus: This is phase two of Operation Argyll, and it is a secret as well, only known by the military. After Operation Argyll goes to plan, we will walk past the Scottish Borders and slowly into Cumbria's north east, we defend just before we arrive at Middlesbrough and don't try to go further ahead just yet, as we believe there will be a strong force in the English Cumbrian territory. If Operation Argyll messes up which is unlikely. We also have Plan B, Operation Orkney.


 * Operation Orkney: This is a secret operation, but it isn't announced yet. We are nearly finished it.


 * Economy: It's fine but decreasing slowly. Not so bad.


 * Diplomacy:


 * Greece: Don't you like edgy people:D Let's make relations go up:)


 * Sweden and Finland: As I have a pro-Nordic government, can I join your alliance?


 * Cumbria: Please surrender, I won't take all of you. I only want the Scottish and north Northumbria lands...

Kingdom of Cumbria (Before Rebellion) | Kekistani Republic of Cumbria (After Rebellion)

 * Government:
 * The Change: Rebels have taken Cumbria and reformed.
 * New Government: The governament now has many departments; the Department of Defense, of Foreign Relations, of Healthcare, of Education, of Technology, of Religion, of Memes, and of Banking & Business. There are also 3 branches just like the US government. There is also a constitution, but that won't be talked about here.
 * The Department of Defense: This department handles military issues.
 * The Department of Foreign Relations: This department controls embassies and handles foreign relation issues.
 * The Department of Healthcare: This department handles healthcare issues.
 * The Department of Education: This department handles educaton issues.
 * The Department of Technology: This department handles technological and research issues.
 * The Department of Religion: This department classifies religions as official and handles religious issues such as legitimacy of gay marriage.
 * The Department of Memes: This department handles meme issues and classifies memes.
 * The Department of Banking & Business: This department handles banking and business issues and tackles down corruption and mistreatment of workers.
 * Legislative Branch: Controls the departments while giving them semi-autonomy. Also part of the approval of laws.

 * Light Ships: 13
 * Heavy Ships: 5
 * Transport convoys: 5
 * Trebuchets: 95
 * Conflicts and War-Preparations: The Scottish-Cumbrian War of 1452
 * Research
 * Improved Guns: In 1440, Cumbrian merchants travelled to China to get gold. Instead, they brought back gunpowder and guns. In the rebellion of 1446, the rebels got a hold of these guns and the royal soldiers didn't stand a chance, even if they outnumbered the rebels 9-1. Now, those same guns are being used in the war against Scotland. However, many of them break after 50 shots, making battles hard to win. Therefore, the Departments of Technology has been ordered by the Department of Defense to invest in research on better guns. They're trading steel from the Swedish mountains to use for the guns and other research.
 * Steel boats: Basically just transport convoys made of steel. Nothing much to it.
 * Printers: All departments are investing in a way to conveniently spread information quickly without writing a copy of a book down every time someone wants that book.
 * Diplomacy:
 * Scotland: We want peace.
 * Lebanon: We'd like to join in your inter-religon conference. We also need weapons.
 * Trans-European Alliance: Can we join you guys?

Bohems and Moravia: We invade it with 100,000 men.

France: The west, France! How about dividing it?

Romania: Trade alliance?

Benelux: We invade it with 75,000 men

France

 * Government: We is still kingdom
 * Military: As the king realized that firearms are way superior to bows he decided to train his bowmen to use firearms and then gradually turn them into Harquebuisers.
 * Army:
 * Infantry: 95,102
 * Bowmen: 26,093 (mostly crossbowmen)
 * Cavalry: 39,940
 * Harquebuisers (infantry with firearms): 9,600

Luxembourg falls in the first days of the invasion but even the Vallonian armies are steamrolled. After the fall of Vallonia, French soldiers immediately march into Flanders just to find a weak flemish army fighting them which is destroyed despite all of its attempts and Flanders is taken over.The newly gained lands are all annexed.
 * Economy: Stable.

 * West Germany: Sure *Invades Benelux*
 * Spain: It's OK.
 * Andalusia: Welcome to Europe fellow christian (kinda), and sure your alliance offer is accepted
 * Cumbria: I don't know about the others but France is against this as we don't need a pointless war against a simple Scotland

Iberian Confederacy (Portugal)
War on Castille: Even though the Hispanian Caliphate has been abolished, the King still views Castille as a threat, their government has proven to be incompetent and uncapable of mantaining stability on their country, the formation (and fall) of the Caliphate is the living proof of this. So, he uses this as an excuse to continue the war against them. 10,000 troops are sent as reinforcements, making up a total of 50,000 men fighting in the war. Now that Salamanca and most important cities near the border have been captured, we start pushing further into the east in order to secure a line of defence in case of a counter-attack and to stabilize the front. Hopefully, Catalonia will help us attack from the east, and then we will be able to take on bigger cities.
 * Government: Since Galicia has agreed to our offer, we are now a Confederacy with Portugal and Galicia as members - this means that each of them still has its own government, but still technically part of the same country. At local level, our king has started to promote the idea of Iberian unity, as our ultimate goal is to unite the peninsula either through diplomacy or war. People are also encouraged to join the military by portraying the Castillians as threat and offering them a little tax cut if they do so.
 * Military: The military is greatly increased and it will continue to do so in the following years due to the big threat that Castille poses to us. We also begin research of better armors and firearms, but this will take a couple years to complete.
 * 48,700 Infantry
 * 17,300 Bowmen
 * 9,500 Cavalry
 * 53 Cannons
 * 29 vessels
 * Wars:
 * Diplomacy:
 * Andalucia: We sign an alliance and trade pact although this doesn't means they'll intervene in our war against Castille.
 * Basque and Catalonia: I think we can all agree that Spain is too much of an unstable country to allow it to rule itself, so we believe that you should declare war on them as well, it's a chance for you two to expand anyway.

Empire of Sweden

 * Government: Autocracy


 * Current Leader: Empress Cecilia Eld
 * Progress: Xenophobia spreads throughout the Swedish populace as Nordism becomes a more and more common ideology. Many Swedish citizens who were born in foreign countries disappear from their homes, only to be found mutilated and floating in a river. Many are beaten and killed in the streets. Chaos erupts when it is found out that King Asher Erikson's family originated from what is now West Germany. This leads to a revolution in which the entire royal family is murdered. Following the chaos and the creation of a new government, Cecilia Eld, the creator of Nordism, is unanimously chosen by the Swedish people to lead this new Swedish Empire.
 * Army: 
 * Knights: 20,000+
 * Heavy Infantry: 55,000+
 * Light Infantry: 35,000+
 * Bowmen: 15,000+
 * Crossbowmen: 5,000+
 * Navy: 
 * Naval Vessels: 60 
 * Wars/Conflicts: 
 * Greenland: The Empress politely asks that Greenland surrender themselves to the Empire of Sweden. If they don't comply, then she will use other means to make them surrender.
 * Netherlands: On a dark and eerie night, a fleet of Swedish ships quietly approached the city of Amsterdam. Onced docked, 1,000 Swedish soldiers were released into the city. They burnt the city to the ground.
 * Diplomacy:
 * West Germany: If you so much as look in Denmarks direction, your capital is going to end up like Amsterdam. Don't test us.
 * Cumbria: The Empire of Sweden formally declares war on you.
 * Lebanon: We kindly refuse.
 * Russia: We'll help you deal with the #### Caliphate if you ever need it.
 * Poland: Join us.

Russia

 * ​​Government: We become ruled by a king and a queen Ivan and Isabella.  We elect a new prime minister as well, Alexander who is a conservative. The conservatives won over 56% of votes. Here are the rest of the results:


 * Labour: 27%

Liberal Democrats: 11%

Green party: 4%

Other: 2%

Military: We annext all the land we gained in the Caucasus Peninsula and send 80,000 soldiers back and keep 20,000 as well in the peninsula. The remaining 80,000 get sent up to Ingria to capture St Petersburg. We capture St Petersburg on the 27th of June and takeover Ingria. We cancel the invasion of the Ukraine until Turn 4.

Diplomacy:

Nordic Alliance: I've got plans for the Baltics. What about we split the Baltics?

Persia: Please, I want peace and an alliance?

Romania: Please don't kill me.

Portugal and Andalusia: Alliance

TEA: Can we increase relations with the Nordics?

NPC Events:

 * Greenland: The king of Greenland responds to the Swedish offer saying the following: "We shall never join you disgusting animals. It's barbaric what you did to Amsterdam and we shall never associate with such an uncivilized country". Meanwhile, Greenland is preparing its (weak) military. However, there's strong anti-Swedish sentiment in Greenland so in case of an invasion the Swedish army should expect fierce resistance from not only the army but the local population as well.
 * Netherlands: FFS Sweden, but since it's being invaded by West Germany it decides to focus on them instead and does nothing about Sweden. After 6 months the Netherlands is taken over by West German forces (note to the mapmaker:on chat we agreed with west Germany that he only takes the Netherlands while I would get Luxembourg,Vallonia and Flanders)
 * Polish rebels (funded by Belarus): They utterly fail because it's the Middle Ages so democracy wasn't that much of a thing.
 * Baltic countries: They refuse to ally with Belarus because they don't want to be invaded by Poland.
 * Bohemia and Moravia: As the Bavarians and the West Germans joined in the invasion the stalemate finally ends on the southern border allowing the Austrians and all other invading countries to easily push into the lands of these 2 countries and by the end of the year barely anything is left of their lands.
 * Iraq: As the Persian army is steamrolling the Iraqi one Iraq has only a small piece of land left in the western half of the Al Anbar region.
 * Arabia: Although the Persian army easily steamrolls the Arabian one. However, there's huge resistance on the behalf of the locals as they don't want to let the holy cities fall to the Persians because they're Shias.
 * Slovakia: Tells both Romania and Poland that they just want to remain independent. However, if Romania stops with its vassalizing attempts then Slovakia is willing to become a Romanian ally.
 * Ukraine: The Ukrainian army is being overrun by the Romanian one however Ukraine still stands and decides to resist focusing on its defense. The king of Ukraine says the following to the Romanian Queen: 'You invade my country, slaughter my armies and then you dare to expect me to forget all of this and become friends with you? Well no thanks I don't want to associate with such a disgusting person and we shall fight against you until our last breath"(Even before you call me biased I used randomizer and don't tell me that those types of people who fight until the end don't exist).
 * Ottoman Empire: Invades Jordan and since Jordan is weak it gets rekt easily and is annexed into the empire.
 * Greece: Sure we will #### over Cyprus even more if that's what you want. In fact, if you don't show some respect we'll #### you up, too.
 * Lebanon: You're really starting to get annoying. Do you really want to be invaded? Also, stop funding the Syrian rebellion or we WILL invade you.
 * Jerusalem: The Holy Land may not need liberating but I want your land anyway so stop being annoying.
 * Andalusia: What the hell are you talking about? I don't give an utter #### about your stuff.
 * Persia: You're like the worst ally ever.
 * Serbia: The Serbian king responded the following way to Romania: 'Sorry queen but you do not posses the tool that would give me the ability to "suck your dick", and anyways even if you had one I wouldn't be willing to humiliate myself to such extent"
 * Ingria and Karelia: They both get rekt.
 * Basque: Decides not to declare war on Spain as it would be destroyed quick.
 * Catalonia: Declares war on Spain like Portugal asked and is able to take some lands on the border as the Catalonian army caught Spain off guard.
 * Brandenburg: As West German troops capture Berlin chaos ensues within Brandenburg allowing west German and Silesian troops to take over the country.
 * Kola: Refuses to join Finland and prepares for war.
