Anakhronismos (Map Game)

2019. A geopolitical mess, saturated with conflicts both notorious and unseen. Superpowers bicker over trade, upstart nuclear hellraisers left unhindered, entire populations murdered. One might want to return to a simpler era. One before wars were fought over trade. One before weapons of mass destruction. One before the births of the murderers and the massacred.

This turned out to be a horrible idea.

1444. A geopolitical mess, saturated with conflicts both notorious and devastating. Great powers bicker over territorial disputes, upstart juggernauts left unchecked, entire populations massacred. Millions wish they could return to their time, after a major anomalous event transported entire nations and peoples six centuries in retrograde.

Events

 * The Event: As of 11th November 2019, all Exiled nations have anonamously been transported to 11th November 1444. Power outages and water shortages occur. The Internet falls into disuse as underwater optic fibre cables are abruptly cut off at the edge of the EEZs of the Exiled. Disoriented planes and ships struggle to find un-Exiled destinations, while a mere handfull of satellites make it into this archaic era.
 * History As We Know It: All events that take place throughout the remainder of 1444 take place without a hitch, so long as they are not within Exiled territory. News does not travel so fast in such eras.
 * Communications: Exiled territories are theoretically able to contact each other via analog radio, or much less likely, via satellite comms. Entities attempting communications will be able to broadcast, however the receiving range is limited, and who knows what you'll find?

The former Special Administrative Region of Hong Kong

 * Government: Former autonomous region, under an emergency government
 * Chief Executive: Carrie Lam (until 20th November 2019/1444); Vacant (since 20th November 2019/1444)
 * Military: Hong Kong is divided up into two 'military' sections, one is the PLA garrison that is based in Hong Kong prior to the displacement (6,000 troops based in Hong Kong) and the other is civilians who become the paramilitary, which number thousands, if not tens of thousands more of them in mind with makeshift weapons. The police also are quite loyal to the PLA and the former government headed under Carrie Lam, which could spark a civil war between the people and what's left of the People's Republic of China.
 * Diplomacy:
 * Ming Dynasty: Despite the Hong Kong government doesn't want to get the attention of the Ming dynasty so far as they haven't been caught up on what happened, the exodus might see many locals becoming confused that many wearing modern clothes (which could either be obscene to them or outright offensive) were wandering with no notice. They could even unintentionally bring the Ming imperial army into the vicinity as well.
 * Outside of Hong Kong: Many of the PLA troops garrisoned in Hong Kong began tuning into other places, hoping that there are signs of those having allegiance to the PLA or the Party itself. They hope to reorganise their military and turn Hong Kong into a typical mainland city (before the Event), despite it being practically useless and that they should've been part of Hong Kong's new military force by now.
 * Taiwan: Many of the Hongkongers head towards the island of Taiwan, hoping that the government comes for Hong Kong, as they are in a dire situation, in exchange for them being settled here.
 * Economy: When the displacement of Hong Kong came, the first thing that came to mind is the full stock market flatlining. The People's Republic of China is no longer there to support the businesses that want to expand internationally, so they got cut off the line as well. With shortage of water and food (there isn't much of arable land through Hong Kong due to its rough terrain and that cities have taken over much of the lowlands) thanks to the displacement, expect Hong Kong to destabilise to the point that a civil war could eventually emerge as part of a survival of the fittest scheme.
 * Events: No, I'm not going to destroy Hong Kong immediately, I'm just trying to do this as "realistically" as possible, since Hong Kong has gone through turmoil.
 * Transferred to a Whole New World: Hong Kong was suddenly transferred without anyone noticing. It has been two months since Hong Kong has started to see protests coming down nicely to the expectations of the Hong Kong government. However, the extradition bill remains in a limbo. But all changed on 11th November 2019 when they were transported back 600 years ago. Initially, all goes well until many realise that their phones got bricked by the lack of Internet access and responses from the outside world being essentially nil. This led to many realising that there must be something wrong, that according to young students, China must've deliberately wiped out power and water supply in the consequences of these peaceful protests that they've made few months ago. But, they realise that this wasn't the reason when they suddenly decide to cross over without a notice, they no longer see the highly-urbanised city of Shenzhen anymore that used to extremely contrast Hong Kong and mainland China, but smaller settlements, which contrast much closer to what Hong Kong would be like, just much more primitive. Mainland Chinese tourists and residents were also quite confused.
 * The Overthrowing of a Corrupt Ruler: Few days after the transportation, these students and most Hongkongers eventually come to the belief that it was a miracle, that they actually got their independence from China from this event (although they weren't aware that there were South China Sea bases that survived the transportation so far, they believe that all of China is just gone and replaced with a primitive counterpart). This had led to many young students storming multiple government buildings to call for universal suffrage to be imposed finally and for "Beijing puppet" Carrie Lam to step down as Chief Executive. By 20th November however, Carrie Lam was suddenly becoming emotional over the events that happen all of a sudden and decided to immediately resign, hoping for the people to be appeased. An emergency government was established soon after, one with no leader, but that is just the beginning.
 * Violence and the Exodus: As December came, Hong Kong was running out of water and food, leading to the emergency government declaring that people must ration out food. This had led to some of the Hongkongers beginning to move up north with buckets and fetching water from the river instead up north of what formerly is China, then going back. December also saw the threat of violence increasing. Since the gang violence in one of the stations back in July, many were wary that this is going to escalate, as democracy is not fully instated thanks to an emergency government that has no centralised leadership, leading to some forming smaller paramilitary groups through Hong Kong to protect themselves from government-hired thugs and even the remains of the People's Liberation Army, which pledged loyalty to the Party still and thus protect the emergency government of Hong Kong. Fishing has started to become a regular occurrence along the ocean, with many boats that are still available being used to catch nets and return home with fish, though are still unaware that South China Sea bases still exist. Then there's also an exodus event. Many mainlanders who were transported were tired of living in Hong Kong and Hongkongers who don't like living in these new conditions have started moving away from Hong Kong in anticipation of a possible civil war. Even though they don't really take notice that the People's Republic of China is gone, they crossed over Hong Kong and into the Ming Dynasty, unaware that they could be captured. They also went by boat and flee all directions, including some Hongkongers to the east who believe that Taiwan is still there and that they could support Hong Kong.

Also the people were scared at first, as sightings of Aztec looking warriors were coming from the borders, and we are starting to try to invade the Aztecs for farming space
 * Attack of Parres: the town of Parres was attacked by Aztec looking warriors, although the raid was ineffective as the civilians had firearms and captured some warriors, which confirmed our hypothesis when some nahuatl speaking scholars helped the military on interrogating them

Republic of Armenia

 * Government: Semi-Presidential Republic (under an indefinitely extended State of Emergency effective from November 18, 2019/1444)
 * President: Armen Sarkissian
 * Prime Minister: Nikol Pashinyan
 * Laws and Policies:
 * Rationing: Strict rationing of food has been implemented, with each person being alloted 1900 calories of food per day. Electricity and running water will also be cut from 9pm to 9am daily.
 * Curfew and Martial Law: A 9pm curfew has come into effect, due to the massive increase in general public unrest. A state of martial law also existed between November 11-25, 2019/1444.
 * State of Emergency: A State of Emergency has been called, allowing the President and Prime Minister full control over the Republic of Armenia. Future elections are suspended for the time being, although President Armen Sarkissian has pledged to try to restore a semblance of normality to the nation within 5 years.
 * Foreign Citizens stuck inside Armenia: As many tourists and expats have been transported through time along with us, we offer them permanent resident status in Armenia, as it is unlikely that we will be able to return to the modern era anytime soon.
 * Capital: Yerevan
 * Economy: The Armenian economy has been rocked by the sudden unexplained temporal displacement event. The country's stock exchange has been hit hard by these unfolding events, with the economy on a downward turn. The communications industry has been hit especially hard, with the Armenian telecommunications industry almost completely decimated. As Armenia relies heavily on outside exports of energy and oil, power shortages have roiled the nation, and large swathes of the country are without electricity or gasoline. The panic of the general population does not help with this grave issue.
 * Demographics:
 * Population: 3,046,100
 * Religion: 94.8 Christian (92.5% Armenian Apostolic,) 0.8% Yazidi Muslim, 0.2% Pagan, 4% None/Other
 * Ethnicity: 98.1% Armenian, 1.9% other (Yazidis, Kurds, Russians, etc.)
 * Military:
 * Armenian Military: Almost all of the Armenian military have made it through the transition through time. The military is now patrolling the borders of the country.
 * Army:
 * Troops: 80,000 troops, 32,000 reserves
 * Tanks: 20 T-80 tanks, 137 T-72 tanks, 8 T-54/55 tanks
 * Other motorized infantry vehicles: 80 BMP-1s, 7-BMP-1Ks, 55 BMP-2s, 12 BRM-1Ks, 11 BTR-60s, 21 BTR-70s, 4 BTR-80s, 145 MT-LBs, 5 BMD-1s, 120 BRDM-2 scout vehicles
 * Air Force: 15 Su-25 ground attack planes, 1 MiG-25 jet fighter, 16 Mil Mi-24 helicopter gunships, 6 L-39 trainer and attack aircraft, 16 Yak-52 trainer aircraft, 3 Il-76 cargo planes, 18 Mil Mi-8 transport helicopters, 10 Mil Mi-2 light utility helicopters, 1 anti-aircraft missile brigade, 2 regiments armed with 100 anti-aircraft complexes.
 * Military Prescence of Other Countries:
 * Russian bases in Armenia: The Russian 102nd Military Base, as well as all its equipment and personnel, have all been brought along during temporal displacement as well. The base is cooperating with the Armenian government, as they have realized there is nowhere else to go, and currently act as a private mercenary company working with the Armenian military.
 * Diplomacy:
 * Literally any other Exiled group: Hello? Hello? Can you hear me? Hello? Is this the Krusty Krab? Uh, hello?...
 * Byzantine Empire, Georgia, Albania, Serbia, Trebizond: Alliance and trade deal? We'll also give you some of our modern technology. The Turks are gonna be sorry they ever messed with ya.
 * Qara Qoyunlu Federation: Hey, big dude. Psst. I need oil. Can I drill for oil in Iraq? No? How about tech and some cash money? What do you say?
 * Aq Qoyunlu, Turkish beyliks, and Timurid Empire: Acknowledge our existence (and please don't hurt us).
 * Ethnic Armenians living outside Armenian borders: Hey, move to this new country that just appeared out of nowhere. You're gonna have the time of your life. We have cool stuff that lets everyone live like your era's nobility. Plus we even speak the same language. Come over. Please. We implore you.
 * Conflicts: N/A
 * Events:
 * Societal Upheaval: Armenian citizens woke up on November 11, 2019 to find massive electricity and gas shortages, a complete cutoff of communications with the outside world, and their country completely on its own. Panic quickly ensued, with looting, suicides, and general civil disobedience running rampant, forcing the government to enact curfew and declare martial law for a time, as reconaissance missions operated with drones scout out the general vicinity to determine what had happened. Reports from said drones showed that the modern world had been completely replaced with the state of affairs during the Late Medieval Era, with historians identifying the time period as sometime in the early or mid-15th century. This only served to exacerbate the panic of the general public.
 * State of Emergency: A state of emergency is declared by the President and Vice President on November 18, 2019/1444, after conclusive and irrefutable evidence had been presented of the temporal displacement of the entire country of Armenia. This state of emergency is in effect for an indefinite amount of time, and all elections are suspended for the time being.
 * Contact with the "Ancestors": Our new geopolitical situation has put us in an even more precarious situation than what we were exposed to prior to temporal displacement. Thus, diplomatic delegations are sent to the courts of royal and noble families of the Byzantine Empire, Georgia, Trebizond, Albania, Serbia, the Qara Qoyunlu and Aq Qoyunlu tribal federations, the Turkish beyliks, and the Timurid Empire. These delegations are accompanied by Armenian diplomats, historians and linguists (especially those specializing in the medieval Balkans, Caucasus, and Middle East), as well as an array of modern technology and an offering of a few pounds of solid gold. It is noted that no delegation is sent to the Ottoman court, with a letter written in perfect medieval Turkish sent instead; the contents of said letter being simply, "F*ck you".
 * Friends?: We offer the Byzantines, Georgians, Trebizondians, Albanians and Serbians a military alliance and defensive pact in order to protect against the perfidious Turk, as well as a free trade deal, allowing goods from each of these countries to be traded in Armenian territory tarriff-free; and a technology sharing deal, equipping our (hopefully) new-found allies with modern equipment, technology, and weaponry should they accept.
 * Petrol Control: The Qara Qoyunlu get hit with an offer they can't refuse (we hope): Let us drill for oil in Iraq in exchange for modern technology, equipment, and arms, military access, infrastructure overhauls of the nation, and a substantial amount of gold. (Just to make sure, we have the delegation sent to the Qara Qoyunlu court have several military and police members armed with concealed guns, to threaten them into submission).
 * Hello? Anyone here?: Daily radio broadcasts sending out the full official name of the Republic of Armenia in both Armenian and English, the Armenian national anthem, and the summary of the general state of affairs in Armenia are broadcasted worldwide, hoping for someone else to recieve the broadcasts to let us know we are not alone in this strange time.
 * Emergency Infrastructure Project (EIP): In order to address the dire issue of power security, several wind farms are planned to be built across the Armenian countryside, and provided Qara Qoyunlu allows us access to the Iraqi oilfields, several oil refineries and oil power plants are also planned to be built. Construction of vertical farms in urban areas, as well as more water treatment plants along freshwater sources (especiallt Lake Sevan) is planned. Meanwhile, citizens are to ration food and water, and power will be cut to the entire nation between 9pm and 9am daily.
 * The Other Armenians: Large numbers of ethnic Armenians exist outside the borders of the Armenian nation. We encourage these “predecessor” Armenians to immigrate and take up service in Armenia, in order to bolster our population and workforce, as well as provide intel about the nations and political situations of this era in history. The government begins sending wandering agents into Armenian-majority areas, telling them of the superior quality of life in this “new Armenian nation” and persuading them to move to our territory.

Vatican City State

 * Background: Jorge Mario Bergoglio, elected Pope Francis in 2013, has led the Holy See and the Catholic world for over 6 years. In the pre-event world, the Pope, while maintaining traditional Roman Catholic views, has been known for his effort to ensure world peace.
 * Government: Theocracy (de jure) | Absolute monarchy (de facto)
 * Pope: Francis
 * Secretary of State: Pietro Parolin
 * President of the Governorate: Guiseppe Bertello
 * Military:
 * Swiss Guardsmen: 135
 * Gendarmes: 130
 * Demographics:
 * Population: 1,000
 * Occupation:
 * Clergy: 71%
 * Laity: 29%
 * Other: 0.01%
 * Gender:
 * Male: 95%
 * Female: 5%
 * Citizenship under residents:
 * Citizens: 25%
 * Non-citizens: 75%
 * Economy: It is an understatement to say that the pope is not happy with the unfolding situation. The economy of the Holy See is devastated. Financial contributions from catholics and tourism, the main sources of income, are nonexistent.
 * Events:
 * First reaction: The Pope quickly assembles all residents of Vatican City. Swiss Guardsmen and Gendarmes are sent to guard all entrances to the Holy See. The few drones that the city-state has are sent to explore the territorry and search for contact. It quickly becomes clear that Vatican City is surrounded by a city looking like medieval Rome. A large crowd of people assembles around Saint Peter's Square. The Swiss Guardsmen and the Gendarmes are told to keep everyone out but only to use their guns if no other option is available. Now, their halberds will scare them off.
 * Creation of the Papal Security Council: The Pope announces the creation of the Papal Security Council, which includes the Pope, the Secretary of State, the President of the Governorate and the Commander of the Pontifical Swiss Guard. The Papal Security Council is responsible for the security of the Holy See and is the de facto government of the city-state.
 * Antipope: The Papal Security Council decides to send some experienced gendarmes disguised as medieval merchants to explore the city surrounding Vatican City. They confirm the intial reports that the city is indeed medieval Rome. They also reveal that Rome is part of a "Papal State ruled by "Pope Eugene". They also report that it seems that Pope Eugene is not in Rome. The Papal Security Council is divided on what to do. Hardliners within the College of Cardinals argue that they should act swiftly and occupy Rome, taking advantage of their overwhelming superiority in firepower. The supporters of a moderate and a wait-and-see policy however still command a majority in the College of Cardinals and the Papal Security Council.
 * Tourist self-defence: The cardinals and the Papal Security Council are also divided on the issue of stranded tourists who were visiting the Holy See at the time of the Event. The Pope and a majority in the Papal Security Council decided to accomodate the stranded tourists in the Apostolic Palace and in the museums of the Vatican and not to involve them in the affairs of defence of Vatican City. Hardliners, however, argue that for the sake of defending the city-state, everyone who could carry a gun should carry it. They propose that the tourists will receive basic military training. The Pope, however, dismisses this idea as infeasible.

State of Israel

 * Government: Parliamentary Republic (elections currently suspended).
 * Background: Prior to the event, incumbent prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu had faced a very strong challenge from the opposition in both the April and September parliamentary elections as a result of government fatigue and corruption allegations. Netanyahu ended up securing a narrow government majority after allying with multiple right-wing and jewish orthodox parties. Not much happened in the following months, with the corruption accusations remaining unproven.
 * Prime Minister: Benjamin Netanyahu (Likud)
 * President: Reuven Rivlin (Likud)
 * Capital: Jerusalem (disputed [by who?])
 * Economy: The Event caused the collapse of the Israeli economy as contact with the outside world was lost and dozens of trade ships and planes suddenly dissapeared. The government quickly confirmed that Palestine was still there, but could not establish any sort of contact with anyone else. Within the first days, looting, riots and massive suicides are reported across the country, with some people thinking it was the end of the world. The military and the police would later intervene to control the situation. Once things had more or less settled down, Netanyahu announced the findings of the scouting drones sent outside the border (see Events section for more details) and said that the country was ready to face this crisis, encouraging citizens to report sightings of "ancient-looking, muslim warriors". This was far from calming for the few investors and companies that had survived, but it was at least known that there was still a world beyond the border.
 * Saving Resources: After this, Netanyahu implemented a series of measures to attempt to guarantee the survival of the Israeli people. First, the maintenance of the agricultural sector (which is huge thanks to technological advances despite the small amount of arable land - 20%) would become the top priority for the government, encouraging the private sector to work on the same goal: keeping a stable food supply. This would allow food shortage to be less severe at the expense of other things. The use of water (which already had issues to begin with) for agriculture would force the government to implement a second measure which is rationing water. Running water is only supplied at certain times of the day (with varying success), urging citizens to acquire water tanks or cisterns to store the vital fluid and only use it when it is absolutely neccessary. Fuel shortage would also become an issue soon. With the government being unable to implement a proper solution due to the lack of a stable oil supply, people are simply being encouraged to reduce their car use as much as possible. Resupplying of fuel, if any, is prioritzed for essential services such as ambulances, fire trucks and police.
 * Military: The Israel Defence Forces are responsible for maintaining peace and order. Due to the constant conflicts with its neighboors, Israel had built a formidable military, spending over 5% of its GDP on it. This should allow us to have some advantage compared to other exiled nations, however, there is one major issue: the lack of oil. This is why the tasks of vehicles that required large amounts of fuel are reduced for now, saving them for future operations instead. The Navy is currently stationed in our ports and it hasn't ventured into the now unknown waters yet. A lot of the reserves are quickly mobilized into the active forces.
 * Israeli Army:
 * 215,000 active personnel
 * 300,000 reserve personnel
 * 2,760 combat tanks
 * 6,541 armore fighting vehicles
 * 650 self-propelled artillery
 * 300 towed artillery
 * 150 rocket projectors
 * Israeli Air Force:
 * 30,000 active personnel
 * 55,000 reserve personnel
 * 253 fighters
 * 18 transports
 * 153 trainers
 * 96 helicopters
 * 48 attack helicopeters
 * Israeli Navy:
 * 9,500 active personnel
 * 10,000 reserve personnel
 * 3 corvettes (Sa'ar 5 class)
 * 8 missile boats (Sa'ar 4.5 class)
 * 5 submarines (Dolphin class)
 * 45 patrol boats
 * 2 support ships
 * Events: 
 * Initial reaction:  One of the first actions of Netanyahu's government was declaring a state of emergency until further advice. The emergency also includes the suspension of new elections, an action criticized by the opposition. However, the Knesset (the legislative body of Israel) is still working normally and excercising its usual powers. Netanyahu made it clear that the government will try to end the state of emergency by the next scheduled national elections. Huge portions of the military reserves were moved into the active forces and dispatched across the cities in order to maintain control. Foreign citizens stuck in the country are granted temporary asylum until contact is made with their home countries, something now considered highly unlikely. Foreign troops are given the option to participate in military operations if they wish to do so. People are also encouraged to use the radio to keep themselves informed and to communicate between them.
 * Scouting the area: As there is an urgent need to know the reason behind The Event, a scouting operation is launched to explore the world outside our borders. The mission is exclusively performed by drones since hostile environment was expected, and to not use vehicles that require fuel. The drones find almost nothing near the borders. Nevethtless, they are able to take pictures of a strange-looking group of men walking in the desert. A drone would reach what was suppossed to be the Egyptian city of Al-Arish later on, only to find archaic structure and people. It is worth mentioning that at least half of drones (~20) in this operation were lost due to battery or malfunctioning issues, although a few of them dissapeared without an apparent reason. The revelation of these images only increased the confusion anong the executive and military commands, deciding to call the nation's most prestigious historians and academics after discarding multiple theories. The team of historians concludes that both the city and the group of men belong to an old middle eastern islamic state. This fires the government's alarms, prompting the creation of a war plan.
 * Trump Heights incident: The first contact with the ancient strangers is made after a group of them clashed with Israeli military forces in the recently-named Trump Heights (located in the Golan Heights). The strangers wore an armor and did not have any firearms. Instead, they had Mameluke swords. They were quickly gunned down, although 1 of our soldiers was injuried. The clothes and the weapons wore by the strangers would finally allow historians to identify them as Mamluks.
 * War preparations: As the drones so far indicate that we are completely surrounded by what appear to be mamluks, multiple defence protocols are activated. Troops are placed on the border along with our best intepreters of old arabic (if not, just regular arab speakers). Although they are told to attempt communication, it is expected that the Mamluks will turn hostile, so the military is told to prepare to fire if they do antything weird. Artillery is also placed near the borders. The Air Force keeps its involvement to a minimum to avoid wasting fuel. Aircraft shall only be used if absolutely necessary.  The borders with Palestine are also being heavely monitorized.
 * Diplomacy: 
 * Satellites: We attempt to scan for possible satellites one more time, hoping to find something. Other than interactions with Palestine and this, no diplomatic actions are performed, with the government focusing ob defending against the strangers instead. Ambassadors were told to contact their home countries during the first days of the incident, but all attempts to do so have been futile so far.
 * Palestine: We ask for a temporal truce for our conflict since since continuing it would only cause further destabilization for both of us given the current circumstances. However, we make it clear that we will retaliate if they perform any sort of attack.

State of Japan (pre-Incident) | Shogunate of Japan (post-Incident)

 * Government: Unitary parliamentary constitutional monarchy, under a state of emergency for an indefinite amount of time effective from November 11th, 2019/1444.
 * Emperor/Shogun: Naruhito
 * Prime Minister: Shinzo Abe
 * Capital: Tokyo
 * Laws and Politics:
 * Declaration of a National Emergency: With the Incident, Prime Minister Shinzo Abe has declared a state of emergency in Japan. People are encouraged to use as little water as possible and it is recommended that in order to conserve food, men eat at most 1,800 calories per day and women 1,300. For drinking, it is recommended to drink one cup of water when the need arises, e.g. when you are thirsty. The government also encourages the people to use as little electricity as possible, but the charging of smartphones is also allowed as to help people receive emergency alerts directly from the government.
 * A New Shogunate: Due to the current national emergency, Emperor Naruhito and Prime Minister Abe have sought fit to revive the title of 'Shogun,' granting it to Naruhito. Shogun Naruhito now has absolute power over the entirety of Japan until the national emergency has ended.
 * Economy: When the Incident hit the Four Prefectures, the first thing that had happened was a full collapse of the stock market. The People's Republic of China nor the United States are no longer there to import petroleum, natural gas, etc. from, nor are they there to export Japanese goods to. Many businesses based in the displaced land had essentially zero business, and collapsed within days, with many of the now vacant offices and buildings being taken over by the government and converted into vertical farms as to help sustain the population.

 * The United States Forces in Japan: Many of the American soldiers apart of the USFJ have joined the main Japanese military, realizing they have no where else to go unless they want to die in a foreign land filled with many possibly hostile nations.
 * Japanese Army (Teikokugun): At the moment, the Teikokugun has been severely limited in its capabilities as many Japanese soldiers were stationed outside of our transported land. It currently consists of:

 * 5,000 reserve soldiers
 * 63 fighters
 * 52 attack aircraft

 * Events:
 * "The Incident" (Jiken, 事件): Due to the Incident, and for an unknown reason, the Saitama, Kanagawa, Tokyo, and Chiba prefectures have been transported back in time. In order to ascertain our position along the world's timeline, we have sent agents out to the other daimyos (see Reconnaissance in the Uesugi Daimyo). The four prefectures had decided it best to unite under one government instead of falling into anarchy. They have come to be known as the "Four Prefectures."
 * Reconnaissance in the Uesugi Daimyo: Reconnaissance agents are sent into the neighboring province to scout out for weaknesses and knowledge of 'the Incident' in the daimyo of Uesugi. The agents are dressed in contemporary artisan clothing, as to avoid suspicion. The knowledge of the presence of modern Japan should be ascertained by these agents to see how much the daimyos know of modern Japan, along with the exact year that we have been sent to.
 * Attempts to Make Contact: Using JAXA buildings located across our owned prefectures, including the Earth Observation Center in Saitama and other nearby radio centers, our scientists have made attempts to make contact with any satellites that may possibly exist. Much of our stored electricity was used during this, but the potential rewards outweigh the risks.
 * Lack of Arable Land: As Tokyo and its surrounding regions are heavily urbanized, there is a severe lack of arable land. Due to this, terraced rice paddies in the rural and coastal areas of Chiba prefecture and vertical farms in the urban centers of the Tokyo metropolis have been confiscated from private ownership and have been put in the hands of the government, and thus federal food scientists and nutritionists. Together, they are looking for ways to increase crop production while reducing costs, money-wise and resource-wise.

Republic of Belarus

 * Government: Unitary presidential republic""
 * President: Alexander Lukashenko
 * Prime Minister: Sergey Rumas
 * Capital: Minsk
 * Economy: In 2019, Belarus' economy was 77th (nominal)/69th (PPP) in the world, but being sent back to 1444 did not help it one bit. It is on the brink of collapse, so the government is trying as hard as it can to save it.
 * Events:
 * A whole new rocky ball with an atmosphere and water: Before the Event, Belarus had hosted the 2019 European Games in Minsk earlier in the year. However, while it had been successful, the economy weakened because of the money spent on the event. To help it, they signed the document that sent them back to 1444. While Belarus is still like it is in 2019, it is unknown how long it will stay this way.

Events

 * Skanderbeg: Albanian military leader Skanderbeg, present in the Hungarian Court during the Event, returns to an entirely different Albania. He is wholeheartedly welcomed as a hero for something he has yet to do, however he manages to play out history as it was, with some slight alterations as his soldiers wielded ASh-82s and AK-47s. The Ottomans stood no chance whatsoever.
 * Ming Things: The presence of Hong Kong has come to the attention of the Ming Imperial Court after a few weeks, with Ming forces moving to the perimeter of the Exiled territories on standby. It is noted that at some point, a few Hongkongers were present before Emperor Zhu Qizhen, explaining to him of the situation, and providing some historical facts here and there to gain his trust. The Emperor, aware of the events that will take place as well as observing them first-hand, has installed them in his court.
 * A Gibraltar Brit in the Avizian Court: After the capture of Gibraltar by the Portuguese, several people have requested an audience with the king of Portugal for autonomy in exchange for teaching the Portuguese of their future as per history and provide them with modern technology.
 * The Parres Exchange: A few Aztec warriors enter the town of Parres and are perceived to be people in costumes. They are ridiculed by some Mexican folk, however they are invited for dinner by an elderly couple who  are brutally murdered who treat them to some hot food. Bewildered and grateful, they return to their tribes, but come back the following morning with some maize. The locals of Parres are perceived to be less of a threat, despite the difference in languages.
 * A Tale of Two Popes: Pope Eugene was not within the boundaries of the Vatican during the Event, and was startled to come back to a non-vacant St. Peter's Basilica. Pope Francis himself invited Pope Eugene into the City, along with a contingent of a few troops. After a few cups of tea, the Pope managed to convince the Pope that the Pope was the successor of the Pope himself, and that both were legitimate Popes at the same time. Pope Eugene has come to an agreement with Pope Francis, calling for a dual-papacy in which both would be recognised as Popes.
 * The Minsk Affair: Upon the Exile of Belarus, the head of the Lithuanian kingdom was effectively cut off. Lithuanian and Polish forces moved to invade this foreign presence, but spared the nation of a full-on war after encountering ethnic Poles in western Belarus. Casimir IV Jagellion arranged to meet Alexander Lukashenko in Minsk. One thing led to another, and due to bloodlines, ancestral loopholes and such, the legendary would-be king is now in running to become the President of Belarus.
 * Mamluk Proclamation: Sayf ad-Din Jaqmaq, Sultan of the Mamluks, has reportedly made contact with the Palestinians after hearing them yell "Allahu akhbar" during a confrontation. So far, a few members of Hamas have somehow gained the trust of the Mamluks, funneling them truths about their conflict with the Ottomans and unconfirmed lies about the Israeli state.
 * Communique: Communications between Exiled states have been officially established, with most populations having a least one analogue radio or similar set-up in their households.
 * Elon Musk, Man of the Century: Over in Los Angeles, Elon Musk provides assistance along with his companies to restore GPS systems at El Segundo Base. It should be noted a few navigation satellites were Exiled, and are the main focus of this operation. In other news, 4 Israeli television satellites have been identified to have been Exiled.

NPC Turns

 * Taiwan: A few Taiwanese coastal patrol craft arrive in Hong Kong, claiming they found a few Hongkonger refugees and no bustling skylines on their way there. Radio comms have been established. The Taiwanese administration has requested for cooperation with the Hongkongers to meet energy and resource demands such as water and rations.
 * Palestine: They agree to the truce with Israel.
 * Byzantium: They are astonished by the words of the Armenians, and decide to trust in a fellow Catholic against a perfidious Turk.
 * Georgia and Trebizond: They remain fairly confused by the sudden appearance of modern Armenia, but eventually agree to work with a fellow Catholic brother rather than be intimidated by a perfidious Turk.
 * Albania and Serbia: Given that Albania was also Exiled, they have made contact with Serbia already. Both agree to work with Armenia, given that Albania has warned Serbia and Skanderbeg of the history of the Ottomans and the perfidious Turks.
 * Castile: They agree to the Portuguese proposal.
