| - BOTH ROME AND CRIMEA OFFER VENICE AN ALLIANCE.
* Scandinavia expands its military and economy. Nye Norge expands 1100 sq km south and New Georgia expands 1000 sq km onto the mainland since it now occupies the western regions of the island and moves south to connect with Nya Danmark. Ny Norg Stad continues its busy port duties and its naval base in the harbor is expanded. The Viceroy in Nya Skandinavia continues to develop his city in Nyborgia. Scandinavia's influence in Scotland continues to grow. The government secretly supports, as it did in their revolution, the Netherlands.
* Saxony: The Royal University gladly accepts the kind gesture from Bavaria, and constructs an optical microscope, based on the Bavarian's plans. Full credit is given to him for the invention, and the new wing of the university is named in his honour. Saxon Bohemia is officially annexed, and the king tours the new province. A Bohemian Regiment for the Saxon Army is established, officered by Saxons and Bohemians who have proved themselves loyal to Saxony. One regiment is sent North to Brandenburg to assist them with their Baltica expedition.
* Anhalt: The army is improved. Princess Anna tours the principality, listening to petitions from her subjects. Crown Prince Rudolf, however, is too weak to undertake the journey, and remains in the palace. He is still in search of a royal wife.
* Archbishopric of Magdeburg: Being, as it is, a centre of the arts and sciences, Magdeburg also builds a microscope, and the Archbishop, himself, invites the Bavarian professor to visit Magdeburg and give a lecture at the university. Victor, the famous Vicar General, is summoned to the episcopal palace to begin his grooming to become the Archbishop's successor. He is present at all of the Archbishop's masses and also begins filling some of His Grace's temporal duties.
* The Nasrid Emirate expands trade posts in Western Morocco, while work is began to make a trade city in Ceuta based around the palace. The city is called New Qurtubah. The new capital of the Nasrid Emirate is moved to New Qurtubah. Rumors are heard about the rich revolting because of the raised taxes for the rich.
* How can you name your newly-founded city like this when you don't even control Córdoba?
* Because he doesn't have to control a city to name a new city like that? Britain didn't control Rhodes (Island). I asume he's planning to follow the success and power of the Caliphate of Córdoba.
* Venice is unsure whether to support the "Roman" Empire or not. But the Council passes a deal where Venice will lend naval support to the Romans if the Romans relinquish all claims to Europe. Venice continues to fight Greece with Athens falling to Venetian forces at the end of the year and Corinth on the brink of collapse. Venetian troops also seize Thebes and Delphi significantly lowering Greek morale. Troops also move south from Northern Greece with the Greek government evacuating to the mountains in Central Greece. The Doge orders the annexation of every Greek island and plans to set up a vassal state out of the rest of Greece. Thrace is also allowed autonomy with the state regaining control of many of the day-to-day activities. However, Venice remains in charge of their foreign affairs and military. In order to have a stronghold in the area, Venice keeps the key strategic city of Constantinople where reconstruction and repopulation are going successfully. Nuovo Venexia expands 2100 sq km in Cuba.
* Brandenburg pulls out of Baltica because. (Ain't nobody got time for that.) We expand the military. Neu Berlin has finished expansion to the southern coast of Michigan and is now expanding 1900 sq km north along the coast of OTL Michigan. Vinland and Neu Prussen expand 100 sq km each.
* The Mayan Empire expands the size of Kahkin. Haven and Xaman expand north and south, respectively, 1000 km. Tribal religions are on the decline, in favor of European religions.
* The Levantine Kingdom agrees to the previous year's Persian envoy, and begins negotiations with the Shah for an alliance and eventually to spread Levantine influence in the Middle East. Muslim army officials and nobles continue to be rooted out. New Syria expands by 1800 sq km and Rihnad 'Mihyah expands by 200.
* Much more Muslim propaganda continues. Vassal economies grow and they help contribute to the war effort. Military is amped up and more divisions are made and sent to the front against Bengal. It is hoped that the minority of Hindus will be freed from the Muslim tyranny that destroyed Hindu culture for over 100 years.
* Burgundy:After the war doesn't go well, it surrenders the Northern Coast to the Netherlands and withdraws from the region. With this, the war ends with a Burgundian defeat. After this, the king begins preparing his army to mainly defend what's left of Burgundy, and organizes the navy in the Mediterranean. The colonies expand.
