| - From Wikipedia: "In France a sequence of extremes included a surplus harvest in 1785 that caused poverty for rural workers, accompanied by droughts and bad winters and summers, including a violent hailstorm in 1788 that destroyed crops." Sorry if I don't get it, but my English is not so good as I would like it to be, and I'm not sure what "surplus harvest" means. In my dictionary, it seems like an excess of crops, ergo, extra food resources to trade and consume, but may be I'm wrong. Someone could give me a definition? Yes that definition is correct. Then that is abundance. How could it cause poverty? Because they had an idiot for their king who was completely out of touch with the peasants. He raised taxes because he thought they had oh so much grain. Trust me I have studied the French Revolution and the events leading up to it extremely well as part of my History classes But now there is a different king, and he haven't raised the taxes (by now, at least).
*
* Bavaria already declared independence in a previous mod post.
* Oh, sorry. I'm just confused to how a surplus could cause poverty for the farmers, wouldn't that make them richer?
* The Vietnamese have made the Scots a client state of their Empire. That means Scotland needs to be coloured with Vietnam's client/vassal state colour and not grey.
* Persia, deciding to take advantage of the situation in India, declares war on Bharat. They crush the armies due to the weakening by the famine. The policy of industrialization continues. The control of the Amazon increases and new settlements are popping all over the place. New Tehran expands by 40x10 sq. mi. The region is now a producer of textiles and other consumer goods due to the cash crops, communities, and factories established there. it asks Russia to but Kazakhstan for ten billion rubles. The industrialization and modernization of Persia continues, as they ask Russia for technical assistence. Gold is discovered in the northern part of OTL Brazil, flocking immigrants from Persia to the region. New modern ports are being built all over the coasts of Persia.
* You only border one Indian state, and there is only really one independent one left, with it having two vassals.
* Sweden sends supplies to Persia from Swedish India and asks to obtain a chunk of Bharat and its vassals.
* Persia agrees.
* Naples continues to prepare its military, eyeing the Malay nation in the far east. Yet they have a greater threat, developing under their own noses. Istoias expands 2000 sq km, sending more resources back to Naples, helping the Neapolitan economy and encouraging more industrialization. Naples sends word to France that they don't want France to rule over any parts of Lombardy historically Italian, but the French western parts will cause no conflict. Meanwhile, in Ricasolia, a slave named Tranio Oyolia escapes from his master, but instead of hiding out in the jungles among the tribes like normal, he begins to sneak around with sympathetic natives, freeing more slaves, a few of whom join his group, known as I Liberatori (the liberators).
* The UAA sends military support to Italy, to help Naples. Also, if you conquer most of Italy, then I recommend Naples changed to Italy.
* Naples isn't attacking anywhere now, they are preparing for a war in the future.
* The Vietnamese and Taiwanese continue expanding their military to prepare for the upcoming war in Morocco. The Vietnamese volunteers, working with Scottish soldiers, manage to expel English forces from Scotland. They manage to advance to the ruins of Hadrian's Wall, which they start rebuilding to create the new defensive border between Scotland and England. The finished wall is to be a somewhat downsized replica of the Great Wall of China. The Vietnamese authorities officially found a new Scottish government, which is a semi-independant client state of Vietnam. Most Scottish citizens celebrate the old regime's end, as it had been a corrupt oligarchy run the exiled Swedish "republicans" who founded Scotland. The Emperor dies suddenly in mysterious circumstances without an heir. The Vietnamese search for a relative to take the throne of Vietnam. They discover Ba Mai Nguyễn, who was previously a minor countess in the colony of New Vietnam. She, as the closest relative to the Emperor, is the heir to the Lotus Throne. She accepts the crown and she is crowned Empress Mai II in an elaborate ceremony.
* Spain's player, ManofSteele, was going to propose a division of Morocco between Vietnam and Spain. He returns in a week from his holidays.
* Vietnam has a much stronger claim to Morocco than Spain is, if they can conquer it before then I don't see why they should have to wait for someone else when they are doing all the work.
* Spain is right above Morocco and I doubt that you will get 33% on your own. If Spain led the conflict their stability value would win easily. Also I will not allow Vietnam to engage in any wars until I get a definite answer on the stability start year.
* It's official now. 1785.
* The United African allies, after a series of trades with the nation of Kongo, manage to add it to their sphere of influence (though it refuses to join the UAA).
* France builds up its military. The Parliament decides to give the annexed part of Lombardy to Burgundy as a gift, now that it is a kingdom in direct union with the Emperor. The Emperor asks permission to the chancellor of Sweden to rise his title from "king of Sweden and Denmark" to "Emperor". He approves the sweidhs support to Persia in Bharat and sends some troops from France and Edessa-Antioch to get a piece of the cake. Meanwhile, the exiled Djem proclaims himself "Caliph-in-exile" or "Caliph of Songhay", where the direct confrontations between two factions are very common now. These factions are the parliamentaries and Catholics in the coast, led by the Order of Saint Robert, and the Islamic Djemist army, led by Djem and his supporters. The Caliph asks the Parliament to call Djem before justice and execute him. but the Emperor (head of the judiciary power) doesn't consider him a menace. The regency council of Algeria does send some reinforcements to the Parliament's faction in Songhay. France asks again Iceland to join it. The Emperor is glad with the new state of the French economy, and he moves the court to Paris again. But he refuses to give up the direct control of the colonial militias.
* Since Iceland, having formerly been controlled by Detective Kenny, is under his control you'll have to wait for him to return to be able to get a response.
* The crops continue to fail, although the phenomenon is not so widespread as in 1784 .Communication with the colonies continues closed off, and efforts to rebuild the cities affected by the floods are made. Meanwhile, Greece continues to send help, although limitedly. Neos Preveza expands 2750 sq km.
* Contact between Cymbria and Itsaygahi is re-established. There is a combination of horror and relief at the outcome of the two-year isolation. Relief at the survival of Cymbria as a functioning unit, horror at the excesses of the Levelling and the establishment of a truly Classist radical state. News of the success of Cymbria despite floods and poor harvests reaches Itsaygahi and fans the Natchez riots into a fire. The other former tributary provinces also burst into revolution, as does the Chartered Gulf Province. The Second Itsaygahan Civil War has begun.
* Nippon's agricultural sector begins to approach its pre-famine levels of productivity, thanks a lot to more plantations being founded in Satotochi as the colony expands by 800 sq km. Furthermore Nippon continues to expand into Karafuto as the Karafuto Reclamation war continues. Finland is thanked greatly for all the aid it sent too. (when is this blooming war gonna be over mods and mapmakers? It's former Japanese warlords so I'm sure some of them would join the Nipponese side and its been going on for eight years. Is the end in sight? VonGlusenburg (talk to Von!) 11:16, January 21, 2012 (UTC)).
* You could have finished it six years ago =.=
* Didn't you here me when I repeatedly said you could do it in only one or two years?
* Yeah, I saw all that but the map was never updated to show the expansion taking over the island so I thought I had to wait longer. Should I just edit the map to show most of Karafuto under Nipponese control and end it next year?
* I will add it in 1790. You can end the war in 1785, if you want.
* I've changed the 1785 map to show most of Nippon controlling Karafuto, the war ends next year and all of Karafuto will be Nipponese on the 1790 map. Otherwise it looks weird how in one year I go and conquer all of Karafuto when it took me eight years to take that little bit.
* Finland continues to build up their military, and continue to build and improve some infrastructure and continues industrialisation. Finland also expands Hyvinkää 250 km inward and expands Kōshi by 250 km. Some farms begin working again, though its not saying much. All Shinto shrines that had been damaged are repaired. Meanwhile, Finland establishes plans to take down the Maluku Islands (the ones that are in grey, that is) but won't fight it just yet.
* Burgundy is responsible for managing the area of Marseille as more autonomy. The Chancellor of Burgundy declares war on Lombardy and popular support (from the French zone) starts moving by small French-speaking peoples, trying to take Milan. The economy begins to rise due to the "war economy" and seems to have good results, but the Chancellor is concerned about the economy after the war of Lombardy. Industrialization moves, but at a slower pace and there are many expenses to try to improve it, in vain. The Chancellor will visit the "Mother Country" (France) to discuss the future of Marseille and the possible idea of following the Swedish industrial model in all parts of the Empire.
* Naples demands that Burgundy cease to attack Italian-speaking areas. Burgundy can take the French-speaking areas, but moving into the Italian-speaking areas such as Milan will result in war with Naples.
* There is no necessity of war. The French-speaking areas already joined Burgundy, so if you declare war on Lombardy you are attempting to take the Italian-speaking lands, and I just can't allow it.
* Yemen expands on his Somalian colony by 800 sq km.
* The rest of England is forced into submission as Sweden and England sign a treaty binding England to Sweden in an unequal diplomatic union. Sweden is barely able to produce a crop but with French supplies the Swedish people are well fed this year. The Swedish military expands. Asgard and New Sweden claim new coastal areas totaling 1550 sq km and Wunderlaand expands to the limit. Fjordlaand extends its northern border by five px along the entire border.
* Turan forces convicts to populate in Greenland. The Turkish colony expands by 800 km2.
* Russian Tsarina accepts the Evenkian government's proposal and annexes it, giving it the status of a "special guberia" for 20 years, it gives the evenkian council the power to nominate a person for the position of Governor, and the power to remove the governor. Russian Settlement of Siberia continues. the Famines of the Volga are better than last year.
* China gives more aid to its affected allies. In mainland China, the trans-coastal railroad is continued, connecting many cities with each other. A Chinese scientist develops a new, more efficient locamotive. In America, China expands its colony purchased from the Commonwealth by 3800 sq km south.
