I'm split, here. I'd like to support Protestantism to help Ruskie and the french colonies but don't want to go against Spain. I'm gonna stick to neutrality.

I'm waiting until the Spanish Armada goes belly-up, then see how viable it'll be to declare independence.

Kyrone still has to send in his turn. Along with Ruskie.

SEND THEM IN.

I will do it after guitar lesson |:

Ok doing it now.

I want to let you chaps know this, very, [b]VERY[/b] clearly. When you send in your turn, it will be Turn 24 that you send in. When I post the turn, and you send in your actions, you must label it with "Turn 24" in there somewhere.

India removed from the map. EVENTS OF 1588-1592 -The Orthodox church is moved to Moscow. The move splits the Orthodox religion, with many moving to the Pope (Especially in Poland-Lithuania) or forming their own churches. Nonetheless, the Russians have been mostly united under this church. -Russia and Sweden declare war on each other, with Estonia becoming a football passed between the two. -The pope calls for an emergency meeting between the rulers of all true Catholic kingdoms, dukedoms and counties. He declares that there is a need to stop the bloodshed, and to restore the true faith. -The Holy Roman Empire begins to suffer convulsions as Lutherans, Calvinists and Catholics begin to fight amongst themselves increasingly. -The Neulengbach earthquake causes significant damage and some loss of life in Lower Austria and Vienna; effects felt as far as Bohemia. Some see it as divine punishment. -Japan is finally unified as a single country. -Morocco invades Songhai, and causes the latter to implode. -Hyderabad is founded. -Japan invades Korea, and inflicts devastation on the Korean armies and people. Throughout 1592, they slowly gain much ground in the country. The Japanese and Koreans are preparing for a rather large naval battle which may determine the outcome of the war. -Sweden-Finland and Poland-Lithuania are united under a personal union of crowns. There is debate amongst people if such a union would ever last. Certainly it would terrify the Tsar of Russia. Scientific and technological events. -Early prototypes of the microscope and telescope are developed around this time. -François Viète publishes In Artem Analyticien Isagoge, introducing the new algebra with innovative use of letters as parameters in equations, effectively creating modern algebra. -Trinity college is founded in Dublin. -John Harrington invents the modern toilet and installs it inside his house. -The stocking frame, a device that automates knitting is invented by William Lee. -Giovanni Antonio Magini publishes De Planis Triangulis, describing use of the quadrant in surveying and astronomy, and Tabula tetragonica. -Korean astronomers observe guest stars. (Or supernovas) -An early form of thermometer is invented by Galileo. [img]http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/2/2b/Flag_of_Milan.svg/300px-Flag_of_Milan.svg.png[/img] [b]Kingdom of England and Ireland – Liem[/b] -William Lee is refused a patent for his stocking frame, for fears of the damage it would do to Englands wool industry. -England engages in naval battles with the Spanish. The armada was significantly smaller than was expected, and the English one was larger. The armada is defeated through a combination of poor logistics, and superior English ships and logistics. -Repression continues in England, with Protestant dissidents being arrested now. Parliament complains bitterly against the trading monopolies in place, and unrest continues to rise. -English merchants gain the right to trade with the Ottoman Empire. -English Protestants begin to be sent to Northern Ireland to help solidify English claims. It's not like this will cause any problems for the next 400 years. [b][I]New England – Liem[/I][/b] -The colony manages to smuggle some disguised wagons into Spanish colonies, and have spies set off explosives or one-shot artillery pieces inside them. There is minor damage and disruption in various Spanish colonies. A lot of the spies were captured however due to the counter-spying network of the Spanish. -Letters of marque are handed out freely, and all English colonists are encouraged to attack Spanish shipping. A lot of Spaniards that flee to the coasts are butchered or captured by locals on the coast. -Much further than raids on some trade is not achieved however. -Some colonies are strongly fortified in crude star fort shapes, with heavy artillery set into them to prevent Spanish attacks. -Local native allies manage to start inflicting some damage on the Spanish through raids. A number of fur trappers take pride in looting Spanish trading posts.

Dr Insy.[/b] -The number of parliamentary meeting held increase to sate the demands of the nobility. They begin to exercise greater control in governmental affairs, however rather than going themselves, a number elect lawyers or similar persons to represent their interests. -With the support of the nobility, the king has given up some of his powers, but taxation has been improved. [img]http://www.niggaupload.com/images/n0EQb.png[/img] [b][I]Companhia das Quinas Americanas - Mountainwatcher[/I][/b] -An intense series of hurricanes devastate Florida. -The Florida and Tomini colonies are expanded, focusing into production of spices in the latter. The Portuguese nobility enjoy curry. -A program to provide food for children and pregnant women is set up, mostly taking the form of donating goods and money to monasteries. The monks then proceed to take these people into care and do charitable work. -Cottage industries begin to expand, mostly in the densely populated areas of Brazil with few plantations. -Education is expanded to an extent, with the monasteries being responsible for teaching children the bare basics in Latin, writing a few words and singing hymns. After this, the children tend to drift to farms or to guilds. A few stay in education to later join the clergy, become a physician or a lawyer. -Shipbuilding is expanded, some taking the new English developments into account. -A statue to the Umbraged Uzziyyahs is constructed. -The silly army is sent to the French Governor, farting at various people and sending sheets of parchment with “Denbt $$$” written on them.

It is a crushing blow to the Spanish, who lose even more ground in the Netherlands and France as the Protestant movements strengthen. -Support begins to be given to the Irish, whom seek to overthrow English rule. The other Catholic states of Europe see that this could be a way to weaken England. [b][i]New Spain – Hell Kyrone[/i][/b] -An intense series of hurricanes devastate some of the colonies. -Colonial attempts in North America go rather well, expanding into Texas. -The French colonies begin to trade with the Spanish, despite official embargoes. They eventually have a policy of neutrality. -The cavalry wing of the army is greatly expanded, along with the navy, and despite English attempts, they manage to protect existing colonies from raids. -Naval support is lent to the crown for the invasion of England, which goes rather poorly. -Agriculture and cottage industries begin to expand during this time slowly. [img]http://www.niggaupload.com/images/EKPGT.png[/img] [b][i]The Europa Trade Conglomerate – Canuhearme[/i][/b] -An intense series of hurricanes devastate some of the colonies. -Mercenary companies are recruited by the company and military forces currently used by the company are held back from interacting in the Anglo-Spanish war. -Trade comes under attack by English privateers, but is driven off due to the relative naval power in the New World between England and Spain. -Explorers filter throughout the Midwest, but are impeded by constant English and Indian raids that drive them back. Expansion only continues to the West, where English influence is nonexistant. -The levellers are given more support by ruling authorities, and many common people begin to protest against this move, saying that their ideas would lead to instability and economic ruin. -Otherwise, general expansion and population growth continues. The Sultanate of Brunei is forced to concede to the demands of Spain and become effectively a puppet state. -The Diggers are laughed at, who proceed to set off with a band of other stragglers to set up an ideal colony out in the wilderness away from “Bourgeoisie influence”. -Administrative reforms begin to be carried out, slowly starting to collect taxes, maintain local law courts and infrastructure. Although some complain about this bitterly, seeing it as why they emigrated (To avoid this) they begrudgingly accept the increasing influence of the state. -Privateers begin to be hired to harass competition. -The company tries to seek neutrality with the English and Dutch, but is only moderately successful with the latter.

Many historic structures are destroyed, and the population declines. -Catholic rebellions continue to flare up, with the Protestants moving to quash the insurgencies and to establish the new regimes hold on France. [b][i]New France – Ruskie[/i][/b] -Pig iron begins to be imported to the colonies in significant numbers. -Embassies are set up by the company throughout Europe, hoping to gain influence amongst monarchs. They see the embassies as representing the French as opposed to actually representing the company. -Courts and other such administrative requirements for legislation and the enforcement of laws gradually lead to this company slowly taking on the responsibilities of the state. -17 men are sent to the Guv'nah of Portugal, calling him a “Vehement Vardah”. He gives the men all some candies for coming. -With the strong support for the Huguenot cause in France, the company wins significant support from the crown once it takes Paris. There is still the rest of the country to pacify however. [b]Ecological/Economic/Social/etc events[/b] -With wars going on at this time, along with profound social change wrought by the Reformation and Renaissance, it can be said that most of what one would recognise as modern has by this stage appeared, or is in the process of forming. -Baroque begins to gradually emerge in Italy, partly in reaction to the Renaissance. The new arts, architecture and music begins to reflect this trend gradually. -Colonies are starting to form themselves into states, as they begin to slowly take on the responsibilities of them. -Religious dissent is at an all time high, as the religious wars continue to spill blood. -Printing houses are being controlled more steadily by governments as their ability to influence people negatively/positively through writing has been noted. -The first part of the agricultural revolution is well underway in Europe and the new world. It is characterised by new crops, agricultural techniques, improved communications and wider markets. -Despite harsh conditions, Danish settlers cling onto life in Greenland, and make immense profits from whaling. -Hand shaking becomes more common over kissing, due to syphilis. Wigs begin to become popular due to the disease as well, along with the wearing of hats.
