[quote] A few thousand immigrants from England, France, the United States and Prussia begin to pack up shop and risk making something of themselves in Texas. [/quote] Best part about these immigrants? None of them own slaves. Slave owning population is about to get majorly diluted.

A long apology is issued to the Russians through the foreign ministry. - The Austrian high command decides to disband quite a few military units and declares its army is standing at a “peacetime size”. Though this doesn’t help Krakow, where much of the city is damaged and many of its defenders are dead due to Austrian attack. A few thousand pounds of reconstruction equipment is sent to the city in marked boxes that say “REPARATIONS”, in bold, red letters. - The central government begins funding school related infrastructure projects all across the Empire. Though the main focus is just to construct schools, rather than any educational reform like some other countries have been championing. - Metternich is ousted and all Liberals are heard letting out a huge sigh of relief. Many call on him to be tried and their fellow Liberals to be released from prison. - Funds and scientists begin to research heavy industrial technology and railroad plans. With railroad concepts and test beds beginning to near the end of construction by the end of the year. [/QUOTE] [QUOTE][IMG]http://puu.sh/jzYHP.png[/IMG][IMG]http://facepunch.com/image.php?u=448780&dateline=1432327789[/IMG] [B]Kingdom of Prussia[/B] - Dr. Ethan Asia Economy - Large Military - Moderately Sized, growing[/QUOTE] [QUOTE]- An order that is oversaw by delegates of the Kingdoms of Prussia, Bavaria, Wurttemberg and Thuringia declares that an economic union, dubbed 'Zollverein’, will be formed amongst all the states. All forms of customs are abolished between the states. While no one really knows how this will help any of the kingdoms, many French and Austrian outside observers take notice. -Tariffs on agricultural imports from Austria and northern Germany are increased slightly, this slowly slow downs the import of food but puts more money into the coffers of the Kingdom. Though many foreign farmers don’t know what is better. - Sugar beets, potatoes and turnips are beginning to introduced to Prussian farms. Though it’ll take a few years before they adjust to the climate and soil. The first few seasons are lackluster in their harvest, but Prussian farmers are confident that it will change. If it does, the Prussian agriculture industry will be vastly expanded and, among other things, much more competitive. - Funds and resources are put into building mines and iron smelters in the Ruhr valley. This jumpstarts any iron and mining industry in the area. Though it’ll take a few years to discover anything worthwhile, basic metals and coal are beginning to be mined. Quite a few forgeries open up because of this and many economists are looking into exporting coal. - Trade envoys are sent to the Kingdom of France and Ottoman Empire with the goal of opening trade between the nations. - Negotiations begin in Berlin about a North German alliance between Prussia and the smaller states, however talks are slow due to the fact that many of the smaller states have pledged their allegiance to Austria. - A School of artillery is established in Berlin and attracts quite a few military officers and enlisted soldiers. They learn about various artillery pieces, methods of firing and aiming, etc. Some of the local populace complain about the noise. - Recruitment of soldiers slows down to only a few thousand every few months in order to put a greater emphasis on training and skill building. - Prussian scientists begin researching chemistry and the study of chemicals/metals. Though they only have began to set up centers of research and discovery. Like the rest of the civilized world, Prussia is also researching railways. Though takes much from the countries around it, so by the end of the year, they have a firm idea of how they can build railroads and how to power them.

Political elections are now happening and the 3 parties, The Texas National Party, the American Republic Party, and the newly formed, due to recent events, Texans for Imperialism and Expansion party. [QUOTE]Election Results : National Party: 7 Senate Seats, 15 Representative Seats, most local positions. American Republic Party: 3 Senate Seats. 5 Representative Seats, some local positions, Imperialism and Expansion Party: 4 Senate Seats, 9 Representative Seats, None local. Mirabeau B. Lamar of the National Party wins the presidency, with David G. Burnet winning the Vice Presidency. [/QUOTE] - The Texan army, with the permission of the United States, sends 12 of their most experienced enlisted soldiers to train and study at the American military college of West Point. Large parades are held in their honor before they are sent to learn American tactics and military jargon. - A mandatory week of drilling is set for all military units in order to ensure that they are disciplined and won’t look like trash while fighting on the field. This allows the army to maintain a level of respect among the populace. Mandatory retraining every 3 months is also mandated even at the dismay of battalion commanders. - Construction of mines and logging camps begins to near an end as production begins to start in full swing. Local economics practically boom from all of the new being immigrants attracted to said areas of work. - For administrative purposes, Texas is divided into counties. The larger the county, the smaller the populace, and the smaller the county, the larger the populace. A few special counties are devoted solely for Indian tribes living on them whom have full domestic control over them. However they are forced by the federal government to train a militia of men in order to support the country in war. They do, however, some high-level closed door meetings between tribe chiefs are held quite often. - A treaty with the United States that would form an alliance between the two nations grinds to a halt when the United States is told by the Texan delegation that they must recognize Texan independence for at least 20 years. The American delegation tries their best to brush it aside, but refuses to agree upon that request. - Trade envoys are sent to the Federal Republic of Central America with the task of improving economic and political relations. The political part is quite easy since both sides agree that Mexico must be dealt with, but they are still trying to hammer out a trade alliance. - Spain finally grants Texas trade rights in Cuba, mainland Spain and passage through Gibraltar. - A treaty between the Ottoman Empire and Republic of Texas that would grant Texas the land of Libya and Tripoli, an Ottoman Decree of protection from the European powers, and free trade access to ports. In return, Texas must give the Ottoman Empire grain and meat subsidies, free trade access to all ports, and a promise to not expand in Africa past Libya. Many Texans have mixed feelings about this, as many Imperialist political factions make their debut in this years elections. - Minie Ball research continues, as some engineers begin to make breakthrough advancements in accuracy and velocity. But they are still years away from field testing it. Breech loaded rifles are also beginning to be researched, like many other European countries are. Research should end by the end of next year.

Small factions in Tripoli and Libya begin rioting, but it’s unorganized and nothing major. - Several major military college institutions are formed in major Ottoman cities. Though they are not done finding military professors or staff yet, they intend on emphasizing European style military tactics and warfare. - Military units in Libya are disbanded through honorary discharge. But there are no Texan military units there to quell the violence, so for now, there are divisions in regional government and small riots. - The Orthodox regions of Serbia, Bosnia, Macedonia and Bulgaria are threatened with military action unless they stop conspiring against the central government in Istanbul. One of the governors, specifically the Serbian one, claims that the government tried giving him money to “keep him quiet”. He even goes as far to claim that he will organize an army for a Balkan war of liberation. But that has yet to be seen. For now, most of the populace in the area is beginning to organize meetings amongst each other and rally around their provincial governments. - The Ottoman government begins to enact tax reform, with the hope of making the system much more fair, and profitable. - Ottoman economists and engineers begin to construct factories that mimic European ones, they turn out to be much more productive and profitable than ones in the Empire. Research is also conducted on typewriters. The first prototype leaks ink and rips up paper.

Often, you’d find him training with men on the field or entertaining foreign dignitaries. Many foreign leaders commend him on his friendliness and way with words. - A series of cross-country tours begin as the Shah and his cabinet begin visiting cities, towns and villages. He gives out large sums of money and gold to the people by throwing it into the crowd as people chant the national anthem. He also pours large amounts of his personal money into humanitarian and local work/projects. Regional and city leaders begin to warm up to him. An almost cult like following begins with him. By the end of the year, you either love the Shah as your father, or you hate him. - The Persian government begins laying the framework and finding the money to construct factories. With the main focus of the factories to produce textiles, machine parts, glassware and weapons. The program gets off to a good start as many British and French entrepreneurs heavily invest in the factories. - In a very unpopular move, the provinces go through a reorganizing period which would allow the provinces to be run by a bureaucracy rather than nobles and corrupt officials. Both of which begin to protest the government and begin closed-door talks on how they will deal with it. - Persia attempts to buy mining equipment from Prussia, but the Prussian government blocks the sale, noting that they need it for their industrial efforts. - Talks with central Asian countries begins on forming an Anti-Russian Defensive pact. Afghanistan and Kokand join, however the rest refuse, in fear that the Russian government may have harsh reprisals. The pact takes a lot of criticism from both the British and Russian government. In response, the Russian military moves 15,000 men into the Caucasus region. - Research continues on railroads, and research begins on the Steam Engine. Both of which probably won’t be fully researched by the mid 1840’s.[/QUOTE] [QUOTE][IMG]http://i.imgur.com/GxJRYSF.png[/IMG][IMG]http://facepunch.com/image.php?u=456754&dateline=1439814383[/IMG] [B]Kingdom of France[/B] - Griffster26 Economy - Strong, Large, Growing Military - Large, growing[/QUOTE] - The French military begins construction of a small naval base on the recently acquired island of Qeshm. Construction is finished by the end of the year. - The support of the Liberals in Spain against the Carlists begins to pay off. By the middle of the year, French and Liberal Spanish troops occupy. They sign the Convention of Vergara, ending the war. In total, the French lost around 7,000 men, and the Liberals lost about 25,000. But thankfully for the French, they now have a Spanish ally to their South. For now. - The march into Algeria by the French army continues, but it is still slow and quite deadly for both sides. However, advancements in rifle technology have decreased the French mortality rate substantially, and is quite feared by Algerian resistance. - The French King, Louis Philippe I, forcefully removes the title and crown from the Sultan of Brunei, Omar Ali Saifuddin II. Brunei is now in a union with the French, and a military government on the island is set up to keep control. - French miners are allowed the right to organize unions for the first time. Elections in the unions are quickly held to elect union bosses. They begin negotiating wage increases, healthcare access, and safety regulation. All over France, workers begin movements to allow themselves to have these benefits. By Christmas, thousands of construction workers, bricklayers, and painters march on Paris and many other cities, demanding the right to organize and unionize. - The French government sends an envoy to the Belgian government which begins negotiating a treaty for Wallonia and Luxembourg to become part of a French Confederation, similar to the German Confederation. Belgium is reluctant at first, and negotiations continue, however the Belgian negotiating party begins to show signs of being swayed. [/QUOTE]
