News! Kind of. 12/31/15 ( HAPPY NEW YEARS! )

So, hey! The forums are about to be updated for the Year 430. Updates this year include personal Budgets, and the option to own/Manage Ports, and also the option to Captain a battleship. Military histories are going to be a tedious project to signify who won/lost, but I'll start adding it in in pieces here and there.

In world news, the Construct of Edo, the Circassian Empire, and the Seven Taureg Kingdoms have formed a Trade Union.

The Kingdom of Russia launched its' Second battleship and as of the year 430, has annexed the Republican Monarchy of Bealaruse.

The Hungarians formed a Navy docked in Rome which is random as shit but could probably come in handy later as the Italians go about their Wars of Unification.

Spain and the Kingdom of the Alps are going at it all out now. Spain has stayed pretty quite since it played a huge hand in the Liberation of Ireland during the Second European War, but as of 428 has been picking fights and seemingly favoring the Italian, North African, Alpine, Croatian alliance as opposed to the Roman, Sicilian, and Hungarians. Started as a war for Corsica, but The Alpine military kicked Spains ass and took a piece of Sardinia. Now the Spanish are at it again now seeking all of the Alpine Kingdom.

The African Union is under stress after Madakaa becomes the African Supremecy of Madika after Burasani Jimbamono's ( 250 - Oct. 27th, 429 ) law is abolished and ( Dagoi ) Antello DuFresti Ogol comes to power and the Second Bantu War begins as Madika invades the Empire of Africa. Empress Africa III, Queen of the Southern Sudanese and Headmaster of the African Union, is currently leading a war against the Northern Sudanese commanding a Fulani Army granted by the State.

Cubana-Canoa ( Basically Cuba ) begins trading this year ( 430 ). Kind of a big deal in terms of American Development. The Dakota Empire as well as the Calimento Empire also join the Cherokee and Apache as trading nations. Cubana continues to fight its' defensive war against the Choctaw, while avoiding a near deleterious war with Empira Castrona ( Mexico ). Cubana-Canoa continues its' advancements by sending a colony to the Hudson bay area inhabited by mostly an Inuit population, under the Governmental claims of both the Inuit Nation, as well as the Dakota Empire.

The forums will be fully updated for the year 431. Please pardon the shakiness as this is a lot of text to keep up with, but I'll get into the swing of it. Meanwhile, please see " Basic History ( 429 - 430 ) for last years, and this years events. And feel free to invite your friends! The more the merrier!
