The Emperor finally receives word that demand for Sunyong-Kyrev steel has increased, and as such, he extends his reach to the North-Eastern hills, where he sends several mining parties to discover more mines to exploit.
Seeing as how Agent started a new nation, the Sunyong explorers depart from Nami and head farther up the coast to Soyuzagorsk, where they attempt to communicate with the port locals and authorities their intentions.

Engineers at Karu take advantage of the precision machinery developed by the Serisian industrial research bureau to build 50 rifles with interchangeable components. While the rifles themselves are not innovative, the introduction of uniform, interchangeable components will change Western Coalition manufacturing and Serisian military doctrine.

The Serisian government also sends a request to Kyrev to look into making cartridges that can fire reliably under most conditions.

Kyrev had been independently researching the reliable cartridge for some time, and has arrived, with some help, with the invention of the percussion cap. It replaces the flint and wheels with an all-weather solution that is all around far more reliable. Refit of all current Kyrevan rifles to this standard begins immediately, and all WDC nations are given the research freely.

For other nations, however, this is a tightly controlled trade secret.

im pretty sure you outfitted your own men with 1 musket per 3 men

I made that quip directed to you, not him


Kyrev puts a vote to the WDC to induct their long time allies, Grúzia-Nec, into the Coalition as a member state.


The defensive pact with Washk is re-negotiated to a non-aggression pact, for the benefit of both sides.

Serisian rifles are also converted to use the percussion cap.

The requirement of a reliable close-quarters firearm for the Serisian Diplomatic Security Service and the Federal Serisian Navy creates an opportunity for a Larusian machinist to make her fortune. She designs a revolver mechanism using a ratchet and pawl type mechanism and patents the design. The Federal Serisian Rangers order 1,000 guns for use by the DSS and Ranger cavalry.

edit: re-clarified machinist's gender

Aye on Gruzia-Nec

Scotian engineers simplifies and improves a new type of road surface called Macadam, all new roads are paved this way, as are old ones, allowing for overall easier transport across Scotia

Engineers now focus on improving docks

The outer layer of fortifications at Bresden are completed after a full year, leaving only the smaller inner walls and the delivery of the rest of the cannons, but the bill is paid in full. Truly, it turned out more impressive than even Friedrich Wilhelm had intended. His offhand comments lead to its enduring nickname, the Fortress on the Rhön.

[sarcasm]But how can you do that without the pattern tracing lathe invented recently in Avalonia?  Hmmmmm????!!![/sarcasm]

[sarcasm]You mean like Avalonian pinfire cartridges?  Hmmmmm????!!![/sarcasm]

Vjornsberg returns from his outing to the new provinces to form his library and technical university.

Avalonian sea trade continues to expand, and the Avalonian embassy in Arcon suggests a mutual reduction of tariffs to further encourage trade.

Sunyong muskets are being phased out for percussion cap weapons.

WOULD YOU BE INTERESTED IN A TRADE AGREEMENT WITH AVALONIA
