I gotta be honest, guys.  I am actually finding updating and constantly following this game to be a tremendous consumption of time and attention.  Frankly, I am seriously considering either dropping the project altogether or passing it off to anyone who I

Deputy Chairman Cheng Xiaoistaire introduces a new Anti-sedition law to Caliph Rahim Baytiyyad following an incident involving farmers in the Far Eastern regions demanding more compensation for crops grown. Government soldiers of the 5th and 6th brigades of infantry are sent on an expedition to keep the peace on the frontier and to suppress further unrest.

Soon after Caliph Baytiyyad approves the law, percentage of arrests increases in the regions, and unrest gradually increases, even with the suppression.


A recent stream of deaths from falling rocks on Constabulary patrols prompts some arms industry r&d officers to create metal helmets based on ancient Soli designs. Except lighter. And modern. And comfy.

Samaku Gun Works creates prototype rifling patterns, although they are shelved for the moment. Samaku does however, creates a cartridge with a uniform amount of gunpowder included in each catridge. It's made in paper.

The stream of deaths caused by falling rocks holds steady because soldiers take off their helmets made up of metal when it's hot and they are sweaty

Landon's publishing companies turn a larger profit due to sudden sales of a publication from 1850.  Most seem to be politically avid customers from former Grúzia-Nec, Sunyong, Sonodine and from New Romekate.  Others come from Arcon, Seris and Conservatia.



The many militias that were part of the Arconian Civil War in the Arconian prefcture of New Romekate stage a revolt and take over a small military garrison, stealing many confiscated weapons.  Other militias stage similar small uprisings and retreat back into the populous.  Wearing masks and coverings, they commit their acts disguised and sink back into the civilian populous.

Arcon, with Önecht at as the returning head of state, enters into discussion with former PNP sympathizers and discusses the ideas of other forms of government or rule.  The Arconian militias are organized and placed near the borderlands.  The government releases one statement, "The snakes will go no further."  The new parliament discusses the dissolution of the IAMLF partnership, and dissolves the strategic partnership status set between the two.

Due to massive pressure from the public, many companies in Arcon refuse to do trade with Romekati traders.  The three-volume publication of Romekati culture is ceased entirely.  Although the book is still permitted in circulation, many of the people want the book banned.  Meanwhile, in the Romekati prefecture, the books are burned in massive heaps.



Tensions flare in former Grúzia-Nec, who see the partnership between Kyrev and Romekate to be thoroughly soured by betraying Grúzia.  Gerogians blame the government of Kyrev for not helping enough in the war.  Tensions also heat up in Kyrev, which questions its loyalty to its allies.  Propaganda spreads thoroughly of the "two snakes" of Kyrev and Romekate who set out to carve up Navaida.

i posted about sending arconian militia forces west under the guise of assisting avalonia before i annexed east arcon. the "they take advantage of being in the borders" assertion is invalid. there were no militias stationed in east arcon during the annexation, and new romekate's military is largely focused on dismantling nationalist uprisings in gruzia and east arcon.

then again, considering the mass emigration of georgiens to scotia, i don't think they have the manpower for a successful revolt, so east arcon is the only real threat... and even then. that's land that got plagued by civil war. and besides two cities, it's largely farmland (some of which anglond is managing), with the forts all occupied by romekate forces or just beyond defensibility due to battle damage.

or did all those poorly trained militiamen sent out past the fortified border get equipped with magriders?
