Kingdom of Manchuria; War stories:
King George I of the kingdom of manchuria:
King George I enters in his office and asks one of his servants << Can you please sent those messages? >>
<< Of course my king! >> the servant replied.
<< Thank you. >> the king told.
<< What a hard work is to be a king. King George I said.
Meanwhile Mr. Lee remembered his day in the manchurian war of indepedence and the greatest battle of all. The battle of the manchurian desert.
Tthe manchurian desert:
At 1829 A.D John came back to manchuria. He was a teacher and manchu that had studied in all of europe. He had taken active part in the greek war of indepedence. After the start of the manchu revolution he wanted to come to manchuria but he managed to come 2 years later. He was given order by the democractic revolutionary gonverment of manchuria to take 100 men and defend the manchurian desert from an army of 2,000,000 chinese. He realy liked that. He wanted to create a new Thermopyles in order to unite the manchus, that were divided after the 2 civil wars.
His army was the bravest of the world and had great skills. Lee was part of his army. At the first the chinese attacked but were driven back. The second day the chinese were driven again back. This message saws the horror of the battle:
The rest message is lost. After 7 days of fighting from the 100 manchus 40 men remained and from the 2 million chinese only 1,235,000 remained. The the chinese manage to go at the night behind the manchu army and encircle the manchu army. John sented Mr Lee to go and take a message to the manchu democractic revolutionary gonverment.
After that John and his 40 men managed to stand against the chinese army for 3 hours but they were all killed. The only man who remained from the army was Lee.
Althought after this the european powers openly helped manchuria, the war ended and manchuria is an indepedent nation now , Lee could not forget it. He could not forget his friends and his brother that died in this battle.
Then he stoped thinking and readed the message of the king George I.

Prologue, Part IV
November 26th, 1826Trois-Rivières, Protectorate of the Empire of the French in Quebec
"Sir, reports of artillery coming in; they mean to bombard us!"
Napoleon II grimaced at this news. An artillery barrage could do serious damage and force the New Grand Army to retreat. A Protectorate occupied would Trois-Rivières would be a terrible blow to the Napoleonic Restorationist cause. The strategic importance of Trois-Rivières could not be understated; if it fell it would mean a lot of territory would suddenly become a lot more difficult to defend. The strength of the New Grand Army was that it was practically everywhere; however, this thin distribution of soldiers was also its greatest weakness.
"My Emperor, we must get you out of here; if, God forbid, you are captured or killed, the Restoration is lost!"
"What kind of commander flees when his men are in such danger? No, we will stay here and fight. Here, run up this flag" replied Napoleon II, handing him a folded triangle. The captain of his personal guard took it and unfolded it.
"My Emperor, we can't fly this, they-"
"Put it up, it will inspire the men."
"So, the son of the Corsican devil is in there. This battle is ours, men, the war will be over shortly!" said Lieutenant Mitchell. The runner from earlier came back, and told him the artillery was in position. The men checked themselves one last time. There was a short pause, then a tremendous boom was heard, and a single cannonshot landed in the field between the Protectorate Guard and the city.
"A little short, but now they'll have their range" said Lieutenant Mitchell.
Suddenly, many explosions were heard as the artillery opened up. This time, however, the shots fell even shorter.
Artillery smashed into the rear ranks of the Protectorate Guard, where all the regulars were assembled. Lieutenant Mitchell was stunned as the ranks descended into chaos. He heard a man from another command yell out "Vive L'Empereur". The man was quickly silenced by his officers, but the damage was done. The front ranks, composed mainly of local conscripts used as shock troops, turned on their commanders. Some fired at their former comrades, but most simply broke ranks and fled. A retreat was sounded, and the Protectorate Guard ran. Trois-Rivières remained in Restorationist hands.

Tsar Nicholas I, wish to announce that we will no longer take part in the affairs of Europe. We had entered The European Union in the hopes of building a stronger Europe. The full diplomatic Statement is as follows;
It would seem that the Council of Mutual Defence, is a better alliance if we want to pursue a peaceful and productive future together and recommend other nations join for the peaceful expansion and prosperity we all want, after many decades of wars, civil wars, revolts and other conflicts. Let us all work together for peace for us all.

Alaska, 1834
This just in, King Alexander Pimbluton has died last night, and his quest with him. As the nation morns the loss of our first king, the country is in turmoil as to who succeeds him, as Alexander never left a will. Here are the competitors to the throne: Alexander's brother Nicolas, or his only son Stalin. We (the United Alaskan Press) have made an interview for both of the competitors. Now, here's Marcus with the interviews.
Marcus: Nicolas, what do you plan to do if you become king of Alaska?
Nicolas: Well, first off, I plan on expanding our mighty empire. Not sure where to though.
Marcus: Well then, what do you plan to do about the economy?
Nicolas: I plan to abolish the serfs, and install a voluntary work force, which will please a lot of the population. I also see to it that we make more factories, which will help us in creating a grand army.
Marcus: There you have it then. Possible future ruler to be right there. Wait. I'm just getting word that Stalin has fallen ill. We will conduct the interview with him as soon as he gets better. Good night to you all.

In the 1830s, the King of Benin realized that through aggressive expansion of factories in the cities of Lagos and Benin City, the Beni people had become one of the most productive nations in the world. True, the government was not entirely stabilized and the influence of Benin did not extend very far, but at least they could out produce other nations he decided. It troubled him that some nations had refused to recognize Benin as a serious player in the world stage. Rasists he decided. People couldnt take an African nation seriously. Of course, Kenya and Southrica were helping Benin prove that Africa was not just a hellhole. While Europe squabbled about borders and who would be allowed to survive, the African nations lived in peace. But the King realized that people were going to be coming to Africa soon. Already, Portugal had ignored all requests of the African people and colonized Angola. In Algeria, black Africans were hated by Muslims and Europeans alike and the Algerian government was actually encouraging more Europeans to exploit Africa. But the time to worry about this was not now. In an attempt to expand Benin power, the King had ordered investment into developing areas along the wealthy West African coasts along with more industrialization of the region along the Niger River. Only time would tell if the peoples of West Africa would unite under the banner of African freedom or wait to succumb to filthy imperialists.

Question - do I need to invest more to take over the rest of Great Lakes?
Yes. Each IC you spend will give you a 50% chance of getting a city to join you. So if you invested 1IC this turn, you'd have a 50% chance of getting the rest of the province (1 city left). If you invested 2IC, you'd have two 50% chances to get the city.
I will be updating the rules to reflect this minor change in the mechanics of colonial expansion.
