SNES XII: UberNES 6: Cross and Rifle

It is the year of our lord, 1904.

The world is dominated by religion, from the new "Holy Roman" empire to the Protestant theocracies in America. Only a few nations are free of this yoke, will you be the one to bring them into the fold, or will you use them to free the world?

I will be including a History for each nation, so go further to find that.

Transportation
Navies may carry 2 Armies, after research of Amphibious Assault they may land anywhere, until then they are limited to provinces unfer your control.
Airships may carry 1 Army, though they only have a range of 2 provinces. The soldiers can only be dropped off in provinces you control until the discovery of 'Parachute'.

Subterfuge
Subterfuge, the way of the cloak and daggar. It's an effective thing to do, if you want to undermine your foes and think it's worth the risk. You may do 1 per turn.
You run two risks though: Failure and Capture. They are seperate so you may suceed though you are caught, or escape with a failure.

Assasinate: Costs 50 (Kill foreign leader of your choice)

America

Following the revokation of the Massachusettes Royal Charter independence was declared and after a long, bloody war, the people of Massachusettes found themselves victorious, as much to their own surprise as to anyone elses. They took control of all the northern provinces of British America, and after several wars with Quebec became satisfied with what they held.

The Southern provinces, which had spread into Texas by 1802, finally declared their independence when the British Empire outlawed slavery (1804) with help from the north they managed to secede and form a new nation, the United States.

In 1820, Spain's Empire was collapsing, Peru had won it's independence and fear was widespread that Mexico would follow, in this atmosphere the spanish crown turned the administration of the Viceroyalty over to the Inquisition, this also helped dispell rumors of a heretic amongst the royal family. Within the next 30 years the Inquisition had managed to form a ruling class and had all but declared itself independent. Mexico parted ways with Spain peacefully in 1851.

In 1831 a new religion was born in the middle of the Massechusettes Empire, Mormonism. Though prosecuted the Mormons managed to survive and eventually moved west, forming the nation of Deseret, where they could do as they please. This solution continues to cause problems, as the people of Mass. felt that land was theirs by right and yet lack the force to retake it. THe Mexicans loathe the Heretics, though they likewise cannot take them.

In 1845 Spain sold it's last American holding, the Viceroyalty of La Paz, to the Holy Roman Empire, the Spaniards were unable to maintain order, and rather than face revolution they elected to sell the land.

Europe

In 1648 the Protestant victors of the Thirty Years war began building a new government, having suceeded in overthrowing the Holy Roman Empire. They managed to create a far more efficient confederation, and within 20 years Protestant Germany was a major player on the world stage.

But the humiliated Pope was not through with. In the face of this defeat he declared an end to the Counter Reformation, and began a new crackdown on heresy in areas he controlled. Upon his death a new Pope was elected, Pope Lazarus the First, under his leadership the Vatican sought to become a power to contend with the Germans, and they did so by building a new land empire. By 1703 Italy was enteirly under the Pope's direct control and he was prepared to move into the power vaccume left by the crumbling Hapsburg empire.

The Ottoman Empire was pulled from it's decline upon the fall of the Hapsburgs, solidifying control on the Balkans and even moving forward a bit. Russia won the most, moving forward into Poland and down the Black Sea.

German explorers, by 1746, had established bases in the Pacific, most notably in New Guinea and New Zealand, the German colonial empire, governed from Amsterdam, began to threaten the nations around it, and since the Germans controlled the most traffiked route, through their Boer colonies in S. Africa, the tide of German supremacy seemed to be unstoppable.

Attempts were made, primarily from the Holy Roman Empire, to establish a rival Empire, the Pope purchased the Azores from Spain in order to have a base for his fleets, and soon the Pope had, with the use of his Jesuit army, conqured Borneo and much of Indonesia, they used the Spanish Viceroyalty of La Paz as their bbase, and in 1845 they took control of the colony entirely.

German power was given a kick in the pants though whn tey outlawed slavery in 1789. The Boer colonies, the linchpin of the Empire, revolted and managed to suceed in gaining their independence with British help, the British were granted the cape in return and the Germans were left with the Congo in the Treaty of London which ended the African Revolution.

From the Cape the British began to solidify their own Pacific Empire, through alliance with the Japanese they gained freinds in the natives and using their once penal colonies on Australia soon they had established colonies as far as the Hawaiian islands.

All of this was interrupted by the WAr of Secession, when the British attempted to OUtlaw slavery themselves and were faced with revolution by their remaining colonies in America. With German and Puritan assistance they formed the United States.

The British were left to focus more on their Pacific colonies, but here they soon encountered even more problems, a group of Fanatical Buddhist Monks took control of much of their Indian land, forming the nation of Tibet, despite their best efforts the British were unable to bring the Tibetans to justice and only managed to perserve the southernmost portion of the colony, which regarded the Tibetans as heretical.
