Now, people should spam a little more so EQ can get (or get close enough to) the top of the next page.

WAR IN EUROPE EXPANDS ACROSS WORLD. What started as a regional conflict between powers in Europe has quickly turned into a global war. The Venetian Pact has engaged against the Allies of Austria and Britain in a major conflict. See SPECIAL section below for more details.
North/Central American News Report
SLAVE REBELLION IN VIRGINIA. Richmond, Virginia. As Virginian military forces march to face Carolina in battle, at home a new threat has risen. A slave known as Nathaniel Turner has led a group of slaves in rebellion against plantation owners. After a hundred day rampage, the rebels were suppressed thanks to the arrival of support forces from Maryland who hunted and destroyed the Negro rebels. However, this has dramatically increased racial tensions in the nation, and Virginia in response has levied heavy taxes on importing slaves directly from Africa.
NOVA SCOTIA ELECTIONS. Halifax, Nova Scotia. The Whig Party continues to achieve significant successes in elections as President Peregrine Maitland wins reelection as executive leader of Nova Scotia. Two major issues predominated Nova Scotia over the election campaign, namely the war in Quebec and the proposed Maitland Doctrine, which would provide more tolerance throughout the nation. Though resisted by conservatives, Maitland’s victory in the elections has led to the Declaration of Citizens’ Rights, modeled after those of Pennsylvania and Canada. Not as liberal as those two nations, the new
Declaration nonetheless is a new step on the road of tolerance for Nova Scotia.
INVASION OF HAITI. Port-au-Prince, Mexican region of occupied Haiti. In response to the Boyer regime’s acts of piracy against the slave trade, a coalition of nations has united to end the Haitian threat. Elements of the armies and navies of Brazil, Mexico, Portugal, and Carolina have all united. Spanish forces have also been deployed, though not directly connected with the coalition. Overwhelming numbers of the invaders has resulted in the Haitian military retreating into the mountains along with the President. At sea, the Haitian navy has been destroyed by a Portuguese squadron, though a Portuguese Man-o-War was sunk in the fighting. Now the invading forces mass along the coast to begin a push inland.
Casualty List
Portugal: 1 Man-o-War
Haiti: 3 Frigates
PLEBISCITE HELD IN FRANKLIN. Jonesborough, Franklin. After heated debate on whether to merge with one of their neighbors or two retain an independent course, the people of Franklin have come to a decision. The Franklinians have agreed to apply for admittance into the Republic of Kentucky. Sharing similar ideals and brotherhood in arms against Carolina in the 1830 war, Franklin is set to be annexed by Kentucky in 1834.
WAR IN NEW ENGLAND. Boston, Massachusetts. Early in the year, a plebiscite was held in Rhode Island, Massachusetts, and New Hampshire to determine a popular consensus on establishing a united New England nation. Such a move was victorious in New Hampshire and Massachusetts, though it was defeated by an incredibly small margin in Rhode Island. Less than a month following the plebiscite, Connecticut forces invaded Rhode Island from the sea, quickly occupying the small nation. Massachusetts was quick to declare war on Connecticut, soon followed by New Hampshire. The Massachusetts navy was quick to secure control of the seas, forcing the Connecticut ships to retreat behind the protection of coastal forts. However, on land with few regions to fight in, the war has become stalemated. Both Connecticut and Massachusetts have mobilized and called out the reserves, as both sides prepare for a decisive battle.
TENNESSEE-GEORGIA WAR CONTINUES. Savannah, Georgia. Despite calls for peace from Carolina, France, and Virginia, war has continued in Mississippi Territory. Georgia has called for mobilization and conscription from the populations of Atlanta and Savannah. Furthermore over the winter of ’30 and ’31, the Georgians gained a new ally, the Kingdom of Spain. Spanish forces launched an offensive up the east bank of the Mississippi River in mid-April, threatening Tennessean supply lines. Fighting in Mississippi Territory has reached a new level as opposing Tennessean and Georgian militias fight guerilla conflict in the form of bushwhacking and marauding. The Battle of Birmingham would be the first major battle of the war as the Tennessean armies met with a Georgian reservist army in a confused fight east of the city. The Georgians were defeated and the Tennesseans under General Crockett marched east. In order to relieve their ally, the Spanish turned east and discovered that General Crockett had turned west. A battle would be fought in the “Wilderness” of Georgia, leaving the Spanish victorious and Crockett sent northward. The combined Georgian and Spanish forces then besieged the Tennessean southern army in Birmingham. Attempts to relieve the city failed, and the Tennesseans continue to hold against the Georgian and Spanish siege.
Casualty List
Georgia: 1 Reservist Division
INVASION OF CAROLINA. Charleston, Carolina. With the Carolinian fleet away at Haiti, the Army of the Appalachians and the Army of Southern Virginia under King Robert have advanced south into Carolina. Faced only by militia, the Virginians have easily destroyed Carolinian defensive positions along the northern border. With the Carolinian militias scattered and disorganized, little resistance has arose to prevent the Virginians from seizing most of the former United States state of North Carolina.
INVASION OF QUEBEC. Quebec City, Quebec. Canadian and Nova Scotian military forces have invaded a large part of Quebec. With few regular military forces, the armies of Quebec have been forced back. The Canadians were stopped just short of Montreal with the arrival of French regulars who easily halted the advance. The Quebecois have been hindered by a major rebellion by the Mohawks in the north, who have pledged allegiance to Canada. The French have arrived in force along the coast, enforcing a blockade of Nova Scotia in retaliation for the invasion.

Grey has even gone so far to denounce the coalition’s efforts in Haiti to “restore the abominable institution of slavery.”
AGRICULTURAL REFORM IN DENMARK. Copenhagen, Denmark. As part of ongoing reforms since the end of the Napoleonic Wars, the Danes have finished reorganization of a large part of their agriculture. Space has been used more efficiently and crops are maintained regularly. The new organization program has enabled an economic growth within the Danish production. (+1 Private Enterprise)

POLISH REBELLION. Despite successes in 1830, Polish rebels continued to agitate throughout the year. With the deployment of almost a hundred thousand Russian soldiers to the region, the rebellion came to an end. However, several divisions were forced to remain behind to maintain order.
BATTLE OF VIENNA. With the arrival of Russian reinforcements, Prussian military forces launched a rapid campaign into Bohemia, catching the Austrians off guard. Prague was easily captured after a minor battle and a rapid advance began southward. The arrival of Bavarian reinforcements and troops from Transylvania allowed Austrian forces to halt the Prussian armies just north of Vienna after a major battle involving nearly three hundred thousand soldiers. Though they faced an Austrian army in a easily defendable position, they forced the Allies into a stalemate. Only reports of British entry into the war forced a Prussian withdrawal to deal with the threat from Hanover. Despite the “retreat” Prussia maintains control of Bohemia and Prague.
Casualty List
Prussia: 1 Infantry Division
Russia: 1 Infantry Division
Austria: 2 Infantry Divisions
INVASION OF THE PAPAL STATES. Sardinian military forces under General Cialdini have won several minor victories against the forces of the Pope and occupied much of the northern section of the Papal States.

BATTLE OF BERLIN. Britain’s entry into the war was quick and moderately expected by August when the forces were finally assembled. A series of major engagements were fought as British troops from Hanover advanced rapidly upon Berlin. The king and his family evacuated the city as British artillery opened fire.

BATTLE OF RIGA. A major naval battle has been fought between the two great fleets of Britain and Russia. Russian forces, prepared for a British offensive through the Baltic Sea, to await the arrival of the Royal Navy. However, Riga was the first target for the British. The Russians were forced to meet the British in open naval battle. Furthermore, a wind blowing towards Riga gave the British a major advantage. Though the Russian ships were often larger, their gunnery was frequently horrible and the British managed to devastate the Russian Baltic fleet. Some of the faster Russian ships did escape the British onslaught, and others even inflicted some significant damage upon the Royal Navy. However, superior gunnery and captaining won the day and the British quickly moved to shell Riga. With the Russian navy scattered across the Baltic, the British then moved to attack other coastal ports, culminating with a major raid on St. Petersburg. British marines supported by naval gunfire moved into the city and set it aflame, afterwards retreating.
