Map updated. Turn 5 now. Year is 2017.
News:
1. Domination3000 is now in charge of the NCSA.
New province costs:
300 pixels or less = 1 point
600 pixels or less = 2 points
900 pixels or less = 3 points
900+ = 4 points
New distance penalty rule:
If there is only 10 pixels or less between territories, they are considered to be part of the same contiguous area, thus making the DP null.
New combat rule:
Whenever attacking an NPC via RA3, if the situation seems right, I will put in a third team of rebels. If they win the battle, the territory becomes a new nation.
New combat rule 2:
You can negotiate a "military access" treaty with other powers. This makes it so that you can go through their land to attack a foe, or station troops on their soil. This will halve the distance penalty's value(RNG), or halve how many times you incur it(dice).
NPC changes:
1. NPCs are now limited to occupying 20% of their territory count per turn; the floor is 1 territory and the roof 5. No distance penalty or size penalty incurred on territories, but they are limited to expanding into regions strategically viable to them.
2. When an NPC is whomped(loses half its territories and stays this way for a turn), it will get a special random event. From -10 to 10, a number will be generated. If it lands in the negatives, the NPC falls apart and disintegrates, reforming into a new NPC(which can claim new territories as if it was a new NPC, or three territories).
3. NPCs will now have "core provinces." These are provinces that if anyone occupies, they will go to war with the owner. They can take territories outside the cores, but only as bargain chips; if you offer them peace and their core provinces you hold, they automatically accept. As a rule, no territories already under human occupation will become core provinces.
New NPCs!
A new nation, Gran Colombia, has risen in Panama and Colombia.
The Doge and his government were massacred by rebels in Sarajevo. The new Yugoslav Republic has taken over in the Bosnian territories of Venice, and merged with communities in other Slavic regions. It seeks peace with all belligerents.
By contrast, some Venetian notables - speaking Greek, of course - have set up the Most Serene Republic of Greece west of Macedon. Aligned with SK and Virginia, they claim that
Macedonians are not Greek, and thus have no right to rule over the Greek nation. Unlike the Yugoslavs, they seek to crush Macedon and free the Greeks.

Alefurya claims:
1. Four microprovinces around our border(2) Edit: Actually we'll take three. We're gonna hit Seoul, baby!
2. More of Denmark(3)
3. One of the Canary Islands. (4) Being allied to the Angevins, we do not wish to antagonise them. As a result, we will only be grabbing about the eastern half of the Canaries, if that.
4. Two islands further down the coast(6)
