In light of this the Abdul Ghafaar Sultanate would like to offer a royal marriage to the Sultanate of Cordoba, which will unite both the ruling families and ensure a alliance between both our sultanates.

As usual, use the Spendable Row to figure out how much IP you have to spend this year. Not Total Income, which clearly doesn't take into account L2 Shipyard maintenance.

 

[Sonereal]

If I get in all orders tonight, I can update when I get home. Otherwise, orders lock first thing tomorrow morning.

NEWS OF THE WORLD
1721​

ISLAMIC INVASION OF SICILY. Messina, Sultanate of Cordoba. In a year full of expected moves, such as Great Britain's unification of the islands, Polish eastward expansion, and France's unification of France, the Sultanate of Cordoba's decision to land troops to seize Two Sicilies stands out as the most unique early use of the peace in the Mediterranean to expand overseas. The British use of a sixth rate to seize Southern England via Middlesex ranks second as the most ambitious use of sealift, losing out only due to Great Britain's naval supremacy in the North Sea.


CIVIL UNREST IN SWEDEN AND CHINA. Stockholm, Kingdom of Sweden. Across both countries, peasants are drilling in the countryside and preparing to overthrow their respective governments over perceived grievances, such as governmental inactivity. Bulgaria escaped such issues this year because of its unique government (OOC: Joined after first update).

Sweden, China, and Bulgaria all benefit from a sizable treasury, however.


BALANCE OF POWER IN THE MEDITERRANEAN SHIFTING. Marseilles, Kingdom of France. The establishment of new shipyards along Mediterranean coasts has shifted the balance of power in the sea into the hands of the Sultanate of Cordoba. The Sultanate's naval power in the sea is matched soundly by her sister sultanate in Egypt and by Bulgaria, but in sheer naval capacity, Cordoba's shipbuilding outpaces Egyptian and Bulgarian shipbuilding slightly, and French shipbuilding by a larger margin.

This has created worry in Marseilles, as the country's lack of any Mediterranean fleet could come back to haunt the young kingdom. However, the generals of France are worried more about Cordoba's advance into Catalonia, bringing one of the largest armies in the world just on the border with France.


Galloglaigh. Glasgow, Kingdom of Great Britain. The Galloglaigh is the first ship of its kind. The third rate has turned the British Navy into the most powerful navy in the world overnight, and all be insured Great Britain's North Sea dominance in the face of any serious competitors. Ireland and Southern England offer significant ports on the Coast of Iberia, with shipbuilding capacity in the sea province to match French shipyards in Picardy and Aquitaine.

France. You get Lombardy and Venice, I get Tuscany and Rome. Seems fair as a division of Italy, yeah?

 

[Ailedhoo]

Egypt will expand her borders to take over Palestine, Algeria, Mali and Chad.

We have 4 spendable income to spend.

We will also declare our plans to upgrade our shipyard in Lower Egypt with means of 3 of our income, for this will allow us to transform Lower Egypt into a center of trade.

The last bit will be translated into a additional army.

I don't think so. You have plenty of land to your south. Let us Iberians have Algeria and Mali and the rest of West Africa.

 

[christos200]

OOC: I was just about to send orders.

IC:

Bulgaria shall expand into Greece and Asia Minor.

 

[Ailedhoo]

For the forming of the Abdul Ghafaar Caliph (a eventually plan of His Excellence) we are going to need gold to fund the efforts: Mali processes this plus other metals to aid our holy rise. However Sudan has gold too and our merchants will eventually get us any metals from Mali. We will change our plans meant for Algeria and Mali to Tunisia and Southern Sudan.

As for our plan to have a port on the Atlantic: Cameroon will be fine for us to take eventually?
