The European Revolutionary Years (1844-1848)
After the defeat of Rome, the eyes of the world was now focused on Spain and it's dispute with Britain over the Mahgreb region. With France's declaration of war in support of Britain, it's ally, the fate of Spain was effectively sealed.
Spain
Spain is attacked in a carefully planned two pronged invasion of Maghreb by the British and of Spain by France. The first stage was the defeat of the Spanish Navy.
The aftermath of the battle is shown below
The Battle for Spain was superbly planned by the French
The Second French Army found it's battles in the basque region easy and took all the cities. Also the amphibious landing supported by the French fleet allowed the French Third Army to march onto Seville, but the First French Armies seige on the Capital was more difficult and lost the majority of its forces in the retreat.
Mahgreb
The British broke out of Tunis with a reinforced army and easily defeated the Spanish forces, who were severely hampered by their ally al-Qadir al-Jaza'iri who was defeated at Isly in Morocco by the Sultan of Morocco.
note: Forgot about the revolver upgrade, but it did not really affect the outcome
France
The "February Revolution" in France was sparked by the suppression of the campagne des banquets. This revolution was driven by nationalist and republican ideals among the French general public, who believed that the people should rule themselves.
Italy
The 1848 Siciliy revolution was substantially organized from, and centered in, Palermo. The popular nature of the revolt is evident in the fact that posters and notices were being handed out a full three days before the substantive acts of the revolution occurred on 12 January, 1848.
The other 1848 revolutions in the Italian states were organized revolts in the states of Italy led by persons who desired a liberal government and wanted to get Italy rid of the French presence. During this time period, Italy was still not a unified country, and was divided into many states, which, in Northern Italy, were ruled by the French. A desire to be free from foreign rule, led the Italian people to stage a revolution in order to drive out the French. The revolution was led by the state of Piedmont, one of the four states where the French leaders were forced to grant liberal rights. Also, the uprisings in the Kingdom of Lombardy–Venetia, particularly in Milan, forced a French General to retreat to the Quadrilatero fortresses.
But with the successes in Spain, these revolutions had minimal impact on France itself.
Germany
The "March Revolution" in the German states took place in the south and the west of Germany, with large popular assemblies and mass demonstrations. They primarily demanded German national unity, freedom of the press, freedom of assembly, arming of the people and a national German parliament.
Hungary
The Hungarian Revolution of 1848 was one of many revolutions that year and closely linked to other revolutions of 1848 in Central Europe. The revolution in the Kingdom of Hungary grew into a war for independence.
The German ruler and his advisors skillfully manipulated the Croatian, Serbian and Romanian peasantry, led by priests and officers firmly loyal to the a Greater Germany, and induced them to help fight against the Hungarian government. The Hungarians were supported by the vast majority of the Slovak, German, Rusyn and Hungarian Slovenes nationalities, as well as by the Jews of the kingdom, and by a large number of Polish, Austrian and Italian volunteers.
In June 1848 German troops entered Hungary heavily outnumbering the Hungarian army. After all appeals to other European states failed, Kossuth abdicated on August 11, 1848 in favor of Artúr Görgey, whom he thought was the only general who was capable of saving the nation. On August 13, Görgey signed the surrender at Világos (now Şiria, Romania) and handed the army over to the Germans.
A couple of attempts to influence the leaders of the Gold Coast to let settlers arrive were rejected, because of situation in Europe and they did not want any part in it.
Bosnia
Bosnia continued its assertion of control over Turkey and saw fit to build additional factories whichboasted the local economy and the poulation soon forgot about the Italian experience and is looking forward to a bright and peaceful future.
Russia

What happened to regular random events for countries, like we had the first two updates? Those were cool and really added to the game.

My minimum supplies should only be 4 IC, because I lost an army. I would like to note that newly created armies don't need supplies.
Also, I built a factory in France last turn, so my spendable IC should be 11, not 10.
Second French Republic Orders:
2 IC to create 1 army
2 IC for one factory in France
5 IC supplies
4 IC stability
I have 8 IC towards the next stability level now. Only 2 left.
I have explained my government before, all positions are elected and internal affairs are managed by a parliament. Only foreign affairs are handled by the President, who is elected for life.

As to events, due to the "European Revolutions" and actions of player nations, I felt that there was enough happening in this turn that it did not seem warranted. As to the errors, I apologize, and I get better.

President Bolivar was pleased with the rapid industrialization of his country, yet his government was still corrupt and slow. He decided to use the majority of his nation's money to deal with this issue. Also, he knew that the spirit of Revolution that had swept Europe was not isolated to the Continent. If Gran Colombia didn't expand, his citizens might rise out from above him. Sights were set on Guiana.
Orders for Gran Colombia:
Income: 7 ICs
4 ICs into stability
3 ICs into bribing Guiana
I should have 33% for the next stability lvl

Just to point out a couple of mistakes:
1. Mahgreb should be a core of both Spain and britain.
2. You seemed to have completely ignored the results of the events from last turn. Mine at least should have taken 2 factories form Britain, given me two more armies to use in my attacks, and gained a core on Mahgreb.
3. I should only require 1 supply, as I have one navy, and only one army instead of two which equals 3 but loses 2 to revolvers.
4. You also seemed to have forgotten in the battle calculation that I had +50% bonus due to Limey warfare, and as you have already noticed, another 25% due to revolvers.
And this is just my nation. Didnt check up on anyone elses.
Also some suggestions to consider:
1. I think you should have made those revolutions into events where the player would ahve one option or another to do about it. Otherwise I think it shifts away from TKs style too much, which seemed to stay out of roleplaying business of the players besides in events.
2. Can you perhaps divide the update into technological advances, wars, battles, and stats like TK did? perhaps even put them in spoilers.
All in all not bad, and I have no doubt you will master it, but there were quite a few mistakes in there. For example, if I had had those 2 armies from my event, I probably wouldnt have lost an army in the battle of Mahgreb.

Three new states were added to the nation in 1847: Tuvalu, Vanuatu, and New Zealand. They voted for the first time in 1848. Incumbent Ryan Kelly ran again for president. The Eastern Freedom Party attempted to nominate Roger Macdonald for president, but the former president died of a heart attack. That party soon dissolved. The Western Freedom Party nominated Mike Shepherd again. The Nationalist Party nominated Kyle Hamilton, a Kiwi who was now governor of New Zealand. A newly formed party, the Pacifist Party, nominated John Pandak of Java.
Kelly won most of the districts in Queensland, New South Wales, Adelaide, Brunei, Sumatra, and Banda. Shepherd had heavy support from Perth, Outback, and Tasmania, while Hamilton took New Zealand. Pandak took Java, Vanuatu, and Tuvalu.
Number of Districts Won:
Ryan Kelly (Liberal Democratic): 66
Mike Shepherd (Freedom): 27
John Pandak (Pacifist): 7
Kyle Hamilton (Nationalist): 5
All other candidates: 0

Once again, Xi'an ingenuity shows as the restructuring of the government and the reforms passed through in the last couple years have finally strengthened the government's grip to the point in which it can be considered "stable", stable in Chinese eyes. Although some reforms still need to be pushed through in order to complete this restructuring process, it has been agreed that the next couple years should be focused mainly on economics and the military, especially after the Disaster in Peking.
So, to make up for the lost time in the last couple years, the King has ordered the a majority of the income to be factories, in fact, all of the income to be spent on factories (Xi'an builds 5 factories with 10 IC). The King has been convinced of the power of cold, hard, steel, and what it can do for a country, and hopes to bring that power to Xi'an for her to wield with all her Grandness.
Juan Capac has seen the masss industrilaztion of other countrues, and vowed to bring it to the Emipre of Tawantinsuyo. Factories were to be built, things researched, all for the glory of the Emporer.

Construction of the Grand Husein Mosque
The mighty Sultan has ordered the construction of a grand Mosque in Sarajevo to commemorate the victory over the Pagan Romans and thank god. The mosque will be the biggest mosque in the Balkans, it will be the same size as the blue Mosque in Istanbul. Our great nation is experiencing a population boom and all the mosques in Sarajevo are full. The Mosque should finish this year, inshallah. The mosque will be built in the center of the city and it will be opened on the anniversary of the great Bosnian revolt. The plan is to expand the mosque during the next 5 years and make it the biggest mosque in the world.
