Deseret never reconized the Mathali people, so we don't understand why Canada had a name change. They always had been Canada.

Alliances and Defensive Pacts
I've decided to make it that you can have one alliance per every 5 Diplo levels(since they're very useful due to being both offensive/defensive), but you can still have an unlimited number of defensive pacts and guarantees.
Time to get this ball rolling.
Austronesia and Singapore sign a full blown alliance! If one goes to war, the other can go with them, whether offensive or defensive. This bloc will possess incredible power from now on. Singapore guarantees the independence of the Khmer, due to their trade partner status.
Japan, China, and Korea have signed a three way defensive pact.
Zululand and Kongo have signed an alliance. The Zulu Empire is now quite a potent threat!
Austria has signed a defensive pact with Serbia, so even if their personal union dissolves, they will remain tied to eachother.

Iberia approves the alliance, despite our geographical distance, due to the lucrative agreements we could have. This will assist both our states in protecting peace and stability on the continent.

Austria's Archduke has ordered a religious census to determine what faith should lead the Austrian Empire to greatness.
19 provinces are Hindu out of 55. 8 provinces are Buddhist. 8 Catholic. 12 Jewish. 3 Sunni. 4 Pagan.
A tough choice. Too much diversity. Austria will remain pagan for now to remain agreeable to all parties.

Nubia had a revolt. The rebellion desires an independent Levantine state stretching from Israel up to Lebanon.
Kongo had 2 revolts. They desire an independent Angola.
Pakistan had a revolt. Turkestan patriots.

Succession
The Caribbean ruler has died, making one question the future of the Aztec, Colombian, and Caribbean thrones. Caribbea's too powerful to become a junior partner, but the Aztecs and Colombians can still break free.
The Aztec crown remains under Caribbea, but that doesn't resolve the issue of Colombia.
Colombia also remains a Caribbean possession. The Caribbean hegemony will continue.
The Guyenese ruler has died. Standard succession.
The Turkestani ruler dies. Despite Russia's hopes, the crown does not pass to them. Russia still lords over Astrakhan, however.

It's an age of revolution!
The Canadian government has been deposed, replaced with a new regime, though little has changed.
The Russian government has likewise fallen, the old monarchy having been replaced by a revolutionary Republic. The new leadership claims to have originated in Canada, very sketchy, but the fact the Iberian Empire has contacts with both states does give some credit to the idea. Either way, Russia has become a republic. Fear of it spreading has consumed many monarchies in Europe, though Iberia has sided with the Republic by signing a defensive pact to show that Russia is no threat. (Mathalamus shall now control Russia instead of Canada)
The Amazonian regime has collapsed into chaos. A weak provisional government has taken over after the government left the country in the best ships it had(that's not saying much since the Amazonians oddly never built a huge navy). While the Ancien Regime took its chances in the mysterious Atlantic, what was a war of aggression looks to make the Amazon, once the wealthiest state in the world(albeit briefly) into a footnote in history.
Oddly, just like Canada and Russia, a new government has seized power in India, taking the reins of administration from the unpopular, incompetent monarchy. This new dynasty speaks a bizarre tongue and follows different Gods, and when one looks at history books in the future, it's discovered the modern Sanskrit language shares some strange similarities with the Amazonian. Indeed, the new government claims descent from a culture that is oddly Amazonian. (Duke Blackstone has abandoned Amazon and now is leading India)

Iberia
With a solid economy of 111 gold, we are ready to crack open a few cans of whoopass.
5 armies are recruited with our treasury. These 16 armies are sent against the French. We use religion as a casus belli, angering the Hindu world as a result, but they can stuff it. 1 more army is recruited with our income.
France has 3 armies for us to go through, and 15 provinces.
1 17 - Iberian army crushed.
1 16
27 4
19 10 - French army crushed.
16 24
22 9
The French armies are all defeated, and 14 provinces are captured in total. Spending 4.8 gold, we're able to defeat the French's last stronghold.
The French have been crushed. Our peace terms are standard:
-We demand their vassalisation
-We demand their conversion to the one true faith, Islam
-We demand their two Swiss provinces, to be donated to Lombardy
France has to accept, being completely destroyed.
---
France, now having converted to Islam, has an unlucky 13 provinces. Each has a 20% chance of rebelling.
2 revolt. The remaining 11 each have a 10% chance of conversion to Islam. 1 converts.
Iberia, now with a new vassal, completes Infra 7. We recruit 2 new armies, who crush the French rebels.
We occupy two more African provinces, completing our colony there.

Coming soon: Austria declares war upon Poland, triggering a war with Kiev.

Austria has 81 gold. It is reasoned by the Archduke Poland should be eliminated first, to make way for an invasion force into Kiev, AND to get the Polish people to fight for independence alongside any coalition that may form.
First, 58 gold is spent to upgrade Civics, thus allowing Austria to consider annexation of some territory.
Austria sends 11 armies against Poland's 5 to see how it goes.

3 victories eliminate Poland's armies.
7 armies are recruited for a total cost of 32.2 gold. Poland is completely occupied!
Poland's complete occupation forces them to the table. Austria is benevolent, presenting themselves as liberators. The conditions are simple:
-Poland cedes 5 territories
-Poland renounces the Kievan Dominion and declares war upon them
Poland is all too eager to agree.
Poland recruits 4 armies with its wealth, but waits for the Austro-Serbian Empire to make its move.
Serbia is ordered to recruit 11 armies and use it against the Kievan Empire. They are told this will bring them great wealth and power beyond their wildest dreams.
Kiev's 11 armies brace for the worst.

A crushing victory! Poland stays on the defensive.
Kiev is obviously angry. 82 income is combined with the treasury to create 25 armies, 27 when including those still standing from the initial onslaught. Poland is ordered to be wiped off the map!

8 of 27 armies slaughter the Poles easily. Intellectuals are hunted down and put to death, Polish historical structures are burnt to the ground, and in general, there is no concern for any of the Polish people. It is not a war; it is a massacre. Poland is annexed into the Kievan Empire.
The High Rabbi fears weakness in the face of Germany and Russian neighbors, and so orders 4 armies at maximum to be dispatched to retake the Austrian-occupied lands.

Rome, Norway, and Cyrene all have the option to intervene on Kiev's behalf, given that they are Jewish and Kiev contains the holy city.
Rome, from what I can infer above, has decided to stay out of it - understandable since they're over thier support limit already.
Norway's fairly distant, and also is concerned about a British invasion of Sweden.
Cyrene, however, does agree to get involved due to the very theocratic government. Building a fleet, 5 armies land and attack Austrian Italy.
The distance penalty reduces Cyrene's rolls by 10% in all cases, at least for the first landing.
29 17 - The distance penalty's removed now that a beachhead has been established.

Diplomacy First! (India, because of the Glorious Revolution, has renounced all previous foreign agreements, and thus new diplomacy must be conducted)
In the first year in the Service of the Indian Imperium, Imperatior Marchaln visited many leaders that he had met on his travels, investing time and money to furthering Indias diplomatic prospects. The rulers of Nubia and Russia, delighted to hear of the success of the philosopher, happily agreed to informal alliances (a very strong pact of friendship, KNOWN TO THE NPCS), and a trade agreement was founded with the Russian Republic. The rulers of Pakistan and Ormus, who had treated Marchaln and his followers so badly in their travels, did not get such an offer.
Next, Marchaln traveled into the conquest bloated Quin empire, to see the Emperor in the Forbidden Palace. Marchaln offered a formal alliance to the Quin, citing their optimal location (close enough to be of assistance to in a time of conflict, but far enough away that no borders disputes would develop). He offered them a trade agreement as well, saying that it would boost the Quin empires economy still further.
Finally, the Imperator met with the newly allied leaders of Austronesia and Singapore. He applauded their decision not to fight in these troubled times, and offered them both royal marriages to Indian princesses (still influential with the Indian people). Marchaln noted that the Singaporeans were close enough to have a conflict over borders, but he gave them a magnificent gift of 20 gold as a token of good faith. He also offered them a trade agreement.
As Marchlan traveled back to his Capitol, he planned his next move. Yet, loneliness tugged at his heart. In the Amazon, marriages were rare, and "very good friends" were common. India was a much stricter culture, and he admitted he was happy with that. The debauchery of the Amazon people was simply rot. Still... He needed someone to share his existance. Yes, Marchaln needed a wife. But how to find one?
(In the International Indian Insider, Personals Section)
Wanted: Wife for the Imperator of India
Must Be Royal, Intelligent, Beautiful, and Courtly
Will Be An Equal in every way to the Philosophers Greatness

International Policy:
Informal alliances SIGNED with Nubia and Russia
Trade agreements SIGNED with Russia
Formal Alliance OFFERED to the Quin Empire (China)

The Qin and Singaporean governments accept the trade agremeents; the alliance is accepted; the royal marriages are also accepted.
Correction! When taking over another state, you can reset their sliders as if the game had just started; i.e. you can make their policies anywhere from +2 to -2 with flavor policies.
Of course Iberia will respect its Russian ally(even if technically we have a defensive pact and not a full alliance due to restrictions
) - our alliance is incredibly lucrative.Russia's not a major power so you don't get sliders.
Who knows though; when the Amazon falls, maybe Russia could become the new major power. 
No, every 2 levels.
Diplo 4 gives you 3 trade agreements, for example - one base, and two added on due to Diplo tech. ---

Sweden, having repulsed the invasion, builds up a fleet of 5 navies. They attack the British navy bottled up in the Sound.

Resounding victory! The British fleet is forced to retreat back to the North Sea. If they didn't have an extra movement point, they would have been sunk automatically.
Sweden keeps all its navies on patrol to protect the Sound from British penetration. Sweden warns the British to make peace now, or it will invade the British Isles. The Swedes, to demonstrate their seriousness, recruit 5 armies and combine them with the 2 they have. This invasion force could easily land in Britain - it will only take a single ship to transport all three, where they can disembark onto Albion.

5 victories out of 10 attacks.
That leaves 12 of Kiev's armies ready to defend against Russia's 24 armies.

That seals it. Kiev has lost all 12 armies!
In total, Russia occupies 19 provinces. Among its more prestigious acquisitions is the Holy City of Kiev, which it will now collect income from until it loses it.
Kiev is defenseless; anybody who attacks it will get territory for free.

...and, poo. Kiev receives word the German Empire has declared war upon Kiev(automating this for Arakhor). Germany recruits 24 armies. With this, Germany overruns every last bit of Kiev. Germany attributes the huge success to their armies' greatness, but in reality, there was no one left to protect Kiev.
The demands start going around town.
Austria can't demand anything, but Serbia annexes their occupied territory completely.
Germany waits for Astrakhan and Russia to give their demands.

With Russia's annexation of all its land, all that remains of Kiev are the 27 provinces under German occupation. The Kaiser debates the best way to deal with the country...
First, he annexes them, gaining their techs. This yields Infra 7, Civ 6, Army 7, and Diplo 6.
Germany has a revolt risk of 41% now, which is reduced to 37% when Germany buys a new Civics tech.
It is decided to release 10 territories into the vassal state of Outer Rus.
