In the forested lands of Central Europe, a great ceremony is held. The chiefs of the Danubian Celts and the Gaullic Celts unite their two distant nations in a great festival along the river Danube. For many years, the two enjoy unity, however it does not last. The two nations are simply too far away to have anything past formal ties. Gaul and Danubian Celtland are united, but only technically, as both are ruled by their seperate kings. The city of Saarbrucken is constructed farther west on the Danube, and many outlying hunters and farmers flock to the area. Celtic economy improves as it's territory increases rapidly. A small expedition to the North reports they have found no sign of any kingdom to the North, but the rumors are persistant.
In Florida, many important trademarks of early Seminole culture arise. A relatively peaceful religion begins to appear in some Seminole homes (growing Seminole culture), and the goverment changes to a tribal confederacy, as more and more surrounding tribes accept entry into the country. The Seminoles now control much of the Floridian peninsula, however they encounter a problem to the North. A tribe of Seminoles calling themselves the "Tallahassee" refuse entry and demand the Seminoles pay tribute.
In Judea, Jerusalem is constantly growing. The population is now well into the thousands, and the city's many mud-brick houses glitter as a diamond of civilization within an otherwise empty middle East. Solomon, the king, builds an army and orders great expansion. First, a newly built army marches North to a small town named Tripoli. Ruled by a people who the Judeans knew nothing about, the battle took much less time than actually getting there. Tripoli, with a population of two or three thousand is now the second biggest city in Judea. To the South, the 2nd army makes it's way across the desert on route for a rumored kingdom to the South. They encounter nobody for a while, and begin to lose morale, when they encounter a foreign entourage.
The group of Egyptians on camelback had been riding on the Sinai for days when they encountered the Judeans. It takes quite some time for each to understand the other, but when they finally do they exchange some small gifts from their native lands. The Judeans recieve one camel, the Egyptians incense. Back in Egypt, the encounter isn't big news among the populace and many sismiss it. The town of Asyut is established a bit farther South, and much land is gained to the East.
In Italia, not much is going on. Inner trade between the two main Ethnic groups of the Roman Empire, the Latins and Etruscans, greatly increases the overall Roman economy. In the South, the Romans run out of land to expand, and in the North, nothing but people speaking different dialects of Latin are found. The economy can now definetly be considered "stable". The first such in the world.
Near the Bosphorus strait, a great rebellion takes place. Not in Byzantium however, but in Thrace, where the locals overthroww a nerveous royal family and pledge their allegiance to the Byzantines. It is up to Justinian to accept dominion over them. Byzantium has in the meanwhile expanded into various directions. In Greece, they make considerable ground but meet hostile locals. The situation in Anatolia is far more serious. Copper deposits had been secured, however the Lydians quickly sent their men and took the mines over. The Byzantines must kick the Lydians off before they figure out how to make more advanced weaponry. The recent deployment of the Anatolian division of the army will probably help.
In Arabia, the Arabs rapidly expand on camelback towards the North where the King is certain lies a fellow rich civilization. No sign of civilized life is found however. All that is discovered are plentiful deposits of salt throughout the area. Back home in Mecca, many great temples are built raising the culture. Some people are demanding that a new city be built.
In England, another army is recruited from the more than willing populace. They expand North and Southwest and capture most all of Southern Britian. An already existing army is boarded onto small ships, but almost sinks in the sea. Expansion across the seas is possible, but not yet fully safe.
In Morroco, the Almohads quickly mobilize. Hundreds of lightly armored spearmen rush into Moorish lands attacking several groups of small soldiers. The Moors are shocked, having been excpecting military action from the Almohads only much later, and quickly fall. Among the carcasses, the Almohads find notes written in the Moorish tongue, talking of unifying the clans to attack the Almohads. Fortunatly, the Almohads reacted quickly. The Moorish threat, is now but a small fringe on the edge of the empire.
In Honolulu, great festivals go on for days. As the army is increased, and second island fully colonized, king Kamehameha prepares to establish a colony across the great water. Nobody knows what will happen, but the air is full of the spirit of patriotism that is found nowhere else in the world. Finally the boats set off! For months, nothing is heard of the expedition, untill 2 years later when a lone boat returns packed with warriors happy to see their homeland again. They say that they have established a colony far far away in a desert land where they have met no other people, and are awaiting orders to build an outpost.
In Germany, the armies expand to the West, and are increased substantially. They encounter a people called the "Danes" to the Northwest who seem to want nothing to do with them.
In China, the Chinese form the very first Chinese society in history. Under King Bob the Great, they expand rapidly with the two-army force unseen in the history of the area. Unfortunatly, it put's much strain on their economy, which sinks to a depression. Their unhappy people begin to doubt the capabilities of the new organized leadership.
In Michigan, the Detroiters push deep into Huron territory, with Huron meat becoming a main course for their rampaging armies (And I'm not talking about the birds either). Farms growing Hurons as domesticated animals spring out throughout the Detroiters lands and become a national delicacy. In the meanwhile, another army slowly advances up the lower Michigan peninsula.\
And in Japan, a direct border with the Mori is established. Their new neighbors are getting more scared by the second. The Japanese boast a superios economy, and far better trained army. In response, the Mori begin to build small forts all along the Japanese border.

From the Tallahassee Seminoles
To the Orlando Seminoles
You are weak, and if you desire to expand any farther North, foolish. The North is Tallahassee land, and you do not dare enter it or a bloody war will ensue.
From the Thracian rebels
To Byzantium
Oh Justinian, the royal family has been slaughtered because the people yearn to be with you. We want to prosper. We demand we be under your control.
From Danes
To Germans
You stay away from us, and we'll stay away from you. That'll be the way it is.
From the Huron
To the Detroiters
Oh I see how it is! Very well then, we'll eat every Detroit captive we take!
From the Mori
To the Japanese
Don't try anything funny with those spears!
