Update - 3600 B.C.
Korea's mood goes down to content. It's economy expands to "Great" and the country gets even larger. Chinese nationalism seems to have subsided significantly, though it's still present, and the new provinces proove unfriendly for Korean travelers. However the recent death of the King has left the populus in doubt of the country's direction.
In Spain, King emu expands the army and expands into the rest of spain. He encounters no barbarians but the people's mood goes down because of the millitary increase.
In the Holy Land, Amirsan and his band of loyal followers rush into Assyria to finish the final battle. And what a battle it was. At first, the Israelis saw nothing around them and rapidly expanded into enemy territory. But when they got to the capital, they were ambushed on all sides by Assyrian warriors, while archers poured arrows on them from the hills. Apparently the peace invitation was a trap, but thankfully the king had come with an army as opposed to alone. The Israeli army suffered many casualties at first, but eventually turned the tide. Israeli archers took out Assyrian war chariots, while the footmen annhialated the Assyrian ground force before turning on their bowmen. The few Assyrians that survived were hunted down by Israelis who had used the Assyrian chariot horses to their own use. Unfortunatly, the Assyrian king had escaped. Either way however, Assyria was now officially an Israeli province.
Back in Jerusalem, a great temple was started and the army increased by two. The people grew ever unhappier. The appearance of a rival empire to the Southwest finally resulted in a one-level decrease. The troops in Assyria stopped to regroup their losses and only marginally expanded into Turkey. There are good news however. Israeli soldiers realized that the Assyrians had better crafted archery equipment than themselves. They quickly set to find out why and end up bringing the technology of the longbow to the Israeli's allowing for a

Several egyptians make their own smaller versions and ferry their people along the coast slightly expanding the empire. Egyptian children are torn between the fun of painting the boats while guardsmen aren't looking, and the dread of the coming school-year which the pharaoh had just made tougher than any before.

From the People
"Actually, I hated the old king. I'm glad we're now part of Israel. Hopefully Amirsan won't let that lunatic come back" sais Ayna Arranabi as she tends to her crops.
"This is madness!" cries Phillipo Sanchez, Spaniard, at a town square protest in Madrid. "Why raise the army? What are we threatened by? I'll tell you what. Nothing before the expansion and nothing after this one! The king is a powerhungry fool... don't tell him I said that though, he'll feed me to the lions!"
"Well I'm glad we won in Assyria, but can the king pleas come to Jerusalem now and worry about more important matters like education?" asks an anonymous Israeli. "We're expanding just fine without him, look at how many people now live in Jordan! But our children are as dumb as rocks... and I'm not sure we're much better"
