Stats
Rules/Orders/Intro
Pretty self explanatory to experienced players, some minor changes from the das-like standard rules. Most notably is I love projects with nice explanations. I discourage people from simply having orders like: “put all my money into improving infrastructure”. I prefer people to at least explain specifically what you plan to do, obviously though any orders are better than no orders.
As you might notice these are fairly anorexic in size, simply because pretty much everyone is familiar with them, so I do not see a need to go into much depth. They are mostly based off the ones found here (

Brief Summary:
Government
Different governments will have non-stat effects, including events and the like. I do not feel a perticular need to go into too much depth.
Example: Monarchy, Constitutional Monarchy, Republic, Despotism, Facsist
Leaders
Who is in charge of the nation, in cases like the UK, where there is both a Monarch and Prime Minister, a slash will separate them and titles will be used to indicate which is which. I am afraid that for some of them I am unable to find online or in books who the leader is, and the space will be left blank (I appreciate it if anyone could help fill them in...).
Economy
Base Economy: What you get from the land...
Economy Centers: These are where there is large amounts of trade or industry, which indicated higher economic potential. Although they can be created via projects, there needs to be a good reason behind them. Also if there is any massive shifts in political situations which would encourage trade or industry in a city, they can be created. Also military attacks or other random events could destroy them.
Colonies/Other things: These are additional economic benefits to your nation, normally from colonies. More on this in the next sections.
Total: Summation of above, subtract your military upkeep to know how much you have to spend per turn.
Banked: This is the amount you have in your national coffers. Also it could reflect bonuses you get for particular things in your orders or random events.
Technology
What sort of technological level your nation is at on a whole. It primarily effects your military effectiveness, but also effects all other stats. Only through random events or projects can they be advanced.
pre-industrial revolution, first industrial revolution, second industrial revolution
Army
Invade, defend, and perhaps other options I haven't considered. For simplicities sake there are only Infantry, Irregular and Cavalry divisions. However you can create some sort of new elite units via some other way (projects, stories). Costs show below,
One Eco: (square root of Population, rounded up) Pop 1= 1 infantry division, Pop 2,3,4= 2 Infantry Division, Pop 5 = 3 infantry divisions
One Eco: 1 Cavalry Division
Navy
A strong navy is crucial to the survival of any empire, and for the defense of any surviving states. Naval Vessels are defined as Capital Ships, which are massive ships such as Ships-Of-The-Line, and squadrons, which are collections of smaller ships, like corvettes and frigates, which are excellent in a defensive role, like protecting shipping. Obviously in any naval conflict is necessary to have both.
One Eco: 1 Capital Ship (bombardment)
One Eco: 1 Squadron (shipping defense)
Mobilization
For your treasure's sake you can put your troops into a reservist unit at any time. However it will take some time to mobilize them, so they will not take part in any sort of attack unless remobilized (takes one turn), but they will still defend the mainland to lesser effectiveness than active troops.
Military upkeep
No equation is used to determine this, and it depends on troop and ship deployments. For example, Germany has more divisions than Britain, but since British troops are deployed around the world, they have higher upkeep costs.
Area
Size of your nation/empire. Effects cost to improve infrastructure. Scale of 0-6
Population
Population in your nation/empire. Effects cost to improve education and living standards. Scale of 1-6
Infrastructure
Infrastructure will impact your economy slightly, as well as effectiveness of your military. Costs 2*area to increase by 1. Scale of 1-6
Education
Education will impact your economy slightly, as well as likelihood of age advancements. Costs 2*population to increase by 1. Scale of 1-6
Living Standards
Living Standards will impact your economy slightly, as well as have some effect on confidence. Costs 2*population to increase by 1. Scale of 1-6
Confidence
How well your people like you. Cannot be increased directly, but how in character your actions are and how well your people like you. An Ottoman Sultan announcing a conversion to Christianity, for instance, will surely decrease this.
Civil War (0) – Adoring (6)
Projects
Projects are anything else you wish to improve (fortifications, new naval units, etc.), or a massive project to increase many stats at once. Their cost will be determined by their proposed effects, as well as how well you describe them (simply saying “improve life expectancy to 6” leaves much to be decided to local leaders who always love larger houses). PM me your suggestions, and I will analyze them and respond with a cost. Costs will use the “turn” units. To improve a project by N turns, you must invest 2(N)-1 ecos. See chart below:
1 turn – 1 eco
2 turns – 3 ecos
3 turns – 5 ecos
4 turns – 7 ecos
10 turns – 19 ecos
The reason for this you are, in a sense, rush completing the project. Doing so takes more monetary contributions.
Colonies/Other Foreign Things of Importance
Many nations around this time are empires, some of those have colonies or other areas somehow or other indebted to the mother nation (protectorates). In addition, countries have other sources of income (Suez canal).
Colony Template:
Name : Type : Base Income/Eco centers : Confidence : Army (Militia)
Type
Either really Colony or Protectorate.
Economy
Already described
Confidence
Confidence in colonies is very important as rebellions are common. Your policies in the colonies must reflect what the people their want if you wish to keep this high.
Military
This is the military your nation has stationed in the colony, it is NOT included in your Army Stats above.
Milita
Most colonies have some sort of native force in the region employed by the Empire. Generally this a good thing, as it lessens the strain on your military upkeep. However it can be a liability (Sepoy rebellion).
Brief Summary
I try to make this relatively through of your conditions. They will describe briefly your foreign relationships and the problems your nations face as well as your recent history. It is highly encouraged that you research your nation a little (at least read the wikipedia article...).
