Here are the events I managed to note down.
China built Great Wall and Notre Dame, and annexed Dublin (and apparently Sydney, hadn't heard of that one).
Azteca built Stone Henge and the Colossus.
France built the Oracle, and annexed Florence.
Persia built Chichen Itza and Himeji Castle...annexations / CS alliance described above.
Iroquois built the Pyramids and Machu Picchu.
Rome built the Taj Mahal and the Porcelain Tower.
After the ancient war to save the French from mighty Persia, our people retreated to our forests and turned inward, educating our people and building our industry. We've come to realize we've overly cherished our forests, especially along our rivers, and have only begun clearing them for farmland near Onondaga, our backward capital, which, sadly, is smaller than twice-torched Paris. The pyramids have spurred on our workforce, to the point where we retired most of them, out of disuse. We would have sent them to work French lands, but they could pay nothing; now that they have some funds, they are too old and weak. Our second city of Osisinka meanwhile has grown quickly, to nearly double the size of the capital, rivalling nearby Shanghai, the populous Aztec cities, and many foreign capitals. At Grand River, a great engineer built the mountaintop town of Machu Picchu, boosting internal trade along our leafy avenues.
Constrained in territory by natural barriers and foreign borders, our empire is now the smallest in the world. We have traded our dyes with all but the distant Romans, receiving Persian gems, French silver, Chinese cotton, and Aztec whales in return, riches which have kept our people content. We look forward to exploring along the coasts from our homeland with the recently commissioned navy, to chart the scope of the world.
Always with our ears to the ground, our sages have heard a distant and faint, yet persistent, beating of the drums of war. Other nations' armies are growing, and our people have demanded we strengthen our borders, lest former or new enemies see our fruitful woods, fields, and women as ripe for the taking. And we have accepted a mission of French scientists to progress both our nations into the unknown future.
Will Persia's armies march on France again? Will war break out in the east, between the three mighty powers of China, Azteca, and glorious Rome? No one knows. But our scouts watch, and our warriors stand ready. And our scribes await news of the Aztecs, who so value the stories of the world, they seem not to have written their own history!
