Sinhala becomes the preeminent maritime power of South Asia and east Africa. Ships from all over the known world travel to Singhalese ports to trade goods and the island of Socrota rapidly becomes the most quickly growing city in the world already exceeding 500,000 citizens with thousands more traders trading there every day. All of this trade causes an economic boost that shocks the entire region. The Singhalese treasury seems to have far too much money in it and it seems that if some of it isn’t spent the economic bubble could rapidly burst and send the nation into skyrocketing inflation. For now, however the government is enjoying the fruits of it’s citizens labor with the incredible economy boost. The expeditions along the African coast succeed until a major storm strands a merchant fleet along the coast. They create a settlement in the area and associate with the locals continuing in the Singhalese tradition of trade.

Burgundian prince finally places a face behind the movement for their own nation. The Frankish kingdom sends a army to the area to quell any possible uprising but it has the reverse affect, many civilians are upset that the Frankish lords feel they have power over Burgundy and the ability to convert to their particular brand of Christianity. Germany and Spain remain totally silent as the religious movement in each of those nations grows, but much more peaceably. Germany is far too occupied in the east to concern itself with any such issue and the President of Spain seems out of touch and unaware of any problem.

The Huns continue to ravage eastern Germany. Rampaging through the countryside the Hun army is able to totally beat every German garrison or military formation that can be risen to prevent their march across their lands. However inexplicable after marching nearly to the gates of Berlin they stop and march no further. Everyone wonders what is going on and anxiously awaits for the other shoe to drop.

Rome and Greece sign a historic mutual protection pact in light of the overwhelming danger of the Huns to the north. Upon discovery of this the Huns pivot from the west to the new danger in the south and march into the Greco-Roman Army. The Greeks and Romans are pushed back by the Huns but they are able to maintain their unity and exact fearful casualties from the marauding Hun army.

Japanese economic boost over, rapid expansion was too quick and following massive government spending caused inflation, the Japanese economy is now in dire straits as the government has very few funs to attempt to recover and the economy is now on verge of collapse.

Sale of alcoholic beverages in Jin china expands rapidly growing the economy even more than expected. Increased tax revenue gives the Emperor a windfall of funds to spend. As such he celebrates by buying a lot of the “wonder” alcohol that is nation is now famous for.

The Cossacks are able to continue to press the Bulgers back onto the steppe with the help of the Russians to the north. However, this pressure has awakened the Kazars to the south of Bulgerland and they have been uprooted by the war to their north. Not only do they move toward the north to combat the invaders they find the Cossack menace looming. Neither side knows what the new barbarians intend to do, if anything at all. The flood of gold and loot from other nations in the Cossack kingdom have some advisors worrying that there is too much money in circulation and if the government doesn’t spend some money soon than inflation would set in and cause the economy to stagnant.

The Canadians are finally able to take down the Delaware with the help of their allies. The occupied land is annexed and the war is over. Looting and capturing the major Delaware population areas brings great unexpected growth to the Canadian economy causing rapid expansion. One major problem remains however. The Sioux demand that their entry into the war was the decisive factor and as such argue that their long coveted ocean accesses be granted to them.

Honduras finally claws it’s way out of a totally dead economy but the damage of that long period of darkness remains. It may take many years for the economy to recover and much investment and work by the government

Geystral citizens, feeling leaderless in the current crises grow more dissatisfied with their government and consumer confidence falls bringing the economics of the beleaguered nation to the breaking point. The armed forces are upgraded and this spending totally devastates the fragile economy of Geystral, sending it into a major depression. On the war front, mixed news. Kerasut pulls back across the border with Geystral and Vietnam and in fact turn on the Allied troops that came with them and kill them to a man. However the citizens of Geystral adhere to their religious beliefs and gather militias and march across the border to pursue the Kerasut army. Most distressing for the former alliance is that Vietnam doesn’t forgive the treachery and launches a small counterattack against the invaders. On the island of Borneo the Kerasut troops take the Allied troops by surprise when they turn on their former allies and this allows the Geystral troops to take advantage of the situation and make good gains. However, Vietnamese troops refuse to participate so long as Geystral forgives the utter treachery of Kerasut. The Geystral fleet sails to sortie with the Allied fleet but neither can bring overwhelming force against the other navy and while there are loses on both sides it isn’t decisive.

A new religious leader comes to power in Arabia and with his magnetism is able to unite practically the entire nation under his rule. Only small Christian and Jewish holdout settlements in the north, and Sumerian cities refuse to fall in line. To bring these “heathen” under control he announces a great crusade to drive other religions out of holy lands and many crusaders join the Arabian army and offerings to the cause drive the governments war coffers.

The Parthian totally annihilate the Persian empire and as a symbol of unity among the two cultures proclaim the joint Sasanian Empire.

The Han Empire, looking to reclaim the glory lost in the wars with the Mongols invades northeast Tibet in the hopes of finding a link to the west and possibly new trade routes.

Ethiopia embarks on a period of expansion in East Africa. Their aim of dominating all of east Africa is at great risk though. The power Christian kingdom of Axum to the north and the maritime power of Sinhala all exert influence in the area and are seen as a challenge to the “divine” right of Ethiopia in the region.

NPC Diplomacy
Pacific Alliance to:
Geystral: We see no need to continue this fight. It has gone on too long and with no benifit to either side. We suggest pre war borders.

Souix:
to Canada and Honduras and Seminole: We will have an outlet to the sea. Do not attempt to deny us this. If it weren't for us you'd still be waging the war.

Huns to:
Cossacks: We care not if you join our alliance. Spain will of course have to approve of it.

OOC:
Amon there was no asterisk so that is why your economy is gone. Don't know where you got that idea from....

If you are above stable, spend some cash!

Travels of Sigi

ooc: A blatant copy of an idea from aaminion in stjnes5 /ooc

Hello, I am Sigi, my last name is not important for I do not wish to honor my bloodsucking family for this journey I am about to begin. A travel in which I will write about every hour of the day in this journal, and compile it a survey of the nations of the Indian Ocean for the greater of the literary readers of the Sinhalese language.

Chapter One – Satavahanihara

PDRM0074.jpg

The image above is of the capital of Satavahanihara, Ahrnadabad, with surrounding villages


I make my way to the country of Satavahanihara my buggy, a friend I know owns a mule and buggy and has agreed to take me to the Satavahaniharan capital of Ahrnadabad. The country we make our way through is full of Sinhalese culture – a relic of the once great Sinhalese empire that stretched through this land and further north. The language is spoken still, but the official language has been dubbed the ancient Satavahaniharan language. Little farms appear on the way, but when they do they are little less then just blotches of weed with a vegetable here and there, or a wheat field that is dreadfully overgrown. Poverty strikes the land from every angle, and I stay within the buggy with my dagger ready in case any poor man tries to rob me.

The road is bumpy, made completely of rocks. There are frequently roadblocks where a tree has fallen, or rebels who charge a fee to get through blocked off sections of the roads. Not wanting any trouble, I of course pay the fee, which usually isn’t much. As we near the capital, more and more small towns are seen, until finally we reach the capital, with huge walls that surround it built in the Sinhalese fashion. They are probably the same walls that the Sinhalese citizens built to defend this town.

It was not hard to enter Ahrnadabad like it is to enter any usual Sinhalese town – all you had to do was state your name and the guard wrote it down on a tablet. I gave a fake name. As soon as we were inside the city, I quickly put my shirt to cover my mouth. The street was sick. There were people falling over each other, streets full of waste, and crumbling homes. At the end of the road, in the distance, I could see a high stone building, which must be the temple. Making my way down the street, within the buggy still, the slums slowly turned cleaner, more prosperous. Markets soon appeared along the street side where goods ranging from gold necklaces to exotic woodcarvings were sold. I stopped by a near vender who was selling bananas.

“How much for this, good sir?” I asked politely, feeling he hunger churning within myself. The banana I picked up was as hard as a rock, but I did not care.

“Fifteen rupee,” replied the robust, yet healthy looking man. I could see what looked to be his daughter sitting behind him on an overturned crate, kicking her knees in front of her. I gave him an eye of suspicion, since fifteen rupee could usually buy two dozen bananas in Sinhala proper. But his face portrayed nothing out of the ordinary. I soon realized that it was the going price in this country. Handing him the equivalent in Sinhalese coins, which were accepted in this country as well, I took the banana, turned around, and attempted to peal. Unsuccessfully, I withdrew my dagger and cut the peel, revealing a brown mass of what seemed to be rotten banana. Sighing, I through it to the ground and hopped back into the buggy. From here I made my way to the port, where a trireme would be waiting for me boarding to take me to the island of Socotra.

ORDERS
-Open trade with that brown country on the Indus (name?)
-Spend an economy on upgrading the Socotra island into an island capable of double its citizens and a state of the art defense system.

-Establish banks in all of my cities, especially the capital and on Socotros, capably of holding money for the traders, and set ten guards per bank.
-Send 2,000 men to the new colony in Africa. Reinforce it's defenses, and if possible, continue to expand peacefully. I do not want any enemies among my trade partners.
-Continue to trade with the African nations, lower prices so to allow a greater volume of trade.
-Build a fort on the island of Socotra where five hundred soldiers will be placed.
-Navy is to guard the trade that goes on.
