Espania: The Golden Age

It has been so many years sinse Espania has arisen from a small wandering tribe to a renoun world power entering its Golden Age. Many wonder, "how?", how was this magnificently done?

I must keep my secrets to myself and add to its mystique. The land of Espania consist of 6 States and 2 to come. Each governing themselves under one nation, one rule, Amirsan. They are free to speak thier language and make laws as well as elect thier own governer but must always answer to thier king. The borders of these states are shown in this newly revised map of Spain and its neigboring countries.

1. Madrid
2. Portugal
3. Basque
4. Catalan
5. Gaul
6. Morroco
7. Spanish-France(still pending)
8. Canary Islands (still pending)

Those are the 8 states of Espania.

As many rumors are heard of this new classical age, I begin to wonder, what is this? It sounds mysterious. Much more than new weapons and battlefield tactics. Maybe it's something more to culture and education! I new look in Espania's Culture!

I decided to research as much as possible of this new epidemic spreading. The Classical Age. I want it. I need to see it. I was determined.

I called all of my scholors and hired new apprentices and decided to make a plan. Everyone went back to the same lab and began to think, think for days and days. Soon their sons and daughter began to think and think. And thier great grand children... until the classical age was discovered.

Arabia

Things had been going pretty well for Harun Al-Rashid. With no enemies on the borders and a mighty army, he thought it was perhaps time to begin focusing on the finer things in life. For the first time in many years, wisemen and scholars, scribes and artisians, began to recieve extra funds from the caliphate. The result wa many great advancements in education which resulted in brighter minds throughout the lands. Harun Al-Rashid ordered these new intellectuals to go forth and get rid of the stupidity plaguing much of Arabia's populace. In the meanwhile, the brave warriors of Arabia were to get rid of the barbariens plaguing the land between Mecca and Basrah.

From Arabia
To Persia

Once again, would you agree to become our vassal? You'd have control of everything in your empire, but would follow our military directions when we give them.

Persia to Arabia:
We have no need for vassalship, we are slightly offended that you think you could rule us, as we are the true power of the mideast.

You are foolish to think so, but we will leave you be for now.
 
Great times had evolved from the halls of Sinhala. But with great times there are bad times inwhich were used to define times in general. These times would be now. Sinhala is faced with war with one of the most powerful nations in the world, a nation that, if they were to loose, would take Sinhala down with her. The Consul ordered for the continuing mobilization and moral raising of the troops. If the Aryans were going to destroy Sinhala, Sinhala would give them a fight that they would never forget.

In another note, the nation of Mahada. They have arisen out of the ashes of Dravidia, but were nothing like the former nation. They are the apex of philosophy and scientific evolvment. Surely they would adopt the Republic system, surely they known the benefits of self rule.

To Mahada
From Sinhala

We ask to be friends. Not for an alliance, but to be recognized as friends from your nation of intellegence. We wish to teach you the secrets of the Republic, tell you how the government works, so which your people can benefit from it as well. With your intellegence and amount of philosophers, it should not be hard for such a transition and to run such a government.

To Aryan
From Sinhala

Once again we ask that your back off. Mind your own business, and we will mind ours.

ORDERS
Increase economy.
Continue to raise moral and mobilize the troops, along the borders of the Aryans.

South Africa

The new nation had risen from the ashes so to speak. The New ruler Death to command of the many people and proclaimed himslef leader. Many men lined up to go for the army. However, from rumors told around the campfire,his nation was quite weak compared to others abroud. Death decided to go around and spread the philosophy that it was better to smart than strong and decided to concentrate on his peoples education. This he thought would lead to a better army in the end.


Orders
increase education by building many schools
have smartest men try researching next age (bronze for as long as it takes)
 
Australia finally succeeds in claiming the coastline for itself. They begin to exert pressure on the Geystral colony and even cause a few Geystral colonists to cross the border and become Australian. Even more impressive they begin a extensive educational reform policy. Increasing the number of smart people in Australia.

In Southeast Asia the Geystral Army does an about face and swiftly strikes the unprotected southern flank of the Davarati capital. The Thais and Vietnamese had settled in for a long siege but the swift and seemingly crazed attack of the Geystral troops overwhelmed the Davarati defenses and sacked the capital, but only after egregious losses. The plunder from the sack does stimulate the Geystral economy even more.

The inexorable advance of Canada continues! It seems no one can stop the new Canadian juggernaught. They charge northward yet again into Montagnis land. It seems the King had forgotten that while the Northern Alliance was dead the Hudson Alliance was still up and kicking, and stronger than ever. With the Canadian Invasion the Cree and Winnebago declare war on the Canadians and the Winnebago’s meet with success in pushing Canada from their ancestral lands. The Ojibwa end up falling to the Cree and accept them as a protectorate. Even worse for Canada is that the Mimacs have not accepted Canadian rule and take the opportunity to assemble in open revolt of Canadian rule. With the Canadian Army up north fighting there are no troops available to put down the insurrection.

The Sicilians take advantage of a power vacuum in the Hittite kingdom to viciously turn their defense into an offense. They push from their fortifications and advance rapidly on the capital, but don’t have enough troops to effectively garrison the countryside and keep their advance up. The arrival of new Hittite troops from the easternmost parts of the Kingdom also slows their advance to a halt. The Sicilians also complete their Wonder of the World the Sicilian main street, a monument to economic growth.

In the Mideast a new power emerges, the Median Empire. They are a powerful people who migrated from central Asia and within a century had subjugated a large portion of their weaker neighbors. The Persians, not content to be outclassed, and lead by a new young and very intelligent king, Cyrus, embark on a campaign for the Median capital of Hamadan. Their advance progresses well and time will tell if this is a new period in mideast history.

The Arabians are the first to find out about these new developments and it now becomes clear why the Persians refused to become a military vassal. They do little save increasing their education and expanding deeper into the deep expanses of the Arabian desert.

On the Indian Subcontinent the Aryans attack the Singhalese. Finding their new government to be an affront to the Aryan King their armies advance on a broad front against determined Singhalese resistance. The Aryans outnumber the troops from Sinhala but they had been preparing for this war for generations and doggedly hold their ground allowing only minor penetration of Aryan troops.

Spain enters a period of prosperity. For the first time in many, many years the people of Spain are at peace and they rejoice at that fact. They try to outflank the Mauritanians near Morocco, by sending their 5 most advanced triremes filled with 200 men to land further south on the coast. They succeed in beating the Mauritanians to the punch and are able to land some troops but one trireme was lost with all hands, over 40 men.

In the southernmost reaches of Africa a new nations emerges. From their capital in Johannesburg the South Africans are established under the leader Death who promises one of the smartest nations on the planet.
