Faction:El Movimiento de Libertad de Isla
Leader: Aaron Perez/Ninja Dude
Classolitician
Credits: 500
Army: 450 Farmers, 100 Militia
Navy: none
Air Force: none
Structures: 1 Base
Government: Dictatorship
Base: Isabella

Spending: No credits will be spent this turn.

Financial plans and speeches:

Aaron will try and show how he is the victim of the corrupt government. He'll give speeches on how he is being framed and targeted for fighting for the right cause. Make it clear that the common people of the islands pose a threat to the corrupt and greedy government.

Farmers will continue to farm when not on duty, selling crops they don't need for extra money.

Encourage everyone to join El Movimiento de Libertad de Isla. Together we will improve Nueva Leon and beyond!

The Arrival of the Mayor:

This will be a very important event for our great movement. But we must play our cards right, for this is a delicated situation!

First, welcome the Mayor polietly and try to make him as comftorable. Make sure that he feels no danger at all.

Next, let the actual issues be discussed. Mostly try to convince the Mayor that he would be much better off cutting off ties with the government of the mainland and instead join Aaron's mission of creating a union between the islands. With his resources and Aaron's charisma they could eventually throw General Manuel down from his position of power and bring order to Nueva Leon.

If he agrees, have Aaron become his second in command.

If he disagrees, show him footage of the raids done on his city by the government and rioters and ask him if he wants it to continue. This should make it very akward for the Mayor and his escort if they wish to stay with the current government.

Just in case the Mayor becomes violent and starts to pose a threat to El Movimiento de Libertad de Isla members he will either be captured or killed (perferably captured). Battalions of Farmers and some of the militia will be waiting outside of the building. If the meeting ends peacefully, they will celebrate and show their love of Isabella. If orders come that the Mayor has become a threat they will storm into the building and capture/kill the Mayor.

It should be known that the meeting will be filmed. If the Mayor doesn't support El Movimiento de Libertad de Isla but doesn't trigger a fight, the film will be released to the public showing how uncaring and evil the Mayor is.

Other notes:

For safety measures, Aaron's second in command, Diego Gomez will be in a safe location away from the meeting in case fighting breaks out. Should Aaron die somehow, he will take over.

Gloating:
In any possible situation, I pretty much win. Even if Aaron dies it will just prove that the government is corrupt and El Movimiento de Libertad de Isla will become supported by huge amounts of people.

If the Mayor is captured, I can hold him hostage and possibly take his place as mayor. If he's killed, Isabella will be incredibly unstable and will be easy to take over.

If I am allowed to become his right hand man, I'll slowly undermine him and gain the support of the people in a safe position. When the time is right, I'll simply have him killed or removed from office.

I felt like posting these orders. It sucks royally that the government took the only option that didn't result in me winning.

- Invest 3 PE into Advanced Rifling

Asylordningen - Danish for 'the asylum agreement'. It is described below:

- If the peaceful demonstrations in Sweden-Norway continue: Rearrange 1 MS into PS. I will let the dissatisfied Swedes have 'political asylum' in Denmark. Especially Norwegians will be allowed to enter Denmark legally. However, they will have to learn Danish, and both the transportation and the education costs. Therefore, I will pay 2 PS into the project, allowing the truthfully Danish people of Norway to return to their 'proper nation'. People should look at the newcomers as 'refugees from a terrible reign'. They are officially looked upon as Norwegians who would rather be Danish than Swedish. Therefore they will be treated without discrimination by Denmark (Also, Norway was a part of Denmark 40 years ago).

The goal of that project is to gain the population that Denmark is lacking to be one of the great powers of the world. If succesful, the program will give the Danish enterprises a much greater workforce, allowing factories to have easier access to work, increasing overall productivity.

Disclaimer: Of course I will not let the whole population of Norway move to Denmark, that would surely ruin my economy. No, I will put a fair cap on the allowed asylum seekers. Presuming that both Norway and Denmark has about 1,75 million residents (http://www.tacitus.nu/historical-atlas/population/scandinavia.htm), I will allow about 65,000 residents to arrive to the Danish Empire. I expect about 40,000 people to arrive though. Especially when considering the terrible possibilities for agriculture in Norway and Sweden, I expect that this will be succesful.

-However, if the peaceful demonstrations have disappeared, simple rearrange both the MS and the PS into Public Spending and spend 2 PE into Improved Railroads. I hope that the said demonstrations will continue though, otherwise it'll be more or less boring.

And please, please, please make Bornholm Danish instead of Swedish. It should be, and you have to edit the map nonetheless.

Orders for N3S III, Turn 7

Spoiler :

Stats
Avaimi - ~Darkening~
Culture: Avaimi, Average
“Religion”: Ytauzi
Income: 750
Military: 1,000 militia (Upkeep: 200)
Manpower: 7,500 men
Description: The Avaimi fled trouble in the northwest, or so it is said, coming to the very edge of the known world and meeting the Prokym. They believe in a philosophy which holds that there are two opposing and complementary forces, the product of which is the world. Their nature is obedience and relative peace.

-The major occurrences in the north will occur during the rules of a man who can be considered the first “king” of the Avaimi. However, before getting to him, I will state what I seem to understand: the Avaimi populace, having recently emigrated into the higher reaches of the Ahm Tain, and the footholds of the Iougha (mountains), have yet to form a 'state'. This means, to me, that there is not a unified nation serving the Avaimi and instead is more or less a lawless realm stretches across the region. The period before the formation of the state is referred to as ' Clyim' period, or the 'Lawless' period.
-The first great occurrence for the Avaimi will under the leadership of the first Thorsrdyn, Roech. Basically a pretty word meaning 'Lawgiver' , the Thorsrdyn is a dictatorial position, with each Thorsrdyn appointing their own heir. This may or may not be a member of their family, and is more likely to be a favored aide or acquaintance. Roech, assuming leadership of the city of Arrile in his very young years (say age eight), can be assumed to be fairly experienced by the time he comes into influence. Taking command of a small force at the age of fifteen, he'll quickly assume the leadership position over the other communities and unite the small communities into the nation of Ashner.
-Roech will move his capital from the city of Arrile to a new, planned city named Asyvedr- roughly translated to 'Realm of Laws”. This city will be dedicatedly planned, with the outlying form constituting of a small palace in the center of the city, with a square format radiating from the center. The city of Asyvedr will be located along the eastern bank of the Ahm Enthur (The West River), which is the river along the far edge of the current Avaimi lands. The city will be elaborately built in stone and wood, and numerous gardens will adorn the cityscape. The city will receive funding from 450 gold coins (income).
-In order to connect the far-flung regions of the state, Roech will order the construction of a large road connecting the cities of Asyvedr and Arrile (the two main communities of the empire). Roech will institute a declaration requiring every village along the road to maintain their section in order to lower the costs. 200 gold coins to support.
-Roech will support the growth of fields alongside the Asyvedr-Arrile road. 50 gold coins.
-Roech will support the growth of towns along the lower portions of of the Ahm Tain.

Domestic Policies

Spoiler :

1.) Rewards: In return for their faithful service in the armies during the conflicts, Vtaityn will order the full dispensation of all funds owed to both the soldiers and all debts owed. Following the annexation of the Prokyr (Prokym?), there will be a strong tendency of the soldiers to leave the armies and settle back into peace. This is the normal for the culture, only utilizing the military when needed, and in order to combat these losses, Vtaityn will offer every man that remains among the armies a grant of land (roughly an acre) in the unpopulated north as a reward. This land will be given freely, and the land tax that is levied will not be collected for five years in order to entice takers.
2.)The Royal Family: At the time, the current Thorsrdyn is Vtaityn, having ruled for the last thirteen years. The throne is currently headed to his son, Áoych, around eight when the update begins. After Áoych, the throne is reserved for Vtaityn's nephew Edayrn, related to the Thorsrdyn through his mother. Aside the two, the throne is held only for the royal family and very little infighting occurs during the passing of the throne. As a note, it is considered a taboo in Avaimian culture to take something that does not belong to you; this marks the strong Avaimian sense of ownership.
3.) The Foundation of Vadathydr and Alusille

With the emphasis placed upon the migration of the populace to the northern parts of Evyn, two new cities will be supported in the region. The first, Vadathydr will be located upon the northern bank of the Ahm Taim and will be a primarily agricultural region; its name is derived from the words meaning “North Bank” (Vada thur)and an ending denoting a city . The other, Alusille is a trading city located upon the northern bank of the Ahm Enthur; its name is derived from the word meaning red (Alus) and an ending applied to mark city names. These two cities will be supported by the movement of the population to the north and by 200 of our income.
4.) The Distribution of Lands: Before the annexation of the Prokym, with the empire constrained to just one ethnic group and one region, the empire was small enough for a single man to rule. But as the Empire continues to grow in size and strength, the Thorsrdyn will begin to show stress of ruling over the growing empire, especially as Vtaityn continues to grow in age. In a move to reduce this stress, Vtaityn will divide the Avaimian region of the empire into five separate districts (Mna), each one placed under the command of a senior trusted advisor of the Thorsrdyn. The five districts (numbered on the map) are that of Croalle (1), Asveydr (2), Arrile (3), Vadathydr (4) and Alusille (5), named after the major city in each region. Aside from the five districts of the Avaimian Evyn, Vtaityn will divide the newly conquered regions into three separate entities: that of Daburille (5), that of Sëddr (6), and that of Colille (7). Each district of the new lands will be ruled by three men: two of Avaimian birth and one of local raising, held in a position below the other two and utilized to ensure the proper ruling of the people.
5.) The Rendering of Coins: As the people continue to grow and develop in contact with outer cultures, there will be a strong drive to render the nation's first monetary system. At this time, there should be a strong prescience of foreign coins (that of the Ayase and Trilui) along the coast, and these coins will be the basis for the new Evyni coins. Thew new coins will be cast of bronze, and each one will be the words meaning “legal tender”; they will be held at value for any foreign coins. It will be a crime for the unauthorized production of any coins, the sentence standing at death for anyone caught.
6.) The Growth of Ytauzi: As of the rule of Vtaityn, any faith aside Ytauzi is considered a crime punishable by death. There is a small loophole in this sentence, allowing for one to worship in peace so long as it is not known, but once their worship becomes public, they forfeit their lives.
The acquisition of knowledge: There will be many new situations for the Evyni as they move into new lands and into new situations. As the war against the Ritti begins to progress, we will be faced with two new challenges: that of dealing with sieges and that of dealing with a naval war. In the first aspect, we will be dealing with the first siege in Avaimian history- that of Nânde (the city above the number 8). During this time, we will employ men- Ritti, Prokym, and Avaimian- skilled in the subject and pay the handsomely for their services. We will also follow such a practice with skill naval captains, employing any- regardless of their past- in exchange for their services.

Orders for YosefNES I, 1751

Spoiler :

Stats

Spoiler :

Spending

Spoiler :

Actions

Spoiler :

1.) The continued enlightened rule of Mohammad Toure the Great Askia.: Having already brought the Songhai empire to a pinnacle unseen in western Africa before, the continued rule of the Great Askia is now focused upon stabilizing the growth and the empire. As such, he will revise the provincial boundaries of the empire (originally set during the rule of Sunni Ali Ber), having his scholars organize and divide the empire into an odd number of provinces based upon local ethnicities and geophysical boundary lines. This will be ordered in the early part of the year 1503 and the Great Askia will only give his scholars a single year to complete the task. Make it well known to those who are appointed to conduct the subdivisions that their failure will be met with strict punishments and that their successes will be met with great reward. (1 point invested into rearranging the subdivisions of the Empire (aimed at stability?))
2.) The Grace of Allah upon the state of the Songhai: As of the year of 1503, the Empire of the Songhai is a strictly Islamic state. This meaning that all government positions, all army occupations, and all citizens recognized must be of the Islamic faith in order to function. While the state will not persecute any who do not believe in the Prophet, it will now be a requirement in order to serve in any of those functions. In according with such, the Great Askia will now claim his governance through the will of Allah. As a tangent, the Great Askia will warn the heathens of the Mossi Kingdoms against persecutions of the Faithful. Such an act upon the part of the three will be a guarantee of war.
3.) The Patronage of the Scholars of Timbuktu and Others: Yet another move to strengthen his empire, the Great Askia will patron both the schools in Timbuktu and the scholars who dwell in the city. In order to lure the bright minds of Europe and Africa to the great city, a select number of government agents will travel to the various locales and promise great rewards for service in the name of the Askia. In addition to these patronages and bribes, the Askia will support the construction and growth of a number of schools in the capital and the few other important cities (Jenne, etc). These schools will focus upon the expansion of Arabic writing (both in service of Arabic and the adoption of the script to serve the Songhai tongue), mathematics, religious sciences, and the government duties. As a note, any who accept the offer of the Askia will do not necessarily need to be of the Islamic faith. In return for their services to the Great Askia, a blind eye will be turned to their religious practices in the city of Timbuktu and they will be left in peace. (4 points invested in the Education of the people.)
4.) The Expansion of the Civil Service of the Empire of the Songhai and the Implementation of the Sharia: unlike his predecessor, the Great Askia is a keen believer in the duty of the civilian to his government. Having begun the processes of setting up schools to educate the bright of the empire, he will logically appoint those worthy as administrators of the provinces and mayors of the towns. In addition to the highest levels of the government, a number of men will be placed under the command of the mayors and administrators to ease in the governing. These men will be responsible for collecting taxes, administering the laws of the Empire, and ensuring the stability and growth of the people. Unlike his predecessors, Mohammad Toure will allow for any man from any clan to serve in these positions, no longer requiring them to be part of the elite. As a tangent, only the provinces and towns will receive administrators- the clan and chief levels may continued to govern as they choose, so long as they abide the rule of the Great Askia. In a final note, the Sharia will be implemented into the criminal system. (2 points invested in the government.
5.) The Will of the Great Askia towards his neighbors and His Faith: In tune with his Islamisation of the Songhai state, Mohammad Toure will seek to increase the influence of the religion amongst his neighbors. He will patron the construction of a number of Madrasahs throughout not only the Empire but amongst the empire's neighbor, the Djolof Empire. In addition to this, he will fund the preaching of Imans traveling through both the Djolof Empire and the Mossi Alliance. A note is that should the Mossi persecute the imans or act against the Faith, the Great Askia will take this as a personal insult. Aside from these minor actions, the Great Askia will fund the construction of a grand madrasah Islamiyyah in the city of Gao. 2 points used to fund the growth of Islam and the construction of the Mohammad Toure Madrasah.)
6.) The Maneuvering of the Armies of the Songhai: The armies of this period will be supported with one eco point (1 eco point to support the armies). In addition to this support, Mohammad Toure will improve the quality of his troops by increasing their training and purchasing weapons from Portugal. (Two points used to raise six thousand troops from tolerable to good.). In a final note, the Great Askia will order the following distribution of the armies: 10 thousand men (tolerable) and six thousand men (good) will man the border with the Mossi Alliance. Four thousand men (good) will expand our borders along the Atlantic ocean along our west coast while an additional four thousand men (good) will expand our empire south along the Niger river. (1 point used to support the expansions.) Note, should the Mossi persecute the Faithful, the armies are to move against them and attack them one by one, overwhelming them individually and isolating the remainders.

The Year 1751

Spoiler :

-January 12th,
The Franco-Brazilian Treaty of 1751 is issued. The treaty, signed by Emperor Joao V of Brazil and by King Philippe VII of France, consists of the sale of the Brazilian Indian Colonies to the French Crown. Specifically, this will be the sale of Goa, Salsette, Baçaim, and Bombaim [1], commonly referred to as the Brazilian Indian Colonies. The price for the sale is, without a doubt, quite cheap considering the price of (2 eco). This will (hopefully) begin the Brazilian policy of finding neutral ground, and improving our standing with the French and Spanish. The Treaty of 1751 is agreed upon by the Brazilian side mostly by the support of the heir José.

-January 23rd
Emperor Joao V will announce his 'official' heir: crown prince José, the current Prince of Portugal. I know we discussed the age of Joao V on AIM, but I looked him up and his birth date (otl) was 10/22/1689, granting him his sixty-second birthday in the year 1751. I've decided not to officially kill him off, but to allow you to choose the date he dies (naturally) whenever you feel its appropriate. Upon his official recognition, José will assume the title “Prince of Portugal and Heir to the Brazilian Empire. For the record, should his father pass in the year, he will assume the ruling name Emperor José I of Brazil. The main thing is that upon his announcement, José will take a more important role in the governing of the empire. Upon his announcement, Joao V will appoint his son as Governor of Portugal and Lisbon.

-February 17th
Crown Prince José will arrive in Lisbon, to begin his role as the Governor of the city and province of Portugal. The main reason for his arrival in the city is to begin the Crown's attempt to put an end to the grumblings of the Portuguese populace. This will be done in a three-prong initiative: first, the Empire is to be proclaimed the “Empire of Brazil and Portugal”, an attempt to ease the damage done to the native pride (at becoming a colony.) The second will the appointment of a Vice-Rei to Portugal, a move explained in detail below. The third will be a program declared the Renascimento, a program aimed at giving a rebirth to the economic strength of Portugal. This will be done by José giving out specific grants to worthy individuals to fund the growth of industries, agriculture, and crafts. Specifically, he will fund the growth of the Wine Trade, Textiles, and ship production. (1 point used to fund growth in Portugal).

-February 20th
Empero Joao V will declare the implementation and the expansion of the Vice-Rei system into the Brazilian Empire and Colonies. Officially, he will create the following:
The Vice-Rei of Portugal: A noble lower than the Crown, with authority over Portugal and the Azores. The First Vice-Rei of Portugal will be the Crown Prince José .
The Vice-Rei of Northern Afica: The Cape Verde islands and Portuguese North Africa.
The Vice-Rei of the Kongo
The Vice-Rei of Brazilian East Africa (BEA).

The Four Vice-Reis will still be subject to the Emperor's demands, and should they fail to properly function in their roles, they will be removed with no hesitation. In order to ensure the proper loyalty and obedience to the Crown, court agents will make random trips to the Vice-Reis (without notice) and will report back to the Emperor their findings. Should they fail to return, or be seen as corrupt their selves, they will be replaced with a second agent. After that, the Emperor will forcibly interfere by dispatching troops.

-February 29th
José will continue his policy of domestic reformation by creating the 'Código Civil' (Civil Code), a long list of regulations set before the populace of Brazil to govern the populace. The Code will be mostly ignored for lower infractions, through it will be fully implemented to crack down of public meetings (which are now declared illegal without the permission of the Vice-Rei). In addition to these reforms, José will order the expansion of the Portuguese Guard. By May 2nd , the Portuguese Guard will consist of 5 Infantry divisions and 1 Guard unit. The troops will mostly follow a peaceful occupation, with the 5 infantry divisions being natives of Portugal. The Guard Unit will be composed of Brazilians, and should remain loyal.

-May 16th
A massive project will be begun (an actual project-project) in Brazil, aimed at increasing the growth and prosperity of Brazil. For this reason, Emperor Joao will order the beginning of the 'O Caminho Infinito', meant as “the Endless Road”. This will be a series of connected roads beginning in the city of Curitiba, and follow northwards along a general path to and through the 'major' cities of Sao Paulo, Rio de Janero, and Salvador da Baha. From here, it'll swing northwards and pass through a few cities before finally ending in Sao Luis. The main reason for the road is to increase the connections between the bastions of Brazil, and to allow for a greater movement along the land routes. (Effects: +Curitiba eco center, +1 Infrastructure level)(3 points invested).

-June 2nd
Noting the massive (and I mean MASSIVE) amounts of land going unused in Brazil, the greatest goal of the administration is to increase its population. In addition to supporting the growth of large families, Joao will particularly fund the growth of immigration to Brazil from Europe. Our (hopeful) main source of immigrants will come from Portugal, through we will attempt to draw from all of Europe, particularly Spain, France, the Germanies, Italy, and the Scandinavian countries. We will do this by paying individuals possessing charisma to travel to these countries and preach the wonders of Brazil, and by removing all limits placed on immigration. Finally, Joao will implement what will be called the “Subvenção de Cinco Ano” (The Five Year Grant), a program in which a person is given three free acres of land after they work said land for five years. The land offered in this deal consists of land in the region of Sao Paulo, specifically the modern day states of Mato Grosso do Sul and Goiás. Officially, anyone (including immigrants) can receive land, through immigrants would be lucky to claim an acre.

-June 4th
The final act of the year, Joao will do much the same as his son with Brazil. He will fund the growth of industries, pouring large amounts of money into the cities of Porto Alegre, Sao Luis, etc, to increase the local industries and trade.

-Note: Throughout the year, Joao will begin to implement a simple plan of rewarding those men who excel at their jobs by either a cash sum, a land grant, or an official title. For example, if Lisbon was to revolt, and a commander in the army successfully put that revolt down, he might be rewarded with a large land grant in the interior of Brazil.

[1]The Brazilian Indian Colonies: The names I have supplied are entirely guesses, and if they're wrong, please just ignore the supplied and input the correct names. Basically, I'm selling off my possessions in India to the French. That is, the four coastal colonies-three in the north, and one in the south. Osvalo dos Santos will lead a team from the Brazilian Kongo up the namesake river (the Congo, middle branch of the river is what I'm referring to) in the east, while in the west José Silva leads an expedition up the Zambezi river -proclaimed as the 'O Rio dos Santos'(Saints' River) for the Portuguese explorers. The two groups will travel with light groups composed of professional soldiers and native guides-men. (I point used to support the exploration).

-The Vice-Reis are regarded as governors of the colonies of Brazil. Specifically, this is Portugal, West Africa, the Kongo, and BEA. While the northern region of Brazil (named at this time Maranhão) is technically a colony, the region is not considered a Vice-Rei because it is administered by the Emperor directly- and yes, by Emperor I mean his advisors.
-José will arrive in Lisbon to attempt to put an end to the grumblings in Portugal. To do this, he will attempt to win over local leaders, fund economic growth, and heal the rift that is growing between Portugal and Brazil. In addition, public gatherings (meaning large gatherings, I.e over fifty non-related people) are regulated illegal and grounds to be forcibly exiled to either Brazil or the BEA. Should a clear-cut leader of the grumblings evolve, he will be immediately exiled to the Kongo and held under guard.
-The Brazilian army will be arranged as following: 5 Infantry Divisions in Portugal, 1 Infantry division in North Africa, 3 divisions in the Kongo, 3 divisions in the BEA, and 3 infantry divisions in Brazil. 1 Guard will be stationed in Portugal, while the other will be held in reserve in Sao Paulo. The navy will be arranged as: 5 frigates in Portugal, 5 frigates in NA, 5 in the Kongo (specifically along the Kongo basin), 10 Frigates in the BEA (specifically at Zanzibar). 3 SotL will be based in Brazil, while the other seven will be stationed at Zanzibar.
- Should the VOC- or Oman- attack our forces, we will fight a defensive war. Our naval forces will be shifted to allow for all unneeded forces to be present in Zanzibar, and we will attempt to hold the line there.
-Finally, the actions undertaken by Joao V are not at all that revolutionary from otl. He did spread a large amount of money attempting to rebuild Portugal after the Spanish invasion, through he tended to focus more upon the arts than the actual economy. My main move is to actually focus upon that economy. After a few weeks, Joao will coin the phrase “Trabalhos Progressivos” to describe his actions, eventually resulting in national policy of Progressivism. The policy, defined on a much more simpler level than otl, consists of actions designed to “progress” the national state, to elevate it to a higher level. This can be taken in different, through the perception of Joao is that it means the strengthening of the Empire by an increase in manpower, by an increase in prestige, and by an increase in its economy.

The Vice-Reidom of Portugal

Spoiler :

-José I, heir to the Crown, is the current governor of the division. In keeping with the current 'Renascimento' program, José will continue to give out grants throughout the year to the proper people. In addition to granting funds toward promising farmers, the fund will be directed to the city of Évora in order to fund the growth of the city's manufacturing specialties. Finally, in addition to the other two areas, José will issue a smaller amount to the naval facilities lining the coast. (1 point invested into Portugal.)
-The reforms of the previous year, basically banning large group gatherings and legalizing the deportation of any dissenters from Portugal towards the colonies, will be expanded upon this year continuing the “Civil Code” program. The biggest additions for the year is the requirement of any person to allow Soldiers into their home to inspect for illegal material and the 'official' banishment of any publicized work that speaks prominently of revolution, republicanism, or any other like material. The punishment for possessing any of these crimes is immediate deportation to either the inner Kongo or Mozambique.
- The immigration program will continue to be promoted broadly, hopefully reaching those British and Nordic regions. I'll mention once again that any person immigrating into Brazil will be eligible to receive a tract of land in the northern region of São Paulo . Our methods for spreading the news will be the same as last year: agents preaching the good news in the capitals of the other nations (Madrid, Paris, London, Stockholm) and spreading the (very) tempting offer to the peasants and rabble that can make the trip.
- In the latter part of the year, José I (notice the official reference to the Crown Prince, not the current Emperor) will issue a statement denouncing the American revolution as nothing more than a “barbaric attempt to destabilize the the standing of the functioning world”. Not so much an attack up the Americans their selves, his words are more meant towards their current government style (Republicanism), something that the Brazilian Empire is very set against. In accordance with his statement, José will rebuff any attempted diplomacy upon the American behald and will refuse to recognize their state as independent.
- In accordance with the tidings of the Salvador court, the armies and naval forces stationed in Portugal will be withdrawn from the province in order to support the campaign. Except for a small garrison left behind in Lisbon consisting of two Infantry and one Guard, all forces are ordered to depart in early February. Should anything occur when the troops withdraw, use the superior organization and training of the troops to put any of the rebels into a grave.

The Vice-Reidom of the Kongo

Spoiler :

-The current governor of the Kongo is Inigo Rocha, a minor land-owning noble who's greatest claim to fame is a large estate some miles outside the city of Curitiba. After accomplishing minor successes in whatever Academy you can think of, Rocha was selected to led the small division of the empire. Being so close to the center of the empire, Rocha should prove to be among the loyalest of the Vice-Reis and will hopefully carryout his duties without interruption.
-Any political prisoner of the state will be exiled to the interior of the Kongo, specifically to the city above the trade center. They were be put to work in whatever way is the most profitable, and will essentially function as slaves. If they attempt to escape, they are to be put to death.
-The continuing growth of the Kongo will be a major focus point of the empire. With the cession of the Indian colonies, Africa will become the main center of expansion offered to the empire, and as such we will attempt to make the most of it. The major course of action will to continue along the major rivers, mapping the land as they go and setting up small (minute) outposts in crucial spots. In addition, they are to grant small gifts to the chiefs of any tribes we encounter, encouraging them to accept their place in the Brazilian empire. (1 point used in the expansion of the Kongo).
-There will be no forces dedicated the division except for a single infantry division.

The Vice-Reidom of Brazilian North Africa
-The current governor of the BNA is Eduardo Salgordo, an older gentleman from a Portuguese noble family. His role in the empire is entirely minute, doing nothing other than continuing the expansion of the two colonies.

The Vice-Reidom of the Brazilian East Africa

Spoiler :

-The current governor of the Brazilian East Africa will be Domingos Antunes. a minor noble from the Portuguese city of Évora. Antunes is mostly a dynamic character, quick to act in accordance with his primary education from the Catholic Church. Through he will hopefully be loyal enough to the Emperor (both Joao and José ), Antunes will be given the most freedom of all the Vice-reis- virtually a free reign over the BEA so long as he keeps in accordance with the policies issued by the Emperor. This will be done to ensure that the distance from the capital will not interfere in the governing of the region, and allowing Antunes to better respond to developing situations.
-The current capital of the Brazilian East Africa will be the city of Zanzibar. Well suited for the role due to its nature (consisting of an easily defended island), Zanzibar will fall into line for extensive investment during this period. In keeping with the time period, Antones will focus Zanzibar's economy upon two subjects: spices and slaves, and in accordance with the policies of Salvador, naval manufacturing. The first major occurrence will be the official construction of three naval factories that will be under the ownership of the Brazilian state. These factories will focus on the construction of naval elements, giving them a slight edge in the region. Following this, Antunes will order the seizure of the small islands of Pemba and Chumbe, both known for the exceptional cloves, in April. This will place the islands directly under the command of the Crown (and by relationship, the Rei of the BEA). Officially, upon the seizure and of the islands inhabitants that are slaves will be freed, and replaced by state-slaves imported from the coast. (1 point invested into the city of Zanzibar)
-In May of 1752, Antones will issue a declaration warning any Oman-born Arab within Empire borders that any crime committed will be punished by slavery. This will set up a pretext for the beginning of the downplay of Omani-actions within Africa and will serve as a later pretext for war. In practice, the ordinance will consist of any arab convicted of performing a crime being reduced to the status of a slave. It will be during this month that Domingos Antunes will officially 'bring up' the Papal Bull of “Dum Diversas”, which declared the right of the Portuguese (and Spanish) kings to “ enslave Saracens and Pagans to indefinite slavery”, using his relationship to the Emperor to justify his expansion of the Slave Trade.
-In November of 1752, Antunes will patron the slave trade in Zanzibar, removing all taxes that would be levied on the sale of slaves. Eventually, Zanzibar will earn the nickname “A Cidade Escrava”, or “The Slave City.”
-Backtracking a little, Antunes will receive the answer for a request sent to the Emperor back in early April of 1751. The request, asking Emperor Joao V for permission and assistance in declaring war against Oman, was granted in the late part of 1751. In accordance with this, and the orders put out by the Emperor, the navy of Brazil will begin to accumulate in Zanzibar throughout the year 1752.Ships will arrive in the city, and depending on the capacity of the naval bases, will be either stationed there or at the other two regions (Zanzibar and Mogadishu). The troops are not to attack any Omani holding, they are just being stationed there to prepare for the war.

Brazil
-Shockingly enough, seeing that Joao is still emperor, he won't actually do much this year. Blame it on increasing age, sickness, whatever but the only thing he will order is the continuance with our project. (3 points invested in the project). And yes, he is getting old....
