California continues to expand, spreading the word of their glorious rule all across the land. While many peoples join the Californians, 4 sizeable tribes seek to resist thier rule (Pueblos, Comanches, Sioux, San Francisco ;D). Each is weak on its own, but together they have a chance to cause problems.
Population boom in Korea! The 60% tax deduction on 5 or more child families has caused a huge boom in population, as does the number of people venturing into unknown lands. The economy has taken a small hit, but many believe it is worth it.

Plague, drought, and hunger hit the Nok Kingdom. Following a 4 year drought in many places, much of the Nok wheat is dried up. The only farms remain in limited portions up north. Many people either rely on fish or have starved (-1 economy level, luckily you decided to grow economy this turn). Also, to add to thier troubles, a horrible plague has broken out. It kills 1/5 of its victims and has taken a heavy toll on the army (-1 level). The only good thing to come of this is the fast expansion it has caused. Thousands of families are leaving thier homes to search for new lands ripe for farming.

They are advancing fast and dont seem to be slowing.
