Update – 1250 AD
The Seljuks and their allies have recaptured most of the Turk-inhabited territory, and also the Saratov province, of the Kuril’tarian empire, many of the Tatar armies trying to regain control having been slaughtered by Turk rebels and the Seljuk and allied soldiers.

Many Malaysian warriors in Australia have been convinced that the orders of their government are mad and harm, not help, the balance. When they heard of the commands to besiege rebelling Australian cities, many refused, and have instead begun attacking the “loyalist” forces, the ones that were willing to carry out the government orders. Sydney, Melbourne, and Perth have been vacated by Malaysian troops and the Australian nobles there have re-established the Australian Republic
In Malaysia itself, the government has fallen, being overthrown by the rebels led by Niriz Naryan, who declared himself the new emperor. Meanwhile, Balist priests have set up instead a theocracy and declared their devotion to pacifism unless attacked, starting with a complete withdrawal from Australia. It is unclear which will become the government of Malaysia, and which will get the support of the army and navy.
Because of this confusion and disorder, the Malaysian-Vietnamese trade is temporarily halted.
The Maoris have also declared that they will join the Australian Republic yet again.
The Germans have amassed huge armies on the Lithuanian border. However, as they were upgrading their weaponry, if the intent was to attack the eastern neighbor, the action could not be carried out while the soldiers were getting used to the new weapons. Nevertheless, the Lithuanians are increasing their military force and fortifying, to cope with the new possibility of a German attack.
Feeling Lithuanian cultural superiority and influence, the city and area of Danzig has detached and joined the Lithuanians, thinking themselves culturally closer to the Baltic Lithuanians than the Germans.
Governmental restructuring is undertaken to a degree in Illinois Empire, to try and eliminate risks of corruption before it happens. (+1 Confidence point)
Catholic unrest continues in Eirian-controlled France and Iberia. Both Marseilles and Madrid have both been sites of major rioting against continued non-Catholic rule.
Toltec ships landed in Yoruba territory. With the disorganization among the Yoruba right now after the end of the civil war, the Toltec settlers were easily able to secure the port city of Conakry as their own, at a cost of only 1 economy point given to the Yoruba.
The Japanese Emperor and King of Korea – both being one and the same – joined the two countries into one, yet again ending Korean independence. Some Korean nobles are starting to rebel, demanding the union to be renounced immediately.
The Travancoris have attacked Afghanistan. With parts of the army being north, involved in the Seljuk-Tatar war, much of the Afghani armies fall to the Travancori soldiers. Both the Persian and Greater Armenian empires also declare war on Travancore now, as per the Zoroastrian Pact. Many Afghani men are sabotaging Travancori supply lines already, as none of the Zoroastrians want to be ruled by the Hindu Travancori empire. Still, all of Afghanistan east of the Indus River is under Travancori control.
TRAVANCORE: -1,200 Infantry, -600 Cavalry
