Heh. By establishing the "Protectorate of Vatican"?
Madrid, Spain
General Frederick Chavez
"Sir, the Pope did not recieve his troop deployments as he had planned....he wants an explanation." stated the diplomatically dressed man at the front of General Chavez's desk. He stared at the General, whos back was to him, jingling the cross necklance hanging from his neck. You could tell this was an ambassador from the Papal States.
"Well of course, ambassador." Chavez twirled his chair, to face the man,"tell the Pope he will recieve his soldiers within the year. North Africa has mobilized against the righteous subjugating, so also tell him it may be any of the 3 North African states."
Satisfied, the ambassador smiled and left. Left to himself again, Chavez thought to himself...Ferdinand leaves the dirty work to ME does he...*sigh* this is a Republic isnt it? I could just RUN for president...Chavez chuckled to himself at the thought.
Mexico City, New Spain (soon to be Mexico)
It was a small, musty room. Supposedly, it was the head of Mexico's government operations since the rebel forces captured Mexico City months ago, but to Marcus Perez it was just another dusty room in the hellhole he called Mexico. Noone's arrived yet, damnit I knew I came early! Filing through more paperwork for the upcoming negotiations, he heard a knock on the door at the end of the room. Slowly, Marcus stood and walked to the door, opening it. In came 5 representatives of the Mexican revolutionary government and 4 from Spain, who began to sit at opposite ends of a large circular table. Marcus sat at the head, and began the negotiation meeting.
"Welcome gentleman. I hope we can all act as such and agree to a proposal, as it is clear to all of us hear that both our countries wish for a speedy resolution. Now if a-" Marcus was cut off by a Mexican representative at the opposite end,"We have already come to an agreement. All of North American New Spain, excluding Central America and Cuba shall fall to the Mexican government." Everyone except Marcus nodded thier heads. Marcus was rather taken aback....why was he even here? "Very...well. I wish you couldve told me this before I traveled out here. Sign this document proving the agreement, and the war will finally come to an end." All reps signed, including Marcus, who rather frustratingly stormed out of the building. Its suffocating in this godforsaken land....It will feel nice coming back to Spain, I heard theres even another war going on, and as they say, a representatives job is never done!

1816 Year Without a Summer
National News
The year started out normally, spring came at the right time and the snow melted, but then summer never came. The weather remained at a cool spring temperature with pouring rains in Northern Europe. Autumn came early, and then winter, one of the Coldest in recorded history. Needless to say the crops in Europe turned out less than well that year.
Sweden was one of the less affected nations, because of its far northern climate and the population used to the weather. A few setbacks to the economy, and less food than normal characterized the year, but overall the country made it easy. The military build up continues under the pressure from the Aristocracy, while the Library system is built under the Liberals pressure. All seems well in the Far North.
Holstein, in the North, suffers a severe setback. Food shortages begin as early as May, and continue throughout the year. Traders keep raising prices, and soon the peasants simply cannot pay for bread, and disorder starts. Amidst these worries the planned training and education programs take a step back, and the government tries to solve the problems with hunger.
United Kingdom is one of the hardest hit nations. In an island, not producing enough food as it is, and having to import it the UK was in a horrible situation when crops fell short and everyone stopped exporting. Thankfully, a few brilliant British ministers organized a vast effort to move food from the colonies to the mother country. After a very troubling summer and autumn, and a hit to the economy, the British managed to last out the winter on colonial food. Work into reforms continues to be done, and a number of scientists at the London Academy begun working on new technologies.
The single country that suffered most from the crop failures was Prussia. With little government involvement in public life it was difficult to organize a relief effort. Prussian soldiers, hanging around cities, when times got hard started robbing civilians; there were instances of the military raiding villages and killing people for food. Desperate attempts by the government to relieve the situation continuously fell short of success.
Russia survived the year by putting more pressure on the Ukrainian serfs who provide most of the nations food. And as the result only farmers in the north knew that food crops were horrible this year. The Russian government moved against the liberal Polish Duke. The Army of Poland surrounded Warsaw and ordered the Warsaw Government to integrate Poland into Russia. After a long deliberation the Poles complied and Poland was integrated into Russia as a Grand Duchy.
When everyone suffers someone has to benefit, and this year it was Sicily and Naples. The nation had the largest food production and trading in Europe, and sold it for hugely inflated prices. The profit was unimaginable, greater than the profits from 5 previous years combined, but it made Naples the object of hatred for many who suffered through the winter. Liberal policy of welcoming all refugees, including Muslims from North Africa angers many, and there are attacks on the newcomers in many areas of the country. On the other hand the Reactionaries welcome the use of criminals as slave labor, but the criminals do now, and have revolted in two camps, leading to bloodshed there.
Papal States are barely touched by the winter, since Naples is close and trade flourishes. The Completion of the University of Rome attracts many students to Rome, but the idea of granting scholarships to peasants is seen as ridiculous by the more conservative circles that refuse to attend because of it. Soldiers are recruited in the Papal States, and two new divisions are formed to be sent to Beylik. The Pope tries to do the same in Beylik, however the Muslims in Beylik are not too keen on signing up for the Popes army.
The Netherlands begins preparations for the shortage of food as soon as spring turns bad. The government spends a lot of money in order to buy and store foodstuffs, and saves most of their citizens from hunger this winter. Word in the Netherlands on a new and efficient railroad continues and first tests have been made, but it is still far from completion.
Spain is not hit as hard as most nations. There is hunger, but almost no starvation from the winter. The nation is continuing to militarize though and it appears that war in North Africa will spread soon.
Switzerland is on the verge of collapse. The small mountain country imports almost all of it food stuffs, and there were none to import this year. With the better part of the winter still ahead it is not clear what the government will or for that matter even can do to relieve the situation.
Mecklenburg is hit. Hard. The government begins a program to recruit most 18-24 year olds into the army, and so a lot of the young peasant force is gone from the fields, already lowering the food supplies. And then the winter hits. The army is hungry, many roam the countryside in search of food, many desert. The training program organized by the government fails in its tracks as the army refuses to cooperate, and there is talk of open revolt. Pro-German propaganda is spread throughout the country, but the notion of a Great German Empire does not mix well with hungry and starving peasants roaming the countryside.
Hanover is hit almost as badly as Mecklenburg. The government has invested huge sums into foreign projects, and when the hunger comes simply does not have the money to help its citizens. Hunger spreads fast, and the government scratches the industrialization plan in order to help the citizens at least somewhat. The army, as in other cases, is hungry and looking for food everywhere, but this time they are given orders to fight, and not only hunger now, but also war will devastate northern Germany.
Wars
Beylik
With the help of the Algiers navy the Beylik navy reorganized itself, and the two navies combined met the Papal fleet off the coast of Tunis. Suffering more casualties the Muslims however did not give up and after a long and tedious battle the Catholics retreated. The reinforcements to Beylik were stopped.
The 40,000 strong Algerian army poured across the border and assaulted the Western Papal Army. Outnumbered more than 4 to 1 the Catholics had nowhere to run, and after a bloody 4 days the Popes army surrendered to the Muslims.
In the East the Papal Armies are doing much better. Since the Ottomans did not get involved the 18000 strong Papal army easily advances against the scattered 25000 army of Beylik.
Morocco
It is not completely clear what Spain wanted to achieve with the invasion of the strongest North African country. It begun with an attack on the Moroccan fleet, and the two almost evenly matched fleets continued to pound each other for 2 days before the inconclusive battle ended.
Spaniards then landed in Morocco and proceeded to take the northern cities against a small Northern army of Morocco. However by the time the Southern Moroccan army arrived to the North the picture changed. It was now the Spaniards outnumbered caught on a small peninsula, and the only way to retreat is back home, if that Moroccans do not stop their fleet that is.
Oldenburg
Hanover planned a brilliant offensive against Oldenburg, which could have very well worked if not for the conditions of the 1816. Hungry and tired Hanoverian troops crossed into Oldenburg, and against orders not to touch civilians started pillaging the land. The conflict never got to a siege, as the Hanover troops pillaged the Oldenburg land and then withdrew back to Hanover and refused to fight.
