1 division = 10,000 men and 10 artillery guns
If a division suffers casualties I will use decimals to represent that
1 squadron = 10 ships

[size=+2]Poland: Kingdom of Echoes[/size]
Warsaw, Poland
Konstantin paced back and forth in his study, gazing intently out the wide bay window onto the city square below. Warszawsa was a living, breathing, vibrant city; it teamed with life, so brilliant and so full. The life so present in Warszawsa was not the glaring, garish, colorful life of Paris or Rome. No, it was a simpler, more primal spirit; the people of this city went calmly about their business, living their lives, as they had done for centuries. Whatever King or Congress ruled this city, whatever wars were fought or peaces won, the people of Warszawsa just kept on living, one day at a time. It was this simplicity, this seeming perpetuality, that endeared this city and its people to the young Grand Duke. Warszawsa had seen many battles and housed many Kings; like this country, she had seen famine, fire, foreign invasions -- tragedy seemed drawn to this land moreso than any other God had created. Perhaps, Konstantin thought silently to himself, it is this continual tragedy, more than any nation should have to bear, that has made these people so strong and so resilient.
The Grand Duke and Imperial Governor took a seat at his desk. In the square outside his window, a young man hawked loaves of bread to passers-by. A young girl sold flowers from a cart; an old man bought one for his wife as they walked by. It was these simple things that endeared the Poles to Konstantin Pavlovich; their enjoyment of the simple pleasures of life, their hardiness, their seemingly unending patience in the face of hardship that would bring most Muscovites to tears.
Moskva. Pavlovich laughed quietly as he thought of it. The city of his ancestors, the Romanov Tsars of Russia. Its tall onion domes and dark, narrow alleys lined with red-brick buildings, aged black. Its bitter cold and biting winds. His kin called Moskva home; but he did not. He had lived in Poland little more than a year, since his appointment as Imperial Governor by his brother, the Tsar, and yet for him Warszawsa was home. In the city's palace, in her streets, in her squares and her garrisons, Warszawsa was his home more than Moskva would ever be.
The Grand Duke shook his head, shook off the idle thoughts that had drawn his attention away from his work. He look down at the papers on his desk: military reports, legislation recently passed by the Sejm, diplomatic briefs from France, Russia, and Austria, and Prussia. It appeared the military situation was slowly improving, with the recruiting and training of new Polish regiments independent of the Russian army. Everything else seemed to be in order; no uprisings, no rebellions, no major legislation of diplomatic disasters. Konstantin looked up to see the black silhouette of a bird against the sun as it shined just above the treeline. Smiling, he picked up his pen and set back to work on his administrative duties.

I would gladly take Russia... BUT I really don't like the way it is limited to Europe. I mean, how am I supposed to conquer California if North America isn't in?!

King Williem I Announces a great time of Reforms ahead of us

The Kingdom of Spain - Plus Ulterius
King Fernando VII of Spain
Finally, it was over. The French occupation of Spain was ended and thier army pushed out in the Peninsular' War, where Spain's allies in Great Britain helped aswell. Joseph Bonaparte, the fake King who attempted to bring Spain under total control of the Napoleonic Empire of France, was deposed and in the Congress of Vienna, a victorious Spain had thier new ruler King Fernando VII recognized by all of Europe.
Fernando was by no means a tyrannical warmonger, but his authoritarian tendencies were well known by the Spanish people. Many feared he would revoke the Cortes Generales creation of the La Pepa, or also called the Constitution of 1812 officially. Infact, in the new King's first speech, many expected a revokation of the La Pepa, but he stunned all when he declared he would abide by the Constitution. The next day, the Fernando rode to Cadiz and shook hands with the members of the Cortes Generales himself.
The First Republic of Spain had been born.
Despite these monumentous changes and advances in thought, the Republic of Spain has many daunting challenges to face. King Fernando VII and the Cortes Generales have to work together to solve these, or the whole Republic could crumble before thier eyes.
Perhaps the largest obstacle is exactly what to do with Spain's New World colonies. Rebellions had erupted all over South America, and in Central America, but the most violent was easily the Mexican Revolution in North America.
It had dragged on for well over 2 years now, and the rebel cause is not only not diminishing, it has greatly increased. Spanish troops are outmanned, outgunned, and most of the local support goes to the Mexican Rebels under the leadership of José María Morelos. The Mexican Revolutionary Army has already captured most of Mexico proper, and parts of Texas and Alto California.
With a new Republic in place, it is believed that thier will be a peace agreement soon, granting a new nation that will include much of North American Spain...

The Polish nobility was never very cooperative and in 1815 the Russian power in Poland was anything but solidified, so he is tecnically your puppet, but will he follow your orders? I dont know, we'll see. You might have to play it the way Russia did and crush the stupid Polish nobles to assure Russian rule.

But can you PLEASE make it a world map? I'm not sure I will really want to play it otherwise - I don't like playing "Europe-only" NESes.
Alexander I was the King of Poland, and I won't have anyone grab that title from me. If I choose to give it to Constantine, I'll say so (but I'd preffer to give it to Adam Czartoryskiy).

OOC: Konstantin Pavlovich isn't King of Poland... his brother, your Tsar Alexander I, is, and Konstantin recognizes that. However, Konstantin is Grand Duke and Imperial Governor of Poland (as appointed by Alexander in OTL), and will be handling the actual business of the Polish state.

The Evolution of Steampower Begins!
While on Study In great Britain Prince Willem II had often heard of Richard Trevithicks London Steam Carriage, for a long while he planned to make a trip to London an ride this marvelous machine, however state business and later military campaigns prevented this dream from becoming true.
the 1803 "London Steam Carriage"
However, during his brief courtship of Princess Charlotte Augusta of Wales, Prince Willem II practically stumbled upon George Stephensons Blutcher Locomotive, this technological marvel deeply impressed Prince Willem II and after the Courtship ended he returned to Holland with many plans.
the 1814 "Blucher Locomotive"
Discussing with his father, King Willem I, he told him that he saw great potential for these machines, he said: The industrial revolution that the windmill brought to the Netherlands can be more than doubled with the power of steam.
King William was partially persuaded by his sons vision, watermills relied on rivers and canals and were thus impractical in mining operation, windmills relied on the winds to function and mining operations needed to stop by depending on the weather, mining operations needed a steady and independent power source for pumping water out of the shafts and Steam Power could provide that, though he failed to see how steam power could revolutionize transportation, but he deeply loved his son and his son and trusted his intuition and so he told him he would get his blessing and national funds to help develop this revolutionary machines.
French Marshal Confirmed as King of Sweden
STOCKHOLM: With the recent death of King Charles XIII, former Marshal Jean-Baptiste Jules Bernadotte, Crown Prince Charles John of Sweden, has been confirmed as Crown Prince and will be coronated next Friday. The Crown Prince served in Napoleon's army and fought at Wagram, Napoleon's great artillery victory. He was summoned to the north to be adopted by the old and infirm King, who then joined the final Coalition against l'Empereur. Charles John defended Berlin immediately before the Battle of the Nations at Leipzig, and later helped the country conquer Norway in a great expansion program.
Former Marshal Bernadotte has been a strong advocate of formal alliance with Russia, and was the key force behind the recent note to the Tsar, proposing negotiations for entry into the Holy Alliance. The Crown Prince will assume the mantle of the great Northern Power, which controls most of Scandinavia, and will maintain the favorable stance toward Russia that Sweden has tried to have since the end of the Great Northern War of the early 18th century.
