Since when is Hessonia purple? I call that black/blue/grey. Either my eyes are or my screen is going funny.
Id say the country east of them is more purple. If 13thRonin was playing them id be a lot less worried for my nation this turn.
Thrace announces its support for the liberation of the Sardinian people, and oppressed peoples worldwide. In fact we are organising a concert to highlight the plight of the oppressed. You may all send your most talented bards and dancing girls to attend this concert. All proceeds go to the thracian fund for world liberation

The purple caucasus nation is Saganu, and it's definitely NPC.

My people disapprove.
No, it's Luckymoose's.

I just haven't sent proper orders for it...ever.
Then it is NPC.

I'm sensing huge and imminent update.

Maybe not all that imminent, though I'm doing my best; but huge it will be. I'm still only finishing Europe, where lots of assorted craziness occured. Before anything else, I would like to make this one thing clear: apparently I wasn't kidding when I said it would be a dark age. Not at all. So you have been warned.

{Hessonian Nuclear Devices are armed and pointed at Thrace. If you so much as cough in the direction of Hessonia I will blow your country into the next dimension *grin*.}
I'm glad they are pointed at Thrace, since your greatest threat comes from another direction.

Nah, I count 12+ possibilities of attack on Hessonia

I'm kind of looking forward to a change of pace. This should be exciting.

As long as the plans were mostly successful, I won't mind if I have no nation left over.

On a total side note, there's been a lack of any Romanesque centralizing influence across Europe and the Mediterranean, since Tartessos at its greatest extent only included Iberia, southern Gaul, Italy and North Africa up to Carthage. As Late Antiquity draws to a close, no 'Classical' power has really penetrated that far into the Continent.
It'll be interesting to see the results of this as time goes on, but culturally, we probably won't see a formation of a united European consciousness, and the pace of technology (along with infrastructure and accordingly centralization) could conceivably go much slower in Northern Europe. The lack of Latin, Roman roads, and the Catholic Church will also be important.
It seems like there's going to be a little religious stagnation soon, too.

...or so you think. You are almost definitely wrong on at least one count here, though I suppose what you said about northern Europe still does work.
Anyway, the update is going to be... very late; hopefully it will be worth it, though.

Not to mention that Panda made the culture of Tartessos non-Roman anyway; it's (ahistorically) "Celtic". Only the institutions match Rome.

And the names (kind of), and the modus operandi. A northern european riverine and littoral trade net would probably be more important than OTL for european empires and spread of ideas, they'll still come to beat those silly southern european states eventually though

Decloak: Considering "Northern Europe" immediately fell into the Dark Ages after the collapse of Rome or was never built up to begin with I don't see why there would be any lag, nor any lack of a European consciousness, which only came about around the Renaissance anyway--Latinization only explains so much of that process when it only accounts for about half the continent, never getting a foothold in Scandinavia, Germany, so on, and mutated into all the Romance languages after Rome's fall anyway.
The roads are a fairly small thing given most freight and trade is by water for a long time to come anyway. And if anything, the lack of a "glorious past" to look back to will probably inspire people to make a new one instead of just idealizing some bygone era.
