Why do people nitpick everything I do. I know what Napoleon's innovations were, and also know that most of the great social change happened in the 1860s onward. I'm just starting at WW1 time period because WW1 is a time period where tensions were incredibly high. And the point is that you could choose to upgrade, or stay as you are. I don't expect war to happen for a few turns. Of course, I could give you more actions at the price of more years passing each turn. Like 5 years per turn --> 5 actions per turn. So yeah, if you want anything changed mechanics wise/have a good idea, then go ahead. Like the above.

Scandinavia.
After the decline of the Swedish empire, an surprising and unexpected treaty brought Sweden, Denmark and Norway under a single banner, effectively making it one of the great powers of Europe. However, her industries are behind the rest of Europe, and Scandinavia will have to use its military traditions and rich resources to make up for it.

The Lower Countries
Although long divided by war and internal tensions (Such as the War to restore Order in the Southern Provinces of 1830, the Luxemburg stand-off of 1856 , and the Belgian Annexation of Limburg in the 1876) the lower countries of Europe were forced to unite in 1887 due to the growing danger of war on the continent. With it's industry and cities booming thanks to it's large colonial empire and strong Industry, it looked like the 1900 were going to be a prosperous time.

United Emirates of Italy (UEI):
Description: The successful invasion of Otranto in 1480 by the Ottoman Empire led to the conquest of Italy despite the actions of Europe's rulers. All though unable to cross into the lands of the French or Germans, due to several humiliating defeats throughout the Italian Alps, the conquest of Italy was sealed. Every city, from Palermo to the south to Venice in the north, had been captured and humbled by the Turkish war machine. By 1790 however, the Ottoman Empire had become the laughing stock of Europe, barely able to keep its own subjects in line. Thus, with little difficulty, Napoleon successfully took back the peninsula in 1799, forming client states from the ancient states of Italy. When France was ultimately defeated and the lines of Europe redrawn, the states as they were were kept. In time, a sense of nationalism pervaded throughout the nation and soon, through the efforts of diplomats and revolutionaries, all of southern Italy were united under the one country. Though semi-independent, with each emirate left to their own domestic affairs, each state contributes to the well-being of the country as a whole. With a history of warfare, both on land and sea, and thousands of minds influenced by the Wars of Napoleon and the nation's unique status, The UEI are prepared to see the end of the millennium as the start of a new Italian hegemony.

The Free Councillary Republic of Nevgard and Allied States (just Nev will do):
30 years ago the enlightened artisans of the Grand City of Nevgard have risen up against the backwater corruption of the Mockberg princes and replaced it's outdated feudal practices with a modern federal system where each state has a representative in the High Council and moved the capital to a much more western (enlightened and, you know, Grand) city of Nevgard. The current (and second) Elder of the High Council is Maria Stahlmann (a Lett and a woman- which unequivocally proves Nev is the freest, most liberal country in the world) under whose glorious leadership the country is rapidly industrializing and de-agrarianizing (though so far really more of the second, than first).
(need I mention Nev is a harsh dictatorship?)

Interesting. So far, a lot of undeveloped nations. Seems as though there was no age of imperialism here. Well, there was, but it was not a colonial age.
Well, first turn I'll give you to set up your first move. Also, do you want the game to move faster with more actions at the cost of more years going by?
*Plot*
The world cheers in celebration of a new century. Nothing very eventful happened this turn. Tensions are at their usual high, people are their usual bigoted selves. Time for government to step in and exploit the peace.
