Well this is certainly new. For the first time ever, rebels has appeared outside British Isles or France.
Emperor Edward has called for creation of a colonial force along with transport fleet which will maintain order in our overseas territories.
As the Royal Navy is fetching soldiers to Gascogne to deal with Protestant rebels, Emperor Edward decides that it is time to stop being so pompous.
He is now a King, of the progressive administrative monarchy. More magistrates and faster policy changes are the main reasons, here.
Everyone shall remember Sir Talbot as the great explorer of West and the East, no doubt about that.
As people mourn his passing, King Edward decreed that the capital of Puerto Rico will therefore be renamed 'Talbot' in memory of the brave explorer.
Castille has managed to inherit the throne of Naples with ascension of King Juan; they now own half of Italy. Very troubling.
Shortly afterwards, a revolt occurs in Talbot, capital of Puerto Rico! We need to get the colonial force going, and soon.
Finally, after many, many years of debate, King Edward VI has found the third, golden option - Church of Great Britain!
With him as the Supreme Governor of this new state Church, we can offer the people of Britain a happy compromise between both Catholic orthodoxy as well as reforms of Protestant and Reformed faiths!
Although this will bring us instability for a while longer, we now have a goal, a unity in mind, which we can pursue without hesitation!
Unfortunately this causes our allies to renounce the treaties, and we can be sure that the Pope will find his way to intervene in an attempt to bring us back into the fold. But we will stand strong and united!
As Protestant zealotry in Scotland is dying off, our missionary efforts will begin there.
Please do not ask about revolt risk in the country at the moment, the double-digit values are scary enough for myself.
With British Ruler as Supreme Governor, we can use their influence to raise stability, push sliders toward Mercantilism, and even marry local noblewomen at will to get us a heir in quite reliable way.
The stability cost increase is more of a 'cooldown' than anything.
And the faith itself has some fairly powerful bonuses, outweighed by the high Stability costs per province and the fact that having a Church of our own will get us no friends and many enemies in Europe.
Strap yourselves bois, the hard part of the game has just begun.
ISN'T IT FUN!?
Royal Navy should be able to deal with them, and our Armies shouldn't be that bad either. Hopefully?
The attempted naval invasion of Britain by the Dutch has been repelled.
After Dutch Army landed in Norfolk and their Navy split into two, Royal British Navy ambushed both parts and defeated them, causing the panicked Dutch government to sue for peace.
King Edward VI is not suicidal enough to push any demands and hastily accepted.
And finally, someone outside England has embraced true faith. First step on the long, long road to religious unity.
We also decide to pass Test Act, and while it will make heretics hate us more, it will get has 0.5 missionary yearly. Considering the amount of provinces we have, we need those holy men.
Edward VI has to personally lead armies on rebel-whacking tour across British Isles.
By the God, there's SO MANY REBELS EVERY MONTH YOU WOULDN'T BELIEVE. British Isles, Normandy, then Gascogne - SUDDENLY! Rebels in Scotland! Rebels in Puerto Rico! Even
more rebels in Scotland!
Gah! We ran out of money when I wasn't looking!
Oh well, one loan shouldn't kill us, and might only help us in the long run.
Just as the rebellions were getting tidied up and new ones became infrequent, Edward VI, the reformer and first Supreme Governor, has died.
Hopefully the reign of his successor Octavius will see the end of the abhorrent religious instability plaguing Britain for the past decade or so.
I've forgot about the events. I totally forgot I've made events for Anglican faith and instability it brings.
The other option was -1 to Stability and spawning of MORE REBELS, so we will have to swallow the loss of prestige this time.
Maybe this was a mistake. Maybe we should've smooched the Papal posterior and live in relative peace and prosperity, but no, we've chosen the path of 'Having front seats during a Live Disaster Feed', that is our life now, guys!
