Actually, Etheopia was never a part of the Roman empire. Two greek brothers converted the leader of the Aksumite empire (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aksumite_Empire) and from there the belief spread. The Aksumite Empire is probably the first country that adopted Christianity as it's state religion, outpacing Rome by roughly half a century. If I recall correctly, Ethiopia is the only part of Africa that was never incorporated into the country of an European power, though they were briefly occupied by Itally during WW2.

Ethiopia and Liberia, yes. Ethiopia was annexed by Italy in 1936 after the Second Italian-Abyssinian War, creating Italian East Africa.

Do you not mean Libya? I don't think Liberia and Italy had much contact in this time frame, I could be wrong though!


Playing the fantasy Byzantium scenario in the AGCEEP, currently trying to out-colonise The Netherlands in Indonesia and maybe get some nicer borders in the Ukraine.

No, Liberia was an American colony that declared independence some 20 years after it's founding. It never had extensive dealings with Italy.

[Biag]

It was colonized by Americans, but not the United States Government. The American Colonization Society, a private organization, started collecting ex-slave volunteers in the 1820s and sending them to Liberia. A while later, the Americo-Liberian colonists said "Hey we're a country now! Indigenous people you are now Liberians!" and then set about controlling everything.

Related: if you like history go check out Liberia's Wikipedia article, because it's a surprisingly interesting country.

Yes I actually overthrew the French government and got them to join the Axis. This seemed to immediatly get Britian to declare war on me. Not sure why.

Are most of your colonies already cores?

[Simmura McCrea]

Moving your capital to America will give crazy income.

[MetalSlimeHunt]

I think you should move your capitol to the smoking ashes of London.

[Digital Hellhound]

What's that giant blob in China, under Ming? And why does your map make so much sense? My DW-adjusted brain is confused.

[Heron TSG]

Looks like Wu to me.

I think you should move your capitol to the smoking ashes of London.

How I hate very hard difficulty, the computer cheats so bad. In any case Great Britian is allied with Castille so I don't want to take them on yet, I'm considering attacking Aragon soon though.

Explain how it cheats?
