Ottomans Converts Florida Into a Puppet State
Recently, a lot of help has been coming torwards the blue by the nations of the world (Especially Germany, the Ottomans, Abyssinia, etc)

But, recently really great things happened, one is that the  Ottomans beat the  confederates in the Battle Of Miami and not only that, but Florida collapsed and now the Caliphate of Florida is a thing! Not that great but... someone had to point that out.

The second one is well, The Battle of Charleston ending in a decisive victory for the  Ottomans, thus South Carolina fell. It was made into a wartime  Ottoman puppet state called the Sultanate of South Carolina. The only thing connecting the Caliphate of Florida and the  Sultanate of South Carolina is Georgia's Atlantic coast.

However, when we thought that they would just rest a bit then continue as usual, we were wrong... a lot.

The ottoman troops that captured Tallahassee started marching west towards the Mississippi River. Why the Mississippi River? Because domination of the river will divide the Confederates in two, meaning it would be over for  the federals, their troops in Charleston also started pushing up into North Carolina and now, an invasion of the state of Georgia by  the Ottomans has begun.

But it's not only the ottomans who are supporting us in the war, wasn't that obvious?

The  Germans won the Battle of New Orleans and are now pushing back  the federals (The Gray) to Dallas.

Now the US troops and the  Italian legion are fighting the Confederates in Southern Virginia, yes, we (and the  italians) have now conquered the Confederate capital, Richmond.

The  Italians are fighting in Danville at the moment.

And it is not only the europeans who are sending volunteers for us,  Japan has also joined the party by invading the state of Texas, as of now, the Germans and Japanese are surrounding the  federals on Dallas, the next week is gonna be a huge week for us...

Here at Harper's Weekly, we know that the union will win the war against the rebs and the gray, thank you  Ottomans,  Italians,  Germans and  Nihonjins!!!!!!!!!!!

Japan invades Korea
Today, the  United Imperial Shogunate of Japan has declared war on the  Joseon Empire and their troops have not only gone to Texas but have also gone to the Island of Pusan, there's actually not that much information on this so expect more next week.

Backstory
To understand a big chunk of this mapping game, here’s a bit of backstory.

* opens book *

Okay so basically, let’s say this happened early (totally not because I wanna be the North German Confederation) and this is currently happening as well.

The Colonization of Africa is also currently happening with a lot of European powers joining the party and taking slices of Africa.

However, on May 1861, Ethopia told the European powers to stay out of Africa, so they have to go for other continents. Does it matter? Not really.

The Europeans allied with the US during their civil war, starting a shit ton of battles and of course, the Battle of Miami which was a battle between the Ottomans and the Confederates.

What about now? Everyone is industrializing and banning slavery for obvious reasons.

* closes book *

Alright kids, the story's over! P l e a s e   c l a p .

How To Play
If you haven’t played a map game before, that’s pretty sad bro then you basically choose a country from the map (id you don‘t know their names then go to that one YouTube video called “History of the World (Every Year)” and go to the 1861 part.

But anyways, here’s the game format:

Republica de Perú


 * Improve military.


 * Industrialize the country.


 * Buy some lands from Ecuador.


 * Start invading Colombia.


 * Invites Chile and Bolivia to make an alliance.

Wasn’t that demostration/example of the format epic? Anyways, now you probably know how to play, if not then I am bad at teaching stuff. (By the way, all the actions shown in the example are optional!)

Rules

 * No godmodding. (Example: “Brazil suddenly annexes Bolivia.”)
 * Don’t be unrealistic. (Example: “Qing instantly nukes Japan.”
 * After every round, time goes forward to one month.
 * If everyone does their turn, the game will go forward.
 * Everyone shall be given 1 day to do their turns, so no rush, gamers.
 * If you don’t post in 1 day, you’ll be labeled as “AFK” and if you don’t respond in a week (7 days) then I’ll have to kick you. (If you’re gonna be away for a while then notify me in my message wall.)
