NEW TURN: Jan - Apr 1935

- Anarchy in Elbardy! (Czechia). Years of poverty and harsh treatment drive the Elbardian people to the brink, who storm the compound of the HRE Elbardian governor, Hermann Goering. Whilst accounts differ as to what exactly took place, by the end of the confrontation Goering lay dead, two stories below a smashed window. The Fourth Defenestration of Prague sparks rioting and uprising in the city of Prague, which provokes further rebellion across Elbardy. By April, much of the region of Elbardy has been overrun by Elbardian rebels.

- The Days of Dust sweep into Europe, downing stock markets and flooring economies. The Angevin Bourse goes down by 25%, whilst the Greek Exchange in Constantinople drops by 20% (Idk know this economy stuff really, basically the world's economies get hit hard). However, the Yue Empire and to a lesser extent Khmer are affected much less than others, having stuck to using  the silver standard for monetary value.

- Famine and hardship begin to set in in areas above the 40th parallel north (which for reference is the Nebraska-Kansas border apparently). The Baltic Sea freezes over. Glaciers in the Alps expand and destroy farmland. Large areas of northern Russia, Canada and Scandinavia become unliveable. With the advent of summer this all lessens, but grain shortages and generally worse weather will stick around.

- An UltraNat coup in Sweden ousts the former king, as the Swedish Soldiers Party takes control. The new group feeds off of anger over Sweden's division at the end of the Great War, and pledges to reunify the Scandinavian peninsula. This also means Sweden's colony is up for grabs (Fristat Kikuyuland (Kenya)).
