Turn 3 --> Ashman

3850 BC DIPLOMATS LEAVE MINSK

They are expected to arrive on the korean coastline in 3750 BC. Naval technolgy has meant the journey is both long and somewhat dangerous in the antiquated russian longships.

Plans are being laid presently for a modern efficient russian navy to support her empire and that of her future allies.

The Grand Prince is personally overseeing this development in the most industrious cities to the north.

3800 BC STEADY EXPANSION IN THE EAST

Russian settlers are heading to the "Neck of Ivan" in the west to ensure a large part of the continent that Russia seems to be on will remain as much of our territory as possible.

Weary of an ancient mexican settlement that could be on this continent, the ruler of the duchy of Kiev advised the Grand Prince that this was settled many years ago. The Grand Prince still remains curious of Mexican intentions in this continent.

Russia will be looking to expanding north from the neck and not west to the lands of New Mexico.

In other news progress of the diplomat to the eastern lands of japan and korea is looking good. He is expected to land in the next few decades (turn 5) to formerly establish relations with the two known asian powers.

A delegation will be sent to Mexico after this has been achieved.

Other nations around the globe have also been invited to establish embassies in Moscow, and permission to land solely for this purpose was granted by the Grand Prince this year.

The progress of the Russian navy is also increasing in order to secure the protection of russia. The latest ships available have been ordered by the Grand Prince.

Turn 5 --> TheThirdJesus

The Mexican people gladly accept the offer to exchange maps with the Russians.

Due to the small size of the Mexican main island, Chihuahua has sent out a scout to invesigate territory for future expansion to the North.

turn 6 --> baston

All of the city states sport new and improved forms of grain storage providing all with food. And it was good.

RUSSIAN DUMA MEETS IN MOSCOW

The grand prince summoned the first state assembly in the kremlin to discuss future closer ties between the free city states and duchy's occupied by the Russian people. Points covered were:

Chihuhua -- The Russian Empire is curious as to whether this city will pose a problem for future russian expansion in the north. Scouts and settlers are heading north to secure the "Neck of Ivan" as we speak but little south of that (North of Rostov) is hardly arable (being a wasted desert), and northern expansion must occur at some stage in the future.

The prince of Astrakhan was quick to mention that a strong peace exists between the two nations of Mexico and Russia, but it was hotly debated in the Duma. Scouts are being sent north of the neck to ascertain the remaining size of the continent and whether the mexican city will become a problem.

The duke of rostov also added that the mexicans have an unfortunately small homeland and that when they landed they had no idea they were originally on the same continent.

Many of the statesmen agreed with him, and a vote was passed supporting the mexican's remaining where they are.

However if they expand eastwards towards the neck the issue is likely to flare up again.

Diplomatic Relations -- As soon as the minsk diplomats establish ties with Korea and Japan, Mexico is planned to be the next venuue.

Naval Supremacy -- Moscow is vowing to build a large and powerful fleet over the coming centuries to at least equal any opposition.

Alliances -- Depending on future wars and problems the Russians would be seeking to ally with any friendly civilisations.

Colonisation -- Aside from the northern territory past the neck of ivan, Russian navigators are keen to explore the rest of the world with a view to taking any new and unclaimed lands for the Grand Prince.

Friendliness -- Although militant, the Grand Prince was keen to stress he is a peace loving man and wants to ensure Korean and Mexican leaders are aware of such a fact.

Turn 6 --> Ashman

RUSSIAN DIPLOMATS LAND IN KOREA

Will set up an embassy over the coming years.

[-Ashman-]

Turn 6 --> TheThirdJesus

[-Ashman-]

I suspect that the game will slow down during the work week and speed up again on the weekends. Five turns over the weekend was excellent. I hope to finish one turn/day at the very least Monday thru Friday. The only real obstacle is the 7 hour time difference between Baston and I and the 8 hour difference between TheThird and Baston. Just as I'm getting to work, Baston is on his way home.

3650 BC RUSSIAN EMBASSY OPENS IN KOREA

Rather than move onto Japan, The grand prince has ordered the diplomats now sail immediately for mexico.

It is hoped that the embassy will help the growth of a Russia-Korea Pact which will be proposed over the coming years.

The grand prince has made secret that he wishes to include mexico in this pact.
