History of the World 4.0

[deity]

LOL

The good thing about this diplo is that the world hasn't simply split into two power blocs. It is an intricately woven international state of affairs....

[Ljube]

During the reign of Stefan Dusan Serbia expanded to the new world. Since the discovery of the new world, both England and Serbia attempted to grab as much of the land as possible. Especially during the Dark times in England, while the so called “republic” with infidel Oliver Cromwell was in power, the skirmishes between the English and the Serb colonists became frequent and nearly caused a war between the two nations.
Dusan knew that the key of Serb might lies in a close alliance with England and the division of spheres of influence in the new world. But Cromwell was not the man with whom one could negotiate. As soon as William I came in power, Dusan suggested a meeting to resolve the issues about the new world. William was unsure about it, but knew that he needed Dusan as his friend if he hoped to stabilise his rule over England. So he came to Budva, where the famous agreement was signed. But William brought the Pope with to make sure this deal stays forever, for he too feared the battle spirit of the Serb soldiers and wanted to avoid any confrontation. And so Pope Alexander VI blessed this holy agreement and proclaimed it was God’s Will that the agreement should stand until the Judgment Day.

This expansion of Serbia gave Dusan the name by which he was known later, Stefan Dusan the Mighty.

Near the end of his rule, Dusan started to feel intense guilt over what he had done to his father and his supporters. He sought absolution for his sins, but he dared not ask the Patriarch for it. His idea was to abdicate and retreat to a monastery where he could devote his last years to prayers and repentance. He started to build a new monastery near Novi Sad and thought to go there after it was built, but he never got there. He suffered a stroke which left him lying and paralysed for several weeks before he actually died. During this period, he was unable to speak or to move his hands. In the end he never got his absolution.

His young son, Stefan Uros V, ascended to the throne, but his unremarkable reign was remembered in the history only by two events: The unfortunate battle of a Serb light transport ship with an English fast galleon and by the end of the dynasty of Nemanic. With the death of Stefan Uros V ended a thousand years old blood line and Serbia fell in a civil war.

Twenty years later, after many deaths and much suffering, a new form of government emerged, a government with elected ruler whose title was not King, a new Serb Republic.

Rasputins march

Upon leaving Serbia Rasputin travlled south , nearing his final destination, The Forum ..... Razlamic Fundamental Activity was at an all time high, Consul Trev IV feared for his life and whilst doing all he could to run hte country , he took many safe guards to prevetn history repeating itself.

[Rasputin]

The great consul Trev IV was more and more concerend with his own safety, so much so thast he no longer attended the forum. Rumours were spreadign fast that The Mad Monk was approaching town with his followers. Consul Trev called on Senator Zylka chief of the Egyptian Military to march to the Sinai to prevent Rasputin and his followers entering Africa.

[Rasputin]

Senator Zylka led the military out to the desert and there di meet with Rasputin and his followers, after a great celebration and feasting were concluded Senator Zylka led the whole prcession back to The Forum and did their oust Consul Trev IV and had him crucified in the public square. The final deal of Rasputin had been made and Consul Zylka I was appointed new supreme commander of Greater Egypt.

The treacherous Tartars once again have expelled the aging Marco Polo. His peaceful mission to establish an embassy with China has met with failure for the last time. After ample warning of Polo's visit to Tartarland while passing through to China the Tartars still expelled him first chance they got with no notice or communication.

His one goal in life was to make the journey across the continent and see the glorious sight of Beijing. Twice betrayed by the Tartars, Polo is too advanced in age to make another attempt. His peaceful dreams died that day outside of Lunde.

This aggressive act will not go unpunished. King George is assembling a war cabinet.

[Rasputin]

The Final Double Cross

As Consul Zylka was leaving the temple with Rasputin a gang of twelve Razlamic youths gunned them down. Local medicos rushed to the scene and did what they could but Zylka was beyond help, and died in the arms of the medicos. Rasputin was rushed to the Temple where priests soon had him setup in bed and a national all night prayer vigil was started.

7 days later Rasputin emerged from the temple and entered The Forum where he was immedialty sworn in as Emporer of all Greater Egypt, Chief Mufti of Razlam and the New Prophet of The Great Raz......


All things that have an end, have a beginning ...... !!!!!!!!

English reporters pick up the morning paper out of Egypt and are shocked to read the news about the assassination of the Egyptian Consul and the coup by Rasputin.

The reporters are further shocked to see how badly the Egyptian newspapers are. Somehow they failed to get the name of their leader correct. It was Consul Zylka who was shot down, not Dank. The reporters shake their head in disbelief that the Egyptian reporters, editors, and fact checkers can be so daft.

That was the early city edition , the final full version was corrected by the editor after whipping his journos

Wise Raz; eternal leader of the Egyptians,

Surprise even to you that I might be speaking from a supposed done deathbed; such that you yourself clearly saw my "blood" upon assasination and took it as sure as the demise later reported. I am writing from home back in the sparse North American mainland - having quickly and silently withdrawn belongings and personal wealth from my Caribbean house in your empire once frequented. Obviously if you believe in the authenticity of this letter, you will be needing of prompt explanation for this rather bizarre turn of events and seeming rise from the dead.

Simply put... that assasination was faked - not for some desire of personal escape; rather reasoning of what's best for the state. The people are fickle, Senator. I have promoted a luxury based state of growth in only a few of our larger cities with the same level of overall national production diverted to such - yet word spread quickly and assumptiously. The people for the most part thought and spread it my "love" for them in this matter of state; rather than a quick and limited promotion and nurturing of population growth that the empire so needed. Just as they did not understand such they will not either understand your eventual ceasing of such luxury based "spoiling" in these areas - which will have to come as our irrigation network in this arid land is too little to support too wreckless a spurt.

Aside from which... A social revolution which I (could) or care not to stop - the people thirst for the truth; that of which I had once introduced to you in personally in Christianity. Yet my popularity in allowing for this widespread spiritual reformation was skyrocketing beyond my own liking - under duty of temporary leadership assistance for the empire at most. I can only give you my advice that the successful and living empires of the future; both secularly and spiritually - will follow this truth, rather that the stunting and false Islam.

Now, on with standard report. So that the advisors not confuse what has happened during your absence - I have done the following in my term:

-I have followed a strengthening of system for settlement in the new world, of which I suggest direct builds on the new and dotted fruit resources seen there. For the southern most expansion - place on the river hill for border defensive reasons and ability to eventually make use of the ancient harvest structures, pathways and canals seen around the neareby (and useful) herds of beasts.

-Market growth through the construction of several new (top secret) national trade institutions. The few that are in initial phase of development may seem as outlandishly expenisve as first, but I guarantee you their eventual success and lucrative promotion of new "interest investment" for citizens and therefore empire alike.

-Letting grow the hearts and the minds of the Egyptian people socially; specifically for their vast support and want of the Christian faith I only decades ago brought from home and introduced with my entourage. I hope this above all; your common sense and decency to accept...

So as I reitorate what an honor it was to serve - I so must give this sincere apology in the "violence" of resignation that I set upon your own worry. As you know, I am simply Christian General of a loose connection of mercenary tribes in this empty and frigid Northern America. As such, I have no need or right to become the icon which would so permanently overthrow your just lead of the beautiful Egyptian empire.

For now I am off to a new commitioning, General in charge of the relative sized TarTar empire. They even know not of my own true identity; you may hear of my rise there as "General Akleyzze". With my new position I hope to covertly strengthen bonds with the old home I have come to love - with your people. This TarTartian empire as well is on the verge of Christian flourish, a promotion of which is much my only personal delight other than the job itself. The job I have done in your contract hopefully has provided, and hopefully the advice is of use - as well. I hail your decisions of the future as such, and ask for your personal care of my many children to the women of the south caribbean island I once called home.

General Zylka, Akleyzze cohort

China was overcome in rescent years by a popular movement for more direct election of government officals, and stricter controls on how many of the former empire nobles were acting on various interests in the Chinese colonies. Some of these accusations were indeed true, but these failings had been endured for along while to help in sure Chinese defense, however the movement could not be over come and the government was more and more liberialized. This new government could have to face a growing military threat.

Serbian invaders had already been running amuck in the Ural region for some time. Because of our defensive alliance, China was at a de facto state of war with the Serbians. They threatened San Francisco with a large army, renigging on their previous agreement to allow the settlement there. Unwilling to bend to such outright agression, the Chinese army and navy underwent radical changes. Naval vessals crafted of heavy metal firing artillery changed fire with similar Serbian vessals off the coast of california with devestating effects. One squadron of Chinese ships were reported destroyed, with one Serbian fleet also beening completely wiped out by successive fleets from the Chinese mainland and Japan. Meanwhile on land the invaders were unable to threaten the growing defenses of San Francisco, which now has transformed into a military town, full of men at arms and saliors, there is nary a house that does not also quarter some men as a barracks, and the bravest men throughout the whole of China have come to the defense of out rightful settlement.

Peace was finally restablished with the Serbians, but it is an uneasy one, and their army remains within sight of the city on clear nights. The citizens toil endlessly on weaponry they hope will protect their homes from this irrational aggression.

Meanwhile, with the stripping of the independance of the coalition of the Great White Ninjas by the new form of national government, a succession movement erupted amongst the smaller towns in the artic circle. 2 cities had majorities that prefered the highly militaristic form of government supported by the Tartars and joined them in their effort to defend their nation. The capital of the region was too highly populated and defended by nationalist troops, who saw that their interests remained with mainland China.

The Chinese government hopes for an era where knowledge and learning can be placed at the forefront of the issues at hand, but on many fronts is preparing for an era of bloodshed like that never seen within the world.
