We will NOT attempt to create hostilities at any other nations, aside fom the Danes.

Someone's mad about the Danes. Wowee.

Well I'm peaceful and neutral so...

Toadtopia

Toadtopia has withdrawn its proposal for an alliance with Sibristan due to unwarranted hostility to our neighbor country.

Salut. I am afraid that my alliance with Sibristan is breaking due their hostile actions. We have felt that our country might suffer from this alliance. Although I know that in the result of war, they might reach me before you do but please, hear Roendavar's plea. We want to establish diplomatic relations with your country. We fear that Sibristan's actions are worrying. I hope you accept as your country would be a great help to us.

Sincerely yours,

The Royal Council of The Monarchy

After much discussion over the proposed alliance by Toadtopia which was sent to Copenhagen several months ago and has been left undecided due to other priorities, the Council has decided to accept the alliance 8-2 in a vote by all 10 council members. The council recognised the loyal and heroic decision by the nation of Toadtopia to withdraw its alliance request with Sibristan due to its hostility towards Grandes Terres. The council also recognised how the acceptance of the alliance with Toadtopia by Roundrock was an extremely rapid and effective deterrent towards the barbarian attacks experienced by Roundrock.

The council has signed the alliance proposal and the signed document is on its way back to Toadtopia to officially confirm the alliance.

Toadtopia and Roendavar

In regard to the Grandes terres decision:

The good King Thormodsson and his Royal Court humbly confirm the alliance between the two nations. A true northern alliance may now be started. One that protects its own interests and one that accepts states friendly to it. This is the beginning of a Golden Age for our allies. May we all prosper.

Declaration signed by the King and his Jarls.

Fragile Alliances

Word of Roendavar's allegiance to Grandes terres was received in silence. The Grand Council of Roendavar chose to receive this matter in secrecy as it will further damage the relationship between Sibristan and Roendavar. Only a few people was told of the secret alliance and there will be no celebration in Roendavar until tensions cool down with Sibristan. Only time will tell how this secretive alliance will work out for the people of Roendavar.

Played as Granada.
The result:
Andalus Iberia, France, "Brazil", North Africa and "Eastern America" in that order.
Was going after the British Isles, but I didn't feel like dealing with them, so they ended up looking like someone took a sledgehammer to it and sprinkled in some Sunnism. With the fall of the British, Ireland grew in power and colonized South Africa and a little of America before I stepped in and forcefully vassalized them, then forced them to accept Muhammad. They never liked me enough to integrate them, so I let them go when most of them were Sunni.

Also played as the Aztec and the Incas, the results were the same. America for Native Americans only. The Incas are debatably easier, at least when it comes to westernizing.
Never converted to Christianity, how can you betray your ancestors like that?

Colonization Rules (WIP)

1. Your colonies will grow depending on how you treat the natives.
2. You may treat the natives as so:

Be friendly with them: Colony growth is slowed (1 province per 5 days), but native attacks drop to nearly zero.
Don't mess with them: Colony growth is medium (3 provinces per 5 days), and native attacks will occur from time to time.
Attack them: Your colonies will grow quickly (5 provinces per five days), but native attacks will be very common.

3. If a dispute starts over a province, you may declare a Colonial War. Keep in mind that it'll be expensive.

You should set limits on preliminary size and discovery.

How do u expand land in the rp

Velvo's colonization efforts:

While sailing to Velvo's Atlantic Islands, the Azores, a ship sailed at the crack of dawn, though have gone a off track and spotted a few islands the next day, the ship was heading to the islands when slowly the tide rose and the islands were no longer there (occ: Corner Islands)! The ship sailed faster from the winds and tides turning, faster the ship went, away from hope of returning to the Azores, fortunately the men carried a good amount of supplies, for they were planning trading goods for various items in the Azores. Days went by, the waters and winds still strong, the men have discussed the possibility of turning back, half of them remained willful that the only way to return was to land and attempt to sail back by avoid the current they are in, others have declared it hopeless and that they will continue forever in the ocean and a few of the others finally said that while it may take a long time, they may eventually make it to Asia or India, for the Earth is Round and they simply must cross the great ocean, for it was God's will.
2 weeks of sailing, the men finally spot land (ooc: Bermuda), once they saw the land, they were correct on their theory that it was God's will, the sands of the shores were a rosy pink and the beauty of the island was breathtaking. Not long after collecting supplies on the Island, of some strange fruits.
The leader of the ship had a grand idea, now that they were stocked on more supplies, he suggested to his men that they must discover India through this route and inform someone, though no one will believe them, so they must bring back proof. Off the men set sail once again, with knowledge that India must be somewhere a bit lower and west, they continued and after only 2 days, they landed on India (Upper Florida).
The men come into contact with some peculiar natives that they noticed are of tan skin and assume that these in fact must be the Indians that they have theorized about.
The Indians were friendly to the Velvoans, they spoke in a strange language and seemed to gesture at their facial hair and fanciful clothing. The leader of the ship, Aloic Bernat has attempted to speak with the natives, but it was extremely difficult on both sides. Fortunately, whatever Bernat did, it ended up working, Bernat has convinced a young child and his supposedly single mother to come on board the ship, Bernat wanted to sail back to Velvo and speak to perhaps a duke or duchess or possibly even the queen and speak of the discovery, not only with words but with the Indians to prove it.
On the way back, the Indians and the Velvoans very slowly started to understand each other, by pointing at things, a notable moment was when Bernat pointed at himself and said
"Aloic" then pointed at the man next to him "Julien", the woman seemed to understand and pointed at herself and said "Nayobe", she then pointed at the boy and said "Nalitori".
How peculiar.. The crew slowly makes it way back to Velvo. What will they make of all of this?

The woman and her child has been brought before the queen, after figuring out that she speaks none of the local languages, not even Arabic as they originally assumed she was simply just a peasant from North Africa. It was believed that she was indeed from India until a missionary that was well versed in Hindi attempted to speak to her and she still could not understand the men. Perhaps she was Chinese, but they doubted it since all descriptions of the Chinese did not look like her. And so with the queen's curiosity peaked, she demands that A port must be built immediately at the newly found Island, west of the Azores. She also commissioned map makers, sailors and translators to meet the people of "India" and trace the coast so everyone could have a better idea where exactly Bernat landed.

Colonization Claimants:
Queen Victoria issued to build a port immediately at Bernat Island (Bermuda)
-Historically there were never native Americans on that Island, so we're "Attacking the Natives" so we can get that done in a month (1 day).
I also suggest we should have claiment treaties, but that can get really ugly really fast.
So as my own Treaty of Tordesillas, I humbly claim all my newly discovered coasts and anything inside and west to them. In pink.
(I say humbly because the Spanish basically claimed all of America before it was really mapped out, but of course that was kinda ignored by everyone except the Portugese for a while).

The Grandes Terres Times

Nytfundetland(Newfoundland and Labrador) Founded
Today a month after Terresian colonists landed in the 'New World' the colony of 'Nytfundetland'(Newfoundland and Labrador) has been officially founded and it's initial exploration population of 4,000 is already expanding with families building villages across the colony in the hope of a new life away from Europe but still in connection with their homeland. As for the economy, the land which is believed to be connected to some some sort of new continent has a huge amount of potential for the fur trade while the island next to it has an abundance of fish, giving everyone the opportunity to make the money they have always dreamed of. A port is also being constructed on the island so that the colonists can sell their fur to Europe.

New Set of Colonists Prepare For More Discovery:
After witnessing the https://youtu.be/r13riaRKGo0 of the Nytfundetland colony, the Terresian monarchy has issued a Royal Permit to 5,000 explorers who will lead a second expedition from Nytfundetland and travel south to more suitable land for a second colony of Grandes Terres, however the explorers have been warned that native people of the New World have been discovered and while some were friendly towards the Terresian settlers a small minority attempted to attack a settlement with their primitive weapons, and the settlers had to slaughter the tribe in self defence.
