Kingdom of England
The Start of English Hegemony in America
English colonization in North America began with more pace during this period of History. The exsisting colonies on the coastline were all fulled colonised to colonial cities, including Boston, the new flegding centre of trade in the area. To show Boston's new found wealth a fort was built for protection and independent investors started their own naval manufactory with permission from the Colonial Governor-General. Colonies were also founded in the sugar islands, on the Caymen Islands, Cigatoo and Catio.
Danish explorers and conquisterdors aproached the English Court also asking for military cooperation in the new world. This was accepted and with English blessing, Danish colonies sprung up in Quebec. The only problem in the new colonies was the threat of Spanish invasion. This threat though, would be worked on throughout the period.
Anglo-Iberian Relations Improve
During the 1520's and 1530's two major powerblocks were forming on the continent. On the one side were the French and Turks, on the otherside the Iberians. Venice and Austria leant towards the Iberians, whereas England, though not publicly allied to anyone, leant towards the French. This though was to change.
The Austrian state was in trouble after her defeat at the hands of the French, and in a moment of stupidness, thought selling her remaining French lands to France would save her for a while longer. This sale was without blessing of the Spanish monarch and Spain publicly withdrew her support of Austria. This meaning England could proberly now take her place alongside the Iberians without upsetting the balance of power.
Calais, the finial bastion of English power on the continent was offered to be bought by the French crown for $300. England then approached the Spanish court asking for a better offer. Spain jumped at the proposal, doubling France's offer, taking Calais in a fake war a year or so later. To finialize good Anglo-Iberian relations, England promised to stay Catholic (albeit with Spanish support) and fully convert England back into the Catholic fold.
The Irish Question
By 1530, Ierland was still completely indepent of her English neighbour, this was about to change when the English foreign policy in Ierland took a turn around. Now England's future state religon was securely known, good Catholics in Ierland were thought to be better Catholics under English protection. All Irish warlords were invited to a new Anglo-Scottish alliance except Leinster. Ulster went one step further becoming Englands latest vassal.

So England has become a mere extension of Iberia, saddening in the most. Especially the meekness and acceptance of Spanish possesions in North America.

I beat fal quite handily though, therefore you are just useless. Did his constant threats to annex you finally cause what remained of your manliness to run away and die?

Peace and colonization
for many years our beloved denmark was at peace. A new power arose in Austria and this new power were more agressive then the last one so we had to come to a aggrement with them before we would clash over our claims in Germany. A agrement was signed and new claims of land was about to be taken into our precious Kingdom. we started to work on our colony to make it grown and we started to work on our trading posts to claim more land. A deal was made with England gratning us MA so that our great conquistadors could explore more of the unknown land only to find a lot of un settled land. This came as a suprise as we thought that england was alrdy all over the place but the current situation showed us that they were not.
But we will neclected by our ally and the world in our part of the defence of Sweden. as we haven't got any rewards for the Danish men that died on the field of Finland by our Allies.
Helping our ally
A war with poland and russia raged on only to be settled with a few gold coins in polands favor. and supringly the next year they were allies and were about to team up against our friends in sweden. but because we had a NaP with poland we couldn't make any offencive campaigns in germany so we sent our best leader wit our best army to finland to help them to defend against poland and Russia. and this was a big success. our armies stood along and together with our friends in the swedish armies and won many battles. our WS was at +50 just because we had won alot of battles against them. but anyway just to be sure that poland honored our aggrements we had a army of 50k standing ready in bremen to counter any offensive moves by them. polands ally Lithuania tried to invade our lands but were pushed back many times by our great generals and soldiers. this war was were passive on the danish front as we had a NaP with poland only sweden could do any offensive campaigns against poland in witch they conquerd the polish CoT Danzig. and after 3 years of war it started to look grim for the polish-russian alliance and peace was agreed on sweden taking Danzig in return. and good peace offer in Danish eyes as sweden was hungry for much more. but later on when the polish king was on vacation, the Swedes made a swift offensive campaign against the russians and snatched to provinces.
The end line
The Danish court wish to still be friends with Poland and Sweden but that can't happen in the long run and soon we have to pick a side. We hope that we will pick the best side for our survival as a nation. Either we could pick polands side and invade sweden or we could pick swedens side and take german provinces. as we have a feeling that Germans will be gladly accepted in the Danish court as a new rising noble power will soon take the seet on the throne.

Sweden: The sick man of Europe Part II
Gustav Vasa, the new King
After having peacefully broken away from the Dannish, the Swedish Parliament was searching for a new noble to take the throne. Every noble seemed unfit, until, they found Gustav. Not only was he an able general, but he was also one of the best administrative genious of his time. His diplomatic skills were amongst the best as well, and so, after much consideration, the Parliament decided to elect Gustav Vasa as the new king. Everyone rejoiced in the realm. Never did Sweden seen such an able King. Not even the old king Knut matched Gustav's skills.
Luther, the reformation of the church and The Parliament of Västerås
Having pinned his 95 articles on the churchdoor of wittenberg, condemning the trafic of reedems by the pope, who had become absolutely corrupt, a new branch of christianity apeared: Protestantism. Having taken over the Swedish government, Gustav had many debts to pay. So much so, that he forced the church to "lend" their property to the state. This made Sweden to convert to the protestant faith, raising the income greatly. Nothing less then 30%. However, incited by Swedish Enemies, many people rose to rebelion in every part of the realm. These were quickly put down but many lives perished in such a short period of time. May God have mercy on the poor Swedes that died during it.
The First Great Northern War
Being able to reform his country, everything was going smoothly in Sweden. All thanks to the great King Gustav was. However, we started noticing that both Russia and Poland were acting agressively toward us, and even saw far many troops on our borders. We sent diplomats to most crowned heads of Europe, even to the heathen turks. The support they gave us will not be told of, as it is part of a secret evil agreement between the high contracting parties. We started mustering extra troops, notably only cavalry. We did not use arquebuses or whatever Europeans call these weapons, as they were made by the demon itself. When war started, only Denmark came to Swedish aid. The Poles struck the baltic hard, but failed to capture Estonia. The Russian hordes tossed everything in Ingria, children, dogs, women, and finally men. But to no avail. They were always beaten back no matter what they did. War draged on, and with both parties not wanting to sign peace, we were forced to take the offensive. Under the leadership of one of our best generals, we took pomerelia fast. After many failures, the poles were forced to peace, giving us Danzig. Never did Gustav Vasa, or even the Poles, think that the war would end like this.
The Russian Campaign
Peace lasted for a decade. The Polish monarch suffered from a sickness that didnt allow him to deal with foreign matters properly, and so we used this to our advantage. Having reformed the military, thanks for French and Turkish advisors, and making full use of this new, demonic invention arquebuses were, the Russian hordes were no match for Sweden. While Russia was involved in their petty squabbles with minor nations, we sent a formal declaration of war to them, and made a sneaky attack before winter came. We took many provinces, but when the harsh winter was about to take place, we retreated. We waited until the ice melt, and then launched another offensive. Despite Russian efforts, they were forced to give us Ingria and Kexholm, forever forbiding Russian merchants to trade in the baltic. Sweden was now on the ascendent, almost shining so bright as her Nordic compatriot: Denmark. All that Swedish people can do now, is thanks God for such magnificient days.

A Message From the Sultan
The Ottoman Sultan and Archduke of Austria have come to an agreement:
1) The Ottoman Empire will give back Kurenten, Tirol and Karpotak to their rightful rulers, the Austrians
2) Austria will remove its claims to all other ottoman provinces and its claim to the crown of Hungary (loses its cores on all other ottoman provinces and Magyar culture)
3) Austria will become a ottoman vassal till 1730 and an ally to the Sublime Porte for as long as Allah wills.
Allah Akbar you infidel pig-dogs
Editing cores is against rules.
If such things happen by one-side desire of GM, better withdraw from the game to avoid future insane edits.
