Spain 1559-1579
That was a time of difficult reforms and expansion. Spain’s worst enemy is inflation caused by economy based on american gold. To stop this process, the great effort of promoting dozens of governors was made. Spain was the first country that invented new system of governing the country. A lot of gold had to be spent until almost all spanish provinces could be proud of having governor.
Promoting governors in Spain
About 10 years later we noticed that Austrian Emperor and Ottoman Emperor had copied our invention.
Spanish King had dilemma what his kingdom should focus on:lowering inflation, expanding colonies, conquering new pagan lands or converting pagans already under his rule. He decided to do everything in one time and he could achieve succes only with help of his greatest servants. One of them was Lope de Aguirre. Very brave man who fought with Incas, than conquered Creek and baptised Cherokee and Shawnee tribes, not mentioning exploring new lands in North America and later South America as well.
Lope de Aguirre and his brave men.
King of Spain in his kindness, makes a lot of efforts to save as many pagan souls as possible. He ordered to baptise chiefs of Cherokee and Shawnee tribes instead of killing them and their people. Instead of annexing their lands Spain let indian chiefs to convert believers by themselves. He also promised to protect them from other european powers, but no offical pact was signed. Unfortunately our new brothers in faith had to face new enemy – Sweden. Spain always recignised N.America as a sphere of influence of his ally England. However we esteem our quite good relations with Kingom of Sweden (more than just-converted wild tribals) and we have nothing against their rapid expansion in America as long as they keep their hands away from our claimed lands.
For a long time Spain was the kingdom of a greatest income in the world. We lost the lead to the Ottoman Empire. Spain will try to regain lost position by improving trade and new investmens. Hovewer Sultan expands his holdings very fast, most of all using diplomacy. The Sultan seems to be very wise ruler and we hope we will keep neutral relations with muslim ruler.
