It was a young, crisp morning in Stockholm when the Military Procurer General left the Stockholm Palace on his black carriage. Where will you take your nation? Will you be the one to unite the German states? Perhaps Italy? Will you dominate the balkans as Serbia? Go coast to coast as Russian-America? Stop European colonization as the Zulu or Swhali? Perhaps you will launch the world into republicanism with your own Napoleon? Will you kindle the spirit of your people and forge and empire of greatness? In the 16th Century the pope held the "Great Christian Compromise" inviting many cardinals, archbishops, monarchs, and protestants including Luther and Calvin. In this world, Christendom is ruled by Catholicism and Orthodoxy alone. Italy, while divided, is starting on the path towards unification with the Pan-Italian League. Without a Napoleon, the Holy Roman Empire continues to exist as it is dominated by Bavaria. Many native states still exist as well with limited colonization on the European's part. Eventually, their colony went free and has been expanding ever East in the goal of reaching the Atlantic. Beyond this, the Russian Empire Colonized the west coast of America much earlier on as it was uncontested. Resulting in the rise of the Mamelukes, a divided Greece, Crusader state in Turkey, and the Empire of Nova Roma in Brazil, that event changed the world almost as much as the 100 Years War. In the fourth crusade, things took a turn for the worse spelling the demise of the Ottomans and Byzantines. The Kingdom of Castile merged with Portugal and Aragon remained independent to contest for the waves of the med-sea with Genoa and Venice. Over time, the world changed drastically due to this victory.
Fought between the English and French, it left no stone in history unturned when the Anglo-Burgundy alliance defeated the French and result in the glorious establishment of the Anglois and Burgundy nations. One of the longest wars in history with one of the great impacts was the 100 Years War. Co-OP's - The Kingdom of Glitter, Neros, Liecthenbourg
