1805
North America
Scandinavian Territories
Scandinavian colonists continue to arrive in Vinland.
Many families begin to farm in the area where archaeological evidence of Leif
Erikson’s settlement would be discovered over a century and half later.
Even without that evidence the authorities hype up the
connection. A settlement in the area is named after Erikson.
Christiania continues to grow in population.
A census shows that German is the most popularly spoken
first language in Dalmarven.
French
The remaining French territories are still underpopulated
compared to the other colonised regions.
British
These colonies are also growing.
Spanish
Mississippi is growing, in population as well as in
industrial development. A few chemists experiment with the recently invented
electric pile.
The Confederation of the Rockies is calm, but some tribes
are uncertain as to what the future holds for them.
In New Madrid, there are some who want more
self-determination for the Viceroyalty of New Spain. The numbers grow slowly
through the year.
South America
Border skirmishes occur between Spanish and Scandinavian
colonists in the area where their claims overlap.
Europe
Britain
The Patent Office find themselves increasingly
overwhelmed with plans for new devices. (Many of them quite far ahead of their
time.)
Scandinavia
Tensions rise with Finland due to their harbouring of the
King. However, said former monarch is not in a position to state Scandinavian
government policy.
Western Europe
Demand for coal is rising.
In a related note, a mining disaster causes unrest in the
south of France.
Spain
Industrialisation increasing. Overcrowding in Madrid has
Government concerned with how to deal with the traffic.
Eastern Europe
Pro-Monarchy sentiment dies down in Finland.
Africa
North Africa
Population growth continues in the Spanish held lands,
with people from all over the Empire moving to the region. Even so, the various
Berber societies are still strong and keep their traditions going.
Relations with the Ottomans are the friendliest they have
been. Even so, there are still those who want to continue the Reconquista further
east. (As far as the Holy Land).
Some Copts in Cairo discuss self determination.
Songhai
More expansion is planned.
Southern Africa
Industrialisation comes to the Cape Colony.
Asia
Middle East
Tensions rise between Afghanistan and the Ottomans.
South Asia
The Dutch Raj continues centralising its power.
East Asia
The Yang begin testing Spanish defences. This includes several
skirmishes where there are Spanish casualties.
Oceania
Industrialisation continues in the major Australian
cities.
Like in North Africa, various indigenous groups have managed
to hold onto their traditions.
A farm near the tripoint of the south-eastern Australian
subdivisions; November 17
Alexander Dorantes Suarez arrived home after a long day
of work. He found his wife, Maria, setting the table. She went over to him and
hugged.
“What’s up?” He asked.
She took out a newspaper and pointed to an article. “A large
skirmish in China. That is where Diego is…” she said referring to her brother.
Alexander knew what she was afraid of, and gave her a
reassuring hug before leading both of them in prayer.
