Springtime of Empires 1600 - 1804

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.

A Day in Danville - Part 1

Phineas and Ferb – A Day in Danville
It was an ordinary summer’s day in Danville. Or not so ordinary; according to Candace Flynn. For her, it was another day of trying to bust her brothers for their dangerous projects. ‘I’m going to try anyway,’ she thought as she did most days that summer. She finished getting ready and started down for breakfast.

“Good Morning, Candace,” her mother said.

“Morning, Mom.” As she grabbed some cereal, she saw that her brothers, Phineas and Ferb, were already outside, planning their project, along with their pet platypus, Perry, wandering off in the backyard.


“I know what we’re going to do today!” Phineas proclaimed, after several minutes thinking about it.

It was that moment that their friend Isabella Garcia-Shapiro entered the yard and asked “Hey, What’s ya doo-ing?”

“We’re building a fairground,” Phineas said.


For Perry, it was just another day as an agent of the Organisation Without a Cool Acronym.

“Good morning, Agent P,” Francis Monogram said. “Doofenshmirtz has bought up half of the supplies of Almond Brittle in the Tri State Area.”

‘Really?’ Perry thought.

“He’s obviously up to something. Get going and put a stop to it.”

Once again, Perry left on his way to Doofenshmirtz Evil Incorporated.

“Carl! You need to find a substitute for Almond Brittle!”

“I don’t think there is, sir,” Carl Karl said.

“Wouldn’t there be another nut-based Brittle?”

“There is Peanut Brittle, sir.”
