The last game held a lot of potential and is generally up-to-date, so I'll include the stats for that here just to make it easier. rules are here, although both of these are getting updated. As of right now, those updates will look something like this:
-Some rework of colonial mechanics, mostly as related to trade companies, but also give colonies more flavor. I plan on adding a rating for the autonomy of a colony, which will be tied in to how many credits it earns you as a whole.
-Better/more listings for native powers in the Americas, Africa, and elsewhere. Along these lines, I might include small amounts of non-rebel uh, rebel groups, to influence events and encourage more interesting stuff domestically. Think like various alliances of the Highlanders in Scotland, or important nobles elsewhere, etc.
-Court politics (are the best don't @ me). Namely in two forms, an Influence rating that functions alongside the Popularity one, representing how much sway you really have over your government. Doing things that please the upper crust of your society will have a somewhat higher chance of success than the opposite. Secondly, since this is the time of byzantine alliances, I'll also list what alliances player nations have, alongside a Build Ties action that provides more support/pisses less people off during actions done in favor of those ties, with the inverse being true.
-I will probably make Seren come up with naval stuff. Also, piracy will be a thing.
Okay, so there you have it. Huojin will be co-GMing in an as of yet unspecified capacity but more or less doing the same shit I did for 1985. Probably not a music thread, I guess, unless my dude fucks with some baroque. We're doing signups live, preferences style. List three in order.
Nations most beneficial to have:
Kingdom of Great Britain
Kingdom of France
Kingdom of Spain
Republic of the Seven United Netherlands
Habsburg Monarchy
Kingdom of Prussia
Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth
Kingdom of Sweden
Tsardom of Russia
Sublime Ottoman State
Denmark-Norway
Mughal Empire
Kingdom of Portugal
Other interesting nations:
Electorate of Bavaria
Iroquois Confederacy
Duchy of Savoy
Most Serene Republic of Venice
The Expansive Realm of Iran
Empire of Great Qing
Maratha Confederacy
Alaouite Dynasty (Morocco)
If you want to go for another nation, feel free to claim it (if it's in the stats, at least). No promises for anything just yet.

EARLY 1715
Europe
*Cast into suspicion for his part in secret armistice negotiations with France leading to the Treaty of Utrecht and the end of the War of Spanish Succession, Henry St John, 1st Viscount Bolingbroke, flees Great Britain for France. Falling in with the Stuart Pretenders, he comes secretary of state to James Edward Stuart, would-be king.
*For this act of treason, Bolingbroke is impeached by Parliament.
*A Jacobite mob sacks two chapels in the north of England.
*Ulrika Eleonora, Princess of Sweden and sister to the present King, marries Frederick, heir to the Landgrave of Hesse-Kassel. The marriage begins to engender questions of relating to the line of succession, as Charles XII remains childless, with his nephew Charles Frederick, Duke of Holstein-Gottorp, the presently assumed heir.
*However more pressing issues than succession face Sweden at present, with the Great Northern War continuing to rage. The Danish Navy scores a victory against their Swedish counterparts in the Fehmarn Belt, while Russian forces continue to occupy the Swedish Baltic territories and much of the Finnish coast. Meanwhile the city of Stralsund remains under close siege, and in yet more dire news, King George I of Great Britain, in his capacity as Elector of Hanover, has signed an alliance with the Kingdom of Prussia directed against Sweden. Although Prussia remains neutral for the time being, many being to speculate it may soon enter the war.
*With war declared by the Ottomans in late December against Venice, the Turks launch a rapid assault against the underprepared Venetians. Undermanned, unable to defend their many fortifications, and isolated from the local Greek populace, the Venetian forces in Morea find themselves quickly assailed by a vast Ottoman army. Acrocorinth surrenders quickly (though its quick collapse is marred by the massacre or enslavement of most of the garrison and civilian populace), leaving the way into the Peloponnese open. They advance towards the centre of Venetian power in Morea, the city of Nafplion.
*Prompting a great stirring throughout France and indeed all of Europe, a Persian embassy arrives in Paris at the court of Louis XIV. Accompanied by a grand entourage and bearing splendid gifts, Mohammed Reza Beg begins conducting negotiations relating to trade and friendship between the Safavid Empire and France.
The Americas
*After fighting since 1711, the Tuscarora natives and their allies admit their defeat in the face of the colonial forces of the Carolinas colonies. Many of their allies move inland, away from the increasingly heavily settled coasts, whilst the Tuscarora themselves primarily move north to the Province of New York, settling amongst the Iroquois.
*Having relied heavily on native allies to form the bulk of the armies used to defeat the Tuscarora, new exposure and ties are built between the British colonists and many of their native neighbours. However this both for good and for ill, as competition between settlers and natives over vital resources like deer and slaves bring them increasingly into conflict.
*Fighting flares up anew as the Yamasee peoples, the closest and most powerful allies of the British in the Carolinas (and also the most exposed to the vagaries of the colonists) turn against them - joined by most tribes in the region, including almost all of those who had allied with the British against the Tuscarora.
*New France re-establishes its presence on the Straits of Mackinac, building Fort Michilimackinac.
*With fighting in North America as part of Queen Anne’s War well and truly concluded, the British build a new fort, Fort George, in Brunswick, Maine. Near the boundary of disputed land between France and Britain, it proves more than a little provocative.
Asia
*The Mughal-Sikh Wars continue to rage, as the Mughals lay siege to the small fortress of Gurdas Nangal.
