GM Note:

The deadline is extended due to a player absence, note the Spring deadline is not for next week.

I will be away without internet access the next two weeks. My son Davlin will be taking over the game as GM for that time.

I could not find Build orders from China.
I could not find Disband orders from Japan.

Press:

Moscow Imperial Gazette
It is with great relish that we announce the addition of the new Protectorate of Japan to the glorious Russian Empire.
His imperial Magesty, Tzar Jason the First, has guaranteed his brother, the emperor of Japan, sovereignty in Tokyo.
The remainder of the Japanese home Islands will be occupied by Tzarist troops, and held in trust for the Japanese people.
The Russian people welcome our new brethren into the fold!
