Update tomorrow guys (hopefully), but no guarantees. I had planned it for today, but things I needed to do in RL kept me off yesterday.
Also, I'll give you guys fair warning: Once I post "Update started," I ignore everything from then until the update.
NPC DIPLOMACY
From CSA
To Great Britain
*Secret*
Sure!
From Russia
To Great Britain
We're willing to get Alaska off of our hands, since it's been nothing but a burden to us. Since you could better take care of it, and since we need the money, would you like to buy it from us?
From Japan
To Germany
*Secret*
Of course! If your actions will divert the Russians from Manchuria, that would be very helpful to us. And if the British intervene for the Russians, you stand a very good chance of recieving Hong Kong as our little gift to you, if you get the idea.

ooc:You should be persistant on your updates...And actually set aside some time to update...I believe that the only some of the NES's on this site actually last more than 1 or 2 updates unless modded by people from CFC (Staznes)...Maybe it's because people from this site have too much to do?Or maybe they don't give a poo?Well..Either way...Tip for the Mod...Don't keep stalling updates...It makes players loose interest fast,and I'd like to see this NES live a while

This is a fine plan. Though we would like to take France out first. In their weaken state they will not stand a chance against Germany. Then Germany will not have to worry about fighting a two front war.

UPDATE April 1881
North America
The United States has sent troops to defend its borders against Confederate attacks. However, the CSA has made no effort to make any major offensive operations against US forces. In a private talk with Commander-in-Chief Gen. Thomas J. Jackson, President Longstreet stated, "We must not be made out to look like the aggressor if we are to get England and France to join our cause."
Lieut. Gen. James E. B. "Jeb" Stuart (CSA) has begun establishing friendly terms with the Apache Indians in northern Sonora. He is attempting to use their mutual hatred of the US to bring the Apache into the Confederate fold.
Both the USA and CSA are making patriotic appeals to the citizenry to swell their ranks. Many new recruits have joined up on both sides.
Minor Indian raids from Confederate Indian Territory have wrought some havoc along the border, as they have for decades. However, as there is now a state of war between the USA and CSA, the Union forces are allowed to pursue them over the border and retaliate, which they have.
The US has imposed a naval blockade against the CS in an attempt to cut off its trade to the outside world. Already several ships have been searched, and those bearing munitions destined for the Confederacy have been turned back with said munitions confiscated.
The Mormons are becoming a bit unruly up in Utah Territory. Gen. John Pope (USA), military governor of Utah, has emplaced restrictions to counterweight this.
Europe
Due to the fact that it is still recovering from its recent defeat at the hands of Germany, and that there has been no official declaration of war by Britain against the USA, France will remain neutral in the American conflict "for the time being."
The German Empire has recieved naval blueprints from the US and is in the process of upgrading its navy. Using some of these plans, it has also begun work on more of its own ships fitted out with new technology.
Asia/Middle East
Ottoman invasion of Persia! Turkish forces have attacked Persia. They have taken some ground, due to the unexpected lightness of Persian resistance. However, they have been forced to withdraw after recieving news of...
Persian raid on Iraq! The main Persian force, mounted on swift horses, struck deep into the heart of Ottoman-controlled Mesopotamia. Though little real damage was done to either side, the raid has disrupted Ottoman strategic thinking and morale.
Persia has recieved military hardware from the Austrian Empire. Due to the lack of industrial base, it will take a while before the Persians can produce their own, but they are working on it.
The Ottoman navy has defeated the Persian fleet in a naval battle in the Indian Ocean and forced it back to port. A naval blockade is being imposed on Persia.
Japan has begun to expand its economic base. It is building more industrial and commercial facilities within its borders and is sending more traders to other countries.
China has begun to expand its military out of fear of both the Russians and Japanese.
Africa
Africa continues to be relatively peaceful, with the occasional supression of a native uprising here and there.
More to come.
South America
Peru and Chile have declared war on each other over the Arica border again. Neither side has made any real gains (or done anything but exchanged cannon shots).

Japanese Diplomacy
To Germany
From Japan:
[secret]Please welcome our support for your French invasion. Good luck.
To Persia
From Japan
[secret]Please welcome our shipment of arms to your aid, and 10,000 troops to help you crush the Ottoman beast
Tokyo Daily
The first ironclad has hit the waves after a mass patriotic effort in a Kobe shipyard this week. Named Yukisama, after the Emperor's son, it marks a milestone in Japanese naval history.
Also this week, Japan farewells the Floyjusima division of the Emperor's army, fighting the Ottoman enslavers in the middle east. The Emperor's Military Advisor, Hujitsu Turonika, spoke at their departure, and awarded the crew a collective Cross of Japan medallion.
Finally, in business news, the Japanese munitions industry, buoyed by the heroes on their way to the middle east, have begun researching new armoury, most notably a 60mm rapid fire field piece.

To: Japan
From: Persia
(secret)
We welcome you and your aid, and gratefully thank you for it.
As for an opening of a trade route between our countries, we would really like to open our trade with Japan, but unfortunatly the Ottoman blockade isn't allowing us to use our merchant fleet, maybe we could work out a land route that goes through Afghanistan-China-Korea(/secret)
To: Afghanistan, China
From: Persia
Dear friends and neighbors, we would like to exchange our hand of friendship with you, therefore we offer you a NAP and a Trade Pact, so that our people may be able to trade freely between our countries, do you accept?
To: Ottoman
From: Persia
You couldn't defeat us in over 6 centuries of fighting, what makes you so sure that you will win this war. The various people living under your rule are asking for more and more autonomy. Do you really think you can destroy us? and even if you manage to do it, Do you really think that the British Empire will not add you to his "sphere of influence" just as they did to the Mughal and Indian nations?
To: Austria, Germany
From: Persia
(secret)
We kindly thank you for the technology and the advisors you sent to our country, thanks to you the Persian Empire may industrialize and prosper, and may help the Austro-German Alliance in anything they may need in the near future(/secret)

MAY 1881 Update
North America
Union offensive begins! A Northern drive down the Mississippi into Arkansas and Tennessee started almost without a hitch. However, the Confederates were able to badly slow the advance by resorting to a previously unheard-of method of fighting: urban warfare. Union troops were surprised that, when they moved into a city, instead of retreating to open ground where they could "properly" do battle, the Confederates slugged it out from house to house and block to block. Traditionally, armies have triedw to avoid urban centers in fighting.
Many Mormons throughout rejoiced in celebrations of the "removal of the oppressors" from Salt Lake City. On the other hand, many Easterners were disgusted that the President has allowed the Mormons to keep their "unlawful" practice of polygamy.
Europe/Asia Minor
In the words of a popular novelist of the times, tension in Europe is "tight as the strings of a violin." Statesmen representing the major powers (Germany, England, Russia, etc.) are all accusing each other of violating the rules of neutrality by providing military aid to nations in the Middle East and North America, despite the fact that the states they represent are often just as guilty as the ones they are accusing.
Middle East/North Africa
The Ottoman armies, some armed with British and French weapons, have again attempted another press into Persian territory, this time with more initial success. However, some Ottoman commanders, annoyed by the constant pestering of Persian light horsemen, have ordered their troops to pursue the raiders instead of pressing towards their objectives, thus giving the main Persian forces enough time to prepare for a stubborn defense.
A Persian attempt to unify the Arabs against the Ottoman Empire has backfired, in a way. Instead of uniting the Arabs against the Ottomans, Persian propaganda has split the tribes of the Arabian Desert into pro- and anti-Ottoman factions, thus causing large amounts of bloodshed on the sands of the Arabian Peninsula.
The Berbers of French Algeria are becoming agitated by a sudden dropoff of their water supply. Already the port of Algiers itself has been attacked, though the FFL (French Foreign Legion) managed to beat back the attackers. Other minor settlements, however, have not been so lucky; many have been looted and burned. French authorities are promising to take action ASAP.
East Asia/Orient
Russia is beginning to eye Manchuria. Japanese citizens are concerned, seeing that Manchuria is a food source for a good-sized part of the islands.
Central/South Africa
More of the same old rough life (and death) in the jungles and on the plains of the African continent.
South America
The Peruvian-Chilean border conflict has escalated. Peruvian troops have attacked and defeated Chilean troops in a minor engagement just north of the border.
Australia/Oceania
The natives of the Sandwich Islands, on which a British coaling station has existed since 1868, have applied for member status within the British Empire.
-------
NPC Diplomacy
From: Anti-Ottoman Arab factions
To: Persia
Assist us in showing our errant Arab brethren the truth about the Ottomans!

Other
-Amon Savag has quit. Therefore the Ottoman Empire is open to any takers.
-After next update (June 1881) I may switch over to 3 months/turn (unless anyone opposes this) in order to make the game go quicker. The turns will go: March, June, September, December.
P.S. Thanks for offering to help, Giovanni. I've got everything under control (in a way) now that I'm back, but I may need your help later.
