==Turns==
=== Turn 1 (1836) ===
=== Events ===
* The Bonaparte Legacy: More than a decade had passed after the defeat of the French Empire. Although Napoleon is in the past now, much of his legacy is now expressed through other means. The metric system, the celsius, yet alone, the simple thought of "liberty and equality" is something that the people of Europe, and later, the world will embrace. Napoleon's legacy, like a spark, had ignited the will in the people to force changes, either through means of peace, or violence. People are gaining consciousness, they have begun to realize that they have a voice and they have rights.
* Texan Independence: Texas had declared independence from Mexico; They embrace the same values as the United States and are looking to remain free and equal; opposite of how the Mexicans treated them prior.
* Slavery: Slavery had existed for as long as mankind had begun to gather into little societies. Many countries depend on slavery to keep letting their economies thrive and other countries (mainly France) refuse the idea of slavery upon their new idea of liberty and equality. However, a new question has been raised: how shall the liberals deal with slavery? What problems shall it cause in the future?
