Doctor Lacroix will participate in the Hellas Exploration, on behalf of the United Martian Republic.
Turn 2, July-December 1880
((News posts are only for colonies that I've received orders from))
United Martian Republic: The glorious proletarian state constructed a new textile factory, making warm durable Granx-wool clothing for the masses.
Net stat change: +1 factory, +1 wealth, +1 prestige, +3 mp
Bearington Trading Company: The BTC invested all of its capital in an ambitious industrialization scheme, bringing the full strength of British industrial know-how to bear on Mars.
Net stat change: +3 factories, -3 wealth, 1 prestige, +2 mp
CoD Company: The CoD company invested in a Great Tramway Terminal to serve as the transport hub for the corporate empire.
Net Stat Change: +1 factory, +2 wealth, +1 prestige, +3 mp
Novomarssk: The Russians put their convict laborers to work building a new factory.
Net Stat Change: +1 factory, +1 prestige, +3 mp
CSNA: The Confederates expand their army, conquering the remaining coastlines of the Argyre Sea. The resources and slaves they gained fuel the expansion of Confederate industry
Net Stat Change: +1 factory, +8 prestige, +1 army, +3 mp
Nya Skandinaven The Swedish colony expands its army, and engages in a campaign to forcibly pacify and civilize the native Martians to their south. Their troops beat a New Acadian expedition into the region. While they succeed in establishing control along the canal, an expedition to the deeper interior is defeated.
Net Stat Change: +8 prestige, -1 army, +1 mp
New Byzantium: The Neo-Byzantines massively expand their army. Once again their fleet of gunboats patrol the canals, while a Byzantine expedition forcibly annexes the south west part of Terra Arabia before a group of German diplomats can arrive to offer the Kaiser's protection.
Net Stat Change: +8 prestige, +2 armies, +2 mp
Kongeriket Norge: The Norwegian separatists recruit additional troops to defend their colony.
Net Stat Change: + 1 army , +1 prestige, +2 mp
New Barcelona: The Spanish colony expanded its army
Net Stat Change: +1 wealth, +1 army, +1 prestige, +2 mp
New Acadia: The French Canadian monarchy arms additional soldiers and marches south. They find Swedish troops already in control of the area. The New Acadians withdraw without further incident.
Net Stat Change: +1 wealth, +1 army, +1 prestige, +2 mp
Neu Konigsberg: The German colony booms. The number of Germans living on Mars doubles, including two new armies of Prussian troops. The full weight of the Neu Konigsberg war machine falls upon self described "Mighty Copenhagen." The Danes inflict modest casualties upon the Germans, but are ultimately overrun. The surviving Danes flee Mars in their remaining Aetherships, and Mighty Copenhagen is annexed into Neu Konigsberg.
German diplomats were prevented from reaching Terra Arabia by Neo-Byzantine troops, but the remaining independent Martians on the east bank of the Argyrean Canal accepted German protection.
Net Stat change: +1 army, +7 prestige, +6 mp
Shin Kyoto The long idle Japanese colony brings more troops from home.
Net Stat Change: -2 wealth, +2 armies, +2 mp

In other news...
*The annexation of Mighty Copenhagen sends shockwaves through Denmark. Though the colony was never an officially authorized enterprise by the Danish government, the ease of its destruction and dashing of Danish interplanetary ambitions has made many Danes nervous about the might of neighboring Germany. Pan-Scandinavian sentiment is on the rise, with many seeing some sort of confederation with Sweden as the way to protect themselves.
*In an extremely tight election, James Garfield defeats Democrat Gen Winfield Scott Hancock to become the next President of the USA. Mars policy was one of the few wedge issues in the campaign, and the creation of a Bureau of Martian Affairs is expected to be one of Garfield's first legislative priorities next year.
*In South Africa, tensions between the Boers and the British Government erupt into outright war.
*The British win the Battle of Kandahar, cementing their victory in the Second Afghan War. British experts predict peace in Afghanistan for centuries to come.
*The state of the art steamship Columbia completes its maiden voyage. Among its innovations are electric lights. Thomas Edison demonstrates an electric railway.
*Rival circus owners P. T. Barnum and James A. Bailey sign a contract in Bridgeport, Connecticut to create the Barnum & Bailey Circus
*A policy shift in the Meiji Government led to the Japanese Empire pulling the plug on its Martian enterprise of Shin Kyoto. Japanese personnel will be relocated to a planned mining facility on the Moon. This policy was then shifted again, and the Shin Kyoto colony received a new governor and pledge of continued Imperial support.

The following colonies are in danger of being declared vacant and/or being removed from game if I don't hear from their players this turn! Sadly the list includes some great concepts and I'd hate to see them go:
Third French Empire (Maxwell500)
The Princely State of Xanthe (Ab Ovo)
Yeni Baghdad (tyriet)
Mandate of Ma'adim (Watercress)

New Empire of Byzantium
I am please to say that New Byzantium continues to prosper! The factories continue to buzz with activity, and our glorious forces continue to bring civilization to the wilds of the Terra Arabia. Now, it has come to my attention that our German neighbors have attempted to gain land in our sphere of influence. Of course, these fool-hardy attempts have spectacularly failed. Considering this, we will not bring this issue to war. We will let this incident stand as proof of the foresight, might, and wisdom of New Byzantium. However, we wish to reinforce our claims to our rightful land, and wish to keep peaceful relations with nations willing to respect them.-Emperor Mikolas Zelotes of the New Empire of Byzantium
Announcement to the people of Neu Königsberg
The great progress of our proud fatherland continues! We have crushed the Danish squatters and convinced some wild Martians of the superiority of our culture. They will be most useful subjects I am assured. However a separate attempt at bring civilization to these wild creatures was stopped by Greek bandits, proclaiming themselves the successors of the Byzantines. These claims are totally preposterous and the infringement upon German sovereignty is unacceptable. As such we will now mobilize our veteran soldiers and new recruits to crush these vagrants and bring them to heel.
Deutschland über alles!
New Empire of Byzantium
I am saddened by the arrogance of the leadership of Neu Königsberg. This shows the rashness and harshness of their rule. We clearly defined our sphere of influence months ago, but they have not only ignored it, but have claimed it to be their rightful land! We will give Neu Königsberg one last chance for peace so that the blood of their citizens does not pollute the land. However, given their actions, we have no choice but to mobilize our glorious forces. If war is to occur, we assure Mars that we will clear it of this menace. Glory to New Byzantium!-Emperor Mikolas Zelotes of the New Empire of Byzantium

Message to J. Reilly
Sir,
Latest Aethership got a good view coming in.
We have located a large Martian settlement by the mysterious structure to the East, known as Heathen's Rock.
Menials say the mountain range to the North is sacred.
Surely that can only mean one thing... There's gold in those hills!
Perhaps it would be a good idea to fund an expedition.
I enclosed a map drawn by one our pilots.

((I don't think you can make any more new colonies, BUT you might be able to take one of the colonies that dropped out and reshape it to you liking, if it's ok with Deaghaidh.))
