We are a year late for the 120 Year Review:


One-Hundred Twenty (1) Year Review



Here’s the map for you:



As you can see, we have explored all of the Indian Ocean, and as far as I can go from Ceram as a base into the Pacific and using Mauritius around Africa into the Atlantic

We can’t see any European presence anywhere save for Portugal on the island of Fernando Po.

Our income is a little worse than Ming China’s. We have the 2nd best development we know of.

We only have 33 techs, which is 6 worse that Ming and lots worse than tons of others. For example, we captured a holding from Brunei with a Naval Equipment Manufactory in it that we cannot even build!

We are tied with Ming, Jaunpur, and Mamluks for 21 ideas finished though.




Our Top Ten Provinces by Tax:


1. Pasai
2. Sukhothai
3. Malacca
4. Luang Prabang
5. Puereuluk
6. Savanh Nakhon
7. Ayutthaya
8. Nakhon Thung Yai
9. Siak
10. Chiang Mai


Our Top Ten Provinces by Production:


1. Pagarruyung (Gold)
2. Savanh Nakhon (Copper)
3. Perak (Copper)
4. Khorat (Silk)
5. Ayutthaya (Ivory)
6. Nong Khai (Silk)
7. Nakhon Thung Yai (Gems)
8. Bangka (Copper)
9. Malacca (Spices)
10. Sukhothai (Chinaware)


I put the main trade good there beside them so you could see them in context. We have Textile Manufactories in the Silk provinces, Weapons in Copper, and such so they are making twice the goods.

Top Provinces We Know Of in the World by 30+ Development

1. Qahirah (Cairo)
2. Sukhothai
3. Beijing
4. Nanking
5. Kyoto
6. Hancheng
7. Vijayanagar
8. Azerbaycan
9. Tirhut
10. Malacca
11. Pasai
12. Konaseema

Those are the only 12 that hit 30 or more development in the world, from 30 (Konaseema) to 39 (Cairo). We have three!


We have 83 holdings


Colonies in Flores, Mahe, and Sumbawa

Next in the Indies are Lombok and Sumba, part of the state we already began.



Here are the top colonies by production we know of. I suspect we’ll reach out to Cape soon.

Our King is the 3rd best General in Asia, and we have two more in the top 10.


At 82k, we have the 2nd largest army we know of – Ming China has 140k. Bengal is 3rd with 55k, and Muscovy 4th at 49k.

With 50 ships, we are 3rd biggest we know of. Japan has 52 and Ming China 86.

Religion:

93.7 % Theravada Buddhist
6.3% Hindu


Cultures:


Central Thai – 21.6%
Northern Thai – 11.5%
Malay – 14.0%
Sumatran – 16.2%
Khmer – 20.6%
Burmese – 10.01%


All others (Shan, Java, Laotian, Karen, Moluccan) are around 3% total. I got rid of Cham – I converted it to Khmer back when it was taking up a valuable culture, and I waned to keep expanding.


Top Ten Trade Nodes We Know Of:

1. Beijing
2. Bengal
3. Gujarat
4. Hangzhou
5. Persia
6. Alexandria
7. Siam
8. Deccan
9. Nippon
10. Malacca

We have two of those in our nation (we also have Burma in Ava).


Current Price of Trade Goods:


5.25 - Paper
5.0 - Gems
4.5 – Copper
4.0 – Dyes, Silks, Ivory, Cocoa
3.6 – Cloth
3.0 – Cotton, Glass, Tobacco, Chinaware, Spices, Coffee, Sugar, Slaves, Iron, Salt
2.70 – Fur
2.5 – Livestock, Wine, Tea
2.25 – Fish
2.12 – Incense
2.0 – Grain, Wool, Naval Supplies, Tropical Wood


And there you are! As you can see, some have shifted up (Tea) or down (Grain) since last time we dug into these.


We are the production leader for the world in these goods – Tropical Wood, Copper, Chinaware, Spices, Sugar, Incense, and Ivory

We are the trade leader (which give you bonuses)

For:

Tropical Wood -5% dev cost
Incense – Tolerance of True Faith +0.5
Spices - +25% Spy Network Building
Copper -20% recruitment time
Tea - -10% Advisor Costs
Chinaware +0.25 annual legitimacy

Some, like Tea and Wood, are really good.


Great Powers of the World

1. Spain
2. Ming China
3. Ottomans
4. Commonwealth
5. Burgundy
6. Sukhothai
7. France
8. Muscovy

Fell off? Great Britain and Mamluks
