Jan - Oct Year 0:
Merion Consortium founded SIA (Southern Intian Alliance) as a response from Gozian-Dyskleind Union at the time Tal'dorese Empire, Nobra Disky, Herbana, Elestiyanj were forming competition against SIA, Merion maintain a relatively small army around 50,000 all using rifled muskets and pistol. At the time Elestiyanji started migrating into Merion due to the aggressively authoritarian nature of the Elestijanj Government, Officially both governments were relatively good terms despite opposing allegiances. Tal'dorese-Balkan War Merion provided military assistance to Balkan Republic due to the war Merion's military increased to 300,000 Fodder army soldiers (ill trained foot soldiers) and 9 man of wars, and armed all merchant sailing ships. At the time Merion´s Corporations are not formed relying on foriegn companyKalonip Industries to produce: ships, rifled muskets, cannons etc.

Oct - Dec Year 0:
Pestenish Rebel Group Sólvista Pestania declares war on the Merion Consortium due to being angry from the TD-BR war. The DRP (the party at the time which ruled Pesten) was not likely involved in forming this group, The group was too weak to actually do anything but fear did spread throughout Merion.

Jan - Dec Year 1:
A military base is being constructed in Barvia, Fodder army is dissolved stone forts are being constructed on Ishele and Skovado costing 50 million nocks.

Merion will soon privatize its agriculture, fishing, and (soon-to-be) industrial sectors.

in the near future Merion announces to construct 600 watermills, 200 for the consortium, 100 forge, 50 looms half for each nation they will be built by Kalonip industries.

Jan - Nov Year 2:
In August Elestiyanj civil war occured Merion consortium and Kalonip Industries attempt to supply the rebels or the Onbang Government for a profit but it fails.

Nov - Dec Year 2:
Kalonip Industries in money troubles for most of the year and the Industries as such lay off 1,000 workers, Kalonip leaders plea to the Balkan government to pay them or else the company will collapse and a worker revolution will occur (likely extremely exaggerating the situation though the company still has money troubles).

Jan - Dec Year 3
Kalonip industries sends 10 sailing ships and wants to settle the Neuva Canada region for resource extraction with 500 company musket forces but Nobra Disky military kicked them out.

Kalonip went bankrupt in 3 billion nocks in debt, 40,000 workers are without jobs, Balkan Government hires these worker into the army. Though the leaders of the company formed Shang Dynasty.

Jan - Dec Year 4
Merion constructs 400 cannons, 5 man of wars, 5 sailing ships and further expand the military.

8 Man of war, 11,000 troops lend leased Shang Dynasty in order to secure it´s island holdings. Eventually Merion pulls out after losing a MOW to prevent another SIA vs GDU conflict.

5 more mows are being constructed on Merion docks since with Shang defeated, Merion could not rely on former Kalonip to build more ships as such production costs spike dramatically causing cabinet members within Parliament to withhold anymore expensive military expansions.

Jan - Dec Year 5
Relatively uneventful year for Merion, just tech advance and 50,000 rifled muskets, 100 cannons sold to Amabtol/ Imperial Duridon (Duridon).
