Serbia 1902
Facing allegations of mistreatment of Serbs in Kosovo in 1901, the Serbs press the Ottoman government for recumpance and have sent diplomats to all governments in the balkan region. King Alexander stated "As the Kingdom of Serbia faces mistreatment of her people living abroad, we are forced to take a stronger stand in the Balkan stage."
The military of Serbia has been undergoing reforms. The Mauser-Koka has had a new model developed. This firearm is more reliable than the previous, but has a heavier bolt and thus a slower rate of fire. It uses 10.15×63mmR cartridges at .43 caliber and has a slightly better accuracy rate than the previous model, with same precision.
The army system works thusly: 2 regiments in a division, 2 divisions in a corp, 2 corps in an army group. As it stands there are 4 army groups. The standard division is completely uniform, with no division having a certain specialty. The division is: 3 Infantry brigades, 1 artillery brigade, 1 rear support brigade, 1 portable hospital, 2 cavalry, and one HQ brigade.
The King of Serbia states that he wants to raise another army group by 1910 and has already begun allowing people to train as officers.
The King has begun to steer trade to export cloth and rubber, both are quite abundant currently. Natural resources are at an average rate so no imports are exactly needed, and so some of the excess items being traded that are not for cash are being bartered for luxury goods such as chocolates and spices, as well as jewelry. The merchants begin distribution of wealth which placates the population, temporarily.

Belgium 1902
Political
The agenda for the Federal Parliament was militarization of the army and the Force Publique. Each political party was able to agree that the Force Publique should continue to enforce the quota, but in a more humane manner. In addition, the Force Publique would not be expanded in size or decreased. Concerning militarization of the army, political division was prevalent. However, as the Catholic Party had the absolute majority, brought down any attempts at expanding the military. They did compromise, however, by agreeing to professionalize the troops so that the country could defend itself.
Economy
Cocoa output from the Congo Free State became expanded 5-fold, and combined with the increased ability of the working class to purchase the chocolate created from the cocoa, helped to develop the chocolate industry and thus the economy. Other developments in the Belgian economy occurred in the Sillion industriel, the industrial backbone of Belgium.
Military
Its troop size remained from the Law of 16 August 1873 as a result of the veto from the Catholic Party. Extensive training of the army began, from dawn to dusk with breaks in between. The Royal Military Academy in Brussels reformed its admissions and curriculum in order to better prepare Belgian military officers for combat.
Foreign Affairs
The Federal Parliament pushes for its acquirement of a piece of Tientsin from the Qing Dynasty, sending diplomatic envoys there. Belgium continues to seek economic cooperation with neighboring countries, such as the Netherlands, France, and the German Empire.

Spain 1902 (Part 1 of 2):MAJOR EVENT:At Alfonso XIII's coronation, there are multiple Catalan Crusaders hidden within the crowd attending the event. Just before the crown is put on Alfonso's head, the nationalist José Carlos de Valencia fires a single shot at the almost crowned king. Carlos is shot on the scene. This triggers a civil war in Spain. The war is taking place between the monarchists and the modern monarchists. The modern monarchists occupy Catalonia and Valencia. Economy:For normal Spain, with a loss of their leading province in terms of economy, they are suffering economically.They are looking to trade with Portugal and the USA ( António Salazar) and Brazil ( Ivan Kolev) to avoid having their ships go through possible trade interdictions. For Catalonia, they are working on lowering the number of civilian goods. In the meantime they are working on expanding their industries on the home front, and they have heard that Britain ( Wilhelm Ritter von Leeb) might be willing to support them, so they've sent a telegram requesting industrial advisors. Military:With the war raging, the concept of conscription has been developed in Spain: Spain: 1 million men conscripted New Spain/Catalonia: .5 million men conscripted Both of the nations have lousy military advisors. But New Spain/Catalonia has higher morale and are working on getting advisors from Britain ( Wilhelm Ritter von Leeb) as well. Navy:Near to non-existent. Both of them mainly have destroyers. Edit on navy: I put destroyers accidentally. They actually had not been invented. I meant frigates. Expect a military turn in a few minutes!

Old Spain 1902 - Military:
If we can defeat these radicals at their critical cities, then we will be able to crush their morale and this war will be easily won.
We've launched a two pronged attack on the cities Lerida and Morella. In both campaigns, we are facing high morale opposition and attacking critical points, so we will need a 9 to win.

Lerida xWINkEqgMorella
The Old Spain offensive has failed, so we are planning to launch a counterattack. The Lerida campaign failed more miserably, so we don't expect an attack from there. Are attacks will be launched against the Morella army and Murcia, so we can drive ourselves further south. Morella needs only a low 6 for victory, since our opponent's army has been weakened. eTWFxF_YMurcia will require a 10 for victory as it is fortified, and we don't have a ton of manpower. ··· |

Spain 1902 (Part 2 of 2):
I think it is safe to say that the forces are mostly in stalemate. All the offensives have failed, but the Morello counter-offensive is the only exception. To total casualties, I would say that due to lousy tactics, the casualties are listed below:
Old Spain: 80,000 men
New Spain: 40,000 men
That brings the totals to:
0.92 million men for Old Spain
0.46 million men for New Spain

Economy
Continuing subsidies for small starting firms, minimum wages (increased spending by lower classes) and an intensive railroad infrastructure plan seems to slowly provide money for the few. These economic reforms are very popular with the working class.
Political
Integrating territories is still ongoing. The progressives under Theodore Roosevelt hold a comfortable majority.
Military
The United States continues its militia system, conscripting millions of Americans. To reduce the impact on society students and those holding important jobs are exempt from militia conscription. Whilst conscripted, one gets paid a decent amount of money to provide for his/her family.
Foreign Policy
The United States reaches out to the Spanish embassy in Washington DC. The States are willing to provide economic support but would like to see a more democratic and liberal governmental system in Spain. Theodore Roosevelt being the president, the diplomatic approach will be the speak softly, and carry a big stick ideology. The United States is willing to engage in conversation with any power. The Republic shall treat all sovereign nations and their cultures and traditions with respect. On the other hand, the Republic will not be reluctant using its military strength to enforce its goals, if the situation does no longer allow a peaceful solution.

Tsarstvo Bŭlgariya 1902:
Military
With its population bulging over four million, due to the influx of returning Bulgarians and various Turkish groups, It would be only rational to conscript the Tsardom’s male population. With over fifty thousand already active servicemen from the previous conflicts, a small but suitable force would compensate for its premature state. By considering to build armies on the basis of corresponding age, each army would be segregated into three separate areas of the Tsardom. One army is to be situated in Western Bulgaria (Sofia), Southern Bulgaria (Plovdiv), and finally, Ruse (Northern Bulgaria). Initiation of more sophisticated cavalry divisions has been taken into consideration, as well as implementing labor and machine gun platoons in future endeavors.
Political
Extensive talks between Serbian officials and the Tsardom have been conducted over the past year. Hoping for an appropriate response by Serbia and the Tsardom’s neighbors, the creation of a Balkan league, is a certainty. The Tsar has no opinion on the current conflict in Spain, nor does he have any comment for Imperial Russia.
Economy
Although industrialization has provided the Tsardom with a boost in importation, the majority of the Tsardom continues to rely on the primitive aspect, it has once produced in the fifteenth - seventeenth century. With roads, modernization in structures, and forts littered all across the mountainous terrain, the Tsardom still manages to incorporate agriculture. With the aspect of constructing a harbor in Varna, the motion of a navy is possible.

Die Österreichisch-Ungarische Monarchie 1902
Preliminary installation of an autonomous ethnic state in Czechia has been completed, and the regional government’s seats have been filled.
Rolling for the success of the theory.
The higher the roll, the better the result.
M60lbiOC
The regional government is determined popular enough to be maintained, and the prelimnary complete. Serbo-Croatian, Polish, and Ruthenian Governments have been approved for installation in the following year.
Brazilian Coup d’etat
Upon hearing of the success of Ludwig-Gaston’s coup d’etat of Brazil, Emperor Franz Joseph sends his congratulations to the new administration on the redemption of Dom Pedro II and the installation of a Habsburg Regime in the new world. Shortly afterwards, The Novemberist Manifesto is signed, and Austria-Hungary opens all trade with Brazil.
Bicameral Crackdown
Defense Spending is on par with that of Russia, following the Economic Crash of 1873, and the primarily liberal Reichsrat (parliament). 1,000 Imperial-Royal Landwehr are mobilized to Vienna. The liberal majority must be removed if Austria-Hungary is to flourish on the battlefield. Reactionary and Conservative members are notified, and Reichsrat Guardsmen are given orders to allow no Leftist representatives to leave the building. Rolling for success. Same
rules as the roll for the Czech Government.
The majority of the Leftists escape the building. The Reichsrat Guards, whether ineffective or traitorous, are all executed and replaced with Imperial-Royals. Leftists go into hiding and spread word of the crackdown. Attempts to stem the flow of propaganda are made.
Still unsuccessful. Dissent begins to rise throughout Vienna, but the propaganda does not leave the city. Sting Operations are launched towards the end of
the year. Rolling for efficiency.
More leftists are captured than the raid on the Bicameral Building, but the operations are primarily unsuccessful. More are to be launched next year.
The Spanish Civil War
Whilst the crackdown on the leftist government occurs, the Spanish Civil War began. Austria, eager to see which side emerges the victor, lies in wait.
