[quote=@Aristo] I was going to suggest mine occurring first, and then the influence spreading from the mainland over to your island by the time of Novgorod's control. If that's cool with you I possibly may have had agents riling your population up. Since you've rich in natural resources in comparison to Salodonia, and you're in the process of industrialization, it'd be beneficial to have attempted to sway you to my ideology, and influence as a result.
