Colour: Dark Blue
Fluff: Formed by several sages who believed they had found a point where all the ley lines of the world connect. Using the ley lines they hope to obtain mastery over nature and a way to read the knowledge of the land.

Today’s numbering system is…….The French Language!
A Note: That striped portion of Cossacks is a vassal state under inferno. Vassal states can now be formed from NPC’s or conquered enemies. They can be used as portions of your own nation as far as actions go but can have separate resources and are separate entities for fluff purposes. Inferno, this vassal has 1 pop and 1 army. You may kidnap the populace for experimentation as you wish but doing so too frequently will cause problems. Nothing serious but you may need to light rebels on fire from time to time.
You may also notice some nations have been removed due to inactivity. I give a grace period of 2 sessions then the nation will be removed. If you tell me you’re going to miss it before we start I won’t count that session as an absence.
P.S. If you could post progress on research and mines (x/x) next to the actions it will save me the time of scrolling to find it.

You can post first turns now, if i get bored waiting I will bump with Most Glorious Cossack Pictures

Councilman Bornello looks over the new troops with a distinct eye for detail. These men and women are indeed the best of the best Mon' Grayr has to offer. Gathered before him are the sharpest minds, the most reflexive muscles, and the coldest eyes he had seen in his lifetime. Those cold eyes. Bright gleaming blue from years of spice ingestion, treatments delivered daily since birth, yet still a dullness hid behind the shimmer. The hardening of the soul that comes with becoming a mental warrior. A psychic arbiter of death. These Psi-Ops forces would in time come to offer a new definition of warfare to the world, and the massive multi-barreled steam propelled devices of destruction each platoon wheeled at their side was more than an assurance of that alone.

The clan chief rose from his sickbed at last. The medicine his people had gained through trade had saved his life, but had taken him away from his people for far too long. The plague had not been so fortunate to others, however. He was determined not to make the same mistake twice. His regent had been receiving his orders.

The pirates were a problem, Maurice knew. But he also knew that pirates were simply Privateers who hadn't been hired yet. He would change that...

As well, diplomacy with the easterners. It hurt Maurice deeply to abandon the currency he'd forged with his own hands (in both meanings of the word), but the offer made to him was too good to pass up. It gave him and his people an already working and strong currency to use, as well as partners to sell the tea to. He accepts their offer wholeheartedly.

His scientists had created something they called the "scientific method". It was absolutely revolutionary, and they had already begun to use it to speed and improve the development of other technologies. Notably the concept of "locomotion", using steel and steam to transport vast quantities of goods across a large area.

Cogholme had begun to fall behind on roads, and rather than play catchup, the chief saw the virtue of bypassing the need for traditional roads entirely. The rail system would be his roads now. First he would develop the tech, then he would implement it. And the whole nation would run on the efficiency of the cog itself.

After the accident with the experimental steel furnaces, that lead to the destruction of the entire South East Maritem City Dock Complex, a small group of Maritem diplomats, scientists, and traders sailed to CogHolme to ask their help with developing steel. After hours of diplomacy, and a few drunk agreements, the two parties finally came to an agreement; Maritem would teach CogHolme sailors in the ways of advance navigation, in return for steel and paper making techniques. Maritem also agreed to do research for CogHolme, in return for designs of a printing press.

Ties with the nation of Maritem had been strengthened significantly recently. The research pact had gone better than anyone had ever dared hope - inventing not only chemistry but a new invention his people had dubbed, "thunderpowder". The research agreement hadn't taken into account this further invention. But treaties had been signed. Arrangements had been made.

His people liked the Maritem people. So fluid - so moving. Freeier than his and yet still valuing currency and order. He could see a great deal of value with stronger relations.

In return for the brand new steam engine technology, he would receive the secrets of thunderpowder, and the secrets of alcohol. Their peoples would sign non-aggression treaties, create new trade routes, and further increase relations. Each was bound to keep the technology of the other a secret. Neither thunderpowder nor steam engines would reach the world through their factions.

It was the dawn of a whole new era for both peoples.

And a non-aggression pact, to ensure the new nation that his people, although harsh, were fair.

Nice to see a nation builder game after so long. I see you guys are all full up, so happy building. Hopefully there will be more builders in the future.

Name: Union of the West

Location: North of the Pan-Polynesian tribe

Color: Dark Green

Fluff: The tribes of the north have always been united under a sort of confederation that protects them from any outside threat. This has been going on for many generations, prompting the tribes to build on their federation. Under the strong leadership of their new regional council, they have formed and merged into a new nation, the Union of the West. The tribesmen hope to build on their newly formed nation, hoping to forge a strong history for everyone.

Hope that was good enough, not very good with writing amazing fluff.

BLOOD AND THUNDER

Mon'Grayr had grown overconfident, and felt threatened by a peaceful rising power. Unfortunately for them, the sons of the Sky Gods have not forgotten how to bite through motherfuckers throats during their brief peaceful interval.

UCE

*Insert stats and fluff here*

Upon hearing the news that the long-term trading partners of the UCE, the Mon Grayr’ people were at war with the insidious Storm Confederation, Grand Commissar Kelnitz immediately directed the Ministry for Force Projection and Warfare Related Activities to inform the UCE’s naval assets in location to assist the Mon Grayr’ forces in any way they could. He further directed the Ministry to send a delegation to the Mon Grayr’ capital with the UCE’s knowledge of gunpowder, Ironclads and steam ships, three technological innovations which would certainly aid the people of Mon Grayr should the war against the Storm Confederation drag on.

1 Embark two armies on ships and begin sailing northwards
2 Research the refinement of coal and fossil fuels in general

The tidings of war were grim indeed. The people of Cogholme and the Storm Confederation had had their differences in the past, but this was dire. Great nations coming against a young and weak one. True, the storm confederation were aggressive, but they were young. They did not have the harsh and long history of the people of Cogholme to temper them in favor of order and control.

Cogholme was not ready to enter on either side, remembering past threats by the Storm Confederation, and bearing no ill will toward the people of Mon'Grayr, who were longstanding trading partners. But he would do well to prepare for the event of terrible war, should any side come against him. Maritem was likewise neutral at this time, but the threat of possible war spilling into their territories was threat enough to increase relations. Maritem had agreed to allow his navies to train at his great naval center. Researching the central intelligence agency would have to wait for now.

Dealings with various powers alarmed at MonGrayrs aggression and Nothern forges have armed the Confederate Army for a vicious counter-attack.

Grim men hold spear, shield, and axe as they approach the battle line in their heavy armor of Northern steel. Their only mission is to utterly exterminate those who would dare assault them in the name of "bettering" the free people of the Confederation!

A storm will soon come to the shores of the great merchant empire, but first it must gather here...
