Its not nice to stab someone without asking them first after which it is ok regardless.

Common etiquette.
Where must we go, we who wander this wasteland, in search for our better selves?
In Egypt's sandy silence, all alone,
Stands a gigantic Leg, which far off throws
The only shadow that the Desert knows:—
"I am great OZYMANDIAS," saith the stone,
"The King of Kings; this mighty City shows
"The wonders of my hand." The City's gone,
Nought but the Leg remaining to disclose
The site of this forgotten Babylon.

We wonder, and some Hunter may express
Wonder like ours, when thro' the wilderness
Where London stood, holding the Wolf in chace,
He meets some fragment huge, and stops to guess
What powerful but unrecorded race
Once dwelt in that annihilated place.

It seems we are both claiming some territory in Greenland. This could make for an interesting dynamic.

Population (the largest populations are about half a million): 250,000
*Military Percentage (this includes all that can be put in action such as militias): 9%
Government/Culture: The Democratic League is a league of democratic Satyr city-states. The cities themselves are democracies in the Classical sense, where all in the city will come to the center to debate policies and actions. The league resembles this with delegates assembling in the capital of the league to do the same thing.
History: The Democratic League formed shortly after the first city-states of satyrs formed. The carefree nature of the satyrs has contributed to the democratic nature of the cities and league. Currently the league controls about half of the Satyr civilization, and are opposed by the Pact of Power. They oppose the "blatant tyranny" of the Pact,and are in a tense cold war.

Your test scores indicate that you are an open-minded ultra-progressive; this is the political profile one might associate with a journalist. It appears that you are skeptical towards religion, and have a generally optimistic attitude towards humanity in general.
Your attitudes towards economics appear neither committedly capitalist nor socialist, and combined with your social attitudes this creates the picture of someone who would generally be described as a liberal.
To round out the picture you appear to be, political preference aside, a considerate idealistic egalitarian with many strong convictions.

Edited app:
APP:
NS Name: Warp Asylum
Society Name: Empire of Doden
Species: Draugrs
Claims: Iceland Faroe, bits of southern Greenland, Newfoundland, Shetland, Scotland, and Northumbria
Population (the largest populations are about half a million): 465,000
*Military Percentage (this includes all that can be put in action such as militias): 6.66%
Government/Culture: Ruled by a Dread Lord, and administered by jarls, it is a tough, violent society based on clan violence, pillage, and possible conquest. The Dread Lord has the power of life and death (an interesting concept, since technically, everyone is undead), and technically has full command of the military, but the real power is often held by local jarls who jockey for power. The power of the jarls and the Dread Lord are both somewhat restrained by the things, or local councils, Thing gatherings are often rowdy affairs, though physical violence in the presence of the Dread Lord is banned (unless, he of course orders it). Draugrs usually see those not of their kind as prey, though political realities have forced them to be more diplomatic with some of their neighbors. They prowl the seas in longboats, looking for booty and battle.
Iceland is the homeland of the draugrs, and is the personal property of the Dread Lord, but the bulk of the fighting force of the empire comes from Scotland and Northumbria, forcing the Dread Lord to have to cede more authority to those regions than he would prefer.
Though they fight with swords and shields, like all zombies, they use their teeth as well, and frequently devour their enemies. Draugr mead hall feasts often serve humans and other sentient creatures and part of the meal. It is not uncommon for their leaders of a defeated army to be served up at a victory celebration.
Though their language and much of their culture is taken from human Norse culture, they do not worship the Norse gods, but instead, their own pantheon of undead deities.

NS Name: The Empire of Pretantia
Society Name: The Iron Domain of the West
Species: Goblin, Jin Oni (Long story)
Claims: from Turkey to Egypt
Population: 300,000 Goblins, 150,000 Jin Oni
*Military Percentage: 20,000 Goblins(Universally conscripted), 20,000 Oni(Universally conscripted too)
Government/Culture: So firstly we have the ruling caste of Oni, who's political system is... Interesting. It is a democracy, but Oni are very obnoxious and rowdy. Thus, there is a law in place that sanctions trial by combat as a valid method of settlement in the council meetings when it's just a one-on-one thing(Battle royales and party gang-ups are forbidden). The Oni also practice an interesting form of universal conscription. Legally-wise, service is voluntary; in practice, however, standard education includes "Group-discipline practice" as it's called by future soft-balls, "drill practice" as it's called by everyone else, or "teaching the little shits some manners for our soldiers" as the Oni call it. While weapons-training is not part of the standard regimen, the Oni's brute strength and tenacity is enough in a pitched battle.

The goblins are there to do what the Oni do not. Farm, mine, dig trenches, storm buildings, that kind of stuff(The poorer Oni do that too sometimes). Goblins are obviously stupid in comparison to the Oni, but they have the loyalty of a dog.
History: So it all began in the far east some one or two millennia ago, from which the Oni and their goblin slaves migrated to the west because reasons. Here they zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz. Oh sorry, it's just there's not much to it.
Other:
So firstly is some explanations:

The Oni are eight feet tall(On average), muscly(Mark Strong strong), red, rough bare skin, neutral-colored hair, tropical-colored eyes, menacingly huge teeth like a cross between a shark and a bear. They're also damn aggressive.

The goblins aren't like the traditional warhammer or warcraft ones; more like the ones on Dragon's Dogma, if you know what I mean.
RP Sample: Same as last time.

Now, if I may introduce to you the scythids, an arthropodal bipedal species of hybrids in the Order Inanis(Gaping in latin). Members of the order are noticeable for their respiratory system, which uses lungs instead of... What arthropods use. Meaning, again, that they aren't restricted by oxygen levels as their smaller brethren are.

The scythids are distinguished visibly by their anatomy; two long legs, two mantis-like arms tucked under the body in a pose similar to a praying mantis, and the torso and head, all in an upright anatomy(Imagine those walkers from 9). The older ones get to be forty feet tall, and are used as siege towers by goblins. The younger are used as mounts by richer goblins, while less wealthy use pigs, dogs, and badgers(JK).

The Oni, however, use larger mounts such as elephants and drakes. What's a drake? The dragon's retarded, flightless cousin, about twelve meters long.

The Oni, and to a lesser extent goblins, use game birds, such as hawks and wyrms. Wyrms are, you guessed it, the dragon's stunted and retarded cousin, about four feet long.

The Oni sword is less of a blade and more of an eight-foot slab of sharpened metal that uses sheer weight and force to cut its target. As it's expensive the spiked club is a more common weapon. They don't use bows, as they've never heard of a bow that matched their strength; they use slings, which given their strength are able to propel a stone the size of your fist into your face with the force of a catapult(Metaphorically). They also use throwing spears, axes, hand-mangonels, full mangonels, firepots, etc.(Especially spears)

The Empire of Pretantia wrote:NS Name: The Empire of Pretantia
Society Name: The Iron Domain of the West
Species: Goblin, Jin Oni (Long story)
Claims: from Turkey to Egypt
Population: 300,000 Goblins, 150,000 Jin Oni
*Military Percentage: 20,000 Goblins(Universally conscripted), 20,000 Oni(Universally conscripted too)
Government/Culture: So firstly we have the ruling caste of Oni, who's political system is... Interesting. It is a democracy, but Oni are very obnoxious and rowdy. Thus, there is a law in place that sanctions trial by combat as a valid method of settlement in the council meetings when it's just a one-on-one thing(Battle royales and party gang-ups are forbidden). The Oni also practice an interesting form of universal conscription. Legally-wise, service is voluntary; in practice, however, standard education includes "Group-discipline practice" as it's called by future soft-balls, "drill practice" as it's called by everyone else, or "teaching the little shits some manners for our soldiers" as the Oni call it. While weapons-training is not part of the standard regimen, the Oni's brute strength and tenacity is enough in a pitched battle.

The goblins are there to do what the Oni do not. Farm, mine, dig trenches, storm buildings, that kind of stuff(The poorer Oni do that too sometimes). Goblins are obviously stupid in comparison to the Oni, but they have the loyalty of a dog.
History: So it all began in the far east some one or two millennia ago, from which the Oni and their goblin slaves migrated to the west because reasons. Here they zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz. Oh sorry, it's just there's not much to it.
Other:
So firstly is some explanations:

The Oni are eight feet tall(On average), muscly(Mark Strong strong), red, rough bare skin, neutral-colored hair, tropical-colored eyes, menacingly huge teeth like a cross between a shark and a bear. They're also damn aggressive.

The goblins aren't like the traditional warhammer or warcraft ones; more like the ones on Dragon's Dogma, if you know what I mean.
RP Sample: Same as last time.

Now, if I may introduce to you the scythids, an arthropodal bipedal species of hybrids in the Order Inanis(Gaping in latin). Members of the order are noticeable for their respiratory system, which uses lungs instead of... What arthropods use. Meaning, again, that they aren't restricted by oxygen levels as their smaller brethren are.

The scythids are distinguished visibly by their anatomy; two long legs, two arms tucked under the body in a pose similar to a praying mantis, and the torso and head, all in an upright anatomy(Imagine those walkers from 9). The older ones get to be thirty feet tall, and are used as siege towers by goblins. The younger are used as mounts by richer goblins, while less wealthy use pigs, mutts, and badgers(JK).

The Oni, however, use larger mounts such as elephants and drakes. What's a drake? The dragon's retarded, flightless cousin, about twelve meters long.

The Oni, and to a lesser extent goblins, use game birds, such as hawks and wyrms. Wyrms are, you guessed it, the dragon's stunted and retarded cousin, about four feet long.

The Oni sword is less of a blade and more of an eight-foot slab of sharpened metal that uses weight to cut its target. As it's expensive the spiked club is a more common weapon. They don't use bows, as they've never heard of a bow that matched their strength; they use slings, which given their strength are able to propel a stone the size of your fist into your face with the force of a catapult(Metaphorically). They also use throwing spears, axes, hand-mangonels, full mangonels, firepots, etc.

Accepted. Only because you wrote all the other crap, but you history is crappy.

Also. The op will lead Iron Domain of the EAST
