My point exactly, I'm not sure whether I want to go hang myself at the thought such retardation walks the world or to go find him and hang him to rid the world of it.

A Canal on the scale of the sort you can tell he's planning however would be ala modern Suez canal several centuries early.

Given the LAST debate about India and some of the gems that produced I can hardly be blamed the sheer idea that someone can rationalise a Sinai (suez) canal this early actually made me fall off my chair in shock...

Brief Description of your nation's History:The United Koori Empire was the decnedents of the first mirgrants from Africa, soon many other tribes joined in Australia's mainland and Tasmania. It did not take long for one tribe to have war after anothe tribe after thousands of years of peace and free trade, first it was one tribe raiding the other tribe's women and food. Soone the Koori had one cheiftain that wanted to solve the disputes by uniting the land under the Koori banner. After the Great War of Unification in 1421 came to an end, the United Koori Empire was officaly born under the Cheiftain Amulolaka Dahool.Dahool had allowed the people to have freedom of religion and free trade for a true currency was not made, only a barter system. Now in this episode. The Empire is looking to expand its borders and see if there is anything is over the big blue sea.
Brief Description of your nation's economy:The Empire has no offical currency, but it realies on a barter system based on the quality and quanity of what someone tries to trade, this is used in;dowlies, trying to buy land, trying to become cheiftain or a high ranking postion, and trying to get a tribes blessing in marriage.
Brief Description of your nation's government:The Tribes have a council like system, in which each tribe brings a represenative to the Cheiftain and they will discuss the current matters in the Empire, the tribes are treated like states in this matter, but in a more tribal ray.A cheiftain may challenge the current leader in combat to become the leader, if he succeds, he is ruler and his tribe brings much honor and land, if he fails, the tribe that does rule gets a small amount of land, and most give the cheiftain a women to be a wife. The power structer is very dynamic in this sense that land, wealth,and people are being changing every time.
Brief Description of your nation's populace:People may choose to be whatever they may like to be within the boundaries of the tribe they where born in, but mostly the socail structre has been describe as this

3. Generals, Warband leaders,60 of them
4.Nobles, Man head or influentia families, have minor influence on the Empire, but great influecence in tribes(Minor merchant kings)

Brief Description of your nation's History: The Turkish tribes were forced to emigrate from Central Asia by invading armies, namely the Persians and other Central Asian tribes, and ferried across the Caspian Sea where they stayed in the Caucus region for several years until being expelled by new invading armies. Having been forced, twice, from their homes, the tribes decided to carve a new, permanent homeland for themselves. The tribes swept across Anatolia, push back the locals and the Greek settlers until they had reached the sea.

After several years of securing their new territories, they were unhappy at the insecurity of their borders and decided among themselves that the only way to ensure a safe Turkic nation they would have to expand and create buffer territories. They crossed the seas at the Bosporus and the Black Sea, and pushed into Syria. Happy, for now, with what they had conquered the tribes elected a new Imperial Ruler to reign over their new empire. The influential Bahar family was elected from among the elder families as the new Sultans.

At this point, the Turks began developing their nations infrastructure and encouraged foreign trade. Istanbul - their new capital - became a bustling center of trade in the region and the land became very prosperous.

Brief Description of your nation's economy: Thanks to rich foreign trade, the land has a fairly sized population of skilled workers, but most farms in the land are devoted to wheat production in order to feed the 13 million people. This creates a lack of fruit or vegetable farms, and so these foods must be imported. Tool and arms manufacturing holds a fair portion of the economy.

Brief Description of your nation's government: The Sultan is overall ruler of the Empire, but local emirs have general autonomy besides having to pay their annual taxes and respect Empire-wide laws.

Brief Description of your nation's populace: The vast majority of the land's people are Turkish, who converted to Sunni Islam during their time in the Caucus. There are small populations of Greeks and Christians along the western coastline.

Brief Description of your nation's History: Do I have to use the NPC's History?
Brief Description of your nation's economy: The economy focuses mainly on the pure survival of the nation. One of the biggest focuses in Sparta is of the military, for the fact that there are much bigger surrounding nations, and all males are required to be ready for combat service. Trading in gunpowder, the Spartan Army is very much well equipped, and the navy is also a backbone of the countries' main defense economy. The government also focuses highly on Farming which feeds the hungry stomachs of factory workers and military recruits and officers.
Brief Description of your nation's government: The government of Sparta is supremely ruled by the King. He is the word of the people. But since Sparta is a militaristic nation, if the King is found to be corrupt, that is the case and one of the only cases where the people and military may overthrow him. Examples of corruption are siding with enemy nations betraying the nation's official current religion, siding with rebels, insurrectionists, mercenaries which are all illegal in Sparta. Other examples include gambling, extortion, racketeering and any other illegal activies. The King's advisors of both politics and military strategy or otherwise known as the "King's Court" are made up of 12 politicians each representing one of the 12 major regions of Sparta. Other political advisors and departments are also figured in. The King's Court includes the following:
-King (Overall Ruler, plus Commander in Chief of Army)
-12 Representatives (Voice opinions of people)
-Minister of Treasury
-Minister of Religion (Much like the Pope)
-Minister of Economics
-Minister of Trade
-Minister of Agriculture
-10 Generals
-3 Fleet Masters
-1 Supreme Commander of the Navy (Lower than Chieftain and King)
-3 Field Marshals
-1 Chieftain (Chief of Staff)

Brief Description of your nation's populace:The People of Sparta are a fairly happy, fairly treated people; so long as the government is happy. The military has more respect and dominance than the overall population and Military forces are ALWAYS on duty. Women are considered to be of equal fighting strength of men but common skepticalism says otherwise. Though most women are happy in farming or houskeeping or working in the factories, they are given the option to serve in the military. The Kingdom's populace depends on the military highly to keep it safe. Though there are several groups that want to bring the king down and his military shatter all of the great Kingdom's accomplishments and bring whatever sick type of government that could be better than the overall fair system of the current Kingdom. These groups can consist of Mercenaries, Rebels, or all around Drunks with a few handy guns in hand. The kingdom overall though is happy, enthused, and ready for whatever comes there way.

A few things, there are cultural things I do not understand because I'm not really a wiz about culture and all that. Also, I know we have guns that are like muskets. Obviously the Aquebus was an early type of musket. Are we allowed to have handheld weaponry such as something like a Flintlock Pistol??? Thank you.

I think 1 RL day to 2 or 3 months might be better, since 1 to 1 month makes it so we need 2 months in RL for every 5 years, which seems a little to slow to me.

Brief Description of your nation's History: The Eastern Roman Empire was a product of Diocletian who indirectly founded what first started out as the Eastern Roman Empire in 285 AD. In 324 when Constantine made the new capital Constantinople, thousands of Romans migrated from the Western half of the Empire to the East, easily overcoming the Greek natives and soon becoming more numerous then them, bringing Roman culture and tradition to the New Rome. Despite Emperor Theodosius I's efforts in 365 to make Christianity the official religion of the Empire, it was rejected by the Senate and the Roman pantheon remained intact. However years later, even after the collapse of Rome, under Emperor Hercalius who entirely reformed the Imperial administration and military, the Empire became more accepting of the Christian, Muslim and small Jewish populace. Under the reign of Justinian I the Empire reached the height of it's power, conquering most of the former western Roman empore possesions, however this success was quickly undone by what was later called the Plague of Justinian which wiped out a third of the Empire's population. Maurice, the next Emperor, abandoned the northern frontier and the dream of reclaiming Rome and instead expanded eastward, beating back the age old Arab rivals of the Empire and ultimately defeated Sassanid Persia which resulted in the Empire's complete conquest of Armenia and then subsequently the ancient Orthodox holdings of Aleppo. This however remained to be the extent of the Empire's eastward expansion, internal conflict back in Greece drew most of the Legion's attention, especially in 831 AD when the Orthodox Patriarch declared a Nicean nobleman the Emperor of Rome as the true Caesar, a eight year old boy, slept in the Imperial Palace. A subsequent one hundred year conflict that left the Empire weakened at her borders saw the defeat of European and Greek agressors, namely the Kommenos family, and the restorance of complete Roman control over Nicea and the Greek provinces. In 1350 AD, a man named Galus Octavius Caesar, claimed to be the last surviving male member of the Julian dynasty. A subsequent civil war ensued over between the Emperor and the Julian dynasty and his supporters, a conflict which took the next two and a half decades and was ultimately won by Galus, who was hailed as the next Julius Caesar given the fact the he was descended from him. Since then, the Byzantine Empire has spent her days restoring her borders and strength, preparing for the next conflict with the Persians or Arabian dynasties for control of Anatolia and the gateway to Europe
Brief Description of your nation's economy: The Roman Economy is heavily reliant on trade and is one of the merchant republic's biggest competitors, it's ability to do this fueled by the government's strict control over the Empire's economy. It's export heavy economy and trade in luxury items, such as silk, help keep the government's revenue bloated at millions of soladi a year and are what fund the Legion and the Empire
Brief Description of your nation's government: The Eastern Roman Empire after all these years remained true to her Roman roots. The Caesar presides over the Empire, much like ancient times, but now their powers have been codified so they are more like a all powerful monarch, though they do have certain checks held over them by the Senate. The Senate is of course elected, however you must be a land-owning white male who has held citizenship for fourteen years atleast to run and only land-owning white males may vote, thus making the Patrician class the driving class behind the nation's movements. The Senate is presided over by two Consuls who moderate the Senate and also may fill in for Caesar or act as a regent should the current Caesar be in their minority. The Court systems are handled by the second Consul and are composed of appointed magistrates, whom are appointed by the throne, and serve for life and may not be removed save by Caesar.
Brief Description of your nation's populace: Unlike the Roman Empire of yore, the Eastern Roman Empire's populace is much more so diverse then her forefathers. Instead of being of mostly Lombard or Etruscan descent, the Eastern Roman empire has her culture mostly formed around the Roman ethnicity, however in recent years this has started to erode and give way to the surging numbers of Greeks and Arabs and indeed even the Steppe people, such as the Alans and Serbians are beginning to infuse their culture, traditions and heritage into the evergrowing society of the Roman Empire.
