Hmm. It appears there are no islands on the map in the Ionian Sea, unless you're looking at Malta?

I want to do some expanding, but I don't think it's appropriate until silk becomes popular. You know, being a mercantile nation and all.

APP:
Name of Civilization: The Transoxthraxians.
Location: The Blue in Curonia.
Specialty: Warfare.
Nomad or Settled: Nomadic.
If Nomad trader or raider: Raider. Though sometimes trading is seen as beneficial.
History: The Transoxthraxians are a Caucasian people who speak an isolate, non-Indo European language that has no known relatives, making it very hard for outside communication. However, that being said, it is unknown where the Transoxthraxians originate from. Speculation from (modern) historians seems to point at either the Caucasus or super-early Illyria. Either way, they have no written language, nor a true "alphabet". The Transoxthraxians are known to have migrated into the Baltic in the early 2000s B.C for unknown reasons from a more southern land. From then, they switched from their subsistence farming culture to one of fierce nomadic raiding in an alarmingly short time, and through their migration in Scythian land, they picked up the knowledge of Horseback Riding, which has become a central tenant to Transoxthraxian culture. Now they reside in the Baltic, using a tribal system of native chieftains to govern their land. But language and religious differences have caused the chiefs to prepare for an uprising against their Transoxthraxian lords, and it is unclear how much more time the Transoxthraxians have in their current land.
Culture?: The Transoxthraxian culture revolves around two things: Their military prowess, and their religion. The Transoxthraxian language is a lingual isolate, meaning it is not related to any other language, but rather developed in isolation before expanding throughout a culture. They lack any alphabet, but have a sort of Cuneiform writing that they employ on stone tablets to record the deeds of rulers. Many of these stone tablets then are transferred into obelisks in their land for an in memoriam towards them after they have died. Religion is central in the culture of the Transoxthraxians, and one could even consider them a, on the whole, zealous people. Their religion, which consists of a "Master God", who once had two aspects, Chaos and Good, reigned over the water-less world. When the Chaotic side rebelled against the Good side, the Good side cast him upon the water-less world, and when he hit the world, he hit so hard that his body became the many lakes and oceans. In order to ensure that the Chaotic God never came back, the Master God, now fully Good, created aspects of himself which would guard the waters - These became mountains. In one last gesture of defiance, Humans walked forth from the waves. The Good God was enraged, but could not kill them, because they were made in his image. This created a new aspect of the Good God, which would later become the new Chaos. And every night the Chaos would overtake the Good and make it dark, for he despised humans. But the lakes and mountains protected Humans, for they were the creations of the Real Gods. And when day arose once more, the Good God allowed the Transoxthraxians to once more work upon their fields and tend to their vassals. Furthermore, the Transoxthraxian culture is a highly militant and militarized one. Thusly, military prowess is regarded as a beneficial trait, and the Tribal Leader of the Transoxthraxians usually gains that title for besting all others in combat.

Note: This is more of a reservation in case this closes before I have more time. I just happened to post this now so I could get it out of the way. I will be occupied until the 23rd or 24th of this month.
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.
