History of Empires (OOC, Always Open)

[Neo-Assyrian Empire]

Great! It would be nice if you helped with the Greek/Egyptian crusades, since your nation is closer to those regions.

Also, I'm working on a secondary nation app and an updated app right now, so I should get them up in the next couple hours.

I thought you said Swelind was attacking Njords?

Around 100 A.D

We spit on Siev and promote the power of Eiri Paganism.

Okay, that is it. I'm sorry, Krys, but I'm going to have to make an Anglo-Saxonesque nation in south-west Britain to counter these Irish and Welsh pagans. The Sievietians won't care much about your other nation being there, since they want Pagans to convert to Sievietism before the Njords. (Mostly because the Njords are somewhat "enlightened," unlike the Pagans)

I was planning on making an Anglo-Saxon like nation in south west Britain, but then I'd feel bad for encasing your new nation... :/

No one is in/have been in the Balkans, aside from a couple territories claimed by Turkey.

Also, pertaining to your app, there are no real life religions or cultures (I'm not sure if the ones you listed are real or fictitious, since I don't know much about the Balkans), and the territory you claimed is a bit big for a nation that is just starting off.

What I'm having done is a few principalities united in a kingdom. That's gonna be my first post. You're telling me I can't use anything based off of real life except for the technology of the time?

No real life religions and you can't use real life cultures. You can, however, make a culture that is similar to a real-life one, but not named after one/is exactly like one.

Also, you can expand to that size later on. For nations just starting out, you have to be moderately small, about a third of the territory you claimed in your app.

Can I have a religion similar to Judaism but not Israel-oriented?

Then fight the good fight and destroy the Pagans. Whether or not they are Njords later on can be discussed later (Or resolved in the crusades around 900), but just keep Britain from falling to Brittany and Ireland.

Sure, I guess. Just change names and locations and such and it should be fine. Be warned, however, that Europe is already a battleground for religions and such and that you will likely be attacked by Preusenia (Me) later on during the Crusades... So just be careful if you try to spread your belief.

[Cerelia]

So, what happened here?

Nation Name: Tyver Luz
Capital City: Tyv
Government Type: Confederation of tribes
Head of State: Dyol Turik
Claimed Territory: Whatever can be spared around the Ukraine area.
State/National Religion: Luzan Cult (based predominantly on the Sagas of the North)
Dominant Religion: Luzan Cult
Minority Religion(s): Eastern Animism
Population: One million est.
Military Organization: Tyver Luz maintains a standing army, as well as small outposts surrounding the frontier. Due to the tribal nature of the nation, these soldiers hold loyalty to their Dyol lords as opposed to the state. Divisions of the armed forces range from lord to lord.
Military Size: Apprx. 3% of population
Fleet Size: There is no Tyver Luzan navy.
National Flag: (Put in a spoiler.)
Primary Culture: The Luzan culture is a distinct one in its own, descending from a nomadic people who migrated south from the cold fringes of the north. Centered around the city of Tyv, the tribes that make up Tyver Luz are similar not the same. Linguistically, they are also unique, with their own alphabet, only used rarely and by the upper class for foreign trade and lawmaking.
Accepted Cultures: Culture of the foreign kind is mainly tolerated, though if it comes from too far away (ie. the Far East,) it is estranged and looked upon with wide eyes. The people of Tyver Luz are mainly xenophobic, poor farmers.
Primary Import(s): Fish, iron weapons and tools, occasionally other foodstuffs.
Primary Export(s): Iron, copper ores as well as various types of woodwork, grain
Trade Policy: Trade is not really organized by the state, but the leaders and landowners that run the central confederation are at least involved in trade, if not merchants by birth and inheritance.
Civil Freedoms: Varies from tribe to tribe; most are allowed free range to do as they wish, as long as they maintain loyalty to their villages and tribes.

Brief Description of your nation's History: The Tyver Luz claim ancestry of the northern lands, having migrated to their current fertile soil many generations prior. Minor territory wars were fought between tribes, but after decades of infighting a council of tribal chiefs and lords was declared and housed in Tyv, the cultural capital and home to the powerful Tyveril people. For the past century, a semi-republican state has been held together roughly by a common ethnic bond and a need for protection.
Brief Description of your nation's economy: The populace of Tyver Luz is predominantly rural, producing many heaps of grain for export. Sheppards are less common, and the lack of any nearby ocean has lead to a lack of meat and fish industry. The second most common occupation, miners, keep the ores flowing. These tribesman in turn provide their Dyols with the product, which they export mainly via caravans that run to the west. Money is not exactly scarce; among the lords, that is.
Brief Description of your nation's government: A council is held every month to discuss national affairs, presided over by the lord of Tyv. Loosely bonded by this, very few laws extend among the whole of the country. For the most part, the tribes are independently run.
Brief Description of your nation's populace: Farmers, miners, and woodsmen; the people of Tyver Luz are a hardy kind. They are fiercely loyal to their respectful tribes and their lords, and proud of their heritage as Luzans. Despite this, most of the populace rarely leaves their own village. Those that do are merchants or soldiers, even more indebted to their lords for the privilege of travel. Understandably, the people of Tyver Luz are also xenophobic and like to keep to themselves.

RP Example: Dyol Milo looked upon his fellow Luz; their faces dirty with darkness from the mines. It seemed to seep in through their eyes into their soul, casting a shadow upon their very being. He did not count himself among the optimistic, but he did love his people enough to know this was not the Way of the Luz. Something had to be done, something to drag his people onto their feet, where they may run free, the blood of their enemies on their hands instead of their own. With the blow of a horn, he ended the work day. He could hardly think with the banging of the pickaxes, anyway. Dyo Milo retreated to his longhouse with a grim, but determined look stretched across his long face.

you've got some guts, kid. Ever heard of the Rathrit Empire?

Would it be inflammatory to say I have not?

[Kryskov]

I already did that

What nation are you?

I think I called it Alion. I've combined the stories of Samuel, Moses, and David into one.

[Cerelia]

Oh, wait... The Rathrit are... Ah.

Good thing Turik began to build up our defenses. Long may we stand in opposition to the hordes of the East.

We shall not be moved.

Nation Name:Skernarthon
Capital City:Dunkeran
Government Type:Strong Absolute Monarchy
Head of State:High King Laidiron
Claimed Territory: (Provide a detailed description, or preferred, a map)

State/National Religion:Skernian Paganism
Dominant Religion:Skernian Paganism
Minority Religion(s):Other local polytheisms
Population: (Please keep realistic...)1.1 million
Military Organization:The military is dominated by an elite group of warrior nobles, known as the Drathir. They specialise in filling themselves with bad alcohol and throwing themselves in a berserk rage at enemy lines. Previously forming a large part of the army, these nobles numbers have dwindled, being replaced by more modern troops.
Military Size:55,000
Fleet Size:10 Galleys
National Flag: (Put in a spoiler.) http://imgur.com/DbnOt0I
Primary Culture: (Primary culture/linguistic group)Skernian
Accepted Cultures:Local Celtic Cultures
Primary Import(s):Metals and luxury goods
Primary Export(s):Agrarian materials
Trade Policy: (Free trade, for example.)Trade is unrestricted
Civil Freedoms:The previous tribal freedoms citizens would have enjoyed before the coming of the high king have been cut back harshly. Local autonomy among tribal groups has been eliminated and replaced with a strong central bureaucracy.

Brief Description of your nation's History: The Scottish people had long lived in uncivilised tribal villages and confederation. But this all changed with the coming of the Skernians. A hardy tribe from the frozen North, specialising in excellent military tactics, they speedily conquered neighbouring tribes and established collective rule across the whole of Scotland. Overtime local chiefs removed and the people payed homage directly to the king. The population grew quickly and modern towns and cities were established until the Kingdom of Skernarthon became a major regional power.
Brief Description of your nation's economy:The economy is mostly based on farming and overseas trade is greatly limited.
Brief Description of your nation's government:The High King has absolute power over all affairs of the kingdom, to help him he employs officials chosen from across the kingdom to work in administration and tax collection.
Brief Description of your nation's populace:The people of Skernarthon are roughly broken into two groups, the Skernians that form the noble classes and the local Scots that form the lower and middle classes. Currently tension between the two classes have cooled down but this may change soon.

RP Example: (Not necessary if you were a part of HoM at its end.)HoM 2, HoE (briefly), 900 years of Chaos, The Rebirthed World

I'm curious, anyone here done or doing Alevels atm?

[Equalium]

Equal, your in Hungary, right? Maybe we can set up a trade route?

Sure, but that might take long. Concidering you need to past Tyv in Ukraine, then past the North Caucasian area then ye.

but it depends on what nation you are talking about. I have two. But yes, I am in Hungary. Otveta.

[Equalium]

Polar, you can't be a Siev person. Basically because Toraganism is prominent in the West. Your gonna face alot of trouble with Toraganists if you are a Siev follower. Because basically: Siev is namely eastern and central Europe, and Toraganism is Western and Southwestern Europe.
