History of Empires (OOC, Always Open)

[Equalium]

Look at Ethiopia.

Missionaries.

@Dangelia, Looks fine-ish except large navy, try to avoid RL names, and I'm not sure if that is claimed. I gotta go now.

It isn't claimed, most of the Balkans are open, including there. But yeah, fix up everything that is listed above and it should be good to go, Dangelia.

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.

Ha ha, Sievietism shall be the Christianity analogue, just as I planned. I'm waiting for the Second Crusade to wipe out Toraganism...

I thought Sievietism was like Islam ._.

You pretty much forgot everything we agreed on. I thought we stated:

Torganism is gonna be like Christianity
Sievietism is gonna be like Islam
Njordism is gonna be like Judaism.

What ever happened to that? Seriously ._. You are not wiping out Toraganism. Period. I'm serious too.

You even said that Sievietism is gonna be predominatly in EASTERN EUROPE. And you can't even reach PAST WEstern because first of all, Polar CANT REACH YOU. I'M NEARER. I'm pretty sure that the other guy and NPC also convereted to Toraganism. And secondly, you just only BEGUN to spread Sievietism. So don't think your gonna take over Western Europe too.

This is WHY I made Aachen an NPC, So we can have a god fucking damn Jerusalem....

Which I STILL ask, WHY haven't you have any of the Siev priests come to Aachen? ._.

[Great Houses of Xie]

Who made that agreement?

And why are we bothering to make comparisons when they're hardly similar? Torganism is NOTHING like Christianity. Like the others are hardly like the comparisons being made.

[Relikai]

Hmm so if I wanted to make a Christianity-belief within my nation it's impossible now ?

[Lithuanian Empire]

Who made that agreement?

It's not a religion comparison, but religion spread and role in society comparison.

Exactly.

So stay out of it Xie. You don't know what I am talking about. This is not your conflict. Not saying you are right tho.

And apparently, none of you can spell Toraganism right... seriously...

"Torganism is gonna be like Christianity"

Not even you can, apparently, which is the spelling that I used.

There's a lotta talk about missionaries and spreading the various religions. However, what makes those religions appealing? Who would bother adopting them over whatever local religion there may be? Toraganism is another pantheon; if it still uses national personifications, we run into the problems we brought up before and it wouldn't spread, at all.

I'm plowing through the IC and OOC, but I don't see what comprises Sievietism or Njordism (if it's anything like IRL, it's another pantheon). However, unlike Toraganism, Sievietism is being spread at the point of a sword, like Islam. At the moment, Sievietism's spread makes the most sense, compared to other essentially regional pantheons, unless Toraganism's appeal is addressed.

I think that you could create a monotheistic religion focused on redemption by some martyr's death and supposed resurrection.

Well, there's always the fact that the missionaries may be good at talking, and with the lack of local religion except undefined pantheons, it'd may well be better than whatever they already have, and surely, it's gotta be good if these people have come so far just to talk about it, right? It's not like you'll go to hell or be punished for not following the local religion anyway, because it has no doctrine.

If Toraganism is the nationalisty one, then I agree that some explanation is needed.

Brief Description of your nation's History: The Gauletanian Imperial Confederacy began as a small fishing tribe, heavily dependent on the sea life. But there was a desire for
expansion and what we call" hegemony". Then one man by the name of Ragu Silverstone, a philosopher preached for what you may call "unison" and living under a "republic". The man united the Northern tip of Gauelic'a (Gaul/France) under one flag.

Brief Description of your nation's economy: The economy based on entertainment , the sea and agriculture as they are the three booming industries in Gauletania. The richest of Devonnomi work as members of the senate and entertainers. Although the majority of the Devonnomian Republic are farmers and fishers, this is a big help to Gauletania's people as food is considered sacred to the people that follow the Sievetism religion.

Brief Description of your nation's government: The government is an imperial confederacy . Aristocracy rules everything in Gauletania. Many Senate members only care for the people who are in the social hierarchy. There are social hierarchies in place. There is the rich, the poor, the middle class( you can say) and there are all blocked off in different parts of the capital city Callecia.

Brief Description of your nation's populace: As I said before, There are social hierarchies in place. There is the rich, the poor, the middle class( you can say) and there are all blocked off in different parts of the capital city, Callecia. Many people work as farmers or fishermen, those are traditionally jobs for the male. The women take care of the kids, clean, and unlike the Athenians women were allowed to travel anywhere but again the most powerful of women were allowed to vote. The Military is a respected force in Gauletania, the new Chancellor,Imperial Chancellor Oskarr , who was a general , seems to be leading this nation to empire.
