History: The history of The City can be traced back to the pre-war San Fransisco 49ers. In the days after the apocalypse, with the city's government having fled the city, the team of the 49ers took charge as the only force with any popular support left in the city. The 49ers quickly monopolised distribution of supplies within the city and established their control over the city. As things settled down, The City, as San Francisco became known, was confused with another City which was a major pre-war financial center, and furthermore supplies began to run low within The City.

Forced by necessity, The City began to trade with outlying communities and roving tribes, selling the vast quantities of pre-Collapse materials from the city in exchange for food. The City soon discovered that trade was quite profitable, and inspired by the pre-Collapse City, morphed The City into a neutral market ground from where anyone could buy or sell under the watchful eye of the 49ers, the City's security force and owners while sending out caravans, referred to as 'coaches', to trade with more distant groups and to find more sources of things to sell in The City. The City has also recently begun using its small fleet of boats to trade up and down the coasts. The boats are normally used to travel across San Francisco Bay, as The City is inaccessible by land bar two fortified bridges to the north and east due to the heavily-armed 'helmet-men' to the south.

Culture: The City is a melting pot of sorts, where tribals and other factions meet to trade with each other and the 49ers in The City itself. The City doesn't care for religion or ideology, and indeed has little in the way of proper law unless it could interfere with the trade that flows through The City or the 49ers control of the city, in which case the law comes down like a sledgehammer on the offending party. Ultimately, culture in The City is based around trade and the deal, and ensuring that these are as fair as possible (unless you're dealing with the 49ers, in which case no laws apply to them.)

There's a trading company in Oregon, now one in San Francisco, and my company in LA.

I'd also like to point out that San Francisco has a Government Remnant in it already Luna.

The thing is we don't have enough players to fully fill out the map so instead we have groups bunching up which is unrealistic.

Nationstates Name: South Mauristan
Faction Name: The Metallüm Clan
Faction Type: Bandit Clan
Flag: (Image)
Governing Ideology: Hessenism (see culture and history)
Leader: Edward Fredriksen, Guardian of Metal, Prophet of the Atlas
Territorial Claims: Sweetwater, Wyoming
Population: 1000

Technology Level: Middle Ages and Post Collapse

History: I've included the culture according to prophecy midway through my culture. However I will detail the factual history here. In 1952 Henry Riggenstein awoke from a coma he had been induced into after serving in the US military in 1944. When he returned to this world the place he had once called home had changed beyond all recognition, but so had he. In the years he had been in the coma he had been visited 10 times by Hecate and Dyonisis, the messenger of the Gods of Metal. Had he been brought back to the normal world, he would have brushed away these illusions he had experienced while no in this world, however the annihilation of his entire previous life was a sign to him. A sign that it was true, all he had been taught during his time "away" had been true. The messengers had taught him of the secrets of metal, the prophecies and the he had been chosen to spread the word of the Metal Gods across the wasteland. They said that the world had been destroyed by its own selfishness, materialism and greed, and that as a result the advent of the "glory of the metal" was fast approaching. After this he set of and formed a cult known as the Hecate Clan, named after the messenger but after more time spent meditating and reflecting he came back with a fuller prophecy and renamed the clan the Metallüm Clan, with the customary metal umlaut, a key part of the Atlas prophecy. The clan gained a following rapidly and soon claimed dominance over all of Orange county, seemingly unopposed. The clan roamed the plains of Southern California pillaging small villages, settlements and tribes but now the leadership of the clan is looking to spread the influence and prophecies of metal further afield.

Culture: Hessenism is the overall culture, religion, ideology and way of life of the Metallüm Clan. The basis of Hessenism is founded in the Book of Atlas. The first chapters of Atlas describe the roles, structure and responsibilities of and within the clan. At the top of the clan is the Guardian of Metal, the clan leader. The Guardian of Metal is chosen by the previous Guardian of Metal and is not a hegemonic role. The Guardian is the ultimate decision maker in the clan and has absolute power, for he is the incarnation of the Gods of Metal and what he does is what they want. Next in command is the Master of Justice. The Master of Justice is the head judge of the Clan Court, and is responsible for punishing and rewarding those in the clan accordingly. The Master of Justice is the one member of the Clan who can order the execution, exile or punishment of the Guardian of Metal, but only in accordance with the Book of Atlas. Next in the chain of command is the Iron Lörd, who is the leader of the Metal Militia, the army of the Metallüm Clan. The Iron Lörd has a key role in the council of Metallüm and also holds full responsibility alongside the Guardian of Metal for the Metal Militia. Then we have the Peoples Lord; the representative and leader of the non-armed members of the clan. Holding a vital role in the council of Metallüm, the Peoples Lord is responsible for managing the wellbeing of the population and also co-ordinating the people to ensure the success of the clan however possible. After the People Lords we have last, but not least, the Forger of Light. The Forger of Light, or Light Forger is the spiritual leader of the clan. The Light Forger speaks with the Metal Gods, write prophecies, gives advice to the Guardian of Metal and even serves in the Metal Militia. After this main group of leaders the rest of the council is made up of various members of the clan. These include people who have proven themselves worthy in terms of loyalty, bravery, determination, selflessness and chivalry in the name of the clan. The Atlas also describes the different roles in the clan. These include farmers, miners, soldiers of the Militia and troops of the land. Troops of the land serve a variety of roles depending on the needs of the clan from metal worker to band roadie. People are free to choose a trade to undertake upon joining the clan and children are given a role by the Forger of Light, in accordance with the Metal Gods. The first few chapters also lays out the responsibilities of the clan outside of the community and as a force in the wider world. It claims that the clan should spread the prophecies given by the Metal Gods and the prophecies held within the Atlas, whatever the cost. Also, it is the job of the clan to spread the sound of Metal, more on this later. Deeper into the book we learn about the origins of clan and its culture. According to the Book of Atlas, before time began as humans knew it titans roamed the Earth and were ruled over by the Gods of Metal and the titans were forced to do there bidding. Everyday they slaved away forging beautiful metal instruments that would then be used to play Heavy Metal music to the Gods above. This process continued daily for nearly 40 millennia, until one day the titans rose up, ascended to the "immetal (immortal) realm" and captured the 10 Gods of Metal, setting them in stone forever. Unfortunately for the Metal Titans, when the Gods of Metal where gone there was no force to keep balance and order in the metal realm and so everything exploded causing the "Big Bang". Fast forward like forever pretty much to 1945. The world has just been destroyed and the Metal Gods are awoken for the first time in like forever pretty much. They select a worthy champion of there cause, Henry Riggenstein, and told him of the great prophecies of Metal. Over the next 100 years the Gods of Metal continued to guide the member of the Metallüm Clan and teach them the ways of metal, laying out the 6 tenants of Metal. The first tenet of Metal is; never dishonour the Gods of Metal or their prophecies, to do so is to invoke the wrath of the Metal Titans. Number two, never betray a fellow member of the Metallüm Clan, to do so is to invoke the wrath of the Metal Titans. Number three, never kill women or children in the name of the clan or in the name of Metal, to do so is to invoke the wrath of the Metal Titans. Number four, never disrespect the art of Metal in all its forms, to do so is to invoke the wrath of the Metal Titans. Number five, never divulge the secrets and teachings of Metal to someone who is not a member of the Metallüm Clan, to do so is to invoke the wrath of the Metal Titans. And finally, tenet number six of Metal is; slay and destroy all posers, and pretenders of Metal, to do so is to please the almighty Gods of Metal. Now moving onto the various arts of metal in the clan. The first is Metal music, in its finest variations. Metal music was first conceived by the Forger of Light as a gift from Hecate. Metal music is constantly played and enjoyed throughout the clan by all members as it is a key part of their lifestyle. It is also the rally cry and significant part of the Metal Militia. It is also a vital responsibility of the Metallüm Clan to spread Metal music across the continent for all to enjoy. The other form of metal art in the clan is that of metal working and forgery. An equally key part of the clan, metal working is used in almost every aspect of the working lifestyle, from making tools for framework, to weapons and instruments, to houses for the clan members. The final chapter of the Book of Atlas is dedicated to Metal scriptures and musical compositions that are regularly performed by the clans many Metal bands and ensembles. I think this should pretty much sum up the kind of Bandit Clan this is. I kind of enjoyed creating this, it seems cool.

Permit me to observe that you'll likely get shitstomped in such a case that they actually decide to leave their bunkers. And unless the Golden Gate bridge is still standing you don't have anywhere to go...

That's what the boats are for, or the Oakland Bay Bridge. Besides, they won't come out of their bunkers. Right? ...Right?

Ultimately how hostile they are and their behaviour is up to the OP but they wouldn't be there if they planned to sit there forever. I think the idea is that overtime the government remnants will try to expand and retake the continent.

Then we'll fight and probably die but hey, fun.

Let us hope it stays that way.

[Apror]

We have a policy of attacking bandit clans, killing the men, and assimilate the women and children. We could send you some of the women, but we feel ethnically challenged in this trade. We do have lots of fish however for trading, and our farms do good jobs.

Would be more then happy to take any extra women and children, instead of actually indoctrinating them like a certain clan of barbarians (this coming from an actual tribe of Indians) we'd give them a safe place to stay and not be in fear of death.

Speaking of which, I want to do a religion app, but it would be multiple hours of researching the multiple different Apache, Comanche, Navajo, and pueblo tribes and i just don't have time for that.

Anasazi religion: Step 1: Put on headdress. Step 2: Partake in sacred herb (Peyote) Step 3: Dance around fire and chant to the spirits. Step 4: Repeat until war is over/it rains/it stops raining/famine is gone/famine has struck enemies.

Black man's burden bro. Besides, I as talking about Bandits! People who make a living robbing people! I for the most part leave Natives alone if they choose not to communicate with us. Only when they attack us do we retaliate.

For all our sakes, let's not wake the sleeping Giant. I might be the exception, considering I would have stretched through all of Texas before I get to the closet Rememant.

Well, being far from them might not be a good thing as if they clobber all of us, you'll be next, and you won't have a hope in hell of stopping them.

[Apror]

By the way, you're civil tribe, I assume we don't have to worry about unnecessary aggression, which we deal with quite a bit of.

Meh, im happy with the clay I have now.

Though, I sense prying eyes.

Then don't get stomped. Don't aggravate them. If that were the case, we'd assimilate into the New Government, if possible. If not, we'll have a Navy where we can evacuate our population.

I'm rather interested as to why you would intervene if such a thing happened.

We believe in the well treatment of all peoples, mercy is a value, and slavery and torture are immoral. We'd only intervene if we're in close proximity. It's a way that says if you can't treat your people well, how can you be trusted to treat us well.

I don't think they'll do assimilation. They'll just crush all opposition.

Ah, I see, and I respect that view. Now I can say I won't treat my people like this, but I can not say the same for those who wish harm upon the tribe...
