God Wills It (OOC/AH/Nation/OPEN)

[Rehs]

NS Name: Rehs
Official Nation Name: Kingdom of Frisia
Unofficial Nation Names: None
Territory: 2 orange areas just North of Belgium
Leader: King Ellert Boomsma
Government Style: Absolute Monarchy
Ethnic Groups: Frisian, Danish, Belgian, German, Norman, Saxon, Anglo-Saxon, Frankish, and Dutch
Religions: Catholic, Judaism, and Islam
Culture: The Frisian culture is heavily influenced by its Danish and German neighbors. While not part of the Holy Roman Empire, Frisians like to consider themselves an Imperial state, even if the HRE doesn't. They have a heavy focus on shipbuilding and culture, due to their Norman and Saxon roots. While not as proficient at trade as the wealthy Italian Republics, they do trade milk and cheeses with their neighbors, since it is their staple product. And last but not least, they are quite cultured for the time period due to the large amount of people in their port cities, but the Monarchy has always been heavily influenced by the Church.
History: Frisia was originally a small tribe of Northmen just North of the Franks' borders. However, Saxons who were travelling to England stopped and mixed with the local population. After several small skirmishes, the Frisians secured their small kingdom against the Danish and Franks. After that, they defended their territory ferociously against raiders, while their merchants traded with the larger realms of the land to secure wealth.

Not entirely sure why you have Muslims in your Country, but that's fine. If you can expand your History just a tad bit (a sentence or two more), you'll be accepted.

All right, I fixed it up.

[Valtrona]

Hey, I would appreciate it if anyone can help find some Georgian military leaders during this time period. You know, other than the king.

I was just going to give you a Rando, but if you can give me like an hour I might find something.

That’s fine, thank you.

(sorry to be complicated)

NS Name: Jade Confederacy
Official Nation Name: Seljuk Empire/Āl-e Seljuq
Unofficial Nation Names: The Great Seljuk/The Turks
Territory: Persia with vessels in the Levant and Anatolia
Leader: Sultan Abu al-Muzaffar Rukn ud-Din Barkyaruq ibn Malikshah (Sultan Barkyaruq)
Government Style: Sultanate
Ethnic Groups: Turks, Persians, Arabs, Kurds, Armenians, Georgians, Greeks, Afghans, and Baluchis
Religions: Sunni Islam, Shia Islam, various Chrisitan denominations, Shamanism, and Buddism
Culture: The Empire is extremely diverse and is dominated by the Persian bureaucracy and Turkish military aristocracy. Persians run most of the day to day civil administration whilst the Turks fill the ranks of the Seljuk's armies, primary as commanders and cavalrymen. Arabs are the next most populous group within the Empire and are primarily found within its Levantine vessels. The foremost scholars, physicians and merchants of the Empire are all Arabs and they occupy a respected stratum within the government. Kurdish and Greeks can also be found in large quantities in the Empire's western domains but they are much less integrated as many within their ranks cling to Shia mysticism and Chrisitan heresy. The Armenian and Afghans that populate the fringes of the Empire are even more independently minded and enjoy high autonomy due to their geographic isolation. Sunni Islam is the state religion of the Empire and all other religious groups must pay Jizzya is they wish to practice their false religions within the Empire's borders. Shiites and Ibaddis are considered heretics and are frequently the victims of programs whenever it becomes politically expedient.

History: The Empire was founded by the House of Seljuk in the early 1000s when the destabilized Abbasid Empire proved a ripe target for conquest. From their tribal lands in Central Asia, Tughril I crushed the Arab armies of the Caliphate and annexed most of Persia to the ascending Empire. Following the conquest of the Persian land, the dynasty heavily intermarried into the local aristocracy and its previous Turkish identity was infused with Persian culture. Their armies eventually pushed in the heartland of the crumbling Abbasid Caliphate and forced the Caliph to recognize Suljuk dominion over the entire region. Alp Arslan continued Tughril's conquests by smashing Byzantine resistance in Anatolia and establishing the Sultanate of Rum as a buffer state between the Christians and his new Sunni domains. Malik Shah, the present Sultan's father, brought the burgeoning Empire to its apex by enforcing vassalage and extracting tribute most of the Empire's neighbors. The capital is moved to Isfahan in the Persian heartland.

The Seljuks are the dominant military and political power within the Middle East. Its armies are vast and able to traverse the Empire with great speed with the help of well-connected road networks. The Sultan and his court travel the Empire most of the year while civil administration is handled by the Grand Vizier at the capital. The Empire's Eastern domains are directly governed by the Sultan's agent but the Empire's Western regions are a patchwork of feudal vassals that recognize Suljuk supremacy but else while retaining a great deal of autonomy. The Empire's central location allows it to tax the trade flowing from India and China, bring forth great wealth as well as political power. Even after half a century, the Empire remains martially orientated with the armies be the primary institution of power.

Is the People's Crusade coming? What about the Antiochian Spring? etc

[The Black Party]

Did anyone actually gain any new territories yet? Has there been any pvp yet?

[Chinniwana]

Is the People's Crusade coming? What about the Antiochian Spring? etc

I'm going to start spawning them with this post. I'm not entirely sure what you mean by the Antiochian Spring; I had never heard of it before, and I can't find anything about it on the Internet.

Did anyone actually gain any new territories yet? Has there been any pvp yet?

Yes, Territory has been gained; I updated the map so that the Fatamids just claimed Jerusalem and Sicily (You) gained Olbia.

You won't lol...its a madeup term...I'm referring to my attempts to stir up revolts among the Antiochian and Melkite Christians of the East. I coined the name for it: the Antiochian Spring
