Here will be discussed the OOC for this thread.
I will tell you right off the bat that Tahar Sevas is a puppet of mine. You are welcome to join the thread for any of several purposes, including attempting to further your own nations' ambitions in Tahar Joblis, creating another splinter state, et cetera. If you wish to learn anything about Tahar Joblis, I will be delighted to answer any questions.
For the moment, the thread is open - and by open, I mean "don't be a dick, but feel free to come in."
The isle of Seva is discussed a little bit here. Ibn Ahadan was a pirate of sorts, so the Sevan declaration can be considered reasonably alarming. By the standards of Tahar Joblis, the Tahar Sevas local autonomous council are hard right-wing capitalist militants (by which you can see they've landed in the NS category of "inoffensive centrist democracy.") I've made a separate puppet in order to help display the policy differences more clearly, so you can see how the Sevans are deciding issues differently. The Armed Republic of Tahar Sevas is likely to re-legalize privateering (hopefully I can get that issue quickly).
I've also created another puppet that will show up shortly in the thread for contrast purposes, the Holy Empire of Jo Ibilis Regnant, which will be located inland in Tahar Joblis and be ruled by someone claiming to be the Octopus Emperor Reborn. Theocracy might be a little tricky for me to manage.
