What is this?
Welcome to New Anagaea. This Roleplay is a sequel of sorts to this game. The goal of this is for a nation RP with the laid-backness and freedom of older nation RPs but with the fairness of an overall moderator. As of now, there are two moderators. This may change over time once we settle into the groove of things.

Rules and General Information

• Technology may be researched at your discretion. Do not abuse that, however. Moderators will be monitoring all of this.
• If you decide to study and research anything, be as detailed as possible about what it is and how it will affect your nation.
  
• Moderators will decide the outcomes of major decisions based on a system I have created. I would be glad to explain it over PM or some other way of communication.
• Please try to take your current situation seriously before making a decision.
• Everyone starting at the beginning of the game must start with a 20,000 person population. This may grow GRADUALLY over time. Random events will be generated by moderators at random times, or by a decided time as dictated by popular opinion. So don't bitch in the thread if something bad happens to you at a moderators disposal. Bad things are likely to happen to moderator nations as well.
• Do not request random events to be rescheduled or to happen.  They will happen completely at a moderator's discretion.
• Your military must remain at a maximum of 20% of your population for the time being.
• Do not think that just because there is a moderator you are restricted from doing whatever you want. If you feel like doing something, just go ahead and do it. If anything not allowed is done a moderator will spot it out. Feel free to address the moderator's decision IN A PRIVATE MESSAGE.  Do not disturb the roleplay to complain about your woes.
• When fighting, you must wait for your opponent to respond before commencing your next attack.
• Please PM me any major actions you make with NPCs. Also any major military decisions. Do NOT decide your outcome in battle or have NPCs agree/disagree to anything you request. (Added 8/5/14)
  
  You can send the quote(s) to me and I'll respond in the thread.

I have not been happier in forever.
Also, large  peninsula above Erinaum looks like a screeching bird.

Avalonia
Better a Dead Lion than a Live Dog.

Government:
Oligarchy
Avalonian Council consists of fifteen internally appointed members with an internally elected head/spokesman.
Head of state: The Honorable Leopold Schmidt, Chairman of the Avalonian Council
Prominent government members: 14 other people with names.
Capitol city:  Nazgar
Intentions of your government: Expand Avalonia's borders.  Improve relations with neighbors and trading partners to absurd levels.  Expand Avalonia's trading sphere.
Avalonians are an extremely honorable, loyal people.  As such, the Avalonian Council must embody these qualities and does so among its allies, its enemies, its people, and its neighbors.

Avalonian Council:
1 High Priest
4 Military Leaders
3 Economic Leaders
2 Members of Avalonia's Oldest Families
2 Technological Innovators
3 Outstanding & (relatively) Educated Citizens

Foreign relations:
Military Alliances: Call to Arms Agreement - Ormica
Trade partners: Ormica, Espul, Plexia, Varansk, Atensia, Espovon, Albiton, Erinaum, Agoria, Bresini
Organizations: [NOT CURRENTLY AVAILABLE FOR USE]
Collaborating with: None Currently

Demographics:
Model culture: Germanic, Norse, (newly) Britonic
Population: 1,100,00
Official language: Old High German
Other languages: Norse Languages
Demonym: Avalonian
Currency: Approx 1" square Gold and Silver pieces marked with the Avalonian insignia, called Cesk

Many of Avalonia's most honorable citizens are members of the secret society Der Ordnung der Goldenen Löwen (The Order of the Golden Lion), the purpose of which is to maintain honor, peace, security, the enforcement of business contracts, and even freedom in the local Germanic/Norse world, including Ormica, Espul, and Calzone, but mostly in Avalonia where the Order was founded.  The leadership, number of members, and base of operations are classified.  The Order is believed by many to consist mainly of leaders, merchants, and skilled craftsmen, all of which must be considered honorable.  Members may sometimes be identified by a gold thread sewn into their garment or a short dagger meant to allow the carrier to commit Self Delete if his honor was inescapably threatened.  Membership is by invitation only.

Military:
100,000.  Cavalry in iron and leather armor of the lamellar variety.  About 3/5 use composite bows of horn and wood.  The majority of the remainder use fully iron armor and carry scimitar like swords as well as fairly long spears.  Among most units iron has replaced bronze as Avalonian ironmongers have found a way to make iron superior.

15,000 Britonic soldiers armed and organized as regular Avalonian soldiers dedicated specifically to keeping the peace and defending the former Britonic States.  This force ultimately falls under the command of Avalonia.

R&D:
Better Iron Production/Mongering:  Steel production maximized, steel quality above average, research continuing
More Labor Efficient Ships (sails instead of oars):  Done
Horse Armor:  Done
Early Artillery:  Prototypes are done, Better Models completed, research continuing
