Today's yeardate is 571, although it was morning when i made my daily update, so i marked my post update at 567, cause fun unrelated stuffs are gonna happen today :)


But looked it up, yeah it was 570 AD that Muhummad was born apparently, But it was actually around 610 that things start becoming more organized so you guys have some time to sort out whats happening with that.

gah kldfjas atensia interruption

[Swat 3]

Atenisia fully claims the northern island on top of its current one (the one in the isles thing, ja), building another military and commercial port.

[Ladios]

Ru'sh Naal proposes further investment with Atensia at Atlantia to form an Atlantian Trade Bureau to further streamline economic conditions in the region. Similar to previous trade investment models the ATB would function to encourage trade in the city of Atlantia by providing for the merchants and shipbuilders better conditions to conduct business in the town, maintaining a central market and the port of the city.

Where the difference lay between the two would be that the Atlantian Trade Bureau would require only the inital payment per investment allotment. The autonomous Atlantian City Council would determine the expenditure upon voted approval by the investors, the weight of the vote increasing per investment by nation. The investors would see a yearly percentage return on their invested contribution relative to the available funds of the ATB, the funds being being collected on taxation of the merchants and like at the city whom had received approved ACC loans.

As the system was to be overlayed on the already existing Atlantian City governing structure, very little intial investment was expected aside from the starting funds to determine the viability of the project. In order to distribute the burden equally as well as ensure their initial guidance over the market that it may form fluidly, it is proposed that the first 68% of shares be divided among Atensia and Ru'sh Naal, with the remaining 32% available for foreign investment.

Atenisia points at Mr. Crash at the Zesisoter market and considers it in closed door meetings.

Okay what exactly is Atlantia?

[Badger]

Espovon request the main island peacefully joins their empire, they may name terms if they wish and they have full authority over they're own ethnicity and religions In trade for a new port on the north end of the isle for resupplying along the way to other nations. \

(first island to east) (looks three islands conjoined near the center of the world.)

Okay what exactly is Atlantia?

A joint effort by Ru'sh Naal and Atensia to streamline trade through the region with a port used to help trade goods and makes it so people dont have to travel as far to get the same stuff and resupply/repair ships. Everything passes through Atlantia (except Avalonian ships, they are appearantly not too fond of the city from my impression), especially trade from Ru'sh Naal and Atensia.

Ru'sh Naal moderates the waters to ensure there is no piracy in the region, but otherwise the city functions mostly by itself with a slight payout back to Ru'sh Naal and Atensia (although each are collecting their taxes over different measures, so things are not exactly concrete as to who owes what to whom, the ATB aims to fix that, and allow for even more infrastructure in the city as per investment by foreign capitol.)

Okay.  I have one request though.  Can it be treated like an NPC?  At least on the map, it is marked as a full nation, and I would like to reserve nation colors for nations, strictly.

It isn't though; it is a joint territory and should be treated like a joint territory.

if this is for my island

nvm whoops

If there was a way to denote that, perhaps a white border and grayed out or something?
The ATB proposal would also cause the city to function more independently though being able to fund it's own projects provided they weren't too outrageous that we wouldn't agree. (And because it requires only investments when new stocks are created, even a total pullout of investment would come out of the appointed investment reserve funds and the city would still be able to function as long as it didnt inappropriately plan on using some of the investment funds without the investors consent, with the remaining shareholders recieving still payouts of the same amount anually, their payments would not be able to grow however without further investment into the system to allow a surplus fund pool for future projects of course)
So I guess I am kinda proposing to turn it into a city-state of sorts, yes.

[Plethora]

Could use two colors like with Zesisoter way back in the day.
Maybe make it a puppet NPC when ATB comes into full effect.

[Swat 3]

Atenisia is wary of the ATB proposal, because it still wants to keep ownership of it and not have to work with Avalonia if something happens to the other investors.
