Plethora, moderate pretty please?

ya lets get some NSI in here

Plethora, moderate pretty please?
Only if you add sugar and a cherry on top.

Sjnai's government briefly considers their options and shoot for option C.

IE replies that it bears no ill will toward the Ezbatan States at this point, but will not consign itself to nonaggression.  Trade, however, is welcomed.

How is Marivus turning out?

Atenisia is around 80 percent recovered.

It begins to educate its citizens that coughing on each other isn't healthy.

Farmland overwhich several of the explosions from the festival of Bao occured produce above average crops, causing the Academy of Kai to buy the farm and begin studying the crops in the area. They have theories linking the output to the fact that the fireworks were made out of feces from the bats at the same cave that the stones were being hauled out of for the walls around the north, which had also produced increased crop output in the region.

Processes begin of mixing some of the firework powder with mulch and other materials to apply to the soil with the crop begins at this state-owned farm.

Marivus's wild years came to a close when the revolution ended.  I don't know who's in charge there now, but the nation is in the HN.


With things running smoothly in Avalonia, Ormica's leader is invited to a feast.

I meant South Calzone, but anywho, Marivus is sent a diplomat in hopes we can improve relations.

In South Calzone faction forces are still moving around and generally avoiding conflict.  The general populace isn't happy about the invasion.  Cassian armies have been faced with limited guerrilla warfare from radical doctrinally Cassian zealots who don't identify with the Cassian Catholic Church, and from Dreibetungist and secular factions vying for power.  Many smaller factions have condensed into large but decentralized groups, and others have fled to unaffiliated territory and become bandits, especially along the Argent-Dabo Road.  The factions, as a whole are more focused on repelling the HN than infighting, but there is still quite a bit of it.  Conversions have been low, as former Avalonian rule and the disliked Cassian former dictator left a legacy unfavorable to the Cassian faith.  Politically, HN armies have had difficulty instilling influence that lasts longer than the presence of garrisons and has faced resistance to the collection of taxes and the passing of various laws designed to restore law and order.

In short, it's somewhere between what Syria was before ISIL rose to prominence and WWII occupied France, except that organized resistance is far more passive than in either of those cases.

you think you'd wait for more stability before expanding

who needs stability when you have ULTRA REVOLTING NUMEROUS STATES WITH NO CENTRAL POWER

Atenisia has no revolting states.

Work has continued for many years along the borders to the north and west of the nation, but towards the east, the *Titchwahk* province still remains unconnected to the main empire by means of the defensive perimeter.

The situation arises from the area in question, long untouched by the Ru'sh Naal empire due to it's importance to the migratory natives of that region being able to have access to the ocean, particularly with the recent period of global cooling causing greater concentrations of natives around the gulf, where the temperatures have been more stable.

It is proposed that the wall have checkpoints to allow the natives ease of access as long as it is determined they are not carrying illegal contraband or excessive weaponry. It is guaranteed by the Rustuffes that the wall would be nothing but beneficial to the natives as it would also protect them from neighboring marauding tribes.

Representatives are sent to the native tribes in the region (Moderators if you will?) to determine the response of the native populace at the placement of the wall through the region:

*EDIT* I was updating my local township map and noticed I miswrote this post (saying it was the kastwata province)

Most natives are firmly opposed to the idea, mostly because they do not believe that the Rustuffes have any authority to build a wall on their land or regulate the passage through it and what they can bring through their lands.  On a more practical note, there has never been much intertribal violence in the area, and few believe that Rustuffes building a wall will do anything more than curtail freedoms.  Many see it as a Rustuffe power grab.

A few native groups see the wall as a chance for their own power grabbing and lend it their support.
