Serisian colonization efforts continue eastward, and territory is claimed along the shore up to the eastern border of Milhamiah.
Nami settlers and farmers move out East, and so does the border defense.
Fravath expands south west, covering move of the river.
Done. The territories are now enclosed.
The explorers are given permission to contact home.
The explorers also notice that locals and passersby throughout the city look at them strangely, as though they've never seen someone of their kind before.
The explorers sent home three representatives to Collineville after making a draft map and packing up supplies.
The explorers feel slight discomfort at this, but nonetheless proceed to where their guides are bringing them.
The foreign ambassador and his entourage allow the Arconian party to brew this drink with these strange fragrant beans.
The drink is well liked and a cup is brought to the Emperor himself. He immediately requests a trade route to obtain more of this bean, called "coffee" in their tongue.
To this end, a number of Milhamite ships sitting in dock are refit for trade and ocean journeys to Arcon.
The Arconian party leaves the emperor with another box of beans. Two books are left with the emperor, namely "The Science of Coffee" and "Arconian Culinary Encyclopedia, Vol. 46" (Features coffee and the ways it can be prepared according to Arconian culinary knowledge), in addition to a letter addressed from Prince Önecht himself. In it, he addresses the emperor, hearing of his conquests and praising him on his success. He hopes that our two nations will become close, and hope that he may reguard the honorable emperor as a friend. To finish, he wishes good will and good health upon him.
Swat, do I have underground lakes and how do I access them?
Yes, you have some from limited springs in the mountains, however, it is not sufficient to feed your growing population. As far as how to find them, this is an RP, so take it from there.
The scientists of Izlandia have discovered that the wool of their sheep can be converted compltely in to heat and light Energy in a process more efficient and lasting than fire.
We have yet to find a way to harness this power, but once we do, the possibilities of incredible technologies powered by sheep will be limitless.
We will need more time to research this, expect more rsults in a year or two.
Yes, I've been guilty of pseudo-science in the past, but it's not quite time to explore that yet. I had thought of making this a steampunk fantasy-based thing before I started, but I'm pretty sure that most people would want to continue with nations imitating real life politics, economics, and technology. I'm going to keep it that way unless popular demand overwhelmingly favors fantasy. So as Tristan said, this discovery is voided.
As far as I can tell, the goal of a game without defined rules is to go as far as you can until someone tells you to stop.
Imma keep going until word of God comes down to force me to back down.
You're right, but as I said to Neventii:
[...]you violated rule 1, which also covers "fabricating ludicrous numbers and statistics out of nowhere". I had hoped that this implied more strongly that players could not fabricate circumstances for strategic resources of their own volition, so yes, I am sorry for being unclear, however, clever manipulation of the rules will not go unpunished. Ask and you shall receive; it's not that hard of a concept.
Like, what am I supposed to do besides make up dumb stuff?
Surprisingly, as a moderator, I am happy with and fortunate that some users respond to rule violations and confusion by providing answers. So if you ask a question and two of them are saying the same thing, then it's very likely to be true.
forget THIS WAS SUPPOSED TO BE AN EDIT JESUS CHRIST JUST DUMP ME OFF A BRIDGE

EspovonPower to the Pure

Accepted.
i'll take any leftover christians refugees
Avalonia will accept refugees Christian and non-Christian from the wreck that is Sonodine.
Arcon, which has received a huge influx of 1.8 million refugees, begs nations to choose how they are to be divided up, since Arcon cannot support them alone.
Considering no one has responded.
electricity
No.
First of all the lake would evaporate and sink back into the sand. Second, refer to what I said above. Let's just say you tap into the aquifer and that's that.
I really do need that technology tree, though.
No you don't. Think of any technology and where you currently are, and factcheck it. It's not that hard.
Xeichi EmpireMay our arrows pierce your heart!

Accepted.
Are there any iron veins running through my mountains?
Not anything of note.

That reminds me. Please feel free to make edits or drawings to define your micro-geography and post them to your nation posts. It helps others RP better.
Map update coming in a moment.
