speaking of resources, lol, this never got replied to
Oh, sorry, my bad. Anglish settlement goes upriver and begins making use of the land. Settlement, at some point, is refused by settlers, as reports of a very influential nation lie upstream. The settlers ask that a fortified military station be put upriver in order to provide protection. Although the Anglish military is present to some degree in the area, a proper garrison and defendable fortress would be preferred.
Entrepreneurs had not yet found gold, but had found the rumored nation upstream. They find that the nation has a gold.
The Natives told us, but they would never tell us how they got in there. And it's not hard to tell if gold might be ruining in the veins of the rocks or not, I have been mining about three or four times now and there are ways to tell by the area's mineral composition. You don't need special equipment as much as knowledge of what to look for.
Anyway, are you going to approve it?
Knowledge of mineral composition and this level of geology is not known to our time. And also, brown townyzing your position in the known world and your population, you would be isolated from much information of the known world. Your nation is almost entirely situated at elevations over 5,000 feet in a place where rain is extremely scarce all year round, so locating the water table would be very hard, much less getting to it. Furthermore, your heightened population of 1.5 million wouldn't really be sustainable, would it? And please stop using the natives as an excuse. It's just a way to bypass rule 1.
However, with what Cypher said, it seems fair to take into account the duration of the settlement. On your nation page, if you haven't done so already, it would make more sense if you elaborated on your history. I can vouch that there are deep water tables, but getting to then is more of a challenge. Silver is fairly available in the area. Gold is available, but is not anywhere near considerable abundant.
I would wish that you would ask me personally, as all other users have done, whether resources are available to you.
And herein lies the problem with not having enough rules on your Nation RP.
Not necessarily. This is minute compared to the problems of the past. Nation RPs operated like this for years, and it's not something that good moderation can't handle.
Tristan, I'll need you to a bit more aggressive with this kind of stuff in the future. Thanks.
The soldiers sing to combat the smashing of shields and the like. Cannons prepare grape shot, and infantry ready their weapons.
The natives charge. Many of them are taken out by the grapeshot, but around 400 reach infantry range. Infantry begins to fire, but are overtaken by a mere 200. Up against the recently-recruited and small army of Namian soldiers, they manage to wipe out 87% of the Namian forces in close combat before being wiped out themselves
Military commanders call for an extreme boost to military size and training in Nami, after suffering major damages which in fair observation could only be called a loss. Many citizens are angry with their government, which seems to make little attempt to protect them.
The explorers from Collineville reach the Sunyong Empire and Romek-Inen. They offer gifts, but also offer trade once Sonodine allows them to pass through and civil strife is solved.
how much are they demanding
declare martial law
They demand that the law to nationalize farms and to redistribute food be repealed indefinitely, and that a law be put in place to allow for unions.
Martial law is enforced, and many rioters resist military police. Hundreds across the nation end up dead as the MPs fire into belligerent crowds.
Romek-Inen finds that a few storehouses in the west have been burned and a few peasants butchered. A partially-burned scrap of the Sonodite flag is found near a burned storehouse.
