Begin experimenting with using lathes for rifling. Shallow rifling though.

Legit, that's not surrendering, that's literally staying exactly what you are. I don't think you understand.

Then will you please dissolve my nation and make it cease to exist?

Bye bye.

[Regirock]

Hey guys, how do I edit his map so I can show where I wish to expand?

• For the sake of fairness, if players want to hand off assets to a player when resigning, the max that can be gained is 10%.  Territory can only be gained if the land is either adjacent or can be connected over sea routes.  Players can only donate their assets upon resignation twice.
• Do not try to merge nations.  Nations can be vassalized.  Otherwise, list it as a supra-sovereign organization.

Arconian reforms of the military begin, starting with restructuring the military.  The Marshal and Admiralty Courts are formalized and are given power to prosecute criminal activity within the military.  As a result of intensive review, it is found that a good deal of corruption lied within the military, and as a result, many officers were court-marshalled.  Positions are being filled with individuals who have shown a record of integrity within the military.  Etiquette within the Arconian National Armed Forces, previously sloppy and variant, is reformed and codified.

The next reform is based on equipment, which has grown to be outdated and not standardized.  The Arconian military is interested in the Conservatian rifle, rumored to be an improved model.  The Arconian military sends word to Conservatia, wishing to have an explanation of the weapon and a demonstration.  Minister of War Lord Jacques Lespérance wishes to land a contract, hoping to obtain the arms, whether permitted through contracted production or by purchase.

Training in maintaining and repairing weapons becomes mandatory and more intensive.  All current active soldiers are given more rigorous courses and lessons on weapon maintenance.  Additionally, two sub-branches of the military are created, Engineers, those highly educated in weaponry and engineering, and medical, those highly educated in medical practices.  Women are permitted to enlist in the medical branches.

The final reform for this time is an improvement to training regimen, that has grown lax in the last decade.  Soldiers are drilled more intensely.  Officers are educated in military formations and supply management.  A hierarchical command system is being experimented with in order to determine whether a strong chain of command is favorable over absolute command by highest officers present.

Conservatia, seeing this an opportunity to improve relations, sends Arcon five hundred rifles for them to train with and distribute amongst themselves under the pretense that they are not to be sold or distributed to foreign powers, and that recreation of the firearm without express permission will not end well for them. However, they will additionally send some officers over to assist in the drilling and training of their military, to bring it up to Conservatian standards.


With the arrival of another Muslim nation to their south, (assuming they're accepted), an non-aggression pact and trade agreement is offered.

I understand banning me from the game but consider this, I worked hard to establish the nation and although you do not owe it to me, seeing it as it could become open space, which means more for the playerbase to expand, all that would need to be done is clear it, since it's not a NPC state either


Or just change the name of the country and the city names, that would be fine as well.

Off-Topic: Will the OP every make another Nation Forge, except not 100% desert and maybe more plains, forest/mountains?The grand Daimyo invests more in the police-force to lesson crime in the cities of Xeichi, arming police with Matchlock Rifles and Yaris.
Meanwhile, plans are being made to send settlers east and south and to make more factories for the great nation.

statehood and you let me handle your military for the time being

anything less means multiple explosions

Seemingly ignored by the Aseliens, the two diplomats head back to the capitol of Xeichi.
Construction of the Muslim Arch-Church is complete, citizens from all around the Empire come to see the glorious religious marker in Xeichi!

I guess it's just an internet game.

Continue stimulating industrial growth and offer incentive for those of the Old Norse faith to breed.
