My people, the Prototopians (Nation = Prototopia) would like to occupy an area with the largest river delta on the planet, and with large inland holdings. Please advise.

The River valley in Northland would be for you, then. If you want to be put down there, I will place you down on the next update.

Map Updated.

Next Update:

Change Nation's name at lands end to "Chirondom"
Add New Harumf's nation to the map.

I don't want any land for the group I'll be roleplaying, but if you're gonna list everyone somewhere and their holdings, just put me down as Esternarx Interstellar Inc. (name subject to change if I think of something better), and say they own various private spaceports on and around nearly every planet and also several massive mobile space ports.

OOC:

If you want a planetary base for launching/landing craft and unloading/loading goods on Auglu Darzh where would you want it? BTW, for charting the locations of your international space merchants, you can use the Planetary system charts and the Local Stars Maps until I can think of something better.

Auglu Darzh nation map is updated. I am working on the Legion system, but we're talking about entire planets, moons etc. here, so give me some time. It takes some work and effort to get this stuff done.

In the mean time, get nations to cozy up or hate each other in the Baltas system so we can familiarize ourselves with the playability and while others decide whom/what they want to play as.

IC:

Elaria, the small Nation that bordered the Inland and Typhon sea, observed the watery crossroads between the continents, for those whom relied on cheaper, large, and more fuel efficient sea craft rather than space craft, Elaria could be considered the center of Auglu Darzh. The country fielded some of the largest sea ports in the Baltas system.

A wealthy nation of merchants, and exploiters of anything that could make one rich, Elaria is a country that has little to do with honor and everything to do with marking a good investment, and protecting it at whatever the cost...

Many of its cities reside on the coast, including its capital, Magadria. The sovereign entity itself, was run by no single person, but by a council of nine that held their positions for life. Only after their death would a new councilor be elected by the people to replace him or her that perished.

The time to reach their arms out to the other nations of this world was at hand, and they were more than willing to do so...

To: All nations of Auglu Darzh
From: The Consulate of Elaria

With greetings from Elaria, Jewel of two seas, we offer our most sincere gesture of good will. This coming week, we shall hold a gathering at the Consulate building in our Capitol, Magadria.

Those wishing to establish relations, dialogue and trade with the Elariani's, may attend the meeting to discuss the future of our two peoples. Your representatives will be well cared for, and will have the opportunity to tour the city at their leisure.

We also invite those who represent the Esternarx Interstellar Corporation to attend. Elaria has many goods, supplies and equipment that could be of use to the merchant guilds of the Baltas system, with an agreement, you will find our discounts very ... generous.

I was waiting for your confirmation to see if that area was okay... I'll get on it now.

Will do. As for technology, still working on it. I'd like to have a discussion with you about just that, and a military system. With two superiorly intelligent heads working together rather than just one, we should get something achieved in no time.

OOC:

Map updated. I also updated the "Baltas Planetary System Chart" to include information on each of the planets. Some of the information simply wouldn't be accurate for a true stable planet, but I am not going to go behind my back and factor in hundreds of physical characteristics just for the sole purpose of making an uber-realistic game. The information itself was stripped from the program I used to render the planets and its star system.

If you have any questions on the terminology, just ask. Just remember that a single AU (Astronomical Unit) measurement is *approximately* 149.6 million kilometers/92.9 million miles.

The United Federal Republic of New Quaon

Map

Government
Capital: New Alexandria
Government type: Federal Oligarchy
Governor: Frederick Reinhold
Administrative Divisions: 5 states, two federal districts

The Government of New Quaon is essentially a dictatorship with highly decentralized government. While technically a republic at the most basic level, the state and federal governments are essentially controlled by a small group of families that have dominated colonial Quaonion society since the arrival of the nation’s sleeper ships. These families are almost exclusively merchant families. They control all of the states’ legislative and executive branches. These men are not particularly oppressive, seeking only the accumulation of wealth.

At the technical level, the people of each state elect their state legislature. However, as the executive of the state, referred to as the State Chief, can deny at legislator their seat, the State Chief essentially controls all of his states’ government. The State Chief holds his position for life, and picks his successor. The state governments have virtually unlimited autonomy.

Each State Chief may send one delegate to New Alexandria to choose a Colonial Governor. The Colonial Governor is vested with the power to make all foreign policy decisions, but not much else. If he ever makes a decision contrary to the states’ interests, the State Chief’s representatives can strip him of power.

Demographics

Religious:
Orthodox 40% (recognizing the Patriarch of New Alexandria)
Catholic 15% (traditional, includes Colognian and Genesian)
Catholic Escapists 12% (believe that they have escaped the Second Coming by fleeing Earth)
Jewish 10%
Other Religious 5%
Atheist 18%

Racial:
White (Slavic) 51%
White (non-Slavic) 24%
East Asian 20%
Other Asian (includes Arab) 3%
Other 2%

OOC: Broken link fixed. Try it now.

Duly noted, Q. Will update map to drop Chirondom.

IC:

Security was extremely heavy in Magadria, the massive, lavish Consulate building was draped in the banners of those attending the meeting. It was an event that the Council was looking forward to. It was the perfect opportunity to gain a few potential allies, as well as important trading partners.

Elaria was no military superpower, but their ambition to spread beyond the confines of Auglu Darzh is well known, and no secret. They are excellent navigators, and good pilots, but military conquerers of none. Desertion is common in the Elariani army, and their ability to project decisive power is shaky even at its best.

More militaristic nations are probably forced to wonder how any entity could have ever arisen without being conquered to begin with. But, with fat coffers, it is not entirely implausible to simply bribe any open-minded enemy into submission.

The council kept this on the back of their minds as they gathered in the Assembly Hall, the location where the international meeting was to be held. The room, much like the rest of the entire City, flaunted the extreme wealth of the Nation, with a table lined with Gold, as was the chairs, door frames, and the doorknobs themselves being largely made of Gold. As a final display of power through wealth, a large seal of the Nation sat in the center of the table made of Gold, silver, and precious stones of all ilk, circularly lined with cut obsidian, all glimmered harmoniously in the lights of the room.

The nine councilmen and women took to their seats, and waited for the others to arrive.
