Nenekatae Empire
Capital: Takete (Confluence of Mississippi and Missouri Rivers)
Ruler: Rakko (King) Warbird I
Government: The government of Nenekatae is very simple. It is composed of the Rakko (king/emperor) and the Cukofv-Rakko, which is a council made up of one cukovepikv (council member) from each evpofv (province/are equivalent). The Rakko makes the final decisions on all things, but he can designate certain responsibilities to the Cukofv-Rakko. The Rakko is the all-powerful god-like guy.
Society: The current tribes under Nenekatae rule, the Core, are all citizens of the empire. The Rakko is looked upon as chosen by the gods to bring about greatness in the peoples of the river basins.
UU: Hottihiliswa; this is an upgraded version of a warrior. The men of these units have been trained to die or win. No alternative. They are taken from their homes at the age of 1, and surrender is not in their vocabulary. Literally, they are not taught that word, or the word defeat. The mention of the name is said to put fear into the hearts of the Rakko's enemies.

Description: It is only recently that the great War Chief Warbird has managed to unite the various peoples of the upper Mississippi and lower Missouri into one nation, Nenekatae. Nenekatae was not a formal name given to the new nation by Warbird, but instead it was a name given by the peoples that made up the populace. While the full meaning of the word has been lost to history, most archeological finds suggest that it meant "Warpath." Indeed, this title would prove accurate in the coming years, decades, and centuries. . . The tile "Rakko" is also another archaic word lost to history, and no meaning can be found. Some archaeologists suggest that it could be a fragment of the larger word that meant war chief or leader. Indeed, it was the formal title that Warbird bestowed upon the hereditary leadership of Nenekatae.
*The Military Academy is an attempt by Rakko Warbird to make the training of soldiers better. All the tactics known to Nenekatae will be taught to the students here, and as soon as students leave they would be put in command of a group of soldiers.

Warbird stood on the top of his wooden Fortress. As the cool breeze swept over his bare shoulders, he was reminded of that one incident of near death so many years ago. That time when, still a foolish boy, he had tried to stay under water for ten minuted. He had passed out, and if his friend hadn't decided to come along at that very moment and see hi in the water he would have died before he was capable of great things. And he had accomplished great things in his time. Yes, great things. The evidence, after all, was all around him. The great mounds and buildings of the city continued to rise all around him, nestled in the confluence of the great Mississippi and Missouri. He looked out towards the horizon, already wondering what he could conquer in that direction...

OOC: Alright! So, in case you couldn't figure it our Nenekatae is supposed to be a more centralized and earlier Mississippian culture. All of those words are Creek, a language presumably descended from whatever it was the Mississippians used. Anyway, I hope to have lots of fun participating in this game.
