On the subject of traditionally Noryeian and Danarji lands
Blue represents formerly Smede land and pink Noryei
In the Year of our Monolith 340, the King Incumbiy't had greatly increased the grip of Danarji power on the mainland. The Duchy of Noryei and the Duchy of Smedan had long been ruled by the Shepard Dynasty, brought into Personal Union in what was called the Union of Kay'mar. By this time, many Smedes and Noryeians thought of themselves as Danarjis; it was the decision of King Incumbiy't to incorporate the Duchies of Smedan and Noryei into Danarji Nation, incorporating the official Duchy of Smedan and Noryei under one banner, the Duchy of Noryei.
Unfortunate for the fledgling Kindom of Danarj-Noryei, the hordes of Fiynic barbarians in the surrounding provinces proved too much for the already over-taxed armed forces. Though the Fiynic Horde eventually withdrew thanks to pressure from more northern tribes, the Fiynics had destroyed much of Smedan and Noryei that it was not considered profitable to re-colonize them, instead focusing on the remaining lands. However, the Fiynics carried with them more than just steel weapons; they carried a strange and mysterious disease. The disease wiped out much of the remaining Danarji lands on the continent, leaving only a handful of small enclaves and leaving half of the Danarj Island an unpopulated ruin. The nation has not yet recovered, all these years later; they still maintain only a tenuous grip on the mainland, and only half of the Island. It is up to the newly-ascended Queen Shepard II to reclaim the lost lands...

The priests moved in rhythm, never taking their eyes off the swirling flames of the campfire. Orange light reflected erratically off their scaled armor, their tridents thumping the ground at timed intervals as their melancholy chants rose from their throats, forming one sound. The sacrifices coward in their cell at the terrifying sight.
"Look at how they cower!" Romulus whispered to his fellow consul, Lucretia. "These barbarians are brave enough to bash in the skull of our messenger. One look at the priests though and they piss themselves in fear."
Lucretia nodded. She tied her red hair into a ponytail. "The messenger wasn't going to kill them." The chants crescendo. Not one of the five priests muttered the same chant. "The priests might."
"Well, that is why we're here." Romulus smiled.
Citizens packed the arena of the Capital. The arena was one of the few public institutions where the low and high mingled to a significant extent. Tonight, quite a number of Atlantis Legionnaires packed the seats. Lucretia said it was fitting that the men who put down the rebels were made to feel a part of the festival. With the rebellion crushed, the leaders had been paraded through the streets of the Capital. Citizens, from the feeble old-men of the libraries to the young daughter of some pleb, hurled abuse and rotten vegetables at the defanged leaders and cheered for the soldiers in scale.
Lucretia knows how to move a crowd, Romulus grudgingly admitted.
Silence still grasped the arena save for the whimpering of the fallen leaders of the rebellion and the rising chants of the priests. The funnel of the rotating flame spun faster and faster until-there! The flames burst, enveloping the priests, but they were unscathed and untouched by the fire now growing white hot.
Soldiers standing by the cages, one by one, pulled the sacrifices from the cage. An officer would read a list of the sacrifice's transgressions, and then sentence him or her to death. Death took the form of two soldiers grabbing the beaten, defeated rebel leadership and tossing them one-by-one into the fire.
The crowds cheered. The rebellion was over, but the Children of Atlantis knew that the war wasn't. All the lights in the sky are stars.
And we need to get the hell out of here and to them! Romulus thought.

Dateline: 33:5:15 GrS
Forgotten Vale, Vale Mountain Range, 14mi West of Solitude
It's been several months since Solitude has been well established. With the knowledge of military walkers, the Republic constructed their own variant of what engineers call a spider tank. The first scouting platoon were dispatched to the snowy mountains to the west of Solitude. President Antilles expected that there would not be any first contact for another few months and figured it would be the best time to scout out the provinces around Solitude.
The first scouting platoon, with their spider tanks, made their trek towards the mountains. The soldiers on the patrol have never encountered anything like it before. Many describe the forested area in the mountain valley as an enchanted wintery forest. They soon coined the region "Forgotten Vale" and the mountain range themselves, the Vale Mountain Range.
Within the Forgotten Vale, Rorikstead is founded with a start of a lumber and mining industry. Rorikstead wasn't alone. Soon Alderaan City was founded on the plains of the Vale Mountain base. The settlers of Alderaan City were part of the refugees that came from the planet of Alderaan. Thus they named their city after the planet of their origin.
President Hanna Antilles have planned to synchronize 34:1:1 GrS with what XONES termed "Turn One" and has preparations to expand the Republic of Solitude's borders and make diplomatic inroads with their neighbors.

Thoughts swished back and forth between the members of the hive, passing knowledge of the new land to the minds best suited to use it.
"High quality iron ore discovered 13 clicks north-north-west of Hive 14."
"Potential site for Hive 17 evaluated prospects good, bring Queen eggs."
"Unknown sentient species encountered, monitoring."
The low-level telepathy of the Hive allowed them to work in unison and collaborate effectively. It allowed researchers separated by hundreds of miles to work on the same theory, instantly weaving each others breakthroughs into their own work. It allowed labourers to perfectly time their actions to minimise unneeded downtime. It allowed soldiers to instantly relay battlefield commands and information back and forth and synchronise attacks - making the Hive a dangerous foe.
But for the moment it was being used to rebuild a displaced civilisation, marooned on distant world. The thoughts flew back and forth carrying information on local resources, neighbouring sentients, potential threats, edible native fauna and more besides. These thoughts formed a rudimentary gestalt intelligence, non-sentient but able to direct those with the right skills to where they were needed most.
The thought these thoughts were forming was "Expand".
OOC: @CivG, no navy in this.
EDIT:
The Hive - 26IP
4 Armies
6 into industry

Greetings citizens to the first broadcast of the Colonial Revolution News!
Will the Socialist Organisation of Democratic Socities forging out we are issued with industrials to set up our great power! This industry will aid the growth of the S.O.D.S. Grand Premier Vosgi Mooshian has issued that this will bring "a iron will to the peoples of this new world. We will lead by example and so how peace can bring victory! Viva la revolution!" We are pleased to declare that Li Chao has been elected as Chariman of the Industrial Committee. He has stated that "we will march to tomarrow, via will of our might. We will make capitalism weep at our proggressive glory."
In additional news the offical United Socialist Army (USA) has been formed by the Military Committe. Grand Marshal Abhay Darzi has declared that:
We will be not be a force to make enemies of. It is wisely said that to seek peace one must prepare for war and I accept the honour of serving our fine socities. As we do our duty to protect the borders and to excort our settlers we will ever become strong. I issue the men and women of the Socialist Organisation of Democratic States to do their bid for the collective community. We are the S.O.D.S. We are a collective of peoples united for the common good. Let us march to the future, NOW!
In relation to this the Socialist Aerial Navy has been set in formation. Grand Admiral Eaden Cummins has issued for the construction of special airships and excort fighter craft for the transportation of a fleet to excort further settlement.
In relation to both of industry and of military I have here the directives set for the Two Year Plan.
We have a total collective sum of 26IP.
We will set 20 IP into industry.
We will set 5 IP into 5 army divisions.
We will set 1 IP into a sky fleet.
In relation to this is a copy of our settlment plans, with numbers set for the prime settlement in each region.
Settlement: Region
1) Neo Frankfurt: Neo Hesse
2) Gramsci : Gramscia
3) Incus : Tumulus
4) New Blaenavon : New Torfaen
5) New Helsinki : New Uusimaa
Finally in relative news our scientists are conducting plans to scan the planet on its enviromental features. It will be leaded in a special research vessel which will be commanded by Doctor Montgomery Shearer, who we have on line now...
Greetings CRI!
So what is the plan Doc?
The University of Neo Paris has issued for a world wide exploration for enviromental and goegrathical observations. My crew and my vessel will be set to outline the world that XENOS is of.
How will you will class the world?
I have a blank map with the key I have ready. I will fill up as the year goes by.
May we see it?
Her youe go!
Thank you doctor... some of these terms are strange...
My colleuge Proffessor Thomas Williams will explain later on.
Ok... welll good luck on your mission!
Good luck to you too!
Well... that is the story of our exploration. In other news...
Edit: due to... unforseen alterations in rules, the orders have been altered. Here are the alterations.

Juuust issuing a GM comment that since no one else is doing ecological maps of the world, I'll consider Ailedhoo's the canon one. :V
Kinich-Ahau
#JustGoomyThings
In light of this, I'm requesting that Ailedhoo not do anything with the light blue territories on this map; I'll be taking care of these myself. No need to thank me.
Conveniently, this map also doubles as a negotiable Sphere of Interest for MerrynCorp
Edit: TFox, would you mind giving us the rough latitudes of the map? I ask because when I set up my environments, I would like for them to make a bit of sense concerning prevailing winds & other such things, rather than using the 'I think this would look nice here' method of biome placement.
