At long last, our journey through Vinland come to a close, as we set foot once again in the cold, rich waters of the North Atlantic Ocean...
Markland
On the stormy northeast edge of Vinland lies the landsdel of Markland. Nearly as old as Nya Sverige itself, Markland boats a proud and ancient naval culture. Surprisingly isolated given its geographic proximity to the core cities of Vinland, Markland has developed a unique and colourful maritime culture, built off of the highs and lows, the triumph and tragedy of the fishing industry. The sea is the lifeblood of the Marklanders, who have lived for centuries off of the riches hidden beneath their coastal waters. Cod, Capelin, Mackerel, Herring, Halibut, Lobster... these are just a few of the species that abound in these bounteous waters. While grand fishing fleets trawl the seas, some of the largest fish plants on earth receive these catches, processing them for export to the rest of the world. Norraviken is the major city and capital of the landsdel, hosting some fifty thousand permanent residents, swelling and shrinking dramatically throughout the year as migrant labourers come and go with the changing seasons. While its status as a major fishing port is indisputable, Norraviken is perhaps even more famous for its long relationship with the whaling industry. While fisheries have provided subsistence, whaling has brought wealth and prosperity to Markland, though declining catches are beginning to generate a nascent sense of environmental awareness, and the need to limit these hunts, lest Markland repeat the folly of ‘killing the goose that laid the golden egg’.

Journey in Pontus:
Inspired by the Americans, and because we wanted to show to the world the beauty of Pontus, we will write this guide about Pontus:
Pontus, a Greek word meaning "sea," generally taken in the ancient world to refer to the Black Sea, Pontos Euxeinos, or Axeinos (Strabo 1.2.10 C21). It also came to be applied more specifically to the Hellenistic kingdom of the Mithradatid rulers that emerged in northern Asia Minor at the end of the 4th century BCE. It was revived in 1904 when, after a revolution against the Romans, the Pontians declared their Independence.
Pontus is a mix of Greek and Turkish cultures, where Mithradates and Alexander the Great meet with great Turkish Rulers, as Orhan, the founder of the Ottomans.
Geographically, Pontus is ivided into two distinct parts—a narrow, coastal strip, and a mountainous, inland region interspersed with fertile river valleys and separated from the sea by the Pontic Alps, which runs parallel and close to the coast and which limited routes of communications between the two zones in Ancient Times. Strabo, a native of the inland town of Amaseia, gives us valuable information about the region. Greek colonies dominated the coast, most importantly Sinope, the best harbor on the south shore of the Black Sea, which planted its own colonies at Cotyora, Cerasus, and Trapezus. Stamped amphora handles demonstrate the extensive trading links of the coastal cities both with other Black Sea settlements and with the Aegean world. The kingdom was rich in natural resources: a valuable tunny-fishing industry; abundant supplies of wood for shipbuilding; cattle, horses, grains, and fruits in the particularly fertile plain of Themiscyra to the east of Amisus; famous mineral resources in the Paryadres mountains south of Pharnaceia; vines, olives, and other agricultural produce inland at the confluence of the Iris and Lycus rivers in the plain of Phanaroea, the best part of Pontus according to Strabo (12.3.30 C556).

The flags of the landsdelar have almost been chosen! If you want to vote for one of the other options, today is your last chance. You can see the other flags by clicking on the links to each landsdel a few posts above.
Nya Sverige, design 3 narrowly defeated design 1.
Dammark, design 1 received 2 votes, the rest received none.
Västermark, an exact 4-4 tie currently broken by consulting people on IRC.
Haroldstad received overwhelming support for option one, as the other two proposals were either hard to draw or hard on the eyes.
Adlö, where the checkered design beat the 'Vasa barber-pole on a field of white' design by a broad margin.
Norrland, where I only made one design, and liked it so much that I didn't make anything else... then had the UPRA co-opt Ursa Major as their symbol as well.
Helluland, where option 2 narrowly leads option 1.
Markland, which is still undecided, but proposal 3 currently leads.
Also, for fun, here's another last-minute proposal for Haroldstad, based on one of the designs that I lost when my computer crashed. I also had a few 'wavy line' designs for Markland's flag, but they inevitably ended up making the map look like it had been crocheted.

America's Dictator
People of Jacksonia! These times are turbulent, but we will remain strong!
When we first won our independence from the dictatorship that was the United States of America, times were bleak. Our hopes for survival as a nation looked grim at best, and a devastating war with Colorado seemed to be the signature on our death certificate. But we stayed strong! We fought for our homeland, our nation! And now look where we are: a great nation, one of the premier powers of the Pacific. Our alliance with Japan and Florida have only consolidated our strength!
In the years to come, I will focus on peace. I will try to build up our economy, to be diplomatic. But we must not become complacent! We will not let the menace that is the Second Republic threaten our livelihood again. For to have peace one must prepare for war. We will of course not declare war, but there is no assurance that the Second Republic will follow suit.
Thank you.
OOC: Are orders sent by PM? I can finally send those.
