stNANES2: Simple Stories

stNANES2:
Welcome to stNANES2. This is

Rules:
This is a storytelling NES. This means that the NES flows in the form of stories told by the players. To play, simply create a nation and start writing orders and stories. Note: If the whole world is filled or almost filled, pick an existing NPC nation. If there are no NPC nations left, then you can call for a revolution and create a new nation out of an existing one.

Your imagination is the boundaries in this NES. You can do anythng that could happen in the time period in the real world. You can build great projects, defense networks, basically anything that applies to the time period. However, they must follow the six simple concepts to understand in this NES: Military, Age, Economy, Living Standards, Traits, Culture.

Military:
Your military size is dependent on your economy. Here are the military sizes and what size economies can support them:
Tiny-Depression
Very Small- Recession
Small-Breaking Even
Large- Prosperous
Very Large- Booming
Imperial- World-Leading

Economy
Your economy determines what your military size will be and how fast you get big projects done. Your economy is determined by your living standards and international trade. In addition, if you persistently put upgrade economy into your build orders, it will upgrade. Also, big projects may improve your economy the economy sizes are:
World Leading
Booming
Prosperous
Breaking Even
Recession
Depression

Age
Determines what Scientific Age you are in. The Age determines what kind of projects you can do and how technologically advanced your military is. Here are the ages and what kind of units are in them(C stands for current age):

Stone Age: Men with clubs and stone axes; canoes, rafts seafaring limited to rivers and lakes
Bronze Age: Spearmen, archers; triremes, seafaring limited to bays, coasts and small seas
CIron Age: Swordsmen, chariots, archers; fire ships, seafaring limited to most seas Trans Pacific Crossing from Kamchatka to Alaska possible
Classical Age: Swordsmen, bowmen, horsemen; fire ships, galleys, seafaring is limited to all seas
Dark Ages: Swordsmen, longbowmen, horsemen, catapults; heavy galleys, seafaring limited to all seas plus Transatlantic crossings via Greenland are possible
Middle Ages: Knights, Crossbowmen, Pikemen, trebuchets; caravels (no cannon), seafaring the same
Renaissance: Arbeques, cannon, pikemen; caravels (cannon), Trans-Atlantic crossing possible
Gunpowder Age: Musketmen, cannon, cavalry; galleons, frigates, all water navigable
Industrial Age: Riflemen, Early Machine Guns, cannon, cavalry; ironclads, steamboats, railroads; battle baloons
Early Modern Age: Riflemen, trench warfare, early artillery, poison gas, machine guns, early tanks; early battleships, destroyers, submarines; biplanes, airships
Middle Modern Age: Infantry, paratroopers, marines, panzers, artillery; battleships, destroyers, submarines, early carriers; prop fighters, prop bombers, early jets (later on in age), early nuclear bombs

Digital Age:Clone warriors, space cities and combat, hovercraft of all sorts, advanced medicine

Living Standards
The living standards is dependent on your culture, overall sucess of your nation, and how much care you take of your people. The living standards are rated 1st through 5th world

Culture
Culture is determined by how many temples, libraries, and other cultural improvements you build. Culture can also be boosted by great projects. Sizes:
World Leading
Excellent
Good
Average
Poor
Bad
None

Traits
These are based on the Civ 3 traits, each nation gets two:

Militaristic: Military is more likely to win victories, you can go one size above the economic level required.

Religious: People more immune to propoganda, citizens under enemy control are more likely to revolt.

Industrious: Projects are completed quicker, military is upgraded faster

Scientific: Discovers new ages faster, gets one free age advance throughout the game.

Commercial: Nation cannot have Depression economic level, NPC nations more likely to trade with you

Expantionist: Enemy people less likely to revolt under your rule, nation expands faster and makes more gains in fights.

Upgrading/building Projects
Your nation can upgrade something if it has been put in the orders for three turns. (two turns for Industrious nation's military). You gett one free upgrade at the beginning of each age and they cannot be saved for later.
A great project can be constructed in two to ten turns depending on the size. You must include building the project every turn in your orders.

President Lincoln/UKNemesis

Living Standards: 3rd World
Starting Position: Washington DC


President Lincoln walked out to meet his new Senate of tribal chiefs, from which he had been elected.

They were to form a capital for the new nation at this little area, and they were going to call it Washington, after the great man who had united the tribes before being killed in a scuffle between two of them.

The clan who had killed him were now all dead, victims of the new nation's revenge, and Lincoln had vowed such murder would never again happen in this nation.

They were already sending people off to begin the second settlement of this nation, and it was to be called New York, old York being one of the tribal villages that was being incorporated into Washington.

The first order of his new leadership was to order the army to begin upgrading to small to allow it to defend the new settlement too, and then to begin upgrading living conditions of the tribes as part of buildings these two great villages.

He decided a church, a place of worship, would be built in each as part of the upgrading of living standards and of the new nation's culture and religion. The overall affect would improve the economy, something he desperately needed and wanted.

Orders

Begin upgrading the army to small.

Expand and build New York in addition to Washington.

Churches are to be built in both villages as part of the move to improve living standards and culture, which eventually should mean an improvement to our economy, which has also been ordered to try and find a way to improve.

Living Standards: 3rd World
Starting Position: MET (Metz, Lorraine)

OOC: Will you decide battles, or should we?

(Note, all the story-telling parts from me (expect when specified) are exerpts from Burgundian Chronicles.)

"In year 6000 BC, as the Frost Demons (I know, I know...) retreat and brave Human tribes undo their frozen magic (read: Ice Age ends.), the unity ends and the tribes scatter on the free Earth. Some of the tribes were known as Burgundians. They invented uses for Stone, beginning the Stone Age. Later, in 4,000 BC, in the middle or the end of the Stone Age, the Burgundian tribes united under a visionary leader - Carloman Germanius. He created the Tribal Confederation of Burgundy, which marched with him from Bavaria to Lorraine, where they built to seetlements - Metz and Dijon. Later to control the River Rhine, the Canoe fleet was assembled, while to guard Lorraine, the ground armies were put in."

But that was prologue.

Now:

"Years went by, and Burgundians decided to expand to River Seine in the west, and the coast in the north."

Orders:
- Expand to BEL (Netherlands), ROU (Normandy) and PAR (Paris).
- Try to improve Economy.

OK, here comes my story. I had to hurry last time.

Cheif Erik Eriksson look at the frozen settlement he now was lord over. Could this really be all his father had left him? A village of about threescore people, a charm that showed his leadership over the people, and a blessing that was supposed to give him immortality.
"Men," he shouted, "To work! We have a country to create. We are shrouded in cold lands, but we will work to improve them and discover ways to remove the ice!"
All the men cheered.
And thus did the Scientific and Industrious nation of Vikingland arise.

Orders:
Send a settling party, 1/3rd of army, 2/3ds of navy, to Denmark. I can get there, can't I?
Send 1/6th of army due east
Send 1/3rd of navy and 1/2 of army northwards to claim...more ice.
