Here is the last turn chat thread.
A short history of Phoenatica
Since we hope to get into the habit of having turn summaries I thought it would be appropriate to start this thread off with a short history of our country's first five thousand years.
Our first city, Fox Nest, was founded about 5,000 years ago. As our population grew we sent settlers out to colonize the surrounding area. The great sea was to the west and south was very hilly. There were mountains to the north and the sea as well so our settlers looked to the east. There were fine lands in that direction but they were settled by the Americans.
We had warriors scouting the outlying areas in those days and they discovered many other countries. Some of these countries thought Phoenatica was weak. One, Babylon, even threatened our leaders and demanded maps of Phoenatica. Our leaders wisely refused, knowing that surrendering our maps might lead to invasion. The rebuff enraged the Babylonian King who declared war on Phoenatica. The Babylonian King bribed another country to join the war against Phoenatica and this country bribed another and so on until Phoenatica stood alone against the Domino Alliance.
Most of the early fighting in the Domino Wars was in America as our mighty immotals set out to defend Phoenatica. Soon, a great leader, Charis, formed an army of immortals which conquered America and Egypt as well.
During the Domino Wars our country began a great project in Fox Nest. A Great Library that was meant to store the knowledge of the entire world. Despite the wars, the Great Library was completed bringing much knowledge to Phoenatica through the ages.
Once the Domino Wars ended, Phoenaticans turned their energies towards trading and building up a fine culture. The old monarchy gave way to a republican form of government and peace became the norm. Phoenatica was once more the target of a foreign war when the Aztecs attacked. Other countries remembered the fate of the Americans and Egyptians in the Domino Wars and the Aztecs were unable to find allies. The Aztec war was short and Montezuma sued for peace after losing the city of Tlaxcala and having his iron mines destroyed by Phoenatican knights.
As Phoenatica looks toward the dawn of a new era she is at peace with her neighbors while the citizens of foreign tyrannies beg to join the Phoenatican republic!

Spices and incense exports to Iroquoisland were also commenced at this time. In return, Hiawatha agreed to pay 11 gold/turn and sent Iroquoian artisans to teach our people the fine art of metal working. The President categorically denied that the increased spice exports had anything to do with the fact that the founder of the
