The Fennian dream had come true! Shaman Petro had indeed managed to unite the Fennian tribes around the Neva-river area - and even earlier than anyone thought! People of Fennia considered themselves to be the first nation ever formed (not knowing of the existance of Rome, China, Babylon and Monaco). The Fennian political system was simple: each tribe choce a leader the way they wanted (usually the strongest man killed all other candidates). And then all leaders met in an intertribal council in the capital city of Petrolinna where they decided on big issues of the nation together. Years passed by quickly and Petro, the original founder of the empire, was already an old shaman, when someone came up with an incredible idea:
"There are Finno-ugrian people in north and south from us, who would be more than willing to join our great empire! Let's send settlers to form new cities in those areas and also to convert local people to join Fennia!" shouted the leader of the Karvala tribe in one of these meetings. And Petro, who was not only the high Shaman of the nation but also the chairman of the council, got very exited: "could it be that during my lifetime I will see Fennian people all around the world being united together as one great empire of Fennia?"
