Germanica was a young nation, and its leaders ruthless. Con von Head IV, continued his father's expansion, into the land of the Dutch and toward the strange people in the north called the swedes. He realized Germanica is not alone in this world, there are other tribes, other civilized nations like Germanica. He knows they are out there, but he knows Germanica is superior.

Con von Head IV rallied his army, "It is time for our great and young nation to expand our culture over the seas, my traders have told me that there is a great island across the sea, a fertile island, where we can expand our culture and live and prosper".

Con von Head set out with is army, toward the land he will named Eng von land.

Excerpt from Johann Pulitzer's A History of the Ancient World, a seventh grade history textbook

In the year BC 2946, the tribes of the Moscow region in the frigid east of Europe were united for the first time under the leader Ivanski the Titleless. Ivanski was by no accounts a complex individual (there being no surviving records from the time) but the legend has it that he was unremarkable in every way so that no title could be awarded him. However, that notion has been challenged by some who believe that he was so remarkable in every way that no title could be awarded him while doing all his qualities justice. Whichever is the case, it is believed to be fairly certain that Ivanski united the tribes, and that he had no title.

It just so happened that the uniting of the tribes of the Moscow region coincided with the continued disunity of the surrounding tribes. As a result the new nation - called by the indigenous peoples Moskva - immediately set out to conquer its divided neighbors. By 2901, Moskva had successfully expanded its borders significantly and Ivanski's son, Ivanski II, named the fledgling united nation Russia. The tribes of Russia united, they had surrendered all their power to the central despot who ruled from Moskva.

Although at first it may seem as though Russia would adopt a monarchial system as Ivanski II replaced his father, that was not the case. In fact, within just a few years it is told that Ivanski II was ruling so unsatisfactorily that the peoples of Russia demanded new leadership. Ivanski II was not a very strong man and caved quickly, seeking counsel from his counselors and compromise from the compromisers.

The result of this leadership vaccuum was the short lived quasi-Republic. Although not so called in those times (it was in fact considered to be an oligarchy) it represents one of the first instances of democratic government in the world. The first "election" called for a gathering of the tribal leaders in a sort of federal style to decide upon a new leader - this was referred to as a "council" and each leader was directed by their tribes what to say and do. Almost unanimously, the ebullient and charismatic young Petrov was elected to the position of ruler. Petrov took total leadership of the country and immediately dissolved the council, and that was the Republic of Russia.

The leadership which was to follow would lay the foundations for all Russian history and ultimately determine the destiny of the nation. Petrov was an ambitious young leader.

Trade:
Trade ivory and other goods to more advanced cultures, while primitive cultures can be traded weapons and basic goods.

The people of Aztexas were a formidable people indeed. It was said a full grown young Aztexan man could bring down a leopard with two fingers and a big rock. They didnt know why life was so good, but most put it down to the sun. I mean what else got up every morning and did so much work, warming them all up and making plants grow? Surely the sun was the nicest creature any had ever known. And it must be pretty powerful too, the people of Aztexas certainly didnt know anyone who could fly like the sun... or at all really, their attempts had all ended with a certain bone crunching splat into the rocks below a particularly tall cliff.

So the people of Aztexas thought to themselves, there is a really big powerful and pretty nice creature up there in the sky made of flaming flame, lets be nice to it in return. But how are you nice to the sun? They tried building it things but it never seemed to want them. They even cooked feasts for it but it never came down to eat. At last someone had a great idea, lets worship it!

For a while no one took any notice of this guy because well lets be honest here he had just invented a word and no one knew what it meant. Bu then they saw him praying to it and asking it for things and throwing himself on the ground in front of it and it just clicked. This was what they had to do! Throw themselves on the dirt and grovel around in front of the giant flaming creature begging for gifts from its allpowerfull-ness.

Sometimes it worked and their wishes were granted but othertimes it didnt seem to work at all. So they built great big monuments out of mud and stuff dedicated to it... That helped a little maybe... Then someone thought how better to show this creature which they had given a name Sunexas and a title God that they really like him but by killing animals in his name? I mean surely the great being that rose every day and warmed everyone up and made things grow would love some animals killed in his name. And so it was done and the first sacrifices were held.

ORDERS:

STORY:

The people of Minnestron led a simple life. They ate when they could and mainly concentrated on surviving. Then one day, a great tribal leader named Camp'ell had an idea that would revolutionize Minnestronian society. He decided make rounded clay objects with a depression in the middle. We today know these as bowls. Camp'ell left them out in a rainstorm one day and they filled with water. While coming back from a hunt, he tripped over a rock and some of the meat from the animal fell into these bowls. Rather than let it go to waste, he drank from the bowl and ate the meat as it came to him. He decided that it was delicious and called the addition of food to a bowl of water "soup". His idea caught on quickly as it was a great way to strech food when it was scarce. Eventually, there was a main soup, created by the Minnestronians. It consisted of some random vegetables villagers found lying around and water, they called their main soup, Minnestrone, after their nation.

Dangit too many NESes . But honestly Galavanian is the ancient Yahkman word for "THe awesome". SO you can see where he would get confused.

Anyway orders for Yahkma

[Supermath]

The land around the upper Benon River* has been populated by humans for tens of thousands of years -- after all, it wasn't too far from the original birth of Humanity. In addition, the practices of agriculture came early to this region, as people took advantage of the clear waters of the Benon and the plains of the surrounding region. So it would seem to make sense that one of the earliest civilizations would take root here.

The nation of Beneria was for a long time like that of her neighbours -- undeveloped and decentralised. However, this was to change in the year 2892 BC, with the ascension of the first king of what is commonly known as the Mutasa Dynasty. Upon securing the throne, he renamed himself Mutasa -- meaning Great Leader. In addition, all his descendants were to assume the same name, so he would later become known as the First Mutasa, his son Second Mutasa, etc.

It was the actions of the First Mutasa who helped make Beneria into the kingdom that we know and love. One of his first actions was to create a new capital along the banks of the Benon, naming it Montaga, presumably after his late father. It was to be a revolutionary new town, and it was the result of exhausting almost all of the fledgling nation's resources. However, the effort soon paid off -- Montaga would become the largest settlement in the area, and the Mutasa found he could govern his people much more effectively. There was one trade-off to this, though: the kingdom lost a good chunk of its periphery to neighbouring rivals. However, as a result, many people were displaced near Montaga, and it only helped to bolster the city's economy.
