Hail Divine Emperor!
How ironic! 
The Black Army in nesing term has usually been applied to a massive unknown force usually dressed in black which rampages across a country's territory seemingly at random

Guess the Valkans will make due until then, hmmmmm what to do with my huge empire...?
And no Mycenea is not fighting Aahnad, it is at peace with them, also all people at war with each other seem to have a red border with each other in order to differentiate I suppose.
Sooo at the moment I'm your ally Kent? Hope to destroy Aahnad next year, see you at their capital.

Umidia still here. Could you care the explain the economy a little bit? So far I assume that the "average" means the current state of the economy while the (++) is the pace at which it is growing/decreasing, correct?
btw, is that recourse south of pithas gold?

From the Lord Protector of the Yssian Republic
To the Master of Saxony
Those lands have been settled by Gallics and Yssians for centuries, and are quite profitable to boot; We do not sell our people. We also adise you that their value comes from their connection with Ys, any move to take them will leave you with a few scraps of valueless land.
We do of course welcome good trade with Saxony, and your promises of Peace.

Oh, he is, he is...
Do you believe in fate?
If not in one NES, then in another...Great map, great nations, great update - as is to be expected, ofcourse.
A few things, though:
Perhaps it would be best to rename the continents and the cultures into something more althistoric? I mean, we have completely different geography and nations, so "Europe" and "Asia" and so forth seem rather out of place. On the other hand, I suppose they're nice and neutral... What do you (Daft, and the other players) think?
Somewhat more specifically, I assume that it will now be possible to rename civilizations... I'd like to rename the Aahnad Empire into the Agrenese Empire; that name strikes me as both more meaningful (especially as the empire is now a multicultural one, the Germanic elements extremelly weak by now in any case) and more aesthetically-pleasing.
Lastly, when for should we send orders?
IC:
*secret*
From: Aahnad Empire
To: Mycenae
Your proposal shall be considered... Nevertheless, we assure you that our situation is not nearly as dire. Through mighty feats of arms (by their standards) our enemies captured a few unguarded cities; they shall turn and run upon making contact with our actual army, as they had done before on too many occassions to mention.
Perhaps a less radical version of your proposal should be put into place instead? A trade agreement and co-belligerence against Tarnas. The rest shall be considered in due time.

If you want to put me in America, or in the "old world" with this nation it'd be fine. If you also dont want it to be advanced thats fine too.

Description:
Founded around the city of Videssos along the shores of the Videssian Sea(if you'd allow it'd be between the videssian sea and a greater ocean much like otl istanbul. also if you want to put it on an existing sea thats fine too). Videssos slowly expanded itself from a city state to gain contorl of the lands around it which were much less organized. After the conquests of the Vaspurakans in the west Videssos became an Empire ruled by the Avtokrator(emperor). Videssos practices the religion of Phos believing in a duality between the god of Light, Sun, and Life Phos and of the god of darkness, night, and death Skotos. Videssians believe that the ultimate victory will come to Phos and follow him.
Religion is very important in Videssos where any power that could hope to even match that of the emperor is the Patriarch who oversees all religious activity. Although he has no official power, his ability to sway the masses do to his religious position can not be disregarded in Videssian politics.
Religion also plays an important place in Videssos where most members believe in Phos' triumph. The Vaspurikans to the west believe they were the first people created by Phos and are decendants of them. Videssians view this as arrogence for the most part. The eastern section of the nation known as Namdalen has many members of a sect that believes that the battle between Phos and Skotos is actually an even battle, but they have decided to place their chances with Phos. Some Videssians view this as heretical since Phos is always the clearly more powerful to them and that it is set in stone, and not unsure that Phos wil leventually win. They view this as a lack of faith and much tension has come of this but no emperor or patriarch has yet to demand an end to the practice.

I just finished An Emperor for the Legion(2nd book) like last week so I cant tell you.
And yes I do read a lot of him. So far the entire worldwar/colonization/homeward bound series, first 2 books of Videssos, and since my local bookstore doesnt have the rest of videssos I got In the Presence of Mine Enemies and Ruled Britannia. So yeah I like him
