DominatrNES II: From Chariots to Corporations

Brief History: Originally a Greek colony, the people of Tartessos soon intermingled with the local population with many of their odd customs. The Greek gods have all been given a local twist. (Zeus is known as Zhut, Poseidon is Porta, etc.). Tartessos' armies, led by the wise Rabban Arganthos have been succesful lately, making Tartessos the most powerful state in the region.
While it's nice that you are delcaring me y0our origin it isn't possible. No historical names remember? I posted first and according to my history Greece has never been united enough to send a colony all the way to Spain of all places. Sorry but you'll have to edit that out.

Claiming in Western Anatolia, rest later.

A rival approaches... And its Tambien. GG
 
Definitely joining, but I refuse to claim in Europe. It'll be as overcrowded as all Keltia.

Claiming Tunisia, submission on its way.
 
Mediterranean is getting rather crowded now.

My bad, consider it edited. Ilossian would be a person from Ilos, correct?
 
Better details later.
Location attached.

Nation’s name: Yokosaka (Standard, Plural, and Adjective)
Capital City: Kotona
Leader: Emperor Kotona
City/Province List: Shung, Nihon, Wakoka, Ho-Sai, Qu-To, Hiza, Ose, Zhung-Zu, Hoka, Si-Thro (That was a lot of work!)
Societal Structure: Emperor: The richest and most powerful class. Obviously there is only one member to this class, though when one Emperor dies, his throne passes to his closest relative.

Royal Family: Anyone related to the Emperor, by birth or marriage. The second richest class, this group has more potential power, but it is less immediate than the next two.

Advisors: Helps the Emperor decide what the new laws are.

Chiefs: Set over parcels of lands, they decide the outcome whenever there is a land dispute between the divided land. Obviously there is a lot of corruption in the system...

Merchants: A new class that has been just starting to form. Should they grab for power in the future, they may be able to become more powerful than even the Emperor.

Warriors: Enforcers of the Empire's commands. These warriors are prepared to fight to the death, if need be.

Farmers: The common people. The farmers always are trying to buy out the others to get the most land. The warriors are drawn from this class.

Outcasts: The criminals and people who could not pay their debts. The Emperor usually uses this class to hire for his less desirable work (Assassinations, etc.).

Interesting Information: War is highly honored in Yokosaka. To fight for the Emperor is more valuable than life for the warrior class. The most interesting thing about the Yokosaka is the fact they have a religion centered around war. There are no priest classes, the warriors themselves are the priests. This mixing of religion and war often means that other nations cannot tell who is spreading religion and who is planning to take over their land!

Territory Color: Red
(Very) Brief History: The Emperor Kotona has risen to power. But all is not well in Yokosaka. Assassins lurk in the streets, and thugs are commonly found beating innocent people. And the Emperor must fight more than just thugs on his way to unite the island...
Area on Map: Attached.

Nation’s name: Kernow, Kernish
Capital City: Tintagel
Leader: King Mordred
City/Province List: Avelon, Annwn, Camelot, Cockaigne, Lyonesse, Westernesse, Ys, Gavanesse, Northunesse, Dinas Affaraon, Cantref Gwaelod, Kaileon
Societal Structure: A number of small petty kingdoms united under a High King. A Noble Warrior caste control a series of smaller domains and are subservient to their kings and High Kings, and the Peasantry farm. (Proto Feudalism)
Interesting Information: The Kernish beleive themselves to be not entirely human. They can all trace their ancestry partially to the Fae who inhabited the land before, and most villages have at least one shrine dedicated to ancestral Fae.
Territory Color: Dark Green
Brief History: The Kernish have lived here for as long as people have lived here, Slowly driving the Fairies and Wildmen into the wild woods, where no man dear tread, even today. It is said that Gawain, The first High King, United the tribes of men and Good elves with the help of his Queen, Morgaine, a princess of the Elves. This united kingdom drove the Darker faction of the elves out of Tintagel, thier Capital, and claimed it as the heart of Kernow. Over time, the Light elves faded away as the Time of Man came. As such, No one in a thousand years has seen hide nor hair of a fey, though much evidence of both factions is still around: Who else would cause the sicknesses that run rampant every so often, who else built the ancient stone circles, who else would cause animals to die for no apparent reason.
Area on Map:I don't have a working Image edit program, but stick me in cornwall, with Tintagel somewhere off the east coast.
 
My bad, consider it edited. Ilossian would be a person from Ilos, correct?

Indeed, and the descriptions seem vague enough that I still can have freedom when describing the religion which was what i really had a problem with. Other than that, nice to see some Ilossian brothers out there :)
 
Qarpa (Qarpa'i)/Optical
Capital: Aniai
Leader: Karkul (lord); currently Karkul Asli the Younger
Cities/Provinces: Laffan, Rasse, Ettila, Fey'an, Da'an, Tulan, Qarp'an, Ani'an, Ammini, Fraigan, Wani, Vailin, Senni'an
Societal structure: Division is into three classes, based on where one's work is based - on the land (farming and soldiering), on the sea (fishing and merchantry) or in the heavens (priests and nobles). The classes of Land and Sea are roughly equal. Those in the class of the Heavens are wealthy and respected.
Interesting information:
-The class of the Sea numbers around eighty percent of the population of Qarpa, with around sixty percent of those being involved in merchantry. The Qarpa'i have perfected the business of barter, haggle and winkling people out of money.
-The Qarpa'i religion (Sennism) is monotheistic, but a multitude of spirits are said to act as their deity (named Senni)'s assistant. These spirits have names and domains over various aspects of Qarpa'i life.
Colour: Royal blue (#2B60DE) or light goldenrod (#EEE8AA)
Brief History: A group of nomads travelling along the northern edges of the Great Desert, the Qarpa'i eventually settled down on the coast of the Bay of Qarp'an, as they named it, in order to take advantage of the growing presence of cities around the edge of the Sea of Fas'an (Fas translates roughly to Calm, and the suffix 'an means a place). They were quick to do so, and soon became a dominant mercantile force on the Sea of Fas'an, causing the city of Aniai to grow into a large trading hub. The Karkul is the hereditary/elected ruler of the city, elected from the previous Karkul's sons (or, rarely, daughters) by the members of the Heavenly class.

Edit: spoilered. There you go, that's everyone's claims so far. :salute:
 
And kernow is the one you pick on? :p Not Japan?

Japan for some reason is always called Japan no matter how OOC it truly is. :p I don't think anyone can change that.

Since you are playing Kernow, I call Gwynedd.
 
i claim Sparta.
