Nation’s name: Altania Noun, Altanian Adjective.
Capital City: Cruxith
Leader: Aislidd Iudaeth
City/Province List: *Sniff* I dun wannah :<
Societal Structure:
Indentured Servants: Lowest ring of society. When a nation is assimilated, it is forced to pay yearly tribute in the form of young women and young men to be used for servant purposes. They are conscripted into the army or assigned to a public project. After 10 years, their servitude is up and they become Altanian citizens.
Civilian Class: About half of the Altanian population is in the civilian class. Every citizen owns their own weapons and armor, perhaps horses if they are of above-average wealth. When called upon, they leave their homes to fight in war. Most wars in the early stages are unique in that they consist of heavily armed settlers, ready to oust any barbarians or infidels from their homes. Traders, merchants, craftsmen, and farmers are included in the Civilian class.
Military Class: All those in the military. Some are civilians or indentured servants who have joined the military. The military is reserved for intense, long campaigns, as opposed to the quick skirmishes that the settlers deal with when expanding.
Ruler Class: This class is constituted of the Generals, high ranking officers in the military. The High Lord is the prime ruler of the entire nation, and he directly controls the military and all the commanders underneath him.
Interesting Information: The Altanian nation is a combat focused nation, but does not go by the normal "combat" rules. Instead of destroying a nation, a conquered nation is assimilated into the empire and those conquered may continue to live their normal lives, aside from paying tribute and taxes to the greater empire. There is a code of ethics for combat, mainly being that women and children are not harmed unless for a specific purpose (a shock raid to cripple morale). All in all, the Altanians focus on expanding and prefer to mitigate damages to their new territories.
Territory Color: Posted.
Brief History: Altania was formed when warring tribes in the Two Rivers were brought to the brink of extinction. Dozens of tribes had fought as long as anyone could remember, since resources were scarce and highly competed over in the lush rivers. A man came forward and united them, promoting trade, cooperation, and expansion.

Nation’s name: Qaxt'i (Demonym: Qaxt'i/Qaxt'in, Adjective: Qaxt'i)
Capital City: Ch'aakan
Leader: Aq'yuum Xoo' Bekelk'aan
City/Province List: 'Iqtemal, Laabk'aaxil, Q'umutz'aq, T'ankuuch'il, Pe'eqmal, Qaalk'oxtal, Naxk'uch, Mep'atzan, K'aaluktum, Xak'aatan, Chi'sembook', Tzaq'uub
Societal Structure: At the top are the P'opatzin, the scholar/nobility class. Interestingly, this class actually combines the scholars and noblemen, with scholars granted title, and nobility requiring qualifying exams, resulting in a largely meritocratic society. Nonetheless, P'opatzin status is hereditary, so only one's ancestor require passing, although exams provide prestige. Below them are the officials and military, both servants of the nation itself. Merchants and artisans go after, and farmers and slaves take the very bottom.
Interesting Information:
Brief History: Qaxt'i is likely the first settled culture in Wiixk'oltzan (Mesoamerica), and its influence was great on much of the surrounding regions. It was founded by Aq'yuum Xoo' Poq'chitil, who defeated the mad Saatzan Kamaxbeel, who descended from the clan of armadillos. His grandson Aq'yuum Xoo' Ch'anpelem was known for creating and codifying Qaxt'itz'iib, the Qaxt'i writing, and for establishing a code of laws. It is his great grandson who is the current Aq'yuum, Xoo' Bekelk'aan.

Interesting Information:
- The Qaxt'in are the first people to use base 30. It may be in relation to the length of the lunar cycle, or perhaps simply because of its round divisibility.
- Qaxt'i cuisine is known for its use of chilies and deer, both meat and dairy, to create a rich and savory flavor.

Prologue: Dawn
For an immeasurable quantity time, the vast forests and jungles of the land have been populated by humans incapable of remaining in a fixed location. The game and vegetation were always changing and crossings of rivers, treks through desert, and scouting new woodlands were sometimes necessary to sustain the society. As small, tight tribes merged with others, they loosely referred to themselves by differing names. When the idea of agriculture, observed by some as a miracle, dawned upon the simple minded creatures, they had no foresight as to what may be waiting down the road.
Historians are baffled, as it appears that agriculture appeared out of thin air, and are simply lost when it comes to pinpointing the location of this emergence. Perhaps it was in Euthia, specifically Ilos, the peninsula which quickly found itself densely populated by Anotonians, led by an iron-fisted figure named Peteus, the Herakossi who had just settled down after a lengthy migration from the north, the coastal creatures in Menados, and the witty Varsans. Many professors argue that the practice of tending to crops and animal domestication originated in a region to the north along a great river which cut through the hills and forests. On the river's delta, a tribe called Draesonia had settled down and many dissidents refusing the Vathos' position on the throne proceeded to make their way to Ilos and other distant areas.
Some even postulate that it was nor Ilos, nor the region to the north, but a peninsula to the west filled with a plethora of cultures ranging from the Myesoni in the northern foothills, the Turentians and Nassarics in the central area along the coast, and the Athan people who took residence on the southern tip of the peninsula. Although improbable, some argue that the origin was further to the west, in places such as Plishti, Johannia, Rusathia or Altania. A distant island to the north came up in discussions due to the presence of Corvish and Melian settlements along the southern coast where the climate was most suitable.
Euthia was not the only continent, however. Afantira was revealed as a possible location for the first planting of seeds. Although a bit out of the way of great rivers and fertile soil, Qarpa stood as an ancient bastion bustling with traders and primitive shipbuilders. To the east, a great river gave birth to two cultures, Zephadyus and Sphabastus, who each showed signs of very early agricultural roots. The landmass to the east, Melusa, seemed to be the prime candidate for the discussions, as it was home to the region known as "the land of two rivers". This are was dominated by the ancient kingdoms of Ajk-Kuta, Eneshur, and Zadrunuch. Ancient stone carvings from Ajk-Kuta depicted scenes of plants growing in rows and great harvests. Northwestern Melusa, home to Kulpetuk, Larasus, Megardrus, and Nevongasi was rumored to be the first area with mining going on. The mountains contained great amounts of durable stone, which the indigenous people quickly began to use for toolmaking and construction.
Ashaja, the continent to the far east, was also home to very ancient cultures. From Drattemaja Jamikur, and Branga in the west, to Yokosaka, Anjak, and Orohiki in the east, there were signs of agrarian societies dotting coastlines and riversides. However, the most densely settled area in ancient times was central Ashaja. Zhingye, a civilization with strong roots in agriculture, was even dominated by master farmers and quickly expanded. Xia, Katang, Tinus, and Guzhon likewise had strong farming principals and traditions, leading scholars to believe that this was the region where the first steps towards civilization were taken.
Some experts even look across the seemingly infinite seas to a region known to indigenous people as Wiixk'oltzan. Home to cultures such as Qaxt'ins, Tampihuitls, and Dzambecs, the area had a history of clearing thick jungles in order to support a sedentary lifestyle of growing the most bountiful and hunger-satisfying plants that could be found in the forest. Qaxt'in farmers were known for the innovation and experimenting with plant breeding. Over a period of many years, strong breeds of plants were developed, and techniques were spread until the whole region had scattered settlements which slowly formed into larger city states and kingdoms.
Regardless of where civilization first manifested, it was clear that agriculture was the foundation for each society. Whether it came second to trade or religious belief, or it was the most highly regarded facet of the hierarchy, the growing of crops allowed for sedentary lifestyles which in turn fostered the growth of the planet's first civilizations.

gotta get this out of the way too:
a note on orders. If you are ever unsure of when they are due, please check the first page. IT has the exact time and date they are due. (I can be pretty lenient, but don't give me late orders repeatedly) I will usually make orders due THURSDAY night so i can process them on Thursday night, work on the map on Friday, and write the update on Saturday.)
