Weep, Mother.
Am I the only one suddenly horrified?

Sorry, I wasn't listening...
I was thinking the same thing when he came back. But he cleared it up and told me it was different. It was the religion of the Duroc people, but Vert deleted his posts, so we couldn't really look back to find out who the "One" was.

You seem to be ambling towards Republicanism, even if you haven't realized it yet
Republicanism is a distant yet distinct possibility, and much less distant in the 17th century Poland sense of the word, but technically I have other plans. It depends on how things turn out for the next few turns, though. We might out-republic and over-republic you yet if need be.
Why did he do that, anyway?
A-ha-ha-ha.
If that wasn't a joke, see LINES II. Also, see it for why Thlayli is beating a very, very dead horse in this update. 
Can I have a secret society, a Holy Order of Aya'se would work rather nicely.
Notice:
Masada is accepting tenders for a Holy Order of Aya'se, religious zealots, prospective crusaders, and xenophobic nationalists need apply. The prospective applicant would need to wear acceptable garb, be properly armed, and exhibit a certain degree of unmitigated contempt for all non-believers. The most successful candidates would also have a penchant for mass murder and pyromania. Please forward all such requests to Masada at Masada's PM box.
@Das Who said anything about having a choice...

The south-wise-man-Kleo of the Iralliam says, "Life is a choice between joining the family of the Good-God and joining the family of the Evil-God." We shall choose our own path regardless of your mutterings, flippered-trader, for we are ruled by me and I am the first-born son of the Crimson Elephant and the sole master of our destiny!

Well, my genocide list has been updated.
@Das
We are the sons and daughters of Aya'se, Matah and Pa. This worlds is theirs, and ours. All will join the Union, as functioning Republics, or face the consequences. We care not for your quaint customs, or petty Ancestors, we rule you even if you do not realize it. And stop using a bastardized form of our language and writing!
(Not actual Diplomacy, just an OOC, IC bit of fun poking with Das).
@Thayli
I don't think by definition Elephants can have genocide committed against them, unless you happen to be Elephants... otherwise I'm in total agreement, this world needs some ethnic cleaning up.

Foolish Fish Family merchants! Know that the world is a circle and the feast-tent of Eso Kotuu is in its middle, whilst you are at its edge! Your Ancestor was a fish and his son had the mind of an animal and ran away to the sea, and his descendants have lost both the semblance of the people and the knowledge of the Great Family and the Good Council, as well as that of the true invention of the human and godlike language by Great-Family-Chief-of-Chiefs Eso Kotuu and of the written word by Moti-Chief-of-Chiefs Frei - this we have known for generations, but now it has become apparent that you also lost the basic decency of humans, and are reduced to petty fish-insults.
Your people are fish - swim with your brothers in the seas, and come up to the coast to trade - that I shall tolerate. But know that you have no legitimate family-claims on the surface-land. Some deserts and wastes I will let you occupy, if you are well-behaved. But if you continue to insult our ancestors, the ancestors of the world and the Moti Great Family, then I shall be forced to punish you by raising the tolls for your merchants thrice. Thus say I, the first-born son of the Crimson Elephant!

(agreed, perhaps a merchant slinging mud is fun )
Foolish wayward child of Aya'se. Know that the Seshweay were old before this world was born, before it was even conceived by the Old Ones, for our Ancestors were aged beyond the sum of all the stars in their domain and so are we. The Old Ones created this world in their image, before their sons and daughters took it from them, and then gave it unto their children; us. They bequeathed us the Republic, the Tales of the Seshweay struck into bronze, and their language. You are our sons and daughters, the imperfect get of some madman long in the grave. But none the less our children, did not Aya'se say of all his children that they should be kept safe from harm, even unto themselves?
And children you are, for none in the north deny his word, or his deed and his holiness. For that you are thrice damned, damned by ignorance of his words, damned by the ignorance of his deeds and damned with a government of one. You are ought but babes in arms, for our Ancestors wrote not of your existance, pitiful it must have been to not even warrant a word. Even the ancient enemies two, Arkage and Satarai warranted a mention, for yours there is nothing. Silence resounds for the wayward children of Aya'se and for that we know you are lost.
Faith begets humanity, humanity begets liberty, liberty begets culture, and culture begets Union. For that lack we intend to impose it in the manner of a parent punishing a wayward child long lost to the fold.

Hi there,
Is there a suitable nation I could play and not mess other peoples game? Also, is there a deadline for the next round of orders?

The most out of the way nation at this point which still has potential to do stuff is either the Nahari Empire (basically a little nation which has just been quietly conquering tiny states and cleaning up the eastern side of the map), or something else in that region (if you want a smaller state, let me know, there are a couple who you could take who aren't on the map right now). That part of the world is pretty much the most out of the way at the moment.
EDIT: Orders are due this coming Saturday.

Oh, it's worth noting that this upcoming update, due to things like the Hu'ut war, etc., is probably going to be only about 25 years long.

I heartily approve of this last bit.
EDIT:
But the update is on Thanksgiving? Or earlier?
