INES Ib: Novus Ortus

[Perfectionist]

To: Holy Celtic Empire
From: Iberian Empire

We wish for an alliance in trade and defense in the Mediterranean. For the advancement and peace of European Nations.

We agree, and suggest that Italia should join the alliance, if they so desire. We Trinitists must stand united against the Ctha'rist threat. On that note, we propose that a council of Roman and Celtic Trinitist leaders be held, to attempt to reconcile the two branches of the faith. This split weakens Trinitism and has gone on for far too long.

We agree to this as long as Roman Trinitism is not washed out but absorbed.

Northwards, you know everyone up to the Byzantines, southwards, you know Malagasya, and westwards, you have contact with all nations up to Delhi. You don't know Awakar yet.

***

I won't do any NPC diplo for 24 hours, so that people have a chance to join.

 

[jeps]

Ok, thanks for that. In Europe, do I know all the Medditeranean nations?

I know that I dont have much time this week, so I will send orders after I get answers from a few nations (most importantly Nile)

 

[Lord_Iggy]

So would Tunisian names be Arabic sounding, Punic, Egyptian, or what?

 

[Imago]

Ok, thanks for that. In Europe, do I know all the Medditeranean nations?

You know the East Medditeranean nations, and Tunis. You know of the rest, but not well enough to conduct diplomacy with them.

So would Tunisian names be Arabic sounding, Punic, Egyptian, or what?

The names can be Egyptian or Punic, but more the former, then the latter.

 

[Contempt]

Checking in...

 

[jeps]

Final Question (Im about to leave)

What is the name of the city near the OTL Somali-Kenyan border on the south coast that is on its own? (need for a story)

 

[Imago]

Mogadishu.

After some pondering, I have decided to switch to Khazaria. Interesting BT update, btw. Although you could've added more countries...

[Lord_Iggy]

How's your scoring chart work?

Someone had better take the Benjids...

And there are 30 countries. It's a nice, round number, that isn't overwhelming to update, quite unlike the sad situation in TNES.
