Intrude: Bloody amazing, that pool of Veritasian manpower is. One wonders when they stole a bag of holding from the Citadel.

Considering joining as the Fairhelt after the update..... if you could perhaps include a small summary of the history of Fairhelt in the update I would be forever grateful.
A PM works too.
If you have a different country you think I would be better in then by all means refer me to that one and I will try my best to run it.

The Fairhelt are the spawn of evil.

Right. But to do it again and again, expedition after expedition, campaign after campaign, for centuries on end, despite being defeated, invaded, and horribly crippled virtually every time, leaves one wondering just how bloodthirsty the populace must be to never do something like demand peace, or what its birthrate must be like, because professional soldiers (and conscripts for that matter when most of them go off and die) and their equipment aren't exactly the easiest things to come by even in the Imperial Age. There's also that, you know, rebuilding thing.
I've watched Vertias get the absolute crap get kicked out of it several times, lose vast swathes of territory, lose its entire fleet at least once, most of its army and population centers several times, and the next century or two around it's up and ready to go out conducting foreign adventurism yet again without losing a step. It's just impressive, is all.

Yes, they were. It's what lead to Ceaser coming to power, because the people were sick of constant fighting. Then they had a civil war, which capped it off, and then things were good for about a century. Then the empire started falling to pieces and plowed itself into the ground over the next three centuries.
You can run any country you want germanicus!
Fairhelt is a northern nation, Euro/Central Asiatic in appearance, notable for using great, multi-tusked creatures called 'Wooly Ramids' for domestic and military purposes. They've historically been rivals of the Merhai, who are currently represented by the Iron Face Empire, the yellow nation to the southeast.
You have a rather militaristic history, fighting Merhai in several occasions, and at one point being invaded and crushed near to the point of collapse. Since then, your nation has been recovering, and under the rule of Ariz 'The Wolf', you have regained several rebellious territories and gone to war with the Iron Faces (who are currently fighting against Gorin).

Yes, how dare I wait an entire hundred years between wars? There certainly aren't any historical examples of nations getting bunches of territory taken and fighting another war an entire century later, are there?
And let's not forget my devestatingly large army of less than 20,000 soldiers. Very unrealistic, that.

Who are you North King? I did not see your name connected to any of the nations on the list on the first page....
And why would you harbor dislike towards me? Still trying to catch up on the history of Fairhelt....

there, some barebones history for you.

Generally not after having the majority component of the nation razed after an epic multi-century conflict, no, not really. The closest might be France after the Hundred Years War. Admittedly, it's been two-hundred years.
I said manpower, not army size. I could also say your people don't learn from history, but people--particularly leaders--rarely do. Anyway, comments from the peanut gallery, no need to get upset over remarks from somebody irrelevant, eh? Should be taking it as a compliment, if anything. I for one haven't ever been able to understand why they never just finished you off.
