Okay I am going to start by saying that this is just a quote "fluff update" and that
the real update was posted 2 day ago from today and is located on page 5. During this update I will just describe the current events/problems in the empire.
Okay now that that is out of the way lets get down to business.
We are still on at least fairly good terms with everyone... The world is actually pretty boring ahem *peaceful* other than the Iroquois city state declaring on our boys the Japanese (who are an empire). I doubt a city-state will over power an empire, but hey you never know what can happen. We're pretty much powerless to do anything, since we are still in 1500 BC and transportation hasn't evolved yet.
We have a few trading options. the majority of the civilizations refuse to trade with us for some reason however.
It appears that there is a vast reservoir of untapped resources directly east of us. We really need to get those lands settled and use those resources to strengthen our economy.
My city is very unhealthy. As of late many terrifying diseases have had our citizens dropping like flies. My priests have told me that the diseases were punishments from God, but this can't be since none of Rome's other cities are suffering. It is incredibly obvious now, yes the direct link between health and diseases can no longer be ignored. I have failed as a leader by letting my city slip into such a dismal state. Once my scientists are done researching construction, I will see to it that there is a public wash built in every community.

There are also a list of gov't jobs still available they include:
General of the Navy/Air Force
Lord of A city
Nobleman - 6 positions need to be filled before I re-activate them.
Rule Change: Anyone can hold any number of positions until more participation arrives. If more participation arrives lol.
Oh, I almost forgot the economy is slipping big time.
-14 GPT!!!! That is ridiculous, I sure wish our treasurer would provide us with a solution lol.
Edit: Waiting for orders from General Olaf and Red Spy before we can proceed.
