The deadline is in 24 hours! I've gotten several orders already, but I need more. I don't want to have to NPC your nation, but I will if you wait too long and miss the deadline by a lot.

Orders will be in. Not just yet though.

Hopefully sometime tomorrow. I still need orders from Dacia and Aksum, but I can do the update without them.

I am having time constraints. If I can send orders, I will, but otherwise grow trade, navy, and army.
Maybe research some naval technologies.

SerfNES Update I : Years 20 ad - 30 ad
Introduction
Although most countries turned to peace after decades of strife, a common choice was the large expansion of peacetime armies in most able nations. While some areas of the world, such as the Middle East threatened war, other areas remained peaceful. Will the Mediterranean world return to the old order of Roman and Greek dominance, or will the Germans and Persians prevail in their struggles?
Domestic Events
Emperor Augustus of the Romans has begun construction of a huge new temple to the Roman God Mars. The new building will be located near the old Senate building, and will be used by members of Augustus's family and the legions.
An attempt to spread Greek inspired Egyptian culture throughout the Grand Aegyptian empire has proved fruitless. Reasons abound, but mostly the lack of appropriate funding and the stubbornness of the local cultures of the Balkans have caused the program to be ineffective.
The Imperial Numidians have begun to massive building projects; one resulting in outstanding success and the other a waste of the empire's resources. The first project was the completion of a large number of North-European style fortresses, which are both inexpensive and can be quickly built. They were built along the coast on the northern side of the nation.
The second project was a new system of aqueducts. A complete lack of funding (most money was spent on the massive fortress venture) and of properly trained locals have resulted in no new, working aqueducts for the people of Numidia.
The Catuvellauni have begun a massive new project: a new Trade Market of Verlamion. The market will be used in the buying and selling of goods from all over the British Isles and Northern Europe, and will bring in people from many far away places.
The new city of Caerdydd was built in the land of the Ordovices. The new city will be used to defend the land of the Ordovices and to consolidate power among the various tribes.
The Cimbric tribes have spread to the nearby island of Fyn. Their large navy has helped to make the settling a very easy and painless process.
Dacia has begun construction of a new Academy of Technology that will hopefully result in the education of Dacian nobles and the creation of new technology.
Parthia has begun construction on a new trade route to India. This new road, which will go through many kinds of terrain and connect Ectabana with the major cities of India, should enable better trade between Parthia and India, along with setting an example for more infrastructure projects in the future.
Jesus Christ has continued his preaching in Judea, calling for the defense of the holy land while still asking that they forgive their Roman opponents.
International Events
The mass mobilization of the Roman army has become public knowledge to their neighbors, some of which may become concerned and curious as to where the Roman armies are heading.
Grand Aegyptus has begun a massive blockade of the Judea coastline and stopped incoming and outgoing boats headed to Judean ports. The blockade has become a huge problem for Judea, seriously hurting their economy and influencing them to invest in a larger navy.
(Judea : -1 Trade)
The Catuvellauni have regained contact with their old Roman friends, along with made new contacts in the nations of the Picts, the Cherusci, and the Cimbri.
Cappadocian-Parthian relations are becoming increasingly stressful after the Parthian invasion of Armenia (see Military Events). They have responded by constructing city walls around their eastern city of Kaymaklu.
(Cappadocia : -Confidence)
Military Events
Small skirmishes with their Celtic neighbors have resulted in Pictish casualties in the southern lands of the Picts.
(Picts : -1 Levied Infantry)
Civil war, has, for a short time, engulfed the tribes on the eastern edge of the Cherusci. Their allied tribe, the Bructeri, have left the alliance and fought the Cherusci in the southeast. The overwhelming Cherusci levied army easily defeated the unorganized Bructeri, causing them to retreat farther into Germania.
(Cherusci : -3 Levied Infantry)
The Gotones tribes have begun a mild civil war. For several years two factions, the Aestigotones and Visigotones, have fought for tribal supremacy. By 30 ad they have made yet another (temporary) peace treaty, but their is concern that the tribe could split without major civil and political reforms.
(Gotones : -Confidence)
Dacia has expanded their empire to the west towards the Black Sea, although bad weather and difficult terrain have limited their conquests.
(Dacia : -1 Professional, -4 Levied Infantry)
The major event of the decade was the Parthian invasion and subsequent destruction of Armenia in the First Parthian-Armenian War. The war began in 23 ad when Parthia invaded Armenia from the west, through the Archremxid pass. The Armenians fought valiantly, but were unable to hold back the Parthian armies when they sent forward their heavy infantry. They were, fortunately for the Armenians, unable to use their elephants in the mountainous terrain.
The Parthians marched on and easily captured the Armenian capital, Yerevan. The Armenian royal family was moved to Parthia as prisoners, and the previous land of the Armenians is to be annexed into the Parthian empire. The war is effectively over, although some fighting still continues in the north.
(Parthia : -9 Professional Infantry)
(Armenia : -Independence)

All orders came in, although not all of them came in quite on time, it all worked out fine.
Some stats, such as infrastructure and confidence, can be increased and decreased by small amounts without it being shown in your stats. I'll keep track of these small changes; enough small changes will make a difference in your stats.

The people of Numidia would like to buy off at the very least the red colored islands as shown on the map. We would be however willing to pay a conciderable increase if all the territory higlighted is given. If you truly don't want to give any territory then that's fine but you won't get the said payments.

Great update! 
A long row of men were marching through a city as the Commander of the Legions turned around to admire his command. His aide was standing nearby, "Wonderful sight, dont you think? Thousands and thousands of men marching to war." The aide nodded, "Yes, sir. A wonderful sight."
"After our defeat in Greece at Atium I have long desired to command an army of this size and caliber. And today I finally have the command." Said General Marcus Agrippa.
"Yes, sir, Augustus has been kind to you and your family. Especially after the defeat in the north at your hands that caused several tribes to leave the Empire." Replied the Aide.
"No matter, they will see the error of their ways soon enough." Countered Agrippa.
General Agrippa turned to face the north, his legions were marching pass Massila and just about to turn north. Agrippa smiled, "Revenge is near." In days his Legions will be at Rome's northern borders. "I just hopes that Augustus does not change his mind soon." He told his aide.
"Well considering that he has another army marching as well I highly doubt that he will change his orders soon." The aide said. Agrippa nodded and continued to watch his legions march through Massila in silence.

It is absurd to think that, after gaining our independence, we would give up our land. We appreciate your offer, but it is too much to ask, hopefully future deals can be worked out.

Understood, sorry about that. We could we Numidians able to use your nations ports to establish trade and be able to resupply ourselves. This would also mean that we would allow the same to happen and let you use Numidia's ports and resupply to go further away places.
___________________________________________________________
Dear Numidians, I shall be gone to lands far away soon and with much anticipation I shall bring back knowledge of lands never known and will provide much glory to us! Fear not about me comrades, for I will be going to a place with a very noble nation much like our own! After he said this he went to the temple of Baal and with hope, asked that Baal would bless his voyage sweating greatly, dripping quietly on the marble slabs. And so, he was off to the far north.

Orders will be due Saturday, the earlier the better. I'll try to update by some time Sunday, although it could be earlier or later (doubtful though).
Let's just say, that when you do something to reduce or increase confidence, the change is between 1/2 and 1/4 of a point. Infrastructure, especially at the highest level, will require high investment, and that this number is dependent upon the size of your nation, and its ability to increase its infrastructure.
