I dont think so, I was one of the first to send orders

Sorry, I wasn't listening...
You are both mistaken my friends! For I have pre-ordered every wonder of the world! Starting with Stonehenge and ending with the Hanging Gardens 
Why can't you both have your own Stonehenges? All it was in real life was some sort of religious site. There could have been many similar sites throughout Europe.

There was only 1 stonehenge, can you name another one right now.
If there was only 1 stonehenge in real life, dont you think it would make since if there should only be one in this NES.
Its no fun if we all build the same wonders, then our countries will be almost exactly alike, we need to be diverse.

Well... Churchill actually named his wonder "Stone Circles" and Charles Li "Stonehenge", so hey.. let's imagine Charle's to be Stonehenge.. and Churchill to a cheaper look alike but instead of large blocks it'll be like 6 inch stones in a circle.

I never remember naming mine stone circles. But if it will make you all happy, fine. But my version is better

Oh . .. .. .. .! My bad, I had that backwards! Churchill was the one who named it Stonehenge, while Charles referred to his as stone circles, "somewhat like stonehenge".
Sorry Charles, but Churchill gets his named Stonehenge!

I'm not sure of the realism of this, but I think there's precedent for it in the ancestors of Indo-European (migrations are believed to have happened from the modern Ukraine as far as Spain, Italy, and India). Anyway, given the realism of this NES...
Ancestors of the Dagranites- The Proto-Dagvernian People
The Dagranite language has it's ancestory in eastern Palestine, which in about 10,000 BC was home to the Proto-Dagvernian people. It is believed that some factor pushed them northward, although it's nature is unknown. However, given linguistic similarities, this movement must have happened.
These Proto-Dagvernians would then settle in eastern Anatolia, although a splitoff group colonised the far northern Euphrates (the Proto-Vernians). This movement continued north, where they were displaced by another people, postulated to the ancestors of the Indo-Europeans.
The Proto-Dagrians were not just the Dagrian tribe, but a large ethnic group that existed north of the Ukraine region. Since early times it was recorded that they had great difficulty understanding their southern neighbours, to the point where interaction in practice did not happen.

Yeah, but is is 6 stone circles. the Ultimate Stone Wonder! Also, I made it a 3 Part Project. Stone Circles. Stone Hills. Stone Henge. Like Real Life. (first it was 1 circle of stone. Then it was a large circle with a hill in the middle. Then Stone Henge.) Whatever. Part 1 will be completed.

It was late in Uvarils reign when the last of his great changes raped rewards. For many years his wisemen traveled the land searching for new things. While many were found, most were not as important as Uvaril had hoped. While boar stew is very tasty, it won't exactly propel a nation into greatness. Finally though, two discoveries made their ways to the Speaker's ears.
The first was clay pots. These pots were strong yet light. They also kept food much better than many of the other early meathods of storage. It was Wiseman Huran who found and incorperated this technique into Galavania. He was traveling with one of the raiding groups seeking to expand Galavania's borders. He reasoned that some of the barbarian tribes might hold hidden knowledge.
He was right. His raiding group found a new tribe around a huge lake, now known as Lake Clavis (KLAY-vis). As usual they went to see the village chief. They brought their proposal out, join Galavania or risk the Speakers... disapproval. The chief said he'd give his answer in a week's time.
This was a usual response. The only difference was that it was customary to give gifts after two chiefs (or in Huron's case, the speakers emmisary) to give gifts. Huron carried around several prime boar pelts for this purpose. In return he got two beautiful clay pots with amazing artwork.
A week later when Huron returned the cheif was favourable to joining Galavania. After much talking Huron got him to join Galavania, and teach him how to make these clay pots. Immidiatly after he learned the secret, Huron departed to Kylarn, an ever growing hub in the Galavanian nation. When he got there, he went to see Uvaril.
Huron showed Uvaril the pots and how to make them. The Speaker was amazed and every wiseman was to learn the art of pottery. Soon the art was carrried across the nation and clay pots sprung up everywhere. Uvaril also commisioned Huron's name at the top of a wall in what was the beginnings of our present day palace. Every Wiseman who brough a great art or skill to Galavania has had his name carved somewhere in that room. And at the top of the right hand wall, is Wiseman Huron.
(Second part coming soon!)

If theoretically you were to get another couple sets of orders in to make it 10/10, would it be maybe possible to hopefully get update in a smidgen early?

The second Great discovery however does not have a name attached to it on the Wall of Wisemen. In fact it did not come from a wiseman at all. When Uvaril was seventy-five years old, another group of what seemed to be barbarians howled out of the north. But these were different. These people, know a the Lyarn, rode Caribou. They moved out as a large group burning down several villages, before camping at one end of a wide valley. Although not near as numerous as the Galvanians, their Caribou Riders made them fierce indeed.
Uvaril rode out with the armies to meet them. The armies stared at each other across that wide valley, before both forces seemed to move at once. Both groups met in the center of the valley and one of the largest single day bloodbaths of that century arose.
By the end of the day both groups were decimated. The Galvanians were down to almost half their number in the battle*. The Lyarn had almost no more infantry. Their primitive cavalry fared the best- only about a third died. Bu at the end of the day the Lyarn called for a parley.
Uvaril and three wisemen rode out to meet the Lyarn cheif and his sons. Neither group had seen such a force, not even the old barbarians had such numbers. So Uvaril posed a idea to unite them. The Lyarn joined the Galavinians and taught them the ways of domesticating, herding and riding the Caribou. Several years later Uvaril died, but he had propelled Galavania into the future.

Well let's see here who are we missing?
Well It's not me. COnsidering Amon was in here yesterday and has his own NES and knows all about late orders I think his are in. Charles Li and Churchill are already fighting over their orders.
That leaves:
NWAG3
Bestshot9
Ninja Dude
Erez87
Haseri
Abaddon
NowNinja-Dude was in the center of the Orders/Not orders debate so I doubt it is him. Haseri wrote a story after Skep said orders in 48 so Not him. Same with NWAG3. Abaddon just joined and probably sent orders with his joining leaving
Erez87
Bestshot9
Am I right? Or should I really work on my detective work?
Edit: I was close!
