England/United Kingdom
STORY:
With great celebration, King John deposited the first bushel of grain at the granary, officialy marking its opening. With the granary complete, the army size would no longer be detrimental to England's economy. However, there were 2 new major problems facing England. 1st, its military was technologically backwards, even though its training was superior to that of any other nations. This was a situation that needed to be fixed as soon as possible. 2nd, Denmark had taken away England's title as ruler of the seas, with the construction of their new wonder. They now had a fleet of 70 ships. King John was truly amazed that such a small nation could support such a large fleet, even though his own nation, larger than Denmark, couldn't even support an army of 800 men without aid of infrastructure.
On the better side of things, Ireland had offered to unite with England, forming a new nation named the United Kingdom. The peoples of both nations were willing to make this union, so King John pushed forward with this plan. To promote the new national unity, he would build a new capital at London along the River Thames.
