Primitive people had been discovered on the large southern island. Their crude weapons and manner of speaking showed them to be inferior in all ways. And now, they had issued a threat! Against the Hokkaido tribes! In the past, the Hokkaido tribes had united to overcome the other tribes on their island. NOTHING could stand against their combines might!
The Confederate Council convened in Sapporo soon after and discussed this event in-depth. Numerous plans were drawn up, but the most well-accepted one involved a three-way assault. The small [but QUITE better trained] forces of Hokkaido would be divided into three attack forces. They would be situated so that the troops on the flank make a surprise assault on these Kyotans. The third force would hunker down where no one can view them and wait until four days pass. They will then rush forward and take the Kyotan troops by surprise!
In the event of supreme losses, troops shall retreat to the best defendable land in the area [hills, mountains...the high ground, essentially] and hold out as best they can. No declaration of war shall be issued, and no warning given to the Kyotans. In addition, any Kyotans who surrender and aid the Hokkaido troops will be given full rights of a Hokkaido citizen.
Diplomacy:
To: Kyoto
We will consider it. Expect our answer very soon.
Orders:
Situate troops according the the map provided, each white square being one-third of the entire Hokkaido military [minus the elite guard who protect the chief of each tribe]
The troops on the flanks of the center force will march forward [as according to the pink-colored lines on the map]. After several days pass, the center force, which is doing all it can to be camoflauged, will attack with all they have according to the red line on the map.
Increase economy.

The people continued to become frieghtened from the troops around the villages, though as thier sudden retreat farther north, no where to be found, the sudden threat was gone. Days later, a message was recieved from the Hokaido Tribal Leader, specifing thier considerence. The Kyotos began to trust the northerners, though the new leader, the wise man, believed the suspicion continued to mount, and mount, and mount. He decided not to let thier guard down, though to see what will happen in a couple years first, before any military movements or defenses are set up.
Times were beggining to fog the situation in Japan... how will this quiet bicker end?

Kyoto
A large shiek was heard from a distance, reported the local border guards. "What has happend?" asked the villaged governor minutes after the suspicous scream was heard... "We do not know, the women who was believed to yell suddenly disapeared, we believe this may be a wild animal in the woods."
"Very well then, though please check up the trail, send a couple more guards with you, kill this animal" the governor ordered.
Though surprisingly the animal was more stronger then expected. In a matter of seconds, a shower of large rocks flood the floors, by the second shower, 10 bodies scattered the floors.
"We are being attacked!!" "We are being a-" The guards felt a stroke to thier back as thier alerts spread throughout the village, thousands of warriors poured into each home, massacreing everyone in sight.
Kyoto was at war, the first village has fallen.

ooc: each day or two I will take the position as an NPC nation, and write stories to coorespond with your stories. At this moment, obviously, I am representing Kyoto in Japan. Next update I may represent another npc. 
This will add a bit of flavor and flow to the game and the story.

Meanwhile, in Mediterranea, blissfully unaware of the Japanese conflict halfway around the world, the Empress smiled. Her rule was expanding rapidly, already encompassing the hills and plains of the central regions of Iberia, as well as the fertile eastern coastline. Towns and villages were springing up all across the Mediterranean portion of Iberia, and gold flowed into Massilia.
After establishing the current border between Carthage and Mediterranea in Iberia, trade flourished between the two nations. While the Empress secretly desired the entire Iberian peninsula for her own, that could wait, as another, even more fertile peninsula was being settled, Italy, this time without rivalry with or challenge from the pesky Carthaginians.
Wine literally flowed in the streets of Massilia as the Mediterraneans, already fine producers of wine and grapes, worked their presses day and night to keep up with demand both within the realm and in neighboring Carthage. Trade flourished, and construction of the Guildhall at the center of the port continued unhindered by misfortune. Mediterranea was surely in an era of growth and power.

Carthage
Carthage stood well with the lands of Portugal on its side. The iberians there favoured the Africans, and the resources that flourished on the ports that connected the two continents. The lands of Carthage began to grow as expansion shifted from the west to the east, where the island of Sicily lay the waters.
The Latin were said to roam these lands. Ignorant of thier culture and country, the Carthaginigans sailed to Sicily, and the small islands around it. Miles from shore stood the small village of the Latin, soon to be known as the Romans...

About contacts, I suppose that I will not make a full contact list, you will just have contact with those near you, unless I announce that you have contact with a far away nation at some point.

Hail Divine Emperor!
China, where the Mandate of Heaven had been offered. The Dragon Emperor was still working hard to earn it, it would be a VERY long time before he had proved himself to heaven. The Gods were giving him a test, China had gained Communications with Manchuria and Mongolia. The Emperor was deciding wat to say to them, from wat they've heard, the Mongolians were barbarians, while the Manchurian lifestly was similar to the Chinese.
For how long, the world will be secured, conquered, and civilized. Those days were the dream of the Chinese, they WILL bring the barbarians to appreciate Chinese culture. And thus, the road began...

Shipwreck
Over the broad reaches of the Oregon dominion trade and crafts flourished, led by the primary cultural group of the region, the Ochoco. Relying on hunting, fishing, and the primitive agricultural cultivation of bitter, slow growing, and undersized grains, fruits and vegetables, the population grew very slowly, but had recently become just centralized enough to support low-skill simple artisan goods and therefore necessitate the organization of tribal councils, all of which promoted interaction and further development between the few-hundred-inhabitant villages that were to be occasionally found across the countryside. The cultural, manufacturing, organizational, and trading leader of these groups, the Ochoco, knew that only the strongest and smartest would be able to rise above the elements and hostile tribes to achieve great things. Thus the collected tribes agreed that it would be worthwhile to pool their intellectual efforts, maintaining food and shelter and a common meeting ground for the wisest among them, so that they could converse and pass on their knowledge to the younger generations. The surrounding tribes, marveling at the increasing success in the Ochocos building, hunting, farming, trading, and manufacturing efforts, began to emulate this tradition in the Ochoco style, further cementing the Ochoco cultural domination of the region.

Carthage
As our armies landed on Sicily we continued to encounter more and more Latins. They surrounded us, asking what we have come here to do. We told them for trade.
"We are traders from the city of Carthage," said the general, "we only seek peace with you people, and a safe haven so we can sell our goods."
The language barrier made it tough to communicate with these people, thier Latin language was much different from the Phoenician language we spoke back home. Days later one of our troops learned, and translated discussions with the locals. They agreed to give us one settlement on the shore, for trade and trade only.
We built on the village and it continued to grow into a town. More and more colonists from Carthage sailed to the Sicilian colony, and overcrowded the populace. Little by little the small trading village stretched its boundries, homes were built farther and farther, until eventually more villages were assembled.
This angered the Romans. Thier "govornator" decided to meet with our main explorer/general and settle terms on the lands of Sicily. They only binded for terms that would move many of the colonists which situated thier homes far away from the first colony that was build years ago. Meeting and meeting and yet not one agreement was settled.
Angered by the stalemate, the Romans temporarily agreed to splitting the Sicilian island into two halves, one for Carthage and one for Roman. All ties after this was closed.
"If one person of Carthaginigan decent passes the border, Rome will be at war"
Tensions grew and grew after this, a war was bound to come sooner or later...

Frustrated by the discovery of the Etruian (OOC: isn't it "Etrurian?") peoples along the Italian peninsula, the Mediterranean people focussed their expansion on the northern regions of the peninsula, settling the city of Genoa as the capital of their new eastern territories.
Nonetheless, the Etruians offered a new trading partner for Mediterranea, and the Mediterraneans were pleased to know that their economy was growing. Because of the presence of civilized people on the peninsula of Italy, the Mediterranea settlement program changed its course, instead expanding northward and founding the city of Burdigala along the western coast.
OOC: Settlement orders changed due to the discovery of Etruia -- settle BOR primarily, though claim as much of LOM and northern ROM as possible.

the lands of Genoa are lands of the italliot peoples, and as such, we cannot let you settle there- we, the nation of the 13 cities, Etruria (yes, that is the correct spelling) the new nation of italia,and the protectors of it from forign powers therefore WILL NOT let you settle those lands unapposed.
we wish to preserve peace- but we will not let you take the lands of our people for it.
