Didn't I tell you to change my ruler name?
 
Nation: Zululand
Government: Dictatorship
Capital: Intombe
Ruler: U.K. Kekkonen/andis-1
Economy: ?
Army: ?
Navy: ?
Culture: ?
Education: ?
Wonders: ?
History: Before year 1384bc Zulus were divided into different "city states", waging wars on each other. Peace is almost unknown concept for warlike Zulus, and wars have been fought for many different reasons; territory, recources, slaves, or for war itself. No city state had proved to be strongest, and it seemed that the war was never going to end. But that was about to be changed as only 16-years old boy U.K. Kekkonen :lol: become the leader of one of the smallest city state in Zululand. His neighbours didn't take young promissing general seriously and tried to invade his lands with massive force. In battle of Kollaa young general faced his neighbours army of nearly 20 000 men with his army of 7 000. Dispite these tremendous odds he was victorious, and soon his neighbours were part of his rising empire. One by one he took lands of other city states before defeating united forces of three last (and most powerful) states. In battle of Tali-Ihantala (1385bc) Kekkonen defeated army of 120 000 men with 33 000 of his elite troops, Great Impi warriors(UU). These Warriors were armed with 2m long spears and short swords, and their huge shields protected them against enemy arrows. They were fierce warriors in melee combat and they didn't care about enemy numbers because of their unwawering faith in their leader.
After Battle of Tali-Ihantala Kekkonen had at last unified country torn apart by needless wars, and people of Zululand expect new age of prosperity and wealth.

We would like to end the possibility of future war between our two kingdoms by a definative non-agression pact. We are both of the strong Celtic Stock and should not fight one another. I also would like to enter into trade with your country to better both our wealth.
 
- And came Tonsang to Huong-li.
- And saw he the great city.
- And saw he the great people.
- And the people were great, yet ignorant.
- And they were ignorant of his teaching.
- And so they rejoiced when he came.
- And so he said:

---

"...we must reach enlightenment, all of us, for then we will transcend into superior beings, beings beyond ordinary human nature! We must understand the whole greatness of the world, the Island and the people on it, the Sea and the fish in it, the Sky and the birds in it, the Time and the suns in it. Time goes by, lands rise and fall, and squabble amongst themselves, I saw them all, and held them in scorn for they disagreed with each other and fought over such petty disagreements, and killed each other, and all suffered and none prospered nor wisened from it, which is why we must keep to the Island, our blessed Island, the Holy Land of Tai-Wan..."
- "Tonsang scribes" as translated by modern archeologists.

---

"...it is believed that the "Tonsang scribes", as they are called, were one of the foundations of the modern teaching of Tonsangism... they are attributed by the more religiously-minded to "Tonsang", "the Teacher" whose existance or nonexistance is yet to be proven... Finally, I am advised that the expedition should now investigate the old burial sites in the center of the island, to check the "mutant panda" hypothesis about the "polar bear bones" found there."
- From the report of the Taiwanese expedition.

---

Orders:
- Grow education.
- Create the religion of Tonsangism (see story. It is a considerably more militant and more isolationist version of Buddhism).
- Persuade all of our people to convert to Tonsangism. Those who don't like it will... well, we will build one boat, for an exception, and strand all of them on the Pescadore islands (they aren't contagious), and then destroy that boat again. All on the Island must be in agreement with the Teacher!
- Commence attempt to achieve enlightenment. :lol:
 
"An Irishman cannot live without a Scotsman"

Watch what you say, Communisto might conquer to get a life-supply of scotsmen. ;)
 
OOC: god damn it, i shoulda read the rules more carefully, okay mr. scotsman-whos-real-smart, scrap the non-existant trade, but will you accept the NAP?

IC:

The Great Ard-Righ of Ireland declares the entire Island of Eire his domain and the property of the Gaelic people. Any foreigner who claims land in Ireland will become an enemy of the Gaelic Race. Such an action will be taken as a declaration of war. You have been warned.
 
Taiwan says that it has an ancient claim to a small bush somewhere in the middle of Ireland. Taiwan would like to see what will the Irish do about it. Taiwan says, nyah nyah nyah.
 
Days continued to pass in Astile ever hundreds of years since the army reformation.

OOC:
Azale I need you to change my army. I'll talk to ya on AIM.


The army continued to grow in order to battle other Astile factions that wished to rule the lands, but none could oppose the new kings of Astile that brought order and strenght to Astile. Already all of northern Astile was udner the rightfull hands of the Tasm dynesty. All the grouth and new strenght were apealing for the kings but as the army power and lands grew the economy suprisingly dropped! It dropped like nothing ever seen in Astile before. While it havn't hurt the common men yet, they got money from the country... but the country money... Well that has been lowering since the first army was created... And soon the country will have problems to control it's army...

Well thats where King Sawir the 2nd came with an idea in 1421BC.
The country give the people country, and they pay taxes, but somthimes their taxes are too low to be able to support the money the country gives them, and they still control their own resources and so the country loose to the people too much. Too much. At the beginning Sawir thought of lowering the money people get from the country and making taxes a bit higher. That didn't worked and only angered the people of the capital who were the first and only people to hear of this. So he thought with his advisors for 3 whole years and 1 year befor his death he made a change in Astile. A new economic system.

Each familiy in the country will have some lands of their own. They could buy from the country more lands if they wish. People who don't work will be found with works from other people or will work for the country helping producing more resources, raw metarials and finished products. The country could than more efficiently work it's economy.
Each familiy that work for itself will give the country 1\4 of all it's makings (be it in money or in products). Another 1\4 each familiy must sell the country for half the price. The rest is theirs to do as they wish.
Each family except for some lands also recieve some money every some time from the country in order to help support them a little bit more.

All the new money and resources reaching the country will be used by the country for it's own needs. Army, economy, science support and most of all, trade. Yes trade is a must which Sawir decided to bring to Astile. As no lands routes existed from Astile to other places yet the King ordered that soem propeganda should be made so people will join the navy... Astile needed a navy for trade with countries from away in the seas.

to Galicia:
What is Iron age? Would you share us with it's ideas so we could trade?
 
The People of Taiwan forget that they need to have ships to talk to people outside their little kingdom....Quite a lot of messengers drown as a result of this policy...

Bah! I, Tonsang, the Teacher of the Taiwanese People, can use the "OOC" tag to communicate with anyone I want, anywhere I want, anywhen I want, tariff-free! So there.
 
From: Galicia
To: Astile

Of course, if you can promise a trade route upon Iron coming to your ports...
 
to Galicia:
We shall do our best. (next turn we shall open the trade)
