OK, Fin. Happy to see you 
.
OOOH! I forgot about nations that start out landlocked! OK. Whichever nation starts w/ a capital that has no access to sea, instead of 10 Canoes, they get an additional 100 troops at the beginning to compensate. Sorry - I totally forgot. So, Fin, isntead of 10 Canoes you get 100 troops extra, as does whoever joined as landlocked (unless, of course, they start out w/ a mapped river VERY VERY close to ther start position, such as Babylon - on the banks of Tigris River).
From this point on, whoever else wants to join: Pick an NPC, which will be posted in the NPC Nations section on the front page shortly

STORY:
Tsongkapa and his tribe had been travelling for a long time in the mountainous lands of what became later known as the Kunlun mountains. They had came from the southeast, travelled through the hardest passages of the Himalaya-mountains over the past decades, even seen the great peak which would later be known as Mount Everest - and finaly they had landed up here, in the north, in the valleys that are protected by the Kunlun mountains forever and ever.
When Tsongkapa's tribe entered these lands, they had no intentions of staying there. But plans change, and so they did this time: for Tsongkapa was known for his capability to know what was conventional and what was truly important.
"Hold on!" he yelled to his tribe when they were passing one of these valleys.
He stopped and he listened to the ground, the wind, and the mountains. He didn't look at them as peaks of mountains, because that was what one might call "conventional"; they were peaks because people had been taught so.
But Tsongkapa knew better. He didn't look, he listened. He listened and listened.

..and there was nothing but silence.
"Good", he said. "In these hard lands we will find our true selves. People! I know that we were planning to travel further, but we need to realize that our roads change all the time, they have to. This road has ended, a new one will now begin. The eternity speaks through these lands, and these mountains will give us eternal protection from all outside threats. This is where we are supposed to be. Now, people, we shall begin great programs of meditation to get our souls accept these lands, like they are accepting us with their silence."
The people didn't cheer. They were all silent, so silent that you could have cut the silence with a knife. And they all remained silent for one full week. That way they showed respect to their leader. And one week later, they announced that they would name Tsongkapa their lama, a word which means "Spiritual Teacher" in Tibetese. It was the highest possible title a man could get.

ORDERS:
-Grow education
-Start a wonder, "the Meditating Temple of Lhasa", gives 2 education and 200 soldiers.
-Expand to all direction from Lhasa with all men, the plan would be to (either now or in the future) cover the mountains of Tibet.

Kamilian, please fix my civ entry on the first page (I'm landlocked, so I get 100 more soldiers and no navy).

Olaf strode through the encampment. It was pitiful. Women were giving birth atop piles of hay, children were sleeping in rags on the ground. Men were eating things out of the dirt, anything they could find to keep themselves alive. Olaf's wife had just suffered a horrible case of pneumonia that had left her clinging dearly to her life.
"Oy, Sven!" called Olaf, as he started walking towards his friend.
"What do you want, friend?" Sven shouted back as the two friends shook hands.
"This place is terrible, people are dying of starvation and freezing to death. We must leave immediately," said Olaf, as he walked to the edge of a cliff with his friend, "See that? That is the beautiful coastline, with majestic fjords, abundant in fish. We should settle there, rather than in this desolate mountain land."
And so goes the tale of Olaf and Sven, two friends who led the Vikings to Bergen, on the west coast of their land, and a great city was built, a monument to the survival and the tenacuty of the Vikings, and of course to two friends who helped the people to find this place.
ORDERS:
Expand south along the coast with 150 men
Expand north along the coast with 150 men
Expand east into the mountains with 100 men
Protect homeland with 100 men
Grow economy by promoting fishing and helping the industry get started

After years of global nomadic migrations, about a dozen groups have settled down to form permanent homes - nations. They are each led by leaders with ambition to someday rule the known world. Across Africa, Asia, and Europe, these leaders have set up the first cities of their new nations - the capitals.
Already a few have begun working on their infrastructure, while others concentrate on military or naval might. The first known expansion has begun, and a few of these new nations have begun building their first hallmarkrs of their culture - wonders.
In Europe, southern Prussian villages are burned into charcoal by mysterious bands of thugs and barbarians from the south. "Coincidentally," Bavarians and Prussians make first contact.
First contact has also been made between the Assyrians and Babylonians in the Middle East.
OOC
Short update cuz it's the first one. About the map, if you ordered any expansion, you DID expand, don't worry.
Now orders: I got nice stories from Jason, but no orders. Since he at least did stories to indicate that he really are interested in remaining in this NES, I am not going to put him as NPC. But AnarchyRulz? I'm gonna put a question mark next to his name on the Nation Stats. If no orders come for the next update, then Prussia is NPC.
Wonders are listed on the front page.
More NPC Nations will rise within the next 2 or 3 turns.
GHOST, I ignored the "500 men w/ settlers to the North" order - you only have 500 men and you already sent them to either protect London or to expand west.

Wow, I cant believe i forgot orders... I guess i subconstiously thought I did them with my story...
Anyways, Kamlian, may I suggest you use other tactics to draw the map? Instead of trying to draw it all with marker or something, draw with the pencil the border of the country, and then fill it all in with the filler tool. It will look a LOT better. Oh, and black wouldn't be bad around the nations, though harder to update.
