StKNES5: A New Lease on NES

(I wasn't saying you were defiling anything or demanding a change; I just disagreed with the start and opted to mention my discomfort with the lack of a grey zone. I'm fine with it either way really, since it's a game. Same thing goes for sci-fi, fantasy gods and all that. It's hardly possible to defile anything in a game.

Hmmm... I wonder if there'll be any complaints around Mohammed & the book. Probably not any muslims playing the game.)

Ummm, my story doesn't really qualify to your standards I guess: All I really did was tell me people to: 'Respect yourself, you're a bunch of winners' multiplied by about seven times the number of words. It's on the page with the update...

ooooh, I just had a look
perhaps you thought it was diplo. since it's addressed to 'the people of Illinois' I as the leader of Illinois still consider my people to be Illini just as much as Old Illini. The name ''New' Illini' is simply in order to differentiate between our; according to the Old Illini: brotherly tribes.
As the leader of the 'New' Illini I do not consider my 9/14 of the Illini tribes to be anything more or less then normal Illini tribes. There is no 'Old' and 'New' Illini in my mindset. Only Illini who left to kick ass and Illini who stayed behind. What my people thinks might be different thing of course.

And huuray on the success of our people and our project... I should probably put this in a story instead.
 
To Carribean Empire

We want two gold of income for the slaves, to be paid in advance. Last time your ships came to our harbor it was not out of friendly intent. We shall sign our defensive alliance if these conditions are complied with.
(That's a total of 1 eco. of tribute/-compensation + 2 eco. for the Iroqouis: you're getting a major population boost here, for a total of 3 eco. point - wow, that's a lot of money... but it should be worth it if there's a good number of them left. Not to mention the treaty. I'll be obligated to defend you if mr. Aztec gets to be more aggressive then he is right now... although currently he IS bogged down with thrifty Mayans.)

PS. Are you sending an escort? I'd recommend it; I certainly don't have the adequate number of ships to ensure the safety of your transports. Hmmpff, not that I'd offer free escort for THIS kind of cargo. Then again you have been the only pirate in the area so they should be safe unless the Mayans or Aztecs are pitching it about in our waters.

They'll be yours soon to deal with but remember to assimilate them (or at least integrate them) or I will be very unhappy as a new Iroquois society would negate much of the purpose behind my actions for the last 10+ rounds.
 
To: Mayan Empire
From: Aztec Transitional Government

Our Gods demand blood and reparation. We shall give you one last chance to join yourselves to our mighty nation. Your warlord may even keep provincial control, if he'd like. Join us, and gain schools, temples, libraries, roads, trade, advancement in agriculture and mining, even sanitation. Refuse us, and your cities will burn and your race will be bred into non-existance. Your leaders will be sacrificed to the Gods, and your children will be slaughtered.

The choice is up to you.

Emperor Itzamec II
 
Don't forget to send us some statues and things to help our education; I'll be happy to return the favor if I increase mine above your level. :-)
 
To: New Illinois
From: Aztec Transitional Government

Friend, we shall be sending scholars and clerics to your Empire to exchange knowledge and wisdom between our glorious nations.

From Western Papua
To Malaysia:
You expect us to just pack up and leave our homes? What if someone told you to leave your homeland just because some power-hungry, land-starved foreign tyrant wanted your land under their control? Would you just leave?
We thought you would stand up and defend us, but alas we were wrong.
It's a sad day indeed when the independence of a nation is being squeezed out by two neighbors who claim to be promoting liberty and freedom, politically (democracy of GDC) and religiously (Balism of Malaysia).
We'll fight, and whether we win or lose, we will remember your cold attitude towards our liberty.

From France and Belgium
To Eire:
We will gladly attend to take our minds off the catastrophes of the continent.

From Saxony
To Eire:
The lands we have are our own. Brandenburg does not exist.
Also, note that you are bringing people into your Parliament from the land (Denmark) that you have occupied from the Bulgar Empire - a land that was also part of the long-defunct Brandenburgian Empire.
Your words are hollow.

From Mayan Empire
To Aztec Empire:
We have told you time and time again that we will not join you.
Get it through your thick heads.

OOC: Yes, I did think it was diplo, Toteone.
 
From Eire
To Saxony
You feel our words are hollow? Perhaps you will think differently next time you hear a person of Eire speak, particularly the soverign lord.

To Portugal
We wish to once again posess a trade route with your nation, will you agree to this?

To France
We have long been allies, let's strengthen our ties even further by establishing trade.
 
The sky could not be seen
The horses hooves were a thunderous roar
And then the sky cleared
And many of the Chosen died of the arrows
But never did these words leave their lips:
"Shema Yisroel Adonai Elokainu, Adonai echad
Baruch shamekvod, shamekvod malechutov, layolam vaed"
"Here oh Israel, the Lord is our G-d, the Lord is one
Blessed be the name of His glorious kingdom for ever and ever."
As the martyrs fell
The survivors spread
They told the story of the martyrs' death
Spread far and wide
"Remember those who said the Shema as they died"
This is now what the martyrs say when death arrives
 
To: GDC
From: Malaysia

Have the people of Western Papua not suffered enough!? They speak the truth in saying that our actions are hypocritical. Why you would even desire to have that small piece of land that doesn't wish for foreign rule is inexplicable. If you need a fair vote, we have a solution. Bring together the entire population of Western Papua who cares about this issue together in a clearing outside of the capital. Have those who support independence walk into town. Have those who wish to become part of the GDC to remain.

True, this system will cause some problems, primarily the alienation between the two groups. But if the election results are as accurate as we believe them to be, this problem will be minimal.

GDC, we don't want a war any more than you do. But should you take this nation by force, we will defend it. At very least allow a vote to take place.
 
To Malaysia
From The GReater Democratic Commonwealth.

If you so as look as interfering in sovereign Commonwealthian territory in the Greater Democratic Commonwealth State of Western Papua we shall take it as a decleration of war and act accordingly.
 
To Carribean Empire from New Illinois

Very well, we have exacted a great toll on your economy lately.
We shall make no further demands, even to the point of not haggling.

Story
In the gritty highlands of New Illinois a new breed of warriors were being raised, as usual. The Illini leadership had realized that not only was there a necessity to field a strong army for foreign wars of vegeance and bloodletting but a permanent defence force must also be established to ward of foreign interference and oppertunism in times of trouble.

History was full of examples of nations, clans, empires and tribes who had let down their borderguards to rush to the defence of their people or something more illustrious; a rightous cause!

The Aztecs had once been attacked to the north when they fought the Mayans to the south, but the mighty Illini people had no need for a foreign example of history. Once upon a time the Iroqouis fiends had existed to the east of the Illini borders. The stench of their offerings to the many small gods of the Great Lakes and had disgusted the God of the Great Lake and his Children. They had not recognized the Godfather, heralder of all things wise, good, brave and strong. The wise men and soothsayers had travelled to their lands to warn them of their impending doom but they had refused to listen! Aye, at one time they had even booted out the high folk saying that their own gods were just as good as anything else.

And then we attacked; slaughtering any and every one of their filthy men, women and children we hoped to teach them a lesson. It was well imparted and they did not attempt a counter offensive.
However the Sioux had promptly seized our holy grounds, territories imparted to us from the God of the Lakes and His Children. Today we must once again impart military to expand to the northeast, southwest and to aid our friends to the southwest. We remember now a lesson that has led to the culmnination of a new warrior branch in the Illini military.

(not attempting a UU, but a citizens watch)
The Illini Urban Militia (Urban Militia)
The Illini Highlanders and (guerrila)
The Illini Borderwatch (borderwatch)
These men, loving of their nation would be volounteers, and every now and then good people who had to serve for an hour or two a week for the safety. They would get favors in their society; mainly dibs on new land. Iroqouis valuables had been seized by the state (am I getting those 4 eco. points?) and Illini High Saints as rewards.

It was GOOD to be Illini! Life was rarely pleasurable now that the limits had been hacked to pieces, those disgusting Iroqouis with their confederacy and their Ontarians.
 
To Isreal
From Madagascar
We will leave 100 soldiers to defend Socotra. We also feel that we should send 200ish soldiers to defend your homeland, if that is okay with you?
 
To Mdagascar
From Israel
The King and Knesset recognize your offer and more than greatful. All we ask is that the soldiers sent to defend the Isralite homeland be sent to liberate the Arabia province. May he who revivist the dead and sutainest the living guide the Malagasy in all their evdeavors.
 
Emperor Itzamec II surveyed the grand city of Tenochtitlan. Over the centuries it had grown massive, spreading beyond the wildest dreams of its creators. Marvelous stone walkways led to the great step pyramids of the gods, and above them all, the Shrine of Quetzalcoatl. Now, erected in the Public Square was a new monument, a tribute to the Eagle Warriors who now comprised almost half the standing army. Brave and heroic troops, they were, bringing victory on the front lines for the glory of the Aztec Empire.

"Emperor, it is time," a voice came from behind Itzamec II.

The Emperor turned to face his cultural advisor, Mecoatl. "Is it? Very grand. Our forebears would be quite happy of this momentous occasion." Itzamec II followed Moatl into the Council Chambers.

Itzamec's six greatest advisors sat around an ancient table, all looking ancient in their wisdom. They nodded politely and friendly to the Emperor, knowing what was about to occur.

"My council, and close friends. Today marks the day when the great Aztec Empire takes its greatest step forward. For a century, our scholars have worked on making this great nation greater, and today we shall see the fruits of their labors. For today marks the day when we shall give voice to the people.

"New maps are being provided to the populace and all government offices as we speak. Our nation will now be divided into three provinces. I am told that the North and South provinces have already decided on their town council and provincial councils. The Mayan province is, well, a little busy right now. But the Military Council of Generals is preparing the newly conquered lands for their own elections.

"You, my dear friends, have been selected by the people to ruled over the Capital, in council. The Gods have elected I stay as Emperor, to be advised by you. Together we shall make the nation greater than ever before!! Our orders will now go to the provincial governors, who will then enact them to the greatest efficiency of his province. In this way, our orders will be carried out more efficiently and quickly for all.

"In time, we shall allow the people more freedom than to just decide on local issues, but our nation is not yet ready for that.

"I am also told that Yotatl has completed the new code of laws. This is a great achievement that details all the laws from Tenochtitlan. It has already been distributed across the nation. The greatest achievement is that none, even your Divine Emperor, are above the law."

Itzamec II looked around at his advisors, all who looked quite pleased with the new developments. Perhaps that had thought he would prevent progress. Perhaps they thought he would grasp for more power than originally intended. It did not matter, for when the gods spoke (and they did, to Itzamec), one listened.

And as news of the completed transition reached the North and South Provinces, the people rejoices. They knew now that their voices mattered (at least on local issues), and were joyous that the Emperor was divinely selected by the Gods (yes, all of them). A new age was passing on to the Aztec Empire... excuse me.. the Aztec Imperial Republic.

And so it was written.
