StKNES5: A New Lease on NES

Update – 1300 AD

Peace is achieved as the Seljuk-Tatar War is closed by the acknowledgment of Seljuk independence. The Kuril’taria government has decided to make a dramatic change to a feudal form of royal government, giving much autonomy to its various provinces and regions. The responses of the far-flung parts of the empire are supportive, but the Tatars in the homeland feel it an abomination to their traditions to give such great freedoms to the outlying provinces.

The new government of Malaysia has begun a hunt for the pro-Nurajid remnants in the military. Most of the pro-Nurajids have been killed in slaughters across both the Australian continent and Malaysian islands.
Throughout Australia and the island Tasmania, the people rejoice as their resistance culminates in the beginning of the withdrawal of the Malaysian troops from combat and the Australian Republic extends itself to rule the continent with the open consent of the people.
Some in Papua are also considering asking for admission into the Australian Republic. The Papuan Grand Tribal Council is planning a meeting to discuss the matter.
MALAYSIA: -3,000 Infantry, -20 Catapults

The Travancori-Afghani war ends as well, the government of Afghanistan accepting the loss of the land east of Indus River. While the Travancoris celebrate the victory (+4 confidence points), the Afghani people mourn and scorn their government for the quick peace (-2 Confidence levels).

Danzig has rejoined Germany, but not of its own volition. Noone welcomed the German duke that came to administer the city-state for the German Empire. Many Danzigers, in defiance, speak the Lithuanian language rather than the German one.

The Zoroastrian branch of the Sassanids has died, and a council of top administrators elected by a slim majority of 60% to accept the Muslim Sassanids living in Iraq to the throne to unite the two countries. Some of the eastern border provinces, primarily Zoroastrian in faith, are rebelling to join Afghanistan. The Zoroastrian League may end now, with the return of one of its three members to Islamic government, and the tensions that are rising between Afghanistan and Persia over the eastern Persian provinces.

Economic downturn hits the Aghlabid and Moroccan empires due to repeated pirate attacks against their coasts. Some speculate that the new arrivals, the Toltecs, are trying to stir the sea, so to speak, to gain empire, while others speculate Israel is trying to distract and weaken their neighbors to maintain its precarious position as the local power. (Both economies fall to Mild Recession level)

The Scandinavians have colonized some land east of the Eastern Aristocratic Republic and Lithuania. They have also paid Kuril’taria 2 economy points for an NAP. Both moves were deplored by the tribal council but the head of the government did not heed the council’s reservations (-1 confidence point).

Another series of anti-Catholic attacks occurs in northern France, and news of this travels quick, throwing the French and Iberian peoples into open revolt, and a few of the Catholic nobles have appealed to the Papacy for help. It is unclear yet if that help will materialize and if so, how. It appears that Lithuania, the Mediterranean Kingdom, and Venezia are all enthusiastic about the independence and rise of a Catholic ally to check the Eirian influence. But no action will be made until the Papal Union decides it should be so. And of course, having Catholic Germany support Franco-Iberian independence would bolster the Catholic side significantly.


NPC Diplomacy

From Croatia and Hungary (separately)
To Byzantine Empire:
We’ve had an alliance for centuries but never trade. How about we start?

Story Bonuses
MALAYSIA: +1 Culture point

Penalties

OOC
Everyone got +2 bonus spending points due to my horrible tardiness
There were penalties, all coincidentally for the same exact issue, but I have decided to negate them, because I was so late with this update. But instead, I will make the following notes to people:
  • justokre – you have no excuse for this: you MUST include in your orders how much of the military unit you will get for the money you’re spending on it. We’ve been over this a dozen times with various people throughout this NES. The penalty for you I’m not going to issue with very high reluctance, because you should know already.
  • lordnickigawa – same issue, though you’re newer so I’m more forgiving.
  • ostegan – again, same exact issue, but like lordnickigawa you’re new to this NES so I guess now you know

Update is COMPLETE.

Absolute deadline for orders is Friday 11 PM US Central Time. People who have government types that need review of orders, please send ASAP and I will be responding w/ the review notes or approvals as soon as I get your orders. Thank you.

Yeah Update!!!!!!

From German Empire
To Eire

We demand that you give independence back to France and Portugal. This is leading to total war in Europe if you refuse. The people of Western Europe obvisouly no longer want to be opressed by your empire and they will continously rise up until you grant them independence.

From German Empire
To Catholic States of Italy and Lithuania

We will give our support for your cause not for religious reasons, but to end the Eirian Tyranny over Western Europe. We purpose an alliance be made to defend the rights of people everywhere in Western Europe.

From German Empire
To Papal Union

We ask that you help the opressed Catholic peoples of France and Iberia and help build a coalition against the Eirians if need be.
 
Yay! Update!

From: Amazonia
To: New Iroquois League

Trade?

@Kamilian: You say that Economic centers are the most common type of special city, but there are only 3 economic centers compared to 8 cultural centers and 10 religious centers...
 
From German Empire
To Danzig

You are revolting against your homeland. We will allow you to rejoin Lithunania as we see what happens to oppressed peoples such as the Catholics in Western Europe.

From German Empire
To Lithuania

We are returning Danzig to your control seeing how the people really feel about being under German rules. As far as we are concerned they are no longer Germans and should not be ruled by Germans.
 
First off, shut up stuipid Germany, you wouldn't even exist if it weren't for me.
Second, I formally quit as I've lost all interest in this Nes. Sorry Kam, I've just been deliberating it a while about the restricting rules, and missing 3 updates had just pushed me out. Eire no longer feels like mine.
 
From Papal Union, Lithuania, Venezia, Mediterranean Kingdom
To Germany:
We agree, and there already is an alliance - the Catholic League - that we can use. Now is the perfect time to initiate it.

From Catholic League
To Eire:
Let go of the Catholic France and Iberia immediately!

From Lithuania
To Germany:
We never wanted a conflict with you, and are glad to see that you respect Danzigers' opinions and are willing to resolve the matter peacefully. Now we can face the Eire issue in solidarity.

From New Iroquois League
To Amazonia:
We will only trade with you if you renounce the trade with New Illinois.

OOC:
yeah about the cities... they're not a problem but yeah economic centers are supposed to be more common yet there's 18 of the other 2 put together, so i dunno... maybe i'll get rid of the special cities (which will mean that there is no need for the trade route lines on the map)

sorry to hear that, tommy_toon
 
Didn't New Illinois undergo a change in government, which is why they haven't attacked their breakaway states? So why would the Iroquois care about my trade with them? New Illinois didn't care about my trade with the Caribbean... :confused:
 
To: Croatia
From: Byzantine Empire

We would be happy to begin official trade with you. We will send our traders to Croatia and will allow yours into Byzantium as well.

To: Hungary
From: Byzantine Empire

We would be happy to begin official trade with you. We will send our traders into Hungary and will allow yours into Byzantium as well.

it's the principle of it
and anyway New Illinois wasn't the one being oppressed - the New Iroquois were being oppressed. why would they be thrilled about you trading with their cruel ex-overlords
 
From: Amazonia
To: Timucua Republic

Trade?
 
From Timucua Republic
To Amazonia:
Agreed to trade.

From Eire
To Catholic League:
France and Iberia are our lands and it will stay that way. Ireland is Catholic but they're happy to be with us; the French and Iberians will, too, remember the good times and cease their disorder.
Don't interfere!

From Eire
To Scandinavia:
We trust that you, our fellow Eirian-rite Christians, will stand by us if the blasphemous leaders of the Catholic nations attack us?
 
From German Empire
To Nations of Europe

We ask that you help drive the imperialistic Eirians back across the English Channel. They are oppressing French and Portuguese alike just because they are Catholic. We ask that you put your religious differences aside to defeat the nation of Eire.
 
Orders have been sent for the next few updates. I'm leaving Friday, and won't be back until the 18th or 19th.
 
From the Illinois Empire
To Eire
The Devotees would like you to remove your holdings from our continent. Our citizens grow uncomfortable with your presence. Please, will you do this for a good trade partner?
 
Eek, sorry about my orders Kam. It just keeps slipping my mind completely, but I'll be sure to make a better effort.
