Stories - don't know if that's the case with you or with Alex - help me understand my nation and its ruler(s), and thus help me develop the orders, and thus come BEFORE orders.
Not really.
Orders should come before stories because the stories are a microcism of what's going on in your nation.
For example, the stories I come up with are merely little windows to the life of the people. The people's lives are affected by whatever the idiots up on top (us) do. Unless you fancy writing stories about the past, then orders should come before stories.
Plus, if I wrote a great story and had no bloody orders, the mod will have to make all kinds of random events (good ones no doubt) but the poor sod will have to interpret what I'm trying to do.

Both should come, IMHO. I still think that stories are just as, if not more, important then orders. That's the spirit of NESing as I see it.
When the Elders decided to end the conquest of the Gotars after 200 years of misery and suffering, Lapponia
had expanded from the north of the Bothnian Gulf to the south of what later was to be known as Sweden.
They were not the minor, unimportant little gathering of tribes they once had been, but a powerful, warlike empire, feared by
all. Or so they liked to think.
The expansion led to problems, though. The new neighbor, the Germans, constituted a big threat as they were also known for their warlikeness.
The Finns in the east were also considered to be enemies.
Would the Lapponian army be able to handle an attack, now that they had so long borders to defend?
The Elders decided to start building up the infrastructure in the newly occupied area, to help the failing economy.
The remaining Gotars in the area got more rights during the years, but were still mainly slaves to the Lapps,
and the Elders kept ruling with iron fists.

Uhh, in these kind of NES's, orders are obviously more important...they are what help continue your nation, and in the end, the mod will tie in your orders into an update story...of course its worst to all others who are playing and the mod if you just write orders.
In other nes's, more simpler and story-based, stories come first. but this evolution, it is obvious that orders are more important to the well-being of your nation, and the experience an update can bring.

Hail Divine Emperor!
stories should not count as orders, simple as that. stories are just to show life in your country and should come before orders since it can change a lot of things with a single story... i mean... i invented gunpowder in nk's 3rd nes with a story... 
and because he felt sorry for my nation 
and because he felt sorry for my nation 
Heh, espically since you were at a state of constant war with me while the Mongols fought wars with almost every nation reachable. And the fact that I had two vassal states and just gained alot of money selling things to NPCs.

Nonsense. I gave both sides horribly silly advantages that should never have occured. I might have not been fair, but I was fair in my unfairness.
