Sindh
Capital: Mohenjo-daro
Ethnicities: 100% Dravidian
Religions: pre-Vedic Hinduism
Government: Isa Council
Total Income: ...-...=..., Treasury: 0
Taxes: ...
Industries: ... (Major Industries: )
Trade: ... (Major trading partners: )
Manpower: ... (allowable army size without upkeep)
Army: ...
Navy: ...
Upkeep: ...
Education System: Apprenticeships (Poor), Cost: ... [determined by manpower]
Infrastructure: Very Poor, Centralized, Cost: ...
Culture: Poor
Confidence: Poor
Projects: None Yet
Description: Sindh is name of both the river and the nation. Bound to the Sindh darya, the Sindh civilization is one of complex cities and great wealth. Due to outside pressures from other civilizations and barbarian tribes, the lords of the various cities of Sindh have united. With the capital at the largest city, Mohenjo-daro, the Sindh lords rule the entire realm as a council rather than each city individually. The fertile lands of the Sindh darya have made the nation exceedingly wealthy, and union has provided security and strength to all the land.
Orders later today.

Okay, story here, I figure it'll count for the update after this one.
Sariscari (n)- Sah-rhis-kah-ree
-A type of galley crafted by the Sariscan people in ancient times, noted for their unrivaled speed and manoueverability, being able to keep pace with even modern warships.
The legendary Sariscaris quickly became the backbone of the Sariscan navy after being developed and put into service. Their speed, over twice that of a normal galley, was due to several features in their construction.
Firstly, these ships were even longer and slimmer than regular galleys, giving them unprecedented aerodynamics.
Secondly, these ships had a main sail PLUS a secondary sail that could be used if the ship was travelling on an angle to the wind, doubling the surface the wind would push.
Thirdly, through a unique gear and pulley system, Sariscaris had TWO rudders, on the front and back. Their ram at the front could swivel along with the main rudder in the back, giving a normally clumsily handling ship (due to its increased length) top of the line manoueverability. This created a tendency for Sariscaris to capsise, but a deeper keel fixed that, at a small cost to the Sariscari's great speed. Newer ships are being consturcted to have easily removable rudders, for fast travel in fine conditions and stability in storms and battles.
With Sariscan naval ingenuity, Sariscaris took very little time to become the most famed vessels in the western Mediterranean.

NK could I still join?
Here's my background:
Mnogobor'e
Ruler/Player: Jihar' the Knyaz/Gelion
Capital: Mnogobor'e
Government: Knyazdom ("Princehood", in reality Monarchy)
Location: Half way between modern Kiev and Moscow
Religion: "Forest Polytheism" with general favouritism to Monotheism
Ethnicities: Slavs, known as "Mnogoborians"
Nation Background: Mnogobor'e is a Princedom locaed in the middle of a forest. Wooden houses, wooden price palace, muddy roads and only developing artisan crafts. Mnogoborians are Slavs by nature - peaceful, nature loving, mostly farmers believing in their Gods and wishing for a quiet life. However they are known for fierce warrior-like attitudes once attacked or insulted. Fist fights are common on even various celerbations.... marking a warrior culture under a peacefull skin. Knyaz and Council of Elders are fearfuly respected and adored, while the people mostly live according to traditions rather than laws.

Question: What is the average time taken to:
•Do the update map
•Actually "know" what the update will be
•Writing the update
•And posting the update.
I'd like to know, because if it is a relativley long time, then most people shouting "UPDATE" are wanting a rushed one.

2. Took me about an hour again.
3. It's taken me three hours so far.
4. Should take like four minutes.

@Gelion- How dare you doubt me! The update is up just to show you, and it took me far less time. Then of course, NK's will probably be of much higher quality than mine. Anywho, never doubt me again!
