Wonders:
Notes: Often called the Basques, they are a fierce, independent, prideful people. They used to look mainly inward, but in more recent times they have grown expansionist. Basque whaling ships sail the Bay of Biscay, while armies of their crack infantry storm out of the green mountains to launch devasating campaigns through Hispania and Gaul. Perhaps the precursor to a true Empire...

I suppose we dun need to write stories or send orders for the first update right?

 

[Xen]

it aint an empire if you only got one ethnicty in it I'm tempted to smak it down because of the name (I dilike unrealistic ones, as stressed in the beginning, but not knowing any Basque, I'll give you the benifit of the doubt; provided you let me change "empire" to "Kingdom"

 

[Xen]

@Alex; no stories, or orders needed for the first update; woudl be rather counte rproductive considerign AI've already writin th eposrtions of the update for everyone barring North Kings nation

Euskaran Republic, if you wish. Euskara is the Basque name for the Basque language, and is how Basques identify themselves. Basque is the common name.

its the bronze age northy- I'll let Alex have his Oligarchy, because they are well attested in Mycenaean Greece; but a republic is pushing it too far to begin the game with (I'm planning on being realistic; fair, and generous once the game gets going, but realistic)

 

[Xen]

@Northking- I put up your nation, with a few minor changes; I hope you dont mind them

I mean a Clan based republic. Elect the chief of chiefs and all that.

well, the title of high king fits (the name is taken from the spainard who supposedlly introduced Celtio-Spanish culture into the British isles, I chose him because I was too lazy to look up the exact names for more proper Basques)

and its still too early for that sort of thing. elections of that sort imply that social stratifacation has died down a bit, which in the bornze age, is about the farthest thing from the truth you can find

Not elections. Basically the clans say who should be king, and he who garners the most support wins.

in other words, an election; likelly based on when the previous leader dies, as its too chaotic to have as a reliable institution if, at any point a clan may change who they want as leader; if that were the case, its doubtful anyone woudl stay as the head honcho long enough to have any sort of good effect.

 

[Xen]

I'm deabteign weater to post what I have as the first update, or wait for tomorrow night.

 

[North King]

You've only really covered the last bits of Britain through America, all the NESers from China to Europe will curse you if you post an update now. Then again, if you feel like this is a good amount of activity for first update, post away.

 

[Xen]

well, I cant post the update. I cant find where the hell pawpaws cpaital is supposed to be located, and thuslly need to await for a reply PM from him.

otherwise, i think an update now woudl be valuble for no other reason then show off my update style; I think it will please most.

 

[North King]

Pawpaw's capital is on the Volga, just north of the Astrakhan area, IIRC. Sari was the historical capital of the Golden Horde.

The relatively fertile land and adequate rainfall of this region provide the people of Saba with enough food to sustain a stable population, and a surplus in good years. The Sabaeans eschew warfare, preferring to profit from the lucrative trade of spices, frankincense, myrrh, wool, and other valuable goods.

Start in Yemen.
