Sorry I'm late! I didn't lose interest I was just pissed off because I made half a sheet of great things and then my browser just said "ey lmao" and crashed.

If you do end up going with the western spot, don't feel at all obliged to relinquish that island colony we had in common. It would be a good plot device.

So now that my location has been set, anyone want history with me?

@ClocktowerEchos

Sounds good. You're still pretty close to me with the Eastern claim, so I'd also be willing to write history with you.

How about somewhat hostile relations and a history of our nations sending privateers and pirates against each other? Historically Japanese pirates were a thing and they caused hell for Korea and some other nations on the Pacific, so it would fit with Yamatai's theme. Voltus even mentions a history of pirates plaguing Ventium before they modernized their navy and secured the coastlines, maybe those could have been your pirates?

-Has flash back to another NRP-

I'll accept the fact that Yamatai Pirate raise hell on high waters for other nations, but they aren't privateer or hired by the Domain. It could be that Yamatai lacks the resources to deal with them or simply doesn't care. Also, given the time period, I would think that pirates have very little influence in this age since Yamatai would also have created some rule during/while modernization that prohibited most people from carrying weapons on them. :l

I'll try for a sheet tonight. I have a lot of work and lots of other RPs waiting so sorry for the inactivity!
