I'll get to military in a little bit as well. Omega, I was thinking about forming some sort of coalition of northern states, along with anyone else who would have territory in the north. That's just an idea though.

I plan for my nation to have been subjugated in ancient times by an empire from the peninsula east of me. If you want we could start our history there either with the expanding to your borders and your managing to halt them or also being subjugated and either way working together when they showed weakness.
