Well, while it's narcissistic of me to say, I can't say I'm exactly surprised Oslad is politically interesting. I've been playing enough Paradox games and working for a Political Science major, minoring in Eastern European history. So politics is a strong point for me.

You guys have some pretty cool nations, I'll admit. I do sincerely hope we get to 1900 so we can see those nations evolve and change.

@Theodorable

Y-y-you think I'm cool?.... YES

The Age of Nations

There we go, post up. I imagine with the new month we send in new orders @Theodorable?

The Oslad Federation

Oslograde, Feburary 3rd, 1836

Upon word arriving in the capital of the massacre of the Jarelians in Murelia the Osladian Federation had to take a side. After many hours of furious debate from both the nobles supporting the status quo and the more liberal oriented calling for denunciation of the Murelians the King took a side...

"Gentlemen, in the early days of our Federation we too saw the ailments that now affect Murelia's southern landscape. We too fought revolts against Holsidanian nationalists that others in foreign lands would call genocide. Yet, our Federation was made stronger in those days of fire and sword. However, we did not burn cities or hunt down ethnic Holsidanians. Therefore, I must say that the actions committed in southern Murelia were barbaric and equal to the crimes the nationalists have committed in their road to this revolution.

Holy Saint Glavidius preached of the right to rule and of keeping the lands in their most natural state, but he also preached of mercy and aiding the oppressed and less privileged. Therefore, as my right as ruler of our fair Federation, I call for fellow Glavidians to cease their aid to the Murelian monarchy and call for a peaceful settlement to this crisis. There has been enough bloodshed and death on both sides within only a single month, if this continues any longer a civil war would tear Murelia apart and cause suffering to both native Murelians and the Jarelian people."

Many said that King Ulgrin had taken a cowardly route, not directly calling for support to either side but calling instead for a peaceful ending. However at the end of the debating the King's words gave relief to both the Jarelian and Murelian supporters within the Federation and kept both ends of the political arena from further anger. There was concern that the King's religious pleading, without support or counsel from any of the Patriarchs in Sarahek, would cause a rift within the Glavidian faith. This was especially true with the issue of many Glavidians following Saint Glavidius's words about divine right and the power of Kings.

<Snipped quote by Chairman Stein>

Please don't tell me that Ottovan V sounds like the governor in Life of Brian.

@Dedonus

No no of course not! Ottovan in fact had a very good friend in the Cowomonwealth named Biggus Dickus!

The Age of Nations

Jokes were banned in the Oslad Federation after someone insulted Ottovan V's silly accent in 1812.

I don't want to post until I see this next update, for reasons.

EDIT: Official canon, there are now two distinct religions. Gladvianism, and the Corthide Church. Gladvians are sexy pagans worshipping the almighty Saint, while Corthides are effeminate God worshippers who wear white cloaks and molest small children.

@Flooby Badoop

>A religion literally based on Slavic Orthodox Christianity with Patriarchs
>Pagan

Please stop stealing my religion and making things up kthnx.

Edit: The reason I haven't done a post is because, at the moment, I have nothing exactly to report on within my nation so once we get some big news I'll actually have something substantial to post.

For those who have yet to post and need some sort of inspiration or format for how to do your IC posts.

WiR is a really good example for those still on the sidelines, thus far it's how I've decided to do my own posts and what not.

The Age of Nations

I am surprised to see Sanguine take Glavidianism as their faith!
