Trade had never been high on the priority list of the Drakun Republic, what with the civil war and prideful people. As such Arch-chancellor Cyk had to admit a certain level of ignorance when it came to specifics on trade and trade routes, fortunately there were quite a few experts to consult with and soon enough a proposal had been drafted.

Drakun-Iroden Treaty of open and secure international trade.

"The nations of The Drakun Republic and The Iroden Empire hereby agree to establish a official lane of trade upon which citizens of both nation and officials from their respective governments may conduct their transactions. Each nation shall only charge up to a maximum tariff of 14% and shall not impose or re-adjust additional taxation upon the merchants. Each nation shall establish 4 state run outposts for the benefit of merchants as a whole. Finally, both nations are required to directly post a minimum of 200 soldiers distributed between the aforementioned outposts and the official lane of trade."

All told, Arch-chancellor Cyk was dubious of this trade lanes supposed benefit to the economy, but again he had never over seen international trade. Assured by the council it was the correct course of action he reluctantly signed the treaty and gave the envelope his seal, should the Iroden Empire do the same he had readied a company of Thunder-Men to begin patrols and construction of the proposed outposts.

A regiment of 1000 Lordy Infantry had already been dispatched south to clear the lands of nomad and barbarian, whether the treaty was accepted, rejected or caught up in politics the Drakun Republic wasen't going to wait for the opportunity to secure temperate farmlands when so much of its lands consisted of tundra.

I could post again, was kinda hoping for a response though.

Jurassic Park: Native Resistance

Ungue still wasn't comfortable with this place, the creators had built it, they built things from stone like this all over the island. Having figured out the door handles shortly after arriving in this place Ungue had forgone sleep to skulk around the other rooms. So far he had found nothing recognizable, just strange creator stuff.

The sound of Natsu getting up broke Ungue out of his paranoid exploration, and he turned back to regroup with the pack. But the feeling that there was something else in this place staid with him.

Looking at his feet to hide his own unsurety, Nathan answered, "I don't like it any more than you do, but our job is to research this planet and without another sample, a sample that the analysis machine can properly break down, we cant do out job. Now, we have an entire new day ahead of us, what should we do?"

@6slyboy6 Confusion on a technological level is understandable, after all I screwed up and had to research weapon tech just two days ago.

@6slyboy6 I'm going to assume the website is failing to update so I'll answer again. Humanity has used oil for thousands of years, with the first recorded oil well being in China during 347 AD. Since this rp is before the industrial revolution oil is not a mega-resource yet, but is still used in a number of practical ways.

@6slyboy6 Humanity has been using Oils since the BC's. Hell, China had an oil wells in 347 AD if its the issue of extraction. I'm not saying my nation has combustion engines, just the oil.

Surprisingly enough it was not the sound of battle or the crashing of hovercraft that woke Errald, but the taste of smoke. Blinking the sleep from his eyes he rose from small cot upon which he had been sleeping and slowly looked around for the source of the taste. Suddenly Errald froze, gaze locked upon the senate building, the center of the chaos. The view from his small apartment didn't let him see the full scene but he was able to watch as soldiers slaughtered the guards.

Barely two minutes later Errald was sprinting down the street, still fiddling with the clasps on his cuirass.

Slowly, but deliberately, the sun peeked out from the horizon, still hesitant to show itself this far north. It was the first sunrise the city of St Drolem in the last three months, the end of winters depth. Arch-chancellor Taniss Cyk watched the light slowly encompass the landscape, first through the thick stone houses, then to what passed for the industrial sector, and finally illuminating the oil fields, where men had worked all through the dark winter to draw the thick crude from the ground. It was no coal mine, but it kept the lamps burning and with a little extra effort the military found use for it.

Turing from the balcony back to his advisers Arch-chancellor Cyk decided he had kept them waiting long enough, "Gentlemen, it has been over sixty years since the unification of this democracy and yet it seems we haven't changed a thing. Today we change that. I have sent a courier to our southern rival, The Irodien Empire in hopes of establishing open trade between our peoples. If successful certain opportunities shall then be open to us, and now that winter is at an end we will be able to send ships to the more distant great powers as well."

The rest of the council remained in Drakun, overseeing the latest batch of enlistees. Most were young men, proud and desiring glory, a few were older, men who had failed to find their calling but still desired purpose, and finally there were those who simply had nowhere else to go. None truly knew what to expect from enlistment, but they would give it their all. Within a few months these men would be soldiers, or employed as menial laborers.

@6slyboy6 Give me a bit to wake up.
