I'd be down, but my preference is American Football.
I'm still in this. Hopefully everybody else is, too.

It's a presidential republic so there isn't a prime minister and he would have been elected. The monarchy died a century ago. But I like the character, he seems practical but still proud of his nation.
Word. I'll change the title.

Y'all can negotiate deals between yourselves and NPCs. You don't need to wait for me and espiculeas
And would anyone else be interested in meeting up characters down in the lobby?
Leader CS: The Marbal Empire
Name: Markus Aulerian
Title: King
Gender: Male
Age: 44
Bio: Aulerian was born nephew to the previous King, Cain Aulerian. His education consisted of private teachers and tutors, and his only permissible form of social interaction growing up was with the elite of his nation. Often, he would wander away from the palace and explore the city, casually socializing with the average citizen.
As a teenager, Aulerian's education became more intensive. Combined with his first-hand experience with his people, he began to take a higher pride in his role as a potential heir to the throne. He embraced thoughts of ethnic pride, and became the more favorable candidate to power. The corruptness of his family became no more than a survival technique to him, and he truly thought Marbal was the most powerful nation on the face on the globe.
In his young adulthood, Aulerian's views quickly changed. He became more exposed to the global scope, and became a bit more open and accepting of the world. However, he felt the need to reconcile with his people's views if he wanted to wield power and commit for a better Marbal. So, he put on the facade of the patriot, and continued his personal education.
At age 38, he took the throne to Marbal. He began social welfare programs to change the cultural views of Marbal, planned to progress over the course of the decade.
Personality: Aulerian is a strong-armed leader, expressing himself with conviction in every aspect of his life. He is a typically honest man, only guilty of deceit when he sees it is necessary to achieve something greater. He is abrasive, yet accepting, but often pretentious in his own knowledge.
Once of his favored beliefs is that "intolerance of intolerance is still intolerance".
Appearance: Aulerian is 6'6 and skinny. He has a light-toned skin, long hair and trimmed facial hair. He is considered one of the more attractive people in Marbal.

Can do.
Edit: Also, correct me if I'm wrong, but it sounds like you were referring to the Balkan Peninsula, not the Baltic.

if you need help, I'd be more than willing.
That would be dope. More nations would definitely give a more diverse and defined scope of this world. And, it could give us all some more to play with.
The lobby of the hotel proved to be a popular mixing spot. He spoke to several other leaders who had the same idea in mind, even those who he had never gotten the chance to make acquaintances with. Either powerful, influential, industrial, or wealthy, heads of state from across the globe were present and around him. Many filtered in and out of the conversation, which rapidly evolved as the topic changed between more or less familiar issues. With maybe 15 other fairly powerful men left in their conversational circle, smack dab in the middle of the lobby, Tama invited them over to a more private lounge adjacent to the lobby.
"Whiskey, clean."
Tama took his drink from the bar and walked over to his seat. The seating was composed of large, lounge chairs, wide couches, and coffee tables arranged in a circle. Present were 3 leaders whose states ranked in the Top 10 on the National Power Index, the "Most Influential Man of 2013", and other very notable figures who managed to get caught up in the mere talk of the group.
"Mantrez has surely put New Beginning on the map. Such a small nation, governed through such an idealistic directive, hasn't really captured much attention as a global innovator. Their administration is clearly appealing, and different than any other in the world, but this has definitely given them the publicity they need to promote themselves."
"The entire concept seems a bit cultish. They deny basic human nature and instinct. Idealism is a social construct nature doesn't adhere to. Nature is a finely tuned machine, which we as humans have been working apart from ever since we developed agriculture some 12,000 years ago. Innovation is just man-directed evolution, and we're evolving vicariously through technology at an exponential rate. We've essentially created a new nature for ourselves. But, instinctual elements, such as survival, competition, and fear, can only be done by nature. Unless we somehow technologically alter our brains, after somehow successfully completing a comprehensive map of the human brain, these cannot be inherently separated from us."
"Well, I think it may be a bit harsh to consider Mantrez a radical. True, it does not seem as if anyone in that family are politicians, and their entire system could be compared to a cult, but which politician doesn't take a somewhat extreme stance? Extremism is driven by passion, and passion is what inspires. Clearly, this lifestyle is appealing to 100,000-something individuals. So what if they denounce primitive lifestyles and pure instinct? Mantrez is choosing to move forward. The playing field has changed drastically over the past couple thousand years, and competition has shifted towards technological advances."
The conversation was becoming more interesting. Everyone here had their own opinion, but Tama had yet to voice his. He was much too interested in hearing everyone else out, and he felt all the Sabaean publications were just assumed to be his own voice, even though he contributed next to nothing towards any of the research.
He picked up a cigarette from the tray before him, lit it, and took a drag. "This state is young, and no different than any of our states upon their conception. The foundational ideas may differ, but the practice is all the same. What could be considered brainwashing is just cultural habituation. The ideas Mantrez has may seem radical, but so did many modern ideas when they were founded themselves. This place was and may still be considered a fringe group, but be reminded that we are all still sitting here in normalized luxury with the expectation of innovating the energy industry, with New Beginning as host."
The conversation went for a bit longer, up until dinner. They went their separate ways and Tama opted for a table for one in the hotel restaurant.

No worries. Whenever you can, should be fine.
Word. I should have a post up soon.
