@Voltus_Ventus So...we're going with the bomb, right?

Ugh, I'm confused.

@Hael

Yes, we are.

<Snipped quote by Mihndar>I wasn't sure what kind of relations your nation has with Yllendthyr so I didn't risk it.
But yeah, I could.
Might be still better to avoid you just to save my nations from the heavy tariffs you're bound to be dropping on me.

@Willy Vereb

Only slight ones, since we'll be friendly with Avalia by then and higher tariffs = higher prices for them.

And I venture to say air travel is already more expensive than sea.

<Snipped quote by Cyclone>I thought I was the second person who voted for trade dispute.
Yeah, that sounds like a more conservative start.
Alternatively you can have the bombing incident escalating the tension but not quite resulting in anything close to a war.
Then the trade dispute which further worsens the relations.
Especially since I deliberately plan to ignore the embargo and approach Avaria via an air route from the north.

@Willy Vereb

You can go through Kataylabinsk, you know, right?

That's okay. We're not Eisenkreis.

The Sun Will Never Set (A Statisticless NRP)(It had a good run)

The only people that seem to have actually voted are me, Hael, and Cyclone, and it's two for the islands and one for the trade.

Willy and Voltus have both expressed neutrality.

And I would maintain that having the two garrisons fight each other because of a bombing does not equate to full fledged war. It would certainly lead to tension as the two nations sort it out in diplomacy after the event.

The Sun Will Never Set (A Statisticless NRP)(It had a good run)

I'd like to say that I still like the original idea, and that it doesn't necessarily have to start a world war, it can just be what begins a new era of international tension.

So I'm cool with what we have to start out with, and then that other stuff can just be the escalation.

Civilization Roleplay: Rise of Races (The Tribes of Nova Mondial Want You!)

The Cindorayi, Population: 125 (64 Lunysvet, 42 Zemlyarod, 19 Tyrnovuna), Year 15 IL (Inland), Age of the New Moon

(@Elitestpotato)

It was a fairly quiet day in the forest, as seven Cindorayi were chopping at the trees in order to enlarge the path between Lunysvet and the new western village. Suddenly, however, one who was apart from the rest hit the tree and his axe spun out of his hands, flying into the nearby brush. The others chuckled slightly at his mistake, and his fur raised slightly in embarrassment. That Cindorayi, whose name was Kirill, made to retrieve it when he heard strange animal noises. Signaling the others, they quickly grew quiet and made their way over to him.

They spotted through the bushes several large, beastly creatures, one of whom picked up the axe and made coarse, grunting-type noises to the others. They continued to speak in the manner of communication, so the Cindorayi quickly deduced they must be somewhat intelligent, and very dangerous. Quickly delegating by hand signals, one of the Cindorayi immediately began running back to Lunysvet, and the other six emerged from the bushes in a formation like a V to confront the new species.

One of the Cindorayi's greatest abilities is speed, so it would be nigh impossible to catch the runner, especially without advance warning.

Back in Lunysvet, Viktorya, the chief scientist of the Cindorayi, has been leading a few others in experimentation upon the new glina substance, adding different mixtures of dirt and rock to it in order to find out what is the best consistency for making things. This knowledge quickly became useful, however, when Ekatyrina proposed that in light of the discovery of the eastern barbarians, the Cindorayi begin construction of a large stone wall around the town.

Mifan, the staple of the Cindorayi agricultural diet, has quickly been adapted and innovated with, to include different combinations of fish and other plants to add flavor and nutrition. Cooking has in fact become a profession with one member of each of the three villages in charge of preparing food for the rest from what they are provided.

@MihndarI can imagine you instigating a revolt in my western colony which borders your country.
I mean the proud proletariat is being "oppressed" by the rich snobbish nobility who don't even belong to the same race?
It screams for a chance for you to "liberate" them.

@Willy Vereb

Exactly. And that philosophy extends to your entire country.

I'm very inclined to agree with Alfhedil, but I would maintain realism is still something to strive for when it doesn't conflict with player narrative.

Kataylabinsk will start the game with no alliances, as befitting what is largely a rogue nation in the land of old-time monarchies, but will almost immediately begin talking with Avalia and Hambria about forming them. I've already confirmed this with @Skepic but not @thegreenleafe yet.

Between Tiqsimuyu and the Hegemony.

Do note that all I require is a simple star to denote the position of my nation. I'm running a "bastion state" (a fictional title of my own engineering that details a city state of gargantuan size that is globally known for its secondary role as a dedicated military installation) that is home to 20,000,000 souls. Vigor City is its name.

The rest of the land that Vigor City resides within can be left unclaimed.

@ASTA

Inland or on one of the two coasts? I imagine you meant inland, but access to the sea would be important for trade (and is generally more hospitable for sustaining that many people, but that doesn't matter too much).

The Sun Will Never Set (A Statisticless NRP)(It had a good run)

Sounds good to me. But of course I'm biased.

I'd also like to announce my nation sheet is officially 100% finished.
