Province of Makumbe-Headquarters of the NPS Berko had called for his Venezuelan adviser, mister Juan de la Fuente a man with connections and with some tendencies to preach about the great of Venezuela and its great leader Hugo Chavez, although, that only happened when he was drunk enough to once again care more about his country than money, yet he was a valuable asset for Berko, one that he would need to keep in order to fund his political career.
He had called him in order to establish a plan to contact people that could be interested in supporting his political career in Samgola, for Berko knew that he would not last much, without support from somewhere, not against the already established parties of Samgola, that while for their many faults and errors, still possessed more power than him at the moment and most importantly they had won a great deal of the minds of the Samgolan population, minds, and hearts that he would conquer sooner than later.
Thus Juan de la Fuente and a couple more of his advisors started to make calls and approach some groups, first a call to a friend then to a friend of a friend and so on, this would not be exactly an easy and short process but it had to be done, the question remained that at what cost would that support be given.
With everything arranged it was but time to wait and see who approached the NPS.
Province of Mukambe
The NPS had started in Mukambe and it would expand in Mukambe first and then expand to the surrounding provinces, or at least that was the idea. He had prepared himself to give several speeches around Mukambe starting at his home city in Akouzine and ending his tour in Ikorin. It was here in Mukambe that he would preach about what values the NPS stood for and made it so that the people would know that first, the NPS was against abortion not only because of religious reasons but because it was morally wrong to end a life for the right to life should always outweigh any individual right of a person, but also he argued that in some cases medical emergencies it was necessary for if both mother and child could not be saved in case of medical complications, it was better to save one than none at all. He would also talk about the negative effects of abortion not only on the country as a whole but also on the woman that goes through an abortion, he would also speak that the NPS stood clearly for the rebuilding of the military, for a strong Samgola required a strong army, navy, and airforce to protect itself, and not rely on foreign assistance to maintain order.
Finally, his plan, after all, that was to start recruiting people to join in the NPS's activities such as campaigns and marches should the need arise.
Nambe TV News
The day had come for the Berko to appear in a television channel of the province of Nambe, he was about to record a message for the people of Nambe to hear, a message about the need of establishing a minimum wage in order to assure that even a poor Samgolan could afford his basic necessities in life. He once again read his lines preparing himself to give a good speech in front of the camera, it started like this.
"Brothers and Sisters of Samgola............and thus we the NPS believe that with a minimum wage every hard-working Samgolam will no longer worry about not having enough to eat the next day, thanks."

Berko Tendaji Pretorius was not a man of humble beginnings he had been born in the countryside of Samgola true, but he lived in a manor owned by his Christian father who inherited the land and made it to a quite profitable business, but much unlike his father, Berko wasn't interested in profit for even with the luxuries he had at his disposals, he had a special interest in the people who worked under his father, they were mostly farmers and labourers from the countryside, some young and some old. He more often than not made friends with them regardless of what his parent thought of it, he often helped them when they really needed it, but the truth behind Berko's generosity and compassion was not from pure altruism but rather from a desire to cope with the fact that his mother had died because of the avarice of his father, Berko's mother wasn't giving the best treatment for her illness that resulted in her death, which has generated a resentment to his father that lasts to this day.
Berko was sent by his father to a university in the United States of America to study business so that he could help his father with his business when he returned for professionals in Samgola were scarce, mostly because of the government's nationalization policies. He stayed in the States for six years before returning to Samgola, but barely a few months after his arrival, the civil war started, he saw fit to leave the country for a while, but his father refused to leave his manor, money, and lands. So while Berko left for Venezuela, his father stayed in the country.
As the civil war ended, Berko was now able to return, albeit when he reached the capital, he was notified that his father had died during the war because of a disagreement with the local militia, however, the manor and his lands were still his, thanks for some of his old friends influence in the militia. He did return to the manor, only to find it desolated, while the nearby village had just started to rebuild. Berko then decided to rebuild for the sake of the village and its people, and that's what he did in the start, however, when the political situation and all manner of problems started to become clear in the country, he saw that he needed to take action, he then sold his lands and manor, using the money to establish his own party with people that he had met in States, Venezuela and some of his father's contacts in Samgola.
His ideology was mostly to support the people, heal the wounds of the past and make sure that Samgola prospered and achieved its true potential. Thus the Nationalist Party of Samgola was born, a party that would fight like a lion for the people, if only things were so easy......
Only after some time had passed since the attack lizards, the Antari people could start to once again focus on improving their lands and livelihoods, and once again they turned to the improving their yields and have enough food for everyone. Amari Asto, took notice of this and decided to support their efforts, this time he decided to call once again of Manco, the man who knew many things that he did not and once again he used his knowledge for the good of the Antari. This time, he decided that getting some domesticated animals would be useful for their after all, meat was important if they wanted their sons to grow strong and their warriors to have enough strength to face off the possible Lizard attacks in the future.
Soon enough, he and a group of scouts went to take note of what animals they could try to domesticate in this island.
X.-) Explore
Amari Asto, knew that working with other nations would be the best possible course of action if they wanted to finish off the threat of the lizards when the time came, cooperation was something that had also been very important back in their homeland to avoid wars and to fight common enemies like pirates and the like, with that in mind, he decided to send an expeditionary group to where the other human settlement was supposed to be, as gifts, they prepared some food and ornaments. Hopefully, they would be able to convince them to help each other, if they even found them.
The days in which there was peace were now long over and they now knew that warfare would be quite different from the one the where used to back on their homeland, back there warfare was an affair of dozens of thousands, with soldiers moving at the unison of the voice of the general and his officers, but here every man had to think quick and smart if they wanted to live. The Antari took quick notice of this and they decided that it would be better to start to focus on improving the military might of their small kingdom. This time the one assigned for this task was Rano Rancor because of his intellect that was fit for the task of reverse-engineering the crossbow for the use of the Antari, he would be helped by Manco, who had also shown quite the interest on the crossbow.
X.-) Try to get the Lizard to Talk
In the meanwhile, Amari Asto would focus on trying to get more knowledge about the Lizards and for this he decided to speak to the captured lizard, he would use one of the tactics that had been most used back in his homeland and that was that of etiquette and diplomacy, and of course some bribing and show of force so that the Lizard either became loyal to his new master or died.
I am back and ready to continue playing the Antari
Nation: The Kingdom of Antari Represented Color: Yellow Race: Human Capital: Pachacamac Ruler: Amari Asto Type of Government: Absolute Monarchy Religion: The people of Antari have worshiped the Sun for many hundreds of years it is in their culture , tradition and way of life to worship the one that gives them light, he asked only for worship , sacrifices and to follow the rules that he had communicated to the priests. Most sacrifices often involve burning the sacrifice and there has never been a human sacrifice for the Sun as it was never required by it.The role of priests is often given by the Supreme Priest a position considered foreign to politics but that sometimes intertwines by greed and ambition.
Geographical Location:
History:
The kingdom of Antari comes from a continent far away unknown to many , the lands of said continent are dominated by very powerful empires of men , the landscape may look inhospitable at first because of the many mountain chains that are found within it , but when one gets inside the continent one can find many green valleys and cities which would seen to defy gravity , as it's designs are very daring to nature, after all not many make cities near mountains and that look like a staircase. The people work in commune and serve their kings in commune , there is a heirarchy and social classes , but they are not static as there have been many cases of peasants that because of their skill had been ascended by their lords to the lower nobility.
But Amari Asto is the one that has decided to leave the continent , in search for a place to carve a kingdom of his own , as the third son of one of the emperors, he knew that he would never get to sit on the throne of his father and so inspired by tales of men that explored the world and his own curiosity and ambition , he asked for his father to support him in the exploration and colonization of new lands , his father accepted as a way to show him his love but his brothers saw as a way to get rid of him , as it has been common "tradition" between brothers to kill eachother for the throne something that Amari Asto didn't want to participate in.
It took him to prepare for the voyage three entire years , as he had to gather people and resources for it, but finally the time came and he set sail towards unknown waters, sadly and like many other stories , a storm hit Amari's fleet sinking several small vessels, thankfully they were saved by a nearby island that would lead them to a new continent, however , by the time they landed the ships were useless and a lot of the cargo was lost. The only things they were able to retrieve from the ships besides the wood was some fancy clothes , some tools and the personal banner of Amari Asto.
Morale was low but in a moment of inspiration Amari Asto gave a speech to his people and how they would make their own kingdom a new kingdom which name would be Antari in honor to one of legendary emperors that started Amari's civilization back at home.
2. Head of State & Age: King Alcides Narváez (Age 32)
3. Political Alignment during the Most Atrocious War: Neutral Nation.
4. Culture:
The Kingdom of Hermasia has a culture and history all of its own, being an independent and neutral nation for most of its history. During its history, there have been many threats to its sovereignty but those were fended off sometimes by military strength, sometimes thanks to diplomacy and sometimes by pure luck. This sovereignty has led to the existence of a very nationalistic society, that tends to remain somewhat isolated from outside currents, not totally of course because then Hermasia would no longer be a country. For the most part, the power in the country is retained by the King and the royal family, who are the symbols of unity in Hermasia, often making appearances on military parades or the like.
In culture, Hermasia is like a vault of old times with new times. One good example of this would be the mix between the traditional red and black dresses of the women, and the more modern white dresses. That ends up with a very traditionally adorned dress that the women dress daily, but that still is modern enough for use outside the country. Music is more of the same and while traditions and festivals are deeply rooted in Hermasia, modernity has also taken its toll as cars and factories, have changed the clean landscape of the kingdom.
History wise, Hermasia has a long history of knights and lords, who valiantly fought off invaders and married ladies from other countries. This tradition has now devolved into an aristocracy that follows the king like their ancestors always did. Castles and other relics of the past, that would otherwise be forgotten and unused, are still in use in Hermasia with many aristocrats clinging to traditions of olds and forming their little retinues around themselves. Even if they no longer have any power.
When it became clear that war was coming to the continent, Hermasia made a clear decision to remain neutral in those foreign affairs. Even if it hurt the position of Hermasia, the king would not sacrifice the blood of his people for a war that he knew would cause great pain and change the world forever. After all, Hermasia had retained most of its custom and core values from long ago, there was no need to risk it for some foreign cause.
Now that the war is over, Hermasia continues to stands proudly on its area of the world has escaped from the brutality and cruelty that the war had brought to the countries that were part of it. But even as the world changes around them, Hermasia doesn't and while they take from outside what the seem necessary. The country is, after all, a relics on its own right.
