PM sent. Feel free to haggle- I made it deliberately high.
What's your total average surplus output, agriculturally? Enough to feed twenty, thirty, forty million people? Higher?

Hmm...
Great. I'll be sending a reply shortly. To industry and trade!
Okay, how about this: the Asguhstas and the M'azael were originally part of the same proto-nation (like the Celts all being the same 'nation', but still operated in different kingdoms). Then there was a war; I suggest that the M'azael had split off from the religion the Asguhstas had pre-Baruk conquest, and this created a schism between the two that eventually escalated to war. The M'azael lost and were forced into exile in the far north, humiliated and almost wiped out by the war.

Some time later (I was thinking around the time the M'azic Empire- the precursor to my Solaran Administration- started dividing into separate states) a new religious order is founded. They believe in Kherem, as all M'azael do, but in their dialect he's called Kharam (slowly bastardised down to Kharum). They are led by a man called Allahanael Am-Habahlliel of the Baruk tribe. One of their core beliefs is that the M'azic people had been deprived of their holy land when they were exiled, and that they must seek vengeance against those who cast them out. They gather together many tribes and ride south into their holy land, and after much bloodshed conquer the Asguhstas.

As they start to absorb into the Asguhstas culture (and start converting people to their religion), names change to suit Asguhstas pronounciation- hence Allahanael Am-Habahlliel becomes Allahani Am-Habahlla, and Kharam slowly changes to Kharum.

This would neatly fill out the back stories of both of our nations, as well as providing a healthy dose of idealogical hatred between our two cultures. What do you think?
You mean the Baruks? But I thought they were still part of your nation...
Heh. John's nation has the same kind of culture that mine did before the unification/revolution. And he's at the exact opposite end of the map. Wait...

Hey, John, d'you want to have it so that your nation is from the same original ethnic group as my nation? I was thinking that we would have had the same proto-nation, but then there was a war over religion which my people lost (banishing them to the far north of the continent).

Seeing as we have very similar cultures (the name of our God is even similar- mine was called Kherem), and my nation was originally in the far south of the continent and had to migrate north, this would make sense. It would also be a great opportunity to build international relations between us.
Mountain time? GMT is Greenwich Mean Time- the one that all the other ones are based on (it runs down the centre of the map in standard atlases).
Hey, out of interest, what time zones are you guys in? I'm GMT, by the way...
