[quote=@Aristo] I like that route; could the Empire have tried to settle in my nation during its height and abandoned it after the fall, leaving a kind of [i]Romano-British[/i]-equivalent culture in my territory? The war with Zhodul, coupled with the dragon incident and the infighting may have contributed to it pulling out of #6. [/quote] That works perfectly for me. I'll let you decide what the state of our current relations is, but Ardonia is no longer an empire or a binge-conquering land. But you could be especially Celtic if you wanted. If Arcturia is Rome, then Ardonia is Romano-British, and your nation can be Romano-British or whatever it is you want.
