The [b]17th[/b] and [b]18th Infantry Division[/b] of the [b][color=maroon]Zellonian Royal Army[/color][/b] finish training. They are sworn in on a field outside the city of Cronus in Northern Zellonia. 20,000 men strong, they join one of the weaker armies on the Continent, but one with long held traditions and discipline. These 20,000 are that of a volunteer force, another long held tradition with the Zellonian Royal Army.

After spending a weekend in counsel with the Seljuk Sultan, Saurilian military advisers Sveen Aal, Jacob Morland, and Mari Teslow depart from the capital of Hakas. Sveen Aal, recording in his journal, notes that the Sultan is very unpopular in the Empire, as displayed by the rioting in the capital and outside the palace. After an eight hour long train ride through the desert, the three Saurilians reach the front--held by 20,000 Seljukii soldiers.

8 of the 60 Havka machine guns have fallen into disrepair--three due to broken gas springs, and five due to overheated (and later discarded) barrels. The front is quiet, as the river forces a crossing before either position can come into contact with one another. The three advisers meet briefly with [b]General Hassan Mahmed[/b] ([i]Loyal/Alcoholic[/i]), who explains that while wickedly lethal, the Havka machine guns are prone to breakdown.

The [b]Saurilian Class of 1910[/b] at the [i]Vest-Agtder Aviation School[/i] graduate. Although only twenty-five were admitted, twenty men eventually graduated. The [b]1st Aviation Squadron[/b] and the [b]2nd Aviation Squadron[/b] were split into nine pilots each, with two men who showed initiative and ambition during their training promoted to commander of the two squadrons. With exactly twenty aircraft in the entire empire, each man was assigned his own plane.

The [b][color=orange]Karalian Provinces[/color][/b] send diplomats to both the [b][color=purple]Tyro-Antarian Empire[/color][/b] and the [b][color=red]Kingdom of Blutland[/color][/b], requesting military aid and military advisers to help repulse the Seljuk armies that will inevitability cross the river. In exchange for aid, the Karalians promise exclusive trading rights after the war has ended.

The tribal peoples of Serranthia in the area between Sessauan Serranthia and Zellonian Serranthia formerly announce the [b][color=orange]Kingdom of Samgola[/color][/b]. With a population of only 1,900,000, the Samgolans are a mostly nomadic people, with coastal cities and a capital situation at the harbor city of Kamrun. King Havekon is the reigning monarch, a fifty-nine year old chieftain who accepted the crown only after coercion from several other tribes.

[i]Political Situation in June, 1910[/i][/center]

[b]RELATIONS[/b]
-- [b][color=lavender]Staratia[/color][/b]/[b][color=yellow]Estalia[/color][/b]: [[color=red]-4[/color]]
[i]Both Republics, Staratia and Estalia are at odds as Staratia supported the independence of Estalian Serranthia independence in 1906, sending the rebels there rifles and supplies. Since, the Estalians have wagered a high tax on Staratian trade there through the Strait of Kalif.[/i]

-- [b][color=blue]Thecia[/color][/b]/[b][color=yellow]Estalia[/color][/b]: [[color=lightblue]+9[/color]]
[i]Estalia and Thecia have enjoyed trade for hundreds of years, and while Thecian monarchism reigns supreme, Estalia and Thecia possess a burgeoning trade relationship stymied only by Thecia's distance[/i].

-- [b][color=green]Dongaria[/color][/b]/[b][color=yellow]Estalia[/color][/b]: [[color=lightblue]+1[/color]]
[i]With little trade, culture and geography in common, the Kingdom of Dongaria and the Estalian Republic have no opinion of one another. Most Dongarians believe Estalians to be lazy[/i].

-- [b][color=purple]Tyro-Antari Empire[/color][/b]/[b][color=yellow]Estalia[/color][/b]: [+0]
[i]Two nations whose paths have rarely crossed, the Dual Monarchy and the Coastal Republic have little to discuss, their embassies are rarely used. The former, a more land based power and the latter a more sea based power also have little to complain of one another[/i].

-- [b][color=red]Blutland[/color][/b]/[b][color=yellow]Estalia[/color][/b]: [[color=red]-14[/color]]
[i]The Estalians have long harbored their Blutlandic cousins as a weaker bunch. With an inadequate navy, but a superior holding on the Continent, the Estalians often feel themselves looking inwards to a nation they see as inferior.[/i]

-- [b][color=red]Blutland[/color][/b]/[b][color=purple]Tyro-Antari Empire[/color][/b]: [[color=lightblue]+4[/color]]
[i]Based perhaps on geography, the Tyro-Antarians and Blutlands see themselves as acquaintances at a ballroom party. Neither party has reason to thumb their nose at the other, and neither party has reason to ask the other for a dance.[/i] 

-- [b][color=orange]Madeira[/color][/b]/[b][color=yellow]Estalia[/color][/b]: [[color=lightblue]+16[/color]]
[i]Long time friends, Madeiran and Estalian relations are some of the best they have been since the early 1800's. The Madeirans and Estalians are culturally similar, in that Madeirans speak the Estalian language, albeit with a very unique dialect[/i].

[b][color=maroon]Zellonia[/color][/b]/[b][color=blue]Sessau[/color][/b]: [[color=red]-22[/color]]
[i]In the early 1800's the [b]Zello-Sessauan Wars[/b] were some of the most fierce of the continent. They ended with the Zellonians eventually conquering and fragmenting the large Sessauan Empire, which later became the Kingdom of Sessau[/i].

[b][color=maroon]Zellonia[/color][/b]/[b][color=orange]Estalia[/color][/b]: [[color=red]-15[/color]]
[i]Although friendly originally, Zellonian's recent decision to begin expanding militarily has soured Zello-Estalian relations, as Zellonia and Estalia may have divergent intentions over the Kizurgas Islands in the Inner Sea[/i].
