Government Type:
5. Your nation is ruled by the sword, and the cogs of its "political system" are oiled with blood. Though they might put it more eloquently in order to conjure an image of legitimacy, your nation is quite frankly ruled by whatever warlord(s) are currently at the top of the food chain. This chaotic military dictatorship has the potential to perhaps transform into something more like a monarchy, but for now birthright means nothing and the man with the most soldiers at his back is always the man that lays out the law.
Political Stability:
5. You enjoy the benefit of having a serene and peaceful nation. There's barely any crime and you don't have a rebellion brewing, so rejoice!
Gdi Cyclone, there must be always something in the rolls that trip things up.


The chaotic tribal military dictatorship ruled in complete peace and stability...
This is better than my grand professional army fed by a levy system.

Sometimes dictatorships work.

It's peaceful now but just wait untill someone else tries to 'free' your people and 'fix' your nation.

"And with the king beheaded, England entered a most unusual phase in which it was called the Commonwealth. It was effectively a republic! Of course, all this ended a few uears later when the Puritans stormed into Parliament with an army and banished any pretences of democracy. Then we entered a period called the Protectorate!

Oliver Cromwell was Lord Protector (that means dictator) because the Puritan army backed him, and all was stable and well until the Puritans banned Christmas and closed all of England's theatres. Then the people got upset."

Stable dictatorships aren't stratocracies or anything similar. They are just enforced political parties with an army backing them.

To be fair though just as my "poor" navy this can be spun into something more sensible with ease. For example like an extreme version of Sparta and have the military rule as well as a relatively recent government united by a warlord. I just love how the two rolls strictly contradict each other. Please don't spoil my fun.

Some of the truly outrageous rolls I just redo. Like someone originally roles a 6-size city state

But yeah, if it seems at all reasonable then I keep it.

@The Wyrm



Almost all territory on the map is claimed so you basically have two choices here: take up the islands between Albion and the Commonwealth, or go on Discord and ask for our mapmaker (TheArhive, or whatever nickname he's currently using) to find a way to fit you in somewhere else. Since you're a tiny city state, we can probably squeeze you in just about anywhere.

Love it!!! Will take a good look at the map and get back to you today.

Is anyone willing to have an independent city-state on/attached to their turf?

We have some unoccupied islands still, so not quite. But yes, it's very crowded. We can still add new lands onto the map if absolutely necessary but I'm quite happy with almost all of Albion being taken up. I see it as something of a plothole if there's a lot of good land just sitting there empty.

Welcome! See what I said above concerning the lack of unclaimed territory.

Hmm, so it's 1500 now, huh?
well, I suppose that makes for a nice round number. Speaking of which, what would be the seasons in Albion be like? Four seasons and preferably Northern Hemisphere style?
