[hider=SuperWIP][b]Nation Sheet[/b] [This is where your flag will be] [b][u]Nation's Name[/u][/b] Velis Veiln --- [b][u]Nation's History[/u][/b] Velis Veiln is old. The Vaelie do not know how long they have lived within their jungle homeland but their oldest ruins date back thousands of years. The earliest recorded civilization in Velis Veiln were the Veiln city states 2,300-1,900 years ago. The ancient Vaelie raised cities built on the backs of their slaves and the pyramid shaped temples and statues of that age still dot the Pizan jungles. What caused the Veiln city states to fail is unknown, but historians have speculated it might have been over population and predation, or an outbreak of plague. Whatever the reason the civilization that had emerged from a historical void faded into a new one almost overnight. Then after 300 years off chaos and anarchy that left little archeological evidence a new city rose. It was called Velis and it flourished. But Velis too was doomed to wither away suddenly. The Vaelie population boomed during the growth of the Velis Empire and outstripped the slave population that they used for both labor and sustenance. Velis did not go out with a whisper like the Veiln cities did, and there are records of historical wars with people around the jungles. In the next dark period the breeding program that created the Casselen humans began. Who began the breeding program is a mystery for the ages but they started a revolution in Vaelie culture. With a steadier source of labor and food the next set of city states did not collapse under their own weight like the others had. With promises of gifts and privileges the Vaelie lured the Pizan humans into willing service. The Vaelie began to trade with the outside world in earnest just in time to get a malevolent gift from the world. The flu swept through the jungle lands of the eaters of men killing thousands of Vaelie and even greater numbers of Casselen and Pizan humans. The cities nearly collapsed again as food became scarce and panic set in over the plague. But the plague did not quite cause another collapse. The reborn city of Velis had been hit a lil less hard then the others and the ruling Vaelie manage to scrape together an army when the others could not. This army brought unity to the land and brought Velis Veiln into being. The Vaelie have never expected the world to become like they are. They have always kept the world at arms length and traded with it but otherwise kept their distance. But that is starting to change. (It can have already changed a bit if people want. :) ) --- [b][u]Form of Government[/u][/b] Theocratic Monarchy [b][u]Political Status[/u][/b] [b][u]Political Overview[/u][/b] [b][u]Current Political Leader[/u][/b] [b][u]Notable Figures[/u][/b] --- [b][u]Total Population[/u][/b] [b][u]Employed Population[/u][/b] [b][u]Military Population[/u][/b] --- [b][u]The Specie's Information[/u][/b] Vialie: The Vialie are a humanoid race that has skin, hair, and eyes with metallic colors. Their skin is silver and gleams faintly in light, their eyes are pools of gold, and their hair is as bright and beautiful as gold spun into thread. Vialie have several traits other than skin, hair, and eyes that differ from humans. They have very different internal mouth structure with teeth that are clearly carnivorous. Vialie have retractable spines that come out of their wrists to inject potent paralytic venom and they can inject this through bites as well. They can naturally produce pheromones that induce an addled and aroused state of mind in humanoids. This was a hunting tool in the old days. Vialie are also natural contortionists and can bend their bodies in abnormal ways. The Vialie are the original race of the Piza jungle and they have lived there since times long forgotten. The fetid swamps and hostility of the jungle to outsiders was a shield. Humans: (Pizans)The human subjects of the Vialie. Pizan humans are slight and olive skinned. They have lived in the lands for nearly as long as the Vialie and while they used to be food in the old days the breeding programs that produced the Casselen have allowed the Pizan humans an unmolested place in society and led to flourishing. Humans: (Casselen)Casselen humans have been bred for traits such as having large fleshy areas, muscle mass, stupidity, obedience. They are large humans, with ample flesh and it is said they taste truly divine. Casselens are borderline sentient and treated as expensive cattle by the Vialie and other residents of the nation. They are raised to serve as food for the Vialie and little else. --- [b][u]Army Overview[/u][/b] [b][u]Navy Overview[/u][/b] [b][u]Air Force Overview[/u][/b] --- [b][u]Nation's Location[/u][/b] [b][u]Nation's Geography[/u][/b] --- [b][u]Economy Overview[/u][/b] Imports: Silks, Spices, Oil, Natural Gas, Luxury Goods, Grain, Technology in general Exports: Perfumes, Aphrodisiacs, Herbal Medicines, Human blood, Human Flesh, Slaves [/hider]
