I added a little bit more to my nation sheet. There's now some info on Imperato Geddon and the dwarven section is complete.

In contrast to the dwarves that have been in Moravia more of less the whole time but with a relatively small role in history, I was going to say that the gnomes came from elsewhere. 

How about us saying that they were native to that unclaimed island off the south of our main continent, but then emigrated en mass after numerous natural disasters. They came right around when the Holy Moravian Empire collapsed, which led to widespread persecution (of all the races in the Commonwealth, gnomes are treated with the most suspicion and there is even a gnomish rebel movement) which explains their still-low population.

Did anybody else have plans for that island, and do you guys want to go back on the history collab to talk about what your nation might have done during the Great Gnomish Migration of 1675? :lol
