[@Bishop] Give the outer ring of your people a strong merchant culture of wagons and land. It seems natural that, being so land based and isolated that, having a strong lower community of traders is becoming a must. This also let's you kink out the details, because if you got a buttload of merchants moving in and out with private industry. You can just say that, a private organisation moves goods in and out voluntarly out of [@Sisyphus] shores. Then, you can focus on your idea originally of having a strong tax economy. Because it fits. Also justifies where you get alot of your current money from besides just looting. TL/DR: capitalism. [@Silverink] I'll draw a map when all the nations are set. Right now, it's still mold. But, my sister. You got hope, because, I'm you're, motherfucking, herald of the hereafter. Basically: the original post that will go up either tomorrow-or the day after- will be a month before Merin's 99th birthday. At this point you can all have posts of you dealing with family. Fucking with the farmers, visiting each other and all that shambles. People can post sheets durring this point. I will put up a count down of the start, in which Merin's announcement will have happened, the one in the very first post OOC. This will be the point in which you are all attending the House Union ball-you called it, my crystal clue cleaver- and from here on your nobles will be living at the main castle for a little while. This will be a big part of you meeting, greeting, getting harrassed by family to find a fuck fondler, and forming relations. This is a prelude to the tour. Each of you will be systematically moved from land to land to RP and towards the end of that single land tour you, who can be be king, will make a speech to the people. This cycle will repeat. The people votes is worth it, but the nobles vote carries a lot of clout-sometimes, even more than the people- voting powers is determined by 3 things: populace, influence, assets. This is so voting power remains balanced despite land differences..although..you will still have roughly different lands stats. Don't worry about the stats. They're all hidden and just a way of me judging who votes, how, what..ectr towards the end. At the end of the tour. Those are counted up by me, you return to Handon. One last ball happens and king is declared.
