Merry Easter, one and all. Happy Day if you celebrate it or, if not, I just hope it was a happy day anyways

You should laugh every moment you live, for you'll find it decidedly difficult afterwards.

Bio
Hey there, I assume you want to know about me so here it is...
The name is gowia (g-ow-ee-ah) or Alex. Or anything else you come up with, I'm not fussy.
I am a 25 year old male, though comfortably I'll play anything as a character.
I am a Brit born and bred and so that is my lingo, I use British words and love my slang, and if I don't seem to make sense I may simply be using English idioms that don't translate outside the rural country abodes I swan around.
I enjoy all sorts of things, I am an avid football (soccer) player and supporter, adore music, and live for a good story. I am in love with history. So you will always get a decent plot or conversation out of me on that subject.
If there is anything else you need to ask, feel free too. I swear I don't bite... much.

Right I am here...let me catch up with everything and I can field comments questions and anything else people want me to do:)
And we are advanced. events wise not much has happened however there have been some little fights and more events will come at the end of the year.
As Winter Follows Autumn so too does Spring Follow Winter…
-It has already been 6 months since the New World was discovered and nations are making deals and planning moves. The rains of spring water fields once covered in ice and the green spears of crops poke their way up through the mud to suckle on the rays of light beaming down. The question is in this new-year who can end up Alpha wolf, controlling both the New and Old worlds.
-The first news and most important is the colonial expeditions…they have finally made land fall and villages have been built. It will take a number of years for these colonies to become fully fledged and self-sufficient but it is a positive step in the right direction. However despite these peaceful expansions fights have already erupted over land claims. Notably so are the following…
The Empire of Corustaria and the Lance Empire on the north and west coast, areas are claimed by the other and groups of settlers have made punitive raids into the other to try and gain more ranch land for themselves.
Similar events are taking place between the United Vanjanan Empire and Azor in and around the cove. Especially since in the time of landings there was a brief naval conflict, a battle of simply 1 brig against another led too damages oj both sides before they retreated back to the first landing zones.
-In continuation of the investigation into the Mighty Hammer the ship has now been sited right off the north coast of Edoniras heading in the direction of the Empire of Corustaria.
-Finally a word on the New World, having yet to be named the Cartographers is holding a summit to decide the land mass’s name. Each nation has been asked to suggest one name and a ‘bid’ to get their name accepted. Their name will give them theoretically more legitimacy on their claims to land.

Let me get the map, and I shall plot it for you.
Good man.
Right I am writing up an advance now...can people please PM me the locations they want their colonies. I can find the order of leaving etc. I just am having trouble picturing all the locations desired.
"Drake man, you know I am no good with names...apart from yours of course."
Jack watched as Drake finished with his mic and just shook his head.
"I have no idea but honestly this is not the best location there is around the world. By the time the crowd is done bouncing around the floor is going to have fallen in but of course we will have made our money so its all good."
"I don't even know how half that shit works and you can get yourself setting it all up every time. You're a hero man."
He gave Drake a cheeky wink and looked at his watch which looked way to cheap for the suit.
"Hey do you think it's almost time to open the doors?"

Nations Name: Regency of Caer
Flag: A white flag with a gold vertical line down the center and two gold parallel horizontal lines at equal distance apart that cut across the vertical line.
Form of Government: Regency and Monarchy
Describe the System:
The Regent of Caer has complete authority over the land and answers to the former Kings council.
Location on Map Desired: Whatever is left
Capital: Located in the center of Caer's borders lies a city called Dorian, the city is built for maximum efficiency when it comes to utilizing space. Taking a look at the blue prints shows a grid-like system with a street large enough for two wagons to pass each other with ease going in opposite directions. It is filled with riches and luxurious materials that the higher class indulges in more than they should.
Important Settlements:
Christendale
Mooringlye
Dakwood
Description:
Only the most fortunate can survive in the cities, middle class no longer exists if it ever had at all. Poverty is rising, crime is rising, and the state of the cities and nation itself is on the brink of collapse. The king has disappeared and with that the Prince being to young to rules the General of Caer has deemed himself Regent of Caer until the king returns. Maintenance is low and people are tired, small armies are still maintained but the population grows weary of their leader, the rich, and the military presence. Taverns are empty, streets are deserted, curfews have been placed and martial law is in order.
Important Characters:
Gabriel Edward Bane (31) (General)
Tristan Dante Caer (9) (Prince)
Traits:
Professional Army: Your nation’s army is well trained and equipped with good weapons, performing better in battle. -3
Small Army: Your nation maintains a relatively small number of troops, when fielded in battle against another nation your forces are almost always outnumbered. +2
Strong Industry: Your craftsmen and labourers are good quality and hardworking making some of your nations goods very reliable, sometimes fetching a high price from a market. -2
Landlubbers: Your sailors don't exactly train on a boat, boarding and marine forces perform slightly worse due to the moving deck. +1
Depleted Materials: After years of exploitation mines now run dry and woods no longer exist, your nation has to import its goods and anything that is made from your own raw materials is highly coveted and so expensive its not worth the cost. +3
Army:
10,000 Veterans
5,000 Regulars
10,000 Recruits
Navy: N.A
GDP: 61,000,000,000 ($)
Stability: Unstable

I can't help but be a little disappointed at the lack of activity these past couple days, but thats okay. I wanted to have the moot wrapped up and have another event thrown at you guys, but we will just wait until next week. Orders are due this sunday, 3pm eastern time, as the crowning may just be touched upon in the update due to lack of activity, council orders wont come into effect until next week. Theo can name his council next Moot (provided we don't have a surprise rebelion.) Remember you all get one military order, and one diplomatic order. You may not have any orders for you army this time around, as things are fairly calm, but make sure you get a diplo order in so you can make some gold. Anything from a spring fair, hunt, trade mission etc can be a diplo order. I won't be around this weekend much, so if Swift could IC, that would be great, the rest of you I am assuming swore fealty unless you state otherwise.I'll have an update up sunday afternoon, so make sure you get your orders in!
I am simply waiting for the Moot to finish:L Also my orders should be in tomorrow.
