Current Sometimes it doesn’t matter too much what choice you make, as long as you make it quick and stick to it.

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.

Nations Name: Democratic Monarchy of KonziaFlag: No flag.Form of Government: Democratic Monarchy (People can vote for things, with a Queen as the Head of State)Describe the system: The people vote for whoever they wish to join the council, with the Queen sitting at the top. While powerful, and having great sway with govermental proclaims, she can be over-ruled by a majority vote (20/30)Location on Map Desired: dark blue on mapCapital: Nozian, located in the central north region of the nationImportant Settlements: Nozian and New Eastern Konzia.Description: The once great nation once ruled most of the northeast, rebellion has caused it to fall back into the northeastern peninsula where a smaller rebellion torn the country in half. The western part of the nation is littered with looters, rebels, poverty, and the scars of a war. Buildings are mainly made of stone and iron. The western half of the former capital, Old Konzia was taken near the end of The Great Rebellion. A peace treaty was signed where our western counterpart would split from us, peace has settled throughout most of Konzia but the west is still unstable. The culture is mixed in Konzia as many people once lived in former parts of the empire. The language is also mixed with many people speaking 2 or more different languages. there is no common language. The currency is the Jade Hiokan. Many people look upon the new world as a chance to flee the violence and fighting. However, of late a massive rebellion has sparked great infighting, and the Emperor has been replaced overnight, by a new Queen with radical new edicts for the people. Several new artillery pieces have been seen in the capital and large, black clad women are talking to the people, and gathering the opinion for some sort of 'council'. Trade had suddenly picked up as well, with several merchants rolling into the towns selling wares at a cheap price.Important Characters: Queen Lilyana KabalElissa, CEO of Konzia inc.Traits:Starting points +2State Controlled +1Professional Army: Your nation’s army is well trained and equipped with good weapons, performing better in battle. -3Small Army: Your nation maintains a relatively small number of troops, when fielded in battle against another nation your forces are almost always outnumbered. +2Rotting Hulls +2Artillery Advantage (Custom, if not allowed, replace with Trading Hub and Milita): The new Queen arrived with strange new equipment, such as the Ribauldequin, a large multi-barrelled gun. She also had a gigantic 'Great Bombard' fixed to the main building of the capital. -4Army:19,000 Regulars23333.3 RecruitsNavy:1 Frigate2.6 Schooners1.6 Sloops1.3 BrigGDP:98,000,000,00 ($)Stability: Slightly Unstable,but stabilizing.


Okay with the description etc. that is fine. However army, gdp, navy etc. I am going to have to do that myself. Please delete your stats until I have posted them then put it into the nation dump once I have given the go ahead.
I'm sorry to say that I am dropping out. This looks like great fun but I just havent got the time to keep up. Again I am sorry.
Yeah I was kind of exaggerating it...just do whatever you can.

Dibs on Ribauldequin.Also, Big Guy, how do I take over the country? Do I blow people away with my Ribauldequins?


I am going to leave that up to you. I say firstly give me a copy of the Lascaux nation sheet with your changes and when I have approved you can put a f*$% off huge post about how your new leader takes power, be it through succession, force or underhand politics. Then you are good to go with what Lascaux has.
Yeah that would be fine.

When is the big guy going to be here?


He is here. Also yeah, with cavalry you had to ask for it and if you did you only get knights. Dragoons etc. are a future discovery.

So how do I go about this Annexation?


Okay Konzia is a military state that runs under a dictator. I would say you kill off the dictator secretly then replace him with your own supporter. This supporter comes in and makes changes. That is a just me thinking aloud though. As long as it makes sense I don't mind how you do it.
Jack was off stage with the three girls now. He was laying back on a sofa that had been dragged in for the bands afterwards and despite it being filthy he was enjoying himself. The girls were pretty wasted and kept trying to get drinks down him. He avoided them since he definitely wanted to remember this night. Ads the others came off the set he gave them nod before returning his attention to the three girls. However he could tell the girls wanted to party and in a way sodid he. As the oldest member of the band it seemed he was the one with the biggest apartment as well and so helped each of the ladies off of his lap before leading all three towards the exit.

"You're all welcome back at mine after guys. Doot will be unlocked."

And with that he was in a car getting driven home.Greatest gig of his life followed by a very good evening. It was only a short trip home and as he used his arse to open the door he led the ladies into his bedroom. He was going to have a good time before any of the others showed up. that was for sure.
Jack-Floyd, Jess, Lyn and Emma

Jack had followed Jess as she had gone, the girl wouldn't be doing the child any favours running about and he couldn't have forgiven himself if he had let something happen to her. Grabbing his rucksack he run after her drawing his hatchet from his belt loop. He didn't like the blade, it was heavy and very inaccurate, he wished he had grabbed a knife at his home now. The call of she's alive drew Jack to his surroundings. He had been following Jess blindly and was now kind of lost though he never would admit it however a girl in the distance was gesturing for Jess and Jess was eager to get to her. Clearly they knew each other. Unfortunately Jess had been running for a while and Jack knew she would be exhausted. He held out his arm and held her then whispered in her ear.

"This is clearly who you are looking for so slow down. She appears fine so think about yourself for a second. Think about your baby. Let me at least help you to your friend." He was using his patients voice again. The girl clearly cared for her friend very much and jack was almost jealous that she had someone she could trust like that. After about thirty seconds he finally helped Jess too her friend who looked the tougher of the two girls and...great...the guy who had run off. Just who he wanted to see.
Okay summer post is up, sorry if i left anything out I am short of time at the moment, if I have forgotten something please pm me it.
