Also, I was having a friend of mine go over the OOC form (that I have finished and will be posting soon after I edit some minor things) and she suggested that we don't have our OC's romance certain MCU characters like Bucky and Loki since that has been done a lot and can get quite "cliche". I agree with her on that but I want to see what you all think of it. Would everyone be all right with certain MCU characters being off-limits?
Yes, it'd be bad to have this turn into some wierd fanfiction
How you survived: The Naukan Crusade did not survive the Third and Fourth World war because it didn't exist during this period , but is the name given to a UNE-sponsored last-ditch colonization effort where the Trans-Steppe United Khanate, a nation that formed up after the Third World War, tries to colonize and conquer the new continent in the name of saving the human species from its self-imposed destruction.
Ships: Pioneer: The Pioneer is the flagship of the Naukam Crusade fleet. It has been constructed in the massive shipyards in the former nation of South Korea, in what is now the most eastern part of the TSUK. the ship has engines that can run on a mix of biofuels which can be produced locally by the fleet and regular petroleum fuel. It has been designed to serve as a cornerstone for the future colony on the new continent, and its modules reflect its intended use. A large part of the ship is a factory/workshop capable of producing all kinds of tools, weaponry, equipment and many more things needed to start a succesfull colony on what could be seen as another world. It also has a resource refinery section, with a blast furnace, bloomery and several other machines and things used to refine raw materials into useful products that can be turned into different products inside the factory. Beyond the factory and refinery, the Pioneer has a laboratory, a prefabricated nuclear reactor filled up with enriched uranium as well as the machines and materials needed to make a small nuclear power plant, ready for when it needs to power a growing colony, it also has a scientific database with all scientific knowledge gathered by humanity throughout the ages, as well several templates for many different things from generators to housing and vehicles, stored safely inside a database.
Ark: The Ark is an old, modified Triple-E class container ship, and possibly the most important ship in the Naukam Crusade fleet. About half of the original space meant for containers on the Ark has been replaced with living spaces for colonists who are supposed to live on the newly discovered continent. Because the original ship is so big, a massive amount of people can be transported Another half of the cargo area has been instead replaced with a livestock carrier, housing many kinds of important and useful animals that can't really be allowed to go extinct on Earth. Lastly, the ship also contains a seed bank, containing many different kinds of seeds stored at good conditions, so the colonists can easily farm on the new continent without searching for any new crop. Just like the other two ships, its engines can run on biofuel
Neptune: The Neptune is a heavily modified factory ship (ship used to process fish). Beyond the automated fishing processing, as well as the fishing trawls it can use to supply the rest of the Naukam Fleet with food, the Neptune has been significantly modified and enlarged to allow for the implementation of a biorefinery capable of using the fish waste, human solid waste, and animal excrement from the Ark's livestock to produce the valuable biofuel that allows the Naukam fleet to be so long on sea without refueling. The Neptune itself also has the engines capable of running on biofuel the other ships have, and most of the fleet's food is stored there. Because a lot of processes on the ship are automatic, it is the least crewed ship in the Naukam Crusade.
Vanguard: The Vanguard is an amphibious assault ship. Most of its flight deck has been removed, and instead an anti-air cannon, as well as surface-to-surface missiles have been installed. Yet enough flight deck is on top of the ship to allow for an ASW helicopter, a transport helicopter as well as a recon helicopter used for scouting out new lands. The ship itself also has several landing craft which allow people and vehicles to go to land. Most of the fleet's soldiers are on the vessel, and nearly all military equipment and weapons are stored there.
Technology: Because of the Pioneer's factory module, the Naukan Crusade is capable of producing many types of weapons, machines, equipment and vehicles on their own. Their scientific database ensures that the colonists can build all the equipment and housing they need to survive themselves, rather than relying on some outer source of knowledge. The crusade can refine nearly any raw materials they find into useful products and building materials, and the scientists in their labratories are ready to find out more new technologies to ensure a better future for the rest of humanity. The seed bank means the colonists can easily start growing their own food, and the biorefinery can make fuel to sustain the Crusade's exploration efforts.
Military might: Because the Naukam Crusade is supposed to be a peaceful colonization mission rather than a military campaign, the Naukam Crusade has a mere 275 soldiers. The only vehicles in the Crusade are stored on the Vanguard and they are all reconnaisance vehicles. It also has the Vanguard itself, which is the only military ship and escort in the fleet.
History (transcript of a Crusade Propaganda Video): Under the ambitious leadership of our glorious Khan, Temir Zima, we have become a great nation among many ruined ones. We as a people have risen up and united after the massacre that was the third world war, and continued prospering after the fourth. Now it is time to follow our destiny, and colonize the newly found continent for future of humanity. With the help of the UNE, we will pool our resources, work together and build great ships, and send them through the gate. We will discover new technologies, and new species that will redefine our understanding of life. Together, we will save the human race, and build towards a better tomorrow.

Background: Udo was one of the many soldiers fighting in the fourth world war. He lived in the Trans-Steppe United Khanate, a newly formed nation encompassing most of the Eurasian Steppe, made up of many smaller nations that either weren't seen as important targets or were completely destroyed. After the war ended because of the formation of the UNE, he did not have anything to do, and became homeless and unemployed. However, as the TSUK prepared to start an initiative to cross into another world after the opening of the gate, he was asked to join the Naukan Crusade by one of his former superiors. He is now part of one of the away teams responsible for doing reconnaisance on an area to see if it is worth colonizing or not.
Also note that 'how you survived' is really only for the human nations that come from earth actually affected by WWIII and WWIV, not for the fantasy nations on the new continent
The great hall where the Kurultai was being held was nearly silent. The only sound that could be heard was the roar of a snow storm. The Khaganate's capital had been on lockdown due to the massive storm, but the people that were supposed to go to the Kurultai were still able to attend.
"Greetings everyone, and welcome to the daily meeting of the Kurultai." said Yuri Lanist, Khan of the Lanist Khaganate, breaking the silence. "As first order of business I would like to announce the temporary resignation of General Katie Anderson from the Kurultai. She had spoken to me about this after yesterday's Kurultai, and she wanted to let you know that she was resigning temporarily because she thought it was too stressful for her. She won't be leading any armies or campaigns for a while either. Her replacement is the man you see sitting in the seat where she used to sit in, General Teo Escamilla"
General Teo stood up and said "Hello, I am general Teo Escamilla. I swear to serve the people of the Khaganate and the Kurultai as best as I can. I am currently in charge of the defense of our southern border against any potential threats, and will be in command of the landship once it's been repaired until General Anderson gets better."
Probably because she nearly got herself killed a few weeks ago General Nurzhan thought to himself Nevertheless, it was her own fault for blindly trusting the enemy. She really shouldn't have done that.
"Alright, now I would like to know the progress on the ANCHIN project. General Nurzhan, you have been appointed as the leader of it a month earlier, correct?" Yuri said as he looked at the general's direction.
Now it was General Nurzhan's turn to speak, and he stood up. With his usual lack of emotion he said "I have indeed been appointed as the project's leader. We are doing quite well. The researchers in my headquarters in the east of the Khaganate have been working very hard on upscaling the power armor models, and we have been working together with the Ministery of Science to design a nuclear reactor that is powerful enough to power the machine, yet small enough to fit inside it. It of course also has to be light enough so not much of the energy that is generated by the reactor will be used to carry it around. We have also been working closely together with the AIR to manufacture the parts we need, but I would like to request the Core to start building more specialized facilities rather than the mass-production factories there are in the area now."
"AIR core, please make it so, we want the ANCHIN project to be done as soon as possible, it is vital to fighting any future conflicts with the State of Ubrax to the south, as well as the defense of our ocean to the west. Also, what is the progress on the repair of the landship, and what is the status of civilian and military industrial production in general?"
The robot sitting on the opposite side of General Nurzhan stood up. It was a rather crude, humanoid robot, not made too look like a human to avoid creeping out the other people sitting table. A stereotypical robotic voice came from a speaker somewhere in the head. "Landship repairs are proceeding fairly well, although a lot of damage has been done to it. The creatures that the fleet encountered are apparently capable of doing a lot more harm than was anticipated. Civilian production is okay, although there is a slight shortage on consumer goods while too much food is being produced. We are currently building extensive underwater factory complexes in the sea to the west, made for producing the TITAN-class NMR robots."
"In addition to that," Minister of science Isaac Plant added, "we are doing quite well on the space program, if I say so myself. The AIR has been integral to both the design and manufacture of the satellites we plan to launch into space. However, we have been struggling slighly with the construction of rockets, and were forced to buy them from the Ceoniral Kingdom, a space-age human kindom to the south-east of here, south of the strange menace the landship fleet came across a lot earlier."
"Alright, that is okay for know, but I want that we will be able to build our own rockets as soon as possible." The Khan said. "This should conclude our daily meeting, and I assume you are all very busy with things and should get going again."

"If you only abide to the embassy term with changes that is alright, then this pact cannot be a non-aggression pact because there's no alteration or certain involvement from a military and more like.. err.. you know.. A 'diplomatic establishment of two nations' treaty. Can we forge a short compensation or compromise from a demilitarized zone for something else that you're wishes to change? I'm not going home peacefully with a partial, half completed diplomatic mission!" tempered by the Kronfurter.
"I am sorry," the diplomat said, "but we are simply not going to give up the military control of that part of the sea. It is too vital to the survival of the Lanist Khaganate, and if it is truly a term for the non-agression pact, we cannot and will not accept the non-agression pact."
"Nope, only the non-aggression pact is sufficient." said the Kronfurter.
"The terms for the non-aggression pact of the A.A was stated as follows: 1. The establishment of AA Embassy at your nation. This will ensure a quickest way of negotiation between us and your kind without the requirement of maintaining and deploying long range communications. 2. Demilitarization of a southern Island Lake. Upon accepting this treaty, Militarists and Lanist Khaganate will not allowed to deploy any military presence at the water of southern island lake, and only restricted to maritime police force (patrol crafts) in which marked as the map stated.
That is all for the non-aggression pact." stated by the Kronfurter and before handed him with a treaty to sign at the end.
Stephen thought for a second. Then he replied "Although the Khaganate would like a non-agression pact with your nation, these are terms we simply cannot abide to, and would give you an advantage above us. If this demilitarized zone were to exist, only our most northern ports would actually be able to launch any military ships. While you are on an island, so you could easily dominate the rest of this lake. Not to mention that we won't be able to protect any of our civilian vessels from pirates or worse using more than just the coast guard, and we can't protect our territorial waters against our southern neighbour. However, I do think establishing an embassy is a good idea, although we want to establish an embassy in your nation as well. However, seeing as this non-agression pact includes terms that are not beneficial to us, we decline it, and would like to propose a non-agression pact with only the embassy term.
The image of the map was sent somewhere else for further research.
<Snipped quote by jorcool> The treasure ship follows the airplanes closely, before carefully making sure to land on the pad below them. Once again, a ramp opens on the lower end of the treasure ship as the crew walks out to meet their new trading partners.
The treasure ship landed softly on the concrete pad. The squadron of five planes circled above the treasure ship for a bit, before flying away to somewhere in the distance. When the crew walked out they were greeted by a twelve heavily armed men. Their leader said "Our merchants are still on their way here to negotiate the trade deal. We would like to know what you have on board."
<Snipped quote by jorcool> The radio message immediately receives a reply. "We are merchants of Shupoli Industries, here to trade with you! We do not mean to invade your territories. As a token of goodwill, our weapons are not activated."
The Khaganate radio operator responds: "You will be directed to the nearest airbase. Please stay close to your assigned fighter squadron, and don't try anything. What do you have on board anyway?" Apparently from somewhere inside the base, an order is given to the fighter squadron, and they start flying at the same altitude and velocity as the treasure ship. The sky was clear, and it was sunny, so the people inside the treasure could follow the planes clearly. After some time of flying, the blue water of the ocean changed to an intricate network of fortresses and coastal artillery inside the dunes between land and sea, and then many factories, towns and a hexagonal network of roads could be seen by those that looked down. Eventually, the planes with the treasure airship arrived at an airbase. A large pad, big enough for the treasure ship, was located near the edge. Robots scurried away from it, as if it had been built a very short time before arrival. "You can land on that pad." Is sent to the people in the treasure ship
Upon at the meeting room, the AA adversaries goes attentive of their military posture and the Officer #32 stood open after greeted by Stephen Michel, the diplomat of the Lanist Khaganate.
"Codename, Officer 3-2 of the Alfieq's Army. The militarists won't allowed to call over our actual names unless our commander has given a strict permission in many occasions!" proclaimed Officer #32.
"Step aside Officer #32!" interrupted by the Kronfurter.
Then the Officer #32 strife to the left side and greeted by 'the non-commissioned of high command', the Kronfurter. It was a same person who commanded the Third Expeditionary Fleet/Army and whom conducted a reconnaissance mission at Lanist Khaganate with a marginal conflict.
"Good evening. It is I, the Kronfurter of the Third Expeditionary Force, has given orders by the Commander to oversee the progress of diplomatic resolution. We're here for negotiating the non-aggression pact on behalf of the Militarist Army, to the Lanist Khaganate." said the Kronfurter.
"Non-agression pact huh?" Stephen thought about it. "What would be the terms of it, and any other treaties you may have?"
