The city of Tartarus sat on the edge of the water, boats and small blimps dotted the landscape, and people lined the shores. All in anticipation for what was to come. It was eerily quiet quiet and almost nothing moved aside from the ocean and the breeze. Suddenly three streaks of flame shot out of the water in the distance. They rose a few hundred feet before suddenly exploding into bright colorful sparks. A great cheer arose from all those who gathered and more fireworks began shooting into the air from boats all over, and even a few small ones from among the crowd. Everything was filled with joy and laughter as the fireworks slowly began to die off with the last dregs of the setting sun.
"People of Weldenvarden, Guests, and Friends!" a voice boomed from speakers around the city. "I am sorry to say that this is the conclusion of yet another great festival... However I hope that you all had a great time and that you will all come again to our next event! I wish you all a good rest and safe travel!"
Cheers arose once again from the crowds after the speakers finished with the message, and people began closing the various shops and booths that had been set up for the event. All of the cleaning and taking down would be done the next day, a community effort. Brandon looked down over the city from his vantage point, glad that he had pre-recorded the message in advance. He liked watching the ending fireworks from the rooftops, it was always the best view.
With a grin he lept off the building, shocking a few people below, and snapped open a glider. With a laugh he zipped over the heads of the people below and headed to the travel center. He needed to get back to his home before it was to late, otherwise he might miss out on his new moon-light. It wasn't long until he reached the travel center and he got on a blimp to the center of the island. About an hour later he arrived at his home and was greeted by his closest friend Zack.
"So how was the show?" He asked upon seeing Brandon.
"It was actually really good. Everyone had a blast. You didn't come though, how come?"
Zack shrugged "Was tired actually. Oh, by the way, you have a foreign visitor waiting in the main hall. Says its important."
The thought of a foreigner with something important actually peaked his interest. He thanked Zack and headed inside. Waiting inside the entrance hall was a man who had the look of a messenger. He greeted Brandon as he handed him a sealed envelope.
"A letter from the President of The Independent Society for the New World Order. I shall wait here for your response."
Brandon opened it rather unceremoniously and read it, thanking him.
'To Brandon Goolsby the 5th,
I am Alexander, President of The Independent Society for the New World Order, known to most as New Beginning.
Today I am offering to you a chance of a lifetime, and to make it so it shall only be offered once. I have sent a manned space craft to the moon, and retrieved it. Upon the moon I have discovered an energy source, so powerful that with the proper equipment, a rock of it the size of your fist can power an entire nation for a year. I am offering the technology to unlock this new energy source to you, however this will not be freely given.
If you chose to accept my offer, you will be required to put down all arms and come to New Beginning for one week. During this week you and your closest staff will sit down with everyone else who chooses to claim the opportunity thus presented and talk. The talk will be on the topic of the future of the world.
A duplicate of this letter shall be sent to all of our fellow heads of state, declining will be a grave error on your part. The future is coming, and only those who attend shall be a part of it.
The bearer of this letter has full authority to speak in my name. They have all of the information that you should require.
The meeting will be held in 3 months from the date of this letter.
Alexander DuMont Mantez - President of The Independent Society for the New World Order
Dated April 28, 2014'
Brandon read over the letter a second time before looking over at the messenger.
"So... Why have i received this letter? We are no major power nor are we a large nation. We mainly just like staying out of most things."
The messenger merely shrug. "I do not know my leaders reasons, i merely follow his orders. Have you decided your response?"
Brandon nodded in response. "I have. Although we tend to keep out of others way and politics, i shall indeed attend. Also be sure to express my thanks for the invitation and opportunity. Also let him know that i shall bring a small gift." Brandon couldn't help but smirk a bit. A small prank was in order. He didn't like things getting to stuffy if it was going to be all political. He bid a farewell to the messenger and headed into his tinker room and started to make his 'gift' with a grin and a whistled tune.

Formal Name: The Kingdom of Weldenvarden
Casual Name: Weldenvarden
Government: Monarchy. Unlike current monarchies Weldenvarden's Monarch has actual power. This is due to the fact that the kings and queens of Weldenvarden believe that they serve their people. This gives the people of Weldenvarden unwavering loyalty to their Kings and Queens.
Constitution: no
Population: 23,877 (roughly)
Currency: Bartemaus (barts), small gold coins the size of quarters.
Geographic Location: A large island of massive trees about 2 miles from the coast of [name]. From the view of an airship it could be said to look like a jagged moon with a small bite out of it. The "bite" is the Gulf of Tartarus, named so by the sizable city on its inner coast. There is a rise to the land, making the center of the island the highest point, and the location of Du Grata.
Capitol: Du Grata, located at the center of the island.
Language: English, as they are descended from an English colony centuries ago.
Major Religion: There is no one religion that can claim dominance in Welduvarden. Churches and shrines to a variety of God's and goddesses dot the varies cities. This can sometimes cause minor fights and arguments between towns and cities and people, but never enough to cause a fight to break out. It is the Monarchs wishes that all religions be practiced freely.
Culture: although English in decent, they contain almost no cultural ideals from them beside the monarchy. Everyone has a certain job similar to a caste system, but they are not bound to their job. If they wish to try a new profession it is actually encouraged, but they will always be able to get a job that matches what is thought best for them by their Monarch. The people of Weldenvarden are very hard working, determined, and stubborn. Its said you'd have an easier time moving a mountain then haggle with a Weldenvarden merchant. They are full of music and celebrations. There is practically a different festival in a different city very month. Their cooking takes on an interesting mix of German and tai influences, and is considered by some to be some of the best cuisine you can find. There is a militia in each town that meets annually at Tartarus for mixed training for a month. Its part of the festival of towns, where each city gets together and shares its newest ideas, finds, arts, inventions, anything that hasn't already been shared. It lasts a month and is the site of some of the most amazing things you can find.
History: Weldenvarden was founded by a group of colonists fleeing from a nation similar to England to escape a tyrant known as Belial the Feared. He was a man who had taken a diplomatic society and taken over with a dictatorship, killing those who opposed him. When the group landed upon the island of massive trees they named it Weldenvarden, as an elderly man had said it was an old word for great forest. As people took off to different parts of the island to settle, more immigrants fleeing from Belial began to come to the island. Soon there were three major towns. Tartarus, a town of fishermen on a gulf; Caldun, a small village of hunters and trappers; and South Dawn, a rather large town of craftsmen. It wasn't long until Belial's eyes were on Weldenvarden. He sent out his army and had begun to take over what he thought was rightfully his. Weldenvarden was fighting a loosing war. A man and his wife, Brandon and Lena Goolsby, lived at the center of the island in a small cabin. Seeing what was happening to their newfound peace they rallied together the three towns and coordinated them into a formidable force that pushed out Belial. It wasn't long until the people under Belial rebelled and broke free, leaving for other places to call home. Some came to Weldenvarden. Because of what the Goolsbys had done, they were praised by the people. They responded with "it was just our duty to help the people of our land. Any of you would have done the same." It was that comment that started of the union of the three towns under the Goolsvy family. Although a monarchy, both the people and the monarchs never see it as such.
~timeskip~
Over the years Weldenvarden kept mainly to itself other then trade and peace treaties. Whenever wars broke out Weldenvarden simply kept out if it. But now a convening of powers has been called, and a messenger had arrived asking for the current kings presence.
Strengths: Being an island, its rather tricky to invade. There are only a few air landing areas because of the massive trees, so air invasions would be almost impossible. Invasion by sea is rather difficult due to the treacherous reefs that surround it. there are a few places that are safe to land, mainly Tartarus gulf.
Weaknesses: Because Weldenvarden is a somewhat excluded country, they don't really have to many allies, nor enemies for that matter. They also don't have the best of trade systems outside of wood exports. Being a smaller in number also reduces their fighting power simply because many nations are larger than it.
ECT: Some of the more interesting steam-inventions have come from Weldenvarden. thanks to its annual festival and South Dawn's people, who are mainly crafters by nature, major improvements and discoveries have been made to the tech that is steampunk.

Bio: Brandon, so named after the first ruler of Weldenvarden,grew up learning the ways of the family. From an early age it was apparent that he would live up to his namesake.

When he was 13 he even managed to make a simple automaton, a small bird that managed to fly and would follow him around. As a ruler of Weldenvarden, he looks after his people well, and is well respected among them.
Personality: Happy to help when he can, but will not hesitate to be harsh if needed. Very few occasions have brought about his harshness. Tends to joke lightly at most topics, and usually seems to not be listening while hes tinkering. The opposite is true. he actually focuses better when he tinkers.
