I'll be absent for this weekend. Come monday, though, I'll put up the IC, so you guys have until then to finish up your NS's.

Yes. But, it doesn't have to be Vahir, though it would be preferable since he is the GM, I was just asking if someone would look over it.
Your NS is a bit block of texty, but I see no problems with the content itself. As for the content, it's your nation, after all, so I'm not really well placed to tell you "No, your government should be X, your capital should be called Y". When it comes to things like this, no comment is a good comment. (Or at least that's my philosophy)
Nation name: The Cesian Republic
Race: Dwarves primarily, though there is a significant population of non-dwarven slaves.
Type of government: Republic
Faction: Founder and leader of the Ingrian League
Ruler: The Republic is lead by an assembly, drawn from both the aristocracy and the commoners, with a speaker wielding executive authority. The current Speaker is Tismar.
Capital: Cesia
Administration: Very little of the lands under the Republic are directly controlled by the Assembly. Most of the cities are Crotyns, a term for allies who have given up foreign relations to Cesia in exchange for protection and autonomy. Though they are required to field levies for the Republic's defense, they are not represented within the Assembly, a right given only to Cesian citizens. Those regions under the direct control of Cesia are divided into marshaldoms, governed by a marshall apointed by the Assembly.
Military: The Cesian Republic has no standing army. Instead, when war threatens, the Assembly selects leaders amongst itself to raise armies in each marshalldom, which then converge to an agreed location, traditionally Cesia itself. This combined army is led by the Armory Master, another member of the assembly, who is placed above all except the Assembly itself. Armory masters are generally veterans of previous conflicts who have distinguished themselves on the field. In addition to this core army, auxillaries are raised in the Crotyns of the Republic, with each unit varying in size and led into battle by a representative of their own city.
History: Cesia's history began when dwarven settlers from the north colonized some of Lera. This colony soon grew, and it became a major city by the year 417. At this time, it was a kingdom lead by a High King in the traditional dwarven fashion, with ingrained aristocracy and ancestor worship central to the culture. However, as time passed, the balance of power shifted to the wealthy merchant class, who desired to form a plutocracy.
When the last High King refused their demands to induct them into the nobility in 483, a civil war was sparked which saw the destruction of the old order. For the next century, the Republic focused on cementing the republican traditions of Cesia, and eradicating the very concept of monarchy from their society. This period of isolation was ended when war broke out with the neighbouring city-state of Ingria in 560. The conflict was long and grueling, and even though peace was finally brokered, three other wars broke out, each bloodier than the last. At the end of the fourth war, the Cesian army razed Ingria to the ground, bringing back each stone, brick and pillar to Cesia, where they were displayed as a monument to the glory of the Republic. To Cesians, Ingria has become synonymous with the military power of their nation. Since then, they have expanded slowly yet surely, colonizing new lands and adding new Crotyns to their web of alliances. In the century before 743, they have also begun expanding on the mainland of Agra, threatening and sometimes even attacking allies of the declining Norin Kingdom.

Would it be okay if I asked someone to look over my N.S. and give me tips on what I could elaborate on or add?
I have no issue with people getting their NS reviewed.

Absolute Neutrality isn't an option, it says in the NS.
I gave him an exemption. Just in this one case. After all, it isn't the same war if there isn't a peaceful party to sway or to dogpile.
Interesting.
Alright, for those who want to discuss on IRC go to here and go to channel #FiatBello.

By the way, when the IC eventually starts you should totally have the map on the first post.
Err, the map IS on the first post. In one of the hiders? At least it should be. Image uploading sites are so unreliable.

The fractions are perfectly matched in supporters, galan 5 and ingria 5. Also will you be holding world events like plague outbreaks, hostile NPC nations, etc?
Later on I'll do stuff like this, but for a while I'll just leave the story moving to the two factons, see what that gets us.
Hm, what about if I left a swathe of desert between the two of you? Would that be fine, guys?
Next monday. So you guys still have a week to finish your NS's.
