Nation Name: Daz'Kodan

Name: The Prole-Goblin Syndicates

Race: Prole-Goblins

Color: Flame Red

Fluff: Prole-Goblins are a small goblin tribe mostly known for overthrowing their unjust political and economic system based on exploiting the blood of the workers. After overthrowing the feudal lords, tribal chieftans, petty accumulators, reactionaries, scum, liberals, and others, the Prole-Goblins have established the first (mostly) freely-associated society in the world. It is a justly organized and sometimes awkwardly manages to maintain a balance between the democratic state and the worker-cooperatives. Long live the free workers and their free society! Death to the tyrants, criminals, usurpers, and capitalists!

Name: Takeda

Race: orcs

Color: white with red trim

Fluff: The orcs once a barbaric race capable of only fighting others and fighting themselves have finely bound together in true unity. Forming strict social and warrior codes to keep their bloodlust in check these people have overcome alot of their natural aggressions and problems. However they have been replaced with new ones. The orcs bound so heavily in their codes have lost a lot of their ability to adapt to new situations and developments outside of war. This has left a certain stagnation in their economic and political arenas.

FREEDOM - Your nation gains a bonus +1 in combat against repressed nations, but receives a -1 in combat against nations with a stability higher than yours.

SYNDERIL, FUCK YEAR - People probably don't like your absurdly overbearing attitude and the fact that you routinely bomb round-eared people to take their shit. You suffer a diplomatic penalty to all NPC relations. Not that you care. They just hate freedom.

INDEPENDENCE - Social reforms are met with harsh resistance. Particularly trying to take away every Elf's right to a mother fucking airship with a ram on it. It's their fucking right. Communist. You also suffer a penalty to mobilization because muh freedoms.

Bonuses/Eccentricities

Pick up That Can - Repression is the name of the game. So long as you maintain an active military presence in your territory stability is significantly harder to decrease, but you take additional damage from espionage by "free people". Fuckers.

Sea Dwarves - Your gain +2 on all naval combat rolls, but your land legs suck and you recieve -1 combat rolls on land.

Equality in Misery - Your nation doesn't have problems with accepting other races into the political body - provided they don't love freedom. You also gain a +10 bonus to all rolls to subjugate another nation or NPC town.

The Green Plague - On rolls of 80 or better for military recruitment you gain two units instead of one. The second unit is free.

Peace and Love, Man - God forbid another nation find drugs. That would fuck your draft system three ways to Tuesday.

>1 Ironvale by Galemount

Prosperity rings out almost as much as battlecries these days. But to keep trade flowing and our people… wealthy enough to not immediately kill each other, we need resources.

Things ripped from the earth, lands of bounty, and many more things that MAY exist in the Vale.

Or may not. That's the job of the crews to find out.

[Survey the land]

>2 Competitive History

The unification brought many historians into contact with each other.

They were not happy. "Your ancestors killed our ancestors' cousins!" "They have smidgen of Dwarf in them, they're invaders! They must be destroyed!" "They don't even sacrifice people, the heretics!".

And so on.

But a common theme remained: A massive distrust of invaders.

If only we could get them to see Ironvale as a whole and the outside as Invaders, rather than near every other tribe as Invaders.

Hmm.

[Get Historians Drunk/High/Angry enough to get a national narrative going]

>3 This land is my land, that land is also my land. Get off my land.

The tribal leaders are not fond of sharing with one another. It doesn't help that they don't have defined borders or a way of arbitrating these sorts of things without bloodshed.

The King, so far as you can call him a king, has an idea:

Define the boundaries of each tribe, plant stakes, use the surveys gained from the air. Then the results will be put on the map.

1/2 - After a lengthy and heated debate, involving a great deal of alcohol and shouting, the Elves of Synderil agree that there aren't enough Elves of Synderil. "Now I may not be wunna dem economatologists," offers Heldir, a local farmer "but I reckon we's oughta git more money if we wants em to y'know, 'imegrate' here! Erryone loves money, an we ain't got it!"

The council is in agreement, ceding to the wisdom of their colleague.

3 - Meanwhile, all across the great nation, the Elves of Synderil have already started making more Elves of Synderil as encouraged. Not that they needed much encouragement.

>RESEARCH

Cassius Somael, a leading researcher in Zeppelin technology, is called in to meet with Top Brass. Top Brass was a slightly portly, well-groomed old elf with a protruding mustache that seemed to have petrified and given him a permanently stiff upper lip. The browning stars on his helmet that give him his title gleam in the dull midday light. He rubs out a thick cigar into his ashtray, always keeping his face out of the light.

"Cassius, is it?" "Yes sir, Cassius Somael." The frail man nods quickly. He was never one for military service. Just give em "yes sir" or "no sir" and nod your head and get out of there as soon as possible. "I didn't ask for your life story, boy. We've got a proposition for ya. Consider it an honor, really. You did good work with the Warship before, boy, now you've got another opportunity to serve your country!"

Cassius nods again, more guardedly this time. He loved his country, of course. Every Sinderilan did, just… he prefered to show his patriotism at a safe distance, away from all of this. But when Top Brass calls, you answer. "It'd be an honor indeed, sir."

"Good, now listen carefully…"

>Begin research on quicker and better production of zeppelins

>RANDOM EVENT

It is often during mundane events that great revelations are had. In this case, it's during the weekly sacrificing of a steer to the god of the Synderil, known simply as The Liberator. After the cow's head is cut off, it is thrown into the ritual fire around which the celebrants gather. Kurth Maleiris, while watching the cow simmer on the fire, realizes just how delicious it smells. People had eaten beef before, but it was always too tough for his tastes - wait! That's it! If he could tenderize the cow's meat, shape it into a more palatable form and *then* cook it, it would be perfect! He runs back to his farm, ideas of cheese coverings and sizzling beef filling his mind. This could perhaps be the greatest invention Synderil will ever know!

1. A few of the local worker-syndicates have been reporting that there is a severe problem with foodstuffs and shortages. After a meeting that lasted four hours, it was generally agreed that more farms should be built to meet the needs of the population. [builds farms]

2. The Syndicates begin their work expanding in every direction. They think that by expansion, the additional resources brought to them will be useful in freeing the rest of the working people from their respective oppressor or tyrant. [expand]

3. Recruitment of more prole-goblins to the army has begun. Another series of meetings takes place, but the syndicates-general seems very pleased with this wave of recruits. They are not only well versed in Prole-Goblin theory, but they are also numerous and can quote the greats! [recruit military][The Green Plague]

4. The world revolution is clearly about to begin. To that end, many prole-goblin agitators have begun to meet on how to overthrow the capitalist order and the tyrants in a clandestine way. It is thought this will help the ability of the workers to destroy the hated snakelike enemy in their lair! [research espionage/revolution]

1&2. High priest Vol looks around the table at the other high priests. As the High Priest of the god of money it was his job to announce the economic state of the lands. "We are loosing money." This was no surprise to anyone. "We must find a way to increase our economic gains. I propose we open a trade route with our neighbor to the south east. The Synderil Republic."

Resource [Religious Texts]

Ironvale - Green

1. If this land has riches your survey teams sure haven't found them.

2. The Historians do get drunk but they mostly just get angry and fight each other. Ironically enough they later comment that this is really a fairly accurate representation of the history of the Vale and consider it a success. The King is irritated that they didn't actually do anything.

3. The King shows a remarkable amount of political skill in dealing with the various tribes. His provincial system both divides the power of the tribes but also increases his own authority and power.

The Dwarves go a little bit of scouting but eventually decide to go home after writing "Koz wuz here" on the wall with their urine. That night several guards wind up dead. Then more. Several homes are ransacked by "giant rats". At least the survivors claim they were giant piedal rats with spears and crude swords. After they made their attacks they escaped back underground. As usual - everyone assumes that it was the work of organized criminals making their usual hits and that the people claiming it was giant rats are insane. They're thrown into the sea for insanity.

The order was subsequently given that efforts to be made to increase the amount of current the syndicates bring in! True, it is capitalist to desire money for personal vainglory, but it will be required to maintain the army. Once the revolution carries through the toppling of world economic hegemony, such things won't be required. If that doesn't work, we require more industry to develop the nation further! [increase currency/turn]

2. The redguard have continued clearing and occupying space for more syndicates and resources for the supreme council. As of current, the council is on the look out for more raw space as to defeat a sustained attack from the reactionary scum that no doubt people the world like lice in a burning wig. Resources, of course, would also be good. The supreme council seems favorably disposed toward the current expansion efforts; handsome posters now adorn the walls of the syndicate-capital and the surrounding syndicates. Our heroic pioneers will secure the world for the workers and their free society! [expansion]

3. Recruitment begins of the first spies and infiltrators in the nation! They are trained in the most advanced infiltration, subterfuge, and rhetorical strategies. Such methods will avoid bloodshed and will be able to mitigate the profound and awful costs of a major war against the vile capitalists and their equally vile (and powerful) armies. They must be trained in infiltration, sabotage, and other method! [train spies][The Green Plague?]

1. Work on the temple stalls as shipments of goods are lost to banditry.

2. Investigation of the magical glade proves strange. There's nothing here but some really odd trees. They glow and hum at night and it's super fuckin' creepy m8.

3. The farm is completed on the Fertile Land. Add building [Farm] Set Food to [Excellent] add Resource [Food surplus]

4. Ship research does along fantastically. As it turns out they were just missing some fairly basic concepts when it came to the hull design. They've since fixed it. [Military: Ship Building II] Add unit Fluff [Medium, Sea, Fast Upkeep: free]

5. The great fish is really more like a great eel. The boy sees it rear out of the water and fire some sort of heat beam from it's mouth, frying an equally large bird which it promptly devours. Fuck man. This place is scary.

The Wands of Power - Your nation has two units equipped with strange wands no one can replicate. They explode when tinkered with. They're extraordinarily powerful though. These two units have incredible influence over the government. So long as a Wandslinger unit is left alive you cannot lose stability.

Patriotism - Your nation resists well. You gain additional units when defending.

Elected Officers - You gain a +10 on coordnation rolls.

Religious Fervor - You gain +1 on all combat rolls against a nation not following your religion but -1 against nations that are of your religion.

Seaworthy - You build one free additional naval vessel on rolls of 80+ for building ships.

1. Continue work on the temple. It should be done soon.

Rolled 63, 83, 77, 39, 40 = 302 (5d100)

1/2 - More troops is handy, but they're taxing our economy further. And if there's one thing we can't stand, it's taxes. This debt's a pain in the ass, we need to stimulate it with some extra revenue, and that means trade! Let's go out searching for new routes to propagate our glorious culture and bountiful resources, in exchange for money!

3 - Y'know we've got the ability to build with stone n' shit, but we ain't got any! Figure there outta be some nice lodes around here somewhere, just strike that earth and find some will ya? More resources we gots to sell, the better!

RESEARCH - The farmlands of Synderil provide them with a wealth of food, and even a surplus. But their new focus on cultivating wealth with resources demands greater returns. The farmers are getting higher quotas, and the researchers of the realm have a daunting task to help keep up demand. Better irrigation is what they need, to get larger crop return. With the sea so near, it shouldn't be too hard an issue.

RANDOM EVENT - Waltir, seeing the poor plight of his dwarves and the complaints therefrom, decides to do something about it. New regulations, safer conditions (or at least, safe enough that they don't get as many casualties), and people to watch over the workshops and make work more efficient in general. Furthermore, he begins to branch out, from just pots and pottery to small clay and ceramic tools for every day use. Waltir-Mart, a shop designed to sell these tools and pots, opens up in the capitol.

[Prole Goblin Fluff: Explosives]

In some squat basement, a beet-faced goblin worked nervously. His name, Bozmak, had developed a reputation as the local inventor and general expert about fireworks. Whenever the local construction teams and builders needed to figure a way to move things, they came to him. He was something of a local figure and had developed a good reputation. He even taught young prole-goblin classes in his spare time – to them he was simply comrade Bozmak, and the children were his “little comrades”.

Bozmak had been awake since early in the morning working on a trigger; he always woke up early driven by the typical frustrations of artist to express something. Bozmak's house in itself was extremely modest by even the standards of the syndicates: two rooms, with a basement being the room he found himself within constantly. In the house above lived Bozmak's numerous cats, who, as a general habit, demanded constant food and only caused problems for Bozmak's work. The end result is that Bozmak worked in his basement alone with all of his grading and all of delicate work mushed together; certain projects of interest lay strewn in piles loosely askew and sometimes splayed everywhere. Suddenly, there was a knock as Bozmak's ground level front door.

The knock came again almost as soon as the second ended. This time there was a voice calling. Bozmak, confused, climbed up the ladder to the first floor and opened the door. The visitor was the syndicate defense council and affinity group representative - a comrade by the name of Xibby. She smiled and asked to speak with him for a few minutes. Admittedly, Bozmak himself didn't particularly like visitors - even pretty ones - but his affections quickly caved in as a clash of eros made short work of the anxiety. His hands trembled slightly, awkwardly, as he attempted to make small conversation. “Oh, h-ello Xibby, it is good to see you again. I hope your family is well?”

Xibby smiled a little bit, sensing advantage. “They are doing extremely well Bozmak. They have a new house thanks to the constant expansions laid out by the supreme council.” She paused. “You seem to be doing very well for yourself here.” Bozmak nodded and mumbled a series of affirmatives. He didn't quite know what to say; Bozmak saw her during meetings sometimes but didn't have much social grace to work with.

Xibby was, in the strict sense, a goblin of feminine power and a constant object of affection. However, quite unlike some of this ilk, she knew it. As such, Xibby exuded both confidence and power in such volume that most of the males of her kind (and more than a few females) were lured into her gravity. These qualities, as one might suspect, served as tinder for her other traits: a generally attractive face and figure with flame red hair tied smartly left a wake of profound aching desire. Indeed, Xibby had left a ruinous trail of smashed hearts, dalliances, whimsies, and amusements like wreckage in a neat line. This activity translated not at all into her work: she was a good anarchist first and a predator on her own time.

Xibby continued. “Anyway, Bozmak. I've been made aware that you have certain devices and that you are skilled in their manufacture and usage…" Suddenly Xibby trailed off looking at Bozmak's desk - a weird mixture of notes, scribbles, shorthand ideas, and personal thoughts. Bozmak's very careful calculations occasionally interrupted their chain of logic with an odd creature, a flying turtle, or a cute animal. Xibby thought the turtle was exceedingly cute and she found herself vexed by it for some reason.

Bozmak started eagerly as he gained confidence to speak properly to the object of his recent affections. Bozmak, was, at least according to female goblins and a smaller amount of male ones, attractive. It's not clear why: his apparently open and calm nature was tempered by constant smiling and fidgeting that apparently didn't put comrades off. Instead, such fidgeting, oddly, invited assistance and cooperation. "Yes, I've been working on some ways to clear rocks and debris. I've almost lost my hand a few times, but I think the device will be useful to help the syndicates. Do…you you think it will help the militias? I mean…it does…explode with some force…you could probably hurt big trolls…or..something…"

Xibby stopped looking at the drawings on the table and turned to look at Bozmak. She smiled wide – wide enough to see her eye teeth. “Absolutely Bozmak. That sounds great. You should tell me about it.”

Actions:

1. The idea of a self sustained outpost able to exist outside of our borders slowly evolves into what may as well be a small, independent, town. A community of explorers and colonists will be sent to a far away location on our maps, most likely near a valued resource. The town would first be set up to become indpendant from supplies from the homeland, ensuring a supply of water, food, and other necessities. Once this was done, then the surrounding areas could be sought for resources.

A town could be built near another civilization, and be used to facilitate trade and the exchange of our culture with theirs.

>[Expansion: Colonization I] 3/4

2. Several missionaries and artisans and adventurers have requested to become passengers on the various caravans leaving the Golden Caliphate, seeking to spread the faith of Tash or imbibe upon the vast diversity and new sights to be seen in the world.

The government decides it would be wise to officially endorse such a thing. To spread our glorious culture to other nations and city states.

This would allow not only [money] income when we open up trade routes with other nations, but also [culture] might increase as well.

>[Cultural Exchange Caravans/Trade Routes]

3. The Military branch of the great college decree's a need for a previously non-important series of powders and minerals, sulfur being one of them. Evidently they have some big plan in mind involving this material once reserved only for small fireworks.

It was thought, if such a thing was dangerous per accident, how much more dangerous could it be when harnessed as a weapon on purpose?

>Explosives

Military Focus - Your research and development of military matters receives +5 to the roll

The Golden Caliphate

1. A massive sandstorm blows through the Caliphate and buries many of the colonization posts. Some traders think they saw a city off in the distance after the storm, but those are inconclusive. Set Expansion: Colonization to 1/4

2. Add Technology [Cultural: Missionary Work I]

3. All they find is sand.

4. And more sand.

5. The warrior is quickly joined by nine others who surround the poor missionary. He is hog-tied and taken to a small town in the depths of this mountain's jungle. They don't kill him, and seem to be rather eager to attempt to talk with him and most definitely to talk -about- him. Eventually they decide to let him go, but another warrior accompanies him all the way back to the one remaining outpost. The pair learn the rudimentry bit of their language and can hold very short and simple sentences.

3. Some hisotirans examine the stones and theorize that they were used to talk to the land. Other historians say that they're some sort of ritual site. A single crazy guy suggests that they might be a portal. Clearly more work needs to be done here. 1/4

Then the mermaids and mermen come from the shore and eat a large number of goblins before disappearing back into the surf. Fucking mermaids. -1 population

4. Several enterprising goblins put their heads together and invent a rather potent incindiary device. They call them Gobotovs and they're extremely good at setting things on fire. [Military: Incindiaries I]

5. The meetings get heated. There's some yelling, some thrown chairs, and some hurt feelings but surprisingly only a few people got sent to the gulags. In the end the meeting came to a decision on the best and most revolutionary ideas. +3 culture

The Holy See

1. You draft a fluff [Medium]

A lack of resources. That is what this desert presented. Miles and miles of empty sand. If the Caliphate where to get their hands on a great number of things, they would not be present in this desert.

The focus once more, shifts to trade, to bring to the Caliphate what the desert lacks in its barren hostility.

1. It is said that to the north of us lies the kingdom of Brigg Nought. They are a people of a different faith, and these heathens are at least strong in their conviction.

It was hoped that if we can reach them through trade and exchange, the door might be open to reach them through the words of the prophet. For now, we shall let the merchants open the door for us.

Great caravans and camels go forth to meet them and offer goods.

>Set up a Trade Route to Brigg-Nought

2. In addition, another trade route was sought to be opened to the Amazons. Through some short and simple conversations, we were able to get a basic idea of the things they found valuable.

Trade is the universal language, maybe we could use it to grow closer to these amazons

When the molten rock bursts from the top and cools as it flowed from the mountain side and into the rivers, explorers report a very strong smell of sulfur. Would this be the key to the weapons of fire they so sought?

[Goblin Fluff 3]

The Revolution Day parade had started and it was largest iteration seen in years; the main drag of the syndicate of Ooglewelp teemed with goblins eating, laughing, and watching the parade go by. The parade itself was typical of prole-goblin parades generally: it had crudely manufactured floats containing historical information about the revolution, cute cartoony figures for the younger goblins, and, the occasionally bawdy display for the remainder portions of the crowd. Overall the organizers had underestimated the amount of goblins to be present this year – when pressed they suggested that “the recent successes of the syndicates have really put the fire into people.”

At a rather unassuming booth two recruiters for the militias for self-defense had massively underestimated the required stock of crude buttons and brochures they would need. By early in the morning they had run out, and more had to be hastily fabricated at a nearby printer and handed out while the ink was still partially wet with the buttons being reduced to crude lettered lumps of metal.

The recruiters – a goblin named Bizz and his comrade Jobby – frantically worked the crowd with their practiced and well conducted methods. The methods, mostly intellectual but sometimes rhetorical, seemed to win over vast crowds from the parade. Bizz himself constantly stood on top of the booth while shouting, flailing with his free hand, and waving a small red and black flag emblazoned with a molotov and a hammer. In contrast, Jobby took the 'straight' approach and simply tried to provide a measured responses. Above them sat a large banner that said: “COMRADES! DO YOUR DUTY FOR A FREE WORLD!”

The well-organized line to the booth snaked from the booth down the street as the noise of the parade trundled by. Many of the goblins lined up were veterans from the revolution demobilized after the war and offered a chance to settle and have families. For them, the quiet life of family and peace would never be enough: the call to liberate the world drowned out the petty average amusements that constitute the simple provincial life. To a goblin – male, female, or otherwise – they eagerly smile as the recuiters take their names.

World Event: There is a rumbling and a shaking throughout the forests of the land. Has something woken up?

Ironvale

1. The air war against the bandits is extremely effective. [Military: Air War I]

2. Your researchers discover that it is in fact possibly all three of those things. They kidnap a random girl from a village and sacrifice her. The response they get seems to come from the forest itself. A great booming voice asks, "What do you want from the Wyld Hunt?" "Power!" Snaps one researcher, and the group is inudated with the power of NATURE. Some researchers feel that this may have an unintended cost. This sie may have been lost for a reason after all.

3. Expansion occurs! Wagons West!

4. The goblin's naturally small size and quickness leads them to take to guerilla tactics like white to rice. The innovative use of incidiaries, booby traps, and ambushes make them into a frightening force in familiar terrain. [Guerilla Tactics I]

5. The Parade goes well, many young prole-goblins are instantly in love with the crude but lovingly made cut outs. The constant parades and meetings shape prole-blin culture into something that is actually seen as rather community-oriented and desirable. +2 culture

1. While the harpies are willing to join, some of the leading oligarchs of the Sovereignty oppose the measure and it stalls.

2. The political fight over the harpies has spread to a freeze on building supplies in the captiol and the harbour construction never gets off the ground.

3. You manage to identify one of the magical swords; it seems to be linked to fire. The person holding it felt themselves growing very hot - uncomfortably so but not harmfully.

1. Several new wagons have been developed, and they roll out. The new wagons are twice as large as the previous wagons and benefit from special new technology – rounder wheels – that are easily towed! It's incredible comrades, you wouldn't believe it. The syndicates general planning council is thrilled and there are posters about the new "mega-wagon" everywhere. Time will tell if the new wagon is actually good, or if it was just posturing. [expand]

2. Several more squads set out to find any minerals they can. Metals, specifically. After all, how can we have weapons without metals? Obviously, the answer is not very good weapons! Clearly. [search for metals]

3. The syndicates have been trying to increase their production recently, as they think that their industrial strength is underrated when compared to the other nations. After some debate, the decision is made to increase the industrial base in both size quality. Perhaps it will lead to a factory? Who knows. [expand industrial base]

4. Research [research ranged weapons]

–

Not content with their explosives, several goblins have been working on ranged weapons – crude ones – in order to mitigate their size disadvantage. The prole-goblin military theorists – it's really just one goblin – thinks that all of the detriments that prole-goblins feel in combat could be mitigated by simply attacking from afar! Amazing!

1. A new plan is decided, rather than build a colony in a random location, we would build one close to Brigg-Nought! This would facilitate even better trade and allow for better cultural relations as well 2/4

2. These lands are dangerous and frought with peril, sometimes caravans have a habit of being lost. We will just have to send another one better equipped to protect themselves, and try to re-establish trade.

3. Our people are requesting additional sources of gold for the creation of currency. I suppose we will need to start mining the nearby mountains in search of more.

[Research]

Turning affairs to expanding our influence, our engineers work on more adequate road systems. This would improve the yield of trade routes, as well as allow for more secure troop movement.

[Random event]

There is just so much more to be learned of these Amazons and more we do not know, their jungle kingdom has many resources, and their fighting spirit is strong. They take slaves, just as we do, and they have their own laws and customs, and they are believers in tribal honor and a code, such as our own warriors do. They would make fine servants of Tash, and it would be well to bring them to our side.

Save for one thing, and this is by far no small thing.

They are a people completely alien to us. Our women are taught to remain humble, and to serve the husband at home with obedience. And yet this is how they treat their men, to watch over the young ones at home. Our warriors are strong men, and theirs are women.

This incredible discord may be source of future conflict if we cannot begin to understand each other. I am sure our amazement at them likely translates to their confusion while viewing us.

It is wondered if some sort of cultural exchange could be made, where we would exchange people to live between us, among the other nation, and come to understand each other. This could end up good or it could be disastrous, but the chance at gaining understanding and laying the foundations for a future alliance is worth the risk.

5. The Vanu Matriarchy is holding a "Month of Fertility"

Name: the Vanu Matriarchy

Race: Drow (raptor-riding jungle kind, not underdarkies)

Color: Light purple with deep purple trim

Fluff:

The Vanu are a proud and noble nation. A coalition of houses banded together to raise up new glories to Vanu through mastery of all those who would oppose her. Originally formed by the clergy to fight off apostates and barbarians, the coalition formed into a more permanent alliance as the houses saw the power they could attain through unity–allowing each house to further specialize.

In-fighting is kept to religiously sanctioned duels and debates, with temporary exile more common than political murder. Maneuvering is an important aspect of Vanu culture, but destruction of useful life for personal gain is deemed negligent at best and narcissism, or even treason, at worst. Temporary exile usually sees itself played out as captaincy on extended voyages, as maritime power and authority are key to the Vanu Matriarchy.

Government Type: Caste System based on bureaucratic exams and physical trails–the best AND brightest men become generals who hold theoretical power, and best and brightest females become their Mistresses who hold de facto power due to gender norms + tradition.

Noble Houses are only quasi-bloodline based–the Matriarch is the most adept member of the family, and dumb\weak members are disowned whereas talented children of peasants are adopted into the families with great regularity.

Economy Type: Command Slave-Based Economy, Great Houses allocate their slaves however they so please–art, trade, industry, etc.

Religion: Mother Scorpion Goddess, Vanu Herself

Bonuses/Eccentricities:

The Red Plague - Your nation gains a bonus on espionage rolls to reduce stability.

Better Red Than Dead - On rolls of 80 or better for military recruitment you gain two units instead of one. The second unit is free.

Da Comrade, Is Fine - Your nation has issues with accurate reporting. Probably because no one wants to be gulag'd. On rolls of 24 or lower you have a chance to lose stats instead of gain them. On the positive side you're immune to stability effects above [Active Rebellion] which only occurs once your Stability hits the -2 point.
