It is the Age of Sail and YOU have set out to the "New World" to seek whatever it is you seek most. Are you here for adventure? Perhaps wealth. Or maybe even the power that goes with forming your colonies all throughout this new land. Whatever it is that has dragged you here you are not alone in that quest. There are others who seek the same that will stand in your way.. And the land itself will fight you every step of the way.
This is a NB/HB thread. There are three nation "Classes" to choose from.
Colonial Charter: You are head of a colonial effort from your home country, You have the financial and manpower backing that they can provide. This is a double edged sword however, they may make unreasonable request or punish you for decisions they deem inappropriate.
Independent: You may be a Merchant coalition trying to seek it rich, a group of religious refugees, or even a roaming pack of fishermen seeking better waters. Whatever you are, you take the dangerous journey at your voalition, you have no backing and no master. It will be an arduous undertaking, but at least you are free
Outlaw: Whether you are a pirate outfit, slavers, or a group of marauders, you are the outcast of society and you like it that way. Everyone hates you and you are actively out to steal the fruit of other players hard work. It can be very profitable but it will be very difficult. Your people complain less when lacking creature comforts but to survive you will need to pillage and steal your way through life. Honest merchants won't trade with you but black markets prove to be useful assets in the new world.
Heroes can be anything or nothing, the world is your oyster and can be anything for you.
(Keep in mind this is LOW fantasy, the only magic from the "European" side is very basic holy magic that constitutes healing and the like, it is very reagent heavy as well. You can use historical countries if you wish but I would prefer you to make up your own. Assume Age of Sail tech level, Decent gunpowder tech but melee still has its place.)

Name: The Expeditionary Force of the Xerxiad Caliphate
Country of Origin: The Xerxiad Caliphate
Country Fluff: http://pastebin.com/E7s9PWvG
Nation Fluff:
The Caliphate Colonial Expeditionary Force.
The Caliphate prides itself on gunpowder and large ships. Not the first to discover gunpowder, they were its greatest admirer and proponent, inventing gigantic bombards and heavy mortars, and their access to numerous forested states provides them with an overwhelming supply of lumber and manpower.
They favor large and extremely armed ships of gigantic size, as heavy ships of the line form the bulk of their navy. This is in stark contrast to the European and Eastern style, who favor lighter, more maneuverable and numerous ships such as destroyers and frigates and cruisers. Slow, but well armored and massively gunned on all sides, while notoriously easy to outpace at sea, it is known that only those who seek to catch a tiger by the tail tend to challenge a Caliphate ship without overwhelming numbers.
The Expeditionary force has been sent on such a ship, to establish a colony in the new world, and see what new peoples there are to be taught the way of many ways, and to hear of the truth of all truths.
Nation Type: Colony Multi-charter (that is, sanctioned by the Caliphate, but supported by funded by numerous states wishing to invest in the new world.)

Name: Belico Nervi
Country of Origin: Mellia, a Renaissance city state in the west of the old world. The small nation has recently been devastated by piracy and crime, and is unofficially ruled by a group of mercenaries.
Profession: Pirate is such an ugly word…
Fluff: Belico grew up in the crime ridden underworld, abandoned by- oh, no wait, that was a lie. Belico grew up the son of a mercenary captain, dealing with the insane mess of political intrigue in the small republic. He learned quickly, and managed to rather successfully outlive all of his siblings. The young man, through pragmatism, ruthlessness, and a personal dislike of mimes managed to escape the nation on his father's death, selling everything he could in order to purchase a ship and scarper to the new world.
Now he's there, on a sickly little ship with the remnants of his father's mercenary company, and a devoted obsession with the good things in life, much to his own detriment. Well, lets see where the world takes him, hopefully not back home into the waiting pikes of his former uncles.

Name: Agurian Freehold
Country of Origin: Aguria
*Country Fluff: Aguria - the land of constant turmoil. Located at the borders of three of the largest powers in the old world, Aguria has long been a country that had found itself not in charge of its own fate. The land itself is fertile and rich, more of a curse then a godsend, as armies from the three powers would often pillage it's lands for their wealth, and as such, the people quickly learned to not grow attached to many things they owned, be it crops, cows, daughters for pillage or sons for war. In the brief times Aguria was not located firmly under the heel of foreign oppression, it was often torn apart by the various parties fighting for control of its vast wealth. Feed up with this constant cycle of death and destruction, the Agurians took to the earth, hiding low from those who would oppress them and take what was theirs. Deep underground they dug and dug, until they arrived at a port city near the coast. There, using the resources they had left from their old lives and what little they had garnered in their underground exodus, they bought a few ships, ratty things that would carry them to this "new world" And that they did, though a few were lost on the journey there, and none at all survived the "landing"; that in and of itself being the Agurians swimming the last few hundred feet to shore, they were finally free at last, captains of their own destiny for the first time in their nation's history. They aim to make the most of it. Back in the old world, the mystery of what happened to the Agurians still perplexes the three power to this day, and their conflicts still fuel the fires of war over the now vacant land, fighting as much for blood debts and vengeance as honor and territory.
Nation Fluff: The remains of the once humble nation of Aguria, they now seek to make a new, free home among the vast lands of the new world. They have only the shirts on their backs and what little they managed to salvage from their now-sunken ships. A hard people used to adversity, they will overcome this challenge, as they have all challenges before it, and they will all challenges after it.

Country of Origin: Zelgund
*Country Fluff: Zelgund is a hard cold lonely island in the north. It's small and has a narrow growing season. It would be totally worthless except for two things, one an incredibly large mine of gemstones important to the Holy Church, and the large forests housing much wood, as well as monstrous creatures that call them home. The mine gives Zelgund a disproportionately large amount of wealth and world pull. The forest allows for the island to build up a rather impressive and highly mobile navy, which protects the island from those who would take the mine. Thus Zelgund has long been considered a tough nut to crack, doable yes, but it would cause Church censure and require so many resources that who ever did break it would be left open to further aggression.
Nation Fluff: Absterlund is a funded venture by Zelgund to create a colony in the new world. It's purpose is to keep a pulse on the happenings, trade with locals, merchants an d natives, and to supply Zelgund with materials it lacks and must buy at greater cost.

1. After arriving on the passage sloop with these four other high-ranked inquisitors who traveled with me, it it time to set up our base. First, I must set the soldiers and workers who manned this ship up under me - they are essentially the Church's men already, but I must steadfastly establish myself in full command now that we have arrived. This is, after all, my mission. [Note: Sloops have 35 or so people on them, usually.]
2. With this in mind, we must begin construction of our home fort in these fertile lands - this spot should be fine enough. Start by constructing a sturdy, large enough palisade and gate, made from the hardwood of our surrounding trees.
3. Then, it would be helpful to get an immediate supply of food quickly running. Inside the fort, before we have even started to build the living space, we should dedicate the space and area to planting an area wide enough to comfortably sustain the population of this small fort. At maximum, this place should hold two hundred - for now, this small group does not need much in the way of food.

*Country Fluff: Located in the far east, it is a large and prosperous land now under the rule of the Xi Yong dynasty. After a great upheaval of the people, the mandate of the heavens was passed from the decadent Yung-shi and their bizarre cult, and passed onto the Righteous, yet non-spiritual Xi Yong. Preaching to the people the necessity of self reliance and finding your own spiritual calling under the guidance of Confusios, they cast out the foul cult, and rebuilt their nation. Now, with a stable and cemented kingdom, they look to the seas. The CTC are simply the first of many trading companies bound for this new world, and possibly new peoples.
Nation Fluff: Although not the largest of the Kingdom Companies, the CTC are well known for being the most opportunistic and risk taking of them all. This comes from a rather meek background as fishermen, that they eagerly seek to prove wrong. They are shrewd when it comes to low-level business, however and are always looking out for their own necks instead of others.

In an act of incredible diplomatic, cultural and military prowess the Duchy of Precia found itself able to unite the long divided Teetsche people under a single banner, forming the Kingdom of Teetscher Lands forming a new technological and military powerhouse in the center of !Europe.
Alienating many of the powers in the old world it was clear that the young Kingdom had few friends outside its own borders and while none of the other central powers were believed capable of defeating the young Kingdom in open warfare the fickle balance of power was threatening to shift once more with the emergence of new colonies in the far West.
It was clear to the King's advisors that the one thing the new cultural union required more than anything was time. Time to fortify its new borders and time to centralize the hundreds of tiny fragmented Teetsche nations into the industrial Moloch it had the very potential to become.
>Profession: Diplomat/Spy
>Fluff:
Not bordering any seas and with its neighbors more than unwilling to land a hand it was nigh impossible for the Königreich Teetscher Lande to expand and it was decided that the Kingdom would have to seek expansions in military, technological and industrial matters within its own borders.
In order to gain the time required to do so one of the Kings most experienced and ruthless spies was deployed. A man so cruel and lethal his mere deployment within a nations borders could be considered a declaration of war. A master of disguise little more is known about this deceptive character except for the Alias he is referred to in official government documents: the "Bazmann".
Sent to the New World he is tasked with straining relations between the old and the new world, strengthening independents and criminals while stealing technologies and artifacts, constantly seeking to expand Teetsch influence, potentially going as far as to secure new alliances for an otherwise isolated nation.

1. Russian Washington? While he was unable to make any connections regarding !Europe and any major cities Bazmann did recall an old folktale about the people from vast lands seizing their rightful lands in a far away colony. It was perhaps even somewhat befitting the situation now that he came to think about it.
Either way the plan would remain unchanged. "Obtaining" a basis for trade was an inevitable cause of action and would enable the Bazmann to operate properly.
2. Introductions to the various factions would be most important as well. Primary any pirates that may have been roaming the seas ensuring their good will, promising them ample business opportunities if they worked with instead of against him.
Should Bazmann be able to obtain reliable data about trade routes this could greatly benefit both him and the pirates.
3. And last but not least his task was still to make contact with the natives. Of course they were a barbarous and simple people, however orders were orders.

(Keeping first rolls divided by 100)
You catch a few but they are smarter then chickens. But you do have some luck since they aren't hostile. They do have a bit of a bite.. Nothing threatening though, Just a few of the men complain about flesh wounds from them.
2/4 Lumber mill.
1/6 port
>>21694
You scout along the coast and set up camp near a small lake in a cove just big enough to hide your ship from prying eyes. However the men are tired from the journey and don't accomplish anything else.
>>21695
You put a flag further up the beach. You men jokingly mention that you are "Emperor of Sand" for your vast tracks of… Sand.. They fail to see the grander plan perhaps.
The hills inland have scattered woodlands on them but they lack much density. You are surrounded by fertile grasslands though. Otherwise.. Nothing of interest.
Your men begin setting up a little fishing shanty 1/2
>>21697
You continue to train your skills in sword fighting, but its difficult without a real foe… 1/4 Adept Swordfighting
You gain Novice Agility
While the colony has no present offers other then basic law keeping and pest slaying.. You have heard there is a prospector exploring inland and you figure there MUST be some sort of adventure to be had.. (If you wish to join him I will allow you to "teleport" for the time being, or you can stay here and work with consul)
(Also, Your income is .2 a turn, as in 1/5 of a currency a turn, not 2 a turn)
>>21698
You make camp and settle on a lake with rivers flowing out towards the ocean (Not shown on map due to shitty tools, use your imagination) the men are too tired after the long journey to do anything else.
>>21713
(Given starting out is difficult I will give you options despite your shit rolls, git gud kid)
You set up a campsite in the cove. (Not pictured in the map, You didn't have your location in your post, No idea where you are at) You sail around for awhile making contacts and discuss a black market, No one seems to of heard any in this land yet. You can find trade work to do at any of the colonies taking goods to and from. One trader offered that a colony south had some kind of foodstuff that he thinks will be valuable in the other colonies.
>>21717
You build a lumber mill in rapid time (What color are you? Red? I thought i told you about keeping your color..)
What you think are mountains are merely just hills, You find some rocky areas that normally would contain ores but you don't find anything of note just yet.
The boat goes out and find (Roll Hidden) 5 fish to bring back. A good bounty for you today!
>>21718
You finish the lumbermill is good order! infact the men overstocked some resources and you will get a +1 progress to your next build project.
You explore inland a ways (I will get you a map later, I had already built all of the maps when i saw this. Will PM a description before your next turn is taken)
You find a few fruit trees one tile north.. But they look sickly and don't look sustainable. You pick what you can and don't think this will be your food source.. But it will work for now. +3 food
>>21726
You have a few buildings set up top. But you don't have too much to worry about. You begin excavating under the town, but you can't make it too big in the soft plains you settled in. 1/4 Small Cavern
You find some wild berries floating around in the fields. Its enough to eat off of but they are sparse and you aren't sure how they spread being seedless in the berry. +3 food (IE you can't farm these. On that roll anyay.)
You build a blacksmith shop and make a few tools with what little metal your brought with you. You will need a proper metal source to do much with it though. +2 Basic Tools (+5 to build rolls PRE-ROLL each)
+Blacksmith
>>21728
Thanks to your wealth from home your people could afford to bring grains with them. You set up a small wheat farm in the village. To expand it you will have to claim grasslands and build there.
+1 Grain per turn (You can eat it, or convert it into trade goods later with other buildings.)
You actually lack hilly areas and will have to find other ways to get metals.. But you have a vast supply of wood on the eastern side of the island. Some of the trees are unusual to what you are used to. It will require further exposure to understand them. On the west you have nice rolling plains for farming However you find no animal tracks.
You begin planning and building a harbor for ships. 3/6
>>21730
Thanks to a quality system (aka rolls) you begin harvesting pretty rapidly, You will need to conquer the territory and expand operations to get more though. +2 Sugarcrown Syrup per turn.
Other then the sugarcrowns, you don't find much more extraordinary in the forest. The men give up the search early in order to help with the palisade though.

Your Journey is slowed down time and time again by small errors and the land being a little more difficult to navigate then you had anticipated. However your careful preperations keep you going all the way to the edge of uncharted territory, you will have to rest today however. While you are going to develop a Prospected Map [East coast Hills (92) ] which notes out all of the metals you came across in your journey. This could be very valuable
>>21761
Given your bravery and mission, you settle as far east as is mapped. (On the beach just under purpleish, Will map you in next turn) (As a Hero you may have a CREW of 35 that you can try and recruit, but for the most part they are just ship crew, for balance reasons)
2: You begin building a hasty palisade, given the lack of many buildings or equipment you finish a quick palisade around the tents you brought with you. It will need to be expanded as your operations expands.
+Small Palisade
You never thought to bring anything with you but your swords.. So your men get to searching the nearby area for foods and find a plant with a big hearty root that is edible. Its a big bland and hard to eat raw, but its food. You set a few growing, enough to feed the fort for now. +Edible Root (It is orange when fresh and mellows out to a green color after aging a few days, No gain of food yet because you are a hero and lack the manpower to cultivate it in excess yet.)
>>21768
Coming from the opposite direction you land in some uncharted waters bringing with you new ideas, and more importantly new resources.
Bonus: [Asian Persuasian] You come from a whole new land, and with you comes rare resources. When your home country visits you can request unique resources that no one else can get and are worth very much. You also get a bonus to growing population
Negative: [Xenophobic Alien] Your people don't trust others and they don't trust you. Business will be difficult at first and the language barrier will be difficult. With bad luck they may actually regard you as natives.
+1 Civilian Frigate (Asian)
+5 pop
+5 food
+3 currency
>>21781
You scrap together a few pieces of trash that you can sort of pass off as wares.. But you will get a few questioning looks. +Weak Merchant Disguise
Trade is slow here for now, however you hear of a pirate faction up north by a few looselipped explorers. There are a few floating around but no one has heard of any attacks yet. However the colonies should be getting resupplied any day now..
You hear no rumors of natives yet.

Name: Absterlund
Country of Origin: Zelgund
*Country Fluff: Zelgund is a hard cold lonely island in the north. It's small and has a narrow growing season. It would be totally worthless except for two things, one an incredibly large mine of gemstones important to the Holy Church, and the large forests housing much wood, as well as monstrous creatures that call them home. The mine gives Zelgund a disproportionately large amount of wealth and world pull. The forest allows for the island to build up a rather impressive and highly mobile navy, which protects the island from those who would take the mine. Thus Zelgund has long been considered a tough nut to crack, doable yes, but it would cause Church censure and require so many resources that who ever did break it would be left open to further aggression.
Nation Fluff: Absterlund is a funded venture by Zelgund to create a colony in the new world. It's purpose is to keep a pulse on the happenings, trade with locals, merchants an d natives, and to supply Zelgund with materials it lacks and must buy at greater cost.

Start Position: Western edge of Island to the south
Name: Agurian Freehold
Country of Origin: Aguria
*Country Fluff: Aguria - the land of constant turmoil. Located at the borders of three of the largest powers in the old world, Aguria has long been a country that had found itself not in charge of its own fate. The land itself is fertile and rich, more of a curse then a godsend, as armies from the three powers would often pillage it's lands for their wealth, and as such, the people quickly learned to not grow attached to many things they owned, be it crops, cows, daughters for pillage or sons for war. In the brief times Aguria was not located firmly under the heel of foreign oppression, it was often torn apart by the various parties fighting for control of its vast wealth. Feed up with this constant cycle of death and destruction, the Agurians took to the earth, hiding low from those who would oppress them and take what was theirs. Deep underground they dug and dug, until they arrived at a port city near the coast. There, using the resources they had left from their old lives and what little they had garnered in their underground exodus, they bought a few ships, ratty things that would carry them to this "new world" And that they did, though a few were lost on the journey there, and none at all survived the "landing"; that in and of itself being the Agurians swimming the last few hundred feet to shore, they were finally free at last, captains of their own destiny for the first time in their nation's history. They aim to make the most of it. Back in the old world, the mystery of what happened to the Agurians still perplexes the three power to this day, and their conflicts still fuel the fires of war over the now vacant land, fighting as much for blood debts and vengeance as honor and territory.
Nation Fluff: The remains of the once humble nation of Aguria, they now seek to make a new, free home among the vast lands of the new world. They have only the shirts on their backs and what little they managed to salvage from their now-sunken ships. A hard people used to adversity, they will overcome this challenge, as they have all challenges before it, and they will all challenges after it.

Country of Origin: Hibernia
Profession: Brigand
Fluff: Every so often, the conservative arguments put forward about the nature of human evil and freedom hold merit. Every so often, an example of such feared assertions can be found, and those examples do much to support the most draconian impositions on human life – faced with such trauma caused by such creatures, human liberty must yield and all things good are left a shattered mess of violated tears. Indeed, such men, if they might be called men, are are hard to find, but they do exist: men like Cain Redwind are of sort. They are evil. Pure evil. but in no simple way that is simple or average – men such as him traumatize societies and cause them to question their own blood, doubt their faith, fear for their children, and hate their fellow man. Perhaps it is right for them to question these things: men such as Cain are inexplicable, awful, and persistent. They have no cause, and no solution. They frighten all souls. They are pointless in their viciousness. Utterly pointless.

Name: The Cathay Trading Corporation
Country of Origin: Cathay
*Country Fluff: Located in the far east, it is a large and prosperous land now under the rule of the Xi Yong dynasty. After a great upheaval of the people, the mandate of the heavens was passed from the decadent Yung-shi and their bizarre cult, and passed onto the Righteous, yet non-spiritual Xi Yong. Preaching to the people the necessity of self reliance and finding your own spiritual calling under the guidance of Confusios, they cast out the foul cult, and rebuilt their nation. Now, with a stable and cemented kingdom, they look to the seas. The CTC are simply the first of many trading companies bound for this new world, and possibly new peoples.
Nation Fluff: Although not the largest of the Kingdom Companies, the CTC are well known for being the most opportunistic and risk taking of them all. This comes from a rather meek background as fishermen, that they eagerly seek to prove wrong. They are shrewd when it comes to low-level business, however and are always looking out for their own necks instead of others.

Country of Origin: Nedelan
*Country Fluff: A small country in the north of the old world, Nedelan is a landlocked country. The rush to establish a foothold in the New World led the small, technologically advanced country to go on a warpath to the sea.

After taking control of the port city, Nedelan quickly began producing ships to ferry colonists to the new world.

Name: Belico Nervi
Country of Origin: Mellia, a Renaissance city state in the west of the old world. The small nation has recently been devastated by piracy and crime, and is unofficially ruled by a group of mercenaries.
Profession: Pirate is such an ugly word…
Fluff: Belico grew up in the crime ridden underworld, abandoned by- oh, no wait, that was a lie. Belico grew up the son of a mercenary captain, dealing with the insane mess of political intrigue in the small republic. He learned quickly, and managed to rather successfully outlive all of his siblings. The young man, through pragmatism, ruthlessness, and a personal dislike of mimes managed to escape the nation on his father's death, selling everything he could in order to purchase a ship and scarper to the new world.
Now he's there, on a sickly little ship with the remnants of his father's mercenary company, and a devoted obsession with the good things in life, much to his own detriment. Well, lets see where the world takes him, hopefully not back home into the waiting pikes of his former uncles.

1. Hmmph. With the new knowledge of the food trade routes, and their value, they seem like an excellent place to start. Head down to the presumably nearby colony and acquire some food for resale. (If it's permissible in one action, then go sell it in the north. If not, nevermind)
2. Practice commanding these men. A measure of charisma comes with the position, but it's not going to be enough in every case.
3. Start gathering some wood from the area around the camp to build up some defenses. We may not be colonials in any case, but a safe-house is always good.

Name: Venceslás Erasmo de Pedreña
Country of Origin: Espanolia
Profession: High Inquisitor in the New World
Fluff:
Savages.
Millions - and millions - of savages.
A whole new world found, full of land and resources for good, Ikaldr-fearing men. A whole new world, filled to the brim with heathen, idol-worshipping, hedonistic savages. Not one worshiper of the Celestial Titan throughout the whole of their barbaric, unenlightened tribes. It DISGUSTS me. In the lands to the east, the worship of the Keeper has been spreading well enough. Now, we have a whole new land to attend to. It is our destiny to own these lands, and all the scum that inhabit them.
They will convert, or they will die. I do not particularly care which. I will tear down their primitive totems and temples and build churches on their bones, and in the name of the Keeper, nothing will stop me until we own every inch of these heathen lands.
Every. Last. Inch.

Bonus: [Doing Gods Work] You are sent by the church and are the only hero that can request reinforcements or supplies. The church needs to be pleased with you however. They will occasionally offer gifts.
Negative: [Fanatical] There is no room for diplomacy with infidels and natives. You would not grant them your precious time. You must purge whatever heresy fills these lands. Covert, or die.
(Fucks sake mate, I've tried to talk to you three times on IRC about the gorillion mistakes and discrepencies and misinterpretations in stuff.)
1. First, we will set up basic necessities within the fort - living quarters, a small square, a command post for the Inquisition. And, of course, guard posts alongside the palisade. These are all simple projects, of course, and I suspect with haste and proper motivation in the name of the Lord above, we can get it done in record time. When we have a proper fort set up - then we will be able to raise the flag. Self-sufficient and ready to bring forth the Light.
2. Once the fort is set up, we will start exploring the reaches immediately around us and most accessible. It is better to find those around us and the proper resources of this land as fast as we can, and to scout the proper locations for the expansion of the Church. Mapping this land will be of critical importance to spreading the light of the Keeper.
3. With these tasks done, and the fort itself constructed, we can begin work on a somewhat more difficult project than setting up houses and guard lays - the first Church of the Celestial Titan in this new world. With these few men, it will not be much, certainly, and forced to stay inside the walls of the fort. Attached to my command center, it will certainly be much more difficult than any of our earlier work, because, after all, this must impress. Even with our limited resources, the few truly magnificent works of Old World artistry will go here, to make even when small-sized, an absolutely inspiring piece. We must install three things in all who see the high-reaching spire - knowledge that the Church is here, awe at the power of our God, and fear of the Inquisition that enacts his will.

Country of Origin: Empire of Drakensriech
*Country Fluff: The Empire of Drakensriech has a long and "prestigious" history of warfare with their neighbours having grown strong by eating anyone seen as too weak to rule themselves. In recent years however things have been stagnant, with most neighbours remaining strong enough to not seem an easy target. So when the new world was discovered the empire wanted their slice of the cake
Nation Fluff: The lands of Prince Temnick, fourth in line for the Imperial Throne, a scholar by preference but still trained in the art of war by tradition. On his 23rd birthday he was declared lord of his on land, a tiny province in the new world. With the entire empire expecting their new lands to grow, Prince Temnick, lord of Temnland is sent to the new world.

Name: The Expeditionary Force of the Xerxiad Caliphate
Country of Origin: The Xerxiad Caliphate
Country Fluff: http://pastebin.com/E7s9PWvG
Nation Fluff:
The Caliphate Colonial Expeditionary Force.
The Caliphate prides itself on gunpowder and large ships. Not the first to discover gunpowder, they were its greatest admirer and proponent, inventing gigantic bombards and heavy mortars, and their access to numerous forested states provides them with an overwhelming supply of lumber and manpower.
They favor large and extremely armed ships of gigantic size, as heavy ships of the line form the bulk of their navy. This is in stark contrast to the European and Eastern style, who favor lighter, more maneuverable and numerous ships such as destroyers and frigates and cruisers. Slow, but well armored and massively gunned on all sides, while notoriously easy to outpace at sea, it is known that only those who seek to catch a tiger by the tail tend to challenge a Caliphate ship without overwhelming numbers.
The Expeditionary force has been sent on such a ship, to establish a colony in the new world, and see what new peoples there are to be taught the way of many ways, and to hear of the truth of all truths.
Nation Type: Colony Multi-charter (that is, sanctioned by the Caliphate, but supported by funded by numerous states wishing to invest in the new world.)
