Be annoying too,
And our hearts will soften.

 [spoiler The Ballad of Bilbo Baggins]In the middle of the earth in the land of the Shire
lives a brave little hobbit whom we all admire.
With his long wooden pipe,
fuzzy, woolly toes,
he lives in a hobbit-hole and everybody knows him

Bilbo! Bilbo! Bilbo Baggins
He's only three feet tall
Bilbo! Bilbo! Bilbo Baggins
The bravest little hobbit of them all

Now hobbits are a peace-lovin' folks you know
They don't like to hurry and they take things slow
They don't like to travel away from home
They just want to eat and be left alone
But one day Bilbo was asked to go
on a big adventure to the caves below,
to help some dwarves get back their gold
that was stolen by a dragon in the days of old.

Bilbo! Bilbo! Bilbo Baggins
He's only three feet tall
Bilbo! Bilbo! Bilbo Baggins
The bravest little hobbit of them all

Well he fought with the goblins!
He battled a troll!!
He riddled with Gollum!!!
A magic ring he stole!!!!
He was chased by wolves!!!!!
Lost in the forest!!!!!!
Escaped in a barrel from the elf-king's halls!!!!!!!

Bilbo! Bilbo! Bilbo Baggins
The bravest little hobbit of them all

Now he's back in his hole in the land of the Shire,
that brave little hobbit whom we all admire,
just a-sittin' on a treasure of silver and gold
a-puffin' on his pipe in his hobbit-hole.

Bilbo! Bilbo! Bilbo Baggins
He's only three feet tall
Bilbo! Bilbo! Bilbo Baggins
The bravest little hobbit of them all

Actually, we probably could. If you've got coastline, we can kill you. :P

Atlantis, you're forgetting that the land left by Celend and Kuregn would probably be split evenly between Machta, Inveran, and maybe Otahvy.

That makes us significant threats on land and sea.

Oooh, POWAH.

Y'know, I think another NPC nation should appear out of the rest of the Inverness, a collection of the tiny little principalities that were left over from the formation of the Machta and Inveran. That would make Invernessi politics even more... uhr... subtle than they are now.

You got it!  I'm taking Kuregn and all of the western part of that continent.  It shall be a part of the Otahvian Empire!  And then we're going to have an Augustus vs. Marcus Antonius type war between Puul and Rodonso, and Puul's going to win because Rodonso is going to fall in love with the Despotissa, and they're both going to commit suicide, and then Puul is going to rule justly to the end of the empire, when barbaric Baktashi come and invade.

Meh, it depends. The Machta-In started off as a bunch of minor principalities which one equally small principality absorbed, and now if it wasn't for Celend and certain other big countries it could finish off most of the world's nations. So, it's always possible that that nation could grow equally powerful. Although we'd still probably be bigger than it.

At which point the then Mandrian Empire will split into hundreds of different little countries and a few hundred years later some posh feller will invent the rifle and the entire process will happen all over again. :P

As the discussion thread got pushed to the wayside and everyone started OOCing everywhere else.

I would recommend that if you take over Arannia, just have a civil war.  Let the rebels win, make some structural changes that you'd like to make, and play it with a new name (if you so choose).  I think it would be fun to go in and start playing this round from the standpoint of a rebel, and then at the next round your rebel is now the national hero and leader.  

Just a thought.

On a side-note, this council for peace is about to prove why no peace conference has ever really been succussful.

What? Was I not invited to the war?
To save myself time, I will never say IMO. Unless I say in fact before something, that means it's my opinion.

Hey Mith, it might be helpful if we could have a more detailed map of the Middle Sea, instead of having to regard one that's small and cluttered with name markers.

Done.  It's not actually more detailed, just enlarged and sharpened.  There are innumerable small rocks and islands in the Middle Sea, but the ones shown are the only ones significant enough for an actual self-sufficient village.

Good enough for me. I'm assuming that there are more islands supportable in there than just the dozen though, right? I mean, those are pretty large if a village or two can only have a small sliver of the island.
