Full Story
First I want to give a short PSA. The writing of this was done by an anonymous account, and some information I have could be made outdated or might not have been given to me with much clarity. Despite this, I will still continue to strive to give the players of the server the most accurate and trustworthy news I possibly can. With the opening of the server approaching rapidly, it’s time for a rundown of what to expect from all the major groups and nations that have formed in the server so far. This article will provide a summary of the general political landscape and subsequently some details to know about the individual teams. Firstly, there were a multitude of different teams and groups preparing and planning separately. Teams formed early on included the immensely powerful Realm of Shadow and the Pebbailian Empire, both nations who are shaping up to have rather large militaries and appear to be very organized. At a similar time, places like the Brotherhood of Wrothgar and Aldenmere also formed, although they had far less members. Shockingly, the four nations I previously mentioned all locked into an alliance days after their formation creating a formidable superpower that other countries could only hope to break up. Shortly after, the largest of the four, the Realm of Shadow, formed itself into the Ruthen Commonwealth and absorbed both the Brotherhood as well as Aldenmere. The Commonwealth still remains allied with the Pebbailian Empire, although relations are unclear at times. In relation to this, the Ares Empire (a totally free nation that has free will trust me bro) was also formed and immediately allied itself with the larger entity known as the Ruthen Commonwealth. You might be wondering at this point, that all this just seems like the news for a couple nations rather than the entire server. This is partially true. The nations I just described are just some of the ones who I have been able to contact, and I need your help to increase the amount of countries we can report on. That being said, there is also a small rancher nation in the west which is preparing to export a large amount of food for the rest of the server, as I am told. Nearby is also the OKC nation, who although I have not been able to contact them directly, they are planning to settle on the western side of the island.
I will now do my best to deliver a short synopsis of the countries who I believe will have the power to make some splashes near the beginning of the server. I’ll first address what is without a doubt the largest and most powerful country to date, the Ruthen Commonwealth. Originally comprised of a couple smaller countries, the Ruthen Commonwealth has grown into an enormous superpower led by General Cinema and it has a plethora of versatile players. This nation’s military is highly trained and organized, and will be a major force in the coming days. Additionally, the nation’s government has a powerful monarch, a parliament, economic experts, and there is of course no shortage of military expertise. Another important thing to note is that this nation seems to be planning to expand to other vastly different regions through a small group of colonies.
Next up is the Pebbailian Empire, who are probably closest in power level to the Commonwealth, although they are currently set to be in an alliance. Pebbailia seems to have a strong economy and a smart leader (The Arbiter) who I’m sure will lead the nation to great prosperity, even rivaling the potential of the Ruthen Commonwealth. Given these facts, I also predict that Pebbailia will evolve into a military superpower and will be a force to be reckoned with.
One nation that has only recently popped up is the Ares Empire. Although small in size, they currently hold the ‘backing’ of the Ruthen Commonwealth, although unlike what was once known as the Brotherhood of Wrothgar the Ares Empire still remains a ‘free’ and ‘sovereign’ nation with its own leadership that ‘isn’t completely affiliated’ with the Ruthen Commonwealth. Although small now, I still predict that the Ares Empire has the potential to rise towards the top.
I also wanted to mention the small rancher nation, who I am told is preparing to be able to export large quantities of food to its trade partners, and I think that this nation could be an economic powerhouse if things go well for them.
And while this is just another one of my predictions, I think that something big will happen in the central areas of the map. It is mostly unclaimed, and whoever gets that land will have a massive pull on foreign relations due to its location.
To close off this message, I would like to make it clear that there are probably plenty of small nations that I failed to mention today, and I will try to do better as I grow larger and reach more people. If your nation wasn’t featured or I got a detail wrong, please DM me! If any information was wrong or an important part was not included, I can go back and fix it or add any important details. Going forward, I will try to release new reports as major developments happen, although they will likely just cover a single main event. There may be a few more similar to this, but from now on expect more targeted and concise stories. This has been @BigNewsMC, and as we inch closer to the server opening I believe that the nations mentioned today will continue to make waves and new nations will rise.
