I have been relected King of Asylon, so hopefully we can get married right away!

Oh Asylon, who would have known that the little cub would grown into a big bear.

Interesting times ahead.

Yeah, no kidding. Terran is going to have to get used to having a western neighbor who is our equal in size and strength.

Pretty soon you'll have a strong northern neighbor, too!

Land area and nobles, yes.

In peasant population, gold income, military, food supply, no.

As their new lands get fully populated, they may eclipse us in those areas as well. That wouldn't shock me. But, even if they do, Asylon doesn't have as good a strategic position as Terran, or as strong a diplomatic position. In the long run, I would expect Asylon and Terran to be approximately equal.

Kabrinskia?

Ehhh.... honestly, I don't feel threatened by Kabrinskia. A one-city (admittedly a large city) realm with barely sufficient rural lands and crappy relations with all of its neighbors doesn't scare me. Now, if Kabrinskia started making friends with Asylon, I'd be worried.  But Even as Kabrinskia becomes developed, I don't expect they'll be able to pose a serious threat to Asylon or Terran, unless they can credibly threaten that Astrum will support them in an aggressive war. Kabrinskia's threat-status is wholly dependent upon Astrum. And, frankly, I foresee Terran getting politically stronger in the near future. But now I'm saying too much.

Dont think that we in Asylon are not aware of the negatives of our situations. We are merely politely gloating for a little bit because we made it, we did it we survived past what a lot of Dwilight thought we would. Asylon has a lot going for it and like all kingdoms weaknesses. Thats fine, we got here and it has and is fun. Think of Asylon like Canada, a large diverse nation on the rise.

Obsessed with the monarchy and built on the oppression of its minorities, except when it's to pin them on their trophy wall as a display of how "diverse" it is?

Sounds excellent! Seems like you even got the ripping off the natives part right!

I didnt know Canada had a monarchy... cool.

Plus, you all should know that baby seals are not welcome on our shores, thats why Asylon has the mandatory clubbing day, every first in the month.


And yes, Asylon will need more time to become fully developed, but so far so good. and yes, I'd rather have our provinces more clogged togheter, but cant get everything, so we have to be a happy costal place with seal clubbing traditions... (maybe we are more like Norway then Canada?)

It's the British monarchy.

I am Canadian by the way, perhaps it somehow reflects and affects/effects how I play and see myself as a leader of a kingdom. And how I act in battlemaster. I ain't British and I certainly am not American. I am Canadian...
