After a small break I'm back with the next part of the process - choosing a government for Cisneria, yes our new nation has an official name!   

I've listed the poll options below. Some may require further fleshing out if chosen (for instance, if Monarchy wins, we would need to determine if its absolute, constitutional, crowned or elective, for instance). If it comes to that the 2nd part of the process will be opened to all patrons to decide.  

Please feel free to suggest other options, though once the poll is set Patron won't let me edit it.

I think this is the type of decision that I feel I cannot take "before" knowing some facts about the history, the influence of other nation and the social texture of the Inhabitants. What is known about this region?

Nate Mangion

absolutely nothing - this nation is a blank slate, that's the whole point of this activity - to create the nation and come up with how it interacts with other nations.

Impesio

Can I have a brief recap of the known nation around? Are they rich or poor?

Nate Mangion

A fair question. I'll get back to you tomorrow about that and will edit the original post to include some details.

The nation to the north (alam Betyl) is a backwards place of animist barbarians (at least that's what the High-empire thinks of them). They have shamen who wear wooden masks but are not against using the empires tech, such as firearms, against it. To the South is Ataraxia - you can read moer about it by searching for the Ataraxia tags in Patreon. Across the sea to the East is Almagest, one of the bigger and more powerful nations around the inner sea. It is quite wealthy, though like all nations it is on the wane as resources dwindle.

I read some: -we can say that Black mountains traits are shared between Ataraxia and Cisneria -South is Ataraxia that is a fairn enough advanced state -Almagest is advanced - Betyl is not "advanced" by imperial standards We may say this is a place of decolonisation and barbarization. May be an ancient region of wild and explaration with coastlines tattered by trading cities which tried to extend they influence in inland. As this rich cities were dominated by merchants, with the fadin of Korachani empire and the emerging lands, may be there was change in the focus of this merchants, that tried to purchase more stables sorcue of income (like Venice in 16th century), and tried to trasform from a plutocracy to an aristocracy but in the end failed.

Have you already voted on a government type? Your above comments are very interesting though its best to wait to see what will win - if everything remains a Tie ill have to open to vote to other patrons so see which option wins, then we can get into more details after that.
