Just say or yay or nay, i've heard alot of good feedback of people on board with this and some who aren't. I've tried to improve the map by making it more fluid, better looking and larger, its roughly earth sized and not there's an reasonable ratio of sea to land. I've gotten a ton of good feedback in other places as well and I think it deserves to be discussed. In addition, I'd to propose removing the plot based claim system.



As you see I've tried to maintain consistency with the current canon, in particularly EM being the guardian of the Illumic Sea(its not a channel plz) and putting Albion in a more reasonable location(Darfordia is currently equatorial but somehow britain, etc). This is no way final, just a general layout.

There is some major inconsistency in regards to how we perceive our recent history on Mundus. One of the major problems we run into is World War II, and it has been attempted to be hashed out many times before but it just doesn't work. It's hard enough to say ww1 happened but ww2, an event which drastically altered our modern rl world, is just a footnote, and most RP nation's i'm learning didn't even participate in it.  That's why I suggest we retcon it and go roughly original for our 20th century history at least that will fit into why Mundus is at the unchanging state it is now.

Quick points:

- Remove ww2 from the regional canon, we can't figure this out.

- But, we have one world war, that being world war one, perhaps it vaguely last longer and spans a greater technological era. Generally, this single world war, is what would lead to the downfall of massive empires, and would be a definitive turning point in the history of Mundus whether someone was in that empire or involved in the war or not. It explains all the bloodthirsty self-motivated nation's running around in the midst of a lasting power vacuum.

- Rework our 'cold war', essentially leave it open ended and rely on people to cooperate their histories together as to why nukes were sought after. Depending on the historical circumstances of said nation, they could have gotten nukes for MAD against a larger threat in their history.

- Abandon historical NPCs, no one uses them(as much as I want ppl to ), the singular great war or whatever we want to call it will just be a time 'when empires fell' and the demographic of mundus is shifted, vaguely.

Thoughts? Suggestions? Criticisms?

Kwuy Anan Aircraft Company would like to bid the Kwuyalshalk H-18 Strike Condor to Cascadia.


In the event of a deal being formed, the Kwuyalshalk H-18, under modifications for the Cascadian Air Force(language, other adaptations), could be referred as the ‘Cascadian KH-18 Strike [national bird]’.

The KH-18 SC was specifically designed for a Close Air Support and Ground Strike roles. It’s armed with a 30mm rotary autocannon, effective against personnel and armor, at a rate of fire of 2,400 rds/min. The KH-18 SC can use advanced precision guided AGM missiles, small diameter guided bombs and mounted rocket pods on its many eight external hardpoints. Sets of two can carry 1,000 and 2,000 lb loads while the other four hardpoints are rated for 2,500 pound loads. These four are also plumbed for external fuel tanks.


The KH-18 SC is lightweight, highly maneuverable, adaptable and efficient, allowing for long loiter times in a particular area. It has a comprehensive electronic suite, including EW and ECM capability.


3 and 4. The KH-18 SC is very capable of operating under conditions where air supremacy isn’t viable. It’s high maneuverability, range and EW capability makes it capable of air-to-air combat if necessary.

5. The KH-18 SCs armor is composed of lightweight ‘metal foam’ otherwise known as composite metal foams(CMF), which is capable of stopping high caliber sounds entirely. Armor is focused on vital parts of the plane, like the fuel tank, cockpit , engine and flight avionics.

Additional attributes is the pusher design of the KH-18 SC, the six bladed prop engine is shrouded in an armored clamshell separate from the internal fuselage, fire bay suppression systems is included. As the KH-18 SC was designed for mountainous operation where altitudes and cold can cause potential icing, the engine comes with a deicing system, composed of layers of conductors encased in materials that are bonded directly to the airframe structure. When ice accumulates on the aircraft, an electric current is sent through the conductors, causing them to pulse, this movement is enough to pulverize ice, even in flight.

On board avionics consist of a multi-mode pulse doppler radar system mounted on the forward radome and a multi spectral targeting system.

The aircraft can be configured for a 1 seat or 2 seat layout, in order to reduce workload and expand roles done by the aircraft at once, such as electronic warfare.

The KH-18 SC generally comes with most standard conventions in modern military aircraft, such as ejection seats, backup oxygen, etc.

Base Flyaway Cost: 18 million
Custom Modifications 20 to 22 million

Edict on Clean Energy Signed, Government in Motion

---

The Revered Speaker today signed off on a clean energy initiative renewal proposed by the Grand Council, which boast a new budget for nuclear energy research and the construction of new nuclear power facilities built in coastal areas.

New and rich deposits of uranium were found 7 months ago in rural Hadwelka, one of the 8 lands of Ahkabnil, the government at the time promised the formation of a nuclear advisory board in the High Circle and has fufilled this promise with the Ahkabnilian Clean Energy act. “We will slowly be making a shift with mining companies to introduce a new energy market to supplement a dependence on petroleum.” RS Teudili Anan stated, during the issuing of the edict.

Wind and solar power are also be sought after by other Lands, and the High Circle has laid out a plan within the Clean Energy edict to invite foreign investors and experts to help establish nuclear, wind and solar power industries. The Ahkabnilian Power Company, known as ‘TOA’ will be a new public company opened by the government constituted into three sectors of energy control; wind, solar and nuclear. This energy initiative, as RS Anan states, is supposed to, “Subtract the direct energy dependence Ahkabnil maintains.”

The government will still maintain trade in petroleum and coal, as well as maintaining manufacturing and petroleum processing plants. (Ahkabnil doesn’t have either but can ship it and manufacture) The government so far as confirmed that uranium will be shipped overseas to be enriched for now until the proper facilities to do so are established, meanwhile production of solar panel parts is due with a new government subsidized factory.

Endangered Ahkabnilian Elephants Saved by National Wildlife Sanctuaries

---

Ahkabnil’s increasing urbanization in the past century has led to the extinction of hundreds of animal species, while pushing others toward dangerously low numbers. High Umam Hakwechi, when he assumed head of the Temple of 1974, launched wildlife initiatives while attempting to balance urban development. A few species have been brought back through reintroduction efforts and the High Umam has led a ‘natural beautification’ effort in cities, leading to thousands of trees, plants and flowers being planted  bolstered by accommodating infrastructure. While the population and pollution footprint of running cities is expected to decrease, there is still work to be done.

The Temple of Ohkantetl has decided to fund various wildlife organizations on the command that the nearly extinct Ahkabnilian elephant be preserved. As of 2016 their numbers dipped below 100 in the wild and native wildlife experts took peek interest in wanting to preserve them. The High Umam was seemingly convinced and the Temple in putting forth its utmost effort. High Umam Hakwechi spoke on the reservations, and elaborated further on his thoughts on growing environmental issues.

“We may have lost our way, our quywe has been defiled in political pursuit, which i do not blame this country for. Survival is key but part of that survival is respecting our ancestors, which we have not done. These majestic beast, such as the elephant, is Ohkantetl, and we must respect Ohkantetl, as this omnipresent force is all of us, including the beast you call an elephant, an intelligent animal which seeks a life of comfort like us. Spirits of the Gods demand such respect, as they are the land. When we defile our land, we defile our gods, and our history. We must balance our glory and prosperity with environmental awareness, with the advent of new technology allowing this, we can pursue a more just path.”

The two Ahkabnilian ambassadors snapped into their presentable posture upon entering the room, believing their stature respectful. Kutaneh went first with the bow of his head and the extension of hand, followed by Wasyiel. "I am ambassador Kutaneh of Ninetsi and this is-"

"Ambassador Wasyiel of Hweka." Wasyiel introduced.

"I hope we're not too late." Kutaneh continued. "Weather had delayed us for a while. Though your escorts took care of us pretty well throughout the city."

The Ahkabnilian ambassadors stepped out of their escort, both with a shaken look upon their faces. Kutaneh at that moment wondered if this assignment was a slight or confidence in his ability as an elder emissary, he wanted to believe the latter. Wasyiel was slow out of the humvee, somewhat cautious, holding his younger life more dearly. “Come on.” Kutaneh hurried, projecting a leveled yet urgent tone. “We’re in a safer place, but I don’t want to be stuck out here, the landscape is horrid.” he glanced around.

“I didn’t join the army.” Wasyiel exclaimed as he hopped from the humvee, gathering himself. He caught up and quickly walked beside Kutaneh. “Hell of a first emissary mission?”

“Perhaps.” the old ambassador sighed, finally catching his breath. In all his years he had definitely not experienced being sent in the middle of a warzone such as this, he never had the heaviness of a bullet proof vest weigh down his chest or a hard helmet hug his scalp. All of this was new to Wasyiel as well, but he was young and had a lust for adventure and new experience; under his tense and wary composure were wide eyed excitement, this is what he signed up for exactly. “I’ve never heard guns go off that close.” Wasyiel commented, as the two walked side by side up the steps of the capitol building.

“Military.” Kutaneh stated. “Brings back a few memories.”

“I didn’t make the cut for national service.” Wasyiel said. “Instead they just made me serve an extra year of civil duties.”

“I never knew this. It does make sense, you’re too scrawny for the military.” Kutaneh grinned, carrying on ahead.

The two had thanked their escorts, Kutaneh reminded himself to get them gifts, and entered the capitol building.

Ambassador Anasi had enjoyed herself thus far into the festival, it was nice relief from the usual day at the embassy and she always enjoyed the lesser intensity of the sun in East Moreland and its moderate weather. She had spent most of her time at Ahkabnil’s dock, and proudly so, the nation has had a strong maritime tradition dating centuries, bringing an array of ships ancient and new; such as a more modern replica infamous ‘Hwakeo’ - a beautifully restored ship from the height of the Quywe Empire that use to rule the Horn, styled with broadside guns and shark fin shaped sails. It was a fast ship for the time and one that saw countless victories.

 It was a time when Chanal was the center of the Horn, and Ahkabnil ruled through militaristic might. Now, Ahkabnil was an aged country, wary of past and unsure for the future, relishing former glory as a mere puzzle piece to the modern day geopolitical scheme. The relic of this nostalgic past had been stationed in East Moreland for quite some time, and being a lover of ships, Anasi had always checked up on it throughout her tenure in the country. Finally, the ship was fully afloat and could even sail if manned properly.

At the center of the ship were several large war drums, that even boomed with a thunderous thud when merely tapped. On the ship were also several replicas of Quywe muskets, their backsides decorated lavishly with religious etchings with utmost attention and care to detail. Everything gleamed new, as if the ship was made yesterday and was ready to sail into battle. The director of the reconstruction, an enthusiastic Morelander who had teamed up with several Ahkabnilian historians, explained a few of the great battles Hwakeo was involved in, to a touring crowd, Anasi among them. Hearing of the broadside cannons, their interworkings, how the crew lived at sea, naval culture at the time, was certainly interesting. However there was soon another matter to attend to, as an aide had informed the Ambassador of a gathering ceremony at the Festival itself. As she stepped off the path to the Hwakeo, she observed a rushed scene, quickly gathering herself to head over. “A wedding?” she asked.

“Yes.”

“Wasn’t quite prepared for a wedding, and i haven’t meant any of the royals yet, seems like a good time to introduce ourselves.” she told her nameless aide, who hurriedly followed her.

She made sure to present all her credentials to the appropriate people, “Ahkabnil is sending a representative.” she announced, being let through to the path which led to the makeshift venue. Anasi wasn’t personally one for weddings, especially foreign ones, finding most boring and pointless, but the informal composure of this one excited her. Believing the Moreland royal family was a the usual stuck up foreign nobles, she was suddenly intrigued by the informal way they carried themselves, a relief from the strict statute of back home, she regretted to admit.
