Continuing from the previous thread: As our Industrial Revolution continues, peace reigns on our homecontinent of Aymsland. Across the ocean, tensions have arisen in Eyerdar - the Pacharnati Empire has set its eyes on the New Pajit Union and our allies, the Kaichou Empire and Sunset Alliance almost went to war with each other. With our help the situation was resolved, the kaichou were allowed to colonise Veita. History continues to advance and the White Republic stands as the mightiest nation in the world.

The bulk of our navy is made up of mighty wooden,three decked ships of the line and lighter frigates - ships with sails, dependent on the wind. The last time we commisioned new ships we also constructed a new flagship of our fleet, the WRS Junus(named after the captain who discovered continental Eyerdar) - the largest three-decker we've ever built, a massive ship, crewed by a thousand men, with 110 guns on board. We've since built two smaller sisters of the Junus, armed with 90 guns each. The Admiralty has worked with engineers to make new designs, however - steam power has been incorporated into the navy for the first time. We've built three steam frigates(two of which were converted from our old frigates), powered by a steam engine that drives paddle wheels to propel the ship through waters. The Admiralty has been sceptical of using steam power for our warships as these paddle steamers are not suited for the high seas.

C it is, we haven't done it in a while. In terms of religion - we have the four grand temples, temple-schools in every settlement and some medium-sized temples as well. We have a clergy without a single head - priests tend to their temples and their dioceses. The arts haven't recieved much attention from the government in quite a while, they've progressed on their own - we are currently in an era of neo-classicism as our artists regard our glorious past as a well of inspiration, it is art of formality and restraint, a set of ideals that are aspired to - this is the broadly accepted artistic standart at present. Education remains at a high level. In smaller settlements temple-schools provide primary education(mandatory for all).Secondary educational facilities can be found in towns and cities, tertiary education can be found in the universities of Lakeside, Centerhold and Victory, the Admiralty in Coasttown and the War Academy in Centerhold.
What area will in particular recieve support from the government? A.Religious construction B.Religious institutions and organisations C.Education D.The arts E.Something else

The government has invested in the building of a new university in Newport, chief colony in Eyerdar. We've expanded our already existing universities and academies and built new trade schools in large towns and cities. The National Academy of Sciences has recieved more funding to expand its facilities as to allow the great minds of our nation to work to their full potential.

The National Academy of Sciences has registered numerous major breakthroughs and inventions in recent years. Mechanized mining has led to more and cheaper coal and iron and we are now seeing cheaper, easier to produce and stronger steel on the market - metals have become the core of our manufacturing in the North and the Westerlands, bringing factory and mine owners(and us, of course) much wealth. In the sciences we've registered many new inventions and discoveries - Prophylaxis Against Malaria, superior vaccination, hereditary genetics and natural selection theory, better medicines and treatment methods. Inorganic chemistry has produced artificial fertilizers and rubber and a new explosive liquid - nytroglicerin - is being experimented with. Great new inventions are making life and work easier as our population increases at higher rates than before.

we need more that 10000 trained engineers, we need an army greater than any you can find in real life, we're literally the size and power of what Germany would be in 1945 if their conquered the the US and the rest of europe and we still have Imperial technology. We can do great things given enough brain power since we do not lack resources. A more educated population will bring us a new era, of prosperity , the dawn of industrialization will let our people learn instead of working at an early age.
Benjamin Rodriguez
New geological discoveries in Ocras have spurred increased colonisation - massive coal deposits in the arid interior, iron in the central mountains and a variety of other minerals and metals. Despite its smaller size this continent is rich in resources and most importantly - untapped.

I might agree with you if we were in the 20th century but we're still at a point where men fight in line formation like th e Crimean or Franco-Prussian war. What matters for an army are the fighting men, tactics and weapons. Engineers are a special minority who are trained to operate weapons like artillery.

Courage, temperance, wisdom and justice - the four virtues of Oofnarr's faith. The courage to go on a great undertaking; The wisdom to see it through; A sence of justice to know it is right, a sence of temperance to know how far to go. Man strives towards harmony, but also aims for the stars. Our earthly ambitions mean more than providing ourselves with a comfortable lifestyle - man dies and another is born and the dead are remembered by their deeds and what they left behind them. The true meaning of life is to plant trees under whose shade you do not expect to sit. Our people strive to create large families and to leave a legacy and opportunity for their children, to secure a future for our people.

The Kaichou Empire and the Sunset Alliance have proclaimed eternal friendship in a historic meeting in Kotoima, resolving all territorial and trade disputes and dedicating the next century to a great co-prosperity pact along with the White Republic. The Kaichou seem to have also adopted partial constitutionalism in model to our own republic, though the imperial court still has much power. Long live the Occidental Alliance!

Advancemens in steam technology have led to the development of the screw propeller, a type of fan that transmits power by converting rotational motion into thrust. Naval engineers have built the first commercial ocean-going vessel in the world - the SS (Steamship) Horizon. Naval engineers now compete for great prizes in designing superior ships every year in Coasttown, spurring creativity and innovation as sea transport will become easier and more efficient than ever before! A new age is upon us, truly! >without corruption Human nature finds a way to fuck shit up, but we recently made great efforts to stall that so we're living in good times now.

Let's do both at once since there's such enthusiasm! As new colonies in Ocras are sponsored with the goal of bringing the continent's riches to fuel our home industries, a grand project has been announced! Expeditions shall be tasked with reaching the poles - from Coasttown to the north and from New Coasttown to the south!
Owen Miller
So... the colonies are doing kinda shit but we did, maybe, get to one of the poles.
Dominic Martinez
i think the roll are for south and north not for colonization and exploration.
Connor Walker
Nah, those are the two poles. While we've sailed around the northern tip of Aymsland and have accessed an arctic passage east, towards Jamatun in the warmer months, explorers have been unable to pierce the great icy shores of the Northern Pole. Sailors from Ocras have managed to map the southern Arctic's shores and have charted several arctic islands south of Ocras. The shores of the Southarctic have been explored, but the pole itself is beyond our reach at the moment. Some interest has been generated in hunting the exotic animals that survive in these cold climates - whales, narwhals, seals and such and sailors will no doubt make ventures to these cold waters from time to time.
