==== Vesnia ====
* Government: Despotic Monarchy
** King: Fritzel Fleischer (B 505 BCE D 409 BCE) (R 488 BCE - 409 BCE), Gustaaf Fleischer (B 468 BCE, still alive) (R 409 BCE - Present)
** Economy: Based around agriculture, fishing and trading. The first Vesnian script is developed, based on nearby tribes' scripts. Trade with cultures like Latins, Proto-Balts (and countries of Nordicium and Danska) is helping the economy which had gone down after the West Dizilyan war.
** Capital: Burgenbrao
** Demographics:
*** Population:
*** Burgenbrao: 48,820
*** Fleischermark: 15,600
*** Raustadt: ~4100 (under Dizilyan occupation)
*** Heineg: 2620

*** Religion: 99% Vesnian Paganism, 0.74% Proto-Baltic Religions, 0.26% Other
** Wars and Conflicts:
*** The "Nearly-War": Fritzel was seen as a mentally unstable dictator. Despite his agreement with Danskan king Jakob Norgaard, he planned on invading Havmark earlier, while the armies he readied up were not completely ready. Some protesters who acted as spies found out about his plans and reported to the opposition. Protests right outside of Fleischer Burg started but Fritzel did not listen. 4 days after the initial protests outside Fleischer Burg, Fritzel announced the invasion of Havmark would commence in 5 days. Thankfully, 3 days after the announcing Fritzel died of natural causes due to his age and Gustaaf took to the throne, which most people were okay with. He put the invasion off completely.
*** Havmark Conflict: Despite being unsupportive of the Dizilyan Relocation, Gustaaf is not happy with Havmark, he wanted to negotiate the Dizilyans to give the Raustadt Region back or to sell it as he still sees Raustadt as Vesnian. Gustaaf is okay with the earlier talks with Danska about what to do about the nation.
** Military: Total of
*** Spearmen: 855 (410 without shields)
*** Sword and Hatchetmen: 730 (262 without shields)
*** Slingers: 265
*** Bowmen: 757
*** Torchmen (they burn up tents and stuff after the main invasion but do also have daggers if someone attacks them): 134
*** Flingmasche (prim. catapult): 100
*** Naval Watchmen: 85
*** Cavalry: 33
** Navy:
*** 100 transport ships (can hold around 10-15 men)
*** 52 large transport ships (can hold around 20 men) 
*** Although not part of the navy we have around 690 fishing ships.
** Diplomacy:
*** Havmark: We appreciate the selling of land but it's unfortunately not enough. Raustadt is rightfully Vesnian and you know it. Give it back.
*** Danska: We are still with you. We apologize for what Fritzel attempted to do.
*** Ugrians: We could establish a great trade route in this sea with other allies we have.
** Events:
*** The Great Divide: Years of informing and the rule of Gustaaf leads to most Vesnians now agreeing with the royal family and our Danskan friends. The Great Divide is declared ended by the former protester Haraldh Steiner shortly before his death. Gustaaf declares the Steiner family an honorary family.
*** Expansion: Slight expansions around Vistula so the border isn't as ugly.
*** Fleischermark: Taralamark is renamed to Fleischermark as Tarala, Tarala II, Tarala III and the Shabk dynasty have been dead for incredibly long. (technically Erich III, the forefather of the Fleischer dynasty was of the same bloodline as the Shabk dynasty but whatever).
*** Establishment of Eustra: Due to the discover of Vistula being quite important, a "grand village" is set up there, known as Eustra (Vesnian, roughly and slightly corrupted: Eastern Soil), it is more important than other villages and is to house armies, some farms and outposts to keep an eye out. Eustra is planned to become a great city later on.
*** Exploration: More exploration in the Baltic Sea, we discover pretty much everything, including Danskas colony of Luleå.
*** Sickness: Gustaaf Fleischer has gotten a sickness. Due to his age, we do not think he will live for much longer, many people thank him and pay respects to him for his time as regent, especially when he first took power.

High Priestess Dartah and all of the Daevas from the eastern part of the Daevite lands formed the Confederation of the Daevas. The Western Daevas who represent the western lands of the Daevites want to remain conservative as possible and that forming a confederation 'is far out for them'. So they branched off to become the Western Daevites and expanded rapidly far up into the north to settle down as nomadic tribes.

Intelligence lives in the elite neighbourhood close to or in a city centre.
**The start of city specialization. With the growth of Vedena as an empire, there are lots of different cities. It is becoming more efficient to be specialized in some sphere. For instance, Lutsk is the main political and scientific powerhouse, Pripyat and Kyiv are specialized in trade and Volodymyr is becoming a cultural centre.

==== 南方夏代 ====
*Government:
**Art and literature is countinously funded under Emperor Jiang. The usage of silk for clothing is continued, as well as the silk trade with neighboring nomads who travel to far away places using this "road" is continued. 
*Military:
**The military excersises a group total of 200,000 spearmen, and 45,000 bowmen. Due to the system of which they have been set up, most of these men live average lives until the call for battle. Only a total of 25,000 spearmen and 12,000 bowmen are active, patrolling the borders in case of a possible invasion or an aggressive Nomadic horde.
*Economy: 
**Much of the economy is ran around agriculture and fishing, with the usage of barter trade and other means of payment being used to obtain a good or service. Silk continues to operate the largest means of income, primarily due to the fact that it is sold relatively expensively and is sold to nomadic hordes nearby.
*Diplomacy:
**A "pact of peace (aka non-aggression pact)" is offered with the northern Yang dynasty.
*Undated Events:
**Expansion is made along the coast of the Ganton nomadic horde. Due to their de-centralized behavior and lack of nationality and general society, the expansion is seen as comfortably easy and acceptable, and since many of the nomads there are farmers, hunters, and gatherers, they gain substantial autonomy in politics, primarily since the land is sparse in population.
**While fishing, a terrible storm ends up thrusting a group of men aboard a boat eastward, where they come across an un-inhabited island. While there, they discover animals, proper vegetation, and other significant necessesities for survival. They survive their first year off of what they have made of themselves, and after establishing a coastal port, they decide to name the island "美丽 (Měilì: Beautiful)". Five of the ten men are expected to attempt and reach the Xia dynasty in the following years, while the remaining five will continue hunting, gathering, and building infrastructure.

* Wars and Conflicts: The Celtic tradition of war was rather playful compared to southern wars, but with small influences from the warring east, the goals of a war raid change from just pillaging into conquering and pillaging
** The Caledoni-Mard Conflict: We are in retreat after the fall of Kaledon, we make continues hit and run attacks on the massive enemy army, damaging them and weakening morale. We develop a new tactic of warfare, Camouflaged ambush, where troops hide in trees, ditches, bushes, with moss and dirt camouflage, destroying advancing legions. A massive recruitment begins, and a transformation of societal structure(See Event: Societal reform). We begin to prepare for a reconquista of Kaledon.

** Obar Dheathain: The village of Obar Dheathain(Aberdeen) becomes a major settlement
** Loch Nis: The Loch Nis(Ness) becomes an important cultural region for the Caledoni and surrounding tribes, also the city of Inbhir Nis becomes the capital

====Xia Regnum====
*Government:
**Emperor Wěi ascends to the throne following the death of the late Emperor Jiang. His first years as Emperor are sent expanding eastward into Měilì (OTL Taiwan) and colonizing the island in the name of the Xia.
*Diplomacy:
**Emperor Wěi offers the neighboring nomadic tribes of the Zhi to become incorperated into an outside territory in the Xia. 
*Economy:
**Much of the economy continues to run around agriculture and fishing, and now recently, mining. Silk continues to operate the largest means of income, primarily due to the fact that it is sold relatively expensively and is sold to nomadic hordes nearby. The idea of using a medium for transactions to remove the need for Barter Trade is thought of, and soon, the first gold coin makes an appearance in the Emperor's Palace. It is expected that near the end of Emperor Wěi's rule, that gold coins that have been mined will have replaced the need to barter trade.
*Military:
**The military faces almost zero change, except for the movement of 2,000 active combatants to the island of Měilì (OTL Taiwan) to help push for colonization. Most of them are transported via numerous ships that go back and forth between the mainland and the island.
*Religion:
**Religion remains popularized in belief around shamanism, animism, and general polytheisticism. A small minority of citizens remain irreligious, and religion remains at a tolerated level, meaning that the government allows any and all forms of religion to be based in the Xia.
*Undated Events:
**Expansion is made into the island of Měilì (OTL Taiwan). The port city of Taipai is established following continued infrastructure-based expansion and the movement of a based military in the region. 20px expansion from the northern area of the island.
**The Ganton Nomadic Tribes continues to be assimilated into core Xia territory as infrastructure and autonomous-type levels of political and religious freedom are given. Expansion is made 20px across the southern coast and 35px inland.

*Features of Vedena:
**The masterpiece of ancient urbanism.  Some people may think that the population of cities is too big. But to be fair, the cities in Vedena are not that urban and densely populated. Frankly speaking, the city has a city centre and little neighbourhoods around it. Usually, every family has a little house and a proper farm to grow their own food. Intelligence lives in the elite neighbourhood close to or in a city centre.
**The start of city specialization. With the growth of Vedena as an empire, there are lots of different cities. It is becoming more efficient to be specialized in some sphere.

**Population Boost: The Lulean population skyrockets, passing Arusse by a landslide due to soldiers now residing there. The population is expected to drop again once the (possible) war is over. This also means that a lot of food is shipped over to Luleå with stops at Vesnia.​​​​​​
**Relocation: We migrate down south across the coast, away from the Sami. This causes the city of Luleå to go abandoned and the new city of Skellefteånnå is founded.

==== Xia Regnum ====
* Government:
** Emperor Wěi continues his expansion in Měilì, colonizing 5 px across the western coast until his death in 334 BC, where he is succeeded by the new Emperor Jing, his son. Emperor Jing, unlike his father, sees mainland expansion as more of a priority, and soon begins a massive expansion in the remaining region of the Ganton nomadic tribes, expanding through the movement of Xia settlers into the region and the building of infrastructure.
* Diplomacy:
** Emperor Jing offers his daughter, Princess Lui, to the Yang Dynasty as a present of appreciation and bringing together the dynasties closer. She would be expected to marry the a Prince of the Yang Dynasty that is expected to ascend to the title of Emperor.
* Economy:
** Gold coins become incorperated as an official currency, with official purchases and sales being the most common form of usage of the Gold coin. In the regions of Ganton, however, barter trade continues to exist in minimal levels, primarily between the more nomadic-dominant areas.
* Military:
** The military faces almost zero change, except for the movement of 2,000 active combatants to the island of Měilì (OTL Taiwan) to help push for colonization. Most of them are transported via numerous ships that go back and forth between the mainland and the island.
* Religion:
** Religion remains popularized in belief around shamanism, animism, and general polytheisticism. A small minority of citizens remain irreligious, and religion remains at a tolerated level, meaning that the government allows any and all forms of religion to be based in the Xia.
* Population: 
** The population peaks at 25,500,000 after a formal consensus is established. A consensus is expected to occur every 10 years, with this consensus occurring in 325 BC.
* Culture:
** Under the new Emperor Jing, the encouragement of poetry, musical pieces, and other forms of cultural items begins, and as a result, street musicians begin taking post outside shops, playing musical compositions and using the latest Ocarina or Guzheng. Palaces become a major dreamscape as paintings depicting explicit acts, common depression, and other forms of the human behavior begin being published and put on display. Many of these paintings are purchased by the Emperor himself, as he himself is a major fan of art.
* Undated Events:
** The Ganton Nomadic Tribes continues to be assimilated into core Xia territory as infrastructure and autonomous-type levels of political and religious freedom are given. Expansion is made 20px across the southern coast and 35px inland.
** (Just in case it hasn't occurred in game yet) A man by the name of Confucius begins to make headway in the city of Shantou after writing and publishing philosophic literature describing a new political and religious term known as Ruism, in which humanism and the "Three Principles of the People" are put at the forfront of the term. He is assisted by one of his younger cousins, Sun Yat-sen, into putting these pieces together. The idea of Ruism begins to take hold in the Shantou society, and begins spreading across the more coastal and urbanized regions of the state.

After the victory he leaves some men to guard the northern front, and advances to Epirus, massacring the Kith occupiers with his 10 000 strong army. With more and more victories stacking up to his name, men from around Aegea travel far to join his warpath against the Kiths, some from Kith lands as well. After the successful campaign in central Hellenia, he turns his eyes to Peloponnesia, where the Kiths were preparing for an assault on Athens. He cut off the supply lines and reinforcements arriving to Peloponnesia by a swift naval assault using ramming ships, and then assaulting the preparing invaders from land, retaking Peloponnesia within a week. After this success he was crowned king by the Aegean council. Then began his campaign to destroy the Kith empire. A month after the defeat in Peloponnesia, and the North African campaign taking up more and more mercenaries, the now 15 000 strong force marched into Paionia, and then to Thrace. After destroying the Kiths weak hold in Europe, he marched his army to the strait of Bosporus where they sieged the western fort and burned the eastern fort. After the battle of Bosporus he sent out an invitation for all young men to join him in his battle against the Kiths with the promises of spoils of war for all who joined him. A total of 40 000 mediocrely trained men set out to conquer Asia Minor from Bosporus. The army took over Anatolia, then split into two. Alexander leading the northern army that would take over the Kith homeland, and Eurytos, a commander who’d proven himself as a sound tactician led the campaign in the south take over Xilup and Canaan. Alexander reached Kathe where he sacked the capital and continued his march down to Shep. He then began a hunt for Darius, the Kith king. Some months later he found him in a small fort in Kashmir, but before the citadel was taken and Darius captured, one of Darius lieutenants killed Darius and claimed to be the successor and king of the Kiths, but Alexander returned to Kathe and told the people that the final words of Darius were, “Alexander, you shall be my heir, lead our empires with prosperity” and the people took him as their legitimate leader. Alexander then returned to Kashmir, from where he conquered the rich nations of Kishe and Sarvanna, whose tales of riches were told of as far as Canaan. He then returned to aid the campaign in Xilup and swiftly made an end to The last Rebel strongholds. He renamed the city of Xylom to Alexandria and built a great library and research center there where scholars from all around Asia and Europe flocked to discover and talk about science, culture and history. He died of fever in 312 BC.

* Goriwala: They unify with Janapada and Videha into Mayrua. Mayrua under the lead of Chandragupta lead a great warpath to unify India to oppose the Aegean threat, annexing Vatsa, Panchala, Scatom and the rest of the tribes between them and Ask

* Kiths: They are able to make an advance into Atlasioi territory, capturing Valyros, but their campaign turns into a defensive war as the Aegean empire was ravaging the homeland and no new mercenaries were coming to the African front. The Kith empire becomes annexed into Aegean empire, the reason for their loss was the use of mercenaries, thus having a smaller army than that of Alexander's whose army was comprised of tens of thousands of volunteers who'd trained and were paid for each victory by being allowed to pillage the cities and treasuries.

*Features of Vedena:
**The masterpiece of ancient urbanism.  Some people may think that the population of cities is too big. But to be fair, the cities in Vedena are not that urban and densely populated. A typical city there has a city centre and little neighbourhoods around it. Usually, every family has a little house and a proper farm to grow their own food. Intelligence lives in the elite neighbourhood close to or in a city centre.
**Deep city specialization. With the growth of Vedena as an empire, there are lots of different cities. It is becoming more efficient to be specialized in some sphere. For instance, Lutsk is the main political and scientific powerhouse, Pripyat and Kyiv are specialized in trade, Volodymyr is a cultural centre and Shatsk is a fishing centre.
