Enki

Enki, also known as Ea, was a prominent deity in Babylonian and Sumerian mythology. He held a multifaceted role, embodying wisdom, magic, freshwater, and the creative force of civilization. Enki played a pivotal role in the divine hierarchy and was revered as one of the most influential gods in the ancient Mesopotamian pantheon.

Enki was associated with wisdom, knowledge, and intellect. He was often depicted as a bearded god, with flowing water or fish symbols incorporated into his appearance, symbolizing his connection to freshwater. As the god of freshwater, he was believed to be the source of life-sustaining rivers, lakes, and underground aquifers. His role as the provider of freshwater contributed to agricultural fertility and the growth of civilization.

One of Enki's most notable characteristics was his association with magic and sorcery. He was believed to possess profound knowledge of incantations, spells, and rituals, which granted him power over the forces of nature and allowed him to influence the destinies of mortals. Enki was often depicted holding a scepter or a staff, signifying his authority and mastery over magic.

Enki's role as a creative force was emphasized in various myths and legends. In the Babylonian creation myth, the Enuma Elish, Enki played a pivotal role in the organization and development of the universe. He assisted in separating the waters and land, establishing order, and bringing fertility to the earth. Enki was also credited with the creation of humanity, fashioning humans from clay and breathing life into them.

Beyond his role in creation, Enki was known for his role as a benefactor and protector of humanity. He was believed to be a benevolent and compassionate god, aiding humans by providing them with knowledge, guidance, and protection. Enki was often depicted as a friend to mankind, intervening on their behalf and using his wisdom to resolve conflicts and bring prosperity.

Enki's cult centers were located in various ancient Mesopotamian cities, and he was widely revered throughout the region. His influence extended to other deities, and he was often invoked in conjunction with other gods in rituals and prayers.

The myths and worship of Enki reflected the ancient Mesopotamians' reverence for wisdom, magic, and the life-sustaining properties of freshwater. Enki's multifaceted nature and his role in the creation and nurturing of civilization made him an integral figure in the ancient pantheon, embodying the intellectual and spiritual aspects of human existence.
CoN 4: Resolution VI

## Background

The Council is in uproar, after the passing of Resolution V. The Netherlands and Portugal are citing regional discrimination. The Pope and Trier, though not involved in colonization, had mixed feelings on the matter. Ethiopia didn't even read it, and they were outraged. Malaya, the Mughals, and Japan saw it as a way to protect themselves from the inevitable. Inevitably, however, the Council would change its mind on the matter.

## Text of the Resolution

RESOLUTION VI

ON THE QUESTION OF THE REPEALMENT OF RESOLUTION V

Sponsored by: The Papal State

2 MAR 1586

***Whereas*** sentiment has risen as a result of Resolution V;

***Whereas*** it has become known to the Council that the member state of Ethiopia failed to read the fine print;

***Whereas*** the Resolution is denounced, even by it's author;

***Henceforth*** the Netherlands, and many other member states in the Council are calling for the immediate repealment and voiding of the Resolution.

Yea - Resolution V, and all of it's declarations, are to be repealed, no longer relevant to the Council or Judiciary.

Nay - Resolution V will not be repealed. The Resolution remains relevant.

Abstain

## Official Vote

The Official Vote of the Council was as follows;

Yea: 7

Nay: 1

Abstain: 0

 Japan
 Malaya
 Mughals
 Netherlands
 Portugal
 The Papal State
 Trier

Final Verdict: The Council votes in favor of repealing Resolution V.

## Aftermath

Though Resolution V had been repealed and Europeans could now legally colonize Asia unrestricted, a deal had been brokered between some of the European and Asian states. The Old World would remain mostly untouched for the time being. The New World, however, was anyone's game.
Council Of Nations VI

Nations in this Council were picked by lottery, based on a list of nations in Europe, Africa, and the Middle East decided by the players. Nation sizes ranged from Lubeck to Mamluks, though the largest nation selected, Qara Qoyonlu, had only 161 development.

This save saw little actual action in the Council, and more in the form of player alliance chains and backstabbings. Between the War of the World's Desire, the War of the Protestant League, and the Persian Betrayal of Qara Qoyonlu, player alliance chains have had a great impact on this save.

The save was defined by its complicated alliance structures.

The Eastern Powers: Serbia and Ruthenia were close allies, while Prussia was a loose ally who was always willing to compromise with the West.

The Western Powers: Provence, Great Britain, Italy, and the Netherlands formed a loose alliance chain, with the goal of containing the Eastern Powers.

The Muslim Powers: Persia and Qara Qoyonlu were the only Muslim nations in the Council, and were neighbors. While this alliance would serve them both well early on, Persia would eventually outgrow QQ and betray them, siding with the Eastern Powers, and later on, themself alone.

This save is titled "The Concert of Europe" because each alliance chain was constantly working to avoid total war with the other alliance chains. Peace was ultimately impossible with so many nations with different goals, but they tried as long as they could to preserve it.

This Wiki is dedicated to tracking and storing events that take place in multiple Europa Universalis IV saves Conducted by my friends and I. This has progressed into multiple separate saves (currently nine of them) as well as some failed saves that did not develop. Many of the separate Council saves still need more information, and support from the actual players.

*"As the players convened for their next game of EU4 an idea was brought up. It probably went like, "hey what if we like didn't kill each other and tried to solve things... diplomatically" and with that idea blooming in everyone's head the council of nations was formed. After this was formed there were many questions like what should we do, who should vote on what, what got brought up to the council in the first place, eventually this was all straitened out with the first call to action by the first vote" ~ Buzzard*

Regulus

### Backstory

Regulus was born in a family of farmers. His father taught him how to farm and fish. Fishing quickly became one of his hobbies.

His father was forced to go out and fight, Regulus hasn’t seen him since. His mother wasn’t going to let them take Regulus away from her too, so she started teaching him the ways of her family, who could communicate with the air.This enhances his hearing and movement which is very handy in getting away unnoticed. He uses this ability to fish even better!

His biggest wish is to one day, see his father again.

### Attributes

He is skilled in all sorts of farming and is nimble.

### Drawbacks

It’s not easy to earn his trust. This is the reason he doesn’t have friends and has relationships with animals. People find him weird.

### Religion

He is a proud follower of The Dolphin Gods, which means he can see them in their actions and understand them.

## Senate

### Campaign

Regulus campaigned to become one of the first senators of The Varian Empire. His slogan was "Livelier Vara". His goals were to bring life into the Empire by whatever means possible: letting animals roam free, having more greenery, more Varians, ... and to make it look beautiful. He delivered his campaign in book form to Varians by putting it in their mailboxes.

### Debate

Regulus held a debate, together with Cornelius, behind The Colosseum. There he answered the questions of other players.

### Meetings

During the senate meetings Regulus writes down the discussions in books.
Gravitic Screwdriver

The Gravitic Screwdriver revolutionizes everyday life. This handheld device harnesses the power of gravitational fields to effortlessly manipulate objects and overcome physical barriers.

The Gravitic Screwdriver is a sleek, compact tool with a comfortable grip, its design reminiscent of traditional screwdrivers from Earth's past. Instead of relying on mechanical force, it utilizes cutting-edge gravitic technology to create localized gravitational fields that mimic the effects of turning screws and bolts.

With a simple twist of the device, the Gravitic Screwdriver generates a focused gravitational force, allowing users to effortlessly tighten or loosen screws, even in the most awkward positions. Its intuitive interface features adjustable gravitational strength, enabling users to precisely control the force applied, avoiding damage to delicate components.

Beyond its practical applications, the Gravitic Screwdriver has found unexpected uses. Resourceful explorers and engineers have discovered that by manipulating gravitational forces, they can temporarily alter the trajectory of small objects or nudge them towards desired paths. This unique ability has proven invaluable for navigating treacherous terrains, tinkering with intricate machinery, or improvising ingenious solutions in dire situations.

Despite its revolutionary capabilities, the Gravitic Screwdriver remains a relatively accessible technology, widely available to the masses. It represents a harmonious fusion of scientific progress and practicality, bringing the marvels of gravity manipulation into the hands of everyday individuals, forever changing the way they interact with their environment.

In a galaxy filled with advanced gadgets and sophisticated technology, the Gravitic Screwdriver stands as a testament to the enduring power of simple yet elegant solutions, reminding us that even in the vastness of space, sometimes all it takes is a twist of gravity to overcome the greatest challenges.
CoN 4: Events

Over the course of The Council, many events occurred, between both players and AI-controlled nations, that were deemed impactful or memorable enough to be written here and remembered.

## The Marlowe Menace

OCMan101, often known as the best EU4 player, has stomped on every one of his immediate neighbors and brought with him the stench of 1000 dead stink bugs. This a real horror to see as the once prosperous nations had their leaders eaten by the great Marlowe.

## The Great Con (Japan v. Netherlands v. Malaya)

Deceptive Dutch leaders created political chaos between pacific nations to create extended influence in the region. This entire smear campaign conducted by the Dutch is called 'The Great Con' because of the massive amounts of communications between Netherlands, Japan, and Malaya. It took place for an unknown period of time, but eventually led to distrust between Japan and Malaya.

## Trier and Netherlands Rivalry (1444-end)

While cooperation between the two nations seemed steady, it wasn't until Triers occupation and annexation of Paris from France that Netherlands Officials felt that the goal of Trier was to block off expansion roots from them. Initially seeming reasonable to the council members for Triers actions, The Judiciary Committee voted in favor of inaction against Trier. Over time though, Triers goals were clear as his border snaked through and around Netherlands. Due to the save ending nothing happened between the countries.

CoN 4: Resolution IV

## Background

Holland had bribed Ethiopia for a more lenient sentence in the First Judiciary Committee of the Council of Nations. Even though Holland did not get what it wanted from the treaty, The Papal State still saw it as a dangerous precedent to allow such events to be possible.

## Text of the Resolution

RESOLUTION IV

ON THE QUESTION OF BRIBERY IN THE JUDICIARY

Sponsored by: Holland

4 JUN 1525

***Let it be defined;*** bribery is the monetary, political, or territorial incentive from a donor party to a receiving party, typically, but not necessarily, for political gain or voting power.

***Let it be defined;*** blackmail is the act of threatening or persuading through force a receiving party from a typically stronger party to ensure political gain.

***Whereas*** the Judiciary has been affirmed as a crucial part of the Council; ***Whereas*** the Judiciary is to be an unbiased resolution to nation-state conflict;

***Hereforth*** the Papal State is requesting a ban on bribery and blackmail to members of the Jury.

Yea - When a Judiciary case is open, neither the plaintiff, nor the defendant, nor any member of the council, may engage in either bribery or blackmail towards any member of the Jury.

Nay - There is no limit to the use of bribery during a Judiciary hearing.

Final Verdict: The Council votes in favor of outlawing bribery and blackmail in the Judiciary Committee.

## Aftermath

Bribery and blackmail had been outlawed, but the treaty was seen as unenforceable. If a nation threatened to blackmail another nation, what could be done about it? If action were taken, the threatening nation would spill the beans. If a nation offered to bribe another nation, what stopped that nation from accepting the ducats and voting in their favor?

Amarax Mir-Vega

A human born in the 7th Millennium AD, born and bred to become a Holy Grand Marshal, within the Holy Terran-Orion Eternal Dominion. Amarax is known throughout the Dominion as a powerful and vicious Marshal, winning many battles in the Holy Crusade of the God Emperor. He is a genetically engineered human, having the typical lifespan of only fifty, designed for war, his muscular and skeletal structure is much stronger than the average human, some would say even super human. Strength and agility is greatly enhanced as well.

At the beginning of the so called Heretic Uprising on Earth, Amarax was sent by the Prince Ascendant to quell the uprising in the Undercities of what was once Antarctica. Once Amarax arrived in the undercity his Star Legion was ambushed by an unknown advanced force, defeating him and his legion with little struggle, at the moment when they were losing, there was a great quack in the undercity that caused it to collapse on itself. The collapse trapped Amarax and he lost conscienceness. At first he thought he was dead but he soon discovered that he was being held prisoner by an advanced civilization living within the Earth's core. The civilization was the remnant of the United Resistance Front, that had fought the Emperor during the Dominion's founding. Amarax was watched over by Captain Tria Oberon, she was his assigned rehabilitation officer during his time in the Republics.

Amarax would become a primary figure during the Vis'Ori'Ki invasion, leading fleets and armies against the invading beings. He fought for the survival of the human race and the continuation of the species. During the first great engagement against the beings at the edge of the new unified Milkyverse, he commanded the 5th TAZM Fleet, from his flagship, the Spirit of Tazm. During the battle his flagship was destroyed and the 5th fleet was decimated. He had to use his Starblood powers to teleport his crew away from the Vis'Ori'Ki onslaught.
CoN 4: First Treaty of Pasai

## Background

As Malaya and the Netherlands grow closer diplomatically, they seek to divide territories in the New World to make colonization efforts safer for them both. The Netherlands has offered to split California with Malaya, despite Japanese claims to the region. Though Malaya does not wish to interfere with Japanese interests, they aren't going to pass up on a free land treaty.

## Text of the Treaty

1st Treaty of Pasai

9 FEB 1605

-The Netherlands and Malaya acknowledge the current and relevant rush for New World possessions, both laying claim to what would be referred to henceforth as 'Colonial California', to be defined as the Colonial region with the same name.

-Attached is the propositionary divide between Dutch and Malayan claims to the region. Both nations will attempt with all reasonable expectation to not expand into eachothers claims.

-Should both parties consent, they may expand into the opposite party's claim to the Colonial California region only. Colonizing each others claims without consulting the other party will be a violation of the treaty.

-Exceptions may be made to Colonial Nations colonizing into claimed territories, but artificial wars can be made in the future to exchange territories that colonial nations accidentally take.

-Let it be defined that provinces marked, or surrounded by, in purple are acknowledged by both parties as Malayan claims.

-Let it be defined that provinces marked, or surrounded by, Yellow, are acknowledged by both parties as Dutch claims.

-Let it be defined that provinces marked by black are not affected by the treaty, and can be colonized by either party.

-This treaty shall be in effect until both parties mutually consent to the repealing of the treaty.

*Signed*

Paul van Oranje, Grand Pensionary of the Republic of the Netherlands

Gadzabadi Srivijaya, Sultan of the Sultanate of Malaya

## Aftermath

This treaty, made public, would divide Malayan and Japanese ties further apart. The Dutch Espionage Crisis would continue to worsen their relations.
Council of Nations III

Main Page

'*European Revolution*' is the name of the third installment of the Council of Nations games on Europa Universalis IV. Having cleaned up many of the loose ends of including the Council of Nations into our save games, the third Council has been far more involved throughout the saves, with 23 resolutions and 6 treaties being written by 1651.

## History

The Third Council was founded at the beginning of the save, as is usual with Council of Nations games. The Council had a total development of 573, and six of the seven founding nations were Catholic, with one being Sunni. The Council had seven founding members, listed below.

A number of nations would find themselves in the council (mainly due to a players dying often). Those included England, Holland, Japan, Crimea, Castile, and possibly more. Despite this, 5 players were consistently alive and continued to play the entire save. Those Include Great Britain (originally Scotland) who joined later, Andalusia who also joined later, Russia (Kurland) who was replaced by another player, Germany, and Italy.

CoN 4: First Treaty of Amsterdam

## Background

Holland and Trier, being member states of the Council, and being in close proximity to each other, both wanted to draw boundaries to prevent a conflict in the already-tightly-packed Holy Roman Empire. By claiming entire Regions for themselves, they could guarantee a war would not break out if one nation wanted the other's land.

## Text of the Treaty

**1st Treaty of Amsterdam**

20 OCT 1446

-Trier agrees to recognize the Low Countries as unquestionably Dutch. Trier will not expand into this region without approval from Holland.

-Holland agrees to recognize the North Germany region as unquestionably Rhenish. Holland will not expand into this region without approval from Trier.

*Signed*

Willem VII, Count of Holland

Jakob von Sirk, Archbishop-Elector of Trier

## Aftermath

Following the First Treaty of Amsterdam, Holland and Trier continued in their conquests of their respective regions, with their borders peacefully resting against each other. Conflict had been avoided, for the time being.

## Background

Pressure placed onto Crimea surmounted to a point in which the Sultanate looked for conversion from Islam and to take the step forward to Orthodoxy. The Kingdoms of Livonia, Florence, Brandenburg, and Palatinate sought to further weaken the Sunni world by Forcing a already Religiously turbulent nation to turn from a Heathen to a Heretic.

## Text of the Resolution

Final Verdict: The council shall admit Crimea as a semi-permanent member state ***after*** conversion to the Orthodox faith.

## Aftermath

The Swift vote paved way for Crimea to join the Council of Nations, and to damage the Reputation of Islam. The Ottomans saw this as Treachery, and set into motion plans to reclaim the lost Religious grounds. Other Orthodox nations like Muscovy didn't fully accept the change, and still saw them as a threat, especially after a great deal of territorial expansion by Crimea.
CoN 6: Events

## Council of Alliance Chains

This council was marked by the co-operation of like-minded states to push their goals onto other nations. Blocs would often work in co-operation with each other to reach a common goal such as, the initial breakup of the Ottoman Empire, and the War of the World's Desire. This would mark an age of diplomacy and betrayal of nations in order to get what was best for their respective societies.

### The Eastern Bloc:

The Eastern Bloc consisted of Prussia, Ruthenia, and Serbia. Initially just being Prussia and Serbia, the bloc expanded when Kufu joined the game as Kharkov. This new player helped the East gain influence over the council and the world as a whole. The members would have closely knit bonds with each other until the loss of The War of the World's Desire. This war spread rumors of Prussian troops "drilling" during important battles, however no amount of Prussian drill could stop the endless horde of French and Italian troops. After the peace deal Prussia began to align closely with the Western powers stating that they were an "inside man" but it was obvious that the alliance was not what it used to be. This was seen in the Protestant league War in which Prussian troops were sitting in their land fighting merely a couple battles (not the one in Stettin though no one know what happened there). Their reasoning was that they did not want to be in the war in the first place while actively pushing a button that spearheaded them into the path of war. Kharkov and Serbia however were still close and had the same idea in mind: to take back Constantinople. Their goal would eventually be met after the destruction of the QQ sultanate.

### The Western Bloc:

The Western Bloc consisted of The Netherlands, Italy, Provonce, and Britain. (Someone from this bloc do it)

### The Muslim Bloc:

The Muslim Bloc consisted of the two Muslim nations, Persia and Qara Q. (Someone from this bloc do it)
