BEFORE YOU START, I'd like to clarify how the division dots for military units work:
[QUOTE] 1:43 PM - Effenlegger: 1 dot = 100 soldiers
1:44 PM - Effenlegger: 2 dot = 1000
1:44 PM - Effenlegger: 3 dot = 10000
[/QUOTE]
For a full list:
[QUOTE] Soldiers: No dots = 10 soldiers and multiply up by 10 per dot
Cavalry: No dots = 10 soldiers and multiply up by 10 per dot
Navy: No dots = 1 ship and multiply up by 10 per dot
Artillery: No dots = 1 gun (and crew) and multiply up by 10 per dot
Militia: No dots = 10 soldiers and multiply up by 10 per dot
et cetera.

The Roman Catholic Church and its power base rule over the unenlightened minds of Europe.
Progress comes but at the price of retribution, and any who challenge the will of God are punished through mortal means.
As the ruler of your nation, you must guide your people through these dark times and survive to see the end of imperialism almost a thousand years from now.

[QUOTE] -Declare before you post, this means if someone already declared you should wait.
-No declare stacks past 2 people, this means if someone's reserved a declare after someone, you should wait.
-Be reasonable with your unit numbers. The current population of Europe is approx. 50 million people.
-All units must come from respective garrisons (i.e. ports, bases, castles, cities) and should move accordingly at a several month's pace.
-When you set up your nation, please roleplay it properly according to the stats you chose.
-Real-world technological advancements shouldn't be made earlier than 50 years prior to their invention. (See here: [URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timeline_of_historic_inventions"]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timelin...ric_inventions[/URL])

This has left mix feeling in the population as most feel that the Dominion needs to be taken seriously in eyes of greater kingdoms but many feel that the Dominion is dragging itself into a needless conflict.

I'd appreciate it if you could leave the Duchy of Lower Lorraine (the added territory) undisturbed.

Territory added by Greg has been preserved as he wanted.
For quite some time, Serbian nobles argued about the eastern border. As it was undefined, it could pretty much be anywhere. However it was decided to keep it close to what it was, and not claim everything ever(which the Count of Stara Planina-Balkan suggested). Instead expansion occurs south. A large swathe of land is about to be annexed, but the natives are quite awry about it. Vardarian Slavs(Macedonians) are quite peaceful about it, except for the fact that missionaries are circling around them like vultures. That's why the small army is stationed there, preparing to build a fort. The Albanians however quite angry though. They, for some reason, hate any sort of civilization(even hating their own brethren that settled themselves in the north), and consider them a insult to their gods. The Greeks are more like Macedonians, all indifferent. The small stretch of coast near Halkidiki was also in the annexation plans but the hostile natives prevented that. Another annexation has been started in the north. Sparsely populated, fertile and excellent for colonization, the plains along the Danube are also about to be annexed. The fact there is a little amount of natives means that the army is unneeded there, and instead the settlers band into militias. A small navy has also been constructed, it currently patrols the coast but there are rumors of it sometimes going far away for a while and returning with maps of strange lands. Some of the more talky nobles are saying that the King might be planning to take some lands around the Mediterranean for some "great war" against some "strange peoples with strange tongues".
