The cumbrian state

As of April 27th, the de-facto head of state: Prime Minister Eden, met his demise from food poisoning. In his wake, the Jade Conqueror has assumed the mantra of 'Exalted Emperor' and has dedicated his rule to the centralisation of the vast Cumbrian Empire. His legitimacy bestowed within the Mandate of Heaven and the Amulet of Anutet, infusing it's wearer's blood with elemental immunity.

In spite of the Jade Emperors newly acquainted abilities, many malevolent threats lie to the North, waiting to sink their poisoned claws into the heart of the Empire, fracturing it's lands; sending the Empire back to the crepusculous depths of primtitiveness...

Food poisoning? He should have stopped with some industrial and bad food. May this minister raise health of the nation!

Eating things of nature> things industries. It's better to peel than to open!

RIP EDEN :v

"Fully-Automated Luxury Gay Space Communism" is an Internet Meme poking fun of the supposed 'ideal society' propagated by the Left-wing in which the total automation of all services and industries enables all people to live in luxury, humanity has ascended to it's rightful dominion over the stars themselves, and egalitarian ideals are a universally understood 'truth' rather than simply policy or custom.

Free Assyria is parodying it; "Fully-Manned" meaning human labor as opposed to automated (robotic) labor, "Spartan" as in the byword for indifference to comfort and luxury - a notorious trait of Ancient Sparta, "Straight" meaning heterosexual - the polar opposite of gay (homosexual), "Terrestrial" meaning on Earth as opposed to outer space, and of course "Fascism" is the polar opposite of Communism.

The joke being "Fully-Manned Spartan Straight Terrestrial Fascism" is the 'ideal society' instead of "Fully-Automated Luxury Gay Space Communism" and those who recognize this 'fact' are "Intellectuals" (cultured and educated; alluding to having a naturally superior opinion) and those who do not are "Philistines". (uncultured and ignorant; alluding to having a naturally inferior opinion)

The Crusades are a cautionary tale of disunity and complacency, and what happens as result: outsiders sack your sh*t and continue to grow unchecked. If King Richard were alive to see Europe right now, he'd probably bust a vein smh.

To any who it may concern, do not be alarmed by the recent silence on my part. I had fallen quite ill and had to spend days in bed in strong fever and in an overall poor condition.

Thankfully I have gotten better and are now able to do put time into leisure and such, which means to also see to the needs of the Fifth Empire.

Right from the start, I see we've lost quite a lot of people, but that is no concern, we'll do what we can to get some back and we'll make efforts to draw in more.

AVE~!

True indeed, the region has a disturbingly low population count. That being said we cannot put quantity over quality: they must be well balanced.

Q1) Why is it a "Jade" Conqueror?
Q2) What exactly has he conquered?
Q3) What are these threats in the North? Don't tell me you're referring to myself :P

Ahh yes, The Jade Conqueror is the direct descendant of the mythical Cumbrian Statean House of Jade. Members of the ancient bloodline are documented to possess skin like nephrite, glowing an incandescent green.

The Jade Conqueror is responsible for the majority of The Cumbrian State's possessions, located in my Nation's factbook, which have been purveyed through conquest with The Jade Conqueror being the Conquistador at the behest of the campaign.

The threats in the North are not those of mortal elements, but of chaotic and dark hellspawns: abominations which would raze the Cumbrian State down to it's ashen core.

My citizens are that of an elven build, high in stature and possess a level of high perception. They don't drink or deal in any sorts of hallucinogens which may cause beings to delve into and ,thus, be seduced in a psychedelic trance. No they prefer the natural order, romanticism and mysticism.

Greetings my esteemed Lady!
A warm welcome to the Fifth Empire!

If you wish to discuss the topic of foreign matters, you may wish to make a communication to our Foreign Minister Neo-cuba. And on the clause of "strengthen our ties", you are also free to make a communication to myself if you so desire to pursue such a path with the Fifth Empire.

Ave!

Ave~! Fifth Empire.

With my decree, internal reshuffling has been made within the Ministry. James coughlin (Restored columbia) has been dismissed from the Ministry's payroll as "Section II article composer" and "Section VII poll Composer" due to inability to carry out duties within reasonable constraints and lack of notice on extended absence and inactivity. Subsequently, content in the newspaper has been edited with the author being "Ex-Ministry of Truth Section II staff".

To make up for the loss, Maryhaven (The cumbrian state) has been transferred the Sect. II role, with my faith in his capabilities of writing solid pieces of work. However, If this decision does not produce the desired results, for whatever the reason, it may be canceled.

Fascist (Fascist mars/Fascist sparta) has been hereby promoted to a leadership role as Sec. II Director. In this office, he will be responsible for overseeing and reviewing Maryhaven's work and directing his efforts, for example, in matters of what to write and when. Maryhaven is required to report and answer to him. The Director can, of course, continue to create his own content to supplement the ones produced by his staff.

This promotion was gained due to loyal and competent service over a long period of time, included in which are articles in the newspaper, active participation in Ministry projects, personal skill in Fascism proved through RMB and private discussion, and administrative talent as seen in prior service roles in FE (and concurrent leadership of the IFF, which is taken into account as the Ministry will be integrated into the FE-IFF Axis-relations)

Congratulations to brother Fascist mars!

AVE!

I have always enjoyed High/Epic Fantasy settings; the inherent mysticism and spirituality in their nature, world, and atmosphere is appealing to me.

Ave, sister. It seems our nation's share a similar naming theme: Mór-Ríoghain - the Morrigan - Celtic Goddess of War, Death, and Fate.

Sorry for my recent inactivity, i've been worried and busy with many things, hope you all understand.

Indeed Morrighanwargoddess, we should be discussing this thing about strengthening our ties! Bunicken has been a very close region with the Fifth Empire and it would be preposterous to not see the benefits in this!

Thank you all for the warm welcome!

Badb Catha, yes it does seem we have a similar themed name. I choose mine as I have always found the Morrigan very interesting, a Goddess of war and love. I have always like that duality. I have also used Inanna before for the same reason, all though she was a bit more all encompassing.

Yes, I am very serious about strengthening our ties and working close together. As you say, Neo-Cuba, it would benefit both regions greatly. We already share ties to some of the same regions.

Congratulations, Fascist Sparta, on your promotion.

For myself it is more a general interest in war deities from pagan religions. I find it fascinating how different, primitive cultures viewed war through a spiritual sense and then portrayed it through the actions, behaviors, and natures of their gods. For example, the stark contrast between the Greek Ares who is often portrayed as villainous and his Roman counterpart Mars who is often portrayed heroically. What is essentially the same god with the same purpose viewed from two different perspectives by two different cultures. It is quite fascinating.

Don't take my word here as some kind of authority on the matter, as I am merely speculating. However, I would think that from a psychological point of view the tendency of ancient cultures and civilizations to introduce/attach a strong layer of religious spiritual meaning onto matters of war and warfare, bloodshed et cetera. (which was then personified in supernatural deities with their own lore and histories) might've been in some way means of coping with the violent and aggressive nature of life in pre-modern times -as conflicts and wars were very commonplace- by giving and finding meaning and sense in something senseless, brutal, destructive. So that despite the apparent suffering wars caused, there was still a higher purpose behind it all. Or alternatively, the insignificant humans could blame wars on the pettiness of gods and their whims, and thus, to escape the violent tendencies within man itself. So that man could look himself in the reflection in the water of the pond and say "I am not ultimately party to being responsible for this bloodshed, as we are but servants to the immortals."
