-<del>The true name will be decided based upon the nearby terrain features, since we'll probably be located near or on a river either the rivers name or something along the lines of Riverland [though not that because Riverland is a stupid name]. OR we could name ourselves in honour of King Alpha: Alphaton.</del> **MERCHANT REPUBLIC OF WEST RHODES**
+===== History =====
+=== Backgrounds ===
-Upon creation of the new map we will venture out unto the wilderness to find a suitable building location. Our main priorities are: having a nearby river, land to expand on to, nearby Islands so Lord_Uxbridge can recreate WI as his personal fief, other lands the other Lords would want as fiefs, and a gorge or something so we can have a way cool bridge thing over it.
+After the dark events of the Westwardian Union with the Kingdom of Breshik, OttoVonBistarck became Lord of the Westward Isles. [[people:cabastard|caBastard]], a diplomat responsable of the Westward Isles recognition to the international community highly opposed the Westro-Breshikan union, as he saw what was once one of Kurwa's best allies merging with Kurwa most disgusting and annoying enemy (not even rival). Despite this, caBastard recognized Otto's good work to remaster the severely damaged Westward Isles and saw Otto as incredible and competent leader. After the Westwardian Declaration of Independence the 31th of August, [[people:lord_uxbridge|Lord_Uxbridge]], caBastard and OttoVonBistarck merged their interest of a nice Westward Isles and agreed to work together.
-We have not yet decided whether or not we want to be close to Kurwa or Batt.x.
+After Great God, our King [[people:alphabernd|AlphaBernd]] announced the server would recieve a new map for the 1.8 update, the idea of a Westwardian colony appeared on the table. The new friendship of the tree Lords made it happen by officially announcing the **West Rhodes, Merchant Republic of** political project.
+===== Geography =====
+<WRAP center round important 60%>
+West Rhodes is still on planning. Any changes on location are still on the table.
+</WRAP>
+**[insert capital name here]** is located in the mouth of **[insert river name here]** in the sea of **[insert sea name here]**. Surrounded by a leafy forest and some high elevations.
+=== Subdivisions ===
+Each lord will have the right to create a settlement with a region/territory to lay in.
+===== Politics =====
+The State will be controlled by Bicameral Parliament divided in the House of Lords (Upper House) and the House of Commons (Lower House). The plan is to create a Representative Democracy based on Regions all across the future national territories of West Rhodes.
+Besides being just a plan, both [[nations:nova_kurwa|Nova Kurwa]] and West Rhodes have developed a friendship bond whose origins come from the long standing relationships between the [[nations:westwards|Westward Isles]] and the [[history:beta_17:nations:kurwa|Council State of Kurwa]].
+===== Economy =====
+Merchantilism. We expect to produce a lof of Jew Golds that would allow us to trade with other nations and between our future dear citizens.
+===== Culture =====
+Pre-XX Century British Culture combines with Rhodesian nostalgia. In other words refined gentlemen with a white's man mentality.
+The **National Flag** will be used by the Government in all its public buildings in a 4x6 size. The **Naval Ensign** will be used in all Rhodesian Navy Forces vessels (R.W.V.) in a 3x4 size altough this may vary according to the vessel size. The **Merchant Flag** will be used by all civilian ships (in other words: made by citizens with no belic purposes preferably in a 3x4 size, but this may vary according to the vessel size or the captain's own preference. The **Civil Ensign** can be used by all citizens instead of the national flag in any size they find appropiate to their nationalism as long as this doesn't break any building codes yet to be defined by the West Rhodesian Governement.
