St. Kitts!

Avonmora,

This day, 178 of year 4, the island of St. Kitts is emerging onto the Avonmora map! After some in depth discussion two great kings, PhoenixKnight and William One Eye, have come to terms and are joining forces. At reset, St. Kitts will become a port controlling nation.


Now this may look like a huge power move to control a large portion of the map. It is true that once all parties join St. Kitts we will control 9 ports. However it is our intention to reduce this number to 6. We are in the process of speaking to other nations and aspiring ones to bring them on to the map or further their port control. This shall be done with in the coming weeks.

St Kitts is rich in history. It was found by Europeans in the 1493, when Christopher Columbus was on his second voyage. But it really didn't come into its own until the 1600-1700's. Under English and French colonization, the island was rich in soil and became one of the largest Tobacco producing areas. This drew the eye of the Spanish who raided and took control of the island in the 1625. The Treaty of Madrid in 1630, gave the island back to England. But St. Kitts will never forget the atrocities the Spanish caused. By 1640, the Virginia's had taken over the bulk of the Tobacco trade so St. Kitts started producing Sugar Cane and did so for the next 365 years...

St Kitts has been and will continue to be a strong nation with strong leadership. All are welcome under its flag however we will not be participating in stipends at first.
I don't fear death. I look forward to it with great anticipation. For then I will met God face to face and let him know that I stole his Man of War!!!

Interesting move and very well carried out : but what of the starving millions left behind in Egypt and IoM? Who will care for them, left homeless and destitute? if you care, send 10 credits to the Starving Millions Rescue Fund, administered by Danik, who will offer succour and threadbare blankets to the suffering : remember, just 10 credits could save a life!

legal stuff : due to high, but reasonable, administration costs and expenses, not all funds donated will be applied directly to the suffering millions, but enough will get through to provide splendid photo-opportunities!

The people of Nevis are proud of their rich heritage & beautiful homeland. We have grown weary of playing second fiddle to our impudent neighbor to the north who conveniently forgets that the flag has two stars, not one. The days of Christopher robbin' our identity are over.

I, Jeanne de Clisson, hereby Proclaim Nevis to be a Free & Sovereign nation reserving all salvage rights to ships submerged within our territorial waters along with any & all coinage to be found beneath our sandy soils. Furthermore I demand a recount of the 1998 referendum for secession which failed by the narrowest of margins under dubious circumstances.

This shall not stand.

Perhaps a map that includes both Islands and a wonderful view of Nevis from St. kitts may appease you.

One significant point that Shadowood left out of St. Kitts history: St. Kitts has had its own king! King Slindur took care of the citizens in St. Kitts with low tax rates and banana holidays at the western fort (lovely view from that fort!).

May St. Kitts return to its glory days and see another benevolent king/queen!

Awesome fact Slindur. I just ranked and saw your name. Very cool! Perhaps the old king should return home. ;)

I am glad to have the chance to work alongside William and Shadowood.
I invite other Egyptian and IOM players to join in on the merger.
