All, The Faedertellus is once again ALIVE! After a long hiatus we have returned...However with the geopolitical changes on Micras much of the original Fatherland has disappeared and remains in the hands of foreign powers. What I will say at this stage is that there is little point smashing our way through their borders to take back our land. We must start small, rebuild our arsenals, our government and create a safe haven that the Nova English Diaspora can re-establish themselves at. Hence please see the first official communication of the Nova English Provisional Council headed up by myself. Available positions within the council will soon become available for others to apply for. Official Communication 001ANow getting on to the things that need doing... I have listed out a number of Objectives below in addition to a number of items that I feel we should begin working on. However the purpose of this thread to a certain extent is to begin brainstorming ideas and items that we can undertake to preserve and rebuild this great and glorious land; OBJECTIVES:- Claim what is left of the Britannic Sandwich Islands.
- Rearrange the Forum to suit our new position.
- Re-kindle old political relationships and begin working on our younger compatriots.
- Organise a large Rec-war of the kind that Micras hasn't seen in a while.
TASKS:- Re-establish the 'Sword & Cross' Newspaper. (Monthly Publication – Which I am going to now undertake using a PDF format rather than the older Paint based format.)
- Re-organise the Military. (This must now suit a much smaller population. In addition to the fact that we are now 'poorer' and most likely sourcing weapons via other countries or small factories.)
- Create and In-depth culture for the Britannic Sandwich Islands. (The smaller location enables us to concentrate on this small lump of territory. Thus the production of Maps etc.. in the style of the Atlases I had produced for other regions. In addition to this there is all the rebuilding elements which will help to create a great backstory and chance to wipe some of the slate clean.
- Sort out the forum... (Currently undertaking this item...I have been successful in cleaning up most of the spam and banning the bots and I will now be updating the images, categories and boards to reflect our new position.)
Anyhow please feel free to post your ideas and discuss the above as we move forward into this brave new world.

Concerning the Government: Is Nova England to be reestablished as a Kingdom, like it was originally, or as some sort of republic (or neither)? I notice that you no longer seem to refer to yourself as the King.
Concerning the forum: If you want, you can create a sub-forum off my Commonwealth forum (without having to join our union). We have reliable hosting (and un-metered), thanks to Liam Sinclair, and it's ad-free. We also haven't had any spam yet. Your area can have its own theme and can be completely independent of our Commonwealth. Let me know if you're interested.
I haven't got a lot of time today, but I'll probably be back tomorrow with some ideas. Any idea how many other citizens remain?
Thanks, Charles

In terms of Government it will still remain a Constitutional Monarchy but in terms of Backstory, 'Josephus I' abdicated when he didn't have a country to rule over. Hence at this time is the De Facto leader of the Provisional Council until such a time that the country is strong enough to re-establish the Witan and re-crown myself...
I'll have a think about the forum....But thank you for the offer!

I've been questioning the feasibility of keeping Lighthouse independent, as I've got enough other projects going to keep me busy. So I was thinking that we could combine concepts into one project and get more activity out of it.
Pharos is still a condominium with Babkha, so Nova England would take over as the other signatory party. Melton is on the east coast and could very easily be re-established, and the remaining western region could stay as part of the LCS, which would assume a role as an autonomous province of Nova England. It could conveniently be used as a base for Nova English privateers. You could provide me with a subforum here to work out of.
How does that sound?

That sounds good with me Orion! Melton can be re-established effectively as a Military Camp from which militias/privateers are operating from.
Aye sounds good to me and provides a good 'Backstory' base from which the reclamation forces of the Faedertellus can spread out from. Following months/years of integrating with the locals...
But a joint board would be a great idea... Shall I create a new thread in which to further discuss this proposal?

Excellent! Yes, we should probably start a new thread for further discussion.

You realise that Mercurian Nova England is allowed to be claimed by the original Nova England, should they want it, this'll make the whole start up a lot easier for you, and we should be able to reclaim an equivalent piece of land back anyway

No don't worry but thank you for the offer! A the moment I want to concentrate on a smaller area and this gives us the opportunity to do so. Whilst also hopefully adding some new cultural spins, aiding trouble makers in the old homelands and hopefully building up a good foundation so that in the future we can reclaim some of the homelands in the future.

But you can have it for free! And I've already drawn up a claim Attachments:

General,
I'd like to say that I agree with Joe, for the record. It would make things a bit easier if the Nova English had at least part of their homeland to start with. It would give them a foothold on the continent at least.

Lord Bourbon - A debate is now open in the Provisional Council. LINKCharles - Right my friend, first things first let's get you to fill in the formal immigration forms so that you can receive your passport. LINKIt would be really handy if you could compile a report of the newer nations that inhabit Micras. Joe - Lol, at the moment I want to leave the homeland for a little while so I can develop the Britannic Sandwich Island. Then establish a separatist group in Mercury (with your permission of course) to push for political independence of the Fatherland in a couple of months time. That way it will help to benefit the activity and cultural levels of both of our countries.

I think it is still best to leave the main part of the homeland for at least a month to ensure that we have enough activity to push forward with.

Post by joefoxon on Feb 17, 2013 16:34:22 GMT
But no separatist group would be necessary because the conditions of us claiming that area were that you would get it back if you returned.

I know but it helps create a nice bit of activity (All in-sim stuff) Whilst also keeping some continuity in terms of the current backstory.... Which effectively makes the scenario as follows; Mainland abandoned ... Those that remain join with the Republic of Mercury. Nova English Diaspora float away from the former territories to start life's anew elsewhere... Josephus I returns to Melton where he establish a camp to train militia members for the provisional council. Whilst raiding small vessel to get cash and assets to fund the provisional council. Invasion of Port Impregnable to get access to more weaponry and a solid stronghold. Effectively at this moment in time Nova England is 'broke' and effectively only able to afford governing a small region. I'm planning to organise a rec-war in the near future that will set up the Fatherland with enough prestige to be worthy of returning to the Homeland.
