It is. Heavily derivative I suppose.

You could use the design for the motor-chariots that were to be used in Van Buren.

Otherwise, I'd say motorcycles are fine.

There are... motor chariots?! I wasn't aware of that...

Yeah, I believe I'll go with those

Yep, leftover from old design documents of Van Buren.

I see. Never looked at much Van Buren stuff, sad as that is to say.

So, is everyone OK with the Roman equipment? The rifle I wasn't sure about.

I'll get to work on the faction sheet now, though I'm tempted to just put in big letters: It's just Caesar's Legion, but in Rome

For shame.

I think it's all fine. The rifle may be a tad out of place, but that's alright.

Haha, you could just call it the Neo-Roman Empire, Caesar Edition.

Yeah, it really looks that way with the camo to me. I guess you just have to keep in mind the one I'm going for is wood/metal one, no camouflage.

Shh! You're giving away the name!

What does everyone think of some good ol' sea monsters in the Atlantic. I know it doesn't make too much sense that marine life would mutate like that, but I think it'd add a bit of good atmosphere and help out with my faction's feel a little bit more.

Also, you know what would make me really happy? Saying that the American/British Naval forces from WWII are still in Iceland . If not that's completely acceptable.

2. Thats acceptable.

I can't imagine it'd be a huge deal. As long as its not a huge hindrance to naval trade and all. It'd be interesting to see.

They surely would have moved on somewhere along the line, given Divergence starts around WWII.

Ah, I know. I just... y'know, wanted a military of some sort, as I'm planning on starting out in Iceland in my faction history and then expanding into mainland Scandinavia.

I'm glad you think so .

Name: Osmanl? ?mparatorlu?u The Ottoman Empire (1299 -1923, 2083 - present)

History: With the resource wars wrapping up in the Middle East most of the small countries break down into bands of warlords fighting to control as much land as possible. The large oil producers like Saudi Arabia become insignificant and the cities that haven't been nuked are continuously raided. However previous middle eastern powerhouses which include Israel Turkey and Egypt manage to keep some control over the remaining populace of their respective countries. The government of Israel, in order to preserve Judaism, began its conquest of smaller countries including Syria, Lebanon, Georgia, and Jordan for the acquisition of proper land and resources. In 2070 the Israeli government begins construction of a large scale bunker complex across the east border of the Mediterranean sea, but many of the bunkers and tunnels are left unfinished due to the Great War obliterating much of the Middle East's large centers of population and infrastructure again.

Unlike the Israeli's the Turks lock down what they can. Immediately following 2060 full scale relief efforts spring up in an attempt to save what is left of the country and to gain support of the people. Ankara and Istanbul are abandoned and the government takes refuge in Adana. As the stability of Turkey continually fails more and more people leave the governments programs as they do not offer aid to everyone. The National Assembly decides to focus all efforts on cities with any sort of infrastructure and the immediate surrounding area leaving the land controlled by the Turks as circles on a map. In 2076 the conditions of Turkey slowly begin to stabilize, but all the work is rendered useless when the world is engulfed in atomic fire.

The five years following the Great War the Turkish National Assembly lays low, and in 2082 a six month long meeting begins. It is finally decided in 2083 to reestablish the Sultanate of Turkey as the use of democracy becomes close to useless in the new world. A strong leader is required to rule the people under a harsh martial law and Ali Fidan I (A Noble Sapling for a new country) is declared to be the new Sultan of Turkey. Immediately Adana is reinforced by Ali Fidan in order to repel any invaders who may dare to take the city. Contact with Gaziantep and Urfa are made and European Route 90 is set up as the major trade route between the cities. Due to the small size the strip is heavily secured and stability falls over the area as harsh law is maintained by military presence. The only expansion made during the first days of the reestablishment empire was a narrow strip of land to Ankara and including the city. Ali Fidan died in 2101 and his son Suleiman took over as Suleiman III.

Suleiman soon reintroduced the non-secular regime back to the territory and became the 38th Sultan of Turkey and the 30th Caliph of the Ottoman Empire. The main religion of the area was Islam and for the next 35 years almost everybody was solely a Sunni Muslim. When the future survival of turkey was apparent Suleiman raised an army of considerable size and prepared to strengthen his weak "empire". An army of 1,000 soldiers of the 15,000 population was ordered to move and take Aleppo. After a few months of fighting of various raider groups the men succeeded and the city was taken over. The stability over the area was low and it suffered continuous attacks from raiders and warlords, but stability was brought to the area in 2105. Over the next 30 years military campaigns continued and in 2136 the Ottoman 1st army reached Jerusalem, but like the rest of the Israeli cities it was almost useless. Due to religious importance immediate renovations began on the city.

In 2140 due to logistical failures Ankara was lost to the Ottomans, but Suleiman deemed this necessary as it was far too costly to hold onto the city. Within the next five years the Ottomans expanded their reach to the Islamic holy city of Mecca, and like Jerusalem renovations began immediately, and Cairo. As the territorial claims moved eastward the Ottomans found the terrors that the Great War brought onto the world. In the Arabian and Syrian desert mutated humans found refuge in small abandoned towns and derelict bunkers. The army called these people mud men as their skin appeared to be a nasty muddy texture, but it was just mutations due to the radiation. In 2157 the army broke through a mud man stronghold and made contact with Baghdad. Suleiman III died in 2159 and during his death was nicknamed Suleiman the Great (not to be confused with Suleiman the magnificent) for his military campaigns and domestic reforms. His second son took the throne as his first son died from disease and he was Serdar I. Under his rule religious tolerance was issued in a similar fashion of the old empire and the laws were changed offer each person equality. Although the attempts were just and in good nature it could not stop conflict especially from raiders and mud men who plagued most of the southern territory.

Government: An absolute monarchy ruled by the ?ahin dynasty. The Sultain or Caliph decides all laws and his word is final, however the religious law over the subjects didn't allow for the ruler to abuse his power substantially.

Outside of the monarchy are the three courts. One for Islamic purposed, one for non-Islamic purposes, and the last being the trade court. The rest of the government and laws resembled those of the late Ottoman Empire.

Economy: The Ottoman Empire is mainly an agrarian society, however several of the larger cities like Gaziantep can use factories to utilize metals to their full potential. Various mines are scattered throughout the western mountains and jewels are prized among the people. The Ottomans also fish extensively in the seas surrounding their territory but much of the area is plagued by pirates, so mercenary work as privateers isn't uncommon as they work with the Navy to destroy them.

The Suez Canol is also important to the economy for those who move through it.

*I'm going to finish this tomorrow.

That's a negative Ghostrider. We're kind of down there and I don't really want to have to deal with a Kraken.

Oh, perfectly fine then. You need a military somehow, I thought this was just augmenting your current force. No issue here, then.

Hey W0MBAT, Greece has some stuff with Turkey.

Also by the way, Greece attacked Turkey during the Resources War to goin Chromite Mines in Turkey. To be short, the war was bloody. I will provide more detlais in my FS when I finish.

This reminds me, does anyone want to establish some conflict or anything else with Russia? Material for the RP, FS's, all that.

Oh yeah, hehe, I forgot about that. We can do without the seamonsters, then. Don't want your city springing a leak now, do we.

Haha, thanks. Yeah, Iceland is the only member of NATO with no military... at all. This doesn't mean we'll be soft, though. Just wait...

I like it! It actually fits in really well with my faction. I don't know why, but for some reason sea monsters and a post-apocalyptic setting is really cool to me.

It'll be like Clash of the Titans! Release the Kraken!

Does that mean you'll be solely Iceland, or Scandinavia and all ruled by Iceland?

I like it too, but I'm not sure I want to ruin Vault Ninja's day like that. Maybe the beasts are afraid of light, and therefore avoid Rapture.

All of Scandinavia ruled by Iceland, forming the Kalmar Union of old. Basically like the Viking colonization of Iceland, but in reverse.

That reminds me, would it be okay if I said that in early years, before Icelandic conquest of the region, Viking-like raiders from mainland Scandinavia raided coastal Europe extensively?

It's been down there for about 200 years, it's a little more than a leak now. I'm really ready to get this going, people don't even know when WW 2 ended, this Great War is going to be a whole new ballgame.

Well, they can just not be in his area Or just in mine. I honestly wouldn't care.

I have an odd desire to write a flashback of Caesar fighting the "Kraken". It would help establish his legend all through Rome! I can see it now... Caesar, the Kraken killer!
