Alright, I haven't played Spore in a week, let's get a move on!

"Relations with the Pizeans improved once the Imperials loaned them money for their development of various things, allegedly including cannons capable of reaching other continents; this lead to improved relations and even some trade (via Burglars)."
"The final major city of the modern world, Salds, the southern neighbor of the Kaspaitans, was founded. It was a nation under King Braun, who enjoyed and followed the teachings of Spode and hence liked the Imperials from the start."
"On a similar note, the Kaspaitans finalized an alliance with the Imperials shortly after the founding of Salds. A connection is suspected."
"When Hullin was added to the Empire, there was much rejoicing in all parts of it, from the Hullins because of the greater infrastructure budget of the Imperials and the rest because of a recent discovery in Pizean...flight. The Pizeans were coaxed to share this discovery after being reminded of their outstanding debts."
"Thus was born the
Airship Enterprise, a massive zeppelin which searched the globe for obscure tribes to locate and sell stuff to. This airship had a wide variety of incidents occur on it, which inspires a series of films and other programs that continues to this day,
Cloud Journey.
"The
Enterprise inspired the
Enterprise-class airships. While not even a third as large as the original
Enterprise, these were still quite capable freighters. The E-1 became the backbone of Pizean trade."
"Velbart and Styrumin had been at war for a while, but it was getting to the point where Imperial interests were threatened. Hence,
diplomatic measures were taken to prevent this war's conclusion...but it was too late."
"Trade was opened with the neighbors of the Forest Nation, after a generous donation to their infrastructure and military. It was also opened with Salds, without the need for bribery. However, the Homarpians were being besieged by the Forest Nation..."

Will the Red Nation survive siege by the Forest Nation? Will the Forest Nation rival the glory of the Cupcake Empire? Will anyone read this update?
In case the answer to this last question is "Yes," here's a little treat I just made:
In case it's not clear, that is the yert, a Lesser Race mentioned towards the beginning of the Civilization Stage.
