Webpage:
http://empiremud.net/BackgroundEmpireMUD was originally written by Paul Clarke and is derived from CircleMUD 3.0 bpl 17, by Jeremy Elson. Paul began EmpireMUD in October 2000 as a hobby project while attending the University of Arizona in Tucson. This is the first time in over a decade that Paul has run an EmpireMUD himself, although he has encouraged others to use this code base and there have been many other EmpireMUDs over the years.

Well..those sound pretty boring actually. I think the most interesting part is the Empire part.
Empires- Found your own Empire! Establish diplomatic relationships with other Empires, declare war and even make trade agreements! Below is how my Empire looks like...
Kingdom of Eleuria, led by Indirik
The Kingdom of Eleuria respects all other empires and intends to maintain a
favorable relationship with all other empires. We will also gladly accept all
non-aggression pacts, alliance offers and trade agreements, unless you are
known to the Kingdom as an aggressive or dishonorable empire. Also, Bluebirds
are a protected species of Eleuria and any person - whether Eleurian or not -
caught endangering these birds in Eleurian territory will be punished severely.
People are allowed to hunt these birds outside Eleurian territory, however they
are not encouraged to do so.

- Build structures using materials gained from the surroundings! You can Dig to get rocks and clay, you can Gather to get sticks, you can Chop to get wood and Scrape them to get logs, you can plant crops and harvest them to get fruits like cherries and peaches etc etc. You can do a lot of stuff! In fact the game is kinda like Dwarf Fortress, haha! Below is a list of several buildings you can build.

- Build houses to attract citizens! Citizens are NPCs, by the way. But they will increase your Empire Score and place it higher in the Empire rankings. Once you have gotten the Workforce technology, you can order your citizens to harvest, mine, gather and perform many other tasks. Awesome, eh?
And there's so much more! Start playing now! (You need a MUD client on your computer to run EmpireMUD)
