Yeah, Adjilia definitely needs to have harbors, considering that a significant portion of its capital city is made of harbors.

[NUKE9.13]

Pricecheck plz. What do small/normal/large farms cost to build and maintain?

[Roboson]

A small farm is 300 to purchase, 100 to maintain, and allows for 5,000 additional population to be supported.
A normal farm is 500 to purchase, 200 to maintain, and allows for 10,000 addition population to be supported.
A large farm, plantation, orchard, or other large food producing facility costs 1000 to purchase, 400 to maintain, and allows for 25,000 additional population to be supported.

Farms aren't the only food income sources by the way, ships can be used to produce food (4,000 additional population), as well as ranches, whalers, and other ways to get food. Right now food is pretty much the sole determination of population, but that will change as people start dying the game progresses.

Leader Name: High Lord Xeximas 
Leader Description: physically Xex is a young looking man, able and strong, with slightly pale skin and grey eyes which look to have seen far more then they should. mentally, he is a man of the military, Quick with tactics and Discipline.
Country Name: Isteria
Country Description:
 Location: Isteria is located to the north of The morosian League, east of the inland sea.
 Terrain: To the north, isteria is Mountinus, more towards the south east it is covered in fine, strangely white Desert, and to the south west there is forest.
 Settlements: The largest city in Isteria is Located To the west of lake Skiski, Right next to the sea and high in the mountains, there is another, smaller city which is much more a town to the south by the inland sea.
 Other: Isteria is known for the strange beasts and fine marble which are both found abundantly on, and in its lands.
Government/Culture Description: Democratic monarchy, The government is run by a single man or woman with many advisors who normally look over an entire "Section" of government, on the leader's death, his or her children are Voted upon by all who are in the "Capital" city, with the winner of the vote taking the place of high lord and given the right to promote or demote advisors, while all others are put to death.
Isteria has always been slightly... isolated from the other lands despite holding much wealth in the form of marble, perhaps it is the monsters which roamed almost unchecked within its borders, or perhaps its the mages which hid in the Secluded villages while the witch hunters were free to burn anyone, but Isteria has truly never been as open as the other lands.
Starting Unit: alchemist

Is this placement correct? It wasn't super clear where the capital should go. Did you want it on the ocean or the inland sea?

[NUKE9.13]

Hey, Glass. Want to establish a trade route with Moros? It wouldn't offer much at the moment, but once the League reclaims its enclaves/establishes trade routes with other lands, you'd gain access to a whole host of exotic resources.

Crazyabe, same question.

[Glass]

I wa actually considering offering the same to you; I enjoy taking part in trade routes. Robo, can we consider it as being an established thing that we're doing at the start?

[Roboson]

Hmmmm, you should probably do something in the IC to establish something like that. Perhaps send a messenger ship with goods or something like that.

[NUKE9.13]

I would imagine it requires the right units to set up.
Serendipitously, I possess such units. 

Gonna wait for crazyabe's response, then do a post in IC.

[Glass]

The response is made.

I'd say it'll be a good 10 or so turns until those prototypes are really good enough to use as actual units; for now, it's a show of plans and goodwill.

[Roboson]

I would imagine it requires the right units to set up.
Serendipitously, I possess such units. 

Gonna wait for crazyabe's response, then do a post in IC.

Well look at that! You sure do have the right unit for such an endeavor 
Although, a diplomat, emissary, or other similar unit could set up trade deals as well.

[Jilladilla]

Hmm... Might sign up for this in a bit. Schrodinger's Terrain is in effect yeah? Where things are undefined until we define them?
What's the starting tech level look like?

Welp, time to go to the write-up forge...

[UristMcChladni]

Let me know if I should change anything/how much leeway I have to write more and specify names, etc. Mostly wanted to secure a spot.

Spoiler: Ahara of Icthos (click to show/hide)

Leader Name: Ahara Sansrain
Leader Description: Ahara is tall and muscular, with short cropped light brown hair. She has a commanding presence and voice, and is regarded with the utmost respect by her crew and followers. She is very honor driven, and holds tradition in high regard. While many of the most recent rulers of Icthos chose to claim their prize through raiding of far away lands and bringing back gold, she kept with the old ways and took her prize from the sea. The beak of a massive squid is mounted in her great hall as a testament to her success.
Country Name: Icthos
Country Description:
  Icthos is located on the long peninsula to the southeast of the Morosian League, stretching from said kingdom's southwest corner to the tip of the peninsula. While the eastern coast is rocky and inhospitable, the north stretch of land consists of a large protected bay guarded by the northern island, and the south coast lies sheltered within the Gulf of Naaros (or I can not name the gulf if you'd prefer).

  Icthos' population is divided among these four regions. On the northern island there are only small fishing villages and lighthouses. Situated within the bay that island guards lies the capital, which is dominated by massive docks. Along the southern shore lies a smaller city that is known for it's fruit trees and calm beaches, more of a retreat for the rich than a city that produces for itself.

Government/Culture Description: Icthos is a meritocracy. In order to become ruler of the land, a person must demonstrate their prowess at sea and bring back a trophy. On the death of the previous ruler all those who own their own ships are welcome to gather a crew and set out, and three years from that date the victor is decided by a council appointed by a previous ruler at the time of their death. This trophy can be won by raiding other lands, killing the giants that lurk beneath the waves, or any other means by which the captain sees fit. The only requirement is that it come through prowess as a captain.

Starting Unit: Harpooner/Spear Fisherman (Hunters, but on the sea)

Things are pretty much open as far as terrain goes. As long as its not too extreme it should be fine. I'm working on creating a hexmap overlay to this map (Because it will look nicer and be more functional) and so if that works out then I'll add features to the map.

The starting tech level is medieval with a sprinkle of technology steampunk, alchemy, and other fledgling parascientific endeavors. Magic is also pretty rudimentary as it has been outlawed for a few hundred years, but does exist.

Leader on Ship: Establish trade route with Adjilia. Bring 100 coins worth of cargo (mostly wine) to trade.

When I said you had the perfect unit, I meant your merchant. The leader will totally work, its just a dangerous action to take. In some ways they're a lot like the king in a game of chess, the main one being, it's really bad if they die.

Acceptable to me.

I figured my leader, being a merchant, would also work. If there's a substantial risk involved, I may have to rethink things. Are we talking like 1/6 chance of the ship sinking, or what?
