The Kingdom of the Crescent

Kingdom of the crescent
The building was magnificent, a blending of ancient Babylonian, and newer Greek architecture. It stood strong in the center of Babylon, its wall etched with symbols of Marduk, and other gods. Inside it is dominated by a single room a huge area with a giant circular table, two great chairs sit side by side, surrounded by other smaller chairs, the wall hold huge scales, pictures of the goddesses of justice in dozens of religions, and also symbols of Babylon, and a crescent moon. A map lies in the center of the table. And behind the thrones of the regents lies a large flag, the flag of the kingdom

Policy: the kingdom of the crescent is a strong, centralized, and above all fair government, which seeks to better the lives of all of its inhabitants.

Diplomacy: the Kingdom of the crescent is currently at war with the arche, a situation that can be remedied at any time; we will accept any peace treaty that maintains our current borders, and also lets us retain our independence. The kingdom is also willing (until our war with them is over) to assist any other small kingdoms in their secession from the arche, giving supplies whenever possible.

Military settlers: men of the arche who have not raised their arms against the kingdom are always welcome to join us as brothers.
