In the Year 1AD a strange apparition appeared over the city of Persoplois, the Persina Capital, Many later described it as some sort of great light , others denied that anything had actually happened at all.
But soon after this event a new leader rose to the throne of Persia, King Rasputin I. Claiming to be led by some divine force he soon had a large following as he promised great expansion for the nation. All the elders of each city sent their virgin daughters to the Palace to become the harem of Rasputin I.
The first act of King Rasputin was to deal with the unhappy people in Susa and with this accomplished and all citys ordered to send out new citizens to found even more citys. The first decade of King Raz was finished.
10AD The National census was undertaken and it was discovered that Persia had grown to 600 000 citizens . A national holiday was decalred and King Raz settled down with his harem for the day. During the 2nd decade of King Rasputin I , Rasputin prophesied of a far off nation known as Romans being destroyed by another bnation known as Carthoginians. But the people disregarded this proclamation as they knew they were all alone in htis world. But King Raz oredered one fleet home as an escape for him and his harem (just in case). The rest of the fleet continued to explore the North East seas.
20AD Another national holiday proclaimed and a new city built between Pasargadae and Antioch , which was to become home of Rasputin's harem and where he sujourned during the long summer months, this new city was named Raz Beach.
30ADWord arrived back from the fleet that our trusty Diplomat team had negotiated with some natives they found in a local hut on islands to our east , the natives graciously gave 50 Gold in tribute. Another new city was built on the south coast of our small island home, this city was named Tyre ( King rasputin told the people in years to come this place would be home of a great invention called the wheel, aslo known as tyres) agai nthe people jsut smiled knowingly and ignored him
40AD Citizens from Gordium and Pasargadae decided to split and find their own citys, this was greeted by celebration from King Rasputin who once again went to Raz beach.
50AD The following annoncement ws made by the Persian Scientists " The Persian People are fascinated and awed by the forces of nature surrounding them. Earthquakes, storms and other phenomena are generally regarded as signs from heaven. Individuals and groups have arisen and formulated explanations for these events, they have now passed that knowledge along to the nation. The priests and priestesses of Persia, often called oracles, claim union with the divine through meditation and trance-like contemplation. This primative mysticism offers the people of Persia the first, tenuous links with the powers that shaped our world."
60AD Warriors were set to garrison Raz Beach after many citizens had joined this lovely holiday resort.
70AD The city of Tyre also was garrisoned by Warriors. Fleet continues to sail north , but discovers magical forces to the north preventing further travel so they head south east.
80AD Citizens from Antioch head out to found new city. The people of Susa who for the past century had been building a great Statue to be named "Colossus" suddenly discoverd their construction had fallen down and now resembleds some form of Pyramids, King Rasputin visited the site and decided this would make a great place to store the nations excess food. another national holiday proclaimed. The wandering citizens of Gordium discovered a great new city site with plenty of fishing spots and settled to make a ne wcity called Sardis (this was the name later given to a small form of fish found of the coast Sardines became a wonderful delicacy especially on toast). The wandering citizens from Pasargadae also found a new home and built a city called Samaria on the island to the east of Persian Central. (This city was so named as the people when they arrived there declared ' Wow this would be some area to build a city in')
90AD The people of Arbela sent forth a load of camels loaded to the hilt with some of their finest wines. Word had come to them that the people in Antioch were Wine Conisgours (Antioch of course was later to be World wide headquarters of A/A)
100AD Very quiet on the home front , while the fleets explored eastwards
110AD Much population increase, much activitiy at Raz Beach
120AD Persian Scientists announce a new form of government , to be called The Republic, but King Rasputin I rejects calls for a change, he says it will only make the people sad.
130AD Paragadae has another town meeting and resolves to split again, the happy citizens of Tarsus build a new city of Hamadam (no particualr reason for the name)
140AD Another census reveals the population is now 700,000 The camels from down south arive in Antioch and much wine is consumed, the best bottles sent to Raz beach for the harem. Word of barbarians near Gordium arrive at palace , but everyone was drunk so disregarded the info. Fortunatly the local governeor of Gordium had trained up two battalions of hosremen to protect his domain. The barbarian archers were soon dispatched.
150AD Further revelling and merryment across the nation, fleets stil lat sea
160AD King Rasputin I orders more citizens to go looking for more city spots. Expand expand expand
170AD New cities founded on more islands to north.
180AD The people are growing tired of their old king who is rumoured now to be over 200 yrs old, no sign of him for the past twenty years. Word arrives of some foreign nation building a major wonder called the colossus.
190AD Further barbarian activity near Gordium causes loss of one battalian of horsemen. Still no sign of Raputin I , rumours abound that he is actually dead , and that his harem are now running the nation. Another city built by citizens on main island
200AD Persians are very unhappy now, the larger citys are now very frustrated with the missing Rasputin. Rioting breaks out in various towns
In the 200 years of his reign 8 new citys had been built, a magnificent food storage area knows as the Pyramids were built and the population had grwon from 600 000 to 1 060 000 .....

600ce - Darius Marquius ascends to the Persian throne. He consults with the demographers, and is not very impressed. The economy is weak, so he decides to continue the efforts to improve that area. Camel breeders are given special tax breaks to encourage caravan building. Cities with slow growth switch production to harbors. To address the rampant unhappiness, the new king orders a stronger military presence in every city.
620ce - Wise men create a code of chivalry. Distressed damsels feel a wave of relief as courteous men rush to their aid. The army decides these fellows could be put to good use. The wise men are directed to concoct a more efficient economic system. Various cities construct marketplaces and harbors, and the occasional courthouse to order naysayers to do time in the pokey.
640ce - King Marquius makes peace with the Aztecs, and trades for the knowledge of iron working. He then makes peace with the Mongols, who scoff at acquiring knowledge that could enlighten them. Losers. Later the Carthaginians agree to a peace treaty, and trade the knowledge of engineering. The king shares a drink with Hannibal, and they part on rather good terms. He then contacts the Vikings, who demand tribute. King Marquius tells them to shove it up their collective bunghole, and offers a peace treaty instead. They accept, and trade us knowledge of the wheel. Barrow makers gleefully receive this news, scheming new ways to put the technology to use.
650ce - Wine caravan arrives in Cardiff. The Celts are downright hostile, but cough up 320 gold for the wine. They get drunk, beginning a long-standing tradition. More marketplaces are built.
670ce - The Japanese are contacted, but snub an offer of peace and demand tribute. The king decides this worthless scum should be eradicated from the face of the earth. Sushi restaurants in the capital are burned down.
680ce - Wise men present a new economics at the palace. The king decides it is good and does not behead the lot of them. Instead, he decides they should organize a new religion, as there are too many gods. There should be only one, he says, thinking to himself that he ought to be it...
730ce - An aimlessly wandering caravan discovers 50g in a hut.
750ce - The wise men present their new monotheism to the king. Although they don't call him god, he is pleased and sets them to organizing a new spirit of invention in which the kingdom's creative minds can flourish. Construction of a great trading company and a giant chapel begin. Caravans will be gathered from across the kingdom to aid in the construction.
760ce - The latest book review pamphlet arrives in the mail. Some clown named Machiavelli describes the Persians as being in a pathetic state of wealth.  The king is not amused, and continues to have marketplaces constructed.
780ce - Carthage reports the completion of King Richard's Crusade, and the Mongols build the Oracle. "Worthless wonders, anyway" grumbles king Marquius.
790ce - A shipload of beads arrives in Jinjan, and the empire gains 60 gold from the deal.
800ce - Gems mined near Dariush Kabir arrive in Ghulaman, the kingdom squeezes out 66 gold.
810ce - Beads from Tarsus are sent to the capitol, and the taxmen shake down the merchants for a fine sum of 72 gold. King Darius Marquius consults the demographers for the state of the kingdom. There are 5.4 million Persians, more than any other peoples. Persopolis and Susa are among the 5 best places to live in the entire world. The people are literate, healthy, and produce more goods than any other peoples. To the king's pleasure, the economists report that Persian income has almost doubled during his reign, from $12 to $23 per capita. He then goes off to bed and dies. The people don't care, as they are too busy counting their cash. O, cruel fate...

810 - Following the untimely death of King Darius Marquis, a quick run-down of the kingdom shows the following.
25 cities; 5,430,000 citizens; 622 gold
The new king, Shah Greenspan, sets down a decree that all fuedal lords shall ensure that each fiefdom is utilizing all workers to ensure maximum trade production. We shall concentrate our efforts on devising an economic system that will be the envy of the entire world.
Our scientists have reported a breakthrough in the field of patent rights. Perhaps now would be a good time to begin a major overhaul of our military system. In order to ensure domestic tranquility and prosperity, we must have the most modern defensive units available. The city of Pasargardae shall begin the construction of a workshop that will hasten the training of modern units. Perhaps after stockpiling a tidy treasury we can set our sites on merging other nations into our corporate structure. The scientists are instructed to begin the quest for a new governmental system that will ensure maximum shareholder wealth.
820 - A painter by the name of Michelangelo in the city of Susa has reported that he will shortly complete a chapel that will bring peace and joy to our citizens. The central treasury rewards his hard work with a MacArthur fellowship that shall hasten the completion of his project.
830 - A wandering caravan on a large, unpopulated island has stumbled across a small village of citizens eager to go out a found a city to the greater corporate good. We shall find an appropriate spot for our new fiefdom.
850 - One of our scientists, Adam Smith, has reported he shall soon have a place that traders can come to exchange their wares. This shall be a great boon to our economy and a small loan is made for the completion of this great product.
880 - The arrival of several caravans to the city of Pasargardae has hastened the completion of our unit workshop. Leonardo ensures us that it will be completed ahead of schedule and under budget. Well done!
The small island fiefdom of Samaria had recently started working on a major project which shall be redirected into a new project shortly.
Our scientists report the development of something they call Democracy. They ensure me that once the people have accepted this new government that trade shall flourish and corruption will be eliminated. I am somewhat skeptical. They shall now begin working towards help our ships navigate the sea better.
890 - The citizens of Samaria have been instructed to redirect their efforts into building a monument to our new democracy.
910 - Our new Democracy is now in place which has given some leftist, tree-hugging wackos a new voice. They seem to have a hard time accepting the transportation of our camels via sea-routes and wish to see all military units abolished. We are forced to raise our luxury rate to appease these extremists but we shall still clear 98 gold and our scientists report they shall be able to cut their R&D time in half.
920 - Another unintended consequence of this new Democracy is the elevated cost of military readiness. Our Board of Directors has ordered each collective to look for ways of downsizing our security without leaving ourselves vulnerable. The advantages of what has become known as Leonardo's Workshop are becoming readily apparent. The people are also greatly comforted by Michelangelo's Chapel. I am honored by the citizens of Tureng Tepe who are holding celebrations on my behalf.
950 - Navigation is complete and now our scientists are researching a new method of projecting weaponry. The citizens of Samaria are again asked to redirect their efforts this time towards a expedition to explore the uncharted seas. A brave captain by the name of Magellan is spearheading the project.
970 - The central bank has issued a low-interest loan to Magellan so that he may complete his project more quickly.
980 - Magellan has set out on his expedition and Leonardo's Workshop has successfully taught our pikeman on how to handle our discovery of gunpowder and trained them to be Musketeers. Our scientists now report they will begin work on discovering the reason things fall when dropped.
The Aztecs are reporting the completion of something they are calling The Great Library. Our scientists have indicated a greater interest in our technologies from the Aztecs. So far it has proven beyond their scope of understanding.
990 - Mr. Greenspan has announced his impending retirement and reports that the collective is on very solid ground financially and the citizens are still celebrating his name in various cities.
1000 - Mr. Greenspan officially steps down.
