    Giovanniland reacted to Nouveau in The Newlanders: A Collaborative History of the Nouveauterran Peninsula   
    Part 1: Land Ahead

    A teenage officer stretched his body out over the rail to gaze at the far away strip of green on the horizon. The sun is high in the sky, and the water is calm.
    “Alert the captain,” he said, “Land dead ahead.” Marines and spare men came to the deck to see the green strip on the horizon. None of them could have conceived of what would take place in this place that would later be known as Nouveauterra.
    Captain Markus Fredsbringer and his fleet of 20 armed merchant vessels make landfall on the shores of Testa Viridus, so named because the land looked like a green tortoise shell in the distance, in the year 890 AF. Fredsbringer is a captain of the Markan Seas Trade Company, following orders from Emperor Ignavus of the Principality of Saint Mark, to establish a statio on this coast. Although the intentions of the mission are peaceful, the merchant vessels are laden with cannon and arms in case privateers or pirates attempt an attack on their formation.
    Captain Fredsbringer and his crew make landfall on the Southern Belt, at a point with dense and hardy monsoon-tested forest. They quickly establish a statio using the lumber from the nearby forest, and send back ships for supplies as well as to inform the MSTC of their success. Local people soon flock to see the sun-burned sailors in their guns and armor. Close behind them was a man in stately attire. Billowing white pants and a white shirt embellished with colored patterns, as well as tightly wrapped leather boots.
    The stately man’s name is recorded as Bertus of Nederwald, and after many conversations with Captain Fredsbringer, they establish a trading relationship with the people of that area, called Blauflocke. As the two converse more, Captain Fredsbinger discovers that Blauflocke is only one of many small fiefdoms in this southern coastal area. The fiefdoms spawned from the density of the forest, and the natural choke-points created by the environment. It also means said trade deal only applies to Blauflocke.
    Emperor Ignavus is pleased when news reaches the Principality with tales of success. He sends more vessels, and commissions scribes and learned men to go as well in order to record the culture.

    A recovered map of the area from 917 AF, commissioned by Emperor Ignavus
    and certified by Claudius Anguis, Chief of Operations in the Markan Seas Trade Company
    The Principality of Saint Mark gathered enough influence and local manpower to reform the first statio in a place they call Traiectus in 902 AF. It is for the most part a fortress with a small clustering of buildings nearby, but it will grow into a vibrant city of Gué in the far future. It will stand as a marker for the kind of influence Saint Mark will have on the region. Guns, and armor.
    A second expedition is sent out, and lands further north than the first group. They similarly have an easy time establishing good relations with the locals, and quickly aid them in founding the statio of Montes Magnos in 915 AF, which would later be known as Pointe-d’Espoir.
    These two outposts work as crucial logistical and military nodes for the Saint Markan empire, and will be the linchpin for future expansion.

    Thanks to everybody who showed up for this event❤️
    It was a lot of fun planning and executing the event, as well as seeing what everybody had to offer in terms of companies for their own countries. All these companies give life to the RP world and I hope to see a few of them reappear in other stories of the RP.

    Official statement regarding the suspension of the Ryxtylopiana-Ystiandes match
     
    This is an official statement from the Ryxtylopian Football Federation, regarding the suspension of the match between Ryxtylopiana and Ystiandes on the 20th matchday of the first stage of the First National League.
     
    INCIDENT REPORT:
    During the match between clubs: Unyon Ryxtylopiana, and Club di Diporte Ystiandes di Ryxtylopia, an unfortunate incident occurred were, proyectiles including rocks, bottles, and a few flares were thrown by the local supporters towards the visiting team's players after an inapropriate goal celebration was done in the 68th minute by visiting player Dinco Arvález towards the local supporters.
    The action by the local supporters in the Diportivo Ryxtylopiano Stadium forced the referee to stop, and later call off the match for security reasons by the 70th minute, no injuries have been reported on either side, however behavior like this from supporters is unacceptable due to the risk of injury to players from both teams and, however the actions of the visiting team are being reviewed to confirm if said actions were provocative towards the local team.
     
    MEASURES TAKEN:
    The match will be suspended until further notice, while representatives from both clubs discuss the situation, as well as allowing sport authorities to review the case, to see if further action will be taken.
    The preliminary review shows the actions of the home team supporters to be unacceptable, but also find actions by the visiting team to be provocative, and that the player from the visiting team that made the provocatory goal celebration knew the potential mesage they were sending to the home fans with said goal celebration.
    As per concrete action, the measure being currently considered is a fine towards the local team and the temporary suspension of the offender from the visiting team, any further action will be reported through official means in the next days.
     
     
    We apologize for the inconvinience, this is a necessary measure from the RFF to promote good sportsmanship and protect both players and supporters from both teams.

    A look into the league - Part 3, Matchdays 13-18.
     
    After a short animated introduction, the scene opens in the TVNC studio, with Liandre and Xiava already at the desk.
     
    [Liandre]: I don't think-
    [Xiava]: We should just start, he'll have a new excuse for us later.
    [Liandre]: Alright, good evening everybody! Its time for our third transmission of this little program we have running.
    [Xiava]: Lots of changes since last look, the table has been all over the place, yet the gap between the top 8 and the rest just keeps widening, but as it seems the top 8 themselves are having their own clash for the top 4 and bottom 4 spots.
    [Liandre]: That's probably the best way to put it, Rio Priava have lost their top spot after several draws, now Libre leads! Mytapixas after amaizing attacks have gotten the second spot, tied with Rio Priava, and Isportivo despite what many would say is proving to NOT be a "small" club in this competition!
    [Xiava]: There's a lot to cover so we should get started.
    [Liandre]: Well, like we already said, Priava lost the lead, they now have 15 wins and 4 draws, but they are still yet to lose a match, just like Libre who also haven't lost any matches yet and are now in the lead with an absolutley DEADLY attack! 48 goals!
    [Xiava]: Libre's and Mytapixas attacks are the best in the league so far, they are too fierce, and force their opponents on the defensive, which can help their own defenses rest and not get overwhealmed when the time to defend comes.
    [Liandre]: Lots of similarities between those two there, while Priava seek more possetion-focused play, rather than constantly applying pressure to their rivals, they spend a lot of time in the midfield, but it also seems to be working, despite the recent games.
    [Xiava]: Out of the top 4, id say Isportivo is the most balanced, but they still have an impressive ammount of goals.
    [Liandre]: They're not to be underestimated.
    [Xiava]: Now for the largest club here: Bixas! They have fortunatley rescued their season from the mediocre start, and as of far could get to the top 4.
    [Liandre]: Raquivas, Tsalapaní and Myvas round up the top 8! Tsalapaní and Myvas had mediocre starts but they managed their way into the top 8.
    Pablo bursts into the room hurrying for the chair before slipping on the floor and falling.
    [Pablo]: Im he- OW!
    [Liandre]: Well just what we needed Chuckle
    [Xiava]: Talk about an entrance...
    [Pablo]: Just shut up... What were you on about when i got here?
    [Liandre]: Taking the route down the hill, just exited the top 8, looking at the rest of the teams!
    [Pablo]: Oh alright.
    [Xiava]: Pinichaca and Obriros, are two clubs that for a while got into the top 8, they seem to be trying to get back.
    [Pablo]: Pinichaca plays decently, and obriros has a massive advantage with their stadium being so high up, they have a really large home advantage, but outside of their comfort zone they do struggle, and they only do few goals per game.
    [Liandre]: Behind them i think other notable clubs are Vynytiná, Qixas, and both of the U's having mediocre seasons.
    [Pablo]: Id say they're doing a decent job of staying on the mid-table and Vynitiná is making their way up, Qixas is starting to struggle.
    [Xiava]: Liarvas is on a rollercoaster down, while Liípica rescued points, as we now join the stands to view the relegation race!
    [Liandre]: Well, Ystiandes seems to have joined the race and after that, Carraizal has done the impossible, recovering from their terrible streak, now 2 spots above relegation! Under them Pinilaca hasn't been doing to well, and Garravas can only get draws, no wins so far, they are on the edge, as below them we enter the relegation zone, with Tirilpense trying as they may to get out of there!
    [Pablo]: And then... Ryxtylopiana, only 1 sad draw, if they dont pull a Carraizal they are going to the B.
    [Xiava]: Yeahhh, its going to be complicated for them.
    [Pablo]: And that rounds up the table so far! Now its time for goals, assists and saves!
     
    The Screen Changes to a table of the top goalscorers:
     
    Player Team Goals Scored Inzé Fransquixa Rio Priava 18 Rauíl Disquerravia Isportivo Ryxenia 17 Ezicaiel Barvas Mytapixas 17 Andreís Richava Bixas 16 Rauíl Disquiverria Libre 16 Andreís Dixilfane Mytapixas 15 Terado Irrasvasquia Bixas 14 Julian Firverria Isportivo Ryxenia 14 Ezicaiel Xiviscarra Raquivas 14 Julio Indrava Rio Priava 14  
    [Liandre]: Its amaizing how many of the scorers there are in the top 4 teams, again: Libre and Mytapixas have some of the best attacks so far, and so do Priava, Isportivo and Bixas in 5th place.
    [Pablo]: And i got a surprise for you, next time around this list wont be 10 long...
    [Xiava]: You don't mean?
    [Pablo]: Mhm, but that's until next time.
    [Liandre]: Well i can wait, but i have to say ill be on the lookout to see how many people get on that list.
    [Pablo]: Well its just one list, we can't forget about the assists!
     
    The Screen Changes to a table of the top assisters:
     
    Player Team Goals Assisted Andreís Yirapa Libre 25 Luque Pirrava Rio Priava 24 Lardo Armatez Bixas 23 Enrico Irrasvasquia Mytapixas 23 Andreís Irrestafica Isportivo Ryxenia 22 [Pablo]: A lot of tied players, that the list doesn't show, but it still gives you an idea, usually more goals also means more assists.
    [Liandre]: Mhm, you know a lot of theese players could make their way to other leagues, considering the top teams in the world usually already have good forwards and strikers, but ocationally lack other players.
    [Xiava]: That's true.
    [Pablo]: It is, still don't know where theese players might head off to.
    [Liandre]: Neither do i, but there's one last list we need to look at.
    [Pablo]: On it...
     
    Finally, the list of top goalkeepers shows up on screen:
     
    Player Team Saves Andreís Yirapa Tsalapaní 23 Isidro Darrias Raquivas 22 Marco Valandrés Bixas 20 Julian Xirvés Unydo di Vynitiná 18 Tincho Quilivixas Myvas 17  
    [Pablo]: Its interesting how its mainly tables from the mid-table that have the best performing GK's so far, but it makes sense when you start to consider how dominant the top table teams have been.
    [Liandre]: That Myvas-Raquivas game was REALLY intense! Goals and saves everywhere!
    [Xiava]: I got to watching it too, it was incredibly action-packed.
    [Pablo]: And how do you think the next 6 days will play out?
    [Liandre]: I see the battle in the top 4 continuing, so far its been a pretty intense one to see who can stay on top, whilst i personally will be paying more attention to the mid-table brawl.
    [Xiava]: Honestly i think we have our rough-ish order for which teams will go through, so its mostly the mid-table brawl and the relegation race for me, but its still going to be interesting.
    [Pablo]: Alright, well-
    [Liandre]: That's my line Pablo...
    [Pablo]: Come on let me end this on a high no-
    [Liandre]: AND THAT WILL BE ALL FOR NOW! As always thanks for watching our program and we'll all see you next time around where we'll have a few guests invited here!
    [Pablo]: Why are you like this.
     
    Finally the camera zooms away as Xiava and Liandre chuckle at Pablo's misfortune of never being able to arrive in time, as the transmission soon changes to ads.

    Yeah, barring really specific circumstances (meritorious expansion, such as when one becomes Delegate of TWP, or does an exceptional service to the community like UA in hosting sports RP), I can't ever recall a case of it being accepted during my time, and it most likely won't change.

    If you are seriously considering the idea of expansion, then be prepared to write a really detailed and well written storyline, with the reasons about the expansion, the costs to your nation and so on. It's also subject to approval by Loremasters of course.
    What I usually say in these cases is to remember that roleplay isn't about having more pixels on the map or a bigger number in the Big Book of Numbers, but to have fun storytelling, both on your own and as a community.

    Have you wanted to post in this event but couldn’t? Do you feel like you could add one or two more companies to your nation’s roster?

    Now’s your chance to make it real, with After Hours!

    After Hours will run from today 4/6, to next week, 4/13, 7AM EST. You’ll get to post whatever company you want, however there are two rules:

    You can’t exceed the company showing limit, so only one company per industry.
    This includes people who’ve posted for the main event already.

    You have to label which day the company would have appeared. Here's the original calendar from the main event.

    Here’s a format to make things standard:
    [Company Logo]
    [Name] [trade name or name used in advertising]
    Industry: [insert industry here], [the day it would best fit in*] *Either April 1, April 2, April 3, April 4, or April 5
    [Country of Origin]
    [Description]
    Description word count should be between 100 and 350 words (to reduce clutter). Add any pictures and logos you feel would show the company best. If the company was previously featured in an RP event, or a news event, feel free to link it in the post.
    Community-wide posting rules apply.

    Good luck and have fun guys. The main event had a great showing, so I’m excited to see what people think up for After Hours.

    Konsortio Intellegentie
    (Common: Consortium of Intelligence)
    Industry: Robotics & AI
    Country of Origin: Giovanniland
    Description: Konsortio Intellegentie (KI) is an association of several major companies in Giovanniland for the purpose of advancing the development of artificial intelligence in the nation and in Esferos. Participants include the aforementioned Tullerigno, other technology companies such as Abrentekno, Kybermente, and Ordinatro Technologies, as well as independent businesspeople and scientists experienced in the field of AI.
    KI was founded in 1405 after an unprecedented agreement between several Giovannilandian companies to form a consortium in the area of artificial intelligence, and devoted its early time to research in the field of deep learning. Building upon the research about AI that has been happening since the mid-14th century, KI was one of the pioneers in tasks such as better image recognition, natural language processing, and speech recognition through deep neural networks.
    Gaining prominence since the last decade with breakthrough advancements related to generative artificial intelligence and large language models, KI has now become a common name in Giovannilandians' lives through the development of its own generative chatbot Violeta and text-to-image model VisioArti. The current CEO, Filippo Sekundino-Lurtone, has overseen this massive growth in visibility for KI and in this exposition stated his ongoing projects. These include improving the systems that millions of users are now familiar with, expanding KI's international reach, and eventually developing a text-to-video model in the coming years.

    Loquanto
    Industry: Quantum Mechanics
    Country of Origin: Giovanniland
    Description: Loquanto is a company established in 1399 acting in the field of quantum communication, with the goal of creating faster and more secure communication systems through the applications of quantum mechanics. The company was founded by Vera Sebastiano Keler, while the current CEO is her son Gigero Keler Kalventio. Furthermore, the name is derived from the Giovannese words loqua (speech, communication) and quanto (quantum).
    The laws of quantum physics allow particles to simultaneously represent different states, a feature called superposition. The particles are called qubits, and often they are photons that can transmit data via optical cables. The interesting feature about superposition is that any tampering done by hackers disrupts this feature and leaves a sign of the activity. 
    Another interesting application is quantum teleportation, which is possible due to a phenomenon called entanglement, where changes in one particle can affect another particle instantaneously. The current challenge, of course, is finding ways to create large teleportation networks based on this property and then use them for real life purposes. Loquanto is still studying this on a smaller scale, but is optimistic about its future prospects.
    In simple terms, quantum communication offers several benefits over its traditional counterpart, for example better security and speed, as well as proofing against future computational advances. Loquanto seeks to collaborate with other like-minded companies across Esferos in the pursuit of ever-greater scientific and technological advancement.

    Emeria Lavanda
    (Common: Lavender Bank)
    Industry: Financial Services
    Country of Origin: Giovanniland
    Description: Emeria Lavanda is one of the largest banks in Giovanniland, with significant operations in the other Lavender Island countries of Blue Bubble and Minsu as well. The bank traces back its origins to the reign of Giovannian emperor Vittore I, who oversaw an era of maritime expeditions that reached as far as the other side of the Viatic Ocean. The emperor encouraged the establishment of trading posts in different continents, and the trade was facilitated by multiple institutions of merchants and moneylenders. One of them, called the Instituto Kommerki Lavandule (Common: Trading Institute of Lavandula) was established in the northern coastal city of Uryde in the year of 923, and around a century later, formally assumed the name of Emeria Lavanda that continues to the present day.
    Fast forward to more recent times, and Emeria Lavanda has certainly endured the test of time, having stayed in operation for centuries and adapting to the world economy's shifts such as industrialization and the technological revolution. The bank has been fundamental in increasing the financial sector's significance for the Giovannilandian economy, and today has grown into a major bank in Giovanniland and Lavender Island. Presently, around 8% of the national GDP comes from this sector, and Emeria Lavanda among other national banks has earned a reputation of having a very secure and technological system, alongside low taxes for money deposits.
    Augusto Emilio-Nyima, the current CEO since ten years ago, comes from a wealthy family in northern Giovanniland and has continued his predecessors' progress in leveraging the latest technologies to enhance customer experience. In this vein, Emeria Lavanda is also known in the nation for having the most user-friendly and feature-rich digital banking platform, and its use of AI to streamline various operations.

    (Lavandulan: འཕྲུལ་ལས་རིག་གནས)
    Industry: Technology
    Country of Origin: Giovanniland
    Description: Tullerigno is one of the best-known technology companies in Giovanniland, if not the best-known one. It was founded in Giovannia during the year of 1371, though its current headquarters are located in the nearby city of Vinikiano. The founder Dolkario Tarquino is a wealthy businessman born in the northern city of Quorivo, and took the company name from an adapted version of the Lavandulan word for technology. The current CEO of Tullerigno is Paulo Akerrone-Tuskenio, which has held the position since 1416 and is the third person in the position, following the founder Dolkario (1371-1398) and his successor Gioseppa Fausto Lodeno (1398-1416).
    Initially, the company focused on software development for the rising personal computer market, with a commitment to user-friendly design and cutting-edge functionality. Tullerigno became known to the world through its operating system Osello (འོད་གསལ, brilliance), which has become the preferred platform for a majority of Giovannilandian users and also gained a significant following internationally. In the following years, the company then focused on bringing regular updates to Osello, as well as developing its key applications such as office software and communication services.
    With the rise of the internet at the turn of the 15th century, the company continued developing its services in order to gain its place as one of the pioneers in this new era, a successful project best exemplified by the creation of the browser and search engine Essio (ཡེ་ཤེས་, wisdom). Essio is used by most devices in Giovanniland and many more throughout the world.
    In the current century, beyond its key successes, Tullerigno has focused on expanding into new horizons while ensuring that its flagship projects continue having regular new versions and updates, keeping up with the pace of digital innovation. Some of the new markets that Tullerigno has made its mark on during the last 20 years are gaming, social media, and cloud computing. Its electronic manufacturing division is also worthy of note, having launched a line of Tullerigno-branded computers and smartphones.

    Industry: Technology
    Country of Origin: Giovanniland
    Description: Tullerigno is one of the best-known technology companies in Giovanniland, if not the best-known one. It was founded in Giovannia during the year of 1371, though its current headquarters are located in the nearby city of Vinikiano. The founder Dolkario Tarquino is a wealthy businessman born in the northern city of Quorivo, and took the company name from an adapted version of the Lavandulan word for technology. The current CEO of Tullerigno is Paulo Akerrone-Tuskenio, which has held the position since 1416 and is the third person in the position, following the founder Dolkario (1371-1398) and his successor Gioseppa Fausto Lodeno (1398-1416).
    Initially, the company focused on software development for the rising personal computer market, with a commitment to user-friendly design and cutting-edge functionality. Tullerigno became known to the world through its operating system Osello (འོད་གསལ, brilliance), which has become the preferred platform for a majority of Giovannilandian users and also gained a significant following internationally. In the following years, the company then focused on bringing regular updates to Osello, as well as developing its key applications such as office software and communication services.
    With the rise of the internet at the turn of the 15th century, the company continued developing its services in order to gain its place as one of the pioneers in this new era, a successful project best exemplified by the creation of the browser and search engine Essio (ཡེ་ཤེས་, wisdom). Essio is used by most devices in Giovanniland and many more throughout the world.
    In the current century, beyond its key successes, Tullerigno has focused on expanding into new horizons while ensuring that its flagship projects continue having regular new versions and updates, keeping up with the pace of digital innovation. Some of the new markets that Tullerigno has made its mark on during the last 20 years are gaming, social media, and cloud computing. Its electronic manufacturing division is also worthy of note, having launched a line of Tullerigno-branded computers and smartphones.

    Emeria Lavanda
    (Common: Lavender Bank)
    Industry: Financial Services
    Country of Origin: Giovanniland
    Description: Emeria Lavanda is one of the largest banks in Giovanniland, with significant operations in the other Lavender Island countries of Blue Bubble and Minsu as well. The bank traces back its origins to the reign of Giovannian emperor Vittore I, who oversaw an era of maritime expeditions that reached as far as the other side of the Viatic Ocean. The emperor encouraged the establishment of trading posts in different continents, and the trade was facilitated by multiple institutions of merchants and moneylenders. One of them, called the Instituto Kommerki Lavandule (Common: Trading Institute of Lavandula) was established in the northern coastal city of Uryde in the year of 923, and around a century later, formally assumed the name of Emeria Lavanda that continues to the present day.
    Fast forward to more recent times, and Emeria Lavanda has certainly endured the test of time, having stayed in operation for centuries and adapting to the world economy's shifts such as industrialization and the technological revolution. The bank has been fundamental in increasing the financial sector's significance for the Giovannilandian economy, and today has grown into a major bank in Giovanniland and Lavender Island. Presently, around 8% of the national GDP comes from this sector, and Emeria Lavanda among other national banks has earned a reputation of having a very secure and technological system, alongside low taxes for money deposits.
    Augusto Emilio-Nyima, the current CEO since ten years ago, comes from a wealthy family in northern Giovanniland and has continued his predecessors' progress in leveraging the latest technologies to enhance customer experience. In this vein, Emeria Lavanda is also known in the nation for having the most user-friendly and feature-rich digital banking platform, and its use of AI to streamline various operations.
