"Viva Mercatorii"
------------------------------------------
It is fair to claim that one people deserve not to have proper representation in the books of history? Though many disagree, it is commonplace to see those who do not earn their rights to be remembered by all except their most holy Father and Mother. As it stands currently, many have already fallen to the dustbin of history, time, and conflict in where the genocide of their existence occurs. That be either in the span of centuries, or several short miserable decades in where you must spend every day looking behind your back, moving camp, ambush, repeat. However, this was reality for the Mercatorii People, though one may claim it to be depressed and fruitless, as it seems yet we still cling to the side of memory.
However, I argue, a people whom when outnumbered 10 to 1, still manage to emerge victoriously, should not be forgotten, should not assimilate into the colonialists that have kept the boot upon our neck for as long as I can remember. Yet it is not only the colonizer, yet the born-traitors among us, who would rather make peace with those who
have slaughtered us for years on end with no stop, who have conscripted us, used us. The Ethnic-Colonizer, those who are not born by Mercatorii blood, and the Born-Colonizer, those who have been born into a Colonized Mercatorii Family, or whom betray their people for the Colonizer are both equally as despicable as one another.
The Blood-Pagan is another plague upon the world, in where one cannot help their misguided ways, and as a result, must be put to the sword in order for God and Mother to guide them properly. However, even in the sorry state of Mercatorii affairs, in where we are hardly able to have our voice heard, in where only traitors and the muck are able to speak for us true-blooded Mercatorii, we're limited to hoping one day the traitor does not completely turn their back onto their people, though that is to be argued that they already have.

Our Modern History
------------------------------------------
Ibilbide Handia
The Mercatorii Wars of Liberation, otherwise known as the Great Trail, where the consecutive period of time in which our great kin was embroiled in an impossible war, however, even then our superior blood was what assisted in the arguable victory of our forefathers and at the behest of Mother the slaughter of the Colonizer and his pawns.
The first Trail was started when the, at the time, ISA enlisted, Alekseii ein Ariskiy and several of his blood-brothers defected and started the Most Noble Army of Mercatorii Republicanism and Homeland, otherwise known as the Mercatorii Republican Army, MRA, and inited the Great Trail, in where the liberal and progressives or the cesspool of Providence City felt the wrath of the blade, bomb, and dagger, as the ranks swelled with national pride of the future Mercatorii Nation, the heart of the corruption of Colonialist and Liberalism of the Old "Holy" Orenian Empire, was burnt to ashes, and God and Mother smiled on the Republican Fighters that day.
Alekseii would take the title of "Handia" from that point onward, and with that, Mercatorii Nationalism at heart, the campaign of terror continued upon the Colonizer. This was however, until the disappearance of Handia Alekseii Ein Ariskiy, with his brother taking leadership upon himself.
This would continue until several Liberal Raids upon Noble MRA stronghold, no doubt caused by born-colonizers betraying the National Cause, leading to a decline of mainstream MRA activity for the time. The Second Trail would come in where upon the declaration of war upon the Colonizer by the Pagans in the North. The MRA in the hands of Milo Ein Klause, pure-blooded Mercatorii and follower of the ways of Alekseii.
Handia Milo and Markus Sesslen both being partly of Ein Ariskiy blood, followed proper Mercatorii culture and expanded the Worship of the St. Mother Mercatore during this period. However, even after helping the Colonizer in their own war, the Mercatore was stabbed in the back, our people once more attempted to be cast to the side, however, our superior blood gripped to the cliffside we where thrown off, even when our fingernails peeled off we held until a secondary savior came, and took our hand.
Prüsian Ksiæzect, otherwise known as 'Adreilua,' while operating as an agent in the Partisan Guard, before heading it during the Nothern War, took hold of the MRA, taking the mantel of Handia upon himself as Milo and Markus were allowed to finally rest. Handia Adreulua launched the Third War of the Liberation, with Veterans of the Pagan Cleansing as his general staff, and possibly one of the greatest military tacticians, Field Marshal Rokossovsky at the head of his campaign, he brought upon the Third and Great Trail to the Mercatorii people. Outnumbered in every ambush, every battle, every inch of conflict, Field Marshal Rokossovsky and Handia Adreulua secured victory after victory against the Colonialist enforcers, Soldiers, and Knights.
With Victory secured, however, infighting quickly took form, with the Radical Liberals and Colonialist Traitors quickly forming together in order to stop Handia Adreulua from completing his final plans. And with that, the end of any hope to a modern Mercatorii Nation.

GURE ETORKIZUNA
------------------------------------------
The Great Trail is not yet lost, and the dream of proper Bizitzeko Espazioa, a proper Free State, is still in reach. The dream is not yet dead, as long as a singular drop of proper and pure Mercatorii blood flows in the veins of a single individual it is not yet dead. The Blooded soil of the land we gave life and limb for is out there, yet now, it is harder to find. With Recent Changes to the Orenian Empire, it has appeared now that perhaps it is once a fit land for those of proper blood to reside, though, that is still to decide once seen. The liberals and progressives having been banished, and the old ways returning, it is yet to be seen if the Orenian Empire will recognize the Mercatorii as a people with voices worth hearing. Perhaps now does the Great Trail stop in its bloodshed, with a diplomatic solution? That is if the Orenian people are now no longer polluted with progressivism, centralist, and ceased breading with lessers. However, as seen, the people of Oren have finally adopted a proper manner of government. It is hopefully for future Bizitzeko Espazioa.

Du Txikiagoek
------------------------------------------
The Txikiagoek, Lessers, or lesser peoples are one that is plentifully, and oft-seen, sadly. Though, one may be confused about the Txikiagoek.
The Txikiagoek are not all non-humanic races and are also some humanic peoples.
A list of;
-The Iratxoak, otherwise known as Elves, are complete and utter Txikiagoek, with no short of doubt are perhaps the most barbarically stupid of the Txikiagoek. They live forever, and sink their influence globally, polluting the gene pool, and slowly climbing their way in an attempt to dominate the world thru their everlasting lives in order to manipulate the proper Sons of Horen.
-The Orkoa, Orcs, are no doubt Txikiagoek, however, have their uses, as long as they do not pollute with man. Though, it seems that Pagans enjoy ******* them. A disgrace. They fight well, yes, but should not bear the children of Man. The Orkoa use slavery, or at least used to. This I have no problem with, as long as it is not a Son of Horen in the shackle.
-I believe, the Ipotxak, Dwarves, are not at all Txikiagoek, they not only strongly resemble man, are incredibly gifted in their ability to create machinery, alongside being very skilled fighters. They are not Txikiagoek, and should be treated as equal to men.
-The Iparraldekoa and Paganoa, Northern and Pagan are both born inferior, in blood and belief. They can be human, and inbreed, either way, they should be treated in the same manner as any Txikiagoek.

So, what is the Mercatorii's purpose? It is to be apart, a voice that is heard, in a United Humanity, with our Free State, our Bizitzeko Espazioa secured, and our Free Rights instated.
Mercatorii Blood must cooperate with Good Cannonist Blood. We must be heard, and we must be helpful to our own and others.

VIVA MERCATORE, AND MAY ALEKSEII RETURN TO US.
------------------------
In recent months, I can recall three settlement applications that all caught my eye, so you know, I gave them an upvote, said good luck, and was hopeful that the staff would accept them. All three, which had builds and already and amassed player bases, were all turned down and denied. These three were: The Barony of Arenisca. The Principality of Sedan. The Papal Duchy of Atrus. Now, if you read at least two of these (I read three, so I'm special) you'd realize that these are all Cannonist and monarchistic in some way. I'm not trying to make up conspiracy theories that the staff hates Cannonism and are hardcore subs to the r/atheism, who also watch Rick & Morty in the Secret Admin Chat (TM). The secret council that decides your communities fate, if-or-if-not, you'll get that nation you've worked so hard on to get, is a thing, and it does shoot down settlement applications for the reason of being Cannonist. I've asked and seen first hand about Sedan and Arenisca, (I could not get in contact with the original accplicant for Atrus, however I don't think its hard to believe that their fate was in line with the prior two) their applications were both denied due to them being Cannonist and/or Militarist, causing them to be "unoriginal," or "wouldn't lead to unique roleplay." I think myself, and many others would disagree with both these claims. Cannonism itself leads to unique and interesting roleplay that varies strongly from where it is based, and for there to be more settlements/nations of which are Cannonist would increase those variations. This isn't a huge post, but I don't think it needs to be either. Its an issue that I've noticed, and it affects the people in a community of thinking that I, and my friends who I came to LotC with, were a part of. People who wanted their own settlement or nation, and it sucks to see people who continue that desire, get shot down, just in general, but I'm getting ahead of myself. Allow these people to have their settlements. It's just more fun, they've worked hard for them. Having more nations would be a better experience, it would give us that unique roleplay that you say they lack. They give another reason for some applications, "they can find land somewhere else," or that they don't need an independent state, they become a vassal. A counterpoint, becoming a vassal is not nearly as close as an independent city, state, etc. And most nations have an incredibly lengthy process to become a vassal, expect for that one place ruled by short man syndrome. Savoy takes time, as does Haense, Oren didn't even have vassals for a while, and Im sure now its hard to become one. Its hard, and some people don't want an overlord. I think that the Kingdom or Duchy or Whatever or Roza is a good example of why we shouldn't care about nations failing, if thats a concern, due to "lack of originality" not bringing in players, or enough to keep it alive. Roza existed, produced rp, good rp for myself when I was with Savoy during Osin's Rebellion, it was fun, and then it died, was removed, and now we have the fallout of them making good rp in other nations.
