840 AD
The Axis has been completed and with it, a new dominant alliance in the world has been formed. Composed of the glorious Zulu, Mali and Chinese nations, the Axis is un-rivaled both diplomatically and militarily.

Shareef of the Mali is both a glorious diplomat and general. He almost single handedly brought order to the world at Prometheus City. While Shakeems blood boiled in frustration throughout the conference, Shareef stayed cool and achieved a peaceful end to the current conflict. His leadership and patience saved the world from what could have potentially been a massive world war. The Mali boast the most cities and military units on the planet and are un-rivaled in their navy.

Prometheus and the Chinese add a much needed ally from the East to the Axis. China has been striving since Prometheus's rise to power. At one time the Chinese were the scourge of the world, and now look where they are! They hold valuable land in the New World and provide the much needed Asian foothold that the Alliance will need to remain strong. The Chinese are the fastest growing nation on the planet and are coming into their own as a major player.

Shakeem and his Zulus are still the most potent country in the world and will become even moreso in the coming years. A massive Cathedral is slated to be built in Cape Town. This Cathedral will hopefully bring peace and happiness to all Zulus on the African continent. This will allow cities to increase their productivity, which has been slowed due to happiness problems. Also, the large group of settlers that have been working on the massive Zulu infastructure will soon be establishing new colonies. Very soon a caravan will arrive in China and the Zulus will establish a new trade route with the Chinese. With this trade, the Zulus expect that they are the first Nation in the world to have successfully set up trade routes with all other nations. Though we cannot confirm this, we are still very proud of this coming event regardless. In the coming years, Shakeem is planning to divert his resources towards building his military and towards re-inforcing his glorious trade routes. The trade has treated him well to this point and the Zulus have become quite wealthy because of it.

All in all, the players in the Axis Alliance are un-rivaled by the quite modest in comparison, Pacific Pact. At Prometheus City a new tone for the world was set. The Pacific Allies yielded to the will of the Axis. The Axis is now in the drivers seat.

Former explorer and worldly traveller, Rashi Kali has been reassigned to act as a border guard on the newly proposed Mongol/AL border. He will walk the neutral zone between the two nations and will report directly to the axis if he sees that the agreed upon neutral zone is violated. Immediate action will be taken in this event..............

The Zulus have been plateauing for quite some time now, but look out world, the Zulu Nation will be turing a very big corner very soon!
