New Nation Founded
Goat Farmer Leads Nomadic People to Nationhood

With the opening of Terra Nova in February, existing nations claimed vast tracts of land and spread their boundaries across the landscape. Many saw the new land as virgin territory waiting to be conquered. Unbeknownst to these conquestidors however were the nomadic peoples that traversed the untamed territories.

When the Phoenix Confederacy carved up the territory reserved from the Riksholm Treaty, Kamograd was handed pieces of land which contained a few of these nomadic peoples. While most tribes simply fled further into the hinterland, one tribe stayed and decided not to fight for independence, but to negotiate instead.

In their first meeting, the President of Kamograd and the chiefman of the Nemanjai tribe managed to overcome insurmountable hurdles as Kamograd agreed to grant the Nemanjai people their own nation. A few meetings were held thenceforth but the agreement remained solid. The next hurdle to be cleared was approval from Congressional Parliament for international recognition of nationhood.

After prolonged discussion, partly due to bureaucratic red tape and partly due to physical renovations to the Parliament in Marcusburg, the Secretary-General gave formal assent to a report from the Congressional Agency for Accession (CAA) pertaining to the establishment of a Nemanjai nation on April 20, 2001.

When news reached the chiefsman, also a local goat farmer, the tribe was overjoyed. The first order of work for the new nation is to find a name and acquire funds, as Congressional Parliament postponed judgement on accession funding to findings from a later report by the CAA due sometime before June. The new Nemanjai nation has an application to join the Phoenix Confederacy, submitted by Kamograd. The application is pending but experts are sure of its approval.
