Dear fellow citizens of Estherland,

As everything on steam keeps rolling, The Principality Of Estherland cannot stay neutral forever if an important part of the group, a very fare ally, is in danger. Today, 17/5, Estherland joined King William's alliance against the Prince Of Rome. As a member of Estherland, you don't have to fight (according to Estherland's laws if it is not our war but an ally's war, it is optional if you fight or not, and you will not be considered as a traitor in any case)

Your Prince,
Nick Of Estherland

Due to some offending comments and to the general turn of events as far as the history of the Steam empires is concerned, I decided to give a stronger and more ambitius profile to Estherland and myself. The emblems and main cause ('living' in steam with dignity and equality and protecting our rights for freedom) remain the same, but the profile images of the group and me have changed. The picture of the group's profile shows how Estherland is.
I will also take measures to "CLEAN" ESTHERLAND FROM ADMINS and noble persons THAT DON'T RESPOND TO THEIR DUTY anymore. The next days changes will be made. The sure admins to keep are: King Leonidas, King William, jbenedict and myself.
The rest of the admins, the diplomat and the secretary of war should contact me if they want to keep their titles. On Monday I will see who contacted me.
Please leave a comment with your opinion below.
Your Prince,
Nick Of Estherland.

As most of you know, these days the strongest empires of Steam are sharing the world map, and Estherland got its piece too. The two most eligible treaties are:

~ The Nova Terra Treaty: "numerous groups of the roleplaying steam community have collaborated with one another to formulate a new enhanced treaty that will insure the perpetual stability moreover enjoyment that the NTW/ETW role-playing community has come to expect." Members: Empire Total War the French Empire, The E.M.P.I.R.E., Empire Total War the Portuguese Empire, The Republic of Cuba, Empire of Bohemia, Empire Total War The Spanish Empire, New Empire, Kingdom of England, The Imperial Russian Empire, Empire Total War The Ottoman Empire, Estherland, Japan: Total War, The State of Venice. (According to this treaty, Estherland is geographically defined in Serbia and Bulgaria. The map: http://i787.photobucket.com/albums/yy159/Napoleon-III/BlankMap-World-WWI.png )

~ Utopia: "This is Utopia. This is our world. [...] Utopia has been created and it is made of the mightiest of nations. The following nations are members of the Utopian world." Members: United States of Americans, NATO, Brittany, Estherland, Free States, Republic of Samoa. (According to this treaty Estherland is geographically defined in The Netherlands. The map: http://i938.photobucket.com/albums/ad223/PresidentofAmerica/Worldmap-2.jpg )

As you see Estherland is defined in 2 different places... We are nagotiating and I am trying my best so that both treaties aknowledge Estherland in Holland.
As we Greek say: "I have still an ace hidden in my sleeve"...

Today, May 5, Estherland joined Utopia. Utopia is a treaty sharing the world between groups like the Nova Terra Treaty. Since either of the two treaties has as a rule that we can't join other treaties, I take it for granted that it is acceptable, so Estherland has its part in the world of Utopia.

Estherland signed and is a member of the Treaty Of Nova Terra. The New world is hosting Estherland in the eastern part of Europe (for now). Hail to Estherland and its allies!
