The Impexis Regnum has been renamed to The Impexis Magirusa
Here’s its flag
I almost read that as “Magius”

I’m currently in the process of colouring the map by country (so that each country has a unique colour to identify territory) and its really ugly but I guess that’s too be expected. Might try to do a four-colour map though at some point although perhaps doing five or six colours would be easier.
The Great Republic of the Stamstani Province was the second largest country in the Itherïl Rejürer (Impexi: Iferiskavsa Ner’Gemiksoaf, Stamstani: Nar Iferilgen) - the lands at the north of Hêyth Rejüsis - for a few hundred years until 1017 when it was destroyed completely by a powerful weapon in a great war.
It was one of the first democratic nations in the world. In 1010 it had five major political parties operating across all three chambers of its parliament.
From smallest to largest these were:
I am watching this with great interest
(also I must ask, what are you using to make the political parties and parliament diagram?)

The diagram maker was just a thing I found online, you can download SVG file from it but the forum doesn’t support them I think.
The political party info was screenshots from my note taking app. There’s definitely more wordlbuilding-oriented apps people have made which are really similar to this but Obsidian is as basic or as complex as you make it.
These are the plugins I use although in terms of appearance only Style Settings matters as it integrates with the theme I’m using
And I use a customised version of the ITS theme since it lets me create stuff like info boxes (and a load more, but I haven’t checked everything out)

Pǎdaesêri
Pǎdaesêri is the name of the currency issued by the Grand Courts for the commissioning of bounties. They are provided in rectangular tokens usually made of silver, or a silver alloy and each pǎdaesêri is generally worth the equivalent to enough to comfortably live for a month. They were designed chiefly for ease of transport and carry by bounty hunters on the move.
The use of soft metals in the currency allows the cutting of metal off the tokens to trade in smaller quantities. The front of a pǎdaesêri is printed with the minting date and original weight, as well as the stamp of the Grand Courts and composition of the metal.
My thought process behind these was actually tea! These are inspired by tea-bricks which were used as currency in some parts of the world. I wanted something that could be universally valuable for bounty hunters and also compact enough to carry on you.
If you’ve played any of my wacky forum games (VoT in particular) you might know I’m a fan of puzzles and codes and stuff like that. I won’t put too much about this here because that’s no fun if I ever end up wanting to make a puzzle using this but I’ve developed a simple cipher that was made in world by a woman called Bétrice Aurdela Moersius.
The basis of the encryption uses a shared known book called a ‘keybook’ and a phrase or extract from that book as a key. Each character in the plaintext and key is translated into a base-3 code and the two codes are combined and translated back into text to provide the ciphertext. To decrypt the message you instead subtract the key-codes.
Here’s a snippet of ciphertext, which was encrypted from a website that hosted translations of The Odyssey and The Iliad. The plaintext here was a paragraph explaining the translation of the former and the key was the same for the latter.
I think I’ve identified a pretty major flaw in this encryption method though and that’s that spaces within either the plaintext or key don’t encrypt anything and instead returns the other character. This means that where ever there’s space in the ciphertext, both the key and the plaintext must have had a space in that position.
Actually, I was wrong. Where there’s a space in the ciphertext it’s likely that both the key and the plaintext had a space in that position from what I’ve seen so far but not guaranteed.
working on a script for the language impexi. Tried my best to do it with the mouse, this is Akos’ current full name and title (House name is subject to change).
This reminded me yet again that I havent posted my worldbuilding writing to my own thread lol

there’s some polishing going on with my latin transcriptions so idk if u exists lol. The Impexis houses will change to have Impexi names at some point rather than english ones.
Family Tree of House Aurdela Moersius
For a country I don’t have a name of yet
‘é’ is pronounced ‘ay’ so Bétrice is ‘Baytrice’
There’s been no updates for a while since I’ve been busy preparing for exams and spending my free ‘writing motivated’ time working on a certain next Forum Curses…
And although I haven’t been doing any writing, I have been messing about with Obsidian and I’m starting to delve a bit deeper into the tools it gives you. Currently playing with properties, allowing me to organise my tags and info better, callouts (with templates as well) which allow me to add warnings and notes to my pages to keep me on my toes, and footnotes, which allow me to add additional detail to parts of my notes so I can keep it nicely formatted.
One of my irl writer friends recommended obsidian to me too so im gonna try it out as well

word nonsense
The House of Frost has been renamed to the House of Ifefiresan
This name is based on the word for frost in Impexi. (It might change again, I’m considering it.
I have now worked out the noble titling system for the Impexis Magirusa. Noble families are defined by the ownership of a large amount of land that has been passed on through the family for generations.
There are three ranks of non-royal nobles:
Faresonsa (Lowest of the ranks, usually in control of one large estate and the lands surrounding it, I’d translate to ‘Baron’)
Zeresasa (In control of multiple estates or one really large one and the lands surrounding it, I’d translate to ‘Earl’ or ‘Viscount’)
Margerasa (In control of multiple large estates, large portions of land and often times their own militia forces, I’d translate to ‘Marquess’ especially as these lands often lay at borders).
Members of a noble family who are the heir to an estate are titled Arnoso XXX meaning ‘Heir’.
Members of a noble family (over the age of 25) who are not in control of an estate directly are titled Malakeoso (Lord or Lady)
Members of a noble family below the age of 25 are titled Melenzaa
Members of a noble family who have been restricted from ever being a candidate for succeeding the ownership of an estate (for example, being an illegitimate child) retain the title Marso.
Members of a noble family who have a military rank are titled Malakeoso XXX (Where XXX is their rank).
There’s also other rules for members of the royal family and those who have other titles for whatever reason.
It is kinda convoluted but here’s some more examples (which are equally convoluted):
N Maginarsa Ov’Ifefireso Akos Dari Naruvs Ifefiresan
(His Majesty Prince of Frost [Military Rank] Akos Dari Ifefiresan)
N Narvulsa Ledus Cezare Kalmes Naruvs Ifefiresan
(His Majesty King Ledus Cezare Kalmes Ifefiresan)
N Malakeoso Diserndaso Matthew Hoord Davascoa, N Zeresasa Eus’Davascoa Pultretoery
(Lord General Matthew Hoord Davascoa, (Earl) Of the Davascoa Estates)
most military ranks are still in progress
coming up with some ideas for the Impexis military uniforms, I can specify what any of these regiments or units are if you’re interested (I’ve got probably more than 50 of them in total, only a few are mentioned here)!
There are gonna be 12 (probably) uniform standards for different levels of formality and use purposes.
This is the design for the most formal uniform standard, being the N1 Officer’s Full Dress. This is used by only the highest rank, richest of officers for ceremonial purposes. Most rich families have a bird that they use as a sort of emblem, and a lot of the military regiments do as well, hence the mention of them at the end of this.
N1 Officer’s Full Dress
Usually a (two-toned) Cloak 3, epaulettes, aiguillettes and a bicorne hat, with full decorations. The colour of the uniform is usually based on the specific branch of the military that the officer is from.
Black - Mere Vi, Stamstani Guard, Royal Family (Monarch, and Maginarsa Ov’Ifefireso [Prince/Princess of Frost])
Dark Navy Blue - The Marshalling Council, most regiments of the military.
Dark Green - Only the 400th, 404th 410th, 414th regiments.
Lighter Navy - 313th
Dark Yellow - 211th, 515th
Dark Red - 305th
Dark Grey - All Naval Personnel
Lighter/Medium Grey - Royal Guard
White - Sanrisso, Royal Family (2nd In Command)
Other colours on the uniform are regiment-specific.
Traditionally the hat is decorated with a feather, oftentimes from the bird of the officer’s family or regiment. As in Impexis tradition, it is bad luck to kill a bird for its feather, so this must be collected naturally or from the bird’s nest.
Cloak 3: Full Cloak Wraps around body and covers back and shoulders while leaving. A high class cloak used by officers and marshals in dress uniforms.
