(This is my first go at a nation story. So if anyone has any comments on it don't hesitate to post 'em here! Thanks)

The sky was black over Trixia City this day, mainly due to the fact it was night, but all the same there was a feeliing that not all things were going to go well for Trixia over the next few days.

Rain hit the windows and a gale cut up the air. Trix, Lord Imperial of all Trixia, sat on his throne, thinking of his nation.

I have ruled here since the beginning, my empire ruling fairly over its people and only fightings wars when the cause is just. I have done nothing wrong that i can see, but still i feel as though i am loosing grip on my nation, i can feel it slipping through my fingers...

Trix was taken from his thought by his butler, Jones.

"Sir, a moment of you time"

"Of course old friend, come and sit"

"I would love to milord, but it is not me who wishes an audience"

"Oh? Then who?"

"A Mr Himler sir"

"Show him in"

A tall man dressed in black came into the room, he bowed to Trix.

"No need for formalities, what is your business?"

"I come her to warn you Trix"

"Warn me? Of what?"

"Of a terrible evil that will rock trixia's very foundations"

No! This cannot be true!? He's just a madman...but what if he isn't?

"Is someone plotting to have me overthrowm?"

"I cannot say, for i do not know, but you must be prepared, mentally and physically, for the challenges that lay ahead my lord"

"I thankyou Hilmer"

"My lord" And with that he left the throne room. And Trix went a collapsed on his throne.

My nation is plotting to get rid of me? What have i done!?! I have failed my nation.

"Jones, do you know what this means?"

"We're in trouble milord"

"Yes, yes it does.."

Meanwhile in a tavern in Trixia city's more dark parts. A group are discussing the very thing Trix is fearing..

"For to long he has oppresed us! He must be overthrown!"

"Yes! He hates us unemployed! Down with him!"

But luckly for Trix, this conversation is just between two drunks on the dole who don't like Trixia's national dislike of tax-payer drainers.

No, the conversation about Trix's fears i happening on the table next to the drunks..

"Trix has tried his best but he cannot extract the revenge he wants to due to international image, hes is trapped in the 'nice nation' setting. Its not fair on him!"

"I agree Finch, individuals and sometimes entire nations have discredited him and humiliated him. And he is powerless to stop them, all due to the fact no one saw the first punch"

"A very true metaphor Blake, i feel for our leader, so trapped against retaliation, tis not just"

The leader, Blake, rose up from his chair.

"Come my friends, there is much work to be done.."

And the trio left the tevern, leaving only the drunks and their little squabble.

Trix now sat in a boarding room, surrounded by officials and leaders of trixia.

"Trix we must put more money into social welfare, they hate us!"

"No, there will be no money put into the no-workers, they will find jobs, god theres enough of them out here, they just have to look"

"But still Trix, we do need to put money into Trixia"

"I know Brent, but i fear we have no money to give, a few corrupt officials take over for a while and now we have a ruin economy! So to compensate we make economy choices at the expence of welfare, i hate it just as much as you. But what are we to do?!?"

"I do not know milord"

"Exactly! No one does!"

Trix slammed his fist on the table.

What is going on!

---And we're back to the bad guys...---

"Ok, we must start by making a list of all the nations that have been evil to Trix, and make them pay... "

"Yes, yes, lets start.."

They got a pen and paper and sat down at a table.

"Erm... Blake?"

" Yes Finch?"

"Whos on the list then..?"

They sat for a moment...

"Gimme a sec.."

OOC: Its a very nice story thus far... if you are having trouble looking for nations that have "dishonored" Trix then you can include Esamopia. Although we've never actually done anything, you may use us as an example... it should be fun.

Cannot wait to see what happens next...

Blake sat typing away at a computer screen, and he soon brought up a list of nations.

Finch walked over and looked at the screen.

[code:1:47d0a86700]
Nations:

Melkor Unchained
Western Might
Russix
The Imperial Legion
Metalixia
........... [/code:1:47d0a86700]

This list continued for quite a while, ending in.

[code:1:47d0a86700]
.......
Esamopia [/code:1:47d0a86700]

Finch looked up at Blake.

"Crikey.."

"Yer, Crikey..."

"This... Esamopia... what did they do?"

"Well as opposed to Melkor and Western Might, who we had wars against, Esamopia's leader, [leader name], tricked Trix into losing vast sums of money, it's one of the reasons our economy is doing so badly. Trix trusted him totally, and he aboused that trust"

"Oh"

"But he is not the first we will deal with, there are other, more important nations that must be dealt with first"

Unfortunately our great leader, Premier Esam (of Esamopia, heh!) was recently overthrown when Esamopia was invaded. We are still wobbly on the issue of leaders, but I can have the old Minister of Finances survive and serve on the new administration... his pic and name will be sent soon.
