Ancient Combat Roleplay?

This is a design I've had in my head for a while, as the host and adminstrator and used to be active player of a modern war role play, and I've decided to go foward in it.

The idea is to have a roleplay of the world in 400 B.C.E., including Europe, Asia and Africa, with all the realities of the time - limited knowledge of the world (although this would obviously change as players develope their nations further and differently than it did historically). Players would start out in the historical perspective (as much as possible, as the nations won't be all too accurate, and their population less, to make the roleplay work) and then, as stated above, developed throughout the game. Roleplaying (in the 3rd person perspective) would include politics, nation developement, army development, battles, barter, etc,etc. Those who have played NationStates would have an idea.

Nations of the world that I think are sufficient are:


Nation's Name : [Population]

NOTE/b] Populations are in NO way accurate and are not designed to be so - names are also generalized into areas and people - not individual tribes. However, as you start your game, if you choose a historically disunited people that is how you should begin the roleplay.

I'd like to play the Nordic tribes. Failing that the Macedonians or Celtiberians might be nice. Those are regions I at least know a little bit about.
