A Little bit of History

The People's Empire of Mussleburgh has been around since 1605 and at it's greatest height encompassed all of Western Russia, Sweden,Finland,Norway and Romania. Then in 1750 it came to an end with the country falling into revolution it was at this time that Toopaxia declared itself independent and Norway was invaded by Alversia. In 1800 the Tsar was executed and a new King instated. The Peoples Empire of Mussleburgh has gone through a rapid redevelopmont since then and is now looking at expanding it's empire. Mussleburgh is reativly peaceful and has not been in a war with a Foreign powerful nation in a long time.

I am against slavery in my own nation but my country has a tiny pop if I don't sell slaves then I won't make much money.

Looks good Mussleburgh. If you're done with your navy part I can put your factbook up and you can get started.

[ What I'm curious about is how you justify abolishing slavery, while at the same time making use of slaves in your Army. ]
