OOC: Hey, this is my first attempt at any sort of story. I don't really know how unclaimed areas are usually thought of but I'm assuming the area around my nation is composed of small tribes. For a little backstory, the Khaals were one of these tribes and two brothers, Elric and Aldrien, travelled around the world learning about other nation's governments and whatnot. They came back and used what they learned to expand their territory, and that's basically how the United Socialist Provinces of Khaalias formed.
Lord-General Elric Direnni of the 1st Khaalanese Legion looked around the battlefield and sighed. Three years ago, neither him nor any of his men had any experience in fighting in anything bigger than short skirmishes. The Khaals had long lacked an army, or any sort of government organized on more than a local level, but with brothers Aldrien and Elric's now legendary journey throughout the world that had changed. This battle saw the destruction of one of the strongest tribes in the immediate area, and the Khaal's small nation was now secure. Elric looked over his map, trying to decide where to head next. To the south were only cold weather and the colony of what could become a dangerous enemy if not handled correctly so Elric turned to his men and gave the order to head north.
