A Warning against Large Nations

On the 24th of June, a moderator of the Association of Eldham States, unadequated, sent out a warning on #eldham-national-announcements, which was directed towards large nations in Eldham and expansion. The message read as follows:

"A PSA from the AES

A warning against large nations.

''In the early days of Rathnir, there were many nations and not one had complete control of any continent. Fast forward several months and the entire world of Rathnir was nearly entirely ruled by continent spanning imperialistic nations. Few nations with smaller territories remained and there was nowhere for new players to make a name for themselves.''

''Then Eldham came along, offering space to new players to build new legacies, far from the tyranny of the old world. Yet, the old world came with us, and we can see that in the recent forming of larger nations (i.e. The Southern Stars, Maximus, The Regnum Drakaes, and The Forge). If we continue along a path like this, we may end up repeating history. We've already seen firsthand the destruction of Ellysia, old largest nation in Eldham, and I'm sure no one wants a repeat of what happened then.''

''This is not a denouncement at these larger nations, in fact I do admire these nations for what they have achieved, but rather a warning of what the future of Eldham may hold. I ask that larger nations not expand further as to allow the formation of smaller, newer nations. Thank you."''

A few large nations including Maximus and The Forge clarified later that their nations expanded peacefully, and The Southern Stars clarified that it wasn't really a nation, more of a commonwealth.
