Nations are the best way to take control of the Imperator world. They are usually clusters of towns that band together for extra security, better hierarchical systems, and strength.

Prerequisites to making a nation

There are no requirements to being able to create a nation! All you have to do is type /nation create. However, your nation will be considered a proto-nation until you have at least 3 players in it.

What is a proto-nation?

A proto-nation is simply a nation with many limitations (almost a glorified town). Proto-nations can also be annexed peacefully after the nation grace period is over, unlike real functioning nations.

The grace period

The grace period of a nation lasts for 7 real life days after the date of founding. After that, the nation may attack other nations, can get attacked by other nations, or can be annexed by other nations if it is still a proto-nation.
