Republic of Nassau

The Republic of Nassau is a playable faction that can be unlocked at level 10. This faction was founded after the Nassau Rebellions during the Nova Balreskan - Burkeland Conflict.

Founding of Nassau Edit
The islands of Harrisburg and Salem had rebelled against their original rule by Burkeland and claimed loyalty to Nova Balreska. The battle between these two factions sparked by this conflict is still going on to this day. Apparently, Harrisburg and Salem set the standard and the people of Nassau decided to start their own rebellion against their ruler of Whitecrest. Only instead of pledging loyalty to a different faction, they wanted independence.

The Rebels took the Duke of Nassau hostage. After pleas of help from the duke, Whitecrest mobilized their navy in order to suppress the rebellion. A skirmish soon erupted after a tense standoff with Nova Balreska lead by Admiral cheeze587, who were assisting the rebels. All Nova Balreskan ships were sunk and all nova personnel were killed in battle.

The remaining rebels, seeing the subsequent defeat of Nova, retreated into the Nassau lighthouse and threatened the death of the Duke unless Whitecrest withdrew from the island. The duke jumped from the lighthouse, injuring himself and handing control of Nassau to the rebels. Whitecrest withdrew from Nassau with the duke.

Geography Edit
Nassau is an archipelago lying south of Whitecrest consisting of six small islands, the largest of which is the center island where the lighthouse, dockmaster, warehouse and the merchants are located.

Due to Nassau's geographic location on the map, it is mostly isolated as it sits furthest away from the central islands which means that by conventional sailing, ships are forced to sail a long distance southwards from Harrisburg in order to reach Nassau.

Out of all the spawn islands, Nassau is the smallest and has a scarcity of natural resources as it is spread across the other islands in the archipelago. The other 5 islands all provide a natural barrier protecting the spawn island against long ranged howitzer fire from off shore as well as making it difficult for large and less maneuverable ships to navigate through.

Other Territories Edit
-Saint Christopher

-Salem (formerly)

Local Buildings Edit
The only island with buildings on it is the main one in the center, though it has a small house isolated on one of its small islands surrounding the main island. It has merchants, buildings, and a Warehouse to store items. The most noticeable building on Nassau is its light house.

Navy Edit
The Nassau Navy ("NN") is the smallest out of all the factions as it is also the newest. Unlike other navies, the NSN's flag is not different from their faction's flag and doesn't yet and it does not participate in naval roleplays at the moment. This is probably because it has been added relatively lately to Tradelands.

For the navy uniforms, Low ranks bare a thin blue and white striped sailor top which is accompanied by a brown button up coat with a tied up yellow armband surrounding the left arm. Officers would wear a buttonup shirt instead of the striped sailor top and beginning with midshipmen, they will have sashes. Officers also wear a more traditional style of coat, a new cleaner armband and would have distinctively more blue to their coats.

Nassau medals are not introduced yet and is currently being made.
