    The Glory of War

    Brought to you by the GoW Office of Misconsfusion

    -----------------------

    Introduction

    Background

    The Glory of War is one of the four nations which originated in the continent known as Bob (or Borconia in Arab). Born out of a collection of loosely assembled smelly feudal cavemen lords in the hills northwest of the continent, the empire now spreads from coast to coast incorporating most of the former territory of Lux Invicta and some Neu Demogyptican lands. Main events in the history of GoW include the Luxian War in which it was a late participant (notable only in the capture and subsequent slavery of the Luxian leader, Trip) and the Great Bobian War where, allied with its southern neighbor, defeated the armies of Spain and the Gathering Storm. Today GoW remains a significant military and economic power and is rapidly industrializing though most of its inhabitants still cant speak or spell, still bonk each other in the head with dull clubs and axes just for the fun of it, consider shaving their backs and asses (as well as their women's beards) a national pastime, and most importantly, still do not shower often.

      We've got a pretty good idea.

        It should be noted that the Blockheads are rather dormant as of late. Currently their main project is building up the province of Isolationia. Their other main project is importing building materials from Legoland.

          What??!! No chickens?!
          The greatest delight for man is to inflict defeat on his enemies, to drive them before him, to see those dear to them with their faces bathed in tears, to bestride their horses, to crush in his arms their daughters and wives.

            I belive chickens belong under 'Imports'. For obvious reasons, that section is classified Bobian Top Secret

              As far as the war chickens, I can neither confirm nor deny that their taste is exquisite...

              Though I can say that the bearded lady does exist.

                      Actually, the House of Ghengis is simply a family, I'm still leader of the Cult of War, GoW's first religious sect which is somewhat political.

                            Don't know why. It's not like we ever had WW...but that's a whole different topic...

                            We even asked Trip to look into it...
