OOC.
Good. One suggestion. Maybe send PMs to the players runing your neighboring countries. So that you guys get to know another, establish what your relations are.
For instance, the news of these March manouevers can be very exciting for the Normanner. Should the fleet be recalled from the South Atlantic? Should the Army mobilise?
