The Twenty-Fifth Dynasty of Josh
3 June 2025 - 19 June 2025
Ascension Address
Ascension Address: The Inland Sea
To be the Captain of a ship at sea is to be the undisputed sovereign of a nation. You have territory, which must be carefully stewarded is she is to continue to support your lives and welfare; you have borders, outside which lies the enemy, cold and hostile.
And above all else, you have people. Mark my words, to be the Captain of a ship at sea is more than mere rulership. Any slick-toothed clown can be a President. To be a Captain, you need more. It takes the fortitude of a priest, the discipline of a drill sergeant, the clear vision of a strategist, and the iron-clad certainty of the undisputed King, appointed by the divine right of God.
The sea is our destiny. It connects us more surely than the treachery of roads. We will build great ships, and we will need great Captains. That is how our culture will flourish.
- President Tarquin O’Seele, Regional Capital, 12 May 32xx
Throughout the dynastic ruleset, change Drafter to City and change Supervisor to Capital. Set the gamestate tracking page to the Inland Sea page of the wiki. Keep the Revisions Allowed Building Block and add Reinitialisation and Precondition Unidling.
The sketch set out in the Container Draft wiki page gives a rough idea of where this is headed, but note that it is non-binding on either me or on players; I’m keen to explore the space.

Ascension
The Emperor proposed to end the dynasty with a coin-flip between the two leading (only?) players, DoomedIdeas and JonathanDark. Raven1207 supported this proposal, taking it to quorum. Darknight and Lendunistus did not comment or vote on it.
JonathanDark won the coin-flip and declared victory.
