Bennipolis
La 14ème Année éponyme d'Athènes
Athenakles était sur le point de se mettre au lit quand un messager portant la réponse des Arbassiens. Athenakles a rapidement brisé le sceau sur la lettre et digéré le contenu écrit dessus. Athenakles était au moins convaincu que les Arbassains avaient pris contact avec Valm. De plus, il ne s'attendait pas à ce que les Arbassiens choisissent de véritables parties sur cette question parce qu'ils étaient entre Scylla et Charybdis : s'ils avaient pris parti d'un côté, l'autre partie aurait répliqué par l'un ou l'autre de leurs militaires (Valm) ou leur marine (Bennipolis). Puisque l'Ekklesia ne se retrouvera pas avant la semaine prochaine, Athenakles décide d'écrire personnellement une réponse aux Arbassiens.

À la Boule d'Arbasse.
Nous avons reçu votre réponse à notre lettre de plainte contre Alm. Nous tenons à vous remercier d'avoir contacté Alm au sujet de leur commerce avec Tereridon. Il appartient maintenant aux Almiens de décider quoi faire ensuite. Nous avons seulement demandé à l'Impérium uni d'Alm de réduire la quantité d'armes qu'ils fournissent à Teréridon parce que nous craignons ce que les Teréridoniens feraient avec une armée moderne à leur disposition. La royauté téréridienne a déjà exprimé leur nature expansionniste. Nous craignons que les Teréridoniens, lorsqu'ils auront mis à jour leur armée avec des armes modernes, ne voient notre nation comme une cueillette facile et n'envahissent nos terres. Nous craignons qu'ils ne tuent tous nos hommes et qu'ils asservissent nos femmes et nos enfants, comme ils l'ont déjà fait dans le passé aux Hellènes qui avaient auparavant habité leurs terres. J'ai même une fille. Je préfère donner ma vie avant de la voir être une prostituée pour un prince téréridonien. Par conséquent, nous ne cherchons que notre propre bien-être.
Que les Immortels soient gentils avec vous.
Athénakles
Basileus Éponyme de Bennipolis, sacré à joliment poilu Bennis.

Après qu'Athénakles eut terminé le message, il ordonna au messager d'avoir un navire prêt d'ici le lendemain matin afin que le navire puisse lancer le matin et livrer sa réponse aux Arbassiens.

Description:
A nation with a long and rich culture, the Bennipolitans had a golden age many centuries ago. While after their decline they have been subjugated and ruled by other nations and empires, Bennipolis has finally remerged as a global contender. A blend of the present and the past, they accept the advances of the 18th century (1700’s), yet they still embrace their ancestral customs and practices. While Bennipolis is a large, walled city with an acropolis where the majority of their important religious structures reside, the other populated areas within their territory are rather rural, being confined to villages and small towns.
Since Bennipolis is just one city-state (along with other smaller cities and villages in the neighboring area), she cannot muster the forces like other larger nations do. However, what they lack in quantity, they make up with quality. Furthermore, a large army is unnecessary when one rules the waves. The Bennipolitan navy outmatches navies of other nations, securing the nearby waters. This allows them to become a safe haven for trading. While the land in which Bennipolis is located is not the most fertile or resource rich, being able to craft valuable goods makes up for it, although this might become a problem if they cannot get international imports to feed their populace and fuel their workshops.
Language: Bennipolitan Greek

Religion: Similar to Ancient Greek polytheism. Major Deities: Zeus, Athena, Bennis (Combined roles of Aphrodite and Mars – note Mars has a more positive connotation than Ares – also a local water deity), Ephydris (Artemis-like local deity).
