Ah, so near and yet so far. I didn't mentioned in that
post my justification for the High Technolgy Level:
immigration from the more technolgogically advanced
Gnome homelands, on other contienets, of the other
ethnicities, Nomia being home to only one of the
Ethnicities (which was about equal in size to the
others but had better social structure and was split
among three of the six tribes). The area I was looking
at most closely was the extreme north-east corner, but
after looking more closely, it appears to be under the
control of the Sorcerer. After checking my original
map, that I drew to participate in the game, I realise
my society was actually located off the north edge of
the map, quite near Celedra's north pole. Also my
orginal concept had them heavily dependant on trade
(presumably with the goblins). Each of the other
Ethnicities had it's own language, which belong to the
same family as Dwarfin, and the natives spoke three
Dialects of Nomian, the offical language of Nomia.
With Hindsighy, I think I've gone over the top by
detailing all six ethnicities homelands, as well as
that of the Blue Dragons and have enough information
to run a game set in the Celearian Arctic, but didn't
want to because I've never played Fugified Interactive
History before. Maybe when I've got a feel for things
I could run my own game, but I'm not ready yet. 

There was another society I was also looking at,
Velok, but that's being played by someone else. 

After much consideration, what I really want to run is
a) A domain with that tech level (or higher), b) A
clan based democracy. These are more important to me
than the other aspects of the culture. 

After viewing the exsisting webpage, I am left with
the following question, if Nomia is not acceptable: Is
the Sorcerer of the North available for Players, as,
of the exsisting domains, that society most closely
matches what I want to play?
