The Tien Chi Goods and Items Manufacturing Company has noticed a drastic drop in our sales recently. We did not know why this occurred, so our investigators were dispatched to determine the source of our economic problems. They have reported back that it is the fault of the Jomonese, who have achieved monopoly status.

Tien Chi hereby revokes our NAP with Jomon. It is now turn 38, so hostilities can begin in turn 41.

Jomon has far more lands than any other nation. They have a huge lead in research, forts, income, gem income, dominion, army size, EVERY graph. Not only that, they were first to const-8, and have forged all the useful artifacts. And now, they have cast the Gift of Health. We expect tartarians to begin pouring out of the depths of Jomon hell soon.

So now is the time to strike! Nations of Wheel, put aside your differences. If you cannot make peace with your enemy, then at least seek a ceasefire. You destroy yourselves while Jomon grows bigger and bigger and more powerful.

The Jomon monopoly must be smashed, and the pieces of its empire broken from each other.

Tien Chi has no chance of accomplishing this on our own. We urge all nations to take up their swords against Jomon now, for the hour is late and all our doom is at hand.

-- Prophet Yao of Tien Chi

P.S. Gank Jomon!
