Well, I'm actually new to Coimbra, I only spent 2 months here, but since nobody wrote anything about it, I think that it's better if at least I write something, than to have this page empty.

Coimbra is a very small realm. Currently it is down to 2 regions, with Krimml being the capital. We are at war with Oligarch, Perdan and Avamar (and Rancagua, but not very actively) at the moment. It is a very hard time for us now. Our allies Sirion and Fontan are busy at their own battle-fronts and we are overwhelmed by superior Oligarch forces. We have a great queen in the person of Umai; she does her best to keep the realm alive. We have experienced 3 major attacks in the last few weeks. We repelled the first occupation force (consisting of Oligarch, Perdan and Avamar forces)with the help of Fontan and Sirion. The second attack (oligarch and Perdan) was also beaten back when Sirion arrived with its armies to help us. The third time Oligarch attacked (together with Avamar) we managed to beat them back.

I can't say too much about our history, because of the reason I already mentioned: I'm new here; but I heard from others that before the war we used to have 5 regions...
(I have to note that 'the war' is actually two wars, but there was such a short peace time between them, that I take them as one.)

Well so much for the sad part, here are some advantages:
- Coimbra encourages roleplaying
- I organise super-marathons through enemy lands every month when there's a war ;)
- 30% of our TLs spent more than a year in the realm; how bad can it be then? ;)
- another 20% of our TLs spent more than 200 days here
- I already mentioned this: we have a wonderful queen
- and I'm here as well :)

Excellent stuff, hope you don't mind if I add to it and bump it. We deserve a little recognition round here. :)

Coimbra is an excellent little realm at the moment. We're constantly beset by larger enemy forces, so if you're looking for a nice easy ride in the game, we're not gonna be your best choice ;) However, if what you're after is a challenge, and a tasty amount of warfare, well, we got both of those in bucketloads.
We're in the middle of yet another military sorta crisis right now, but it's the kind of thing we can deal with. We fight with honour and pride, and can bounce back from our difficulties.

I can't predict the future, hell, for all I know we may be eventually defeated in the future, but the spirit of Coimbra will live on in the hearts and souls of her loyal nobles.

Update
Coimbra wishes to apologise to whoever left the comments for not dying as they expected. Whilst we appreciate larger realms trying to destroy us, we find ourselves temporarily unable to comply.
