Kingdom Of Brittania (British Isles) A groups of lords serving under a singular King. The Brittanians are also very fond of “Grenadiers” who are elite troops armed with Muskets. The Brittanian peasants are usually not full on squalor living serfs but are in no means rich. They serve their lord and live a normal life. Medium Sized Army. Slow to mobilize large groups. High tech. Franswa Monarchy (France) The enemy of Brittania, the Franswa are famed for using Longbows and baguettes! The Franswa peasants are divided into three “tiers”, the elite lords who are spares but are insanely rich. The medium crafts men and tradesmen who have made a small fortune with clever business practices. And the serfs who live in slums and mud, there has been a ripple of rumors that some are planning on a second Franswa Civil War, but its just a rumor. Large Sized Army. Quick to mobilize. Medieval style. United Iberigoths (Spain) A handful of kingdoms barely holding themselves together via whoever is stronger than the others. Generally considered the underdog of the western kingdoms. Unlike most other nations, the peasants of the Iberigoths are incredibly hostile to outside forces, even peasants from one fief over! They very poor and its only made worse by constant raiding from different Iberigoth lords! Small Sized Army. Slow to mobilize. Early Medieval. Holy Templar (Think “Knight Templars mixed with Holy Roman Empire”) Once a powerful empire stretching as far as the eye could see, now its a cult like kingdom ruled by the High Council. Their capital was once the capital of the Respublica Imperialis, and their goal is to recreate the empire, but better, and holier! In practice though their really just a army of knights fighting whoever they want. The peasants, or citizens, of the Holy Templar are rich compared to most other kingdoms. They own their own house, maybe a slave or two, and maybe even a business. However there are the non-citizens, people that don’t have a High Council citizenship and so are mistreated. Medium Sized Army. Normal mobilization. Like a mix of Roman Legions and Knight Templars. Frostlander (Scandinavian Vikings) Dozens of clans that form together in times of need. (In)Famous for raiding coastlines in longboats, axes, and shield walls. Generally have no opinion of politics and diplomacy. Their clan members, being clan members and not peasants, are only a little poorer than the clan leaders. Everyday life is generally pretty comfortable, and extremely bloody when raiding. Small Sized Army. Extremely fast mobilization. Nordic Viking raiders. Teutanian Order (Germany) A order of knights who directly oppose the Holy Templars. A council of knights rule the lands, it is called the Round Table. Well known for powerful knights in heavy armor. Members of the Round Table Rule the lands around their keeps, keeping good relations with their people, while still recruiting them to serve as footmen in Teutanian battles! Medium Sized Army. Fast mobilization. Noble Germanic Knights. Kozzaki (Cossacks) A loose group of tribes bordering the Eastern Sea. Well known for their skills of stealth and riding! Similarly to the Frostlanders, they do not get involved in wars if they can help it. However they do offer themselves as elite mercenaries to other kingdoms. The Kozzaki are very tribal and decisions are based on votes. When they go to war or send out mercenaries, the veteran and highly skilled warriors are put to a vote to decide who is the leader for this excursion. Surprisingly even woman are allowed a vote and are allowed to fight! Small Sized Army. Extremely Fast Mobilization. Early Cossack style army. Kieven Tsardom (Russian Empire) A massive empire stretching farther than most maps go. It might seem swell but its really just the rich Tsar overseeing hordes of serfs. Their army reflects this as its normally made up of Levy’s and very rarely Kozzaki horsemen. Oh who lives in this village? Serfs. Who lives in that Village? Serfs. Who lives in this village? Serfs. Thats pretty much the entire empire are serfs. When they go to war they don’t even get trained usually. Its really just “Heres a sword and a shield, go die for the Tsar”. Gigantic Sized Army, like really, its huge! Slow Mobilization. Medieval peasant army. Thagians (Carthage) South of the South Sea there lies a land of fierce naval warriors and massive technological advances. They are the only rival of the Brittanian Navy on the sea! And yet they stick to the South Sea while the Brittanians have the Great Sea. They are ruled via Democracy similar to the Respublica Imperialis. The Thagians people have about the same rights as the Holy Templars. The big difference though is that one does not require a citizenship to live comfortably in Thagians. Large Sized Army. Normal Mobilization. Roman/Carthage style army.
Abaria Caliphate (Middle East) A kingdom known for its elephant warriors. They are in near constant war with the Brittanians and Franswa due to them believing that Abaria was the birthplace of all man kind and that it shouldn’t be in the hands of either the Abarians nor the other. And so the Brittanians and the Franswa are constantly sending crusades to fight each other and take the Abarian capital! The Holy Templar as well is attempting to invade, not for the same reason though. The Holy Council wants to remake the might of the Respublica Imperialis by retaking the land that was once apart of it. The peasants are incredibly poor, not by choice of the Sultan like in Kievan, but due to the constant state of warfare. All the money ends up going the Sultan in order to supply his armies and defend the kingdom. Sadly it is not going well... Normally a large army, buts its stretched thin from the 4 different enemies. Normal Mobilization. Nordriket (Greenland) Nobody knows where the Frostlanders came from, but what they do know is that the Nordriket split off from them to form into a feudal kingdom. While the two refuse to cooperate with each other, they are not enemies, and will proudly stand side by side to fight the Battanian navy! The Nordriket live very similarly to the Frostlanders, except rather than being in clans they are one kingdom. This in turn makes some people richer and others poorer. But being a small kingdom they generally have about the same amount of wealth. Small Sized Army. Fast mobilization. Medieval Scandinavian. Wizards Coven (I mean, its a wizards coven, what else is there to say?) The Wizards Coven is a secretive society of, well, Wizards. There is no specific place of meeting for the Coven but they generally meet in Teutania. This is because the Teutanian Order does not have laws against magic and it is a central location in the world. How they live is generally unknown, but it is assumed that they are rich. Respublica Imperialis (Roman Empire) A long dead empire, once spanning all the way from the Iberigoths to the edge of Kieven. A formidable army of shield walls and tactics, the Respublica Imperialis was feared. The populace’s normal life style of the Respublica Imperialis is widely unknown. Many different governments have different biases, experiences, and opinions which makes it difficult to tell what it really was. If you live in Franswa or Iberigoth then you probably know the Respublica Imperialis as a evil tyranical place to live. If you live in Brittania, Thagians, or Holy Templar, you probably hear it as a better life than you currently have. And if you live in Teutania then you probably heard that it was a thing that happened, but now its not. EXTREMELY LARGE ARMY. Fast mobilization. Roman. Theres quite a bit more, but that's all that scratch will let me do!
