What's an OOB?

An Out of Body thread, in which you post your nation/character sheet.

[Sakura Kyouko]

Still open?

[Pumpkin Pirate]

[Sakura Kyouko]

Oh friggid...

[Everblight]

Thanks Pumpkin XD I'll probably end up finishing it tonight, it's quite fun.

@Victorian, Yeah I'm going to have Oil deposits out at sea not Oil rigs as such but you get what I mean. I guess a thriving Oil trade will solidify our Alliance? we are neighbors afterall!

[Victorian Style]

Indeed! We would make great allies! The Unified kingdoms of Arvale and Mazidia. *nod*

Huzzah indeed sir, here is my CS.

Nation Name: Frissenmark

Race: Human

Race Description: Standard humans of all shapes and sizes, due to a being originally a combination of different cultures formed into a single state.

Population Scale: Medium population = 800,000

Government: Absolute Monarchy

People of Importance:
- King Alphred 2nd of Frissenmark
- First lord Hmyrik of Lansorr rock
- Spymaster Syril var Sperjch
- High Admiral Greysan var Fitzram
- Lord Treasurer Jark mariss
- Territorial watch commander Rictan ven Kimmer

Nation Size: significantly medium, all outer islands being connected through sea routes to the home island of Frissen

Capital: Telleshelm

Settlements: The vast majority of settlements of Frissenmark are located on the coast. The larger towns located either as the capitals of outer islands or on the home island. The stuctural design of most of the settlements of Frissenmark could be held as similar to that of tudor english architectual influence.

Nation History: Originally the realm called Frissenmark was once just a loose trading coalition of islands, squabbling amongst themselves over territorial claims, eventually the island of Frissen gained dominance among the coalition and over centuries of diplomacy, conflict and subterfuge, Frissen eventually became the ruler of all the coalition and reformed itself as the Frissenmark. The kings of Frissenmark have had their share of insurgencies and rebellions from the lower orders, but nothing has escalated over a few seasons or across further than its island of origin. This trend however has decreased as Frissen culture had infiltrated and expanded into the outer islands and ousted their native cultures.

The previous century of Frissenmark's history was marked with the decade long war with an amphibious non human species that harrassed Frissenmark's shipping and raided coastal villages. The aftermath of that war led to the extermination of the 'frogmen' as they were called by the Frissenmarkans and the strong national policy against non humans, but also the expansion of the Frissenmark navy particularly the Frissenmark marines, who developed after the war from a small detachment of the navy to a key force within the military.
The current king, Alphred 2nd, is soon to be known as Alphred the seafarer, as his increased spending on Frissenmark's navy and the patronage of naval exploration is creating a shift in Frissenmark's ports and anchorages.

Nation's Trade Resources: Crustacean meat, fish, oats, timber, iron and copper combined to make steel as an industrial result, beer and salt

Military: 15% of the population (120,000)

Regular troops: 20% (24,000) of the total Frissenmark military is what could be called a 'army'. The territorial watch, as they are called, are more of a gendarmerie that mans coastal forts and shore batteries. They are made up mostly of men-at-arms and ranged troops who almost exclusively man defensive positions.

Navy: 80% (96,000) of the rest of the Frissenmarkan military are either members of the ocean going navy or of the royal marines. The navy is mostly made up of large, heavily manned carracks and light, fast moving caravels along with a compliment of support vessels. The royal marines act as the main land based attack force the frissenmarkan's possess.

Magic: The formation of the royal college of mages was to facilitate the needs and organisation of the magically touched of frissenmark. The Frissenmark college of mages is made up of two schools of magic, salt and rock. The school of salt utilises their mild control of salt-water to the benefit of the monarchy, while the school of rock train their minds to shift and mold rock to their will with unfortunately little progress.

Map location: The red area on the map is the location of the Frissenmark, the largest island being the home island of Frissen where the capital is found.
