The World, 1815

[Chairman Stein]

The Heldemar Commonwealth)

The Heldemar Commonwealth

Hail to the Three Crowned King!

Government: Constitutional Monarchy (2 Points)

Head of State: Ferdinand II (Of House Westergaard)

Provinces: 3 (2 Points)

Population: 14,000,000 (4 Points)

Colonies: N/A

Official Demonym: Heldmaran

Cultures: Swadaran
Norder
Danmarans
(2 Points)

Nation Description:
Unlike the other Kingdoms and Empires of the Continent, The Heldemarian Commonwealth is a recent creation. For decades the northern kingdoms have fought bitterly amongst each other, with little ambition to reach beyond their borders and into either the new world or the far east. While this isolationist stance has led to an expansive folklore of heroes such as the barbarian Ragnok 'The Red' and Sir Franz Heisinch, it has not created any true prestige for the northern realms. However as the world entered the 18th century and the revolutions of rationalism and liberalism came into view, as did the northern revolution. It all started with a minor naval skirmish between the Norder and Swadaran kingdoms, and led to an all out war over the aggression of the other nation. Two years into this bitter war of attrition, however neither King expected the actions of their southernmost neighbor. Heinrich III, known more commonly as 'The Untamed King', marched his Danmaran host north against Swadaria in a sudden strike while the Swadrans were off in Norder territory in the east.

The unexpecting Swadaran garrison at the capital were no match for the prepared Danmarans, and within a month Narberg fell to Heinrich's forces and the defenders were put to the sword. The cruelty of the Danmaran forces to their enemies struck fear into the Swadarans and a pledge for peace was quickly put forward. However Heinrich demanded complete annexation of the fledgling kingdom, the choice was simple. When it came to the Norder, the Danmarich kingdom had always held strong relations with House Bolwin and the offer of pledging fielity to the growing Danmarich Kingdom was an easy offer to accept. Within half a year the north was at last united under a singular monarch. On August 17th, 1763, the Heldemar Commonwealth was proclaimed to all the lords of the continent.

Under the rule of Heinrich III the Commonwealth faced untold economic expansion and the crafting of an unmatched Grand Army. The only major crisis was the ever present Haugesend nationalism that had always plagued the Swadarans. Heinrich would have none of it, and was quick to order a peace by blood. Needless to say, the abject cruelty of Heinrich did not help the anger the Haugesend felt at their believed oppressors. Now, all these years later, the Haugesend wage a war for independence and claim that genocide was committed by the former King. However the days of Heinrich III are behind the Commonwealth as a whole, and the northern lords elected Ferdinand II of House Westergaard in July of 1786 at the age of 22. The now 51 year old King Ferdinand continues to have to deal with the issues Heinrich left behind, it seems...

@bloonewb I don't wish to offend, but I noticed a few discrepancies in my sheet.

* The name should be Raydir Sultanate (missing the r at the end)

* In the income line, you treated it like 2 provinces, when I have 4

* I have 3 province 2s

* In army training, you put 21 + 5 as 27, not 26

Sorry, I'll fix these. Is your map location adequate?

@Theodorable

My question is, how do I even access colonies when I'm land locked? I'm finding that very funny.

@Lauder

You're landlocked on the map, but to the north it's plausible you have a warm water port.

More important is the very tenuous majority your nation has of your legislative branch.

I am not worried about that all too much. I just have diversity and diversity is good
