The Crowned Republic of Velldon

Crowned Republic of Velldon

"Gods preserve the Republic!"

Capital: Corisan

National Population:
10 Million

Demonym:
Velldons, Velldonians

Ethnic Groups:
Too numerous to even count.

Language(s) Spoken:
The language most spoken is Velldoni

Religion(s) Practiced(If any):
There is no formal State Religion, rather there is a multitude of different religions both local and from all across the world, free to practice their faith.

(1-5 based on the two sides of the scale.)
Government:
Individual 5----- State
Religious --3-- Secular
Democracy --3-- Autocracy
Dove --3-- Hawk
Isolationist --3-- Interventionist
Summery: The Crowned Republic functions differently then most democratic nations, in that while they elect their leaders, rather then a lone person, the entirety of a Noble House is chosen to be the Ruling House of the Republic, the current Matriarch/Patriarch of the Elected House is then chosen to become the new Head Sovereign of the State. The rest of the Major and Lesser Houses then form the Royal Assembly, whom both act as the Advisers of the Ruling King/Queen, and help govern and enact laws of the Republic.

Economy:
Capitalism 5--- Communism
Private --4-- Public
Inequality --3-- Equality
Summery: Since the revolution, Velldon at the moment heavily rely on the outside world for imports to survive, and seek every opportunity to bring businesses to their land, to flourish. As such, Velldon operates under a Free Market, seeing as any hindrance to their economic progress could mean the end of their young Republic.

Society:
Open 5--- Closed
Liberal --3-- Conservative
Tolerant 5--- Intolerant
Summery: Velldon prides itself as an open and free society with a good blend of conservative and progressive values, welcoming peoples of all races, creeds, and religions out there. Of course, they cannot afford to withhold passage to any person who wishes to become a citizen.

Military:
- Coat of Arms:

- Size: 150,000 Active, 800,000 in reserve
- Branches:
Royal Velldonian Army
Royal Navy(Includes both air and sea units)
Royal Knight Corps
- Readiness: Nearly a year had passed since the Revolution, the Newly established Velldonian Military is currently on high alert as they fear their former Masters, the Church of the Machine, will one day return.

Territory:
- Important Locations:

History:
The region known as Velldon was once a land divided among dozens of small Kingdoms and City-States, one fought over for centuries by the ruling Noble Houses which commanded these states, that is, however, till the Church of the Machine arrived one hundred years ago. Launching a brutal and swift crusade into Velldon, easily conquering the divided nations, who after many decades of warfare, had been left in weary and weaken states. Some reluctantly surrendered to the approaching armies, while many others some stood ever defiant, and fought to the death.

The early years were the hardest for the Velldon people, the Noble Houses that survived the Crusade went into hiding, seen as subversive by the Church's Upper Echelons. And the people were left leaderless for a moment, forced to renounce their previous beliefs and faiths if they sought a better life under the rule of the Machine Church. However, many still resisted their lordship over the lands, fighting for their rights.

For a Hundred years, Velldon was seen as troublesome, constantly struggling their iron grip. However, as the Machine War sparked, the rebellion renewed their efforts as more and more of the Church's soldiers were sent off to war. The Noble Houses, once thought abandoned by their people, had came out of hiding as confidence grew among the populace. And took charge of the inevitable Uprising to was to take place.

By the war's end, the Nobles gave the order, and all across Velldon, mass uprisings and riots took place. In the chaos, the rebels had received aid from an unexpected ally in the form of the Solaran Administration, who sought the opportunity to strike a decisive blow against their enemy, and supplied the rebels with the much needed equipment to take back their homeland. As the weaken garrisons were overwhelmed by the furious velldons. Swiftly, they retook their homeland from the Machine Church, feeling that Velldon was no longer worth the lives of their men, they fell back en mass, leaving the people to their own devices.

For all their differences, they no longer cared. No longer were they loyal to multiple states, but one. The Velldon People were united for the first time in hundreds of years, and they intended it to stay that way. The Noble Houses came together, and agreed upon the establishment of the Crowned Republic.
- International Relations:
Greater Republic of Arcis: Both Arcis and Velldon remain weary of one another, Acris fearing Velldon's rise as a nation due to it's past with the Church, and Velldon, worrying of the increasingly militarized border the Arcisans are setting up.

Solaran Administration: Military Alliance. While the Crowned Republic is as well weary of the Solarans the same as the Arcisans, they however are in no position to stand alone, and for now, accept their aide, even allowing Solaran troops to operate within their borders.

Imperial Desandi of the Church of the Machine: Openly hostile, Velldon and Desandi remain in a state of war.

Jopaze Republic: Unknown
Torvari Federation: Unknown
Caidius Hegemony: Unknown
Sultante of Fahtamis: Unknown
Revolutionary Confederation of the Frontier States: Unknown
Independent Collective Union of Guilds: Unknown
Commonwealth of Freeport States: Unknown
Dominion of Courbonnais: Unknown
Linesseland: Unknown

Notes: SMOKEY

Military

The Velldon, being formerly Church Territory, had come into possession of many of the armaments and gear of the Church's military, left over by the retreating garrisons. Of course, throughout the months, Velldon has been hard at work for an Armory of their own creation, from uniforms, to firearms. It has also received the occasional shipments of various sorts of military hardware from the Solaran Administration.

Army
Army Regulars

Velldonian Regulars, made up mostly of former guerrilla fighters and rebel militia, while lacking experience in large-scale warfare, the velldon regulars strong points lie within their less then conventional tactics, and fight best in small groups, often applying the same tricks they done in the last years of the occupation and at the dawn of the revolution.

Ironclad Shock Troopers

One of the many leftovers of the Desandi garrison forces, the Ironclads were a force to be feared in Velldonian streets, in the right hands, however, Velldon Ironcalds have little experience with the armor, and often stumble. They do, however, make good bullet sponges to distract the enemy, and of course, return fire with virtually no wounds.

Navy

Bishop Fighter Plane


Templar Dive Bomber


Cleansing Fire Strategic Bomber


Crusader Prototype Jet Fighter

Heh, I know that feel all to well.

[Omega]

I just made my history now so I will work on my first IC post.

[Skylar]

Put up an opening IC post, showcasing one of my plot groups in a young duo of a lady inventor and a young tycoon working to bring about another revolution to industry.

Will put up my other plot-groups in due time, but I think its a good opening.

[Omega]

I do not like opening RPs with wars but I cannot really think of anything else to open with so my post is a moderate mobilization.

[Kilo6]

Hmmm nothing with establishing better political connections with other nations or something?

Well I have a rivalry with 1 nation, another is a friend of my rival, I trade food to one nation and am working on trade with Skylar. I do not have relations with anyone else yet.

Of NPC nations I have no friends, in my history I made enemies out of everyone near me.

[Serpentine88]

Good thing I am to the north west, now I am likely to only be invaded from one front instead of three xD.

Perhaps the religious fanatic machine cult/mechanicus can help me defend against the anti-religion religious fanatic invasion.

Serp, I remember that you said your native's were like Mongolians. I had planned for the people all over that plain to be Mongolian-esque as well so I am wondering what your relations are to the horse lords south of you? If you are friends with the rest of them then it would seem I will have another enemy on my list.

[Serpentine88]

I'm on the other side of the ocean to your empire, so I have very little ability to affect the battles you fight over there. My government is busy fighting a (nearly over) war against Freeport and preparing for the inevitable invasion of insane fanatics from the north, so it wont try to pick a fight until after your empire's insane ally declares war on me for "Insert casus belli here", then my revolutionaries will start sending supplies and help to the natives fighting you.

To counter the inevitable invasion from the north, Napoleon-expy will probably retreat from his isolationist stance and start allying major powers, setting up a World War scenario.

Ah, from before reading your nation sheet i guess i got your location backwards. nevermind then.

[Serpentine88]

Mmm, I actually thought I was going to be placed in the same position you and Usurper King thought I'd be, in which case my presence in this RP would be short as I'd be gang banged by much larger empires. (poland-style)

In my current position however, I have the ability to actually defend myself enough to RP a story.

By the way, my Napoleon-Expy is actually from a family that settled in the frontier from your land.

[Omega]

heh, i wish I could say I would not be a dick, but as my nation developed it has become one of rather large assholes. They would give you a chance to surrender then gangbang.

That is cool that he came from my lands. About how long ago did he leave?

[Serpentine88]

As a child. So his base culture and language is your lands but he has allegiance to the frontier.

[Kilo6]

Anyone need the Arcis Foreign Legion to step in and provide some humanitarian relief or support? Maybe even occupy a town or two to uphold law and order? XD

No, but I still need some help giving some validity to the Arcis's Red Cross/UN Forces like status, especially its specialized unit for it. I want it to be so that when Foreign Legion show up at your nation, the only thought that crosses your mind is "I hope they brought enough food" So I need some previous history with foreign nations to justify the idea.

[Serpentine88]

While my nation would have needed the food during the civil war (Blockades, enforced starvation, siege's, slash-and-burn tactics, etc), intervening would have started a world war since you would have pissed off Freeport. Plus, the frontier armies would probably attack your peacekeepers as well, as they are fighting a war and your foreign legion would get in the way.
