FORM OF GOVERNMENTCULTUREThe overwhelming peasantry majority continue to center their lives in largely isolated villages, where they act as members of a corporate body and help manage the community resources and monitor the community life. Across much of the country, these lower-classes are serfs who are bound permanently to parcels of land, whose farming is handled by tenant farmers who pay rents and obligatory services to the noblemen landlords. Peasant leaders supervise the fields and ditches and grazing rights, maintain public order and morals, and support a village court overseeing minor offenses. Inside the family the patriarch makes all the decisions, and is tasked with arranging advantageous marriages for his children. Much of the villages' communal life centers around spiritual services and holy days. Peasants draw lots to choose conscripts required by the army. The noblemen handle external relationships and politics for the villages under their control, and are not typically involved in daily activities or decisions.
HISTORY
TERRITORIAL CLAIMSYour ass is grass, and I'm the lawnmower!
ECONOMYThe Sexchellois economy is largely pre-industrial, primarily characterized by subsistence farming. Farm households are also engaged in handicraft production, mostly for home consumption, but with some goods sold, with the market economy based solely on extraction and processing of natural resources and agricultural products for local consumption.
TECHNOLOGY
ARMYSexhellois military organization retains many of the features that have sustained it for centuries, bolstered by its sheer size of hundreds of regiments of infantry, kept up to strength by a long established tradition of conscription, but the demands of modern warfare and rapid technological advances have given rise to extensive changes in equipment and tactics. The core of the Sexchellois army is still its elite regiments of
Ashigaru infantry, although their composition and role have changed greatly since their extensive (and brutal) reorganization in the wake of the civil war. The Ashigaru are trained as riflemen and grenadiers, and some regiments have recently begun to undergo extensive training with advancements in automatic handguns to serve as shock troops on armored and naval units. Ashigaru regiments are totally self-contained entities, and even include their own medical and logistic services.
Alongside these elites, the bulk of the confederation's armies are made up of
Mitsaki regiments – conscript light infantry given basic training and equipment, and which form the mass manpower of the state’s armies, utilizing a unique brand of unconventional equipment thanks to the adverse terrain of their homeland. Backed up by tough and versatile cavalry and artillery, they are a force to be reckoned with, especially in tight terrain. These specialized details are crewed solely by a special class of soldiers known as
Okandu. Originally irregular, almost exclusively peasantry, light infantry units who also served as guards and watchmen, the Okandu regiments have evolved to become custodians of the war effort, and are busily building a whole new military tradition. Fighting mainly as aggressive, fast moving formations, each Okandu soldier is fully conversant in the art of melee combat as well as rifling.
The last and most mysterious branch of the land troops are the Anibishu Knights. Although known as a powerful political force, and the ruling class’s own bodyguards, the Knights also field forces alongside the regular imperial military. Though few in number, the Knights boast some of the most skilled and feared soldiers in the world, backed up by technological expertise second only to the Samurai of yore. These modern offshoots eschew the use of firearms altogether, favoring a combination of swords and chemical warfare to truly become the stuff of legends.
