So uh, where are we at with this? We've got a few solid nations right now, reckon it might be time to move it on to RP stage?

Name: Federation of the Four Kingdoms (Koenigrijk Jal Federasjon)
Flag:



Province/Capital (clockwise from top)
- Skorjähn (Stat der Ankersjernè)
- Fyrland (Stat der Rijksvalle)
- Tøsteven (Stat der Kúnneborg)
- Kyrringgúr (Stat der Kestèven)

Population: 1,600,000

Capital City: Citadel of Fraski'ir Administrative District (Rhégar der Fraskir Kèitursadminstratdistrikt)

Resources: Timber, Iron, Wheat, Barley, Potatoes, Apples, Oxen, Horses, Cattle
Luxuries: Silver, Parchment, Deer, Wild Boar

Government Type: Elective Monarchy
State Legislature: Kongrégur
Economy Type: Mass agriculture, education

Leaders and Generals:
Leader - Storjarl Ulfrik IV
Ulfrik IV was elected 3 years ago from his home state of Bre'jen, and his tenure is expected to last for 11 years, the term limit as established in the constitution. So far, his administration has instituted a well received 'Assured Accomodation' act for all tax payers, yet has been criticised for his perceived unwarranted spending on defensive structures surrounding the Federation's boundary.

Minister for the Economy - Tarlen Visker
Tarlen Visker, appointed by Ulfrik in the forming of the last Kongre'gur, is the ex-Chancellor of Koleren Jurvangar. His budget has so far been conservative, yet his decision to increase military expenditure was seen as contradictory to the state ethos. The government maintains that "due to uncertain diplomatic circumstances within the immediate region, it has been decreed necessary to divert funds to ensure the security and longevity of our nation".

Minister for Culture and Education - Freja Gorlensen
Noted as only the second female senior minister in the history of the Federation, Freja Gorlensen has been a popular figure, particularly among the citizens of the poorer, agrarian regions. She has continued to praise and support the Federation's higher education institutions with continued investment, and her tenure has been characterised by the commission of a new Great Vault, to replace the old one which was ransacked in the Great Struggle. In regards to cultural tradition, she has continued the Federation's proud history of extravagant festivals, with the annual National Day celebration attracting record attendance of over 400,000 people in the Citadel's Federation Square.

Minister for Public Services - Treyver Osmund
Chief of Arms - Kristofer van Baal

Culture Description: Citizens of the Federation are predominantly Nordic in race, with other ethnic minorities composing the remainder of the population. The secular government does not endorse any particular faith, and numerous religious denominations practice throughout the Federation, with approximately 30% cited as agnostic. Whilst secular, the national calendar is frequented by cultural celebration, examples being the Festival of Fertility in the spring, and the Arcane Rite on the winter solstice. The capital city hosts multiple diplomatic missions, and seeks to engage diplomatically with any recognised state that wishes to do so. The focus on education has facilitated the growth of a diverse range of industries, the strongest being mass agriculture, and the second of education within the Federation's numerous colleges.

Military Trait: Cryptographic Institute - The government's investment into cryptography and concealed technology has resulted in both civil and military applications. Military orders are carried out significantly more quickly, and spies/pro-Federation ministers are more easily installed in neighbouring states.

Civil Trait: The Printing Press - The Federation's printing and intellectual institutions are well renowned throughout Antiquity. This has created a secondary, advanced economy based around education and the development of technology.

Flaw Trait: Historical Obligation - The Federation has traditionally maintained a neutral standpoint, and thus its military, whilst well equipped, is significantly smaller than similarly sized nations.

History: As the name may suggest, the Federation was originally a collection of four smaller Kingdoms each ruled by a Jarl. During the Great Struggle (Tumuula Jauren), in fear of becoming destroyed due to their size, the four Kingdoms decided to amalgamate into a Federation, being ruled by a single Storjarl (Great Jarl) elected from each of the constituent Kingdoms. The combination of collective security, yet strongly autonomous states meant that the economy grew and diversified with minimal military conquest over the years.

The Jur'vangar College (Koleren Jurvangar) was established by the first Storjarl of the Kingdom, and cemented an ethos that focused on the pursuit of knowledge and economic efficiency, over military conquest. Whilst the power of the Storjarl is restricted by that of his government (Kongre'gur), a clause exists that permits the leader to override many constitutional rules and essentially rule as a dictator in times of strife, yet this power has never been exercised before.

"Stay on your guard, I do not believe these men have good intentions."

Abinnor's warning seemed to time exquisitely with a thunderous roar of shouts that rang across the plaza. The speaker on the podium was silenced by one of the figures, and this incited the others to carry out their deed. The blue clocked men drew their swords and began attacking all those who stood in the square, women, children, no one was spared. Arijen unsheathed his dual swords and spun them expertly in his hands, it was times like this he was in his element.

One of the Blue-cloaks charged towards him with ferocious velocity, the silver glint of the spear head warning Arijen of the imminent attack. He sidestepped with finesse, arcing his swords behind him, and attacked with a powerful spinning motion, sending one sword into the lower abdomen, and the other into the soft tissue beneath the chin of the attacker. The sheer momentum of his adversary caused his body to continue onwards into the fountain, albeit without a head and a pulse. Slightly thrilled by this, a rush of adrenaline surged through his body, as he sprinted up to a nearby watchtower to gain a valuable vantage position.
"Time for some target practice" he thought to himself.

The stoney facade of the tower offered no hinderance to his scaling of the structure, as his rapidly ascended by grappling the stones that jutted out. Pulling himself over the ledge, he hunted over the scene that lay before him for a suitable target. He spied a duo of axe wielding Blue-cloaks who were cornering some civillians who were armed with meager looking wooden sticks, taking his chance, he took a throwing knife from his belt and drew it to eye level, preparing to throw. Zeroing in on the tyrants, he moved his hand backwards, yet it was stopped by a gloved hand. Startled, he spun around to face the assailant, yet all he saw was a fist that dazed him and knocked him backwards over the tower ledge. Desperately, he thrust his hand out and grabbed onto one of the stone pieces that protruded from the tower, and his descent was halted.

30 feet in the air, amidst the chaos and despair of the battle, Arijen, somewhat bewildered, held on with a single hand, wondering what on earth he was going to do.

The commotion outside the tavern had grown larger, and Arijen noted the arrival of more of the cloaked men who appeared to be watching over the events carefully. Suddenly, he felt a shove from the side, sending him backwards onto the plaza floor, he instinctively reached for his sword, in anticipation to block an oncoming strike from the figure looming above. Yet it appeared the man has no intention of attack, and instead held out a hand.
"Apologies, my sight was focused on other things and did not see you" the man said as he outstretched his arm. Somewhat cautious of the hand, Arijen jumped up effortlessly, "likewise" he said with a small chuckle as he studied the stranger, noting the difference in appearance compared to the armour-clad men, "I suppose one can't be too careful, with all these dark-cloaks about"
