[hider=The Estucar Imperium WIP] Name: The Estucar Imperium Flag/emblem:

Demonym: Ecstucarians Description: A small but very militaristic empire of only 1 million in pop, Estucar uses every man and sometimes also women it can and puts them to work, whether that means to farm, join the army, and many other jobs. Everyone is at work in the nation, to help grow the nations strength, or to help make its leader, Augustus Benedetto the 2nd. All workers who are not in the military are payed the same salary, allowing for very little class growth. Those who join the military, which is most of the people, are payed more the higher they go, with the lowest ranked getting a salary lower then the average on land, and the highest ranked getting payed 10x the amount of an average worker. This though, is not all, there is a secret group in the military, known as Mors Piratae, those who are allowed into this group, get payed 2x higher then a general in the army, and are allowed to keep the riches they steal from raids. Thats right, those who are allowed into this secret group are pirates. The Mors Piratae are used to steal everything they can from trade ships, and most of the time, they steal the ship itself. They are allowed to keep the wealth on the ship, but they must give over anything that can be used to advance the nations military to the king.

ESSENTIALS Regionally Dense Population (Population - 1,000,000) - Small amount of manpower for economic and military purposes, but it also means that the social infrastructure is little strain. Educational costs and civic projects tend to be cheap. Economy - Stagnation - The economy is performing adequately, though there is much room for improvement. There are little limitations on the economy that are bottlenecking real growth, such as a lack of funds or resources, tech limits. There is some unemployment and economic unhappiness among people, and there is a degree of criticism in what can go wrong, even if it hasn't gone wrong yet. Urbanisation - Semi-urbanised: There are several towns and a few cities present, ranging from a few hundred to a few thousand inhabitants. Technology - Slowly Modernizing: The industrial infrastructure is in the process of improvement, and this is a teething process. But the economy is seeing increased activity because of this investment. New technologies are becoming domestically available. However, there is a degree of dependence on imports, including in terms of the expertise to modernize the economy. Metallurgy is limited to bronze products. Domestic Political Stability - Quite stable GEOGRAPHY Largely consists of hills and jungle RESOURCES Mineral Deposits - Moderate deposits of metals and minerals. Valuable Mineral Deposits - Trace deposits of rare earth metals, predominately salt. Unique Materials - textiles (linen, lace, some silks), fish oil, pearls Agriculture - crop based, slight food surplus that is increasing over time MILITARY Military Focus - inferior army but excellent navy, relatively decent infantry and cavalry ratio (8:1) Military Recruitment - Hereditary, with certain blood lines born to serve, levies in wartime Reliability - Levies are of decent quality, generals play politics Military Size - Large, relative to population: requires considerable upkeep, harder to equip/supply quickly. Military Technology - Slow Modernisation, your nation lags behind, you are dependent on what you can buy, pillage or otherwise take from others, but have certain fields of expertise. Military Training and Morale - Badly Trained; High Morale, levies have medium morale but are bad at following orders Military Leadership - Competent; Corrupt; Decadent Military Reputation - Popular domestically; considered dangerous by foreigners Siege Equipment - Outdated but effective, seasoned corps of sappers
