Throwing this up here. I'll add it to the character tab if I get approval.


[b]- Nation's Name:[/b] Deutschland

[b] -Leader's/Government's Name:[/b] Caleb Yoder 

Yoder and two other elders are representatives for the community appointed by the population to serve their interest. Like the old New England Town Meeting form of government, the population as a whole vote on decisions while the Elders carry out their wishes.

[b] -Territory:[/b] Western Pennsylvania 

[b] -Description of Technology:[/b] Like the past hundreds of years, Deutschland has very little technology outside of the recently acquired guns, gas masks, and medicine that the people have scavenged from nearby cities, or traded for with the English. They get by on manual labor and literal horsepower. 

[b]-Description of Society- [/b]

Deutschland is the remnants of the Pennsylvania Dutch, the Amish community in the state. While the world collapsed around them, they banded together and became even more insular, shunning the English and the wickedness that had allowed the world to end. Unfortunately, the outside world came calling in the form of raiders who stole their food and people, and the infected who wiped out their strong population. The once passive people now saw the need to protect themselves, they needed to adopt a few ways of the English to survive. They now highly militant and even more standoffish with the rest of the world. They trade with nearby communities, but will not allow outsiders inside their lands. Led by Caleb Yoder as First Elder, Deutschland continues to rebuild and grow stronger.

[b]- Population – 4,621 [/b]

[b]-Industries:[/b] The Amish have reputations as skilled craftsman. They are experts in subjects ranging from carpentry and smithing to baking and sewing. In addition, they are well adept at farming and have a steady supply of food that they grow for consumption and trade.
