Petty states were locked in constant wars for centuries before the powerful Amoury family united them under their banner. Now, for the last several decades, the nation has known nothing but tyranny under them. Being a relatively new nation, forged by conquest and blood, it has little other than the strength of the Amoury family and its relationship to the land's various nobles to hold it together. The numerous different peoples and ethnicities do not get along well, and the military must keep an ever watchful eye on its people. Most of the uprisings come from the south, where clashes of religion mix with problems present across the land. The only modestly developed part of the nation is the seat of Amoury power and capitol of the nation: the city of Bittle. It is a rather idyllic-looking, small city, with beautiful architecture, with the resplendent imperial palace towering over the smaller buildings. Emperor Damian Amoury has recently inherited the throne from his father. For now, it's not clear what kind of ruler he will be, as he has been shielded from court by a plethora of advisors, who hastily prepare him for the challenges of rule before letting him make any decisions himself, a situation Damian is very annoyed with, and the nobility are quite anxious about. He is but eighteen years old, and has yet to find a suitable woman of standing to marry. He has a younger sister, Roxana, who is fourteen years old. She is known for a flighty, spoilt brat. The two siblings do not get along. [b]Government:[/b] Feudal Monarchy - The Emperor draws fealty from his vassal nobles, who rule the land in his stead in exchange for being able to collect part of the lands incomes. [b]Landmass:[/b] [ That large gap of land in the far east, with all those woods, north of Kapitas. Not the straightest lines, but you get the gist. I have everything not already taken in the east, except that clearly uninhabitable stretch of desert, which is the presumed reason for neither the Sultanate nor Caliphate having it. If it is habitable, I'm definitely going to take it. ] [hider=Land Claim] [img]https://i.imgur.com/mFHp674.jpg[/img] [/hider] [b]Points:[/b] -- Population: 112,000,000 (12 points) -- Martial Prowess: (3 Points) -- Cultural Unity: (0 Points) -- Navy: (0 Points) -- Colonies: (0 Points) [b]Foreign Relations:[/b] (( If a nation is not listed here, their relationship with the Sanguine Empire is neutral. )) [u][b]Allied[/b][/u] * The Kingdom of Sinesia [u][b]Friendly[/b][/u] [u][b]Unfriendly[/b][/u] * The Kingdom of Nehelenia [u][b]Enemy[/b][/u]
