Nation name: Jonhfeir Location on map: [hider=My Spoiler][IMG]http://i57.tinypic.com/2cp2pfs.png[/IMG][/hider] Race:Gnomes. Type of government: Oligarchy Faction: Galan League (Trading partner with Norium.) Ruler: BamGardo Bywater (Prime Crafter.) Capital: Fier City (In the South.) History: The Gnome population in Lera used to be small settlements in the small part of the continent were there was vegetation. This all changed when there were valuable resources to be mined in the mountains to the North about a century ago. Soon there was business in mining, supplying lumber and food to the miners, and the shops and craft workers in the middle. Soon there were a few factory owners in the middle section of the bustling nation were able to form a government that were able to control business, especially when there were other nations were discovered over seas and Johnfeir began to export their precious metals. The government, called the Crafters Council, normally only sets policies on business and measurement, using the army force to uphold the laws they do have. Each city will regulate there activity with its own leader ship, as long as the Council sees the city is up to par during their yearly inspection. If a recognized city or settlement is not functioning properly, the government will install its own leader ship, all though, this rarely happens and is unheard of. The Council itself consists of ten members, three of the richest from each of the regions, and then the richest in the land, the Prime Crafter. The current Prime Crafter is a direct descendant of the previous three, who have been doing well in teaching their children their future duty. Though the current system of government has been running smoothly, there has been some contention, Bywaters is growing old and he has no family to pick up his business or to lead the country. Time of change is coming for the young nation. There are four major cities in Johnfeir, each one of the countries three regions. First, there is Fier City to the South, were there is the highest population. Next, in the center there is the trade city of Midville, the trade city of the nation. The next most populated is Portston where the Eastern River empties into the ocean, this is where all ships leave and enter the country. Finally, there is Iron City, where the mining business is the strongest and where most people have flocked to try and "get rich quick". The main form of transport in Johnfeir is a domesticated breed of an animal that looks like a mix between a wolf and a loin called a Barker. Barkers are common only among traders and the small military/police force. They are useful for two reasons, first they can travel long distances at a high speed, and they are very ferocious fighting animals. Barker's were traditionally used for hunting before the gigantic economic boom. Done. I hope this is okay, being my first real nation C.S. Please tell me if I need to add something.
