[hider= The Kingdom of Alpian]
[b]Name:[/b] Alpian
[b]Location:[/b] Western Forests
[b]Society:[/b] Known as 'The Alpian Family', 'The Land of Fondness', and, occasionally, 'The Weepy-Eyed Kingdom', Alpian is notable for its overwhelming sense of egalitarianism and national camaraderie. The Royal Family, though they may lack in wisdom, more than compensate with generosity and compassion, and all prospective lords are taught to treat their subjects as beloved children. Massive amounts of coin are sunk into charity and public works projects yearly - leading to the perhaps predictable result that the land is, militarily and economically, a complete joke.
[b]Unique Notes:[/b] The Kingdom of Alpian is notable in one other respect - the king's court of knights known as the Alpian Brotherhood. This select band of warriors is said to consist of only the finest warriors in the land (admittedly, not a contested position), and are devout in their service of chivalry, justice, and the people of their nation. Legend holds that it is the Brotherhood's task to watch the rulers of the land closely, and remove them if they show signs of corruption - such intervention, however, had not been necessary for some time now.
[b]Other:[/b] The student of history may wonder why the kingdom of Alpian has endured so long, given that they appear to have neither the skill, funds, or stomach to defend themselves from invasion. The likely reason is twofold - first, they have barely anything worth having, given as they consist of a few dozen small forest villages and one large city in the center of the territory, with little in the way of natural bounty. The second reason is a superstition - it is a belief held by many that the woods around Alpian are enchanted, and the spirits of the forest love the land dearly. This is almost certainly untrue, but it's likely that a few prospective conquerors have been turned off from the meager land by the threat of an attack by fairies and goblins.

Aaand here's the nation where my character's from. Anyone else can feel free to use it how they like, provided they don't diverge too much from the spirit of the thing.
