Flag you fool

[h2]Introduction[/h2][hr]
Despite the historic precedent of isolationism, the Kingdom of Lumitome, after various social advancements is on the cusp of ditching its several hundred year old monarchy in favor of a modern republican nation-state and taking a more active role in world affairs. The social advances were preceded by industrial revolution, new technologies, new construction and new bills to pay. Saddled with debt, social upheaval and struggling to reconcile the ancient theology of the Kingdoms Arcanists, Lumitome braces itself for change..

 [h3]The State of the Kingdom[/h3]
Young [color=lightblue]Prince Barras[/color], exiled to a monastery high in the Capas Mountains, plots endlessly to seize control of the throne from his stroke-riddled father [color=indianred]King Midoras III[/color] and his court of corrupted ministers. The King, invalid and nearing death has given control to his High Minister, [color=gainsboro]Sir Thomas Blackwell[/color], a cousin of the royal family. Blackwell is a man beholden to the values of Absolutism, and absolutely opposed to this whole 'workers rights' thing. He also had a hand in exiling Prince Barras for attempting to overthrow his father, (in truth Barras was merely trying to prevent Blackwell from seizing power). 

 Meanwhile, in a coastal province, [color=thistle]Princess Atlantea[/color] has taken a handful of retainers, including her tutor, Master Toombs, to the port city of Traevus, where ship builders are nearing to go on a strike. Princess Atlantea hopes to calm the masses before riots erupt in the city and bloodshed ensues.

[h2]Society[/h2][hr]
The Kingdom of Lumitome is divided into several provinces, each ruled by a governor that answers directly to the Monarch and his ministers. The capital city Theedlin, in Sevaro province is where the ruling class meets. The major mining provinces straddle the mountains and the coastal ports are heavily fortified to protect ship-building. 

[h2]Population:[/h2][hr]
 Lumitome is primarily human, with a small ethnic elve population in the heavily forested regions. The elves have no rights to own lands, businesses or property and are subject to the will of the crown. A migration to friendlier lands is currently under way.  

[h3]Social Class:[/h3]
A very rich aristocracy holds power in Lumitome, family and friends of the Monarch, Ministers and Governors. Poverty is rampant in the poorer provinces, and the destitute are flocking to cities in search of manufacturing jobs. The middle class business owners are slowly losing power and tend to squabble more with each other..


[h2]Economy/Industry[/h2][hr]
Lumitome is a world class supplier of raw iron, gutted from the deep mines of ____ . Although airship building is relatively new to the Kingdom, refining the raw materials necessary is not. 

[h2]Military[/h2][hr]
 The Armed Forces of the Kingdom have been waiting for an invasion that has never come for a hundred years. Modern gun emplacements have replaced old mountain fortresses, airfields constructed over farming land, and the bulbous foundries necessary for industrialization have blackened the rivers and coastlines of once idyllic provinces. The military is small, but undergoing extensive retro-fitting at the behest of Minister Thomas Blackwell. 

 The Knights Reva
 Prince Barras' personal guard of 500 men. The Knights Reva are descended from temple knights that protected the treacherous mountain passes from bandits and wild beasts so that pilgrims might reach the mountain top monasteries safely.  

 The Aristocratic Knighthood 
 Aristocratic Knights number in the thousands. Royal retainers, courtiers etc. Young men (no women!) join fencing guilds, shooting clubs and more recently, 'bombadiers' that launch (relatively harmless) bombs at targets in cabbage fields. 
 
 The Royal Navy
 Wip. Transitional- Conventional to Modern (Some units still have sabers and horses) 
 
(Unsurprisingly you must also talk about your military. How militarized are you? What is your army like in general? What kind of equipment you use? Any special units or machines worth mentioning? I think you already know how this goes.)
