Name of Nation: The Princely State of Mehrsaba

Government: Confederate Union of Principalities 

Species: Humans

Culture: 
The land of Mehrsaba has long been divided into small pockets of influences ruled by princes along with a large peasant population. While border disputes had occurred at times, the principalities rarely mobilized non-professional mercenaries and, as such, much of the people do not hold any significant martial values. What the Mehrsabian peasantry lacked in war, they made up for with the expertise in the usage of the lands and the seas. Centuries of mining, farming, fishing, and animal husbandry has allowed them to survive to the present day however the new century seems to be daunting to this relic of the past.

Economy:
Within recent times, global trade has given riches to the surviving dynasties by allowing them to sell their lands’ resources while exploiting the peasantry for cheap labor, earning them the nickname of “Slaverprinces” amongst the more disenfranchised population. The coffers of the ruling princes have filled themselves to brim, but the country itself is rife with economic hardship for most. 

Technology:
Though they’ve had communication with the outside world at times, the state had limited trade to certain seaports and border cities. Those that did not live in those cities had no clue what existed outside their borders due to strict serfdom, effectively putting the state in isolation. Only now with increased trading have the majority of the populace even realize how advanced other nations are.

Army:
The princes had experienced an arms race of sorts in recent times among themselves. What few resources didn’t get sold to other countries were used to equip the mercenary armies, known as the Pomestnoe Vojsko, with swords, halberds, cannons, and muskets. In theory, Mehrsaba could punch above its weight class if they needed to but good luck uniting the princes to a singular cause. 

Due to recent developments, such as the disproportionate amount of weapons to manpower, the princes have introduced programs to train the younger men of the peasantry class in operating firearms. These peasants are known as Streltsy militia, and are used to reinforce the mercenary armies as needed.

Navy:
The naval capabilities of Mehrsaba are a natural extension of their princes’ ocean trade history as raiders, known as Ushkuiniks. Being a raider-sailor is perhaps one of the few great opportunities a peasant can enjoy due to a guaranteed meal a day. With that being said, the Mehrsabian state has attempted to buy more modern ships from more advanced nations as well as training their peasantry to be able to man these vessels. 

Air Force: 
An innovative technology from overseas, airplanes were being bought by the princes of Mehrsaba from other countries faster than the builders could make airfields for them. Due to its complex nature, pilots are usually from the educated upper class burghers or from the royal families themselves as the peasantry will need time to adapt to it.
