[b][u]National Description[/u][/b]

	The Memoital Commonwealth is a nation steeped in history, once surrounded by heathens and heretics, but the growing trend towards secularism in the modern world, those troubles have long since passed. What did not pass, however, was Man's tendency to wage war. The Memoitals carved out a piece of the world for themselves through centuries of conflict, fighting the heathens and heretics until they managed to become one of the premier powers in the world. When the last great war came, with all its destruction and devastation, Memoital was left standing as one of the two remaining nations wielding any real power. A Superpower to be rivaled only by one other.

	These days, Memoital is a sprawling, heavily urbanized nation whose army was downsized after the end of the last great conflict in order to allow soldiers to return to their homes. They are a hard-working, disciplined people with a particular value for education and technology, but now standing on the apex of the world, has found itself mired in rampant corruption combined with a series of once-conquered cultures and peoples vying for equal treatment under the law. Everyone in Memoital seems to want a piece of the pie, and they seem like they're capable of doing anything to get it.

[b][u]The Party of Bernard[/u][/b]

	The Party of Bernard is known by many names. The Old Party. The Originators. The Prideful. Once upon a time, they were nearly unmatched in their level of control over Memoital, tracing their origins to Prince Bernard; an incredibly esteemed and powerful would-be Monarch that decided to end the Monarchy and institute a representational republic.

	These days, and as always, the Party of Bernard stands first and foremost for the advancement of the Memoital people. However, with the ongoing issues of cronyism, and the ever-growing troubles with civil rights in the country combined with the heating tensions with the rival superpower, among prior troubles, the Old Party has lost much of its control of the Legislature and indeed, the Commonwealth itself. But it is when someone is most down on their luck that they may once more rise to the occasion, just as Prince Bernard did so long ago.
