Still WIP, but if we're starting we're starting. [hider] Name of Nation: Reich Von Rotteburg Government: Absolute Monarchy Species: [hider=Kudruni] [img]https://pre00.deviantart.net/5f1d/th/pre/f/2017/351/3/e/worng_end_waspy_ref_by_parallaxabomination-dbx1shn.png[/img] Kaiser Madenhelm The Kudruni are an insectoid species, with an external skeleton, pincers on their mouth, and two sets of arms. They have compound eyes as well. They usually stand at 4 foot 6 to 5 foot 8. Many are around the 5 foot mark. Further, they are digitigrade. Common in the area of Rotteburg, they are relatively rare in other areas due to a tendency to stick to their homeland. [/hider] Culture: The Reich is fiercely independent, and this shows in their culture. They are a proud people. Slavery, in their mind, is a worse fate than death. It is fitting, then, that they have produced some of the greatest minds of the last century. From poets, composers, and philosophers, to engineers, architects, and generals. They follow a religious doctrine based on Kratoria’s religion, with edits made according to their beliefs. For instance, they are considered a heretic branch, due to not worshipping Kratoria’s pantheon. History: In the earliest years, the lands that would become the Reich were conquered by Kratoria. Mistreated due to their differences in species, they grew to be extremely independent. Eventually, in a series of riots, an act was passed in Kratoria that granted the area that would become Rotteburg independence from the empire, but in small, purposely unaligned states that would bicker and never become powerful enough to threaten the empire. They remained this way, in fractured states ever-bickering, until close to the end of the 19th century. Then, in a masterful series of moves, the peoples of Phalia, a powerful state in the Rotteburg area, began to unify the states. Under master diplomats, they crowned a Kaiser in direct defiance of the Kratorian laws binding their independence, and then organized a war against Kratoria. With military genius, they used trains to ensure that they always had more soldiers and equipment on the field than Kratoria, and despite being outgunned and outnumbered overall, they managed to repeatedly surround and defeat Kratorian armies. In the end, Kratoria agreed to their terms and the Reich was formally born. The way had not only broken them free of binding treaties, but it also gave the bickering states a single enemy, it made them one people. Overnight, the Reich was born.
