Gonna just shove my work in progress in here to show I'm actually doing stuff. Ignore the fact it looks trashy right now, I have more scribbles in a doc that I'm adding. XD [hider=Work in progress] [center][img]https://i.imgur.com/yHti6CQ.png[/img][/center][h3][center][b]Royal Realm of Rosecordia[/b][/center][/h3] [center][b]Government[/b][/center] The Royal Realm of Rosecordia is a monarchical dictatorship, however it's close enough to a military dictatorship that it may as well be one. Whilst the king, presently King David Wyro, is the ultimate authority of Rosecordia, he does have ministers underneath him that are delegated for their specific departments, such as the Ministry of Education, as well as his own personal advisors. The ministers have the power to run their departments as they see fit, making what changes they feel are necessary for the best performance, however laws themselves must be approved by the King. The children of the monarch has a limited amount of dictatoral power, however do have a lot of influence. They often go between departments, observing them to take note of their functions and the usefulness of not just the ministries but the ministers themselves, so that as a future King or Queen they could make informed decisions. [center][b]Demographics[/b][/center] The primary demographic for the Royal Realm of Rosecordia are Humans, who take up the vast majority of the population. Other races come from those who have immigrated into the nation, which treats all of it's inhabitants equally (and with the same scrutiny). The population of Humans is at a steady incline from births, whilst other races' inclines primarily come from immigration though also with a slow birthrate due to having not been a significant count of the population from the beginning. Immigration itself is not challenging; All who wish to live in the nation can do so by registering with their local immigrations office in order to obtain an immigration permit, which requires them to obtain a job within three months. The immigrations permit must be renewed every three months. After one year within Rosecordia, one could apply for citizenship, which reviews the immigrant's time within the nation and determines whether or not to grant them citizenship, usually based on factors such as their living situation (if they're paying rent and taxes on time) and their ability to sustain themselves (such as their amount of time unemployed versus employed). [center][b]Society[/b][/center] The easiest way to describe the society of the Royal Realm of Rosecordia is [i]Willing Opression[/i]. When the original colonist flotilla crashed on the Riftworld there was panic, and forces from the escorting heavy cruiser (known as the [i]Magma Freezer[/i]) had to maintain control, martial law enacted by the original colony administrator, Michael Levingoski. Once everything had settled, the military maintained control to prevent riots and panic whilst everything was offloaded from the colony ships and the colony first started. Today, the same control still reigns true, yet people accept it because it makes them feel secure in a still very unknown world, particularly with no way off of the world. The military and police services are seen as very respectable lines of work, with many of the population hailing them as having done the right thing a millennia ago in establishing control. Of course, there is also an opposition, a portion of the population who feels that having such a militarised structure is harmful to Rosecordia. The Rulerless Rosecordian Movement is a legal movement, albeit does contain some radicalists whom are the primary ones responsible for a few high-profile attacks and distruption throughout Rosecordia. The radical side of the movement is classified as a threat to Rosecordia, however the peaceful and civil side of it remains begrudgingly accepted by Rosecordians as a whole. Every Rosecordian citizen can agree on one thing, however; their dislike of frogs. And not just any frogs, but those of the Kroak, on Rosecordian's eastern border. Rosecordia as a whole blames the Kroak for the death of Queen Savanna Wyro, and was on a knife's edge with starting a war with the Kroak. As a result, several public events are hosted to take out anger on the Kroak, such as Frog Day, where Rosecordians take delight in consuming frog-related delicacies, such as Frog's legs. Rosecordians on the eastern border often picnic as close to the border as they can on Frog Day with their frog snacks. [center][b]Military[/b][/center] The Military forces of Rosecordia are split into several branches, each with their respective leadership, though ultimately reporting to Ministry of Defense. The only exceptions to this are the Royal Rosecordian Police Force and the Royal Rosecordian Coast Guard, the both of which report to the Ministry of Civil Security, which in turn reports to the Ministry of Defense in times of war. Rosecordia's military are tech-heavy. Many of it's troops outside of the frontline grunts have very specialised roles, and are experienced in those roles with constant training and incentive to perform to the best of their abilities. [hider=Royal Rosecordian Police Force] [center][b]Royal Rosecordian Police Force[/b][/center] Though not a part of the actual military forces, the Royal Rosecordian Police Force are the primary force responsible for the prevention of crime within Rosecordia's borders. Despite this, foreigners often mistake them for military due to their heavily militarised equipment and methods when it comes to performing their duties, with training almost on-par with the training that troops of Rosecordia's actual military branches go through. Their primary distinction is their equipment, which holds a lot more non-lethal and less-than-lethal than the police force's military counterparts, as well as police insignia displayed on the equipment and uniforms. Despite their reporting to the Ministry of Civil Security, most infractions are met with a response that is anything but civil. The police force is known to utilise heavy-handed tactics; If someone resists, they can expect to be met with brutal force. [/hider] [Hider=Royal Rosecordian Coast Guard] [center][b]Royal Rosecordian Coast Guard[/b][/center] Like the police force, the Royal Rosecordian Coast Guard are not a full part of the Rosecordian military, however share close ties with the Rosecordian navy. The Rosecordian Coast Guard primarily operate small boats, though do have a few larger ships. Their primary duties are rescues, as well as law enforcement on the waters, and security on the close shores of Rosecordia. [/hider] [hider=Royal Rosecordian Army] [center][b]Royal Rosecordian Army[/b][/center] The Royal Rosecordian Army is the primary military force of Rosecordia, their duties primarily focusing on ground control. They have some arial assets, however the skies are mostly dominated by the Royal Rosecordian Air Force, and the Royal Rosecordian Navy dominating Rosecordian waters. Due to their focus on ground confrontation, their equipment is very heavy compared to their arial and naval counterparts. [/hider] [hider=Royal Rosecordian Air Force] [center][b]Royal Rosecordian Air Force[/b][/center] The regulars of the Royal Rosecordian Air Force are perhaps the most trained of all of the Rosecordian military branches. The air force relies on both small craft, as well as large, and even super-large craft in order to control the skies. The latter are often less in number than the former pair, but are a formidable force. As well as controlling the air, the Royal Rosecordian Air Force make up a large contribution to the Rosecordian Special Forces, with shock troops and often being at the front of testing new technologies. [/hider] [hider=Royal Rosecordian Navy] [center][b]Royal Rosecordian Navy[/b][/center] With a large sea to the north, Rosecordia ensures that it's naval power is strong in order to defend it's waters, utilising a wide range of ships to do so. The navy additionally hosts the Naval Marines, utilising them both as shipboard security, as well as it's primary combat contingent for engagements on dry land when necessary, such as shore engagements and island control. [/hider] List of Important People: [hider=Important People] [hider=Royals] [center][b]King David Wyro[/b][/center] King David is the head of state of the Royal Realm of Rosecordia. He was previously married to Queen Savanna Wyro before she lost her life. Together, they brought into the world three daughters, and one son. [center][b]Princess Lily Wyro[/b][/center] The firstborn child of King David, and heir to the throne, Princess Lily is the eldest of King David's children. Therefore, her focus is distributed amongst the ministries, learning their purposes and getting ready to direct them as a queen in the future. [center][b]Princess Gemma Wyro[/b][/center] The secondborn child of King David, Princess Robyn takes interest in the cultures of other nations. Under an agreement between the Rosecordia and Norshao, Robyn is due to be married to the high king of Norshao, something that she chose to do willingly. [center][b]Princess Robyn Wyro[/b][/center] The thirdborn child of King David, and the youngest of the princesses, Princess Gemma already had two sisters ahead of her that she had to try and get even with. She joined the military, namely the Royal Rosecordian Air Force, as both a way for her to make use of her time, and to bolster her own reputation. [center][b]Prince Arthur Wyro[/b][/center] As the first and only son of King David, Arthur's arrival to the world was celebrated throughout Rosecordia. He is also the youngest of the royal family, at just fifteen years old. [/hider] [hider=Military and Civilitary] [center][b]High Secretary Marcus Kiral; Head of the Ministry of Civility[/b][/center] After a career in the Royal Rosecordian Police Force, Marcus Kiral departed from service, instead entering the Ministry of Civility. He soon climbed the ranks of the Ministry, becoming the High Secretary. [center][b]High Secretary Edward Laptro; Head of the Ministry of Defence[/b][/center] Like his counterpart in the Ministry of Civility, Edward Laptro was previously a member of active service, though he was active as an officer in the Royal Rosecordian Army. At the rank of Major, Edward was medically discharged from the army after becoming wounded in action. He was swiftly picked up by the Ministry of Defence, and climbed the ladder. [center][b]General Robert Namara; Chief of Staff, Royal Rosecordian Army[/b][/center] It's well known that General Namara's success is in part due to royal influence, specifically that of the office of Princess Lily, however that is not to say that he isn't an experienced tactician. [center][b]General Thomas Drake; Chief of Staff, Royal Rosecordian Air Force[/b][/center] When he was still in the seat, General Drake was known as god's personal fighter pilot. His skills in the cockpit, ironically, caused him to rapidly be promoted [i]out[/i] of the cockpit, and into an office chair instead. Though loathing the lack of a joystick, he is known to be a very receptive and respectful officer. [center][b]Admiral Amelia Frechette; Chief of Staff, Royal Rosecordian Navy[/b][/center] Known for doing it all, frechette started in the Rosecordian Coast Guard, and then transferred to the navy as a midshipwoman. She was passed from ship to ship as she was promoted higher and higher, and for a time refused to leave her last post, the aircraft carrier [i]Kitril Strings[/i]. After a time, she finally let herself be placed into the seat of the Chief of Staff. [center][b]Admiral Joshua Arnold; Chief of Staff, Royal Rosecordian Coast Guard[/b][/center] Admiral Arnold is a fossil who is twelve years past the age of retirement. A firm believer in working until you can't, he still carries out his duties to the best of his abilities; Being stuck in an daily office helps with that. [center][b]Chief Constable Chyler Orenski; Chief of Staff, Royal Rosecordian Police Force[/b][/center] Originally, Chyler Orenski served in the Royal Rosecordian Army, however changed career path to the Royal Rosecordian Police Force after a gunman killed her younger sister. The Police Force was close to changing tactics due to efforts by the Rulerless Rosecordian Movement when she took over, and had it remain in it's effective hands-on methods. [/hider] [hider=Others / Uncategorized] [center][b]ROSA; Rosecordia Operations and Security Administrator[/b][/center] The Rosecordia Operations and Security Administrator is not actually a computer, but an artificial intelligence, designed to assist in the running of Rosecordia. Whilst many roles still exist, in order to provide jobs for the people, ROSA is used to improve efficiency around the board, from organising garbage truck routes, to handling logistics in military operations - for this purpose, the military often utilises mobile ROSA units, which aren't so much ROSA instances themselves but relays that connect to the primary ROSA servers hidden within Rosecordia.
