Religion present, but not controlling or overly prominent. Government is a federation counsel with a single ruler
Perhaps we would be allies? If we either shared a similar religion or your ruler was related to my emperor.

Summery: The Courbonnais government is a powerful entity that ruled by a hereditary Emperor with three councils below him, the hereditary noble houses, the technocratic council, and an elected council formed by men chosen every 3 years in an election any landowner may participate in. The rule of the Emperor is absolute with his word as law though as history has shown most in the modern era head well advice from the various councils. Individual rights are apparent though curtailed in various areas as well with wealthy landowners having greater personnel freedom than the lower classes who. The government is increasingly imperialistic in policy overtaking nearby lands and when possible and attempting to dominate air and naval trade lanes to maintain the high standard of living of the country.
Economy:
Capitalism -2- Communism
Private -3- Public
Inequality -3- Equality
Summery: The Velosian people who make up the core of the Dominion were strong believers in the strength of the individual and using that strength to empower the whole. This lead to a strong merchant class early on. With the wave of industrialization though the economy almost faced collapse and as a result the government has been forced to step in to maintain various structures such as oversight on the banking system to avoid such dangers again. Much of the original idea remains though with industrialists and merchants striving outwards ever more to acquire more wealth and then moving that wealth in the Dominion's economy to strengthen the country.
Society:
Open -2- Closed
Liberal -2- Conservative
Tolerant -2- Intolerant
Summery: Courbonnain society is based from 4 distinct cultures and is affected by the cultures of the smaller city-states and nations it absorbed as well. This amalgamation resulted in a generally understanding and open society with strong beliefs towards judging on merit before all else. There is an official religion based on the pantheon of the old Aldros Empire but is followed by less than 40% of the nation. The official language is only known in the far corners of the Dominion part due to the standardized schooling system put in place barely a generation ago. Overall the nation is accepting so long as you look towards making the Dominion itself stronger due to nationalism which has slowly been growing since the beginnings of industrialization.

- Coat of Arms:
- Size: 1,600,000
- Branches:
- - Army: 1,000,000
Long the core of the defense of The Dominion the army has a great and storied history. The army favors a general doctrine of wide front warfare with armored spearheads to punch deep into enemy territory on offensive operations. Defensively they are drilled to dig in on any defensible position and set up large numbers of mortars and field guns. Discipline is favored by most standing units fighting the hard line combat. Thanks to the industrialization the regiments of the army are well equipped with modern small arms and a large ratio of field guns to infantry formations while armored formations are dedicated units meant to break through and exploit weak points then role up enemy flanks as infantry units advance behind them.
Equipment
Frieper 37 - The standard issue pistol of the Dominion Armed Forces. It is a double-action pistol with a a high muzzle velocity and fires a 10mm round from a 9 round magazine. Known for it's reliability and ruggidness the pistol quickly caught on as a secondary weapon within the armed forces and is now produced in vast quantities.
Tournier 27 - A single action 10mm revolver still in use by the Dominion Armed Forces. It has largely been replaced by the Frieper 37 model pistol though. It is predominatly used by pilots or personnel not likely to engage in frontline combat or need a weapon capable of taking a savage beating while still functioning.
Fusiline 29 - Formerly the standard rifle of the Dominion Armed Forces though now being replaced by the Fusiline 38. The Fusiline 29 is a bolt action 7.5mm rifle with a muzzle velocity approaching 1,000 m/s making it highly accurate and lethal and long ranges. As a result even though in standard use it has been almost completely phased out marsmen and sharpshooters still commonly use it and is a well liked civilian rifle.
Fusiline 38 - Newest rifle in use by the Dominion Army the Fusiline 38 is a semi-automatic Gas-operated, rotating bolt rifle. Chambering the same 7.5mm round as the Fusiline X it is effective out past 500m and in skilled hands with a scope can consistently strike a man sized target at such ranges. It feeds from a 10 round box magazine with a high reliability and is tested extensively for use in mud or sand.
Bref Fusiline 39 - Designed for use in more compact spaces the Bref Fusiline X is a cut down version of the Fusiline 38. It's size is reduced to less than 1,000mm and fires the same cartridge as the Fusiline 38. It is meant for specialized uses such as artillery crews and paratroopers.
Bref Matriline 37 - Standard submachinegun of the Dominion Armed Forces the Bref Matriline 37 is a short compact weapon firing 10mm pistol rounds from a 25 round box magazine or 50 round drum magazine though the drum magazine is rarely seen in use outside the Imperial Guard. The range is only 200 meters though that is sufficient for it's use to clear out enclosed spaces such as trenches or aboard ships.
Matrilien 36 - Firing a 7.5mm high velocity round the Matrilien 36 is the machinegun of choice for the Dominion Armed Forces. It is a gas-operated open bolt design with an effective range of 2,000 meters. The standard cartridges has light anti-material capability with more powerful cartridges commonly carried capable of penetrating through most light armor though due to size and weight requires two men to carry.
IVK-series
Slowly being phased out or upgraded the IVK series of tanks was the first major tank series launched by the Dominion and was produced in vast quantities being steadily upgraded over time. It now serves many roles and is still the most common tank in the Dominion Army with a dozen variants still in use.
C/IVK-150 - Armed with a 150mm howitzer this variant acts as close range artillery support for infantry with a 150mm gun replacing the turret gun, it is open topped which makes it more vulnerable to infantry however. The hull mounted gun is a 90mm howitzer which increases it's line of fight firepower even more and has two 20mm autocannons in sponsons on the sides
LK/T/IVK-T - This variant one of the newest and is produced in small numbers so far, the hull mounted weapon is removed leaving only two 20mm autocannons in sponsons and a 75mm tesla cannon as the main weapon. This is designed as a tank hunter where even if the first shot does not penetrate it will ablate much of the armor of the impact zone as well as superheat the metal causing fractures and spalling of the armor.
LK/IVK-100 - The most common IVK variant this one carries a 100mm gun firing high velocity anti-tank shells. With 120mm of frontal armor it has solid anti-tank power and also carries the standard 20mm autocannons and a 90mm howitzer in the front. The armor is upgraded from the original and as a result the overall speed has been reduced to 40KPH.
TVK-100
One of two new medium tank designs recently begun production and distribution within the Dominion the TVK-100 has 150mm of frontal armor and a 100mm main gun as well as a top speed of 60KPH. This gives it solid reliable firepower, protection, and above average speed when compared to most contemporaries.
TVK-125
The second of the new line of medium tank designs. This one is armed with the 125mm gun with a higher velocity the gun is quite fearsome even at long ranges. The armor is also increased to 200mm and while it has a larger engine the overall speed drops to 55 KPH and is worse over soft ground.
CVK-2 Heavy Self-Propelled Gun
Armed with a 175mm howizter and thick armor the CVK-2 is a breakthrough tank. It has a slow top speed and the high weight make traversing soft ground difficult but excels at destroying hardened targets from enemy armor to fortifications and carries a large payload of High Explosive shells making it highly effective as direct fire artillery on infantry. It is seen mostly with infantry formations supporting them.
CVK-3 Heavy Self-Propelled Gun
Developed concurrently with the CVK-2 it shares the same turret however the 175mm howitzer is instead married to a quadrepedal chassis allowing it to traverse higher slopes and more difficult terrain at the cost of speed.
AVK-7 Heavy Assault Gun
Armed with a 155mm gun and mounting 500mm of frontal armor the AVK-7 is one of the largest and most heavily armed and armored armored units employed by the Courbonnais Army. It is designed to shrug off even the heaviest enemy guns with even the side armor exceeding 250mm is depth though the slow speed limits it capabilties to infantry support as it is easily outpaced by most other armored vehicles.
A/LKVK-6 Medium Tank Destroyer
The A/LKVK-6 is one of the most commonly seen AFVs in infantry formations of the Dominion Armed Forces. A tank destroy capable of operating as an assault gun it lends significant firepower to infantry formations where the turretless design can be easily supported by infantry. Armed with a high velocity 100mm gun it generally utilizes HVAP ammunition to better destroy opposing tanks at long range even when heavily armored. It has a top speed of 65KPH making it a highly mobile weapons platform.
LKVK-7 Medium Tank Destroyer
A modern tank destroyer armed with a 125mm gun it carries almost exclusively HVAP rounds mean to engage tanks about it's own weight class or hide and ambush opposing armored columns. It's armor is rather thin though has a powerful engine allowing it to reach 75KPH rather quickly. With it's gun and speed this tank destroyer is able to be moved into and out of battle easily able to decapitate enemy deep strikes and withdraw before pitched battle can commence.
DVK-1 Heavy Tank Destroyer
The newest AFV to see mass production and the first of it's type. Armed with a monstorous 200mm main gun and a pair od turreted 90mm guns on either side along with 2 paired autocannons to either side and 2 forward mounted autocannons. The armor is spaced and 300mm thick at the front. the turret cannot rotate fully rotate but is a second line weapon as it is a tank destroyer rather than an actual tank meant to destroy the largest and most powerful enemy tanks fielded.
LP 20
A 20mm rapid fire high velocity autocannon used for anti-aircraft capability generally used in groups of 4.
LP/H 75
75mm long range anti-fighter/airship cannon with a long flat trajectory to make accurate fire against weak points on airships possible.
LK/LP/H 100
Originally designed as a self-propelled anti-aircraft gun mounting the LP 90mm cannon the high velocity and flat trajectory that made it so effective against both airships and fighters also leant it to anti-tank capability and after a short battery of field tests has begun deployment as such being circulated throughout infantry formations.
LK/LP NK 100
A self-propeled anti-tank and anti-aircraft weapon meant to provide direct support to infantry formations. It is a basic chassis with the highly effective LK/LP 90 married onto it.
Towed Artillery guns
The Dominion Armed Forces utilize long range gun batteries in 100, 150, 200, and 250mm sizes as well as 50 and 100mm mortars employing them in very large numbers with company sized units often having attached batteries and regiments generally fielding more than one battalion of towed guns.
- - Navy: 500,000
Dece Interceptor
A lightning fast and nimble single engine aircraft the Dece is armed with 4x 20mm guns and a maximum payload of 500 kg. It's range is only 1,000km with a max speed of nearly 1,000 km/h. It has a rate of climb of 35m/s with a ceiling of 15,000m. it's strength relies largely in it's maneuverability as it can outturn most fighters it would engage.
Fiadre Heavy Fighter
A twin engine fighter armed with 2x 20mm cannons and 6x 10mm guns. It has a maximum payload of 2,500 kg. The maximum range is 3,500 kilometers and max speed of 750km/h with a climb rate of 25 m/s and ceiling of 15,000m making it a a very powerful fighter with good range and speed thanks to the powerful engines.
Tonnerre Heavy Bomber
A four engine bomber with a 10 man crew meant for long range high altitude saturation bombing. With a maximum range of 5,000km and ceiling of 15,000m it can strike at far away targets at a height many AA guns will have difficulty firing at. It has a maximum payload of 5,000kg and speed of 500km/h.
Chasseur-class Destroyer
Designed to screen larger ships or hunt down ships of the same or smaller class it is very fast with 4 large engines. It is armed with 24 turreted 150mm guns giving it good fire all around for shredding lightly armored vessels or fighters. When engaging larger vessels where the 150mm guns would be more difficult to use it carries 10 tubes for firing long range aerial torpedoes and rockets. Each side also has 3 forward aimed tubes set off-center and there are 4 rear facing tubes as well making it all around a fearsome predator of the skies.
Marteau-class Battleship
In many ways an enlargened Chasseur with 15 turreted 500mm guns positioned along the mainline. It's secondary armaments are 20x 100mm guns, 24x 50mm guns, and 50x 20mm guns for engaging manner of targets. It has the same large style of engines allowing it for a high speed though armor on it follos the "all or nothing" doctrine with only key areas being armored more than minor amounts.
Imparable-class Aircraft Carrier
Few in number the Imparable-class can carry as many as 100 aircraft in 10 squadrons of 10 though depending on aircraft carried is often fewer. Generally escorted by entire squadrons of smaller destroyers it is armed with 10 turreted 50mm guns and 50 turreted 20mm guns spread across it to defend against rockets, aerial torpedoes, and fighters. If engaged at close range by a large enemy vessel it carries a single forward turreted 750mm auto-loading cannon mostly meant to scare off any who would engage it with surprising firepower.
The Navy has generally tried to compete with the Army for funding and resources and until recently generally lost out. The need for a long range combat navy to maintain trade lanes and build an empire has resulted in large and sudden growth for the navy with new airships and naval ships being laid down regularly. Their doctrine is still roughly setup and based mostly on foreign information rather than years of experience as the army is. Their readiness is high though as they are eager to prove themselves as valuable or more so than their land based counterparts.
- - Dread Guard: 100,000
The most elite soldiers of the Army are cherry picked from the academies and battlefields to be placed in the Dread Guard regiments. 20 hardened fighting regiments, 5 armored and 15 infantry they are armed and armored far above that of the standard line soldier.
- Readiness:
At peacetime readiness due to increasingly imperialistic tendencies the national standing military is ready to rapidly prepare for offensive operations or react in defensive operations against foreign invasions or rebels.
Territory: http://i.imgur.com/FrlodcI.png
Important Locations:
- Velos: The capitol city of The Dominion of Courbonnais a large multi-million population center south of the Noir Mountains between the Marel and Durants Rivers. It's prosperity has largely grown ever since liberation from the ancient Alduan Empire. The old city still shows over half a dozen different architecural styles from the many years.
- Grey Fields: The the east of the Noir Mountains located in northern Courbonnais there stands a vast industrial complex stretching over kilometers. Defended by the Dread Guard itself and an entire fleet of aerial warships this is the center of Courbonnais industrial capability. Throughout the day trains and airships move workers into and out of the vast track of factories and workshops. Plans are constantly being drawn up to expand it ever outwards allowing it to produce ever more industrial and military goods.
- Port Vunabid: In the west of the country Port Vunabid is the largest military port situated at the head of the Marel River
- Port Bourdiex: Situated in the south at the head of the Durant River it is the largest trading port in the country.
History:
The Dominion of Courbonnais can trace it's roots back for thousands of years to the city states of the Courbonnais region when they warred, traded, and generally interacted mostly amongst themselves caring little for the outside world. The expansive region with large amounts of good arable land, a significant population, and moderate resources stood independent aside from various alliances the city states struck between one another for centuries. This organized chaos lasted for quite some time until a new empire began to be forged on the peninsula to the east.
The twin cities of Avencass and Lavendass were the first to fall to the Alduan Empire the often seasonal armies of Courbonnais could not match the professional heavy infantry in the field and the superb engineers of Alduas constructed powerful siege weapons to batter down the gates of the walled Courbonnain cities. The natural infighting of the region only accelerated the conquest as no alliance could be forged until most of the region was within their grasp. By then they still could not halt the inexorable conquest. Seemingly daily cities fell either to diplomacy or warfare surrendering to the power and wealth that was the ever growing Alduan Empire. Over the course of nearly 50 years the entire region was conquered and pacified.
The pacification process never really took solid hold of the region though. The Emperor of Alduas forever had to keep his eyes on the region and his armies ready to march against any rebellions. The Emperor tried to incentivize turning on the more disloyal elements over the decades and centuries but neither the peasantry nor the nobility had interest in supporting the Empire. In time they went from trying to reward those who would aid them to punishing everyone. Taxes were larger, more and more men were levied to fill the armies, and every resource that could be was stripped from the region. This only further engendered displeasure with the Empire and made the people incite other regions to fight back where they could. Open rebellion was rare, it was always the minorest of cuts to bleed the empire a little.
Eventually the Empire decided a foreign enemy was necessary to tie together the various expanses of the empire. To the north into the great plains and steppes lived the horse lords, there had been minor forays against them but the superior cavalry had dissuaded any serious attempts at conquest thus far. With Velos and her sister cities bleeding the Empire more as the decades passed and encouraging other regions to fight back they were becoming a larger and larger issue as years passed and the empire grew fat and stagnant on it's past successes. A massive invasion was launched against the horse lords they pushed in all the way to the first river of the great plains defeating several hordes at great cost. There though things changed, the native Courbonnain auxiliaries wished to return home. The general of the army threatened to kill them all though and kept them advancing. At the river during a massive crossing the horse lords launched a counter attack, as the Alduan soldiers tried to rally the Courbonnain auxiliaries struck from behind trapping the Alduan forces in the river and on it's banks where the horse lords and Courbonnain men cut them apart.
It was here a minor alliance was struck and the seeding of the largest rebellion in the history of the Empire took place. Together the horse lords and the Courbonnain struck south cleansing the Alduan presence from the plains and Velos lead a union of cities in raising new armies and their flags in open revolt. When the Alduan forces began to lose ground every city and every region seemed to come together with the simple idea of crushing Alduas. With victory eventually assured Velos began to act to forge the future of the Dominion.
The then ruler of Velos declared himself first king of Velos, High King Barrabois married off his three sons to other major cities and secured alliances through diplomacy and struck out with their combined army to secure everything between the Marel and Durant rivers in effect giving him the core of Courbonnais. From there he began the expansion almost immediatly all of Courbonnais was under his thumb. Alduas had not even been razed yet when High King Barrabois invaded Molitan to the west. With much of Molitan's forces to the east fighting in the Alduan homeland it was largely a swift conquest though to this day there is still a region which holds out at the Millas river delta.
Barrabois was extremely opportunistic and emboldened by the immediate successes even if forces were bogged down to the east now and the offensive there stalled. All Courbonnais cities not directly controlled by Velos or tied by marriage were brought militarily under the power of Velos before the armies swept east and north. Three-fourths of Bardosia was conquered and occupied before Courbonnais struck north at the horse lords in a betrayal they have still not forgiven. Gains were made at first but then stalled. Alduas had been razed but a new empire now stood across much of the land it once held. This did allow the land to one day recover though and is now a part of the alliances that opposed the Dominion's further expanse.
For over a thousand years now the Dominion of Courbonnais has now stood though has never gained much land since the days of early conquests. As a result of this the Dominion has been forced to change with the times, always looking for that next edge over it's enemies. It's greatest being the horse lords to the north though to the south The Cadius Hegemony has blocked one of the greatest chances the Dominion had for expansion out into the sea causing an ever growing rivalry.
Over the centuries the Dominion has changed using it's military power to score victories were it could and using politics to utilize them. There are no more High Kings, the Emperor stands above all men with his many councils and advisers. In more recent years diplomacy and trade have become ever larger and important tools for them to use. This has lead to the rise of the merchant class growing ever more important in the nation. In recent years the growing industry has become a key to Dominion power which has made the merchants ever more powerful and lead to a swift rise of power for scientists and captains of industry. Embracing industry so directly shows the strength that the Dominion has always shown over the centuries in that it adapts quickly to the changing world and does what it can to cause the world to change in their favor.

It is designed to shrug off even the heaviest enemy guns with even the side armor exceeding 250mm is depth though the slow speed limits it capabilties to infantry support as it is easily outpaced by most other armored vehicles.
A/LKVK-6 Medium Tank Destroyer
The A/LKVK-6 is one of the most commonly seen AFVs in infantry formations of the Dominion Armed Forces. A tank destroy capable of operating as an assault gun it lends significant firepower to infantry formations where the turretless design can be easily supported by infantry. Armed with a high velocity 100mm gun it generally utilizes HVAP ammunition to better destroy opposing tanks at long range even when heavily armored. It has a top speed of 65KPH making it a highly mobile weapons platform.
LKVK-7 Medium Tank Destroyer
A modern tank destroyer armed with a 125mm gun it carries almost exclusively HVAP rounds mean to engage tanks about it's own weight class or hide and ambush opposing armored columns. It's armor is rather thin though has a powerful engine allowing it to reach 75KPH rather quickly. With it's gun and speed this tank destroyer is able to be moved into and out of battle easily able to decapitate enemy deep strikes and withdraw before pitched battle can commence.
DVK-1 Heavy Tank Destroyer
The newest AFV to see mass production and the first of it's type. Armed with a monstorous 200mm main gun and a pair od turreted 90mm guns on either side along with 2 paired autocannons to either side and 2 forward mounted autocannons. The armor is spaced and 300mm thick at the front. the turret cannot rotate fully rotate but is a second line weapon as it is a tank destroyer rather than an actual tank meant to destroy the largest and most powerful enemy tanks fielded.
LP 20
A 20mm rapid fire high velocity autocannon used for anti-aircraft capability generally used in groups of 4.
LP/H 75
75mm long range anti-fighter/airship cannon with a long flat trajectory to make accurate fire against weak points on airships possible.
LK/LP/H 100
Originally designed as a self-propelled anti-aircraft gun mounting the LP 90mm cannon the high velocity and flat trajectory that made it so effective against both airships and fighters also leant it to anti-tank capability and after a short battery of field tests has begun deployment as such being circulated throughout infantry formations.
LK/LP NK 100
A self-propeled anti-tank and anti-aircraft weapon meant to provide direct support to infantry formations. It is a basic chassis with the highly effective LK/LP 90 married onto it.
Towed Artillery guns
The Dominion Armed Forces utilize long range gun batteries in 100, 150, 200, and 250mm sizes as well as 50 and 100mm mortars employing them in very large numbers with company sized units often having attached batteries and regiments generally fielding more than one battalion of towed guns.
- - Navy: 500,000
Dece Interceptor
A lightning fast and nimble single engine aircraft the Dece is armed with 4x 20mm guns and a maximum payload of 500 kg. It's range is only 1,000km with a max speed of nearly 1,000 km/h. It has a rate of climb of 35m/s with a ceiling of 15,000m. it's strength relies largely in it's maneuverability as it can outturn most fighters it would engage.
Fiadre Heavy Fighter
A twin engine fighter armed with 2x 20mm cannons and 6x 10mm guns. It has a maximum payload of 2,500 kg. The maximum range is 3,500 kilometers and max speed of 750km/h with a climb rate of 25 m/s and ceiling of 15,000m making it a a very powerful fighter with good range and speed thanks to the powerful engines.
Tonnerre Heavy Bomber
A four engine bomber with a 10 man crew meant for long range high altitude saturation bombing. With a maximum range of 5,000km and ceiling of 15,000m it can strike at far away targets at a height many AA guns will have difficulty firing at. It has a maximum payload of 5,000kg and speed of 500km/h.
Chasseur-class Destroyer
Designed to screen larger ships or hunt down ships of the same or smaller class it is very fast with 4 large engines. It is armed with 24 turreted 150mm guns giving it good fire all around for shredding lightly armored vessels or fighters. When engaging larger vessels where the 150mm guns would be more difficult to use it carries 10 tubes for firing long range aerial torpedoes and rockets. Each side also has 3 forward aimed tubes set off-center and there are 4 rear facing tubes as well making it all around a fearsome predator of the skies.
Marteau-class Battleship
In many ways an enlargened Chasseur with 15 turreted 500mm guns positioned along the mainline. It's secondary armaments are 20x 100mm guns, 24x 50mm guns, and 50x 20mm guns for engaging manner of targets. It has the same large style of engines allowing it for a high speed though armor on it follos the "all or nothing" doctrine with only key areas being armored more than minor amounts.
Imparable-class Aircraft Carrier
Few in number the Imparable-class can carry as many as 100 aircraft in 10 squadrons of 10 though depending on aircraft carried is often fewer. Generally escorted by entire squadrons of smaller destroyers it is armed with 10 turreted 50mm guns and 50 turreted 20mm guns spread across it to defend against rockets, aerial torpedoes, and fighters. If engaged at close range by a large enemy vessel it carries a single forward turreted 750mm auto-loading cannon mostly meant to scare off any who would engage it with surprising firepower.
The Navy has generally tried to compete with the Army for funding and resources and until recently generally lost out. The need for a long range combat navy to maintain trade lanes and build an empire has resulted in large and sudden growth for the navy with new airships and naval ships being laid down regularly. Their doctrine is still roughly setup and based mostly on foreign information rather than years of experience as the army is. Their readiness is high though as they are eager to prove themselves as valuable or more so than their land based counterparts.
- - Dread Guard: 100,000
The most elite soldiers of the Army are cherry picked from the academies and battlefields to be placed in the Dread Guard regiments. 20 hardened fighting regiments, 5 armored and 15 infantry they are armed and armored far above that of the standard line soldier.
- Readiness:
At peacetime readiness due to increasingly imperialistic tendencies the national standing military is ready to rapidly prepare for offensive operations or react in defensive operations against foreign invasions or rebels.
Territory: http://i.imgur.com/FrlodcI.png
Important Locations:
- Velos: The capitol city of The Dominion of Courbonnais a large multi-million population center south of the Noir Mountains between the Marel and Durants Rivers. It's prosperity has largely grown ever since liberation from the ancient Alduan Empire. The old city still shows over half a dozen different architecural styles from the many years.
- Grey Fields: The the east of the Noir Mountains located in northern Courbonnais there stands a vast industrial complex stretching over kilometers. Defended by the Dread Guard itself and an entire fleet of aerial warships this is the center of Courbonnais industrial capability. Throughout the day trains and airships move workers into and out of the vast track of factories and workshops. Plans are constantly being drawn up to expand it ever outwards allowing it to produce ever more industrial and military goods.
- Port Vunabid: In the west of the country Port Vunabid is the largest military port situated at the head of the Marel River
- Port Bourdiex: Situated in the south at the head of the Durant River it is the largest trading port in the country.
History:
The Dominion of Courbonnais can trace it's roots back for thousands of years to the city states of the Courbonnais region when they warred, traded, and generally interacted mostly amongst themselves caring little for the outside world. The expansive region with large amounts of good arable land, a significant population, and moderate resources stood independent aside from various alliances the city states struck between one another for centuries. This organized chaos lasted for quite some time until a new empire began to be forged on the peninsula to the east.
The twin cities of Avencass and Lavendass were the first to fall to the Alduan Empire the often seasonal armies of Courbonnais could not match the professional heavy infantry in the field and the superb engineers of Alduas constructed powerful siege weapons to batter down the gates of the walled Courbonnain cities. The natural infighting of the region only accelerated the conquest as no alliance could be forged until most of the region was within their grasp. By then they still could not halt the inexorable conquest. Seemingly daily cities fell either to diplomacy or warfare surrendering to the power and wealth that was the ever growing Alduan Empire. Over the course of nearly 50 years the entire region was conquered and pacified.
The pacification process never really took solid hold of the region though. The Emperor of Alduas forever had to keep his eyes on the region and his armies ready to march against any rebellions. The Emperor tried to incentivize turning on the more disloyal elements over the decades and centuries but neither the peasantry nor the nobility had interest in supporting the Empire. In time they went from trying to reward those who would aid them to punishing everyone. Taxes were larger, more and more men were levied to fill the armies, and every resource that could be was stripped from the region. This only further engendered displeasure with the Empire and made the people incite other regions to fight back where they could. Open rebellion was rare, it was always the minorest of cuts to bleed the empire a little.
Eventually the Empire decided a foreign enemy was necessary to tie together the various expanses of the empire. To the north into the great plains and steppes lived the horse lords, there had been minor forays against them but the superior cavalry had dissuaded any serious attempts at conquest thus far. With Velos and her sister cities bleeding the Empire more as the decades passed and encouraging other regions to fight back they were becoming a larger and larger issue as years passed and the empire grew fat and stagnant on it's past successes. A massive invasion was launched against the horse lords they pushed in all the way to the first river of the great plains defeating several hordes at great cost. There though things changed, the native Courbonnain auxiliaries wished to return home. The general of the army threatened to kill them all though and kept them advancing. At the river during a massive crossing the horse lords launched a counter attack, as the Alduan soldiers tried to rally the Courbonnain auxiliaries struck from behind trapping the Alduan forces in the river and on it's banks where the horse lords and Courbonnain men cut them apart.
It was here a minor alliance was struck and the seeding of the largest rebellion in the history of the Empire took place. Together the horse lords and the Courbonnain struck south cleansing the Alduan presence from the plains and Velos lead a union of cities in raising new armies and their flags in open revolt. When the Alduan forces began to lose ground every city and every region seemed to come together with the simple idea of crushing Alduas. With victory eventually assured Velos began to act to forge the future of the Dominion.
The then ruler of Velos declared himself first king of Velos, High King Barrabois married off his three sons to other major cities and secured alliances through diplomacy and struck out with their combined army to secure everything between the Marel and Durant rivers in effect giving him the core of Courbonnais. From there he began the expansion almost immediatly all of Courbonnais was under his thumb. Alduas had not even been razed yet when High King Barrabois invaded Molitan to the west. With much of Molitan's forces to the east fighting in the Alduan homeland it was largely a swift conquest though to this day there is still a region which holds out at the Millas river delta.
Barrabois was extremely opportunistic and emboldened by the immediate successes even if forces were bogged down to the east now and the offensive there stalled. All Courbonnais cities not directly controlled by Velos or tied by marriage were brought militarily under the power of Velos before the armies swept east and north. Three-fourths of Bardosia was conquered and occupied before Courbonnais struck north at the horse lords in a betrayal they have still not forgiven. Gains were made at first but then stalled. Alduas had been razed but a new empire now stood across much of the land it once held. This did allow the land to one day recover though and is now a part of the alliances that opposed the Dominion's further expanse.
For over a thousand years now the Dominion of Courbonnais has now stood though has never gained much land since the days of early conquests. As a result of this the Dominion has been forced to change with the times, always looking for that next edge over it's enemies. It's greatest being the horse lords to the north though to the south The Cadius Hegemony has blocked one of the greatest chances the Dominion had for expansion out into the sea causing an ever growing rivalry.
Over the centuries the Dominion has changed using it's military power to score victories were it could and using politics to utilize them. There are no more High Kings, the Emperor stands above all men with his many councils and advisers. In more recent years diplomacy and trade have become ever larger and important tools for them to use. This has lead to the rise of the merchant class growing ever more important in the nation. In recent years the growing industry has become a key to Dominion power which has made the merchants ever more powerful and lead to a swift rise of power for scientists and captains of industry. Embracing industry so directly shows the strength that the Dominion has always shown over the centuries in that it adapts quickly to the changing world and does what it can to cause the world to change in their favor.

How about we have had general disagreements for as long as anyone remembers? Due to geography, trade competition, and conflict of interest.
Call me interested, nation sheet on the way.

That works since we just have that see separating our land claims so we have constantly had little scuffles here and there like England and France. It is kind of funny that I am trying to find a name for my elite unit since I had planned to use Iron Guard but you are using that.

Ok, I've updated part of my cs. I still have a lot of work to do on it, but I have some things I need to get done tonight.
by the way, you say this will be diesel/steampunk. Just how far are we going with this? Are we talking like steampunk or clockwark warmachines like small mechs and thick battle armor with clockwork enhancing strength or what?
GM
More like "Walking Tanks" than actual mechs in my opinion. Sort of like this:
But if you can find a way to make "clockwork enhancing strength suits" balanced, then I'm open to the idea at least. Maybe small scale specialized units can use them?
Also I added your nation to the map, Omega

Soldier
The standard ground trooper commonly moves in squads generally numbering in 5-6 troopers, in order to maximize combat efficiency. Likewise, the Linessian Military also forgoes the use of cavalry and trenches, instead choosing to have mobility while also having protection. Most tactics employed by the Army are based of statistical combat efficiency in the given situation, rather than trusted tactics. There are also specialized squads, usually comprised of 2-3 men, generally acting as either a sniper team of a sapper squad.
Weapons
GSR Mk.5 The General Service Rifle is the staple of the Army, used by many infantry units. Its versatility allows it to work in almost any condition, and its reliability makes sure a kill can be confirmed.
ASR Mk.1 The Assault Service Rifle is a relatively new weapon. With the ability to deal large amounts of damage, it has a lot of promise, and is even stated to replace the CASR.
SSR Mk.3 The Specialized Service Rifle is a favorite of marksmen. The bolt action and small ammunition capacity hinders it greatly, but the power and accuracy more than make up for its downsides.
CASR Mk.2 The Compact Automatic Service Rifle is a favorite among many branches of the military. From the air force to the tank corps, the versatility and small size of this gun is what really makes it shine. It has a special dual-trigger system which determines whether it fires semi of fully automatic.
APMG Mk.1 The Assault Personnel Machine Gun is a versatile weapon that can be planted almost anywhere, allowing for the defense of many locations.
SP Mk.2 The Service Pistol is the most common weapon in the military. It is light, concealable, and easy to use, allowing it to be the perfect sidearm.
ATW The Anti-Tank Weapon is a devastating prototype rocket launcher which can easily be sent into battle to dispose of a small tank or armored vehicle.
Air Force
Talon Class This behemoth of an airship was primarily meant for huge air battles where enemy airships needed to be taken out efficiently. Nevertheless, the Talon Class destroyers are sure to be adept at such a task, sporting 10 14-inch guns, as well as an assortment of AA guns, it is no wonder that these are something to marvel at. Perhaps that is why they are very expensive to produce.
Anchor Class A mobile airfield, this airship is a sight to behold. Although it has almost no guns, it usually stays hidden in clouds or behind cover most of the time. Its relative mobility allow it to quickly get to the skies.
Inhibitor Class A huge armored zeppelin, built solely for destruction. The large array of 8 inch guns gives it a deadly touch, and its rather stealth-based design allow it to pounce out of the clouds and strike unsuspecting enemy forces.
Needle Class This battle-cruiser uses its small size and relative mobility to its advantage, while still having plenty of firepower. The total of 12 12-inch artillery, as well as 11 Quad .50 Cal AA guns and 8 twin-linked 40mm bofors give this cruiser some amazing firepower. The added bonus is the ability to harbor other aircraft in a relatively safe area inside the cruiser.
Prohibitor Class Even larger than the Talon Class, this huge airship has devastating capabilities, due to its armament. While most enemy fire bounce off it due to the heavy armor, the top deck sports a numerous amount of 12 inch artillery guns, while the sides of the ship are outfitted with large numbers of 40mm bofors and Quad .50 Cal AA guns, similar to the Needle Class.
Hive Class A rather small, mobile battlecruiser, it sports aerial torpedo launchers, with a number of .50 Cal AA guns providing protection. Its main role is to attack, and it is set for use in small air battles during war.
Pest Class Even smaller and more compact than the hive class, it frequently works with the Hive Class, due to its more reliable defensive armament of 120mm guns.
LAP Hunter-Killer Mk.1 One of the most maneuverable aircraft ever built, it is no wonder it is one of the most common in the Air Force. Sporting one 26mm cannon on each wing, with one 30mm gun placed on the rotor, it also has the capacity of holding a payload of up to 500kg in bombs or rockets.
LAP Hunter Killer Mk.2 A newer model of the Hunter-Killer, this one focusing more on firepower and foregoing speed in the process. It has a six-barreled 20mm Gatling based gun on the tip of the propeller. It also has one 26mm gun on each wing, as well as a 12.7 dual barrel alternating fire gun on top for defense. Can carry a payload of 800kg.
LAP Bullet Mk.1 Meant for strategic and expedient bombing of target locations. The speed allows it to quickly evade large caliber, while it can still withstand small arms fire. Has one 20mm gun on each wing, capable of carrying a 250kg payload.
LAP Warlord Mk.1 Built to stay in the sky during prolonged air battles and for heavy bombing, the Warlord is equipped with three twin-barreled alternate fire 20mm guns. It can carry a payload of 4000kg
LAP Arrowhead Mk.1 Meant to intercept enemy aircraft, it disregards versatility in battle to focus more on speed and maneuverability. It has one 30mm gun on each wing, as well as a 20mm twin-barrel turret in the back for self defense. Can carry about 80kg in rockets.
LAP Doombringer Mk.1 A devsatating aircraft with massive firepower, it has 4 twin-barrel
20mm turrets. It can carry up to 6000kg in payload/excess crew.
LAP Raven Mk.1 A rather fast bomber, it can carry almost 3000kg in payload. It is armed with 3 20mm twin-barrel guns, as well as another singular 20mm gun.
Ground Vehicles
LAPC This armored personnel carrier is more akin to a tank than anything, this was built to safely get troops into the battlefield. Armed with 40mm gun, has a top speed of 51km/h.
LSBT The Linessian Small Battle Tank is built for compact spaces where other, larger tanks aren't able to function. Equipped with both a 37mm cannon and a 7.5mm LMG, it has a top speed of about 34km/h.
LMBT The medium battle tank is the mainstay of the tank corps. Reliable and customizable for any type of job, it can interchange between 40mm, 75mm, 90mm, and 155m cannons, with a 7.5 mm machine gun also given to it. It has a top speed of about 48 km/h.
LHBT The heavy battle tank is meant for power. It has a 90mm cannon, and a top speed of 50km/h.
LSHBT The super heavy battle tank comes equipped with a 120mm cannon, a coaxial 7.5mm gun, and a swivel mounted .303 machine gun. It has a top speed of 35 km/h.
LSPG Armed with a huge 140mm cannon, this mammoth of a tank is meant for the destruction of other tanks and little else. Top speed 28 km/h.
LTA This tank based artillery vehicle has a 280mm cannon, and has a top speed of 37km/h.
WIP
still working though I might finish up soon (NS is on original post on first page.)
My flag turned out nicely if I must say so myself. I wanted to work white in there somewhere but could not get it to work well.
GM
Nahh, it looks great Omega! If only I had teh skillz..... XD Anyway, I'm just gathering up my resources for my nation. Everyone, take your time making your nation sheets, of course. As good as this is shaping up to be, there isn't any rush.
-UPDATE-
Made a little update on my NS. If anyone's having issues on what one might look like, you can use mine as an example. Granted it's not even completed! XD But just putting this out there in case anyone needs any help. Once everyone has their NS done, I'll link them in the first post for easy access and use the actual names of the nations instead of usernames.

I think I may have gotten the scale wrong. is it just straight:

or is it,
Individual 1-2-3-4-5--5-4-3-2-1 State

or is it,
Individual 1-2-3-4-5--5-4-3-2-1 State
GM
Okay, let's say I want to be more State than Individual. So I would do this
Individual ----5 State
1 is the most extreme on the left
5 is the most extreme on the right
Does that help?
