Guide [A1]

Governments:
Choose a government type that best suits your nation. This gives a basic understanding how your realm is governed by all the contextual nuances I leave up to you as user created content. More government types will become available as philosophies of the ages are discussed and explored in the narrative. Since more or less most realms are ruled by a king or a single monarch then if you were to go with kraterocracy then you have a kraterocractic monarchy

Chiefdom
This is the most basic form of organization and governance that is more complex than tribalism but not yet a full fledged state with functional facets of true civilization.

Aristocracies and Feudalism
Kraterocracy = Ruled by the strongest by means of physical forces, socio and political maneuvering. Might makes right.
Plutocracy = Ruled by the rich and powerful where the desires and whims belong to those with money and wealth.
Timocracy = Rules by honorable citizens and land owners based on merits and degrees of honor.
Geniocracy = Ruled by the intelligent and philosophical where only the wise and creative can govern.
Theocracy = Ruled by religious elites and the church as the ultimate authority in governance.
Stratocracy = Ruled by military service where only those who served in active duty can govern.
Autocracy = Power resides with a single person as a head of state where his or her word is law.
Oligarchy = Power resides within a small group of people as heads of state.

Pejorative Rule
Kleptocracy = Ruled by thieves and criminals in a mafia-style state.

Monarchy and Early Democracy
Absolute Monarchy = Government ruled by a single monarch as head of state with the ultimate governing authority.
Demarchy = Early democracy ruled by consensus conferences where the eligible citizens selected by sortition (jury selection) can govern as heads of state.
Ochlocracy = Ruled by the majority "absolute democracy" or mob rule where the will of the majority overrides all.

Guide [A2]

Currency:
Choosing a specific precious metal/mineral has no real advantage or disadvantage at this moment but for the sake of variety and what your currency is based off of.

Copper = The most common metal used in coinage
Diamond = A rare mineral used in exchanges with similar value to gold
Zinc = An uncommon metal used in coinage
Gold = An exchange standard and a precious metal used in coinage
Tin = A common metal used in coinage
Iron = A common metal used in coinage
Silver = A common precious metal used in coinage

Guide [A3]
Military Organization:
Army = The oldest and most diverse branch of military organization for it not only focuses on infantry but cavalry, siege equipment and as technology or knowledge increases other specializations will fit into this branch if there are not other branches developed over time.
Navy = A branch focusing on ships and relevant only to nations who are near oceans. Landlocked realms cannot have navies. Navies like armies can have other specializations as technology and knowledge increases.
Corps = A specialized organization that deals in special training or specialized warfare and can be paramilitary. Corps are very rarely larger than the two basic branches of service.

Manpower and Garrisons
For the record, for those developing their realms' military must take into account that building armies and navies are expensive and highly demanding in resources, one of these is labor. If too much of your labor force is put into the military you will not have much in labor to tend to farms and other infrastructures of your realm. In the same way garrisons overseas or within your own borders you need soldiers to man them and the cost is all the same. Can't maintain a garrison without soldiers and you can't have soldiers if you do not have the treasury or the manpower to maintain them.

Inclinations:
Similar to alignment in other RPGs this is your realm's inclination towards certain policies and these are purely personal preferences that you can arbitrary set. How this works is if your realm is 0 on the autonomy and totalitarian scale then 0 shows your realm's government allows full autonomy where as if it were a 10 then your realm's government it has a death grip on everyone and everything within its borders. The trending arrows show if it is going further up or down on the scale and how rapidly. The more rapid the trend the more it may affect public support.

Attributes:
Each and everyone who has taken interest this far must get with my individually and I will run the numbers for you since we lack a dice rolling mechanic. It seems I am resorting to doing all the book keeping and dice rolling. That being said this is why I went with a narrative driven RP instead of purely dice rolling. The main reason this is require as part of your realm's sheet is to give a degree of dynamic scenarios that are rolled and it is up to you how you narrate it.

Public Order: This is your realm’s HP or health. If this ever reaches zero then your realm goes into anarchy and you will lose control of your realm until you can regain control of it
Public Support: This is your realm’s “mana” in the ability to do war, endure embargoes and be in favor of questionable policies whether it is foreign or domestic. When this reaches zero this will start to affect public order
Labor: The strength of a realm in determining how many able bodied people are available for construction projects, expanding infrastructure and maintaining farms so people won't starve in cities. The more labor a realm has the more it can do and this constitutes in the available manpower a realm has for building armies and navies.
Infrastructure: The infrastructure of a realm can determine its dexterity on how quickly things are moved and distributed within its own borders. The better then infrastructure, the quicker and more efficient goods and services are distributed through out the realm. As more technologies and the methods are discovered this will improve the infrastructure dramatically.
Knowledge: For a realm who is going to be heavily aligned towards the advancement of the arts in magic and arcane powers this is an important attribute. Knowledge is a realm's wisdom on the arcane energies that can be tapped into talented individuals and the more knowledge a realm has the more talented individuals it has to draw on in continue the advancement in magicks.
Brilliance: For a realm who is going to be heavily aligned towards the advancement in technologies this is an important attribute. Brilliance is a realm's intelligence on how it comprehends the world around them and how it works. The more brilliance a realm has the more inventors and innovators it has to draw to advanced in technology as well as expand on existing ones.
Influence: This is a realm's charisma mainly by its culture and how the people are on a social level. Perhaps your people are likable or dependable in trade or there are other esoteric merits that can influence other realms to agree with you or make trade and diplomatic exchanges easier. The more influence your realm and your people the more likely a realm's people will follow your example through inspiration or intimidation, whichever is applied.

Power:
This is the part that happens behind the scenes that determines how good or bad a declared scenario can go pertaining to a certain situation. For example if realm's company is trying to do a hostile takeover with another realm's company in a foreign buyout then it depends on the opposing fiscal powers and how can simply out buy or out negotiate the other. The powers are determine by rank from 1 to 100 with 1 being the worst and 100 being the best.

Martial: The military capabilities of your nation through strengths of arms, power projection and force multipliers (if they apply)
Discovery: The capability to discover new lands, ancient artifacts, discover new technologies or branch into higher tiers of magicks
Technology: Technology is a power modifier for technological realms that use influence, martial powers and other abilities
Methods: Method is a power modifer for arcane realms that uses influence, martial powers and other abilities pertaining to magicks
Fiscal: The monetary wealth of your nation and how much buying power and leverages you have in trade, trade negotiations and how well companies do in foreign exchanges and currency worth.
Culture: How influential your realm's culture is versus other cultures.

Resources:
This will be randomly selected and each nation starts out with 9 resources. Resources will be determined with dice in the same fashion attributes and powers will be selected. As more discoveries are made more resources will be available. Resources here are mainly for trade, diplomatic and economic narrations to say what your realm has versus what others don't and so forth. You have exotic, fine, rare and unique variations of resources that can determine its trade value.The list of resources are huge so here is a small sample what you might get:
-Tea
-Fine timber
-Coffee
-Sugar
-Rice
-Spices
-Cotton
-Silk
-Marble
-Granite
-Citrus:
-Diamonds
-Sulfur
-Iron
-Copper
-Gold
-Silver
-Crystal

Fine variation has better quality and trade value
Exotic variation has fine quality and even better trade value
Rare variation has best quality and very good trade value
Unique has best quality and brings the highest trade value on the market

And some help with bbcodes with this will be deeply appreciated.

-The Niau “Sky” Circle is a faction aimed towards rapid science and arcane progress.
Population: 1.7 Million
Ethnicity:
-87% Siithic (humanoids with long lifespans averaging around 400 years that are tall and lithe compared to humans with a slight point to their ears and covered in green birth marks)
-10% Human (basic humans, fair skinned)
-3% Durrow (dark skinned humanoids that live underground with pointed ears and high attenuation to magic)

Languages (Official/Recognized/Suppressed):
-Ambrosec [Official]
-Runeqs [Official]
-Generic [Recognized]
Location: Region A, 8 [Locally called Ariagh] Ar-ee-ah
Area: 70%
Climate: Mild to humid temperatures, rainy and cloudy.
Topography: Coastal flatlands, deep woodlands, numerous creeks and rivers, rolling foothills and two mountain ridges that stretch north and south and eastward towards the coast.
Currency: Copper “Uid” and Silver “Irio” standards
Capital: Rath
Cities: [5] Salem, Avalon, Forge, Vale, Ironhead
Colonies: [None]
Vassals: [None]
Culture: The united clans can be summed up as an introverted people. Athyrites are collectively very reserved people and even though the few humans who are among them are more pragmatic and high strung due to short lives while the Durrow are seen as very impulsive. Athyrites enjoy the melting pot of culture from the other clans since unification along with arts, music and of course of philosophy. There is a latent obsession with deep thought among the siithic people has made them eccentric and curious about the very nuances of the world and of life in general. This is why most religions by siithics are very Gnostic as they’re spiritual people and abhor dogmatic teachings of organized religion. Due to this rather liberal nature among a very conservative minded people there has been even gains on both arcane arts and science as they’re both opened to the prospects that combining the best of both worlds is towards a path of harmony. This way of thinking was the reason why the clans were finally united as the teaching of Athyr tore down the walls between dogmatic arcane purists and arrogant fraternities of science. Siithics and humans have good social relationships although Durrows still have a stigma of being unapologetic thieves, brigands, deviants and renegade casters. As a whole the people strive towards betterment and balance in nature while looking for creative ways to improve civilization as a force of balance and conservation.
Military: Since the end of the clan wars the armies and navies were reorganized to serve under one banner and one king. Although after a few centuries some animosity remains among armies who still trade their heritage for former parent clans. To alleviate these tensions the military holds annual wargames and tournaments to gain prestige and bragging rights without bloodshed.
-The Grand Army of the Citadel
-United Clans Navy
-Order Mage Corps
Brief History: The great philosopher Athyr is the man behind the unification of the clans for he believed that harmonization comes from integrating both the sciences and arcane arts to bring balance to nature. This is why the clans decided on the banner to be the scale as Athyr was seen to bring stability to the clans. Without stability there cannot be peace. Athyr’s history is shrouded in mystery but something traumatic in his earlier life caused him to embark on this crusade of order while siithic clans and human mercenaries were constantly warring over piety differences to follow a way of life that they believed was superior to the point that it was turned religious to have the arcane talented to wipe out the arcane talentless and vice versa. Not all siithics were endowed with a deep affinity to the arcane powers as some decided to shape nature than conform to it. The battle between conformers and non-conformers raged for several centuries until Athyr showed that if both were taught on equal grounds there can be harmonization between those who conform to nature and who wish to shape it and that both sides were to keep each other in check.

FOUNDING: 380 Years Prior

MOTTO: "The Brave Shall Inherit The Earth"

ANTHEM:


DEMONYM: Matsyans

GOVERNMENT TYPE: Absolute Monarchy

LEADERSHIP: Maharajah Yaduveera Keshavayya IV

FACTIONS:
The court is divided between three main factions each with their own religious connotations , these factions are :

• The Vaishnavists : Members of the upper nobility and the high priesthood who consider the ever increasing number of religious sects and even separate religions a threat and view the policy of tolerance towards other faiths undertaken by the crown as folly. The Vaishnavists are also in favor of military expansion northward which would potentially lead to increasing their power and influence at home and abroad.

• The Dingrambists: Almost wholly constitutes the members of a relatively new wealthy burgher class who have been able to procure wealth and through it influence by engaging in trade . The Dingrambists are vehemently opposed to the powers conferred to the priesthood questioning their authority , they are further suspicious of the priesthood and the Vaishnavists in general due to their apparent disapproval of other faiths as the Dingramists themselves have become followers of a prophet named "Siddhartha" . The Digrambists are also opposed to war , probably because it would affect their trade incomes.

• The Svetambists : The Svetambists follow the teachings of their own guru "Vardhamana" , who preached that his followers must abandon all worldly belongings in order to meditate and live the life of an ascetic so that eventually they may find "The Eternal Truth" . The Svetambists do not hold much political influence but are respected by the people who often provide these wandering monks with shelter in their homes . The Svetambists are patrons of art and knowledge and as such wish that endeavors to expand knowledge and culture are supported by the king and the royal family.

POPULATION: 4 million

ETHNICITY:

• 79% Toch-Avian (Olive Skinned Humans , The by product of two very different cultures.The current king Yaduveera Keshavayya is a member of this Ethnicity.)
• 11% Tochrian (Very Dark Skinned Humans , The native populace of the kingdom now almost completely eradicated through intermarriage and a general loss of native culture . Tall and lean are known to be excellent archers and foragers)
• 10% Pure Blood Avian(Pale Humans , large and burly known to be ferocious fighters and are usually high ranking members of the Military)

RELIGIONS:

• Avian-Animist [Traditional , A mixture of the original Avian pantheon and the native animist beliefs. The Vaishnavists belong to this religious group]

• The Forked Path / Siddhinism [Recognized , A belief system based on the life and times of the prophet Siddhartha]

• The Eternal Truth [Recognized , Based on the works of 12 holy men the most important of whom being Vardhamana]

LANGUAGES:

• Toch-Avian [Official , Toch-Avian is by far the most widely spoken tongue in all of Matsya , Toch-Avian uses the Tochrian script and various Tochrian words in combination with Avian to create something new , although some consider it a bastardization of Avian the language has continued to grow exponentially.]

• Avian [Official-Rarely used, The original Avian script of abstract symbols has lost its importance in the contemporary world yet some in the court know and use it from time to time.]

LOCATION:
Region B , 8

AREA:
92% , excluding swampland , marshes, deserts and the like

CLIMATE:
The Matsyan climate is what is considered to be Sub-Tropical , characterized by hot, usually humid summers and mild to cool winters.

TOPOGRAPHY:
The eastern and middle portion of Matsya is dominated by fertile plains which form the agricultural backbone of the kingdom , to the south lies the great plateaus with their ever extending mangrove forests housing important trade commodities like sandalwood and timber . The north houses two large mountain ranges "Liri" and "Kanug" the two of them are collectively also known as the gates to Matsya. To its east lies the "Arava" desert although not particularly large , it does provide an element of protection to the kingdom from outside invaders. Matsya is a peninsula , projecting out into the water making it excellent for trade.

CURRENCY:
Copper "Mitral" , Tin "Asti" and Gold "Ayyman" standard.

CAPITAL: Matsya

CITIES:

COLONIES:

VASSALS:

CULTURE:
The people of the Kingdom of Matsya predominantly belong to 3 major ethnic groups each with its own cultural persuasions . The most common of these ethnicities The Toch-Avian are a cross culture of the invading Avians and the native Tochrians , this new ethnic group even adopted the language and religious practices prevalent in both the original cultures and made it their own . Through generations of interbreeding the Toch-Avians have secured positions of power previously reserved for pure blooded Avians so much so that the kings of Matsya are now considered to be Toch-Avian.

The second most prominent ethnic group the pure blood Avians come from a line of the upper nobility who refused to inter marry with those of Tochrian blood . This tradition has been commonplace ever since . The pure bloods do not however see the Toch-Avian people as being inferior , to them being pure blood is a sign of respect to their heritage and culture.

The last and most rapidly fading ethnic group are the Tochrians , it would seem that they have lost much of their old ways many not being able to speak their own language and worship their own now forgotten gods. Traditionally the Tochrians lived within the forest cover in the south of Matsya however many Tochrians have now even abandoned that ancient custom and moved to the vast cities of Matsya.

MILITARY:
The Matsyan military is unique in that unlike most feudal societies which depend on levied forces the Matsyan kingdom also houses a standing army or retinue under the command of the king himself .
The Matsyan military is characterized by its use of two important unique troop types:

• The War Elephant (The most elite of these forces are often manned by Tochrians who are known to be excellent archers)
• The War Chariot (The most elite of these forces are often manned by Pure Blood Avians , known to be excellent warriors)

BRIEF HISTORY:
After the Avian invasion The Kingdom of Matsya was divided into 12 smaller pricipalities constantly vying for power in the region warring over land where small gains such as a river crossing was considered to be a victory . In these turbulent times the Keshavayya dynasty came to power in the Principality of Matsya , which was even then a prominent city in the region . Through ruthless political maneuvering and beneficial marriages the Keshavayyan princes were able to bring the other rulers to heel and crown themselves kings. Under their rule Matsya flourished , through effective administration and providing relative autonomy to towns and cities Matsya became a trading hub connecting the continents of Mytir. However thing are changing , religious movements question the authority of the priesthood and even the divine right to rule of the king . Nobles plot in the shadows to overthrow the Keshavayyan yoke who have ruled for more than 200 years while some ambitious others seek to see the Matsyan banner on top of every city in the world.

unique ivory : The elephant has always been an important symbol for the Matsyan peoples , an elephant is even featured on the banner of the realm . Besides being excellent beasts of war the tusks and teeth of these animals are used to make Ivory the likes of which no other nation is able to produce. Matsyan Ivory is mainly used for decorative purposes a sign of status and wealth with high value works of art, precious religious objects, hilts of swords, jewelry and decorative boxes all made from it.

What makes products made from Matsyan ivory truly special is not just the brilliance of the material itself but also the skill of the artisans involved in production.

[An example of Matsyan Ivory jewelry]​

rare silk : The Matsyan Ayymani silk or golden silk is a luxury product whose demand has been growing exponentially in recent years. Originally the Matsyans harvested Ayymani silk in the wild with no concept of sericulture being practiced but as time passed and the demand for this soft material with a golden hue began to skyrocket people began gathering the indigenous Liri silkworm named so as they were originally found in the mountains of Liri. The most important feature of this type of silk is that it is naturally golden meaning there are no costs involved in dying the product. Matsya also produces other kinds of silk but the Ayymani silk is by far the most popular.

The different types of silks most importantly the Ayymani silk has proven to be a great boon to the textile industry which has begun making intricately woven silk textiles of great beauty and exporting it to the world.

exotic coffee : The Avian peoples were introduced to the coffee plant originally by the Tochrian natives for whom the fruits of the coffee plant was a staple part of the diet. In time it was found that the seeds of these plants could be further processed by soaking them in water for a few days and removing the sticky pulped residue attached to the seeds , the end product being coffee beans. What makes the Matsyan coffee special however is that most of the coffee produced is not processed as above. Masyan coffee goes through a special process in which an indigenous insect called the 'Agartala' eats the coffee beans and excretes the partially digested beans which after much processing produce a very aromatic , tasteful and not to mention expensive coffee.

exotic spices : The Avian people have always used spices in their food products whether it be to add additional flavor or to put color into the food as such they brought their practice of growing these spices with them to the Matsyan peninsula which turned out to have the perfect type of climate for such products.These spices were in time also used in medicine, religious rituals, or even as preservatives. Almost every type of spice in existence is produced in the region , however the most popular spice produced in Matsya at least in terms of trade is what is aptly named the "Grains of Paradise" known to impart a hot, spicy and aromatic flavor to any dish.

marble : Matsyan marble is largely found near the Kanug rock formation , it is largely used for construction purposes by the rich to bring a bit of sheen to their homes. Marble is also not a big trade product and is used usually for construction at home.
citrus fruits: Citron, lemon, lime, orange, and grapefruit are quite common in Matsya and is usually made to accompany a large feast.
fruits : Fruits of varying types can be found across Matsya owing to the vast and fertile plains found in the region.
salt : Salt is a common commodity consumed by the peasant and the ruler in the same amounts . Salt is found in ample amounts due to the fact that Matsya is a peninsula and much of the land is surrounded by sea water.
textiles : The textile industry in Matsya has seen a boom in recent years owing to the fine silk produced here , clothes fit for kings and queens are produced in Matsyan cities and exported abroad for a profit.

Spoiler: Current Realms' Cast - Cast Profile

Name: Maharajah Yaduveera Keshavayya IV , The people of Matsya have also dubbed the man "The Lawgiver" recognising his administrative prowess.

Age: 26

Role: Ruler of the kingdom of Matsya

Disposition:The Maharajah has tried always to be a silent observer and not openly support any one faction however seeing that most people in his realm fallow the Avian-Animist faith it would probably be to his advantage to side with the Vaishnavists if the demographics were to change however he would reconsider.

Appearance: The Maharajah is a large pot bellied man who looks older than he is , his jolly demeanor however should not be mistaken for weakness for behind that welcoming smile is a tiger ready to prance on its foe.

Background: Born Kanhaia Keshavayya to one of his fathers many concubines he was not to lead a sheltered life , like the sons of many concubines before him Kanhaia was made to join the civil service where he could put his head to use learning all there is to know of Accounting , Economics and Administration . Despite being a concubines son Kanhaiah had a great deal of interaction with his father who took a great deal of pain to ensure that he got a good education even going as far a providing Kanhaiah governship of a district . Under him the district flourished making regular tax payments and reducing banditry , all this lead to Kanhaiah being made the Uppadhya or the master of coin for the kingdom responsible for anything to do with the treasury especially taxes.

The Matsyan Kingdom follows primogeniture laws that is the eldest son of the ruler inherits all titles however with one special provision that is if the ruler has more than one child he may choose his heir , although this is rarely used it is still a right appointed to the king. Upon having been sick with some dangerous disease the king decided to name Kanhaiah his successor and abdicate the throne ensuring a peaceful succession. On that day Kanhaiah changed his name to Yaduveera a common tradition in Matsya.

Objectives: The Maharajah has no dreams of world conquest however he does wish to have greater influence for Matsya in the region and the world be it in trade and commerce or in diplomacy and cultural exchange.

These tribes built their homes high up in the trees or on the coast lines away from the more dangerous creatures of the swamps. The tribes lived in fear for two hundred year until the guardian dragons came forth and taught magic to to the native tribes. After learning magic the tribes began push back the creatures of the swamp and began to create a real home for themselves. A hundred years later the tribes began to combine and become one kingdom.
