The Kharnate

Hard lands breed a hard people, that's what the citizens of the Kharnate always boast, sitting in the north eastern corner of the known world the Kharnate once had ambitions to conquer the known world. At the start of the age of enlightenment the Kharnate revolutionized cavalry warfare, using light horses and pistols to break through formations and throw out massive amounts of firepower. Combining the flintlocks of the age with speed and mobility. It wasn't until they reached Francia and the Von Trapp Dominion that they were stopped.
The war that followed humbled the Kharnate, as a succession crises broke them. Revolutions rose up in the conquered lands and a dynasty that was set to rule the known world was broken back to the frozen tundra they'd originated from. The treaty was harsh, the nation would no longer be allowed to breed their unique breed of horse, having to slaughter each animal. This would prevent them ever riding fourth from the tundra again. Worst of all, the badlands was forbidden from being cut back, and thus the forest grew over almost half of the steppe.
In more modern times the Kharnate is a bit of an enigma, surviving the attention of it's neighbors due to hostile environment they live in. It's people cling to life by carving out a harsh life in the cites, working together to provide heat and warmth for one and other. Many of them continue to act as hunters in the wastes. It will take a great mind to bring the Kharnate back to the forefront of the world.

Structure

The nation is split down into small tribes that in times of war will come together to lead troops and create regiments. The larger tribes rule over smaller tribes and report directly to the Kharn, they are tasked with the running of the country in day to day matters. Leaving the Kharn to focus on foreign affairs and matters of great importance.

Public Agenda

Though to the public eye it may seem the Kharnate wishes nothing more then to be left in isolation, in reality they seek to return to the days of legend past down by their skalds. They wish to ride again and return to their place as conquers.

Assets

In the modern age the Kharnate has been rather secretive about what it aims to produce or even what it has. However we do know that they are creating a new type of mechanized regiment, much to the amusement of the cavalry heavy nations of the west. In terms of small arms they're limited to single shot rifles and revolvers.
