Allechlande
Situated in the center of the eastern continent, Allechlande is a stratocracy with an incredibly advanced military. This can be traced back to the fact that Allechlande contains vast amounts of fertile farmland in its southern region. While this has made Allechlande a nation of plenty, it has also led to much conflict over that land from bordering nations. This constant conflict caused previous rulers to focus on military development and merit-based promotions out of necessity, eventually resulting in the military coming into power. However, this has also led towards the nation becoming highly jingoistic, with the military sparing no expense in their (highly successful) propaganda effort to maintain high levels of patriotism in the populace.
All citizens of Allechlande are subject to compulsory military service beginning when they turn eighteen, lasting for at least two years. During this time, they are put through basic training to achieve discipline and a standard level of competence with arms. Should a citizen be unable to participate in this training, they are placed into a division that they can aid with, often logistics or the like. It is only when a citizen is truly unable to participate in anything, such as in the case of coma or extreme disability, that their service requirement is waived.
For the past twenty years, tensions with Volstad have been on the rise over a section of disputed territory that Allechlande had seized in a past war. These tensions have escalated to the point that border skirmishes are the norm and the two nations are at the brink of war again. This is partly due to Volstad's aggressive expansionism, but also due to Allechlandic jingoism rearing its head, with the public supporting a war to assert national dominance and to secure an even stronger position for the glorious fatherland.
Through might, peace
