Kingdom of Luquoia
The Kingdom of Luquoia is a country forged in revolution and the warring of factions, and as such it's temperament seems to always return to that state– the nation seems to be constantly, consistently divided in one sense or another, with many factions disputing for ownership, power, control, reclamation of historical homelands, or simply tolerance. The country known today (c. 1498) is one that is almost colonial in nature. It has existed for about a century since it's foundation in Lucien by Lucius in 1393, and though it's existed for this amount of time, it seems to have never settled and in the scheme of things is still quite young. The environment can be dangerous and rough, hard to traverse and by all means hard to conquer. As such, there aren't many large, bustling cities in the country, but instead just a few larger havens with the rest of the nation's settlements being smaller towns, villages, ports, and colonies scattered within forests, by rivers and lakes, and along the coastline. Most of the smaller towns aren't particularly well off and tend to rely on their own abilities to hunt, fish, raise animals, mine, sail, craft, and trade in order to survive and make ends meet. On the other side of the spectrum, nobles and any associated with the government live much more well-off, secured lives in the larger cities, especially the protected diamond in the rough that is their capital, Lucien. Between the classes there is an obvious disparity as the incomes, taxation, and general ways of life are massively different depending on one's selling themselves to the Luquoian government. This is only some of what brings the spark of revolution into the picture.
Luquoia is overall a nation of internal conflict, as it hasn't made any moves in the past century to take any land or cause conflicts with any solidified nations outside the bounds of what they have claimed. They are not a closed-off nation, and trade is consistent with nearby countries such as the Sovereign State of Kankou to the south and the Kingdom of Elmsbrae to the north. However, Luquoia is known to not be a tourist destination, as the terrain is harsh and sometimes unforgiving, and the political climate has been rising in tension and conflicts. Overall, it can easily be seen by the civilizations surrounding it as not being a threat, but a place of unrest and potential danger on the inside.

Structure
As it is a kingdom, Luquoia has a king and nobility surrounding the royalty. The government is closely tied, if not completely integrated with the military, and the Luquoian Guard holds power and control in cities near and far to the capital. Their military is presumably strongest in it's naval forces, as the country is very sea-based and getting to important points in the country is most commonly achieved by skimming the coastline.
History
The Kingdom of Luquoia was founded in 1398 by Sir Lucius, turned King Lucius, a slave to the drow who had fought himself out of imprisonment to take back the country from the drow empire of Duul'so that had submerged from the underdark and raided the area with the goal of conquering and living above ground in their own cities and strongholds. Lucius and The Heavenly Seven helped to fight off the drow and retake the land for the land-dwelling inhabitants during a bloody, constantly unstable time of war. The nation was founded when the drow were forced back to the underdark and Lucius took complete military and political control. The capital was named "Lucien" in his honor, as well as the nation named "Luquoia" with his name present and notable for his work in creating and unifying the kingdom.
