Dremon
Primarily a seafaring trade empire, Dremon is one of the two countries along with Ushye which funds the Explorators Guild’s expeditions.
Structure
The Emperor is more of a sitting title for a governing system that no longer exists however the Patricians and Senators respect the royal family, if there is ever a deadlock in congress the Emperor settles it.
Patrician families provided the empire’s political, religious, and military leadership.
Most patricians were wealthy landowners from old families, but the class was open to a chosen few who had been deliberately promoted by the emperor.
They were educated as young men for leadership, learning poetry and literature, history, and geography.
The patrician class enjoyed special privileges: its members were excused from some military duties expected of other citizens, and only patricians could become emperor.
Being a patrician carried its own dangers: patricians could find themselves becoming wrapped up in palace plots for power. If they lost, they could lose their homes and even their lives. If this was the case they could potentially even lose their family name and their line could be put into indentured servitude as "Landownt"
The Senators are an advisory council put together by the king, however to qualify for the advisory council as a lifetime politician you must be voted on by the public at large. These Senators can not be stripped of rank of profile except by the Emperor or based on substantial circumstances of treason.
Plebians working class, the plebeians had little individual power. Grouped together, however, they could form a mob and had to be handled carefully.
The Dremon Navy is actively the most successful Naval force in the world and their soldiers were rightly feared for their training, discipline and stamina. As a result, the Navy is a major player in politics and maintaining its "loyalty" was paramount to any diplomatic missions, exploratory missions and to any good merchants success...
Landow, former slaves could work in the same jobs as plebeians – as craftsmen, midwives or traders.
However, society attached importance to social status and even successful Landow usually found that their past slavery was hard to overcome, people in the higher classes still looked down on them and treated them poorly.
Public Agenda
Primary goal of any nation is to be sustainable and to defend yourselves against the barbarians at the gate. With that said the current public enemy number one is Ushye whomst Dremon has been in a cold war with for the past 2 decades. The current task at hand is "The Liberation and humanitarian relief of Ocrium."
Demography and Population
The population of Dremon consists of over 90,000 indivduals on based on a 10 year census however Landows and Landownts are not considered for this census so the indentured servant population might raise that total.
The demographics of Dremon weights heavily towards human however the standard array of Dragonborn, Tieflings, Orcs and Elves are to be expected as well.
Territories
Dremon is based on old ancestral lands, for hundreds of years different monarchies made the attempt to claim lands across the province however most were eventually settled upon after several barons banded their armies together and conquered all those who did not bow to their chosen Emperor.
Military
Dremon composed the most powerful Navy in the known world along with factions of Marines and the largest Merchant navy currently active in the world.
Dremons army consists of Sell Swords from several different mercenary factions however their dominance of the seas and trade routes are what make them a formidable fighting force.
Foreign Relations
Dremon shares a border with Ushye, Galtea, The Republic of Isos, Valchex and Ocrium.
Ushye and Dremon are currently in a state of Cold War with one another based on an increase in naval actions by Dremons superior navy and due to an underground void stone trade as both nations continue to attempt to crack the code to transform a regular void stone into a powerful item capable of winning wars or at least increasing the odds in one country or the others favor. With that said due to increased threats by merchants both countries have agreed to an intercontinental road system that would cut through the mountains separating the two countries; however due to many setbacks what was once considered a 3 year project has lasted for 10 years with another 2 years of excavations through the mountains to be expected.
Dremon and Galtea have a stressed relationship. Galteas large standing military puts stress on Dremons people however Galteas primarily a farming nation without a vast Naval presence that Dremon has. Naturally the two should be great allys however several border disputes have put the two at odds and Galtea marched troops to the border and Dremon established a naval trade blockade. The depute was resolved after 3 months of negotiating and pressure from the Explorators Guild which operates in both countries caused both nations to come to the table to establish proper borderlines.
Dremon has a sizable merchant and diplomatic presence in the Republic of Isos, the strain this puts on the neighboring countries is noticeable and was possibly one of the reasons Galtea and Dremon had a 3 month long standoff. Dremon fully recognizes the Republic of Isos independence and is actively striving to use Isos trade routes to bring merchant goods back to Dremon to then sell via their vast Naval trading routes.
Dremon and Valchex have an extreme relationship, Valchex is home to the Devil Binder Empress, Fiona-Vas-Delacroix and her Erinyes Honor Guard. Additionally every Barony along Valchex borders that submits to Empress Delacroix regime has the guarantee to be provided a bound devil honor guard. However there is a catch, all those who die within the borders of the ever expanding Valchex Empire will be bound to one of the Nine Circles of Hell. With this in mind the outer territories of Valchex can be unruly and damnable and additionally this guarantee that ones soul goes straight to one of the Nine Circles of Hell does not put anyone in the borderlands minds at ease and causes fear in the hearts of those who even thinks of stepping into Valchexan territory.
