The Kingdom of Agnum
The crown of the south, a beacon of order in troubled seas.
The Kingdom of Agnum was formed in the wilds of the southern realms. From the marshes and deserts, beaches and rivers, the south was a wild realm of warring factions. It would take stronger invaders from the north to force the southern factions to ban together. Only then were they able to fend off the invaders and protect their lands. Enemies no longer, this hasty ally-ship lead to the birth of the Kingdom.
Agum quickly grew, eventually uniting the entire Southern Realms under one banner. At last the south could compete with the rest of Xanthiri's nations. Although there are still underlying hostilities between races, still forming relationships, Agnum is powerful. Their military, especially their navy, are formidable. Everyone contributes to the protection of the Kingdom. Truly, Agnum has served as a model to the rest of the world that peace can be attained.
However, invaders from across the sea are beginning to threaten the great kingdom once again. Their technology and magic prowess is impressive, though considered a non-issue by many. The invaders grow more and more troublesome as the days go by, and may end up being more dangerous than previously understood.
Government
Agnum is ruled by a King, elected by the Electoral College. King is the title of the elected ruler of Agnum, regardless of gender. The candidates to become the King of Agnum are chosen through a series of tests and contests to test ones aptitude for a variety of skills. Candidates chosen are usually unmarried, ranked highly in the military, and has a degree of some sort. King Neith is the recently elected King, and the youngest to hold the position. It is expected that he will bring about change, a prodigy from a young age.Territories
Agnum encompasses the Southern realms, excluding the neighboring Kito Isles. Agnum has tried and failed several times to absorb the Isles, yet still maintain a close working relationship.
Religion
Tasakm is the recognized religion in Agnum. It was named after a nomad who wandered the Itiri desert, and there became friend to spirits. It was through the spread of his teachings and findings that the southerners were able to find Tuin Oasis. As such, it is a very important aspect of Agnum culture, holding the many races together. Although Tasakm is the official and most dominant religion, other's are prominent as well. Martalism is the second most popular, and Dwarven Ancestor cults are very common.
The Kingdom may hold Tasakm dearly, but it does recognize a separation of religion and government. It is frowned upon to pursue a career in both religion and politics, to use one to uplift the other.
Agriculture & Industry
A large part of Agnum's wealth comes from agriculture of the Iguvu River, where lentils, corn, and flax are grown and desired by the other nations. Their use of Taurus as plows makes their farms very efficient. They also acquire gold from the Golden Claw mountain, which is especially valuable to Estea.
Education
Because military service is compulsory in Agnum, schooling provided by the military is a guarantee for everyone. It is believed that an intellectual, wise mind is paramount to making good decisions regarding life and death. A well rounded education in various fields is provided during youth, and there is specialized schooling depending on where one wants to take their military career. There is magics schooling, battle training, and medical schooling.
After mandatory years serving the military, citizens can either continue to higher education under the military, or go into civilian life. It is mixed, if one does well, its easy to get a good career if you continue in the military, as mages, soldiers, or doctors. If one did not enjoy their time, they are free to pursue whatever they want afterwards, though it is like starting over.
