Ice Kingdom

Brrrr! This Kingdom is cold, and so is their way of living! The Ice Kingdom is one of the coldest regions on Acciphere, but the people living there are also very friendly, and can make you feel warm even in a cold situation. They occupy a fair bit of land, making them the third largest kingdom on the planet.

Structure

The major government only has a few basic rules on the Kingdom, whereas each state has its own separate rules as well, which contain the Kingdom rules as well.

Culture

The culture of the Shiverians is very vast, and it is almost impossible to talk about the different cultures that each family takes part of. But one way or the other, their life in the Ice Kingdom has led to many cultures that are similar to each other in a way. For example, they all believe in the Ice Goddess Krystanasa, who supposedly helped the Kingdom after they performed a 20 year ritual for protection from the others. Some know her as short, and carrying a bow, whereas some others remember her as a tall lady with a broadsword.

Assets

The Ice Kingdom has an unnatural amount of Hamervold Coal present in the ground. They use it mostly to power their engines and use it to trade it on the Dragontail Route for many other materials from other Kingdoms.This makes them rich as they are the only kingdom in control of the Hamervold Coal.

History

The Ice Kingdom originally started as a team of explorers went on a journey to exploit Acciphere. Then they found the massive expanse of Hamervold Coal in the area, so they decided that there be a separate industry over there that could mine, extract and refine the coal. So the industry had been built. As they discovered more coal, and the demand had grown, more people were employed to work in the factory, effectively starting the development of a town they named Shiveria, after the coldness of the place. By the time of the Kingdoms Division act, Shiveria has already grown into a huge city and had given birth to other small towns around it. Since it was too small at the time, it was made part of the Water Kingdom. But the council rejected the idea.
THE FIGHT FOR A NEW KINGDOM
the people were in rage. Multiple people marched to the City of Banswick to demand for an Ice Kingdom. One day the king noticed the plethora of people on the Banswick main road. They barged into the palace and caused a ruckus in the palace until he forcefully had to sign off the whole area behind the Krystanasan Mountain ranges to them. Thus, The Ice Kingdom was born.
ICE KINGDOM'S DEVELOPMENT THROUGHOUT THE AGES
At first, the Ice Kingdom was a hopelessly desolate place, with not enough land to farm, not nay animals and no resources except tons and tons of Hamervold Coal. So they greatly depended on their sister, the Garfaxin Kingdom, for cash crops and food crops. It finally became self-sustainable after almost 50 years, with multiple cities and trade centres everywhere and suitable farming centres to the south of the Kingdom. Though this Kingdom may have had very rough start, It has certainly had an amazing adventure throughout the ages!

Territories

The Ice Kingdom holds the Southernmost part of the Far Lands to the sandy beaches of Cadosar. It lies behind the Krystanasan Mountain range, named after the Ice Goddess herself. The Dragontail Route connects the Ice Kingdom to the rest of the world, though they use boats just as often to travel.

Technological Level

The Ice Kingdom may not be as technologically advanced as the The MechaGods Kingdom, but they can wreck damage as well. They are known to collaborate with the LavaNord Kingdom to invent lava-filled ice balls and the cannons to shoot them. They live on a fairly technological and scientific level.

Agriculture & Industry

There is minimal agricultural progress, considering that the climate doesn't suit the agriculture, but the kingdom makes up for this by trading Hamervold Coal with the rest of the kingdoms in exchange for food, meat and other exclusive items. They lead in the coal industry, with many tonnes of coal being mined, refined and exported each year.

Trade & Transport

The Ice Kingdom usually trades near the Dragontail Route, though trading is also done inside the kingdom as well. As for transport, cars are often used, with boats being used for sea voyages. People usually use bullock-carts and chariots too, but that's only in villages and towns. There is also public transport like the skylines and buses, present in only towns and cities.

Infrastructure

The Kingdom has a fairly advanced network of skylines in all the major cities, and all of them are connected via trains and roads. Each city is guarded by a wall and heavy military. There exists also different areas in the settlement. The importance of the buildings determines how far it is located from the walls, with important buildings like the legislative assembly and the president's house being located near to the centre, whereas small apartment buildings often are located nearer to the walls.
