Scania

The northern most country of Nineveh is loaded with high mountain ranges, flat snowy plains, and technological advances. The most recent advancement was the use of steam. The capital Felldion is the main point of this country. Most towns outside of the capital are small mining or farming towns, any small settlement in Scania is very poor. No one except the crowns guard, and the occasional adventurer, come through the villages. The northern coast of Scania is completely void of human settlement and has large stone cliffs that drop off into the icy raging sea. The country is currently under the reign of King Ronald Ambers VIII. His ancestor King Ronald Ambers I was the world leader to come up with the Treaty of Compromise which led the continent of Nineveh to come together as a whole. King Ronald Ambers VIII is a benevolent King who is respected by all in Felldion. He gives his all for the country his forefathers had worked so hard to keep running.

Structure

All of Scania listens to the King. He has his group of nobles to listen from, but his word is final.

Culture

The culture here is very much like Viking culture, but only because of cold and snow. People love to hold feasts, drink and keep as warm as possible.

Public Agenda

The main agenda in Scania is to progress further in technology. They have steam and clock/gear powered inventions, but they want more.

Assets

Machines and armor are the primary assets in Scania. The immense amount of product they pump out is enough to fuel the whole country. There are guilds and factions here as well that help with Scania, and Felldion's success.

History

Scania was founded alongside the other six countries once the War was over. Scanias borders were ultimately decided by the gods, but Udos, god of Time insisted on Scanias borders to be aligned with the mountain ranges. The country has always been cold. Udos liked the idea of the creatures who live there to be hardened, people who work for their living. Creatures and monsters large and fierce. Now in present day 677 P.W. this still holds true. Felldion is the largest capital city in all of Nineveh. They have the most advanced technology currently in all of known Baltharos.

Territories

Scania takes up the northern top part of Nineveh.

There is the Felldion Crowns Guard which live to serve and protect Felldion. Other than that most of Scania's towns and smaller cities are protected by the few Crowns Guards sent to any sizeable area.

Foreign Relations

Scania trades almost exclusively with Trodin. All of their imports are simple needs. Anything else is made in Felldion. Scania has a decent relationship with Jascana however, the people of Jascana are just too friendly for the majority of Scanian residents. There is some bad blood with Kleumizura but, who doesn't?

Trade & Transport

There is the Scanian Train System. Clockwork and steam powered machines are the most common trade product coming from Scania.

Education

The general education is relative to wether or not they were raised in the capital. Also it matters where in the capital. If you are born and raised in the lowest ring of Felldion then the education there is not the greatest. Really only the two upper rings in the capital have an education system. In the middle ring there are a couple schools all under the main Felldion Academy.

Infrastructure

Scania is the most advanced country with a working sewege and plumbing system for most people here.

Mythology & Lore

Everyone in Scania worships and follows Udos, god of Time. While there is no real prejudice to anyone else, not worshipping Udos is seen as weird and unnatural.
