The Royal Providence of Aknir

Culture

Folks in Aknir are seen by the remainder of Verdans as a simple bunch, and most often aren't entirely wrong. The Akniri who aren't fighting are often living day to day farming, fishing, and drinking. Life can often be short and ended abruptly so the common people live the hapiest life they can by Singing, dancing, sharing stories and playing games.

Public Agenda

Aknir was founded in Verdai to contain and destroy the monsters that seem to flow from the country, and as such Aknir has a strict military regimen and fights to maintain law.

Assets

Economically, Aknir is a very poor country. Most of the countries wealth and resources are poured into a few major cities, namely Sernos, Ailbhafair, Aberlanve, and Ishtenra. Though the coin count is low, Aknir has a surpluss in weaponry, easily being the most well armed country in Verdai. Magic Weapons and Items are confiscated by the higher government to aid in the war effort.
Many towns and Villages in Aknir are agricultural in nature, managing to grow just enough food to feed the towns citizenry without charge. Instead, many common save what pitiful money they make to buy from travelling traders to upgrade equipment or purchase recreational items. As such, innkeepers and general goods stores raise prices in their shops so they may scrounge what they can to share with their community.

History

At the beginning of the First Era, it would immediately recognized that the nature of Aknir's land made it a danger to all of Verdai, so Boudicca sent her best warriors East to found a new country, naming her right hand to the position as the budding nations First Queen, Akni Ceinaghus the First. Rather quickly, Akni ordered the building of a massive wall around the geography's area. Not to keep people out, but rather to keep the hoard of monsters in.
Since then, the Ceinaghus family has struggled to keep power as the Scions of Queen Akni never quite held up to her Valor, causing a near constant contest for the throne despite the pressing matters of a never ending army of Chaos.

Demography and Population

Aknir has a lower average population in contrast to the rest of Verdai. Most of Aknirs towns and villages are skeleton crews, struggling to keep up with the constant waves of monsters. Sernos, however, has a population puching past 750,000.

Military

Aknir has a robust military dedicated to the suppression of monsters coveting the nation. Most Notable of Aknir's military ranks is the Wyvern Brigade. Trained Cavalrymen train Day and night in the Agon Wastes to master the art of aerial combat and keep the whole of the nation safe from the fiercest of threats.

Religion

Akniri people most often follow the Pantheon of Verdai, with the most popular gods being Boudicca of War, Athenasius of Death, and Masamune of the Forge.

Foreign Relations

Aknir has a complicated history with foreign nations. Walled off and distant, Aknir is often seen as Xenophobic and Withdrawn from world issues to Western Countries like Lokrein and Nove Modai, but are seen as Martyrs and Heroes by their border neighbors for risking the countries existence to containing and slaying monsters.

With Order and Might, Continue the Fight

The Confederation of Greater Gioveghanni

Aknir and Gioveghanni have a relationship that barely exists. Aknir generally appreciates Gioveghanni, however, based on what little exists of Aknirs economy has boosted after opening a trade route through the Dire Straights. Despite this, however, Gioven's generally regard the Akniri Government as xenophobic and fascist.

The Nomads of Halberghair

Aknir and Halberghair share a disdain for each others way of life, the Akniri seeing the Halbens as unsettled savages and the Halbens seeing the Akniri as rigid slaves to a militaristic regime. Despite this, they have a mutual respect for each other considering the monstrous position they find themselves in.
