Gnormandy
Home to about 17 million people, over half of them gnomes, this kingdom is ruled by former Protectors Keem Goldthrone.
History
Prior to 543 AP, Gnormandy had been ruled by King Adolf Goldthrone and Queen Anastasia Goldthrone. Gnormandy, at the time, was fairly successful, gaining most of their wealth from mineral deposits and the inventive tinkering nature of the primarily gnomish population. However, it wasn't perfect. The gap between the upper and lower class grew increasingly large towards the mid-6th century, and the royal family began to accrue much of the country's wealth through taxation on trade and everyday expenses.
This remained until a rebellion led by Keem Goldthrone, prince of Gnormandy and heir to the throne, overthrew the palace and killed the king and queen after the royal family had been hoarding much of the country's wealth, an accusation of which was very grounded. After beginning a violent revolution in the homeland, Keem was ousted from the country by a remainder of the royal guard, finding himself in Cambeth.
In Cambeth, Goldthrone quickly became subject of careful watch by the Underground (now the Protectors), which quickly turned into an imprisonment which lasted a few months. During a pirate siege on Cambeth in which the Protectors fought in the streets, Goldthrone saw an opportunity to escape, which he did. After aiding in saving the world with a questionable standing with the Protectors, Keem returned to Gnormandy and united the rebellion-torn nation under his kingly rule.
Thenceforth, Keem established a socialist economy with himself in power, as well as an absolute monarchy ruled over by the Goldthrone family. Goldthrone has been king for 30 years as of 575 AP, and has perhaps distanced himself from his time as an Elite Protectors the furthest of any of his former teammates.
Demography and Population
Gnormandy's population consists of about 17 million people, over half of them being gnomes.
Racial Makeup
Military
Gnormandy has a fairly standard military (pretty well armored and armed), but the most notable member is none other than the king himself. King Goldthrone will absolutely and willingly thrust himself into battle, easily being the best member of the military.
Technological Level
Gnormandy has a similar kind of technological development to Wildebourne, although not being near the level of efficiency and industry that Wildebourne is famous for. Currently, Gnormandy's trading with Wildebourne is making their countries increasingly similar.
Agriculture & Industry
Gnormandy runs on socialism, so the population is fairly balanced between necessary agriculture and industry. Lately, more of the population has been assigned to industrial work, which is actually the preferred field of work among most of the population. Gnormandy strives for an industry similar to Wildebourne's, meaning not magic-centered like Valland.
Trade & Transport
Gnormandy is currently underway in the construction of Wildeburnian railroads, which will greatly increase the efficiency of commerce between Gnormandy, Wildebourne, and all of its trade partners.
