Eurovan Republic

Nation:

Nation Name: Eurova

Form of Government: Kind of like a Republic. It is a council of five elected people. They are called the Councilmen. Every free Eurovan can vote for their new leaders every year and there is no limit to how long you can hold office as a Councilman. There are two positions: One is the Head Councilman, which is only occupied by one person, and it the most powerful; the other four are just Councilmen. The current Head Councilman is Flambard Greenholm.

Economic Form: Capitalism

Motto: "Size matters not!" -Flambard Greenholm

Leader (Title): Head Councilman (Four other Councilmen)

Population: 35,000 (total of all towns)

Government Spending: The spending is not relatively high, as they are in quite peaceful and good times. A lot of the government spending goes towards renovations, new housing, the Assassins' Guild, and the guerilla forces.

Diplomacy: They are neutral with almost everybody, though some assassination attempts caused a few uproars. They work for money with other nations as mercenaries sometimes, but are otherwise peaceful folk, just trying to make their own nation happy.

Trade Routes: None of note, yet.

Military Size: They have a moderately large army, amounting to about 1,750 willing men.

Training: The training is top notch, but not grueling. They receive training in archery, swordsmanship, and stealth, mostly. Guerilla tactics are a must to practice in their army.

Armies:

The Guerilla Forces:

Allegiance: Eurova

Commander in Chief: Saradoc Boffin

General: Robin Bywater

Starting Location: Waymeet, the capital.

Troop Varieties:

-Cloaked Archers: They are elite marksman that are experts at hiding in foliage or trees to ambush the enemy. They carry bows made of the trees in the Buckroot Woods and have green cloaks. They are also equipped with a short blade usually, unless the person prefers to go with the bow alone.

-Halfling Swordsmen: They are the basic units of the forces, often popping out from the trees after the archers launch surprise attacks. They are outfitted with short swords and sheilds, also carrying slings and rocks for ranged fighting.

-Javelin Throwers: They throw spear-like javelins at the army that are shortened down to the size that a halfling could use. They are usually meant to go after more heavily armored opponents. They also carry short swords for close quarters combat.

Troop Numbers: 1,250 out of the 1,750 troops.

Training Quality: They are lightly trained, though their generals guide them with excellent tactics.

Motivation: To defend their homeland for the sake of good weed.

The Assassins' Guild:

Allegiance: Eurova and the Council's will alone.

Commander in Chief: Camellia Fisher

General: Camellia Fisher. There are no other higher ups. Everyone is treated equal, except for initiates.

Starting Location: They are quite spread out, but Camellia is stationed at Waymeet.

Troop Varieties:

-Dark Archers: They are an elite type of archers that have mastered the art of stealth and bows. They only use a bow and no other weapons, as they are meant to kill without any mistakes, thus exterminating the possibilities of a close up encounter, unless a mistake has been made. If they don't succeed in their kills, getting away will be hard for them, but according to the creed of the Assassins, they do not deserve to live anyway.

Silent Knives: They are elite knifemen that are known to be very quick in attacking and moving. They are often used for ambushes and sometimes for infiltration. They always carry two knives and poison darts.

Troop Numbers: 500 out of the 1,750 available troops.

Training Quality: Very grueling. Everyone is trained to meet their physical limits, and then to break them. They are trained both physically and mentally for the situations of stealth that will come.

Motivation: To serve Camillia Fisher and Eurova.

Characters:

Name: Flambard Greenholm

Race: Halfling

Age: 47

Gender: Male

Appearance: He is short (even for a halfling) and stocky, with curly dark blonde hair and sporting reading glasses. He usually wears plain dress clothes, including slacks, a button down white shirt, and an embroidered vest.

Personality: He is a very optimistic and responsible person, working his hardest for his people. He is kind and becoming to most he meets, but is always ready to deal out judgement if the need arises.

History: He was born in Waymeet, the capital of the Eurovan nation. He was always a smart kid, succeeding in his school and caring about his education over everything else. When he grew to be an adult, he was elected to be one of the Councilmen because of his keen wits, but was too young to be a Head. He studied hard and worked endlessly for his people until he was recognized for his works and appointed as the Head Councilman of Eurova.

Weapons: He does not have a weapon. He always said, "A quill is a mightier weapon than the sword, when used right."

Armor: Nothing but the clothes on his back.

Other Items: A quill, ink, and his mind.


Name: Camellia Fisher, leader of the Assassins.

Race: Halfling

Age: 27

Gender: Female

Appearance: She is at normal height for a halfling, but is very fit and limber. She has short brown hair and often wears dark garbs resembling kimonos and such.

Personality: She is very cold and calculating usually, oftentimes being strict in training. She is never off task and works hard with honor and pride, though she does not flaunt it.

History: Camellia Fisher was born in the Eurovan island, living her childhood as a poor beggar. After she was tired of poverty, she joined the Eurovan army, becoming the first female to ever join. It was protested at first, but she soon proved her worth on the field, working hard and killing with skill and without feeling. After a while, she was appointed as the main commander, but she gave up the offer, starting her own guild instead. The Assassin's Guild. She chose the best units from the guerilla forces to join and trained them hard, turning them into killing machines. She still holds her position as founder and commander of that faction to this day.

Weapons: She has two Assassin daggers and some poisoned darts.

Armor: She has a light chainmail underneath her kimono.

Other Items: She carries nothing else that isn't supporting the mission she is on.


Name: Saradoc Boffin

Race: Halfling

Age: 41

Gender: Male

Appearance: He has grey curly hair that is tied back in a ponytail and has a slightly wrinkled face. He wears battle attire most of the time and is normal sized for a halfling, though he is skinny, which is abnormal for most halflings.

Personality: He is a straight to the point man in conversations and has little patience for most people. He treats everyone with respect and believes that all are created equal.

History: Saradoc Boffin was born in the richer parts of Eurovan, living with pleasure, gaining whatever knowledge he desired. After a few years he decided to prove his worth on the battlefield as a guerilla fighter, and was horrible at first. Saradoc wanted to be great, so he trained his hardest and rose in the ranks, eventually becoming the commander and main strategist of the Eurovan guerilla army.

Weapons: He is one of the only halfings ever that is able to wield a full sword AND a shield at once.
