Franka
“The mob may not know what is right and what is wrong, but when it comes to who will live and who will die, they’re always right on the money.” –Pierre Piscaud, Frankian politician
Kingdom of Franka
Structure
Technically, the official government is still a Constitutional Monarchy under King Phillipe XVIII and the Estates General. However, the National Assembly has taken de facto control under mob rule.
Culture
Franka is overwhelmingly the poorest of the Western Kingdoms in terms of per capita household income, but peasants are exempt from having to pay taxes and the government offers subsidies to mills offering grain at discounted prices to service poor clientele.
Territories
Climate: France.
Military
With the Royal Army in disarray following the riots, the National Guard is the de facto military power in the country, taking orders from the National Assembly’s Committee of Public Safety. The National Guard are a loosely-organized revolutionary volunteer corps made up of a mixed bag of vigilantes, political subversives, ex-army, and anyone looking for a fight. What is left of the Royal Army has mobilized to secure the borders.
Religion
For many years the people of Franka were devout worshipers of the gods, but with the rise of the revolutionaries in the National Assembly atheism is on the rise.
Foreign Relations
Franka has a long standing history of conflict with its neighbors, all of whom are excitedly interested in the decaying state of the Frankish monarchy. The Crown’s foreign policy is currently revolved primarily around keeping would-be attackers at bay while the Revolutionary Crisis is managed. The National Assembly are seeking foreign investments and capital to finance efforts to increase its hold over the country.
Agriculture & Industry
The economy is almost entirely agrarian. The economy revolves entirely around the sale of grain, wine, and livestock.
