3. Nation Description:
The Kingdom of Bruana is a semi-constitutional monarchy that contains a relatively small senate of ten members to represent the king’s subject and are elected by the people. Every three years the king must choose three members of the council of ten who he wishes to replace, which the people then must vote for landed noblemen whom they wish to take the now empty seat. In the event that a council member dies serving the senate he shall not be replaced until time of elections and his vote shall be counted as abstained until next election. Once election comes he shall automatically become selected as one of the king’s replacements, in an event that four or more members have died than four or more members shall be replace that year depending on the amount needed to fill the seats.
The Council itself has the power to adjust and create new taxes, arrange peace, declare wars, and decide upon matters of internal politics if 6 out of 10 members agree upon the decision. If the votes are split then the decision will not pass, unless the king himself wishes to intervene at which he can choose to pass the decision anyways. If the king feels any or all members of the council are corrupt or are actively working against the interest of their fellow country men, then he has the power to temporarily suspend their power within government until a proper vote has taken place among the other landed noblemen in their country.
4. Nation History:
The kingdom of Bruana used to be united and strong, with her sister nation, the Grand Empire of Frienia, now simply referred to as the Former Empire of Frienia by many outside of the nation and her allies. This started with the death of Emperor Mathies VIII, due to sudden assassination at the age of 49, leaving two brothers to inherit the throne in 1794. Emperor Pieter III, first born of Emperor Mathies VIII quickly claimed the crown, however his younger brother Arnout II was popular among the noblemen and even within the senate.
Three years later in 1797, in an attempt to hold onto his power, and eliminate the threat of the noblemen or even his own brother from turning on him, Emperor Pieter III banished his brother from the Empire in its entirety. However this turned to be his biggest mistake, as Arnout II truly never left the Empire in its entirety, and instead gather support in the Bruanian countryside, where he prepared to overthrow his brother in a quiet coup. In 1801 Arnout II began his plot to take over the Empire, however it was quickly discovered and most conspirators, including Arnout himself were captured.
This however did not last, as nearly two days after capture Arnout II and several of the conspirators managed to escape at night due to the men guarding them favoring Arnout over their current Emperor. In 1802, Arnout II lead the country into a full blown civil war. Based in what is now considered The Kingdom of Bruana, Arnout lead this war leading to the deaths of nearly two million men died in the conflict that raged for six long years.
In 1808 the Uneasy Treaty was signed between King Arnout II and Emperor Pieter III neither gaining ground, simply agreeing to leave the territory as is. Split between the two brothers. The Empire, slowly began to crumble shortly after, and Bruana lived in a time of prosperity. However, it was not long before Pieter III’s son Rogier IV made another attempt at the lost territories of Bruana after that death of King Arnourt II whom was succeeded by current King Mathies IX leading to the Second Frienian Civil War in 1820. This time however it did not end in truce.
What Emperor Rogier IV misunderstood was that over time as the Empire wasted wars defending territories, the Kingdom of Bruana had only strengthened itself under its new rule. Low on moral and money, the Empire could not withstand another war. The demoralized troops at the death of King Arnout II where but a petty lie, perpetuated by King Rogier to justify the war and reclaiming the once lost land. It was a swift victory, lasting a mere year and a half, the Kingdom of Bruana capture huge chunks of territory, and important cities and locations leading to its dominant position over the falling Empire today.
