Mersonia

(NOTE: THIS PAGE IS IN DEVELOPMENT)
Mersonia is a post-ilystanian tragian based nation situated in the Midlands of Tragia, home to places such as Westhaven, Volksheim, The Grimdover Forest and Mt. Kvada. It has consistently been one of the top 3 nations of Ottrion, matched against Uxora and Valkaria. It follows a Nordic-Celtic style, reflected in its own fictionial tongue.

Politics & Government
It is a monarchy that has been led by the Gerhart Dynasty since its formation, King Matthew I acting as head of state. The government is composed of many governing roles, those being Kaesir, Sjorn, Jarl and Strya. Sjorns govern the province appointed to them whilst also taking it on in their title (eg. Sjorn ____ van Grimdover), Jarl also works similar to this but with settlements. Strya's are governors, they govern a selected amount of land appointed to them, they do not take on any specific title and are viewed as more or so federal figures than feudal.

While being a Monarchy it boasts a variety of edicts, it believes in freedom of the mouth and mind, and that all Mersonians are equal at core- as they are all warriors. Welfare programs exist, such as free food once a week for common citizens as so starvation is kept at bay- to regulate this bakeries are dispensaries for the program, supplied with grain from the state that must be stamped with a seal of legitimacy, the stamp being the black shamrock (schwarsrami). It also has a strong warrior society, training both sexes from birth in hand to hand combat, archery, warfare and bushcraft- this likely stems from the Grimdover tribes that lived in the area and the hardships that preceded after the Invasion of the Withered Legions. Diplomacy, trade and technology also are a staple in Mersonian society, emphasised by the development of the port citadel of Westhaven by Gareth and Beaverdung.
