Ardkonian Geography is quite diverse,in the North are mountains and certain bits are snow, but in the South are jungles and many various plantations. Ardkonia is filled with grassy hills, the Northern sea is the only sea in Ardkonia, because South is bordered by another land. There are small islands to the northeast on which are some towns who gather coal and other minerals.
MAP
There are 16 counties in Ardkonia.
Economy
In medieval ages Ardkonia had their gold from the West-lands, which were rich in many minerals and gold was one of them. Government took control of the big important industries such as Water supplying and Electricity, as to regulate the whole country. However smaller things such as shops and other businesses are allowed to the citizens.
History
The History itself of Ardkonia, started when Mishal I or also known as Mishal the Mad, started an unsuccessful rebellion against the King of Margrad. Mishal gained the support of 10 thousand men, and walked towards the King's palace, each day it would turn more and more colder, when they were only some miles away from the Palace soldiers started finding their comrades frozen to death, the morale slowly fell. And when they finally began to run at the King's soldiers, they were critically outnumbered and they already knew they had to retreat. They ran back to south, then suddenly Mishal instead rode forward to the East, where there was a sea. Somehow they managed to steal many of the King's ships and sail towards the land which Margrad never wanted to sail to. After tiring days of voyaging towards the unknown lands he finally saw it.
As they landed they quickly began to gather wood, mine stone, and build settlements. Mishal had crowned himself the King Ardkon of Ardkonia on his old wooden stool as he saw his manpower of 4,000. He slowly began to gather more men around the world and then when he rode to the more eastern part of Ardkonia suddenly found Natives of the land he "claimed", instead of fighting them he married the chieftain's daughter and united the two factions, making his Kingdom even more bigger.
Military
The military of Ardkonia is huge, and clearly feared. (I use the NStracker.) The ground forces are elitely trained, and they are armed with AN-94 and MP-443 Grach pistol. The air forces of Ardkonia is also strong, in the times when air travel was just invented, Ardkonia was one of the most Avantgarde nations, always making new ways to use the fascinating machines.
Political Structure
In the very start of Ardkonia it was pure Monarchy, however it also kept Democratic aspects, and Ardkonia's kings had always asked the people's opinion. In 1675 King Kiriull had implemented a completely new thing in the Political structure, a thing he liked to call "Royal Council". The Royal Council had twenty seats, all of which are to be taken by the experienced politicians of Ardkonia, the people get to choose the politicians to take a certain seat each two years. It made the pure Monarchy to turn out to be Democratic Constitutional Monarchy, however with a certain twist - The King STILL was powerful over his nation, and he had a say in the politics and he could implement the new laws, however the Council may voice their opinion over it and they would be completely fine.
People
Margrad was known to have much redhairs and blondes, however when King Mishal ventured East to find the Natives, he and other Ardkonians had married the Natives, so there are also much Brunettes in Ardkonia, and it's quite a mix of Eastern and European look. There are thousands of tourists running around every corner of Ardkonia, photographing every inch of it's environment and large castles.
Foreign relations
Ardkonia keeps a friendly relation with each country, and attempts not to make war with anyone unless their allies are attacked. Ardkonia became rich when they began trading with foreign nations.
