Temeev's climate is, for the most part, considered moderate. During the heart of Temeev's winter, late December to early February, Temeev, nationwide, receives a moderate to low amount of snow. During summer, the temperature rises significantly, but not alarmingly. Natural disasters are uncommon throughout Temeev, though storms are known to hit the coast, causing some flooding. However, most major coast-line cities are well equipped to handle such flooding by dams, floodgates, and dikes.

Much of Temeev consists of ancient structures that pre-date Weldon and Green's Colonization. Oftentimes, very sophisticated Temeevian architecture was utilized to construct stone and clay dams, which were used by medieval Temeevians to create artificial basins, upon which they would build villages and hamlets.

Mountainous Temeevians would oftentimes construct sophisticated terraces which usually led up to a village at some point uphill. By doing so, these villagers diverted water from their village across the span of a hill or mountain, fertilizing crops. At times, Temeevians would construct homes at the base of a hill, so as you utilize left-over rain water for their own purposes.

East coast cities of Temeev are connected by a massive collection of highway systems, built in the year 1961, just 5 years after their construction had begun. This was considered the 'crowning achievement' of the Social Democrats/Progressive Socialist Party, which initiated the project upon assuming control, for the first time, of Parliament and the Chairmanship in 1956.

EDUCATION

In Temeev, a public education is considered a 'right', as laid out in the First National Constitutional Amendment Convention in 1903). Temeevian public education exists in every major city and village in the nation, and is offered 'free' from 1-12 grade, and a free public university exists for those who qualify by grades. Public education is paid for primarily through raised taxes on the middle and upper class of Temeevian society.

HEALTHCARE

Healthcare exists as a 'right' of all Temeevians, paid for by raised taxes on the middle and upper class.

Mourning Hymn

Mourning Hymn on the Frontlines, Britisian Version

The Armed Forces of Temeev (Militaree) are made up of two branches; the Royal Army, and the Royal Navy. In addition, there exists a Royal Airforce, a branch of the Navy. Consisting of less than 1% of the populace (1,500,000 troops), the Temeevian Military is one of the smaller forces in the region. Considering that around 50% of all troops are dedicated solely to logistics, the combat-ready force is made up of only 750,000 troops.

Troops train for around 3 months before they become certified soldiers. Officers receive a university-level education, higher pay, and a specialty in a science or business. Requirements for troops include, but are not limited to, physical fitness, qualified intellectual capabilities (intelligence), and a lack of serious medical difficulties.

ROYAL ARMY

60% (900,000) of all combat-ready troops in Temeev are members of the Imperial Army. Given quality training and weaponry, the Army is currently not involved in any conflicts, and is made up of reserve infantry. These reserve infantry are usually stationed in major cities in "Army" districts, and most are permitted to wander the cities for two or three days of the week before returning to training (some work second jobs for those two or three days).

Below: The average Royal Army Infantryman in combat uniform. Note: The same combat uniform is used by Navy-Airforce troops, and, on occasion, by Naval and Logistics troops.

ROYAL NAVY

450,000 (30%)Temeevian infantry serve as part of the Royal Navy. The majority of Naval troops are simply mobile Army Infantry, and many spend as much time on land as at sea, especially considering the lack of military deployment of Temeevian troops.

ROYAL NAVY-AIRFORCE

The Royal Airforce of Temeev is a branch of the Navy, usually deployed for short-range missions, oftentimes simply scouting the coast. Temeevian planes are light and small, and usually meant for reconnaissance. However, they are armed with the basic necessities of air combat. Another 10% of the total military serves in the Airforce (15,000).

ROYAL MILITARY LOGISTICAL SUPPORT CORPS-RMLSC

The RMLSC is common for officers to enter into rather than enlisted men; the RMLSC only accepts troops with a 2-year college education (which is provides for, free of charge). Logistical officers lead more comfortable lives than most troops do (though most troops are by no means deprived), in that they generally are not required to go through regular patrols and exercises. Logistical officers' work is usually confined to simply filing reports on current military status, keeping such a status pristine, and managing a certain amount of funds given to their division. Nonetheless, RMLSC troops are trained in basic melee and ranged combat, and are often the best and brightest of the Armed Forces.

The Temeevian Internal Security board is a specialized selection of Temeevian security analysts and (usually former military) agents who secure and meet the demands of the modern defense of the Temeevian Grand Federal Duchy. While the royal guard secures the palace grounds and the royal family, as well as the senate, the TIS secures the welfare of the entire society, as well as cooperates with the royal guard for the purposes of government defensiveness. The TIS is a central data-processing complex through which a variety of information is analyzed.

HISTORICAL

The Y897 was the Temeevian bolt-action service rifle from 1900-1943; it is manufactured in Satirus.

The Goode Rifle was a lever-action carbine used by Temeevian soldiers throughout the 1800's, then modified and utilized as an elite or militia weapon in urban areas later on.

[Temeev]

Temeev's seat of government, the Iberini Plaza, during Carnival and a theatrical play.

The center of Temeevian politics is, surprisingly, neither the capitol building nor the Chairman's offices. Rather, a plaza outside Iberini's city hall, the seat of the city's Doge, is considered the heart of public debate and events. Complete with debate, prayer, announcements, speeches, parades, Carnival, and theatrical performance, the Iberini Plaza is constantly monitored by reporters for current events. Iberini's city flag stands triumphantly on its post in the center of the square, rivaled only by the prowess of Temeev's colors, posted not far away to the south, in the Parliament-capitol building, above the city hall.


Above: Temeevian Parliament Building.
Temeev's Parliament is a unicameral representative structure consisting of 100 Parliamentary Representatives elected for 3 year terms. Split unevenly between the Orthodox Party (an economically liberal, semi-theocratic Party with an Orthodox-Jew lean/the majority party) and the Objectivist Party (laissez-faire capitalists who oppose the Orthodox Party's economic principles and theocratic outlook, but not social practice/minority), the Parliament, though elected fairly, is semi-oligarchical; those elected from both parties are primarily made up of elitists raised in fame and fortune, though not totally consistently so.


Above: Outer view of the Chairman's offices and Royal Palace.
Below: The Grand Staircase of the Royal Palace and Chairman's offices.

The Royal Palace and Chairman's offices are the second branch of government. Though the Grand Duke, the monarch, is the head-of-state and responsible for ceremonial events, and though he and his family take up the majority of the Palace's complex, the Chairman is the seat of power here. He is the head of government, and leader of Parliament. Conversely, the Viceroy, appointed by the Grand Duke, is actually stronger than any of the leaders, as he alone has the power to rule when Parliament approves a state of martial law. Though not the direct head of military operations on the level of the General, the Viceroy is essentially an equivalent of many nations' Secretaries of Defense.




Britisia

[Temeev]

HISTORY:

The indigenous Temeevians may have lived in established civilizations since 650 BC. Temeevians included three regions: "Afernian", "Western", and "Coast". Most western 'Temeevian's, who were divided into many tribal nations, lived in small villages for a substantial portion of their history. These nations included two broad ethnic groups:

-The Agumi People (of the region of Agum)
-The Tarmisulaan People (of the region of Tarmisul)

These peoples, who made their homes in the lands between what is now Montecon and Sibyna, lived lives that largely did not affect the history of Temeev until the late 1700's and early 1800's. The Agumi people, positioned slightly farther to the north and east than the Tarmisulaan. Though none of these peoples were united in substantial kingdoms, various warlords and chieftains led constant battles between the tribes over resources. The varied climate resulted in an expansive land of hundreds of tribes, each claiming different heritage.

The Afernians, to the far west, lived on the Afernus River, the present-day western border of Temeev. United since the early 600's, they established a rich civilization that included a collective of river cities, including present day Itolysus, Afernus (the capitol), Ugoslavonio (then known as Heraf), and Valart (then Yaraj). Present-day Dralt, a city that shares its name with the much larger settlement of Dralt in the nation of Augarundus, did not exist at that time, but fell within accepted Afernian borders.

Afernians existed in relative peace, at times at war with various nomadic 'Western' (Tarmisulaan and Agumi) tribes, though their largest conflicts occurred in the late mid-1800's against the 'Temeevian' (Weldonian) forces, and in the 1100's against western hordes. Their cities, which are recognized as highly advanced, still exist as Weldonian-Temeevian settlements, some architecture surviving to this day.

Finally, the 'Coast' Temeevians lived on the area, obviously, of the eastern coastline. Their settlements, Escrita, Iberini, Daylinor, Maladya, and Asolyum were mostly abandoned by the time the Weldonian Expedition occurred. Four major kingdoms made up this area until around 1700 A.D., at which point a series of disasters, barbarian attacks, and internal unrest led to the collapse of the last few. Escritans, Iberinis, Daylinora, and Asolyumians established significant confederacies/city-states; the Daylinorians and Escritans even fought for control over Maladya for most of their history, the city being considered an important utility with which they could strengthen their empires.

It is widely accepted that, upon gaining control of Maladya in 1699, the Daylinora Empire collapsed as a result of riots and rebellion in their capitol. Maladya, having broken away and established itself as an independent republic was soon eradicated by concurrent Daylinora and Escritan invasions; the two armies, massacring each other, destroyed the city, and Daylinora collapsed soon after. This destabilized the balance of power that had been upheld for perhaps one thousand years, and set into motion the events that caused the end of the Coast Temeevians. Escrita, which failed in its attempts to reestablish itself as a sovereign state, fell into anarchy, which incurred an Iberini invasion. The Iberinis, now the most powerful state in Temeev, launched an invasion of Escrita, and a second invasion to the much weaker state of Asolyum, but an earthquake and tsunami in Iberini badly damaged the capitol city, and the Asolyum-force failed miserably in their mission. A slow exodus from Iberini, due to massive flooding, led to the end of the last major civilization of the Coastal region, though a small city in central Escrita continued to exist until 1722, 13 years before the Expedition of Dwight Weldon. Barbarian invasions from a warlord of the Agumi eventually wiped out Escritan civilization. A small collective of civilized townships existed in the areas surrounding these cities up to the Weldonian colonization, and they were incorporated into Weldonian society not long later.

---

The Weldon line, descendent of the original family owners of Weldon Shipping Co, is the current, and only official, royal family of The Grand Federal Duchy of Temeev. Credited with almost complete responsibility for founding Temeev, the Weldon line is still honored in the modern era by Parliament, though their power is insignificant in comparison with their former authority.

Dwight Weldon, the founder of Weldon Shipping Co, was a well-off Praetonian industrialist born in 1693, a year after the founding of the Crown Commonwealth of Praetonia. Having originally been the commander of his own freighter, which transported furniture, Dwight expanded his business of shipping to a small fleet, with which he accumulated substantial wealth, and established the Weldon Shipping Co. Dwight Weldon was, however, also a heavy gambler and drinker (which, unfortunately for him, were two traits that had a habit of interacting violently).

When Dwight gambled away much of his vast wealth, placing the lives of his employees in danger, to an ironsmith, he felt that his only way to pay back the debt was through exotic riches. Setting off with forty-seven employees and three hundred risk-taking assistants (many of which were criminals), Dwight set off to the southeast, seeking unclaimed wealth. Throughout his journey, Dwight was attacked by many natives, Imperial powers, and his food supplies ran low.

Finally, Dwight came upon, the far south of Tyrrhenia, an area filled with rivers, and little native life. The rivers, deep and thick, allowed his small fleet to travel into a delta, where fertile land and adequate wildlife supplied the survivors of the journey with life. As they learned from the natives, the delta was known as ‘Iberini’ where a former native city had been constructed. However, Iberini had been annihilated by a severe flood several decades earlier.

Careful to avoid such disasters, Weldon ordered the construction of a fortress near the mountains overlooking the city. Weldon Keep, as it was called, was originally the capitol of the newfound Iberini, though its purpose was twofold; to house the Weldon family and government, and to overlook a public courthouse used in the case of flooding. As expeditions searched westward and traded with natives for luxurious goods, the populace of Iberini prospered and grew, new immigrants arriving from Praetonia and various other areas of the north.

Weldon, 60 years old, allowed for further colonization in 1753, and a massive force of settlers spread in all directions. Initially utilizing bribes and peace deals with the native populace for mutual prosperity, the colonists were forced to take arms when radicals in the native forces began to defend sacred grounds abandoned by the various Temeevian tribal governments. Iberinians, citizens of Praetonia in the land of Temeev, inquired to Dwight Weldon as to the solution, who advocated the full force of a war on radical Temeevian factions, who has, by 1755, taken control of the whole of western Temeev.

What followed was a bloody conflict between the two factions, though Praetonian Iberini managed to push the natives across the Afernus River, which separates Temeev from present-day Bavin. These natives fled northward, leaving the well-defined area of Temeev to the Iberinians under the command of the now 67-year-old Dwight Weldon. Now, in 1760, Iberini was declared the capitol of the province of Temeev, Dwight Weldon the temporary Earl of the forming principality. However, at age 68 (1761), Dwight was killed by a bullet wound during a hunting accident on the Afernus river.

Succeeding Dwight was his radical son, Edgar Weldon. Edgar, now 42, was not pleased with the system of Temeev’s government; though Praetonia exerted little control over its far south colony, Edgar did not have the full authority of a head-of-state. Edgar declared Temeevian sovereignty in 1762, awaiting a reaction from parliament. However, ignored by the Crown Commonwealth, Edgar Weldon was permitted to continue his experiment on the nation of Temeev well into 1770, at which point he fell ill to a high fever, which claimed his life not long afterward.

The Weldon family, with no heir old enough to claim the thrown (the oldest of the family being the 13 year-old Charles Weldon), allowed the first democratically elected head-of-government to preside over the maintenance of the Grand Duchy. Reagent Gordon Abbot was elected by a 57% majority of the nation’s vote in the first national elections for the head-of-government, and a full Parliament of 100 members, as decided upon by a committee for the national census, was also elected. Abbot’s opponent, Klaus Gertchent (a non-Praetonian immigrant to Temeev) was given the position of Viceroy as appointed by the royal family.

When Charles Weldon turned 22 (1779), he was permitted to inherit the role of Grand Duke of Temeev, though Charles, without incident, allowed for the now Chairman Gordon Abbot to restrict the powers of the Grand Duke to merely ceremonial purposes. 1779 was considered, for this reason, the founding year of the Temeev’s republican government, which added the term ‘federal’ to the ‘Grand Federal Duchy’ of Temeev.

Below is a list of the current royal family of Temeev, and their positions in government.

Colonial Infantry


Regulars
Temeev's "regulars" are moderately trained line infantry in service to the government of Temeev, loyal to the entire Duchy. They are 'average' troops, and are known for their green uniforms, and light armor.


Guardsmen
Temeev's "guardsmen" are the elite infantry responsible for the defense of the Duchy's largest cities, tradeways, senate, and the Weldon Family. Guardsmen are typically well-trained, but are defensive, non-mobile units.


'Employees'
'Employees' are troops commonly trained by the private industry, especially the House of Weldon, to protect certain establishments over which the military has little power. Employees are often in the service of trade fleets, local town-based militia, etc. and are the backbone of civil defense.

[Temeev]

RECOGNIZABLE BUILDINGS:

Skyscrapers:

The St. Paul Center for Community Finance was an early skyscraper used by Temeevian bankers from 1899-1935, and has been renovated since then. Located in Itius during the epitome of Temeevian western-industrialization, it was severely damaged by a large fire in the city, but, along with renovation, was redesigned in a less classical sense. It now is a more expansive facility, but, at the same time, is less tall. It was 345 feet tall at its peak, adorned, at times, with a Temeevian flag, increasing its height by 4 feet.

The tallest current structure in Temeev is the National Economics Forum, located in Iberini, the capitol of Temeev. Built in 1994, near the end of the Temeevian "Great Recession", it is the host of multiple conventions from leading corporations of various Temeevian industries. It has become a more recognizable structure since the downturn of the Temeevian economy in 2006 during a financial crisis. The complex has not been nationalized, but talks of forced-subsidies did arise in 2007. It is 1,196 feet tall.

[Temeev]

Name: Klement Chatzgel
Born: July 19, 1957. South Itius, IT (Itius), Temeev
Age: 53
Height: 5'11"
Nationality: Temeevian (mixed Caucasian: Leistungi, mostly)
Religion: Protestant (Lutheran)
Political party: Social Democrats
Spouse:
-Georgia Chatzgel (1979-1984, deceased)
-Francisca Chatzgel (1988-present)
Former occupations: Land contractor, lawyer, senator

History: Born in 1957 to a wealthy family, Klement inherited the blood of the Chatzgel dynasty; the Chatzgel family had been part of the original Paradox fleet, and had sailed with Dwight Weldon to Temeev, immigrating from Praetonia to the new-found landmass. The family had built a name for itself when Klement's ancestor, Karl Chatzgel, carved a bloody swathe through barbarian territories during the Second Expansionist period. Klement, a poor student and hot-tempered individual, was born entitled to a significant fortune, despite the fact that, in his early life, he was utterly incompetent.

While he did not take up an actual job until after his marriage in 1980, at which point he became a land contractor for one of his father's associates, he lived comfortably until then. Finally, he decided to study law, after the death of his first wife, Georgia. It was in law that he found some pleasure, and he became a mediocre lawyer (who, coincidentally, handled many cases regarding land disputes).

Chatzgel ran for the office of senator as a Social Democrat, and achieved the position (largely by a 'smear campaign' against his opponent) in 1994. He consistently voted 'present' until his bid for Chairman in 2006, when he was elected by a slim margin (42%, larger than any other candidate). Since then, his rule in office has been heavily criticized, and looked upon, by many capitalists, as a failure. The rising capitalist movement in Temeev has largely grown in response to government-caused economic collapses, which began, coincidentally, when Chatzgel became a senator in 1994, and intensified since his taking office in 2006. Many theorize that Chatzgel is a sort of 'fall guy' for the Social Democrats because of this.
