The Grand Duchy of Van Luxemburg

Van Luxemburg is ruled by a Grand Duke, Grand Duke Koen van Luxemburg.
if he wants to pass a law, he will make the law, it will be checked by his advisors and then the citizens may vote if the want that law or not.
Van luxemburg tries to bring freedom, democracy and technology in the peoples lives, this is at a price, the tax is set at 94% at the moment.
Van Luxemburg is preparing to adopt the French Army, which should mean that all specs of the van Luxemburg Army, Airforce and Navy, can be found on this website: here but only the ones under "French Armed Forces" (http://homepage.eircom.net/~steven/europe.htm) .
the Van Luxemburg Army has six main weapons:
The Famas Felil weapons system

History:

200 B.C. is the first time people heard of the name Van Luxemburg, it was the name of a great Gallic chieftain after the Romans captured the Tribe of van Luxemburg 400 years of oppression began. after van Luxemburg Tribe had regained it's independency, it joined the French kings and the chieftain of the tribe became one of Karel the Great's landlords, altough this was never recognised by archeologists outside van Luxemburg. when the Tribe growed out to a small nation, the contact with history was lost, but we got some clues what happened next: in one of the Crusaders van Luxemburg Participated, the Duke was killed, taking his son to power, this son, incapable of ruling, has ruined van Luxemburg, a blow which the van Luxemburgers couldn't have, they recovered from it in the 18th century, when Napoleon invaded their country, ruining everything again, this was the time the Foreverlasting Neutrality was accepted. after that Van Luxemburg has known a time of great grow, during to present times.
