The Mercenariess

Overall Description:
Mercenariess aren't really a nation as they own no stretch of land they call their own nor are they in one geographic location. They don't own factories or the means of production within a nation called Mercenariess, for they are not what one would truely call a nation. Instead they are as thier name implies, mercenaries, soldiers for hire to the highest bidder willing to work for whomever, wherever and whenever. In almost every major city of every nation where they are not outlawed there is an enclave of Mercenariess, only a few thousand in any one place but spread out through hundreds if not thousands of nations. The Mercenariess are arranged by Clan, each has its own city or territory that no Clan other may infringe upon. They are ruled by the High Clan who is chosen by a session of Clan leaders ever decade and whose rule is absolute and without question. Most of the industry of the Mercenariess comes from taking odd jobs like protecting shipments for large corporations or becoming armed security. Yet what the Clans live for is when nations hire them, when entire clans are merged into single units where they may bring themselves undying glory in combat. Due to this high rate of causalties in mercenary armies the life expectancy of a Mercenariess is quite low, however Mercenariess women have a higher birthrate then most people living in industrialized nations. Because there is a lower rate of women soldiers to males ones there tends to be more males to females as males have a habit of dying off more rapidly.
