The Kingdom of Immyr has existed in one form or another with the earliest Immyrian ancestors appearing in what was ancient Gaul around the 3rd or 4th year AD. From that point until the early 19th century, Immyr has found itself being passed from one master to another. It has existed as a duchy, a province, and at one point as a penal colony. Eventually, what is modern day Immyr fell under the shadow of the Empire of Illar, taking its place as one of many provinces within that massive nation. It was not until the rebellion of 1838 and the subsequent signing of the Treaty of Independence that the Kingdom of Immyr truly became a sovereign nation. In spite of Immyrian history books calling it a rebellion, what it essentially amounted to was a seperating of ways. It was a period of crisis within the Empire. The Immyrians were clamoring for independence. Rather than sink resources into fighting a rebellion that close to home (a conflict that would have been drawn out but would have definitely ended up with the Immyrians being crushed by the might of the Imperial Army), the Emperor seized the opportunity to be rid of a troublesome province. A treaty was signed granting sovereignty to the newly established Kingdom of Immyr. In return, Immyr agreed to maintain open the trade routes into central Europe and not charge passage fees for Illaria goods crossing their territory. As a result of this history, Immyrians in general are very patriotic and possess a very developed sense of self. They have not however, forgotten their roots. The Illarian flag is depicted very prominently on the 100 franc note.
Modern day Immyr is a federal democracy under a constitutional monarchy. Currently, four states (Flanders, Hainaut, Liege, and Namur) make up the federation. Defense, economic policy, and foreign policy are all handled at the federal level with states being responsible for education, health, and the like.
With few natural resources of its own, Immyr must import major quantities of raw materials and export finished products. With its unique geographical position astride one of the major trade routes in Europe, Immyr enjoys a certain amount of economic stability although fluctuations in surrounding markets can have dire results.
Being a small nation, Immyr maintains only a small, well-trained and well-equipped professional army, supplemented by a sizeable though less capable reserve force. With the expansion of the Kingdom northward, the need for a Navy suddenly has suddenly become very real.
