Name: The Polis Sevastopol

Population: 16.364.000

Head of State:
By The Grace of God, Consul for Life, Ludwig von Tannenburg
By The Grace of God, Consul for Life, Vivi Leopold

Cabinent Ministers:
Gerktor van der Helm (Transportation and Civil Services)
Ubahns von Friedreich (State Security)
Anthony Drekcsler (Military Advisor)
Duhma Zureich (Education Secretary)
Vieldn Frushtack (Industrial Manager)
Hel van Helm (Commerce)
Durz Anders von Bethmann-Hollweg (Technology)

Capital: Sevastopol

Currency: Sevast Mark

Government:
On paper, the two Consuls Tannenburg and Leopold decide all government affairs with a council of assorted civil and religious figures acting as the voice of the people, with some minimal law making abilities. In reality, Tannenburg rules with an iron fist, quenching all voices of opposition in the general populace and council by using his personal motto: "when in doubt, kill."

The other Consul, Leopold, is merely a puppet. Bought by blackmail, luxury and a few small concessions; selling the other half of the country to Tannenburg.

Army Overveiw:
A highly competent, armed, and large standing army devoted to their god, God. As being religious fanatics, they happily trade their lives away to continue 'His word' and will gladly fight to death, for the heavenly award that waits there after.

Preaching speed and mobility, something inherited from being the doorstep of nomad invasions for as way back as Ghengis Khan, the focus is more on getting their troops around and behind enemy formations then trying to ram right on through.

Have an annoying knack, on wide scale and individual units acting independently of high command, by charging ahead without any amount of forethought; overwhelmed by their religious fervor to destroy the 'heathens.'

1.5% Standing, but most still enjoy celebrating their past culture with vigorous war games, exercising, horsemanship and recently, shooting. Making another 2% easily put into action, and happy to be of service.

Adjective: Sevas

Official Language: German

History:
Founded by the Grace of God in 1880 by Consul Franklin Leopold when he declared the city of Sevastopol independent. He launched a brilliant campaign against the decadent Mongol Empire in the area. Sevastopol's subsequent expansion by warfare, intrigue, and economic power brought them first tier power and the pride to go with it.

By 1914, it has expanded past not only the Crimean Peninsular, but also the three territories above it, and the other to the east

Imperial Meeage From: Gerhard Hanning Acting Foreign Minister of Waldenburg
To: Ludwig von Tannenburg Co Consul of Sevastopol And Her Empires

Despite our distance from each other we believe that our nations have much to offer one another. Firstly we wish to open formal contatct with Sevastopol, to the extent of opening a alliance between our nations, two powerful nations capable and deserving. We also offer our assistance in building up a Sevastopolian navy, as we are arguabley the greatest naval power in the world and would look forward to assisting another. There are many things that if you should accept we have to offer, many things that would be beneficial to both our great nations.

Signed:
Sir Gerhard Hanning (VIM)

The Polis' Navy is more than eager for someone to help them out in the terms of tonnage and training. Even though being on the Crimean, the country has for the most part left the whole floating thing to the peple on the other side of the Bosphorus, yet, with even better ships and range of such ships, the need for a navy is a obvious lacking in the military structure.

*Despite the fervor, the mostly isolationists of Sukiaida have kept to themselves. With problems in other nations deeper in Europe the nation of SUkiaida wishes to start relations with Polis Sevastopol.*

The Polis is always happy to make a new friend, especially close to home.

Hopefully, Sukiaida understands the need for the un-organized and fragmented realms of Eastern Europe must be brought to heel.

What fragmented states would be considered here? A united Eastern Europe would be best, but control of buffer states is a little dangerous.

While the Polis governmnet officially maintains cordial, even friendly ties with some of the mentioned "fragmented states" include Czechal and the other two states near the state. Whose name escapes me.
