Monarchy of Sukiaida:
Population: 11 Million
Literacy: 75%
Capitol: St. Petersburg
Rulership: Constitutional Monarchy
Army(Conscripted): Regular (2%): Reserves (3%)
Ruler: Joseph Decrinsky
THe monarchy of Sukiaida was formed during the Napoleonic era, and were a nationc reated from rural peasants and large land owners based around the capitol of St. Petersburg. The nation orginally was an aristocracy where the nobility ran the government and the king was only a figurehead. With the begining of industrialization in the 1860's and 1870's, Sukiaida began to have a very wealthy merchant class. THis allowed for new laws to be created as the merchant class wanted the power. A legislative branch was created with a single set of seats, allowing for the owners of industry to ignore the poorer nobility. THis did bring some rights to the poor landless gentry as the cities began developing by the 1880's
Sukiaida is a growing industrial power, though still extremelly agrarian. It's industrial might may be great as time goes on, and if it's population rises. Spread out, railroads are minimal in the east, and only in the more industrialized west are roads and railroads better maintained.
The SUkiaida army is filled with infantry, though machine guns and artillery are starting to become widely diseminated. FOr an army that only 20 years earlier had 1 artillery peice per 20,000 men, the Sukiadian Army now has about 1 Artillery peice for every 1,000 men. A much larger rise. Machine guns are just starting to be produced in the country, so bugs are still being worked out. Mostly foreign machine guns are apart of every company of infantry.
The Sukiaida Navy is smaller than most as it only has cold harbors. St. Petersburg is the only harbor close to warm waters. And it is closed off certain times of the year. The Sukiaidan navy is therefore not centered around large numbers of huge gun platforms. The entire navy only has 2 Dreadnaught class battleships, and 3 Pre-Dreadnaught battleships at it's disposal. Most of the navy is made up of cruisers. A large number of Armored Cruisers and Protected Cruisers. As well as a large number of Destroyers and Torpedo Boats. All in all the Navies job is to protect a location that only needs protection 4 months out of the year.
The SUkiaidan Air Corps is connected to the army, and has a few scout planes and fighter scouts. This is all. It totals around 100 planes.
