The Lands of the Northic Peninsular Region were long under the control of a weak state known as the Kand. The Republic of Kand was ruled by a weak central government and had very high capitalistic views, but during a brief revolution, the most powerful corporate syndicate in the region, the Schroeder Northic Trade Co., established themselves as the ones in power and took the reigns of control over the region.

The Company raised the standard of living greatly, establishing a massive shipbuilding industry to assist the fishermen and in turn the merchants that benefit from the seas. Resources are in pretty good supply, though there have been talks over expansion lately in the higher up parts of the company.

The leader, Herr Franz Adolphus-Karlshorst is very well respected by the population due to his very fair policies and respect to smaller merchant companies that allow for competition in the nation.

The Military, the Schroeder Corporate Security Force, is somewhat small but well-trained. It has an average Ground Force, who are mainly there to act as a police force in the cities or on border duty, an above-average Sky Fleet, composed of small planes and Zepelins for anti-ship missions, and a superior Navy who's main mission is to fend off pirates from the merchant shipping, though the corporate heads have decided that a deal with the largest pirate clans may be a good idea.

The main industries are shipbuilding and arms production, with fishing being a major chunk of the economy at 70% of the GDP.

Military:

Official Name: Schroeder Corporate Security Forces
Number of Troops: 67,000
Branches: Navy, Air Fleet, Ground Force

Ground Force: 9,000

Mainly used as a border patrol and police unit, the ground force rarely sees much real action unless it is fending off pirates or raiding encampments along the coast. A small and well-trained force, the people and the Ground Force are on good terms with one another due to their more friendly role in daily life.

Air Fleet: 8,000

The Air Fleet is the main recon and quick defense measure of the SCSF. Small planes are able to reconnoiter the Straights of Kand for any pirate or enemy movement and report it in to the larger craft, Zeppelins, to sink the enemy. A Helljumper brigade is also in the works, but information is scarce on its wherabouts.

Navy: 34,000

The Navy is the largest of the four branches and is in charge of protecting merchant shipping from pirates and other vandals. It also serves as the main offensive arm of the SCSF with its Naval Infantry. The Naval Infantry are skilled at boarding ships and countering the pirate presence in the Straights of Kand, and have been known arounf the region as a strong, powerful force. The industrial capacity for shipbuilding from the Schroeder Ironwerks in Banfreid, Hessen and Griswall have contributed much to the Navy by giving them the top-of-the-line in Naval Tech.

Foreign Guard: 16,000

The Foreign Guard is a new branch of the SCSF, manned by the new migrants to Schroeder Territories and Commanded by Officers taken from the Ground Force. They are recieving basic training as of yet and are being armed with the older Ludz SIR-M98 Rifles instead of the new Ludz SIR-M2 Rifles until they are trained and have proven themselves capable of handling the change of technology. There duties will mostly be Internal Security and Border Patrol for now, but that is subject to change once they prove themselves to the higher-ups.
