OOC: Former factsheet based on our RPs in the Cursed Continent. Will change information as required. Was originally somewhere between the sizes of AK and Greece (Which the country's statistics such as exports and hazards are heavily based upon). ^_^; The United Provinces of Fenwick Multis e gentibus vires Size/Location/Description: Fenwick's approximate land mass is 460,150 square miles in area. This measure includes only land areas controlled by the Provinces. Climate of the area is temperate; mild, wet winters; hot, dry summers. The local terrain consists mostly mountains with ranges extending into the sea as peninsulas or chains of islands. Natural resources that Fenwick readily exports are lignite, petroleum, iron ore, bauxite, lead, zinc, nickel, magnesite, marble, salt, and hydropower. Arable land is approximately 21.1% of the territory, while permanent crops only cover 8.78%. There is an estimated 55,218 sq miles of irrigated land. Natural hazards are severe earthquakes, hurricanes, and coastal flooding. National Colors: Blue and White National Motto: Multis e gentibus vires ("From many peoples, strength") National Flag: The centerpiece of the flag is based upon the burial tradition of the warriors from the original capitol of Aedmon. When a warrior was burned on the pyre, his shield and sword were laid upon his chest to be burned with him. The blue sunburst was the most commonly used shield art on the circle shields for the Aedmoni. The two stripes at the edges of the flag represent the two incarnations of the country itself: once as the Aedmoni Empire, and then as the Unified Provinces. National Currency: The Atom, a basic coin system that has been the basis of trade in Fenwick for the better half of a millennia. Minor changes in the coin structure, such as the face appearing on various denominations and the introduction of paper currency has occurred, but the name has persevered in spite of the shared scientific term. Government Expenditure: ![]() National Animal: The Spotted Dolphin National Flower: The Yellow Lotus, Nelumbo lutea National Language: The native language of the Fenwicki has given way to Lodoss Trade Standard (Or whatever the equivalent of "Common" is in Alterra) in the most recent century. While it is still spoken, Fenwicki is rarely heard outside of learning institutions or chatter between aging citizens. Nation's Capitol: New Aedmon The city of New Aedmon lies at the northern end of the central Arconian plain, on the right bank of the river Etasmir. The site was strategically located; guarded from three sides by the Zurim mountains and controlling the routes by which invading armies could penetrate the area via the Lyssian Pass. The city is a center for trade, given it's access to the river itself. Many of the metal resources as well as marble are mined in the nearby area, which helped the city grow in size and power during times of antiquity. Government Structure: The head of the country holds the title of Emperor/Empress, though the real power resides in the Senate. The Senate is made up of two representatives from each of the Wards. In turn each Ward has an internal senate that is comprised of representatives from each of the provinces that make up the Ward. The Senate controls public finances and foreign affairs, military command, and also debates and passes decrees that would effect the nation as a whole, which would then be submitted for final ratification. The Emperor's role in the government is mostly as a figurehead for foreign relations, though he is also considered the Commander in Chief. In order to hold this capacity, one must have served in some branch of the Fenwicki armed forces as an officer. Emperors are an elected position, though the term is indefinite. In the event that a senate vote comes to a deadlock (or within 5 senatorial votes of a tie) the Emperor's duty is to act as a tie breaker for the vote. If any official's public opinion status drops below 55%, elections are held and the representative may be replaced with someone the people have more faith in. This includes all Senators (Provincial and Ward levels), the Emperor, and the elected Judges of the Judicial branch. Edited by Fenwick, Apr 9 2011, 07:25 AM.

Important Fenwicki Personalities: Imperial Family: Drexxel Davion Title: Emperor (Retired) Birth Date: September 23rd, 1945 ![]() Maeve Davion Title: Empress Birth Date: January 7th, 1949 ![]() Leighton Davion Title: Governor Birth Date: June 7th, 1976 Height: 6'1" Hair: Dirty Blonde Eyes: Green ![]() Information: Oldest son in the Davion family, Leighton was expected to run after his father's retirement. He however did not want the responsibility and chose to remain in the role of the Duke of the Northern Territories while his younger brother, Ned, took the nomination. Hobbies: Started studying the art of the staff as an accent to the martial arts training his father insisted on. Leighton tends to stick to the fantasy side of entertainment, reading novels about sorcery and swordplay. He was also an avid tabletop RPG and TCG player in his youth and still plays when he can. Childhood: Leighton was born during his father’s rule and thus enjoyed the perks of palace life. He attended a private school in New Avalon, taking on the schooling that was traditional for the Emperor’s children. He was considered quite intelligent by his teachers, but they had a hard time getting him to put forth more than average effort in studies he didn't enjoy. He still graduated in the top third of his class, earning him a place in the New Avalon Military Academy. Personality: Leighton mostly kept to himself, but with those that he made the effort to meet it seemed he never had problems making friends. Leighton always looked out for the interests of his brothers first, then the others that he knew. While in school and his brief term of service in the Royal Navy, he tended to portray his confidence outward. He almost always seemed like he knew exactly what he was doing, even when he did not. Once Ned took the office of the Emperor, Leighton's operational efficiency has seemed to decline, leaving Ned to confirm Leighton's actions when he second-guesses himself. Ned Davion Title: Emperor Birth Date: March 15th, 1979 Height: 5'11'' Eyes: Hazel Hair: Dark Brown ![]() Information: Ned is the middle son of former Emperor Drexell Davion and Empress Katerina Davion. He came into power when his father retired and his elder brother, Leigh, refused to participate in the nominations for the elected position of Emperor. Hobbies: Studied swordplay with broadsword from an early age and became quite proficient. He is an avid horseback rider, known to ride for hours on end. Fond of science fiction novels and shows, it is no surprise to those that knew him that the pushes he is making for the high technological advances are in aerospace technology and powered armor. Childhood: Ned was born during his father’s rule and thus enjoyed the perks of palace life. Under his father’s encouragement, he attended a public school in New Avalon, refusing special treatment for being the Emperor’s son. Considered quite intelligent by his teachers and peers, but also quite mischievous, tending to use his intellect for pranks and the like. On his 14th birthday Ned was sent to Demoness, Fenwick's main ally, to tutor the future Demonessian empress on their former colony’s current and past culture. While there, he was also completely immersed in Demoness' culture to widen his own knowledge. There he met Jia Li, Xel, and Yuri, and created a bond of friendship with all three that has endured. As he was in Demoness at the time, his schooling was handled through a satellite program where Ned graduated in the middle of his class. While attending school in Fenwick, Ned was well known and even more respected for who he was, not whose son he was. Personality: Known to be outgoing, he never had problems meeting people and making friends. Some would say he looks arrogant, portraying his confidence outward, but once they had gotten the chance to speak with him, realized the true nature of the man. Kind and giving, he was always looking out for the little guy and this has transferred into his rule as Emperor. Erryn Davion Title: Major (Fenwicki Army) Birth Date: May 19th, 1982 Height: 6'2" Eyes: Green Hair: Brown ![]() Information: A talented Special Operations Officer in Army Joint Special Intelligence and Tactical Reconnaissance, Erryn led several covert operations, swiftly earning the rank of Major. Erryn is currently assigned to Demoness in an advisory capacity to help with the Joint mission to bring Apostate cells to justice. Hobbies: Erryn's hobbies tended to lean more towards the projectile forms of weapons training. He started toying around with a bow in his younger years, moving up to crossbows and rifles in his early teens. In late adolescence he became almost obsessed with his accuracy, spending hours in the ranges on the palace grounds. He became an excellent marksman with almost any ranged weapon he could get his hands on. Childhood: Erryn was born towards the end of his father’s rule and thus enjoyed the perks of palace life until he joined the Fenwickian Army. Like his older brother, Ned, he attended a public school in New Avalon. He was considered quite intelligent by his peers, but he had a hard time maintaining relationships due to the amount of time he spent by himself reading or on the ranges. He graduated in the middle of his class, his JMOTC scores earning him a place in the New Avalon Military Academy. Personality: Erryn almost always kept to himself; those that made the effort to meet him found him rather lacking in emotion. More than likely this came from the event on his thirteenth birthday that left him with three gunshot wounds. He tends to be fiercely defensive of his family, as anyone who has tried to harm his immediate family members has found out. Government Officials: Yuri Kershner Title: Executive Birth Date: November 9th, 1960 ![]() Aphet Caoimhin Title: Voice of the Senate Birth Date: October 29th, 1959 ![]() Full Bios to be updated later. >.> Edited by Fenwick, Feb 9 2012, 05:43 AM.
