The Empire of Yichnelevania is located in Russia, Alaska, Brazil, Bolivia, and Argentina. The geography reflects such. In the northern territories it is heavily wooded, lake and river crossed, and in places mountainous. In the Brazilian sector it is jungle and pampas (Grasslands) in the south, Argentina is Pampas and mountains in the west. All land areas come up against some form of water, mainly the sea, and the area is so large that, except in the major cities, the population density is very low.

The technology levels are high, slightly more advanced than the USA to day.

The government is hard to explain, the country should properly be called The Robertian Meritocratic Empire Of Yichnelevania, It is an Altered Meritocracy. A pure Meritocracy is a system where the best qualified person for a job gets it, this can understandably lead to conflict. So A Robertian Meritocracy is a system in which the person deemed the best choice for preserving the integrity of the position of King and it's duties of protecting the people is appointed King for life, or until retirement.
The King is responsible for leading the granted military, ensuring the protection of the people, ensuring the welfare of the people, and other such duties. He is balanced by the parliment, a Tricameral system. The US is Bicameral, meaning it has two houses of legislature, Robertian Meritocracy calls for a tricameral legislature. The three houses are; The House of Generals, the House of Governors, and The House Of Citizenry.
The House of Generals is made up of the high ranking senior military officials, they are the keepers of the military, but they cannot send the military into battle, only the king can do such, but only after the House of Generals grants the King a certain number of troops, once given the troops cannot be taken back, but must be given back at the end of combat operations. Various other duties are given to this house.
The House of Governors is made up of the various governors of the provinces, they are appointed by the king for certain terms, this house is responsible for legislation in tandem with the house of Citizenry. The governors can submit a formal Request for trrops to the House of Generals if the King calls upon them to do so. Various other duties are alloted to this house.
The house of Citizenry is made up of representatives elected by the citizens, they are responislbe for legislation in tandem with the House of Governors. The representatives can submit a formal request for troops at their own discretion, or at the request of the king. Again, Various other duties are assigned to this house.
The courts are divided into four divisions; the criminal courts, the court of appeals, the court of claims, and the high court. The Criminal courts handle trials, and the court of appeals handles the appeals of sentences. The Court of claims handles monetary and other person to person disputes. The High court interprets the constitution, and handles cases associated with the constitutional review.

The Main industry of the Empire is Arms Manufacturing and dealing, there are other industries, such as foodproduction, and technology industries, but they take a back seat unless they are integral to the arms makers. There are no weapons laws in my country, and so the distribution of arms is wide, my people are armed with the best weapons in the world, and my military is armed on a higher grade.
Corperations are allowed to trade freely with other nations, but on the same grade as the civilian available weaponry.

History:
Daniel Yichnel founded the Empire of Yichnelevania after freeing his family and overthrowing the oppressive government in place, this took place around BC 350. His empire then contiued until 1789 When it was overthrown by the followers of Rufus Gallant.
The government's power had been waning up to that time, and Gallantrium was born.
Many Yichnelevanians fled the country and settled elsewhere, never quite content with their exile.
In the year 1999 the name Jack Von Bondahar surfaced, at first in the world of the black market and organized crime, but within months it was on the lips of everyself respecting government official in the world. It was said that he had information that could collapse the world of organized crime, and that he was a dangerous assassin. Both rumors proved to be true, and in mid-2000 organized crime and the black market collapsed, and Jack Von Bondahar came out on top with an army of criminals and black market pirates.
He marched on Gallantrium, making it very clear that he was purely of Yichnelevanian descent and intended to ressurect his former country.
In December of 2001 Rufus Gallant V was killed and his empire fell. Jack Von Bondahar was intstated as king in late January of the following year, and by July had set up the Meritocracy.
He reigned until he was voted out of office in mid-2005.

The Knights of Elvinias
An order of knights made up of purely Elvinians. Johann Elvinias, born 2080, was amoung the first of what became known as Elvinians. At the time of his life he managed to gather 20 others and formed the Knights of Yichnelevania, but after his death they became called the Knights of Elvinias, and ultimately the people became Elvinians.
The organization itself is rather dark, not truly good, and not truly evil.
To join the order one must be taken between birth and the age of two years, the only known test is to burn the child, and see if there are any markings left over afterward. Needless to say, parents are opposed to this generally.

Elvinians
A subrace of Yichnelevanians endowed with special powers and abilities. There is no known way of passage, and very rarely, if ever, does a child born to an Elvinian inherit. The phenomenon is sporadic and untracable.

There are several powers that the Elvinians posess:
They are physically invisible to Juzians.
They are very highly resistant to dr ugs
The cannot be burned, but can feel the pain of the heat.
They do not physically age past 25, and have a lifespan of up to 200 years.
They posess Telekinesis to a very high degree.

Some have developed powers such as:
Mind reading
Immunity to Radiation.
Zero heat registry
Physical invisibility

Again there is no pattern to the aquired abilities, but they seem to come to Elvinians who need them.

The Sabre of Elvinias
The secret treasure of the knights. The Sabre of Elvinias himself. It is said to be endowed with his power, but was lost.

Also the highest award/order of the Knights.
