Okeumi

Okeumi is a sovereignty in Eastern Arzodium. It is bordered by the Asyrun Barrens to the north, the Tavaniri Empire to the northeast, the Nafei Empire to the east, the Kingdom of Renjeh to the south, and the Arzodian Ocean to the west.

Background
Okeumi has existed as a trading nation for centuries, its success being due in part to its acceptance of both magic and technology. It is perhaps the most technologically advanced kingdom, being rivaled only by goblins.

Society
Military officials are considered to be upper class, however, there is not an extremely significant gap between the average citizen and the upper class citizen.

Structure
The nation is ruled by a military emperor/empress. After the current ruler dies, a new one is chosen based on his or her merit and ability as a tactician, a problem-solver, a warrior, and a leader. Despite putting nearly absolute power in the hands of the ruler, the meritocracy system proves to work well in choosing a leader.

Military
In the last few centuries, Okeumi has proven to be a strong naval power.

Navy
Personnel: 300,000
