Internet access: Average
Dominate Transportation Method: Some lower class still use horses for transortation, but trains are the norm. two airports exist besides military bases.
Television access: average, not many channels.
-Style-
I plan to use the royal family and council for foreign affairs, probably creating alliances and trade agreements. Internally, the royal family and council tend to be two opposing forces. I also expect some roleplay with the lower class as well, including some small stories there should be interesting.
-History-
History records only go back so far, the start of the royal family is lost to the ages. The council was made as an agreement to give several powerful nobles some power to avoid a civil war a few centuries ago. The entire royal family and all the noble families are all completely made up of felines, with mice and other small rodents making up the lower class. Long ago the rodents were serfs but recently have been gaining more rights. The history of the mystic advisers to royalty dates back to when a traveling band of foxes came to the king with a warning of great disaster. The king ignored the warning and the land was covered in a drought. The king begged the foxes for help and they used "magic" to end the drought. Ever since, foxes have worked as mystic advisers.
-Relations to other nations-
Military agreement with Aluez, several small joint conquests against small rodent nations.
Royalty was originally only a small group with all besides the first-born son forced to become knights and such, until a large litter decided to rebel and, in face of certain doom, the king made an agreement to create a noble's council for the other sons which still stands today.
