Duchy of Gany

The Duchy of Gany is a Bonapartist state located in the Allegheny region of what was Pennsylvania, USA. It's governed by the Duke of Gany, and legislated by his Chamber of Deputies. The Duchy has twice crossed the River Gany in a bid to take the fertile lands of the west from Clan Okane, and Clan Cambol. In response to these incursions the 'so called' Oclarian Empire has rose as it's primary foe, and western neighbor. The two are either at war, or under an unsteady truce. The constant military activity along the borders, and changing political relations makes it impossible to tell. So tense are these relations that anyone caught by either of the two entities will be taken prisoner, killed if they refuse to surrender. If they do surrender they will suffer one of two fates; forced labor, or pressed into the army. The colors of the Duchy are Yellow, and Green.
==Geography==
The Duchy of Gany is a mountainous land. It runs along the Gany river to it's West, and the appalachain mountains to it's east. To the North are lands held by Clan Okane, and to the South by the ruins of Tannin.
==History==
==Government==
The Duchy of Gany is a Monarchy operating under a Constitutional frame work, and the Napoleonic Code. The Duke is Commander of the Gany Armed Forces, and due to the on, and off war with the Oclarians has instituted a state of Martial Law. The Chamber of Deputies has become almost none functional after several dissidents among them where arrested as enemies of the state. Gany is currently dealing with fears of Oclarian invasion, and raids from Clan Gumry.
==Armed Forces==
The Army of Gany consists of the Ducal Guard, and Common Infantry (who wear the typical green, and yellow of the Duchy). The state's isolation (via the Appalachain Mountains) means that it doesn't receive much support from the Empire, and thus it possesses a limited supply of Micromissles, which it saves for assault upon the Oclarians. This isolation also means that the Imperial Army is not only rarely able to send troops to support the state, but also that messages between the two entities must travel over mountains, and across forests to reach the Empire. Over all, the Duchy has had to focus on it's military more then ever. The Duchy has become somewhat of a Controlled Economic State that relies on Penal Labor to fuel it's military might. The Common Infantry are made up of Spearmen, and Archers with the Ducal Guard having a near exclusive hold on Muskets.
