Vehemena

The United Vehemenic Empire, commonly known as Vehemena, is a large state on the continent of Ohoroh. Situated on the southern edge of the Tshenlai Peninsula, the state is a totalitarian absolutist monarchy, led by a figure known as the 'Datenogai'. The monarchs of the empire claim to be the successive reincarnations of Palshang, the Tiankamto God of war. Vehemena is known as a backwards nation, with little to no industrial progress being made, and an army which languishes in the past, with very few of the troops even having the earliest of gunpowder weaponry.
==Slavery in the Empire==
Vehemena is notorious for the prevalence of slavery within her borders. It is estimated that around 60% of the population are slaves, traded from the western coast of Isaevi, or captured in numerous border raids on the states of Shiyonin and Swani. Another 25% of the populace are serfs, bound to the land on which they toil in oppressive and miserable conditions. The remaining 15% of the populace are composed mostly of the nobility, administrative classes, and merchants.
The army of Vehemena is mostly composed to slave levies, drafted in and equipped with ancient cast-offs. It is for this reason that the reputation of the Vehemenic army is among the worst on Oryndiil.
