## Dual Monarchy of Astyria-Denishu

* Emperor Vedat Avci
	+ 39 as of August 1907
	+ Tries to maintain his sanity amid everything which is going on, is uh, well let's just stop at he's trying, that's good.
	+ He doesn't actually believe in and like all the police crackdowns that are going on here, but he's also not exactly gonna stop 'em.
	+ Enjoys gardening, but sh. Shhh. Shhhh. SHHH. Anyone who talks about this faces media suppression and maybe jailtime because he's really self-conscious about it honestly.
	+ Has a thing for ladies in military uniforms honestly.
	+ Is a little pissed off that it took until *his* reign for everything to start falling the fuck apart.

* Ezekiev Holtman
	+ Denishuan Nationalist/Radical Parxist.
	+ Smokes because he got into it in secondary school and also later the army.
	+ Kind of the edgy bad boy Parxist if you get me. The patient type, not very aggressive, kind of passive actually. Not that he sits in the corner of the room being edgy and smoking. He's kind of bad at communication though, and likes letting others handle that part for him.
	+ Grew up middle class, and was an Artillery Lieutenant in the Army. Voluntarily enlisted, but got extremely disillusioned, leading to him engaging with and eventually embracing Parxism and Denishuan Nationalism. Has a reputation as being a very patient leader, waiting for just the right moment to strike. Otherwise doesn't like attacking if victory isn't certain.
	+ Believes that Socialism can only be brought to the people of Denishu if it's first separated from Astyria in most governmental matters, but isn't opposed to still being closely aligned with a potential Astyrian Workers' Republic, as long as there is an autonomous Denishuan Workers' Republic first.
	+ Currently in a weird semi-legal grey area, is hiding from police just in case. Has vowed to return to the public sphere, though.
	+ Has a bit of a thing for Kyre.

* Kyre Slee
	+ Astyrian Radical Parxist In-Exile.
	+ Also exists in a semi-legal grey area, has elected to just flee the whole country.
	+ She grew up in a poor peasant family, as opposed to Ezekiev's solidly middle class upbringing, and it shows sometimes honestly. Not edgy like Ezekiev, albeit she still gets into the occasional fistfight. She usually loses though.
	+ Doesn't have any military experience and isn't particularly good at administration or wartime leadership, but damn, she can work a foreign power. Currently serves as the "foreign minister" of the Parxist movement in the Dual Monarchy, going around recruiting international support for the movement.
	+ Despite outside appearances, she's as militant as the rest of the movement, and is fully in support of completely overthrowing the Dual Monarchy in order to establish a Workers' Republic. At first thought that the end goal of the movement would be just one unitary socialist state between Denishu and Astyria, but has come around to the idea of the national liberation of Denishu.
	+ Has a bit of a thing for Ezekiev.

## Arkadyetsiya

* Ryavo Dynasty
	+ Tsar Dmitrii Ryavo, born 1706 (1731-1760)
	+ Tsar Dmitrii Ryavo II, born 1732 (1761-1788)
	+ Tsar Maksim Ryavo born 1768 (1788-1827)
	+ Tsar Maksim Ryavo II, born 1793 (1827-1845

	+ Annachiara Sabina Riedenburg du Firocco: Queen Mother
	+ Carolus Rimantas: patriarch of the Liotainian Orthodox Church

## The Merchant State of Firocco

* President Giovanni Marissco of the PLF party Born in 1860 by a middle class family. His father is a prolific newspaper reporter for "La Nacion" Firocco's largest newspaper with global reach, while his mother is a kindergarten teacher. Marissco is a quiet but calculating individual, educated into the University of Cartaginesis to study economics he learned how firocco's economic system operated and its short comings, especially regarding it's laissez faire aproach to the economy. Marissco with time joined the Llaves School of Economic thought which promoted a balanced aproach towards government intervention in the economy while subsidizing private industry and guided by the government (similar to Keynesian school) Marissco completed his dissertation for his doctorates regarding supply side economics and the Opportunity cost theory. His work as an economist at UoC was widely celebrated across the country and received global attention. Raised in a liberal household, he adopted a staunchly social liberal view on the economy, politics and society. His interest towards public office came apparent during the 1890s with the Firoccan Stock market crash of the same year, in which the conservative dominated house at the time turned the event into a partisan issue while ignoring the real contradictions of unregulated free market economics. Marissco published an manifesto advocating for the introduction of new banking regulations and the establishment of a Firoccan National Reserve. While this gained him plenty of enemies on the conservative PCP, the PLF wholeheartedly adopted his proposals into their electoral aims. By 1895, the PLF won decisevly the Damlis Courts and Marissco was invited to be President of Firocco due to his interests in public office. While his background is unquestionably around domestic policy and internal development especially towards economic reforms away from private interests, especially in the colonies, Marissco is also a tenacious negotiator, devoted to defend Firocco's interests. However his foreign policy knowledge is lacking, only seeing matters through the economic lense, hence his rather lax authorization of use of force by Firoccan authorities in order to fullfill Firoccan economic goals. His track record in his first tenure as President was quote "way above average" by Reportaje de las Cortes compared to his predecesors, however his goodwill and public support were diminished ever since his second tenure in 1905, His administration's failure to solve tensions with the Tsardom of Arkadyetsiya, Firoccan involvement in the Antargentinian Civil War, the diasaster at Da Rong Bay in the Dongfeng intervention as well as enabling the rise of the State of Orsetto and his desicion to withdraw geopolitical interests in the continent of Zamorozeit, further made his chances at reelection of a third term with PLF remaining in power remain slim the longer he stays in power.

## Rema Nova

* Imperator Claudius Theodoric (1869-1907) (5/6/1): The first Imperator to rise to the throne following the War of 1850, Claudius was a masterful diplomat and administrator, though a notoriously poor military strategist, graduating near the bottom of his class in 1844. While the position of Imperator is a traditionally military one, his predecessor, Tacitus Theodoric (1845-1869) believed that there would yet be some time before the next war began, and thereby appointed the man whom he believed would be the best suited for building the nation up to fight it. Claudius' reign was characterized by increased building projects, both naval and civil, as well as the highest peacetime mobilization in modern Reman history. As he grew older, however, some noticed that his behavior grew more and more paranoid, which would culminate in rising tensions with foreign powers during the last few months of his reign. He would die of a stroke in late May,1907.
* Imperator Romulus Theodoric II (1907-Present) (4/5/4): Claudius' successor, born Romulus Varo, was a more military man than his predecessor. Appointed as Imperator-Designate late in Claudius' reign after his predecessor in the role died of illness, he spent much of his time as designated heir in the role of de-facto commander in chief, having far greater military acumen than Claudius ever did. Upon Claudius' death, Romulus ascended the throne in the midst of a diplomatic crisis.

## Hangria

* Grand Priestess Maibe Ciriphia [29th grand priestess] (1865-1886-current)
	+ Maibe was previously a high ranking member working at the Grand Temple, and had graduated from the local university. So far she's been a relatively good leader for Hangria.

* High General Maani Ethiaphe (1887-1905-present)
	+ A rambunctious and overly active girl; Maani Ethiaphe aced the military academy at a young age and caught the eye of Grand Priestess after the previous High General was dishonourably discharged for embezzeling funds. Maani was placed in the council for her striking yet effective battlefield tactics that she showed in the academy, and has been working eagerly to turn the hangrian military into an even more mobile force. Some question her position and authority due to her being a (very) green general; but Maibe has faith in the Red Banner Cola-addict to perform well.

Comrade Minister Yi Xiuying (1XXX-1905-Present):

**Comrade Minister Kallisto Beridze (1885-1905-Present):** Calm, kind, and fairly well educated, the former liberian Minister Beridze was a natural choice for the Foreign Minister of Monmom's revolutionary government. Her Father was a mineboss who did his best to help as many of his miners as he could he died in the revolution. However the wider world has tested her education especially her trip to the Shelter Islands, where her revolutionary values found little in common with the L'acquan people.
