Mauricia Kingdom

Mauricia Flag

The **Mauricia Kingdom**  (マウリシア王国) is a country located in the centre part of the Aurelia Continent.

## Geography

The Mauricia Kingdom's territory borders with Answerer Kingdom, Gartlake Kingdom, Haurelia Kingdom, Nordland Empire, Papal State, Sanjuan Kingdom and the Trystovy Kingdom (Dukedom).

The upper streams of most of the rivers flowing through Haurelia Kingdom were located in Mauricia Kingdom. In addition, Mauricia Kingdom was blessed with various resources. Looking at the situation geopolitically, there was the **Morgan** (モルガン) mountain range to the north of Haurelia Kingdom and **Toledo** (トレド) River to the south. They became large obstacles in the way of Haurelia Kingdom expanding its territory.

Aleister Lake had never gone dry since the founding of the country. The Amrita River that extends from this lake was a source of abundant water for the plains. Mauricia Kingdom became a fertile country exactly because of the existence of this source of water.

Sugar was a sweetener that was made from sugar cane in the south. It was a product that couldn’t be produced in Mauricia Kingdom.

### Inhabitants

Humans, Beastmen

The **Antrim**  (アントリム) territory was run by the house of Viscount Antrim. The territory of Viscount Antrim was located northeast of the Cornelius territory. That territory had a long and narrow shape that was protruding into the Haurelia Kingdom’s territory. Antrim territory was called “Mauricia’s appendix” because of its shape. Three of the four sides of the territory were surrounded by Haurelia Kingdom. Antrim was located around 320 kilometres north from Cornelius territory. It was located on the eastern tip of the mountain range Morgan, which had little in the way of level ground, just like Cornelius. Viscount Bradford’s territory was located at the back of that Antrim.

The viscounty of Antrim was targeted by the Haurelia Kingdom and the Antrim house was annihilated in the first Antrim war. Antrim was placed under the direct control of the royal family since the death of the entire viscount family. The territory was ruled by the magistrate that was dispatched there, but the territory’s defense was in a state that hadn’t been touched at all.

Baldr Cornelius was promoted as the Viscount of Antrim.

After the second Antrim war, Baldr was later promoted with the rank of margrave, his territory expanded from the territory of Bradford, Falkirk and the former territory of Haurelia's Savoie county.

With the announcement of Baldr as the royal successor of the Trystovy Kingdom, he returned the Antrim territory back to the royal family. The margravite of Antrim territory was succeeded by William and eventually become the duchy of Antrim.

**Cameron** (キャメロン) is the royal capital of Mauricia. The gigantic rampart fully enclosed the castle town. In addition, there was the water that was drawn from O’Neill River that filled the moat protecting its outer wall. And then on this Aurelia Continent, no, the entire world, Cameron was the only capital that could be described as ‘floating on the water’. The water capital Cameron was a region where water would well up in most places if someone just dug several meters down. It was common for people to draw up the water by solely using manpower.

At the same time, this Aleister Lake and Amrita River were the last defensive line that protected the capital. There would be no more obstacles if this place was broken through. Since the founding of the country, Mauricia Kingdom had allowed an enemy invasion to reach their capital three times, but all three times the enemy would be completely helpless before this impregnable defence and forced into a retreat.

### Inhabitants

Humans, Beastmen

The **Cornelius** (コルネリアス) territory is run by the house of Count Cornelius. The Cornelius House was originally a family of military men who rose in the world by their achievement on the battlefield. They produced excellent military men for generations and continued to rise in the world from the rank of baron until they were entrusted with their current Cornelius territory at the rank of count, which had the role of being the cornerstone of the national border.

In the eastern region of Mauricia Kingdom, running along the border shared with the Haurelia Kingdom, there was a vast woodland area. The whole area was the possession of the house of Count Cornelius. This area had little farmland, but in exchange it was blessed with inexhaustible forest and mineral resources. It was also abundant with water sources.

The majority of Cornelius House’s territory was occupied by forest, with little arable land. It couldn’t be described as a good situation for their finances, but even so they were still the house of a count. Their family was quite wealthy when compared to commoners in general.

Cornelius House had woodland territory which was an area with high defensive ability. Even so, they were continuously being exposed to the great threat of the Haurelia Kingdom. Not only was the territory located on the shortest route from Marquis Selvi’s territory to the Mauricia Kingdom’s royal capital, there was also a grain-producing region behind it. If the Haurelia Kingdom’s forces managed the break through this territory, there wouldn’t be any serious defensive establishment until the capital. That was the reason behind the Cornelius territory being targeted so many times.

## History

Spenser dynasty that once unified this continent was extremely majestic. And in this whole continent, only Mauricia Kingdom, Answerer Kingdom, Trystovy Kingdom, and Nordland Empire inherited that bloodline.

### First Antrim War

In the Antrim War twelve years ago, it was also called by other names such as the Appendix War. The border patrols of Mauricia Kingdom and Haurelia Kingdom accidentally clashed at the boundary line and the incident caused a chain reaction that brought clashes in every quarter.

At that time, it hadn’t even been six months since Harold became the prime minister. He failed both in admonishing Welkin who was too eager for his first battle against another country and also in winning over the conservative nobles.

As a result, the peace negotiation didn’t go well, he couldn’t stop the military from running wild, and the kingdom was only barely saved due to Ignis’s victory that was practically a miracle.

At that time a knight order was reorganised at the royal capital to be sent as reinforcements, but even after they scraped up everything available, the troops gathered didn’t even reach 70% of Haurelia’s invading army. If they headed to the decisive battle in such a state, Mauricia might really have fallen to their destruction there.

### Second Antrim War

#### **Antrim’s Tragedy**

Baldr Cornelius led the Antrim army that consist of a small army of a thousand and several hundred troops against Haurelia Kingdom's twenty thousand. The ghastly battle would be called as "Antrim’s Tragedy" by future generation.

### Trystovy's Civil War

Mauricia Kingdom is halfheartedly giving their support to Baldr. Mauricia Kingdom’s contribution in Trystovy’s civil war this time, it was giving the tacit consent for the departure of Randolph House’s army. And then there was the permission for Nordland Empire and Gartlake Kingdom’s army to pass through the country and some aid with supply, that’s it. The anti-Baldr faction led by duke Richmond intentionally delayed the Nordland's volunteer army. Therefore Mauricia Kingdom’s contribution could only be barely counted as a plus.

### Crusade

Europa Church proclaimed the crusade publicly and the whole continent was greatly shaken. But in the middle of that, an even greater shock assaulted Mauricia Kingdom. The abdication of the current king Welkin and the ascension of the crown prince Richard to the throne were announced.

## Population

Although not as bad as in Answerer Kingdom, Mauricia Kingdom was also deeply prejudiced toward beastman race.

## Foreign Policy

Answerer Kingdom
Mauricia is unaware of Answerer's involvement in pushing Haurelia and Mauricia for war.
Haurelia Kingdom
Hostile nation.
They effectively became a vassal nation after the Second Antrim War.
Nordland Empire
Allied Country. They have an amiable relations, since Beatrice is married to the crown prince.
Sanjuan Kingdom
Allied Country. They have an amiable relations, since Teresa is married to the crown prince.
Trystovy Dukedom
Hostile nation. The archduke usurped and murdered the former royal family.
Trystovy Kingdom
They had an amiable relations, since Catalina was married to the Trystovy royal family. However the kingdom had fallen due to the archduke's coup d'état, and Mauricia was in no condition to support because of the First Antrim War.
They are using Silk Randolph as the figure head to restore the kingdom.
After the announcement of Baldr being the royal successor, Mauricia was publicly halfheartedly supporting Baldr to revive the kingdom.
## Government

Mauricia is currently led by the king supported by the various department heads. The kingdoms political power is held by the Ten Great Houses, which are noble houses supporting the kingdom from the time of its foundation.

The kingdom has a centralisation of power, thus the bureaucratic nobles holds the most authority. There is tension between the bureaucrat nobles and the feudal lord nobles.

Mauricia Kingdom was a country that respected the rights of the commoners, but even so there was still an inviolable wall existing between nobles and commoners.

### Anti-king faction

The anti-king faction was led by Duke Beaufort.

### Bureaucrat Nobles

Hadrien and Richmond were standing at the top of bureaucrat nobles.

They are also the anti-Baldr faction.

They wanted to take away the authority of the feudal lords little by little until one day, the authorities of the feudal nobles would be reduced to the level of county office at the rural area.

The royal authority was strengthened and before anyone knew it, the royal family’s military strength and economic strength had far surpassed the regional feudal lords. However during the process of that, because the power was concentrated into the kingdom’s government, a new faction that was called the bureaucrat nobles gained prominence and they had grown to a level that could shake the royal authority.

Occasionally a bureaucratic organisation would have the tendency to see their own organisation as more important than even the country they belonged to.

As the result of the power being concentrated into the government, the bureaucrat nobles with authority started to influence the government policy to fit their own convenience.

Their final objective was to accomplish concentrating all the authorities within the country into their bureaucratic organisation and took control of the government structure that even the king himself wouldn’t be able to remove them.

Duke Richmond's ideal country for the Mauricia Kingdom would be a place where capable bureaucrats displayed their ability and the king existed only as a decoration to take responsibility when anything happened.

### Ten Great Nobles

Since Mauricia Kingdom was founded, the ten great nobles had continued being the centre of the country in order to prevent the king from running wild and in order to protect the kingdom from external enemy as its bulwark.
