Bean Kingdom

## Kingdom of Beans

The Bean Kingdom is a Constitutional Monarchy in eastern Europe. The Bean Kingdom is currently allied to the Novman Republic and Jaenda. Beans have a quite long lifetime, so the population grows immensely, as well as the army. The Beans are also one of the most technologically developed countries in Maternia, boasting high numbers of tanks, possesion of airships and many planes, as well as high-end naval technologies, and a navy massing of almost one thousand high-end ships. The Kingdom boasts an immensely high population of roughly 326 million, being the highest populous in the world, also boasting an immense industry, heavy economic strength as the strongest economy in maternia, and overall power in Maternia.

Some of it's current rivals are Siberia, after relations broke down due to bean support of the Novman Republic, and Elkaistadd (Formally the Empire of Elkaistadd). Tensions have been high with Elkaistadd for years, as hostility between the two refuse to cease.

The Bean Kingdom has a mostly straightfoward history. Before 550 BCC, there were hundreds, maybe even thousands of different bean nomad tribes across eastern europe. The beans gained a notorious reputation for raiding and looting many villages and settlements. After thousands of years of the bean tribal system, small factions begun to appear and eventually the tribals formed into the United Bean States, a collection of many small bean city-states and kingdoms in around 546 BCC. They were mostly disunited, and the main force of it was the Kingdom of Beanalia, with King Pinto I paving a future pathway for unification. In 456 BCC, the Kingdom of Beanalia unified the United Bean States, resulting in it's dissolution and formation of the First Bean Kingdom, with King Beaned I founding the kingdom. It was highly instable due to the nomadic nature of the bean species, and thet country faced many downsides and the economy struggled to grow and stability was non-existent. After about 6 years of instability, In 450 BCC, King Beaned I was overthrown in a coup, placing Emperor Bean I at the throne, with the creation of the Bean Empire, and they massed in land area, conquering the zelcs, fixing many economical problems, and resulting in a stabler version of the first kingdom. However, stability was short lived after the Novman Republic declared war, and after a few years of a stalemate, in 447 BCC the Emperor was overthrown and the original monarchy was reinstated, placing King Beaned I back at the helm, with the zelc territories liberated by the Novmen. The bean kingdom saw light growth in the following centuries, growing steadily and at a moderate pace, however in 121 ACC, the Bean Golden Age begins. The economy began to skyrocket, with a recorded 33% GDP rise from 123 ACC to 124. The population also rose trumendosly, as well as the military strength and power of the Bean Kingdom. Shortly after, in roughly 133 ACC the Trans-Bean Road was created, causing the GDP to skyrocket along with the economy. But things do not go as smoothly for the Kingdom as you would think. In 166 ACC, mass protests begun erupting due to the "lack of freedom" in the kingdom, which had been run under an autocracy and absolute monarchy for roughly 600 years. The king at the time (forgot), ended up abdicating and the new king instated a change to a Constitutional Monarchy with a newly formed senate, however the senate was dominated by the Monarchist's Party, giving the king the same amount of power as before. Since then, the beans have swayed from neutral to novman-supporting/allied, resulting in bean intervention in many wars involving the republic. Due

An early version of Collectivism was established here, called Freeism, before Collectivism as an ideology was created. It never gained any real traction in the Kingdom, however it is still around today, in very low numbers.

## Royal Bean Army

The Royal Bean army is the current main land forces of the Bean Kingdom. The other being the Royal Bean Navy (RBN). The land forces of the RBA are one of the best armies in Maternia. Boasting a relatively large active personnel of 3 million, and with plentiful reserves, manpower is not much of an issue for a demobilized army. The armed forces are one of the most advanced technologically in the world, boasting advanced tanks and accurate rifles. The Royal Bean Navy is practically the most powerful navy in Maternia, boasting one of the largest ship counts, with modern ships for the time. The flagship: "Kidnour" is the strongest ship in the bean fleet. Boasting heavy firepower, with sets of high-caliber batteries and lots of secondary batteries and the patented RBNAAS (Royal Bean Naval Anti-Aircraft System), allows it to have unrivaled force in the high seas. Another key feature is the heavy armor on it's sides, allowing it to take many blows and resist against the most powerful of batteries enemies can offer. Many ships in the RBN are similar, albeit not the same, with some having less powerful main batteries, and less powerful armor.

In all, the RBA is a force to be reckoned with, having one of the most powerful armies and navy, the RBA could easily be the strongest army in Maternia.

The only enemies the RBA has faced so far have been: Elkaistadd, Anakorii, Teutonnia, Sportannian Rebels and the UNAS/Coringlian forces. Although a small enemy count, the Bean armies have proved their dominance on the battlefield, with the support of the Novman Republic.
