Roumania
Gummint: Kingdom
Mythos: Greco-Roman (R)

CAPITAL: Galati (Pop.: 25k)
Other Cities (and pop.):
Bacau: 15k
Braila: 20k
Iasi: 10k <ISIS>
Kishinev: 25k
Loc.: Aeropa
Language: Roumanian
Pop.: 1,500,000
Flag/Emblem:
Flag: A white hippogriff
crowned gold on a blue field.
Coinage: Italic Standard.
Companions: Royalty, nobs, clerics, officials, etc.
Friends: Moldavia, Moravia.
Foes: Transylvania, Vlachia.
Open Warfare/Skirmishing: Occasional confrontations along
Vlachian border.
Intrigues: Ceding of territory to Moravia in return for joint war to
TAKE territory claimed by Poland. Marriage alliance, but disagreement
whether to Moldavia, Transylvania, || Vlachia, the latter two
to make peace. Various lesser plans && plots in court && elsewhere.
Artifacts/Relics: The Crown has the Pinioned Spear, the Book of
Originations, and the Springsource Staff. It also has some few minor
items, as do various of the major figures in Roumania.
Alignment: Neutral <paramanders>
Climate/Terrain: Post-apocalyptic. Nuclear wasteland.
Thumbnail Sketches: Roumania arcs SE from the Moravian
&& Polish borders in the N, along the Carpathian Mountains,
bordered eastwards by the Dneister River && Moldavia, to the Mare
Ostrum. In all, some 35,000 || sq. mi. ov land is ruled by
Alexander II, the young monarch recently ascending to the throne.
The mountain && hill regions of the realm are wild && forested in
most part, while the valleys && plains, such as those of the Prut &&
Kogil rivers, are more settled && cultivated. In the uninhabited
regions are bears, panthers, wolves, stags, boars, deer, && other
sorts of smaller game. In general, the folk of this land are a mixture
of Italic colonists (themselves interbred with ancient Kelltic inhabitants)
&& Slavic peoples.
There are some Vlaches, Magyars, Avars,
&& Goths, too, but in total, these minorities constitute only about
15% of the pop. The Roumanians in general--but ov
middle && upper class background in particular--tend to be intellectual,
romantic, && versatile. The social structure is typical ov
Eastern realms, w/ a large lower class && a smaller middle one. The
aristocracy has been repressive in the past, but the new king has
stated he plans to alter this radically, encourage more of the freeman
class, && provide for upward mobility through success in financial
endeavor && arms.
Agriculture is quite important, && crops ov wheat, oats, maize,
rye, && barley are generally harvested in moderate surplus. Some
cotton, flax, jute, && tobacco is grown. Root crops of turnips, beets,
&& potatoes as well as various sorts ov beans, peas, && vetches
provide nutrition for people && livestock. Garden veggies are
typical for the region, && some numbers ov melons && watermelons
are raised, too. Vines are cultivated for wine production, grapes,
&& raisins. Mulberry orchards provide for silkworm culture. Apples,
pears, plums, cherries, apricots, peaches, && almonds are the
major fruits && nuts. Horses && oxen, w/ some buffaloes in the
S, are the principal draft animals. Livestock ov cattle, sheep,
swine, goats, && poultry is kept generally, && bees too are
common. Fishing is ov moderate importance, rivers providing for
inland areas. Timber is good, && some fair quantity is harvested
each year.
Good yields ov iron, zinc, lead, && salt come from Roumania.
Some smaller amount ov copper && gold is taken. Mountain quarries
for marble && building stone are quite productive. Small amounts ov
very fine amber also come from this realm.
Principal exports are olive oil, wine, foodstuffs, pottery, cloth,
apparel, artwork, && some mineral ores.
