Talys

Military-
Talys' military focus is its naval supremacy. The vast fleet of warships is second to none,and its sailors are some of the toughest fighters in Archanea. The iron knights mastery of long range magic enables a fleet to attack from a distance, without ever truly engaging an enemy fleet. The ability to mobilize, and conduct operations is unparalleled for its size, making it a true adversary against any enemy.

Air Force
The crown jewel of the Talys military is its fliers. Second in size, but as matched in skill to its Macedonian brethren, the pegasus riders of Talys employ the use of magic into its assault from above. Able to provide aerial support for its naval counter part, gives its military a tremendous ability to defend from any incoming attacks, and conduct fairly rapid assaults when deemed necessary. Pegasus riders excel at reconnaissance missions due to their abilities to move swiftly, and the vast area they can look over.

Intelligence
The small, but elite spy network of Talys is led by its famous Infiltrators. The uncanny ability of stealth, and lethality makes them a perfect asset when information needs to be gathered, or the need to eliminate a target arises. How information returns to the small island is not yet known, but like most other countries, Talys has spies in every other country.

Army
The army of Talys consists mostly of knights, mages, archers, pegasus knights, and soldiers. Small units of lancers, mercenaries, cavaliers, and hunters make up the elite of the army. They are all trained for siege conditions, and to them defense is the most important aspect of war to them. They usually stay in the main land as a final defense.

Navy
Talys' navy can become an active invasion party within a matter of hours. When this occurs, parts of the army are assigned to different warships, and Infiltrators become battalion commanders. Its sailors become infantry due to their ability to fight on land effectively. The pegasus riders are assigned separate ships, according to class, becoming active scouts, and the first assault group.

Organization
The three Commanders of each sect in he military conduct operations in their separate fields, but usually will cooperate with each other, and assist whenever needed. To conduct a military operations it must be approved by the queen. During a time of war, when immediate action is necessary, is the only time commanders can act without orders, afterwards they must submit a report, and are ordered to be reviewed by the queen and her council. To conduct military actions without direct orders, or due cause is considered treasonous, and can be punished by imprisonment, or death.

Tactics
During a time of war, Talys will null all shipping agreements with other countries, and begin mobilizing its military to support itself, or its allies. Mobilization begins with the naval armada, quickly followed by its pegasus riders deployment to the outer islands, and lastly, the army is stationed on the main land.

Government-
The Talysian government is a monarchy with a council of 5 people based on the philosophy of meritocracy. Lead by their Queen Sonia Gudyere, the council functions as a means to make important decisions, such as; conduct foreign affairs, approve funding, and declare war.

The government runs a bit shakily due to their inexperienced queen, who has only been ruling the past two years. Although an inexperienced queen rules, a wise, and knowledgeable council advises her. Amazingly little argument occurs, and the council reaches a quick decision with the peoples interest at heart.

Although a council meeting occurs to make decisions, the true decision comes from the queen, the council merely advises her. How the queen uses that advice is completely up to her. The queen has the power to remove council members as she sees fit.

Economy-
Talys' economy is largely dependent on foreign affairs, as they export many rare metals, and jewels to other countries. Another reliant is the shipping industry that it provides for other countries, as a large tariff is taxed, bringing in profit.

Agriculture
Agriculture is the second largest part of the economy, due to Talys tropical climate. Mass storage's are kept for food, so their is never a shortage. Livestock is always bred, and remains plentiful. These factors help boost economy through self reliance, and the selling of crops and livestock.

Industry
Industries remain a constant spender in the Talysian economy. Research is conducted to better its navy, and remains at the top of the list for funding. Production of weapons and armor stays only high enough to arm active military personnel. Industries stay relatively small, until an outbreak of war involves the country.

Public Funding
Public funding is a extremely close second, but still the most important matter of funding. Out of this funding comes schools, the construction of roads and houses, and the means to repair them. Although second in funding, unlike research, there is no set limit on how much funding will be provided for improvements in this area.
