Principality of Amidonia

The Principality of Amidonia was a  nation situated in eastern Landia before being annexed by the Elfrieden Kingdom  to form the United Kingdom of Elfrieden & Amidonia more commonly known as the Kingdom of Freidonia. Before its annexation the principality was s militarist dictatorship under the Amidonian royal family who extensively used anti-Elfrieden propaganda to build support for excessive military spending. Its capital city is Van. Its previous ruler was Gaius Amidonia, and for a brief period later, his son Julius Amidonia.

Geography and History
Amidonia was described as a small, mountainous country with its main source of income from its mining industry. Due to a war with Elfrieden Kingdom 50 years prior to signing the Mankind Declaration Treaty, Amidonia lost half of its original territory, including its valuable farming lands. As a result, the country was in a constant state of food shortages. This problem was compounded by the fact that the ruler followed a 'military first' policy and spent all available funds on strengthening the army, rather than on food, the economy, and infrastructure. Its only protection was the Mankind Declaration Treaty, which prevented the other countries from invading it.

With the rebellion of Georg Carmine and Castor Vargas, Gaius thought it was an excellent opportunity to invade Elfrieden and take back the lands that formerly belonged to Amidonia. This proved to be a grave error in judgement, as the Elfrieden forces not only repelled the Amidonian Army, but also took the capital city of Van. With Gaius killed during the war and his son unable to govern the country effectively, the entire principality became wracked with numerous riots and rebellions. With the revolt of the people of Van and the re-occupation of the city by Elfrieden, Julius was forced into exile.

With the Grand Chaos Empire and King Souma Kazuya's consent, the Principality of Amidonia was annexed and merged with the Elfrieden Kingdom, becoming the Kingdom of Friedonia.

Politics and Economy
Prior to its annexation, the government was seen as a dictatorship with a 'military-first' attitude. After losing almost half of its lands to Elfrieden in the prior war, Amidonia is too small to be seen as a kingdom and is ruled by a prince, rather than a king. All forms of entertainment, fashion or even basic freedoms are highly restricted or nonexistent. All funds are either used to strengthen the military or for propaganda against Elfrieden.

After losing its farm-able lands to Elfrieden, the main source of income came from its mineral deposits and mining industry. Food must be imported and is deemed as expensive. As a result, the country is in constant food shortage. Other industries such as textiles and manufactured goods have little to no chance of thriving. It is only due to the efforts of Princess Roroa Amidonia, that the overall economy had not collapsed prior to the One Week War.

Military
As a militaristic nation Amidonia gave priority to the military. However due to being a smaller nation the total military strength of Amidonia was only around 50,000 and only had 500 wyvern riders. After the One Week War, the remnants of the Amidonia military was absorbed into Freidonia's National Defense Force.
