Kingdom of Friedonia

The "United Kingdom of Elfrieden & Amidonia", popularly known as the "Kingdom of Freidonia", is a new kingdom which got established after the "Principality of Amidonia" got annexed by the "Elfrieden Kingdom", following the events of the "One Week War". The Main Capital of the Kingdom is "Parnam" (the former capital of "Elfrieden Kingdom").

The "Kingdom of Freidonia" mainly consists of two regions, "Elfrieden Region" (formerly "Elfrieden Kingdom") and the "Amidonia Region" (formerly "Principality of Amidonia").

History
The formation of "Freidonia" was an totally unexpected situation for both Kazuya Souma and Hakuya Kwonmin, who were the conspirator and orchestrator behind the occupation of "Van", the capital of the "Principality of Amidonia".

Since the start of the "The One Week War", the main goal for both Kazuya and Hakuya was to lure the main forces of the "Principality" away from their capital city "Van", and make them attack "Elfrieden". The main reason behind this planning was to capture "Van" and its surrounding area, as well as destroy the army of the "Principality", and make them go in a state were they won't be any threat to "Elfrieden" for a long time.

At the end of the "One Week War", with the death of the ruler of the "Principality", Gaius Amidonia, and occupation of the capital city "Van", Kazuya had achieved the first goal he was aiming for. Even with the expected interference from the "Gran Chaos Empire" because of the "Mankind Declaration" agreement, which leads to the withdrawal of the Elfrieden Army from "Van" and its surrounding area and returning it to the next ruler Julius Amidonia, Kazuya had already planted the seeds for uprising and the eventual fall of Julius's rule around "Van" and recapture it, by giving a taste of freedom to the citizen of "Van", which they never had under the rule of the "Principality", and also working behind the shadows with his special unit "Black Cats". Since the citizen of "Van" themselves asked for annexation of the city to "Elfrieden", and the "Empire" couldn't interfere with it because of the rules in the agreement. Thus Kazuya achieved his second and final goal.

But while the uprising of "Van" was going on, and Julius was away busy dealing with another uprising at the north-west of the "Principality" before that. More simultaneous uprising also started around the "Principality", with varying reasoning but all in the end demanding that "Elfrieden" annex the "Principality" and take it under its own rule.

All these uprising (except the one in the north-west, which resulted in a riot and death of a lot of citizens), were planned out by the princess of "Principality", Roroa Amidonia, who wasn't happy with the militaristic rule that her father and brother followed, and the suffering and losses the citizen and the state had to go through because of it.

Kazuya having no other choice because of various reasons, had to accept the appeals of the citizens of the "Principality", thus annexing and integrating the whole of "Principality" with "Elfrieden". And finally in order to solidify his rule over "Amidonia", he accepted Roroa's proposal of a political marriage with her, thus creating the "United Kingdom of Elfrieden & Amidonia", a.k.a., "Kingdom of Freidonia". As a result, Freidonia is now the second-largest nation of Landia, next to the Gran Chaos Empire.

Currently, the new nation has to deal with additional food shortages due to the increase in population, despite Elfrieden having solved its own food issues a short time ago. Other problems include reconstruction of the Amidonian economy, infrastructure and industry. For these reasons, Kazuya has appointed Amidonia's Minister of Finance Gatsby Colbert and taken Roroa Amidonia as his third Queen Consort. This not only legitimized his claim to Amidonia but also made use of Roroa's business sense.

Government
As before, when it was just the Elfrieden Kingdom, Freidonia is ruled by a monarchy, but with several reforms and processes that reflect its realist ruler, Kazuya Souma. It is still not a signatory nation of the Mankind Declaration Treaty, but does share a bipartite alliance with the Gran Chaos Empire and a tripartite alliance with the Empire and the Republic of Turgis in terms of medical equipment and research.

Military
Freidonia inherited the militaries of Elfireden and Amidonia which were re-organized into the National Defence Force after abolishing the independent Army ,Navy and Air Force of the Elfriden Kingdom. This allowed the land, air and naval forces to act with greater coordination to the unified command structure. The National Defence Force was equipped with new technologies and weapons such as the Little Susumu Mk.V which allowed large ships to be propelled without sea dragons while miniaturized variants used by wyverns allowed them to achieve speeds higher than griffons. Due to the wyvern carrier Hiryuu the kingdom is also able to project its aerial power over the oceans.

The "Black Cats" are an secret unit responsible for covert operations ,intelligence gathering and counter-intelligence. The Kingdom also began training paratroopers called "Dratroopers" who are dropped using parachutes from flying creatures like wyverns.

Due to Ruby and Naden, Freidonia is also the only nation outside of Nothung Dragon Knight Kingdom to have dragon knights.

Economy
With the agriculture of Elfrieden and mineral resources of Amidonia as well as many reforms and innovations brought about by Kazuya, the nation is beginning to thrive with new trade routes and products with the neighboring countries. Advancements in technology, media and education bring about new opportunities in business and alliances.

Evaluation of nobles based on their management of lands caused an increased demand for educated people causing even slaves and prostitutes who were literate and knew arithmetic to be taken into nobility to act as magistrates. Thus Kazuya with the goal of eventual establishment of slavery, nationalized the slave industry with standardized exams for slave traders while slaves were to be trained for jobs. Further Ginger's Vocational School was established to improve education standards in the nation.
