Woodsman. Informal notes

Ok, if you have no interest i n the RPG I'm designing, you can safely ignore this, in the knowledge it has no interest to you whatsoever. If, however, you happen to like newly created fantasy worlds, this informal note may be of vague interest. it's just some thoughts i've thrown together on one of the settings.

martas
Martas is a relitively new country, having split off from the Rheinhold following the revolution. The revolution was led by a group following the book known as "die revolution!" Politics in martas consists, basically, of a five-man elected council. Every five years the council chooses the governor from within their ranks, and council members stay on the council for life (crosref: political assassinations.) Everyone else is a peasent, and lives in squallor, and hates their life, and has to pay huge taxes they can't afford, and is at risk from the "non-existant" secret police who obey the orders of the governor. Martas also has an impressively large army, albeit one which is entirely volountary. Conscription almost never occurs, and despite the high risk in being a soldier, the perks are considered worth the risk (particularly the immunity to the law and the getting paid enough to live on.) Incidently, the army also runs the police force. No, not the secret police, the state police. the ones who exist. Military law, then.

Martas is an enemy of all who oppose the revolution, in aprticular Iyar, and has no allies. No-one else supports the revolution.
