The [i]Dietas Boiohaemi[/i] contains three ‘leagues’, the noble equivalent of the political parties present in many of the democracies and republics of the world. [list][*][b]The Bohemian Catholic League[/b] ([i]České Katolická Liga[/i]) defends the interests of the Roman Catholic Church, which still holds significant power in Bohemia, though it is dwarfed by both the German Lutheran congregations, the Bohemian Brethren, and the Church of Friedland. The Catholic nobility of Bohemia are typically heavily royalist but opposed to royal power over ecclesiastical offices, supportive of agrarian economy, and support heavy taxation. [*] [b]The Czech National League[/b] ([i]České Národní Obrození[/i]) represents the interests of the National Movement, a group of Bohemian nobles in favour of incorporating their fellow Czechs in Moravia into the Kingdom of Friedland and legal devolution to the Czech nobility. There are strong republican tendencies in the ČNO, and they are presently the leading advocates of emancipation of the serfs of Friedland and liberal economic policies. [*][b]Royalist Brethren League[/b] ([i]Monarchistická Jednota bratrská[/i]) are the staunch supporters of the Waldstein dynasty in the Czech Diet. They endorse a heavily agrarian economic policy and the increased cooperation between the Monarch and the nobility of Friedland, as well as the cooperation of the Czech nobility with rival German nobles for unity. The organisation is tied to the Hussite Unity of Brethren and is the largest League in the Diet. They often find themselves in strong opposition with the Catholic League, but also in cooperation with their rivals against the liberalism of the CNO.[/list] [/indent] [u]German National Diet of Nobles[/u] ([i]Deutsches Landtag[/i], [i]Dietas Teutonicorum[/i]) [indent]Legislature called to represent the interests of the Nobility of Mecklenburg, Pomerania, and Silesia. The [i]Dietas Teutonicorum[/i] is much more splintered than the three-league [i]Dietas Boiohaemi[/i], with parties being formed and dismantled by disgruntled nobles on a regular basis. There are only two consistent German parties, usually challenged from within by splinter groups that themselves change frequently. [list][*][b]The German Imperial Party[/b] ([i]Deutsche Reichspartei[/i]) is the one consistent opposition party in the German Diet. It is a heavily liberal, Republican movement dedicated to unification of all German nobility under a single banner and replacement of the Kingdom of Friedland, Gothic Reich, and present German government with an Constitutional Monarchy incorporating all German-speakers. It also lobbies heavily for the emancipation of the serfs, but enjoys only a minority of support from Pomeranian nobles, whom the King always keeps a close eye on. [*][b]The Farmer-Industry-State Alliance[/b] ([i]Bauer-Industrie-Staat Allianz[/i]) has a name that belies its platform. The BISA is heavily Royalist and supportive of Friedlandic Unity. It draws strong support from the Lutheran Nobility and therefore works closely with the [i]MJb[/i] of the Czech Diet and against Catholic interests in the German-speaking parts of Friedland. It is the largest party in the German Diet, comprising 2/3 of the Diet and therefore remaining consistently in control of all local legislation. [*]At various times there can be a Catholic Centre Party, Strict Royalist Party, Agrarian Party, and a number of other opposition parties that keep the remaining 1/3 of the German diet heavily splintered[/list] [/indent] [u]States General of the Kingdom of Friedland[/u] ([i]Concilium Praediatorum Regni Terrapacis[/i]) [indent]Gathering of the Nobility, Clergy, and Representatives of Landed Gentry for the entire Kingdom of Friedland, called by the King every ten years and intermittently when the occasion demands. The [i]Concilium Praediatorum[/i] is divided into leagues, much like the [i]Dietas Boiohaemi[/i], and represent the interests of the entirety of Friedland. [list][*][b]The National Catholic League[/b] ([i]Societas Ecclesiae Apostolici et Catholici[/i]) is an affiliate of the [i] České Katolická Liga[/i] and is represented by the small group of Catholic Nobility and remaining Catholic Bishops still in Friedland. Its sole real purpose is to act as opposition to taxes levied on citizens of Friedland who are not members of the Church of Friedland. [*][b]Royal League[/b] ([i]Amicitia pro Regno[/i]) is the primary Royalist movement in Friedland, and is composed of the nobility primarily responsible for putting Sigismund I von Waldstein on the throne of Friedland and constituting the Kingdom. They are staunchly conservative in their approach to the rising emancipation movement, supportive of both serfdom and noble privilege, defending the right of nobles to keep personal armies and also supportive of the King’s efforts to promote the growth of noble-governed cities inhabited by freedmen and knights. It is affiliated with both the BISA and the MJb. [*][b]Greater Friedland League[/b] ([i]Societas pro Ultra Terrapacem[/i]), often referred to as the [i]Plus Ultra[/i] League, after the motto of the Habsburg Charles V, is an expansionist party in the States General representing the nobility and clergy of Friedland who wish to incorporate more land and more nobles into the States General to propagate both the Church of Friedland and the Kingdom itself. It is led by a Czech Bishop, Václav Vlcek who also leads the ČNO and supports several small opposition parties in the German Diet. [*][b]Ecclesiastic League[/b] ([i]Societas Ecclesiae Boiohaemi et Terrapacis[/i]) is the second-largest league of the States General, second only to the Royal League. It represents the interests of the Church of Friedland and propagation of the faith. Many of its members support [i]Plus Ultra[/i] in its efforts to expand the Church of Friedland, but while it endorses the expansion of the Kingdom of God it is not so eager to see the borders of Friedland expand into Saxony, Moravia, and Slovakia the way [i]Plus Ultra[/i] desires. Economically, it identifies with the peasants, who make up the majority of contributing membership of the Church. It sometimes supports emancipation of the serfs but at the same time endorses the tithing policy and heavy tariffs laid by the Royal League.[/list][/indent] [b]Ecclesiastical[/b] The Church of Friedland ([i]Frýdlantské Církev [/i], [i]Nationalkirche von Friedland[/i], [i]Ecclesia Terrapacis[/i]) [indent]The ecclesial structure recognizing the King of Friedland as the head of the Church and theologically informed by the teachings of Jan Hus and Martin Luther; it is governed by bishops appointed as nobility by the King[/indent] The National Council of Bishops ([i]Concilium Episcoporum Terrapacis[/i]) [indent]The National Council of Bishops is the governing body for doctrine in the National Church of Friedland as well as the appointment of Inquisitions into wrongful interpretations and faulty teachings and the correction of the responsible clerics.[/indent] [b]Executive Governance[/b] His Royal Majesty the King [indent]His Royal Majesty is the chief executive of the Kingdom, both Head of State and Head of Government. The state itself is considered embodied in His Majesty, who has ultimate control over the legislature and rules largely by royal decree. He hold control over the appointment of Ministers as Head of Government, of Governors as Head of State, and of Bishops as Head of the Church. [/indent] The Royal Ministers [indent]There is a Royal Ministry for each industry deemed most important by His Majesty the King. Most are members of the Nobility favoured by His Majesty or Knights who have shown especial ability in the eyes of His Majesty. The Nobility is derived almost exclusively from Bohemia and therefore Czech. The Ministers are [list][*]Prime Minister and Chief Adviser to His Majesty: His Royal Highness Prince Wencenslas von Waldstein [*]Royal Minister of Foreign Affairs: His Highness Karel Gustav Czernin von Chudenitz, Duke of Pilsen [*]Royal Minister of Trade and Finance: His Grace Hynek Berka z Dubé, Burgrave of Kokorschin [*]Royal Minister of Railroads and Commerce: His Grace Karel Jan Harrachové, Count of Jilemnice [*]Royal Minister of War: His Lordship Otto Martin Freiherr von Hessel [*]Royal Minister of Armaments: His Highness Jan Thomás Vršovci, Duke of Pardubice [*]Royal Minister of Justice: His Lordship Josef Paul Alois Freiherr von Reichenberg [*]Royal Minister of Intelligence: His Grace Arnost Jiří z Vlašimi, Margrave of Zhořelec [*]Royal Minister of Culture and Education: His Grace Ferdinand Ernst von Stolberg, Margrave of Demmin [*]Royal Minister of Public Health and Security: His Lordship Karl Anton Fürst von Hessenstein[/indent][/list] The Friedland High Command [indent]Responsible for the governance of all military matters; all trials of military personnel le, active or off-duty at the time of the alleged crime and arrest, are handled directly by the military, and law stipulates that no soldier above the rank of Lieutenant can be tried in civil court at all. The High Command itself answers to the Minister of War, as well as directly to His Majesty the King, but otherwise operates completely independent of all other branches of government. The High Command of the [i]Armata[/i] is composed of four branches: the Central Planning Command, Intelligence Command, Quartermaster Command, and General Command, each headed by a Grand Marshall of His Majesty’s Court.[/indent] [size="5"][u]Geography and Polities[/u][/size] [img]http://i941.photobucket.com/albums/ad256/Odinnson_NoR/FriedlandMap.png[/img] To list all duchies, counties, marks, burgs, baronies, free cities, and other noble subdivisions would be superfluous. However, for recruitment purposes in the military and for census purposes the Kingdom has been divided into a system of [i]Gaus[/i], administered by Royal Censors whose purpose is to administer census tabulating for tax purpose, but also serve the wider purpose of acting as informants to the Royal Court of the treatment of the peasants by noblemen. Reports of abuse can result in severe penalties from the Royal Court, as they often harm productivity and stunt economic growth, as well as offending His Majesty King Sigismund, who has a deep concern for the peasants. [size="5"][u]Military[/u][/size] The Friedland [i]Armata[/i] is divided into three principle branches; the [i]Exercitus[/i], all the ground forces of the [i]Armata[/i], including amphibious troops; the [i]Classis Navium[/i] (or simply [i]Navium[/i]), the sea forces of the Kingdom, including the Merchant Marine; and the [i]Visvolucer[/i], all forces capable of flight, including the missile forces of the Kingdom. [b]The [i]Exercitus[/i][/b] is comprised of 338,008 soldiers with 27,040 Panzers of various types. It is presently under the command of [i]Feldmarschallgeneral[/i] Heinrich Martin Ritter von Wehrheld. He has divided it thus: 1 Army (338,008) 10 Korps (33,800) per Army [3 Panzerkorps (108,160)] 3 Divisionen (11,266) per Korps 3 Brigaden (3,755) per Division 10 Batallionen (375) per Brigade 5 Kompanie (75) per Batallion 5 Staffeln (25) per Kompanie 2 Gruppen (12/13) per Staffel 3 Truppen (3) per Gruppe Because the bulk of the [i]Armata[/i] is administered and led by ethnic Germans, the use of German rather than the official Latin is very wide-spread. This is true of most every branch of the [i]Armata[/i], with the exception of the [i]Visvolucer[/i], which is dominated by Czech officers. The Army is equipped with the following technology, but regularly upgrades: Panzer: [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leopard_I]Leopard I.

It is presently under the command His Grace Burgrave Albrecht von Mecklenburg-Strelitz, [i]Großadmiral[/i] of the Friedlandic [i]Classis Navium[/i]. He opened with a small force of heavily out-dated battleships from the 19th century, including SS (Steamship) Anna Marie; converted mine-layer SS Sophie; converted mine-layer SS Wilhelmina; converted mine-layer SS Friedrich; iron-clad SS Heinrich; iron-clad SS Siegfried; iron-clad SS Jürgen; iron-clad In addition, several modern ships have also been recruited by His Grace, including the SMS (“[i]Seiner Majestät Schiff[/i]”) [i]Albrecht Wallenstein[/i] – Battleship: [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/H_class_battleship_proposals]H-44 [i]Albrecht[/i] Class[/url] SMS [i]Jan Hus[/i] – Battleship: [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/H_class_battleship_proposals]H-44 [i]Albrecht[/i] Class[/url] SMS [i]Stralsund[/i]— Cruiser: [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ticonderoga_class_cruiser]CG-83 [i]Stralsund[/i] Class[/url] SMS [i]Rostock[/i]— Cruiser: [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ticonderoga_class_cruiser]CG-86 [i]Stralsund[/i] Class[/url] SMS [i]Vorpommern[/i]— Frigate: [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Type_23_frigate]F-82 [i]Vorpommern[/i] Class[/url] SMS [i]Silisien[/i]— Frigate: [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Type_23_frigate]F-82 [i]Vorpommern[/i] Class[/url] SMS [i]Odal[/i]— Corvette: [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Braunschweig_class_corvette]CV-80 [i]Jomsviking[/i] Class[/url] SMS [i]Kreuzritter [/i]— Corvette: [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Braunschweig_class_corvette]CV-80 [i]Jomsviking[/i] Class[/url] SMS [i]Husar[/i] — Corvette: [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Braunschweig_class_corvette]CV-80 [i]Jomsviking[/i] Class[/url] These seven ships form the Baltic Fleet, and the core of the entirety of the [i]Navium[/i], are the largest ships of the fleet, but are supported by a large fleet of patrol boats and speed boats that patrol the coasts of the two islands in Friedland’s control. They also patrol the River Oder, southward to Lausitzer Neiße and the Isabella-Katharina-Kanal, which joins the Moldau to the Lausitzer Neiße by way of the Elbe and to the Spree by way of the Lausitzer Neiße, making it possible to transport goods from the southern-most point of Friedland to the northern-most point. The river boats guard a merchant barge fleet also administered by the [I]Navium[/i] steered northwards to the Baltic and the Duchies of Meckenburg and Inner Pomerania. [b]The [i]Visvolucer[/i][/b], the Air Forces of Friedland, are fully equipped with the most modern equipment. Under the command of Maršál Artuš Frédéric Svoboda, the [i]Visvolucer[/i], or [i]Letectvo[/i] in native Czech. The force is divided into three Air Divisions and one Support Division, the support division divided between the three Air bases. The First Air Division, based at Olomouc, is commanded by Maršál Svoboda personally; his fellow [i]Maršálové[/i] Pavel Vojtěch Horáček, Jaroslav Navrátil, Jan Petr Kramář, and Jiří Udržal command the other divisions.
