County of Keplr

"Without structure, science, and freedom we are nothing more than an animal"- Count Alexander Cousur(?)

Plan:

My county will focus on the sciences; medicine, alchemy and technological advancements, however we have a strong emphasis on nature related professions(Agriculture, and Animal Husbandry) as well! We shall aim to help get our kingdom to the top in the world of science, research, medicine and alchemy. I try to be a neutral party, one similar to Switzerland, I shall however not be under prepared and will make sure my county is properly protected.

About Keplr

The County of Keplr is a science bound county. The name “Keplr” is loosely related to the German astronomer and mathematician Johannes Kepler. We focus on sciences, arts, medicine, education, and military power. We are a county of firm believers that the world is a balance; Ying and Yang if you will. We want the entire kingdom to be prosperous and for all the people to have a choice in the say of the way of life. Blood is not what bounds Keplr, it is faith in one another. We will try to do everything in our power to ensure Free Kingdom is a kingdom of peace and prosperity. We as a County only want the whole kingdom to succeed.

In the fall of 696, when the Deranged King had finally lost his power, and his reign came to an end. After years of chaos and what was deemed a dark age to all. [Free Kingdom] rose up. [Free Kingdom] was formed in chaos; in the wake of the former Empire of Xeilias. We did not wither, we stood our ground, we rose up out of the ashes to form a brand new government. We are bent on never letting a tyrant rise to power again. Our entire kingdom was formed on the belief of being free, and having our own decisions make an impact on our life, we are the makers of our own fate.

It was at the time that [Monarch] rose to power. It was he/she who had garnered the support of the people, a natural born leader and firm believer in the rights of all people. The monarch had to appoint some people to watch of the duchies and counties. Have it so that my ancestor Count Alexander Cousur(?) was appointed a position, he was a firm believer in being fair to his citizens and I tend to uphold his legacy.

Government

Keplr will be a law abiding county, we follow the laws and make sure that everyone within its borders are safe and not have to worry about their freedoms being taken away, something we learned in the time before our formation as a new Kingdom.

I am one that is always open to argumentation and debate, with that in mind, I will be willing to hear out my Mayors/Barons, and set up a counsel where if need be we could put county wide decisions to a vote so that every part of the county is properly represented.

I will be one who is fair and will let most matters be handed at a Mayoral state first then if such problem progresses to my attention I will help to solve such issues to the best of my ability.

Taxes As taxes are a necessary evil, I will try to keep them close to the minimum needed as I do not want people to have to waste all their money at the beginning at least. However as a county that is science focused, we will focus on research and such so the taxes may rise if we need more fund for schools and other such organizations.

Laws I am pretty fair, so my basic tenants of laws and life are, treat others how you want to be treated, I will not have any specific laws as I will just follow what my Duchy has put in forth and my Monarch. Basically try not to be rude and ruin others peoples enjoyment of the game, if so then I will step in to help, other than that I understand some will follow the deviant side of things and I find lore wise that can be a fun and good thing for Role-play as well, so just make sure its not too much of a bad thing where it ruins others fun.

Military County of Keplr will make sure that it is properly protected. We will follow and help our duchy as much as we can and will help provide men for battle if such times arise. However as we are more science based we will not focus on military too much unless its in terms of militaristic advancements. We will not be caught with our pants down however.

Miscellaneous stuff

Relations I have been apart of this community since the Kickstarter. I have had much time to get to know people of this community and make friends and allicances. With that in mind I was never a count until now so if you are(Yes you!) who are a Mayor/Baron and my county interests you in the Free Kingdom then feel free to message me on here or on discord(Username below).

Location As we have yet to go into the Dance of Dynasties, where our kingdom and thus our county will go is still up in the air. I however hope that we will not get a terrible spot but we will make do with what ever we have. I hope to acquire such biome as a plains(Neran) or something in the forests(Kypiq). However it will depend on a lot of different factors.

About me

I have been following this game since the Kickstarter, at the time I was known by a different name, some know me as WelshLP. I was known as the "love" guy. I used to always say I love you and glomp people in the IRC chat. I want everyone to see my kingdom as something they can come to, I am friendly and fair, but firm for what is right.
