Disposition
Panovach is a very straighforward and military nation. Being the center of the continent, it is one of the last forming nations, due to other nations marching through it and razing it too the ground many times. 180 years prior Panovach made an Alliance with the peaceful Kaed, who still help defend the borders from the southern and western states. While the continent is peaceful these days, there is always animosity towards the south and west. While tourists are welcome and treated with respect, the governments of the countries are distrustful.

Becoming a Military nation is what has kept Panovach safe. Everyone is given an education and taught to fight between the ages 6-11. They are then tested and the top 30% will be admitted as soldiers and paid a wage which they send most of to their family. At 16 they are tested to see what division they will be placed in. 1 in 500 will be admitted as Kings Guard, where they receive the Kings blessing, and they families are permitted to live on the land without paying tax. Being a Kings Guard is an honour, families that raise a child to be in the Kings Guard are treated with the utmost respect. There are only around 400 Kings Guard in Panovach. They are the personal army of the King, and are commanded by him themselves.
