About
[Kingdom of Gladis] One of the world's preeminent superpowers. The nation is ruled by an absolute monarch, and despite its unreasonable class system, the commoners find it nearly impossible to revolt. A handful of great noble houses hold a complete stranglehold on vital resources (mines, specific crops, etc.) and distribution networks. Furthermore, the royal family maintains total control over the military and economy. The Kingdom of Gladis also practices slavery, with human beings traded openly in black markets as a matter of course. It is precisely because of this absolute monarchy that Gladis has earned its reputation as a global powerhouse. You are a member of the royal family of this very kingdom.
