History
Declaration of Evereux
The Kingdom of Courland was dissolved on the 14th of the Grand Harvest, 1615, by King Joseph I of Courland.
Culture and society
Majority of Evreux's ruling caste, including its royal house, derives its line from Heartlander roots- and indeed, a good majority of its society embodies the typical troupes of such a culture. However, with their past rulership of northern territory, a noticeable Highlander minority can be seen serving in the kingdom itself, as well as its linguistic and societal aspects of the kingdom.
Being in close contact to the Sultanate of Haria upon Asul also provides Courland a small but sturdy Farfolk minority.
Religion
The state religion was the reformed-Creatorist Lotharic Communion, or called the True Faith within its borders. While no longer central to its original home of Lorraine, the faith itself was heavily entrenched within the hierarchy of the kingdom and its people.
Nobility
Majority of the kingdom's nobility come from Heartlander stock, including its own ruling family the House of Staunton. Notable families include House de Savin, House Baden, House Halcourt, House Staunton-Hearth and House Ivanovich.
Politics
The Principality is current led by the Prince Regent, as the monarch is yet to come of age.
Privy Council
The Privy Council of Courland include leading members of the realm, often vassals who own great fiefs. The council acts as advisors to the King, who offer their experience and wisdom, to ensure that the governence of the nation remains as efficient as possible. The King wields the power to veto any decisions made by his council.
Military
The official military of the Kingdom of Courland was the Eagle's Vigil, introduced under the reign of Duke Richard. The Vigil was split into two branches, the King's Guard and the City Watch.
