Forum Name: Legendium
Kingdom Name: Coinnigh
Ruler name: Feirmeoir
Specialty: Farms and Food
This is their main import. Be it grain, corn, potatoes or any other staple of living, Coinnigh can provide. Most of the basis of what people eat comes from Coinnigh. If you want exotic fruits and vegetables though, you'd either need to give them the magic or technology required to grow it. But most people make do with what there is. They also have a large supply of livestock, and one of the biggest fish lakes on the hill, which also allow them to export fresh water if necessary.
They're also great cooks, and many of their population have set up restaurants in the other kingdoms. Their specialty is spaghetti with cream sauce and bacon.
But while having control over the food trade gives them incredible power already, they have enough military to defend against some of the other kingdoms. The Uirlis Feirme have turned many basic farming tools into weapons to become somewhat deadly heavy fighters, and the Brotherhood of the Pan used pots and pans to create light infantry regiments. They also invented the rather useless egg rifle, which launches eggs at great speeds towards their foes. Sometimes they might also add some compost to the mix, or a bit of the more acidic vinegar. Not very deadly, but definitely not fun to have in your eyes.
So while they cannot defend against the Outsider, they can damn well put up a fight if another kingdom tries to invade their country. Naturally, they ought to bring in a few soldiers from other places, but they don't need to rely on them.
The weapons are of poor quality without professional smiths and they need their tools to survive, so they rely heavily on smithing Kingdoms.
They aren't very intelligent either, coming from the peasants of the past, so they don't know much in terms of practical knowledge aside from farming and cooking knowledge.
Backstory of The Kingdom:
Coinnigh wasn't a kingdom before the Outsider came. In fact, it was made up of most of the peasantry of the entire world that survived. The people who could plow a field gathered on the hill and created the "Kingdom" they live in now. As former peasants, they knew the terrors of dictatorship, and avoided it. Feirmeoir became the unofficial person who ran the land. He helped manage affairs with the outside, punish criminals, build infrastructure and plan defense. So in effect, he is the king, except that he doesn't live in a castle, rather a humble abode like everyone else. He meets with most of the town representatives to convene about what to do. So it's like a mix of a democracy and a monarchy. No one really cares what it is, because it works and that's good enough for most people.
Currently the Kingdom is rather small, consisting of three major cities, fifteen small towns, a forest of apple trees that takes up around a third of the land and a lake that takes up a sixth. The rest of the land is all fields and city. The main towns are called Feirme, Theich and Feirmlahm. It's a small place, but the soil is so fertile that it can produce more than any other place on the hill.
Kingdom Motto/Rulers Motto:
Kingdom Motto: "We're farmers. We're cooks. We don't give a damn about fancy words, so you and your mottoes can go jump in the compost pile."
Ruler Motto: "Hard work and sweat."
