Description
The Empire of Steel (occasionally referred to simply as the EOS) is a nation similar to the other kingdoms of the area, however its placement is much farther north- mainly situated among a variety of pine forests, tundras, and high-altitude mountain ranges. Its population is an odd mixture of humans and machines. Although neither group has much issue with the other, it's more of a neutral coexistence than anything else. The EOS has claimed vast swathes of Northern territories, however it has yet to come into true contact with the bickering kingdoms of the South.

Culture-wise, the EOS is a mixed basket. Technology wise... is a bit complicated. The EOS has regressed back to a period around the late industrial age to the earliest years of the modern era. Although its steel army is composed of advanced robots, the soldiers themselves use much older weaponry. The EOS can field rockets, although they lack the accuracy and tracking systems of modern missiles. Steelian (I shall henceforth refer to EOS stuff as such) artillery can lay down a powerful barage, yet it still requires spotters and luck to hit its targets properly. The EOS boasts its own air-force, however these planes are old-fashioned and propeller-driven- a mighty asset but still with its fallibility. Bombers can be inaccurate, and even some of the more advanced designs have their own weaknesses. The armored divisions have their own strength, but the army still generally tries to preserve a dependence by the infantry on the armor for support and vice-versa.

In terms of economy, the EOS is farily stable. Steelian marks are the general staple of the economy, with various bills representing certain intervals of 5, 10, 20, etc. (basically kind of similar to US dollars) The EOS also has half-mark coins- the smallest possible amount of official Steelian currency. The Steelian government can issue projects without payment, however in compensation it provides free basic supplies to those working on said projects.

The EOS is also a highly industrial nation, although agricultural areas in the south and fishing at the eastern coast generally keep up with the demand for food. With factories themselves producing soldiers and armaments, the EOS can quickly restore its armies when running at full capacity and efficiency.
