Backstory/Lore: In the days when freedom was unimaginable and all that ruled the land were chieftains, a small collection of tribes developed systems of voting. Gone were the ways of war and battle to choose your leaders. Despite this their leader, their elected chief often remained the strongest and most warlike, for despite their ability to vote they still needed safety from their neighbours. In time they expanded, often through war but sometimes through peace. Being able to vote on anything that had a major effect on their lives pleased the people and in time they grew to a size where they could stop fearing all their nearby competition and an idealistic man by the name of Kaeli was elected to lead. For the first time a real campaign to be elected was in place. As their old lord grew frail he held feasts and offered the boons of his hunts to matriarchs and patriarchs of differing families. This was the beginning of the current elective system and during his rule he set rules and systems to ensure the elections were fair and that the growing nation would no longer require every man, woman and child to come vote. He saw that they generally voted with the head of their family and that there never really seemed to be a close competition between two people of the same family and began the house voting system, heads of families met together to vote on various laws and policies. This continued for many years until a large civil war occurred.
During the Civil war, in which two families proved more influential then the others and began massive trade efforts to gain nearby support. In the end one side was left all but powerless and the other began cherry picking the families that would benefit from the conflict. Gone were the days of everyone getting a vote and so began the days of rich and powerful families voting on things that would effect everyone else. The Civil war also established the nation as a major trade power with abundant resources.

Military Equipment: Im never very good at this...
70% of their Navy is in submersibles. Submersible cruise liners and Submersible military vessels. Most of these military vessels have to surfaces to do anything. While some are equipped with Torpedos most are not. Those equipped with Torpedos will have between 8 and 22 Torpedos. Most vessels are armed with cannons that are sealed when submerged and can begin shelling and baraging the enemy within 45 seconds of surfacing.
These are transports and are used by both the navy and civilian sides to transport people and goods. They are armed with a small number of anti-personnel weapons on the top and are other wise unarmed. They number 115 in the Navy with another 67 Private vessels in use
This is the workhorse of the Navy, cheap and efficient. Their large 'circular saws' do not rotate but are very sharp and strong, making effective weapons for breaching the hull of enemy ships. They have two Anti-Personnel weapons on the deck and a further pair of two barrelled cannons. (All of which can only fire when surfaced) They also have 4 stern Topedo bays and 2 bow bays with a total of 12 torpedos stored. They number 55 in total
Serving as the heavy hitting arm of the navy, the Lumiere class has 3 torpedo bays on the port side, 2 on the bow and stern, for a total of 7 bays. They store 22 Torpedos unless undertaking offensive operations where they will hold up to 37. They have single barrel cannons with a 180' arc of fire on the starboard and port sides. They number only 5.
The pride of their Navy is the Grand Projection. It sits alone as the command station of the fleet. Able to dock with small, 1-3 person submersibles while submerged and armed with four anti-personnel guns and two, two barreled cannons it is not to be ignored in battle. However its true strength lies in the 18 docked 3 man submersibles, each armed with an anti-personnel weapon and able to enter shallows of as little as 4ft depth. (Not while submerged). The Grand Projection is one of a kind.
They do have some surfaced navy ships, most of which are supply and refuelling ships but some are battle worthy. These ships total 12, 4 fuelling vessels, 3 supply ships, 3 floating armouries and 2 armed ships.
When it comes to land they have incredibly inefficient but beautiful land crawlers. There is currently only one of these.
Other: They are an offshoot of the elven race, adapted to survive well underground and traditional homes are sometimes still built this way but for the most part they have begun to live like other more 'conventional' peoples do
