Kingdom of Farmenas

The Kingdom of Farmenas (ファルメナス王国) is a country established after the fall of the Kingdom of Falmuth. The coup d'état staged by Diablo removed King Edward from power, and Champion Youm became crowned as the new king. It is a puppet state, with the ruling class answering to Demon Lord Rimuru.

Background
The climax of the civil war in the land of Falmuth resulted in Edward's dethronement and Youm's crowning as king. With the support of not only the prominent nobles Marquis Muller and Earl Hermann, but also the surviving members of the Falmuth royal family, Youm's claim to the throne became solidified. Falmuth officially signed a non-aggression treaty with the Jura Tempest Federation to conclude the failed campaign against Tempest previously spearheaded by them. The treaty itself was little more than a pretext for Falmuth to receive monetary aid and resources from Tempest to recover from the burden of two consecutive wars. The rest of Falmuth's substantial tab in reparations to Tempest was eventually waived away by Demon Lord Rimuru in a calculated move to strengthen Youm's support base. In time the land was renamed Farmenas, and Youm himself took on the Youm Farmenas.

Government
Farmenas retains much of the governing structure of Falmuth, with most of the dissenting nobles on Edward's side in the civil war being cowed by Diablo into following Youm. As Youm lacks a formal education and does not possess a background for politics, he depends on the crucial aid of his close advisor Edmaris and his staff officer, Edgar. Despite the land being a vassal state of Tempest, it is not automatically impacted by Tempest's laws, allowing the government some freedom and leeway in their policies. The country's day to day affairs are chiefly managed by Chief Sorcerer Razen and Queen Mjur Farmenas.

Economy
After the land lost its status as a center of trade, its economy has spiralled into significant decline. It has turned to agriculture as a primary means for earning taxes and invested a great deal of research towards making it their specialty. The royal family's coffers have been completely bled dry, relying on loans from Tempest to sustain the nation. There's not even enough money to repair the royal castle, as most of the nation's available resources have been devoted to the construction of an urban area for the upcoming "Magic Train" Tempest plans to install, something that will act as a lifeline for the nation and revitalize the local economy. A large station was constructed on the outskirts of the capital and contains many warehouses in the vicinity, it is planned to become a relay point between Blumund and Dwargon in the near future as well as function as an integral logistics center for exporting the locally produced grain.

Military
Farmenas' military might is comparatively meagre to Falmuth during its peak. What became left after the decimation of all of Falmuth's elite knights were the rejects and reserves who didn't make the cut to be included in the invasion of Tempest. It will take a long time for the land's military power to recover even with current Knight Corps' leader Grucius training them. However, with the addition of Saare and Grigori in its ranks, Farmenas' military is not completely helpless.
