Helman

General Info


The Helman Empire is the oldest Human nation in the current era, and boasts the largest infantry, specially trained from an early age, it is truly an elite military nation. Helman is a nation in the northern parts of The Continent. Its lands are cold and barren.

Population: Approx. 63 million

Capital: Lang Bau

Leader: Sheila Helman

It was formerly a republic nation, but upon the enthronement of the current Empress in LP0002 the government has shifted to Imperialism.

The current leader of the nation is Empress Sheila Helman, but she is only a puppet. Chancellor Stessel Romanov hold the actual power. Under the command of Stessel, the government is in utter corruption, and the nation's power has been reduced to half of its former glory.

Even then, it still overwhelms Leazas in both sheer population and military forces.

Political Structure
Helman was originally a National Republic, with a comittee of eight trustees that would help govern the nation with the Emperor.

As of the year LP0002, the political system has been overhauled to imperialism, the country name was changed to "Helman Empire".

Living Conditions
As Helman is primarily a military state, most of the budget goes into army maintenance and training facilities.

This means that Helman has the most poverty of the three great nations, with many people living very poor lives without food, housing or education.

Most able-bodied young men are drafted into the military and even the women are brought in to work heavy industry, wages are generally poor and most can't even support their families.



Despite the extreme poverty, there is actually a cache of 100 million gold in the Emperor Palace, though that is reserved for personal use by the royal family. The fact that Helman is situated in the frozen north doesn't help the situation either, crops cannot be grown and the only precious resources are rare metals.

To the west is a border to the Monster Realm but they are secured by a long Fortress called Banra Fort. The structure is mundane compared to Zeth's Maginot Line, with just a fortress made of rocks and simple catapults. However, it is secured by strong Helman soldiers, and the other side of the borders is ruled by the Hornet Faction, which is a non-aggressive moderate faction that seeks peaceful coexistance with humanity, which means Helman has yet to receive a heavy attack from the Monster Realm.

However, with the reform after the Helman Revolution and the fall of Stessel from power, things will likely start to improve.

Military
The military is the biggest feature of Helman, and the most impressive. Their training facilites have helped produce some of the strongest fighters on the continent, including people like Fletcher Modell, Thoma Lipton and Minerva Margaret.

Helman is the military superpower of the continent, they have 6 unique divisions that can decimate most anyone. They even have Devils and some docile monsters in their armies, so well equipped battalions could even take down a Dark Lord. They have an elite unit known as the "Black Knights", a clad in black iron armor, black shields and custom built blades, these units have been specially trained since infancy to become the ultimate soldiers. The whole Army is composed of around 310,000 people, being almost thrice as big as Leazas' Army. However, there are conflicts within the top of the Helman army, and lack of unity is felt through out the military. The disorganization and inner conflicts among the armies is one of the biggest weaknesses Helman suffers as a consequence of the  political turmoil  there is within the country.

Due to the poverty of the nation, the armor worn by the Helman soldiers are not the high grade, light yet durable steel like the ones Leazas soldiers wear. Instead, they are thick and heavy. This does not seem to be a problem as Helman soldiers tends to be very built and muscular.

After the Helman Revolution, the army was greatly weakened with the deaths of many of its top generals and many soldiers, suffering a severe restructuration.
