Succession: The Ruler is decided by the Council of the Wise when the previous King dies. They are an impartial organisation, composed of a group of the best scientists, academics and politicians in the kingdom.
Government: All administrative decisions are undertaken by the Council, on how to run the country internally. However, all decisions need to be okayed by the King. The King is also the head of the military, the highest judicial authority, and in charge of all foreign relations.
Slavery: All Elves are free under the Kingdom of Vessingar. Not many people have slaves, however after the Last War slavery of other races is becoming more common.
Ethics: The Vessians are a long-lived and contemplative race. They pride their vast knowledge and their forest lands and fight fiercely to protect them.
Foreign affairs: The Kingdom of Vessingar was very isolationist before the war, now trade has started opening borders and many new races and people have started coming through.
Religion: The Vessians generally worship the forest.
Land Located: Vessingar is located in the valley under the mountains, just north of the lake right in the middle.
Climate: Nestled in a valley full of rivers and high pine trees, the weather alternates between raining and being sunny almost every day. A light drizzle is part of everyday life.
Agriculture: The fruit plantations in Vessingar are famed for their delicious apples, apricots and peaches. However, fishing and hunting provides for the other half of the meal.
Currency: The Kingdom uses silver as its currency.
Valued Resources: Fruit, animal products such as furs and leather, and domesticated animals of all varieties.
Population: 500,000
Class Demographic: Nobles 8%, Wealthy merchants 32%, Commoners 56%, Slaves and foreigners 4%
Species Demographic: Forest elves 73%, other elves 23%, other races 4%
Empire Strengths: The thick forest cover has many outposts and the kingdom knows exactly who is coming through. They do not need to move out for most resources.
Empire Weaknesses: Big fires, if they go out of control can cause massive destruction to the kingdom. If some enemy attacks from over the mountains Vessingar will be ill prepared for it now.
Military: The military is a meritocracy, with voluntary service possible. A standing army was seen as necessary after the Last War, and it has grown in size since then. There is a huge number of archers, crossbowmen and otherwise ranged soldiers. Light infantry is almost non-existent to the point of providing scouting roles. The vanguard of the army is heavy cavalry, followed by mounted crossbowmen.
Military Might: The army has almost grown to 60,000 in size and is actively involved in keeping barbarians out of the country’s borders.
Military Strengths: The military’s greatest strength when defending is using the forest as cover, and using guerrilla tactics. While attacking their greatest advantage is speed.
Military Weaknesses: Vessingar’s military is based almost entirely on ranged combat.
History: An isolationist nation hidden in the forest, the Vessians never stepped out, choosing to stay in the comfort of their land. With no military, they lost to the High King of Ceris almost immediately. Choosing to be a vassal state under him, they flourished trading knowledge and resources, and when the King perished, so did any semblance of security. Invaders rushed in, claiming parts of the forest almost all the way up the capital city of Haafar. In a bid to save their land, almost all Vessians took up arms and pushed back. Finally, they established their borders and established their nation once again.

◦ National Symbol: An inscribed golden Sun disk embedded between two large, long triangles that point straight down (Think the Halo energy Sword type of triangle) on a field of black.
◦ Empire Leader: God Emperor Yanden, Second of his name.
◦ Succession: The high priest of the clergy is the direct successor to the throne, where he once again assumes his name for the first time since he locked it away after he became a member.
◦ Government: A council of high priests advise the God Emperor, but ultimately all major decisions are entirely up to him.
◦ Slavery: All non-Mitron are treated as a lesser species, the equivalent of dogs, and are treated as such. Slavery is a massive trade in the empire, and almost all Slaves are treated poorly.
◦ Ethics: Competitiveness and Ruthlessness are admirable qualities and allow for rapid development. All are subservient to the god emperor, and it is of the highest honour to die in his name.
◦ Foreign affairs: 'Disgusting heathen mongrels! It sickens me that we are to commit trade with such... such animals!' - Average Mitron Opinion of other countries.
◦ Religion: The ruler is seen to be a living deity of divine power who, upon his death in the mortal world, will go to join the pantheon of former emperors in eternal torment as they spend all they can in protecting their citizens.
◦ Land Located: Samrathon, located on the Northern Hemisphere of the world. The capital city Basikor is known to be virtually unassailable, a city built into the sides of three mountains, with walls almost a hundred metres tall, riddled with underground (and above ground) tunnels and heavy defences such as ballista, scorpions, boiling tar and many varieties of traps. The streets are narrow and the buildings packed together, designed to reduce the effectiveness of large beasts, cavalry and range centric armies, emphasising upon the skill and preparedness of the invading and defending infantry. The city is tiered, with a larger inner wall for the central castle and keep, tall enough for those manning the ballista and scorpions upon the inner wall to easily shoot down into the heavily packed invading army. Towns are often located within the more winter-y sections of the country, often embedded within mountains or near the sea or dead forests that dominate the winter plains, while cities sprout upon the border and increase in size and opulence throughout the sunny plains and mountains that the wealthier Mitron make their homes in.
◦ Climate: The climate varies between landscapes, and with it social class. Those who live within the sun and warmth filled areas are to be considered middle and upper class citizens, while Lower class toil and work within the snowy fields and mines.
◦ Agriculture: Middle class citizens often control a variety of farms, maintained through slave effort, while the lower class toil in mines for precious gems and metals to sell upon the market. The upper class citizens have long held 'blood tariffs', where the family is entitled to a portion of many lower class families income.
◦ Currency: Iron and copper coins are used for trading, with copper being used for many resources such as clothing, a bed or a meal and iron being utilised for more extravagant purchases such as manors, slaves and entire farms. Anything more expensive than that usually requires the bartering of equally valuable materials.
◦ Valued Resources: The area of Samrathon has high levels of basic minerals, especially Iron and Copper. Using these allows Samrathon to keep a chokehold of the goods from neighbouring countries, which are the only partners they bother to trade with. Large amounts of crops are often imported by the Mitron, due to most of their own land only being able to effectively grow one or two different plants.
◦ Population: 800, 000.
◦ Class Demographic: 10% Priests, which a noble must be. 20% middle Class. 40% Lower class. 30% indoctrinated slaves.
◦ Species Demographic: Almost all are humans, but look more like stereotypical Norse men that you find in fantasy (You know what I'm talking about right?). Any non-Norse are slaves.
◦ Empire Strengths: The Imperium's military is a force to be reckoned with. All soldiers are devoted to the emperor and have no problem dying for the one true God. The Imperium's smiths are capable of creating mass works of iron weapons and armour at an extreme place to an acceptable standard.
◦ Empire Weaknesses: the Imperium relies upon its religion to keep the slaves in line. Should 30% of their population revolt, they would be crippled due to in fighting. Iron and Copper are not rare materials, and should another, better, source appear to those that they export to the economy would be crippled. It was simply through sheer luck that they managed to get to the only strong deposits before their competitors.
◦ Military: The military of the Sacrosanct Mitron Imperium is phenomenal. Their officers are trained from birth to inspire loyalty and bring doom to the battlefield through tactics, and the soldiers are often heavily armed and armoured, fanatical in their loyalty towards the emperor.
◦ Military Might: All priests are extremely adept and capable commanders, capable of whipping a town into a frenzy at a moments notice. The standing army itself numbers 115, 000 men strong.
◦ Navy: They're capable. A medium sized fleet centred almost entirely around boarding and invasion actions. All of their ships are far larger than a normal ship, which allows for easier ability to board. Each ship houses at either a single ballista and one scorpion or multiple scorpions. When these ballista or scorpions are fired, attached to them is often a thick steel cable for the purpose of trapping ships and allowing troops to board. The standard ship has heavy reinforcing and cover in the front, so as to allow them to ram or take incoming fire from land, with the port and starboard sides decently armoured and a single scorpion guarding the rear of the ship.
◦ Military Strengths: The Imperium's armies are extremely powerful. Their warriors are highly trained, well equipped and feel no fear. Their officers are highly adept at what they do, capable of whipping their soldiers into a religious frenzy, pushing them beyond the edge as they direct them, utilising crushing tactics to destroy their foes. The Mitron army is highly diverse, combining and utilising a myriad of light, medium and heavy units into an extremely effective fighting force, although there is a higher emphasis upon heavily armoured units than the previous two.
◦ Military Weaknesses: The imperium carries a heavy deficit of cavalry, with only two recorded units in the entire army considered capable of riding, adding up to a total of 2000. It took the Imperium years to train those soldiers, thus they are only used when in dire need. The bow has yet to become mainstream for the Imperium army, thus in order to hit enemies at a range, the imperium is forced to use a combination of inaccurate javelins and throwing axes. Thus, there are no designated ranged units throughout all the Mitron force, with each soldier simply having a small supply of javelins or axes that they are given the basics on how to throw.
◦ History: 'Before the Twenty year war, there was one man known to be blessed by the divine. So holy was he that it is said when the war began, no mortal man was able to touch him upon the battlefield. It was his Holiness that lead us from the darkness and into the path of the light, teaching us of the ways of the emperors from times before. It was through his might that we banded together into the one true empire, removing all other lesser species from our lands as we staked our claim. It was through his will that after the war we shaped our swords into plowshares and worked the land in His name. It is through his kindness that we survive today, and it is our duty, nay, our privilege to be ruled by him, and in return all we must give is everything.' - Excerpt from The Great Book of Holy Recordings, often given to those first inducted into the clergy.
One or two corrections though. The northern part you've marked is partly desert. Ice is at the bottom, the two white lands. So let me know what the change is.
Can you expand on the history a bit more? It's a little unclear to me. Rest everything is cool!

Right, I edited the map but it's a little bigger than before so I wanna know what ya think. Also, minor edit to the history. It's basically just this one racist guy leading a bunch of fanatical religious people to ejecting all natives of the land and staking his claim through force.

The nobility known as the Polemis who are true Dohna citizens who have political rights and own land, the commoners, the Ergatis, the land owners who cannot vote, and the Mikrotis, who are the unpaid farmers with no land or political rights. This is a strict but flexible class system should one be a Ergatis as an Ergatis can become a after 25 years of military service.

• History: Orginally Dohna was a tribe of nomadic raiders, who travelled around the southern parts of Ceris, raiding, pillaging and taking slaves. They were feared as they rode and fought with many deadly reptilian beasts they called Dragons, which made the Dohna a powerful threat to any unfortified town. However even with their Dragons, the Dohna was separated into dozens of smaller tribes that did whatever they wanted and needed to survive, and the current king of Dohna, Otis Lias, knew that they will never be able to survive Ceris now that the king had died. So the young tribe King set off, uniting the tribes one by one, with diplomatic options if he could but with force when diplomacy had failed. Soon after 10 years of uniting his tribes King Otis then set his eyes on a home for his people. He led his tribe to a city that used to belong to a race known as the Keratos, a race of human like creatures with flat nose-less faces and a variety of horns and antlers sprouting from their heads. After a hard siege that lasted three months, Otis broke the gates and led his forces into the city, conquering it and enslaving the Keratos population. He then renamed the city Dohna and established her territory from the great lake to the north to the ocean to the south. He named this location Otis’s Pass as if anyone wished to travel through the pass they would need to pay Dohna a fee otherwise they must walk around the lake, or sail across the ocean or lake.
