Royaume de Kanjor (Kingdom of Kanjor), often simply Kanjor, is a nation situated on the southernmost peninsula of the continent of Seleya. It borders Royaume-Uni de Grande-Rildanor et du Noumonde to the north and Nations Unie D'Alduria to the west. Over the centuries Kanjor has changed its allegiance many times; being linked to L'Union de Seleya du Sud as the Union de Seleya du Sud, Province de Kanjor during the 2400s, declaring itself l'État Libre de Kanjor (Free State of Kanjor) in the 2500s. Since the 2680s it has flirted, off and on, with monarchism. It is currently in a kingdom with the coronation of HRH King Patric Frédéric in 2851.

[edit] History
The history of Kanjor is a long and complicated one. It was not until the modern era have records survived in enough quality and quantity to accurately assess its history. It is because of this that the earlier history of Kanjor is subject to constant re-evaluation.
Kanjorien history is classified into five "eras"; Archaic, Classical, Historical, Monarchical and Modern.
The original inhabitants of modern Kanjor were the Numineux who developed a civilisation of peaceful farmers, fishermen and traders in the Numineux Valley and along the Numineux coast. In 1137 BC, the Numineux civilisation suffered a major setback after being invaded by the rising Bendirian Kingdom from the west. Within several decades, the Numineux Valley had fallen and the Numineux civilisation had almost collapsed. The Numineux fled to the Isle of La Tondelle and were not to return to the mainland in force for another three hundred years.
After the settlement of the Isle, Numineux power grew considerably. By the middle of the 8th century BC, the Numineux, under Count Henri Munodi, returned to the mainland and reconquered much of the Numineux Valley. Count Munodi was killed in a Bendirian ambush during the reconquest and a peace treaty by his successor halted Numineux expansion.
From about the eighth to the first century B.C. a recognizable Kanjor began to develop in the following centuries as the various rulers were more focussed on internal matters. During the First Empire, the Numineux lands changed considerably as the Empire grew and absorbed all of the mainland provinces and the Silliers areas of the Isle of La Tondelle. Large areas of modern day Rildanor and Alduria are also conquered. However, barbarian incursions and economic faltering eventually destroyed the empire.
Once again, the nation fell into disarray, and various governments struggle for power over the following centuries. It was not until 2326 that modern Kanjor, in its current shape, formed.
[edit] Demographics
The primary ethnicity of Kanjor is Française-Kanjorien (French-Kanjorien), which has retained its strong majority position through centuries of turmoil and anti-immigration policies. It shares the French language with the descendants of much of southern Seleya. The Française-Kanjorien majority are descended from the migrants of the northwest the who came to modern Kanjor through the Numineux Valley into Kanjorien Numineux.
While many Kanjoriennes are bilingual, French is the primary, and official, language of the nation. A basic ability to speak and understand the language is required in all Régions of Kanjor. In consequence, roughly 98% of the population can speak, read and write in French.

[edit] Defence
The Armées de Kanjor, or Armed Forces of Kanjor, is the military of the the nation. The military is divided into three main branches, the Armée de Terre (Army), l'Marine Royale (Royal Navy), and the Armée de l'Air (Air Force).
[edit] L'Marine Royale
Given the geographical location of Kanjor, its reliance on the sea and the Silliers Channel has made the Royal Navy the largest professional branch of the Armed Forces. The Navy has approximately 230,000 active duty personnel with a further 200,000 in the Garde Naval as reservists.
The Navy is considered the most well trained and equipped in the Armed forces and because of this, its personnel consider themselves elite and the fighting spirit, or esprit de corps, of the Navy is tremendously high.
[edit] Troupes de marine
There is a special place in the Marine Royale, and the hearts of the people of the Isle of La Tondelle, for the Troupes de marine. Composing the land arm of the Navy, and having consistently existed for nearly five hundred years, the soldiers of the Troupes de marine are more likely than any other branch to be posted and serve in overseas or foreign locals. Because of their illustrious history and frequent overseas ventures, the Troupes de marine consider themselves the "élite de l'élite" of the entire Armed Forces.
The marines are the only force trained in amphibious assault, conduct large-scale overseas peacekeeping missions and provide security at naval installations. Most importantly, however, they are the sole military protection on the Isle of La Tondelle; marines consider it dishonorable to allow any other military forces, especially the Army, onto the Isle.
[edit] Armée de Terre
[edit] Armée de l'Air
The Armée de l'Air is the airforce of Kanjor. It operates a variety of aircraft in defense and support roles, as well as providing support aircraft to the Armée de Terre. All of its aircraft are home-built, either of native design, or from modified foreign designs.
[edit] Security
There are two main security organisations within Kanjor. The Service de Sécurité de Kanjor (SSK) deals with matters of internal security. It is in fact prohibited from operating outside of Kanjoran territory.
The other is the Gendarmerie Nationale, the police force of Kanjor. It is actually a branch of the military, and has several specialised forces. It was formed at the start of 2342 from the five Gendarmerie Provinciales, which had been under the control of local governments, and varied in quality and ability.
