GURPS Kirinioth - The Nation of Halfling Civ Brainstorm

• Halfling Civ is a nation of (surprise!) Halflings, or Broett Iein, on the northern reaches of the Shielded Sea Region
• Its northern borders are fairly undefined, as they are constantly under attack from the denizens of the icy north
• To the west it is bordered by Human Civ #3, to the east it is cordered by the sea, and to the south it is bordered by the Nation of Thrinecia
• The Broett Iein, normally peaceful, have skirmished with Thrinecia; during Alkanos' march, his armies treated the Broett Iein very poorly while passing through their lands and relations have been tense over the past 20+ years
• Halfling Civ has three large cities, and two more notable cities scattered throughout the country; most halflings however live in small villages or in the forest
• The Broett Iein do not have any major minerals available to them and obtain most of the minerals they need via trade; while not known for their use of magic, they do make use of magically infused materials, though to date, outsiders are not sure how they are obtained or created
• Trade partners include Human Civ #2, Human Civ #3 and Neatt Kaed; while there is no formal trade with Ikihuvai, Broett Iein merchants do make their way to Kvibrear to buy and sell goods with the Dwarves
• Broett Iein troops normally wear leather armors, and are armed with bows or crossbow; most carry a short sword or long dagger, but generally prefer to avoid melee combat
• The Broett Iein are closely allied with the Reptile People, who are considered to be part of their nation; The Reptile people wear heavy armors of leather, scale, or in some case chain mail or coats of plate; they are far more likely to be armored in metal, as the halflings feel it is a more efficient use of the resource; for weapons, they carry greatswords (often in one hand) and large shields; some will carry javelins, maces or chained weapons
• In large engagements, the Broett Iein make use of animals; their armies are often accompanied by bears, wolves, great cats, etc.
• Fauna include deer, bear, moose, caribou, sheep, hog, wolf, and tiger
• sheep and hog are the primary herd animals used for meat consumption, with dairy mostly imported in cheese form; wheat and corn are grown in the southern parts of the country, while vegetable and fruit orchards and farms are in the north
• Broett Iein in the north often wear bright, festive colors, but the southern halflings tend to wear colors to help them blend with the forests or tall grass

I should probably add something here.
