Open Pokemon Civilization - Discussion

(This is slightly inspired by Civilization and this is only an idea at the moment.) :)
There is a World named Reanka, where it is inhabited by many cities and nations and ruled by Pokemon. In this land, you will either rule a kingdom, serve your royalty, fight for your nation or perhaps be an adventurer. In this is about the history of the nations being created with some of them conquering other kingdoms, making allies and spreading the peace. It is your choice to be aggressive, friendly, assertive, kind. You can either found a new City/Nation or be part of a current one.

Rules:
-Make sure you have read the Pokcharms rules.
-No one Liners
-You can have up to 3 characters. Anything more than that will get confusing.
-Make sure that you're not overpowered and make sure that everything good happens to your character. No one's perfect.
-Characters are allowed to die, if one of your characters die, then you can make another character.
-Make sure that your City is not impossible to take over. Some Kingdoms are military powers and some aren't You'll just have to live ith that.
*Note* You are allowed to do things like make alliances with other kingdoms, make peace treaties and even cause partnerships and take over kingdoms together.
-Romance is allowed, but keep it PG
-Mega Evolution and Z moves aren't allowed. Possibly will be allowed later in the RP maybe they get discovered by a scientist or a genius in someone's Civilization.
-No legendaries

Reanka is made up of two large continents and a lot of small islands littered around and in between those continents. You can also make your character the relative of a ruler in a kingdom if you want. Perhaps a prince or sibling of the ruler. Perhaps their spouse.

Resident Furry
Country Name: Confederacy of Vidirion (Vidirion, for short.)
Capital City: Vallgar
Other Cities: Terdaga, Varbo, Athisa, Ligira, Ferdara
Flag: A stylized silver silhouette of a Lucario's head, imprinted on a black circle, surrounded by a red background. This also serves as Vallgar's personal flag, and is featured as the hoist of each of the other five cities, which feature their own original flags as the fly.
Location: A maritime empire, each city is its own port. Vallgar itself is located on the southeastern coast of the western continent, a dry patch surrounded by swampland. The coast juts out to either side, of the city, forming a natural bay perfect for launching ships from. Athisa rests along the same coastline further northeast of the city, along the mouth of a great river. To the south of the city the coast juts out into a large, mountainous, peninsula, upon the other side of which rests the city of Ligira. None of these cities are connected by road, the terrain is too wet around Vallgar, and Ligira is cut off by the mountains.

Terdaga and Varbo each rests on islands in the ocean between continents. Terdaga is the closer of the two to Vallgar, practically due east from Athisa. Varbo is further to the northeast, with a temperate climate rather than a subtropical one like the four western cities. Finally, Ferdara is located on the western coast of the eastern continent, east-northeast of Varbo. Terdaga and Varbo both serve as rest stops on the voyage between the three cities on the eastern continent, and the one city on the western continent.
Description: A confederation of independent city-states joined together for the common purposes of defense and trade, in which Vallgar serves in a position of first among equals. Or, at least, that's the de jure arrangement. The de facto arrangement is much less nicer sounding. Each of the cities is under the thumb of Vallgar, and has been for as long as anyone can remember. The country is better described as a military republic, its martial tradition only matched by its maritime. Service in the armed forces is mandatory, and franchise is limited to service members and veterans. Power rests in the person of the Consul, who is elected to a ten year term and has no term limit, he serves directly from Vallgar, and appoints provincial governors to run the other cities in his name. Citizens of the confederacy are called Valdari in both singular and plural.
History: Once upon a time, each city in the confederacy was independent. Vallgar and Ligira were bitter rivals, each vying to control trade sailing up and down the coast and between the mainland and the outer islands. Their strength, however, was about even, and neither was able to gain the advantage over the other. Then, Vallgar struck upon an idea, and that was where Athisa came in. The Confederacy first formed between Vallgar and Athisa, a mutual pact between supposedly equal partners. In truth, Vallgar dominated the smaller Athisa almost from the beginning, and by their combined forces Ligira was conquered by a naval invasion, and forcibly added to the growing confederation.

Wars of conquest soon brought the island kingdoms of Terdaga and Varbo to their knees. Monarchical where the original cities where republican, the citizens soon welcomed their newfound rights, though not without tensions that still simmer between loyalists to the old regime and their descendents, and the younger generations and Valdari settlers that have no interest in stories of old glories. It has only been a generation since the city of Ferdara was added to the empire, starved into submission by a blockade launched from Varbo. It is a long way from Vallgar, and remains under military occupation until local unrest falls to safer levels.
Strengths: Vidirion's navy is powerful, and divided into two distinct halves. One is made up of merchantmen, and serves as the merchant navy during peacetime. These ships, the largest of which being third rate ships of the line, also serve in wartime as the primary offensive force. The second half is largely made up of very large and powerful, but slow ships including first and second rate ships of the line. Primarily defensive in nature, these ships patrol the waters around each city, protecting them from naval invasion, and also take part in any necessary blockade and coastal bombardment actions, usually through joint action with and under the protection of the faster but smaller and weaker merchant navy.

Vidirion does not have an army, in the traditional sense. Each city has its own stationed defense force with the hope of holding off attackers until aid can arrive. This aid comes in the form of marines, who supplement traditional naval action, including coastal raids and boarding parties. As one can imagine, this means Vidirion's armed forces are built to capture and hold coastal territories and dominate the sea, a task they have excelled at over their country's life so far. They do not hold any tactical interest in inland territories.
Consul: Virpim den Ligira

---

Name: Virpim den Ligira
Species: Lucario
Birthplace: Ligira, Vidirion
Age: 47
Appearance: A Lucario, of typical coloration. Several scars, with the appearance of claw marks, rake down the left side of his head: three lines starting on his forehead, wrapping around his left eye, to his cheek. He wears a brown cloak over a well pressed black shirt, upon which several service medals are pinned.
Personality: An exacting taskmaster, Virpim has a stern personality cultivated by years commanding vessels at sea. He expects no less than the best of those around him, but he is not unfair. The Lucario is intelligent and well spoken, and he was elected on a platform of consolidation, the integration of Feldara, and the expansion of the navy.
Current Location: Vallgar, Vidirion
Role/Occupation: Consul
Other: Virpim was a popular Vice Admiral prior to his election. He is now serving the second year of his first ten year term. As a greenhorn sailor some 28 years ago, he took part in the blockade of Ferdara. Though hailing from Ligira, his family is very old and originally came from Vallgar. He is a member of the founding species of Vallgar.


Name: Cezary den Varbo
Species: Samurott
Birthplace: Varbo, Vidirion
Age: 35
Appearance: A bipedal Samurott of typical coloration, Cezary's whiskers are trimmed short, especially the ones that make up his 'beard.'His seamitars are held in the bracers of his hindlimbs, rather than his forelimbs. He wears a red bandanna around his neck, and a red armband on his left forelimb, pinned to which is his badge signifying his rank within the merchant navy.
Personality: A quiet and thoughtful commander. When displeased, he burns with a quiet fury that unnerves the Pokemon under his command. He also tends to be rather gruff, and speaks bluntly and without tact.
Current Location: A port in Henlow, Crimsonia.
Role/Occupation: Captain in the Vidirion Merchant Navy, commanding the Ocean Sword.
Other: The Ocean Sword is a two-decker third rate ship of the line, carrying 74 cannons and crewed by 80 Pokemon. She carries cargo between various foreign ports and the home cities during peacetime, and prowls hostile waters for ships to sink as part of a squadron during wartime. Right now, she carries cargo.

Name: Arkady den Vallgar
Species: Mienfoo
Birthplace: Vallgar, Vidirion
Age: 23
Appearance: Arkady is a shiny Pokemon, exhibiting a blue and white coloration. He wears a belt, with a cutlass strapped to the back, its sheath resting on his tail. On his right side a flintlock pistol is holstered, also attached to the belt around his waist. He wears a blue bandanna around his neck, and a blue sash wrapped from his right shoulder to his left hip, upon which his badge signifying his rank in the merchant navy is pinned.
Personality: Friendly and energetic, Arkady is well liked by his crew members, but often looked down on by his superiors. He has never seen live combat, an thus has yet to develop any sort of cynical shell. He enjoys attention, and thinks of himself as being witty. While perhaps lacking in professionalism, he is as loyal as the rest of his crew members and would never dream of being insubordinate.
Current Location: At port in Henlow, Crimsonia.
Role/Occupation: Lieutenant in the Vidirion Merchant Navy, serving on the Ocean Sword.
Other: N/A

Around the Xatu, there are another tree precious gems: one at the right, pure gold; another over the Xatu, a sapphire ; and other on the left; a pearl. He carries a bag with his productos too.
Personality: He is moved by his interests. He may look like a gentle and kind Pokemon, but the ones that know him a lot can tell you that he has a very dark side.
Currently Living in: Henlow.
Role/Occupation: Owns his business.
Other: He started his job as a Murkrow in Veto, where he agreed with Cloud to give him some money for they necessities if he supplied his business with berries. He was attacked by a group of bandits while he lived in Veto (loosing his middle precious gem, a diamond), so he decided to move to Henlo. In Henlo, he evolved.

Dapper_Cat

Name: Bjarke Kastali
Species: Typhlosion
Birthplace: Greindur
Age: 23
Appearance: Bjarke is tall compared to a normal Typhlosion, usually wearing a full set of gold-trimmed armor. He sometimes weras a purple cape with the logo of Kingdom on the back of it. His body is covered in scars.
Personality: Bjarke, despite what many would believe, is very caring for those he sees as friends, and is never willing to be the instigator in a war.
Currently Living in: Greindur
Role/Occupation: King of Kastali Dyr
Other: Despite the beliefs of his ancestors, Bjarke does not believe in keeping the family line pure Typhlosion.

Kingdom Name: Kastali Dyr
Capital City: Greindur
Other Cities: Skrimsli, Kvikindi, Schepsel, Oorlog, Sjoher
Flag: The flag for the kingdom of Kastali Dyr has a purple background, and has the head of a Typhlosion on it, in a silvery color in the center. On the left and right of the Typhlosion are two Quilava silhouettes, standing on their hind legs with swords in their hands.
Location: Kastali Dyr and most of it's cities lie in a mountainous area in the center of the western continent. The only exception is Sjoher, which lies on the edge of the continent, and serves as a port town. The travel between Sjoher and Greindur is about a day-long journey by Rapidash-carriage.
Description/Landscape: Kastali Dyr is based in a mountainous Region, full of barbarians and the like. As such, most of the cities are actually based underground and in caves. The only exceptions are Sjoher and the capital, Greindur.
History: Unlike most of the other cities in Kastali Dyr, Greindur is not in a cave, or underground. It is based in a very large valley, full of lush plants and farmland. In their past, Kastali Dyr was a Kingdom that brought war in every city they went to. They conquered the kingdoms they came across. With their new King, however, they hope to put their past behind them. They've kept some of the cities they first conquered, but returned a large part of the land they took. Currently, Kastali Dyr has always had a line of pureblood Typhlosion as their king. Despite their new outlook, the King still hangs on to the tradition of all citizens having to go through a two-year military training regiment.
Strengths: Being raised in a mountainous region gives the advantage to Kastali Dyr when it comes to brute strength. They are often applauded for the strength of their men and the tactical minds of their leaders. When defending themselves, they are known to use the mountains to their advantage.
Ruler/King/Queen/President: Bjarke Kastali

Strengths: Literally, nobody knows about it. Has a whole bunch of spies to keep track of what's happening in the reigon, and occasionally nudges something one way or another. All Pokémon living there are completely loyal, and will defend it however possible. Yes, all of them.

@Sky5372 You've neglected to mention what, exactly, this "Fsrea" character is. I presume a member of the Abra line, but the Natu line, Ralts line, Claydol, and Elgyem can all learn Teleport. As we can discount Gallade, it being male only and this character being mentioned as female, that leaves ten options. I need to know which one before I can reply to your post.

Oh, my bad. I did mention earlier that Hyrain uses Kirlia spies, but I doubt you would've noticed that. She's a minor character, so I won't make her a form, but she's a senior spy

I don't think Hyrain would be very happy if she took a detour halfway through a journey and then explained exactly where she was.

All Luxray have the same sight ability. Also, earlier, it did mention that in the digging team there were a few Luxray to check where the fracture was above ground.
