Serene Duchy of Martoria

The Most Serene Duchy of Martoria (Martorian Elder Speech: Martovae) is a sovereign island nation primarily situated off the coast of Southern Cerulea. Martoria controls the entrance and most of the Piurelean Sea through island settlements and a significant naval presence. The Martorian Duchy, due to their own geographical location and the location of their vassals (predominantly the Vice-Royalty of Vundras), essentially fully controls seafaring commerce in the Piurelean. The Ducal Navy maintains a large presence in the Piurelean, much to the disdain of neighbouring coastal nations - predominantly the Hassanid Empire - often leading to naval skirmishes between the Serene Ducal Naval Service and the Hassanid Navy.

Recent History
Often dubbed the Dockyard of Cerulea, Martoria, before achieving sovereignty, was a high-standing and prestigious constituent nation of the Cerulean/Rhedonian Empire. Martoria provided seafaring vessels for its overlord and many of its fellow constituent nations. In recognition of its importance, Martoria was elevated to the status of a Rhedonian elector state.

Military
Martoria controls the largest and most powerful navy in the known world; the closest naval competitor is the Kingdom of Rhedonia, a long-standing political and military ally.

The Ducal Army, in comparison to the other great powers of Cerulea, could be considered inadequate in regards to its size. It is however the best trained military ground force in the world - a trait that somewhat compensates for its small size.
