Etymology

The modern term Hercynia derives from the ancient Cybello-Aryavar term Erkunia, or Ėrkóƣ which originally pertained to a local tract of forest in south-central Hercynia. The While the forest has been destroyed due to human civilization over the millennia, the Erkunian forest is believed by scholars to have originally covered most of mainland Cybellum.

Due to the remote and difficult to access location of most of modern day Hercynia, linguistic distancing and cut-off evolution eventually changed the term from "Erkunia" to "Herkinia," or Hrkinƣ. This is believed to have taken place by the time of the Alpanian Republics founding in 500 BC. Afterward, by the time of the founding of the Hercynian Federation in 851, the term had evolved into the modern Hercynian Hrsinƣ.

Hercynian's complex grammar leaves terminologies relating to ownership in the case of nationality as suffixes at the end of the word. The full terminology of İlustra Tҕægesom Hrsinƣ-ҕėnke, or the "Enlightened Kingdom of Hercynia," derives from the words İlustra meaning "enlightened, bright" or "vibrantly illustrated," and Tҕægesom, or "Traégi's-dominion/Traégi's home." Hrsinƣ-ҕėnke itself means "Hercynian Realm." Яėnke is roughly analogous to the Altenic "Reich," the Reynish "Realm," Alpanian "Regnum," and the Freijian "Rijk."

Hercynian, compared to other Cybello-Aryavar languages, has been classified as the least evolved out of all of them. Please see the language section for more information.

Military

The military of Hercynia is rather unique compared to other Cybellian militaries. When inside the borders of Hercynia, the Hercynian military (Hercynian: Milⴽ Hrsinƣ-ҕėnke or "Milts Hrsinrenke") functions as a primarily defensive and policing force, and it generally spends its time preforming training, civil building projects, or policing the local populace.

The military is divided up into four sections. These are the Army, or "Milts," the Internal Security Board (Hercynian: İnd𐒉 Milⴽ Ξėrdөs, "Indja Milts Kwehrdois"), the Royal Guard (Hercynian: Tréagᐱ Ξėrdөs, "Treagew Kwehrdois"), and the Air Force (Hercynian: Por𐒉 Ξėrdөs, "Porjaa Kwehrdois"). Of these, the largest is without a doubt the general Army, which is tasked with most of domestic and foreign issues pertaining to defense. The Internal Security Board, or the IhMKw, is tasked with more domestic disputes. While they don't police the general populace like the general Army do, they work more as detectives and as heavily armed police working to weed out internal strife and internal dissidents. They commonly are dispatched in response to cases of "black magic," or rogue witches or wizards attempting to curse people. The Royal Guard, as its name would suggest, is made to protect the Royal Family and other important government and Collegiate figures. The Air Force, while small, is made to provide an initial level of defense against possible invasion.

Outside of Hercynia, soldiers from the military, commonly referred to colloquially as "Milts" generally find themselves in the service of foreign nations. Owing to a large mercenary history stretching back to before the founding of the Hercynian Federation, individual Hercynian army regiments are generally hired out by various foreign powers to preform many tasks on their behalf. These can include colonial patrols, capturing forts, counterinsurgency, assassination, and more. Owing to Hercynia's neutrality, Hercynian regiments can be hired by any nation provided that they are paid well enough for their services, and Hercynian mercenaries served in the War of the Grand Coalition on both sides. This "foreign service" is commonly referred to as Gosti Ambigat, or GosAm for short.

Hercynian soldiers are required to follow a "code of honor" when serving outside the Kingdom, in which individual regiments are required to never fire on one another, get in the way of another regiment, or overall cause disruptions that would negatively affect Hercynia on the world stage. As would be expected, this foreign service has caused numerous diplomatic incidents between Hercynia and other countries, especially Altenland, Alytaj, Auvernia, and the SIA. In recent years, foreign interventions in Nymeria and Aestia have caused the majority of these diplomatic incidents.

In the Army and Royal Guard, service is generally open only to men, though since The Opening, individual regiments have been allowed to recruit women into their ranks for the purposes of espionage, support, or frontline combat. The Air Force and IhMKw both openly recruit women into their ranks.
