Saxenland is a Grand Duchy established by Albrecht von Odon. It was established after Grand Exterminator Vasiliy of Extermination Zone 01 died, causing a major succession crisis. Ultimately, because of promises of freedom and economic growth, Albrecht emerged as Vasiliy's successor due to his immense support. Albrecht made drastic changes, establishing a monarchy and his house as the rulers of Saxenland. Prior to Albrecht's rule, there had been Vasiliy who ruled with an iron fist and oppressed the citizens of his nation. Vasiliy was from a Russian family who wanted to unite Germany because of the power it could have, and their prior correspondences to German nobles and rulers. Now, after the political upheaval that succession had on Saxenland, people are split between keeping Vasiliy's family in power, or adopting Albrecht and his family as the future leaders of Saxenland. The majority of the common folk support Albrecht, but many powerful Saxen figures side with Vasiliy's family, and if enough tension is stirred, then chaos may break out.
