Economy: Gold, silver, and copper rather poor compared to other nations but it does not bother them to much.
Military: 20,000 highly trained sailors/infantry. They wear light armor for mobility and in case they fall overboard. Often weilding a axe/sword and a large round sheild. They have one of the largest fleets, and have incredible design. Larger ships are equipped with several ballista, and oars along with the standard sails. Smaller more agile boats just have oars and one ballista however they can have small crews of 12. (Imagine long boats)
5,000 militia with some training, These men and women already have weapons but have no armor at the ready. Will not join in military campaigns, and are only used to defend.
10,000 reserves willing to serve in the defence of their lands, not in a military campaign. These people have simple farming tools at the ready for weapons. Given time they can be equipped better.
Religion: They believe in several gods, but worship the god of the sea known as Skaleal. It is said that he gave the Skaivier strong boats to protect them, and created fish to feed them. He is the cause of storms, and are seen as a bad sign.
Culture: Living in the cold northern region, the Skaivier are excellent in making blankets, clothing, and beautiful tapestry. The tapestry often decorates the inside of halls and houses, and brings color to the rooms.
A large portion of the population either owns or works on a farm. With large open fields to let livestock roam, and tons of fertile soil beneath their feet; hunger is scarce within this nation.
Fishing is very common, and most tend to know their way around a boat.
