Lore

Before 1002, the Polar Bears were largely fractured and completely backwards in their technological and societal progress. This changed however, when Paw Wellington emerged as despot. The uncivilized, tribal society of the Polar Bears was developed into a civilized, pre-industrial society under the reign of the firm but fair Wellington. It is said that the Polar Bears have seen decent success under Wellington's 7-year reign as despot.

Starting Situation

Polar Bears located at the northernmost of the Equestria continent, borders with the  Changeling Lands to the West, the  Kingdom of Pingland to the East and the  Kingdom of Yakyakistan to the South. Polar Bears are mostly dominated by cold temperatures and mountainous terrain (noticeably in the West and North East of the country).

Threats and Opportunities

The first and foremost threat is actually in the country itself. Polar Bears has only one division right at the start, and the Polar Bears barely have any infrastructure alongside with the mountainous terrains. If the players want to have any successful runs, they have to build up both the forces and the infrastructures, fast. The second threat that Polar Bears has to concern about is the  Changeling Lands, as they can at almost any time go after the Polar Bears through border war or straight war.

But, there are some opportunities that the Polar Bears have. The first one is the Northern Pact (it can be formed by the  Kingdom of Pingland through Harmonic path and the  Kingdom of Yakyakistan can join it), Polar Bears can be invited to the faction for its safety around the threats. Second is the western border which consists of mostly mountains. Therefore, they can be used as natural forts in case of Changeling invasion.
