Current state of the Suomi Empire in the 5th year of the reign of the Boy-Emperor Paivio Tsuudit. The Emperor has had a thankfully uneventful half-decade on the throne since the death of his father, Emperor Veli II, against a Vilnian peasant revolt (the leader of whom was burnt at the stake in a vain attempt at vengeance).
Paivio's rule has been administered by a pair of less-than-competent regents who lack the talent needed to properly administrate both the royal demesne and the Emperor's vassals, though not catastrophically so. Many across the realm dream of the day Paivio reaches the age of majority, particularly due to concerns over the Latin West, which appears primed to call a crusade at some point within the coming years. The inefficiencies caused by Paivio's regents can be abided at the moment, but if the warriors of the cross strike east, the consequences of such mismanagement may become the Suomi's stumbling block.
