Little surprised its overlooked despite having the largest navy of any landlocked nation
It has never achieved the fame of its neighbours. Ruritania, Freedonia and the Duchy of Grand Fenwick are far better known.

Yes, landlocked.
Many questioned the launch of the battleship Victorious II but few can fail to be impressed at its size and the manner in which it dominates Lake Listenia.
Tours of the exterior of the vessel are available on the lake ferry which has to go around her to reach its destination. This trip also permits a view of the submerged remains of Victorious I and the previous ferry which collided with it due to limited navigable space on the lake during a dry season some years ago.
The popular broadside salute to the new President has sadly been discontinued due to its unfortunate effect on the windows in the capital and the fish in the lake.
