Melromarc

The Kingdom of Melromarc (メルロマルク王国) is the name of the country the Four Legendary Heroes were summoned to.

Summary
In this country, the Queen is the true ruler so she holds power over the king, but gives him authority to rule as she sees fit while she is away dealing with diplomatic relations. During this time the waves ravaged Melromarc and other regions of the world. This resulted in the destruction of the demi-human protected village. Melromarc's king summoned the heroes and asked them to fight for the waves. The queen was shocked and tried to release the pent up tension of the international community. All the negotiation's by the queen were undone by the actions of the King and the church's cumulative actions.

Meanwhile, the Shield Hero was heavily discriminated under a false claim. This increased the tension in the world community. The heroes were not properly managed and were ramping things on their own accord which result in damage than success. The king and the first princess were misusing the power. The things that the Shield Hero was denied became uncountable and the king was not responding to her letters.

When Mirellia returned, she punished all those involved and proved the innocence of the shield hero. She tried to persuade the shield hero to base his action in her land. The shield hero was considering to move to another nation but was recalled Fitoria's word., who implied that all the heroes need to cooperate to fight the waves. Mirellia bowed and begged him to work in her nation.

Mirellia revealed that her nation lost access to the seven-star heroes because of the cardinal hero's summoning. Towards the end of the series, it rose up to be the most powerful country of the world, not only because of the possession of four holy heroes but also because of their resounding victory against the former powerful nation of Faubley. In the past, Trash became a well-renowned hero of Melromarc.

History
It has a long history of having war with neighboring countries, the Demi-human nation Siltvelt. This was mostly due to the racial discrimination existed in both the nation against the other race and also because of the religious belief of the other nation/race being evil.

Customs
Melromarc has the tradition of having the husband's name decided by the wife.

Government
It is a matriarchal country under the monarch of the queen, who holds the highest authority. As well be a Matriarchal country Melromarc has an oligarchy power structure with powerful nobles bidding to keep in the favor with the Monarchy for Power and influence. Women hold higher social value and power than men. Any violence against women is considered to be an offense punishable by death penalty.

Religion
Melromarc's religion is the extremist faction that split from the Four Saints Faith, the Church of the Three Heroes. However, due to their terrorist kind of actions, the majority of their members were either executed or imprisoned. It was later replaced by Religion of four saint faith. Their first task was to correct all the misconception spread by the Cult of Three heroes in regards to Shield Hero and also to improve the relationship between the Humans and Demi-humans. Unfortunately, it wasn't as easy as it seemed, as it took too long to overwrite the centuries of three heroes church preaching and to mend the bad blood between the human-Demi-Humans and the reputation of shield hero was far too damaged to be corrected. The staunch believers of the Cult refused to change even after the evidence was brought to light. Fanatics of the cult caused problems to Naofumi many times later. While majority of the commoners switched to new the religion, the nobles who aided the country to fight war the against Demi-humans still were adamant and were helping the remnant of the cult to rise.

Military
In times of Trash's Youth, Melromarc made its mark for its resourcefulness, as they were able to defeat the mighty Siltvelt which dreamed of world conquest. But, in times its glory & strength went downhill and they did all they could to prevent Naofumi from crossing the border, for they were fearing a war with Siltvelt. The queen used her diplomatic wit to prevent war, even willing to marry off her daughter, Malty to the cruel king of Faubley to prevent the war. The queen bowed to the feet of the shield hero to beg him to stay in Melromarc, as it might start the war if he chose to leave.

After Trash reawakens his senses, they took down the powerful expedition of Faubley under Tact. Reclaiming it's former glory and rose to be the most powerful military of the world.

Geography
Melromarc is on the main world continent surrounded by some of the most powerful kingdoms on the Continent: Rock Valley, Shieldfreeden, Siltvelt, and the Zeltoble kingdoms etc.

Faubley
Though peaceful relations existed between them, it was completely stained after Melromarc summoned the four heroes against the international agreement. But the Queen agreed to the demand of the king of Faubley winning the nation's support in the world conference for the time being. It was again stained when Tact rose to power and killed the queen of Melromarc for no apparent reason. He invaded all the countries including Melromarc, under the pretext of uniting the world under the true hero, himself. The original four heroes and Siltvelt followed Trash plan to squash its army and took control of most of the Faubley land making Melromarc be the powerful nation.

Siltvelt
Melromarc and Siltvelt had a centuries of bad blood mostly because of the treatment of racial differences and discrimination based on it. When Siltvelt desired for global domination, Luge of Melromarc halted their way. The queen of Melromarc mended things with Siltvelt, after decades of peace negotiation by setting up a Demi-humans protected village in Melromarc while Siltvelt followed her example and set up a Human protected region in their land. This earned both nation a decade of peace. But Problem again rose when Melromarc summoned the four heroes against the international agreement and to make the matter worst the treatment of shield hero enraged them to wage war. The Queen was able to diffuse the situation and things finally settled after she gained the trust of shield hero.

Siltvelt was upset with Tact's action and joined hand with Melromarc, surprising themselves for forming an alliance. Finally, they jointly put down their enemies. Their relationship was mostly mended except for the treatment of slavery under the pretext of fixing that in the future. They even gave their approval for the engagement of the Shield Hero and Melty, if woman from their land are permitted into Nafumi's harem.

Shieldfreeden
Nothing much is mentioned about their past relationship. But they were infuriated by Melromarc for going against the international agreement. They were ready to wage war with Melromarc for their misdeeds against the shield hero. They allied with Tact when he claimed himself to be the real hero. even though he stole the weapon from Naofumi. This earned the ire from the allied forces and the heroes. After the defeat of Tact, they changed their stand. Trash called the world to join hands to fight against the waves and not petty squabbles like Shieldfreeden's action, it was clear that the nation lost their stand and power in the world.

Zeltoble
They have a fairly decent relationship. Zeltoble also helped Melromarc in shadows in times of Tact expedition.
