Well within the war, the Kingdom of Nevarra is looking to efficiently make use of the resources available to it to the best of their ability. Given the vast tracks of land that has to be covered its no surprise that militarily Nevarra fields among the most mobile infantry in Ouhiri through a combination of horse-mounted dragoons to Nevarra's fully mechanized heavy infantry. The former of course simply relies on food and training which is significantly cheaper at the cost of time it takes to rear and the truth is that if a horse suffers permanent injury then nine times out of ten it would be retired. Through the latter, however, much more costly to produce especially with the war causing a large diversion of resources. But more often than not, war leads to desperation and desperation leads to innovation.
Taking account of Nevarra's impressive oil production despite the fact that the nation itself largely consumes Staol for power, efforts have been made to look into alternative applications byproducts produced post-refinement. Namely, Nevarra has noticed that petroleum byproduct possesses weak elastomeric properties and is now currently focused on researching a means to refine petroleum elastomers in order to hypothetically produce a material that would duplicate the effects and qualities of natural rubber. With this, Nevarra speculates that it could cut down on importing during the war if they could synthesize their own rubber, freeing other nations resources as well as being able to aid in the repairing of their mechanized divisions and supplying their soldiers with shiny new boots!

Nevarra has started research: "Synthetic Rubber"
