* CityNoir: Imperia, the Servothian capital, is constantly covered in overcast and heavy rain. It doesn't help that the city is also heavily polluted. The city would be considered beautiful, if not a bit garish, had it not been for these factors.
* GasMaskLongcoat /GasMaskMooks: The Schwarze Sonne, the personal guard of the Kaiser, employ this. Wearing black leather trenchcoats and wearing gas mask whenever on duty. The gas masks are used primarily to defend against possible gas attacks.
* GermanicEfficiency: Servothian technology is typically cutting edge, they are tend to run their nation a efficiently possible.
* {{Kaiserreich}}: Closest Vapor has to this, minus the aristocracy and you have Servoth.
* NiceHat: Pickelhaubes for the officers and stahlhelm for the soldiers.
* PollutedWasteland: In attempt to industrialize in the 1860s and 1870s, Servothian industry adopted a laissez-faire policy regarding the environment. The pollution has gotten so bad by the 1910s, electric cars are being promoted en masse.
* [[ProudWarriorRace Proud Soldier Race]]: The entire nation is practically built to service the military, to even qualify for a major government position you must be actively a part of the military.
* ThenLetMeBeEvil: Coming out of the 1880s, Servoth was a relatively minor country in the way of notoriety. But after the Servothian State invaded a city named Luxburg in Voerdeland, perceptions of the country generally became sour. This got worse after they allied with Cygnar and Vitzenburg, creating the Federation of Imperial Nations in 1901. And even after FIN dissolved in 1905, Servoth was still thought more or less evil by other Amplector nations. The fact that they continued to screw with the affairs of nations in Zhao and made a deal with Prinnia to help disrupt the Haven Compact in 1911 doesn't help.

* CripplingOverspecialization: Military doctrine currently (1900-1907) holds the ground force above all other branches. Though this makes the nation practically invulnerable from foreign invasion, there is little ability to project its influence and whim beyond the continent of Zhao.

*ButtMonkey: Let's start shall we.
** First, Voerdeland was an isolationist state in the 1870s, this led to mass unemployment. A 1885 conference in Fanaglia, which was attend by many nations, agreed to build an international railroad, wrapping all the way around the world. The Voerdish completed their part of the railroad in 1889, but the costs drove them further in debt.
** [[BigBad Black Sheild]] then stepped in and raised a revolution to destabilize the nation, which then split into two.
** Next came the increase in tariffs on the International Railroad, as Vjiay wished to increase their profits. This caused nations in Amplector to stop sending supplies to Voerdeland, as well as increased tension on the continent.
** Then a number of outside nations, dubbed the "Imperials" (Cyprum Xecuii, Inesea, Khamul, and Servoth), invaded at various times and made claims to the land.
** Khamul then started a genocide against the Voerdish peoples, which lasted thirteen years and resulted in the death of several million, utterly dwarfing the Holocaust.
** The two split factions of Voerdeland banded together and called for several Promethian and Amplector allies to come help them; in total the Voerdeland Allied Forces included the Republic of Nova Voerda (RNV), the Voerdish Provisional Government (VPG), Inoroth, Gratia Infinita, Mishmahig, Vjiay, Black Sheild, Fanaglia, and Vitzenburg.
** Servoth, having only held one city for their time there, left quickly in late December, 1890 after meeting local resistence. The other Imperials stayed, but Cyprum Xecuii faught and then surrendered. Inesea managed to stay by claiming Neutrality, and Khamul managed to magically stay for another thriteen years.
** The two halves of Voerdeland reunited, but lost a majority of their land. Khamul stayed [[RuleOfThree another thirteen years]], only leaving after the conclusion of the Sri-AMEN War in 1903. And Vjiay managed to maintain an occupational forces in the country for another few decades.
