Kartek

General Overview
The Kartek Horde is a continuation state of both the Holy Tzardom of Greater Arxella and the large nomadic nation the Gertek Horde. The nation is situated on the northern coast of the eastern continent of Sparwood, with the nation holding two capitals, Vosokogrod (the Western Arxellan Capital) and Gortovar (the eastern Gertek Capital), with each respective centers being led by the respective rulers of the diarchy. As it currently stands, the Kartek Diarchy is currently bordered by a variety of states, including the Frosmyrean Empire, Escharia, and Vraelea.

The nation is styled with a mix of both Western Europe medieval themes and themes of various cultures of the Steppe. This mix of theming also includes its Government, with the Leader of Arxella holding the title of Tzar, while the leader of the Gertek Horde holds the title of Khan. The meaning behind the Nation's given name of 'Kartek ' is currently unknown. The official language of the Nation is currently Travelers Tongue, the most widely spoken language in Rathnir.

Due to sharing poor relations with much of Northern Sparwood, including Frosmyre and the Union of Burgamerian Socialist Republics, Arxella, the main precursor state to Kartek, was forced to find foreign support during a diplomatic crisis. Niedea (later Escharia) become their overlord to protect them from their destruction, with Arxella gaining autonomy over a while, and later becoming a protectorate. After the Kartek Crisis, where Matthew Edishield (RGBstarship/Vectrexplosion), told Escharia about Kartek's independence plot to save Arxella's culture, Kartek accepted a deal offered by Ehrli Valerian Iuris Aesperii where Kartek would gain significant autonomy.

History
The Formation of the Kartek Diarchy - [August 4, 2021]


 * The Arxellans and the Gertek nomads were on the 'brink of war' however luckily both sides decided that it would be both sides mutual interests, to avoid a destructive war. Which could destroy both 'nations'. with them deciding to form anocratic, nation called the Kartek Diarchy where the Gerek Khan and the Tzar of Arxella hold equal power, and where there is a High Council to break political deadlock. This High Council would later consist of five people, the Minister of War appointed by the Tzar of Arxella, the Minister of Religion appointed by the Gertek Khan, and three elected officials from the general public.
