Kutaiyara

Kutaiyara is a part of the union of Dara Lumonde and a nation within the horde in the south-east of haven with two cities. However it is one the most modern democratic federation in Rathnir. It was formed of refugees trying to find a new home after being forcibly removed from Zefrania. After much journeying they finally found a home in who let them establish a puppet state.

Zefranian purges
The original Kutaiyarans used to all live in Zefrania. When Zefrania joined Alda many of them were shocked because the leaders of Zefrania had not contacted any of the other citizens or held any vote on if it was a positive decision and many of the citizens were angry and had been wronged by the government before. The mayors of Blyth Yanren (MasterExplode) and Takmandan (Lordivoldmordi) organised a secret organisation and a peaceful protest however when the Tenoch (king) Orleborle found out about this and immediately brought in the military to destroy the protesters. They knew they couldn't win against Alda so they surrendered and left the nation for a safe space Lordi had organised in Alda.

Wandering the world
Following the evacuation of Zefrania the previous citizens of Blyth Yanren and Takmandan were scattered across Tortuga and the world. With the loss of Xoda (MasterExplode) the group drifted further apart and it seemed like they would never have land of their own. However by the powers of Truthturtle (the magic side of Sinkturtle) Xoda returned and worked his hardest to set the group on track to becoming a nation.

As Xoda began looking for land again he was drawn to the Collapsing Imperial Achonal Union. He believed settling there would insure them a safe place temporarily and possibly even sovereignty in the long term. He thought that the IAU would not kick out free settlers in its weakened state and if it collapsed they would have a chance of getting independence. He was wrong. They settled among mountains in eastern Torvirisha and Fomed the town of Palymer which was just a few houses among the mountains. They approached the IAU government to announce where they had settled and who they were however the IAU was not pleased that they had settled in their land. In the contrary they sent the Kutaiyarans an ultimatum to leave the land in 3 days or be forcibly removed. The Kutaiyarans had to leave, but they would not give up.

Eisenland
Finally the Kutaiyarans found land in Eisenland. After paying the leader 125k the group was aloud to settle as a puppet in hilly portion of the desert and a couple of islands in Eisenlands southern region. The people in the nation were overjoyed and even though it took a long time for them all to arrive they gained a large amount of duel citizens because of their puppet status. Quickly a summit of some of the original members comprised a constitution and the council members were elected. They would begin the construction of the city of Tichmorok, things looked bright. The city was constructed in a Mediterranean style and although it was quite inactive upon formation, it was quickly built up into a respectable little town.

However things would not be peaceful forever, almost immediately after the Refugees had settled Eisenland exploded in Internal Crises. Regions of the nation declared independence and joined the powerhouse of the region, Sirrandra. Xoda heard of a deal which would include Kutaiyara being handed over to Sirrandra so immediately travelled to Sirrandra to talk to its leader. The talks went on indefinatly, until Xoda expressed his true aims to achieve independence and security for the people of Kutaiyara. The leader of Sirrandra said he could have independence if the people really wanted it. Xoda took that to mean that Sirrandra wouldn't intervene if Kutaiyara unified with a number of other puppets in the area and declared independence because Eisenland had just abandoned Kutaiyara. It turned out that the deal between Sirrandra and Eisenland hadn't been signed yet and Sirrandra used this as a justification to frame Kutaiyara as a rebellious region and demand the Kutaiyarans left. Xoda saw no other option and the Kutaiyarans, once again, had to migrate however that didn't stop their spirit or the fact that Kutaiyara had been independent on the map for a single map update.

Reformation
Surprisingly, it did not take long for the Kutiayarans to find another place that would take Them in. Dande had been in a simlaler situation to Kutaiyara months before and offered Kutaiyara to become a puppet in their territory. This act of kindness would cause everlasting respect for the Dandes in Kutaiyaran culture. The governmental structures and building plans were all ready to be immediately put into action as soon as they got land and so the land they had just received was developed quickly this time with Eightwhisper founding his own city in addition to the Capital, New Tichmorok.

Orle, Duty, and Zefrania
Kutaiyara was still young when a letter was brought to its council by Nuke The Conflicted about a possible DUTY invasion of Alda. Kutaiyara had been somewhat in communication with DUTY and they had earned the respect of the Kutaiyaran Chancellor Xoda Vynquist when they had aided Xoda's freinds in Deca Istoka from the hands who wished to annex the nation so the Hradriac council was quick to reach back out to its leadership through Nuke to see if they could aid the invasion and regain at least some Zefranian land. Nuke ensured them that they would be able to get the land but they only had to weight since the Duty Invasion fleet had been kept behind by terrible, almost god created, storms in the sea between Centaris and Alda. The situation got much more complicated quickly though, when the Old leader of Zefrania Orleborle was resurrected and became a competent for the claim to Zefrania. Orle at first seeked to get the country back from Alda whom he had gifted it to in his will however Alda was greedy for the land and refused to hand back Zefrania. On top of this they refused to hand back him money and valuables that he had left to his nation, which was almost devoid of life. The few remaining Zefranians fled to sanctuary in Ceali along with there Ex-King. Kutaiyara was quick in contacting Orle, but they did so with apprehention. Xoda still did not quite trust him, however one of there mayor's was good friends with him and wanted to help. To their surprise Orle was co operative and wanted had realised his wrongs of the past. This lead to more aimiable relations between the two claiments and an aggrement on how to split Zefrania and south Ummarnu.

First expansion of the sphere of Influence
In its formative months, Kutaiyara was quick to make diplomatic relations. The first nation they reached out to was Deca Istoka, who they had been quietly supporting in a war. The recently elected chancellor (Xoda) was friends with many Istokans and greatly respected the nation. The two democracies quickly signed a mutual defence pact and a non aggression pact to make sure they would be bound to each other officially. However soon The federation saw another democratic nation -Ombria- being devoured by an unjust attack from powerful nations such as the Certaria and Bardonia. The Horde (an alliance/nation/something) that Dande was a member of was already assisting Ombria and Kutaiyara elected that is should get involved to aid the fellow democratic nation. In the First battle Kutaiyaran forces where defending the major city of Waahi launched an assault and suffered heavy casualties and then fell back to hold the government buildings - which it did with success. Overall the battle was a triumph because they managed to hold the most important areas of the city and the Certerians and Bardonians eventually fell back Despite higher casuallties on the Defenders side. There was a period of brief ceasefire in this war as neither side was in a position to attack; in this time Kutaiyara made more alliances including a MDP with Solnostan and a NAP with Grand Castell. Soon the ceasefire ended though, and the Hands came in droves. Many of Ombria's allies had abandoned them to fight in Ryzan which was being invaded by Bardonians which lead to there only being a token force (1/6th of it Kutaiyaran) to defend the second attack on Waahi. Almost immediately the defence collapsed and the defenders were routed and killed with barely any Kutaiyarans surviving. The Kutaiyaran minister of defence and Chancellor were in the battle and both barely escaped with there lives.

The 1 year celebration of Dande's existence
Around the time of the Ombrian war the people back in Dande were planning on celebrating the one year anniversary of Dande of which Kutaiyara was a close linked protectorate of. It was planned that the party would be held in New Tichmorok, the capital of Kutaiyara to also celebrate how closely linked the nations were. The party begun with the return of fighters from fighting the war goddess Segra in Dorasterock. With them they brought some friends including a magical bard named Stoney. He magically refilled their goblets of wine and wheatbeer and played a song so beautiful that it was recorded and held as one of the nations most valuable relics.

Destruction, and reforging, of Karabinia
Tensions had risen between the Chancellor of Kutaiyara; Xoda Vynquist, and the Gonzor of Karabinia; Eightwhisper. The feud was mainly over the time it took Xoda to repay the loan from Eight and Eight's town drawing many people away from the capital, partially because of the greater activity of Eight over Xoda. Xoda continuously questioned Eight about players joining his town in an attempt to keep the country as centralised and active as possible but this lead to Eight feeling he was under attack and being treated unfairly. The final straw was when Eight learned he could be democratically voted out of his town when a town Member (RedCharLang) decided to do so when Eight demolished his house. Eight claimed he was simply redesigning Red's house however he later said he preferred the old design. After a period of intense auguing a vote was held over if Eight should be removed from Karabinia, Eight won the vote so had the right to remain however decided destroy and loot the town and leave the nation. This caused a lot of anger against him especially after He returned and killed the chancellor with some of his bandit friends. He would then ask to re-join Kutaiyara, and, despite not exactly wanting to be with Eight anymore, Xoda let him back in since many in Kutaiyara saw it as an appropriate thing to do. It turned out to almost be a bad decision to let Eight back in since he would continue to influence who would become the next leader of Karabinia and insult the design of the town as well as calling Explode a bad leader and calling Kutaiyara dead. The town went to the default leadership of RedCharLang after it was reclaimed by a team led by himself and Xoda, however he was not known well around the nation and another person stepped in, Marcoo. Marcoo was well liked around the nation, and despite living in Tichmorok, wanted to move to Karabinia to help rebuild it. A vote was held and he became Gonzor and started rebuilding the town.

Joining Dara Lumonde
After some time Kutaiyara found itself quite involved in the mega alliances stretching across Rathnir, being a member of the Horde. They found friends with Consau when they settled land in Rexhold, and Parogonite Chevkri. When Dande formed a union with these nations necessitated because of the need of a continental rival of Ulderash, they began do draw in closer. They remained a protectorate of This new union (Dara-Lumonde) for a while but Xoda retained powers in the union. Following Xoda's re-election as chancellor he held a vote on Joining Dara-Lumonde. The motion succeeded and Kutaiyara became one of the largest core territories of Dara-Lumonde.

Regaining Blyth Yanren and The destruction of Zefrania
Kutaiyara was bustling, its population and activity had greatly increased and it had become one of the most powerful states in Dara Lumonde with its government wielding great power in the council chambers of the great union. For this reason, when Dara was approached by an envoy from the High Kingdom of Vanyr stating the destruction of Zefrania and the return of culturally valuable land to Kutaiyara as a positive of assisting Vanyrs invasion of Zefrania then Dara immediately agreed. At this time, Zefrania was a puppet of Vanyr however the original Zefranian leadership (Orleborle and TGOmaster) still ran the nation. Vanyr's relationship with the Zefranian leadership had not been great, Zefrania frequently abused its power, insulted Vanyr itself, and was just rude in general. Kutiayara had experienced this as well and agreed to the destruction of Zefrania. Soon Daran troops had arrived in Vanyr to support its forces and Vanyr and Dara both announced their decisions to attack Zefrania along with a flurry of other nations forming a formidable coalition. The forces ammasing in Vanyr were looking forward for an easy fight, but they wouldn't even get that since the Zefranian government would immediatly surrender, and cowardly, run away to set up a new city in Ceali. With the situation cooling down, Kutaiyara and Dara as an extension received the long lost city of Blyth Yanren in return for their aid in the war, the city would quickly be rebuilt and developed by Kutaiyara.

The Anthem
The Kutaiyaran national anthem represents the peaceful natures of the people of Kutaiyara but also there revolutionary ideals and how they will fight for them if they must.

The Name
The name 'Kutiayara' stems from the words Kutai and Yara. The word Kutai is the type of Ship that the Kutaiyarans used when they travelled the world during the time that they did not have a home. Yara is an abbreviation of Yharaih meaning people, so the name of Kutaiyara somewhat descended from meaning 'people of the Ships' however it has developed to more a name for the land and the nation over time.

Government
The Federation of Kutaiyara is a Democracy. Most of the everyday decisions of running the nation are managed by ministers in the Council which is made up of mayors and elected council members. Major decisions are made by the people in a national vote. The grand chancellor is elected in the council and assigns council members ministerial positions as well as sorts out disputes and comes up with compromises in the council

Hradraic Council
There are two types of Hradriac council members. Gonzoral council members are any mayors with more than 5 people in their town and they automatically get a spot on the council. Any full citizen can also run for Hradriac membership as an elected into the Hradriac council. Each council member may only keep their post for three months. After the term expires. The person is allowed to apply again. They can stand as a candidate three in a row until you have to take a break in the election round. The rule applies to all candidates. The task of the council members is to listen to the voice of the people and to implement their opinion, to manage with secret information of the state which were not immediately published. Except for martial law, the council cannot decide anything for itself. The council only drafts the laws and votes whether this law could be shown to the population in a national vote. The council are the main runners of the country and do most of the decision making.

Gonzoral council
A Gonzor is effectively a mayor. There is a Gonzor for every town in the federation or two for the capital. These Gonzors have a guaranteed spot on the council if they have 5+ active people in their town tracked by the other council members. If they do not have 5+ people in their town they get assumed into an organization called the mayoral council. The mayoral council is a union of town mayors who elect a number of mayors dependent on their combined population to represent the small towns in the council.

Chancellor and ministers
After the election of the members of the Hradriac council, the council members must choose a chancellor in a vote. The vote is then verified with a national vote to make sure everyone believes they are the best person for the job. The chancellor effectively leads the council, they assign ministers their roles and settles compromises when establishing laws. Whenever council members are re-elected the chancellor is also re-elected. Ministers are council members who are chosen by the chancellor to direct the country in a certain field. For example The minister of agriculture would be in charge of the construction of farms and the procurement of food. It is important to understand that the ministers can't make major choices in their field without the approval of the council and maybe even the entire population as well. The Minister of Agriculture would have to ask the council before constructing a new farm however the Minister can maintain that farm without council intervention. If the Minister wanted to turn an entire city into a farm they would need the approval of the entire population.

Geography
The Federation of Kutaiyara is located in the savanna of south east haven with a portion of its north-eastern land containing some Desert. It is hilly and surrounded on most sides by rivers. It is comprised of two cities with vastly different styles connected by a system of roads and tunnels. These cities do have a very interconnected urban area though and the hole nation is very compact.

Towns

 * New Tichmorok (The capital)- New Tichmorok is named after the original Tichmorok in Eisenland and is built in a brick and granite style on multiple platforms stretched up the hills. It is the nations capital and has the largest industry and population.
 * Karabinia- Karabinia is a new city founded by Eight when the Kutaiyarans found out they had enough land in settling in Dande. It is built in a Mediterranean port style and has a lot of foliage.
 * Blyth Yanren - The oldest city in the Federation (technically). One of the old cities that the Kutaiyarans resided in before leaving Zefrania. Regained after the Zefranians were removed from Vanyr, it is currently undergoing a reconstruction.

Military
Kutiayara would be quick to establish an effective military to protect against any threat that had who may attack like many had done in the past. In its first few days a meeting hall and fighting arena where built to allow space for the military to train. The Hradriac council member Sinkturtle was chosen as minister of War and was quick to start training others. The Extremely skilled fighter Tiller soon also rose up the ranks and Became a Ketaren (General) along with Xoda and another Fighter known as Taha.

The Gelatov
The Gelatov is the total head of the Kutaiyaran military, they know all of its operations and lead it while commanding it to do whatever they want. They are usually the most skilled pvper in the Hradriac council however it is possible for people outside the council to become Gelatovs too. To become a Gelatov one has to prove that they are better at pvp than the existing Gelatove by defeating them in a duel, (None council members also need to prove that they are good at leadership and have played for a long time to become Gelatov).

Ketarens
Ketarens are the next highest rank in the military, they can be anyone in the nation and there can be any number of them (As long as its suitable to the number of players). They are second in command (Behind the Gelatov) in any battle and can lead there own divisions. There is no application to become a Ketaren you just need to be a good enough Fighter to be chosen.

Active military
The active military is made up of only the best soldiers in the federation, they are the ones who will participate in most wars and have the most training, in IG terms they are anyone ranked C- or above. Despite Kutaiyara's lack of many pvpers it has grown its active military to be pretty formidable with the help of Tiller and Sinkturtle and all the active army is always completely motivated to make any military action requiered.

Reserves
The reserves are the larges portion of the Kutaiyaran army and make up the bulk of its defences in case of foreign invasion. These troops aren't trained very well but can help in an all out war. Almost every active citizen is enrolled in the reserves.

The Kutaiyaran People
Kutaiyara has always been a diverse nation, Its population consisting mainly of ex-Zefranians but only at 54%, the other 46% are a mix of Eisenlandian duel citizens, Tortugans who moved with them, Malryans and Ex-Seahaveners, and a small percentage of Lorenti duel citizens and people from Dande. This diversity has meant that Kutaiyara is quite liberal in its ways, it has become expectant of two main religions, the Nas'iib faith and Pintyara who co-operate quite peacefully, although it has been noted that government positions are overwhelmingly taken up by Nas'iibians.

Industry and economy
Historically New Tichmorok had been the nations economic core, with its city centre being the centre of trade and fine art and culture, however, outside of the city centre it was relatively agrarian with compact farms making a large part of its economy. Karabinia however had many factories and foundries all fuelled by lava. The lava came from lava factories which used precious dripstone, which there was an excise of under New Tichmorok. The goods produced in these factories, much of it being armour and weapons, was then sent to New Tichmorok to either be sold on the more active trade routes in New Tichmorok or kept in stock pile. However, after Karabinia was rasacked and destroyed by its Ex-mayor, Eight, most of its industry collapsed or left. In its refurbishment it became a money pit, not bringing back nearly as much money as was going into it. Despite this construction in Karabinia has been rapid and now designed in a way that will benefit the industry when it returns.

Religion
Kutaiyara follows 2 main religions, the religion of the Nas'iib Faith and the religion of Pintyara. The majority of the populous follows Nas'iib while the military is heavily influenced by Pintyara. Controversially to religious relations in most nations Pintyara and Nas'iib work side by side and is is not prohibited to believe in both religions. This is because the Kutaiyarans follow a philosophy that describes the present as a result of many pasts that are all equally real and unreal. The basics of the religions are:

Nas'iib
Nas'iib Faith is an religion, that originated from Rathnir in the Nation of Kutaiyara where the first revelations occured. The Nas'iibs belief in three Gods; The God of light Vitta, The God of Darkness Ja'hir and the God of balance Golh. The Nas'iibs worship the God of Light, Vitta, and also believe in the Gods of Darkness and balance, Ja'hir and Golh, but did not worship him.

Pintyara
The religion of Pintyara is centered around five beings. These five beings were formed at the beginning when the world of Rathnir was first formed from the void. The beings exists to keep Rathnir in balance, and everywhere that a sentient creature touches, you will find the five beings. The five beings are not "Gods," meaning that they didn't create the world and only exist to keep it in balance. This also doesn't mean that another God made them. They naturally were made by the universe to create balance.

The University of New Tichmorok and the class of Scholars
The New Tichmorok university is a relativly new Institution and was founded by the esteemed scholar Waiwai. In years previose to its establishment Waiwai had come under employment by the Kutaiyaran government to develop more advanced weapons, and in doing so, had discovered many interesting elements of physics. He published his findings and his book gained popularity all over the world. With this popularity he was given a grant by the Kutaiyaran government to establish a university, which soon became the most popular in Dara Lumonde gave rise to much higher levels of technological innovation in Kutaiyara and increased literacy rates and overall development. Many people would begin dedicating their lives to the university to protect it and work in it. These people became known as scholars and were a well respected and relatively independent part of the kutiyaran government, only dedicating them to service in arming the Kutaiyaran and Daran military.

Language
During the Kutaiyarans travels most citizens had spoken Zefranian or some other Kuzat dialect like the ones present in Blythia with many exceptions and many people speaking other languages. By the time the Kutaiyarans found a home the language situation had become even more congealed with many other travellers and refugees speaking other languages joining the Zefranian majority. The fact that there was no universal language in a nation so tightly bounded by community proved a massive problem when people were unable to speak to each other since they did not share a common language. This prompted the Kutaiyaran government to implement a new language called Kutayo. The language tried its best to mimic the cultural significance of some Zefranian words while simultaneously simplifying its more archaic complications.
