Viratayn

Viratayn is a theocratic nation on the eastern side of the Aldoviri Subcontinent of Alteniquia. It is located at the crossroads of Alteniqua to the west and Sparwood to the east, as well as the Tortugan Sea to the south and the Atsyllean Sea to the north.

Foundations
Viratayn was born out of the Sovereign City of Athazolant, following Athaz's retreat from international politics. It was established on December 2nd 2021, with both Athaz as well as Carpicious-a longtime resident of the city, and Athaz's wife- as head of state. Whereas Athazolant was a personality-state centered around Athaz, Viratayn was created to be the product of Athaz and Carpicious, and the union of their ideas. The name "Viratayn" is a corruption of the phrase "Vahtahmirayn" from Athaz's native language, meaning, "Immortal Union", reflecting this concept.

Geography
Viratayn is a small nation with consistent biomes and geography, and little variation. The most diversity can be found in each of the four corners of the nation, which each jut outwards from the center. In the northwest corner there is consistent mountainous terrain which makes up its border with the province of Adavir on the west side. Tall mountains also exist on the south west corner along the coastline, resulting in steep cliffs jutting out of the sea. The ranges are divided by forests between them, and do not interact with each other.

The north east corner features a small expanse of plains, the most flat terrain in the nation, while the south east possesses a dark oak forest biome on the Strait of Hraam.

Central Government
Government of Viratayn is primitive and absolutist. Lacking complex systems, it does not have a constitution, and instead is centered around its two immortal leaders, who hold the title of Ordinator, and Ordinatrix, respectively. Both leaders have effectively equal power, but do not move forward with any action of the other believes that this is the wrong decision. As the two offices are held by immortals who are married, scheming is non existent, and the two never work against each others visions.

Theocracy and Localization
Although largely autocratic, local authority can exist in Viratayn. As it is a small nation with a very limited amount of land, there is a need for special conditions for the legal settlement of new towns. Any settlement in Viratayn must be run and managed by a nationally recognized Zentivaric religious scholar known as a Raillah. This is in order to minimize settlement or requests to settle, as well as ensure that each position of power is held by a higher member of the faith.

If one does qualify to be able to settle or manage a town in Viratayn, and is granted the position by the head of state, then they are able to run it to their liking as long as they do not violate national or religious law or order.

Society and Culture
Viratayn society is centered around a non rigid social class system, which divides people into four groups. Classes may receive certain benefits from the state, and have specific requirements for one to be recognized as a member of the class. However, if one meets the requirements of joining a class, they may become a member of that class any time they like.
