Tengalii Ejzen Kajzerryk

The Tengalii Ejzen Kajzerryk (in Traveler's Tongue: Tengalan Iron Empire), also known as The Iron Empire or simply Tengala, is a nation that currently occupies the Tengalan Sea, part of the western coast of Sparwood Minor, central western sparwood and the former Aatyeli lands in the continent of Sørligste.

Predecessor: The Konfederatzjon av Ejznlandt-Pahonja
The Konfederatzjon av Ejznlandt-Pahonja, translating as the Confederation of Eisenland-Pahonja, also known as Eisenland-Pahonja, was a nation that fully occupied the isles of the Tengalan Sea. The Union would be born from the independent states of the Ryk av Ejznlandt and the Pact of Pahonja, both having recently seceeded respectively from the Imperial Archonal Union and the Pirate Horde of Tortuga. For the political background of both nations, please see: Pahonja, Eisenland.

Isolationism
While the Confederation would not do much in terms of international politics, due to having an isolationist ideology after the events which cause their secession from their former overlords and therefore focusing on the reconstruction of their cities, recruitment and the establishing of stronger bonds between the two parties, they would still sign a few international treaties in Sparwood, such as Mutual Defense Pacts and Non-Aggression Pacts

Internal Structure
The nation is made up of numerous counties, duchies, electoral provinces and kingdoms. This leads to a diverse cast of cultures, however everyone stands united under the Kajzer which holds an absolute rule and final say on any matter. The internal structure of the nation is quite complicated, however, in an oversimplified term its a hiarchy of different ranks and titles.


 * Count
 * Duke
 * Elector count
 * King
 * Kajzer

Counties
The counties are essentially the cities of the Kajzerryk. Meaning one will come to find that most mayors are represented as counts or countesses within the imperial government.

Duchies
Duchies are a collection of counties led by a duke whom represents the counties on a larger scale within the government.

Electoral Provinces

An Elector Count, also simply called an Elector, is on of the highest rank held by the nobility in the Empire behind only the Kings and Emperor.

An Elector Count, who may be male or female, is the feudal ruler of one of the Empire's constituent Electoral Provinces. As the name suggests, each Elector Count possesses one vote which can be used to determine which candidate is elected to succeed to the Imperial throne upon the vacancy of its prior occupant.

Electoral Provinces of the Empire:

• Electoral Province of Acturus

• Electoral County of Litte-Rock

• Electoral County of Balhurst

• Electoral Province of Áld Ejznlandt

• Electoral Province of Atah Ooke (Eastern hook)

• Electoral Province of Pahonjae

• Electoral County of Serafaint

• Electoral Province of  Solium

• Electoral Province of Jushur-Eydurin

• Electoral Province of Akenzkrada

Kingdoms
Most duchies and electoral Provinces falls under the rule of a king or queen. What this means is that the duchies are organised under a kingdom, the king who represents the counties and duchies on a larger scale within the imperial government.

This however comes with some notable exceptions, as Grand Duchies exists, however they are rare. These are essentially duchies who does not belong to a kingdom. As an example the crown colonies of the empire in eldham.

The current kingdoms are:


 * Ryk av Ejznlandt
 * Thassalocracy of Pahonja
 * Ryk av Serafini
 * Ryk av Avaria
 * Crowned union of Hafina

Kajzer
All of these are under the Kajzerryk which is ruled by the Kajzer, the concurrent Kajzer is Gustav av Ejznhjart. While the Kajzer holds full authority over the Kajzerryk, the decision was made to form an advisory council of the most trusted individuals in the Kajzerryk.
