United Kingdom of Volturus

The United Kingdom of Volturus is a small island nation in Sparwood just west of the Imperial Archonate of Viodoxa. It was formed as a joint monarchy between the Kingdom of Arcturus and the Volo Tribe. They were initially a province of Viodoxa before declaring independence. This country has now been integrated into Eisenland.

Government
The government is headed by the two monarchs of the major groups, the Arcturians and Volo. The monarchs each select one person to act as their advisor. These two monarchs alongside their advisors meet together in a council along with appointed ministers. Each minister is given responsibilities and powers agreed upon by both monarchs.

History

 * Formation under Viodoxa


 * Independence
 * Annexation by Eisenland

Formation under Viodoxa
Volturus originally started as separate nations Arcturus and the Volo tribe. These two groups were in the midst of war with each other over the island, but Loic Archon of Viodoxa reached out to both sides and created an agreement for peace. Both sides agreed to form a joint-monarchy as a province under Viodoxa for protection, until the ongoing tensions settled. Thus Volturus was formed.

Independence
On July 20th 2021 Volturus would declare independence from Viodoxa. This occurred with some disagreement, causing Josu Mogrus(the then advisor) to leave the nation completely.

Annexation by Eisenland
With Volturus having declared itself independent, they decided to start a war they would not be able to win. Having already broken their treaty with Viodoxa, they decided to provoke a war with Eisenland and break an another treaty in the process. This aggressive behavior kicked off the The War of Broken Promises. With supporters from Viodoxa, Skjoldbrodir, UBSR, Solitudinem and then Tortuga, the war was quickly won before it even started. The members of surrender the island and left.

Culture
The culture is melding of Arcturus and Volo cultures. With the Church of Six Divines still being present, but also weakened due to the presence of the Volo. Tokmonism is the most prominent religion in the Southern Kingdom of Volos (Volo tribe) and is a Center point for policy makers. Volos and its capital, New Volotra, have a desert, Arabian theme, and Volos culture and naming traditions are based off of Turkish culture, but not the same.
