Kutaiyara

Summary
Kutaiyara is a puppet state of Eisenland in the south-west of Cymru with only one city but 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 Eisenland 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.

The Torvirishan Travesty
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.

The Formation of Kutaiyara
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.

The Flag
The flag of Kutaiyara was designed to show the unity of the citizens by use of the rings. The gold represented the aim to create a golden representative society as well as having Zefraniac roots. The green represents the painful past that we must remember because the original dye for it was made from Takmandans bamboo which was of huge cultural importance to them.

The Anthem
[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.

Council members
Council members are the essential leaders of Kutaiyara and are the ones who come up with all of the laws and decide entirely what to do when there is not enough time for a national vote. There have only been one set of council members who have held longer than should be in the constitution because of how shattered Kutaiyara has been but there should hopefully be many more:

Governing
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

Council Members
There are two types of council members. Mayoral 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 council membership as an elected council member. Each council member may only keep their post for 3 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.

Mayoral council
There is a mayor for every town in the federation (or two for the capital). These mayors 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.

The Chancellor and ministers
After the election of council members, 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.

Geographic Location
The Federation of Kutaiyara is located in south-western Cymru around a single mountain upon which its capital is built. It is also in a desert. Its capital Tichmorok is built as a Mediterranean style city and takes up most of the mountain. The nation also stretches into a bit of jungle in the south which is where the majority of its crops are produced
