Grand Duchy of Rhine

Government:

Kingston, in union with the Empire of Raven Guard, has become the Grand Duchy of Rhine for the safety, stability, and continued growth of the region. The Grand Duchy of Rhine, officially the Government of the Rhine, or the Rhine for short, is a Socialist Authoritarian regime located in the North East province of Taiga. Focused on the reunification of its oversea lands and the rebuilding of it's once glorious place as a regional power. Under the leadership of the Consul with supreme power, the two primary branches of government are the Councilship and the Grand Assembly. Mild democratization has been implemented to allow citizens the right to vote for their town councilors, and representatives.

History:

For hundreds of centuries, our ancestors roamed the northern frozen lands of the world as nomads, traders, and venturers of the harsh climate. While the earth was young and the soil unspoiled, the people had come to settle in the region of "Great Taiga." Surrounded on all fronts by Arctic like mountains and waterways, the merging point of them would come to be known as the Rhine, the artery of all life in the region. Drenched in countless years of war and bloodshed, stood the rise of a new empire.

The unification of the people led to the rise of the Great Taigese Dynasty, beginning with the cleansing of ancient ways. The era of light had begun. The people enjoyed prosperity through the generations, straying further and further from the ideals that had once brought them together. It was during the late years of the Dynasty that an unusual period of coldth set in, allowing for the plague to take its toll on the people. Countless years of suffering and death, the soil once again drenched in blood, stood ground for the eventual split into the ancient ways of tribal living. The era of light had ended, spreading despair across the lands. Years of division, led to the rise of a foreign foe that plagued our lands under their tyrannical rule. Valesco. An ambitious clan spent on the subjugation of peaceful peoples. A threat. The Ancient Tribes of Taiga had no choice but to reunite to face the threat face to face, in the name of all Taigese people. The great struggle for independence would continue for 18 months, through relentless guerrilla warfare and continuing into the late years. It was only the involvement of the Empire of Raven Guard, that the foe of our lands was cleansed once and for all. In ceremonial respect, the tribes of Taiga unified and transformed, becoming the Grand Duchy of Rhine, to serve as a sturdy pillar of liberty and stability under the banner of Raven Guard. To this day, it acts as a protectorate of the north. Our story, had all but just begun.
