Alokhrad

Alokhrad is a minor nation claiming a province located on the east coast of Haven and is a sovereign protectorate and subkingdom of the Second Empire of Uldarash. The kingdom was founded by Gamerblox2077 and is in practice a monarchy.

Founding
Alokhrad was first founded as a nation without a people. The First King of Alokhrad, King Gamerblox, planned on recruiting people and amass a presence organically. In a stroke of fortune, just two days later a people would settle a city in the desert where Alokhrad had staked its claim. This city would be the South Sands and the first capital of Alokhrad.

The Rebel Uprising
The population of Alokhrad was beginning to grow and the people began to demand a chance to have a say in the development of the kingdom. In response to these demands the King announced that he would create the position of Councilor, which would be elected by the people of each city. The vote was held the 15th of May, and Yusef, who held the treasury was announced as the first councilor of the South Sands.

Since South Sands was the only city under Alokhrad control at the time, Yusef interpreted this as if he was not only the de facto leader of Alokhrad, but also that he had a mandate of the people to the claim the throne. The next day he would claim himself as the rightful king of the South Sands, and Alokhrad by extension.

This was uprising was not without opposition however, and the diplomats from the Holy Chevkri Empire —the neighbouring nation and fellow subkingdom of the Second Empire of Uldarash—refused to recognize the leadership of the rebellion as the legitimate government and the uprising lost its momentum. Yusef, and all the people who had sworn loyalty to him were marked as enemies of the state.

The rebels left Alokhrad, but Yusef, who was the founder of the South Sands and held the claim over the city, refused to give over the territory or the treasury to Gamerblox2077. In practice this meant that King Gamerblox and all citizens of Alokhrad were expelled from the South Sands, which became a sovereign territory of the rebels. In the immediate need for a new capital, King Gamerblox placed the first blocks in the new capital of Eraqat, were a city has long since been planned to be built.

Alokhradi-Chevkri Separation
The area known as Alokhrad was once part of the Holy Chevkri Empire but due to a vote in favor and a lack of any real reason to hold onto the area that is now Alokhrad it ultimately left the Chevkri and declared a new sub-nation in the Second Empire of Uldarash and was officially recognized as such by the Emperors of Uldarash and quickly grown in population and wealth.
